  By the way, with the rapid spread of mobile terminals, the Internet, navigation systems, etc., the use of GPS is expanding in various scenes. As a result, there is an increasing need for improving the convenience of services using GPS among users of mobile terminals equipped with a GPS function. As an example of a service using the GPS function of a mobile terminal, when the current position of the mobile terminal is periodically measured and the current position that has been measured approaches a destination set in advance by the user, a message to that effect is sent to the user. There are known services for notifying and providing information related to the destination. However, in such a service and the configuration of the navigation device described in Patent Document 1, since the user has to set a destination and a transmission point in advance, the setting work is likely to be complicated. There was a problem that related information was not available for the location.

  Therefore, it is conceivable that related information is automatically transmitted based on the current position of the user for a predetermined facility or place that is not set by the user. However, in this case, the related information is transmitted to all users in the vicinity of the predetermined location. Depending on the relationship between the predetermined location and the user, the related information may be useful or unnecessary. In some cases. For example, when the predetermined place is a tourist spot, sending tourist information to a user who has visited the tourist spot increases convenience for the user, while a user living in the tourist spot is touristed. Sending information will adversely affect user convenience. In addition, for example, the content of information necessary for a place is often different between a user who always visits a place and a user who happens to visit the place. Therefore, it is desirable that appropriate information corresponding to the current position of the user can be transmitted in consideration of the behavior pattern of the user's daily life, that is, the daily life zone (hereinafter referred to as “daily zone”).

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an everyday area setting device that can automatically set an everyday area of a user.

Distribution means for allocating the time between the positioning points as a staying time to the mesh area on the connection connecting the first positioning point and the second positioning point according to the allocation condition, and based on the allocated allocation time The stay time in the mesh region is calculated.

  In the case where at least one of the time between the positioning points is less than a predetermined time and the distance between the positioning points is less than the predetermined distance is established, the distribution means determines the first positioning point from the time between the positioning points. The movement time subtracted time obtained by subtracting the movement time from the second positioning point to the second positioning point is distributed to the first mesh area to which the first positioning point belongs, and the movement time is substantially equal to the mesh area on the connection. It is characterized by allocating to.

  In the case where at least one of the time between the positioning points is less than a predetermined time and the distance between the positioning points is not less than a predetermined distance is established, the distribution means determines the first positioning from the time between the positioning points. The movement time subtracted time obtained by subtracting the movement time from the point to the second positioning point is allocated to the first mesh area to which the first positioning point belongs, and the movement time is not allocated to the mesh area on the connection. It is characterized by that.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each description, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

[Configuration of daily life setting system]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a schematic configuration of a daily area setting system according to the present embodiment. The daily zone setting system (daily zone setting device) 10 is connected to a mobile mobile terminal device (hereinafter referred to as “mobile terminal”) 20 via a network N.

  The daily zone setting system 10 includes a main control unit 101, a communication unit 102, a positioning information storage unit 103, a basic data generation unit 104, a daily mesh generation unit 105 (stay time / positioning count totaling unit 106, distribution complementing unit 107), It mainly includes various function realizing means such as a period-specific mesh generation means 108, a daily area setting means 109, a positioning information DB 110, a basic data DB 111, a daily mesh DB 112, a period-specific mesh DB 113, and an daily area DB 114.

  Although not shown in the daily zone setting system 10, a dedicated or general-purpose device including a CPU, a memory such as a ROM and a RAM, an external storage device for storing various information, an input / output interface, a communication interface, and a bus connecting them. For example, when the CPU executes a predetermined program stored in a ROM or the like, it functions as each of the function realizing means. The daily zone setting system 10 may be configured by a single computer or may be configured by a plurality of computers distributed on a network.

  The main control means 101 controls the overall operation of the daily life setting system 10 and the operation of each means described above. The communication means 102 is an interface for transmitting and receiving various types of information by communicating with the mobile terminal 20 via the network N. The communication unit 102 also functions as a reception unit that receives positioning information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20.

  The positioning information storage means 103 stores the positioning information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in the positioning information DB 110. The positioning information includes a positioning point (coordinate information) where the current position of the mobile terminal 20 is positioned, a positioning time of the positioning point, and user identification information (ID) that uniquely identifies the user of the mobile terminal 20. included. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the positioning information DB 110. According to the figure, the positioning information DB 110 stores data such as “positioning time”, “user ID”, “latitude”, “longitude” in association with each other as a history of positioning information. The positioning information stored in the positioning information DB 110 may include a “positioning level”. Here, the “positioning level” represents the high reliability of the positioning point, that is, the high positioning accuracy of the current position in the mobile terminal 20. Further, positioning information may be generated and registered based on a user operation such as “check-in” by the SNS application. Such positioning information by user operation can be handled as information with a high positioning level.

  When only the positioning information that is automatically transmitted periodically is used, it is possible to create a daily area that does not depend on the user's intention. On the other hand, if the positioning information by the user operation is included, it is possible to create a daily area in line with the user intention. Even in the case of automatic transmission, the positioning information may be transmitted periodically regardless of whether the user has moved.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the basic data generation unit 104 generates basic data in which a positioning point and a positioning time are associated with a corresponding mesh region of the map for each user and for each positioning date based on the positioning information stored in the positioning information DB 110. (See FIGS. 3B and 6). A mesh area is a plurality of divided areas obtained by dividing a map based on latitude and longitude, and the size of the divided area can be set appropriately according to specifications and designs (for example, users stay frequently). If you want to specify an area, you can set the size larger, while if you want to identify stores that users visit frequently, you can set the size smaller.) The shape of the mesh region can be, for example, a region surrounded by a polygon such as a quadrangle, a hexagon, a rhombus, or a curve such as a circle. Further, the size of the mesh area may not be constant. For example, the urban mesh may be made smaller (finer). You can also change the size of the mesh for each region based on demographic information (for example, make the mesh in a region with a large population smaller), or set the size based on city classification, residential land type, daily life information, etc. Or you may. The size may be set based on positioning information for a certain period (for example, August, weekday morning, etc.) or current positioning information. Specifically, the mesh may be increased if the number of visitors in a certain period is small, or the mesh may be increased if the positioning accuracy is low. Even if the number of visitors is large, it is desirable to increase the mesh if the positioning accuracy is low. The corresponding mesh area means a mesh area to which the coordinate information of the positioning point belongs. The generated basic data is stored in the basic data DB 111.

  FIG. 3B is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of such basic data DB 111. According to the figure, the basic data DB 111 stores data such as “user ID”, “positioning date”, “mesh number”, and “positioning time” in association with each other. Further, when the “positioning level” is included in the positioning information DB 110, the “positioning level” may also be stored in the basic data DB 111. The “mesh number” stores identification information for uniquely identifying a mesh area. On the other hand, FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining how basic data is generated based on positioning information stored in the positioning information DB 110. In the figure, regarding the positioning date (2010/03/03) of the user (Mr. AAAA), basic data B1 in which positioning points and positioning times are associated with each mesh area is described as the user's action trajectory on the corresponding day. Yes.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the daily mesh generation means 105 stores data representing the number of times of positioning in each mesh region and the user's stay time for each predetermined unit period (for example, 1 day) for each user (hereinafter, “mesh data for each unit period” Or “daily mesh data”) (see FIGS. 4A and 7). The predetermined unit period is a minimum unit period for generating mesh data, and can be set as appropriate according to specifications and designs. In the present embodiment, one day is set, but the period is not particularly limited. For example, half a day may be set. Moreover, the daily mesh generation means 105 can create daily mesh data according to the positioning level when the basic data DB 111 includes “positioning level”. The daily mesh data generated according to the positioning level is stored in the daily mesh DB 112. 4A and 15A are diagrams illustrating an example of the data structure of the daily mesh DB 112. FIG. FIG. 4A is an example of daily mesh data using data of all positioning levels, and FIG. 15A is an example of daily mesh data using only high positioning level data whose positioning level is a predetermined value or more. . According to FIG. 4 (A) and FIG. 15 (A), the daily mesh DB 112 corresponds to data such as “user ID”, “positioning date”, “mesh number”, “stay time”, “number of times of positioning”. It is stored with. On the other hand, FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining how daily mesh data is generated based on basic data stored in the basic data DB 111. FIG. 4A shows mesh data M1 in which the stay time and the number of positioning times are associated with each mesh region for the positioning date (2010/03/03) of the user (Mr. AAAA). In the present embodiment, the case where the number of positioning times and the stay time are calculated and associated for each mesh region has been described, but only the number of positioning times or the stay time may be calculated and associated.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the daily mesh generation unit 105 specifically includes a stay time / positioning count totaling unit 106 and a distribution complementing unit 107.

  Based on the basic data stored in the basic data DB 111, the staying time / positioning number counting means 106 calculates the number of positioning points and the staying time of the user of the mobile terminal for each predetermined unit period based on the basic data stored in the basic data DB 111. Each mesh region is associated with the calculated positioning frequency and stay time. The number of positioning times in each mesh area is calculated by summing the number of times positioning has been performed in the corresponding mesh area. The staying time in each mesh area is calculated by summing the distribution times allocated to the mesh area by the distribution complementing means 107 described later. Further, as described above, when daily mesh data is created according to the positioning level, the stay time / position count counting means 106 calculates the number of positioning times and the stay time using only the basic data of the high positioning level. To do. On the other hand, when daily mesh data is created using all basic data regardless of the positioning level, the staying time / positioning count totaling means 106 is configured to store all basic data (low positioning level data and high positioning level data). The number of positioning and staying time are calculated using the data.

  The distribution complementing means 107 selects the first positioning point and the second positioning point arranged next to the first positioning point on the time axis from the positioning points associated with the mesh region. The first positioning point is also called a pre-movement point, and the second positioning point is also called a post-movement point. Next, the time from the first positioning time of the first positioning point to the second positioning time of the second positioning point (hereinafter referred to as “time between positioning points”), the second positioning point, and the first positioning point (Hereinafter, referred to as “distance between positioning points”). Then, an allocation condition is determined based on the time between the positioning points and the distance between the positioning points, and the time between the positioning points is set on the movement path from the first positioning point to the second positioning point according to the determined allocation condition. Allocate to the mesh area (including the first mesh area of the first positioning point and the second mesh area of the second positioning point). The allocation includes allocation of 0 hours. In this case, the allocation is substantially the same as not allocation.

  The distribution conditions can be set as appropriate according to the specifications and design, and there is no particular limitation on the contents thereof, but in this embodiment, according to the transmission conditions and configuration of positioning information from the mobile terminal, as follows: Allocation conditions are set. Specifically, the mobile terminal 20 according to the present embodiment transmits positioning information to the daily area setting system 10 at a predetermined transmission time interval (for example, 5 minutes). The positioning information is not transmitted for the reason. That is, when the user is in the radio wave range, the positioning information from the mobile terminal 20 is transmitted at a predetermined transmission time interval only when the user is moving. Therefore, the user's stay at the first positioning point, which is the point before moving, is the time obtained by excluding the moving time from the time between the measuring points between the first positioning time and the second positioning time (hereinafter referred to as “moving time subtracted time”). Therefore, the movement time subtracted time is allocated to the mesh area of the first positioning point. The positioning information is not limited to information automatically transmitted at a predetermined transmission interval as described above, and may include positioning information by a user operation such as check-in.

  Further, the distribution may be controlled based on at least one attribute of the first positioning point and the second positioning point. The attributes of the positioning point include the type of facility or area to which the positioning point belongs. The distribution complementing means 107 determines what distribution is performed based on these attributes. The attribute of a positioning point can be specified by referring to map data, for example, determining a polygon on the map data to which the positioning point belongs, and determining a facility or area corresponding to the corresponding polygon. Or when the 1st positioning point is a positioning point by a user's check-in operation, it can specify by judging the institution and area checked in.

  In addition, as a method of distribution control, an upper limit may be provided for the stay time allocated to the mesh area of the first positioning point according to the genre of the facility or area to which the first positioning point belongs. That is, when the travel time subtracted time exceeds a predetermined upper limit value, the upper limit stay time may be allocated to the mesh area of the first positioning point, and the remaining time may not be allocated to any mesh. . For example, when the attribute of the first positioning point corresponds to a hotel, the upper limit of the staying time is set to 12 hours, and in the case of a restaurant, the example is set to 1 hour.

  Further, when both the first positioning point and the second positioning point are positioning points obtained by the user's check-in operation, the first time is determined without allocating all the movement time subtracted time to the mesh area of the first positioning point. You may equally divide into the mesh area | region of a positioning point and a 2nd positioning point. Further, the distribution ratio may be determined according to the genre of the facility corresponding to the checked-in position. Further, the distribution ratio may be determined based on the positioning levels of both positioning points.

  Also, when the positioning time interval between the first positioning point and the second positioning point is less than the predetermined value, or when the distance between the positioning points is less than the predetermined value, the second positioning point is rounded down to the next positioning point. Distribution may be performed between the first positioning point and the first positioning point.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the travel time is set to 5 minutes and the travel time subtracted time is calculated. However, the distribution method of travel time and stay time (travel time subtracted time) is not limited to this. I can't. For example, a predetermined ratio (X%) of the time between measurement points may be assigned to the travel time or the stay time. In this case, the predetermined ratio may be determined depending on whether the measurement is transmitted at a predetermined interval during the movement of the user as in the present embodiment or by a user operation.

  Further, the measurement is not limited to the presence or absence of the user's movement, and may be transmitted at a predetermined time interval. Also in this case, a predetermined ratio (X%) of the time between measurement points can be assigned to the travel time or the stay time.

  Next, when it is possible to estimate the user's movement content (moving means and movement route) between the first positioning point and the second positioning point (when there is continuity between the first positioning point and the second positioning point) ) Distributes the movement time substantially evenly to the mesh region located on the estimated movement route (hereinafter referred to as “estimated movement route”) from the first positioning point to the second positioning point (first distribution condition). ). That is, the stay time is supplemented for the mesh region on the estimated movement route. On the other hand, when the user's movement content between the first positioning point and the second positioning point cannot be estimated (when there is no continuity between the first positioning point and the second positioning point), the mesh area of the movement time No allocation is made (0 hours are allocated) (second allocation condition). That is, the stay time in the mesh area is not supplemented.

  The method for determining whether or not the movement content can be estimated can be appropriately set according to the specification and design, and the content thereof is not particularly limited. For example, the time between positioning points and / or the distance between positioning points is a predetermined reference time. If it is less than the distance and / or less than the predetermined reference distance, it is assumed that the movement path of the user can be estimated by assuming that the movement is by walking or the like. On the other hand, when it is not less than the predetermined reference time and / or less than the predetermined reference distance, it can be assumed that the user's movement route cannot be estimated by considering that the movement is, for example, when using the subway.

  In addition, the calculation method of the travel time can be appropriately set according to the specification and design, and the content thereof is not particularly limited. For example, a method of using a transmission time interval of the mobile terminal 20 or a distance between positioning points And a method of calculating the travel time from a predetermined speed according to the travel means (eg, train, car, walk). In the present embodiment, in the case of the first distribution condition, the transmission time interval (for example, 5 minutes) of the positioning information in the mobile terminal 20 is set as the travel time. In the case of the second distribution condition, the travel time from the first positioning point to the second positioning point is calculated based on the distance between the positioning points and a predetermined speed (for example, 30 km) set in advance. Note that the predetermined hourly speed can be appropriately set according to the estimated moving means and the like. For example, for the first distribution condition, the traveling time may be calculated using the hourly walking speed. Further, the walking speed for each user, the speed when moving by car, and the like may be stored in the database, and the moving time may be calculated using a value unique to the user. The user-specific speed may be set by the user, or may be estimated in the daily life setting system. As an estimation method, for example, the moving speed may be calculated using a moving distance and a time interval calculated from positioning information between two points. Moreover, when the user's attributes (age, sex, etc.) are known, it may be estimated from those information.

  Also, the method for specifying the movement route can be set as appropriate according to the specification and design, and the content thereof is not particularly limited. In the present embodiment, however, the connection is made by connecting the first positioning point and the second positioning point. Represents the travel route. In FIG. 8A, the connection is shown as a straight line, but the connection is not limited to a straight line, and has, for example, a shape along an arbitrary movement route estimated according to a road, a route, a building, or the like. be able to. Further, among the mesh regions located on the connection, mesh regions other than the mesh regions of the first positioning point and the second positioning point are referred to as complementary mesh regions.

  Further, the complementary mesh region may include surrounding meshes centered on each mesh on the movement path. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the mesh region may be set to a substantially elliptical shape having the first positioning point P1 and the second positioning point P2 as both ends of the major axis. Further, a complementary mesh region may be set including a positioning point other than the first and second positioning points (for example, a positioning point immediately before the first positioning point).

  In addition, since the daily mesh generation means 105 manages the positioning information for each predetermined unit period, when the first positioning point and the second positioning point cross the day (reference time (eg, 0: 00/24 hours)). ). That is, the first positioning point (hereinafter referred to as “first positioning point”) and the last positioning point (hereinafter referred to as “last positioning point”) in the unit period before the movement to be combined. A positioning point or a post-movement positioning point belongs to another day. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as the third distribution condition, for the first positioning point, since the corresponding pre-movement positioning point belongs to another day, the time from the reference time (for example, 0:00) to the positioning time of the first positioning point. Time is allocated to the mesh area of the first positioning point as stay time. For the last positioning point, since the corresponding post-movement positioning point belongs to another day, the time from the positioning time of the last positioning point to the reference time (for example, 24:00) is displayed in the mesh area of the last positioning point. To distribute. In the third distribution condition, the maximum time allocated to the mesh area can be set, and the content thereof is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, a maximum of 6 hours is set.

  FIG. 8A is a diagram for explaining a state in which the stay time is distributed according to the first distribution condition. In the figure, first, the movement time subtracted time (5 minutes (300 minutes) obtained by subtracting the movement time (5 minutes) from the time between measurement points (10 minutes) between the first positioning point and the second positioning point. Second)) is distributed to the mesh area of the first positioning point. Next, in order to supplement the stay time in the mesh area between the first positioning point and the second positioning point, the moving time (5 minutes) is set in the six mesh areas located on the connection between the first positioning point and the second positioning point. ) Is distributed substantially evenly (in 50 seconds increments).

  FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating a state in which the stay time is distributed according to the second distribution condition. In the figure, first, the movement time (20 minutes) between the first positioning point and the second positioning point is calculated from the distance between positioning points (10 km) and a predetermined speed (eg, 30 km), and the time between the measuring points is calculated. The movement time subtracted time (100 minutes) obtained by subtracting the movement time (20 minutes) is distributed to the mesh area of the first positioning point. Here, since the mesh region located between the first positioning point and the second positioning point is not complemented, the travel time is not allocated.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the stay time is distributed according to the third distribution condition. In the figure, the first positioning point (positioning time 7:30) is allocated 6 hours which is the maximum time, and the last positioning point (positioning time: 23:30) is from the corresponding positioning time to 0:00. 30 minutes are allocated.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the period-specific mesh generation means 108 aggregates the number of positionings, the staying time, and the number of stays included in the mesh data for each unit period for each predetermined counting period, and counts the number of positionings and stays for each mesh area. Aggregated period-specific mesh data (also referred to as “period-specific mesh data”) in which the time and the number of stay days are associated is generated (see FIG. 10). The predetermined counting period can be set as appropriate according to the design and specifications, and the contents of the period are not particularly limited. For example, the counting period such as the latest 7 days, the latest 30 days, the latest 180 months, the latest 365 days, etc. Can be set. A plurality of total periods may be set at the same time. If mesh data by aggregation period already exists, daily mesh data for the newly added target date (for example, the latest positioning date) and the subtraction target date (for example: the oldest positioning date in the existing aggregation period) Is read from the daily mesh DB 112 and the stay time, the number of positioning times, and the number of stay days are added for each mesh region, while the stay time, the number of positioning times, and the number of stay days are subtracted for each mesh region. . FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a state where mesh data for each aggregation period is generated from mesh data for each unit period. This figure shows a state in which the stay time, the number of times of positioning, and the number of stay days are associated with each mesh area in the mesh data M6 by the total period generated from the mesh data M5 by the unit period. In the present embodiment, the case where the number of positioning times, the staying time, and the number of positioning days are calculated and associated for each mesh region is described. However, any one or two of the positioning times, the staying time, and the positioning days are described. May be calculated and associated with each other.

  The daily sphere setting unit 109 selects a mesh region in which any one of the number of positioning times, the staying time, and the number of staying included in the mesh data for each counting period or an arbitrary combination of two or more thereof is a predetermined threshold value or more. By extracting, the user's daily area is set (FIGS. 4B and 4C, FIG. 11).

  FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating an example of daily life conditions. Although the contents according to the specification design can be set in the daily sphere conditions, and there is no particular limitation, in the figure, the daily sphere types and conditions are stored in association with each other. Specifically, “Aggregate Period”, “Number of Stays”, “Stay Time”, and “Number of Positioning” are set for Daily Area A, and “Target Count Period”, “Number of Days for Stay” are set for Daily Area B. ”,“ Staying time ”, and“ number of positioning times ”are set, and“ daily counting period ”,“ number of staying days ”, and“ number of positioning times ”are set in the daily life zone C. Further, for each item, an arbitrary period and the number of days, time, and number of times as a threshold are set for each type of daily area. As shown in the figure, the conditions for the daily life can be set according to the type of the daily life to be extracted. For example, it is possible to specify the commute route if you do not consider the stay time and the number of positionings with emphasis on the stay days, and if you do not consider the stay days with emphasis on the stay time, the number of visits is small It is possible to specify a place where he / she stays long (eg, his / her home). In addition, if you set a long period for the target aggregation period, you can prevent the daily area from disappearing when you go on a long trip or a business trip, while if you set a short period for the target aggregation period, It can be easily identified.

  In addition, when creating the daily sphere for each positioning level using the mesh data for each counting period (daily mesh data) corresponding to the positioning level, the daily sphere conditions may be provided according to the positioning level. . The accuracy of everyday areas created using positioning information with a low positioning level is low. Therefore, when setting a fine daily area (such as a narrow range) such as a commuting route, it is desirable to use only positioning information of a high positioning level. On the other hand, when setting a relatively wide range of daily life including a holiday action range and a travel destination, data of a low positioning level can also be used. FIG. 15B is a diagram illustrating an example of a daily sphere condition when the daily sphere is set using daily mesh data including only data with a high positioning level as illustrated in FIG. 15A. In this way, different daily sphere conditions may be set according to the positioning level.

  FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating an example of the set daily sphere. In the figure, for each user ID, the type of everyday area and the mesh number are stored in association with each other. According to the figure, it can be seen that the mesh number of the set daily sphere differs depending on the type of daily sphere.

  FIG. 15C is an example of a daily area created by applying the daily area conditions of FIG. 15B to daily mesh data including only data with a high positioning level shown in FIG. 15A. FIG.

  Instead of the mesh number or together with the mesh number, a specific address, facility, building name, route, etc. in the mesh may be stored in association with the type of daily life. Judgment of facilities, etc. is based on conditions such as when the overlap between the mesh and the polygon representing the facility is greater than a certain value, or when the distance between the center of the mesh and the representative point of the polygon is less than a certain value, etc. It can be carried out. For example, if Tokyo Tower and the types of daily life are stored in association with each other, it is possible to extract users who regularly use or pass through Tokyo Tower. In addition, meshes whose positioning level is lower than a certain level may be excluded according to the type of everyday area.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the setting of the daily sphere based on the mesh data for each counting period. In the figure, from the mesh data M7 for the most recent 30 days, when the daily sphere is set by extracting a mesh area that matches the condition of “stay for 300 minutes or more and 3 days or more”, or the mesh data M8 for the most recent 7 days Shows a case where the daily sphere is set by extracting a mesh region that matches the condition of “stay for 60 minutes or longer and 2 days or longer”. A plurality of daily spheres can be set, and the daily sphere can be further subdivided by referring to the values of stay time and stay days of the extracted mesh area. For example, a mesh area with high values can be judged as home or office, a mesh area with many days but a short stay time can be judged as a transfer station on a commuting route, or a mesh area with few days but a long stay time Can be determined as a user's favorite store.

[Configuration of mobile terminal]
Returning to FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 20 will be described. As the mobile terminal 20, for example, a conventional terminal device having a function of uploading positioning information obtained by measuring the current position at predetermined time intervals using GPS such as a mobile phone, a PDA, and a personal computer can be applied. In FIG. 1, one mobile terminal 20 is illustrated, but a plurality of mobile terminals 20 can be connected to the daily area setting system 10 according to the usage mode.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 20 includes various function realization means such as a main control means 201, a communication means 202, a display means 203, an operation means 204, a storage means 205, a current position positioning means 206, and a positioning information transmission means 207. Prepare for the main.

  The main control unit 201 includes a CPU (not shown) and a processor including a memory such as a ROM and a RAM, and controls the operation of each unit of the portable terminal 20 by the CPU executing a predetermined program stored in the ROM. . The communication unit 202 is an interface for transmitting and receiving various types of information to and from the daily area setting system 10 via the network N. The display unit 203 is a display that displays information such as characters and images, and the operation unit 204 is a button or a touch panel that receives an operation instruction from the user. The storage unit 205 is a memory as a storage device that stores various programs and data.

  The current position positioning means 206 includes, for example, a GPS receiver, and measures the current position (latitude / longitude) of the mobile terminal 20 by receiving and processing GPS satellite signals at predetermined reception intervals.

  The positioning information transmitting unit 207 transmits positioning information including the positioning point and positioning time determined by the current position positioning unit 206 and the user ID of the user who owns the mobile terminal 20 to the daily area setting system 10. The positioning information can be appropriately set according to the specification / design. However, as described above, in this embodiment, when the user is moving, the positioning information is transmitted according to a predetermined transmission interval. It is configured as follows. Whether or not the user is moving can be determined, for example, by applying a conventional technique using an acceleration sensor (not shown).

  The network N is a communication line for transmitting and receiving information between the daily area setting system 10 and the mobile terminal 20. For example, it may be any of the Internet, a LAN, a dedicated line, a packet communication network, a telephone line, a corporate network, other communication lines, combinations thereof, and the like, regardless of whether they are wired or wireless.

[Daily service area setting process]
Next, an outline of the operation of the daily area setting system 10 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 5, 12, and 13. In addition, each processing step to be described later can be executed in any order or in parallel as long as there is no contradiction in processing contents, and other steps may be added between the processing steps. . Further, a step described as one step for convenience can be executed by being divided into a plurality of steps, while a step described as being divided into a plurality of steps for convenience can be grasped as one step.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the overall flow of the daily area setting process.

  When receiving the positioning information (positioning point, positioning time, user ID) transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 at a predetermined transmission interval, the daily life setting system 10 stores the received positioning information in the positioning information DB 110 (S100). Thereby, the history of the positioning information according to the movement of the user is stored in the positioning information DB 110 (see FIG. 3A).

  The daily area setting system 10 rearranges the positioning information in the positioning information DB 110 in chronological order according to the date for each user, and generates basic data in which the positioning point and the positioning time are associated with the corresponding mesh region for each positioning date for each user (S200). (See FIG. 6). The generated basic data is stored in the basic data DB 111 (see FIG. 3B).

  The daily sphere setting system 10 generates daily mesh data representing the number of times of positioning in each mesh area and the user's stay time for each predetermined unit period (eg, 1 day) for each user based on the generated basic data. (S300). The generated daily mesh data is stored in the daily mesh DB 112 (see FIGS. 4A and 7). Details of the daily mesh data generation process will be described later.

  The daily sphere setting system 10 totals the number of times of positioning, staying time, and number of stays in each mesh area in a predetermined counting period based on the generated daily mesh data. Then, mesh data according to the total period in which the stay days are associated is generated (S400). The generated aggregation period-specific mesh data is stored in the period-specific mesh DB 113 (see FIG. 10).

  The daily area setting system 10 is a mesh area in which any one of the number of positioning times, the staying time, and the number of staying included in the mesh data for each counting period or an arbitrary combination of two or more thereof satisfies a predetermined daily area condition. Is extracted from the user's daily sphere (S500). The generated daily life data is stored in the daily life DB 114 (see FIGS. 4B and 4C and FIG. 11).

[Daily mesh data generation processing]
Next, the flow of daily mesh data generation processing will be described with reference to FIG. First, the daily area setting system 10 sets, based on the basic data, a set of a first positioning point of a positioning point before movement and a second positioning point of a positioning point after movement from a positioning point on a mesh area, for example, in time series. If the group can be identified (S301; YES), the process proceeds to step 302 to apply the first distribution condition or the second distribution condition. If the group cannot be identified (S301; NO) ), Go to step 309 to apply the third distribution condition.

  When the routine area setting system 10 proceeds to step 302, it calculates the distance between the first positioning point and the second positioning point, the first positioning time of the first positioning point, and the second positioning point second. The time between positioning points between the positioning times is calculated (S302).

  As an example of the distribution condition, the daily life setting system 10 determines whether the calculated distance between positioning points is less than a predetermined reference distance and whether the calculated time between positioning points is less than a predetermined reference time (S303). If the determination result is right, the process proceeds to step 304 to apply the first distribution condition. If the determination result is negative, the process proceeds to step 307 to apply the second distribution condition.

  When the routine area setting system 10 proceeds to step 304, it sets the transmission time interval of the positioning information in the mobile terminal to the travel time (S304). Then, the travel time subtracted time is calculated by subtracting the travel time from the time between positioning points, and the calculated travel time subtracted time is allocated to the first mesh region to which the first positioning point belongs as the allocated stay time ( S305). Next, the movement time is distributed approximately evenly as the distribution stay time to one or a plurality of mesh regions located on the connection between the first positioning point and the second positioning point (S306). Thereby, the allocated stay time is appropriately allocated to the first mesh area, the second mesh area, and the complementary mesh area (see FIG. 8A).

  On the other hand, when the routine area setting system 10 proceeds to step 307, it calculates the travel time based on the distance between positioning points and predetermined speed information (S307). Then, the travel time subtracted time is calculated by subtracting the travel time from the time between positioning points, and the calculated travel time subtracted time is allocated to the first mesh region to which the first positioning point belongs as the allocated stay time ( S308). In addition, the allocation stay time is not distributed to the second mesh area to which the second positioning point belongs or other mesh areas. Thereby, the allocated stay time is appropriately allocated to the first mesh area (see FIG. 8B).

  In addition, since the determination result in step S301 is negative, the daily zone setting system 10 has a final positioning in which the first positioning point at which the target positioning point is positioned at the beginning of the corresponding day is positioned at the end when the processing proceeds to step 309. If it is the first measurement point, the time from the reference time 0:00 to the positioning time of the target positioning point is distributed to the target mesh area within a predetermined maximum time (S310). ). On the other hand, when the target positioning point is the last positioning point, the time from the positioning time of the target positioning point to 24 o'clock as the reference time is distributed to the target mesh area within a predetermined maximum time (S311). . Thereby, the allocated stay time is appropriately allocated to the mesh areas of the first positioning point and the last positioning point (see FIG. 9).

  The daily sphere setting system 10 calculates the stay time of the target mesh area based on the allocated stay time allocated to the mesh area, and the positioning count of the mesh area is based on the number of times the positioning point is positioned in the mesh area. (S312). Note that the staying time is added to the complementary mesh region, but the positioning point is not added.

  Next, the daily zone setting system 10 determines whether or not there is a positioning point to be processed next. If there is a positioning point to be processed next (S313; YES), the process returns to step S301. Repeat the above process. On the other hand, if there is no positioning point to be processed next, the processing is terminated (S313; NO).

[Generation of mesh data by aggregation period]
Next, the flow of mesh data generation processing for each counting period will be described with reference to FIG. 13A (see FIG. 10). The daily area setting system 10 determines whether or not the mesh data for each aggregation period of the target aggregation period exists in the mesh DB 113 for each period. If the mesh data is already generated (S401; YES), the routine proceeds to step S402 and is still If not generated (S401; NO), the process proceeds to step S403.

  When the daily zone setting system 10 proceeds to step S402, it reads the existing mesh data by total period from the mesh DB 113 by period, and reads the daily mesh data by date of addition and subtraction from the daily mesh DB 112. For each mesh area, the stay time, the number of positioning times, and the number of stay days of the addition target day are added, while the stay time, the number of positioning times, and the number of stay days of the subtraction target day are subtracted (S402).

  When the routine area setting system 10 proceeds to step S403, the daily area mesh data for the target total period is read from the daily mesh DB 112, and the stay time, the number of positioning times, and the number of stay days for the target total period are totaled (S403). ).

  The daily sphere setting system 10 stores the generated mesh data by count period in the mesh DB 113 by period (S404).

[Daily service area setting process]
Next, the flow of the daily area setting process will be described with reference to FIG. 13B (see FIG. 11). The daily sphere setting system 10 refers to the daily sphere conditions of the target daily sphere type from the daily sphere DB 114 (S501), and reads the corresponding aggregate period-specific mesh data from the period-specific mesh DB 113. A mesh region that matches is extracted and set as a daily zone (S502).

  The daily sphere setting system 10 stores the set daily sphere type and mesh number in the daily sphere DB 114 in association with each other (S503). In addition to the mesh number, a specific address, facility, building name, etc. in the mesh may be stored in association with the type of daily life.

[Examples of daily use]
Next, an example of using the daily life set as described above will be described. The usage method of the daily service area can be appropriately determined according to the purpose and the like, and the content thereof is not particularly limited. For example, when the predetermined service providing apparatus receives the positioning information, the current position of the user is within the daily service area. Depending on whether or not, the contents of the provided information can be changed or the provided form of the provided information can be changed. In addition, when an everyday area corresponding to a positioning level is created, appropriate information can be provided in consideration of the positioning level. Further, the example shown in FIG. 14 shows a state in which buffers (walking area, outing area) for each predetermined distance band are set around the daily area. For example, when the predetermined service providing apparatus receives the positioning information, the predetermined service providing apparatus measures the distance from the current position of the user to the daily life area of the user (the nearest daily life area if there are a plurality of the service information), and provides the provided information according to the distance. The contents and form of provision can be determined.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, based on the positioning information transmitted from the mobile terminal, mesh data representing the number of times of positioning, the staying time, and the number of days of positioning within a predetermined period in each mesh region is generated, and the number of times of positioning, staying Since the mesh area having the time and the number of positioning days equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold is extracted as the daily area, the user's daily area can be set automatically and in real time based on the movement of the user.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the user can automatically set the daily sphere of the user just by carrying the portable terminal with the GPS function, various information registration operations for setting the daily sphere can be performed. It becomes unnecessary, and the convenience for the user can be improved. In addition, since a new daily area can be set as appropriate based on the latest positioning information, it is possible to respond flexibly even if there are changes in the user's daily area due to moving, marriage, job change, admission, etc. It is.

  In the present embodiment, the distribution complementing means 107 performs the process of allocating the staying time to the mesh area on the movement path between the first positioning point and the second positioning point. Processing may not be performed. That is, the process of steps S303 to S308 in FIG. 12 may not be performed and the process may proceed from step S302 to step S312.

  In addition, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the stay time distribution by the distribution supplement means 107 may not be performed, and the stay time may be distributed by the distribution supplement means 107 in other cases. Examples of such conditions include the following. One is that complementation is not performed if the size of the mesh region is larger than a predetermined size. This is because when the size of the mesh is sufficiently large (for example, 300 m square), the first positioning point and the second positioning point are often included in the same mesh, and the result does not change much even if complementation is performed. The other is that complementation is not performed when the time between positioning points between the first positioning point and the second positioning point is shorter than the threshold value. This is because when the time between positioning points is short (for example, less than 10 minutes), there is not much difference between the results when complementing is performed and when complementing is not performed. The other is that when the transmission time interval of the positioning information in the mobile terminal 20 is shorter than the threshold value, no complement is performed. When the transmission time interval is short (for example, less than 5 minutes), the distance between the first positioning point and the second positioning point is often short, and there is not much difference between the results with and without complementing. Because it is not. The other is that complementation is not performed when the distance for everyday area determination is greater than the threshold. This is because when the distance for everyday area determination is large (for example, 400 m or more), there is not much difference between the results when complementing is performed and when it is not performed. Note that it may be determined whether or not to perform complementation using one of these conditions, or may be determined by combining two or more conditions.

[Other Embodiments]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. The above-described embodiment is merely an example in all respects, and is not construed as limiting.

  For example, when it is determined that the positioning accuracy of the current position in the mobile terminal 20 is low, the mesh area (hereinafter referred to as “movement path mesh area”) located on the movement path from the first positioning point to the second positioning point. .)) Is set as a peripheral mesh region, and the time between positioning points can also be allocated to the peripheral mesh region. The surrounding mesh area can be set as appropriate according to the design and specifications. For example, when the positioning accuracy of the first positioning point and / or the second positioning point is low, the first mesh area and / or Alternatively, the mesh area around the second mesh area can be set as the first peripheral mesh area and / or the second peripheral mesh area. For example, when the positioning accuracy of both the first positioning point and the second positioning point is low, a mesh area around the complementary mesh area on the movement path may be set as the complementary peripheral mesh area. The distribution complementing means 107, when setting the peripheral mesh area, for example, the movement route mesh area corresponding to the peripheral mesh area (eg, the first mesh peripheral area) calculated according to the distribution method described in the above embodiment. The allocated stay time for (example: first mesh area) can be distributed to both the moving route mesh area and the surrounding mesh area (example: first mesh area and first mesh surrounding area). According to this configuration, when a positioning point with low accuracy is received, the staying time is also distributed around the positioning point, and as a result, the accuracy of the daily area can be improved.

  In this embodiment, the mesh region is two-dimensional, but a three-dimensional mesh region may be used. The three-dimensional mesh region is a region obtained by dividing a plurality of divided regions obtained by dividing a map based on latitude and longitude into a plurality of height directions. Specifically, when the basic data generation unit 104 generates basic data, a three-dimensional mesh region may be used. For example, (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude) are (36 ° 30 'N, 135 ° 30' E, 0.5m), (36 ° 30 'N, 135 ° 30' E, 0.5m), (36 ° 30 ' N, 135 ° 30 'E, 10.0m) If positioning information is obtained at a point, 3D mesh data can be used (36 ° 30' N, 135 ° 30 'E, 0.5m) The number of positioning of the 3D mesh to be performed is 2 times, and the number of positioning of the 3D mesh corresponding to (36 ° 30 'N, 135 ° 30' E, 10.0m) is 1, but in the case of 2D mesh data Is based on only latitude and longitude information (36 ° 30 ′ N, 135 ° 30 ′ E), the corresponding two-dimensional mesh positioning count is counted as 3.

  Alternatively, when the daily sphere setting unit 109 sets the daily sphere, altitude information in each mesh may be stored in addition to the two-dimensional mesh number corresponding to the type of the daily sphere. Thereby, for example, when a building is included in an everyday area of a certain user, it is possible to set up to the number of floors. For example, if 30m underground is registered as altitude information, it can be determined that the daily life is not on the ground but on the subway premises.

  Moreover, you may make it create the daily area for every moving means. Specifically, the daily mesh generation means 105 creates daily mesh data using only basic data measured during movement by a specific movement means. The estimation of the moving means is, for example, if at least one of the time between two positioning points in the basic data is less than the reference time and the distance between the positioning points is less than a predetermined reference distance is satisfied. Presumed to be movement by walking. On the other hand, if the time between the two positioning points is less than the reference time and the distance between the positioning points is less than the predetermined reference distance, it is estimated that the movement is by a vehicle or a subway, for example. be able to. The daily mesh generation means 105 determines the moving means between each measurement point, extracts the combination of two measurement points determined to be moved by the specific moving means, and creates daily mesh data.

  The daily area setting unit 109 performs daily area setting processing for each moving unit using the daily mesh data by the specific moving unit created as described above, and sets the daily area for each moving unit. Daily sphere conditions may also be provided for each moving means. For example, if a daily area when traveling by car is used, useful information such as parking lot information when traveling by car can be provided to the user. In addition, train operation information and the like can be provided by using the daily area when moving by train.

  Moreover, you may make it produce the daily zone limited to a specific time slot | zone, a weekday, or a holiday. Specifically, the daily mesh generation unit 105 extracts daily positioning information measured in a specific time zone (for example, 17: 00-210: 00) and creates daily mesh data. This daily mesh data is mesh data (mesh data by time zone) created from positioning information in a specific time zone. Further, only the positioning information measured on weekdays or holidays is extracted to create daily mesh data. This daily mesh data is mesh data created from positioning information measured on weekdays or holidays (mesh data based on positioning information on at least one of weekdays and holidays). Furthermore, the daily area setting unit 109 performs daily area setting processing using the daily mesh data created in this way, and sets daily areas for each time zone and for each weekday / holiday. It should be noted that the daily zone conditions may be provided for each time zone and for each weekday / holiday. Examples of how to use these daily areas include providing information on nearby izakayas according to the daily areas during the night, and providing nearby event information according to the daily areas on holidays. .
