  • Publication number: 20240013256
    Abstract: To make it possible to set an appropriate advertisement spot in accordance with a content service. An information providing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store position information associated with a position on a route, and content information associated with the position information, and a control unit configured to provide first content information associated with first position information acquired from a user terminal based on the first position information. The control unit sets an advertisement spot having an attribute associated with an attribute of the first content information provided at a first position at a second position on the route, the second position being a predetermined distance apart from the first position.

  • Publication number: 20230243917
    Abstract: An information processing device (1) includes receiving means (2) configured to receive audio information, first position information of a first user terminal, and first direction information of the first user terminal from the first user terminal, and receive second position information of a second user terminal and second direction information of the second user terminal from the second user terminal. The information processing device (1) further includes output means (3) configured to output the audio information, if a first position indicated by the first position information and a second position indicated by the second position information are within a predetermined distance, and if the second direction information is similar to the first direction information.
