Abstract

An output control device includes a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a person is a specific person, a processing unit configured to acquire position information of the person, and an output control unit configured to cause a first output device located in the vicinity of the person to output information according to the person on the basis of personal information about the person determined to be the specific person by the determination unit and the position information acquired by the processing unit, wherein the output control unit is configured to cause a second output device to output the information output by the first output device in continuation with the output of the first output device if the person has moved from the vicinity of the first output device to the vicinity of the second output device.

Claims (49)

1. An output control device, comprising:

at least one memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one hardware processor configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire position information of a specific person;

determine a presence of a first display, from a plurality of displays, based on the position information of the specific person;

determine personal information which the specific person is interested;

cause the first display to output information according to the specific person based on the determined personal information;

acquire a second reproduction position being played on the first display at the time the specific person moved away from the first display; and

cause a second display that is different from the first display to output the information output by the first display from a first reproduction position of a point in time which is a predetermined time earlier than the second reproduction position, in a case where the specific person has moved to the second display.

2. The output control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information changes over time.

3. The output control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to cause the second display to output the information output by the first display from the first reproduction position according to the second reproduction position at a point in time when the specific person moved away from the first display.

4. The output control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to:

determine as the personal information, based on the position information, a product to which the specific person is interested;

determine the information according to the specific person and the product; and

cause the first display to output the information.

5. The output control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine the presence of the first display by determining whether the first display is installed within a range of a position indicated by the position information of the specific person.

6. The output control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

determine whether or not reproduction information associated with the specific person is stored in the at least one memory, the reproduction information including information to be output and reproduction position of the information,

determine the personal information which the specific person is interested when the reproduction information associated with the specific person is not stored in the at least one memory, and cause the first display to output the information corresponding to the specific person based on the determined personal information, and

cause to first display to output the information, which is output to another display among a plurality of displays, in continuation with output of the another display based on the reproduction information, when the reproduction information associated with the specific person is stored in the at least one memory.

7. An information output system, comprising:

a plurality of displays; and

an output control device configured to control information to be output to the plurality of displays,

wherein the output control device includes

at least one memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one hardware processor configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire position information of a specific person;

determine a presence of a first display, from the plurality of displays, based on the position information of the specific person;

determine personal information which the specific person is interested;

cause the first display to output information according to the specific person based on the determined personal information;

acquire a second reproduction position being played on the first display at the time the specific person moved away from the first display; and

cause a second display that is different from the first display to output the information output by the first display from a first reproduction position of a point in time which is a predetermined time earlier than the second reproduction position, in a case where the specific person has moved to the second display.

8. An output control method, comprising:

acquiring position information of a specific person;

determining a presence of a first display, from a plurality of displays, based on the position information of the specific person;

determining personal information which the specific person is interested;

causing the first display to output information according to the specific person based on the determined personal information;

acquiring a second reproduction position being played on the first display at the time the specific person moved away from the first display; and

causing a second display that is different from the first display to output the information output by the first display from a first reproduction position of a point in time which is a predetermined time earlier than the second reproduction position, in a case where the specific person has moved to the second display.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute processes, the processes comprising:

acquiring position information of a specific person;

determine a presence of a first display, from a plurality of displays, based on the position information of the specific person;

determine personal information which the specific person is interested;

causing a first display located in the vicinity of the specific person to output information according to the specific person based on the determined personal information;

acquiring a second reproduction position being played on the first display at the time the specific person moved away from the first display; and

causing a second display that is different from the first display to output the information output by the first display from a first reproduction position of a point in time which is a predetermined time earlier than the second reproduction position, in a case where the specific person has moved to the second display.
