[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each drawing, components having equivalent functions are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description of the components having the same reference numerals will not be repeated.

[0009] (Outline of information processing system) The information processing system 10 in this embodiment is a system that creates a driving instruction sheet based on an itinerary created by a travel agency or the like, and by having the driver's terminal read the recognition information output (added) to the driving instruction sheet, it is possible to search for a driving route similar to the itinerary created by a travel agency or the like.

[0010] 3 is a diagram showing an example of a workflow using the information processing system 10 of this embodiment. The information processing system 10 is used, for example, by users of a travel agency, users of a bus company, and bus drivers.

[0011] In the workflow shown in FIG. 3, first, the travel agency creates an itinerary for the target tour (operation) using the itinerary creation unit 52a (described later) of the information processing system 10 (WF1). Next, the travel agency requests a cost estimate from the bus company for the created itinerary (WF2). Upon receiving the estimate request from the travel agency, the bus company creates a new itinerary based on the itinerary created by the travel agency, taking into account bus rest stops and other factors (WF3). The bus company then creates a cost estimate based on the created itinerary and sends it to the travel agency (WF4). The travel agency receives and confirms the estimate (WF5). The travel agency then creates a transportation application form and sends it to the bus company (WF6). Upon receiving the transportation application form from the travel agency, the bus company creates a transportation acceptance form (WF7). The bus company then arranges for a bus based on the itinerary (WF8) and creates an operation order (WF9). Then, on the day of operation, the bus driver operates the bus based on the operation order.

[0012] In the past, bus drivers would input the route into the navigation system while looking at the operation instructions, which meant that the actual route (operation route) could deviate from the route in the itinerary created in advance due to incorrect input or changes made by the driver.

[0013] On the other hand, according to the information processing system 10 of this embodiment, the bus driver can easily search for a route similar to the itinerary created in advance by reading the recognition information output on the operation instructions on the driver's terminal, and can operate the bus based on this.

[0014] (Functional configuration) Next, a description will be given of the functional configuration of the information processing system 10. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the information processing system 10 according to one embodiment. In the diagram, functional units that perform each function can be said to be means that perform each function.

[0030] Next, we will explain the third terminal device 3. The third terminal device 3 is used, for example, by a bus driver. The third terminal device 3 is, for example, an electronic device such as a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, or an in-vehicle device equipped with a navigation system.

[0031] 1, the third terminal device 3 has a third terminal communication unit 31, a third terminal control unit 32, a third terminal input unit 33, a third terminal output unit 34, a third terminal storage unit 35, a position information acquisition unit 36, and an imaging unit 37. The units 31 to 37 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0032] The third terminal communication unit 31 is a communication interface between the third terminal device 3 and the network 5. The third terminal communication unit 31 transmits and receives information between the third terminal device 3 and the server 4 via the network 5.

[0033] The third terminal control unit 32 is a control means that performs various processes of the third terminal device 3. The third terminal control unit 32 may be realized by a processor in the third terminal device 3 executing a predetermined program, or may be implemented in hardware. The third terminal control unit 32 has a reading unit 32a and a travel route storage unit 32b.

[0034] The reading unit 32a reads the recognition information 51 output to the driving instruction sheet 50 by the imaging unit 37 described below, and sends the route search information contained in the recognition information 51 to the route search unit 42e of the server 4 via the network 5 by the third terminal communication unit 31.

[0035] The third terminal input unit 33 is an interface for the user to input information to the third terminal device 3, and is, for example, a touch panel or microphone in a mobile terminal, or a touch pad, keyboard or mouse in a notebook computer.

[0037] The third terminal storage unit 35 is a data storage such as an internal memory or an external memory (such as an SD memory card). The third terminal storage unit 35 stores various data handled by the third terminal control unit 32. The third terminal storage unit 35 does not necessarily have to be provided within the third terminal device 3; part or all of the third terminal storage unit 35 may be provided within another device (for example, on the cloud) that is communicatively connected to the third terminal device 3 via the network 5.

[0038] The location information acquisition unit 36 detects the location of the vehicle based on, for example, a satellite signal received by a GPS antenna mounted on the vehicle, and stores location information corresponding to the vehicle's location in the third terminal memory unit 35 as the vehicle's driving route.

[0039] The imaging unit 37 captures an image of a subject using an imaging element. In particular, in this embodiment, the imaging unit 37 captures an image of recognition information 51 outputted to a driving instruction manual 50 (to be described later).

[0040] Next, we will explain the server 4. As shown in Fig. 1, the server 4 has a server communication unit 41, a server control unit 42, and a server storage unit 43. The units 41 to 43 are connected to each other so that they can communicate with each other.

[0041] Of these, the server communication unit 41 is a communication interface between the server 4 and the network 5. The server communication unit 41 transmits and receives information to and from each terminal device (first to third terminal devices 1 to 3) via the network 5.

[0042] The server storage unit 43 is, for example, a fixed data storage such as a hard disk. The server storage unit 43 stores various data handled by the server control unit 42. For example, the server storage unit 43 includes a route network information database including transportation network information and a map information database including map information.

[0043] Transportation network information is information that defines transportation networks such as railroads and buses, and road networks. Transportation network information includes transportation route information, timetable information, and fare information. Road network information is expressed by combining data on nodes, which are nodes on the road network representation, such as intersections, and data on links, which are road sections between the nodes.

[0044] The map information includes map data such as national and regional road maps, and map object information associated with the map data. The map object information includes shape information about the shapes of facilities displayed on the map, note information about notes displayed on the map, symbol information about symbols displayed on the map, etc. The map information may also include route map information about public transportation route maps.

[0045] The above traffic network information and map information may be updated at predetermined times.

[0046] In addition, the server memory unit 43 does not necessarily have to be located within the server 4, and part or all of the server memory unit 43 may be located within another device (e.g., on the cloud) that is communicatively connected to the server 4 via the network 5.

[0047] The server control unit 42 has an itinerary creation unit 42a, an operation instruction creation unit 42b, a recognition information output unit 42c, a vehicle dispatch unit 42d, a route search unit 42e, a route comparison unit 42f, and a status information acquisition unit 42g. Each of these units 42a to 42g may be realized by a processor in the server 4 executing a predetermined program, or may be implemented in hardware.

[0048] The itinerary creation unit 42a creates an itinerary based on information input by a user of the information processing system 10. Specifically, the itinerary creation unit 42a searches for a route from the departure point to the destination using information such as the departure point, intermediate points, destination, departure date and time, arrival date and time, and vehicle type input by a user of the first terminal device 1 (travel agency terminal) or the second terminal device 2 (bus company terminal) via an input unit (first terminal input unit 13 or second terminal input unit 23), and creates an itinerary based on the route search results. The itinerary created by the itinerary creation unit 42a is stored in the server storage unit 43 and transmitted to the first terminal device 1 and / or the second terminal device 2 by the server communication unit 41 via the network 5. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an itinerary screen 44 in which the itinerary created by the itinerary creation unit 42a is displayed on the display unit (first terminal output unit 14 / second terminal output unit 24) of the first terminal device 1 and / or the second terminal device 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the itinerary screen 44 displays the itinerary for each date during which the vehicle is in operation.

[0049] The operation instruction creation unit 42b creates an operation instruction based on the itinerary created by the itinerary creation unit 42a.

[0050] 5 is a diagram showing an example of a driving instruction 50 created by the driving instruction creation unit 42b based on the itinerary (FIG. 4) created by the itinerary creation unit 42a. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, information such as the driving route created based on the itinerary is described in the column of "driving route, stopping points, and departure and arrival dates and times" of the driving instruction.

[0051] The recognition information output unit 42c outputs (adds) the conditions of the route search (starting point, waypoint, destination, departure date and time, arrival date and time, vehicle type, etc.) performed by the itinerary creation unit 42a when creating the itinerary as recognition information to the operation instruction created by the operation instruction creation unit 42bg. The recognition information may be output as recognition information 51 of a two-dimensional code, for example, as shown in Fig. 5, or may be output as a character string such as a one-dimensional code or a case number.

[0052] The driving instructions with the added recognition information are printed on a paper medium using a printing device and carried by the driver on the day of vehicle operation.

[0053] The vehicle arrangement unit 42d arranges vehicles such as buses and trucks based on a transportation acceptance document prepared in advance. Specifically, the vehicle arrangement unit 42d arranges (reserves) vehicles according to the availability of vehicles by referring to the vehicle management database, using information included in the transportation acceptance document such as the date and time of dispatch (period), the dispatch location, the number of vehicles, and the vehicle type.

[0054] The route search unit 42e searches for a route based on information such as the departure point, intermediate points (including information on roads to be used, such as ICs (interchanges)), destination, departure date and time, arrival date and time, and vehicle type. The route search by the route search unit 42e is executed when the itinerary creation unit 42a creates an itinerary, or when the reading unit 32a receives information read from a third terminal device (driver's terminal). When the route search unit 42e executes a route search, the server communication unit 41 transmits the route search result via the network 5 to the terminal that requested the route search.

[0055] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the display of the route search result by the route search unit 42e. As shown in Fig. 6, the route search result including the intermediate points is displayed on a map on the display unit 60 of the terminal that has received the route search result by the route search unit 42e.

[0056] In addition, the route search unit 42e may search for a route based on at least one of the route search results when the itinerary is created, traffic information on the day the vehicle is operating, and route search conditions changed by the user (driver) (departure / arrival date and time, vehicle type, etc.).

[0057] The route search unit 42e can be executed via a program (native application) on the in-vehicle terminal (third terminal device 3) or a program (Web application) on the server.

[0058] Furthermore, when a plurality of vehicles are used, the route search unit 42e may search for a travel route for each vehicle.

[0059] The route search unit 42e may also search for a route connecting the destination of a first operation and the departure point of a second operation following the first operation, or may further search for a route connecting a third operation. In this case, when the recognition information attached to the operation instruction for the second operation is read and a route search is performed, the destination set in the operation instruction for the first operation may be set as the departure point of the route search. Furthermore, recognition information for the first operation and the second operation may be added to a single operation instruction. In other words, when a single piece of recognition information attached to a single operation instruction is read, route searches for not only the first operation but also the second operation may be performed simultaneously. The route search unit 42e also searches again for a travel route based on the status information acquired by the status information acquisition unit 42g (described later). For example, if the status information includes information about a traffic jam on the route as traffic information, the route search unit 42e may search again for a route that bypasses the traffic jam.

[0060] The route comparison unit 42f compares the route searched by the route search unit 42e with the actual driving route and outputs the comparison result. Specifically, the route comparison unit 42f acquires actual driving route information stored in the third terminal storage unit 35 from the third terminal device 3, compares the actual driving route with the driving route based on the itinerary, i.e., the route search result based on the route search conditions included in the recognition information output in the driving instruction, and outputs the comparison result to the display unit of the terminal device. This makes it possible to evaluate to what extent the actual driving route matches the route based on the itinerary planned in advance.

[0061] The status information acquisition unit 42g acquires status information including at least one of vehicle location information, operation progress status, traffic information, and weather information. Each piece of information acquired by the status information acquisition unit 42g is transmitted to each terminal via the network 5 by the server communication unit 41. By using the status information acquired by the status information acquisition unit 42g, it becomes possible to grasp the vehicle operation progress status and to modify the operation route based on traffic information and weather information.

[0062] (Example of operation) Next, an example of the operation of the information processing system 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 10.

[0063] First, the itinerary creation unit 42a of the server control unit 42 searches for a route from the departure point to the destination using information such as the departure point, intermediate points, destination, departure date and time, arrival date and time, and vehicle type entered by the user of the information processing system 10 (the user of the first terminal device 1 or the second terminal device 2), and creates an itinerary based on the route search results (step S1).

[0064] Next, the operation instruction creation unit 42b of the server control unit 42 creates an operation instruction based on the itinerary created by the itinerary creation unit 42a (step S2).

[0065] Then, the recognition information output unit 42c of the server control unit 42 outputs the route search conditions (starting point, intermediate points, destination, departure date and time, arrival date and time, vehicle type, etc.) used by the itinerary creation unit 42a when creating the itinerary as recognition information to the operation instruction created by the operation instruction creation unit 42bg (step S3).

[0066] Next, the vehicle arrangement unit 42d of the server control unit 42 arranges for a vehicle such as a bus or truck based on the transportation acceptance document created in advance (step S4).

[0067] On the day of vehicle operation, the vehicle driver captures the recognition information of the driving instructions printed on paper using the imaging unit 37 of the third terminal device 3, and the reading unit 32a of the third terminal device 3 reads the information (route search conditions) contained in the recognition information (step S5).

[0068] The recognition information (route search conditions) read by the reading unit 32a in step S5 is transmitted to the server 4 via the network 5 by the third terminal communication unit 31, and the route search unit 42e of the server control unit 42 performs a route search based on the route search conditions included in the recognition information (step S6).

[0069] Thereafter, when the status information acquisition unit 42g acquires the status information, the route search unit 42e of the server control unit 42 re-searches for a route, if necessary, based on each piece of information contained in the status information (at least one of vehicle location information, operation progress status, traffic information, and weather information) (step S7).

[0070] Then, at a predetermined time point, such as when the vehicle has finished traveling, the route comparison unit 42f of the server control unit 42 compares the route searched by the route search unit 42e with the actual travel route and outputs the comparison result (step S8).

[0071] According to the above-described embodiment, the information processing system 10 includes an operation instruction creation unit 42b that creates a vehicle operation instruction 50 based on an itinerary, a recognition information output unit 42c that outputs recognition information 51 to the operation instruction 50, a reading unit 32a that reads the recognition information 51 output to the operation instruction, and a route search unit 42e that executes a search for an operation route based on the recognition information 51 read by the reading unit 32a, so that an operation route can be searched for based on an itinerary from an operation instruction for a vehicle such as a bus or truck.

[0072] In the above-described embodiment, the information processing system 10 is used by a travel agency, a bus company, and a bus driver, but users of the system are not limited to this. For example, the information processing system 10 can also be used by a transportation arrangement company, a transportation company, and a truck driver.

[0073] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the driving instruction sheet with the added recognition information is printed on a paper medium. However, the driving instruction sheet may be displayed on a third terminal device (driver's terminal) or the like. In this case, the driving instruction sheet data (image file, PDF file, etc.) may be downloaded to the third terminal device (driver's terminal) or the like, or the driving instruction sheet may be viewed on a web application or the like. In addition, a route search may be performed by the user (driver) selecting the recognition information added (displayed) to the driving instruction sheet, or a "Start navigation" button may be displayed together with the driving instruction sheet, and the user (driver) may select the "Start navigation" button to perform a route search.

[0074] Furthermore, at least a portion of the information processing system 10 described in the above-described embodiment may be configured with hardware or software. In the case of a hardware configuration, a program that realizes at least a portion of the functions of the information processing system 10 may be stored on a storage medium such as a flexible disk or a CD-ROM, and may be read and executed by a computer. The storage medium is not limited to removable storage media such as magnetic disks and optical disks, but may also be fixed storage media such as a hard disk drive or memory.

[0075] In addition, a program that realizes at least a part of the functions of the information processing system 10 may be distributed via a communication line (including wireless communication) such as the Internet. Furthermore, the program may be encrypted, modulated, or compressed and distributed via a wired line or wireless line such as the Internet, or stored on a storage medium.

[0076] Furthermore, the information processing system 10 may be operated by one or more information processing devices. When multiple information processing devices are used, one of the information processing devices may be a computer, and the computer may execute a predetermined program to realize the functions of at least one means of the information processing system 10.

[0077] In the method invention, all processes (steps) may be realized by automatic control using a computer. Alternatively, each process may be performed by a computer, with progress control between processes being performed manually. Furthermore, at least some of the processes may be performed manually.

[0078] Based on the above description, a person skilled in the art may conceive additional effects and various modifications of the present invention, but the aspects of the present invention are not limited to the individual embodiments described above. Various additions, modifications, and partial deletions are possible within the scope of the conceptual idea and spirit of the present invention, which is derived from the content defined in the claims and their equivalents.
