And so on.

  When the information output unit 24 is a video display unit, the information presentation unit 222 converts the information to be presented into a video signal and outputs the video signal to the information output unit 24. When the information output unit 24 is an audio output unit, The information presentation unit 222 converts the information to be presented into an audio signal and outputs it to the information output unit 24.

  The dispatch request unit 223 requests dispatch from a selected taxi operator. Here, the selected taxi operator is a taxi operator selected by the user from the taxi operators presented by the information presenting unit 222.

  Next, the server 3 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the server 3 includes a communication unit 31, a control unit 32, and a storage unit 33. Before describing the control unit 32, the communication unit 31 and the storage unit 33 will be described.

  The communication unit 31 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information between the terminal device 2 and the control unit 32 of the server 3 via the network 5.

  The storage unit 33 is a fixed data storage such as a hard disk, for example, and stores various databases described later. The storage unit 33 does not necessarily have to be provided in the server 3 and may be provided in another device communicably connected via the network 5.

  The storage unit 33 has a route network database 331, a business area information database 332, and a service-related information database 333.

  The route network database 331 is a route search database, and includes, for example, map information and traffic network information as route network information. The map information includes map data such as a nationwide or local road map, and may include map object information (facility information, note information, symbol information, etc.) associated with the map data. The traffic network information is information that defines a traffic network or a road network such as a railroad or a bus, and includes information on a transportation system such as a station (bus stop), a route, a timetable, and a fare.

  The business area information database 332 is a database that stores taxi business operator identification information for identifying a taxi business operator and business area information indicating the business area of the taxi business operator in association with each other. The taxi operator identification information is, for example, an identifier (ID) assigned to each taxi operator, and the business area information is, for example, an area code.

  The service-related information database 333 is a database that stores taxi company identification information for identifying a taxi company and service-related information of the taxi company in association with each other. The service-related information is, for example, information on usable credit cards, electronic money, taxi tickets, gift cards, point services, mileage services, etc., and information on in-vehicle facilities, vehicle types, capacity, evaluation, word-of-mouth, and usage history. It may be. The service-related information is information including at least one of these pieces of information. Note that the taxi company identification information stored in the service-related information database 333 may be of the same type as the taxi company identification information stored in the business area information database 332, or may be of a different type. You may.

  The route network database 331, the business area information database 332, and the service related information database 333 are not limited to being stored in the same storage device, but may be stored separately in different storage devices.

  Next, the control unit 32 of the server 3 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 32 includes a route search unit 321, a taxi getting on / off place determination unit 322, a taxi company extraction unit 323, a taxi search request unit 324, a dispatch request information generation unit 325, It has a dispatch request unit 326, a movement information acquisition unit 327, and an output information generation unit 328. Hereinafter, details of each unit will be described, but these units may be realized by a processor in the server 3 executing a predetermined program.

  The route search unit 321 performs a route search based on search conditions received from the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 31. The route search unit 321 performs a route search with reference to the route network database 331 to generate travel route information indicating one or a plurality of travel routes that satisfy the search condition. The travel route information includes, for example, information such as a means of travel from the departure place to the destination, a travel distance, a time and fee required for travel, a departure time and an arrival time.

  The moving route obtained by the route search may be constituted by a single moving means (section) or may be constituted by a plurality of moving means (sections) depending on the search conditions.

  The taxi getting on and off place determination unit 322 is based on the moving route information indicating the moving route obtained by the route search, the taxi getting on place where the user of the terminal device 2 gets on the taxi, and the taxi getting off place where the user gets off the taxi. To determine.

  There are several methods for determining a taxi landing place, for example, as follows.

  The taxi getting on and off place determining unit 322 may determine the departure place of the moving route as the taxi getting on place and the destination of the moving route as the taxi getting off place.

  Alternatively, the taxi getting on and off place determining unit 322 extracts a section to be moved by a predetermined moving means from the moving route, determines a departure place of the section as a taxi getting on place, and determines an arrival place of the section as a taxi getting off place. You may. It should be noted that a taxi can easily be used as a transportation alternative when traveling by car or on foot. Therefore, the taxi getting on / off place determination unit 322 preferably extracts a section where the transportation means is a car or on foot from the travel route.

  Alternatively, the taxi boarding place determination unit 322 may determine the taxi boarding place based on the current position of the terminal device 2 acquired from the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 31. For example, the current position of the terminal device 2 may be determined as it is as a taxi platform, or a taxi platform near the current position may be determined as a taxi platform.

  Note that the taxi getting on and off place determining unit 322 may determine only one of the taxi getting on and off place. For example, the departure place of the moving route may be determined as a taxi ride place. Even if the taxi disembarkation location is not determined, the taxi company where the taxi ride location belongs to the business area is extracted by the taxi company extraction unit 323 described later. Similarly, the taxi getting on and off place determining unit 322 may determine only the taxi getting off place.

  Further, the taxi getting on and off place determining unit 322 may determine the taxi getting on and / or off place based on the search condition used for the route search. For example, when a departure place is set as a search condition (that is, when the search condition input unit 221 inputs a departure place), the departure place may be determined as a taxi ride place without performing a route search. When the destination is set as the search condition, the taxi getting on / off place determination unit 322 sets the current position indicated by the current position information acquired by the positioning unit 25 as the departure point, and sets the departure point and the set destination as May be used to determine a taxi ride place and a taxi drop-off place.

  More generally, the taxi getting on and off place determining unit 322 determines at least one of the taxi getting on place and the taxi getting off place based on the movement information acquired by the movement information acquiring unit 327 described later. You may.

  The taxi operator extracting unit 323 accesses the business area information database 332, and at least one of the taxi boarding place and the taxi getting off place determined by the taxi getting on and off place determining unit 322 belongs to the business area. Taxi operators to extract. It should be noted that the taxi business to be extracted may be a business group composed of a plurality of taxi businesses, or may be individual taxis belonging to the taxi business.

  The taxi search request unit 324 requests the taxi business extracted by the taxi business extraction unit 323 to search for a taxi that can be distributed to a taxi boarding place. More specifically, a taxi search is requested to a taxi search unit 421 (described later) of the taxi business server 4 of the taxi business.

  The dispatch request information generation unit 325 generates dispatch request information to be transmitted to the terminal device 2 based on the search result of the taxi search by the taxi search unit 421. The dispatch request information includes information (such as the name or identifier of the taxi operator) indicating one or more taxi operators that can dispatch to the taxi ride location.

  The dispatch request information generating unit 325 accesses the service-related information database 333 to obtain service-related information of a taxi company that can dispatch to a taxi boarding place, and includes the service-related information in the dispatch request information. Thereby, the service-related information of the taxi operator can be presented to the user together with the information of the taxi operator.

  The dispatch request information generating unit 325 may include the time of arrival at the taxi boarding place in the dispatch request information. Thereby, the arrival time of the taxi can be presented to the user, and the convenience for the user can be improved.

  The dispatch request unit 326 makes a dispatch request to the taxi business server 4 of the selected taxi business.

  The movement information acquiring unit 327 acquires movement information including at least one of a departure place and a destination. Here, the “movement information” is a concept including search conditions for performing a route search, in addition to information on a route obtained by the route search (movement route information).

  The output information generation unit 328 accesses the service-related information database 333 and acquires the service-related information of the taxi company extracted by the taxi company extraction unit 323. Then, the output information generation unit 328 generates output information including the taxi business operator identification information of the taxi business extracted by the taxi business extraction unit 323 and the service-related information of the taxi business.

  Next, the taxi company server 4 will be described. Although only one taxi company server 4 is shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of taxi company servers 4 are actually provided for each taxi company. As shown in FIG. 1, the taxi company server 4 has a communication unit 41, a control unit 42, and a storage unit 43.

  The communication unit 41 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information between the server 3 and the control unit 42 of the taxi company server 4 via the network 5.

  The control unit 42 includes a taxi search unit 421. The taxi search unit 421 may be realized by a processor in the taxi company server 4 executing a predetermined program.

  The taxi search section 421 receives a taxi search request from the server 3 and searches for a taxi that can be dispatched to the taxi boarding place determined by the taxi boarding place determination section 322.

  Note that the taxi search unit 421 may determine whether the distance between the destination of the real vehicle taxi and the place where the taxi is to be ridden is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, and / or that the real vehicle taxi is If the time interval between the arrival time at the destination and the desired boarding time is equal to or shorter than a predetermined time, the actual vehicle taxi may be included in the search results as a taxi that can be dispatched. As a result, taxi dispatch can be performed more efficiently. The taxi search unit 421, for example, grasps the destination and arrival time of the actual car taxi based on information obtained from a car navigation device mounted on the taxi via a wireless network. The desired boarding time is, for example, the current time in the case of taxi dispatch, and the departure time of the travel route in the case of reservation.

  If no taxi that can be distributed is found, the taxi search unit 421 may search for a taxi that can be distributed while gradually increasing the search range. Thereby, the taxi search can be executed efficiently. For example, at first, a taxi that can be dispatched is searched by using a circular area of a first radius centered on a taxi boarding place as a search range, and if no taxi is searched, a second radius larger than the first radius is searched. Taxi that can be dispatched may be searched using the circular area as a search range.

  In addition, the taxi search unit 421 calculates the time at which the taxi found by the taxi search arrives at the taxi boarding place or the time required for the taxi to arrive at the taxi boarding place, and transmits it to the server 3. Is also good. By presenting such information to the user, the convenience for the user can be improved.

  In addition, when a plurality of taxis that can be dispatched are found, the taxi search unit 421 may select a predetermined number from those with the shortest required time to the taxi boarding place and transmit the selected number to the server 3.

  The taxi search section 421 executes the above taxi search with reference to the taxi database 431. The taxi database 431 is stored in the storage unit 43 and stores the latest information on all taxis belonging to the taxi company (the current position, the status of whether or not the vehicle is in an actual vehicle, and the like).

  Next, an example of a processing operation of the information processing system 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2D.

  First, the search condition input unit 221 of the terminal device 2 inputs search conditions for a route search (step S11). Then, the communication unit 21 of the terminal device 2 transmits the search condition to the server 3 (Step S12), and the communication unit 31 of the server 3 receives the search condition (Step S21).

  Next, the route search unit 321 of the server 3 executes a route search based on the search conditions received from the terminal device 2 (Step S22).

  Next, the taxi getting on and off place determining unit 322 of the server 3 determines the taxi getting on and off place based on the travel route information (step S23). More generally, the taxi getting on and off place determining unit 322 determines the taxi getting on and off place based on the movement information acquired by the movement information acquiring unit 327.

  Next, the taxi company extracting unit 323 of the server 3 accesses the business area information database 332, and at least one of the taxi boarding place and the taxi drop-off place determined in step S23 belongs to the business area. Alternatively, a plurality of taxi operators are extracted (step S24).

  Next, the taxi search request unit 324 of the server 3 requests a taxi search from the taxi search unit 421 of the taxi company server 4 of the taxi company extracted in step S24 (step S25). When a plurality of taxi companies are extracted, the taxi search request unit 324 requests a taxi search from the server of each taxi company.

  When the taxi operator server 4 receives the taxi search request transmitted from the server 3 (step S31), the taxi search unit 421 executes a taxi search (step S32). When the taxi search is completed, the taxi search unit 421 transmits the taxi search result to the server 3 via the communication unit 41 (Step S33).

  When the server 3 receives the taxi search result (step S26), the dispatch request information generating unit 325 of the server 3 generates dispatch request information based on the taxi search search result (step S27).

  Next, the communication unit 31 of the server 3 transmits the travel route information obtained in the route search in step S22 and the dispatch request information generated in step S27 to the terminal device 2 (step S28).

  When the terminal device 2 receives the travel route information and the dispatch request information (step S13), the information presenting unit 222 presents the travel route to the user via the information output unit 24 (step S14). When presenting the travel route, the information presenting unit 222 presents the taxi travel request button A together with the travel route as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the information presentation unit 222 may present the taxi movement request button A in association with the section of the travel route. The travel route shown in FIG. 4 includes only a section in which the vehicle is a vehicle, and a taxi movement request button A is displayed in the section. The traveling route in FIG. 5 includes a first section in which the traveling means is a car and a second section in which the traveling means is a train, and a taxi movement request button A is displayed in the first section. By presenting the taxi movement request button in association with the section of the movement route in this way, even if there are a plurality of sections that can be moved by taxi on one movement path (for example, in the case of FIG. 5), the user Can easily select the section for which a taxi is desired.

Next, when the taxi movement request button is selected (step S15: Yes), the information presenting unit 222 identifies a taxi company that can dispatch to the taxi boarding location based on the dispatch request information, and outputs the information to the information output unit 24. (Step S16). For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the information presenting unit 222 presents taxi company selection buttons B1 and B2 for selecting a taxi company.
Note that the information presenting unit 222 may present service-related information together with a taxi operator selection button for selecting a taxi operator. This makes it easy for the user to select a taxi operator. In the screen example shown in FIG. 7, service related information is displayed together with the taxi operator selection buttons B1 and B2.

  In addition, the information presenting unit 222 may also present the required time to the taxi boarding place together with the taxi operator. Alternatively, taxi companies may be arranged and presented in ascending order of required time. Thereby, the convenience when the user selects the taxi operator can be improved.

  When the dispatch request information includes information indicating a plurality of taxi operators, the information presenting unit 222 presents the plurality of taxi operators in an order that considers the business area of each taxi operator. You may. Preferably, taxi operators are presented in the following order. Taxi operators who are outside the business area and where taxi stops are within the business area are presented with the first priority, and taxi companies that are within the business area are presented with the second priority. Then, a taxi operator whose taxi boarding location is within the business area and whose taxi disembarkation area is outside the business area is presented with the third priority. The first priority is given to taxi operators whose taxi locations are outside the business area and taxi exit areas are within the business area because it is necessary to return to the business area from outside the business area. That's why. By presenting the taxi operators to the user in the order in which the business areas are considered in this manner, the possibility that the user selects the first-priority taxi operator is increased, and the taxi operators can efficiently dispatch vehicles. become able to.

  Alternatively, the information presenting unit 222 may present only taxi operators that satisfy the conditions set in advance by the user. For example, the user's desired conditions for the taxi operator are set in advance on a setting screen as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 8, a taxi company that can use credit cards of card companies a and b and electronic money of electronic money x, y, and z and that can dispatch taxis with a capacity of 5 or more is set as a display condition. Is done. Thereby, the convenience when the user selects the taxi operator can be improved.

  Next, when the taxi operator selection button is selected (Step S17: Yes), the dispatch request unit 223 of the terminal device 2 requests the server 3 to dispatch the selected taxi operator (Step S18). ). Here, the selected taxi operator is determined by the taxi operator selection button selected by the user. For example, when the user selects (tap) the taxi operator selection button B1 on the screen shown in FIG. 6, the dispatch request unit 223 makes a dispatch request of the taxi operator X, and the user selects the taxi operator selection button B2. When the tap is performed, the dispatch request unit 223 makes a dispatch request for the taxi operator Y.

  The dispatch request unit 326 of the server 3 that has received the dispatch request from the terminal device 2 issues a dispatch request to the taxi company server 4 of the selected taxi company (step S29). Then, the taxi company server 4 receives the dispatch request from the server 3 (step S34). The taxi company server 4 issues a dispatch instruction to a taxi to be dispatched.

  In the above processing flow, the server 3 acquires the taxi search result from the taxi company server 4, performs the processing of steps S23 to S27, and transmits the travel route information to the terminal device 2 together with the dispatch request information. However, only the travel route information may be transmitted to the terminal device 2 first. For example, the travel route information may be transmitted to the terminal device 2 immediately after the travel route information is generated in step S22. In this case, when the user selects the taxi movement request button presented together with the movement route, the processing after step S23 is executed (however, steps S14 and S15 are not executed). By doing so, it is not necessary to perform a process for allocating a taxi even when the user does not want to move a taxi, and the processing load on the server 3 and the taxi company server 4 can be reduced.

  Alternatively, the terminal device 2 and the taxi company server 4 may be communicably connected to each other, and the dispatch request unit 223 may directly issue a dispatch request to the taxi company server 4 of the selected taxi company. Good.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the server 3 performs the route search based on the search condition received from the terminal device 2, and performs the terminal device search based on the obtained travel route information indicating the travel route. The second user determines the taxi boarding place where the user gets on the taxi and the taxi getting off place where the user gets off the taxi. As described above, since the taxi getting on and off place is determined based on the route search result, it is not necessary for the user to specify the taxi getting on and off place. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, user convenience can be improved.

  Furthermore, the terminal device 2 presents the taxi movement request button together with the movement route obtained by the route search, so that the user can be suggested to use a taxi. Thus, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to increase the number of options related to the user's movement and increase the number of taxi uses.

  Further, the server 3 provides the terminal device 2 with information indicating one or a plurality of taxi companies that can be dispatched to the taxi boarding place, based on the search result of the taxi search by the taxi company server 4, and the terminal device 2 Presents the information of the taxi operator provided from the server 3 to the user. As a result, the user can recognize the taxi operator and make a vehicle allocation request. For example, it is possible to request a taxi operator that the user favors a dispatch. In addition, by presenting the service-related information of the taxi business operator to the user, the user can easily select a taxi business operator that meets his / her request.

  In the above processing flow, after the taxi business is extracted by the taxi business extraction unit 323, a taxi search is performed by the taxi business server 4 of the extracted taxi business, and the taxi is generated based on the search result. Although the dispatch request information is transmitted to the terminal device 2 and presented to the user, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, after a taxi operator is extracted, the result may be transmitted to the terminal device 2 by the following processing and presented to the user.

  First, after extracting the taxi business in step S24, the output information generation unit 328 outputs the taxi business identification information of the taxi business extracted by the taxi business extraction unit 323, the service-related information of the taxi business, and the like. Generate output information including More specifically, the output information generation unit 328 accesses the service-related information database 333 and acquires the service-related information of the taxi business extracted by the taxi business extraction unit 323.
