1. A timetable generating device, comprising:
- an obtaining unit which obtains location information of a specified point which is an arbitrary point between established stopping points along a route and for which a timetable is to be generated, the specified point being specified by user operation;
a time identifying unit which identifies at least one passage time at which a vehicle of public transportation running on the route passes the specified point;
a timetable generating unit which generates timetable information that includes each identified passage time; and
a timetable outputting unit which outputs a timetable based on the timetable information,wherein the time identifying unit identifies, for each passage time, a regular passage time and at least one of a latest passage time or a earliest passage time at which the vehicle of public transportation passes the specified point,the timetable generating unit generates the timetable information that includes, for each passage time, the regular passage time and at least one of the latest passage time or the earliest passage time, andthe timetable outputting unit outputs the timetable which displays, for each passage time, at least one of the latest passage time or the earliest passage time in association with the regular passage time based on the timetable information.

7. A timetable generating method for use in a timetable generating device which comprises an obtaining unit, a timetable identifying unit, a timetable generating unit, and a timetable outputting unit, the method comprising:
-
an obtaining step of obtaining, by the obtaining unit, location information of a specified point which is an arbitrary point between established stopping points along a route and for which a timetable is to be generated, the specified point being specified by user operation; a time identifying step of identifying, by the timetable identifying unit, at least one passage time at which a vehicle of public transportation running on the route passes the specified point; a timetable generating step of generating, by the timetable generating unit, timetable information that includes each identified passage time; and a timetable outputting step of outputting, by the timetable outputting unit, a timetable based on the timetable information, wherein the time identifying step identifies, for each passage time, a regular passage time and at least one of a latest passage time or a earliest passage time at which the vehicle of public transportation passes the specified point, the timetable generating step generates the timetable information that includes, for each passage time, the regular passage time and at least one of the latest passage time or the earliest passage time, and the timetable outputting step outputs the timetable which displays, for each passage time, at least one of the latest passage time or the earliest passage time in association with the regular passage time based on the timetable information.

8. A timetable generating system, comprising:
-
a user terminal; and a timetable generating device, wherein the user terminal comprises; an input unit which receives an input of location information of a specified point which is an arbitrary point between established stopping points along a route and for which a timetable is to be generated, the specified point being specified by user operation; a transmission unit which transmits the input location information of the specified point to the timetable generating device; a reception unit which receives from the timetable generating device a timetable that includes at least one passage time at which a vehicle of public transportation running on the route passes the specified point; and an output unit which outputs the received timetable, wherein the timetable generating device comprises; an obtaining unit which obtains the location information of the specified point from the user terminal; a time identifying unit which identifies the at least one passage time at which the vehicle of public transportation passes the specified point; a timetable generating unit which generates timetable information that includes each identified passage time; and a timetable outputting unit which transmits the timetable to the user terminal based on the timetable information, wherein the time identifying unit identifies, for each passage time, a regular passage time and at least one of a latest passage time or a earliest passage time at which the vehicle of public transportation passes the specified point, the timetable generating unit generates the timetable information that includes, for each passage time, the regular passage time and at least one of the latest passage time or the earliest passage time, and the timetable outputting unit transmits the timetable which displays, for each passage time, at least one of the latest passage time or the earliest passage time in association with the regular passage time based on the timetable information.
