Abstract

An information processing apparatus 10 acquires face image data of a passenger 55 who has disembarked from an aircraft, and acquires flight information corresponding to the face image data acquired by an image capture device 51 from a storage device 52 in which flight information of the passenger 55 and the face image data of the passenger 55 are stored in association with each other in advance. It is determined based on the acquired flight information whether the passenger 55 is a transit passenger. Sightseeing area information regarding the sightseeing area of the tour is acquired, and if the passenger is a transit passenger, a tour based on the sightseeing area information and flight information is searched for. The information of the searched-for tour is displayed on display devices 53 and 54.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
 a biological information acquisition unit that acquires biological information of a passenger who has disembarked from an aircraft;   a flight information acquisition unit that acquires flight information corresponding to the acquired biological information from a storage device in which the flight information of the passenger and the biological information of the passenger are stored in association with each other in advance;   a passenger determination unit that determines, based on the acquired flight information, whether the passenger is a passenger who is to re-board an aircraft after disembarking from the aircraft;   a sightseeing area information acquisition unit that acquires sightseeing area information regarding a sightseeing area of a tour;   a tour search unit that searches for a tour in which the passenger can participate based on the sightseeing area information and the flight information if the passenger is a re-boarding passenger; and   a display control unit that displays information of the searched-for tour on a display device.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the sightseeing area information is a degree of congestion of a sightseeing area of the tour.   
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the degree of congestion is a degree of concentration of people at the sightseeing area of the tour.   
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the degree of congestion is the number of people detected per viewing field of an image capture device installed at the sightseeing area by detecting faces of people through image recognition based on image data captured by the image capture device.   
     
     
         5 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the degree of congestion is the number of people per predetermined area, which is judged by a person.   
     
     
         6 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the degree of congestion is the number of people participating in the tour.   
     
     
         7 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the degree of congestion is the number of people participating in tours for which a sightseeing area is the same.   
     
     
         8 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the degree of congestion is the number of payments performed through face recognition at an airport or the sightseeing area.   
     
     
         9 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the degree of congestion is the number of instances of face recognition performed at the sightseeing area.   
     
     
         10 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the tour search unit acquires a stay time of the passenger at an airport from the flight information, and determines a tour suitable for the passenger based on the stay time.   
     
     
         11 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 10 ,
 wherein the tour search unit acquires a round-trip time between the airport and a tour destination and determines a tour for which a time obtained by subtracting the round-trip time from the stay time is a predetermined value or more.   
     
     
         12 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the biological information is face image data.   
     
     
         13 . An information processing method comprising:
 acquiring biological information of a passenger who has disembarked from an aircraft;   acquiring flight information corresponding to the acquired biological information from a storage device in which the flight information of the passenger and the biological information of the passenger are stored in association with each other in advance;   determining, based on the acquired flight information, whether the passenger is a passenger who is to re-board an aircraft after disembarking from the aircraft;   acquiring sightseeing area information regarding a sightseeing area of a tour;   searching for a tour in which the passenger can participate based on the sightseeing area information and the flight information if the passenger is a re-boarding passenger; and   displaying information of the searched-for tour on a display device.   
     
     
         14 - 15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . The information processing method according to claim  15 ,
 wherein the degree of concentration is the number of people detected per viewing field of an image capture device installed at the sightseeing area by detecting faces of people through image recognition based on image data captured by the image capture device.   
     
     
         17 . The information processing method according to claim  15 ,
 wherein the degree of concentration is the number of people per predetermined area, which is judged by a person.   
     
     
         18 . The information processing method according to claim  14 ,
 wherein the degree of congestion is the number of people participating in the tour.
