It is a flowchart explaining the area | region change process (S30) in the modification 1.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the overall configuration of the user excursion system 1.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the user excursion system 1 includes at least one portable terminal 3, and three types of areas (area A, area B, and area C) are defined.
The portable terminal 3 is a portable computer terminal operated by a user. In this example, each of a plurality of users participating in the stamp rally holds the mobile terminal 3.
Area A is a first area including the destination. For example, the area A may be set in a circle around the destination, or the entire area A may be the destination. Area A in this example is an area in which the reception intensity from the beacon transmitter 9 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value with the position where the beacon transmitter 9 is installed as the center.
Area B is a second area set so as to surround area A. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the area B may be a donut-shaped region surrounding the outer periphery of the area A, or may be a rectangular region surrounding the area A. Area B in this example is defined by coordinates on the earth measured by a GPS (Global Positioning System) signal.
Area C is an area other than area A or area B.
In this example, the user travels around a plurality of destinations in order based on the guidance information output from the mobile terminal 3 and executes a mission. That is, a user who participates in the stamp rally receives a guidance from the user excursion system 1 via the mobile terminal 3 and performs a mission at each destination. The mission may be input of a keyword displayed at the destination, an answer to a quiz given at the destination, or a predetermined gesture (high touch, etc.) at the destination. .

When providing guidance information to a destination with a mobile terminal, the user generally pays attention to the guidance information the closer to the destination. Furthermore, when a large number of users who are paying attention to such guidance information gather around the destination, the risk of a contact accident or a fall accident increases.
Therefore, in the user excursion system 1 of this example, in the area C, the guidance information is changed according to the position and orientation of the mobile terminal 3 to guide to the destination, and when the user enters the area B, Prohibit linked output. This prevents the destination from being searched while keeping a close eye on the mobile terminal 3. Furthermore, in area B, the user's interest can be directed from the portable terminal 3 to the surroundings by displaying a hint to the destination as non-linked content such as text.

The outer edge of area A is defined by a beacon signal with high distance accuracy from a specific point, and the outer edge of area B is defined by a GPS signal that can be defined by coordinates, although the distance accuracy is inferior to that of a beacon signal. That is, the method of defining the outer edge is different between area A and area B. By defining the outer edge of the region closer to the destination by a method with higher distance accuracy, user misleading is suppressed. For example, the position accuracy by the GPS signal has an error and may vary. Therefore, there is a possibility that errors and blurs are mixed in the guidance information of the destination.
Also, by defining areas (areas) using different methods, it is possible to define an area using the other method even if a failure occurs in either method (for example, GPS signals cannot be received in a building, etc.) There is sex.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the mobile terminal 3.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 3 includes a CPU 300, a volatile memory 302, a nonvolatile memory 304, a network interface 306 (network IF 306), a touch panel 308, a camera 310, a position specifying device 312, a voice input / output device 314, And a motion sensor 315, which are connected to each other via a bus 316.
The CPU 300 is, for example, a central processing unit.
The volatile memory 302 functions as, for example, a main storage device.
The nonvolatile memory 304 stores, for example, a computer program and other data files as a nonvolatile recording device.
The network IF 306 is an interface for wireless communication, and realizes communication via a telephone line or the Internet.
The touch panel 308 is, for example, a display that functions as a display device and an input device.
The camera 310 is, for example, a photographing device built in the mobile terminal 3. The camera 310 may be a photographing device connected externally by a USB cable or the like.
The position specifying device 312 is a device that receives a GPS signal and specifies the current position based on the received signal, for example. The position specifying device 312 of this example has a distance measuring function based on the reception intensity of the beacon signal in addition to the function of specifying the coordinates by the GPS signal. Note that the position specifying device 312 may have a position specifying function based on a wireless access point and a position specifying function by short-range communication such as infrared communication or Bluetooth (registered trademark).
The voice input / output device 314 includes, for example, a microphone and a speaker, and realizes voice input and output.
The motion sensor 315 is a gyro sensor that detects the orientation of the mobile terminal 3, an acceleration sensor that detects the acceleration of the mobile terminal 3, or the like.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the mobile terminal 3.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, the portable guidance program 32 is installed in the portable terminal 3 of this example, and a mission database 360 (mission DB 360) is configured.
The portable guidance program 32 includes a first determination unit 320, a second determination unit 322, an interlocking output unit 324, an interlocking output prohibiting unit 326, a non-interlocking output unit 328, a mission providing unit 330, a stay time measuring unit 332, and a return output unit 334. A clear determination unit 336 and an augmented reality imaging unit 338.
Part or all of the portable guidance program 32 may be realized by hardware such as an ASIC, or may be realized by partially borrowing an OS (Operating System) function.

In the portable guidance program 32, the first determination unit 320 determines whether or not the portable terminal 3 is in the area A (first region).
The first determination unit 320 of this example determines that the mobile terminal 3 is present in the area A when the signal strength of the beacon signal received from the beacon transmitter 9 is equal to or higher than the reference value, and the received beacon signal When the signal strength is less than the reference value, it is determined that the mobile terminal 3 exists outside the area A.

The second determination unit 322 determines whether or not the mobile terminal 3 is in the area B (second region).
The second determination unit 322 of the present example specifies the coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the mobile terminal 3 based on the GPS signal received by the mobile terminal 3, and is in the area B based on the specified coordinates? Determine whether or not.

The interlocking output unit 324 causes the mobile terminal 3 to output guidance information for guiding to the destination according to a change in the position or orientation of the mobile terminal 3. For example, the interlocking output unit 324 may display a map on which the destination is displayed according to the position and orientation of the mobile terminal 3, or may suggest the distance and direction to the destination by voice or the like. Good.
The interlocking output unit 324 of this example specifies the position and orientation of the mobile terminal 3 based on the GPS signal and the output of the gyro sensor, and the destination is displayed according to the specified position and orientation of the mobile terminal 3. The changed map is displayed on the touch panel 308. As described above, in the present application, the form in which the guidance information is displayed in conjunction with the change in the position or orientation of the mobile terminal 3 is referred to as interlocking display, and guidance is provided with fixed content that is not linked to the change in the position or orientation of the mobile terminal 3 A form of displaying information is called non-linked display.

The interlocking output prohibition unit 326 determines that the mobile terminal 3 is in the area B by the second determination unit 322 and determines that the mobile terminal 3 is not in the area A by the first determination unit 320. In this case, output by the interlocking output unit 324 is prohibited.
The interlocked output prohibiting unit 326 of the present example performs the interlocking output until the second determination unit 322 determines that the mobile terminal 3 is in the area B (that is, when the mobile terminal 3 is in the area C). The interlocking display by the unit 324 is permitted, and after the second determination unit 322 determines that the mobile terminal 3 has entered the area B, the interlocking display by the interlocking output unit 324 is prohibited, and the interlocking output unit 328 displays the unsynchronized display. Let it run.

The non-interlocking output unit 328 is determined by the second determination unit 322 that the mobile terminal 3 is in the area B, and is determined by the first determination unit 320 that the mobile terminal 3 is not in the area A. In this case, the mobile terminal 3 is caused to output guidance information that guides the destination by using non-linked content that is not linked to a change in the position or orientation of the mobile terminal 3.
The non-linked output unit 328 of this example displays hint information that suggests the position of the destination as text or a still image when the linked display is prohibited by the linked output prohibiting unit 326. The hint information is, for example, a sentence or an image indicating the color or shape of a building or signboard as a landmark, or a sentence explaining a uniform or a climb of a staff arranged at a destination.

  The mission providing unit 330 quizes the mission of the destination corresponding to the area A on condition that the first determination unit 320 determines that the mobile terminal 3 is in the area A (first region). To the user. The mission providing unit 330 provides the user with a destination mission corresponding to the area B on condition that the second determining unit 322 determines that the mobile terminal 3 is in the area B. Also good.

  The stay time measuring unit 332 measures the time during which the mobile terminal 3 stays in the area B (second region) based on the determination result by the second determination unit 322. The stay time measuring unit 322 is based on the determination result by the second determination unit 322, and is the time from when the mobile terminal 3 enters the area B to when it goes outside the area B (that is, stays in the area A) May also be measured as stay time.

The return output unit 334 is determined that the destination determination mission 336 has not been completed by the clear determination unit 336, and the second determination unit 322 determines that the mobile terminal 3 has exited from the area B corresponding to the destination. If the mobile terminal 3 returns, the portable terminal 3 is caused to output a return message that prompts the user to go to the destination. In other words, the return output unit 334 urges the user to leave the destination without leaving the mission and exit the area B to go to the destination.
The return output unit 334 of this example indicates that the mobile terminal 3 has exited from the area B corresponding to the destination by the second determination unit 322 when the clear determination unit 336 does not determine that the destination mission has been completed. At the determined timing, the mobile terminal 3 is vibrated by the vibration function of the mobile terminal 3, and a text prompting the user to go to the destination is displayed on the touch panel 308 as text.

The clear determination unit 336 is designated by the mission providing unit 330 for the mobile terminal 3 on the condition that the first determination unit 320 determines that the mobile terminal 3 is in the area A. When a predetermined operation (mission) is performed, it is determined that the mission at the destination included in the area A is completed.
The clear determination unit 336 of this example determines whether the answer input by the user to the mobile terminal 3 is a correct answer for the quiz provided to the mobile terminal 3 by the mission providing unit 330. Determine that the mission is complete.

The augmented reality imaging unit 338 determines that the mobile terminal 3 has entered the area A beyond the area B based on the determination result of the first determination unit 320 and the determination result of the second determination unit 322. Augmented reality shooting using the camera of the terminal 3 is enabled. That is, when entering the area A with the mobile terminal 3 turned off, augmented reality shooting is not permitted.
The augmented reality imaging unit 338 of this example determines that the mobile terminal 3 has entered the area A beyond the area B based on the determination results of the first determination unit 320 and the second determination unit 322, and the clear determination unit When it is determined by 336 that the mission is completed, the augmented reality shooting by the camera 310 of the portable terminal 3 is enabled.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating information registered in the mission database 360.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, in the mission DB 360 of this example, quizzes and their correct answers are registered in association with checkpoints and difficulty levels. Checkpoint is the destination of the stamp rally. In this example, a plurality of checkpoints are set and their order is defined. That is, in the stamp rally of this example, it is necessary to clear the check points in a predetermined order.
In addition, the mission DB 360 includes a plurality of pieces of hint information (hint 1 and hint 2) that are used as clues for searching for each check point in association with the check point, the reference reception intensity of each check point in the area A, and each check. The coordinates of the area B of the point are registered. The non-linked output unit 328 of this example displays hint information associated with the checkpoint on the touch panel 308 as fixed content.

Each checkpoint is associated with a plurality of quiz groups having different degrees of difficulty, and each quiz group includes a plurality of quizzes.
The mission providing unit 330 causes the user's mobile terminal 3 to display a quiz associated with a checkpoint (destination) where the user stays from among the quizzes registered in the mission DB 360. Further, the mission providing unit 330 can provide a quiz to the user's mobile terminal 3 by changing the difficulty level of the quiz.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining user guidance processing (S10) in the user excursion system 1. In this example, a mode in which the user starts a stamp rally in area C will be described as a specific example.
As illustrated in FIG. 5, in step 100 (S <b> 100), the interlock output unit 324 (FIG. 3) of the mobile terminal 3 links the map information indicating the next checkpoint with the position and orientation of the mobile terminal 3. indicate.

  In step 105 (S105), the second determination unit 322 determines whether or not the vehicle has entered the area B based on the coordinates specified based on the GPS signal. When it is determined that the second determination unit 322 has entered the area B, the portable guidance program 32 proceeds to the processing of S110, and otherwise returns to S100 and continues the interlocking display of the next checkpoint. .

In step 110 (S110), when the second determination unit 322 determines that the mobile terminal 3 has entered the area B, the interlock output prohibition unit 326 stops the interlock display by the interlock output unit 324 and the non-interlock output unit 328. Starts non-linked display.
The non-linked output unit 328 causes the touch panel 308 to display the first hint information (hint 1) associated with the checkpoint as fixed content in response to an instruction from the linked output prohibiting unit 326.

In step 115 (S115), the first determination unit 320 determines whether or not the mobile terminal 3 has entered the area A based on the beacon signal received from the beacon transmitter 9. When the first determination unit 320 determines that the first determination unit 320 has entered the area A, the portable guidance program 32 proceeds to the process of S120, and otherwise returns to S110 and continues the unlinked display.
The process when the mobile terminal 3 leaves the area B to the area C will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step 120 (S120), when the first determination unit 320 determines that the mobile terminal 3 has entered the area A, the mission providing unit 330 displays the quiz associated with the checkpoint on the touch panel 308 as a mission.
In step 125 (S125), the clear determination unit 336 receives an input of an answer to the user's quiz via the touch panel 308.

  In step 130 (S130), the clear determination unit 336 compares the answer input by the user with the correct answer registered in the mission DB 360, and determines that the mission is complete when they match. If it is determined that the mission is incomplete. When the clear determination unit 336 determines that the mission is completed, the portable guidance program 32 proceeds to the process of S135, and otherwise returns to the process of S125.

  In step 135 (S135), the augmented reality imaging unit 338 enables AR (Augmented Reality) imaging when the clear determination unit 336 determines that the mission is completed.

  In step 140 (S140), when the clear determination unit 336 determines that the mission is completed, the interlock output unit 324 starts interlock display of the next checkpoint.

  As described above, in the user excursion system 1, the mobile terminal 3 displays the map information indicating the next checkpoint while being in the area C, and when entering the area B, the interlocking display is stopped and the unlinked display is performed. The hint information suggests the location of the checkpoint. When the user correctly answers the quiz at the checkpoint, the checkpoint is cleared (mission completed), and AR shooting becomes possible.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining return stagnation guidance processing (S20) in the user excursion system 1.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, in step 200 (S200), the mobile guidance program 32 waits for the return stagnation guidance process until the second determination unit 322 determines that the mobile terminal 3 has entered the area B (S200: No), if it is determined that the vehicle has entered area B, the process proceeds to S205 (S200: Yes).

In step 205 (S205), the stay time measuring unit 332 starts measuring the stay time in the area B.
In step 210 (S210), when the second determination unit 322 determines that the mobile terminal 3 has moved out of the area B, the mobile guidance program 32 proceeds to the process of S215 (S210: Yes), otherwise In this case, the process proceeds to S225 (S210: No).

  In step 215 (S215), when the clear determination unit 336 determines that the mission is complete, the portable guidance program 32 ends the return stagnation guidance process (S20) (S215: Yes), and otherwise. The process proceeds to S220 (S215: No).

  In step 220 (S220), the return output unit 334 causes the portable terminal 3 to vibrate with the vibration function and causes the touch panel 308 to display text prompting the user to go to the destination.

  In step 225 (S225), when the stay time measured by the stay time measuring unit 332 is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the portable guidance program 32 proceeds to the process of S225 (S225: Yes), and the stay time measuring unit 332 When the stay time measured by the above is less than the predetermined value, the process returns to S210 (S225: No).

  In step 230 (S230), the stay time measuring unit 332 notifies the non-interlocking output unit 328 that the stay time of the area B is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, and the non-interlocking output unit 328 responds to this notification. Second hint information (hint 2) different from the hint information is displayed on the touch panel 308.

  As described above, in the user excursion system 1, when the user stays in the area B for a predetermined time or longer, the second hint information indicating the checkpoint is displayed, and the arrival at the checkpoint is further simplified. In addition, a message that prompts the user to leave the area B in a mission incomplete state to return to an incomplete checkpoint is output.

  As described above, according to the user excursion system 1 of the present embodiment, when the user approaches the checkpoint that is the destination more than a certain amount, the linked display by the portable terminal 3 is prohibited, and the checkpoint is displayed by the unlinked display. Display hints. Thereby, a user's attention can be turned around from the screen of a portable terminal, and a user's safety is ensured. Furthermore, depending on the content of the hint, it is possible to promote human exchange in a real space.
