Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a call-bus management system,

The present invention relates to a call bus operation system and method capable of sharing a travel history through a community service. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and a method for operating a call bus, Technology.

If you go on a group trip at a company, school, or any kind of gathering, you will have to charter the bus and travel to your destination.

Conventionally, when a chartered bus is used, a specific bus company is called to explain a travel schedule, and when a bus company designates a bus to complete a contract, the travel schedule is extinguished using a designated bus.

In other words, if one bus is designated, only the bus must be used during the itinerary. For example, if you arrive at Mt. Mt. in Seoul and return to Seoul after 4 hours of sightseeing, the designated bus departs from Seoul and arrives at Mt. Mt. Mt. Esu, waiting for more than 4 hours for travelers to finish sightseeing, . In this case, the bus is not running for four hours while the tourists are touring, but it is natural that the total cost includes the cost of waiting for the bus driver. Therefore, it is necessary to pay an additional amount of time that is not operated by the user, and in the case of a bus driver, the unreasonable tolerance condition will lead to a decrease in the profit over time.

Meanwhile, a system for supporting a reservation of a chartered bus on the Internet has been proposed in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2004-0040009 (system and method for providing information on the way to provide information for using the Internet). However, the prior art is limited to supporting the existing charter bus reservation method through the Internet. That is, since it is still necessary to extinguish all the travel schedules by using a designated bus, the above-described phenomenon that the tolerance waiting time of the bus occurs excessively can not be prevented.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been conceived to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a system and method for storing a schedule of buses, By establishing and providing an optimal segmental dispatch plan considering the starting point and departure time, the bus can be moved to another passenger immediately without staying in a tolerated state while the traveler is digging the tour schedule, Providing the call bus operation system and the call bus operation method which can reduce the waiting time by significantly reducing the cost and allow the departure of the bus operator from the viewpoint of the bus driver, It has its purpose.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of operating a call bus capable of sharing a long journey through a community service according to the present invention, the method comprising: receiving, by a bus information operating unit of a call bus operating system (A) storing bus information including bus schedule for each bus to maintain bus information D / B; (B) storing the application information in the application information D / B at the application information operating unit of the system by inputting and transmitting the application information including the desired schedule at the applicant terminal; (C) confirming the bus information D / B at the dispatch plan establishing unit of the system and establishing a dispatch plan for each section corresponding to the application information; (D) providing the established dispatch plan to the applicant terminal in the information provision of the system; When the applicant terminal receives the contract request for the allocation schedule for each section, the bus information management unit and the application information management unit of the system store the allocation plan in the bus information D / B and the application information D / B, respectively, (E); And (f) notifying the dispatch plan to the applicant terminal and one or more article terminals included in the dispatch plan.

Here, the schedule of the bus information includes an arrival point and an expected arrival date, and the desired schedule of the application information includes the branch information and the departure date at each branch, and in the step (c) Wherein the predetermined time of travel from the specific point to the next point of the application information is calculated to extract the next point arrival date and time, and the travel schedule from the departure date to the next point arrival date is empty, It is possible to dispatch a bus that is scheduled to arrive to a position adjacent to the specific point prior to a certain time from the departure date at a specific point.

In the step (c), when establishing the dispatch plan, the cost information is calculated together with the travel distance of each section, and when the dispatch plan that matches the desired schedule of the application information is established, the normal cost is calculated , And if a dispatch plan that matches the desired schedule of the application information is not established, the discount plan can be calculated while establishing a dispatch plan adjacent to the desired schedule of the application information.

The applicant terminal and the article terminal can input the application information or confirm the dispatch plan through a dedicated application. After the dispatch plan is notified to the applicant terminal and the article terminal in the step (f) And (g) informing the dispatch plan in a pushing manner before a predetermined time from departure date of each point included in the plan.

In addition, in the article terminal, the dispatch plan is notified and stored through a dedicated application. When electric power is supplied to a bus electric signboard installed on a bus running by the article owner, the bus electric signboard (H) receiving and storing the data; And a step (i) of outputting a dispatch plan corresponding to the specific departure time, when it is determined that a specific departure time arrives from the bus schedule included in the dispatch plan on the bus display board .

In order to achieve the above object, a call bus operation method capable of dispatching according to intervals includes an information receiver for receiving application information including a desired schedule from an applicant terminal; An application information operating unit for storing the received application information in the application information D / B; A dispatch plan establishing unit for establishing a dispatch plan for each section corresponding to the application information through a bus information D / B storing bus information including a schedule for each bus; And an information providing unit for providing the established allocation plan to the applicant terminal. When the information receiving unit receives a contract request for the interval allocation plan from the applicant terminal, the bus information managing unit and the bus information managing unit, The application information operating unit stores and updates the dispatch plan in the bus information D / B and the application information D / B, respectively, and the information providing unit updates the dispatch plan to one or more article terminals included in the applicant terminal and the dispatch plan Can notify.

Here, the schedule of the bus information includes an arrival point and an expected arrival date, the desired schedule of the application information includes branch information and a departure date at each branch, and the allocation plan establishing unit The scheduled travel time from the specific point to the next point of the application information is calculated to extract the next scheduled point-of-arrival date, and the scheduled travel time from the departure date to the next point arrival date at the specified point is empty, It is possible to dispatch a bus that is expected to arrive at a position adjacent to the specific point before a certain time from the departure date of the bus.

Also, the dispatch plan establishing unit may calculate together with the cost information according to the travel distance of each section when establishing the dispatch plan, calculate a normal cost when a dispatch plan matching the desired schedule of the application information is established, If a dispatch plan consistent with the desired schedule of the application information is not established, the discount cost can be calculated while establishing the dispatch plan adjacent to the desired schedule of the application information.

According to the call bus operation system and the call bus operation method which can share the latter part of the travel through the community service according to the present invention, the following effects can be expected.

First, in the call bus management system, the bus information including the operation schedule is held in the database, and when the application information including the desired schedule is received from the applicant terminal, the dispatch plan for each section corresponding to the application information is established, Thus, different buses can be dispatched for each section, which can significantly reduce the occurrence of bus tolerances. In other words, for an applicant who wishes to use a chartered bus that can be used only in a specific section, it is not necessary to pay the price for the allowance condition, so that the cost of using a chartered bus can be lowered. The more you can drive, the more profitable you will have.

In particular, the departure planning department of the call bus operation system calculates the scheduled travel time from a specific point of the application information to the next point, extracts the next scheduled point of arrival date, and runs from the departure date point at the specified point to the scheduled arrival date The bus schedule is set in such a manner that a bus scheduled to arrive at a position adjacent to the specific point is distributed prior to a certain time before the departure date at a specific point while the schedule is empty. It is possible to establish a dispatch plan that matches exactly with the application information. In other words, it is impossible to request the dispatch of a specific bus without considering the convenience of the user while ignoring the travel plan previously set up by the user, and to set up an optimal dispatch plan considering the entire bus schedule through the above- Therefore, it is possible to minimize the tolerance condition by increasing the circulation rate of the buses.

In addition, after a dedicated application for service use is installed in the applicant terminal and the article terminal, application information can be input through the dedicated application or the dispatch plan can be conveniently checked. When the travel time at a specific point comes, The terminal can notify by push, and it is possible to extinguish the itinerary smoothly. In other words, in the present invention, since one bus does not exhaust all of the travel schedule of one team, the applicant may be confused as to which bus to use at which time, Confusion can arise whether you need to burn it or not, and you can be confused by the help of the push feature and the confirmation of the dispatch plan through a dedicated application.

In addition, a bus display board installed on the front of the bus is interlocked with a knight horse, so that the dispatch plan stored in the article terminal is automatically stored on the bus display board, and the bus display board automatically displays a dispatch plan including the name of the applicant It is possible to effectively support the boarding of the passengers by outputting.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, some configurations which are not related to the gist of the present invention may be omitted or compressed, but the configurations omitted are not necessarily required for the present invention, and they may be combined by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. .

In addition, each component, server, and system described below does not necessarily have to be an independent component or server that performs each function, but may be implemented as one or more programs or one or more servers or a collection of one or more systems, May be shared.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining a call bus operation system (hereinafter referred to as a 'call bus operation system' or 'system') capable of section-based dispatching according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1, a call bus operating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an interface unit 105, an interface providing unit 110, an information receiving unit 115, an information providing unit 120, A dispatch plan setting unit 130, an application information operating unit 135, an additional service operating unit 140 and a payment processing unit 145. [

The interface unit 105 is provided for communication channel connection for transmitting and receiving information with the applicant terminal 210, the article terminal 215, the operator terminal 205, or the bus company dispatch server 220.

Here, the applicant terminal 210 is a terminal capable of providing application information including a desired schedule through the call bus operating system 100 and transmitting and receiving a dispatch plan from the system 100, Or may refer to all the terminals used by all the members of the group participating in the trip comprehensively.

Also, the article terminal 215 is a terminal capable of receiving and outputting a dispatch plan from the call bus operating system 100, and is a terminal used by a bus driver who operates a specific bus.

The operator terminal 205 is a terminal used by a staff member of a company providing a call bus operation service through the call bus operating system 100. For example, a terminal used by a call center employee of a service provider.

The bus company dispatch server 220 refers to a server operated by an affiliated bus company in order to utilize the call bus management service provided through the call bus operating system 100.

The interface providing unit 110 is provided for providing a dedicated application for service use or providing a user interface to the applicant terminal 210, the article terminal 215, or the operator terminal 205 in cooperation with the interface unit 105 .

The information receiving unit 115 is provided to receive bus information including vehicle information, article information, and schedule of travel from the operator terminal 205 or the bus company dispatch server 220 in connection with the interface unit 105. The information receiving unit 115 can also receive the application information including the applicant information and the desired schedule via the applicant terminal 210 or the operator terminal 205. [

The information providing unit 120 provides a dedicated application to the applicant terminal 210, the article terminal 215 and the bus company dispatch server 220 in conjunction with the interface providing unit 110 or transmits the determined dispatch information .

The bus information operating unit 125 stores the bus information received through the information receiving unit 115 in the bus information D / B 175 or the bus information stored in the bus information D / B 175 . The bus information operating unit 125 is also provided for storing and updating the dispatch plan established by the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 in the bus information D / B 175.

An example of the bus information stored in the bus information D / B 175 is shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 2, the bus information includes a vehicle number for a plurality of buses affiliated with the service, the name of the driver who operates the bus, the name of the article operating the bus, the terminal number of the article, .

Vehicle information such as a vehicle number, a garden, an article name, an article terminal number, affiliated company information, and the like may be input through an operator terminal 205 when entering into a partnership with a bus company or provided through a bus company dispatch server 220 Fixed information, but if some vehicles are inoperable or the bus driver is replaced, the information may be updated and changed from time to time. Also, each bus information is matched with the travel schedule.

For example, if you look at the bus schedule of the Busan (Bus No. 17, Bus 6720), you can see the name of the applicant (or meeting name), the applicant terminal number (representative terminal number of the meeting), the number of passengers, City, etc. are arranged by time zone. In addition, when a plurality of buses have to travel together due to a large number of tourists of one team, additional information such as the number of buses allocated to the buses and the information of other buses may be matched and stored.

The schedule of the operation may be updated through the input of the operator terminal 205 or may be provided and updated by the bus company dispatch server 220 and may be updated in the application information of the applicant terminal 210 connected to the call bus operating system 100 The dispatch plan may be established and automatically updated as shown in FIG. 6 when the contract is completed. The description will be made later.

In the meantime, only the buses belonging to the bus company have been dealt with, but those who directly operate their own buses in the form of individual businesses can participate in the service. That is, the person providing the call bus management service through the call bus operating system 100 according to the present invention shares the schedule of the buses belonging to the cooperating bus company after establishing a partnership with various bus companies. In addition, the driver who owns his own bus can also share the information of the car, the information of the article, and the schedule of operation by establishing an alliance with the call bus management system (100) individually for using the call bus operation service. At this time, since it is difficult to operate a separate dispatch server in the case of a personal article other than a bus company, the operation schedule and the like can be updated through the dedicated application of the article terminal 215 owned by the personal article and updated from time to time. Of course, if the bus owned by the registered personal article is dispatched in a specific section according to the dispatch plan establishment of the dispatch plan establishing unit 130, the schedule of the operation is automatically updated.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishes a dispatch plan for each section corresponding to the application information by checking the bus information D / B 175 in conjunction with the bus information operating unit 125. In addition, the dispatch planning establishing unit 130 calculates together with cost information according to the travel distance of each section, and a specific explanation of the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishing the dispatch plan will be described later.

The application information operating unit 135 stores the application information received through the information receiving unit 115 in the application information D / B 180 or the application information stored in the application information D / B 180 .

An example of the application information stored in the application information D / B 180 is shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 3, the application information includes an applicant name (or a meeting name) input through (or selected by) the applicant terminal 210, an applicant terminal number, a person and a desired schedule.

Here, the desired schedule is divided according to the travel plan. For example, an applicant named Kim Yusin will leave the Gwangju World Cup Stadium on July 31, 2014, have lunch at the nearby Damyangsubo Forest, move to the accommodation of Jiri Mountain Natural Recreation Forest, stay for a day and return to Gwangju World Cup Stadium next day (Or select) the departure date at each point and the point of departure, and is stored in the application information D / B 180. Of course, Figure 3 suggests the schedule of the departure place (Gwangju World Cup Stadium), the first stopping point (Damyangjeoknonwon), the destination (Jiri Mountain Natural Recreation Forest) and the final destination (Gwangju World Cup Stadium, usually the first starting point) It may exist.

And FIG. 3 shows an example of a state in which the applicant provided only the initial application information. In other words, the dispatch plan or the contract has not yet been made. Therefore, the dispatch information (dispatch plan) for each section can be confirmed as undetermined. Also, when the applicant enters the application information, he or she can input the approximate travel time according to the travel plan. However, in the present embodiment, since the travel time for each section can be calculated through the process to be described later, it is not necessary to input the applicant in the application process, and only the departure time for each branch is inputted .

After the initial application information as shown in FIG. 3 is received, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishes an optimal dispatch plan for each section and is provided to the applicant terminal 210. When the applicant confirms the contract The dispatch information (dispatch plan) is stored matching the initial application information. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the dispatch information is matched to the application information D / B 180 after the contract is concluded.

Meanwhile, the applicant may input the application information through the dedicated application installed in the applicant terminal 210 and transmit the application information to the call bus operating system 100 or access the separate web page to transmit the application information. However, And the application information D / B 180 may be established by the call center employee inputting the application information through the operator terminal 205. The application information D /

1, the additional service operating unit 140 is provided to provide an additional service such as a community service operated by the call bus operating system 100. [ That is, the applicant inputs the application information through the dedicated application installed in the applicant terminal 210, confirms the dispatch information, and shares the dispatch information, the travel plan and the review with the parties using the community service provided through the dedicated application I can do it.

In addition, the supplementary service operation unit 140 may provide the start position or the travel route according to the dispatch plan to the applicant terminal 210 as map information in association with a separate map information providing system (not shown) The parties can confirm the movement path of the persons. Of course, it is possible to grasp at a glance where the bus driver should move for the next operation by providing the point-of-departure start position, the travel route, etc. according to the dispatch plan to the article terminal 215 as well.

The settlement processing unit 145 is provided for processing the settlement when the dispatch plan established by the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 is provided to the applicant terminal 210 and the applicant terminal 210 concludes the contract. The settlement processing unit 145 can support settlement in connection with a financial system, a credit card company or a VAN company. In addition, the payment method may be performed through points or miles earned to the applicant.

On the other hand, a bus electric sign board 225 interlocked with the article terminal 215 in the call bus operating system 100 shown in FIG. 1 is installed on the front of the bus to output guide information such as a dispatch plan. In the present invention, since one bus is not responsible for the travel of all of the tourists to a team of tourists, there may be confusion as to which bus the applicant should use for each section. To this end, the bus display board 225 connects the article terminal 215 with a short-distance wireless communication channel such as Bluetooth, receives and stores the dispatch plan from the article terminal 215, and then outputs the guide information by time according to the dispatch plan So that the convenience of travelers can be improved.

The functional description of each component of the call bus operating system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above will be further described with reference to the call bus operating method described below with reference to FIG.

4 is a flowchart for explaining a call bus operation method capable of dispatching according to an embodiment of the present invention. That is, a procedure for establishing an interval allocation plan through the call bus operating system 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

First, the applicant and the bus driver can input application information through a dedicated application installed in the applicant terminal 210 and the article terminal 215 and transmit the application information or receive and output a dispatch plan (dispatch information) In the following embodiments, both the applicant terminal 210 and the article terminal 215 are provided with a dedicated application for the purpose of using the service through a dedicated application. It is assumed that information is exchanged.

First, the call bus operating system 100 updates the bus information including the schedule of the bus at all times to the bus information D / B 175 to maintain the database (S405). The bus information includes basic vehicle information such as a car number, a garden, an article name, an article terminal number, affiliated companies, and the like, and an updated schedule of daily operations, an example of which is shown in FIG.

The interface providing unit 110 of the system 100 connects with the interface unit 105 by operating the dedicated application at the applicant terminal 210 and accessing the call bus operating system 100 to request service use And provides a user interface for inputting application information to the applicant terminal 210 side.

(Or selects) application information including an applicant name (or a meeting name), an applicant terminal number, a person and a desired schedule via a user interface output to the applicant terminal 210 and transmits the application information to the system 100 The information receiving unit 115 of the system 100 receives the application information in association with the interface unit 105 and the application information operating unit 135 transmits the received application information to the application information D / B 180 And stores it.

An example of the initial application information received from the applicant terminal 210 and stored in the application information D / B 180 is shown in FIG.

Then, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 of the system 100 confirms the bus information D / B 175 in connection with the bus information operating unit 125 and establishes a dispatch plan corresponding to the application information (S430).

At this time, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishes a dispatch plan so that buses are allocated separately for each section in consideration of the departure time of each point of the desired schedule included in the application information. Of course, if the waiting time at a particular point is not long, it is preferable that all the same buses are dispensed in successive sections.

In addition, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishes a dispatch plan so that the travel distance and the waiting time of the bus are minimized when the bus dispatch is performed in a specific section. Specifically, the dispatch planning establishing unit 130 calculates a scheduled travel time from a specific point to a next point in the application information, extracts a next point arrival date, and calculates a time from the departure date at the specified point to the next scheduled arrival point The bus scheduled to arrive at a position adjacent to the specific point is delivered prior to a certain time from the departure time at the specific point while the schedule is empty.

For example, the applicant of [Kim Yu-shin] among the application information shown in FIG. 3 is one section of [Gwangju World Cup Stadium, departure at 10:30 am on July 31, 2014 and departed from Damyang- Recreational Forest] and [Jirisan Recreational Forest, Departure from 14:00 (2014.08.01) -> Gwangju World Cup Stadium]. Accordingly, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishes the optimal dispatch plan sequentially from the first section. In the process of dispatching the dispatch plan for the three sections, first, the scheduled travel time from the Jiri Sanctuary to the Gwangju World Cup Stadium . Here, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 may calculate a scheduled travel time in conjunction with a separate navigation system (not shown). If 2 hours and 30 minutes are scheduled to arrive, then the departure time at the Jirisan Recreational Forest will be 2:30 pm from the time of departure at 14:00 on the date of 2014.08.01. will be.

Accordingly, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 only obeys buses with an empty schedule from 14:00 on 2014.08.01 to 16:30 on 2014.08.01. Of course, it is preferable to limit the bus to an empty schedule for a spare time of 30 minutes or more back and forth. Then, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 first dispatches a bus that is scheduled to arrive to a position adjacent to the specific point of time before a certain time from the departure time at the specific point among the buses whose flight schedule is empty during the relevant time. In other words, the starting point of the section is Jirisan Natural Recreation Forest, and the departure date at that point is 2014.08.01 14:00. Therefore, it is to confirm whether there is a bus to arrive at Jiri natural recreation forest just before 14:00 on 2014.08.01. Referring to the bus information shown in FIG. 2, it can be confirmed that the bus scheduled to arrive at Jiri Mountain Natural Recreation Forest just before 14:00 on August 4, 2014 is [17th Ma 6720] bus operated by the article called Hong Kil Dong.

Therefore, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 first dispatches [Bus 17, Bus 6720]. Of course, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishes a final dispatch plan by referring to the schedule of buses that follow the arrival of the corresponding section. For example, in the above example, the bus for Hong Kil-dong will arrive at Gwangju at 16:30. If the next bus schedule is starting at Jeonju at 17:00, it is impossible for the bus to actually travel to Jeonju by 17:00. It is excluded from the plan.

However, in the example of FIG. 2, the bus of Hong Gil-dong [67th Gyeonggi 6720] is scheduled to depart at 18:00 in Gwangju Airport, so even if the applicant Kim Yu-shin finishes the three sections of the bus, It is an optimal match for this dispatch because you can easily move to the airport within the time, and then you can digest the next schedule.

On the other hand, when the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishes the dispatch plan, the number of passengers and the bus garden should be considered together. For example, an applicant named Kim Yusin applied for 42 passengers, so a 20 passenger bus should be excluded when establishing a dispatch plan.

After the dispatch plan setting unit 130 sets up a dispatch plan that optimally matches each section in step S430, the information providing unit 120 transmits the dispatch plan arranged in association with the interface unit 105 to the applicant terminal 210 (S435).

After the applicant confirms the dispatch plan output through the dedicated application of the applicant terminal 210, the applicant can select whether to contract or not (S440).

If the distribution plan confirmed through the applicant terminal 210 is acceptable, the applicant will accept the contract through the user interface (S445). Then, the payment processor 145 of the system 100 Contract < S450 >

On the other hand, if the established dispatch plan is unacceptable, or if the additional agreement is required and the contract is not accepted, the service may be terminated as it is or may be repeated from the process of establishing the dispatch plan <S430>.

In the above description, when the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 of the system 100 establishes the optimal dispatch plan corresponding to the application information, it is provided to the applicant terminal 210 and the contract is concluded when the applicant accepts it , It can be designed so that the final contract is concluded only if the approval of the bus driver is performed together with the execution.

That is, it is clear that the purpose of providing the bus information such as the vehicle information, the article information, and the schedule of the operation in cooperation with the call bus operation system 100 is that the call bus operation system 100 is completely committed to the dispatch plan in the future . However, in the case of a bus driver, it may seem that the schedule of the dispatch that the system 100 has established is too much, and in this case, the driver of the bus must also reflect his intentions.

For example, suppose that a bus driver A who is scheduled to depart from Seoul at 8:00 am and departs from Busan at 4:00 pm after having performed the service for several sections, and there is no bus driver A after 4:00 pm on that day. At this time, when the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 of the system 100 establishes a dispatch plan according to the application information, the bus driver A will be confirmed when searching for a vehicle moving from Busan to Seoul at 5 pm. Of course, if it is judged that the driver A is able to operate sufficiently, it is possible to carry out the operation according to the dispatch plan, but since it has carried out the high-speed operation from the morning, it can be judged that the driver .

When providing the dispatch plan established in the system 100 to the applicant terminal 210 for this purpose, information is also provided to the article terminal 215 included in the dispatch plan, and the applicant terminal 210 and the article terminal 215, If you accept all of them, you can make the contract happen. Of course, when applying this method, two or more candidate vehicles are selected for one section in order to prepare a dispatch plan in preparation for rejection of a bus driver, and then all the articles are transmitted to the respective article terminals 215, It can be selected as the final dispatch vehicle of the section.

On the other hand, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishes the dispatch plan and provides it to the applicant terminal 210, and the dispatch completion is not completed until the completion of the contract. However, since the established dispatch plan is in a state in which the applicant is able to enter into a sufficient contract in the future, the corresponding time schedule of the buses included in the dispatch plan may be changed until the completion of this contract, Should be excluded from the dispatching plan. This is to prevent duplicate dispatches from occurring for service applications with time differences.

When the contract for the established dispatch plan is completed (S450), the bus information operating unit 125 updates the bus schedule for the buses included in the dispatch plan in the bus information D / B 175, The operation unit 135 stores and stores the dispatch information in the initial application information (S455).

That is, referring to FIG. 5 showing an example of the storage state of the application information in a state in which the contract is completed, it can be confirmed that the allocation plan (allocation information) determined in the initial application information of FIG.

6, which shows an example of a state in which the contract is completed and the schedule of buses is updated, it is shown that the schedule for moving the three sections of the applicant is added to the schedule of operation of Hong Kil-dong article [ Can be confirmed.

Therefore, after the operation of the 'Hot Spring Mountain Club' which arrives at Jirisan Natural Recreation Forest at 13:00 on January 14, 2014, Hong Kil-dong will burn the applicant at the Jirisan Recreational Forest adjacent to Gwangju Airport Because you can move, you can expect additional revenue.

After completing the update of the bus information D / B 175 and the application information D / B 180, the information providing unit 120 of the system 100 transmits the determined dispatch plan to the applicant terminal 210, And provides it to the terminal 215 and the bus company dispatch server 220.

Here, the system 100 may notify the dispatch plan only to representative terminals of a specific meeting. However, if the applicant inputs all the terminal numbers of the persons to travel together when the first application information is input, Or may be provided to the terminal side.

When the dispatch information is output through the dedicated application installed in the applicant terminal 210, the applicant and his / her companions can check at a glance where the dispatcher can use the bus on which the dispatcher operates. In addition, the additional service operation unit 140 of the system 100 can check the boarding position and the movement route through the map information provided by the operation unit 140.

Also, the dispatch plan provided to the article terminal 215 can be confirmed through a dedicated application installed in the article terminal 215. In other words, the bus driver can confirm the position of the driver at a specific time and at any time by confirming the dispatch information, and map information can also be referred to.

And the dispatch plan provided to the bus company dispatch server 220 is utilized for the bus operation plan in the bus company.

On the other hand, when the dispatch plan is notified to the applicant terminal 210 and the article terminal 215 and is stored in each terminal, the dispatch plan is notified in a pushing manner before a predetermined time from the departure date of each point included in the dispatch plan . In other words, in the present invention, since one bus does not exhaust all of the travel schedule of one team, the applicant may be confused as to which bus to use at which time, Confusion can arise whether you need to burn it or not, and you can be confused by the help of the push feature and the confirmation of the dispatch plan through a dedicated application.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining another example of establishing a dispatch plan in the call bus operation method of FIG. That is, after the application information is received in the applicant terminal 210 in FIG. 4 and the application information is stored in the application information D / B 180 in the system 100, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 of the system 100 transmits In conjunction with the information operation unit 125, a dispatch plan corresponding to the application information is established (S705), and it is confirmed whether a dispatch plan that exactly matches the application information is established (S710).

For example, as in the process of FIG. 4, the matching of the Hong Gil Dong articles in the Kim Jae Shin applicant's three-section travel schedule establishes an optimal matching condition. If a dispatch plan that matches the application information is established for all the sections, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 establishes a dispatch plan and calculates a normal cost considering the travel distance for each section (S720) And then provides the dispatch plan including the normal cost to the applicant terminal 210 (S435).

On the other hand, if it is difficult to establish the dispatch plan that exactly matches the application information in all sections or in some sections, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 confirms whether the dispatch plan adjacent to the application information is established (S725).

For example, it is impossible to establish a dispatch plan in which the dispatch planning establishing unit 130 accurately matches the dispatch schedule of one section starting from the Gwangju World Cup Stadium at 2014.07.31 10:30, <S730>, it is necessary to dispatch the vehicle, but because it is not an exact match desired by the applicant, it is necessary to obtain a license from the applicant, (S735) to the applicant terminal 210 (S435).

Of course, whether or not to conclude a contract for a dispatch plan that reflects a discount will ultimately be decided by the applicant.

In addition, if it is not possible to accurately match the dispatch plan with the application information or the adjacent dispatch plan, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 of the system 100 may establish a dispatch plan to the applicant terminal 210 in connection with the information providing unit 120 Notification <S740> is made.

8 is a flowchart for explaining an example of a process in which the bus display panel 225 and the article terminal 215 are interlocked to automatically output the dispatch information.

That is, a dedicated application for use of this service is installed in the article terminal 215 used by the article, and the determined dispatch plan is also transmitted to the article terminal 215 and can be confirmed through the dedicated application or informed by the push function . At this time, the dispatch plan stored in the article terminal 215 can also be output through the bus electric sign board 225 installed on the front of the bus.

First, when the bus driver starts the vehicle for running, power is supplied to the bus electric sign board 225 so that the bus electric sign board 225 and the article terminal 215 can communicate with each other via a short- Connection < S810 >

The exclusive application installed in the article terminal 215 is driven (S815), and the dispatch information (dispatch plan) for the article of the corresponding date is transmitted to the bus electric sign board 225 <S820>. Of course, the entire dispatch information stored in the article terminal 215 may be transmitted instead of the date.

Upon receipt of the dispatch information from the bus electronic sign board 225, it is stored in its own memory (S825). The bus electronic sign board 225 confirms the stored dispatch information and the built-in clock together to check whether a specific departure time has arrived <S830> , And when a specific time comes, <S835> the dispatching information corresponding to the time is displayed on the screen (S840).

For example, if a group called "Onsen Mountain Club" confirmed that the meeting plan to start from Asan City Hall to Jirisan Natural Recreation Forest at 09:30 am on 2014.08.01, bus signboard 225 will start from 09:00 on 2014.08.01, (09:30), and destination (Jirisan recreational forest). Through this information, travelers who can use different buses during a day can see at a glance which bus to take when they are on the bus, through information on the bus signboard 225.

As described in detail above, according to the call bus operating system 100 and the call bus operating method capable of interval-based dispatching according to the present invention, the following effects can be expected.

First, in the call bus operating system 100, bus information including a schedule of operations is maintained in a database, and when application information including a desired schedule is received from the applicant terminal 210, By establishing and contracting, different buses can be dispatched for different sections, so that the tolerance of buses can be significantly lowered. In other words, for an applicant who wishes to use a chartered bus that can be used only in a specific section, it is not necessary to pay the price for the allowance condition, so that the cost of using a chartered bus can be lowered. The more you can drive, the more profitable you will have.

Particularly, the dispatch plan establishing unit 130 of the call bus operating system 100 calculates a scheduled travel time from a specific point to a next point in the application information, extracts the next point arrival date, The bus schedule is set in such a manner that a bus scheduled to arrive at a position adjacent to the specific point is distributed prior to a certain time from the departure date at a specific point while the schedule for the arrival to the point of arrival at the point is vacant, It is possible to establish a dispatch plan that accurately matches the application information without having to confirm the operation information. In other words, it is impossible to request the dispatch of a specific bus without considering the convenience of the user while ignoring the travel plan previously set up by the user, and to set up an optimal dispatch plan considering the entire bus schedule through the above- Therefore, it is possible to minimize the tolerance condition by increasing the circulation rate of the buses.

In addition, after a dedicated application for service use is installed in the applicant terminal 210 and the article terminal 215, application information can be inputted through a dedicated application or a dispatch plan can be conveniently checked, The applicant terminal 210 and the news terminal 215 can be informed by pushing, so that the travel schedule can be extinguished safely. In other words, in the present invention, since one bus does not exhaust all of the travel schedule of one team, the applicant may be confused as to which bus to use at which time, Confusion can arise whether you need to burn it or not, and you can be confused by the help of the push feature and the confirmation of the dispatch plan through a dedicated application.

The bus display board 225 installed on the front of the bus is interlocked with the article terminal 215 so that a dispatch plan stored in the article terminal 215 is automatically stored in the bus electric sign board 225. When the bus electric sign board 225 By automatically outputting the dispatch plan including self-name (meeting name) and departure time, travelers can be effectively boarded.

The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention has been presented for the purpose of illustration and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible within the spirit and scope of the invention, And additions should be considered as falling within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
