Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transportation fee estimating system for quickly and inexpensively estimating a fee for transporting a person by taxi or transporting luggage by truck to a customer who wants to use the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, taxi fares include travel distance,
The operation time, operation time (late night charge), pick-up fee, and the like are comprehensively determined, and there is no room for the user to determine or select a fare.

[0003] In addition, when moving, it is necessary to obtain estimates from a plurality of moving companies. We have repeatedly requested and decided a moving company.

[0004]

However, since there is no room for the user to determine or select a taxi fare as described above, the taxi fare is reduced on the user side when going to a certain destination. If you are below a certain amount (for example, 3000 yen) that you can tolerate, use a taxi, but if you exceed that, choose to stop using a taxi and use other transportation such as a train or bus. Do. However, this leaves frustration.

[0005] In addition, even if a taxi driver thinks that it is better to carry a customer even at a low price when returning to a business base with an empty car, the driver is free to decide a fee in the current fare system. Therefore, if a person who wishes to use is switched to a train or a bus by the above-mentioned selection, he or she must return to the sales office with an empty vehicle, which is still unsatisfactory.

That is, the existing taxi fare system is hardly a favorable fare system for both the applicant and the driver. In many cases, the moving date is fixed due to various reasons and cannot be changed, so there is no need to wait. And often complaints remain later.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a transportation fee estimating system for quickly and inexpensively estimating a fee for transporting a person by a taxi or transporting luggage by a truck to a user who wants to use the device, thereby increasing the degree of use by the user who wants to use the device.

[0013]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A first embodiment of a transportation fee estimating system of the present invention is a fixed telephone or a portable telephone (herein, "mobile telephone" is a general term for mobile communication means including a portable telephone, a PHS, etc.). Taxi use), a taxi applicant requests a taxi to be picked up, while a taxi waiting for a taxi who is near the taxi applicant gives a price estimate, and the cheapest estimate among them A taxi waiting for a customer is allocated to taxi users. Hereinafter, the case where the present system is used by a mobile phone will be mainly described.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a transportation fee estimation system according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the transportation fee estimation system detects a user 1 who is a customer who wants to use a taxi, a mobile phone 2 carried by the user 1, and communication information from the mobile phone 2. Base station 3 (an antenna base station, for example, three base stations A3-1 and base station B in the following description)
3-2, a base station C3-3), and a mobile center station as a communication network management center station that centrally manages these base stations 3 by transmitting and receiving communication information to and from these base stations 3 wirelessly or by wire. 4, a taxi center 5 connected to the portable center station 4 by wireless or wired, and a plurality of waiting taxis 6 (6-1, 6-2, 6- 6) for exchanging information with the taxi center 5 by wireless. 3,...).

The taxi center 5 includes a computer (not shown), which is connected to a storage device that registers (stores) the current location information of the plurality of waiting taxis 6 while constantly updating the current location information. I have. As a result, the taxi center 5 always waits for customers 6
Know where you are. In addition, this taxi waiting for customers 6
Registration of taxi from taxi center 6 to taxi center 5
F) The location where the vehicle is currently located is notified, or a taxi is provided with a travel location detecting device such as a GPS, and the taxi center 5 receives this detection information.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a process performed via the taxi center 5 of the transportation fee estimating system configured as described above. In FIG. 2, first, the user 1 determines whether or not to use a taxi. User 1
However, when using a taxi, the user first calls the taxi center 5 using the mobile phone 2. The call from the mobile phone 2 is connected from the base station 3 closest to the user 1 to the taxi center 5 via the mobile center station 4 (ST1).
Is Y).

Then, the user 1 informs the present location, for example, "in front of the north exit of JR Tachikawa Station", and further communicates the destination, for example, "JR Shinjuku Station West Exit" (ST2). The taxi center 5 may receive the taxi use request information by telephone by an operator or automatically by using a voice / machine code conversion device.

Subsequently, the taxi center 5 has the user 1
Based on the current location information of the user 1 and the current location information of the customer waiting taxi 6, for example, the transportation fee from the current location of the user 1 to the destination is estimated for the customer waiting taxi 6 within a radius of 1 km from the user 1. The request is sent by taxi radio or the like (ST3).

[0019] Taxi waiting for each customer 6 who has received the quote request
(That is, the driver, the same applies hereinafter) calculates the estimated fares for the own vehicle according to the situation of the day and transmits them to the taxi center 5 (ST4). Here, as a situation of the day, for example, when the payday is rainy on Friday, there are inevitably many customers, so there is no need to dare to give a cheap estimate. Conversely, during the time when trains are operating on weekdays before payday, taxi use is small, so it is necessary to give an inexpensive estimate.

Further, for example, assuming that the current location is Tachikawa and the destination is Shinjuku as described above, if a taxi waiting for a customer based in Shinjuku is located in Tachikawa, the taxi service from Tachikawa to Shinjuku There are few taxi customers, so there is a high probability of returning to Shinjuku by empty car. Therefore, it is much more advantageous to secure customers by estimating a cheaper price than usual than to return to Shinjuku by empty car. In addition, taxis with low sales (landing) on the day can increase the occupancy rate by estimating cheap fares and securing customers.

The taxi center 5 to which the estimated fare has been transmitted from each customer waiting taxi 6 designates the customer waiting taxi 6 for which the cheapest estimate has been issued to be dispatched to the user 1 (ST5). It should be noted that the user 1 may be notified at the same time as the vehicle allocation designation that the vehicle has been allocated.

The customer waiting taxi 6, which has issued the cheapest estimated fare designated for dispatching, carries the user 1 and travels to the above destination, and receives the estimated fare from the user 1 (ST7). ). Thereby, the user 1 can get on the cheapest taxi.

In the above example, a mobile phone is used, but a fixed telephone may be used. In the case of a fixed telephone, a connection is made from a public telephone line to a taxi center 5 via a telephone office. In the flowchart of FIG.
The flow indicated by the broken line is a modified example of the above processing. In this modification, when the destination is notified from the mobile phone 2 to the taxi center 5, at the same time, the position of the mobile phone 2, that is, the current location of the user 1 is automatically transmitted (ST2 '). This means that, for example, if the user 1 is in a location whose location is not known, even if he calls the taxi center 5, he cannot tell exactly where he is. In such a case, a system for automatically transmitting the current location is extremely convenient.

In the case of a taxi use request from a fixed telephone, the taxi center 5 prepares a list in which telephone numbers and telephone locations are made to correspond to each other, and based on the telephone caller information, the transmission position, that is, the current location. Is convenient because the user does not have to explain the current location.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a method of automatically detecting the position of the mobile phone 2 by automatically transmitting the position of the mobile phone 2. A general triangulation method is used to detect the position of the mobile phone. That is, as shown in the figure, the mobile phone 2 receives the base station codes from the base stations A, B, and C, stores the electric field strength of the received signal, and stores the stored electric field strength in the base station. It transmits (replies) to the base stations A, B and C together with the station code.

For example, if the base station code of base station A is 0101
If the electric field strength is 10 dB, the base station code of the base station B is 0111 and the electric field strength is 20 dB, the base station code of the base station C is 1111 and the electric field strength is 30 dB, the mobile phone 2 receives, for example, 0101. -10DB,
The electric field strength corresponding to the base station code is transmitted, such as 0111-20DB, 1111-30DB. This transmission may be performed when the electric field strength of any of the base stations 3 detected by the mobile phone 2 changes by a predetermined value.

Since the higher the electric field strength, the closer to the base station 3 that emits the signal, the higher the electric field strength, the higher the electric field strength, the higher the electric field strength. From the table showing the relationship between the electric field strength and the distance, the position of the mobile phone 2 and the radius R
1. It can be recognized that the base station B is located at a radius R2 and the base station C is located at a radius R3 (where R1>R2> R3).

The portable center station 4 transmits the position information of the portable telephone 2 reported from each base station 3, that is, the radii R1, R2.
By calculating these based on the data of R3 and R3, it can be recognized that the mobile phone 2 is located at the point P where the circles drawn by the radii R1, R2 and R3 intersect.

In the calculation for calculating the position of the mobile phone 2, since the latitude and longitude of each of the base stations A, B and C are known in advance, the latitude and the longitude of each of the base stations A, B and C are calculated. The latitude and longitude of the point P can be calculated. Also,
The calculation of these radii R1, R2 and R3 may be performed by each base station 3 as described above, or each of the base stations A, B and C
After that, the base station code and the electric field strength may be sent to the portable center station 4, and the portable center station 4 may collectively calculate from these data. The above-described triangulation method may be performed not based on the electric field strength but based on the arrival time of a radio wave.

Of course, the base station 3 is not limited to the three base stations A, B, and C as described above, and it may be possible to perform position detection with more base stations. Thus, the more accurate position of the mobile phone 2 can be recognized. ST4 ', ST5', and ST6 'are modifications of the estimation method and the method of specifying the taxi to be used. Taxi 6 waiting for each customer is 1 user in addition to the estimated fare
The estimated time of arrival at the place where the vehicle is located, that is, the estimated time of dispatch is also transmitted (ST4 '). Alternatively, since the locations of both the user 1 and the customer waiting taxi 6 are known at the taxi center 5, the scheduled dispatch time may be automatically calculated from the distance between the two.

In this case, for example, the taxi center 5 transmits the three estimated rates and the scheduled vehicle allocation time to the user 1 in ascending order of the estimated rates (ST5 '). This transmission may be performed by voice, or may be transmitted by data so that the user 1 can view it on the screen of the mobile phone 2.

FIG. 4 is a chart showing an example of transmission of the estimated fee and the scheduled vehicle allocation time in the above-mentioned modified example. As shown in the figure, taxi A has the lowest estimated price of 3000
Although it is a circle, it takes the longest when the scheduled dispatch time is 10 minutes. For taxi B, the estimated fare is 3300 yen in the middle and the scheduled dispatch time is 5 minutes in the middle. Taxi C has the highest estimated fee of 3500 yen, but the scheduled dispatch time is one minute and the waiting time is the shortest.

The user 1 determines and designates a taxi to be used based on the three estimated fares and the scheduled dispatch time (ST6 '). In this case, for example, if the user 1 wants to go to the destination in a hurry to the rabbit, the user 1 designates the taxi C which is slightly higher but has a shorter waiting time. If there is enough time, the cheapest taxi A can be designated. Thus, the taxi with the most appropriate conditions can be selected according to the situation where the user 1 is currently located. The notification of the taxi designation may be made by voice, or may be transmitted by data such as A, B, C or 1, 2, 3, or the like.

It should be noted that such a transportation fee estimating system is not limited to taxi use. The present invention can also be applied to transportation of goods, for example, transportation of moving luggage. This is the second
An embodiment will be described below. FIG. 5 is a block diagram schematically illustrating the entire configuration of the transportation fee estimation system according to the second embodiment. As shown in the figure,
This transportation fee estimation system specializes in the transportation of a moving center server device 8 connected to a network 7 such as the Internet, a moving-scheduler terminal 9 also connected to the network 7 wirelessly or by wire, and moving luggage. The moving company terminal 10 of the company that deals with (for example, in the following description, three companies A10-1 and B10-
2, which will be described in C10-3).

The above-mentioned terminal 9 for moving is generally referred to as a client equipped with an Internet browsing browser or the like, for example, a personal computer (personal computer), a terminal device at home such as a terminal dedicated to the Internet, or an electronic organizer. Mobile phones, mobile terminal devices such as microcomputers, etc., which are not shown in the figures, but are not limited to a telephone line via a telephone station, a wireless line via a wireless base station,
It is connected to the network 7 by a satellite communication line via artificial satellite, CATV, or the like. The moving company terminal 10 is also a client having an Internet browsing browser and the like, and is composed of a desktop computer or the like.

FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of the moving center server device 8 connected to the network 7 described above. The moving center server device 8 includes:
A web server 11, a management server 12, and a mail server 13 are provided, and storage devices 14, 15, and 16 are built in or connected as a database.

The storage device 14 stores a database of display image data and text data of a homepage, and the storage device 15 stores moving companies A, B, C,.
Are registered, and the data includes estimation data presented each time by each moving company. Further, the storage device 15 also stores various data such as application information from a prospective moving person. Further, various data for electronic payment related to billing are also stored. The storage device 16 stores a database of e-mail data.

The web server 11, the management server 12 and the mail server 13 are clients connected to the network 7 while using the data in the storage device 14, 15 or 16 of the moving center server device 8, respectively. It operates in cooperation with the Internet browsing browser of the terminal 9 or the terminal 10.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a processing operation in the transportation fee estimating system having the above configuration. This operation is started when it is decided to move (Y in ST11). First, the person who intends to move accesses the home page of the moving center server device 8 via the network 7 through the terminal 9 of the person planning to move, and inputs the moving date, the departure place, the destination, the amount of luggage, the contact information, etc. ( ST12). This input is made on a page of an input format (not shown) of the home page. In the case where there are a plurality of days on which moving is possible, a cheaper company can be selected by inputting all possible days.

The moving center server device 8 distributes the information inputted from the moving candidate terminal 9 of the moving candidate to each of the traders A, B, C,... By e-mail, and requests an estimate (ST13). ). Each company A, B, C,... Creates an estimate based on the transmitted information and transmits it to the moving center server device 8 (ST14). This transmission is
Although not specifically shown, it is carried out by inputting into an estimate inputting format page on the homepage of the moving center server device 8.

Here, it is general that the estimated amount is high at the time of transfer and entrance to school in March and April, but is low at other times. In particular, there is a high possibility that it is possible to make a successful bid for effectively using the return flight. For example, on the day a truck carrying luggage from Tokyo to Osaka returns to Tokyo, if you request a quote for moving from Osaka or near Osaka to Tokyo, it is clear that you can earn enough even if it is cheaper than normal rates It is. When there is a truck in such an operation situation, the trader can increase the possibility of winning by giving a cheap estimate.

In general, there is no way for a prospective moving person to know which moving company is operating a truck for transportation and how to use an inexpensive company by the above system. You can do it. The quotes of the traders A to C need at least an amount and a date, and the moving center server device 8 extracts the cheapest traders or several companies in the order of the cheapest from among them, and presents the quote to the prospective mover. I do. As a matter of course, since the moving candidate has specified the moving date at the time of application, an estimate of the date including that date is presented. If there is a company that can provide a cheap price on a date near the designated moving date, the estimate may be added and presented just in case.

FIG. 8 is a table showing an example of the contents of the contact from the moving center server device 8 to the terminal 9 of the person to be moved. As shown in the figure, in this example, the trader A also presents an estimate of March 30 which is a designated date in addition to the estimate of April 2 which is a designated moving date.
The amount of money on April 2 is as high as 100,000 yen, and the contact address is "xxxxxx". The amount of money on March 30, which is earlier than that day, is as low as 80,000 yen, and the contact address is “□□□□□”.

The estimate of the trader B is April 1, one day earlier than the moving date of April 2, but the amount is 4
The price is 90,000 yen, which is lower than the amount of the month. In addition, the contact address is “XXXXX”. The estimate of the trader C is 110000 yen, the highest price, and the date is April 3, one day after the moving date of April 2. Also,
Contact information is "△△△△△".

If the prospective moving user of the prospective moving terminal 9 is satisfied with any of the above estimates, he or she applies to the trader via the moving center server device 8 or directly to the trader by telephone or on a homepage on the Internet (ST1).
5). Then, they move on the day of the estimation (ST1).
6).

As described above, first, when viewed from the user side,
There is an advantage that a cheap moving company can be obtained. Also,
Moving companies also have the advantage of being able to secure customers when they return empty from other moving destinations. Therefore, the moving center transportation fee estimating service provided by the moving center server device 8 can be configured to be charged. Various methods can be applied to this billing method.

First, the user has the advantage of being able to obtain an inexpensive moving company as described above. For example, the system usage fee is charged to the user when the contract is concluded. In addition, since the moving company also has the advantage of being able to secure customers when returning home with an empty vehicle as described above, the moving company may be charged for each contract in addition to the basic system fee. Furthermore,
Since there is an advantage for both the user and the moving company, it is also possible to appropriately charge the charges to both parties each time a contract is made.

[0048]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, a plurality of taxis or fares are set according to the current position of a transport vehicle of a taxi or a moving company or the destination of a user. Therefore, it is convenient for the user to use a cheap taxi or moving company, and the taxi or moving company can operate the car efficiently and improve the profitability.
