Is an internet connection device, and 7 is a base station.

The user terminal 2 has a browser,
It is possible to connect to the facility information distribution server 1 via the Internet 4. As a result, the user transfers the first facility (ID = F000) from the user terminal 2 to the facility information distribution server 1.
03) from the second facility (ID = F00005),
The fifth facility (ID) via the third facility (ID = F00010) and the fourth facility (ID = F00008)
= F00001), the schedule of movement can be registered. The facilities include not only buildings but also facilities such as bus stops, telephone poles, telephone poles, pipes for water and gas, waterways and manholes. Further, it is not limited to being artificial, and it may be a natural one such as a waterfall or a cape. In other words, if the place is specified and it is the purpose of the user, it is effective as a facility. A schedule is constructed by ordering these facilities. For example, the schedule shows the locations of customers who a salesperson visits in one day in the order of visits, the order in which tourists visit the sights that one visits in one day, and the utility poles surveyed by a researcher in one day. They are arranged in the order in which they are surveyed, or in the order in which the person in charge of construction works the water facilities that they construct in one day. In this example, the registration is made from the user terminal 2, but it is also possible to make the registration from the mobile phone terminal 3.

The mobile phone terminal 3 can be connected to the Internet 4 via the mobile phone network 5. Thereby, the facility information distribution server 1 is configured to deliver the facility information suitable for the situation to the mobile phone terminal 3 in response to a request from the mobile phone terminal 3.

204 is a map processing unit, 205 is a map database,
Reference numeral 206 is a facility setting processing unit, and 207 is a facility database. One or both of the map database 205 and the facility database 207 may be accessed externally.

The operation will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schedule registration process flow on the map screen according to the first embodiment. The user authentication unit 201 receives the user ID and password from the user terminal 2 (S301),
User authentication is performed (S302). When the authentication is normally performed, the schedule registration initial processing unit 202 transmits an initial screen for schedule registration (S303). This initial screen is configured to transfer the implementation date, and the schedule registration initial processing unit 202 receives the implementation date (S
304). Then, the user ID and the implementation date are stored in the schedule storage unit 203 as a key of the schedule table to be created (S305).

When the map processing unit 204 receives an instruction to display a map screen from the user terminal 2 (S306), it acquires map information from the map database 205 according to the instruction and makes it suitable for display on the user terminal 2. The map screen processed as described above is transmitted to the user terminal 2 (S307). At this time, the map database 205 is the facility database 20.
The facility included in the map is searched from 7 by using the longitude / latitude as a key, and the facility ID is acquired. Then, the map information includes the facility icon indicating the facility and the facility ID. At this time, it is also effective to acquire the facility information such as the facility name from the facility database and use it for displaying the icon. Thereby, the facility icon is displayed on the map screen, and the map processing unit 204 is configured to be able to specify the facility ID corresponding to the facility icon.

The user indicates the facility icon on the displayed map screen, and the user terminal 2 returns the identification information of the facility icon. The identification information of the facility icon is an example of information that can identify the facility. In addition, the user may directly point on the displayed map screen, and the point position indicated on the map screen may be returned as information that can identify the facility. In addition, it is also effective to convert the point position designated on the map screen into latitude / longitude and return the latitude / longitude of the facility as information that can identify the facility.
It is also effective to convert the point position designated on the map screen into a location and return the location of the facility as information that can identify the facility.

The map processing unit 204 receives the information capable of specifying the facility (S308), converts it into facility identification information (facility ID) capable of specifying the facility, and the facility setting processing unit 206 orders the schedule storage unit 203. To be stored (S309).

If necessary, the map screens are switched by the processing of S306 and S307, and also S308 and S30.
By the processing of 9, a plurality of facilities are registered. Then, the processing is ended by the ending instruction (S310).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the facility database. In this example, the equipment identification information (facility ID), the facility name, the location, the longitude / latitude, the coordinate system specific to the map database, the telephone number, the zip code, the landmark, and the items 401 to 409 of the walking time from the landmark are included. However, records 451 to 455 are provided for each facility. Items can be provided according to the characteristics of the facility.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the schedule storage unit. The schedule is stored with the user ID and the implementation date as keys, and is configured to store the facility identification information (facility ID) in order. In this example, they are registered in descending order.

In the above example, the facility is registered from the map screen, but the facility can be selected from the facility list and registered. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a configuration of a facility information distribution server related to schedule registration on the facility list screen according to the first embodiment. A facility list processing unit 208 is provided instead of the map processing unit 204 in FIG. 2 and is configured to directly access the facility database 207. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a schedule registration processing flow by the facility list screen in the first embodiment. Steps S701 to S705 are the same as steps S301 to S305 in FIG. After that, the facility search condition is received (S706), and the facility database is searched for the facility according to the facility search condition (S707). A facility list (including a facility name and a facility ID) is acquired as a search result, and a facility list screen is generated based on this. On the facility list screen, facility icons that can be designated by the user are arranged. The facility name is normally used for displaying the facility icon, but other displays such as the facility ID may be used. Then, the generated facility list screen is transmitted (S709). The user instructs the facility icon on the displayed facility list screen and sends back the identification information of the facility icon. The identification information of the facility icon is an example of information that can identify the facility. S710 to S712
Is the same as S308 to S310 in FIG.

Next, the distribution of facility information will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a configuration of a facility information distribution server related to distribution of facility information according to the first embodiment. 801
Is an instruction receiving unit, 802 is a guidance facility determining unit, 803
Is a stop-by status storage unit, 804 is a guidance facility storage unit, 8
Reference numeral 05 is a facility information extracting unit, 806 is a facility database, 807 is a facility information transmitting unit, and 808 is a guidance facility changing unit.

The stop-off situation storage unit 803 is provided with a table corresponding to the table of the schedule storage unit 203. The table in the initial state is configured to be registered by the implementation date. Examples are shown in FIGS. 9 to 14. Specifically, a table is provided with the user ID as a key. When the tables for the current day and thereafter are provided in advance, the implementation date is also a key. The facility ID and the status of the stop-by state are stored for each facility. In this example, like the schedule storage unit 203,
The facility IDs and stop-by statuses are stored in descending order. For the stop-by situation, "not reached" is set as an initial value.

It should be noted that the status of the stop-by situation is "not reached" which is assumed not to have reached the facility, "during stay" which is assumed to have reached the facility and is staying, and staying at the facility It is one of the "relocation" that is supposed to have been completed and retired. “During stay” and “removed” indicate that they have been reached.

9 to 14 show configuration examples in the order in which the situation changes. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a stop-by situation storage unit that indicates a situation where the first facility has not been reached. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a stop-by situation storage unit that indicates a situation while staying at the first facility. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a stop-by situation storage unit that indicates a situation where the second facility has not been reached. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a stop-by situation storage unit showing a situation while staying at the second facility. FIG.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a stop-by situation storage unit showing a situation where the third facility has not been reached. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a stop-by situation storage unit that indicates a situation during a stay at the third facility.

The operation will be described. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a distribution processing flow of facility information in the first embodiment. Upon receiving the distribution request from the mobile phone terminal 3, the guidance facility determination unit 802 performs guidance facility determination processing (S1501). In this example, as the guidance facility determination process, the facility that is first displayed after the delivery request is received by the delivery request receiving unit is determined as the initial guidance facility. It is also effective to determine the facility to be displayed by other opportunities and methods. Here, the guidance facility determination process (S1501) will be described in detail. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a guidance facility determination processing flow in the first embodiment. The guidance facility determination unit 802 reads the corresponding table from the stop-off situation storage unit 803 using the user ID included in the distribution request as a key. Then, the following processing is performed for the stop-by situations corresponding to the facility IDs from the starting facility ID to the ending facility ID (S160).
1).

If the stop-by status is "leave", the process proceeds to the next facility ID process (S1602). This is because there is no need to deliver facility information.

When the stop-by situation is "while staying", the facility ID is stored as a guide facility ID in the guide facility storage section (S1604), and the process ends.

When the stop-by status is "unreached", the stop-by status corresponding to the facility ID is updated to "during stay" (S1603), and the facility ID is set as the guide facility ID.
The information is stored in the guidance facility storage unit (S1604), and the process ends.
For example, when accessing a facility that has not been reached first, such as when accessing in the state shown in FIG. 11 or FIG. 13, it is assumed that the facility will be reached soon.
Change to.

Next, as shown in FIG. 15, the facility information extraction unit 805 performs a facility information extraction process (S1502).
Here, the facility information extraction processing (S1502) will be described in detail. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a facility information extraction processing flow. The facility information extraction unit 805 reads the guidance facility ID from the guidance facility storage unit 804 (S1701), and guides the facility I.
Facility information corresponding to D is extracted from the facility database 806 (S1702). When the items to be used as the facility information are predetermined among the items managed by the facility database 806, it is also effective to selectively extract the items.

Next, as shown in FIG. 15, the facility information transmitting unit 807 transmits the extracted facility information to the mobile phone terminal 3 (S1503). The extracted facility information is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone terminal 3. On the display screen, a "progress instruction" for instructing to display the next facility and a "return instruction" for instructing to display the previous facility. And a “termination instruction” for instructing the termination of display are configured to be returned from the mobile phone terminal 3. After that, the instruction receiving unit 801 receives the instruction from the mobile phone terminal 3 (S1504).

If the content of the instruction is an end instruction (S15)
05) ends, but if the content of the instruction is a “progress instruction” or a “return instruction”, the guidance facility changing unit 808
Performs guidance facility change processing (S1506).

Here, the guide facility changing process will be described in detail. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a guidance facility change processing flow. When the content of the instruction is (S1801) “return instruction”, the current guidance facility ID is read from the guidance facility storage unit 804 (S1802), and the guidance facility ID before the current guidance facility ID is read from the schedule storage unit 203. Read (S
1803). The read guidance facility ID is stored in the guidance facility storage unit 804 as a new guidance facility ID (S18).
04). In other words, the ID of the guidance facility that precedes the guidance facility
Perform processing to return to.

On the other hand, when the content of the instruction (S1801) is “advance instruction”, the current guidance facility ID is read from the guidance facility storage unit 804 (S1805), and the stop-by call corresponding to the current guidance facility ID is made. The situation is read from the stop-by situation storage unit 803 (S1806). When the read stop-by status is "while staying" (S1807), the stop-by status corresponding to the current guidance facility ID is updated to "leave" (S1808). If the read stop-by status is another status, the process of S1808 is not performed. Next, the current guidance facility ID from the schedule storage unit 203
The next guidance facility ID is read (S1809). The read guidance facility ID is stored in the guidance facility storage unit 804 as a new guidance facility ID (S1810). That is, the process of advancing the guidance facility to the ID of the guidance facility one after is performed.

Embodiment 2. In the first embodiment, an example in which the guidance facility is determined based on the user's distribution request has been described, but in the present embodiment, the scheduled stop-by time is registered in advance in the schedule, and the scheduled stop-by time is calculated based on the scheduled stop-by time. An example of determining the guidance facility will be described.

First, schedule registration will be described. FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a configuration of a facility information distribution server related to schedule registration by a map screen according to the second embodiment. As compared with FIG. 2, the scheduled stop-by time setting processing unit 1
901 has been added.

The operation will be described. FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a schedule registration process flow on the map screen according to the second embodiment. S2001 to S2009 are the same as S301 to S309 in FIG. The scheduled stop-by time setting processing unit 1901 receives the scheduled stop-by time (S2010), and stores the received scheduled stop-by time in the schedule storage unit 203 in association with the facility ID (S).
2011). In this way, the scheduled stop-by time is registered for each facility.

The same applies to the case of schedule registration using the facility list screen. The configuration and processing flow are shown in the figure. Figure 21
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a configuration of a facility information distribution server related to schedule registration by a facility list screen according to the second embodiment. FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a schedule registration processing flow by the facility list screen in the second embodiment. S22
01 to S2211 are the same as S701 to S711 of FIG. S2212 and S2213 are the same as S2010 and S2011 of FIG.

FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the schedule storage unit in the second embodiment. In this example, two times, the start time and the end time, are registered, but only one time may be registered as the scheduled stop-by time. In that case, it is conceivable to use one same time as the time corresponding to the start time and the end time in this example.
Also, the disclosure time is set by automatically subtracting the predetermined time from the one registered time, and the end time is set by automatically adding the predetermined time from the one registered time to set the stay time. It is also effective to carry out the processing that uniformly assumes.

Next, the distribution of facility information will be described. In this embodiment, the operation of the guidance facility determination unit 2401 is different. FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a configuration of a facility information distribution server related to distribution of facility information according to the second embodiment.
In this figure, the data flow of the guidance facility determining unit 2401 is different from that in FIG.

The operation will be described. FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a facility determination processing flow in the second embodiment. From the stop-off situation storage unit 803, the guidance facility determination unit 2401 sequentially proceeds from the facility ID of the departure to the facility ID of the end point of the facility I.
The stop-by situation corresponding to D is read and the following processing is performed (S2501).

In the case where the stop-by situation is "to leave" (S250
2), shift to the processing of the next facility ID.

When the stop-by status is "not reached" or "while staying", the planned stop-by time (start time, end time) corresponding to the facility ID is acquired (S2503) and compared with the current time (S2504). . The current time is, for example,
Can be obtained from an internal timer.

The current time is the scheduled stop-by time (starting time)
If it is earlier, the present time-the planned stop-by time (starting time) is calculated as the difference time (S2505). If the current time is within the scheduled stop-by time (from the start time to the end time), the difference time is set to 0 (S2506). If the current time is after the planned stop-by time (end time), the current time-the planned stop-by time (end time) is calculated as a difference time (S2507).

The difference time is temporarily stored in association with the facility ID (S2508). Then, this process is repeated up to the facility ID at the end point (S2509).

Then, the absolute values of the temporarily stored difference times are compared to determine the minimum difference time absolute value (S251).
0), the facility ID with the smallest absolute time difference is the initial facility ID
Is stored in the guidance facility storage unit (S2511).

If the difference time that has become the minimum difference time absolute value (S2512) is negative (before the scheduled stop-by time), all facility IDs before the facility ID having the minimum difference time absolute value are set. The corresponding stop-by situation is updated to "leave" (S2514), and the process ends. Therefore, even for a facility that remains “unreached” because the user arrived without requesting delivery to the facility information delivery server 1, it is automatically changed to “leave” if the scheduled stop-by time has passed. To be done.

On the other hand, if the difference time having the smallest absolute value of the difference time (S2512) is zero or positive (after the scheduled stop-by time), the stop-off corresponding to the facility ID having the minimum absolute value of the difference-time is found. The status is updated to "during stay" (S2513). This is because if it is moving as planned, it is assumed that it has already arrived. Then, the stop-by situations corresponding to all the facility IDs before the facility ID having the smallest absolute time difference are updated to "vacation" (S251).
4).

In the present embodiment, the facility having the smallest difference from the scheduled stop-by time is targeted for initial display. Therefore, even if the user does not request delivery of facility information for each facility, Based on this, appropriate facility information can be delivered. For example, the first facility (facility ID = F000
03 facility information is displayed and the first facility (facility ID)
= F00003) after visiting the second facility (Facility I)
Without displaying the facility information of D = F00005),
Visit the second facility (facility ID = F00005) as planned, before and after the planned stop-in time (2353, 2303 in FIG. 23) of the third facility (facility ID = F00010) (for example, 14:25). When the distribution is requested, the facility information of the third facility (facility ID = F00010) is automatically distributed.

Further, by transmitting the current position information at that time from the mobile phone terminal 3 to the facility information distribution server 1, the facility information distribution server 1 receives the current position information and receives the current time. From the current location information, calculate the difference with respect to the planned stop-by time, correct the planned stop-by time with respect to subsequent facilities based on the difference (decrease or advance), and determine the guidance facility based on the corrected planned stop-by time. That is also effective.

Third Embodiment In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the facility to be initially displayed is determined based on the location of the mobile terminal. The schedule registration is the same as in the first embodiment.

Regarding the distribution of the facility information, the operation of the guidance facility determining unit 2401 is different in the present embodiment. FIG. 26
[Fig. 8] is a diagram showing a configuration of a facility information distribution server relating to distribution of facility information in the third embodiment. In this figure, the data flow of the guidance facility determining unit 2401 is different from that in FIG.

The operation will be described. FIG. 27 is a diagram showing an initial guidance facility determination processing flow in the third embodiment. The guidance facility determination unit 2401 includes a stop-off situation storage unit 8
From 03, the stop-by status corresponding to the facility ID is sequentially read from the starting facility ID to the ending facility ID, and the following processing is performed (S2701).

If the stop-by situation is "leave" (S270)
2), shift to the processing of the next facility ID.

When the stop-by situation is "not reached" or "while staying", the location of the mobile terminal is acquired and the distance from each facility is calculated (S2703). Regarding the method of acquiring the location, if the mobile terminal is a mobile phone, the mobile phone network is inquired about the location and the location is acquired as a reply. Further, in the case of a terminal using GPS such as a car navigation system, it is possible to receive the location of the terminal itself.

When the calculated distance is within the predetermined distance (S2704), the facility ID of the facility is set to the initial facility I.
It is stored in the guidance facility storage unit as D (S270).
7). Further, the stop-by status corresponding to the facility ID of the facility is updated to "during stay" (S2715), and the facility ID is updated.
The stop-by status corresponding to all the facility IDs before is updated to "vacation" (S2716). S2704 is an example of determination as to whether or not the location of the mobile terminal is included in the predetermined range including the facility. That is, when it is determined within S2704 that the distance is within the predetermined distance, the location is included in the predetermined range. In addition, as an example of the predetermined range including the facility, the range of the administrative district including the facility and the user (or a telecommunications carrier such as a terminal telephone provider, a PHS provider, a facility information provider, a system builder, etc.) are preset. An arbitrary range (the shape may be any shape such as a rectangle or a polygon) may be considered.

If the calculated distance is larger than the predetermined distance for all facilities (S2705), the following processing is performed. This is a process assuming that the user is moving. The guidance facility determination unit 2401 includes a stop-off situation storage unit 80.
From 3, the following processing is performed on the facility IDs from the starting facility ID to the ending facility ID (S2706). The stop-over situation corresponding to the facility ID next to the facility ID to be processed is determined (S2708). The next facility ID
However, in the case of “moving away” or “while staying”, the processing target is advanced to the next. In the case of “not reached”, the processing is continued. This is handled because the user may be on the route between the facility to be processed and the next facility only when the next facility is “unreached”.

First, a vector between two points of the facility and the next facility is obtained (S2709). Next, the distance between the current position and the vector from the current position to the vector is obtained (S271).
0). Then, the current position vector distance is temporarily stored for each vector (S2711). If the next next facility exists (S2712), this process is repeated. By controlling in this way, processing can be performed for all routes.

The stored current position vector distances are compared to determine the shortest current position vector distance (S27).
13). As the initial facility ID, the facility ID of the facility that is the end point of the vector for the shortest current position vector distance,
The information is stored in the guidance facility storage unit (S2714). This is because it can be assumed that the user exists on the route indicated by the vector closest to the location. Furthermore, the stop-by situations corresponding to all the facility IDs before the facility ID of the facility which is the end point are updated to "leave" (S2716).

In this example, the description has been made on the assumption of the vector of the straight line connecting the facilities, but it may be a plurality of vectors that approximate the curve. For example, when the actual route information can be acquired, it is effective to set the vector based on the route information.

It is also conceivable that the user may use a plurality of mobile compatible terminals (for example, a mobile phone terminal and a car navigation terminal) together. In this case, the facility information distribution server authenticates the user from any mobile terminal, but with the user authentication, the common user I
It can be realized by generating D.
Specifically, a method of authenticating using a common user ID and password for access from any mobile compatible terminal, and a method of authenticating using a different user ID and password for each, and associating different user IDs with each other are used. Based on this, a method in which at least one user ID is converted into a predetermined common user ID and used is conceivable. In this case, information associating different user IDs can be set in advance. In this way, by operating using the common schedule storage unit, the common stop-by state storage unit, and the common guidance facility storage unit that are respectively associated with the common user ID, a plurality of movements can be performed. It is possible to use compatible terminals together.

The facility information extraction unit 80 includes the request regarding the display method in the distribution request received by the instruction receiving unit 801 in FIG.
It is also effective for the 5 and the facility information transmitting unit 807 to process according to the requested display method.
