Information processing apparatus, behavior prediction display method, and computer program therefor

A device, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• send a first location of a user to at least one server;
• receive, from the at least one server, first predicted information of the user, the first predicted information comprising a first predicted destination, a probability that the user will select the first predicted destination and an expected time of arrival at the first predicted destination;
• control a display unit to display a map, the display unit having, within a display range, the first predicted destination, the probability that the user will select the first predicted destination and the expected time of arrival at the first predicted destination;
• send a second location of the user to the at least one server;
• receive, from the at least one server, at least one second predicted destination different from the first predicted destination and having been determined based at least in part on historical information regarding the user and the second location of the user;
• and
• determine whether the at least one second predicted destination is within the display range of the map, and, if the at least one second predicted destination is not within the display range of the map, automatically change the display range of the map, based on the at least one second predicted destination and based on the determination that the at least one second predicted destination is not within the display range of the map, such that the at least one second predicted destination and the first predicted destination are within the display range of the map.

A method of generating and displaying predicted information of a user, the method comprising:

• using at least one processor:
• receiving, from at least one server, first predicted information of the user, the first predicted information comprising a first predicted destination, a probability that the user will select the first predicted destination and an expected time of arrival at the first predicted destination;
• generating display information of a map, the display information having, within a display range, the first predicted destination, the probability that the user will select the first predicted destination and the expected time of arrival at the first predicted destination;
• generating second predicted information of the user based on a change in the user's behavior and based at least in part on historical information regarding the user, the second predicted information comprising a second predicted destination different from the first predicted destination, a probability that the user will select the second predicted destination, and an expected time of arrival at the second predicted destination;
• determining that the second predicted destination is not within the display range of the map;
• and
• automatically changing the display range of the map, based on the second predicted information and based on the determination that the second predicted information is not within the display range of the map, such that the first predicted destination and the second predicted destination are both within the display range of the map.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions, which, when executed, perform a method of displaying predicted information of a user, the method comprising:

• receiving, from at least one server, first predicted information of the user, the first predicted information comprising a first predicted destination, a probability that the user will select the first predicted destination, and an expected time of arrival at the first predicted destination;
• generating display information of a map, the display information having, within a display range, the first predicted destination, the probability that the user will select the first predicted destination and the expected time of arrival at the first predicted destination;
• receiving, from the at least one server, at least one second predicted destination, the at least one second predicted destination having been determined based at least in part on historical information regarding the user, and being different from the first predicted destination;
• determining that the at least one second predicted destination is not within the display range of the map;
• and
• automatically changing the display range of the map, based on the second predicted destination and based on the determination that the second predicted destination is not within the display range of the map, such that the first predicted destination and the at least one second predicted destination are within the display range of the map.
