Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a first managing unit that manages specific person information, the specific person information being information regarding a specific person, a second managing unit that manages attention object information, the attention object information being information regarding an attention object candidate, a searching unit that searches for the specific person information, using the attention object information as a search key, an evaluating unit that evaluates an attention object, on the basis of a search result obtained by the searching unit, and a storage control unit that stores the specific person, the attention object, and an evaluation value obtained by the evaluating unit in association with each other.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a first managing unit that manages specific person information, the specific person information being information regarding a specific person;

a second managing unit that manages attention object information, the attention object information being information regarding an attention object candidate;

a searching unit that searches for the specific person information, using the attention object information as a search key;

an evaluating unit that evaluates an attention object, on the basis of a search result obtained by the searching unit; and

a storage control unit that stores the specific person, the attention object, and an evaluation value obtained by the evaluating unit in association with each other.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the evaluating unit performs weighting according to the specific person information to evaluate the attention object.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the evaluating unit evaluates the attention object, on the basis of how many times the attention object information is searched for in the specific person information by the searching unit.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the evaluating unit performs a plus/minus evaluation.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the specific person includes a celebrity.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the specific person information includes an address of a Web page that provides the information regarding the specific person.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the attention object information is store information, event information, spot information, or commercial product information.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the evaluating unit performs weighting according to a provider of the specific person information to evaluate the attention object.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the searching unit searches for a recommendation/use history of the attention object in the specific person information.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the searching unit searches for the specific person information of a plurality of specific persons, and

wherein the evaluating unit evaluates the attention object, on the basis of a plurality of search results obtained by the searching unit.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a transmission control unit that performs control to transmit information to display the attention object, on the basis of the evaluation value of the attention object stored in association with the specific person designated from a client terminal.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11,

wherein, when the evaluation value is more than a predetermined value, the transmission control unit performs control to transmit the information to display the attention object.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11,

wherein the transmission control unit performs control to transmit information to display the attention object on a map, on the basis of position information included in the attention object information.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11,

wherein the transmission control unit performs control to transmit information to display the attention object displayed in a different aspect according to whether the evaluation value is more than a first predetermined value or a second predetermined value.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a transmission control unit that transmits information to guide a user to a position of the attention object, on the basis of the evaluation value of the attention object stored in association with the specific person designated from a client terminal.

16. A recording medium having a program recorded thereon, the program causing a computer to execute:

a process of managing specific person information, the specific person information being information regarding a specific person;

a process of managing attention object information, the attention object information being information regarding an attention object candidate;

a process of searching for the specific person information, using the attention object information as a search key;

a process of evaluating an attention object, on the basis of a search result obtained in the process of searching for the specific person information; and

a process of storing the specific person, the attention object, and an evaluation value obtained in the process of evaluating the attention object in association with each other.
