図1は,本実施形態に係る歩行者用衝突警告システム1を説明する図である。本実施形態に係る歩行者用衝突警告システム1は,歩行者2aの周辺にある自転車3aを検出し,自転車3aと歩行者2aが衝突する危険がある場合には警報を自動的に発するように発案されたシステムで,図1に図示したように,本実施形態に係る歩行者用衝突警告システム1は,自転車3aの検出に用いるアクティブタグ3と,アクティブタグ3と近距離無線通信により通信する歩行者端末2とから少なくとも構成される。   FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a pedestrian collision warning system 1 according to the present embodiment. The pedestrian collision warning system 1 according to the present embodiment detects the bicycle 3a around the pedestrian 2a, and automatically issues an alarm when there is a risk of collision between the bicycle 3a and the pedestrian 2a. In the proposed system, as shown in FIG. 1, the pedestrian collision warning system 1 according to this embodiment communicates with the active tag 3 used for detection of the bicycle 3a and the active tag 3 by short-range wireless communication. It comprises at least a pedestrian terminal 2.

自転車3aの検出に用いるアクティブタグ3は,近距離無線通信により,アクティブタグ3毎に固有なタグIDを含むビーコン信号を定期的に発信する電子デバイスである。アクティブタグ3によって自転車3aを検出できるようにするためには,アクティブタグ3が自転車3aともに移動するようにしなければならず,自転車3aを乗る者が,カード形態のアクティブタグ3を所持する形態も考えられるが,図1では,アクティブタグ3を自転車3aに取り付けている。自転車3aにアクティブタグ3を取り付ける手法としては,自転車3aのライトにアクティブタグ3を埋め込む手法が好適であるが,アクティブタグ3を埋め込んだU字錠(シャックル錠)を用いる形態も想定できる。   The active tag 3 used for detecting the bicycle 3a is an electronic device that periodically transmits a beacon signal including a tag ID unique to each active tag 3 by short-range wireless communication. In order to be able to detect the bicycle 3a by the active tag 3, the active tag 3 must be moved together with the bicycle 3a, and the person who rides the bicycle 3a also possesses the card-type active tag 3 Although considered, the active tag 3 is attached to the bicycle 3a in FIG. As a method of attaching the active tag 3 to the bicycle 3a, a method of embedding the active tag 3 in the light of the bicycle 3a is suitable, but a form using a U-shaped lock (shackle lock) in which the active tag 3 is embedded can also be assumed.

歩行者2aが所持する歩行者端末2は,自転車3aの検出に用いるアクティブタグ3と近距離無線通信により通信し,アクティブタグ3からビーコン信号を受信すると,ビーコン信号を利用して,ビーコン信号を発信したアクティブタグ3と歩行者端末2間の距離を示す指標情報を取得し,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに係る指標情報の時間的な推移によって,アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動していることが示される場合,自転車3aとの衝突の危険を歩行者2aに知らせる警報を発するように構成されたコンピュータ機器である。なお,このようなコンピュータ機器としては,スマートフォンやタブレットコンピュータを用いることができる。   The pedestrian terminal 2 possessed by the pedestrian 2a communicates with the active tag 3 used for detection of the bicycle 3a by short-range wireless communication, and when receiving a beacon signal from the active tag 3, uses the beacon signal to transmit the beacon signal. The index information indicating the distance between the transmitted active tag 3 and the pedestrian terminal 2 is acquired, and the active tag 3 approaches the pedestrian terminal 2 by the temporal transition of the index information related to the tag ID included in the beacon signal. When it is indicated that the vehicle is moving in the direction, the computer device is configured to issue an alarm informing the pedestrian 2a of the danger of a collision with the bicycle 3a. As such a computer device, a smartphone or a tablet computer can be used.

本実施形態に係る歩行者用衝突警告システム1のアクティブタグ3は,図1に図示したように,制御手段30,タグ通信手段31および電力供給手段32を備え,更に,本実施形態に係るアクティブタグ3は,アクティブタグ3の位置を計測するタグ位置計測手段33を備える。   As shown in FIG. 1, the active tag 3 of the pedestrian collision warning system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a control unit 30, a tag communication unit 31, and a power supply unit 32, and further includes an active tag according to the present embodiment. The tag 3 includes tag position measuring means 33 that measures the position of the active tag 3.

アクティブタグ3のタグ通信手段31は,歩行者端末2との近距離無線通信を行うための手段で,近距離無線通信に必要な回路等で構成される。ここで,近距離無線通信とは,無線通信に用いる電波の到達距離が数mから100m程度の通信を意味し,このような近距離無線通信には,Bluetooth(登録商標),ZigBee,WifiおよびNFCなどを利用できるが,消費電力を考慮すると,省電力でBluetooth(登録商標)を行えるようにしたBLEを採用することが望ましい。   The tag communication means 31 of the active tag 3 is a means for performing short-range wireless communication with the pedestrian terminal 2 and is configured by a circuit or the like necessary for short-range wireless communication. Here, short-range wireless communication means communication in which the reach of radio waves used for wireless communication is about several meters to 100 m. Such short-range wireless communication includes Bluetooth (registered trademark), ZigBee, WiFi, and NFC or the like can be used, but considering power consumption, it is desirable to employ BLE that can perform Bluetooth (registered trademark) with low power consumption.

アクティブタグ3の電力供給手段32は,アクティブタグ3が動作するために必要な電力を供給するための手段である。アクティブタグ3が動作するために必要な電力を供給する手段として,アクティブタグ3はバッテリーを内蔵するのが一般的である。なお,自転車3aのライトにアクティブタグ3を埋め込むなどして,自転車3aにアクティブタグ3を取り付ける場合,アクティブタグ3に内蔵させるバッテリーをリチャージタイプとし,自転車3aのライトを点灯させる発電機(例えば,ハブダイナモ)やソーラパネルなどからこのバッテリーに電力を充電できるように構成するとよい。   The power supply means 32 of the active tag 3 is a means for supplying power necessary for the active tag 3 to operate. As a means for supplying power necessary for the active tag 3 to operate, the active tag 3 generally includes a battery. When the active tag 3 is attached to the bicycle 3a by, for example, embedding the active tag 3 in the light of the bicycle 3a, the battery built in the active tag 3 is a recharge type, and a generator that turns on the light of the bicycle 3a (for example, (Hyb Dynamo), solar panel, etc. can be configured to charge this battery.

アクティブタグ3のタグ位置計測手段33は,アクティブタグ3の位置を計測する手段である。位置を計測する様々な手法が既に存在するが,自転車3aは屋外で利用する乗り物であることを考えると,人工衛星の電波を受信して位置を計測するGPSの回路によりタグ位置計測手段33を実現することが望ましい。   The tag position measuring means 33 of the active tag 3 is a means for measuring the position of the active tag 3. Various methods for measuring the position already exist. Considering that the bicycle 3a is a vehicle used outdoors, the tag position measuring means 33 is provided by a GPS circuit that receives the radio waves of the artificial satellite and measures the position. It is desirable to realize.

アクティブタグ3の制御手段30は,CPUやメモリなどを利用して実現される手段で,メモリに記憶されているコンピュータプログラムに従いアクティブタグ3の動作を制御する。本実施形態に係るアクティブタグ3の制御手段30は,アクティブタグ3毎に固有なタグIDを記憶し,タグ通信手段31を利用してビーコン信号を定期的に発信する。   The control means 30 of the active tag 3 is a means realized using a CPU, a memory or the like, and controls the operation of the active tag 3 according to a computer program stored in the memory. The control unit 30 of the active tag 3 according to the present embodiment stores a tag ID unique to each active tag 3 and periodically transmits a beacon signal using the tag communication unit 31.

アクティブタグ3が,所定時間が経過する毎にビーコン信号を発信するように構成することが一般的であるが,リクエスト信号やWakeUP信号など,ある特定の信号の受信を受信した時に,アクティブタグ3がビーコン信号を発信するように構成することもできる。また,アクティブタグ3が発信するビーコン信号には,アクティブタグ3毎に固有なタグIDの他に,アクティブタグ3が計測する情報を含ませることができる。本実施形態のアクティブタグ3は,アクティブタグ3の位置を計測するタグ位置計測手段33を備えているので,アクティブタグ3の制御手段30は,アクティブタグ3毎に固有なタグIDと,ビーコン信号を発信する時の位置情報をビーコン信号に含ませる。   In general, the active tag 3 is configured to transmit a beacon signal every time a predetermined time elapses. However, when the reception of a specific signal such as a request signal or a WakeUP signal is received, the active tag 3 Can be configured to transmit a beacon signal. In addition, the beacon signal transmitted by the active tag 3 can include information measured by the active tag 3 in addition to the tag ID unique to each active tag 3. Since the active tag 3 of the present embodiment includes the tag position measuring unit 33 that measures the position of the active tag 3, the control unit 30 of the active tag 3 has a unique tag ID and beacon signal for each active tag 3. Include location information in the beacon signal when transmitting.

ここから,歩行者用衝突警告システム1に含まれる歩行者端末2について説明する。本実施形態に係る歩行者用衝突警告システム1の歩行者端末2は,図1に図示したように,衝突監視手段20,端末通信手段21および警報手段22を備え,更に,本実施形態に係る歩行者端末2は,歩行者端末2の位置を計測する端末位置計測手段23と,歩行者端末2に加わる3軸方向それぞれの加速度を計測する加速度計測手段24を備える。   From here, the pedestrian terminal 2 included in the pedestrian collision warning system 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the pedestrian terminal 2 of the pedestrian collision warning system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a collision monitoring unit 20, a terminal communication unit 21, and an alarm unit 22, and further relates to the present embodiment. The pedestrian terminal 2 includes a terminal position measuring unit 23 that measures the position of the pedestrian terminal 2 and an acceleration measuring unit 24 that measures accelerations in the three axial directions applied to the pedestrian terminal 2.

歩行者端末2の端末通信手段21は,アクティブタグ3との近距離無線通信を行う手段で,本実施形態の端末通信手段21は,端末通信手段21が受信した信号(ここでは,ビーコン信号になる)の電波強度を計測する機能を備える。当然のことながら,歩行者端末2の端末通信手段21は,アクティブタグ3が備えるタグ通信手段31に対応した手段になり,例えば,アクティブタグ3のタグ通信手段31をBLEで実現する場合,歩行者端末2の端末通信手段21もBLEで実現することになる。   The terminal communication means 21 of the pedestrian terminal 2 is means for performing short-range wireless communication with the active tag 3, and the terminal communication means 21 of the present embodiment is a signal received by the terminal communication means 21 (here, a beacon signal). A function to measure the radio field intensity. Naturally, the terminal communication means 21 of the pedestrian terminal 2 is a means corresponding to the tag communication means 31 included in the active tag 3. For example, when the tag communication means 31 of the active tag 3 is realized by BLE, walking The terminal communication means 21 of the person terminal 2 is also realized by BLE.

歩行者端末2の警報手段22は,自転車3aと衝突する危険があることを歩行者2aに知らせる警報を発する手段である。一般的なスマートフォンは,電子メールの受信などをユーザに通知するために,スピーカ,ディスプレイおよびバイブレーションユニットを備えていることが一般的であるため,これらを歩行者端末2の警報手段22として利用できる。歩行者端末2の警報手段22にスピーカを用いる場合,自転車3aと衝突する危険があることを知らせる合成音声をスピーカから発することになる。また,歩行者端末2の警報手段22にディスプレイを用いる場合,自転車3aと衝突する危険があることを知らせる画面をディスプレイに表示することになる。歩行者端末2の警報手段22にバイブレーションユニットを用いる場合,自転車3aと衝突する危険があることを知らせるバイブレーションパターンをバイブレーションユニットから発することになる。   The warning means 22 of the pedestrian terminal 2 is a means for issuing a warning notifying the pedestrian 2a that there is a danger of colliding with the bicycle 3a. Since a general smartphone generally includes a speaker, a display, and a vibration unit for notifying a user of reception of an e-mail or the like, these can be used as alarm means 22 for the pedestrian terminal 2. . When a speaker is used for the alarm means 22 of the pedestrian terminal 2, a synthesized voice that informs that there is a danger of colliding with the bicycle 3a is emitted from the speaker. Further, when a display is used for the alarm means 22 of the pedestrian terminal 2, a screen informing that there is a danger of colliding with the bicycle 3a is displayed on the display. When a vibration unit is used for the alarm means 22 of the pedestrian terminal 2, a vibration pattern for notifying that there is a danger of colliding with the bicycle 3a is issued from the vibration unit.

歩行者端末2の端末位置計測手段23は,歩行者端末2の位置を計測する手段である。アクティブタグ3のタグ位置計測手段33としては,人工衛星の電波を受信して位置を計測するGPSが好適であると記述したが,スマートフォンの分野では,移動体通信網の中継局を利用して位置を計測する手法が一般的に用いられているため,歩行者端末2の端末位置計測手段23は,この手法で実現するとよい。   The terminal position measuring means 23 of the pedestrian terminal 2 is a means for measuring the position of the pedestrian terminal 2. As the tag position measuring means 33 of the active tag 3, it has been described that GPS that measures the position by receiving radio waves from an artificial satellite is suitable. However, in the smartphone field, a relay station of a mobile communication network is used. Since a method for measuring the position is generally used, the terminal position measuring means 23 of the pedestrian terminal 2 may be realized by this method.

歩行者端末2の加速度計測手段24は,スマートフォンなどに備えられている3次元加速度センサにより実現される手段である。   The acceleration measuring means 24 of the pedestrian terminal 2 is a means realized by a three-dimensional acceleration sensor provided in a smartphone or the like.

歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,歩行者端末2にインストールされるアプリケーションプログラムに実現される機能である。歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,端末通信手段21が受信したビーコン信号を利用して,ビーコン信号を発信したアクティブタグ3と携帯端末間の距離を示す指標情報を得た後,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに係る指標情報の時系列的な推移を確認し,アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近している方向に,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに係る指標情報が推移している場合,警報手段22を作動させて警報を発する動作を行う。   The collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 is a function realized in an application program installed in the pedestrian terminal 2. The collision monitoring unit 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 uses the beacon signal received by the terminal communication unit 21 to obtain index information indicating the distance between the active tag 3 that has transmitted the beacon signal and the portable terminal, and then the beacon signal. The index information related to the tag ID included in the beacon signal is shifted in the direction in which the active tag 3 approaches the pedestrian terminal 2 in the direction in which the index information related to the tag ID included in the If yes, the alarm means 22 is activated to issue an alarm.

アクティブタグ3が定期的にビーコン信号を発信する際,歩行者端末2は,近距離無線通信可能なアクティブタグ3から定期的にビーコン信号を受信することになる。また,アクティブタグ3が,リクエスト信号やWakeUP信号など,ある特定の信号を受信するとビーコン信号を発信する際,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,端末通信手段21を利用して定期的に特定の信号を発信し,近距離無線通信可能なアクティブタグ3から定期的にビーコン信号を受信することになる。   When the active tag 3 periodically transmits a beacon signal, the pedestrian terminal 2 periodically receives the beacon signal from the active tag 3 capable of short-range wireless communication. When the active tag 3 receives a specific signal such as a request signal or a WakeUP signal and transmits a beacon signal, the collision monitoring unit 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 periodically uses the terminal communication unit 21 to transmit the beacon signal. A specific signal is transmitted and a beacon signal is periodically received from the active tag 3 capable of short-range wireless communication.

また,本実施形態に係る歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,指標情報の時系列的な推移がわかるように,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに関連付けて,ビーコン信号から得られた指標情報を時系列でメモリに蓄積し,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに関連付けられた指標情報の大きさの時系列的な変化を解析することで,アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動しているか否かを判定する。   Further, the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 according to the present embodiment associates the index information obtained from the beacon signal with the tag ID included in the beacon signal so that the time-series transition of the index information can be understood. Are stored in the memory in time series, and the active tag 3 approaches the pedestrian terminal 2 by analyzing the time series change in the size of the index information associated with the tag ID included in the beacon signal. It is determined whether or not it is moving.

ビーコン信号を発信したアクティブタグ3と歩行者端末2間の距離を示す指標情報としては,アクティブタグ3が発信したビーコン信号の電波強度を用いることもできるし,また,アクティブタグ3が発信したビーコン信号に含まれる位置情報から指標情報を算出することもできる。   As the index information indicating the distance between the active tag 3 that transmitted the beacon signal and the pedestrian terminal 2, the radio wave intensity of the beacon signal transmitted by the active tag 3 can be used, and the beacon transmitted by the active tag 3 can be used. The index information can also be calculated from the position information included in the signal.

アクティブタグ3が発信したビーコン信号の電波強度を指標情報に用いる場合,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,ビーコン信号の電波強度を指標情報として取り扱うことになる。アクティブタグ3が発信するビーコン信号の電波強度は,アクティブタグ3と歩行者端末2間の距離が長くなると減衰するため,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,ビーコン信号の電波強度が時系列で大きくなると,ビーコン信号を発したアクティブタグ3が歩行者2aに接近していると判定し,ビーコン信号の電波強度が閾値以上の場合,警報手段22を作動させて警報を発する。   When the radio wave intensity of the beacon signal transmitted from the active tag 3 is used as index information, the collision monitoring unit 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 handles the radio wave intensity of the beacon signal as index information. Since the radio field intensity of the beacon signal transmitted from the active tag 3 is attenuated as the distance between the active tag 3 and the pedestrian terminal 2 increases, the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 determines that the radio field intensity of the beacon signal is time-series. If it becomes larger, the active tag 3 that issued the beacon signal is determined to be approaching the pedestrian 2a, and when the radio wave intensity of the beacon signal is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the alarm means 22 is activated to issue an alarm.

また,アクティブタグ3が発信したビーコン信号に含まれる位置情報から指標情報を算出する場合,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,歩行者端末2の端末位置計測手段23から,ビーコン信号を受信した時の位置情報を取得し,ビーコン信号に含まれる位置情報と歩行者端末2の端末位置計測手段23から取得した位置情報間の距離を指標情報として算出する。この場合,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,ビーコン信号に含まれる位置情報から算出した指標情報が時系列で小さくなると,アクティブタグ3が歩行者2aに接近していると判定し,更に,ビーコン信号に含まれる位置情報から算出した指標情報が閾値以下の場合,警報手段22を作動させて警報を発する。   In addition, when calculating the index information from the position information included in the beacon signal transmitted by the active tag 3, the collision monitoring unit 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 receives the beacon signal from the terminal position measuring unit 23 of the pedestrian terminal 2. The position information is acquired, and the distance between the position information included in the beacon signal and the position information acquired from the terminal position measuring means 23 of the pedestrian terminal 2 is calculated as index information. In this case, the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 determines that the active tag 3 is approaching the pedestrian 2a when the index information calculated from the position information included in the beacon signal decreases in time series, When the index information calculated from the position information included in the beacon signal is less than or equal to the threshold value, the alarm means 22 is activated to issue an alarm.

ビーコン信号を発信したアクティブタグ3と歩行者端末2間の距離は,ビーコン信号に含まれる位置情報と歩行者端末2の端末位置計測手段23から取得した位置情報間を結ぶ直線距離でもよいが,アクティブタグ3と歩行者端末2間に建屋などの障害物があると,直線距離が短くても,自転車3aと歩行者2aは衝突する危険はないため,ビーコン信号に含まれる位置情報から歩行者端末2の位置情報までの道順に対応する道路距離を算出することがより好適である。なお,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20が道路距離を算出する機能を有さなくとも,地図サービスやナビゲーションサービスを利用することで道路距離を得ることができる。   The distance between the active tag 3 that transmitted the beacon signal and the pedestrian terminal 2 may be a linear distance between the position information included in the beacon signal and the position information acquired from the terminal position measuring means 23 of the pedestrian terminal 2. If there is an obstacle such as a building between the active tag 3 and the pedestrian terminal 2, there is no danger that the bicycle 3a and the pedestrian 2a will collide even if the straight distance is short. It is more preferable to calculate the road distance corresponding to the route to the location information of the terminal 2. Even if the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 does not have a function of calculating the road distance, the road distance can be obtained by using the map service or the navigation service.

ここから,本実施形態に係る歩行者端末2が警報を発する時の動作について説明する。図2は,歩行者端末2の動作を説明する第1図で,アクティブタグ3が発信したビーコン信号の電波強度を指標情報に用いるときの動作を説明する図である。   From here, operation | movement when the pedestrian terminal 2 which concerns on this embodiment issues a warning is demonstrated. FIG. 2 is a first diagram for explaining the operation of the pedestrian terminal 2, and is a diagram for explaining the operation when the radio wave intensity of the beacon signal transmitted from the active tag 3 is used as index information.

アクティブタグ3の制御手段30は,所定時間の経過や,リクエスト信号やWakeUP信号の受信など,ビーコン信号を発信する条件が成立すると,タグ通信手段31を利用して,制御手段30が記憶しているタグIDを含ませたビーコン信号を近距離無線通信により発信し,歩行者端末2の端末通信手段21が,タグIDを含むビーコン信号を受信すると(S1),歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDと,ビーコン信号の電波強度を端末通信手段21から取得し,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに関連付けて,ビーコン信号から得られた電波強度を時系列でメモリに記憶する(S2)。   The control means 30 of the active tag 3 is stored in the control means 30 using the tag communication means 31 when conditions for transmitting a beacon signal such as elapse of a predetermined time or reception of a request signal or a WakeUP signal are established. When the beacon signal including the tag ID is transmitted by short-range wireless communication and the terminal communication unit 21 of the pedestrian terminal 2 receives the beacon signal including the tag ID (S1), the collision monitoring unit of the pedestrian terminal 2 20 acquires the tag ID included in the beacon signal and the radio wave intensity of the beacon signal from the terminal communication means 21, and stores the radio wave intensity obtained from the beacon signal in time series in association with the tag ID included in the beacon signal. (S2).

次に,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに関連付けられた電波強度の大きさの時系列的な変化から,アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動しているか否かを判定する(S3)。具体的には,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに関連付けられた電波強度が時系列で大きくなっている場合,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動していると判定する。   Next, the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 determines the direction in which the active tag 3 approaches the pedestrian terminal 2 from the time-series change in the magnitude of the radio wave intensity associated with the tag ID included in the beacon signal. It is determined whether it has moved to (S3). Specifically, when the radio wave intensity associated with the tag ID included in the beacon signal increases in time series, the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 causes the active tag 3 to approach the pedestrian terminal 2. It is determined that it is moving in the direction.

アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動していないと判定すると,歩行者端末2の動作は最初のステップS1に戻る。また,アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動していると判定すると,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,今回のビーコン信号の電波強度が閾値以上であるか確認し(S4),電波強度が閾値以上でなければ,最初のステップS1に戻り,電波強度が閾値以上であれば,警報手段22を作動させて警報を発する動作を行い(S5),この手順は終了する。   If it determines with the active tag 3 not moving to the direction which approaches the pedestrian terminal 2, operation | movement of the pedestrian terminal 2 will return to the first step S1. If it is determined that the active tag 3 is moving in the direction approaching the pedestrian terminal 2, the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 checks whether the radio wave intensity of the current beacon signal is equal to or greater than the threshold ( S4) If the field intensity is not greater than or equal to the threshold value, the process returns to the first step S1. .

図5は,歩行者端末2の動作を説明する第2図で,アクティブタグ3が発信したビーコン信号に含まれる位置情報から指標情報を算出するときの動作を説明する図である。   FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the pedestrian terminal 2 and for explaining the operation when the index information is calculated from the position information included in the beacon signal transmitted by the active tag 3.

アクティブタグ3の制御手段30は,所定時間の経過や,リクエスト信号やWakeUP信号の受信など,ビーコン信号を発信する条件が成立すると,タグ通信手段31を利用して,制御手段30が記憶しているタグIDとタグ位置計測手段33から取得した位置情報を含ませたビーコン信号を近距離無線通信により発信し,歩行者端末2の端末通信手段21が,タグIDと位置情報を含むビーコン信号を受信すると(S10),歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,タグIDと位置情報をビーコン信号から取得する(S11)。   The control means 30 of the active tag 3 is stored in the control means 30 using the tag communication means 31 when conditions for transmitting a beacon signal such as elapse of a predetermined time or reception of a request signal or a WakeUP signal are established. The beacon signal including the tag ID and the position information acquired from the tag position measuring unit 33 is transmitted by short-range wireless communication, and the terminal communication unit 21 of the pedestrian terminal 2 transmits the beacon signal including the tag ID and the position information. When receiving (S10), the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 acquires the tag ID and the position information from the beacon signal (S11).

次に,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,歩行者端末2の端末位置計測手段23から,この時点の位置情報を取得し(S12),ビーコン信号を発信したアクティブタグ3と歩行者端末2間の距離を指標情報として算出し,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに関連付けてこの距離を時系列でメモリに記憶する(S13)。なお,上述しているように,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20が算出する距離は,直線距離でもよいが,道路距離とすることもできる。   Next, the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 acquires the position information at this time from the terminal position measuring means 23 of the pedestrian terminal 2 (S12), and the active tag 3 and the pedestrian terminal that transmitted the beacon signal. The distance between the two is calculated as index information, and this distance is stored in the memory in time series in association with the tag ID included in the beacon signal (S13). As described above, the distance calculated by the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 may be a linear distance or a road distance.

次に,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに関連付けられた距離の大きさの時系列的な変化から,アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動しているか否かを判定する(S14)。具体的には,ビーコン信号に含まれるタグIDに関連付けられた距離が時系列で小さくなっている場合,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動していると判定する。   Next, the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 moves in a direction in which the active tag 3 approaches the pedestrian terminal 2 from a time-series change in the magnitude of the distance associated with the tag ID included in the beacon signal. It is determined whether or not it is moving (S14). Specifically, when the distance associated with the tag ID included in the beacon signal is reduced in time series, the collision monitoring unit 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 is configured so that the active tag 3 approaches the pedestrian terminal 2. It is determined that it has moved to.

アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動していないと判定すると,歩行者端末2の動作は最初のステップS10に戻る。また,アクティブタグ3が歩行者端末2に接近する方向に移動していると判定すると,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,今回のビーコン信号から得られた距離が閾値以下であるか確認し(S15),電波強度が閾値以下でなければ,最初のステップS10に戻り,距離が閾値以下であれば,警報手段22を作動させて警報を発する動作を行い(S16),この手順は終了する。   If it determines with the active tag 3 not moving to the direction which approaches the pedestrian terminal 2, operation | movement of the pedestrian terminal 2 will return to the first step S10. If it is determined that the active tag 3 is moving in the direction approaching the pedestrian terminal 2, the collision monitoring means 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 confirms whether the distance obtained from the current beacon signal is equal to or less than the threshold value. If the radio field intensity is not below the threshold value, the process returns to the first step S10. If the distance is below the threshold value, the alarm means 22 is activated to issue an alarm (S16), and this procedure ends. To do.

なお,本実施形態に係る歩行者端末2は,3軸方向それぞれの加速度を計測する加速度計測手段24を備えているため,加速度計測手段24が計測する加速度から歩行者端末2の進行方向を特定した後,端末位置計測手段23から取得した位置情報とビーコン信号の位置情報を利用して,歩行者端末2の進行方向を基準とした時のアクティブタグ3の相対方向を求め,アクティブタグ3の相対方向に応じて,警報手段22を利用して発する警報を変更するように構成できる。   In addition, since the pedestrian terminal 2 according to the present embodiment includes the acceleration measurement unit 24 that measures the acceleration in each of the three axial directions, the traveling direction of the pedestrian terminal 2 is specified from the acceleration measured by the acceleration measurement unit 24. After that, by using the position information acquired from the terminal position measuring means 23 and the position information of the beacon signal, the relative direction of the active tag 3 with respect to the traveling direction of the pedestrian terminal 2 is obtained. Depending on the relative direction, the alarm issued using the alarm means 22 can be changed.

この場合,歩行者端末2の衝突監視手段20は,加速度計測手段24から加速度を定期的に取得して,歩行者端末2の進行方向を特定する。歩行者端末2の位置は,端末位置計測手段23から取得した位置情報になるため,歩行者端末2の位置からビーコン信号の位置情報に向かう方向と歩行者端末2の進行方向から,歩行者端末2の進行方向を基準とした時のアクティブタグ3の相対方向を求めることができる。なお,歩行者端末2の進行方向に対して前方にある自転車3aは,歩行者2aが目視で確認できるため,歩行者端末2の進行方向を基準とした時のアクティブタグ3の相対方向が歩行者端末2の進行方向の前方以外の場合,警報手段22を利用して警報を発するようにするとよい。   In this case, the collision monitoring unit 20 of the pedestrian terminal 2 periodically acquires acceleration from the acceleration measuring unit 24 and specifies the traveling direction of the pedestrian terminal 2. Since the position of the pedestrian terminal 2 is the position information acquired from the terminal position measuring means 23, the pedestrian terminal is determined from the direction from the position of the pedestrian terminal 2 to the position information of the beacon signal and the traveling direction of the pedestrian terminal 2. The relative direction of the active tag 3 when the traveling direction of 2 is used as a reference can be obtained. In addition, since the bicycle 3a ahead of the traveling direction of the pedestrian terminal 2 can be visually confirmed by the pedestrian 2a, the relative direction of the active tag 3 with respect to the traveling direction of the pedestrian terminal 2 is walking. When the person terminal 2 is not in front of the traveling direction, the alarm means 22 may be used to issue an alarm.
