First Embodiment
An information processing system 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment has a schedule for users of electronic devices such as mobile terminals (smartphones, mobile phones, tablet terminals, etc.) and personal computers (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “users”). It is a system that presents an alert to alert the user of a misplaced (i.e., forgotten) or a false positive (i.e., misstored).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 2 and a server 3. The terminal device 2 and the server 3 are communicably connected to each other via a network such as the Internet.

  The network may be either a wired line or a wireless line, regardless of the type and form of the line. Note that at least a part of the terminal device 2 and the server 3 is realized by a computer.

  The terminal device 2 is used by a user for registration of a schedule, a route search, and the like, and is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The terminal device 2 may be a desktop personal computer.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the terminal device 2 includes a communication unit 21, an input unit 23, an output unit 24, a storage unit 25, and a control unit 22. First, among the components of the terminal device 2, components other than the control unit 22, that is, the communication unit 21, the input unit 23, the output unit 24, and the storage unit 25 will be described.

  The communication unit 21 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information between the control unit 22 and the server 3 via the network.

  The input unit 23 is an interface for the user to input information to the terminal device 2 and may be, for example, a touch panel, a microphone, a touch pad, or a dial button in a mobile terminal. Further, the input unit 23 may be a mouse or a keyboard of a desktop personal computer.

  The output unit 24 is an interface that outputs various information from the terminal device 2 to the user, and is an image display unit such as a liquid crystal display, for example. As an example, the output unit 24 displays a graphical user interface (GUI) for receiving an operation from the user through the input unit 23. The GUI includes, for example, a route search screen for setting (ie, inputting) a route search condition. The output unit 24 may have a speaker that outputs various information as an audio.

  The output unit 24 does not have to directly present information to the user. For example, the output unit 24 may output a video signal or an audio signal to a video display unit or an audio output unit connected to the outside of the terminal device 2, or to the printing device connected to the outside May be output, or data may be output and stored in a storage device in the terminal device 2 or in an external device.

  The storage unit 25 is, for example, a data storage such as an internal memory or an external memory (such as an SD memory card), and stores various data. The storage unit 25 may not necessarily be provided in the terminal device 2, and may be provided in another device (for example, a server) communicably connected to the terminal device 2 via a network.

  The storage unit 25 stores schedule information of the user (hereinafter, also simply referred to as schedule information). The schedule information is, for example, information registered in the storage unit 25 by the schedule registration function of the control unit 22. The schedule registration function may be a calendar function capable of registering a schedule in association with date and time.

  Here, the schedule information includes a schedule time and a schedule position.

  The schedule position is a position (place) registered as a schedule of the user. The schedule position may be registered as information (for example, coordinate information or facility information) in the same format as the movement planned position so that it can be compared with the movement planned position described later. Alternatively, the alert unit 223 described later may convert the schedule position into information in the same format as the planned movement position so that it can be compared with the planned movement position.

  The schedule time is the time registered as the user's schedule, and is the time corresponding to the schedule position. The schedule time is, for example, a scheduled start time at the schedule position.

  Next, the control unit 22 of the terminal device 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 22 is an example of a schedule information acquisition unit 221 which is an example of a schedule information acquisition unit, a movement schedule information specification unit 222 which is an example of a movement schedule information specification unit, and an alert unit. And an alert unit 223. The control unit 22 uses the schedule information acquisition unit 221, the movement schedule information identification unit 222, and the alert unit 223 to execute various controls related to the output of an alert for making the user notice the missed or misidentified schedule.

  Specifically, the schedule information acquisition unit 221 acquires the schedule information of the user including the schedule time and the schedule position from the storage unit 25. The schedule information acquisition unit 221 may acquire schedule information in response to activation of the navigation application. Normally, setting of route search conditions is performed after activation of the navigation application, so by acquiring schedule information prior to setting of route search conditions, it is possible to quickly determine the presence or absence of alert output described later. it can.

  The movement schedule information specifying unit 222 determines, based on the route search condition set by the user, movement schedule information of the user (hereinafter also referred to simply as movement schedule information) including the movement schedule time and the movement schedule position at the movement schedule time. Identify.

  Specifically, the movement schedule information identification unit 222 specifies movement schedule information based on the geographical condition and the time condition included in the route search condition.

For example, the movement schedule information identification unit 222 may specify movement schedule information based on any one of the combinations of geographical conditions and time conditions shown in the following (1) to (3).
(1) The geographical condition is the destination, and the time condition is the desired arrival time.
(2) The geographical condition is the departure place, and the time condition is the desired departure time.
(3) The geographical condition is the via point, and the time condition is the desired via time.

  The movement schedule information identification unit 222 may specify, as the movement schedule information, the information included in the setting result of the route search conditions without executing the route search using the route search conditions. As a result, since the geographical condition and the time condition included in the route search condition can be immediately specified as the movement schedule information according to the setting of the route search condition, the movement schedule information can be specified quickly. Note that the movement schedule information identification unit 222 may specify movement schedule information after waiting for determination of a route search condition by execution of a route search.

  The alert unit 223 outputs an alert when the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent.

  Here, "the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent" means that there is a mismatch or contradiction causing the user's inconvenience between the schedule information and the movement schedule information. For example, in the case where the desired arrival time to the destination, which is an example of the scheduled movement time, is later than the schedule time, a user inconvenience such as “delay” with respect to the schedule occurs. The alert unit 223 outputs an alert to suppress such a user's inconvenience actually occurring. In addition to this, for example, when the destination is different from the schedule position, the user's inconvenience that the schedule can not be started at the schedule time also occurs when the desired arrival time to the destination is the same as the schedule time. It corresponds to the alignment.

  On the other hand, a mismatch between schedule information and movement schedule information that does not cause a user's inconvenience does not correspond to a mismatch. For example, in the case where the destination is the same as the schedule position, if the desired arrival time to the destination is earlier than the schedule time, although the desired arrival time does not match the schedule time, the user There is no inconvenience. In this case, the schedule information and the movement schedule information are not inconsistent, and the alert unit 223 does not output an alert.

  The contents of the alert by the alert unit 223 convey the inconsistency between the schedule information and the movement schedule information. For example, the content of the alert may not be able to reach the schedule position at the schedule time when moving according to the movement schedule information, or may not be able to move according to the movement schedule information when the schedule is performed. It conveys something. The “movement suitable for movement schedule information” is not limited to movement according to movement schedule information, but also includes movement that does not cause the user's inconvenience even if it deviates from the movement schedule information. For example, even if the movement does not arrive at the destination according to the desired arrival time, the movement that can arrive at the destination before the desired arrival time does not cause the user's inconvenience of "delay" to the desired arrival time. It is the movement that conforms to the information. Further specific examples of the content of the alert will be described in the operation example described later.

  The control unit 22 receives an input operation of the input unit 23 for various screens displayed by the output unit 24 in addition to the control related to the output of the alert, and transmits the information of the received input operation to the server 3 via the network. Execute control. The control unit 22 may be realized by the processor in the terminal device 2 executing a predetermined program.

  Next, the server 3 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the server 3 includes a communication unit 31, a storage unit 33, and a control unit 32.

  The communication unit 31 is an interface that transmits and receives information between the terminal device 2 and the control unit 32 of the server 3 via the network.

  The storage unit 33 is, for example, a data storage such as a hard disk, and stores various databases. The storage unit 33 may not necessarily be provided in the server 3, and may be provided in another device communicably connected to the server 3 via a network.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the storage unit 33 has a route network information database 331.

  The route network information database 331 is a database for route search, and includes, for example, traffic network information as route network information. Transportation network information is information that defines a transportation network such as a railway or a bus and a road network. The information on the transportation network includes route information on transportation, timetable information, toll information, and the like. Further, the information of the transportation network is represented by a combination of data of nodes (nodes) on a route network expression such as a station and data of a link which is a track section between the nodes, for example. Further, the information of the road network is represented by a combination of data of nodes (nodes) on the road network expression such as intersections and data of links which are road sections between the nodes.

  Although not shown, the storage unit 33 may include a map information database used to display a map or search for points. The map information may include map data such as road maps of the whole country or each region, and may include map object information (note information, symbol information, etc.) associated with the map data. Furthermore, the storage unit 33 may include a point of interest (POI) information database used to search for facilities and to set a destination. POI information is information on facilities and events. The POI information includes name information and location information of facilities and events.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 32 includes a route search unit 321.

  The route search unit 321 uses the route network information to perform a route search based on the set route search condition. The route search unit 321 transmits route information indicating the searched route from the communication unit 31 to the terminal device 2.

  The schedule information acquisition unit 221, the movement schedule information identification unit 222, and the alert unit 223 may be provided in the control unit 32 of the server 3.

(Operation example)
Next, an operation example of the information processing system 1 of FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2, first, the control unit 22 of the terminal device 2 activates the navigation application according to the operation using the input unit 23 (step S21).

  After activating the navigation application, the schedule information acquisition unit 221 acquires schedule information from the storage unit 25 (step S22). FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a process of acquiring schedule information as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, in step S22, the route search screen S may be displayed by activating the navigation application, and the schedule information I may be read from the storage unit 25. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of schedule information as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. The schedule information acquired in step S22 is, for example, schedule information as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 4, the schedule information includes “hotel A” as a schedule position, and includes “10:00” as a schedule time.

  After acquiring the schedule information, as shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 22 sets a route search condition in accordance with the operation using the input unit 23 (step S23). FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a first example of a process of setting a route search condition as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. In the example of FIG. 5, the control unit 22 sets the destination “hotel A” and the desired arrival time “10:45” as a route search condition by the input to the route search screen S using the input unit 23. . In the example of FIG. 5, when the route search condition is set, the “search” button for instructing execution of the route search is not operated. In the example of FIG. 5, without waiting for the execution of the route search using the set route search condition, the process proceeds to the specification of the movement schedule information of the user.

  After setting the route search conditions, as shown in FIG. 2, the movement schedule information identification unit 222 specifies movement schedule information based on the route search conditions (step S24). In the example of FIG. 5, the movement schedule information identification unit 222 specifies the destination “hotel A” and the desired arrival time “10:45” included in the setting result of the route search condition as the movement schedule information.

  After specifying the movement schedule information, as shown in FIG. 2, the alert unit 223 determines whether the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent (step S25). In the example of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the schedule position and the destination are both “hotel A”. On the other hand, the desired arrival time "10:45" is later than the scheduled time "10:00". In this case, the alert unit 223 determines that the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent.

  If the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent (step S25: Yes), as shown in FIG. 2, the alert unit 223 outputs an alert (step S26). On the other hand, if the schedule information and the movement schedule information are not inconsistent (step S25: No), the alert unit 223 ends the process without outputting an alert.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a first example of an alert output process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 6 is an example of a guide (alert) transmitted when the inconsistency between the schedule information and the movement schedule information is determined. More specifically, FIG. 6 shows an alert indicating that the schedule position may not be reached at the schedule time, or that the movement according to the movement schedule information may not be possible if the schedule is performed. It is an example. In the example of FIG. 6, the alert unit 223 displays an alert that there is a possibility that the schedule information (that is, the calendar) may not meet the schedule. Further, in the example of FIG. 6, the alert unit 223 displays the schedule time “10:00” and the desired arrival time “10:45” later than the schedule time side by side so as to allow identification of inconsistencies between both times. doing. By displaying such an alert, the user can notice that the scheduled time has been missed or misidentified. In the example of FIG. 6, the display of the alert may be ended in response to the operation of the “OK” button.

  Next, a second example of the process of setting a route search condition and the process of outputting an alert will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a second example of the process of setting a route search condition as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a second example of an alert output process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

  In the first example of the route search condition setting step and the alert output step described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the same destination as the schedule position is set, and a desired arrival time different from the schedule time is set. It determines that the schedule information and the movement information are inconsistent, and outputs an alert.

  On the other hand, in the second example shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the destination "Hotel B" different from the schedule position "Hotel A" is set, and the desired arrival time "10:00" same as the schedule time is set. Be done. Also in this case, the alert unit 223 determines that the schedule information and the movement information are inconsistent. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the alert unit 223 displays an alert indicating that the schedule information location and the location are different. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the alert unit 223 displays the schedule position “hotel A” and the destination “hotel B” side by side, and displays inconsistencies between the two positions in a distinguishable manner. By displaying such an alert, the user can notice a missed or misidentified schedule position.

  In both the first example (FIG. 5, FIG. 6) and the second example (FIG. 7, FIG. 8), the planned movement position is the destination, and the planned movement time is the desired arrival time to the destination It is an example. The first embodiment is not limited to these aspects. For example, the planned movement position may be the departure point, and the planned movement time may be the desired departure time from the departure point, or the planned movement position is the via point, The movement scheduled time may be a passing time of the via point.

  Note that even if the scheduled movement time is earlier than the start time of the schedule, it may be determined that there is a mismatch if it is within a predetermined threshold (for example, within 10 minutes from the start time).

  If the schedule information is displayed each time the navigation application is started, the schedule may be displayed even though the user has forgotten or misunderstood the schedule, and the display of the schedule may give a more annoying impression to the user. . On the other hand, in the first embodiment, an alert is output when it is estimated that the user has forgotten or misrecognized the schedule because the user has set a route search condition that does not match the schedule information. As a result, it is possible to make the user notice that the schedule has been missed or misidentified while avoiding complicated presentation of the schedule. Further, according to the first embodiment, since it is possible to output an alert without executing the route search if the route search condition is set, it is possible to quickly make the user notice a missed or misidentified schedule. Can.

  Further, in the first embodiment, when the movement schedule information and the schedule information are inconsistent, the schedule position is not automatically set as the destination, so the freedom of destination setting is maintained. You can also

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment for specifying movement schedule information based on a result of route search will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, the example in which the information included in the setting result of the route search conditions is specified as the movement schedule information without executing the route search has been described. On the other hand, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the movement schedule information is specified based on the result of the route search. Hereinafter, the difference between such a second embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the second embodiment, the control unit 22 of the terminal device 2 transmits the set route search condition from the communication unit 21 to the server 3 after setting of the route search condition (step S23). (Step S27). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a first example of a process of setting route search conditions and a process of transmission as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. In the example of FIG. 10, the control unit 22 sets the destination “hotel A” and the desired departure time “9:00” as a route search condition by the input to the route search screen S using the input unit 23. . Further, in the example of FIG. 10, after setting the route search conditions, the control unit 22 transmits the route search conditions to the server 3 in response to the operation of the “search” button for instructing the route search.

  When the route search condition is transmitted, as shown in FIG. 9, the route search unit 322 of the server 3 receives the transmitted route search condition from the communication unit 31 (step S31).

  After receiving the route search condition, the route search unit 322 executes a route search based on the received route search condition (step S32).

  After executing the route search, the route search unit 322 transmits route information indicating the searched route from the communication unit 31 to the terminal device 2 (step S33).

  When the route information is transmitted, the movement schedule information identification unit 222 receives the transmitted route information from the communication unit 21 (step S28).

  After receiving the route information, the movement schedule information identification unit 222 specifies movement schedule information based on the received route information (step S24). FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a first example of a process of specifying movement schedule information based on a route search result as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. In the example of FIG. 11, the movement schedule information identification unit 222 identifies the estimated arrival time “10:40” to the destination “hotel A” based on the route information.

  After the movement schedule information is specified, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the alert unit 223 determines whether the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent as in the first embodiment (step S25). And an alert is output in the case of inconsistency (step S26). FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a first example of an alert output process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. In the example of FIG. 12, the alert unit 223 determines that the schedule position and the destination are “hotel A”, but the estimated arrival time “10:40” is later than the schedule time “10:00”, so the schedule information is And the movement schedule information are determined to be inconsistent. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, an alert indicating that there is a possibility that the schedule information can not be met is displayed. By displaying such an alert, the user can notice that the scheduled time has been missed or misidentified.

  Next, a second example of the route search condition setting process, the movement schedule information specification process, and the alert output process will be described. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a second example of the process of setting a route search condition as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a second example of the process of specifying movement schedule information based on the route search result as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a second example of an alert output process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment.

  In the first example shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, when the same destination as the schedule position is set, and as a result of the route search, the estimated arrival time later than the schedule time is specified, the schedule information and the movement schedule information Judge that there is an inconsistency and output an alert.

  On the other hand, in the second example shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the destination "hotel B" different from the schedule position "hotel A" is set, and as a result of the route search, the estimated arrival time "10" : 00 "is identified. Also in this case, the alert unit 223 determines that the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the alert unit 223 displays an alert indicating that the schedule information location and the location are different. By displaying such an alert, the user can notice a missed or misidentified schedule position.

  Next, a third example of the movement schedule information identification process and the alert output process will be described. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a third example of the process of specifying movement schedule information based on the route search result as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a process of determining inconsistency of movement schedule information and schedule information as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a third example of the process of outputting an alert as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the third example, the movement schedule information identification unit 222 identifies the estimated arrival time “9:45” to the destination “hotel B” based on the result of the route search. In the third example, the schedule position "Hotel A" is different from the destination "Hotel B". In this case, as shown in FIG. 17, the alert unit 223 calculates the required time from the destination “hotel B” to the schedule position “hotel A” using the route search function of the route search unit 322. Then, the alert unit 223 compares the remaining time from the estimated arrival time “9:45” to the destination “hotel B” to the schedule time “10:00” with the calculated required time. In the example of FIG. 17, the remaining time from the estimated arrival time “9:45” to the schedule time “10:00” is shorter than the time required from the destination “Hotel B” to the schedule position “Hotel A”. Therefore, the alert unit 223 determines that the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent, and as shown in FIG. 18, displays an alert indicating that the schedule information schedule and the location are different.
