  • Publication number: 20210073248
    Abstract: In order to improve the accuracy of a facility search, first adding means (201) of a facility search system (S) adds, to a facility, area information of a name of an area when the area information indicating the area where the facility is located therein is input. Second adding means (204) adds the area information to another facility to which the area information is not added when a position of the another facility is included in a region that is based on positions of a group of facilities to which the same area information is added. Facility search means (206) executes a facility search based on the area information added to each facility.

  • Patent number: 10776835
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit that is communicable with a user terminal. A storage unit stores reservation information relating to a use reservation for a facility of a user having the user terminal, the reservation information including an estimated facility use start time and an estimated facility use end time. A control unit controls the communication unit to receive, from the user terminal, a posting request of a review of the user about the facility, the posting request including text information or image information having a time stamp indicating recording date and time. The control unit controls, based on the reservation information, the posting request to prevent posting of a review including text information or image information having a time stamp indicating a point of time outside a period of time from the estimated facility use start time to the estimated facility use end time.

  • Publication number: 20200175446
    Abstract: A dispatch management system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a management server 10 and a user terminal 30 that is communicably connected to the server 10 via a communication network 20, and provides a user who operates the user terminal 30 with a taxi dispatch service in which a taxi is dispatched in response to a dispatch request. In this system 1, since the recommended boarding location is set on the basis of the user's current location, the setting of an appropriate boarding location is promoted and, furthermore, a first object for specifying the boarding location is initially displayed at the user's current location in the map display area and is moved along with an animation effect showing the path from the user's current location to the recommended boarding location, and this allows the user to easily ascertain the boarding location that is being recommended.

  • Publication number: 20190318521
    Abstract: Provided is a page generation system including at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive, from a poster terminal, each of a plurality of pieces of content to which classification information on a classification is assigned. The at least one processor is configured to determine a plurality of classifications to be displayed on a page of a poster based on the classification information assigned to each of the plurality of pieces of content. The at least one processor is configured to generate the page on which each of the determined plurality of classifications is allowed to be selected, and on which, when anyone of the determined plurality of classifications is selected, content of the selected one of the determined plurality of classifications is displayed.

  • Patent number: 9293022
    Abstract: The present invention provides a detecting apparatus for detecting an abnormal state such as a drop or fall of a person to be observed from a captured image in a real-time manner and realizing improvement in precision of the detection while eliminating the influence of a background image and noise. The detecting apparatus calculates a motion vector of each of blocks of an image of video data, and extracts a block group in which the size of the motion vector exceeds a predetermined value. The detecting apparatus forms a group from adjacent blocks. For example, in descending order of the area of the blocks, the detecting apparatus calculates characteristic amounts such as an average vector, a variance, and a rotation direction component of motion blocks included in the blocks. The detecting apparatus detects that the person to be observed is in an abnormal state such as a drop or fall on the basis of the characteristic amounts of the groups, and informs an external apparatus or the like of the detection result.
