A. Progress display system configuration:
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a progress status display system 10 as an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a progress status display system 10 of the present embodiment is brought into a moving means such as an automobile or a railway, and a mobile phone 100 that displays the progress status of these moving means to a destination; The server apparatus 200 performs processing such as route search in response to a request from the mobile phone 100. These devices constituting the progress display system 10 are connected to each other by a communication network NT including the Internet and a mobile phone network.

  The cellular phone 100 includes a GPS circuit 110, a wireless communication circuit 120, and a control microcomputer 130 including a CPU, RAM, ROM, and the like. The GPS circuit 110 receives radio waves from artificial satellites constituting a GPS (Global Positioning System) and sequentially measures the current position where the mobile phone 100 exists. The control microcomputer 130 receives route data representing a route from the server device 200 to the destination using the wireless communication circuit 120. Then, an image of the route represented by the route data is displayed on the monitor 140, and the current position measured by the GPS circuit 110 is superimposed on the route image and displayed. Of course, the mobile phone 100 includes circuits for performing voice calls and data communication in addition to these circuits.

The mobile phone 100 according to the present embodiment has a function of displaying a plurality of routes having different moving means on the monitor 140 so that they can be compared.
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which a plurality of routes are displayed on the monitor 140. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, a route that can be moved by a moving means that is actually used by a user (a car in the case of FIG. 2) and a moving means that is not actually used by the user (in the case of FIG. 2). Are displayed on the monitor 140 with routes that can be moved by public transport. In the following description, the former route is referred to as a main route, and the latter route is referred to as a sub route. In the progress status display system 10 of the present embodiment, a predetermined mark representing the current position measured by the GPS circuit 110 is displayed on the main route by the processing of the mobile phone 100 and the server device 200, and on the sub route, A predetermined mark indicating the current position (estimated position) estimated when the user is moving along the sub route is displayed. The processing content for realizing these functions will be described later.

  The server device 200 (see FIG. 1) includes a CPU 210, a RAM 220, a communication interface 230 that controls communication with the communication network NT, and a hard disk 240 that stores various control programs and databases. In the server device 200, the CPU 210 loads a predetermined control program stored in the hard disk 240 into the RAM 220 and executes it, whereby a search condition reception unit 212, a route search unit 214, a position estimation unit 216, and a statistical processing unit are illustrated. It functions as 218.

  The search condition receiving unit 212 receives an input from the mobile phone 100 as a route search condition such as a departure place, a waypoint, a destination, and a moving means (such as a car or public transportation) used by the user.

  The route search unit 214 refers to the road / route database 242 stored in the hard disk 240 and refers to the shortest route (if a transit point is specified) connecting the departure point and destination received by the search condition reception unit 212. Search for the shortest route via the waypoint. As a route search algorithm, for example, the Dijkstra method can be used.

  The road / route database 242 referred to by the route search unit 214 includes roads based on node data representing intersections, end points, inflection points, stations, stops, and the like, and link data representing roads, routes, lines, etc. connecting the node data. And data indicating the connection status of the route. In the link data, the type of moving means (for example, an automobile, a walk, a railroad, a route bus) that can pass through the road or route represented by the link data is associated as attribute information. The route search unit 214 can search for a route that can be moved by the moving means designated by the user by referring to the attribute information. In addition, when searching for a route for a car, the route search unit 214 of the present embodiment uses link data in which “car” and “walk” are associated as attribute information, and uses a route for public transportation. When searching, link data in which “railway”, “route bus”, and “walk” are associated with each other is used. The reason why “walking” link data is used for any of the moving means is that it may not be possible to move directly to the starting point or destination by a moving means other than walking.

  The position estimation unit 216 estimates the current position when it is assumed that the user is moving along the sub route (see FIG. 2). In the estimation process by the position estimation unit 216, position estimation is performed using various information provided from the timetable providing server 500, the delay information providing server 600, and the traffic jam information providing server 700 connected to the communication network NT. Do. For example, the timetable providing server 500 transmits timetable data indicating arrival and departure times of public transportation to the server device 200. From the delay information providing server, delay information data indicating a delay state of public transportation due to bad weather or an accident is transmitted. In addition, the traffic information providing server 700 transmits traffic information information indicating the traffic status of ordinary roads and highways. The timetable data and the delay information data are used for estimating the current position when moving by public transportation, and the traffic jam information data is used for estimating the current position when moving by automobile.

  The statistical processing unit 218 acquires the time (movement time) required for the user to move along the main route and information on the moving means used at that time from the mobile phone 100, and obtains statistics on the movement time. The statistical result is recorded in the statistical database 244 in the hard disk 240. The statistical processing unit 218 manages the positions of the departure place and the destination using a mesh.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the map is divided into mesh shapes. As shown in FIG. 3, the statistical processing unit 218 divides the map into a plurality of meshes of a predetermined area, and even if they are different starting points or destinations, Treat the origin or destination as the same point. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, all starting points indicated by stars are treated as the same starting point, and all destinations indicated by black circles are treated as the same destination.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a part of the statistical database 244 in which statistical results are recorded by the statistical processing unit 218. As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, statistical processing by the statistical processing unit 218 causes the statistical database 244 to store each combination of the starting point and the destination in order to move from the starting point to the destination. The average value of the travel time (average travel time) is recorded for each travel means (for example, a car or public transportation). In the present embodiment, the average travel time is recorded in the statistical database 244, but various statistical values such as the median travel time and the required time for each predetermined section that separates the departure place and the destination are recorded. May be.

B. Route search process:
FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a route search processing routine executed in the progress status display system 10 of this embodiment. In FIG. 5, the processing by the mobile phone 100 and the processing by the server device 200 are shown together. In this route search processing routine, first, the mobile phone 100 (more specifically, the control microcomputer 130 of the mobile phone 100; the same applies hereinafter) receives an input of a departure place and a destination from the user (step S100). At this time, the mobile phone 100 also accepts an input of a waypoint as necessary. If the departure place is the current position, the entry of the departure place can be omitted. When receiving these inputs, the mobile phone 100 transmits information representing the input departure and destination to the server device 200 (step S102).

  When the statistical processing unit 218 of the server device 200 receives information indicating the departure place and the destination from the mobile phone 100 (step S200), the statistical processing unit 218 refers to the statistical database 244 and moves from the departure place to the destination. Is searched for as the “recommended moving means” (step S202). Specifically, a combination of meshes including a starting point and a destination specified by the user is searched from the statistical database 244 (see FIG. 4), and the moving means having the shortest average moving time in the combination of meshes, Search as a recommended means of transportation. Thus, when the recommended moving means is searched from the statistics database 244, the statistical processing unit 218 of the server device 200 transmits information representing the searched recommended moving means to the mobile phone 100 (step S204).

  When the mobile phone 100 receives the information indicating the recommended moving means from the server device 200, the mobile phone 100 displays the received information on the recommended moving means on the monitor 140 and presents it to the user (step S104). FIG. 6 shows an example of a screen displayed on the monitor 140 at this time. For example, if the recommended moving means notified from the server device 200 is public transportation, as shown in FIG. 6, on the monitor 140, “from the designated departure point to the destination depends on public transportation. "Movement is recommended."

  At the same time as presenting the recommended moving means, the mobile phone 100 accepts selection of the moving means used by the user from the user as shown in FIG. 6 (step S106). When receiving the selection of the moving means, the cellular phone 100 transmits information representing the moving means that has received the selection to the server device 200 (step S108).

  When the search condition reception unit 212 of the server device 200 receives information representing the moving means selected by the user from the mobile phone 100 (step S206), the route search unit 214 of the server device 200 receives the departure received in step S200. The destination and the destination are connected, and the shortest route corresponding to the moving means received in step S206 (or a route passing through the route if a route is specified) is searched with reference to the road / route database 242. (Step S208). At this time, the route search unit 214 searches not only the route (main route) corresponding to the designated moving means but also the route (sub route) corresponding to other moving means. For example, even if a car is designated as a moving means by the user, a search is also made for a route by public transportation. However, depending on the moving means, since there is no road or route that can be moved by the moving means, it may not be possible to move from the designated departure point to the destination. In such a case, the route is not searched. When the route search from the designated departure point to the destination is completed, the route search unit 214 of the server device 200 transmits route data representing the searched route (main route and sub route) to the mobile phone 100 (step) S210).

  When receiving the route data from the server device 200 (step S110), the cellular phone 100 determines whether the received route data includes a sub route (step S112). When the sub route is included in the route data, the mobile phone 100 displays a predetermined message on the monitor 140 to inquire the user whether to compare and display the progress status when the sub route is moved. (Step S114). FIG. 7 shows an example in which a message “A route that can be moved to the destination by public transport has been found. Do you want to compare the progress?” Is displayed on the monitor 140 in this process. Yes. In this process, when instructed by the user to perform comparison display, the mobile phone 100 executes a progress comparison display process described later (step S116). On the other hand, when it is instructed not to perform comparison display or when it is determined in step S112 that the sub route is not included in the route data, the main route is displayed on the monitor 140, In addition, normal display processing (progress status normal display processing) for displaying the current position measured by the GPS circuit 110 in a superimposed manner is executed.

C. Progress comparison display processing:
Next, details of the progress comparison display process executed in step S116 of the above-described route search process routine will be described.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the progress comparison display process routine. When the progress status comparison display process is started, the mobile phone 100 first transmits the time at which the progress status comparison display process was started to the server device 200 (step S120). When the position estimation unit 216 of the server device 200 acquires the start time from the mobile phone 100 (step S220), it receives timetable information, delay information, and traffic jam information from an external server (step S222). Specifically, if the moving means corresponding to the sub route is public transportation, the time table information is acquired from the time table providing server 500 and the delay information is acquired from the delay information providing server 600. If the moving means corresponding to the sub route is an automobile, the traffic information is acquired from the traffic information providing server 700. Upon acquiring these pieces of information, the position estimating unit 216 of the server device 200 calculates an estimated position when it is assumed that the sub route is moving (step S224).

  In the estimation process in step S224, the means for moving along the sub route differs between public transportation and automobiles. If the moving means that moves along the sub route is an automobile, the elapsed time from the start of the progress comparison display process is obtained by subtracting the current time from the start time acquired in step S220. And the movement distance after a progress situation comparison display process is started is estimated by multiplying the elapsed time with the predetermined average speed of the car. When the movement distance is estimated, the estimated position is a position moved along the sub route from the starting point of the sub route by the movement distance. The average speed is varied according to the type of road (highway, general road, etc.) constituting the sub route. On the other hand, if the moving means for moving along the sub route is public transportation, the position on the sub route corresponding to the current time is obtained with reference to the timetable information acquired in step S222. Further, the position on the sub route obtained in this way is adjusted based on the delay information acquired in step S222. For example, if delay information with a delay time of 30 minutes is acquired, the position where the time 30 minutes before the current time is set as the departure time on the timetable becomes the current position. When the moving means is walking, the moving distance is obtained by multiplying the elapsed time by an average speed (for example, 4 km / hour).

  In step S224, when the estimated position on the sub route is obtained, the position estimating unit 216 of the server device 200 transmits the estimated position to the mobile phone 100 (step S226). When the mobile phone 100 receives the estimated position from the server device 200 (step S122), the mobile phone 100 measures the current position using its own GPS circuit 110 (step S124), and the current position thus measured and the estimated position received in step S122. The position is displayed on the monitor 140 so as to be comparable (step S126). At this time, when the measured current position is deviated from the main route, the mobile phone 100 corrects the current position to a position on the main route and displays it.

  FIG. 2 shows an example in which the current position and the estimated position are displayed so as to be comparable. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, an overall view of the main route and the sub route from the departure point to the destination is displayed on one screen, and a mark indicating the current position is displayed on the main route. A mark indicating the estimated position is displayed on the sub route. In this embodiment, an example in which only one sub route is searched is shown, but a plurality of sub routes may be searched. In this case, a plurality of sub-routes are displayed on the monitor 140, and the estimated position is calculated and displayed for each sub-route.

  The display method of the route to the monitor 140 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. For example, the entire view of the main route and the sub route may be scrolled instead of being displayed on one screen. The display area of the monitor 140 may be divided into upper and lower or left and right, and the main route and the current position, and the sub route and the estimated position may be displayed in the divided areas. Further, a screen displaying only the main route and the current position and a screen displaying only the sub route and the estimated position may be displayed so as to be switched by pressing a predetermined button.

  When the current position and the estimated position are displayed in step S126, the mobile phone 100 determines whether the user has arrived at the destination based on the current position measured in step S124 (step S128). If the destination has not been reached, the process returns to step S122. By doing so, the current position is measured while receiving the estimated position from the server device 200, and these are displayed on the monitor 140 in a comparable manner until the destination is reached. When the user arrives at the destination, the mobile phone 100 transmits the arrival time to the server device 200 (step S130), and ends the progress status comparison display process.

  When server 200 transmits the estimated position to mobile phone 100 in step S226, server device 200 determines whether an arrival time is received from mobile phone 100 (step S228). If the arrival time is not received, the server apparatus 200 returns the process to step S222. By doing so, the server device 200 obtains an estimated position on the sub route until the arrival time is received from the mobile phone 100, and transmits the estimated position to the mobile phone 100. When the arrival time is received from the mobile phone 100 in step S228, the statistical processing unit 218 of the server device 200 subtracts the start time received in step S220 from the received arrival time, so that the user has moved the main route. The travel time is calculated, and statistical processing is performed for the travel time (step S230).

  In the statistical processing in step S230, the statistical processing unit 218 refers to the statistical database 244 (FIG. 4), searches for a mesh combination corresponding to the departure point and destination acquired from the mobile phone 100, and about the entry. Calculate the average travel time. Then, the calculated average moving time is recorded for the designated moving means. The statistical database 244 generated in this way is used when searching for recommended moving means according to the departure place and the destination in the route search process described above. The statistical processing in step S230 may be performed by batch processing independently of the progress situation comparison display processing shown in FIG.

  The configuration and processing of the progress status display system 10 according to the present embodiment have been described above. According to the progress status display system 10 of the present embodiment, the current position on the main route and the estimated position on the sub route can be displayed on the monitor 140 of the mobile phone 100 in a comparable manner. For this reason, the user can easily compare the progress status when moving by the currently used moving means and when moving by other moving means. As a result, for example, if the estimated position on the sub route reaches the destination earlier than the current position on the main route, consider moving with another moving means when moving to the same destination next time. can do.

  Furthermore, in the progress status display system 10 of the present embodiment, the travel time statistics are obtained for each moving means for each combination of the departure place and the destination. Therefore, it is possible to present the user with a moving means that can move efficiently between the starting point and the destination specified by the user. In this embodiment, since the starting point and the destination are managed by the mesh, even if the starting point and the destination specified by the user are not so popular, significant statistical results (average travel time) Can be obtained.

D. Variations:
As mentioned above, although one Example of this invention was described, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to such an Example, but can take a various structure in the range which does not deviate from the meaning. For example, a function realized by software may be realized by hardware. Moreover, in the said Example, although the example of a motor vehicle, a railroad, and a walk was given as a moving means, a ship, an aircraft, a bicycle etc. may be contained in the moving means. In addition, the following modifications are possible.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to compare the progress of the main route and the progress of the sub route by displaying the current position on the main route and displaying the estimated position on the sub route. Displayed. However, the display example in which the progress status of the main route and the progress status of the sub route can be compared is not limited thereto.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another display example in which the progress status of the main route and the progress status of the sub route can be compared. In the example shown in FIG. 9, only the image of the main route is displayed on the monitor 140, and the image of the sub route is not displayed. However, the progress status of the main route and the sub route is displayed as character information in the lower right part of the screen. As shown in the figure, in the example shown in FIG. 9, the current travel distance, the expected arrival time, and the expected remaining time with respect to the distance of the entire route are displayed for the main route and the sub route, respectively. Further, when traffic congestion or delay occurs in the main route and the sub route, that effect is displayed. In addition, a “display” button is provided below these pieces of information, and by pressing these buttons, a route image to be displayed on the monitor 140 can be selected from the main route and the sub route. Can do. As described above, the progress status in the main route and the sub route can be expressed not only as an image but also by only character information.

  In the above embodiment, the server device 200 estimates the position on the sub route. However, the mobile phone 100 may estimate the position on the sub route. The mobile phone 100 acquires timetable information, delay information, and traffic jam information directly from the timetable providing server 500, the delay information providing server 600, and the traffic jam information providing server 700 via the communication network NT. The current position can be estimated.
