(First embodiment)
An information processing system 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment is a system that provides a route to a user (hereinafter also simply referred to as “user”) of an electronic device such as a mobile terminal (smart phone, mobile phone, tablet terminal, etc.) or a personal computer. It is.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 2 and a server 3. The terminal device 2 and the server 3 are connected to be communicable with each other via a network such as the Internet. The network may be either a wired line or a wireless line, and the type and form of the line are not limited. At least a part of the terminal device 2 and the server 3 is realized by a computer.

  The terminal device 2 is used by a user to search for a route, and is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The terminal device 2 may be a desktop personal computer.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device 2 includes a communication unit 21, a control unit 22, an input unit 23, and an output unit 24. First, among the components of the terminal device 2, components other than the control unit 22, that is, the communication unit 21, the input unit 23, and the output unit 24 will be described.

  The communication unit 21 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information between the control unit 22 and the server 3 via a network.

  The input unit 23 is an interface for the user to input information to the terminal device 2, and may be, for example, a touch panel or a microphone in a mobile terminal, a keyboard in a desktop personal computer, a touch pad, or a dial button.

  The output unit 24 is an interface for outputting various information from the terminal device 2 to the user, and is a video display unit such as a liquid crystal display. Specifically, the output unit 24 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for accepting an operation from the user, movement route information described later, and the like. Alternatively, the output unit 24 may be a speaker that outputs movement route information and the like by voice.

  Note that the output unit 24 may not directly present information to the user. For example, the output unit 24 may output a video signal or an audio signal to a video display unit or an audio output unit connected to the outside of the terminal device 2, or data may be output to a printing device connected to the outside. May be output, or data may be output and stored in the terminal device 2 or in an external storage device.

  Next, the control unit 22 of the terminal device 2 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the control unit 22 includes a search condition acquisition unit 221 and an information presentation unit 222. These units may be realized by a processor in the terminal device 2 executing a predetermined program.

  The search condition acquisition unit 221 acquires a search condition for route search. The search condition includes at least one of a departure place and a destination. The starting point and destination are not limited to the railway station, but are, for example, current stops detected by bus stops, water bus landings, airports, harbors, homes, companies, or positioning means such as GPS or WiFi positioning, etc. It may be.

  The search conditions may include, in addition to the departure point and destination, a transit point (such as a transfer station or passing station in the case of a railway), a route used, a departure time, an arrival time, and the like.

  The search condition acquisition unit 221 may acquire at least a part of the search condition without using the input unit 23 in addition to acquiring the search condition through the input unit 23. For example, the current position may be acquired from the positioning means (not shown) of the terminal device 2 as the departure place, or from the time measuring means (not shown) of the terminal device 2 or an external server as the departure time. The current time may be acquired, and information such as the destination and arrival time may be acquired from the scheduler application.

  The information presenting unit 222 presents various types of information regarding the moving route and the like to the user via the output unit 24.

  When the output unit 24 is a video display unit, the information presentation unit 222 converts information to be presented into a video signal and outputs it to the output unit 24. When the output unit 24 is an audio output unit, The information presenting unit 222 converts information to be presented into an audio signal and outputs it to the output unit 24.

  Next, the server 3 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the server 3 includes a communication unit 31, a control unit 32, and a storage unit 33. Before describing the control unit 32, the communication unit 31 and the storage unit 33 will be described.

  The communication unit 31 is an interface that transmits and receives information between the terminal device 2 and the control unit 32 of the server 3 via a network.

  The storage unit 33 is a fixed data storage such as a hard disk, and stores various databases described later. Note that the storage unit 33 is not necessarily provided in the server 3 and may be provided in another apparatus that is communicably connected to the server 3 via a network.

  The storage unit 33 includes a route network database 331 and a congestion information database 332.

  The route network database 331 is a route search database, and includes, for example, map information and traffic network information as route network information. The map information includes map data such as road maps of the whole country or each region, and may include map object information (facility information, note information, symbol information, etc.) associated with the map data. The traffic network information is information that defines a traffic network and a road network such as a railway, a bus, and a ship (for example, a water bus or a ferry). The type of transportation network includes transportation route information, timetable information, fee information, and the like. The road network information is expressed by a combination of data of nodes (nodes) on the road network expression such as intersections and data of links that are road sections between the nodes.

  The congestion information database 332 is a congestion information database indicating the congestion status of the station. Here, the station means a place where the transportation means (transportation) stops to get on and off passengers, for example, a railway station when the transportation means is a railway, a stop when the transportation means is a bus, When the moving means is a ship, it is a port (boarding / departing place), when the moving means is an airplane, it is an airport, and when the moving means is a taxi, it is a taxi stand.

  The congestion information indicates the congestion status of the station, and the specific mode is not particularly limited as long as the congestion information acquisition unit 322 described later can selectively acquire the congestion information. For example, the congestion information may be at least one of real-time information indicating the current congestion status of the station and prediction information indicating the future congestion status of the station. For example, by using both real-time information and prediction information, it is possible to more accurately determine the congestion situation at the time when the user arrives at the station.

  Specifically, the real-time information may be train congestion report information indicating, for example, the level of congestion of stations and trains at a railway station based on a post from the user. Further, it may be the number of terminal probe information indicating the position of the terminal device 2 acquired from the terminal device 2 in use in or around the station, official announcement data of the station, and the like. The prediction information is information on the congestion status of the station at an arbitrary point of time estimated from each of the above real-time information, event information around the station, a point search log searched for the station, a route search log starting from the station, etc. There may be.

  The event information includes the event holding location (coordinates on the map), the holding time (for example, start time and end time), the scale (for example, the number of participants and the venue area), a flag indicating whether the event is crowded, etc. May be included.

  The congestion information may include not only the congestion status of the station but also information indicating the congestion status of the area around the station.

  At least a part of the congestion information (for example, official announcement data of the station) may be managed not by the congestion information database 332 but by an external server database.

  Next, the control unit 32 of the server 3 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the control unit 32 includes a use station candidate extraction unit 321, a congestion information acquisition unit 322, and an alternative route acquisition unit 323. These units may be realized by a processor in the server 3 executing a predetermined program.

  The use station candidate extraction unit 321 extracts stations (hereinafter also simply referred to as “use station candidates”) that the user may use based on search conditions, the current position, and the like.

  Use station candidates are, for example, the nearest station of the current position, a station existing in a circular area with a radius of a predetermined distance centered on the current position or the nearest station, a station designated by the user using the terminal device 2, etc. It may be. The use station candidate may be a departure point or a transit point included in the search condition. When the use station candidate is included in the search condition, the use station candidate extraction unit 321 may extract the use station candidate based on the search condition.

  The number of use station candidates is not limited, and may be either singular or plural. For example, the use station candidates may include both departure stations and transfer stations, and the number of transfer stations may be either singular or plural.

  The congestion information acquisition unit 322 acquires the congestion information of the use station candidates extracted by the use station candidate extraction unit 321.

  The congestion information acquisition unit 322 includes, for example, congestion information associated with the same coordinates as the use station candidate, the same identification information and route network information as the use station candidate, among the congestion information of each station in the congestion information database 332. You may acquire the congestion information of the station matched as congestion information of a utilization station candidate. The congestion information of the use station candidates may be either real-time information or prediction information. Further, the congestion information acquisition unit 322 may acquire the congestion information corresponding to the time suitable for the use time from the congestion information database 332 in consideration of the use time of the use station candidate based on the search condition or the like.

  Further, the congestion information acquisition unit 322 may acquire congestion information from the current position (departure point) to the use station candidate.

  The alternative route acquisition unit 323 acquires an alternative route when the use station candidates are congested. On the other hand, the alternative route acquisition unit 323 may not acquire the alternative route when the use station candidates are not congested.

  Here, the alternative route is travel route information indicating a route using the alternative use station. An alternative use station is a station that can be substituted for a crowded use station candidate (hereinafter also referred to as a “congested station”).

  For example, in the present embodiment, the alternative use station is a station of the second moving means different from the first moving means that is a station around the current position and is a moving means of the congested station, and the alternative route is the first route This is a route that uses a station of 2 transportation means. The periphery of the current position is not particularly limited as long as it is a position within a predetermined area around the current position. For example, within the circular area having a radius of a predetermined distance centered on the current position (for example, a radius of 500 m). Or a position within an area that can be reached within a predetermined time on foot from the current position.

  The alternative use station may be a station of the second moving means around the departure place. A specific aspect of the departure place is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a departure station. The vicinity of the departure place may be a position in a predetermined area around the departure place, similarly to the vicinity of the current position.

  Further, the alternative use station may be a station of the second moving means around the congested station. The vicinity of the crowded station may be a position in a predetermined area around the crowded station, similarly to the vicinity of the current position.

  In some cases, the congestion information itself is information indicating the occurrence of congestion (that is, information that cannot be acquired unless congestion occurs). In this case, the alternative route acquisition unit 323 may acquire the alternative route immediately without determining the presence or absence of congestion, triggered by the acquisition of the congestion information by the congestion information acquisition unit 322. On the other hand, the congestion information may be information that indicates the presence or absence of congestion or information that can be used to determine the presence or absence of congestion. In this case, the alternative route acquisition unit 323 may acquire an alternative route when it is determined that congestion has occurred after determining whether the use station candidate is congested based on the congestion information.

  The alternative route acquisition unit 323 may acquire not only the alternative route but also a movement route using the use station candidate (movement route based on normal cost calculation). The travel route using the use station candidate may or may not be crowded.

  The communication unit 31 of the server 3 transmits the alternative route acquired by the alternative route acquisition unit 323 to the terminal device 2. Thereby, the information presentation part 222 of the terminal device 2 can output an alternative path | route.

  Here, if the route search is performed by reflecting the congestion status of the station in the cost of the required time at the station, the possibility of searching for a route using another station is increased because the cost of the crowded station has increased. is there. However, in route search based on such cost calculation, a route that avoids use of a congested station cannot always be acquired with high accuracy. This is because in the cost calculation, various factors such as the fare and the number of transfers can be considered in addition to the required time.

  On the other hand, according to the alternative route acquisition unit 323, when there is an alternative use station, the alternative route using the alternative use station can be surely acquired and provided to the user. Specifically, it is possible to provide an alternative route for the second moving means that avoids using a congested station of the first moving means. More specifically, when the congestion information is real-time information, it is possible to provide an alternative route effective for avoiding use of a crowded station near the current position of the user. When the congestion information is prediction information, it is possible to provide an alternative route that is effective for avoiding use of a crowded station at a long distance from the current position of the user or a crowded station in the future. It should be noted that the use station candidate that was determined not to be a congested station at the time of the initial route search based on the prediction information as the congestion information at the timing when the user actually visited the use station candidate due to a delay in the transportation system that occurred unexpectedly. There may be a crowded station. However, in this case, it is possible to quickly cope with the unexpectedly generated congestion by searching for an alternative route with the station of the second moving means around the crowded station as an alternative use station by re-searching.

  Further, the communication unit 31 of the server 3 can identify and / or compare information on a travel route using a congested station (hereinafter also referred to as “congested route”) and an alternative route in the information presentation unit 222 of the terminal device 2. The congested route may be transmitted together with the alternative route so that it can be output. Thereby, the information presentation unit 222 can output the congested route and the alternative route so that they can be identified and / or compared. According to the congestion route and the alternative route output in this way, the user can easily determine whether or not to use the alternative route.

  Note that the alternative route acquisition unit 323 uses, for example, a route search result or a pre-searched route (for example, history or pre- It may be acquired based on a registered route such as My route. When acquiring an alternative route and a travel route using a use station candidate from the result of the route search, the route search may be performed by either the alternative route acquisition unit 323 or other route search means (for example, an external server). Good. When searching for an alternative route, an alternative use station is extracted in the process, and the extraction of the alternative use station may be performed by the same logic as that of the nearest use station candidate of the current location. On the other hand, when the alternative route and the travel route using the use station candidate are acquired based on the route searched in advance, the route searched in advance is stored in the storage unit 33 of the server 3 and other storage means (for example, an external server). It may be stored in any of the storage unit and the like.

  In addition, when a travel route that uses a use station candidate is acquired based on a route that has been searched in advance, the use station candidate extraction unit 321 extracts a departure station in the travel route, and the congestion information acquisition unit 322 You may acquire the congestion information of this departure station. Then, the alternative route acquisition unit 323 determines whether or not the congestion information indicates congestion, and when it is determined that the congestion information indicates congestion, the alternative route acquisition unit 323 may search for an alternative route.

  Next, an example of the processing operation of the information processing system 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, the search condition acquisition unit 221 of the terminal device 2 acquires a search condition for route search (step S21). And the communication part 21 of the terminal device 2 transmits the said search conditions to the server 3 (step S22), and the communication part 31 of the server 3 receives the said search conditions (step S31).

  Next, the utilization station candidate extraction part 321 of the server 3 extracts a utilization station candidate based on the search conditions received in step S31 (step S32). Then, the alternative route acquisition unit 323 of the server 3 searches for a route using the use station candidate (first moving means) extracted in step S32 (step S33). The route using the use station candidate is a congestion route when the use station candidate is a congested station. Next, the congestion information acquisition unit 322 of the server 3 acquires the congestion information of the use station candidates (step S34).

  Next, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the alternative route acquisition unit 323 of the server 3 determines whether the use station candidate is congested based on the congestion information acquired in step S34 (step S35).

  For example, when the congestion information is train congestion report information, if the level at the use station candidate indicated by the train congestion report information is a level corresponding to “cannot get on”, it is determined that there is congestion and is lower than the level. If it is level, it may be determined that there is no congestion. Further, when the congestion information is the number of terminal probe information in the station or the vicinity thereof, it may be determined that there is congestion if the number exceeds the threshold value, and it may be determined that there is no congestion if the number is less than the threshold value. Also, if the congestion information is event information, it may be determined that there is congestion if a large event is held around the use station candidate, and if it is not held, it may be determined that there is no congestion. . Further, when the congestion information is a point / route search log, it may be determined that there is congestion if the number of searches exceeds a threshold, and it may be determined that there is no congestion if the number is less than the threshold.

  When the use station candidates are congested (step S35: Yes), the alternative route acquisition unit 323 searches for and acquires an alternative route that uses the station of the second moving means (step S361). On the other hand, when the use station candidates are not congested (step S35: No), the alternative route acquisition unit 323 does not search for an alternative route.

  The determination in step S35 may be performed between step S32 and step S33, that is, before the route search.

  Here, FIG. 4 is a route diagram schematically showing an example of the route acquired by executing step S361. As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, when the nearest station of the current position as a use station candidate is a congested station of the first moving means, the alternative is to use the congested route R1 and the second moving means. The route R2 can be acquired.

  Specifically, the congestion route R1 in FIG. 4 is a route that moves from the current position to the arrival station G of the first moving means that is the destination. More specifically, the congestion route R1 is composed of a walking route R11 from the current position to the congestion station S of the first moving means and a route R12 using the first movement means from the congestion station S to the destination G. ing.

  The alternative route R2 in FIG. 4 is a route using the second moving means from the current position to the destination G. More specifically, the alternative route R2 includes the walking route R21 to the alternative use station S 'around the current position, and the alternative use station S' to the arrival station G 'of the second moving means nearest to the destination G. The route is composed of a route R22 using two moving means and a walking route R23 from the arrival station G ′ to the destination G.

  Next, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the communication unit 31 of the server 3 transmits the route search result of the alternative route acquisition unit 323 to the terminal device 2 (step S37). At this time, if an alternative route has been acquired (after step S361), the communication unit 31 transmits the alternative route and the congestion route to the terminal device 2. On the other hand, when the alternative route is not acquired (when not passing through step S361), the communication unit 31 provides only the route using the nearest station (not the congested station) of the first moving means to the terminal device 2. Send.

  Next, the communication unit 21 of the terminal device 2 receives the route search result transmitted in step S37 (step S23). Then, the information presentation unit 222 of the terminal device 2 presents the route search result to the user via the output unit 24.

  Here, FIG. 5 is a second example of the display screen (route search result display screen) of the terminal device 2 presented in step S24. In the display screen of FIG. 5, a simple list display of a congestion route R1 using a train as a first moving means and walking, a water bus as a second moving means, and an alternative route R2 using walking. Are displayed so that they can be identified and compared.

  Specifically, the congestion route R1 in FIG. 5 is displayed with a delay time corresponding to the congestion state such as “30 minutes from the station”, so the user can identify the congestion route R1 at a glance. In addition, since the illustration of walking and a train is displayed on the congestion route R1 of FIG. 5, the user can grasp at a glance that the congestion route R1 is a route using a train.

  On the other hand, since the alternative route R2 of FIG. 5 is displayed as “congestion avoidance”, the user can identify the alternative route R2 at a glance. In addition, since the alternative route R2 of FIG. 5 displays the illustration of a walk and a ship, the user can grasp at a glance that the alternative route R2 is a route using a water bus.

  Further, in the congestion route R1 and the alternative route R2 in FIG. 5, the required time from the departure place to the destination and the delay time corresponding to the congestion situation are displayed, so that the user can make a substantial requirement for both routes. Times can be easily compared. In addition, the user can compare the fare, the presence / absence of transfer, and the like.

  FIG. 6 is a first example of the display screen (route map display screen) of the terminal device 2 presented in step S24. In the display screen of FIG. 6, the congestion route R1 using the train as the first moving means and the alternative route R2 using the water bus as the second moving means are identified on the map from the departure point S to the destination G. It is displayed as superimposed. According to such a display screen, the user can grasp at a glance the difference in moving means between the congestion route R1 and the alternative route R2.

  As described above, in the information processing system 1, when the use station candidate is a congested station using the first moving means, an alternative route using the alternative use station of the second moving means around the congested station is acquired. . Thereby, according to the information processing system which concerns on 1st Embodiment, the path | route which avoids the utilization of a crowded station can be provided to a user with a higher precision than before.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, an information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the alternative use station is an upstream station. Here, the upstream station is a station having the same transportation means as the crowded station located upstream from the crowded station with respect to the destination.

  The upstream station is, for example, a station around the current position, like the station of the second moving means described in the first embodiment. 2 It may be different from the standard considered as the vicinity of the current position for the station of the moving means. For example, even a use station candidate that exists farther from the current position than the station of the second moving means may be determined as an upstream station. The upstream station may be a station around the departure point. Further, the upstream station may be a station around a congested station.

  Due to the differences in the alternative use stations as described above, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, instead of searching for an alternative route using the station of the second moving means as shown in step S361 of FIG. Then, an alternative route using the upstream station is searched (step S362).

  Here, FIG. 8 is a route diagram schematically showing an example of the route acquired in step S362. The alternative route R2 in FIG. 8 is a route using the first moving means from the current position to the destination G. Specifically, the alternative route R2 includes a walking route R21 from the current position to the upstream station S 'and a route R22 using the first moving means from the upstream station S' to the destination.

  If the alternative use station is a station with the same means of transportation as the congested station S located downstream of the congested station S (hereinafter also referred to as “downstream station”), even if it can enter the downstream station, it arrives at the downstream station There is a possibility that the moving means cannot be boarded by being occupied by passengers at the crowded station S.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the possibility that the moving means can be used can be increased by setting the alternative use station as the upstream station. Other operations and effects are basically the same as those of the first embodiment.

  The second embodiment may be combined with the first embodiment. For example, the alternative route acquisition unit 323 may search for an alternative route that uses the upstream station when an alternative route that uses the second moving means is not searched. Alternatively, the alternative route acquisition unit 323 may search for an alternative route that uses the second moving unit when an alternative route that uses the upstream station is not searched. Alternatively, both the alternative route using the second moving means and the alternative route using the upstream station may be searched and presented. In this way, a route that avoids using a crowded station can be provided to the user with higher accuracy.

  At least a part of the information processing system described in the above-described embodiment may be configured by hardware or software. When configured by software, a program for realizing at least a part of the functions of the information processing system may be stored in a recording medium such as a flexible disk or a CD-ROM, and read and executed by a computer. The recording medium is not limited to a removable medium such as a magnetic disk or an optical disk, but may be a fixed recording medium such as a hard disk device or a memory.

  Further, a program that realizes at least a part of the functions of the information processing system may be distributed via a communication line (including wireless communication) such as the Internet. Further, the program may be distributed in a state where the program is encrypted, modulated or compressed, and stored in a recording medium via a wired line such as the Internet or a wireless line.

  Furthermore, the information processing system may be caused to function by one or a plurality of information processing apparatuses. When a plurality of information processing apparatuses are used, one of the information processing apparatuses may be a computer, and the function may be realized as at least one means of the information processing system by the computer executing a predetermined program.

  Based on the above description, those skilled in the art may be able to conceive additional effects and various modifications of the present invention, but the aspects of the present invention are not limited to the individual embodiments described above. . Various additions, modifications, and partial deletions can be made without departing from the concept and spirit of the present invention derived from the contents defined in the claims and equivalents thereof.
