An information processing device includes a control unit configured to acquire information of a position and information of a travelable range of a vehicle which travels using a battery as an energy source, to extract a charging station located within the travelable range from the position out of a plurality of charging stations, to extract a spot which is able to be visited in a state in which the vehicle stops in the extracted charging station out of a plurality of spots, and to transmit information of the extracted spot along with information of the extracted charging station.

Information processing device, information processing system, program, and information processing method

An information processing device has a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit exchanges information with a terminal device. The control unit controls the communication unit in such a manner as to transmit, to the terminal device, an advertisement associated with a composition category to which a composition of occupants in the moving object based on occupant composition information belongs, when receiving the occupant composition information from the terminal device. The occupant composition information regards the composition of the occupants in the moving object.

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 processing device includes a processor. The processor is configured to: receive an input of a question; hold a response, when data required to output response content in response to the question is insufficient; and output, when insufficient data is collected while the response is being held, an announcement that the response is made and the response content.

Information processing device and information processing method

An information providing method includes: causing a first agent mounted in a first vehicle to specify information on driving of a first driver of the first vehicle; requesting, based on the information, an external device to provide information for driving support; and notifying the first driver of information indicating a deriving process of driving support information, the deriving process being acquired from the external device, and the driving support information.

Information providing method and information providing system

An information providing system includes a detection information acquisition unit configured to acquire a detection result of a vehicle sensor, an occupant information database configured to hold occupant information generated based on a previous detection result of the vehicle sensor, and an output controller configured to, when information relating to an occupant acquired from the detection result of the vehicle sensor conforms to the occupant information held in the occupant information database, output provided information according to the occupant information to the occupant.

Information providing system and information providing method

In an information provision device, an estimator estimates an arrival time of each user at a meeting place where users meet up, based on transportation of the user. Based on the arrival time estimated by the estimator, a determination unit determines a notification target user to be notified of guidance regarding facilities around the meeting place. A notification unit notifies, of the guidance, the notification target user determined by the determination unit.

In a vehicle-mounted terminal device configured to be mounted on a vehicle and capable of communicating with a server device, a communication unit transmits identification information of a driver of the vehicle to the server device and receives personal setting information, indicating a setting state of a vehicle-mounted apparatus, transmitted from the server device and related to the identification information of the driver. A setting unit makes setting of a vehicle-mounted apparatus on the vehicle based on the personal setting information received at the communication unit. When the authentication of the driver is completed and when a power supply of the vehicle is turned on, the communication unit receives personal setting information for a vehicle-mounted apparatus, transmitted from the server device and related to the identification information of the driver.

Vehicle-mounted terminal device, server device, and terminal device

An action support device includes a controller and a notification unit. The controller is configured to acquire action information of a user, the action information being extracted based on an action history of the user, and including a route having a start point and an end point, and a departure time at the start point, acquire traffic information, and determine whether or not a road obstacle or an operation obstacle indicated in the traffic information acquired before the departure time occurs on the route indicated in the action information. The notification unit is configured to, when the controller determines that the road obstacle or the operation obstacle indicated in the traffic information acquired before the departure time occurs on the route indicated in the action information, notify the user of information relating to the traffic information.

In an information processing apparatus, an acquisition unit acquires speech information on a user's speech. A derivation unit, derives a level of understanding of an intent of the user's speech based on the speech information acquired by the acquisition unit. A display control unit causes a display unit to display an image corresponding to the level of understanding derived by the derivation unit. An output unit outputs a response to the user's speech based on the speech information acquired by the acquisition unit.

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.
