Task selection apparatus and task selection assistance method
First Claim
1. A task selection assistance apparatus for assisting a user to select a task, the task selection assistance apparatus comprising a task selection assistance server communicable with a portable terminal, the task selection assistance server including:
- task model storing means for storing one or more tasks each indicating an action to be taken by the user to solve the user'"'"'s problem in association with one or more pieces of attribute information each indicating an attribute of a task;
attribute candidate determining means for determining one or more attribute information candidates to be presented to the user from the one or more pieces of attribute information stored in the task model storing means;
user selected attribute obtaining means for obtaining the one or more pieces of attribute information selected by the user from the one or more attribute information candidates determined by the attribute candidate determining means; and
task candidate determining means for determining one or more task candidates to be presented to the user from the one or more tasks stored in the task model storing means, based on the one or more pieces of attribute information obtained by the user selected attribute obtaining means,wherein the one or more task candidates can be narrowed down with the one or more pieces of attribute information including;
a domain that is subject location information indicating a location subject to a task; and
a task phase, andwherein the task phase includes an executing phase and a planning phase, the task in the executing phase is expected to be accomplished in the domain, the task in the planning phase is expected to be accomplished in other locations than the domain, and the task which is expected to be accomplished in a location independent of the domain is applicable to both of the executing and planning phases.

Abstract
The present invention provides a task selection assistance apparatus, and a task selection assistance method, which enable burdens on a user to be alleviated in selecting a task for solving a problem. A domain candidate determining portion 210 determines domain candidates to be presented to the user from among domains stored in a task model DB 102, and a domain candidate transmitting portion 201 transmits the domain candidates to a portable terminal 101. A user selected domain obtaining portion 203 obtains a domain, which has been selected by the user, from the portable terminal 101, and the task candidate determining portion 211 determines task candidates to be presented to the user from among tasks stored in the task model DB 102 based on the domain selected by the user.
