Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus, a system, and the like for preventing misplacement during the movement of a portable item that may or may not be carried depending on the current weather condition or a predicted future weather condition such as rain gear, for example. Regarding the method.

  Rain gear, especially umbrellas, are often left behind. For example, even if it is not raining when you go out, if you have a high probability of precipitation when you go home on the TV or radio weather forecast, or if the probability of precipitation is high when you go out, take an umbrella just in case. May go out. However, when moving in an automobile or the like, it may happen that the umbrella is left in the automobile because it was not raining when it got off, even though the umbrella was taken out. In this case, since the umbrella is in the car, it will eventually have to be wet before returning to the car.

  Therefore, in Patent Document 1 described later, when getting off the vehicle, the necessity of the umbrella is determined based on the information on the probability of precipitation, and when it is determined that the umbrella is necessary, the vehicle is urged to carry the umbrella. An invention of an alarm device is disclosed. Specifically, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, when the vehicle arrives at the destination, the in-vehicle device mounted on the automobile acquires the precipitation probability at the current position from the center. Based on the acquired precipitation probability, even if it is not raining when getting off, if it is determined that an umbrella is necessary, a notification operation is performed to urge the user to carry the umbrella.

  According to the invention described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to prevent a user from getting left in the rain as much as possible by preventing the user from forgetting to place an umbrella prepared in the car when going out in the car. .

JP 2005-345293 A

  However, forgetting to place rain gear, especially umbrellas, occurs frequently in so-called public transportation such as trains, buses, and taxis. Public transport has many users (passengers and passengers) and does not need an umbrella while riding, so forgetting to place the umbrella often occurs. In particular, in the case of trains, buses, etc., there is no limit to the number of times you can get off, so it's common for people to get off the hurry and forget to leave their umbrellas.

  And even if you notice that you have left your umbrella, there are many cases where trains, buses, taxis, etc. that you left your umbrella have already run away. In such a case, unlike when you forget your umbrella in your car, it takes time to get your umbrella back, and in the worst case, it may be lost. Eventually, it becomes necessary to take measures such as purchasing a new umbrella or picking up an umbrella, and there are many cases where both money and time are lost.

  Also, when commuting to work or school, there are many cases of changing trains or transferring trains or buses. Thus, the more opportunities to get on and off public transportation, the higher the chance that an umbrella will be left behind. Also, it is not raining when going out, but it is highly likely that it will rain when going home, so if you go out with an umbrella just in case, it will not rain when you go out, so you will forget to leave the umbrella Is more likely to do. And, when it is not raining when returning home, the chance of forgetting to place the umbrella further increases.

  It is not limited to umbrellas to leave behind. For example, parasols and hats are often carried during the fine weather from early summer to summer when ultraviolet rays become strong, and there are cases where these are left behind in trains, buses, taxis and the like. Also, if the temperature drops significantly in winter, it is snowing, or there is a possibility that it will snow, you may carry a warming device such as a muffler, gloves, coat, etc. If you leave it on a bus, taxi, etc.

  As described above, there are cases in which a portable item that is not normally carried is carried depending on the current weather condition when going out, the predicted weather condition of the destination, the predicted weather condition when returning home, and the like. It is well known from experience that a portable item that is not normally carried is more likely to be left behind than a portable item such as a bag that is always carried.

  In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to effectively prevent misplacement of a portable item when it is considered that the target portable item is carried.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the portable article warning system according to the invention described in claim 1 is:
A portable product warning system formed by connecting an information providing server and a mobile communication terminal through a network,
The information providing server includes:
First accepting means for accepting information on a travel route from the mobile communication terminal;

Second accepting means for accepting a current position of the mobile communication terminal;
When it is predicted that it is necessary to carry the predetermined portable item, the portable communication terminal is located at a position where the predetermined transportation is exited on the movement route based on the received current position of the portable communication terminal. Detecting means for detecting approaching or reaching;
A warning that provides the mobile communication terminal with information for performing a misplacement warning for the predetermined portable item when it is detected that the portable communication terminal has approached or arrived at a position where the predetermined transportation facility is exited. Information providing means, and
The mobile communication terminal is
Providing means for providing information relating to the travel route to the information providing server;
Current position providing means for acquiring the current position of the own device and providing the information providing server;
Warning information receiving means for receiving information for performing a misplacement warning of the predetermined portable item provided from the information providing server;
And a warning means for outputting a message corresponding to information for performing a warning of leaving the predetermined portable item.

  According to the portable article warning system of the first aspect of the present invention, in the information providing server, the information relating to the movement route from the portable communication terminal is received by the first receiving unit. And the necessity of carrying a predetermined portable article in the case of moving the movement route specified based on the information about the movement route is predicted by the prediction means. In this case, there is a necessity for carrying a predetermined portable item based on the weather information of the place at the time when the portable communication terminal is located or the time at which the portable communication terminal is considered to be located at the place on the specified moving route. is expected.

  Then, the current position of the mobile communication terminal is received through the second receiving means. The received current position of the mobile communication terminal is used by the detecting means when it is predicted that the predetermined portable item needs to be carried, and the mobile communication terminal is located at a position where the predetermined transportation facility is exited on the moving route. Is detected as approaching or reaching. When it is detected by the detection means that the mobile communication terminal has approached or arrived at a position where the predetermined transportation facility is exited on the moving route, the warning information providing means provides a warning for leaving a predetermined portable item. Information is provided to the mobile communication terminal.

  On the other hand, in the mobile communication terminal, information on the travel route is provided to the information providing server through the providing means, and the current position of the own device is provided to the information providing server through the current position providing means. Then, when information for performing a predetermined portable item misplacement warning is received from the information providing server through the warning information receiving unit, a message corresponding to the information for performing the predetermined portable item misplacement warning by the warning unit Is output.

  In this way, when a user of a mobile communication terminal can predict that a predetermined portable item that is not normally carried but needs to be carried depending on weather conditions, the predetermined portable item is passed through the portable communication terminal. You will be able to perform a misplacement warning. Thus, it is possible to effectively prevent the predetermined portable item from being left behind (portable item forgotten).

  According to this invention, when it is thought that the predetermined portable article is carried (predicted), the misplacement of the portable article can be effectively prevented.

  Note that the functions of the route search processing unit 303, the mobile prediction unit 304, the navigation and misplacement warning processing unit 305 indicated by double lines in FIG. 3 are functions of the control unit 320 according to a program executed by the control unit 320. It can also be realized as.

  In the route search weather information providing server 3 according to the first embodiment, the route search processing unit 303, the portable prediction unit 304, the navigation and misplacement warning processing unit 305 mainly realize the important functions. For the main part. First, before describing the main part, the configuration of the peripheral part will be described.

  The control unit 320 controls each unit of the route search weather information providing server 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 320 is a microcomputer configured by connecting a CPU 321, a ROM 322, a RAM 323, and an EEPROM 324 through a CPU bus 325. is there. The CPU 321 reads out and executes a program stored in the ROM 322 or the EEPROM 324, forms a control signal to each part, supplies it to each related part, or receives data from each part and processes it. To do. As described above, the ROM 322 stores various processing programs executed by the CPU 321 and data necessary for processing in advance.

  The RAM 323 is mainly used as a work area in various processes such as temporarily storing intermediate results of the processes. The EEPROM 324 is a rewritable so-called nonvolatile memory, and stores and holds data that should be held even when the power is turned off. Specifically, the EEPROM 324 stores and holds various information such as a new program for adding functions, various setting parameters, and the like, for example, an IP address assigned to the own device.

  The user-specific route information file 311 stores and holds the route information transmitted through the mobile phone terminal 1 for each user in order to receive the transfer guidance service. In the route information file 311 for each user, each of a start position (departure point), a transit point, and a goal position (destination) is specified as information that can specify the route followed by the user who intends to use the transfer guidance service. It consists of the information to show and the position information of each.

  In the first embodiment, the transfer guidance service can be provided through the route search weather information providing server 3 only when it is registered as a member with the route search weather information providing server 3. It is also possible. In this case, the route search weather information providing server 3 may be provided with a member database that records and holds member information, and the mobile phone terminal 1 that has accessed the route search weather information providing server 3 may be authenticated. .

  In this example, the route information is managed for each user. In this example, the mobile phone terminal 1 and the user have a one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the phrase “by user” is equivalent to the phrase “by mobile phone terminal”. Therefore, in the following description, it is assumed that each user can be distinguished based on the identification information of the mobile phone terminal 1 unless otherwise distinguished.

The map DB 312 accurately represents the position, width, size, etc. of roads, buildings, seas, mountains, rivers, etc., and can be used for detailed map information, route maps of various transportation facilities, It consists of information such as timetables and fee schedules for various transportation facilities. In recent years, for example, map information prepared in a server device that provides a route search service has been refined. Based on the map information, it is possible to distinguish the walking section that is hardly affected by weather such as so-called arcades and underground malls from the walking section that is affected by weather because it is completely outdoor. . As described above, the map DB 312 is refined and maintained so that a route search can be performed and a navigation service can be provided based on the current position of the user.

  As described above, the weather information DB 313 stores and holds prediction information about each weather information for each predetermined area and each weather information indicating the current weather state. The route search weather information providing server 3 according to the first embodiment receives, for example, the above-mentioned various weather information from a predetermined weather company through the network 4 at a predetermined timing, and stores this in the weather information DB 313. I try to keep it.

  Although not shown in FIG. 3, the route search weather information providing server 3 includes a clock circuit realized as an RTC (Real Time Clock), and accurately grasps the current date, current day, and current time. It has also been made possible.

[Operation of main part]
The route search request transmitted through the network 4 is received through the connection terminal 301 and the communication I / F 302 and is supplied to the control unit 320. In this case, the control unit 320 controls the route search processing unit 303 to perform route search processing. When the route search processing unit 303 receives a route search request from the mobile phone terminal 1, the route search processing unit 303 refers to information in the map DB 312 based on information such as a start position and a goal position included in the route search request. The above route information is acquired. The one or more pieces of route information (route candidate information that the user follows) acquired here are transmitted to the network 4 through the communication I / F 302 and the connection terminal 301 and transmitted to the requesting mobile phone terminal 1.

  Then, the route search weather information providing server 3 according to the first embodiment predicts the necessity of carrying a predetermined portable item, such as an umbrella in this example by the function of the portable prediction unit 304 (in this example, And the user can be notified of this. That is, when the mobile prediction unit 304 receives a route search request or a transfer guidance execution request, a location that is outdoors on the route specified by the provided route information or the like (a location where the user is affected by the weather) And predicting (determining) the necessity of carrying rain gear based on the current and future weather information of the place.

  Specifically, the mobile prediction unit 304 refers to the information in the map DB 312 based on the route information obtained by the search, the route information transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 1, and the like on the route specified by the route information or the like. , Identify a place to be outdoors. Here, the outdoor location is a location that is specified as a location where the user is affected by wind and rain (affected by the weather) in the map DB 312, and the location where the user mainly moves on foot (section) ). Therefore, in this specification, the term “outdoor” mainly means a place without a roof, and is known in the map DB 312 as a place where wind and rain can be overcome (subject to almost no influence of weather). Arcade and underground malls are not included outdoors.

  Then, the mobile prediction unit 304 obtains current and future weather information of the specified outdoor location by referring to the information in the weather information DB, and in the case of a predetermined mobile product, this first embodiment Predicts (determines) whether it is necessary to carry rain gear such as an umbrella. The result of this prediction (discrimination) is notified together with the route search result, or is notified at the start of the transfer guidance process. In addition, when it is determined that it is necessary to carry rain gear such as an umbrella, a warning for leaving the rain gear is also given.

  Then, when the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 follows the route specified by the route information transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 1, the portion that performs navigation (direction guidance) or transfer guidance to the user is the navigation and A misplacement warning processing unit 305. The route information transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 1 together with the request for starting the transfer guidance is stored in the route information file 311 for each user. Then, information indicating the current position of the mobile phone terminal 1 that is requested to provide the transfer guidance service is transmitted to the route search weather information providing server 3 at a predetermined timing together with the identification information of the mobile phone terminal 1. come.

  In the route search weather information providing server 3, the route followed by the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 is grasped from the route information of the mobile phone terminal 1 in the user-specific route information file as described above. Therefore, the navigation and misplacement warning processing unit 305 accurately grasps the current position of the mobile phone terminal 1 on the route specified by the route information from information indicating the current position from the mobile phone terminal 1. The navigation and misplacement warning processing unit 305 adds the current position of the mobile phone terminal 1 on the route and the map information in the map DB 312 to grasp the current position of the user on the map.

  The navigation and misplacement warning processing unit 305 performs navigation (road guidance) for the walking section according to the current position on the map of the user. Furthermore, when the user is using a transportation facility, transfer guidance is provided at a predetermined timing before reaching the transfer position. Further, when it is predicted (determined) that the user needs to carry a predetermined portable item, such as an umbrella, in this example, the user is encouraged to carry the rain item when going out, and A warning to prevent misplacement of rain gear is also given at the position of getting off (transfer position or getting off position).

  As described above, in the portable product warning system according to the first embodiment, the mobile phone terminal 1 and the route search weather information providing server 3 cooperate to realize navigation and transfer guidance processing. In addition to simple navigation and transfer guidance, the need to carry rain gear such as umbrellas is predicted, and if necessary, the user is encouraged to carry rain gear, or the user moves by means of transportation. If you are, you can give a warning to prevent you from leaving the rain gear that you should carry.

  In this specification, navigation means mainly performing road guidance in a walking section, and transfer guidance mainly refers to getting off positions (getting off stations) when using transportation. Means.

[Process when receiving the transfer guidance service]
Next, the process at the time of the transfer guidance service performed in the portable goods warning system of this 1st Embodiment is demonstrated concretely. As described above, the transfer guidance service is realized by the cooperation of the mobile phone terminal 1 and the route search weather information providing server 3, and is provided to the user through the mobile phone terminal 1. .

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an initial screen when the transfer guidance service displayed on the display unit 113 of the mobile phone terminal 1 is executed. In the cellular phone terminal 1 of the first embodiment, when an item corresponding to the “transfer guidance service” is selected and executed from executable applications registered in a predetermined menu, The initial screen of the transfer guidance service shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113 as the display control unit 112 is controlled by the control of the control unit 160.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the first embodiment, the transfer guidance service is provided with a route search mode, a leaving office mode, a return home mode, and a route setting mode, and selections corresponding to them. The displayed item displays M1 to M4 are displayed. Here, the route search mode is a mode mainly used when going to an unguided place. Specifically, the route search mode performs route search, obtains one or more route information from the start position to the goal position, and executes navigation and transfer guidance according to the route information selected from the route information. .

  Further, in the office mode, the transfer guidance is executed when the company enters the office (moves from home to the company) according to a predetermined route. In the return mode, the transfer guidance is executed when returning home (moving from the office to the home) according to a predetermined route. The route setting mode is for setting route registration information used in the office mode or the return home mode in advance for the mobile phone terminal 1.

  In the transfer guidance initial screen shown in FIG. 4, the “OK” icon shown on the left side of the lower end executes a mode selected from the route search mode, the office mode, the return home mode, and the route setting mode. It is an icon to do. The “end” icon shown on the lower right side of the initial screen is for returning to the menu without executing the transfer guidance service.

[Process in route search mode]
Then, on the initial screen of the transfer guidance service shown in FIG. 4, when the cursor is positioned on the item M1 corresponding to the route search mode and the “OK” icon is selected, the route search mode is executed. The In this case, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 forms a request for providing an information input screen for route search, and transmits this request to the route search weather information providing server 3 determined in advance on the network 4.

  The route search weather information providing server 3 transmits an input screen for a predetermined search condition to the mobile phone terminal 1 that has transmitted a request for providing an information input screen for route search. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a search condition input screen when a route search provided by the route search weather information providing server 3 is performed. The search condition input screen of this example has a start position (departure point) input field, a goal position (destination) input field, a reference date and time input field, and a selection field for distinguishing between departure, arrival, and last train. It is.

  When the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 receives the search condition input screen from the route search weather information providing server 3 through the transmission / reception antenna 101 and the transmission / reception processing unit 102, the control unit 160 displays the display screen of the display unit 113 through the display control unit 112. To display. Thereby, the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 can input information to each input item on the search condition input screen displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113 through the key operation unit 111. Is done.

  Then, the user inputs necessary information through the key operation unit 111 on the displayed search condition input screen. Specifically, in the input field for the start position and goal position, the address of those positions, the name of a building or the like standing at those positions (so-called landmark name), and the like are input. It should be noted that the information input in the start position and goal position input fields is transmitted to the route search weather information providing server 3 to check whether or not the information actually exists. The route search weather information providing server 3 has detailed map information as described above, and when an address or landmark name that does not exist in the map information is input, the corresponding data does not exist. The user can be prompted to input a real address or landmark name.

  Although not described in detail here, for example, it is possible to use a mode for inputting a start position and a goal position on a map image based on provided map data. In this case, the map image data of the target area is received from the route search weather information providing server 3 and a map image based on the map image data is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113. Then, the start position and the goal position can be input on the displayed map image.

  Further, in the input field for the reference date and time, date and time information to be used as departure date and arrival date and time is input. In the input field for distinguishing between departure, arrival, and last train, whether the reference date / time is the departure date / time, the arrival date / time, or a route that uses the last train without using the reference date / time is searched. select. In this case, the target item can be selected by moving the cursor to a circle (so-called radio button) in front of the target item and performing a predetermined determination input operation. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 5, a case where the input reference date / time is selected to be used as the departure date / time is shown.

  When a route search is performed according to the input search condition, the “search” icon on the lower left side of the screen is selected. Further, when the route search function is terminated without performing a search, an “end” icon on the right side of the lower end of the screen is selected. The selection of these icons can be determined by selecting one of the icons using an arrow key of the key operation unit 111 and pressing a predetermined determination key, for example.

  In the case of the example shown in FIG. 5, the start position is “Omiya-ku ○-○, Saitama City”, the goal position is “Kudan XX Building”, and the reference date is “August 1, 7:30 am In this case, the reference date and time is selected as the departure date and time. Thereafter, it is assumed that the “search” icon on the lower left side of the screen is selected. In this case, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 forms a route search request including the search condition input on the search condition input screen, and transmits it to the route search weather information providing server 3.

  When the route search weather information providing server 3 receives the route search request, the route search processing unit 303 is requested using the map information, route map, timetable, ferry table, etc. recorded and held in the map DB 312. The route from the start position to the goal position is searched. The route search processing unit 303 obtains one or more route information (route search result) and transmits it to the requesting mobile phone terminal 1.

  The route search weather information providing server 3 of the first embodiment does not simply provide route information. As described above, the route search weather information providing server 3 uses the route information obtained as a result of the route search, the information in the map DB 312, and the information in the weather information DB 313, so that the mobile prediction unit 304 can detect rain gear such as an umbrella. The necessity of carrying is predicted (discriminated), and when it is predicted that it is necessary to carry, a message for encouraging carrying of rain gear is included in the route information and transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 1 as the search request source.

  When receiving the route information as a result of the route search, the control unit 160 of the requesting mobile phone terminal 1 temporarily stores the route information in the RAM 163 and cooperates with the display control unit 112 to determine the contents of the route information. Is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a display example of the contents of route information obtained by route search.

  In the case of the example shown in FIG. 6, a header information column 51 for route information to be displayed is provided below the title column indicating that the display is a display of a route search result. In the header information column, “candidate 1”, “660 yen”, “1 hour 0 minutes”, “one transfer”, “please bring an umbrella” are displayed. In the header information column 51, “candidate 1” indicates that the information is the first route information among a plurality of route information obtained by route search. “660 yen” indicates the fare for the route. In addition, “1 hour 0 minutes” indicates the transit time of the transportation facility on the route, and “one transfer” indicates the number of transits of the transportation facility on the route.

  And the display of “Please bring your umbrella” displayed as the message display 51a at the bottom of the header information column 51, as described above, of the mobile prediction unit 304 of the route search weather information providing server 3 It is in accordance with the result of predicting the necessity of carrying rain gear such as umbrellas by function. That is, on the route according to the route information of “candidate 1”, at the time when the user with the mobile phone terminal 1 is located or at the time when the user with the mobile phone terminal 1 is located at a location that is outdoors (location affected by weather) The message display 51a is a display of the result of predicting the necessity of carrying rain gear based on the weather information.

  Below the header information column 51 composed of such information, information display columns 52A, 52B, 52C, and 52D related to the movement section for each moving means are displayed. First, in the display column 52A, the section from the start position to Omiya Station (Saitama) is a section that moves on foot. The walking mark Mk1 at the upper left corner of the display field 52A indicates that the section is a walking section. Moreover, it is shown that the movement time of the said section is 12 minutes from 7:30 am to 7:42 am. That is, the start position departs at 7:30 am, and at 7:42 am, it is indicated that the section should arrive at a predetermined platform at Omiya Station.

  The display column 52B below the display column 52A indicates that the section from Omiya station to Shinjuku station is a section that moves by train. The train mark Mk2 at the upper left corner of the display field 52B indicates that the section is a moving section on a train. It also shows that the JR Shonan Shinjuku line is used in the section, the travel time of the section is 31 minutes from 7:42 am to 8:13 am, and the fare is 450 yen. .

  Then, when a predetermined operation for scrolling the display is performed on the mobile phone terminal 1, the lower display of the header information column 51 is scrolled as shown by the dotted arrow in FIG. Display columns 52C and 52D are displayed instead of the columns 52A and 53B.

  The display column 52C indicates that the section from Shinjuku Station to Kudanshita Station is a section that travels by train. The train mark Mk3 at the upper left corner of the display field 52C indicates that the section is a moving section on a train. In addition, it also shows that the Toei Shinjuku Line (subway) is used in the section, the travel time of the section is 8 minutes from 8:22 am to 8:30 am, and the fare is 210 yen ing.

  And in the display column 52D, it has shown that it is the area which moves on foot from Kudanshita Station to a goal position. The walking mark Mk4 at the upper left corner of the display field 52D indicates that the section is a walking section. It also shows that the travel time of the section is 9 minutes from 8:30 am to 8:39 am.

  If a plurality of route candidates exist as a result of the route search, for example, the cursor is placed on the “candidate 1” display in the header information column 51 and the arrow key of the key operation unit 111 is pressed. By performing a predetermined operation, it is possible to switch to a display corresponding to other route information.

  In this way, the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 can use the route search function of the route search weather information providing server 3 to perform a route search from the target start position to the goal position and obtain the result. Be made possible. Then, the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 can refer to the route search result, obtain the route information from the start position to the goal position, and meet the purpose of his / her purpose, and can follow the route. The

  That is, an operation in which the user selects route information of the most preferable route from a plurality of route information obtained as a result of route search, and selects a “navigation” icon At1 provided in the title column on the upper end side of the display screen. Suppose that In this case, the cellular phone terminal 1 forms a navigation start request for performing navigation according to the selected route information, and transmits this request to the route search weather information providing server 3. In this case, the request includes identification information of the mobile phone terminal 1, route information selected by the user, information indicating the current position of the mobile phone terminal 1, and the like.

  Then, the mobile phone terminal 1 transmits its own identification information and information indicating its current position to the route search weather information providing server 3 at every predetermined timing. The information indicating the current position is obtained based on the information indicating the current position of the own machine from the position management server 2 and the information indicating the current position of the own machine acquired through the GPS unit 131. In addition, when the user who has the mobile phone terminal 1 is moving on the subway or moving in the underground shopping street, the current position cannot be measured by the GPS function. Information indicating the current position is transmitted to the route search weather information providing server 3.

  In response to this, the route search weather information providing server 3 uses the navigation and misplacement warning processing unit 305 to perform navigation processing (road guidance processing) for the walking section and use transportation. We will also provide transfer guidance in the section where you will be. As described above, when the user follows the route according to the route information, if it is predicted (determined) that a rain gear such as an umbrella is necessary, the user arrives at the transfer station or the getting-off station. At the same time, a warning for leaving miscellaneous items such as umbrellas is given along with transfer guidance.

  In this way, the route search mode can search for an optimum route from the start position to the goal position and trace the searched route. In this case, according to the information from the route search weather information providing server 3, it is possible to receive the navigation of the walking section (road guidance) and the transfer guidance of the transportation facility. Furthermore, if it is predicted that the rain gear needs to be carried, a warning for leaving the rain gear can be given during the transfer guidance. For this reason, it can be said that the route search mode is a mode suitable for use when going to a place that is not well known, or when visiting a tourist spot in a tourist destination or the like of a travel destination.

[Processing in route setting mode]
And as demonstrated using FIG. 4, the mobile telephone terminal 1 of the portable goods warning system of this Embodiment is provided with the office leaving mode and the return home mode. These modes are modes when moving according to route registration information registered in advance. Therefore, when using the office mode or the return home mode, it is necessary to register route registration information in the mobile phone terminal 1 in advance. Therefore, before describing the office entry mode and the return-to-home mode, route registration information prior registration processing will be described.

  The route registration information used in the office mode and the return home mode is information including a start position, a waypoint, and a goal position. All of the route registration information can be input by the user through the key operation unit 111. In addition, by registering the route information obtained by the route search service provided by the route search weather information providing server 3 in the mobile phone terminal 1, the target route registration information can be obtained using the route information. Can also be registered.

  First, a case where target route registration information is detected and registered using route information obtained by the route search service will be described. As described with reference to FIG. 6, it is assumed that the route information intended by the user is obtained by the route search service applied by the route search weather information providing server 3. The route information corresponds to, for example, a route traced when going to work from a home to a company currently working. Then, it is assumed that the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 performs an operation of selecting the “registration” icon At2 provided in the title column on the upper end side of the display screen as shown in FIG. In this case, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 forms route registration information based on the route information that is temporarily stored in the RAM 163 and is to be displayed, and registers the route registration information in the route registration information memory 151. To do.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for describing a configuration example of route registration information registered in the route registration information memory 151 in the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, the route registration information includes a header portion and a storage portion for information related to the route. The header portion includes identification information of the route registration information (described as route registration 1 in FIG. 7), registration date, type, and presence / absence of a misplacement warning. The registration date is a system date acquired from the clock circuit 122 when the route registration information is registered in the route registration information memory 151. In addition, although the type will be described later, the route indicated by the route registration information indicates whether it is a work route or a return route, and in the case of registration from route search, until input by the user, It is a space.

The presence / absence of the misplacement warning is information indicating whether or not the misplacement warning is performed according to the route registration information, such as an umbrella determined by the function of the mobile prediction unit 304 of the route search weather information providing server 3. This information is determined depending on whether or not it is necessary to carry the rain gear. In other words, in the presence / absence of the misplacement warning column, when the route search weather information providing server 3 predicts (determines) that it is necessary to carry rain gear such as an umbrella, it sets “with misplacement warning”. If it is predicted (determined) that it is not necessary to carry rain gear such as an umbrella, “no misplacement warning” is set.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the information storage section regarding the route, as the information regarding the start position, the address and name of the start position (departure point), the position information (latitude, longitude) of the start position, and the start position are departed. Time information (departure time). The address and name of the start position (departure point) are information input by the user when the search condition is input. The position information (latitude and longitude) of the start position is information obtained from the map DB 312 of the route search weather information providing server 3 as a result of route search. As the departure time, the time information included in the information input as the departure date and time on the search condition input screen for route search shown in FIG. 5 or the departure time specified as a result of the route search is used.

  In addition, as information about the waypoint, the address and name of the waypoint, position information (latitude, longitude) of the waypoint, and information about the time to reach the waypoint are included. Here, the waypoint corresponds to the end position of the section that is moved using a walking section or transportation, and the address and name of the waypoint are information obtained as a result of route search. Further, the location information (latitude, longitude) of the waypoint and the information of the time to reach the waypoint are information obtained from the map DB 312 of the route search weather information providing server 3 as a result of route search. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6, there are three transit points: (1) Omiya Station (JR), (2) Shinjuku Station (JR), and (3) Kudanshita Station (Teidan Subway).

  Further, as information on the goal position, there are an address and a name of the goal position (destination), position information (latitude, longitude) of the goal position, and information on arrival time (arrival time). The address and name of the goal position (destination) are information input by the user when the search condition is input. Further, the position information (latitude, longitude) of the goal position is information obtained from the map DB 312 of the route search weather information providing server 3 as a result of route search. As the arrival time, the time information in the information input as the arrival date and time in the search condition input screen for route search shown in FIG. 5 or the arrival time specified as a result of the route search is used.

  As described above, when the “registration” icon At2 is selected from the route search result display screen displayed as shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 obtains the result of the route search. Based on the route information, the route registration information shown in FIG. 7 is formed. The formed route registration information is stored in the route registration information memory 151 through the control unit 160. Therefore, in order to obtain route information from the company to the home by route search and use it as a return route used in the return home mode, the route registration information memory 151 of the mobile phone terminal 1 is used as route registration information. You will be able to register in

  In the mobile phone terminal 1 according to the first embodiment, when the route setting mode is selected on the initial screen when the transfer guidance service shown in FIG. 4 is executed, the route used in the office mode or the return home mode is selected. Registration information setting processing can be performed. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of the route setting screen displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113 of the mobile phone terminal 1 when the route setting mode is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 8, on the route setting screen of this example, an “add” icon is displayed next to the title “route setting”. As information input fields, a start position input field N1, a transit point input field N2, a goal position input field N3, and a type input field N4 are provided. In addition, a “delete” icon, an “OK” icon, and an “end” icon are provided at the bottom of the route setting screen.

  The “add” icon is an icon selected when completely registering new route registration information. Until the “addition icon” is selected, the change mode is set, and the route registration information registered in the route registration information memory 151 can be changed.

  The start position input field N1 is a part that receives an input of an address of a start position, a landmark name, and a departure time. Here, the address and landmark name of the input start position are transmitted to the route search weather information providing server 3 to check whether the information is correct information existing in the map information of the map DB 312. When the address or landmark name entered in the start position input field N1 is not correct, re-entry is requested, and depending on the entered information, one start position cannot be specified, and there are multiple candidates. You can also choose from them. If the address or landmark name input in the start position input field N1 is correct, the position information (longitude and latitude) of the start position is provided from the route search weather information providing server 3 to the mobile phone terminal 1. Is done.

  The transit point input field N2 is a part that accepts inputs of transit point addresses, landmark names (including station names and the like), and arrival times. The input of information to the transit point input field N2 is also basically performed in the same manner as the input of information to the start position input field N1. However, there are usually a plurality of waypoints. For this reason, in the waypoint input field N2, information related to a plurality of waypoints can be input by scrolling the display. The goal position input field N3 is a part that receives an input of an address, a landmark name, and an arrival time of the goal position. The input of information to the goal position input field N3 is also basically performed in the same manner as the input of information to the start position input field N1.

  The type input field N4 is a part that accepts input of information indicating whether the route registration information input through the route setting screen is a work route or a return route.

  Then, as described above, when the “add” icon at the upper end is not selected and the mode is in the change mode, as shown in FIG. 8, according to the route registration information registered in the route registration information memory 151. Information is displayed and changes can be entered. For example, in the case where the route registration information displayed as shown in FIG. 8 can be used as a work exit route, an input with the type “enter office” is input to the type input field N4. To do.

  In the case of the first embodiment, the cursor is positioned in the type input field N4, and input such as “going to work” and “going home” is performed by performing a predetermined operation such as pressing an arrow key, for example. The information can be alternately changed and displayed in the type input field N4. Then, when the target type (going to work or going home) is selected and the “OK” icon is selected, route registration information formed as described with reference to FIG. The route registration information that is “going to work or going home” is overwritten (rewritten) in the route registration information memory 151.

  For example, the route registration information registered in the route registration information memory 151 is sequentially changed by performing a predetermined page break operation such as pressing the arrow key by positioning the cursor in the start position input field N1. The information is displayed on the route setting screen so that information can be input. In this way, by performing an operation for setting the type for the route registration information registered in the route registration information memory 151 based on the route information obtained by performing the route search, Route registration information used in the return home mode can be formed.

  Further, as described above, in the route setting screen shown in FIG. 8, by selecting the “add” icon at the upper end, the user enters appropriate mode through the key operation unit 111 to input appropriate information, and route setting information is displayed. May be registered. In this case, as described above, the map information of the route search weather information providing server 3 is obtained by inputting information into the start position input field N1, the waypoint input field N2, and the goal position input field N3. A predetermined input check is performed based on the above information so that accurate information can be input.

[Processing at work mode]
As described above, when the route registration information indicating the route to be followed at the time of going to office (entering office route registration information) and the route registration information indicating the route to be followed at the time of returning home (return home route registration information) are registered in the route registration information memory 151, The mode and the return home mode can be used. 4, when the office entry mode is selected on the initial screen of the transfer guidance service shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 indicates that the type stored in the route registration information memory 151 is “enter office”. A transfer guidance request including both route registration information (going office route registration information) and route registration information (home route registration information) of the type “return home” is formed and transmitted to the route search weather information providing server 3 To do.

  When the route search weather information providing server 3 receives the transfer guidance request, the route search weather information providing server 3 stores the office entry route registration information and the return route registration information included therein in the route information file for each user. The route search weather information providing server 3 then needs to carry rain gear such as an umbrella on the basis of the stored office entry route registration information, the return home route registration information, the map information in the map DB 312, and the weather information in the weather information DB 313. Is predicted (discriminated). In this case, when it is predicted that rain gear will be required at least one of when going to work and when going home, it is predicted that the rain gear needs to be carried.

  When the route search weather information providing server 3 predicts (determines) that the rain gear needs to be carried, the route search weather information providing server 3 transmits information (message information or the like) that prompts the user to carry the rain gear to the mobile phone terminal 1. When the requesting mobile phone terminal 1 receives the information prompting the user to carry the rain gear, the request entry mobile registration terminal 151 stores the departure route registration information stored in the route registration information memory 151 and the home route registration information in the presence / absence of a misplacement warning column. Update the information that indicates “There is a misplacement warning”. In the mobile phone terminal 1, the misplacement warning processing unit 152 displays a display message prompting the user to carry rain gear on the display unit 113 through the display control unit 112 according to the information from the route search weather information providing server 3. A voice message for encouraging the carrying of rain gear is emitted from the speaker through the voice processing unit 114.

  In addition, the process of predicting (determining) the necessity of carrying rain gears is performed by specifying an outdoor place (place affected by the weather) on the work route and the return route, and the mobile phone terminal 1 at that place. This is performed based on weather information at the time when the user with the position is or will be located. Further, the prediction (discrimination) result of the necessity of carrying rain gear is held in the route search weather information providing server 3 and is also notified to the mobile phone terminal 1 until the transfer guidance corresponding to the office mode is completed. In addition, information indicating the prediction result is written in the column of presence / absence of a misplacement warning in the corresponding work attendance route registration information and the return home route registration information.

  Thereafter, the mobile phone terminal 1 transmits information indicating its current position to the route search weather information providing server 3 together with its own identification information at every predetermined timing. Based on the information indicating the current position from the mobile phone terminal 1, the route search weather information providing server 3 is a location where the mobile phone terminal 1 gets out of a predetermined transportation system specified by the departure route registration information (transfer location or getting off the vehicle). It is monitored whether or not the vicinity of (position) has been reached. When the route search weather information providing server 3 detects that the mobile phone terminal 1 reaches the vicinity of the position where the mobile phone terminal 1 gets off the predetermined transportation, the route search weather information providing server 3 transmits information related to the transfer guidance to the mobile phone terminal 1. At this time, as described above, when it is determined that there is a necessity of carrying rain gear, the route search weather information providing server 3 also gives a rain gear misplacement warning to the mobile phone terminal 1. Like that.

  If it is predicted that it will not be necessary to carry rain gear such as an umbrella, it will of course not be given a warning that the rain gear is left behind, but the transfer guidance may be given by the user to stop. It is executed except for.

[Processing in return mode]
In addition, when the return home mode is selected on the initial screen of the transfer guidance service shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 indicates that the type stored in the route registration information memory 151 is “return home”. A transfer guidance request including certain route registration information (return home route registration information) is formed and transmitted to the route search weather information providing server 3.

  As described above, in the office mode, when the necessity of carrying rain gear is predicted, and it is predicted that the rain gear needs to be carried, the column of presence / absence of a misplacement warning in the return home route registration information indicates “ The information that there is a misplacement warning has been updated. In this case, since the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 is expected to come to the office with a rain gear such as an umbrella, information for giving a rain gear misplacement warning is transmitted. When the mobile phone terminal 1 receives the information for performing the raining device misplacement warning, as described above, the mobile phone terminal 1 displays a misplacement warning message on the display screen of the display unit 113 according to the information, or through the speaker 115. Sound a misplacement warning message.

  If the information indicating “forgetting to leave” is not updated in the column for presence / absence of a forgotten warning in the return home route registration information, the route search weather information providing server 3 includes the return home route registration information, Based on the map information of the map DB 312 and the weather information of the weather information DB 313, the necessity of carrying rain gear such as an umbrella is predicted (discriminated). That is, this time, the necessity of carrying rain gear is newly predicted (determined) when returning home.

  When the route search weather information providing server 3 predicts (determines) that it is necessary to carry rain gear, it transmits information prompting the user to carry rain gear to the mobile phone terminal 1 as in the office mode described above. To do. When the requesting mobile phone terminal 1 receives the information prompting the user to carry the rain gear, as described above, the message prompting the user to carry the rain gear is displayed on the display unit 113 through the display control unit 112 or the speaker through the voice processing unit 114. Sounds a message prompting you to carry rain gear.

  The prediction (discrimination) result of the necessity of carrying rain gear is held in the route search weather information providing server 3 and also notified to the mobile phone terminal 1 until the transfer guidance corresponding to the office mode is completed. In addition, information indicating the prediction result is written in the column of presence / absence of a misplacement warning in the corresponding work attendance route registration information and the return home route registration information.

  Thereafter, the mobile phone terminal 1 transmits information indicating its current position to the route search weather information providing server 3 together with its own identification information at every predetermined timing. The route search weather information providing server 3 has reached the vicinity of the position where the mobile phone terminal 1 gets off the predetermined transportation specified by the office entry route registration information based on the information indicating the current location from the mobile phone terminal 1 Monitor whether or not. When the route search weather information providing server 3 detects that the mobile phone terminal 1 has arrived in the vicinity of a position (transfer position or alighting position) where the mobile phone terminal 1 gets off the predetermined transportation facility, the route search weather information providing server 3 Send information for. At this time, as described above, when it is determined that there is a necessity of carrying rain gear, the route search weather information providing server 3 also gives a rain gear misplacement warning to the mobile phone terminal 1. Like that.

  If it is predicted that it will not be necessary to carry rain gear such as an umbrella, it will of course not be given a warning that the rain gear is left behind, but the transfer guidance may be given by the user to stop. It is executed except for.

"Specific examples of warning messages"
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example of a warning message displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113 when performing a forgetting to place rain gear such as an umbrella performed in the mobile phone terminal 1. The message prompting the user to carry the rain gear in the route search mode is performed in the header information column 51 of the route search result as described with reference to FIG. 9A is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113 through the display control unit 112 by the function of the misplacement warning processing unit 152 by the function of the misplacement warning processing unit 152. Is done.

  In addition, for example, as shown in FIG. 9B, a rain gear misplacement message displayed at the time of arrival at a transfer position, a getting-off position, or the vicinity of a transportation facility in the route search mode, the office return mode, or the return-to-home mode. In this way, a warning about the misplacement of the rain gear is given together with a message for transfer guidance. In the return-to-home mode, if there is already a warning about leaving the rain gear, that is, it is predicted (determined) that the rain gear must be carried when going to work, and it is predicted that the rain gear has been carried. In such a case, a message as shown in FIG. 9C is displayed. Also in these cases, the message is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113 through the display control unit 112 by the function of the misplacement warning processing unit 152.

  Here, a case has been described in which a rain gear misplacement message is output as a display message, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the misplacement warning processing unit 152 can vibrate the vibrator 116, and the misplacement warning processing unit 152 can emit a warning sound from a speaker through the audio processing unit 114. Further, the misplacement warning processing unit 152 can emit a voice message having the same content as the display message shown in FIG. 9 from the speaker 115 through the voice processing unit 114.

  9A, 9B, and 9C are provided with a warning off icon and an OK icon. When the warning off icon is selected, the subsequent misplacement warning can be canceled. . When the OK icon is selected, it is regarded as a response to the warning message, and the warning process is continued according to the misplacement warning setting information.

[Summary of operation of mobile phone terminal 1]
Next, the processing (operation) performed in the mobile phone terminal 1 of the first embodiment will be summarized with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining processing when the mobile phone terminal 1 according to the first embodiment performs a transfer guidance service. That is, as described above, when the mobile phone terminal 1 selects an item corresponding to the transfer guidance service from a menu in which an executable application is registered, the control unit 160 displays the information shown in FIG. Processing for performing the indicated transfer guidance service is executed.

  First, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 displays the initial screen of the transfer guidance service described with reference to FIG. 4 on the display screen of the display unit 113 through the display control unit 112 (step S1). And the control part 160 receives the operation input from the user with respect to the initial screen of a transfer guidance service through the key operation part 111 (step S2).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the received operation input is an instruction to execute the route search mode (step S3). When it is determined that the input of the route search mode is to be instructed, a route search mode process described later is performed. This is executed (step S4), and then the processing of FIG. 10 is terminated. If it is determined in step S3 that the route search mode is not instructed, it is determined whether or not the accepted operation input instructs to enter the office mode (step S5). When it is determined in the determination process of step S5 that execution of the office mode is instructed, an office mode process described later is executed (step S6), and then the process shown in FIG. 10 is terminated.

  When it is determined in the determination process of step S5 that the execution of the office mode is not instructed, it is determined whether or not the accepted operation input indicates the execution of the return home mode (step S7). When it is determined in the determination process in step S7 that execution of the return-to-home mode is instructed, a return-to-home mode process described later is executed (step S8), and then the process shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S7 that the return mode is not instructed, it is determined whether or not the accepted operation input is an instruction to execute the route setting mode (step S9). If it is determined in the determination process in step S9 that an instruction to execute the route setting mode is given, a route setting mode process described later is executed (step S10), and then the process shown in FIG. 10 is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S9 that the route setting mode is not instructed, it is determined whether or not the accepted operation input instructs to end the transfer guidance service (step S11). When it is determined in the determination process in step S11 that the instruction to end the transfer guidance service is given, a predetermined end process such as returning the display screen to the menu screen is performed (step S12), and the process shown in FIG. Exit.

  If it is determined in step S11 that the transfer guidance service is not instructed to end, the received operation input is not valid for the initial screen of the transfer guidance, so the processing from step S2 is performed. To repeat. In this way, the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 can select a mode according to the purpose and execute processing related to the transfer guidance.

[Route search mode processing]
11 to 13 are flowcharts for explaining the route search mode process executed in step S4 shown in FIG.

  In the route search mode process, the control unit 160 controls the transmission / reception processing unit 102 to connect itself to the Internet, and to the route search weather information providing server 3 to input search conditions for route search. Is requested (step S101). Then, the control unit 160 receives a search condition input screen (see FIG. 5) for route search provided from the route search weather information providing server 3, and displays it on the display screen of the display unit 113 through the display control unit 112. (Step S102).

  Thereafter, the control unit 160 receives input of necessary information on the search condition input screen displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113 from the user through the key operation unit 111 (step S103). Then, the control unit 160 determines whether or not necessary items are input on the initial input screen and the search icon is selected (step S104).

  If it is determined in step S104 that the search icon is not selected, it is determined whether an end icon is selected (step S105). When determining in step S105 that the end icon has been selected, the control unit 160 performs predetermined end processing, such as ending the connection to the Internet and returning the display screen to the menu display (step S105). S106), the processing shown in FIGS.

  When determining that the end icon is not selected in the determination process of step S105, the control unit 160 performs a process according to the received operation input, for example, a process such as moving the cursor to the input item ( Steps S107) and S103 are repeated.

  When it is determined in step S104 that necessary information has been input and a search icon has been selected, the control unit 160 generates a route search request including information input on the search condition input screen. Then, it is transmitted to the route search weather information providing server 3 through the transmission / reception processing unit 102 and the transmission / reception antenna 101 (step S108).

The route search weather information providing server 3 performs route search in response to the route search request, predicts (determines) the necessity of carrying rain gear, and transmits the route information obtained as a result. The control unit 160 receives the route information from the route search weather information providing server 3 , and displays it on the display screen of the display unit 113 through the display control unit 112 as shown in FIG. 6 (step S109).

  Thereafter, the control unit 160 receives an operation input from the user through the key operation unit 111 (step S110). And it is discriminate | determined whether predetermined completion | finish operation which complete | finishes route search mode was performed (step S111). When it is determined in step S111 that the predetermined end operation has been performed, the control unit 160 performs a predetermined end process in the same manner as in step S106 (step S112). The processing shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S111 that the predetermined end operation has not been performed, it is determined whether or not the “navigation” icon At1 has been selected on the route search result display screen shown in FIG. (Step S113). If it is determined in step S113 that the “navigation” icon At1 is not selected, the control unit 160 determines whether or not the “registration” icon At2 is selected on the route search result display screen shown in FIG. Is determined (step S114).

  If it is determined in step S114 that the “Register” icon At2 is not selected, the control unit 160 performs processing according to the accepted operation input, for example, processing for scrolling the display (step S115). ), The process from step S110 is repeated.

When it is determined in the determination process of step S113 that the “navigation” icon At1 is selected, the control unit 160 executes the navigation and transfer guidance process from step S116 shown in FIG. If it is determined in step S114 that the “registration” icon At2 has been selected, the control unit 160 performs route registration information registration processing from step S123 shown in FIG.

  First, the case where the navigation and transfer guidance process from step S116 shown in FIG. 12 is performed will be described. In this case, the control unit 160 forms a navigation start request including the selected route information and information indicating the current position of the own device, and transmits the request to the route search weather information providing server 3 through the transmission / reception processing unit 102 and the transmission / reception antenna 101. (Step S116). And the control part 160 is made to receive through the navigation information and transfer guidance information from the route search weather information provision server 3 (step S117).

And the control part 160 discriminate | determines whether the guidance information from the route search weather information provision server 3 was received (step S118), and when it determines with not having received, it repeats the process from step S117. To do. When it is determined in the determination process in step S118 that the guide information from the route search weather information providing server 3 has been received, the control unit 160 cooperates with the misplacement warning processing unit 152 as necessary to receive the guidance information. Guide information is output (step S119).

  In this case, the guidance information from the route search weather information providing server 3 is, for example, navigation information in a walking section, transfer guidance information in a section using transportation, and the like. When the guidance information from the route search weather information providing server 3 is navigation information, the control unit 160 displays a map on the display screen of the display unit 113 through the display control unit 112, or the voice processing unit 114. Through the speaker 115 to output a voice message. The map displayed in this case is an area including the current position of the mobile phone terminal 1 and includes a mark indicating the current position and the traveling direction of the mobile phone terminal 1. Also, the voice message is for performing route guidance such as "Please turn right at the next crossroad."

  If the guidance information from the route search weather information providing server 3 is transfer guidance information, the control unit 160 controls the display control unit 112 and outputs information corresponding to the transfer guidance information. In this case, when it is predicted that it is necessary to carry rain gear such as an umbrella, as shown in FIG. 9B, a warning that the next station is a transfer station or a disembarking station or that an umbrella is left behind is warned. Message is output. Even in this case, the display message can be displayed on the display unit 113 and the voice message can be output from the speaker 115.

  After the guidance information output process in step S119, the control unit 160 determines whether or not the navigation process has ended (step S120). This determination process can be determined based on, for example, whether an arrival message has been transmitted from the route search weather information providing server 3. If it is determined in the determination process in step S120 that the navigation process has ended (has arrived at the goal position), a predetermined end process is performed (step S121), and the processes shown in FIGS. If it is determined in the determination process in step S120 that the navigation process has not ended, the control unit 160 transmits information indicating the current position of the own device to the route search weather information providing server 3 (step S122). The processing from step S117 is repeated.

  Next, a case where the “registration” icon At2 is selected in the determination processing in step S114 of FIG. 11 and the route registration information registration processing from step S123 shown in FIG. 13 is performed will be described. In this case, the control unit 160 generates the route registration information in the form shown in FIG. 7 from the route information temporarily stored in the RAM 163 and to be displayed (step S123).

  Thereafter, the control unit 160 registers (adds) the route registration information generated in step S123 in the route registration information memory 151 (step S124). Thereafter, the processing from step S110 in FIG. 11 is repeated. Thereby, route registration information corresponding to the route information obtained as a result of the route search is formed and registered in the route registration information memory 151, and this is used to form route registration information used in the office mode or the return home mode. To be able to.

  In this way, by executing the route search mode process from the mobile phone terminal 1, the route from the target start position to the goal position is searched, and the navigation process, the transfer guidance process, and forgetting the rain gear as necessary Even warning processing can be performed automatically. In addition, route registration information is formed from the route information obtained as a result of route search and registered in the route registration information memory 151 so that it can be used later.

[Working mode processing]
FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the office entry mode process executed in step S6 shown in FIG.

  In the office entry mode process, the control unit 160 extracts the route registration information whose types registered in the route registration information memory 151 are “commuting” and “return home”, generates a transfer guidance request including these, It transmits to the route search weather information provision server 3 (step S201). As a result, the route search weather information providing server 3 can predict (determine) whether or not it is necessary to carry rain gear at least at the time of going to work or at the time of returning home, and receive the provision of the result. Is done. The transfer guidance request also includes information indicating the current position of the mobile phone terminal 1. Further, in step S201, initialization processing for the column of presence / absence of a misplacement warning in the route registration information with the types registered in the route registration information memory 151 being “going office” and “returning home” is also performed.

  After the process of step S201, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 receives the prediction result regarding the carrying of rain gear transmitted from the route search weather information providing server 3 (step S202). And it is discriminate | determined whether the prediction result received in step S202 shows that the carrying of rain gear is required (step S203).

  In the determination process of step S203, when the received prediction result indicates that it is necessary to carry rain gear, the control unit 160 updates the column of presence / absence of a misplacement warning in the transmitted route registration information. (Step S204). That is, in step S204, the information indicating “with a misplacement warning” is updated in the presence / absence of the misplacement warning column of the route registration information with the type “working” and the route registration information with the type “going home”. Then, the control unit 160 controls the misplacement warning processing unit 152 and outputs a message that prompts the user to carry a rain gear such as an umbrella (step S205). Here, one or both of display of a display message on the display unit 113 and output of a voice message from the speaker 115 are performed. An example of the message displayed in step S205 is as shown in FIG. 9A.

  After the process of step S205, the control unit 160 transmits information indicating the current position of the own machine to the route search weather information providing server 3 together with the identification information of the own machine (step S206). Further, in the determination process of step S203, if the received prediction result indicates that it is not necessary to carry rain gear, the process of step S206 is directly performed without performing the processes of steps S204 and 205. It will be.

  After the process of step S206, the control unit 160 receives the transfer guidance from the route search weather information providing server 3 (step S207), and determines whether the transfer guidance is received (step S208). If it is determined in step S208 that the transfer guidance has not been received, the process from step S206 is repeated, and information indicating the current position of the aircraft is transmitted to the route search weather information providing server 3 at a predetermined timing. Can be sent to.

  When it is determined in step S208 that the transfer guidance (transfer guidance message) has been received, the control unit 160 cooperates with the misplacement warning processing unit 152 to issue a transfer guidance and a raining device misplacement warning. (Step S209). In the process of step S209, when it is predicted that it is necessary to carry rain gear, the message in the mode shown in FIG. 9B is output. When it is predicted that it is not necessary to carry rain gear, a simple transfer guide is output. Also in step S209, one or both of display of a display message on the display unit 113 and output of a voice message from the speaker 115 are performed.

  Then, the control unit 160 determines whether or not it has arrived at the destination and the transfer guidance has ended (step S210). As will be described later, the determination process in step S210 can be determined based on whether an arrival message indicating arrival at the destination is transmitted from the route search weather information providing server 3.

  In the determination process of step S210, when the arrival message is received and it is determined that the transfer guidance has ended, a predetermined end process is executed (step S211), and the process of FIG. If it is determined in step S210 that the transfer guidance has not ended, the control unit 160 repeats the process from step S206, and obtains information indicating the current position of the aircraft at a predetermined timing. The information can be transmitted to the information providing server 3.

  As described above, in the office entry mode process, the necessity of carrying rain gear can be predicted based on the office registration route registration information and the return route registration information registered in advance. When it is predicted that it will be necessary to carry rain gear at least when leaving the office or when going home, it will be encouraged to carry rain gear when leaving the house, and it will be necessary to carry the rain gear when leaving the home, as well as at the transfer location, getting off position, and its vicinity. It is made possible to give a warning about the misplacement of rain gear at the timing of reaching.

[Home mode processing]
FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the return-to-home mode process executed in step S8 shown in FIG. As can be seen by comparing the return-to-home mode process shown in FIG. 15 and the office return mode process shown in FIG. 14, both processes are performed in substantially the same manner. However, in the work-going mode process shown in FIG. 14, both the work-going route registration information and the return-home route registration information are used, whereas in the home-coming mode process shown in FIG. 15, only the return-home route registration information is used. I use it.

  In other words, it is necessary to predict (discriminate) the necessity of carrying rain gear both when going to work and when going home. However, when it is predicted that it will be necessary to carry rain gear when going home, there is a high possibility that the user has come to the office with rain gear. Further, if it is predicted that it is not necessary to carry rain gear when going to the office, it becomes necessary to predict the necessity of carrying rain gear when returning home and to notify this. In this respect, there is a slight difference between the two processes.

  Specifically, in the process illustrated in FIG. 15, the control unit 160 extracts route registration information whose type is “return home” registered in the route registration information memory 151, and generates a transfer guidance request including the route registration information. This is transmitted to the route search weather information providing server 3 (step S301). The transfer guidance request also includes information indicating the current position of the mobile phone terminal 1.

  The route search weather information providing server 3 checks the column of presence / absence of a misplacement warning in the sent home route registration information. This is because when it is predicted that the rain gear needs to be carried at the time of leaving the office, information indicating “there is a misplacement warning” is updated in the presence / absence of the misplacement warning in the return home route registration information. Then, if the information indicating “placement warning” is updated in the column of presence / absence of the misplacement warning, the route search weather information providing server 3 can display the confirmation message shown in FIG. 9C. Information is transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 1. In addition, when the information indicating “with a misplacement warning” is not updated in the column of the presence / absence of a misplacement warning, the route search weather information providing server 3 uses the provided home route registration information, The necessity of carrying rain gear is predicted, and the prediction result is transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 1.

In this way, at the time of the return home mode processing, as described above, information for confirming to the user that he / she has gone to work with the rain gear as information on carrying the rain gear from the route search weather information providing server 3, Alternatively, information for prompting the user to carry rain gear is transmitted. Therefore, in step S302 of FIG. 15, a process of receiving information related to carrying the rain gear from the route search weather information providing server 3 is performed (step S302).

  Then, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 indicates whether or not the received information regarding the carrying of the rain gear indicates that the rain gear has been carried or that it is predicted that the rain gear should be carried. Is determined (step S303). In the determination process of step S303, when it is determined that the received information regarding the carrying of the rain gear indicates that the rain gear is being carried or that it is predicted that the rain gear needs to be carried, the control unit 160 Updates the field of presence / absence of a misplacement warning in the transmitted home route registration information to information indicating “there is a misplacement warning” (step S304). It should be noted that if the information has already been updated to the information indicating “There is a misplacement warning”, it is not necessary to perform the processing.

  Thereafter, the control unit 160 displays a confirmation message of the mode shown in FIG. 9C based on the information regarding the carrying of the rain gear received in step S302, or a message prompting the carrying of the rain gear of the mode shown in FIG. 9A. For example (step S305). In the determination process of step S303, when it is determined that the received information regarding the carrying of rain gear does not indicate that the rain gear has been carried or that it is predicted that the rain gear should be carried. The processes from step S306 are performed without performing the processes of S304 and S305.

  The processing from step S306 to step S311 is performed in the same manner as the corresponding processing from step S206 to step S211 shown in FIG. As described above, in the return-to-home mode process, if it is predicted that the rain gear needs to be carried by the execution of the office mode process, the rain gear misplacement warning is automatically issued. In addition, if it is predicted that it is not necessary to carry rain gear as a result of the office mode process, the necessity of carrying rain gear can be newly predicted and a misplacement warning can be issued accordingly. To be.

[Route setting mode]
Since the route setting mode process performed in step S10 shown in FIG. 10 has been described in detail with reference to FIG. 8 and the like, the description using the flowchart is omitted. However, as described above, in the route setting mode processing, it is used at the time of entering the office mode processing or the return home mode processing based on the information input by the user or based on the route information obtained by the route search. Route registration information can be formed and registered. In addition, the change of the already registered route registration information can be deleted.

[Summary of operation of route search weather information providing server 3]
Next, processing (operations) performed by the route search weather information providing server 3 according to the first embodiment will be summarized with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining processing of a main routine performed in the route search weather information providing server 3 according to the first embodiment. The processing shown in FIG. 16 is always executed mainly in the control unit 320 of the route search weather information providing server 3.

  Then, the control unit 320 receives a request addressed to itself from the mobile phone terminal 1 or the like transmitted through the network 4 (step S21), and determines whether or not a request addressed to itself is received. (Step S22). If it is determined in step S22 that the request addressed to the own device has not been received, the processing from step S21 is repeated to enter a state of waiting for the request addressed to the own device.

  If it is determined in step S22 that the request addressed to the device has been received, it is determined whether or not the received request is a request for providing a search condition input screen (step S23). If it is determined in step S23 that the request is for providing a search condition input screen, a route search process described later is executed (step S24), and thereafter, the process from step S21 is repeated.

  If it is determined in the determination process of step S23 that the received request is not a request for providing an input screen for search conditions, it is determined whether or not the received request is a transfer guidance request in the office mode (step S25). . When it is determined in the determination process of step S25 that it is a transfer guidance request in the office mode, an after-communication transfer guidance process described later is executed (step S26), and thereafter, the process from step S21 is repeated. .

  If it is determined in the determination process in step S25 that the received request is not a transfer guidance request in the office mode, it is determined whether or not the received request is a transfer guidance request in the return mode (step S27). When it is determined in the determination process in step S27 that the request is a transfer guidance request in the return home mode, a transfer guidance process for return to be described later is executed (step S28), and thereafter, the process from step S21 is repeated. .

  If it is determined in step S27 that the request is not a transfer guidance request in the return home mode, processing according to the received request is executed (step S29), and thereafter, the processing from step S21 is repeated. . In this way, the route search weather information providing server 3 executes processing according to the request from the mobile phone terminal 1 so that the service required by the mobile phone terminal 1 can be applied.

[Route search processing]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining the route search process executed in step S24 shown in FIG.

  In the route search process, the control unit 320 first transmits a search condition input screen (see FIG. 5) to the requesting mobile phone terminal 1 in response to the request for providing the search condition input screen (step 5).

After the process of step S705, the transfer guidance process when returning home shown in FIG. In this way, it is possible to provide transfer guidance when returning home using the return route registration information registered in advance.

[Guidance processing (navigation and transfer guidance processing)]
FIG. 20 is a flowchart for explaining the guidance processing (navigation and transfer guidance processing) executed in each of step S511 shown in FIG. 17, step S603 in FIG. 18, and step S705 in FIG.

  In the guidance process, the control unit 320 controls the navigation and misplacement warning processing unit 305, and based on the information indicating the current position of the mobile phone terminal transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 1, the navigation information, the transfer guidance Information is generated and transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 1 (step S801). Here, the navigation information is information for road guidance in the walking section, and the transfer guidance information is transferred at the position where the transportation is exited (transfer position or getting off position) in the section where the transportation is used. It is information for prompting and getting off. In addition, the transfer guidance information includes a warning to leave the rain gear when it is predicted (determined) that the rain gear needs to be carried. If no guidance is required from the current location of the mobile phone terminal 1, the route search weather information providing server 3 does not generate or transmit guidance information in step S801.

  And the control part 320 receives the information which shows the newest present position of the mobile telephone terminal 1 transmitted from the mobile telephone terminal 1 for every predetermined timing (step S802), and the said mobile telephone terminal 1 is a destination ( It is determined whether or not the goal position has been reached (step S803). The process of step S803 includes the information indicating the current position received in step S802, the goal position of the route information of the route being traced this time, which is provided from the mobile phone terminal 1 and stored in the route information file 311 for each user. Is determined based on

  When it is determined in step S803 that the destination has not been reached, the control unit 320 repeats the processing from step S801. If it is determined in step S803 that the destination has been reached, the control unit 320 forms an arrival message and transmits it to the requesting mobile phone terminal 1 (step S804). Thereafter, the control unit 320 performs a predetermined end process (step S805), and ends the process shown in FIG.

  In this way, the route search weather information providing server 3 provides guidance in consideration of the current position from the mobile phone terminal 1 so as to follow the route specified by the route information and route registration information from the mobile phone terminal 1. Will be able to do. In the guidance process performed in step S801, transfer guidance is provided, and a rain gear misplacement warning can be performed.

[Effect of the first embodiment]
As described above, in the portable product warning system according to the first embodiment, when traveling along a predetermined route, the necessity of carrying a rain gear that is a predetermined portable item is also accurately predicted (discriminated). If necessary, the user can be encouraged to carry the rain gear or warn of the misplacement of the rain gear when reaching a place where there is a high risk that the rain gear will be misplaced.

  In addition to the train, there are various means of transportation such as buses, taxis, and monorails. For this reason, it may not be possible to accurately detect whether or not the vehicle is located in the vicinity of the end point of the predetermined movement section by using only one of the current position measured by the GPS function and the position information from the position management server 2. Therefore, as described above, by considering both the current position measured by the GPS function and the position information from the position management server 2, it is detected whether or not the vehicle is located in the vicinity of the getting-off position in a predetermined moving section. Each of the mobile phone terminals 1 (1), 1 (2),... Can acquire the current position of the own device more accurately.

  Also, for example, when it was raining, when it was raining, I went out with a rain gear such as an umbrella, but in a situation where the weather recovered immediately and it was clear, the rain gear was already The need is gone. In such a case, the user's attention to the rain gear that is carried is reduced, and the rain gear may be left behind. Even in such a case, in the portable article warning system of the first embodiment described above, when it is predicted (determined) that the user needs to carry rain gear when going out, the place where the user gets off the transportation facility. Since the raining device misplacement warning is always performed, it is possible to effectively prevent the raining device from being misplaced without being affected by changes in the weather.

[Other matters related to the first embodiment]
Note that, as described above, the route search weather information providing server 3 detects whether or not the mobile phone terminal is located in the vicinity of the position where the mobile phone terminal gets off the predetermined transportation (transfer position or getting off position). This can be done depending on whether or not the mobile phone terminal has approached a predetermined distance or less with respect to the position of getting off. More specifically, when the distance to the position to get off the predetermined transportation is, for example, several hundred meters or less, it can be detected that the position has come close to the position to get off the predetermined transportation. . It is also possible to provide transfer guidance at the timing of reaching the station immediately before the transfer station or the getting-off station, or at the timing of passing the station just before the transfer station or the getting-off station. In addition, if the current position of the mobile device detected by the mobile phone terminal matches the position of the transfer station or the getting-off station, that is, the misplacement warning is issued at the timing when the arrival at the transfer station or the getting-off station is detected. But of course.

  Further, as described above, the portable device misplacement warning is performed by emitting a sound message as a voice message or displaying it as a display message on the display screen of the display unit. Of course, both of them can be performed, or one or both of them can be combined with vibration by a vibrator to output a misplacement warning of the portable item.

In the route search weather information providing server 3 according to the first embodiment described above, the first and second receiving means are realized by the connection terminal 301 and the communication I / F 302 , and the predicting means is the portable prediction unit 304. The detection unit is realized by the control unit 320 and the navigation and misplacement warning processing unit 305, and the warning information providing unit is realized mainly by the navigation and misplacement warning processing unit 305.

  In the cellular phone terminal 1 of the first embodiment, the providing unit is realized by the control unit 160, the transmission / reception processing unit 102, and the transmission / reception antenna 101, and the current position acquisition unit is the control unit 160, the transmission / reception processing unit 102, The transmission / reception antenna 101, the GPS unit 131, and the GPS antenna 132 are realized, the warning information reception unit is realized by the transmission / reception antenna 101, the transmission / reception processing unit 102, and the control unit 160, and the warning unit is the control unit 160, the display control unit 112, The display unit 113, the audio processing unit 114, and the speaker 115 are realized.

  Further, the information related to the travel route from the mobile phone terminal 1 is route information and route registration information provided from the mobile phone terminal 1 to the route search weather information providing server 3.

[Second Embodiment]
In recent years, the number of foreign students and tourists from abroad to Japan has been increasing year by year, and more people have visited Japan for work. Japanese public transport, which is well-developed compared to other countries, is often used by foreigners visiting Japan.

  And in some metropolitan areas, in-car broadcasts may be conducted in English or Korean, but in-car broadcasts in most public transportation systems in Japan are conducted only in Japanese. Is the reality. For this reason, it is particularly difficult for foreigners who cannot hear Japanese in-car broadcasts to transfer subways and local buses in metropolitan areas. For this reason, a so-called navigation service that supports multiple languages is required.

  In the mobile phone terminal 1 according to the first embodiment described above, the transfer guidance including the misplacement warning is performed in Japanese. If the transfer guidance can be made in a foreign language, it can be used for foreigners visiting Japan.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, the overpass guidance including the misplacement warning can be performed in the language selected by the user through the mobile phone terminal. Also in this second embodiment, the basic configuration of the system is as shown in FIG.

[Configuration example of route search weather information providing server 3X]
FIG. 21 is a block diagram for explaining a configuration example of the route search weather information providing server 3X according to the second embodiment. As can be seen by comparing FIG. 21 and FIG. 3, the route search weather information providing server 3 </ b> X according to the second embodiment includes a foreign language dictionary 314. The other parts are configured in the same manner as the route search weather information providing server 3 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. For this reason, in the route search weather information providing server 3X shown in FIG. 21, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those of the route search weather information providing server 3 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. In the following, the description of those portions is omitted, and will be omitted.

The foreign language dictionary 314 stores a plurality of foreign language dictionary data. To cover people all over the world, foreign language dictionary data of about 85 languages is required. However, some countries have very few visitors to Japan. Therefore, the foreign language dictionary data prepared in the foreign language dictionary 314 is determined based on predetermined statistical data such as a country with a large number of visitors to Japan and a country with a large number of visitors to Japan.

  In the second embodiment, the foreign language dictionary 314 contains dictionary data for 10 languages of Korean, Chinese, English, Italian, French, Thai, German, Vietnamese, Spanish and Portuguese. Is prepared. It goes without saying that there are other Japanese dictionaries.

[Language setting processing performed through the mobile phone terminal 1]
In the portable product warning system of the second embodiment, the mobile phone terminal used by the user is the mobile phone terminal 1 having the configuration described with reference to FIG. Also in the second embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment described above, the mobile phone terminal 1 having the configuration shown in FIG. 2 is connected to the route search weather information providing server 3X. By accessing, a service similar to that in the system of the first embodiment is provided. However, as will be described below, the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 can output various messages in the language by selecting the intended language to be used.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining an example of a language selection screen used in the mobile phone terminal 1 according to the second embodiment. The language selection screen is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 113 by selecting a language selection (Language Used) from a predetermined menu. In the mobile phone terminal 1 according to the second embodiment, the language selection screen is formed of English widely used in the world.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the selection screen is provided with information indicating selectable languages (information such as Japanese Korean, Chinese,...) And a circle (so-called radio button) used as a selection input field immediately before the selection screen. It has been.

  On the language selection screen, the cursor can be positioned in the target foreign language selection field, and the language can be selected to be used by pressing the enter key. Then, by selecting an OK icon provided at the bottom, the selected language can be set as a language used for warning or the like. When the Return icon is selected, the language selection screen is terminated and the menu screen can be returned.

  Information indicating the language selected in this way is registered in, for example, the EEPROM 164 of the mobile phone terminal 1. Then, the request transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 1 to the route search weather information providing server 3X is provided as information specifying the language to be used. Thus, the route search weather information providing server 3X can provide an output message created in a specified language when providing an output message to the mobile phone terminal 1.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 22, for example, suppose that Chinese (Chinese) is selected as a language used when a warning or the like is given. In this case, the overpass guidance including the raining device misplacement warning can be performed in Chinese.

  23 and 24 are diagrams for explaining an example of a warning message when Chinese is selected as the language to be used. Among these, FIG. 23 shows an example of a Chinese transfer guidance message, which indicates Chinese in the meaning of “Next is XX station. Please be careful about getting over.” 24A, B, and C are messages for a Chinese misplacement warning corresponding to the Japanese rain gear misplacement warning shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 9C.

  In this way, it is possible to give a raining device misplacement warning and a carry-over warning depending on the selected language. Note that not only the display message but also the voice message in the selected language can be emitted. For example, since Chinese uses Chinese characters, place names in Japanese may be written using the same Chinese characters in Chinese. However, even though the notation is the same, the pronunciation is almost completely different.

  For example, the notation “Shinjuku” is pronounced “Shinjuk” in Japanese, but “xin su” in Chinese. For this reason, when the misplacement warning or the overpass warning is issued only with the display message, the displayed warning message may be inconsistent with the pronunciation of the Japanese in-house broadcast, which may cause confusion. Therefore, it is possible to realize a better misplacement warning function and a jumpover warning function for foreigners who use the language by performing a misplacement warning and a jumpover warning with a sound message of proper Chinese pronunciation. it can.

  And also in the portable goods warning system of this 2nd Embodiment, the mobile telephone terminal 1 performs the process demonstrated using FIGS. 10-15, and the route search weather information provision server 3X performs FIGS. The process described with reference to FIG. 20 is executed. However, in the second embodiment, the route search weather information providing server 3X performs the processing in step S602 shown in FIG. 18, the processing in steps S702 and S704 shown in FIG. 19, and the processing shown in FIG. In the process of step S801, an output message is formed in a language corresponding to language designation information (selection information) included in the request from the mobile phone terminal 1, and this is provided to the mobile phone terminal 1.

  On the other hand, in the cellular phone terminal 1 that outputs an output message in response to this, in the processing in step S119 in FIG. 12, the processing in step S209 in FIG. 14, and the processing in step S309 in FIG. In response to the output message, an output message in the selected language is output.

[Effect of the second embodiment]
As described above, in the portable product warning system according to the second embodiment, the route search weather information providing server 3X uses the foreign language dictionary 314 of its own device for various outputs in the language selected by the cellular phone terminal 1. A message is formed and can be provided to the mobile phone terminal 1. As a result, one of the navigation services suitable for foreigners visiting Japan can be provided.

[Third Embodiment]
In the first and second embodiments described above, the mobile phone terminal 1 transmits the current location of the mobile phone terminal 1 to the route search weather information providing servers 3 and 3X at predetermined timings. The providing servers 3 and 3X provide navigation information and transfer guidance information according to the current position of the mobile phone terminal 1. That is, in the route search weather information providing servers 3 and 3X, it is detected that the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 has reached the vicinity of the position (transfer position or getting-off position) where the user gets off the predetermined transportation, or has reached the destination. Thus, guidance information corresponding to this is provided to the mobile phone terminal 1. However, it is not limited to this.

  The mobile phone terminal 1 can register the route registration information shown in FIG. 7 in the route registration information memory 151. Therefore, the route registration information of the route followed by the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 is always registered in the route registration information memory 151, and at the time of transfer guidance, the route registration information registered in the route registration information memory 151 is used as a reference. It is also possible for the mobile phone terminal 1 to determine whether or not the vehicle has reached the vicinity of a position (a transfer position or a getting-off position) where the user gets off a predetermined transportation facility.

  That is, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 uses the location information of the route registration information registered in the route registration information memory 151 (transfer location and drop-off location) and the location management server 2 to provide information about the own device. By comparing the position information and the position information of the own device from the GPS unit 131, it is determined in the mobile phone terminal 1 whether or not the vehicle has arrived in the vicinity of the position to get off the predetermined transportation.

  As a result, the control unit 160 of the mobile phone terminal 1 determines that the mobile device has arrived in the vicinity of the position where the mobile device gets off the predetermined transportation, and performs transfer guidance including a warning about leaving the predetermined portable item at that timing. Thus, each part can be controlled. Therefore, after registering the route registration information in the route registration information memory 151 by using the route search service provided by the route search weather information providing servers 3 and 3X, the transfer guidance is provided for the route search weather information providing server 3. It can be performed in the mobile phone terminal 1 without communicating with 3X.

  Note that when the transfer guidance is performed in the mobile phone terminal 1, a base station database may be provided in the mobile phone terminal 1. The base station database in this case stores and holds the base station ID of the base station that communicates with the mobile phone terminal 1 and the installation location of the base station in association with each other. Specifically, the base station database stores, for example, the base station ID and the name of the station where the base station specified by the base station ID is installed in association with each other.

  The base station database also includes information such as the base station ID, the latitude and longitude of the location of the base station specified by the base station ID, the address, the so-called landmark name such as the building where the base station is installed. It is associated. Thereby, it is possible to detect that the vehicle has reached the vicinity of the target station by referring to the base station DB based on the base station ID of the base station that can communicate with the mobile phone terminal 1, or You can detect that you are in the vicinity.

  In other words, even if the location information from the location management server 2 or the location information from the GPS is not used, and it is not necessary to cooperate with the route search weather information providing servers 3 and 3X, the transfer guidance including the misplacement warning may be used. Can be realized relatively easily. Of course, there is a merit that the mobile phone terminal 1 can perform the navigation processing of the walking section in detail and accurately by cooperating with the route search weather information providing servers 3 and 3X.

  In addition, by preparing a dictionary similar to the foreign language dictionary 314 of the route search weather information providing server 3X in the mobile phone terminal 1, the menu used in the mobile phone terminal 1, shown in FIGS. Each input screen and route information can be displayed in the selected language.

In addition, the mobile phone terminal 1 obtains map information corresponding to route registration information in the case of following a target route from the route search weather information providing server 3 and specifies a place affected by the weather on the route. It can also be configured. The mobile phone terminal 1 receives from the route search weather information providing server 3 the provision of weather information at the time when the user who has the mobile phone terminal 1 is located at the specified location or the time when the user thinks that the user is located. It can also be configured to predict (discriminate) the necessity of carrying a portable item.

Thus, in the case of the mobile phone terminal 1 of the third embodiment, the mobile phone terminal 1 has the same configuration as that of the mobile phone terminal 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. It is possible to realize a function as detection means for detecting whether or not the own apparatus has reached a position where there is a high possibility of leaving a predetermined portable item such as a transfer station or an alighting station. Then, the control unit 160 can control the display control unit 112 and the display unit 113, the audio processing unit 114, the speaker 115, and the like, and can realize a function as a warning unit or an output unit that performs various warnings.

[Modifications of First and Second Embodiments]
In the first and second embodiments described above, the navigation process and the transfer guidance process for the walking section have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The cellular phone terminal 1 transmits the current position of its own device to the route search weather information providing servers 3 and 3X at every predetermined timing. For this reason, the mobile phone terminal 1 and the route search weather information providing servers 3 and 3X cooperate to notify the name of the passing station, notify the approximate time required for the transfer station, and to the transfer station. It is also possible to notify the number of stations.

  As described above, even when various guidance is performed in a foreign country, the standard phrases for warning and guidance are prepared in the foreign language dictionary 314 by translating the above 10 languages into a database. Keep it. Then, as described above, by making it possible to select the language to be used from the mobile phone terminal 1, it is possible to output a warning or guidance in the target language.

  In the case of a phrase that does not exist in the foreign language dictionary 314, the route search weather information providing server 3X or the translation software installed in the mobile phone terminal 1 is used to translate it into a specified language and display it, or to emit sound. It is possible to do. In the case of a language that the route search weather information providing server 3X does not support, for example, a translation service provided by a server device on the network 4 is used to provide a target phrase of the target language. It can also be received.

  When translation software is available, the mobile phone terminal 1 has a button for switching between Japanese and the specified language, so that the desired foreign language phrase can be translated into Japanese. It is also possible to use it when asking for guidance from a person.

  In the above-described embodiment, the presence / absence of the rain gear is predicted using the precipitation probability in the weather information, but the present invention is not limited to this. As described above, the presence / absence of a parasol or a hat can be predicted based on the ultraviolet index, and the presence / absence of a muffler or a glove can be predicted based on the temperature and the wind speed. In addition, a misplacement warning can be given to portable items other than rain gear such as parasols, hats, mufflers and gloves. In this case, the target of the misplacement warning is different, and the content of the warning message to be output changes.

[Others]
In the embodiment described above, for example, when the necessity of carrying rain gear as a predetermined portable item is predicted (discriminated), the weather and the probability of precipitation are used. For example, in the case of the above-described embodiment, when the probability of precipitation in a place affected by the coming weather is 70% or more, for example, it is determined that the rain gear needs to be carried, and the reference precipitation probability is It is decided in advance.

  In this case, for example, the reference precipitation probability is determined in advance on the route search weather information providing server 3 side, and this is used. However, the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 can use the mobile phone terminal as necessary. It is also possible to configure so that it can be changed through 1. As described above, the weather information used for predicting the necessity of carrying a predetermined portable item such as the probability of precipitation is determined in advance or set or changed through the cellular phone terminal 1. It is also possible to configure so as to be able to. It is of course possible to register the reference value of the weather information to be used in advance on the mobile phone terminal 1 side and provide it to the route search weather information providing server 3.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where a mobile phone terminal is used has been described as an example. However, the warning device is not limited to the mobile phone terminal, and a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants having a communication function) is provided. It can also be applied to personal information terminals such as That is, the present invention can be applied when using various electronic devices that have a communication function and can receive a route search service from a server device on a network such as the Internet.
