[Overview of event notification system S]
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an outline of the event notification system S. The event notification system S is a system that notifies the driver who drives the vehicle of information about an event held in the area around the vehicle. A vehicle is a vehicle that transports passengers, such as a taxi. The event notification system S includes a vehicle terminal 1 and an event notification device 2.

The vehicle terminal 1 is a terminal provided in the vehicle, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, a car navigation system, or the like. The vehicle terminal 1 is a terminal used by a driver who drives a vehicle, and displays a map of the area around the vehicle and information about an event held in the area around the vehicle. Here, the driver in the present specification is a person who has knowledge and experience in the business of transporting passengers such as a taxi driver.

The event notification device 2 is a device that notifies information about an event, for example, a server. The event notification device 2 stores event information, which is information about an event. The event information includes, for example, the date and time of the event, the place where the event is held, the name of the event, and the event type. The event information may be stored by an external server. In this case, the event notification device 2 acquires event information from an external server and displays the acquired event information.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, first, the vehicle terminal 1 acquires the position of the vehicle terminal 1, that is, the position information indicating the position of the vehicle including the vehicle terminal 1, and transmits the acquired position information to the event notification device 2. (1) of FIG. The event notification device 2 identifies an event to be held in the area around the vehicle position indicated by the acquired position information based on the event information stored in advance ((2) in FIG. 1). The peripheral area is, for example, a range from the position of the vehicle to a predetermined distance (for example, 1 km).

The event notification device 2 is set to notify the driver of the event information and re-notify the notified event information by displaying the first user interface for notifying the event information indicating the specified event on the vehicle terminal 1. The second user interface that accepts is displayed ((3) in FIG. 1). The user interface that the event notification device 2 displays on the vehicle terminal 1 is, for example, a screen or a part of the area included in the screen. By doing so, the driver can set the re-notification of the notified event at the driver's discretion.

For example, if the driver thinks that he / she cannot make a profit even if he / she operates near the venue of the notified event, the driver operates without considering the notified event information. On the other hand, if the driver thinks that it is possible to make a profit by operating near the venue of the notified event, the driver wishes to re-notify the event information in the second user interface displayed on the vehicle terminal 1. Set the notification time. When the driver sets the re-notification time for re-notifying the event information in the second user interface, the vehicle terminal 1 transmits the setting information indicating the re-notification time of the set event information to the event notification device 2 (FIG. 1).

For example, when the passenger is not in the vehicle, the output control unit 173 displays the event information on the display unit 12 and outputs the voice read out from the event information to the speaker 13. On the other hand, the output control unit 173 displays the event information on the display unit 12 when the passenger is in the vehicle, and does not output the voice read out from the event information to the speaker 13. The output control unit 173 may determine, for example, the presence or absence of passengers based on the passenger's boarding status (vacant car, renting, etc.) input by the driver to the vehicle terminal 1, or an indicator light (not shown) provided in the taxi. The presence or absence of passengers may be determined based on the passenger riding status indicated by the super sign).

The operation reception unit 174 receives the driver's operation via the operation unit 14. Specifically, the operation reception unit 174 receives an operation in which the driver selects one candidate time from a plurality of candidate times in the second user interface displayed on the display unit 12 via the operation unit 14. Accepts operations to set re-notification of event information. When the operation reception unit 174 receives the operation for setting the re-notification of the event information, the transmission unit 171 notifies the event of the selected candidate time, that is, the setting information indicating the set re-notification time via the communication unit 11. It is transmitted to the device 2.

The event notification device 2 has a communication unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a control unit 23. The communication unit 21 is an interface for connecting to a network, and is configured to include, for example, a LAN controller.

The storage unit 22 is a storage medium such as a ROM, RAM, and a hard disk. The storage unit 22 stores a program executed by the control unit 23. Further, the storage unit 22 has an event management database that manages event information, a setting history database that manages whether or not re-notification is set in the event information notified in the past, and a vehicle owned by a business operator that transports passengers. The vehicle management database that manages the information is stored.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a database stored in the storage unit 22. The event management database shown in FIG. 3A stores the date and time of the event, the venue, the event name, the event type, and the event scale in association with each other. The venue indicates the location where the event is held, for example, an address or a facility name. The event types are, for example, sports (professional baseball, etc.), concerts, plays, exhibitions, and the like. The event scale is, for example, the number of participants in the event announced by the event management company, the number of participants in the facility where the event is held, and the like.

The setting history database shown in FIG. 3B stores event information, vehicle identification information, and setting presence / absence information in association with each other. The vehicle identification information is information for identifying a vehicle. The vehicle identification information stored in the setting history database indicates the vehicle to which the event information has been notified. The setting presence / absence information is information indicating whether or not re-notification of event information is set.

The business operator management database shown in FIG. 3C stores the business operator name, the business area, and the vehicle identification information in association with each other. The business area is, for example, the business area of a business operator authorized by a government agency. The vehicle identification information stored in the business operator management database indicates the vehicle owned by the business operator.

Returning to FIG. 2, the control unit 23 is, for example, a CPU. The control unit 23 functions as the acquisition unit 231, the event identification unit 232, and the notification unit 233 by executing the program stored in the storage unit 22.

The acquisition unit 231 functions as a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information indicating the position of the vehicle from the vehicle terminal 1 via the communication unit 21. The acquisition unit 231 may acquire the vehicle identification information indicating the vehicle that transmitted the position information together with the position information via the communication unit 21. Further, the acquisition unit 231 may acquire the position information when the current time has passed the re-notification time indicated by the setting information after the notification unit 233, which will be described later, has notified the event information. The acquisition unit 231 acquires position information from the vehicle terminal 1 at predetermined intervals, for example, via the communication unit 21.

When the setting for re-notifying the event information is received in the second user interface displayed on the vehicle terminal 1, the acquisition unit 231 re-notifies the event information from the vehicle terminal 1 via the communication unit 21. It also functions as a setting information acquisition unit that acquires setting information indicating the notification time. Specifically, the acquisition unit 231 receives the setting information from the vehicle terminal 1 via the communication unit 21 when the setting for re-notifying the event information is received after the notification unit 233, which will be described later, notifies the event information. To get.

The event identification unit 232 identifies the event based on the position of the vehicle indicated by the acquired position information and the acquisition time when the position information is acquired. Specifically, the event identification unit 232 is an event held at a place where the distance from the vehicle position is shorter than the first threshold value, which is a predetermined threshold value, and the acquisition time when the acquisition unit 231 acquires the position information is set. Identify events that will be held within a given period of time, including.

The first threshold value is a value set as a range in which the vehicle can move for business purposes, for example, at a preset distance (for example, 10 km), or at a city, ward, town, or village adjacent to the city, ward, town, or village where the vehicle is located. is there. The first threshold value may be set to a different value depending on the event element (for example, event scale or event type) that can affect the demand of the vehicle. For example, when the event element is an event scale, the first threshold value is that the larger the event scale, the longer the distance from the vehicle position, and the smaller the event scale, the shorter the distance from the vehicle position. The predetermined period is a value set as a period during which the event can be held during the working hours of the driver, and is, for example, the day, after the acquisition time, or from 1 hour to 6 hours after the acquisition time.

More specifically, the event identification unit 232 includes the event location where the distance from the vehicle position is shorter than the first threshold value and the event date and time included in the predetermined period including the acquisition time when the acquisition unit 231 acquires the position information. The event is identified by extracting the event information stored in the event management database in association with.

The event identification unit 232 may specify an event to be held in the business area of the business operator who owns the vehicle. Specifically, the event identification unit 232 sets the holding time included in the predetermined period including the acquisition time when the acquisition unit 231 acquires the position information and the vehicle identification information acquired by the acquisition unit 231 in the event management database. Identify an event by extracting the event information that is stored in association with the venue that is in the business area that is associated and stored in the vehicle management database and that is shorter than the first threshold. You may.

The notification unit 233 notifies the event information by displaying the first user interface for notifying the event information, which is the information about the event specified by the event identification unit 232, on the vehicle terminal 1, and re-notifies the event information. The second user interface that accepts the setting of is displayed on the vehicle terminal 1.

Specifically, first, the notification unit 233 provides the event information for displaying the first user interface and the re-notification candidate information for displaying the second user interface to the vehicle terminal 1 via the communication unit 21. Send to. The "event information for displaying the first user interface" is the event information extracted from the event management database by the event identification unit 232. Then, when the acquisition unit 172 of the vehicle terminal 1 acquires the event information and the re-notification candidate information via the communication unit 11, the output control unit 173 has the first user interface displaying the event information and the re-notification candidate. The display unit 12 displays the second user interface on which the information is displayed.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the vehicle terminal 1. FIG. 4A is a map display screen. On the map screen shown in FIG. 4A, a map display area R1 displaying the periphery of the vehicle position and an event display area R2 displaying event information are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 4A, when the acquisition unit 231 of the vehicle terminal 1 acquires the event information from the event notification device 2, the output control unit 173 displays the event display area R2 displaying the acquired event information. Display on 12.

When the driver presses the detail button B1 displayed in the event display area R2, the output control unit 173 displays the event detail screen shown in FIG. 4B displaying the second user interface together with the first user interface on the display unit 12. Display it. On the event details screen shown in FIG. 4B, an event display area R3 in which event information is displayed as the first interface and a re-notification button B2 for setting re-notification of event information as the second interface are displayed. ing.

When the driver presses the re-notification button B2, the output control unit 173 causes the display unit 12 to display the re-notification setting screen shown in FIG. 4 (c). On the re-notification setting screen shown in FIG. 4 (c), a setting display area R4 for accepting the re-notification setting of event information is displayed. When the driver presses one of the plurality of buttons corresponding to each of the plurality of candidate times displayed on the re-notification setting screen, the transmitter 171 sends the candidate time associated with the button pressed by the driver. That is, the setting information indicating the re-notification time, which is the candidate time selected by the driver, is transmitted to the event notification device 2.

In the above, when the driver presses the re-notification button B2 provided on the event detail screen shown in FIG. 4 (b), the output control unit 173 displays the re-notification setting screen shown in FIG. 4 (c) on the display unit 12. I explained an example of making it, but it is not limited to this. For example, the re-notification button B2 may be associated with a predetermined re-notification time (for example, one hour after the event date and time) in advance. In this case, when the driver presses the re-notification button B2, the transmission unit 171 may transmit the setting information indicating a predetermined re-notification time associated with the re-notification button B2 to the event notification device 2.

Returning to FIG. 2, the notification unit 233 may display the event information on the vehicle terminal 1 according to the scale of the event. Specifically, the notification unit 233 transmits the event information to the vehicle terminal 1 when the event scale of the event specified by the event identification unit 232 in the event management database is larger than another predetermined threshold value different from the first threshold value. It may be displayed. Another predetermined threshold is a value set as the event scale at which the demand for vehicles can be high at the venue of the event. By doing so, the notification unit 233 can notify the event information with a high probability that the vehicle will be profitable by operating in the vicinity of the event venue.

The notification unit 233 may re-notify the event information when the driver sets the re-notification of the event information in the second user interface displayed on the vehicle terminal 1. Specifically, the notification unit 233 transmits the event information to the vehicle terminal 1 when the acquisition unit 231 acquires the setting information from the vehicle terminal 1 and the current time elapses from the re-notification time indicated by the setting information. The event information may be re-notified by transmitting it again.

Further, the notification unit 233 may re-notify the event information when the current time elapses from the re-notification time set by the driver, and may redisplay the second user interface on the vehicle terminal 1. By doing so, for example, when the event has not ended even after the re-notification set time in which the driver first set the re-notification of the event information has elapsed, the event notification device 2 gives the driver an event again. Information re-notification can be set.

The notification unit 233 re-notifies the event information by redisplaying the first user interface on the vehicle terminal 1 when the current time has passed the re-notification time set by the driver, and the event identification unit 232 has specified it. The vehicle terminal 1 may display a third user interface that displays the demand status of the vehicle on a map showing the area around the venue of the event. The demand status of the vehicle is information indicating the customer's boarding status within a predetermined period (for example, within a period of about 5 minutes of the re-notification time), or in addition to the information, past statistical customers on the day of the week and the time zone. It is information which shows the boarding situation of.

In this case, the acquisition unit 231 may further function as a demand status acquisition unit that acquires information indicating the demand status of the vehicle transporting passengers in the area around the specified event venue. For example, when the current time has passed the re-notification time set by the driver, the acquisition unit 231 acquires information indicating the demand status in the area around the event venue from an external server that manages the demand status of the vehicle. To do. Then, when the current time elapses from the re-notification time set by the driver, the notification unit 233 re-notifies the event information by redisplaying the first user interface on the vehicle terminal 1, and the acquisition unit 231 acquires it. A third user interface displaying the demand status of the vehicle may be displayed on the vehicle terminal 1.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the vehicle terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 5A, the demand status display button B3 may be provided on the event details screen. When the driver presses the demand status display button B3, the output control unit 173 of the vehicle terminal 1 may display the demand status display screen shown in FIG. 5B on the display unit 12, or display the event details screen. The demand status display screen may be constantly displayed on the display unit 12 without intervention.

On the demand status display screen shown in FIG. 5 (b), as a third user interface, roads (roads L1 and L2 shown in FIG. 5 (b)) in which the degree of demand for vehicles in the area around the event venue is high are vehicles. It is displayed in a different manner from other roads where the demand level of the road is low. By doing so, the driver can confirm the demand status of the vehicle in the area around the venue of the event displayed in the third user interface. For example, when there are multiple exits in a large facility where an event is held, the driver recognizes which exit to operate by checking the demand status of the vehicle displayed on the third user interface. be able to.

Returning to FIG. 2, the notification unit 233 may re-notify the event information when the event information re-notification is set and the vehicle is not away from the event venue. Specifically, the notification unit 233 may re-notify the event information when the distance from the position of the vehicle to the venue of the event corresponding to the setting information is shorter than the second threshold value different from the first threshold value. .. The second threshold may be the same as or different from other predetermined thresholds set as the event scale at which the demand for vehicles can be high at the event venue. By doing so, for example, when the position of the vehicle after transporting passengers moves away from the event venue and it becomes difficult to go to the event venue, the event information is unnecessarily re-notified. You can prevent that.

The notification unit 233 may give priority to event information including an event type in which a large proportion of re-notification settings have been set in the past. Specifically, the notification unit 233 has setting presence / absence information indicating that re-notification has been set among the plurality of event types stored in the setting history database (“Yes” in the example shown in FIG. 3B). ) May be given priority in the event information including the event type with a large ratio.

For example, when the event identification unit 232 identifies a plurality of events, the notification unit 233 uses a first user interface that displays a list of a plurality of event information in order of the event type in which the ratio of re-notification settings in the past is large. It may be displayed on the terminal 1. Further, the notification unit 233 displays, for example, a first user interface on the vehicle terminal 1 that displays event information corresponding to an event type in which the ratio of re-notification set in the past is equal to or higher than a predetermined third threshold value. You may let me. By doing so, the notification unit 233 can notify the event information that is highly likely to be profitable if it operates near the venue.

The notification unit 233 may re-notify the event information to the vehicle terminal 1 in which the re-notification is set, depending on the flow status of people in the area around the event venue. In this case, the acquisition unit 231 may further function as a flow information acquisition unit that acquires flow information indicating a situation in which a person is flowing. The acquisition unit 231 acquires the flow information corresponding to the area around the event venue specified by the event identification unit 232 from, for example, an external server that manages the flow information. In this case, the notification unit 233 sets the re-notification of the event information based on the flow information when the number of people flowing in the area around the specified event venue is larger than the predetermined fourth threshold value. The event information may be re-notified to the vehicle terminal 1.

The notification unit 233 may, for example, re-notify the event information at a timing when the number of people flowing in the area around the event venue exceeds a predetermined fourth threshold value, or may re-notify the event information at a predetermined time including the re-notification set time. Even if the event information is re-notified within the period (for example, around 30 minutes of the re-notification set time) when the number of people flowing in the area around the event venue exceeds a predetermined fourth threshold value. Good. By doing so, the driver can recognize that the event may have ended.

[Processing of event notification system S]
Subsequently, the processing of the event notification system S will be described. FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing a processing flow of the event notification system S. This process is started when the position information acquisition unit 15 of the vehicle terminal 1 acquires the position information indicating the position of the vehicle (S1). The transmission unit 171 of the vehicle terminal 1 transmits the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 15 to the event notification device 2 (S2).

When the acquisition unit 231 of the event notification device 2 acquires the position information from the vehicle terminal 1, the event identification unit 232 of the event notification device 2 is an event held at a place where the distance from the position of the vehicle is shorter than the first threshold value. The event to be held within a predetermined period including the acquisition time when the acquisition unit 231 acquires the position information is specified (S3).

The notification unit 233 of the event notification device 2 notifies the event information by displaying the first user interface for notifying the event information, which is the information about the event specified by the event identification unit 232, on the vehicle terminal 1, and also notifies the event information. The vehicle terminal 1 is displayed with a second user interface that accepts the setting for re-notifying.

Specifically, first, the notification unit 233 transmits the event information for displaying the first user interface and the re-notification candidate information for displaying the second user interface to the vehicle terminal 1 (S4).
