[0057]
  Next, various processes by the information center 1 and the personal computer 4 will be specifically described based on the flowchart of FIG.
[0058]
  In the present embodiment, the mobile phone 3 notifies the home personal computer 4 of the name of the public transportation to be used when returning home by the mobile phone 3, and the pick-up person who receives the communication sends the flight to the information center 1 by the personal computer 4. An example is shown in which a name is set and notification of departure time is received from the information center 1.
[0059]
  In FIG. 2, the process on the left side in the figure shows the personal computer 4 side process, and the process on the right side in the figure shows the information center 1 side process.
[0060]
  In step S1, the personal computer 4 transmits a request for checking the departure time for pick-up to the information center 1.
[0061]
  The information center 1 receives the request from the personal computer 4 in step A1, and transmits the input screen shown in FIG. 3, for example, to the personal computer 4 in step A2.
[0062]
  As shown in FIG. 3, the input items on the input screen can be set to date and time, type of public transportation to be used, flight number, spare time, departure place, and priority road.
[0063]
  The date and time are set to input the date and time directly.
[0064]
  The type can be selected and set from a pull-down menu. In this embodiment, the type can be selected from an airplane, a railway, and a ferry.
[0065]
  Note that a bus may be selected as another type of public transportation.
[0066]
  The flight name can be selected and set from a pull-down menu, and when the type of public transportation is selected, the flight name corresponding to the type is selected and set.
[0067]
  The margin time can be selected and set from a pull-down menu. In this embodiment, the margin time up to 30 can be selected and set in increments of 5 minutes. (In FIG. 3, up to 15 minutes are shown.)
  The departure place is assumed to be the home registered in the information center 1 as an initial setting, and when a place other than the home is set as the departure place, a specific departure place can be directly input in the other fields.
[0068]
  The priority road can be selected and set from a pull-down menu, and in the present embodiment, it is possible to select either a highway or a general road as a road to be used.
[0069]
  When each item is input, the input screen transfer button in FIG. 3 is turned on to transfer the input item to the information center 1.
[0070]
  When the input item is transferred to the information center 1, if it is desired to automatically set the destination setting in the vehicle navigation device 5 of the pick-up person, the destination setting column in FIG. If the user wants to be notified by an alarm or the like in advance of a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) before the departure time, the departure time notification column is checked and transferred to the information center 1.
[0071]
  Returning to FIG. 2, the personal computer 4 receives and displays the input screen transmitted from the information center 1 in step S2.
[0072]
  In step S3, the date and time, the type of public transport (in this embodiment, an example using a railroad), the flight number, the spare time, and the departure place (in this embodiment, the home is set as the departure place) in step S3. A priority road is input and transmitted to the information center 1.
[0073]
  In step A3, the information center 1 receives the date and time, the type of public transportation, the flight number, the spare time, the departure place, and the priority road.
[0074]
  In step A4, it is determined whether an input screen transfer operation is requested.
[0075]
  This means that when sending various input items to the information center 1 in step S3, it may be necessary to input from both the picker and the mover. For example, the picker is at a place other than his home, If the input is not possible from the mobile side, the departure point may be entered by the pick-up person, and the input items other than the departure point may be entered by the mobile person. Leave the information center 1.
[0076]
  In addition, in this embodiment, since the example which only the picker side inputs is shown as mentioned above, it determines with NO in the following step A4.
[0077]
  When YES is determined in step A4, a request request is transmitted to the corresponding counterpart terminal (form terminal 3 or personal computer 4).
[0078]
  If NO is determined in step A4, the process proceeds to step A6 without performing the process of step A5.
[0079]
  In step A6, it is determined whether or not the input item is incomplete. When it is determined YES and it is determined that the input item is incomplete, the process returns to the process before step A2.
[0080]
  When it is determined NO in step A6, the process proceeds to step A7, and the corresponding arrival station is selected from the diagram information database 7a based on the set departure place.
[0081]
  Here, when there are a plurality of corresponding arrival stations, stations that are more than a predetermined value away from the set departure point are excluded from the arrival stations, and the station closest to the departure point is selected as the arrival station.
[0082]
  In step A8, the arrival time at the arrival station is obtained from the diagram information database 7a based on the set flight name and the arrival station selected in step A7.
[0083]
  In step A9, the surplus time input from the personal computer 4 is set as a surplus time for departure time calculation.
[0084]
  In step A10, the required time by the vehicle from the departure place to the arrival station is calculated.
[0085]
  The required time is set based on the set route, traffic jam information, and the like by setting the route from the departure place to the arrival station.
[0086]
  In step A11, a departure time is set based on the arrival time set in step A8, the margin time set in step A9, and the required time set in step A10.
[0087]
  In step A12, the departure computer is notified of the departure time to the personal computer 4.
[0088]
  In step S4, the personal computer 4 receives the departure time notified from the information center 1, and displays the departure time as shown in the upper right of the input screen in FIG.
[0089]
  In step S5, when the departure time is received, the OK switch on the input screen in FIG. 3 is turned on to transmit that the departure time has been received to the information center 1.
[0090]
  When the information center 1 receives the OK signal in step A13, in step A14, the information center 1 determines whether or not it is set to notify that the departure time is approaching a predetermined time before the departure time. .
[0091]
  If YES is determined in step A14, the process proceeds to step A15, and it is determined whether or not a diamond delay has occurred.
[0092]
  If YES is determined in step A15, the process proceeds to step A16, and the departure time calculated in step A11 is corrected based on the time delay.
[0093]
  When it is determined NO in step A15, the process of step A16 is bypassed and the process proceeds to step A17.
[0094]
  In step A17, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed before the departure time set in step A11 or the departure time corrected in step A16.
[0095]
  If YES is determined in step A17, the process proceeds to step A18, and the personal computer 4 is notified of the predetermined time before the departure time together with the presence or absence of a time delay.
[0096]
  In step S6, when the personal computer 4 receives a notification that the information center 1 is a predetermined time before the departure time, for example, the personal computer 4 displays the notification as shown in FIG. Ends and returns.
[0097]
  Further, the information center 1 determines whether or not automatic destination setting for the navigation device 5 is requested in step A19.
[0098]
  When it is determined YES in Step A19, the process proceeds to Step A20, where the arrival station selected in Step A7 is set as the destination of the navigation device 5 of the pick-up vehicle and transmitted to the navigation device 5.
[0099]
  In the present embodiment, the flight number of the public transportation is also transmitted simultaneously with the transmission of the arrival station.
[0100]
  In step A21, the current location information of the flight name obtained from the diagram information database 7a is transmitted to the navigation device 5 in real time, and the processing by the information center 1 ends when the pick-up vehicle arrives at the arrival station.
[0101]
  Next, processing of the navigation device 5 will be described based on FIG.
[0102]
  In step B1 of FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not the destination set in the information center 1 is received.
[0103]
  When it is determined YES in Step B1, the process proceeds to B2, and the route guidance of the vehicle is executed based on the received destination, and then received from the information center 1 in Step B3 as shown in FIG. The current location of the public transport is displayed on the map screen of the navigation device 5.
[0104]
  It should be noted that the display of the current location of public transportation can be displayed only when approaching within a predetermined radius centering on the arrival station, or can be displayed only when it is desired to confirm the current location.
[0105]
  When NO is determined in B1, the process proceeds to step B4, and the route guidance to the destination is executed after the user (in this case, the pick-up person) who gets on the vehicle sets the destination as usual. The
[0106]
  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the arrival station and the arrival time at the arrival station are automatically set for the information center 1 simply by setting the flight name of the public transport to be used. Since the user terminal is notified of the departure time from the departure place of the transfer person for arriving at the arrival time, the trouble of checking the arrival time can be omitted, and the trouble of determining the departure time can be omitted.
[0107]
  In addition, even when the transfer person goes to the arrival station from a place other than his / her home, the user can be notified of an appropriate departure time.
[0108]
  In addition, when there are a plurality of arrival stations, arrival stations that are more than a predetermined value away from the departure place of the pick-up person are excluded.
[0109]
  Further, since the departure place is set by the pick-up person, when the pick-up person is outside his / her home, the departure time can be notified based on the current place where the pick-up person is actually located.
[0110]
  In addition, when there is a delay in the schedule, the departure time is corrected and the corrected departure time is notified, so that it is possible to prevent the pickup person from waiting more than necessary at the arrival station.
[0111]
  In addition, since the departure time can be set in consideration of the surplus time desired by the pick-up person, it is possible to notify the departure time with a margin in consideration of the influence of traffic jams.
[0112]
  Further, when the flight name is input to the information center 1 and transmitted, it is automatically set as the destination of the navigation device 5 of the picker vehicle, so that the destination setting operation by the picker can be omitted.
[0113]
  In the present embodiment, an example in which information such as a flight number is input from the pick-up person (personal computer 4) to the information center 1 is shown. However, the information may be input from the mobile phone 3 of the mobile person.
[0114]
  In that case, the processing terminal is simply replaced by the mobile terminal 3 of the mobile person from the personal computer 4 of the picker, and the processing of the mobile phone 3 itself is the processing S1 to S6 by the personal computer 4 shown on the left side in FIG. It is the same.
[0115]
  However, when entering information from the mobile phone 3 of the mobile person, the current position of the pick-up person may not be grasped. If the pick-up person is in a place other than his / her home, departure based on the current position of the pick-up person Since there is a possibility that the time cannot be set, the departure place is restricted from being input from the mobile phone 3 of the mobile person so that the departure place can be input only from the pickup side (personal computer 4 or the portable terminal of the pickup person). It is desirable.
[0116]
  For example, an input item for inputting whether the user is a moving person or a transfer person is provided on the input screen transferred from the information center 1, and when the fact that the user is a moving person is input, the input item for the starting point is closed and the starting point is In order to have the input, the input screen may be transferred to the terminal of the transfer person set by the traveler.
[0117]
  Further, in the present embodiment, when there are a plurality of arrival stations, an example in which the arrival stations far from the departure place are excluded and displayed is shown. However, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to display and allow the user to select which arrival station from which to set.
[0118]
  In this way, by making it possible to select an arrival station, it is convenient for the transferee, for example, when you are in a place other than your home, you can select an arrival station that is close to your current location, and shorten the transfer time. Can be planned.
[0119]
  Further, in the present embodiment, the example in which the departure time correction associated with the time delay is executed only when the departure time notification is set is shown, but step A16 in FIG. 2 is performed so that the time delay correction can always be performed.
