[1. Outline of the first presentation process]
First, with reference to FIG. 1, an outline of the first presentation process among the presentation processes according to the embodiment will be shown. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a first presentation process according to an embodiment. The first presentation process is performed by the information processing apparatus 100.

The first presentation process will be described in detail later, but the first presentation process relates to a virtual point which is a virtual point where the user performs a predetermined action on the moving object. Based on the information, it is a process of presenting information about another user who is a user other than the user and who uses the virtual point to the user. Such presentation processing is referred to as "presentation processing 1-1".

Further, another first presentation process determines the order in which the user scheduled to board the mobile body is to be boarded in the mobile body based on the vacant seat information indicating the vacant seat status in the mobile body, and the determined order is given to the user. This is the process to be presented. Such presentation processing is referred to as “presentation processing 1-2”.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the system 1 according to the embodiment includes a terminal device 10, a mobile control device 30, and an information processing device 100. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the system 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the terminal device 10, the mobile control device 30, and the information processing device 100 are connected to each other via a network N so as to be communicable by wire or wirelessly.

The terminal device 10 is an information processing device used by the user. The terminal device 10 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), a desktop PC, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or the like. Further, the terminal device 10 has a touch panel display screen D. Further, it is assumed that an application (hereinafter, referred to as "app AP1") that enables information registration regarding the mobile body and presentation of various information regarding the mobile body is pre-installed in the terminal device 10.

The application AP1 acquires various information about the moving body by cooperating with the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment, and presents the acquired information to the user. Further, for example, the user can "favorite" information about the moving object to the application AP1.

Further, in the present embodiment, the mobile body targeted by the information processing apparatus 100 is assumed to be an “on-demand bus”. An on-demand bus is a type of fixed-route bus, but when a user performs a procedure using a communication means such as the Internet, for example, it is virtually installed via a detour line outside the basic route. Pick up the user at the bus stop. A bus stop that is virtually installed in this way is referred to as a "virtual bus stop" as opposed to a conventional physical bus stop that exists on a basic route (sometimes referred to as an "existing bus stop"). A virtual bus stop is an example of a virtual boarding point that is a boarding point for a user to board an on-demand bus (an example of a moving body) and is a virtual boarding point.

Further, in the following embodiment, the mobile body will be described as an on-demand bus, but the mobile body according to the embodiment is not limited to the on-demand bus that travels on the basic route according to the operation schedule. For example, the mobile body may be a shared on-demand bus in which the basic route is not determined and the user can be picked up at a place designated by the user one by one. Further, the moving body may be a shared taxi (shared taxi) capable of picking up the user one by one at a place designated by the user.

The mobile body control device 30 is a terminal device mounted on the mobile body. For example, the mobile body control device 30 acquires the current position of the moving body, the distance from the current position of the moving body to the bus stop, the estimated time of arrival at the bus stop, and the like, and transmits the acquisition to the information processing device 100. The current position of the moving body, the distance from the current position of the moving body to the bus stop, the estimated time of arrival at the bus stop, and the like may be acquired and calculated by the information processing apparatus 100.

Further, for example, when various sensors (for example, a camera, a motion sensor, etc.) are mounted on the moving body, the moving body control device 30 can acquire the information detected by the sensors from the sensors. Further, the mobile body control device 30 can transmit the information detected by the sensor to the information processing device 100. Further, for example, when the moving body is equipped with a buzzer for controlling the getting on and off of passengers (for example, a buzzer that outputs a warning sound when no more people can get on the moving body), the output control of the warning sound is performed. I do.

Here, the premise that the presentation process 1-1 is performed by the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. The information processing device 100 is, for example, a server device. As mentioned above, the on-demand bus may stop at an existing bus stop that actually exists, but it may also stop at a virtual bus stop that does not actually exist. Of course, the user cannot see the virtual bus stop. However, since the information processing device 100 can notify the user of the position of the virtual bus stop via the user's terminal device 10 (application AP1), the user can grasp the rough position of the virtual bus stop by using the terminal device 10. can do.

In such a case, for example, it is assumed that there are a user UX1 and a user UX2 who are going to get on the on-demand bus from the virtual bus stop Z. Further, it is assumed that the user UX1 and the user UX2 are completely unknown to each other (others). User UX1 and user UX2 will wait until the on-demand bus arrives at the position of the virtual bus stop Z notified via the terminal device 10, but at this position, for example, a pole, like an existing bus stop. , There are no benches or facilities (waiting facilities). Then, for example, if there is a user UX2 near the user UX1, there is no certainty that the user UX2 is really trying to get on the on-demand bus, and for example, it may be trying to take suspicious behavior toward itself. There may be a feeling of anxiety about whether or not there is. The same can be said from the viewpoint of user UX2.

Further, if the user UX1 is a woman and the user UX2 is a man, the above-mentioned anxiety is considered to be greater, and for example, the user UX2 may be misunderstood as a suspicious person when viewed from the surroundings. However, there is a high possibility that the anxiety will be alleviated if a certain degree of confirmation is obtained from the virtual bus stop Z that the users are trying to get on the on-demand bus, so to speak, for the same purpose.

Based on the premise that it is inconvenient for crime prevention among users, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment performs the presentation process 1-1. Specifically, as the presentation process 1-1, the information processing apparatus 100 obtains virtual boarding point information, which is information about a virtual boarding point which is a boarding point for a user to board a moving object and is a virtual boarding point. Based on the acquired virtual boarding point information, information about other users who are users of the virtual boarding point is presented to the user. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 presents information indicating the presence or absence of another user who is scheduled to board the moving object from the virtual boarding point as information about the other user.

Next, the premise that the presentation process 1-2 is performed by the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. As mentioned above, existing bus stops have, for example, poles, benches or facilities (waiting facilities). If there is such a visible physical target, the user can use this physical target as a marker, for example, to wait in a line in order until the on-demand bus arrives. Also, if you can wait in line like this, users often implicitly agree that you should board the on-demand bus in the order of the line, and if there are vacant seats, you should sit in the vacant seats in the order in which you boarded. ..

On the other hand, existing bus stops do not have visible physical targets, so users may not know where and how to line up. As a result, a situation may occur in which multiple users are somehow scattered in the same position and wait. In such a state, when the on-demand bus arrives, the users board in the order they like without worrying about other users around them, so if there are vacant seats, the user who boarded earlier will naturally try to sit in the vacant seats. do. Then, from the viewpoint of the user who could not sit in the vacant seat, negative emotions such as getting in and taking a seat freely even though they are not lined up may be born. Furthermore, there may be a dispute between users over vacant seats.

In order to solve such a problem, it is effective to assign the boarding order to each user in advance as if they were lined up in a situation where it is difficult to wait in line because there is no physical target. it is conceivable that.

As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment performs the presentation process 1-2 based on the premise in the situation where it is difficult to stand by side by side. Specifically, as the second presentation process, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires vacant seat information indicating the vacant seat status in the moving body, and based on the acquired vacant seat information, the user who is scheduled to board the moving body is used as the moving body. Decide the order of boarding. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 presents the determined order to the user. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires vacant seat information indicating the number of vacant seats possessed by the moving body as vacant seat information, and corresponds to the number of vacant seats in the order in which the user who is scheduled to board the moving body is to board the moving body. Determine the order.

Hereinafter, an example of the first presentation process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1. In addition, in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 is turned on from among the candidate positions by presenting the candidate of the installation position where the virtual bus stop is installed (hereinafter, may be referred to as “candidate position”) to the user. It is assumed that the demand bus is designated as the desired position for boarding, that is, the desired position for boarding. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 can further specify not only the desired boarding position but also the desired boarding time.

First, in the area shown in MAP1 of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the on-demand bus B1 (bus B1) travels on the basic route RT10. Further, existing bus stops ST1 and ST2 exist on the basic line RT10. Further, the position information where the existing bus stop ST1 is located is "S-PT1", and the position information where the existing bus stop ST2 is located is "S-PT2".

Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the current position of the user U1 is the current position “HP11”, the current position of the user U2 is the current position “HP21”, and the current position of the user U3 is the current position “HP31”. Users U1, U2 and U3 each have their own terminal device 10.

Here, in the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the users U1 and U2 have already indicated their intention to board the bus B1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1A, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a page P1a including information indicating where a candidate position exists on the MAP1 with respect to the terminal apparatus 10 of the user U1. Is displayed. Note that FIG. 1A illustrates the terminal device 10 of the user U3, but since the display UI (user interface) is the same for all users, FIG. 1A is the user U1 here. Explain as a thing.

The information processing apparatus 100 causes the candidate position CP1 on the MAP1 to display the icon F1 displayed as "ride here". Further, the information processing apparatus 100 displays the icon F2 displayed as "ride here" on the candidate position CP2 on the MAP1. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 displays the icon F3 displayed as "ride here" on the candidate position CP3 on the MAP1. When the desired boarding position exists in the candidate positions CP1 to CP3, the user U1 selects (for example, taps) the icon corresponding to the candidate position to display the boarding position for the selected candidate position. Can be done (you can specify the desired boarding position). In FIG. 1, it is assumed that the user U1 designates the candidate position CP1 as the desired boarding position, and further designates the candidate position CP1 to come to "10:05 on July 1, 2018".

In such a case, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the candidate position CP1 as the installation position where the virtual bus stop is installed, and installs the virtual bus stop at the candidate position CP1. The bus B1 according to the embodiment is an on-demand bus scheduled to arrive at the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018". The candidate position CP1 can also be rephrased as the installation position CP1. Further, "CP1" of the candidate position CP1 may include both concepts such as identification information for identifying the candidate position and coordinates indicating the position information of the candidate position, for example. The same applies to other candidate positions.

By the way, as described above, in the state where the virtual bus stop is set at the candidate position CP1 by the intention display by the user U1 and the bus B1 scheduled to arrive at "July 1, 2018 10:05" is generated at the candidate position CP1. It is assumed that the user U2 also refers to the page P1a of FIG. 1A and displays the intention from the candidate position CP1. That is, it is assumed that the user U2 also selects the icon F1 to specify the candidate position CP1 as the desired boarding position. When the user U2 makes such a designation, the estimated time of arrival "July 1, 2018 10:05" may be further displayed in the icon F1.

It is assumed that the user U1 and U2 access the information processing apparatus 100 in order to display the intention of boarding at the candidate position CP1 in the state where the user U1 and U2 also display the intention of boarding. In such a case, the information processing apparatus 100 presents the candidate position of the virtual bus stop to the user U3 (step S11). As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 causes the terminal apparatus 10 to display the page P1a as shown in FIG. 1 (a). It has already been decided that users U1 and U2 will board the bus B1 that is scheduled to arrive at the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018". Then, it is assumed that the user U3 also displays the intention from the candidate position CP1. That is, it is assumed that the user U3 also selects the icon F1 to specify the candidate position CP1 as the desired boarding position. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 receives from the user U3 the indication of the intention to board from the candidate position C1, that is, receives that the candidate position CP1 is designated as the desired boarding position (step S12).

Next, the information processing apparatus 100 updates the number of users scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018" (step S13). When the user U1 displays his / her intention, the information processing apparatus 100 updates the number of users from "0" to "1". Further, when the user U2 further displays the intention, the information processing apparatus 100 updates the number of users from "1" to "2". Then, at the time when the user U3 displays the intention this time, the information processing apparatus 100 updates the number of users from "2" to "3".

Next, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether or not it is the timing to present the information corresponding to the presentation process 1-1, and the timing to present the information (for example, until the bus B1 arrives at the candidate position CP1). If it is determined that the remaining time is less than 5 minutes), the user other than user U3 is scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018". Information about the user, i.e., users U1 and U2, is presented to user U3 (step S14). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 presents to the user U3 whether or not there is a user who is scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018" other than the user U3. do.

In the example of FIG. 1, in addition to the user U3, there are users U1 and U2 as users scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at “10:05 on July 1, 2018”. In such a case, the information processing apparatus 100 indicates to the user U3 that there is a user scheduled to board other than the user U3. For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the information processing apparatus 100 displays a page P1b including information J1 indicating that there is a user scheduled to board other than the user U3.

In the example of FIG. 1, from the user U1's point of view, there are users U2 and U3 as users who are scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018". Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 indicates that the user U1 has a user who is scheduled to board other than the user U1. From the user U2's point of view, users U1 and U3 are scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018". Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 indicates that the user U2 has a user who is scheduled to board other than the user U2.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether or not it is the timing to present the information corresponding to the presentation process 1-2. In other words, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the vacant seat information indicating the current vacant seat status in the bus B1 scheduled to arrive at the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018" (for example, the candidate position CP1). It is determined whether or not it is the timing when the remaining time until the bus B1 arrives is less than 3 minutes), and when it is determined that it is the timing to acquire the vacant seat information, the vacant seat information is acquired (step S15). ). For example, the mobile control device 30 included in the bus B1 detects vacant seats in the bus B1 and transmits vacant seat information based on the detected vacant seats to the information processing device 100. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 can acquire vacant seat information.

Next, the information processing apparatus 100 transfers a user who is scheduled to board the bus B1 scheduled to arrive at the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018" to the bus B1 based on the acquired vacant seat information. The order of boarding (boarding order) is determined (step S16). In this example, the users scheduled to board are users U1, U2 and U3 (users U1 to U3). Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the boarding order for the users U1 to U3 to board the bus B1. As an example, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires (monitors) the position information indicating the current positions of the users U1 to U3, thereby acquiring the order of arrival at the candidate position CP1. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 determines, for example, the earlier (younger) boarding order of the users U1 to U3, the earlier the arrival order is.

In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the arrival order of the user U1 is "1", the arrival order of the user U2 is "3", and the arrival order of the user U3 is "2". In such a case, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the boarding order "1" for the user U1, determines the boarding order "3" for the user U2, and determines the boarding order "2" for the user U3. .. Note that, for example, if there is a user with a physical disability among the users U1 to U3, the information processing apparatus 100 can ignore the arrival order for the user and preferentially determine the earlier boarding order. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 can allow a user with a physical disability to sit in an empty seat.

Then, the information processing apparatus 100 presents the boarding order to each of the users U1 to U3 (step S17). Taking the user U3 as an example, as shown in FIG. 1C, the information processing apparatus 100 displays a page P1c including information J2 indicating that the boarding order of the user U3 is “3”.

Here, for example, if the information J2 shown in FIG. 1C is presented to the user U3 before the information J1 shown in FIG. 1B is presented to the user U3, the user U3 is a user who is scheduled to board other than himself / herself. It may be possible to predict how many people there will be. In such an example, the user U3 may predict that at least one user is scheduled to board other than himself / herself. For crime prevention, it is preferable to hide how many users other than yourself are scheduled to board the bus B1 until just before boarding the bus B1. This is because if there is only one other user who is planning to board, he / she will do something wrong with that user, or if there are many other users who are planning to board, he / she will do something wrong with the group. Some people may think about doing it. The information processing apparatus 100 preferably presents information J2 after presenting information J1 in order to prevent such a situation from occurring. For this purpose, the timing in step S14 is set to be earlier than the timing in step S15.

By the way, the first presentation process among the presentation processes according to the embodiment has been described so far. First, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment can give the user of the bus B1 a sense of security in terms of crime prevention when using the bus B1 by the presentation process 1-1. For example, the user U3 indicates a bus stop because he / she can know in advance that there is a user other than himself / herself who uses the bus B1 scheduled to arrive at the candidate position CP1 at “10:05 on July 1, 2018”. At the candidate position CP1 where there is no physical target, even if there is someone, it is possible to get a sense of security that the person is not a suspicious person but the same user.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment can appropriately seat the user in the vacant seat of the bus B1 in a situation where it is difficult to wait in line until the arrival of the bus B1 by the presentation process 1-2. Since there is no physical target indicating a bus stop at the candidate position CP1, each of the users U1 to U3 will somehow scatter around the candidate position CP1 and wait for the bus B1, and no formation will occur. However, since the boarding order is assigned to the users U1 to U3 in advance, they can board smoothly even if the bus B1 arrives, and if there are vacant seats, they can sit in the boarding order. Therefore, there is no competition for vacant seats among users.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the detour route RT20 detoured from the basic route RT10 so as to go to the candidate position CP1 by installing the virtual bus stop at the candidate position CP1. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 instructs the bus B1 to pass through the detour route RT20 and stop at the candidate position CP1. For example, the information processing device 100 transmits information about the detour route RT 20 to the mobile control device 30 of the bus B1.

[2. Outline of the second presentation process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the outline of the second presentation process among the presentation processes according to the embodiment will be shown. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a second presentation process according to the embodiment. The second presentation process is also performed by the information processing apparatus 100. The second presentation process is the use of the moving object based on the boarding point information which is the information about the boarding point where the user gets on the moving object or the getting-off point information which is the information about the getting-off point where the user gets off the moving object. It is a process of presenting the position regarding the user to the user. Further, in the second presentation process, the moving body is an on-demand bus.

Here, the premise that the second presentation process is performed by the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. For example, the case where the user UX3 gets off from the on-demand bus will be taken as an example. Further, it is assumed that the user UX3 has previously registered in the information processing apparatus 100 that he / she wants to get off in front of his / her home (referred to as home H). In such a case, normally, according to the information processing apparatus 100, the on-demand bus stops in front of the home H to disembark the user.

In such a case, passengers who are still on the on-demand bus may find out, for example, that the home of the user UX3 is the home H through the window. For example, if the user UX3 gets off the on-demand bus and enters the building, the building may be presumed to be the home H of the user UX3 depending on the user who is looking at it through the window. .. Furthermore, if some passengers have special feelings toward the user UX3, it is extremely dangerous for the passengers to find out their home H in terms of crime prevention. In addition, the user UX3 may also want to prevent other passengers from knowing the location of the home H, and may want to hide the location of the home H from other passengers.

The simplest way to prevent passengers from discovering their home H is to disembark the user UX3 at a location some distance from their home H. In this case, depending on the position where the user UX3 disembarks, the route to the home H may be a route that is not safe in terms of security or traffic (for example, a dark route without street lights at night, a route with a history of suspicious persons, or an accident). There is a possibility of heading to home H by selecting a frequent route, etc.).

To summarize the above assumptions, from the viewpoint of crime prevention, it is necessary to get the target user on and off at a position where the passengers of the on-demand bus can hide a specific place (for example, home or work) from the passengers. Further, from the viewpoint of safety, the route between a specific place (for example, home or work) and the boarding / alighting position is preferably a safer route.

As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment performs the second presentation process based on the security of crime prevention and security. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 100 is based on the boarding point information which is the information about the boarding point where the user gets on the moving body or the getting-off point information which is the information about the getting-off point where the user gets off from the moving body. The position regarding the use of the moving body is determined, and the position information indicating the determined position is presented to the user.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 gets on a position that is a desired boarding point (or a desired disembarking point) and a desired boarding point (or a desired disembarking point) designated by the user is not specified by a moving passenger (or a desired disembarking point). Or, it is decided as the disembarkation) position. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 is a moving body based on environmental information indicating the surrounding environment of a predetermined area between a desired boarding point (or a desired disembarking point) and a desired boarding position (or a disembarking position). As a position related to the use of, the user's movement route from the desired boarding point (or the desired disembarking point) to the boarding position (or the disembarking position) is determined.

Hereinafter, an example of the second presentation process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 100 uses the position information of the desired boarding point to get on the on-demand bus (hereinafter referred to as “desired boarding position”) or the position information of the desired getting-off point to get off from the on-demand bus (hereinafter referred to as “desired boarding position”). Hereinafter referred to as "desired disembarkation position") shall be specified. In FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 is made to specify one of the candidate positions, but in FIG. 2, it is made to specify an arbitrary position without presenting the candidate position. In FIG. 2, the case where the user U4 gets off the bus B2, which is an on-demand bus, will be described as an example, but the processing performed by the information processing apparatus 100 is the same even when the user U4 gets on the bus.

First, the information processing apparatus 100 receives from the user U4 the designation of the desired boarding position or the desired disembarking position (step S21). That is, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the desired boarding position or the desired disembarking position. The desired boarding position is an example of information regarding a boarding point at which the user gets on the moving object. Further, the desired disembarkation position is an example of information regarding the disembarkation point at which the user disembarks from the moving body. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 receives from the user U4 the designation of the desired boarding position or the desired disembarking position by distributing the page P2a for inputting the desired boarding position or the desired disembarking position according to the access from the user U4.

In the example of FIG. 2A, on page P2a, an input field for inputting a desired boarding position, an input field for inputting a desired disembarkation position, and a check box when it is desired to hide the desired boarding point or the desired disembarking point from others. It includes a check box and an input field to additionally register the place you want to hide. In FIG. 2, it is assumed that the user U4 wants to hide his / her home HP1 (an example of the desired disembarkation point) from the passengers of the on-demand bus as the desired disembarkation point. In such a case, the user U4 inputs the position information (for example, an address) indicating the position of the home HP1 in the input field corresponding to the desired boarding position, and presses the OK button. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 receives the designation of the desired disembarkation position from the user U4.

Next, the information processing apparatus 100 identifies a bus heading toward the home HP1 and a traveling route heading toward the home HP1 (step S22). For example, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 100 specifies the bus B2 as a bus heading toward the home HP1 and the travel route RT30 as a travel route toward the home HP1. For example, a situation may occur in which a person gets on the bus B2 or gets off the bus B2 from any position of any of the traveling routes before entering the traveling route RT30. Therefore, there is a good possibility that a user other than the user U4 is on the bus B2 just before approaching the home HP1.

In such a state, the information processing apparatus 100 disembarks from the user U4 at a position where the home HP1 is not specified by the passengers of the bus based on the positional relationship between the home HP1 and the travel route RT30 on which the bus B2 travels. It is determined as the disembarkation position to be disembarked (step S23). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 is a position in the area AR1 which is an area within a predetermined range from the home HP1 so that the home HP1 is not specified by the passengers of the bus B2, and the home HP1 is a blind spot from the passengers of the bus B2. Is determined as the disembarkation position. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the position XP11 at which the travel route 30 is turned to the left as the disembarkation position after going straight on the travel route RT30 as in front of the home HP1.

For example, when the user U4 gets off in front of the home HP1, the traveling route RT30 in front of the home HP1 is going straight for a while, so passengers can see the user U4 entering the home HP1. Then, there is a risk that some passengers will identify that "that building must be the home of user U1". On the other hand, from the position XP11 after turning left on the traveling route 30, the home HP1 is a blind spot for the passengers of the bus B2, and the user U4 heads for the home HP1 at the corner, so that the bus B2 Passengers cannot also confirm which building the user U4 will enter. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 can hide the home H1 from the passengers of the bus B2 by determining the position XP11 as the disembarkation position.

Here, the user U4 has a plurality of movement routes from the position XP11 to the home HP1. In the example of FIG. 2, there are a movement route RT41, a movement route RT42, and a movement route RT43 as a plurality of movement routes. Which of these three travel routes is used depends on the user U4, but there may be routes with low safety from the viewpoint of crime prevention and security. The information processing apparatus 100 causes the user U4 to walk to the home HP1 by disembarking the user U4 at the position XP11, but it is possible that the user U4 is involved in some kind of crime or accident by walking. I want to avoid it.

Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 is located from the position XP11 to the home HP1 as a position regarding the use of the bus B2 based on the environmental information indicating the surrounding environment of the area AR1 between the home HP1 and the position XP11 which is the disembarkation position. Determine the travel route of the user U4 to.

In determining the travel route, the information processing apparatus 100 first identifies a candidate (candidate route) for the travel route from the position XP11 to the home HP1 in the area AR1 between the home HP1 and the disembarkation position XP11. (Step S24). In the example of FIG. 2, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 100 has specified three candidate routes such as a moving route RT41, a moving route RT42, and a moving route RT43.

Next, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates a score for each item such as the presence / absence of street lights, traffic volume, number of stores, number of crimes, and number of accidents for each candidate route, thereby indicating the safety of the candidate route. Calculate the score (step S25). This point will be described with reference to the “score information” shown in FIG.

First, the information processing apparatus 100 adds "+1" as a score when a street light exists in the candidate route, and adds "0" as a score when the street light does not exist. The information processing device 100 may add a higher score as the number of street lights increases. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 adds "+1" as a score when the traffic volume of the candidate route is more than the predetermined amount, and adds "0" as the score when the traffic volume is less than the predetermined amount. do. The information processing apparatus 100 may add a higher score as the traffic volume increases.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 adds "+1" as a score when the number of stores of the candidate route is larger than the predetermined number, and adds "0" as the score when the number of stores is less than the predetermined number. do. The information processing apparatus 100 may add a higher score as the number of stores increases.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 adds a score according to the number of crimes. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 adds a higher score as the number of crimes decreases. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 adds "0" as a score when the number of crimes is 0, and adds "-1" as a score when the number of crimes is 1. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 adds a score according to the number of accidents. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 adds a higher score as the number of accidents decreases. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 adds "0" as a score when the number of accidents is 0, and adds "-1" as a score when the number of accidents is 1.

In the information processing apparatus 100, the score "+1" is added because the candidate route RT41 has a street light, the score "+1" is added because the traffic volume is larger than the predetermined amount, and the score "+1" is added because the number of stores is larger than the predetermined number. Add "+1", add the score "0" because the number of crimes is 0, and add the score "-2" because the number of accidents is 2. As a total, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates "1". Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the safety score "1" for the candidate route RT41.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 adds a score "0" because there is no street light on the candidate route RT42, adds a score "0" because the traffic volume is less than the predetermined amount, and the number of stores is less than the predetermined number. The score "0" is added, the score "-1" is added because the number of crimes is 1, and the score "-2" is added because the number of accidents is 2. As a total, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates "-3". Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates a safety score “-3” for the candidate route RT42.

Further, in the information processing apparatus 100, the score "+1" is added because the candidate route RT43 has a street light, the score "0" is added because the traffic volume is less than the predetermined amount, and the number of stores is smaller than the predetermined number. The score "0" is added, the score "0" is added because the number of crimes is 0, and the score "-1" is added because the number of accidents is 1. As a total, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates "0". Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates a safety score “0” for the candidate route RT43.

Then, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the target movement route to be presented to the user U4 based on the safety score calculated for each candidate route (step S26). It can be said that the higher the safety score of the candidate route, the safer it is in terms of crime prevention and security. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the candidate route RT 41 having the highest safety score of "1" as the target travel route. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 presents the disembarkation position determined in step S23 and the movement route RT41 determined in step S26 to the user U4 (step S27). For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the information processing apparatus 100 has a page including information J3 indicating that the disembarkation position is the position XP11 and that the movement route RT41 is safe from the position XP11 to the home HP1. Display P2b.

As described in the figure, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment determines a position where the desired boarding point cannot be specified by the moving passenger as the boarding position. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 determines a position where the desired disembarkation point cannot be specified from the moving passengers as the disembarkation position. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 determines a more safe movement route as a movement route between the desired boarding point and the boarding position. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 determines a safer movement route as a movement route between the desired disembarkation point and the disembarkation position. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 can use the mobile body in consideration of crime prevention and security.

For example, if the user gets off the bus directly in front of the user's home, the passengers of the bus may identify the user's home, and getting off the bus in front of the user's home may not be preferable for crime prevention. However, since the information processing apparatus 100 can disembark the user at a position where the home is not specified, the user's crime prevention can be ensured. Further, since the information processing apparatus 100 can propose a safe route from the position where the user is dropped off to the home, the security and security after that can be ensured regardless of the position where the user is dropped off. be able to.

[3. Overview of display control processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 3, an outline of the display control process according to the embodiment will be shown. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of display control processing according to the embodiment. The display control process according to the embodiment is performed by the information control program. Specifically, the terminal device 10 performs the display control process according to the embodiment according to the control by the information control program.

Here, a premise that the terminal device 10 performs the display control process according to the embodiment by the display control program according to the embodiment will be described. For example, depending on the direction or inclination in which the user points the terminal device 10, it may be misunderstood that another person is photographed without permission from the surroundings. As an example, if the user operates the terminal device 10 at 90 degrees to the ground and there is a person in the direction in which the terminal device 10 is directed, the user can operate the person from the surroundings. You may think that you are shooting without permission. In addition, the user itself may not like this misunderstanding.

However, even if you do not feel like taking a picture of someone without permission, there may be a situation where you have to operate the terminal device 10 at 90 degrees to the ground. For example, instead of the virtual bus stop being invisible to the user, the user can know where the virtual bus stop exists via the terminal device 10 by the display control process by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment. can.

Since the terminal device 10 has an image pickup unit (camera function), a real space image captured by the image pickup unit is displayed on the display screen D. At this time, if the installation position of the virtual bus stop is present in the image of the real space captured by the image pickup unit, the display control process by the information processing apparatus 100 causes, for example, an image of the virtual bus stop to be displayed at the installation position. It is displayed as a three-dimensional (hereinafter referred to as "3D") virtual reality image. That is, a 3D virtual reality image in the shape of a virtual bus stop is superimposed and displayed on the image in the real space.

When such display control is performed, the user needs to confirm where the virtual bus stop exists by pointing the terminal device 10 in various directions, and in particular, the user does not turn the terminal device 10 downward. , It is required to perform confirmation work toward the front. Then, as mentioned above, it may be misunderstood that someone is being photographed without permission.

In order not to cause such a misunderstanding, the terminal device 10 should be operated toward the ground as much as possible, but as a matter of course, only the image toward the ground is displayed on the display screen D, so that the terminal device 10 exists in the front direction. It becomes impossible to confirm the position of the virtual bus stop to be obtained. Therefore, even if the terminal device 10 is directed toward the ground, if the front image is also displayed on the display screen D, the position of the virtual bus stop can be confirmed without causing any misunderstanding.

Based on such a premise, the display control program causes the terminal device 10 to perform the display control process according to the embodiment. Specifically, the display control program has a detection procedure for detecting the shooting direction and tilt of the terminal device 10, and a terminal device when it is determined that the tilt detected by the detection procedure satisfies predetermined condition information. The terminal device 10 is made to execute a display control procedure for displaying information on the shooting direction on the 10. For example, in the display control procedure, when the predetermined condition information is satisfied and the inclination detected by the detection procedure is equal to or less than a predetermined angle, the terminal device 10 causes the terminal device 10 to display information regarding the shooting direction.

Hereinafter, an example of the display control process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the example of the figure, when the candidate position CP1 described with reference to FIG. 1 exists in the real space captured by the image pickup unit 13 (camera) of the terminal device 10, the display control process by the information processing device 100 causes the real space. A 3D virtual reality image in the shape of a virtual bus stop is superimposed and displayed on the image of. It should be noted that the display control process by the information processing apparatus 100 and the display control process by the display control program are linked to each other and can be interpreted as one display control process. The display control program is also a kind of application program (camera application) that controls the image pickup unit 13.

Further, in FIG. 3, among the users U1 to U3 who have indicated their intention to board the bus B1 with respect to the candidate position CP1, the terminal device 10 of the user U3 will be described as an example. Since the candidate position CP1 does not have a physical target indicating the existence of a bus stop, in FIG. 3, the user U3 activates the camera application of the terminal device 10 to capture the real space captured by the image pickup unit 13. The work of searching for the position of the candidate position CP1 while viewing the image displayed on the display screen D, which is an image of the image, is being performed.

First, FIG. 3A is a view of the user U3 and the surrounding environment of the user U3 from the sky. The terminal device 10 has a built-in image pickup unit 13. In other words, the image pickup unit 13 is integrated with the main body of the terminal device 10. Therefore, the direction in which the terminal device 10 is pointed by the user U3 corresponds to the shooting direction in which the image pickup unit 13 shoots. In the present embodiment, the shooting direction of the terminal device 10 means the direction in which the image pickup unit 13 takes a picture (direction of north, south, east, and west) or the direction in which the image pickup unit 13 is directed (direction of north, south, east, and west). Shall be included. Further, in the example of FIG. 3A, the current shooting direction of the terminal device 10 is defined as the shooting direction PD1. Specifically, the photographing direction PD1 is the front direction to which the terminal device 10 is directed. More specifically, the photographing direction PD1 is the front direction toward which the upper end of the terminal device 10 is directed.

In the shooting direction PD1, there is a female person NP, and behind the person NP, a detour route RT20 shown in MAP1 of FIG. 1 passes. Further, the detour route RT20 has a candidate position CP1.

Next, FIG. 3B is a diagram showing the current inclination of the terminal device 10. In the present embodiment, the inclination of the terminal device 10 is defined as the angle of the terminal device 10 with respect to the ground. In FIG. 3B, the terminal device 10 is viewed from the side, and the terminal device 10 is tilted at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal ground.

As described above, from the drawings of FIGS. 3A and 3B, the user U3 tilts the terminal device 10 at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the ground and points the terminal device 10 toward the shooting direction PD1. I have it in a state of being. That is, the image pickup unit 13 can be acquired (by a lens) when the terminal device 10 is tilted at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the ground and the terminal device 10 is oriented in the shooting direction PD1. The image of the space will be displayed on the display screen D. Briefly, from the examples of FIGS. 3A and 3B, the user U3 uses the terminal device 10 to display the front view of the user U3 on the display screen D.

Here, according to FIG. 3A, since there is a person NP in front of the user U3 at present, the user U3 only wants to confirm the position of the virtual bus stop using the terminal device 10, but the person NP It may be misunderstood that he was photographed without permission. Further, when there is a person around, there is a possibility that the user U3 may misunderstand that the person NP is being photographed without permission. Therefore, the terminal device 10 executes the following processing according to the control of the display control program according to the embodiment.

The terminal device 10 constantly detects the shooting direction and tilt of the own device. The definition of the shooting direction and the tilt has already been explained above, but in the terminal device 10, the shooting direction is the direction in which the image pickup unit 13 of the terminal device 10 is directed, and the tilt is the angle of the terminal device 10 with respect to the ground. Detects the corresponding tilt. In the examples of FIGS. 3A and 3B, the terminal device 10 detects that the shooting direction is the shooting direction PD1 and the inclination is 90 degrees.

Then, when the terminal device 10 detects that the inclination is 90 degrees, the terminal device 10 hides the image of the shooting direction PD1 previously displayed on the display screen D.

Here, the fact that the inclination is 90 degrees makes it look as if the person himself is being photographed from the perspective of the person NP. However, even for the user U3, the image in the shooting direction PD1, that is, the front image cannot be displayed on the display screen D unless the tilt is set to about 90 degrees. The fact that the image in the shooting direction PD1 cannot be displayed on the display screen D means that the image in the real space including the candidate position CP1 that should exist somewhere in front can be displayed on the display screen D. It means you can't. For example, as shown in FIG. 3C, when the angle of the terminal device 10 with respect to the ground is set to about 30 degrees or less, it may not look like the person is being photographed from the viewpoint of the person NP. .. However, only the state of the ground is displayed on the display screen D, which is inconvenient for the user U3 who wants to search for the candidate position CP1.

As shown in FIG. 3C, if the image of the shooting direction PD1 can be displayed on the display screen D even when the angle of the terminal device 10 with respect to the ground is set to about 30 degrees or less, the user U3 misunderstands. The candidate position CP1 can be searched for without being performed.

Therefore, when the angle of the terminal device 10 with respect to the ground is 30 degrees or less as an inclination, the terminal device 10 causes the terminal device 10 to display information regarding the shooting direction PD1. This point will be described with reference to FIG. 3 (c). As shown in FIG. 3B, the user U3 reduces the inclination of the terminal device 10 from 90 degrees because the image in the shooting direction PD1 is hidden. During this time, the terminal device 10 also detects the tilt of its own device. Then, when the terminal device 10 detects that the angle of the own device is 30 degrees or less, the terminal device 10 displays the image captured by the imaging unit 13 and the image in the shooting direction PD1. At this time, the terminal device 10 does not display the image captured by the imaging unit 13 as it is, but displays the image VG1 which is a 3D virtual reality image corresponding to the image. More specifically, the terminal device 10 displays the image VG1 in the area RE1 in the upper half of the display screen D.

Further, when the terminal device 10 detects that the angle of its own device is 30 degrees or less, it is a current real-space image captured by the imaging unit 13, and corresponds to an angle of 30 with the shooting direction PD1. The video RG1 which is a video is displayed. Specifically, the terminal device 10 displays the video RG1 in the area RE2 in the lower half of the display screen D.

Summarizing the above, when the terminal device 10 detects that the angle of its own device is 30 degrees or less, it displays an image VG1 which is a 3D virtual reality image showing the scenery of the shooting direction PD1 on the upper half of the display screen D. Then, in the lower half of the display screen D, the scenery in the direction corresponding to the shooting direction PD1 and the angle 30 is displayed as it is. For this reason, the user U3 can display the scenery of the shooting direction PD1 on the upper half of the display screen D without tilting the terminal device 10 to an angle of 90 degrees, which is misunderstood as unauthorized shooting. You can search for the candidate position CP1 without any. Therefore, the display control program according to the embodiment can eliminate the social anxiety associated with unauthorized photography using the terminal device 10.

In addition, using FIG. 3, when the terminal device 10 follows the control of the display control program and the inclination of the terminal device 10 is equal to or less than a predetermined angle, a virtual image corresponding to the scenery in the shooting direction is displayed in the upper half of the screen. An example of displaying a real image in the lower half of the screen in the current direction is shown. However, the terminal device 10 hides the current image when the image is captured by the image pickup unit 13 and a person is present in the image in the direction to which the image pickup unit 13 is directed. Then, the terminal device 10 instructs the user U3 to change the posture of the terminal device 10 until no person is present in the image captured by the image pickup unit 13. Then, when the person does not exist in the image captured by the image pickup unit 13 due to the change in the posture of the terminal device 10, the terminal device 10 performs the same display control as in FIG. 3 (c). conduct.

Specifically, when the person disappears from the image captured by the image pickup unit 13, the terminal device 10 displays the image captured by the image pickup unit 13 and displays the image in the shooting direction PD1. do. That is, the terminal device 10 displays the image VG1 which is the image captured by the imaging unit 13 and is the 3D virtual reality image corresponding to the image in the shooting direction PD1 in the upper half of the screen. Further, the terminal device 10 displays the image RG1 which is the current real space image captured by the image pickup unit 13 in the lower half of the screen.

For example, when the user U3 holds the terminal device 10 at an angle of 90 degrees as shown in FIG. 3B, a person is often included in the image captured by the image pickup unit 13. In such a case, the user U3 may change the posture of the terminal device 10 so that a person does not enter the image, for example, as shown in FIG. 3C. However, in such a posture, the user U3 cannot confirm the position of the virtual bus stop that may exist in the front direction.

Therefore, in the terminal device 10, for example, when the user U3 holds the terminal device 10 at an angle of 90 degrees and a person is present in the image captured by the imaging unit 13, the person is present. The user U3 is instructed to change the posture of the terminal device 10 until the terminal device 10 does not. Then, for example, even when a person disappears from the image due to the change of the posture of the terminal device 10 as shown in FIG. 3C, the terminal device 10 takes a view of the shooting direction PD1. The corresponding virtual reality image is displayed in the upper half of the display screen D.

As a result, the user U3 can search for the candidate position CP1 without being mistaken for unauthorized shooting. Therefore, the display control program according to the embodiment can eliminate the social anxiety associated with unauthorized photography using the terminal device 10.

The communication unit 11 is realized by, for example, a NIC or the like. Then, the communication unit 11 is connected to the network N by wire or wirelessly, and transmits / receives information to / from, for example, the mobile control device 30 and the information processing device 100.

(About display unit 12)
The display unit 12 is a display device that displays various types of information, and corresponds to a so-called display screen. For example, a touch panel is adopted for the display unit 12. Further, the display unit 12 displays, for example, an image captured from the lens by the image pickup unit 13. In the present embodiment, the display unit 12 corresponds to the display screen D.

(About the image pickup unit 13)
The image pickup unit 13 is a device that has a built-in image pickup element and captures an image or a moving image. The image pickup device may be any of CCD (Charge Coupled Device), COMS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) and the like. For example, the image pickup unit 13 can take a picture of an image captured from a lens and currently displayed on the display unit 12 as a still image, or can take a moving image.

(About application control unit 14)
The application control unit 14 is realized by executing various programs stored in the storage device inside the terminal device 10 using the RAM as a work area by a CPU, an MPU, or the like. Further, the application control unit 14 is realized by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC or FPGA. Further, the application control unit 14 is a processing unit executed by the display control program according to the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 10, the application control unit 14 has a detection unit 14a, an instruction unit 14b, and a display control unit 14c, and realizes or executes an information processing function or operation described below. The internal configuration of the application control unit 14 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 10, and may be any other configuration as long as it is configured to perform information processing described later. Further, the connection relationship of each processing unit included in the application control unit 14 is not limited to the connection relationship shown in FIG. 10, and may be another connection relationship.

(About the detector 14a)
The detection unit 14a detects the shooting direction and tilt of the terminal device. For example, the detection unit 14a detects the direction in which the image pickup unit 13 of the terminal device 10 is directed as the shooting direction and the inclination corresponding to the angle of the terminal device 10 with respect to the ground as the inclination. In the examples of FIGS. 3A and 3B, the detection unit 14a detects that the shooting direction is the shooting direction PD1 and the inclination is 90 degrees. The detection unit 14a may be, for example, various sensors such as a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a geomagnetic sensor.

(About the indicator 14b)
When a person is present in the image corresponding to the shooting direction, the instruction unit 14b is in the posture of the terminal device until the person is no longer present in the image captured by the image pickup unit of the terminal device. Have the computer perform further instructions to instruct the user to change.

(About display control unit 14c)
When the display control unit 14c determines that the inclination detected by the detection unit 14a satisfies the predetermined condition information, the display control unit 14c causes the terminal device 10 to display information regarding the shooting direction. For example, the display control unit 14c causes the terminal device 10 to display information regarding the shooting direction when the inclination detected by the detection unit 14a is equal to or less than a predetermined angle, assuming that the predetermined condition information is satisfied.

Further, the display control unit 14c may display information regarding the shooting direction when a person is present in the image corresponding to the shooting direction. For example, the display control unit 14c is an image captured by the image pickup unit 13 of the terminal device 10 as an image corresponding to the shooting direction, and a person is present in the image in the direction to which the image pickup unit 13 is directed. If so, display information about the shooting direction. For example, when the display control unit 14c changes the posture of the terminal device 10 in response to an instruction from the instruction unit 14b and the person disappears from the image captured by the image pickup unit 13, the display control unit 14c does not have a person. Display information about the shooting direction.

Further, the display control unit 14c displays the image captured by the imaging unit 13 of the terminal device 10 as the information regarding the shooting direction, and displays the image in the shooting direction. For example, the display control unit 14c displays a virtual reality image corresponding to the image in the shooting direction. For example, the display control unit 14c causes the virtual reality image corresponding to the image in the shooting direction to be displayed in a predetermined area (for example, the upper half area of the display screen) in the display screen of the terminal device. Further, the display control unit 14c displays the image currently captured by the imaging unit 13 in the current real space in an area other than a predetermined area (for example, the lower half area of the display screen).

In the example of FIG. 3, the detection unit 14a constantly detects the shooting direction and the tilt. In the examples of FIGS. 3A and 3B, the detection unit 14a detects that the shooting direction is the shooting direction PD1 and the inclination is 90 degrees. In such a case, the display control unit 14c hides the image of the shooting direction PD1 previously displayed on the display screen D because the inclination is 90 degrees.

Here, it is assumed that the user U3 changes the posture of the terminal device 10 because the image is hidden. For example, it is assumed that the user U3 tilts the terminal device to 30 degrees. That is, it is assumed that the detection unit 14a has detected that the inclination of the terminal device has reached 30 degrees. In such a case, the display control unit 14c determines that the inclination detected by the detection unit 14a satisfies the condition information, and is an image captured by the image pickup unit 13, which is a 3D virtual reality image corresponding to the image in the shooting direction PD1. The image VG1 is displayed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3C, the display control unit 14c causes the image VG1 to be displayed in the area RE1 in the upper half of the display screen D.

When the image captured by the imaging unit 13 includes the candidate position CP1 in the image in the shooting direction PD1, the display control unit 14c cooperates with the display control unit 131g of the information processing device 100. Then, an image showing a virtual bus stop is displayed at the candidate position CP1.

Further, the display control unit 14c determines that the inclination detected by the detection unit 14a satisfies the condition information, and is the current real space image captured by the image pickup unit 13, and the angle with the shooting direction PD1 is 30. The video RG1, which is the corresponding video, is displayed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3C, the display control unit 14c displays the video RG1 in the lower half area RE2 of the display screen D.

[7. Processing procedure (1)]
(About the first presentation process)
Hereinafter, the contents of the control processing executed and realized by each processing unit of the information control device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the first presentation process according to the embodiment. An example of the first presentation process has been described with reference to FIG. Therefore, here, the example of FIG. 1 will be used as appropriate. Here, it is assumed that the users U1 and U2 have already indicated their intention to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1.

In such a state, the first presenting unit 131e presents (delivers) the page P1a for designating the desired boarding position from the candidate positions CP1 to CP3 to the user U3 in response to the access from the user U3. ) (Step S101). Then, the point information acquisition unit 131a accepts the designation of the desired boarding position from the user U3 (step S102). It is assumed that the user U3 has designated the candidate position CP1 as the desired boarding position. In such a case, the point information acquisition unit 131a acquires the user ID "U3" as user information indicating that the user who has indicated the intention to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 is the user U3.

Next, the update unit 131b updates the number of users scheduled to board the bus B1 at the same time from the candidate position CP1 which is the designated desired boarding position (step S103). In the example of FIG. 1, the update unit 131b updates the number of users scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018".

Next, the first presentation unit 131e determines whether or not the condition that the remaining time until the bus B1 arrives at the candidate position CP1 which is the desired boarding position is 5 minutes is satisfied (step S104). If the remaining time is longer than 5 minutes (step S104; No), the first presenting unit 131e waits until the remaining time reaches 5 minutes. On the other hand, when the remaining time is 5 minutes (step S104; Yes), the first presenting unit 131e presents the presence / absence of another user to the user U3 (step S105). Specifically, the first presentation unit 131e determines whether or not there is a user who is scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018" other than the user U3. Present to user U3. In the example of FIG. 1, the first presentation unit 131e presents to the user U3 that there is a user scheduled to board other than the user U3.

Next, the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c determines whether or not the condition that the remaining time until the bus B1 arrives at the candidate position CP1 is 3 minutes is satisfied (step S106). If the remaining time is longer than 3 minutes (step S106; No), the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c waits until the remaining time reaches 3 minutes. On the other hand, when the remaining time is 3 minutes (step S106; Yes), the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c acquires the current vacant seat information of the bus B1 and the order of arrival at the candidate position CP1 (step S107). ). At this point, the users U1 to U3 do not always arrive at the candidate position CP1. In such a case, the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c may predict the order of arrival of the users U1 to U3 at the candidate positions CP1. For example, the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c calculates the distance from the current position of each of the users U1 to U3 to the candidate position CP1, and predicts the arrival order in ascending order of the calculated distance. For example, the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c predicts the earliest arrival order as the distance is shorter.

Next, the boarding order determination unit 131d is scheduled to arrive at the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018" based on the vacant seat information acquired by the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c and the boarding order. For the user who is scheduled to board the bus B1, the order of boarding the bus B1 (boarding order) is determined (step S108). In the example of FIG. 1, the boarding order determination unit 131d determines the boarding order "1" for the user U1, determines the boarding order "3" for the user U2, and determines the boarding order "3" for the user U3. 2 ”is decided.

Then, the first presentation unit 131e presents the boarding order determined by the boarding order determination unit 131d to each of the users U1 to U3 (step S109). Taking the user U3 as an example, as shown in FIG. 1C, the first presenting unit 131e presents the page P1c including the information J2 indicating that the boarding order of the user U3 is “3” to the user U3. do.

(About the second presentation process)
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the second presentation process according to the embodiment. An example of the second presentation process has been described with reference to FIG. Therefore, here, the example of FIG. 2 will be used as appropriate. Further, here, the user to be presented will be described as the user U4.

The registration information receiving unit 132a receives from the user U4 the designation of the desired boarding position or the desired disembarking position (step S201). For example, the registration information receiving unit 132a receives from the user U4 the designation of the desired boarding position or the desired disembarking position by distributing the page P2a for inputting the desired boarding position or the desired disembarking position according to the access from the user U4. .. As shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the registration information receiving unit 132a receives the designation of the position of the home HP1 which is the desired disembarkation point from the user U4 as the designation of the desired disembarkation position.

Next, the boarding / alighting position determining unit 132b identifies a bus heading toward the home HP1 and a traveling route heading toward the home HP1 (step S202). For example, it is assumed that the boarding / alighting position determining unit 132b specifies the bus B2 as a bus heading toward the home HP1 and the traveling route RT30 as a traveling route toward the home HP1. Then, the boarding / alighting position determining unit 132b determines the position where the home HP1 becomes a blind spot from the passengers of the bus B2 as the disembarking position (step S203). For example, the boarding / alighting position determination unit 132b determines the disembarkation position at the position XP11 at which the travel route RT30 is straight ahead of the home HP1 and the travel route 30 is turned to the left.

Further, the route determination unit 132c first identifies a candidate (candidate route) for a movement route from the position XP11 to the home HP1 in the area AR1 between the home HP1 and the disembarkation position XP11 (step S204). .. Then, the route determination unit 132c calculates a score for each item such as the presence / absence of street lights, traffic volume, number of stores, number of crimes, and number of accidents for each candidate route, thereby indicating a safety score indicating the safety of the candidate route. Is calculated (step S205). The route determination unit 132c can also calculate the safety score not for all items such as the presence / absence of street lights, traffic volume, number of stores, number of crimes, and number of accidents, but for a plurality of items in which each item is arbitrarily combined. ..

Then, the route determination unit 132c determines the movement route to be presented from the candidate routes based on the safety score calculated in step S205 (step S206). For example, the route determination unit 132c determines the travel route RT41 having the highest safety score as the travel route to be presented.

Then, the second presentation unit 132d presents to the user the disembarkation position determined by the boarding / alighting position determination unit 132b and the movement route determined by the route determination unit 132c (step S207). In the example of FIG. 2, the second presentation unit 132d presents the position XP11, which is the disembarkation position, and the movement route RT41 to the user U4. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the second presentation unit 132d includes information J3 indicating that the disembarkation position is the position XP11 and that the movement route RT41 is safe from the position XP11 to the home HP1. Page P2b is presented to user U4.

[8. Processing procedure (2)]
Hereinafter, the contents of the control processing executed and realized by each processing unit of the terminal device 10 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the display control process according to the embodiment. An example of the display control process by the terminal device 10 has been described with reference to FIG. Therefore, here, the example of FIG. 3 will be used as appropriate. The terminal device 10 executes the display control process by the display control program according to the embodiment.

First, the detection unit 14a detects the shooting direction and orientation of the terminal device 10 which is its own device (step S301).

The display control unit 14c determines whether or not the angle, which is the inclination detected by the detection unit 14a, satisfies the predetermined condition information (step S302). For example, the display control unit 14c determines whether or not the inclination detected by the detection unit 14a is an angle of 30 degrees or less. When the display control unit 14c determines that the angle is not 30 degrees or less (step S302; No), the display control unit 14c hides the image of the shooting direction PD1 previously displayed on the display screen D (step S303a) and detects it. It waits until the angle detected by the unit 14a becomes 30 degrees or less. On the other hand, when the display control unit 14c determines that the tilt detected by the detection unit 14a is an angle of 30 degrees or less (step S303b), the display control unit 14c is placed in the upper half region RE1 of the display screen D in the shooting direction PD1. The image VG1 which is a 3D virtual reality image corresponding to the image is displayed, and the image RG1 which is a real image corresponding to the shooting direction PD1 and the angle 30 is displayed in the area RE2 in the lower half of the display screen D.

[9. Modification example]
The information processing apparatus 100 according to the above embodiment may be implemented in various different forms other than the above embodiment. Therefore, in the following, another embodiment of the information processing apparatus 100 will be described.

[9-1. Show the number of people]
In the above embodiment, the information processing apparatus 100 has shown an example of presenting information indicating the presence or absence of another user who is scheduled to board the moving object from the virtual boarding point as information about the other user. In the example of FIG. 1, the first presentation unit 131e presents to the user U3 that there is a user who is scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018" in addition to the user U3. An example is shown. However, the first presentation unit 131e may also present information indicating the number of other users who are scheduled to board the moving object from the virtual boarding point as information regarding other users.

In the example of FIG. 1, in addition to the user U3, there are users U1 and U2 as users scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at “10:05 on July 1, 2018”. Therefore, in such a case, the first presentation unit 131e presents to the user U3 that there are "two" users who are scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018".

The candidate position CP1 does not have a physical target indicating a bus stop, but if there are two people other than the user U3 in the vicinity, the user U3 is not a suspicious person or the like and has the same purpose. You can be relieved that you can predict that you are a person (a person who wants to get on the bus B1). Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment can give the user a sense of security in terms of crime prevention.

[9-2. Present if there is a person concerned]
Further, the first presenting unit 131e presents to this user information about another user who has a predetermined relationship with the user among the other users as information about the other user. For example, the first presenting unit 131e presents to the user information about another user who has a blood relationship with the user among the other users as information about the other user.

For the sake of simplicity, in the example of FIG. 1, for example, user U3 is a "child" and user U1 is a "mother". That is, it is assumed that the users U3 and U1 have a parent-child relationship. In such a case, the first presentation unit 131e not only presents the presence / absence of other users and the number of other users as described above, but also informs the user U3 that "the mother is also planning to board the bus at the same time." It is shown that other users (mothers) who have a parent-child relationship are also planning to board the bus. Further, in this case, the first presentation unit 131e indicates to the user U1 that another user (child) having a parent-child relationship is also scheduled to board, such as "My son is also planning to board the bus at the same time". To present.

From this, for example, the user U3 can know that the mother also plans to get on the bus from the same place. If you get on the bus B1 from the same place as your relatives, you can get a sense of security just by doing so. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment can give the user a sense of security in terms of crime prevention.

In the same way, the first presenting unit 131e presents to the user information about another user who has a friendship with the user among the other users as information about the other user. Here, the friendship may be a real friendship or a friendship on the Internet. The friendship on the Internet is, for example, a friendship on a predetermined SNS (Social Networking Service).

For the sake of simplicity, in the example of FIG. 1, for example, it is assumed that the user U3 and the user U1 are friends on the SNS. In such a case, the first presentation unit 131e not only presents the presence / absence of other users and the number of other users as described above, but also tells the user U3 that "SNS friends are also scheduled to ride". As such, other users who have an SNS friendship relationship also present that they are planning to board. Further, in this case, the first presentation unit 131e also presents the user U1 as "a friend of the SNS is also scheduled to board".

This allows, for example, the user U3 to know that a friend is also planning to take the bus from the same location. If a friend gets on the bus B1 from the same place, that alone can give a sense of security. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment can give the user a sense of security in terms of crime prevention.

[9-3. Output form]
In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the first presentation unit 131e presents information by displaying the text on the user's terminal device 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the first presentation unit 131e displays a page P1b including information J1 (text) indicating that there is a user scheduled to board other than the user U3. However, the first presentation unit 131e may output the information by voice. In other words, the first presentation unit 131e may present information in a hearable format. In the example of FIG. 1B, the first presentation unit 131e causes the terminal device 30 of the user U3 to output an automatic voice corresponding to a text such as "There is a person who is scheduled to board other than you".

Further, the first presentation unit 131e may output voice to indicate that there is no other user scheduled to board the vehicle only when there is no other user scheduled to board the vehicle. For example, it is assumed that the only user who is scheduled to board the bus B1 from the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018" is the user U3. In such a case, the first presentation unit 131e outputs "No one rides other than you" by voice.

[9-4. About reserved seats]
In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c acquires vacant seat information indicating the number of vacant seats possessed by the moving body. In the example of FIG. 1, the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c shows an example of acquiring vacant seat information indicating the current vacant seat status in the bus B1 scheduled to arrive at the candidate position CP1 at “10:05 on July 1, 2018”. rice field. However, the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c may acquire vacant seat information indicating the number of vacant seats excluding reserved seats among the vacant seats of the moving body.

For example, among the vacant seats on the bus B1 scheduled to arrive at the candidate position CP1 at "10:05 on July 1, 2018", some vacant seats may be reserved seats. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the user U2 has reserved one of the seats of the bus B1. For example, it is assumed that the current number of vacant seats is "2" and one of them is reserved by the user U2. In such a case, the vacant seat information acquisition unit 131c acquires the number of vacant seats "1" as vacant seat information.

In this case, if the boarding order earlier than the user U2 is assigned to the user U1 or U3, it is conceivable that either the user U1 or the U3 sits in the reserved seat of the user U2. Therefore, when a reserved seat exists, the boarding order determination unit 131d determines the boarding order so that the user who has reserved the reserved seat can surely sit there. For example, if a reserved user can be given priority to get on the bus earlier, it is possible to prevent a user who does not make a reservation from taking a reserved seat. Therefore, in the above example, the boarding order determination unit 131d determines the earliest boarding order "1" for the user U2, and for the users U1 and U3, for example, determines the boarding order in the order of the earliest intention display. do. For example, the boarding order determination unit 131d determines the boarding order "2" for the user U1 and determines the boarding order "3" for the user U3.

As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment can appropriately seat the user while avoiding a collision between the users even when there are reserved seats.

[9-5. About travel route determination]
In the above embodiment, the route determination unit 132c has shown an example of determining a travel route based on a safety score. In the example of FIG. 2, the route determination unit 132c calculates a safety score for each of the three candidate routes such as the travel route RT41, the travel route RT42, and the travel route RT43, and the candidate route is based on the calculated safety score. An example of determining the target movement route from among the above is shown. At this time, even if the route determination unit 132c determines the movement route based on the safety score calculated by performing a predetermined weighting on the items designated by the user among the items for which the safety is evaluated. good.

He also explained that there are items to evaluate safety, such as the presence or absence of street lights, traffic volume, the number of predetermined facilities, the number of crimes, and the number of accidents. Here, the route determination unit 132c can, for example, receive from the user the designation of an item that is particularly important from among these items. For example, the user U4 shown in FIG. 2 is a woman, and since she wants the item "presence / absence of a street light" to be given special importance, it is assumed that this item is specified. It should be noted that the user can also specify a plurality of items, or after designating a plurality of items, assign a ranking according to the degree of importance to the specified plurality of items, for example.

Return the description. The route determination unit 132c accepts the designation of the item "presence / absence of street light" from the user U4. This designation can be rephrased as the user U4 designating the item "presence / absence of streetlights" so that the travel route with streetlights is preferentially selected. Therefore, when the route determination unit 132c adds the score for each item of each candidate route in the “score information” of FIG. 2, in the case of “with street”, the route determination unit 132c further weights the predetermined score and determines the predetermined score. Multiply the weight value. Specifically, the route determination unit 132c adds "+1" in the case of having a street light, but adds "+5", for example, multiplied by "5" as a weight value to "+1".

As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment can preferentially determine the movement route focusing on the item specified by the user, and thus realizes the route determination process that reflects the intention of the user. be able to. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 can also increase the satisfaction of the user.

[9-6. About the help button]
Further, the display control unit 131g may display a help button that can call for help on the user's terminal device 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the second presentation unit 132d includes information J3 indicating that the disembarkation position is the position XP11 and that the movement route RT41 is safe from the position XP11 to the home HP1. The page P2b is displayed on the terminal device 10 of the user U4. At this time, the display control unit 131g includes a help button that can call for help on page P2b. For example, if the user U4 is entangled with a suspicious person while traveling on the travel route RT41, he / she can immediately contact the nearest police station by pressing this help button. The terminal device 10 may transmit the current position information of the user U4 to the police station in response to the pressing of the help button.

The display control unit 131g does not necessarily display and control a help button that connects to the police station, but contacts, for example, a designated destination designated by the user U4 (for example, a mobile phone of someone in the family). You may control the display of the help button that can be taken.

[9-7. Display control]
The point that the display control unit 14c interlocks with the display control unit 131g of the information processing apparatus 100 to display a virtual reality image has been described with reference to FIG. In the example of FIG. 3, when the display control unit 14c determines that the inclination detected by the detection unit 14a satisfies the condition information, the image is captured by the image pickup unit 13 and corresponds to the image in the shooting direction PD1. The image VG1 which is a virtual reality image is displayed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3C, the display control unit 14c causes the image VG1 to be displayed in the area RE1 in the upper half of the display screen D.

Further, when the image captured by the imaging unit 13 includes the candidate position CP1 in the image in the shooting direction PD1, the display control unit 14c cooperates with the display control unit 131g of the information processing device 100. Then, an image showing a virtual bus stop is displayed at the candidate position CP1. At this time, the first presentation unit 131e may cause the display control unit 14c to display the presence / absence of another user and the boarding order in the image VG1.

[10. Hardware configuration]
Further, the information processing device 100 and the terminal device 10 according to each of the above-described embodiments are realized by, for example, a computer 1000 having a configuration as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the information processing apparatus 100 will be described as an example. FIG. 14 is a hardware configuration diagram showing an example of a computer 1000 that realizes the functions of the information processing apparatus 100. The computer 1000 has a CPU 1100, a RAM 1200, a ROM 1300, an HDD 1400, a communication interface (I / F) 1500, an input / output interface (I / F) 1600, and a media interface (I / F) 1700.

The CPU 1100 operates based on a program stored in the ROM 1300 or the HDD 1400, and controls each part. The ROM 1300 stores a boot program executed by the CPU 1100 when the computer 1000 is started, a program depending on the hardware of the computer 1000, and the like.
