  • Patent number: 11580004
    Abstract: An information processor includes an operation history obtaining unit configured to obtain operation histories created user operations at a terminal device; a function identifying unit configured to, based on the obtained operation histories, identify a function performed by the user operations as an operation target function; an operation extracting unit configured to, based on information about the operation target function identified by the function identifying unit, extract predetermined operation histories from the obtained operation histories; an index calculating unit configured to calculate an index which indicates a level of efficiency of the operations for the operation histories extracted by the operation extracting unit; an operation selecting unit configured to, based on the index, select the operation histories having a predetermined efficiency; and an output controller configured to output a guide information based on the operation histories selected by the operation selecting unit.

  • Patent number: 11054267
    Abstract: A guidance apparatus, a guidance method, and a guidance program for safely guiding a user to a point deviated from a proper route when the user has deviated from the proper route. A guidance apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a positional information measurement unit configured to sequentially measure a position of the guidance apparatus; a controller configured to determine whether the position measured by the positional information measurement unit is a position on a proper route and generate first guidance information for guiding a user from a guidance start point, which is a point determined not to be a position on the proper route, to a first deviation point, which is one point determined to be a position on the proper route.

  • Patent number: 10719203
    Abstract: A program is installable in an information processing device. A processor acquires version information for each function provided in a current version of the installed program, the version information indicating that the function is different from a function provided in an older version. A display unit displays a UI element for allowing selection of a function provided in a new version. The display unit displays a UI element corresponding to a function identical to the older version in a first mode and displaying a UI element corresponding to the function different from the older version in a second mode different from the first mode, based on the acquired version information.
