Abstract
An information processing apparatus of this application includes a controller. The controller is configured to execute: identifying a behavior pattern of a user using a behavior model of the user, the behavior model being generated based on past behavior information of the user detected by a sensor capable of detecting the behavior information of the user, predicting a scheduled arrival time, which is an arrival time of the user at a building to which the user travels, based on the identified behavior pattern of the user, and providing information to the user regarding the movement to the building so that the user can arrive at the building by the predicted scheduled arrival time.
Claims12
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a storage device;
- and
- a controller, wherein
- the controller is configured to execute:
- collecting behavior information of a user, the behavior information being first position information of the user outside of a building detected by a position detecting sensor provided in a mobile terminal of the user during a period until the user has arrived at the building,
- in response to detecting that the user has arrived at the building based on the first position information, generating a behavior model of the user, the behavior model being a first time-series representation of a position of the user outside of the building in which an arrival time of the user at the building is recorded based on the first position information, by converting the first position information into time series data,
- storing the behavior model in the storage device,
- after the behavior model has been stored in the storage device, acquiring second position information of the user outside of the building detected by the position detecting sensor,
- identifying a behavior pattern of the user using the behavior model of the user based on a present time and a present position of the user including the second position information, the behavior pattern being a second time-series representation of the position of the user outside of the building,
- predicting a scheduled arrival time, which is an arrival time of the user at the building to which the user travels based on the behavior pattern,
- calculating a travel route from the present position to the building, determining a mode of transportation for moving on the travel route, and calculating a movement starting time at which the mode of transportation is to start-moving from the present position to the building on the travel route based on the travel route, the mode of transportation, the present time, and the scheduled arrival time, so that the user can arrive at the building by the scheduled arrival time, and
- providing the user with information regarding movement to the building, including at least the travel route, the mode of transportation, and the movement starting time.
An information processing method executed by a computer, including:
- collecting behavior information of a user, the behavior information being first position information of the user outside of a building detected by a position detecting sensor provided in a mobile terminal of the user during a period until the user has arrived at the building;
- in response to detecting that the user has arrived at the building based on the first position information, generating a behavior model of the user, the behavior model being a first time-series representation of a position of the user outside of the building in which an arrival time of the user at the building is recorded based on the first position information, by converting the first position information into time series data;
- storing the behavior model in a storage device of the computer;
- after the behavior model has been stored in the storage device, acquiring second position information of the user outside of the building detected by the position detecting sensor;
- identifying a behavior pattern of the user using the behavior model of the user based on a present time and a present position of the user including the second position information, the behavior pattern being a second time-series representation of the position of the user outside of the building;
- predicting a scheduled arrival time of the user at the building to which the user travels based on the behavior pattern;
- calculating a travel route from the present position to the building, determining a mode of transportation for moving on the travel route, and calculating a movement starting time at which the mode of transportation is to start-moving from the present position to the building on the travel route based on the travel route, the mode of transportation, the present time, and the scheduled arrival time, so that the user can arrive at the building by the scheduled arrival time;
- and
- providing the user with information regarding movement to the building including at least the travel route, the mode of transportation, and the movement starting time.
