Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing system, a server, an information processing method, an information processing program, and a terminal device that generate grant information.

  In some games, the user can advantageously advance the game by acquiring points. The points can be obtained when the user actually performs some mission, in addition to those obtained during the game or paid. An example of a mission is moving a certain route by a user.

  Although it is not a point in a game, Patent Document 1 discloses a device for giving mileage. This device first searches for a route from a departure place to a destination. Then, this route is compared with the route actually traveled by the user, and the mileage is calculated according to the matching distance.

JP 2005-255853 A

  However, Patent Document 1 calculates the mileage based only on the distance actually moved along the searched route, and does not consider how the mileage has moved. Therefore, even if the searched route is moved by car or on foot, the mileage given is constant.

  If the apparatus of Patent Document 1 is applied to the above-described game, it can only be set as a mission by moving along the searched route from the starting point to the destination.

  Embodiments according to the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an information processing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The information processing system includes a terminal device 1 and a server 2 that can communicate via a network 3.

  The terminal device 1 is used by a user, and may be a mobile electronic device such as a mobile phone, a smartphone or a tablet terminal device, or a stationary electronic device such as a personal computer or a car navigation device. At least a part of the terminal device 1 and the server 2 is realized by a computer. The terminal device 1 communicates with the server 2 via the network 3, but the network 3 may be either a wired line or a wireless line, and the type and form of the line are not limited.

  The terminal device 1 includes a communication unit 11 and a control unit 12.

  The communication unit 11 is an interface that transmits and receives information between the control unit 12 and the server 2 via the network 3.

  The control unit 12 includes an operation input unit 121, an output unit 122, a position positioning unit 123, and an information receiving unit 124.

  The operation input unit 121 is an interface for a user to input an operation to the terminal device 1 and is, for example, a keyboard, a touch pad, a dial button, or the like in a mobile electronic device, or a touch panel or a microphone in a stationary electronic device.

  The output unit 122 is an interface that outputs various types of information from the terminal device 1 to the user, and is, for example, a liquid crystal display that displays video. Specifically, the output unit 122 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for accepting an operation from the user, grant information described later, and the like. Alternatively, the output unit 122 may be a speaker that outputs the grant information and the like by voice. The output unit 122 may output a video signal to a display unit connected to the outside, or may output a sound signal to a sound reproduction unit connected to the outside. Furthermore, the output unit 122 does not output these pieces of information to the user, but may output and store the information in the terminal device 1 or an external storage device.

  The position positioning unit 123 measures and acquires current position information indicating the current position of the terminal device 1 and is, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiving device. The current position of the terminal device 1 is expressed by latitude and longitude, for example. While the user is holding the terminal device 1, the current position of the terminal device 1 and the current position of the user substantially match, and the current position information indicates the position of the user. Note that the current position measured does not necessarily indicate the “current” position of the terminal device 1, and there is a slight time lag between the position of the terminal device 1 and the current position to be measured. Also good.

  The information receiving unit 124 receives grant information and the like transmitted from the server 2 from the communication unit 11 via the network 3.

  On the other hand, the server 2 includes a communication unit 21 and a control unit 22.

  The communication unit 21 is an interface that transmits and receives information between the control unit 22 and the terminal device 1 via the network 3.

  The control unit 22 includes an information reception unit 221, a movement information generation unit 222, an actual movement method identification unit 223, and an assignment information generation unit 224.

  The information receiving unit 221 receives the current position information of the terminal device 1 transmitted from the terminal device 1 from the communication unit 21 via the network 3.

  The movement information generation unit 222 generates user movement information based on the current position information of the current position 1. The user's movement information includes, for example, the user's current position, movement speed and acceleration, or the user's movement history, passage information at a predetermined position such as a station ticket gate, an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection System) toll gate, and the like.

  The actual movement method specifying unit 223 specifies the actual movement method of the user holding the terminal device 1 based on the movement method specifying information. The movement method specifying information includes the movement information of the user and, if necessary, matching information associated with the movement method. The matching information includes, for example, POI information, road network information that defines a road network, transportation network information that defines a transportation network such as a railway and a bus, and timetable information of transportation. The matching information may be stored in a storage unit (not shown) or may be acquired from the outside via the network 3. The specified moving method includes transportation on foot in addition to transportation such as trains and buses, automobiles, and motorcycles.

  A specific example of the method of specifying the actual movement method of the user by the movement information generating unit 222 and the actual movement method specifying unit 223 will be described later.

  The grant information generation unit 224 calculates points given to the user as grant information based on the user's actual movement method. The assignment information generation unit 224 may calculate the points in consideration of the movement distance in addition to the movement method. Note that the user to whom points are given does not necessarily match the user who uses the terminal device 1.

  The point here is used for a game installed in the terminal device 1, for example, and the game can be advanced more advantageously as more points are acquired. Moreover, it replaces with a point and you may produce | generate the item used in a game as provision information. As another example, it may be used for a certain campaign, and the user may receive a product from the campaign organizer according to the acquired points. In the above example, it is desirable for the user to acquire more points, but conversely, the points may be disadvantageous enough to be acquired for the user. In the present embodiment, one feature is that points are calculated based on the actual movement method of the user.

  FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a processing operation of the information processing system in FIG.

  First, the position positioning unit 123 of the terminal device 1 acquires the current position of the terminal device 1, that is, the current position indicating the current position of the user (step S11). Then, current position information indicating the current position is transmitted from the communication unit 11 to the server 2 via the network 3 (step S12).

  In response to this, the information receiving unit 221 of the server 2 receives the current position information from the communication unit 21 (step S21). Then, the movement information generation unit 222 generates user movement information based on the current position information (step S22). Further, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 specifies the user's actual movement method based on the movement method specifying information such as the user's movement information (step S23). Subsequently, the assignment information generation unit 224 calculates points based on the identified actual movement method of the user (step S25). Point information indicating the calculated points is transmitted from the communication unit 21 to the terminal device 1 via the network 3 (step S26).

  In response to this, the information receiving unit 124 of the terminal device 1 receives the point information from the communication unit 11 (step S13). And the output part 122 outputs point information as needed (step S14). As an example, the output unit 122 may be a display, and the points acquired by the user may be displayed on the display.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a point information display screen displayed on the display. In this example, 150 points are given for every 1 km on foot, and 1 point is given for every 1 km on a train. In the figure, 150 points are obtained by moving 1 km on foot, 40 points by moving 40 km by train, 20 points by moving 20 km by train, and then 300 points by moving 2 km on foot. Has been granted to users. As shown in the figure, the points given in a certain period may be displayed in time series, or the accumulated points so far may be displayed.

  Rules for calculating points can be arbitrarily determined. For example, health can be promoted by setting so that more points are given to the movement on foot than the train. In addition, by setting so that more points are given to movement by train than automobiles, it is possible to raise awareness of environmental problems and ease traffic congestion.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, by providing the actual movement method specifying unit 223 that specifies the user's actual movement method using the movement method specifying information, it is possible to calculate points according to the actual movement method. As a result, the assignment information can be generated from more viewpoints.

  Hereinafter, some specific examples of the method for specifying the actual movement method of the user will be described.

  As a first example, the user's current location transmitted from the terminal device 1 may be used as the user's movement information. In this case, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 stores various network information as matching information, and determines where the user is. For example, when the current position of the user is on the roadway in the road network information, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 determines that the movement method is an automobile. Moreover, the real movement method specific | specification part 223 judges that a movement method is a train, when a user's present position exists on the track | line in transportation network information.

  As a second example, the movement speed of the user may be used as the movement information of the user. In this case, the movement information generation unit 222 acquires the current position information from the terminal device 1 at a constant period, and calculates the movement speed based on the movement distance per unit time. And the real movement method specific | specification part 223 specifies a movement method according to a moving speed. For example, the actual moving method specifying unit 223 determines that the moving method is walking when the moving speed is constant at approximately 4.5 km / hour. In addition, when the moving speed is constant at 18 km / hour, the actual moving method specifying unit 223 determines that the moving method is a bicycle.

  In order to specify the moving method more accurately, the actual moving method specifying unit 223 may further use the matching information. For example, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 uses various network information to specify the network where the user is currently located. When the moving speed of the user is constant at approximately 80 km / hour and the user is moving on the highway, the actual moving technique specifying unit 223 determines that the moving technique is not a train but an automobile.

  As a third example, user acceleration may be used as user movement information. In this case, the movement information generation unit 222 calculates the acceleration from the change in the movement speed calculated as described above. Then, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 specifies the movement method in consideration of the acceleration pattern. For example, the actual moving method specifying unit 223 performs Fourier transform on the acceleration, and determines that the moving method is walking when there is a peak in the range of 1 Hz to 4 Hz, more specifically, around 2 Hz. In addition, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 determines that the movement method is a train when acceleration or deceleration within a predetermined range (for example, 1 km / h / s to 4 km / h / s) continues for a predetermined period.

As a fourth example, the user's movement history may be used as the user's movement information. The movement information generation unit 222 acquires the movement history of the user using the current position information of the user and various network information. Then, when the user stops at some signals but does not stop at the station, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 determines that the movement method is an automobile or a bicycle. In addition, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 determines that the movement method is a train when the user stops at the station but does not stop at the signal. Furthermore, timetable information such as trains may be used as matching information, and the actual movement method specifying unit 223 may further specify the type of train (station stop, express, etc.).
Moreover, the real movement method specific | specification part 223 may specify a movement method using POI information as matching information. For example, when there is a movement history to the POI that can be stopped only on foot, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 determines that the movement method is walking. In addition, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 may specify the movement method by comparing the time when the user stopped and the time when the signal at the stopped position was a red signal. When the time when the user stops with some signals coincides with the time when the signal for the pedestrian at the signal position is a red signal, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 determines that the movement method is walking.

  As a fifth example, user pass records may be used as user movement information. The movement information generation unit 222 can detect, for example, that the ticket has passed through the use of an IC card, or that the ETC card has been charged and has passed through a predetermined toll gate. In addition, a means (not shown) for detecting that the terminal device 1 has received a vehicle signal or an indoor signal, connected to a cradle, or connected to a network that can be used in an airplane is provided. You may detect whether it passed the position. In this case, the terminal device 1 is not necessarily provided with the position positioning unit 123. And the real movement method specific | specification part 223 can specify a movement method in consideration of the passed position.

  The above is merely an example, and there is no particular limitation on the method for specifying the movement method. Other methods may be used, and the above examples may be combined. For example, in the first example, when the user is on the roadway, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 further considers the movement history shown in the fourth example, and if there is a right or left turn at the intersection, the moving means is the car. If there is no right or left turn at the intersection, the moving means may be determined as a tram. Moreover, you may consider the continuity of a movement method. For example, if there is a record of boarding the Shinkansen, there is a high possibility that it will continue to board the Shinkansen. Therefore, even if the accuracy of the position positioning unit 123 is low and the current position of the terminal device 1 is determined to be on a conventional line running in parallel with the Shinkansen, the actual movement method specifying unit 223 moves. The method may be judged as the Shinkansen.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, points are calculated based on a user's actual movement method. On the other hand, in the second embodiment described below, a reference movement method (hereinafter referred to as a reference movement method) is set in advance, and this is compared with the user's actual movement method to obtain points. Is to be calculated.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram of an information processing system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, components common to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and different points will be mainly described below.

  In the server 2a of FIG. 4, the control unit 22a further includes a reference movement method setting unit 225 for setting a reference movement method. The setting method of the reference movement method is arbitrary, and may be set by, for example, the above-described game or campaign organizer that gives points, or may be set by the user. Further, the reference movement method may be constant or may change with time.

  FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a processing operation of the information processing system in FIG. Hereinafter, the difference from FIG. 2 will be mainly described.

  Prior to the calculation of the points, the reference movement method setting unit 225 of the server 2a sets the reference movement method in advance (step S20). When the user's actual movement method is specified, the assignment information generation unit 224 first compares the user's actual movement method with the reference movement method (step S231). Then, according to the comparison result, the assignment information generation unit 224 calculates points (step S24).

  More specifically, the assignment information generation unit 224 may calculate points depending on whether or not both movement methods match. For example, if the reference movement method is walking, but the user's actual movement method is a car, no points may be given to the user.

  Alternatively, the assignment information generation unit 224 may calculate points according to the degree of matching. For example, assume that the reference movement method is a train at each station. In this case, the assignment information generation unit 224 sets 100 points if the user's actual moving method is a train at each station stop, but may set 30 points if the user's actual moving method is an express train.

  Further, the distance from the departure place to the destination may be taken into consideration. For example, it is assumed that the reference movement method is walking from the departure point to the destination. In this case, the grant information generation unit 224 sets 100 points if the user's actual movement method is walking from the departure point to the destination, but the user's actual movement method is walking from the departure point to the intermediate point. If it is a car from the point to the destination, it may be 50 points.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, since the reference movement method is set, the given information can be generated from more viewpoints by comparing the reference movement method with the actual movement method of the user.

  This embodiment can be applied to the following games, for example. Moving a specified route by the designated moving method, that is, the reference moving method in the present embodiment, is set as a mission for obtaining points. If the actual movement method specifying unit 223 is not provided, the user's actual movement method cannot be specified. Therefore, there is a possibility that a user who gains points illegally appears ignoring the specified movement method. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the user's actual movement method is specified, unauthorized point acquisition can be prevented.

  1 and FIG. 4 are examples, and at least some of the configuration requirements in the server may be in the terminal device, or at least some of the configuration requirements in the terminal device are in the server. Also good. For example, the movement information generation unit 222 may be provided in the terminal device, and the movement information of the user may be transmitted from the terminal device to the server.

  At least a part of the information processing system described in the above-described embodiment may be configured by hardware or software. When configured by software, a program for realizing at least a part of the functions of the information processing system may be stored in a recording medium such as a flexible disk or a CD-ROM, and read and executed by a computer. The recording medium is not limited to a removable medium such as a magnetic disk or an optical disk, but may be a fixed recording medium such as a hard disk device or a memory.

  Further, a program that realizes at least a part of the functions of the information processing system may be distributed via a communication line (including wireless communication) such as the Internet. Further, the program may be distributed in a state where the program is encrypted, modulated or compressed, and stored in a recording medium via a wired line such as the Internet or a wireless line.

  Based on the above description, those skilled in the art may be able to conceive additional effects and various modifications of the present invention, but the aspects of the present invention are not limited to the individual embodiments described above. Absent. Various additions, modifications, and partial deletions can be made without departing from the concept and spirit of the present invention derived from the contents defined in the claims and equivalents thereof.
