  First, the user terminal device 20, the dispatch taxi management server 30, the taxi terminal device 40, and the empty taxi management server 50 are each in a standby state. First, in step S-401, in the taxi terminal device 40, the empty vehicle determining means 44 determines whether or not the own vehicle is an empty vehicle. This can be done by interlocking with taximeters or actual empty vehicle indicators (super sign) whose operation settings are different between passengers and when they are empty.

  If it is detected that the taxi is in an empty state, the taxi that is an empty vehicle detects the current position in step S-402. This is performed by the GPS receiving means 43 of the taxi terminal device 40 receiving a signal from a GPS satellite and calculating the current position. Subsequently, in step S-403, in addition to the current position calculated by the taxi information editing means 45, information such as a wireless ID and date / time is edited, and data that can be transmitted to the empty taxi management server 50 is created. Then, the edited empty taxi information is transmitted to the empty taxi management server 50 via the network 12 in step S-404.

  In the present embodiment, the method of detecting the current position and generating the empty taxi information when it is determined that the taxi is an empty vehicle has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to detect the position and direction of the taxi, determine whether the vehicle is empty each time, add the empty vehicle information to the empty taxi information, and create data. The transmission of the empty taxi information from the taxi terminal device 40 to the empty taxi management server 50 may be performed each time the current position is detected, but the taxi terminal device 40 stores the history of empty taxi information over a certain period. Alternatively, it may be transmitted to the empty taxi management server 50 in a lump.

  When the empty taxi management server 50 receives the empty taxi information transmitted from the taxi terminal device 40 in step S-501, the taxi information statistical processing means 53 statistically processes the empty taxi information. This acquires position information, travel information, and date / time information, and classifies them by radio ID. The statistically processed data is stored in the empty taxi information database 60 in step S-502, and the empty taxi management server 50 enters a standby state.

  In step S-201, when the user operates the operation input means 27 to input a map display request centered on the current location, the user receiving device 20 detects the current position in step S-202. In step S-203, a map display request centered on the current location is sent to the dispatch taxi management server 30.

  When the dispatch taxi management server 30 receives the map display request, in step S-301, the route searching means 33 refers to the map database 80 to extract a map image centered on the current position, and the guide route data editing means 34. In step S-302, guide data is created and transmitted to the user terminal device 20.

  In step S-303, the created map data is transmitted to the user terminal device 20, and a map display screen 510 as shown in FIG. 5A is displayed on the display means 26 of the user terminal device 20. . The map display screen 510 includes a map image 511, a mark 512 indicating the current position where the user is currently located, and a menu icon 513. Here, when the user selects the menu icon 513, a menu screen 520 as shown in FIG. 5B is displayed.

  Menu screen 520 includes a plurality of menu items 521. These menu items include, for example, “route search” for searching for a suitable route to a destination specified by the user separately from the current position as a departure point, “parking search” for providing parking information around the current location, "Transfer guidance" that guides the route using the railway to the destination specified by the user, "Gourmet search" that provides information about restaurants and restaurants around the current location, "Taxi dispatch" that provides taxi dispatch service, etc. is there.

  In this embodiment, when the user selects the “taxi dispatch” menu item, it is considered that the taxi dispatch request is input in step S-204, and the taxi dispatch requesting means 24 in step S-205 determines the dispatch position (latitude and longitude). Taxi dispatch request including information) is transmitted to the dispatch taxi management server 30.

  In this embodiment, the taxi dispatch request is input from the menu item. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and taxi dispatch is performed by pressing a specific key (for example, “8” on the numeric keypad) of the operation input means 27. The request may be transmitted to the dispatch taxi management server 30.

  When the taxi allocation server 30 receives the taxi allocation request from the user terminal device 20, the taxi allocation request is sent to the empty taxi management server 50 by editing the conditions such as the user ID and the allocation position information (step S-304). ).

  When the empty taxi management server 50 receives the taxi allocation request, in step S-503, the allocation taxi information extraction means 54 refers to the empty taxi information database 60, and the user designates the empty taxi near the current location in the user terminal device 20. The taxi suitable for the dispatch request is extracted, the information is acquired and transmitted to the user terminal device 20 in step S-504, and transmitted to the dispatch taxi management server 30 in step S-505. Further, in step S-506, the dispatching instruction information is transmitted to the taxi terminal device 40 of the extracted taxi.

  Based on the dispatch taxi information received by the user terminal device 20, the user ID and the estimated arrival time of the dispatch taxi are displayed on the display means 26 together with the dispatch acceptance message in step S-206.

  Based on the taxi allocation request and the allocation taxi information received by the allocation taxi management server 30, the allocation date and time information and allocation position information desired by the user by the allocation reservation registration means 36 in step S-305, the estimated arrival time of the allocation taxi, A temporary charge cancellation code or the like is registered as vehicle allocation reservation information in the vehicle allocation reservation database 70 in association with the user ID. Further, a predetermined fee for dispatching a taxi in response to a dispatch request is registered as a provisional charge record in the dispatch reservation database 70 in association with the user ID.

  After that, the user gets on the taxi that was dispatched as scheduled, gets off at the destination, and settles the fare. In step S-405, the receipt issuing means 46 accesses the dispatch taxi management server 30 URL, the user A receipt printed with a QR code printed by editing the ID, provisional charge release code, use vehicle number, boarding position, getting off position, use time, etc. is issued. The receipt guides the user to access the predetermined URL by reading the QR code by the QR code reading means 28 of the user terminal device 20 within a predetermined time when the user gets out of the taxi.

  In step S-207, when the user reads the QR code printed on the receipt by the QR code reading means 28, the user terminal device 20 manages the dispatch taxi via the communication means 22 based on the predetermined URL in step S-208. The server 30 is accessed and the read provisional charge cancellation code is transmitted to the dispatch taxi management server 30.

  In step S-305, the dispatch taxi management server 30 uses the provisional charge release unit 37 to receive a temporary charge record of the same temporary charge release code registered in the vehicle assignment reservation database 70 based on the temporary charge release code received from the user terminal device 20. Is set to 0 (temporary charge is released). If there is a pick-up fee, it will be settled directly when paying the fare.

  Here, if the user gets on another taxi or does not use the dispatch taxi at all, the user cannot obtain the temporary charge cancellation code, and the temporary charge cancellation code is not allocated to the dispatch taxi management server 30. Therefore, the dispatch taxi management server 30 can process a provisional billing record that is not released when, for example, 24 hours or more have elapsed from the estimated dispatch time, as formal billing. For example, the official billing is totaled at the end of the month and paid from the operating company of the dispatch taxi management server 30 to the taxi company which is the operating company of the empty taxi management server 50.

  In addition, the dispatching services that have been used normally are counted, for example, at the end of the month. It can also be charged. Since the QR code printed on the receipt can be used for inquiries about lost items, this system is advantageous to all users.

  In the above-described embodiment, the temporary charge cancellation code added to the receipt is used by reading the QR code from the QR code reading means 28 of the user terminal device 20, but the receipt is read before the QR code is read. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, “When you get off the taxi, press this button to send the location information to the server. If the button is pressed, GPS positioning is performed, and the getting-off position and the getting-off time may be transmitted to the dispatch taxi management server 30.

  In this case, the dispatch taxi management server 30 transmits the user ID, the getting-off position, and the getting-off time to the empty taxi management server 50, and the empty taxi management server 50 uses the ride taxi in the vicinity of the getting-off position and the getting-off time. If the person has received a notification that he / she has settled and got off, a provisional charge cancellation code may be issued to the dispatch taxi management server 30.

  Also, if the taxi company fails to deliver the vehicle by the estimated arrival time, a GPS page is prepared at the boarding location and sent to the empty taxi management server 50 or the dispatch taxi management server 30 for display. You may let them. If there is a user at the boarding position even after the estimated arrival time, the empty taxi management server 50 issues a temporary charge cancellation code to the dispatch taxi management server 30 because it is not the responsibility of the user. In this case, this process may be linked with the case of canceling the dispatch.

  In the present embodiment, the vehicle allocation request made from the taxi allocation requesting means 24 of the user terminal device 20 is once made to the allocation taxi management server 30 and edited by the taxi allocation requesting means 35 of the allocation taxi management server 30. This is performed for the empty taxi management server 50, and the empty taxi management server 50 transmits the extracted dispatch taxi information to the dispatch taxi management server 30. The billing process and the provisional charge cancellation process are performed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the taxi dispatch requesting means 24 of the user terminal device 20 makes a direct dispatch request to the empty taxi management server 50, The empty taxi management server 50 performs a temporary charging process for the user terminal device 20 and a temporary charging cancellation process.
