  However, in the future, it is expected that the communication traffic of the access network connecting the mobile phone and the wide area network will increase. Therefore, in order to avoid the congestion of the access network, the communication traffic is applied to the application running on the mobile phone. Ingenuity to suppress is necessary.

  Conventionally, in the real world, when a physical event that is geographically dispersed is detected by a sensor, there is no system for grasping the ranking of data.

When received, received from any other mobile terminal device registered in the group for the mobile terminal device Is characterized in that output transmits a ranking result information and in the group.

  Thus, when detection result information is received from any one portable terminal device registered in the group, it is received from any other portable terminal device registered in the group with respect to the portable terminal device. Because the detection result information and the ranking within the group are transmitted, even if the users are not gathered in the same geographical location and are geographically dispersed, planning and holding competitions that compete for ranking be able to. In addition, large-scale competitions can be easily planned and held. For example, it is possible to easily hold a marathon event similar to the Tokyo marathon event held by the planning and operation of Tokyo by the planning and operation of one user.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a ranking notification system according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, this ranking notification system is configured such that the mobile phone 10 and the server device 20 can communicate via a network. The mobile phone base station 30 relays wireless communication between the mobile phone 10 and the server device 20. Hereinafter, a mobile phone 10 will be described as an example of the mobile terminal device.

  Next, a service provided by the ranking notification system configured as described above will be described. This service is provided by the following procedure.

(Procedure 1) Participation in a group to which terminals simultaneously competing for ranking belong The mobile phone 10 notifies the server device 20 that it starts to acquire data. Here, consider a case where the user performs a marathon by holding the mobile phone 10 in his hand or wearing it on the body. The server device 20 notifies the mobile phone 10 of the identifier of the group to which the mobile phone 10 belongs. For example, when the event is a marathon event, the identifier of the group is an identifier of “10 Km marathon event starting from 10:00 on 2009/2/6”. The mobile phone 10 participates in the marathon competition and competes with other mobile phones 10 for ranking.

(Procedure 2) Observation of time-series behavior of data and sharing of data The mobile phone 10 observes the time-series behavior of its own data and changes thereof. The condition for recognizing the change of the time-series behavior of the data can be given to the mobile phone 10 in advance or can be given from the server device 20 in the procedure 1. When there is a change in the time-series behavior of data, the mobile phone 10 notifies the server device 20 (or another mobile phone) of its own data. As a response, the cellular phone 10 acquires data of the other cellular phone 10 from the server device 20 (or another cellular phone).

  For example, when the event is a marathon event, the behavior of the distance traveled per unit time (average distance traveled: 3 m / sec) is observed, and when the distance traveled changes to 5 m / sec, the mobile phone A The server device 20 is notified of data on the distance traveled from the starting point (mobile phone A: 100 m). As a response to this, the mobile phone B is notified of the data (mobile phone B: 80m) of the other mobile phone B that the server device 20 knows at that time.

(Procedure 3) Calculation of Ranking The mobile phone compares the data of the other mobile phone obtained in Procedure 2 with its own data, and calculates the ranking. For example, the mobile phone A compares its own data (mobile phone A: 100 m) with data of another mobile phone B (mobile phone B: 80 m),
The ranking first place ... cell-phone A,
The ranking second place ... cell-phone B
Ask for. The server device 20 calculates the ranking in the same manner.

  (Procedure 4) Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until it is time to compete for ranking (or a data threshold value, etc.). Then, when it is time to compete for ranking (or data threshold, etc.), the final ranking is determined and notified (notified) to the user.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the mobile phone 10. The mobile phone 10 includes a sensor 11a. The sensor 11a detects specific physical quantities such as a pedometer, a GPS (Global Positioning System) module, and an acceleration sensor. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the mobile phone 10 includes at least a sensor capable of detecting the current position and time. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The sensor data acquisition unit 11b acquires the detection result information detected by the sensor 11a, and outputs the acquired detection result information to the recording unit 12. Specifically, the detection result information is information on the current position and information on the current time.

  The recording unit 12 records the detection result information every time detection result information including detection time information is input from the sensor data acquisition unit 11b. Using the past detection result information recorded in the recording unit 12, the transmission timing determination unit 13 calculates a regression line that approximates the relationship between the elapsed time and the detection result information with a linear expression. Moreover, the change prediction range of the detection result information based on the regression line is calculated. These are set as a reference for determining the transmission timing. The transmission timing determination unit 13 determines the time when the latest detection result information deviates from the change prediction range as the transmission timing to the server device 20.

  The transmission / reception unit 14 transmits its own detection result information to the server device 20 at the timing determined by the transmission timing determination unit 13. Further, the transmission / reception unit 14 receives detection result information including detection time information of at least one other mobile phone provided with the same sensor as the sensor 11a from the server device 20. The ranking determination unit 15 determines the ranking of the detection result information of the own device with respect to the detection result information of other mobile phones having the same detection time. The display unit 16 displays the ranking determined by the ranking determination unit 15 on the screen. The group management unit 17 outputs information indicating registration in the group associated with the event, and manages the group identification information transmitted from the server device 20. The above components are connected to each other via a control bus 18 and can transmit and receive data.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the server device 20. Server device 20 performs wireless communication with a plurality of mobile phones. The storage unit 21 stores detection result information including detection time information received from each mobile phone. The server-side ranking determination unit 22 determines the ranking of detection result information at the same time for each mobile phone. When receiving the detection result information from any one mobile phone, the server-side transmitting / receiving unit 23 transmits the detection result information and ranking received from any other mobile phone to the mobile phone. The server-side group management unit 24 manages registration in a group associated with the event and identification information of the group. The above components are connected to each other via a control bus 25, and data can be transmitted and received.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an operation concept of the transmission timing determination unit 13 in the mobile phone 10. Here, a method of determining the transmission timing to the server device 20 based on the sensor information acquired by the own device will be described as “self determination”. The mobile phone 10 according to the present embodiment determines the timing for transmitting data to the server device 20 instead of always transmitting data to the server device 20 in order to avoid access network congestion, and at the determined timing. Data is transmitted to the server device 20. In FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents time (X) and the vertical axis represents travel distance (Y). In FIG. 4, points A, B, and C indicated by black circles indicate the timing for transmitting data to the server device.

First, starting from the origin, the sensor 11a detects time and travel distance. Then, at point A, data is transmitted to the server device 20. Next, the transmission timing determination unit 13 samples the number of data N in the period L1 and calculates a regression line. The regression line Y is determined at point B, where As is sloped and Bs is intercepted,
Y = As * X + Bs
It can be expressed as.

Further, in FIG. 4, the thickness of the determination as the change prediction range is Rs as the deviation of the regression line.
(Thickness of judgment) = Rs * Ua + Ub
It can be expressed as.

  In FIG. 4, it is assumed that the actual measurement value is acquired again from the point B and the point C is reached. Point C represents the travel distance at the current time Xc.

Point D is a point on the regression line at the current time Xc, and indicates the estimated position at the current time. Therefore, the position of point D is
Y = As * Xc + Bs
It can be expressed as.

Further, in FIG. 4, a point E indicates the upper limit value of the self-determination range. The upper limit of this self-determination range is
(Upper limit value) = (estimated position of current time: As * Xc + Bs) + (thickness of determination range)
Can be obtained as

Moreover, in FIG. 4, the point F shows the lower limit of the range of self-determination. The lower limit of this self-judgment range is
(Lower limit value) = (estimated position of current time: As * Xc + Bs) − (thickness of determination range)
Can be obtained as

In this way, the regression line and the change prediction range are set and the determination is performed. Specifically, when the point C, which is an actual measurement value at the current time Xc, deviates from the change prediction range, data is transmitted to the server device 20 (upload). Specifically, the next upload time to the server device in the self-determination is
(Upload time) = Current time (Time when the actual measurement value deviated from the change prediction range)
= Infinite (when the measured value is within the predicted change range)
As described above, since it may be determined as infinite, an upload cycle may be determined in advance, and data may be uploaded at each cycle.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an operation concept of the transmission timing determination unit 13 in the mobile phone 10. Here, a technique for determining the transmission timing to the server device 20 from the behavior of another mobile phone will be described as “other person determination”. In FIG. 5, the horizontal axis represents time (X), and the vertical axis represents travel distance (Y). In FIG. 5, points G, H, and M indicated by black circles indicate the timing for transmitting data to the server device.

First, the point G indicates the time and travel distance (Xt, Yt) when another mobile phone communicates with the server device 20. And the transmission timing determination part 13 samples the number of data N in the period L2, and calculates a regression line. A regression line Y is determined at point G, where Ao is inclined and Bo is an intercept.
Y = Ao * X + Bo
It can be expressed as.

Point H is a point on the regression line at the current time Xc, and indicates the estimated position at the current time. Therefore, the position of the point H is
Y = Ao * Xc + Bo
It can be expressed as.

Further, in FIG. 5, the point I indicates the upper limit value of the other person determination range. The upper limit value of the other person determination range is set as Y = f (x) as a function of time. Y = f (x) is assumed to be the speed of a global marathon player.
It can be expressed as f (x) = a * u ² + b * u + c.
here,
u = x−Xt
a = 0.5 * (correction deviation) * Da
b = Ao
c = (correction deviation) * Db + Dc + Yt
The correction deviation is MAX (deviation of regression line, Ds).
If the speed is the speed of a global marathon player is Xpro, then the speed is constant,
It can be expressed as f (x) = f (Xpro) + Ao * (x−Xpro).

If the speed is set to vf (x), until the speed of a global marathon player,
From vf (x) = (d / dx) f (x) = (correction deviation) * Da * (x−Xt) + Ao,
Xpro = ((speed of global marathon player) −Ao) / (correction deviation) / Da + Xt.
From the above, the upper limit value of the change prediction range at the current time Xc is
[When the speed is less than the speed of a global marathon player, that is, when Xc ≦ Xpro]
0.5 * (correction deviation) * Da * (Xc−Xt) ² + Ao * (Xc−Xt) + (correction deviation) * Db + Dc + Yt,
[When the speed is the speed of a global marathon player, that is, when Xc> Xpro]
0.5 * (correction deviation) * Da * (Xpro−Xt) ² + Ao * (Xpro−Xt) + (correction deviation) * Db + Dc + Yt + Ao * (Xc−Xpro).

Next, in FIG. 5, a point K indicates the lower limit value of the other person determination range. If the lower limit of this other person's determination range is set as Y = g (x) as a function of time,
It can be expressed as g (x) = a * u ² + b * u + c.
here,
u = x−Xt
a = 0.5 * (correction deviation) * Da
b = Ao
c = (correction deviation) * Db + Dc + Yt
The correction deviation is MAX (deviation of regression line, Ds).
If the time when the speed is 0 is Xzero, the speed is constant thereafter.
It can be expressed as g (x) = g (Xzero).

If the speed is vg (x), until the speed becomes zero,
vg (x) = (d / dx) g (x) = − (correction deviation) * Da * (x−Xt) + Ao
Xzero = Ao / (correction deviation) / Da + Xt.
From the above, the lower limit value of the change prediction range at the current time Xc is
[When the speed is 0 or more, that is, when Xc ≦ Xzero]
−0.5 * (correction deviation) * Da * (Xc−Xt) ² + Ao * (Xc−Xt) − (correction deviation) * Db−Dc + Yt,
[When the speed reaches 0, that is, when Xc> Xzero]
−0.5 * (correction deviation) * Da * (Xzero−Xt) ² + Ao * (Xzero−Xt) − (correction deviation) * Db−Dc + Yt.

Thus, a regression line and a change prediction range are set, and determination based on the behavior of another mobile phone (other party determination) is performed. Specifically, when the point K, which is the actual measurement value at the current time Xc, deviates from the change prediction range, data is transmitted to the server device 20 (upload). Specifically, the next upload time to the server device in the other person determination is
(Upload time) = Current time (Time when the actual measurement value deviated from the change prediction range)
= Infinite (when the measured value is within the change prediction range).

  Next, a specific operation of the ranking notification system according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a sequence chart showing the exchange of data between the mobile phone and the server device constituting the ranking notification system according to this embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the marathon event as an event and the ranking of participants. is there. 8A to 8C are diagrams showing screen display examples in the mobile phone.

Conduct competitions to compete. It should be noted that the present invention can be applied not only to a marathon event but also to anything that competes for ranking. For example, it can be applied to a swimming competition.

  In FIG. 6, the mobile phone first logs in (1). Next, the server device returns the marathon event as the event and its identification information (data) to the mobile phone (2). At this time, a screen as shown in FIG. 8B is displayed on the mobile phone. As shown in FIG. 8B, multiple types of “Today's Marathon Tournament” are displayed as events that can be participated, and the user can select one of them. When the user selects any marathon event, the participation marathon is selected in FIG. 6 and a participation request is made (3). Next, the server device responds to the participation request (4).

  At the start of the tournament, the marathon tournament will begin. Each user travels in a geographically distant place while carrying a mobile phone. Each mobile phone acquires the travel distance and elapsed time with a sensor. And if the transmission timing determination part 13 determines the timing which transmits the data acquired from the sensor to a server apparatus, upload of the acquired data will be performed (5-1). The server device transmits ranking data as shown in FIG. 7 to the mobile phone (5-2). When the ranking data is acquired, the mobile phone displays a screen as shown in FIG. 8A. As shown in FIG. 8A, for example, it is displayed that “currently 32nd place”, the 31st place user is located 500 m ahead, and the 33rd place user is located in the publication 300 m.

  In the mobile phone, the optimum update interval, that is, the timing of uploading to the server device is calculated, and when the optimum upload timing is determined, the data is transmitted to the server device (5-3). Then, the server device transmits ranking data as shown in FIG. 7 to the mobile phone (5-4). Finally, when the user travels a distance corresponding to a preset goal, the user becomes a goal and the final ranking is displayed (6). At this time, a screen as shown in FIG. 8C is displayed on the mobile phone. As shown in FIG. 8C, for example, “GOAL !!” and “You were in 20th place” are displayed.

  As described above, according to the ranking notification system according to the present embodiment, even if the users are not gathered in the same geographical location and are geographically dispersed, a competition that competes for ranking is planned.・ Can be held. In addition, large-scale competitions can be easily planned and held. For example, it is possible to easily hold a marathon event similar to the Tokyo marathon event held by the planning and operation of Tokyo by the planning and operation of one user. In addition, it is possible to grasp the ranking of physical events (for example, maximum temperature and traffic congestion) in various places in real time and provide information on the Web or the like. Furthermore, when calculating the line marking of event values measured at geographically dispersed locations, the amount of communication traffic and the load on the ranking calculation server can be reduced.
