Problems to be solved by the invention

However, the above-mentioned prior patents describe the user's preferred means of transportation and travel course, places visited by the user's past trips, companions, specific activities, companions when the user automatically creates a travel itinerary. I did not consider even the subjective feelings such as feelings I had at that time by going with.
For this reason, it is merely possible to create a travel route that is mechanically rational, and does not have a function for creating a travel route that suits individual tastes and characteristics.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and by using the subjective movement record of other users, by matching a user who has already moved with a user who will move, It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique capable of proposing a travel process suitable for a user's preference and purpose.

Means for solving the problem

The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above problems.
At least one user searches / registers a travel route table in which departure and arrival points, travel courses and required times are registered, and the one user or another user is individual for each travel travel table. Together with a database in which two or more intuitive tags for registering attributes or preferences of the user and a process table in which the central processing unit matches the search condition when a search instruction is issued from the user terminal of the one or another user , A travel process search display system for displaying the two or more intuitive tags on one screen.

  In the present invention, a travel process table as digital data created by another user in the past stored in a database, a place visited by another user stored as a travel process, a relationship of a partner who has visited together, one of them Refer to the activities performed at the point, subjective records of emotions, etc. generated by performing the activities, the travel process created by other users, or the evaluation that part of the travel process received from another user It is registered as an intuition tag, and it is possible to automatically create a travel process according to the user's preference and purpose.

  In the case of the conventional system, the main point is that the travel process is automatically created before the start of the movement, and the travel process suitable for the user's preference is automatically created appropriately during the movement of the user. However, in the present invention, the same method as described above is applied to a user who has not created a travel process at the start of movement, or a user who has manually created a travel process, or has automatically created a travel process. It is possible to recommend the recommended travel process automatically.

  Here, the significance of using the travel process created by other users will be explained. At the time of this patent application (2010), in a number of social networking services, the relationships between users are visualized by the system, on the web. Sociality that supports continuous communication is attracting attention, and a system that realizes it has been implemented. Therefore, supporting the automatic creation of a new travel process by using the travel process of another user is considered to enhance the affinity with the social networking service.

  In relation to the above, in a social networking service, a function in which a user arbitrarily records fragments of a past travel process on a database and shares the information with others is implemented as a check-in function.

  However, since the travel process enabling recording is limited to the process in a fragmentary manner, it is not supported to link travel information composed of a plurality of processes. Therefore, what can be shared with other users on social networking services should not be called travel, but should be called destination.

  Therefore, the present invention makes it possible for users to share the travel process, not the destination, on the social networking service by allowing the user's automatically created travel records to be permanently stored in the database. To do.

The invention's effect

  According to the present invention, in the travel process of other users to be used, in addition to a simple start position, an arrival position, a travel course, etc., for example, “a place to visit on the way”, “who to travel with”, “the purpose of travel” Because it has intuitive tags for registering subjective emotions when moving, such as `` Activity to become '' and `` Emotions that you want to get by performing activities at the destination '', the preference is similar or the same purpose Therefore, it is possible to create a satisfactory travel process that can be guaranteed by another user, and a travel process that matches the user's preference and purpose.

  The outline of the present invention will be described as follows. The automatic creation of a travel process according to the present invention provides a method for automatically creating a travel process for a user based on a product such as a travel agency realized by a conventional technique using a mobile phone or a computer system and a computer network. Instead of referring to the information recorded in the past travel process manually or automatically created by other users, the travel process on the server side is created, and the mobile phone or personal computer used by the user To display. The means for a concrete solution will be described from the next section.

First, before explaining the automatic creation system of the travel process, there are three preconditions for establishing the system.
The first point is a premise that travel processes created by other users are accumulated in the database. This is because a part of the travel process created in the past by another user who performs automatic creation is recombined and newly created as a travel process that meets the user's preference and purpose.
The travel process in the travel process of the present invention is a bookmark. In addition, one of the travel stroke fragments constituting the travel stroke is called a block. That is, a user creates a plurality of blocks having a plurality of formats and connects them with a footer and a header of each block.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bookmark is composed of information stored in four storage areas on the database. The bookmark ID storage area corresponding to the storage area 1 is an area for storing information indicating which user created the bookmark. Each user is assigned a user ID in advance, the number is stored, and the user who created it is authenticated. The bookmark title storage area corresponding to the storage area 2 is a name of the travel itinerary that can be arbitrarily stored by the user and is named for the entire travel itinerary. The storage area of the bookmark creator information corresponding to the storage area 3 is information indicating which user has created the bookmark. Each user is assigned a user ID, and the number is authenticated to determine which user has created it. The block information storage area corresponding to the storage area 4 is a combination of blocks that constitutes a bookmark. The ID is assigned to each block when the block is created, and the number is stored in the storage area 4.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the block is composed of information stored in five storage areas on the database. The storage area of the block ID corresponding to the storage area 5 is an area for storing information indicating which user created the block. Each user is assigned a user ID in advance, the number is stored, and the user who created it is authenticated. The block title storage area corresponding to the storage area 6 is the name of a travel itinerary that can be arbitrarily stored by the user, named after one travel itinerary. The storage area of the block creator information corresponding to the storage area 7 is information indicating which user created the block. Each user is assigned a user ID, and the number is authenticated to determine which user has created it. The storage area of various tags corresponding to the storage area 8 is a tag called an intuition tag, which is a selection system that can be registered by a user who can be registered in each block. The number of 1-click evaluations corresponding to the storage area 9 is a storage area in which the number of clicks made by other users who thought that the block was good in the past and was clicked by the user's intention is counted. The latitude / longitude values of the location points corresponding to the storage area 10 indicate a certain point on the earth that is arbitrarily registered by the user.

  Regarding intuition tags, for example, amusement facilities, restaurants, lodging facilities, or environments where users were in the process of moving, such as mountains, sea, and forests, activities such as sports, meals, bathing, etc. The user can manually add four pieces of information, emotions obtained by obtaining activities at the destination. Each is a subjective record of another user who can optionally register, named place tag, activity tag, who and doug, mood tag, showing what the travel journey fragment represents. Each of them inputs four types of intuition tags in the input fields 4 to 7 in FIG. Also, the four types of intuitive tag option data to be entered in the input field from FIG. 5 are stored in the storage area 4-1, storage area 4-2, storage area 4-3, and storage area 4-4, respectively. The stored contents are shared with the storage area 4.

The second point is the premise that the conditions for automatic creation of the travel process that the user imposes on the system side are entered by the user before the system of the present invention is operated. This assumption corresponds to input 1 in FIG.
The conditions for requesting input from the user are the input field 1-1, the input field 1-2, the input field 2, the input field 3, the input field 4, the input field 5, the input field 6, the input field 7 in FIG. Column 8.
In the input column 1-1, the destination or the current location that the user aims for moving is input. In the input column 1-2, the user's current location is automatically input using the GPS function of the terminal held by the user. The user selects which of the input column 1-1 and the input column 1-2 is to be input. You cannot select both.

In the input field 2, it is selected whether the user moves by car or by train.
In the input field 3, the time taken for the entire movement is input.
As described above, the input fields 4 to 7 are input fields for selecting four types of intuition tags, place tags, activity tags, who and dougs, and mood tags.
As described above, each intuition tag is registered in the storage areas 8-1 to 8-4.
The third point is that the travel process created by the other user is evaluated by another user with a single click, and the number of times the evaluation is received, that is, the number of evaluations is stored in the storage area 9 of FIG. It is a premise.

When the above three preconditions have been met, the automatic travel system creation system operates, and the output 1 to be output on the mobile phone or personal computer used by the user is finally obtained through the processes 1 to 4 in FIG. And the system ends.
Processing 1 will be described. Process 1 is a process for determining the first block constituting the travel process.
The first block uses information held in the input field 1-1 to the input field 7, queries the block database 1, searches for a block that satisfies the condition, and stores the search results in the storage areas 1 to 1 in FIG. 5 are registered in the new storage areas 1 to 5 in the new storage area 1 of the bookmark that is automatically created. The search method will be described from the next section.

First, when the place name information is stored in the input field 1-1, the same block name is stored in the storage area 6 of the block database 1 in FIG. Hold as. This is the first block selection method 1. No information is stored in the input field 1-1, and the latitude and longitude values automatically acquired by the user's GPS function are stored in the input field 1-2. If it is, the latitude and longitude values held in the storage area 10 of each block on the block database 1 are rearranged in the closest order using the latitude and longitude values held in the input field 1-2. This is the first block selection method 2.
In this rearrangement, the method shown in FIG. 9 is used. First, the sorting is completed from the latitude value held in the input field 1-2, and the absolute value is calculated by subtracting the latitude value of the first block arranged on the block database. Multiply the value by the distance per degree latitude and hold that value as ab1. Next, the absolute value is calculated by subtracting the longitude value stored in the input field 1-2 from the first longitude value on the block database, and multiplied by the distance per latitude. Is held as ab2. Add the squared value of ab1 and the squared value of ab2, and calculate the square root of the calculated value of the distance between the position information held in the input field 1-2 and the first block on the block database. Hold as value.

Similarly, the second and subsequent blocks rearranged on the block database are similarly calculated and stored as distance values with the position information held in the input field 1-2.
The first block candidates obtained by either the first block selection method 1 or the first block selection method 2 are next narrowed down by intuitive tags held in the storage areas 8-1 to 8-4.
Only the intuition tags held in the storage areas 8-1 to 8-4 are left out of the first block candidates, and are erased from the other first block candidates.
Of the first block candidates remaining by the method of the preceding paragraph, the block having the largest one-click evaluation number held in the storage area 9 is held as the first block, and the process 1 is terminated.

Next, processing 2 will be described. Process 2 is a process for determining the second and subsequent blocks. As shown in FIG. 10, the process 2 includes three steps of a use frequency block search process, a proximity block search process, and a next block determination process.
Among the other blocks used as bookmarks with the block held as the first block, 100 frequently used blocks are held, and as shown in FIG. 11, a high score is given from the most frequently used block. To go. As n increases, the score given in inverse proportion is lowered, and the score of each of 100 cases is stored in the score holding area 1.
As for how to rank the blocks stored in the block database, it searches using the block ID held in the storage area of FIG.

Next is the proximity block search process. In this processing, the method used in FIG. 9 is used to calculate the distance from the block held as the first block and the position information registered in the next block candidate. Based on the result obtained from the calculation, points are assigned in order from the block with the shortest distance.
The last is the next block determination process. The number of points given to the next block candidate 100 in the usage frequency block search process and the proximity block search process is totaled, and the next block candidate having the highest total score is set as the second block to be connected after the first block. . The block identified as the second block is stored in the new storage areas 1 to 5 for the second block as shown in FIG.

In the process 3, when the specific condition is satisfied, the process returns to the start of the process 2. In this case, the third block, the fourth, the fifth, the nth, , Identify the block. Similarly to the first and second blocks, the third and subsequent nth blocks are also stored in the new storage areas 1 to 5 for the nth block.
Next, processing 3 will be described. When the user moves according to the block connected by the processing 1 and the processing 2, the user confirms whether the movement can be completed without exceeding the required time input in the input field 3 by the user.
In the process 3, first, as shown in FIG. 14, the process branches depending on whether the user selects a car or a train in the input field 2.

When a car is selected in the input field 2, the time taken when actually moving between the position information registered in the blocks connected in the process 2 is calculated based on the average average speed when moving by car. .
When the train is selected in the input field 2, it is assumed that the user will move on foot after getting off the train, and the blocks connected in processing 2 based on the average average speed when moving on foot The time required for actually moving between the position information registered in the is calculated.
Next, it is determined whether the total movement time calculated based on the position information between the blocks does not exceed the required time. If not, the process returns to process 2 to continue the process of joining the next blocks. If so, the process proceeds to process 4.

Next, processing 4 will be described. In the process 4, as shown in FIG. 15, the blocks stored in the new storage area n on the block database by the processes 1 to 3 are stored in the new storage area 1 of the bookmark that is automatically created. The storage areas 1 to 4 of the new bookmark storage area 1 correspond to the storage areas 1 to 4 in FIG.
The process 4 ends by the process of the previous item, and the process proceeds to the output 1. Based on the interface suitable for the terminal used by the user, the output of the algorithm of the present invention ends.
In the bookmark title storage area corresponding to the storage area 2 of the new bookmark storage area 1, the user inputs an arbitrary character after the output 1 is completed. The entered characters are stored in the storage area 2.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used for a navigation system using a small portable terminal information device, a mobile phone, a mobile phone, etc., a sightseeing guide, and the like.
