## Abstract

An information provision system that allows appropriate information provision suited for a user who is a driver. The information provision system includes a route proposition part that proposes a route based on emotion information detected by an emotion detection part, which detects emotion of a user and spot information associated with the emotion information. The route proposition part sets targeted emotion kinds from a departure spot to a final guiding spot and proposes a route including spots corresponding to the emotion kinds that are set based on the emotion information and the spot information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information provision system comprising:
route proposition means proposing a route based on emotion information detected by emotion detection means detecting emotion of a user and on spot information associated with the emotion information, wherein
the route proposition means sets targeted emotion kinds from a departure spot to a final guiding spot and based on the emotion information and the spot information, proposes a route including a spot corresponding to the set emotion kinds and
based on pieces of emotion information of a plurality of the users, the route proposition means sets a personality kind of each of the plurality of the users and based on emotion kinds of another user, sets the targeted emotion kinds, a personality kind of a targeted user being the same as a personality kind of the other user.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information provision system according to claim 1, comprising:
emotion information record means recording the emotion information, the spot information, and outside information so as to be associated with one another, wherein
based on the outside information associated with the emotion kinds, the route proposition means proposes a route passing through a spot having an outside situation associated with the targeted emotion kinds.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The information provision system according to claim 1, wherein the route proposition means proposes a route passing through a plurality of spots associated with the targeted emotion kinds being different from one another.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The information provision system according to claim 3, wherein a positive flag or a negative flag is set for each of the emotion kinds, and among the spots, a spot with the positive flag being set is set as a final guiding spot.

### Claim 5

A server comprising:
an emotion detection part detecting em ion information of a user;
a route proposition part proposing a route based on spot information associated with the emotion information; and
a communication part performing transmission and reception to and from terminal device of the user, the server receiving the emotion information by the communication part from the terminal device of the user, wherein
the route proposition part sets targeted emotion kinds from a departure spot to a final guiding spot,
based on the emotion information and the spot information, the route proposition part proposes a route including a spot corresponding to the set emotion kinds,
based on pieces of emotion information of a plurality of the users, the route proposition part sets a personality kind of each of the plurality of the users and based on emotion kinds of another user, sets the targeted emotion kinds, a personality kind of a targeted user being the same as a personality kind of the other user, and
in accordance with the emotion kinds, the route proposition part performs the transmission from the communication part to a terminal device of another user being different from the user.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The information provision system according to claim 2, wherein the route proposition means proposes a route passing through a plurality of spots associated with the targeted emotion kinds being different from one another.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The information provision system according to claim 6, wherein a positive flag or a negative flag is set for each of the emotion kinds, and among the spots, a spot with the positive flag being set is set as a final guiding spot.
