Abstract

An information provision device includes: a detection information acquirer that acquires detection information regarding an object present in a living space including a building or premises where a person lives, lodges, or stays; a detection information retaining unit that stores detection information acquired by the detection information acquirer; and a provision information generator that generates provision information based on detection information stored in the detection information retaining unit. The detection information acquirer acquires detection information regarding a position of an object present in the living space. The provision information generator generates provision information based on whether or not there is a time variation in the position of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

Claims (47)

1 . An information provision device, comprising:

an acquirer that acquires detection information regarding an object present in a living space including a building or premises where a person lives, lodges, or stays;

a storage unit that stores detection information acquired by the acquirer; and

a generator that generates provision information based on detection information stored in the storage unit, wherein

the acquirer acquires detection information regarding a position of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information based on whether or not there is a time variation in the position of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

2 . The information provision device of claim 1 , wherein the generator generates the provision information based on a difference between the position of an object present in the living space and a reference position of the object in the living space.

3 . The information provision device of claim 2 , wherein the reference position is specified by a user, or is determined based on whether or not there is a time variation in the position of the object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

4 . The information provision device of claim 1 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a kind or an amount of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the kind or amount of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

5 . The information provision device of claim 4 , wherein the generator generates the provision information based on whether or not there is a time variation in the kind or amount of an object present in a specific area within the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

6 . The information provision device of claim 5 , wherein the generator generates the provision information for each of a plurality of information provision destinations, based on whether or not there is a time variation in the kind or amount of an object present in an area related to the information provision destination, or based on the extent of the time variation.

7 . The information provision device of claim 5 , wherein the generator generates the provision information based on whether or not there is a time variation in the kind or amount of an object mounted on or stored in a building component, furniture, or equipment installed in the living space, or based on the extent of the time variation.

8 . The information provision device of claim 1 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a state of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the state of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

9 . The information provision device of claim 8 , wherein the generator generates the provision information based on a difference between the state of an object present in the living space and a reference state of the object.

10 . The information provision device of claim 9 , wherein the reference state is specified by a user, or is determined based on whether or not there is a time variation in the state of the object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

11 . An information provision method, comprising:

acquiring detection information regarding a position of an object present in a living space including a building or premises where a person lives, lodges, or stays, and storing the detection information in a storage unit; and

generating provision information based on whether or not there is a time variation in detection information regarding a position of an object present in the living space stored in the storage unit or based on the extent of the time variation.

12 . The information provision device of claim 2 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a kind or an amount of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the kind or amount of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

13 . The information provision device of claim 3 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a kind or an amount of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the kind or amount of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

14 . The information provision device of claim 6 , wherein the generator generates the provision information based on whether or not there is a time variation in the kind or amount of an object mounted on or stored in a building component, furniture, or equipment installed in the living space, or based on the extent of the time variation.

15 . The information provision device of claim 2 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a state of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the state of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

16 . The information provision device of claim 3 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a state of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the state of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

17 . The information provision device of claim 4 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a state of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the state of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

18 . The information provision device of claim 5 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a state of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the state of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

19 . The information provision device of claim 6 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a state of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the state of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.

20 . The information provision device of claim 7 , wherein

the acquirer further acquires detection information regarding a state of an object present in the living space, and

the generator generates the provision information further based on whether or not there is a time variation in the state of an object present in the living space or based on the extent of the time variation.
