[Description of Operation of Example 1]
Next, the route map display process used for specifying the station name of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing of the station name designation method of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device in the present embodiment. FIG. 21 is a diagram showing the relationship between the processing shown in FIG. 7 and the functional configuration.

  First, a crew member carrying the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 inputs a train handled in business to the auxiliary vehicle issuing device, whereby a train code is acquired (S101). The vehicle designation method is not particularly limited in the present embodiment. For example, a method of inputting a train code by selecting from a list of train names displayed on the screen is conceivable. Alternatively, an RFID (Radio Frequency-Identification) system that identifies a train code by receiving an identification signal transmitted from a transponder installed in a train may be used.

  Next, the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 that has acquired the train code designated by the crew member acquires all the operation information corresponding to the acquired train code from the operation master 108 (S102), and uses the acquired operation information to be described later. A route map is created and displayed according to the procedure (S103). More specifically, the train code specified by the crew is notified to the station name extraction unit via the man-machine I / F unit, and the station name extraction unit that has received the notification uses the operation route information storage unit as a train code. Applicable operation information is acquired, a route map based on the operation information is created using the route map creation unit, and the route map is displayed on the display unit. FIG. 8 shows a route map display example.

  Next, the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 identifies the operation status of the train, and extracts the operation information of the next stop and subsequent stations. More specifically, the operation status detection unit 103 acquires the current time from a timer unit (not shown) (S104), compares the scheduled time 803 of the operation information obtained in step S102 with the current time, and schedules after the current time. The operation information having the time 803 is extracted (S105).

  Next, when there is one or more pieces of operation information obtained in the extraction of the process S105, that is, when there is operation information scheduled to stop next time (YES in S106), the route map creation unit 104 is used to perform the process S105. All the kilometer information corresponding to the station code 802 included in the obtained operation information is acquired from the kilometer master 107, and a route map is created based on the station name 704 of the kilometer information (S107). More specifically, first, the station codes 802 of the operation information acquired in step S105 are arranged in ascending order based on the kilometer distance acquired from the kilometer master 107, and are arranged in ascending order as shown in FIG. The station codes are registered in association with each other in order from the point code “001” of the route map master 109. In the example shown in FIG. 5, twelve station codes 902 from point codes “001” to “012” are registered in association with each other. Next, referring to the kilometer master 107 from the station code 902 registered in the route map master 109, the station name 704 corresponding to the station code 902 is obtained, and the points 001 to 038 in the template of the route map shown in FIG. By applying the station name 704, a route map as shown in FIG. 8 is created. The example of the template shown in FIG. 6 is composed of 38 stations from points “001” to “038” and routes connecting the points. In the route map shown in FIG. The example is composed of 12 stations to “Nishi Kagoshima” and 11 lines connecting these stations.

  After updating the route map in the process S107, the process is executed from the process S104, and the route map update process from the process S104 to the process S107 is repeated until there is no operation information in the deletion process in the process S105 (NO in S106). Do.

  For example, in the route map shown in FIG. 8, Kurume 1001 is registered in the kilometer master 107 shown in FIG. 3 in association with the station code “eki601”, and the station code “eki601” is the operation master shown in FIG. 108 is registered in association with the train code “densya001” and the scheduled time “8:00”. Furthermore, “Tosu” registered as a stop station just before Kurume is registered with the station code “eki501” in the kilometer master 107 shown in FIG. 3, and the train code in the operation master 108 shown in FIG. 4. It is registered in association with “densya001” and scheduled time “7:30”. Here, when the train code “densya001” is set in the process S101, 6 stations “Tosu” are deleted from “Mojiko” in the route map shown in FIG. 8 when the time “7:30” elapses. The route map shown in FIG. 9 is displayed until it reaches “8:00” scheduled to stop at “Kurume” station.

  In the first embodiment, the route map displayed on the display unit 300 of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device is used for inputting a station name in the ticketing operation of a crew member. In addition, about the business process after a station name designation | designated input, since it is not the point of this invention, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  With the above configuration, the station that has already been passed is deleted from the route map used for the station name designation input, that is, the next scheduled stop and subsequent routes are displayed separately from the passed station name and route. Is possible. Thereby, it becomes easy to specify the station which is the target of station name designation, and the input operation of station name designation can be simplified.

  In the above embodiment, the operation status detection method in the operation status detection unit 103 is a method of specifying the current position by comparing the scheduled operation time of the train with the current time obtained from the internal timer. A method of specifying the current position may be used. More specifically, use of a positioning system such as GPS can be mentioned. In this case, the operation information includes the position information of each route, and the current position on the route is specified by comparing the position information of each route with the position information obtained from the positioning system. A configuration may be adopted in which a GPS receiver or the like is installed on the train, and the position information is notified to the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 using a transmitter installed on the train. In the system shown in this embodiment, it is possible to specify the current position of the train using the timer function inside the auxiliary vehicle issuing device. Therefore, for the purpose of specifying the current location, communication means with the outside is used. There is no need to provide it.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the station and route that have already passed are deleted from the route map, so that the next scheduled stop and the route that is scheduled to pass are displayed separately from the station name and route that has already passed. By selecting and instructing a specific area on the display unit 300 for displaying the figure, the deleted station and route may be displayed again on the route map, or the next scheduled stop and subsequent routes It may be configured to display by distinguishing it by displaying it in a different display color from the name of the station and the route that has already passed, or the name of the station that has passed by blinking the next scheduled stop and the route scheduled to pass It may be configured to be displayed separately from the route.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the operation status detection method in the operation status detection unit 103 is configured to identify the current position by comparing the current time obtained from the internal timer with the scheduled stop time of the train. However, it is good also as a structure which has the adjustment time at the time of the train operation delay in the comparison process of the present time and scheduled stop time. More specifically, when a train operation delay occurs, the time that is the difference from the normal operation time is input as the adjustment time, and at the time of the time comparison judgment, the time that is added to the scheduled stop time and the current time By comparing with the time, the display system of the present embodiment can be made to function normally even when a train operation delay occurs.

  In addition, as a method for inputting the adjustment time, in addition to a method for acquiring the adjustment time by an input operation by a crew member, a method for acquiring the adjustment time using a reference signal received from the outside may be used. More specifically, a reference signal transmitted from a predetermined station is received when passing through the station, and triggered by reception of the reference signal, the time of the internal timer at the time of reception and the scheduled time of operation information of the next scheduled stop station It is good also as a structure which acquires this difference value and uses this difference value as adjustment time.

  Next, the route map display process used for specifying the station name of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a flow of route map creation / display processing of the station name designation method of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device according to the second embodiment. FIG. 22 is a diagram showing the relationship between the process shown in FIG. 10 and the functional configuration of the vehicle auxiliary issuing device 100.

  The processing from step S201 to step S204 is the same as the processing content from step S101 to step S104 in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 that acquired the current time in the process S204 identifies the current position of the train using the operation status detection unit 103, and acquires the operation information to be scheduled for the next stop from the operation information acquired in the process S202. (S205). More specifically, the operation information obtained in step S202 is arranged in ascending order based on the scheduled time 803, and the scheduled time 803 of the operation information arranged in ascending order is compared with the current time acquired in step S204 in order from the top. The first operation information 108 determined to have the scheduled time 803 that has not reached the current time is acquired as the operation information 108 scheduled for the next stop.

  Next, when there is operation information 108 scheduled for the next stop in the process S205 (YES in S205), the operation information 108 that is scheduled to stop one after another is acquired from the operation information 108 acquired in the process S202, similarly to the process S205. (S206). More specifically, the operation information 108 obtained in step S202 is arranged in ascending order at the scheduled time 803, and the scheduled time 803 of the operation information 108 arranged in ascending order is compared with the current time acquired in step S204 in order from the top. The second operation information 108 determined to have the scheduled time 803 that has not reached the current time is acquired as the operation information 108 scheduled to stop one after another. In addition, when operation information cannot be acquired in process S205 or process S206 (NO in S205 or NO in S206), the route map display update process is terminated.

  When the operation information on the next stop is obtained in the process S206 (YES in S206), the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 uses the station name extraction unit 102 to use the station information for the next stop scheduled operation information 108 and the next stop scheduled operation information 108 station. The station name specified by the code 802 is acquired from the master 107 for the kilometer (process S207). More specifically, first, the kilometer information corresponding to the station code 802 of the operation information 108 for the next stop and the second stop is acquired from the kilometer master 107. Next, all the kilometer information 107 included in the range of the kilometer distance 703 of the kilometer distance information 107 corresponding to the next stop operation information 108 and the kilometer distance information 107 corresponding to the next stop operation information 108 is acquired. Thus, the station code 702 and the station name 704 in the section between the next scheduled stop station and the next scheduled stop station are obtained.

  Next, the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 uses the station code 702 and the station name 704 acquired in the process S202, and the station code 702 and the station name 704 of the next scheduled stop station from the next scheduled stop station acquired in the process S207. A route map is created and displayed (S208). More specifically, first, the route map creation unit 104 of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 performs the station code and the station name acquired in the process S202, and the station in the section of the next scheduled stop station from the next scheduled stop station acquired in the process S207. The code 702 and the station name 704 are arranged in ascending order based on the kilometer distance 703 referred from the kilometer distance master 107, and the station code 702 arranged in ascending order is sequentially associated with the point code “001” in the route map master 109. And register. Next, the route map creation unit 104 refers to the kilometer master 107 from the station code 902 registered in the route map master 109, acquires the station name 704 corresponding to the station code 902, and forms the route map template shown in FIG. By applying the station name 704 to each of the points 001 to 038, a route map as shown in FIG. 11 is created.

  The route map shown in FIG. 11 shows an example in which “Kurume” is acquired as the next stop station in process S205 and “Kumamoto” is acquired as the next stop station in process S206. That is, as in Example 1, “7:30”, which is the estimated arrival time of “Tosu” one station before “Kurume”, passes from “Kurume” to “Kumamoto” in the route map shown in FIG. 22 stations are added, and the route map shown in FIG. 11 is displayed.

  With the above configuration, it is possible to display a station in a specific section from the next stop station that is not displayed on the original route map on the route map. As a result, it is possible to simplify the input operation for specifying the station name when responding to a request such as overpass settlement for a station in a specific section after the next stop.

  In the above embodiment, the operation status detection method in the operation status detection unit 103 is a method for identifying the current position by comparing the current time obtained from the internal timer with the scheduled stop time of the train. A method of acquiring the current position by performing communication may be used. More specifically, use of a positioning system such as GPS can be mentioned. In this case, the operation information includes the position information of each route, and the current position on the route is specified by comparing the position information of each route with the position information obtained from the positioning system. A configuration may be adopted in which a GPS receiver or the like is installed on the train, and the position information is notified to the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 using a transmitter installed on the train. In the system shown in this embodiment, it is possible to specify the current position of the train using the timer function inside the auxiliary vehicle issuing device. Therefore, for the purpose of specifying the current location, communication means with the outside is used. There is no need to provide it.

  Further, in this embodiment, the operation status detection method in the operation status detection unit 103 is configured to identify the next stop position by comparing the current time obtained from the internal timer with the scheduled stop time of the train. In the comparison process between the current time and the scheduled stop time, it may be configured to have an adjustment time when a train operation delay occurs. More specifically, when a train operation delay occurs, the time that is the difference from the normal operation time is input as the adjustment time, and at the time of the time comparison judgment, the time that is added to the scheduled stop time and the current time By comparing with the time, the display system of the present embodiment can be made to function normally even when a train operation delay occurs.

  In addition, as a method for inputting the adjustment time, in addition to a method for acquiring the adjustment time by an input operation by a crew member, a method for acquiring the adjustment time using a reference signal received from the outside may be used. More specifically, a reference signal transmitted from a predetermined station is received when passing through the station, and triggered by reception of the reference signal, the time of the internal timer at the time of reception and the scheduled time of operation information of the next scheduled stop station It is good also as a structure which acquires this difference value and uses this difference value as adjustment time.

  Next, the route map display process used for specifying the station name of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 in the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a flow of route map creation display processing of the station name designation method of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device in the present embodiment. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a relationship between the treatment shown in FIG. 12 and the functional configuration of the vehicle auxiliary issuing device.

  The flowchart of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 12 differs from the second embodiment only in that a process (S305) for deleting operation information that has already been passed is added after the current time is acquired (S304). This is the same as the flowchart of the second embodiment shown in FIG. The deletion process in the added process S305 is the same as the process S105 in the first embodiment illustrated in FIG.

  A display example of the route map displayed in step S309 of the third embodiment is shown in FIG. The contents shown in this example are the same as the example of FIG. 11 shown in the second embodiment, in which “Kurume” is acquired as the next stop station in the process S306, and “Kumamoto” is acquired as the next stop station in the process S307. Is shown. The route map example of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 13 is different from the route map of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 11 in that the station before “Kurume” which is the next stop station is deleted by the process S305.

  With the above configuration, the station that has been passed from the route map used for the station name designation input is deleted, and the station that is not displayed in the original route map is a station in a specific section from the next stop station. It is possible to display on the top. As a result, it is possible to easily identify the station that is the target of station name designation, and it is possible to simplify the input operation of station name designation when responding to requests such as passover settlement for a station in a specific section after the next stop.

  In the above embodiment, the operation status detection method in the operation status detection unit 103 is a method for identifying the current position by comparing the scheduled operation time of the train with the current time obtained from the internal timer. A method of specifying the current position by communication may be used. More specifically, use of a positioning system such as GPS can be mentioned. In this case, the operation information includes the position information of each route, and the current position on the route is specified by comparing the position information of each route with the position information obtained from the positioning system. A configuration may be adopted in which a GPS receiver or the like is installed on the train, and the position information is notified to the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 using a transmitter installed on the train. In the system shown in this embodiment, it is possible to specify the current position of the train using the timer function inside the auxiliary vehicle issuing device. Therefore, for the purpose of specifying the current location, communication means with the outside is used. There is no need to provide it.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the station and route that have already passed are deleted from the route map, so that the next scheduled stop and the route that is scheduled to pass are displayed separately from the station name and route that has already passed. By selecting and instructing a specific area on the display unit 300 for displaying the figure, the deleted station and route may be displayed again on the route map, or the next scheduled stop and subsequent routes It may be configured to display by distinguishing it by displaying it in a different display color from the name of the station and the route that has already passed, or the name of the station that has passed by blinking the next scheduled stop and the route scheduled to pass It may be configured to be displayed separately from the route.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the current position and the planned stop station are identified by comparing the current time obtained from the internal timer and the planned stop time of the train in the operation status detection method in the operation status detection unit 103. However, in the comparison process between the current time and the scheduled stop time, it may be configured to have an adjustment time when a train operation delay occurs. More specifically, when a train operation delay occurs, the time that is the difference from the normal operation time is input as the adjustment time, and at the time of the time comparison judgment, the time that is added to the scheduled stop time and the current time By comparing with the time, the display system of the present embodiment can be made to function normally even when a train operation delay occurs.

  In addition, as a method for inputting the adjustment time, in addition to a method for acquiring the adjustment time by an input operation by a crew member, a method for acquiring the adjustment time using a reference signal received from the outside may be used. More specifically, a reference signal transmitted from a predetermined station is received when passing through the station, and triggered by reception of the reference signal, the time of the internal timer at the time of reception and the scheduled time of operation information of the next scheduled stop station It is good also as a structure which acquires this difference value and uses this difference value as adjustment time.

  Next, the route map display process used for specifying the station name of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 in the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 according to the present embodiment. The functional configuration shown in FIG. 15 is different from the functional configuration of FIG. 2 used in the first to third embodiments in that it has an instruction input count recording unit 105 and does not have an operation status detection unit 103. The number-of-inputs recording unit 105 added in the present embodiment has a function of recording the number of times instructions are input for each station displayed on the route map.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the configuration of the fourth embodiment is different from the first to third embodiments described above in that an instruction count 705 is added to the kilometer master item. The other configurations are the same as those in the first to third embodiments, and thus the description of the other configurations in the fourth embodiment is omitted.

  With the above configuration, in this embodiment, for example, in the route map shown in FIG. 8, by selecting and instructing the route 1003, the route map of the section not displayed in the route map from “Kurume” to “Kumamoto” is displayed. (Refer to FIG. 16), which is a station name input method that enables the station name instruction input of the station of the section 1003 that is not displayed in the initial route map, and records the number of inputs for each station name.

Next, as an explanation of the operation of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 according to the fourth embodiment, first, the contents of the instruction count update process will be described with reference to FIGS. 19, 20, and 24. FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between the process of the present embodiment and the functional configuration of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the flow of the section route map display process of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device in the present embodiment. This section route map display process is started by instructing the selection of a route that connects the points of the station names on the route map displayed on the display unit 300 of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100. For example, by selecting and instructing a route indicated by an arrow 1003 (a route between Kurume and Kumamoto) in the route map shown in FIG. 8, the station name points (arrow 1001 and arrow in FIG. 8) located at both ends of the selected route. The station code registered at (point indicated by 1002) is acquired from the route map master by the man-machine I / F unit 101 and notified to the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 (S501).

  The auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 that has acquired the station codes at both ends acquires all the kilometer information belonging to the kilometer distance 703 of the stations at both ends from the kilometer master using the station name extraction unit 102 (S502). More specifically, first, kilometer information corresponding to the station codes corresponding to the points at both ends is acquired from the kilometer master 107. Next, the size of the kilometer information corresponding to the station codes at both ends is compared, and the smaller one is designated as kilometer A, and the larger one is designated as kilometer B. Furthermore, regarding the kilometer information corresponding to the route code of the kilometer information corresponding to the stations at both ends, all the kilometer information having the kilometer that is greater than kilometer A and less than kilometer B is obtained from the kilometer master. By acquiring, the kilometer information belonging to the kilometer range of the stations at both ends can be obtained.

  Next, the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 creates a section route map using the kilometer information obtained in the process S502, and displays it on the display unit 300 (S503). More specifically, the route map creation unit 104 of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device arranges the kilometer information obtained in step S502 in ascending order based on the kilometer, and the station code of the kilometer information arranged in ascending order, Registration is made in order from the point “001” in the route map master 109. Further, the route map creation unit 104 refers to the kilometer master 107 from the station code 902 registered in the route map master 109, obtains the station name 704 corresponding to the station code 902, and creates the model of the route map shown in FIG. By applying the station name 704 to each of the points 001 to 038, a section route map as shown in FIG. 16 is created. The example shown in FIG. 16 shows a display example of a section route map when a route between “Kurume” and “Kumamoto” (arrow 1003 in FIG. 8) is instructed in the route map shown in FIG.

  With the above configuration, it is possible to input an instruction for a station name in a predetermined section among station names that are not displayed in the initial route map including the train planned stop station as shown in FIG.

  Next, in the section route map shown in FIG. 16, the instruction number update operation shown in FIG. 20 is started by performing an instruction input operation for the station name. More specifically, the man-machine I / F 101 of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 detects a station name instruction input operation, acquires a station code corresponding to the instruction input point from the route map master 109, and sends it to the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100. Notification is made (S601).

  Next, the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 uses the instruction input count recording unit 105 to transmit the kilometer information having the station code 706 corresponding to the station code notified from the man-machine I / F unit 101 from the kilometer master. It is acquired (S602), and is updated by adding 1 to the instruction count 705 of the kilometer information (S603).

  The above is the contents of the instruction count update process.

  Next, route map generation and display processing used for specifying the station name of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 24. FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a flow of route map creation / display processing of the station name designation method of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device in the present embodiment. The processing from step S401 to step S402 is the same as the processing content from step S101 to step 102 in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. Note that an instruction count update process may be executed between the process S401 and the process S402. In this case, the process S402 is started after the process of the process S603. In the figure which showed the relationship between the process of a present Example shown in FIG. 24, and the function structure of the auxiliary vehicle issuing apparatus, the example which performed the update process of instruction | indication number between process S401 and process S402 is shown. .

  The auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 that has acquired the operation information from the station name extraction unit 102 in the process S402 uses the station name extraction unit 102 to store the kilometer distance information belonging to the kilometer range between the stop stations indicated by the operation information. (S403). More specifically, first, the station name extraction unit 102 of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 acquires the kilometer information 107 having the station code 702 corresponding to the station code 802 of the operation information obtained in the process S402. All kilometer information having the same value as the route code 701 of information is searched from the kilometer master. Next, the kilometer information within the kilometer range between the stop stations is acquired by deleting the kilometer information less than the kilometer information and the kilometer information exceeding the kilometer information corresponding to the operation information obtained in the process S402. For example, in the case of operation information “densya001, eki601, 8:00” indicated by an arrow 1001 in the content example of the operation master shown in FIG. 4, the content example of the kilometer master shown in FIG. 18 corresponds to the station code “eki601”. “Rosen007, eki601, 113.9, Kurume, 12” is obtained as the kilometer information having the station code, and “rosen007, eki602, 118.8, Araki, 9” “rosen007” as the kilometer information having the route code “rosen007”. , Eki603, 122.6, Nishi Kamata, 45 ”,“ rosen007, eki604, 126.1, Hainzuka, 0 ”, etc.

  Next, the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 that has acquired the kilometer information sorts the kilometer information based on the kilometer information instruction count 705 (processing S404). More specifically, by setting a predetermined reference value in advance and comparing the instruction count 705 with the reference value, only the kilometer information having the instruction count equal to or greater than the reference value is acquired. For example, when the reference value is 40, the kilometer information “rosen007, eki603, 122.6, Nishi Kamata, 45” indicated by the arrow 1004 is selected in the content example of the kilometer master shown in FIG. Another sorting method may be a method of sorting a predetermined number of kilometers of information in descending order of the number of instructions.

  Next, the route map creation unit of the auxiliary vehicle issuing device 100 creates a route map using the station code of the kilometer information obtained in step S404 and the station code of the operation information obtained in step S402, and the display unit 300 (S405). More specifically, the kilometer information having the station code 702 corresponding to the station code 802 of the operation information obtained in the process S402 is acquired from the kilometer master and merged with the kilometer information acquired in the process S404. Further, based on the kilometer 703, the kilometer information is arranged in ascending order, and the station codes of the kilometer information arranged in the ascending order are registered in association with each other in order from the point code “001” of the route map master 109. Next, by referring to the kilometer master from the station code 902 registered in the route map master 109, the station name 704 corresponding to the station code 902 is obtained, and the station name at each of the points 001 to 038 in the route map template shown in FIG. By applying 704, the route map shown in FIG. 17 is created. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the station name “Nishi Kamata” selected in step S404 is displayed between “Kurume” and “Kumamoto” as station names not displayed in the initial route map shown in FIG. 17 arrow 1004).
