The wheel lock device 108 is operated in conjunction with the alarm device 107 and the wheel lock release device 109.
The bicycle is locked when the bicycle 101 provided with this device is stopped by performing authentication with the finger vein authentication device 104. When a user who has performed user registration in advance with the finger vein authentication device 104 performs individual authentication with finger veins in the unlocked state of the bicycle and is authenticated as a registered user, A lock execution confirmation screen 201 as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the small touch panel display 105.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart when the “Yes” button 202 or the “No” button 203 is touched on the lock execution confirmation screen 201 displayed on the small touch panel display 105. A lock execution confirmation screen 201 is displayed on the small touch panel display 105 (step 301). If the “NO” button 203 is touched, the process is terminated without performing the bicycle lock process (step 302). On the other hand, when the “Yes” button 202 is touched, the GPS device 103 communicates with the artificial satellite 111 to acquire current bicycle position information (steps 302 and 303). Next, the wheel lock device 108 locks the wheel (step 304). Finally, the wireless communication device 106 transmits bicycle lock information to the information processing host system 112 (step 305).

FIG. 4 shows a frame configuration diagram of the bicycle lock information transmitted to the information processing host system 112 in step 305 of FIG. A bicycle lock information frame 401 which is a frame configuration diagram (a) is a frame configuration diagram of lock information. Bicycle identification information 403, which is information that can uniquely identify the bicycle that transmitted this information and its device, with a lock information transmission command 402 for notifying that the data to be transmitted is lock information at the head of the frame, GPS The frame is composed of bicycle position information 404, which is position information acquired from the artificial satellite 111 by the apparatus 103, and user information 405 that uniquely identifies a registered user identified by individual authentication by finger vein authentication.
The information processing host system 112 that is the transmission destination of the bicycle lock information frame 401 includes a wireless communication device 113, a determination logic 114, a search processing unit 115, an update processing unit 116, and a database device 117 that stores a database in a storage device. .
The wireless communication device 113 receives the bicycle lock information frame 401 transmitted from the wireless communication device 106 of the bicycle installation device 102, passes the information extracted from the bicycle lock information frame 401 to the determination logic 114, and performs determination processing by the determination logic 114. Start up.

  FIG. 5 shows part of the determination process performed by the determination logic 114. The determination logic 114 determines that the activation trigger is information reception of the wireless communication device (steps 501 and 502). Next, the lock information transmission command 402 which is information constituting the head of the bicycle lock information frame 401 delivered from the wireless communication device 113 is confirmed as the received wireless communication command type (step 503). Since the content of the command type is the lock information transmission command 402, the determination logic selects to register the lock information in the database as a process to be executed (steps 504 and 505).

The determination logic 114 that has performed the above determination includes information (bicycle identification information 403, bicycle position information 404, user information) that constitutes the bicycle lock information frame 401 in the update processing unit 116 in order to register the lock information in the database device 117. Information 405) is passed to start the process. The update processing unit 116 registers lock information in the database apparatus 117 based on the received information. The database device 117 holds information as shown in FIG. 6 as an information record. A value transmitted as the bicycle identification information 403 is set in the unique identification information 601 of the bicycle, that the bicycle is locked is set in the lock information 602 of the bicycle, and the user information 603 when the bicycle is locked is the user. The value transmitted as the information 405 is set, the value transmitted as the bicycle position information 404 is set in the current position information 605 of the bicycle, and the wireless communication device 113 from the wireless communication device 106 at the lock start time 606 of the bicycle. The system time at which the transmitted bicycle lock information frame 401 is received is set, an information record to be registered in the database device 117 is created, and the update processing unit 116 performs registration.
In the bicycle locked by the wheel lock device 108, the GPS device 103 acquires the current position information from the artificial satellite 111 once every 20 minutes, and the information is sent from the wireless communication device 106 to the information processing host system 112 as regular position information. Send to.

  A periodic position information frame 411 which is the frame structure diagram (b) of FIG. 4 is a frame structure diagram of the periodic position information. Bicycle identification information 413, which is information that can uniquely identify the bicycle that transmitted this information and its apparatus, with a periodic position information transmission command 412 for notifying that the data to be transmitted is periodic position information at the beginning of the frame. The frame is composed of bicycle position information 414 that is position information acquired by the GPS device 103 from the artificial satellite 111.

The wireless communication device 113 receives the periodic position information frame 411 transmitted from the wireless communication device 106 of the bicycle installation device 102, passes the information extracted from the periodic position information frame 411 to the determination logic 114, and performs determination processing by the determination logic 114. Start up.
The determination logic 114 determines that the activation trigger is information reception of the wireless communication device (steps 501 and 502). Next, a periodic position information transmission command 412 that is information constituting the head of the periodic position information frame 411 delivered from the wireless communication apparatus 113 is confirmed as the command type of the received wireless communication (step 503). Since the content of the command type is the regular position information transmission command 412, the determination logic determines that the comparison between the position information of the database and the position information of the wireless communication is a process to be performed next (steps 504 and 506).

  FIG. 7 shows a determination process for comparing the position information of the database and the position information of the wireless communication determined as the next process to be executed in step 506. This process is performed by the determination logic 114 after step 506. The determination logic 114 calls the search processing unit 115 to acquire information registered in the database device 117. The specific condition of the information record to be acquired is that the unique specific information 601 of the bicycle matches the bicycle identification information 413 of the regular position information frame 411 and the bicycle lock information 602 is locked (step 701).

  Next, the bicycle current position information 605 in the information record acquired from the database device 117 is compared with the value of the bicycle position information 414 in the regular position information frame 411 (step 702). When the comparison results in the same value, the information of the record acquired by the search processing unit 115 is passed to the update processing unit 116, and the wireless communication device 113 is transmitted from the wireless communication device 106 at the previous regular position information transmission time 607. The system time at which the periodic position information frame 411 is received is set to update the information record (steps 703 and 704). If the comparison result does not indicate the same value, it is determined that the bicycle 101 has been stolen without being unlocked and carried to another location, and therefore the update processing unit 116 stores the record information acquired by the search processing unit 115. The system time when the wireless communication apparatus 113 received the periodic position information frame 411 transmitted from the wireless communication apparatus 106 at the previous periodic position information transmission time 607 is set, and the periodic position information frame 411 is set in the abnormal position information 609 of the bicycle. The bicycle position information 414 is set to update the information record (steps 703 and 705). The wireless communication device 113 transmits an alarm ringing notification to the bicycle 101 (determined from the bicycle identification information 413) that has transmitted the periodic position information frame 411 (step 706).

The alarm ringing notification transmitted from the wireless communication device 113 of the information processing host system 112 is received by the bicycle installation device 102 of the bicycle 101 by the wireless communication device 106. Receiving the alarm sounding notification, the bicycle setting device 102 sounds the alarm device 107 to inform the surroundings that the bicycle 101 has been stolen.
The unlocking of the bicycle 101 is also performed by authenticating the finger vein authentication device 104. When a user who has performed user registration in advance with the finger vein authentication device 104 performs individual authentication with the finger vein in a locked state of the bicycle and is authenticated as a registered user, An unlock confirmation screen 801 as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the touch panel display 105.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart when the “Yes” button 802 or the “No” button 803 is touched on the unlocking confirmation screen 801 displayed on the small touch panel display 105. A lock execution confirmation screen 801 is displayed on the small touch panel display 105 (step 901). If the “NO” button 803 is touched, the bicycle is not locked, and the processing is terminated as it is (step 902). On the other hand, when the “Yes” button 802 is touched, the wheel unlocking device 109 unlocks the wheel (steps 902 and 903). Finally, bicycle unlock information is transmitted to the information processing host system 112 by the wireless communication device 106 (step 904).

The bicycle unlock information frame 421 shown in the frame configuration diagram (c) of FIG. 4 is a frame configuration diagram of the unlock information. Bicycle identification information 423, which is information that can uniquely identify the bicycle that transmitted this information and its device, with an unlock information transmission command 422 for notifying that the data to be transmitted is unlock information at the beginning of the frame. The frame is composed of user information 424 that uniquely specifies a registered user specified by individual authentication in finger vein authentication.
The wireless communication device 113 receives the bicycle unlock information frame 421 transmitted from the wireless communication device 106 of the bicycle installation device 102, passes the information extracted from the bicycle unlock information frame 421 to the determination logic 114, and uses the determination logic 114. Starts the judgment process.

  The determination logic 114 determines that the activation trigger is information reception of the wireless communication device 113 (step 501 and step 502). Next, the lock release information transmission command 422 that is information constituting the head of the bicycle unlock information frame 421 delivered from the wireless communication device 113 is confirmed as the command type of the received wireless communication (step 503). Since the content of the command type is the lock release information transmission command 422, the determination logic selects to update the lock information registered in the database with the lock release information as a process to be executed (steps 504 and 507).

  The determination logic 114 that has performed the determination calls the search processing unit 115 to acquire the lock information registered in the database device 117. The specific condition of the information record to be acquired is that the unique specific information 601 of the bicycle matches the bicycle identification information 423 of the bicycle unlock information frame 421 and the bicycle lock information 602 is locked. The record information acquired by the search processing unit 115 is passed to the update processing unit 116, the value transmitted as the user information 424 is set in the user information 604 when the bicycle lock is released, and the lock information 602 of the bicycle is locked. The information is updated by setting the system time at which the wireless communication device 113 has received the bicycle unlock information frame 421 transmitted from the wireless communication device 106 at the bicycle unlock time 608. The role of the acquired information record as bicycle lock information is completed.

As an anti-theft function to be held as a bicycle installation device 102 alone, when the lock by the wheel lock device 108 is released by a method other than the lock release device 109 (physical destruction, etc.), the alarm device 107 is sounded and A mechanism for notifying that the bicycle 101 has been stolen is also provided. As a result, an early detection function against theft by physical destruction of the lock and a deterrence of theft prevention by the function itself are provided.
The information processing host system 112 also periodically starts the determination logic 114 (every 10 minutes) in order to detect a bicycle in which some problem has occurred after the lock setting. The determination logic 114 determines that the activation trigger is not information reception of the wireless communication device 113 (step 501 and step 502). Since the activation trigger is not the information reception of the wireless communication device 113, the determination logic 114 determines the notification interval confirmation of the periodic position information transmission command as a process to be performed next (step 508).

  FIG. 10 shows the periodic interval information transmission command notification interval confirmation process determined as the next process to be executed in step 508. This process is performed by the determination logic 114 after step 508. The determination logic 114 calls the search processing unit 115 to acquire information registered in the database device 117. The specific condition of the information record to be acquired is that the bicycle lock information 602 is locked (step 1001). Next, the previous periodic position information transmission time 607 of the information record acquired from the database device 117 is compared with the value of the current system time (step 1002). If the difference in time as a result of the comparison is within 25 minutes, no particular processing is required (step 1003). If the time difference exceeds 25 minutes as a result of the comparison, the periodic position information has not been transmitted for some reason, so it is determined that the bicycle may be stolen, and the wireless communication device 113 acquires the information record. The alarm ringing notification is transmitted to the bicycle 101 specified by the unique identification information 601 of the bicycle (step 1004).

In the case of sending an alarm ringing notification by registering the e-mail address of the authorized user of the bicycle in the form associated with the information record shown in FIG. 6, it is stolen instead of the alarm ringing notification or simultaneously with the alarm ringing notification. Incorporating a mechanism for transmitting generated mail to a mail receiving device such as a personal computer or a portable terminal is also assumed as one form of this system.
In addition, even when the bicycle 101 shown in FIG. 1 is changed to an automobile or a motorcycle as another moving means, the mechanism of the present system can be effectively functioned, so it is assumed as one form of the present system.

As described above, according to the bicycle antitheft system and the mobile means antitheft system using finger vein authentication and GPS according to the present embodiment, the following effects are obtained.
(1) For bicycles with this device installed, the bicycle lock can be unlocked by unauthorized users by setting and releasing the bicycle lock using a highly specific finger vein authentication device. Can be prevented.
(2) By sounding an alarm when the bicycle lock is physically broken, it becomes a countermeasure against theft by the physical destruction of the lock, and at the same time serves as a deterrent against such theft.
(3) If you try to take your bicycle away using a vehicle or other means of transportation without unlocking it, it will be stolen by determining if it is stolen from the location information and sounding an alarm. At the same time, it becomes a deterrent to such theft.
