  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, navigation devices and navigation systems that guide a user by searching for a route from a desired departure point to a destination using map data and road data are known. Such navigation devices and navigation systems are known. As a car navigation device that is installed in a car and guides the route to the driver, a mobile phone is used as a navigation terminal to send a route search request to the route search server, receive the result, and receive route guidance Navigation systems have been put into practical use.

  In particular, the communication-type navigation system is a system that uses a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone as a navigation terminal, and is also used as a navigation system for pedestrians. As a navigation system for pedestrians, it is preferable to add a route guidance function including transportation, and in addition to searching and guidance for walking routes, the route search server accumulates routes and operation time data of transportation, There is also a navigation system having a function of guiding a route from a desired departure station to a desired destination station (boarding candidate train) in addition to searching for a walking route and guidance. There is also a traffic guidance system that receives and displays information such as routes, timetables of transportation facilities, and trains that can be boarded from an information distribution server without searching for walking routes.

  There is also known a route search system that searches and guides a route from a departure place to a destination using transportation means such as an airplane, a train, a train, and a bus. Such a route search system is generally an operation time database in which operation time data of each transportation facility is made into a database based on route search conditions such as departure date and time, departure place, destination and arrival time specified by the user. Referring to the above, each available transportation means that connects the departure point and destination, including connections, is sequentially followed as a route, and one candidate guide route (transportation means such as a train) that matches the route search condition is selected. It is configured to present multiple items. As route search conditions, it is generally possible to specify conditions such as required time, number of transfers, and fares.

  In addition, as a system for conducting searches and guidance related to transportation facilities, a terminal device such as a mobile phone is connected to an information distribution server for guiding route information and timetable information of transportation facilities, and a desired departure station, departure time, destination station, etc. There is also provided a guidance system that can receive information on transportation means such as routes, trains, and trains that can be specified and can be displayed on a terminal device. In general, when such use is performed from a terminal device, address information such as a URL (Universal Resource Identifier) or domain name for specifying the location where the information to be downloaded exists is input to the terminal device and specified by the address. The information distribution server (information site) is accessed to download desired information.

  For example, the following Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-57161) discloses a timetable information providing system. The timetable information providing system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a system that provides timetable information to a user terminal through a network, receives a timetable database and route information designated by the user, and corresponds to the route. Acquisition means for acquiring timetable data from the timetable database and temporarily storing it in the storage means; acquiring the current time; and based on the timetable data stored in the storage means, from the current time to a predetermined time later A timetable data specifying means for specifying timetable data and a display means for displaying the specified timetable data on a user terminal are provided.

  Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-56498) below discloses a bus boarding method and system. In the bus boarding method and system disclosed in Patent Document 2, the server receives location information that the user desires to board the bus from the user terminal, and the current running position information of the bus that the user desires to board is used as the bus. Based on at least the location information and the current travel position information received from the bus installation terminal installed in advance, the server calculates the prediction of the required time to the bus stop specified by the user, and the server calculates the prediction result of the required time and The bus boarding situation desired by the user is transmitted to the user terminal and displayed.

  On the other hand, for a user who gets on a transportation means such as a bus or train, while displaying the route route being boarded on the mobile terminal device used by the user, the current position of the bus vehicle or train being boarded is displayed, There is also known a guidance system that can guide getting off by a method such as display, sound, light, vibration, etc. when a user approaches a getting-off stop scheduled for getting over. As one of such guidance systems, for example, there is an exit station guidance system disclosed in the following Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-179542).

  In the disembarkation station guidance system disclosed in Patent Document 3, the mobile terminal sets a disembarkation station, a narrow-area wireless communication means, and a notification means for notifying that the disengagement station has been set by the transport means The transportation means includes positioning means for acquiring current position information and narrow area wireless communication means capable of communicating with the narrow area wireless communication means of the portable terminal. And the positioning means of the transportation means may acquire the current position information of the transportation means by receiving the position information radio wave from the GPS satellite, and is a means having a position information transmission function arranged near the operation route of the transportation means. The current position information may be acquired by receiving a signal from.

  That is, in this getting-off station guidance system, the terminal device carried by the user can download the operation information of the transportation means from the server via a network such as the Internet, and the current position measured by the positioning means provided in the transportation means such as a train A terminal device carried by the user acquires information by wireless communication, detects approach to the set-off station, and guides the user to get off by a method such as sound, light, vibration.

  On the other hand, a technique using a two-dimensional code is known as a technique for facilitating access from a terminal device to an information distribution server. For example, a two-dimensional code is printed on a magazine, a newspaper, an insertion advertisement, a posting advertisement, etc., and advertiser information such as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a homepage established by the advertiser, In addition to information such as 2D code acquisition location, destination location, map and URL of the navigation server, various information such as store name, store profile, phone number, location, business hours, holidays, etc. are recorded and carried. By reading the two-dimensional code with a camera built in the terminal and accessing the homepage using the read information, it is possible to obtain a map of the advertiser's store and to receive navigation.

  Such a system is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-48586). That is, the navigation method disclosed in Patent Document 4 provides navigation information to a destination without inputting the current location based on optical data read instantaneously with one touch. This method includes a first stage in which a service user reads optical data (two-dimensional code) displayed on an advertising medium using a reader mounted on a portable information device, and optical data using the portable information device. And a second step of converting the character data into character data including at least information on the code acquisition position and the destination position, and a third step of transferring the character data to the navigation server using the portable information device via the communication network. And a fourth stage in which the navigation server transmits the guidance route from the code acquisition position to the destination position to the portable information device via the communication network.

  Further, a symbol pattern (two-dimensional code) is set (by a method such as pasting) on a bulletin board or telephone pole installed at a specific place, and this is read by a reading means such as a camera mounted on a portable terminal. A system for acquiring map information based on information recorded in a dimension code has also been proposed. For example, a system disclosed in the following Patent Document 5 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-319033) photographs a symbol pattern displayed on a bulletin board by a digital camera provided in a mobile phone. The captured still image is transmitted to the video processing server, the symbol pattern is recognized from the still image, and converted into corresponding data. Further, based on the converted data, the video processing server transfers information held in the information server to the mobile phone. Thereby, in the mobile phone, the symbol pattern of the bulletin board is displayed on the screen, and by clicking on it, it is possible to link to more detailed information of the information displayed on the bulletin board.

  That is, the system disclosed in Patent Document 5 simply provides a map by recording a URL of a server that provides map information in a symbol pattern, reading it with a mobile phone camera, and linking to the URL. Information can be downloaded from the server. By assigning position information to each bulletin board or telephone pole where the symbol pattern is installed, the map information distribution server can know the position where the mobile phone read the symbol pattern, and the position where the mobile phone read the symbol pattern ( Map information including location) can be distributed to mobile phones.

  There are various types of two-dimensional codes, and these are described in Patent Document 6 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-222517), Patent Document 7 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-337853), and Patent Document 8 (Special Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-337853).

As the two-dimensional code QR shown in FIG. 2, the QR code disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 7 can be used. This QR code is created by encoding and recording information to be recorded as a character string. This QR code can be printed or pasted at an arbitrary place, and installed as will be described later by a method such as printing or pasting on a route map posted at the stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the route map posted at the bus stop is posted for each stop where the route map is posted, and the route name (service system) 301 and each stop name 302 on the route are listed. A two-dimensional code QR is provided adjacent to each stop name. Conventionally, in the route map posted at the stop, as shown in FIG. 13, the station names on the corresponding route are simply written in order, the stop where the route map is posted is a boarding stop (focused stop), and the name of the stop It is only created so that it can be identified with a different notation from the stop. The direction of operation of the bus vehicle to be operated is indicated by an arrow A in the figure.

  In the route map shown in FIG. 13, Kanda station square B with a stop name 302 is a boarding stop (a stop where this route map is posted) and is marked with a black circle so that it can be distinguished from other stops. Therefore, the route map has different notation content for each posted stop. Depending on the route map, the estimated required time and fare from the bus stop to each stop may be indicated.

  In addition, in the conventional route map as shown in FIG. 13, there is an example in which the URL of the link destination is partially displayed or a two-dimensional code (QR code or the like) linked to the bus company site is displayed. This is a fixed link, just a link to the portal site of the bus company or the local transportation agency. From that page, the procedure of selecting a route and a bus stop was used to access the timetable and operation status of the bus operating the route.

  The route map of FIG. 3 is a route map according to the present invention, and shows a route map posted at the Kanda station stop. In this route map, the bus stop 302 is indicated by enclosing the stop name with a square. The route system 301 is described as “autumn 26”, and a two-dimensional code QR in which the route code is recorded adjacently is described. In addition, a list of each stop from the front of Kanda Station is listed, and a two-dimensional code QR that records data on each stop is provided adjacent to each stop 302.

  The two-dimensional code QR provided adjacent to each stop includes at least a domain name (UPL) of the information distribution server 30 for receiving information distribution, a route code, and a stop code (stop where a route map is posted), Link information composed of the getting-off stop code (each code of each stop after the getting-off stop) is recorded. Therefore, the link information of the two-dimensional code QR provided corresponding to each stop other than the boarding station posted on the route map is configured to include different getting-off station codes, and other records in the link information The contents are the same.

  The user who gets on the bus from the stop at Kanda Ekimae B selects the destination (getting off stop) from the route map posted at the Kanda Ekimae stop, which is the boarding stop, and is a two-dimensional code QR that is provided adjacent to the stop name. Read link information from. The link information recorded in the two-dimensional code QR is read, for example, when a mobile phone is used as the guide terminal device 20, the two-dimensional code QR is photographed by the two-dimensional code reading means 218 comprising a digital camera provided in the mobile phone. The recorded information can be read by processing this image. For example, in FIG. 3, when it is desired to go to Kasai station square N at the end of the route, the two-dimensional code QR provided adjacent to the stop name of Kasai station square N is read. The link information obtained from this two-dimensional code QR includes the domain name (UPL) of the linked information distribution server, the boarding stop code (code of Kanda station stop B stop), and the stop station code (code of N stop in front of Kasai station) It is composed of. When providing the two-dimensional code QR, it is advisable to consider, for example, a staggered arrangement or the like between the two-dimensional codes QR so that the adjacent two-dimensional code is not mistakenly sampled. .

  The link information recorded in the two-dimensional code QR provided at the stop in front of Kasai Station N on the route map is, for example, “http://bus.go.jp/aki26-03-37”. “Http://bus.go.jp/” is the domain name (URL) of the link destination information distribution server, “aki26” is the route code, and “03” followed by a hyphen after the route code is the stop code (03) for the autumn 26 route In this example, this two-dimensional code QR is a Kanda station square B code), and “37” followed by a hyphen is an alighting stop code (a destination Kasai station N code).

  When the guide terminal device 20 that has read the link information from the two-dimensional code QR is linked to the corresponding information distribution server 30 via the data requesting means 219 using the link information, the “http: // bus” of the page information database 314 is displayed. .Go.jp / aki26-03-37 "and the page information is downloaded. The guide terminal device 20 temporarily stores the downloaded page information in the data storage unit 213 and displays it on the display unit 215.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the display screen displayed on the guidance terminal device 20 in this way. Since the information distribution server 30 separately obtains operation information from the bus location system operation management server 40 such as an estimated waiting time of 3 minutes and an estimated required time to stop at Kasai Station N of 54 minutes. When the page information is downloaded (distributed), the information distribution server 30 embeds the data in the page information and causes the guide terminal device 20 to download it. The guide terminal device 20 displays the downloaded page information on the display means 215. Thus, the user can display the operation status such as the waiting time and required time of the bus from Kanda Station B on the route “Aki 26” to Kasai Station N.

  In FIG. 3, it is important that the getting-off stop is recorded at the same time in the link information recorded in one two-dimensional code QR. Since the stop is known by reading this two-dimensional code QR, there is a bus vehicle that operates to a stop on the way before the bus vehicle that is downloaded and guided to the guidance terminal device 20 by this link information However, the bus is not displayed. Because there is a discount system in part as a characteristic of route buses, but in general, the fare is settled each time you get on a bus vehicle. This is because it is not preferable in some cases.

  In the guidance terminal device 20, it is possible to shift to various operation modes described later by clicking the update button 401, the boarding button 402, and the menu button 403 on the display screen shown in FIG. 4 displayed on the display unit 215. it can. When the update button 401 is operated, the latest information can be accessed and downloaded, and when the boarding button 402 is operated, it is possible to shift to a function such as getting-off guidance described later, and when the menu button 403 is operated, the guidance terminal device There are 20 basic menu screens (the basic menu screen is not shown).

  In FIG. 3, the two-dimensional code QR installed next to the stop name at Kanda Station B, which is the boarding stop, has link information having a different meaning from the two-dimensional code QR installed next to the other stop names. It is recorded. That is, “http://bus.go.jp/aki26-03-03-37” is recorded as link information in this two-dimensional code.

  As described above, when the same stop code “03” is recorded twice in succession, it is understood from the information read from the two-dimensional code that the two-dimensional code QR is installed in association with the boarding stop. . When the guide terminal device 20 links to the URL recorded in the two-dimensional code QR and requests a distribution request from the information distribution server 30, information related to the vicinity of the stop is displayed. In addition, since the same stop code may be used at the stop in the opposite direction (upward vs. down), add the stop code of Kasai station square N (37: bound for Kasai station) after the boarding stop code. It is distinguished by adding that it is the traveling direction of the arrow A.

  When this two-dimensional code QR is read by the mobile phone which is the guide terminal device 20 and linked to the information distribution server 30 based on the link information recorded in the two-dimensional code QR, the link to the page of the information distribution server 30 shown in FIG. To do. This page is a menu page for information about this stop, such as “Timetable”, “Near Train Station”, “Taxi”, “Convenience Store”, “Other Spots”, etc. of other transportations located near the stop It is a menu screen, and when a desired item is clicked, a transition is made to the page for that item.

  For example, when “timetable” is selected, as shown in FIG. 6, the page of the timetable 601 (station timetable) for the route “Aki 26” of the stop at Kanda station square B, which is the boarding stop, is downloaded and displayed. Is displayed. When downloading (distributing) the page information, the information distribution server 30 knows the direction (up and down) and the route code from the boarding stop code and the getting-off stop code, and knows the route code. Therefore, the database storing the route / operation time data 316 The data of the corresponding timetable is acquired from and embedded in the page information and downloaded. That is, in the example of the above two-dimensional code QR, it is possible to display information on the bus time from Kanda Station B on the route “Aki 26” to Kasai Station N.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, in conjunction with the current time, for example, if the current time is in the 15 o'clock range, a time table 701 that is automatically scrolled to the 15 o'clock range may be displayed. In addition, since the information distribution server has received the operation information from the operation management server of the bus location system, it is not displayed for the time 702 of the bus that has already departed, or a display that is grayed out like a number It may be.

  When the guidance terminal device 20 is a mobile phone, options such as “Register to Favorites”, “Save to Data Folder”, and “Save to Screen Memo” are included in the basic menu not shown in FIG. Therefore, it is convenient to save the timetable 601 and the timetable 701 in FIGS. 6 and 7 so that they can be read again. In particular, it is convenient to store information obtained by linking from a two-dimensional code QR installed at a stop of a frequently used stop.

  Even when waiting for a bus at the bus stop, it is often experienced that the bus does not arrive as scheduled due to traffic congestion. In such a case, there is no choice but to move to the nearest alternative transportation station. When “Nearby Station” is selected on the menu screen shown in FIG. 5, a list of transportation stations located near the boarding stop is downloaded from the information distribution server 30 to the guidance terminal device 20 and displayed on the display means 215 in FIG. A screen of a station list 801 as shown in FIG. Since the information distribution server 30 holds the position information of each stop, it is possible to display a list of a plurality of transportation stations that are located in the order of a straight line distance from the boarding stop. If the guide terminal device 20 has a navigation function, a desired station is selected from the displayed list of nearby stations, and a route search from the stop to the station is requested to the route search server to receive the navigation. You can also.

  If the bus does not arrive easily while waiting for the bus at the bus stop as described above, a taxi may be used if there is no suitable alternative transportation station nearby. When “Taxi” is selected on the menu screen of FIG. 5, a list of telephone numbers of taxi companies and dispatch centers that are easy to use at the bus stop is downloaded from the information distribution server 30 to the guide terminal device 20 and displayed on the display means 215. A list screen of a taxi company list 901 as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed. When the guide terminal device 20 is a mobile phone, a pointer is placed on the telephone number of a desired taxi company's dispatch center from the list displayed on the display means 215, and when the call button 902 displayed on this screen is operated, the taxi company The call dispatch reception phone is connected. It should be noted that the posting of the taxi company telephone number link on this page is a kind of advertisement, so the taxi company may operate the bus company that posted the two-dimensional code QR so that the advertising fee is charged.

  Related information around the bus stop, such as the above-mentioned station data and taxi company data, is collected for each bus stop and stored in the related information database 317 of the information distribution server 30.

  In the boarding guidance system according to this embodiment, the guidance terminal device 20 includes switching means for setting the guidance terminal device 20 to the boarding mode. When the guidance terminal device 20 is set to the boarding mode, in the present invention, getting-off guidance is performed as follows.

  That is, when the bus that has been waiting at the boarding stop arrives and the user gets on the bus, the guidance terminal device 20 enters the “ride mode” when the boarding button 402 on the menu screen of FIG. 4 is operated. It is possible to switch to and get off. This is because the link information obtained by reading the two-dimensional code QR installed next to the name of the intended stop from the route map of the stop includes the route code, the stop, and the stop code. It is. When this information is transmitted to the information distribution server 30 by operating the boarding button 402, the information distribution server 30 can know the bus route, direction, and getting-off stop. When is operated, the bus closest to the boarding stop can be searched from the operation management server 40 and recognized as a boarding bus.

  As a result, the guidance terminal device 20 switches to the boarding mode (route display) and displays the current position displayed on the display means 215 with a bus icon or the like. The following two methods can be used for obtaining the current position information. The first method is a method of periodically acquiring the position information of the bus on which the information distribution server 30 is boarded from the operation management server 40 of the location system. Thereby, the current position of the boarding bus can be displayed on the boarding route map displayed on the display means 215 of the guidance terminal device 20.

  The second method can be applied when the guide terminal device 20 has positioning means 217 equipped with a GPS receiver, and is a method of map matching the position information acquired by the positioning means 217 to the route. . That is, as described above, the boarding route is recognized by the information distribution server 30, and the boarding route map is downloaded to the guidance terminal device 20, so the current position is determined based on the position information acquired by the positioning means 217. Map matching can be performed on the route map.

  The first method can be realized even if the guidance terminal device 20 does not have a GPS function, but depending on the timing of pressing the boarding button 402, the boarding bus may be mistaken, and the user may be aware of this point. is necessary. On the other hand, the second method can obtain the current position by the guide terminal device 20 itself by GPS, so it can be realized even for a route without a bus location system, and the link is recorded on the two-dimensional code QR of the stop. If the information is in accordance with the present invention, it is possible to specify the route, direction, and stop. Accordingly, even if the vehicle is on the bus, if the GPS accuracy is sufficiently high, map matching with the route map enables display and guidance of the current position that is sufficiently practical. Thus, as shown in FIG. 10, the bus icon 110 can be displayed on the route map on the display means 215 of the guidance terminal device 20 to display the current position of the boarding bus.

  In addition, when the current position of the guidance terminal device 20 can be acquired as described above, it is possible to guide the getting-off stop. In the case of a route bus, the user is often not as familiar as the train route, and on the route on which the user first boarded, the approach of the getting-off stop cannot be recognized, and there are many cases where attention is forced and tension is forced during the ride. In addition, there are many sections where the interval between stops is short and there are many similar names, such as “Ogibashi 1-chome”, “Ogibashi 2-chome”, “Ogibashi 3-chome”.

  In order to cope with this, since the current position of the boarding bus, the route on which it was boarded, and the getting-off stop are known as described above, when the current position enters the section in front of the getting-off stop, the guidance terminal device 20 is shown in FIG. If the message 111 such as “Please press the buzzer to get off” is further displayed from the current position display shown in FIG.

  In the above embodiment, since the guidance terminal device 20 inputs the boarding route, the boarding stop, and the getting-off stop, the mode of reading the two-dimensional code QR installed on the route map posted at each bus stop has been described. Not only this mode, but also a mode in which a desired route, a stop, or the like is selected by directly inputting from the operation / input unit 216 of the guidance terminal device 20 or using a selection screen downloaded from the information distribution server 30. Good.

  Recently, various technologies have been proposed in which a mobile phone incorporates a non-contact type IC (wireless communication type IC chip) to perform fare settlement when using transportation. A system for managing entrance to a station using such a non-contact type IC is conventionally known (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-16011). For example, an automatic ticket gate has a non-contact type reading unit, and is recorded in the IC when a mobile phone incorporating a non-contact type IC or a ticket incorporating a non-contact type IC approaches the reading unit. Information can be read or written (updated) by wireless communication. Therefore, by reading and writing the information of the non-contact IC, the information of the departure station where the user using the mobile phone or the boarding ticket entered and the information of the getting-off station where the user got off can be acquired to manage the entry / exit of the user, Information on the balance recorded in the non-contact IC can be acquired.

  When such a mobile phone is used as the guide terminal device 20, since the route, boarding stop, and getting-off stop are known in the above-described boarding mode, the communication means for communicating with the guide terminal device 20 to the bus vehicle 50. 510 and a fare clearing means 520 for performing fare clearing, and if the balance of the charge amount for settlement is stored in the non-contact IC 214 built in the guide terminal device 20, the guide terminal device 20 When transmitting data by communication, it is possible to transmit the stop code and the stop code read from the two-dimensional code QR as described above. Therefore, the fare clearing means 520 transmits the fare corresponding to the boarding section to the guidance terminal device 20 and can settle the payment from the settlement amount charged in the non-contact type IC 214.

  When the communication means 510 is installed in the bus vehicle to communicate with the non-contact type IC 214 to read or write the information, the route code read from the two-dimensional code QR by the guide terminal device 20, the boarding stop code, the getting-off stop The code is stored in the non-contact type IC 214 as boarding section information on the guide terminal device 20 side, and the bus vehicle communication means 510 (non-contact type IC reader) reads the boarding section information together with the balance information, and the fare clearing means 520 It can also be configured to settle the fare.

  At that time, the fare clearing means can perform the following processing. That is, in the case of a fare system in which the fare varies depending on the boarding section, it can be checked whether the charge charged in the non-contact IC 214 is sufficient for the boarding section. If not enough, the fact is transmitted to the guidance terminal device 20 and displayed on the display means 215. Passengers can deal with this by looking at this display and performing a charge process while getting on the board, or by preparing a small amount of change.

  Furthermore, it is possible to check the route code with respect to the guidance terminal device 20 to warn if there is a mistake in the boarding bus or to perform the above-mentioned getting-off guidance. That is, if the route code obtained by the fare clearing means 520 from the route guidance terminal device 20 does not match the route on which the bus vehicle is operating, or if the bus stop is not on the bus vehicle operating route, Since it is a bus vehicle on the route, the fare clearing means 520 transmits a warning message to the guidance terminal device 20, and in this case, charging, that is, no fare clearing is performed. As a result, the passenger notices that the bus vehicle on board was wrong and can get off.

  Also, even if the passenger does not push the buzzer in the car, the fare clearing means 520 on the bus vehicle side stores the getting-off stop obtained from each passenger's guide terminal device 20 and gives an instruction to the driver. The display at that time is as shown in FIG. 12, and a message 121 indicating that the vehicle is already registered for getting off is displayed. The bus announcement will also be “Next is Ogihashi 3-chome. It will stop.” In addition, by sending this message 121 to the corresponding passenger terminal 20 and displaying it, the bus vehicle will appear in the stop area. You will be able to guide that you have entered.

  In addition, by recording the attribute information of the user (passenger) in the non-contact IC provided in the guidance terminal device 20, it is possible to notify the driver of the bus vehicle of the user's attribute and prompt an appropriate response. become able to. That is, the user attribute information includes, for example, “whether wheelchair is used”, “cane is used”, “hearing is impaired”, “visually impaired”, “first boarding section”, etc. It is related information, and these pieces of information are recorded in the non-contact type IC for each item.

  Then, as described above, when getting on, the contactless IC notifies the fare clearing means 520 via the bus vehicle communication means 510 of the route, the boarding stop, and the getting off stop as well as the attribute information. As a result, the driver of the bus vehicle 50 is notified from the fare clearing means 520 that there is a passenger getting off before each bus stop as described above, and the attribute information is notified. In this way, the driver not only knows that there are passengers getting off, but also can take appropriate measures according to the attribute information.

  In other words, if the use of wheelchairs or walking sticks is registered, you can give consideration to slowing down gently, operate the ramp at the exit, etc., and if a visually impaired or hearing impaired passenger gets off, stop Take a long time and make sure you get off. Alternatively, when there is a passenger who is in the first boarding section, it is possible to take appropriate measures such as providing a service such as making an announcement again and emphasizing the getting-off bus stop. In addition, passengers can set in advance whether or not it is the first boarding section, but when reading the two-dimensional code of the getting-off stop at the boarding stop, we will inform you whether it is a section that has been used in the past The terminal device 20 may check and set automatically.
