Techniques for performing a rediscovery are disclosed.

JP, 2006-343343, A

The route notification system described in Patent Document 1 searches for a route for so-called regular route transportation means such as buses and trains. However, if a user is supposed to use demand-type transportation such as a taxi or an on-demand bus, the situation of public transportation will change every moment due to reservations made by other users. Therefore, the optimal route for the user may change depending on the reservation of another user. In addition, since the situation of public transportation changes with the passage of time, the user must request a new route search each time in order to select the optimum route. Therefore, the user is required to make an effort for requesting a search for an optimum route.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and in a route notification system that notifies a user of a route to reach a destination, a better route can be provided while reducing the labor of the user. The purpose is to provide a technology that can notify the user.

The present invention has been made to solve at least a part of the problems described above, and can be realized as the following modes.

(1) According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a route notification system for notifying a user who uses transportation means including public transportation of a route to reach a destination. This route notification system includes an acquisition unit that acquires traffic information including reservation information of another user who uses the transportation means, a route search unit that searches for the route using the traffic information, and the route search. A notification unit that notifies the route searched by the unit, the route search unit uses the traffic information newly acquired by the acquisition unit to newly search for a route to the destination, and the notification The unit notifies the newly searched route when the newly searched route satisfies a preset notification condition.

According to this configuration, in the route notification system, when the route newly searched by the route search unit satisfies the preset notification condition, the user is notified of the newly searched route. As a result, the user is automatically notified of the optimal route according to changes in traffic conditions such as reservations made by other users, so that the user does not have to search for a new route each time. The labor of the user can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to provide the user with a better route according to changes in traffic conditions.

(2) In the route notification system of the above aspect, the notification unit satisfies the notification condition in which the newly searched route is preset regardless of whether or not a new route search is requested by the user. In this case, the newly searched route may be notified to the user. According to this structure, if the notification condition is satisfied, the notification unit notifies the user of the newly searched route regardless of whether or not the user newly requests the search of the route. Thereby, the labor of the user can be reduced.

(3) The route notification system of the above aspect includes a reservation processing unit that reserves the transportation means, and the notification unit newly notifies the user of the newly searched route when notifying the newly searched route. It is possible to notify selection confirmation whether or not to select the searched route, the acquisition unit, it is possible to acquire the selection information indicating the selection result of the user from the user, the reservation processing unit, When the user selects the newly searched route, the travel means may be reserved based on the newly searched route. According to this configuration, when the user selects the newly searched route, the reservation processing unit automatically reserves the transportation means based on the selected newly searched route. As a result, the user can reduce the labor required to reserve the transportation means.

(4) In the route notification system according to the above aspect, when the acquisition unit acquires traffic information including new reservation information, the notification unit confirms with the other user whether or not the transportation means can be shared. If it is possible to notify, and the newly searched route includes a transportation means newly reserved by the other user, the other route is notified before the newly searched route is notified to the user. The user may be notified of the confirmation of the possibility of carpooling, and when the acquisition unit has acquired the propriety information indicating that carpooling is possible, the user may be notified of the newly searched route.
According to this configuration, when the newly searched route includes a transportation means newly booked by another user, the notification unit notifies the user of the newly searched route before reporting the newly searched route. Confirm with the user whether carpooling is possible. This prevents troubles such as refusal of carpool when the user actually uses the transportation newly reserved by another user after notifying the user of the newly searched route. be able to.

(5) The route notification system of the above mode uses the information on the newly searched route and the notification conditions of each of the plurality of users, and the newly searched among the plurality of users. A setting unit configured to set the notification order of the route, the setting unit, when the newly searched route satisfies the notification condition, the notification unit sets the newly searched route to the plurality of users. Before notifying the user, the notification order of the newly searched route among the plurality of users is set, and the notification unit is newly searched according to the notification order set by the setting unit. The route may be notified to the user in order.
According to this configuration, the setting unit uses the information about the newly searched route and the notification condition set by the user before notifying the plurality of users of the newly searched route. Set the notification order among multiple users. The notification unit sequentially notifies the user of the newly searched route in the notification order set by the setting unit. With this, it is possible to limit the number of users who use a specific route according to the priority set by the setting unit by using the notification order, so that the concentration of users on the specific route is suppressed. At the same time, it is possible to improve the degree of satisfaction of the route notification system among all users.

It should be noted that the present invention can be implemented in various modes, for example, a route notification method, a computer program for causing a computer to perform route notification, a server device for distributing the computer program, and a temporary storage of the computer program. It can be realized in a form such as an unintended storage medium.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the schematic configuration and operation of the route notification system 10 according to the first embodiment. The route notification system 10 of the present embodiment notifies the user 30 who uses the public transportation system 20 of the route to reach the destination of the user 30. FIG. 1 shows an exchange with a configuration related to the route notification system 10 in a route notification process described later.

The public transportation system 20 includes public transportation means used by unspecified logarithmic users, including regular line transportation and demand transportation. Here, the line regular traffic is a transportation means that operates on a predetermined operation route according to a preset operation schedule, and includes, for example, a route bus and a railroad. Be done. In addition, the demand type traffic is a transportation means in which an operation route and an operation schedule are set according to a user's request and the operation is performed in accordance with the operation route and operation schedule. The demand-type traffic includes, for example, taxis including the autonomous driving type and demand buses, but the demand-type traffic is not limited to this.

The user 30 is a person who uses the route notification system 10 to search the route of the transportation means to each destination. In the present embodiment, four users 30A, 30B, 30C, 30D use the route notification system 10.
The other user 40 is a person who makes a reservation in the public transportation system 20 to use the transportation means. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the other user 40 uses an autonomous driving taxi, which is one of demand-type transportation.
In the present embodiment, each of the user 30 and the other user 40 has terminal information capable of communicating with the route notification system 10 via the Internet. The user 30 and the other user 40 use this information terminal to exchange information with the route notification system 10.

The route notification system 10 includes an acquisition unit 11, a route search unit 12, a notification unit 13, a reservation processing unit 14, a setting unit 15, and a user database 16. The acquisition unit 11, the route search unit 12, the notification unit 13, the reservation processing unit 14, and the setting unit 15 are realized by the CPU expanding the computer program stored in the ROM into the RAM. The user database 16 is composed of a CPU, a ROM and a RAM.

The acquisition unit 11 periodically acquires traffic information including the current position, operation schedule, reservation information, future position, and the like of various transportation means included in the public transportation system 20. Specifically, the traffic information of the regular route type traffic includes a current position, an operation schedule, a future position calculated from the operation schedule, and a fare. Further, the traffic information of the demand type traffic includes a current position, reservation information of another user 40 who uses the demand type traffic, a future position calculated from the reservation information, and a charge. The acquisition unit 11 outputs the acquired traffic information to the route search unit 12.

Further, the acquisition unit 11 can acquire selection information indicating a result of whether or not the user 30 selects a newly searched route, and availability information indicating whether or not the user 30 can join the carpool. .. The acquisition unit 11 outputs the selection information or the availability information to the notification unit 13. Details of the operation of the acquisition unit 11 will be described later.

The route search unit 12 searches for the route of the user 30 using the traffic information acquired by the acquisition unit 11. For example, when the acquisition unit 11 acquires the traffic information updated by the reservation of another user 40, the route search unit 12 newly searches for a route to the destination using the updated traffic information. The route search unit 12 outputs the searched route to the notification unit 13 and the setting unit 15. Details of the operation of the route search unit 12 will be described later.

The notification unit 13 notifies the user 30 of the route searched by the route search unit 12. In addition, when notifying the user 30 of the newly searched route using the updated traffic information, the notification unit 13 notifies the user 30 of the selection confirmation of the newly searched route. In addition, when the newly searched route satisfies the notification condition, the notification unit 13 notifies the other users 40 of whether or not the carpool is possible before notifying the user 30 of the newly searched route. Details of the operation of the notification unit 13 will be described later.

The reservation processing unit 14 reserves the transportation means of the user 30. Specifically, when the user 30 selects a newly searched route, the reservation processing unit 14 reserves the public transportation system 20 based on the newly searched route. Details of the operation of the reservation processing unit 14 will be described later.

Before the notification unit 13 notifies the plurality of users 30 of the newly searched route, the setting unit 15 uses the information about the newly searched route and the notification condition of each of the plurality of users 30, The notification order of the newly searched route among the plurality of users 30 is set. The setting unit 15 outputs the set notification order to the notification unit 13. Details of the operation of the setting unit 15 will be described later.

The user database 16 is electrically connected to the notification unit 13 and the setting unit 15. The user database 16 stores personal information of the user 30 and notification conditions for notifying the user 30 of a newly searched route.

Next, details of the route notification processing of the route notification system 10 will be described. The route notification processing of the route notification system 10 of the present embodiment is performed in the order of the numbers from the white arrow F1 to the arrow F11 shown in FIG.

First, as indicated by the white arrow F1 in FIG. 1, the acquisition unit 11 acquires the traffic information of the public transportation system 20. The acquisition of the traffic information by the acquisition unit 11 is regularly performed. Note that the acquisition of the traffic information by the acquisition unit 11 may be output to the acquisition unit 11 triggered by the reservation of the transportation means by another user 40.

Next, as shown by a white arrow F2 in FIG. 1, a route search request is input to the route notification system 10 from each of the plurality of users 30. Specifically, from each of the plurality of users 30, the respective present location or departure location, destination, set time, and notification of a newly searched route described later (white arrow F8 in FIG. 1) are sent. The notification condition used for determining whether or not to perform is input to the route notification system 10. In the route notification system 10, when a route search request from the user 30 is input, the route search unit 12 searches for a route using the traffic information acquired by the acquisition unit 11.

Next, as shown by the white arrow F3 in FIG. 1, the route notification system 10 notifies the user 30 of the route of the public transportation system 20 which is the search result of the route search unit 12. The user 30 will travel to the destination using the route notified by the route notification system 10.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the operation of the route notification system 10 of this embodiment. FIG. 2 schematically shows a route map of a subway as an example of regular line transportation. Circles and squares in which a combination of alphabets and numbers such as H08 and T13 are described represent subway stations.

In FIG. 2, for example, the user 30 moves from the station H22 to the station T20. When the user 30 uses the route notification system 10 to search for a route to travel from the station H22 to the station T20, the user 30 leaves the station H22 and then changes trains at the station H16 and the station M20. Is notified (dotted line L30 in FIG. 2). That is, the station H22 is the departure place of the user 30, and the station T20 is the destination of the user 30.

Returning to FIG. 1, next, another user 40 makes a reservation with the public transportation system 20 as indicated by a white arrow F4 in FIG.
Specifically, the other user 40 makes a reservation to the public transportation system 20 so that the user 40 may travel from the departure point P1 to the destination P2 by using the autonomous driving taxi C40. At this time, the route through which the autonomous driving taxi C40 passes is a route that departs from the starting point P1, passes through the stations H19 and T19, and reaches the destination P2 as shown in FIG. 2 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 2). See L40).

Next, as indicated by the white arrow F5 in FIG. 1, the acquisition unit 11 acquires new traffic information of the public transportation system 20. At this time, the new traffic information acquired by the acquisition unit 11 is traffic information including reservation information for the autonomous driving taxi by the other user 40. Therefore, the route search unit 12 newly searches for a route from the departure point of the user 30 to the destination using the new traffic information of the public transportation system 20.

A specific example of the new route searched by the route search unit 12 will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the route search unit 12 searches for a new route to search for the route L31 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. Specifically, following the route L31, the subway SW30 departs from the station H22, and then at the station H19, transfers from the subway SW30 to an autonomous driving taxi C40 on which another user 40 is aboard. When the autonomous driving taxi C40 arrives at the station T19, the user 30 transfers to the subway SW30 again and moves from the station T19 to the station T20.
When the traffic information of the public transportation system 20 is updated, the route search unit 12 thus searches for the optimal route for the user 30 as a new route.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the route notification process of this embodiment. FIG. 4 is a flowchart continued from FIG. FIG. 5 is a continuation of the flowchart of FIG. The flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 show the processing from the white arrow F4 to the white arrow F9 in FIG.
First, in step S1, another user 40 is reserved in the public transportation system 20 (white arrow F4 in FIG. 1).

Next, the route search unit 12 makes the determinations of step S2 and step S3 shown in the flowchart of FIG.
Specifically, in step S2, the route search unit 12 determines that the moving means newly added to the newly searched route (hereinafter referred to as “additional moving means” corresponds to the autonomous driving taxi C40 in FIG. 2). It is determined whether or not it is a mode of transportation capable of carpooling. If it is determined that the additional moving means is a moving means capable of carpooling, the process proceeds to step S3. If it is determined that the additional transportation means is not a transportation method that can be shared, the procedure returns to step S1 and remains at step S1 until a new reservation is made.

Next, in step S3, the route search unit 12 determines whether or not the additional moving means is set to allow joint ownership. Specifically, the route search unit 12 determines whether or not the additional transportation means is set to allow joint ownership. If it is determined that the additional transportation means is set to allow joint ownership, the process proceeds to step S4. If it is determined that the additional transportation means is not set to allow joint transportation, the process returns to step S1 and remains at step S1 until a new reservation is made.

Next, in step S4, confirmation of acceptance/rejection of a person who matches the notification condition is notified. Specifically, the notification unit 13 notifies the other user 40 who is on the additional transportation means of the confirmation of the possibility of carpool (white arrow F6 in FIG. 1).
Next, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the other user 40 has consented to the carpool. Specifically, the acquisition unit 11 acquires the permission/prohibition information indicating the permission/prohibition of carpooling from another user 40 (white arrow F7 in FIG. 1 ). The notification unit 13 uses the availability information acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to determine whether or not another user 40 who is on the additional transportation means has consented to the carpool. If it is determined that the other user 40 has consented to the carpool, the process proceeds to step S6 in FIG. When it is determined that the other user 40 has refused the carpool, the process returns to step S1 and remains at step S1 until a new reservation is made.

Next, in step S6, the user 30 who satisfies the conditions for carpooling is extracted. Specifically, the notification unit 13 accesses the user database 16 and uses the notification conditions of each of the plurality of users 30 to count the users 30 that satisfy the joint ownership condition.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating notification conditions in the route notification processing of this embodiment. In FIG. 6, as an example of the user 30, the comparison result of each of the four users 30A, 30B, 30C, 30D, the sex, the preset notification conditions, and the newly searched route is shown. Showing. In the description of the notification conditions in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the other user 40 is a woman whose “sex” is female and whose “carriage allowance condition” is only female.

The user 30A out of the four users 30 does not meet the conditions for allowing other users 40 to share a car, because the “sex” is male. For this reason, the user 30A is not extracted as a person who satisfies the conditions for carpooling (marked with “x” in the “carpooling determination result” in FIG. 6 ). That is, the user 30A is not notified of the newly searched route.
On the other hand, among the four users 30, the users 30B, 30C, and 30D have the “sex” of female, and thus meet the conditions for allowing other users 40 to share a car. As a result, the users 30B, 30C, and 30D are extracted as users who satisfy the conditions that allow joint ownership (marked with “◯” in “joint determination result” in FIG. 6).
In step S<b>6, in this way, a person who matches the joint-possible condition of the other user 40 is extracted from the plurality of users 30 as a user who satisfies the joint-possible condition. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that N persons have been extracted as users who satisfy the conditions for carpooling.

Next, in step S7, the number "i" of the target person list is set to 0, and the route search processing loop from step S8 to step S11 is executed. Specifically, the route search unit 12 executes a new route search for each of the plurality of users 30 (step S8). The notification unit 13 determines whether or not the route searched by the route search unit 12 satisfies the notification condition of the user 30 (step S9). If the notification condition is satisfied, the user 30 is prioritized. (Step S10).

The processing from step S8 to step S10 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. In the processing from step S8 to step S10, it is determined using the notification conditions of the users 30B, 30C, and 30D whether or not the searched route satisfies the notification conditions.
For example, in the case of the user 30B, the "notification condition" is "the required time is shortened by 10 minutes or the charge is reduced by 100 yen", but the route searched in the past and the "newly searched route""Comparisonresult" shows that "the required time will be reduced by 15 minutes and the charge will be reduced by 100 yen". From this, since the newly searched route satisfies the notification condition of the user 30B, the “notification condition” becomes “◯”, and the user 30B is added to the prioritized users. The same applies to the user 30D.

On the other hand, in the case of the user 30C, the "notification condition" is "the required time is shortened by 20 minutes or the charge is reduced by 300 yen", but the route searched in the past and the "route newly searched" "Comparison result", "the required time will be reduced by 15 minutes and the charge will be reduced by 200 yen". From this, the newly searched route does not satisfy the notification condition of the user 30C, and thus the "notification condition" becomes "x" and is not added to the prioritized person.

In step S11 subsequent to step S10, "i" is set to "i+1", and steps S8 to S11 are repeated for all users 30 whose sharing conditions are "○". After “i” becomes “N” and steps S8 to S11 are performed, the route search processing loop ends.

Next, in step S12, the number of users 30 added to the prioritized persons in step S10 is counted. Here, as shown in FIG. 5, there are M persons.

Next, in step S13, the users 30 added to the prioritized users are sorted in order of priority. Specifically, the notification unit 13 sorts the users 30 added to the prioritized users in the order of required time or charge.
For example, regarding the user 30B and the user 30D shown in FIG. 6, focusing on the required time, the shortened time (minus 15 minutes) of the user 30B is shorter than the shortened time (minus 5 minutes) of the user 30D. .. As a result, when they are sorted in the order of the required time, the priority becomes the user 30B and then the user 30D.
Further, focusing on the charge, the reduction amount of the user 30D (minus 200 yen) is larger than the reduction amount of the user 30B (minus 100 minutes). As a result, when sorted in the order of charges, the priority becomes user 30B next to user 30D.
In step S13, the users 30 added to the prioritized persons are sorted in this way.

Next, in step S14, the number "j" of the priority list is set to 0, and the notification processing loop from step S15 to step S18 is executed. Specifically, the notification unit 13 notifies the newly searched route in the priority order sorted in step S13 (white arrow F8 in FIG. 1 and step S15). The acquisition unit 11 accepts whether or not there is a response from the user 30 notified of the newly searched route (white arrow F9 in FIG. 1, and step S16), and accepts the selection of the newly searched route. Whether or not (step S17) is acquired.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of notification in the route notification processing of this embodiment. In the white arrow F8 and step S15 of FIG. 1, the notification unit 13 notifies the information terminal of the user 30 of the message 60 as shown in FIG. The user 30 who sees the message 60 shown in FIG. 7 presses the “accept” button B1 to accept the selection of the newly searched and proposed route, and the “reject” button B2 to reject the selection. push. Acceptance or refusal of the selection of the newly searched route by the user 30 is acquired by the acquisition unit 11 as selection information.

In step S16, if there is no response from the user 30 notified of the newly searched route, step S16 is repeated. When the selection of the newly searched route is accepted in step S17, the notification processing loop is exited and the notification processing loop is ended.
If there is a response from the user 30 who is notified of the newly searched route and the newly searched route is rejected without being selected, “j” is set to “j+1” in step S18. , Steps S15 to S18 are repeated for all the users 30 added to the prioritized persons. After “j” becomes “M” and steps S15 to S18 are performed, the notification processing loop ends.

Returning to FIG. 1, as indicated by the white arrow F10 in FIG. 1, the route notification system 10 notifies the other user 40 of the result of the notification processing loop shown in FIG. Specifically, the notification unit 13 notifies that there is a user 30 who has accepted the selection of the route newly searched by the notification processing loop.

Next, as indicated by the white arrow F11 in FIG. 1, the route notification system 10 moves the user 30 who has accepted the selection of the route newly searched by the notification processing loop based on the newly searched route. Make a reservation for the means. Specifically, the reservation processing unit 14 receives the approval of the newly searched route of the user 30 in the notification unit 13 and the notification of the white arrow F10 to the other users 40, and informs the public transportation system 20 of it. Make a reservation for the corresponding user 30.
In this way, the route notification system 10 notifies the user 30 of the route.

According to the route notification system 10 of the present embodiment described above, when the route newly searched by the route search unit 12 satisfies the preset notification condition in the route notification system 10, the route is newly searched. The route is notified to the user 30 (white arrow F8 in FIG. 1). As a result, the user 30 is automatically notified of the optimum route according to changes in traffic conditions such as reservations made by other users 40, so that the user 30 needs to search a new route each time. Is eliminated, and the labor of the user 30 can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to provide the user 30 with a better route according to changes in traffic conditions.

Further, according to the route notification system 10 of the present embodiment, the notification unit 13 notifies the preset route of the newly searched route regardless of whether the user 30 has requested a new route search. If the condition is satisfied, the newly searched route is notified to the user 30. Thereby, the labor of the user 30 can be reduced.

Further, according to the route notification system 10 of the present embodiment, when the user 30 selects the newly searched route (white arrow F9 in FIG. 1), the reservation processing unit 14 automatically selects the route. The transportation means is reserved based on the newly searched route (white arrow F11 in FIG. 1). As a result, the user 30 can reduce the labor required to reserve the transportation means.

Further, according to the route notification system 10 of the present embodiment, when the travel route newly reserved by another user 40 is included in the newly searched route, the notification unit 13 causes the user 30 to newly search. Before notifying the established route, whether or not it is possible to share the car with another user 40 is confirmed (white arrow F6 in FIG. 1). As a result, when the user 30 actually uses the transportation means newly booked by another user 40 after notifying the user 30 of the newly searched route, troubles such as sharing are refused. Can be prevented.

Further, according to the route notification system 10 of the present embodiment, the setting unit 15 notifies the plurality of users 30 of the information about the newly searched route and the users before the notification of the newly searched route. The notification order among a plurality of users is set using the notification conditions set by 30. The notification unit 13 sequentially notifies the user 30 of the newly searched route according to the notification order set by the setting unit 15. As a result, the number of users 30 who use a specific route according to the priority set by the setting unit 15 can be limited by using the notification order, so that the users 30 are concentrated on the specific route. It is possible to suppress the above and improve the satisfaction of the route notification system 10 among the plurality of users 30 as a whole.
