Description

  The present invention relates to an in-vehicle device and a car sharing system used in a car sharing system in which a vehicle is shared by a plurality of members.

  When a user uses a vehicle of a car sharing system, the user often sees the vehicle to be used for the first time, and therefore often does not know the operation method of the vehicle. Similar problems exist when using a rental car, but in a car sharing system, unlike a rental car, the vehicle manager rarely witnesses where the user starts using the vehicle. For this reason, it is impossible for the user who will use the vehicle to know whether the user who used the vehicle immediately before has returned the vehicle in the correct state, and the vehicle manager who maintains the vehicle in the correct state also uses it May occur. In such a case, the user may not be able to use the vehicle.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows the operation of the in-vehicle device 3 when waking up. Note that the car sharing system 1 of the present embodiment is a system that operates only during a preset time zone during the day and pauses at night. As shown in FIG. 4, the in-vehicle device 3 automatically turns on the power from the sleep mode at a preset wake-up time (for example, one hour before the operation start time of the car sharing system 1) (step S110). . Then, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits a terminal wake-up notification signal to the management device 2. When receiving the terminal wakeup notification signal from the in-vehicle device 3, the management device 2 transmits a terminal wakeup notification confirmation signal to the in-vehicle device 3.

  Subsequently, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits a date / time request signal to the management device 2. When receiving the date / time request signal from the in-vehicle device 3, the management device 2 transmits the date / time information to the in-vehicle device 3. When receiving the date / time information from the management device 2, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits a date / time reception confirmation signal to the management device 2.

  Further, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits a reservation information request signal to the management device 2. When receiving the reservation information request signal from the in-vehicle device 3, the management device 2 transmits the reservation information to the in-vehicle device 3. When receiving the reservation information from the management device 2, the in-vehicle device 3 stores the received reservation information in the storage unit 20 and transmits a reservation information reception confirmation to the management device 2.

  Furthermore, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits vehicle state information (vehicle information) immediately after getting up to the management device 2. When receiving the vehicle state information from the in-vehicle device 3, the management device 2 transmits a reception confirmation response signal to the in-vehicle device 3. Thereafter, vehicle state information (vehicle information) is transmitted to the management device 2 periodically (at set time intervals) until checked in by the user. When the management device 2 receives the vehicle state information from the in-vehicle device 3, the management device 2 transmits a reception confirmation response signal to the in-vehicle device 3. At this time, when there is new reservation information, the management device 2 transmits a reception confirmation response signal including information indicating that the reservation information needs to be updated to the in-vehicle device 3.

  The in-vehicle device 3 transmits a reservation information request signal to the management device 2 when receiving information indicating that the reservation information needs to be updated. When receiving the reservation information request signal from the in-vehicle device 3, the management device 2 transmits the reservation information to the in-vehicle device 3. When receiving the reservation information from the management device 2, the in-vehicle device 3 stores the received reservation information in the storage unit 20 and transmits a reservation information reception confirmation signal to the management device 2. Thereafter, vehicle state information (vehicle information) is periodically transmitted to the management device 2 until the user checks in. When there is new reservation information, a reservation information update process (a process for transmitting the reservation information to the in-vehicle device 3 and storing it) is executed.

  FIG. 5 shows an operation n1 minutes before the reservation time and an operation n2 minutes before the reservation time. Note that n1 is larger than n2. As shown in FIG. 5, when it is n1 minutes before the reservation time (step S210), the management device 2 transmits a vehicle allocation notification mail to the user terminal 5 of the user and also corresponds to the vehicle allocation notification. It transmits to the vehicle-mounted device 3 of the vehicle 4. Then, when it is n2 minutes before the reservation time (step S220), the management device 2 transmits a notification mail notifying that it is n2 minutes before the reservation time to the user terminal 5.

  FIG. 6 shows an operation when the user performs check-in of the vehicle 4 (that is, a series of procedures performed on the vehicle 4 and the car sharing system 1 to start using the vehicle 4). In this case, as shown in step S <b> 310 of FIG. 6, the user touches the user confirmation unit 17 (card reader) of the in-vehicle device 3 in the vehicle 4 with the IC card 6. Thereby, the in-vehicle device 3 reads the user's IC card 6, compares the read identification ID with the reservation information, and confirms the reservation (step S320). Here, when there is no corresponding reservation information, the in-vehicle device 3 inquires of the management device 2 about the reservation information. The reservation information corresponds to authentication information managed by the management device 2.

  When the reservation information is confirmed in step S320, for example, a voice message “Please touch the card to turn on the vehicle power” is output (step S330). After this, the user waits for a set time, for example, 30 seconds, for the user to touch the user confirmation unit 17 (card reader) of the in-vehicle device 3 with the IC card 6 (step S340).

  When the user touches the IC card 6 within 30 seconds (step S360), the in-vehicle device 3 outputs a power switch-on signal to the vehicle power ECU 22 of the vehicle 4 so that the vehicle power switch 25 is turned on (step S370). As a result, the start-up sequence is activated in the vehicle-side ECU 23 of the vehicle 4 (step S380). In the present embodiment, the reading operation of the IC card 6 for authenticating the identification ID and the reading operation of the IC card 6 for turning on the vehicle power switch 25 are separate reading operations. It is the composition which is executed with. Specifically, after the reading operation of the IC card 6 for performing the authentication, the vehicle power switch 25 when the reading operation of the IC card 6 for turning on the vehicle electron microscope switch 25 is performed. Is configured to turn on.

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S390, and the vehicle-side ECU 23 of the vehicle 4 checks whether or not the state of the vehicle 4 is normal by operating the vehicle check control. Here, when it is determined that the state of the vehicle 4 is abnormal based on various detection signals output from various sensors mounted on the vehicle 4, information indicating that the state of the vehicle 4 is abnormal is provided. And transmitted from the vehicle side ECU 23 to the in-vehicle device 3.

  In this case, the information indicating that the state of the vehicle 4 is abnormal includes, for example, information indicating that the shift position of the transmission is abnormal (shift position other than the P position), that the accelerator pedal is being depressed. In addition, in the case of an electric vehicle, information indicating an abnormality in a motor system, information indicating that a remaining charge amount is insufficient, and the like are included. When the vehicle-mounted device 3 receives information indicating that the state of the vehicle 4 is abnormal, the vehicle-mounted device 3 reports information that prompts an operation for returning the state of the vehicle 4 to normal (step S395).

  In this notification process, when the shift position of the transmission is abnormal (a shift position other than the P position), a message “Please shift the shift lever to the P position” is displayed on the display unit 31; The voice is output via the voice output unit 32. In addition, when the accelerator pedal is depressed, a message “Please do not depress the accelerator pedal” is displayed on the display unit 31 and is also output by voice via the voice output unit 32. Further, in the case of an electric vehicle, if the motor system is abnormal, a message “please contact a staff member” is displayed on the display unit 31 and is output by voice via the voice output unit 32. . Further, in the case of an electric vehicle, when the remaining charge is insufficient, a message “please charge the vehicle 4” is displayed on the display unit 31 and the voice is output via the audio output unit 32. To output.

  In the vehicle check in step S390, when it is determined that the state of the vehicle 4 is normal, information indicating that the state of the vehicle 4 is normal is transmitted to the in-vehicle device 3 to indicate that this is normal. Receiving the information, the in-vehicle device 3 proceeds to step S400 without executing the process of step S395.

  Subsequently, in step S <b> 400, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits a vehicle system activation request signal to the vehicle-side ECU 23. When the vehicle-side ECU 23 receives the vehicle system activation request signal, the vehicle-side ECU 23 activates the vehicle system, communicates with the vehicle communication unit 18 of the in-vehicle device 3, and outputs a power switch-on signal from the in-vehicle device 3 to the vehicle power supply ECU 22. (Step S410). Then, the travel mode of the vehicle 4 is started (step S420), and the vehicle 4 can be traveled by the user. In this state, when the driving mode of the vehicle 4 is started, the in-vehicle device 3 outputs a message “Thank you for using” as a voice and also sends a check-in completion notification to the management device 2 (step). S430). On the other hand, when the driving mode of the vehicle 4 is not started, the in-vehicle device 3 outputs a message “The vehicle cannot be used. Please contact a staff member” by voice, and also notifies the check-in abnormality notification to the management device. 2 (step S440).

  If the user confirmation unit 17 cannot read the IC card 6 at step S310 or step S360, “touch the IC card 6 again. "Please contact the person (person in charge)" by voice and a check-in abnormality notification to the management device 2.

  In step S320, if the reservation information cannot be acquired even though the in-vehicle device 3 inquires the reservation information to the management device 2, "A communication error with the host system has occurred. Please wait for a while." Is output by voice and abnormal processing is executed. In step S320, if the collation result of the reservation information and the reading information of the IC card 6 does not match, the message “Reservation could not be confirmed. The vehicle cannot be used” is output by voice and the abnormality processing is performed. Run. In step S320, if there is a check-in request (IC card 6 touch) before the reservation time, the message “Before start of use. Please wait until the reservation time” is output by voice and checked. Return to the beginning of the in process (return to step S310).

  In step S340, if the second touch of the IC card 6 is not performed within 30 seconds, the message “Check-in timeout. Please touch the IC card 6 again” is output by voice. Return to the beginning of the check-in process (return to step S310). That is, in the case of the present embodiment, when the reading operation of the IC card 6 for starting running within a set time from the reading time of the IC card 6 for checking the reservation information is not executed, The vehicle power switch 25 is not turned on.

  FIG. 7 shows an operation while the vehicle 4 is traveling. As shown in FIG. 7, while the vehicle 4 is traveling, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits vehicle state information to the management device 2 periodically (for each set time) (step S510). Upon receiving the vehicle state information, the management device 2 transmits a confirmation response signal to the in-vehicle device 3. At this time, if there is reservation update information, the management device 2 transmits the reservation update information to the in-vehicle device 3. The in-vehicle device 3 is configured to ignore the reservation update information even when the reservation update information is received while the vehicle 4 is traveling. In addition, error / warning information is transmitted from the vehicle-side ECU 23 to the in-vehicle device 3 (step S520), and when the in-vehicle device 3 receives the error / warning information, “the vehicle abnormality has occurred. Please output the message "Please do" by voice and execute the abnormality process (step S530). Further, when the vehicle-mounted device 3 is n3 minutes before the return time of the vehicle 4 (predetermined time), in order to notify the user, “the return time is approaching. The vehicle is urgently moved to the return station. Please output "message by voice (step S540).

  FIG. 8 shows the operation when the vehicle 4 stops halfway. In this case, as shown in step S610 of FIG. 6, the user stops the vehicle 4 and touches the user confirmation unit 17 (card reader) of the in-vehicle device 3 in the vehicle 4 with the IC card 6. Then, the in-vehicle device 3 reads the user's IC card 6 and confirms the identification information, and then confirms the geofence of the station (step S620). Here, when the geofence has reached the destination (the geofence of the return station), a checkout process described later is executed. The checkout is a series of procedures performed on the vehicle 4 and the car sharing system 1 in order to end use of the vehicle 4.

  In addition, when the geofence is an intermediate stopover point (when it is not a return station geofence), the in-vehicle device 3 outputs a voice message “Please set the shift lever to the P position”. Then, the vehicle power switch 25 is turned off by outputting a power switch off signal to the vehicle power supply ECU 22 (step S630). Then, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits a stop signal to the management device 2 and outputs a message “Please touch the IC card again when driving again” (step S640). .

  FIG. 9 shows the operation of restarting the operation after the vehicle 4 stops halfway. As shown in FIG. 9, the user first touches the user confirmation unit 17 with the IC card 6 in order to resume driving (step S710). Then, the in-vehicle device 3 reads the user's IC card 6 and confirms the identification information, and then outputs a power switch on signal to the vehicle power ECU 22 to turn on the vehicle power switch 25 (step S720). As a result, the start-up sequence is activated in the vehicle-side ECU 23 of the vehicle 4 (step S730).

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S740, and the vehicle-side ECU 23 of the vehicle 4 checks whether or not the state of the vehicle 4 is normal by operating the vehicle check control. Here, when it is determined that the state of the vehicle 4 is abnormal based on various detection signals output from various sensors mounted on the vehicle 4, information indicating that the state of the vehicle 4 is abnormal is provided. And transmitted from the vehicle side ECU 23 to the in-vehicle device 3. Note that the information indicating that the state of the vehicle 4 is abnormal is substantially the same as in the case of the process in step S390.

  When the vehicle-mounted device 3 receives information indicating that the state of the vehicle 4 is abnormal, the vehicle-mounted device 3 reports information that prompts an operation for returning the state of the vehicle 4 to normal (step S745). This notification process is almost the same as the process in step S395.

  In the vehicle check in step S740, if it is determined that the state of the vehicle 4 is normal, information indicating that the state of the vehicle 4 is normal is transmitted to the in-vehicle device 3 to indicate that this is normal. Receiving the information, the in-vehicle device 3 proceeds to step S750 without executing the process of step S745.

  Subsequently, in step S750, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits a vehicle system activation request signal to the vehicle-side ECU 23. When the vehicle-side ECU 23 receives the vehicle system activation request signal, the vehicle-side ECU 23 activates the vehicle system, communicates with the vehicle communication unit 18 of the in-vehicle device 3, and outputs a power switch-on signal from the in-vehicle device 3 to the vehicle power supply ECU 22. (Step S760). Subsequently, the travel mode of the vehicle 4 is started (step S770), and the vehicle 4 can be traveled by the user. In this state, when the traveling mode of the vehicle 4 is started, the in-vehicle device 3 outputs a message “Thank you for using” as a voice and transmits a driving resumption notification to the management device 2 (step S780). ). On the other hand, when the driving mode of the vehicle 4 is not started, the in-vehicle device 3 outputs a message “The vehicle cannot be used. 2 (step S790).

  If the user confirmation unit 17 cannot read the IC card 6 in step S710, “Touch the IC card 6 again. If it cannot be read continuously, the system administrator (personnel) ) "Is output by voice and an operation resumption abnormality notification is transmitted to the management device 2.

  FIG. 10 shows an operation when the user checks out the vehicle 4. As shown in FIG. 10, when the vehicle 4 arrives at the return station and stops, the user touches the IC card 6 on the user confirmation unit 17 to check out (step S810). Then, the in-vehicle device 3 reads the user's IC card 6 and confirms the identification information, and then confirms whether the position of the vehicle 4 is within the geofence of the return station (step S820). Here, if the vehicle 4 has arrived at the destination, that is, if it is confirmed that the location of the vehicle 4 is the geofence of the return station, “Check out. Please set the shift lever to the P position. Is output by voice (step S830).

  After this, for example, for 30 seconds, the user waits for the IC card 6 to touch the user confirmation unit 17 (card reader) of the in-vehicle device 3 (step S840). Here, when the IC card 6 is touched (second touch) within 30 seconds (step S850), the in-vehicle device 3 reads the user's IC card 6 and confirms the identification information. The vehicle power switch 25 is turned off by outputting a power switch off signal to the vehicle power ECU 22 (step S860). Then, the in-vehicle device 3 outputs a message “Thank you for your use.” And transmits a checkout completion notification to the management device 2 (step S870). Upon receiving this checkout completion notification, the management device 2 transmits a use end mail to the user terminal 5 of the user (step S880). Thereafter, until the next user's check-in, the in-vehicle device 3 is configured to transmit vehicle state information to the management device 2 periodically (for each set time) (step S890).

  On the other hand, if the next touch of the IC card 6 is not made within 30 seconds from the previous touch in the above step S840, the message “Checkout time-out. Please touch the IC card 6 again” is voiced. And return to the beginning of the checkout process (return to step S810).

  FIG. 11 shows an operation when the business of the car sharing system is terminated. In this case, when the business end time comes (step S910 in FIG. 11), the in-vehicle device 3 shifts to the sleep mode. Thereby, the vehicle-mounted apparatus 3 will be in the operation mode (sleep mode) which supplies minimum electric power to the control part 19 etc. which are required in order to get up. In this case, the in-vehicle device 3 wakes up (wakes up at night) in order to periodically transmit the vehicle state information to the management device 2 at the time before the set time of the business start time of the next morning as the wake-up time. A plurality of times are set.

  FIG. 12 shows the operation when the in-vehicle device 3 wakes up at night. In this case, when it is time to wake up at night, the in-vehicle device 3 shifts from the sleep mode to the normal operation mode, wakes up, and transmits a terminal wake-up notification signal to the management device 2 (step S1010 in FIG. 12). When receiving the terminal wakeup notification signal from the in-vehicle device 3, the management device 2 transmits a terminal wakeup notification confirmation signal to the in-vehicle device 3.

  Subsequently, the in-vehicle device 3 transmits vehicle state information (vehicle information) immediately after getting up (nighttime) to the management device 2 (step S1020). When the management device 2 receives the vehicle state information from the in-vehicle device 3, the management device 2 receives a reception confirmation response (information including information indicating that the reservation information needs to be updated when there is new reservation information). Is transmitted to the in-vehicle device 3. Note that the in-vehicle device 3 does nothing even if it receives information indicating that the reservation information needs to be updated at night. And the vehicle-mounted apparatus 3 transfers to sleep mode (step S1030).

  Next, control for realizing each operation of the car sharing system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 17.

Here, when the reservation information is acquired normally, the process proceeds to “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S1140. The subsequent processing is as described above. If the reservation information is not normally acquired in step S1200, the process proceeds to “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S1210. In step S1210, a message “Please contact the system administrator” is output as a voice, and the process ends abnormally.

  If no user reservation exists in step S1140, the process proceeds to “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S1220. In step S1220, the message “There is no valid reservation” is output as a voice, and the process ends.

  Next, the control A (check-in process) will be described with reference to FIGS. In step S1310 of FIG. 14, the in-vehicle device 3 determines whether it is before check-in. Here, if it is before check-in, the process proceeds to “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S1320 to determine whether or not the check-in time is reached. If it is the check-in time, the process proceeds to “YES”, the process proceeds to step S1330, and the check-in is confirmed. Then, the process proceeds to step S1340, and a message “When touching in, please touch the IC card 6 again within 30 seconds” is output as a voice.

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S1350 in FIG. 15 and waits for 30 seconds until the IC card 6 is touched by the user confirmation unit 17. If the IC card 6 is not touched within 30 seconds, the message “Check-in time-out. Please touch the IC card 6 again” is output by voice and the first check-in process ( The process returns to standby for the first touch of the IC card 6, step S1110 in FIG.

  If the user touches the IC card 6 within the 30 seconds, the process proceeds to step S1370, the IC card 6 is read, and card authentication is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step S1380, and check-in processing is executed. Next, the process proceeds to step S1390, and the vehicle power switch 25 is turned on. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S1400, and a message “Thank you for using it. You can start the vehicle” is output as a voice. Further, the process proceeds to step S1410, and a check-in notification is transmitted to the management apparatus 2. In step S1420, the management device 2 receives a check-in notification from the in-vehicle device 3 and executes a check-in process. Thereafter, the vehicle 4 is driven by the user while waiting for the IC card 6 to be touched.

  On the other hand, if it is after check-in in step S1310, the process proceeds to “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S1430 to perform the process of restarting the operation of the vehicle 4. Then, it progresses to step S1440, and after turning on the vehicle power switch 25, it progresses to step S1450 and outputs the message "The car can be started."
