Description

  The present invention relates to a notification method and a notification program for causing a subject to carry a portable terminal and notifying an administrator of unscheduled trends of the subject.

  In recent years, the position of a mobile terminal can be grasped using PHS (Personal Handy-phone System) or GPS (Global Positioning System). And the service which detects and provides the present position of the user who is carrying the PHS terminal using the position information of the PHS terminal is performed (for example, refer nonpatent literature 1). As an example of using the service described in Non-Patent Document 1, it is conceivable that a parent causes a child to carry a PHS terminal. And when a child's return home is late, position information is acquired using this service. Thereby, the location of the child carrying the PHS terminal can be grasped.

However, in order to check the situation of the child using this service, it is necessary for the parent to operate the terminal and acquire information on the current location of the PHS terminal carried by the child. For this reason, even if the child has an unplanned movement, it may be delayed that the parent notices this. Therefore, it is conceivable to constantly monitor the situation of the child in order to quickly grasp the location of the child.

Such constant monitoring is inefficient because monitoring is performed even in a situation where there is no problem with the monitoring target.
An object of the present invention is to provide a notification method and a notification program capable of efficiently detecting an unscheduled trend of a target person.

According to the invention described in claim 1 or 5 , the management computer connected to the portable terminal carried by the monitoring subject, the notification terminal held by the supervisor who monitors the monitoring subject, and the passing point of the portable terminal And a schedule data storage unit for recording data relating to the position and scheduled passage time. The management computer requests the mobile terminal associated with the scheduled passage time extracted from the schedule data storage unit to transmit the current location data of the mobile terminal, and the current location data acquired from the mobile terminal and If the current location of the mobile terminal is not within the predetermined range of the passing point by comparing the position data of the passing point with the current location of the mobile terminal. Sends an alarm to the notification terminal. When a warning instruction is received from the notification terminal, the present location of the portable terminal is compared with the passing position of the schedule data storage unit, and the data related to the nearest passing position is pushed when it arrives at this passing position When the screen data including the correction button is transmitted to the mobile terminal, and the position data is obtained from the mobile terminal by obtaining the position data from the mobile terminal by pressing the correction button, the position matches. In this case, the scheduled passage time of a passage point that passes after this passage point is corrected based on the confirmation time. For this reason, the management computer can efficiently detect an unscheduled trend of the monitoring target person. Therefore, the supervisor can know the situation efficiently and quickly if the supervisor does not pass the passing point at the scheduled time without performing the process for acquiring the position information of the monitoring subject.

According to the present invention, the management computer transmits the current location data of the mobile terminal to the mobile terminal associated with the scheduled passage time extracted from the schedule data storage unit. The management computer compares the current location data acquired from the mobile terminal with the location data of the passage point, and determines whether or not the current location of the mobile terminal is within a predetermined range of the passage point. For this reason, the management computer can more reliably detect whether the portable terminal is within a predetermined range of the passing point at the scheduled passing time.

According to the invention described in claim 2 or 6, when the current location of the mobile terminal is not within the predetermined range of the passing point that passes at the scheduled time, the management computer gives an instruction to generate a warning sound from the mobile terminal. Send to mobile device. For this reason, even if it is a state in which the monitoring subject cannot ask for help, this situation can be notified to the surroundings. Therefore, the portable terminal implements a crime prevention bell function.

According to the invention described in claim 3 or 7 , the schedule data storage unit records data relating to the time required to reach the passing point as data relating to the scheduled time. When the management computer receives a monitoring start instruction from the portable terminal, the management computer calculates a scheduled time for passing through the passing point based on the required time recorded in the schedule data storage unit and records it in the schedule data storage unit. For this reason, the scheduled time is calculated based on the start instruction from the mobile terminal. Therefore, even when the time to start monitoring the monitoring target person is changed, it is possible to efficiently detect an unscheduled trend of the management target person appropriately according to the change.

According to the present invention, the schedule data storage unit records data relating to the position of the end point and data relating to the order of passing through the passing points. When the management computer determines that the current location of the mobile terminal is not within the predetermined range of the passing point at the scheduled time, and detects that the current location of the mobile terminal is within the predetermined range of the passing point, Correct the scheduled time of the passing point that passes after. For this reason, even if the monitoring target person is at a different point from the passing point at the scheduled time, if the monitoring target person returns to the passing point again, the unscheduled trend of the monitoring target person after returning can be detected. .

According to invention of Claim 4 or 8 , the management computer transmits the data regarding the map which displays the position of the present location of the said portable terminal to a notification terminal. For this reason, the supervisor can know the present location of the monitoring target person who performed an unplanned trend. Accordingly, the supervisor can take action based on the current location of the monitoring subject.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to efficiently detect an unscheduled trend of a target person.

This data is calculated and recorded when the start time data is recorded. In addition, this data is updated when the time when the check point passing before the check point is different from the recorded confirmation time.

In the passage flag data area, a flag indicating that the check point has been passed is recorded. This flag is recorded when the check point is passed.
Next, a processing procedure when using this service in the notification service system 20 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, description will be made in the order of registration processing and monitoring processing.

In order to use this service, user registration is required first. Specifically, when the user is not registered, the parent who is the user uses the notification terminal 12 to notify the data regarding the user's name, the monitoring target terminal 11 and the mail address of the notification terminal 12. 20 to send. The management computer 21 of the notification service system 20 assigns a user identifier and records the received data in the user data storage unit 22 together with the user data 220. Thereby, user registration is completed.

(registration process)
In using this service, registration processing is first performed. Here, the registration process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in the registration process, a schedule input process is performed at the notification terminal 12 (step S1-1). Specifically, the user connects the notification terminal 12 to the notification service system 20. As a result, the management computer 21 transmits registration screen data to the notification terminal 12.

  The notification terminal 12 displays registration screen data on the display 120 based on the received data. And a user inputs the data regarding the position of a schedule, the order of a check point, and required time. The data relating to the position of the schedule includes data relating to the starting position, the ending position, and the moving position. Further, the data relating to the required time includes the required time from the starting point position to the first check point, the required time from the check point to the next check point, and the required time to the end point position.

  Here, specifically, the user designates the position of the child's school as the starting position, and designates the position of his / her home as the end position. Further, a position on the route from the school to the house is designated as a check point. Here, for example, it is assumed that “A point” is set as the first check point and “B point” is set as the second check point. Further, it is assumed that the required time is set to return from school to “point A” for 4 minutes, from “point A” to “point B” for 5 minutes, and from school to home in 30 minutes at the latest.

  And the notification terminal 12 transmits schedule data (step S1-2). Specifically, the notification terminal 12 transmits schedule data regarding the position where the input is completed, the order of the check points, and the required time, together with data regarding the user identifier of the user, to the notification service system 20.

  The management computer 21 of the notification service system 20 records the received data in the schedule data 230 (step S1-3). Specifically, the management computer 21 records the received user identifier in the basic data 231. The management computer 21 records the position of “school” as the start position of the basic data 231 and the position of “home” as the end position. Further, the management computer 21 records “30 minutes” as the required time of the basic data 231. Further, the management computer 21 records the passing order as “1”, the moving position as “A point”, and the required time as “4 minutes” as one data of the check point data 232. Further, the management computer 21 records the passing order as “2”, the movement position as “B point”, and the required time as “5 minutes” as another data of the check point data 232. Thus, the schedule registration process is completed.

(Monitoring process)
Next, the monitoring process will be described with reference to FIG.
The monitoring process in the notification service system 20 is started by receiving a start instruction from the monitoring target terminal 11. Specifically, when the child leaves school, the start button on the screen displayed on the display 110 of the monitoring target terminal 11 is pressed. Thereby, the monitoring target terminal 11 transmits a monitoring start instruction to the notification service system 20 (step S2-1). At this time, the monitoring target terminal 11 transmits a monitoring target identifier.

  The management computer 21 that has received the monitoring start instruction records the time (step S2-2). Specifically, the management computer 21 specifies the user identifier from the user data 220 of the user data storage unit 22 based on the received monitoring target identifier. The management computer 21 extracts the schedule data 230 from the schedule data storage unit 23 based on the specified user identifier. Then, the schedule data storage unit 23 records the time when the monitoring start instruction is received as the start time data of the basic data 231. Furthermore, the confirmation time passing through the check point is calculated based on the start time and the required time, and these are recorded as confirmation time data of the check point data 232. Further, the end time is calculated based on the start time and the required time of the basic data 231, and this is recorded as the end time of the basic data 231.

  For example, if the time when the monitoring start instruction is received is 15:22, the management computer 21 records this time as the start time. Then, the management computer 21 records “15:26”, which is obtained by adding the required time (4 minutes) of the first passing point A to this time, as this confirmation time. Furthermore, “15:31” obtained by adding the required time (5 minutes) at point B to this time is recorded as the confirmation time. Finally, “15:52” obtained by adding the required time (30 minutes) to “house” to the start time is recorded as the end time.

  When the current time is the confirmation time and end time recorded in the schedule data 230 (in the case of “YES” in step S2-3), the management computer 21 requests the current location data from the monitoring target terminal 11. (Step S2-4).

  For example, when 15:26 recorded as the confirmation time of the check point data 232 is reached (“YES” in step S2-3), the management computer 21 requests current location data from the monitoring target terminal 11. To do.

  In response to this request, the monitoring target terminal 11 transmits the current location data (step S2-5). Specifically, the monitoring target terminal 11 transmits the GPS signal received from the GPS satellite to the base station 15 together with the monitoring target terminal identifier data. In the base station 15, the position of the monitoring target terminal 11 is calculated based on the received GPS signal. The calculated position data is transmitted to the management computer 21 of the notification service system 20 via the mobile phone network N. The base station 15 transmits the monitoring target terminal identifier data to the notification service system 20 together with the position data.

  The management computer 21 of the notification service system 20 determines whether or not the monitoring target terminal 11 is at the movement position (step S2-6). Specifically, the management computer 21 compares the received position data of the monitoring target terminal 11 with the movement position data of the check point data 232 at the confirmation time (or end time). As a result, if these positions match, the management computer 21 determines that the child carrying the monitoring target terminal 11 is at the movement position (“YES” in step S2-6). Note that, in the present embodiment, an allowable range of positions is set in advance, and when they are different within the allowable range, the management computer 21 determines that the positions of the two coincide.

  In this case, the management computer 21 records a passage flag in the check point data 232 of this check point. The management computer 21 does not perform processing until the next confirmation time or end time (until “YES” in step S2-3).

  For example, when the management computer 21 determines that there is a child at the point A at 15:26, the management computer 21 records a passage flag in the check point data 232 and the confirmation time (15 o'clock) recorded in the next check point data 232. No processing is performed until 31 minutes).

  On the other hand, as a result of comparing the position data, the management computer 21 determines that the child carrying the monitoring target terminal 11 is not in the moving position when the positions do not match (in step S2-6). "NO").

  Next, the management computer 21 determines whether or not the position of the monitoring target terminal 11, that is, the position where the child is present is the end point position (step S2-7). Specifically, the management computer 21 compares the end point position data of the basic data 231 with the received position data of the monitoring target terminal 11. As a result, if these positions match, the management computer 21 determines that the child carrying the monitoring target terminal 11 has arrived at the end point position (in this embodiment, “home”), and performs monitoring processing. ("YES" in step S2-7).

  On the other hand, if the management computer 21 determines that it is not the end point position (in the case of “NO” in step S2-7), it notifies the notification terminal 12 (step S2-8). Specifically, the management computer 21 specifies the user data 220 having the user identifier of the schedule data 230, and uses the notification terminal identifier included in the specified user data 220, and the user (parent). A notification mail is transmitted to the notification terminal 12. This notification mail includes notification screen data indicating the moving position of the point where the child should be (normal point), the confirmation time for this, and the current location of the child.

  The notification terminal 12 displays the received notification mail (step S2-9). Specifically, when receiving the notification mail, the notification terminal 12 displays a notification screen 500 shown in FIG.

  The notification screen 500 displays the moving position of the normal point and the confirmation time for this. Further, the notification screen 500 includes a map display button 510, a warning sound button 520 for generating a warning sound, and a cancel button.

  Here, when the parent selects the map display button 510, the notification terminal 12 displays the map screen 600 shown in FIG. On this map screen 600, a map of the surrounding area including the current location of the child is displayed together with the name of the location. When the button 610 included in the map screen 600 is selected, the notification terminal 12 displays the notification screen 500 on the display 120 again.

  Here, when the parent who has confirmed the current location of the child on the map screen 600 determines that the warning is unnecessary, the parent presses a cancel button on the notification screen 500. As a result, the notification terminal 12 notifies the notification service system 20 that a warning sound is unnecessary. The management computer 21 that has received this notification does not perform processing until the next confirmation time or end time (until “YES” in step S2-3).

  On the other hand, when the warning sound button 520 is selected on the notification screen 500, the notification terminal 12 issues a warning instruction to the notification service system 20 (step S2-10). Specifically, the notification terminal 12 transmits an instruction signal for generating a warning sound and notification terminal identifier data.

The management computer 21 of the notification service system 20 transfers the warning instruction (step S2-11). Specifically, the management computer 21 acquires the monitoring target terminal identifier from the user data 220 based on the notification terminal identifier data received together with the instruction signal. Then, the management computer 21 transmits the warning screen data to the monitoring target terminal 11 specified by the monitoring target terminal identifier. This warning screen data includes a normal point (A in this embodiment).
Data on the movement position of the point).

  The monitoring target terminal 11 that has received the warning screen data generates a warning sound (step S2-12). The monitoring target terminal 11 displays a sound stop screen 700 shown in FIG.

  The sound stop screen 700 includes a stop button 710 for stopping the warning sound. Therefore, the child carrying the monitoring target terminal 11 selects the stop button 710 in order to stop the warning sound. Thereby, the monitoring target terminal 11 stops the warning sound and displays the correction screen 800 shown in FIG.

  This correction screen 800 includes a correction button 810. Further, the correction screen 800 displays a normal point (point A in the present embodiment) and a notification that prompts the user to press the correction button 810 when the normal point is reached.

  Thereafter, when the child arrives at the notified location (point A in the present embodiment), the child presses the correction button 810 on the correction screen 800. As a result, the monitored terminal 11 transmits schedule correction data to the notification service system 20 (step S2-13). Specifically, the monitoring target terminal 11 transmits the GPS signal at the position where the correction button 810 is pressed and the monitoring target terminal identifier data to the notification service system 20 via the base station 15.

  The management computer 21 of the notification service system 20 corrects the schedule (step S2-14). Specifically, when the management computer 21 acquires data related to the position of the monitoring target terminal 11 from the base station 15, the management computer 21 compares the movement position data of the normal point at this time. If the positions match as a result of the comparison, the management computer 21 records the passage flag of the check point data 232 at the check point. Further, the management computer 21 records the current time as the confirmation time of the check point data 232. Then, the management computer 21 corrects the confirmation time of the check point that passes after this point.

  For example, when the correction button 810 is pressed at the point A, the management computer 21 corrects the confirmation time of the check point that passes after this point. Specifically, since the only check point that passes after point A is point B, the confirmation time of check point data 232 relating to point B is corrected. For example, when the time when the correction button 810 is pressed is 15:33, the management computer 21 calculates 15:38 by adding the required time (5 minutes) to the next check point (point B). To do. Then, the management computer 21 records the calculated 15:38 as a new confirmation time of the check point data 232 with the B point as the movement position.

  When the schedule correction (step S3-14) is completed, the management computer 21 does not perform the process until the next confirmation time or end time (until “YES” in step S2-3).

  As described above, the management computer 21 repeats the processes after step S2-3 when the confirmation time or the end time is reached. If the management computer 21 determines that the child carrying the monitoring target terminal 11 has arrived at the end point position (in the case of “YES” in step S2-7), the management computer 21 ends.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
-In this embodiment, the management computer 21 registers the schedule data regarding the position and required time transmitted from the notification terminal 12 (step S1-3). When receiving the start instruction from the monitoring target terminal 11, the management computer 21 calculates and records the confirmation time that passes through each check point (step S2-2). The management computer 21 acquires the position data of the monitoring target terminal 11 at the confirmation time. The management computer 21 determines whether or not the monitoring target terminal 11 is at the movement position based on the acquired position data and the movement position data at the confirmation time (step S2-6). If the monitoring target terminal 11 carried by the child is not in the movement position, the notification terminal 12 is notified (step S2-8). For this reason, the management computer 21 can efficiently detect an unplanned trend of the child. Therefore, even if the parent does not perform the operation of acquiring the child's position information by himself / herself, the parent can efficiently know when an unscheduled event occurs in which the child does not pass the scheduled point at the scheduled time. it can.

  In the present embodiment, the management computer 21 transmits data regarding the position of the monitoring target terminal 11 when notifying the notification terminal 12. The notification terminal 12 displays the position of the child carrying the monitoring target terminal 11 on the map screen 600 shown in FIG. For this reason, the parent having the notification terminal 12 can know the current location of the child who has not passed the movement position at the registered time. Therefore, the parent can take action according to the current location of the child.

  In this embodiment, the management computer 21 that has received the warning instruction from the notification terminal 12 transmits the warning instruction to the monitoring target terminal 11 (step S2-11), and generates a warning sound from the monitoring target terminal 11 ( Step S2-12). That is, a warning sound that becomes a crime prevention bell can be generated from the monitored terminal 11. For this reason, even if it is a state where a child cannot ask for help, this situation can be informed to the surroundings. As a result, the surrounding people can be aware of the child's incident.

  In the present embodiment, the management computer 21 causes the monitoring target terminal 11 to generate a warning sound (Step S2-12) and displays the sound stop screen 700 of FIG. By selecting a stop button 710 included in the sound stop screen 700, the warning sound can be stopped. Therefore, the warning sound can be easily stopped when there is no abnormal situation such as a child who has left the school route is simply taking a detour.

  In the present embodiment, when the stop button 710 is selected after the warning sound is generated at the notification terminal 12, the management computer 21 displays the correction screen 800 of FIG. ) That you should return to When the child arriving at the designated check point selects the correction button 810 on the correction screen 800, the notification terminal 12 transmits the correction data (step S2-13). When the management computer 21 confirms that there is a child at the check point based on the correction data, the management computer 21 corrects the check point data 232 of the check point that passes after this check point. Thereby, even when the child temporarily goes to an unscheduled point, if the child returns to the check point of the school route again, the trend of the child after the check point can be monitored.

  In the present embodiment, when receiving the start instruction from the monitoring target terminal 11, the management computer 21 calculates and records the confirmation time and end time of each check point data 232 (step S2-2). For this reason, even if it is a case where the time which leaves the school which is the starting point becomes late, the unplanned movement of the child can be more reliably monitored.

  In the present embodiment, the management computer 21 repeats the processing from step S2-3 onward until it reaches the end point position (in the case of “YES” in step S2-7). For this reason, monitoring can be performed more reliably until the child arrives at the end point position (house) safely.

Moreover, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 calculates and records the end time and the confirmation time when receiving the start instruction from the monitoring target terminal 11 (step S2-2). Instead, the management computer 21 may record the start time, end time, and confirmation time in the schedule data 230 at the stage of schedule registration. Thereby, the required time data in the schedule data 230 can be omitted. In this case, when the management computer 21 detects the start time, the management computer 21 automatically starts the monitoring process. At this time, when the child carrying the monitoring target terminal 11 at the check point is outside the check point, for example, when the child is still at the start point, the management computer 21 generates a warning sound and the departure is delayed. I can let you know.

  In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 specifies the user identifier based on the monitoring target terminal identifier received from the monitoring target terminal 11 together with the start instruction, and specifies the schedule data 230 therefrom. At this time, when there are a plurality of schedule data 230 associated with the user, a time zone for accepting the start instruction may be determined in advance to distinguish them. Further, the schedule data 230 to be monitored may be distinguished by assigning numbers to be executed in chronological order.

  In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 notifies the notification terminal 12 when it is not at the movement position or the end position when the confirmation time or notification time is reached. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when it is not at the movement position or the end point position, it may be determined whether or not it is at the position of another check point. Specifically, when the user is not at the movement position (in the case of “NO” in step S2-6), the management computer 21 acquires the movement position data of other check points, and uses this data and the current location data. Compare. When the current location data matches the movement position data of another check point, the confirmation time of the movement position is updated and a passage flag is recorded. Then, another confirmation time is updated based on the updated confirmation time and the required time of the moving position of the check point that passes after the check point. As a result, even when the child passes the check point, but the passage time does not coincide with the confirmation time, it is possible to quickly detect an unplanned trend of the child.

  In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 notifies the notification terminal 12 when it is not at the movement position or the end position when the confirmation time or notification time is reached. Instead of this, the management computer 21 may notify the notification terminal 12 where the target person is at a predetermined time. Specifically, the notification terminal 12 registers only time without registering a place as schedule data. At the registered time, the management computer 21 acquires data related to the current location of the monitoring target terminal 11 carried by the target person, and transmits data related to the current location to the notification terminal 12.

  In the above embodiment, when the management computer 21 receives an instruction to stop the warning sound at the monitoring target terminal 11, the management computer 21 displays the normal point as the correction screen 800. Instead of this, the management computer 21 may display the movement position that is closest to the current location of the monitoring target terminal 11 and is scheduled to pass. Specifically, the management computer 21 compares the current location data of the monitoring target terminal 11 with the movement position data of the schedule data 230. As a result of the comparison, the management computer 21 may transmit data regarding the closest movement position to the monitoring target terminal 11.

In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 presets an allowable range for determining that the current location of the child matches the movement position or the end position. Instead of this, the allowable range may be changed by the user in, for example, schedule registration. Thereby, when the child is close to the parent, the allowable range can be increased, and when the child is far away, the allowable range can be decreased, and monitoring can be performed more appropriately according to the situation.

  In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 displays the notification screen 500 including the warning sound button 520 for generating a warning sound on the display 120 of the notification terminal 12. Alternatively, the notification screen 500 may include a selection button for selecting the type of warning sound to be generated. Thereby, the parent who received the notification of the child via the notification terminal 12 can generate a warning sound according to the situation based on the current location of the child.

  In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 generates a warning sound for the monitoring target terminal 11 after receiving a warning instruction from the notification terminal 12. Instead, the management computer 21 may notify the notification terminal 12 (step S2-8) and may instruct the monitoring target terminal 11 to generate a warning sound. As a result, a warning sound is immediately generated from the monitoring target terminal 11 when it is out of the moving position. Accordingly, the monitoring target terminal 11 can function as a crime prevention bell at an early point.

  In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 displays the correction screen 800 on the display 110 when the stop button 710 of the sound stop screen 700 is selected in the monitoring target terminal 11. At this time, when the stop button 710 is selected, the monitoring target terminal 11 may notify the notification service system 20. Thereby, the management computer 21 can notify the notification terminal 12 as a situation that the stop button 710 has been selected. When the management computer 21 does not receive the correction data even after a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) has passed since the stop button 710 was pressed, the management computer 21 notifies the notification terminal 12 again and also monitors the monitoring target terminal. 11 may generate a warning sound. As a result, the management computer 21 can monitor from when the stop button 710 is pressed until it arrives at the check point.

  In the above embodiment, the check point data 232 of the schedule data 230 is provided with a data area for recording a notification flag indicating that notification has been made. Instead of this notification flag, a data area for recording the passage time when actually passing through the movement position may be provided. Then, the management computer 21 may transmit a passage time history to the notification terminal 12 in response to the request. Thereby, the administrator (parent) who has the notification terminal 12 can confirm later when the monitoring subject (child) passed.

  In the above embodiment, the notification terminal 12 performs schedule input processing. Not limited to this, the schedule input process may be performed from another terminal or from the monitoring target terminal 11. In addition, the notification terminal 12 and the terminal that performs the schedule input process may not be portable as long as the terminal can notify the user.

  In the above embodiment, a mobile phone terminal is used as the monitoring target terminal 11. Instead of this, other mobile terminals or terminals that generate alarm sound and position data may be used. Also, a PHS location information providing service may be used by using a PHS terminal as the monitoring target terminal 11.

  In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 has received the current location data from the monitoring target terminal 11 that has requested the location data transmission. Instead, when the monitoring target terminal 11 is a PHS terminal, there is no monitoring target terminal 11 that transmits a signal from a base station that searches for a PHS terminal at a moving point corresponding to the confirmation time and responds to the signal. Accordingly, the management computer 21 may specify that the child carrying the monitoring target terminal 11 is not in the movement position (“NO” in step S2-6).

  In the above embodiment, the case of monitoring the time of leaving school where the starting point is school and the end point is home has been described. Alternatively, it may be used when monitoring other routes. For example, it may be used when a student can attend a lesson.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the child was made into the monitoring subject and the notification terminal 12 was carried by the parent of the monitoring person. Not limited to this, the management computer 21 may carry the monitoring target terminal to another monitoring target person and carry the notification terminal of the manager who monitors it. For example, it may be used for a business visitor or an infant.
