The information processing system according to the present embodiment is intended to output information about the bus route being boarded in an easy-to-understand manner after the user gets on the bus. In the following explanation, a bus generally refers to a means of transportation that operates on a road and allows customers to get on and off at a predetermined bus stop (station), etc. In addition to so-called fixed-route buses, road trains and others. It is a concept that includes transportation that will operate in the same way in the future. In addition, the bus stop is simply referred to as a "stop" in the following description.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a function of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 2 and a server 3. The terminal device 2 and the server 3 are communicably connected to each other via the network 4. At least a part of the terminal device 2 and the server 3 can be realized by a computer. The network 4 is, for example, an Internet line, which may be a wired line or a wireless line, regardless of the type and form of the line and the communication method.

The terminal device 2 is a device used by the user, and is, for example, an information processing terminal such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a personal computer, or a tablet terminal. The terminal device 2 includes a control unit 21, a communication unit 22, a storage unit 23, an operation unit 24, and a display unit 25.

The control unit 21 includes a position information acquisition unit 211, a traveling direction detection unit 212, a stop information reception unit 213, and an information output unit 214, and controls the terminal device 2. It should be noted that each part of the control unit 21 may or is implemented so that the processor in the terminal device 2 executes a predetermined program and the processing by the software is concretely realized by using the hardware resources. It may be realized by the hardware itself. Further, the control is not limited to the above, and a unit having another function of controlling the terminal device 2 may be provided.

The position information acquisition unit 211 functions as a means for acquiring the existing position information of the terminal device 2. The position information acquisition unit 211 is a positioning system that acquires position information using, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System). Other satellite navigation systems (NSS: Navigation Satellite Systems) may be used instead of GPS. In another example, it may be a positioning system that receives radio waves such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark) or a beacon and acquires the position information by reading the position information of the device that transmitted the radio waves. The positioning system is not limited to these, and any system may be used as long as it uses a positioning method in which the error is not so large (for example, the error is about 20 m or less). As yet another example, a positioning system may be mounted on the vehicle in which the vehicle is on board so that information on the positioning system can be received.

The position information acquisition unit 211 acquires position information every predetermined time, for example, every 5 seconds. This predetermined time is an example, and may be 1 second, 10 seconds or more, and is not limited to these, and the performance of the terminal device 2 or the error of the positioning system. It may be determined by the degree, or may be dynamically determined based on the battery consumption related to the acquisition of the position information of the terminal device 2 or the remaining amount of the battery at the time of positioning. .. Further, this positioning does not have to be performed exactly at the same time interval, and may have an error.

Further, instead of acquiring the location information at predetermined time intervals, the location information may be acquired when the user explicitly requests the location information acquisition. In this case, the position information acquisition unit 211 may operate as a position information acquisition request receiving means for receiving a user's position information acquisition request. In addition to explicitly requesting the acquisition of location information by the user, the location information may be automatically acquired at the timing when the user performs some operation, for example, a tap operation in the operation unit 24 of the information processing system 1. good.

Further, the position information may be acquired at predetermined intervals and the position information may be acquired based on the user's operation. By doing so, the terminal device 2 can acquire the position information at the timing when the user performs the operation together with the position information automatically acquired, and is more accurate at the timing when the user performs the operation. It is possible to output information based on various location information.

The position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 211 may be stored in the storage unit 23. It is possible to detect the transition state of the position information of the terminal device 2 based on the past position information stored in the storage unit 23 and the acquired position information. At this time, a predetermined number of past position information may be stored in chronological order. This predetermined number may be at least 1, and when storing one position information, for example, the latest position information among the position information acquired in the past is stored. Further, in order to set the predetermined number to 2 or more and improve the detection accuracy of the transition state of the position information, the position information acquired in the past may be stored in chronological order from the newest one. For example, by using a ring buffer, a plurality of position information can be efficiently stored.

When the position information is stored in the storage unit 23, the stored position information is not updated if the difference in distance between the acquired position information and the position information acquired at the previous timing is about an error. You may do so. By doing so, for example, it is possible to omit updating the position information while the vehicle is stopped.

The traveling direction detecting unit 212 operates as a traveling direction detecting means for detecting the traveling direction of the vehicle based on a plurality of current or past position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 211. For example, if there is a position deviation between the acquired latest position information and the previous position information in chronological order that is not recognized as an error, the latest position information from the previous position information The terminal device 2, that is, the traveling direction is detected as if the vehicle is traveling in the direction toward the direction.

The detected traveling direction may be stored in the storage unit 23. The direction of travel is newly detected at the timing of acquisition of the next position information. At this timing, if the direction does not contradict the traveling direction stored in the storage unit 23, for example, the traveling direction does not go backward from the traveling direction up to the latest, the traveling direction is updated as a new traveling direction.

However, at a stop such as in front of a railway station, the direction of travel may change in the direction of going backwards after the stop. In order to deal with such a case, instead of detecting the traveling direction from two position information, the traveling direction may be detected from three or more position information acquired now and in the past. By doing so, it is possible to improve the accuracy of detecting the traveling direction even when the traveling direction changes significantly, and it is possible to detect the robust traveling direction even with respect to the acquisition error of the position information. Is possible.

As another example, a plurality of past traveling directions may be stored in the storage unit 23. It is also possible to determine whether or not the most recently detected travel directions are consistent from a plurality of stored travel direction data. Further, after the route to which the vehicle on board is estimated is estimated by the function described later, it may be determined whether or not the position information and the traveling direction information are consistent with the route information.

The bus stop information receiving unit 213 operates as a bus stop information receiving means for receiving the bus stop information input by the user. The display unit 25 of the terminal device 2 may display information that is more convenient for the user based on the bus stop information that is scheduled to be disembarked, which is received by the bus stop information reception unit 213.

This display is executed by the information output unit 214. The information displayed is, for example, the expected time required from the current position to the accepted stop, the number of stops stopped from the current position to the accepted stop, or the accepted stop is the stop scheduled to disembark. If the bus is located at one bus stop, a notification to press the get-off button will be displayed. One piece of information may be output, or a plurality of pieces of information may be output at the same timing.

The information output unit 214 serves as an output means for outputting to the user the result of detection or calculation by the control unit 21 of the terminal device 2 as described above, or the information transmitted from the server 3 via the display unit 25. Operate. The information output unit 214 converts the acquired information or the like into a video signal or a character signal and outputs the information to the display unit 25. Further, when the information already displayed is updated, the information output unit 214 updates the information displayed on the display unit 25 based on the updated information.

The information output unit 214 may convert the information into an audio signal and output the information via a speaker or the like. Further, when the information on the getting-off stop is acquired, the terminal device 2 may be vibrated by converting it into a signal that vibrates the vibrator or the like mounted on the terminal device 2.

The communication unit 22 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information between the control unit 21 and the server 3 via the network 4. The storage unit 23 stores a program for operating the control unit 21, data handled by the control unit 21, and the like. The operation unit 24 is an interface for a user to input information to the terminal device 2, and is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, a button, or the like. The display unit 25 is a video display means such as a liquid crystal display, and outputs various information from the terminal device 2 to the user. When the operation unit 24 is a touch panel, the operation unit 24 may also serve as the display unit 25.

The server 3 is a device that performs a search based on an input from a user, and includes a control unit 31, a communication unit 33, and a storage unit 32.

The control unit 31 includes a route information search unit 311, an in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312, and a spot information acquisition unit 313, and controls the server 3. It should be noted that each part of the control unit 31 may or is implemented so that the processor in the server 3 executes a predetermined program and the processing by the software is concretely realized by using the hardware resources. It may be realized by the hardware itself. Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned control, and may include other units for controlling the server 3.

The route information search unit 311 operates as a route information search means for searching route information based on the position information transmitted from the terminal device 2. The position information may be input by the user, may be positioned by the position information acquisition unit 211, or may be acquired from information about the user such as the user's past search history. It may be a thing. The route information search unit 311 searches for information on stops or routes around the location from these location information.

The route information search unit 311 further outputs the searched route information and stop information on a map, transmits the information to the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 33, and displays the terminal device 2 25. It may be displayed in. By doing so, for example, based on the position information positioned by the terminal device 2, the route information around the position where the terminal device 2 exists is output from the display unit 25. In the following description, the route information search unit 311 and the in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312 are described as different, but the in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312 has the function of the route information search unit 311. May be.

The in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312 acquires the in-use route candidate, which is a candidate for the route to which the vehicle on board belongs, from the position information transmitted from the terminal device 2 and the route information searched by the route information search unit 311. Operates as a means of acquiring middle route candidates. For example, when there is only one route around the terminal device 2 searched by the route information search unit 311, the route is extracted as a candidate route in use.

When there are a plurality of routes around the terminal device 2 searched by the route information search unit 311, the route candidate in use is estimated using at least one of the searched stop information and the route information. When a plurality of past and present position information is received from the terminal device 2, a plausible route is extracted as an in-use route candidate based on the plurality of position information.

For example, when the position information of the terminal device 2 and the route information are compared, the route of the route and the position information of the terminal device 2 follow a similar route, and other similar routes are used. If there is no route to follow, the route is extracted and acquired as a candidate for the route in use. As another example, when the position information of the terminal device 2 stops or passes at a position recognized as a stop, such a stop is extracted. Then, by extracting a plurality of such stops, the routes passing through these the plurality of stops are extracted and acquired as active route candidates. The extraction method is not limited to this, and other methods may be used to extract the route candidates in use.

As a result, when a plurality of routes are extracted as candidates, these plurality of routes may be used as candidates for the route in use. In this case, for example, based on the position information transmitted by the terminal device 2, if it can be estimated that the number of candidates for the route on which the passenger is riding is reduced at the timing of passing the branch point or the like, the number of candidates is being reduced. Extract route candidates. By doing so, it becomes possible to cope with the case where vehicles on a plurality of routes operate on the same route.

Based on the position information transmitted from the terminal device 2, the spot information acquisition unit 313 stores information associated with the bus stop that is a candidate for the route in use and is around the position where the vehicle is located. It operates as a spot information acquisition means to be acquired as spot information about the bus stop from the spot database 322 of 32. The spot information acquisition unit 313 acquires, for example, information about the area around the bus stop where the vehicle on board is scheduled to stop.

Examples of the spot information to be acquired include tourist spot information, information on facilities such as stores or medical institutions around the route or bus stop, and information on companies around the route or bus stop. When acquiring such information, information based on the time information may be further acquired. By doing so, it is possible to output information close to real time to the user. Further, by visually outputting these information via the display unit 25, the user can see the output result as visual information.

The storage unit 32 is a database for storing various data, and includes a route database 321 and a spot database 322. The storage unit 32 can be configured by any storage device such as a hard disk or a non-volatile semiconductor memory (SSD or the like). Further, although the storage unit 32 is assumed to be in the server 3 in the drawing, it is communicably connected to the information processing system 1 as an independent server such as a database server or a file server different from the control unit 31. It may be provided in another device.

The route database 321 is a database used when searching for bus route information. The route database 321 may include only the bus route information of a predetermined bus operator as the bus route information, or may include the bus route information of a plurality of operators. good. If it has information on bus routes of multiple operators, it is possible to use the same database as general route information search. On the other hand, if it includes only bus routes limited to a predetermined bus operator, it is possible to reduce the data storage capacity and speed up the search when providing services for the predetermined bus operator. It is possible.

Further, the route database 321 may include information such as a timetable of a bus route. In addition to this, the route database 321 may further include at least one of a map information database and a POI (Point of Interest) information database.

When the map information database and the POI information database are provided, they may be stored in a storage location different from the route database 321. The map information database is used for display or for point search such as free word search and category search.

The spot database 322 is a database that stores information related to various facilities and the like in association with location information. The spot database 322 may use the above POI database. In addition to the route information, a database that collects information around the bus stop in more detail than the POI database may be used.

The stored information is based on the name of the facility, the location information such as the address or telephone number, the explanatory information of the facility, the information for acquiring the information of the facility such as the URI in detail, and the time information of the facility. Information. The information based on the time information is, for example, information such as a time sale being held at a certain store during a certain time period, or information such as a happy hour being applied at a certain store during a certain time period. In addition to this information, for example, in the case of a tourist spot, open information such as the time when the tourist spot can be visited and in the case of a store, the time when the store is open may be stored. In yet another example, in a certain facility, information regarding a specific date and time, such as an event being held at a certain date and time, or information such as an event held according to a season or time may be stored.

The communication unit 33 receives the information about the destination output from the terminal device 2, and outputs the information acquired by the control unit 31 to the terminal device 2. The information acquired by the control unit 31 is information including at least information on the route or the bus stop, and may be information including information on the vicinity of the bus stop as described above.

Next, a display example of the terminal device 2 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a map displayed on the display unit 25 of the terminal device 2 in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, a map display area 250 is provided in the display unit 25.

In the map display area 250, white circles indicate stops, and solid lines connecting the stops along the roads shown on the map indicate each bus route. In this way, within the map display area 250, the bus stop and the bus route are also displayed on the map.

The position indicated by the double circle in the center is the position where the terminal device 2 currently exists. On the map, the bus route that may be on board at the position is displayed so as to be distinguishable from other bus routes based on the position of the terminal device 2. Further, in FIG. 2, the time taken from the current position to the stop available on these bus routes is output. This time notation displays, for example, the time acquired as a result of performing an average search as the time taken on average without considering the current movement of the vehicle.

In FIG. 2, for example, the bus routes 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D are presumed in-use route candidates to which the vehicle on which the bus routes belong belongs. In this example, it is assumed that the user has boarded from the bus stop A3. It can be read from the display on the map that it takes 13 minutes from the bus stop A3 to, for example, the bus stop A1 and 10 minutes to the bus stop C4. That is, the number written in the white circle indicates the time [minutes] required to reach the bus stop. The required time to this stop may be the required time starting from the current position acquired by the position information acquisition unit 211, or the required time starting from the next stop to be stopped. Alternatively, both of these required times may be combined and output.

Bus routes other than the candidate routes in use are also displayed on the map. However, since the bus route of the bus route candidate for the route being used is displayed in an identifiable manner in comparison with the bus route which is not the candidate route being used, a certain bus route is a candidate route being used at the current position of the terminal device 2. It is easy to read from the route map shown on the map whether or not it is.

For example, it can be read from the map shown in the map display area 250 that each of the stops E10 to E14 of the bus line 51E cannot be reached without changing from the bus line estimated to be currently on board. Can be done. Similarly, stops that cannot be boarded or disembarked on bus routes that are candidates for the route being used at the position of the terminal device 2, such as stops F2 to F6 on the bus route 51F, that is, stops on bus routes other than the bus route that passes through the current position. Information may also be output.

In addition, in FIG. 2, in addition to the map display area 250, a search condition input area 251 and a search button 252 may be provided. In the search condition input area 251, for example, when it is desired to specify a stop to get off, information related to a position such as a place name or POI is input, and the information of the stop is displayed on a map by selecting the search button 252. .. As described above, the displayed information may be information such as the time required to get off at the bus stop, or spot information around the bus stop.

As another example, when information related to the location of a bus route that is not a candidate for a route in use or the position of POI, etc. is input, how to transfer from the bus route currently on board is input. The route information search unit 311 may search the route database 321 to see if it is possible to reach the position and display it.

In FIG. 2, there is a blank portion in the display unit 25 around the map display area 250, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the map may be displayed on the entire display portion of the display unit 25. For example, when the operation unit 24 also serves as the display unit 25, the search condition input area 251 and the like are displayed on the screen by flicking from the upper outside to the inside of the display area of the display unit 25. May be good. Not limited to the flick operation, it may be displayed in the same manner by tapping or clicking the upper part of the screen. In addition, these operations may be performed by commonly performed operations. Further, the search condition input area 251 and the search button 252 may be displayed so as to be superimposed on the map displayed in the map display area 250. Further, the information displayed on the display unit 25 is not limited to these information, for example, a button for issuing a request to the terminal device 2 or the server 3 to display the timetable of the bus of the route candidate being used. May be placed.

(First Embodiment)
Next, the forms of various operations will be described in detail. First, the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment extracts the in-use route candidate based on the current position of the terminal device 2, and outputs the information of the in-use route candidate. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment.

First, the position information acquisition unit 211 of the terminal device 2 acquires the position information (step S100). When the position information is stored in the storage unit 23, the position information acquired at this timing may be stored in the storage unit 23.

Next, the position information acquisition unit 211 transmits the acquired position information to the server 3 via the communication unit 22 (step S101).

The route information search unit 311 of the server 3 that has received the position information from the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 33 searches for the route information based on the received position information (step S200). The search for route information based on the location information is executed, for example, by acquiring a bus route operating around the location from the route database 321. The search for a bus route to be operated is executed, for example, by searching for a bus route having a route around the position based on the route information of the bus route. As another example, the bus route may be acquired from the information of the bus stop around the position.

The periphery of the position may be changed according to the size of the map displayed on the terminal device 2, for example, so that the search may be performed within a range displayed in the map display area 250. As another example, the search is performed in a range larger (or smaller) than that displayed in the map display area 250, and a position farther (or closer) to the terminal device 2 than the distance displayed in the map display area 250 is operated. You may try to search for the bus route to be used.

Next, the route information search unit 311 transmits the searched route information to the terminal device 2 (step S201).

The information output unit 214 that has acquired the route information from the server 3 outputs the acquired bus route information to the display unit 25 (step S102). At this time, a map of the surrounding area may be displayed based on the position information acquired in step S100 in advance, and the bus route information received on the map may be output, or the bus route information may be received. After that, the map may be displayed based on the location information and the bus route information may also be output.

In parallel with step S102, on the server 3 side, the in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312 extracts and acquires the information of the in-use route candidate on which the user who currently has the terminal device 2 is riding (step S202). ).

In this extraction, among the bus routes searched in step S200, the information of the bus route operating at the position closest to the received position information may be acquired as the in-use route candidate information. When there is a plurality of information on bus routes operating at the nearest position, information on a plurality of routes may be acquired as information on candidate routes in use. If it cannot be determined that the information is based only on the latest location information, for example, the past location information stored in the storage unit 32 is also used, and the information on the bus route that commonly operates near the location is used. It may be acquired as the information of.

Next, the in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312 transmits the acquired in-use route candidate information to the terminal device 2 (step S203).

The process of step S202 may be performed on the terminal device 2 side, and in this case, the process of step S203 is not essential. That is, the in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312 may be provided in the terminal device 2 instead of the server 3.

The terminal device 2 that has received the in-use route candidate information outputs the received in-use route candidate information by superimposing it on the route information output in step S102 (step S103). At this time, the route candidate being used and other routes are output in a distinguishable manner. For example, a bus route that is a candidate for an in-use route is displayed as a thick solid line on the map and another bus route is displayed as a thin line, or a bus route that is a candidate for an in-use route is displayed as a solid line and another bus. The display should be easy to understand when the user looks at the map, such as displaying the route with a broken line. Not limited to these, the color of the bus route that is a candidate for the route in use may be changed, blinked, or the color of another bus route may be lightened, and it may be displayed in a distinguishable manner. Further, it is not always necessary to display another bus route, and in this case, for example, the output may be made in a manner that can be distinguished from a road or the like that the route candidate in use does not pass through.

Further, as another example, without outputting the route information in step S102, the information output unit 214 receives the candidate route information, and then the same information on the bus route of the candidate route and the information of the other bus routes. It may be output at the timing.

At the timing of first outputting the map and the route, for example, when the application is started, the location information transmission (step S101) and the route information search (step S200) are executed, but the map is once executed. At the timing after is displayed, the process of transmitting the position information (step S101), searching for the route information (step S200), and transmitting the route information (step S201) is always executed every time the position information is acquired. It doesn't have to be. That is, it is possible to omit the processing of steps S200 and S201 at the timing when the position information of the terminal device 2 is updated. By doing so, it is possible to suppress excess communication and the like.

The same applies to the acquisition of the route candidate information in use, and it is not always necessary to perform the processes of steps S22 and S203 each time the position information is acquired. For example, by equipping the terminal device 2 with the route candidate acquisition unit 312 in use as described above, the server 3 searches for the route information in the vicinity at the timing when the position information is first acquired, and the searched information is obtained. Is transmitted to the terminal device 2, and the route information received in the terminal device 2 is stored in the storage unit 23, so that the above display can be updated in a closed environment in the terminal device 2. be.

For example, when the position of the terminal device 2 is output near the center of the map display area 250, it is displayed based on the acquired position information and the route information stored in the storage unit 23 at the timing of acquiring the position information. The map is shifted on the terminal device 2 side, adjusted so that the current location is near the center, and output. By doing so, it is possible to suppress communication between the terminal device 2 and the server 3.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a map display area 250 of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment. In the example of FIG. 4, the bus route that is a candidate route in use is shown by a thick solid line, and the other bus routes are shown by a thin solid line. When the terminal device 2 is currently stopped at a position, for example, stop A3, bus routes 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D are extracted as in-use route candidates and displayed so as to be distinguishable from other bus routes. Will be done.

Further, for these bus routes 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D, it may be displayed so that the user can identify that each route is a different route. For example, the colors of these lines may be changed or the line types to be displayed may be displayed as different lines to explicitly indicate that they are different lines.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a case where the vehicle moves from the state of FIG. 4, that is, the terminal device 2 also moves with the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, when the current position is located between the bus stop A3 and the bus stop A4, the bus route 50C is excluded from the bus route candidate in use and is distinguished from the bus route of the candidate route in use. It is dynamically changed to a thin solid line so that it can be done.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, based on the position of the vehicle on board, the candidate bus route to which the vehicle on board belongs is output on the map in a manner that can be distinguished from other bus routes. Is possible. The user can clearly know the information about the route candidate in use on the output map, can clearly know the destination of the bus on board, or can narrow down the destination of the bus on board. ..

In this embodiment, the traveling direction information, the disembarkation stop information, and the spot information are not particularly required, so that the traveling direction detection unit 212, the stop information reception unit 213, the spot information acquisition unit 313, and the spot database 322 provide information. It is not an essential configuration for the processing system 1.

(Second Embodiment)
The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment outputs information on the required time to each stop for the extracted candidate routes in use. When outputting the required time, as in the above-described embodiment, the required time is output after displaying the bus route of the candidate route in use so that it can be clearly distinguished from other bus routes. May be good.

The flow of processing according to this embodiment is the same as the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 described above for the processing up to step S102 in the terminal device 2 and the processing up to step S201 in the server 3.

After the route information search unit 311 transmits the route information to the terminal device 2 (step S201), the in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312 acquires the in-use route candidate information (step S202). Here, in the present embodiment, regarding the route candidate information in use, not only the route but also the required time from the received current position to each stop where the bus route extracted as the candidate for the route in use can be disembarked. get.

The required time is acquired, for example, based on the timetable information stored in the route database 321. The time required between each stop may be stored in the route database 321 instead of the timetable information. Alternatively, the required time from a certain stop, for example, the stop that is the starting point of the bus route to each stop is stored, and the required time from the current position to each stop is calculated based on the required time. May be good.

Further, the required time may be calculated based on the road traffic information at the timing of outputting the required time. For example, when a traffic jam is occurring, the required time may be added and output accordingly. As the information on the occurrence of traffic congestion, information posted by other users, information existing on the cloud, information updated by an organization related to road traffic, or the like may be referred to.

The in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312 transmits the in-use route candidate information including the time required to each stop thus acquired to the terminal device 2 (step S203).

The terminal device 2 that has acquired the in-use route candidate information outputs the route information so that the bus route related to the in-use route candidate and the other bus routes can be distinguished as in the above-described embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the time required to reach each stop is also output at the position of each stop (step S103).

It is also possible to dynamically change the display of the required time each time the position information acquisition unit 211 updates the position information. Also in this case, similarly to the first embodiment described above, by storing the route information in the storage unit 23, the display may be updated without communicating with the server 3 in the terminal device 2.

For example, when the position information moves from the bus stop A3 to the bus stop A4 from the state shown in FIG. 2, the state shown in FIG. 6 is obtained. For example, it can be read from the display on the map that it takes 15 minutes to reach the stop A1 and 1 minute to reach the stop A4. For other stops, the displayed required time is dynamically changed.

When the required time is dynamically updated, it is not necessary to dynamically update the position information at each acquisition timing as shown in FIG. 6, and it may be updated at predetermined acquisition intervals. As another example, it may be updated when it is determined that the current position has arrived at the bus stop based on the acquired position information. By doing so, each time the bus arrives at a bus stop, the displayed required time information is updated and output as the required time from the bus stop to each bus stop.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, not only the bus routes that are candidates for the route being used are displayed in an easy-to-understand manner, but also the time required from the current position to each stop that can be disembarked on the bus route that is a candidate for the route being used. Is displayed. By displaying in this way, the user can dynamically acquire the required time to the destination.

Similar to the above-described embodiment, in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the traveling direction detection unit 212, the stop information reception unit 213, the spot information acquisition unit 313, and the spot database 322 are not essential configurations. ..

(Third Embodiment)
The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment dynamically updates the information displayed on the map according to the traveling direction detected by the traveling direction detecting unit 212. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing according to the present embodiment.

The difference from each of the above-described embodiments is that the process of detecting the traveling direction (step S105) is performed after the acquisition of the position information (step S100) and before the output of the in-use route candidate information (step S103). It is a point that has been added.

The traveling direction detecting unit 212 detects the traveling direction of the vehicle and the terminal device 2 based on the acquired current or past position information. When the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 211 is stored in the storage unit 23 at the acquisition timing, the traveling direction detection unit 212 uses the position information data stored in the storage unit 23 to store the current position. It is calculated from which direction the terminal device 2 moved to is moved, and the traveling direction is detected. Further, after detecting the traveling direction, the latest acquired position information may be stored in the storage unit 23.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a route on a map output to the display unit 25 of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, regarding the bus route of the candidate route, the front in the traveling direction is indicated by a thick solid line, and the rear in the traveling direction is indicated by a thin solid line. For example, it is displayed that either the bus route 50A or 50D is a candidate route and the vehicle is in the direction from the bus stop A4 to the bus stop A5.

In this way, by dynamically changing and outputting so that the front in the traveling direction and the rear in the traveling direction can be distinguished, it is possible to display the information in front of the traveling direction of the vehicle on board more clearly. Become. In addition, the display of this route may be dynamically updated along with the update of the location information.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another example of the route on the map output to the display unit 25 of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment. Unlike FIG. 8, FIG. 9 shows the time required to reach each stop on the bus routes 50A and 50D, which are candidates for the route being used. In this way, it is possible to output so that the front route and the rear route can be distinguished together with the traveling direction, and also output the required time information. In this case, in addition to the above-mentioned route update, further, as in the above-mentioned second embodiment, the time required information to each of the displayed stops may be dynamically updated along with the update of the location information. good.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, based on the plurality of position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 211, the traveling direction of the vehicle on board is detected and output to the display unit 25 according to the traveling direction. By dynamically updating the display, the user can confirm the route information of the vehicle on board more clearly.

In FIG. 7, the terminal device 2 transmits the position information to the server 3, and then the traveling direction detection processing is performed, but the order of these processing is not limited to this. The execution of the traveling direction detection process may be performed after the position information acquisition unit 211 has acquired the position information and before the information output unit 214 outputs the in-use route candidate information.

Further, as a process different from the acquisition of the position information, for example, the acquisition process of the position information and the detection process of the traveling direction may be executed by parallel processing in the terminal device 2. In this case, regardless of the timing of the position information acquisition process, for example, the information output unit 214 may detect the traveling direction before outputting the in-use route candidate information. In this case, the traveling direction detecting unit 212 may detect the traveling direction based on the past position information stored in the storage unit 23.

Further, not limited to the above, the position information acquisition process, the traveling direction detection process, and the route candidate information output process being used are executed as parallel processes, that is, the respective processes are executed asynchronously and independently. May be. In this case, for example, the position information and the traveling direction information are uniquely stored in the storage unit 23, and are read out in the process in which the information is required. The exchange of information is not limited to that by the storage unit 23, and asynchronous communication may be performed between the processes, or other methods may be used. Of course, if an error or the like occurs in any of the processes, the exception process may be executed. By doing so, it is not necessary to synchronize each process, and smoother output can be performed. Furthermore, if the user is permitted to store the location information in the server 3, the server 3 may detect the traveling direction. In this case, the traveling direction detecting unit 212 may be provided in the server 3.

In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the stop information reception unit 213, the spot information acquisition unit 313, and the spot database 322 are not essential configurations.

(Fourth Embodiment)
The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment outputs information about the bus stop to be disembarked on the map, assuming that the bus stop is a bus stop to be disembarked by the bus stop information reception unit 213. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 10, the processes of the terminal device 2 and the server 3 up to step S103 for outputting the in-use route candidate information are the same as those of the above-described embodiments. Although the process of detecting the traveling direction is omitted, the process of detecting the traveling direction (step S105) may be executed.

After the route candidate information being used is output on the map (step S103), when the user inputs information about the bus stop via the operation unit 24, the bus stop information reception unit 213 accepts the information of the bus stop (step S106). .. The information about the bus stop is, for example, information such as a bus stop name or POI information. The input of information about the bus stop is executed, for example, by selecting the search button 252 after the user inputs the bus stop information into the search condition input area 251. When it is detected that the search button 252 is selected, the bus stop information is input. The reception unit 213 may accept the stop information. As another example, the bus stop information may be accepted by receiving the input by voice.

Next, the bus stop information reception unit 213 determines whether or not the information about the received bus stop is the information of the bus stop existing in the candidate route based on the information of the candidate route stored in the storage unit 23 (step). S107).

When the received stop is a stop on the candidate route (step S107: Yes), the information output unit 214 outputs information about the getting-off stop (step S108). As mentioned above, the information about the stop to get off is, for example, the number of stops from the current position to the stop to get off, the estimated time required from the current position to the stop to get off, and the get-off button to press the get-off button if it is the timing to get off. It is a display.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the display unit 25 in which the disembarkation stop information is output. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the bus stop B6 is accepted in FIGS. 11 and 12. As shown in FIG. 11, when the received stop information is the information of the stop of the candidate line, the number of stops and the required time to the stop are displayed. Further, the location information may be dynamically updated at the timing of acquisition, or the number of remaining stops and the required time may be dynamically updated.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a gauge indicating the ratio of the remaining time is displayed around the display indicating the stop and the remaining time, and the entire circumference is colored at the time of departure from the boarded stop, and the time has elapsed. It may be displayed so that the gauge decreases clockwise accordingly. It may display the absolute length of time instead of the percentage. The display is not limited to this, and it may be decreased counterclockwise, it may be colored as it decreases, or the gauges may be installed concentrically and the time may be set. May be displayed so that the circle becomes smaller or larger as the time passes. Not limited to these displays, gauges may be displayed, for example, a linear gauge may be displayed so that the user can recognize them. As yet another example, the gauge itself may not be displayed. Further, the time display is not limited to the minute display, and the second display, the 1/100 second unit, or a combination thereof may be displayed.

Further, for example, at the timing of passing the point of one stop to the stop of getting off, and the point of stop B5 in FIG. 11, as shown in the right figure, the driver is notified to press the button to inform the driver of getting off. You may do it. At this time, the vibrator or the like provided in the terminal device 2 may be vibrated at the same time, or the sound may be output via the speaker.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing another example of the display unit 25 in which the disembarkation stop information is output. In this way, the same information as in FIG. 12 is output, but the information displayed in the map display area 250 is still displayed, and the information about the bus stop to be disembarked is output in an easy-to-understand manner. good. Similarly, the notification of pressing the button notifying the driver to disembark may be displayed while the map information is displayed. Similar to the above, the terminal device 2 may be vibrated or a sound may be output together with this notification.

In addition, in FIGS. 11 and 12, both the number of stops to the stop to get off and the required time are output, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only one of them may be output. .. Further, the notification of the timing of pressing the disembarkation button may be displayed to the user in an easy-to-understand manner by, for example, blinking.

Further, in FIGS. 11 and 12, it is output to erase the required time of the bus stop before the accepted stop B6, but the output is not limited to this, and the required time is still displayed for the bus stop B7 and thereafter. You may leave it. Furthermore, the route beyond the bus stop B6 is indicated by a thin line, but the route is not limited to this, and the route beyond the accepted bus stop is also indicated by a thick line (display indicating the route of the vehicle on board). May be good.

The displays of FIGS. 11 and 12 may be set in advance in the information processing system 1 to be displayed, or may be changed according to the user's preference.

On the other hand, if the accepted stop is not a stop on the candidate route (step S107: No), as an example, a map around the stop may be displayed, or the current display may not be changed. You may keep displaying.

In the above explanation, the accepted stop is the getting-off stop, but it is not limited to this. For example, if you want to encourage other users to get on the same bus at a bus stop on the route of the route you are on, you can enter the information of the bus stop so that the user can get on the bus stop. It will be possible to know the time required to complete the process in more detail.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the user inputs information about the bus stop and the bus stop received by the bus stop information reception unit 213 is a bus stop that is a candidate for the route in use, it is a bus stop to get off. It is possible to estimate and output the number of stops or the required time to the stop to the display unit 25. By doing so, it becomes possible to clearly acquire the information up to the stop where the user gets off, and it is possible to eliminate the anxiety of the user while riding.

In the above description, after receiving the information about the bus stop, the process is closed by the terminal device 2, but the process is not limited to this. That is, the bus stop information received by the bus stop information reception unit 213 may be transmitted to the server 3 via the communication unit 22. The route information search unit 311 of the server 3 that has received the stop information may perform the search. For example, when POI information or the like is received, it is unknown whether the information is stored in the storage unit 23 of the terminal device 2, but the POI is searched by transmitting the information to the server 3 in this way. It is also possible to perform a search from information.

In the above, the reception of stop information is not limited to input by characters or voice. For example, when the operation unit 24 is a touch panel, when the user selects a displayed stop by double-tapping or holding the bus stop, the stop information reception unit 213 receives the selected stop as stop information. You may do it.

In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the traveling direction detection unit 212, the spot information acquisition unit 313, and the spot database 322 are not essential configurations. Further, in the present embodiment, the information output unit 214 also functions as a bus stop information output means for outputting information on the bus stop.

(Fifth Embodiment)
The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment outputs spot information around the vehicle while riding. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 13, the output of the spot information according to the present embodiment is executed after outputting the in-use route candidate information up to step S103. The processes up to step S103 are executed based on at least one process in the above-described embodiment.

After outputting the route candidate information in use, the position information acquisition unit 211 of the terminal device 2 acquires the position information again (step S101). Then, the acquired location information is transmitted to the server 3 (step S102).

The spot information acquisition unit 313 of the server 3 that has received the position information acquires the spot information from the spot database 322 in the storage unit 32 based on the position information (step S204). The spot database 322 stores, for example, information on spots associated with location information or information on spots associated with stop information.

The spot information acquisition unit 313 acquires information on the associated spot based on the received position information or the information on the surrounding stops searched by the route information search unit 311 from the received position information. When the spot information is acquired from the position information, the information of the spot along the route of the in-use route candidate acquired by the in-use route candidate acquisition unit 312 may be acquired. Similarly, when searching for information on a bus stop, the bus stop information on the route of the bus route of the candidate bus route acquired by the bus route candidate acquisition unit 312 may be acquired.

Next, the spot information acquisition unit 313 transmits the acquired spot information to the terminal device 2 (step S205).

The information output unit 214 of the terminal device 2 that has received the spot information outputs the spot information on the map that has already been displayed (step S109).

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing some examples of outputting spot information on the map display area 250.

FIG. 14A is an example of outputting a tourist spot as spot information. In this way, by outputting the information on the tourist spots around the candidate route being used, it is possible to output the information on the tourist spots, for example, the business hours, the nearest bus stop, the highlights, the charges, etc. to the user. .. It is also possible to output information on the highlights according to the time (information on the time of cherry blossoms, the possibility of swimming in the sea, etc.). In addition, a URI such as an official website that explains the tourist spot in detail may be displayed.

FIG. 14 (b) is a diagram in which the information of FIG. 14 (a) is output using another user interface. As described above, the spot information is not output by a specific method, but may be output in various embodiments. In this case, the route information may be hidden, so for example, tap or click another part, or provide a close button in the balloon and select that button to erase the spot information. You may do so.

FIG. 14C is an example of outputting information about the event or the like as spot information when the event or the like is being performed. In the same way as above, it is possible to output notes, etc. in addition to information such as the event holding time and the nearest bus stop. The precautions are, for example, information about the return transportation, and by outputting such information, it is possible to output useful information not only to the user but also to the business operator operating the transportation. It will be possible. In addition, the URI of the official website of the event may be displayed.

FIG. 14D is an example of outputting information on nearby stores as spot information. The information on the stores in the vicinity is, for example, information on what kind of service the store is offering, and is information including so-called commercial advertisements. Based on the time information, it is also possible to output information on the time service (information on time sale, happy hour, etc.). In addition, the URI of the store or the advertisement may be displayed.

In the above, when the URI is displayed, a link may be set to the URI and the site pointed to by the URI may be browsed by selecting the URI. It may be possible to browse what is displayed on the application for causing the user to execute the information processing system 1, or to separately launch and browse the application for browsing the content indicated by the URI such as a web browser. You may.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing selection of output information. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the information output unit 214 may output the spot from which the surrounding spot information can be acquired so that the user can select it. By doing so, the user can display the information of the spot desired by himself / herself on the display unit 25 in a focused manner.

As another example, when a commercial advertisement or the like is output as spot information, the surrounding spot information is sequentially switched and output at predetermined intervals, for example, at intervals of 30 seconds. It can also be executed in combination with the output method of FIG. 15, in which case the commercial advertisement may be preferentially displayed first. If the information processing system 1 is paid and there is a version that can be used free of charge, commercial advertisements are preferentially displayed to free users, and tourist and event information is preferentially displayed to paid users. It may be done.

It is not necessary to acquire these spot information every time the position is updated. For example, the spot information along the in-use route candidate is collectively transmitted to the terminal device 2 at a predetermined timing (for example, the timing when the in-use route candidate is acquired) and stored in the storage unit 23 of the terminal device 2. You may leave it. By doing so, it is possible to output the spot information to the display unit 25 of the terminal device 2 without transmitting the position information from the terminal device 2 to the server 3 every time the position is updated.

When the traveling direction is detected by the traveling direction detecting unit 212, the information output unit 214 may select and output spot information along the route ahead of the traveling direction. Further, without performing this processing in the terminal device 2, when transmitting the position information, the information regarding the traveling direction is also transmitted to the server 3, and the spot information acquisition unit 313 selects the spot information in front of the traveling direction. It may be acquired and transmitted to the terminal device 2.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to output spot information based on the location information and the information of the route candidate being used, and the user can acquire various information about the vicinity of the route being boarded. Is possible. In addition, it is possible to output useful information to the user not only for the user but also for the transportation business operator and facilities such as stores in the vicinity.

According to such a display, it is possible to present the surrounding spot information including the service information currently being held to the user who is on the bus based on the current position and the current time. As a result, the user can find a stop that he / she thinks he / she may get off. On the other hand, as a store or the like, it is possible to display the user so that he / she can easily drop in based on this information, and it is possible to obtain an effect such as enhancing the effect of attracting customers.

In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the bus stop information reception unit 213 is not an indispensable configuration. Further, when the detection of the traveling direction is not required, the traveling direction detecting unit 212 is not an indispensable configuration.

(Sixth Embodiment)
The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment sets the position of the terminal device 2 on the map, that is, the position of the user when the user carries the terminal device 2, in accordance with the position of the terminal device 2. Display the image shown. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an output example of the display unit 25 of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment.

For example, if the information processing system 1 searches for a route before boarding the vehicle, the user has not yet boarded the vehicle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16A, a human-shaped icon is used. The position information of the terminal device 2 is output on the map.

On the other hand, after getting in the vehicle, as shown in FIG. 16B, the position information of the terminal device 2 is output on the map by the icon in the shape of the vehicle.

The switching from the state of FIG. 16A to the state of FIG. 16B may be executed based on the output of a sensor such as an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or a 6-axis sensor mounted on the terminal device 2. .. For example, when it is determined from the update of the position information that the position of the terminal device 2 is moving, if the sensor detects that the person is walking, the icon of the person is displayed, and if not, the vehicle is displayed. Display the icon.

As another example, the moving speed may be estimated from the update of the position information, and the icon may be changed. In this case, once the icon of a person is changed to the icon of a vehicle, it may be displayed as an icon of a vehicle even when the moving speed becomes slow to some extent. Further, when the speed is slower than a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes), the icon may be returned to the human icon. By doing so, it is possible not to return to the human icon during low-speed operation such as when the bus is stopped, before and after departure and arrival. As yet another example, when a stop is specified, the icon of the vehicle may not be changed up to the stop.

The icon shown in these images may be output so that the position on the map moves as the position information is updated. Further, in the standard state, the position of the terminal device 2 may always be output so as to be located near the center of the map display area 250.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by changing and outputting the icon indicating the user's position depending on whether or not the user is on board, the user can display the current state on the map. It is possible to see the display that is output in a state close to the user's state.

In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the traveling direction detection unit 212, the stop information reception unit 213, the spot information acquisition unit 313, and the spot database 322 are not indispensable configurations. Further, in the present embodiment, the information output unit 214 also functions as a spot information output means for outputting spot information.

In addition, the case where the search is performed before boarding has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the user switches from walking to moving by bus while the terminal device 2 is displaying an application that displays the output of the information processing system 1, that is, when the user gets on the bus, the location information is automatically set. It may be possible to detect that the vehicle has switched from walking to boarding the bus. In this case, for example, a humanoid icon may be displayed on the display unit 25 as the position of the terminal device 2 while walking, and the display may be changed to the bus icon at the timing when it is detected that the user has boarded the bus. It is possible.

Each of the above-described embodiments can be implemented not only individually but also in combination.

At least a part of the information processing system described in the above-described embodiment may be configured by hardware or software. When configured by software, a program that realizes at least a part of the functions of the information processing system may be stored in a recording medium such as a flexible disk or a CD-ROM, read by a computer, and executed.
