[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Passengers who use long-distance trains often board for a long time, and we consider whether that time can be used effectively. However, there are the following problems (improvements) based on the train use status and service status.
・ There are few recreational facilities on long-distance trains.
-Since the Internet connection is moving at high speed, the connection is unstable due to access from a mobile phone (interruption due to high-speed handoff, etc.), and the communication speed is slow.
[0009]
In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a system for providing network connection service and content in a long-distance train, and a method for providing network connection service and content in a long-distance train using the same. It is in.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The network connection service and the content providing system in the long-distance train according to the present invention include:
A corporate LAN of a railway company that connects the Internet, a customer database and a customer management terminal by a cable LAN, a passenger terminal, a wireless LAN access point, a RADIUS server, a DHCP server, a WEB server, a DNS server, A PROXY server, a train customer database, a train customer management terminal, a push-type information distribution server, a music image distribution server, a wireless transmission / reception device, and a media conversion device in a train connecting a cable LAN and a wireless LAN. A personal computer or a PAD, a wireless LAN interface with a personal computer or a PAD. HT A terminal having a function of a WWW browser application for viewing and reading an L document. A wireless LAN access point is a wireless LAN access point, and is a device for receiving a connection from a passenger terminal to a train network via a wireless LAN. In this case, authentication is performed in cooperation with a RADIUS server, and the RADIUS server is a device that performs user authentication when a passenger terminal connects via a wireless LAN access point,
The DHCP server is a device that automatically assigns an IP address to a passenger terminal after user authentication of the RADIUS server, and the WEB server stores HTML document and image information and requests the client software of the WEB browser from the passenger terminal. A device for transmitting information according to the information, providing a railway company's homepage, providing on-train sales services, sightseeing information, sales information of special products, and a program listing of audio images to the passenger terminal. A device that associates the above host name with the IP address, and is used when accessing the Web from the passenger terminal,
The PROXY server is a device installed at the border between the train network and the Internet, and has a cache function to temporarily store files once read in order to reduce the communication load on the external line. It is a device that manages customer data of members using the network connection service in the train. The customer database in the train stores customer data of members using the network connection service in the train, order management data at the time of sale, inventory of train sales. The customer data is the same as the customer data managed in the customer database, and the customer management terminal newly registers / registers the customer data of the member using the train network connection service. An information processing terminal to be changed / deleted / browsed. It is an information processing terminal that browses / registers / changes / deletes / manages information managed in the train customer database, allows new registration of train network connection service, and push-type information distribution server triggers location information or time The music image distribution server stores music images and registers the music images in response to a request from the client software of the passenger terminals. Is a device that selects a movie or music that the user wants to watch from the program being transmitted, and transmits music image data to the passenger terminal. The wireless transceiver is a device that connects to the train network and the Internet. (CDMA line, PDC line) or data communication using a satellite line.

The information on the receipt of the order for the passenger to be purchased and the delivery time are sent to the train customer database.The train customer database changes the customer data during order confirmation and delivery work, and the train customer The database reflects the updated status information of the order on the shop site of the web server, and the passenger terminal reads the order status from the shop site of the web server. Confirmation, delivery of goods to purchaser, payment based on the operation of the salesperson who received the payment, payment is entered into the train customer database from the train customer management terminal, and if the payment is postpay by credit card, the train Information may be transferred from the customer database to the customer database and billed at a later date.
[0014]
In addition, the passenger terminal accesses the WEB server, and the WEB server displays tourist information, information on special products, a screen for facility reservation, and a sales screen for special products on the passenger terminal. Information, and make reservations and purchases from the website screen of the WEB server in accordance with the instructions of passengers who wish to reserve facilities and purchase special products. The WEB server makes facility reservations and purchase requests for facility managers and special product sales. You may request it from the store.
[0015]
In addition, data of a pre-registered site may be transmitted from the push-type information distribution server to the passenger terminal using the position information and the time as a trigger, and the passenger terminal may receive the data and display the site on a WWW browser.
[0016]
Further, the passenger terminal accesses a music image distribution site registered in the WEB server, and the music image distribution site has a program table registered in advance, and the program selected by the WEB server to the music image distribution server. Music and images to the passenger terminal, and the requested music image distribution server distributes the music and images of the selected program to the passenger terminal. The usage fee may be managed and transferred from the train customer database to the customer database, and the user may be charged at a later date.
[0017]
In addition, it is possible to connect to the Internet from within a long-distance train via a wireless LAN, and when connecting to the Internet, both the provider contracted by the railway company and the provider contracted by passengers may be connectable.
[0018]
Therefore, by laying a wireless LAN on a long-distance train and installing various servers, it is possible to provide an Internet connection service to passengers who board for a long time and provide various contents from a WEB site in the train. The main contents are sales in trains, tourist information, sales of special products, and distribution of music images (movies and music).
