Thereafter, the statistical unit 243 creates list information for displaying a list of the provided information for each vehicle (for each vehicle ID) based on the acquired provided information stored in the server storage unit 23 (S215).
In step S214, the statistical unit 243 generates statistical information obtained by statistically providing the provided information under a predetermined condition. In the present embodiment, this statistical information is transmitted to the station server device 30 and transmitted to the terminal device 100 in the station, but is not limited thereto, and is transmitted to the terminal device 100 in the train 2. Also good. For example, statistical information of provided information provided in the vehicle B or the vehicle C may be transmitted to the terminal device 100 of the vehicle A.

The aggregation and statistical processing and the list information generation processing by the statistical unit 243 are performed every time the provision information is transmitted from the terminal device 100. Note that the processing may not be performed in other vehicles for which the provision information is not acquired. For example, when the provision information is acquired in the vehicles B and C, and the provision information is not acquired in the vehicle A, the statistical unit 243 performs aggregation and statistical processing, a list only for the provision information acquired in the vehicles B and C. Implement information generation processing.
Moreover, it implements also when one terminal device 100 in a vehicle cut | disconnects the communication session with the server apparatus 20 in a vehicle. In this case, as will be described in detail later, this is performed after the provision information deletion processing by the information deletion means 250. Even in this case, the processing may not be performed in a vehicle without the terminal device 100 that is disconnected.

Thereafter, the information transmitting unit 244 transmits the generated list information and each provided information from the in-vehicle access device 10 (S216). When the content is included as the provided information, the information transmission unit 244 transmits an introduction sentence recorded in the information content of the content as the information content to be transmitted.
In S216, it is not necessary to designate the terminal device 100 that transmits the list information or the provided information, and the information is transmitted from the in-vehicle access device 10 so that it can be received by an unspecified number of terminal devices 100. Thereby, in S113 and S213, the terminal device 100 in which the communication session with the in-vehicle server device 20 is established can receive the transmitted information.

  When receiving the information (list information, provided information) transmitted in S216 (S115), the terminal device 100 causes the information notification unit 173 to perform notification processing (S116). Specifically, the information notification unit 173 causes each display information included in the acquired list information to be displayed on the display 110. For example, when a playback device such as an earphone or a headphone is connected as the speaker device 120 to the terminal device 100, the information notification unit 173 reproduces audio information from these playback devices, and the list information is displayed. You may alert | report that it acquired.

Here, FIG. 7 shows an example of a provided information list display screen 500 displayed on the display 110 of the terminal device 100.
As illustrated in FIG. 7, the information notification unit 173 displays, for example, a route name or a destination of a train on which the user has boarded (from the vehicle ID included in the connection signal transmitted from the in-vehicle access device 10) on the list display screen 500. The boarding information 501 indicating, for example, the terminal number of the terminal station and the number of the boarding station is displayed on the top of the display 110, for example.
In addition, the information notification unit 173 causes the display 110 to display, for example, the top three of the provided information having many count results on the lower side of the boarding information 501 as the upper ranking information 502, for example.
Then, the information notification unit 173 displays the provided information list information 503 below the higher ranking information 502. Here, the list information 503 is rearranged for each information type of the provided information as described above, but other information such as application order, electronic book order, profile order, etc. can be obtained by operating the user's operation means. It is also possible to rearrange them in the order of arrangement based on the conditions.

  Further, the information notification unit 173 displays icons corresponding to each provided information as the higher ranking information 502 and the list information 503 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, icons I1, I2, and I3 are icons indicating examples of content. The icon I1 indicates a music file, the icon I2 indicates an application, and the icon I3 indicates an electronic book. Further, the icon I4 is an icon indicating a user profile, and is created for each provided profile, for example. Further, the icon I5 is an icon indicating a message transmitted from the terminal device 100 in the same vehicle. Detailed operations when these icons I1, I2, I3, I4, and I5 are selected by the user will be described later.

  In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which icons corresponding to each provided information are displayed as the upper ranking information 502 and the list information 503 as shown in FIG. 7, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the content name (application name, music song name, etc.) and the user profile (whether you are pregnant, going to hospital, psychosomatic information indicating feelings, anniversary, events, etc.) are listed in text. May be displayed.

[Processing when content is selected]
Next, processing when content is selected from the provided information displayed on the list display screen 500 as shown in FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing processing when content is selected by the user.
When the user operates the operation unit 130 on the list display screen 500 as shown in FIG. 7 and selects the icons I1, I2, and I3 indicating the contents, the information notification unit 173 displays the selected icons I1, I2, and I2, respectively. A content introduction screen 510 (see FIG. 9) corresponding to I3 is displayed (S121).

FIG. 9 is an example of a content introduction screen 510.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the information notification unit 173 displays an icon (I 1, I 2, I 3) corresponding to the content, its content name 511, and a content introduction 512 on the display 110. .
The information notification unit 173 also includes a temporary use icon 513 for temporarily using the content, a bookmark icon 514 for setting a link to the content providing server device that provides the content, and a purchase icon for purchasing the content. 515, a return icon 516 for returning to the list display screen 500, and the like are displayed.

  Thereafter, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not the temporary use icon 513 is selected by the operation of the operation unit 130 by the user (S122). If it is determined as “Yes” in S122, that is, if it is determined that the temporary use icon 513 is selected, the partial content request unit 175 generates a content request for requesting a part of the content, The content request generated together with the terminal ID is transmitted to the in-vehicle server device 20 (S123).

When the in-vehicle server device 20 receives the content request from the terminal device 100 by the content request acquisition unit 246 (S221), the content providing unit 247 transmits the content request to a part of the content recorded in the information content of the provided information. It is transmitted to the terminal device 100 (S222).
Further, after S222, the in-vehicle server device 20 reads a terminal ID (providing source terminal ID) that identifies the terminal device 100 that provided the content as the providing information from the providing information recorded in the server storage unit 23. Then, the in-vehicle server device 20 transmits the terminal ID that identifies the terminal device 100 that requested a part of the content and the providing source terminal ID for the content to the content providing server device 4 via the network 3 (S223). ).

On the other hand, when receiving a part of the content transmitted in S222 (S124), the information notifying unit 173 of the terminal device 100 reproduces a part of the received content (S125). FIG. 10 is an example of a screen when a part of an electronic book is reproduced as part of the content.
When a part of the electronic book is transmitted as a part of the content, the information notification unit 173 displays a temporary content use screen 520 that displays a predetermined page of the electronic book on the display 110 as shown in FIG. Is displayed. Here, an example is shown in which text is displayed on the display 110 as an example of the contents of the electronic book. However, for example, when a moving image file such as movie content is targeted, a part of the moving image is reproduced on the display 110. The sound may be reproduced from the speaker device 120. In addition, in the content of an application such as a game, an example of an application use screen (still image or moving image) may be displayed on the display 110, and some functions of the application or all functions of the application with a usage period (So-called trial version) may be provided. In addition, the audio content such as a music file may be transmitted from the in-vehicle server device 20 to the terminal device 100 in a state where the audio content cannot be stored in the terminal storage unit 140 and reproduced from the speaker device 120.

Then, when it is determined “No” in S122, or after S125 is executed, whether or not the purchase icon 515 shown in FIG. Determination is made (S126). If it is determined “No” in S126, the process waits without performing any particular process. That is, the content introduction screen 510 is continuously displayed in a state where the operation of the operation means 130 by the user can be accepted.
When it is determined “Yes” in S126, the content purchase unit 176 accesses the content providing server device 4 from the external communication unit 150 via the network 3 and transmits a purchase request for the content (S127). .

On the other hand, when the content providing server device 4 receives the terminal ID transmitted from the in-vehicle server device 20 in S223 (S41), the content providing server device 4 stores the terminal ID in a storage unit (not shown).
Furthermore, when the content providing server device 4 receives the content purchase request transmitted from the terminal device 100 in S127 (S42), the content providing server device 4 performs a purchase procedure process for the content. That is, when the content providing server device 4 charges the terminal device 100 that has transmitted the content purchase request and determines that remittance has been received from the terminal device 100 that has transmitted the content purchase request, the content providing server device 4 sends the content to the corresponding terminal device 100. Transmit (S43). Thereby, the terminal device 100 acquires content (S128).
On the other hand, the content providing server device 4 compares and determines the terminal ID of the terminal device 100 that has purchased the content and the terminal ID transmitted in S223 (S44). The terminal device 100 pays the referral reward.
Thereby, the terminal device 100 that has transmitted the content as the provision information to the in-vehicle server device 20 acquires the referral reward (S129).

[Pop-up display of specific profile]
Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, every time provided information is transmitted from the terminal device 100 in S114, the processes in S215 and S216 are performed, the list information is generated by the statistical unit 243, and the generated list information A call is made. At this time, in the terminal device 100, when a specific profile (specific profile) is included as the provision information, the information notification unit 173 pops up the profile on the display 110. Examples of such a specific profile include physical information such as “pregnant”, “during hospital visit”, “under medical treatment”, and the like. By notifying such physical information, for example, it is possible to cause a user who uses the in-train communication system 1 to take an action such as giving a handicapped seat to a user with a physical disability. Can be promoted, and convenience can be improved.
Note that the terminal device 100 may include a pop-up item adding unit that adds a specific profile to be pop-up displayed based on an operation of the user operation unit 130. In this case, when provided information requested by the user is provided to the in-vehicle server device 20, it can be notified by a pop-up display. For example, by registering a hobby or the like as a specific profile, a pop-up can be displayed when another person having the same hobby gets on.

As a specific processing method of the pop-up display as described above, the information notification unit 173 first determines whether or not the specific profile is included as the provision information received in S216. And if the information alerting | reporting means 173 determines with the specific profile being included, as shown in FIG. 10, the pop-up display part 521 will be displayed, and the content of the specific profile will be displayed in the pop-up display part 521.
In this example, the pop-up display unit 521 is displayed in the content temporary use screen as shown in FIG. 10, but the list display screen as shown in FIG. 7 and the introduction of content as shown in FIG. Even when the screen is displayed on the display 110, the pop-up display unit 521 is displayed in the same manner.

[Message transmission processing]
Next, a process for transmitting a message to a user of another terminal device 100 will be described.
In the present embodiment, when the provided information icon I4 indicating the profile or the icon I5 for displaying the message is selected from the list information as shown in FIG. 7, a message is transmitted to the profile. Is possible. Further, even when the pop-up display unit 521 as shown in FIG. 10 is selected by the user's operation unit 130, a message can be transmitted to the profile. In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which an evaluation message or the like can be transmitted to the content. In this case, if an introduction screen 510 as shown in FIG. 9 is provided with a message input field for transmitting a message and a message transmission icon. Good.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of message transmission processing.

When the provided information icon I4 indicating the profile, the icon I5 indicating the message transmitted from the other terminal device 100, or the pop-up display unit 521 is selected, the information notification unit 173 is as shown in FIG. A message transmission screen 530 is displayed (S131).
FIG. 12 is an example of the message transmission screen 530.
Specifically, the information notification unit 173 causes the display 110 to display a message transmission screen 530 having a message display unit 531, a message input field 532, a transmission icon 533, and a return icon 534, as shown in FIG.
The message display unit 531 is a display field for displaying a message transmitted to the in-vehicle server device 20. The message display unit 531 may display messages received in the past.
The message input field 532 is an input field for inputting a message.
The transmission icon 533 is an icon indicating that the message input in the message input field 532 is transmitted to the in-vehicle server device 20.
Similar to the return icon 516, the return icon 534 is an icon for returning to the list display screen 500.

In the message transmission screen 530 as shown in FIG. 12, when a message is input to the message input field 532 and the transmission icon 533 is selected by the input operation of the operation unit 130 by the user, the message transmission unit 174 is input. A message is transmitted to the in-vehicle server device 20 (S132).
And the server apparatus 20 in a vehicle will return a response with respect to the terminal device 100 which transmitted the message, if a message is received (S231). As a result, the transmitted message is displayed on the message display unit 531, and the user can confirm that the message has been received.
Thereafter, the in-vehicle server device 20 transmits the received message from the in-vehicle access device 10 (S232). That is, the message is transmitted to terminal device 100 in the same vehicle as terminal device 100 that transmitted the message.

And the terminal device 100 in a vehicle will display the message by the information alerting | reporting means 173, if a message is received (S133) (S134).
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen when a message is received.
When the information notification unit 173 receives the message in S133, as shown in FIG. 13, the information notification unit 173 displays the pop-up display unit 521 and displays the message therein. Accordingly, it is possible to appropriately display a message on the terminal device 100 on which the list display screen 500, the introduction screen 510, the content temporary use screen 520, and the message transmission screen 530 are displayed on the display 110.
Further, as described above, past messages may be displayed on the message display unit 531 of the message transmission screen 530. In this case, the message transmission screen 530 can be used as a simple bulletin board or the like.
Here, an example in which the message received by the pop-up display unit 521 is displayed in a pop-up manner is shown, but the message to be displayed in a pop-up may be set as appropriate based on the operation of the operation means 130 by the user. In this case, for example, it is possible to pop up only a message related to the provision information specified by the user.

[Disconnect]
Next, processing when the communication session between the terminal device 100 and the in-vehicle access device 10 is disconnected will be described.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing processing at the time of communication disconnection.
When the user carrying the terminal device 100 gets out of the vehicle, moves to another vehicle, or when the operation unit 130 performs an operation to disconnect communication with the in-vehicle server device 20, the terminal device 100 And the in-vehicle access device 10 are disconnected (S141, S241).
In such a case, the information notification unit 173 displays on the display 110 that the communication with the in-vehicle server device 20 has been disconnected, or reproduces the sound from the speaker device 120 by voice, thereby notifying that the communication has been disconnected. (S142).

On the other hand, when communication with the terminal device 100 is disconnected, the in-vehicle server device 20 specifies the terminal ID of the disconnected terminal device 100 (S242).
In other words, as described above, in this embodiment, the connection signal is transmitted from the in-vehicle access device 10 by the terminal specifying unit 241 at regular intervals, and the communication monitoring unit 249 can obtain a response signal to the connection signal. Determine whether or not. Then, when there is a terminal ID for which a response signal cannot be obtained among the terminal IDs recorded in the terminal area specifying information, the communication monitoring unit 249 determines that the terminal device 100 corresponding to the terminal ID is disconnected from the terminal. The device 100 is specified.
Note that the communication monitoring unit 249 may determine that the connection has been disconnected when the number of times that a response signal to the connection signal cannot be obtained continuously reaches a predetermined number (for example, 5 times). In this case, even if the communication is disconnected due to a temporary communication failure or the like, the communication monitoring unit 249 does not determine that the communication is disconnected because the communication is restored.

  In S141 and S241, when an operation to disconnect communication with the in-vehicle server device 20 is performed by a user's operation of the operating device 130, and a communication disconnection request is transmitted to the in-vehicle server device 20, communication monitoring means In response to the communication disconnection request, 249 transmits a response indicating that communication disconnection is permitted to the terminal device 100, and disconnects communication with the terminal device 100. In this case, in S242, the communication monitoring unit 249 can identify the terminal device 100 that has been disconnected by identifying the terminal ID that transmitted the communication disconnection request.

  Thereafter, the information deleting unit 250 searches the provided information stored in the server storage unit 23 for the provided information associated with the terminal ID of the terminal device 100 identified in S242, and the retrieved provided information, and The terminal area specifying information is deleted from the server storage unit 23 (S243). Therefore, for example, after the user gets out of the vehicle, the provided content and personal information such as the profile are deleted from the server storage unit 23.

[Operation in the station]
Next, connection between the terminal device 100 and the station server device 30 via the in-station access device 11 and communication processing after connection will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a connection process between the terminal device 100 and the station server device 30.
In order to connect the terminal device 100 and the station server device 30 via the in-station access device 11 so as to be communicable, first, an application for executing a connection with the information communication device is started in the terminal device 100. This application may be activated before the user carrying the terminal device 100 enters the station, or may be activated in the station.
Then, the terminal device 100 always drives the short-range communication unit 160 in a state where the application is activated, and sets the communication signal from the outside so that the short-range communication unit 160 can receive the communication signal.

Further, the station server device 30 transmits a connection signal from the access device 11 in the station, for example, at regular intervals (S351). Also in the station, a connection signal that is divided into a plurality of areas and includes different area identification information may be transmitted in each area. For example, a connection signal including different area identification information may be transmitted between the station platform of the upstream train and the station platform of the downstream train.
When the application for executing the connection with the information communication device is activated, the terminal device 100 receives the connection signal transmitted in S351 by the short-range communication unit 160 (S151). As a result, the terminal device 100 enters a communicable state permitting reception of information transmitted from the in-station access device 11.

Thereafter, the vehicle information acquisition means 341 of the station server device 30 acquires statistical information transmitted from the in-vehicle server device 20 via the network 3 (S352). This statistical information is information generated by the statistical unit 243 and transmitted to the station server device 30 by the statistical information transmission unit 248 in S215.
And the in-facility information transmission means 342 transmits the statistical information acquired by S352 to the terminal device 100 in a station from the in-station access apparatus 11 (S353).

  When receiving the statistical information transmitted in S353 (S152), the information notification unit 173 of the terminal device 100 notifies the statistical information using the display 110 and the speaker device 120 (S153).

Here, as described above, the statistical information is generated for each vehicle of the train 2 and is information obtained by statistically providing the provided information under a predetermined condition. Therefore, in the terminal device 100 in a station, it can alert | report what provision information is provided in which vehicle of the train which comes to a station next, for example by alerting | reporting statistical information. Further, as described above, in the in-station access device 11 of each platform, when different information is transmitted for each area, the statistical information transmitted from the train corresponding to each platform can be notified.
In addition, as the display of the statistical information by the information notification unit 173, for example, the information type of the content is displayed as a pie chart, a bar graph, or the like based on the number of the terminal devices 100 that provide the content as the provided information. Thereby, the user who confirmed the display 110 of the terminal device 100 can easily determine what kind of content is provided visually in which vehicle. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which can change the display method which displays statistical information, and the item used as a reference | standard of statistics by operation of the operation means 130 by a user.

[Effects of Embodiment]
As described above, the information communication device according to the present embodiment includes the in-vehicle access device 10 provided in the vehicle of the train 2 and the in-vehicle server device 20 that can communicate with the in-vehicle access device 10. Then, the provision information acquisition unit 242 of the in-vehicle server device 20 acquires the provision information permitted to be transmitted by the user in the terminal device 100 from the terminal device 100 via the in-vehicle access device 10, and acquires and provides the acquired provision information. The information is stored in the server storage unit 23 as information. Then, the information transmission unit 244 transmits the list information generated by the statistical unit 243 and the acquisition provision information stored in the server storage unit 23 from the in-vehicle access device 10 to the terminal device 100 in the train 2. In addition, when the communication monitoring unit 249 determines that the communication is disconnected, the information deletion unit 250 deletes the provision information provided from the terminal device 100 that has been disconnected from the server storage unit 23. The in-train communication system 1 according to this embodiment includes the information communication device as described above and the terminal device 100.

In such an in-train communication system 1, users who have the terminal device 100 that communicates with the in-vehicle server device 20 within a limited space in the train 2 and a limited time from the boarding station to the getting-off station provide information to each other. Can be shared and information can be exchanged. For example, when searching for information through the Internet or the like, the search is based on a keyword input by the user himself, and information in the user's own field of view is naturally acquired. On the other hand, the provision of information provided by other users as in the present embodiment enables the user to acquire new information with a new field of view. Further, provided information varies depending on the passenger layer on the train 2. For example, the information provided from the in-vehicle access device 10 differs depending on the time and time of boarding the train 2 such as commuting time, holidays, student's school, travel season, etc. You can get information provided. Therefore, by providing such a service, it is possible to increase the number of users of the train 2 in which the information communication device is introduced, and to activate the public transportation.
Moreover, in this embodiment, when the user who has the terminal device 100 gets off from the train 2, the information deletion means 250 deletes the provision information provided from the terminal device 100 from the server storage unit 23, so that the server storage unit No information including personal information or the like remains in 23, and problems such as information leakage can be prevented. In addition, since only information that the user has permitted to transmit is provided as provision information, it is possible to prevent unintended information from being transmitted.
Furthermore, new provision information is always provided by getting on and off of each user who carries the terminal device 100, and information exchange between users who have boarded the same vehicle can be promoted.

In this embodiment, each vehicle A, B, C of the train 2 is provided with an in-vehicle access device 10, and these in-vehicle access devices 10 communicate with the terminal device 100 with a different vehicle ID in each vehicle. The in-vehicle server device 20 specifies the in-vehicle access device 10 (vehicle ID) with which the terminal device 100 communicates by the terminal specifying unit 241, and the information transmitting unit 244 sends the provided information to the vehicle to which the provided information is provided. To send. That is, provided information is shared only between users in the same vehicle.
This makes it possible to share information in a more limited space. For example, when a profile such as physical information is displayed on the pop-up display unit 521 to notify a user in the vehicle, a noticeable effect cannot be obtained even if the user is notified to the user in another vehicle. On the other hand, in this embodiment in which the provision information for each vehicle is transmitted, when a user who uses physical information as the provision information gets on, the possibility of receiving attention from other users, transfer of seats, etc. is further increased. Can support a more comfortable ride.
Also, by moving the vehicle, it is possible to receive different provision information for each vehicle. Therefore, for example, during commuting hours, the user can find a new discovery and widen his field of view by getting on a vehicle different from the vehicle on which he / she usually rides. Thereby, the further increase of the user of the train 2 in which the information communication apparatus was introduced can be aimed at, and activation of public transportation can be aimed at.
Furthermore, in a train in an urban area, a train in which many vehicles are connected is operated. In this case, there is a case where there is too much provision information in the entire vehicle and the user cannot browse. On the other hand, by sharing a space in which information is shared for each predetermined area such as for each vehicle, it is possible to share information in an appropriate space.

In addition, the terminal specifying unit 241 generates terminal area specifying information in which the terminal ID of the terminal device 100 that can communicate with the in-vehicle access device 10 and the vehicle ID of the in-vehicle access device 10 are associated, and the information transmitting unit 244. Transmits the provision information and the list information to the terminal device 100 from the in-vehicle access device 10 of the predetermined vehicle ID based on the terminal area specifying information. Further, the communication monitoring unit 249 monitors the connection state between the terminal device 100 and the in-vehicle access device 10 based on the terminal area specifying information.
By performing information transmission based on such terminal area specifying information, it is possible to easily specify a specific terminal device 100 in the case of distributing a part of content. In addition, it becomes easy to monitor communication information, and when the communication with the terminal device 100 is disconnected, the terminal device 100 that has been disconnected immediately can be identified.

In this embodiment, the information communication apparatus which comprises the communication system 1 in a train is provided with the station access apparatus 11 provided in the station, and the station server apparatus 30 which transmits information from the station access apparatus 11. .
Thereby, the provision information obtained by the train 2 can be transmitted to the users in the station. Therefore, the user in the station can confirm before boarding whether there is provided information such as contents and profiles of interest in the train 2 to be next boarded, for example.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the statistical unit 243 of the in-vehicle server device 20 generates statistical information based on the acquired provided information, and the statistical information transmitting unit 248 transmits the generated statistical information to the station server device 30. . Then, the vehicle information acquisition unit 341 of the station server device 30 acquires the statistical information transmitted by the statistical information transmission unit 248, and the in-facility information transmission unit 342 transmits the acquired statistical information from the in-station access device 11. . At this time, in this embodiment, statistical information for each vehicle A, B, C is generated and transmitted to the station server device 30. Therefore, the user in the station can easily confirm what kind of provision information is collected in which vehicle. In this case, the user can move to a stop position of a vehicle with a lot of provided information of interest before boarding the train 2, and the convenience of the user can be further improved.

In the present embodiment, the terminal device 100 includes a message transmission unit 174 that transmits a message to the profile when the profile of another user is transmitted as the provision information.
