Abstract

Provided is a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in which an information providing program is stored for causing a computer to control a mobile terminal, the information providing program causing the computer to operate as: an area information acquiring circuit acquiring area information continuously transmitted from an information transmission device which is arranged in public transportation and available only in the train, an arrival station identification information acquiring circuit acquiring arrival station identification information transmitted from the information transmission device within a specified period, an arrival station identification information comparing circuit comparing the arrival station identification information with the destination station identification information, a boarding and alighting guidance control circuit notifying that the train is approaching the detraining station when a comparison result obtained by the arrival station identification information comparing circuit is matched with each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in which an information providing program is stored for causing a computer to control a mobile terminal, the information providing program causing the computer to operate as:
a detraining station setting receiving circuit that receives an inputted setting of a destination detraining station and holds the setting as destination station identification information; an area information acquiring circuit that acquires area information which is continuously transmitted from an information transmission device arranged in public transportation and available only in a train; an arrival station identification information acquiring circuit that acquires arrival station identification information transmitted from the information transmission device within a specified period; an arrival station identification information comparing circuit that compares the arrival station identification information with the destination station identification information; and a boarding and alighting guidance control circuit that notifies that the train is approaching a detraining station when a comparison result obtained by the arrival station identification information comparing circuit is matched with each other, wherein when the comparison result obtained by the arrival station identification information comparing circuit does not match with each other, and the area information acquiring circuit ceases to acquire the area information, the boarding and alighting control circuit determines that a user gets off at a station other than the destination detraining station and issue a warning.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the boarding and alighting guidance control circuit determines that the user gets off at the station before the destination detraining station and issue the warning when the area information acquiring circuit ceases to acquire the area information before the comprising result obtained by the arrival station identification information comparing circuit is matched with each other.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the boarding and alighting guidance control circuit determines that the user failed to get off at the destination detraining station when the area information acquiring circuit acquired the area information even after the specified period has elapsed after the comparison result obtained by the arrival station identification information comparing circuit is matched with each other.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the boarding and alighting guidance control circuit reads route maps of various routes and identification information of each of the station stored in the boarding and alighting guidance storage part and outputs transfer guidance until the user arrives at the destination detraining station.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the boarding and alighting guidance control circuit cancels the holding of the destination station identification information by the detraining station setting receiving circuit when the area information acquiring circuit ceases to acquire the area information until the specified period has elapsed after the comparison result obtained by the arrival station identification information comparing circuit is matched with each other.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the specified period is a time interval between a time when the train approaches the arrival station and a time when the train departs from the arrival station.

7 . A boarding and alighting guidance system comprising:
a traffic control system that is arranged at a remote position distant from a station; an information transmission device that is arranged in a train and receives information from the traffic control system; and a mobile terminal that receives information from the information transmission device, the traffic control system including an arrival station identification information transmission control circuit that confirms an operation status of the train and transmits arrival station identification information containing train identification information for identifying an arrival station to the information transmission device when the train approaches the station, the information transmission device including an arrival station identification information transmission circuit that transmits the arrival station identification information within a specified period and an area information transmission circuit that continuously transmits area information which is available only in the train, and the mobile terminal including a detraining station setting receiving circuit that receives a destination detraining station and holds the setting as destination station identification information, an area information acquiring circuit that acquires the area information, an arrival station identification information acquiring circuit that acquires the arrival station identification information, an arrival station identification information comparison circuit that compares the arrival station identification information with the destination station identification information, and a boarding and alighting guidance control circuit that notifies that the train is approaching the destination detraining station when a comparison obtained by the arrival station identification information comparison circuit is matched with each other, wherein the boarding and alighting guidance control circuit determines that the user gets off at a station other than the destination detraining station and issue a warning when the comparison result obtained by the arrival station identification information comparison circuit does not match with each other, and when the area information acquiring circuit ceases to acquire the area information.
