To provide a destination prediction apparatus which can predict a
destination of a user by using a carried item carried by the user, the
destination prediction apparatus according to the present invention
includes: a position information detection unit which detects a present
position of a mobile terminal; a carried item detection unit which
detects the carried item of the user; a history accumulation unit which
accumulates a history of date and time information detected by a clock
unit, position information detected by the position information detection
unit, and information of the carried item of the user detected by the
carried item detection unit; a carry frequency judgment unit which
calculates a frequency at which the carried item is carried; a causal
relationship extraction unit which calculates an infrequently carried
item and a related point; a destination prediction unit which predicts
the destination using the position information, the carried item
information, and a position causal relationship extracted by the causal
relationship extraction unit; and the clock unit which detects the date
and time information.
