And the like.

The trigger device 10 is an information transmission device installed in a waiting room such as a station, an airport, or a hotel, a gas station, a toll booth on an expressway, or the like. This trigger device 10 has a function of transmitting trigger information (trigger device ID, trigger identification information) to the periphery by short-range radio at all times or at predetermined time intervals. As this short-range wireless communication means, for example, Bluetooth is used. The trigger device ID is a unique identification number or the like set in advance for each trigger device 10 and can uniquely identify each trigger device 10. The trigger identification information is information for the user terminal 20 to identify that it is information received from the trigger device 10, and is, for example, a specific keyword.

The user terminal 20 is a mobile information terminal such as a mobile phone, a PHS (Personal Handyphone System), a PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), or a mobile information terminal such as a car navigation device mounted on an automobile. The portable information terminal is a user terminal 20 used by a user who is moving on foot, by bicycle, car, or the like, and the car navigation device is used as a user terminal 20 when the user moves by car. The user terminal 20 includes a control unit 21, a short-range wireless communication unit 22, a movement / stop state detection unit 23, a storage unit 24, and a display unit 25. The control unit 21 is a control device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and its operation is controlled by a program. The control unit 21

A function for displaying and reproducing distribution information received from the information distribution server 30;
-A function to end the display and playback of distribution information when the user's movement status is detected,
It has.
The short-range wireless communication unit 22 is a communication unit that performs wireless communication with the trigger device 10 by Bluetooth, for example. The movement / stop state detection unit 23 is a sensor that detects whether the user is in a movement state or a stop state, and is, for example, a speed sensor or an acceleration sensor. Since these sensors are publicly known and the details thereof are not the gist of the present invention, the description thereof will be omitted. The storage unit 24 is a storage device that stores a program (not shown), an address of the information distribution server 30, and the like. The display unit 25 is a display such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) that displays characters and images, or an output unit that outputs voice and music.

  The information distribution server 30 is an information processing apparatus such as a workstation server, and includes a control unit 31 and a storage unit 32. The control unit 31 is a control device such as a CPU, and its operation is controlled by a program. The control unit 31 has a function of extracting distribution information corresponding to the trigger device ID received from the user terminal 20 and a function of transmitting the extracted distribution information to the user terminal 20. The storage unit 32 is a writable / readable storage device, and includes a trigger device database 321 and a distribution information database 322. As shown in FIG. 2 (a diagram showing an example of data stored in the trigger device database 321), the trigger device database 321 includes location information (address, latitude / longitude, etc.) of the installation location of the trigger device 10 as the trigger device. Pre-registered for ID correspondence. In the distribution information database 322, as shown in FIG. 3 (a diagram showing an example of data stored in the distribution information database 322), distribution information is registered in advance in correspondence with location information (address, latitude / longitude, etc.). . This distribution information is, for example, store information or event information around the place specified by the place information.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

  In the present embodiment, a case where a user stops at a gas station where the trigger device 10 is installed for refueling will be described as an example.

  Referring to FIG. 4, the trigger device 10 installed at the gas station transmits the trigger device ID and the trigger identification information to the surroundings by short-range wireless (for example, Bluetooth) at all times or at predetermined time intervals ( Step A1).

  When the user arrives at the gas station and enters the reception range of the short-range wireless communication from the trigger device 10, the short-range wireless communication unit 22 of the user terminal 20 receives the trigger device ID and the trigger identification information, and the control unit 21 (Step A2).

  When receiving the trigger identification information from the trigger device 10, the control unit 21 refers to the detection result of the movement / stop state detection unit 23 and monitors whether the user is in the stop state. Note that the determination of the stop state in the movement / stop state detection unit 23 is, for example, determined that the speed is zero when the speed sensor has reached zero, but if the speed is not zero, it is determined to be a predetermined value or less. You may make it judge that it is a stop. When the control unit 21 receives the detection information of the user stop state by the movement / stop state detection unit 23 within a predetermined time (for example, within 30 seconds) from the reception of the information from the trigger device 10, the control unit 21 determines that the information request is possible. . At this time, the control unit 21 performs time monitoring for 30 seconds with reference to a clock unit (not shown). On the other hand, when the user stop state is not received within a predetermined time from the reception of information from the trigger device 10, the control unit 21 determines that the information request is impossible because the user is not in the stop state, and ends the process. In addition, in the above description, the predetermined time is defined as the timing at which the user terminal 20 receives information from the trigger device 10 and the timing at which the user stops do not always match. This is for absorption (step A3). When the control unit 21 determines that information can be requested, the address of the information distribution server 30 is acquired from the storage unit 24, and the information distribution server 30 is accessed and the trigger device ID is transmitted (step A4).

  The control unit 31 of the information distribution server 30 that has received the trigger device ID refers to the trigger device database 321 and acquires the location information registered for the received trigger device ID (see FIG. 2). And the control part 31 extracts the delivery information registered corresponding to the acquired location information from the delivery information database 322 (refer FIG. 3) (step A5). Next, the control unit 31 transmits the extracted distribution information to the user terminal 20 (step A6).

  The user terminal 20 that has received the distribution information displays and reproduces the distribution information on the display unit 25 (step A7). In this state, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 monitors the detection result of the movement / stop state detection unit 23. When the user finishes refueling and resumes movement, the movement / stop state detection unit 23 detects the movement state. In this movement state detection, for example, when the speed by the speed sensor is no longer 0, it is determined as movement, but it may be determined as movement when the speed exceeds a predetermined value (step A8). When the movement / stop state detection unit 23 detects the movement state, the control unit 21 stops displaying and reproducing the distribution information on the display unit 25 (step A9).

  In the first embodiment described above, when the user terminal 20 receives the trigger information from the trigger device 10 and the user stop state is detected within a certain time from the reception of the trigger information, the user terminal 20 receives information To deliver. Thereby, since the user receives the distribution information only when the user is in a waiting time such as during refueling or in a stopped state, an effect of increasing the probability of browsing or listening to the distribution information can be obtained.

  In addition, when the user changes from the stopped state to the moving state, the display and reproduction of the distribution information is automatically stopped. Therefore, the display and reproduction of the distribution information can be performed only when the user is stopped. The effect that it can be obtained.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the first embodiment described above, the trigger device 10 has been described as being installed in a waiting room of a station, an airport, a hotel, etc., a gas station, a toll booth on an expressway, etc. In this embodiment, Installed in traffic signal device. The traffic signal device is, for example, a traffic signal on a road, a crossing alarm, or the like. The traffic signal is prohibited from passing when the signal turns red, and the level crossing alarm is prohibited from passing when the circuit breaker is down or when the alarm sound is sounding. In the present embodiment, these traffic signals, level crossing alarms, and the like are used as the trigger device 10A. The trigger information is transmitted at a predetermined time interval or always in the first embodiment, but in this embodiment, the trigger information is transmitted at a stop signal such as a traffic signal or a railroad crossing alarm. Is different.

  Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the second embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 5, the difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the first embodiment is a single installation type trigger device 10, whereas the present embodiment is a trigger. The point is that the device 10 takes the form of being included in a traffic signal or a crossing alarm. And the traffic signal machine, level crossing alarm, etc. in which the trigger device 10 is included are shown as the trigger device 10A. The traffic signal has a traffic signal switching function (switching of red, blue, yellow signal, etc.) for controlling switching of traffic signals. This traffic signal control function is publicly known and the gist of the present invention. Since it is not a place, explanation is omitted. The trigger device 10A has a traffic signal monitoring function for monitoring traffic signal states (for example, a red signal, a blue signal, and a yellow signal). In the monitoring by the traffic signal monitoring function, for example, information on which signal is switched at the time of signal switching by the traffic signal control function may be obtained, or the output state of each signal may be monitored. Other configurations of the user terminal 20 and the information distribution server 30 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

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

  Referring to FIG. 6, the trigger device 10A detects whether the traffic signal has become a stop signal (a red signal for a traffic signal, an alarm sounding state for a railroad crossing alarm or a state in which a breaker is lowered, etc.) (step B1).

  When the trigger device 10A detects that it has become a stop signal, the trigger device ID and trigger identification information are transmitted to the surroundings by short-range wireless (for example, Bluetooth). This transmission is performed until the stop signal becomes another signal (for example, a green signal for a traffic signal), as will be described later in Step B12. In addition, 10 A of trigger apparatuses shall equip a short-distance radio | wireless communication means with the antenna which has the directivity which can be received by the user who stopped and lined up (step B2).

  When the user stops with a stop signal and enters the reception range of the short-range wireless communication from the trigger device 10A, the short-range wireless communication unit 22 of the user terminal 20 receives the trigger device ID and the trigger identification information and notifies the control unit 21 (Step B3).

  Hereinafter, the operations of Step B4 to Step B10 are the same as the operations of Step A3 to Step A9 of FIG. 4 (first embodiment), and thus description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the operation of Step B11 to Step B12 will be described.

  When the trigger device 10A detects that the stop signal has ended and switched to another signal (step B11), the trigger device 10A stops transmitting the trigger identification information and the trigger device ID by short-range radio (step B12).

  In the second embodiment described above, trigger information is transmitted from the trigger device 10A only when a traffic signal or a crossing stop signal is received. As a result, compared to the first embodiment, the trigger device 10A can eliminate unnecessary transmission, and the user can further effectively receive trigger information only when stopping or about to stop. It is done.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the traffic signal has been switched from a stop signal (for example, a red signal) to another signal (for example, a green signal), that is, the stop signal has been completed, compared to the second embodiment described above. The point which transmits this to the user terminal 20 is added.

  Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the configuration of the third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the third embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 7, this embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that stop signal end information is added as information that the trigger device 10 </ b> B transmits to the user terminal 20. This stop signal end information is information for the user terminal 20 to identify that the stop signal has ended, and is, for example, a specific keyword or signal.

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

  Since the operations of Step C1 to Step C9 in FIG. 8 are the same as the operations of Step B1 to Step B9 in FIG. 6 (second embodiment), description thereof will be omitted, and operations after Step C10 will be described.

  After step C2, the trigger device 10B monitors whether the stop signal has ended (for example, whether the red signal has been switched to the blue signal) (step C10). When the stop signal ends, the trigger device 10B stops transmitting the trigger identification information and the trigger device ID, and instead transmits the stop signal end information to the surroundings by the short-range radio for a predetermined time (step C11). The control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 detects the distribution information on the display unit 25 when the movement / stop state detection unit 23 detects the movement state in step C9 or receives stop signal end information from the trigger device 10B. Display and playback are stopped (step C12).

  In the third embodiment described above, stop signal end information is transmitted from the trigger device 10B to the user terminal 20 when the traffic signal or the railroad crossing stop signal ends, and the user terminal 20 displays and reproduces distribution information. Like to stop. Thereby, compared with 2nd Embodiment, the effect that the display and reproduction | regeneration of delivery information can be limited at the time of a stop signal, such as a traffic signal, is further acquired.

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the second or third embodiment described above, the trigger devices 10A and 10B are included in a traffic signal device (a traffic signal on a road, a crossing alarm device, etc.). In the present embodiment, a traffic signal is used. The difference is that it was separated from the device and made a separate device.

  Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the configuration of the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 9, this embodiment is different from the second or third embodiment in that the trigger devices 10A and 10B are divided into a traffic signal device 40 and a trigger device 10C. And trigger device 10C is installed beside each traffic signal device 40, and both are connected by a cable or near field radio. Since the configurations of the user terminal 20 and the information distribution server 30 are the same as those in the first to third embodiments, detailed description thereof is omitted.

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

  Referring to FIG. 10, the traffic signal device 40 monitors whether the signal has been switched to a stop signal (for example, a red signal for a traffic signal) (step D1), and transmits the stop signal information to the trigger device 10C when the signal is switched to the stop signal. . This stop signal information is information for the trigger device 10C to identify that it has become a stop signal, and is, for example, a specific keyword or signal (step D2). The trigger device 10C that has received the stop signal information transmits the trigger device ID and the trigger identification information by short-range radio. As will be described later in Step D6, this transmission is continued until the stop signal (for example, a red signal for a traffic signal) ends and switches to another signal (for example, a green signal for a traffic signal) (Step D3).

  Next, when the traffic signal device 40 detects that the stop signal has ended and switched to another signal (step D4), the traffic signal device 40 transmits stop signal end information to the trigger device 10C (step D5). Receiving the stop signal end information, the trigger device 10C stops transmitting the trigger identification information and the trigger device ID, and instead transmits the stop signal end information to the periphery by the short-range wireless for a predetermined time (step D6).

  The operations of the user terminal 20 and the information distribution server 30 following step D3 described above are the same as steps B3 to B10 in FIG. 6 and steps C3 to C9 and C12 in FIG. Similarly, the operation of the user terminal 20 following step D6 described above is the same as step C12 in FIG. Further, in step D6, the trigger device 10C that has received the stop signal end information does not transmit the stop signal end information to the surroundings by short-range radio, but simply stops transmission of the trigger identification information and the trigger device ID. Good. In this case, there is no operation of the user terminal 20 following step D6.

  In the fourth embodiment described above, since the traffic signal device 40 and the trigger device 10C are separated, the traffic signal device is less modified and the configuration is simplified as compared to the second or third embodiment. The effect of being further obtained.

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

  -In 1st-4th embodiment mentioned above, the movement / stop state detection part 23 of the user terminal 20 is provided separately from the user terminal 20, and it connects with the user terminal 20 by a cable or near field communication etc. You may make it do.

  In the above-described first to fourth embodiments (see step A9 in FIG. 4, step B10 in FIG. 6, and step C12 in FIG. 8), the display and playback are ended or not ended forcibly. May be selected by the user on the display screen. If the user selects the one that does not end, the display and reproduction are continued. If the user selects the one that ends, the display and reproduction are ended. As a result, it is possible to prevent the interested information from being forcibly terminated.

  In the first to fourth embodiments described above, when the user terminal 20 is an in-vehicle navigation device, the information distribution server 30 is incorporated in the in-vehicle navigation device, and the user terminal 20 and the information distribution server 30 are configured as one device.
