FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a travel itinerary creation device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The travel itinerary creation device 1 includes an input unit 10, a storage unit 20, a processing unit 30, and a display unit 40. The input means 10 inputs a departure place / destination, a destination priority, a time setting, a setting condition, and the like by a user operation. The storage means 20 includes a map database 21 in which map information is stored, a travel itinerary condition database 2
2 and a destination priority database 23 are included. The processing means 30 performs processing such as optimal route search (condition determination processing, time calculation processing) based on the input data from the input means 10 and the data in the storage means 20. Display means 4
0 indicates an input screen for inputting data by the input means 10, a travel result obtained by the processing of the processing means 30, a route, and the like. The travel itinerary creation device 1 can be connected to the Internet, and by clicking on a URL displayed on the display means 40, can go to a corresponding homepage and collect travel information. .

FIG. 2 is a travel itinerary condition database 2 of FIG.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of data No. 2; The travel condition database 22 includes a means of transportation, a speed of traveling,
There are items such as travel speed, course priority, traveler, and stay time. As for the means of transportation, "train", "bus",
The setting is appropriately selected from “car” and the like. In addition, as another setting, an item of “walk when distance is 1 km or less” is provided, and when the item is checked, when the moving distance is 1 km or less, automatic setting is performed. The transportation means will be set to walk.
In the example shown in the figure, the content of the transportation means is set to “all cars”.

In the item of the speed at the time of moving, one of "fast", "normal" and "slow" is selected. In the example shown in the figure, "slow" is set. The moving speed is obtained by calculating (speed determined by the above “moving means”) × (coefficient determined by “the speed of moving”), or the calculated value is calculated by two items (moving means). And a speed at the time of movement), a matrix table (moving speed table) may be formed in advance, and a corresponding one may be selected from the matrix table. In the illustrated example, “car” and “slow” are set in the above two items, and the moving speed is set to 30 km / h.

The items of the course priority are items to be prioritized and reflected in the priority order, and include items such as "cost", "couple", and "mature". For the traveler, the user is selected from “family”, “couple”, and the like. In the illustrated example, “family” is set. As for the stay time, the user is allowed to select the stay time from “long”, “normal”, “short”, and the like. In the case of "short", for example, it is set to 30 minutes.
It is assumed that the stay time is similarly set for “long” and “normal”. In the illustrated example, “short” is set.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are explanatory diagrams showing the contents of the destination priority database 23. FIG. 3A shows a basic priority table, and FIG. 3B shows a user priority table. . The basic priority table is divided into major categories,
It is classified into a middle classification, a small classification, a destination name, and a category, and each destination name is provided with a base point. This base point means that the higher it is, the higher the priority. Also, in the user priority table, the destination name is the user (family, couple,
There is a coefficient according to the age. Even if the destination name is, for example, “Matsumoto Castle”, a coefficient is assigned such as 1 for a family, 0.9 for a couple, and 1 for a mature person. Coefficients are also attached to the cost and time as items to be prioritized, and the larger these coefficients, the closer to the above-mentioned basic points. For example, regarding "Matsumoto Castle", there are 98 basic points. In the case of the family, the coefficient is 1.0, so the score is 98, but in the case of the couple, the coefficient is 0.9, so the score is 88.2. Further, the score differs depending on whether “cost” or “time” is selected as a priority item. When "cost" is prioritized, "Matsumoto Castle" (coefficient: 0.7) is 68.6 in the case of a family, but is 68.6 in the case of a couple.
It becomes 7. Then, when "time" is prioritized, the coefficient is 0.9, so that the coefficient is 88.2 in the case of the family but is 79.4 in the case of the couple. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a family and a cost are set.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation procedure of the input means 10, and FIGS. 5 to 9 are explanatory views of the input screen of the display means 40 corresponding to the operation points. (S11) The user operates the input means 10 to input a departure point and a departure time, and a destination and a arrival time. By this data input, the overall distance of the itinerary and the time to be spent (scheduled time) are determined. The departure point and the arrival point may be selected directly from the map, or the user may select a point registered in the system in advance. FIG. 5 shows the input screen at this time.

(S12) The user operates the input means 10 to select a spot (destination) to drop in on the way. In that case, it is decided from the score information of the spot, the guidance, the homepage and the like. FIG. 6 shows the input screen at this time. In this input screen, when the traveler is set as a family, the destination names and points are listed in descending order of the scores for sightseeing spots. The user selects a spot from the list and adds a destination. At this time, if the user wants travel information, the user can click on a desired URL from the displayed URLs to go to the home page and obtain travel information.

The items set by default in the travel itinerary condition database shown in FIG. 2 are used as long as the settings are not changed, but can be arbitrarily changed by a user operation. For example, in the above example, the moving means is set to "all cars", but it is also possible to cancel the setting and set the moving means for each destination. By unchecking the item of walking, the setting can be canceled.

(S14) If the travel itinerary does not fit within the scheduled time, the processing means 30 changes the travel itinerary manually, makes it semi-automatically within the time with the advice of the system, or leaves it to the system. Prompts the user for automatic reconfiguration. FIG. 8 shows the display screen of the display means 40 at this time. By clicking a desired button among the buttons of "automatic", "semi-automatic", and "manual", the processing shifts to the corresponding processing.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the process of optimizing the travel itinerary when the "auto" button in FIG. 8 is clicked. (S21) The scheduled time is calculated based on the departure point and the departure time and the arrival point and the arrival time input by the above operation (S11). (S22) The destination (stop-by place) input by the above operation (S12) is fetched. (S23) By the above operation (S13), the optimal route to the destination via all the destinations inputted from the departure point is searched by referring to the map information of the map database 21, and the travel time + The time required for travel is calculated from the stay time. Here, the optimum route search is the link information attached to a road in the map information of the map database 21 (the link information is a table summarizing additional information such as the distance of the road and the degree of congestion. Since the link table is configured in units of intersections), which road is used and the total of the link information becomes the optimal value (the combination that minimizes the cost is called the optimal value as the normal cost). Search for a link combination
This is a search method for determining (route), and the search method is a known method. When the optimum route is searched, the travel distance is known. Therefore, the travel time is calculated based on the travel speed setting contents of the travel itinerary condition database 22 in FIG. 2, and the travel time and the stay time of the destination (FIG. 2) is added to obtain the planned time. If the moving means is composed of a plurality of types (cars, buses), the moving time is calculated by adding the moving times.

(S24) The scheduled time is compared with the planned time. If the latter is smaller than the former, the creation of the itinerary is completed, but if the latter is larger than the former, the process proceeds to the next step. (S25) In a descending order of priority, a preset time is subtracted from the stay time at the destination, and the result is reflected in the planned time. (S26) If the calculated stay time falls short of the preset minimum stay time, the destination is omitted. When the destination is omitted, the route is searched again and the above processing (S2
Go to 4). Then, the processing (S25) and (S2
The process of 6) is repeated until the planned time becomes smaller than the scheduled time. In the process of reducing the stay time, the set time is subtracted from the stay time of the destination in the order of the lowest priority. For example, when the destinations A, B, and C have the priority of A to C, the staying time of C is deleted first, and when the staying time is subsequently deleted, the staying time of B is deleted. Will be. This is the same in FIG. 10 described later.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the process of optimizing the travel itinerary when the "semi-automatic" button in FIG. 8 is clicked. (S30) This is the same as the above processing (S21) to (S23). (S31) The scheduled time is compared with the planned time. If the latter is smaller than the former, the creation of the itinerary is completed, but if the latter is larger than the former, the process proceeds to the next process. (S32) A message for reducing the staying time at the destination is displayed on the display means 40 in the order of priority. FIG. 11 shows the input screen at that time. (S33) If the user does not delete the data, the process returns to the above process (S32). In the above processing (S32), a message for reducing the staying time at the destination is issued in the order of the next lowest priority. User input means 1
If the user inputs an instruction to cut by operating 0, the process proceeds to the next process.

(S34) A process for reducing the staying time at the corresponding destination is performed, and subtracted from the planned time. (S35) If the stay time of the calculation result is shorter than the preset minimum stay time, a message for omitting the destination is issued. (S36) If the user has determined and did not omit, the process returns to the above process (S31). When the user operates the input unit 10 to input an omission, the process proceeds to the next process. (S37) A process for omitting the corresponding destination is performed, and after the route is searched again, the route is subtracted from the planned time. And
The above processes (S31) to (S37) are repeated, and if the planned time is shorter than the scheduled time in the process (S31), the creation of the travel itinerary is completed.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which “cost” and “family” are set in the items of the travel itinerary condition database 22 has been described.
The same processing is performed when “time” and “couple” or “mature” are selected and set.

In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the stay time is constant irrespective of the place. However, the stay time may be different for each place, or the minimum stay time (the destination may be deleted). Stay time as a criterion)
May also be different for each location.

[0036]

As described above, according to the present invention, priorities are assigned to destinations (drop-off points), and when the planned time exceeds the scheduled time, the destinations with lower priorities are assigned. We ’ve adjusted the planned time by subtracting the time spent in
The effect is obtained that the data of the destination need not be re-entered.
