  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiments) will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the subsequent drawings, the same numbers or symbols are assigned to the same elements throughout the description of the embodiments. In the functional configuration diagram, an arrow between functional blocks represents a data flow direction or a process flow direction.

(Basic concept / Basic structure)
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the concept of a dispatch service by a dispatch server in a traffic system to which the present invention is applied. The purpose of the transportation system 1 is to operate the vehicle C in a predetermined area, improve convenience of transportation in the area, stimulate demand for movement of people and goods in the area, and activate the area. It is what. The vehicle C in the transportation system 1 may be a vehicle owned by an organization that operates the transportation system 1, may be a vehicle shared by a plurality of residents in a predetermined region, or may be a predetermined region. It may be a vehicle owned by an inhabitant or company. It may be a public transportation in a predetermined area.

  The traffic system 1 includes at least a user terminal 20 operated by a user, and a dispatch server 10 connected to the user terminal 20 via a network. The user is an event initiator A who transmits event information (including information indicating the location, time, purpose of the meeting, etc.) to hold the event at one time, and other users start the event at another time. Participant B participating in the event. In the following description, an example in which a certain user is the event initiator A and another user is the participant B will be described. The user terminal 20 operated by the event initiator A is also referred to as an event initiator terminal 20A, and the user terminal 20 operated by the participant B is also referred to as a participant terminal 20B.

  The request service by the vehicle allocation server 10 which is an example of the vehicle allocation device is provided in the transportation system 1 as described above, and the participant B who participates in the event that the event initiator A has started is assigned to the place where the event is held and the date and time. The vehicle C is dispatched so as to be carried.

  Specifically, for example, when the event initiator A wants to gather local residents and hold a luncheon, the event initiator terminal 20A indicates the location, date and time, the purpose of the meeting (for example, a luncheon), etc. Event information including the information is transmitted to the dispatch server 10. The event information must at least specify the location and date / time.

  The dispatch server 10 selects the user terminal 20 that distributes the event information based on the event information, and distributes the event information to the selected user terminal 20. For example, if the purpose of the meeting is, for example, a luncheon and the place is the home of the event initiator A, the vehicle allocation server 10 is the user terminal of the user in which the address of the neighborhood of the event initiator A is registered 20 is selected and event information is distributed.

  Then, the user who has received the event information becomes participant B by transmitting participation request information indicating an intention to participate in the event from the user terminal 20 to the vehicle allocation server 10.

  The vehicle allocation server 10 selects the participant B who has transmitted the participation request information at the location and date and time indicated by the event information based on the event information transmitted by the event initiator terminal 20A and the participation request information transmitted by the participant terminal 20B. For example, the vehicle C is dispatched so that it can be sent from home.

  Further, when it is known that an event participant has time, an additional event may be preferentially set for the event. In other words, although not shown in the drawing, it further includes a participant free time information registration means, and if the free time information of the participant is registered together with the time and place of the event, the event is recorded based on the free time information. An additional event may be set. By doing in this way, it is possible to preferentially propose an additional event utilizing the spare time of the participant before and after the event that cannot move the time.

  Thus, according to the vehicle allocation server 10 in the transportation system 1, it is possible for a certain user to collect other users and carry them to the venue simply by transmitting event information indicating that he wants to hold a luncheon, for example. Become. Therefore, it becomes possible to deepen communication between local residents.

In recent years, elderly couples and single-person households are increasing, and in such households, there is a shortage of communication represented by eating alone. Moreover, life support and care prevention are limited in scope covered by care insurance compared to care. In addition, some elderly people have resistance in day service centers, but services provided for each household are expensive.
According to the vehicle allocation server 10 in the transportation system 1 in the present embodiment, for example, it is possible to provide a life support service or a care prevention service by collecting a plurality of people.

(Functional configuration)
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of a dispatch server, a user terminal, and a supporter terminal in the transportation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. The transportation system 1 operates a vehicle in a predetermined area, and is connected to a vehicle allocation server 10 that distributes a vehicle based on event information and participation request information received from a user, and the vehicle allocation server 10 via a network. A user terminal 20 operated by the user, and a supporter terminal 30 that supports the user in a predetermined area. In the following description, the user terminal 20 operated by a user who has become an event initiator is also referred to as an event initiator terminal, and the user terminal 20 that is operated by a user who has become a participant is also referred to as a participant terminal.

(Configuration of the dispatch server 10)
The dispatch server 10 includes an event information receiving means 101, a vehicle usage time zone setting means 102, an event adding means 103, a selection means 104, a delivery means 105, a participation desire collecting means 106, a dispatching means 107, a user A database (hereinafter referred to as a user DB) 120.

  The event information receiving unit 101 receives event information and identification information for identifying the user from the user terminal 20 operated by the user who is the event initiator. The event information includes information indicating the location, time, purpose of the meeting, and the like. As the event information, the user who is the event initiator may operate the user terminal 20 to input information indicating the place, time, purpose of the meeting, and the like. Further, the event information is, for example, a place where the user terminal 20 is set in advance (for example, the user's home), by simply touching the button “Open luncheon” displayed on the user terminal 20. Event information including information indicating the time (for example, 12:00 on the day) and the purpose of the meeting (for example, a luncheon) may be generated and transmitted to the dispatch server 10.

  The vehicle use time zone setting unit 102 sets a time zone in which the vehicle is used based on the event information received by the event information reception unit 101. Further, the vehicle use time zone setting unit 102 sets the time zone in which the vehicle is used based on the event information including the additional event in the event indicated by the event information received by the event information receiving unit 101 by the event addition unit 103. Set again. Here, the time zone in which the vehicle is used is the time from when the vehicle starts to be used in an event based on certain event information (boarding time) until it can be used in an event based on other event information.

  The event adding means 103 indicates the event information received by the event information receiving means 101 when the plurality of event information received by the event information receiving means 101 cannot be dispatched in the time zone set by the vehicle usage time zone setting means 102. The event includes an additional event different from the event before or after the event. If the vehicle cannot be dispatched during the time period set here, there are multiple requests, and if the time period overlaps at least partially, or if the travel distance is too far away, the number of vehicles will be the number of requests. There are cases where it is insufficient compared to other cases.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the processing of the vehicle use time zone setting means and the event addition means of the dispatch server in the traffic system according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, when the event information receiving unit 101 receives, for example, three pieces of event information (event information 1, event information 2, event information 3), the vehicle usage time zone setting unit 102 Is set to 11: 0 to 11:30 and 13: 0 to 13:30 as the time zone in which the vehicle is used, and 11:30 to 12:10 as the time zone in which the vehicle is used for event information 2 00 and 13:30 to 14:00 are set, and for event information 3, 11: 0 to 11:30 and 13: 0 to 13:30 are set as time zones in which the vehicle is used (the upper part in FIG. 3). "When setting the time zone when the vehicle is used"). In this case, in the event information 1 and the event information 3, the time zones set by the vehicle usage time zone setting unit 102 overlap. If the vehicle is dispatched in this state, each vehicle is required for three event information (event information 1, event information 2, event information 3), and three vehicles are required.

  In such a case, the event adding unit 103 includes, in the event information 1, an additional event “song” that is different from “day party” before the event “day party” at the time of reception by the event information receiving unit 101. In addition, the event information 3 includes an additional event “movie viewing party” that is different from the “day party” after the event “day party” at the time of reception by the event information receiving unit 101. Thereafter, the vehicle use time zone setting means 102 sets 9:30 to 10:00 and 13:00:00 to 13:30 as the time zone in which the vehicle is used for the event information 1 including the additional event “song”. The event information 3 including the additional event “movie viewing party” is set again to 11: 0 to 11:30 and 14:30 to 15:00 as the time zone in which the vehicle is used (see FIG. Lower middle 3 “When resetting the time zone when the vehicle is used”). Thereby, in the event information 1 and the event information 3, the overlap of the time zone in “when the vehicle is used for setting the time zone” is eliminated. For example, the same vehicle as the vehicle dispatched to the event information 1 is changed to the event information 3. Therefore, it is possible to use two vehicles for dispatching to three pieces of event information (event information 1, event information 2, event information 3).

  In the above example, the case where the vehicle cannot be dispatched due to at least partly overlapping time zones has been explained. However, when the vehicle cannot be dispatched for other reasons (the travel distance is too far away or the number of vehicles is insufficient). In other cases, the allocation can be adjusted by setting additional items before and after the event. Further, when the vacant time information (margin time information) of the participant is registered, the additional event may be preferentially set based on the vacant time before and after the event. For example, when there is a request for holding an event from a plurality of groups on the same day, an additional event may be set with priority from a group in which free time information is registered. In addition, the location of the event is not limited to one location, and a plurality of location candidates may be registered. For example, registration such as “I want to have a dinner party from 12:00 at the home of Mr. A or Mr. B” is also possible. In this case, an additional event and a route corresponding to the additional event are presented for each event location candidate.

  The selecting unit 104 selects the user terminal 20 that distributes the event information based on the event information received by the event information receiving unit 101 or the event information including the additional event by the event adding unit 103. Specifically, the selection unit 104 refers to the user DB 120 based on various types of information included in the event information, and selects the user terminal 20 that distributes the event information.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing data stored in the user DB in a tabular format. In the user DB 120, a user ID, which is an example of identification information for identifying a user, is associated with the name of the user, the address of the user, the composition of the housemate, cooking skills, and the like. In addition, in the user DB 120, data on local residents such as pedometer (registered trademark) data, meal data, conversation data, and the like are accumulated, and supporters who support the local residents (for example, businesses providing day services) Or medical institutions). By sharing such data related to the user's health with the supporter, the supporter can also propose an event based on the user's health (transmit event information).

  Returning to FIG. 2, the selecting unit 104 refers to the user DB 120, and for example, an address is stored in the location associated with the information included in the event information or the user identification information transmitted together with the event information. A nearby user or a user with a relatively small number of people who live together (for example, two or less) is extracted, and the user terminal 20 of the user is selected as a user terminal 20 that distributes event information.

  The distribution unit 105 distributes at least event information indicating the date and place of the event to the user terminal 20 (participant terminal). Specifically, the distribution unit 105 distributes event information to the user terminal 20 selected by the selection unit 104.

  The distribution unit 105 also distributes event information to the supporter terminal 30. Specifically, the distribution unit 105 refers to the user DB 120 (see FIG. 4) based on the event information and the identification information transmitted together with the event information, and determines a predetermined condition (for example, the event initiator's cooking skill “none”). ), The event information is also distributed to the supporter terminal 30. Thereby, for example, even those who cannot cook their own food, it is possible to hold a lunch party that invites a third party by receiving support from a supporter.

  The participation desire collecting means 106 receives participation desire information indicating the intention to participate in the event from the user terminal 20. Further, the participation desire collecting means 106 refers to the user DB 120 (see FIG. 4) based on the received participation desire information, and participant information (for example, number of people, name, address, Boarding scheduled position information, scheduled getting off position information, etc.) are transmitted to the event initiator terminal and the supporter terminal 30. Thereby, the event initiator and the supporter who supports the event can grasp the information (for example, the number of users, etc.) of the users who participate in the event and prepare for the event.

  The vehicle allocation means 107 distributes the vehicle based on the participation request information received by the participation desire collection means 106. Further, the vehicle allocation means 107 distributes the vehicle based on the time zone set by the vehicle usage time zone setting means 102. Specifically, the vehicle allocation means 107 travels around each address of the user who is a participant based on the participation request information, and distributes the vehicle so that the user can be carried at the place and date of the event. In addition, the vehicle allocation means 107 transmits vehicle allocation information indicating that the vehicle allocation has been completed to the user terminal 20 that is a participant. Further, the vehicle allocation means 107 allocates the same vehicle to the plurality of event information if the vehicle usage time zones do not overlap.

(Configuration of user terminal 20)
Returning to FIG. 2, the user terminal 20 is configured with devices suitable for each user (for example, portable terminals, smartphones, tablet terminals, personal computers, game devices, televisions that can be connected to a network, information appliances such as a refrigerator, etc. )ing. The user terminal 20 may be a device as described above, or may be a control device capable of communicating information with the plurality of devices via a local network such as a home.

  The user terminal 20 includes user terminal transmission / reception means 21, user terminal control means 22, and user terminal input / output means 23. When the user becomes an event initiator, the user terminal transmission / reception means 21 transmits event information and identification information for identifying the user under the control of the user terminal control means 22 and receives participation request information. Further, when the user becomes a participant, the user terminal transmission / reception means 21 receives event information and vehicle allocation information from the vehicle allocation server 10 and transmits participation request information to the vehicle allocation server 10 under the control of the user terminal control unit 22. To do.

  The user terminal control means 22 performs a control of receiving a user operation and displaying a screen for transmitting the above various information to the vehicle allocation server 10 on the user terminal input / output means 23. The user terminal input / output unit 23 is configured by, for example, a touch panel, receives a user operation under the control of the user terminal control unit 22, and displays a screen for transmitting the various types of information to the vehicle allocation server 10.

  FIG. 5 is an example of an operation reception screen for accepting a user operation displayed on the user terminal input / output means. The example illustrated in FIG. 5 is an example of an operation reception screen that allows local residents to easily hold a luncheon as an event and easily participate in a luncheon held by another user. On the operation reception screen shown in FIG. 5, a hold button 23 </ b> A and a participation button 23 </ b> B occupying substantially half of the display area of the user terminal input / output means 23 are displayed. If the user wants to hold a luncheon, the user touches the hold button 23A, and if he wants to participate in the luncheon, he touches the participation button 23B.

  When the hold button 23 </ b> A is touched, the user terminal control unit 22 transmits event information and identification information for identifying the user to the vehicle allocation server 10 by the user terminal transmission / reception unit 21. In addition, when the participation button 23 </ b> B is touched, the user terminal control unit 22 transmits the participation request information and identification information for identifying the user to the vehicle allocation server 10 by the user terminal transmission / reception unit 21.

  In this way, the operation acceptance screen is limited to a specific function, and the operation buttons (hold button 23A, participation button 23B) by the user are made large (for example, approximately half the size of the display area of the user terminal input / output means 23). indicate. Thereby, it is understandable at a glance and can be operated easily even if a person who is not used to handling electronic devices such as smartphones can operate this operation reception screen. Therefore, even those who are not accustomed to handling electronic devices such as smartphones can easily use the service of the dispatch server 10 in the transportation system 1 to hold events themselves and participate in events held by other users.

  The example shown in FIG. 5 is an example pursuing ease of operation, and the event information operation acceptance screen is not limited to this, and a screen on which the location, the purpose of the event, the date, etc. can be input more specifically. It may be.

(Configuration of supporter terminal 30)
Returning to FIG. 2, the supporter terminal 30 is a computer system or a terminal of a support provider that supports the user (for example, a provider that provides a day service). In the transportation system 1, the supporter terminal 30 may be omitted if the event can be realized only by the event initiator and the participant who are users.

  The supporter terminal 30 includes supporter terminal transmission / reception means 31, supporter terminal control means 32, and supporter terminal input / output means 33. The supporter terminal transmission / reception unit 31 receives event information and participant information from the vehicle allocation server 10 under the control of the supporter terminal control unit 32.

  The supporter terminal control unit 32 receives an operation of a support provider and performs control to display a screen based on the event information and the participant information on the supporter terminal input / output unit 33. Under the control of the supporter terminal control unit 32, the supporter terminal input / output unit 33 receives an operation of a support business operator and displays a screen based on event information and participant information.

  In the description of the present embodiment, an example in which the user transmits event information to the dispatch server 10 has been described. However, the event information is not limited to the user, and the supporter may transmit the event information to the vehicle allocation server 10 through the supporter terminal 30. In this case, supporters that are day service providers and medical institutions can deepen communication with each other while managing the health of local residents by proposing events based on the health aspects of local residents. Is possible.

  The above-described functional configuration of the present system is merely an example, and one functional block (database and function processing unit) may be divided, or a plurality of functional blocks may be configured as one functional block. Each function processing unit includes a computer program (for example, a central processing unit (CPU) built in the device) stored in a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a flash memory, an SSD (Solid State Drive), or a hard disk. The basic software, the above-described character generation application, etc.) are read out and realized by a computer program executed by the CPU. That is, in each function processing unit, this computer program reads and writes necessary data such as a table from a database (DB; Data Base) stored in a storage device or a storage area on a memory, and may be related in some cases. This is realized by controlling hardware (for example, an input / output device, a display device, and a communication interface device). Further, the database (DB) in the embodiment of the present invention may be a commercial database, but it simply means a collection of tables and files, and the internal structure of the database itself is not questioned.

(Processing flow)
In the subsequent processing flow diagrams (flowcharts), the processing order of each step may be changed as long as the relationship between the input and output of each step is not impaired. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a vehicle allocation processing flow executed by the vehicle allocation server according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the following example, a case where the time zones partially overlap as a reason that the vehicle cannot be dispatched will be described. However, even when the moving distance is too far away or the number of vehicles is insufficient, basically the same applies. .

  In step S1, the event information receiving unit 101 receives event information and identification information for identifying the user from the user terminal 20 operated by the user who is the event initiator.

  In step S2, the vehicle use time zone setting means 102 sets a time zone in which the vehicle is used based on the event information received by the event information reception means 101 in step S1.

  In step S3, the event adding unit 103 determines whether or not the time zones set by the vehicle usage time zone setting unit 102 in step S2 overlap at least partially in the plurality of event information received by the event information receiving unit 101 in step S1. If it is determined that at least part of the data overlaps, the process proceeds to step S4. If it is not determined that at least part of the data overlaps, the process proceeds to step S6.

  In step S4, the event adding unit 103 includes an additional event different from the event before or after the event in the event indicated by the event information received by the event information receiving unit 101 in step S1.

  In step S5, the vehicle usage time zone setting unit 102 selects the vehicle based on the event information in which the additional event is included in the event indicated by the event information received by the event information receiving unit 101 by the event adding unit 103 in step S4. Set the time zone to be used again.

  In step S6, the selection unit 104 selects the user terminal 20 that distributes the event information based on the event information received by the event information reception unit 101 in step S1.

  In step S <b> 7, the distribution unit 105 distributes at least event information indicating the date and time of the event to the user terminal 20 (participant terminal) and the supporter terminal 30.

  In step S <b> 8, the participation desire collection unit 106 receives participation request information indicating an intention to participate in the event from the user terminal 20.

  In step S9, the dispatching means 107 dispatches the vehicle based on the participation request information received by the participation desire collecting means 106 in step S8.

(Effect of embodiment)
According to the present embodiment, the vehicle allocation server 10 is connected to the user terminal 20 operated by the user via the network in the traffic system 1 that operates the vehicle in a predetermined area, and the vehicle allocation according to the event And a distribution means 105, a participation desire collecting means 106, and a dispatching means 107. The distribution means 105 distributes at least event information indicating the date and place of the event to the user terminal 20. The participation desire collecting means 106 receives participation desire information indicating the intention to participate in the event from the user terminal 20. The vehicle allocation means 107 distributes the vehicle based on the participation request information received by the participation desire collection means 106.

  Thereby, for example, a certain user can collect other users and carry them to the holding place simply by transmitting event information indicating that he / she wants to hold a luncheon. Therefore, it becomes possible to deepen communication between local residents.

  The dispatch server 10 further includes a vehicle usage time zone setting unit 102 and an event addition unit 103. The vehicle use time zone setting unit 102 sets a time zone in which the vehicle is used based on the event information received by the event information reception unit 101. The event adding means 103 receives the event information received by the event information receiving means 101 when the time zones set by the vehicle usage time zone setting means 102 at least partially overlap among the plurality of event information received by the event information receiving means 101. In the event indicated by, an additional event different from the event is included before or after the event. Then, the vehicle use time zone setting unit 102 sets the time zone in which the vehicle is used based on the event information including the additional event in the event indicated by the event information received by the event information reception unit 101 by the event addition unit 103. Set again.

  Here, for example, the same type of event often has the same start time (for example, if the event is a luncheon, the start time is often 12:00). In this case, if a plurality of pieces of event information indicating the same event have been received, vehicles are required as many as the number of event information.

  Therefore, the event indicated by the event information includes an additional event different from the event before or after the event, and based on the event information including the additional event, the time zone in which the vehicle is used is set again. , Because the time zone used for vehicles in multiple events can be different from each other, the vehicle used in one event can be used in other events, and it can be dispatched with the minimum number of vehicles for multiple event information It becomes.

  The dispatch server 10 further includes event information receiving means 101 and selection means 104. The event information receiving unit 101 receives event information from the user terminal 20. The selection unit 104 selects the user terminal 20 that distributes the event information based on the event information received by the event information reception unit 101. The distribution unit 105 distributes event information to the user terminal 20 selected by the selection unit 104.

  Thereby, since it is possible to select a user who can easily participate in the event and distribute the event information, it becomes easy for a plurality of users to gather and it is possible to deepen communication between local residents.

  The dispatch server 10 is further connected via a network to a supporter terminal 30 operated by a supporter who supports the event. The distribution unit 105 also distributes the event information to the supporter terminal 30. The participation desire collecting means 106 also transmits participant information, which is information on users participating in the event, based on the received participation desire information to the supporter terminal 30.

  As a result, the event is supported by the support person, so it is possible to hold an event that cannot be realized by itself. For example, even a user who cannot cook can receive a support from a supporter to gather a plurality of other users and hold a luncheon.
