Control device and control method

Abstract

To obtain useful information from others similar to a user him / herself.SOLUTION: A management device comprises: a history information storage section for acquiring position information where user information is associated with time-and-date information from a plurality of user terminals by a communication section, so as to store the position information in a storage section as travel history information; a travel behavior information generation section for generating travel behavior information including travel routes of the respective user terminals based on the travel history information and map information; a user feature extraction section for extracting user features being the features of travel behaviors of users respectively possessing the user terminals based on the travel behavior information; and a similarity calculation section for calculating similarity among the user features. Then, difference information between the travel behavior information of the other users having higher similarity to the user feature of one user and the travel behavior information of the one user is transmitted to the user terminal of the one user via the communication section.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
