[0060] <2. Processing flow> A broadcast data management method using the broadcast data management system of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 4 to 6. Figure 4 is a diagram showing a processing flow in which operation information and broadcast template data are registered in the manager terminal device 3, and broadcast reservation data is registered for each stop pattern, up to the output processing of broadcast data.

[0061] <2.1. Registering operation information> First, in step S1 (hereinafter, "step SX" will be simply referred to as "SX"), the operation information registration unit 11 registers operation information. In this embodiment, the operation information registration unit 11 accepts GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) from the administrator terminal device 3 and registers operation information. Here, GTFS is a text data group created according to certain rules, and includes stop names, stop location information, and schedule information.

[0062] The operation information registration unit 11 also accepts and registers operation broadcast information from the manager terminal device 3.

The operation information registration unit 11 identifies the bus stop ID of the bus stop corresponding to the trip ID from the bus stop master based on the bus stop master, the trip ID, and the service sequence, and registers the stop pattern information by rearranging the identified bus stop IDs based on the service sequence.

[0064] In this embodiment, the operation information registration unit 11 registers stop pattern information based on GTFS and work information, but it is also possible to display a screen on which bus stops can be specified and to register stop pattern information based on the accepted stops and their order by accepting the specification of the stops.

[0065] <2.2. Registering broadcast template information> At S2, the template registration unit 12 registers broadcast template information. In this embodiment, the template registration unit 12 accepts and registers, as broadcast template information, broadcast template data including a broadcast reference frame and fixed template text, template audio information including reading text data of the fixed template text, and an expiration date from the administrator terminal device 3. In addition, the template registration unit 12 accepts designation of multiple broadcast template data from the registered broadcast template information, and registers a broadcast template set in which the designated broadcast template data are broadcast in order.

[0066] In this embodiment, the broadcast template data and the broadcast template set are described separately, but the broadcast template set may be the broadcast template data.

[0067] <2.3. Registering broadcast reservation data> In S3, the broadcast reservation data registration unit 13 registers the broadcast reservation data. In this embodiment, the broadcast reservation data registration unit 13 accepts the designation of a stop pattern, further accepts the designation of a stop section to be broadcast among a plurality of stop sections linked to the stop pattern, and accepts the designation of broadcast template data to be used for broadcasting in the stop section, thereby registering operation broadcast reservation data linked to the designated stop pattern, stop section, and broadcast template data as broadcast reservation data.

[0068] 5 is a screen displayed on the manager terminal device 3, and is an example of a display screen listing bus stop sections for which broadcast reservation data has been registered. In the illustrated example, "062012-Teratani Loop (Tsuru 06)" is specified as the stop pattern, and a list of multiple bus stop sections associated with the stop pattern is displayed. In addition, by accepting the press of the "Edit" button for each bus stop section and accepting the specification of broadcast template data to be used for broadcasting the specified bus stop section, text data of operation broadcast reservation data based on the specified stop pattern, bus stop section, and broadcast template data is displayed.

[0069] Specifically, the output processing unit 16 accepts the designation of a stop pattern, a stop section, and broadcast template data, and based on the text data of the broadcast reference frame of the broadcast template data, the route broadcast information of the route linked to the designated stop pattern, the stop broadcast information of the starting stop, and the stop broadcast information of the ending stop, and the stop broadcast information of the next stop that is the end point of the specified stop section, outputs operation broadcast reservation data in which the text data of the route name (in the illustrated example, "Tsuru 06 Line" and "Teratani Circular Line"), the starting stop name (in the illustrated example, "Tsurumi Station West Exit"), the ending stop name (in the illustrated example, "Tsurumi Station West Exit"), and the next stop name (in the illustrated example, "Toyooka 1-chome") are embedded in the broadcast reference frame.

[0070] The broadcast reservation data registration unit 13 also accepts advertising content data and registers advertising broadcast reservation data as broadcast reservation data. In this embodiment, the broadcast reservation data registration unit 13 accepts designation of a stop pattern, a bus stop section, and an advertising frame from the user terminal device 4, and further accepts input of advertising content data to be broadcast in the bus stop section. Then, triggered by settlement processing of the advertising fee corresponding to the route of the designated stop pattern, the broadcast reservation data registration unit 13 registers advertising broadcast reservation data to be broadcast on the route based on the accepted advertising content data.

[0071] In the example shown in Figure 5, in the section from "Tsurumi Station West Exit" to "Toyooka 1-Chome," the following is displayed as registered advertising broadcast reservation data: "If you have any concerns about your urinary system, please feel free to consult with XXX Urology. XXX Urology is located at the west exit of Tsurumi Station, next to YYY Gynecology."

[0072] <2.4. Registering stop locations> In S4, the route registration unit 14 registers the route stops. In this embodiment, when the output processing unit 16 accepts the designation of a stop pattern, it outputs a stop matrix in which departure stops are arranged on one axis and arrival stops are arranged on the other axis for multiple stops based on the stop pattern. Then, the route registration unit 14 accepts the designation of a combination of departure stops and arrival stops in the stop matrix, and registers the arrival stops that make up the combination as route stops seen from the departure stops that make up the combination, linked to the designated stop pattern.

[0073] FIG. 6 is a display example of a stop matrix displayed on the administrator terminal device 3. In the illustrated example, "062012-Teratani Loop (Tsuru06)" is specified as a stop pattern, and multiple stops associated with the stop pattern form the axes of the stop matrix, with the vertical axis being the departure stop and the horizontal axis being the arrival stop. And, among the combinations of multiple departure stops and arrival stops associated with the stop pattern, a combination of the departure stop and an arrival stop after the departure stop can be specified at a certain departure stop. In the illustrated example, "Teratani Corner" and "Terao Junior High School Entrance" are registered as intermediate stops as viewed from "Tsurumi Station West Exit," and "Teratani Corner" and "Terao Junior High School Entrance" are registered as intermediate stops as viewed from "Toyooka 1-chome."

[0074] <2.5.Broadcast data output processing> In S5, the output processing unit 16 outputs the broadcast data. In this embodiment, the output processing unit 16 outputs the broadcast data based on the broadcast reservation data registered in S3, the stop along the route registered in S4, and the operation broadcast information.

[0075] Specifically, the output processing unit 16 associates the route broadcast information of the route associated with the stop pattern, the stop broadcast information of the starting stop, and the stop broadcast information of the end stop, the stop broadcast information of the next stop that is the end point of the specified stop section, and the stop broadcast information of the stop that is the end stop, with respect to the broadcast reference frame of the broadcast template data registered as the broadcast reservation data, based on the stop pattern and the stop section associated with the broadcast reservation data registered in S3 and the stop along the route for each stop pattern registered in S4, and outputs the broadcast reservation data based on the broadcast template data. In other words, in a broadcast based on the broadcast reservation data, the voice and text based on the broadcast template data and the voice and text of the stop, etc. associated in the broadcast reference frame of the broadcast reservation data are output.

[0076] For example, if the broadcast reservation data is registered as "This bus stops at [route], [via], [destination]. Next stop is [stop name], [stop name]," then route voice information of the route linked to the specified stop pattern is associated with [route], stop voice information of the specified via stop is associated with [via], stop voice information of the terminal stop in the specified stop pattern is associated with [destination], and stop voice information of the next stop in the specified stop section is associated with [stop name]. Then, based on the voice information associated with the broadcast reference frame, the via stop name, terminal stop name, and next stop name are broadcast.

[0077] By performing steps S1 to S5 above, operation information and broadcast template information can be registered, and broadcast data can be broadcast inside the bus simply by specifying the broadcast template information for the desired bus stop section. By registering the broadcast template information, the user can easily register broadcast reservation data to be broadcast for each bus stop section, making the registration of bus broadcast data more efficient.

[0078] In addition, the output processing by the display processing unit in this embodiment may be a process of outputting various screens by transmitting various information stored in database 2 and instructions to the output unit 905 to display various screens, or a process of outputting various screens by transmitting various information stored in database 2 and instructions to the output unit 905 to generate and display various screens.

[0079] The output process by the broadcast processing unit in this embodiment is a process of transmitting broadcast data generated based on the broadcast reservation data and the operation sound information of the operation broadcast information to the vehicle-mounted device 80, and having the speaker 81 of the vehicle-mounted device 80 broadcast the broadcast data. On the other hand, the output process may be a process of transmitting the broadcast reservation data, the operation broadcast information, and an instruction to generate the broadcast data to the vehicle-mounted device 80, and having the speaker 81 of the vehicle-mounted device 80 broadcast the broadcast data. Alternatively, the output process may be a process of transmitting broadcast data generated based on the text data of the broadcast reservation data and the operation broadcast information to the vehicle-mounted device 80, and having the monitor of the vehicle-mounted device 80 display the broadcast data. Alternatively, the output process may be a process of transmitting the broadcast reservation data, the operation broadcast information, and an instruction to generate the broadcast data to the vehicle-mounted device 80, and having the monitor of the vehicle-mounted device 80 display the broadcast data.
