Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to infrared communication and short-range wireless communication (Bluetooth, PAN, etc.) between a street monitor terminal device installed in a shopping street, an entertainment venue, an amusement park, or a park facility and a portable wireless terminal device owned by a user. The present invention relates to a guidance information providing system configured to exchange information by local wireless communication such as to display guidance information such as destinations and routes.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, there are many places where information boards showing respective facilities and surrounding areas are installed at main stations, museums, exhibition halls, exhibition halls, amusement parks, or park facilities. Some users select a destination or a target facility and display it with a lamp or the like. In recent years, kiosk terminal devices installed in department stores, shopping malls, underground malls, and the like, which can be operated by selecting a menu from a monitor terminal device using a touch panel or the like, can be seen.
[0003]
Furthermore, among ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) promoted mainly by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, it is called pedestrian ITS that can provide safe, comfortable and convenient pedestrians, wheelchair users, bicycles, etc. Pedestrian support systems have been studied. In this way, various systems are being studied for practical use in anticipation of an aging society, welfare society, and information society.
[0004]
As an example of pedestrian ITS, radio tags that transmit location information called GI stone (Geographical Information Stone) are installed at the main points, and the location of the radio terminal device carried by the user is set. At the same time, a method of performing route guidance using voice etc. at the same time is being used in various experiments.
