・ Function to monitor the passage of monitoring time,
-When the monitoring time has elapsed, a function to notify the getting-off station approach by a notification means such as a vibrator,
It has.

  The input unit 12 is input means such as a numeric keypad, function keys, and pointing device. The display unit 13 is a display device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), and the clock unit 14 generates time information, calendar information, and the like. The notification unit 15 is a vibrator that is a vibration type alarm device, a speaker that outputs a predetermined sound or sound, and the like.

  The storage unit 16 is a readable / writable storage device, and includes an entrance / exit station database 161 and a notification adjustment time / notification means database 162. As shown in FIG. 2 (a diagram showing an example of data stored in the admission station / disembarkation station database 161), the admission station / disembarkation station database 161 includes a notification object admission station, a notification object date, a notification object time zone, The getting-off station, the required time, etc. are registered in advance by the user in association with the entry station to be notified. Here, the notification target entrance station is a boarding station that is desired to be notified of getting off at the time of getting on the train. In addition, the getting-off station is registered for the purpose of confirmation in case the required time information corresponding to the entry station subject to notification is changed later, and is always registered if the user can remember it. There is no need. The notification target date and the notification target time zone are set in order to limit the day and time zone when the getting-off station approach notification is performed, and are, for example, commuting to work on weekdays, school time zone, and the like. The required time is the time from the time of passing through the automatic ticket gate 20 at the entrance station to the time of arrival at the getting-off station. For example, the time required for the train between the entrance station and the getting-off station is from the automatic ticket gate 20 at the entrance station. This is the time obtained by adding the travel time to the train platform and the train waiting time. In the notification adjustment time / notification means database 162, as shown in FIG. 3 (a diagram showing an example of data stored in the notification adjustment time / notification means database 162), the notification adjustment time and notification means of the arrival station arrival notification are stored. Registered in advance by the user. The notification adjustment time is the time to adjust the arrival station arrival notification time, whether to notify when the required time elapses, or several minutes before the required time elapses (for example, 1 minute before, 3 minutes before, 5 minutes before, etc. ) Is set in advance. The notification means is a method of notification of arrival at the getting-off station, for example, vibration by a vibration device (vibrator) of the mobile terminal 10 that is also used in the manner mode or the like, a predetermined sound or voice, a text notifying the approach to the getting-off station, A still image or the like is set in advance.

  The non-contact IC 17 is a non-contact IC card (or IC chip) that incorporates a proximity communication antenna, and is built in the mobile terminal 10. The non-contact IC 17 is a communication unit 173 that transmits and receives radio signals between a control unit 171 such as a CPU and a non-contact communication type automatic ticket gate 20 including an IC reader / writer via a proximity communication antenna 172. And a storage unit 174 capable of reading and writing. In this non-contact IC 17, commuter pass information is stored in the storage unit 174 and used in place of the commuter pass by the automatic ticket gate 20 at the station. The interface unit 18 between the portable terminal and the non-contact IC is an interface unit for connecting the non-contact IC 17 and the control unit 11.

  The automatic ticket gate 20 is installed in a station and has a function of transmitting and receiving information to and from the non-contact IC 17 of the mobile terminal 10 by non-contact communication (proximity communication) when a user enters and leaves. In addition, the automatic ticket gate 20 has a function of transmitting an entrance station name to the mobile terminal 10 when entering the ticket gate. Further, the automatic ticket gate 20 also checks the validity of the commuter pass information stored in the non-contact IC 17 of the mobile terminal 10 and controls the opening / closing of the entrance / exit gate, but these processes are not directly related to the present invention. Therefore, detailed description is omitted.

  Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the embodiment of the present invention.

  First, as advance preparations, the user sets the notification target entry station, the drop-off station, the required time, the notification target date, and the notification target time zone in the entry station / get-off station database 161, and the notification adjustment time / notification means database 162 in the notification adjustment time. And notification means are registered respectively. These registrations are performed by the user operating the input unit 12 to start the program of the control unit 11 and selecting the pre-registration menu of the entrance station / alighting station, and registration while interlocking with the display unit 13 is performed. It becomes possible. Since the present invention is intended for commuter pass users and the entrance station and the exit station are the same every day, registration only needs to be performed once.

  After the above pre-registration is completed, the user enters the station by holding the portable terminal 10 over the automatic ticket gate 20 of the station for commuting or attending school. At this time, the automatic ticket gate 20 transmits the entrance station name to the portable terminal 10 by non-contact communication. The automatic ticket gate 20 also checks the validity of the commuter pass information (valid period, section, etc.) stored in the portable terminal 10 and controls the opening / closing of the entrance / exit gate. These processes are directly related to the present invention. Since there is no relationship, detailed description is omitted (step A1 in FIG. 4). The non-contact IC 17 of the portable terminal 10 receives the name of the entrance station from the automatic ticket gate 20 and transfers it to the control unit 11 via the portable terminal / non-contact IC interface unit 18 (step A2).

  The control unit 11 searches whether the received entrance station name is registered in the entrance station / disembarkation station database 161 as the entry station to be notified. If not registered, the control unit 11 terminates the process, and if registered, the control unit 11 refers to the entry station / get-off station database 161, and the notification target date registered for the received entry station correspondence. (For example, weekdays). And the control part 11 discriminate | determines whether the day is a weekday from the calendar information of the clock part 14, and if it is a weekday, it will judge that it is a notification object day (step A3-> step A4). When it is not the notification target date, the control unit 11 ends the process, and when it is the notification target date, the control unit 11 next determines whether the current time is the notification target time zone. Specifically, the control unit 11 acquires the current time from the clock unit 14 and determines whether the acquired current time is in the notification target time zone registered in the entry station / disembarkation station database 161 corresponding to the entry station. (Step A4 → Step A5). If it is not the notification target time zone, the control unit 11 terminates the process, and if it is the notification target time zone, the control unit 11 determines the required time registered for the corresponding entrance station from the entrance station / disembarkation station database 161. (For example, 32 minutes) is acquired (step A5 → step A6).

  Next, the control unit 11 acquires a notification adjustment time (for example, 3 minutes before) registered in the notification adjustment time / notification means database 162 (step A7). And the control part 11 calculates monitoring time from the acquired required time and notification adjustment time. For example, if the required time is registered as 32 minutes and the notification adjustment time is 3 minutes before, the monitoring time = 32 minutes (required time) −3 minutes (notification adjustment time) = 29 minutes (step A8). Thereafter, the control unit 11 starts monitoring the elapsed time of the monitoring time with reference to the clock unit 14 (step A9).

  When 29 minutes of the monitoring time has elapsed (step A10), the control unit 11 acquires notification means (for example, vibrator, text) registered in the notification adjustment time / notification means database 162 (step A11). And the control part 11 notifies a user that it approached the alighting station by the notification means (for example, the vibration by the vibrator of the notification part 15, the notification content text display to the display part 13, etc.) acquired at step A11. Note that the notification content text or the like is stored in advance in a memory (not shown) (step A12).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, since all processing is performed only by the mobile terminal 10 except for the automatic ticket gate 20 that performs non-contact communication, an external device such as a server becomes unnecessary. An effect is obtained.

  Further, in this embodiment, since connection with a server or the like is unnecessary, connection with a mobile phone network, the Internet, or the like is also unnecessary, so that there is an effect that no communication fee is generated for the user.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, by registering in advance in the mobile terminal 10 the name of the entrance station that the commuter pass user always uses and the time required to get off the station, it is possible to get close to the departure station at the time of daily commuting or attending school. Enable notifications. In addition, since the user only has to input the name of the entrance station, the required time to the getting-off station, etc. once at the time of registration, there is no need to input every time the train is used, and the convenience is improved.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, since the portable terminal 10 receives an entrance station name from the automatic ticket gate 20 at the time of entrance to a ticket gate, the effect that the effort of the input by a user can be saved is acquired.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since it is possible to adjust the getting-off station approach notification time, by setting the notification time a few minutes before arrival at the getting-off station, the user can respond with ease when getting off. This makes it possible to prevent unexpected injuries and forgotten items.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, since the notification object date and the notification object time slot | zone can be set, the effect that the useless notification except at the time of commuting and attending school can be prevented is acquired. For example, by setting the notification target day on a weekday, it is possible to exclude the notification process from the usual entry station on Sundays.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  This embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in that the start time of monitoring the elapsed time of the monitoring time is changed. That is, in one embodiment, the monitoring time elapsed time monitoring is started immediately after the monitoring time is calculated, but in this embodiment, the user presses a predetermined key at the time of boarding the train at the entrance station. To start. In connection with this, the definition of the required time registered in the entrance station / alighting station database 161 is also different. In one embodiment, the required time is the time from arrival at the ticket gate at the entrance station to arrival at the exit station, and the train ride time between the entrance station and the exit station is from the automatic ticket gate 20 at the entrance station to the train platform. The travel time and train waiting time were added. However, in the present embodiment, the required time is the train ride time between the entrance station and the exit station. The configuration of this embodiment is the same as that of the embodiment of FIG.

  Next, the operation of another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of another embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 5, the operation of the present embodiment is different from the operation flowchart of the embodiment of FIG. 4 in that steps B1 and B2 are added. Following the operations of Step A1 to Step A8 in FIG. 4, when the user gets on the train at the entrance station, the user presses a predetermined key (for example, # key) of the input unit 12 of the mobile terminal 10 (FIG. 5). Step B1). When the control unit 11 detects that a predetermined key has been pressed (step B2), the control unit 11 refers to the clock unit 14 and starts monitoring elapsed time (step A9 in FIG. 4). Subsequent operations are the same as steps 10 to 12 in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the monitoring time is a time obtained by adding the notification adjustment time to the train boarding time between the entrance station and the getting-off station, and monitoring of the elapsed time of the monitoring time is started by pressing a predetermined key when boarding the train. As compared with the embodiment, an effect that notification can be performed in a more accurate time can be obtained.

  Next, application examples and modification examples of the present invention will be described.

  -In one embodiment mentioned above or other embodiment, when the entrance station which the portable terminal 10 received at the entrance of a ticket gate was registered as a notification entrance station, it was demonstrated that a getting-off station approach notification process was performed. The processing may be performed after obtaining the consent of the user. In this case, when the received entrance station is registered, the control unit 11 displays a selection screen as to whether or not to perform notification processing on the display unit 13, and whether or not to perform notification processing in response to the user's selection. To decide.

  In the above-described embodiment or other embodiments, the contactless IC 17 of the mobile terminal 10 is used as a commuter pass, and the notification target entrance station and the getting-off station are stations in the commuter pass section. I explained that the registration of the station is only required once. As an application example, normal ticket information and prepaid information may be stored in the non-contact IC 17 in place of the commuter pass information and may enter the automatic ticket gate 20. However, in this case, since the entrance station and the getting-off station are not always the same, it is necessary to register the data of the entry station to be notified to the entrance station / get-off station database 161 every time the train is used.

  In one embodiment or other embodiments described above, the notification target date and the notification target time zone are registered in advance and used to determine whether or not the notification target is used, but these registrations are stopped. You may do it. In this case, if the entrance station name received from the automatic ticket gate 20 is registered, it is unconditionally subject to notification, or the user is allowed to select whether to perform notification processing as described above. . Alternatively, only one of the notification target date and the notification target time zone may be registered.

  In one embodiment or other embodiments described above, the notification adjustment time is registered in advance and the notification timing is adjusted. However, the registration of the notification adjustment time may be stopped. In this case, notification is made when the required time elapses or the notification time is determined by the notification adjustment time fixed to the system.
