Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.

For the purpose of clearly and clearly describing the embodiments of the present invention, the following first briefly introduces the implementation principle of the present invention:

in daily life, people have certain periods and rhythms of travel behaviors, such as returning to morning and evening. Especially, from the action track, the travel behavior of people is generally a closed loop in a natural day, namely, the people start from an origin in the morning and return to the origin at night after activities such as learning or working for one day. According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the cycle and rhythm of people going out are effectively utilized, the operation mode of the vehicle to be rented by the vehicle rental company is consistent with the going out track of people, namely, the vehicle to be rented is rented to the first user within the first set time period, and the first user drives the vehicle from the start point of the renting to the end point of the renting, namely, the A2B mode of the vehicle rental. And after the first user finishes the work or study of one day, driving the vehicle from the vehicle renting terminal to the vehicle renting starting point within a third set time period, namely, a B2A mode of vehicle renting, wherein the travel tracks of the first user corresponding to the two modes are a closed loop.

In addition, in a second set time period after the first user finishes renting the vehicle in the first set time period, in order to avoid waste of resources, the vehicle returned by the first user can be continuously rented to a second user, so that the renting rate of the vehicle is improved. However, in order to ensure that the first user can still continuously rent the vehicle to return to the start point of the vehicle rental within the third set time period, the second user needs to return the rented vehicle to the start point of the vehicle rental, i.e., the end point of the vehicle rental of the first user, within the second set time period. Therefore, the rental car starting point and the rental car ending point of the second user are the same site. For the second user, the car renting behavior can also form a closed loop, and the operation mode corresponding to the car renting of the second user is the B2B mode.

In conclusion, in the operation process of the car rental company, by skillfully combining the operation modes, namely adopting the A2B2B2A car rental mode, the difficulty in managing and maintaining the cars to be rented can be well solved while the utilization rate of the cars can be greatly improved, the operating cost of the car rental company is effectively reduced, and the operating income is increased.

Example one

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for renting a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method may be performed by a device for renting a vehicle, the device may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and the device may be integrated in a server. Referring to fig. 1, the method of the present embodiment specifically includes:

s110, if a vehicle leasing request of a first user for a first set time period is obtained, a vehicle to be hired at a first leasing site is hired to the first user, wherein the first user is a user with a first leasing site as a vehicle leasing starting point and a second leasing site as a vehicle leasing ending point.

The first user in this embodiment is preferably a "tidal car rental user", that is, a user who rents a car from the first rental station to the second rental station in the morning and rents a car from the second rental station to the first rental station again in the evening. For example, the time period corresponding to the "tidal rental car user" may be preferably 7 am to 9 am, and 17 pm to 19 pm.

For example, the first user may send the vehicle rental request through APP (Application), official website, public number, or the like of the rental company during the vehicle rental process. After the server obtains the vehicle leasing request of the first user, the server can lease the vehicle to be leased of the leasing group closest to the current user, and simultaneously sends related information, and the current user can obtain information such as the position, license plate number and unlocking password of the leased vehicle from the information.

Preferably, the server can detect the car rental record of the first user, and if the user rents the car for the first time, any car to be rented at the first rental station can be rented to the user; if the fact that the user has been subjected to the car renting is detected, the server can further retrieve basic information (such as a license plate number) of the car rented by the user, and if the current position of the car is judged to be at or close to a first renting station where the user is located, particularly to be at or close to a renting group of the user according to the basic information, the car can be rented to the first user again when the car is in a state to be rented.

Further, if the first user sends a vehicle rental request to the server frequently within a set date (e.g., monday to friday), i.e., the first user is a fixed or more fixed "tidal rental car user", the server may automatically establish a binding relationship with the first user for their frequently rented vehicles, i.e., the first user enjoys fixed or prioritized usage rights for the vehicle. For example, a first user may rent a vehicle T to the company at the rental group nearest their residence each day on work, and may still rent a vehicle T to return from the company to the residence each day off work. The arrangement mode avoids the problem that a first user is difficult to find a vehicle to be rented when the first user needs to rent the vehicle, and great convenience is provided for the user to rent the vehicle. The advantage that the user who establishes the binding relation with a certain car rents this car is convenient for this user to master the drivability of this car proficiently, also is favorable to this user fine maintenance this vehicle's user state, promotes user's experience of renting the car, can reduce the intensity that car rental company maintained the rental car.

For example, the first user may also establish a binding relationship with a specific vehicle by submitting an application to the server through the APP, and bind a rental vehicle, so that the vehicle can be rented for a long time.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first rental site is: the system comprises a leasing area consisting of a plurality of leasing groups, wherein each leasing group comprises at least one deployed rental vehicle.

Specifically, the first rental site is a rental area, and the rental area is composed of a plurality of rental groups separated by a certain distance and space. The rental group is placed as close as possible to the most convenient place of closest rental by the first user. Rental cars are closely spaced in the rental group at as small a pitch as possible. For example, in an administrative plan residential community, a leasing group is arranged under each residential building, and a leasing area is formed by a plurality of leasing groups. For example, a plurality of leasing groups are arranged in or/and at the entrance of each organ such as a school or a hospital, and a leasing area is formed by the plurality of leasing groups. Or, a place which has a certain space depth and dimension, contains various social attributes and functions, has a relatively large travel demand and is concentrated in time can be provided with a plurality of leasing groups at different places according to actual needs, and the leasing groups are integrated into a leasing area.

The leasing group is the minimum unit for the leasing company to lay the leasing vehicles, the scale can be large or small, and one leasing vehicle can also form a leasing group; when the rental cars of a single rental group reach a certain size, the rental group of such size can be treated as a rental area.

In summary, in this embodiment, the rental vehicles form the rental group, and the further advantage of integrating the rental group into one rental area is that the first user can conveniently rent the vehicles to the maximum extent, and the rental company can better and more reasonably perform effective normal maintenance and management on the rental vehicles by using the rental area as a unit, so as to improve the operation efficiency of the rental company, reduce the operation cost of the rental company, and improve the vehicle renting experience of the user.

In particular, the first rental site may preferably be located in a place where there is a large and concentrated demand for tidal trips, such as residential communities, subway bus stations, and the like. The second rental site may be located near an office building, industrial or mining enterprise, commercial segment, school or hospital, or the like.

Preferably, in order to enhance the management of the rental company on the vehicles to be rented, the first rental station should be set by the rental company, so that the rental company can repair and maintain the vehicles at the first rental station. For example, the vehicle may be generally maintained, such as charged, cleaned, etc., at night (e.g., during the period from 23 o 'clock of the day to 5 o' clock of the day) to ensure that the vehicle is well-conditioned when the vehicle is rented again, thereby enabling the user to obtain a good rental experience.

Preferably, the second rental site is set by the first user autonomously for the first user according to actual needs. The rental company does not need to carry out maintenance work on the rental vehicle at the second rental station, and if special conditions occur, related workers can be dispatched by the rental vehicle company according to actual needs and processed as required, or the first user of the rental vehicle can be used for processing instead.

Optionally, the second rental site may also be set by a rental company, specifically, when a certain number of rental car users drive different rental cars from the same or different first rental sites respectively, and drive to and arrive at a certain same second rental site, the second rental site also has rental cars of a certain scale. At this point, this second rental site, may be considered to be set by the rental company. Correspondingly, for a second rental site arranged by a rental company, some functions and works of daily maintenance of the rental vehicles can be matched and arranged according to actual conditions and requirements.

It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" and the like in any embodiments of the present invention are used only for distinguishing different geographical locations, time periods, users, and the like, and do not have a specific limiting effect.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first rental station may also be referred to as a mother rental station, which is generally a start rental station of a first set time period (e.g., 7 to 9 am) of the user, and the second rental station may also be referred to as a rental sub-station, which is generally an end rental station of the first set time period after the user starts the first rental station in the morning. For a vehicle leased by a certain user for a long period in a rental parent station, the user who rents the vehicle may be given the authority to maintain the vehicle by himself.

Furthermore, in a time period that the rental car is not rented by the first user, namely on the premise that the first user rents the car next time is not influenced, the server can continuously rent the car returned by the first user to other users, so that the rental rate of the car is improved, and the operation income is increased.

The car rental process of the second user within the second set time period will be described in detail below.

And S120, if a vehicle rental request of the second user for the second set time period is acquired, renting the vehicle returned by the first user to the second user in the second rental station, wherein the start point and the end point of the vehicle rental of the second user are the same, so that the first user can continue to perform the vehicle rental operation in the third set time period to return to the first rental station.

The second user rents the vehicle from the second rental station, and returns the rented vehicle to the user of the second rental station before the first user rents the vehicle again and returns the vehicle to the first rental station, namely the second user is the user with the same station as the start point and the end point of the vehicle renting. The advantage of setting up like this lies in, in the time quantum that first user does not rent the hire car, has improved the utilization ratio of vehicle, has promoted the income of business of hire company.

For example, the second user rents the car in various ways, which may include, but is not limited to, the following ways:

1. the server acquires the current position of a second user, pushes information of a vehicle which belongs to a second leasing site within a preset range from the current position and is returned by the first user to the second user through mobile phone short messages, APP prompting or WeChat pushing and the like, and prompts the second user that the vehicle needs to be returned to the second leasing site within a second set time period; and if the confirmed car renting information of the second user is acquired, pushing the car renting information of the second user to the first user.

It should be noted that, for this manner, the preset range of the current position indicates a rental car area of the second rental station closest to the current position of the second user, for example, a car rental area of the second rental station 500 meters away from the second user. As long as the second user initiates a car renting request, the server pushes car renting rules of the second user (namely, the vehicle needs to be returned to the second renting station within the second set time period) to the second user, so that the first user cannot rent the rented vehicle in time within the third set time period. In addition, as the second user continues to rent a certain vehicle after the first user returns the vehicle, and the first user still needs to rent the vehicle within the third set time period, after the server acquires the confirmed vehicle renting information of the second user, the vehicle renting information of the second user is pushed to the first user, so that the first user can acquire the running condition of the vehicle in real time.

For example, after determining the location of the second rental site, the server may also search, using the second rental site as a reference point, for a second user who initiates a rental car request within a preset range (for example, 50 meters) away from the reference point, and push, according to a sequence of the requests initiated by the second user or other principles (for example, rental duration, etc.), car information returned by the first user in the second rental site to the second user, and prompt the second user to return the car to the second rental site within a second set time period, and if the confirmed car rental information of the second user is obtained, push the car rental information of the second user to the first user, so that the first user can obtain the running condition of the car in real time.

Illustratively, when pushing the vehicle information, the server may further perform the following steps: after determining the position of the second rental site, the server searches for a second user who is within a preset range (for example, 100 meters) away from the reference point, has completed APP registration and is permitted to obtain position information in real time by the system, and does not initiate a vehicle rental request, and if the second user is found to exist, the server pushes vehicle information returned by the first user in the second rental site to the second user and prompts the second user to return the vehicle to the second rental site within a second set time period.

2. And the second user actively searches the information of the vehicles to be rented of the second rental site closest to the second user through channels such as APP, official networks or public numbers of the rental companies and sends out corresponding vehicle rental requests.

3. For a second rental station which is formed to be normal, a second user can also reserve an unspecified vehicle to be rented at the second rental station within a certain time period in an appointment mode; or the second user can also continuously rent the vehicle returned by the first user in a mode of self-contract with the first user.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the first user can continue to rent the same vehicle to return to the first rental station within the third time period, the second user needs to complete the vehicle returning operation at the second rental station within the second set time period. If the server does not accept or detect the vehicle returning information of the second user within the second time period, the second user is not compliant with the vehicle renting rule, and at the moment, the server can punish the second user according to the preset punishment rule. The preset penalty rule can be formulated by the leasing company according to the actual leasing condition, for example, the penalty rule can be deduction of a deposit or deduction of credit points, or even limitation of subsequent leasing authority. And if the server acquires the car returning information of the second user, pushing the car returning information of the second user to the first user.

Preferably, the first set time period in this embodiment is 7 o 'clock to 9 o' clock, and in this time period, the first user often needs to rent a car from a first rental station near the residence to the company, and complete a car return operation at a second rental station near the company. The second set time period in this embodiment is 9 to 17, and in this time period, the vehicle returned by the first user is generally in an idle state, so in order to improve the utilization rate of the vehicle, the vehicle returned by the first user may be continuously rented to the second user in this time period, and the second user is prompted to complete the vehicle returning operation of the second rental station in the second set time period. The third set time period in this embodiment is 17 to 19 points, and in this time period, the first user generally completes the work of one day and needs to rent a car from the second rental station near the company and return to the residence, and at this time, the car returned by the second user is just suitable for the first user to rent, so that the utilization rate of the car is improved, and the car renting by the first user is facilitated. The setting of each time period accords with the travel rhythm of the user, and meanwhile, the vehicle rental mode corresponding to each time period also accords with the travel track of the user, so that the rental mode not only can provide convenience for the travel of the user, the rental experience of the user is improved, but also improves the utilization rate of the rental vehicle, and the business income of a rental company is increased.

Further, after the third set time period is over, the first user returns the vehicle at the first rental station, and a mode of returning the vehicle at the first rental station, that is, an operation mode of A2A, may also be adopted, so as to provide a vehicle renting service for users who have a vehicle renting requirement near the first rental station. The operation mode of A2A is that the start point and the end point of the car rental user are both the first rental station, and before the car requiring maintenance enters the maintenance time period, or before the car not requiring maintenance enters the first set time period, the car rental user needs to return the rented car to the first rental station, which may be referred to as the B2B car rental mode in the second time period, and is not described herein again.

It should be noted that the vehicle rental method according to the present embodiment can be applied not only to shared vehicle rental, but also to shared bicycles, especially to shared electric bicycles during the rental process, following the vehicle rental method provided by the present embodiment.

According to the technical scheme, in the second set time period, the vehicle returned by the first user is rented to the second user with the same renting starting point and end point, the utilization rate of the rented vehicle is improved, meanwhile, the first user can continuously rent the vehicle to return the renting starting point in the third set time period, the problem that the user cannot find the vehicle when renting the vehicle is solved, the vehicle renting system is perfected, the renting experience of the user is improved, and meanwhile, the operating income of a renting company is increased.

On the basis of the above embodiment, further, for the maintenance and the service of the vehicle, the rental company may perform the maintenance and the service of the vehicle through the fourth set time period, or may perform the maintenance and the service of the vehicle by the first user.

For example, for a place where the first rental station is too small to form a rental area, and where the rental company is difficult to configure maintenance work and there is a continuous (for example, half a year or more) demand for renting cars, the above-mentioned A2B 2A car renting mode can be implemented by the first user self-establishing the first rental station to perform maintenance by himself.

Specifically, the specific operation of the first user requesting to establish the first rental site may be:

acquiring a first leasing site establishment request sent by a first user;

pushing a user rule relevant to the establishment request to a first user according to the establishment request;

if the confirmation information of the first user on the user's rule is acquired, responding to the establishment request, and determining the first user as a self-maintenance user;

wherein the self-maintenance user has responsibility for maintaining and servicing the rental car at the first rental site.

The user rule related to the establishment request may be, but is not limited to, a car rental term of the first user, a specific maintenance operation requirement of the vehicle, and the like. And if the server does not acquire the confirmation information of the first user on the user's duty, the default user automatically abandons the establishment request of the first rental site.

Furthermore, for the first users who finish the vehicle maintenance work by themselves at the self-established first rental site, the rental company can give certain encouragement and rewards to the first users in other modes, such as discount of rental price, giving coupons, giving kilometers for rental of free rental cars and the like, and meanwhile, certain help is given at the initial stage of self-establishing the first rental site, such as assistance of site selection, help of laying a charging device, simple maintenance tools and the like. The self-building first rental station has the advantages that the requirement of a user for renting a car is met to the maximum extent, even in places where only one rental car needs to be arranged, the rental business can be developed, the social potential is fully excavated, the maintenance and maintenance problems of the rental car are solved, a method is found for the rental company to develop the rental business deep into the capillary vessel level of the society, the operation cost of the rental company is effectively reduced, and the revenue is increased.

Example two

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for vehicle rental according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is optimized based on the second embodiment and adds related contents of "car pooling", wherein explanations of terms identical to or corresponding to the second embodiment are not repeated herein. Referring to fig. 2, the method for providing vehicle rental in the present embodiment includes:

s210, if a vehicle leasing request of a first user for a first set time period is obtained, a vehicle to be hired at a first leasing site is hired to the first user, wherein the first user is a user with a first leasing site as a vehicle leasing starting point and a second leasing site as a vehicle leasing ending point;

and S220, if a vehicle rental request of the second user for the second set time period is acquired, renting the vehicle returned by the first user to the second user in the second rental station, wherein the start point and the end point of the vehicle rental of the second user are the same, so that the first user can continue to perform the vehicle rental operation in the third set time period to return to the first rental station.

And S230, if the riding request of the third user is obtained, simultaneously renting the vehicles rented by the first user to the third user for the third user to share the car, wherein the third user comprises users with riding routes within the range of the car renting routes of the first user within the first set time period or the third set time period.

The third user in this embodiment is a car sharing user, the trip time and the route of the car sharing user may be the same as or similar to those of the first user, and the car sharing user may be one person or multiple persons.

Optionally, the riding request sent by the car sharing user to the server may be sent at any time in the process of renting the car by the first user, or the reservation may be made in advance. The specific car sharing route can be from the car rental starting point of the first user to the car rental ending point of the first user. The carpool user can get on or off the car at any one of the points (including the point where the first set time period and the third set time period pass) along the way from the start point of the car rental to the end point of the car rental.

For example, the carpooling users for the first set time period and the third set time period may be different users. For the unfixed car sharing users, a car sharing request needs to be sent to the first user through the server before car sharing is carried out each time, and the server acquires the riding time and riding position information of the car sharing users according to the car sharing request of the car sharing users and sends the riding time and riding position information to the first user. The temporary binding relationship exists between the car sharing users and the rental cars, and the temporary binding relationship has the problem that each car sharing user is different.

Preferably, the car sharing user can also be a fixed user, that is, the car sharing user establishes the third binding relationship with the first user. The third binding relationship is a long-term (for example, one year) or long-term (for example, one month) car pooling binding relationship, that is, under the condition that the third binding relationship is established, and on the premise that the car pooling time of the third user coincides with the car renting time of the first user (in this embodiment, the first set time period or the third set time period), the third user and the first user are in a certain binding relationship, and the car pooling is also relatively fixed.

Specifically, after the third binding relationship is established, after the riding request of the third user is obtained again, the server determines the riding time and the riding position of the third user from the riding request, and due to the existence of the third binding relationship, the riding time and the riding position are pushed to the first user but not to other users, and the driving track of the vehicle rented by the first user is pushed to the third user. The setting can reach when having first binding relation like this, and the first user that the user of sharing car pieces together is same user always, and the user of sharing car pieces together the vehicle also comparatively fixed, and the server management of being convenient for also is favorable to sharing car user to the familiarity of vehicle and driver (here indicates first user), has promoted sharing car user's experience of riding by bus, also is favorable to the realization and the continuation of sharing car. Of course, the carpooling user can also make a appointment with the first user about the time and place of carpooling.

Optionally, in the process of vehicle rental in the second time period, the car pooling mode may also be adopted. In the process of sharing the car in the second time period, the information of the second user and other car sharing users can be generally sent to the first user, so that the first user can know the using state of the car. However, the second user cannot be relieved of responsibility for the problem of the rental car in the renting process by sending the car returning information of the second user to the first user.

It should be noted that step S230 and step S220 do not have the precedence of the execution order.

On the basis of the embodiment, the car sharing mode of the car is increased, the car sharing rule is more standardized and more humanized, the national conditions are better met, the utilization rate of the rented car is further improved, and the operation income of a renting company is increased.

EXAMPLE III

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for vehicle rental according to a third embodiment of the present invention, in this embodiment, related contents of "establishing a binding relationship between a user and a rental vehicle and between users" are added on the basis of the third embodiment, and explanations of terms that are the same as or corresponding to the third embodiment are not repeated herein. Referring to fig. 3, the method for providing vehicle rental in the present embodiment includes:

s310, according to the vehicle leasing request of the first user, establishing a first binding relationship between the first user and the vehicle to be leased at the first leasing site.

For example, the first binding relationship is an association relationship established by the server between identity information of the first user, such as an account name or a mobile phone number, and information of a certain vehicle to be rented at the first rental site. According to one of the association relations, the specific information of the other one can be inquired.

S320, when the vehicle leasing request of the first user is obtained again, the vehicle which has the first binding relation with the first user in the first leasing site is leased to the first user.

Preferably, for a tide car renting user renting cars for a long time or regularly (for example, from monday to friday), that is, a user renting cars for a specific time period in the morning and at night (for example, the first user in this embodiment), a long-term first binding relationship may be established between the user and a specific vehicle frequently used by the user, so that the arrangement is convenient for managing the vehicle, and is also convenient for using and maintaining the vehicle, and is more beneficial to the traveling and car using experience of the long-term tide car renting user.

For example, a plurality of long-term or regular tide car renting users can also establish a binding relationship with the same car, for example, if the user A needs to use the car M from Monday to Friday, and if the user A does not rent the car on Saturday and Sunday, the car M will be in an idle state on the Saturday. At this time, if the tide car renting user B needs to rent the car every six days, the users A and B can establish binding relations corresponding to different periods with the car M according to respective needs. The background server can monitor the binding relationship at different periods, for example, during a time period from monday to friday, a user having the binding relationship with the vehicle M is switched to the user a, and during the time period, other vehicle renting users cannot rent the vehicle M unless the permission of the user a is obtained. And in a time period of Saturday, the server can automatically switch the user with the binding relationship with the vehicle M to the user B, and in the time period, other vehicle renting users can not rent the vehicle M unless permission of the user B is obtained.

The binding relationship is mainly used for establishing the binding relationship between a plurality of car renting users renting the same car and the rented car at different periods. Optionally, for a certain period, that is, a period of time in which a certain tidal rental car user has established a binding relationship with the vehicle, for example, a period of time in which a tidal rental car user U establishes a binding relationship with the vehicle N on monday to friday, the vehicle N and the user vuser W may be simultaneously established a binding relationship. The time period for the user V to rent the vehicle N is a time period (for example, the second set time period) other than the time period for the user U to rent the vehicle N, which can be specifically referred to the following step S330. The user W may be a bound car sharing user, that is, in the process of renting the vehicle N by the user U (for example, in the first set time period or the third set time period), the user W rents the vehicle N together with the user U, and the user W establishes the third binding relationship with the tide car renting user U.

And S330, after the vehicle leasing request of the second user is acquired, taking the second user as an affiliated user of the vehicle returned by the first user.

The second users rent the vehicle after the first user returns the vehicle and before the first user rents the vehicle next time, except for the second users which temporarily appear, the second users who rent the vehicle for a longer period, for example, have vehicle renting requirements in a second set time period of each working day, or the second users who rent the vehicle regularly, for example, the users whose vehicle renting starting point and ending point are second renting stations, can be used as auxiliary users of the vehicle returned by the first user. During the process of renting the vehicle, the subsidiary user needs to finish the vehicle returning operation of the same station within a second set time period, so that the first user continues to rent the vehicle to return to the first renting station within a third set time period.

It should be noted that the vehicle rental request of the second user may be sent within a time period after the first user returns the vehicle and before the first user rents the vehicle next time, or may be sent during the vehicle rental process of the first user, so as to request to rent the vehicle returned by the first user in a reserved manner.

S340, establishing a second binding relationship between the affiliated user and the first user.

For example, the second binding relationship is an association relationship established by the server between the identity information of the second user, such as an account name or a mobile phone number, and the identity information of the first user, such as an account name or a mobile phone number. According to one of the association relations, the specific information of the other one can be inquired. If the first user already has the first binding relationship with the vehicle at the first rental site, the information of the rental vehicle having the first binding relationship with the first user can be inquired according to the identity information of the second user.

And the server can feed back the rental state information of the vehicle acquired in real time to the first user so that the first user can know the use condition of the vehicle in the process of renting the vehicle by the affiliated user having the second binding relation with the vehicle returned by the first user.

For example, the second binding relationship between the dependent user and the first user may be established in a specific time period according to the requirement of the dependent user, that is, for different second set time periods, the binding relationship between different second users and the first user may be established, that is, the same user who is not fixed by the second user who has the binding relationship with the first user, for example, in a time period from 9 o 'clock to 17 o' clock on monday, the user P rents a vehicle, and establishes the second binding relationship with the first user; and in the time period from 9 o 'clock to 17 o' clock on Tuesday, the user Q rents the target vehicle and establishes a second binding relationship with the first user. And for example, at 9 to 11 points in a second set time period on Monday, the user mr rents the target vehicle, a second binding relationship is established between the user mr and the first user, at 11 to 14 points, the user lie miss rents the target vehicle, a second binding relationship is established between the user lie miss rents and the first user, and at 14 to 17 points, the user Liu ladies rents the target vehicle, and a second binding relationship is established between the user Liu ladies and the first user. And for example, at 9-11 points in a second set time period on Monday, the Mr. King rents the target vehicle, and establishes a second binding relationship with the first user, and at 13-15 points, the Mr. Sun rents the target vehicle, and establishes a second binding relationship with the first user. And if no second user is bound with the first user in the time of the second set time period of other wednesdays, the target vehicle is in a temporary state to be rented, wherein the temporary state to be rented can be rented at any time. The flexible and multi-style arrangement can improve the utilization rate of the vehicle and increase the flexibility of renting the vehicle by the second user.

Optionally, the affiliated user having the second binding relationship with the first user may also be the same user. This situation exists primarily where the dependent user has a vehicle rental need for a second set period of time at a different time. Based on the requirement, the second binding relationship may exist at all times. Or the affiliated user can also appoint the car rental time with the first user and monitor the car rental time through the server. For example, after the first user completes the returning operation of the vehicle within the first set time period, the subsidiary user can rent the vehicle, so that the utilization rate of the vehicle is improved, and the waste of resources is avoided.

And S350, pushing the car returning information of the first user in the second rental site to the affiliated user based on the second binding relationship.

In this embodiment, the setting of S350 is mainly to enable the affiliated user to obtain the car-returning information of the first user in real time, so that the first user continues to rent the car after returning the car, thereby improving the utilization rate of the rented car and increasing the operation profit.

And S360, when the confirmed car renting information of the auxiliary user is obtained, pushing the car renting information of the auxiliary user to the first user based on the second binding relationship.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, on the basis of the embodiment, different types of binding relationships between different car renters and rented vehicles and between the different car renters are established according to the travel rhythms of the different car renters in different time periods, so that management of the rented vehicles is facilitated, and the operation efficiency of vehicle renting is improved.
