As described above, the pedestrian information includes identification information 51, attribute information 52, operation information 53, emergency information 54, and position information 56.

  In the case shown in FIG. 7, since there is a vehicle equipped with the in-vehicle device 3 within the direct communication range by the mobile terminal 1, the pedestrian information transmitted from the mobile terminal 1 is received by the in-vehicle device 3. When the pedestrian information transmitted from the portable terminal 1 is received, a guidance confirmation screen is displayed on the in-vehicle device 3 based on the content of the pedestrian information (ST703).

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a guidance confirmation screen displayed on the in-vehicle device 3. As shown in FIG. 9, on the guidance confirmation screen 90, the vehicle position 92 is displayed on the map information 91, and the pedestrian position 93 that has received the pedestrian information is displayed. In addition, a message box 94 including a message for confirming whether navigation (guidance) is permitted to the pedestrian position 93 is displayed, and response buttons 95A and 95B for receiving the response are displayed. The message box 94 displays pedestrian position information 56 and attribute information 52 thereof.

  Here, after such a guidance confirmation screen 90 is displayed, a guidance start instruction is received from the driver of the vehicle (response button 95A is selected). When an instruction to start guidance is received, guidance to pedestrian position 93 is started in in-vehicle device 3 (ST704). Then, a direct notification signal is sent to server device 4 for notifying that it is going straight to the location of the pedestrian who has encountered an emergency (ST705). The reason why the direct notification signal is transmitted to the server device 4 in this way is to avoid a situation where a plurality of vehicles go straight to the place of the pedestrian and are confused.

  On the other hand, when the pedestrian information transmitted from the portable terminal 1 is received, this pedestrian information is registered in the pedestrian information DB 43 in the server device 4 (ST706). Thereby, No. 5 pedestrian information shown in FIG. 5 is registered. When pedestrian information including emergency information 54 indicating the occurrence of such an emergency is registered, the server device 4 searches for vehicles located around the pedestrian (ST707). Such a vehicle search is performed based on the position information 63 of the vehicle information DB 44.

  When the vehicle is searched, as shown in FIG. 8, a direct instruction signal instructing to go straight to the location of the pedestrian is transmitted to the in-vehicle device 3 of the vehicle. However, FIG. 7 shows a case where a direct notification signal is received from the in-vehicle device 3 around the mobile terminal 1 before the vehicle is searched. In this case, in server device 4, transmission of the direct notification signal is interrupted, and pedestrian information DB 43 and vehicle information DB 44 of the direct notification signal are registered (ST708). In this case, the direct notification information 55 of No. 5 shown in FIG. 5 is changed from “Not” to “Done”, and the direct notification information 64 shown in FIG. 6 corresponding to the in-vehicle device 3 that has transmitted the direct notification signal. Is changed from “No” to “Yes”.

  After transmitting pedestrian information to the in-vehicle device 3 and the server device 4 in this way, the latest position information is acquired again in the GPS device 15 in the mobile terminal 1 (ST709). And the pedestrian information containing the acquired newest positional information is transmitted with respect to the vehicle-mounted apparatus 3 located in the range which can communicate directly from the portable terminal 1 similarly to the case of previous ST702, and a server apparatus. 4 is transmitted to ST4 (ST710). Thus, while transmitting the pedestrian information including the position information recorded immediately before in ST702 and transmitting the pedestrian information including the latest position information in ST710, the time required to acquire the latest position information This is to avoid the increase of pedestrian damage.

  In the in-vehicle device 3 that has received the pedestrian information including the latest position information, the destination is corrected as necessary (ST711), and the guidance to the pedestrian position 93 is continued. On the other hand, in the server device 4, this pedestrian information is registered again in the pedestrian information DB 43 (ST712). Then, according to the guidance, the vehicle is guided to the pedestrian position 93.

  In this case, the vehicle located in the range where the portable terminal 1 of the pedestrian who has encountered an emergency can communicate directly goes directly to the place of the pedestrian. And the driver | operator of the said vehicle can cope with the emergency which generate | occur | produced the said pedestrian quickly and effectively by removing the danger etc. which the said pedestrian has encountered.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when there is no vehicle equipped with the in-vehicle device 3 within the direct communication range of the mobile terminal 1, when a ringing instruction is detected in the mobile terminal 1 (ST801), the mobile terminal 1 Therefore, the pedestrian information is not transmitted to the in-vehicle device 3, and the pedestrian information is transmitted to the server device 4 (ST802). In this case, as in the case shown in FIG. 7, pedestrian information including the position information recorded immediately before is transmitted from the mobile terminal 1. Here, pedestrian information corresponding to No. 5 shown in FIG.

  When the pedestrian information transmitted from the portable terminal 1 is received, this pedestrian information is registered in the pedestrian information DB 43 in the server device 4 (ST803). Thereby, No. 5 pedestrian information shown in FIG. 5 is registered. When pedestrian information including emergency information 54 indicating the occurrence of such an emergency situation is registered, the server device 4 searches for vehicles located around the pedestrian (ST804). Such a vehicle search is performed based on the position information 63 of the vehicle information DB 44.

  When the corresponding vehicle is searched, a direct instruction signal instructing to go straight to the location of the pedestrian is transmitted from server device 4 to in-vehicle device 3 of the vehicle (ST805). The direct instruction signal is included in the pedestrian information received from the portable terminal 1. That is, the direct instruction signal includes identification information 51, attribute information 52, operation information 53, emergency information 54, and position information 56 corresponding to a pedestrian who has encountered an emergency.

  When the direct instruction signal transmitted from server apparatus 4 is received, guidance confirmation screen is displayed based on the content of this direct instruction signal in in-vehicle apparatus 3 (ST806). In this case, a guidance confirmation screen 90 similar to that shown in FIG. Here, after such a guidance confirmation screen 90 is displayed, a guidance start instruction is received from the driver of the vehicle (response button 95A is selected). When an instruction to start guidance is received, in-vehicle device 3 starts guidance to pedestrian position 93 (ST807) and transmits a direct notification signal to server device 4 (ST808).

  When the direct notification signal is received from the in-vehicle device 3, the server device 4 registers the pedestrian information DB 43 and the vehicle information DB 44 of the direct notification signal (ST809). In this case, the direct notification information 55 of No. 5 shown in FIG. 5 is changed from “Not” to “Done”, and the direct notification information 64 shown in FIG. 6 corresponding to the in-vehicle device 3 that has transmitted the direct notification signal. Is changed from “No” to “Yes”. Until a direct notification signal is received from the in-vehicle device 3, a process of searching for a vehicle located around the pedestrian based on the position information 63 of the vehicle information DB 44 and transmitting a direct instruction signal is repeated.

  After transmitting the pedestrian information to the server device 4 in this way, the latest position information is acquired again in the GPS device 15 in the mobile terminal 1 (ST810). And the acquired pedestrian information including the newest position information is transmitted with respect to the server apparatus 4 similarly to the case of previous ST802 (ST811). Thus, the pedestrian information including the position information recorded immediately before in ST802 is transmitted, and the pedestrian information including the latest position information is transmitted in ST811, as in the case shown in FIG. This is intended to avoid the spread of pedestrian damage during the time required to acquire the location information.

  In the server device 4 that has received the pedestrian information including the latest position information, this pedestrian information is registered again in the pedestrian information DB 43 (ST812). Then, the direct instruction signal reflecting the latest position information is transmitted again to the in-vehicle device 3 (ST813). In the in-vehicle device 3 that has received this direct instruction signal, the destination is corrected as necessary (ST814), and the guidance to the pedestrian position 93 is continued. Then, according to the guidance, the vehicle is guided to the pedestrian position 93.

  In this case, the vehicle located in the range where direct communication with the portable terminal 1 cannot be performed goes straight to the location of the pedestrian who is encountering an emergency.
