Abstract

A traffic service information transmission system comprises an information transmission server (1) for controlling the windows to users and the systems, a traffic service reservation managing system (3) for making a reservation of a traffic services a user

registration information storage device (2) for registering information necessary for each service by using the user ID such as the mobile telephone number as a search key a traffic service operation managing system (4) for managing the operation and diagram of a traffic services, and a station premise information system (5) for managing premise information on the premises of stations and traffic terminals. When making a reservation of a traffic service, the information necessary for the service is registered by using the user ID as a search key, the user ID is recognized from the service request transmission from a user mobile telephone (8), the user information is extracted from the user registration information storage device (2), and the service request from the user is processed to transmit the necessary information to the user.

Claims

1. A traffic service information transmission system characterized by comprising:

an information transmission server connected to a network;

a reservation terminal and user mobile telephone which access said information transmission server via said network;

a traffic service reservation managing system linked to said information transmission server to make, collate, and cancel a reservation from said information transmission server;

a traffic service operation managing system linked to said information transmission server to transmit, to said information transmission server, an operation of a traffic service accessed from said information transmission server, and notify said information transmission server of traffic obstacle information;

a station premise information system linked to said information transmission server to transmit, to said information transmission server, premise information of, e.g., a station/traffic terminal accessed from said information transmission server; and

a user registration information storage device connected to said information transmission server to store, from said information transmission server, a traffic service reserved by a user and user information by using a user ID as a search key,

wherein said reservation terminal transmits reservation information input by a user to said information transmission server,

said user mobile telephone transmits each service request to said information transmission server, and receives information responding to the service request, and

said information transmission server comprises receiving means for receiving each service request from said user mobile telephone, access processing means which, when a service request is received, accesses at least one of said user registration information storage device, traffic service reservation managing system, traffic service operation managing system, and station premise information system, and transmitting means for transmitting necessary information obtained by the access to said user mobile telephone.

2. A traffic service information transmission system according to claim 1, characterized in that said information transmission server comprises registration control means for registering, in said user registration information storage device, traffic service reservation related information transmitted from one of said reservation terminal and user mobile telephone and a departure place and destination of a user by using a user ID as a search key.

3. A traffic service transmission system according to claim 1, characterized in that

when receiving a traffic service guidance request from said user mobile telephone, said access processing means extracts user information from said user registration information storage device in accordance with a received user ID, and acquires necessary information from said traffic service operation managing system on the basis of the extracted user information, and

said transmitting means transmits, to said user mobile telephone, a traffic route from a departure place to a main station/main traffic terminal and a destination, diagram information of a traffic service, reserved traffic service transfer information, and a transfer time in a transfer station/transfer traffic terminal.

4. A traffic service information transmission system according to claim 1, characterized in that

said transmitting means transmits, to said user mobile telephone, station/traffic terminal premise information as information of guidance to a transfer traffic service.

5. A traffic service information transmission system according to claim 1, characterized in that

when receiving information of a traffic route having a traffic obstacle and route information for detouring a damaged route, both of which are transmitted from said traffic service operation managing system, said access processing means searches said user registration information storage device for a user matching the traffic obstacle route information, and

said transmitting means transmits received roundabout route information to said user mobile telephone found by search.

6. A traffic service information transmission system according to claim 5, characterized in that

when said access processing means receives a user'"'"'s comprehension signal from said user mobile telephone, said information transmission server changes a reservation in said traffic service reservation managing system, and
