  Then, in step SP5, the portable terminal 2 uses the user ID input by the user, the password, the credit card information, and the contact information as the user information D8 of the user who starts using the transportation facility service. Send to server 3. When the Sier server 3 receives the user information D8 from the portable terminal 2, the Sier server 3 registers the user information D8 in the storage unit 12 as user information D8 of the user who is permitted to use the transportation use service. In step SP6, the Sier server 3 Use permission information for permitting use (contents omitted) is returned to the portable terminal 2. Here, the portable terminal 2 notifies the user by displaying on the operation display unit 13 that the transportation facility use service is ready.

  In the case of a user who has registered the user information D8, when the user ID and password are input as login information on the navigation application, the login information is transmitted from the portable terminal 2 to the Sier server 3 and is permitted to be used from the Sier server 3. When the information is returned, the transport system using system 1 can be used.

  In step SP7, the user who has recognized that the transportation system 1 can be used via the mobile terminal 2 inputs the destination, desired arrival time, and desired amount on the navigation application of the mobile terminal 2. . For the departure place, the current position of the mobile terminal 2 acquired by the position information acquisition unit 14 is automatically input. Further, it is not necessary to input the desired arrival time and the desired amount (in this case, the desired arrival time and the desired amount are not included in the route search condition). In step SP8, the portable terminal 2 stores the user ID and the input departure point, destination, desired arrival time, and desired amount as service usage information D1 in the storage unit 12 and transmits them to the Sier server 3.

  When the Sier server 3 receives the service usage information D1 from the portable terminal 2, in step SP9, the Sier server 3 executes a route search program and stores the bus operation information D5, the railway operation information D6, and the road traffic information stored in the storage unit 22. Based on D7 and the service usage information D1 received from the mobile terminal 2, the route from the designated departure place (user's current location) to the destination meets the conditions designated by the user and traffic Search for routes that the engine is operating normally.

  Here, an example of an algorithm for searching for such a route will be roughly described. That is, the control unit 20 of the Sier server 3 designates based on the designated departure place and destination and the route information of the transportation means (for example, buses and railways all over Japan) stored in the storage unit 22. The route from the designated starting point to the destination is searched. Further, the control unit 20 calculates the time and fare required for the destination for each route obtained as a result of the search, and matches the designated desired arrival time and desired amount among the routes obtained as a result of the search. Extract the route. That is, a route in which the arrival time at the destination is before the desired arrival time and the fare is less than the desired amount is extracted.

  Further, the control unit 20 determines whether the transportation designated by the route is operating normally for each extracted route based on the bus operation information D5, the railway operation information D6, and the road traffic information D7. . And the control part 20 is the path | route which is in agreement with the conditions designated by the user, and the transportation | transportation is operating normally among the extracted paths | routes in which the designated transportation | working system is operating normally. And

  Here, of the routes from the designated departure place to the destination, the route that does not match the designated desired arrival time and the desired amount is not presented to the user. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A route that does not match the desired arrival time and the desired amount may be presented to the user together with information indicating that the desired arrival time and the desired amount do not match. In this way, it is possible to present to the user a route that exceeds the desired amount but arrives at the destination sufficiently earlier than the desired arrival time.

  After searching for a route with such an algorithm, in step SP10, the Sier server 3 stores the route information D2 indicating the searched route in the storage unit 22 and transmits it to the portable terminal 2. When the portable terminal 2 receives the route information D2 from the Sier server 3, the portable terminal 2 stores the route information D2 in the storage unit 12 and displays it on the operation display unit 13.

  In subsequent step SP11, the user selects a desired route from one or more routes indicated by the route information D2 displayed on the operation display unit 13 of the portable terminal 2. When the user selects a desired route, the portable terminal 2 stores the selected route information D3 indicating the selected route in the storage unit 12 and transmits it to the Sier server 3 in step SP12. Thereafter, the portable terminal 2 displays the route selected by the user on the operation display unit 13 based on the route information D2 and the selected route information D3, so that the route selected by the user can be confirmed at any time. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the user selects a route that uses the bus from the current location to a predetermined station and then uses the train from the predetermined station to the destination.

  When the Sier server 3 receives the selected route information D3 from the mobile terminal 2, the Sier server 3 stores the selected route information D3 in the storage unit 22. Further, the Sier server 3 confirms the route selected by the user based on the route information D2 and the selected route information D3, and the bus that can be used in the bus boarding section designated by the selected route. Bus ticket request information D9 for requesting to issue a ticket, and train ticket request information D10 for requesting to issue a railroad ticket that can be used in the railroad section specified by the selected route. These are generated and stored in the storage unit 22.

  Then, the Sier server 3 transmits the bus ticket request information D9 to the bus company server 4 in step SP13. When the bus company server 4 receives the bus ticket request information D9 from the Sier server 3, the bus company server 4 performs an issuing process for issuing the bus ticket based on the bus ticket request information D9. In this issuance processing, a bus ticket fee is paid using the user's credit card information. In step SP14, the bus company server 4 stores the bus ticket information D11 indicating the issued bus ticket in the storage unit 32 and transmits it to the Sier server 3.

  In step SP15, the Sier server 3 transmits railway ticket request information D10 to the railway company server 5. When the railway company server 5 receives the railway ticket request information D10 from the Sier server 3, the railway company server 5 performs an issuing process for issuing a railway ticket based on the railway ticket request information D10. In this issuance process, the user pays for the train ticket using the credit card information. In step SP16, the railway company server 5 stores the railway ticket information D12 indicating the issued railway ticket in the storage unit 52 and transmits it to the Sier server 3.

  When the Sier server 3 receives the bus ticket information D11 and the railroad ticket information D12, the Sier server 3 generates the ticket information D4 that enables the bus and the rail on the route selected by the user based on these. In step SP17, the Sier server 3 stores the ticket information D4 in the storage unit 22 and transmits it to the mobile terminal 2.

  When the portable terminal 2 receives the ticket information D4 from the Sier server 3, the portable terminal 2 stores the ticket information D4 in the storage unit 12. Thereafter, the mobile terminal 2 can display the two-dimensional code included in the ticket information D4 on the operation display unit 13 on the navigation application, and the two-dimensional code can be displayed on the bus terminal 7 or the station terminal 8. By making it read, you can use buses and railways.

  Thereafter, the user gets on the bus from the designated bus stop on the route. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, in step SP18, the user holds the two-dimensional code as the boarding ticket displayed on the portable terminal 2 over the reader 43 on the boarding gate side provided on the bus terminal 7. Let me read.

  When the bus terminal 7 reads the two-dimensional code with the reader 43 on the boarding gate side, the bus terminal 7 acquires the user ID and the bus ticket information D11 from the two-dimensional code, thereby detecting that the user gets on the bus. In step SP19, the bus terminal 7 creates bus boarding information D13 indicating that the user has boarded the bus, stores the bus boarding information D13 in the storage unit 42, and transmits it to the bus company server 4.

  When receiving the bus boarding information D13 from the bus terminal 7, the bus company server 4 stores the bus boarding information D13 in the storage unit 32 and transmits it to the Sier server 3 in step SP20. The Sier server 3 stores the bus boarding information D13 received from the bus company server 4 in the storage unit 22.

  Thereafter, the user gets off the bus at a designated bus stop on the route. At this time, in step SP21, the user holds the two-dimensional code as the boarding ticket displayed on the portable terminal 2 over the reader 43 on the exit side provided in the bus terminal 7 and reads the two-dimensional code.

  When the bus terminal 7 reads the two-dimensional code with the reader 43 on the exit gate side, the bus terminal 7 detects the user getting off the bus by acquiring the user ID and the bus ticket information D11 from the two-dimensional code. In step SP22, the bus terminal 7 creates bus getting-off information D14 indicating that the user has got off the bus, stores the information in the storage unit 42, and transmits it to the bus company server 4.

  When the bus company server 4 receives the bus disembarking information D14 from the bus terminal 7, in step SP23, the bus disembarking information D14 is stored in the storage unit 32 and transmitted to the Sier server 3. The Sier server 3 stores the bus getting-off information D14 received from the bus company server 4 in the storage unit 22.

  Thereafter, the user gets on the train at a designated station on the route. At this time, in step SP24, the user holds the two-dimensional code as the boarding ticket displayed on the portable terminal 2 over the reader 63 on the entrance side provided in the station terminal 8 and reads it.

  When the station terminal 8 reads the two-dimensional code by the reader 63 on the entrance side, the station terminal 8 acquires the user ID and the railway ticket information D12 from the two-dimensional code, thereby detecting that the user has boarded the railway. In step SP25, the station terminal 8 creates railroad boarding information D15 indicating that the user has boarded the railroad, stores it in the storage unit 62, and transmits it to the railroad company server 5.

  When receiving the railway boarding information D15 from the station terminal 8, the railway company server 5 stores the railway boarding information D15 in the storage unit 32 and transmits it to the Sier server 3 in step SP26. The Sier server 3 stores the railway boarding information D15 received from the railway company server 5 in the storage unit 22.

  Thereafter, the user gets off the train at a designated station on the route. At this time, in step SP27, the user reads the two-dimensional code as the boarding ticket displayed on the portable terminal 2 over the reader 63 on the exit side provided in the station terminal 8.

  When the station terminal 8 reads the two-dimensional code with the reader 63 on the exit side, the station terminal 8 acquires the user ID and the railway ticket information D12 from the two-dimensional code, thereby detecting that the user has got off the railway. In step SP28, the station terminal 8 creates the railway getting-off information D16 indicating that the user has got off the railway, stores it in the storage unit 62, and transmits it to the railway company server 5.

  When receiving the railway getting-off information D16 from the station terminal 8, the railway company server 5 stores the railway getting-off information D16 in the storage unit 32 and transmits it to the Sier server 3 in step SP29. The Sier server 3 stores the railway getting-off information D <b> 16 received from the railway company server 5 in the storage unit 22. Here, if the getting-off station described in the railway getting-off information D16 coincides with the user's destination, the Sier server 3 recognizes that the user has arrived at the destination (designated station) at this time. To do. The overall flow of the transportation use service provided by the transportation use system 1 is as described above.

  When the bus terminal 7 or the station terminal 8 does not have a function of communicating with the bus company server 4 or the railway company server 5, the above-described steps SP19, SP20, SP22, SP23, SP25, SP26, SP28, SP29 are performed. May be omitted.

[1-5. Summary and Effect]
As described so far, in the transportation use system 1 according to the first embodiment, the Sier server 3 acquires the bus operation information D5, the railway operation information D6, and the road traffic information D7.

It is designed to be stored and managed, and based on this information, a transportation service is provided to each user.

[2-3. Overall flow of transportation service]
Next, the overall flow of the transportation service using the transportation system 100 will be described with reference to the sequence charts shown in FIGS. Here, only the parts different from the first embodiment in the overall flow of the transportation service will be described, and the description of the same parts will be omitted as appropriate.

  Of the overall flow of the transportation service shown in FIG. 11, the flow from step SP1 to SP12 (that is, the flow until the user selects one of the routes searched by the Sier server 3). Since it is the same as that of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted. That is, in the transportation system 100, the route is searched in the same manner as the transportation system 1, and the user is allowed to select one of the searched routes. Here, it is assumed that the user selects a route using the bus from the current location to a predetermined station and then using the train from the predetermined station to the destination.

  Thereafter, when the Sier server 3 receives the selected route information D3 from the portable terminal 2, the Sier server 3 stores it in the storage unit 22. Further, the Sier server 3 confirms the route selected by the user based on the route information D2 and the selected route information D3, and requests to issue a bus boarding bill that makes the bus usable. Information D100 and railway boarding bill request information D101 for requesting to issue a railway boarding bill that can be used by the railway are generated and stored in the storage unit 22.

  Then, the Sier server 3 transmits the bus boarding bill request information D100 to the bus company server 4 in step SP100. When the bus company server 4 receives the bus boarding bill request information D100 from the Sier server 3, the bus company server 4 performs an issuing process for issuing a bus boarding bill based on the bus boarding bill request information D100. In step SP101, the bus company server 4 stores the bus boarding bill information D102 indicating the issued bus boarding bill in the storage unit 32 and transmits it to the Sier server 3.

  In step SP102, the Sier server 3 transmits railway boarding bill request information D101 to the railway company server 5. When the railway company server 5 receives the railway boarding bill request information D101 from the Sier server 3, the railway company server 5 performs an issuing process for issuing the railway boarding bill based on the railway boarding bill request information D101. In step SP103, the railway company server 5 stores the railway boarding bill information D103 indicating the issued railway boarding bill in the storage unit 52 and transmits it to the Sier server 3.

  When the Sier server 3 receives the bus boarding bill information D102 and the railroad boarding bill information D103, the Sier server 3 generates boarding bill information D104 that can use the bus and the railroad based on these. In step SP104, the Sier server 3 stores the boarding bill information D104 in the storage unit 22 and transmits it to the portable terminal 2.

  When the portable terminal 2 receives the boarding bill information D104 from the Sier server 3, the portable terminal 2 stores the boarding bill information D104 in the storage unit 12. Thereafter, the mobile terminal 2 can display the two-dimensional code included in the boarding note information D104 on the operation display unit 13 on the navigation application, and the two-dimensional code can be displayed on the bus terminal 7 or the station terminal 8. By making it read, you can use buses and railways.

  Thereafter, the user gets on the bus from the designated bus stop on the route. At this time, as shown in FIG. 12, the user holds the two-dimensional code as the boarding bill displayed on the portable terminal 2 over the reader 43 on the boarding gate side provided on the bus terminal 7 in step SP105. Let me read.

  When the bus terminal 7 reads the two-dimensional code by the reader 43 on the boarding gate side, the bus terminal 7 acquires the user ID and the bus boarding bill information D102 from the two-dimensional code, thereby detecting that the user gets on the bus. In step SP106, the bus terminal 7 creates bus boarding information D13 indicating that the user has boarded the bus, stores the bus boarding information D13 in the storage unit 42, and transmits it to the bus company server 4.

  When receiving the bus boarding information D13 from the bus terminal 7, the bus company server 4 stores the bus boarding information D13 in the storage unit 32 and transmits it to the Sier server 3 in step SP107. The Sier server 3 stores the bus boarding information D13 received from the bus company server 4 in the storage unit 22. At this point, the Sier server 3 recognizes that the user has boarded the bus from the designated bus stop.

  Thereafter, it is assumed that, for example, the traffic situation on the road changes (for example, a traffic jam occurs) while the user is on the bus. Then, in step SP108, the road management company server 6 transmits new road traffic information D7 to the Sier server 3.

  When the Sier server 3 receives the new road traffic information D7 from the road management company server 6, the road identified by the road ID described in the road traffic information D7 is on the route from the current location of the user to the destination. It is determined whether the road is a road and the traffic situation of the road is a traffic jam or a closed road. Here, when the road described in the road traffic information D7 is a road on the route from the user's current location to the destination and the traffic situation of the road is congested or closed, the user is on board. If the bus is involved in a traffic jam or has to detour the road due to traffic closure, there is a possibility that it will not be in time for the desired arrival time specified by the user.

  In this case, the Sier server 3 determines in step SP109 the route from the user's current location to the destination, the bus operation information D5 and the rail operation information D6 stored in the storage unit 12, and the new road traffic information acquired this time. Based on D7 and the service usage information D1 stored in the storage unit 12, the route from the user's current location to the destination meets the conditions specified by the user and the transportation system operates normally. The route that has been searched again.

  For the current location of the user, the control unit 20 of the Sier server 3 includes, for example, the route selected by the user, the elapsed time from the time when the user got on the bus, and the average speed of the bus (for example, 30 km / h). At the same time, it may be calculated as a rough position. Also in the route search here, a route that does not match the desired arrival time and the desired amount may be presented to the user together with information indicating that the desired arrival time and the desired amount do not match. In this way, a route that reaches the destination before the desired arrival time, although exceeding the desired amount, can be presented to the user.

  Here, for example, it is assumed that, as a result of the search, a new route that shortens the boarding section of the bus compared to the current route and lengthens the boarding section of the train is found. Then, the control unit 30 of the Sier server 3 stores the new route information D2 indicating the searched route in the storage unit 22 separately from the first route information D2 and transmits it to the portable terminal 2 in step SP110. When receiving the new route information D2 from the Sier server 3, the portable terminal 2 stores the route information D2 separately from the first route information D2 in the storage unit 12 and displays it on the operation display unit 13. At this time, the mobile terminal 2 displays, together with the new route information D2, for example, information indicating that the current route may not be in time for the desired arrival time and that it is better to select a new route. To display.

  Here, it is assumed that the user selects a new route indicated by the new route information D2 displayed on the operation display unit 13 of the portable terminal 2 in subsequent step SP111. Then, the portable terminal 2 stores the selected route information D3 indicating the selected route in the storage unit 12 separately from the first route information D3 and transmits it to the Sier server 3 in step SP112. Thereafter, the mobile terminal 2 displays the new route selected by the user on the operation display unit 13 based on the new route information D2 and the new selected route information D3, so that the new route selected by the user is displayed. Can be checked at any time.

  Thereafter, the user gets off the bus at the designated bus stop on the newly selected route (in this case, gets off at the bus stop before the designated bus stop on the previously selected route). At this time, in step SP113, the user holds the two-dimensional code as the boarding bill displayed on the portable terminal 2 over the reader 43 on the exit side provided in the bus terminal 7 and reads the two-dimensional code.

  When the bus terminal 7 reads the two-dimensional code by the reader 43 on the exit gate side, the bus terminal 7 detects the user getting off the bus by acquiring the user ID and the bus boarding bill information D102 from the two-dimensional code. In step SP114, the bus terminal 7 creates bus getting-off information D14 indicating that the user has got off the bus, stores it in the storage unit 42, and transmits it to the bus company server 4.

  When the bus company server 4 receives the bus disembarking information D14 from the bus terminal 7, in step SP115, the bus disembarking information D14 is stored in the storage unit 32 and transmitted to the Sier server 3. The Sier server 3 stores the bus getting-off information D14 received from the bus company server 4 in the storage unit 22.

  Thereafter, the user gets on the train at the designated station on the new route. At this time, in step SP116, the user reads the two-dimensional code as the boarding ticket displayed on the portable terminal 2 over the reader 63 on the entrance side provided in the station terminal 8.

  When the station terminal 8 reads the two-dimensional code with the reader 63 on the entrance side, the station terminal 8 acquires the user ID and the railway boarding bill information D103 from the two-dimensional code, thereby detecting that the user has boarded the railway. In step SP117, the station terminal 8 creates railroad boarding information D15 indicating that the user has boarded the railroad, stores it in the storage unit 62, and transmits it to the railroad company server 5.

  When receiving the railway boarding information D15 from the station terminal 8, the railway company server 5 stores the railway boarding information D15 in the storage unit 32 and transmits it to the Sier server 3 in step SP118. The Sier server 3 stores the railway boarding information D15 received from the railway company server 5 in the storage unit 22.

  Thereafter, the user gets off the train at the designated station on the new route. At this time, in step SP119, the user reads the two-dimensional code as the riding bill displayed on the portable terminal 2 over the reader 63 on the exit side provided in the station terminal 8 and reads it.

  When the station terminal 8 reads the two-dimensional code with the reader 63 on the exit side, the station terminal 8 acquires the user ID and railroad boarding bill information D103 from the two-dimensional code, thereby detecting that the user got off the railroad. In step SP120, the station terminal 8 creates railway getting-off information D16 indicating that the user has got off the railway, and stores it in the storage unit 62 and transmits it to the railway company server 5.

  When receiving the railway getting-off information D16 from the station terminal 8, the railway company server 5 stores the railway getting-off information D16 in the storage unit 32 and transmits it to the Sier server 3 in step SP121. The Sier server 3 stores the railway getting-off information D <b> 16 received from the railway company server 5 in the storage unit 22. Here, if the getting-off station described in the railway getting-off information D16 coincides with the user's destination, the Sier server 3 recognizes that the user has arrived at the destination (designated station) at this time. To do.

  After that, the Sier server 3 specifies the section where the user actually used the bus based on the bus boarding information D13 and the bus boarding information D14, and based on the boarding information D15 and the boarding information D16. The section where the user actually uses the railway is specified. Further, the Sier server 3 includes bus fare settlement request information D105 that requests the user to settle the fare for the section using the bus, and rail fare settlement request information that the user requests to settle the fare for the section that uses the railway. D106 is generated and stored in the storage unit 22.

  Then, the Sier server 3 transmits the bus fare settlement request information D105 to the bus company server 4 in step SP122. Further, the Sier server 3 transmits the railway fare settlement request information D106 to the railway company server 5 in step SP123.

  Thereafter, when the bus company server 4 receives the bus fare settlement request information D105 from the Sier server 3, the bus company server 4 executes a settlement process in which the user settles the fare for the section using the bus based on the bus fare settlement request information D105. To do. Similarly, when the railway company server 5 receives the railway fare settlement request information D106 from the Sier server 3, the railway company server 5 performs a settlement process in which the user settles the fare for the section using the railway based on the railway fare settlement request information D106.
