Description

  The present invention relates to a user guidance system, and more particularly to a user guidance system having a user guidance center device as a core.

  In recent years, as a system for reducing the load on a car driver, for example, by using a GPS (Global Positioning System) or receiving position information from an information service center by radio waves, A car navigation system that guides a vehicle to a destination by displaying the travel route and the current position on the screen of a display unit or informing the vehicle by a voice is widely used.

  Application of this navigation system for vehicles to pedestrians has also been attempted. For example, necessary map information is obtained from the center, the current position is displayed on the terminal based on the obtained information, and the information is updated. Has disclosed a navigation system in which the above is always performed accurately (see Patent Document 1). FIG. 8 is a schematic block diagram of this conventional navigation system. This conventional navigation system includes a terminal 510 and a center 520.

The conventional navigation system having such a configuration operates as follows. The terminal 510 transmits the current position measured by the GPS receiving unit 511 and the destination input from the input unit 512 to the center 520, and the center 520 optimizes from the current location to the destination based on the information received by the control unit 524. Since there are a number of division candidate points in the searched optimum route, the division point closest to the current location is first determined, map information up to the division point is extracted from the storage unit 522, and then the division is performed. Map information and the like up to the division candidate point ahead of the point are taken out from the storage unit 522 as preliminary information and added to the map information and the like ahead. Further, the division point is selected as a point from which the terminal 510 issues an update request, added to the map information, etc., and all of the information is transmitted to the terminal 510 side. At the same time, the information is displayed on the display unit 514. The user proceeds according to the display, and updates the information by operating the portable terminal at each division point to reach the destination.

The road information collection terminal 30 is installed in a place where the road can be seen, and the road image captured by the camera 32 is transmitted through the communication network 50. Via the user guidance center device 10. The camera 33 may be fixed, but the direction and zoom may be controlled by the camera control unit 32 from the user guidance center device 10 via the communication network 50.

  Next, the operation of the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the user guidance system according to the first embodiment of this invention.

  The operation of the user guidance system includes a road condition grasping step in steps S101 to S105, a charging / optimum route search guidance step in steps S201 to S209, an optimum route resetting step in steps S301 to S308, a step There is a road information collection terminal arrangement optimization step of S401 and step S402.

  In the road condition grasping step, the user guidance center device 10 stores the map information (step S101), and the road information collection terminal 30 transmits the acquired road information to the user guidance center device 20 (step S102). The guidance center device 10 analyzes road information and stores it in association with map information (step S103). The external information provider terminal 40 periodically transmits road traffic information (step S104), and the user guidance center device 10 analyzes the road traffic information and stores it in association with the map information (step S105), step S103. , S105 is repeated.

  In the charging / optimum route search guiding step, the user portable terminal 20 repeats the operation of analyzing the input GPS signal and calculating the current position (step S201), and the user portable terminal 20 receives the destination information input by the user. The physical condition that is an obstacle to walking is transmitted to the user guidance center device 20 as a guidance request together with the current position information acquired by GPS (step S202). The physical condition that obstructs walking is the condition of the body when using services such as using a wheelchair and avoiding stairs. The user guidance center device 10 transmits billing information by electronic money to the user portable terminal 20 (step S203), and the user portable terminal 20 withdraws the electronic money from the non-contact chip 243 and delivers it to the user guidance center device 10. (Step S204), the user guidance center apparatus 10 performs a deposit process (Step S205), analyzes the request content from the user portable terminal 20 (Step S206), and determines the optimum route based on the grasped road condition. (Step S207), and the optimum route map / guidance information of the determined optimum route is transmitted to the user portable terminal 20 by video, and if necessary, by voice (step S208). The guidance information is stored and displayed on the image display unit 251 or outputted as sound from the speaker 252 (step 209), the user is directed to the destination according to the optimal route maps and guidance information.

  In the optimum route resetting step, the user portable terminal 20 sets and stores the position confirmation time interval (step S301), waits for the confirmation time (step S302N), and when the confirmation time comes (step S302Y), the current movement position Information is transmitted to the user guidance center device 10 (step S303), the user guidance center device 10 determines the user movement position (step S304), and compares the optimum route with the current movement position of the user to obtain the optimum. When it is on the route, it waits for the next current position information (step S305Y). When it is deviated from the optimum route (step S305N), a new route is set (step S306), and the new route map / guidance information is used by the user. The information is transmitted to the portable terminal 20 (S307), and the user portable terminal 20 converts the stored optimum route map / guidance information to the new route map / guidance information. New to carry out the storage and display (S209). If the user portable terminal 20 has not arrived at the destination (step S308N), the process returns to step S302, and if it has arrived at the destination (step S308Y), the process is terminated.

  In the road information collection terminal arrangement optimizing step, the user guidance center device 10 statistically analyzes the guidance route from the user guidance history stored in the user guidance information storage unit 144 (step S401) to obtain the road information. An efficient arrangement change plan for the collection terminal 30 is created (step S402). The arrangement position of the road information collection terminal 30 is changed according to the proposed change.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a schematic block diagram of a user guidance system according to the second embodiment of this invention.

  In the present embodiment, as a means for accurately communicating the state of the body or the like that is an obstacle to the user's walking, a route that can be used by the user for walking such as walking sticks, strollers, wheelchairs, etc. The only difference from the first embodiment is that it has an auxiliary device information transmitting terminal 60 that stores device information such as the size of the device for determining the device and transmits the information. Since it is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  In the first embodiment, the user inputs the state of the body or the like that becomes an obstacle to walking when using services such as wheelchair use and stairway avoidance to the user portable terminal 20 at the time of guidance request. In the embodiment, each auxiliary device is provided with an auxiliary device information transmission terminal 60 in which information for restricting walking is recorded in advance so that the information can be transmitted to the user portable terminal 20.
