At the top of the lower right frame, the boarding station and the getting off station are displayed, then you can select the departure / arrival time, then the priority of the display is time, fare, or the number of transfers Can be selected or input. Below that, it is possible to select between weekdays, Saturdays and holidays.
When these selection inputs are completed and the member user clicks the “display” button 121 at the bottom of this frame,
Again, the Web push unit 12 of the waiting time setting server 12
f, the information is sent to the transfer guidance function unit 13c of the station exploration club 13, and the Web push unit 12f acquires detailed information (step S104). The result is sent from the Web push unit 12f to the queuing database 12b as detailed information such as a route, a time, and a fee as shown in FIG. Further, the search result is screen-structured by the search setting section 12d, and the HTML display section 1d.
It is displayed through 2a (step S105).

In this example, the time is prioritized, and the time is displayed in ascending order of time on condition that the user arrives at the meeting place by the meeting time. At this time, since both the route and the fee are displayed, a route with a cheap fee can be selected in a short time from the plurality of displayed options.

As described above, the user who has received the meeting e-mail inputs a convenient station to go to the meeting place, and when and how to go to that station, You can also know the price at the time.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, the e-mail recipient is notified of the Internet address having the map of the meeting place or the map is sent. However, not only the sender of the meeting e-mail but also the receiver may know the place without a map if they hear the place name, and it is not always necessary to send the map information of the meeting place in the present invention.
