FIG. 8 shows a configuration example of the task model management table 51a stored in the task model storage unit 51.
As shown in FIG. 8, the task model management table 51a is configured by associating information of items of “task ID”, “task name”, “parent task ID”, “preparation”, and “execution”. Yes.
A task model is composed of a group of tasks. Specifically, the task model is expressed by a plurality of task nodes identified by “task ID” being hierarchical, and the hierarchical structure is referred to by “parent task ID”. It is expressed by.

  For example, “task ID” = 1002, 1003, “move to theme park” and “enter theme park” refer to “1001” as “parent task ID”, That is, the task “go to the theme park and play” is referred to. Here, the reference destination task “1001” (“go to the theme park and play”) is the upper task, and the task that refers to the task “1001” is the subtask (lower task). These upper tasks and subtasks constitute a task node having a hierarchical structure.

  Further, there are two types of tasks as tasks (subtasks) constituting the task model. The first is a task in which the subtask is a “preparation phase” for the upper task. For example, subtasks such as “Examine theme park attractions” and “Purchase advance ticket” are tasks in the preparation stage for realizing “Go to theme park and play”, which is a higher-level task (referenced task) It becomes. The second is a task in which the subtask is an “execution phase” for the upper task. For example, tasks such as “go to the theme park” and “enter the theme park” are execution stages (realization stage) for realizing “go to the theme park and play”, which is a higher-level task (reference destination task). Or the task in the immediately preceding stage). These task types are identified by using the items “preparation” and “execution” in the task model management table 51a (“0” is not applicable and “1” is applicable).

  There are various methods for searching for tasks from the task model management table 51a (information matching method). In the present embodiment, for example, the noun ("planned name") is extracted by performing morphological analysis on the schedule information notified from the mobile terminal 10 (schedule information received in step S12), and the extracted noun and task model management The information of “task name” in the table 51a is collated. In this case, the notation and abstraction are often different between the “scheduled name” and the “task name”. Therefore, by using the thesaurus dictionary 50 (similar word dictionary), the notation fluctuation can be absorbed and the abstraction can be achieved. Matching is possible even at different degrees. For example, in a thesaurus dictionary, the relationship between a higher word and a lower word according to similar words and abstraction levels is shown.

  As described above, the task model management table 51a matches the "task name" information with the schedule information ("schedule name"), and selects the task (task model (especially the upper task)) corresponding to the schedule information. To do. In addition, a plurality of task candidates may be selected for the schedule information by the collation. In this case, the task candidate is presented and confirmed to the user (information indicating that is sent from the information management server to the mobile terminal 10 or the information guidance display device 20), and the user is notified accordingly. The matching process between the information (information returned from the mobile terminal 10 or the information guidance display device 20 to the information management server 40, for example, schedule information) and the task in the task model management table 51a is performed again, and one task (Task model (especially high-level task)) is selected.

Here, the information provided by executing the subtask is information at the execution stage or the preparation stage, and the information required at the execution stage or the preparation stage is generally abstracted in order to realize the schedule indicated by the schedule information. Information.
Subsequently, in step S14, the schedule information registration unit 42 registers the information obtained in the process of step S13 in the schedule information management table 53a of the schedule information storage unit 53.

FIG. 9 shows a configuration example of the schedule information management table 53a.
As shown in FIG. 9, the schedule information management table 53a is configured by associating information of each item of “terminal ID”, “schedule name”, “date / time”, and “task ID”. Corresponding to each of these items “terminal ID” (received in step S12), “schedule information”, “date and time”, and “task ID”, the information obtained by the above processing is registered. Here, the “date and time” information indicates the date and time when the schedule is executed.

FIG. 10 shows a processing procedure of the information distribution server 40. This process is a service information distribution process performed based on the schedule information. The processing of each component of the information distribution server 40 will be described along this processing procedure.
As shown in FIG. 10, first, in step S <b> 21, the data receiving unit 41 receives a terminal ID transmitted from the information guidance display device 20.

Subsequently, in step S22, the data receiving unit 41 (function of the terminal position receiving unit) receives the display ID transmitted from the information guidance display device 20.
Subsequently, in step S23, the schedule information storage unit 53 determines whether or not the terminal ID received in step S21 is registered in the schedule information management table 53a (schedule information management DB (database)). Specifically, the schedule information storage unit 53 refers to the schedule information management table 53a and determines whether or not a matching item is stored in the schedule information management table 53a using the terminal ID as a search key.

If no schedule information for the terminal ID is registered in the schedule information management table 53a, the process proceeds to step S24, and one or more schedule information for the terminal ID is registered in the schedule information management table 53a. If yes, the process proceeds to step S29.
In step S24, the display position information storage unit 54 refers to the display position information management table 54a (display position information management DB), and reads position information corresponding to the display ID transmitted together with the terminal ID.

FIG. 11 shows a configuration example of the display position information management table 54 a stored in the display position information storage unit 54.
As shown in FIG. 11, the display position information management table 54 a is configured by associating information of each item of “display ID” and “position”. Here, the “position” information is coordinate information indicating the position of the information guidance display device corresponding to the display ID.

Subsequently, in step S25, the map data acquisition unit 48 reads the map information stored in the map data storage unit (for example, map DB) 49 based on the position information of the information guidance display device read in step S24. Here, the map information is information including an area map (peripheral area map) centered on the position of the information guidance display device.
Subsequently, in step S26, the facility information storage unit 55 refers to the facility information management table 55a (facility information management DB) and reads all the facility information included in the area map read in step S25.

FIG. 12 shows a configuration example of the facility information management table 55 a stored in the facility information storage unit 55.
As shown in FIG. 12, the facility information management table 55a is composed of information about facilities, and is configured by associating information of each item of “facility ID”, “facility name”, and [position]. The “facility ID” information is information for uniquely identifying a facility in the area. The “facility name” information indicates the facility name. The “position” information indicates the position in the specific area of the corresponding facility. In this embodiment, the information is expressed by the coordinate axes in the area such as “100025, 200013”, and the origin of the X axis and the Y axis. The position of the facility is shown as a relative position.

Subsequently, in step S27, the output image generation unit 46 generates an output image (image data) obtained by synthesizing the area map read in step S25 and the facility information (particularly the facility name) read in step S26.
Subsequently, in step S28, the output image transmission unit 47 transmits the output image generated in step S27 to the information guidance display device 20.

On the other hand, in step S29 that proceeds when it is determined in step S23 that one or more schedule information for the terminal ID is registered in the schedule information management table 53a, the schedule information storage unit 53 corresponds to the terminal ID. One schedule information is read from the schedule information management table 53a.
For example, in the case where the information as shown in FIG. 9 is registered in the schedule information management table 53a, if the “terminal ID” is “1001”, the schedule information corresponding to “terminal ID” is “scheduled landmark”. “Tokyo xxx theme park”, “date and time” “12 Jul 2006” and “task ID” “0001” are read.

Subsequently, in step S30, the task / phase determination unit 44 reads the task ID (parent task ID) corresponding to the schedule information read in step S29 from the schedule information management table 53a, and reads the read task ID (parent task). The task (task model) corresponding to (ID) is read from the task model management table 51a.
Subsequently, in step S31, the task / phase determination unit 44 compares the current time (current date and time) with the date and time included in the schedule information ("date and time" read in step S29). Here, if the current time and the date of the schedule information are the same, the task / phase determination unit 44 determines that a task to be in the execution phase is necessary, and proceeds to step S32, where the current time and the date of the schedule information are determined. If they are different (when the current date and time is before the previous day of the schedule information), it is determined that a task for the preparation phase is necessary, and the process proceeds to step S33.

Since there are various methods for determining the preparation phase and the execution phase, the determination is not limited to the determination of the preparation phase and the execution phase by the above method.
In step S32, the task / phase determination unit 44 selects a task to be an execution phase from the task nodes included in the task (task model) read in step S30. That is, a task (specifically, “task ID”) whose “execution” item is “1” is selected from task nodes (subtasks) with a common parent task. Then, the process proceeds to step S34.

  In step S33, the task / phase determination unit 44 selects a task to be an execution phase from task nodes included in the task (task model) read in step S30. That is, a task (specifically, “task ID”) whose “preparation” item is “1” is selected from task nodes (subtasks) with a common parent task. Then, the process proceeds to step S34.

Here, a method for selecting the execution phase and the preparation phase will be described with an example.
For example, if the “mobile ID” of the mobile terminal 10 from which the schedule information is acquired is “1001”, the schedule information management table 53a is referred to and the schedule information is “Tokyo xxx theme” as the schedule information. “1001” is read as “park” and “task ID” (step S29).

  Here, “1001” of “task ID” is associated with the task “go to the theme park and play” in the task model management table 51a. And in the task “Go to the theme park and play”, the subtasks are “Move to the theme park”, “Enter the theme park”, “Experience the attraction”, “Examine the attractions of the theme park” and “ "Purchase advance ticket" is associated ("Parent task ID" is common to "1001"). These subtasks are selected by flags in the items “execution” and “preparation”.

  In such a case, when the current date and time is “July 12, 2006”, the current date and time is the task “go to the theme park” in the schedule information management table 53a (“task ID” is “1001”).
