JP7807966B2 - Migration evaluation support device, migration evaluation support system, and program - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a shopping mall evaluation support device, a shopping mall evaluation support system, and a program.

In recent years, there have been many TV programs broadcast that introduce local spots, such as travel programs, gourmet programs, and city walking programs (so-called "machibura" programs), and as a result, there has been a growing desire to rediscover unexpected sights and aspects of familiar and distant spots.

The following technologies could be applied to meet this demand:

Patent Document 1 discloses a technology that acquires feature information characterizing features related to a location determined by a user based on the location information of the location, and transmits the acquired feature information to a network system that records third-party information transmitted by a third party other than the user.

With this technology, when related information related to the transmitted feature feature information is extracted from the recorded third-party information and transmitted, the transmitted related information is presented to the user. Therefore, with this technology, information about facilities that the user is completely unaware of can be recognized by associating it with a location determined by the user.

In cities, tourist destinations, and other areas, it is extremely important to attract not only local residents but also people from far away to visit in large numbers in order to revitalize the area.

In contrast, the technology described in Patent Document 1 can present unexpected information to users, but does not necessarily effectively encourage browsing.

As a technology that can be applied to solve this problem, Patent Document 2, filed by the present applicant, discloses a migration promotion support device designed to effectively promote migration. This migration promotion support device includes an acquisition unit that acquires physical quantities indicating the subject's level of interest in a target location based on the subject's actual behavior in that location, and a derivation unit that uses the physical quantities acquired by the acquisition unit to derive the subject's evaluation value for the target location. The migration promotion support device also includes a registration unit that registers the evaluation value derived by the derivation unit in a storage unit in a state that allows others to refer to it.

JP 2015-11550 A Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-109600

However, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 derives an evaluation value for a target location using physical quantities such as the time spent by the target person at the target location, the distance from a specified starting point to the target location, and the travel time from the starting point to the target location.

As such, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 derives an evaluation value using physical quantities that are not directly related to the evaluation value, and therefore does not necessarily derive an evaluation value with high accuracy. As a result, there is a problem in that it does not necessarily contribute to supporting the evaluation of wanderlust. This problem is particularly pronounced with the evaluation value that indicates the degree to which a subject felt they had wandered around a target location (hereinafter referred to as "wanderlust degree"). Note that the wanderlust degree (the degree to which a subject felt they had wandered) here refers to the degree to which a subject walked around a target location, such as a city or tourist spot, to see and hear about things that interest them, rather than walking in a straight line toward a destination.

The present invention was developed in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a shopping mall evaluation support device, shopping mall evaluation support system, and program that can contribute to supporting shopping mall evaluation at a higher level.

The wanderlust evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 1 comprises an acquisition unit that acquires route information indicating a walking route of a subject to a destination in a wanderlust target area; a derivation unit that derives a wanderlust indicating the ratio of the distance per unit time of the route indicated by the route information acquired by the acquisition unit to the distance of the route along the road toward the destination, which is a distance that is pre-stored in a memory unit; and a presentation unit that controls the presentation of wanderlust-related information regarding the wanderlust derived by the derivation unit using a display unit, an audio playback device, or an image forming device .

According to the wanderlust evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 1, route information indicating the walking route of the subject to the destination in the target area for wanderlust is acquired, a wanderlust degree indicating the ratio of the distance per unit time of the route indicated by the acquired route information to the distance along the road, which is the distance of the route toward the destination and is also a distance stored in advance in a memory unit , and by controlling the display unit, audio playback device, or image forming device to present wanderlust-related information regarding the derived wanderlust degree, the wanderlust degree can be derived as an indication of the actual degree of wandering, and as a result, can contribute to a higher level of support for wanderlust evaluation.

The wandering evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 2 is the wandering evaluation support device described in claim 1, wherein the derivation unit derives, as the wandering degree, the ratio of the distance per unit time of the route indicated by the route information to the straight-line distance from the start point to the end point to the destination .

According to the wanderlust evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 2, the wanderlust degree is calculated by calculating the ratio of the distance per unit time of the route indicated by the route information to the straight-line distance from the start point to the end point to the destination , and as a result, the wanderlust degree can be calculated by applying the straight-line distance instead of the distance along the road, making it possible to derive the wanderlust degree more easily.

The traffic evaluation support device according to the present invention, as described in claim 3, is the traffic evaluation support device as described in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the derivation unit corrects the traffic degree using the rate of change of the traffic degree over time.

The traffic evaluation support device according to the present invention, as described in claim 3, can derive traffic levels with higher accuracy by correcting the traffic levels using the rate of change of the traffic levels over time.

The migration evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 4 is a migration evaluation support device described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the presentation unit uses the degree of migration derived by the derivation unit to control further presentation of meaningful information to the subject , which is information that is meaningful to the subject and includes health-related information , via the display unit, the audio playback device, or the image forming device .

According to the migration evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 4, the derived degree of migration is used to control the display unit, audio playback device, or image forming device to further present meaningful information to the subject , which is information that is meaningful to the subject and includes health-related information, thereby making the subject feel the significance of migration and thereby increasing their motivation to migrate.

Furthermore, according to the migration evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 4 , by including health-related information in the meaningful information, motivation to migrate can be further increased.

The migration evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 5 is the migration evaluation support device described in claim 4 , wherein the information regarding health includes at least one of information regarding mental health and information regarding physical health.

According to the migration evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 5 , by including at least one of information regarding mental health and information regarding physical health in the health information, it is possible to allow the subject to understand the included health information.

The migration evaluation support device of the present invention described in claim 6 is a migration evaluation support device described in any one of claims 1 to 5 , wherein the derivation unit derives the degree of migration according to the attributes of the subject.

According to the device for supporting the evaluation of user movement according to the present invention as set forth in claim 6 , the degree of user movement can be derived with higher accuracy by deriving the degree of user movement according to the attributes of the subject.

The migration evaluation support system of the present invention described in claim 7 includes a migration evaluation support device described in any one of claims 1 to 6 , and a terminal equipped with a transmission unit that transmits the route information to the acquisition unit of the migration evaluation support device, and a display control unit that controls the display of the migration degree related information presented by the presentation unit of the migration evaluation support device on a display unit.

According to the program of the present invention described in claim 8 , route information indicating the walking route of the subject to the destination in the target area for wandering is acquired, and a wandering degree indicating the ratio of the distance per unit time of the route indicated by the acquired route information to the distance along the road, which is the distance of the route toward the destination and is a distance stored in advance in a memory unit, is derived, and by controlling the display unit, audio playback device, or image forming device to present wandering degree-related information regarding the derived wandering degree, the wandering degree can be derived as an indication of the actual degree of wandering, which can contribute to a higher level of support for the evaluation of wandering.

As explained above, the present invention can contribute to supporting migration evaluation at a higher level.

An example embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the present invention will be described as being applied to a user mobility evaluation support system that includes a user mobility evaluation support device configured using a server computer or the like, and multiple user terminals, each of which is used individually by a user.

First, the configuration of the shopping mall evaluation support system 90 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, the shopping mall evaluation support system 90 according to this embodiment includes a shopping mall evaluation support device 10 and multiple target user terminals 30, each of which is capable of accessing a network 80. Examples of the shopping mall evaluation support device 10 include information processing devices such as personal computers and server computers. Examples of the target user terminals 30 include portable devices such as smartphones, tablet terminals, and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants, mobile information terminals).

The subject terminal 30 according to this embodiment is a terminal carried by each of the multiple subjects who are intended to use the migration evaluation support system 90. The subject terminal 30 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 31, memory 32 as a temporary storage area, a non-volatile memory unit 33, an input unit 34 such as a touch panel, a display unit 35 such as an LCD display, and a media read/write device (R/W) 36. The subject terminal 30 also includes a camera 38, a microphone 39, a GPS (Global Positioning Systems) 40, an acceleration sensor 41, and a wireless communication unit 42. The CPU 31, memory 32, memory unit 33, input unit 34, display unit 35, media read/write device 36, camera 38, microphone 39, GPS 40, acceleration sensor 41, and wireless communication unit 42 are interconnected via bus B1. The media read/write device 36 reads information written to and writes information to a recording medium 37.

The storage unit 33 is realized by a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), flash memory, etc. The storage unit 33 serves as a storage medium and stores a terminal processing program 33A. The terminal processing program 33A is stored (installed) in the storage unit 33 when a recording medium 37 on which the terminal processing program 33A is written is set in the medium reading and writing device 36 and the medium reading and writing device 36 reads the terminal processing program 33A from the recording medium 37. The CPU 31 reads the terminal processing program 33A from the storage unit 33, expands it into the memory 32, and sequentially executes the processes contained in the terminal processing program 33A.

On the other hand, the traffic evaluation support device 10 is a device that comprehensively stores and uses the various information handled by the traffic evaluation support system 90. The traffic evaluation support device 10 comprises a CPU 11, memory 12 as a temporary storage area, a non-volatile memory unit 13, an input unit 14 such as a keyboard and mouse, a display unit 15 such as an LCD display, a media read/write device 16, and a communication interface (I/F) unit 18. The CPU 11, memory 12, memory unit 13, input unit 14, display unit 15, media read/write device 16, and communication I/F unit 18 are connected to each other via bus B2. The media read/write device 16 reads information written to recording medium 17 and writes information to recording medium 17.

The memory unit 13 is realized by an HDD, SSD, flash memory, etc. The memory unit 13 serves as a storage medium and stores a shopping mall evaluation support program 13A. Shopping mall evaluation support program 13A is stored (installed) in the memory unit 13 when a recording medium 17 on which the program 13A is written is set in the medium reading/writing device 16 and the medium reading/writing device 16 reads the program 13A from the recording medium 17. The CPU 11 reads the shopping mall evaluation support program 13A from the memory unit 13, expands it into memory 12, and sequentially executes the processes of the shopping mall evaluation support program 13A.

The memory unit 13 also stores a target area information database 13B and a target person information database 13C. Details of the target area information database 13B and the target person information database 13C will be described later.

Next, the functional configuration of the migration evaluation support device 10 and the target user terminal 30 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 2. Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the migration evaluation support system 90 according to this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, the shopping mall evaluation support device 10 includes an acquisition unit 11A, a derivation unit 11B, and a presentation unit 11C. The CPU 11 of the shopping mall evaluation support device 10 executes the shopping mall evaluation support program 13A, thereby functioning as the acquisition unit 11A, the derivation unit 11B, and the presentation unit 11C.

The acquisition unit 11A in this embodiment acquires route information indicating the subject's walking route in a target location for wandering (hereinafter referred to as a "spot").

In this embodiment, route information is acquired using a GPS 40 provided in the subject terminal 30, but this is not limited to this. For example, route information may be acquired using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or a beacon.

In addition, the derivation unit 11B in this embodiment derives a degree of wandering, which indicates the ratio of the distance per unit time of the route indicated by the route information acquired by the acquisition unit 11A to the distance along the road. Note that, in this embodiment, 10 minutes is used as the unit time, but it is not limited to this and may be a time less than 10 minutes or a time greater than 10 minutes.

Now, with reference to Figure 3, we will explain the method for deriving the degree of movement according to this embodiment. Figure 3 is a diagram used to explain the degree of movement according to this embodiment, and is a plan view showing an example of a road-like route and an actual travel route.

As shown in Figure 3, consider a case where there are multiple stores A, B, etc. facing a common road 60 on a street corner, etc. In this case, for example, if a target person is located between stores H and I and is heading to store A because there is something they want to purchase, they will usually take a route K1 that follows the road to store A (hereinafter referred to as the "road-following route").

In contrast, even in a similar situation, if the subject is wandering around looking for something that interests them, they will take a winding route K2 to store A rather than the straight route K1.

Therefore, the derivation unit 11B according to this embodiment derives the ratio R of the walking distance D1 per unit time of the route indicated by the above route information to the road distance D2, as a value indicating the degree of wandering, as shown in the following formula (1):

R=D1/D2 (1)

In this embodiment, the degree of visitation is derived as a value indicating which level out of a predetermined number of levels (in this embodiment, 10 levels from 1 to 10) the degree of visitation corresponds to. Therefore, the degree of visitation in this embodiment is derived by converting the value of the ratio R so that the larger the value of the ratio R, the closer the value becomes to 10.

The presentation unit 11C in this embodiment then presents information related to the degree of movement derived by the derivation unit 11B.

In this embodiment, the mobility-related information used is the mobility itself derived by the derivation unit 11B, and an image simulating a facial expression depending on the magnitude of the mobility (hereinafter referred to as a "face image"), but this is not limited to this. For example, only one of the mobility or the face image may be used as the mobility-related information. Also, in this embodiment, presentation by the presentation unit 11C is performed by display on the display unit, but this is not limited to this. For example, presentation by the presentation unit 11C may be performed by audio using an audio playback device such as a speaker, or by printing using an image forming device such as a printer.

In addition, the derivation unit 11B according to this embodiment corrects the degree of mobility using the rate of change of the degree of mobility over time. Note that in this embodiment, when the rate of change of the degree of mobility per unit time (corresponding to the "provisional mobility" described below) over time does not change smoothly but changes in a sawtooth pattern, the correction applied is to inflate the overall degree of mobility within the corresponding spot (in this embodiment, the simple average value of the provisional mobility) by a predetermined value, but it goes without saying that this is not limited to this.

Furthermore, the presentation unit 11C according to this embodiment uses the degree of mobility derived by the derivation unit 11B to further present meaningful information that is meaningful to the subject (hereinafter simply referred to as "meaningful information") to the subject. Here, the presentation unit 11C according to this embodiment applies health-related information as meaningful information, and in particular, the presentation unit 11C according to this embodiment applies both mental health-related information and physical health-related information as the health-related information. However, this is not limited to this form. For example, if the degree of mobility derived by the derivation unit 11B is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, information introducing to the user spots that have a higher degree of mobility and are considered to be an overall degree of mobility, as described below, may be applied as meaningful information. Furthermore, only either mental health-related information or physical health-related information may be applied as health-related information.

The derivation unit 11B according to this embodiment is configured to derive the degree of movement for each attribute of the subject. In this embodiment, the three attributes applied are gender, age, and height, but this is not limited to these. For example, one or a combination of two of these three attributes may be applied as the attribute, or other attributes such as weight may be applied in addition to these three attributes.

On the other hand, the subject terminal 30 according to this embodiment includes a transmission unit 31A and a display control unit 31B. The CPU 31 of the subject terminal 30 executes the terminal processing program 33A, thereby functioning as the transmission unit 31A and the display control unit 31B.

The transmission unit 31A in this embodiment transmits route information to the acquisition unit 11A of the mobility evaluation support device 10. In addition, the display control unit 31B controls the display of the mobility-related information presented by the presentation unit 11C of the mobility evaluation support device 10 on the display unit 35.

Next, the target area information database 13B according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 4. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of the target area information database 13B according to this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 4, the target area information database 13B according to this embodiment stores information such as the target area name, target area location, social heat map image, travel route, spot name, spot location, and overall travel intensity.

The target area name is information indicating the name of the target area (hereinafter simply referred to as the "target area") that is being handled by the migration evaluation support system 90, and the target area position is information indicating the location where the corresponding target area is located. In this embodiment, the target area is an area surrounded by a circle in a planar view, and the target area position is defined as the coordinate position in a two-dimensional coordinate system of a pair of diagonal corners of a circumscribing rectangle of the circular area in a planar view. However, this is not limited to this form, and for example, other shapes such as an ellipse or rectangle may be used instead of the circle, or latitude and longitude may be used instead of the coordinate position in the two-dimensional coordinate system.

The social heat map image is an image showing a map that highlights locations with a lot of information that matches the subject's category by displaying areas with different densities or colors overlaid on the normally displayed map image of the corresponding target area. That is, in this embodiment, each subject is asked to answer multiple questions in advance, and the responses are analyzed and classified to determine each subject's category in advance. The social heat map image of this embodiment is then displayed overlaid on the map image so that the density increases in locations with a lot of information that matches the subject's category (in this embodiment, information posted on SNS (Social Networking Service)). However, this is not limited to changing the density, and the colors may also be changed in order from high density to low density, such as red → yellow → green.

In this embodiment, the traffic evaluation support device 10 is connected via a network 80 or the like to a server that provides the latest social heat map images for each target area, and the latest social heat map images are obtained from this server to sequentially update the target area information database 13B. However, this is not limiting, and the traffic evaluation support device 10 itself may also sequentially update the social heat map images corresponding to each target person.

The travel route is information indicating a recommended route to travel in the corresponding target area, the spot name is information indicating the name of a spot included in the corresponding target area, and the spot position is information indicating the location of the corresponding spot. In this embodiment, the spot is an area surrounded by a circle in a planar view, and the spot position is defined as the coordinate position in a two-dimensional coordinate system of a pair of diagonal corners of a circumscribing rectangle of the circular area in a planar view. However, this is not limited to this form, and for example, the circle may be replaced by another shape such as an ellipse or rectangle, or latitude and longitude may be used instead of the coordinate position in the two-dimensional coordinate system.

In this embodiment, the above-mentioned travel routes and spots are extracted from information posted on SNS using AI (artificial intelligence) technology, but this is not limited to this. For example, travel routes and spots may be extracted from the homepages of television programs that introduce local spots, such as travel programs, gourmet programs, and city walking programs (so-called town strolling programs).

In this way, in this embodiment, information indicating recommended routes to travel in the target area is provided, and this information is presented to the subject. However, it goes without saying that the subject does not necessarily have to travel exactly along the presented route, and can simply stroll around to see and hear about objects of interest.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned overall mobility degree is information indicating the overall value of the above-mentioned mobility degree for the corresponding spot. Note that in this embodiment, the simple average value of the mobility degree of all subjects at the corresponding spot is applied as the overall mobility degree, but this is not limited to this. For example, a weighted average value of the mobility degree of all subjects at the corresponding spot, in which the weight of people with important attributes is relatively increased, may be applied as the overall mobility degree. Hereinafter, the information stored in the target area information database 13B will be collectively referred to as "target area information."

Next, the subject information database 13C according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 5. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of the subject information database 13C according to this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 5, the subject information database 13C according to this embodiment stores the following information: subject terminal ID (Identification), subject name, attributes, visited spots, visit date and time, walking distance, road distance, provisional degree of wandering, and degree of wandering.

The subject terminal ID is information assigned to identify the subject terminal 30 owned by each subject using the migration evaluation support system 90, and the subject name is information indicating the name of the corresponding subject.

Furthermore, the above attributes are information indicating the above-mentioned attributes of the corresponding subject, the above visited spots are information indicating the names of spots visited by the corresponding subject, and the visit dates and times are information indicating the dates and times when the corresponding subject visited the corresponding spots.

The walking distance is information indicating the distance of the walking route of the corresponding subject per unit time (10 minutes in this embodiment) measured when the corresponding subject visited the corresponding spot. The following path distance is information indicating the distance of the route corresponding to the following path, which corresponds to the walking path when the corresponding walking path was walked.

In this embodiment, the information indicating the walking route stored in the target area information database 13B is stored as information equivalent to information indicating a road-direction route. Then, in this embodiment, information indicating the route between the positions closest to the start and end positions of the walking route is extracted from the information indicating the walking route, and the distance of the route indicated by the extracted information is used as the road-direction distance. However, the road-direction distance is not limited to this. For example, a map image in a social heat map image may be referenced to extract information indicating the route between the positions on the road closest to the start and end positions of the walking route, and the distance of the route indicated by the extracted information may be used as the road-direction distance.

The provisional mobility degree is information indicating the mobility degree per unit time corresponding to the corresponding walking distance and road distance, and the mobility degree is information indicating the mobility degree for the entire spot when the corresponding subject visits the corresponding spot. As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the mobility degree is a value corrected according to the rate of change of the provisional mobility degree over time. Note that, hereinafter, the information stored in subject information database 13C will be collectively referred to as "subject information."

Next, the operation of the shopping mall roaming evaluation support system 90 according to this embodiment will be explained with reference to Figures 6 to 10.

First, the operation of the subject terminal 30 will be described with reference to Figure 6. The CPU 31 of one of the subject terminals 30 executes the terminal processing program 33A, thereby executing the terminal processing shown in Figure 6. The terminal processing shown in Figure 6 is executed, for example, when an instruction to execute the terminal processing is input from one of the subjects (hereinafter referred to as the "subject") via the input unit 34 of their own subject terminal 30.

In step 200 of FIG. 6, the CPU 31 acquires information indicating the location (hereinafter referred to as "location information") from the GPS 40, and in the next step 202, the CPU 31 transmits the acquired location information to the wandering evaluation support device 10 via the wireless communication unit 42.

In the migration evaluation support process (see also Figure 7) described below, the migration evaluation support device 10 reads target area information (hereinafter referred to as "implementation target area information") related to the target area (hereinafter referred to as "implementation target area") that includes the location indicated by the location information received from the target user terminal 30 from the target area information database 13B. Furthermore, the migration evaluation support device 10 creates information indicating an initial screen (hereinafter referred to as "initial screen information") described below based on the implementation target area information. The migration evaluation support device 10 then transmits the implementation target area information and the initial screen information to the target user terminal 30 (hereinafter referred to as "implementation target user terminal") that transmitted the location information.

Therefore, in the next step 204, the CPU 31 waits to receive initial screen information and implementation area information from the shopping mall evaluation support device 10, and in the next step 206, the CPU 31 controls the display unit 35 to display the initial screen indicated by the received initial screen information.

Figure 8 shows an example of an initial screen according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 8, the initial screen according to this embodiment displays the spot names and travel routes of each spot included in the target area superimposed at the corresponding positions on a social heat map image of the target area. The target person then begins traveling along the travel route displayed on the initial screen. Note that to avoid confusion, this embodiment describes a case where there is only one candidate target area, but this is not limited to this. For example, if there are multiple candidate target areas, the target area with the highest total value of the overall travel rate of the included spots, or the target area most recently registered in the target area information database 13B, may be selectively applied as the target area. Also, as shown in Figure 8, the circumscribing circles of each spot included in the target area are displayed with dashed lines on the initial screen according to this embodiment, but it goes without saying that this is not limited to this.

As mentioned above, the subject does not necessarily have to travel exactly along the displayed route, but can simply walk around to see and hear anything that interests them.

In the next step 208, the CPU 31 acquires location information from the GPS 40. In the next step 210, the CPU 31 waits until the location indicated by the acquired location information reaches the area of one of the spots included in the received implementation target area information, thereby waiting until the implementation target person arrives at the area of one of the spots (hereinafter referred to as the "stay spot") in the implementation target area.

In the next step 212, the CPU 31 begins counting the number of steps taken by the subject using the output signal from the acceleration sensor 41, and also begins timing using a built-in timing unit (not shown). In the next step 214, the CPU 31 acquires location information from the GPS 40.

In the next step 216, the CPU 31 uses the number of steps taken from this point until the above-mentioned unit time (10 minutes in this embodiment) has elapsed to calculate the walking distance of the subject per unit time. Note that in this embodiment, the walking distance is calculated by multiplying the counted number of steps by a distance per step that is predetermined according to the attributes of the subject, but this is not limited to this. For example, the walking distance may be the length of the subject's movement route, which is sequentially obtained by the GPS 40.

Then, in step 216, the CPU 31 controls the transmission of information indicating the calculated walking distance, information indicating the walking route corresponding to the walking distance, and information indicating the spot name corresponding to the stay spot as basic information to the wanderlust evaluation support device 10 via the wireless communication unit 42. Upon receiving the basic information from the subject terminal, the wanderlust evaluation support device 10 controls the registration of information relating to the received basic information and information indicating a provisional wanderlust degree (described below) derived using the basic information in the subject information database 13C in the wanderlust evaluation support process described below.

In the next step 218, the CPU 31 waits until the location indicated by the acquired location information becomes the location where the vehicle leaves the stay spot (hereinafter referred to as the "exit spot") determined to have been reached in the processing of step 210.

In the next step 220, the CPU 31 stops the step counting and timing that began in the processing of step 212, and controls the transmission of spot departure information indicating the departure from the departure spot to the wandering evaluation support device 10. By processing steps 214 to 220 above, the CPU 31 is able to transmit basic information to the wandering evaluation support device 10, including information indicating the subject's walking distance per unit time at the departure spot. As a result, information regarding the basic information per unit time and information indicating the provisional degree of wandering are sequentially accumulated in the subject information database 13C.

Then, when a subject leaves an exit spot, the mobility evaluation support device 10 uses the provisional mobility degrees in chronological order for the exit spot registered in the subject information database 13C to derive the mobility degree corresponding to the entire exit spot, and transmits this to the subject terminal.

Therefore, in the next step 222, the CPU 31 waits to receive the degree of movement from the movement evaluation support device 10, and in the next step 224, the CPU 31 controls the display unit 35 to display a movement degree display screen that primarily displays the received degree of movement.

Figure 9 shows an example of a mobility display screen according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 9, the mobility display screen according to this embodiment displays the name of the exit spot and the name of the participant, and also displays an adjustable mobility level for the participant. As shown in Figure 9, the mobility display screen according to this embodiment also displays a face image 35D that simulates a facial expression according to the level of the mobility level.

When the mobility display screen shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the display unit 35, the subject inputs an instruction to adjust the mobility if the displayed mobility does not match the mobility for the exit spot that the subject subjectively felt. In this embodiment, the instruction to adjust the mobility is input by selecting the increase button 35C if the subject wishes to increase the mobility, or by selecting the decrease button 35B if the subject wishes to decrease the mobility, but this is not limited to this. For example, the adjusted value may be directly entered in the mobility display area. Then, the subject selects the end button 35A to end the display of the mobility display screen.

Therefore, in the next step 226, the CPU 31 waits until the end button 35A is selected. In the next step 228, the CPU 31 transmits information indicating that the end button 35A has been selected (hereinafter referred to as "end information"), together with the adjusted mobility (hereinafter referred to as "adjusted mobility") if the mobility degree has been adjusted on the mobility degree display screen, to the mobility evaluation support device 10 via the wireless communication unit 42. Note that if the end button 35A is selected without adjusting the mobility degree on the mobility degree display screen, the CPU 31 transmits only the end information to the mobility evaluation support device 10.

When the wanderlust evaluation support device 10 receives end information from the participant terminal, it derives meaningful information, which is information that is meaningful to the participant, and transmits it to the participant terminal in the wanderlust evaluation support process described below.

Therefore, in the next step 230, the CPU 31 waits to receive meaningful information from the shopping mall evaluation support device 10, and in the next step 232, the CPU 31 controls the display unit 35 to display a meaningful information display screen that primarily displays the received meaningful information.

Figure 10 shows an example of a meaningful information display screen according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 10, the meaningful information display screen according to this embodiment displays the name of the exit spot and the name of the person to be involved in the activity, as well as meaningful information.

In this embodiment, meaningful information includes information indicating the level of mental health (hereinafter referred to as "mental health level") and information indicating the level of physical health (hereinafter referred to as "physical health level"). Also, in this embodiment, meaningful information includes information indicating the level of leisure and enjoyment at the departure spot for the participant. However, it goes without saying that meaningful information is not limited to these types of information.

When the meaningful information display screen shown in Figure 10 is displayed on the display unit 35, the subject understands the content of the displayed information and then presses the end button 35A.

Therefore, in the next step 234, the CPU 31 waits until the end button 35A is selected. In the next step 236, the CPU 31 determines whether the above processing has been completed for all spots in the target area, and if the determination is negative, the process returns to step 206, but if the determination is positive, the device processing ends.

Next, the operation of the migration evaluation support device 10 will be described with reference to Figure 7. The CPU 11 of the migration evaluation support device 10 executes the migration evaluation support program 13A, thereby executing the migration evaluation support process shown in Figure 7. The migration evaluation support process shown in Figure 7 is executed, for example, when an instruction to execute the migration evaluation support process is input by the operator of the migration evaluation support device 10 via the input unit 14. Note that, in order to avoid confusion, the case where the subject ID, subject name, and attribute information of the subject information database 13C are registered in advance will be described.

In step 300 of FIG. 7, the CPU 11 waits until location information is received from one of the target device 30, and in the next step 302, the CPU 11 reads target area information (= implementation target area information) relating to the target area that includes the location indicated by the received location information from the target area information database 13B.

In the next step 304, the CPU 11 uses the read-out implementation target area information to create the above-mentioned initial screen information. In the next step 306, the CPU 11 controls the transmission of the created initial screen information and the read-out implementation target area information to the implementation target terminal via the communication I/F unit 18 and network 80. Upon receiving the initial screen information and implementation target area information, the implementation target terminal uses the above-mentioned terminal processing to transmit basic information, including information indicating the walking distance per unit time at each spot in the target area visited, to the wanderlust evaluation support device 10.

Therefore, in the next step 308, the CPU 11 waits until basic information is received from the subject terminal. In the next step 310, the CPU 11 derives information indicating the path distance corresponding to the information indicating the walking distance included in the received basic information, as described above, and uses the information indicating the walking distance and the path distance to derive the provisional wandering degree, as described above. In the next step 312, the CPU 11 stores (registers) each piece of information on the walking distance, the path distance, and the derived provisional wandering degree in the corresponding storage area of the subject information database 13C.

In the next step, step 314, the CPU 11 determines whether the target person has left the exit spot by determining whether spot departure information has been received from the target person's terminal; if the determination is negative, the process returns to step 308; if the determination is positive, the process proceeds to step 316.

When repeatedly executing the processes of steps 308 to 314, the CPU 11 stores the information indicating the spot name included in the received basic information and the current date and time (the start date and time of the visit) in the corresponding storage area of the subject information database 13C when it first executes the process of step 312. When repeatedly executing the processes of steps 308 to 314, the CPU 11 stores the current date and time (the end date and time of the visit) in the subject information database 13C when it finally executes the process of step 312.

In the next step 316, the CPU 11 reads information indicating all provisional mobility degrees related to the exit spots from the subject information database 13C, and uses the provisional mobility degrees to derive the mobility degrees corresponding to all the exit spots as described above.

In the next step 318, the CPU 11 controls the transmission of the derived degree of mobility to the target user terminal. Upon receiving the degree of mobility, the target user terminal displays a mobility display screen through terminal processing, as described above, and is able to accept adjustments to the degree of mobility on the mobility display screen. If the adjustment to the degree of mobility is accepted, the adjusted degree of mobility and end information described above are transmitted to the mobility evaluation support device 10; if the adjustment to the degree of mobility is not accepted, only the end information is transmitted.

Therefore, in the next step 320, the CPU 11 waits until it receives end information from the target user's terminal. In the next step 322, the CPU 11 determines whether the end information has been received along with the adjusted mobility degree, thereby determining whether the mobility degree has been adjusted by the target user, and if the determination is affirmative, proceeds to step 324.

In step 324, the CPU 11 stores (registers) the received adjusted mobility index as information indicating the mobility index in the subject information database 13C, and then proceeds to step 328.

On the other hand, if the determination in step 322 is negative, i.e., if the adjusted mobility level has not been received from the target user terminal, the process proceeds to step 326.

In step 326, the CPU 11 stores (registers) the degree of movement derived by the processing of step 316 as information indicating the degree of movement in the subject information database 13C, and then proceeds to step 328.

In step 328, the CPU 11 reads all of the mobility indices registered up to that point in the target person information database 13C for the spots corresponding to the spot names included in the received basic information, calculates the overall mobility indices using the read mobility indices as described above, and stores the calculated overall mobility in the corresponding area in the target area information database 13B, thereby updating the overall mobility indices for the corresponding spots.

In step 330, the CPU 11 derives the meaningful information described above. Note that in this embodiment, the mental health level and physical health level included in the meaningful information are derived as values indicating which level out of a predetermined number of levels (10 levels in this embodiment). In this embodiment, the mental health level is derived as the relative magnitude of the target person's mobility level (or, if an adjusted mobility level has been received, the adjusted mobility level) to the overall mobility level corresponding to the corresponding spot, where the overall mobility level is the median (here, 5). Also, in this embodiment, the physical health level is derived as the relative magnitude of the target person's walking distance per unit time to the average value of the walking distances per unit time for all targets corresponding to the corresponding spot, where the average value is the median (here, 5). However, it goes without saying that the mental health level and physical health level are not limited to these examples.

In step 332, the CPU 11 transmits the derived meaningful information to the subject terminal.

In the next step, step 334, the CPU 11 determines whether processing from step 308 onwards has been completed for all spots in the target area. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 308, but if the determination is positive, the process proceeds to step 336.

In step 336, the CPU 11 determines whether a predetermined end timing has arrived. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 300, whereas if the determination is positive, the process ends the current shopping mall evaluation support process. Note that in this embodiment, the end timing is the timing when the operator of the shopping mall evaluation support device 10 inputs an instruction to end the shopping mall evaluation support process via the input unit 14, but this is not limited to this.

The mobility rate for each subject and the overall mobility rate obtained by the mobility evaluation support device 10 according to this embodiment can also be effectively utilized in urban planning and regional planning (so-called town development).

For example, by using the overall mobility index, it is possible to understand that the higher the overall mobility index, the easier it is to "wander around," meaning that the target area is attractive, safe, and ultimately has a high level of economic activity, and it can be used as an index to judge the attractiveness of a target area.

As explained above, this embodiment acquires route information indicating the walking route of a subject in a target area for wandering, derives a wandering degree indicating the ratio of the distance per unit time of the route indicated by the acquired route information to the distance along the road, and presents information related to the derived wandering degree. Therefore, the wandering degree can be derived as an indication of the actual degree of wandering, thereby contributing to a higher level of support for the evaluation of wandering.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the degree of movement is corrected using the rate of change of the degree of movement over time. Therefore, the degree of movement can be derived with higher accuracy.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the derived degree of movement is used to further present meaningful information that is meaningful to the subject. This allows the subject to feel the significance of their movement, thereby increasing their motivation to move around.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, meaningful information includes health-related information, which can further increase motivation to wander around.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, health-related information includes both mental health-related information and physical health-related information. Therefore, it is possible for the subject to be able to understand this health-related information.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the degree of movement is derived for each attribute of the subject. Therefore, the degree of movement can be derived with higher accuracy.

In the above embodiment, the mobility degree is calculated by applying the ratio of the distance per unit time of the route indicated by the route information to the distance along the road, but this is not limited to this. For example, the mobility degree may be calculated by calculating the ratio of the distance per unit time of the route indicated by the route information to the straight-line distance from the start point to the end point of the route. In this case, the mobility degree can be calculated by applying the straight-line distance instead of the distance along the road, making it easier to derive the mobility degree.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a case where the mobility display screen is displayed as a screen different from the initial screen is described, but this is not limited to this. For example, the mobility display screen may be displayed as a pop-up screen on the initial screen. In this case, an example of a form in which the mobility display screen is displayed in the form of a so-called speech bubble from the position of the exit spot on the initial screen is possible.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a case has been described in which an area including the location of the subject's terminal is automatically applied as the target area, but this is not limited to this. For example, the subject may specify a remote location away from the location of the subject's terminal on an electronic map or by inputting the name of the remote location to specify the target area. Furthermore, information indicating the subject's preference trends may be acquired in advance by the wanderlust evaluation support device 10, and information on the target area according to the subject's preferences may be provided to the subject as needed.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the mobility of a target person for each spot is derived and displayed at the time when the target person leaves the spot, but this is not limited to this. For example, the mobility may be derived and displayed at the time when the target person leaves the target area.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the case where the migration evaluation support process is executed by the migration evaluation support device 10 has been described, but this is not limited to this. For example, the migration evaluation support process may be executed by each subject terminal 30. In this case, the migration evaluation support device of the present invention would be included in the subject terminal 30.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a case was described in which an image showing a map that highlights locations with a lot of information matching the target user's category was used as the social heat map image, but this is not limited to this. For example, an image in which the higher the overall visitor frequency of a spot, the deeper the red color may be used as the social heat map image.

In addition, in the above embodiment, for example, the hardware structure of the processing unit that executes the processes of the acquisition unit 11A, derivation unit 11B, and presentation unit 11C can use the various processors listed below. As mentioned above, the various processors include a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that executes software (programs) and functions as a processing unit, as well as dedicated electrical circuits, such as programmable logic devices (PLDs) that are processors whose circuit configuration can be changed after manufacture, such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), which are processors with a circuit configuration designed specifically to execute specific processes.

The processing unit may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). The processing unit may also be configured with a single processor.

Examples of a processing unit being configured with a single processor include, first, a form in which a single processor is configured with a combination of one or more CPUs and software, as typified by client and server computers, and this processor functions as the processing unit. Second, a form in which a processor is used to realize the functions of the entire system, including the processing unit, on a single IC (Integrated Circuit) chip, as typified by systems on chips (SoCs). In this way, the processing unit is configured as a hardware structure using one or more of the various processors listed above.

Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electrical circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements.
