ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a system for analyzing the action of, e.g., a user who is carrying a portable terminal on the basis of information acquired from the portable terminal.
Information representing the date/time and position of a visit, and in some cases, information of a transport facility used need often be recorded as a daily action record.
In such a case, the user makes a note on the self action in a pocketbook or the like, or inputs the daily action to a personal computer or the like after he/she goes back to the office. In recent years, a portable terminal is becoming popular, and instead of writing the action in the pocketbook, the action record may be sometimes input to the portable terminal.
The operation of writing the daily action record in the pocketbook or inputting it to the personal computer is cumbersome. In addition, the writing or data input operation is often forgotten, so no accurate action record can be made.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a system for automatically analyzing outdoor action and recording it as an action record without performing any cumbersome recording operation.
To achieve the above object, there is provided an action analyzing/recording system wherein information transmitted through a communication control unit of a terminal is analyzed by an information processing unit connected to a network as an action record, data of an analysis result is stored in correspondence with a terminal identification code, and the data is transferred to said terminal as needed, said terminal comprising a detector for detecting position information and time information, and said communication control unit for network connection, and transmitting the information detected by said detector together with the terminal identification code.
According to the present invention, the action of the user who is holding the terminal outdoors can be analyzed, and the means of transportation can be estimated. Therefore, an accurate action can be automatically input without requiring the user of any specific input operation. In addition, since the analyzed data is recorded, the data can be referred to later as a personal action record or record in a goods delivery operation and applied to various application purposes.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
