The providing unit 118 can provide information related to the degree of congestion up to the destination, for example, to the communication terminal 200 or another service providing company.

  Next, the communication terminal 200 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a communication terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the communication terminal 200 includes a control unit 210, a communication I / F unit 220, an input reception unit 230, a storage unit 240, a display unit 250, and an imaging unit 260.

  Here, the update of the congestion degree by the update unit 117 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, when a route search with “A point to B point” and arrival time “19:30” is executed at 18:30 as search conditions, the congestion degree is updated as time elapses. It is a figure explaining how to go. For the sake of explanation, it is assumed that the route searches in FIGS. 4 to 6 correspond to the communication terminals 200A to 200C, respectively. In each figure, assuming that the communication terminal 200 is moving along the route to the destination provided as a result of the route search, the communication terminal predicted to be located at a future time every certain time The position of 200 is indicated by “◯”. First, in FIG. 4, at the current time “18:30”, the communication terminal 200A is at “point A” at the time “18:30” (current position 10). If the current time “18:30” moves on the route to the destination, the communication terminal 200A is positioned at the position indicated by the prediction result 11 at the future time “19:00”. Therefore, at “19:30” set as the arrival time in the future time, as shown in the prediction result 12, the communication terminal 200A is located at “B point”. At this time, the degree of congestion at “B point” at “19:30” includes an amount corresponding to 0.8 of the communication terminal 200A. That is, it can be said that the probability that the communication terminal 200A exists at “B point” at “19:30” is, for example, 80% (the accuracy of the congestion degree is “80%”).

  Assume that the time has elapsed and the position of the communication terminal 200 </ b> A is at the position indicated by the current position 13 at the current time “19:00”. This is the same as the position of the predicted position 11 predicted at the time of the past time “18:30”. Accordingly, the probability that the communication terminal 200A is located at the “B point” at the future time “19:30” is increased, and the degree of congestion at the “B point” at “19:30” is increased by the communication terminal 200A. Can be considered. That is, it can be said that the probability that the communication terminal 200A exists at “B point” at “19:30” is, for example, 90% (the accuracy of the congestion degree is “90%”). Thereafter, as indicated by the current position 15, the communication terminal 200 </ b> A arrives at “point B” at the current time “19:30”.

  Next, FIG. 5 will be described. 5, the current position 20 and the predicted positions 21 and 22 are the same as the current position 10 and the predicted positions 11 and 12 in FIG. Unlike FIG. 4, as shown at the current position 23 in FIG. 5, the communication terminal 200 </ b> B is on the route to the destination, but at the current time “19:00”, the past time “18:30”. The predicted position 21 is different from the predicted position 21. At this time, the updating unit 117 updates the predicted position of the communication terminal 200B based on the moving speed of the communication terminal 200B, and the position of the communication terminal 200B predicted at the current time “19:00” is predicted. Assume that the position shown in the result 24 is reached. That is, the degree of congestion at “B point” at “19:30” includes an amount corresponding to 0.8 of the communication terminal 200B, and is the same as the degree of congestion predicted at the past time “18:30”. Thus, the congestion level is not updated. At this time, if the time when the communication terminal 200B arrives at “B point” is predicted to be “19:50” (calculated from the moving speed or the like), “B” at the future time “18:50” The congestion level of “point” will be updated.

  Next, FIG. 6 will be described. 6, the current position 30 and the predicted positions 31 and 32 are the same as the current position 10 and the predicted positions 11 and 12 in FIG. Unlike the current position 33 in FIG. 6, the communication terminal 200 </ b> C has a position different from the predicted position 21 predicted at the past time “18:30” at the current time “19:00”. Furthermore, it is not located on the route to the destination. In such a case, the update unit 117 does not use the information on the communication terminal 200C for updating the congestion degree. Note that the updating unit 117 may not be used for updating the degree of congestion when a predetermined time or more has elapsed since the route to the destination as a search result has been removed.

  As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is determined based on the location information of the communication terminal 200 whether the communication terminal 200 is moving based on the result of the route search, moves on the route, and arrives. When there is the communication terminal 200 at a position predicted from the time, the probability of reaching the destination is high and the congestion degree of the destination can be updated. At this time, the location information of the communication terminal 200 is acquired at a predetermined interval, the congestion level is updated, and terminals with a low possibility of reaching the destination are excluded from the congestion level update. It is possible to provide a degree of congestion in line with changes.

  The providing unit 118 can provide display information for displaying information on the degree of congestion in a heat map format. FIG. 7 shows an example of a display unit of the communication terminal 200 on which information on the degree of congestion is displayed in a heat map format. The screen example 50 in FIG. 7A displays the degree of congestion of “April 9, 2018 19:30” in the future at the current time “18:00”. Areas that are predicted to have a high degree of congestion are displayed in dark colors (hatching in the example in the figure), and areas that are predicted to be low are displayed in light colors. The user can select the date and time for which the degree of congestion is to be displayed by, for example, a pull-down menu, a radio button, text input, or the like. Since the degree of congestion is displayed in a heat map format, it is possible to provide a display that allows the user to immediately identify the degree of congestion. Note that the screen example 51 in FIG. 7B displays the degree of congestion of “April 9, 2018 19:30” in the future at the current time “18:30”. As described above, since the congestion degree is updated based on the position information of the plurality of communication terminals 200, the state of the screen example 50 and the state of the screen example 51 change. Further, the degree of congestion displayed at the current time “18:30” is more accurate than the degree of congestion displayed at the current time “18:00”.

  Next, the processing of the server 100 described above will be described using the flowchart of FIG. First, the route information acquisition unit 113 acquires r information related to a destination in the route search executed by each communication terminal 200 and information related to a route to at least one destination as a search result by the route search. (Step S11). The position information acquisition unit 114 acquires position information of the plurality of communication terminals 200 (step S12). The acquisition of the position information may be performed at a predetermined interval, and the processing after step S12 may also be performed at a predetermined interval. The determination unit 116 determines whether or not the plurality of communication terminals 200 are located on the route to the destination (step S13). If it is determined that it is located, the process proceeds to step S14, and the updating unit 117 updates the congestion degree of the destination according to the number of communication terminals 200 located on the route to the destination as a search result by the route search. (Step S14). The providing unit 118 provides information on the degree of congestion at the destination (step S15). If it is determined in step S13 that the communication terminal 200 is determined not to be located, the control is performed so that the communication terminal 200 that is determined not to be located is not used for updating the congestion degree after a predetermined time has elapsed since the communication terminal 200 is no longer positioned on the route. Is made.

  Note that the updating unit 117 may update the congestion level of the destination based on information on the past congestion status of the destination. For example, the update unit 117 updates the congestion degree based on the route search in the communication terminal 200 and the position information of the communication terminal 200 for the information related to the actual congestion status on the same day and the same time of the previous year. May be. Moreover, even if it is not the same day and the same time of the previous year, for example, the congestion degree may be updated with respect to the past congestion situation corresponding to the same event, the same day of the week, or the like. Thereby, the accuracy of the degree of congestion can be improved.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and corrections based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so that there is no logical contradiction, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. . The structures described in the above embodiments may be combined as appropriate. For example, each component described as being included in the server 100 may be realized by being distributed by a plurality of servers. Further, the processing described as the function of the server 100 may be performed by the communication terminal 200. Conversely, the processing that is performed by the communication terminal 200 may be performed by the server 100.

  For example, the display of the degree of congestion may be performed in a 3D format. In that case, the amount of information can be further increased by setting the degree of congestion as high and the accuracy as color.

  Each functional unit of the server 100 may be realized by a logic circuit (hardware) or a dedicated circuit formed in an integrated circuit (IC (Integrated Circuit) chip, LSI (Large Scale Integration)) or the like, or a CPU (Central It may be realized by software using a Processing Unit. Each functional unit may be realized by one or a plurality of integrated circuits, and the functions of the plurality of functional units may be realized by a single integrated circuit.
