Abstract

An information providing device ( 10 ) estimates a degree of skill of a user for work on the basis of first information (for example, an image of a scene) that is information for specifying a situation in the work and second information (for example, a trajectory of a line of sight) that is information regarding the user who performs the work. The information providing device ( 10 ) presents information regarding the work to the user in a format according to the degree of skill estimated.

Claims (45)

1 . An information providing device comprising:

an estimation unit that estimates a degree of skill of a user for work on a basis of first information that is information for specifying a situation in the work and second information that is information regarding the user who performs the work; and

a presentation unit that presents information regarding the work to the user in a format according to the degree of skill estimated by the estimation unit.

2 . The information providing device according to claim 1 , wherein the estimation unit estimates the degree of skill of the user for the work by using a trajectory of a line of sight of the user in the work as the second information.

3 . The information providing device according to claim 1 , wherein the estimation unit estimates the degree of skill of the user for the work by using at least one of a motion of the user, a history of an operation by the user in the work, or biological information of the user as the second information.

4 . The information providing device according to claim 3 , wherein

the estimation unit

calculates a first value based on the motion at a predetermined time, a second value based on the history at the predetermined time, and a third value based on the biological information at the predetermined time,

acquires a fourth value that is the degree of skill of the user for the work estimated at a time before the predetermined time, and

estimates the degree of skill of the user for the work on a basis of the first value, the second value, the third value, and the fourth value such that

influence of the first value increases and influence of the fourth value decreases as an amount of experience of the user for the work is smaller, and

influence of the second value and the third value increases as the amount of experience of the user for the work is closer to a predetermined average value.

5 . The information providing device according to claim 1 , wherein the presentation unit displays a character string and an image indicating information regarding the work in a display area of a device used by the user in a case where the degree of skill estimated by the estimation unit is less than a first threshold, displays the character string indicating the information in the display area in a case where the degree of skill is greater than or equal to the first threshold and is less than a second threshold greater than the first threshold, and highlights a part of the display area according to the information in a case where the degree of skill is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

6 . The information providing device according to claim 1 , wherein the estimation unit estimates the degree of skill of the user on a basis of an evaluation value obtained by inputting the first information and the second information to a learned model.

7 . An information providing method executed by an information providing device,

the information providing method comprising:

an estimation step of estimating a degree of skill of a user for work on a basis of first information that is information for specifying a situation in the work and second information that is information regarding the user who performs the work; and

a presentation step of presenting information regarding the work to the user in a format according to the degree of skill estimated by the estimation step.

8 . (canceled)

9 . The information providing method according to claim 7 , wherein the degree of skill of the user for the work is estimated by using a trajectory of a line of sight of the user in the work as the second information.

10 . The information providing method according to claim 7 , wherein the degree of skill of the user for the work is estimated by using at least one of a motion of the user, a history of an operation by the user in the work, or biological information of the user as the second information.

11 . The information providing method according to claim 10 , wherein

a first value is calculated based on the motion at a predetermined time, a second value based on the history at the predetermined time, and a third value based on the biological information at the predetermined time,

a fourth value that is the degree of skill of the user for the work is acquired estimated at a time before the predetermined time, and

the degree of skill of the user for the work is estimated on a basis of the first value, the second value, the third value, and the fourth value such that

influence of the first value increases and influence of the fourth value decreases as an amount of experience of the user for the work is smaller, and

influence of the second value and the third value increases as the amount of experience of the user for the work is closer to a predetermined average value.

12 . The information providing method according to claim 7 , wherein a character string and an image indicating information regarding the work are displayed in a display area of a device used by the user in a case where the degree of skill estimated is less than a first threshold, displays the character string indicating the information in the display area in a case where the degree of skill is greater than or equal to the first threshold and is less than a second threshold greater than the first threshold, and highlights a part of the display area according to the information in a case where the degree of skill is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

13 . The information providing method according to claim 7 , wherein the estimation unit estimates the degree of skill of the user on a basis of an evaluation value obtained by inputting the first information and the second information to a learned model.

14 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer to execute an information providing program generation method comprising:

an estimation step of estimating a degree of skill of a user for work on a basis of first information that is information for specifying a situation in the work and second information that is information regarding the user who performs the work; and

a presentation step of presenting information regarding the work to the user in a format according to the degree of skill estimated by the estimation step.

15 . The information providing program according to claim 14 , wherein the estimation unit estimates the degree of skill of the user for the work by using a trajectory of a line of sight of the user in the work as the second information.

16 . The information providing program according to claim 14 , wherein the estimation unit estimates the degree of skill of the user for the work by using at least one of a motion of the user, a history of an operation by the user in the work, or biological information of the user as the second information.

17 . The information providing program according to claim 16 , wherein

the estimation unit

calculates a first value based on the motion at a predetermined time, a second value based on the history at the predetermined time, and a third value based on the biological information at the predetermined time,

acquires a fourth value that is the degree of skill of the user for the work estimated at a time before the predetermined time, and

estimates the degree of skill of the user for the work on a basis of the first value, the second value, the third value, and the fourth value such that

influence of the first value increases and influence of the fourth value decreases as an amount of experience of the user for the work is smaller, and

influence of the second value and the third value increases as the amount of experience of the user for the work is closer to a predetermined average value.
