  Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the embodiment of the present invention.

  With reference to FIG. 2, first, the passenger information acquisition means 21 makes a signal for making an inquiry to a user terminal in a vehicle (not shown) via the short-range communication unit 30 (hereinafter referred to as an inquiry signal). Is transmitted (step S101).

  This signal is a broadcast signal transmitted to all user terminals in the vehicle, and is transmitted only to the user terminal 90 in FIG. 2, but also transmitted to the user terminals of other passengers. .

  When the user terminal 90 can receive the inquiry signal transmitted in step S101, the information sharing unit 101 transmits the user information 2001 of the user terminal 90 (step S102).

  An example of the user information 2001 transmitted in step S102 is shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 4, user information 2001 includes a user (passenger) identification number, information indicating a boarding station, information indicating a disembarking station, information indicating a transfer station, and the like.

  The user information 2001 includes, for example, privacy setting information indicating that other users do not want to be referred to, and information indicating that priority seats are recommended (for example, when pregnant). May be included.

  When the user information 2001 is transmitted in step S102 and the vehicle device 10 has successfully received the user information, the passenger information control means 22 sends the user identification information of the user (passenger) and the usage to the server device 60. A person (passenger) transfer station and alighting station, information indicating the position of the user (hereinafter referred to as user position information), and vehicle identification information 2002 of the vehicle device 10 are transmitted (step S103).

In addition, the user (passenger) may set the information of a passenger's boarding station, transfer station, and alighting station in advance in the user terminal 90. Alternatively, the control unit of the user terminal 90 includes a communication unit, and the communication unit uses a commuter pass or a railroad card that includes a contactless IC card held by the user (passenger) ( You may make it acquire information (information of a boarding station, a transfer station, an alighting station), etc. which show a user's use area, etc. by communicating with what is charged beforehand. Further, it may be acquired from destination information included in a schedule registered in the storage unit of the user terminal 90. In addition, even if the IC card does not include information indicating the use section such as a commuter pass, for example, based on the history information of past boarding stations and alighting stations included in the IC card, Information may be estimated.
Here, for example, in the case of the user terminal 90, the user position information is transmitted when the short-range communication unit 30 receives the user information from the user terminal 90 in step S102. It is specified from the information indicating the direction and the information indicating the distance. These can be specified using the ZigBee technology.
An example of the vehicle identification information 2002 of the vehicle device 10 is shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 5, the vehicle identification information 2002 includes information indicating the vehicle in which the vehicle device 10 is installed, information indicating the route of the vehicle, and train information. , Y hand line, No. 123 third car information.

In step S103, when the user identification information is transmitted and the server device 60 is successfully received, the passenger information control means 71 records the received information in the passenger information database 2003 stored in the storage unit 140 (step S103). S104).
When the above process ends, the process returns to step S101 again, and the process up to step S104 is repeated. Through the processing described above, the position information for each user (passenger) and the information on the getting-off station are recorded in the passenger information database 2003 of the server device 60.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the operation until the passenger information is displayed on the display unit 110 of the user terminal 90 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation.

  Referring to FIG. 3, first, the information sharing unit 101 transmits a passenger information display request to the server device 60 by the operation of the use terminal 90 by the user (step S <b> 201). At this time, the information sharing unit 101 also transmits the user identification information of the user included in the user information 2001.

  When the display request and the user identification information are transmitted in step S201, the passenger information control means 71 refers to the passenger information database 2003 based on the user identification information, and acquires information indicating the user's exit station. (Step S202).

If the example of the user information 2001 shown in FIG. 4 is described as being recorded in the passenger information database 2003, the passenger use section with the user identification information 0001 is a section from Yamada Station to Tamachi Station.
The boarding station and the getting-off station can be specified based on the user identification information with reference to the passenger database 2003. In the passenger database 2003, vehicle identification information 2002 corresponding to a passenger whose user identification information is 0001, which identifies a vehicle on which the passenger is on, is recorded. By referring to the vehicle identification information 2002, it is possible to identify the vehicle on which the passenger is riding, so it is possible to identify which train on which route the passenger is riding, and the direction of the train on which the passenger is riding (up, The boarding station and the getting-off station can also be identified from the information on either the going down) In this way, the getting-off station is specified based on the user identification information.
Some passengers get off at the transfer station. In this case, with reference to the route data 2004 recorded in the storage unit 40, the getting-off station can be acquired from the vehicle identification information 2002 that is recorded in the passenger database 2003 and indicates the vehicle on which the passenger is boarding. Refer to whether the station is on the route. If there is no disembarking station on the route, it is determined that the disembarking station is disembarking at the transfer station, and the transfer station may be set as an intermediate disembarking station.

  In step S202, when the passenger disembarkation station (or intermediate disembarkation station) of the passenger whose user identification information is 0001 is identified, the passenger information control means 71 obtains information identifying the vehicle on which the passenger is on the passenger database 2003. Is obtained with reference to the vehicle identification information 2002 recorded in (S203).

  In step S203, when the information for identifying the vehicle on which the passenger whose user identification information is 0001 is obtained is acquired, the user information of all passengers who are on the same vehicle as the vehicle identification information 2002 is obtained from the passenger database. Extracted from 2003 (step S204).

  When the user information of passengers who are on the same vehicle is extracted in step S204, with reference to the route data 2004 for all the extracted passengers, the exit station (or intermediate) of the passenger whose user identification information is 0001 It is determined whether or not to get off before the station (step S205).

In step S205, after determining whether or not all passengers get off before, the passenger information control means 71 creates determination information 2005 reflecting the result for each passenger (step S206). An example of the determination information 2005 is shown in FIG.
When the determination information 2005 is created in step S206, the display screen generation unit 72 creates a screen to be displayed on the display unit 110 of the user terminal 90 (step S207).
A specific operation in step S207 will be described. First, a vehicle apparatus is specified from the vehicle identification information 2002 of a vehicle on which a passenger with user identification information 0001 is boarded (in the embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle apparatus 10 will be described). Layout information 2006 is stored in the storage unit 50 of the vehicle device 10 (the layout information of each vehicle device may be stored in the storage unit 140 of the server device 60). The layout information is information representing the position of the vehicle seat and the entrance, and an example of the layout information 2006 is shown in FIG.
Next, since the position information (corresponding to the user position information) indicating the position of the passenger whose user identification information is 0001 is transmitted to the layout information 2006 to the passenger database 2003 during the process of step S103, Based on this, the data is plotted on the layout information 2006. This process is also performed for other passengers on the vehicle on which the passenger whose user identification information is 0001 rides, and all the passengers are plotted. An example of the result of plotting all passengers is shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 8, it can be seen that the passenger seated in the seat and the passenger standing are also plotted in the same manner.
Further, as determined in the process of step S205, among passengers other than passengers whose user identification information is 0001, for passengers other than passengers who get off before the passenger exit station (or the intermediate exit station) whose user identification information is 0001 For example, it is displayed in black. That is, the passenger displayed in black is a passenger who gets off after the passenger whose user identification information is 0001.
Further, as a different display method, each passenger is referred to based on information indicating the position where the vehicle is currently traveling (information indicating a section between the station and the station) with reference to the route data 2004. Determine the time to get to the station, and change the display color according to the time to get off, such as red for passengers who get off within 5 minutes from the present, blue for passengers who get off within 10 minutes from the present (A specific example is shown in FIG. 9). Alternatively, an operation button (not shown) of the user terminal 90 is operated to highlight a passenger getting off at the next stop station, and further operating the operation button, a passenger getting off at the next next stop station is displayed. A display such as a highlight display may be performed.
In addition, as a different display method, when information about passengers who have set private and the information on the getting-off station cannot be detected, a display such as displaying in gray may be performed. Or you may make it also display that a passenger with a priority seat recommended is displayed in yellow. By doing so, it can be easily determined that the passenger sitting in the priority seat in the vehicle has a passenger who must give up the priority seat in the vicinity.
In this way, when a screen is created in step S207, the display screen generating means 72 causes the user terminal via the network 1000 to display the generated screen on the display unit 110 of the user terminal 90. 90 is transmitted via the communication unit 80 (step S208).
When the screen created in step S208 is transmitted and the screen is successfully received via the communication unit 120, the display control unit 102 displays the received screen on the display unit 110 (step S209).
Through the processing as described above, a user who is a passenger can intuitively confirm whether or not a passenger who is on the same vehicle gets off before himself / herself on the user terminal.
In addition, for example, a user before boarding searches for a vehicle he / she wants to board from the user terminal 90 based on the vehicle identification information, and the current congestion status of the vehicle of the vehicle identification information retrieved on the display unit 110 It is also possible to confirm this by using this system.
Furthermore, by specifying user identification information between specific users, passengers with the specified user identification information can search for which position of which vehicle, so in the train This system can also be used for waiting.
