(First embodiment)
An information processing system 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment is for users who carry mobile terminals (smart phones, mobile phones, tablet terminals, etc.) and use public transportation (hereinafter also simply referred to as “users”). It is a system that gives incentives.

  Here, the incentive is for causing a user of public transportation to take a certain action. For example, it is given to users who have contributed to avoiding congestion by using relatively free trains and routes in order to recommend congestion relief in public transportation. The specific mode of the incentive is not particularly limited, and may be a monetary value such as miles, points, commuter pass discounts, and coupons. When the incentive is a point, the point is, for example, a dedicated point dedicated to a product or service provided by the owner of the information processing system 1 (that is, the company), or a person other than the owner of the information processing system 1 (that is, another company) ) Points for other companies applied to products and services provided by), points that can be redeemed for points for other companies, points for prizes, etc.

  Moreover, public transport is a railway in this embodiment. Public transportation is not limited to railroads, but may be buses or the like. Here, a station means a place where public transportation stops to get on and off passengers. For example, if public transportation is a railway, it is a station, and if public transportation is a bus, a bus stop. It is.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 2 and a server 3. The terminal device 2 and the server 3 are connected to be communicable with each other via a network such as the Internet. The network may be of any type or form as long as it includes a wireless line. At least a part of the terminal device 2 and the server 3 is realized by a computer.

  The terminal device 2 is carried by a user when traveling by public transportation or other transportation means (for example, walking or bicycle), and is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the terminal device 2 includes a communication unit 21, a control unit 22, an input unit 23, an output unit 24, and a storage unit 25. First, components other than the control unit 22 among the components of the terminal device 2, that is, the communication unit 21, the input unit 23, the output unit 24, and the storage unit 25 will be described.

  The communication unit 21 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information between the control unit 22 and the server 3 via a network. The communication unit 21 can obtain a boarding history from the user's IC card or can obtain entry / exit information from an automatic ticket gate such as an NFC (Near Field Communication) function. May be provided.

  The input unit 23 is an interface for the user to input information to the terminal device 2, and may be, for example, a touch panel, a microphone, a touch pad, or a dial button in a mobile terminal.

  The output unit 24 is an interface for outputting various information from the terminal device 2 to the user, and is a video display unit such as a liquid crystal display. Specifically, the output unit 24 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for accepting an operation from the user. The output unit 24 may be a speaker that outputs various information as audio.

  The output unit 24 may not directly present information to the user. For example, the output unit 24 may output a video signal or an audio signal to a video display unit or an audio output unit connected to the outside of the terminal device 2, or data may be output to a printing device connected to the outside. May be output, or data may be output and stored in the terminal device 2 or in an external storage device.

  The storage unit 25 is a data storage such as an internal memory or an external memory (such as an SD memory card), and stores various data. The memory | storage part 25 does not necessarily need to be provided in the terminal device 2, and may be provided in another apparatus (for example, server) connected so as to be communicable with the terminal device 2 via a network.

  Next, the control unit 22 of the terminal device 2 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the control unit 22 includes a position positioning unit 221 and a user registration unit 222.

  The position positioning unit 221 measures the current position of the terminal device 2. The position positioning unit 221 measures the current position based on positioning information obtained by radio navigation means such as GPS and beacon. The position positioning unit 221 may use positioning information obtained by autonomous navigation means such as an acceleration sensor and a geomagnetic sensor for positioning. These acceleration sensors and geomagnetic sensors may be used not only for measuring the current position but also for detecting the number of steps of the user.

  The user registration unit 222 registers the reference movement information input using the input unit 23 in the storage unit 25.

  Here, the reference movement information is information serving as a reference for incentive evaluation for giving an incentive to a user. In the present embodiment, the reference movement information is information on a movement route that is a reference for incentive evaluation. For example, the reference movement information is an optimum movement path (optimum path) among movement paths from the departure place to the destination searched by the user. The optimal route includes, for example, at least one of a departure point, a transit point, a destination, a boarding station, a getting-off station, a transfer station, a route, a section from the boarding station to the getting-off station, a section to the changing station, and time information. Typically, the optimum route is a route that uses the optimum boarding station with the smallest route cost from the departure point and the optimum getting-off station with the smallest route cost to the destination. A specific example of the reference movement information other than the optimum route will be described in a later-described modification.

  The control unit 22 transmits the reference movement information registered by the user registration unit 222 to the server 3 through the communication unit 21. The server 3 may use only the reference movement information transmitted from the terminal device 2 as a reference for incentive evaluation. Alternatively, the server 3 may generate new reference movement information based on the reference movement information transmitted from the terminal device 2 and use the generated new reference movement information as a reference for incentive evaluation. Alternatively, the server 3 uses both the reference movement information transmitted from the terminal apparatus 2 and the new reference movement information generated based on the reference movement information transmission transmitted from the terminal apparatus 2 as the criteria for incentive evaluation. It may be used.

  Further, the control unit 22 transmits the current position measured by the position positioning unit 221 to the server 3 through the communication unit 21. By transmitting the current position, the server 3 can acquire the evaluation target movement information based on the current position. Note that the control unit 22 (terminal device 2) is not limited to simply transmitting the travel log to the server 3, but identifies the point information such as the departure place and the destination by analyzing the travel log by itself. The point information may be transmitted to the server 3.

  Here, the evaluation target movement information is information to be subjected to incentive evaluation. The evaluation target movement information is information based on a movement log that is movement history information indicating the actual action of the user. The travel log includes, for example, the departure point, destination, departure information or stay information at the departure point, the route from the departure point to the destination, the traveling direction from one point, the boarding station, the getting-off station, and the boarding station to the getting-off station , The section to the transfer station, the walking distance and the number of steps to the boarding station, the walking distance and the number of steps to the getting-off station, etc. The evaluation target movement information may be composed of a single movement log, or may be information obtained by combining a plurality of movement logs. Further, the evaluation target movement information may be information obtained by complementing or correcting the movement log with the route network information described later indicating the route of public transportation.

  Next, the server 3 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the server 3 includes a communication unit 31, a control unit 32, and a storage unit 33. Before describing the control unit 32, the communication unit 31 and the storage unit 33 will be described.

  The communication unit 31 is an interface that transmits and receives information between the terminal device 2 and the control unit 32 of the server 3 via a network. In addition, the communication part 31 may receive a user's boarding log | history from other servers, such as a server of an electric railway company.

  The storage unit 33 is a fixed data storage such as a hard disk, and stores various databases. Note that the storage unit 33 is not necessarily provided in the server 3 and may be provided in another apparatus that is communicably connected to the server 3 via a network.

  The storage unit 33 includes a route network database 331 and an incentive database 332.

  The route network database 331 is a route search database, and includes, for example, traffic network information as route network information. The traffic network information is information that defines a traffic network such as a railway or a bus or a road network. Information on the transportation network includes route information, timetable information, toll information, etc. of transportation facilities. The road network information is expressed by a combination of data of nodes (nodes) on the road network expression such as intersections and data of links that are road sections between the nodes.

  Although not shown, the storage unit 33 may include a map information database used for displaying a map, searching for a location, and the like. The map information includes map data such as road maps of the whole country or each region, and may include map object information (facility information, note information, symbol information, etc.) associated with the map data. In addition, the storage unit 73 may include a POI (Point Of Interest) information database used for point search, point setting of route search conditions, and the like. The POI information includes location information, name information, and the like.

  The incentive database 332 stores incentive data indicating the incentive given to the user. The incentive data may be stored in the incentive database 332 in a state in which the incentive data is associated with information such as user identification information or a shortened section of public transportation that has given the incentive. The server 3 reduces the used incentive when the incentive stored in the incentive database 332 is used for a service to which the incentive is applicable.

  Next, the control unit 32 of the server 3 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the control unit 32 includes a route search unit 321, a reference movement information acquisition unit 322 that is an example of a reference movement information acquisition unit, and evaluation target movement information acquisition that is an example of an evaluation target movement information acquisition unit. Unit 323 and an incentive provision unit 324 which is an example of an incentive provision unit. These units may be realized by a processor in the server 3 executing a predetermined program.

  The route search unit 321 acquires route search conditions such as the current position (departure point) and the destination transmitted from the terminal device 2. The route search unit 321 searches for a travel route that satisfies the route search condition based on the route network information in the route network database 331. The route search unit 321 transmits the optimum route among the searched travel routes to the terminal device 2 through the communication unit 31. The control unit 22 records the optimum route transmitted from the server 3 as a search history in the storage unit 25 of the terminal device 2. Thereby, the user can select a desired optimum route from the search history and register it as reference movement information. Here, the registration of the reference movement information is not only stored in the storage unit 25 of the terminal device 2 but also the reference movement information acquired by the server 3 from the terminal device 2 in a user database (not shown) on the server side. It may include placing.

  The reference movement information acquisition unit 322 acquires the reference movement information transmitted from the terminal device 2 from the communication unit 31. Note that the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 may generate new reference movement information based on the reference movement information acquired from the terminal device 2.

  The evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 acquires the movement log transmitted from the terminal device 2 from the communication unit 31. More specifically, the evaluation object movement information acquisition unit 323 acquires the current position for each time (time) as a movement log by sequentially acquiring the current position transmitted from the terminal device 2 every predetermined time. Note that the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 may generate a movement route connecting current positions for each time as a movement log. Further, the evaluation object movement information acquisition unit 323 may generate a movement log based on the entrance / exit information of the station recorded in the server of the electric railway company through the ticket gate. Moreover, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 may generate evaluation target movement information in which a section between the current positions indicated in the movement log is supplemented with the route network information, and at least a part of the movement log is routed. The evaluation object movement information corrected with the network information may be generated.

  The incentive provision unit 234 provides an incentive to the user when it is determined that the travel section of the public transportation included in the reference movement information is shortened based on the comparison between the evaluation target movement information and the reference movement information.

(Operation example)
Next, an operation example of the information processing system 1 in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 acquires reference movement information (step S1). FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an input screen as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. The input screen of FIG. 3 is displayed by the output unit 24 of the terminal device 2. On the input screen, a plurality of patterns can be selected as reference movement information to be registered. For example, by selecting “My route”, the optimum route searched by the user can be registered as reference movement information. In addition, by selecting “home”, “My location”, “My station”, or the like, a departure point, a destination, a waypoint, and the like can be registered as reference movement information. In addition, by selecting “Company (workplace) / school”, the destination can be registered as reference movement information. In addition, the commuter pass information can be registered as the reference movement information by selecting the “commuter pass section”. The reference movement information acquisition unit 322 acquires the reference movement information by receiving the reference movement information registered by the user registration unit 22 of the terminal device 2 in this way from the terminal device 2.

  After acquiring the reference movement information, as shown in FIG. 2, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 acquires the evaluation target movement information (step S2). Specifically, the terminal device 2 transmits the current position measured by the position positioning unit 221 from the communication unit 21 to the server 3, and the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 determines the current position transmitted from the terminal device 2. Obtained from the communication unit 31. Then, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 acquires the evaluation target movement information based on the acquired current position.

  Here, a specific example of the evaluation target movement information will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating an evaluation target moving route that uses the getting-off station before the optimum getting-off station on the optimum route as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. In the example of FIG. 4A, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 acquires, as reference movement information, the optimum route R1 searched by the user registered in the past using the “My route” on the input screen of FIG. ing. The optimum route R1 has a home as a departure point S and a workplace as a destination G. The travel section of public transportation on the optimal route R1 is a train travel section from the optimal boarding station to the optimal disembarking station.

  As illustrated in FIG. 4A, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 may acquire the evaluation target movement route R2 generated based on the movement log as the evaluation target movement information. In the example of FIG. 4A, the evaluation target movement route R2 is a route that gets on the A-line train at the optimal boarding station and gets off the A-line train at the station in front of the optimal getting-off station. In the evaluation target travel route R2 of FIG. 4A, the train travel section from the actual disembarkation station to the optimum disembarkation station is shortened as a travel section of public transportation. Note that the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 may use, as the evaluation target movement information, four points of the home, the optimum boarding station, the getting-off station before the optimum getting-off station, and the workplace instead of the evaluation target moving route R2.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating an evaluation target movement route that uses the boarding station ahead (that is, the back) of the optimum boarding station on the optimum route. The optimum route R1 in FIG. 4B is the same as that in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the evaluation object movement information acquisition unit 323 takes the A-line train at the boarding station ahead of the optimal boarding station, and gets off the A-line train at the optimal boarding station. May get. In the evaluation target travel route R2 in FIG. 4B, the train travel section from the optimal boarding station to the boarding station ahead of the optimal boarding station is shortened.

  FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating an evaluation target moving route that uses the boarding station ahead of the optimal boarding station and the boarding station in front of the optimal boarding station. The optimum route R1 in FIG. 4C is the same as that in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4C, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 gets on the A-line train at the boarding station ahead of the optimum boarding station, and gets off from the A-line train at the getting-off station before the optimum boarding station. The evaluation target travel route R2 may be acquired. In the evaluation target travel route R2 in FIG. 4C, there are a train travel section from the optimal boarding station to the boarding station ahead of the optimal boarding station, and a train travel section from the disembarking station in front of the optimal disembarking station to the optimal disembarking station. It has been shortened.

  After acquiring the evaluation object movement information as described above, as shown in FIG. 2, the incentive provision unit 324 compares the reference movement information with the evaluation object movement information (step S3).

  Then, as a result of the comparison in step S3, the incentive provision unit 324 determines whether or not the travel section of the public transportation included in the evaluation target travel information is shorter than the travel section of the public transport included in the reference travel information. Determine (step S4). That is, the incentive provision unit 324 performs incentive evaluation for giving an incentive to the user. In any case of FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C, the incentive provision unit 324 determines that the travel section of the public transportation included in the reference travel information has been shortened (step S4: Yes). To do. That is, the incentive granting unit 324 evaluates that the user actions shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C are all worthy of giving incentives. In the case of FIG. 4 (c), since the amount of shortening of the travel section of public transportation is larger than in the case of FIG. 4 (a) and FIG. 4 (b), the incentive provision unit 324 You may increase the incentive provided rather than the case of FIG.4 (b).

  When it is determined that the travel section of the public transportation has been shortened (step S4: Yes), the incentive provision unit 324 provides incentive to the user (step S5) and ends the process. For example, the incentive provision unit 324 stores user identification information and incentive data in the incentive database 332 in association with each other. On the other hand, when it is determined that the travel section of public transportation has not been shortened (step S5: No), the incentive granting unit 324 ends the process without giving an incentive to the user.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, by performing incentive evaluation of evaluation target movement information based on reference movement information, incentives can be given to users who have shortened the travel section of public transportation. Thereby, the opportunity for a user to acquire an incentive can be increased.

(First modification)
In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the optimum route R1 registered by the user is acquired as the reference movement information has been described. On the other hand, in the first modification, at least one of the departure place and the destination registered by the user is acquired as the reference movement information. A first modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first modification of the first embodiment.

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 uses at least one of the departure place and the destination registered by the user registration unit 222 of the terminal device 2 as the reference movement information. 2 is acquired through communication between the server 2 and the server 3 (step S11).

  When the departure place is acquired, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 generates and acquires the optimum boarding station for the departure place as new reference movement information based on the acquired departure place (step S12). For example, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 causes the route search unit 321 to search for a service area that can be reached within a certain time or within a certain distance from the departure place, and acquires a station that exists within the searched service area as the optimum boarding station. May be. In addition, when the destination is acquired, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 generates and acquires the optimum getting-off station as new reference movement information based on the acquired destination (step S12). For example, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 causes the route search unit 321 to search for a service area that can be reached within a certain time or a certain distance from the destination, and acquires a station that exists in the searched service area as an optimum getting-off station. May be. Here, acquisition of the optimal boarding station or the optimal getting-off station is not limited to the search by the service area, but the station corresponding to the shortest distance from the starting point or the destination is acquired as the optimal boarding station or the optimal getting-off station. May be.

  After the optimal boarding station is acquired, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 is actually used by the user based on the current position transmitted from the terminal device 2 or the station entrance information acquired from the railway company server. A boarding station is acquired (step S21). In addition, after the optimum disembarkation station is acquired, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 acquires the disembarkation station actually used by the user based on the current position and the exit information of the station transmitted from the terminal device 2. (Step S21).

  After the actually used boarding station is acquired, the incentive provision unit 324 compares the departure place and the optimum boarding station with the boarding station actually used (step S31). Moreover, after the actually used getting-off station is acquired, the incentive provision unit 324 compares the destination and the optimum getting-off station with the actually used getting-off station (step S31). After that, as in FIG. 2, it is determined whether or not the travel section of the public transportation is shortened based on the comparison result (step S4), and an incentive is given according to the determination result (step S5).

  In addition, when a waypoint (for example, a transfer station) is set between the optimum boarding station for the departure point and the optimum getting-off station for the destination, the waypoint may be handled in the same manner as the destination. For example, when the user gets off at the station in front of the transfer station and walks to the transfer station, or gets off at the transfer station and walks to the station ahead of the transfer station and gets on the transfer route, the incentive provision unit 324 May give an incentive to the user.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of using the boarding station ahead of the optimal boarding station as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first modification of the first embodiment. In the example of FIG. 6, the home as the departure place S is registered as reference movement information by the user registration unit 222. In the example of FIG. 6, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 acquires the optimum boarding station with the lowest route cost from the home as new reference movement information based on the registered home. In the example of FIG. 6, the evaluation object movement information acquisition unit 323 has a boarding station on the upstream side of the optimal boarding station and a downstream side of the optimal boarding station as the boarding station actually used beyond the optimal boarding station. Get on with the boarding station. As in the example of FIG. 6, when the boarding station on the upstream side of the optimal boarding station is acquired as the evaluation target movement information by the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323, the incentive provision unit 324 However, it can be determined that the section between the optimal boarding station and the boarding station on the upstream side has been shortened. In addition, when the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 acquires the boarding station on the downward direction side of the optimal boarding station as the evaluation target movement information, the incentive provision unit 324 determines that the train movement section going in the downward direction is the It can be determined that the section between the direction station and the boarding station has been shortened. Therefore, when the boarding station on the upstream side of the optimal boarding station or the boarding station on the downstream side of the optimal boarding station is acquired, the incentive granting unit 324 grants an incentive to the user.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an entry determination to the actually used boarding station as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first modification of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, by setting the geofence F at the station ahead of the optimal boarding station and detecting the entry of the current position into the geofence F, the boarding station actually used is acquired. Also good. The geofence F is a virtual boundary line with a predetermined radius centered on the station where this is set. In addition, the approach determination to the station actually used is not limited to being performed using a geofence, and may be performed by, for example, map matching. Further, the geofence is not limited to being set for a station adjacent to the optimal boarding station, and can be set for a station that stops after the optimal boarding station.

  According to the first modification, an incentive can be given as reference movement information even when only the departure place or destination is registered by the user, not the movement route.

(Second modification)
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an optimum boarding station for each route as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second modification of the first embodiment. In FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the example which acquires the optimal boarding station on a single route as reference movement information was demonstrated. On the other hand, in the second modification example, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 performs, for each route, when there are a plurality of routes in the search area around the home, for example, in the service area search, as shown in FIG. Get the best boarding station. In addition, although not shown, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 may acquire the optimum getting-off station for each route even when there are a plurality of routes around the workplace.

  According to the 2nd modification, since the incentive evaluation based on the optimal boarding station for every route can be performed, the opportunity for a user to acquire an incentive can be increased further.

(Third Modification)
FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the third modification of the first embodiment. So far, the example in which the authenticity of the departure place and the destination registered by the user registration unit 222 is not determined has been described. On the other hand, in the third modification, the authenticity of the departure place and the destination registered by the user registration unit 222 is determined. In the third modification, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 performs various processes such as setting and detection of information for determining the authenticity of the departure place and the destination.

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 sets the optimal boarding station for the acquired departure place when the departure place transmitted from the terminal device 2 is acquired (step S <b> 11). (Step S111). Moreover, the reference | standard movement information acquisition part 322 sets the optimal alighting station with respect to the acquired destination, when the destination transmitted from the terminal device 2 is acquired (step S11) (step S111).

  When the optimal boarding station is acquired, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 sets at least one of the walking distance, the number of steps, and the direction from the departure point to the station beyond the optimal boarding station based on the route network data or the like ( Step S112). Hereinafter, at least one of the walking distance, the number of steps and the direction from the departure point to the station ahead of the optimum boarding station is referred to as “the walking distance from the departure point to the station beyond the optimum boarding station”. Further, when the optimum getting-off station is obtained, the reference movement information obtaining unit 322 sets at least one of the walking distance from the station in front of the optimum getting-off station to the destination, the number of steps, and the direction based on the route network data and the like. (Step S112). Hereinafter, at least one of the walking distance, the number of steps, and the direction from the station in front of the optimum getting-off station to the destination is referred to as “the walking distance from the station in front of the optimum getting-off station to the destination”.

  After setting the walking distance from the departure point to the station ahead of the optimal boarding station, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 detects, that is, actually measures the walking distance from the departure point to the station beyond the optimal boarding station (step). S113). This detection is performed based on, for example, the displacement of the current position, the detection results of the geomagnetic sensor and the acceleration sensor in the terminal device 2, and the determination to enter the geofence set at the station ahead of the optimum boarding station. May be. Further, after setting the walking distance from the station in front of the optimum getting-off station to the destination, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 detects, that is, actually measures the walking distance from the station in front of the optimum getting-off station to the destination. (Step S113). This detection includes, for example, the displacement of the current position, the detection results of the geomagnetic sensor and the acceleration sensor of the terminal device 2, and the predetermined distance or the predetermined number of steps after entering the geofence set at the station in front of the optimum getting-off station. You may perform based on walking determination.

  After detecting the walking distance from the departure point to the station ahead of the optimal boarding station, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 is detected as the walking distance from the set departure point to the station beyond the optimal boarding station. The walking distance from the departure place to the station beyond the optimum boarding station is compared (step S114). In addition, after detecting the walking distance from the station in front of the optimum getting-off station to the destination, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 includes the walking distance from the station in front of the set optimum getting-off station to the destination, etc. The detected walking distance from the station in front of the optimum getting-off station to the destination is compared (step S114).

  Then, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 determines the walking distance from the set departure point to the station ahead of the optimum boarding station and the walking distance from the detected departure point to the station beyond the optimum boarding station. It is determined whether or not they match (step S115). The reference movement information acquisition unit 322 determines the walking distance from the station before the set optimal getting-off station to the destination and the walking distance from the station before the detected optimum getting-off station to the destination. It is determined whether or not they match (step S115).

  When the walking distance from the set departure point to the station ahead of the optimum boarding station matches the walking distance from the detected departure point to the station beyond the optimum boarding station (step S115: Yes), The departure place registered by the user registration unit 222 can be regarded as authentic. In addition, when the walking distance from the station before the set optimal getting-off station to the destination matches the detected walking distance from the station before the optimum getting-off station to the destination (step S115: Yes) ), The destination registered by the user registration unit 222 can be regarded as authentic. In these cases, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 maintains the acquired optimum boarding station and optimum getting-off station and ends the process.

  On the other hand, when the walking distance from the set departure point to the station ahead of the optimal boarding station does not match the walking distance from the detected departure point to the station beyond the optimal boarding station (step S115: No) ), The departure place registered by the user registration unit 222 can be regarded as false. In this case, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 corrects the optimal boarding station to a station ahead of the optimal boarding station (step S116). Note that the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 does not correct the optimum boarding station to the previous station, but based on the walking distance from the detected departure place to the destination station of the optimum boarding station, etc. The departure place registered in step 1 may be corrected to a genuine departure place.

  In addition, when the walking distance from the station before the set optimum departure station to the destination does not match the detected walking distance from the station before the optimum drop off station to the destination (step S115: No) ), The destination registered by the user registration unit 222 can be regarded as false. In this case, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 corrects the optimum getting-off station to a station in front of the optimum getting-off station (step S116). It should be noted that the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 does not correct the optimum getting-off station to the station in front, but based on the detected walking distance from the station in front of the optimum getting-off station to the destination, etc. The destination registered in (1) may be corrected to a genuine destination.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram for explaining authenticity determination of a registered departure place as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the third modification of the first embodiment. In the example of FIG. 10, the position of the home as the departure place is registered by impersonating the user registration unit 222. In this example, the station ahead of the optimal boarding station for the home (impersonated position) is the nearest station of the actual home.

  In the example of FIG. 10, if the authenticity determination of the home position is not performed, the incentive giving unit is used even though the action that does not contribute to the shortening of the train moving section such as using the nearest station of the home position is taken. 324 determines that the station ahead of the optimal boarding station is used, and gives an incentive to the user.

  On the other hand, according to the third modification, it is possible to determine the authenticity of the departure place and the destination, and to correct the optimum boarding station and the optimum getting-off station according to the judgment result. Thereby, it can suppress that an incentive is acquired illegally.

(Fourth modification)
FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the fourth modification of the first embodiment. Until now, the example which acquires the optimal route R1, the departure place, and the destination which the user registered as reference movement information was demonstrated. On the other hand, in the fourth modification, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 acquires the commuter pass boarding station and the commuter pass departure station included in the commuter pass information as reference movement information, as shown in FIG. (Step S101). Moreover, not only the commuter pass boarding station and the commuter pass drop-off station, but also the used route and electric railway company information are acquired as reference movement information.

  After the commuter pass boarding station and the commuter train drop-off station are acquired, the evaluation object movement information acquisition unit 323 determines the current position transmitted from the terminal device 2, the station entrance information, and the entry to the geofence F (see FIG. 7). ) Etc., the boarding station actually used by the user is acquired (step S201). Further, the evaluation object movement information acquisition unit 323 determines the exit station actually used by the user based on the current position transmitted from the terminal device 2, the exit information of the station, the walking distance after entering the Geofence F, and the like. Obtain (step S201).

  After the actually used boarding station and the getting-off station are acquired, the incentive granting unit 324 compares the commuter pass boarding station with the actually used boarding station, and the commuter pass getting-off station and the actually used getting-off station Are compared (step S301).

  After that, as in FIG. 2, it is determined whether or not the public transportation system is shortened based on the comparison result (step S4), and an incentive is given according to the determination result (step S5).

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of getting off at a station in front of the commuter pass drop-off station as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the fourth modification of the first embodiment. In the example of FIG. 12, the commuter pass boarding station is acquired as the actually used boarding station, and the station in front of the commuter ticket boarding station is acquired as the actually used boarding station. In the example of FIG. 12, it can be determined that the train movement section has been shortened by the section between the station in front of the commuter pass drop-off station and the commuter pass drop-off station. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 12, the incentive provision unit 324 provides an incentive to the user.

  According to the 4th modification, even if it is a case where only commuter pass information is registered by the user as standard movement information, an incentive can be given using this.

(Fifth modification)
FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the fifth modification of the first embodiment. In the fourth modification, the nearest station of the departure place (for example, home) is the commuter pass boarding station, and the nearest station of the destination (for example, the workplace) is the commuter pass drop-off station. On the other hand, in the fifth modification, the commuter pass boarding station is a station farther away from the destination than the nearest station of departure, or the commuter pass drop-off station departs from the nearest station of destination. This is an example assuming a station far from the ground (see FIG. 14).

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 acquires the commuter pass boarding station and the commuter pass drop-off station (step S <b> 101), and then transmits the current position and the station transmitted from the terminal device 2. Based on the entrance / exit information and the like, the user's movement log is acquired (step S102). This movement log may be acquired by the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 as evaluation target movement information.

  After acquiring the movement log, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 determines the departure place and the destination based on the acquired movement log (step S103).

  After determining the departure point and the destination, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 sets the optimum boarding station for the determined departure point and the optimum getting-off station for the determined destination (step S104). At this time, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 detects a plurality of stations around the departure point as candidates for the optimum boarding station by a route search using the route search unit 321, and also detects a plurality of around the destination. May be detected as a candidate for the optimal drop-off station. Even in this case, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 can quickly and reliably narrow down the optimum boarding station and the optimum getting-off station to stations on the commuter pass section based on the commuter pass information.

  After setting the optimal boarding station and optimal boarding station, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 acquires the boarding station and the boarding station actually used by the user (step S201). This step may be omitted when the actually used boarding station and getting-off station are acquired as the movement log (step S102).

  After acquiring the actually used boarding station and the getting-off station, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 compares the optimum boarding station with the actually used boarding station, and compares the optimum boarding station with the actually used boarding station. Are compared (step S302).

  After that, as in FIG. 2, it is determined whether or not the public transportation system is shortened based on the comparison result (step S4), and an incentive is given according to the determination result (step S5).

  FIG. 14 shows an example of using the boarding station ahead of the optimal boarding station and the boarding station before the optimal boarding station as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the fifth modification of the first embodiment. FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 14, the commuter pass boarding station is a station farther from the workplace than the nearest station at home. The commuter pass drop-off station is a station farther from the home than the nearest station in the workplace. In the example of FIG. 14, the nearest station of the home is acquired as the optimum boarding station for the home determined based on the movement log. In addition, the nearest station of the workplace is acquired as the optimum getting-off station for the workplace determined based on the movement log. For the reference movement information (optimum boarding station, optimum boarding station) obtained in this way, the actually used boarding station obtained as evaluation object movement information is the station ahead of the optimum boarding station. Moreover, the actually used disembarkation station acquired as evaluation object movement information is a station in front of the optimal disembarkation station. In this case, it can be determined that the train movement section has been shortened for the section between the optimum boarding station and the actually used boarding station and for the section between the actually used boarding station and the optimum boarding station. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 14, the incentive provision unit 324 provides an incentive to the user.

  In the example of FIG. 14, if incentive evaluation is performed using a commuter pass boarding station or commuter pass drop-off station as reference movement information, it contributes to shortening the train moving section such as using the nearest station at home or at work. Despite taking no action, it is determined that the station ahead of the commuter pass boarding station or the station in front of the commuter pass drop-off station is used, and an incentive is given.

  On the other hand, according to the fifth modification, the optimum boarding station for the departure place set based on the movement log (evaluation target movement information), and the optimum departure station for the destination set based on the movement log Is used as the reference movement information, it can be precisely determined whether or not the travel section of public transportation has been shortened. Thereby, the incentive can be given to the commuter pass user who has truly contributed to the shortening of the travel section of public transportation.

(Sixth Modification)
FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of an information processing system 1 according to a sixth modification of the first embodiment. So far, an example in which an incentive is given regardless of the time zone if the travel section of public transportation has been shortened has been described. On the other hand, the sixth modification is configured to give an incentive when the travel section of public transportation is shortened in a congestion peak time zone, which is an example of a predetermined time zone.

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 15, in the sixth modification, the storage unit 33 of the server 3 stores congestion peak time zone data 333 indicating the congestion peak time zone of public transportation. The incentive granting unit 324 makes the incentive granting condition that the shortening is performed in the congested peak time zone indicated in the congested peak time zone data 333 in addition to the shortened travel section of public transportation. In addition, in order to make it possible to determine that the travel section of the public transportation has been shortened during the peak congestion period, in particular, the evaluation target travel information of the sixth modification includes time information. This time information may be, for example, the time corresponding to the current position, the entry / exit time of the station, the entry time to the geofence, and the like. Hereinafter, a specific operation example of the sixth modification will be described.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the sixth modification of the first embodiment. When it is determined that the travel section of public transportation has been shortened (step S4: Yes), the incentive provision unit 324 acquires the congestion peak time zone data 333 from the storage unit 33 (step S6).

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating congestion peak time zone data for each route in an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the sixth modification of the first embodiment. In the example of FIG. 17, the congestion peak time zone indicated in the congestion peak time zone data 333 is associated with a station to i station on the A route of the train. The congestion peak time zone associated with each station a to i is further divided into a plurality of time zones (first time zone, second time zone, and third time zone). Note that the congestion peak time zone may be a time zone in which the server 3 obtains the congestion level and updates (changes) each time based on the operation information and the congestion information distributed in real time, or may be a predetermined fixed time zone. It may be a time zone.

  After acquiring the congestion peak time zone data 333 illustrated in FIG. 17, as shown in FIG. 16, the incentive granting unit 324 determines whether or not the travel section of public transportation has been shortened to the congestion peak time zone. Determination is made (step S7). This determination is made by comparing the time information associated with the evaluation target movement information with the congestion peak time zone data 333. Then, when the travel section of public transportation is shortened to the congestion peak time zone (step S7: Yes), the incentive provision unit 324 provides the user with an incentive (step S5).

  Note that the incentive granting unit 324 may vary the incentives to be given according to the time zone even in the crowded peak time zone. That is, the incentive granting unit 324 may grant an incentive according to a time zone in which the travel section of public transportation is shortened. For example, the incentive granting unit 324 may increase the number of incentives and the monetary value that are given to a user who has shortened the travel section of the public transportation in a time zone where the amount of congestion is larger in the crowded peak time zone.

  FIG. 18 shows an example of using the getting-off station in front of the optimum getting-off station on the optimum route in the congestion peak time zone as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the sixth modification of the first embodiment. FIG. In the example of FIG. 18, the evaluation target movement route Re that is an example of the evaluation target movement information is a route that shortens the train movement section as compared with the optimum route Rr that is an example of the reference movement information. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 18, the evaluation target movement route Re is a route that uses the getting-off station in front of the optimum getting-off station on the optimum route Rr. In the example of FIG. 18, the optimal disembarking station is the h station on the A line illustrated in FIG. 17, and the station in front of it is the g station on the A line. Further, in the example of FIG. 18, the user uses the getting-off station g in front of the optimum getting-off station h at 8:00 in the crowded peak time zone indicated by the crowded peak time zone data 333. In this case, since the station g is used in the first time zone of FIG. 17, it can be determined that the train movement section has been shortened to the crowded peak time zone. For this reason, the incentive provision part 324 provides the user with the incentive corresponding to the 1st time slot | zone of g station.

  According to the sixth modified example, it is possible to give an incentive to a user who surely contributes by reducing congestion in public transportation.

(Seventh Modification)
FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the seventh modification example of the first embodiment. So far, the example in which the reference movement information is acquired based on the registration information of the user registration unit 222 has been described. On the other hand, the information processing system 1 of the seventh modified example acquires the reference movement information based on the evaluation object movement information.

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 19, first, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 acquires evaluation target movement information (step S2).

  After the evaluation target movement information is acquired, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 acquires the reference movement information based on the evaluation target movement information (step S1). For example, when the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 acquires the destination as the evaluation target movement information, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 may acquire the optimum getting-off station for the destination as the reference movement information.

  After acquiring the reference movement information based on the evaluation object movement information, the reference movement information and the evaluation object movement information are compared (step S3) to determine whether or not the movement section of the public transportation is shortened, as in FIG. After the determination (step S4), an incentive according to the determination result is given (step S5).

  According to the seventh modified example, since the reference movement information can be automatically acquired based on the evaluation object movement information, it is not necessary to pre-register the reference movement information in the user registration unit 222, and the user's operation burden is reduced. it can.

(Eighth modification)
FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the eighth modification example of the first embodiment. In the eighth modification, the incentive granting unit 324 first obtains the amount of shortening of the travel section of public transportation when granting the incentive (step S51). And the incentive provision part 324 provides the incentive according to the acquired shortening amount (step S52). For example, as described in the example of FIG. 4C, the incentive granting unit 324 increases the number of incentives to be given to the user and money as the distance (or required time) of the shortened travel section of public transportation is longer. The target value may be increased.

  According to the 8th modification, the incentive according to the shortening amount of the movement area of public transport can be provided, and the congestion of public transport can be further eased.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 21 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, the example in which incentives are given when the travel section of public transportation is shortened has been described. On the other hand, in 2nd Embodiment, when a user does not utilize the optimal boarding station with respect to a departure place, or the optimal departure station with respect to the destination, an incentive is provided. In the second embodiment, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 illustrated in FIG. 1 is used as an acquisition unit. In the second embodiment, the evaluation target movement information acquisition unit 323 illustrated in FIG. 1 may be omitted.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, first, the reference movement information acquisition unit 322 acquires at least one of an optimal boarding station for a preset departure point and an optimal departure station for a preset destination. (Step S8).

  After at least one of the optimal boarding station and the optimal boarding station is acquired, the incentive provision unit 324 determines whether the user has moved without using the optimal boarding station or the optimal boarding station (step S9).

  And when a user moves without using an optimal boarding station or an optimal alighting station (step S9: Yes), the incentive provision part 324 provides an incentive to a user (step S5).

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating a determination process for determining whether or not the user has moved without using the optimum getting-off station in an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the determination step as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment.

  The incentive provision unit 324 may determine whether or not the user has moved without using the optimum getting-off station (step S9) according to the following procedure.

  First, the server 3 sets a geofence F at a station in front of the optimum disembarking station (step S91 in FIG. 22, FIG. 23).

  After the geofence F is set, the incentive granting unit 324 determines whether or not the user has entered the station in front of the optimum getting-off station based on the set geofence F and the current position (step S92). ).

  When the user enters a station in front of the optimal disembarking station (step S92: Yes), the incentive provision unit 324 determines whether or not there is a predetermined distance walking within a predetermined time (step S93). It may be determined whether or not a predetermined number of steps have been taken within a predetermined time.

  When walking of a predetermined distance or a predetermined number of steps is detected (step S93 in FIG. 22: Yes, FIG. 23), the incentive provision unit 324 determines that there is a movement that does not use the optimum getting-off station (step S9: Yes). Incentives to users.

  According to the second embodiment, it is possible to simply provide incentives by omitting the step of evaluating the shortening of the movement section.

  In FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, the geofence F is set at the station in front of the optimal disembarkation station when determining whether or not there is movement without using the optimal disembarkation station. On the other hand, in the first modification, the incentive provision unit 324 sets the geofence F1 at the station in front of the optimum getting-off station, and further sets the geofence F2 at the optimum getting-off station (FIG. 24). Step S94, FIG. 25).

  Further, in the first modification, the incentive provision unit 324 confirms the approach to the station in front of the optimum getting-off station (step S92: Yes), and then optimizes based on the geofence F2 set to the optimum getting-off station. It is determined whether or not there has been an entry into the optimal disembarkation station within a predetermined time after entering the station in front of the disembarking station (step S95).

  And when there was no approach to the optimal disembarkation station within predetermined time (step S95: No), the incentive provision part 324 determines that there was the movement which does not use the optimal disembarkation station (step S9: Yes), Give incentives to users. According to the first modification, it is not necessary to detect the user's walking.
