Information terminal, method and apparatus for providing store information, and computer product

A store-information providing apparatus that receives position information indicating a position of a user in a store from an information terminal apparatus that moves together with the user in the store, the store-information providing apparatus comprising:

• a movement information determining unit that determines a moving direction and a moving speed of the user using a plurality of pieces of position information received from the information terminal apparatus;
• a moving-speed determining unit that determines whether the moving speed determined by the movement information determining unit is equal to or faster than a predetermined threshold speed;
• and
• an information transmitting unit that transmits high-speed movement information corresponding to the position information and the moving speed to the information terminal apparatus when the moving speed is determined to be equal to or faster than the predetermined threshold speed, and low-speed movement information corresponding to the position information and the moving speed to the information terminal apparatus when the moving speed is determined to be slower than the predetermined threshold speed.

A method of providing store information by an information terminal apparatus that moves inside a store together with a user, the method comprising:

• detecting position information indicating a position of the user in the store;
• movement information determining including determining a moving direction and a moving speed of the user using a plurality of pieces of position information detected at the detecting;
• moving-speed determining including determining whether the moving speed determined at the movement information determining is equal to or faster than a predetermined threshold speed;
• and
• displaying high-speed movement information corresponding to the position information and the moving direction when the moving speed is determined to be equal to or faster than the predetermined threshold speed, and low-speed movement information corresponding to the position information and the moving direction when the moving speed is determined to be slower than the predetermined threshold speed.
