Abstract

An information processing device stores difference information indicating a difference, for each of a plurality of users, between a first schedule time point and an execution time point, the first schedule time point indicating a time point at which each of the plurality of users was to execute an operation, and the execution time point indicating a time point at which each of the plurality of users executed the operation, and when it is detected that a first terminal device carried by a first user included in the plurality of users enters a first region, specifies the difference corresponding to the first user, specifies a timing at which content data used for the operation is to be transmitted to the first terminal device, based on the difference corresponding to the first user and a second schedule time point at which the operation is to be executed by the first user.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a memory configured to store difference information indicating a difference, for each of a plurality of users, between a first schedule time point and an execution time point, the first schedule time point indicating a time point at which each of the plurality of users was to execute an operation, and the execution time point indicating a time point at which each of the plurality of users executed the operation; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to;

when it is detected that a first terminal device carried by a first user included in the plurality of users enters a first region, specify, based on the difference information, the difference corresponding to the first user,

specify a timing at which content data used for the operation is to be transmitted to the first terminal device, based on the difference corresponding to the first user and a second schedule time point at which the operation is to be executed by the first user, and

transmit the content data to the first terminal device at the specified timing.

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

the processor is configured to specify the timing when a plurality of terminal devices carried by the plurality of users enter the first region.

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

the processor is configured to specify the timing based on the differences which correspond to the plurality of users.

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

the processor is configured to specify the timing based on the differences except differences exceeding a threshold value.

5. A method of transmitting content data, the method comprising:

when it is detected that a first terminal device carried by a first user included in a plurality of users enters a first region, specifying, based on difference information, a difference corresponding to the first user, the difference information indicating a difference, for each of the plurality of users, between a first schedule time point and an execution time point, the first schedule time point indicating a time point at which each of the plurality of users was to execute an operation, and the execution time point indicating a time point at which each of the plurality of users executed the operation;

specifying a timing at which content data used for the operation is to be transmitted to the first terminal device, based on the difference corresponding to the first user and a second schedule time point at which the operation is to be executed by the first user; and

transmitting the content data to the first terminal device at the specified timing.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein

in the specifying of the timing, specifying the timing when a plurality of terminal devices carried by the plurality of users enter the first region.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein

in the specifying of the timing, specifying the timing based on the differences which correspond to the plurality of users.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein

in the specifying of the timing, specifying the timing based on the differences except differences exceeding a threshold value.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes an information processing apparatus to execute a process, the process comprising:

when it is detected that a first terminal device carried by a first user included in a plurality of users enters a first region, specifying, based on difference information, a difference corresponding to the first user, the difference information indicating a difference, for each of the plurality of users, between a first schedule time point and an execution time point, the first schedule time point indicating a time point at which each of the plurality of users was to execute an operation, and the execution time point indicating a time point at which each of the plurality of users executed the operation;

specifying a timing at which content data used for the operation is to be transmitted to the first terminal device, based on the difference corresponding to the first user and a second schedule time point at which the operation is to be executed by the first user; and

transmitting the content data to the first terminal device at the specified timing.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9, wherein

in the specifying of the timing, specifying the timing when a plurality of terminal devices carried by the plurality of users enter the first region.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10, wherein

in the specifying of the timing, specifying the timing based on the differences which correspond to the plurality of users.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11, wherein

in the specifying of the timing, specifying the timing based on the differences except differences exceeding a threshold value.
