Abstract

A facility searching method is provided, including preparing a facility DB storing facility information, converting a received voice data input constituting a voice query into data in a predetermined format, generating a query executable in a facility search based on the converted data, executing the facility search corresponding to the generated query by referencing the facility DB, controlling the facility search to execute a search at a preset search execution timing, and outputting a search result of a searched facility, further including: preparing a search query history DB for storing searched queries in association with a search execution time, specifying a zeroth query searched before the generated query by referencing the search query history DB, determining whether the generated query matches the zeroth query, setting the facility search to an execution waiting state when determining, and canceling the execution waiting state when a new voice query input is received.
