Travel information providing method, travel information providing apparatus, and non-transitory recording medium

A travel information providing method for providing a user traveling by public transportation with information concerning the travel via a terminal device, the terminal device being capable of acquiring a time and a position, the travel information providing method comprising:

• acquiring, from the terminal device, destination information indicating an alighting location of the user on the public transportation;
• acquiring current information from the terminal device, the current information indicating a current time and a position of the terminal device at the current time;
• acquiring identification information for identifying a transportation service of the public transportation that the user boards from a transmitter of the public transportation that the user boards;
• acquiring operation information indicating an operation schedule of the public transportation;
• determining whether the transportation service that the user boards stops at the alighting location after the current time on the basis of the destination information, the current information, the identification information, and the operation information;
• and
• notifying the user, via the terminal device, that the transportation service that the user boards does not stop at the alighting location in a case in which it is determined that the transportation service that the user boards does not stop at the alighting location after the current time,
• wherein it is determined that the transportation service that the user boards stops at the alighting location in a case in which the operation information indicates that the transportation service that the user boards stops at the alighting location past the current position.

A travel information providing apparatus that provides a user with information concerning travel of the user by public transportation via a terminal device, the terminal device being capable of acquiring a time and a position,

• wherein the travel information providing apparatus
• acquires, from the terminal device, destination information indicating an alighting location of the user on the public transportation,
• acquires first information and second information from the terminal device, the first information indicating a first time and a position of the terminal device at the first time, the second information indicating a second time and a position of the terminal device at the second time, the second time being later than the first time,
• acquires, as a departure time of a transportation service of the public transportation that the user has boarded, a time at which a traveling speed of the terminal device has exceeded a first threshold value on the basis of the first information and the second information,
• acquires, as a boarding location where the user has boarded the transportation service of the public transportation, a location where the traveling speed of the terminal device has exceeded the first threshold value on the basis of the first information and the second information,
• acquires operation information indicating an operation schedule of the public transportation that runs in an operation route including the alighting location and the boarding location,
• identifies the transportation service that the user has boarded on the basis of the departure time, the boarding location, and the operation information,
• determines whether the transportation service that the user has boarded stops at the alighting location on the basis of the transportation service that the user has boarded, the alighting location, and the operation information, and
• provides the user with information indicating that the transportation service that the user has boarded does not stop at the alighting location via the terminal device in a case in which it is determined that the transportation service that the user has boarded does not stop at the alighting location,
• wherein it is determined that the transportation service that the user has boarded stops at the alighting location in a case in which the operation information indicates that the transportation service that the user has boarded stops at the alighting location past the boarding location.

A travel information providing apparatus for providing a user traveling by public transportation with information concerning the travel via a terminal device, the terminal device being capable of acquiring a time and a position,

• wherein the travel information providing apparatus
• acquires, from the terminal device, destination information indicating an alighting location of the user on the public transportation,
• acquires current information from the terminal device, the current information indicating a current time and a position of the terminal device at the current time,
• acquires identification information for identifying a transportation service of the public transportation that the user boards from a transmitter of the public transportation that the user boards,
• acquires operation information indicating an operation schedule of the public transportation,
• determines whether the transportation service that the user boards stops at the alighting location after the current time on the basis of the destination information, the current information, the identification information, and the operation information, and
• provides the user, via the terminal device, information indicating that the transportation service that the user boards does not stop at the alighting location in a case in which it is determined that the transportation service that the user boards does not stop at the alighting location after the current time,
• wherein it is determined that the transportation service that the user boards stops at the alighting location in a case in which the operation information indicates that the transportation service that the user boards stops at the alighting location past the current position.
