As described above, when the operation request action by the shared fare calculation system 10 is triggered by the user terminal 200A, the operation request signal 552 is transmitted from the user terminal 200A to the calculation server 110. Here, the operations of steps S501 and S502 may be executed by the user terminal 200B.

When the operation request signal 552 transmitted from the user terminal 200A is received by the calculation server 110, the operation request application signal 554 is transmitted from the calculation server 110 to the arrangement server 120 (step S531). Here, the operation request application signal 554 transmitted from the calculation server 110 to the arrangement server 120 in step S531 is transmitted to the arrangement server 120 after a predetermined period (delay period) has elapsed after the operation request is confirmed in step S502. May be good. Further, during the above delay period, the calculation server 110 may provide the user terminal 200A with an interface 660 for accepting the cancellation of the operation request, for example, as shown in FIG.

When the arrangement server 120 receives the operation request application signal 554, the pick-up instruction signal 556 is transmitted to the vehicle 300 managed by the arrangement center (step S541). Here, in step S541, the arrangement server 120 obtains the position information of the vehicle 300 managed by the arrangement center via the second network 102 of the arrangement center and the actual vehicle status of the vehicle 300 (empty vehicle, forwarding, pick-up, renting, etc.). Get the information you include. Then, based on this information, the arrangement server 120 designates the vehicle 300 and transmits the pick-up instruction signal 556. If the vehicle 300 that has received the pick-up instruction signal 556 is in an actual vehicle condition that can actually pick up the vehicle, the acceptance signal 558 is returned from the vehicle 300 to the arrangement server 120 (step S521).

When the acceptance signal 558 returned from the vehicle 300 is received by the arrangement server 120, the acceptance notification 560 is transmitted from the arrangement server 120 to the calculation server 110 (step S542). When the calculation server 110 receives the acceptance notification 560, the calculation server 110 sends an arrangement status notification 562 to the user terminal 200A (step S522). The arrangement status notification 562 includes information on the vehicle being picked up (vehicle type, vehicle number, driver information, actual vehicle status, etc.) and information such as the current position of the vehicle 300. Further, the arrangement status notification 562 may further include an estimated time of arrival at the position of the user terminal 200A boarding the vehicle 300, an estimated time of arrival at the position of the destination 400, traffic jam information, and the like.

The calculation server 110 may provide the user terminal 200A that has received the arrangement status notification 562 transmitted in step S522 with an interface 670 that accepts an inquiry to the vehicle 300 being picked up, as shown in FIG. 17, for example. .. When the user wishes to make an inquiry to the vehicle 300 being picked up, he / she can make a call with the driver of the vehicle 300 using the interface 670 shown in FIG. Then, when the vehicle 300 being picked up arrives at the position of the user terminal 200A, as shown in FIG. 18, an interface 680 for notifying that the vehicle 300 has arrived may be provided.

Here, in the interface 680 of FIG. 18, when the user scheduled to board the vehicle cannot find the vehicle 300 (taxi), the inquiry button 681 for connecting the user terminal 200A and the mobile phone of the driver of the vehicle 300 so as to be able to make a call is arranged. It may have been done. By pressing the inquiry button 681, the user terminal 200A can automatically make a call to the mobile phone of the driver of the vehicle 300. Alternatively, by pressing the inquiry button 681, the user terminal 200A may be automatically called from the mobile phone of the driver of the vehicle 300. Further, the interface 680 may include an estimated time of arrival at the destination 400, a confirmation number 683 indicating that the user terminal 200 is a terminal requested to operate, and a crew evaluation 684.

As described above, the user terminal 200A gets on the vehicle 300 (step S503). In step S503, when the user terminal 200A gets on the vehicle 300, the first boarding position information 564 indicating the boarding position of the user terminal 200A on the vehicle 300 is generated and transmitted to the calculation server 110 (step S504). Here, the first boarding position information 564 may be generated by the user terminal 200A based on the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200A and the vehicle 300, or may be generated by the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200A and the vehicle 300. Based on this, it may be generated by the calculation server 110. When the first boarding position information 564 generated in step S504 is received by the calculation server 110, the calculation server 110 acquires the first boarding position information 564 (step S532). Here, the first boarding position information 564 includes user identification information that identifies the user terminal 200A and the user terminal 200B. Here, as the user identification information, the user ID possessed by the user terminal 200A is included in the first boarding position information 564.

The vehicle 300 on which the user terminal 200A is boarded moves to the boarding position of the user terminal 200B, and the user terminal 200B is boarded (step S511). In step S511, when the user terminal 200B gets on the vehicle 300, the second boarding position information 566 indicating the boarding position of the user terminal 200B on the vehicle 300 is generated and transmitted to the calculation server 110 (step S512). Here, the second boarding position information 566 is based on the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200B and the vehicle 300 or the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200B and the user terminal 200A on the vehicle 300. May be generated by. Alternatively, the second boarding position information 566 is obtained by the calculation server 110 based on the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200B and the vehicle 300 or the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200B and the user terminal 200A boarding the vehicle 300. It may be generated. When the second boarding position information 566 generated in step S512 is received by the calculation server 110, the calculation server 110 acquires the second boarding position information 566 (step S533). Here, the second boarding position information 566 includes user identification information that identifies the user terminal 200A and the user terminal 200B. Here, as the user identification information, the user ID possessed by the user terminal 200B is included in the second boarding position information 566.

When the user terminals 200A and 200B and the vehicle 300 arrive at the destination (step S505), the user terminals 200A and 200B get off from the vehicle 300 (steps S506 and S513). In step S506, when the user terminal 200A disembarks from the vehicle 300, the first disembarkation position information 568 indicating the disembarkation position of the user terminal 200A from the vehicle 300 is generated and transmitted to the calculation server 110 (step S507). Further, in step S513, when the user terminal 200B gets off the vehicle 300, the second disembarkation position information 570 indicating the disembarkation position of the user terminal 200B from the vehicle 300 is generated and transmitted to the calculation server 110 (step S514).

Here, the first disembarkation position information 568 may be generated by the user terminal 200A based on the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200A and the vehicle 300, or may be generated by the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200A and the vehicle 300. Based on this, it may be generated by the calculation server 110. Further, the second disembarkation position information 570 may be generated by the user terminal 200B based on the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200B and the vehicle 300, or based on the relative positional relationship between the user terminal 200B and the vehicle 300. It may be generated by the calculation server 110.

The first disembarkation position information 568 and the second disembarkation position information 570 transmitted from the user terminals 200A and 200B are received (acquired) by the calculation server 110 (step S534). Here, the first disembarkation position information 568 and the second disembarkation position information 570 include user identification information for identifying the user terminal 200A and the user terminal 200B. Here, as the user identification information, the user ID of the user terminal 200A is included in the first disembarkation position information 568, and the user ID of the user terminal 200B is included in the second disembarkation position information 570.

Further, when the vehicle 300 arrives at the destination in step S505, the vehicle 300 generates operation information 572 including the operation identification information and the operation charge, and reports it to the arrangement server 120 (step S523).

When the operation information 572 reported from the vehicle 300 is received by the arrangement server 120, the arrangement server 120 notifies the calculation server 110 of the operation information 574 including the operation identification information and the operation charge (step S543).

When the operation information 574 notified from the arrangement server 120 is received by the calculation server 110, the calculation server 110 acquires the operation identification information and the operation charge included in the operation information 574 (step S535). Next, based on the operation identification information and the operation charge acquired in step S535, the burden ratio and the burden amount to be borne by each of the user terminal A and the user terminal B are calculated (step S536). Then, the calculation result 576 (one or both of the calculated burden ratio and the burden amount) in step S536 is notified to the user terminals 200A and 200B (step S537).

When the calculation result 576 notified from the calculation server 110 is received by the user terminals 200A and 200B, confirmation of confirmation for the calculation result 576 is performed in each of the user terminals 200A and 200B (steps S508 and S515). When the selection for confirming the calculation result (“Yes” in steps S508 and S515) is made in steps S508 and S515, the confirmation information 578 is transmitted from the user terminals 200A and 200B to the calculation server 110. On the other hand, when the selection to reject the calculation result (“No” in steps S508 and S515) is made, the operation flow is terminated, the program is terminated, or the screen is moved to the top screen.

When the confirmation information 578 transmitted from the user terminals 200A and 200B is received by the calculation server 110, the calculation server 110 makes a billing 580 to the user terminals 200A and 200B (step S538). Then, the user terminals 200A and 200B execute payment for the billing in step S538 (steps S509 and S516).

Here, when the selection to reject the calculation result is made in steps S508 and S515, the calculation server 110 may charge the user terminal 200A requesting the operation in full for the operation fee.

As described above, the shared section is calculated without increasing the burden on the user terminals 200A and 200B and the vehicle 300, and the burden ratio of the usage fee according to the riding distance of the user terminals 200A and 200B using the shared is calculated. be able to.

[Calculation method of ratio calculation unit]
The calculation method of the ratio calculation unit 176 of the calculation server 110 shown in FIG. 6 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The ratio calculation unit 176 in the shared charge calculation system 10 according to the first embodiment first mounts the user terminal 200A, which is relatively far from the destination 400, among the user terminals 200A and 200B, and then mounts the user terminal 200B together. An example of calculating the burden ratio of the user terminals 200A and 200B from the boarding ratios of the user terminals 200A and 200B in the route reaching the ground 400 will be described.

In steps S532 to S534 in the operation flow of the shared fare calculation system 10 shown in FIG. 9, the ratio calculation unit 176 obtains the first boarding position information, the second boarding position information, the first disembarking position information, and the second disembarking position information. get. Then, based on the above-mentioned position information acquired, the distance Da between the boarding position of the user terminal 200A and the boarding position of the user terminal 200B and the distance Db between the boarding position of the user terminal 200B and the destination 400 are calculated. Here, the first travel distance of the first stroke in which the user terminal 200A gets on the vehicle 300 is Da + Db, and the second travel distance in the second stroke in which the user terminal 200B gets on the vehicle 300 together with the user terminal A is Db.

In the example of FIG. 19, the ratio calculation unit 176 calculates the ratio of the second travel distance (Db) to the first travel distance (Da + Db) as the boarding ratio. Here, a method of calculating the boarding ratio based on the travel distance in the first stroke and the second stroke is illustrated, but the method is not limited to this method. For example, the boarding ratio may be calculated based on the second travel time required for the movement of the second stroke with respect to the first travel time required for the travel of the first stroke. In other words, the ratio calculation unit 176 allows each of the plurality of users to operate the vehicle 300 based on the actual travel distance using each vehicle 300 of the plurality of users or the actual travel time required for the travel distance. Calculate the burden ratio to be borne.

Here, the distances Da and Db are the distances on the road map. For example, the distance Da is the distance of the route on the road map from the boarding position of the user terminal 200A to the boarding position of the user terminal 200B. The distance on the road map is not the straight line distance between the two points, but the distance when the vehicle moves based on the road map. However, the distances Da and Db are not limited to the distances on the road map, and may be straight-line distances connecting the respective position information.

Further, in FIG. 19, the ratio calculation unit 176 illustrates a case where the user terminals 200A and 200B get on the vehicle 300 at different positions and calculate the burden ratio for the route of getting off from the vehicle 300 at the same destination 400. However, it is not limited to this case. For example, the ratio calculation unit 176 may calculate the burden ratio for a route in which the user terminals 200A and 200B get on the vehicle 300 at the same position and get off the vehicle 300 at different destinations. Alternatively, the ratio calculation unit 176 may calculate the burden ratio for the route in which the user terminals 200A and 200B get on the vehicle 300 at different positions and get off the vehicle 300 at different destinations. For example, the user terminal 200B may ride on the vehicle 300 on which the user terminal 200A has boarded, and the burden ratio may be calculated for the route where the user terminal 200A gets off the vehicle 300 first.

[How to get the user's boarding position information and getting off position information]

That is, when the distance between the user terminal 200B and the vehicle 300 becomes a short distance of the first distance D1 or less, the user terminal 200B receives an information signal peculiar to the short-range wireless communication unit 320 from the short-range wireless communication unit 320. When the user terminal 200B receives the information signal peculiar to the short-range wireless communication unit 320, the user terminal 200B transmits to the calculation server 110 that the peculiar information signal has been received. Then, the position information specifying unit 172 of the calculation server 110 determines that the user terminal 200B has boarded the vehicle 300 or that the user terminal 200B has disembarked from the vehicle 300 based on the unique information signal. do.

As described above, the position information specifying unit 172 acquires the second boarding position information indicating the boarding position of the user terminal 200B on the vehicle 300 by acquiring the position information when the user terminal 200B gets on the vehicle 300. do. In the example of FIG. 20, since the user terminal 200B gets on the vehicle 300 on which the user terminal 200A is on board, the second boarding position information corresponds to the start position of the ride of the user terminals 200A and 200B.

As described above, according to the shared fare calculation system 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the shared section is calculated without increasing the burden on the user and the driver of the vehicle, and the riding distance of the user using the shared is calculated. It is possible to provide a calculation server that calculates the burden ratio of the usage fee and a communication terminal that communicates with the calculation server.

<Modification 1 of Embodiment 1>
A modified example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 21. FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of a method for determining whether a user gets on or off in a shared fare calculation system according to a modified example of the embodiment of the present invention. The shared charge calculation system 11 according to the first modification of the first embodiment has a short-range wireless communication unit 215 that generates a signal when the distance between the user terminal 200B and the vehicle 300 is equal to or less than the first distance D1. In that respect, it differs from the shared charge calculation system 10.

When the distance between the user terminal 200B and the vehicle 300 becomes the first distance D1 or less, the short-range wireless communication unit 215 transmits an information signal peculiar to the short-range wireless communication unit 215 to the vehicle 300. That is, when the distance between the user terminal 200B and the vehicle 300 becomes a short distance of the first distance D1 or less, the vehicle 300 receives an information signal peculiar to the short-range wireless communication unit 215 from the short-range wireless communication unit 215. When the vehicle 300 receives the information signal peculiar to the short-range wireless communication unit 215, it transmits the reception of the peculiar information signal to the arrangement server 120. Then, the unique information signal is transmitted from the arrangement server 120 to the calculation server 110, so that the position information specifying unit 172 of the calculation server 110 gets on the user terminal 200A based on the unique information signal. The second boarding position information indicating the boarding position of the user terminal 200B to the 300 is acquired. Similar to FIG. 20, in the example of FIG. 21, since the user terminal 200B gets on the vehicle 300 on which the user terminal 200A is on board, the second boarding position information corresponds to the start position of the ride of the user terminals 200A and 200B. ..

<Modification 2 of Embodiment 1>

<Modification 3 of Embodiment 1>
A modification of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 to 27. FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an outline of a calculation method of a calculation server used in a shared charge calculation system according to a modified example of the embodiment of the present invention.

[Calculation method of ratio calculation unit]
As shown in FIG. 25, the ratio calculation unit 176 includes the first estimated distance Ea from the first boarding position 410 of the user terminal 200A (first user) who boarded earlier to the destination 400, and the user after the user terminal 200A. The burden ratio is calculated based on the second estimated distance Eb from the second boarding position 420 of the user terminal 200B (second user) on board the terminal 200A to the destination 400. That is, the first estimated distance Ea is the distance when it is assumed that the user terminal 200A has moved from the first boarding position 410 to the destination 400 without riding, and the second estimated distance Eb is the distance where the user terminal 200B rides. It corresponds to the distance when it is assumed that the user has moved from the second boarding position 420 to the destination 400 without doing so. In other words, the ratio calculation unit 176 calculates each burden ratio based on the distance when each of the plurality of user terminals 200A and 200B independently uses the vehicle 300 from the boarding position to the disembarking position. Here, the first estimated distance Ea and the second estimated distance Eb are distances on the road map. However, the first estimated distance Ea and the second estimated distance Eb are not limited to the distances on the road map, and may be linear distances connecting the respective position information.

[How to get the user's boarding position information and getting off position information]
Next, a method of acquiring the first boarding position information at the first boarding position 410 and the second boarding position information at the second boarding position 420 will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27. Here, a case where the vehicle 300 has the short-range wireless communication unit 320 will be described. 26 and 27 are diagrams showing an example of a method for determining whether a user is getting on or off in a shared fare calculation system according to a modified example of the embodiment of the present invention.

When the user terminal 200A receives the unique information signal, the user terminal 200A transmits to the calculation server 110 that the unique information signal has been received. Then, the calculation server 110 determines that the user terminal 200A has boarded the vehicle 300 based on the unique information signal. Then, the position information specifying unit 172 acquires the first boarding position information indicating the boarding position of the user terminal 200A on the vehicle 300.

Next, as shown in FIG. 27, when the distance between the user terminal 200B and the vehicle 300 becomes a predetermined distance or less, the user terminal 200B transmits an information signal unique to the short-range wireless communication unit 320 from the short-range wireless communication unit 320. Receive. When the user terminal 200B receives the unique information signal, the user terminal 200B transmits to the calculation server 110 that the unique information signal has been received. Then, the calculation server 110 determines that the user terminal 200B has boarded the vehicle 300 based on the unique information signal. Then, the position information specifying unit 172 acquires the second boarding position information indicating the boarding position of the user terminal 200B on the vehicle 300.

Then, the user terminals 200A and 200B and the vehicle 300 arrive at the destination 400, the user terminals 200A and 200B get off from the vehicle 300, and the user terminals 200A and 200B are from the short-range wireless communication unit 320 to the short-range wireless communication unit 320. When the unique information signal cannot be received, it is determined that the user terminals 200A and 200B have disembarked from the vehicle 300. Then, the position information specifying unit 172 acquires the first disembarkation position information and the second disembarkation position information indicating the disembarkation position from the vehicle 300 of the user terminals 200A and 200B.

When the shared use is used on the route shown in FIGS. 25 to 27, there is no difference in the moving distance between the case where the user terminal 200B is shared and the case where the user terminal 200A is not shared, but the user terminal 200A is used when and not shared. There is a difference in the moving distance between and. That is, the moving distance of the user terminal 200A becomes longer than necessary in order to get the user terminal 200B on board. According to the shared fare calculation system 13 according to the third modification of the first embodiment, even in such a case, a fair burden ratio can be calculated.

As described above, according to the shared charge calculation system 13 according to the third modification of the first embodiment of the present invention, the shared section is calculated without increasing the burden on the user and the driver of the vehicle, as in the first embodiment. It is possible to provide a calculation server that calculates the burden ratio of the usage fee according to the boarding distance of the user who used the shared ride, and a communication terminal that communicates with the calculation server. In addition, when moving to a destination using a shared ride, it is fair even if the travel distance becomes longer than necessary when moving to the destination without using a shared ride. The burden ratio can be calculated.

<Embodiment 2>
The shared fare calculation system according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. The outline of the shared charge calculation system, the hardware configuration of the calculation server, the hardware configuration of the user terminal, and the hardware configuration of the vehicle are the same as those of the shared charge calculation system 10 according to the first embodiment. The explanation is omitted. In the second embodiment, the user terminal 200 communicates with the charge meter of the vehicle 300 to receive the operation charge from the vehicle 300. The function of the communication terminal of the second embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment and its modifications. Therefore, here, the functional configuration of the communication terminal of the second embodiment will be described, and the description of other configurations will be omitted. Here, the user terminal 200 may directly communicate with the charge meter of the vehicle 300, or the user terminal 200 communicates with the charge meter of the vehicle 300 via one or both of the arrangement server 120 and the calculation server 110. You may.

[Functional configuration of communication terminal that requires operation]
The operation requesting communication terminal used in the shared charge calculation system 20 according to the second embodiment will be described. The functional configuration of the user terminal 200A used in the shared fare calculation system 20 is similar to that of the user terminal 200A used in the shared fare calculation system 10 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. In that it has an operation charge information receiving unit 278 that receives the operation charge information including the operation charge information, and an operation charge information transmission unit 280 that transmits the operation charge information received by the operation charge information receiving unit 278 to the calculation server 110. It is different from the user terminal 200A used in the shared fare calculation system 10. Here, the operation charge information receiving unit 278 does not need to directly communicate with the vehicle 300 or the charge meter of the vehicle 300. For example, the operation charge information receiving unit 278 is via one or both of the arrangement server 120 and the calculation server 110. It suffices to communicate with the vehicle 300 or the charge meter of the vehicle 300.

[Functional configuration of the communication terminal to be on board]
FIG. 29 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a communication terminal used in the shared charge calculation system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

It is different from the terminal 200A.

Since the user terminal 200B does not need to make an operation request, it does not have to have the operation request signal transmission unit 270 as described above. However, this does not limit that the user terminal 200B does not have the operation request signal transmission unit 270. Of course, the user terminal 200B may have an operation request signal transmission unit 270.

As described above, according to the shared charge calculation system 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, as in the first embodiment, the shared section is calculated without increasing the burden on the user and the driver of the vehicle, and the shared is used. It is possible to provide a calculation server that calculates the burden ratio of the usage fee according to the boarding distance of the user and a communication terminal that communicates with the calculation server. Further, by enabling communication between the charge meter of the vehicle 300 and the user terminal 200, data can be exchanged more efficiently.
