Further, in the sixth aspect of the present invention, the receiving means receives the transmission of a new payment amount from each user who has transmitted the moving demand, and the determining means receives the new payment amount transmitted from each user. When the amount of income, which is the total amount of the above, has reached the operation cost, the operation schedule is determined.

Further, in the seventh aspect of the present invention, the receiving means receives a request to stop the use from one user who is using the transportation system in the operation timetable, and the notifying means pays for the one user. If the income amount excluding the amount does not reach the operating cost corresponding to the number of new users excluding the one user, the payment amount is paid to each of the other users using the transportation system in the operation timetable. Notify that there is a shortage.

Further, in the eighth aspect of the present invention, the receiving means receives the transmission of a new payment amount from each of the other users, and the determining means receives the new payment amount transmitted from each of the other users. When the amount of income, which is the total amount of income, has reached the operating cost corresponding to the new number of users, it is decided to continue the operation of the transportation system.

Further, in the ninth aspect of the present invention, the determination means changes the boarding / alighting place or the operation date and time included in the operation timetable according to the suspension of use by the one user.

Further, the information processing device according to the tenth aspect of the present invention is an information processing device for determining an operation schedule of transportation in a predetermined area, and is at least a desired boarding / alighting place, a date and time of use, and a payment amount from a plurality of users.

As shown in FIG. 3, the server device 10 includes a storage unit 50, a reception unit 52, a determination unit 54, a determination unit 56, and a notification unit 58 as functional configurations.

The storage means 50 is a functional means for storing user information 50A, operation timetable information 50B, and the like.

The user information 50A includes each user's login ID, password, user name, date of birth, gender, age, home address, contact information, travel demand, etc. in association with the identification information (user ID) of each user. .. Examples of the contact information include a telephone number, an e-mail address, a user ID of a message application, and the like. Travel demand includes at least the desired boarding / alighting location, date and time of use, and payment amount. This mobile demand is information received by the receiving means 52 from the terminal device 12 of each user. The desired boarding / alighting place includes the departure place and the arrival place desired by the user. This starting point is, for example, the point facing the road closest to the user's home. This destination is, for example, the destination of the user (eg, hospital, school, supermarket, etc.). The usage date and time is the date and time when the user uses the transportation system, and includes the usage date, the arrival time on the outbound route, and the departure time on the return route. For example, the date and time of use includes the day of the week that is the date of use, the arrival time from the home that is the departure point to the hospital A that is the arrival point, and the departure time from the hospital A that is the arrival point to the home that is the departure point. .. The arrival time and departure time are set, for example, in a time zone of 15 minutes. The payment amount is an amount that the user can (or may pay) to pay by using transportation, for example, a usage amount (monthly charge) for one month.

The operation timetable information 50B associates with the identification information (operation timetable ID) of each operation timetable, and sets the area, user, income amount, boarding / alighting place, operation date and time, operation vehicle, operation cost, decision flag, etc. of each operation timetable. include. The area includes information (for example, a town name or a village name) that identifies an area for which the operation schedule has been determined or an undetermined area. The user uses the identification information of each user who uses or wishes to use the operation schedule. The income amount is the sum of the payment amounts included in the mobile demand of each user. This income amount changes as the number of users increases or decreases and the payment amount increases or decreases. The boarding / alighting place includes the name and location information (for example, latitude and longitude, address) of the stop in the operation schedule. The operation date and time includes the operation date and the operation time in the operation schedule. This operation date and time may be stored as a timetable of each stop. The operating vehicle includes vehicle price, vehicle fuel consumption, passenger capacity, required license, etc. in association with the identification information (vehicle ID) of one or more vehicles used in the operation schedule. The boarding capacity is determined according to the maximum number of passengers. The operating cost is the cost of operating in a predetermined period (for example, one month). This cost depends on the determination means 54, such as the number of users, the distance traveled, the vehicle price, the vehicle fuel consumption, the vehicle maintenance cost (for example, parking lot cost, tax, maintenance cost, insurance premium), labor cost (for example, driver's salary), etc. It is calculated based on. The determination flag is a flag indicating whether or not the operation schedule has been determined. The decision flag includes either "decided" or "undecided", and the initial value is "undecided".

The receiving means 52 is a functional means for receiving various information from the user's terminal device 12. In the present embodiment, the receiving means 52 receives from a plurality of users the transmission of the moving demand including at least the desired boarding / alighting place, the date and time of use, and the payment amount.

In addition, the receiving means 52 accepts the transmission of a new payment amount from each user who has transmitted the mobile demand. For example, the receiving means 52 accepts the transmission of a new payment amount increased from the previous payment amount from each user notified by the notification means 58 that the payment amount is insufficient.

Further, the reception means 52 receives a request to stop the use from one user who is using the transportation system in the operation schedule determined by the determination means 54. In addition, the reception means 52 accepts transmission of a new payment amount from each of the other users using the transportation system other than the one user. For example, the receiving means 52 accepts the transmission of a new payment amount increased from the previous payment amount from the other user who has been notified by the notification means 58 that the payment amount is insufficient.

The determination means 54 is a functional means for determining a (regular) operation schedule of transportation in a predetermined area. Examples of this predetermined area include towns, villages, and villages in depopulated areas. In the present embodiment, the determination means 54 determines the operation schedule according to the desired boarding / alighting place, the date and time of use, and the payment amount included in the movement demand of each user received by the reception means 52. This operation schedule includes, for example, the user, the amount of income, the boarding / alighting place, the operation date and time, the operation vehicle, the operation cost, and the like. Then, the determination means 54 stores the determined operation schedule in the operation schedule information 50B. Further, the determination means 54 updates the determination flag of the operation schedule information 50B to "determine" in response to the determination of the operation schedule.

For example, the determination means 54 divides a point facing one or a plurality of roads in a predetermined area into 500 m squares, and two or more desired boarding / alighting places included in the movement demand of each user are one section. If it is included in, the operation schedule is determined by setting the point facing the road as the point where the distance from each desired boarding / alighting place is the shortest as the boarding / alighting place (stop). Further, for example, the determining means 54 determines the operation schedule with priority given to the desired boarding / alighting place included in the moving demand as the payment amount included in the moving demand received by the receiving means 52 increases. Specifically, the determination means 54 calculates the average value of the payment amounts of each user who has set (desired) the desired boarding / alighting place in the same section. Subsequently, when the payment amount of a certain user exceeds the average value by the first predetermined amount (for example, 2500 yen), the determination means 54 first determines the desired boarding / alighting place included in the movement demand of the certain user. Determine the boarding / alighting place within the range (for example, within 200 m). Further, when the payment amount included in the mobile demand of a certain user exceeds the average value by a second predetermined amount (for example, 5000 yen), the determination means 54 is a desired boarding / alighting place included in the mobile demand of the certain user. The boarding / alighting place is determined within the second predetermined range (for example, within 150 m).

For example, the determination means 54 determines the date and time of use when the same desired boarding / alighting place is included in each of the travel demands and the date and time of use included in each of the travel demands is within a predetermined time (1 hour). The operation schedule is determined using the average value as the operation date and time. Specifically, the determination means 54 is a case where the same desired drop-off place (for example, hospital A) is included in each of the two or more mobile demands, and the usage date included in each of the mobile demands is the same day. When the arrival time on the outbound route is between 9:00 and 10:00, the operation schedule is determined by using the average value of the arrival times as the operation date and time (arrival time). Further, for example, the determination means 54 determines the operation schedule by giving priority to the usage date and time included in the movement demand as the payment amount included in the movement demand increases. Specifically, the determination means 54 is a case where the same desired drop-off place (for example, hospital A) is included in each of the moving demands, and the usage date included in each of the moving demands is the same day (same day of the week). When the arrival time is between 9:00 and 10:00, the average value of the payment amount of each user who set the arrival time is calculated. Subsequently, the determining means 54 determines the arrival time included in the moving demand of the certain user when the payment amount included in the moving demand of the certain user exceeds the average value by the first predetermined amount (for example, 2500 yen). The operation date and time (arrival time at hospital A) is determined within the first predetermined time (for example, within 30 minutes). Further, when the payment amount included in the moving demand of a certain user exceeds the average value by a second predetermined amount (for example, 5000 yen), the determining means 54 determines the arrival time included in the moving demand of the certain user. The operation date and time (arrival date and time at hospital A) is determined within the second predetermined time (for example, within 15 minutes).

Further, when the determination means 54 determines by the determination means 56 that the income amount, which is the total of the payment amounts included in each of the mobile demands, has reached the operating cost corresponding to the number of users who have transmitted the mobile demands. Determine the operation schedule. On the other hand, when the determination means 54 determines by the determination means 56 that the income amount, which is the total of the payment amounts included in each of the mobile demands, does not reach the operating cost corresponding to the number of users who have transmitted the mobile demands. Do not decide the operation schedule.

Further, the determination means 54 determines the operation schedule when the determination means 56 determines that the income amount, which is the total of the new payment amounts transmitted from each user, has reached the operation cost. On the other hand, the determination means 54 does not determine the operation schedule when the determination means 56 determines that the income amount has not reached the operation cost.

In addition, the determination means 54 uses the determination means 56 to determine another user who is using the transportation means after a request from one user who is using the transportation means in the determined operation timetable to stop the use. If it is determined that the income amount, which is the total of the new payment amounts sent from each, has reached the operating cost corresponding to the new number of users (number of other users), the operation schedule (operation) is continued. Decide that. On the other hand, when the determination means 54 determines that the income amount has not reached the operating cost corresponding to the new number of users after the request from the one user to stop the use is made by the determination means 56. , Decide not to continue the operation schedule (operation).

Further, the determination means 54 changes the boarding / alighting place or the operation date and time included in the operation schedule according to the suspension of use by one user who is using the transportation system in the determined operation schedule. For example, the determination means 54 excludes the movement demand by the one user, and determines the boarding / alighting place and the operation date and time again based on the movement demand by the other user.

The determination means 56 is a functional means for performing various determinations. In the present embodiment, the determination means 56 determines whether or not the income amount, which is the total of the payment amounts included in each of the mobile demands, reaches the operating cost corresponding to the number of users who have transmitted the mobile demands. Further, the determination means 56 determines whether or not the income amount, which is the total of the new payment amounts transmitted from each user, has reached the operating cost. Further, in the determination means 56, the number of new users (other users) is the total amount of new payments sent from each of the other users except the one user who requested to stop using the transportation system. Whether or not the operating cost corresponding to (number of) has been reached is determined.

The notification means 58 is a functional means for notifying the terminal device 12 of each user. In the present embodiment, the notification means 58 notifies the terminal device 12 of each user who has transmitted the movement demand of the operation timetable determined by the determination means 54. Further, in the notification means 58, when the income amount, which is the total of the payment amounts included in each of the mobile demands, does not reach the operating cost, the payment amount is insufficient for the terminal device 12 of each user who transmitted the mobile demand. Notify that.

Further, in the notification means 58, the amount of income excluding the payment amount of one user who requested to stop using the transportation has reached the operating cost corresponding to the number of new users excluding the one user. If not, notify each other user who is using the transportation system on the operation schedule that the payment amount is insufficient.

It is possible to determine the operation timetable and to make it easier to determine the operation timetable.

Further, in the present embodiment, the reception means 52 receives a request to stop the use from one user who is using the transportation system in the operation schedule, and the notification means 58 is the income excluding the payment amount of the one user. If the amount does not reach the operating cost corresponding to the number of new users excluding one user, notify each of the other users using transportation on the operation schedule that the payment amount is insufficient. do.

According to this configuration, when there is one user who discontinues the use, the other users are notified that the payment amount is insufficient, so that the user who is using the user feels convinced. Can be done.

Further, in the present embodiment, the receiving means 52 accepts the transmission of a new payment amount from each of the other users, and the determining means 54 is the income amount which is the total of the new payment amounts transmitted from each of the other users. If the operating cost has reached the new number of users, it is decided to continue the operation of the transportation system.

According to this configuration, if the amount of income does not reach the operating cost, a new payment amount is accepted, and when the new amount of income reaches the operating cost, the operation of the transportation system is continued, so that it is profitable. It is possible to determine a certain operation schedule and to make it easier to continue the operation of transportation.

Further, in the present embodiment, the determination means 54 changes the boarding / alighting place or the operation date and time included in the operation schedule according to the suspension of use by one user.

According to this configuration, when one user stops using the transportation system, the boarding / alighting place or the operation date and time is changed, so that the convenience of another user who continuously uses the transportation system can be improved.

<Modification example>
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
