Location information on the Internet is a technical method for indicating the location of information resources (such as documents and images) on the Internet, and may be an abbreviation for "Uniform Resource Locator". A URL is usually composed of the format "protocol: / / domain name / directory path name / file name", and may be called the address (address) of a homepage page. A word similar to URL is "address", and one of the elements that make up a URL is "domain". In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a target is confirmed, any information indicating location information on the Internet, such as an address, domain, or URL, or information equivalent to, similar to, or processed from these, is considered to be "location information on the Internet". The user transmits destination information via a user terminal or a taxi terminal. In at least one embodiment, the user inputs destination information into the terminal by clicking on a screen or touching a keyboard. In other embodiments, the user inputs voice into the user terminal, and the voice analysis software or AI of the terminal or device analyzes the voice to generate destination information. In other embodiments, the user inputs information other than the address of the destination into the device. The information other than the address of the destination includes one or more of the name, nickname, abbreviation, characteristics, and information associated therewith of the destination. Examples include "Tokyo Tower (registered trademark)", "tourist attraction", "recommended tourist spot", "live house", "ramen shop", etc.A user inputs information other than the destination address into a user terminal, and the AI ​​identifies one or more destination addresses from the information (including characters, sounds, and other information; the same applies throughout this disclosure). The AI ​​is installed in one or more of the devices, machines, and terminals described above. The device, machine, and terminal transmit the input destination information to another device by electromagnetic means.

[0037] In at least one embodiment, the destination information includes two or more pieces of geographic information. For example, waypoint information relating to the address of a waypoint can be input in addition to the destination. The waypoint information can be implemented in the same embodiment as the destination information, as already disclosed. A user can input the destination information and the waypoint information into a user terminal. The waypoint information can be implemented in the same embodiment as the destination information.

[0038] In at least one embodiment, a user may update destination information. In at least one embodiment, a user inputs existing destination information and then inputs updated destination information for an address of the updated destination. The device updates the already input destination information with the updated destination information. If there are two or more destination information, any of the destination information may be updated. The updated destination information may be implemented in the same embodiment as the destination information.

[0039] A step of receiving destination information by a navigation device provided in a taxi is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the navigation device includes a car navigation device, a device provided in the driver's seat of a car and displaying a map and information about a destination on a screen or navigating a route to a destination by voice, and devices similar to these and auxiliary devices.

The navigation device receives the destination information transmitted by the user terminal by an electromagnetic method. The receiving method includes a method of receiving via wireless. The navigation device starts navigation based on the received destination information. In at least one embodiment, the navigation device has installed thereon a navigation application or program that records information about maps, roads on the maps, and distances. The navigation device acquires current location information of a mobile object using a location information identification means including a GPS. The navigation system navigates the mobile object based on the destination information and current location information so that the mobile object can arrive at the destination.

[0040] Example 1 will be disclosed below.

[0041] A step of displaying location information on the Internet where the taxi terminal accepts destination information is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the taxi has a taxi terminal as a device or computer having a display. In at least one embodiment, the taxi terminal is connected to a server or an application via the Internet. In another embodiment, the taxi terminal is installed in a storage device connected to the taxi terminal with an application. The taxi terminal can display any characters or images on the display. The taxi terminal can display predetermined characters or images upon instruction from the application. Location information on the Internet where destination information is accepted is disclosed. The device creates one or more of a website that accepts input of information on the Internet and a program that operates on the Internet, and creates location information on the Internet (including a URL, the same applies below). The website or program includes a function for storing or arbitrarily processing taxi-specific information (including, for example, a number uniquely assigned to a taxi or a vehicle number) that identifies a taxi and destination information input by a user on the Internet in association with each other. Furthermore, the program is capable of creating location information on the Internet for storing or processing in association with the taxi-specific information and destination information input by a user for each identified taxi. As described below, the device or program can create, for each taxi user, location information on the Internet to be stored or processed in association with taxi-specific information and destination information input by the user. In at least one embodiment, each piece of location information on the Internet created for each user functions independently. The location information expires when it receives specified information or a specified period of time has elapsed. The location information includes an embodiment in which it is displayed as a character string, and an embodiment in which it is displayed as a code (including an s-dimensional code, a three-dimensional code, and a QR code (registered trademark)) that is obtained by converting the character string using a specified algorithm (the same applies below).

[0042] In at least one embodiment, the taxi terminal is attached at a position where the user gets in. As an example, the embodiment includes an embodiment in which the taxi terminal is attached to the back of the driver's seat or the back of the passenger seat so that it can be operated from the back seat. The taxi terminal displays the location information on the display. The device or program displays different location information for each taxi on the taxi terminal. In this case, the location information is different for each taxi. As an example, a URL valid in a certain taxi is different from a URL valid in another taxi. This has an industrial advantage in that it is possible to process destination information unique to each taxi, and to prevent confusion of destination information between other unrelated taxis. In another embodiment, the taxi terminal displays the same location information for each taxi, and the device or program accepts input of taxi-specific information. In this case, the device or program acquires the taxi-specific information by inputting it by a GPS of a device installed in the taxi, inputting it from a user terminal, or the like. As an example, the valid URL for two or more taxis is the same, but when a user inputs destination information to the URL, the taxi-specific information is linked to the destination information and input by any of the above methods. This allows the processing of unique destination information for each taxi, and prevents confusion between destination information for other unrelated taxis. In any embodiment, as described below, the device or program receives destination information from the user, and is therefore capable of receiving destination information input in association with each taxi, and recording and processing this information.

[0043] A step is disclosed in which the user terminal inputs destination information on the Internet based on the location information. In at least one embodiment, the user inputs the location information into the user terminal. The input method includes a method in which the user inputs the location information by flick input or keyboard input, a method of wireless communication (including a method of wireless communication via Bluetooth (registered trademark)), a method in which the user terminal recognizes a code displayed by the taxi terminal (including a method of recognizing a QR code with the camera of the user terminal), and the like. The user terminal can use a program on the Internet based on the location information, or send and receive information on a website indicated by the location information. The user inputs destination information on the Internet indicated by the location information. As already explained, location information can be created for each taxi and for each user. This means that destination information is input on the Internet via different location information for each user. Therefore, it is possible to prevent users from mistaking destination information for each other.

[0044] The step of the device transmitting the destination information to the navigation device of the corresponding taxi is disclosed. The device transmits the input destination information to the navigation device of the corresponding taxi. In at least one embodiment, as already described, the destination information is managed in association with the taxi specific information. The device transmits the destination information associated with the taxi specific information to the navigation device installed in the taxi identified by the taxi specific information. The transmission method can employ at least a wireless transmission method. In another embodiment, as described below, the device creates location information on the Internet for each user. The device transmits the input destination information for each user to the navigation device of the corresponding taxi. The taxi driver utilizes navigation of the navigation device to drive to the destination or to two or more required destinations.

[0045] In at least one embodiment, if the destination information is changed en route, the device transmits the changed destination information to the navigation device, which then changes the destination information and performs navigation.

[0046] The method is disclosed in which the step of displaying the location information changes the location information for each user of the taxi. In at least one embodiment, the device creates different internet location information for each user. The device displays different internet location information for each user on the taxi terminal. For example, internet location information presented when a user gets into a taxi is different from internet location information presented to another user who gets into the same taxi at a different time. After the taxi terminal or the driver terminal operable by the taxi driver arrives at the destination designated by the user and the user gets off, the taxi terminal or the driver terminal transmits driving completion information indicating that the driving to the destination is completed to the device together with the taxi specific information. The device can receive the driving completion information from the taxi terminal, newly create internet location information, and display the information on the taxi terminal specified by the taxi specific information. This method makes it possible to create different location information for each user. Furthermore, this method can prevent the destination information of different users from being confused in the same taxi.

[0047] In at least one embodiment, when the device receives the driving completion information, it deletes or disables the corresponding location information on the Internet. This makes it possible to prevent a user who has completed the driving from inputting new destination information for some reason, which would result in erroneous information being sent to the corresponding taxi and being confused with the destination information of another user. In at least one embodiment, the device assigns a unique number to the destination information. The taxi terminal receives the unique number and the destination information, and the taxi starts driving. After the driving is completed, the taxi terminal or the driver's terminal transmits driving completion information to the device. The driving completion information is transmitted and received together with one or more of the case number and the taxi unique information. The device deletes or disables the location information on the Internet to which the case number corresponding to the driving completion information was transmitted. Disabling the function includes a method in which new information cannot be input.

[0048] The second embodiment will be disclosed below.

[0049] In the first embodiment, the taxi terminal was used to display location information on the Internet. In this embodiment, a taxi terminal is not used, and unique location information on the Internet is displayed inside the mobile device. Location information can be displayed as unique information for each taxi. Methods of display include printing and displaying a URL, two-dimensional code, etc. The user inputs the displayed location information on the Internet into the user terminal, and then inputs destination information.

[0050] The third embodiment will be disclosed below.

[0051] The present invention discloses a step in which a user terminal displays a code that displays destination information on a screen. The user terminal displays the destination information on the screen of the user terminal. The user terminal converts the destination information, including the address of the identified destination, into a code and displays it. In at least one embodiment, a map code (including a QR code) generated from Google map can be used. In another embodiment, the device creates an application that automates these display methods. The user downloads the application to the user terminal. The user inputs the destination information into the application. In at least one embodiment, the user inputs voice into the application, and the terminal or device's voice analysis software or AI analyzes the voice to generate the destination information. In another embodiment, the user inputs information other than the destination address into the application. The AI ​​identifies one or more destination addresses from the information. The AI ​​is installed in one or more of the devices, machines, terminals, and applications described above. The application converts the destination information into a code and displays it on the screen of the user terminal.

[0052] The method discloses a step in which the taxi terminal obtains destination information from the code. The taxi terminal reads the code on the screen of the user terminal using a sensor, a camera, or a similar function. The taxi terminal analyzes the code and obtains the destination information.

[0053] The present invention discloses a step in which a taxi terminal transmits destination information to a navigation device. The taxi terminal transmits the destination information to the navigation device by a communication method including wireless and wired. The navigation device starts navigation based on the destination information. As already described, the destination information can be changed by a user and two or more destinations can be set. When such changes or settings are made, the taxi terminal transmits the changed or set destination information to the navigation device.

[0054] The fourth embodiment will be disclosed below.

[0055] A step is disclosed in which the taxi terminal displays location information on the Internet where an application for receiving destination information can be downloaded. The taxi terminal displays location information (including a URL) on the Internet where an application for receiving destination information can be downloaded on a screen. The display method includes displaying a two-dimensional code.

[0056] The steps are disclosed in which the user terminal reads the location information, downloads an application, and the user inputs destination information into the application. The user terminal reads the location information as necessary, and downloads the application to the user terminal. The reading method includes a method of reading a code on the screen of the taxi terminal using a sensor, a camera, or a similar function. The method of inputting destination information into the application can use any one or more of the methods already described. In at least one embodiment, the user is notified of taxi-specific information of the taxi in which the user has boarded. The notifying method includes a method in which a taxi-specific information code, which is a code corresponding to the taxi-specific information or number, is displayed inside the taxi. The user terminal can input the taxi-specific information into the application without manual input by reading the taxi-specific information code via the application. The user terminal inputs destination time information and taxi-specific information into the application.

[0057] A step is disclosed in which the device or application transmits the destination information to a navigation device. Based on the destination information and taxi-specific information input from the user terminal, the device or application transmits the destination information to the navigation device of the taxi corresponding to the taxi-specific number. As already described, the destination information can be changed by the user and two or more destinations can be set. When such changes or settings are made, the taxi terminal transmits the changed or set destination information to the navigation device.

[0058] The fifth embodiment will be disclosed below.

[0059] The present invention discloses a step in which a user directly inputs destination information into a taxi terminal provided in a taxi. The taxi terminal is provided in a taxi. The taxi terminal has an information input means such as a touch panel. The taxi terminal accepts destination information input from a user.
