Information provision system, information provision method, program, and server device

摘要

When continuous user biometric information is transmitted to a server device continuously from a handheld device used by a user, the server device can be caused to receive a required measurement value efficiently at a required time, select information desired by the user on the basis of the measurement value and user peripheral information, and provide the user with the information reliably, without imposing excessive communication charges and the like. A server device 140 is used together with a handheld device 110 that transmits the user peripheral information to the server device and receives the information transmitted from the server device. After determining that a fluctuation has occurred in the user peripheral information transmitted from the handheld device 110, the server device 140 performs either processing for calculating a predicted value of future user biometric information or processing for receiving the predicted value of the future user biometric information, selects information on the basis of the predicted value and the user peripheral information, and transmits the selected information to the handheld device 110.

主权项

1. An information provision system comprising
a handheld device and a server device comprising a biometric information storage unit,wherein the handheld device transmits user peripheral information to the server device and receives information transmitted from the server device, andwherein
the server device processes continuously generated user biometric information by measuring the user biometric information continuously from the handheld device, storing the measured biometric information in the biometric information storage unit and calculating a predicted value of future user biometric information from the stored and continuously received user biometric information after determining that a fluctuation has occurred in the user peripheral information, or performs processing for receiving a predicted value of the future user biometric information from the handheld device after determining that a fluctuation has occurred in the user peripheral information, and on the basis of the predicted value of each of the future user biometric information and the user peripheral information, the server device selects information and transmits the selected information to the handheld device,wherein
a fluctuation pattern specifying unit stores a program that enables processing for specifying a fluctuation pattern in the past user biometric information that matches a fluctuation pattern in recent user biometric information of the user from the user-specific biometric information profile stored in a profile generation storage unit; a biometric information prediction unit stores a program for calculating a predicted value of future user biometric information by adding a fluctuation value of the future user biometric information, which is associated with the fluctuation pattern in the past user biometric information specified by the fluctuation pattern specifying unit, to current user biometric information,wherein
the user biometric information determination unit stores a program for determining whether or not a divergence of at least a predetermined width exists between the user biometric information of the handheld device and the user biometric information stored in the user biometric information storage unit of the server device and, when the divergence of at least the predetermined width exists, executing programs stored respectively in the fluctuation pattern specifying unit and the biometric information prediction unit to calculate the predicted value of the future user biometric information, and transmitting required information to the handheld device on the basis of the predicted value.
