In the following embodiments, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

(First embodiment)
[1. Information processing apparatus 10]
First, the information processing apparatus 10 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an outline of processing executed by the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment.

  The information processing apparatus 10 is an information processing apparatus such as a server that transmits and receives various types of information to and from the vehicle 50 via the Internet or the like. Note that the information processing apparatus 10 does not have to be a single information processing apparatus, and may be realized by a plurality of information processing apparatuses such as a cloud system operating in cooperation.

  The vehicle 50 is a vehicle such as a car or a motorcycle operated by a user. The vehicle 50 includes a terminal device 100 (hereinafter referred to as a terminal 100) that can communicate with the information processing device 10, and transmits information indicating the position of the vehicle 50 to the information processing device 10. Here, the terminal 100 may be a terminal device used by a user of the vehicle 50. As the terminal 100, an arbitrary information processing device such as a tablet terminal, a PC, a PDA, a smartphone, or a car navigation device mounted on a vehicle is applied. Further, the terminal 100 can be a wireless communication network such as 3G (Generation), 4G, LTE (Long Term Evolution), GSM (registered trademark) (Global System for Mobile Communications), Bluetooth (registered trademark), wireless LAN, or the like. It is possible to communicate with the information processing apparatus 10 by connecting to the network N via distance wireless communication.

  Further, the terminal 100 can perform a user guidance process. For example, when the destination is designated by the user, the terminal 100 transmits the designated destination and the current location to the navigation server that performs route search. When the terminal 100 receives a route from the departure point to the destination from the navigation server, the terminal 100 displays the received route, and informs the user to the destination by notifying the traveling direction by screen display or voice guidance. To do. Further, even when the destination is not set, the terminal 100 measures the position of the device itself, acquires map information around the measured position from the navigation server, and displays the acquired map information together with the current position. And guide the user.

  Here, when the vehicle 50 is involved in a traffic jam, the user of the vehicle 50 may not be able to receive a product or a service such as food, beverages, or sanitary goods. Therefore, the terminal 100 transmits position information indicating the current position of the terminal 100 to the information processing apparatus 10 by an operation from the user. In addition, the terminal 100 transmits route information indicating the route 51 from the departure point 40 to the destination 41 to the information processing apparatus 10.

  When the information processing apparatus 10 receives position information and route information from the terminal 100, the information processing apparatus 10 estimates the position of the terminal 100 when a predetermined time has elapsed. Then, the information processing apparatus 10 determines the transaction target provided for the user of the terminal 100 after a predetermined time or the transaction target provision mode according to the estimated position (hereinafter referred to as a predicted position). select. That is, the information processing apparatus 10 selects a product or service provided after a predetermined time and a method of providing the product or service according to the predicted position after the predetermined time.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 50 is a vehicle scheduled to travel on a route 51 from the departure point 40 to the destination 41 by the guidance process. Further, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the vehicle 50 is approaching a traffic congestion area 52 indicated by a thick line on the route. Further, it is assumed that the stores 42 to 44 exist around the route 51.

  On the other hand, the information processing apparatus 10 stores a store database 15 in which a store ID, position information, product information, provision time, and delivery information are associated. Here, the store ID is an identifier for identifying a store that provides a product or service. The position information is information indicating the position of the store. The product information is information for identifying a transaction object such as the name of a product or service. The provision time is the time required for preparation until the transaction target indicated by the associated product information is provided. The delivery information is information indicating whether or not the transaction target indicated by the associated product information can be delivered. In the following description, it is assumed that the store ID of the store 42 is “ID0003”, the store ID of the store 43 is “ID0002”, and the store ID of the store 44 is “ID0001”.

  In such a case, the terminal 100 displays a screen that allows the user to select the type of product such as a hamburger, noodles, or Italian food. The display and selection of the type of product may be based on a category such as “hamburger” or an individual product such as “▽▽ cheeseburger”. For example, when the user selects a product type, for example, “hamburger”, the terminal device 100 sends type information indicating the product type, position information of the terminal 100, and route information to the information processing device 10. Transmit (step S1). In addition, the terminal 100 transmits speed information indicating the moving speed of the terminal 100, that is, the speed of the vehicle 50, to the information processing apparatus 10. In such a case, the information processing apparatus 10 estimates a predicted position after a plurality of predetermined times from the current position indicated by the position information, the route indicated by the route information, the speed indicated by the speed information, and the congestion information on the route (step). S2).

  For example, the information processing apparatus 10 collects the traffic jam information of the route indicated by the route information from VICS (registered trademark) (Vehicle Information and Communication System), that is, the position and length of the traffic jam area 52, and the position of the vehicle 50 is jammed. When overlapping with the area 52, the vehicle 50 is predicted to move at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Note that the information processing apparatus 10 may specify the position of the vehicle 50 after a predetermined time by using any prediction technique other than the above-described processing.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10 selects a mode of commercial transaction based on the calculated predicted position (step S3). For example, the information processing apparatus 10 extracts, from the store database 15, various types of information associated with product information indicating products of the type indicated by the type information received from the terminal device 100. If a detailed example is demonstrated, when the classification information received from the terminal device 100 will show a hamburger (for example, value "C"), as shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 10 will show merchandise information "C1" (for example, Each piece of information associated with product information “C2” (for example, ▽▽ cheeseburger) and product information “C3” (for example, □□ Teriyaki burger) is extracted from the store database 15.

  And the information processing apparatus 10 performs the following processes using the information extracted from the store database 15. First, the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether or not the time when the vehicle 50 arrives at the calculated predicted position is later than the time when the transaction target is provided at the predicted position by a store located in the vicinity of the predicted position. Then, the information processing apparatus 10 provides such a product when the time when the vehicle 50 arrives at the calculated predicted position is later than the time when the transaction target is provided at the predicted position by a store located near the predicted position. Make it possible.

  For example, the information processing apparatus 10 calculates the predicted position 53 of the vehicle 50 after 10 minutes. Then, the information processing apparatus 10 specifies a store, for example, a store 42, located in a predetermined area from the predicted position 53 from the position information registered in the store database 15.

  The information processing apparatus 10 determines that the product “C3” can be prepared in “5 minutes” at the store 42. In addition, since the delivery information of the product “C3” is “possible”, the information processing apparatus 10 calculates the delivery time by a motorcycle or a bicycle from the position of the store 42 to the predicted position 53, and provides the calculated delivery time and provision Calculate the sum with time. For example, when the delivery time is “3 minutes”, the information processing apparatus 10 calculates the sum “8 minutes” of the delivery time and the provision time. In this case, the information processing apparatus 10 can provide the product “C3” because the sum “8 minutes” of the delivery time and the provision time calculated than the time “10 minutes” for the vehicle 50 to reach the predicted position 53 is shorter. Select as a product and select “Delivery” as the provision mode.

  Further, the information processing apparatus 10 performs the same processing for the predicted position 54 after 15 minutes and the predicted position 55 after 30 minutes. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 10 has a store 43 in the vicinity of the predicted position 54. However, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the time for the store 43 to prepare the product “C2” is “20 minutes”, which is longer than the time “15 minutes” until the vehicle 50 reaches the predicted position. "Is not a product that can be provided.

  Further, the information processing apparatus 10 determines that the store 44 exists in the vicinity of the predicted position 55 and the time for the store 44 to prepare the product “C1” is “25 minutes”. In this case, since the time until the store 44 provides the product “C1” at the predicted position 55 is shorter than the time until the vehicle 50 reaches the predicted position 55, the information processing apparatus 10 The product “C1” is selected as a product that can be provided, and “store delivery” is selected as the providing mode. When the time for transporting the product from the store 44 to the predicted position 55 is, for example, 3 minutes, the information processing apparatus 10 sets the time until the store 44 provides the product “C1” at the predicted position 55 to “28”. The determination may be made as “minute”.

  Further, the information processing apparatus 10 notifies the terminal 100 of the product and the provision mode determined as described above as candidates for the provision target (Step S4). For example, when there is at least one offerable product selected from the type of product selected by the user, the information processing apparatus 10 predicts the offerable product, the selected provision mode, and the provisionable product. Notify location and time. In such a case, the terminal 100 displays the notified candidate for provision in a menu format. For example, the terminal 100 displays the selected product, the provision mode, the predicted position, and the time in a menu format on the screen.

  In addition, when the user selects a product desired to be provided from the notified available products, the information processing apparatus 10 automatically orders the product. For example, the information processing apparatus 10 orders the store 42 to deliver the product “C3” to the predicted position 53 when the available product “C3” is selected. Further, when there is only one product that can be provided, the information processing apparatus 10 may directly place an order without the user's selection and transmit a notification of the product that can be provided to the information processing apparatus 10.

  In addition, when the store 42 is a store facing the route 51, the information processing apparatus 10 may select a providing mode to receive directly without performing delivery. Specifically, when the store 42 faces the route 51, the information processing apparatus 10 selects a possible store delivery providing mode. Here, the store delivery is a store facing the road, and the driver who gets off the vehicle 50 may receive the product from the store clerk at the store, and the store clerk comes out to the roadway and delivers it to the driving vehicle of the vehicle 50. But you can. The store delivery includes a mode in which the driver leaves the store after eating the product delivered at the store. In this case, the information processing apparatus 10 calculates the time until the product is provided with the delivery time to the predicted position 53 as “0 minutes”, and the calculated time is longer than the time until the vehicle 50 reaches the predicted position 53. It may be determined whether or not is shorter. Further, the information processing apparatus 10 may select the provision mode according to whether or not the product is a product that can be delivered to the store as an attribute of the product. For example, the information processing apparatus 10 may determine that a product whose type is a hamburger is a product that can be delivered to a store.

  In addition, when there are a plurality of stores that can provide the same product, the information processing apparatus 10 may extract the plurality of stores and select a store that provides the product from the stores. For example, when the user selects the product type “hamburger”, the information processing apparatus 10 uses a terminal when there are a plurality of “XX Burger” stores and “▽▽ Burger” stores. A screen for selecting either “XX Burger” or “▽▽ Burger” is displayed on 100. For example, when the user selects “XX Burger”, the information processing apparatus 10 extracts the store of “XX Burger”, and among the extracted stores, the store that can provide the earliest available product May be selected. In addition, when the predicted position where the selected store provides a product that can be provided is the predicted position 53, the information processing apparatus 10 displays information such as “Please receive the product with the XX burger at the predicted position 53” on the terminal 100. May be displayed.

  The process executed by the terminal 100 is realized by, for example, specifying the position of the vehicle 50 acquired using a camera or a GPS (Global Positioning System) and transmitting the specified position information to the information processing apparatus 10. May be.

[2. Functional configuration of information processing apparatus 10]
Next, an example of a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 that realizes the above-described processing will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 10 includes a communication unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a control unit 13. The storage unit 12 stores a road situation database 14 and a store database 15.

  The communication unit 11 is realized by, for example, a NIC (Network Interface Card). In addition, the communication unit 11 controls communication between the terminals 100 and 101 and the information processing apparatus 10 by wired or wireless communication via the network N. The terminal 100 is, for example, a terminal device installed in the vehicle 50, and the terminal device 101 is a terminal device installed in a store. The terminal device 101 may be, for example, a POS (point of sale) system installed in a store. The information processing apparatus 10 communicates with a terminal apparatus similar to the terminals 100 and 101 via the network N.

  The storage unit 12 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk.

  The road condition database 14 is a database that stores road conditions acquired from VICS or the like. For example, in the road situation database 14, information such as which length of traffic jam has occurred on which road, average moving speed on each road, and the like are registered.

  In the store database 15, the location of a store providing a transaction target, the transaction target provided by the store, the provision time of the transaction target, information on whether or not the transaction target can be delivered, and the like are registered. For example, it is assumed that the information illustrated in FIG. 1 is registered in the store database 15.

  The control unit 13 is realized, for example, by executing various programs stored in a storage device inside the information processing apparatus 10 using the RAM as a work area by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or the like. Is done. The control unit 13 is realized by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 13 includes a collection unit 16, an estimation unit 17, a selection unit 18, a notification unit 19, and an order unit 20 by executing various programs.

[3. Operation and Action of Information Processing Device 10]
The operation of the information processing apparatus 10 configured as described above will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing executed by the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment.

  First, the collection unit 16 collects road conditions such as traffic jam information from a road traffic system such as VICS, and registers the collected road conditions in the road condition database 14 (step S101). The collection unit 16 collects position information as probe data from the terminal 100, analyzes the collected position information in time series, and uses the analysis result and map information to calculate a traffic jam and an average moving speed of each road. May be.

  Subsequently, when receiving a distribution request including type information, position information, and route information from the terminal 100, the estimation unit 17 extracts type information, position information, and route information from the distribution request (step S102). And the estimation part 17 specifies the road condition in the path | route 51 of the terminal 100 using the position which the extracted positional information shows, the path | route which the extracted path | route information shows, and the road condition registered into the road condition database (step). S103). For example, the estimation unit 17 extracts traffic congestion information of roads included in the route on the destination side with respect to the position indicated by the position information, among the routes indicated by the route information.

  Moreover, the estimation part 17 estimates a user's position when predetermined time passes (step S104). Specifically, the estimation unit 17 determines whether or not a predetermined time later based on at least one of the current position of the terminal 100, the destination of the terminal 100, the moving speed of the terminal 100, and the route indicated by the route information received from the terminal 100. Estimate the user's location. In addition, the estimation unit 17 estimates the predicted position of the terminal 100 when predetermined times that are different in stages have elapsed.

  For example, the estimation unit 17 uses the user's position and the traffic jam information on the route 51 from the position of the terminal 100 to the destination or the route indicated by the route information, after 10 minutes on the route, 15 minutes Then, the position of the terminal 100 after 30 minutes is estimated. In this estimation process, for example, a predicted position after a predetermined time when the terminal 100 is included in the traffic congestion area 52 is estimated from the predicted moving speed of the traffic congestion area 52 in the route 51, and the traffic congestion area in the route 51 is determined. The predicted position after a predetermined time when the terminal 100 is not included in the traffic jam area may be estimated from the predicted moving speed of the route 51 other than 52.

  The estimation unit 17 may estimate a predicted position until the vehicle 50 exits the traffic jam area 52. Further, the estimation unit 17 acquires the positions of the departure point 40 and the destination 41 of the vehicle 50, estimates the movement route of the vehicle 50 from the acquired departure point 40 and the destination 41, and based on the estimated movement route. Thus, the predicted position may be specified. Moreover, the estimation part 17 may estimate the prediction position (for example, prediction position every 5 minutes) in a predetermined time interval. That is, the information processing apparatus 10 estimates a predicted position after a plurality of predetermined times using at least one of the position, destination, moving speed, and moving path of the vehicle 50.

  The selection unit 18 selects at least one of a transaction target provided to the user of the terminal 100 after a predetermined time or a transaction target providing mode according to the position estimated by the estimation unit 17. Specifically, the selection unit 18 selects a transaction target or a provision mode for each user position estimated by the estimation unit 17 for a plurality of predetermined times.

  Specifically, the selection unit 18 extracts, from the store database 15, various information associated with the product information indicating the type of product indicated by the type information extracted by the extraction unit 17. And the selection part 18 performs the following processes using the various information extracted from the store database 15. FIG. First, the selection unit 18 acquires a predicted position after each predetermined time estimated by the estimation unit 17. In such a case, the selection unit 18 extracts a store at a position that satisfies the predicted position and the predetermined condition from the store database 15 at predetermined time intervals (step S105). For example, the selection unit 18 extracts all sets of stores and products located within a predetermined area from the predicted position.

  Here, when executing the process of extracting a store, the selection unit 18 changes an extraction target region between a store that performs delivery and a store that does not perform delivery. For example, the information processing apparatus 10 identifies stores in an area where the distance to the predicted position can be delivered within 10 minutes by bike, bicycle, etc., and among the identified stores, products for which delivery information is “possible” Extract. That is, the information processing apparatus 10 extracts a product that can be delivered to the predicted position and a store that provides the product. Further, the information processing apparatus 10 searches for stores in an area where the distance to the predicted position can be delivered within 3 minutes on foot, and identifies all the products provided by the searched stores. That is, the information processing apparatus 10 extracts a product that can be delivered at the predicted position and a store that provides the product.

  Next, the selection unit 18 selects a transaction target or a transaction target provision mode that can be provided to the user of the terminal 100 after a predetermined time. Specifically, the selection unit 18 has the sum of the provision time and the delivery time to the predicted position among the extracted products of the store shorter than the predicted time which is a predetermined time for the terminal 100 to arrive at the predicted position. A product is selected (step S106).

  During such processing, the selection unit 18 includes, in the selection target, a provision mode in which the transaction target is delivered to a predicted position after a predetermined time. Moreover, the selection part 18 selects the store which delivers transaction object based on the prediction position after predetermined time.

  For example, the selection unit 18 specifies the supply time of the specified product from the store database 15. Here, when the delivery information of the specified product is “impossible”, the selection unit 18 determines whether or not the store position faces the corresponding predicted position. And the selection part 18 determines whether provision time is shorter than prediction time, when the position of a store faces the corresponding prediction position, and when provision time is shorter than prediction time, it specifies. The selected product is selected as an available product. In such a case, the selection unit 18 selects “store delivery” as the provision mode. On the other hand, when the delivery information of the specified product is “impossible” and the position of the store does not face the corresponding predicted position, the selection unit 18 determines that the specified product is not a product that can be provided. .

  In addition, when the delivery information of the specified product is “possible”, the selection unit 18 calculates the delivery time from the store to the predicted position, and the sum of the calculated delivery time and the provision time is shorter than the predicted time. It is determined whether or not. If the sum of the delivery time and the provision time is shorter than the predicted time, the selection unit 18 determines that the specified product is a product that can be provided, and selects “delivery” as the provision mode for the product. .

  Further, when the delivery information of the specified product is “possible”, the selection unit 18 determines whether the store position faces the corresponding predicted position. And the selection part 18 determines whether the provision time of the specified goods is shorter than prediction time, when the position of a store faces the corresponding prediction position, and when short, the specified goods are determined. It determines with it being a product which can be provided, and selects "store delivery" as a provision aspect about this product.

  That is, the selection unit 18 selects all combinations of products and provision modes that can be provided before the vehicle 50 arrives at each predicted position.

  The notification unit 19 distributes the transaction mode notification indicating the product selected by the selection unit 18 and the provision mode of the product to the terminal 100 (step S107). For example, the notification unit 19 creates a list in which the prediction time and the prediction position are associated with each pair of the product selected by the selection unit 18 from the type of product selected by the user and the provision mode of the product. . And the notification part 19 delivers the transaction mode notification containing the produced list to the terminal 100, and displays it.

  In such a case, the terminal 100 displays the received transaction mode notification and accepts a selection of a set of a product and a product providing mode from the user. When the user selects a combination of a product and a product provision mode, the terminal 100 transmits an order request indicating the selected set to the information processing apparatus 10.

  On the other hand, the ordering unit 20 determines whether an order request is received from the terminal 100 (step S108). And when the order part 20 receives an order request (step S108: Yes), order information including the combination of the goods and mode condition which an order request shows is shown with respect to the terminal device 101 of the store which provides such goods. (Step S109). In addition, when such a situation is delivery or store delivery, etc., it is necessary for delivery or store delivery, such as information indicating the predicted position as a delivery destination or store delivery location, the name of the user of the terminal 100, etc. Information. As a result, the store clerk using the terminal device 101 can prepare the product and provide the product and the like without waiting time at the predicted position. In addition, the order request includes a notification when a plurality of stores providing the available product is selected. On the other hand, the order part 20 skips step S109, when not receiving an order request (step S108: No).

[4. Modified example]
The information processing apparatus 10 according to the above-described embodiment may be implemented in various different forms other than the above-described embodiment. Therefore, in the following, another embodiment of the information processing apparatus 10 will be described.

[4-1. Information provision at the time of delivery]
The information processing apparatus 10 described above may notify a user of information on a moving body that delivers a product when the product is provided in a delivery manner by delivery. For example, when the order unit 20 delivers the order information, the notification unit 19 determines whether or not the state of the situation included in the order information is a delivery. Information on moving bodies such as motorcycles, bicycles, and drones that can fly (Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV)). And the notification part 19 specifies the position of the specified mobile body using GPS etc., and notifies the terminal 100 of the information which shows the specified position. Note that the notification unit 19 may notify the terminal 100 of information for facilitating delivery of the delivered product, such as a license plate number, a vehicle type, and a photograph of the moving body, as the moving body information.

  On the other hand, the notification unit 19 may notify the information of the user who receives the product to the mobile body that delivers the product. For example, the notification unit 19 identifies a terminal device used by a store clerk who delivers a product, such as a terminal device installed in a mobile body that delivers the product, or the terminal device 101. The notification unit 19 may specify the position of the terminal 100 using GPS or the like, and distribute the specified position to a terminal device or the like used by a store clerk. In addition to the position of the terminal 100, the notification unit 19 may distribute information such as the vehicle type of the vehicle 50 in which the terminal 100 is installed, the number of the license plate, the photograph and color of the vehicle 50, and the name of the user.

[4-2. About selected orders]
For example, the selection unit 18 selects a product with the earliest available time from among products that can be provided at each estimated position before the time at which the user reaches each estimated position. Also good.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the estimation unit 17 estimates the predicted positions 53 to 55 for each predicted time after 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes. In this case, the selection unit 18 specifies the store 42 included in the predetermined range from the predicted position 53, the store 43 included in the predetermined range from the predicted position 54, and the store 44 included in the predetermined range from the predicted position 55. . Subsequently, the selection unit 18 calculates the time until the product can be provided at the predicted positions 53 to 55 for each product and transaction mode provided by each store 42 to 44, and the calculated time is calculated for each predicted position 53 to 55. A product and a transaction mode shorter than the predicted time corresponding to are identified.

  As a result, the selection unit 18 determines that the store 42 can provide the product “C3” by the transaction mode “delivery” at the predicted position 53, and the store 44 sets the product “C1” at the predicted position 55 and the transaction mode “store delivery”. It is determined that it can be provided. Here, in addition to the store 42, if there is a store A that can deliver the product to the predicted position 53 before the vehicle 50 arrives at the predicted position 53, the selecting unit 18 will receive the product delivered by the store A. Also select as a product that can be provided.

  And the selection part 18 specifies the goods and provision aspect with the shortest time until provision among the goods and the provision aspect which were determined that it can provide. For example, in the selection unit 18, the time until the store 42 delivers the product “C3” to the predicted position 53 is longer than the time until the store 44 provides the product “C1” by delivery at the predicted position 55. Judge as short. Further, the selection unit 18 determines whether or not the time until the store 42 delivers the product “C3” to the predicted position 53 is shorter than the time until the store A delivers the product to the predicted position 53. Then, when the time until the store 42 delivers the product “C3” to the predicted position 53 is short, the selection unit 18 selects the product “C3” and the provision mode “delivery” by the store 42. In such a case, the notification unit 19 distributes a transaction mode notification indicating that the product “C3” is provided by the transaction mode “delivery” at the predicted position 53 to the terminal 100 and causes the terminal 100 to display the transaction mode notification.

[4-3. About estimation of allowable time]
In the above-described example, the information processing apparatus 10 specifies a product and a transaction mode that can be provided before the predicted time at each predicted position. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the information processing apparatus 10 may provide a product and a transaction mode that can be provided until a time designated by the user of the terminal 100 (hereinafter referred to as a maximum predetermined time) elapses.

  For example, when receiving a distribution request including the maximum predetermined time from the user's terminal 100, the estimation unit 17 estimates the position of the terminal 100 until the maximum predetermined time elapses. And the selection part 18 selects the goods and provision aspect which can be provided by the position which the estimation part 17 estimated until the maximum predetermined time passes. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, when the maximum predetermined time is 20 minutes, the estimation unit 17 estimates the predicted position 53 and the predicted position 54. Further, the selection unit 18 determines that the store 42 can provide the product “C3” at the predicted position 53 by the transaction mode “delivery”, and the store 43 receives the product “C2” at the predicted position 54 by the transaction mode “store delivery”. It is determined that it cannot be provided.

  As a result, the selection unit 18 selects the product “C3” and the transaction mode “delivery” by the store 42. As a result, the information processing apparatus 10 can select a product and a transaction mode that can be provided before the maximum predetermined time elapses.

The information processing apparatus 10 re-estimates the predicted position of the terminal 100 at a predetermined time interval, and when there is a difference between the previously estimated position and the re-estimated predicted position, Other products may be recommended. For example, the information processing apparatus 10 has made an order to receive the product “C1” provided by the store 44 after 30 minutes at the predicted position 55, but the predicted position after 30 minutes of the vehicle 50 is greater than the predicted position 55. If the predetermined distance is left, the product may be canceled.

  For example, when the predicted position 30 minutes after the vehicle 50 is in front of the predicted position 55, the information processing apparatus 10 calculates the time until the vehicle 50 arrives at the predicted position 55, and calculates the calculated time. May notify the terminal device of the store 44 to provide the product “C1”. Moreover, when the product is canceled, the information processing apparatus 10 may select a product or a transaction mode that can be newly provided by executing the above-described process again.

  In addition, the information processing apparatus 10 predicts the vehicle 50 when the store 42 cannot deliver the product until the vehicle 50 arrives at the predicted position 53 as a result of the time until the vehicle 50 reaches the predicted position 53 being accelerated. Other products that can be provided until the position 52 is reached, or products provided by other stores may be selected, and such products may be recommended. In addition, for example, when the vehicle 50 cannot reach the predicted position before the product “C1” is provided, the information processing apparatus 10 identifies the vehicle predicted to arrive at the predicted position 55 when the product “C1” is provided, A recommendation may be made to the effect that the specified vehicle “C1” can be received by the specified vehicle.

[4-5. About payment]
The information processing apparatus 10 may mediate payment by electronic money in the above-described merchandise transaction. For example, when the user of the terminal 100 places an order to receive the product “C3” of the store 42 at the predicted position 53 by delivery, the information processing apparatus 10 has an electronic money account that the user of the terminal 100 has. To the electronic money account of the store 42 may be transferred to the product price of the product “C3”.

[4-6. About device configuration]

(Second Embodiment)
[1. Information processing apparatus 10a]
In the example described above, the information processing apparatus 10 has selected the transaction target and transaction mode provided by the store at each predicted position. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the information processing apparatus 10 may regard the traffic jam area 52 as a virtual online shopping mall and mediate commercial transactions between users located in the traffic jam area 52.

  Specifically, the information processing apparatus 10a extracts a region where a traffic jam or a predetermined traffic situation in which the moving speed is slower than a predetermined threshold occurs. Then, the information processing apparatus 10a may mediate transactions between users located in the extracted area. In addition, the information processing apparatus 10a may select the provision of the transaction target in the mediated transaction according to the position of the user who mediated the transaction.

  For example, FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating another example of processing executed by the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment according to the second embodiment. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, it is assumed that a plurality of vehicles 50 and 53 to 56 exist in the traffic jam area 52 and stores 43 and 44 exist around the traffic jam area. In addition, it is assumed that each vehicle 50, 53 to 56 and each store 43, 44 are provided with a terminal device capable of transmitting and receiving various types of information to and from the information processing device 10a.

  For example, the information processing apparatus 10a collects information on the traffic jam area 52 from VICS or the like. Then, the information processing apparatus 10a collects transaction information, which is information about a transaction, from a plurality of vehicles 50 and 53 to 56 included in the traffic jam area 52 and terminal devices installed in the stores 43 and 44 (step S1). ). Then, the information processing device 10a collects transaction information from the terminal devices included in the traffic jam area 52, and generates the mediation database 15a shown in FIG. 1 (step S2).

  Here, terminal ID, position information, product information, attribute information, and bid information are associated and registered in the mediation database 15a. The terminal ID is an identifier that identifies a terminal device that is a transmission source of transaction information. The position information is information indicating the position of the terminal device that is the transmission source of the transaction information. The product information is information on a product to be traded. Here, it is assumed that the product information includes service information that can be used for commercial transactions. The attribute information is information indicating the attribute of the vehicle in which the terminal device that is the transmission source of the transaction information is installed. For example, “children present” indicating that a child is on the vehicle, or the terminal device “Male” indicating the gender of the user who uses is registered. The bid information is information indicating a price for the product indicated by the product information.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10a considers the traffic jam area 52 as a virtual shopping street and mediates commercial transactions based on the product information registered in the mediation database 15a (step S3). For example, the information processing apparatus 10a distributes the product information registered in the mediation database 15a to each terminal device indicated by the terminal ID registered in the mediation database 15a. Then, the information processing apparatus 10a mediates commercial transactions such as purchase and sale of goods between terminal devices indicated by the terminal IDs registered in the broker database 15a, and auctions.

For example, the information processing apparatus 10a specifies the positions of an exhibitor who is a user who has exhibited a product to be traded and a successful bidder who is a user who has made a successful bid for the product to be traded from the mediation database 15a. Next, the information processing apparatus 10a selects a means for carrying the transaction object from the seller to the winning bidder based on the seller's position and the winning bidder's position. Here, as means for transporting the transaction object, any means such as bringing goods from the exhibitor to the winning bidder, receiving the goods that the winning bidder goes to the seller's position, consignment to a transport agent such as a messenger, etc. Can be applied.

  Further, the information processing apparatus 10a notifies the exhibitor and the successful bidder of the selected transaction mode. In addition, the information processing apparatus 10a notifies the mobile body serving as a transport agent such as a messenger of information such as an exhibitor, a successful bidder, and a product, and also operates the messenger and the like to the successful bidder and the exhibitor. Notify that the agent will go to bring or accept the product.

[2. Information distributed by information processing apparatus 10a]
The information processing apparatus 10a may select a transaction mode in a commercial transaction to be brokered and distribute the selected transaction mode as a recommendation. For example, when the terminal ID “ID0001” is associated with the attribute information “children's”, the information processing apparatus 10a determines diapers, baby food, character goods, toys, etc. from the product information registered in the mediation database 15a. Search for products for children. When the information processing device 10a detects a product for children, the information processing device 10a may distribute information on the detected product for children to the terminal ID “ID0001”.

  Further, the information processing apparatus 10a may distribute advertisements and coupons according to attribute information as well as recommendations for products registered in the mediation database 15a. For example, when the attribute information of the terminal ID “ID0003” is “male”, the information processing apparatus 10a selects a restaurant for men from the stores 43 and 44, and distributes advertisements and coupons of the selected restaurant. May be. In addition, the information processing apparatus 10a performs processing similar to that of the information processing apparatus 10 to select food and drink that can be provided at the predicted position after a predetermined time, and to the terminal device indicated by the terminal ID “ID0003”. The selection result may be notified.

In addition, in order to perform this process, it is assumed that an application that transmits position information and transaction information to the information processing apparatus 10a is installed in the terminal device.

  The mediation unit 18a mediates transactions between users in the traffic jam area 52 based on the transaction information (step S204). For example, the intermediary unit 18a mediates commercial transactions between users in the traffic jam area 52 using conventional electronic commerce technology or Internet auction technology. Further, the mediation unit 18a performs various charging processes according to the established commercial transaction.

  The selection part 19a selects the provision aspect of the transaction object in the completed transaction (step S205). For example, the selection unit 19a identifies the position of the seller's terminal device and the position of the successful bidder's terminal device, and selects the movement mode from the seller's terminal device to the position of the successful bidder's terminal device. To describe a detailed example, the selection unit 19a selects a provision mode in which a transaction object is directly transferred between users when the position of the terminal device of the successful bidder is shorter than a predetermined distance from the terminal device of the exhibitor. May be.

  In addition, when the position of the successful bidder's terminal device is longer than a predetermined distance from the seller's terminal device, the selection unit 19a determines the position of the seller's terminal device and the successful bidder with respect to the mobile object that carries the transaction object. May be instructed to convey the transaction object from the exhibitor to the successful bidder. As such a moving body, for example, any transportation method such as a motorcycle flight, a messenger service by bicycle or on foot, or a drone is applicable.

  Moreover, the selection part 19a searches the goods used as recommendation object, ie, the merchandise information which matches attribute information, for every terminal ID registered into the mediation database 15a according to matched attribute information. And the selection part 19a may notify the merchandise information used as a search result with respect to the terminal device which terminal ID used as a process target shows. In addition, the selection unit 19a uses the position information registered in the mediation database 15a to provide a provision mode such as a product exhibited by another user or store within an area shorter than a predetermined distance, a method for transporting the product, and the like. You may make recommendations. That is, the selection unit 19a can select and recommend a product or a provision mode to be recommended for each terminal device based on position information or attribute information associated with each terminal ID.

  Note that the information processing apparatus 10a illustrated in FIG. 5 can appropriately apply the functions of the information processing apparatus 10 within a consistent range. In addition, the information processing apparatus 10 a can apply the above-described modification examples as appropriate, similarly to the information processing apparatus 10.
