Information presenting method, information presenting device, and information presenting program

An information presentation apparatus comprising:

• a memory configured to store rainfall information including a predetermined index value relating to past rainfall and a corresponding date-time and damage information including details of damage that occurred due to past rainfall and a corresponding date-time;
• and
• circuitry configured to
• acquire a spot value and a forecast value of current precipitation;
• compute an index value relating to current rainfall, using the acquired spot value and forecast value;
• specify, with reference to the rainfall information, a date-time of the index value relating to past rainfall whose similarity to the computed index value relating to current rainfall is not less than a predetermined threshold value, the predetermined threshold value being determined in accordance with ranking information;
• and
• present, with reference to the damage information, details of damage that occurred in a period whose difference from the specified date-time is in a predetermined range, wherein
• the circuitry is configured to present the details of the damage as a plurality of icons, each of the plurality of icons corresponding to one of a plurality of observation points, and, in response to an actuation of one of the plurality of icons by a user, present further details of the damage corresponding to a corresponding one of the plurality of observation points, wherein the plurality of icons are presented on a map.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including an information presentation program for causing a computer to execute:

• acquiring a spot value and a forecast value of current precipitation;
• computing an index value relating to current rainfall, using the acquired spot value and forecast value;
• specifying, with reference to rainfall information including a predetermined index value relating to past rainfall and a corresponding date-time, a date-time of the index value relating to past rainfall whose similarity to the computed index value relating to current rainfall is not less than a predetermined threshold value, the predetermined threshold value being determined in accordance with ranking information;
• and
• presenting, with reference to damage information including details of damage that occurred due to past rainfall and a corresponding date-time, details of damage that occurred in a period whose difference from the specified date-time is in a predetermined range, wherein
• the presenting comprises presenting the details of the damage as a plurality of icons, each of the plurality of icons corresponding to one of a plurality of observation points, and, in response to an actuation of one of the plurality of icons by a user, presenting further details of the damage corresponding to a corresponding one of the plurality of observation points wherein the plurality of icons are presented on a map.
