Abstract

A presentation control device is provided for guiding a visitor in a specific area to an appropriate point in the area. The presentation control device ( 100 ) includes an acquisition unit ( 130 ) that acquires a photographed image photographed by a predetermined photographing device, an authentication control unit ( 140 ) that extracts a face area or facial feature information from the photographed image and causes an authentication device ( 200 ) to perform face authentication, a specification unit ( 160 ) that specifies presentation information to be presented for guiding to a predetermined point, based on a movement history and an action history being associated with a user ID of a user who succeeds in the face authentication, and an output unit ( 170 ) that transmits the presentation information specified by the specifying unit ( 160 ) to a predetermined display terminal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A presentation control device comprising:
at least one memory storing:
instructions;
a movement history and an action history of a user;
presentation information to be presented for guiding a user to a point different from a current point; and
a presentation condition based on the movement history and the action history in association with each other; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
acquire a photographed image photographed by a predetermined photographing device;
extract a face area or facial feature information from the photographed image and causing an authentication device to perform face authentication;
register, in the at least one memory, a user ID, the movement history, and the action history in association with one another;
acquire, from the at least one memory, the movement history and the action history associated with the user ID of the user who succeeds in the face authentication, and the presentation information to be presented for guiding the user to a predetermined point in which the movement history and the action history satisfy the presentation condition stored in the at least one memory; and
transmit the presentation information to a predetermined display terminal.

2. The presentation control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the presentation condition further includes the current position of the user, and
the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:
acquire position information of the photographing device, and
specify the presentation information satisfying the presentation condition by setting the acquired position information as the current position of the user who succeeds in the face authentication.

3. The presentation control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory is configured to store a degree of congestion at each point, and
the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:
specify the presentation information relating to a point having a lower degree of congestion when there are a plurality of points satisfying the presentation condition stored in the at least one memory.

4. The presentation control device according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:
analyze the photographed image;
determine a degree of congestion at a photographing point; and
register the determined degree of congestion in the at least one memory.

5. The presentation control device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one memory stores the presentation condition based on a time period.

6. The presentation control device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one memory stores the presentation condition based on weather.

7. The presentation control device according to claim 1 , wherein the movement history further includes information on a time at which the user passes through each point.

8. The presentation control device according to claim 1 , wherein the action history further includes information on a time at which the user acts.

9. A presentation control method performed by a computer and comprising:
storing, in at least one memory:
a movement history and an action history of a user;
presentation information to be presented for guiding a user to a point different from a current point; and
a presentation condition based on the movement history and the action history in association with each other; and

acquiring a photographed image photographed by a predetermined photographing device;
extracting a face area or facial feature information from the photographed image and causing an authentication device to perform face authentication;
registering, in the at least one memory, a user ID, the movement history, and the action history in association with one another;
acquiring, from the at least one memory, the movement history and the action history associated with the user ID of the user who succeeds in the face authentication, and the presentation information to be presented for guiding the user to a predetermined point in which the movement history and the action history satisfy the presentation condition stored in the at least one memory; and
transmitting the presentation information to a predetermined display terminal.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a presentation control program executable by a computer to perform processing comprising:
storing, in at least one memory:
a movement history and an action history of a user;
presentation information to be presented for guiding a user to a point different from a current point; and
a presentation condition based on the movement history and the action history in association with each other; and

acquiring a photographed image photographed by a predetermined photographing device;
extracting a face area or facial feature information from the photographed image and causing an authentication device to perform face authentication;
registering, in the at least one memory, a user ID, the movement history, and the action history in association with one another;
acquiring, from the at least one memory, the movement history and the action history associated with the user ID of the user who succeeds in the face authentication, and the presentation information to be presented for guiding the user to a predetermined point in which the movement history and the action history satisfy the presentation condition stored in the at least one memory; and
transmitting the presentation information to a predetermined display terminal,
a step of acquiring a photographed image photographed by a predetermined photographing device;
a step of extracting a face area or facial feature information from the photographed image and causing an authentication device to perform face authentication.
