Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the above-described conventional entrance / exit management system does not consider the method of inputting contact information such as students' name information and email addresses. Since the school staff has to manually input the information described in the documents by the guardians into the computer terminal using a keyboard, there are problems such as a huge amount of input work when there are many students and input errors.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention solves the problems of the prior art as described above. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a notification system that can eliminate the trouble of manually inputting contact information of a first user terminal, which is a guardian, and name information of a second user, who is a student, and can notify the guardian of the confirmation of the student without input errors, and a program thereof.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] The invention according to claim 1 is a notification system comprising a first user terminal, an administrator terminal, a server, a second user electronic tag, and a tag reader terminal, which notifies the first user terminal when the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag. In the first user terminal, when the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user are input, the first user terminal generates a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code based on the input contact information and name information, and the generated one-dimensional or two-dimensional code is printed and passed to the second user, or the second user terminal acquires the generated one-dimensional or two-dimensional code. The administrator terminal reads the one-dimensional or two-dimensional code presented by the second user, and the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag presented by the second user, and associates the identification information of the second user electronic tag with the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user and registers them in the database of the server. After registration, when the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag presented by the second user, a message indicating that the tag reader terminal has scanned the second user electronic tag is notified by the server capable of communicating with the tag reader terminal to the first user terminal, thereby solving the above-described problem.

[0007] The invention according to claim 2 further solves the above-described problem by, in addition to the configuration of the notification system described in claim 1, having a plurality of tag reader terminals, registering the installation location information of the tag reader terminals in the database, and after registration, when the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag presented by the second user, notifying the first user terminal by the server capable of communicating with the tag reader terminal of a message indicating that the tag reader terminal has scanned the second user electronic tag at the installation location information.

[0008] The invention according to claim 3, in addition to the configuration of the notification system described in claim 1 or claim 2, has a plurality of tag reader terminals. After registration, when a tag reader terminal scans a second user electronic tag presented by a second user, the tag reader terminal acquires current location information and transmits the current location information and the identification information of the second user electronic tag to the server.

Advantages of the Invention

[0014] The notification system of the present invention includes a first user terminal, an administrator terminal, a server, a second user electronic tag, and a tag reader terminal. When the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag, not only can the server notify the first user terminal, but also the following specific effects can be achieved.

[0015] According to the notification system of the invention according to claim 1, when the administrator terminal reads the code and the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag, the identification information of the second user electronic tag, the contact information of the first user terminal, and the name information of the second user are associated and registered in the database. Therefore, the administrator can eliminate the trouble of manually inputting the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user, eliminate input errors, and notify the first user, who is the guardian, of the confirmation of the second user, who is the student. In addition, the administrator can easily obtain a roster of the second user. Furthermore, for example, when the first user, who is the guardian of the second user, arrives at the facility used by the second user where the administrator terminal is located, the registration is completed simply by the second user presenting the code and the second user electronic tag without the first user having to travel to the facility. Therefore, the annoyance of the first user can be eliminated and infection prevention measures can be taken for the first user.

[0016] According to the notification system of the invention according to claim 2, in addition to the effects achieved by the invention according to claim 1, the installation location information indicating where the second user electronic tag was scanned by the tag reader terminal is notified to the first user terminal. Therefore, for example, when the second user electronic tag is scanned by a tag reader terminal provided on a moving object such as a school bus, the first user can easily know whether the second user scanned the second user electronic tag against the tag reader terminal provided on the moving object such as a school bus.

[0017] According to the notification system of the invention according to claim 3, in addition to the effects achieved by the invention according to claim 1 or claim 2, the current location information indicating where the second user electronic tag was scanned is notified to the first user terminal. Therefore, for example, when the second user electronic tag is scanned by a tag reader terminal provided on a moving object such as a school bus, the first user can easily know whether the second user scanned the second user electronic tag when boarding the moving object such as a school bus or when getting off the moving object.

[0018] According to the notification system of the invention according to claim 4, in addition to the effects achieved by the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 3, since the name information of the scheduled passengers is displayed on the administrator terminal for each parking location of the school bus, the driver and the administrator can easily check, by looking at the administrator terminal for each parking location of the school bus, whether there is a second user, i.e., a student who is late. Furthermore, since it is notified to the first user terminal that the second user has boarded the bus without being late and the second user electronic tag has been scanned by the tag reader terminal, the first user can know that the second user has boarded the bus without being late.

[0019] According to the notification system of the invention according to claim 5, in addition to the effects achieved by the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 4, since the name information of the scheduled alighting passengers is displayed on the administrator terminal for each parking location of the school bus, the driver and the administrator can easily check, by looking at the administrator terminal for each parking location of the school bus, whether there is a second user, i.e., a student who has not yet alighted. For example, if there is a second user, i.e., a student who is sleeping in the school bus and is likely to oversleep, the driver and the administrator can wake up the second user and inform the second user of the place where they will alight, thus avoiding the risk of passing the alighting location while still on the school bus. Furthermore, since it is notified to the first user terminal that the second user electronic tag has been scanned by the tag reader terminal when the second user alights, the first user can know that the second user has alighted properly without passing the alighting location while still on the bus.

[0020] According to the notification system of the invention according to claim 6, in addition to the effects achieved by the invention according to claim 4 or claim 5, since it is displayed whether the second user, who is a student, is likely to be late for the scheduled attendance and has not boarded the bus or is absent, the driver and the administrator, who are the chaperones, can easily make a judgment, by looking at the administrator terminal for each parking location of the school bus, whether to wait any longer or to depart without waiting.

[0021] According to the notification system of the invention according to claim 7, in addition to the effects achieved by the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 6, if there is an agreement to scan the second user electronic tag when boarding and alighting, it should arrive at the destination within a predetermined time and the second scan should be performed. If the second scan has not occurred yet when the predetermined time has elapsed, there is a risk that the second user may be left behind in the school bus. Immediately, an instruction to confirm is notified to the administrator terminal, so that even if the second user is left behind in the school bus by any chance, they can be rescued immediately.

[0022] According to the program of the notification system of the invention according to claim 8, similar to the effects achieved by the invention according to claim 1, when the administrator terminal reads the code and the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag, the identification information of the second user electronic tag is associated with the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user and registered in the database. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the administrator manually inputting the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user, eliminate input errors, and notify the first user who is the guardian of the confirmation of the second user who is a student. In addition, the administrator can easily obtain a roster of the second users. Furthermore, for example, since the first user who is the guardian of the second user can complete the registration simply by presenting the code and the second user electronic tag without having to go to the facility used by the second user where the administrator terminal is located, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the first user and take infection prevention measures against the first user.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] The notification system of the present invention includes a first user terminal, an administrator terminal, a server, a second user electronic tag, and a tag reader terminal. When contact information of the first user terminal and name information of the second user are input in the first user terminal, the first user terminal generates a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code based on the input contact information and name information. The generated one-dimensional or two-dimensional code is printed and handed to the second user, or the second user terminal acquires the generated one-dimensional or two-dimensional code. The administrator terminal reads the one-dimensional or two-dimensional code presented by the second user, and the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag presented by the second user, and associates the identification information of the second user electronic tag with the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user and registers them in the database of the server. After registration, when the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag presented by the second user, a server capable of communicating with the tag reader terminal notifies the first user terminal of a message indicating that the tag reader terminal has scanned the second user electronic tag. By this configuration, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the administrator manually inputting the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user, eliminate input errors, and notify the first user, who is a guardian, of the confirmation of the second user, who is a student. As long as it is possible to eliminate the annoyance of the first user and take infection prevention measures against the first user, the specific implementation mode can be anything. In addition, when the program of the notification system of the present invention is in the first user terminal and the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user are input, the first user terminal performs a code generation step of generating a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code based on the input contact information and name information, and the administrator terminal reads the one-dimensional or two-dimensional code presented by the second user, and the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag presented by the second user, and associates the identification information of the second user electronic tag with the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user and registers them in the database of the server. After registration, when the tag reader terminal scans the second user electronic tag presented by the second user, a server that can communicate with the tag reader terminal notifies the first user terminal of a message indicating that the tag reader terminal has scanned the second user electronic tag. By having these steps, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the administrator manually inputting the contact information of the first user terminal and the name information of the second user, eliminate input errors, and notify the first user, who is a guardian, of the confirmation of the second user, who is a student. As long as it is possible to eliminate the annoyance of the first user and take infection prevention measures against the first user, the specific implementation mode can be any.

[0025] For example, the first user terminal may be any device that has a display unit and an operation unit and transmits and receives information, such as a desktop personal computer terminal, a notebook personal computer terminal, a smartphone terminal, a tablet terminal, a wristwatch-type terminal, or a glasses-type terminal, as long as it can be connected to a server via a communication network including a wide area network, a local area network, a telephone line, etc., which is the so-called Internet. In addition, the second user terminal may be any device that has a display unit and an operation unit, such as a smartphone terminal, a tablet terminal, a wristwatch terminal, or a glasses terminal, can be carried around freely, and can transmit and receive information, and can be connected to a server via a communication network including a wide area network such as the so-called Internet, a local network, or a telephone line. Furthermore, the server may be a cloud server created in a cloud environment, and the number of physical servers constituting the server may be one or more. In addition, the administrator terminal may be any device that has a display unit and an operation unit, such as a desktop personal computer terminal, a notebook personal computer terminal, a smartphone terminal, a tablet terminal, a wristwatch terminal, or a glasses terminal, can transmit and receive information, and can be connected to a server via a communication network including a wide area network such as the so-called Internet, a local network, or a telephone line. Furthermore, the second user electronic tag may be any device that includes an antenna and an integrated circuit (IC chip). For example, an electronic tag with a belt that can be wrapped around the wrist, or an electronic card that has an integrated circuit (IC chip) and can be used as electronic money. It doesn't matter whether it is a contact type or a non-contact type with the tag reader terminal. Note that when an electronic tag (electronic card) function is provided in a smartphone terminal or a wristwatch terminal used by a user, since the smartphone terminal or the wristwatch terminal functions as an electronic tag (electronic card), the usage history information of the second user electronic tag includes the usage history of the electronic tag function in the smartphone terminal or the wristwatch terminal.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 1, the notification system 100 which is an embodiment of the present invention includes a first user terminal 110, a second user terminal 120 as an example, an administrator terminal 130, a server 150, a second user electronic card FC which is an example of a second user electronic tag, and a first card reader terminal 140A and a second card reader terminal 140B as card reader terminals which are examples of tag reader terminals. Here, the first user is a guardian of the second user. Also, as an example, the administrator terminal 130 and the first card reader terminal 140A are installed in a school such as a school or a cram school. The second card reader terminal 140B is installed in the school bus BS for pick-up and drop-off at a school such as a school or a cram school.

[0028] After registering the identification information of the second user electronic card FC, the contact information of the first user terminal 110, and the name information of the second user in the database 151 of the server 150, when the first card reader terminal 140A or the second card reader terminal 140B scans the second user electronic card FC, it is configured to notify the first user terminal 110. Note that the second user terminal 120 is not an essential component of the notification system 100. However, as an example, it will be described as a component of the notification system 100. Also, although the invention is valid even if there is only one card reader terminal, it will be described as an example using a plurality of the first card reader terminal 140A and the second card reader terminal 140B.

[0029] In this embodiment, first, on the first user terminal 110, the first user operates to pre-install the application software, which is the program of the notification system 100. Then, for example, at the home of the first user, the application software, which is the program of the notification system 100, is launched. Subsequently, on the first user terminal 110, the first user operates to input the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user. When both are input, the first user terminal 110 generates a two-dimensional code CD as an example of a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code based on the input contact information and name information. That is, the name information of the second user, who is the child of the first user, is input on the first user terminal 110 of the first user, who is the guardian.

[0030] Then, the second user terminal 120 acquires the generated two-dimensional code CD. Regarding the acquisition method, the data of the two-dimensional code CD may be transmitted from the first user terminal 110 to the second user terminal 120, or the second user terminal 120 may acquire the two-dimensional code CD displayed on the display unit 111 of the first user terminal 110 by taking a picture using a camera. Incidentally, the generated two-dimensional code CD may be printed and passed to the second user. That is, a two-dimensional code CD encoding the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user is passed from the first user to the second user who is the child of the first user.

[0031] The second user goes to school such as for school or extracurricular activities, and the second user goes to school with the two-dimensional code CD. Here, an administrator terminal 130 is installed in the school. Then, the second user presents the two-dimensional code CD and the second user electronic card FC to the administrator at school. At this time, as an example, the second user terminal 120 with the two-dimensional code CD displayed on the display unit 121 and the second user electronic card FC are presented. Incidentally, as described above, instead of the two-dimensional code CD displayed on the display unit 121 of the second user terminal 120, a two-dimensional code CD printed on paper may also be used.

[0032] Then, the administrator terminal 130 reads the two-dimensional code CD presented by the second user. At the same time, the first card reader terminal 140A scans the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user. Then, the administrator terminal 130 and the first card reader terminal 140A cooperate to associate the identification information of the second user electronic card FC with the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user and register them in the database 151 of the server 150.

[0033] After registration, when the first card reader terminal 140A of the school or the second card reader terminal 140B of the school bus BS scans the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user, a server 150 capable of communicating with the first card reader terminal 140A and the second card reader terminal 140B notifies the first user terminal 110 of a message indicating that the second user electronic card FC has been scanned by the first card reader terminal 140A or the second card reader terminal 140B.

[0034] As a result, when the administrator terminal 130 reads the code and the first card reader terminal 140A scans the second user electronic card FC, the identification information of the second user electronic card FC is associated with the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user and registered in the database 151. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of manually inputting the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user by the administrator, eliminate input errors, and notify the first user who is the guardian of the second user who is a student. Furthermore, for example, the first user who is the guardian of the second user can complete the registration simply by presenting the two-dimensional code CD and the second user electronic card FC to the school facility used by the second user without having to go to the school facility where the administrator terminal 130 is located. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the annoyance of the first user and take infection prevention measures against the first user.

[0035] Subsequently, an operation example of the notification system 100 of the present invention will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 2, in step S1, for example, at home, the first user operates the first user terminal 110 to start the application software which is the program of the notification system 100. Assume that the first user performs an input operation and enters the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user on the first user terminal 110. Then, as an information input determination step, the first user terminal 110 determines whether the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user are entered on the first user terminal 110. If it is determined that they have been entered, proceed to step S2; otherwise, repeat step S1.

[0036] In step S2, as a code generation step, the first user terminal 110 generates a two-dimensional code CD as an example of a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code based on the entered contact information and name information. Note that thereafter, as a code transmission step, the first user terminal 110 may be configured to transmit the generated two-dimensional code CD to the second user terminal 120 that has been set. The two-dimensional code CD may be passed from the first user to the second user. For example, as described above, the generated two-dimensional code CD may be printed and passed to the second user. Alternatively, the second user terminal 120 may take a picture of the two-dimensional code CD displayed on the display unit 111 of the first user terminal 110 using a camera and pass it to the second user.

[0037] In step S3, the second user goes to school with the two-dimensional code CD and the second user electronic card FC. Then, as a two-dimensional code reading / electronic card scanning presence / absence determination step, the administrator terminal 130 determines whether it has read the two-dimensional code CD presented by the second user, and whether the first card reader terminal 140A has scanned the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user. If it is determined that both have been read / scanned, proceed to step S4; otherwise, repeat step S3. In step S4, as an information registration step, the administrator terminal 130 and the first card reader terminal 140A cooperate to associate the identification information of the second user electronic card FC with the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user, and register them in the database 151 of the server 150.

[0038] In step S5, as shown in Fig. 3(A), for example, the second user boards the school bus BS and holds the second user electronic card FC in front of the second card reader terminal 140B. Then, as an electronic card scan presence / absence determination step, after registration, the second card reader terminal 140B determines whether the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user has been scanned. If it is determined that the card has been scanned, the process proceeds to step S6. On the other hand, if it is determined that the card has not been scanned yet, step S5 is repeated. In step S6, as shown in Fig. 3(B), as a notification step, the server 150 capable of communicating with the second card reader terminal 140B notifies the first user terminal 110 of a message indicating that the second card reader terminal 140B has scanned the second user electronic card FC.

[0039] As described above, when the administrator terminal 130 reads the code and the first card reader terminal 140A scans the second user electronic card FC, the identification information of the second user electronic card FC is associated with the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user and registered in the database 151. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the administrator manually inputting the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user, eliminate input errors, and notify the first user, who is the guardian, of the confirmation of the second user, who is a student. Furthermore, for example, the first user who is the guardian of the second user can complete the registration simply by the second user presenting the two-dimensional code CD and the second user electronic card FC at the school facility used by the second user without having to travel to the school facility where the administrator terminal 130 is located. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the first user and take infection prevention measures for the first user.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of card reader terminals, for example, a first card reader terminal 140A and a second card reader terminal 140B, and the installation location information AT of the first card reader terminal 140A and the second card reader terminal 140B is registered in the database 151. For example, the first card reader terminal 140A is installed at the school reception, and the second card reader terminal 140B is installed near the entrance and exit of the school bus BS.

[0041] After registration, when the first card reader terminal 140A or the second card reader terminal 140B scans the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user, the server 150 that can communicate with the first card reader terminal 140A and the second card reader terminal 140B notifies the first user terminal 110 of a message indicating that the second user electronic card FC has been scanned at the installation location information AT. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3(B), when the second card reader terminal 140B installed on the school bus BS scans the second user electronic card FC, a message such as "Who (whose electronic card)", "Where (installation location information AT)" is notified to the first user terminal 110 and displayed on the display unit 111, for example, "On December 10, 2021, at 8:10 AM, Emi Suzuki boarded the ABC school bus."

[0042] As a result, the installation location information AT indicating where the second user electronic card FC has been scanned by the card reader terminal installed there is notified to the first user terminal 110. As a result, for example, when scanned by the second card reader terminal 140B provided on a moving body such as the school bus BS, the first user can easily know whether the second user has scanned the second user electronic card FC against the second card reader terminal 140B provided on a moving body such as the school bus BS.

[0043] Also, in this embodiment, after registration, when the second card reader terminal 140B scans the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user, the second card reader terminal 140B acquires the current location information LC and transmits the current location information LC and the identification information of the second user electronic card FC to the server 150. And the server 150 capable of communicating with the second card reader terminal 140B is configured to notify the first user terminal 110 of a message indicating that the second card reader terminal 140B has scanned the second user electronic card FC at the current location information LC. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3(B), when the second card reader terminal 140B installed on the school bus BS scans the second user electronic card FC, a message such as "Ms. Emisa Suzuki got on the ABC school bus at 2-1 Dongyangcho" which is an example of information including the element of "where (current location information LC)" is notified to the first user terminal 110 and displayed on the display unit 111.

[0044] As a result, the current location information LC indicating where the second user electronic card FC has been scanned is notified to the first user terminal 110. As a result, for example, when scanned by the second card reader terminal 140B provided on a moving body such as the school bus BS, the first user can easily know whether the second user scanned the second user electronic card FC when getting on a moving body such as the school bus BS or when getting off the moving body.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the database 151 has the boarding location information when the second user goes to school. Also, one of the plurality of administrator terminals 130 is carried into the school bus BS. Then, as shown in FIG. 4(A), it is assumed that the current location information LC of the second card reader terminal 140B installed in the school bus BS becomes the boarding location of the second user. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4(B), the administrator terminal 130 is configured to display the second user name information and the status information indicating whether or not the second card reader terminal 140B scanned the second user electronic card FC during boarding based on the database 151.

[0046] Thereby, the name information of the scheduled passengers is displayed on the administrator terminal 130 for each parking location of the school bus BS. As a result, the administrator who is the driver or the attendant can easily check the presence or absence of the second user who is a tardy student by looking at the administrator terminal 130 for each parking location of the school bus BS. Furthermore, it is notified to the first user terminal 110 that the second user boarded without being late and the second user electronic card FC was scanned by the card reader terminal and the user boarded. As a result, the first user can know that the second user boarded without being late.

[0047] Furthermore, when the server 150 receives a notice of absence about the second user from the first user terminal 110 to the administrator terminal 130, the server 150 sets the absence status in the database 151 for the names of the scheduled passengers for whom there is an absence notice for each parking location. And the administrator terminal 130 is configured to display the status as "absent" based on the database 151 for the names of the scheduled passengers for whom there is an absence notice for each parking location. Thereby, it is displayed whether the student is likely to be late and not boarded although scheduled to attend, or absent. As a result, the driver or the administrator (a passenger) can easily determine whether to wait further or depart without waiting by looking at the administrator terminal 130 for each parking location of the school bus BS.

[0048] Also, in this embodiment, the database 151 has the alighting location information when the second user returns from school. Also, one of the plurality of administrator terminals 130 is brought into the school bus BS. Then, as shown in FIG. 5(A), assuming that the current location information LC of the second card reader terminal 140B installed in the school bus BS has reached the alighting location of the second user. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5(B), the administrator terminal 130 is configured to display the second user name information and the status information indicating whether or not the second card reader terminal 140B scanned the second user electronic card FC at the time of alighting based on the database 151.

[0049] In addition, when receiving the absence notice about the second user from the first user terminal 110 to the administrator terminal 130, the server 150 may be configured to display, on the administrator terminal 130, the names of those who have received the absence notice among the scheduled alighters as the "absent" status for each parking location. Thereby, it is displayed whether the student did not alight or was absent for some reason. As a result, the driver or the administrator (a passenger) can easily determine whether to wait further or depart without waiting by looking at the administrator terminal 130 for each parking location of the school bus BS.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6(A), when the second user boards the bus and the second card reader terminal 140B scans the second user electronic card FC, the server 150 determines whether or not the second card reader terminal 140B scans the second user electronic card FC when the second user alights within a preset predetermined time. For example, considering the pick-up and drop-off route of the school bus BS, if the time from boarding until getting off at the destination is 50 minutes, a predetermined time is set to be slightly longer than the required time, for example, 70 minutes.

[0051] In this case, it is determined whether there is a scan at the time of getting off within 70 minutes. And when it is determined that there is no scan, as shown in FIG. 6(B), the server 150 is configured to send an instruction to check for those left behind in the school bus BS to the administrator terminal 130. As an example of the instruction to check for those left behind in the school bus BS, a message such as "Urgent! Check inside the bus! No scan at the time of getting off. 1 person, Emisa Suzuki" is notified to the administrator terminal 130.

[0052] As a result, if there is an agreement to scan the second user electronic card FC when boarding and getting off, the second scan should be performed upon arriving at the destination within the predetermined time. If there is still no second scan when the predetermined time has elapsed, there is a possibility that the second user has been left behind in the school bus BS, and immediately, an instruction to check is notified to the administrator terminal 130. As a result, even if by any chance the second user has been left behind in the school bus BS, they can be rescued immediately.

[0053] Although an example of scanning the second user electronic card FC by the second card reader terminal 140B installed in the school bus BS has been described, the first user terminal 110 may be notified that the second user has entered (left) the school by scanning the second user electronic card FC by the first card reader terminal 140A installed at the school reception. In this case, it may be determined whether the user has entered or left according to the scanned time, or it may be determined that the first scan is for entering and the second scan is for leaving.

[0054] Also, the two-dimensional code CD presented by the second user and the second user electronic card FC are read, and the identification information of the second user electronic card FC is associated with the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user, and registered in the database 151 of the server 150. After the registration, a configuration in which, triggered by the scan of the second user electronic card FC, the first user terminal 110 is notified has been described. However, instead of the scan of the second user electronic card FC, a configuration in which the reading (scan) of the two-dimensional code CD is used as a trigger to notify the first user terminal 110 may also be adopted. In this case, instead of the first card reader terminal 140A and the second card reader terminal 140B as card reader terminals, the administrator terminal 130 reads the two-dimensional code CD using a camera.

[0055] Furthermore, the two-dimensional code CD and the identification information of the second user terminal 120 are associated in advance and registered in the database 151 of the server 150. The short-range communication between the second user terminal 120 and the administrator terminal 130 is set to ON. When the second user gets on or off the school bus BS, a configuration in which the second user terminal 120 carried by the second user approaches the administrator terminal 130 on the school bus BS and communicates with each other, and this is used as a trigger to notify the first user terminal 110 may also be adopted. Also, a beacon terminal may be installed at the school bus BS or the school reception desk. When the second user gets on or off the school bus BS or passes through the school reception desk, a configuration in which the second user terminal 120 carried by the second user approaches the beacon terminal at the school bus BS or the reception desk and communicates with each other, and this is used as a trigger to notify the first user terminal 110 may also be adopted. Furthermore, a configuration in which the card reader terminal scans the second user electronic card FC has been described. However, a configuration in which an electronic tag reader terminal scans the IC tag band of the second user may also be adopted. In addition, for the configuration of notifying the installation location information AT of the card reader terminals (140A, 140B) shown in FIG. 3(B) to the first user terminal 110, the configuration of notifying the current location information LC of the card reader terminals (140A, 140B) to the first user terminal 110, the boarding schedule information shown in FIG. 4(B), the status information of the second user, and the absent status information to be displayed on the administrator terminal 130, and the configuration of displaying the alighting schedule information shown in FIG. 5(B), the status information of the second user, and the absent status information on the administrator terminal 130, and the configuration of transmitting the remaining check instruction in the school bus BS shown in FIG. 6(B) to the administrator terminal 130, it is not necessary to assume the generation of the two-dimensional code CD in the first user terminal 110.

[0056] The notification system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention obtained in this way, includes a first user terminal 110, an administrator terminal 130, a server 150, a second user electronic card FC which is an example of a second user electronic tag, and a first card reader terminal 140A and a second card reader terminal 140B which are examples of tag reader terminals. In the first user terminal 110, when the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user are input, the first user terminal 110 generates a two-dimensional code CD as an example of a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code based on the input contact information and name information. The generated two-dimensional code CD is printed and handed over to the second user, or the second user terminal 120 acquires the generated two-dimensional code CD. The administrator terminal 130 reads the two-dimensional code CD presented by the second user, and the first card reader terminal 140A scans the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user, and associates the identification information of the second user electronic card FC with the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user and registers them in the database 151 of the server 150. After registration, when the second card reader terminal 140B scans the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user, the server 150 capable of communicating with the second card reader terminal 140B notifies the first user terminal 110 of a message indicating that the second card reader terminal 140B has scanned the second user electronic card FC. In this way, the administrator can eliminate the trouble of manually inputting the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user, eliminate input errors, and notify the first user who is the guardian of the confirmation of the second user who is the student. It is possible to eliminate the annoyance of the first user and take infection prevention measures against the first user.

[0057] Furthermore, there are a plurality of card reader terminals, namely a first card reader terminal 140A and a second card reader terminal 140B. Installation location information AT of the first card reader terminal 140A and the second card reader terminal 140B is registered in a database 151. After registration, when the first card reader terminal 140A or the second card reader terminal 140B scans a second user electronic card FC presented by a second user, a server 150 capable of communicating with the first card reader terminal 140A and the second card reader terminal 140B notifies a first user terminal 110 of a message indicating that the second user electronic card FC has been scanned at the installation location information AT. Thus, for example, when scanned by the second card reader terminal 140B provided on a moving body such as a school bus BS, the first user can easily know whether the second user has scanned the second user electronic card FC with respect to the second card reader terminal 140B installed on the moving body such as the school bus BS.

[0058] Also, there are a plurality of card reader terminals, namely a first card reader terminal 140A and a second card reader terminal 140B. After registration, when the second card reader terminal 140B scans a second user electronic card FC presented by a second user, the second card reader terminal 140B acquires current location information LC and transmits the current location information LC and identification information of the second user electronic card FC to the server 150. A server 150 capable of communicating with the second card reader terminal 140B notifies the first user terminal 110 of a message indicating that the second user electronic card FC has been scanned at the current location information LC. Thus, for example, when scanned by a card reader terminal provided on a moving body such as a school bus BS, the first user can easily know where the second user scanned the second user electronic card FC when getting on the moving body such as the school bus BS or when getting off the moving body.

[0059] Furthermore, there are a plurality of card reader terminals, namely a first card reader terminal 140A and a second card reader terminal 140B. One of the second card reader terminals 140B is installed on the school bus BS. The database 151 has boarding location information for the second user when going to school. When the current location information LC of the second card reader terminal 140B is the boarding location of the second user, the administrator terminal 130 displays, based on the database 151, the second user name information and the status information indicating whether or not the second card reader terminal 140B scanned the second user's electronic card FC during boarding. In this configuration, the driver or administrator can easily check, by looking at the administrator terminal 130 for each parking location of the school bus BS, whether there is a second user who is a tardy student, and the first user can know that the second user boarded the bus without being late.

[0060] Also, there are a plurality of card reader terminals, namely a first card reader terminal 140A and a second card reader terminal 140B. One of the second card reader terminals 140B is installed on the school bus BS. The database 151 has alighting location information for the second user when returning from school. When the current location information LC of the second card reader terminal 140B is the alighting location of the second user, the administrator terminal 130 displays, based on the database 151, the second user name information and the status information indicating whether or not the second card reader terminal 140B scanned the second user's electronic card FC during alighting. In this configuration, the driver or administrator can easily check, by looking at the administrator terminal 130 for each parking location of the school bus BS, whether there is a second user who has not yet alighted. For example, if there is a second user who is sleeping in the school bus BS and is likely to miss the alighting stop, the driver or administrator can wake up the second user and inform the second user of the alighting location, thus avoiding the risk of the second user passing the alighting location while remaining on the school bus BS. The first user can know that the second user got off the bus properly without passing the alighting location while remaining on the bus.

[0061] Furthermore, when the administrator terminal 130 displays information of the second users who board or alight at each parking location of the school bus BS, and receives an absence notice about the second users from the first user terminal 110 to the administrator terminal 130, the server 150 sets the absence status in the database 151 for the names with absence notices, and the administrator terminal 130 sets and displays the absence status based on the database 151 for the names with absence notices among the scheduled boarders or alighters at each parking location. In this configuration, the administrator, who is the driver or the attendant, can easily determine whether to wait any longer or depart without waiting by looking at the administrator terminal 130 at each parking location of the school bus BS.

[0062] In addition, there are a plurality of card reader terminals including a first card reader terminal 140A and a second card reader terminal 140B. One of the second card reader terminals 140B is installed in the school bus BS. When the second user boards the bus and the second card reader terminal 140B scans the second user's electronic card FC, the server 150 determines whether the second card reader terminal 140B scans the second user's electronic card FC when the second user alights within a preset predetermined time. If it is determined that the scan has not been performed, a notice of being left behind in the school bus BS is sent to the administrator terminal 130. In this configuration, even if the second user is left behind in the school bus BS by accident, the second user can be rescued immediately.

[0063] Furthermore, when the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user are input on the first user terminal 110, the program of the notification system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention causes the first user terminal 110 to perform a code generation step S2 of generating a two-dimensional code CD as an example of a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code based on the input contact information and name information, a code transmission step of the first user terminal 110 transmitting the generated two-dimensional code CD to the set second user terminal 120, an information registration step S4 in which the administrator terminal 130 reads the two-dimensional code CD displayed on the display unit 121 of the second user terminal 120 presented by the second user, and the first card reader terminal 140A scans the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user, and associates the identification information of the second user electronic card FC with the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user and registers them in the database 151 of the server 150, and after the registration, when the second card reader terminal 140B scans the second user electronic card FC presented by the second user, a notification step S6 in which the server 150 capable of communicating with the second card reader terminal 140B notifies the first user terminal 110 of a message indicating that the second card reader terminal 140B has scanned the second user electronic card FC. By having these steps, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the administrator manually inputting the contact information of the first user terminal 110 and the name information of the second user, eliminate input errors, notify the first user, who is a guardian, of the confirmation of the second user, who is a student, eliminate the annoyance of the first user, and take infection prevention measures against the first user, etc., and the effect is very significant.
