FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a process flow of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment.
A processing flow of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The input unit 110 receives the position data of the taxi 210 that is the entity or the access request data of the user terminal 200 (S101).
The input unit 110 determines the type of received data (S102).

  As a result of determining the data type, when the data type is the position data of the taxi 210, the entity position data update unit 130 inputs the entity position data of the entity information table 192 having the taxi 210 as an entity as shown in FIG. 110 is updated with the received position data of the taxi 210 (S103).

For example, when the position data of the taxi 210 identified by T1 is received, the entity position data corresponding to the entity name T1 in the entity information table 192 is updated with the received position data.
Thereby, the position of each entity can be managed at any time.

As a result of determining the data type in S102, when the data type is the access request data of the user terminal 200, the area data acquisition unit 115 stores the CIS table 191 as shown in FIG. The area definition data corresponding to the area name is acquired by searching (S104).
The entity data search unit 120 compares the area definition data acquired by the area data acquisition unit 115 with the entity position data of the entity information table 192, searches for an entity located in the area indicated by the area definition data, and searches for the entity. The entity attribute data is acquired (S105).
Here, the entity attribute data of all entities may be acquired or the entity attributes of several entities may be acquired for the searched entities, that is, entities located in the area indicated by the area definition data. For example, when the number of entities located in the area indicated by the area definition data is larger than a predetermined number, processing is performed such as acquiring entity attributes of a predetermined number of entities in the searched order. May be sifted.
The output unit 125 generates result data based on the access request data of the user terminal 200 input by the input unit 110 and the entity attribute data acquired by the entity data search unit 120 (S106).
The output unit 125 transmits the generated result data (S107).

For example, the taxi 210 located in the CISa area in the entity information table 192 shown in FIG. 6 includes a request content indicating that the access request data indicates acquisition of empty vehicle information of a taxi located in the CISa area and the IP address of the user terminal 200. And T3, the processing of the output unit 125 is as follows.
The output unit 125 generates result data including the company name, type, initial charge, additional charge, and location data acquired by the entity data search unit 120, and the IP address included in the access request data is used as the result data. The result data is transmitted to the user terminal 200 as a transmission destination.
Thereby, the result data received by the user terminal 200 is displayed on the display device, and the user can move to the displayed place and get on the taxi 210.

Further, the access request data includes the request contents indicating the call of the taxi located in the CISa area and the position data of the user terminal 200. The taxi 210 located in the CISa area in the entity information table 192 shown in FIG. In some cases, the processing of the output unit 125 is as follows.
The output unit 125 determines the status of the entity attribute data of T1 and T3 acquired by the entity data search unit 120, and results data including the position data of the user terminal 200 with the IP address of T1 determined to be empty as a transmission destination Is generated and transmitted to the taxi T1.
Thereby, the result data received by the taxi T1 is displayed on the display device, and the user can move to the place where the taxi T1 is displayed, and the user can get on the taxi T1.

Further, when the vending machine 220 is used as an entity, the result data can be generated and transmitted in the same manner as the taxi 210 with reference to the entity information table 192 shown in FIG.
For example, when the access request data includes the request content indicating the alcohol sales stop at the vending machine located in the CISa area, and the vending machine 220 located in the CISa area is V1 in the entity information table 192 shown in FIG. The processing of the output unit 125 is as follows.
The output unit 125 changes the status of the V1 entity attribute data searched by the entity data search unit 120 from “on sale” to “sales stop”, and indicates that the status has been changed with the IP address of V1 as the transmission destination. Result data is generated and transmitted to the vending machine V1.
Thereby, based on the result data which the vending machine V1 received, it is possible to stop selling the alcohol product.

  In the above description, in the entity information table 192 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, “IP address” is defined as an attribute for accessing entities such as the taxi 210 and the vending machine 220. Here, the “IP address” may be IPv4 (IPv4) or IPv6 (IPv6). Further, an attribute for accessing other than “IP address” may be defined. For example, a telephone provided in the taxi 210 or a mobile phone number possessed by the driver of the taxi 210 may be used.

In the above description, the case where the entity attribute data of the entity located in the area indicated by the area name is acquired based on the area name included in the access request data received from the user terminal 200 has been described.
However, the user terminal position data measured by the user terminal 200 is included in the access request data, area definition data of the area where the user terminal is located is acquired based on the user terminal position data, and the area is the same as the area where the user terminal is located. The entity attribute data of the entity located may be acquired.
For example, when the user terminal position data is received from the user terminal 200 located in the CISa area as illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 determines that the area of the position indicated by the user terminal position data is the CISa, The information table 192 is searched, and the entity information located in the CISa area is transmitted to the user terminal 200.

In the first embodiment, since the information processing apparatus 100 includes the entity position data update unit 130, entity entity position data stored in the storage unit 190 is dynamic data corresponding to an entity that moves like the taxi 210.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
Hereinafter, the parts of the third embodiment that are different from the first embodiment will be described, and the other parts are the same as those of the first embodiment.

FIG. 14 is a configuration diagram of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the third embodiment.
Regarding the configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 in the third embodiment, a configuration different from the configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 4 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Other configurations are the same as those described in the first embodiment.

The storage unit 190 corresponds to the access authority data indicating the access authority for the data stored in the storage unit 190 and the authority position data indicating the position where the access authority is given and the relative position with the area managed by the CIS table 191. The access authority table 194 to be stored is stored. The data stored in the storage unit 190 is, for example, the virtual information space table 191 or the entity information table 192.
The stored data management unit 140 acquires the authority position data at the position indicated by the position data of the positioning device from the access authority table 194 based on the position data of the positioning device such as the user terminal 200 or the taxi 210 input by the input unit 110. . Further, access authority data corresponding to the acquired authority position data is acquired from the access authority table 194, and the data stored in the storage unit 190 is stored based on the acquired access authority data and the access request data input by the input unit 110. to access.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating the access authority table 194 according to the third embodiment.
In FIG. 15, an access authority table 194 associates authority position data with access authority data.
The authority position data associates “area name” with “relative position”.
The “area name” of the authority position data corresponds to the “area name” shown in the CIS table 191.
The “relative position” of the authority position data is inside (Outside) or outside (Outside) indicated by “area name”, approaching (approaching) or away from the area indicated by “area name” (Departing). Shows.
The access authority data indicates whether or not there is an access authority for “reference”, “update”, “addition”, and “deletion”.
The access authority “0” indicates that there is no access authority, “1” indicates that there is an access authority, and “−1” indicates that there is an exclusive access authority.
“There is no access authority” means access prohibition, and “I have access authority” means access permission.
“Exclusively having access authority” indicates that the user has access authority when he / she has non-target authority position data. For example, FIG. 15 shows that the user has “reference” authority when the user is located outside of the CISc area, that is, in the CISc area.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating a processing flow of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the third embodiment.
A processing flow of the information processing apparatus 100 according to Embodiment 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

The input unit 110 receives access request data from the user terminal 200 (S301).
The stored data management unit 140 searches the access authority table 194 based on the area name and user terminal location data included in the access request data received by the input unit 110 and acquires access authority data. In order to search the access authority table 194 and obtain access authority data, the following process may be performed. First, the area definition data is obtained by searching the CIS table 191 with the area name included in the access request data. Next, the relative position is determined based on the user terminal position data included in the access request data and the acquired area definition data. Then, the access authority table 194 is searched with the area name included in the access request data and the determined relative position, and the access authority data is acquired. With regard to “Approaching” and “Departing”, the traveling direction can be determined by comparing the user terminal position data included in the access request data acquired at different times from the user terminal 200, and the relative position can be determined (S302).
The stored data management unit 140 refers to the acquired access authority data and determines whether there is an access authority requested by the access request data (S303).
When the stored data management unit 140 determines that there is access authority, the information processing apparatus 100 performs the data access requested by the access request data. The data access process is the same as the process of S104 to S107 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 of the first embodiment (S304).
When the stored data management unit 140 determines that there is no access authority, the information processing apparatus 100 does not perform the data access requested by the access request data.

For example, when the access authority table 194 shown in FIG. 15 is used, reference, update, addition, and deletion processes are performed on the data in the CISa area of the CIS table 191 in response to an access request from the user terminal 200 located in the CISa area.
In addition, any processing of reference, update, addition, and deletion is not performed for the access request from the user terminal 200 that moves away from the CISb area.

In the above description, the access authority is determined for the relative position using the access authority table 194 as shown in FIG. 15, but the access authority may be determined together with the access authority based on information other than the relative position.
For example, a table associating a user ID (IDentification) for identifying a user with an access authority given to the user is stored as user information. The access request data including the user ID is received from the user terminal 200, and the access authority is given within the access authority corresponding to the user ID. In this case, the stored data management unit 140 determines an access authority that is the same between the access authority corresponding to the user ID and the access authority acquired from the access authority table 194. That is, if the access authority corresponding to the user ID is “reference” and “add”, and the access authority acquired from the access authority table 194 is “reference” and “update”, the user access authority is only “reference”. Become.

  In the third embodiment, similarly to the second embodiment, the areas indicated by the CIS table 191 may overlap as shown in FIGS. Similar to the attribute change processing method data described in the second embodiment, the storage unit 190 stores the access authority determination method data indicating the verification method for verifying the access authority based on the access authority data corresponding to the authority position data of the overlapping area. You can memorize it. For example, the storage data management unit 140 determines the priority of the area indicated by the access authority determination method data stored in the storage unit 190, and determines the presence or absence of the access authority based on the access authority data corresponding to the area with a high priority. Can do.

  In the third embodiment, it has been described that by providing the storage data management unit 140 and the access authority table, the access authority can be managed using the relative position between the user who makes an access request and each area as an access key. The processing target data for managing the access authority is not limited to the data in the CIS table 191 and the entity information table 192, and even if the configuration is different from the information processing apparatus 100 described in the third embodiment, the relative position is used as the access key. Access authority can be managed.
