<Embodiment 1>
The system (facility UI distribution system for portable terminals) according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The first embodiment shows a basic configuration for an arbitrary facility 300 (a predetermined facility based on a contract) in the real world. In the second and subsequent embodiments, configurations applied to a specific facility 300 are shown.

[System configuration (1)]
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a system (facility UI distribution system for mobile terminals) according to the first embodiment. This system (facility UI distribution system for mobile terminals) has a configuration including a facility UI distribution device 100, a mobile terminal 200 of the user U, and a facility (facility and area) 300. This system (facility UI distribution apparatus 100) is installed in the facility 300 by the facility operator P, for example.

The mobile terminal 200 is an information processing terminal device having a common standard that is generally distributed, such as a smartphone or a tablet PC, owned by the user U.

The facility and area 300 is an arbitrary facility (predetermined facility based on a contract or the like) and an area (facility usable area) related thereto, and includes a facility operator (P) and facility equipment 310. The facility operator P is a person corresponding to the facility 300, for example, a person who is in the facility 300 and provides a service, or a person who is not in the facility 300 but manages the service of the facility 300 or the like. The facility device 310 is a device corresponding to the facility 300, and performs a specific service provision or mechanical operation.

The facility UI distribution device 100 includes an area determination unit 1, an SSW distribution unit (function addition unit) 2, a service providing unit (facility notification unit) 3, a communication unit 4, a management unit 5, an invalidation unit 6, and the like. . The communication unit 4 performs communication processing with the mobile terminal 200 and the facility 300 using a predetermined standard (for example, wireless, Web, etc.). Communication address information for the communication is set by the management unit 5. The management unit 5 stores and manages information such as association between facilities and areas, association between facilities (areas) and SSW (functions), SSW data (D0), and the like.

The area determination unit 1 determines whether the mobile terminal 200 of the user U is in (enters) the facility 300 (area) and does not (exit). The area determination unit 1 detects the ID (mobile terminal ID) and position of the mobile terminal 200, for example. When the area determination unit 1 determines and detects that the mobile terminal 200 of the user U is in the predetermined facility 300 (area), the SSW distribution unit (function addition unit) 2 sets the facility (area) 300 to the facility (area) 300. The associated SSW (D0) is distributed to the mobile terminal 200. In the mobile terminal 200 to which the SSW is distributed, the SSW 500 is executed, and a predetermined facility UI (function) 600 is configured (added). Note that a confirmation / approval operation by the user U may be interposed before the execution of the SSW 500. By executing SSW 500, for example, the corresponding GUI information is displayed on the screen of the touch display of the mobile terminal 200. The user U can perform a predetermined operation corresponding to a predetermined function in the facility UI 600 (for example, a touch input operation of a button requesting a predetermined facility service). When the user U performs a predetermined operation on the facility UI 600, processing is performed in the SSW 500 according to the operation, and communication from the SSW 500 to the service providing unit 3 is performed, and information such as a service request corresponding to the operation / processing is transmitted. Is done.

The service providing unit 3 receives at least one of the information such as the received service request and the information generated from the system (the service providing unit 3) corresponding to the information, such as the request to the facility 300. The facility 300 (facility operator P or facility device 310) is notified. The facility operator P or the facility equipment 310 that has received the notification can recognize that there is a service request from the user U (mobile terminal 200), and provides the requested service to the user U. be able to.

Further, the service providing unit 3 that has received the service request or the like transmits a response to the service request or the like to the SSW 500 of the mobile terminal 200. The response is, for example, information indicating that the service request has been received and notified to the facility 300. The SSW 500 of the portable terminal 200 may output (display) the response result to the facility UI 600. When there is a response from the facility 300 side to the present system (service providing unit 3) in response to the notification, the response may be transmitted to the SSW 500 of the mobile terminal 200 and output to the facility UI 600.

The notification destination (facility operator P, facility equipment 310) when notifying the facility 300 from the service providing unit 3 can be set by the management unit 5. One or more specific facility operators P may be notified, one or more specific facility equipment 310 may be notified, or both of them may be notified simultaneously. When notifying the facility operator P, for example, it may be notified to a portable terminal possessed by the facility operator P, etc., or information display output or voice output may be performed through another device in the facility. When notifying the facility device 310, the facility device 310 may be directly connected to the facility device 310 to transmit the notification information. The facility device 310 may be configured to automatically execute a predetermined process (a process corresponding to a service provided by the facility) when the notification information is received. For example, if the request is for a restaurant order, an order reception process is performed.

When the mobile terminal 200 of the user U to which the function (facility UI 600) by the SSW 500 is added comes out of the facility 300 (area), the area determination unit 1 confirms that the mobile terminal 200 is not in the area. ) Is detected and detected. In this case, in this system, the invalidation unit 6 invalidates the function (facility UI 600) by the SSW 500 of the portable terminal 200. In other words, in the present system, the function (facility UI 600) is invalidated outside the area by performing control to validate the operation of the SSW 500 in the portable terminal 200 only within a predetermined area. .

The invalidation means by the invalidation unit 6 may be, for example, deletion or uninstallation of the SSW 500 temporarily stored in the portable terminal 200, or the SSW data in the portable terminal 200 may be left as it is. It may be invalidated by setting usage authority or expiration date. Existing program validation / invalidation techniques may be applied.

In addition, the management unit 5 not only sets an area corresponding to the facility 300 (its space area), but also circles up to a predetermined distance around the center of some device in the facility 300 (for example, a certain facility device 310). Such a range may be set as an area.

The mobile terminal ID may be exchanged with the RFID reader 14 (area management apparatus 10) or the facility device 310 linked to the RFID reader 14 (short-range wireless communication) simultaneously with the payment processing using the card. . The facility device 310 is a device having, for example, bus operation information / fare display and a fare payment acceptance function.

When a bus passenger performs an input operation on the facility UI 600A of the mobile terminal 200 (for example, touching the get-off button (902) in FIG. 9), the SSW 500 makes a corresponding request (get-off) to the service providing device 30 (33). Request). When the service providing device 30 (34) receives the request, the service providing device 30 (34) notifies the crew member (P) in the bus or the facility equipment 310 that there is a bus passenger who intends to get off.

In the present embodiment, the SSW distributes information such as the getting-off state to a plurality of passengers in the bus as a service corresponding to the characteristics of the bus getting-on / off system. That is, when the service providing device 30 receives a request (intention to get off) from the SSW 500A of a certain passenger's mobile terminal 200, the service providing device 30 accepts and receives the request (ie, there is a stop / get off at the next bus stop). The information shown is notified to the SSW 500A of all the mobile terminals 200 existing in the bus, and the corresponding information is displayed on the facility UI 600A.

Also, the use key (D2) is required for using the SSW 500 (bus UI 600A) in the portable terminal 200. The portable terminal 200 that does not have a valid usage key (D2) cannot configure the bus UI 600A or cannot send a valid request to the service providing apparatus 30. When the portable terminal 200 is in the bus (area), the usage key (D2) is automatically distributed, for example, at regular intervals, but the usage key (D2) expires after a certain period of time. By controlling the activation / invalidation using the use key (D2), the passenger who gets off the bus (the user's U mobile terminal 200 that gets out of the area) sends a request to the bus that has already got off the bus. This can be prevented.

When the processing starts, the SSW distribution device 20 receives (S701) ID list information (list of terminal IDs in the area) from the area management device 10. (S702) If the list received in S701 includes one or more terminal IDs (S702), the SSW distribution device 20 (S702-Y), (S703) a terminal that has not yet communicated from the list One ID is selected and communication is performed with respect to the mobile terminal 200 corresponding to the terminal ID. When the mobile terminal 200 communicated in S703 does not have an SSW (when an SSW is not yet distributed) (S704-N), (S705) the SSW distribution device 20 (SSW distribution unit 25) The SSW data (D1) in the SSW storage unit 23 is distributed. (S706) After S705, the SSW distribution device 20 distributes the usage key (D2) for making the SSW (D1) of S705 available for a certain period to the portable terminal 200. Also, when the SSW has already been distributed in S704, the corresponding usage key is distributed in S705 (that is, the available state is continued / extended).

(S707) When there is a terminal ID that has not yet communicated in the list received in S701 (S707-Y), the SSW distribution apparatus 20 returns to the process of communicating with the mobile terminal 200 (S703). Similarly, when processing is repeated and communication is made with the mobile terminals 200 of all terminal IDs included in the list (S707-N), (S708) whether the SSW distribution device 20 has communicated with the mobile terminals 200 in the list. Reset the status. After S708, or when the terminal ID is 0 in S702 (S709), the SSW distribution device 20 determines whether or not to end the process. If the process is not ended, the process waits in S710 and the first process ( Return to S701).

Further, the present invention is not limited to the bus and can be applied to other vehicles in the same manner.

<Embodiment 3>
Next, a system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[System configuration]
FIG. 10 shows a system configuration of the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the target facility 300B is applied to a floor movement management system in a building (office building). In particular, this is a case where an elevator operation system 331 and a door opening / closing system 332 are included as a floor movement management system in a building (corresponding to the facility equipment 310). The elevator operation system 311 manages the operation of the elevator for moving between floors. The door opening / closing system 312 manages opening / closing of each door on each floor. Although not shown, it is assumed that there is a building manager or the like as the facility operator P described above. The facility available area is in the building. In particular, the area includes a first area (R11) including the periphery of the elevator managed by the elevator operation system 331, and a second area including the periphery of each door of each floor managed by the door opening / closing system 332. (R12).

All of the facility UI distribution apparatuses 100 (10, 20, 30) are installed in the facility 300B (building), for example. In this system (facility UI distribution device 100), an appropriate SSW is distributed according to the position (area) of a user U (building user) in the building. Thus, the facility UI 600B (building UI) corresponding to the SSW is configured, and the user U is effectively assisted in moving in the building. When the user U is in the first area R11, the first SSW (SSW1) is distributed, and when the user U is in the second area R12, the second SSW (SSW2) is distributed. The facility UI 600B configured by the first SSW is a GUI that enables operation of the elevator operation system 311 in the first area R11. The facility UI 600B configured by the second SSW is a GUI that enables operation of the door opening / closing system 312 in the second area R12.

Each SSW (SSW1, SSW2) is managed in the SSW storage unit 23 of the SSW distribution device 20. In the present embodiment, each SSW is distributed according to the position (area) of the user U. However, as a simpler form, the first and second users U enter the building. The SSW may be distributed together. Alternatively, the distribution source SSW may be integrated into one, and the GUI corresponding to the position (area) of the user U at that time may be configured by executing the SSW on the mobile terminal 200. Of course, a system corresponding to only one of the elevator operation system 311 and the door opening / closing system 312 may be used.

The configuration of areas (R11, R12) in the building is set in this system (the management unit 5). The SSW distribution apparatus 20 stores and manages SSW data created by a building administrator or the like in the SSW storage unit 23. In the third embodiment, data of SSW (SSW1, SSW2) corresponding to the areas (R11, R12) is managed.

The area management device 10 includes an in-area terminal determination unit 16. The mobile terminal 200 of the user U has an in-building positioning unit 430. The in-building positioning unit 430 is a positioning function that performs a process of measuring (positioning) the position of the mobile terminal 200 in the building. The positioning function of the in-building positioning unit 430 may be realized in cooperation with the building system, or may have a corresponding positioning function on the building (facility 300B) side instead of the mobile terminal 200 side.

The in-building positioning unit 430 on the mobile terminal 200 side notifies the in-area terminal determination unit 16 of the area management device 10 of information including the position information of the mobile terminal 200 in the building and the terminal ID similar to the above ( Operation B1). The in-area terminal determination unit 16 determines whether the position of the mobile terminal 200 falls within a predetermined area (R11, R12) using the notification information of B1. As a result of this determination, the terminal SW (list) of the mobile terminal 200 in the area is notified to the SSW distribution device 20 as described above. In Embodiment 3, since there are a plurality of areas (R11, R12), information indicating which area is also notified.

Based on information such as the terminal ID and the area from the area management device 10, the SSW distribution device 20 gives an appropriate SSW corresponding to the area where the mobile terminal 200 is located to the mobile terminal 200 having the terminal ID. Distribution is performed similarly (operation B2). The portable terminal 200 temporarily stores the distributed SSW and executes (500B), thereby configuring a facility UI 600B corresponding to the SSW 500B.

The first SSW constitutes a first GUI for operating the elevator operation system 331 (elevator operation). FIG. 11 shows a screen example of the first GUI. The second SSW constitutes a second GUI for operating the door opening / closing system 332 (door opening / closing). FIG. 12 shows a screen example of the second GUI.

When there is an input operation by the user U on the facility UI 600B (screen), the SSW 500B transmits a corresponding request to the service providing apparatus 30 as described above (operation B3). Then, the service providing apparatus 30 notifies the facility 300B (311, 312) of information according to the content of the request from the SSW 500B (operation B4). For example, in the case of a request from the first SSW (for example, floor number and opening / closing information), the elevator operation system 311 is notified of the information (corresponding control command). For example, in the case of a request from the second SSW (for example, a password for opening / closing a door and unlocking information), the door opening / closing system 312 is notified of the information (a corresponding control command). Each system (311, 312) operates according to the notified information. Thereby, the user U can move by an elevator or pass through a door.

[UI example]
FIG. 11 shows a first GUI (screen) by the first SSW of the mobile terminal 200. This screen 1401 displays buttons (e.g. floor buttons 1402, open / close 1403) for operating the elevator. The first SSW issues a request corresponding to the button operation.

FIG. 12 shows a second GUI (screen) by the second SSW of the mobile terminal 200. This screen 1501 displays buttons (such as a password input button 1502, an unlock button 1503) for operating the door. The second SSW issues a request corresponding to the button operation.

[Example]
A processing example of the facility UI distribution device 100 (10, 20, 30) in the third embodiment is as follows.

The area management device 10 first starts accepting communication from the mobile terminal 200. When the area management apparatus 10 receives the position information and the terminal ID transmitted from the in-building positioning unit 430 of the mobile terminal 200, if the position based on the position information is within the first area R11, the area management apparatus 10 It memorize | stores in ID list (D3) as a 1st area terminal. Similarly, when the position based on the position information is in the second area R12, the terminal ID is stored in the ID list (D3) as the second area terminal. If it is not in any area, the area management device 10 deletes the received terminal ID from the list. Next, the area management apparatus 10 notifies the SSW distribution apparatus 20 of information such as the terminal ID and area in the ID list (D3). If the process is not interrupted at this point, the area management apparatus 10 returns to the initial process.

The SSW distribution device 20 first receives information such as the terminal ID and area in the area from the area management device 10. When there is a terminal in the first area, the SSW distribution device 20 distributes the first SSW (SSW1) to the mobile terminal 200. When there is a terminal in the second area, the SSW distribution device 20 distributes the second SSW (SSW2) to the mobile terminal 200. If the process is not terminated here, the SSW distribution device 20 returns to the initial process.

First, the service providing apparatus 30 starts accepting communication from the SSW (SSW1, SSW2) distributed to the mobile terminal 200. When there is a request from the first SSW (SSW1), the service providing apparatus 30 notifies the elevator operation system 311 of information (control command) corresponding to the request, and the first SSW of the mobile terminal 200 is notified. Then, a response such as acceptance of the request is transmitted. When there is a request from the second SSW (SSW2), the service providing apparatus 30 notifies the door opening / closing system 312 of information (control command) corresponding to the request, and the second SSW of the portable terminal 200 is notified. In response, a response such as acceptance of the request is notified. If the process is not terminated here, the service providing apparatus 30 returns to the initial state.

It should be noted that, as described above, not only the GUI (function) that enables the movement operation in the building is provided, but the function of guidance in the building can be similarly realized. Moreover, it is applicable not only to a building but to other buildings similarly.

<Embodiment 4>
Next, a system according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[System configuration]
FIG. 13 shows a system configuration of the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the target facility 300C is applied to a store such as a restaurant and its order system. This store ordering system uses this system (facility UI distribution device 100) to distribute a program (SSW) that enables an ordering service or the like to a store user U (mobile terminal 200). The store has an order system 340 (corresponding to the facility equipment 310). It also has a facility operator P and a store clerk. In the fourth embodiment, there are a plurality of stores that are the target facility 300C. A plurality of stores are identified by T1, T2, and the like. In the fourth embodiment, the SSW corresponding to the store is distributed. For example, a first SSW (SSW1) for the first store T1, a second SSW (SSW2) for the second store T2, and the like are included.

In the fourth embodiment, the facility UI distribution device 100 is provided corresponding to each facility 300C (store). For example, the facility UI distribution device 100 (10, 20, 30) is installed in each facility 300C (store). The facility UI distribution apparatus 100 may be integrated into one. In that case, for example, the service providing device 30 is installed for each facility 300C (store), and the area management device 10 and the SSW distribution device 20 are unified into one, for example, on a communication network.

The mobile terminal 200 of the user U (store user) has a GPS processing unit 440. The GPS processing unit 440 is a positioning function that performs positioning of the mobile terminal 200 using a known GPS. In this system, the area management apparatus 10 has an in-store terminal determination unit 17. The in-store terminal determination unit 17 acquires position information and a terminal ID from the GPS processing unit 440 of the mobile terminal 200 (operation C1). The in-store terminal determination unit 17 determines which store among the plurality of stores the user U (mobile terminal 200) is based on the position information of the user U (mobile terminal 200) by GPS. Then, the SSW distribution device 20 selects the SSW to be distributed from the SSW prepared for each store according to the position information (the store where the user U is located), and distributes the selected SSW to the mobile terminal 200 (operation C2).

The facility UI (store UI) 600C corresponding to the SSW 500C is configured by the execution (C) of the SSW on the mobile terminal 200. That is, a GUI including a store clerk call button or a food order button corresponding to the store is displayed. This effectively assists the store user (U) in using the store. 14 and 15 show a configuration example of the store UI 600C of the mobile terminal 200. FIG. SSW created in advance by a store (facility 300C) or the like is registered in the SSW distribution device 20. The functions of the SSW that can be registered are not particularly limited, and as shown in the GUI screen examples (FIGS. 14 and 15), the store clerk calling function and the food order function can be freely set as required by the store. . Each registered SSW (eg, SSW1, SSW2) is related to the service providing device 30 for each individual store.

The SSW 500C of the portable terminal 200 issues a predetermined request to the corresponding service providing apparatus 30 based on the operation at the facility UI 600C (operation C3), and further provides information from the service providing apparatus 30 to the corresponding order system 340. Is notified (operation C4). As a result, the user U can call and order the clerk.

FIG. 14 shows a case of the salesclerk call function as an example of the first GUI (screen). This screen 2101 has a store clerk call button 2102. When the user U presses the clerk call button 2102, the SSW 500 </ b> C issues a request corresponding to the operation. Then, the information is transmitted to the store clerk (P) or the order system 340 through this system.

FIG. 15 shows a case of an order function as an example of the second GUI (screen). This screen 2201 has an order button 2202 for each food item in the menu. When the user U presses a desired order button 2202, the SSW 500C issues a request corresponding to the operation. Then, it is transmitted to the store clerk (P) or order system 340 through this system.

[Example]
A processing example of the facility UI distribution device 100 (10, 20, 30) in the fourth embodiment is as follows. The case where the first store T1 has the first service providing device 30 and the second store T2 has the second service providing device 30 will be described.

The area management device 10 first starts accepting communication from the mobile terminal 200. When the area management apparatus 10 receives the position information by GPS and the terminal ID transmitted from the mobile terminal 200, if the received position information is inside the first store T1 (the corresponding first area), The terminal ID is stored in the list (D3) as the first in-store terminal. When the position information is inside the second store T2 (corresponding first area), the terminal ID is stored in the list (D3) as the second in-store terminal. When the received location information is not in any store, the area management device 10 deletes the terminal ID from the list (D3). Next, the area management apparatus 10 notifies the SSW distribution apparatus 20 of information such as the terminal ID and the store in the list (D3). If the process is not interrupted at this point, the area management apparatus 10 returns to the initial process.

The SSW distribution device 20 first receives information such as the terminal ID in the store and the store from the area management device 20. For example, when the mobile terminal 200 is in the first store (T1), the SSW distribution device 20 distributes the first SSW (SSW1) to the mobile terminal 200. Similarly, when the mobile terminal 200 is in the second store T2, the second SSW (SSW2) is distributed. If the process is not terminated here, the SSW distribution device 20 returns to the initial process.

The first service providing device 30 of the first store T1 first starts accepting communication from the first SSW distributed to the mobile terminal 200. When there is a request from the first SSW based on the operation of the user U, the first service providing device 30 sends the request to the operator (P) and the ordering system 340 in the first store T1. Information corresponding to the request is notified, and a request acceptance or the like is returned to the first SSW of the mobile terminal 200. If the process is not terminated here, the first service providing apparatus 30 returns to the initial process. The same applies to the processing of the second service providing device 30 of the second store T2.

In addition, it is good also as a structure which integrated the service provision apparatus 30 and the order system 340 in a store. In addition, as described above, not only the store clerk calling and ordering functions, but also a store guide, a function of paying for products, services, and the like of the store can be similarly realized.

<Effects>
As described above, according to each embodiment, a service for using the facility 300 or the like is provided by using the mobile terminal 200 (its UI) of the user U in various facilities 300 or the like. can do. In particular, since the mobile terminals 200 that are generally available can be used, there is no need to introduce / maintain a dedicated device for the facility 300 side, and the introduction / maintenance operation cost can be suppressed, and a low-cost system can be realized. . By providing the service, the added value of the facility 300 can be increased. As a result, it is possible to expand the scenes (targets) where the service can be provided and used, including facilities that could not provide the service due to cost and the like, and to realize convenience on the user U side. By providing a user-friendly GUI that is easy to understand and operate for the user with the mobile terminal 200, the user can easily use the facility 300.

Furthermore, the UI of the mobile terminal 200 can be made to play the role of a device such as an input / output device (button, lever, touch panel, etc.) that should originally be installed in the facility 300 (for example, the facility device 310). Therefore, the input / output device (facility equipment 310) can be reduced, and the equipment space in the facility 300 can be reduced. In addition, restrictions on design in the facility 300 can be relaxed to increase design freedom. Further, compared with a conventional method in which a facility operator prepares a dedicated mobile terminal and distributes (lends) it to the facility user, it is possible to omit inventory management of the mobile terminal and countermeasures against theft by the facility operator.

Furthermore, in this system, it is possible to easily add / change / adjust the contents of the service (corresponding UI / function). In this case, only the SSW (distribution source) of the SSW distribution apparatus 20 is used. What is necessary is just to update, and the operation | work etc. which update the program of all the portable terminals 200 etc. can be skipped. The facility operator P who introduces this system can differentiate from other facilities by the contents (function and design) of the SSW, and can increase the added value of the facility 300.

As mentioned above, the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described based on the embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Needless to say. For example, the UI configured and provided by the SSW in this system is not limited to a GUI (visual interface), and other means such as an audio interface may be used in combination.

The present invention can be used in various facilities in the real world. For example, it can be used for vehicles such as buses and trains, buildings such as office buildings, public facilities, and private stores.
