Guide display control apparatus, guide display control method, and route guiding system

A guide display control apparatus comprising:

• detection signal obtaining circuitry to obtain a detection signal including identification information of a facility user who has entered a monitoring area from an approach detector that detects entry of the facility user into the monitoring area;
• destination obtaining circuitry to obtain a plurality of destinations associated with the identification information included in the detection signal obtained by the detection signal obtaining circuitry;
• travel time predicting circuitry to search for routes from the monitoring area to the respective destinations obtained by the destination obtaining circuitry, and predict a travel time of the facility user from the monitoring area to each of the destinations on a basis of a search result of the routes;
• and
• display data generating circuitry to generate display data to display a guide diagram including arrows each indicating a corresponding one of the routes to the respective destinations searched for by the travel time predicting circuitry and the travel time to each of the destinations predicted by the travel time predicting circuitry, wherein
• the travel time predicting circuitry
• calculates, when each of the destinations obtained by the destination obtaining circuitry is a destination with a limited use time, a remaining time until a time limit for use of a corresponding one of the destinations instead of predicting the travel time, and
• the display data generating circuitry
• generates display data to display a guide diagram including the arrows each indicating the corresponding one of the routes to the respective destinations searched for by the travel time predicting circuitry and the remaining time for each of the destinations calculated by the travel time predicting circuitry.
