==GUIDE DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS, GUIDE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND ROUTE GUIDING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244327 titled 'GUIDE DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS, GUIDE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND ROUTE GUIDING SYSTEM

==Simplified Explanation==

The guide display control apparatus described in the patent application is designed to provide guidance to facility users within a monitoring area. Here are the key points:

* The apparatus includes a detection signal obtaining unit that collects identification information of a facility user who enters the monitoring area.
* A destination obtaining unit retrieves a list of destinations associated with the identification information of the facility user.
* A travel time predicting unit searches for routes from the monitoring area to each destination and predicts the travel time for the facility user based on the search results.
* A display data generating unit creates display data that includes a guide diagram with arrows indicating the routes to each destination and the corresponding travel time.

Potential applications of this technology:

* This apparatus can be used in large facilities like airports, shopping malls, or hospitals to guide visitors to their desired destinations efficiently.
* It can also be implemented in amusement parks or museums to provide interactive and personalized guidance to visitors.

Problems solved by this technology:

* The apparatus solves the problem of efficiently guiding facility users to their destinations within a monitoring area.
* It eliminates the need for manual assistance or paper maps, making the navigation process more streamlined and user-friendly.

Benefits of this technology:

* Facility users can easily find their way to different destinations within a monitoring area, saving time and reducing frustration.
* The personalized guidance provided by the apparatus enhances the overall user experience.
* The apparatus can optimize the flow of people within a facility, improving efficiency and reducing congestion.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A guide display control apparatus includes: a detection signal obtaining unit to obtain a detection signal including identification information of a facility user who has entered a monitoring area from an approach detector that detects entry of the facility user into the monitoring area; a destination obtaining unit to obtain a plurality of destinations associated with the identification information included in the detection signal; a travel time predicting unit to search for routes from the monitoring area to the respective destinations, and predict a travel time of the facility user from the monitoring area to each of the destinations on the basis of a search result of the routes; and a display data generating unit to generate display data to display a guide diagram including arrows each indicating a corresponding one of the routes to the respective destinations and the travel time to each of the destinations.
