  An example of the process of the smartphone 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6 are schematic diagrams illustrating an example of a process of the smartphone 1 according to the embodiment.

  An example in which a notification is transmitted from the smartphone 1 to the roadside device will be described with reference to FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the user 100 of the smartphone 1 is moving while walking toward the crosswalk ZC at the intersection. The communication area A1 illustrated in FIG. 2 indicates a range in which another device can receive a radio wave transmitted from the roadside device 200.

  The smartphone 1 determines whether the user 100 of the own device is moving in a predetermined moving mode. When determining that the user 100 of the smartphone 1 is moving in a predetermined movement mode (for example, walking), the smartphone 1 detects the approach of the user to the intersection by receiving a radio wave transmitted from the roadside device 200. Alternatively, the smartphone 1 may receive the signal of the positioning artificial satellite such as the GPS satellite and the map information to which the position information of the intersection is added, and detect the approach to the intersection. That is, the smartphone 1 compares the current position calculated based on a signal of a positioning artificial satellite such as a GPS satellite with the position information of the intersection added to the received map information, and for example, determines the position of the current position. When the distance between the coordinates and the position coordinates representing the intersection becomes a predetermined value, the approach to the intersection within the intersection range may be detected.

  When detecting that the user 100 of the own device is moving in a predetermined movement mode and approaching the intersection, the smartphone 1 moves the user 100 on the road at the intersection (for example, the pedestrian crossing ZC) after approaching the intersection. It is determined based on a change in the atmospheric pressure value, which is a detection result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 19, whether or not the moving probability is high.

  If the result of the determination indicates that the user 100 is likely to move on the road at the intersection, the smartphone 1 transmits a notification M1 to the effect that the user 100 is moving at the intersection to the roadside device 200, as shown in FIG. S11).

  When the roadside device 200 receives the notification M1 from the smartphone 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the roadside device 200 transmits a notification M2 for calling attention to the vicinity of the intersection toward the communication area A1 (step S12). In the embodiment, the roadside device 200 supports a communication standard for enabling communication with the smartphone 1. The roadside device 200 also supports a communication standard for enabling communication with a vehicle-mounted device mounted on the vehicle 300. The roadside device 200 may be divided into a transmission roadside device that transmits a signal to the smartphone 1 and a reception roadside device that receives a signal from the smartphone 1.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the notification M2 transmitted from the roadside device 200 is received by, for example, the vehicle 300 (vehicle-mounted device) traveling in the communication area A1.

  An example in which a notification is not transmitted from the smartphone 1 to the roadside device 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the user 100 of the smartphone 1 is moving while walking on the pedestrian bridge PW installed near the intersection.

  As in the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the smartphone 1 detects that the user 100 of the own device is moving in a predetermined movement mode and approaches the intersection. It is determined based on a change in the atmospheric pressure value, which is a detection result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 19, whether the possibility of moving on the upper side (for example, the crosswalk ZC) is high.

  As illustrated in FIG. 4, when the user 100 is moving on the pedestrian bridge PW, the amount of change in the atmospheric pressure per unit time exceeds the atmospheric pressure threshold value. The determination result that the probability of moving on the crosswalk ZC) is not high can be derived.

  As a result of the determination, when the probability that the user 100 moves on the road at the intersection is not high, the smartphone 1 does not transmit a notification to the effect that the user 100 moves at the intersection to the roadside device 200 as illustrated in FIG.

  An example in which a notification is not transmitted from the smartphone 1 to the roadside device 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the user 100 of the smartphone 1 is moving while walking on the underground passage UP installed near the intersection.

  As in the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the smartphone 1 detects that the user 100 of the own device is moving in a predetermined movement mode and approaches the intersection. It is determined based on a change in the atmospheric pressure value, which is a detection result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 19, whether the possibility of moving on the upper side (for example, the crosswalk ZC) is high.

  As illustrated in FIG. 6, when the user 100 is moving on the underground passage UP, the amount of change in the atmospheric pressure per unit time exceeds the atmospheric pressure threshold. The determination result that the probability of moving on the crosswalk ZC) is not high can be derived.

  As a result of the determination, when the probability that the user 100 moves on the road at the intersection is not high, the smartphone 1 does not transmit a notification to the effect that the user 100 moves at the intersection to the roadside device 200 as illustrated in FIG.

  The flow of processing executed by the smartphone 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a flow of a process performed by the smartphone 1 according to the embodiment. The process illustrated in FIG. 7 is realized by the controller 10 executing the control program 9A stored in the storage 9. Note that the process illustrated in FIG. 7 is repeatedly executed when the smartphone 1 is in an operable state. That is, the smartphone 1 may repeatedly execute the processing illustrated in FIG. 7 even in a mode in which power supply control is partially restricted, that is, in a so-called power saving mode.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the controller 10 acquires the detection result of the acceleration sensor 15 (Step S101).

  Subsequently, the controller 10 determines whether or not the user 100 of the smartphone 1 is moving in a predetermined movement mode based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor 15 (Step S102).

  As a result of the determination, when the user 100 is moving in a predetermined movement mode (step S102, Yes), the controller 10 determines whether the user 100 is approaching an intersection (step S103).

  When the controller 10 is approaching the intersection as a result of the determination (step S103, Yes), the controller 10 acquires the detection result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 19 (step S104).

  The controller 10 determines whether there is a high probability of moving on the road at the intersection based on the detection result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 19 (Step S105).

  If the result of the determination is that there is a high probability that the vehicle will travel on the road at the intersection (step S105, Yes), the controller 10 transmits a notification to the effect that the vehicle will travel at the intersection to the roadside device 200 (step S106), and proceeds to step S101. Return to the procedure.

  On the other hand, if the result of the determination is that the probability of moving on the road at the intersection is not high (step S105, No), the controller 10 returns to the processing procedure of step S101 without notifying of step S106.

  In step S103, when the result of determination is that the controller 10 is not approaching the intersection (step S103, No), the controller 10 returns to the processing procedure of step S101.

  In step S102, if the result of the determination is that the user 100 is not moving in the predetermined movement mode (step S102, No), the controller 10 returns to the processing procedure of step S101.

  As described above, the smartphone 1 according to the embodiment transmits a notification to the effect that the user moves at the intersection when the user approaches the intersection in a predetermined movement mode and is likely to move on the road at the intersection as it is. To the device 200. Therefore, the smartphone 1 according to the embodiment does not have to transmit a notification from the smartphone 1 to the roadside device 200 each time the vehicle approaches the intersection.
