Schedule system and schedule method

The present invention relates to a scheduling system and an itinerary method, and more particularly to a scheduling system and an itinerary method for assisting a user and visually arranging the trip.

In the prior art, the user has a lot of inconveniences in the process of arranging the trip. The inconvenience mainly comes from various factors that need to be considered in arranging the trip, such as how the location is decided, the order of each location, the transportation of the vehicle, various time issues. (such as the store's business hours, waiting time, traffic time), etc., because the considerations are too complicated and trivial, so to plan a better travel itinerary or travel trip usually takes a lot of time to filter all kinds of information one by one.

There is currently no system or method that integrates all relevant information to help users and is visually accessible to the user. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an itinerary system and an itinerary method to improve the problems of the prior art.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an itinerary system that assists a user in visually arranging a trip.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of scheduling for use in an electronic device for a user to schedule a trip.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method of scheduling that assists a plurality of users in generating a time and place for a common meeting.

To achieve the above objective, the scheduling system of the present invention includes a target location group, a location database, a time schedule module, and a trip route map generation module. The target location group includes a plurality of target locations, wherein at least one target location is selected by a user; the location database includes: plural locations, wherein at least one target location is selected from a plurality of locations; and a plurality of location related information Corresponding to time-related information and spatial related information of each plural location; a time itinerary module, which generates a time schedule for the user to place in the target location, and the time schedule module visually displays the target location and the adjacent target location The time series relationship, the time itinerary module also judges the reasonableness of the open time and the reasonableness of the traffic time according to the information about the plural location of the corresponding target location; and the travel route map generation module, according to the spatial related information of the target location and The time series relationship visualizes the travel path map with time series relationships. When the user performs a visual stroke editing operation through the stroke path map generation module, the time schedule module further generates a corresponding time schedule or when the user performs a visual stroke editing operation through the time schedule module, the travel path map is generated. The module in turn generates a corresponding travel path map.

In order to achieve the above other object, the travel scheduling method of the present invention comprises the steps of: obtaining a plurality of target locations, the plurality of target locations being locations where the user is scheduled to arrive, and each of the plurality of target locations having corresponding information of the plurality of target locations; The relevant information of the target location generates the initial itinerary, in which the initial itinerary must meet the judgment of time rationality and spatial rationality; the itinerary and the map are generated; the itinerary shows the relationship between the multiple target locations and time in the initial itinerary, and the map simultaneously displays the plural target locations and The relationship between time and the spatial relationship of the plural target location; the itinerary editing adjustment is performed on the itinerary or map, and the itinerary editing adjustment is included in the itinerary, adding another target location, deleting one of the plural target locations, or moving the plural One of the target locations, where the schedule editing adjustment must satisfy the time rationality judgment and the spatial rationality judgment; generate the stroke editing adjustment auxiliary message; and generate the first planning itinerary.

In order to achieve the above further object, the present invention includes the following steps: obtaining the complex stroke; obtaining at least one restriction condition, the constraint condition includes a length of time required for the meeting, and the length of time required for the meeting is the plural user The length of time expected in the meeting; if the conditional restriction does not specify the meeting place, the following steps are performed: comparing the plurality of itineraries to obtain a first common time period, wherein the first common time period is the plural user in the respective During the first itinerary, a period of time required for the meeting can be discharged; in the first common period, a first target location is generated according to a spatial rationality judgment, and the spatial rationality judgment must consider a traffic consumed by an individual user.

The difference between the traffic resource parameters that the plural user spends is less or the difference between the traffic resource parameters that the plural user separately spends If the conditional restriction specifies the meeting place, the following steps are performed: comparing the plurality of itineraries to obtain a first common time period, wherein the first common time period is that the plurality of users can be discharged into the respective plurality of itineraries Comparing the time period of the required length of time; comparing the plurality of strokes to obtain a second common time period, wherein the time period is a period of time required for the plurality of users to be discharged into the meeting in each of the plurality of itineraries; the meeting place Forming a first combination with the first common period and forming a second combination with the second time period, and determining the first combination or the second combination according to a spatial rationality judgment, the spatial rationality judgment must be considered The traffic resource parameter used by the individual user is such that the sum of the traffic resource parameters spent by the plurality of users is less or the difference between the traffic resource parameters additionally consumed by the plurality of users is less. The resource parameter includes a traffic resource parameter and an outgoing traffic resource parameter, and the traffic resource parameter is an individual user from a previous position. The value of the traffic resources spent at the meeting place and the departure traffic resource parameter is the value of the traffic resources spent by the individual user from the meeting location to the subsequent location, but the meeting location and the previous location, the meeting The location and the back location, or the front location and the back location may be the same geographic location.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more <

Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 together. 1 is an architectural diagram of the scheduling system of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an embodiment of a screen screen using the scheduling system of the present invention. The itinerary system 1 allows the user to arrange the trip in a visual manner. The itinerary system 1 includes a target location group 50, a location database 10, a time schedule module 20, and a trip route map generation module 30.

The target location group 50 is composed of a plurality of target locations 52, 52a, 52b, and at least one of the target locations 52, 52a, 52b is selected by the user to indicate where the user desires to go. In addition, a portion of the target locations 52, 52a, 52b may be automatically generated by the scheduling system 1. Wherein, the plurality of target locations 52, 52a, 52b of the target location group 50 may be prioritized according to importance, relevance, chronological order or other factors. Taking FIG. 2 as an example, the priority of the target locations 52, 52a, 52b is the target location 52, the target location 52a, and the target location 52b. The location database 10 stores various messages related to tourist attractions, including a plurality of locations 12 and a plurality of location related information 14. The location 12 is a reference location for the user to select, and the user can select the location to be participated by the plurality of locations 12 to become the target location 52. The target location 52 will be presented to the screen 90 in a different manner, for example, in the form of an object square for the user to reference or further adjust the itinerary.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the embodiment, the screen 90 includes a target location display area 80, a travel path map display area 70, and a time schedule display area 60. The target locations 52, 52a, 52b are displayed in a different manner in the target location display area 80, the travel path map display area 70, and the time schedule display area 60. In the present embodiment, the target locations 52, 52a, 52b of the target location display area 80 are displayed in a time sequential manner, and the target locations 52, 52a, 52b of the travel route map display area 70 are displayed by the location of the map, and the time schedule is displayed. The target locations 52, 52a, 52b of the display area 60 are displayed as object squares. However, the manner in which the screen 90 of the present invention is presented is not limited thereto.

In the present embodiment, the screen 90 displays the cursor 92 for the user to operate the cursor using the mouse or to operate the cursor with a finger to perform a visual operation by clicking or dragging. Visualized itinerary editing mainly includes the following operations:

(1) The user operates the cursor 92 to move the target point 52 in the target location display area 80 to the time schedule display area 60 or the travel path map display area 70.

If the target location 52 is moved to the time schedule display area 60, the time schedule display area 60 displays the target location 52 (as shown in FIG. 2) in a graphic (eg, rectangular or elliptical, etc.), and the location of the graphic is coordinated. The time to go. If the target location 52 is moved to the travel route map display area 70, the geographic location of the target location 52 is displayed in the travel route map display area 70. If there are multiple target locations 52, the target locations may be selected according to the user's selected order. 52 series connection is the travel route map. It should be noted that the travel route map may be manually generated by the user in a time series, that is, the target locations 52 may be connected in series according to the selected order, or may be generated by the travel scheduling system 1 automatically connecting the target locations 52 in series.

The time schedule and the travel route map can be mutually generated. When the user performs a visual stroke editing operation through the travel route map generation module 30, the time schedule module 20 further generates a corresponding one-time travel schedule and displays it in the time schedule display area 60; when the user passes the time travel The watch module 20 performs a visualized stroke editing operation, and the travel path map generation module 30 further generates a corresponding one of the travel path maps and displays them on the travel path map display area 70.

(2) The user operates the cursor 92 to "add", "delete", "move" or "substitute" the target locations 52, 52a, 52b on the time schedule display area 60 or the travel path map display area 70. The "moving" target locations 52, 52a, 52b are used to change the start and end time in the time schedule display area 60, or to change the order of the target locations 52 in the travel path map display area 70 to generate different path maps. . In addition, the "substitution" is to replace the target location 52 already displayed in the time schedule display area 60 or the travel path map display area 70 with another target location.

(3) Display a recommended place that is related to the target location 52, 52a or 52b

1. When the user moves the cursor 92 to the target location display area 80, the recommended location (e.g., a similar location) is generated based on the target location 52, 52a or 52b corresponding to the location of the cursor 92.

2. When the user moves the cursor 92 in the time schedule display area 60, the recommended location is generated according to the target location 52, 52a or 52b corresponding to the location of the cursor 92, for example, when the cursor 92 is in the time travel At the target location 52 of the table display area 60, a location similar to its nature is recommended; for example, when the location of the cursor 92 is in the time blank (i.e., idle time) before or after the target location 52 of the time schedule display area 60. In this case, a location similar to the target location 52 is recommended.

3. When the user moves the cursor 92 in the travel path map display area 70, the recommended location is generated based on the target location 52 corresponding to the location of the cursor 92.

Each location related information 14 includes time related information 16 and spatial related information 18 corresponding to the location. Among them, the time related information 16 includes business hours information, best arrival time, average visit time, or average waiting time. The spatial related information 18 includes geographic location information (e.g., address, latitude and longitude, etc.) representing the target location 52, or a relative location of the street and the street.

The plurality of location related information 14 corresponding to each of the plurality of locations 12 further includes recommendation related information 19, and the recommendation related information 19 generates a replacement group according to the type of each plural location 12, the spatial related information 18, or other related materials.

For example, when the type of local point 12 is a restaurant, the substitution place group includes other restaurants with the same level or characteristics as the restaurant; when the local space 12 is related to the Taipei area, the replacement place group Including other locations in the Taipei area.

The time schedule module 20 generates a time schedule for the user to place in the target location 52. As shown in FIG. 2, the time schedule display area 60 visually displays the time series relationship of the target location 52 and the adjacent target locations 52a, 52b. In this embodiment, the time series relationship is sequentially the target location 52, the target location 52a, and the target location 52b. The time schedule module 20 also determines the open time rationality and the traffic time rationality based on the time related information 16 corresponding to the target locations 52, 52a, 52b. The following are explained below.

(1) Reasonable opening time:

The timetable must be the opening hours of the store's business hours or locations. Each target location 52 corresponds to an arrival time and a departure time, and the open time rationality is the arrival time and the departure time are the business hours of the target location 52. Therefore, when the arrival time is earlier than the opening time, or the departure time is later than the closing time, it is unreasonable, and the user must be reminded.

(2) Reasonable traffic time:

The travel time between adjacent destinations must be reasonable. The time itinerary module 20 alerts the user when the distance between the adjacent target locations and the predetermined vehicle is used to obtain reasonable information on the traffic time, when it is unreasonable (for example, the traffic time is not enough to catch up with the next target location).

Among them, the above-mentioned open time rationality judgment or traffic time rationality judgment can generate visual or audible warning or notification through a computer system or a network server under certain conditions.

Further, there is a traffic time between adjacent target locations 52. At this time, the reasonableness of the traffic time is determined to be that the traffic time is not less than a predetermined time. When the traffic time is less than the predetermined time, it means that the traffic time is insufficient, and the time interval must be increased or the time of staying at the place must be reduced.

Among them, the open time rationality corresponds to any location has its opening or business hours. The time-related information on which the open time rationality is based is "individual". In contrast, a location corresponds to an adjacent location (ie, the previous location or the latter location) for which time is spent on transportation, and the time-related information on which the reasonableness of the traffic time is judged is "relative." Even if some of the time-related information is more specific and part of the information is more relative, the common feature of this information is that it will change due to external conditions and environmental changes. For example, the time itinerary module 20 or the travel path map generation module 30 visually displays the traffic time between adjacent target locations 52, which varies with the conditions of the vehicle combination being boarded. Traffic conditions in different time or weather conditions also cause traffic time to change. For example, the travel time required to take a taxi is less than that of a bus. If it is a peak time, the traffic time will increase regardless of the land vehicle. . For another example: when the restaurant is refurbished, its opening hours will change temporarily. When the time and space related information based on the rationality judgment changes with external conditions and environmental changes, the system dynamically adjusts the open time rationality judgment and traffic time for the user due to the change of relevant time and space information. The result of reasonable judgment or spatial rationality judgment is particularly convenient for the user to maintain his itinerary or calendar.

The travel path map generation module 30 visually displays the travel path map containing the time series relationship according to the spatial correlation information 18 of the target location 52 and the time series relationship. In the present embodiment, the travel route map is displayed in the travel route map display area 70, and a route map from the target location 52 to the target location 52a to the target location 52b is generated according to the order selected by the user.

When the user joins the target location during the stroke editing, the selected location can be added to the field of the time schedule display area 60 by dragging the mouse. The user can refer to the auxiliary information provided by the schedule system 1 Once placed in the appropriate position, or if the desired location is within the range of the itinerary, the itinerary system 1 automatically fills in the appropriate location. At this time, the rules on which the schedule system 1 is based include the rationality of the open time and the reasonableness of the traffic time as described above, as well as the judgment of spatial rationality. Among them, the principle of spatial rationality judgment is that, unless there are other restrictions, it is possible to collect the locations of adjacent locations as much as possible within a time interval of the trip, or to prevent the detours and efficient routes from being located adjacent to the location. The method of judging can be judged by a relatively small value of a value such as distance or traffic time or transportation cost, physical strength consumed, and the like. Therefore, it is also possible to use the traffic time of the adjacent location when judging the rationality of the space. However, the judgment principle is more comprehensive or more comprehensive than the judgment of the reasonableness of the traffic time, that is, thinking about the continuous location (a route) Whether the time series and spatial sequences of consecutive locations are efficient (do not waste traffic resources). The spatial rationality judgment can be used in the operation, and an automatic action can be performed after the internal operation of the scheduling system 1, for example, automatically adding new events or target locations; and providing auxiliary reference information, such as recommended locations or mergers, when the user edits the itinerary. A number of target locations, either when the editor comes to an end, by statistical values and graphs for the user to evaluate, or directly visualize the travel path for the user to adjust the itinerary.

Next, please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together to illustrate the actual operation mode of the travel scheduling method of the present invention. Figure 3 is a flow chart of the method of scheduling of the present invention. The scheduling method of the present invention is for an electronic device for a user to schedule a trip. For example, the electronic device can be a device with a screen and executable program operation such as a computer or a PDA. The itinerary method includes the following steps:

Step 300: preliminary steps

User information is obtained in this step, and a plurality of candidate locations are generated based on the user information.

Among them, the user information is what the user has to do, but there is no specific place. For example, the user information is for Taipei snacks, monuments, outdoor activities, literature and other information, and based on this information, multiple candidate locations are selected as recommended locations. The plurality of target locations of step 301 can be selected from a plurality of candidate locations.

It should be noted that this step can be omitted when the user has a specific place to go.

Step 301: Obtain multiple target locations

The itinerary system 1 obtains a plurality of target locations. The plurality of target locations 52, 52a, 52b are locations where the user is scheduled to arrive, and each of the plurality of target locations 52, 52a, 52b has corresponding information about the plurality of target locations.

For example, the relevant information of the target location may include information about the recommended location, related information of the same nature location, business hours information, geographic location information, best arrival time, average visit time, or average waiting time.

The geographic location information may be address information or latitude and longitude information. Information related to the same nature is related to other locations (such as museums in the same nature, same department stores, beef noodles, etc.).

Among them, the plurality of target locations 52, 52a, 52b can obtain the personal preference of the schedule according to the user's preference. For example, the schedule may be looser, the schedule is more dense, or the schedule may be arranged in a more economical manner, depending on the user's preference.

Step 302: Generate a preliminary trip according to the information related to the plurality of target locations, wherein the preliminary trip must satisfy the time rationality judgment and the spatial rationality judgment.

The spatial rationality judgment includes: concentrating the target locations with similar geographical locations, so as to concentrate the target locations of the same region, so as not to waste time.

Step 303: Generate a schedule and a map

The itinerary represents the time series relationship of the plurality of target locations 52, 52a, 52b in the preliminary itinerary; the sequence in which the map simultaneously represents the time of the plurality of target locations 52, 52a, 52b (as shown in FIG. 2, the arrow of the travel path map display area 70 indicates the order of And the spatial relationship of the plurality of target locations 52, 52a, 52b. In the present embodiment, the schedule is displayed in the time schedule display area 60, and the map is displayed on the travel path map display area 70.

Step 304: Perform stroke editing adjustment on the itinerary or map

The trip edit adjustment is included in the trip, adding another target location delete target location 52, 52a, 52b or mobile target location 52, 52a, 52b. Among them, the itinerary editing adjustment must also meet the time rationality judgment (including the rationality of open time and reasonable time of traffic) and the judgment of spatial rationality.

The itinerary and the map can be adjusted to each other. Further, when the schedule is adjusted, the map automatically generates a corresponding adjustment result; when the map is adjusted, the schedule automatically generates a corresponding adjustment result.

In addition, in this step, the schedule can be performed by sequentially connecting the plurality of target locations 52, 52a, 52b on the travel path map display area 70.

Step 305: Generate a stroke edit adjustment auxiliary message

The stroke editing adjustment auxiliary message is a reference message or a prompt message for the auxiliary user to edit and adjust the itinerary. For example, the stroke editing adjustment auxiliary message may be a prompt traffic time message, a recommended trip message, or a trip-collectible message, etc., and these trip editing adjustment auxiliary messages may be formed by time rationality judgment and spatial rationality judgment.

Step 306: Generate a first planned trip.

The first planned trip is generated according to the foregoing steps 300 to 305.

Step 307: Generate first trip statistical information about the first planned trip.

The first trip statistics include: path length information, time spent information, money spending information, or location information. However, the actual content of the first itinerary statistics is not limited to this.

Step 308: Obtain a second planned trip, visually comparing the first planned trip with the second planned trip.

The acquisition of the second planned itinerary, for example, may be a previously planned itinerary or a similar trip. The first planned trip and the second planned trip can be represented by two separate paths in the trip path map display area 70, so that the user can clearly understand the difference between the two trips on the path.

Step 309: Obtain a second trip statistical information of the second planned trip, and compare the first trip statistical information and the second trip statistical information numerically.

The first and second strokes can be numerically compared in a list or other manner. Among them, the comparison item may be path length information, time expenditure information, money expenditure information or location information of the same nature, for example, counting how many places the trip went to eat and drink, and how much time is used to include traffic time resources.

Step 310: The information about the plurality of locations changes, and the scheduling system again judges the rationality of the opening time and the reasonableness of the traffic time and informs the user.

After the visualized stroke editing operation is completed, the information related to the plurality of locations corresponding to at least one target location is changed, and the schedule scheduling system again judges the rationality of the opening time and the reasonableness of the traffic time, and displays or informs the user of the different judgment results in a timely manner. . For example, when a typhoon strikes, some locations 12 are not open, and traffic changes (such as train stops) affect the itinerary. With these instant information, you can keep track of the itinerary of the upcoming target location 52, and adjust the itinerary. This step can also be omitted when there is no change in the information about the multiple locations.

The itinerary system 1 can also be used on smaller electronic devices such as cell phones or PDAs. However, due to the limitation of the screen size, it is only possible to perform the stroke editing for the schedule screen, that is, only the time schedule display area 60 is displayed on the single screen screen, and the travel path map display area 70 and the target place display area 80 are not displayed. Even if only the schedule is implemented using the time schedule display area 60 as in Fig. 2, the various rationality judgment principles described above still apply. Further explanation is as follows:

When the itinerary is arranged using the itinerary, the user, like the previous embodiment, uses the cursor to select the event to be joined or the location to which he wants to go to the schedule. When an event is added, the system will bring up the corresponding location, or the user will specify the location, and the location information will be used in subsequent reasonable judgment. Regardless of the event or location, as shown in Figure 4, the representation is a box or other shaped box. The upper mark of the box (top edge of the box) represents the time when the event starts or the time of arrival at the place. The lower mark (the lower edge of the box) represents the time when the event ends or the time of leaving the place. The width of the frame can be freely adjusted or freely moved in the travel schedule. However, in order to make the entire trip reasonably feasible, the system will check whether the stroke is reasonable according to various rationality judgment principles described in other embodiments.

Among them, the open time rationality judgment is to judge whether the time block for dragging and placing the frame in the itinerary is appropriate, and the reasonable judgment of the traffic time is to judge whether the time distance between the frame and the previous or the next frame is reasonable. Traffic time. Of course, the so-called point-to-point (ie, the adjacent two target locations) traffic time is related to the combination of vehicles used, so the user can give the desired traffic combination by the system prompt. For example, the MRT or the MRT plus bus.

In addition, the spatial rationality judgment is to locate a location or event with similar geographical location, for example, when several boxes occur in a certain area and the traffic between them is about 5 to 10 minutes, or just from different floors in a building. Mobile, comparable to an amusement park area, when the original several boxes will be merged into an amusement park mode by system prompts or suggestions. As shown in FIG. 4, a larger block (indicated by a dashed box) of the target locations 52c, 52d, 52e is combined. The spacing of the small boxes in the larger boxes indicates that the requirements for time series and moving lines are not too precise and can be expressed in a loose or fuzzy manner.

As shown in FIG. 5, the user can indicate a relatively busy time period in the box representing the timetable, and of course, a relatively free time period. If the way of labeling is as shown in Figure 5, the touch screen is touched by hand-written graffiti, which produces a progressive effect of graffiti (such as pencil graffiti), and the color is darker when busy (ie, higher density). Or fill the width of the frame, the color is lighter (ie, lower density) than when it is idle, or the width of the frame is not filled (as shown in the lower edge of the target location 52f in FIG. 5).

The fuzzy theory can be used to make inferences when judging the rationality of open time and the rationality of traffic time. The result of the fuzzy theory can also be a fuzzy output. For example, the system determines that a reasonable traffic time interval is displayed in light red, and an unreasonable interval time (for example, insufficient traffic time) is indicated by deep red. The concept of ambiguity is the concept of possibility. For example, in daily life, some meetings can start with an error of five minutes, and some must start on time. Therefore, the concept of the fuzzy can be applied to mark the upper and lower margins (for example, there is a little graffiti on the upper edge of the target location 52g in Fig. 6, that is, the starting time is flexible), and the fuzzy theory is used when judging the rationality of the opening time and the rationality of the traffic time. Inference and cooperation in the smudge way to enter the concept of busy and not busy, very close to human nature. Since the fuzzy theory is a well-known technology, and the fuzzy inference engine provides a large number of software packages on the market, after defining the fuzzy input and the fuzzy output, it can be used directly, and will not be described here.

After the user initially arranges the trip on the electronic device, the electronic device can directly use the trip to remind the user or perform other applications. One of the embodiments is that the state of the electronic device is automatically adjusted according to the stroke, and the ringtone and the silent mode of the mobile phone are automatically entered, and the silent mode is automatically entered when busy.

In another embodiment, two users are invited to meet or meet each other after formulating a plurality of itineraries (referring to a plurality of days of trips). From the perspective of each person, it is expected that the meeting will add a new event or place in the itinerary as in the previous embodiment, so the individual itinerary plan must still be judged by reasonableness. The difference is that the two people added the same event (as shown by the dotted box in Figure 7). The specific embodiment of the system to help automatically match two people is as follows: When the event is added, the time schedule of the two-person trip must be considered at the same time, and the filling period must be available. For example, the left column of FIG. 7 is a time zone of the first user's multiple strokes, and the left column of FIG. 7 is a section of the second user corresponding to the time zone. Comparing the two people's journeys, at least one common time period can be found. 580.

The selection of the meeting place 600 corresponding to the event must be consistent with the spatial rationality judgment: the selection of the location must meet the benefits of both parties, that is, the traffic resources spent by both parties are minimized, and the transportation resources include but are not limited to the transportation time, transportation costs. Or the physical strength spent. The simple choice is to take the midpoint position of the two people's geographic location to meet the spatial rationality judgment. However, the choice of this location only considers the geographical location of the two parties in front of the meeting and only considers the absolute coordinates of the geographical location. For better choice, traffic resources such as traffic time should be assessed while considering the geographical location of the two parties in front of the meeting and the geographical location of the two parties after the meeting, that is, considering the itinerary route, so that the location is either by the two sides or at least not far. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the spatial rationality embodiments described below can also be used for the same person to evaluate different versions of the route in the same time zone. Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8A, if the first user's previous position 101 (ie, a trip before the scheduled meeting place) reaches the scheduled meeting place 600, the time is T1, and the scheduled meeting place 600 is returned to the rear position 102 (ie, one meeting after the scheduled meeting place). ) Spend time is T2. The second user's previous position 201 (ie, the position of a trip before the scheduled meeting place) to the scheduled meeting place 600 takes T3, and the scheduled meeting place 600 to the rear position 202 (ie, the position after the scheduled meeting place) takes time. T4, and the time T5 taken from the front position 101 to the rear position 102 is the original traffic time, and the same T6 is also the traffic time of the original second user when the meeting is not added. Figure 8A shows the system selecting another meeting place 600a, and the same T1' to T4' are the corresponding traffic times. A possible embodiment for generating a first target location based on spatial rationality is to compare the smaller of the sum of T1+T2+T3+T4 and T1'+T2'+T3'+T4', if T1+T2+T3 If the sum of +T4 is smaller, take the meeting place 600, or compare the sum of (T1+T2-T5)+(T3+T4-T6) with (T1'+T2'-T5)+(T3'+T4' The smaller value of the sum of -T6). Applying the above steps can be used to select one of several possible locations for analysis greater than two and choose the best meeting location. The traffic times of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T1', T2', T3', T4', etc. described above are one of the traffic resource parameters, and other traffic resource parameters such as transportation cost or physical strength may be used or A combination of different traffic resource parameters. Another option is to consider the additional cost of the traffic resources for both parties should be fair, (T1 + T2-T5) + (T3 + T4-T6) is the first user to spend extra travel time (compared to not joined The traffic time at the time of the meeting), the same reason (T1'+T2'-T5)+(T3'+T4'-T6) is the additional travel time for the second user. At this time, the absolute value of (T1+T2-T5)-(T3+T4-T6) and the absolute value of (T1'+T2'-T5)-(T3'+T4'-T6) are compared, which are relatively small. The above traffic resource parameters can be weighted under certain conditions. For example, if one person is a distinguished person, the weight can be appropriately adjusted so that the person's traffic resource parameter is increased or the corresponding person's itinerary is equivalent in a period of time. Compact, the person's traffic resource parameters are added during this period, and the result will be that the meeting will be more likely to meet as much as possible. An actual application is the weight given to the different traffic resource parameters by the salesperson to classify his customers.

After the initial selection of a meeting place, the reasonableness of the opening hours shall be judged, and the business hours or opening hours information of the meeting place shall be judged whether the time is within the time of opening and opening of the place; in addition, the reasonableness of the traffic time is judged and judged. Whether the event and the time of the previous event and the latter event are reserved for reasonable traffic time. The reasonableness of traffic time should be judged by considering T1 to T4 to determine whether the traffic time interval reserved in the individual's itinerary is reasonable.

It should be noted that considering the schedule of the two people's itinerary, there is more than one time for filling in the common free time. Therefore, the system can try every possible space within the number of days defined by the user, for example, considering the meeting itinerary to join the next day or the next day's itinerary, the system repeats the aforementioned rationality judgment to select a better location or comparison of each time period. a combination of the location or the plural location becomes a combination of an array of plural locations and a neutral time. From the combination, a plurality of meeting times and meeting locations are determined according to the aforementioned traffic rationality judgment, for example, three groups. The meeting time and the corresponding meeting place are selected by both parties.

In the beginning, the user can enter at least one restriction, such as the length of time it is expected to meet, how many days are expected to meet, or the location or location type, such as a more intimate restaurant. The system can reduce the foregoing steps according to the restriction conditions. For example, when the user designates a restaurant, the previous step judges that the part of the actual meeting place 600 can be skipped according to the spatial rationality, and the designated restaurant is regarded as the actual meeting place 600. For each common idle period, a few meeting time is determined according to the above-mentioned traffic rationality judgment for both parties to select.

When the two parties decide to meet, if one party needs to prepare the matter and then go to the location (before time) and after the previous location (in terms of time), it is necessary to go to a pre-position to prepare the matter, for example, The photocopying shop photocopyes a piece of information. The value of the traffic resource at this time includes the traffic resources from the front location to the predecessor location and the traffic resources of the predecessor location to the meeting location.

The above can be used for meeting schedules of more than two people. The user can upload the personal itinerary data to a system that can be located in two people's electronic devices or in a separate third person server.
