Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transmit position display system applied to delivery business according to allocation of taxis and ordering, capable of performing allocation of taxis and delivery from a cellular phone by computing and grasping the position information of a transmitter as an ordering person from the radio condition by a server device as a third party and displaying the position information to a place for allocation of taxis and delivery so as to improve an ordering person's convenience although in the conventional allocation of taxis and delivery, the position of the ordering person has been grasped orally from his address and the allocations of taxis and delivery have been visually confirmed from the address, so a request for the allocation of taxis and delivery can't be made if the ordering person does not grasp the address of his position by the cellular phone which has become popular these days. SOLUTION: In this system, a transmitter having a position information detecting and informing means of the transmitter side, which is possessed by the ordering person, a server device having a means for conforming one or more position information with map information, and a display device capable of detecting and displaying the own position such as a navigation device fitted to a taxi are connected through the Internet.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is a system applied to a delivery service according to taxi dispatch, order, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in vehicle allocation and delivery, the position of the orderer is verbally grasped by the address, and vehicle allocation and delivery are performed by visually checking the address.

[0003]

However, in the case where the orderer does not know the address of his / her position using a mobile phone or the like which has become widespread these days, he / she cannot request such vehicle allocation / delivery.

[0004]

In view of these problems, a server device, which is a third party, calculates the position information of the caller who is the orderer by grasping the position information by calculating the position information from the radio wave condition and the like. By displaying it at the place of dispatching and delivering,
We invented a system for dispatching and delivering vehicles from mobile phones.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

First Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a flowchart to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, the left side is a mobile phone, the center is a server device, and the right side is a navigation device mounted in a taxi. Select a taxi call from your mobile phone. The mobile phone communicates with the server device and notifies its location.
The server device communicates with the navigation system of any taxi that can be dispatched, and displays the position information obtained from the mobile phone on its display device.

After the display is completed, the server device notifies the mobile phone of the displayed taxi information, and the mobile phone displays the notified taxi information.

In this way, a taxi can be called by communication from the mobile phone.

FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of empty vehicle management required when searching for an empty vehicle. Here, a vacant taxi sends empty vehicle information to the server device, and the information is registered in the empty server database in the server device, and then the map information on the server device and the position information of the empty vehicle that has been sent. The current position of the vacant car is displayed on the display device of the server based on. As a result, it can be used for the empty vehicle search in FIG. In FIG. 2, the taxi side transmits the vacant vehicle status, but this may be a response to the vacant vehicle information inquiry at the time of vacant vehicle search performed by the server device.

[0009]

[Embodiment 2] In Embodiment 1, even if the position of the mobile phone changes, the mobile device sequentially notifies the server device of the changed information, and the server device successively outputs the changed position information on the display device of the taxi. By performing the update process, it is possible to arrange a taxi even if the mobile phone moves.

[0010]

[Third Embodiment] In the first and second embodiments, when selecting a taxi that can be dispatched, it is possible to select the taxi closest to the mobile phone by communicating with the navigation system installed in the taxi. is there.

[0011]

[Fourth Embodiment] Further, by notifying the mobile phone of the position information of the taxi that has been dispatched, it becomes possible to display the current position information of the taxi on the mobile phone and notify the user.

Further, by obtaining the road condition information from the navigation system, the server device can notify the mobile phone of the expected arrival time.

[0013]

Fifth Embodiment FIG. 3 shows another embodiment. In the figure, the left side is the orderer's mobile phone A, the center is the server device, and the right side is the courier's mobile phone B. A communicates with the server device and requests home delivery. The server device that has received the request acquires the position information of A. The acquired position information and order information are notified to B by communication. By displaying the information from the server device on the display device of B, it becomes possible to deliver to the moving orderer.

[0014]

Sixth Embodiment In these embodiments, the display of the position information may be a mark on the map or may be character information.

[0015]

As described above, by mutually providing the position information corresponding to the communication means such as the mobile phone, the caller can receive the desired service.

Further, such a service can be applied to medical care and welfare, and can also provide a service that supports social life.
