First Claim
1. An information presenting method for presenting information to a passenger on a passenger carrier which stops at predetermined boarding-and-alighting points, the information presenting method comprising:
- (a) emitting, by a lighting apparatus provided in the passenger carrier, light to a passenger space of the passenger carrier, the light including, in form of a visible light communication signal, unique information which is unique to the passenger carrier and specific to a location of the passenger carrier;
(b) receiving in the passenger space, by a terminal carried by the passenger, the light emitted in (a) and obtaining the unique information included in the received light;
(c) obtaining, among the predetermined boarding-and-alighting points, one or more stop points at which the passenger carrier is currently stopped or is to subsequently stop, the one or more boarding-and-alighting points being derived from the obtained unique information;
(d) receiving an alighting point at which the passenger is to alight from the passenger carrier;
(e) determining whether the alighting point is included in the one or more stop points; and
(f) presenting, to the passenger via the terminal, alighting information notifying the passenger to alight from the passenger carrier, when the alighting point is determined to be included in the one or more stop points in (e).

Abstract
In an information presenting method, visible light including unique information, which is unique to a passenger carrier and specific to a location of the carrier, is emitted. The light is received in the passenger space and the unique information is obtained. One or more stop points at which the carrier is currently stopped or is to subsequently stop are obtained. The one or more stop points are derived from the unique information. An alighting point at which a user is to alight from the carrier is obtained. Whether the alighting point is included in the one or more stop points is determined. Alighting information notifying the user to alight from the bus is presented to the user via a terminal, when the alighting point is determined to be included in the one or more stop points.

7. A server comprising:
-
a memory storing one or more pieces of predetermined information associated with one or more of predetermined boarding-and-alighting points at which a passenger carrier stops; a unique information receiver which receives unique information which is unique to the passenger carrier and specific to a location of the passenger carrier, and an alighting point at which a passenger is to alight from the passenger carrier; a determiner which determines whether the unique information received by the unique information receiver is authentic; and a predetermined transmitter which transmits, among the one or more pieces of predetermined information, predetermined information associated with the alighting point received by the unique information receiver, when the determiner determines the unique information to be authentic.

8. An information presenting system which presents information to a passenger on a passenger carrier which stops at predetermined boarding-and-alighting points, the information presenting system comprising:
-
a lighting apparatus provided in the passenger carrier; and a terminal carried by the passenger, wherein the lighting apparatus includes a light emitter which emits light to a passenger space of the passenger carrier, the light including, in form of a visible light communication signal, unique information which is unique to the passenger carrier and specific to a location of the passenger carrier, and the terminal includes; a receiver which receives, in the passenger space, the light emitted by the light emitter, and obtains the unique information included in the received light; an obtainer which obtains, among the predetermined boarding-and-alighting points, one or more stop points at which the passenger carrier is currently stopped or is to subsequently stop, the one or more stop points being derived from the obtained unique information; a user interface which receives input of an alighting point at which the passenger is to alight from the passenger carrier; a determiner which determines whether the passenger carrier is near the alighting point, by comparing the one or more stop points and the alighting point; and a presenter which presents, to the passenger, alighting information indicating that the passenger carrier is near the alighting point, when the determiner determines the passenger carrier to be near the alighting point. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
