Description

Itinerary program, terminal, itinerary server

The present invention relates to a process guidance program for displaying a process on a terminal.

Patent Document 1 and the like have proposed a control device and the like for a terminal to search for a route to reach a destination through a waypoint.

JP-A-2019-151316

However, the waypoint is a transit point, and staying at the waypoint is not considered.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a itinerary guidance program or the like that calculates the itinerary in consideration of the staying time of the visited place located on the itinerary from the departure area to the arrival area.

The process guidance program according to the present invention executes a condition setting process, a process calculation process, and an output process.
In the condition setting step, at least one of the first information and the second information is set.
The first information includes the departure area, the desired departure time from the boarding / alighting area corresponding to the departure area, the arrival area, and the desired arrival time to arrive at the boarding / alighting area corresponding to the arrival area.
The second information is the visited place located on the process of moving from the departure area to the arrival area, the visited place arriving at the boarding / alighting place corresponding to the visited place, the desired arrival time, and the visiting place departing from the boarding / alighting place corresponding to the visited place. Includes at least one of the desired departure times.
The itinerary calculation process is based on the information set in the condition setting process, the information on the first transportation means, the information on the second transportation means, and the information on the staying time of the visited place, and the first transportation means and the second transportation means. Using at least one of the means of transportation, calculate at least one of the recommended departure time for departure from the boarding / alighting area corresponding to the departure area and the recommended departure time for the visiting place departing from the boarding / alighting area corresponding to the visited place.
The output stroke causes the terminal to output the calculation result of the stroke calculation process.
The first means of transportation is public transportation that transports passengers at a predetermined time without a time schedule for traveling in a predetermined section.
The second means of transportation is public transportation with a time schedule.
Information on the first means of transportation corresponds to the travel time using the first means of transportation between the boarding / alighting area corresponding to the departure area and the boarding / alighting area corresponding to the visited place, and the boarding / alighting place and the arrival area corresponding to the visited place.

Therefore, it is possible to improve the operational efficiency of the operator of the first transportation means as compared with the form in which the process calculation process or the like is performed without considering the reservation status of other users.

Further, preferably, the itinerary calculation process is the first means of transportation, reserved for another user, and boarding after a predetermined time has elapsed from the calculation of at least one of the recommended departure time and the recommended departure time for the visited place. Calculate at least one of the recommended departure time and the recommended departure time for the visited location, using the one with available space.
In the output process, instead of the calculation result before the elapse of the predetermined time, the calculation result after the elapse of the predetermined time and the operation button related to the instruction to change the reservation are output to the terminal.

This makes it possible to prepare the optimum process for at least one of the user and the business operator, rather than the result of the first calculation.

More preferably, the condition setting step sets the first information.
When the first visited place and the second visited place are set as the visited place, the process calculation step includes the calculation of the visit order of the first visited place and the second visited place.

When a plurality of visited places are set, it becomes possible to know the order of visits of the plurality of visited places in consideration of the staying time of the plurality of visited places.

The selection confirmation area A7 includes a first selection confirmation area A7a (see FIG. 11) for displaying the set transportation means, a second selection confirmation area A7b (see FIG. 12) for displaying the set number of people, and settings. It has a third selection confirmation area A7c (see FIGS. 13 to 15) for displaying a completed departure date and the like.

The first setting instruction area A5a to the third setting instruction area A5c, the first selection input area A6a to the third selection input area A6c, and the first selection confirmation area A7a to the third selection confirmation area A7c are displayed side by side in this order.
Specifically, when the operation of the first selection input area A6a is performed in the state where the first setting instruction area A5a and the first selection input area A6a are displayed (first state, see FIG. 10), the first selection is performed. Instead of the input area A6a, the first selection confirmation area A7a is displayed (second state, see FIG. 11).
Further, the second setting instruction area A5b and the second selection input area A6b are displayed.

FIG. 11 shows an example in which both the first transportation means and the second transportation means are selected as the transportation means used in the process by operating the first selection input area A6a.

When the operation of the second selection input area A6b is performed while the first setting instruction area A5a, the first selection confirmation area A7a, the second setting instruction area A5b, and the second selection input area A6b are displayed, the second selection is performed. Instead of the input area A6b, the second selection confirmation area A7b is displayed (third state, see FIG. 12).
Further, the third setting instruction area A5c and the third selection input area A6c are displayed.

FIG. 12 shows an example in which one person is selected as the number of people to use the means of transportation shown in the process.

The third setting instruction area A5a, the first selection confirmation area A7a, the second setting instruction area A5b, the second selection confirmation area A7b, the third setting instruction area A5c, and the third selection input area A6c are displayed. When a part of the selection input area A6c is operated, the third selection confirmation area A7c is displayed instead of the third selection input area A6c for which selection or input has been performed (fourth state). , (See FIG. 13) (fifth state, see FIG. 14).

FIG. 13 shows an example in which October 2, 2019 is selected as the departure date, and the departure area, the desired departure time, the arrival area, and the desired arrival time are not set.
In FIG. 14, October 2, 2019 is selected as the departure date, the first boarding / alighting area P1 is selected as the departure area, 10:30 is selected as the desired departure time, and the arrival area and desired arrival time are selected. Is not set.

The departure area and the arrival area may be set differently or the same.

The third setting instruction area A5a, the first selection confirmation area A7a, the second setting instruction area A5b, the second selection confirmation area A7b, the third setting instruction area A5c, and the third selection input area A6c are displayed.

Further, the search condition confirmation area A8 and the search instruction button B3 are displayed.

In FIG. 15, October 2, 2019 is selected as the departure date, and the departure area, desired departure time, arrival area (4th boarding / alighting area P4, not shown) and desired arrival time (14:30, not shown). Here is an example in which is set.

That is, the display prompting the condition setting for creating the process is performed for each item, and after the setting of each item is performed, the display prompting the next condition setting is performed.
Further, the content prompting the condition setting is displayed as a message of one speaker, and the content after setting is displayed as a message of the other speaker on the third screen Pi3.
Therefore, the conditions that the user needs to set can be set without omission.
However, as for the input method of the condition setting, the display prompting the condition setting for creating the process is performed for each item, and after the setting of each item is performed, the display prompting the next condition setting is performed. That is, it is not limited to the interactive format. For example, the items related to the condition setting may be displayed in a list.

The search condition confirmation area A8 on the third screen Pi3 is an area for confirming that a search for creating a process is performed with the search conditions set by the operation of the selection input area A6.

The search instruction button B3 on the third screen Pi3 is used to instruct the search of the process to visit the visited place set on the second screen Pi2 under the conditions set on the third screen Pi3.
When an operation for instructing a process search such as clicking the search instruction button B3 is performed, the first terminal M1 displays the conditions (transportation means, number of people, departure date, departure area, departure) set on the third screen Pi3. At the desired time, arrival area, desired arrival time), the process of moving from the departure area to the visited place set on the second screen Pi2, staying at the visited place, and moving to the arrival area is calculated (process calculation process). ). The recommended departure time is calculated as the time equal to or close to the desired departure time (for example, the time within the second time T2 described later), and the recommended arrival time is the same as or close to the desired arrival time (for example,). It is desirable that the time (time within the second time T2), which will be described later, is calculated.
Further, as the calculation result, the display of the third screen Pi3 can be switched to the display of the fourth screen Pi4 (output process, see FIG. 16).

(Procedure for calculating the process)
Next, the procedure for calculating the process will be described.
The first terminal M1 accesses the itinerary guidance server 30, and is the latest of the first transportation means database DB1, the travel time / charge database DB2, the first transportation means reservation status database DB3, the second transportation means database DB4, and the visited place database DB5. Get information.
Based on these databases (DB1 to DB5), the first terminal M1 moves from the departure area to the visited place set on the second screen Pi2 under the conditions set on the third screen Pi3, and makes the visit. Calculate the journey to stay in the area and move to the arrival area.

Specifically, the first terminal M1 specifies a first transportation means or a second transportation means that can be used in the section connecting the boarding / alighting area corresponding to the departure area and the boarding / alighting area corresponding to the visited place.
Further, the first terminal M1 specifies a first moving means or a second moving means that can be used in the section connecting the boarding / alighting place corresponding to the visited place and the boarding / alighting place corresponding to the arrival area.
When a plurality of visited places are set, the first terminal M1 specifies the order of visits of the plurality of visited places, and the boarding / alighting place corresponding to the previous visited place and the boarding / alighting place corresponding to the later visited place The first or second means of transportation that can be used in the section connecting the above is specified.

For example, in the case of prioritizing the use of the second means of transportation, the departure area is departed within the second time T2 (for example, T2 = 45 minutes) before and after the desired departure time set by the user to correspond to the visited place. If there is a second means of transportation to the boarding / alighting place, it is conceivable to use the second means of transportation to set the outbound route.
Further, in the case of giving priority to the use of the second transportation means, the second transportation means from the boarding / alighting place corresponding to the visited place corresponding to the visited place arriving at the arrival area within the second time T2 before and after the desired arrival time set by the user. If there is, it is conceivable to set the return route using the second means of transportation.

In addition, there is a first means that can make a reservation in a time zone in which the departure area can be departed within the second time T2 before and after the desired departure time set by the user, in the case of giving priority to shortening the travel time. In that case, it is conceivable to set the outbound route using the first means.
In addition, there is a first means that can make a reservation in a time zone in which the arrival area can be reached within the second time T2 before and after the desired arrival time set by the user, in the case of giving priority to shortening the travel time. In that case, it is conceivable to set the outbound route using the first means.

In the present embodiment, the itinerary guidance program departs from the first boarding / alighting area P1 at 11:00 (recommended departure time) based on the second transportation means database DB4 or the like, and departs from the fifth boarding / alighting area P5 at 11:50. An example of making a decision to use the ferry of the twelfth operator CS2 arriving at (recommended arrival time at the visited place) for the outbound route is shown.
In addition, the itinerary guidance program departs from the 6th boarding / alighting area P6 at 14:00 (recommended time to depart from the visited place) based on the 1st transportation means reservation status database DB3, etc., and arrives at the 4th boarding / alighting area P4 at 14:20. An example of making a decision to use the sea taxi of the 22nd operator CT2 arriving at the minute (recommended arrival time) for the return route is shown.

(Considering the staying time at the visited place)
In addition, the itinerary guidance program subtracts the total travel time between the travel time of the means of transportation and the travel time between the boarding point and the visited place from the total travel time between the calculated departure recommended time and arrival recommended time of the itinerary. Calculate the difference time. The itinerary guidance program determines whether or not the difference time is longer than the stay time threshold including the average stay time of the visited place set by the user.
When a plurality of visited places are set, the staying time threshold value includes the total average staying time of the plurality of visited places set by the user.
The staying time threshold is set to a value of about 1.2 times the average staying time of the visited place.

If the difference time is longer than the staying time threshold, the itinerary guidance program displays Pi4 on the fourth screen, assuming that the user can secure a sufficient staying time at the visited place in the calculated process.
If the difference time is less than or equal to the staying time threshold, it is assumed that the user cannot secure a sufficient staying time at the visited place in the calculated process, and the itinerary guidance program replaces the display on the fourth screen Pi4 with the second. A display (not shown) indicating that at least one of the visited place set on the screen Pi2 and the condition set on the third screen Pi3 is changed is displayed.

In the present embodiment, the total travel time between the calculated departure recommended time (11:00) and arrival recommended time (14:20) is 3 hours and 20 minutes.
In addition, the travel time of the outbound route (section from the 1st platform P1 to the 5th platform P5) is 50 minutes, and the travel time of the return route (section from the 6th platform P6 to the 4th platform P4) is 20 minutes. The total travel time from the 5th boarding / alighting place P5 to the 1st visiting place V1: 10 minutes and the traveling time from the 1st visiting place V1 to the 6th boarding / alighting place P6: 15 minutes is 1 hour 35 minutes. Is.
The difference time between the total travel time and the total travel time is 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Since the difference time (1 hour and 45 minutes) greatly exceeds the average stay time (60 minutes) of the first visit place V1, the stay time threshold including the average stay time of the first visit place V1 is set to 1 of the average stay time. Even if it is set to 72 minutes, which corresponds to twice, the difference time becomes longer than the stay time threshold.
Therefore, assuming that the user can secure a sufficient staying time at the first visited place V1 in the calculated process, the process guidance program displays the fourth screen Pi4 as shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the staying time threshold value is used as information regarding the staying time at the visited place. However, the information regarding the staying time of the visited place may be set manually by the user.

(When multiple boarding / alighting points for one visited place are registered)
When a plurality of boarding / alighting areas corresponding to one visited place are registered, one of the boarding / alighting areas is used to identify the first transportation means or the second transportation means.
In the present embodiment, the fifth boarding / alighting place P5 and the sixth boarding / alighting place P6 are registered as the boarding / alighting place corresponding to the first visiting place V1, and the fifth boarding / alighting place P5 corresponds to the first visiting place V1 on the outbound route. An example is shown in which the sixth boarding / alighting place P6 is used as a boarding / alighting place corresponding to the first visited place V1 on the return trip.

(Visit order of multiple visits)
The visit order of a plurality of visited places may be set manually by the user, or may be automatically calculated by the itinerary guidance program.
For example, a visited place where a boarding / alighting place close to the boarding / alighting place in the departure area is registered may be a destination visited place, or a visiting place where a boarding / alighting place close to the boarding / alighting place in the arrival area is registered as a later visit place A calculation method can be considered.

(Itinerary guidance considering other reservation status)
Further, even if the process using the second transportation means can be calculated, the first has a vacancy that allows more passengers to board in the same section, in the same time zone, and in the second selection input area A6b. When there is a reservation for the means of transportation, the itinerary guidance program may preferentially calculate the process including the use of the first means of transportation corresponding to the reservation.
That is, in the itinerary calculation process, the recommended departure time and the recommended departure time of the visited place are used by using the first means of transportation, which is reserved by another user and has a vacancy that can be boarded. At least one of may be calculated.

For example, a sea taxi with a reservation to move from the 1st boarding point P1 to the 5th boarding / alighting station P5 from 10:00 to 12:00 on October 2, 2019, and one or more people. If there is a vacancy, it is conceivable that the itinerary guidance program will calculate the use of the sea taxi for the outbound route instead of the above-mentioned calculation of using the ferry for the outbound route.

(4th screen Pi4)
The fourth screen Pi4 has a departure date display area A9, a travel itinerary display area A10 for each means of getting on and off, a visited place display area A11 for each visited place, a fare display area A12, and a reservation button B4.

The departure date display area A9 of the fourth screen Pi4 is an area for displaying the date of the process displayed on the fourth screen Pi4, and is also used as a back button.
When an operation to return to the original screen is performed, such as clicking the departure date display area A9, the display of the fourth screen Pi4 is switched to the display of the screen before the fourth screen Pi4 is displayed.

The moving process display area A10 of the fourth screen Pi4 is an area for displaying the details of the process using the moving means.
The detailed display of the itinerary using the means of transportation includes the recommended departure time, the departure / exit area, the name of the means of transportation, the fare of the means of transportation, the recommended arrival time, and the arrival / departure area.
If the fare corresponding to the section fluctuates according to at least one of the actual travel distance and travel time, the fare for the means of transportation may not be shown or may fluctuate from the average price of the section. Note is shown.
When the area including the departure / exit area is operated, a map including the departure / exit area is displayed on a separate screen.

The movement stroke display area A10 is provided for each section.
In FIG. 16, the travel stroke display area A10 displays the details of the travel stroke of the outward trip to the first visit destination V1 and the first travel stroke display area A10a, and the detailed display of the travel stroke of the return trip from the first visit destination V1. An example is shown in which the second moving stroke display area A10b is provided.
In the first movement process display area A10a of FIG. 16, the recommended departure time is 11:00, the departure area is the first boarding / alighting area P1, and the means of transportation is a ferry of 1,000 yen, and arrival is recommended. An example is shown in which the time is 11:50 and the arrival area is the 5th boarding / alighting area P5.
The second travel itinerary display area A10b in FIG. 16 arrives at the recommended departure time of 14:00, the departure area is the sixth boarding / alighting platform P6, and the means of transportation is a sea taxi of 1,100 yen. An example is shown in which the recommended time is 14:20 and the arrival area is the 4th boarding / alighting area P4.
When there are a plurality of visited places set on the second screen Pi2, or when three or more means of transportation are used, the movement process display area A10 is the section between the visited place and another visited place. There will be more about.

The visited place display area A11 of the fourth screen Pi4 is an area for displaying information on the visited place.
The visited place display area A11 is provided for each visited place.
FIG. 16 shows an example in which one visited place (first visited place V1) is set and one visited place display area A11 is provided.
When a plurality of visited places are set, a plurality of visited place display areas A11 are provided.
When the visited place display area A11 is operated, such as by clicking the visited place display area A11, the display is switched to the display of the second screen Pi2 including the corresponding visited place.

The charge display area A12 of the fourth screen Pi4 is an area for displaying the total amount of money when the moving means shown in the moving process display area A10 and the information about the operator of each moving means are displayed.
The charge display area A12 may include information regarding a payment method, cancellation, and the like.
In the fare display area A12 of FIG. 16, the number of reservations is one, the total fare for the return and outbound transportation means is 2,100 yen, and the outbound route (the section from the first boarding / alighting area P1 to the fifth boarding / alighting area P5). An example is shown in which the ferry operator to be used is the 12th operator CS2 and the sea taxi operator to be used on the return route (the section from the 6th boarding / alighting area P6 to the 4th boarding / alighting area P4) is the 22nd company CT2. ..

The reservation button B4 on the fourth screen Pi4 is used to instruct a reservation for the means of moving the process shown on the fourth screen Pi4.
In FIG. 16, the reservation button B4 reserves only the “all reservation” button for reserving all of the indicated transportation means and the “P1 → P5 only reservation” for reserving a part (outward route) of the indicated transportation means. An example of having a "Reserve only P6 → P4" button for reserving a part of the indicated transportation means (return trip) is shown.
The reservation button B4 varies depending on the number of moving means indicated in the moving stroke display area.

When the reservation button B4 is operated, such as clicking any of the reservation buttons B4, the first terminal M1 transmits a reservation instruction signal corresponding to the reserved button B4 to be operated to the itinerary guidance server 30.
The reservation instruction signal includes terminal user information (name, payment method, etc.) and reservation details.

The itinerary guidance server 30 transmits reservation information to the server of the business operator related to the reservation based on the reservation instruction signal.
Further, when the reservation of the first moving means is included in the reservation instruction signal, the first moving means reservation status database DB3 is updated.
For example, when the "all reservation" button of the reservation button B4 is operated in the state of FIG. 16, the reservation instruction signal includes the information of the user of the first terminal M1 and the reservation contents of the outward route and the return route.

Upon receiving the reservation instruction signal, the itinerary guidance server 30 departs from the first boarding / alighting area P1 at 11:00 on October 2, 2019 to the server SS2 of the twelfth operator CS2 at 11:50. The reservation information of the ferry arriving at the 5th boarding / alighting place P5 is transmitted to.
In addition, the itinerary guidance server 30 that has received the reservation instruction signal departs from the 6th boarding / alighting area P6 at 14:00 on October 2, 2019 to the server ST2 of the 22nd operator CT2 at 14:00. The reservation information of the sea taxi arriving at the 4th boarding point P4 in 20 minutes is transmitted.

Further, the itinerary guidance server 30 that has received the reservation instruction signal updates the first transportation means reservation status database DB3 (see FIG. 17).
FIG. 17 shows the fourth boarding / alighting from the sixth boarding / alighting area P6 during the time zone from 14:00 to 16:00 on October 2, 2019 for the sea taxi S22 of the 22nd operator CT2 from the state of FIG. An example in which a reservation for one person is added to the field P4 is shown.

(effect)
In consideration of the staying time of the visited place (stay time threshold value), at least one of the recommended departure time of the departure area and the recommended departure time of the visited place of the visited place is output.
Therefore, when moving from the departure area to the arrival area, it is possible to calculate the journey from the departure area to the arrival area, including sufficient staying time at the visited place.
In addition, the itinerary is calculated including the first means of transportation such as a taxi, which does not have a time schedule. For this reason, it is possible to guide the itinerary even in areas such as remote islands where the number of flights of the second transportation means having a time schedule is small.

For the first means of transportation such as taxis that do not have a time schedule, itinerary guidance will be provided using those that can be reserved. For this reason, there is a higher possibility that the person can act according to the guided process, as compared with the form in which the process guidance is performed without considering the possibility of reservation.

The process calculation process, output process, etc. are executed using the first means of transportation that is reserved by another user and has a vacant space for boarding. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operational efficiency of the operator of the first transportation means as compared with the form in which the process calculation process or the like is performed without considering the reservation status of other users.

When a plurality of visited places are set, it becomes possible to know the order of visits of the plurality of visited places in consideration of the staying time of the plurality of visited places.

(Application example that proposes a different process later)
It should be noted that the process calculation process, the output process, etc. may be executed according to the reservation status of another user after a predetermined time (for example, 2 hours) has elapsed after the process calculation process and the output process are executed. It may be done again.
In this case, the itinerary calculation process is the first means of transportation, which is performed after the calculation of the recommended departure time and the recommended departure time of the visited place (first calculation) and the elapse of a predetermined time from the first calculation, and is another method. It has the calculation of the recommended departure time and the recommended departure time of the visited place (second calculation) using the one reserved by the user and having a vacant space for boarding.
In the output stroke, instead of the calculation result before the elapse of the predetermined time (result of the first calculation), the calculation result after the elapse of the predetermined time (result of the second calculation) and the operation button (reservation) related to the instruction to change the reservation. Button) is output.

From the state shown in FIG. 17 to the elapse of the predetermined time, the first boarding / alighting of the sea taxi S22 of the 22nd operator CT2 is performed during the time zone from 10:00 to 12:00 on October 2, 2019. A case where a reservation from the field P1 to the fifth boarding / alighting place P5 with a vacancy for 6 people is added (see FIG. 18) will be described as an example.

In this case, in the process calculation process, after a lapse of a predetermined time from the first calculation, the first means of transportation, which is reserved by another user and has a vacancy for boarding (the first). The second calculation is performed using the sea taxi S22) of the 22 operator CT2.
In the output stroke, the display of the result of the first calculation in the first movement stroke display area A10a is switched to the display of the result of the second calculation.

Specifically, regarding the outbound route, in the first calculation, the recommended departure time is 11:00, the departure area is the first boarding / alighting area P1, the means of transportation is a ferry of 1,000 yen, and the recommended arrival time. At 11:50, the arrival area was shown as the 5th boarding / alighting area P5, while in the second calculation, the recommended departure time was 10:30 and the departure area was the 1st boarding / alighting area P1. The means of transportation is a sea taxi with a fare of 1,900 yen, the recommended arrival time is 11:10, and the arrival area is the 5th boarding point P5.
In addition, the content of the charge display area A12 is changed.
In addition, the display of the reservation button B4 is a "change reservation with proposal content" button for accepting the proposal content based on the second calculation and changing the reservation, and a reservation change without accepting the proposal content based on the second calculation. You can switch to the "No change" button for selection.

At this time, the part switched to the display of the result of the second calculation is displayed in a emphasized state as compared with the time when the result of the first calculation is displayed. FIG. 19 shows an example of highlighting in which the first movement process display area A10a, the charge display area A12, and the reservation button B4 include a thick line frame.

This makes it possible to prepare the optimum process for at least one of the user and the business operator, rather than the result of the first calculation.

When displaying the result of the second calculation, the charge may be displayed at a discount from the usual one.
Specifically, a form in which a predetermined discount rate (for example, 10%) is discounted from a normal charge is displayed as a charge, a form in which the same charge as the charge displayed in the first calculation result is displayed, and a travel time. -It is conceivable that the charge database DB2 displays a record of the discounted charge used when displaying the result of the second calculation in advance.

When the reservation button B4 is operated, such as clicking any of the reservation buttons B4, the first terminal M1 transmits a reservation instruction signal corresponding to the reserved button B4 to be operated to the itinerary guidance server 30.

When the reservation instruction signal includes the change reservation content, the itinerary guidance server 30 transmits the reservation information to the server of the business operator related to the reservation based on the reservation instruction signal.

For example, in the state of FIG. 19, when the "change reservation with proposal contents" button of the reservation button B4 is operated, the reservation instruction signal includes the information of the user of the first terminal M1 and the change reservation contents of the outbound route. Is done.

Upon receiving the reservation instruction signal, the itinerary guidance server 30 departs from the first boarding / alighting area P1 at 11:00 on October 2, 2019 to the server SS2 of the twelfth operator CS2 at 11:50. The reservation cancellation information of the ferry arriving at the 5th boarding / alighting place P5 is transmitted to.
In addition, the itinerary guidance server 30 that has received the reservation instruction signal departs from the first boarding / alighting area P1 at 10:30 on October 2, 2019 to the server ST2 of the 22nd operator CT2 at 11:00. The reservation information of the sea taxi arriving at the 5th boarding point P5 in 10 minutes is transmitted.

Further, the itinerary guidance server 30 that has received the reservation instruction signal updates the first transportation means reservation status database DB3 (see FIG. 20).
From the state of FIG. 19, FIG. 20 shows the sea taxi S22 of the 22nd operator CT2 from the 1st boarding / alighting area P1 to the 5th boarding / alighting area from 10:00 to 12:00 on October 2, 2019. An example in which a reservation for one person is added to the place P5 is shown.

Further, in the state of FIG. 19, when the "no change" button of the reservation button B4 is operated, the reservation instruction signal contains the information of the user of the first terminal M1 and the content that the reservation of the outbound route is not changed. included.

(Setting whether or not the boarding / alighting area has been registered)
In this embodiment, it is assumed that both the 21st business operator CT1 and the 22nd business operator CT2 have obtained permission to use a sea taxi for all of the 1st boarding / alighting area P1 to the 8th boarding / alighting area P8. The calculation process and the like were explained.
However, it is possible that at least one of the 21st business operator CT1 and the 22nd business operator CT2 has not received permission to use a sea taxi for some boarding points.
In this case, the combination of the boarding / alighting area and the business operator who have not received the license is excluded from the first transportation means specified in the process calculation process.
For example, for the first boarding / alighting area P1, if the 21st company CT1 has not received permission to use a sea taxi, the sea taxi of the 21st company CT1 will be used when moving using the first boarding / alighting area P1. The stroke calculation process is performed under no conditions.

(Access the database of another company without having a database)
In the present embodiment, the recording unit 33 of the itinerary guidance server 30 displays the first transportation means database DB1, the travel time / charge database DB2, the first transportation means reservation status database DB3, the second transportation means database DB4, and the visited place database DB5.
