(First Embodiment)
The information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment has a schedule for users of electronic devices such as mobile terminals (smartphones, mobile phones, tablet terminals, etc.) and personal computers (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "users"). It is a system that presents an alert to make the user aware of forgetfulness (that is, forgetting) or misunderstanding (that is, misremembering).

As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 2 and a server 3. The terminal device 2 and the server 3 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network such as the Internet.

The network may be either a wired line or a wireless line, and the type and form of the line may be used. At least a part of the terminal device 2 and the server 3 is realized by a computer.

The terminal device 2 is used by the user for schedule registration, route search, and the like, and is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The terminal device 2 may be a desktop personal computer.

As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device 2 has a communication unit 21, an input unit 23, an output unit 24, a storage unit 25, and a control unit 22. First, among the components of the terminal device 2, components other than the control unit 22, that is, the communication unit 21, the input unit 23, the output unit 24, and the storage unit 25 will be described.

The communication unit 21 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information between the control unit 22 and the server 3 via a network.

The input unit 23 is an interface for a user to input information to the terminal device 2, and may be, for example, a touch panel, a microphone, a touch pad, or a dial button in a mobile terminal. Further, the input unit 23 may be a mouse or keyboard of a desktop personal computer.

The output unit 24 is an interface for outputting various information from the terminal device 2 to the user, and is a video display means such as a liquid crystal display. As an example, the output unit 24 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for receiving an operation from a user through the input unit 23. The GUI includes, for example, a route search screen for setting (that is, inputting) a route search condition. The output unit 24 may have a speaker that outputs various information by voice.

The output unit 24 does not have to directly present the information to the user. For example, the output unit 24 may output a video signal or an audio signal to a video display means or an audio output means connected to the outside of the terminal device 2, or may output data to a printing device connected to the outside. May be output, or data may be output and stored in a storage device inside or outside the terminal device 2.

The storage unit 25 is, for example, a data storage such as an internal memory or an external memory (SD memory card or the like), and stores various data. The storage unit 25 does not necessarily have to be provided in the terminal device 2, but may be provided in another device (for example, a server) communicably connected to the terminal device 2 via a network.

The storage unit 25 stores the user's schedule information (hereinafter, also simply referred to as schedule information). The schedule information is, for example, registered in the storage unit 25 by the schedule registration function of the control unit 22. The schedule registration function may be a calendar function capable of registering a schedule in association with the date and time.

Here, the schedule information includes the schedule time and the schedule position.

The schedule position is a position (place) registered as a user's schedule. The schedule position may be registered as information in the same format as the planned movement position (for example, coordinate information or facility information) so that it can be compared with the planned movement position described later. Alternatively, the alert unit 223, which will be described later, may convert the schedule position into information in the same format as the planned movement position so that the scheduled position can be compared with the planned movement position.

The schedule time is a time registered as a user's schedule and is a time corresponding to the schedule position. The schedule time is, for example, the start time of the schedule at the schedule position.

Next, the control unit 22 of the terminal device 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 22 is an example of a schedule information acquisition unit 221 which is an example of a schedule information acquisition means, a movement schedule information identification unit 222 which is an example of a movement schedule information identification means, and an alert means. It has an alert unit 223. The control unit 22 uses the schedule information acquisition unit 221, the movement schedule information identification unit 222, and the alert unit 223 to perform various controls regarding the output of alerts for the user to notice the forgetfulness or misunderstanding of the schedule.

Specifically, the schedule information acquisition unit 221 acquires the user's schedule information including the schedule time and the schedule position from the storage unit 25. The schedule information acquisition unit 221 may acquire schedule information according to the activation of the navigation application. Normally, the route search condition is set after the navigation application is started, so by acquiring the schedule information prior to the route search condition setting, it is possible to quickly determine the presence or absence of the alert output described later. can.

The movement schedule information specifying unit 222 provides the user's movement schedule information (hereinafter, also simply referred to as movement schedule information) including the movement schedule time and the movement schedule position at the movement schedule time based on the route search condition set by the user. Identify.

Specifically, the movement schedule information specifying unit 222 specifies the movement schedule information based on the geographical condition and the time condition included in the route search condition.

For example, the movement schedule information specifying unit 222 may specify the movement schedule information based on any one of the combinations of the geographical condition and the time condition shown in the following (1) to (3).
(1) The geographical condition is the destination, and the time condition is the desired arrival time.
(2) The geographical condition is the place of departure, and the time condition is the desired time of departure.
(3) The geographical condition is the transit point, and the time condition is the desired transit time.

The movement schedule information specifying unit 222 may specify the information included in the setting result of the route search condition as the movement schedule information without executing the route search using the route search condition. As a result, the geographical condition and the time condition included in the route search condition can be immediately specified as the travel schedule information according to the setting of the route search condition, so that the travel schedule information can be quickly specified. The movement schedule information specifying unit 222 may specify the movement schedule information after waiting for the determination of the route search condition by executing the route search.

The alert unit 223 outputs an alert when the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent.

Here, "the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent" means that there is a discrepancy or contradiction between the schedule information and the movement schedule information that causes inconvenience to the user. For example, when the desired arrival time at the destination, which is an example of the scheduled travel time, is later than the schedule time, the user's inconvenience such as "delay" with respect to the schedule occurs. In order to prevent such inconvenience of the user from actually occurring, the alert unit 223 outputs an alert. In addition to this, for example, when the destination is different from the schedule position and the desired arrival time at the destination is the same as the schedule time, there is an inconvenience for the user that the schedule cannot be started at the schedule time. Corresponds to consistency.

On the other hand, the inconsistency between the schedule information and the movement schedule information that does not cause any inconvenience to the user does not correspond to the inconsistency. For example, when the destination is the same as the schedule position and the desired arrival time at the destination is earlier than the schedule time, the user's desired arrival time does not match the schedule time, but the user is "delayed" with respect to the schedule. No inconvenience occurs. In this case, the schedule information and the movement schedule information are not inconsistent, and the alert unit 223 does not output an alert.

The content of the alert by the alert unit 223 conveys the inconsistency between the schedule information and the movement schedule information. For example, the content of the alert may not reach the schedule position at the scheduled time if it moves according to the movement schedule information, or it may not be possible to move according to the movement schedule information when the schedule is executed. It conveys something. The “movement conforming to the movement schedule information” is not limited to the movement according to the movement schedule information, and also includes the movement that does not cause any inconvenience to the user even if the movement deviates from the movement schedule information. For example, even if the movement does not arrive at the destination on time, the movement that can arrive at the destination before the desired arrival time does not cause the user's inconvenience of "delay" with respect to the desired arrival time. The movement will be in line with the information. Further specific examples of the contents of the alert will be described in the operation examples described later.

In addition to the control related to the output of the alert, the control unit 22 receives, for example, input operations of the input unit 23 for various screens displayed by the output unit 24, and transmits the received input operation information to the server 3 via the network. Perform control. The control unit 22 may be realized by the processor in the terminal device 2 executing a predetermined program.

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

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 a network.

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

As shown in FIG. 1, the storage unit 33 has a route network information database 331.

The route network information database 331 is a database for route search, and includes, for example, traffic network information as route network information. The transportation network information is information that defines a transportation network such as a railroad or a bus or a road network. The transportation network information includes transportation route information, timetable information, fare information, and the like. Further, the information of the transportation network is expressed by a combination of the data of the node on the line network representation of the station or the like and the data of the link which is the line section between the nodes. Further, the information on the road network is expressed by a combination of data of nodes (nodes) on the road network representation such as intersections and data of links which are road sections between the nodes.

Further, although not shown, the storage unit 33 may include a map information database used for displaying a map, searching for a point, and the like. The map information includes map data such as road maps of the whole country or each region, and may include map object information (note information, symbol information, etc.) associated with the map data. Further, the storage unit 33 may include a POI (Point of Interest) information database used for searching facilities and setting destinations. POI information is information on facilities and events. The POI information includes name information and location information of facilities and events.

As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 32 has a route search unit 321.

The route search unit 321 uses the route network information to perform a route search based on the set route search conditions. The route search unit 321 transmits route information indicating the searched route from the communication unit 31 to the terminal device 2.

The schedule information acquisition unit 221, the movement schedule information identification unit 222, and the alert unit 223 may be provided in the control unit 32 of the server 3.

(Operation example)
Next, an operation example of the information processing system 1 of FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, first, the control unit 22 of the terminal device 2 activates the navigation application in response to the operation using the input unit 23 (step S21).

After starting the navigation application, the schedule information acquisition unit 221 acquires schedule information from the storage unit 25 (step S22). FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schedule information acquisition process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, in step S22, the route search screen S may be displayed by starting the navigation application, and the schedule information I may be read from the storage unit 25. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of schedule information as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. The schedule information acquired in step S22 is, for example, the schedule information as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 4, the schedule information includes "Hotel A" as the schedule position and "10:00" as the schedule time.

After acquiring the schedule information, as shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 22 sets the route search condition according to the operation using the input unit 23 (step S23). FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a first example of a route search condition setting process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. In the example of FIG. 5, the control unit 22 sets the destination “hotel A” and the desired arrival time “10:45” as the route search conditions by inputting to the route search screen S using the input unit 23. .. In the example of FIG. 5, when the route search condition is set, the "search" button instructing the execution of the route search is not operated. In the example of FIG. 5, the user shifts to the identification of the travel schedule information without waiting for the execution of the route search using the set route search condition.

After setting the route search condition, as shown in FIG. 2, the movement schedule information specifying unit 222 specifies the movement schedule information based on the route search condition (step S24). In the example of FIG. 5, the movement schedule information specifying unit 222 specifies the destination “Hotel A” and the desired arrival time “10:45” included in the setting result of the route search condition as the movement schedule information.

After specifying the movement schedule information, as shown in FIG. 2, the alert unit 223 determines whether or not the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent (step S25). In the examples of FIGS. 4 and 5, both the schedule location and the destination are “Hotel A”. On the other hand, the desired arrival time "10:45" is later than the scheduled time "10:00". In this case, the alert unit 223 determines that the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent.

When the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent (step S25: Yes), the alert unit 223 outputs an alert as shown in FIG. 2 (step S26). On the other hand, when the schedule information and the movement schedule information are not inconsistent (step S25: No), the alert unit 223 ends the process without outputting the alert.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a first example of an alert output process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 6 is an example of a guide (alert) transmitted when it is determined that the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent. More specifically, FIG. 6 is an alert indicating that the schedule position may not be reached at the scheduled time, or that the movement according to the movement schedule information may not be possible when the schedule is executed. This is just one example. In the example of FIG. 6, the alert unit 223 displays an alert to the effect that the schedule information (that is, the calendar) may not be in time. Further, in the example of FIG. 6, the alert unit 223 displays the scheduled time “10:00” and the desired arrival time “10:45” later than the schedule time side by side so that the inconsistency between the two times can be discriminated. is doing. By displaying such an alert, the user can be aware of the forgotten or misidentified scheduled time. In the example of FIG. 6, the display of the alert may be terminated in response to the operation of the "OK" button.

Next, a second example of the route search condition setting process and the alert output process will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a second example of the route search condition setting step as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a second example of the alert output process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

In the first example of the route search condition setting process and the alert output process described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, when the same destination as the scheduled position is set and the desired arrival time different from the scheduled time is set, It is determined that the schedule information and the movement information are inconsistent, and an alert is output.

On the other hand, in the second example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the destination “Hotel B” different from the schedule position “Hotel A” is set, and the desired arrival time “10:00” which is the same as the schedule time is set. Will be done. In this case as well, the alert unit 223 determines that the schedule information and the movement information are inconsistent. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the alert unit 223 displays an alert that the schedule and the location of the schedule information are different. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the alert unit 223 displays the schedule position “Hotel A” and the destination “Hotel B” side by side so that the inconsistency between the two positions can be discriminated. By displaying such an alert, the user can be aware of a forgotten or misidentified schedule position.

In both the first example (FIGS. 5 and 6) and the second example (FIGS. 7 and 8), the scheduled travel position is the destination and the scheduled travel time is the desired arrival time at the destination. This is an example. The first embodiment is not limited to these embodiments, and for example, the planned movement position may be the departure place and the scheduled movement time may be the desired departure time from the departure place, or the planned movement position may be a waypoint. The scheduled travel time may be the transit time of the transit point.

Even if the scheduled movement time is earlier than the start time of the schedule, it may be determined that there is an inconsistency as long as it is within a predetermined threshold value (for example, within 10 minutes from the start time).

If the schedule information is displayed every time the navigation application is started, the schedule is displayed even though the user has not forgotten or misunderstood the schedule, and the display of the schedule may give a complicated impression to the user. .. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, an alert is output when it is presumed that the user has forgotten or misunderstood the schedule due to the setting of the route search condition inconsistent with the schedule information. As a result, it is possible to make the user aware of the forgetfulness or misunderstanding of the schedule while avoiding the complicated presentation of the schedule. Further, according to the first embodiment, if the route search condition is set, it is possible to output an alert without executing the route search, so that the user can quickly notice the forget or misunderstanding of the schedule. Can be done.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the movement schedule information and the schedule information are inconsistent, the schedule position is not automatically set as the destination, so that the degree of freedom in setting the destination is maintained. You can also do it.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment for specifying the travel schedule information based on the result of the route search will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment.

In the first embodiment, an example of specifying the information included in the setting result of the route search condition as the movement schedule information without executing the route search has been described. On the other hand, the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the travel schedule information is specified based on the result of the route search. Hereinafter, such differences in the second embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the second embodiment, the control unit 22 of the terminal device 2 transmits the set route search condition from the communication unit 21 to the server 3 after setting the route search condition (step S23). (Step S27). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a first example of a route search condition setting step and a transmission step as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. In the example of FIG. 10, the control unit 22 sets the destination "hotel A" and the desired departure time "9:00" as the route search conditions by inputting to the route search screen S using the input unit 23. .. Further, in the example of FIG. 10, after setting the route search condition, the control unit 22 transmits the route search condition to the server 3 in response to the operation of the "search" button instructing the route search.

When the route search condition is transmitted, as shown in FIG. 9, the route search unit 322 of the server 3 receives the transmitted route search condition from the communication unit 31 (step S31).

After receiving the route search condition, the route search unit 322 executes a route search based on the received route search condition (step S32).

After executing the route search, the route search unit 322 transmits the route information indicating the searched route from the communication unit 31 to the terminal device 2 (step S33).

When the route information is transmitted, the movement schedule information specifying unit 222 receives the transmitted route information from the communication unit 21 (step S28).

After receiving the route information, the movement schedule information specifying unit 222 specifies the movement schedule information based on the received route information (step S24). FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a first example of a process of specifying movement schedule information based on a route search result as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. In the example of FIG. 11, the moving schedule information specifying unit 222 specifies the estimated time of arrival “10:40” to the destination “Hotel A” based on the route information.

After the movement schedule information is specified, as shown in FIG. 9, the alert unit 223 determines whether or not the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent as in the first embodiment (step S25). Then, if there is an inconsistency, an alert is output (step S26). FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a first example of an alert output process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. In the example of FIG. 12, the alert unit 223 has a schedule position and a destination of "Hotel A", whereas the estimated arrival time "10:40" is later than the schedule time "10:00", so that the schedule information And the movement schedule information are judged to be inconsistent. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, an alert indicating that the schedule information may not be in time is displayed. By displaying such an alert, the user can be aware of the forgotten or misidentified scheduled time.

Next, a second example of a route search condition setting process, a movement schedule information specifying process, and an alert output process will be described. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a second example of the route search condition setting step as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a second example of a process of specifying movement schedule information based on a route search result as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a second example of the alert output process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment.

In the first example shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, when the same destination as the schedule position is set and the estimated arrival time later than the scheduled time is specified as a result of the route search, the schedule information and the travel schedule information are obtained. Is judged to be inconsistent and an alert is output.

On the other hand, in the second example shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the destination “Hotel B” different from the schedule position “Hotel A” is set, and as a result of the route search, the estimated arrival time “10” which is the same as the schedule time. : 00 "is specified. In this case as well, the alert unit 223 determines that the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the alert unit 223 displays an alert that the schedule and the location of the schedule information are different. By displaying such an alert, the user can be aware of a forgotten or misidentified schedule position.

Next, a third example of the process of specifying the movement schedule information and the process of outputting the alert will be described. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a third example of a process of specifying movement schedule information based on a route search result as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a process of determining inconsistency between the movement schedule information and the schedule information as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a third example of the alert output process as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 16, in the third example, the travel schedule information specifying unit 222 identifies the estimated time of arrival “9:45” at the destination “Hotel B” based on the result of the route search. In the third example, the schedule position "Hotel A" is different from the destination "Hotel B". In this case, as shown in FIG. 17, the alert unit 223 calculates the required time from the destination “hotel B” to the schedule position “hotel A” by using the route search function of the route search unit 322. Then, the alert unit 223 compares the remaining time from the estimated arrival time "9:45" to the scheduled time "10:00" to the destination "Hotel B" with the calculated required time. In the example of FIG. 17, the remaining time from the estimated arrival time “9:45” to the schedule time “10:00” is shorter than the time required from the destination “Hotel B” to the schedule position “Hotel A”. Therefore, the alert unit 223 determines that the schedule information and the movement schedule information are inconsistent, and displays an alert indicating that the schedule and the location of the schedule information are different as shown in FIG. By displaying such an alert, the user can be aware of a forgotten or misidentified schedule position. In the example of FIG. 16, the estimated time of arrival “9:45” to the destination “Hotel B” is not specified based on the result of the route search, but the route is the same as in the first embodiment. It may be specified by the information included in the setting result of the search condition. In other words, the processes of FIGS. 16 to 18 are also applicable in the first embodiment.

According to the second embodiment, by outputting an alert when the movement schedule information and the schedule information specified based on the result of the route search are inconsistent, the schedule is avoided while avoiding the complicated presentation of the schedule. It is possible to make the user aware of the forgetfulness or misunderstanding of.
