ABSTRACT:
Provided is a destination-prediction apparatus that predicts a destination with increased accuracy than using a conventional technique. The destination-prediction apparatus comprises a candidate-destination selecting unit that selects and orders a plurality of candidate destinations, a drawing processing unit that displays the selected candidate destinations according to the ordering, a rule setting unit that sets a rule that a moving object moves to the candidate destination at a constant frequency during a certain unit period, a unit-period frequency accumulating unit that determines actual frequency at which the moving object has moved to the candidate destination during the unit period, and a actual-frequency judging unit that judges whether or not the actual frequency reaches trip frequency included in the rule. The drawing processing unit displays the candidate destinations, reflecting a result of the judgment that the actual frequency satisfies the rule.
