Abstract
A recommendation system includes: a display control unit configured to use a rank of a selection evaluation element selected from each of the plurality of evaluation elements, thereby allowing a display device to display a rank distance screen in which a user icon indicating the user and a first proposal activity icon indicating the proposal activity are arranged such that a distance between the user icon and the first proposal activity icon becomes shorter as the rank of the selection evaluation element assigned to the proposal activity becomes higher, the display device being used by the user.
Claims10
A recommendation system comprising a CPU and a memory wherein the CPU is configured to:
- acquire characteristic information including a gender, age, place of residence, and preference of a user;
- recognize a characteristic of the user, based on the characteristic information of the user acquired;
- access an activity database which stores, in the memory, activity information that includes information on various activities that can be experienced and information on facilities in which the activities can be experienced;
- extract a proposal activity suitable for the characteristic of the user recognized and acquire activity information of the proposal activity, wherein amongst a plurality of different information about the proposal activity included in the activity information, the activity information includes a distance from a current position of the user to the facility in which the proposal activity can be experienced, an expected time required to move from the current position of the user to the facility in which the proposal activity can be experienced, a time required for the proposal activity, a skill required for the proposal activity, and a tool required for the proposal activity as evaluation elements;
- assign a rank for each of the evaluation elements to the proposal activity;
- and
- use a rank of a selected evaluation element, of the evaluation elements, selected from each of the evaluation elements, thereby allowing a display of a terminal device to display a rank distance screen in which a user icon indicating the user and a first proposal activity icon indicating the proposal activity are arranged such that a distance between the user icon and the first proposal activity icon becomes shorter as the rank of the selected evaluation element assigned to the proposal activity becomes higher,
- the terminal device, which includes the CPU and the memory, being gripped and used by the user, is configured to;
- receive a selection of the selected evaluation element performed by the user on the terminal device;
- allow the display of the terminal device to display the rank distance screen, using the selected evaluation element whose selection is received;
- obtain motion detection data obtained by a motion sensor provided on the terminal device, and recognize a displacement of the terminal device, and a size and a speed of a swing of the terminal device that is gripped by a hand of the user and swung;
- and
- receive, based on the displacement of the terminal device, and the size and the speed of the swing of the terminal device recognized, the selection of the selected evaluation element.

A recommendation method executed by a computer including a CPU and a memory, comprising:
- a user characteristic information acquisition step of acquiring characteristic information including a gender, age, place of residence, and preference of a user;
- a user characteristic recognition step of recognizing a characteristic of the user, based on the characteristic information of the user acquired in the user characteristic information acquisition step;
- a proposal activity information acquisition step of accessing an activity database, which stores in the memory, activity information including information on various activities that can be experienced and information on facilities in which the activities can be experienced, extracting a proposal activity suitable for the characteristic of the user recognized in the user characteristic recognition step, and acquiring activity information of the proposal activity, wherein amongst a plurality of different information about the proposal activity included in the activity information, the activity information includes a distance from a current position of the user to the facility in which the proposal activity can be experienced, an expected time required to move from the current position of the user to the facility in which the proposal activity can be experienced, a time required for the proposal activity, a skill required for the proposal activity, and a tool required for the proposal activity as evaluation elements;
- a rank assignment step of assigning a rank for each of the evaluation elements to the proposal activity;
- a display control step of using a rank of a selected evaluation element, of the evaluation elements, selected from each of the evaluation elements, thereby allowing a display of a terminal device to display a rank distance screen in which a user icon indicating the user and a first proposal activity icon indicating the proposal activity are arranged such that a distance between the user icon and the first proposal activity icon becomes shorter as the rank of the selected evaluation element assigned to the proposal activity becomes higher, the display device being gripped and used by the user;
- an evaluation element selection reception step of receiving the selected evaluation element performed by the user on the terminal device;
- a display step of allowing the display of the terminal device to display the rank distance screen, using the selected evaluation element whose selection is received, by the evaluation element selection reception step as the selected evaluation element;
- and
- a displacement recognition step of obtaining motion detection data obtained by a motion sensor provided on the terminal device, and recognizing a displacement of the terminal device, and a size and a speed of a swing of the terminal device that is gripped by a hand of the user and swung,
- wherein in the evaluation element selection reception step, receiving, based on the displacement of the terminal device, and the size and the speed of the swing of the terminal device recognized by the displacement recognition step, the selection of the selected evaluation element.
