Passenger location information system, portable information terminal, and server

A portable information terminal comprising:

• location information acquisition means for acquiring location information on said portable information terminal at a predetermined time interval;
• means for inputting destination information on a trip;
• and
• means for determining a transportation being used by a user of said portable information terminal from the location information on said portable information terminal wherein,
• when predetermined information is input, said portable information terminal moves to a passenger location information providing mode,
• inquires destination information on a trip from user and inputs it,
• automatically determines a transportation line interval in which said portable information terminal is located based on the location information on said portable information terminal and the destination information;
• and
• repeatedly outputs passenger location information, which at least includes information on names of locations constituting the interval, at a predetermined time.

A portable information terminal connectable to a passenger information providing server comprising means for determining a transportation line interval, in which said portable information terminal is located, from location information on said portable information terminal, said portable information terminal comprising:

• location information acquisition means for acquiring location information on said portable information terminal wherein,
• when predetermined information is input, said portable information terminal moves to a passenger location information providing mode,
• sends the location information on said portable information terminal, acquired from said location information acquisition means, to said passenger information providing server at a predetermined time interval and receives a determination result of the transportation line interval in which said portable information terminal is located, and
• repeatedly outputs passenger location information, which at least includes information on names of locations constituting the interval, at a predetermined time, based at least on the determined transportation line interval information and the location information on said portable information terminal acquired repeatedly.
