Description

  The present invention relates to a portable terminal device such as a portable telephone and a system using the portable terminal device, and more particularly to a technique for recording position information based on a moving state of the portable terminal device.

  In recent years, with the development of networks such as computers and wireless, portable communication terminal devices such as mobile phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) are represented not only by telephone calls using the public telephone network but also by e-mail. Multi-functions such as transmission / reception of data, provision of position information and navigation based on GPS (Global Positioning System), and execution of games have become common.

  On the other hand, in recent years, with the development of social media such as electronic bulletin boards, blogs, video sharing services, and social network services, services that can be linked to multifunctional portable communication terminal devices are increasing. In particular, recently, there have also appeared social media services linked to location information of portable communication terminal devices.

  In addition, while portable communication terminal devices are required to be used for a long time, power consumption increases due to having many functions, and research on power saving is also progressing. . In particular, the GPS function used in a portable terminal device has higher power consumption than other functions due to its characteristics. Recently, portable terminal devices that can reduce the power consumption are known. ing.

  For example, one of such portable terminal devices is known to reduce the frequency of acquiring position information based on the movement pattern of the device stored in advance and the movement of the device detected by an acceleration sensor. (For example, Patent Document 1).

  Further, for example, as another example of such a portable terminal device, the mobile terminal device has a movement sensor that detects only whether the device is moving positionally, and acquires position information only when the movement is detected. What is made to know is known (for example, patent document 2).

JP 2009-267886 A JP 2009-288233 A

  However, in the portable terminal device described in Patent Document 1, if the movement pattern is not registered in advance, the frequency of acquiring position information cannot be controlled. For this reason, it is complicated to register all the movement patterns for the user, and this portable terminal device is not convenient.

  In addition, in the portable terminal device described in Patent Document 2, since the position information is acquired when a certain distance of movement occurs, the position information of the moving portable terminal apparatus is also recorded, It is impossible to accurately determine whether the portable terminal device, that is, the place where the moving body has stopped or stayed.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to reduce the power consumption by reducing the number of times the current position is detected and the number of times position information is recorded with a simple configuration, while accurately reducing the power consumption. An object of the present invention is to provide a portable terminal device or the like that can acquire position information where a mobile object has accumulated.

  (1) In order to solve the above-described problem, the portable terminal device of the present invention detects position detection means for detecting the current position of the own device in the real space, and detects a moving state and a stopped state of the own device in the real space. Based on the detected movement state and stop state, time detection means for detecting a transition time from the movement state to the stop state and a state transition from the stop state to the movement state, and the detected transition A stop period calculating means for calculating a stop period in the stop state based on time, and driving the position detecting means on the basis of the calculated stop period so as to make a transition to the stop state from the moving state. A detection control means for detecting the current position of the machine, and a recording control means for recording the detected current position in a database.

  With this configuration, the portable terminal device of the present invention, for example, when the stop period is a certain time or more, or when the movement state and the movement state are repeated in a short period even if the stop period is a certain time or less. Then, the current position of the own device can be acquired by driving the position detecting means. Therefore, the portable terminal device of the present invention detects the current position every fixed time, or detects the current position every time the state changes from the moving state to the stopped state or from the stopped state to the moving state. The number of times of detection of the current position can be reduced, and the number of times of recording the current position in the database can be reduced by significantly reducing the number of times of detection of the current position. As a result, the portable terminal device according to the present invention has an overall power consumption such as a reduction in driving time of the current position detection means, a reduction in driving time of the recording medium for constructing the database, or a reduction in the number of times of communication with the database. It is not necessary to perform complicated operations such as registering the movement pattern of the user who holds the device in advance, and it is possible to accurately detect the position where the device has stopped as the destination Therefore, user convenience can be improved.

  (2) Moreover, the portable terminal device of the present invention is based on the stop period, whether the stop state of the own device is a stop state that stops with the movement of the own device, or the result of the movement Determination means for determining whether the destination is staying as a destination to be reached, movement period calculating means for calculating a movement period of the movement state based on the detected transition time, and the stationary state And a counter that resets the number of times counted based on the calculated movement period, and when the determination unit has reached a predetermined number of times, When it is determined that the vehicle is in the staying state, and the detection control unit determines that the vehicle is in the staying state, the position detection unit is driven, and the state when the transition is made from the moving state to the stop state is performed. Of to detect the current position, and a configuration.

When visiting a destination with a vast site that is dotted with many places to stay, such as shrines or temples that are usually dotted with tourist spots and amusement or theme parks that are dotted with attractions or events In addition to the case where the vehicle is stopped at one place on the site for a certain period, it is also assumed that short-term movement and stoppage are continuously performed at various points on the site.
With the above configuration, the portable terminal device of the present invention can be determined as the destination when short-term movement and stoppage are continuously performed at various points in the destination site, and When movement for a certain period or more is performed, it can be determined that the movement is not within the site. Therefore, even when the portable terminal device of the present invention visits a destination having a vast site, it can be accurately determined as a staying state staying at the destination. As a result, the portable terminal device according to the present invention has an overall power consumption such as a reduction in driving time of the current position detection means, a reduction in driving time of the recording medium for constructing the database, or a reduction in the number of times of communication with the database. It is not necessary to perform complicated operations such as registering the movement pattern of the user who holds the device in advance, and it is possible to accurately detect the position where the device has stopped as the destination Therefore, user convenience can be improved.

  (3) Further, the portable terminal device of the present invention is configured so that the stop state of the own device is accompanied by the movement of the own device based on the detected current position and the previous detected position which is the current position detected last time. Determination means for determining whether the stop state is stopped or the staying state is staying as a destination reached as a result of movement, and the recording control means determines that the staying state In such a case, the detected current position is recorded in a database.

  With this configuration, the portable terminal device of the present invention can be determined as a stationary state when a user such as a train, a bus, or an airplane is allowed to move in the real space even when the user is stopped. The residence state of the own machine can be accurately determined. Therefore, the portable terminal device of the present invention reduces the overall power consumption, such as reducing the driving time of the current position detecting means, reducing the driving time of the recording medium for constructing the database, or reducing the number of times of communication with the database. In addition to being able to reduce, it is not necessary to perform complicated operations such as registering the movement pattern of the user holding the machine in advance, and the position where the machine is stopped as the destination can be accurately detected. Therefore, convenience for the user can be improved.

  (4) Moreover, in the portable terminal device of the present invention, when the determination unit detects the current position of the own device, the detected current position is the same position as the previous detection position. Or when it is within a predetermined range, it is determined that the state is the staying state.

  With this configuration, the portable terminal device of the present invention is not determined to be in a staying state when the user such as a train or bus moves in the real space even when the user is in a stopped state. It is possible to detect the stopped position.

  (5) Further, in the portable terminal device of the present invention, the detection control unit drives the position detection unit when the stop period is equal to or longer than a predetermined period, so that the stop state is changed from the moving state. It has the structure which detects the present position of the said own machine at the time of changing to.

  With this configuration, the portable terminal device of the present invention continues for a certain period of time when the user stops moving, for example, when the user eats at a restaurant or when shopping at a department store. If it is, it can be accurately determined that the user stays at the destination.

  (6) In addition, the portable terminal device of the present invention further includes a communication unit that establishes a communication line via the database and the network, and only when the recording control unit detects the detected current position. The communication unit is controlled to record the current position in the database.

  With this configuration, since the portable terminal device of the present invention records the current position in the database only when the detected current position is detected, it is possible to reduce the number of times of recording, and as a result, via the network. Thus, the number of communications when the current position is recorded in the database can also be reduced.

  (7) In order to solve the above-described problem, the current position recording control program of the present invention includes position detection means for detecting the current position of the own apparatus in the real space, and movement stop detection means for detecting movement and stop of the own apparatus. A location registration program executed by a computer installed in a terminal device comprising: a computer that detects a movement state and a stop state of the own device based on the detected movement and stop of the own device. Based on the detected transition time, the time detection means for detecting the transition time from the moving state to the stopped state and the transition state from the stopped state to the moving state based on the detected moving state and the stopped state, based on the detected transition time A stop period calculating means for calculating a stop period in the stop state, driving the position detecting means based on the calculated stop period, and Detection control means for detecting the current position of the own apparatus at the time of transition to serial stop state, and has a structure to function the detected current-position recording control means for recording in the database as.

  With this configuration, the current position recording control program of the present invention, for example, when the stop period is a certain time or more, or when the movement state and the movement state are repeated in a short period even if the stop period is less than a certain time In addition, the current position of the own device can be acquired by driving the position detecting means. Therefore, the current position recording control program of the present invention detects the current position every fixed time, or detects the current position every time the state changes from the moving state to the stopped state or from the stopped state to the moving state. In addition, the number of times of detection of the current position can be reduced, and the number of times of recording the current position in the database can be reduced by significantly reducing the number of times of detection of the current position. As a result, the current position recording control program of the present invention reduces overall driving time, such as reducing the driving time of the current position detecting means, reducing the driving time of the recording medium for constructing the database, or reducing the number of communications with the database. The power can be reduced, and it is not necessary to perform complicated operations such as registering the movement pattern of the user who holds the device in advance, and accurately detect the position where the device has stopped as the destination Therefore, user convenience can be improved.

  (8) In order to solve the above-described problem, the network system of the present invention is a network system including a portable terminal device and at least one server device having a database, and the portable terminal device is in real space. Position detecting means for detecting the current position of the own apparatus, movement stop detecting means for detecting movement and stop of the own apparatus, the current position as point data, and movement stop data of the own apparatus as movement stop data Transmitting means for transmitting to the server device as a receiver, the server device receiving the location data and the movement stop data, and based on the received movement stop data, Based on the state detection means for detecting the stop state and the detected movement state and stop state, the stop state and stop state from the movement state. A time detecting means for detecting a transition time at which the state transitions from a state to a moving state, a stop period calculating means for calculating a stop period of the stop state based on the detected transition time, and a time period for the calculated stop period. Based on the received point data, the detection control means for driving the position detection means based on the detected position and detecting the current position of the own device when transitioning from the moving state to the stopped state Recording control means for searching the database in which location data having coordinate information in the real space is stored in advance, and associating the identification information in the terminal device with the location data having the corresponding coordinate information and recording it in the database It has the composition provided with.

  With this configuration, for example, the network system of the present invention is positioned when the stop period is a certain time or more, or when the movement state and the movement state are repeated in a short period even if the stop period is a certain time or less. The detection unit can be driven to acquire the current position of the own device. Therefore, the network system of the present invention detects the current position at regular intervals, or the current position is detected more than when the current position is detected every time the state changes from the moving state to the stopped state or from the stopped state to the moving state. The number of times of position detection can be reduced, and the number of times of recording the current position in the database can be reduced by significantly reducing the number of times of detection of the current position. As a result, the network system of the present invention reduces the overall power consumption by reducing the driving time of the current position detecting means, the driving time of the recording medium for constructing the database, or the number of times of communication with the database. In addition, it is not necessary to perform complicated operations such as registering the movement pattern of the user who holds the device in advance, and the position where the device has stopped as the destination can be accurately detected. , User convenience can be improved.

  With this configuration, for example, the server system of the present invention is positioned when the stop period is a certain time or more, or when the movement state and the movement state are repeated in a short period even if the stop period is a certain time or less. The detection unit can be driven to acquire the current position of the own device. Therefore, the server system of the present invention detects the current position every fixed time, or the current position is detected more than when the current position is detected every time the state changes from the moving state to the stopped state or from the stopped state to the moving state. The number of times of position detection can be reduced, and the number of times of recording the current position in the database can be reduced by significantly reducing the number of times of detection of the current position.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, the portable terminal device, the current position recording control program, the network system, and the server system according to the present invention are applied to a network system having a portable communication terminal device and a server device. It is a form. Also, in the following description, in the portable communication terminal device, the state where the own device's stop state is stopped as the own device moves is referred to as the “stop state”, and the stop state of the own device is the result of the movement. The state staying as the destination to be reached based on is referred to as “staying state”.

[Network system]
First, the outline of the network system 10 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of the network system 10 in the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the network system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of portable communication terminal devices 100 and a database 60, and records the positions of each portable communication terminal device 100 in the real space as logs. And a server device 50 that performs various controls for the purpose. The plurality of portable communication terminal devices 100 and the server device 50 in the network system 10 are indirectly connected via the base station BS or directly, such as the World Wide Web system provided on the Internet. Each network N can be connected.

  The server apparatus 50 establishes a communication line with the portable communication terminal apparatus 100 based on the request of the portable communication terminal apparatus 100, and is determined as a staying state transmitted from each portable communication terminal apparatus 100 to the database 60. Received data (hereinafter referred to as “residence point data”). And the server apparatus 50 has the structure which matches the received staying point data with the location data which has a name and other information, and records it on the database 60. FIG.

  Each portable communication terminal device 100 has its own machine stop state (that is, a state in which the movement of the user holding the machine itself in the real space has stopped) and its own machine movement state (that is, the user himself / herself is in reality). Detecting the movement in space). Moreover, each portable communication terminal device 100 detects the transition time when the state transitions from the moving state to the stopped state and from the stopped state to the moving state based on the detected moving state and the stopped state, and the detected transition time. Based on the above, a stop state period (hereinafter referred to as “stop period”) and a movement state period (hereinafter referred to as “movement period”) are calculated. In addition, each portable communication terminal device 100 detects the current position of the own device at the time of transition from the moving state to the stopped state based on the calculated stop period. That is, each portable communication terminal device 100 detects the current position of the own device when the mobile unit transitions from the moving state to the stopped state when the stop period is equal to or longer than a certain period.

  In particular, each portable communication terminal device 100 has a time when the mobile state transitions from the moving state to the stopped state (hereinafter referred to as “stop start time”) and a time when the mobile state transitions from the stopped state to the mobile state (hereinafter referred to as “stopped”). When the stop end time is detected while detecting the “end time”), the period from the stop start time detected immediately before to the stop end time is calculated as the stop period. And each portable communication terminal device 100 detects the present position of the own apparatus at the time of changing from a movement state to a stop state, when a stop period is more than a fixed period.

  When each portable communication terminal apparatus 100 detects the current position, the detected current position (hereinafter simply referred to as “current position”) and the position that has already been detected as the current position last time (hereinafter referred to as “previous acquisition position”). Alternatively, when the “previous detection position” is within the same point or within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius of 100 m), it is determined that the stop state of the own device is a staying state at the point. On the other hand, each portable communication terminal device 100, when its own stop period is shorter than a certain period, or when the current position and the previous acquisition position are different even if the stop period is a certain period or more Determines that its own stop state is a stationary state. When each portable communication terminal device 100 determines that the state is a staying state, each portable communication terminal device 100 records the detected current position as a staying point in the database via the server device.

  For example, when the user has stopped moving for a certain period of time, such as when eating at a restaurant, the user stays at the current position detected by the user to achieve a predetermined purpose. Can be estimated. Therefore, each portable communication terminal apparatus 100 calculates a stop period as a determination criterion in order to determine a long-term movement stop at the same point as a stay.

  On the other hand, for example, when the user moves using public transportation such as a train, a taxi, a bus, or an airplane or a private car, each portable communication terminal device 100 is determined to be in a stopped state, and the moving state is determined. Not. However, this stop state does not stop because the destination is reached, but only stops to move to the destination. Therefore, each portable communication terminal device 100 is determined to be in a stationary state without being determined as a staying state when the current position and the previous acquisition position are different even in a long-term stopped state. .

  On the other hand, each portable communication terminal device 100 counts the number of times of the stationary state, and determines that the determined stationary state is the staying state when the counter reaches a predetermined number of times. Each portable communication terminal apparatus 100 calculates a period from the previous stop end time to the stop start time in the stopped state as a movement period, and counts when the calculated movement period is a certain period or more. Reset the number of times

  For example, if a user visits a large site such as a shrine, a Buddhist pavilion facility, or a theme park, various points within the site can be used rather than moving to the same site for a long period of time. In short, short-term movement and stoppage are continuously performed. Therefore, if the vehicle is not stopped for a certain period or longer, it is not determined that the vehicle is in a staying state. Therefore, the current position may not be detected or registered at these destinations. Therefore, each portable communication terminal device 100 stays at the same place when the short-term movement and the stop are repeated even if the movement is not stopped for a long time at the same point. In order to determine that the vehicle has stopped, the stationary state is counted, and when the number of counts reaches a certain number, the state is determined to be the staying state. However, when the movement period becomes long, it can no longer be assumed that the user is moving within these destinations, and the count of the staying state is reset.

  With such a configuration, the network system 10 and each portable communication terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment detect the current position every predetermined time, or the state is changed from the moving state to the stopped state or from the stopped state to the moving state. The number of times of detection of the current position can be reduced as compared with the case where the current position is detected every transition, and the number of times of recording the current position in the database is also reduced by significantly reducing the number of times of detection of the current position. Can be done.

  Therefore, the network system 10 and each portable communication terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment can reduce the driving time of the current position detecting unit, the driving time of the recording medium for constructing the database, or the number of times of communication with the database. It is possible to reduce overall power consumption, etc., and there is no need to perform complicated operations such as registering the movement pattern of the user who holds the machine in advance, and the machine is stopped as the destination accurately. Therefore, the convenience for the user can be improved.

[Portable communication terminal device]
(1) Outline of Portable Communication Terminal Device Next, an outline of each portable communication terminal device 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of each portable communication terminal device 100 of the present embodiment.

Each portable communication terminal device 100 cooperates with each hardware of the communication control unit 110, the current position detection unit 120, the movement stop detection unit 130, the display unit 150, and the timer 160 to detect the current position of its own device. And a data processing unit 200 for executing a program (hereinafter referred to as “current position detection / recording control program”) for recording the current position in the database 60 as a staying point. In particular, the data processing unit 200 is a process executed by a current position detection / recording control program (hereinafter referred to as “current position detection / recording control process”).
(A) a state determination process for determining the state of the own machine based on the output of the movement stop detection unit 130;
(B) The state transition from the stop state of the own device to the moving state and the state transition from the moving state to the stop state are detected, and the time at the time of the state transition is detected in conjunction with the timer 160. A detection process for detecting a stop start time and a stop end time (hereinafter referred to as “state detection and time detection process”);
(C) a calculation process for calculating a stop period and a movement period of the own machine based on the detected stop start time and stop end time;
(D) Detection that causes the current position detection unit 120 to detect the current position when the stop period of the own apparatus is equal to or longer than a certain period or when the stop state of the own apparatus is determined to be the staying state in the processing described later.

(E) Based on whether or not the detected current position is the same as the previous acquisition position or within a predetermined range, it is determined whether the own machine is in a staying state or a staying state, A stay determination process for determining that the stop state is a stay state when conditions are satisfied; and
(F) Counting process for counting the number of stationary states and resetting the count number based on the movement period of the own device (G) When it is determined that the state is a staying state, the detected current position is set as the staying point. A recording control process for recording data in the database 60 is executed.

  For example, the communication control unit 110 of the present embodiment constitutes a communication unit of the present invention, and the current position detection unit 120 constitutes a position detection unit of the present invention. Further, for example, the movement stop detection unit 130 of the present embodiment constitutes a movement stop detection unit or a state detection unit of the present invention, and the data processing unit 200 includes the time detection unit, the state detection unit, and the time detection unit of the present invention. , Stop period calculation means, movement period calculation means, detection control means, determination means, and counter.

  Furthermore, each portable communication terminal device 100 has various necessary members such as a microphone, a speaker, and an e-mail transmission / reception function when having a mail function such as a telephone function and e-mail. The above units are connected to each other by a bus B, and exchange of data is executed.

(2) Configuration of Portable Communication Terminal Device Next, the configuration of each portable communication terminal device 100 of the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 2 described above.

  The communication control unit 110 constructs a communication line with the server device 50 through the base station BS connected to the network N under the control of the data processing unit 200, and records various data for recording the staying point data in the database 60. Send and receive data.

  The current position detection unit 120 detects a satellite signal (GPS signal) transmitted from a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite at a predetermined timing under the control of the data processing unit 200. Then, the current position detection unit 120 calculates (that is, detects) coordinate values (for example, latitude and longitude) of the current position of the own device based on the detected GPS signal, and provides the calculated value to the data processing unit 200.

  Specifically, the current position detection unit 120 detects the coordinate values of the latitude and longitude of the current position of the own device under the control of the data processing unit 200. Then, the current position detection unit 120 provides the detected coordinate value to the data processing unit 200. However, if each portable terminal device has a telephone function, it calculates (detects) its current location based on the direction and radio field intensity received at the telephone base station. Also good.

  The movement stop detector 130 is formed of an acceleration sensor that detects the vibration of the own device. When the own device is vibrating, that is, when the user holding the own device is in a moving state. A signal of a predetermined level (hereinafter also referred to as “output signal”) is output to the data processing unit 200. For example, the movement stop detection unit 130 operates for 10 seconds every 30 seconds, and outputs a signal of a predetermined level when in the movement state during the operation.

  The movement stop detection unit 130 does not need to be a vibration sensor, and may be any device that can detect the movement and stop of the own device. In addition, when the data processing unit 200 receives a signal of a predetermined signal level, the data processing unit 200 determines that the own device is in a moving state, and if the signal is not received or has received the signal, If it is lower than the signal level, it is determined that the aircraft is in a stopped state.

  The data processing unit 200 realizes a current position detection / recording control process executed by a current position detection / recording control program. For example, the data processing unit 200 executes the current position detection / recording control program recorded in the ROM / RAM 190 and links the various parts of the portable communication terminal device 100 to perform various types in the above-described current position detection / recording control process.

Further, for example, the calculation processing unit 230 of the present embodiment constitutes a stop period calculation unit and a movement period calculation unit of the present invention, and the stay determination processing unit 240 configures a determination unit of the present invention. Further, for example, the count processing unit 250 of the present embodiment constitutes a determination unit and a counter of the present invention, and the recording control processing unit 260 constitutes a recording control unit of the present invention.

  The display unit 150 has an image display area of a predetermined size, and is configured by, for example, a panel of a liquid crystal element or an EL (Electro Luminescence) element, and displays a predetermined image based on display data generated by the display control unit 140. It is supposed to be displayed.

  The display control unit 140 generates display data necessary for causing the display unit 150 to draw a predetermined image under the control of the terminal management control unit 180 or under the control of the data processing unit 200. The generated display data is output to the display unit 150.

  The timer 160 manages the current time via the network N in conjunction with a time adjustment server device 50 (not shown). In addition, the timer 160 provides the data processing unit 200 with the current time when requested based on the request from the data processing unit 200 as data.

  The operation unit 170 includes various confirmation buttons, operation buttons for inputting operation commands, a number of keys such as a numeric keypad, and a touch sensor formed on the display unit 150, and is used when performing each operation. It has become. Specifically, the operation unit 170 is used when starting or ending the current position detection / recording control program.

  The terminal management control unit 180 is mainly configured by a central processing unit (CPU) and includes various input / output ports such as a key input port and a display control port. A general function for executing the current position detection / recording control program is comprehensively controlled.

  The ROM / RAM 190 has various memory control functions and records various control programs for functioning as the portable communication terminal device 100. The ROM / RAM 190 is used as a work area when various processes are executed while a current position detection / recording control program is recorded.

(3) Details of Data Processing Unit Next, the configuration of the data processing unit 200 of the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 2 described above.

  The state determination unit 210 receives the signal output from the movement stop detection unit 130, and determines that the own device is in a moving state when receiving an output signal of a predetermined level or higher. Moreover, the state determination part 210 determines with the own apparatus being a stop state, when the output signal is not received or when the output signal lower than a predetermined level is received.

  In particular, the state determination unit 210 detects a stopped state and a moving state based on the received output signal, and when the state transition from the stopped state to the moving state (that is, when the user holding the own device starts moving) ) And when the own device changes state from the stopped state to the moving state (that is, when the user holding the own device stops).

  In addition, the state determination unit 210 is interlocked with the timer 160, and the time (stop end time) when the own device makes a state transition from the stopped state to the moving state (hereinafter also referred to as “stop-moving change”), It detects the time (stop start time) when the own device makes a state transition from the stopped state to the moving state (hereinafter also referred to as “movement-stop change”), and provides each to the calculation processing unit 230. The state determination unit 210 stores the detected stop start time and stop end time in the ROM / RAM 190, respectively.

  The calculation processing unit 230 operates in conjunction with the state determination unit 210, based on the stop start time and stop end time provided by the state determination unit 210 or stored in the ROM / RAM 190. Calculate the travel period. Specifically, when a stop-moving change is detected by the state determination unit 210, the calculation processing unit 230 is stored in the ROM / RAM 190 from the stop end time provided by the state determination unit 210. The stop period is calculated by subtracting the stop start time at the start of the stop state, and the stop period is stored in the ROM / RAM 190.

  In addition, when the state determination unit 210 detects a movement-stop change, the calculation processing unit 230 determines the state determination unit 210 from the stop end time at the end of the previous stop state stored in the ROM / RAM 190. The movement start time is calculated by subtracting the stop start time provided by, and the movement time is stored in the ROM / RAM 190.

  The detection control unit 220 causes the current position detection unit 120 to detect the current position of the own device based on the stop period provided from the calculation processing unit 230. Specifically, the detection control unit 220 compares the stop period calculated by the calculation processing unit 230 with a preset set period, and determines that the current position is detected when it is determined that the stop period is equal to or greater than the set period. The unit 120 is driven to cause the current position detection unit 120 to detect the current position, and the detected current position is stored in the ROM / RAM 190.

  In addition, the detection control unit 220 drives the current position detection unit 120 and determines that the current position detection unit 120 has the current position when the repeated stop state is determined to be the staying state in the process of the stay determination processing unit 240. And the detected current position is stored in the ROM / RAM 190.

  Based on the current position detected by the control of the detection control unit 220 and the previous acquisition position that is the current position detected last time and is already stored in the ROM / RAM 190, the stay determination processing unit 240 It is determined whether the stop state is a stop state or a stay state.

  Specifically, the stay determination processing unit 240 determines whether or not the detected current position and the current acquisition position are the same or within a predetermined range, and the detected current position and the current acquisition position are determined. Are the same or within a predetermined range, it is determined that the user is staying at the point. Then, the staying determination processing unit 240 determines that the staying state is present.

  In addition, the stay determination processing unit 240 determines that the stop period is shorter than a certain period or determines that the stop period is not a stay state (that is, determines that the stop period is a stop state). In the case), the count number of the count processing unit 250 is checked to determine whether or not the number of stops is equal to or greater than a certain number. Then, the stay determination processing unit 240 determines that the repeated stop state is the stay state when it is determined that the number of stops is a predetermined number or more.

  When the detection control unit 220 determines that the stop period is shorter than a certain period, or when the determination result in the stay determination processing unit 240 is a stop state, the count processing unit 250 Count. That is, the count processing unit 250 increases the number of counts by “+1” when the user is in a stopped state within the minimum stay period or when the user is in a stopped state. Further, the count processing unit 250 receives the movement period calculated by the calculation processing unit 230, and resets the number of counters when the movement period is equal to or longer than a certain period.

  The recording control processing unit 260 establishes a communication line with the server device 50 in cooperation with the communication control unit 110 when the staying determination processing unit 240 determines that the staying state is present, and the staying point data corresponding to the database 60. Remember.

[Server device]
Next, the server apparatus 50 of this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 3 is an example of various data structures stored in the database 60 of the present embodiment.

  The server device 50 includes a database 60, which is mainly composed of a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and a hard disk. The server device 50 communicates data with the portable communication terminal device 100, manages the database 60, and Manage location data. For example, control information for executing each function is recorded in the ROM, and various programs such as a control program or an OS (Operating System) are recorded in the hard disk. In addition, the CPU implements the various functions described above by executing a program recorded on the hard disk, and the RAM is used as a work area.

  In the database 60, location data and user data associated with the staying point are stored in advance, and when the staying point data transmitted from the corresponding portable communication terminal device 100 is received, the user ID (that is, portable) The identification information in the communication terminal device) and the data associated with the location ID are stored as registration data.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, location data associated with a staying point is stored in the database 60 in advance. Each location data includes a location ID, a location name, a latitude, a longitude, and a registration date for each location data. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, user data registered in advance is recorded in the server device 50. Each user data includes attribute information such as a user ID, a user name, age, sex, and registration date. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3C, the database 60 sequentially stores registration data in which the location ID in the corresponding location data is associated with the user ID (that is, identification information in the portable communication terminal device). .

  By having such a configuration, the server device 50 establishes the communication line of the portable communication terminal device 100 and receives the user when receiving the recording request for the staying point data from each portable communication terminal device 100. The ID (that is, the identification information in the portable communication terminal device) is specified, and the location data closest to the coordinate value of the received staying point data or position information within a predetermined range (that is, latitude and longitude) The location data is searched from the database, and the registration data is stored in the database 60 based on the location ID and user ID in the corresponding location data.

[First current position detection / recording control process]
Next, a current position detection / recording control process executed by each portable communication terminal apparatus 100 with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, which is a simple process (hereinafter referred to as “first current The “position detection / recording control process” will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart (part 1) showing the operation of the first current position detection / recording control process, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart (part 2) showing the operation of the first current position detection / recording control process. It is.

  In this operation, the operation is switched to the second current position detection / recording control process including the count process when the operation is started. In this operation, it is assumed that the power of the portable communication terminal device 100 has already been turned on, and the database 60 has an area for recording the staying point data corresponding to the own device. To do.

  First, when an instruction to start the first current position detection / recording control process of the operation unit 170 is detected (step S100), the terminal management control unit 180 performs a current current position for executing the first current position detection / recording control process. The position detection / recording control program is executed, and initialization processing such as securing a work area in the ROM / RAM 190 and resetting each information to be recorded is executed (step S101).

  At this time, the data processing unit 200 constructs the state determination unit 210, the detection control unit 220, the calculation processing unit 230, the stay determination processing unit 240, the count processing unit 250, and the recording control processing unit 260. Further, the state determination unit 210 acquires the current time from the timer 160 as the stop start time and stores it in the ROM / RAM 190.

  Next, the state determination unit 210 determines whether or not the own device has transitioned to the movement state based on the output signal output from the movement stop detection unit 130 (step S102). At this time, when the state determination unit 210 determines that the state has not changed to the moving state, the state determination unit 210 waits for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) (step S103) and returns to the process of step S102. On the other hand, when the state determination unit 210 determines that the state has changed to the moving state in the process of step S103, the state determination unit 210 detects the time at the time of detection as the stop end time in conjunction with the timer 160 (step S104). The state determination unit 210 stores the stop end time in the ROM / RAM 190.

  Next, the calculation processing unit 230 subtracts the stop end time detected by the process of step S105 from the immediately preceding stop start time (that is, the stop start time stored in the ROM / RAM 190), and uses the result as the stop period. The data is stored in the ROM / RAM 190 (step S105).

  Next, the detection control unit 220 compares the stop period calculated by the process of step S105 with a preset minimum stay period (for example, “5 minutes”) to determine whether the stop period is equal to or greater than the minimum stay period. Determination is made (step S106). At this time, when it is determined that the stop period is equal to or longer than the minimum stay period, the stay determination processing unit 240 proceeds to the process of step S107 and when it is determined that the stop period is shorter than the minimum stay period. Shifts to the process of step S109.

  Next, in the process of step S106, when the detection control unit 220 determines that the stop period is equal to or longer than the minimum residence period, the current position detection unit 120 detects the current position (that is, the coordinate value) of the own device ( The information is stored in the ROM / RAM 190 (step S107). At this time, the detection control unit 220 updates and records the current position information already stored in the ROM / RAM 190 as the previous acquisition position.

  Next, the stay determination processing unit 240 determines whether or not the current position acquired in the process of step S107 and the previous acquired position already stored in the ROM / RAM 190 are the same (or within a predetermined range) coordinate values. Is determined (step S108). At this time, if the stay determination processing unit 240 determines that the current position and the previous acquisition position are not the same (or within a predetermined range) coordinate values, the stay determination processing unit 240 proceeds to the process of step S109 and acquires the current position and the previous acquisition. If it is determined that the position is the same (or within a predetermined range), the process proceeds to step S110.

  Next, the stay determination processing unit 240 stops when the detection control unit 220 determines that the current position and the previous acquisition position are the same (or within a predetermined range) coordinate values in the process of step S108. The database 60 determines that the state is a staying state (step S110), connects the server device 50 and the communication line via the communication control unit 110, and uses the current position information (staying point data) acquired together with the user ID as a staying point. (Step S111). The database 60 stores registration data in which a place ID and a user ID are associated with each other based on the received staying point data.

  In addition, when the stay determination processing unit 240 determines in the process of step S106 that the stop period is equal to or longer than the minimum stay period, or in the process of step S108, the current position and the previous acquisition position are the same (or If it is determined that the coordinate value is not within the predetermined range, the stop state is determined to be a stop state (step S109), and the process proceeds to step S112.

  Next, the state determination unit 210 determines that the own device has transitioned to the stop state based on the output signal output from the movement stop detection unit 130 (step S112). At this time, when it is determined that the state determination unit 210 has not transitioned to the stop state, the state determination unit 210 waits for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) (step S113), and returns to the process of step S112. On the other hand, when it is determined that the state determination unit 210 has transitioned to the stop state in the process of step S112, the time at the time of detection is detected as the stop start time in conjunction with the timer 160 (step S114). The state determination unit 210 stores the stop start time in the ROM / RAM 190.

  Finally, the terminal management control unit 180 determines whether or not an instruction to end the first current position detection / recording control process has been detected by the operation unit 170 (step S115), and when the end instruction has not been detected. In step S102, when the end instruction is detected, the end process is executed (step S116) to end the operation. When the end of the program is detected via the operation unit 170 during the execution of this operation, the terminal management control unit 180 stores the flag in the ROM / RAM 190, and in the process of step S115, A process for checking the flag is executed to determine whether or not an end instruction is detected.

  For example, the user starts this operation at the point A, moves on the train from the station B to the station C while walking from the point A to the station B, and eats at the destination (restaurant) D for 1 hour. When the first current position detection / recording control process is executed on the route to return home E later, the following operation is performed.

(A) When the user starts walking from the point A toward the station B, when the user starts walking from the station C toward the destination D, and when the user starts walking from the destination D toward the home E, When started, it is detected that the own device has transitioned from the stopped state to the moving state.

(B) While the user is walking on the route from the point A to the station B, from the station C to the destination D, and from the destination D to the home E, the movement state of the own device is detected.

(C) In the case of being stopped by a signal or the like in the route from the point A to the station B, from the station C to the destination D, and from the destination D to the home E, the minimum stay period (for example, 30 minutes) is set. Since it does not exceed, all the stop states are determined to be the stop state, and the current position detection unit 120 does not operate and the operation stop state is maintained. In addition, since the current position detection unit 120 does not operate, each stop point is not registered in the database 60, and a communication operation for that purpose does not occur.

(D) On the route from station B to station C, the current position acquired at station B and the current position acquired at station C are the same (or predetermined) even in a stopped state exceeding the minimum residence period. Not within range). That is, in this stop state, the current position detection unit 120 operates at both the station B and the station C to acquire the current position, but the acquired current position and the ROM / RAM 190 are already stored. Since the current position (previously acquired position) is not the same, the current position is determined as a stop point. For this reason, the acquired current position is not registered in the database 60, and a communication operation for that purpose does not occur.

(E) At the destination D, since the meal is taken for 1 hour, the minimum stay period is exceeded. Therefore, the stop state at the destination D is determined as a staying state, and the point is stored in the database 60 as a staying point.

[Second current position detection / recording control process]
Next, a current position detection / recording control process executed by each portable communication terminal apparatus 100 with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, including the above-described counting process (hereinafter referred to as “second current position detection / Recording control process ”) will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart (part 1) showing the operation of the second current position detection / recording control process, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart (part 2) showing the operation of the second current position detection / recording control process. It is.

  In this operation, the operation is switched to the first current position detection / recording control process in which the counting process is omitted when the operation is started. In this operation, it is assumed that the power of the portable communication terminal device 100 has already been turned on, and the database 60 has an area for recording the staying point data corresponding to the own device. To do.

  First, when an instruction to start the second current position detection / recording control process is detected by the operation unit 170 (step S200), the terminal management control unit 180 performs a current current position for executing the second current position detection / recording control process. The position detection / recording control program is executed, and initialization processing such as securing the work area in the ROM / RAM 190 and resetting each information to be recorded is executed in the same manner as the first current position detection / recording control process (step S201). .

  At this time, the data processing unit 200 constructs the state determination unit 210, the detection control unit 220, the calculation processing unit 230, the stay determination processing unit 240, the count processing unit 250, and the recording control processing unit 260. Further, the state determination unit 210 acquires the current time from the timer 160 as the stop start time and stores it in the ROM / RAM 190.

  Next, the state determination unit 210 determines whether or not the own device has transitioned to the movement state based on the output signal output from the movement stop detection unit 130 (step S202). At this time, if it is determined that the state has not changed to the moving state, the state determination unit 210 waits for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) (step S203), and returns to the process of step S202. On the other hand, when the state determination unit 210 determines that the state has changed to the moving state in the process of step S203, the state determination unit 210 detects the time at the time of detection as the stop end time in conjunction with the timer 160 (step S204). The state determination unit 210 stores the stop end time in the ROM / RAM 190.

  Next, the calculation processing unit 230 subtracts the stop end time detected by the process of step S205 from the immediately preceding stop start time (that is, the stop start time stored in the ROM / RAM 190), and uses the result as the stop period. Store in the ROM / RAM 190 (step S205).

  Next, the detection control unit 220 compares the stop period calculated by the process of step S205 with a preset minimum stay period (for example, “5 minutes”) to determine whether or not the stop period is smaller than the minimum stay period. Is determined (step S206). At this time, if the detection control unit 220 determines that the stop period is equal to or longer than the minimum stay period, the detection control unit 220 proceeds to the process of step S207, and if it is determined that the stop period is shorter than the minimum stay period. The process proceeds to step S209.

  Next, when the detection control unit 220 determines in the process of step S206 that the stop period is equal to or longer than the minimum residence period, the current position detection unit 120 detects the current position (that is, the coordinate value) of the own device ( The information is stored in the ROM / RAM 190 (step S207). At this time, the detection control unit 220 updates and records the current position information already stored in the ROM / RAM 190 as the previous acquisition position.

  Next, the staying determination processing unit 240 determines whether or not the current position acquired in step S207 and the previous acquired position already stored in the ROM / RAM 190 are the same (or within a predetermined range) coordinate values. Is determined (step S208). At this time, if the stay determination processing unit 240 determines that the current position and the previous acquisition position are not the same (or within a predetermined range) coordinate values, the process proceeds to step S209, where the current position and the previous acquisition position are acquired. If it is determined that the position is the same coordinate value (or within a predetermined range), the process proceeds to step S214.

  When the detection control unit 220 determines that the stop period is not longer than the minimum stay period in the process of step S206, or the stay determination processing unit 240 determines whether the current position and the previous acquisition position are in the process of step S208. If it is determined that the coordinate values are not the same (or within a predetermined range), the stop state is determined to be a stationary state (step S209).

  Next, when the stay determination processing unit 240 determines that the stop state is the stop state, the count processing unit 250 adds “1” to the number of counters (step S210).

  Next, the stay determination processing unit 240 determines whether or not the counter count is “3” or more (step S211). At this time, if it is determined that the counter count is “3” or more, the stay determination processing unit 240 proceeds to the process of step S212, and if it is determined that the counter count is smaller than “3”, The process proceeds to S216.

  Next, when the stay determination processing unit 240 determines that the number of counters is “3” or more in the process of step S211, the stay determination processing unit 240 determines that the repetition of a plurality of stop states in the own device is the stay state. (Step S212). At this time, the count processing unit 250 resets the counter count.

  Next, the detection control unit 220 causes the current position detection unit 120 to detect (acquire) the current position (that is, the coordinate value) of the own device, and stores the information in the ROM / RAM 190 (step S213). At this time, the detection control unit 220 updates and records the current position information already stored in the ROM / RAM 190 as the previous acquisition position.

  Next, when the stay determination processing unit 240 determines in the process of step S208 that the current position and the previous acquisition position are the same (or within a predetermined range) coordinate values, or the detection control unit 220 When the current position of the own device is acquired in the process of step S213, the stay determination processing unit 240 determines that the stop state is the stay state (step S214), and communicates with the server device 50 via the communication control unit 110 and the communication line. , The current position information (staying point data) is recorded as a staying point in the database 60 together with the user ID (step S215). The database 60 stores registration data in which a place ID and a user ID are associated with each other based on the received staying point data.

  Next, the state determination unit 210 determines whether or not the own device has transitioned to the stop state based on the output signal output from the movement stop detection unit 130 (step S216). At this time, when it is determined that the state determination unit 210 has not transitioned to the stopped state, the state determination unit 210 waits for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) (step S217), and returns to the process of step S216. On the other hand, when the state determination unit 210 determines that the state has changed to the stop state in the process of step S216, the detection control unit 220 detects the time at the time of detection as the stop start time in conjunction with the timer 160 (step S218). . The state determination unit 210 stores the stop start time in the ROM / RAM 190.

  Next, the calculation processing unit 230 subtracts the stop start time detected by the process of step S215 from the stop end time in the previous stop period (that is, the stop end time stored in the ROM / RAM 190), and obtains the result. The movement period is stored in the ROM / RAM 190 (step S219).

  Next, the stay determination processing unit 240 compares the movement period calculated by the process of step S219 with a preset minimum movement period (for example, “30 minutes”), and determines whether or not the movement period is greater than the minimum movement period. Is determined (step S220). At this time, when it is determined that the movement period is greater than the minimum movement period, the stay determination processing unit 240 proceeds to the process of step S221, and when it is determined that the movement period is equal to or less than the minimum movement period, The process proceeds to S224.

  Next, when the count processing unit 250 determines in the process of step S220 that the movement period is longer than the minimum movement period, the count processing unit 250 resets the counter count to “0” (step S221), and proceeds to the process of step S224. Transition.

  Finally, the terminal management control unit 180 determines whether or not an end instruction for the second current position detection / recording control process has been detected by the operation unit 170 (step S224), and the end instruction has not been detected. In step S202, when the end instruction is detected, this operation is ended. Similar to the first current position detection / recording control process, if the end of the program is detected via the operation unit 170 during the execution of this operation, the terminal management control unit 180 displays the flag in the ROM / RAM 190 and the process of checking the flag in the process of step S222 is executed to determine whether an end instruction has been detected.

  For example, in the route where the user starts this operation at the point O, passes through the crosswalks P and Q from the point O, visits three sightseeing spots in the temple R for 15 minutes each, and returns to the home S. When the second current position detection / recording control process is executed, the following operation is performed.

(A) When the user starts walking from the point O toward the temple E, stops once at the intersection pedestrian crossings P and Q, and then starts walking toward the temple E, it stops once in the temple R When the walking movement from each tourist spot toward another tourist spot or the home S is started, it is detected that the own aircraft has transitioned from the stopped state to the moving state.

(B) From point O to intersection pedestrian crossing P, between intersection pedestrian crossings PQ, from intersection pedestrian crossing Q to temple E, between each tourist spot in temple E, and from the last tourist spot in temple R to home S While the user is walking on the route, the movement state of the own device is detected.

(C) Since the stop states at the intersection pedestrian crossings P and Q and the tourist spots of the temple R do not exceed the minimum stay period (for example, 30 minutes), all the stop states are determined to be stop states. The current position detection unit 120 does not operate and the operation stop state is maintained. In addition, since the current position detection unit 120 does not operate, each stop point is not registered in the database 60, and a communication operation for that purpose does not occur.

(D) Since the moving period from the intersection pedestrian crossing Q to the first tourist spot of the temple E is longer than the minimum moving period, the counter count is reset when the first tourist spot stops. Therefore, even when the movement period between the intersection pedestrian crossings PQ is within the minimum movement period, that is, when the number of counters is “1” when stopping at the intersection pedestrian crossing Q, the number of counters is reset and the number of times Becomes “0”.

(E) When the travel period between each tourist spot in the temple R is less than or equal to the minimum travel period, after the three tourist spots are visited in the temple R, the movement from the last tourist spot toward the home S is started. The number of counters is “3”. Therefore, each stop state in the temple R is finally determined as a staying state, and the point (that is, the temple) is stored in the database 60 as a staying point.

  As described above, the network system 10 and the portable communication terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment detect the current position every predetermined time, or whenever the state transitions from the moving state to the stopped state or from the stopped state to the moving state. The number of times of detection of the current position can be reduced as compared with the case of detecting the position, and the number of times of recording the current position in the database 60 can be reduced by significantly reducing the number of times of detection of the current position. . Therefore, the network system 10 and the portable communication terminal device 100 of the present embodiment reduce the operation time of the current position detection unit 120, reduce the drive time of the recording medium that constructs the database, or the number of times of communication with the database 60. It is possible to reduce overall power consumption, such as reduction, and it is not necessary to perform complicated operations such as registering the movement pattern of the user who holds the machine in advance, and the machine itself is the destination Since the stopped position can be detected, the convenience for the user can be improved.

  In addition, the network system 10 and the portable communication terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment are determined as the destination when short-term movement and stoppage are continuously performed at various points in the destination site. It is possible to determine that the movement is not within the site if the movement is performed for a certain period or longer. Therefore, even when the network system 10 and the portable communication terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment visit a destination having a large site, the network system 10 and the portable communication terminal device 100 can accurately determine the staying state staying at the destination. .

  In addition, the network system 10 and the portable communication terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment are determined to be in a stopped state when a user such as a train, a bus, or an airplane can move in a real space even when the user is in a stopped state. Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine the staying state of the own machine.

  Moreover, the network system 10 and the portable communication terminal device 100 of this embodiment are the points where the stop of the user's movement is stopped, for example, when the user has a meal at a restaurant or is shopping at a department store. If it continues for a certain period, it can be accurately determined that the user stays at the destination.

  In addition, since the network system 10 and the portable communication terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment record the staying point in the database 60 only when it is determined as the staying state, it is possible to reduce the number of times of recording. When the staying point is recorded in the database 60 via the network N, the number of communications can be reduced.

The portable communication terminal device 100 of the present embodiment has a data processing unit 200 and stores the staying point data in the database 60 in conjunction with the current position detection unit 120, the movement stop detection unit 130, and the timer 160. However, each function of the data processing unit 200 may be provided in the server device 50, and the current position detection / recording control process may be executed while interlocking with the server device 50 via the communication control unit 110.
