When performing a search, the user operates the client terminal 12 to input search conditions in the input area of the web page displayed on the display unit, and instructs the execution of the search. When the client terminal 12 is instructed to execute the search, the client terminal 12 transmits the search condition input in the input area of the web page to the server device 10.

  When instructed to execute the search, the server device 10 specifies a route from the departure place specified as the search condition to the destination, and if the route includes a route portion of on-demand traffic, reservation of the on-demand traffic service is performed. The system 11 is inquired, and the route from the destination to the destination and the departure or arrival time are transmitted to the client terminal 12 as a search result and presented to the user.

[1-2. Server device configuration]
Next, the server device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the server apparatus according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the server device 10 includes a communication I / F (interface) unit 20, a storage unit 21, and a control unit 22.

  The communication I / F unit 20 is an interface such as a NIC (Network Interface Card). The communication I / F unit 20 transmits and receives various data to and from other devices via the network 13. Other devices such as the reservation system 11 and the client terminal 12 are communicably connected to the network 13.

  The communication I / F unit 20 receives a search request for transfer by specifying a search condition from the client terminal 12 via the network 13, and transmits the search result to the client terminal 12. In addition, the communication I / F unit 20 transmits and receives various data related to the reservation of the on-demand transportation service to and from the reservation system 11 via the network 13.

  The storage unit 21 is a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk. The storage unit 21 is not limited to the above-mentioned types of storage devices, and may be a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a flash memory.

  The storage unit 21 stores an OS (Operating System) executed by the control unit 22 and various programs used for searching for a transfer route. Furthermore, the storage unit 21 stores various data used in programs executed by the control unit 22. For example, the storage unit 21 stores timetable information 30 and on-demand traffic information 31.

  The timetable information 30 is data in which a timetable of general traffic, which is a public transportation system that operates regularly according to a set operation plan, such as a railway, a bus, and an airline, is stored. The timetable information 30 is registered in advance by an administrator or the like, and is used when a general search unit 41 (to be described later) searches for a transfer route and time of general traffic.

  The on-demand traffic information 31 is data that stores, for each on-demand traffic, an operation range of the on-demand traffic and a boarding / alighting point where general traffic and on-demand traffic can be changed. The on-demand traffic information 31 is registered in advance by an administrator or the like, and used when the search unit 42 decomposes a search target route into a general traffic route portion and an on-demand traffic route portion.

  The control unit 22 has an internal memory for storing programs defining various processing procedures and control data, and executes various processes using these. The control unit 22 is realized, for example, by executing a program stored in an internal storage device (not shown) using a RAM as a work area by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or the like. The control unit 22 may be realized by an integrated circuit such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

  The control unit 22 functions as various processing units by operating various programs. For example, the control unit 22 includes a search request receiving unit 40, a general search unit 41, a decomposition unit 42, a first acquisition unit 43, a second acquisition unit 44, a search unit 45, a transmission unit 46, a route, A designation receiving unit 47 and a reservation unit 48 are provided.

  The search request receiving unit 40 receives various instructions from the client terminal 12. For example, the search request receiving unit 40 receives a transfer search request from the client terminal 12. The search request receiving unit 40 displays a predetermined transfer search web page on the client terminal 12, for example, and searches for a departure place, a destination, and a departure date / time or arrival date / time by an input area provided on the web page. When an input of conditions is accepted and a search is instructed to the web page, a search request for transfer under the search conditions input in the input area is accepted.

  The general search unit 41 corresponds to the above-described existing transfer search system, and searches for transfer of general traffic. This general traffic transfer search method may be any method as long as transfer search is possible, and an external transfer route search engine may be used. The general search unit 41 determines whether or not any of the starting point and destination of the search condition received by the search request receiving unit 40 satisfies a predetermined condition as a travel point by on-demand traffic. The predetermined condition is, for example, whether the distance from the nearest general traffic getting-on / off point is equal to or greater than a predetermined allowable value. When both the departure point and the destination are not travel points due to on-demand traffic, the general search unit 41 is based on the timetable information 30 and starts from the departure point to the destination at the departure date and time or arrival date and time specified in the search condition. A transfer route by traffic is searched, and the search result is transmitted to the client terminal 12. That is, when both the starting point and the destination of the search condition are general traffic getting-on / off points, the general search unit 41 searches for a transfer route and responds to the client terminal 12. On the other hand, the general search unit 41 outputs the search condition to the decomposing unit 42 and specifies the route when at least one of the starting point and the destination of the search condition received by the search request receiving unit 40 is not a general traffic getting-on / off point. Request.

  The disassembling unit 42 specifies a route from the starting point specified by the search condition to the destination. For example, when either the departure point or the destination is a travel point for on-demand traffic, the disassembling unit 42 identifies a boarding / exiting point for general traffic within the operation range of the on-demand traffic based on the on-demand traffic information 31. Then, the route from the starting point to the destination is obtained using each specified getting-on / off point as a relay point. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of how to obtain a route. The example of FIG. 3 shows a case where the destination 61 is a moving point by on-demand traffic, and a railway 62 and a route bus 63 are operating around the destination 61. In this case, the disassembling unit 42 identifies boarding points T1, T2, and T3 of the railway 62 and the route bus 63 from the on-demand traffic operation range 64 based on the on-demand traffic information 31. And the decomposition | disassembly part 42 calculates | requires the path | route from the departure place 60 to the destination 62 by using the boarding / alighting points T1, T2, and T3, respectively. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a route. The example in FIG. 4 shows an example in which the route from the departure point to the destination in FIG. 3 is obtained. In the example of FIG. 4, a route 1 that relays the getting-on / off point T1, a route 2 that relays the getting-on / off point T2, and a route 3 that relays the getting-on / off points T2, T3 are shown. The decomposition unit 42 decomposes each identified route into a route portion for general traffic and a route portion for on-demand traffic. For example, in the case of FIG. 4, the disassembling unit 42 disassembles into a general traffic route portion 65 and an on-demand traffic route portion 66.

  The first acquisition unit 43 uses the general search unit 41 to search for a transfer of a route portion of general traffic. For example, the first acquisition unit 43 requests the general search unit 41 to search for a transfer by designating a departure point, a destination, and a departure date / time or arrival date / time of a general traffic route part. Get transfer search results for the part.

  The second acquisition unit 44 uses the reservation system 11 to search for a transfer of a route portion of on-demand traffic. For example, the second acquisition unit 44 makes a reservation by specifying the departure point, the destination, and the departure date / time or arrival date / time of the route portion of the on-demand traffic to the reservation system 11 via the communication I / F unit 20. Sends situational inquiries and obtains operation information for on-demand traffic routes.

  The search unit 45 controls the first acquisition unit 43 for the route portion of the general traffic and controls the second acquisition unit 44 for the route portion of the on-demand traffic. Search for traffic route parts and on-demand traffic route parts. For example, when a departure date and time is designated as a search condition, the search unit 45 assumes that the departure point is departed from the departure date and time. For the route portion of on-demand traffic, the transfer of the subsequent route portion is searched according to the arrival date and time of the previous route portion. In addition, when an arrival date and time is designated as a search condition, the search unit 45 assumes that the destination arrives before the arrival date and time, and for each route, in order from the route portion away from the departure location, Search for the transfer of the previous route part according to the departure date and time. In addition, when the reservation unit 11 obtains a plurality of responses at times that can be reserved for the route portion of the on-demand traffic, the search unit 45 searches for a route according to each response.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a search order of transfer between a route portion of general traffic and a route portion of on-demand traffic. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, when the route from the departure place to the destination is in order of the route portion A of on-demand traffic and the route portion B of general traffic, and the departure date and time is designated as a search condition, the search unit 45 is a time when the departure part is departed at the departure date and time, a searchable time for the route part A of the on-demand traffic is searched, and a time obtained by adding a predetermined transfer time to the arrival time of the route part A is generally used as the departure time. The transfer of the route part B of the traffic is searched. In addition, when the route from the departure point to the destination is the route part A of on-demand traffic and the route part B of general traffic, and the arrival date / time is specified as a search condition, the search unit 45 A search is made for a transfer of route part B of general traffic as arriving at the destination, and a time that can be reserved for route part A of on-demand traffic with a time before a predetermined transfer time as the arrival time from the departure time of route part B Search for.

  Further, for example, when the route from the departure point to the destination is in the order of the route part B for general traffic and the route part A for on-demand traffic, and the departure date / time is designated as a search condition, the search unit 45 It is possible to make a reservation for the route part A of on-demand traffic by searching for the transfer of the route part B of general traffic and adding a predetermined transfer time to the arrival time of the route part B as the departure time. Search for a specific time. In addition, when the route from the departure point to the destination is in the order of the route part B for general traffic and the route part A for on-demand traffic, and the arrival date / time is designated as a search condition, the search unit 45 Assuming arrival at the destination, a search is made for a reservable time of the route part A of on-demand traffic, and the transfer of the route part B of the general traffic is made with the arrival time as a time before a predetermined transfer time from the departure time of the route part A Search for.

  Also, for example, when the route from the departure point to the destination is in order of the route part A1 for on-demand traffic, the route part B for general traffic, and the route part A2 for on-demand traffic, and the departure date is specified as a search condition The search unit 45 searches for a reservable time for the route part A1 of the on-demand traffic, and departs the time obtained by adding a predetermined transfer time to the arrival time of the route part A1, assuming that the departure point departs at the departure date and time. The transfer of the route portion B of the general traffic is searched as the time, and the reservation time of the route portion A2 of the on-demand traffic is searched using the time obtained by adding a predetermined transfer time to the arrival time of the route portion B as the departure time. The route from the departure point to the destination is in the order of the route part A1 for on-demand traffic, the route part B for general traffic, and the route part A2 for on-demand traffic. When the arrival date / time is designated, the search unit 45 searches for a reservable time for the route part A2 of the on-demand traffic, assuming that it arrives at the destination before the arrival date / time, and determines a predetermined time from the departure time of the route part A2. The transfer of the route portion B of the general traffic is searched using the time before the transfer time as the arrival time, and the route portion A1 of the on-demand traffic can be reserved using the time before the predetermined transfer time as the arrival time from the departure time of the route portion B Search for time.

  Then, the search unit 45 searches for a transfer for each route based on the transfer search result acquired by the first acquisition unit 43 and the operation information acquired by the second acquisition unit 44 for each route. For example, for each route, the search unit 45 generates, as a transfer search result, route data obtained by merging the searched transfer times and reservation times in order from the route portion close to the departure place.

  The transmission unit 46 transmits each route searched by the search unit 45 to the client terminal 12 as a selection candidate and displays it as a search result on the web page for transfer search.

  By referring to the search result displayed on the client terminal 12, the user can grasp the candidates for the transfer route to the departure point and the destination. On this transfer search web page, a route can be selected from the displayed candidates. The user selects a route to be used from candidates displayed on the transfer search web page.

  The route designation receiving unit 47 receives a route designation from the selection candidates. For example, the route specification receiving unit 47 receives a route specification from a transfer search web page on which transfer route candidates are displayed, and uses the selected route when a route is selected for the web page. Accepts the route that the user plans to use.

  The reservation unit 48 makes a reservation for the route portion of the on-demand traffic with the departure date / time and arrival date / time included in the route received by the route specification reception unit 47 to the reservation system 11. For example, the reservation unit 48 decomposes the route received by the route specification receiving unit 47 into a route portion for general traffic and a route portion for on-demand traffic. Then, the reservation unit 48 transmits a reservation request at the departure point, destination, departure date / time and arrival date / time of the route portion of the on-demand traffic to the reservation system 11 via the communication I / F unit 20. To make reservations for on-demand traffic routes.

  Upon receiving a reservation request, the reservation system 11 makes an on-demand traffic reservation with the requested content and notifies the server device 10 of the reservation result.

  When the reservation result is notified from the reservation system 11, the transmission unit 46 merges the notified transfer information of the route portion of the on-demand traffic with the transfer information of the route portion of the general traffic of the selected route. To the client terminal 12 and displayed as a reservation result on the transfer search web page. Note that the search unit 45 searches for the transfer of the general traffic route portion again in accordance with the reservation result notified from the reservation system 11, and the transmission unit 46 transmits the route portion of the on-demand traffic notified from the reservation system 11. The transfer information may be merged with the transfer information of the route portion of the general traffic of the route searched again and transmitted to the client terminal 12.

  Thereby, the user can grasp the reserved route by referring to the reservation result displayed on the client terminal 12.

[1-3. Flow of search for transfer]
Next, a flow of search for transfer by the server device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. 6 and 7 are sequence diagrams showing the flow of search for transfer.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the user requests a route search from the client terminal 12 to the server device 10 (S10). The example of FIG. 6 shows a case where the departure date and time is designated as TS as a search condition, and a search for a route from the departure point S to the destination G is requested. When both the departure point and the destination are general traffic getting-on / off points, the server device 10 searches for the transfer of general traffic by the transfer search system, and transmits the search result to the client terminal 12 (S11).

  On the other hand, when either the departure point or the destination is a travel point by on-demand traffic, the server device 10 identifies a general traffic entry / exit point within the operation range of the on-demand traffic, and identifies each identified exit / exit point. A route from the departure point to the destination is obtained as a relay point, and the obtained route is decomposed into a route portion for general traffic and a route portion for on-demand traffic, respectively (S12). In the example of FIG. 6, the departure point S side is a travel point by on-demand traffic, the route from the departure point S to the destination G, the route part of the on-demand traffic from the departure point S to the relay point R, and the relay point The case where it decomposes | disassembled into the route part of the general traffic from R to the destination G is shown. In addition, when there are a plurality of getting-on / off points, the server device 10 obtains a route using each as a relay point, and decomposes each route into a route portion for general traffic and a route portion for on-demand traffic.

  The server device 10 searches for the transfer of the route portion of general traffic and the route portion of on-demand traffic for each identified route. For example, the server device 10 inquires of the reservation system 11 about the reservation status of the route portion of the on-demand traffic (S13). The example of FIG. 6 shows a case where the reservation system 11 is inquired about the reservation status of the route portion of the on-demand traffic from the departure point S to the relay point R at the time of TS departure.

  The reservation system 11 calculates an operation plan (S14), and replies with a reservation available time (S15). In the example of FIG. 6, the reservation system 11 is from the departure point S at the time of TS, arrives at the relay point R at the time of TR, departs at the departure point S at the time of TS ', and arrives at the relay point R at the time of TR'. This shows a case where an answer indicating that the arrival at the relay point R can be reserved at the time of “TR” is obtained.

  The server device 10 instructs the transfer search system to search for the transfer of the general traffic route portion in accordance with the arrival date and time of each on-demand traffic route portion (S16). The transfer of is searched (S17). In the example of FIG. 6, for the route portion of the general traffic from the relay point R to the destination G, the transfer of the route portion of the general traffic is searched according to the arrival dates and times TR, TR ′, TR ″.

  Here, in the example of FIG. 6, the route from the departure point S to the destination G is the general traffic from the departure point R to the destination G next to the route portion of the on-demand traffic from the departure point S to the relay point R. 6 and the departure time is designated, and each route part is searched in the order shown in FIG. 6. However, the departure date / time or arrival date / time designation, the on-demand traffic route part, and the general traffic route are searched. Depending on the order of the parts, the search order of each path part changes as shown in FIG.

  The server device 10 merges the searched transfer times and reservation times for each route (S18), transmits each route to the client terminal 12 as a selection candidate, and displays it as a search result on the transfer search web page. (S19). In the example of FIG. 6, the departure from the departure point S at the time of TS to the destination G at the time of TG, the departure point S at the time of TS ', the arrival of the destination G at the time of TG', and the departure point S at the time of TS ". The destination G arrival is transmitted as a selection candidate at “TG” in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the user selects a route to be used from the candidates (S20). The example of FIG. 7 shows a case where the destination G is selected at the departure point S at TS 'and at the destination G at TG' as the route to be used.

  The server apparatus 10 decomposes the route to be used into a route portion for general traffic and a route portion for on-demand traffic (S21). Then, the server device 10 transmits a request for reservation at the departure point, destination, departure date / time and arrival date / time of the route portion of the decomposed on-demand traffic to the reservation system 11 (S22). Reserve the route part of. The example of FIG. 7 shows a case where a reservation request is transmitted from the departure point S at TS 'and at the relay point R at TR'.

  The reservation system 11 calculates the operation plan and performs reservation confirmation processing (S22), and notifies the server device 10 of the reservation result (S23). The example of FIG. 7 shows a case where the reservation system 11 notifies that the reservation for the departure point S is received at TS ′ and the reservation for arrival at the relay point R is received at TR ′.

  When the reservation result is notified from the reservation system 11, the server device 10 instructs the transfer search system to search for a transfer of the route portion of the general traffic in accordance with the notified reservation result (S24). The search system searches again for the transfer of the route portion of the general traffic (S25). Then, the server device 10 merges the notified transfer information of the route portion of the on-demand traffic with the transfer information of the route portion of the general traffic of the searched route again (S26), and the client terminal as the reservation result 12 (S27). The example of FIG. 7 shows a case where the reservation result is a departure from the departure point S at TS 'and arrival at the destination G at TG'. If the reservation result notified from the reservation system 11 is the same as the reservation condition requested to the reservation system 11, the server device 10 does not perform the search for the transfer of the route portion of the general traffic again, The route information may be transmitted to the client terminal 12.

[1-4. Action (Operation of Server Device 10)]
Next, the operation of the server device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. First, a flow of a transfer search process in which the server device 10 according to the present embodiment searches for a transfer route will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the transfer search process. This transfer search process is executed at a predetermined timing, for example, when a transfer search request based on the search condition is received from the client terminal 12.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the general search unit 41 determines whether any of the departure point and the destination of the received search condition is a travel point by on-demand traffic (S50). When neither the departure point nor the destination is a travel point by on-demand traffic (No at S50), the general search unit 41 starts from the departure point at the departure date or arrival date and time specified by the search condition based on the timetable information 30. A transfer route by general traffic to the ground is searched (S51), the search result is transmitted to the client terminal 12 and displayed as a search result on the transfer search web page (S52), and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when either the departure point or the destination is a moving point by on-demand traffic (Yes at S50), the disassembling unit 42 determines the traffic of the general traffic within the operation range of the on-demand traffic based on the on-demand traffic information 31. A boarding point is identified, and a route from the departure point to the destination is determined using each identified boarding point as a relay point (S53). Then, the decomposition unit 42 decomposes each route into a route portion for general traffic and a route portion for on-demand traffic (S54).

  The search unit 45 determines whether or not the processing for all the routes has been completed (S55). When the processing for all routes has not been completed (No at S55), the search unit 45 selects one unprocessed route (S56). The search unit 45 selects the general traffic route portion of the selected route based on the order of the route portion of the general traffic and the route portion of the on-demand traffic of the selected route and the designation of the departure date / time or arrival date / time specified in the search condition. And the search order of the route part of on-demand traffic is specified (S57). The search unit 45 controls the first acquisition unit 43 for the route portion of the general traffic and the second acquisition unit 44 for the route portion of the on-demand traffic in the specified search order. And the search of the route part of on-demand traffic is searched (S58), and after the search of each route part is completed, the process proceeds to S55 described above.

  On the other hand, when the processing for all the routes is completed (Yes at S55), the transmission unit 46 transmits each route searched by the search unit 45 to the client terminal 12 as a selection candidate and displays it as a search result on the web page for transfer search. Display (S59), and the process ends.

  Next, the flow of a reservation process in which the server device 10 according to the present embodiment makes a reservation for a route portion of on-demand traffic will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the reservation process. This reservation process is executed at a predetermined timing, for example, when the client terminal 12 receives a route selection from the selection candidates.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the reservation unit 48 decomposes the route received by the route designation receiving unit 47 into a route portion for general traffic and a route portion for on-demand traffic (S60). Then, the reservation unit 48 transmits a reservation request at the departure point, destination, departure date / time and arrival date / time of the route part of the on-demand traffic to the reservation system 11 to reserve the route part of the on-demand traffic. (S61).

  The reservation unit 48 waits for a notification of the reservation result from the reservation system 11 (S62).

  The search unit 45 searches again for the transfer of the route portion of the general traffic in accordance with the reservation result notified from the reservation system 11 (S63). The transmission unit 46 merges the transfer information of the route portion of the on-demand traffic notified from the reservation system 11 with the transfer information of the route portion of the general traffic that is re-searched, and transmits the merged information to the client terminal 12 to search for the transfer. Is displayed on the web page as a reservation result (S64), and the process is terminated.

[1-5. effect]
In this way, the server device 10 includes a route portion of general traffic which is a public transport that regularly operates a route from a departure point to a destination according to a search request according to a set operation plan. It breaks down into the route part of on-demand traffic, which is a public transport by demand system. And the server apparatus 10 uses the general search part 41 which searches for the transfer of general traffic, the transfer search result regarding the route part of general traffic, and the route part of on-demand traffic using the reservation system 11 of on-demand traffic Based on the operation information regarding, a transfer for the route relating to the search request is searched. Thereby, the server apparatus 10 can search easily the transfer route of the route part of on-demand traffic, and the route part of general traffic.

  In addition, when the departure date and time is specified as a search condition, the server device 10 determines that the departure point is to be departed on the departure date and time, in order from the route portion close to the departure place, in accordance with the arrival date and time of the previous route portion. Search for the route part of. Further, when the arrival date / time is designated as the search condition, the server device 10 assumes that the destination arrives before the arrival date / time and sets the departure date / time of the subsequent route portion in order from the route portion away from the departure location. At the same time, the transfer of the previous route part is searched. As a result, the server device 10 can search for the transfer between the route portion of the on-demand traffic and the route portion of the general traffic in accordance with the transfer timing even when the departure date / time or the departure date / time is designated as the search condition.

  In addition, when either the departure point or the destination is a travel point by on-demand traffic, the server device 10 identifies a general traffic entry / exit point within the operation range of the on-demand traffic, and identifies each identified exit / exit point. Multiple routes from the departure point to the destination are obtained as relay points. Then, the server device 10 decomposes each route into a route portion for general traffic and a route portion for on-demand traffic. As a result, the server device 10 can search for various transfer routes that use the general traffic entry / exit point within the on-demand traffic operation range as a relay point.

  Further, when a plurality of responses are obtained by the reservation system 11, the server device 10 searches for a route according to each response, transmits the searched route to the client terminal 12 as a selection candidate, and routes from the selection candidate. The specification of is accepted. Then, the server device 10 reserves the route portion of the on-demand traffic with the departure date and arrival date and time included in the designated route with respect to the reservation system 11. As a result, the server device 10 allows a user to select a travel route from a plurality of routes, and can reserve a route portion of on-demand traffic of the selected route without bothering the user.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described. The configuration of the reservation system 11 and the client terminal 12 according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the reservation system 11 and the client terminal 12 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. Omitted.

[2-1. Server device configuration]
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the server apparatus according to the second embodiment. Since the configuration of the server device 10 according to the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the server device 10 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, different parts will be described.

  As illustrated in FIG. 10, the storage unit 21 of the server device 10 reserves a route portion of on-demand traffic, and stores information about each route transmitted as a reservation result from the transmission unit 46 to the client terminal 12 as the reserved route information 32. Has been. In the reserved route information 32, contact information such as the mail address of the user who performed the transfer search is associated with each route. The user's contact information may be input from a transfer search web page. Further, for example, when the contact information of the user is registered in advance in association with the user ID for identifying the user and stored as user information, the server device 10 causes the user ID to be input when searching for a transfer. Then, the user ID of the user who has performed the transfer search may be stored in the reserved route information 32, and the contact may be associated through the user ID.

  The control unit 22 of the server device 10 further includes an acquisition unit 49, a notification unit 50, and a re-reservation unit 51.

  The acquisition unit 49 acquires general traffic delay information. For example, the acquisition unit 49 acquires general traffic delay information from an external server that provides general traffic delay information such as buses and railways. The acquisition part 49 is good also as what acquires delay information by transmitting regularly from an external server. Further, the acquisition unit 49 may acquire delay information by periodically accessing an external server.

  When the delay information acquired by the acquisition unit 49 includes the delay of the route portion of the general traffic of the route whose specification is received by the route specification reception unit 47, the notification unit 50 notifies the occurrence of the delay. For example, when the acquired delay information includes the delay of the route portion of the general traffic of the route received in the reserved route information 32 after receiving the designation of the route from the user, the notification unit 50 is associated with the route. Notify the user's contact information about the delay. For example, when the contact information of the user is an email address, the notification unit 50 notifies the occurrence of delay by email.

  Here, the route stored in the reserved route information 32 is a route that each user plans to move, and the route portion of on-demand traffic is also reserved. For this reason, when a delay occurs in the general traffic route portion of the route stored in the reserved route information 32, the user may be delayed in the reservation time for on-demand traffic. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a route. On-demand traffic moves to the next destination after the reservation time. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 11, when there is a route portion for on-demand traffic after a route portion for general traffic, the user may miss the on-demand traffic.

  Therefore, the re-reservation unit 51 recalculates the arrival date and time at the departure point of the reserved on-demand traffic route portion of the route on which the delay occurred based on the delay information acquired by the acquisition unit 49. For example, when the delay information includes the delay time, the re-reservation unit 51 adds the delay time to the arrival time of the general traffic route portion before the on-demand traffic route portion of the route stored in the reserved route information 32. Then recalculate the arrival date and time at the departure point of the route part of on-demand traffic. In addition, when the scheduled operation time of the delayed general traffic is stored as the delay information, the re-reservation unit 51 may recalculate the arrival date and time from the scheduled operation time to the departure point of the route portion of the on-demand traffic. . And the re-reservation part 51 determines whether it is in time for the reserved on-demand traffic as a result of recalculation. For example, the re-reservation unit 51 determines whether or not the time calculated by adding a predetermined transfer time to the recalculated arrival time of the route portion of the general traffic is later than the departure time of the on-demand traffic. If the re-calculation unit 51 does not meet the reserved on-demand traffic as a result of the recalculation, the re-reservation unit 51 cancels the reservation and re-reserves the re-calculated arrival date and time. For example, the re-reservation unit 51 notifies the reservation system 11 of reservation conditions such as the departure point, destination, departure date / time, and arrival date / time of on-demand traffic that is not in time, and requests cancellation of the reservation, and recalculates. Request the reservation of on-demand traffic from the departure point to the destination using the arrival date and time as the new departure date and time.

  When the reservation system 11 is requested to cancel the reservation notified of the reservation condition, the reservation system 11 cancels the reservation of the notified reservation condition. When the reservation system 11 receives a reservation request, the reservation system 11 makes an on-demand traffic reservation with the requested content and notifies the server device 10 of the reservation result.

  When the re-reservation unit 51 cancels the reservation and re-reserves the re-calculated arrival date and time, the notification unit 50 notifies the user's contact information of the departure time and arrival time of the re-reserved on-demand traffic. Notice. Thereby, the user can grasp the reservation contents of the route part of the re-reserved on-demand traffic.

[2-2. Action (Operation of Server Device 10)]
Next, the operation of the server device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. First, the flow of the delay detection process when the server apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment detects a delay in general traffic will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure of the delay detection process. This transfer search process is executed at a predetermined timing, for example, the timing when the acquisition unit 49 acquires the delay information.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the notification unit 50 determines whether or not the acquired delay information has a delay in the route portion of the general traffic of the route stored in the reserved route information 32 (S70). If there is no delay in the route portion of general traffic (No at S70), the process is terminated. On the other hand, when there is a delay in the route portion of the general traffic (Yes in S70), the notification unit 50 notifies the occurrence of the delay to the contact information of the user associated with the route in which the delay has occurred (S71).

  Based on the delay information, the re-reservation unit 51 recalculates the arrival date and time at the departure point of the route portion of the on-demand traffic reserved for the route in which the delay has occurred (S72). And the re-reservation part 51 determines whether it is in time for the reserved on-demand traffic as a result of recalculation (S73). As a result of the recalculation, when the reserved on-demand traffic is in time (Yes at S73), the process is terminated. On the other hand, as a result of the recalculation, when the reserved on-demand traffic is not in time (No in S73), the re-reservation unit 51 cancels the reservation and re-reserves the re-calculated arrival date and time for the reservation system 11. (S74). The notification unit 50 notifies the contact point of the user of the departure time and arrival time of the re-reserved on-demand traffic (S75), and ends the process.

[2-3. effect]
As described above, the server device 10 acquires the delay information of the general traffic, and if the acquired delay information includes the delay of the general traffic route portion of the route specified by the user, the server device 10 notifies the occurrence of the delay. . Thereby, the server apparatus 10 can notify the user that a delay has occurred in the general traffic route portion of the route designated by the user.

  Further, the server device 10 recalculates the arrival date and time at the departure point of the route portion of the reserved on-demand traffic based on the delay information, and if the result of the recalculation is not in time for the reserved on-demand traffic, the reservation system 11 In contrast, the reservation is canceled and re-reserved with the recalculated arrival date and time. Thereby, the server apparatus 10 can cancel and re-reserve on-demand traffic that is not in time without bothering the user. Moreover, the server apparatus 10 can assist movement to a user's destination promptly by re-reserving on-demand traffic.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described. The configuration of the reservation system 11 and the client terminal 12 according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the reservation system 11 and the client terminal 12 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. Omitted.

[3-1. Server device configuration]
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the server apparatus according to the third embodiment. Since the configuration of the server device 10 according to the third embodiment is substantially the same as that of the server device 10 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, different parts will be described.

  As illustrated in FIG. 13, the control unit 22 of the server device 10 further includes a correction unit 52.

  Here, there are roughly two types of on-demand traffic. One is a full-demand system that operates a vehicle in accordance with a reservation from a user. The other is a semi-demand system in which a rough traveling direction and departure time of the vehicle are determined, and the vehicle is operated so as to pass through a reservation point that matches the traveling direction. In the full-demand system, since a vehicle operation plan is created according to a reservation, the vehicle can be operated relatively accurately in time, but a subsequent reservation may not be accepted for a previous reservation. On the other hand, the semi-demand method is efficient because it allows users to ride together through reservation points in the same direction of travel, but the possibility of detouring increases as the number of waypoints increases, and arrival increases as the distance from the departure point increases. The time range becomes larger. The on-demand transportation service using the semi-demand system has a range of arrival times. For this reason, the reservation system 11 for the on-demand transportation service using the semi-demand method replies the departure date and arrival date and time in the time width when accepting the reservation.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a change in the arrival time width of the vehicle in the semi-demand method. In the example of FIG. 14, the vehicle that has departed from the start point S arrives at the point A between 8:40 and 9 o'clock, and arrives at the point B far from the point A between 8:50 and 9:35. It shows that. As described above, in the semi-demand system, when the reservation system 11 answers the departure date / time and arrival date / time in the time range, the distance of the arrival time of the vehicle increases as the distance from the departure point increases, so that the waiting time of the user also increases. There is.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the reservation system 11 answers the scheduled number of stops to the departure point and the arrival point.

  Further, the correction unit 52 corrects the time widths of the answered departure date and arrival date and time based on the scheduled number of visits to the departure and arrival points of the reservation answered from the reservation system 11. For example, the correction unit 52 predicts the total stop time by multiplying the number of stops to the departure point of the reservation by a predetermined stop time consumed by the stop, and the start time of the time range of the departure date and time has elapsed by the total stop time Correct to time. In addition, the correcting unit 52 predicts the total stop time by multiplying the number of stops to the arrival point of the reservation by the predetermined stop consumption time, and the time when the start time of the time span of the arrival date and time has elapsed by the total stop time To correct. This drop-in consumption time may be set by the administrator. Further, the drop-in consumption time may be the drop-off consumption time acquired from the reservation system 11 when the reservation system 11 provides a standard drop-off consumption time for one stop.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of correction of the time width of the departure date and time and the arrival date and time. In the example of FIG. 15, a vehicle that has departed from the start point S arrives at a point A between 8:40 and 9 o'clock, and arrives at a point B far from the point A between 8:50 and 9:35. It shows that. In the example of FIG. 15, the number of stops to point A is four, and the number of stops from point A to point B is six. Therefore, the number of stops to point B is ten. . Further, in the example of FIG. 15, the drop-in consumption time is 3 minutes. In this case, the correction unit 52 predicts the total stop time to the point A as 4 times × 3 minutes = 12 minutes, and corrects the start time of the time width of the arrival date and time at the point A from 8:40 to 8:52. To do. In addition, the correction unit 52 predicts the total stop time to the point B as 10 times × 3 minutes = 30 minutes, and corrects the start time of the time width of the arrival date and time at the point B from 8:50 to 9:20. .

  The search unit 45 searches for a transfer for a route portion of on-demand traffic using the start date / time of the departure date / time corrected by the correction unit 52 as the departure date / time and the end date / time of the arrival date / time as the arrival date / time. . For example, in the example of FIG. 15, the search unit 45 searches for a transfer from the previous route portion with respect to the point A with 8:52 as the departure date. Further, the search unit 45 searches for a transfer to a later route portion with respect to the point B with 9:35 as the arrival date and time.

[3-2. effect]
As described above, the server device 10 corrects the time width of the responded departure date and arrival date and time based on the scheduled number of stops to the departure point and arrival point that are answered from the reservation system 11. Then, the server device 10 searches for the transfer of the route portion of the on-demand traffic using the start date / time of the corrected departure date / time as the departure date / time and the end date / time of the arrival date / time as the arrival date / time. Thereby, the server apparatus 10 can suppress a user's waiting time little about the route part of on-demand traffic.

[4. Others]
As described above, some of the embodiments of the present application have been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, these are merely examples, and various modifications, including the aspects described in the disclosure section of the invention, based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, It is possible to implement the present invention in other forms with improvements.

  For example, in the above embodiment, in the server device 10, the general search unit 41 (transfer search system) performs a transfer search for general traffic, but the present invention is not limited to this. A general traffic transfer search may be performed by another server device, and the server device 10 may request the other server device to perform a general traffic transfer search and obtain a search result.

  In the third embodiment, the time width of the departure date / time and the arrival date / time of the on-demand traffic is based on the scheduled number of visits answered from the reservation system 11 when the route is requested by the user. Although the case of correcting is described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the server device 10 stores information regarding each route transmitted as a reservation result to the client terminal 12 in the storage unit 21 as the reserved route information 32. The server device 10 is included in the route a predetermined period before the departure date and time of the route stored in the reserved route information 32 (for example, a predetermined time before the departure date and a certain time before the departure date). The reservation system 11 is inquired about the planned number of stops for the route portion of the on-demand traffic, and the time width of the departure date and arrival date and time of the on-demand traffic is corrected based on the latest scheduled number of stops obtained from the reservation system 11. The transfer route may be searched again from the correction result to notify the user of the latest transfer route. Thereby, the server apparatus 10 can reduce a user's waiting time.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the route portion of the on-demand traffic is included in the route for the search request for transfer, the reservation system 11 is always inquired about the reservation status of the route portion of the on-demand traffic. Although described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the result of inquiring on-demand traffic is stored in the storage unit 21 together with the inquired condition, and the inquiry is made to the reservation system 11 under the same inquired condition for a certain period (for example, about several minutes to several tens of minutes). When performing, you may make it use the result of the inquiry memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 21. FIG. The user may repeatedly search for a transfer route while changing some conditions. The server device 10 can reduce the number of accesses to the reservation system 11 by using the stored inquiry result when making an inquiry to the reservation system 11 during the fixed period under the same inquiry condition. 13 line loads can be reduced.

  In the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which a plurality of routes from the departure point to the destination are obtained using the general traffic entry / exit points within the on-demand traffic operation range as relay points. However, the present invention is not limited to this. . A route with a large number of transfers to different types of general traffic, such as a transfer from a railway to a bus, is rarely selected by a user as a travel route. For this reason, the server apparatus 10 may perform a transfer search by giving priority to a route with a small number of transfers to different types of general traffic. For example, in the example of FIG. 4, the decomposing unit 42 decomposes the route 1 and the route 2 into a general traffic route part and an on-demand traffic route part, and the search unit 45 reserves the on-demand traffic route part. If on-demand traffic reservation cannot be obtained, the route 3 may be decomposed into a general traffic route portion and an on-demand traffic route portion to reserve the on-demand traffic route portion.

  Moreover, although said embodiment demonstrated the case where it makes a reservation after making an inquiry about the reservation status of the route part of on-demand traffic to the reservation system 11, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a search for transfer is requested, the server device 10 may reserve the route portion of on-demand traffic on the route with the highest priority. The priority may be selected by the user on the web page of the transfer search because the travel time is the shortest, the number of transfers is small, the fare is low, and the like.

  Further, the server device 10 described above may be realized by a plurality of server computers, and depending on functions, an external platform or the like may be realized by calling an API (Application Programming Interface) or network computing. Can be changed flexibly.

  Further, the “means” described in the claims can be read as “section (module, unit)” or “circuit”. For example, the search means can be read as a search unit or a search circuit.
