In the following figures, the same elements are numbered or coded throughout the description of the embodiments. Further, in the functional configuration diagram, the arrows between the functional blocks indicate the data flow direction or the processing flow direction.

(First Embodiment)
First, the outline of the first embodiment of the vehicle proximity notification system for authenticating the user to which the present invention is applied will be described. The vehicle proximity notification system is a system that notifies a person (for example, a pedestrian on the road, etc.) that a traveling vehicle is approaching.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a concept of a vehicle proximity notification system 1 to which the present invention is applied.

The vehicle proximity notification system 1 includes an in-vehicle terminal 10 loaded on the vehicle A and a user terminal 20 that can communicate with the in-vehicle terminal 10 and is possessed by the person B and stores the person's name. The vehicle proximity notification system 1 may include at least an in-vehicle terminal 10.

In the vehicle proximity notification system 1, the in-vehicle terminal 10 detects that a person B is within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius L) centered on the traveling vehicle A, and the name of the detected person (shown in FIG. 1). In the example, "Kazuhiro-san") is extracted and the name of the extracted person is pronounced. It is desirable that the name to be extracted is not only the surname but also the full name (nickname is also acceptable). For example, there are common surnames such as "Sato" and "Tanaka", and such surnames may not recognize the person being called.

At this time, the in-vehicle terminal 10 detects the user terminal 20 or the microchip embedded or attached to the human body, obtains the personal name of the person from the detected microchip, and obtains, for example, "Kazuhiro". Mr., a car is approaching from behind. " If the personal name is not stored in the microchip, obtain the chip ID from the microchip, contact the server that manages the microchip ID, etc., obtain the personal name, and "Mr. Kazuhiro, A car is approaching from behind. "

Further, after first recognizing the existence of a person with the camera of the in-vehicle terminal 10, the recognized direction may be sensed by the in-vehicle sensor, and the personal name may be acquired by performing the above procedure.

Further, in the vehicle proximity notification system 1, the user terminal 20 detects that a person B is detected from the in-vehicle terminal 10 within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius L) centered on the traveling vehicle A. When the signal is received, the name of the memorized person (“Mr. Sato” in the example shown in FIG. 1) is extracted and the name of the extracted person is pronounced. In the detection of a person, a pedestrian and a person riding a car or a motorcycle may be discriminated from each other. For example, the change in relative speed within a predetermined time (several seconds is acceptable) is measured to determine whether or not the person is a pedestrian.

As a result, when a vehicle approaches a person, the person's name is pronounced. For this reason, it is not an unpleasant sound like a general horn, and it is not a sound that is hard to notice that it is a notification to yourself, but it is safe to know yourself by pronouncing your name. It is possible to give a feeling and it becomes easy to recognize that it is a notification to oneself. Therefore, it becomes easy to eliminate the anxiety of the person about the proximity of the vehicle and to recognize that the person is a notification to himself / herself.

(Functional configuration)
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of an in-vehicle terminal 10 and a user terminal 20 in the vehicle proximity notification system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The vehicle proximity notification system 1 includes at least an in-vehicle terminal 10 loaded on a vehicle, but in the example described in the present embodiment, a user terminal 20 possessed by a person and storing the person's name is further provided. include.

(Configuration of in-vehicle terminal 10)
The in-vehicle terminal 10 includes a detection means 11, a detection signal transmission means 12, an identification information receiving means 13, an extraction means 14, a sounding signal transmitting means 14A, a driving means 15, a sounding means 16, and a user database (hereinafter referred to as a user database). , User DB) 100.

The detection means 11 determines whether or not an object existing in a predetermined range is a person based on a sensor that emits infrared rays or ultrasonic waves to detect the existence of an object within a predetermined range and information detected by the sensor. By means, the presence of a person within a predetermined range and the position (direction) of the person are detected. The detection means 11 may be composed of, for example, an image pickup means such as a camera and an analysis means for analyzing whether or not there is a person within a predetermined range from the image captured by the image pickup means. Further, the detection means 11 may be configured by receiving means for receiving radio waves or infrared rays indicating position information and identification information for identifying the user terminal 20 from the user terminal 20 within a predetermined range.

When the detection means 11 detects that a person is present, the detection signal transmission means 12 transmits radio waves or infrared rays, which are detection signals, to the user terminals 20 existing in a predetermined range. Further, when the detection means 11 receives the identification information of the detected person from the user terminal 20, the detection signal transmission means 12 may transmit the detection signal to the user terminal 20 via the network. ..

The identification information receiving means 13 receives a user ID as identification information for identifying the person who owns the user terminal 20 from the user terminal 20 that has transmitted the detection signal in the detection signal transmitting means 12. For example, when the detection means 11 is composed of an imaging means and an analysis means, the analysis means can identify a person imaged by the imaging means, and the extraction means 14 can extract the name of the person. , The identification information receiving means 13 can be omitted.

The extraction means 14 refers to the user DB 100 based on the user ID received by the identification information receiving means 13 from the user terminal 20, and extracts the name of the person detected by the detecting means 11.

FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing data stored in the user DB 100 in a tabular format. In the user DB 100, name data indicating a user's name and attention data indicating words calling attention to the user are associated with a user ID which is identification information for identifying the user. In the present embodiment, the user's name includes a surname, a first name, a nickname, and the like. Further, in the name data of the user DB 100, it is desirable that the name of such a user is given a title. Further, the attention data is data that calls attention according to each user, may be different for each user, or may be a standard word.

When the identification information receiving means 13 can directly receive the name data indicating the user's name from the user terminal 20, the extracting means 14 extracts the received name data to omit the user DB 100. Can be done. The sounding signal transmitting means 14A transmits a sounding signal for sounding the name to the driving means 15 in response to the extraction of the name data.

Further, when the vehicle proximity notification system 1 of the present embodiment is operated by a vehicle operation system that manages the operation of vehicles that can be used by users who are residents of a predetermined area, the user DB 100 is used in the management server that manages the vehicle operation system. May be provided. In this case, even if the extraction means 14 transmits the user ID received from the user terminal 20 by the identification information receiving means 13 to the management server and receives the name data of the person extracted by referring to the user DB 100 on the management server. good.

Returning to FIG. 2, the driving means 15 is composed of a motor and a driving mechanism, receives a sounding signal from the sounding signal transmitting means 14A, rotates the sounding means 16, and moves in the direction of the person detected by the detecting means 11. , The surface of the sounding means 16 that generates the sound is turned.

The sounding means 16 is composed of, for example, a directional speaker capable of producing a sound in a specific range and a sound controlling means for controlling the sounding from the directional speaker, and the sound controlling means is extracted by the extracting means 14. Sound data of the person's name data and attention data is generated, and the generated sound data is sounded from the directional speaker. The sounding means 16 does not necessarily have to be mounted inside the in-vehicle terminal 10, and a nearby sounding device outside the vehicle, such as a speaker of a highly directional security camera, may be used.

According to the driving means 15 and the sounding means 16, the sound can be selectively played to a person in a specific range (a person who is notified that the vehicle is in the vicinity), and thus another person. It is possible to prevent the person being notified from being humiliated because the name of the person pronounced by the pronunciation means 16 cannot be heard well.

The driving means 15 and the sounding means 16 may be omitted if it is possible to pronounce a person's name on the user terminal 20 in cooperation with the user terminal 20.

(Configuration of user terminal 20)
The user terminal 20 is possessed by a person (for example, a pedestrian), stores the name of the person, and is suitable for each user (for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, a game device, etc.). It consists of a mobile terminal).

The user terminal 20 includes a detection signal receiving means 21, an identification information extracting means 22, an identification information transmitting means 23, a sounding signal transmitting means 23A, and a sounding means 24.

The detection signal receiving means 21 receives the detection signal transmitted from the in-vehicle terminal 10.

When the detection signal receiving means 21 receives the detection signal, the identification information extracting means 22 names the user who has the user terminal 20 stored in the storage means (for example, a storage device such as a memory). The name data to be shown and the user ID of the user are extracted.

The identification information transmitting means 23 transmits the name data and the user ID extracted by the identification information extracting means 22 to the in-vehicle terminal 10. At this time, the sounding signal transmitting means 23A also transmits the sounding signal to the sounding means 24 on the terminal side.

The sounding means 24 is composed of, for example, a speaker and a sound controlling means for controlling the sounding from the speaker, and when the sounding signal from the sounding signal transmitting means 23A is received, the sound controlling means 22 The sound data of the person's name data extracted in is generated, and the generated sound data is sounded from the speaker. The sounding means 24 does not necessarily have to be mounted inside the user terminal 20, and a sounding device worn by the user, such as headphones, earphones, or bone conduction device, may be used. Further, for a person who cannot hear the sound, the sounding device may convert the sounding signal into a vibration signal to vibrate the smart glass or other device worn on the human body.

The above-mentioned functional configuration of this system is merely an example, and one functional block (database and functional processing unit) may be divided, or a plurality of functional blocks may be collectively configured as one functional block. In each function processing unit, the CPU (Central Processing Unit) built into the device reads computer programs stored in storage devices such as ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, SSD (Solid State Drive), and hard disk. , Realized by a computer program executed by the CPU. That is, each function processing unit reads and writes necessary data such as a table from a database (DB; Data Base) stored in a storage device or a storage area in a memory by this computer program, and is related in some cases. It is realized by controlling the hardware (for example, input / output device, display device, communication interface device). Further, the database (DB) in the embodiment of the present invention may be a commercial database, but it also means a mere collection of tables and files, and the internal structure of the database itself does not matter.

(Processing flow)
In the subsequent processing flow chart (flow chart), the processing order of each step may be changed as long as the relationship between the input and the output of each step is not impaired. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a vehicle proximity notification processing flow executed by the vehicle-mounted terminal 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a vehicle proximity notification processing flow executed by the user terminal 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In step S3, the identification information receiving means 13 receives a user ID as identification information for identifying the person who owns the user terminal 20 from the user terminal 20 to which the detection signal transmitting means 12 has transmitted the detection signal in step S2.

In step S4, the extraction means 14 extracts the name of the person detected by the detection means 11 with reference to the user DB 100 (see FIG. 3) based on the user ID received by the identification information receiving means 13 from the user terminal 20. .. At this time, the sounding signal is transmitted in step S4A.

In step S5, the driving means 15 receives the sounding signal, rotates the sounding means 16, and directs the surface that generates the sound of the sounding means 16 toward the person detected by the detecting means 11 in step S1.

In step S6, the sounding means 16 pronounces the sound data of the person's name data extracted by the extracting means 14.

The operation of the in-vehicle terminal 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 6. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a driving mode of the sounding means 16 in the driving means 15.

First, in the state shown in FIG. 1, the in-vehicle terminal 10 detects a person and the direction in which the person is within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius L), and the identification information receiving means 13 is the user of this person. A user ID (for example, "kazuhiro01") is received from the terminal 20, the extraction means 14 refers to the user DB 100 (see FIG. 3) based on the user ID, and "Kazuhiro-san" is used as caution data as the name data of this person. "Car from behind" is extracted, the driving means 15 directs the sounding means 16 in the direction detected by the detecting means 11, and the sounding means 16 extracts the names "Kazuhiro-san" and "car from behind" extracted by the extracting means 14. Is pronounced.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the in-vehicle terminal 10 detects the direction in which the detection means 11 has another person and the other person within a predetermined range (for example, within the radius L), and the identification information receiving means 13 Receives another user ID (eg, "gen02") from another user terminal 20 of this other person, and the extraction means 14 refers to the user DB 100 (see FIG. 3) based on the other user ID. Extracting "backward attention" using "Gen-san" as attention data as another person's name data, the driving means 15 directs the sounding means 16 in the direction detected by the detecting means 11, and the sounding means 16 is in the extracting means 14. The extracted names "Kazuhiro-san" and "backward attention" are pronounced.

Next, the vehicle proximity notification processing flow executed by the user terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

In step S11, the detection signal receiving means 21 receives the detection signal transmitted from the vehicle-mounted terminal 10.

In step S12, the identification information extracting means 22 possesses the user terminal 20 stored in the storage means (for example, a storage device such as a memory) when the detection signal receiving means 21 receives the detection signal in step S11. The name data indicating the name of the user, the caution data, and the user ID of the user are extracted.

In step S13, the identification information transmitting means 23 uses the name data (data indicating “gensan” in the example shown in FIG. 6) and the user ID (shown in FIG. 6) extracted by the identification information extracting means 22 in step S12. In the example, "gen02") is transmitted to the in-vehicle terminal 10. At this time, the sounding signal is transmitted in step S13A.

In step S14, the sounding means 24 receives the sounding signal, and the name data of the person extracted by the identification information extracting means 22 in step S13 (“Gen-san” in the example shown in FIG. 6) and caution data (in FIG. 6). In the example shown, the sound data of "backward attention") is generated, and the generated sound data is pronounced from the speaker. As described above, the sounding means 24 does not necessarily have to be mounted inside the user terminal 20.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of an in-vehicle terminal and a user terminal in the vehicle proximity notification system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

The reserved vehicle ID is transmitted to the terminal side.

The proximity wireless communication means 22A communicates with the proximity radio communication means 12A on the vehicle-mounted terminal 10A side, and starts short-range wireless communication with the vehicle-mounted terminal 10A when the vehicle-mounted terminal 10A enters within a predetermined distance. The detection means 23A detects the proximity of the vehicle when the in-vehicle terminal 10A enters the communication range of the proximity wireless communication means 22A.

The vehicle discriminating means 24A determines whether or not the vehicle that has detected the proximity is the vehicle for which the boarding request is issued by the boarding request communication means 21A, that is, the vehicle that the user wants to ride, based on the vehicle ID or the like received in advance. However, the vehicle discriminating means 24A can enter the non-discrimination mode when the user has not issued a boarding request, or when the user has performed a predetermined operation even if the boarding request has been issued. In the non-discrimination mode, the vehicle discriminating means 24A simply informs the extracting means 25A that there is a nearby vehicle without discriminating the nearby vehicle. Therefore, in the non-discrimination mode, this system is a system that alerts the proximity of the vehicle regardless of whether or not there is a boarding reservation.

When the vehicle discriminating means 24A determines that the nearby vehicle is the vehicle the user wants to ride, or when the extraction means 25A is in the non-discrimination mode, the extraction means 25A is used from the user name storage means 26A that stores the user's name. , Extract the user's name. At this time, the sounding signal transmitting means 27A sends a sounding signal to the sounding means 28A.
The sounding means 28A receives the sounding signal and sounds the name extracted by the extracting means 25A to notify the user of the proximity of the vehicle.

The above function can be realized by installing a dedicated program (application) on the user terminal 20A. With such a configuration, the vehicle proximity notification system 1 of the second embodiment can be used as a warning system for notifying a nearby vehicle without discriminating the vehicle, and can discriminate the vehicle and the target vehicle that the user wants to ride. It can also be used as a system to enhance the convenience of boarding reservations that notify that the trains are close to each other.
