Control method and information processing device

A control method implemented by a computer, the control method comprising:

• storing schedule information including an execution order of activities to be conducted by a user;
• obtaining geofence information including positional information and time information, the positional information indicating a departure place of each activity of the activities, the time information indicating time to transmit an advance notice regarding expectation of arrival at a first departure place of a first activity next to a second activity to a first device of a business operator providing the first activity, the first and second activities being from among the activities;
• specifying a next activity to be conducted by the user based on the schedule information;
• generating, based on time information in the geofence information corresponding to the next activity and speed information indicating a speed at which the user moves, distance information corresponding to the time information;
• and
• transmitting, to a device of a next business operator providing the next activity, the advance notice regarding expectation of arrival of the user at a next departure place of the next activity based on entering of the user into a geofence defined by the positional information of the geofence information corresponding to the next activity and the distance information.

An information processing device comprising:

• a memory storing schedule information including an execution order of activities to be conducted by a user;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• obtain geofence information including positional information and time information, the positional information indicating a departure place of each activity of the activities, the time information indicating time to transmit an advance notice regarding expectation of arrival at a first departure place of a first activity next to a second activity to a first device of a business operator providing the first activity, the first and second activities being from among the activities,
• specify a next activity to be conducted by the user based on the schedule information,
• generate, based on time information in the geofence information corresponding to the next activity and speed information indicating a speed at which the user moves, distance information corresponding to the time information, and
• transmit, to a device of a next business operator providing the next activity, the advance notice regarding expectation of arrival of the user at a next departure place of the next activity based on entering of the user into a geofence defined by the positional information of the geofence information corresponding to the next activity and the distance information.
