Abstract

In an information processing system, a terminal includes: a condition information generation unit that uses at least one of a first condition and a second condition to generate condition information; a state information generation unit that uses information that corresponds to the condition information of information based on the first condition and information based on the second condition to generate state information; a transmission unit that transmits the condition information and transmits the state information at a predetermined time interval; a reception unit that receives notice information; a reminder generation unit that generates a reminder when it is determined that the state information satisfies one of the first condition and the second condition when receiving the notice information; and a notification unit that notifies a user of the reminder, and an information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires the condition information and the state information; a condition determination unit that generates the notice information when it is determined that the state information satisfies one of the first condition and the second condition included in the condition information; and an output unit that transmits the notice information.

Claims

the terminal comprises:

a condition information generation unit that acquires a first condition and a second condition and uses at least one of the acquired first condition and the acquired second condition to generate condition information;

a state information generation unit that acquires information based on the first condition and information based on the second condition and uses information that corresponds to the condition information of the acquired information to generate state information;

a transmission unit that transmits the condition information to the information processing apparatus and transmits the state information to the information processing apparatus at a predetermined time interval;

a reception unit that receives notice information from the information processing apparatus;

a reminder generation unit that generates a reminder when it is determined that the state information satisfies one of the first condition and the second condition when receiving the notice information; and

a notification unit that notifies a user of the generated reminder, and wherein

the information processing apparatus comprises;

an acquisition unit that acquires the condition information and the state information transmitted by the terminal;

a condition determination unit that generates the notice information when it is determined that the acquired state information satisfies one of the first condition and the second condition included in the condition information; and

an output unit that transmits the notice information to the terminal.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein

the first condition is target position information,

the second condition is target time information,

the information based on the first condition is current position information indicating a current position, and

the information based on the second condition is current time information indicating a current time.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2, wherein

the terminal changes the predetermined time interval at which the current position is acquired and transmitted depending on a distance between the current position included in the current position information and a target position included in the target position information.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein

the terminal generates performance information indicating that the user has been notified of the reminder and transmits the generated performance information to the information processing apparatus, and

the information processing apparatus terminates a determination whether or not the state information satisfies one of the first condition and the second condition included in the condition information in response to the received performance information.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein

the notification unit of the terminal notifies the user of the reminder by using at least one of an image, speech, and vibration.

6. The information processing system according to claim 2, wherein

in the terminal,

the condition information generation unit acquires the target position information and the target time information and uses the acquired target position information to generate the condition information;

the state information generation unit acquires the current position information based on the target position information and the current time information based on the target time information and uses the current position information that corresponds to the condition information of the acquired information to generate the state information; and

the reminder generation unit generates the reminder when it is determined that the current time information satisfies the target time information when receiving the notice information, and

in the information processing apparatus,

the condition determination unit generates the notice information when it is determined that the current position information included in the state information satisfies the target position information included in the condition information.

7. A terminal comprising:

a condition information generation unit that acquires a first condition and a second condition and uses at least one of the acquired first condition and the acquired second condition to generate condition information;
