Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an electronic device, a movement support information providing system, a movement support information providing method, and the like.

  In general, when walking that consumes physical strength such as mountain climbing or hiking is continuously performed, a plan according to the physical strength of the walking performer is important. For this reason, conventionally, when going to mountain climbing or hiking, materials such as a map of a destination and a guide book are prepared in advance, and an action plan is created with reference to these materials. In addition, in the action plan, a mountain climbing plan table including the distance to the destination, walking time, resting place, rest time, etc. is created, and actions are often performed in accordance with this action plan table.

  However, the weather in the mountains is easy to change and it is also necessary to modify the behavior in response to environmental changes. Here, in patent document 1, since the heat sensitive part protrudes outside from the case, the arm mounting | wearing type | formula environmental data measuring device with the good responsiveness with respect to the temperature change of external air is proposed. Patent Document 2 proposes a rainfall prediction device that increases the reliability of rainfall prediction by storing a certainty factor function related to rainfall based on past weather data. By using these devices, changes in the environment can be appropriately captured.

  However, it is necessary to consider the physical condition of the climber when it is necessary to make an important decision whether to continue climbing or descend according to changes in the mountain weather. For example, an action plan table created from materials such as maps and guidebooks is based on general human physical strength, and does not always match the physical strength of an actual climber. In addition, in the case of collective action, it may be difficult to say that it is desired to go down alone or continue to climb, and it is often impossible to objectively grasp the physical condition of each person. However, misjudgment can lead to serious accidents such as distress and the onset of altitude sickness.

  The devices described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 acquire data related to weather using means such as sensors, but do not generate data that takes into account the physical condition of climbers.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. According to some aspects of the present invention, not only for mountainous areas, but also for predicting a given weather fluctuation that occurs locally and disappears in a short time, it also provides movement support information that takes into account the physical condition of the user. It is possible to provide a movement support information providing system and a movement support information providing method to be generated.

  SUMMARY An advantage of some aspects of the invention is to solve at least a part of the problems described above, and the invention can be implemented as the following aspects or application examples.

[Application Example 1]
The information processing apparatus according to this application example includes an environment prediction unit that predicts an environment change of the route using environment information of a route along which the user moves, a prediction result of the environment prediction unit, and the biological information of the user. And a movement support information generation unit that generates movement support information including advice regarding the movement.

  According to the information processing apparatus according to this application example, by providing the environment prediction unit, it is possible to predict an environment change of a route along which the user moves (hereinafter simply referred to as a route) based on the environment information. In addition, by providing a movement support information generation unit, movement support information can be generated based on the user's biological information. That is, for example, in a mountainous area, it is possible not only to predict a given weather fluctuation that occurs locally and disappears in a short time, but also provides movement support information considering the physical condition of the user.

  Here, the environmental information is, for example, environmental data related to weather measured by an environmental measurement device arranged in a distributed manner in an area including a route. As the environmental data, for example, one or a plurality of data such as atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind speed, rainfall, air quality, etc. may be used. The biological information may be one or a plurality of data such as a heart rate, a pulse rate, a respiratory rate, a blood sugar level, a sweating amount, a body temperature, a salt concentration in blood, an electrocardiogram, an electromyogram, an electroencephalogram, and the like.

  According to the information processing apparatus according to this application example, the movement support information is generated after obtaining the biological information that can objectively know the physical condition of the user. Therefore, for example, when making an important determination as to whether or not to continue climbing, objective movement support information can be shown to the user to prevent the user from falling into a dangerous state.

[Application Example 2]
The information processing apparatus according to the application example includes a physical strength calculation unit that calculates the physical strength of the user using the biological information of the user, and the movement support information generation unit includes the prediction result of the environment prediction unit and the The movement support information may be generated using the physical strength calculated by the physical strength calculation unit.

[Application Example 3]
In the information processing apparatus according to the application example, the movement support information generation unit may generate movement support information that advises stop of movement when the physical strength calculated by the physical strength calculation unit is lower than a predetermined value. Good.

[Application Example 4]
In the information processing apparatus according to the application example, the movement support information generation unit is a distance that the user can move using the prediction result of the environment prediction unit and the physical strength calculated by the physical strength calculation unit. Calculate at least one of a movable distance and a movable time, which is a time during which the user can move, and use at least one of the movable distance and the movable time to continue or wait for movement. It may be advised to stop or turn back.

  The information processing apparatus according to these application examples includes a physical strength calculation unit that calculates the physical strength of the user using the biological information of the user. Therefore, it is possible to monitor the user's fatigue and warn at an appropriate timing before the user falls into a dangerous state.

The physical strength calculation unit, for example, digitizes the behavioral physical strength (particularly endurance) possessed by each user in accordance with a predetermined rule, and similarly calculates the physical strength by subtracting the digitized fatigue. Here, there are individual differences in fatigue, and there are also sensory parts. However, the physical strength calculation unit can calculate physical strength based on, for example, changes in heart rate and respiratory rate. The physical strength calculated by the physical strength calculation unit is the behavioral physical strength (especially endurance) remaining in the user, and decreases when the user gets tired and recovers by a break or the like.

  At this time, the physical strength calculation unit stores, for example, normal data or past exercise data, and may calculate more accurate physical strength by comparing with these. As a specific example, the physical strength calculation unit quantifies the normal physical strength, and subtracts the fatigue level obtained by changing the heart rate and respiratory rate from the normal physical strength. Physical strength can be calculated.

  Further, when the information processing apparatus includes an activity meter, it is possible to calculate more accurate physical strength using data such as a movement distance and a movement time from the start of movement. Further, the physical strength may be calculated more directly from the blood sugar level, the salt concentration in the blood, the electromyogram and the like.

  And a movement assistance information generation part may produce | generate movement assistance information using the prediction result of an environment prediction part, and the physical strength from a physical strength calculation part. For example, when it is predicted from the prediction result of the environment prediction unit that the temperature will drop sharply and it will rain, it can be determined that the physical strength will further decrease because the oxygen concentration in the blood will decrease. At this time, the movement support information generation unit may generate movement support information that advises cancellation of mountain climbing (an example of movement), for example.

  In addition, the movement support information generation unit may generate movement support information that advises the suspension of mountain climbing immediately in order to avoid danger when the physical strength from the physical strength calculation unit falls below a predetermined value. Even if it is not, if you decide that it is better to stop climbing, you may give further advice as to whether you should descend immediately or wait for recovery of physical strength on the spot. The movement support information generation unit calculates at least one of a movable distance that is the distance that the user can move in the future and a movable time that is the time that the user can move, and gives advice on whether to descend or wait. You may go.

[Application Example 5]
In the information processing apparatus according to the application example described above, the information processing apparatus includes an activity data acquisition unit that acquires the activity data of the user, and the physical fitness calculation unit uses the activity data acquired by the activity data acquisition unit to calculate the physical fitness Corrections may be made.

  The information processing apparatus according to this application example includes the activity data acquisition unit that acquires the activity data of the user. And the physical strength calculation part can correct the calculated physical strength using this activity data. Therefore, for example, more accurate physical strength can be calculated based on data such as a moving distance and a moving time from the start of mountain climbing. For example, when the travel time from the start of mountain climbing is long, the physical strength tends to decrease compared to the case where it does not. By making such corrections, it is possible to calculate accurate physical fitness.

  An electronic apparatus according to this application example includes the information processing apparatus that can predict a change in the environment of a route based on environmental information and can generate movement support information based on a user's biological information. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately predict the environmental change of the route, and to allow the information processing apparatus to present more accurate movement support information to the user.

  The electronic device may be, for example, a wristwatch, a terminal such as a smartphone or a mobile phone, or other electronic device.

[Application Example 7]

[Application Example 8]
In the movement support information providing system according to the application example, an installation interval of the environmental measurement device installed in a high altitude region is narrower than an installation interval of the environmental measurement device installed in a low altitude region. Also good.

  According to the movement support information providing system according to these application examples, environmental conditions are analyzed in real time using environmental information measured by each of a plurality of environmental measurement devices distributed and arranged in an area including a route. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately predict the environmental change of the route, and to allow the information processing apparatus to present more accurate movement support information to the user.

1. 1. First embodiment 1-1. Overview of Movement Support Information Providing System FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of an outline of a movement support information providing system. A mountain climbing route 17 (an example of a route) in FIG. 1 is a mountain road along which a mountain climber 7 (an example of a user) moves. In the movement support information providing system according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of environment measuring devices 2 (displayed by white circles) are several tens to several hundreds of meters in an area including a mountain climbing route 17. Distributed at intervals. The environment measuring device 2 is disposed on, for example, a mountain hut 18 or a pillar (pole 19). Each environment measuring device 2 may be arranged along the mountain climbing route 17 or not.

  Moreover, the environment measuring device 2 does not need to be arranged at a uniform density, and may be sparse or dense depending on the location. For example, the density of the environmental measurement device 2 may be high around the mountain climbing route 17, and the density of the environmental measurement device 2 may be low at other locations. Also, the mountain weather changes more easily as the altitude increases. Therefore, as will be described later, when the environment measuring device 2 is installed in an area where the altitude is high, the interval may be narrower (that is, the density is higher) than when it is installed in an area where the altitude is low.

  These environmental measurement devices 2 form an environmental measurement network in an area including the mountain climbing route 17. Each environmental measurement device 2 measures environmental data such as the current weather and transmits it to a server (not shown). .

1-2. Configuration of mobility support information provision system [Overall configuration]
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the movement support information providing system according to the first embodiment. The movement support information providing system of the present embodiment may omit or change some of the components (each unit) in FIG. 3 or may have a configuration in which other components are added.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the movement support information providing system 1 according to the first embodiment is mounted on a plurality of environment measuring devices 2, a server 4, a plurality of information terminals 5 carried by each climber, and each climber. It includes a biological information sensor 6 (6a, 6b, etc.) that communicates with the information terminal 5 in a wired or wireless manner.

  The environment measuring device 2 is distributed in the area including the mountain climbing route 17 and measures the environment such as weather at each point in the area in real time, and the measured environment data (environment information) is transmitted to the communication network 3 (Internet). Or to the server 4 via a LAN or the like.

  The biological information sensor 6 is a sensor that acquires the biological information of the climber. The biological information is information such as heart rate, pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood sugar level, sweating volume, body temperature, blood salinity, electrocardiogram, electromyogram, electroencephalogram, and the like. The biological information sensor 6 is a sensor that acquires one or a plurality of pieces of biological information of these various types of biological information, and is attached to a position where necessary biological information can be acquired. Part or all of the biological information sensor 6 may be integrated with the information terminal 5.

The information terminal 5 acquires the climber's biometric information from the biometric information sensor 6 and transmits it to the server 4 via the communication network 3.

  The server 4 (an example of an information processing device) receives environmental data from the environmental measurement device 2 via the communication network 3 and receives location information, biological information, and the like of the climber from the information terminal 5. Then, the server 4 analyzes the received information to generate movement support information and transmits it to the information terminal 5.

  The information terminal 5 receives the movement support information and notifies the climber 7 by display or sound.

[Configuration of environmental measurement equipment]
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the environment measuring device 2 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the environmental measurement device 2 includes an atmospheric pressure sensor 10, a temperature sensor 11, a humidity sensor 12, a wind direction / wind speed sensor 13, a rainfall sensor 14, an air quality sensor 15, and a transmission unit 16. Prepare. However, the environment measuring device 2 may not include a part of the various sensors described above, and conversely, may include another sensor (such as a radiation sensor).

  The atmospheric pressure sensor 10 is a sensor that measures ambient atmospheric pressure. For example, the lower the atmospheric pressure, the lower the oxygen absorption rate of the climber, so that the climber tends to get tired and the physical strength decreases.

  The temperature sensor 11 is a sensor that measures the ambient temperature (air temperature). For example, the higher the temperature (air temperature), the higher the amount of sweat of the climber. Therefore, physical strength is reduced. Conversely, the lower the temperature (air temperature), the more the climber's body temperature is deprived, so the climber consumes calories to maintain the body temperature. Therefore, the physical strength may also be reduced at this time.

  The humidity sensor 12 is a sensor that measures ambient humidity. For example, the higher the humidity, the higher the amount of sweat of the climber, so that the climber becomes dehydrated and the physical strength decreases.

  The wind direction / wind speed sensor 13 is a sensor that measures the wind direction and wind speed in the vicinity. For example, the stronger the headwind, the greater the resistance that the climber receives, so the climber's physical strength decreases.

  The rainfall sensor 14 is a sensor that measures the rainfall per unit time in the surrounding area. For example, if the amount of rainfall is high when the temperature is low, the climber's body temperature is lost, and the climber consumes calories to maintain the body temperature. Therefore, the climber's physical strength may be reduced.

The air quality sensor 15 is a sensor that measures the concentration of fine particles (smoke, sand, pollen, etc.) and nitrogen oxides (NO _x ) in the surrounding air. For example, the higher the concentration of fine particles or the like present in the air, the lower the oxygen concentration, so that climbers are more likely to get tired and physical strength is reduced.

  Each environment measuring device 2 measures the environment such as weather in real time with a period of, for example, a second order, and the atmospheric pressure sensor 10, the temperature sensor 11, the humidity sensor 12, the wind direction / wind speed sensor 13, the rainfall sensor 14, and the air quality sensor 15 The environmental data (atmospheric pressure data, temperature data, humidity data, wind direction / wind speed data, rainfall amount data, air quality data) measured by the above is transmitted to the server 4 by the transmission unit 16.

  Even if the environmental measuring device 2 does not include the wind direction / velocity sensor 13, the atmospheric pressure gradient between any two points (between the two environmental measuring devices 2) (= the atmospheric pressure difference between the two points / 2). The distance between points) can be calculated, and the current wind direction and wind speed can be estimated from the distribution of the atmospheric pressure gradient.

  Various arrangements can be adopted for the arrangement of the environmental measurement device. For example, in a mountainous area as shown in FIG. 5 (A), first, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), measuring devices (indicated by white circles) are distributed and arranged at equal intervals of several tens to several hundreds of meters. There can be. At this time, since the distance between the measuring devices is determined, the processing load in the calculation based on the measurement data is reduced.

  On the other hand, FIG. 5 (C) shows an arrangement form in which the interval is narrower (that is, the density is higher) when the environment measuring device is installed in a high altitude region than when it is installed in a low altitude region. Yes. At this time, as the altitude rises, the weather in the mountains tends to change, but it is possible to capture the change reliably.

  In addition, about arrangement | positioning of an environmental measurement apparatus, it is also possible to employ | adopt arrangement | positioning etc. which increase a density, for example, so that it is close to the mountaineering route 17 of a mountain climber other than FIG.

  The environmental data acquisition unit 21 continuously acquires environmental data together with the identification ID from the environmental measurement device 2 via the communication unit 34, and sequentially stores the storage unit 30 in association with the identification ID assigned to each environmental measurement device 2. Save the file.

  The environment prediction unit 22 performs a process of predicting the environment of the area including the mountain climbing route from the time series of the environment data acquired by the environment data acquisition unit 21. Specifically, the environment prediction unit 22 comprehensively changes the environment at a measurement point of the environment measurement device from a predetermined time (preferably a time before the climber starts climbing) to the present. Analyzes and predicts the environment at the measurement point at a predetermined time interval until a predetermined time later (for example, after an hour of 10 minutes).

  For example, if the temperature distribution around the top of the mountain is 30 minutes ago, the distribution is as shown in FIG. 8 (A), and the current distribution is as shown in FIG. 8 (B). Although the temperatures of A, B, and D have not changed, the temperatures of areas C, E, F, and G have decreased. In such a case, for example, after 30 minutes, the environment predicting unit 22 does not change the temperatures of the areas A, B, and D as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8 (D), the temperature in Areas A, B, and D does not change and the temperatures in Areas C, E, F, and G further decrease after one hour. It may be predicted.

  The terminal data acquisition unit 27 continuously acquires the climber's location information, biological information, activity data, and the like from the information terminal 5 through the communication unit 34 together with the identification ID (terminal ID), and assigns each information terminal 5 A process of storing in the storage unit 30 in association with the identified ID is performed.

  The physical strength calculation unit 28 performs processing for calculating the physical strength of the climber. In order to objectively grasp the physical condition of each person, the physical strength calculation unit 28 acquires the climber's biological information from the terminal data acquisition unit 27 and calculates the physical strength. For example, the physical strength may be calculated by a method of subtracting points when a specific condition is satisfied. For example, points may be subtracted if there is an increase in heart rate, pulse rate, respiration rate, decrease in blood sugar level, increase in sweating, increase in body temperature, decrease in muscle activity in the electromyogram, and the like.

  Here, the activity data acquisition unit 29 receives activity data such as the number of steps of the climber from the information terminal 5. And the physical strength calculation part 28 may acquire activity data from the activity data acquisition part 29, and may correct physical strength. For example, the points of physical strength may be further subtracted according to the number of steps of the climber. In addition, when the climber's travel time is received as activity data, the points of physical fitness may be increased or decreased according to the travel time. For example, if it is known that mountain climbing has just started from the travel time, it may be determined that the increase in the heart rate or breathing rate of the climber is temporary, and the reduced points may be cancelled.

  The movement support information generation unit 23 generates movement support information including advice on continuation or cancellation of mountain climbing from the prediction result of the environment prediction unit 22 and the physical strength calculated by the physical strength calculation unit 28. Advice to stop climbing, etc., is to recommend Shimoyama (stop advice and advice to turn back), and to recommend a break for bivouac and recovery of physical strength (standby advice). On the other hand, the advice for continuing climbing includes not only simply continuing, but also recommending that the pace be reduced although it is not necessary to stop climbing. In the case of advice for continuing climbing, there is no need for specific display or sound output.

  The movement support information generation unit 23 first determines whether the physical strength from the physical strength calculation unit 28 is less than a predetermined value. For example, when the climber continues climbing and the physical strength falls below a predetermined value even though the mountain climbing has already been advised, the mountain climbing may be strongly recommended again. The predetermined value may be, for example, a numerical value of 120% of the physical strength at which the climber cannot move. The predetermined value may be determined in advance for each climber based on the normal biological information and stored in the storage unit 30.

  At this time, the movement support information generation unit 23 acquires a prediction result about the environment at the current and future positions of the climber from the environment prediction unit 22, adjusts the physical strength from the prediction result, and compares it with a predetermined value. May be. For example, in consideration of physical wear due to sweating, an adjustment method can be used in which points are subtracted according to the temperature when the temperature is high, and points are subtracted according to the wind speed even in the case of headwinds.

  Furthermore, the movement support information generation unit 23 determines the time (movable time) until the climber's physical strength reaches a limit where the physical strength of the mountain climber cannot be moved based on the prediction result from the environment prediction unit 22 and the physical strength from the physical strength calculation unit 28. You may calculate. And the movement assistance information generation part 23 calculates the distance (movable distance) which a climber can move based on a movement time and speed by calculating the speed of a climber from the time series of a climber's positional information. You may ask for it. By determining the travelable time and travelable distance, it is possible to appropriately advise whether to descend or wait, rather than simply recommending that the climbing be stopped.

  For example, when a sudden change in weather such as a sudden thunderstorm is predicted from the environment prediction unit 22, the movement support information generation unit 23 compares the distance between the climber's movable distance and the route of the descent mountain, and the movable time and the weather Compared with the time until the change, can advise whether to descent or wait based on the comparison result.

  The communication control unit 24 performs processing for controlling data communication and the like with the environment measurement device 2 and the information terminal 5 performed via the communication unit 34.

  The display control unit 25 performs processing for controlling display on the display unit 38. In particular, in the present embodiment, the display control unit 25 performs a process of displaying the movement support information generated by the movement support information generation unit 23 on the display unit 38. The display control unit 25 may display the physical strength generated by the physical strength calculation unit 28 and the activity data acquired by the activity data acquisition unit 29 on the display unit 38.

  The sound output control unit 26 performs processing for causing the sound output unit 39 to output various sounds. For example, the sound output control unit 26 may perform a process of causing the sound output unit 39 to output an alarm sound or a sound when the movement support information has changed.

The recording medium 32 is a computer-readable recording medium. In particular, in the present embodiment, a program for causing the computer to function as each of the above-described units is stored. Then, the processing unit (CPU) 20 according to the present embodiment executes a program stored in the recording medium 32, whereby an environment data acquisition unit 21, an environment prediction unit 22, a movement support information generation unit 23, and a communication control unit. 24, a display control unit 25, a sound output control unit 26, a terminal data acquisition unit 27, a physical strength calculation unit 28, and an activity data acquisition unit 29. Alternatively, the program is received from another server connected to a wired or wireless communication network via the communication unit 34 or the like, the received program is stored in the storage unit 30 or the recording medium 32, and the program is executed. It may be. However, environment data acquisition unit 21, environment prediction unit 22, movement support information generation unit 23, communication control unit 24, display control unit 25, sound output control unit 26, terminal data acquisition unit 27, physical fitness calculation unit 28, activity data acquisition At least a part of the unit 29 may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 waits until a process start operation is performed by a user of the server 4 (for example, a disaster relief officer) (N in S10), and when the start operation is performed (Y in S10) First, an instruction to start measurement is given to the information terminal 5 via the communication network 3 (S12).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 receives the environmental data from the environmental measurement device 2 and stores it in the storage unit 30 (S14).

  The processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 waits until receiving a measurement start instruction from the server 4 (N in S50). When receiving a measurement start instruction (Y in S50), first, the position information of the climber And transmits the terminal ID and position information to the server 4 (S52).

  The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 receives the terminal ID and the climber's position information from the information terminal 5 and stores them in the storage unit 30 (S16).

  The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 calculates physical strength based on the climber's biological information (S20).

  Then, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 acquires the climber's activity data from the activity sensor 61, and transmits the terminal ID and activity data to the server 4 (S56).

  The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 receives the terminal ID and the climber activity data from the information terminal 5 and stores them in the storage unit 30 (S22).

  The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 corrects the physical strength based on the climber activity data (S24).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 predicts environmental changes around the mountain climbing route from the time series of environmental data up to the present (environment data stored in order in step S14) (S26).

And the process part (CPU) 20 of the server 4 produces | generates movement assistance information from the prediction result of an environmental change, and the calculated physical strength. At this time, first, it is determined whether the physical strength is less than a predetermined value in spite of having advised to stop climbing before (S28). If this is the case (Y in S28), it is expected that the climber will continue to climb the mountain despite the advice to stop climbing. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents such as distress, movement support information indicating that mountain climbing should be stopped immediately is generated and transmitted to the information terminal 5 (S30).

  At this time, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 receives the movement support information from the server 4 and displays a screen 100 as shown in FIG. 11 on the display unit 70 (S60). In the screen 100 of FIG. 11, the physical strength is represented by a black square, and in this example, the value is almost close to the limit. Along with a warning requesting that mountain climbing be stopped immediately, the movement distance and the amount of activity quantified according to a predetermined rule are also shown.

  If the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 does not advise stopping mountain climbing, or if the physical strength is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (N in S28), the movement support is performed by comprehensively considering environmental changes and physical strength. Generate information.

  Here, it is assumed that it is predicted that heavy rain will occur about one hour after environmental change. The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 advises to stop the mountain climbing, but determines whether to climb down or to bivoke in accordance with the climber's physical strength by the following process.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 calculates a movable time that is a time until the climber reaches a limit at which the physical strength of the mountain climber becomes unmovable (S32).

  The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 calculates the current speed of the climber from the time series of the position information of the climber up to the present (position information sequentially stored in step S16) (S33).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 calculates a movable distance that is a distance that the climber can move based on the movable time and speed (S34).

  The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 calculates whether it can move by comparing the distance between the movable distance and the route of the descent mountain. Even if it is determined that it is possible to move, it will also calculate whether it can be reached within about one hour when heavy rain occurs. Then, based on at least one of the distance comparison result and the time comparison result, it is determined whether or not descent is possible (S35).

  If the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines that descent is possible (Y in S35), it generates movement support information that advises the descent and transmits it to the information terminal 5 (S36).

  If the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines that descent is impossible (N in S35), it generates movement support information that advises bivouac, for example, and transmits it to the information terminal 5 (S37).

  At this time, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 receives the movement support information from the server 4 and displays a screen 100 as shown in FIG. 12, for example, on the display unit 70 (S60). In the screen 100 of FIG. 12, a message is displayed that a place where bivouac can be secured within 2 km should be secured.

  If the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines that the mountain climbing can be continued, the processing unit (CPU) 20 generates movement support information including a message indicating that the pace should be reduced according to the pace at which the climber moves. The information terminal 5 may be transmitted.

  The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 performs a step every time a predetermined time Δt (for example, 1 minute) elapses (Y in S40) until the user of the server 4 performs a process end operation (N in S38). When the process of S14 to S37 is repeated and the end operation is performed (Y of S38), the information terminal 5 is instructed to end the measurement (S42), and the process ends.

  On the other hand, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 performs a step every time a predetermined time Δt (for example, 1 minute) elapses (Y in S64) until a measurement end instruction is received from the server 4 (N in S62). When the process of S52 to S60 is repeated and an instruction to end the measurement is received (Y of S62), the process ends.

3. Modification [Modification 1]
In the first embodiment, the server 4 and the information terminal 5 in the second embodiment directly communicate with each environment measuring device 2 to acquire environment data. However, the environment measuring devices 2 communicate with each other ad hoc. The environmental data may be collected in one environmental measurement device 2 and the environmental measurement device 2 may transmit the environmental data to the server 4 or the information terminal 5 in a lump.

  In this way, it is possible to reduce the overhead of the server 4 or the information terminal 5 due to the switching of the communication target and improve the communication speed of the environmental data.

[Modification 2]
In the second embodiment, each information terminal 5 communicates with each environmental measurement device 2 to acquire environmental data. However, similarly to the first embodiment, the server 4 receives environmental data from each environmental measurement device 2. Each information terminal 5 may acquire environmental data from the server 4.

  The above-described embodiments and modifications are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, it is possible to appropriately combine each embodiment and each modification.

  For example, the user is not limited to moving in mountains. The movement support information providing system can predict a given meteorological change after descent and provide movement support information in consideration of the physical condition of the climber. Moreover, the movement assistance information provision system may be used for the movement of the user who does not climb the mountain on a daily flat ground.

  At this time, the user may be an elderly person who is difficult to move compared to a young person. For example, in a season in which guerrilla heavy rain occurs, it is important for an elderly user to predict a given weather fluctuation that occurs locally and disappears in a short time. The movement support information provision system predicts weather fluctuations for the route to the destination set by the user, and continues, waits (for example, breaks), and stops (for example, by taxi) based on the calculated physical strength of the user. For example, and returning home (for example, walking home).

  The present invention includes configurations that are substantially the same as the configurations described in the embodiments (for example, configurations that have the same functions, methods, and results, or configurations that have the same objects and effects). In addition, the invention includes a configuration in which a non-essential part of the configuration described in the embodiment is replaced.
