Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are not intended to limit the invention according to the claims, and all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are not necessarily essential to the invention. Two or more of the plurality of features described in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined. In the present invention, the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a system configuration of a shared service according to the present embodiment. The system 100 includes a server 101 providing a shared service, and base stations 103 and 110 connected to the server 101 via a network 102. Network 102 is a wireless communication network, a wired communication network, or a network containing both. In addition, the network 102 includes a private network and a general network. The system 100 includes vehicles 108, 115, and in this embodiment, the vehicles 108, 115 are straddle-type vehicles. However, the vehicles 108 and 115 are not limited to the saddle-riding type vehicle, and may be four-wheeled vehicles, for example. Further, the vehicles 108 and 115 are configured with storage boxes 107 and 114, and the storage boxes 107 and 114 store helmets and keys as lenders to users who utilize the shared service. The storage boxes 107 and 114 are integrally attached to the vehicles 108 and 115 so as not to be detachable by a general user. In the shared service, the helmet and the key can be delivered to and received from a plurality of users in a state where they are stored in the storage box.
In the shared service, the user 109 is a user who rents the vehicle 108, and the user 116 is a user who rents the vehicle 115. In addition, the mobile terminal 105 is a mobile terminal held by the user 109, and the mobile terminal 112 is a mobile terminal held by the user 116. The mobile terminals 105 and 112 are portable information processing devices such as smartphones. In the present embodiment, the portable terminal 105 can perform the subsequent wireless communication 106 with the storage box 107 by pairing. Similarly, the portable terminal 112 can perform the subsequent wireless communication 113 with the storage box 114 by pairing. The mobile terminal 105 can communicate with the base station 103 via the wireless communication 104, and can communicate with the server 101 via the base station 103 and the network 102. Similarly, the portable terminal 112 can communicate with the base station 110 via the wireless communication 111, and can communicate with the server 101 via the base station 110 and the network 102.
In fig. 1, the communication line between the storage box 107 and the server 101 is shown as passing through the mobile terminal 105, but the storage box 107 and the server 101 may be configured so that communication can be performed without passing through the mobile terminal 105. Similarly, although the communication line between the storage box 114 and the server 101 is shown as passing through the mobile terminal 112, the storage box 114 and the server 101 may be configured to be able to communicate with each other without passing through the mobile terminal 112.
The users 109 and 116 download the application program provided from the server 101 to the respective mobile terminals 105 and 112, or access the server 101. Then, the users 109 and 116 can use the shared service by registering their own user information to the server 101 by an operation on the setting screen of the application. After the user information is registered, for example, the user 109 moves to a station where the vehicle 108 is installed, and the portable terminal 105 and the storage box 107 approach each other to perform pairing. As a result, the mobile terminal 105 and the storage box 107 are connected to each other and registered in the server 101. Thus, the user information of the user 109, the mobile terminal 105, and the storage box 107 (and the vehicle 108) are associated with each other and managed in the server 101. The same applies to the user 116, the mobile terminal 112, the vehicle 115, and the storage box 114.
The following is shown in fig. 1: the user 109 rents the vehicle 108 at one site, while the user 116 rents the vehicle 115 at another site. After the user 109 ends the rental use of the vehicle 108, the user 116 can rent the vehicle 108. In fig. 1, only two combinations of the user, the portable terminal, and the vehicle are shown in the description, but the present invention is not limited to the two combinations. Hereinafter, the user 109, the portable terminal 105, the vehicle 108, and the storage box 107 will be described as a typical example of a combination of the user, the portable terminal, and the vehicle shown in fig. 1. Further, although the server 101 is shown as one device, it may be configured by a plurality of devices. That is, the server 101 in the present embodiment includes a configuration for providing a server function by one device and a configuration for providing a server function by linking a plurality of devices. The system 100 may also include other devices, for example, a database server, a charging server, an authentication server, a storage, etc., may also be connected to the network 102.
In fig. 1, the storage box 123 is shown as being integrally mounted on the vehicle 122. In fig. 1, the storage box 120 is connected to the network 102 separately from the storage box 123. The storage box 120 is capable of storing keys and helmets in the storage space inside, as in the storage boxes 123, 107, and 114, but is different from the storage boxes 123, 107, and 114 in terms of the portion provided at a position away from the vehicle 122. For example, the storage box 120 is a structure in which a plurality of boxes are combined, such as a storage cabinet. The storage box 120 is provided at a position away from the vehicle 122 in a station for renting the vehicle 122 by a user, and can communicate with the vehicle 122 or the storage box 123 through short-range wireless communication 121 such as Bluetooth (r). In this case, the storage box 120 may be configured to communicate with the vehicle 122 through the storage box 123, or may be configured to communicate with the vehicle 122 without passing through the storage box 123. For example, when the user starts the shared service, the storage box 120 takes out the helmet and the key from the designated storage position of the storage box 120, and starts the use of the vehicle 122. When the user stops the vehicle 122 temporarily and leaves the vehicle 122 outside the station, that is, while the shared service is being used, the user stores the helmet and the key in the storage box 123.
Further, the user 127 of fig. 1 is a user who wants to use the vehicle 122. The mobile terminal 124 is a mobile terminal held by the user 127. The portable terminal 124 can communicate with the storage box 123 through wireless communication 125, and can communicate with the storage box 120 through wireless communication 126.
First, a configuration from the base station 103 to the user 116 in fig. 1 will be described as an example of the present embodiment. Next, a case in which the storage box 120 of fig. 1 is used will be described as an example of the present embodiment.
Fig. 2 is a block diagram of the vehicle 108. As described above, in the present embodiment, the vehicle 108 is a saddle-riding type vehicle. In the present embodiment, the saddle-riding type vehicle may be a vehicle of a driving system using gasoline fuel or a vehicle of a driving system using an electric motor.

The vehicle 108 is configured to perform travel control by a throttle by wire (for example), and the ECU210 controls a driving unit 211 including an engine by opening and closing a throttle valve by receiving an electric signal of an accelerator opening degree of the steering unit 213. The brake portion 212 includes a brake mechanism. The sensor group 214 includes various sensors such as a speed sensor, a throttle sensor, and an atmospheric pressure sensor, and the ECU210 receives sensing signals from these sensors. The notification unit 215 includes a lamp, a buzzer, and the like, and performs a warning notification using lighting when the ignition is turned on by an unauthorized spare key or the like, for example. The vehicle 108 may be configured such that the mobile terminal 105 can be mounted to the vehicle 108 by a mounting accessory or the like so that the display portion 411 of the mobile terminal 105 faces the occupant side.
The control unit 200 is a block capable of performing communication with the container box 107 via the communication I/F206. The control unit 200 includes a computer system including a processor 201, a memory 202, a vehicle information transmitting unit 203, a drive control unit 204, a notification control unit 205, and a communication I/F206, which collectively control operations within the control unit 200. The operation of the vehicle 108 according to the present embodiment is realized, for example, by the processor 201 executing a program on the memory 202. The vehicle information transmitting unit 203 transmits various sensing signals, vehicle identification information, and the like from the sensor group 214 to the container box 107 via the communication I/F206 as vehicle information. Drive control unit 204 requests ECU210 to control drive unit 211 and brake unit 212. The notification control unit 205 requests the ECU210 to control the notification unit 215. The drive control unit 204 and the notification control unit 205 convert the drive control data and the notification control data into signals that can be processed by the ECU210, and transmit the signals to the ECU 210. The control unit 200 can be connected to a storage unit 216 such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB). The vehicle 108 is not limited to the block configuration shown in fig. 2, and for example, functional blocks corresponding to functions of the vehicle 108 may be appropriately included. For example, the vehicle 108 may be provided with a GPS (Global Positioning System), and the GPS information may be transmitted to the storage box 107 as vehicle information. For example, the vehicle 108 may be configured to be able to communicate with the base station 103.

The operation of the storage box 107 according to the present embodiment is realized by the processor 301 executing a program on the memory 302, for example. The data communication unit 303 performs data communication with the vehicle 108 and the mobile terminal 105. For example, the vehicle information received from the vehicle 108 or the vehicle information stored in the storage unit 323 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 105. Further, for example, the data communication unit 303 transmits signals from the sensor group 310, the lock mechanism 320, the helmet connection terminal 321, and the key connection terminal 322 to the mobile terminal 105 as state information. In addition, for example, the data communication unit 303 can transmit information received from the mobile terminal 105 to the vehicle 108. The mechanism control unit 305 controls the state of the lock mechanism 320 to be a locked state or an unlocked state. The locked state indicates that the storage box 107 is locked, and the unlocked state indicates that the storage box 107 is unlocked.
The sensor group 310 includes various sensors in the storage box 107, for example, an open/close sensor 311 for sensing an open/close state of a lid of the storage box 107. The lock mechanism 320 is a mechanism for locking or unlocking the closed state of the lid of the storage box 107, and is configured by using a solenoid, for example. The lid of the storage box 107 is locked in a closed state, and thus, theft of a helmet and a key stored therein can be prevented.
The helmet connection terminal 321 is a terminal for connecting a helmet shared with the vehicle 108 to a plurality of users in the shared service. The helmet is provided with a DC (Direct Current) plug, and the control unit 300 electrically detects whether the helmet in the storage box 107 is stored or not by connecting/disconnecting the DC plug to/from the opposite terminal.

For example, an image pickup unit including a camera or the like may be provided, and the face image data of the user 109 to be picked up may be transmitted to the base station 103.
Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a block configuration of the server 101. The control unit 500 collectively controls the servers 101. The control Unit 500 is a computer system including a processor 501 such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), a memory 502, a vehicle information acquisition Unit 503, a user information acquisition Unit 504, an authentication Unit 505, a status management Unit 506, and a charging Unit 507, which collectively control the operations within the control Unit 500. The operation of the server 101 according to the present embodiment is realized, for example, by the processor 501 executing a program on the memory 502.
The vehicle information acquisition unit 503 receives the vehicle information that has been received via the base station 103 and the network 102, and stores it in the storage unit 510. In the present embodiment, the vehicle information includes, for example, speed information of the vehicle 108, the energy remaining amount of gasoline, a battery, or the like, identification information of the vehicle 108 or the storage box 107, and GPS information. In the present embodiment, since the user 109 is the passenger of the vehicle 108, the GPS information of the portable terminal 105 held by the user 109 is used as the GPS information of the vehicle 108 or the storage box 107. However, it is also possible to transmit GPS information from a GPS provided in the vehicle 108 to the server 101 and use the GPS information.
The user information acquisition unit 504 receives the user information that has been received by the base station 103 and the network 102 and stores it in the storage unit 510. In the present embodiment, the user information includes user-specific information such as the name, sex, date of birth, and the like of the user 109 set on the setting screen of the application when logging in to the shared service. In addition, the user information may include other information. For example, information on whether or not the shared service can be used may be included, and the information may be acquired by accumulating the past usage status (such as a tendency of traveling speed and a charging status) of the shared service by the user 109 in the storage unit 510 and analyzing the accumulation result.
The authentication unit 505 is configured to execute authentication processing of the user 109 when a service start instruction is executed on the screen of the application of the portable terminal 105 after the power supply of the storage box 107 of the vehicle 108 installed at the station is turned on, in order to use the shared service by the user 109. As the authentication process, the following method can be performed: it is possible to confirm that the person located in the vicinity of the vehicle 108 is the user 109 who has logged in the server 101. For example, the method may be a method using a password that has been input to the mobile terminal 105, or a method using biometric information such as a face image and a fingerprint.
The state management unit 506 manages the state (satus) of the vehicle 108 in use of the shared service by the user 109 based on the state information received from the mobile terminal 105 via the base station 103. The state information received from the mobile terminal 105 includes, for example, information indicating the storage state of a helmet and a key in the storage box 107. The state of the vehicle 108 in the present embodiment includes, for example, "rentable", "unavailable", "in reservation", "in rental", and "temporary stop". The term "rentable" means a state in which the shared service is set in a site and is waiting for use. The "rentable disabled" indicates a state where the provision of the shared service is disabled, for example, when the remaining energy amount is equal to or less than a threshold value. The "in-reservation" indicates a state in which the user 109 is connected to the vehicle 108 when there is an application for using the shared service on the setting screen of the application from the user 109, for example, when there is an application for reserving the vehicle. The vehicle 108 in the "reservation" state cannot make a reservation from a user other than the user 109. The term "in lease" indicates a state in which the user 109 can travel the vehicle 108. In the present embodiment, after pairing of the storage box 107 and the portable terminal 105 and authentication of the user 109 have been performed, the locking of the storage box 107 is released, so that the user 109 can take out the helmet and the key, and the state of the vehicle 108 becomes "rental". The "temporary stop" indicates a state in which a helmet and a key are stored in the storage box 107. For example, this state corresponds to a case where the user 109 temporarily gets off and leaves the vehicle 108 due to shopping or the like. In the state of "temporary stop", when the return procedure of the vehicle 108 is instructed from the user 109 on the screen of the application, the vehicle 108 is in the state of "rentable" if a condition that the energy remaining amount is not equal to or less than the threshold value or the like is satisfied. At this time, if the above condition is not satisfied, the vehicle 108 is in a state of "unable to rent". Thus, the state of the vehicle 108 is changed in order from the start to the end of the shared service. The state transition will be described later together with the timing of fig. 6 to 9. The state of the vehicle 108 may be changed based on information other than the state information. For example, the transition may be made also based on vehicle information such as speed information of the vehicle 108.
The charging unit 507 charges the user 109 for the travel time, the travel distance, and the like, for example, after the return procedure of the vehicle 108 is instructed from the user 109 and the vehicle 108 is returned on the screen of the application.
The storage unit 510 stores programs and data for the server 101 to operate and programs and data necessary for the operation of the present embodiment. The storage unit 510 stores the vehicle information acquired by the vehicle information acquisition unit 503 and the user information acquired by the user information acquisition unit 504. Further, the storage unit 510 can also store vehicle information such as a speed that can be acquired by using the shared service of the user 109 at any time. In this case, a database in which the user 109 is associated with the vehicle information can be constructed. In addition, the storage unit 510 stores charging information for each user.
The display unit 511 is, for example, a display, and displays various user interface screens to the user of the server 101. The operation unit 512 can receive an operation from a user, and is, for example, a keyboard or a pointing device. The communication I/F513 is configured to be capable of communication between the server 101 and the network 102, and has a medium corresponding to the network 102. The server 101 is not limited to the block configuration shown in fig. 5, and for example, functional blocks corresponding to functions of the server 101 are appropriately included.
The following describes operations of the shared service executed in the system 100. The user 109 may temporarily stop the vehicle 108 for shopping or the like during the rental use of the vehicle 108, get off the vehicle, and leave the vehicle 108. At this time, the user 109 stores a helmet and a key in the storage box 107, closes the lid, and locks the lid. When the vehicle 108 returns, the lock is released, the helmet and the key are taken out from the storage box 107, and the vehicle 108 starts traveling again.
Here, when the spare key that engages the lock cylinder of the vehicle 108 is copied by another person while the user 109 leaves the vehicle 108, the vehicle 108 is stolen by another person even if the regular key is stored in the storage box 107. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the key is stored in the storage box 107, the vehicle 108 is prohibited from traveling. With such a configuration, security and theft prevention in the shared service can be improved.
Fig. 6 to 9 are diagrams for explaining the actions of the system 100 when the shared service is executed. Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining an operation until the shared service becomes available. Fig. 7 is a diagram for explaining an operation until the user 109 leaves the vehicle 108. Fig. 8 is a diagram for explaining an operation of the user 109 returning to the vehicle 108 until the start of travel. Fig. 9 is a diagram for explaining an operation until the end of the use of the shared service. The state of the vehicle 108 in the station before the start of the process in fig. 6 is "rentable".
In fig. 6, first, the user 109 executes, for example, an application program downloaded from the server 101 to the mobile terminal 105. Then, the user 109 instructs the vehicle 108 to make a reservation on the setting screen (S601). For example, the input of the usage time, usage area, and fee arrangement of the shared service may be received via the setting screen of the application. The input information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 105 to the server 101 via the base station 103 (the description of the base station 103 is omitted hereinafter). As a result, the server 101 associates the mobile terminal 105 with the user information. Hereinafter, the operation of the application by the user will be described as being performed on the mobile terminal 105.
The control unit 500 of the server 101 determines whether or not the shared service using the condition desired by the user 109 can be used, based on the information transmitted from the mobile terminal 105. For example, it is determined whether or not a vehicle in a "rentable" state is present in a utilization area at a utilization time corresponding to the transmitted information. Here, when it is determined that the use of the shared service using the condition desired by the user 109 is not possible, the user 109 is notified of the determination, and the process of fig. 6 is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the shared service using the condition desired by the user 109 can be used, notification information indicating that use is possible is transmitted to the mobile terminal 105 (S602). For example, the control unit 500 of the server 101 transmits a message for displaying "time 12: 00 to 18: 00 vehicle XYZ can be rented. To start the shared service, please press the power button of the storage box of vehicle XYZ at station a. "and" the like. Here, the vehicle 108 becomes a state assigned to the user 109, and the state of the vehicle 108 becomes "reserved".
The user 109 goes to the designated site in accordance with the notification content from the server 101. A vehicle 108 is provided at the site for the user to rent. Then, at the station, the user approaches the vehicle 108 to be rented, and presses the power button of the storage box 107 (S603). When the power button is pressed, the detection of a terminal in the vicinity is started after the storage box 107 is pressed, and when the mobile terminal 105 held by the user 109 is detected (S604), pairing (exchange of device information) is executed (S605). The control unit 300 of the storage box 107 stores the device information (identification information) of the portable terminal 105 acquired by pairing in the storage unit 323.
Then, the user 109 instructs the start of the shared service by pressing a "lease" button or the like on the screen of the application (S606). The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits the authentication information to the server 101 (S607). The authentication information here may be information for confirming that a person located in the vicinity of the vehicle 108 is the user 109 registered in the server 101, and may be biometric information such as a password or face image data. If the result of the authentication at the server machine 101 is authentication OK, notification information indicating the fact is transmitted to the mobile terminal 105, and the subsequent processing can be continued (S608). On the other hand, if the authentication NG is found, the notification information to that effect is transmitted to the mobile terminal 105, and the process of fig. 6 is ended.
The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits unlocking data for unlocking the lid of the storage box 107 to the storage box 107 via the data communication unit 405 (S609). Upon receiving the unlock data, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 sets the lock mechanism 320 to the unlock state by the mechanism control unit 305 (S610). As a result, the user 109 can take out the helmet and the key stored in the storage box 107. The control unit 300 of the storage box 107 transmits control data for turning on the main power supply relay to the vehicle 108 via the data communication unit 303 (S611). Upon receiving the control data, the control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 turns on the main power supply relay (S612). As a result, the user 109 can turn on the main power supply of the vehicle 108 using the key taken out from the storage box 107.
After S610, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 transmits the state information to the mobile terminal 105 via the data communication unit 303 (S613). Here, the status information includes, for example, the following information.
Open/close state of the lid of the storage box 107: closed
Locking/unlocking state of the lid of the storage box 107: unlocking
Connection state of the helmet connection terminal 321: ' unlinked
Connection state of the key connection terminal 322: ' unlinked
The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits the status information received from the storage box 107 to the server 101 via the data communication unit 405 (S614). Upon receiving the state information from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the state of the vehicle 108 to "rental" by the state management unit 506. Then, the server 101 control unit 500 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S615). In this response, for example, "rentable" may be transmitted. The message such as "" display data of the mobile terminal 105. For example, when the open/close state of the lid of the storage box 107 is "open", data for displaying a message indicating the open/close state may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 105.
As described above, the user 109 can rent the vehicle 108, the helmet, and the key to travel through the processing of fig. 6. The following operations will be described with reference to fig. 7.
The user 109 wears the helmet taken out from the storage box 107 and starts traveling of the vehicle 108 in accordance with the driving operation of the user 109 (S701). While the vehicle 108 is traveling, the control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 transmits the vehicle information to the housing box 107 via the vehicle information transmitting unit 203 at predetermined time intervals (S702). Then, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 transmits the vehicle information and the state information received from the vehicle 108 to the portable terminal 105 at predetermined time intervals via the data communication unit 303 (S703). The status information includes the information described above. The vehicle information includes, for example, the following information.
Residual amount of energy
On/off of the main power supply relay: to turn on
On/off of the main power supply: to turn on
Velocity information
The user 109 temporarily stops the vehicle 108 for shopping or the like (S704). In S704, the main power supply of vehicle 108 is turned off by the key operation of user 109. Then, the user 109 stores the helmet and the key in the storage box 107 and closes the lid. In the present embodiment, the storage in the storage box 107 means that a helmet is connected to the helmet connection terminal 321 and a key is connected to the key connection terminal 322. Then, the user 109 instructs the locking of the storage box 107 on the screen of the application program in order to lock the lid of the storage box 107 (S705). In this case, the display control may be performed so that the instruction button cannot be locked in a controlled manner on the screen of the application, for example, when the vehicle is moving, based on the vehicle information and the state information received from the storage box 107. The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits control data for setting the lock state to the storage box 107 via the data communication unit 405 (S706). The control unit 300 of the storage box 107 sets the lock mechanism 320 to the locked state by the mechanism control unit 305 (S707). The control unit 300 of the storage box 107 transmits the state information to the mobile terminal 105 via the data communication unit 303 (S708). The control unit 400 of the portable terminal 105 transmits the state information received from the housing box 107 and the vehicle information received from the housing box 107 in S703 to the server 101 via the data communication unit 405 (S709).
Upon receiving the state information and the vehicle information from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the state of the vehicle 108 to "temporarily stopped" by the state management unit 506. Then, the control unit 500 of the server 101 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S710). When this response is made, for example, the user can also send a "locked" response. The message such as "" display data of the mobile terminal 105.
As described above, according to the processing of fig. 7, when the user 109 temporarily stops the vehicle 108, the user can leave the vehicle 108 after locking by storing the helmet and the key in the storage box 107 and closing the lid. The following operation will be described with reference to fig. 8.
The user 109 returns to the vehicle 108 and instructs the lock release of the storage box 107 on the screen of the application program in order to take out the helmet and the key from the storage box 107 (S801). The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits unlocking data for unlocking the lid of the storage box 107 to the storage box 107 via the data communication unit 405 (S802). When the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 receives the unlock data, the mechanism control unit 305 sets the lock mechanism 320 to the unlock state (S803). As a result, the user 109 can take out the helmet and the key stored in the storage box 107. After S803, a fraud sensing process is performed according to the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 (S804).
Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing the unfairness sensing process of S804. The processing of fig. 10 is executed by the control unit 300 of the storage box 107, for example. At this time, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 may execute the process of fig. 10 under the control of the control unit 200 of the vehicle 108.
In S1001, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 waits for the start of the vehicle 108 using the start operation with the key. For example, when the control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 senses that the Ignition (IGN) by the key is turned on, it determines that the vehicle 108 is started and transmits a sensing signal to the control unit 300 of the container 107. If it is determined that the vehicle 108 has been started, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 performs an authentication process in S1002. The authentication process here is a process for determining whether or not a person located in the vicinity of the vehicle 108 is a user 109 who has logged in the server 101, and for example, whether or not the mobile terminal 105 is detected in the vicinity may be determined. At this time, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 determines whether or not the mobile terminal 105 is detected in the vicinity, based on the device information of the mobile terminal 105 acquired from the pairing in S605 of fig. 6 and stored in the storage unit 323.
If the authentication result is NG in S1002, in S1005, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 generates drive control data for prohibiting the travel of the vehicle 108 by the data communication unit 303, and transmits the drive control data to the vehicle 108. Control unit 200 of vehicle 108 drives control unit 204 to stop the start of vehicle 108 via ECU 210. For example, the electric control may be performed such that the fuel pump for supplying fuel to the internal combustion engine of the vehicle 108 is shut off, or the ignition that has been turned on is forcibly turned off. In S1006, the control unit 300 of the container box 107 generates notification control data for notifying that the travel of the vehicle 108 has been prohibited, via the data communication unit 303, and transmits the notification control data to the vehicle 108. The control portion 200 of the vehicle 108 controls the notification portion 215 by the notification control portion 205 in such a manner that the vehicle 108 is notified via the ECU210 that it has become a situation where it is unable to travel. For example, the notification unit 215 may be controlled to sound a warning sound (buzzer sound). After S1006, the process of fig. 10 is ended, and the process of fig. 8 is ended.
In this way, when the vehicle 108 is started, it is determined whether or not a person located in the vicinity of the vehicle 108 is the user 109 registered in the server 101, based on, for example, device information of a terminal in the vicinity. Then, the driving of the vehicle 108 can be controlled based on the determination result.
In S1006, the mobile terminal 105 notified to the user 109 may be provided. For example, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 may transmit notification information about a suspicious person to the mobile terminal 105. Further, when the user 109 leaves the vehicle 108 and cannot communicate with the portable terminal 105, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 may transmit emergency contact information including vehicle information to the server 101, for example, without passing through the portable terminal 105.
If the authentication result in S1002 is OK, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 determines whether or not the key is stored in the storage box 107 based on the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 in S1003. For example, if the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 is "connected", it is determined that the key is stored in the storage box 107. In this case, even if the main key is stored in the storage box 107, the vehicle 108 is started in S1001, and therefore, there is the possibility of using the spare key. Therefore, in this case, the processes of S1005 and S1006 described above are performed.
On the other hand, for example, if the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 is "unconnected", it is determined that the key is not stored in the storage box 107. In this case, since the vehicle 108 is started using the regular key, the process proceeds to S1004, and the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 permits the vehicle 108 to travel. Here, the permission of traveling means processing for allowing vehicle 108 to travel when the start of vehicle 108 in S1001 is continued. Therefore, S1004 includes a case where no special processing is performed. In S1004, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 transmits the state information to the mobile terminal 105 via the data communication unit 303. After S1004, the process of fig. 10 ends.
Reference is again made to fig. 8. In the case where the process of fig. 10 is ended via S1004, the travel of the vehicle 108 is started in accordance with the driving operation by the user 109 (S805). After S805, the processes of S702 and S703 of fig. 7 are performed.
The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits the state information received from the storage box 107 and the vehicle information received from the storage box 107 in S703 to the server 101 via the data communication unit 405 (S806). Upon receiving the state information and the vehicle information from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the state of the vehicle 108 to "rental" by the state management unit 506. Then, the control unit 500 of the server 101 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S807). When this response is made, for example, if the lid of the storage box 107 is opened, data for displaying a message indicating this can be transmitted to the mobile terminal 105.
As described above, by the processing of fig. 8, it is possible to prevent a situation in which another person other than the user 109 uses a spare key or the like to run the vehicle 108 while the user 109 temporarily stops the vehicle 108 and leaves it. For example, even if the other person can take the mobile terminal 105 from the user 109 and can set the authentication OK in S1002, the travel of the vehicle 108 can be prohibited as long as the formal key is stored in the storage box 107. Further, since the storage box 107 is locked, it is extremely difficult for others to take out the formal key from the storage box 107. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, security against theft in the shared service can be improved. The following operations will be described with reference to fig. 9.
To end the use of the shared service, the user 109 returns to the station and stops the travel of the vehicle 108 (S901). Then, the user 109 stores the helmet and the key in the storage box 107 and closes the lid. The user 109 instructs the locking of the storage box 107 on the screen of the application program in order to lock the lid of the storage box 107 (S902). In this case, the display control may be performed so that the instruction button cannot be locked in a controlled manner on the screen of the application, for example, when the vehicle is moving, based on the vehicle information and the state information received from the storage box 107. The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits control data for setting the lock state to the storage box 107 via the data communication unit 405. The control unit 300 of the storage box 107 sets the lock mechanism 320 to the locked state by the mechanism control unit 305 (S904). The control unit 300 of the storage box 107 transmits the state information to the mobile terminal 105 via the data communication unit 303 (S905). The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits the state information and the vehicle information received from the storage box 107 to the server 101 via the data communication unit 405 (S906).
Upon receiving the state information and the vehicle information from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the state of the vehicle 108 to "temporarily stopped" by the state management unit 506. In practice, although the vehicle is different from the temporary stop, the vehicle is first set to "temporary stop" during the state transition. Then, the control unit 500 of the server 101 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S907). When this response is made, for example, the user can also send a "locked" response. The message such as "" display data of the mobile terminal 105.
Then, the user 109 instructs execution of the return procedure on the screen of the application (S908). After that, the return confirmation processing is performed in the mobile terminal 105 (S909).
Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing the return confirmation processing in S909. The processing in fig. 11 is executed by the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105, for example. In S1101, the control unit 400 acquires GPS information. The GPS information acquired here may be GPS information acquired by the GPS414 of the mobile terminal 105 or GPS information included in vehicle information acquired from the storage box 107.
In S1102, control unit 400 acquires the state information and the vehicle information. Here, the acquired state information and vehicle information include the following information that can determine the result of the return work to be performed by the user 109 at the end of the travel of the vehicle 108.
On/off of the main power supply
Connection state of helmet connection terminal 321
Connection state of the key connection terminal 322
That is, at the end of traveling of the vehicle 108, the return job user 109 is requested to turn off the main power supply by key operation, and store the helmet and the key in the storage box 107. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the result of the return job of the user 109 is determined based on the above information.
In S1103, the control unit 400 determines whether or not the mobile terminal 105 or the vehicle 108 is currently located within the station, based on the GPS information acquired in S1101. If it is determined that the mobile terminal is not located within the station, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 prohibits the end of the shared service in S1108. As the prohibition of the termination of the shared service, for example, the execution instruction of the return procedure accepted in S908 can be cancelled. Then, in S1109, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 displays "shared service cannot be ended" on the display unit 411 by displaying the control unit 404. "is used as the notification message. Thereafter, the processing in fig. 11 and 9 is ended.
If it is determined at S1103 that the vehicle is located inside the station, control unit 400 of mobile terminal 105 determines at S1104 whether or not the main power supply of vehicle 108 has been turned off, based on the vehicle information acquired at S1102. If it is determined that the main power supply of the vehicle 108 is not turned off, the processes of S1108 and S1109 are performed. Thereafter, the processing in fig. 11 and 9 is ended.
If it is determined in S1104 that the main power supply of the vehicle 108 is turned off, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 determines whether or not the key is stored in the storage box 107 based on the state information acquired in S1102 in S1105. If it is determined that the key is not stored in the storage box 107, the processing of S1108 and S1109 is performed. Thereafter, the processing in fig. 11 and 9 is ended.
If it is determined in S1105 that the key is stored in the storage box 107, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 determines in S1106 whether or not the helmet is stored in the storage box 107 based on the state information acquired in S1102. If it is determined that the helmet is not stored in the storage box 107, the processes of S1108 and S1109 are performed. Thereafter, the processing in fig. 11 and 9 is ended.
If it is determined at S1106 that the helmet is stored in the storage box 107, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 allows the shared service to be terminated at S1107. After S1107, the processing of fig. 11 is ended.
In the processing of fig. 11, in S1109, the user 109 may be notified of a message corresponding to each determination result of S1103 to S1106. For example, a notification "please turn off the main power supply" is given. "please confirm the return of the safety helmet/key. "and so on. For example, if it is determined at S1103 that the mobile terminal 105 is not located within the site, the map information up to the site may be displayed together.
Reference is again made to fig. 9. The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 instructs the housing box 107 to end the sharing service through the data communication unit 405 (S910). The process of S910 can also be executed in S1107 in fig. 11.
The control unit 300 of the storage box 107 transmits control data for turning off the main power supply relay to the vehicle 108 via the data communication unit 303 as a process of ending the shared service (S911). Upon receiving the control data, the control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 turns off the main power supply relay. Then, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 requests the power supply control unit 325 to turn off the power supply of the storage box 107 as the end processing of the shared service.
After S911, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 confirms that the power supply of the storage box 107 is turned off by the data communication unit 405 (S912). Then, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits information indicating that the end processing of the shared service is completed to the server 101 via the data communication unit 405 (S913). In this case, the control unit 400 of the portable terminal 105 may transmit the vehicle information received from the storage box 107 while the user 109 is using the shared service.
Upon receiving information indicating that the end processing of the shared service is completed from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the state of the vehicle 108 to "rentable" by the state management unit 506. At this time, if it is determined that the remaining energy amount is not more than the threshold value or the like and it is difficult to continue the use of the vehicle 108, the state of the vehicle 108 is "rentable impossible". After S913, the control unit 500 of the server 101 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S914). When this response is made, for example, the transmission may be made to display "confirmed return" on the mobile terminal 105. "and" the like.
Then, the control unit 500 of the server 101 performs a charging process for the user 109 via the charging unit 507 (S915). In this case, the vehicle information of the vehicle 108 received from the portable terminal 105 in S913 may be used for the charging process.
The operation of the sharing service in the system 100 is completed as described above.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, while the user 109 temporarily stops the vehicle 108 and leaves it, it is possible to prevent another person other than the user 109 from driving the vehicle 108 with a spare key or the like, and it is possible to improve the security of the shared service.
In the present embodiment, a configuration of a DC plug has been described as a configuration for detecting whether the storage box 107 stores a helmet and a key pair. However, the detection configuration is not limited to the DC plug, and for example, the sensor group 310 may include a sensor capable of sensing the installation state of the helmet and the key in the storage box 107, and the control unit 300 may detect the storage/non-storage based on a sensing signal of the sensor. Alternatively, the control unit 300 may detect storage/non-storage based on image data of a camera that captures an image of the inside of the storage box 107.
In the present embodiment, the unauthorized behavior sensing process shown in fig. 10 will be described as a configuration executed in the portable terminal 105, the storage box 107, and the vehicle 108. However, the server 101 may perform at least a part of the processing of fig. 10.
Next, in an example of the present embodiment, a case in which the storage box 120 of fig. 1 is used will be described. As described above, the storage box 120 is a structure in which a plurality of boxes are combined like a locker, and is provided at a position away from the vehicle 122 in a station for renting the vehicle 122 by a user. The storage box 120 has the same configuration as that of fig. 3.
In this case, the user can set a user who wants to use the vehicle 122 by the shared service (referred to as a valid user corresponding to the user 127) and a user who wants to use the vehicle 122 without the shared service (referred to as a fake user corresponding to the user 127) who holds the spare key. Note that the mobile terminal of the user 127 corresponds to the mobile terminal 124 of fig. 1.
First, a case of a valid user will be explained. As described in S602, the authorized user proceeds to the designated site for the use of the shared service in accordance with the notification content from the server 101. A vehicle 122 is provided at the station. Then, at the station, the user goes to the storage box 120 provided near the vehicle 122 in the station, and takes out the helmet and the key from the instructed storage position. In this case, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 may set the corresponding storage position of the storage box 120 to the unlocked state when it senses the approach of the portable terminal (portable terminal 124) of the user and detects the predetermined identification information. Thereafter, the processing of S603 to S615 of fig. 6 is performed.
After S612, the user 109 can turn on the main power supply of the vehicle 108 using the key taken out from the storage box 120. The processing at this time will be described with reference to fig. 10.
In S1001, control unit 200 of vehicle 122 waits for the start of vehicle 122 by the start operation using the key. For example, when the control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 senses that the Ignition (IGN) by the key is turned on, it determines that the vehicle 122 is started and transmits a sensing signal to the control unit 300 of the container 120. If it is determined that vehicle 122 has been started, control unit 300 of storage box 120 performs an authentication process in S1002. The authentication process here is a process for determining whether or not a person located in the vicinity of the vehicle 122 is a user who has logged in the server 101. For example, information on a portable terminal detected in the vicinity of the vehicle 122 may be transmitted to the control unit 300 of the storage box 120, and the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 may determine whether or not the information on the portable terminal is registered in the server 101.
If the authentication result is NG in S1002, in S1005, control unit 300 of storage box 120 generates drive control data for prohibiting vehicle 122 from traveling through data communication unit 303, and transmits the drive control data to vehicle 122. Control unit 200 of vehicle 122 drives control unit 204 to stop starting of vehicle 122 via ECU 210.
In S1006, the control unit 300 of the container box 120 generates notification control data for notifying that the travel of the vehicle 122 has been prohibited, via the data communication unit 303, and transmits the notification control data to the vehicle 122. Control unit 200 of vehicle 122 controls notification unit 215 to notify, via ECU210, control unit 205 that vehicle 122 is unable to travel. For example, the notification unit 215 may be controlled to sound a warning sound (buzzer sound).
If the authentication result is OK in S1002, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 determines whether or not the key is stored in the storage box 120 based on the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 in the storage box 120 in S1003. For example, if the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 is "unconnected", it is determined that the key is not stored in the storage box 120. In this case, since vehicle 122 is started using the official key, the process proceeds to S1004, and control unit 300 of storage box 120 permits traveling of vehicle 122. Here, the permission of traveling means processing for allowing vehicle 122 to travel when the start of vehicle 122 in S1001 is continued. Therefore, S1004 includes a case where no special processing is performed.
Next, a case of a false user will be described. Since the user (user 127) has the spare key and does not have any relation with the shared service but intends to use the vehicle 122, the user does not go to the storage box 120 and intends to turn on the ignition of the vehicle 122 using the spare key. The processing in this case will be described below with reference to fig. 10. The mobile terminal of the pseudo user (user 127) corresponds to the mobile terminal 124 of fig. 1.
In S1001, control unit 200 of vehicle 122 waits for the start of vehicle 122 by the start operation using the key. For example, when the control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 senses that the Ignition (IGN) by the key is turned on, it determines that the vehicle 122 is started, and transmits a sensing signal to the control unit 300 of the container 120. If it is determined that vehicle 122 has been started, control unit 300 of storage box 120 performs an authentication process in S1002. The authentication process here is a process for determining whether or not a person located in the vicinity of the vehicle 122 is a user who has logged in the server 101. For example, information on a portable terminal detected in the vicinity of the vehicle 122 may be transmitted to the control unit 300 of the storage box 120, and the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 may determine whether or not the information on the portable terminal is registered in the server 101.
If the authentication result in S1002 is NG, in S1005, control unit 300 of storage box 120 generates drive control data for prohibiting vehicle 122 from traveling through data communication unit 303, and transmits the drive control data to vehicle 122. Control unit 200 of vehicle 122 drives control unit 204 to stop starting of vehicle 122 via ECU 210.
In S1006, the control unit 300 of the container box 120 generates notification control data for notifying that the travel of the vehicle 122 has been prohibited, via the data communication unit 303, and transmits the notification control data to the vehicle 122. Control unit 200 of vehicle 122 controls notification unit 215 by notification control unit 205 to notify vehicle 122 via ECU210 that the vehicle is unable to travel. For example, the notification unit 215 may be controlled to sound a warning sound (buzzer sound).
If the authentication result is OK in S1002, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 determines whether or not the key is stored in the storage box 120 based on the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 in the storage box 120 in S1003. For example, if the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 is "connected", it is determined that the key is stored in the storage box 120. In this case, even if the regular key is stored in storage box 120, vehicle 122 is already started in S1001, and thus there is the possibility of using the spare key. Therefore, in this case, the processes of S1005 and S1006 described above are performed.
As described above, even when the user is at a station and intends to use the vehicle 122 regardless of the shared service, the use of the vehicle 122 can be controlled according to the presence or absence of the key in the storage box 120. In the case of the present embodiment, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 operates by controlling a vehicle control device that drives the vehicle 122.
In the above-described processing of fig. 10, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 is mainly described, but the processing may be performed by the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 or the control unit 200 of the vehicle 122, or may be performed as a vehicle control system in which the control units cooperate with each other. For example, in S1003, the control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 may perform vehicle control in S1004 or S1005 by receiving a signal indicating the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 in the housing box 120 as a vehicle control device.
