Description

  The present invention creates a travel plan using a wide area communication network (for example, the Internet), a position information system (for example, GPS (Global Positioning System) / Assisted GPS) and two-way communication (for example, a telephone line), When traveling, the traveler is navigated (guided or guided), but the traveler is not informed of the specific route, transportation, and destination facilities of the created travel plan, and is implicit on the day of travel. The present invention relates to a travel support system that provides a so-called mystery tour that navigates by keyword.

  To create a traditional travel plan, take a tour on a tour prepared by a travel agency, or decide all meals and accommodations by means of transportation by yourself, or listen to the advice of a travel agency advisor It was a thing. In such a conventional travel plan creation method, there is a tendency to concentrate on a popular tourist spot or a tourist spot that is booming.

  In recent years, with the spread of the Internet and the like, the number of choices has increased, making it easier for travelers to save time and trouble by visiting a travel agency to create a plan. On the other hand, commercial and tourist facilities are making efforts to acquire new customers by publishing information on their own facilities on the Internet, but if the evaluations made by users are posted, attracting customers to popular facilities There was a tendency to be biased.

  In addition, the traveler can obtain enough information about the target facility from the videos, photos, and word-of-mouth information posted on the Internet at the time the travel plan is decided. The expectation and feeling of excitement will be reduced.

  In view of the above problems, the invention of Patent Document 1 is disclosed.

  Since all of the travel plans, such as where to go next, are already known by the previous day, Patent Document 1 has been developed to solve the conventional problem in which it is difficult to obtain excitement when the user is guided on the road. When creating a travel plan, only the departure date, return date, date and cost of the meeting place and dissolution location are notified to the user, and the specific process and the target facility are not notified until the day. Is to sustain.

JP 2014-142784 A Japanese Patent No. 473930 JP 2002-245132 A

  However, since Patent Document 1 does not notify the travel plan until the departure date, it is possible to select a region or facility without being biased to popularity, and it is possible to guide to a tourist facility that seeks to acquire new customers. There is no specific means to maintain and revitalize the facilities. In addition, when you go to the meeting place on the departure day, you will receive air tickets, boarding tickets, and reservation slips for receiving services at your destination, so that the full picture of the travel plan will be revealed before departure and a sense of hope and excitement. Will be halved.

  In order to solve the problem that the feeling of expectation and excitement of Patent Document 1 is halved, when a means that does not notify the traveler of a specific process or destination facility is adopted, the guidance of the traveler after departure is important. It becomes a problem. The following is disclosed as an invention for guiding a traveler.

  In Patent Document 2, a mobile terminal possessed by a traveler detects the current position using GPS, displays the current position and a previously created route superimposed on a map in time series, and displays the current position. It is a navigation terminal that visually presents the route from the target facility to the target facility. There is a means for correcting the route even when there is a return or stagnation. In addition, there is means for notifying the user when the distance to the target facility approaches a preset distance.

  Patent Document 3 uses a GPS or other position detection means to track a communication terminal possessed by a traveler to track whether the traveler is moving on a schedule according to a schedule. When travel is not started at the time, the travel support system issues a warning to the traveler's communication terminal and transmits a message to return to the correct route.

  Both of the above-mentioned two documents are a guide for a traveler who specifies the process or the destination facility, and specifically notifies the traveler of the route correction method and the route to the destination facility. However, in order to maintain a sense of expectation and excitement when the process and the target facility are not disclosed, even if it is an implicit method, a precise route correction is made so that the traveler can quickly return to the normal route. There is a problem that must be presented to travelers.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides an opportunity for activation with fairness to all tourist destinations, and is also safe for travelers without diminishing their sense of expectation and excitement.

Each unit is connected by a data bus, and information data can be distributed.

  The computing unit 122 creates a mystery tour plan based on the information input from the travel applicant terminal 14 and stores it in the information table. Further, calculation such as creation of a ciphertext for guidance is performed, and if necessary, it is stored in an information table.

  The storage unit 124 stores an information table for managing mystery tours, and performs input / output as appropriate in response to a request from the calculation unit 122. The information table stored in the storage unit 124 includes, for example, a facility information table that stores facility information necessary for a mystery tour, and a desired travel information that stores information on the contents of travel necessary for a travel applicant to create a mystery tour plan. A table, a travel plan table storing information of a mystery tour plan created by the travel applicant created by the calculation unit 122, and a transportation guide and a facility name stored in advance with a keyword for travel guidance. It is a keyword conversion table.

  The generated mystery tour plan data is output from the communication unit 128 to the travel applicant terminal 14 via the output unit 126 and presented to the travel applicant. When the display unit is provided, the output unit 126 outputs information necessary for system operation to the display unit and presents the information to the operator. If an input unit is provided, the operator can input information necessary for system operation.

  In addition, according to the determined mystery tour plan, the arithmetic unit 122 communicates with the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 possessed by the traveler via the communication unit 128 on the day of travel, and the location information of the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 , And travel information during the process entered by the traveler is acquired. Based on the acquired position information and travel information, contents to be instructed to the traveler are input from the travel plan data, and a ciphertext is created by referring to the keyword conversion table.

  The output unit 126 presents it to the traveler via the communication unit 128 and guides to the destination facility.

  When the calculation unit 122 determines that the route has deviated from the route, a correction route for returning to the route of the original plan in the shortest is searched, and a ciphertext is created by referring to the keyword conversion table. The output unit 126 presents it to the traveler via the communication unit 128 and guides it to the initial plan route.

The travel applicant terminal 14 includes at least a travel applicant terminal transmitting means for controlling communication with the input unit 141, the calculation unit 142, the storage unit 143, the output unit 144, the display unit 145, and the Internet 28, and the travel applicant. It is comprised by the communication part 146 provided with the terminal receiving means for business. Each unit is connected by a data bus, and information data can be distributed. Desired travel information necessary for creating a mystery tour is input, displayed, and communicated with the travel support server 12 via the Internet 28. In addition, the mystery tour plan transmitted from the travel support server 12 is displayed to the travel requester to confirm whether or not it is registered.
For example, a notebook personal computer or a desktop personal computer may be used as the travel applicant terminal 14, but a multifunctional information portable communication terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal may be used. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  The input unit 141 is a keyboard, a touch panel, or the like, and includes a desired travel information input unit that performs an input operation regarding various information necessary when a travel applicant requests the travel support server 12 to create a mystery tour plan.

  The calculation unit 142 calculates the input information and converts it into data that can be transmitted to the travel support server 12.

  The memory | storage part 143 preserve | saves the input information and the information transmitted from the travel assistance server 12, and outputs various information according to a request | requirement.

  The output unit 144 outputs the result calculated by the calculation unit 142 to the display unit 145 and the communication unit 146.

  The display unit 145 includes a travel information notification unit that displays a registration screen as a tool for easily inputting desired travel information necessary for creating a mystery tour and displays information transmitted from the travel support server 12. In addition, information on the mystery tour is displayed as necessary.

3a to 3d are examples of the desired travel information input screen according to the present invention.
The travel applicant inputs basic information of the mystery tour from the input unit 141 in accordance with the desired travel information input main screen 1451.
On the desired travel information input main screen 1451, whether or not it is a small trip, scheduled departure date, departure time, purpose setting, presence of accommodation, meal setting, desired travel time, travel clearance time, desired travel distance, start station (even at the position) Good), input regarding the transportation expense budget, the excluded area, and the carrier of the portable communication terminal 22 for guidance.
When there is a downward triangle on the right side of the square frame in the figure, click the triangle to select the displayed content (pull-down menu), or enter characters or numbers directly It is good. In addition, there is a method of selecting from the context menu, and the method is not limited to any one.
If there is a selection button, click the white circle to select the desired item.

The excursion is selected for a day trip or a walk around the nearest station immediately from the current location. When a short trip is selected, no accommodation is automatically set.
If the scheduled departure date is set to the current day and the departure time is set to the current time, it is set for a short trip that immediately takes a walk around the nearest station from the current position. In that case, the start station (position) is automatically set to the current position. Set to
For excursions, it is also possible to take a walk around the nearest station from the current location by interrupting the plan created by the travel support server 12 using the travel time of the mystery tour plan.

  The mystery tour is based on guiding a day trip or a two-day trip with encrypted keywords. This is because the traveler's prior input becomes complicated when the travel period becomes longer. However, a multi-night tour may be prepared for advanced mystery tours.

  The desired travel information input sub-screen (accommodation) 1452, desired travel information input sub-screen (meal) 1453, or desired travel information input sub-screen (tourism) 1454 depending on the input contents of the purpose setting, presence / absence of accommodation and meal setting items Will change and detailed settings will be made. The screen may be a window that pops up on the desired travel information input main screen 1451. The setting contents will be described later.

  The desired travel time and the desired travel distance are the required time and distance of prediction for the mystery tour. In the mystery tour, the travel requester does not set the specific name of the destination facility or the accommodation facility, and the travel support server 12 does not present the travel plan to the travel requester. When it is created, it becomes the most important factor along with the purpose setting, the presence / absence of accommodation, and the transportation budget.

  The travel expense budget is referred to when the travel support server 12 performs a route search according to the contents input in the travel conditions in the screen. In an actual trip, there is a case where an incorrect route is selected when moving, and there are cases where the route does not fall within the inputted transportation cost budget.

  Excluded areas are areas where people want to avoid due to personal circumstances, natural disasters or armed conflicts.

  The communication carrier of the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 is selected. This is because the communication area range varies depending on the communication carrier, and the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 is out of the communication area range during the mystery tour. This is to prevent it from being considered in advance at the stage of creating a travel plan.

  The desired travel information input sub-screen (accommodation) 1452, the desired travel information input sub-screen (meal) 1453, and the desired travel information input sub-screen (tourism) 1454 have substantially the same configuration, so the desired travel information input sub-screen (accommodation) 1452 will be described as a representative example.

The items to be input are represented by a gauge (scale) 1456 indicating “favorite items” used as a consideration material when selecting a target facility, in addition to the accommodation budget, the number of users and the number of guest rooms, and the departure time (checkout time). A “preference gauge” 1456 is provided for inputting the degree of preference that the travel applicant desires for the trip, depending on which position on the gauge 1456 the pointer (index) 1457 is moved.
Instead of directly selecting the target facility, the travel support server 12 insists on the desire of the travel applicant to the facility selected by the degree.

  For the “favorite item”, for example, whether to select a popular region that is currently a topic, whether to select a region that is not mentioned in the topic but is a secret region, or whether to select an intermediate region that does not depend on either The item which judges liking by can be considered. In addition, there are items that determine preference depending on whether you choose a place where the atmosphere around the target facility is lively, a place where it is quiet, or an intermediate place that is neither. It is done. These can be related by comparing the number of local tourists and stations arranged in order of ranking using data on the number of tourists visiting the local area and the number of passengers getting off at the nearest destination of the target facility. After extracting the region or station corresponding to the position where the pointer 1457 on the “preference gauge” 1456 is placed, the candidates are narrowed down by selecting the facility in which the region or station is registered in the facility master information. is there. A specific method of using the “preference gauge” 1456 when creating a travel plan in the travel support server 12 will be described later.

  “Preferences” are based on weather data for climate (warm or cold), population data for nature (urban or rural), and culture (historical or modern) Using historical building count data, meals (mountain or seafood) can use product yields to create a “preference gauge” 1456.

The desired travel information input sub-screen (meal) 1453 and the desired travel information input sub-screen (tourism) 1454 include input items according to the characteristics of each facility.
3B to 3D, the same “favorite item” is used in each sub-screen, but it may be different.
For example, in the desired travel information input sub-screen (meal) 1453, it is conceivable that the “favorite gauge” 1456 is changed to the “favorite gauge” 1456, which is the aforementioned seafood or mountain food.

  These are examples of desired travel information input means, and are not limited to those including input items.

  The registered desired travel information is transmitted from the communication unit 146 to the travel support server 12 via the Internet 28, stored in the desired travel information table, and used by the travel plan creation means.

  The traffic information providing server 18 is owned by each transportation facility for managing stations, routes and fare information and operation data, and providing various types of traffic information to users. The travel support server 12 creates a travel plan and guides the traveler based on the information obtained from the traffic information providing server 18.

  The facility terminal 16 includes at least an input unit 161, a calculation unit 162, a storage unit 163, an output unit 164, a display unit 165, and a facility terminal transmission unit and a facility terminal reception unit that perform communication control with the Internet 28. The communication unit 166 is configured to input facility master information necessary for creating a travel plan, display it, and communicate with the travel support server 12 via the Internet 28. For example, it is possible to use a notebook personal computer or a desktop personal computer, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  The input unit 161 includes a facility information input unit that is a keyboard, a touch panel, or the like, and that allows the travel support server 12 to perform input work regarding various types of information related to facilities necessary for creating a mystery tour plan and guiding a traveler.

  The computing unit 162 computes the input information and converts it into data that can be transmitted to the travel support server 12.

  The memory | storage part 163 preserve | saves the input information and the information transmitted from the travel assistance server 12, and outputs various information according to a request | requirement.

  The output unit 164 outputs the result calculated by the calculation unit 162 to the display unit 165 and the communication unit 166.

  The display unit 165 displays a registration screen as a tool for easily creating a mystery tour plan and inputting facility information necessary for traveler guidance, and a facility terminal notification for displaying information transmitted from the travel support server 12 Means. In addition, information on the mystery tour is displayed as necessary.

4a to 4d are examples of facility information input screens according to the present invention.
The person in charge of the facility inputs the basic information of the facility related to the mystery tour from the input unit 161 according to the facility master information input main screen 1651.
On the facility master information input main screen 1651, the facility category selection, whether or not to perform town revitalization registration, facility name, address, telephone number, person in charge name, nearest station, and location area are entered.
As for the input method, when there is a downward triangle on the right side of the square frame in the figure, click the triangle to select the displayed content (pull-down menu), or enter characters or numbers directly Also good. In addition, there is a method of selecting from the context menu, and the method is not limited to any one.
If there is a selection button, click the white circle to select the desired item.

  Depending on the input contents of the facility category selection item, the screen switches to a facility master information input sub-screen (stay) 1652, a facility master information input sub-screen (meal) 1653, and a facility master information input sub-screen (tourism) 1654, and detailed settings are made. Do. The screen may be a window that pops up on the facility master information input main screen 1651. The setting contents will be described later.

  In the town revitalization registration, if you want to revitalize the area within a circle with a predetermined distance as the radius and select the town revitalization registration “required” more than the predetermined number of houses, the area within the circle will be revived. A facility that has selected “necessary” as a region is preferentially registered. However, the priority period will be set to a certain period after reaching the predetermined number of houses, and will return to the normal registered facility when that period ends. This is to reduce the extreme bias of extraction when creating a travel plan. It is necessary to wait for a predetermined period before the town revitalization registration can be performed again. A specific method for registering the town revitalization will be described later.

  The nearest station and location are reference items for data used for ranking when creating the “preference gauge” 1456 described above, and are the most important items when creating a travel plan.

The facility master information input sub-screen (accommodation) 1652, the facility master information input sub-screen (meal) 1653, and the facility master information input sub-screen (tourism) 1654 have substantially the same configuration, so the facility master information input sub-screen (accommodation) ) 1652 will be described as a representative example.
The items to be input are basic information of the facility such as the accommodation category, room fee, meal, basic arrival time (check-in time) basic departure time (check-out time), and the like. In addition, on the registration confirmation screen 1459, it is preferable that a photograph, a feature, and a comment that cannot specify a facility used for giving a hint to a traveler can be input.

  These are examples of facility information input means, and are not limited to those including input items.

  The registered facility master information is transmitted from the communication unit 166 to the travel support server 12 via the Internet 28, and a code number is allocated for each facility category, stored in the facility information table, and used by the travel plan creation means. .

  The guidance mobile communication terminal 22 is provided with current position detection means for detecting the current position by communicating with at least the input unit 221, the calculation unit 222, the storage unit 223, the output unit 224, the display unit 225, and the GPS satellite 26. The communication unit 226 includes a mobile terminal transmission unit and a mobile terminal reception unit that perform communication control via the position detection unit 227 and the Internet 28 and call control using a telephone line. The guidance mobile communication terminal 22 receives a ciphertext for guidance from the travel support server 12 when leaving for a trip, displays it on the display unit 225, and is used to guide the traveler to a destination facility or accommodation facility. It is done. For example, a smart phone or a tablet terminal which is a multifunctional information portable communication terminal can be considered. A smartphone or a tablet terminal can be used as the travel applicant terminal 14 in view of the functions of the smartphone or the tablet terminal. Therefore, there are cases where the travel applicant terminal 14 and the guided mobile communication terminal are the same terminal.

  The input unit 221 is a keyboard, a touch panel, or the like, and includes a movement information input unit that performs an input operation regarding various information on a process necessary when acquiring traveler guidance information from the travel support server 12.

  The computing unit 222 computes input or acquired information and converts it into data that can be transmitted to the travel support server 12. Further, the data transmitted from the travel support server 12 is calculated and converted to displayable.

  The memory | storage part 223 preserve | saves the input information and the information transmitted from the travel assistance server 12, and outputs various information according to a request | requirement.

  The output unit 224 outputs the result calculated by the calculation unit 222 to the display unit 225 and the communication unit 226.

  The display unit 225 displays a map, position information, guidance cipher text necessary for guiding a traveler in a mystery tour, and information transmitted from the travel support server 12 (see FIG. 10). Means. In addition, information on the mystery tour is displayed as necessary.

  The location information acquired by the current location detection unit 227 is transmitted from the communication unit 226 to the travel support server 12 via the Internet 28 and utilized by the traveler guidance means. When the travel support server 12 guides a traveler carrying the guidance mobile communication terminal 22, the travel support server 12 handles the information along with the information that the traveler inputs and transmits, but the traveler can grasp the current position and situation. If not, the position information of the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 obtained from the GPS is particularly necessary as a material for determining whether or not the vehicle has deviated from the regular route.

The mystery tour plan creation sequence will be described below.
FIG. 5a is a main flow of a destination facility search extraction flow in creating a mystery tour plan according to the present invention.
FIG. 5b is a facility extraction flow portion of the target facility search extraction flow in creating the mystery tour plan according to the present invention.
FIG. 5c is a short trip plan creation flow part of the destination facility search extraction flow in the mystery tour plan creation according to the present invention.

  The creation of the mystery tour plan is performed by using the travel support server 12 with the desired travel information input at the travel applicant terminal 14 and the facility information input at the facility terminal 16, various traffic information obtained from the traffic information providing server 18, or Quantitative data regarding regions, regions, stations, etc. obtained via the Internet 28 is used. Desired travel information and facility information are stored in the respective tables and output in the storage unit 124.

The purpose, budget, pointer (index) 1457 of “favorite gauge (scale)” 1456, and desired travel time or desired travel distance are input from the desired travel information table (S10).
The purpose and budget are compared with the facility information registered in the facility information table, and candidate facilities that match the purpose and budget are extracted (S11).
The above is for searching for a target facility based on the facility information (facility search).
Next, candidate facilities that match the desired travel time or desired travel distance are extracted using the desired travel time or desired travel distance and the traffic information on the Internet 28 separately from the previous facility search (S13).
The above is a method for searching for a target facility by placing the subject in movement information (movement search).
It is determined whether there is a candidate facility that is common to the extraction results of the facility search and the mobile search, and a common candidate facility is extracted (S15).

  One of the features of creating this mystery tour plan is to narrow down candidate facilities using the following “preference gauge” 1456.

FIG. 6 is an image of the facility extraction flow according to the present invention using the “preference gauge” 1456.
Hereinafter, the description will be made with reference to FIG.
It is assumed that the travel applicant selects and inputs a sightseeing purpose, a departure place of Sannomiya Station, and a desired travel distance within 100 km.
Further, it is assumed that the travel requester sets the pointer 1457 at the position y in the popularity “favorite gauge” 1456 and sets the pointer 1457 at the position z in the busyness “favorite gauge” 1456.

First, candidate facilities that are common to the facility search and the mobile search are grouped according to the first classification information and ranked (ordered first group group) (S21).
In FIG. 6, the first classification information is a regional classification. The regional classifications reported in the tourism statistics published by each prefectural government every fiscal year are considered as one group. For example, in the Kinki region, they are Fukui Prefecture, Shiga Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, Osaka Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, Nara Prefecture, and Wakayama Prefecture. In the case of Kyoto, the Otokuni region, the Yamashiro region, the Nantan region, the Nakatan region, the Tango region, and the Kyoto city region, and in the case of Osaka Prefecture, the Kita Osaka region, the Eastern Osaka region, and the Minamikawachi region. If you are in Hyogo Prefecture, Kobe, Hanshin Minami, Hanshin Kita, Higashi Harima, Kita Harima, Naka Harima, Nishi Harima, Tajima, Tamba, Classified as Awaji area. The size of the group unit changes depending on the desired travel time or the desired travel distance input by the travel applicant. From the Internet 28, the “annual visitor number of tourists” for the most recent year of the regional group nationwide is obtained.
The first classification information needs to correspond to the degree of popularity of the popularity level “favorite gauge” 1456 or whether it is a secret spot. Therefore, it is set as the scale which measures popularity by the number of sightseeing visits, and arranges the area groups in descending order of the number of visits.

In FIG. 6, these area groups are changed from the a area group to the e area group. In these groups, there must be a facility in which facility master information is registered. Accordingly, the area c group is excluded because there is no facility that has registered facility master information. It is assumed that the number of tourist visitors is in the order of d>b>a> e.
If this is applied to the above desired travel information as a specific example, the desired travel distance is within 100 km, so the regional group is assumed to be a prefecture unit.
When the departure place is Sannomiya Station, the corresponding prefectures are: a region group (Hyogo Prefecture), b region group (Osaka Prefecture), c region group (Okayama Prefecture), d region group (Kyoto Prefecture), e region group (Nara) Prefecture). If this is arranged in order from the prefecture with the highest number of tourists, it would be d area group (Kyoto)> b area group (Osaka)> a area group (Hyogo)> e area group (Nara) To do. This is the first group group that has been ordered. c. Excluded from the absence of registered facilities in the regional group (Okayama Prefecture).
The candidate facilities registered in the facility master information in these groups and extracted in common for the facility search and the movement search are numbers surrounded by a solid circle.

  As shown in “Favorite Gauge” 1456 of B (box) in FIG. 6, the d-group (Kyoto), the b-group (Osaka), and the a-group (Hyogo), which are the first group group that has been ordered. ) 、 E area group (Nara Prefecture) with equal distribution (in this case, distribution of 25% each), the popularity degree “favorite gauge” displayed on the desired travel information input sub-screen of A (enclosed letter) It arranges corresponding to 1456 (S22).

If the travel requester sets the pointer 1457 (y) to indicate 25% on the popularity “favorite gauge” 1456, the boundary between the a region group (Hyogo Prefecture) and the e region group (Nara Prefecture) In this case, it is assumed that the lower group is selected in consideration of regional activation.
Therefore, in FIG. 6, the travel support server 12 selectively extracts the e area group (Nara Prefecture) (first extraction group) (S23).

In the present embodiment, the candidate facilities belonging to the first extraction group are further grouped according to the second classification information to be ranked (ordered second group group) (S24).
In FIG. 6, the second classification information is a station classification. e Grouping is done for each station that the facilities belonging to the regional group (Nara Prefecture) make the nearest station.
The second classification information needs to correspond to the degree of busyness or quietness of the busyness “preference gauge” 1456. Therefore, the station groups are arranged in descending order of the number of people getting off the station.
It is assumed that the station groups formed at this time are the A station group (Yamatoseidaiji station), the I station group (Oji station), the U station group (Gakuenmae station), and the e station group (Kintetsu Nara station). If this is arranged in order from the station with the most people getting off, it becomes E Station Group (Kintetsu Nara Station)> U Station Group (Gakuenmae Station)> I Station Group (Oji Station)> A Station Group (Yamato Nishidaiji Station) To do. This is an ordered second group group (S24).
The candidate facilities registered in the facility master information in these groups and extracted in common for the facility search and the movement search are numbers surrounded by a solid circle. The facilities registered in the town master registration (facility having the priority extraction flag) are shown as double circles.

  As shown in “Favorite Gauge” 1456 of D (enclosed letter) in FIG. 6, the second group group that has been ordered is the D station group (Kintetsu Nara station), the U station group (Gakuenmae station), the Lee station group (Oji Station) and a station group (Yamato Nishidaiji station) with equal distribution (in this case, 25% each), the bustling degree “preference” displayed on the desired travel information input sub-screen of C (enclosed letter) It arranges corresponding to "gauge" 1456 (S25).

If the travel requester indicates that the set pointer 1457 (z) indicates 30% on the busyness “preference gauge” 1456, it indicates that the station group (Oji station) is selected.
Accordingly, in FIG. 6, the travel support server 12 selectively extracts the station group (Oji Station) (second extraction group) (S26).
In FIG. 6, three facilities are extracted.

  In the present embodiment, the target facilities are extracted and narrowed down using two “preference gauges” 1456. However, there may be one “preference gauge” 1456 or three or more.

Next, it is determined whether the trip is a trip (S27).
The excursion is selected when taking a day trip or taking a walk around the nearest station from the current location. The travel plan creation flow for a small trip will be described later.

  Hereinafter, the case where it is not a short trip will be described.

  In S28, it is determined whether there is a candidate facility (facility having a priority flag) registered for town development.

Town revitalization registration is performed in facility master information registration.
Before explaining the final extraction part of the destination facility search and extraction flow, the town development registration flow is shown in FIG. 7, and how town registration is performed will be described.
FIG. 7a is a pre-stage part of the registration flow of the priority extraction facility according to the present invention.
FIG. 7b is the latter part of the registration flow of the priority extraction facility according to the present invention.
In the case of facility master information registration, when the town development registration “required” is selected, the travel assistance server 12 executes the town development registration flow.
When a town revitalization group new registration desired facility is entered (S101), it is determined whether or not the facility is under the town revitalization registration restriction (S102). In the town revitalization registration, the town revitalization registration is restricted for a predetermined period after the preferential extraction period is given and the priority extraction period elapses. This is because permanently granting the right to be preferentially extracted to a specific facility will deprive other local facilities of opportunities for regional revitalization. By setting the period, people gather in the area around the facility that is preferentially extracted during that period, and an opportunity for activation is given.

  The town revitalization group is composed of facilities in a circle with a predetermined facility as a reference facility and a predetermined distance as a radius. First, it is determined whether or not a registered facility exists in a circle with a predetermined distance as a radius centered on the facility entered in the town development registration (S103). In this flow, the predetermined distance is 2.5 km. The predetermined distance is preferably about 2.5 km to 5 km. Although it is the distance which comprises one town, it is not limited to this. If the registered facility does not exist, it is registered as a reference facility (S120). Even if the reference facility does not exist within a circle having a predetermined distance as a radius centering on the facility entered in the town development registration (S104), it is also registered as the reference facility (S120).

  When a reference facility exists in a circle with a predetermined distance as a radius centering on a facility entered in the town revitalization registration, the town revitalization group to which the reference facility belongs becomes a registration candidate. However, if there are a plurality of reference facilities, a town revitalization registration waiting group in which the number of registered facilities does not reach the predetermined number of properties is set as a registration candidate (S105). Here, the predetermined number of houses is 20. This is because the cooperation of a number of facilities is necessary to carry out the town revitalization. However, it is not limited to this.

If there is no town revitalization registration waiting group, the town revitalization group with the longest number of days until the town revitalization registration deadline is extracted (S130).
When there is a town revitalization registration waiting group, a group with the smallest number of registered eaves is extracted from the registration waiting groups (S106).
After the group is extracted, it is confirmed whether or not the entry facility has an intention to register with the group (S107) (S131).
When not registering in the group, normal registration is made assuming that no entry is made in the town revitalization registration (S140).

  When the registration waiting group to which the facility entered in the town revitalization registration has reached a predetermined number of houses (S108), the town revitalization registration is performed, and a priority extraction period is given to the group for a predetermined period (S109). ).

Hereinafter, the final extraction part of the destination facility search extraction flow will be described.
The facilities registered for town development are preferentially extracted in the destination facility search extraction flow. The priority extraction method will be described after step S28.
In step S26, the travel support server 12 selects and extracts a station group (Oji Station) (second extraction group) (FIG. 6). Three facilities have been extracted.
In step 28, it is determined whether there is a candidate facility (facility having a priority flag) registered for town development. In FIG. 6, since the facility 17 (enclosed number) is the only facility registered with the town, it is the final candidate facility.
If there are a plurality of registered facilities, a random candidate is used for random extraction and a final candidate facility is determined (S29).
If there is no facility registered for town development, it is determined whether there is a candidate facility that does not have a non-extraction flag (S40). The non-extraction flag is a normal registration facility that has not been registered for town development (with a priority extraction flag). If it is extracted once, the non-extraction flag is given, and the non-extraction flag is canceled according to certain conditions. Until it is extracted.
When there is a candidate facility that does not have a non-extraction flag, a facility is randomly extracted from the candidate facilities, and a non-extraction flag is assigned (S42), and is set as the final candidate facility.
However, the facility having the priority flag is not given the non-extraction flag even if it becomes the final candidate facility until the priority extraction period is canceled.
In any step, if there is no facility that can be extracted, the information is output to the travel applicant terminal 14 as not applicable or nonconforming.
The final candidate facility outputs to the travel applicant terminal 14 and asks the travel applicant to register. If the travel applicant does not wish to register, the non-extraction flag assigned to the final candidate facility is canceled, the same random extraction as in step S29 is performed except for the final candidate facility, and the travel candidate is presented to the travel candidate. If no candidate facility exists, “Not applicable” is output.

The excursion plan creation flow part of FIG. 5c will be described.
If a short trip is selected on the desired travel information input main screen 1451, the process proceeds from step S27 to step S50.
In the desired travel information input main screen 1451, when the scheduled departure date and departure time are set to the current time (S50), the current position is detected because the departure is made immediately (S60).
Candidate facilities in the second extracted group extracted in step S26 are grouped by the nearest station registered in the facility master information (S51). In the present embodiment, since the nearest station group is extracted from step S23 to step 26, it is determined yes from step S51 to step S54 and executed.
However, if the second classification information is climate or the like, the determination from step S51 to step S54 is made.

In steps S52 and S53, it is determined whether there is a railway station within the desired travel distance set on the desired travel information input main screen 1451, and whether there is a facility group having the station as the nearest station. Even if there is no railway station within the desired travel distance, if there is a candidate facility, this is adopted as a candidate facility (S70).
If there is a facility group whose nearest station is the station, a facility group whose nearest station is the station nearest to the current position is extracted (S54).
The presence / absence of the registered facility is determined (S55), and if it exists, the destination facility (with priority flag) that is the farthest from the nearest station is extracted (S56). Extracts the target facility (without the non-extraction flag) farthest from the nearest station among the facilities not having the non-extraction flag (S80), and sets it as the final candidate facility.
The final candidate facility outputs to the travel applicant terminal 14 and asks the travel applicant to register. If the travel applicant does not wish to register, the non-extraction flag assigned to the final candidate facility is canceled, the same random extraction as in step S29 is performed except for the final candidate facility, and the travel candidate is presented to the travel candidate. If no candidate facility exists, “Not applicable” is output.
The reason why the facility farthest from the nearest station is extracted is that the facility far from the station is usually disadvantageous when a search is performed on the Internet 28 or the like. .

  When the current time is set on the desired travel information input main screen 1451 and a short trip to be performed immediately is selected, a mystery tour is started using the guidance mobile communication terminal 22. In that case, it is convenient to make the travel applicant terminal 14 and the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 the same by using a smartphone or the like.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the mystery tour plan registration confirmation screen 1459 according to the present invention.
The contents of the final candidate facility extracted as described above are displayed on the travel applicant terminal 14 together with an outline process. Since it is a mystery tour, details are not displayed, and a display is made to the extent that facilities and means of transportation cannot be specified.
The travel applicant confirms the mystery tour plan registration confirmation screen 1459, and when registering with the indicated contents, selects the “OK” button to confirm the mystery tour plan. In order to confirm other candidates, a “display next candidate” button is selected, a plurality of candidate plans are confirmed, and selection is performed. If the desired item does not exist, the “Cancel” button is selected. The button may be a method of touching the screen or a method of pressing a key button.
If the “OK” button is selected, the travel plan is stored in the travel plan table and stored in the storage unit 124 in the travel support server 12.

Hereinafter, the means for guiding the mystery tour will be described.
FIG. 9a is a pre-stage part of the mystery tour guidance flow according to the present invention.
FIG. 9b is a middle part of the mystery tour guiding flow according to the present invention.
FIG. 9c shows the latter part of the mystery tour guidance flow according to the present invention.

9a to 9c, step S1000 is a sequence at the guidance communication portable terminal, step S2000 is a sequence at the travel support server 12, and step S3000 is a sequence at the facility terminal 16.
A dotted line arrow in the figure represents communication between each terminal and the travel support server 12.

In step S <b> 1000, the traveler performs a login operation using the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 and logs in to the travel support server 12 via the Internet 28.
In step S2000, the travel support server 12 receives the log-in information, and then enters standby for reception of a departure signal transmitted from the guidance mobile communication terminal 22.
The guidance mobile communication terminal 22 transmits the reservation number and the travel departure signal to the travel support server 12 (S1001).
Further, the current position is acquired by GPS, transmitted to the travel support server 12 (S1002), and moved to the departure point indicated in the registered mystery tour plan (S1003). After moving to the departure point, the departure procedure may be performed on the travel support server 12.
The current position information transmitted from the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 is confirmed whether it is within the threshold value of the starting point of the mystery tour (S2001). If it is determined that the current position information is not the starting point, the movement to the starting point is performed. An instruction is given (S2002). In this case, the ciphertext is not used so that it can be moved in the shortest time.
If it is confirmed that the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 is located at the departure point, a signal indicating that the traveler has departed is transmitted to the facility terminal 16 (S2003).
After receiving the signal, the facility terminal 16 waits for a signal indicating that the traveler has arrived (S3000).

  The travel support server 12 executes the keyword conversion flow in order to transmit the ciphertext for the first movement instruction to the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 (S2004).

Hereinafter, the keyword conversion flow will be described.
FIG. 9d is a mystery keyword conversion flow part of the mystery tour guidance flow according to the present invention.

The travel data necessary for the first instruction is extracted from the travel plan table (S2500).
The traffic information providing server 18 related to the route data is accessed via the Internet 28, and route data, station / bus stop data, and operation information are extracted (S2501 to S2503). The route data and station / bus stop data may be stored and saved in the travel plan table when the travel plan is registered.
FIG. 11 shows a keyword ciphertext template.
A sentence is completed by applying a transportation system to part a, a route to part b, and a station name to part c.
For example, the encrypted data is extracted by comparing the transportation data, route data, and station / bus stop data with the keyword conversion table shown in FIG. When heading from Sannomiya to Umeda by the Hanshin Railway, the “a” is selected as “electric railway holding a team in Kansai” using the transportation conversion table. For the portion b, “a route of business km 32.1 km” is selected using the route conversion table. For the portion c, “station having a famous department store for squid ware” is selected using the station / bus stop conversion table (S2504). Applying this to the ciphertext template, “Take the electric railway that owns the baseball team in Kansai and head to the station with the famous department store of squid baked on a 32.1 km route.” The ciphertext for performing is completed (S2505).
This is an example, and any method may be used as long as it is an encryption method that can support the moving means.
In addition, a keyword conversion table is prepared for each difficulty level and presented to travelers from keywords with high difficulty levels. If they cannot be decoded, keywords are extracted from the table with low difficulty levels and presented to travelers as hints. It is also possible to do.

  When the ciphertext for the movement instruction is completed, the ciphertext is transmitted to the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 (S2005).

When the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 receives the instruction, the instruction is displayed on the terminal (S1005).
FIG. 10 shows an example of a mystery tour guidance screen according to the present invention.

A current position display screen 2251 is displayed on the display unit 225 of the guidance mobile communication terminal 22. A map is preferable, but a simple figure such as an illustration may be used. A current position pointer 2252 indicates the current position of the traveler. The itinerary information display screen 2253 displays information necessary during the travel process, such as the estimated arrival time at the destination facility and the remaining travel time set on the desired travel information input main screen 1451. On the guidance instruction screen 2254, the ciphertext for the movement instruction created in the keyword conversion flow of the travel support server 12 is displayed.
In the case of a touch panel, a mystery tour stop button 2255, a guidance information request button 2256, or the like may be displayed. The mystery tour cancel button 2255 is used to cancel the mystery tour for the convenience of the traveler, such as when the code cannot be decrypted, or to return to a normal trip or to cancel the trip itself. The guidance information request button 2256 is used when requesting a ciphertext having a low difficulty level when the displayed ciphertext does not know how to move.

When receiving the ciphertext, the guiding mobile communication terminal 22 acquires position information from the GPS and determines whether the traveler is moving (S1006). If not moving, the user is prompted to move (S1007).
When the traveler starts moving, the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 transmits a movement start signal to the travel support server 12 (S1008).

  When the travel support server 12 receives the movement start signal, the travel support server 12 is instructed to send a report on what kind of transportation means the traveler is using (S2006).

  The traveler transmits the actual moving means to the travel support server 12 according to the application on the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 (S1009).

  The travel support server 12 determines whether or not the travel device is a correct travel unit based on the travel plan. If it is determined that the travel support server 12 is incorrect, the travel support server 12 transmits a travel suspension instruction (S2008).

  Receiving the movement interruption instruction, the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 transmits the current position to the travel support server 12, and waits for an instruction to return to the correct route (S1012).

The travel support server 12 that has received the current position accesses the traffic information providing server 18 or the like via the Internet 28 to search for and extract a corrected route that returns from the current location to the route of the original plan in the shortest time (S2009).
When the corrected route is determined, a keyword conversion flow is executed in order to issue a route correction instruction in ciphertext (S2010).
After creating the ciphertext, the process returns to step S2005 and repeats from step S1005 until it is moved by the correct moving means. If it is determined in step S2007 that the moving means is correct, step S2011 is executed to notify that the moving means is correct.

  If it is determined that the traveler has arrived at the point designated by the travel support server 12 (S1013), the current position is transmitted to the travel support server 12 (S1015).

  The travel support server 12 that has received the current position determines whether or not the current position is a point designated as a destination (S2012). For example, if you were given the instruction, “Take the electric train that owns the team in Kansai and go to the station with the famous department store of squid on a 32.1 km route.” Judges whether you have arrived correctly at Hanshin Umeda Station. In that case, a predetermined distance is set as a threshold value, and if it is within the threshold value from the center of Hanshin Umeda Station, it is determined that the vehicle has arrived at the correctly designated point.

If it is determined that the threshold value is not reached and the vehicle has not arrived at the correct point, the traffic information providing server 18 or the like is accessed via the Internet 28 to search for a corrected route that returns from the current position to the original plan route in the shortest time. And extracting (S2014).
When the corrected route is determined, a keyword conversion flow is executed in order to issue a route correction instruction with ciphertext (S2015).
After creating the ciphertext, the process returns to step S2005 and repeats from step S1005 until it is moved by the correct moving means. If it is determined in step S2012 that the point is the correct designated point, step S2013 is executed to determine whether or not it is necessary to use a transportation facility to move to the destination facility.
If it is determined that further use of transportation is necessary, a keyword conversion flow is executed in order to give the next movement instruction in ciphertext (S2016).
When the ciphertext is created, the process returns to step S2005, and steps S1005 to S2012 are repeated until the ciphertext is moved to the designated point by the correct moving means. If it is determined in step S2013 that transportation to the destination facility is not necessary, it is determined whether the current location is the destination facility (S2017). On the other hand, the walking route data is transmitted (S2018).

The mobile communication terminal 22 for guidance that has received the walking route data is indicated by a solid line colored so that the walking route can be visually recognized on the map on the current position display screen 2251 of the display unit 225, or the guidance instruction screen 2254. May be indicated by characters or sentences (S1016).
When the traveler starts moving, the current location is detected and guided until reaching a distance within the threshold from the target facility (S1017 to S1022). If the traveler makes a mistake in the route, the route is corrected and displayed on the display unit 225 (S1023, S1016). If it is determined that the facility is the destination facility, the current location is transmitted to the travel support server 12 (S1021).

  Upon receiving the transmission of the current position, the travel support server 12 transmits the arrival information of the traveler to the facility terminal 16 (S2019).

  The facility terminal 16 that has received the traveler arrival information transmits a confirmation response to the travel support server 12 (S3001).

After receiving the confirmation response, the travel support server 12 determines whether or not the movement of the mystery tour plan has been completed (S2020).
If it is determined that it has not been completed, it waits for the scheduled stay time at the current destination facility to elapse (S2021), and requests the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 to transmit the current location (S2022).

  The guidance mobile communication terminal 22 transmits the current position (S1024). Even if the planned stay time has not elapsed, when the traveler wants to depart to the next destination facility, the current position may be transmitted to the travel support server 12 to request the next instruction.

After receiving the current location, the travel support server 12 returns to step S2001 and repeats step S2019 until it reaches the next destination facility.
If it is determined that the final destination facility has been reached (S2020), a travel completion signal is transmitted to the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 (S2023).

  When receiving the travel completion signal, the guiding mobile communication terminal 22 logs out and ends the mystery tour (S024).

Hereinafter, the movement clearance time will be described.
FIG. 12 is an image of the calculation of the movement clearance time according to the present invention.
In the case of a mystery tour, it is often the case that the journey is delayed because the means of transportation is not clearly indicated. If the delay time is allowed indefinitely, the final destination may be unable to arrive at the final check-in time, for example, if the final destination facility is an accommodation facility. On the other hand, if the time required for the process is short, the mystery tour may end quickly and be disappointing.
In order to solve such a problem, a predetermined time is set, and if it is a delay within the time, the travel support server 12 prompts the traveler to move quickly, or an intermediate purpose It eliminates the need to skip the facility and lead to the final destination facility. The predetermined time is referred to as “movement clearance time”.

  The travel allowance can be entered on the desired travel information input main screen 1451 by the travel applicant. The travel clearance time cannot be input without limitation, and is set within a range that is in time for the use time of the final destination facility after subtracting the travel time and the stay time as described above.

In FIG. 12, s is the movement clearance time.
If the traveler departs at the start time (p) and is the actual transit point arrival time (x), the transit point arrival delay time (b) is (actual transit point arrival time (x) −route point Estimated arrival time (q)). The remaining movement clearance time (t) at that time is (movement clearance time (s) −route arrival delay time (b)). The remaining travel clearance time is calculated in the calculation unit 122 in the travel support server 12 using the time acquired from the time measuring means during the mystery tour.
The remaining movement clearance time (t) is displayed on the process information display screen 2253 shown in FIG. When the remaining movement allowance time (t) runs out or decreases, the travel support server 12 gives a warning to the traveler via the guidance mobile communication terminal 22 and prompts for quick movement.

  Also, during the mystery tour, a trip is selected on the desired trip information input main screen 1451 and the trip plan creation flow part shown in FIG. 5c is executed to create a trip plan. You can enjoy the excursion mystery tour using time.

  By using the travel support system according to the present invention for the tourism industry, it is possible to contribute to town revitalization and activate all industries.

  In addition, if the current position pointer is displayed on the map using the virtual position information as the current position by calculating the position information obtained using GPS, the travel support system is a system that provides a mystery tour simulation game. It is also possible.
