Abstract: A mobile terminal that can be utilized for a checkpoint management system performs contactless electric communication with a reader/writer device for a passive RFID tag. An application processing unit cooperates with an application server through electronic communication. A position information acquisition unit acquires current position information of the mobile terminal. A terminal controller or a RFID tag processing unit receives a signal related to a carrier wave or a command emitted from the reader/writer device which results in a trigger that causes the application processing unit to operate. The application processing unit acquires from the mobile terminal personal information and chronologic information. The application processing unit further transmits the information to the application server together with current position information.

Abstract: An information acquiring apparatus acquires, when a travel object such as a traveler travels with transportation, passage time at which the travel object passes through each passage point at a departure/arrival facility, transportation specifying information indicating transportation, situation information indicating a situation and so forth. The travel process prediction apparatus stores the acquired information in an associated manner, and obtains a regression equation representing the relationship between items included in the transportation specifying information or situation information and passage time at a specific passage point, elapsed time while the travel object passes through two specific passage points or a result of comparison between the passage time and boarding completion time.

Abstract: The travel situation detection system specifies passage time at a check machine when a traveler or baggage passes through a passage point on a travel pathway at an airport, compares the passage time or passage period elapsed between two passage points with a mean value, and notifies the traveler or a worker of the comparison result by using the check machine or a terminal device. If the passage time or passage period is later or longer than the mean value, the traveler can rush to move while the worker who conveys baggage can be in hurry conveying the baggage. The travel situation detection system can further notify a waiting person or the like of the travel situation of the traveler by using the terminal device or a mobile terminal device. This allows the waiting person to understand the travel situation of the traveler.
