INFORMATION TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18026707 Titled 'INFORMATION TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an apparatus that transmits information to passengers regarding their boarding and getting-off stops. It consists of three main components: an information acquisition unit, a route determination unit, and an information transmission unit.

The information acquisition unit collects data about the passenger's boarding and getting-off stops.

The route determination unit uses this data, along with information stored in a route information storage unit, to determine the best route for the passenger to take.

The information transmission unit then sends relevant information to the passenger's terminal, such as the appearance image and vehicle number of the vehicle they should board.

This transmission is timed based on the current position of the vehicle traveling on the determined route and the boarding stop information.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information transmission apparatus includes an information acquisition unit, a route determination unit, and an information for a passenger transmission unit. The information acquisition unit acquires boarding stop information indicating a boarding stop for a passenger, and getting-off stop information indicating a getting-off stop for the passenger. The route determination unit determines, by using a route information storage unit, and the boarding stop information and the getting-off stop information, route information indicating a route of a vehicle that the passenger should board. The information for a passenger transmission unit transmits information for a passenger to a terminal of the passenger at a timing determined by using a current position of a vehicle traveling on a route indicated by the route information, and the boarding stop information. The information for a passenger includes boarding vehicle information, for example, an appearance image and a vehicle number of the vehicle.
