The storage unit 32 also stores train route information, time information, map information, and the like, which are well known and will not be described in detail.

  Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  Initially, the operation | movement at the time of a route search is demonstrated with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation at the time of route search in the embodiment of the present invention. It is assumed that the user stores the route guidance program in the storage unit 16 of the mobile terminal 10 in advance via the network 100 or an external memory.

  Referring to FIG. 3, when the user holds the portable terminal 10 over the automatic ticket gate 20 when entering the ticket gate, the automatic ticket gate 20 transmits the entry information including the entry station name, the entry time, and the URL to the portable terminal 10 by non-contact communication. To do. Here, the URL is, for example, connection information to the route guidance web site established on the network 100 by the route guidance server 30. The non-contact IC 17 (more specifically, the control unit 171) of the mobile terminal 10 that has received the entrance information transmits the entrance information to the control unit 11 via the mobile terminal / non-contact IC interface unit 18. The control unit 11 stores the entrance information in the storage unit 16 (step A1).

  After passing through the automatic ticket gate 20, the user activates the route guidance program of the mobile terminal 10 (step A2). The control unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 checks whether the URL of the route guidance server 30 is stored in the storage unit 16. If not stored, the control unit 11 displays on the display unit 15 that the route guidance server 30 cannot be connected because the automatic ticket gate 20 has not been passed. If stored, the control unit 11 accesses the URL (step A3).

  The control unit 31 of the route guidance server 30 accessed from the mobile terminal 10 transmits the route search screen information to the mobile terminal 10 (step A4), and the control unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 displays the route search screen on the display unit 15. To do. On the route search screen, for example, an input field for a destination and a destination station and a search request button are included. In addition to this, a use route or the like may be added, but in the following description, the use route is not included. There are three types of user input items: (1) destination only, (2) destination and destination station, and (3) destination station only. Since the present invention is characterized by route guidance from the destination station to the destination, the destination is an indispensable item, but the user cannot remember the destination or the destination is a landmark in the route guidance server 30. There is a case where he / she is hesitant to input whether it is registered or unknown. In such a case, the user (3) inputs only the destination station, receives a landmark list corresponding to the destination station from the route guidance server 30 and selects a destination from the landmark list, as will be described later. (Step A5).

  When the input by the user is finished and the search request button is pressed on the screen, the control unit 11 checks whether the destination or the destination station is input (step A6 → step A7). If neither the destination nor the destination station is input, the control unit 11 displays on the display unit 15 to input the destination or the destination station (step A8). When either the destination or the destination station has been input, the control unit 11 requests a route search for the destination or the destination station input from the user and the entrance station and entrance time received from the automatic ticket gate 20. Information is transmitted to the route guidance server 30 (step A9).

  The control unit 31 of the route guidance server 30 that has received the route search request information checks whether or not the destination is included in the received information (step A10). When the destination is not included, the control unit 31 refers to the station corresponding landmark database 321, generates a list of landmarks registered corresponding to the destination station, and transmits the list to the mobile terminal 10 (step) A11). The control unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 displays a landmark list on the display unit 15, and the user selects a landmark at the destination or a landmark close to the destination with the input unit 14 on the screen, and the route guidance server 30. (Step A12).

When the destination is included in step A10 or when the destination is received in step A12, the control unit 31 refers to the station corresponding landmark database 321 and acquires the corresponding destination station from the destination. In addition,
In step A10, when the received destination is not registered in the station corresponding landmark database 321,
Or
-In step A10, when both the destination and the destination station are included, and the destination is registered corresponding to a station different from the destination station as a result of the search,
The control unit 31 transmits a message to that effect to the mobile terminal 10 and requests the user to re-enter the destination until the above problem is solved (step A13).

The control unit 31 of the route guidance server 30 that acquired the destination station in step A13 stores route information from the entrance station to the destination station and route information from the destination station to the destination in the route information stored in the storage unit 32, The timetable information and the map information are generated and transmitted to the mobile terminal 10. The route information is obtained from the station corresponding landmark database 321. Optimal ticket gate information of the target station (such as the name and number of the ticket gate closest to the landmark as the destination),
・ Optimum vehicle number information (the train vehicle number that stops closest to the optimal ticket gate at the destination station)
・ Optimum exit information of the destination station (station exit name and number closest to the destination landmark)
Is also included (step A14).

  The control unit 11 of the portable terminal 10 stores the received route information from the entrance station to the destination station and the route information from the destination station to the destination in the storage unit 16 (step A15). Next, the control part 11 displays the route information from an entrance station to the destination station on the display part 15 (step A16).

  Thereby, the user can know the route to the destination station, the optimum ticket gate and the optimum exit at the destination station, and the boarding vehicle number before boarding.

  Next, the operation of the route information display process from the destination station to the destination will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the route information display process from the destination station to the destination in one embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 4, when the user arrives at the destination station and holds the portable terminal 10 over the automatic ticket gate 20 when entering the ticket gate, the automatic ticket gate 20 transmits the erasure request information for the entry information to the portable terminal 10 by non-contact communication. (Step B1). The non-contact IC 17 of the portable terminal 10 transmits the received entry information erasure request information to the control unit 11. The control unit 11 erases the entrance information including the entrance station name, the entry time, and the URL received and stored in the storage unit 16 at the entrance of the ticket gate at the entrance station (step B2). And the control part 11 reads the route information from the destination station stored in the memory | storage part 16 to the destination, and displays it on the display part 15 (step B3).

  As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the automatic ticket checker 20 enters the venue, the information on the request for erasing the entry information is received and the route information from the destination station to the destination is automatically displayed. . As a result, the user can refer to the route to the destination at the timing of exiting the ticket gate of the destination station.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the entrance station name, the current time, and the like are transmitted from the automatic ticket gate 20 to the mobile terminal 10 when entering the ticket gate. For this reason, when the route search request from the mobile terminal 10 is made, an effect that the user can input the name of the station and the current time can be saved.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the route guidance server 30 is accessed using a URL that is acquired when the ticket gate is entered and deleted when the ticket gate is entered. For this reason, the use of the URL is limited to the time from the ticket gate entrance to the exit of the station, thereby preventing server down, delay, etc. due to an excessive number of accesses to the route guidance server 30, and other railways without route guidance services. The effect is that differentiation from the company can be achieved.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, a landmark list of corresponding destination candidates can be distributed just by inputting a destination station, and a destination can be selected from the landmark list. Therefore, there is an effect that the destination can be easily specified even when the user cannot remember the destination.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the route information display process from the destination station to the destination in another embodiment of the present invention.

  The difference between the present embodiment and the one embodiment described above is the part related to the display of route information from the destination station to the destination. Specifically, in one embodiment, the automatic ticket gate 20 at the destination station is displayed when the ticket is entered, but in this embodiment, the optimum ticket gate (the ticket gate closest to the destination) at the destination station is displayed. Display when a user arrives at the mouth). The arrival at the optimum ticket gate is determined by monitoring the coincidence between the position information of the mobile terminal 10 and the position information of the optimum ticket gate. For this reason, the portable terminal 10 in this Embodiment is further provided with position information acquisition means, such as GPS (Global Positioning System), compared with the structure (FIG. 1) of one Embodiment.

  Next, the operation of another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  Referring to FIG. 5, the operation at the time of route search shown in steps A1 to A13 in FIG. 3 is also applied to this embodiment as it is. Since the operations of Steps A1 to A13 are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted, and the operations of Steps C1 to C8 following Step A13 will be described.

The control unit 31 of the route guidance server 30 that acquired the destination station in step A13 of FIG. 3 stores the route information from the entrance station to the destination station and the route information from the destination station to the destination in the storage unit 32. The route information, the timetable information, and the map information are generated and transmitted to the mobile terminal 10. The route information is obtained from the station corresponding landmark database 321. Optimal ticket gate information of the target station (such as the name and number of the ticket gate closest to the landmark as the destination),
・ Location information (latitude / longitude, etc.) of the optimal ticket gate at the destination station
・ Optimum vehicle number information (the train vehicle number that stops closest to the optimal ticket gate at the destination station)
・ Optimum exit information of the destination station (station exit name and number closest to the destination landmark)
Is also included. Further, the route information from the entrance station to the destination station includes the required time from the entrance station to the destination station (step C1).

  The control unit 11 of the portable terminal 10 stores the received route information from the entrance station to the destination station and the route information from the destination station to the destination in the storage unit 16 (step C2). Next, the control part 11 displays the route information from an entrance station to the destination station on the display part 15 (step C3).

  Next, the control part 11 monitors progress of the required time to the destination station with a clock part (not shown) (step C4). When the required time has elapsed, the control unit 11 starts to acquire position information periodically (for example, every 10 seconds) by a position information acquisition unit such as a GPS (not shown), and receives the optimal ticket gate received from the route guidance server 30. It collates with position information (steps C5 and C6). If the position information matches as a result of the collation, the control unit 11 reads out the route information from the destination station to the destination stored in the storage unit 16 and displays it on the display unit 15 (steps C7 and C8).

  As described above, in another embodiment of the present invention, it is determined by collating position information that the user has arrived at the optimum ticket gate of the destination station, and the route information from the destination station to the destination is automatically determined. To be displayed. Thereby, the effect that the user can refer to the route to the destination at the timing when the user arrives at the optimum ticket gate of the destination station and heads for the destination is obtained.

  In another embodiment of the present invention, position information is acquired and verified periodically after the required time from the entrance station to the destination station has elapsed. For this reason, position information is acquired and collated after arrival at the destination station or slightly before arrival, and the effect of improving the efficiency of position information acquisition and collation processing in the mobile terminal 10 can be obtained.

  Next, application examples and modification examples of the present invention will be described.

  In the embodiment described above or other embodiments, the automatic ticket gate 20 has been described as transmitting the entrance information including the entrance station name, the entrance time, and the URL to the mobile terminal 10 by non-contact communication when entering the ticket gate. The admission time and URL may be as follows. For example, the entrance time is not transmitted from the automatic ticket gate 20, but the mobile terminal 10 obtains and transmits the current time from the clock unit inside the mobile terminal 10 when making a route search request to the route guidance server 30. Also good. Further, the URL stored in advance in the storage unit 16 of the mobile terminal 10 may be read out without being transmitted from the automatic ticket gate 20. Thereby, the effect that the information which the automatic ticket gate 20 transmits to the portable terminal 10 by non-contact communication decreases is acquired.

  In one embodiment described above or other embodiments, the non-contact IC 17 of the portable terminal 10 transmits the entrance information received from the automatic ticket gate 20 to the control unit 11 when the ticket gate is entered, and the control unit 11 stores the storage unit 16. Explained as storing in. On the other hand, the entrance information received by the non-contact IC 17 from the automatic ticket gate 20 is stored in the storage unit 174 inside the non-contact IC 17 so that the control unit 11 refers to the route search request to the route guidance server 30. Also good. In this case, the erasure of the entry information when entering from the automatic ticket gate 20 is also erased from the storage unit 174 of the non-contact IC 17.

  In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the automatic ticket gate 20 transmits the erasure request information of the entrance information to the mobile terminal 10 at the ticket gate appearance at the destination station.
