Benefit distribution apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A benefit distribution method comprising:

• acquiring a time at which a user who is scheduled to board an aircraft has arrived at an airport;
• calculating a length of stay based on the time at which the user has arrived at the airport and a scheduled boarding time of the aircraft on which the user is scheduled to board and generating length of stay information including the length of stay;
• estimating a behavioral characteristic of the user based on the generated length of stay information and a behavioral characteristic table in which length of stay information and behavioral characteristics of a user at the airport are stored in association with each other;
• referring to a benefit information table in which the behavioral characteristic and one or more pieces of benefit information to be distributed are stored in association with each other and determining the benefit information to be distributed to the user based on the estimated behavioral characteristic;
• and
• transmitting the determined benefit information to a terminal apparatus carried by the user.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to:

• acquire a time at which a user who is scheduled to board an aircraft has arrived at an airport;
• calculate a length of stay based on the time at which the user has arrived at the airport and a scheduled boarding time of the aircraft on which the user is scheduled to board and generate length of stay information including the length of stay;
• estimate a behavioral characteristic of the user based on the generated length of stay information and a behavioral characteristic table in which length of stay information and behavioral characteristics of a user at the airport are stored in association with each other;
• refer to a benefit information table in which the behavioral characteristic and one or more pieces of benefit information to be distributed are stored in association with each other and determine the benefit information to be distributed to the user based on the estimated behavioral characteristic;
• and
• transmit the determined benefit information to a terminal apparatus carried by the user.
