DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING DESTINATION

摘要

A destination prediction device for more accurately predicting a destination. The destination prediction device for predicting a destination of a mobile body has a stay characteristic accumulation section (103) for accumulating stay characteristic information on a waypoint, the information representing a period in which the mobile body is highly probable to stay at the waypoint; a movement time calculation section (104) for calculating movement time when the mobile body moves from a current position acquired by a current waypoint acquisition section (101) to the waypoint; and a destination prediction section (106) for obtaining an estimate time of arrival based on a current time acquired by a current time acquisition section (105) and the calculated movement time and predicting the waypoint to be a destination only when the obtained estimated time of arrival and the period represented by the stay characteristic information are temporally close to each other.
