There is disclosed a technique for automatically creating a detailed program table for playing contents according to various conditions. According to this technique, a constraint condition generation unit 103 acquires a condition (constraint condition) related to a user and describes this constraint condition through the use of a constraint condition description function. A constraint condition solution unit 104 carries out constraint solution processing by making reference to content attribute information stored in a content attribute storage unit 124 on the basis of the constraint condition description function supplied from the constraint condition generation unit, thereby deriving an optimal program table (optimal solution) defining a temporal arrangement of a plurality of contents. Moreover, in the case of constraint excess which leads to finding no optimal solution, a constraint condition priority acquisition unit 105 narrows down an optimal program table or performs recalculation while, in the case of constraint shortage which leads to finding a plurality of optimal solutions, a score setting unit 106 narrows down an optimal program table or performs recalculation. On the basis of the optimal program table thus created, a content acquisition unit 109 carries out content acquisition processing and a program playing unit 110 performs playing processing.

An object of this invention is to improve the accuracy of estimating a destination in a destination estimating apparatus. A destination estimating apparatus 100 includes: a learning data storing unit 9b that stores a history of a location specified as a destination in the past; a destination estimating unit 83 that estimates a destination from among a plurality of destination candidates including a location stored in the learning data storing unit 9b; and a candidate excluding unit 84 that, based on the history stored in the learning data storing unit 9b, excludes a destination candidate for which it is determined that a certainty factor of being a destination is lower than a predetermined threshold value from destination candidates that are estimated as being a destination by the destination estimating unit 83.
摘要:
A technology that makes a program line-up related to contents distributed to a user side, depending on various conditions, preferences, and communication environments of the user side that views and listens to the content is disclosed. According to the technology, an on-board device (content receiving and reproducing device) 1 receives, from a service server 5, potential content list information of contents that can be distributed from a content server 7. The on-board device 1 sorts appropriate content from among the contents in the potential content list information and decide on a reproducing order of the contents, based on conditions of the user side, such as user preferences and vehicle conditions, conditions related to an environment on the user side, such as the communication environment, and conditions related to the contents, such as the genre of the content. The on-board device 1 creates program table information (timetable) and transmits the program table information to the content server. As a result, reception and reproduction of the contents from the content server can be performed in adherence to the program table information.
摘要:
When a vehicle deviates from a guide route at a first branch point, the state of the first branch point is memorized. Afterward, when a second branch point becomes a target for a route guide and the state of the second branch point is similar to the memorized state, a user of the vehicle is provided with a guide for preventing deviation from the guide route at the second branch point with a manner of the guide changed. This procedure allows learning of tendency of the user with respect to a state apt to cause the user to mistake a guide route. A guide to help prevent a user from deviating from a guide route at a branch point can be thus performed appropriately.
