In-facility information provision system and in-facility information provision method

A server for an in-facility information provision system which is a server for controlling an in-facility information provision system that generates and outputs information for unspecified users who visit facilities, comprising:

• a unit for managing plural spatial recognition nodes respectively installed in plural locations of the facilities and respectively having recognition unit including a sensor;
• a unit for receiving the result of recognition related to a specific user in the facilities recognized by the spatial recognition node and grasping a situation of the user;
• and
• a unit for displaying path information for providing to the user based on the result of the recognition when the user approaches any information display installed in the facilities.

Information processing equipment provided to plural spatial recognition nodes respectively installed in plural locations of facilities and respectively having recognition unit including a sensor, comprising:

• profile information in which recognition operation corresponding to each environment of a user and a system response are defined as a profile beforehand on the presumption of plural environments where the user is put in the facilities;
• a unit for grasping the specific user in the facilities based on information acquired by the sensor and the profile information and recognizing his/her behavior;
• and
• a unit for determining response operation to the user based on the result of recognition.

An in-facility information provision method of generating and outputting information for unspecified users who visit facilities by an information processing system, wherein:

• a plurality of spatial recognition nodes are installed in the facilities and the facilities have recognition unit including a sensor arranged in each spatial recognition node and information processing equipment;
• profile information in which recognition operation corresponding to each environment of a user and a system response are defined as a profile beforehand on the presumption of plural environments where the user is put in the facilities is provided;
• the specific user in the facilities is grasped based on information acquired by the sensor and the profile information;
• the behavior of the specific user is recognized;
• response operation to the specific user is determined based on the result of recognition;
• and
• information for the user corresponding to the response operation is generated and output.

A computer program for generating and outputting information for unspecified users who visit facilities in an in-facility information provision system in which plural spatial recognition nodes are respectively installed in plural locations of the facilities and each spatial recognition node has recognition unit including a sensor and information processing equipment including a computer, wherein:

• the in-facility information provision system is provided with profile information in which recognition operation corresponding to each environment of a user and a system response are defined as a profile beforehand on the presumption of plural environments where the user is put in the facilities;
• and
• the computer program instructs the computer to realize:
• a function for grasping the specific user in the facilities based on information acquired by the sensor and the profile information and recognizing his/her behavior;
• a function for determining response operation to the user based on the result of recognition;
• and
• a function for generating and outputting information for the user corresponding to the response operation.
