  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The information processing system 1 in FIG. 1 includes a terminal device 2 and a server 3. The terminal device 2 and the server 3 are connected to each other via a network 4 so that they can communicate with each other.

  Note that at least some of the functions of the terminal device 2 and the server 3 may be executed by a computer. The network 4 may be either a wired line or a wireless line, and the type and form of the line are not limited.

  First, the terminal device 2 will be described. The terminal device 2 is used by a user, and is, for example, a mobile electronic device such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, or a tablet terminal.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device 2 includes a communication unit 11, an operation input unit 12, an output unit 13, a positioning unit 14, a route information acquisition unit 15, a movement status information acquisition unit 16, and a control unit. 17.

  The communication unit 11 is a communication interface unit for transmitting and receiving information between the control unit 17 and the server 3 via the network 4.

  The operation input unit 12 is an interface for a user to input an operation (information) to the terminal device 2 and is, for example, a built-in microphone, a touch panel, a keyboard, or the like. For example, the user may input various information by operating a touch panel, a keyboard, or the like, or may input various information by voice through a built-in microphone. The information input by the user through the operation input unit 12 may include movement status information described later.

  The output unit 13 outputs various information to the user. The output unit 13 may be, for example, a video display unit such as a liquid crystal display or an audio output unit such as a speaker or an earphone. When the operation input unit 12 is a touch panel, the operation input unit 12 may also serve as the output unit 13. The information output by the output unit 13 includes output information generated by the server 3 described later.

  The positioning unit 14 measures the current position of the user (terminal device 2). For example, the positioning unit 14 receives a signal from a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite and measures the absolute position of the user (terminal device 2). Alternatively, the positioning unit 14 may perform positioning by receiving radio waves from an access point, like WiFi positioning. Further, positioning may be performed using both a signal from a GPS satellite and a radio wave from an access point.

  The route information acquisition unit 15 acquires a route based on a user request based on information input by the user using the operation input unit 12. Here, the route based on the user's request is, for example, a route that the user desires for traffic guidance or a route related to a specific date in the past designated by the user. In the latter case, when the user designates a specific date, the route information acquisition unit 15 may acquire a route traveled by the user on that date. At least a part of the route acquired by the route information acquisition unit 15 includes a transportation route. The transportation route is a route of various vehicles operated by any transportation such as a train, a bus, an aircraft, and a ship. Since it is only necessary to include a transportation route in at least a part of the route based on the user's request, the route based on the user's request includes a route other than the transportation route such as walking, bicycle, or private car. May be. In addition, the route based on the user's request may be a route for which the user arbitrarily designates information such as a departure place, a destination, a departure time, an arrival time, and a transportation system to be used. A specific route may be specified, and a route, a boarding (alighting) station name, and a boarding time may be specifically specified.

  Note that the route acquired by the route information acquisition unit 15 may be the entire route from the departure point to the destination specified by the user, or may be a portion of the entire route. In addition, the route acquired by the route information acquisition unit 15 may be one route in a route for transferring a plurality of routes.

  The movement status information acquisition unit 16 acquires the movement status information of the user who is on the vehicle. Here, the user's movement status information is a concept including information on the user's behavior during movement and information on the user's behavior caused by the moving environment. More specifically, the movement status information acquisition unit 16 detects the user's movement status information using, for example, one or more sensors of the terminal device 2 possessed by the user. For example, since the acceleration sensor can detect the posture of the user who gets on the vehicle, the movement status information can include the posture information. The posture information is, for example, information indicating whether or not the user is seated, and can be detected by an acceleration sensor. In addition, since the current position of the user can be detected using the positioning unit 14 described above, the movement status information can include position information. Or you may detect a user's positional information separately from the movement condition information acquisition part 16 using the positioning part 14 grade | etc.,. That is, the position information may be included in the user's movement status information, or the position information may be separately acquired by the positioning unit 14 or the like without including the position information in the user's movement status information.

  In addition, using a wearable sensor such as a wristband type terminal separate from the terminal device 2, the biological information and environmental information of the user who is moving on the vehicle may be acquired as the movement status information. As described above, the sensor that automatically detects the movement status information of the user is not limited to the one provided in the terminal device 2 that communicates with the server 3. The movement status information detected by a sensor provided separately from the terminal device 2 may be sent to the server 3 via the terminal device 2 or may be sent directly from the sensor to the server 3. When the sensor detection signal is sent directly to the server 3, it is necessary to provide the movement status information acquisition unit 16 in the server 3 as well. That is, biometric information may be included in the user's movement status information, or biometric information is acquired by a wearable sensor or the like separately from the movement status information acquisition unit 16 without including biometric information in the user's movement status information. May be.

  Here, the biological information is information such as the user's body temperature, sweating, brain waves, pulse, respiration, blood flow, and the like. Alternatively, the biometric information is generated based on such information, information on the user's physical condition, information indicating the user's mood such as comfort and discomfort, information indicating the degree of user relaxation, information indicating the user's activity state, and the like But you can.

  The environment information is information indicating weather, temperature, humidity, congestion, and the like. More specifically, the environmental information includes at least one of environmental information in the vehicle such as temperature, humidity, and congestion, and environmental information outside the vehicle such as weather.

  The movement status information acquisition unit 16 may acquire the user's movement status information based on information input by the user via the operation input unit 12. Further, the movement status information acquisition unit 16 may acquire the user's movement status information by using one or sensor detection information and information input by the user via the operation input unit 12 together.

  For example, the user may input the movement status information of the user via the operation input unit 12. The input movement status information is, for example, information related to the user's behavior caused by the moving environment. More specifically, posture information, body temperature information, behavior information caused by temperature, behavior information caused by congestion, etc. Can be input. For example, the posture information is information indicating whether the user was standing or sitting in the vehicle. The body temperature information may be relative information such as whether the user's own body temperature is high or low, or may be absolute information such as a specific body temperature value. The information on the behavior caused by the temperature is information on the behavior that allows the user to grasp the temperature. More specifically, it is information that allows the temperature in the vehicle to be grasped, such as whether the vehicle was hot and sweating, hot or cold and the vehicle was moved, and it was cold and trembling. Information on behavior caused by congestion is information that allows the user to grasp the congestion status. More specifically, it is information that can grasp the crowded situation such as pushing away the crowd, having endured in the crowd, suffocating, staying still without opening the newspaper, This is information that allows you to grasp the situation that is not crowded, such as reading magazines in a concentrated manner.

  In addition, since how to feel about congestion, a body temperature, and air temperature changes with users, the information which each user inputs via the operation input part 12 can become movement condition information intrinsic | native to each user.

  The route information based on the user request acquired by the route information acquisition unit 15 and the movement status information acquired by the movement status information acquisition unit 16 are transmitted to the server 3 via the communication unit 11. The route information acquisition unit 15 and the movement status information acquisition unit 16 are not necessarily provided in the terminal device 2 and may be provided in the server 3. In addition, at least one of the route information acquisition unit 15 and the movement status information acquisition unit 16 may be provided on both the terminal device 2 and the server 3 in an overlapping manner. In this specification, an example in which the route information acquisition unit 15 and the movement status information acquisition unit 16 are provided in the terminal device 2 will be described.

  The control unit 17 controls the operation of each unit in the terminal device 2. For example, the control unit 17 performs control to transmit the user movement status information automatically acquired by the movement status information acquisition unit 16 to the server 3 in association with the user position information automatically acquired by the positioning unit 14. . Or the control part 17 may perform control which transmits a user's movement condition information and position information to the server 3 separately, respectively, and may link these information on the server side. The position information may be transmitted to the server 3 from a device separate from the terminal device 2. In addition, the control unit 17 performs control to transmit user movement status information input by the user via the operation input unit 12 to the server 3. Further, when the user requests provision of output information via the operation input unit 12, the control unit 17 sends a transmission request for output information to the server 3, and is sent from the server 3 in response thereto. The output information is received, and control is performed to display the output information on the display screen of the terminal device 2.

  Next, the configuration of the server 3 will be described. The server 3 includes a communication unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a control unit 23.

  The communication unit 21 is a communication interface unit that transmits and receives information to and from the terminal device 2 via the network 4.

  The storage unit 22 includes a map database 24, a traffic related information database 25, and a log information database 26. Further, the storage unit 22 may have a movement status analysis information database 27.

  The map database 24 is a database that stores position information of transportation stations and information on routes passing through the stations. Note that the station position information and the route information passing through the station may be stored in different databases.

  “Station” means a place where the transportation stops to get on and off passengers. For example, if the transportation is a train, it is a station, if the transportation is a bus, it is a stop, and the transportation is a ship. In this case, it means a port, and when the transportation is by airplane, it means an airport.

  The traffic related information database 25 is a database that stores traffic related information. The traffic related information database 25 includes, for example, at least one of a timetable for each station and route, congestion information for each station, and operation information for each route.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of timetable data stored in the traffic related information database 25. This timetable shows a part of the timetable from the X-ray station A to the Y direction in the morning at 8:00 am.

  The log information database 26 is a database in which log information including user movement status information transmitted from the terminal device 2 to the server 3 is stored in time series. It is assumed that the movement history information that the user of the terminal device 2 got on and off with X-rays in the morning between May 12th and 15th is as shown in FIG. For example, on May 12, it shows that it got on at 8: 1 at A station and got off at H at 8:18. In this case, the log information database 26 is, for example, as shown in FIG. The log information database 26 in FIG. 4 shows an example in which posture information, that is, information indicating whether or not the user has been seated in a train is stored as the movement status information of the user. The log information database 26 in FIG. 4 stores log information that associates a user ID, date and time, posture information, and position information. The position information includes latitude / longitude information, a train station or section name, vehicle information, and door information.

  The latitude / longitude information can be detected by the positioning unit 14 of the terminal device 2. The train station or section name is communicated with the base station or access point installed on the platform while the owner of the terminal device 2 is on the station platform, or communicated with the GPS satellite by the positioning unit 14. Can be specified. Moreover, it can be determined in the positioning part 14 whether the user of the terminal device 2 got on the train. That is, if the positioning unit 14 periodically detects the position of the user, the user's moving speed can be grasped. Therefore, if the moving speed exceeds a predetermined threshold, it can be determined that the user has boarded the train. Or you may judge that the user got on the train from the communication history with the communication apparatus installed in the vehicle.

  Each piece of data stored in the log information database 26 in FIG. 4 is a movement automatically acquired by a terminal device 2 possessed by at least one of a user who specified a route based on a user's request and another person using a sensor or the like. The situation information is stored in time series. FIG. 4 shows the movement status information automatically acquired every other minute by the terminal device 2 possessed by the user whose user ID is ID012345, but the terminal device 2 possessed by the user having another user ID. The movement status information automatically acquired by the user may also be stored in the log information database 26.

  The log information stored in the log information database 26 may include not only data automatically acquired by the terminal device 2 but also data input by the owner of the terminal device 2. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the log information database 26 generated by sequentially storing data input by the owner of the terminal device 2. In the example of FIG. 5, data is input every minute, but the owner of the terminal device 2 may input data irregularly. By accumulating a large amount of data input by the owner, a highly reliable log information database 26 can be generated. Note that the owner of the terminal device 2 that performs input to the log information database 26 in FIG. 5 may include not only one person but also the owner of each of the plurality of terminal devices 2.

  In the log information database 26 in the server 3, at least one of the log information automatically acquired by the terminal device 2 as shown in FIG. 4 and the log information as shown in FIG. 5 input by the owner of the terminal device 2 is stored. Should be stored. When both of these two types of log information are stored in the log information database 26, these two types of log information may be managed separately, or may be managed collectively in chronological order.

  The storage unit 22 is, for example, fixed data storage such as a hard disk. The storage unit 22 is not necessarily provided in the server 3 and may be provided in another device that is communicably connected to the server 3 in a wired or wireless manner. Moreover, at least a part of the map database 24, the traffic related information database 25, and the log information database 26 may be stored separately in different storage devices.

  The control unit 23 in the server 3 includes an output information generation unit 28. The output information generation unit 28 generates output information in which route information based on a user request and user movement status information are associated with each other. The user movement status information used by the output information generation unit 28 to generate the output information is at least one of the routes based on the request of the same user in the past by at least one of the user who specified the route based on the user's request and the other person. It is the movement status information acquired while moving the part. A specific example of the output information will be described later.

  The output information generation unit 28 may include a recommended information generation unit 29. The recommended information generation unit 29 generates recommended information on the route based on the user's request based on the user's movement status information acquired by the movement status information acquisition unit 16. Here, the recommended information includes identification information of a vehicle on which the user should get on, information on a specific vehicle of the vehicle, information on a specific door of the specific vehicle, and the like.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of recommended information, and shows an example in which recommended information is displayed on the display screen of the terminal device 2 possessed by the user. FIG. 6 shows an example in which a route on the X-ray from the A station to the G station is included in the route based on the user's request. In the case of FIG. 6 (a), according to the user's own travel status information, if a train that departs from station A at 8:01 am, the fourth vehicle can be seated from station C. Because there are many, the fourth vehicle is provided as recommended information. In the case of FIG. 6B, according to the past movement status information of the user who specified the route based on the user's request and other humans, if the vehicle is one of the first to fourth cars and the sixth car, These vehicles are provided as recommended information because they can often be seated from station C.

  Thus, the specific information provided as recommended information is not particularly limited. Based on past movement status information, recommendation information may be provided by a predetermined algorithm, or priority information may be inquired to the user in advance and recommended information corresponding to the priority specified by the user may be provided. Good. Further, the recommended information may be provided at a recommended timing. For example, when a train arrives at a certain station, the recommended information that “I can usually sit from the next station” is displayed, or the recommended information that “I will continue to stand for another 10 minutes” while the train is running May be displayed. In the case of the former, an example is shown in which recommended information is provided using the station in front of a station with a high possibility of sitting as a recommended timing. An example of displaying information is shown.

  Whether or not you can actually sit on the train depends on the experience of each passenger, the willingness to sit, and so on. Therefore, the other person's past seat availability information is often not as informative as his own seat availability information. Therefore, as in the case of FIG. 6B, when providing recommended information based on movement status information including past seating availability information of other people, recommended information is provided based on past seating availability information of other people. It is desirable to clearly indicate that it is provided. In the example of FIG. 6B, the message “A person on this train is sitting at this station” is displayed so that the user can understand that other people's past seat availability information is taken into consideration. . On the other hand, in the case of FIG. 6A, the recommended information is provided based on the past seating availability information of the user himself, so it is not clearly shown who has taken into consideration the seating availability information. In the case of (a), for example, a message such as “The customer himself has sat at this station before” may be displayed.

  Further, the control unit 23 in the server 3 may have a movement status analysis unit 30. The movement situation analysis unit 30 generates movement situation analysis information obtained by analyzing the movement situation information of the user acquired by the movement situation information acquisition unit 16 and stores it in the movement situation analysis information database 27. Moreover, the output information generation part 28 produces | generates output information based on movement condition analysis information.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing operations of the terminal device 2 and the server 3 when collecting and managing log information including user movement status information. This flowchart shows an example in which seating availability information indicating whether or not the owner of the terminal device 2 is seated in a seat in a train is acquired as movement status information. The owner of the terminal device 2 is intended to include not only a user who has specified a route based on a user request but also other people.

  In carrying out the flowchart of FIG. 7, the owner of the terminal device 2 needs to activate specific application software on the terminal device 2. Alternatively, a dedicated button may be provided on the terminal device 2, and when this button is pressed or touched, the terminal device 2 may automatically start the process of the flowchart of FIG.

  First, it is determined whether or not the owner of the terminal device 2 has boarded the train (step S1). In this determination, as described above, the moving speed of the holder is detected based on the result of periodically measuring the position of the holder of the terminal device 2 by the positioning unit 14, and the moving speed exceeds a predetermined threshold value. If so, it is determined that the owner has taken the train. Or you may judge that the owner got on the train from the communication history with the communication apparatus in a vehicle. Alternatively, when the owner gets on the train, information indicating that he / she has boarded may be input using the operation input unit 12 or a microphone.

  Next, various information such as the route on which the owner of the terminal device 2 gets, the train identification information, the vehicle, and the door are detected (step S2). The route can be specified based on the communication history with the base station, access point, etc. on the platform before the owner of the terminal device 2 gets on the train, and the owner position measured by the positioning unit 14. The train identification information can be specified by collating the timetable information managed by the server 3 with the current time. The vehicle and door on which the owner has boarded can be specified by communication with the communication device or the like if the train is equipped with a communication device or the like that communicates with the terminal device 2 for each vehicle or door. When there is no such communication device, the position on the platform is specified based on the position information measured by the positioning unit 14, and the vehicle or door on which the owner of the terminal device 2 gets is estimated. In addition, since the information about the vehicle and door which the owner of the terminal device 2 got on is not necessarily essential, such information does not need to be acquired. Further, instead of automatically detecting various types of information in step S <b> 2, the owner of the terminal device 2 may input these pieces of information using the operation input unit 12.

  Next, the movement status information acquisition unit 16 in the terminal device 2 continuously or intermittently detects whether the user is seated, for example, using an acceleration sensor (step S3). Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, log information in which the user ID, date and time information, posture information, and user position information are associated with each other is acquired and transmitted to the server 3 via the communication unit 11. (Step S4). In the example of FIG. 4, the position information includes latitude / longitude information, station or section information, vehicle information, and door information, but these are not essential and may be changed as appropriate.

  When the server 3 receives the log information including the movement status information sent from the terminal device 2, the server 3 stores the received log information in the log information database 26 in the storage unit (step S5). Since the log information is transmitted from the terminal device 2 every minute, for example, it is stored in the log information database 26 in time series. Note that log information from the terminal device 2 possessed by each of a plurality of users may be transmitted to the server 3 at different timings, but the log information includes a user ID and date / time information. Therefore, each log information can be distinguished even if it is stored in the log information database 26 in the order of reception.

  Next, the movement status analysis unit 30 in the server 3 performs statistics and analysis based on the log information stored in the log information database 26, generates movement status analysis information, and stores it in the movement status analysis information database 27. Store (step S6).

  8 and 9 are diagrams showing an example of the movement status analysis information database 27. FIG. The movement situation analysis information database 27 of FIG. 8 shows an example of storing movement situation analysis information in which the seating history for each train and vehicle is collected. The movement status analysis information in FIG. 8 includes user ID, route, train ID, departure station, departure time of departure station, boarded vehicle, station or section, history number, number of seating, number of seating impossible, winning rate, winning / losing, and icon Each piece of information is associated. These pieces of information are examples, and at least some of the information may be changed. The win rate is a value obtained by dividing the number of seats by the number of histories, and represents the probability of being seated. Win / Loss is the number of wins / losses where the number of seats is the number of wins and the number of non-seats is the number of losses. The icon information is information for selecting an icon displayed on the display screen of the terminal device 2, and is information for selecting either an icon indicating a seated state or an icon indicating a standing state. In this example, if the number of seats exceeds 50%, an icon indicating that the user is seated is selected, and if the number of seats is less than that, an icon indicating that the user is standing is selected. These icons are for providing information indicating a tendency to sit, and do not provide reliable information indicating whether or not the user can always sit.

  On the other hand, the movement situation analysis information database 27 of FIG. 9 shows an example of storing movement situation analysis information related to the degree of seating on a specific route. The movement status analysis information in FIG. 9 associates each information of user ID, route, station or section, history number, number of seating, number of seating impossibility, winning rate, winning / losing, and seating degree. These pieces of information are examples, and at least some of the information may be changed. The degree of seating indicates the ease of seating in three stages, for example, “high” is the easiest to sit, “medium” is the next most likely to sit, and “low” is the least likely to sit Yes. The seating degree is “high” when the winning rate is 0.8 or more, for example, when the number of seats is divided by the number of histories, and the seating degree is “medium” when the winning rate is 0.3 or more and less than 0.8, for example. The degree becomes “low” when the winning percentage is less than 0.3, for example.

  FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 described above are examples of movement situation analysis information. Both of these may be stored in the movement situation analysis information database 27, or only one of them may be stored, or other statistics may be stored. The movement situation analysis information generated by performing the analysis may be stored in the movement situation analysis information database 27.

  Further, when generating the movement situation analysis information of FIG. 8 or FIG. 9, the movement situation analysis information dedicated to each user is generated using only the past movement analysis information of the user himself / herself who specified the route based on the user's request. Alternatively, general-purpose movement situation analysis information that can be shared by a plurality of users including past movement analysis information of other people as well as a user who designates a route based on the user's request may be generated. In addition, each user may arbitrarily select whether to generate movement status analysis information dedicated to each user or to generate general-purpose movement status analysis information. Alternatively, if the number of past movement analysis information of each user does not reach a predetermined number, general-purpose movement situation analysis information is automatically generated. If the number of histories reaches a predetermined number, Movement situation analysis information may be generated.

  In addition, the process of step S5 of FIG. 7 is not necessarily essential. That is, the server 3 does not necessarily have to generate the movement information analysis information. In this case, the output information generation unit 28 in the server 3 generates output information based on the log information including the movement status information. For example, when a user who designates a route based on a user request makes a display request for movement status information at a specific date and time in the past, there is no need to perform movement information analysis of log information. What is necessary is just to extract desired movement status information from 26 and generate output information.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing operation for displaying the output information generated by the server 3 on the display screen of the terminal device 2. First, the user designates a route based on the user's request via the operation input unit 12 of his / her terminal device 2 and requests to display the movement status information of the transportation route included in the route based on the user's request. Is performed (step S11). This display request is sent to the server 3 via the communication unit 11 together with route information based on the user's request.

  When the server 3 receives the movement status information display request, the server 3 acquires the movement status information related to the transportation route in the route based on the user's request from the log information database 26 and, if necessary, the corresponding movement status. Analysis information is acquired from the movement status analysis information database 27 (step S12). Next, the output information generation unit 28 in the server 3 generates output information using the acquired movement status information and the movement status analysis information acquired as necessary (step S13).

  The output information generated by the output information generation unit 28 in the server 3 is transmitted to the terminal device 2 via the network 4 (step S14). The terminal device 2 displays the received output information on the display screen of the terminal device 2 (step S15).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of output information displayed on the display screen of the terminal device 2. The output information of FIG. 11 displays seating availability information between stations for each vehicle by using one of a plurality of icons (indexes) ic1 and ic2. These icons ic1 and ic2 are based on the icon information in the movement state analysis information database 27 in FIG. 8, and are icons (first index) ic1 indicating that there is a high possibility of being seated and are highly likely not to be seated. And an icon (second index) ic2 indicating this. In the example of FIG. 11, in the first vehicle, the icon ic2 indicating that there is a high possibility that the section from station A to station C cannot be seated is displayed, and there is a high possibility that the section from station C to station E can be seated. An icon ic1 is displayed.

  In FIG. 11, two types of icons representing seating availability information are provided, but three or more types of icons may be provided in order from the descending order of possibility of sitting. For example, a first icon indicating that the person is likely to sit, a second icon indicating that he is likely to sit, a third icon indicating that he is relatively likely to stand, and a fourth icon indicating that he is substantially standing It may be provided.

  By displaying the output information as shown in FIG. 11 on the display screen of the terminal device 2, the user can grasp at a glance which vehicle can be seated in a short time before getting on the train. Convenience for passengers who ride is improved.

  Note that the output information generated by the output information generation unit 28 in the server 3 is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a first application example of output information. The output information in FIG. 12 shows an example in which the user of the terminal device 2 specifies a route and a station as a route based on the user's request. The output information in this case includes seating availability information between stations for each train with no distinction of vehicles and information on the degree of seating between stations with no distinction of train and time. In order to generate the output information of FIG. 12, the movement status analysis information of both FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 is used. More specifically, the output information of FIG. 12 displays whether or not there is a high possibility that the train can be seated with the icons ic1 and ic2 for each train having a different departure time from the station A. Further, the output information of FIG. 12 includes a display area 31 in which the color or shading of each section changes according to the degree of seating. By looking at the display area 31, the degree of seating between the stations can be grasped at a glance.

  According to the output information shown in FIG. 12, it is difficult to sit from station A to station G in the early morning hours, but if it is a little later, it will be possible to seat from station D. I can see that I can do it. Also, according to the seating degree display area 31, on the average, it is difficult to sit in the section from A station to Aoyama-Iccho station, and the section from C station to D station is somewhat easier to sit. It turns out that there is a high possibility of sitting from the station to G station. The output information of FIG. 12 can also be used for the purpose of providing a seating degree in another time zone to a user who gets on a fixed time. Thus, the user can easily and quickly search for the optimum time zone without actually getting on the vehicle.

  In the output information of FIG. 12, since the seating availability information for each vehicle cannot be grasped, the output information of FIG. 11 and the output information of FIG. 12 can be arbitrarily switched and displayed on the display screen of the terminal device 2. Also good.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a second application example of output information. The output information of FIG. 13 shows an example in which the user of the terminal device 2 specifies only a route. In the output information in this case, a plurality of pieces of past movement status information using the same route by the user of the terminal device 2 are displayed in order from the present to the current. Even if the direction of movement is the opposite direction, they are displayed in chronological order.

  In addition, the output information in FIG. 13 is provided with a circle mark 32 that can be associated with each station so that the seating availability information for each of the up and down routes can be grasped at a glance. The upper half of these circle marks 32 indicates the seating availability information on the up route, and the lower half of the circle marks 32 indicates the seat availability information on the down route. A circle mark 32 in FIG. 13 indicates that the display form 32a indicating that the possibility of sitting is high, the display form 32b indicating that the possibility of sitting is low, and whether seating is not possible for each of the upper half and the lower half. It is displayed in one of the display forms 32b.

  In FIG. 13, the circle mark 32 is provided in association with each station, but the circle mark 32 may be provided in association with each station. Further, the specific shape of the mark is not limited to a circle, and may be another shape such as a polygon.

  According to the output information in FIG. 13, it can be seen that there is a high possibility that both the up line and the down line can be seated at D station.

  The output information of FIG. 13 has an advantage that the degree of seating on the return can be grasped in advance. In addition, the circle mark 32 associated with each station makes it possible to grasp at a glance the degree of seating on the upstream and downstream routes.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a third application example of output information. The output information shown in FIG. 14 is generated based on at least one of the log information databases 26 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the station name is written in the horizontal axis direction, and between the stations and stations in the vertical axis direction. The seating situation is shown in a bar graph. The upper half of the vertical axis shows the number of seats as a bar graph 33, and the lower half of the vertical axis shows the number of seats that cannot be seated as a bar graph 34.

  14 shows a slide bar 35 for selecting a train vehicle and a vehicle number mark 36 indicating which vehicle is selected. An arbitrary vehicle can be selected by operating the slide bar 35 with the operation input unit 12, and the seating status of the selected vehicle is displayed as bar graphs 33 and 34. For example, in the example of FIG. 14, the seating situation for the second vehicle is shown as a bar graph. In this vehicle, it can be seen that the frequency of seating is low in the section from station A to station C, and the frequency of seating is high in the section from station C to station G.

  The output information in FIG. 14 does not take into account the time zone when the user gets on the train, and shows an average seating situation throughout the day as a bar graph. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to switch and display the output information of FIG. 12 as necessary.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the movement status information when the owner of the terminal device 2 moves on the transportation route is acquired and stored in the log information database 26 in the server 3 as log information. When there is a movement status information display request from a user who has specified a route based on the request, the server 3 generates output information in which the route information based on the user request and the movement status information are associated with each other, and transmits the output information to the terminal device 2. . Thereby, the user can grasp past movement status information before getting on the vehicle of the transportation facility, and can accurately select an optimal vehicle such as being easily seated.

  Further, if the movement status analysis information obtained by analyzing the log information in the server 3 is generated, the recommended information can be provided to the terminal device 2, and the user can accurately grasp in advance which vehicle to ride, Convenience is improved.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, an example in which output information including information indicating whether or not seating is possible is generated mainly using the seating availability information included in the movement status information. As described above, since it is possible to include various biological information and environmental information in addition to the posture information, it is also possible to generate output information including information other than information indicating whether or not the user can sit. is there.

  For example, the temperature and humidity in the vehicle increase, and passenger discomfort tends to increase. For this reason, when a temperature sensor or a humidity sensor is provided in the terminal device 2 or the vehicle, the temperature and humidity are measured by these sensors, the measured temperature and humidity are included in the movement status information, and the log information is stored in the server. 3 may be transmitted.

  When information related to at least one of temperature and humidity is included in the output information, this information may be divided into a plurality of stages and displayed with a different icon for each stage.

  In addition, passenger discomfort may increase due to changes in the environment in the vehicle, in which case the passenger's pulse becomes faster, breathing is disturbed, body temperature rises, and sweating occurs. Therefore, when the terminal device 2 or other wearable terminals can detect biological information such as the pulse, breathing, body temperature, sweating, etc. of the passenger, the detected biological information is included in the movement status information and the server 3 May be sent to. When this biological information is included in the output information, for example, the biological information may be divided into a plurality of stages and displayed with different icons for each stage.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to include environmental information outside the vehicle such as the weather in the movement status information. Weather information can be easily acquired by the terminal device 2 communicating with a base station or the like. Alternatively, the server 3 may acquire weather information. When waiting for a train on a platform on a rainy day, the entire platform does not necessarily have a roof, so it is desirable to guide the user to a place with a roof. Therefore, if the server 3 knows that it is a rainy day, it can consider including the vehicle position corresponding to the place with a roof as recommendation information in output information.

  In addition, on rainy days, people concentrate on the place where the roof is located, so it is expected that vehicles near that place will not be seated easily. Therefore, on a rainy day, a vehicle different from a sunny day, that is, a seat that can be easily seated on a rainy day may be provided as recommended information.

  The weather information that can be included in the movement status information includes not only the weather but also the strength of wind and sunlight. For example, on windy days, a place with a windbreak may be provided as recommended information. Moreover, when the sunlight is strong, a place with a shade may be provided as recommended information.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, it is possible to provide optimal recommended information for a user who has designated a route based on a user request by including biological information and environmental information in the movement status information as necessary. User convenience is further improved.

(Third embodiment)
As described in the first and second embodiments described above, the output information generation unit 28 in the server 3 generates output information in which route information based on a user request and user movement status information are associated with each other. . For example, the user's request may simply specify a past date. In this case, the server 3 stores the movement status information of each user in the log information database 26 in association with the date for each user. When the user designates a specific date, the output information generation unit 28 in the server 3 reads out the movement status information of the user on that date from the log information database 26 and generates output information. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of output information in this case. In the example of FIG. 15, on June 16, 2014 designated by the user, the user performs movement 1 and movement 2 using transportation, and outputs the movement time, movement route, and seating availability information of movement 1 and movement 2. An example included in the information is shown.

In this way, if the user specifies a specific date in the past, the user's movement status information on that date can be provided as output information, so that the user can look back and remember events related to that date. Output information can be used as a clue.
Note that the user request may be only the date or a combination of the date and user attributes. The user attribute is arbitrary information unique to the user such as a destination, a route, sex, and age. The request combining the date and the user attribute is useful when acquiring the movement environment information of other users. For example, since it is possible to narrow down and acquire the movement status information of other users having the same user attributes as the user, it is possible to narrow down and acquire information on other users having attributes similar to the user (for example, elderly men). The output information can be generated by effectively using the movement status information of other users.
