[composition]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the information processing system 1 of the present embodiment. The information processing system 1 includes a plurality of wireless terminals 10 attached to a plurality of runners (objects) that perform a running competition such as a marathon, and a wireless relay mounted on at least one or more vehicles 40 (moving objects). It includes a device 20 and a server device 30 that functions as an information processing device according to the present invention. The wireless terminal 10 and the wireless relay device 20 perform wireless communication by weak wireless waves in a relatively short range according to, for example, LPWA (Low Power, Wide Area Network), but the standard of this wireless communication is not necessarily LPWA. Not limited. The network 2 is a wide area network that connects the wireless relay device 20 and the server device 30 so as to be able to communicate with each other. The network 2 is preferably, for example, a network compliant with, for example, a 4th generation mobile communication system or a 5th generation mobile communication system, but is not always limited to this.

In the present embodiment, the server device 30 collects various data related to the runner, such as position data and biometric data of the running runner, from the wireless terminal 10 via the wireless relay device 20. The wireless relay device 20 corresponds to a device called a gateway or a base station in LPWA, and the wireless terminal 10 corresponds to a device called an end device in LPWA. In LPWA, there is an upper limit to the number of wireless terminals 10 that one wireless relay device 20 can communicate with at the same time, and here, for example, it is about several tens to several hundreds. Further, in LPWA, there is an upper limit to the distance that the wireless relay device 20 can communicate with the wireless terminal 10, and here, for example, it is about several tens of meters to several kilometers.

Here, for example, when the upper limit of the distance that the wireless relay device can communicate with the wireless terminal is 1 km, the number of wireless terminals that can be accommodated by one wireless relay device is 10, and 100 runners run a marathon, the wireless relay is performed. Imagine a case where the equipment is distributed and installed and fixed on the marathon course. In this case, (42.195 ÷ 1) × (100 ÷ 10) = 430 wireless relay devices are required.

That is, the server device 30 controls the movement of each vehicle 40 equipped with the wireless relay device 20 based on the position of each runner that changes from moment to moment (that is, the position of each wireless terminal 10), whereby each runner. Data is collected via the wireless relay device 20.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the server device 30, the functions of the acquisition unit 31, the determination unit 32, and the instruction unit 33 are realized. The acquisition unit 31 acquires the data related to the runner such as the position data and the biological data from the wireless terminal 10 via the wireless relay device 20 and the network 2, and the position data of the vehicle 40 equipped with the wireless relay device 20.

Further, when the vehicle 40 automatically operates, the arrangement determined by the determination unit 32 is realized by the automatic operation of the vehicle 40.

[motion]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The procedure of each process shown in FIG. 6 is described in the program implemented in the server device 30. Processor 3001 executes this program to execute the following processing.

At the start of the marathon, a predetermined number of vehicles 40 are waiting near the starting point. The number of the vehicles 40 is calculated by the determination unit 32. Specifically, the decision unit 32 first determines the maximum value of the distance between a plurality of running runners (that is, the head of the marathon during the competition) based on the personal best time and the target time of each runner participating in the marathon. Estimate the maximum distance between the runner and the last runner). Typically, the position of each runner at the time when the first-ranked runner will reach the finish point is estimated, and the distance between the runner who will be at the end and the finish point is the maximum. Become a value. This maximum value is Lkm (here, 5 km). Further, assuming that the distance at which the wireless relay device 20 can perform wireless communication with the wireless terminal 10 is rkm (here, 0.5 km), the wireless relay device 20 has a diameter of 2r (that is, 1km) centered on its own position. ) Can communicate with the wireless terminal 10 within the range of the circle. Here, let L (5 km) ÷ 2r (1 km) = L (that is, 5) be the number of vehicles 40. Furthermore, the number of runners participating in the marathon is set to H (2000 in this case), and the position of each runner in the entire period from the start to the end of the marathon is determined based on the personal best time and target time of these H runners. Estimate and calculate the maximum value M (here, 500) of the wireless terminal 10 existing within the range of a circle of 1 km. Then, assuming that the number of wireless terminals that can be accommodated by one wireless relay device 20 is U (here, 20), (L ÷ 2r) × (M ÷ U) = (5 ÷ 1) × (500 ÷ 20) = 5 × 25 = 125 wireless relay devices 20 are required. In this case, 25 wireless relay devices 20 may be mounted on each of the five vehicles 40. Therefore, at the start of the marathon, at least five vehicles 40 each equipped with at least 25 wireless relay devices 20 will be on standby near the start point.

When the power of the wireless terminal 10 is turned on by each runner before the marathon is started, the wireless terminal 10 uses the biometric data and the position data periodically generated by the sensor and the GPS unit as the identifier of the wireless terminal 10. That is, it is transmitted wirelessly together with the runner's identifier). The position data and the biometric data are received by the wireless relay device 20 accommodating the wireless terminal 10 and transmitted to the server device 30. At this time, the wireless relay device 20 also transmits the position data generated by its own GPS unit to the server device 30.

In the server device 30, the acquisition unit 31 acquires these data from the wireless relay device 20 (step S11 in FIG. 6). That is, the acquisition unit 31 (first acquisition unit) acquires the position data and biometric data of the runner transmitted from the wireless terminal 10 via the wireless relay device 20, and the acquisition unit 31 (second acquisition unit) is wireless. The position data of the vehicle 40 equipped with the relay device 20 is acquired from the wireless relay device 20. The acquired data is stored in the server device 30, and is analyzed by a predetermined method.

The determination unit 32 uses the position data of each wireless terminal 10 acquired by the acquisition unit 31 (first acquisition unit) and the position data of each vehicle 40 acquired by the acquisition unit 34 (second acquisition unit). Based on this, the arrangement of each vehicle 40 is determined (step S12). Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 7, when there are runners R1 to Rx running from the start point S to the finish point F of the marathon, these runners depend on the density of these runners on the course. Each vehicle 40 is arranged so that the wireless terminal 10 corresponding to the above is accommodated in one of the wireless relay devices 20. That is, each vehicle 40 is densely arranged in the section where the runners are dense on the marathon course, and each vehicle 40 is also sparsely arranged in the section where the runners are sparse on the marathon course. However, at this time, each vehicle 40 is arranged so that all the wireless terminals 10 are located inside the communicable range A of the wireless relay device 20 of at least one of them. For example, the number of wireless terminals 10 that can be accommodated by the wireless relay device 20 mounted on one vehicle in order from the position of the first runner to the position of the runner from the last runner (here, 25). Each vehicle 40 is arranged at a position approximately in the center of each division (that is, it is divided into 500 people counting from the leading runner). In this way, when deciding the arrangement of each vehicle 40 using the maximum value of the distance between the first runner and the last runner, the decision unit 32 is, for example, a checkpoint provided in the middle of the marathon course or a relay relay of the relay road race. This maximum value may be derived from the passing times of the first runner and the last runner at the place.

The instruction unit 33 gives an instruction to each vehicle 40 according to the arrangement determined by the determination unit 32 (step S13). This instruction is an instruction to control the movement of each vehicle 40 so as to have a determined arrangement, for example, an instruction to instruct the degree of acceleration or deceleration to the vehicle 40. In response to this instruction, the driver of the vehicle 40 drives the vehicle 40 to realize the arrangement determined by the determination unit 32. Further, when the vehicle 40 automatically operates, the arrangement determined by the determination unit 32 is realized by the automatic operation of the vehicle 40.

According to the embodiment described above, it is possible to collect and analyze position data and biometric data related to an object called a running runner with as few resources as possible (here, a resource called a wireless relay device 20).

[Modification example]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. The above-described embodiment may be modified as follows. Further, the following two or more modified examples may be combined and carried out.

[Modification 1]
In the above-described embodiment, a running person called a runner is exemplified as a running object, but the object is not limited to this example. The object in the present invention may be, for example, a traveling animal (horse, cow, dog, etc.) or a traveling artificial object (machine such as an automobile, a bicycle, or a ship). This makes it possible to efficiently collect data on a moving object. Further, the moving body equipped with the wireless relay device 20 is not limited to the vehicle 40 exemplified in the embodiment, and may move according to the instruction of the server device 30 such as a bicycle, a motorcycle, or a flying body called a drone. It may be an object. Moreover, the communication standard exemplified in the embodiment is only an example.

[Modification 2]
In the course where the object travels, for example, when there is an obstacle such as a building at a corner, if the obstacle intervenes between the wireless terminal 10 and the wireless relay device 20, the level of wireless communication between the two will be reduced. That is, the radio wave condition may worsen. Therefore, the server device 30 includes a storage unit that stores the radio wave condition according to the positional relationship between the wireless terminal 10 and the wireless relay device 20 (that is, the moving vehicle 40) on the route on which the object travels. Keep it. Then, the determination unit 32 includes the number of wireless terminals 10 that can be accommodated by each wireless relay device 20, the position data of each wireless terminal 10 acquired by the acquisition unit 31 (first acquisition unit), and the acquisition unit 31. In addition to the position data of each vehicle 40 acquired by (second acquisition unit), the arrangement of each vehicle 40 may be determined based on the radio wave condition stored in the storage unit. Specifically, in a section where the level of the radio wave condition stored in the storage unit is less than the threshold value, the vehicle 40, which is a mobile body, may be arranged densely, or between the radio terminal 10 and the radio relay device 20. The vehicle 40 may be arranged so that an obstacle does not intervene in the vehicle. By doing so, it is possible to determine the optimum arrangement of the mobile body according to the radio wave condition between the wireless terminal 10 and the wireless relay device 20.

[Modification 3]
The radio wave condition stored in the storage unit is grasped as follows. First, in the route on which the object travels, one vehicle equipped with one wireless relay device 20 and a plurality of vehicles each equipped with a wireless terminal 10 are moved in a formation as illustrated in FIG. 8, and the movement thereof is performed. The condition of the radio wave from the wireless terminal 10 (specifically, the reception level of the radio wave, the quality of the communication connection, etc.) is measured and recorded in each wireless relay device 20 over the entire period. As a result, it is possible to obtain a radio wave condition between the radio relay device 20 at each point on the route and the radio terminal 10 located at a position L1, L2 ... Ln ahead of the radio relay device 20 in the traveling direction. .. It is desirable that a plurality of wireless terminals 10 are mounted on each vehicle. Since the propagation of radio waves is probabilistic, higher accuracy can be achieved by obtaining the probability distribution of the reception level of radio waves corresponding to a plurality of radio terminals 10.

For example, in the case of measuring using two vehicles equipped with the wireless terminal 10, as illustrated in FIG. 9, at the time of the first measurement, L1 = 500 m in FIG. 8 and L2 = 600 m are measured and recorded. At the time of the second measurement, L1 = 700 m in FIG. 8 and measurement / recording were performed with L2 = 800 m, and at the time of the third measurement, L1 = 900 m and L2 = 1000 m in FIG. 8 were measured. Make a record. The measurement data at this time is, for example, matrix data as illustrated in FIG. The value of this matrix data is the reception level, propagation loss, or their statistic (mean, variance, probability distribution, etc.). As described above, the server device 30 includes a radio terminal that moves a predetermined distance on the route on which the object travels, and a third acquisition unit that acquires a test result of the radio wave condition between the moving bodies, and is the storage unit. May store the radio wave condition based on the test result acquired by the third acquisition unit.

[Modification 4]
In the section where the level of the radio wave condition stored in the storage unit is less than the threshold value, the radio relay device 20 may be fixedly arranged. That is, the determination unit 32 may determine the arrangement of the radio relay device to be fixed in the section where the radio wave condition is equal to or less than the threshold level, based on the test result acquired by the third acquisition unit.

[Modification 5]
When the object runs in a relay format that takes over the tasuki or the baton in team units, at the relay station that takes over the baton etc., the runner who has run the old section and the runner who is planning to run the new section, or turn back It is expected that the number of runners will increase up to about twice the number of participating teams due to the concentration of runners running in the opposite direction in the neighborhood. As described above, since there is an upper limit to the number of wireless terminals 10 that can be accommodated by one wireless relay device 20, data is acquired only for the moving object when traveling in the relay format. You may. That is, when a plurality of objects travel in a relay format, the server device 30 receives the data from the wireless terminal 10 that wirelessly transmits data on the traveling object among the plurality of wireless terminals 10. May be provided with a control unit that controls the wireless relay device 20. Specifically, this control unit is among a plurality of objects according to, for example, an operator's input or automatic processing based on position prediction information calculated from the time change of the position information of each object (wireless terminal 10). The traveling object is specified, and the data is accepted only from the wireless terminal 10 that wirelessly transmits the data related to the object.

[Modification 6]
Although the server device 30 is exemplified as an example of the information processing device according to the present invention, the present invention can be applied to any computer that realizes the functional block illustrated in FIG. Further, the present invention is a method performed by the server device 30, that is, a first acquisition step of acquiring position data of a moving object, and a wireless relay that wirelessly communicates with a wireless terminal that wirelessly transmits data related to the object. The second acquisition step of acquiring the position data of at least one moving body equipped with the device, the number of wireless terminals that can be accommodated by each wireless relay device, and each wireless terminal acquired in the first acquisition step. Based on the position data and the position data of each moving object acquired in the second acquisition step, the determination step for determining the arrangement of each moving object and the determination step for each moving object are determined. It can also be considered as an information processing method characterized by having an instruction step for giving an instruction according to the arrangement.
