Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for estimating a vehicle on which a user of a mobile terminal is boarded, and more specifically, identification of a user of the mobile terminal on the basis of position information based on GPS and time information based on a train timetable. TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

  Techniques for measuring the position of a railway vehicle or a streetcar using GPS are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-284013 (Patent Document 1), Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-247217 (Patent Document 2), and the like.

  For example, in the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-284013 (Patent Document 1), observation data is received from a GPS satellite, and the position coordinates at a plurality of points provided on the trajectory of the vehicle and the trajectory at the position coordinates are determined. Corresponding directions are stored as track database, navigation calculation by inertial navigation using vehicle speed and trajectory direction is performed, and position calculation by GPS navigation using observation data is complemented to calculate vehicle position That's it. According to the present invention, the position of a vehicle such as a railway vehicle traveling on a track can be accurately measured at low cost without using an expensive angular velocity sensor such as a gyroscope.

  These vehicle positioning technologies are common in that a GPS receiver is mounted on a vehicle and GPS information related to the vehicle is temporally tracked. In other words, these methods merely measure the position of a specific vehicle. Therefore, for example, when a passenger changes a vehicle, the position of the vehicle after the change cannot be tracked. In other words, with the conventional vehicle positioning technology, it is impossible to track which vehicle a specific passenger traveling on the vehicle is in and what operating state the vehicle is in.

Of course, if a terminal device such as a telephone carried by a passenger is used as a GPS receiver, the position of a specific passenger can be tracked. However, in the conventional method, positioning is performed only by tracking GPS information. Therefore, if a large number of passengers try to track which vehicle on which route, the system becomes large and complicated. Inevitably, the processing cost required for positioning also becomes large.

  The present invention focuses on the fact that railcars and trams are easy to operate according to a predetermined timetable, in other words, the position and time at which the vehicle should be stopped can be predicted approximately accurately. For such vehicles, private cars and buses frequently stop outside their original destinations, as well as various factors such as the occurrence of traffic jams and some roads that are scheduled to run closed. As the driving situation can change greatly, it is practically difficult to operate according to the timetable. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an outline of a configuration example of a boarding vehicle estimation system using the boarding vehicle estimation device of the present invention. In this boarding vehicle estimation system, a mobile terminal 200 having a GPS function carried by passengers of a vehicle and capable of detecting a position using a GPS satellite 300 and the boarding vehicle estimation device 400 of the present invention include a network 100. Can communicate with each other. The boarding vehicle estimation device 400 estimates a vehicle on which a passenger who is a user of the mobile terminal 200 is on the basis of a moving speed of the mobile terminal 200 and a train timetable, with a configuration described later.

  Note that this figure shows a mode in which the boarding vehicle estimation device 400 can transmit and receive data between the train timetable data server 500 and the information providing device 600 via the network 100. Therefore, the boarding vehicle estimation apparatus 400 receives data transmitted from the train timetable data server 500 and is always in a state where the latest train timetable can be referred to. Further, the information providing apparatus 600 can provide useful information for the passenger to the portable terminal 200 of the specific passenger who is on the vehicle estimated by the boarding vehicle estimation apparatus 400.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining a configuration example of the boarding vehicle estimation device 400 of the present invention. The boarding vehicle estimation device 400 includes a reception unit 11 and a transmission unit 12 for performing transmission / reception with the network 100, and the reception unit 11 indicates the GPS positioning result of the mobile terminal 200 carried by the passenger of the vehicle along with the time as position information. As received. The train timetable database 15 provided in the boarding vehicle estimation device 400 stores the train timetable data stored in the train timetable data server 500. When there is a change in the train schedule, etc. In response to data transmission from the train timetable data server 500, the latest train timetable is stored as data.

  The information management unit 13 includes a storage unit and a calculation unit (not shown), and manages the GPS positioning result of the mobile terminal 200 received at regular intervals via the reception unit 11 as position information together with the reception time. Then, the moving speed of the mobile terminal 200 is obtained based on the position information.

  The determination unit 14 determines whether the vehicle is in a traveling state or a stopped state, and determines the stop station when it is determined that the vehicle is in a stopped state. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the moving speed of the mobile terminal 200 obtained by the information management unit 13 is less than a predetermined value, and if it is equal to or higher than the “predetermined value”, it is determined that the vehicle is in a traveling state. And the reception of the GPS positioning result of the portable terminal 200 by the above-mentioned receiving part 11 is continued. On the other hand, if it is less than the “predetermined value”, it is determined that the vehicle is in a stopped state, and the nearest station of the vehicle is determined as a stop station based on the PGS positioning result included in the position information.

  Here, the above-mentioned “predetermined value” is a value that is considered appropriate for determining whether the vehicle is in a running state or a stopped state. This value may be zero km per hour, but the passengers in the stopped vehicle are not necessarily in a stopped state. Accordingly, if the “predetermined value” is set to zero km per hour, it is determined that the vehicle is in a traveling state even when a passenger who is a user of the mobile terminal 200 is moving in a stopped vehicle. It becomes. In order to avoid such inconvenience, for example, it is preferable to set the “predetermined value” to 4 km / h or the like.

  The result obtained by such a determination operation is sent to the data processing unit 16 and stored in association with each vehicle. The data processing unit 16 then detects the position information of the vehicle (that is, the two stop stations and their stop times) and the train timetable when the vehicle on which the user of the mobile terminal 200 is boarding stops at two different stations. To estimate the vehicle on which the passenger is aboard.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the outline of each process executed by the boarding vehicle estimation apparatus (computer having a receiving unit and a calculating unit) according to the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 3, the GPS positioning result of the mobile terminal 200 carried by the passenger of the vehicle is received as position information along with the time by the receiving unit 11 (S101). The GPS positioning result of the portable terminal 200 received at regular intervals through the receiving unit 11 is managed as position information together with the reception time by the information management unit 13, and the movement of the portable terminal 200 is performed based on the position information. The speed is determined (S102).

  The determination unit 14 compares the moving speed v of the mobile terminal 200 obtained by the information management unit 13 with a predetermined value (S103), and if it is equal to or greater than the “predetermined value x” (S103: Yes), the vehicle is running. Therefore, the acquisition of the moving speed of the mobile terminal 200 is continued (S102).

  On the other hand, if the moving speed v of the mobile terminal 200 obtained by the information management unit 13 is less than the “predetermined value x” (S103: No), the determination unit 14 determines that the vehicle is in a stopped state, and Based on the PGS positioning result included in the information, the nearest station of the vehicle is determined as a stop station (S104).

  Such a stop station determination is performed until it is determined that the vehicle has stopped at two different stations. When only one stop station information is obtained (S105: No), the moving speed of the mobile terminal 200 is determined. Repeated acquisition of information.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the vehicle has stopped at two different stations (S105: Yes), the position information of the vehicle (that is, the two stop stations and their stop times) is checked against the train timetable (S106), and the passengers Is estimated (S107).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the above-described estimation of the boarding vehicle more specifically by way of example, and here, four cases are shown.

  In the case of FIG. 4A, the user of the mobile terminal 200 is in the vehicle X, stops at the A station at 14:00, and stops at the B station at 14:10. As a result of the above-mentioned GPS positioning, it can be seen that the station A stopped at 14:00 and the station B stopped at 14:10. Assuming that the vehicle X is operating normally, if the result is collated with the timetable data, the vehicle that satisfies the two conditions at the same time is only the vehicle X. Therefore, the user of the portable terminal 200 can use the vehicle X It can be estimated that the car is on board.

  As a result of the comparison with the timetable data, if the operation schedule is normal, the vehicle X should stop at 13:57 at station A and 14:07 at station B. In this case, since it is understood that the vehicle X is operating with a delay of 3 minutes, the delay information may be transmitted to the network together with the estimation result of the boarding vehicle. In this case, the above-described boarding vehicle estimation device is further provided with an information provision generation unit that generates vehicle delay information based on the collation result between the position information and the train timetable.

  In the case of FIG. 4B, as in the case of FIG. 4A, the user of the mobile terminal 200 is in the vehicle X, stops at the station A at 14:00, and stops at the station B at 14:00. The car stops at 10 minutes, but the vehicle Y also stops at B station at 14:10. However, this vehicle Y does not stop at the A station and stops at the C station at 14:02 before the stop of the B station.

  If these results are compared with the timetable data, the vehicle Y does not satisfy the two conditions of stopping at the station A at 14:00 and stopping at the station B at 14:10. Only X satisfies the above two conditions. Therefore, it can be estimated that the user of the mobile terminal 200 is in the vehicle X.

  In the case of FIG. 4C, as in the case of FIG. 4A, the user of the mobile terminal 200 is in the vehicle X, stops at the station A at 14:00, and stops at the station B at 14:00. Although it stops at 10 minutes, the vehicle Z also stops at B station at 14:10. However, the vehicle Z is a high-speed vehicle that does not stop at the station A originally.

  If these results are compared with the timetable data, the vehicle Z does not satisfy the two conditions of stopping at the station A at 14:00 and stopping at the station B at 14:10. Only X satisfies the above two conditions. Therefore, it can be estimated that the user of the mobile terminal 200 is in the vehicle X.

  In the case of FIG. 4D, the user of the mobile terminal 200 is in the vehicle X and stops at the station A at 14:00, but stops at 14:07 near the level crossing in front of the station B. ing. Since the determination unit 14 of the boarding vehicle estimation apparatus 400 determines the nearest station of the stopped vehicle as a “stop station”, even in this case, the stop stations of the vehicle X are determined as the A station and the B station. .

  However, when these results are collated with the timetable data, there is no vehicle that stops at the station A at 14:00 and stops at the station B at 14:07, but the vehicle closest to the condition is the vehicle X Therefore, it can be estimated that the user of the mobile terminal 200 is in the vehicle X.

  The vehicle X does not actually stop at the B station, but stops near the railroad crossing before the B station. That is, the stop position of the vehicle X is different from the position of the B station determined as “stop station”. In such a case, it is expected that some kind of accident occurs at the railroad crossing and the vehicle is stopped due to the accident. Therefore, it is assumed that the information provision generation unit that generates vehicle abnormality information is provided in the boarding vehicle estimation device, May be transmitted to the network together with the estimation result of the boarding vehicle.

  According to the boarding vehicle estimation system of the present invention, for example, the following service is also possible for passengers.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the boarding vehicle estimation device 400 and the information providing device 600 can communicate with each other via the network 100. Therefore, it is possible to provide a service in which the information providing apparatus 600 stores, for example, information around each station in association with the station name, selects information around the station where passengers get off, and transmits the information to the mobile terminal 200. .

  FIG. 5 is a display example of station peripheral information transmitted to the mobile terminal 200 when such a service is provided. For example, if the B station in FIG. 4 is Tokyo station, the information around the Tokyo station is transmitted to the portable terminal of the passenger of the vehicle X stopped at the B station.

  On the menu screen (FIG. 5A), a list of “useful information around Tokyo Station” is displayed, which is classified into genres such as “shopping”, “gourmet”, and “entertainment”. For example, if the passenger selects “Events” from this menu screen, a list of events held around Tokyo Station will be displayed. Event information with a title such as “Middle!” Is provided (FIG. 5B).

  In this example, vehicle X stops at Tokyo Station at 14:10, and the first part of the piano concert will be held from 15:00 in the ○ △ × building, a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Station South Exit. Even when you get off at Tokyo Station and head for the concert, you will be in time.

  If “information about the next station” is selected from the menu screen, for example, it is possible to receive provision of useful information around Yurakucho Station.

  The boarding vehicle estimation apparatus and boarding vehicle estimation system using the same according to the present invention can be in various forms.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the second configuration example of the boarding vehicle estimation system of the present invention.

Provided to the mobile terminal 200 of a specific passenger.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the outline of each process executed by the boarding vehicle estimation apparatus (computer having a receiving means and a computing means) according to the second aspect of the present invention. The processing contents from steps S101 to S107 are as follows. As already explained.

When the passenger boarding vehicle is estimated in step S107 (S107), the provision information generation unit 18 searches for peripheral information associated with each station stored in the provision information database 17 (S109), and the vehicle stops. Station peripheral information is generated (S110).
The result is transmitted to the portable terminal 200 via the network 100 by the transmission unit 12.
