[0041] The operation of the information processing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0042] FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram for explaining the operation procedure of the information processing system 1 in this embodiment. FIG. 5 shows the procedure for the cooperation operation of the server device 10, the medical examination vehicle 12, and the terminal device 13. Here, an example of cooperation operation between the server device 10 and the terminal device 13 in the case of one medical examination vehicle 12 is shown, but the operation example shown here is also applied to each medical examination vehicle 12 in the case of multiple medical examination vehicles 12. Steps related to various information processing of the server device 10, the medical examination vehicle 12, and the terminal device 13 in FIG. 5 are executed by the respective control units 23, 33, and 43. In addition, steps related to the transmission and reception of various information of the server device 10, the medical examination vehicle 12, and the terminal device 13 are executed by the respective control units 23, 33, and 43 transmitting and receiving information to each other via the communication units 21, 31, and 41, respectively. In the server device 10, the medical examination vehicle 12, and the terminal device 13, the control units 23, 33, and 43 store the information to be transmitted and received in the storage units 22, 32, and 42 as appropriate. Furthermore, the control units 23, 33 and 43 accept various information inputs through the input units 35 and 45, respectively, and output various information through the output units 36 and 46, respectively.

[0043] In step S502, the server device 10 transmits information for requesting location information to each screening vehicle 12. The location information is information indicating the current location of each screening vehicle 12.

[0044] In step S504, each screening vehicle 12 transmits its own position information to the server device 10. The position information is derived by the control unit 33 using the information acquired by the positioning unit .

[0045] In step S506, the terminal device 13 sends the examinee information to the server device 10. The examinee, for example, uses the terminal device 13 to access a website operated by a medical examination provider using the server device 10, and sends various information such as identification information and travel plans to the server device 10. The examinee's identification information is sent to the server device 10 once, for example, at the time of user registration, and is held in the server device 10 as part of the examinee information 27. Travel plans and the like are sent from the terminal device 13 to the server device 10 at any timing by the examinee, and are updated by the server device 10 as necessary. The terminal device 13 may send location information of its current location to the server device 10, and the server device 10 may set the current location of the terminal device 13 as the starting point of the initial travel route.

[0046] In step S508, the server device 10 creates a medical examination plan. The medical examination plan includes information such as a travel route from a departure point to a destination in the travel schedule of the examinee (hereinafter referred to as an initial travel route), medical examination items to be provided to the examinee while traveling along the travel route, the medical examination vehicle 12 that provides the medical examination items, a travel route assigned to each medical examination vehicle 12 along the initial travel route (hereinafter referred to as an assigned travel route), a travel route from the current location of each medical examination vehicle 12 to the start point of the assigned travel route, a travel speed and a scheduled arrival time, a travel speed from the start point to the end point of the assigned travel route and a scheduled arrival time at the end point. When multiple medical examination vehicles 12 are assigned to the initial travel route, the end point of the assigned travel route of one medical examination vehicle 12, i.e., the start point of the assigned travel route of another medical examination vehicle 12, corresponds to a transfer point for the examinee to transfer between medical examination vehicles 12.

[0047] FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing a detailed example of the procedure of step S508.

[0048] In step S600, the control unit 23 of the server device 10 identifies medical examination items that the examinee has not yet undergone (hereinafter, unattended items). The control unit 23 refers to the medical examination history linked to the identification information of the examinee, and extracts, for example, medical examination items that have not been taken in the current year as unattended items.

[0049] In step S602, the control unit 23 extracts the medical examination vehicles 12 that can provide medical examinations for the unexamined items. The control unit 23 refers to the medical examination vehicle information 28 and extracts the medical examination vehicles 12 that can provide medical examinations for the unexamined items extracted in step S600. If a corresponding medical examination vehicle 12 is extracted (Yes in step S603), the control unit 23 proceeds to step S604, and if not extracted (No in step S603), the control unit 23 ends this process.

[0050] In step S604, the control unit 23 derives an initial movement route and its movement time. The control unit 23 derives an initial movement route from a departure point to a destination specified by a movement schedule as an initial setting. In addition, when the initial movement route is updated after step S608 described later, a movement route from a new departure point on the way from the departure point to the destination is derived as an updated initial movement route. Map information and an arbitrary search algorithm are used to derive the initial movement route. In addition, the control unit 23 calculates the movement time of the initial movement route when the medical examination vehicle 12 moves at a legal speed, for example. If there is a remaining distance of the initial movement route on which the medical examination vehicle 12 should move (Yes in step S605), the control unit 23 proceeds to step S606, and if there is no remaining distance (No in step S605), the control unit 23 proceeds to step S612.

[0051] In step S606, the control unit 23 selects, from the extracted screening vehicles 12, a screening vehicle 12 that minimizes the difference between the travel time of the initial travel route and the screening time of each screening vehicle 12. The control unit 23 may use the position information of each screening vehicle 12 to select a screening vehicle 12 on the condition that the screening vehicle 12 is located within an arbitrary reference distance range from the departure point. The reference distance range can be determined, for example, within a range of several hundred meters to several kilometers depending on the length of time from the current time to the scheduled departure time.

[0052] In step S608, the control unit 23 determines the selected medical examination vehicle 12, the medical examination items provided by the medical examination vehicle 12, and the assigned movement route of the medical examination vehicle 12. The assigned movement route is derived and determined as a portion of the initial movement route along which the medical examination vehicle 12 can move during the medical examination time.

[0053] In step S610, the control unit 23 excludes the confirmed medical examination items from the unexamined items extracted in step S600, and updates the initial movement route. By excluding the assigned movement route determined in step S608 from the initial movement route, the remaining journey is confirmed as the updated initial movement route. Then, the control unit 23 returns to step S602.

[0054] Steps S602 to S608 are repeatedly executed until there are no more remaining sections on the initial travel route, and thus an additional screening vehicle 12 capable of providing screening for unexamined screening items within the travel time on the initial travel route is selected and confirmed. That is, at this time, the additional screening vehicle 12 is selected under the condition that the screening time corresponding to the additional screening vehicle 12 is equal to or less than the difference between the screening time and travel time corresponding to the already confirmed screening vehicle 12. In this way, one or more screening vehicles 12 and their screening items that satisfy the condition that the total screening time is equal to or less than the travel time required for the initial travel route are confirmed.

[0055] In step S612, the control unit 23 determines the medical examination plan. The medical examination plan includes one or more medical examination vehicles 12 and the medical examination items provided by each of them, the assigned moving route of each medical examination vehicle, the scheduled departure time of the start point of each assigned moving route, the scheduled arrival time of the end point of each assigned moving route, etc. When multiple medical examination vehicles 12 are determined, the transfer point from one medical examination vehicle 12 to another medical examination vehicle 12 is included in the medical examination plan.

[0056] Returning to FIG. 5, in step S510, the server device 10 sends the screening plan information to the terminal device 13. The terminal device 13 displays the screening plan and presents it to the examinee, so that the examinee can confirm the screening plan. The examinee can move to the departure point (the starting point of the assigned movement route of the first screening vehicle 12) to board the screening vehicle 12. Alternatively, the examinee may wait for the screening vehicle 12 at his / her current location. Note that when the screening plan is created in step S508, if there is no screening vehicle 12 that can provide a screening, information indicating that the screening plan cannot be executed is sent from the server device 10 to the terminal device 13, and steps S512 and after are omitted.

[0057] In step S512, the server device 10 sends an instruction to execute the examination plan to each of the target examination vehicles 12. That is, information for moving to the starting point of the assigned travel route and having the examinee board the vehicle is sent to the examination vehicle 12.

[0058] In step S514, the screening vehicle 12 executes the screening plan. The screening vehicle 12 starts moving according to the screening plan, and when the examinee boards at the starting point of the assigned travel route, the screening is provided in the moving screening vehicle 12. The screening is provided, for example, by a medical professional on duty in the screening vehicle 12 using the screening equipment of the screening vehicle 12. Alternatively, a part or whole of the screening may be performed by an automatic machine. The screening is completed by the time the screening vehicle 12 arrives at the end point of the assigned travel route. If the next screening vehicle 12 is assigned, the examinee can transfer to the next screening vehicle 12 at the transfer point and receive the screening in that screening vehicle 12.

[0059] In step S516, the medical examination vehicle 12 sends a medical examination end notification to the server device 10.

[0060] In step S518, the server device 10 updates the examination history of the examinee information 27 in response to the examination completion notification. The server device 10 updates the examination date and time of the examination item for which the examination has been completed. If multiple examination vehicles 12 are assigned, the server device 10 updates the examination history based on the examination completion notification for each examination vehicle 12.

[0061] By each of the multiple screening vehicles 12 executing steps S514 and S516, the examinee can change screening vehicles 12 to receive the examination.

[0062] According to the above-mentioned procedure, even if the number of examination items that each medical examination vehicle 12 can provide is limited, examinees can take a series of examination items while making effective use of travel time by transferring between multiple medical examination vehicles 12 and taking examinations at each medical examination vehicle 12. In other words, convenience for examinees can be improved.

[0063] In the above-described embodiment, the processing and control programs that stipulate the operation of the screening vehicle 12 and the terminal device 13 may be stored in the memory unit 22 of the server device 10 or in the memory unit of another server device, and may be downloaded to each device via the network 11, or may be stored in a non-transitory recording and storage medium readable by each device and read from the medium by each device.
