Abstract
In a regional attribute determination method for determining a regional attribute representing an attribute of people gathering in each region, user information including the locations and attributes of a number of users is acquired from a number of portable information terminal devices used by the number of users, the acquired user information of the number of users is stored in a user information storage part, and the regional attribute is determined on the basis of the user information of the number of users stored in the user information storage part.
Claims20
A portable terminal apparatus comprising:
- a display device;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate with the display device and the input device to:
- (a) determine location information by measuring a location of the portable information terminal device, the location information being indicative of an altitude of the portable information terminal device;
- (b) acquire registered information based on the measured location, the registered information including an effective area, the effective area being increased in response to the altitude of the portable information terminal being increased;
- and
- (c) display an augmented reality image which includes the acquired registered information.
A method of operating a portable terminal apparatus including instructions, the method comprising:
- (a) causing a processor to execute the instructions to determine location information by measuring a location of the portable information terminal device, the location information being indicative of an altitude of the portable information terminal device;
- (b) causing the processor to execute the instructions to acquire registered information based on the measured location, the registered information including an effective area, the effective area being increased in response to the altitude of the portable information terminal being increased;
- and
- (c) causing a display device to display an augmented reality image which includes the acquired registered information.
A machine readable media storing instructions structured to cause a portable terminal apparatus to:
- (a) determine location information by measuring a location of the portable information terminal device, the location information being indicative of an altitude of the portable information terminal device;
- (b) acquire registered information based on the measured location, the registered information including an effective area, the effective area being increased in response to the altitude of the portable information terminal being increased;
- and
- (c) display an augmented reality image which includes the acquired registered information.
