It is determined whether or not a message can be transmitted to the offline communication device via the communication device. The analysis unit 240 identifies a communication device that forwards the message to the notification destination, and determines whether or not the message can be transmitted to the offline communication device via the communication device.

  In addition, when the analysis unit 240 determines that the message can be transmitted to the offline communication device via another communication device, the analysis unit 240 extracts identification information indicating the specified other communication device from the storage unit 210, The extracted identification information is input to the communication unit 220.

  The communication unit 220 transmitted a message to the communication device 300 that is the destination of the message at 16:00 on Tuesday, but did not receive response information from the communication device 300. An example of processing when offline information related to the communication device 300 is input will be described.

  The analysis unit 240 estimates the movement status of the user of the communication device 300 at 16:00 on Tuesday based on the behavior pattern information of the user of the communication device 300 stored in the storage unit 210. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the analysis unit 240 estimates that the user of the communication device 300 is on the route between the point 800 and the point 810.

  Based on the behavior pattern information stored in the storage unit 210, the analysis unit 240 identifies a communication device of a user who acts with the user of the communication device 300 at 16:00 on Tuesday.

  In addition, movement information of the communication device 300 is stored in the storage unit 310. Note that the storage unit 310 is realized by a storage unit such as a memory or a hard disk.

  The position information generation unit 320 generates position information of the communication device 300, generates movement information in which the position information is associated with information indicating the date and time when the position information is generated, and inputs the movement information to the storage unit 310. For example, the position information generation unit 320 generates position information of the communication device 300 using GPS (Global Positioning System). For example, the position information generation unit 320 periodically generates position information of the communication device 300. Note that the position information generation unit 320 is realized by, for example, a GPS receiver.

  The communication control unit 330 transmits the movement information stored in the storage unit 310 to the information collection server 100. Note that the communication control unit 330 may be configured to periodically transmit movement information to the information collection server 100.

  The communication control unit 330 has a function of receiving a message. For example, the communication control unit 330 of the communication apparatus that is not in the offline state receives a message from the distribution server 200. Further, for example, when the communication control unit 330 is in an offline state, the communication control unit 330 receives a message via another communication device.

  The communication control unit 330 has a function of determining whether notification destination information is included in the received message.

  For example, when the communication control unit 330 determines that the notification destination information is included in the received message, the communication control unit 330 determines the received message based on the notification destination information indicating the destination of the message included in the received message. It has a function of determining whether or not the destination is its own communication device. For example, the communication control unit 330 of the communication device that is not in the offline state, based on the notification destination information included in the message received from the distribution server 200, whether or not the notification destination information matches the identification information indicating the own communication device. Determine. When the communication control unit 330 determines that the notification destination information does not match the identification information indicating the own communication device, the communication control unit 330 determines that the destination of the received message is not the own communication device. Further, for example, the communication control unit 330 of the communication device in the offline state matches the identification information indicating the own communication device based on the notification destination information included in the message received from the other communication device. It is determined whether or not to do. Then, when the communication control unit 330 determines that the notification destination information matches the identification information indicating the own communication device, the communication control unit 330 determines that the destination of the received message is the own communication device.

  If the communication control unit 330 determines that the notification destination information is not included in the message received from the distribution server 200, the communication control unit 330 determines that the received message is a message addressed to the own communication device, and notifies the distribution server 200. , Send response information.

  When the communication control unit 330 determines that the destination of the message is not the own communication device based on the notification destination information included in the message received from the distribution server 200, the communication control unit 330 and the identification information indicating the own communication device A beacon signal indicating that is transmitted. For example, the communication control unit 330 determines that the message destination is not the communication apparatus based on the notification destination information included in the received message. And the communication control part 330 transmits the beacon signal in which the identification information which shows an own communication apparatus, and the identification information which shows the communication apparatus of an offline state which is notification destination information are shown.

  Further, the communication control unit 330 receives a beacon signal transmitted from another communication device. For example, when the communication control unit 330 is in an offline state, the communication control unit 330 receives a beacon signal transmitted from a communication device that is not in an offline state.

  When receiving the beacon signal, the communication control unit 330 determines whether the notification destination information indicated by the beacon signal matches the identification information indicating the communication apparatus.

  When it is determined that the notification destination information indicated by the beacon signal matches the identification information indicating the own communication device, the communication control unit 330 can receive a message held by the communication device that transmitted the beacon signal. Perform the prescribed procedure. The predetermined procedure is, for example, a pairing procedure in Bluetooth (registered trademark). For example, the pairing procedure is executed by transmitting and receiving PIN (Personal Identification Number) codes between communication devices.

  For example, in response to the pairing request, the communication device 400 requested to perform pairing transmits an input request for requesting the user to input a PIN code to the requesting communication device 300. When a PIN code is input by the user in response to the input request, the communication apparatus 300 transmits an input request for requesting the user to input the same PIN code as the input PIN code. When the same PIN code is input by the user of the communication device 400, the communication device 400 and the communication device 300 establish communication with each other.

  When a predetermined procedure is executed and a message can be received from the communication device that has transmitted the beacon signal, the communication control unit 330 requests the communication device to transmit the message. For example, the communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 requests the communication device 400 to transmit a message.

  The communication control unit 330 receives a message corresponding to the message transmission request from the communication device 400. For example, the communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 receives a message from the communication device 400.

  When the communication control unit 330 determines that the destination of the message is the local communication device based on the notification destination information included in the received message, the communication control unit 330 indicates the pairing partner communication device indicated by the beacon signal. Response information is transmitted to the distribution server 200 based on the identification information and the identification information indicating the distribution server 200 included in the message. For example, the communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 transmits response information to the distribution server 200 via the communication device 400 of the pairing partner.

  Note that the communication control unit 330 may be configured to transmit a beacon signal using iBeacon (registered trademark).

  The communication control unit 330 is realized by, for example, a communication module including a transmission unit, a reception unit, an antenna, and the like, and a CPU and a plurality of circuits that execute processing according to program control. Note that, for example, the communication device 300 may be configured separately to include a communication control unit for performing wireless communication with other communication devices and a communication control unit for wireless communication via the base station 600 or the like. Good.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the communication device 400. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the communication device 400 includes a storage unit 410, a position information generation unit 420, and a communication control unit 430. Storage unit 410, position information generation unit 420, and communication control unit 430 have the same functions as storage unit 310, position information generation unit 320, and communication control unit 330, respectively, of communication device 300.

  When the communication device 300 is requested to transmit a message, the communication control unit 430 transmits a message according to the request to the communication device 300.

  Further, the communication control unit 430 receives response information from the communication device 300.

  When the communication control unit 430 receives response information from the communication device 300, the communication control unit 430 transmits the response information to the distribution server 200.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the base station 600. As shown in FIG. 9, the base station 600 includes a communication control unit 610. In addition, for example, the base station 600 is eNodeB (E (Evolved) -UTRAN (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network) NodeB) in LTE (Long Term Evolution).

  The communication control unit 610 transmits information to a communication device or server in the coverage area of the base station 600. Communication control unit 610 cannot transmit the information to a communication device or server that is not in the coverage area of base station 600. In addition, the communication control unit 610 receives information from a communication device or server in the coverage area of the base station 600. Communication control unit 610 cannot receive the information from a communication device or server that is not in the coverage area of base station 600.

  For example, the communication control unit 610 receives a message transmitted from the distribution server 200, and transmits the message to the communication device that is the destination of the message based on the transmission destination information included in the message. For example, a message that is notified to a communication device that is offline via a communication device that is not offline is transmitted by the communication control unit 610 to a communication device that is not offline.

  Also, the communication control unit 610 receives movement information transmitted from a communication device, for example. Then, the communication control unit 610 transmits the received movement information to the information collection server 100.

  Further, the communication control unit 610 receives, for example, an information disclosure request transmitted from the distribution server 200, and transmits the information disclosure request to the information collection server 100.

  In addition, the communication control unit 610 receives, for example, movement information of the communication device transmitted from the information collection server 100 and information indicating a message transmission / reception history. Then, the communication control unit 610 transmits the received movement information of the communication device and information indicating the message transmission / reception history to the distribution server 200.

  Further, the communication control unit 610 receives response information from the communication device. Further, the communication control unit 610 transmits the received response information to the distribution server 200 based on the identification information indicating the distribution server 200 included in the received response information. For example, the communication control unit 610 receives response information indicating that the message has been successfully received from the communication device 300. Then, the communication control unit 610 transmits response information indicating that the message has been successfully received to the distribution server 200 based on the identification information indicating the distribution server 200 included in the response information. Also, the communication control unit 610 receives response information transmitted from a communication device that is offline, for example, via a communication device that is not offline, and transmits the response information to the distribution server 200.

  For example, the communication control unit 610 is realized by a transmission module including a transmission unit, a reception unit, an antenna, and the like, and a CPU and a plurality of circuits that execute processing according to program control.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing message transmission processing executed by the distribution server 200.

  The information creation unit 230 of the distribution server 200 creates a message (step S101). For example, when a message creation request addressed to the communication device 300 is input from a user of the distribution server 200, the information creation unit 230 creates a message to be transmitted to the communication device 300 based on the message creation request.

  The communication unit 220 of the distribution server 200 transmits the message created by the information creation unit 230 (step S102). For example, the communication unit 220 transmits a message to the communication device 300.

  The communication unit 220 determines whether or not response information has been received from the message destination communication device (step S103).

  When it is determined that the communication unit 220 has received response information from the communication device that is the destination of the message (YES in step S103), the communication unit 220 determines that the message has been successfully transmitted and ends the message transmission process. . For example, when the communication unit 220 receives response information from the communication device 300 that is the message destination, the communication unit 220 ends the message transmission process.

  When the communication unit 220 determines that the response information has not been received from the communication device that is the message destination (NO in step S103), the communication unit 220 determines that the communication device that is the message destination is in an offline state and performs analysis. Offline information indicating that the communication device that is the destination of the message is offline is input to unit 240. For example, when the communication unit 220 does not receive response information from the communication device 300, the communication unit 220 determines that the communication device 300 is in an offline state, and inputs offline information regarding the communication device 300 to the analysis unit 240.

  When the offline information is input from the communication unit 220, the analysis unit 240 executes a communication device specifying process (step S104).

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a communication device specifying process executed by the distribution server 200.

  The communication unit 220 transmits an information disclosure request regarding the movement information and information indicating the transmission / reception history of the message to the information collection server 100 (step S201).

  The communication unit 220 receives movement information and information indicating a message transmission / reception history from the information collection server 100 (step S202). The received movement information and information indicating message transmission / reception history are stored in the storage unit 210.

  The analysis unit 240 generates behavior pattern information indicating a behavior pattern of the user of the communication device based on the movement information received in the process of step S202 (step S203). For example, the analysis unit 240 generates behavior pattern information of the communication device 300 based on the movement information of the communication device 300 received in the process of step S202. FIG. 4 shows an example of the generated behavior pattern information of the communication device 300. For example, the analysis unit 240 generates behavior pattern information of the communication device 400 based on the received movement information of the communication device 400. FIG. 6 shows an example of the generated behavior pattern information of the communication device 400.

  Based on the generated behavior pattern information of the communication device, the analysis unit 240 identifies a communication device that forwards the message to the destination (step S204). For example, when the communication device 300 is in an offline state, the analysis unit 240 estimates the movement status of the communication device 300 at the message transmission date and time based on the behavior pattern information of the communication device 300. The message transmission date and time is, for example, the date and time when message transmission is executed in step S102 shown in FIG. For example, the analysis unit 240 identifies a communication device of a user who acts with the user of the communication device 300 based on behavior pattern information of another communication device different from the communication device 300. In this example, it is assumed that the analysis unit 240 identifies the communication device 400. Note that the analysis unit 240 may be configured to end the message transmission process when the communication device cannot be identified.

  Based on the information indicating the message transmission / reception history, the analysis unit 240 determines whether or not the communication device identified when the message is transferred in the process of step S204 has communicated with the communication device that is the destination of the message ( Step S205). For example, the analysis unit 240 determines whether or not the communication device 400 specified to transfer the message has communicated with the communication device 300 in the offline state.

  When it is determined that the communication device identified in the process of step S204 has communicated with the communication device that is the destination of the message (YES in step S205), the analysis unit 240 passes through the communication device identified in step S204. Then, it is determined that the message can be transmitted to the communication device in the offline state, and the processing result is returned. For example, the analysis unit 240 determines that a message can be transmitted to the communication device 300 via the communication device 400 when it is determined that the communication device 400 has communicated with the communication device 300 in an offline state.

  When it is determined that the communication device identified in the process of step S204 has never communicated with the communication device that is the message destination (NO in step S205), the analysis unit 240 identifies the communication device identified in the process of step S204. Then, it is determined that the message cannot be transmitted to the communication device in the offline state, and the process proceeds to step S204.

  After the processing for identifying the communication device by the analysis unit 240 ends, the analysis unit 240 inputs identification information indicating the identified communication device to the communication unit 220. The communication unit 220 transmits a message to the specified communication device based on the identification information (step S105). For example, the communication unit 220 transmits a message to the identified communication device 400. The message includes identification information indicating the distribution server 200, identification information indicating the communication device 300 as notification destination information, and identification information indicating the communication device 400 as transmission destination information.

  Note that the communication unit 220 may be configured to determine whether or not response information has been received from the identified communication device. For example, when the communication unit 220 determines that the response information has been received from the specified communication device 400, the communication unit 220 determines that the message transmission process to the specified communication device 400 has been successful. For example, when the communication unit 220 determines that the response information has not been received from the specified communication device 400, the analysis unit 240 is configured to execute the communication device specification process (step S104) again. Alternatively, the analysis unit 240 may be configured to control the communication unit 220 to retransmit the message.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing message transmission / reception processing and response information transmission / reception processing executed by communication apparatus 400 that transfers a message. The communication apparatus 400 in this example is a communication apparatus specified by the distribution server 200 in the process of step S204 illustrated in FIG.

  The communication control unit 430 of the communication device 400 receives a message from the distribution server 200 (step S301). The message is a message transmitted by the distribution server 200 in the process of step S105 shown in FIG. 10, and the message is offline as notification destination information, and indicates the communication device 300 that is the destination of the message. Contains information.

  The communication control unit 430 of the communication device 400 determines whether or not notification destination information is included in the received message. (Step S302). In the case of this example, the communication control unit 430 determines that the received message is not a message addressed to the own communication device because the notification destination information is included in the received message.

  When the communication control unit 430 of the communication apparatus 400 determines that the received message is not a message addressed to the own communication apparatus (NO in step S302), a beacon signal indicating identification information indicating the own communication apparatus and notification destination information Is transmitted (step S303). In the case of this example, the communication apparatus 300 that is offline is indicated by the notification destination information. The communication control unit 430 of the communication device 400 waits until pairing is requested by the communication device 300.

  The communication control unit 430 of the communication device 400 performs pairing processing with the communication device 300 when pairing is requested. Then, when the communication control unit 430 of the communication device 400 is requested to transmit a message from the communication device 300, the communication control unit 430 transmits the message received from the distribution server 200 to the communication device 300 through short-range wireless communication (step S304). ).

  The communication control unit 430 of the communication device 400 receives response information indicating that the message has been successfully received by the short-range wireless communication from the communication device 300, and sends the response information to the distribution server 200 via the mobile phone communication network 500. Response information is transmitted (step S305).

  Note that when the communication control unit 430 of the communication device 400 determines that the received message is a message addressed to the own communication device (YES in step S302), the communication control unit 430 causes the distribution server 200 to receive the message. Response information indicating that the message has been successfully transmitted is transmitted, and the message transmission / reception process and the response information transmission / reception process are terminated. For example, if the communication control unit 430 determines that the notification destination information is not included in the received message, the communication control unit 430 determines that the received message is a message addressed to the own communication device.

  Further, the communication control unit 430 of the communication device 400 sends the message to the distribution server 200 when pairing is not requested from the communication device 300 or when response information is not received from the communication device 300 that is the message destination. Information indicating that transmission has failed may be configured to be transmitted.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing message reception processing and response information transmission processing executed by communication apparatus 300 in the offline state. FIG. 13 illustrates an example in which the communication device 400 is specified as the message transfer source by the distribution server 200 and the message is transmitted to the communication device 400 because the message destination communication device 300 is offline. Yes.

  The communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 receives a beacon signal from the communication device 400 (step S401). The beacon signal is a beacon signal transmitted by the communication device 400 in the process of step S303 illustrated in FIG.

  The communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 determines whether or not the notification destination information included in the received beacon signal matches the identification information indicating the own communication device (step S402).

  If the communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 determines that the notification destination information matches the identification information indicating the own communication device (YES in step S402), the communication control unit 330 requests the communication device 400 for pairing (step S403).

  The communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 executes pairing processing with the communication device 400 and requests the communication device 400 to transmit a message. Then, the communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 receives a message from the communication device 400 by short-range wireless communication (step S404).

  When receiving a message from the communication device 400, the communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 transmits response information indicating that the message has been successfully received to the communication device 400 by short-range wireless communication (step S405). .

  If the communication control unit 330 of the communication device 300 determines that the notification destination information does not match the identification information indicating the own communication device (NO in step S402), the message reception processing and response information transmission processing are terminated.

Further, the communication device in the offline state can receive the message transmitted from the distribution server 200 via another communication terminal without delay. Further, by transmitting a message from a communication device having a strong relationship with the communication device in the offline state to the communication device in the offline state, it is possible to increase the message reception probability in the communication device in the offline state.

  The analysis unit 240 determines whether or not the user of the communication device 300 and the user of the communication device 400 have an intimate relationship based on the message transmission date and time and the information indicating the message transmission / reception history. It may be configured.

  For example, at 16:30 on Tuesday, when the communication device 300 that is the destination of the message is offline, the analysis unit 240 uses the information indicating the message transmission / reception history of the communication device 400 specified based on the behavior pattern information, It is determined whether or not communication with the communication device 300 is indicated between 16:00 and 16:59 on Tuesday.
