Situated information (SI) is created by adding situation information, which expresses by 5W1H a situation where an information resource becomes effective, to the information resource, and the SI is registered to an SI memory unit. Then, information resource which has situation information fitting the current situation is selected and presented to a user.

Device and method for processing situated information

A device presents selling information about a virtual region of a selling object in a virtual world. An accepting device accepts a message that represents that a buyer will buy the virtual region of the selling object and information about the buyer. An executing device transfers the right for correlating a processing object with the virtual region of the selling object to the buyer, using at least one of a virtual existence and a virtual region in the virtual world, a virtual existence and a virtual region in another virtual world, and a real existence and a real region in a real world as the processing object. The correlating device correlates identification information of the processing object with identification information of the virtual region of the selling object.

A service database stores a set of area information and a service program for each individual service. When position information of a mobile station and service selection information are received, the service database is searched to retrieve a service program specified by the service selection information and corresponding area information. When the mobile station is present in the area represented by the area information, the service program is executed to provide a service to the mobile station.

Area-dependent service system and method for mobile stations

Schedule data described using a sequence of a predetermined specification based on a set of a place condition and a time condition, and a schedule to be performed based on the place condition and time condition is processed depending on a range of a place information and a range of a time information to be presented to a user, and information corresponding to the schedule is presented to the user.

Apparatus and method for presenting schedule information depending on situation

When a server apparatusaccepts an access of a user, the server apparatussaves both identification information of the user and an access time instant of the user into a fileduring a preselected time period, and also counts identification information related to the same user, which has been saved in this file. Then, when a counted number is larger than, or equal to a certain number, the server apparatusjudges that this user intensively accesses the server apparatuswithin a short time period. Thus, users who access the server apparatusare classified into a user who intensively access this server apparatuswithin a short time period, or another user who does not intensively access this server apparatuswithin a short time period. As to such a user who intensively accesses a server apparatus within a short time period, log information of this user is not recorded, so that loads given to the server apparatus are reduced.
