These devices and terminals are communicably connected to each other via the communication network 40. Although the information transmitted and received by each of these devices and each terminal is also illustrated in the drawing, these pieces of information are merely examples. In the present embodiment, information other than that illustrated may be transmitted and received.

The in-vehicle navigation device 10 has a function of measuring the position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 (that is, the position information of the vehicle 50a). The position information determined by the in-vehicle navigation device 10 is appropriately transmitted to the facility recommendation server system 30. The on-vehicle navigation device 10 also has a function of displaying recommended facility information, providing route guidance (car navigation), and the like to the user who has got on the vehicle 50a. The on-vehicle navigation device 10 displays recommended facility information and provides route guidance from a current position to a destination based on the user's request.
The in-vehicle navigation device 10 can be realized by a car navigation device installed in a vehicle 50a which is a moving body, or a portable PND (Portable Navigation Device) which is simply installed in the vehicle 50a which is a moving body.

The portable terminal 20 is a portable terminal used by a user who gets on the vehicle 50b. The mobile terminal 20 has a function of measuring the position information of the mobile terminal 20 (that is, the position information of the vehicle 50b), as in the case of the on-vehicle navigation device 10 described above. The position information measured by the mobile terminal 20 is appropriately transmitted to the facility recommendation server system 30 as the position information measured by the in-vehicle navigation device 10.
The mobile terminal 20 can be realized by a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a notebook computer, or another portable electronic device.

In the drawing, although the set of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the vehicle 50a and the set of the portable terminal 20 and the vehicle 50b are illustrated, there is no particular limitation on the number of sets. Further, in the following description, when calling without distinction the vehicle 50a on which the in-vehicle navigation device 10 is mounted and the vehicle 50b on which the user using the portable terminal 20 gets, the alphabet at the end is simply omitted It is called "vehicle 50".

The facility recommendation server system 30 extracts facilities that are popular (probable for popularity) by local people as processing specific to this embodiment, and sets them as predetermined facilities (for example, medical and / or medicine) which are set in advance. This is an apparatus for creating recommended facility information by excluding facility information corresponding to an organization to be engaged, a chain store having a plurality of stores, a franchise store, etc.).
Here, as predetermined facilities set in advance, an organization engaged in medical care and / or medicine, a chain store having a plurality of stores, a franchise store, etc. may be mentioned. Specifically, for example, a convenience store, a family restaurant, a restaurant in a chain or franchise-type variety of Japanese-style and Western-style restaurants, a SPA for manufacturing clothing (a retail retailer), a mall, etc. may be mentioned. In addition, as a predetermined facility set in advance, the facility described in the area magazine guiding the facility information of all parts of the country or the facility introduced to the site for tourists guiding the facility information of all parts of the whole country may be included.

Further, the map information 121 additionally includes display map data for displaying a background such as a road and a road map, position information of nodes (for example, intersections of roads, bending points, end points, etc.) and type information thereof It includes road network data including link position data and type information of links, which are routes connecting between nodes, and link cost data on cost information (for example, distance, required time, etc.) of all links.

As road information, information on so-called road maps such as road types and traffic lights is stored.
As facility position information, position information of each facility is stored as information of latitude and longitude. In addition, as facility location information, facility identification information (facility ID), name, facility type (and / or genre), telephone number, address, business hours, menus provided if the facility is a restaurant, product service etc. Incidental information such as facility information may be included.
As parking lot information, position information of the parking lot is stored as latitude and longitude information. When a parking lot is a parking lot of each facility, the facility and the parking lot are linked and stored.

The position information 122 is the position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 (that is, the position information of the vehicle 50a) measured by the sensor unit 14 described later. The position information 122 may include not only the information indicating the measured position but also the positioning time that is the time when the positioning was performed.

The identification information 123 is information for identifying the in-vehicle navigation device 10. As the identification information 123, for example, a serial number or the like uniquely assigned to the in-vehicle navigation device 10 can be used. In addition, in order to connect the communication unit 13 to the communication network 40 which is a network such as a mobile telephone network, the telephone number assigned to the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) inserted in the communication unit 13 is identified information 123 It can be used as In addition, the VIN (vehicle identification number) uniquely assigned to the vehicle 50a and the number of the license plate can be used as the identification information 123.

The respective information stored in the storage unit 12 may be configured to be stored in advance in the storage unit 12 or the facility recommendation server system 30 connected to the communication network 40 or another server device (shown in FIG. It may be configured to be downloaded appropriately as needed, etc.). Furthermore, it may be appropriately corrected according to the user's input or the like.

The communication unit 13 has a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and the like, and communicates via the communication network 40 in accordance with standards such as 3G (3rd Generation), LTE (Long Term Evolution) and Wi-Fi (registered trademark). The wireless communication with other devices (for example, the facility recommendation server system 30) via the network 40 is realized. The communication unit 13 is used, for example, for the position information transmission unit 112 described later to transmit the position information 122 and the identification information 123 stored in the storage unit 12 to the facility recommendation server system 30. However, there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the data transmitted / received between the communication part 13 and another apparatus, Information other than the positional information 122 and the identification information 123 may be transmitted / received.

The sensor unit 14 is configured of, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, and the like. The sensor unit 14 has a function as position detection means for detecting position information, receives a GPS satellite signal by a GPS sensor, and measures the position information (latitude and longitude) of the in-vehicle navigation device 10. The positioning by the sensor unit 14 is performed at a predetermined time interval (for example, an interval of 3 seconds) as described above. The position information that has been measured is stored in the storage unit 12 as position information 122. The position information may include time information at which the position information was measured. By doing so, it becomes possible to calculate when and where the vehicle 50 was located.
The sensor unit 14 can further enhance the positioning accuracy of the position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 based on the angular velocity measured by the gyro sensor or the acceleration sensor, or the acceleration.
Further, when GPS communication becomes difficult or impossible, the sensor unit 14 uses Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) communication, and the position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 according to the base station information acquired from the communication unit 13 It is also possible to calculate

The display unit 15 is configured of a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic electroluminescence panel. The display unit 15 receives an instruction from the control unit 11 and displays an image. The information displayed by the display unit 15 includes, for example, the current position of the in-vehicle navigation device 10, the map information around the current position of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 read from the map information 121, the destination set by the user, and the like Meeting information notified from the in-vehicle navigation device 10, recommended facility information provided from the facility recommendation server system 30, route information with the recommended facility information as a destination, various user interfaces, and the like can be mentioned.

The input unit 16 is configured by a physical switch called a ten key or an input device (not shown) such as a touch panel provided overlapping on the display surface of the display unit 15 or the like. By outputting to the control unit 11 an operation input from the input unit 16, for example, pressing of a ten key by the user, or a signal based on a touch of the touch panel, an operation such as selection operation by the user or enlargement / reduction of a map can be realized. it can.

In addition to this, although not shown, the in-vehicle navigation device 10 can also be provided with a speaker, a microphone, and the like. The speaker outputs a sound to the driver, and the microphone collects sound and the like emitted by the driver.
By doing so, it is also possible to output information as voice from a speaker, or to input various selections and instructions by the driver voice-inputted via a microphone to the control unit 11 by voice recognition technology.

Next, details of the control unit 11 will be described. The control unit 11 is configured by a microprocessor having a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), and an input / output (I / O). The CPU executes each program read from the ROM or the storage unit 12, reads the information from the RAM, the ROM, and the storage unit 12 at the time of execution, and writes the information to the RAM and the storage unit 12. It exchanges signals with the communication unit 13, the sensor unit 14, the display unit 15, and the input unit 16. And, in this way, the processing in the present embodiment is realized by the hardware and software (program) working together.

The control unit 11 includes, as functional blocks, a route guidance unit 111, a position information transmission unit 112, and a recommended facility information request unit 113.

The route guidance unit 111 is a part that performs route guidance processing to a destination, such as a facility, which has been input or selected by the user.
The route guidance processing to the destination is equivalent to the route guidance processing in a general car navigation system. That is, the route guidance unit 111 generates a map to the destination based on the map information 121 stored in the storage unit 12, and the current position of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 positioned by the sensor unit 14 on this map. By overlapping the position of the destination and the route information to the destination and displaying the same on the display unit 15, route guidance can be performed.
In addition, the route guidance part 111 can utilize the route information which makes the destination the recommended facility provided from the facility recommendation server system 30 as route information for route guidance.

Furthermore, in this case, a voice for route guidance may be output from a speaker (not shown). Further, information on congestion of roads, information on weather, and the like may be acquired by communication by the communication unit 13, and the acquired information may be used for route guidance processing. For example, a road condition (for example, a traffic congestion condition) acquired from VICS (registered trademark) (Vehicle Information Communication System) or the like via the communication unit 13 may be used for route guidance processing. The route guidance processing to the destination is well known to those skilled in the art, and thus the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The position information transmission unit 112 is a portion that transmits the position information 122 and the identification information 123 stored in the storage unit 12 to the facility recommendation server system 30 by wireless communication using the communication unit 13.
Transmission of the position information 122 and the identification information 123 to the facility recommendation server system 30 by the position information transmission unit 112 is performed by the user who got on the vehicle 50a by turning on the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a (starting the engine). Is automatically performed, and is periodically performed until the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a is turned off (the engine is stopped). For example, each time the sensor unit 14 performs positioning at a predetermined time interval (for example, an interval of 3 seconds), transmission is performed in real time.

Also, instead of transmitting the information to the facility recommendation server system 30 in real time, a plurality of them (for example, the position information 122 and the identification information 123 updated at an interval of 3 seconds in 3 minutes) are collected at once You may make it transmit. That is, so-called burst transmission may be performed. The length of the predetermined time interval, and whether to transmit in real time or to perform burst transmission can be arbitrarily set according to the environment to which the present embodiment is applied.
Thus, by performing real-time transmission and burst transmission, the position information transmission unit 112 can use the position information 122 for identifying the movement route of the vehicle 50a measured by the sensor unit 14 and the identification information 123 as a facility. Send to the recommended server system 30.

In this case, the ignition switch is turned on (the engine is started), and the position specified by the position information 122 located immediately after the on-board navigation device 10 is automatically started is the first vehicle position, that is, the facility recommendation server It can be sent to the system 30. Furthermore, the position specified by the position information 122 located immediately before the ignition switch is turned off (engine stop) can be transmitted to the facility recommendation server system 30 as the final vehicle position, that is, the parking position.
In this case, after adding start information indicating that it is the position information 122 indicating the departure position and stop information indicating that it is the position information 122 indicating the parking position to the position information 122, the facility recommendation server system 30 You may make it transmit. For example, a flag indicating that it is start information may be set to 1 for transmission, or a flag indicating that it is stop information may be set to 1 for transmission. When the ignition switch is turned on (the engine is started) for the position information 122 (that is, the parking position) located immediately before the ignition switch is turned off (the engine is stopped), the in-vehicle navigation device 10 is restarted. May be sent to

Further, even in the case of performing burst transmission, when the route guidance unit 111 determines that the vehicle 50a has arrived at a destination (for example, a certain facility), the position information transmission unit 112 transmits in real time You should switch as you do. In this way, after arriving at a certain facility, the ignition switch is turned off (engine is stopped) before the location information 122 of the parking position is transmitted, and the location information 122 of the destination such as the facility is recommended It is possible to prevent the situation where the message is not sent to the server system 30.

The recommended facility information request unit 113 is a part that requests, from the facility recommendation server system 30, recommended facility information located near the current position, for example, for use in route guidance by the route guidance unit 111. Then, the recommended facility information request unit 113 outputs the recommended facility information returned from the facility recommendation server system 30 in response to the request to the display unit 15 and / or the route guidance unit 111. By doing so, the route guidance unit 111 can perform route guidance with the recommended facility input from the recommended facility information request unit 113 as the destination.

FIGS. 8A to 8C show examples of screens displayed on the in-vehicle navigation device 10 when the driver of the vehicle 50 or a user outside the area (for example, a tourist) who is a passenger uses the recommended facility information.
The recommended facility information request unit 113 displays, for example, an “information distribution start ON” button on the display unit 15 as illustrated in FIG. 8A. When the information distribution start is operated to ON by the touch operation of the button by the user, the recommended facility information request unit 113 transmits an information distribution start request to the facility recommendation server system 30 via the communication unit 13.
By doing so, as shown in FIG. 8B, the recommended facility information request unit 113 causes the display unit 15 to display a map around the current position of the vehicle 50 based on the recommended facility information distributed from the facility recommendation server system 30. Display the location of the recommended facility on. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8C, the recommended facility information request unit 113 causes the display unit 15 to display the recommended facility information in a scrollable manner by the user's screen switching operation or the like, thereby selecting a facility that the user wants to visit. It can be done.
The configuration of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 has been described above.

<Functional Block of Mobile Terminal 20>
Next, functional blocks included in the mobile terminal 20 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 3.
Here, although the on-vehicle navigation device 10 described above receives the supply of power from the vehicle 50a, the portable terminal 20 receives the supply of power from a battery (not shown) provided in itself. However, in order to charge the battery, the portable terminal 20 may receive power supply from a cigar socket or the like of the vehicle 50b.

As shown in FIG. 3, the portable terminal 20 includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, a communication unit 23, a sensor unit 24, a display unit 25, an input unit 26, and a short distance communication unit 27. It consists of

Have. That is, the word "vehicle navigation device 10" in the description of the vehicle navigation device 10 described above is replaced with "portable terminal 20", and the word "vehicle 50a" in the description of the vehicle navigation device 10 described above is "vehicle 50b". By replacing, each functional block of the portable terminal 20 will be described, and therefore, the redundant description will be omitted.

On the other hand, the portable terminal 20 is different from the in-vehicle navigation device 10 in that the portable terminal 20 includes the short distance communication unit 27 and the like, and thus the difference will be described below.
The short distance communication unit 27 performs non-contact short distance communication conforming to a standard such as NFC (Near Field Communication) or Bluetooth (registered trademark), or performs short distance communication by wire via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable or the like. It is part of.
On the other hand, the vehicle 50 b includes a short distance communication unit for communicating with the short distance communication unit 27. For example, an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) of the vehicle 50b includes a short distance communication unit.
Then, the case where the portable terminal 20 can communicate with the ECU by short-distance communication means that the portable terminal 20 exists in the vehicle 50b. In this case, the position information measured by the sensor unit 24 of the mobile terminal 20 corresponds to the position information of the vehicle 50b.

Therefore, while the portable terminal 20 can perform short distance communication with the ECU via the short distance communication unit 27, the position information transmission unit 212 is activated. Then, similarly to the position information transmission unit 112 of the in-vehicle navigation device 10, the position information transmission unit 212 that has been activated identifies the movement information of the vehicle 50b measured by the sensor unit 24 and the identification information 223. Are sent to the facility recommendation server system 30.

For example, when the user carries the portable terminal 20 and gets on the vehicle 50b and turns on the start switch of the vehicle 50b, such as an ignition switch, the vehicle 50b and the portable terminal 20 are connected (paired) and Positioned information 222 and identification information 223 are transmitted from portable terminal 20 to facility recommendation server system 30. In this case, the position specified by the position information 122 measured immediately after pairing of the vehicle 50b and the portable terminal 20 can be transmitted to the facility recommendation server system 30 as the first vehicle position, that is, the departure position.

Furthermore, when the start switch of the vehicle 50b such as an ignition switch is turned off, the pairing of the vehicle 50b and the portable terminal 20 is released. In this case, the position specified by the position information 122 positioned immediately before the cancellation can be transmitted to the facility recommendation server system 30 as the final vehicle position, that is, the parking position.
In this case, it may be transmitted in real time, may be transmitted in bursts, or may be switched to transmission in real time if it is determined that the vehicle has arrived at the parking position, or the departure position The point that it may add start information and stop information which show that it is a parking position, and a point which may transmit a parking position at the time of restart is also the same as position information transmitting part 112.

When the vehicle 50b has a function of positioning the position information, not the position information measured by the sensor unit 24 but the position information measured by the vehicle 50b is transmitted to the facility recommendation server system 30 as the position information 122. You may do it. In this case, the sensor unit 24 may be omitted from the portable terminal 20.
The configuration of the mobile terminal 20 has been described above.

<Functional Block of Facility Recommendation Server System 30>
Next, functional blocks included in the facility recommendation server system 30 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 4, the facility recommendation server system 30 includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, a communication unit 33, a display unit 34, and an input unit 35.

The control unit 31 is configured of an arithmetic processing unit such as a microprocessor and controls each unit constituting the unit 30. Details of the control unit 31 will be described later.

The storage unit 32 is composed of a semiconductor memory or the like, and stores various programs such as a program for control called firmware or operating system, a program for performing information analysis processing, and various other information such as map information. Be done. In the figure, as information stored in the storage unit 32, a location information database 321, map information 322, facility information 323, a local facility file 324, and a recommended facility, which are information related to recommended facility information creation processing by the facility recommendation server system 30. The candidate file 325 and the recommended facility file 326 are illustrated.

The position information database 321 is a database constructed based on the position information 122 and the position information 222 received from each of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20, and the identification information 123 and the identification information 223. The position information database 321 is constructed and updated by a position information database creation unit 311 described later. Details of the position information database 321 will be described later when the position information database creation unit 311 is described. In the following description, when the position information 122 and the position information 222 are described without distinction, the reference numerals are omitted and they are called "position information". Similarly, when the identification information 123 and the identification information 223 are described without distinction, the reference numerals are omitted and called “identification information”.

The map information 322 is the same information as the map information 121 and the map information 221 described above. Like the map information 121 and the map information 221, the map information 322 may be stored in advance, or may be stored in a server device (not shown) connected to the communication network 40 as needed. It may be configured to be downloaded. Furthermore, it may be appropriately corrected according to the user's input or the like.

The facility information 323 includes facility identification information (facility ID), name, facility type (and / or genre, category), telephone number, address, business hours, and the like. If the facility is a restaurant, incidental information such as a menu to be provided, facility information on commodity services, etc. may be included.
The facility information 323 is a facility described in the area magazine that guides facility information of various locations throughout the country, whether the facility is the facility of the chain or franchise system described above, the SPA of clothing, a mall, or the like. Alternatively, identification information (hereinafter also referred to as “excluded facility identification data”) may be included to indicate that the facility is a site introduced on a tourist site. Hereinafter, when the facility information includes excluded facility identification data, the facility is also referred to as “excluded facility”.
The facility information 323 may be stored in advance, or may be downloaded as appropriate from a server apparatus (not shown) connected to the communication network 40 as needed. Furthermore, it may be appropriately corrected according to the user's input or the like.
The local facility file 324, the recommended facility candidate file 325, and the recommended facility file 326 will be described in detail in the description of the control unit 31 described later.

The communication unit 33 has a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or the like, and conforms to a standard such as 3G (3rd Generation) LTE (Long Term Evolution) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark) via the communication network 40. 40 realizes wireless communication with other devices via 40. The communication unit 33 is used, for example, to receive position information and identification information transmitted from each of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20. In addition, the communication unit 33 is also used to transmit route information such as local route information to the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20, for example.
However, there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the data transmitted / received between the communication part 33 and another apparatus, You may make it transmit / receive information other than these information.

The display unit 34 is configured of a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic electroluminescence panel. The display unit 15 receives an instruction from the control unit 11 and displays an image. As information displayed by the display unit 15, for example, each information in the position information database read from the position information database 321, map information read from the map information 322, facility information such as recommended facility information, etc. , Various user interfaces and the like.

The input unit 35 is configured by an input device (not shown) such as a keyboard and a mouse. Based on the operation input from the input unit 16, for example, correction of the position information database 321 and the map information 322, and correction processing of facility information and the like can be performed. These operations are performed by, for example, a business operator managing the facility recommendation server system 30.

Next, details of the control unit 31 will be described. The control unit 31 is configured of a microprocessor having a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), and an input / output (I / O). The CPU executes each program read from the ROM or the storage unit 32, reads the information from the RAM, the ROM, and the storage unit 32 at the time of execution, and writes the information to the RAM and the storage unit 32, It exchanges signals with the communication unit 33, the display unit 34, and the input unit 35. And, in this way, the processing in the present embodiment is realized by the hardware and software (program) working together.

The control unit 31 includes, as functional blocks, a position information database creating unit 311, a local facility extracting unit 312, a recommended facility information creating unit 313, and a recommended facility information distributing unit 314.
The position information database creation unit 311 is a part that constructs the position information database 321 and creates and updates it as appropriate. An example of the data structure of the position information database 321 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the position information database 321 includes the “position information” and the “identification information” received from each of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20 as described above.
Further, the position information database 321 is a “visited facility”, “departure that is specified by the position information database creating unit 311 based on the“ position information ”received from each of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20 as described above. Position is included. The "departure position" includes a "departure position type" (not shown) described later.
Then, the position information database creation unit 311 constructs and updates the position information database 321 by storing information corresponding to each attribute in the field.

Here, “visited facility” in the position information database 321 is information for identifying a facility visited by the user by the vehicle 50. The position information database creation unit 311 identifies a visited facility from the position information received together with the identification information. For example, as described above, it is assumed that the position information includes information indicating a parking position. In this case, the parking position is compared with the position of each facility (and the position of the parking lot linked to the facility) included in the map information 322, and the identified parking position and the position of any facility (and the facility) It is determined that the user has visited the facility by the vehicle 50 when the position of the parking lot linked to the) matches.
Then, the identification information (facility ID) of the facility included in the map information 322 is stored in the field of the visiting facility in the position information database 321.

In addition, if the information indicating the parking position is not included in the position information, for example, the position corresponding to the last received position information or the position from the start to the end of the transmission of the position information It is also possible to identify a visiting facility by comparing it with the location of each facility (and the location of the parking lot linked to the facility), regarding the location that does not change with time as the parking location.
Furthermore, if the information indicating the parking position is not included in the position information, for example, the facility set as the destination in the route guidance can be specified as the visiting facility.

The degree of "coincidence" of the above-described parking position and the position of the facility may be determined arbitrarily. For example, when the in-vehicle navigation device 10 or the portable terminal 20 can measure the position information with high accuracy, the range determined to be coincident may be narrowed. On the other hand, when the in-vehicle navigation device 10 or the portable terminal 20 can not measure the position information with high accuracy, the range determined to be coincident may be widened. That is, even when the position is slightly shifted, it may be determined that they match.

In addition, “identification information” in the position information database 321 is information for identifying the in-vehicle navigation device 10 or the portable terminal 20 that is the transmission source of the position information as described above. That is, the information is information for identifying the vehicle 50 corresponding to the in-vehicle navigation device 10 or the portable terminal 20. The position information database creation unit 311 stores the identification information received together with the position information in the field.

Further, the "departure position" in the position information database 321 is the departure position in the moving route when visiting a visiting facility.
The position information database creation unit 311 specifies the departure position from the position information received together with the identification information. For example, as described above, if the position information includes information indicating a departure position, the departure position is specified by this information. Further, if the position information does not include information indicating the departure position, for example, the position corresponding to the position information received first before the transmission of the position information is started and ended is the departure position. It can also be considered that
The position information database creating unit 311 determines whether the departure position is the home position of the vehicle 50, whether the departure position is the rental car facility, or the departure position is included in the map information 322 based on the departure position specified in this way. , It can be specified whether it is a facility (and a parking lot tied to the facility) excluding the rental car facility.
Here, if the departure position is the position of the facility excluding the rental car facility (or the position of the parking lot linked to the facility), for example, the vehicle 50 temporarily stops at the facility or the facility It is possible that you stayed. In this case, the position information database creation unit 311 refers to the traveling information (position information) of the vehicle 50 corresponding to the identification information retroactively in time, to obtain the first departure position of the vehicle 50 corresponding to the identification information The position of the rental car facility or the position other than the facility) is specified, and recorded as a "departure position" in the position information database 321 as the departure position of the visited facility.
When the "departure position" specified as described above "coincides" with the position of the rental car facility, the position information database creation unit 311 sets the data indicating the car rental facility as the "departure position in the position information database 321. Store in "departure position type" included in "."
When the departure position does not correspond to the position of the rental car facility, the departure position may be determined as the home position of the vehicle 50. In this case, the position information database creating unit 311 stores data indicating that the user is at the home position in the “departing position type” included in the “departing position” in the position information database 321.
The position information database creation unit 311 may determine whether the user is at the home position by retroactively referring to the travel information corresponding to the identification information. For example, if the frequency at which the first departure position of each day in the past is the same position is high, the position information database creation unit 311 may determine that the departure position is a home position.

Also, “position information” in the position information database 321 is all of the position information that changes discretely in time from the departure position to the parking position in the moving route when visiting a visited facility. In the "position information" in the position information database 321, position information from the first departure position to the visiting facility is connected and stored. The position information database creation unit 311 stores, in the field, all the position information received between the start and the end of the transmission of the position information.

The position information database creation unit 311 newly transmits position information and identification information from any of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20 based on the received position information and identification information from when it is started until once it is ended. The position information database 321 is updated by storing the above-described information in the above fields.

Next, the local facility extraction unit 312 will be described. In the description, when referring to each field in the position information database 321, it is simply referred to as a visiting facility, identification information, departure position, position information, etc., and when referring to actual data stored in the field, for example, visiting facility D, identification information D, departure position D, position information D, and the like.

The local facility extraction unit 312 refers to the visited facility and the departure position of each record stored in the position information database 321, and indicates that the departure position D is the home position, and the visited facility D is the departure position D It is determined whether or not it exists within a first predetermined range set in advance.
If the departure position D is a home position and the visited facility D is within a first predetermined range from the departure position D, the local facility extraction unit 312 extracts the record as a local facility information record, and the storage unit 32 ( It is stored in the local facility file 324).

Here, the first predetermined range can be set to any size. For example, the range of the radius N [km] (N is an arbitrary positive value) centering on the departure position can be set as the first predetermined range. Further, instead of the radius, for example, a range in which the movement distance on the road from the departure position is N [km] can be set as the first predetermined range. In addition, for example, the first predetermined range may be determined based on the required travel time from the departure position. For example, the size of the first predetermined range may be set by a user who uses the facility recommendation server system 30.

When the departure position D of the record stored in the position information database 321 is the position of the car rental facility, the local facility extraction unit 312 does not extract it as the local facility information record.
In this way, it is possible to exclude information from the rental car and to increase the likelihood that local facilities frequently visited by local users will be extracted.

Next, the recommended facility information creation unit 313 will be described.
The recommended facility information creation unit 313 is a facility corresponding to a predetermined facility (hereinafter referred to as “excluded facility”) which is set in advance from the local facility information (local facility file 324) created by extraction by the local facility extraction unit 312. The recommended facility candidate file 325 is created excluding the information.
Here, as the excluded facilities, for example, the following facilities may be mentioned.
(1) Facilities related to daily life, such as institutions engaged in medical care and / or medicine, chain stores or franchise stores with multiple stores, SPA (manufacturing retail) of clothing with multiple stores, etc.
(2) The facilities listed in the area magazine that guided the facility information of various places across the country,
(3) Facilities introduced on the tourist site.

By excluding the facilities listed in (1), facilities that are unnecessary for users outside the region (for example, tourists) are recommended, even for local facilities that local users frequently visit on a daily basis. It is possible to improve the accuracy of the facility information recommended as a facility popular with the local people for users outside the region.
Similarly, by excluding the facilities listed in (2) and (3), local users (for example, tourists) do not recommend facilities that tourists have already visited. It is possible to increase the accuracy of recommending a facility that is not known otherwise, and to make the recommended facility information more valuable.

In addition, excluded facilities are not limited to these. Even if it is an institution which a local user often uses, an institution well-known to a user (a tourist) outside the area or an institution which a tourist does not need may be added appropriately.
Such determination as to whether or not the facility is an excluded facility can be performed, for example, based on the facility type (category etc.) stored in the facility information, but for example, as facility information, it is an excluded facility Identification information (hereinafter also referred to as “excluded facility identification data”) may be included. In addition, an excluded facility table (not shown) configured of facility IDs corresponding to excluded facilities may be provided in the storage unit 32.
By doing so, the administrator of the facility recommendation server system 30 can appropriately update the excluded facilities.

The recommended facility information creation unit 313 extracts records in a predetermined period from the recommended facility candidate file 325, and sorts the extracted records based on, for example, the identification information of the visited facility (facility ID) and the vehicle 50, It is possible to calculate the number of visits by visiting facility / visiting vehicle.
The recommended facility information creation unit 313 can evaluate the recommended facility, for example, as follows, based on the number of visits for each visited facility / visited vehicle.
(1) Evaluation by the number of vehicle visits by the total value of the number of vehicles 50 (when the same vehicle 50 visits a plurality of times, visits the visit facility in a given period) "),
(2) Weighted evaluation based on the total number of vehicles 5 (repeaters) who visited the visited facility within a predetermined period with a large number of repeats ("repeat _ evaluation"),
(3) Evaluation by the number of vehicle visits by the total value of the number of different vehicles 50 that visited the visited facility within a predetermined period (counted as one even when the same vehicle 50 visits multiple times) Number of visits _ evaluations).
In addition, the evaluation method at the time of selecting a recommendation institution is not limited to these. In addition to this, evaluation (“vehicle type _ evaluation”) based on the number of vehicle type visits obtained by counting the number of vehicles 50 that visited the visiting facility within a predetermined period for each vehicle type (or vehicle type name) Be
You may apply an evaluation method suitably according to the target person (user outside the area) made into the target which provides recommendation facility information.
As described above, the recommended facility information creation unit 313 selects the recommended facility information from the recommended facility candidate file 325 based on the evaluation as illustrated, by selecting the recommended facility based on the evaluation method set in advance. Create and store in storage unit 32 (recommended facility file 326).

Next, the recommended facility information distribution unit 314 will be described. The recommended facility information distribution unit 314 receives a request for recommended facility information from the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20. The request for the recommended facility information includes the identification information (vehicle ID) of the vehicle 50, the current position, the current time, and the like.
In response to the request for recommended facility information, the recommended facility information distribution unit 314 searches for the recommended facility file 326 to, for example, recommend the recommended facility related to the current position around the vehicle 50 and the traveling route. The facility information can be acquired and distributed at preset time intervals (eg, 30 minutes) and at preset time intervals (eg, 5 minutes interval).
The embodiments of the functional units of the facility recommendation system 1 according to the present invention have been described above based on the configurations of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 mounted on the vehicle 50, the portable terminal 20, and the facility recommendation server system 30. The embodiment of each functional unit included in the facility recommendation server system 30 according to the present invention may be distributed even in one computer or in a large number of computers interconnected by a communication network, which are distributed in one place or in several places. Can be deployed to It can also be configured using multiple virtual computers on the cloud.

<Operation of this embodiment>
Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 6 and 7. Here, FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation at the time of collecting position information and creating and updating the position information database 321. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation at the time of recommended facility information creation processing.

First, an operation at the time of collecting position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and creating and updating the position information database 321 will be described with reference to FIG.
The position information transmission unit 112 determines whether to start transmission of position information (step S11). Here, as described above, the transmission is started when the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a is turned on. When the ignition switch remains off (No in step S11), the transmission by the position information transmission unit 112 is not started. On the other hand, when the ignition switch is turned on (Yes in step S11), the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, the sensor unit 14 obtains position information by positioning the position of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 (step S12).
The position information transmission unit 112 acquires position information from the sensor unit 14 and performs real-time transmission or burst transmission of the acquired position information to the facility recommendation server system 30 at a predetermined cycle (step S13).

Next, it is determined whether the position information transmission unit 112 ends the transmission of the position information (step S14). As described above, the transmission is ended when the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a is turned off. If the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a remains on (No in step S14), the positioning in step S12 and the transmission in step S13 are repeated.

On the other hand, when the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a is turned off (Yes in step S14), the process proceeds to step S15.

In step S15, the position information database creation unit 311 of the facility recommendation server system 30 creates and updates the position information database 321 based on the position information transmitted by repeating steps S12 and S13 (step S15).
By the operation described above, collection of position information and creation and update of a position information database are realized.

Next, an operation at the time of collecting position information of the portable terminal 20 and updating the position information database will be described. For the portable terminal 20, the position information transmission unit 112 in the above description is replaced with the position information transmission unit 212, the sensor unit 14 is replaced with the sensor unit 24, and the reference for Yes in step S11 is "vehicle such as ignition switch When the start switch of 50b is turned on and the vehicle 50b and the portable terminal 20 are paired, it is replaced by “Yes” in step S14, “the start switch of the vehicle 50b such as ignition switch is turned off, the vehicle 50b and the mobile When the pairing of the terminal 20 is released, it may be replaced with “. Therefore, duplicate explanations are omitted.

Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7, the operation at the time of recommended facility information creation processing will be described.

In step S20, a record stored in the position information database 321 is input.

In step S21, it is determined whether the input of all the records stored in the position information database 321 has ended. If all the records have been input (Yes), the local facility file 324 is closed, and the process proceeds to step S25. If all the records have not been input (No), the process proceeds to step S22.

In step S22, the local facility extraction unit 312 refers to the visiting facility and the departure position of the record stored in the position information database 321, and determines whether or not the departure position D is a home position. If the departure position D is a home position (Yes), the process proceeds to step S23. If the departure position D is not the home position (No), the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S23, the local facility extraction unit 312 determines whether the visited facility D is within the first predetermined range from the departure position D. If the visited facility D is within the first predetermined range from the departure position D (Yes), the process proceeds to step S24. If the visited facility D does not exist within the first predetermined range from the departure position D (No), the process moves to step S20.

In step S24, the local facility extraction unit 312 extracts the record as a local facility information record, and stores the record in the storage unit 32 (local facility file 324). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S25, the recommended facility information creation unit 313 creates a recommended facility candidate file 325 from which the facility information related to the excluded facility is excluded from the local facility file 324 created by the local facility extraction unit 312.

In step S26, the recommended facility information creation unit 313 extracts a record in a predetermined period from the recommended facility candidate file 325.
In step S27, the recommended facility information creation unit 313 calculates the number of visits for each visited facility / visited vehicle by sorting the extracted records based on the identification information of the visited facility (facility ID) and the vehicle 50.
In step S28, the recommended facility information creation unit 313 creates the recommended facility file 326 based on the number of visits for each visited facility / visited vehicle.

As described above, the facility recommendation server system 30, for example, based on the created recommended facility file 326, for example, the current position of the vehicle 50 on which the user other than the local user (for example, a tourist) gets. We send recommended facility information (facility information which is facility (store (store)) where local people add enough and which is not well known to local people as popular facility with local people) can do.
By doing so, users outside the area (for example, tourists) can perform route guidance with the recommended facility distributed as the destination.

<About hardware and software>

<Modification>
The embodiment described above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment alone, and various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Implementation is possible.
The functional configuration of the above-described embodiment may be modified. That is, the functional configurations of FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are merely examples, and the functional configurations of the present embodiment are not limited. That is, it is sufficient if each device is equipped with a function capable of executing a series of processes relating to the facility recommendation function of the present invention as a whole, and what function blocks are used to realize this function is shown in FIG. It is not limited to the example of 3 and FIG.

Moreover, the description in the above-mentioned embodiment is only an illustration also about the apparatus for implement | achieving these functional structures. For example, in the above embodiment, the facility recommendation server system 30 is described to be realized by one server device or the like, but it is also possible as a distributed processing system where each function of the facility recommendation server system 30 is distributed to a plurality of server devices Good. In addition, each function of the facility recommendation server system 30 may be realized by using a virtual server function or the like on the cloud.

Moreover, the display part 34 and the input part 35 which were demonstrated as the facility recommendation server system 30 may be implement | achieved by an apparatus separate from the apparatus which implement | achieves the other part of the facility recommendation server system 30. For example, a device that implements the control unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the communication unit 33 and a device that implements the display unit 34 and the input unit 35 are separate bodies, and both devices communicate via the communication network 40. It is good also as composition.

Further, when the departure position D of the record stored in the position information database 321 is the position of the rental car facility, the local facility extraction unit 312 does not extract it as the local facility information record, but stores it in the departure position D. It is also possible to increase the types and determine whether or not extraction as a local facility information record is possible.
