Information presenting method

Abstract

An information presenting method includes: determining whether each event scheduled in a user schedule information belongs to a first event related to work activities or a second event not related to work activities; calculating a degree of fatigue based on a first total time of the first event and a second total time of the second event; searching for a free time after a current time, in which no event is scheduled, based on the user schedule information; determining a future position of the user in an event temporally adjacent to the free time based on the user schedule information; and generating presentation information about a service provider for relieving fatigue and that exists in a certain location around the future position of the user in response to a determination that the degree of fatigue is greater than or equal to a threshold value set for the user.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information presenting method of providing presentation information to a terminal apparatus, the information presenting method comprising:
 acquiring, with a processor, user schedule information in which at least one event is scheduled by a user for each date and time;   determining whether each event scheduled in a certain period in the user schedule information belongs to a first event or a second event using information indicating whether each of the events belongs to the first event or the second event, wherein an event is recognized as a first event in response to the determining that the event information comprising a term from a set of terms predefined as related to work activities, and an event is recognized as a second event in response to the determining that the event information comprising a term from a set of terms predefined as not related to work activities;   calculating a first total time of the first event and a second total time of the second event;   assigning weight to the first total time of the first event by multiplying the first total time by a first value;   assigning weight to the second total time of the second event by multiplying the second total time by a second value, wherein the first value being greater than the second value;   calculating the degree of fatigue by adding a weighted total resulting from the multiplication of the first total time by the first value to weighted total resulting from the multiplication of the second total time by the second value;   determining whether the calculated degree of fatigue is greater than or equal to a threshold value set for the user;   searching for a free time after a current time, in which no event is scheduled, on the basis of the user schedule information;   determining a future position of the user in an event which is temporally adjacent to the free time based on the user schedule information;   searching for service provider location information indicating a position of a service provider existing in a certain location around the future position of the user;   generating the presentation information about the service provider that provides a service for relieving fatigue of the user in the free time and that exists in the certain location around the future position of the user in response to a determination that the degree of fatigue is greater than or equal to the threshold value set for the user; and   transmitting the presentation information to the terminal apparatus when the free time starts.
