<Functional configuration>
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the server device 10 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the server device 10 has, as a functional configuration, a storage means 50, a reception means 52, a determination means 54, a search means 56, a prediction means 58, a proposal means 60, and an additional means 62. And the giving means 64 and the changing means 66. The storage means 50 is realized by one or more storage devices 28. A functional configuration other than the storage means 50 is realized by the control means 20 executing a program stored in the storage device 28 or the like.

The storage means 50 is, for example, a functional means for storing the web page 50A, the route information 50B, the user information 50C, and the schedule 50D.

The web page 50A includes a plurality of web pages such as a schedule list that can list the user's schedule-age and login page. The route information 50B includes, for example, the name of each route of transportation means such as a train or a bus in Japan, the departure time, arrival time, fare, etc. of the transportation means in each route. The user information 50C is associated with the identification information (user ID) of each user, and in addition to the login ID, password, user name, date of birth, gender, age, address, contact information, etc. of each user, the user information 50C is used. Information about duties (generally referred to as "user job information" including the user's work location, working hours, commuting route, etc.), information regarding preferences and behavioral tendencies related to user movement (generally referred to as "user preference information"), users Contains the movement history information of.
Schedule 50D is provided for each user, and includes location information and purpose information at the location indicated by the location information (including information such as whether the purpose is job-related or private-related, content type, importance, and travel expense bearer). , Includes the purpose start time information and end time information indicated by the purpose information. In addition, the schedule 50D includes a movement schedule between the user's schedules. This route information includes the names and fares of trains and buses.

The reception means 52 is a functional means that receives a user's schedule and stores it in the storage means 50. Specifically, the reception means 52 is a second schedule of the user including the first place information and a second schedule of the user after the first schedule, which is different from the first place information. The second schedule including the location information is received from the terminal device 12 and stored in the storage means 50 as a part of the schedule 50D of the user. Further, the receiving means 52 may acquire the user's schedule from another storage means (external storage means) different from the storage means 50 via the communication network NT and accept it as the first schedule or the second schedule. .. The first schedule and the second schedule may be the same day schedule or different day schedules, but the same day schedule is preferable. In addition to the first place information, the first schedule includes, for example, the purpose information at the place indicated by the first place information, the target start time information indicated by the purpose information, and the target end time information indicated by the purpose information. Similarly, in addition to the second place information, the second schedule includes, for example, the target information at the place indicated by the second place information, the target start time information indicated by the target information, and the target end time information indicated by the target information. ..

The determination means 54 is a functional means for determining whether or not the search start condition is satisfied. The search start condition includes, for example, a condition that there is a search instruction operation from the terminal device 12, a condition that the reception means 52 accepts the first schedule and / or the second schedule, and the reception means 52 is another storage means. The condition that the user's schedule is acquired from.

When the determination means 54 makes an affirmative determination, the search means 56 acquires the first schedule and the second schedule from the user's schedule 50D stored in the storage means 50, and based on the route information 50B, the first schedule It is a movement route from the place indicated by the first place information of the second schedule to the place indicated by the second place information of the second schedule, and can be moved between the first schedule and the second schedule (possible from departure to arrival). It is a functional means for searching a route. That is, the search means 56 uses the place indicated by the first place information as the departure place, the place indicated by the second place information as the arrival place, is after the end time of the first schedule, and is from the start time of the second schedule. Search for a travel route using the previous time as the departure time and arrival time. For example, the search means 56 searches for a movement route when the condition that the reception means 52 has received the second schedule is satisfied. Further, for example, when the search means 56 satisfies the condition that the reception means 52 acquires the user's schedule from another storage means, in other words, when the reception means 52 acquires the user's schedule from the other storage means. Search for a travel route. When three or more user schedules 50D exist, the search means 56 acquires the newly added schedule as the first schedule or the second schedule, and starts time information or end time of the newly added schedule. The existing schedule closest to the time indicated by the information may be acquired as a first schedule or a second schedule different from the newly added schedule. Further, the search means 56 acquires the set having the closest time indicated by the start time information or the end time information as the first schedule and the second schedule, or the set having no other schedule between the schedules as the first schedule and the second schedule. It may be acquired as a second schedule.

Further, when the user's schedule after the second schedule does not exist, the search means 56 is based on the route information 50B and the user information 50C, from the location indicated by the location information of the second schedule to the user's home, work place, etc. You may search for a travel route to (a predetermined address). Further, when the user's schedule prior to the first schedule does not exist, the search means 56 first starts from the user's home, work place, etc. (predetermined address) based on the route information 50B and the user information 50C. You may search the movement route to the place indicated by the place information of the schedule. In this case, the additional means 62, which will be described later, adds the search result to the user's schedule 50D as a departure schedule or a return schedule.

Further, in the search means 56, when the time between the first schedule and the second schedule is long, the number of search results increases. Therefore, from the viewpoint of suppressing the search results, the departure time as the search condition is the first schedule. It is preferable that the first set time or more is later than the time indicated by the end time information of. Further, the search means 56 preferably sets the arrival time as the search condition to be before the second set time or more than the time indicated by the start time information of the second schedule. Further, the search means 56 may extract a station or a bus stop within a predetermined distance from the place indicated by the first place information, and perform a search using the station or the bus stop.

When there are a plurality of search results of the search means 56, the prediction means 58 is a functional means for predicting the congestion status of the movement route related to the plurality of search results based on the schedules 50D of the plurality of users. For example, the prediction means 58 increments the number of users of the movement route when it can be grasped that the movement route related to the search result is passed in the schedule 50D of a user other than the user related to the search. Then, when the number of users of the travel route does not exceed the threshold value, the congestion status of the travel route is predicted as "low", and when the number of users of the travel route exceeds the threshold value, the congestion status of the travel route is "high". Predict as.

The proposing means 60 is a functional means for proposing the search result of the search means 56 to the user. Specifically, when there are a plurality of search results, the proposing means 60 may extract the search results to be proposed to the user from the plurality of search results based on the preference information related to the user's traffic. The preference information may be determined by the proposing means 60 based on the history of the user's schedule 50D (particularly the movement history of the movement schedule), or may be stored as a part of the user information 50C by an input operation from the user. May be good. For example, since the proposal means 60 uses a taxi more than 10 times a month based on the user's movement history, it can be determined that this user prefers to use a taxi as preference information, or a train that can go cheaply. Since the transfer is not used even once a month, it is determined that this user prefers to go early as preference information.

Further, when there are a plurality of search results, the proposal means 60 may extract the search results proposed to the user from the plurality of search results based on the history of the user's movement schedule, that is, the history of the movement route. For example, the proposing means 60 may extract the one using the bus from a plurality of search results when the user's use of the bus is higher than the other means of transportation by a threshold value or more. Further, the proposal means 60 extracts from a plurality of search results those using the train passing through the predetermined station when the train passing through the predetermined station is used more than a predetermined number of times than the train stopped at each station of the user. You may. Further, when there are a plurality of search results, the proposal means 60 extracts the search results to be proposed to the user from the plurality of search results based on the weather information in the time zone between the first schedule and the second schedule. For example, when the weather information indicates rain, the proposing means 60 extracts a taxi rather than a bus, or extracts a train that is expensive but has few transfers. The weather information is acquired from an external server device via the communication network NT.

Further, when there are a plurality of search results, the proposing means 60 may extract the search results to be proposed to the user from the plurality of search results based on the type of the place indicated by the second place information. For example, the proposing means 60 extracts a taxi to be used so as not to be late when the place indicated by the second place information is a company-related place. Further, for example, when the place indicated by the second place information is a game-related place such as an amusement park, the proposing means 60 extracts a place that can be cheaply reached even if there are many transfers.

Further, the proposing means 60 may extract a search result proposed to the user from a plurality of search results based on the congestion status of each movement route predicted by the predicting means 58. For example, the proposing means 60 extracts a moving route in which the congestion situation predicted by the predicting means 58 is not congested as compared with other moving routes. Further, for example, the proposing means 60 extracts a movement route in which the congestion situation (number of users) predicted by the predicting means 58 is equal to or less than the threshold value.

Further, when there are a plurality of search results, the proposal means 60 proposes (outputs) one search result most suitable for the user from the plurality of search results to the user's terminal device 12, and the user's approval cannot be obtained. In this case, a plurality of search results may be proposed (output) to the terminal device 12 of the user.

Further, the proposing means 60 refers to the target information at the place indicated by the second place information in determining one search result most suitable for the user from the plurality of search results. The purpose information includes information such as whether the purpose is job-related or private-related, content type, importance, and travel expense bearer. For example, if the purpose is job-related, if it is a content type that requires attention, or if it is of high importance, search results that include a more reliable travel route (such as traveling by train rather than a bus that is less likely to be delayed) are displayed. Judge as the best one. Further, among the plurality of search results, it is preferable to preferentially select the one that can arrive with a margin in time (for example, the one that arrives before the scheduled start time by a predetermined time or more). On the other hand, if the purpose is privately related or less important, a slightly uncertain but inexpensive travel route may be selected. In addition, if the purpose is job-related and the person who bears the travel expenses is the place of employment, it is possible to judge that the search result including the faster and more reliable travel route (taxi, etc.) is the most suitable even if the cost is high. .. On the other hand, when the purpose is less important and the person who bears the travel cost is the user, a travel route that is somewhat uncertain or takes a long time but is inexpensive may be selected.

When the target information in the place indicated by the second place information is not set as described above, or even if it is set, it is sufficient to determine one search result most suitable for the user from a plurality of search results. If it is not the content, the proposing means 60 refers to the user job information stored for each user in determining one search result most suitable for the user from the plurality of search results. The optimum search result is determined based on the relationship between the user's work location, working hours, commuting route, etc., and the travel time zone, and the weather information (including forecast information) of the day included in the user job information. To do. For example, if the user travels during the working hours on weekdays, it is presumed that the travel is for a job-related purpose, and the selection is made by giving priority to speed and certainty rather than low travel costs. On the other hand, if it is outside the user's working hours or on holidays, it is estimated that the trip is for a private purpose, and a travel route that is somewhat uncertain or takes a long time but is inexpensive should be selected. You may. Further, the user's commuting route may be taken as much as possible to reduce the travel cost or to make a selection that makes the user easier to move. Furthermore, referring to the weather information of the day, for example, in the case of bad weather, if the movement is for an important purpose, preferentially select a more reliable movement route that is not easily affected by transportation disruptions. In addition, it is preferable to preferentially select those that can arrive with a margin in time.

If the user job information is not set as described above, or if it is set but it is not enough to determine one search result that is most suitable for the user from multiple search results, it is suggested. The means 60 refers to the user preference information stored for each user in determining one search result most suitable for the user from the plurality of search results. Here, the user preference information is a preference or behavioral tendency related to the user's movement analyzed from the user's movement history information. If sufficient movement history information is accumulated, user preference information can be generated by a method such as machine learning. The proposing means 60 determines the degree of matching with the user preference information for each of the plurality of search results, and determines the one having the highest degree of matching as the optimum search result.

The additional means 62 is a functional means for storing (adding) the search result of the search means 56 in the schedule 50D of the storage means 50 as a movement schedule of the user between the first schedule and the second schedule. For example, the additional means 62 stores the search result of the search means 56 when the user's approval is obtained for the proposal by the suggestion means 60.

The granting means 64 is a functional means for giving a reward to the user when the user's approval is obtained for the proposal by the proposing means 60. Rewards include points that can be converted into other value media, bus tickets, taxi tickets, and the like.

The changing means 66 is a functional means that, when the user's first schedule or second schedule is changed, the movement schedule between them is also changed based on the changed one schedule or second schedule.

Search for. In this case, the reception means 52 acquires an ID and password for accessing the external calendar from the user information 50C. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP20.

(Step SP22)
The reception means 52 acquires the user's schedule from the external calendar from the external server device, and when the acquired schedule is not stored in the schedule 50D, the reception means 52 accepts the acquired schedule as the first schedule or the second schedule and the user's schedule. Store in a part of 50D. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP24.

(Step SP24)
The reception means 52 generates a user's schedule list page based on the web page 50A and the user's schedule 50D, and transmits the generated schedule list page to the terminal device 12. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP26.

(Step SP26)
The terminal device 12 receives the schedule list page from the server device 10. In response to this, the terminal device 12 displays the received schedule list page.

FIG. 5A is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the schedule list page 100 displayed on the terminal device 12.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the schedule list page 100 is provided with a calendar display field 102 and a daily schedule display field 104. In the display column 102, for example, the date of one week including today is described. In the display field 104, a schedule 50D of a user for a certain day is described. In FIG. 5A, as the schedule 50D, for example, the first schedule 106 is described in a form in which the purpose, place, and time (start time and end time) can be grasped.

Returning to FIG. 4, the process shifts to the process of step SP28.

(Step SP28)
The terminal device 12 acquires a schedule input page from the server device 10 when an operation such as tapping an empty frame without a schedule 50D in the display field 104 on the schedule list page 100 described above is performed, and the acquired schedule input page is obtained. Is displayed. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP30.

(Step SP30)

--- Second embodiment ---
Next, the second embodiment will be described.
<Overall configuration>
Similar to the first embodiment, the schedule management system according to the second embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as “the present embodiment”) includes the server device shown in FIG. 1, one or more terminal devices, and the like. To be equipped. These configurations and operations are the same as those of the first embodiment described above.

<Hardware configuration>
The server device in the schedule management system of the present embodiment has the hardware configuration shown in FIG. 2 as in the first embodiment.

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an example of a server device functional configuration in the schedule management system of the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 9, the server device includes storage means 50, reception means 52, determination means 54, search means 56, and proposal means 60 as functional configurations. The storage means 50 is realized by one or more storage devices 28. A functional configuration other than the storage means 50 is realized by the control means 20 executing a program stored in the storage device 28 or the like.

The storage means 50 is, for example, a functional means for storing the web page 50A, the route information 50B, the user information 50C, and the schedule 50D. Since these stored contents are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

The reception means 52 is a functional means that receives designations of two arbitrary locations (start point and end point) from the user's terminal device and stores them in the storage means 50. Designated locations are typically, but are not limited to, train stations, bus stops, facilities, and the like.

The determination means 54 is a functional means for determining whether or not the search start condition is satisfied. When the user's terminal device gives an instruction operation for route search between the two specified locations, it means that the search start condition is satisfied.

When the determination means 54 makes an affirmative determination, the search means 56 acquires two designated locations stored in the storage means 50, and can move from the start point location to the end point location based on the route information 50B. It is a functional means to search for a travel route (possible from departure to arrival).

The proposing means 60 is a functional means for proposing the search result of the search means 56 to the user. Specifically, when there are a plurality of search results, the proposing means 60 extracts the search results to be proposed to the user from the plurality of search results based on the preference information related to the user's traffic. The preference information may be determined by the proposing means 60 based on the history of the user's schedule 50D (particularly the movement history of the movement schedule), or may be stored as a part of the user information 50C by an input operation from the user. May be good. For example, since the proposal means 60 uses a taxi more than 10 times a month based on the user's movement history, it can be determined that this user prefers to use a taxi as preference information, or a train that can go cheaply. Since the transfer is not used even once a month, it is determined that this user prefers to go early as preference information.

Further, when there are a plurality of search results, the proposal means 60 may extract the search results proposed to the user from the plurality of search results based on the history of the user's movement schedule, that is, the history of the movement route. For example, the proposing means 60 may extract the one using the bus from a plurality of search results when the user's use of the bus is higher than the other means of transportation by a threshold value or more. Further, the proposal means 60 extracts from a plurality of search results those using the train passing through the predetermined station when the train passing through the predetermined station is used more than a predetermined number of times than the train stopped at each station of the user. You may.

Further, when there are a plurality of search results, the proposal means 60 proposes (outputs) one search result most suitable for the user from the plurality of search results to the user's terminal device 12, and the user's approval cannot be obtained. In this case, a plurality of search results may be proposed (output) to the terminal device 12 of the user.

Alternatively, the proposing means 60 can refer to the user preference information stored for each user in determining one search result most suitable for the user from the plurality of search results. Here, the user preference information is a preference or behavioral tendency related to the user's movement analyzed from the user's movement history information. If sufficient movement history information is accumulated, user preference information can be generated by a method such as machine learning. The proposing means 60 determines the degree of matching with the user preference information for each of the plurality of search results, and determines the one having the highest degree of matching as the optimum search result.

<Processing flow>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing flow in which a movement route between a start point and an end point is searched and proposed in response to a designation of a start point / end point location from a user terminal in the schedule management system of the present embodiment. The order and contents of the following steps can be changed as appropriate.

(Step SP80)
The terminal device transmits the start point / end point location to the server device 10. Here, the user may directly input the start point / end point location in the terminal device 12, or may select a location stored in the terminal device 12 in advance. Alternatively, the start point / end point displayed on the external route search service used by the user via the web browser of the terminal device 12 may be specified and transmitted. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP82.

(Step SP82)
The server device 10 determines whether or not the search start condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, when the start point / end point location is received from the terminal device 12, the search start condition is satisfied. If the above determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP84, and if the determination is negative, the process ends a series of processes shown in FIG.

(Step SP84)
The search means 56 searches for a movable movement route from the acquired start point location to the acquired end point location based on the route information 50B. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP86.

(Step SP86)
When there are a plurality of search results, the proposing means 60 extracts one or a plurality of search results to be proposed to the user from the plurality of search results based on the user's preference information. In the present embodiment, the proposing means 60 extracts one search result that is most suitable for the user. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP88.

(Step SP88)
The proposal means 60 generates a proposal page based on the extracted search results. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP90.

(Step SP90)
The proposal means 60 transmits the generated proposal page to the terminal device 12. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP92.

(Step SP92)
The terminal device 12 receives the proposal page from the server device 10. In response to this, the terminal device 12 displays the received proposal page. The displayed proposal page is similar to that shown in FIG. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP94.

(Step SP94)
The terminal device 12 transmits the operation content of the user on the proposal page (the operation content of pressing the approval button, the operation content of pressing the cancel button) to the server device 10. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP96.

(Step SP96)
The server device 10 receives the operation content from the terminal device 12. In response to this, the determination means 54 of the server device 10 determines whether or not the approval button has been pressed, that is, whether or not the proposal has been approved, based on the operation content. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process ends a series of processes shown in FIG. If the determination is negative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP98.

(Step SP98)
The proposal means 60 generates an alternative page including all the search results searched by the search means 56 (suggests), and transmits the alternative page to the terminal device 12. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP100.

(Step SP100)
The terminal device 12 receives an alternative page from the server device 10. In response, the terminal device 12 displays the received alternative page. After that, a series of processes shown in FIG. 10 is completed.

<Effect>
As described above, in the present embodiment, the program can use any computer provided with a storage means 50 for storing the user's movement history information and the user's preference information regarding the user's movement and behavioral tendency obtained based on the movement history information. The reception means 52 that accepts the designation of two places, the search means 56 that searches for a movable movement route from one place to another place among the two designated places, and the search result of the search means are described above. Proposal means to propose to the user, when a plurality of the search results exist, a proposal to extract the search results to be proposed to the user from the plurality of search results based on the user preference information and propose to the user. It functions as means 60.

According to this configuration, even in a situation where the schedule management function in the schedule management system is not used, the user can search for a movement route between any two places and receive a proposal of the optimum movement route. At this time, among a plurality of search results of the movement route based on the information on the user's movement preference and behavior tendency extracted from the user's past movement history accumulated by the schedule management system, that is, the user preference information. Therefore, it is possible to propose a movement route suitable for the user's taste. Further, the proposal means 60 may extract the search result to be proposed to the user from a plurality of search results and propose it to the user based on the user preference information and the purpose information at the place indicated by the second place information. .. For example, even if the proposal means 60 indicates that the user preference information does not like to go early, if the purpose information is a meeting, the proposal means 60 proposes a movement route using a taxi or the user preference information is early. Even if it indicates that you prefer to go, if the purpose information is private such as drinking, you may propose a travel route using a train or bus.
