  And the change request transmission part 102i of the terminal device 100 transmits the change request of a movement schedule to the schedule management server 200 (step SA-38).

  Then, the change request receiving unit 202j of the schedule management server 200 receives the movement schedule change request transmitted from the terminal device 100 (step SA-39).

  The movement schedule regeneration unit 202k of the schedule management server 200 then moves based on the movement schedule area displayed on the display unit 114 of the terminal device 100 based on the movement schedule change request received by the change request reception unit 202j. Different from the two event schedules based on the location information included in the two event schedules, with the location of the two events as the starting point and the destination, the guide route from the starting point to the destination is stored in the traffic information database 206c. Based on the information, a search is performed using the network information stored in the network information database 206b, and a travel schedule including route information regarding the guide route is generated (step SA-40).

  The route guidance information generation unit 202e of the schedule management server 200 relates to the route information included in the movement schedule generated by the movement schedule regeneration unit 202k and the map including the guidance route stored in the map information database 206d. Route guidance information including map information is generated (step SA-41).

  Then, the schedule area generation unit 202f of the schedule management server 200 generates a movement schedule area indicating the movement schedule generated by the movement schedule regeneration unit 202k (step SA-42).

  The schedule area transmitting unit 202g of the schedule management server 200 is generated by the travel schedule area generated by the schedule area generating unit 202f at step SA-42 and by the route guidance information generating unit 202e at step SA-41. The route guidance information is transmitted to the terminal device 100 (step SA-43).

  Then, the schedule area receiving unit 102d of the terminal device 100 receives the movement schedule area and the route guidance information transmitted from the schedule management server 200 in step SA-43, and receives the received movement schedule area and the route guidance. Information is stored in the output information file 106a (step SA-44), and the process proceeds to step SA-33.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, an example of the movement schedule change process in this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen in the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 9, when a user inputs a display position change instruction for the movement schedule area (for example, an instruction to move the movement schedule area up and down), the schedule management server 200 generates a movement schedule including route information regarding the re-search path. As shown in FIG. 10, the schedule area display unit 102 e erases the display of the arrow information 11 and superimposes the movement schedule area 10 indicating the movement schedule on the inter-schedule area 4 on the display unit 114. It is displayed. Thus, by providing a movement schedule between two event schedules, the user can dynamically edit the movement schedule while visually judging on the screen. That is, each time the user shifts the movement schedule area on the screen, the guide route is searched again, and the movement schedule is changed. Further, since the departure / arrival time of the movement schedule can be finely adjusted without changing the start time and end time of the event schedule, it is not necessary to directly edit the time of the event schedule itself in order to adjust the departure / arrival time. Further, when the movement schedule is finely adjusted a plurality of times, it may be difficult to identify the time of the event schedule, but such a situation is avoided by using a spare time for the event schedule. That is, when the user shifts the movement schedule area in the vertical direction and performs a determination operation, the guide route is re-searched based on the position.

  Here, when the display position change instruction is input, the departure time may be specified based on the uppermost part of the movement schedule area, or the arrival time may be specified based on the lowermost part. When the user moves in the movement schedule area in the upward direction, there is a problem with the arrival time, so it may be assumed that a re-search request has been made and the arrival time may be designated. Further, when the user moves the movement schedule area in the downward direction, there is a problem in the departure time, so it may be considered that the re-search request is made and the departure time may be designated. Further, when the user is moving the movement schedule area, the movement schedule area may be moved as it was before moving, or it may be based on the average search time. May be. Further, the size of the movement schedule area may be a size based on the maximum required time between event schedules, or may be a size based on the minimum required time between schedules. Further, a graphic representing the maximum required time and the minimum required time may be output together. Further, the movement schedule and the schedule may overlap for a certain time. Here, the allowable amount to be overlapped may be determined by default on the system side or may be determined by user designation.

  Moreover, you may make it move the space | interval which a movement schedule area | region slides based on the space | interval of the boarding timetable. At this time, when moving on a plurality of routes, the sliding interval may be slid based on a timetable having a large interval with reference to each timetable, or any one according to the user's operation direction. It may be determined whether to slide based on the timetable. For example, when the movement schedule area slides from the upper direction to the lower direction, it is assumed that there is an intention to change the train on the first route to a later train, and the timetable for the first route When moving from the lower direction to the upper direction, it may be considered that there is an intention to speed up the train on the last route, and may be slid based on the timetable of the last route . When the movement schedule area is slid based on the timetable, the scale may be displayed horizontally so that the sliding interval can be understood. However, when the time interval of the route is short, it may not be displayed. Further, the minimum movement time between two event schedules may be illustrated at a predetermined timing (for example, when a movement schedule area is requested to move). In addition, the movement schedule area may be divided into a plurality of movement schedule areas, for example, for each route or for each moving means.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the schedule area display unit 102e of the terminal device 100 determines that the event schedule area and the movement schedule area are overlapped and displayed by the control unit 102 in Step SA-8 (Step S8). (SA-8: Yes) Further, a dialog box asking whether or not to re-search for the movement schedule is popped up on the display unit 114 (step SA-9).

  Here, an example of the dialog box in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13. 11 to 13 are diagrams illustrating an example of a display screen in the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the event schedule area 3 and the movement schedule area 10 overlap when the size of the event schedule area 3 is changed (enlarged) based on the movement of the knob information 5 by the user, FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the schedule area display unit 102e displays a pop-up display on the display unit 114 as to whether or not to re-search the movement schedule. Here, as shown in FIG. 13, even when the event schedule area 2 and the movement schedule area 10 overlap when the display position of the movement schedule area 10 is changed by the user, the schedule area display unit 102e A dialog box 12 asking whether or not to re-search the movement schedule may be displayed as a pop-up on the display unit 114. In this way, when the travel schedule that is the route search result is registered, the schedule is fine-tuned, and when a conflict occurs between the event schedule and the travel schedule, a warning dialog is displayed to prompt the route to be searched again. Yes.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the control unit 102 of the terminal device 100 determines whether or not a movement schedule re-search instruction has been input to the dialog box pop-up displayed on the display unit 114 via the input unit 118 by the user. (Step SA-10).

  If the control unit 102 of the terminal device 100 determines that the movement schedule re-search instruction is input in Step SA-10 (Step SA-10: Yes), the control unit 102 turns off the pop-up display of the dialog box and performs the process. The process proceeds to step SA-37.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 102 of the terminal device 100 determines in step SA-10 that the movement schedule re-search instruction has not been input (step SA-10: No), the pop-up display of the dialog box is turned off. The process proceeds to step SA-11.

  Here, an example of the movement schedule re-search in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 12 and FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen in the present embodiment.

  When “Yes” in the dialog box 12 shown in FIG. 12 is selected by the user, the schedule management server 200 regenerates a movement schedule that does not overlap with the event schedule, and displays a schedule area display as shown in FIG. The unit 102e turns off the pop-up display of the dialog box 12 and causes the display unit 114 to display the movement schedule area 10 indicating the movement schedule on the inter-schedule area 4. In this manner, the travel schedule is re-searched, and the guide route reflecting the fine adjustment time of the schedule is registered again. In addition, since the route search and the conflict determination at the time of changing the schedule are performed not in the time zone of the schedule registered first but in the time zone adjusted by the user, the route search is also easy for the user to easily retry.

  Above, description of an example of the process of the schedule management system in 1st Embodiment is finished.
