Claims (2)

A destination information acquisition unit that acquires destination information indicating the location of the user's destination, A destination estimation unit estimates the location of the estimated destination to be visited by the user based on the destination information, A parking information acquisition unit that acquires parking information indicating the location of a parking lot, The system includes a parking determination unit that determines the parking lot to recommend to the user based on movement along a route including the location of the destination indicated by the destination information, the location of the estimated place to visit, and the location of the parking lot indicated by the parking lot information , The parking location determination unit acquires candidate routes, which are candidate sequences in which the user will visit the destination and the estimated destination, based on the location of the estimated destination estimated by the destination estimation unit. The aforementioned parking lot determination unit is, We obtain route information showing the routes taken by people who have previously visited the aforementioned destination. Based on the aforementioned route information, an index value indicating the degree to which the user selects a route is obtained for each of the multiple candidate routes. Based on the acquired indicator values, a decision regarding the parking lot is made. Parking recommendation system.
The parking lot determination unit makes a decision regarding the parking lot based on the location of the destination, the location of the estimated place to visit, and the distance of the route including the location of the parking lot. The parking lot recommendation system according to claim 1.

Description

This disclosure relates to a parking recommendation system. Conventionally, a parking recommendation system described in Patent Document 1 exists as a system that guides users to recommended parking lots. This parking recommendation system searches for a route from the starting point to the destination, identifies intermediate facilities along the searched route, and identifies multiple parking lots located near the identified intermediate facilities. From among the identified multiple parking lots, this parking recommendation system selects a parking lot as a recommended parking lot, taking into account the time required to park, the time required for the user to arrive at the intermediate facility after parking, and the time that may be caused by traffic congestion, etc. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2012-202920 This figure shows the configuration of the parking lot recommendation system according to the embodiment of this disclosure.This diagram shows a schematic representation of the relative locations of the destination, estimated places of visit, and parking area.This figure shows examples of tables stored in the POI database, parking database, and visitor database.This figure shows an example of a method for generating an estimated visitor database.This figure shows an example of a method for generating a selection probability database.This diagram shows an example of how recommended parking spaces are displayed.This flowchart shows an example of the operation of the parking recommendation system according to the embodiment of this disclosure.This figure shows the hardware configuration of the parking recommendation system according to the embodiment of this disclosure. The embodiments of the parking lot recommendation system described herein will be explained in detail below, along with the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted. Figure 1 shows the parking recommendation system 1 according to this embodiment. The parking recommendation system 1 recommends parking lots to the user. For example, the parking recommendation system 1 presents parking lots to the user. The user is, for example, a person who is recommended a parking lot by using the parking recommendation system 1. A parking lot refers to a place where vehicles can be parked. In this embodiment, a parking lot includes a bicycle parking area where bicycles can be parked. A parking lot is not necessarily limited to a place used solely for the purpose of parking vehicles; for example, it may be a place located near a commercial facility such as a convenience store where vehicles can be parked. The parking lot recommendation system 1 is composed of a computer such as a PC (personal computer) or server device with communication capabilities. The parking lot recommendation system 1 may be composed of multiple computers, i.e., a computer system. The parking lot recommendation system 1 can send and receive information with the user terminal 2 via a network such as a mobile communication network. User terminal 2 is a terminal used by the user. User terminal 2 is, for example, a smartphone or tablet terminal carried by the user and is used to recommend parking lots to the user. User terminal 2 may also be, for example, an in-vehicle terminal installed in the vehicle the user is riding in and included in a car navigation system. User terminal 2 may also be a terminal similar to conventional user terminals. User terminal 2 receives destination information from the user, for example, indicating the location of the user's destination. The destination refers to, for example, the place the user wishes to arrive at. User terminal 2 transmits the destination information entered by the user to the parking recommendation system 1. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the relative positions of destination M, estimated destination S, and parking lot P. For example, estimated destination S and parking lot P are located around destination M. Estimated destination S is a place that is presumed to be visited by someone visiting destination M. For example, if the user's destination M is a tourist spot such as a temple, estimated destination S would be another tourist spot related to that tourist spot. While using a single parking lot P, a user may visit not only their destination M but also estimated destinations S that are different from destination M. Therefore, when recommending a parking lot P to a user, it is desirable to consider the possibility of visiting both destination M and estimated destinations S. The parking lot recommendation system 1 according to this embodiment has the configuration described below in order to solve this problem. Next, the functions of the parking recommendation system 1 according to this embodiment will be described. As shown in Figure 1, the parking recommendation system 1 comprises a destination information ac
