Further, the movement database 206d may store movement information in association with a user identification number such as a user ID for each user, and the movement information is associated with a terminal identification number for each terminal device 100. You may remember.

  In addition to the above, the storage unit 206 may store guidance information (such as voice guidance information and display guidance information) for performing route guidance. As an example, the display guidance information included in the guidance information includes turn-by-turn (TBT), which is arrow navigation that displays guidance such as right and left turns on the screen, associated with guide points such as branch points for each traveling direction, Further, it may be character data that informs that the current position has approached the target at the guide point, and may be used when the terminal device 100 executes display guidance, for example. The display guide information may also include thumbnail information such as map information of a low-scale map around the intersection (for example, an enlarged view of the intersection), a road sign image of a road sign, and a road display image of a road sign.

In addition, the voice guidance information included in the guidance information indicates that the traffic conditions have changed, such as “the surrounding road conditions have changed”, and that there is a traffic jam area around the current location. "Turn left at the next intersection" associated with a guide point such as a branching point, "New route found. New route found. Turn left 100m ahead" May be voice information such as “soon to be around the destination” when the current position approaches the destination at the guide point. For example, the terminal device 100 may be at the guide point. It may be used when executing voice guidance. It should be noted that the control unit 202 of the server device 200 sends the latest guidance information to the external device periodically and / or according to processing by the control unit 202 (for example, when the control unit 202 needs data). You may download from 600 (guidance information provision server etc. which provide guidance information).

  The control unit 202 has an internal memory for storing a control program such as an OS (Operating System), a program that defines various processing procedures, and necessary data. And the control part 202 performs the information processing for performing various processes with these programs. The control unit 202 is functionally conceptually configured as a current position information receiving unit 202a, a movement information calculation unit 202b, a movement information storage unit 202c, an output information generation unit 202d, an output information transmission unit 202e, a threshold determination unit 202f, and a billing processing unit 202g. A route search condition reception unit 202h, a route search unit 202j, a route information generation unit 202k, and a route information transmission unit 202m.

  Among these, the current position information receiving unit 202a is current position information receiving means for receiving the current position information of a mobile body such as a user of the terminal device 100 transmitted from the terminal device 100. The current position information receiving unit 202a may store the received current position information in the storage unit 106.

  In addition, the movement information calculation unit 202b calculates movement information including the movement distance that the moving body has moved for each moving means or for each application based on the history of the current position information received by the current position information receiving unit 202a. Information calculation means. Here, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine the moving means based on the current position information. In addition, as a moving means, classifications, such as a walk, a train, a bicycle, a car, are mentioned as an example. For example, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine the moving means according to the movement speed, acceleration, or the like based on the current position information history. For example, when the number of steps can be counted by acceleration or vibration of the current position information, it may be determined that the moving means is walking. Further, according to the movement-related information included in the current position information, it may be determined that the vehicle is a moving means such as an automobile or a bullet train if the cradle is installed or connected to the USB, and the moving means is a bus or train if the IC reader is touched. Further, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine the movement means based on the positioning type stored in the current position information. For example, if the positioning type is GPS, the movement information calculation unit 202b is an outdoor movement means, and if IMES, it is an indoor movement means. You may determine with a moving means (walking etc.). Further, the movement information calculation unit 202b performs matching on the network data stored in the network database 206a and / or the map data stored in the map database 206b based on the current position information. Thus, the moving means and the moving distance may be determined. For example, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine that the moving means is a car if the current position information matches road network data such as an expressway, and if the current position information matches the route network data, the movement means may be determined. The vehicle may be determined to be a train, and if the in-facility network data is matched, the moving means may be determined to be walking. Further, the movement information calculation unit 202b may calculate the movement distance between them based on the network data for each movement means. As a result, the candidate route that can be moved by the moving means is limited by the link distance by map matching, etc., rather than simply calculating the moving distance from the locus of the current position information (straight distance connecting latitude and longitude). A more accurate moving distance can be calculated. When the movement information calculation unit 202b cannot be identified as one movement unit, the movement information calculation unit 202b transmits a selection request for the movement unit to the terminal device 100 and receives the selection information of the movement unit input to the user via the input unit 116. By doing so, the moving means may be specified. Note that the movement information calculation unit 202b may perform re-determination of the movement unit every predetermined time or each time the current position information is updated, and may detect the switching of the movement unit. In addition, even when the movement information calculation unit 202b temporarily determines switching of another moving means, the movement information calculating unit 202b may determine that the moving means before and after the moving means continues to move. For example, when a train is temporarily moved on foot in a station facility at the time of a train transfer, it may be determined as a train moving means before and after the transfer without determining the switching of the moving means to walk. In addition, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine the movement means using a known movement means determination method disclosed in Patent Document 3 or the like.

  Further, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine an application based on an application (service contents or the like) currently provided based on route information transmitted by a route information transmission unit 202m described later. As an example, examples of applications include walking navigation services, train transfer guidance services, bicycle navigation services, and car navigation services. For example, the movement information calculation unit 202b may calculate the movement distance based on the distance between points based on the history of the current position information. However, the movement information calculation unit 202b may calculate the movement distance according to the route information transmitted by the route information transmission unit 202m.

  The movement information storage unit 202c is a movement information storage unit that stores movement information, which is a movement distance for each movement unit or each application, in the movement database 206d based on the movement information calculated by the movement information calculation unit 202b. . Here, the movement information storage unit 202c may store the movement information in association with the user identification number of the user, or may store the movement information in association with the terminal identification number of the terminal device 100. Good. Here, the movement information storage unit 202c may integrate the movement distance for each movement means in a predetermined time unit (for example, one month unit). That is, the movement information storage unit 202c may update and store the accumulated movement distance for each movement unit in the movement database 206d.

  The output information generation unit 202d is an output information generation unit that generates output information based on the movement distance for each movement unit stored in the movement database 206d by the movement information storage unit 202c. For example, the output information generation unit 202d may generate output information indicating the accumulated movement distance associated with the movement unit based on the movement information stored in the movement database 206d. Further, the output information generation unit 202d may generate output information including the movement distance by the latest recognized moving means based on the latest movement information in the movement information history stored in the movement database 206d. Good. Here, the output information generation unit 202d may generate output information including a result of the charging process by the charging processing unit 202g based on the movement information. For example, the output information generation unit 202d may generate output information including billing information stored in the movement database 206d. The output information generation unit 202d indicates that it is likely to be charged when it is likely to exceed a predetermined threshold (such as a limit distance) used by a threshold determination unit 202f, which will be described later (for example, when it is likely not to be free). Billing information to be notified may be generated. For example, the output information generation unit 202d exceeds the limit when the accumulated moving distance exceeds a predetermined distance, when the remaining distance falls below a predetermined distance, or when the accumulated distance / remaining distance reaches a predetermined ratio. You may determine that you did.

  The output information transmission unit 202e is an output information transmission unit that transmits the output information generated by the output information generation unit 202d to the terminal device 100.

  The threshold determination unit 202f is a threshold determination unit that determines whether or not a predetermined threshold has been reached based on the movement distance of each movement unit stored in the movement database 206d. For example, the predetermined threshold value is set for each moving unit, and the threshold value determination unit 202f may determine that the moving distance has reached when any of the moving units exceeds a predetermined threshold value. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the threshold value determination unit 202f may determine whether or not a predetermined threshold value has been reached in consideration of the movement distances of the plurality of movement means.

As an example, the threshold determination unit 202f may weight the movement distance according to the moving unit, and may determine the threshold based on an index value that is a moving distance weighted for each moving unit. As a weighting method, for example, the moving distance may be increased by a predetermined value (for example, 0.5 times) according to the moving means. More specifically, the threshold value determination unit 202f calculates an index value by multiplying the moving distance by the weight of the moving unit, and whether or not the sum of the calculated index values for each moving unit has reached a predetermined threshold value. May be determined. Examples of weighting for each moving means are listed below.
(General formula) (weight of moving means) x (moving distance) = (index value)
Example 1) On foot (weight of moving means: 1)
Calculation of an index value for a moving distance of 3 km: 1 × 3 = 3
Example 2) Bicycle (weight of transportation means: 0.8)
Calculation of index value for moving distance 3 km: 0.8 × 3 = 2.4
Example 3) In the case of an automobile (weight of moving means: 0.4)
Calculation of an index value for a moving distance of 20 km: 0.4 × 20 = 8
Example 4) In the case of public transportation (weight of transportation: 0.2)
Calculation of an index value for a moving distance of 20 km: 0.2 × 20 = 4

  Here, the weight may be set according to the amount of information displayed for each moving means. For example, you may set according to the information table of the path | route information which the path | route information transmission part 202m transmits. As an example, the amount of information per unit distance is 1: 0.1: 0.2: 0.2 between a walking navigation service, a train transfer guidance service, a bicycle navigation service, and an automobile navigation service. The threshold determination unit 202f may perform weighting according to the ratio of the information amount. The weight is not limited to this, and the weight may be set according to the average moving speed of the moving means. For example, when the average moving speed of walking: the average moving speed of the train: the average moving speed of the bicycle: the average moving speed of the car is 0.05: 1: 0.25: 0.5, the threshold determination unit 202f You may weight according to the ratio of average moving speed. The determination process by the threshold determination unit 202f may be determined at a predetermined timing. For example, the threshold determination unit 202f may perform the determination after a predetermined time has elapsed since the end of provision of the guidance information by the route information transmission unit 202m, or may determine the closing date such as the end of the month.

  The billing processing unit 202g is billing processing means that performs billing processing based on the determination result by the threshold determination unit 202f. For example, the charging processing unit 202g may charge the user a predetermined amount when the threshold determination unit 202f determines that the predetermined threshold is exceeded. The billing processing unit 202g may store billing information regarding the billing status such as a usage fee in the billing database 206c without directly performing billing processing such as account withdrawal. Further, the billing processing unit 202g transmits the billing information of the user stored in the billing database 206c to a mobile phone carrier (for example, a mobile phone communication service provider or a mobile phone manufacturer), etc. You may settle by doing.

  The route search condition receiving unit 202h is route search condition receiving means for receiving a route search condition transmitted from the terminal device 100 and including at least a departure place and a destination. The route search condition receiving unit 202h may receive a reroute search request transmitted from the terminal device 100 in a predetermined case (such as every fixed period) such as when the current position information is updated. Note that the route search condition receiving unit 202h may acquire the current position based on the current position information of the terminal device 100 received by the current position information receiving unit 202a as the starting point of the route search condition. For example, when a reroute search request transmitted from the terminal device 100 is received, the route search condition receiving unit 202h resets the current position based on the latest current position information as the starting point of the route search condition. Also good.

  Further, the route search unit 202j searches for and acquires a route from the departure point to the destination that satisfies the route search condition received by the route search condition receiving unit 202h based on the network data stored in the network database 206a. It is a route search means. Note that the route search unit 202j may select network data stored in the network database 206a in accordance with the moving means defined in the route search condition. For example, the route search unit 202j may use road network data when the moving means is an automobile, may use route network data when the moving means is a train, and the moving means is a walking distance. In such a case, network data for walking such as in-facility network data may be used. When the moving means is a bicycle, network data for bicycle may be used. For example, the route search unit 202j searches for a bicycle route that satisfies the route search condition based on road network data for bicycles (for example, network data including a bicycle exclusive road or a one-way road on which a bicycle can run backward). May be. Note that the processing by the route search unit 202j may be performed in order to provide an application for the moving means. Here, the route searched by the route search unit 202j is, for example, a combination of road links indicating the route. Then, the route searching unit 202j acquires an appropriate route based on the link cost of the road link indicating the route. For example, the route search unit 202j may calculate one or a plurality of routes so that the (original) link cost such as time, distance, and fuel cost becomes as small as possible.

  The route information generation unit 202k is route information generation means for generating route information indicating the route acquired by the route search unit 202j. Here, the route information generation unit 202k may generate route information including guidance information in addition to the route information acquired by the route search unit 202j. The route information generating unit 202k may generate route information including map data around the route stored in the map database 206b in addition to the route information acquired by the route searching unit 202j.

  The route information transmitting unit 202m is route information transmitting means for transmitting the route information created by the route information generating unit 202k to the terminal device 100.

  Above, description of an example of a structure of the movement information total system in this embodiment is finished.

[Processing of movement information aggregation system]
Next, an example of the process of the movement information totaling system according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the movement information tabulation system according to the first embodiment. In the following description, the route search condition transmission unit 102f of the terminal device 100 transmits a route search condition in advance, so that one of the plurality of routes provided from the server device 200 is used as a guide route. May be based on the assumption that the server device 200 is performing route guidance according to the guidance route for the moving means. For example, the route information output unit 102h is displaying a display screen in which the route and the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 102a are superimposed on the map data included in the route information on the output unit 114. There may be.

  As shown in FIG. 2, first, the current position information acquisition unit 102a of the terminal device 100 acquires current position information of a moving body such as a user of the terminal device 100 (step SA-1). Here, the current position information acquisition unit 102a may acquire the current position information of the user of the terminal device 100 every predetermined period (for example, every second). As an example, the current position information acquisition unit 102a may acquire the position information calculated from the position information signal received from the position transmission device 500 by the position acquisition unit 112 as the current position information of the user of the terminal device 100. . Furthermore, the orientation information such as the traveling direction of the terminal device 100 detected by the orientation sensor of the position acquisition unit 112 and the acceleration information of the terminal device 100 detected by the acceleration sensor of the position acquisition unit 112 are used. May be acquired as the current position information of the person. Here, the current position information acquisition unit 102a may acquire the date and time information of acquiring the current position information together with the current position information of the user.

  Then, the current location information transmission unit 102b of the terminal device 100 transmits the current location information acquired by the current location information acquisition unit 102a to the server device 200 (step SA-2). Here, the current position information transmitting unit 102b may transmit the current position information every time the current position information is acquired by the current position information acquiring unit 102a, or may be transmitted every time the current position information is updated. The current position information may be transmitted periodically, or a plurality of current position information for a predetermined time or a predetermined time may be transmitted collectively. Note that the current position information transmitting unit 102b may include the positioning type of the current position information (such as a type such as GPS, IMES, or base station positioning, or a wi-fi environment) in the current position information to be transmitted. In addition, the current position information transmission unit 102b may include movement related information regarding cradle installation, USB connection, IC reader contact, and the like of the terminal device 100 in the current position information. In addition, the current position information transmission unit 102b may include movement-related information indicating the moving means related to the application in the current position information according to the guidance information providing application for each moving means that is being activated.

  Then, the current position information receiving unit 202a of the server device 200 receives the current position information transmitted from the terminal device 100 (step SA-3). Here, the current position information receiving unit 202a may store the received current position information in the storage unit 106 as a history (movement log or the like).

  Then, the movement information calculation unit 202b of the server device 200 determines the moving means and calculates the movement distance based on the current position information received by the current position information reception unit 202a (step SA-4).

  First, as the determination process of the moving means, the movement information calculating unit 202b determines the moving means (type of walking, train, bicycle, car, etc.) based on the history of the current position information received by the current position information receiving unit 202a. judge. For example, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine the moving means according to the movement speed, acceleration, or the like based on the current position information history. For example, when the number of steps can be counted by acceleration or vibration of the current position information, it may be determined that the moving means is walking. Further, according to the movement-related information included in the current position information, it may be determined that the vehicle is a moving means such as an automobile or a bullet train if the cradle is installed or connected to the USB, and the moving means is a bus or train if the IC reader is touched. Further, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine the movement means based on the positioning type stored in the current position information. For example, if the positioning type is GPS, the movement information calculation unit 202b is an outdoor movement means, and if IMES, it is an indoor movement means. You may determine with a moving means (walking etc.). Further, the movement information calculation unit 202b performs matching on the network data stored in the network database 206a and / or the map data stored in the map database 206b based on the current position information. Thus, the moving means and the moving distance may be determined. For example, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine that the moving means is a car if the current position information matches road network data such as an expressway, and if the current position information matches the route network data, the movement means may be determined. The vehicle may be determined to be a train, and if the in-facility network data is matched, the moving means may be determined to be walking. When the movement information calculation unit 202b cannot be identified as one movement unit, the movement information calculation unit 202b transmits a selection request for the movement unit to the terminal device 100 and receives the selection information of the movement unit input to the user via the input unit 116. By doing so, the moving means may be specified. Note that the movement information calculation unit 202b may perform re-determination of the movement unit every predetermined time or each time the current position information is updated, and may detect the switching of the movement unit. Here, FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing an example of switching of the moving means by the movement information calculation unit 202b.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the movement information calculation unit 202b detects the switching of the moving means, the moving distance for each moving means described later can be calculated. Note that the movement information calculation unit 202b is not limited to determining the moving means in real time, and may determine the moving means after collecting a plurality of current position information histories. As a result, even if the positioning accuracy of the current position is low, the travel route and the travel distance can be specified later by matching the route network data, route map, etc., so that the moving means and the travel distance can be accurately calculated. . Note that the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine that the movement means before and after the movement means continues to move even when it is temporarily determined that another movement means is switched. For example, when a train is temporarily moved on foot in a station facility at the time of a train transfer, it may be determined as a train moving means before and after the transfer without determining the switching of the moving means to walk. The movement information calculation unit 202b is based on applications (such as a walking navigation service, a train transfer guidance service, a bicycle navigation service, and an automobile navigation service) that are currently provided based on the route information transmitted by the route information transmission unit 202m. The moving means may be determined. In addition, the movement information calculation unit 202b may determine the movement means using a known movement means determination method described in Patent Document 3 or the like.

  Following the determination process of the moving means, the movement information calculation unit 202b determines the movement distance based on the current position information received by the current position information reception unit 202a. For example, the movement information calculation unit 202b may calculate the movement distance based on the distance between points based on the history of the current position information (a linear distance connecting latitude and longitude). Further, the movement information calculation unit 202b may calculate the movement distance between them based on the matching result with the network data for each movement means. Thus, rather than simply calculating the travel distance from the locus of the current position information, the candidate route that can be moved by the moving means is limited by the link distance by map matching, etc., so that a more accurate travel distance can be calculated Can do. However, the movement information calculation unit 202b may calculate the movement distance according to the route information transmitted by the route information transmission unit 202m.

  Returning to FIG. 2 again, the movement information storage unit 202c of the server device 200 stores movement information, which is a movement distance for each moving means or for each application, in the movement database 206d based on the movement information calculated by the movement information calculation unit 202b. Store (step SA-5). Here, the movement information storage unit 202c may store the movement information in association with the user identification number of the user, or may store the movement information in association with the terminal identification number of the terminal device 100. Good. Here, the movement information storage unit 202c may accumulate the movement distance for each movement unit in a predetermined time unit (for example, one month unit). That is, the movement information storage unit 202c may update and store the accumulated movement distance for each movement unit in the movement database 206d.

  Then, the output information generation unit 202d of the server device 200 generates output information based on the movement distance or the like for each moving means stored in the movement database 206d by the movement information storage unit 202c (step SA-6). For example, the output information generation unit 202d may generate output information indicating the accumulated movement distance associated with the movement unit based on the movement information stored in the movement database 206d. Further, the output information generation unit 202d may generate output information including the movement distance by the latest recognized moving means based on the latest movement information in the movement information history stored in the movement database 206d. Good. Here, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an output screen example of output information generated when a bicycle is recognized as the moving means.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the output information generation unit 202d determines the cumulative travel distance of the bicycle (the travel distance in units of one day and the cumulative travel after the service starts based on the travel information of the bicycle stored in the travel data database 206d. Output information including a display area indicating (distance) is generated. Here, the cumulative movement distance may be the total of the movement distances accumulated in the movement data database 206d, or may be the cumulative movement distance in a predetermined period (for example, a period from the beginning of the month). In this example, the output information generation unit 202d superimposes a display area indicating the travel distance of the bicycle on the route information of the bicycle route (the thick solid line portion in the figure) generated by the route information generation unit 202k. By doing so, output information is generated. The display area may be superimposed on the map so as to include only a predetermined scale or the most recent movement. Here, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an output screen example of output information generated after a predetermined time has elapsed from the scene of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the user moves to the bicycle parking lot and then walks to the station, the movement information calculation unit 202b detects the switching of the moving means from the bicycle to the walking. At this time, as an example, the output information generation unit 202d acquires the movement information on the walking, which is the latest movement means currently recognized, from the movement data database 206d, and accumulates the walking movement distance (the movement in units of one day). Output information including a display area indicating a distance (“today's walking distance” in the figure) and a cumulative moving distance after the service starts (“cumulative walking distance” in the figure)) is generated. It should be noted that the output information generation unit 202d is not limited to generating output information based on the movement information relating to the latest movement means recognized as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. You may display the movement distance which changed the display mode for every moving means, including a locus | trajectory. Further, the output information generation unit 202d may generate output information in a text format or a list format, not limited to being superimposed on the map data or the route information. Here, FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating another example of the output information output screen generated by the output information generation unit 202d.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the output information generation unit 202d, based on the movement information of each moving means stored in the moving data database 206d, moves days and distances from the start of the service, and each moving means (walking, train, etc. Output information indicating the accumulated travel days and travel distances in a tabular format may be generated.

  Returning to FIG. 2 again, the output information transmitting unit 202e of the server device 200 transmits the output information generated by the output information generating unit 202d to the terminal device 100 (step SA-7).

  And the output information receiving part 102c of the terminal device 100 receives the output information transmitted from the server apparatus 200 (step SA-8). Here, the output information receiving unit 102 c may store the received output information in the storage unit 106.

  Then, the output information output unit 102d outputs the output information received by the output information receiving unit 102c to the output unit 114 (step SA-9). For example, the output information output unit 102d may display and output the output information on the output unit 114 of the display unit such as a monitor, and may output the output information to the output unit 114 of the audio output unit such as a speaker.

  In the present embodiment, control may be performed so that the processes in steps SA-1 to SA-9 described above are repeated. For example, the route search condition transmission unit 102f of the terminal device 100 transmits the current position information, the reroute search request, and the like to the server device 200 at predetermined intervals (for example, every 5 minutes), for example, so that the above-described step SA- You may control so that the process of 1-step SA-9 is repeated. And the server apparatus 200 may perform a reroute search by the route search part 202j, when the reroute search request | requirement from the terminal device 100 is received. In these cases, the starting point of the route search condition may be a position based on the latest current position information received by the current position information receiving unit 202a.

  The above is an example of the process of the movement information totaling system in the first embodiment.

[Billing process]
Next, an example of the billing process of the server apparatus 200 in the process of the movement information totaling system described above will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the charging process of the server apparatus 200.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the server device 200 receives the current position information transmitted from the terminal device 100 by the current position information receiving unit 202a (step SA-3) and moves information calculating unit 202b, as described above. Thus, the moving means is determined and the moving distance is calculated based on the current position information (step SA-4), and the movement information is stored in the movement database 206d by the processing of the movement information storage unit 202c (step SA-5). .

Then, the threshold value determination unit 202f of the server device 200 determines whether or not a predetermined threshold value (a predetermined distance or the like) has been reached based on the movement distance for each movement means stored in the movement database 206d (step SA). -61). For example, the threshold determination unit 202f may weight the moving distance according to the moving means, and whether or not the predetermined threshold is reached based on the index value that is the moving distance weighted for each moving means. Such a determination may be made. For example, as shown in the following example, the threshold determination unit 202f calculates an index value by multiplying the moving distance by the weight of the moving unit, and the sum of the calculated index values for each moving unit reaches a predetermined threshold value. It may be determined whether or not. The weight may be set based on the amount of route information provided according to the moving means, or may be set according to the average moving speed of the moving means.
(General formula) (weight of moving means) x (moving distance) = (index value)
Example 1) On foot (weight of moving means: 1)
Calculation of an index value for a moving distance of 3 km: 1 × 3 = 3
Example 2) Bicycle (weight of transportation means: 0.8)
Calculation of index value for moving distance 3 km: 0.8 × 3 = 2.4
Example 3) In the case of an automobile (weight of moving means: 0.4)
Calculation of an index value for a moving distance of 20 km: 0.4 × 20 = 8
Example 4) In the case of public transportation (weight of transportation: 0.2)
Calculation of an index value for a moving distance of 20 km: 0.2 × 20 = 4

  Without being limited to the above, the threshold determination unit 202f may determine whether or not the moving distance of any of the plurality of moving means exceeds an upper limit of a predetermined threshold set for each moving means. For example, the predetermined threshold value may be set to 5 km for walking, 10 km for bicycles, and 100 km for public transportation such as trains. The threshold determination unit 202f may perform threshold determination processing at a predetermined timing. For example, the threshold determination unit 202f may perform determination after a predetermined time has elapsed after the provision of the guidance information by the route information transmission unit 202m. The determination may be made on the closing date. Here, FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing the concept of the threshold value determined by the moon tightening by the threshold value determination unit 202f.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in this example, the threshold value determined by the monthly closing can be expressed as a limit distance between months. If the monthly limit distance is not exceeded, charging processing by the charging processing unit 202g, which will be described later, is not performed, so this limited distance is a total distance that can be used free of charge. As shown as an example in FIG. 8, in this example, the threshold value determination unit 202f uses the route information provided by the route information transmission unit 202m from the beginning of this month with respect to the accumulated usage distance (cumulative movement distance) up to the previous month. The guidance results are added to determine whether or not the limit distance is exceeded. In order to notify the user when the cumulative distance approaches the limit distance without exceeding the limit distance, the output information generation unit 202d may generate output information to notify that.

  Returning to FIG. 7 again, if the threshold determination unit 202f determines that the distance is equal to or greater than the predetermined distance (step SA-61, Yes), the charging processing unit 202g of the server device 200 generates and outputs charging information based on the movement information. The information generation unit 202d generates output information including billing information (SA-62). For example, the output information generation unit 202d may generate output information including charging information stored in the movement database 206d by the charging processing unit 202g. Note that the output information generation unit 202d, as described above, is likely to exceed a predetermined threshold (such as a limit distance) used by the threshold determination unit 202f (for example, when the accumulated movement distance exceeds a predetermined distance or the remaining distance is When the distance is less than the predetermined distance or when the cumulative distance / remaining distance reaches a predetermined ratio), the output information may be generated to notify that it is likely to be charged.

  Then, the output information transmitting unit 202e transmits the output information including the billing information generated by the output information generating unit 202d to the terminal device 100 and finishes the process (SA-63). If the threshold determination unit 202f does not determine that the distance is greater than or equal to the predetermined distance (step SA-61, No), the server device 200 ends the process without generating and transmitting output information.

  The above is an example of the billing process by the server device 200. Note that the above-described processing of step SA-3 to step SA-63 may be repeatedly executed. Further, when the processes of Step SA-3 to Step SA-5 are repeatedly executed, the processes after Step SA-61 may be started at a predetermined timing. As described above, according to this billing process, for a route guidance application for a specific moving means for which a user makes a use contract, it is possible to control charging individually by counting only the moving distance of the guidance of the used moving means. it can. In addition, when one route guidance application supports a plurality of moving means, it is not possible to appropriately perform the charging process only with the travel distance used in the application. Even when one route guidance application corresponding to the moving means is used, appropriate charging processing can be performed by weighting each moving means. Further, instead of holding the charging information in association with the ID such as the terminal identification number of the terminal device 100, the charging information can also be handled in association with the user ID such as the user identification number of the user. Even when a single user uses a plurality of terminal devices 100 by using them properly, it is possible to charge for the provided service collectively according to the common ID.

  This is the end of the description of the processing of the first embodiment.

Next, an example of the process of the movement information totalizing apparatus 400 according to the second embodiment configured as described above will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the movement information totalization apparatus 400 according to the second embodiment. In the following description, provided by the user selecting one route as a guide route from a plurality of routes searched based on the route search condition set in advance by the route search condition setting unit 402h. It may be premised that the route information output unit 402m is performing route guidance according to the guide route for each moving means.

  As shown in FIG. 10, first, the current position information acquisition unit 402a acquires current position information of a moving body such as a user (step SB-1). Here, the current position information acquisition unit 402a may acquire the current position information of the user every predetermined cycle (for example, every second). As an example, the current position information acquisition unit 402a acquires the position information calculated from the position information signal received from the position transmission device 500 by the position acquisition unit 412 as the current position information of the user of the movement information aggregation device 400. Also good. Further, the direction information such as the traveling direction of the movement information totaling device 400 detected by the direction sensor or the like of the position acquisition unit 412 or the acceleration information of the movement information totalization device 400 detected by the acceleration sensor of the position acquisition unit 412 is moved. It may be acquired as the current position information of the user of the information totalization apparatus 400. Note that the current position information acquisition unit 402a is not limited to acquiring the current position information via the position acquisition unit 412. If the user ID is the same, the current position information acquisition unit 402a receives the current position information from the external device 600 via the network 300. You may acquire by receiving position information. Here, the current position information acquisition unit 402a may acquire the date and time information of acquiring the current position information together with the current position information of the user. Note that the current position information acquisition unit 402a may include the positioning type of the current position information (such as the type of GPS, IMES, base station positioning, or the wi-fi environment) in the current position information. Further, the current position information acquisition unit 402a may include movement-related information regarding cradle installation, USB connection, IC reader contact, and the like of the movement information aggregation device 400 in the current position information. In addition, the current position information acquisition unit 402a may include movement related information indicating the moving means related to the application in the current position information according to the guidance information providing application for each moving means being activated.

  Then, the movement information calculation unit 402b performs determination of the moving means and calculation of the movement distance based on the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a (step SB-2). As the determination process of the moving means, the movement information calculation unit 402b determines the moving means (type of walking, train, bicycle, car, etc.) based on the history of the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a. May be. For example, the movement information calculation unit 402b may determine the moving means according to the movement speed, acceleration, or the like based on the current position information history. For example, when the number of steps can be counted by acceleration or vibration of the current position information, it may be determined that the moving means is walking. Further, according to the movement-related information included in the current position information, it may be determined that the vehicle is a moving means such as an automobile or a bullet train if the cradle is installed or connected to the USB, and the moving means is a bus or train if the IC reader is touched. Further, the movement information calculation unit 402b may determine the movement means based on the positioning type stored in the current position information. For example, if the positioning type is GPS, the movement information calculation unit 402b is an outdoor movement means, and if IMES, it is an indoor movement means. You may determine with a moving means (walking etc.). Further, the movement information calculation unit 402b performs matching on the network data stored in the network database 406a and / or the map data stored in the map database 406b based on the current position information. Thus, the moving means and the moving distance may be determined. For example, the movement information calculation unit 402b may determine that the moving means is a car if the current position information matches road network data such as an expressway, and if the current position information matches the route network data, The vehicle may be determined to be a train, and if the in-facility network data is matched, the moving means may be determined to be walking. Note that the movement information calculation unit 402b may identify the movement unit by controlling the user to select the movement unit via the input unit 416 when the movement information calculation unit 402b cannot identify the movement unit. Note that the movement information calculation unit 402b may perform re-determination of the movement unit every predetermined time or each time the current position information is updated, and may detect the switching of the movement unit. Note that even when the movement information calculation unit 402b temporarily determines switching of another moving means, it may be determined that the moving means before and after the moving means continues to move. For example, when a train is temporarily moved on foot in a station facility at the time of a train transfer, it may be determined as a train moving means before and after the transfer without determining the switching of the moving means to walk. In addition, the movement information calculation unit 402b is based on applications (such as a walking navigation service, a train transfer guidance service, a bicycle navigation service, and an automobile navigation service) that are currently provided based on the route information output by the route information output unit 402m. The moving means may be determined. In addition, the movement information calculation unit 402b may determine the movement means using a known movement means determination method described in Patent Document 3 or the like.

  Following the moving unit determination process, the movement information calculation unit 402b determines the movement distance based on the current position information and the like acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a. For example, the movement information calculation unit 402b may calculate the movement distance based on a distance between points based on the history of the current position information (a linear distance connecting latitude and longitude). Further, the movement information calculation unit 402b may calculate the movement distance between them based on the matching result to the network data for each moving means. Thus, rather than simply calculating the travel distance from the locus of the current position information, the candidate route that can be moved by the moving means is limited by the link distance by map matching, etc., so that a more accurate travel distance can be calculated Can do. The movement information calculation unit 402b may calculate the movement distance according to the route information output from the route information output unit 402m.

  Then, based on the movement information calculated by the movement information calculation unit 402b, the movement information storage unit 402c stores movement information, which is a movement distance for each moving means or each application, in the movement database 406d (step SB-3). . Here, the movement information storage unit 402c may store the movement information in association with the user identification number of the user, and stores the movement information in association with the terminal identification number of the movement information totalizing apparatus 400. May be. Here, the movement information storage unit 402c may accumulate the movement distance for each movement means in a predetermined time unit (for example, one month unit). That is, the movement information storage unit 402c may update and store the accumulated movement distance for each movement unit in the movement database 406d.

  Then, the output information generation unit 402d generates output information based on the movement distance for each moving means stored in the movement database 406d by the movement information storage unit 402c (step SB-4). For example, the output information generation unit 402d may generate output information indicating the accumulated movement distance associated with the movement unit based on the movement information stored in the movement database 406d. Further, the output information generation unit 402d may generate output information including the movement distance of the latest recognized moving means based on the latest movement information in the movement information history stored in the movement database 406d. Good. Note that the output information generation unit 402d may display the movement distance in which the display mode is changed for each movement unit while including the movement trajectories of all the movement units. In addition, the output information generation unit 402d may generate output information in a text format or a list format, without being superimposed on the map data or the route information. Further, the output information generation unit 402d accumulates the number of travel days and distance from the start of the service, each travel means (walking, train, bicycle, etc.) based on the travel information of each travel means stored in the travel data database 406d. Output information indicating the number of days traveled and the distance traveled in a table format may be generated. The output information generation unit 402d may generate output information including billing information. In this case, the threshold determination unit 402f determines whether or not a predetermined threshold (a predetermined distance or the like) has been reached based on the movement distance for each moving means stored in the movement database 406d, and reaches the predetermined threshold. If it is determined that it has been made, the charging information generated by the charging processing unit 402g is added to the output information. Note that the threshold determination unit 402f may weight the moving distance according to the moving means, and whether or not the predetermined threshold is reached based on the index value that is the moving distance weighted for each moving means. Such a determination may be made. Here, the threshold value determination unit 402f may determine whether or not the moving distance of any of the plurality of moving units exceeds an upper limit of a predetermined threshold set for each moving unit. The threshold determination unit 402f may perform threshold determination processing at a predetermined timing. For example, the threshold determination unit 402f may perform determination after a predetermined time elapses after the provision of guidance information by the route information output unit 402m. The determination may be made on the closing date. Further, in order to notify the user when the accumulated distance or index value approaches the threshold even if the predetermined threshold for charging is not exceeded, the output information generation unit 402d generates output information to notify that fact. Also good.

  Then, the output information output unit 402d outputs the output information generated by the output information generation unit 402d to the output unit 414 (step SB-5). For example, the output information output unit 402d may display and output the output information on the output unit 414 of the display unit such as a monitor, or may output the output information to the output unit 414 of the audio output unit such as a speaker. The output information output unit 402d may output the output information by transmitting it to the external device 600 via the network 300.

  The above is an example of the process of the movement information collection device 400. In the present embodiment, control may be performed so that the processes in steps SB-1 to SB-5 described above are repeated. Further, the details described in the first embodiment can be similarly applied to the second embodiment.

  The above is an example of the process of the movement information totalization device 400 in the second embodiment.
