You may think that you get.

  For example, when there are two or more destinations corresponding to the destination designation information, the spot time information acquisition unit 204 associates the spot information with the spot information so that the spot corresponding to the spot time information to be acquired can be specified. It is preferable to acquire the point-related information, specifically the point-related information having the point-time information. Specifically, the point time information acquisition unit 204 may acquire one or more point related information having point information related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information. Needless to say, even when there is only one destination, the point-related information may be acquired. The destination corresponding to the destination designation information is, for example, the destination indicated by the destination designation information. The destination corresponding to the destination designation information is, for example, a place or a point specified by the destination designation information. Hereinafter, an example in which the spot time information acquisition unit 204 acquires spot related information will be described.

(1) Acquisition of point-related information having point information of the destination For example, the point time information acquisition unit 204 uses the destination designation information as point-related information having point information related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information. The point related information having the point information of the destination corresponding to is acquired from the point related information storage unit 203. The point-related information having the point information of the destination is, for example, point-related information having point information having information that matches the destination designation information. For example, the spot time information acquisition unit 204 detects and acquires spot related information having spot information having information that matches the destination designation information. For example, if the point information is information having a destination name and a telephone number, and the destination designation information is a destination telephone number, the point time information acquisition unit 204 includes the telephone number of the destination designation information. Point-related information having point information having a matching telephone number is acquired. When the point time information acquisition unit 204 acquires the point related information, only a part of the point information, for example, only the name of the point in the point information, or only the name and position information of the point is selected. You may make it acquire automatically.

(2) Acquire point-related information having point information around the destination Further, for example, the point time information acquisition unit 204 includes, as point-related information having point information related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information, Point-related information having point information around the destination corresponding to the destination designation information is acquired from the point-related information storage unit 203.

  Specifically, the point-related information having point information around the destination is point-related information having point information indicating points around the destination. The points around the destination are points in a predesignated area including the destination. For example, a point around the destination is a point whose distance from the destination is within a predetermined distance. Further, the point around the destination may be, for example, a point in a region such as a rectangle or circle designated in advance with the destination centered. The point around the destination may be, for example, the same area as the destination, for example, a prefecture, a municipality, a chome, a street address, a building, or a site. However, the point information around the destination may be point information excluding the destination point information.

  For example, if the point information includes the position information of the point, the point time information acquisition unit 204 first acquires the position information of the destination indicated by the destination designation information. For example, if the destination designation information is not the location information of the destination (for example, coordinates expressed in latitude, lightness, etc., or coordinates on the map), the point information having information matching the destination designation information is It detects from the information storage part 203, and acquires the positional information which this point information has as the positional information on a destination. If the destination designation information is destination location information, the destination designation information is directly acquired as destination location information. And the point information which has the position information which shows the position of the circumference of this position information, for example, the point information which has the position information whose distance with this position information is below the distance specified beforehand is stored in point related information storage part 203 It detects in the spot information which related information has, and acquires the spot related information which has the detected spot information. In addition, since the process etc. which search the positional information which shows the periphery position of a certain position are well-known techniques, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted here.

(3) Acquisition of point-related information having point information around the route to the destination Further, for example, the point time information acquisition unit 204 has point information having point information related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information As information, one or more point related information having point information around the route indicated by the route information acquired by the route information acquiring unit 202 is acquired from the point related information storage unit 203. The route information acquired by the route information acquisition unit 202 is, for example, route information indicating a route acquired by performing a route search from the current location indicated by the current location information to the destination indicated by the destination designation information. The points around the route are, for example, points in an area including the route. The point in the area including the route may be, for example, a point whose distance from the route or a part of the route (for example, a node included in the route) is within a predetermined distance. The point in the area including the route may be, for example, a region where the route passes, for example, a point in a prefecture, a municipality, a chome, an address, a building, a site, or the like. Further, the point in the region including the route may be a point in a region such as a rectangle or a circle specified in advance by which the route passes. However, the area surrounding the route may be an area that does not include the destination or the area around the destination.

  For example, if the point information includes the position information of the point, the point time information acquisition unit 204 indicates position information indicating the position around the route indicated by the route information acquired by the route information acquisition unit 202, for example, a route The point information having the position information whose distance from the position on the route indicated by the information is equal to or less than the distance specified in advance is detected in the point information included in the point related information stored in the point related information storage unit 203 and detected. The spot related information having the spot information is acquired. In addition, since the process etc. which search the positional information which shows the position around the position on a path | route are well-known techniques, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  When the spot related information includes spot attribute information, the spot time information acquisition unit 204 includes the spot related information having spot information related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information acquired as described above. Then, the spot related information may be selectively acquired using spot attribute information or the like included in the spot related information. For example, the point attribute information included in the point related information including the point information of the destination is acquired from the point related information, and only the point related information having the point attribute information that matches the point attribute information is the point related to the destination. You may make it selectively acquire from the point relevant information which has information. Also, information specifying the attribute value input by the user or the like to the information processing terminal 10 is transmitted from the information processing terminal 10 to the server device 20, and the information specifying the attribute value received by the server device 20 indicates Only the spot related information associated with the attribute value may be selectively acquired.

  Further, the spot time information acquisition unit 204 may acquire the spot related information by a combination of two or more of the processes (1) to (3) described above or a process corresponding to this combination.

  In addition, in the above, when the destination corresponding to the destination designation information can be specified as one point, it is possible to acquire the point time information possessed by the point related information instead of the point related information. Not too long. In this case, for example, in the above process and the subsequent processes, the process in which the spot time information acquisition unit 204 acquires the spot related information may be a process of acquiring spot time information included in the spot related information. For example, in this case, (1) is processing for acquiring point time information included in point related information including point information of the destination, and (2) is a point included in point related information including point information around the destination The process of acquiring time information, (3), may be a process of acquiring point related information having point information around the route to the destination.

  In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the point time information acquisition unit 204 has one or more points having point information related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information received by the server reception unit 201. A case where related information is acquired will be described as an example. However, it goes without saying that the spot time information acquisition unit 204 may acquire spot time information included in the spot related information instead of the spot related information.

  The point time information acquisition unit 204 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the point time information acquisition unit 204 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The time information acquisition unit 205 acquires time information that is information indicating the time. The time here may be considered to include date and time. For example, the time information acquisition unit 205 acquires information indicating the current time as time information. The time information acquisition unit 205 acquires current time information from a clock (not shown) or an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server (not shown). Alternatively, information such as a transmission time given to the destination designation information transmitted from the information processing terminal 10 may be acquired as information on the current time.

  The time information acquisition unit 205 may acquire information indicating the predicted arrival time at the destination indicated by the destination designation information as time information. As time information, it is preferable to use information indicating such an estimated arrival time. For example, the time information acquisition unit 205 acquires information indicating the predicted arrival time obtained by adding the predicted travel time acquired by the route information acquisition unit 202 to the current time acquired as described above as time information. However, the estimated arrival time does not necessarily have to be acquired using the predicted travel time acquired by the route information acquisition unit 202. For example, the estimated arrival time is proportional to the linear distance between the current location and the destination or according to the linear distance. The predicted arrival time may be acquired by adding the travel time determined stepwise to the current time.

  The time information acquisition unit 205 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the time information acquisition unit 205 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The usage information acquisition unit 206 uses the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 205 and one or more point time information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204 to correspond to each point time information. It is determined whether or not the point indicated by the information is usable, and usage information about each point is acquired. The spot corresponding to one or more spot time information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204 is, for example, spot information included in the spot related information including the spot time information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204. The point corresponding to one or more point time information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204 is, for example, the point information included in the point related information that is the acquisition source of the point time information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204 It is.

  When the spot time information acquisition unit 204 acquires spot related information, the spot time information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204 is considered as spot time information included in the spot related information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204. May be. Specifically, the usage information acquisition unit 206 uses the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 205 and the point time information included in one or more point related information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204. Alternatively, it may be determined whether or not the point indicated by the point information included in each point-related information is available, and the usage information about each point may be acquired.

  Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, a case where the usage information acquisition unit 206 acquires usage information using the point time information included in the point related information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204 is taken as an example. Shall be explained. However, it goes without saying that the usage information may be acquired using the point time information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit 206. In this case, if the usage information acquisition unit 206 performs substantially the same processing as that when the location related information is used, except for the processing of acquiring the location time information from the location related information. Good. In this case, the spot time information acquired from the spot time information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204 may be considered as the spot time information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204 or the spot time information acquired from the spot related information. .

  The usage information acquisition unit 206 acquires, for example, usage information having point information indicating each point as the usage information for each point. Note that the usage information acquisition unit 206 may acquire usage information having only a part of a plurality of pieces of information included in the spot information included in the spot related information as the spot information. Note that the usage information acquisition unit 206 may acquire usage information that has usage availability information and does not have point information. For example, in the case where the information processing terminal 10 can determine whether or not the usage information has usage availability information, the usage information acquisition unit 206 has the usage availability information. Moreover, you may acquire the utilization information which does not have point information.

  As described above, the usage information is information regarding whether or not each point is available for one or more points related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information transmitted by the transmission unit 102. . The one or more points related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information are, for example, the points indicated by the point information included in the one or more point related information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204. . In addition, you may think that the spot information which the spot relevant information which the spot time information acquisition part 204 has has corresponds to the spot information corresponding to the spot time information which the spot time information acquisition part 204 acquired. Specifically, the spot information included in the spot related information having the spot time information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204 and the spot related information that is the acquisition source of the spot time information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204 are included. It may be point information. The same applies to the following.

  For example, the usage information acquisition unit 206 determines whether or not the spot indicated by the spot information included in each spot related information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204 is available at the time indicated by the time information. Get information. For example, the usage information acquisition unit 206 determines whether or not the time indicated by the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 205 is included in the point time information included in the one point related information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204. Judge the usage information according to whether it is included or not.

  For example, when the point time information included in the point related information is information indicating the available time of the point indicated by the point information, the use information acquisition unit 206 indicates that the time indicated by the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 205 is When it is a time within the time indicated by this point time information, use information having availability information indicating that the point is available at the time indicated by the time information is acquired, and when it is a time outside the time, it cannot be used. Usage information having availability information indicating that it is

  Further, for example, when the point time information included in the point related information is information indicating a time when the point indicated by the point information cannot be used, the use information acquisition unit 206 indicates the time indicated by the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 205. If the time is within the time indicated by the point time information, the usage information having the availability information indicating that the point is not available at the time indicated by the time information is acquired. Usage information having availability information indicating that it is possible is acquired.

  The usage information acquisition unit 206 performs, for example, the above-described process on one or more spot related information acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204.

  For example, the spot time information included in one spot related information having spot information about a certain restaurant acquired by the spot time information acquisition unit 204 indicates the time from 10:00 to 21:00 that is the business hours of this restaurant. In the case of information, when the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 205 is 18:00, the usage information acquisition unit 206 indicates that the time indicated by the time information is included in the time indicated by the point time information. It judges and the utilization information which shows that it can utilize and the utilization information which has this restaurant location information are acquired.

  In addition, by using information indicating the predicted arrival time as time information, the usage information acquisition unit 206 determines whether or not the point indicated by the point information included in the point related information is available at the predicted arrival time. Thus, the usage information can be acquired. For example, when a user using the information processing terminal 10 arrives at a point related to the destination, it is possible to determine whether this point is available. It is preferable to use information indicating.

  The usage information acquisition unit 206 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the usage information acquisition unit 206 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The terminal identification information storage unit 207 includes information indicating the information processing terminal 10 that has transmitted the destination designation information received by the server reception unit 201, and point information related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information. Terminal identification information is stored. The information indicating the information processing terminal 10 is, for example, an IP address of the information processing terminal 10, address information such as a mail address or URL, identification information of the information processing terminal 10, and the like. The information indicating the information processing terminal 10 may be information specifying the information processing terminal 10 as a transmission destination, for example. The point information related to the destination corresponding to the destination designation information is, for example, the point information related to the destination acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204 according to the destination designation information. This is spot information included in the spot-related information acquired by the acquisition unit 204 according to the destination designation information.

  The terminal identification information storage unit 208 includes information indicating the information processing terminal that has transmitted the destination designation information received by the server reception unit 201, and the point information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit according to the destination designation information. The terminal identification information is stored in the terminal identification information storage unit 207.

  The terminal specific information storage unit 208 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the terminal identification information storage unit 208 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The server transmission unit 209 transmits the usage information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit 206 to the information processing terminal 10. The server transmission unit 209 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication unit, but may be realized by a broadcasting unit. The server transmission unit 209 may or may not include a communication device.

  The server dynamic reception unit 210 receives point dynamic information from the information input device 30. The point dynamic information is information having dynamic information related to one or more points. The point dynamic information is information having point information and dynamic information related to the point information, for example. Specifically, the server dynamic receiving unit 210 receives point dynamic information regarding this point from the information input device 30 corresponding to the one point. For example, point dynamic information having point information indicating this point is received from the information input device 30 corresponding to one point. The information input device 30 corresponding to one point is, for example, the information input device 30 that is used or managed in a restaurant or hospital that is one point. Dynamic information is dynamically changing information related to point information. The information related to the spot information means, for example, information about the spot indicated by the spot information. The dynamically changing information is information that is changed or fluctuates according to a change in time, information that is temporarily generated, and the like. For example, the dynamic information is information indicating that there are lost items such as forgotten items and lost items at the point indicated by the point information, information indicating the availability of seats at the point indicated by the point information, and the status indicating the number of vacant seats, etc. is there. The dynamic information may be vacant seat prediction information. The dynamic information may be information indicating that the business is temporarily closed.

  The server dynamic reception unit 210 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means. The server dynamic reception unit 210 may or may not include a communication device.

  The server dynamic transmission unit 211 transmits the point dynamic information received by the server dynamic reception unit 210 to the information processing terminal 10 that has transmitted the usage information corresponding to the same point information as the point dynamic information. The usage information corresponding to the same point information as the point dynamic information is, for example, usage information having the same point information as the point dynamic information. For example, the server dynamic transmission unit 211 transmits the point dynamic information to the information processing terminal indicated by the terminal specifying information having the same point information as the point dynamic information received by the server dynamic reception unit 210. For example, the server dynamic transmission unit 211 detects terminal identification information having the same point information as the point dynamic information received by the server dynamic reception unit 210 by searching from the terminal identification information storage unit 207, and detects the detected terminal identification. This point dynamic information is transmitted to the information processing terminal 10 indicated by the information.

  For example, when the server reception unit 201 receives the point dynamic information, the server dynamic transmission unit 211 transmits the usage information corresponding to the same point information as the point dynamic information when the point dynamic information is received. Push-transmit to the terminal 10. The usage information corresponding to the same point information as the point dynamic information is, for example, usage information having the same point information as the point dynamic information. The push transmission of point dynamic information is, for example, transmitting point dynamic information to the information processing terminal 10 even if there is no transmission request from the information processing terminal 10.

  In addition, the server dynamic transmission unit 211 causes the server reception unit 201 to accumulate the received point dynamic information in a storage unit (not illustrated) or the like. Information indicating the information processing terminal 10 that transmitted the requested information is acquired from the requested information, information added to the information, and the like, and the information processing terminal 10 The terminal identification information having information indicating the information processing terminal that matches the information indicating the terminal information is detected from the terminal identification information storage unit 207, the spot information included in the detected terminal identification information is acquired, and the spot information that matches the spot information May be acquired from the above-described storage unit (not shown) and transmitted to the information processing terminal 10 that has requested transmission. That is, the server dynamic transmission unit 211 may perform so-called pull transmission of the point dynamic information.

  In this case, for example, when a predetermined operation is performed on one information processing terminal 10, a request transmission unit (for transmitting information requesting transmission of point dynamic information) ( The server device 20 is provided with a request receiving unit (not shown) for receiving information requesting transmission, and is designated in advance for one information processing terminal 10. When an operation is performed, the request transmission unit transmits information requesting transmission to the server device 20, and the server device 20 that has received the information requesting transmission with the request information performs the point dynamic information as described above. May be transmitted to a single information processing terminal 10. This predesignated operation is, for example, an operation for setting a destination for the information processing terminal 10 or an operation for starting the information processing terminal 10. When the information processing terminal 10 is an in-vehicle navigation device, the operation for starting the information processing terminal 10 is, for example, an operation for starting an engine of a vehicle on which the information processing terminal 10 is mounted or an operation for turning on the power of the vehicle. . Further, the operation for setting the destination may be, for example, an operation for inputting destination designation information.

  For example, when the server reception unit 201 receives the point dynamic information, the server dynamic transmission unit 211 is the usage information having the same point information as the point dynamic information, and is the arrival information used at the time of acquisition. The point dynamic information may be transmitted to the information processing terminal 10 that has transmitted the usage information in which the predicted time has a relationship specified in advance with respect to the time at which the point dynamic information is received.

  For example, when the dynamic information included in the point dynamic information is information indicating that there is a lost item, the elapsed time until the time when the point dynamic information is received is within a predetermined time, for example, You may make it transmit this point dynamic information only to the information processing terminal 10 which transmitted the utilization information acquired using the arrival arrival time within 1 hour.

  Further, for example, when the dynamic information included in the point dynamic information is information indicating the vacant seat status, the elapsed time from the time when the point dynamic information is received is within a predetermined time, for example, one hour. The point dynamic information may be transmitted only to the information processing terminal 10 that has transmitted the usage information acquired using the estimated arrival time.

  In order to perform such processing, for example, the terminal identification information storage unit 208 stores terminal identification information that further includes an estimated arrival time corresponding to the spot information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit 206. The estimated time of arrival of this terminal identification information may be used when determining whether or not to transmit point dynamic information to the information processing terminal 10 as appropriate.

  The server dynamic transmission unit 211 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication unit. The server dynamic transmission unit 211 may or may not include a communication device.

  The information input device 30 is a device that is used at a point indicated by point information, for example. The information input device 30 is realized by, for example, a computer or a device similar to the information processing terminal 10.

  The point dynamic information reception unit 301 receives point dynamic information. As described above, the point dynamic information is information having dynamic information. The point dynamic information may further include point information corresponding to the dynamic information. For example, the point dynamic information reception unit 301 receives point dynamic information including point information indicating one point and dynamic information regarding the point indicated by the point information. This one point is a point corresponding to the information input device 30 having the point dynamic information receiving unit 301, for example. The point corresponding to the information input device 30 is, for example, a point where the information input device 30 is used. The point dynamic information reception unit 301 receives, for example, dynamic information about a point indicated by the point information.

  The point dynamic information receiving unit 301 receives point dynamic information having dynamic information input from an administrator or operator at one point via an input device such as a keyboard. The point dynamic information receiving unit 301 may further receive point dynamic information having point information. The reception of the spot information may be reception of spot information transmitted from the server device 20 or the like in response to an input of a login ID or account corresponding to the spot information, or a login ID or spot information that is spot information. It may be an account input.

  Further, reception of the spot information may be considered as reading of spot information stored in advance in a recording medium (not shown), for example. For example, the point dynamic information reception unit 301 includes dynamic information input via an input device and the like, and point information (for example, a point name and an identifier) stored in advance read from a storage unit (not shown). You may make it accept the point dynamic information which has. The point information here may be address information such as an IP address or a mail address corresponding to the point. In addition, the point dynamic information reception part 301 may acquire point information, when the point dynamic information transmission part 302 mentioned later transmits point dynamic information. For example, the point dynamic information receiving unit 301 receives point information such as an IP address and device identification information that is assigned when the point dynamic information transmitting unit 302 transmits the point dynamic information. It may be considered as spot information.

  The point dynamic information input means may be anything such as a numeric keypad, a keyboard, a mouse, or a menu screen. The point dynamic information receiving unit 301 can be realized by a device driver of an input unit such as a numeric keypad or a keyboard, control software for a menu screen, or the like.

  The point dynamic information transmission unit 302 transmits the point dynamic information received by the point dynamic information reception unit 301 to the server device 20. The point dynamic information transmitting unit 302 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication unit, but may be realized by a broadcasting unit. The point dynamic information transmission unit 302 may or may not include a communication device.

  Although the description is omitted here, the information processing terminal 10 uses the destination designation information and the current location information received by the destination designation information receiving unit 100 in the same manner as a so-called navigation device (not shown), for example. A map output unit (not shown) that obtains and outputs a map of the destination and current location indicated by or a route search from this current location to the destination is obtained, and information indicating the route is obtained. A route output unit (not shown) for outputting the information shown may be included.

The point dynamic information reception unit 301 repeats the determination as to whether the point dynamic information has been received. When the point dynamic information reception unit 301 determines that the point dynamic information has been received, the point dynamic information transmission unit 302 transmits the point dynamic information received by the point dynamic information reception unit 301 to the server device 20. Send.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information processing system 1 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram of the information processing system 1. Here, a case where a plurality of information processing terminals 10a, 10b,... And a plurality of information input devices 30a, 30b,. Here, a case where the information processing terminal 10 is a navigation device mounted on an automobile will be described as an example.

  First, when the user of the information processing terminal 10a operates the touch panel or the like on the information processing terminal 10 and inputs the character string “ABC restaurant” that is the name of the destination, the destination designation information receiving unit 100 accepts the character string “ABC restaurant” as destination designation information. For example, assume that the user performs an operation of pressing a button or the like for setting a destination.

  The current position acquisition unit 101 acquires current location information of the information processing terminal 10a. The current location information is assumed to be coordinates composed of latitude and longitude indicating the current location. Then, the transmission unit 102 transmits the destination designation information “ABC restaurant” received above and the current location information to the server device 20.

  The server reception unit 201 of the server device 20 receives the destination designation information “ABC restaurant” transmitted from the information processing terminal 10a and the current location information of the information processing terminal 10a. Here, it is assumed that the IP address “123.456.xxx.xxx” of the information processing terminal 10a is also received as information indicating the information processing terminal 10a. Note that “x” is an arbitrary single-digit integer.

  The route information acquisition unit 202 includes information on the coordinates of the destination designated by the destination designation information in association with the name of the point stored in a storage unit (not shown) and the coordinates of the point, or point-related information. The information is acquired by searching or the like from the point information having the name of the point and the coordinates of the point that the point-related information stored in the storage unit 203 has. Then, using the acquired coordinates of the destination and the coordinates of the current position, which is the current position information received by the server receiving unit 201, the road information stored in a storage unit (not shown) is used to determine the destination from the current position. The route information indicating the route from the current location to the destination is acquired. The acquired route information includes, for example, information on a node that is a node of the route, information on a link that connects this node, and the like. The route search from the current location to the destination may be performed in any manner using any information. The route information may be any information as long as the route can be specified.

  In addition, the route information acquisition unit 202 acquires a predicted travel time when moving from the current location to the destination on the route indicated by the acquired route information. For example, the predicted travel time can be acquired by adding travel time information or the like associated with each link indicated by the route information. Since the technology for obtaining the predicted travel time when the route acquired based on the route search result is moved is a known technology, detailed description thereof is omitted here. For example, assume that the acquired estimated travel time is 40 minutes.

FIG. 5 is a spot related information management table for managing spot related information stored in the spot related information storage unit 203. The point-related information management table has attributes of “point” and “time”. The “point information” further has attributes of “name” and “position”. “Point” indicates point information. “Time” indicates point time information, and here, it is a usable time such as the business hours of the point. The time here may be considered a time zone. “Name” is the name of the point. “Position” is position information of a point, and here is the coordinates of the point indicated by a pair of latitude and longitude. Note that x ₁ , x _2, etc. indicate arbitrary values indicating latitude, and y ₁ , y _2, etc. indicate arbitrary values indicating longitude.

  The point time information acquisition unit 204 detects a record (row) in which “name” matches “destination designation information“ ABC restaurant ”from the point related information management table shown in FIG. The match here may be a complete match or a partial match. Here, a case of perfect match will be described as an example.

  The point time information acquisition unit 204 detects a record on the fourth line from the top of FIG. 4 as a record (line) whose “name” matches the destination designation information “ABC restaurant”. Then, the attribute value “ABC restaurant” of “name” that is one of the spot information of the detected record and the spot time information “11: 00 to 14:00, 17: 00 to 20 that is the attribute value of“ time ”. : 0:00 ”is acquired as the spot related information.

  Next, the time information acquisition unit 205 acquires the current time from a clock (not shown). It is assumed that the acquired time is “16:50”. Then, the time information acquisition unit 205 sets “17:30”, which is a time obtained by adding “40 minutes” that is the predicted travel time acquired by the route information acquisition unit 202, to the acquired current time as the predicted arrival time. Obtain time information indicating this time.

  The usage information acquisition unit 206 is within the time indicated by the point time information “11: 0 to 14:00, 17:00 to 20:00” included in the point related information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204. It is determined whether or not the time indicated by the point time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 205, that is, the predicted arrival time “17:30” is included. Here, it is determined that the predicted arrival time is included in the time indicated by the point time information. Further, since this point time information is information indicating the time at which the point can be used, the use information acquisition unit 206 can use the point indicated by the point information included in the point related information at the time indicated by the estimated arrival time. It is judged that. For this reason, the usage information acquisition unit 206 includes the location information “ABC restaurant” included in the location-related information, and information indicating that this location is available, for example, availability information such as “available”. Usage information such as “ABC restaurant: available” is acquired.

  The server transmission unit 209 transmits the usage information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit 206 to the information processing terminal 10a that is the transmission source of the destination designation information. For example, the usage information is transmitted to the information processing terminal 10a using the IP address of the information processing terminal 10a transmitted together with the destination designation information.

  The receiving unit 103 of the information processing terminal 10 a receives usage information transmitted from the server device 20. The output unit 104 displays the received usage information on a monitor or the like (not shown). For example, the character string “ABC restaurant: available” indicated by the usage information is arranged on a template designated in advance and displayed on a monitor (not shown). In addition, a position corresponding to “ABC restaurant” may be searched in the map displayed by the information processing terminal 10a, and an icon, a mark, a dialog, or the like indicating that it can be used at the detected position may be displayed.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a display example of usage information. Here, the example which displayed the dialog which has arrange | positioned the character string which usage information shows in the position corresponding to "ABC restaurant" on a map is shown.

  Thereby, the user can know that the destination designated by the destination designation information can be used at the estimated arrival time.

  The time information acquisition unit 205 is within the time indicated by the point time information “11: 0 to 14:00, 17: 0 to 20:00” included in the point related information acquired by the point time information acquisition unit 204. When it is determined that the time indicated by the acquired point time information is not included, the use information acquiring unit 206 uses the point information “ABC restaurant” included in the point related information and the use indicating that this point is not available. Usage information having availability information, for example, availability information such as “unusable (outside use time)”, for example, “ABC restaurant: unavailable (outside use time)” is acquired.

  As a result, usage information indicating that “ABC restaurant” cannot be used is output to the information processing terminal 10a, and the user uses the destination designated by the destination designation information at the predicted arrival time. You can know that it is impossible.

  The terminal identification information storage unit 208 of the server device 20 is information that is a transmission source of the spot information “ABC restaurant” included in the usage information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit 206 and the destination designation information received by the server reception unit 201. The terminal identification information storage unit 207 acquires the terminal identification information having the IP address “123.456.xxx.xxx” of the processing terminal 10 a and the estimated arrival time “17:30” acquired by the time information acquisition unit 205. To accumulate.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a terminal identification information management table for managing terminal identification information stored in the terminal identification information storage unit 207. The terminal identification information management table has attributes of “name”, “terminal address”, and “predicted arrival time”. “Name” is point information, and here is the name of the point. The “terminal address” is information indicating the information processing terminal 10, and here is the IP address of the information processing terminal 10. “Predicted arrival time” is the predicted arrival time.

  Here, it is assumed that an ABC restaurant clerk determines that there are many vacant seats by looking at the vacant seat status of the ABC restaurant. Then, the name of the point, in this case, “ABC restaurant” which is the name of the store and dynamic information composed of the character string “available seats” is input to the information input device 30 managed by the ABC restaurant. Suppose that

  The information input device 30 receives the input point name “ABC restaurant” and the dynamic information “vacant seats”, and the point dynamic information transmission unit 302 receives the point information “ABC restaurant” which is the name of this point. And the point dynamic information having the dynamic information “available seats” is transmitted to the server device 20.

  The server dynamic receiving unit 210 of the server device 20 receives the point dynamic information including the point information “ABC restaurant” and the dynamic information “available seats” transmitted from the information input device 30.

  The server dynamic transmission unit 211 acquires the point information “ABC restaurant” from the point dynamic information received by the server dynamic reception unit 210, and in the terminal identification information management table shown in FIG. Is searched for a record that matches “ABC restaurant”, and the attribute value of “terminal address” of the detected record is acquired. For example, here, it is assumed that only “123.456.xxx.xxx”, which is the IP address of the information processing terminal 10a, is acquired as the attribute value of “terminal address”.

  The server dynamic transmission unit 211 transmits the point dynamic information received by the server dynamic reception unit 210 to the information processing terminal 10 indicated by the acquired “terminal address” attribute value, here, the information processing terminal 10a. Thereby, the point dynamic information can be selectively transmitted to the information processing terminal 10 that has transmitted the usage information about the point indicated by the point information included in the point dynamic information, and is useful for each information processing terminal. Only dynamic information can be selectively transmitted.

  The dynamic reception unit 105 of the information processing terminal 10a receives the point dynamic information transmitted by the server dynamic transmission unit 211, and the dynamic output unit 106 uses the received point dynamic information in the same manner as the usage information described above. And displayed on a monitor (not shown).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the point dynamic information.

  Further, for example, the user of the information processing terminal 10a eats and drinks after arriving at the ABC restaurant that is the destination before and after the predicted arrival time “17:30”, and then at “18:30” Let's say that Assume that immediately after the user departs, a store clerk at the ABC restaurant finds something left behind in the store. For this reason, this store clerk has the name of the point, in this case, the name of the store, “ABC restaurant”, and “<lost thing> lost items of glasses” in the information input device 30 managed by the ABC restaurant. And dynamic information composed of the character string It is assumed that the character string “<lost property>” is information for specifying dynamic information indicating a lost item.

  The information input device 30 accepts the input point name “ABC restaurant” and the dynamic information “<item lost> glasses lost”. The point dynamic information transmission unit 302 receives the name of this point. The point dynamic information having the point information “ABC restaurant” and the dynamic information “<lost object> lost spectacles” is transmitted to the server device 20.

  The server dynamic receiving unit 210 of the server device 20 has the point information “ABC restaurant” transmitted from the information input device 30 and the point dynamic information having the dynamic information “<lost object> lost spectacles”. Receive.

  The server dynamic transmission unit 211 acquires the point information “ABC restaurant” from the point dynamic information received by the server dynamic reception unit 210, and in the terminal identification information management table shown in FIG. Is searched for a record that matches “ABC restaurant”, and the attribute value of “terminal address” of the detected record is acquired. For example, here, it is assumed that only “123.456.xxx.xxx”, which is the IP address of the information processing terminal 10a, is acquired as the attribute value of “terminal address”.

  Here, if the dynamic information includes a character string indicating that there was a lost item “<lost object>”, the time specified in advance is added to the time indicated by the “estimated arrival time” of the record detected above. It is set in advance as a process of the server dynamic transmission unit 211 that the time obtained by adding the acquired times is acquired as an end time and a process of determining whether or not the current time is included in the end time is performed. It shall be.

  The server dynamic transmission unit 211 performs a process of detecting a character string indicating that there is a lost item, “<lost property>”, in the dynamic information received above. Here, since the dynamic information received above includes the character string “<lost property>”, the server dynamic transmission unit 211 detects this character string. Since the character string “<lost object>” is detected, the server dynamic transmission unit 211 acquires “17:30” that is the “estimated arrival time” of the record detected above, and is designated in advance at this time. For example, an end time “19:00” obtained by adding 1 hour 30 minutes, and an end time obtained here from “17:30” which is an “estimated arrival time” It is determined whether or not the current time is included in the time until “19:00”. The current time is acquired using the time information acquisition unit 205, for example. When the current time is included in this time, the information processing terminal 10a indicated by the IP address acquired by the server dynamic transmission unit 211 above indicates the point dynamic information received by the server dynamic reception unit 210. Send to. If the current time is not included in this time, the point dynamic information is not transmitted to the information processing terminal 10a.

  The dynamic reception unit 105 of the information processing terminal 10a receives the point dynamic information transmitted by the server dynamic transmission unit 211, and the dynamic output unit 106 uses the received point dynamic information in the same manner as the usage information described above. And displayed on a monitor (not shown). For example, in the display example shown in FIG. 8, a display is performed in which the character string “There is a vacant seat” is replaced with the character string “<Lost object> Lost eyeglasses”.

  Thereby, it becomes possible to notify only the user who visited the point immediately before the dynamic information indicating that there was a lost article selectively.

  In the above specific example, the point time information acquisition unit 204 has acquired the point related information having the point information of the destination indicated by the destination designation information. However, the point time information acquisition unit 204 has been described. Is point-related information having point information indicating a point around the destination indicated by the destination designation information, for example, a point located within a predetermined distance from the destination, or route information acquired by the route information acquisition unit You may make it acquire the point relevant information which has the point information which shows the point where the distance with respect to the path | route which is shown is below the distance designated beforehand. As a result, even if the destination usage information is information indicating that the destination cannot be used, other options can be shown to the user.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not a point related to the destination is available using the point time information associated with the point related to the destination specified by the destination specifying information. The usage information shown can be acquired and output, and it is possible to easily confirm whether or not a point related to the destination is available.

  Moreover, the information processing terminal can receive and output the point dynamic information having the dynamic information related to the point related to the destination, and the information obtained dynamically at the point related to the destination is output. Thus, for example, it is possible to appropriately grasp the current situation at this point.

(Embodiment 2)
In the information processing system shown in the above embodiment, the example of specifying the information processing terminal that is the destination of the point dynamic information using the terminal specifying information has been described. When the information processing terminal requests the server device to transmit the point dynamic information corresponding to the point information included in the usage information, the server device requests the point dynamic information corresponding to the point information as a request source. An information processing system that transmits data to an information processing terminal will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram of the information processing system 2 in the present embodiment. 9, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 denote the same or corresponding parts, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

  The information processing system 2 includes one or more information processing terminals 11, a server device 21, and one or more information input devices 30. Here, for convenience of explanation, an example in which there is one information processing terminal 11 and one information input device 30 is shown.

  The information processing terminal 11 includes a destination designation information reception unit 100, a current position acquisition unit 101, a transmission unit 102, a reception unit 103, an output unit 104, a dynamic reception unit 105, a dynamic output unit 106, and a request transmission unit 107. .

  The server device 21 includes a server reception unit 201, a route information acquisition unit 202, a point related information storage unit 203, a point time information acquisition unit 204, a time information acquisition unit 205, a usage information acquisition unit 206, a server transmission unit 209, a server dynamic A reception unit 210, a request reception unit 212, and a server dynamic transmission unit 213 are provided.

  The request transmission unit 107 transmits information requesting transmission of point dynamic information (hereinafter, transmission request information) to the server device 21. For example, the request transmission unit 107 transmits to the server device 21 information requesting transmission of point dynamic information transmitted from a point corresponding to the destination designation information transmitted by the transmission unit 102. For example, the request transmission unit 107 transmits transmission request information for requesting transmission of point dynamic information corresponding to the point information corresponding to the usage information received by the reception unit 103 to the server device 21. The point information corresponding to the usage information is, for example, the point information included in the usage information when the usage information includes the point information. The point dynamic information corresponding to the point information is point dynamic information having the same point information as the point information. For example, the request transmission unit 107 transmits transmission request information having point information included in the usage information received by the reception unit 103 to the server device 21. The transmission request information is information having information indicating the information processing terminal 11 as described in the above embodiment, for example. In order to transmit the transmission request information having the point information as described above, for example, the receiving unit 103 accumulates the received usage information or the point information included in the usage information in a storage unit (not shown). It is preferable that the request transmission unit 107 can appropriately read the spot information.

  For example, the request transmission unit 107 may transmit the transmission request information in response to an instruction to transmit the transmission request information received from the user via a reception unit (not shown). For example, the request transmission unit 107 transmits, to the server device 21, transmission request information that requests transmission of point dynamic information corresponding to the point information specified by the user among the point information included in the usage information.

  Further, for example, the request transmission unit 107 transmits the point dynamic information corresponding to the point information included in the usage information received by the reception unit 103 when a predetermined operation is performed on the information processing terminal 11. The transmission request information for requesting may be transmitted to the server device 21. The operation designated in advance is, for example, an operation for setting a destination for the information processing terminal 11 or an operation for starting the information processing terminal 11. When the information processing terminal 11 is an in-vehicle navigation device, the operation for starting the information processing terminal 11 is, for example, an operation for starting an engine of a car equipped with the information processing terminal 11 or an operation for turning on the power of the car. . Further, the operation for setting the destination may be, for example, an operation for inputting destination designation information.

  The request transmission unit 107 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means. The request transmission unit 107 may or may not include a communication device.

  The request receiving unit 212 receives transmission request information from the information processing terminal 11. The request receiving unit 212 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means. The request receiving unit 212 may or may not include a communication device.

  The server dynamic transmission unit 211 transmits the point dynamic information received by the server dynamic reception unit 210 to the information processing terminal 11 that has transmitted the usage information having the same point information as the point dynamic information. The server dynamic transmission unit 211 is, for example, a point requested by transmission request information which is information for requesting transmission of point dynamic information corresponding to the point information included in the usage information received by the reception unit 103 of the information processing terminal 11. Send dynamic information. Specifically, the point dynamic information requested by the transmission request information means that the server dynamic transmission unit 211 converts the point dynamic information having the point information matching the point information included in the transmission request information to the transmission request information. The information is transmitted to the transmitted information processing terminal 11. For example, the server dynamic reception unit 210 stores the point dynamic information in a storage unit (not shown), and the server dynamic reception unit 210 receives the point dynamic information. The unit 211 acquires one or more pieces of point information from the point dynamic information, and searches for point dynamic information that matches each point information from the point dynamic information stored in the storage unit (not shown). Then, the detected point dynamic information is transmitted to the information processing terminal 11 that has transmitted the transmission request information.

  In addition, as a structure and process of the server dynamic transmission part 211 other than this, the structure, process, etc. of the server dynamic transmission part 211 of Embodiment 1 can be applied suitably.

  Next, an example of operation | movement of the information processing terminal 11 of this Embodiment is demonstrated.

  The information processing terminal 11 performs the same processing as the processing from step S101 to step S107 in FIG. 2 as in the above embodiment. Furthermore, in the process of step S106, when determining that the point dynamic information has not been received, the request transmission unit 107 determines whether or not to transmit the transmission request information. For example, it is determined whether or not a previously designated operation as described above has been performed on the information processing terminal 11, and when the operation has been performed, it is determined that transmission request information is to be transmitted. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not an instruction to transmit transmission request information is received from the user, and if it is received, it is determined that transmission request information is transmitted.

  When it is determined that the transmission request information is to be transmitted, the request transmission unit 107 transmits the transmission request information including the point information to the server device 21. The transmission request information including the point information may be information including only the point information or the information indicating the point information and the information processing terminal 11, and the transmission request information is requested to transmit the point dynamic information. It may be information including an instruction to perform. Then, the process returns to step S101.

  If it is determined not to transmit the transmission request information, the process returns to step S101.

  Next, an example of the operation of the server device 21 will be described.

  The server device 21 performs the processing from step S201 to step S209 in FIG. 3 as in the above embodiment. When the point dynamic information is received in step S209, the received point dynamic information is accumulated in a storage unit (not shown) instead of step S210 and step S211, and the process returns to step S201.

  If it is determined in step S209 that no point dynamic information has been received, the request reception unit 212 determines whether transmission request information has been received from the information processing terminal 11.

  If it is determined that the transmission request information has been received, the request reception unit 212 causes the server dynamic transmission unit 213 to search for point information that matches the point information included in the transmission request information from the point dynamic information stored above. The point dynamic information is searched, and the detected point dynamic information is transmitted to the information processing terminal 11 that is the transmission source of the transmission request information. Then, the process returns to step S201. Even if it cannot be detected, the process returns to step S201 without transmission.

  If it is determined that the transmission request information has not been received, the process returns to step S201.

  Hereinafter, a specific example of this embodiment will be described using a specific example of the above embodiment. Here, a case where the usage information includes point information will be described as an example.

  Processing until the information processing terminal 11 receives and outputs the usage information is the same as the specific example of the above embodiment.

  The receiving unit 103 accumulates the spot information of the received usage information, for example, “ABC restaurant” that is the spot information of the usage information displayed in FIG. 6 in a storage unit (not shown).

  Similarly to the specific example, the point dynamic information “ABC restaurant: vacant seat” is transmitted from the information input device 30 of the ABC restaurant to the server device 21, and the server device 21 receives the point dynamic information received. Is stored in a storage unit (not shown).

  Next, it is assumed that a user who uses the information processing terminal 11 performs an operation for setting a destination on the information processing terminal 11. If the operation for setting the destination is designated in advance as an operation for determining transmission of transmission request information, the request transmission unit 107 determines that it is a timing for transmitting transmission request information. Then, the request transmission unit 107 reads “ABC restaurant” that is the point information included in the usage information accumulated in the storage unit (not shown), and transmits the transmission request information including the point information to the server device 21.

  When the request reception unit 212 receives the transmission request information, the server dynamic transmission unit 213 of the server device 21 acquires “ABC restaurant” that is the point information included in the transmission request information, and accumulates it in a storage unit (not shown). From the dynamic information, the point dynamic information having the point information “ABC restaurant” is searched, and the detected point dynamic information “ABC restaurant: vacant seat” is set as the information processing terminal serving as the transmission source of the transmission request information. 11 to send.

  When the dynamic receiving unit 105 of the information processing terminal 11 receives the point dynamic information, the dynamic output unit 106 outputs, for example, displays the point dynamic information as in FIG.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the point dynamic information can be received from the server device 21 according to the transmission request information transmitted by the information processing terminal 11 and output. The point dynamic information can be output at a preferred timing.

For example, the dynamic reception unit 128 receives the point dynamic information transmitted by the information input device 32 in accordance with the point transmission request information transmitted by the request transmission unit 131 described later. The dynamic receiving unit 105 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by a means for receiving a broadcast. The dynamic receiving unit 105 may or may not include a communication device.

  The dynamic output unit 129 outputs the point dynamic information received by the dynamic reception unit 128. The processing, configuration, and the like for the dynamic output unit 129 to output the point dynamic information are the same as those of the dynamic output unit 106 of the above embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The point transmission destination information storage unit 130 stores one or more pieces of point transmission destination information. The point transmission destination information is information having point information and information for designating a transmission destination for transmitting information to the information input device 32 corresponding to the point information (hereinafter, transmission destination designation information). The destination designation information is, for example, address information such as an IP address of the information input device 32 or a mail address. In the point transmission destination information storage unit 130, for example, one or more pieces of point transmission destination information having the point information stored in the point related information storage unit 203 are stored.

The request transmission unit 131 transmits point transmission request information, which is information for requesting transmission of point dynamic information, to the information input device 32.
The request transmission unit 131 transmits, for example, point transmission request information for requesting transmission of point dynamic information to the information input device 32 corresponding to the point indicated by the destination designation information received by the destination designation information receiving unit 100. . For example, the request transmission unit 107 sends the point transmission request information for requesting the transmission of the point dynamic information corresponding to the point information included in the usage information received by the reception unit 103 to the information input device 32 corresponding to the point information. Send. The point dynamic information corresponding to the point information is, for example, point dynamic information having point information that matches the point information. The information input device 32 corresponding to the spot information is, for example, the information input device 32 corresponding to the spot indicated by the spot information.

  For example, the request transmission unit 131 detects the point transmission destination information having the point information that matches the point information included in the usage information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit 126 from the point transmission destination information storage unit 130 by searching. Then, the transmission destination information of the detected point transmission destination information is acquired, and the point transmission request information is transmitted to the information input device 32 indicated by the transmission destination information. The request transmission unit 131 may acquire transmission destination information for point information included in all the usage information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit 126, or may acquire transmission destination information for point information included in some usage information. May be. For example, the transmission destination information may be acquired for the usage information or the spot information specified by the user among the usage information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit 126 or the spot information included in the usage information.

  Note that the point transmission request information here does not have to include the point information, unlike the transmission request information of the second embodiment described above. For example, the point transmission request information includes information indicating a command for transmitting the point dynamic information, and information indicating the information processing terminal 12 that is the destination of the point dynamic information, that is, the information processing terminal 12 that transmits the point transmission request information. For example, the address information of the information processing terminal 12 may be used.

  In order to transmit the transmission request information as described above, for example, the usage information acquisition unit 126 accumulates the acquired usage information or point information included in the usage information in a storage unit (not shown), It is preferable that the request transmission unit 131 can appropriately read the spot information.

  For example, the request transmission unit 131 transmits the point transmission request information in response to an instruction to transmit the point transmission request information received from the user via a reception unit (not shown). For example, the request transmission unit 107 transmits the point transmission request information for requesting the transmission of the point dynamic information to the information input device 32 corresponding to the point information specified by the user among the point information included in the usage information. .

  In addition, for example, when the request transmission unit 131 performs a predetermined operation on the information processing terminal 12, the request transmission unit 131 sends the information input device 32 corresponding to the spot information included in the usage information received by the reception unit 103. You may make it transmit the point transmission request information which requests | requires transmission of point dynamic information. The operation designated in advance is, for example, the same operation as the operation designated in advance for the information processing terminal 12 described in the above embodiment. Note that the request transmission unit 131 may transmit the point transmission request information only within a time that has a predetermined relationship with the estimated arrival time, like the server dynamic transmission unit 211 described above. .

  The request transmission unit 107 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means. The request transmission unit 107 may or may not include a communication device.

  The request receiving unit 320 receives point transmission request information from the information processing terminal 12. The request receiving unit 320 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by a means for receiving a broadcast. The request receiving unit 320 may or may not include a communication device.

  The point dynamic information transmission unit 322 transmits the point dynamic information received by the point dynamic information reception unit 301 to the information processing terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the point transmission request information.

  For example, the request receiving unit 320 stores information indicating the information processing terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the point transmission request information in a storage unit (not shown), and the point dynamic information receiving unit 301 is configured to store the point dynamic information. Is received, the point dynamic information transmitting unit 322 transmits the point dynamic information to the information processing terminal 12 indicated by the information indicating the information processing terminal 12 stored in the storage unit (not shown). Also good.

  In addition, the point dynamic information received by the point dynamic information receiving unit 301 is accumulated in a storage unit (not shown), and when the request receiving unit 320 receives the point transmission request information, the point transmission request information The stored point dynamic information may be transmitted to the information processing terminal 12 that is the transmission source of.

  The point dynamic information transmitting unit 302 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication unit, but may be realized by a broadcasting unit. The point dynamic information transmission unit 302 may or may not include a communication device.

  Next, an example of operation | movement of the information processing terminal 12 of this Embodiment is demonstrated.

  The information processing terminal 12 performs the same processing as the processing from step S101 to step S102 in FIG. 2 as in the above embodiment. Further, the processing from step S202 to step S206 in FIG. 3 is performed. Thereafter, the output unit 104 outputs the usage information acquired in step S206.

  If the destination designation information is not received in the process of step S101, the information processing terminal 12 performs the processes of step S106 to step S107.

  If the point dynamic information is not received in step S106, the request transmission unit 131 determines whether to transmit the point transmission request information. For example, it is determined whether or not a previously designated operation as described above has been performed on the information processing terminal 12, and when the operation has been performed, it is determined that the point transmission request information is to be transmitted. Or it is judged whether the instruction | indication which transmits point transmission request information from a user was received, and when it receives, it will be judged that point transmission request information is transmitted.

  If it is determined that the point transmission request information is to be transmitted, the request transmission unit 131 transmits the point transmission request information to the information input device 32. Then, the process returns to step S101.

  Next, an example of the operation of the information input device 32 of this embodiment will be described.

  The request receiving unit 320 determines whether or not the point transmission request information has been received from the information processing terminal 12, and if received, information indicating the information processing terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the point transmission request information, for example, address information or the like. , Accumulated in a storage unit (not shown). Further, the point dynamic information reception unit 301 determines whether or not the point dynamic information has been received. If the point dynamic information reception unit 301 receives the point dynamic information, the point dynamic information transmission unit 322 transmits the point transmission from the information such as the address information accumulated above. Information indicating the information processing terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the request information is acquired, and the received point dynamic information is transmitted. The information indicating the information processing terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the point transmission request information may be deleted after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  Similar to the point time information acquisition unit 204, the point time information acquisition unit 124 uses the destination designation information and the like to acquire the point related information from the point related information management table as shown in FIG.

  In addition, the time information acquisition unit 125 acquires point time information that is a predicted arrival time.

  And the utilization information acquisition part 126 acquires utilization information using the acquired point relevant information and point time information. The usage information acquisition unit 126 accumulates the point information included in the acquired usage information, here, for example, “ABC restaurant” in a storage unit (not shown).

  In the output unit 127, the usage information acquisition unit 126 outputs the usage information. For example, the output unit 127 displays usage information as shown in FIG.

The point transmission destination information management table has items of “point” and “transmission destination”. “Point” is point information, and here, for example, is the name of the point. “Transmission destination” is transmission destination information, and here, for example, is the IP address of the information input device 32.

  Here, it is assumed that a user using the information processing terminal 12 performs an operation for setting a destination on the information processing terminal 12. If the operation for setting the destination is designated in advance for the operation for determining the transmission of the point transmission request information, the request transmission unit 131 determines that it is the timing for transmitting the point transmission request information. Then, the request transmission unit 107 reads “ABC restaurant” that is point information included in the usage information accumulated in the storage unit (not shown). Then, the request transmission unit 107 searches the point transmission destination information management table shown in FIG. 11 for a record (row) in which the attribute value of “point” matches the point information “ABC restaurant” read out above. “152.132.xxx.xxx” that is the attribute value of “transmission destination” of the detected record is acquired as transmission destination information. Then, the request transmission unit 107 transmits the point transmission request information to the information input device 32 that is the transmission destination indicated by the transmission destination information.

  The information input device 32 corresponding to the point information “ABC restaurant” that has received the point transmission request information does not show the information indicating the information processing terminal 12 that has transmitted the point transmission request information, here the IP address of the information processing terminal 12 is not shown. Accumulate in storage.

  For example, if the point dynamic information receiving unit 301 of the information input device 32 of the ABC restaurant receives point dynamic information “ABC restaurant: vacant seat” as in the above specific example, the point dynamic information transmitting unit 322 reads an IP address that is information indicating each of one or more information processing terminals 12 that have transmitted the point transmission request information stored in a storage unit (not shown), and reads the information processing terminal 12 indicated by the read IP address. , The above point dynamic information is transmitted.

  When the dynamic receiving unit 128 of the information processing terminal 12 receives the point dynamic information from the information input device 32, the dynamic output unit 129 displays the received point dynamic information on a monitor or the like as in FIG. .

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the information processing terminal 12 alone can acquire and output usage information, and can easily check whether or not a point related to the destination is available. It becomes possible. In addition, for example, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not a point related to the destination is available even in a situation where a network or the like cannot be used.
