[First embodiment]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an overall view of an operating system of a work machine.
The work machine operating system 1 includes a management server 3 that manages the work machine 2, a portable terminal 4 that can wirelessly communicate with the work machine 2 and the management server 3, and a control device 5 provided in the work machine 2. Yes.

The work machine operating system 1 transmits a portable ID code to the portable terminal 4 from the management server 3 via the network when a user or the like using the work machine 2 performs user registration, and transmits the portable ID code to the portable terminal 4. Using the portable ID code, the operation of the work machine 2 is permitted or the operation of the work machine 2 is not permitted.
The portable terminal 4 is a PDA (Personal Data Assistance), a tablet PC (Table PC) or the like that can be easily carried and can perform wireless communication, and includes a smartphone having a telephone function and a mobile phone.

The portable terminal 4 includes a data storage unit 7 for storing the portable ID code and the like transmitted from the management server 3, and data transmission for transmitting the portable ID code stored in the data storage unit 7 to the work machine 2. Means 8 are provided. The data storage means 7 is composed of a nonvolatile memory or the like, and the data transmission means 8 is composed of a program or the like.
Next, the working machine will be described in detail by taking a tractor as an example.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the tractor 2 is configured by mounting an engine (for example, a diesel engine) 11, a transmission device 12, a control device 5, and the like on a traveling vehicle body 10 having front and rear wheels. A three-point link mechanism 14 is provided at the rear portion of the traveling vehicle body 10 so as to be movable up and down. Various working devices (cultivation device in the illustrated example) 15 are detachable from the three-point link mechanism 14. Power from the engine 11 is transmitted to the work device 15 via the PTO shaft. In addition, an independently mounted cabin 16 is provided behind the engine 11, and a driver's seat 17 is provided in the cabin 16. A display device 18 for displaying various information of the tractor 2 is provided around the driver's seat 17. Unlike the portable terminal 4, the display device 18 is fixed around the driver's seat 17 of the tractor 2, and when the operator sits on the driver's seat 17, the contents displayed on the display device 18 can be visually recognized from the driver's seat 17. . Such a tractor 2 can run and work by the working device 15.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 5 controls the running system and the working system in the tractor 2 and is composed of a CPU and the like. In the tractor 2, the traveling system control and the work system control are performed by a plurality of (for example, two) control devices 5A and 5B. In this embodiment, the tractor 2 is controlled by a plurality of control devices 5A and 5B. However, one or a plurality of control devices 5 may be used.

The first control device 5A controls the entire tractor 2, and the other control device 5B, that is, the second control is controlled by an in-vehicle communication network such as CAN (Controller Area Network) or FlexRay. Mutual communication with the device 5B can be performed. In addition, the first control device 5A is provided with a communication unit (transmission / reception unit) 30 for wireless communication with a portable terminal 4 such as a PDA (Personal Data Assistance) that can be easily carried and wirelessly communicated. Wireless communication with the portable terminal 4 is possible.

  Further, the first control device 5A is inputted with an operation amount of the accelerator pedal when the accelerator pedal is operated, a shift lever position when the shift lever for shifting is operated, and the like. The first control device 5A outputs a control command to the second control device 5B so that the engine 11 has a predetermined rotational speed based on the amount of operation of the accelerator pedal, and controls the transmission device 12 based on the shift lever position. It can be controlled (shift control).

In addition, the engine control upper limit value, the accelerator lever amount, the engine speed, and the like are input to the first control device 5A. The engine rotation upper limit value can be set by a volume provided in the vicinity of the driver's seat 17, and the accelerator lever amount can be set by an accelerator lever provided in the vicinity of the driver's seat 17.
When the engine rotation upper limit value is input, the first control device 5A outputs a control command to the second control device 5B so that the rotation speed of the engine 11 does not exceed the engine rotation upper limit value. When the accelerator lever amount is input, the first control device 5A sends a control command corresponding to the accelerator pedal operation amount to the second control device 5B if the accelerator pedal operation amount is equal to or greater than the accelerator lever amount. Although it is output, when the amount of operation of the accelerator pedal is less than the amount of accelerator lever, the control command according to the amount of operation of the accelerator pedal is not performed, and the number of revolutions of the engine 11 according to the amount of operation of the accelerator pedal is not controlled. It has become.

The first control device 5A controls the display device 18 that displays various information of the tractor 2, such as the engine speed, the shift speed, and the oil temperature, and moves the three-point link mechanism 14 up and down based on the input from the operation member. Control (3P elevation control).
The second control device 5B (engine computer unit) mainly controls the engine 11, and is used to input the operation amount of the accelerator pedal, the crank position, the cam position, etc. output via the first control device 5A. Based on this, the injector 27, common rail 28, supply pump 29 and the like are controlled. The engine control in the second control device 5B is the same as general diesel engine control. For example, in the control of the injector 27, the fuel injection amount, the injection timing, and the fuel injection rate are set, and the supply pump 29 and the common rail are set. In the control 28, the fuel injection pressure is set.

The traveling system and working system of the tractor 2 can be controlled by the first control device 5A and the second control device 5B. Note that the control of the traveling system and the working system of the tractor 2 is not limited to that described above.
In such a tractor 2, when the collation between the portable ID code transmitted from the portable terminal 4 and the work machine ID code stored in advance is established, the control device 5 is allowed to control and the tractor 2 On the other hand, when collation is not established, the control is not permitted and the operation of the tractor 2 is limited. ID code verification is performed by the first control device 5A and the second control device 5B.

Hereinafter, the first controller 5A will be described as an example with reference to FIG.
The first control device 5A includes an ID code obtaining unit 40, an ID code collating unit 41, and a control limiting unit 42. The ID code acquisition unit 40, the ID code verification unit 41, and the control restriction unit 42 are configured by a program stored in the first control device 5.
The ID code acquisition means 40 acquires a portable ID code from the portable terminal 4 by wireless communication. The ID code collation means 41 collates the portable ID code transmitted from the portable terminal 4 with the work machine ID code stored on the tractor 2 side.

  The work machine ID code is unique to the tractor assigned to each tractor 2 (work machine), and is stored (saved) in the storage unit 43 of the first control device 5A, for example. The storage unit 43 is composed of, for example, a nonvolatile memory. The work machine ID code is written in the storage unit 43 in advance by the manufacturing company that manufactures the tractor 2 when the tractor 2 is manufactured.

The portable ID code is stored in the storage unit (data storage unit 7) of the mobile terminal 4, and is transmitted from the management server 3 (ID code transmission unit 51) and written in the storage unit 7, for example. .
For example, when the engine 11 of the tractor 2 is started, when the first control device 5A is turned on and communication (wireless communication) between the transmission / reception unit 30 and the outside becomes possible, the ID code acquisition unit 40 is activated. Then, it waits for transmission of the portable ID code from the portable terminal 4. In such a state, when the portable terminal 4 is set to the ID code transmission mode for transmitting the portable ID code by operating the portable terminal 4, and the portable ID code is transmitted from the portable terminal 4, the ID code acquisition means 40 acquires the portable ID code transmitted from the portable terminal 4.

Next, after acquiring the portable ID code by the ID code acquiring unit 40, the ID code collating unit 41 calls the working machine ID code stored in the storage unit 43 of the first control device 5A, and calls the called working machine. The ID code for use is compared with the acquired portable ID code.
For example, if the portable ID code is “M13510006” and the work machine ID code is also “M13510006”, the ID code collating means 41 matches the portable ID code with the work machine ID code. Therefore, it is determined that ID code verification has been established. If the portable ID code and the work machine ID code do not match, the ID code verification means 41 determines that ID code verification is not established.

When the ID code verification is established, the control restriction unit 42 permits the control by the control device 5 and performs control (normal control) that is normally performed without restricting the control.
Specifically, after the ID code verification is established, the control restriction unit 42 transmits a permission signal for permitting control to all the control devices 5, and each control device 5 includes, for example, the engine 11, the transmission device, and the like. 12, normal control of the drive unit such as the three-point link mechanism 16 is performed according to the operation of the tractor 2.

  On the other hand, when the ID code verification is not established, the control restriction unit 42 does not permit the control by the control device 5 (sometimes referred to as control disapproval) and restricts the control. Specifically, when the ID code collation is not established, the control restriction unit 42 transmits a non-permission signal not permitting normal control to a part or all of the control devices 5 (a signal indicating control non-permission). Send). The control device 5 that has received the non-permission signal stops or restricts part or all of the control.

  For example, even if an accelerator pedal operation amount is input to the second control device 5B via the first control device 5A, the second control device 5B that has received the disapproval signal sets the accelerator pedal operation amount to zero (operates Not). That is, when the control is not permitted by the control restriction means 42, the second control device 5B does not perform the normal control corresponding to the accelerator pedal, and the operation of the engine is restricted and the tractor 2 cannot travel. As a matter of course, the stop and restriction of the normal control of the operation unit by each control device 5 are not limited to those described above.

  For example, the first control device 5A is configured to control the transmission (operation unit) based on the shift lever position. However, the first control device 5A has a shift lever position when the control is not permitted. The normal control of the transmission 12 based on the above may not be performed, or the normal control of the three-point link mechanism (operation unit) 16 may not be performed. When stopping or restricting the normal control, it is particularly preferable to stop part or all of the control over the engine so that the tractor 2 cannot travel.

In the tractor 2 as described above, for example, when the engine of the tractor 2 is started, a portable ID code is transmitted from the portable terminal 4 to the tractor 2 to the tractor 2 and collation of the ID code is performed. Thus, the tractor 2 can be moved. Here, when the verification of the ID code is not established, the operation of the engine of the tractor 2 can be restricted.
Next, the working machine operating system 1 will be described in detail together with the operation of the tractor 2 described above.

In the work machine operating system 1, user registration is required to obtain the above-described portable ID code, and the ID code is transmitted from the management server 3 to the desired portable terminal 4 after the user registration is completed. It is a thing. Here, the user registration is to register (save) information of the user who uses the tractor 2 or the user who purchased the tractor 2 in the management server 3.

The management server 3 is installed in a manufacturer that manufactures the tractor 2, a sales company that sells the tractor 2, a rental company that rents the tractor 2, a financial company that pays the tractor 2 for the user, and the like. That is, the management server 3 is installed in a company that requires user registration.
As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the management server 3 will be described in detail assuming that it is installed at a manufacturer.

The management server 3 includes a user information storage unit 50 in which various information related to user registration is stored, and an ID code transmission unit 51 that transmits a portable ID code to the portable terminal 4 after the user registration is completed. The user information storage means 50 is composed of a database or the like, and the ID code transmission means 51 is composed of a program or the like stored in the management server 3.
The database 50 mainly stores information related to the tractor 2 (tractor information) and information related to the user (user information) in association with each other. As shown in FIG. 3, the work machine ID code for specifying the tractor 2 is stored in the database 50 as the tractor information. Further, the database 50 stores, as user information, a portable ID code, a user name, an address, a mail address of the portable terminal 4, a telephone number of the portable terminal 4) and the like. By user registration, tractor information and user information are associated with each other.

To perform user registration, after purchasing the tractor 2, the user accesses the management server 3 using the portable terminal 4. On the management server 3 side of the manufacturing company, a registration format R is prepared in advance, and the registration format R is displayed on the display screen of the portable terminal 4 so that information necessary for the registration format R can be input.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the registration format R includes the purchase date of the tractor 2 purchased by the user, the model number of the tractor 2, the ID code for the work machine of the tractor 2, the user's name, address, and portable terminal. 4 e-mail addresses and the mobile phone 4 phone number can be entered. The work machine ID code of the tractor 2 is preferably notified from the manufacturer after the purchase of the tractor 2, that is, when the price of the tractor 2 is paid. For example, the work machine ID code is It is preferable to fill in the instruction manual 2, warranty card, and user registration guide.

When the registration is completed by inputting these pieces of information in the registration format R, the management server 3 stores the purchase date of the tractor 2, the model number of the tractor 2, the ID code for the work machine of the tractor 2, the user's name, address, and mobile phone. The mail address of the terminal 4 and the telephone number of the mobile terminal 4 are stored in association with each other.
In addition, after the user registration is completed, the management server 3 transmits the portable ID code to the portable terminal 4 associated with the work machine ID code by the ID code transmitting unit 51.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, it is assumed that the user A has purchased the tractor 2 whose work machine ID code is “M13510006” from the manufacturer and then accesses the management server 3 to perform user registration. . Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the ID code transmission means 51 of the management server 3 gives the same ID code (“ M13510006 "). As illustrated in FIG. 5C, when the portable terminal 4 receives the ID code (“M13510006”) transmitted from the management server 3, the portable terminal 4 acquires the ID code as a portable ID code, and acquires the acquired portable ID. The code is stored in the storage unit (data storage means 7). The acquisition of the portable ID code from the management server 3 may be automatically performed when a portable ID code that monitors communication with the outside and is stored in the portable server is sent. Alternatively, the portable terminal 4 is provided with an ID code acquisition mode in advance, and the portable terminal 4 is set to the ID code acquisition mode by operating the portable terminal 4. You may get it.

Note that the mobile terminal 4 can be specified by the e-mail address of the mobile terminal 4 and the telephone number of the mobile terminal 4 input by user registration. In user registration, the management server 3
Information for specifying the mobile terminal 4 needs to be stored. However, as long as the information specifies the mobile terminal 4, the information is not limited to the mail address and the telephone number of the mobile terminal 4, and any information may be used.

  According to the present invention, since a portable ID code cannot be acquired unless user registration is performed with respect to the management server 3, a third party other than the user who uses the work machine 2 operates the work machine 2. For this reason, it is difficult to obtain the ID code, and it is difficult to easily operate the work machine 2. For example, after purchasing the working machine 2 from the manufacturing company as described above, the management machine 3 such as the manufacturing company is accessed using the portable terminal 4 or the like and the user registration is not performed. Therefore, it is very difficult to operate the work machine 2 before purchasing the work machine 2, and it is possible to reliably prevent the work machine 2 from being stolen before being sold (before purchase). .

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which user registration is performed in the management server 3 of the manufacturing company has been described. However, user registration may be performed in the management server 3 of the rental company that rents the work machine 2.
[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, the normal control is permitted whenever the collation between the portable ID code and the work machine ID code is established. However, in the second embodiment, the control ( The operation permission time for permitting the normal operation) is determined, and if the establishment of the ID code is within the operation permission time, the control is permitted. The case where the operation permission time is determined will be described in detail.

The ID code acquisition means 40 also acquires the operation permission time when the portable ID code is transmitted from the portable terminal 4. This operation permission time is transmitted from the management server 3 and is determined for each specific tractor 2.
As shown in FIG. 6, the first control device 5 </ b> A stores the acquired operation permission time in the storage unit 43 when the acquired operation permission time is that of its own work machine 2 (tractor 2). When the operation permission time acquired from the portable terminal 4 is that of another tractor 2 or when the operation permission time has already been acquired and it is not necessary to newly acquire the operation permission time, the first control device 5A Do not save the permitted operating time. The operation permission time may be set as a remaining time or may be set as a time limit or a time limit.

Here, when the operation permission time is the remaining time, the first control device 5A acquires the operation permission time corresponding to its own tractor 2 and then the engine 11, the transmission 12, and the three-point link mechanism 16. Each time the driving unit is driven, the operation permission time is decreased, and the operation permission time stored in the storage unit 43 is updated.
For example, when the operation permission time at the first acquisition is 100 hours and the engine 11 is operated for 30 hours, the updated operation permission time (remaining operation permission time) is 70 hours.

  When the operation permission time (remaining operation permission time) stored in the first control device 5A is not 0 hours (when it is within the operation permission time), the control restriction unit 42 A permission signal is output so that normal control by each control device 5 can be performed. On the other hand, when the operation permission time (remaining operation permission time) stored in the first control device 5A is 0 hour (outside the operation permission time), the control restriction means 42 determines that the ID code verification is established. However, the permission signal is not output, and the normal control by each control device 5 is disabled.

  Further, when the operation permission time is set as the deadline, the control restriction means 42 receives the operation permission time (time limit) corresponding to the own tractor 2 until the operation permission time (time limit) arrives. Permit normal control when verification is established. When the operation permission time is set as the period, the control restriction unit 42 permits the normal control by the ID code verification until the period ends.

For example, when the operation permission time is set to the deadline until “June 30, 2011”, the control limiting means 42 permits the normal control by the ID code verification until “June 30, 2011”. If the operation permission time is a period between “June 1 to July 7, 2011”, the ID code is collated until “July 7, 2011” which is the last day of the period. Permit normal control.

When restricting the operation of the tractor 2 using the operation permission time, it is preferable to install the management server 3 in a rental company, a financial company, or the like.
When the management server 3 is installed in the rental company, the user performs user registration with the management server 3 of the rental company. As shown in FIG. 7, the user first accesses the rental company management server 3 using the mobile terminal 4, enters the registration format R into the rental period (rental period), the model number of the tractor 2, the tractor 2. Enter tractor information such as a store that rents out (rental store). In addition, the user inputs user information such as the user's name, address, e-mail address of the mobile terminal 4, and telephone number of the mobile terminal 4.

  When the input of the tractor information and the user information is finished, the management server 3 of the rental company determines from the information of the registration format R input at the time of user registration and the information of the tractor 2 stored in the management server 3. Rental information of the tractor 2 that can be rented (the model number of the tractor 2, the ID code for the working machine to be rented, the rental period, the rental store, etc.) is extracted. That is, the management server 3 searches for a tractor 2 that satisfies the conditions input in the registration format R, and if there is a tractor 2 that meets the conditions of the registration format R, the user's mobile terminal The rental information (model number of the tractor 2, rental period, rental store, etc.) excluding the work machine ID code is notified to 4 etc.

  When the user confirms the rental information notified from the management server 3 to the portable terminal 4 and the rental approval is transmitted to the management server 3 via the portable terminal 4, a rental contract between the user and the rental company is established. When the rental contract is established, the ID code transmitting means 51 of the management server 3 uses the work machine ID code (rented work machine ID code) corresponding to the tractor 2 with the rental contract as the portable ID code, and the user's portable terminal 4 to send. The ID code transmission means 51 transmits the rental period as the operation permission time together with the portable ID code.

The data storage means 7 of the portable terminal 4 stores the work machine ID code (portable ID code) transmitted from the ID code transmission means 51 of the rental management server 3 in association with the operation permission time.
For example, when the tractor 2 whose work machine ID code is “M13510006” and whose rental period is “June 1 to July 7, 2011” is rented, the data storage means 7 of the portable terminal 4 stores “ “M13510006” is stored as a portable ID code, and “June 1 to July 7, 2011” is stored as an operation permission time. When starting the tractor 2, the data transmission means 8 of the portable terminal 4 transmits “M13510006” as the portable ID code to the first control device 5 </ b> A and “June 1, 2011” as the operation permission time. Send ~ 7/7 ".

According to this embodiment, for example, if ID code verification is established within the period from June 1, 2011 to July 7, 2011, the tractor 2 being rented can be operated. If the rental period has not passed or ID code verification has not been established, the operation of the tractor 2 can be reliably restricted.
[Third embodiment]
In the second embodiment, a rental company has been described as an example. In the third embodiment, a financial company that pays the seller for the purchase price of the tractor 2 on behalf of the user will be described as an example.

  Prior to the lump sum payment of the purchase price by the financial company to the manufacturing company, as shown in FIG. 8, a payment plan table for the user to make installment payments to the financial company is created. In this payment plan table, price payment information such as the number of times a user makes a partial payment to a financial company, a payment deadline, and a payment amount is shown. In financial companies, user registration is performed.

For example, in a financial company, that is, a management server 3 of a financial company, the registration format R includes the purchase date of the tractor 2 from which the user purchased the tractor 2, the model number of the tractor 2, and the tractor 2
In addition to the work machine ID code, the user's name, address, e-mail address of the portable terminal 4, and the telephone number of the portable terminal 4, the payment information shown in the payment plan table is input, and the user registration is completed.

  When the user registration is first completed, the ID code transmitting means 51 of the management server 3 of the financial company transmits the first payment deadline to the portable terminal 4 as the operation permission time, and the work machine ID code is also used as the portable ID code Send as. When receiving the portable ID code and the operation permission time as described above, the portable terminal 4 stores the portable ID code and the operation permission time in the storage unit.

  When the user pays a predetermined price by the payment deadline, the financial company management server 3 regards the user registration again (not actually performed), and transmits the work machine ID code as a portable ID code. At the same time, the new payment deadline is transmitted to the portable terminal 4 as the operation permission time. When the mobile terminal 4 receives the new operation permission time, it updates the operation permission time already stored.

  According to this embodiment, during the period when the user repeatedly pays, the tractor 2 that continues to pay can be operated if ID code verification is established. The operation of the tractor 2 can be surely limited if the payment is delayed and the payment period is over or the ID code verification is not established. When the final payment is completed, the management server 3 of the financial company uses the tractor 2 for a long period of time regardless of payment by setting the operation permission time to a very large value (for example, several hundred years or more). It is preferable to be able to do this.

  As described above, according to the present invention, in any of a manufacturing company that manufactures a work machine, a rental company that rents a work machine, and a financial company that makes a lump sum payment for the work machine on behalf of the user, user registration and work If the ID code for operating the machine is not acquired, the work machine cannot be operated, and therefore the operation of the work machine by a third party other than the user can be prevented. In particular, since the ID code for operating the work machine is sent to the mobile terminal owned by the user, it is possible to prevent a third party from operating the work machine using the ID code.

Furthermore, when the operation permission time for operating the work machine is also given, even the user can operate the work machine for the allowed time.
