Description

The present invention is, for example, the distribution terminal apparatus in a local information distribution service that provides local information to the mobile terminal interspersed particular route such as roads, a method for distributing the distribution terminal apparatus, the delivery program of the distribution terminal apparatus, delivery The present invention relates to a distribution method of a system and a distribution system.

“Local information” is information that is localized and stays in a certain region or route. Examples of local information for a given route include progress information, traffic jam information, and map information of public transportation such as ambulances and buses.
“Localization / stagnation” of local information means that local information is distributed to a mobile terminal in a specific area and the local information is held in the specific area.

FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram of a conventional local information distribution service.
The conventional local information distribution service has a configuration as shown in FIG. For example, when an ambulance wants to secure a traveling path of its own vehicle to go to a hospital, a conventional distribution system operates as follows.
First, the ambulance transmits ambulance route information as local information to the local information distribution server via the relay station.
Next, the local information distribution server analyzes the ambulance route information added to the local information, and distributes the ambulance route information to the relay station located in the range where the radio wave reaches the route.
The relay station distributes ambulance route information to a general vehicle traveling along the ambulance travel route.

In addition, means for sharing local information using inter-vehicle communication without using a server has been devised (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2).
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-202913 (Patent Document 1) proposes a method in which a predetermined area is set by inter-vehicle communication, and alarm information is transmitted and received according to the positional relationship between this area and the own vehicle.
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-159695 (Patent Document 2) proposes a method of determining the priority of distribution to other vehicles in accordance with the relationship with other vehicles in the wireless LAN (Local Area Network) communication range of the own vehicle. ing.

In addition, a method for determining a network route in an ad hoc network has been proposed (Patent Document 3).
JP 2005-202913 A JP 2005-159695 A JP 2002-232352 A

The conventional local information distribution service as shown in FIG. 21 has a format in which local information distribution is transmitted from the local information distribution server to each mobile terminal via a relay station.
Currently, communication via a relay station employs a packet communication method used for mobile phone calls, etc., so users who receive local information communicate charges in a metered manner each time they receive a packet. You have to pay the carrier. In addition, it is essential to install a relay station for each arbitrary area, which increases installation costs. Furthermore, when local traffic jam information is distributed as local information, it is necessary to detect each vehicle traveling on the road as a traffic jam source. That is, since each vehicle becomes a traffic jam information provider, there is a problem that traffic jam information (detection information obtained by detecting a traveling vehicle) is concentrated on the local information distribution server and the load is increased.

  Moreover, local information distribution services using inter-vehicle communication such as Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 transmit local information by propagation of radio waves. However, local information spreads to areas that do not require local information, for example, road areas where ambulances do not travel (areas outside the local information optimum propagation area in FIG. 21). Then, there arises a problem that an unnecessary load is applied to the communication line due to communication of useless local information.

Further, the ad hoc network as in Patent Document 3 has the following problems.
22 and 23 are schematic diagrams of an ad hoc network.
In FIG. 22, the mobile terminal CAR1, mobile terminal CAR3, mobile terminal CAR4, mobile terminal CAR5, and mobile terminal CAR6 form a network (group) by the ad hoc network. The mobile terminal CAR1, the mobile terminal CAR3, the mobile terminal CAR4, the mobile terminal CAR5, and the mobile terminal CAR6 share the local information Local1 in the local information optimal propagation area.
Here, as shown in FIG. 23, when the mobile terminal CAR5 moves out of the local information optimal propagation area and the mobile terminal CAR2 moves into the local information optimal propagation area, the mobile terminal CAR5 leaves the group. The notification and the participation notification indicating participation of the mobile terminal CAR2 in the group must be notified to all terminals (mobile terminal CAR1, mobile terminal CAR3, mobile terminal CAR4, mobile terminal CAR6) in the network (group).
For this reason, when a mobile terminal that moves at high speed, such as an in-vehicle device of an automobile, performs communication, there is a possibility that a connection request or a response message for communicating a disconnection notification or a participation notification may be congested. Further, since an ad hoc network forms a network group, there is a problem that it takes time to establish a network when a sender or receiver such as an automobile moves at high speed.

  The present invention eliminates, for example, the server installation cost of the local information distribution service, does not require connection processing for group formation, and only provides local information for a specific route (local information optimal propagation area) with a mobile terminal. It is intended for localization.

  The distribution terminal device of the present invention transmits transmission data including distribution information to an acquisition terminal device and transmits the transmission data from an acquisition terminal device located in the distribution destination area to another acquisition terminal device. A distribution terminal device that distributes distribution information to each acquisition terminal device that is located in a distribution destination that indicates the area in which transmission data is transmitted from the acquisition terminal device when the acquisition terminal device is located in the area A transmission data generation unit A that acquires area information and distribution information from a storage device, generates transmission data including distribution information and distribution destination area information using a central processing unit, and stores the transmission data in the storage device; It is characterized by comprising a transmitter A which is obtained from a storage device and transmits using a transmitter.

According to the present invention, since the distribution terminal device transmits the distribution destination area information together with the distribution information, for example, the local information can be localized with respect to a specific route (local information optimal propagation area).
The present invention is based on an environment in which a plurality of mobile terminals (acquisition terminal devices) are scattered on an arbitrary road, and the first transmission mobile terminal (distribution terminal device) includes its own local information (transmission data) to be distributed. Add location information and specific route information (an example of distribution area information) and broadcast local information around you. The mobile terminal (acquisition terminal device) that has received the local information investigates the route information added to the local information and the position information (position information B) of the own vehicle, and the own vehicle is on the route (within the delivery destination area). Broadcast local information received around you only if you are. At this time, the local information is retained, and the local information is discarded when the position of the vehicle is deviated from the route (an example of the retained area information B). By repeating the above method, local information can be localized with respect to an arbitrary route without using a local information distribution server and a relay station.

The distribution process of the mobile terminal CAR1 that is the source of the local information Local1 will be described below with reference to FIG.
Each “˜means” executes the following processing using a processing device such as the CPU 911.

<X1: Transmission data generation process A>
First, the data operation means CAR1H creates the format data of the local information Local1 as shown in FIG.
<X2: Transmission data generation process A>
Next, data to be transmitted by the data operating means CAR1H is created as a data body Local1A and stored in the local information Local1. The local information Local1 is, for example, emergency vehicle traffic information.

<X3>
Next, all route information All_Route1 to the destination is acquired by the all route acquisition means CAR1F. The all route information All_Route1 is, for example, a travel route calculated by the car navigation system for a set destination.

<X4: Transmission interval determination processing A>
Next, the mobile terminal CAR1 determines whether or not to comply with the transmission restriction condition Local1C before broadcasting the local information Local1 to surrounding vehicles by the transmission means CAR1D. For example, the transmission interval determination unit CAR1I acquires the transmission interval time (an example of the transmission interval information A) stored in the data storage unit CAR1E as the transmission constraint condition Local1C, and the transmission interval time has elapsed since the previous local information Local1 transmission. Is determined using the internal clock. If the transmission interval time is “1 minute” and the previous local information transmission time is “12:00”, the transmission interval determination unit CAR1I determines whether or not the current time is “12:01” or later. . If the current time is “12:01” or later, the transmission restriction condition is satisfied, and the process proceeds to process X5. If the current time is before “12:01”, the transmission restriction condition of the local information Local1 is not satisfied. Move to X9.

<X5: Position acquisition process A>
When it is determined in the process X4 that the mobile terminal CAR1 satisfies the transmission restriction condition, the own vehicle position acquisition unit CAR1A measures the current location.
<X6: Area generation processing>
Next, the specific route information extraction unit CAR1G extracts the specific route Route1 for localizing the local information Local1 from the all route information All_Route1. The specific route information extraction unit CAR1G extracts, for example, the route from the current point to the third intersection from the all route information ALL_Route1 as the specific route Route1.
<X7: outgoing data generation process A>
Next, the data operation means CAR1H creates the specific route Route1 extracted by the specific route information extraction means CAR1G as route information Local1B and stores it in the local information Local1. Further, the data operation means CAR1H acquires the transmission restriction condition Local1C for transmitting the local information Local1 to other mobile terminals from the data storage means CAR1E and stores it in the local information Local1. The transmission interval time for transmitting the local information is an example of the transmission restriction condition Local1C. Further, the data operation means CAR1H obtains the discard restriction condition Local1D from which the other mobile terminal discards the local information Local1 from the data storage means CAR1E and stores it in the local information Local1. The specific route Route1 is an example of the discard restriction condition Local1D.
<X8: Call processing A>
Then, the transmission means CAR1D broadcasts the local information Local1.

<X9>
Next, the data operation means CAR1H determines whether or not the destruction constraint condition for deleting the local information Local1 from the data storage means CAR1E is satisfied. The data operation means CAR1 acquires, for example, all route information All_Route1 stored in the data holding means CAR1E as a discard restriction condition, and the current location measured by the own vehicle position acquisition means CAR1A is positioned on the route indicated by the all route information All_Route1. It is determined whether the vehicle has arrived at the destination point. If the current location is outside the route indicated by the all-route information All_Route1 or the destination point, the process proceeds to the processing X10 to satisfy the discard constraint condition. If the current location is on the route indicated by the all-route information All_Route1 and is not the destination location, the discard constraint condition is set. Since it does not satisfy, it returns to the process X4.
<X10>
In the process X9, when it is determined that the data operation means CAR1H satisfies the discard restriction condition Local1D, the transmission means CAR1D stops and the data operation means CAR1H deletes the local information Local1 from the data storage means CAR1E. Then, the mobile terminal CAR1 ends the distribution process.

  By the above processing, for example, the mobile terminal CAR1 updates the route information Local1B indicating the route from the own vehicle position to the third intersection at one minute intervals according to the own vehicle position, and transmits the local information Local1.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of distribution processing showing a distribution method of mobile terminal CAR2 to mobile terminal CAR6 (an example of an acquisition terminal device) in the first embodiment.
A distribution process of the mobile terminals CAR2 to CAR6, which is a distribution destination of the local information Local1, and is a transfer source that transfers the local information Local1 to other mobile terminals, will be described below with reference to FIG.
Each “˜means” executes the following processing using a processing device such as the CPU 911.

<Y1: Reception process B>
First, the receiving means CAR1B of the mobile terminal CAR2 to the mobile terminal CAR6 is in a standby state until the local information Local1 is received from the mobile terminal CAR1 or another mobile terminal. When the local information Local1 is received, the receiving unit CAR1B stores the local information Local1 in the data storage unit CAR1E.

<Y2: holding area determination process B>
The mobile terminal that has received the local information Local1 extracts the discard constraint condition Local1D from the local information Local1, and determines whether or not the discard constraint condition Local1D is satisfied. When the discard restriction condition Local1D indicates a specific route, the vehicle position acquisition unit CAR1A measures the current point of the vehicle, and the position analysis unit CAR1C determines whether the current point is located on the specific route. If the current location is outside the specific route, the process proceeds to process Y3 to satisfy the discard constraint condition Local1D. If the current location is on the specific route, the process proceeds to process Y4 because the discard constraint condition Local1D is not satisfied.

<Y3: outgoing data holding process B>
If it is determined in process Y2 that the mobile terminal satisfies the discard restriction condition Local1D, the transmission means CAR1D stops, and the data operation means CAR1H deletes the local information Local1 from the data storage means CAR1E. Then, the mobile terminal ends the distribution process.

<Y4: Position acquisition process B>
When the mobile terminal determines in the process Y2 that the discard restriction condition Local1D is not satisfied, first, the own vehicle position acquisition means CAR1A measures and acquires the position information of the own vehicle.

<Y5>
Next, the data operation means CAR1H extracts route information Local1B indicating the specific route Route1 from the local information Local1.

<Y6: Distribution area determination process B>
Next, the vehicle position information acquired by the process Y4 and the specific route Route1 are compared by the position analysis means CAR1C. If the position analysis means CAR1C determines that the vehicle position is outside the specific route Route1, the process returns to the process Y2.
<Y7: Transmission interval determination process B>
If the position analysis means CAR1C determines that the vehicle is located on the arbitrary route Route1 in the process Y6, the mobile terminal checks whether or not the transmission restriction condition Local1C of the local information Local1 is satisfied. For example, if the transmission restriction condition Local1C is the transmission interval time “1 minute” and the previous local information Local1 transmission time is “12:00”, the transmission interval determination means CAR1I has the current time “12: 1”. It is determined whether it is after. If the current time is "12:01" or later, the process goes to process Y8 to satisfy the outgoing restriction condition Local1C. If the current time is before "12:01", the outgoing restriction condition Local1C is not satisfied, and the process Y2 is performed again. Return to.

<Y8: Call processing B>
When it is determined in the process Y7 that the transmission restriction condition Local1C is satisfied, the transmission unit CAR1D broadcasts the local information Local1 to surrounding cars.

  By the above processing, the mobile terminals CAR2 to CAR6 measure, for example, at intervals of 1 minute, and when the local information Local1 is transmitted to other mobile terminals when located on the specific route Route1, but not located on the specific route Route1 The local information Local1 is discarded.

8-15 is a figure which shows the specific example of operation | movement of the delivery system in Embodiment 1. FIG.
A specific example of a method for localizing local information on a specific route in the distribution system described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  8 to 15, the mobile terminal CAR1 is a distribution source that distributes the local information Local1, and moves toward the destination Goal1. The mobile terminals 2 to 6 are distribution destinations to which the local information Local1 is distributed, and are transfer sources that transfer the local information Local1 to other mobile terminals.

In the following description, the route (specific route Route1 or specific route Route2) to the second intersection in the route (all route information All_Route1) from the own vehicle position of the mobile terminal CAR1 to the destination Goal1 is assumed to be route information Local1B. The route from the position of the mobile terminal CAR1 shown in FIG. 8 to the second intersection is the specific route Route1, and the route from the mobile terminal CAR1 moved to the position shown in FIG. 12 to the second intersection is the specific route Route2. is there.
Further, the transmission interval time “1 minute” is set as the transmission restriction condition Local1C.
Similarly to the route information Local1B, the specific route Route1 or the specific route Route2 is set as the discard restriction condition Local1D.
8 to 14, the local information Local1 is denoted as “1”.

The mobile terminal CAR1 first creates local information Local1 (X1), and stores the data body Local1A in the local information Local1 (X2). Next, the mobile terminal CAR1 acquires all route information All_Route1 (X3). Next, the mobile terminal CAR1 determines the transmission restriction condition (X4), and if the transmission restriction condition is satisfied, the mobile terminal CAR1 determines its own vehicle position (X5) and determines the specific route Route1 for localizing the local information Local1. Extract based on the vehicle position. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the specific route Route1 is set from the position of the mobile terminal CAR1 to the second intersection (X6). Next, the mobile terminal CAR1 sets the specific route Route1 in the route information Local1B, sets the transmission interval time “1 minute” in the transmission restriction condition Local1C, sets the specific route Route1 in the discard restriction condition Local1D, and sets the local information Local1. Is generated (X7). Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the mobile terminal CAR1 broadcasts the local information Local1 to the surroundings (X8).
In FIG. 8, a broadcast range Area1 refers to a radio wave range in which radio transmitted by the mobile terminal CAR1 can reach, and the mobile terminal CAR1 can communicate with other mobile terminals only within the broadcast range Area1. That is, in FIG. 8, the mobile terminal CAR1 can distribute the local information Local1 to the mobile terminal CAR2 located in the broadcast range Area1.

Next, attention is paid to the mobile terminal CAR2 in FIG. The mobile terminal CAR2 is in a local information reception standby state (Y1), and receives the local information Local1 from the mobile terminal CAR1. The mobile terminal CAR2 confirms the discard constraint condition Local1D of the received local information Local1 (Y2), acquires the vehicle position when the discard constraint condition is not satisfied (Y4), and uses the route information Local1B added to the local information Local1. Reference (Y5). Then, the mobile terminal CAR2 determines whether the host vehicle is located within the delivery destination area indicated by the route information Local1B (Y6). In FIG. 9, since the mobile terminal CAR2 is located on the specific route Route1, it is determined that the discard restriction condition is satisfied (Y2), and it is determined that the own vehicle is located in the delivery destination area (Y6). Therefore, the mobile terminal CAR2 determines the transmission restriction condition Local1C of the local information Local1, and if the transmission restriction condition Local1C is satisfied (Y7), it broadcasts the local information Local1 to the surrounding cars in the same manner as the mobile terminal CAR1 (Y8). ). Since the mobile terminal CAR2 has just received the local information Local1 and has not transmitted the local information Local1, it is assumed that the transmission restriction condition is satisfied (Y7).
In FIG. 9, a broadcast range Area2 indicates a radio wave range in which radio transmitted by the mobile terminal CAR2 reaches, and the mobile terminal CAR2 can communicate with other mobile terminals only within the broadcast range Area2. The size of the radio wave range that each mobile terminal can distribute local information, the number of local information that each mobile terminal can simultaneously distribute, and the like may be the same or different. That is, the size of the broadcast range Area1 of the mobile terminal CAR1 and the size of the broadcast range Area2 of the mobile terminal CAR2 may be the same or different.

By repeating the above operation, as shown in FIG. 10, it is possible to distribute the local information Local1 to a plurality of mobile terminals existing on the specific route Route1.
That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the mobile terminal CAR1 transmits local information Local1, the mobile terminal CAR2 located in the broadcast range Area1 receives and transmits local information Local1 from the mobile terminal CAR1, and is located in the broadcast range Area2. The mobile terminal CAR4 receives and transmits the local information Local1 from the mobile terminal CAR2, and the mobile terminal CAR3 and the mobile terminal CAR5 located in the broadcast range Area4 receive and transmit the local information Local1 from the mobile terminal CAR4. Thereby, the mobile terminals CAR1 to CAR5 hold the local information Local1.
From the above, it can be said that the local information Local1 is localized on the specific route Route1.

Next, a method for localizing the local information Local1 only on the specific route Route1, that is, a method for not localizing the local information Local1 in an area other than the specific route Route1 will be described.
In FIG. 10, attention is paid to the operation of the mobile terminal CAR6. The mobile terminal CAR6 is in a local information standby state (Y1), and is included in the radio range Area3 of the mobile terminal CAR3, and therefore receives the local information Local1. In FIG. 10, since the mobile terminal CAR6 is not located in the specific route Route1, the discard restriction condition is satisfied (Y2), and the local information Local1 is discarded (Y3). That is, the local information Local1 is not localized outside the specific range Route1. Further, even when the discard constraint condition Local1D of the local information Local1 is different from the route information Local1B and the vehicle position is not located in the specific route Route1 indicated by the route information Local1B even when the discard constraint condition is not satisfied, the local information Local1 is stored. It does not broadcast to surrounding cars. That is, the local information Local1 is not diffused outside the specific route Route1, and the local information Local1 is localized only on the specific route Route1.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11, it is assumed that each mobile terminal has moved. That is, the mobile terminal CAR1 that is the distribution source of the local information Local1 has passed the first intersection. Also, assuming that the route from the destination of the mobile terminal CAR1 to the second intersection is the specific route Route2, the mobile terminal CAR2, the mobile terminal CAR3, and the mobile terminal CAR5 move out of the specific route Route2, and the mobile terminal CAR6 is the specific route Moved into Route 2.

FIG. 12 shows a state after the mobile terminals CAR1 to CAR6 have moved.
In FIG. 12, the mobile terminal CAR1 sets the specific route Route2 from the position of the own vehicle to the second intersection (X6), and updates the route information Local1B of the local information Local1 with the specific route Route2 as described above (X7). . At this time, the local information updated and held by the mobile terminal CAR1 is referred to as local information Local1_Route2. 12 to 15, the local information Local1_Route2 is denoted as “2”. Then, the mobile terminal CAR1 broadcasts local information Local1_Route2 to surrounding mobile terminals (X8).
The local information Local1_Route2 broadcast from the mobile terminal CAR1 is first propagated to the mobile terminal CAR3 and the mobile terminal CAR6 that exist within the radio wave range Area1 of the vehicle. Since it is determined that the mobile terminal CAR6 is located in the specific route Route2 (Y6), the local information Local1_Route2 is broadcast to the surroundings (Y8), but the mobile terminal CAR3 is determined to be located outside the specific route Route2 (Y6). The local information Local1_Route2 is not broadcast.

  By repeating the above, a state as shown in FIG. 13 is obtained. That is, when the mobile terminal CAR1, mobile terminal CAR6, and mobile terminal CAR4 located in the specific route Route2 propagate the local information Local1_Route2, the local information Local1_Route2 becomes the mobile terminal CAR1, the mobile terminal CAR3, the mobile terminal CAR4, the mobile terminal CAR5, and It will be held in the mobile terminal CAR6. At this time, the mobile terminal CAR2 cannot receive the local information Local1_Route2 because it is not within the radio wave range of the mobile terminal located in the specific route Route2, and holds the local information Local1.

  Therefore, the range in which the data body Local1A is localized is an OR range RouteX of the localization range of the local information Local1 and the localization range of the local information Local1_Route2, as shown in FIG.

  Therefore, the mobile terminal CAR1 sets “outside the path included in the path information Local1B” as the discard restriction condition Local1D when broadcasting the local information. In this case, for example, in the case of the mobile terminal CAR2, since it is determined that the terminal is out of the specific route Route1 (route information Local1B) added to the local information Local1, the discard restriction condition is satisfied (Y2), Information Local1 is discarded (Y3). Similarly, since the mobile terminal CAR3 and the mobile terminal CAR5 determine that their own terminals are out of the specific route Route2 (route information Local1B) added to the local information Local1_Route2, they satisfy the discard restriction condition (Y2), and the local information Local1_Route2 is discarded (Y3). With the above processing, the local information Local1_Route2 is localized on the specific route Route2 set by the mobile terminal CAR1 as shown in FIG.

  As described above, even when the mobile terminal CAR1 moves, the local information is always localized on a specific route set by the mobile terminal CAR1 based on an arbitrary condition such as “route to the second intersection”. To do. For this reason, it is possible to avoid redundant local information propagation in a place where local information is unnecessary, such as a place off the movement route of the mobile terminal CAR1, and network congestion caused thereby.

The setting contents of the data body Local1A, the route information Local1B, the transmission restriction condition Local1C, and the discard restriction condition Local1D included in the local information Local1 in the above description are arbitrary, and are selected according to the characteristics of the local information distribution service using the distribution system. do it.
Examples of local information Local1 include emergency vehicle traffic information and bus traffic information on bus priority roads.
Further, as an example of the route information Local1B, there are a total route information All_Route1 and a specific route Route1 which is a part of the whole route information All_Route1. The specific route Route1 is selected based on an arbitrary condition such as “a route from the current location to the second intersection”, “a route from the current location to 500 m ahead”, or “a route from the current location 100 m to 500 m ahead”. Further, the route information Local1B may not be the movement route of the source mobile terminal of the local information Local1, but may be a specific area such as an accident occurrence site or a construction site. Moreover, the content of the route information Local1B may be plural. For example, a plurality of intersections leading to the accident site may be used as the route information Local1B.
Further, as an example of the transmission restriction condition Local1C, there are conditions such as “has a specific time elapsed since the previous local information transmission time” or “has moved a specific distance from the previous local information transmission point?”.
Further, as examples of the discard restriction condition Local1D, “Is it located outside the route of the specific route Route1”, “Is it located outside the route of the all route information All_Route1”, “Has local information been transmitted a specific number of times”, The condition is “Is it a specific distance away from the sender?”.

  Next, an example of a local information distribution service using the distribution system in the first embodiment will be described.

<Example 1>
As an example in the first embodiment of the local information delivery service, “emergency vehicle traveling route securing method” can be considered.

With the improvement of manufacturing technology in current general vehicles, the airtightness in the vehicle improves and shields unpleasant sounds such as engine sounds to provide comfort, but on the other hand, there are more cases where warning sounds such as emergency vehicles can not be heard ing. In addition, facilitating the passage of emergency vehicles increases the possibility of helping critically ill patients.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a local information distribution service is performed with a configuration as shown in FIG.
First, the ambulance creates local information Local1 in which the data body Local1A such as a warning message and sound information indicating that the ambulance is approaching is set. Then, all route information from the own vehicle to the hospital (specific route area in FIG. 16) is added to the local information Local1 as route information Local1B, and broadcasted to surrounding ordinary vehicles. If a general car has a car navigation system as shown in FIG. 17, for example, the warning message and sound as well as the route information of the ambulance are mapped onto the map and displayed simultaneously.
However, when the distance between the ambulance and the hospital is long, if there is no transmission restriction condition Local1C in the local information Local1, the warning message is propagated to a far place and the network congestion increases. Therefore, the ambulance extracts the arbitrarily selected route (specific route) such as “to the second intersection” from all the routes, sets it as the transmission restriction condition Local1C, and updates it locally to update the local Broadcast information Local1. Thereby, network congestion can be suppressed.
In addition, since the warning information is not required on the route through which the ambulance has passed, the ambulance sets a condition to cause the mobile terminal that has deviated from the specific route to delete the warning information in the discard restriction condition Local1D of the local information Local1. Just keep it.
As a result, it is possible to efficiently warn a general vehicle on the traveling path of the ambulance, and the running of the ambulance can be made smooth.

<Example 2>
As an example in the first embodiment of the local information distribution service, “a driving support service for public transportation” is conceivable.

In order to facilitate the passage of public transportation such as route buses, priority lanes are set on some roads with time restrictions, but priority traffic lanes often do not function due to the driving of ordinary cars in places where traffic congestion occurs. . On the other hand, if the bus does not pass for a certain period, clearing the priority lane worsens the congestion of ordinary cars. In addition, in order to solve these problems, PTPS (Public Transportation Priority Systems: public vehicle priority system) is used. However, conventional PTPS requires installation on the road such as an optical beacon, and also performs linked processing with a traffic light. Therefore, the cost of introducing the system becomes a problem.
In order to solve the above problems, a local information distribution service is performed with the configuration shown in FIGS.
First, the bus creates local information Local1 in which a data body Local1A such as a warning message and sound information indicating that the bus is approaching is set. Then, the bus adds the priority road range of the bus to the local information Local1 as the route information Local1B, and broadcasts the local information Local1 to surrounding general vehicles. At this time, the general vehicle displays a warning message, current bus position information, etc. on the screen of the car navigation system as in the first embodiment, and prompts the driver to change the lane as shown in FIG. I do not care. On the other hand, when the bus stops at or is about to stop, a message (data body Local1A) that the bus can pass the priority lane is broadcast to the surrounding general vehicles, as shown in FIG. In addition, the priority lane may be permitted for ordinary vehicles.
In order to prevent an increase in network congestion, the bus may have a range between stops as route information Local1B. In addition, since the warning information is unnecessary at the point where the bus has already passed, the discard constraint condition Local1D may be outside the route range of the bus.
As a result, it is possible not only to facilitate the running of public transportation such as a route bus, but also to ease the congestion on the priority lane. It also contributes to the reduction of road equipment installation costs.

<Example 3>
As an example in the first embodiment of the local information distribution service, an “accident traffic jam avoidance service” can be considered.

The arrival time to the destination may be delayed due to traffic jams. In the current DRGS (Dynamic Route Guidance System: Dynamic Route Guidance System), not only the delay of server communication occurs but also the installation of on-road devices such as optical beacons in order to notify the state of accidents and traffic jams via the server. Cost was a challenge.
In order to solve the above problems, a local information distribution service is performed with a configuration as shown in FIG.
When an accident occurs, local information Local1 is broadcast from the mobile terminal near the accident site to the surroundings regarding the state of the accident and the location where the accident occurred. At this time, a plurality of intersections connected to the place where the accident occurred may be designated as the specific route set in the route information Local1B of the local information Local1. In the case of FIG. 20, the specific route 1 to the specific route 3 are added to the local information Local1 as route information Local1B. Then, the transmission restriction condition Local1C is set in the specific route 1 to the specific route 3, and the discard restriction condition Local1D is set 1 kilometer away from the accident site. The local information Local1 broadcast by the first caller near the accident is distributed to a general vehicle traveling in the oncoming lane. At this time, since this general vehicle does not satisfy the discard restriction condition Local1D, the vehicle continues to travel while maintaining the accident information. When the specified route 1 to specified route 3 is reached, the received accident information is broadcast to a general vehicle traveling around the intersection. The broadcast information is localized with respect to each specific route by the traffic of a plurality of general vehicles. If the data body Local1A is described in the local information Local1 so as to map the accident information on the car navigation system screen for a general vehicle that has reached a specific route (intersection), within the range of the specific route, Can inform the existence of an accident condition.
This will not only increase traffic congestion due to accidents and other sudden events on all roads, and not only allow ordinary cars to avoid traffic jams, but also promote emergency vehicles to the accident site. Not only can the installation cost of a server or the like be reduced.

<Example 4>
As an example of the first embodiment of the local information distribution service, “advertisement information distribution service in a shopping street” can be considered.

When distributing advertisements of your own store in a shopping street, you can think of ways to distribute leaflets or post store information on the Internet. However, in the former case, personnel costs such as labor costs are incurred, and in the latter case, PULL-type (passive type) information distribution, in which the site is accessed by general customers, it is efficient to attract customers in the shopping street. bad.
In order to solve the above problem, first, an advertisement is broadcast as local information around the shop. At this time, if the road of the shopping street to which the store belongs is set as the route information Local1B, the advertisement is localized in the shopping street, and general customers who have reached the shopping street can receive and view the advertisement. In addition, if the access information to the store is added to the data body Local1A, the route guidance to the store can be executed on the mobile terminal of the general customer, and the general customer can be easily guided to the store. Can do.
As a result, the advertiser in the shopping street can reduce the labor cost and the advertising cost, and can efficiently distribute the advertisement of the own store to the general customers who come and go to the shopping street.

<Example 5>
As an example in the first embodiment of the local information distribution service, “dangerous part warning service” can be considered.

In order to know in advance a sudden danger spot or the like caused by a temporary change in weather conditions such as fallen trees or flooding information due to a typhoon, the situation cannot be grasped unless the spot is actually passed. For this reason, a delay may occur before the information is reflected in a conventional DRGS (dynamic route guidance system) or the like.
In order to solve the above problem, the first discoverer who finds a fallen tree or the like broadcasts local information Local1 in which information about the situation is set in the data body Local1A and the surrounding road is set in the route information Local1B. If a plurality of intersections that approach a road with a fallen tree are set in the route information Local1B, it is possible to notify a general vehicle that has entered the intersection.
As a result, it is possible to detect suddenly dangerous places such as fallen trees without installing roadside equipment on any road.

<Example 6>
As an example in the first embodiment of the local information distribution service, “a motorcycle accident prevention method” can be considered.

There are cases where a general vehicle is unaware of the approach of a motorcycle passing through a side road and involves a motorcycle when making a left turn.
In order to solve the above-described problem, the motorcycle broadcasts local information Local1 to the surroundings as a data body Local1A with respect to a general vehicle on the traveling route of the own vehicle before passing through the intersection. The broadcast information is transmitted to a general vehicle running ahead, and the general vehicle can know in advance that a motorcycle may pass on the left side of its own vehicle. Thereby, the entrainment accident can be avoided. In addition, since local information Local1 is also notified to ordinary vehicles running on the oncoming lane, it is possible to know in advance the two-wheeled vehicle that is in the shadow of the vehicle that passes when turning right, and similarly it is possible to prevent contact accidents It is.
As a result, it is possible to prevent an accident involving a motorcycle traveling along a certain route and a contact accident.

  The following local information propagation / localization method has been described in the first embodiment.

  A local information propagation / localization method that provides local information to a plurality of mobile terminals, and propagates and localizes arbitrary local information on an arbitrary route without using a specific server device.

  Furthermore, the local information is information that is desired to be localized / retained from a location where the first transmitting mobile terminal currently exists, and is related to text information related to the route, general music data and video. A local information propagation / localization method characterized by adding arbitrary route information of the first transmitting mobile terminal in addition to data. Here, the route information means not only the route from the current location to the destination but also a part or an arbitrary route.

  Further, when a mobile terminal propagates local information, it broadcasts the local information to other mobile terminals that exist in the vicinity only when the mobile terminal exists on an arbitrary path added to the local information. Local information propagation / localization method characterized by propagating local information only to mobile terminals.

  Furthermore, the local information propagation / localization method characterized in that the local information is localized on the route by holding the local information only when the mobile terminal is on an arbitrary route added to the local information.

  Furthermore, when the mobile terminal deviates from an arbitrary route added to the local information, the local information is localized only on the route by discarding the local information.

A specific example of the above local information propagation / localization method is shown below.
For example, ambulance is a local information sender, and ambulance approach information is local information. The ambulance adds the traveling route information that the ambulance is scheduled to pass to the ambulance approach information and broadcasts it to a plurality of ordinary vehicles in the vicinity. A regular vehicle also broadcasts its ambulance approach information, which causes the ambulance approach information to propagate further.
First, when a general vehicle broadcasts ambulance approach information, the ambulance travel route information added to the ambulance access information is referred to and it is confirmed whether the vehicle is on the ambulance travel route. At this time, (1) if the own vehicle is on the traveling path of the ambulance, the ambulance approach information is immediately broadcast and the ambulance approach information is transferred to surrounding vehicles. However, (2) Ambulance approach information is not broadcasted unless the own vehicle is on the traveling path of the ambulance. By repeating (1) and (2), ambulance approach information can be localized on the ambulance route by a plurality of general vehicles. Thereby, not only the nearest intersection of the ambulance but also the general vehicles located at all the intersections in the progress of the ambulance can be warned of the approach of the ambulance, and the ambulance can proceed smoothly. In addition, ordinary vehicles do not need to belong to the same network on the travel route, and only need to hold and broadcast ambulance approach information received from ordinary vehicles for a certain period of time. As a result, the ambulance approach information localized on the traveling route can be notified to a general vehicle that has newly arrived on the route. In addition, since information is propagated only on the route of the ambulance, it is possible to suppress network congestion due to notification or redundant broadcasting to an area away from the route.

  That is, the distribution system according to the first embodiment is a means for propagating and localizing local information to mobile terminals scattered on an arbitrary route for a certain period of time using communication of only the mobile terminal without providing a specific server. I will provide a. This eliminates the need to send and store suddenly generated information such as emergency vehicle approach information and local traffic jam information to the server. For this reason, not only the server installation cost is reduced, but also network congestion due to server access need not be considered. Here, local information is generally information closely related to a certain region or route, but may be text, music, or video data that is unrelated to the region.

That is, the distribution system of the first embodiment has the following features, for example.
(1) Local information can be efficiently propagated on a route.
(2) Local information can be localized on the route.
(3) Since local information is localized and propagated only on the route, network congestion outside the route can be suppressed.

The following features have also been described in the first embodiment.
By setting the local information Local1 and the route information Local1B indicating the delivery destination area together with the data body Local1A to be delivered, the data body Local1A can be delivered to the mobile terminals located in the delivery destination area. In addition, communication of the data body Local1A outside the distribution destination area can be suppressed.
Moreover, even if the mobile terminal CAR1 moves, the mobile terminal CAR1 measures the position at every transmission interval that is conditional on time, distance, etc., and updates the distribution destination area according to the measured self-position. The local information Local1 can be transmitted by designating an area (relative area with respect to the mobile terminal CAR1) at any time.
In addition, when it is desired to designate a plurality of locations as delivery destination areas, even if the mobile terminal is not located in any delivery destination area by setting an area including the plurality of delivery destination areas as the discard restriction condition Local1D. Local information Local1 can be held. Then, by holding the local information Local1, the data body Local1A can be distributed in any distribution destination area. Also, the local information Local1 can be discarded by the mobile terminal outside the area indicated by the discard constraint condition Local1D.
