<Embodiment 1>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a waiting support system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The waiting support system includes a plurality of terminal devices 10 owned by each user who performs waiting, and a server 20 that communicates with those terminal devices 10 via the Internet 30. Here, four terminal devices 10a to 10d are shown as a plurality of terminal devices 10 that perform waiting.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of terminal apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment. The terminal device 10 includes a communication unit 11, a current position acquisition unit 12, a map information storage unit 13, an input unit 14, an output unit 15, and a control unit 16.

  The communication unit 11 is means for the terminal device 10 to communicate with the server 20 via the Internet 30. The communication unit 11 may not be built in the terminal device 10 and may be configured by a communication device (for example, a mobile phone or a smartphone) externally attached to the terminal device 10.

  The current position acquisition unit 12 is typically a GPS receiver that receives a GPS (Global Positioning System) signal and acquires an absolute position (latitude, longitude), but a relative position (change in position). A speed sensor, an azimuth sensor, and the like may be included. The current position acquisition unit 12 may not be built in the terminal device 10, and may be configured by an external device (for example, a navigation device) that can provide the terminal device 10 with position information.

  The map information storage unit 13 is a storage medium (hard disk, memory, etc.) that stores map information. The map information storage unit 13 may not be incorporated in the terminal device 10, and a storage device (removable media) externally attached to the terminal device 10 or an external device (for example, an apparatus that can provide map information to the terminal device 10) Navigation device), a map information server capable of providing map information to the terminal device 10 through the communication unit 11, and the like.

  The input unit 14 is a unit that receives a user instruction to the terminal device 10. The input unit 14 may be hardware such as an operation button or a mouse, or may be a software key using an icon displayed on the screen. Furthermore, a voice recognition device in which a user inputs operation contents by voice may be used. In the first embodiment, the user can use the input unit 14 to select a desired place category (desired category) as a time adjustment place to stop by before waiting.

  The output unit 15 is means for presenting information output from the terminal device 10 to the user by video or audio. The output unit 15 that outputs video is typically a liquid crystal display, but an external device (for example, a smartphone or a tablet terminal) having an image display function may be used. As the output unit 15 that outputs sound, a speaker, a headphone, or the like is generally used, but an external device having a sound output function may also be used.

  Moreover, when displaying the software key as the input part 14 on the screen of the output part 15, the output part 15 and the input part 14 may be comprised as one touch panel which has both functions.

  The control unit 16 comprehensively controls the operation of each element of the terminal device 10 based on a user instruction input from the input unit 14 and information received from the server 20. Further, the control unit 16 can cause the output unit 15 to display a map around the current position using the current position acquired by the current position acquisition unit 12 and the map information stored in the map information storage unit 13. . Further, the control unit 16 can search for an optimum route from the current position to the destination and perform route guidance from the current position to the destination. The route guidance is implemented by using the output unit 15 to display a map and a route to the destination or to output a voice guidance.

  As a specific device serving as the terminal device 10, for example, a portable device such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, and a tablet terminal, and an in-vehicle device such as a navigation device and a display device for a vehicle are conceivable. In Embodiment 1, it is assumed that terminal devices 10a to 10d shown in FIG. 1 are all in-vehicle devices.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the server 20. The server 20 includes a communication unit 21, a terminal device information acquisition unit 22, a gathering area setting unit 23, a time adjustment information presentation unit 24, a map information storage unit 25, and a map information storage unit 25. The server 20 is configured using a computer, and the terminal device information acquisition unit 22, the gathering area setting unit 23, and the time adjustment information presentation unit 24 are realized by the computer operating according to a program. The map information storage unit 25 is configured by a storage medium such as a hard disk, a removable medium, or a memory.

  The communication unit 21 is a communication device for the server 20 to communicate with a plurality of terminal devices 10 (10a to 10d) via the Internet 30.

  The terminal device information acquisition unit 22 acquires information transmitted from each terminal device 10 through the communication unit 21. The terminal device information acquisition unit 22 acquires information on the position information acquisition unit 221 that acquires information on the current position of each terminal device 10 and the category (desired category) of the time adjustment place selected by the user of each terminal device 10. A desired category information acquisition unit 222.

  The collective area setting unit 23 sets collective areas of a plurality of terminal devices 10 that perform waiting. The collective area setting unit 23 includes a collective area reference point selecting unit 231 that selects a “collective area reference point” that is a reference point for determining the collective areas of the plurality of terminal devices 10. A range having a certain extent including the collection area reference point selected by the collection area reference point selection unit 231 is set as the collection area.

  The method of selecting the meeting area reference point by the meeting area reference point selecting unit 231 may be arbitrary. For example, a method is conceivable in which a polygonal barycentric position having the current position of each of the plurality of terminal devices 10 to be queried as apexes is selected as the collection area reference point. In addition, for example, a method may be used in which information on a meeting place desired by the user is collected from a plurality of terminal devices 10 and a polygonal barycentric position having those positions as apexes is selected as a collecting area reference point. Furthermore, a method may be used in which priorities are defined in advance for each of the plurality of terminal devices 10 and the meeting place desired by the user of the terminal device 10 having the highest priority is adopted as the meeting area reference point.

  The method of determining the collective area by the collective area setting unit 23 may be arbitrary. For example, a method in which a range within a certain distance from the collective area reference point is used as the collective area can be considered. Here, the “distance” may be a straight distance or a road distance (a distance along the road).

  In addition, a method of setting a range that can move within a certain time from the collection area reference point as a collection area is also conceivable. In this case, when the terminal device 10 is an in-vehicle device as in the first embodiment, the type of road (highway, general road, etc.) used for movement and traffic information (congestion information, construction section information, etc.) are displayed. Consider it. Moreover, when the terminal device 10 is a portable device for pedestrians, the type of transportation means (train, car, etc.) used for movement may be considered.

  The collective area setting unit 23 may have a function of selecting not only the collective area but also the final collective location of the plurality of terminal devices 10. For example, a method of selecting a meeting place using the same method as the method of selecting a meeting area reference point described above can be considered. The meeting place may be the same place as the meeting area reference point or a different place. In addition, when selecting a meeting place using a gravity center position, a gravity center position may not necessarily be a place suitable for waiting. Therefore, it is desirable to refer to the map information stored in the map information storage unit 25 and select a suitable meeting place near the center of gravity as the meeting place.

  The time adjustment information presentation unit 24 is a time adjustment place and the time that can be stayed at the place (a stayable time) for a terminal that can arrive earlier than the meeting time of the meeting among a plurality of terminal devices 10 that wait. Present. Presentation of the time adjustment place and the stayable time from the time adjustment information presentation unit 24 to each terminal device 10 is performed by communication using the communication unit 21.

  The time adjustment information presenting unit 24 calculates an arrival time calculating unit 241 that calculates a time at which each terminal device 10 can arrive in the gathering area (arrival time), and a time adjustment place presentation that presents the time adjustment location to each terminal device 10. Unit 242 and a stayable time presenting unit 243 that presents a stayable time to each terminal device 10.

  The arrival time calculation unit 241 performs a route search from the current position of each terminal device 10 to the set area using the current position of each terminal device 10 and the map information stored in the map information storage unit 25, and obtains it. Based on the route obtained, the arrival time of each terminal apparatus 10 in the collective area is calculated. In this calculation, it is desirable to consider the type of road, traffic information, type of means of transportation, etc. included in the route.

  The arrival time of each terminal device 10 calculated by the arrival time calculation unit 241 is used for extraction of the terminal device 10 that can arrive earlier than the meeting time for waiting and calculation of the stayable time at the time adjustment place.

  Note that the meeting time of the meeting may be determined in advance by the users of the plurality of terminal apparatuses 10 performing the meeting, but in Embodiment 1, the latest arrival time of the plurality of terminal apparatuses 10 is Assume that the set time is determined. Therefore, terminals other than the terminal device 10 having the latest arrival time are terminal devices 10 that can arrive earlier than the set time.

  The time adjustment place presentation unit 242 searches for a place that exists in the set area set by the set area setting unit 23 and corresponds to the desired category selected by the user of each terminal device 10, and finds the found place, The terminal device 10 is presented to the terminal device 10 as a time adjustment place. When a plurality of places corresponding to the desired category are found, one of them is selected as the time adjustment place. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the closest location to the gathering area reference point is selected from a plurality of locations corresponding to the desired category. If the meeting place is determined, it is desirable to select the one closest to the meeting place in terms of distance or time. Or you may make it select the thing which can ensure the longest possible stay time from several places applicable to a desired category.

  As described above, in Embodiment 1, the latest arrival time of a plurality of terminal devices 10 is determined as the set time, so that the terminal device 10 having the latest arrival time adjusts the time. There is no need to do it. Therefore, the time adjustment place is not presented for the terminal device 10 with the latest arrival time (the search may not be performed).

  When time adjustment is required for all the terminal devices 10, the time adjustment location is presented to all the terminal devices 10. For example, if the user sets the meeting time to be later than the arrival time of all the terminal devices 10, time adjustment is required for all the terminal devices 10.

  The stayable time presentation unit 243 calculates a time (stayable time) in which the terminal device 10 can stay at the time adjustment place of the terminal device 10 determined by the time adjustment place presentation unit 242, and sends it to the terminal device 10. Present. The stayable time at the time adjustment place of each terminal device 10 is calculated based on the difference between the meeting time of waiting and the arrival time of each terminal device 10. For example, when the meeting time is 3 o'clock and the arrival time of a terminal device 10 is 2:30, the stayable time at the time adjustment place of the terminal device 10 is 30 minutes.

  In the first embodiment, the time at which each terminal apparatus 10 can arrive at the collection area is defined as the arrival time. You may define as time, and may define the time which can arrive at a time adjustment place as arrival time. However, when the time that can arrive at the time adjustment place is the arrival time, it is necessary to select the time adjustment place of each terminal device 10 first and then calculate the arrival time of each terminal device 10 after that.

  Basically, the server 20 presents the information of the time adjustment place and the stayable time to all the terminal devices 10 whose arrival time is earlier than the set time, but the stayable time is extremely short, and it is possible to stop in effect. For those that cannot, presentation to the terminal device 10 may be omitted.

  Next, the operation of the entire waiting support system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, it is assumed that the terminal devices 10a to 10d are waiting in the waiting support system shown in FIG. In addition, the server 20 is notified in advance of a plan for the terminal devices 10a to 10d to wait.

  As a method for notifying the waiting schedule to the server 20, for example, a method in which one user among a plurality of terminal devices 10 that perform waiting notifies the server 20 of the identifier of the terminal device 10 that is the waiting partner. The waiting plan notified to the server 20 may include designation of a meeting place and a meeting time for meeting. Moreover, the identifier of the terminal device 10 notified to the server 20 may be arbitrary as long as each terminal device 10 can be uniquely identified. For example, the MAC address (Media Access Control address), IP address (Internet Protocol address) of the terminal device 10 may be used. ) Etc. are considered. Moreover, if the terminal device 10 is a mobile phone or a smart phone, a telephone number may be sufficient, and if the terminal device 10 is an in-vehicle device, a vehicle number may be sufficient.

  In the waiting support system of FIG. 1, when the server 20 is notified of the waiting plan for the terminal devices 10a to 10d, the server 20 notifies the terminal devices 10a to 10d accordingly. Then, the screen for selecting the category of a time adjustment place like FIG. 4 is displayed on the output part 15 of terminal device 10a-10d. Each user of the terminal devices 10a to 10d can select a desired category by moving the cursor on the screen using the input unit 14 (FIG. 4 shows a state where “restaurant” is selected).

  When the user of the terminal device 10a to 10d selects the desired category, the terminal device 10a to 10d transmits the current position acquired by the current position acquisition unit 12 and information on the desired category selected by the user to the server 20. The server 20 receives such information. At this time, in the server 20, the position information acquisition unit 221 acquires the current position of the terminal devices 10a to 10d, and the desired category information acquisition unit 222 acquires the desired category selected by each user of the terminal devices 10a to 10d. Subsequently, the collective area setting unit 23 of the server 20 selects a collective area reference point using the collective area reference point selecting unit 231 and further sets a collective area including the collective area reference point.

  Next, the arrival time calculation unit 241 calculates the arrival time for each of the terminal devices 10a to 10d. Moreover, the time adjustment place presentation part 242 searches the place corresponding to the category which the user of each terminal device 10 desires from a collection area. Furthermore, the stayable time presentation unit 243 calculates the stayable time at the time adjustment place of the terminal devices 10a to 10d from the difference between the meeting time of the meeting and the arrival time of each of the terminal devices 10a to 10d. When the time adjustment place and the stayable time of the terminal devices 10a to 10d are determined, the server 20 uses the communication unit 21 to present the time adjustment place and the stayable time to the terminal devices 10a to 10d. At this time, the server 20 may also present to the terminal devices 10a to 10d the collection area reference point selected by the collection area reference point selection unit 231.

  For example, assume that the desired category of the terminal device 10a is “restaurant”, the desired category of the terminal device 10b is “coffee shop”, the desired category of the terminal device 10c is “flower shop”, and the desired category of the terminal device 10d is “bookstore”. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, time adjustment places suitable for those desired categories are searched in the gathering area (in FIG. 5, symbols A to D are restaurants, symbols E to F are coffee shops, symbols G to I). Is a flower shop and symbols J to L are bookstores). If there are multiple locations that correspond to the desired category, the time adjustment location (restaurant D, coffee shop F, flower shop I, bookstore L in FIG. 5) that is closest to the gathering area reference point is selected and can stay. Presented to the terminal devices 10a to 10d with time. However, in the example of FIG. 5, since the terminal device 10d has the latest arrival time, the time adjustment place (bookstore L) is not presented to the terminal device 10d.

  When receiving the presentation of the time adjustment place and the stayable time from the server 20, the terminal devices 10a to 10d display the contents on the output unit 15 to notify the user. FIG. 6 shows a display example. This figure shows a display example on the terminal device 10a whose desired category is “restaurant”.

  Until the user of the terminal device 10a to 10c arrives at the gathering area, the user of the terminal device 10a to 10c stops at the time adjustment place presented by the server 20, and waits for the time that can be stayed on the spot. Can be performed smoothly. Further, since the time adjustment place is a place that matches a desired category selected in advance by each user, the user can adjust the time at a place according to his / her preference.

  Next, the operation of each terminal device 10 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation.

  When the control unit 16 of the terminal device 10 receives the notice of the waiting plan from the server 20, the control unit 16 displays a time adjustment place category selection screen (FIG. 4) on the output unit 15 (step S11). When the user selects a desired time adjustment place category (desired category) using the selection screen (step S12), the control unit 16 uses the communication unit 11 to acquire the current position acquired by the current position acquisition unit 12. Information of the desired category selected by the user is transmitted to the server 20 (step S13). Then, the server 20 waits for the time adjustment place determined by the server 20 and the stayable time at the time adjustment place to be transmitted from the server 20 (step S14).

  When the communication unit 11 of the terminal device 10 receives the time adjustment place and the stayable time determined by the server 20 (YES in step S14), the control unit 16 sets the time adjustment place and the stayable time as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the output unit 15 (step S15).

  Next, the operation of the server 20 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation.

  When the server 20 receives the notice of the waiting plan from any one of the terminal devices 10, the server 20 notifies the plurality of terminal devices 10 that are to be waiting that the waiting plan is present, and the current position and time from the plurality of terminal devices 10 that are to be waited for. Wait for information on the desired category of the adjustment location to be sent. The communication unit 21 receives the information transmitted from each terminal device 10 (step S21).

  When information on the desired category of the current position and the time adjustment place is received from all the terminal devices 10 that perform the waiting (YES in step S22), the meeting area reference point selection unit 231 selects the meeting area reference point and sets the meeting area. The unit 23 sets a collective area including the collective area reference point (step S23). Subsequently, the arrival time calculation unit 241 calculates the arrival time of each terminal apparatus 10 in the collective area (step S24).

  Thereafter, the following steps S25 and S26 are performed on all the terminal devices 10 except the latest arrival time (that is, all the terminal devices 10 whose arrival time is earlier than the set time). In step S <b> 25, the time adjustment place presentation unit 242 searches for a place that matches the desired category of the terminal device 10 in the collective area, and determines the found place as the time adjustment place of the terminal device 10. In step S26, the difference between the arrival time of the terminal device 10 and the latest arrival time of the plurality of terminal devices 10 is calculated, and the calculation result can be stayed at the time adjustment place of the terminal device 10. Decide as time.

  When the processes of steps S25 and S26 are completed for all the terminal devices 10 except the latest arrival time, the determined time adjustment place and the stayable time are presented to each terminal device 10. Specifically, information on the determined time adjustment place and stayable time is transmitted to each terminal device 10 using the communication unit 21 (step S27).

  The plurality of terminal devices 10 that perform waiting perform the processing of FIG. 7 and the server 20 performs the processing of FIG. 8, thereby realizing the operation of the entire waiting support system described above.

  In the above description, the operation until the terminal device 10 notifies the user of the time adjustment place and the stayable time is shown. However, when the terminal device 10 has a route guidance function, the terminal device 10 Route guidance from the position to the time adjustment place may be performed. In addition, when the meeting place is determined, route guidance from the time adjustment place to the meeting place may be performed. As a result, the meeting can be performed more smoothly.
