An information providing device for a trip to multiple users including a first user and a second user is provided. The information providing device includes circuitry configured to determine a destination of the trip based on a degree of interest of the first user, provide the second user with a first trip proposal to the destination when a degree of interest of the second user in the destination is greater than or equal to a predetermined degree-of-interest threshold value, and provide the second user with a second trip proposal to the destination when the degree of interest of the second user in the destination is less than the predetermined degree-of-interest threshold value. In the second trip proposal, a degree of recommendation of the trip proposal is increased from the first trip proposal.

Information providing device and information providing method and non-transitory computer readable medium therefor

An information processor includes a generation section that generates a specified character string on the basis of at least one of voice information corresponding to a content of speech detected by a voice detection section and vehicle information acquired from a vehicle. With this configuration, a user can input the specified character string, which is a hashtag, without an operation. Thus, compared to the related art in which the hashtag is generated on the basis of the operation (manual input) by the user, a burden on the user can significantly be reduced, and an input error can be prevented.

Information processor and information processing program

A server device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire vehicle information including at least positional information of a vehicle and related time information from a plurality of vehicles; and a congestion identification unit configured to acquire a speed of the vehicle obtained from the vehicle information and information of a road of multiple lanes in one direction based on map information, and identify that there are a congested lane and a non-congested lane among the multiple lanes in one direction based on speeds of a plurality of vehicles traveling on the same road of the multiple lanes in one direction.

Server device and congestion identification method

A server apparatus includes circuitry configured to acquire utterance information on a traveling location point, the utterance information being provided by occupants of a plurality of vehicles and derive a reason for danger near the traveling location point based on the acquired utterance information.

Server apparatus, information processing method, storage medium and method of providing danger information

An information providing device includes a receiving unit configured to receive identification information of a first user and a character string from a terminal, an extracting unit configured to extract place information associated with the character string from action histories of a plurality of persons, a first identification unit configured to identify a second user that the first user follows by consulting information that represents a relationship between users on social media, an adjusting unit configured to, of the extracted place information, raise a priority of the place information contained in the action history of the second user as compared to the other place information; and a sending unit configured to send the extracted place information and the priority of the place information to the terminal.

Raising priorities of information based on social media relationships

A navigation system which performs route guidance from a vehicle departure location to a target location. After a vehicle has arrived at the target location and completed the route guidance, if the vehicle has moved away from the target location and thereafter has approached the target location again, the navigation system: determines that the vehicle is disorientated and unable to arrive at the target location; and resumes the route guidance.

Navigation system

A circuitry estimates a degree of interest in each of destination candidates for each of subject users included in a user group determined based on degree of affinity among multiple users. The circuitry sets a location in which the degree of interest of a first one of the subject users is greater than or equal to a predetermined degree-of-interest threshold value as a first destination. The circuitry provides a second one of the subject users with a first trip proposal when the degree of interest of the second user in the first destination is greater than or equal to the predetermined degree-of-interest threshold value. The circuitry provides the second user with a second trip proposal when the degree of interest of the second user in the first destination is less than the predetermined degree-of-interest threshold value.

A parking lot evaluation apparatus includes: an acquisition device configured to acquire information on an utterance made by a driver about a parking lot in a vehicle; and a deriving device configured to derive a parking difficulty level indicative of parking difficulty at the parking lot, based on the acquired utterance information about the parking lot. The acquisition device acquires, as an utterance about the parking lot, an utterance of the driver about the parking lot at the time when the vehicle is placed in the parking lot or around the parking lot.

Parking lot evaluation apparatus, parking lot information supply method, and data structure of parking lot information

A burden estimation device includes a state space configuration unit, a history learning unit acquiring from the user and storing in a storage unit data related to the burden on the user when the user travels to the destination along the travel route, an individual burden estimation unit evaluating a total travel burden and estimating an individual burden that is the burden on the user in correspondence with each of the states included in the state space through reinforcement learning that sets the total travel burden as a reward, and a total travel burden estimation unit estimating the total travel burden corresponding to an unknown travel route based on the estimated individual burden if the unknown travel route is set and the individual burden has already been estimated for at least some of the states defined in correspondence with the unknown travel route.

Burden estimation device and burden estimation method

A proposal subject determination unit selects, from multiple users, a combination of users of which the degree of affinity is a first degree-of-affinity threshold value or greater and determines that the users included in the selected combination are subject to the trip proposal. A proposal execution unit sets a location in which a degree of interest of a first one of the subject users is greater than or equal to a predetermined degree-of-interest threshold value as a destination of the trip proposal and provides the trip proposal having the set location as a destination to the subject users. The proposal execution unit gives a first trip proposal or a second trip proposal to a second user in accordance with a degree of affinity between the subject users, a degree of interest of the second user in the set location, and a trip preference of the second user.
