　以下、図面を参照しながら本発明の実施形態について説明する。ここで、同一符号は同一の構成要素を示すものとし、重複する説明は省略する。
　まず、図１を参照しながら、本発明の実施形態についてその概要を説明し、次に、図２乃至図８を参照しながらその詳細について説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and the duplicate description will be omitted.
First, an outline of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1, and then details thereof will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8.
　図１は本発明の実施形態に関わる情報収集システム１０の構成を示す説明図である。情報収集システム１０は、無線ルータ２０と、集計サーバ３０とを備える。同図に示す例では、無線ルータ２０は、タクシー８０に設置されている。無線ルータ２０は、タクシー８０に乗車する利用者１００が移動通信端末６０から無線ルータ２０を通じてインターネット網９０に接続するためのアクセスポイントとして機能する。 FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of an information collection system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The information collecting system 10 includes a wireless router 20 and a totaling server 30. In the example shown in the figure, the wireless router 20 is installed in the taxi 80. The wireless router 20 functions as an access point for the user 100 who takes a taxi 80 to connect to the Internet network 90 from the mobile communication terminal 60 through the wireless router 20.
　移動通信端末６０は、例えば、スマートフォンと呼ばれる多機能携帯電話機、無線通信機能を有するパーソナルコンピュータ、又はタブレット端末である。移動通信端末６０は、タクシー８０の運営会社又はその提携会社が提供する特定のアプリケーションプログラム７０を実装している。アプリケーションプログラム７０は、例えば、タクシー８０の配車の予約を受け付けるようにプログラムされたものでもよい。利用者１００には、アプリケーションプログラム７０のログインＩＤが付与されている。利用者１００は、タクシー８０の乗車中にログインＩＤを用いてアプリケーションプログラム７０にログインすることにより、アプリケーションプログラム７０を通じて無線ルータ２０にインターネット網９０への無線接続を要求することができる。無線接続の要求を受けた無線ルータ２０は、利用者１００の接続認証を行う。接続認証処理が完了すると、無線ルータ２０は、移動通信端末６０をその接続要求先に無線接続する。移動通信端末６０の接続要求先が、例えば、Ｗｅｂサーバ５０である場合、無線ルータ２０は、移動通信端末６０をＷｅｂサーバ５０に無線接続する。 The mobile communication terminal 60 is, for example, a multifunctional mobile phone called a smartphone, a personal computer having a wireless communication function, or a tablet terminal. The mobile communication terminal 60 is equipped with a specific application program 70 provided by a taxi 80 operating company or its affiliated company. The application program 70 may be, for example, a program programmed to accept a reservation for a taxi 80 dispatch. The login ID of the application program 70 is given to the user 100. The user 100 can request the wireless router 20 to wirelessly connect to the Internet network 90 through the application program 70 by logging in to the application program 70 using the login ID while riding in the taxi 80. Upon receiving the request for wireless connection, the wireless router 20 authenticates the connection of the user 100. When the connection authentication process is completed, the wireless router 20 wirelessly connects the mobile communication terminal 60 to the connection request destination. When the connection request destination of the mobile communication terminal 60 is, for example, the Web server 50, the wireless router 20 wirelessly connects the mobile communication terminal 60 to the Web server 50.
　無線ルータ２０は、利用者１００の識別情報であるアプリケーションプログラム７０のログインＩＤと、利用者１００の無線接続の利用の度合いを定量的に示す情報（例えば、無線接続時間又は接続認証回数）とを関連付けて取得する。無線ルータ２０が取得したこれらの情報は、集計サーバ３０に送信される。集計サーバ３０は、無線ルータ２０をアクセスポイントとする無線接続の利用の度合いを利用者１００毎に集計し、その集計結果をポイント管理システム４０に送信する。ポイント管理システム４０の運営会社は、タクシー８０の運営会社と提携しており、無線ルータ２０をアクセスポイントとする無線接続の利用の度合いに応じて、利用者１００にポイントを付与する。ポイントは、予め定められた条件の下で商品又はサービスとの間で交換価値を有する。ポイント管理システム４０は、無線ルータ２０をアクセスポイントとする利用者１００の無線接続の利用の度合いが多い程、利用者１００のポイントが高くなるようにポイントの計算を行ってもよい。利用者１００は、付与されたポイントに応じたサービスの提供を受けることができる。例えば、利用者１００は、タクシー８０の利用料金の全部又は一部をポイントから支払うことができる。また、例えば、利用者１００は、タクシー８０の運営会社と提携関係にある会社の商品の代金の全部又は一部をポイントから支払うことができる。 The wireless router 20 stores the login ID of the application program 70, which is the identification information of the user 100, and information quantitatively indicating the degree of use of the wireless connection of the user 100 (for example, the wireless connection time or the number of connection authentications). Get in association. These pieces of information acquired by the wireless router 20 are transmitted to the aggregation server 30. The tallying server 30 tallies the degree of use of wireless connection using the wireless router 20 as an access point for each user 100, and sends the tallying result to the point management system 40. The operating company of the point management system 40 is affiliated with the operating company of the taxi 80, and gives points to the user 100 according to the degree of use of wireless connection using the wireless router 20 as an access point. Points have an exchange value with goods or services under predetermined conditions. The point management system 40 may calculate points such that the higher the degree of wireless connection usage of the user 100 using the wireless router 20 as an access point, the higher the point of the user 100. The user 100 can receive the service provided according to the given points. For example, the user 100 can pay all or part of the taxi 80 usage fee from points. In addition, for example, the user 100 can pay all or part of the price of the product of the company that is affiliated with the operating company of the taxi 80 from the points.
　このように、タクシー８０内の無線ルータ２０をアクセスポイントとする利用者１００の無線接続の利用の度合いに応じて利用者１００にポイントを付与することにより、タクシー８０を利用するインセンティブを利用者１００に与えることができる。 In this way, by giving points to the user 100 according to the degree of use of the wireless connection of the user 100 whose access point is the wireless router 20 in the taxi 80, the user 100 is provided with an incentive to use the taxi 80. Can be given to.
　図２は無線ルータ２０の構成を示す説明図である。
　無線ルータ２０は、主制御回路２１と、公衆網通信回路２２と、無線ＬＡＮ通信回路２３と、位置検出装置２４とを備える。公衆網通信回路２２は、無線ＷＡＮ（Wide Area Network）を通じてインターネット網９０に接続する。無線ＬＡＮ通信回路２３は、無線ＬＡＮ（Local Area Network）を通じて移動通信端末６０に接続する。無線ＬＡＮとして、例えば、Wi-Fi（登録商標）を挙げることができる。主制御回路２１は、プロセッサ及びメモリを備えており、予め実装されている制御プログラムに従って無線ルータ２０の動作を制御する。主制御回路２１は、例えば、ルーティング制御を通じて、移動通信端末６０をその接続要求先に無線接続させる。位置検出装置２４は、無線ルータ２０の位置を検出する装置、例えば、ＧＰＳ(Global Positioning System)である。但し、位置検出装置２４は必須ではないため、無線ルータ２０は、位置検出装置２４を備えなくてもよい。 FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the wireless router 20.
The wireless router 20 includes a main control circuit 21, a public network communication circuit 22, a wireless LAN communication circuit 23, and a position detection device 24. The public network communication circuit 22 connects to the Internet 90 via a wireless WAN (Wide Area Network). The wireless LAN communication circuit 23 connects to the mobile communication terminal 60 via a wireless LAN (Local Area Network). An example of the wireless LAN is Wi-Fi (registered trademark). The main control circuit 21 includes a processor and a memory, and controls the operation of the wireless router 20 according to a control program installed in advance. The main control circuit 21 wirelessly connects the mobile communication terminal 60 to its connection request destination through routing control, for example. The position detection device 24 is a device that detects the position of the wireless router 20, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System). However, since the position detecting device 24 is not essential, the wireless router 20 may not include the position detecting device 24.
　図３は本発明の実施形態に関わる無線接続方法の処理の流れの一例を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing flow of the wireless connection method according to the embodiment of the present invention.
　ステップ３０１において、主制御回路２１は、アプリケーションプログラム７０を通じた移動通信端末６０からのインターネット網９０への接続要求を受信したか否かを判定する。 At step 301, the main control circuit 21 determines whether or not a connection request from the mobile communication terminal 60 via the application program 70 to the internet 90 has been received.
　ステップ３０２において、主制御回路２１は、移動通信端末６０の接続認証を行う。この接続認証では、主制御回路２１は、利用者１００の識別情報（アプリケーションプログラム７０のログインＩＤ）の入力を要求し、利用者１００からその識別情報を取得する。 In step 302, the main control circuit 21 authenticates the connection of the mobile communication terminal 60.
