  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for providing information to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal 1 measures its own position and sets it as the mobile terminal current position (S51). The current position of the mobile terminal is, for example, 35 degrees 37 minutes 18.7 seconds north (N35 ° 37′18.7 ″), 139 degrees 41 minutes 55.3 seconds east longitude (E139 ° 41′55.3 ″), etc. expressed. The mobile terminal current position and destination (spot name may be added) are transmitted to the information server 4 (S52), taxi stand information (stop data 61), required time / fare (passenger transport data 51) request Is transmitted to the information server 4 (S52). If the mobile terminal 1 and the information server 4 are each configured to have a means for converting latitude / longitude and spot name, the convenience is further improved.

  When the information server 4 receives the mobile terminal current position and the destination from the mobile terminal 1, the information server 4 acquires one or more landing data 61 close to the mobile terminal current position from the landing DB 6 (S53). Next, one or a plurality of passenger transportation data 51 in which data corresponding to the received mobile terminal current position and destination exists is obtained from the performance DB 5 (S54). In S54, the information server 4 has one or more origins 51a that coincide with or are close to the received current position of the mobile terminal, and further have landings 51b that coincide with or are close to the received destination. Passenger transportation data 51 is acquired.

  Then, the acquired one or more landing data 61 and the acquired one or more passenger transportation data 51 are transmitted to the mobile terminal 1 (S55). If the destination is not in the landing 51b of the passenger transportation data 51, the taxi user is notified that there is no corresponding data and is transmitted with reference to the passenger transportation data 51 relating to the landing 51b around the designated destination. .

  The portable terminal 1 displays all or part of the landing data 61 and the passenger transport data 51 sent from the information server 4 on the screen of the portable terminal 1 (S56). Examples of displaying a part include the time required from the taxi stand to the destination, and the fare from the taxi stand to the destination.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for adding the result DB and updating the landing DB. The passenger transport data 51 is rewritten or added every time the taxi returns to the taxi stand, takes a taxi user, departs, and arrives at the destination.

  When the taxi returns to the taxi stand, the taxi driver uses the in-vehicle terminal 2 to transmit the number of people waiting at the taxi stand to the information server 4. When this operation is performed by the taxi driver, the in-vehicle terminal 2 measures its own position and transmits the measured self-position information to the information server 4 together with the number of people waiting at the taxi stand as the taxi position at the time of return. That is, the in-vehicle terminal 2 transmits return information (taxi ID, return taxi position, number of people waiting for taxi stand) to the information server 4 (S61).

  The information server 4 acquires the landing data 61 including the taxi landing position 61a corresponding to the transmitted taxi position at the time of return from the landing DB 6 (S62).

  The information server 4 rewrites the value obtained by adding 1 to the number of taxis 61d in the acquired landing data 61 (the number of taxis 61d) and the waiting number 61c in the landing data 61 to the waiting number of people in the taxi station that has been transmitted. The value (waiting number of persons 61c) is stored in the landing DB 6 (S63).

  The in-vehicle terminal 2 measures its own position at the time of departure from the taxi stand, and information on the departure from the taxi stand (taxi ID, taxi position at departure, departure date, departure time) It transmits to the server 4 (S64).

  The information server 4 acquires the landing data 61 including the taxi landing position 61a corresponding to the transmitted departure taxi position from the landing DB 6 (S65). The information server 4 stores the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the number of taxis 61d in the acquired landing data 61 (the number of taxis 61d) in the landing DB 6 (S66).

  The in-vehicle terminal 2 measures its own position when it arrives at the destination designated by the taxi user and sets it as the taxi position upon arrival, and provides arrival time information (taxi ID, taxi position upon arrival, arrival date, arrival time, fare). Then, it is transmitted to the information server 4 (S67). This arrival taxi position may be added with a spot name in addition to the latitude / longitude. The information server 4 has a spot name and latitude / longitude mutual conversion means.

  The information server 4 calculates the passenger transport data 51 from the departure time information from the taxi stand and the arrival time information at the destination where the taxi IDs match, and stores the passenger transportation data 51 in the result DB 5. Specifically, the departure 51a is calculated from the departure taxi position, the landing 51b is calculated from the arrival taxi position, and the date 51c is calculated from the departure date and arrival date. Further, the required time 51e is calculated from the difference between the arrival time and the departure time, the fare 51f is calculated from the fare, and stored in the result DB 5 (S68).

  As described above, only one taxi driver needs to operate as a means for notifying information for rewriting the landing data 61. However, the information on the landing data obtained by performing this operation is also useful for taxi drivers and is expected to be actively performed.

  Second Embodiment: The second embodiment is an invention that provides taxi boarding information (that is, boarding data 61) to a taxi. The configuration of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4.

  The in-vehicle terminal 2 has the same function as the portable terminal 1 shown in the configuration of the first embodiment, means for requesting the information server 4 to acquire information on the landing data 61 having a large number of waiting persons with respect to the number of taxis, Means for receiving the information of the received landing data 61 and means for displaying the information on the screen of the in-vehicle terminal 2 are provided.

  In addition to the functions shown in the configuration of the first embodiment, the information server 4 has a function of acquiring the landing data 61 corresponding to the request from the landing DB 6 and transmitting it to the in-vehicle terminal 2 in response to the above request of the in-vehicle terminal 2. Prepare.

  Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart for providing taxi boarding information (that is, boarding data 61) to the taxi.

  The in-vehicle terminal 2 measures its own position and sets it as the taxi current position. A request for landing data with a large number of people waiting for the number of taxis, the taxi ID, and the current taxi position are transmitted to the information server 4 (S71). The information server 4 acquires a plurality of landing data 61 close to the transmitted taxi current position (S72).

  The information server 4 calculates the ratio of the number of waiting people 61c to the number of taxis 61d (ratio = waiting number of people / number of taxis) for each landing data 61 (S73). A plurality of landing data 61 (addition ratio) having a large ratio are transmitted (S74). The in-vehicle terminal 2 displays the landing data 61 (addition ratio) with the ratio added (S75).

  Therefore, a taxi equipped with the in-vehicle terminal 2 can obtain the taxi boarding data 61 having a large number of waiting persons 61c from the information server 4 and display it. Therefore, since the taxi driver directs the taxi to a spot with a large ratio from this display, the taxi driver can be put on efficiently.
