The input unit 106 and the display unit 107 are connected via a bus line, and the CPU 10 is operated according to an input / output program.
1 controls their operation.

Next, the operation algorithm of the action history creation system in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and the operation according to this program code is sequentially executed. Further, the operation according to the above program code transmitted via the transmission medium can be sequentially executed.
This is the same in other embodiments described later, and it is also possible to execute the operation peculiar to this embodiment by using a program / data externally supplied via a transmission medium in addition to the recording medium.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the action recording process executed on the portable terminal 1 side. The action recording process is an interrupt process from a main flow (not shown). First, the mobile terminal 1 acquires the system time and determines whether it is within the preset time zone of the action record (step A1). That is, in order to operate the action recording, a preset time zone that is arbitrarily set in advance is read, and by comparing this set time zone with the system time, it is determined whether or not the action time is within the set time zone. In this case, if the terminal owner sets the range from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on Monday to Friday as the time zone of the action record, for example, in association with the working time period, the action record processing described below is performed. Is executed only during this set time period. Now
If it is within the set time zone, the system date is acquired and compared with the last date recorded in the date-specific action record file 11 to determine whether the date has been updated (step A
2) If it has been updated, "Today's date" is recorded in the final empty area of the date-specific action recording file 11 (step A3).

Then, it is checked whether the automatic measurement timing is 3 minutes apart by the timer operation (step A4) or whether an interrupt instruction is given by an input operation (step A5). Here, when any of the measurement instructions is received, an area for one record is secured corresponding to “today's date” in the date-specific action record file 11, and the current item is set as the head item of this area. The system time (measurement time) is recorded (step A6). Then, the GPS function is activated to check whether GPS radio waves have been received (step A7). If normal reception is possible, the current position acquired by the GPS function is recorded in the corresponding item position of the record secured in the date-specific action recording file 11 (step A8), but inside the building, etc. When the GPS radio wave cannot be normally received, the current position acquired by the terrestrial mobile communication (cellular phone, PHS) is recorded in the date-specific action recording file 11 (step A9).

Next, the record record immediately before the date-specific action record file 11 is accessed, and "position information" is read from the record (step A10), and "position information" is read.
Whether or not is checked (step A11). Now, when performing the first measurement today (in the case of measuring the starting point position), "position information" is not recorded immediately before the date-specific action record file 11, but at the time of the second and subsequent measurements,
Since the previous position information is recorded, the moving direction is calculated from the current position information and the previous position information, and recorded in the corresponding item position of the record secured in the date-specific action recording file 11 (step A12). Note that the calculation of the movement direction is selected from, for example, eight directions of north, south, east, and west. After the data “time”, “position”, and “direction” for one record are obtained in this way, the process returns to the main flow, and the above-described operation is repeated. Therefore,
The date-specific action record file 11 records, in time series, a record measured every three minutes and a record measured every interruption by an input operation.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart which is started to be executed on the side of the user terminal (PC) 2 in response to the daily report creation instruction. First, the user terminal 2 checks whether or not the mobile terminal 1 is connected (step B1), and stands by until the mobile terminal 1 is connected. Now, when the mobile terminal 1 is connected, the "password" together with the "user ID" assigned at the time of membership registration from the service center 5 in advance.
Is input to request the user authentication to the service center 5 (step B2), and when the authentication result is transmitted from the service center 5 in response to this, the authentication result is received (step B3). Here, in the case of an NG (negative) response (step B4), the daily report creation process ends at this point, but in the case of receiving an OK (affirmative) response (step B4), the portable terminal 1 All the contents of the date-specific action record file 11 are read out and displayed (step B5).

When the desired output target range is designated from this action recording screen (step B6), the action record record of the designated output target range is read out and transmitted to the service center 5 together with the request for analysis request ( Step B
7). The output range is specified on a daily basis.
Action records for days and weeks may be specified collectively. Here, when the service center 5 side receives a request for an analysis request for an action record from the user terminal 2,
The action history table is created by analyzing it, and the operation on the service center 5 side will be described in detail later.

Now, the user terminal 2 is the service center 5
When the action history table created on the side is received, the action history table is recorded and saved (step B8) and displayed on the terminal screen (step B9). As described above, the screen of this action history table (see FIG. 5) shows “measurement time”, “place (point name)”, “action type”, “duration time (stay time)”,
The fields of "amount" and "remark" are displayed, and the user confirms the contents of this screen and operates the enter key Y to confirm the contents, but edits if necessary. Operate the key X. If the edit key X has been operated (step B10), the action history table editing process starts (step B11).

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an editing process when the contents of the action history table are edited on the user terminal 2 side. Whether the user terminal 2 is a remark link designation (step C1) or data input (step C1). C2), it is determined whether it is a request for an action route map (step C3) or whether editing is completed (step C4). Here, when the remarks button C is operated (step C1) and an arbitrary line item of the detail section B in the action history table is selected and designated (step C5),
Remark data corresponding to the selected row, that is, the link information (detailed point information) transmitted together with the action history table is called and displayed as a list (step C6). When any data is selected from this list (step C7), the data is inserted and displayed in the remarks column of the line (step C8).

When data is input when a matrix arbitrarily designated in the detail section B of the action history table is selected as a correction target item (step C2),
The contents of the item to be corrected are switched and displayed in the input data (step C9). If the action route map request button D is operated (step C3), the service center 5 is requested to create and transmit an action route map (step C10). As a result, when the action route map created on the service center 5 side is received (step C1
1), the received action route map is displayed and output (step C12). The display screen in this case is as shown in FIG.

Such editing processing returns to step C1 and is repeated until an end instruction is detected in step C4. When such editing is completed and the enter key Y is operated (step B10 in FIG. 9), the edited action history information and the action route map are stored and saved in a disk or the like (step B12). After that, the presence or absence of a print instruction is checked (step B13). In this case, when the print target is selected and the print start is instructed, the action history information of the print target and the action route map are converted into a predetermined print format. Then, it is transmitted to the printer device 3 (step B14).

The operation on the service center 5 side will be described in detail below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Figure 1
1 and 12 are flowcharts showing the process of creating the action history table. First, the service center 5 executes user authentication processing based on the user ID and password transmitted from the user terminal 2 (step D1), and in the case of authentication OK, that is, in the case of an analysis request from a member user. (Step D2), the action record is received (Step D
3). Then, the content for one day is extracted from the received action record (step D4), the extracted action record is analyzed, and the amount of change between points is calculated (step D).
5). The amount of change in this case is the movement distance per unit time.

An overall analysis is performed in which the amount of change between each point calculated by this and the moving direction of each point in the action record are sequentially tracked according to the progress of time (step D6), and the map database 52 is obtained according to this analysis result. By referring to the transportation facility database 53, it is determined whether there is at least one section using the transportation facility such as a train, an airplane, a passenger ship, and a road (step D7). In this case, if the moving distance per unit time is large and the transportation exists in the moving direction, it is determined that the transportation is used.

If at least one section using the transportation means is included (step D8), the range of each usage section is specified (step D9), and the starting point position information is specified for each specified section. And the end point position information are acquired, and the point names corresponding to the start point and the end point are acquired from the map database 52 (step D10). For example, when moving from Tokyo station to Shinjuku station using transportation, the starting point is “Tokyo station” and the ending point is “Shinjuku station”. in this case,
Positional information (positional information on the way) between "Tokyo Station" and "Shinjuku Station" is canceled.

Then, the use time zone between the start point and the end point is calculated for each use section based on the "measurement time" in the action record (step D11). For example, if you move from "Tokyo Station" to "Shinjuku Station" using the 〇 ○ line of the 〇rail company from 9:00 am to 9:30 am 9:00 am to 9:30 am is calculated as the use time zone to "Shinjuku station". Further, referring to the transportation database 53, the transportation information used is acquired for each usage section (step D12), and the "transportation name" is extracted from the acquired information (step D12).
13) Further, in addition to calculating and acquiring the required time for each usage section (step D14), the usage amount is calculated and acquired (step D15).

In this case, as the transportation name "transportation facility name, route name", for example, the ◯◯ line of the ◯◯ railway company is extracted, and the required time between them is searched in the required time calculation table 56. And the usage charge during that period is calculated by searching the usage charge calculation table 57. In this way, the starting and ending point names, usage time zones, transportation names, required times, and fees obtained for each transportation system are temporarily stored and stored in word memory as action history data when using transportation. (Step D16).

Next, moving to step D17 in FIG. 12, an overall analysis of sequentially tracking the amount of change (moving distance) and the moving direction between other points excluding the sections using the transportation system with the passage of time is performed. To do. Then, according to the analysis result, each section moved on foot is specified (step D18). In this case, the determination is made based on whether the moving distance per unit time corresponds to walking. A travel time zone is calculated for each of the walking travel sections identified by this (step D19), and the map database 52 is referred to, and the start / end point name of the section is acquired for each walking travel section ( Step D20). At that time, if the start point / end point when using the transportation system obtained as described above and the start point / end point when walking are the same, the point name corresponding to the start point / end point of the walking movement is set. I try to cancel the acquisition.

Further, for each walking movement section, the required time of the section is calculated, but in this case, it is obtained according to the movement distance of the section (step D21). In this way, the start / end point names, moving time zones, and required times obtained for each walking movement section are temporarily stored and stored in the word memory as action history data in the case of walking movement (step D2).
2). Next, the other remaining sections are specified as stay sections (step D23). That is, when the user stays in a certain place such as in a building with almost no movement, the section is specified as a stay section, and the stay time zone is calculated for each stay section (step D24). ),
The stay time is calculated (step D25), and these are temporarily stored and stored in the word memory as action history data when the user is staying (step D26).

This completes the analysis of the action record,
When all the information on all the sections is gathered, each data in the word memory is arranged in a predetermined format to create an action history file for one day (step D27). afterwards,
The map database 52 and the point-specific detailed information database 54 are accessed based on each point (point name) in the action history file (step D28), and the corresponding address data and point-specific detailed information are acquired (step D2).
9) Add the address data and the detailed information for each point to the action history file as link information (step D3).
0).

As a result, when the action history file for one day has been created, it is checked whether or not the received action history includes one for another date (step D31), and the unprocessed for another date. If the remaining action record still remains, the process returns to step D4 of FIG. 11, the action record of that date is extracted, and the above-described operation is repeated to obtain the action history for that date. Creating a file When the action history files for all designated dates have been created in this way (step D31), each action record file for each date created and the points added as link information thereto The other detailed information is read and transmitted to each of the requesting user terminals 2 (step D3).
2).

FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing the operation that the service center 5 starts executing when it receives a transmission request for the behavior route map from the user terminal 2. The service center 5 reads the action record file created corresponding to the requesting user (step E1), analyzes it,
The main points are extracted (step E2). In other words, when using transportation, the starting point and ending point are extracted as the main points for each transportation, but when not using the transportation, the starting point and ending point are the main points for each walking movement. To extract. Then, the map database 52 is accessed based on the extracted main points, and the map information including all the main points is acquired (step E3). Then, the name of each main point is plotted in the acquired map information (step E
4) Add necessary items to create a wide area map (step E5).

Next, this wide area map is analyzed to identify a portion where a plurality of action routes exist (step E6),
While extracting the main points of that part (Step E
7) Based on the extracted main points, the map database 52 is accessed to acquire the map information including all the main points (step E8). Then, the name of each main point is plotted in the acquired map information (step E9), and necessary items are added to create a partially enlarged map (step E10). Then, it is determined whether or not there is another portion in which a plurality of action routes exist (step E11), and if there is, a return is made to step E6, and the above operation is repeated. When the wide area map and the partially enlarged map have been created in this way, the user terminal 2 that requests them
(Step E12).

As described above, in the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 1 acquires the current position each time the position measurement is instructed, and records the correspondence between the position information and the time at that time in the action record. It is stored and managed as information, for example,
When this behavior record is transferred to the user terminal 2 at the end of business, the user terminal 2 requests the service center 5 to analyze the behavior record, and the service center 5 refers to the map database 52 and the transportation facility database 53. Then, the action record information is analyzed, and a time-series action history table including a plurality of spot names is created and transmitted to the requesting user terminal 2, so that the action record need not be recorded in the notebook. , While it is possible to efficiently create an accurate action history table,
It is possible to obtain a highly reliable action history table. In this case, since it is a time-series action history including the point name, it is easy to confirm the content. In particular, the mobile terminal 1 automatically measures the position every 3 minutes, and also performs the position measurement by interruption in response to an input operation, so that the position measurement can be performed at a narrower interval than the automatic measurement. In addition to being possible, position measurement at important points desired by the user is also possible,
You can get a precise and desired behavior record.

Further, the service center 5 discriminates the transportation means used by analyzing the behavior record information and prepares a time-series behavior history table including the transportation means name and the point name. Also, you can know the names of transportations such as trains, planes, passenger ships, and toll roads used on the go (for example, transportation facility name, route name), and you can check the action details more concretely. .

The service center 5 analyzes the action record information to calculate the time required for movement between the points, and prepares a time-series action history table including the time required and the point name. Therefore, the action history table including the time element can be created, and the action history table can be accurately grasped. The time required between points can be calculated according to the type of transportation used between points and the distance between them, and in the case of walking, it can be calculated according to the distance between points. In addition to this, it is also possible to calculate the staying time staying at a certain place, so that it is possible to obtain a detailed action history table.

The service center 5 analyzes the action record information to calculate the fee required to move between points, and creates a time-series action history table including the fee and the point name. From, you can know the charge of the transportation used on the go. In addition to the charges for railways used between points, toll road charges can be obtained for private cars. In addition, the service center 5 analyzes the action record information to extract detailed information about the points in addition to a plurality of point names, and creates a time-series action history table including the detailed information and the point names. Since it is created, it is possible to know, for example, the type of business of the store or company at the measurement point, the telephone number, and the like, and it is possible to utilize it as the subsequent material.

The user terminal 2 stores and stores the action history table created by the service center 5 and arbitrarily corrects and adds the contents of the action history table. By correcting the content or adding new information, it is possible to obtain an accurate and desired behavior history table. When the user terminal 2 requests the service center 5 to create an action route map,
The service center 5 creates an action route map based on the action history table and transmits it to the requesting user terminal 2, so that the action route can be confirmed by the map, and the contents of the action history table can be confirmed. It will be a supplementary material when checking,
It becomes possible to obtain materials that are easy to understand visually. Further, since the user terminal 2 is configured to print out the daily report based on the action history table for each day, for example,
It is possible to easily obtain the daily work report of the sales person, and it is also possible to collectively obtain the daily report for each date from the action records for a plurality of days. Further, since the service center 5 performs the service of analyzing the action record information and creating the action history, even an individual user can easily use the service via the Internet or the like at any time. At the same time, detailed and concrete analysis can be expected.

In the first embodiment described above,
I tried to calculate the "movement direction" on the mobile terminal 1 side,
When the service center 5 is requested to analyze the action record, the “movement direction” may be calculated on the service center 5 side, and the action record includes detailed position information. Therefore, the calculation of the “movement direction” is not an essential element. In addition, in the above-described first embodiment,
After the mobile terminal 1 transfers the action record to the user terminal 2, the user terminal (PC) 2 requests the service center 5 to analyze the action record, and the action history table as the analysis result is stored and stored on the user terminal 2 side. However, the mobile terminal 1 side may make an analysis request to the service center 5 and the action history table as the analysis result may be stored and saved on the mobile terminal 1 side.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment,
Although an action record analysis request was made to the service center 5, if a map database and a transportation database are provided on the user terminal 2 side, the action record is analyzed on the user terminal 2 side to create an action history table. You can also Further, in the above-described first embodiment, for example, at the end of business on one day, an action record analysis request is made to obtain a daily action history table, but one record of action records is obtained. After that, the analysis request for the previous action record record may be requested. That is, the action record and the action history may be acquired in parallel for each record. Furthermore,
When an arbitrary point on the action route map is designated, information about the point, for example, a spot name, an address, a contact, a required time, an amount, etc. may be displayed in a pop-up.

(Second Embodiment) A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. In the first embodiment described above, each time a position measurement instruction is received, an action record in which the time and position information at that time are associated is obtained. However, in the second embodiment, the position measurement instruction is acquired. Each time you receive a service, in addition to the location information, you access the service center 5 to obtain a "point name / specific name" for each point.
Is obtained, the "time zone" is calculated, and the current altitude is measured to obtain an action record. Here, basically the same components in both embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the characteristic part of the second embodiment will be mainly described below.

The mobile terminal 1 according to the second embodiment is

The mobile terminal 1 according to the second embodiment has a function of creating an action history table while making an inquiry to the service center 5.

In the second embodiment, after the mobile terminal 1 transfers the action record to the user terminal 2, the user terminal (PC) 2 requests the service center 5 to analyze the action record, and the analysis result is displayed. Although a certain action history table may be stored and saved on the user terminal 2 side, the mobile terminal 1 side requests the service center 5 for analysis, and the action history table as the analysis result is stored and saved on the mobile terminal 1 side. You may If a map database or a transportation database is provided on the user terminal 2 side, the action record can be created by analyzing the action record on the user terminal 2 side.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal 1. First, the mobile terminal 1 monitors whether or not the timing for automatic position measurement is reached (step F1), and if it is the measurement timing, the current position is acquired and time zone information and the like are obtained, and the date-based action recording file 11 is stored in the file 11. Store (step F2). When a key input is detected (step F3), if it is a diary creation instruction (step F4), diary creation processing is performed (step F5), and if it is another instruction, processing corresponding to it is performed. (Step F6). The diary creation process is a process of creating an action history table (diary) while inquiring of the service center 5 about the use of transportation.

It is checked whether S radio waves have been received (step G1), and accordingly, position acquisition by GPS (step G2) or position acquisition by mobile phone / PHS is performed (step G3). Then, the service center 5 is accessed to acquire the spot name / specific name (step G4). Furthermore, altitude information is acquired from an altitude sensor (not shown) provided in the mobile terminal 1 (step G5). Then, the measured position information, the calculated time zone, the spot name / proper name, and the altitude information are temporarily stored in the work memory as an action record (step G6).

In the second embodiment configured as described above, the position information, the time zone information, the point name / proper name, and the altitude information are obtained as the action record at each automatic position measurement timing, and therefore, the above-mentioned first embodiment is described. In addition to the effect similar to that of the first embodiment, the information can be confirmed on the go. Further, since the mobile terminal 1 also measures altitude information and records it as an action record, if the analysis result of the altitude information analyzed on the service center 5 side is received, for example, even when moving within a building, It is also possible to obtain an action history of how many floors have been moved.

Note that, at each automatic position measurement timing, the service center 5 is accessed when there is an input instruction for confirming information without acquiring the spot name / proper name, and the position accumulated until now is stored. Information may be transmitted to acquire the spot name / proper name. Further, for example, not only when requesting analysis of an action record at the end of business on one day to obtain a daily action history table, after obtaining an action record for one record, the previous action record record An analysis request may be made.
