  • Patent number: 10466055
    Abstract: An information processing device acquires information which corresponds to a location where a user exited a transportation means, and presents the information to the user. The information processing device includes (i) a boarding-and-exit determining section (42) configured to determine whether the user has exited a transportation means and (ii) a spot information presenting section (47) configured to present information which corresponds to a location where the user exited the transportation means, in a case where the boarding-and-exit determining section (42) determines that the user has exited the transportation means.

  • Patent number: 9986381
    Abstract: An information processing device provides information regarding a specific place only in a case where it is highly likely that a user needs the information. A positional relationship information generating section (14) presents information indicating a positional relationship between a current position of the user and the specific place in a case where a predetermined length of time or greater has elapsed between (i) a time point at which a position determining section (11) determines that the user is staying in a specific position and (ii) a time point at which a movement determining section (12) detects the user having moved from the specific position.

  • Publication number: 20170251337
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to measure a current position at appropriate timing and perform a predetermined process at a predetermined position. In a case where it is detected that a portable terminal (100) has entered a region in which the portable terminal (100) can make a radio communication with an access point (50), current positional information of the portable terminal (100) is obtained, and in a case where the portable terminal (100) is at a predetermined position, a predetermined process is performed.

  • Publication number: 20160349902
    Abstract: The information terminal device (1) of the present invention includes an operation determining section (43). The operation determining section (43) releases locking of an operation carried out with respect to an active application in the information terminal device (1), in a case where a holding of the information terminal device (1) by a user is detected while the operation is being locked. This prevents the user from carrying out an unintended operation with respect to an active application, instead of making operations complex.
