[1.5] Operation of First Embodiment Next, an outline of the operation according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the sequence chart of FIG. The mobile object management system according to the present embodiment transmits information when a user requests a distance and an azimuth to a predetermined zone. Note that, among the arithmetic expressions stored in the distance calculation database 110, the arithmetic expressions used in the present embodiment are predetermined. That is, it is assumed that the arithmetic expression is predetermined by the administrator based on the shape of the zone (circle or polygon) and the reference position set in the zone.

First, the control unit 102 of the management server 100 requests the mobile terminal 10 for positioning data every predetermined period (for example, every 5 minutes) (step Sa1). In response to this request, each mobile terminal 10 transmits positioning data indicating the user position of each mobile terminal 10 to the management server 100 (Step Sa2). As described above, the user location management unit 103 of the management server 100 acquires the location information on the multiple mobile terminals 10 (Step Sa3).

User location management unit 10 of management server 100
3 stores the acquired location information of the mobile terminal 10 in the user location management database 104 as shown in FIG. Further, the out-of-zone user management unit 107 detects the mobile terminal 10 existing outside the zone based on the position information and stores it in the out-of-zone user management database 108. That is, the out-of-zone user management unit 107 extracts the mobile terminal 10 located outside the zone by comparing the location information of the user with the data corresponding to the zone stored in the zone management database 106 (the above). , Step Sa4).

Thereafter, when the user of the mobile terminal 10 'requests distance and direction data (step Sa)

It becomes possible. Moreover, even if the zone is a communicable area in which the base station 1020 connected to the mobile communication network 1000 can communicate with the mobile terminal 10, the zone is independent of the communicable area by the administrator. The polygon may be set arbitrarily. When the zone is a communicable area, since the shape of the zone is a circle, the distance / azimuth is calculated as shown in FIGS. On the other hand, when the zone is a polygon, the distance / azimuth is calculated as shown in FIGS.

In this embodiment, the data is transmitted only to the user who has requested the distance / direction data. However, the mobile terminal located outside the zone is transmitted to the zone of each mobile terminal. May be transmitted.

Although the calculation formula used for calculating the distance is determined in advance by the administrator, the calculation formula may be automatically set according to a request from the user. That is, when the user requests the distance to the zone as the end of the zone, the calculation is performed as shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 10 or FIG. 11, and when the user requests the distance to the center of the zone, the calculation is performed as shown in FIG. 9, it may be calculated.

Further, in this embodiment, since the distance between one point in the zone and the mobile terminal 10 'is calculated, the distance / azimuth data is calculated until the calculated distance becomes "-" (negative). By transmitting, the mobile terminal 10 'is placed in the zone.
Can be guided.

The zone generation unit 220 generates a hexagonal zone ZZ10 corresponding to the zone number Z10 based on the positioning data received from the mobile terminals 10A to 10F received by the user location management unit 103. At this time, the zone generation unit 220 stores the hexagonal zone ZZ10 in the zone management database 221 as a reference zone ZZ00 (reference area). Thereafter, it is assumed that the user carrying the mobile terminal 10A has moved to a position as shown in FIG. The zone generation unit 220 generates a zone again. At this time, the zone monitoring unit 230
Since the mobile terminal 10A greatly deviates from the reference zone ZZ00, it is determined that the newly generated zone ZZ10 is greatly deformed from the previous reference zone ZZ00,
The zone ZZ10 'corresponding to the zone number Z10' is generated again based on the positions of the mobile terminals 10B to 10F belonging to the group excluding the mobile terminal 10A. Then, the distance calculation unit 109 determines that the zone ZZ10 ′ and the mobile terminal 1
