Next, the priority seat user support server 11 initializes a counter i, which is a variable indicating the priority seat number, with 1 (S35). Note that the variable i is an integer of 1 to n.
Next, the priority seat user support server 11 initializes the shortest priority seat specification work table 60 (S36). That is, the data items “travel distance within boarding station”, “travel distance within disembarkation station”, and “total travel distance” of the shortest priority seat identification work table 60 are initialized to zero.

  Next, the priority seat user support server 11 acquires a data table corresponding to the train ID specified from the priority seat position information DB 14 for each train. From the data table, the corresponding record is extracted using “station ID of boarding information” acquired from the purchase data 40 as a key, and “priority seat 1 position information”,. "Position information" (= "Priority seat i (i = 1 to n) position information") is acquired (S37).

  Next, the priority seat user support server 11 calculates the travel distance using the priority seat i position information YP and the ticketing machine position information HP, and sets the travel distance as the travel distance K1 in the boarding station (S38). ). Here, the travel distance K1 in the boarding station is the shortest distance between the priority seat i position information YP and the ticketing machine position information HP. However, this shortest distance may be a straight line distance. The shortest distance based on the passage on the station premises map based on the information DB 16 may be used.

  Next, the priority seat user support server 11 sets “i” in the data item “priority seat n” of the shortest priority seat identification work table 60, and sets “i.e. travel within boarding station” as the data item “travel distance within boarding station”. A distance K1 "is set (S39). Then, the priority seat user support server 11 increments i (S40).

  The priority seat user support server 11 repeats S37 to S40 until all the priority seat position information of the corresponding record is processed (S41). That is, S37 to S40 are repeated while i ≦ n.

  When i> n, the priority seat user support server 11 reads the data item “Exit ID for getting off information” from the purchase data 40 (S42), and the exit ID exists in the data item “Exit ID for getting off information”. It is determined whether or not (S43). If it is determined in S43 that the exit ID does not exist (the process proceeds to “No” in S43), the process proceeds to S51.

  If it is determined in S43 that there is an exit ID (proceed to "Yes" in S43), the priority seat user support server 11 corresponds to the "station ID of the getting-off information" in the purchase data 40 from the exit information DB 13 for each station. Get the data table. From the data table, the corresponding record is extracted by using the “exit ID of the getting-off information” acquired from the purchase data 40 as a key, and the position information corresponding to the exit ID is acquired and set as the exit position information DP (S44). ). Again, the priority seat user support server 11 initializes the counter i with 1 (S45).

  Next, the priority seat user support server 11 acquires a data table corresponding to the train ID specified from the priority seat position information DB 14 for each train. From the data table, the corresponding record is extracted using the “station ID of the getting-off information” acquired from the purchase data 40 as a key, and “priority seat 1 position information”,. "Position information" (= "Priority seat i (i = 1 to n) position information") is acquired (S46).

  Next, the priority seat user support server 11 calculates the travel distance using the priority seat i position information YP and the exit position information DP, and sets the travel distance as the travel distance K2 in the alighting station (S47). . Here, the moving distance K2 within the alighting station is the shortest distance between the priority seat i position information YP and the exit position information DP, but this shortest distance may be a straight line distance. The shortest distance based on the passage on the station premises map based on DB16 may be used.

  Next, the priority seat user support server 11 associates “n” of the first item “priority seat n” of the shortest priority seat specification work table 60 with “i” of the acquired “priority seat i position information”. Then, “moving distance within the getting-off station K2” is set in the third item “moving distance within the getting-off station” corresponding to the first item “priority seat n” with “n = i” (S48). Then, the priority seat user support server 11 increments i (S49).

  The priority seat user support server 11 repeats S46 to S49 until all the priority seat position information of the corresponding record is processed (S50). That is, S46 to S49 are repeated while i ≦ n.

  When i> n, or when it is determined in S43 that there is no exit ID (the process proceeds to “No” in S43), the priority seat user support server 11 sets each record in the shortest priority seat specification work table 60 for each record. The second item “travel distance within boarding station” (K1) and the third item “travel distance within disembarkation station” (K2) are added together and set to the fourth item “total travel distance” (= K1 + K2) (S51). .

The priority seat user support server 11 reads all the records of the shortest priority seat identification work table 60, extracts the first item “priority seat n” that is the smallest of the fourth item “total travel distance”, (S52).

  The priority seat user support server 11 refers to the priority seat position information DB 14 by train using the station ID of the boarding information acquired from the purchase data 40 as a key, and acquires the priority seat n position information of the record corresponding to the shortest priority seat. The shortest priority seat position information is used (S53).

  The priority seat user support server 11 acquires map information about the boarding station from the station premises map information DB 16, the shortest priority seat n position information YP, the ticketing machine position information HP, and the travel route between the two points, Is overwritten on the fourth item “map information” of the priority seat desired ticketing data 50, and the shortest priority seat position information (created in S53) is set to the fifth item “priority seat position information” (S54).
