The terminal device 11 is a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a PDA. In addition, it is preferable that the mobile terminal can acquire current position information that is position information indicating the current position. The network 13 is a wireless or wired communication line, such as the Internet, an intranet, a LAN (Local Area Network), or a public telephone line network.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the terminal device 11 and the server device 12 in the present embodiment. The terminal device 11 includes an output management information storage unit 111, a current position information acquisition unit 112, a situation information acquisition unit 113, an output information acquisition unit 114, and an output unit 115. The server device 12 includes a server status management information storage unit 121, a server output management information storage unit 122, a server reception unit 123, a server status information acquisition unit 124, a server output information acquisition unit 125, and a server transmission unit 126.

  The output management information storage unit 111 stores one or more output management information. “Output management information” is information for managing output information. “Output management information” is information in which output information is associated with one or more other information. The output management information storage unit 111 normally stores output management information in which status conditions are associated with output information. The “situation condition” is a condition related to the situation of the train. The “output information” is information that is output by the output unit 115 described later. The “output information” is also information that is output according to the train conditions.

  The “situation condition” is a condition related to situation information, which is usually information indicating a train situation. The “situation information” is usually traveling state information that is information indicating a traveling state of a train, operation state information that is information indicating a traveling state of a train, and the like.

  “Running status information” means, for example, that the vehicle is traveling between stations, that it is stopped at a station, that it has left the station, that it has arrived at the station, and that it is accelerating to leave the station , If you are traveling between stations, the name of the station, if you are stopped at the station, the name of the station, if you leave the station, the name of the station, if you arrive at the station Is information indicating the station name. Further, the “station name” may be, for example, the position of a station. Further, the “operation status information” is information indicating, for example, whether or not the vehicle is suspended, whether or not it is delayed, and when it is delayed.

  In other words, from the above, “situation conditions” are, for example, that the train is running between stations, that the train is stopped at the station, that the train has left the station, and that the train has arrived at the station. The train is accelerating to leave the station, the train is decelerating to reach the station, the train is running between stations, and the station name is a predetermined station name. The train is stopped at the station, the station name is a predetermined station name, the train has just left the station, and the station name is a predetermined station name. The station has arrived at the station and the station name is a predetermined station name, the train is stopped at the station or has arrived at the station, and the current position is within the predetermined range. The train is suspended, the train is late It, train is delayed, and the like that the time is a predetermined time or more.

  The “output information” is, for example, voice (music), images (photos), moving images (videos), texts, and the like. Further, the “output information” may be advertisement information indicating an advertisement, for example. The content of the advertisement indicated by the “advertisement information” does not matter. The contents of the advertisement are, for example, so-called sale guidance, so-called coupons, and store introductions. The format of “advertisement information” is not limited. The format of the advertisement information is, for example, an image or a character string.

  In the present embodiment, the “situation condition” is usually a condition relating to a traveling state of a train on board. Further, in the present embodiment, the “situation information” is usually traveling state information indicating the traveling state of the train on board. In addition, the output information included in the output management information stored in the output management information storage unit 111 is usually one of audio, an image, a moving image, and text.

  The current position information acquisition unit 112 acquires current position information. “Current position information” is position information indicating the current position. The “position information” is information indicating a position. The position is usually longitude and latitude. Further, the position may include, for example, a height (altitude).

  Further, the current position information acquisition unit 112 normally acquires current position information periodically. The current position information acquisition unit 112 normally acquires current position information from a satellite navigation system (such as a GPS receiver) or a device that receives position information from a base station for mobile communication. In this case, the current position information acquisition unit 112 may have these devices or may be realized by these devices. The processing procedure of the current position information acquisition unit 112 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM.

  The status information acquisition unit 113 acquires status information indicating the status of the train corresponding to the current location indicated by the current location information. The “train corresponding to the current position” is usually a train on board. In addition, the “train condition” is usually the traveling condition of the train. That is, the “situation information” is usually traveling situation information. The “acquisition” usually includes “reception”.

Specifically, the situation information acquisition unit 113 acquires the driving situation information by any of the following methods, for example.
(A) Method using current position information and map information (B) Method using current position information and travel status management information (C) Method using only current position information (D) Method using only acceleration

  Method (A): This method is a method of acquiring travel status information using current position information and map information. “Map information” is information indicating a map. Details of the “map information” will be described later. When the method (A) is used, the situation information acquisition unit 113 normally holds map information. And the situation information acquisition part 113 judges the driving | running | working condition of a train according to the current position which current position information shows in the map which map information shows. Then, the situation information acquisition unit 113 acquires the driving situation information indicating the determined driving situation.

  For example, when it is determined that the train is traveling between stations, the situation information acquisition unit 113 acquires traveling status information indicating that the train is traveling between stations. In addition, for example, when it is determined that the train is stopped at the station, the situation information acquisition unit 113 acquires traveling state information indicating that the train is stopped at the station. For example, when it is determined that the train has arrived at the station, the situation information acquisition unit 113 acquires travel situation information indicating that the train has arrived at the station. Further, for example, when it is determined that the train has left the station, the situation information acquisition unit 113 acquires travel situation information indicating that the train has left the station.

  For example, in the map indicated by the map information, when the current position indicated by the current position information is on the track, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train is traveling between the stations. For example, in the map indicated by the map information, when the current position is not moved and the current position is on the station, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train is stopped at the station. For example, in the map indicated by the map information, when the current position moves from the track to the station, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train has arrived at the station. For example, in the map indicated by the map information, when the current position moves from the station to the track, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train has left the station.

  The type of map indicated by the “map information” and the data format of the “map information” are not limited. The “map information” usually has one or more pieces of line information indicating the lines. “Line information” includes information indicating the name of the line and the positions of both ends of the line, for example. The “map information” usually has one or more pieces of station information indicating stations. The “station information” includes information indicating, for example, the name of the station, the center position of the station, the range of the station, and the name of the route that enters the station.

  Method (B): This method is a method of acquiring travel status information using current position information and travel status management information. “Running situation management information” is information for managing the running situation information. The “running status management information” is information in which the running status information is associated with one or more other information. Note that the “running situation management information” in the method (B) usually includes train position information that is position information that indicates the position of a running train, and running situation information that indicates the running situation of the running train. Is the corresponding information. Further, the “running status management information” usually includes information for identifying a train.

  When the method (B) is used, the situation information acquisition unit 113 normally holds one or more traveling situation management information. Then, the situation information acquisition unit 113, for example, for the train position information included in each of the one or more traveling situation management information, the distance between the position indicated by the train position information and the position indicated by the current position information (hereinafter, train It is determined whether or not (distance) is close enough to satisfy a predetermined condition (hereinafter appropriately referred to as a train distance condition). And the situation information acquisition part 113 acquires the driving | running | working condition information corresponding to the train position information judged that it is so close that it satisfy | fills a train distance condition from driving | running | working condition management information.

  For example, it is assumed that the train distance, which is the distance between the current position indicated by the current position information and the position indicated by the train position information, is “2 m”. Further, it is assumed that the train distance condition is “train distance ≦ 5 m”. The train distance condition means that the train distance is 5 m or less. In such a case, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train distance satisfies the train distance condition.

  For example, assume that the distance between the current position indicated by the current position information and the position indicated by the train position information is “5 m”. Further, it is assumed that the train distance condition is “train distance ≦ 3 m”. In such a case, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train distance does not satisfy the train distance condition.

  The “running status management information” is normally updated regularly. The update method and procedure are not limited. For example, the terminal device 11 includes a receiving unit and a storage unit (not shown). And a receiving part receives the train identification information which is the information which identifies the said train, the train position information which shows the position of the said train, and the driving condition information which shows the running condition of the said train from the running train . Then, the storage unit associates the train position information received by the reception unit with the traveling state information, configures traveling state management information, and stores the information in a predetermined storage area. In addition, for example, when traveling state management information having the same identification information as the identification information received by the receiving unit is already stored, the storage unit converts the configured traveling state management information into the traveling state having the same identification information. The situation management information is overwritten and stored in a predetermined storage area.

  Method (C): This method is a method for acquiring situation information using only current position information. When the method (C) is used, the situation information acquisition unit 113 first uses, for example, two or more current position information, the distance between the positions indicated by the two or more current position information, and the terminal device 11. The moving speed of the terminal device 11 is calculated using the time required to move the distance. And the situation information acquisition part 113 judges the driving | running | working condition of a train according to the said moving speed. And the status information acquisition part 113 acquires the driving status information which shows the driving status of the said train according to the result of the said judgment.

  For example, when the moving speed is fast enough to satisfy a predetermined condition (hereinafter referred to as “running condition” as appropriate) (when the terminal device 11 is moving at a speed that is fast enough to satisfy the predetermined condition), the situation information is acquired. The unit 113 determines that the train is traveling between the stations. For example, when the moving speed is “0 km / s” (when the terminal device 11 is not moving), the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train is stopped at the station. For example, when the moving speed gradually decreases to “0 km / s”, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train has arrived at the station. For example, when the moving speed gradually increases from the state of “0 km”, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train has left the station.

  When the method (C) is used, the situation information acquisition unit 113 may acquire the moving speed from a device such as a speedometer or a speed sensor.

  Method (D): This method is a method for acquiring situation information using only acceleration. The “acceleration” is the acceleration of the terminal device. When the method (D) is used, the situation information acquisition unit 113 first acquires acceleration, for example. The said acceleration is acquired from apparatuses, such as an accelerometer and an acceleration sensor, for example. Then, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines the running situation of the train according to the acceleration. And the status information acquisition part 113 acquires the driving status information which shows the driving status of the said train according to the result of the said judgment.

  For example, when the absolute value of the acceleration is small enough to satisfy a predetermined condition, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train is traveling between stations. When the acceleration is “0 km / s · s”, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train is stopped at the station. The “s · s” represents the square of the second. For example, when the absolute value of the acceleration is large enough to satisfy a predetermined condition and the sign of the acceleration is negative, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train has arrived at the station. For example, when the absolute value of the acceleration is large enough to satisfy a predetermined condition and the sign of the acceleration is positive, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train has left the station.

  The acceleration is the same (0 km / s · s) when the train is traveling at a constant speed and when the train is stopped. Therefore, when the method (D) is used, the moving speed may be used to determine whether the train is running or stopped. For example, when the acceleration is “0 km / s · s” and the moving speed exceeds “0 km / s”, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train is running. For example, when the acceleration is “0 km / s · s” and the moving speed is “0 km / s”, the situation information acquisition unit 113 determines that the train is stopped.

  When receiving situation information, the situation information acquisition unit 113 normally transmits the current position information to the server device 12. Then, the situation information acquisition unit 113 receives the situation information from the server device 12 in response to the transmission of the current position information. Moreover, when receiving status information, the status information acquisition part 113 may acquire an acceleration and may transmit the said acceleration to the server apparatus 12, for example. In this case, the situation information acquisition unit 113 receives the situation information from the server device 12 in response to the transmission of the acceleration.

  The output information acquisition unit 114 acquires output information corresponding to the train status corresponding to the current position indicated by the current position information. In general, the output information is preferably different depending on the condition of the train. The “train situation” is a train situation indicated by the situation information acquired by the situation information acquisition unit 113. The “acquisition” usually includes “reception”.

  Specifically, the output information acquisition unit 114 acquires the output information by a method using status information and output management information, for example. This method is a method of acquiring output information using status information and output management information. The “situation information” is the situation information acquired by the situation information acquisition unit 113. When the method (A) is used, the output information acquisition unit 114 determines, for example, whether one of the one or more situation conditions stored in the output management information storage unit 111 matches the situation information. Judging. Then, the output information acquisition unit 114 acquires, from the output management information storage unit 111, output information associated with the situation condition determined to match.

  For example, it is assumed that the status information is “running”. The situation information indicates that the train is running between stations. Further, it is assumed that the situation condition is “train = running”. The situation condition means that the train is traveling between stations. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 114 determines that the situation information matches the situation condition.

  Further, for example, it is assumed that the status information is “XX station: departure”. The situation information indicates that the train departed from “XX station”. Further, it is assumed that the situation condition is “train = departure”. The situation condition means that the train has left the station. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 114 determines that the situation information matches the situation condition.

  Further, for example, it is assumed that the status information is “arrival & (N34.1112, E135.1112)”. The status information indicates that the train has arrived at the station and the current position is “(N34.1112, E135.1112)”. In addition, the situation condition is “(train = arrival) & {(N34.1111, E135.1111), (N34.1111, E135.1114), (N34.1113, E135.1114), (N34.1113, E135. 111)} ”. The situation condition means that the train arrives at the station and the current position is within the range indicated by the four positions. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 114 determines that the situation information matches the situation condition.

  When receiving output information, the output information acquisition unit 114 normally transmits current position information or situation information to the server device 12. The “situation information” is the situation information acquired by the situation information acquisition unit 113. Then, the output information acquisition unit 114 receives the output information from the server device 12 in response to the transmission of the current position information or the situation information.

  When transmitting the current position information, the output information acquisition unit 114 may transmit the current position information to the server device 12 every time the current position information acquisition unit 112 acquires the current position information, for example. For example, the output information acquisition unit 114 may transmit the current position information satisfying a predetermined condition among the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 112 to the server device 12. The “predetermined condition” is, for example, a condition regarding the time when the current position information is acquired, the time after the current position information is transmitted, and the like.

  Moreover, when transmitting status information, the output information acquisition part 114 may transmit the said status information to the server apparatus 12, for example, whenever the status information acquisition part 113 acquires status information. For example, the output information acquisition unit 114 may transmit, to the server device 12, situation information that satisfies a predetermined condition among the situation information acquired by the situation information acquisition unit 113. The “predetermined condition” is, for example, a condition relating to the time when the situation information is acquired, the time after the situation information is transmitted, and the like.
