Regional attribute determination method, regional attribute determination device, and regional attribute determination program

Abstract

In a regional attribute determination method for determining a regional attribute representing an attribute of people gathering in each region, user information including the locations and attributes of a number of users is acquired from a number of portable information terminal devices used by the number of users, the acquired user information of the number of users is stored in a user information storage part, and the regional attribute is determined on the basis of the user information of the number of users stored in the user information storage part.

1 . A portable terminal apparatus comprising:
 a display device;   a processor; and   a memory device storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate with the display device and the input device to:
 (a) determine location information by measuring a location of the portable information terminal device, the location information being indicative of an altitude of the portable information terminal device; 
 (b) acquire registered information based on the measured location, the registered information including an effective area, the effective area being increased in response to the altitude of the portable information terminal being increased; and 
 (c) display an augmented reality image which includes the acquired registered information. 
   
   
   
       2 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to enable a user to send electronic information desired to be registered to an information management device. 
   
   
       3 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the electronic information desired to be registered includes at least one of image data, moving image data, voice data, text data and three-dimensional model data. 
   
   
       4 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the information management device is configured to determine whether to register the sent electronic information based on predefined criteria. 
   
   
       5 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the information management device is configured to register authorization of users who can access stored registered information. 
   
   
       6 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to determine the location information by using a global positioning system. 
   
   
       7 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to operate with display device to display icons of received search results on a map using the determined location information. 
   
   
       8 . A method of operating a portable terminal apparatus including instructions, the method comprising:
 (a) causing a processor to execute the instructions to determine location information by measuring a location of the portable information terminal device, the location information being indicative of an altitude of the portable information terminal device;   (b) causing the processor to execute the instructions to acquire registered information based on the measured location, the registered information including an effective area, the effective area being increased in response to the altitude of the portable information terminal being increased; and   (c) causing a display device to display an augmented reality image which includes the acquired registered information.   
   
   
       9 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 8 , which includes causing the processor to execute the instructions to enable a user to send electronic information desired to be registered to an information management device. 
   
   
       10 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the electronic information desired to be registered includes at least one of image data, moving image data, voice data, text data and three-dimensional model data. 
   
   
       11 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 9 , which includes causing the information management device to determine whether to register the sent electronic information based on a predefined criteria. 
   
   
       12 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 9 , which includes causing the information management device to register authorization of a user who can access stored registered information. 
   
   
       13 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 8 , which includes causing the processor to execute the instructions to determine the location information by using a global positioning system. 
   
   
       14 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 8 , which includes causing the display device to display icons of received search results on a map using the determined location information. 
   
   
       15 . A machine readable media storing instructions structured to cause a portable terminal apparatus to:
 (a) determine location information by measuring a location of the portable information terminal device, the location information being indicative of an altitude of the portable information terminal device;   (b) acquire registered information based on the measured location, the registered information including an effective area, the effective area being increased in response to the altitude of the portable information terminal being increased; and   (c) display an augmented reality image which includes the acquired registered information.   
   
   
       16 . The machine readable media of  claim 15 , wherein the instructions are further structured to cause the portable terminal apparatus to send electronic information desired to be registered to an information management device. 
   
   
       17 . The machine readable media of  claim 16 , wherein the information management device is configured to determine whether to register the sent electronic information based on a predefined criteria. 
   
   
       18 . The machine readable media of  claim 16 , wherein the information management device is configured to register authorizations of users who can access stored registered information. 
   
   
       19 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the instructions are further structured to cause the portable terminal apparatus to determine the location information by using a global positioning system. 
   
   
       20 . The portable terminal apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the instructions are further structured to cause the portable terminal apparatus to operate with display device to display icons of received search results on a map using the determined location information.
