The control unit 11 of the server apparatus 10 realizes functions corresponding to the information acquisition unit 111, the determination unit 112, the movement method search unit 113, and the information transmission unit 114 by executing a program. The control unit 21 of the communication terminal device 20 implements functions corresponding to the reception unit 211, the information transmission unit 212, the information acquisition unit 213, and the notification unit 214 by executing a program.

  In the communication terminal device 20, the reception unit 211 receives an input of a destination. For example, the reception unit 211 receives an input of a destination based on information input by the user via the UI unit 23.

  The information transmitting unit 212 transmits the destination information received by the receiving unit 211 and the position information indicating the position of the user measured by the positioning unit 24 to the server device 10 via the communication unit 22. .

In the server device 10, the information acquisition unit 111 acquires the information transmitted by the information transmission unit 212 via the communication unit 12.
The determination unit 112 determines whether there is a vehicle that can be used by the user within a predetermined distance from the position of the user of the communication terminal device 20. The determination unit 112 specifies the position of the user of the communication terminal device 20 using the position information acquired by the information acquisition unit 111. The determination unit 112 identifies a vehicle that can be used by the user of the communication terminal device 20 by communicating with the search device 30 via the communication unit 12.

  The vehicle that can be used by the user is, for example, a private car C owned by the user. The determination unit 112 determines that the distance between the communication terminal device 20 and the private vehicle C is within a predetermined distance based on the positional information indicating the position of the user and the positional information indicating the position of the private vehicle C acquired from the search device 30. If it is determined that there is a vehicle that can be used by the user within the predetermined distance from the position of the user.

  Vehicles available to the user include vehicles in public transportation (eg, trains and buses). In the case of a vehicle in public transport, the determination unit 112 determines whether the communication terminal device 20 and the boarding location are based on the location information indicating the location of the user and the location information indicating the location of the boarding location such as a station or bus stop. When it is determined that the distance is within the predetermined distance, it is determined that there is a vehicle that can be used by the user within a predetermined distance from the user's position. The determination unit 112 may obtain the location information of the boarding / exiting location from the travel guidance DB 13.

  Further, the vehicle that can be used by the user may be a vehicle other than public transportation, and may be a vehicle owned by a person other than the user (for example, a car or a company car in car sharing). Moreover, the vehicle which a user can utilize may be a vehicle which a person other than a user drives (for example, taxi). Moreover, the vehicle of this embodiment is not restricted to a motor vehicle, but includes vehicles, such as a bicycle. The method for determining whether or not these vehicles are within a predetermined distance from the user's position may be the same method as for the private vehicle C, or to a management device (not shown) that manages vehicle allocation. Other methods, such as inquiring via, may be used.

  When the determination unit 112 determines that there is a vehicle that can be used by the user within a predetermined distance from the user position, the movement method search unit 113 uses the vehicle from the user position to the destination. Explore travel methods. The movement method search unit 113 searches for one or more movement methods based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 111 and the movement guide DB 13.

  The information transmission unit 114 transmits the information on the movement method searched by the movement method search unit 113 to the communication terminal device 20 via the communication unit 12.

In the communication terminal device 20, the information acquisition unit 213 acquires the information transmitted by the information transmission unit 114 via the communication unit 22.
The notification unit 214 notifies the user of the movement method searched by the movement method search unit 113 based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 213. When the determination unit 112 determines that there is a vehicle that can be used by the user within a predetermined distance from the user position, the notification unit 214 uses the vehicle from the user position to the destination. To the user.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing related to the travel guidance service executed in the notification system 1. 6 and 7 are diagrams for explaining an operation example of the present embodiment. The map shown in FIG.6 and FIG.7 is a map of one area in which a movement guidance service is provided.
First, the control unit 21 of the communication terminal apparatus 20 receives an input of a destination based on information input using the UI unit 23 (step S1). There is no specific method for specifying destination information. For example, it is possible to directly specify an address by inputting a character string or specifying a position on a map, or a place of getting on and off a public transportation vehicle such as a station or a stop. There are designation and landmark designation.

  Next, the control unit 21 transmits, to the server device 10 via the communication unit 12, the information on the destination that has received the input in step S1 and the position information that indicates the position of the user measured by the positioning unit 24. (Step S2). In step S2, the control unit 21 also transmits identification information unique to the own device. The control unit 11 of the server device 10 acquires (receives) the information transmitted in step S2 via the communication unit 12 (step S3).

  Next, the control part 21 searches for the vehicle which exists in the predetermined distance from the user's position of the communication terminal device 20, and the said user can use (step S4). Here, the control unit 21 searches for a vehicle that can be used by the user within the search range based on the position of the user of the communication terminal device 20. When searching for the private vehicle C, the control unit 11 is based on the acquired identification information unique to the communication terminal device 20 and the unique identification information acquired from the search device 30, and the user of the communication terminal device 20. Identify private cars owned by.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the position of the user is P1, and the private vehicle C exists within the search range R. Here, the search range R is a circular range centered on the position of the user, but may be a range determined by other methods. In this case, the control unit 11 identifies the private vehicle C as an available vehicle within the search range R. In the example shown in FIG. 6B, the position of the user is P1, and the private car C does not exist within the search range R, but the A station exists. In this case, the control unit 11 specifies the train that stops at the station A as an available vehicle within the search range R. However, the control unit 11 identifies the train as a vehicle that can be used on the condition that the train arrives at the A station within a predetermined time (for example, within 10 minutes), and can be used otherwise. Not specified as a vehicle. For example, if the train does not arrive due to a public transportation schedule or an accident or the like, the control unit 11 does not identify the vehicle as an available vehicle. The C bus stop is also included in the search range R, but the bus does not arrive at the C bus stop within a predetermined time. As shown in FIG. 7, the A station and the C bus bower exist within the search range R, but the train does not arrive at the A station within a predetermined time, and the bus arrives at the C bus bower within a predetermined time. In this case, the control unit 11 identifies this bus as a vehicle that can be used.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the control unit 11 determines whether there is a vehicle available to the user in the search range R (step S <b> 5). When it determines with "YES" at step S5, the control part 11 is based on the acquired destination information, the positional information which shows the user's position measured by the positioning part 24, and the movement guidance DB 13, based on the user's information. One or a plurality of movement methods from the position to the destination are searched (step S6).

The search for the movement method in step S6 is performed as follows.
As shown in FIG. 6A, when the private vehicle C is identified as a vehicle that can be used by the user existing in the search range R, the control unit 11 performs the private vehicle C from the user's position to the destination. Search for a moving method using. Here, the control unit 11 makes a 1-minute walk from the user's position P1 to the east at “□ × intersection”, then gets on the private car C (arrow A1) and goes east for 1.3 km. Turn right at "Intersection" and go straight for 500m (arrow A2) to search for a movement method indicating arrival at the destination P2. Thus, when the private vehicle C is specified as an available vehicle that exists in the search range R, the control unit 11 uses route guidance that guides the route of the link (road) that the user should move as the moving method. Explore.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, when a train that stops at station A is identified as an available vehicle that exists within the search range R, the control unit 11 uses the train from the user's position to the destination. Explore how to move. Here, the control unit 11 walks from the user's position P1 to “A station” (arrow A3), “A station” to “B station” is a train on the route X, and “B station” to the destination A search is made for a moving method in which walking is up to P2 (arrow A4). This moving method also includes information on train arrival and departure times and fees.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when a bus that stops at the C bus bower is specified as an available vehicle existing in the search range R, the control unit 11 uses this bus from the user's position to the destination. Explore travel methods. Here, the control unit 11 walks from the user's position P1 to “C bus bower” (arrow A5), and takes a bus from “C bus bower” to “○ □ shopping center” (arrow A6). Explore. This moving method includes information on bus arrival and departure times and fare.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the control part 11 transmits the information of the searched movement method to the communication terminal device 20 via the communication part 12 (step S7).

  The control unit 21 of the communication terminal device 20 acquires (receives) the information on the movement method transmitted in step S7 via the communication unit 22 (step S8). Next, the control unit 21 notifies the user of the movement method based on the information acquired in step S8. In step S8, the control unit 11 notifies the user of the map shown in the upper part of FIGS. 6 and 7 and the detailed movement method shown in the lower part by display on the UI part 13 (step S9).

  As shown in FIG. 6A, when there is a private vehicle C within the search range R, the user can move using the private vehicle C according to the notified movement method. As shown in FIG. 6B and FIG. 7, when the private vehicle C is outside the search range R, the moving method using the private vehicle C is not notified. Therefore, a user is less likely to erroneously select a moving method using a private car C that is far away or a moving method using a public transportation vehicle that the user cannot get on immediately.

  In step S <b> 9, the control unit 21 may notify the plurality of movement methods described in FIGS. 6A and 6B and FIG. 7. In addition, the control unit 11 displays the menus of the plurality of movement methods searched for in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 on the same screen, and displays the movement method corresponding to the menu selected via the UI unit 23 as the UI unit. 23 may be displayed.

  According to the notification system 1 of the embodiment described above, the user is notified of a method of moving from the position of the user using the vehicle that can be actually used to the destination. Thereby, since the moving method using the vehicle which a user cannot actually use is not notified, it can be expected that convenience for the user is improved.

[Modification]
The present invention can be implemented in a form different from the above-described embodiment. The present invention can also be implemented in the following forms, for example. Further, the following modifications may be combined as appropriate.
(Modification 1)
The control unit 11 may dynamically change the size of the search range R. For example, the control unit 11 may change the size of the search range R based on the user attribute or state. User attributes include user attributes such as the user's age and sex. In this case, the control unit 21 increases the search range R as the user's age is younger. In addition, when the gender is male, the control unit 11 increases the search range R compared to the case of female. The user state includes the physical state of the user. When the physical condition is good, the control unit 11 enlarges the search range R than when the physical condition is not good or when the foot is inconvenient.
The control unit 11 may identify these user attributes and user states based on information input to the communication terminal device 20 by the user, or information detected by a sensor mounted on the communication terminal device 20. You may specify based on.

  The control unit 11 may change the size of the search range R based on the surrounding environment. There is weather as a surrounding environment. For example, the control unit 11 acquires weather information via the network 100, and makes the search range R larger than when it is rainy when the present is fine weather. In addition to this, information on the surrounding environment such as the amount of snow may be used.

(Modification 2)
The control unit 11 may determine the presence or absence of a vehicle that can be used by the user based on the presence or absence of a person driving the vehicle. For example, when sharing a vehicle (automobile) with another person by car sharing or the like, the control unit 11 inquires of the management device that manages the allocation of the vehicle, and if it cannot be used because of reservation or the like, The vehicle is not determined as a usable vehicle. Conversely, the control unit 11 determines that this vehicle is an available vehicle when no reservation is made. At this time, the control unit 11 may perform processing for reserving use of the vehicle. Moreover, in the case of the substitute driving service for the private vehicle C, the control unit 11 may determine that the private vehicle C can be used when a person who performs the substitute operation can be arranged.

(Modification 3)
Even when it is determined that there is a vehicle that can be used by the user within the search range R, the control unit 11 may not notify the moving method using the vehicle when a predetermined condition regarding the vehicle is satisfied. .
For example, when there is no place where the vehicle is stopped at the destination, the control unit 11 may not notify the moving method using the vehicle. As to whether or not there is a place where the vehicle is to be stopped at the destination, for example, information may be registered in advance in the movement guide DB 13.
Moreover, the control part 11 may vary the presence or absence of the notification of a movement method according to a congestion degree. The degree of congestion is a value that serves as an index of the number of people or vehicles present. The control unit 11 acquires the current congestion level via the network 100. And the control part 11 does not notify the moving method using the said path | route, when a path | route with a comparatively high congestion degree is included.
The control unit 11 uses the vehicle based on the remaining amount of fuel in the vehicle, the presence or absence of a driver's license for driving the vehicle, and the presence or absence of a card for paying a fee for using the toll road. The presence / absence of notification of the movement method may be varied.

(Modification 4)
The control unit 11 may determine a user's situation and change a moving method to be notified. The control unit 11 may notify the movement method using the vehicle on which the user is currently riding. For example, when the control unit 11 determines that the user is on a train, the control unit 11 notifies a moving method using the train, and does not notify a moving method not using the train (for example, a moving method using a bus). The user's situation may be specified by a known method. For example, the control unit 11 may determine whether or not the vehicle is in a public transportation vehicle with reference to a temporal change in the position information of the communication terminal device 20 measured by the positioning unit 24.
The user's situation may be the user's physical condition. For example, if the user is in poor physical condition, the control unit 11 does not notify a moving method including a vehicle with a large shake. Moreover, the control part 11 may determine the moving method to notify based on a possession money, a policy, the presence or absence of a load, the weather, etc. as a user's condition. In this case, the control part 11 can change the information of the movement method notified by each of the some person who exists in the same point. Thereby, it becomes easy to notify the information of the movement method suitable for every person.

(Modification 5)
After notifying the movement method, the control unit 11 may learn the movement method actually used by the user and notify the next and subsequent movement methods. For example, the control unit 11 specifies a moving method used by the user in cooperation with a social networking service used by the user. For example, after notifying the traveling method using the train, if the user determines that the user has used the train, the controller 11 gives priority to the traveling method including the train thereafter.

(Modification 6)
The control unit 11 may change the notification of the movement method according to the person with whom the user is present. For example, the control unit 11 changes the notification of the movement method based on the number of persons present together. When there is no person who is present together, the control unit 11 notifies the moving method having a short moving time, while when there are a plurality of people, the control unit 11 notifies each moving method and notifies the moving method having a longer common route. To do.

(Modification 7)
The communication terminal device 20 may realize part or all of the functions of the server device 10 described above. For example, the communication terminal device 20 may realize the functions of the determination unit 112 and the movement method search unit 113. In this case, the communication terminal apparatus 20 searches for a movement method by inquiring of an apparatus including an external movement guide DB 13 connected to the network 100.

(Modification 8)
Some of the configurations and operations described in the above-described embodiments may be omitted. Further, the order of the processes described in the above-described embodiments may be changed as appropriate.
