The terminal communication unit 21 is a communication interface between the terminal device 2 and the network 4. The terminal communication unit 21 transmits / receives information between the terminal device 2 and the server 3 via the network 4. The terminal communication unit 21 has an NFC (Near Field Communication) function that can acquire the boarding history of public transportation from the user's IC card and the entrance / exit information from the automatic ticket gate. It may have a short-range wireless communication function.

The terminal storage unit 23 is, for example, a data storage such as an internal memory or an external memory (SD memory card or the like). Various data handled by the terminal control unit 22 are stored in the terminal storage unit 23. The terminal storage unit 23 does not necessarily have to be provided in the terminal device 2, and may be provided in another device (for example, a server) communicably connected to the terminal device 2 via the network 4. good.

The terminal input unit 24 is an interface for a user to input information to the terminal device 2, and may be, for example, a touch panel, a microphone, a touch pad, or a dial button in a mobile terminal.

The terminal output unit 25 is an interface for outputting various information from the terminal device 2 to the user, and is a video display means such as a liquid crystal display. Specifically, for example, the terminal output unit 25 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for receiving an operation from the user. The terminal output unit 25 may be a speaker that outputs various information by voice.

Next, the terminal control unit 22 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal control unit 22 has a positioning unit 221.

The positioning unit 221 positions the current position of the terminal device 2. The positioning unit 221 positions the current position based on positioning information by radio navigation means such as GPS and beacon, for example. The positioning unit 221 may use positioning information by an autonomous navigation means such as an acceleration sensor or a geomagnetic sensor for positioning. It should be noted that these acceleration sensors and geomagnetic sensors may be used not only for positioning the current position but also for detecting the number of steps of the user.

In the present embodiment, since the terminal device 2 moves together with the user at least when moving in a car, the position information positioned by the positioning unit 221 is at least the position information of the user when moving in a car. It shows.

The terminal control unit 22 transmits the position information measured by the position positioning unit 221 to the server 3 through the terminal communication unit 21. The positioning information transmitted from the terminal device 2 is stored in the server 3. By storing a plurality of location information in the server 3, the movement history information of the user is formed.

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

Of these, the server communication unit 31 is a communication interface between the server 3 and the network 4. The server communication unit 31 transmits / receives information between the terminal device 2 and the server 3 via the network 4. The server communication unit 31 may receive the boarding history of the user's public transportation from another server such as a server of a railway company.

The server control unit 32 has a route acquisition unit 321 which is an example of a route acquisition means, a arrival determination unit 322 which is an example of a arrival determination means, and an incentive information generation unit 323 which is an example of an incentive information generation means. There is. Each of these parts may be realized by the processor in the server 3 executing a predetermined program. Each of these parts will be described later.

The server storage unit 33 is a fixed data storage such as a hard disk. Various data handled by the server control unit 32 are stored in the server storage unit 33. For example, the server storage unit 33 is generated by route network information, map information indicating a map corresponding to the route network information, movement history information indicating a movement history specified by a plurality of positioning information, and incentive information generation means. The incentive information provided is stored.

The route network information is information indicating the route network of the means of transportation. The route network includes a plurality of nodes and a link connecting the plurality of nodes. For example, the route network information indicates a road network for automobiles, a road network for walking, a road network for bicycles, and a transportation network for public transportation (for example, trains, buses, ships, and aircraft).

The incentive information is for encouraging the user who travels by car toward the destination to use the park and ride. For example, in order to recommend alleviation of congestion on the roads around the destination, park the car in the parking lot around the station or bus stop, and then use public transportation to move to the destination, which contributes to avoiding congestion. An incentive is given to the user who has done so. The specific aspects of the incentive are not particularly limited and may be of monetary value, such as miles, points, parking discounts and coupons. When the incentive is a point, for example, the point is a point dedicated to the company dedicated to the product or service provided by the owner of the information processing system (that is, the company), or a person other than the owner of the information processing system (that is, another company). It may be points for other companies applied to the provided products or services, points that can be returned to points for other companies, points for prizes, and the like.

The incentive information may be stored in the server storage unit 33 as information associated with information such as user identification information and information such as park-and-ride that is the reason for giving the incentive. The server 3 reduces the incentives used when the incentives stored in the server storage unit 33 are used for applicable services.

The server storage unit 33 does not necessarily have to be provided in the server 3, and may be provided in another device that is communicably connected to the server 3 via the network 4.
(Example of operation)

Next, an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B. FIG. 2A is a conceptual diagram for explaining an example of the operation of the information processing system 1. FIG. 2B is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1.

First, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the server control unit 32 searches for a park-and-ride route (step S11). Specifically, for example, the server control unit 32 acquires a route search condition such as a current position (departure place S) and a destination G transmitted from the terminal device 2 through the server communication unit 31. The server control unit 32 searches for a movement route including a park-and-ride route that satisfies the route search condition based on the route network information stored in the server storage unit 33. The server control unit 32 transmits the optimum route among the searched movement routes to the terminal device 2 through the server communication unit 31.

The terminal control unit 22 presents the optimum route transmitted from the server 3 to the user in the terminal output unit 25. When the park-and-ride route is selected by the user from the presented optimum routes, the terminal control unit 22 transmits the selected park-and-ride route to the server 3 through the terminal communication unit 21.

The route acquisition unit 321 acquires the park-and-ride route transmitted from the terminal device 2 through the server communication unit 31 (step S12). The route acquisition unit 321 identifies the parking lot K on the acquired park-and-ride route based on the map information stored in the server storage unit 33.

The server control unit 32 starts guidance (navigation) to the specified parking lot K based on the acquired park-and-ride route (step S13). Specifically, for example, the server control unit 32 transmits navigation information up to the parking lot K to the terminal device 2 through the server communication unit 31. The terminal control unit 22 presents the navigation information transmitted from the server 3 to the user in the terminal output unit 25.

Further, the terminal control unit 22 transmits the positioning information (that is, the user's position information) of the position positioning unit 221 to the server 3 through the terminal communication unit 21. The server control unit 32 acquires the position information transmitted from the terminal device 2 through the server communication unit 31 and stores it in the server storage unit 33. By storing a plurality of position information in the server storage unit 33, the movement history information of the user is formed.

The arrival determination unit 322 determines that the user has reached the parking lot K included in the park-and-ride route (step S14). More specifically, the arrival determination unit 322 determines that the user has reached the parking lot K based on the comparison between the position information of the parking lot K specified from the park-and-ride route and the position information of the user. The specific mode of the parking determination by the arrival determination unit 322 does not matter as long as it does not determine that the vehicle has just passed near the parking lot or waited for a signal near the parking lot. For example, the arrival determination unit 322 calculates a straight line distance between the position of the parking lot K specified from the park-and-ride route and the position of the user, and the calculated straight line distance is from a predetermined threshold value (for example, 10 m). When it becomes short, it is determined that the user has reached the parking lot K. Alternatively, the arrival determination unit 322 may determine that the user has parked in the parking lot K when the position of the user is included in the area of the parking lot K. The arrival determination unit 322 may determine that the user has entered the parking lot K by receiving information from a beacon or the like provided in the parking lot K. The arrival determination unit 322 acquires information that the user has turned off the engine from the vehicle side, and if it can be determined that the position of the vehicle is in the area of the parking lot K, the arrival determination unit 322 determines that the user has parked in the parking lot K. You may. When the user's transportation means is switched from the automobile to another transportation means, the arrival determination unit 322 may determine parking at the switched point as the parking lot K.

When it is determined that the user has reached the parking lot K (step S15: Yes), the incentive information generation unit 323 is a means of transportation other than the automobile from the parking lot K to the destination G, which is specified from the park-and-ride route. Calculate the moving distance according to (step S16). More specifically, for example, the incentive information generation unit 323 walks from the parking lot K to the boarding station based on the road network information for walking stored in the server storage unit 33 (first travel distance). Is calculated, and based on the transportation network information of the public transportation stored in the server storage unit 33, the travel distance (second travel distance) by the public transportation from the boarding station to the disembarking station is calculated, and the server storage unit Based on the road network information for walking stored in 33, the walking distance (third moving distance) from the getting-off station to the destination G is calculated. Then, the incentive information generation unit 323 adds up the first to third travel distances. In the example shown in FIG. 2B, the moving distance from the parking lot K to the destination G is calculated after the parking determination (step S15) by the arrival determination unit 322, but the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the travel distance from the parking lot K to the destination G may be calculated during the search for the park-and-ride route (step S11), or may be calculated while the user is traveling in the vehicle (steps S13 to S15). You may.

The incentive information generation unit 323 generates incentive information to be given to the user based on the calculated travel distance by a transportation means other than the automobile (the total distance of the first to third travel distances) (step S17). The timing for generating the incentive information may be (1) from the time when the arrival determination unit 322 determines the parking to the time when the user arrives at the destination G, or (2) the user arrives at the destination G. It may be until the user returns to the parking lot K later, or (3) after the user returns from the destination G to the parking lot K. When generating incentive information after arriving at the destination G (in the case of (2) or (3) above), the incentive information generation unit 323 is stationed based on the movement log (movement history information) actually moved by the user. The travel distance from the vehicle field K to the destination G may be calculated, and incentive information may be generated based on the travel distance. The incentive information generation means 323 refers to the user's movement history information, and when the user moves from the parking lot K to the destination G by a transportation means other than the automobile, the incentive information generation means 323 moves from the parking lot K to the destination G by the automobile. It is desirable to generate incentive information so that more incentives are given than in the case. Further, the incentive information generation unit 323 may generate incentive information for the outward route corresponding to the travel distance from the parking lot K to the destination G, or may generate incentive information for the outward route, which is twice the travel distance from the parking lot K to the destination G. Incentive information for round trips corresponding to the distance of may be generated. The incentive information generation unit 323 stores the generated incentive information in the server storage unit 33.

On the other hand, when it is not determined that the user has reached the parking lot K (step S15: No), the incentive information generation unit 323 ends the process without generating the incentive information.

By the way, as mentioned in the section of the problem to be solved by the invention, in the conventional service of giving points to the user according to the distance traveled by the car, the public transportation from the parking lot K to the destination G is used. Since no incentive is taken into consideration for the travel used, the points that can be received when using park-and-ride are less than when traveling from the departure point S to the destination G by car. Therefore, it does not lead to encouraging users to use park-and-ride.

On the other hand, according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, incentive information to be given to the user is generated when the user reaches the parking lot K specified from the park-and-ride route. Since this incentive information is generated separately from the incentive given to the movement by car from the departure place S to the parking lot K, public transportation is used from the parking lot K to the destination G. It can be regarded as an incentive given to moving. That is, the user who uses the park and ride can receive an incentive to move from the parking lot K to the destination G by using public transportation. Therefore, it is possible to encourage users to use park-and-ride, and by increasing the number of park-and-ride rides, it is possible to contribute to the alleviation of traffic congestion.

(First modification)
The first modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first modification. The steps (steps S11 to S15) until the arrival determination unit 322 determines that the parking lot has been reached are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the first modification, when it is determined that the user has reached the parking lot (step S15: Yes), the incentive information generation unit 323 moves from the parking lot to the destination by car. The mileage in the case of the above is calculated (step S161). More specifically, for example, the incentive information generation unit 323 calculates the mileage of the vehicle from the parking lot to the destination based on the road network information for the vehicle stored in the server storage unit 33. Then, the incentive information generation unit 323 generates incentive information to be given to the user based on the calculated mileage (step S171). The incentive information generation unit 323 stores the generated incentive information in the server storage unit 33.

By the way, for example, in a program (app) for smartphones, a navigation program for traveling by car (so-called car navigation) and a navigation program for traveling using public transportation (so-called transfer guidance) are mutually exclusive. May exist independently. In this case, in the above-described embodiment, points are generated by car navigation for the movement from the destination to the parking lot, and points are generated by the transfer guidance for the movement from the parking lot to the destination. , It is not possible to manage the generated points collectively.

On the other hand, according to the first modification, points are generated by car navigation even when moving from the parking lot to the destination, so that it is convenient to manage the generated points collectively. be.

(Second modification)
The second modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second modification. The steps (steps S11 to S15) until the arrival determination unit 322 determines that the parking lot has been reached are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the second modification, when it is determined that the user has reached the parking lot (step S15: Yes), the incentive information generation unit 323 has a predetermined amount of incentive information (step S15: Yes). For example, 50 points) is generated (step S162). The incentive information generation unit 323 stores the generated incentive information in the server storage unit 33.

According to the second modification, as in the first modification, points can be generated by car navigation for the movement from the parking lot to the destination, so the generated points are collectively managed. It is convenient to be able to do it.

(Third modification example)
A third modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the third modification. The steps (steps S11 to S15) until the arrival determination unit 322 determines that the parking lot has been reached are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the third modification, when it is determined that the user has reached the parking lot (step S15: Yes), the incentive information generation unit 323 has moved from the starting point to the destination by car. The mileage of the case is calculated (step S163). More specifically, for example, the incentive information generation unit 323 calculates the mileage of the vehicle from the departure point to the destination based on the road network information for the vehicle stored in the server storage unit 33. Then, the incentive information generation unit 323 generates incentive information to be given to the user based on the calculated mileage (step S173). The incentive information generation unit 323 stores the generated incentive information in the server storage unit 33.

According to the third modification, the user who uses the park-and-ride is given the same incentive as when traveling from the starting point to the destination by car. This reduces the incentives that users who are undecided about whether to drive from their origin to their destination or use park-and-ride will receive park-and-ride as a reason to refrain from using park-and-ride. The reasoning does not hold. Therefore, it is possible to encourage the user to use park-and-ride.

(Fourth modification)
A fourth modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the fourth modification.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the fourth modification, the server control unit 32 acquires the full / empty information of the destination or the parking lot near the destination while the user is driving in the car (step S104). ). When there is no vacancy in the destination or the parking lot near the destination, the server control unit 32 searches for a park-and-ride route from the current position to the destination based on the route network information stored in the server storage unit 33. do. The server control unit 32 transmits the searched park-and-ride route to the terminal device 2 through the server communication unit 31.

The terminal control unit 22 presents the park-and-ride route transmitted from the server 3 to the user in the terminal output unit 25. When the presented park-and-ride route is selected (adopted) by the user, the terminal control unit 22 transmits the selected park-and-ride route to the server 3 through the terminal communication unit 21.

The steps from the step of acquiring the park-and-ride route by the route acquisition unit 321 (step S11) to the step of determining that the arrival determination unit 322 has reached the parking lot (step S15) are the same as those in the above-described embodiment. The explanation is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the fourth modification, when it is determined that the user has reached the parking lot (step S15: Yes), the incentive information generation unit 323 is the destination or the parking lot near the destination. Incentive information is generated in consideration of the fullness information (step S164). For example, when there is no vacancy in the destination or the parking lot near the destination, the incentive information generation unit 323 generates incentive information larger (extra) than the normal incentive information. Here, the usual incentive information is (1) by means of transportation (public transportation or walking) other than the automobile from the parking lot to the destination, as in steps S16 and S17 of the above-described embodiment (see FIG. 2B). It may be calculated based on the travel distance, or (2) is based on the travel distance when the vehicle travels from the parking lot to the destination as in steps S161 and S171 of the first modification (see FIG. 3). (3) Similar to step S162 of the second modification (see FIG. 4), it may be generated with a predetermined size. The incentive information generation unit 323 stores the generated incentive information in the server storage unit 33.

According to the fourth modification, the incentive information is generated in consideration of the fullness information of the destination or the parking lot near the destination, so that when there is no vacancy in the parking lot near the destination or the destination. The use of park and ride can be effectively promoted. As a result, it is possible to reduce the number of queues waiting for the parking lot at or near the destination, and it is possible to contribute to alleviating congestion on the roads around the destination.

(Fifth variant)
A fifth modification will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the fifth modification.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the fifth modification, the server control unit 32 acquires the traffic condition on the route to the destination while the user is traveling in the automobile (step S105). For example, the traffic condition information is information indicating a traffic condition obtained from at least one of VICS (Vehicle Information and Communication System) information, probe information, and information provided by public transportation. For example, if the road to the destination is congested, or if it is predicted that the road around the destination will be congested during the time when the road returns from the destination due to an event (fireworks display, etc.), the server control unit 32 may use the server control unit 32. , The park-and-ride route from the current position to the destination is searched based on the route network information stored in the server storage unit 33. The server control unit 32 transmits the searched park-and-ride route to the terminal device 2 through the server communication unit 31.

The terminal control unit 22 presents the park-and-ride route transmitted from the server 3 to the user in the terminal output unit 25. When the presented park-and-ride route is selected (adopted) by the user, the terminal control unit 22 transmits the selected park-and-ride route to the server 3 through the terminal communication unit 21.

The steps from the step of acquiring the park-and-ride route by the route acquisition unit 321 (step S11) to the step of determining that the arrival determination unit 322 has reached the parking lot (step S15) are the same as those in the above-described embodiment. The explanation is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the fifth modification, when it is determined that the user has reached the parking lot (step S15: Yes), the incentive information generation unit 323 determines the traffic condition on the route to the destination. In consideration, incentive information is generated (step S165). For example, if the road to the destination is congested, or if the road around the destination is expected to be congested during the time when the road returns from the destination due to an event (fireworks display, etc.), the incentive information generation unit 323 may use the incentive information generation unit 323. Generate incentive information that is larger (extra) than normal incentive information. Here, the normal incentive information is calculated based on (1) the distance traveled from the parking lot to the destination by means of transportation other than automobiles (public transportation or walking), as in steps S16 and S17 of FIG. 2B. It may be calculated based on (2) the mileage when the vehicle travels from the parking lot to the destination by car, as in steps S161 and S171 of FIG. 3, and (3) step of FIG. Similar to S162, it may be generated in a predetermined size. The incentive information generation unit 323 stores the generated incentive information in the server storage unit 33.

According to the fifth modification, incentive information is generated in consideration of the traffic conditions on the route to the destination, so that it is effective to use park-and-ride when the road to the destination is congested. Can be encouraged. This can contribute to alleviating congestion on the roads around the destination.

(Second embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, an example in which the route acquisition means 331 acquires a park-and-ride route based on the user's route search result has been described. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the route acquisition means 331 acquires the park-and-ride route based on the movement history of the user.

The second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment.

First, as shown in FIG. 8, the route acquisition unit 321 acquires the user's movement history information based on the positioning information (that is, the user's position information) of the position positioning unit 221 transmitted from the terminal device 2 (step). S21). More specifically, for example, the route acquisition unit 321 acquires the positioning information of the position positioning unit 221 transmitted from the terminal device 2 through the server communication unit 31 and stores it in the server storage unit 33. By storing a plurality of positioning information in the server storage unit 33, the movement history information of the user is formed.

Next, the arrival determination unit 322 determines that the user has reached the parking lot based on the comparison between the user's movement history information (collection of the user's location information) and the location information of the parking lot (step). S22). The specific mode of the parking determination by the arrival determination unit 322 does not matter as long as it does not determine that the vehicle has just passed near the parking lot or waited for a signal near the parking lot. For example, the arrival determination unit 322 calculates the linear distance between the position of the parking lot and the position of the user based on the route network information stored in the server storage unit 33, and the calculated linear distance is predetermined. When it becomes shorter than the threshold value (for example, 10 m), it is determined that the user has reached the parking lot. Alternatively, the arrival determination unit 322 may determine that the user has parked in the parking lot when the user's position is included in the parking lot area. The arrival determination unit 322 may determine that the user has entered the parking lot when a record that information has been received from a beacon or the like provided in the parking lot is left. The arrival determination unit 322 parked the user in the parking lot when the information that the user turned off the engine is recorded and it can be determined that the position of the vehicle when the engine is turned off is the area of the parking lot. You may determine that. When the user's moving means is switched from the automobile to another moving means, the arrival determination unit 322 may make a parking determination using the switched point as a parking lot.

When it is determined that the user has reached the parking lot (step S23: Yes), the arrival determination unit 322 determines that public transportation has been used after reaching the parking lot based on the user's movement history information. (Step S24). For example, the arrival determination unit 322 used public transportation by acquiring information from the railway company's server that the user entered the parking lot from the automatic ticket gates of the stations around the parking lot after reaching the parking lot. Judge that.

When it is determined that public transportation has been used after reaching the parking lot (step S25: Yes), the incentive information generation unit 323 uses the user's movement history information acquired by the route acquisition unit 321 as a park-and-ride route. (Step S26).

Next, the incentive information generation unit 323 generates incentive information (step S27). Here, the incentive information may be calculated based on (1) the distance traveled from the parking lot to the destination by means of transportation other than automobiles (public transportation or walking), as in steps S16 and S17 of FIG. 2B. Alternatively, (2) may be calculated based on the mileage when the vehicle travels from the parking lot to the destination by car, as in steps S161 and S171 in FIG. 3, and (3) in step S162 in FIG. Similarly, it may be generated in a predetermined size. The incentive information generation unit 323 stores the generated incentive information in the server storage unit 33.

On the other hand, when it is not determined that the user has reached the parking lot (step S23: Yes), or when it is determined that the public transportation has not been used (step S25: No), the incentive information generation unit 323 determines. End the process without generating incentive information.

According to the second embodiment as described above, as in the first embodiment, incentive information to be given to the user when the user arrives at the parking lot specified from the park-and-ride route is generated. .. Since this incentive information is generated separately from the incentive given to the movement by car from the departure place to the parking lot, it is necessary to move from the parking lot to the destination by public transportation. Can be regarded as an incentive given to. That is, the user who uses the park and ride can receive an incentive to move from the parking lot to the destination by public transportation. Therefore, it is possible to encourage users to use park-and-ride, and by increasing the number of park-and-ride rides, it is possible to contribute to the alleviation of traffic congestion.
