To enable an appropriate change of a path according to a situation of a user and a situation of a target store and the path without having a special terminal when the user of a facility utilizes the target store and an appropriate guidance, spatial recognition nodes respectively provided with a sensor and information processing equipment are installed in each location in the facility and connected via a network. The nodes recognize the position, the action and the behavior of a user of the facility. A server controlling a system manages the recognition result and constantly grasps the situation of the user. The situation of the user is recognized by the node installed at a destination and on a path, and notified to the server. The server displays appropriate path information based on the recognition result on any of plural information displays installed in the facility when the user approaches.

A network operating information setting system includes a design device, an automatic setting device and a network device. The design device has the function of producing a command chain of information which an operator designs using a GUI (Graphical User Interface) in order to store the command chain thus produced in a storage medium such as a floppy disk. In addition, the design device also has the function of reading out data from the storage medium in order to display the data thus read out. The automatic setting device has the function of reading out the command chain from the storage medium in order to transmit the command chain thus read out to the network device through a data transmission line. In this connection, an inverse command chain may be produced which is used to restore the network operating information to the original information in the network device. In addition, the automatic setting device has both the function of reading out data from the network device and the function of producing production commands for the data thus read out from the data.
