<First Embodiment>
A billing processing device, a vehicle, and a toll collection system including these according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG.

(Overall configuration of toll collection system)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a toll collection system according to the first embodiment.
The toll collection system 9 according to the present embodiment communicates with the user A of the railway system with the smartphone 3 possessed by the user A (one aspect of the “portable terminal device” carried by the user A). It is a system that communicates and automatically performs appropriate toll collection processing.

The toll collection system 9 has a vehicle 1, a charging processing device 2, and a database DB.
In this embodiment, the vehicle 1 is a railway vehicle that constitutes a railway system. However, in other embodiments, the vehicle 1 may be a guide rail type AGT (Automated Guideway Transit) or the like, an LRT (Light Rail Transit), a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) or the like.
The billing processing device 2 performs billing processing by communicating with the smartphone 3 possessed by the user A of the railway system.
The database DB is a database in which a fare table or the like in which a fare for each section of the railway system is determined is recorded.

A configuration of the vehicle 1 will be described in detail.
The vehicle 1 includes a pressure detection sensor 10 and a beacon 11 on the floor near the doorway D inside the vehicle body.

The pressure detection sensor 10 detects whether or not the user A has reached the vicinity of the doorway D inside the vehicle body due to the pressure of the user A's foot. The press detection sensor 10 is one aspect of a human detection sensor (human sensor), and other embodiments are not limited to this aspect. The human sensor in other embodiments may be of any form as long as it can detect the presence of the user A arriving near the doorway D.

The beacon 11 is, for example, a wireless communication device that uses short-range wireless communication standards such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (registered trademark). The beacon 11 performs transmission triggered by reception of a pressure detection signal (=human detection signal) indicating that there is a pressure from the pressure detection sensor 10, and attempts wireless communication with the smartphone 3 existing nearby.

(Functional configuration of billing processing device)
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of the billing processing device according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2, the charging processing device 2 includes a CPU 20, a memory 21, a storage 22, and a communication interface 23, and has a configuration as a general computer.
The CPU 20 is a processor that controls the overall processing of the billing processing device 2 . The memory 21 is a so-called main storage device, and is a storage area necessary for the operation of the CPU 20 . The storage 22 is a so-called auxiliary storage device, such as a large-capacity HDD or SSD.

The CPU 20 according to this embodiment functions as a reception processing unit 200, a determination processing unit 201, an accounting processing unit 202, and a notification processing unit 203 by operating according to programs prepared in advance.

The reception processing unit 200 executes the following first reception processing and second reception processing.
The first reception process is a process of receiving first information from the beacon 11 installed inside the vehicle 1 . The first information includes identification information of the beacon 11 and information indicating that the pressure detection sensor 10 associated with the beacon 11 has detected a human (hereinafter also referred to as human detection information).
The second reception process is a process of receiving the second information from the smart phone 3 owned by the user A. The second information includes identification information of the beacon 11 , identification information of the smartphone 3 and position information of the smartphone 3 .

Based on the first information and the second information received by the reception processing unit 200, the determination processing unit 201 performs boarding determination or alighting determination for the user A who has the smartphone 3. FIG.

The billing processing unit 202 performs billing processing for the user A based on the result of boarding determination or getting-off determination by the determination processing unit 201 .

The notification processing unit 203 notifies the user A of the boarding determination or getting-off determination result via the smartphone 3 .

(Processing flow of toll collection system)
3 and 4 are diagrams showing the processing flow of the toll collection system according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 shows the processing flow when the user gets on the vehicle, and FIG. 4 shows the processing flow when the user gets off the vehicle.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the configuration of the vehicle according to the first embodiment.
Hereinafter, the processing flow of the toll collection system 9 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG.

First, with reference to FIG. 3, an example in which the user A gets on the vehicle 1 on the platform of a certain station will be described.

A user A enters the vehicle 1 from the platform of the station through the doorway D. At this time, the pressure detection sensor 10 outputs a detection signal due to pressure, and detects a person (step S11). The human detection process by the pressure detection sensor 10 may be effective only during the time period when the vehicle 1 is stopped at any station and the doorway D is open. By doing so, for example, when the vehicle 1 detects pressure during traveling between stations (time zone when the entrance D is closed), subsequent processing (boarding determination processing, alighting determination processing, etc.) ) can be prevented from being executed unintentionally.

Upon receiving the detection signal from the pressure detection sensor 10, the beacon 11 sends the first information including the beacon ID (identification information of the beacon 11) and the human detection information to the billing processing device 2. Send (step S12).

As a result of the process of step S12, the reception processing unit 200 of the billing processing device 2 receives the first information r1 including the beacon ID and the human detection information from the beacon 11. FIG.

Subsequently, the determination processing unit 201 of the billing processing device 2 starts measuring the time (acceptance time) for accepting the second information r2 including the same beacon ID from the reception time of the first information r1 (step S21). The determination processing unit 201 validates only the second information r2 including the beacon ID that is the same as the beacon ID included in the first information r1 and whose reception time measured in step S21 is within the specified time. deal. In other words, the second information r2 received outside the specified reception time is invalidated.

On the other hand, after step S12, the beacon 11 further transmits the beacon ID and the position calculation signal to the smartphone 3 (step S13). Here, the beacon ID transmitted together with the position calculation signal is the same as the beacon ID transmitted together with the human detection information in step S12. This position calculation signal may be used in known direction detection functions such as AoD (Angle of Departure) and AoA (Angle of Arrival).

When the beacon ID is received in step S13, the smartphone 3 calculates its own position using the subsequently received position calculation signal (step S31).

The processing of step S31 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5 , the smartphone 3 uses direction detection functions such as AoA and AoD to identify the direction (θ, φ) from which radio waves arrive from the position calculation signal received from the beacon 11 . Also, the smartphone 3 identifies the relative distance (r) to the beacon 11 from the received intensity of the position calculation signal (radio waves). In this way, the smartphone 3 calculates its own position (X, Y, Z) with respect to the position (0, 0, 0) of the beacon 11 . Note that the smartphone 3 can take any posture, but since a normal smartphone has a built-in three-axis acceleration sensor, the downward direction can be determined from the gravitational acceleration. The smartphone 3 can calculate its own position (X, Y, Z) with respect to the beacon 11 based on the downward azimuth in any posture.

Note that in the present embodiment, the processes of steps S13 and S31 are not performed only once, but are repeatedly performed many times in a short period of time. Thereby, the smartphone 3 can acquire the time series of its own position (X, Y, Z).

Returning to FIG. 3, next, the smartphone 3 transmits second information r2 including its own terminal ID, the beacon ID received in step S12, and the position information calculated in step S31 to the billing processing device 2 (step S32).

When the reception processing unit 200 of the billing processing device 2 receives the second information r2, the determination processing unit 201 of the billing processing device 2 reads the beacon ID included in the second information r2. Then, through the process of step S21, the determination processing unit 201 determines whether the time at which the second information r2 was received was received within a prescribed reception time from the time at which the first information r1 including the same beacon ID was received. determine whether or not
If the time at which the second information r2 was received was received within the prescribed reception time from the time at which the first information r1 was received, the determination processing unit 201 considers the second information r2 to be valid. , the process proceeds to the next processing step (step S22).

Next, the determination processing unit 201 of the billing processing device 2 performs boarding determination based on the second information r2 received in step S32 (step S22). This boarding determination process is a process of determining whether or not the user A has actually boarded the vehicle 1 . Specifically, the determination processing unit 201 refers to the time series of the position information of the smartphone 3 included in the second information r2, and determines whether the movement of the smartphone 3 flowing into the vehicle 1 from the outside is observed. Boarding determination is performed by

That is, as a result of referring to the time series of the position information, the determination processing unit 201 determines that the smart phone 3 for which the movement of flowing from the outside to the inside of the vehicle 1 is observed as "boarding". On the other hand, as a result of referring to the time series of the position information, the determination processing unit 201 detects that the smartphone is in the vehicle 1 (it is in the vehicle from the beginning and is not moving). It does not judge that "I got on board". Similarly, the determination processing unit 201 does not determine that the smart phone, which is observed to exist outside the vehicle 1 all the time as a result of referring to the time series of the position information, is “boarded”.

In addition, the determination processing unit 201 does not determine that the smart phone that is observed to be leaking from the inside of the vehicle 1 to the outside as a result of referring to the time series of the position information is "boarded", This point will be described in detail in the processing flow of "getting off" later.

If it is determined in step S22 that the user "has boarded", the billing processing unit 202 of the billing processing device 2 accesses the database DB and specifies the boarding station of the user A (step S23). Here, in the database DB, it is assumed that the operation status of each railroad vehicle (vehicle 1) (stopped stations, etc.) is recorded and updated sequentially by cooperating with the railroad system. Based on the beacon ID included in the first information r1, the billing processing device 2 determines which station the vehicle 1 equipped with the beacon 11 specified by the beacon ID is currently stopping at by referring to this. (that is, at which station the user A got on) can be determined.
Further, in another embodiment, the beacon 11 may be equipped with a GNSS function, acquire global position information from the GNSS function of the beacon 11, and determine the current stop station.

The billing processing unit 202 of the billing processing device 2 links and records the boarding station information acquired in step S23 and the terminal ID of the smartphone 3 (step S24).

Next, the notification processing unit 203 of the billing processing device 2 notifies the smartphone 3 of boarding (step S25). Specifically, the notification processing unit 203 transmits, to the smartphone 3, information indicating that the passenger has boarded the vehicle 1 and information indicating the station (boarding station) specified in step S23.

Upon receiving the boarding notification from the charging processing device 2, the smartphone 3 informs the user A that the boarding notification has been received by displaying on the display or by ringing (step S34). This boarding notification includes, for example, the route name, boarding time, boarding station, and the like.

Next, with reference to FIG. 4, an example in which the user A gets off the vehicle 1 at another station will be described.
When the user A exits from the inside of the vehicle 1 to the platform of the station through the doorway D, the pressure detection sensor 10 outputs a detection signal due to pressure to detect a person (step S11).

Subsequent steps S12-S13 by the beacon 11, steps S31-S32 by the smart phone 3, and step S21 by the billing processing device 2 are the same as those described when boarding (FIG. 3). Therefore, the description is omitted.

Next, the judgment processing unit 201 of the charging processing device 2 judges getting off based on the second information r2 received in step S32 (step S22a). This getting-off determination process is a process of determining whether or not the user A has actually gotten off the vehicle 1 . Specifically, the determination processing unit 201 refers to the time series of the position information of the smartphone 3 included in the second information r2, and determines whether the movement of the smartphone 3 flowing out from the inside of the vehicle 1 to the outside is observed. Alighting determination is performed by

If it is determined in step S22a that the passenger has "disembarked", the billing processing unit 202 of the billing processing device 2 accesses the database DB to specify the alighting station and the billing amount (step S23a). The process of specifying the alighting station is the same as the process of specifying the boarding station (step S23 in FIG. 3). In addition, the database DB records a fee table showing fees determined for each station section. The billing processing unit 202 refers to the fare table to identify the billing amount corresponding to the combination of the boarding station (recorded in step S24 in FIG. 3) and the alighting station (current stop station). can be done.

Next, the billing processing unit 202 performs billing processing (withdrawal) for the billing amount specified in step S23a for the smartphone 3 associated with the terminal ID (step S24a). The billing process performed here may be normal prepaid cashless payment, payment by credit card, or the like.

Next, the notification processing unit 203 of the billing processing device 2 notifies the smart phone 3 of getting off/details (step S25a). Specifically, the notification processing unit 203 transmits, to the smart phone 3, information indicating "getting off the vehicle 1" and information indicating the station (departure station) specified in step S23a. Further, the notification processing unit 203 transmits information indicating the details of the billing process performed in step S24a (how much yen was collected).

Upon receiving the getting-off/detailed notification from the billing processing device 2, the smartphone 3 informs the user A of the getting-off/detailed notification by displaying on the display or beeping (step S34). This getting off/detailed notice includes, for example, the route name, getting off time, getting off station, charge amount (withdrawn amount), and the like.

(Effect)
As described above, the billing processing device 2 according to the first embodiment performs reception processing for receiving the first information r1 including the beacon ID of the beacon 11 and the human detection information from the beacon 11 installed in the vehicle 1. and a reception processing unit that receives second information r2 including the beacon ID of the beacon 11, the terminal ID of the smartphone 3, and the location information of the smartphone 3 from the smartphone 3 owned by the user A. 200 (second reception processing unit), and a determination processing unit 201 that determines boarding or alighting for user A with smartphone 3 based on received first information r1 and second information r2.

By doing so, the detection of the actual person at the vehicle 1 (entrance D) and the positional information obtained through the smartphone 3 held by the user are associated with each other to determine boarding or alighting. It is possible to realize a highly accurate billing process in which the occurrence of erroneous billing and unpaid billing is suppressed while eliminating the payment operation by a person (such as an IC card touch operation).
As described above, according to the toll collection system 9 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to construct a transportation system in which a user can seamlessly board a mobile object from a facility such as a station without going through a gate or the like.
