Patent number: 11809472Abstract: A service providing system includes a terminal apparatus including first circuitry configured to display a topic for which an input of information is received from a user, and an information processing apparatus including second circuitry configured to collect information related to the topic from the terminal apparatus. The second circuitry of the information processing apparatus, based on topic data including a plurality of topics for which collection of information input by the user is not completed, determines, based on a content or a result of a first topic, a second topic included in the topic data as a topic to be presented to the user. The second circuitry of the information processing apparatus transmits a message including the second topic to the terminal apparatus. The first circuitry of the terminal apparatus receives the message from the information processing apparatus. The first circuitry of the terminal apparatus displays the message on a screen.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Mayumi Matsubara, Shintaro Kawamura, Atsuko Shimada, Shohichi Naitoh, Yuriko Yamaya, Shinya Iguchi
