• This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18105053 Titled 'ROUTE INFORMATION PROVIDING DEVICE AND ROUTE INFORMATION PROVIDING METHOD'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a device that helps a group of people plan their movement by providing route information. The device includes a communication device and a processor. The communication device allows communication with each member of the group. The processor performs various tasks, including generating a movement route for each member based on their departure place, departure time, stop-off places, desired meeting places, arrival time at each meeting place, and individual characteristics. It also calculates the meeting time for each meeting place and shares the generated movement routes and meeting times with the group.

Original Abstract Submitted

A route information providing device assists movement of a group with a plurality of members, and includes a communication device and a processor. The communication device is configured to communicate with a communication terminal of each member. The processor is configured to execute: a route generation process to generate a movement route of each member including one or more meeting places where some or all members of the group meet, based on member information including a departure place, a departure time, one or more stop-off places, one or more desired meeting places, an arrival time at each of the one or more desired meeting places, and individual characteristics; a time calculation process to calculate a meeting time of each of the one or more meeting places; and a sharing process to share, in the group, a generated movement route of each member and a calculated meeting time.
