[0031] The communication unit 21 is configured by a communication module. The communication module may be a wireless communication module conforming to standards such as IEEE802.21a / b / g / n, LTE, 5G, or 6G, or may be a wired communication module conforming to standards such as IEEE802.3.

[0032] For example, the communication unit 21 communicates with the user terminal 10. The communication unit 21 may receive input information from the user terminal 10. The communication unit 21 may transmit candidates for the directing plan to the user terminal 10.

[0033] The storage unit 22 is configured by a storage medium such as a nonvolatile memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), or a magnetic tape.

[0034] First, the storage unit 22 may store information that associates identification information with replacement information. The identification information is information that the event assistance device 20 can identify based on input information from the user terminal 10. The replacement information is information that can be derived from input information using information already managed by the event assistance device 20, without using the input information received from the user terminal 10. The storage unit 22 may store the following information. Note that storing may be replaced with managing.

[0035] In Option 2-1, as shown in FIG. 4 , the storage unit 22 manages candidate venue identification information, which identifies candidate venues to be used in an event, in association with detailed information about the candidate venues. The candidate venue identification information may be any information that uniquely identifies the candidate venue in the event support device 20, and may be a code assigned to the candidate venue, or the name, address, or telephone number of the candidate venue. The candidate venue identification information may also be interpreted as venue identification information. The detailed information about the candidate venue may include information such as the size, shape, and presence or absence of steps of the candidate venue. The detailed information about the candidate venue may also include information such as the terms of use for the candidate venue. For example, the terms of use may include information such as the type and weight of equipment that can be used at the candidate venue and whether eating and drinking are permitted at the candidate venue. The detailed information about the candidate venue is information that affects the production plans that can be implemented at the event.

[0036] In option 2-2, as shown in FIG. 4, the storage unit 22 manages content candidate identification information that identifies content candidates to be used in the event in association with copyright information of the content candidates. The content candidate identification information may be any information that uniquely identifies the content candidate in the event support device 20, and may be a code assigned to the content candidate or the name of the content candidate. The content candidate identification information may be interpreted as content identification information. The copyright information may include information on whether a license for use of the content candidate is required. The copyright information may include information on the entity (individual or organization) that manages the copyright of the content candidate. The copyright information may be obtained from the entity that manages the copyright of the content candidate. The copyright information is information that affects the production plans that can be executed at the event.

[0037] In option 2-3, as shown in FIG. 4, the storage unit 22 manages reservation target candidate identification information, which identifies reservation target candidates used in the event, in association with schedule information of the reservation target candidates. The reservation target candidate identification information may be any information that uniquely identifies the reservation target candidate in the event assistance device 20, and may be a code assigned to the reservation target candidate or the name of the reservation target candidate (for example, a model number of equipment or a person's name). The reservation target candidate identification information may be read as reservation target identification information. The schedule information may include information on whether the reservation target candidate is available for reservation. The schedule information may include information on the provider who manages the schedule of the reservation target. The schedule information may be acquired from the provider terminal 30. The copyright information is information that affects the production plans that can be executed at the event.

[0038] In option 2-4, the storage unit 22 may manage information on two or more options selected from option 2-1 to option 2-3.

[0039] Secondly, the storage unit 22 may store information associating identification information with a production plan. The identification information is information that can be identified by the event support device 20 based on information input from the user terminal 10. The production plan may be a production plan that has been executed in the past. The storage unit 22 may store the following information. Note that "storing" may be interpreted as "managing."

[0040] In option 3-1, as shown in FIG. 5, the storage unit 22 may manage the performance plans executed at the candidate venues in association with the candidate venue identification information.

[0041] In option 3-2, as shown in FIG. 5, the storage unit 22 may manage a production plan using a content candidate in association with content candidate identification information.

[0042] In option 3-3, as shown in FIG. 5, the storage unit 22 may manage production plans using reservation target candidates in association with reservation target candidate identification information.

[0043] In option 3-4, the storage unit 22 may manage information on two or more options selected from option 3-1 to option 3-3.

[0044] For the sake of simplicity, FIG. 5 illustrates a case in which identification information and production plans are associated one-to-one. However, the storage unit 22 may also associate the identification plans with information related to an event (hereinafter, event-related information) and manage the production plans associated with the event-related information. Identification information such as candidate venue identification information, candidate content identification information, and candidate reservation information identification information are examples of event-related information. The event-related information may include detailed information about the candidate venue, copyright information, schedule information, etc. The event-related information may also include information indicating the category or target demographic of the event.

[0045] Furthermore, the storage unit 22 may construct an AI (Artificial Intelligence) model for generating a production plan using the event-related information and the production plan associated with the event-related information as learning data. The learning data may include data related to an event executed with the intervention of the event support device 20, or data related to the production plan collected via the network 110.

[0046] The control unit 23 may include at least one processor. The at least one processor may include a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), or the like.

[0047] The control unit 23 controls each component of the user terminal 10. For example, the control unit 23 identifies candidate directing plans recommended for an event and presents the identified candidate directing plans to the user terminal 10. "Presenting" may also be interpreted as "outputting" or "transmitting." The control unit 23 may perform the following operations.

[0048] In option 4-1, the control unit 23 may identify venue candidate identification information corresponding to the venue identification information based on the venue identification information. If the venue identification information includes condition information (such as the location of the venue, the size of the venue, and the fee required to use the venue), the control unit 23 may identify one or more venue candidate identification information that match the condition information. The control unit 23 may identify detailed information about the venue candidate associated with the identified venue candidate identification information based on the identified venue candidate identification information, while referring to the information stored in the storage unit 22 (see FIG. 4). The control unit 23 may identify candidate production plans recommended for the event based on the detailed information about the identified venue candidate, while referring to the information stored in the storage unit 22 (see FIG. 5).

[0049] In option 4-2, the control unit 23 may identify content candidate identification information corresponding to the content identification information based on the content identification information. The control unit 23 may identify copyright information associated with the identified content candidate identification information based on the identified content candidate identification information, while referring to the information stored in the storage unit 22 (see FIG. 4). The control unit 23 may identify candidates for production plans recommended for the event based on the identified copyright information, while referring to the information stored in the storage unit 22 (see FIG. 5).

[0050] In option 4-2, for example, the input information may include information indicating whether or not the user wishes to use copyright-free candidate content.

[0051] In option 4-3, the control unit 23 may identify reservation target candidate identification information corresponding to the reservation target identifying information based on the reservation target identifying information. The control unit 23 may identify schedule information associated with the identified reservation target candidate identification information based on the identified reservation target candidate identification information, while referring to the information stored in the storage unit 22 (see FIG. 4). The control unit 23 may identify candidate production plans recommended for the event based on the identified schedule information, while referring to the information stored in the storage unit 22 (see FIG. 5).

[0052] In option 4-4, the control unit 23 may identify candidates for the production plan recommended for the event according to two or more options selected from option 4-1 to option 4-3.

[0053] Here, the control unit 23 may use the above-mentioned generative AI model to identify candidates for the production plan recommended for the event. For example, the control unit 23 may input input information to the generative AI model, and input replacement information (detailed information on the candidate venue, copyright information, schedule information) obtained by reinterpreting the input information to the generative AI model, thereby identifying candidates for the production plan recommended for the event.

[0054] In an embodiment, the storage unit 22 may constitute a management unit that associates and manages venue candidate identification information that identifies venue candidates to be used for an event with detailed information about the venue candidates. The communication unit 21 may constitute a receiving unit that receives venue specification information that identifies a venue to be used for an event from a user terminal. The control unit 23 may constitute a control unit that identifies venue candidate identification information corresponding to the venue specification information based on the venue specification information, and that identifies detailed information about the venue candidate associated with the identified venue candidate identification information based on the identified venue candidate identification information.

[0055] (How to support the event) An event support method according to an embodiment will be described below. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the event support method according to an embodiment.

[0056] As shown in Fig. 6, in step S10, the event assistance device 20 collects various information. Specifically, the event assistance device 20 collects information associating identification information with replacement information (see Fig. 4). The event assistance device 20 collects information associating identification information with a production plan (see Fig. 5). The information may include information related to an event executed with the intervention of the event assistance device 20, or may include information collected via the network 110.

[0057] In step S20, the event assistance device 20 learns the information collected in step S10. For example, the event assistance device 20 may build an AI model for generating a directing plan using the event-related information and the directing plans associated with the event-related information as learning data. The learning data may include data related to an event executed with the intervention of the event assistance device 20, or data related to the directing plans collected via the network 110.

[0058] Although not particularly limited, the processing of steps S10 to S20 may be called a pre-phase.

[0059] In step S30, the event support device 20 receives input information from the user terminal 10. The input information may include information such as venue-specific information, content-specific information, and reservation target-specific information.

[0060] In step S40, the event support device 20 identifies candidate venue identification information (that is, candidate venues) based on the venue specification information.

[0061] In step S50, the event support device 20 identifies candidate directing plans recommended for the event. The event support device 20 identifies candidate directing plans recommended for the event based on at least the translation information (detailed information on the candidate venues, copyright information, and schedule information). The details of the method for identifying candidate directing plans are the same as those in Option 4-1 to Option 4-4 described above, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0062] In step S60, the event support device 20 presents the identified candidates for the production plan to the user terminal 10. "Presenting" may be interpreted as "outputting" or "transmitting."

[0063] In step S70, the event assistance device 20 receives a message (execution request) requesting the execution of the candidate directing plans presented to the user terminal 10. If two or more candidate directing plans are presented to the user terminal 10, the execution request may be a message requesting the execution of any one of the candidate directing plans.

[0064] In step S80, the event support device 20 transmits a message (arrangement request) to the agent terminal 30 requesting the arrangement of resources required for the candidate production plans requested by the user terminal 10. For example, the arrangement of resources may include the reservation of reservation targets (equipment, people).

[0065] In step S90, the event support apparatus 20 receives a response message (arrangement response) to the arrangement request from the agent terminal 30. The arrangement response may include information indicating that the reservation of the reservation target (equipment, person) has been completed.

[0066] Although not particularly limited, the processing of steps S30 to S90 may be called a proposal phase.

[0067] (Action and effect) In an embodiment, the event support device 20 may identify candidate venue identification information corresponding to the venue identification information based on the venue identification information, identify detailed information about the candidate venue associated with the identified candidate venue identification information based on the identified candidate venue identification information, and identify candidate production plans recommended for the event based on the detailed information about the identified candidate venue (Option 4-1). This configuration identifies candidate production plans recommended for the event based on detailed information about the candidate venue (such as the candidate venue's size, shape, presence or absence of steps, terms of use, etc.), making it possible to present appropriate candidate production plans to the user. Meanwhile, because the detailed information about the candidate venues can be interpreted by the event support device 20, the user need only input the venue identification information, reducing the user's workload and improving user convenience.

[0068] In an embodiment, the event support device 20 may identify content candidate identification information corresponding to the content identification information based on the content identification information, identify copyright information associated with the identified content candidate identification information based on the identified content candidate identification information, and identify candidate production plans recommended for the event based on the identified copyright information (Option 4-2). With this configuration, candidate production plans recommended for the event are identified based on the copyright information, making it possible to present appropriate candidate production plans to the user. Meanwhile, because the copyright information is reinterpreted by the event support device 20, the user does not need to be aware of the copyright information of the candidate content, thereby reducing the user's effort and improving user convenience.

[0069] In an embodiment, the event assistance device 20 may identify reservation target candidate identification information corresponding to the reservation target identification information based on the reservation target identification information, identify schedule information associated with the identified reservation target candidate identification information based on the identified reservation target candidate identification information, and identify candidate production plans recommended for the event based on the identified schedule information (option 4-3). With this configuration, candidate production plans recommended for the event are identified based on the schedule information, making it possible to present appropriate candidate production plans to the user. Meanwhile, because the schedule information is reinterpreted by the event assistance device 20, the user does not need to be aware of the schedule information of the reservation target candidates, thereby reducing the user's effort and improving user convenience.

[0070] [Other embodiments] Although the present invention has been described by the above disclosure, the descriptions and drawings that form part of the above disclosure should not be understood to limit the present invention. From this disclosure, various alternative embodiments, examples, and operating techniques will become apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0071] In the above disclosure, the event support device 20 may present two or more candidate production plans to the user terminal 10.

[0072] In the above disclosure, the production plan presented to the user terminal 10 may include information related to the event (potential venues, potential content, potential reservation targets, budget, etc.).

[0073] In the above disclosure, the content identification information may be replaced with information indicating the category or target demographic of the event. That is, content candidates to be used at the event may be identified by the event assistance device 20 based on the information indicating the category or target demographic of the event. In such a case, the information indicating the category or target demographic of the event may be considered to be an example of content identification information.

[0074] In the above disclosure, the reservation target specifying information may be replaced with information indicating the category or target demographic of the event. That is, reservation target candidates to be used in the event may be identified by the event assistance device 20 based on the information indicating the category or target demographic of the event. In such a case, the information indicating the category or target demographic of the event may be considered to be an example of reservation target specifying information.

[0075] In the above disclosure, if the content candidate is not copyright-free, the event support device 20 may acquire a license for the content candidate on behalf of the content candidate. For example, the event support device 20 may transmit license application information to an entity (individual or organization) that manages the copyright of the content candidate.

[0076] Although not specifically mentioned in the above disclosure, a program may be provided that causes a computer to execute each process performed by the event assistance device 20. The program may also be recorded on a computer-readable medium. Using the computer-readable medium, the program can be installed on a computer. Here, the computer-readable medium on which the program is recorded may be a non-transitory recording medium. The non-transitory recording medium is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM.

[0077] Alternatively, a chip may be provided that is configured by a memory that stores programs for executing the processes performed by the event assistance device 20 and a processor that executes the programs stored in the memory.
