  6. After a user boards the bus, if a communication connection is established with the user's user terminal device, the bus identification information, boarding time, and alighting time of the bus used by the user are obtained. By comparing the acquired bus identification information, boarding time, and alighting time with the passing times for each predetermined passing location in the operation status information provided by the bus location system, the boarding and alighting locations of the user corresponding to the boarding and alighting times are identified. A payment request for the usage fee calculated according to the identified boarding and alighting locations is sent to a designated electronic payment server . An information processing method in which a computer performs a process to output to the user's user terminal device the current fare calculated based on the user's boarding location and the latest passing location in the operation status information while the user is riding the bus.
  7. After a user boards the bus, if a communication connection is established with the user's user terminal device, the acquisition unit acquires the bus identification information, boarding time, and alighting time of the bus used by the user. An identification unit identifies the boarding and alighting locations of the user corresponding to the boarding and alighting times by comparing the acquired bus identification information, boarding time, and alighting time with the passing times for each predetermined passing location in the operation status information provided by the bus location system, which includes the passing times for each predetermined passing location of the bus. A calculation unit that sends a payment request for the usage fee calculated according to the identified boarding and alighting locations to a predetermined electronic payment server , An information processing device comprising: an output unit that outputs to the user's user terminal device the current fare calculated based on the user's boarding location and the latest passing location in the operational status information while the user is riding the bus.
  8. The bus identification information of the bus is obtained via short-range wireless communication from a short-range wireless communication tag installed on the bus used by the passenger. The acquired bus identification information and the boarding and alighting times corresponding to the time the bus identification information was acquired are stored in the storage unit. When a communication connection with the information processing device is established, the bus identification information, boarding time, and alighting time stored in the storage unit are transmitted to the information processing device. The system obtains the payment result by a predetermined electronic payment method for the fare corresponding to the boarding and alighting locations , which is determined by comparing the transmitted bus identification information, boarding time, and alighting time with the passing time for each predetermined passing location in the operational status information provided by the bus location system, which includes the passing time for each predetermined passing location on the bus. While the user is on board the bus, the current fare is obtained, calculated based on the boarding location and the latest passing location in the operational status information. A program that causes a computer to perform the process of displaying the current usage fee that has been retrieved.
  9. The program according to claim 8, which generates a boarding flag by obtaining bus identification information from a first short-range wireless communication tag installed on the bus, and generates a disembarking flag by obtaining bus identification information from a second short-range wireless communication tag installed on the bus.
  10. The program according to claim 8 or 9, wherein the bus identification information is acquired by a short-range wireless communication unit provided in the user terminal device of the user.

In recent years, electronic payment using so-called electronic money has become widely used as a method of settling fares for transportation systems. Users can pay fares using electronic money by holding an IC card containing electronic money information, a smartphone, or other device over a ticket gate at a train station or an on-board device inside a bus. In such payment systems, when processing fare payments for users using ticket gates or on-board devices, the information on IC cards, etc., is read by the reader unit of the ticket gate or on-board device, and electronic payment for the predetermined fare is made (for example, Patent Document 1).
