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 present invention, and all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are not necessarily essential to the invention. Two or more of the features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. In the present invention, the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repetitive description thereof will be omitted.
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a system configuration of the shared service according to the present embodiment. The system 100 includes a server 101 for 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 that includes 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 straddle-type vehicles, and may be, for example, four-wheeled vehicles. 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 lends to users who utilize shared services. 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 sharing service, the safety helmet and the key can be transferred to and from a plurality of users in a state of being stored in the storage box.
In the sharing service, the user 109 is a user leasing the vehicle 108, and the user 116 is a user leasing the vehicle 115. In addition, the portable terminal 105 is a portable terminal held by the user 109, and the portable terminal 112 is a portable 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 mobile terminal 105 can perform the wireless communication 106 with the storage box 107 after that by pairing. Similarly, the mobile terminal 112 can perform wireless communication 113 with the storage box 114 after that 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, mobile terminal 112 can communicate with base station 110 via wireless communication 111, and can communicate with server 101 via base station 110 and network 102.
In fig. 1, the communication line between the storage box 107 and the server 101 is shown as being through the mobile terminal 105, but the communication line may be configured so that the communication between the storage box 107 and the server 101 is not through the mobile terminal 105. Similarly, although the communication line between the storage box 114 and the server 101 is shown as being through the mobile terminal 112, the communication line between the storage box 114 and the server 101 may be configured so as to be capable of communication without through the mobile terminal 112.
The users 109, 116 download the application programs provided from the server 101 to the respective portable terminals 105, 112 or access the server 101. Then, the users 109 and 116 can use the shared service by logging in 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 performs pairing by bringing the mobile terminal 105 and the storage box 107 close to each other. 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 mutually associated 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: user 109 rents vehicle 108 at one site and user 116 rents vehicle 115 at another site. After user 109 finishes the lease of vehicle 108, user 116 can lease vehicle 108. In fig. 1, only two sets of combinations of users, mobile terminals and vehicles are shown in the description, but the combination is not limited to two sets. Hereinafter, a user 109, a mobile terminal 105, a vehicle 108, and a storage box 107 will be described as a typical example of a combination of the user, the mobile terminal, and the vehicle shown in fig. 1. The server 101 is shown as one device, but may be configured by a plurality of devices. That is, the server 101 in the present embodiment includes a configuration in which a server function is provided by one device, and a configuration in which a server function is provided by a plurality of devices in linkage. In addition, the system 100 can also include other devices, such as database servers, charging servers, authentication servers, storage, etc., that can also be connected to the network 102.
In fig. 1, the storage box 123 is integrally mounted to the vehicle 122. Fig. 1 shows a case where 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 as in the storage boxes 123, 107, and 114, but is different from the storage boxes 123, 107, and 114 in the portion provided at a position apart from the vehicle 122. For example, the storage box 120 is a structure such as a locker in which a plurality of boxes are combined. The storage box 120 is provided at a position away from the vehicle 122 in a station for allowing a user to rent the vehicle 122, and can communicate with the vehicle 122 or the storage box 123 via, for example, a short-range wireless communication 121 such as Bluetooth. At this time, the storage box 120 may be configured to communicate with the vehicle 122 via the storage box 123, or may be configured to communicate with the vehicle 122 without via the storage box 123. When the user starts the sharing service, for example, 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. Then, when the user temporarily parks the vehicle 122 and leaves the vehicle 122 outside the station, that is, during use of the shared service, the user stores the helmet and the key in the storage box 123.
In addition, the user 127 of fig. 1 is a user who wants to utilize the vehicle 122. The mobile terminal 124 is a mobile terminal held by the user 127. The mobile terminal 124 can communicate with the storage box 123 via the wireless communication 125, and can communicate with the storage box 120 via the wireless communication 126.
First, as an example of the present embodiment, the configurations of the base station 103 to the user 116 in fig. 1 will be described. Next, as an example of the present embodiment, a case of using the storage box 120 of fig. 1 will be described.

The control unit 500 is a computer system including a processor 501 such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit; central processing unit) or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit; graphics processing unit) that collectively controls operations in the control unit 500, 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. The operation of the server 101 of the present embodiment is realized by, for example, the processor 501 executing a program on the memory 502.
The vehicle information acquisition unit 503 receives the vehicle information received by the base station 103 and the network 102, and stores the received vehicle information in the storage unit 510. In the present embodiment, the vehicle information includes, for example, speed information of the vehicle 108, a remaining amount of energy such as gasoline or a battery, identification information of the vehicle 108 or the storage box 107, and GPS information. In the present embodiment, since the user 109 is a rider of the vehicle 108, the GPS information of the mobile 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 use GPS information from a GPS provided in the vehicle 108 by transmitting the GPS information to the server 101.
The user information acquisition unit 504 receives the user information received by the base station 103 and the network 102, and stores the user information in the storage unit 510. In the present embodiment, the user information includes, for example, information unique to the user 109, such as the name, sex, and date of birth, which are set on the setting screen of the application program when logging in to the shared service. In addition, the user information can also 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 storing the past shared service use status (tendency of travel speed, charging status, etc.) of the user 109 in the storage unit 510 and analyzing the stored result.
The authentication unit 505 is configured to perform authentication processing of the user 109 when a service start instruction is executed on a screen of an application of the mobile terminal 105 after the power of the storage box 107 of the vehicle 108 installed at the station is turned on for use of the shared service of the user 109. The following method can be performed as the authentication process: it is possible to confirm that the person located near the vehicle 108 is the user 109 who has been logged in to 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 facial image or a fingerprint.
The state management unit 506 manages the state (status) of the vehicle 108 in use of the shared service of the user 109 based on the state information received from the mobile terminal 105 via the base station 103. The status information received from the mobile terminal 105 includes, for example, information indicating the storage status of the helmet and key in the storage box 107. The states of the vehicle 108 according to the present embodiment include, for example, "can rent", "cannot rent", "reserved", "during rent", and "temporary stop". The term "capable of lease" means a state of being installed in a station and waiting for the use of a shared service. The term "unable to lease" means a state in which, for example, provision of a shared service such as an energy remaining amount of a power supply is unable to be performed. The term "in-reservation" refers to a state in which the user 109 is connected to the vehicle 108 when there is an application for the use of the shared service on the setting screen of the application program from the user 109, for example, an application for reservation of the vehicle. The vehicle 108 in the "reservation" state cannot reserve a reservation from a user other than the user 109. The term "during lease" refers to a state in which the user 109 can travel the vehicle 108. In the present embodiment, after the pairing of the storage box 107 and the mobile terminal 105 and the authentication of the user 109 are performed, the user 109 can take out the helmet and the key by releasing the lock of the storage box 107, and the state of the vehicle 108 becomes "during lease". The term "temporary stop" means a state in which the helmet and the key are stored in the storage box 107. For example, this state corresponds to a case where the user 109 gets off temporarily due to shopping or the like and leaves the vehicle 108. In the "temporary stop" state, when a return operation of the vehicle 108 is instructed from the user 109 on the screen of the application, the vehicle 108 is in a "rentable" state if a condition is satisfied such as the remaining amount of energy is not equal to or less than the threshold value. At this time, if the above condition is not satisfied, the vehicle 108 is in a "unable to rent" state. Thus, the state of the vehicle 108 sequentially changes from the start to the end of the sharing service. The state transition will be described later together with the timings of fig. 6 to 9. The state of the vehicle 108 may be changed according to information other than the state information. For example, the transition may be made based on vehicle information such as speed information of the vehicle 108.
The charging unit 507 charges the user 109 for the vehicle 108 based on, for example, the travel time, the travel distance, and the like, 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 a program or data for the operation of the server 101 and a program or data required 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. The storage unit 510 may store vehicle information such as a speed acquired by the use of the sharing service of the user 109 as needed. In this case, a database can be constructed in which the user 109 and the vehicle information are associated. The storage unit 510 stores charging information for each user.
The display 511 is, for example, a display, and displays various user interface screens for the user of the server 101. The operation unit 512 can receive an operation from a user, 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 configuration 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 the functions of the server 101 are appropriately included.
The operation of the sharing service performed in the system 100 will be described below. The user 109 may get off the vehicle 108 while temporarily stopping the vehicle for shopping or the like during lease of the vehicle 108. At this time, the user 109 houses the helmet and the key in the housing box 107, closes the cover, and locks the cover. When returning to the vehicle 108, the safety helmet and the key are removed from the storage box 107 by unlocking the safety helmet and the key, and the vehicle 108 starts running again.
Here, when the spare key of the lock cylinder of the vehicle 108 has been copied by another person during the time when the user 109 leaves the vehicle 108, the vehicle 108 is stolen by another person even if the key is stored in the storage box 107. Therefore, in the present embodiment, if the key is stored in the storage box 107, the running of the vehicle 108 is prohibited. With this configuration, security and theft prevention in 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 is in a usable state. 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 from the time of returning the vehicle 108 to the time of starting the traveling. 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 of fig. 6 is "available for lease".
In fig. 6, first, the user 109 executes, for example, an application program that has been downloaded from the server 101 to the portable terminal 105. Then, the user 109 instructs execution of reservation of the vehicle 108 on the setting screen (S601). For example, the input of the utilization time, the utilization area, the fee scheme, and the like of the shared service may be received via the setting screen of the application program. The inputted 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 later). As a result, the server 101 associates the mobile terminal 105 with the user information. Hereinafter, an operation of an application program by the user will be described as being performed by the mobile terminal 105.
The control unit 500 of the server 101 determines whether or not the use of the shared service using the condition desired by the user 109 is possible based on the information transmitted from the mobile terminal 105. For example, it is determined whether or not a "lease-enabled" vehicle exists in the use time and use area 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 fact, and the process of fig. 6 is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the use of the shared service using the condition desired by the user 109 is possible, the notification information of the fact 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" to the mobile terminal 105: 00 to 18: vehicle XYZ can be leased up to 00. To start the sharing service, the power button of the storage box of vehicle XYZ of station a is pressed. Data of messages such as "" and the like. Here, the vehicle 108 is assigned to the user 109, and the state of the vehicle 108 is "reserved".
The user 109 goes to the specified site in accordance with the notification content from the server 101. A vehicle 108 is provided at the site for renting the user. Then, in 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, detection of a nearby terminal is started after the storage box 107, and when the portable terminal 105 held by the user 109 is detected (S604), pairing (exchange of device information) is performed (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 sharing service by pressing the "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, for example, a password or biometric information such as facial image data, as long as the authentication information is information for confirming that the person located near the vehicle 108 is the user 109 registered in the server 101. If the authentication result at the server 101 is authentication OK, the notification information of the fact is transmitted to the mobile terminal 105, and the subsequent processing can be continued (S608). On the other hand, if NG is authenticated, the notification information of the subject matter is transmitted to portable terminal 105, and the process of fig. 6 is terminated.
The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits lock release information for releasing the lock of the cover of the storage box 107 to the storage box 107 via the data communication unit 405 (S609). When the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 receives the lock release data, the mechanism control unit 305 sets the lock mechanism 320 to the lock released state (S610). As a result, the user 109 can take out the helmet and 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 relay to the vehicle 108 through the data communication unit 303 (S611). When receiving the control data, the control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 turns on the main power 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 status 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 cover of the storage box 107: closing
Lock/unlock state of cover of storage box 107: unlocking method
Connection state of the helmet connection terminal 321: unconnected
Connection state of key connection terminal 322: unconnected
The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits the status information received from the storage box 107 to the server 101 through the data communication unit 405 (S614). Upon receiving the status information from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the status of the vehicle 108 to "lease" by the status management unit 506. Thereafter, the server 101 control unit 500 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S615). In response to this, for example, the transmission may be configured to transmit "can lease". Such messages are displayed on the data of the mobile terminal 105. For example, if the open/close state of the lid of the storage box 107 is "open", data for displaying a message indicating the open/close state on the mobile terminal 105 may be transmitted.
As described above, the user 109 can rent the vehicle 108, the helmet, and the key to travel by the process of fig. 6. The following operation is described with reference to fig. 7.
The user 109 wears the helmet taken out from the storage box 107, and starts running the vehicle 108 in accordance with the driving operation of the user 109 (S701). During traveling of the vehicle 108, the control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 transmits the vehicle information to the storage 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 status information received from the vehicle 108 to the mobile terminal 105 at predetermined time intervals through the data communication unit 303 (S703). The status information includes the information described above. The vehicle information includes, for example, the following information.
Energy surplus
On/off of main power relay: opening
On/off of main power supply: opening
Speed information
The user 109 temporarily parks the vehicle 108 by shopping or the like (S704). In S704, the main power supply of the vehicle 108 is turned off by the key operation of the user 109. Then, the user 109 stores the helmet and the key in the storage box 107 and closes the cover. In the present embodiment, the term "stored in the storage box 107" means that the helmet is connected to the helmet connection terminal 321, and the key is connected to the key connection terminal 322. Then, the user 109 instructs the lock of the storage box 107 on the screen of the application program in order to lock the cover of the storage box 107 (S705). In this case, for example, if the vehicle is moving, display control may be performed so that the instruction button for locking cannot be received on the screen of the application program 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 locked 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 status information to the mobile terminal 105 via the data communication unit 303 (S708). The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits the status 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 (S709).
When receiving the status information and the vehicle information from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the status of the vehicle 108 to "temporary stop" by the status management unit 506. Thereafter, the control unit 500 of the server 101 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S710). In response to this, for example, the transmission may be configured to transmit "locked". Such messages are displayed on the data of the mobile terminal 105.
As described above, by the process of fig. 7, when the user 109 temporarily stops the vehicle 108, the user can store the helmet and the key in the storage box 107 and close the cover, and leave the vehicle 108 after locking. The following operation is 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 lock release information for releasing the lock of the cover 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 lock release data, the mechanism control unit 305 sets the lock mechanism 320 to the lock released state (S803). As a result, the user 109 can take out the helmet and key stored in the storage box 107. After S803, the improper behavior sensing process is performed according to the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 (S804).
Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing the improper behavior 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 processing 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 of the key. For example, when the control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 senses that an Ignition (IGN) is turned on by a key, it determines that the vehicle 108 has been started, and transmits the sensing signal to the control unit 300 of the storage box 107. When it is determined that the vehicle 108 has been started, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 performs authentication processing in S1002. The authentication process here is a process for determining whether or not a person located near the vehicle 108 is the user 109 who is already logged in to the server 101, and may be performed by determining whether or not the mobile terminal 105 is detected near, for example. At this time, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 determines whether or not the portable terminal 105 is detected in the vicinity, based on the device information of the portable terminal 105 acquired by the pairing in S605 of fig. 6 and stored in the storage unit 323.
If the authentication result is NG in S1002, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 generates driving control data for prohibiting the travel of the vehicle 108 through the data communication unit 303 and transmits the driving control data to the vehicle 108 in S1005. The control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 controls the drive control unit 204 to stop the start of the vehicle 108 via the ECU 210. For example, it is possible to perform control such as forcibly turning off the already-turned-on igniter, in order to cut off the power supply to the fuel pump of the internal combustion engine for supplying fuel to the vehicle 108. In S1006, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 generates notification control data for notifying that the traveling of the vehicle 108 has been prohibited, through the data communication unit 303, and transmits the notification control data to the vehicle 108. The control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 controls the notification unit 215 so as to notify the ECU210 that the vehicle 108 has become unable to run by notifying the control unit 205. For example, the notification unit 215 may be controlled to sound a warning sound (beep). After S1006, the process of fig. 10 is ended, and the process of fig. 8 is ended.
In this way, when the vehicle 108 has been started, it is determined whether or not the person located near the vehicle 108 is the user 109 who has logged in to the server 101, for example, based on the device information of the nearby terminal. Then, the driving of the vehicle 108 can be controlled based on the determination result.
In S1006, the mobile terminal 105 to be notified to the user 109 may also be used. For example, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 may be configured to transmit notification information about a suspicious person to the mobile terminal 105. In addition, when the user 109 leaves the vehicle 108 and cannot communicate with the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 may transmit, for example, emergency contact information including vehicle information to the server 101 without passing through the mobile terminal 105.
If the authentication result is OK at S1002, 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 at 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 key is stored in the storage box 107, the vehicle 108 is started in S1001, and thus the spare key can be used. In this case, therefore, the processing of S1005 and S1006 described above is 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 key, the process proceeds to S1004, and the control unit 300 of the storage box 107 allows the vehicle 108 to travel. Here, the permission of travel refers to a process for enabling the vehicle 108 to travel when the start of the 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 status information to the mobile terminal 105 via the data communication unit 303. After S1004, the process of fig. 10 ends.
Referring again to fig. 8. When the process of fig. 10 is ended through S1004, the travel of the vehicle 108 is started in accordance with the driving operation of the user 109 (S805). After S805, the processing of S702 and S703 in fig. 7 is performed.
The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits the status information received from the storage box 107 and the vehicle information received from the storage box 107 in S703 to the server 101 through the data communication unit 405 (S806). Upon receiving the status information and the vehicle information from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the status of the vehicle 108 to "lease" through the status management unit 506. Thereafter, the control unit 500 of the server 101 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S807). In response to this, for example, when the cover of the storage box 107 is opened, data for displaying the message of the effect on the mobile terminal 105 may be transmitted.
As described above, by the processing of fig. 8, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a person other than the user 109 uses a spare key or the like to run the vehicle 108 while the user 109 temporarily parks the vehicle 108 and leaves. Further, for example, even if the other person takes 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 if the key is stored in the storage box 107. In addition, since the storage box 107 is locked, it is extremely difficult for others to take out the key from the storage box 107. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, security and theft prevention in shared service can be improved. The following operation is described with reference to fig. 9.
To end the use of the sharing service, the user 109 returns to the station and stops the travel of the vehicle 108 (S901). Then, the user 109 houses the helmet and the key in the housing box 107 and closes the cover. The user 109 instructs the screen of the application program to lock the cover of the storage box 107 (S902). In this case, for example, if the vehicle is moving, display control may be performed so that the instruction button for locking cannot be received on the screen of the application program 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 locked 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 status information to the mobile terminal 105 through the data communication unit 303 (S905). The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 transmits the status information and the vehicle information received from the storage box 107 to the server 101 through the data communication unit 405 (S906).
When receiving the status information and the vehicle information from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the status of the vehicle 108 to "temporary stop" by the status management unit 506. In practice, the state transition is different from the temporary stop described above, but the temporary stop is set to be "temporary stop". Thereafter, the control unit 500 of the server 101 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S907). In response to this, for example, the transmission may be configured to transmit "locked". Such messages are displayed on the data of the mobile terminal 105.
Then, the user 109 instructs execution of the return procedure on the screen of the application (S908). Thereafter, the mobile terminal 105 performs a return confirmation process (S909).
Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing the return confirmation processing of S909. The processing of 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 either GPS information acquired by the GPS414 of the mobile terminal 105 or GPS information included in the vehicle information acquired from the storage box 107.
In S1102, the control unit 400 acquires status information and vehicle information. Here, the acquired status information and vehicle information include the following information that can determine the result of the return operation to be performed by the user 109 at the end of the travel of the vehicle 108.
On/off of main power supply
Connection state of helmet connection terminal 321
Connection state of key connection terminal 322
That is, at the end of the travel of the vehicle 108, the user 109 is requested to turn off the main power supply by a key operation as a return operation, and the helmet and the key are stored 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 current mobile terminal 105 or vehicle 108 is located in the station based on the GPS information acquired in S1101. If it is determined that the mobile terminal 105 is not located in the site, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 prohibits the end of the sharing service in S1108. As the prohibition of the end of the sharing service, for example, the execution instruction of the return procedure accepted in S908 may be canceled. Then, in S1109, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 displays "sharing service cannot be ended" on the display unit 411 by the display control unit 404. Notification message of "" the message. Thereafter, the processing of fig. 11 and 9 ends.
If it is determined in S1103 that the vehicle is located in a station, in S1104, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 determines whether or not the main power supply of the vehicle 108 has been turned off, based on the vehicle information acquired in S1102. When it is determined that the main power supply of the vehicle 108 is not turned off, the processing of S1108 and S1109 is performed. Thereafter, the processing of fig. 11 and 9 ends.
If it is determined in S1104 that the main power supply of the vehicle 108 has been turned off, in S1105, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 determines whether or not the key has been stored in the storage box 107 based on the state information acquired in S1102. When 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 of fig. 11 and 9 ends.
When it is determined in S1105 that the key is stored in the storage box 107, in S1106 the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 determines whether or not the helmet is stored in the storage box 107 based on the state information acquired in S1102. When it is determined that the helmet is not stored in the storage box 107, the processing of S1108 and S1109 is performed. Thereafter, the processing of fig. 11 and 9 ends.
When it is determined in S1106 that the helmet is stored in the storage box 107, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 allows the sharing service to be ended in S1107. After S1107, the process of fig. 11 ends.
In the processing of fig. 11, in S1109, the user 109 may be notified of a message corresponding to each of the determination results of S1103 to S1106. For example, notify "please set the main power to off". "please confirm the return of the helmet/key". Information such as "" and the like. In S1103, for example, when it is determined that the mobile terminal 105 is not located in the site, map information up to the site may be displayed together.
Referring again to fig. 9. The control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 instructs the storage box 107 to end the sharing service through the data communication unit 405 (S910). The process of S910 can also be performed in S1107 of fig. 11.
The control unit 300 of the storage box 107 transmits control data for turning off the main power relay to the vehicle 108 through the data communication unit 303 as an end process of the sharing service (S911). When receiving the control data, the control unit 200 of the vehicle 108 turns off the main power 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 an ending process of the sharing 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 has been completed to the server 101 via the data communication unit 405 (S913). In this case, the control unit 400 of the mobile terminal 105 may transmit the vehicle information received from the storage box 107 during the use of the sharing service of the user 109.
When receiving information indicating that the end processing of the shared service has been completed from the mobile terminal 105, the control unit 500 of the server 101 sets the state of the vehicle 108 to "available for lease" by the state management unit 506. At this time, when it is determined that there is a difficulty in continuing the use of the vehicle 108, such as the remaining amount of energy being equal to or less than the threshold value, the state of the vehicle 108 is set to "unable to be leased". After S913, the control unit 500 of the server 101 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 105 (S914). In response to this, for example, it may be configured to transmit a message for displaying "confirmed return" on the mobile terminal 105. Data of messages such as "" and the like.
Then, the control unit 500 of the server 101 performs a charging process for the user 109 through the charging unit 507 (S915). In this case, the vehicle information of the vehicle 108 received from the mobile terminal 105 at S913 may be used for the charging process.
The above operation of the sharing service in the system 100 ends.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the user 109 from traveling the vehicle 108 by a spare key or the like, unlike the case where the user 109 temporarily parks the vehicle 108 and leaves, and to improve the security of the sharing service.
In the present embodiment, the configuration of the DC plug has been described as a configuration for detecting whether the helmet and the key are stored in or not in the storage box 107. However, the detection structure 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 be configured to detect whether or not the helmet and the key are stored based on the sensing signal of the sensor. Alternatively, the control unit 300 may detect whether or not the storage is in the storage box 107 based on image data of a camera that performs image capturing inside the storage box.
In the present embodiment, the misbehavior sensing process of fig. 10 is described in terms of the configuration executed in the mobile terminal 105, the storage box 107, and the vehicle 108. However, it is also possible to provide the server 101 with at least a part of the processing of fig. 10.
Next, in the case of the example of the present embodiment, the case of using the storage box 120 of fig. 1 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 structure as in fig. 3.
The user in this case can set a user who wants to use the vehicle 122 by the shared service (referred to as a legitimate user corresponding to the user 127) and a user who holds the spare key and wants to use the vehicle 122 irrespective of the shared service (referred to as a fake user corresponding to the user 127). The portable terminal of the user 127 corresponds to the portable terminal 124 of fig. 1.
First, a case of a legitimate user will be described. As described above in S602, the legitimate user goes 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 moves to the storage box 120 near the vehicle 122 installed in the station, and takes out the helmet and the key from the instructed storage position. At this time, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 may be configured to set the corresponding storage position of the storage box 120 to the unlocked state when the proximity of the portable terminal (portable terminal 124) of the user is detected and predetermined identification information is detected. 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, the control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 waits for the start of the vehicle 122 by a start operation using a key. For example, when the control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 senses that an Ignition (IGN) is turned on by a key, it determines that the vehicle 122 has been started, and transmits the sensing signal to the control unit 300 of the storage box 120. When it is determined that the vehicle 122 has been started, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 performs authentication processing in S1002. The authentication process here is a process for determining whether or not a person located near the vehicle 122 is a user who has logged in to the server 101. For example, it is also possible to send information of the mobile terminal detected near the vehicle 122 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 of the mobile terminal is registered in the server 101.
If the authentication result is NG in S1002, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 generates driving control data for prohibiting the vehicle 122 from traveling through the data communication unit 303 and transmits the driving control data to the vehicle 122 in S1005. The control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 controls the drive control unit 204 to stop the start of the vehicle 122 via the ECU 210.
In S1006, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 generates notification control data for notifying that the travel of the vehicle 122 has been prohibited, through the data communication unit 303, and transmits the notification control data to the vehicle 122. The control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 controls the notification unit 215 so as to notify, via the ECU210, that the vehicle 122 has become unable to travel by notifying the control unit 205. For example, the notification unit 215 may be controlled to sound a warning sound (beep).
When 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 the vehicle 122 is started using the key, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 proceeds to S1004 to allow the vehicle 122 to travel. Here, the permission of travel refers to a process for enabling the vehicle 122 to travel when the start of the vehicle 122 in S1001 is continued. Therefore, S1004 includes a case where no special processing is performed.
Next, a case of a fake user will be described. Since the dummy user (user 127) keeps the spare key and does not relate to the shared service but wants to use the vehicle 122, the spare key is used to turn on the ignition of the vehicle 122 without going to the storage box 120. The processing in this case will be described below with reference to fig. 10. The mobile terminal of the dummy user (user 127) corresponds to the mobile terminal 124 of fig. 1.
In S1001, the control portion 200 of the vehicle 122 waits for the start of the vehicle 122 by a start operation using a key. For example, when the control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 senses that an Ignition (IGN) is turned on by a key, it determines that the vehicle 122 has been started, and transmits the sensing signal to the control unit 300 of the storage box 120. When it is determined that the vehicle 122 has been started, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 performs authentication processing in S1002. The authentication process here is a process for determining whether or not a person located near the vehicle 122 is a user who has logged in to the server 101. For example, it is also possible to send information of the mobile terminal detected near the vehicle 122 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 of the mobile terminal is registered in the server 101.
If the authentication result is NG at S1002, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 generates driving control data for prohibiting the travel of the vehicle 122 through the data communication unit 303 and transmits the driving control data to the vehicle 122 at S1005. The control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 controls the drive control unit 204 to stop the start of the vehicle 122 via the ECU 210.
In S1006, the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 generates notification control data for notifying that the traveling of the vehicle 122 has been prohibited, through the data communication unit 303, and transmits the notification control data to the vehicle 122. The control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 controls the notification unit 215 so as to notify the ECU210 that the vehicle 122 has become unable to travel by notifying the control unit 205. For example, the notification unit 215 may be controlled to sound a warning sound (beep).
When 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 key is stored in the storage box 120, the vehicle 122 is started in S1001, and thus the spare key can be used. In this case, therefore, the processing of S1005 and S1006 described above is performed.
As described above, even when the user wants to use the vehicle 122 in the station independently of the shared service, the user can control the use of the vehicle 122 according to the presence or absence of the key in the storage box 120. In the present example, 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 has been described as a main body, but it may be configured to operate as a vehicle control system in which the control unit 300 of the storage box 120 or the control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 is a main body, or as a coordinated control unit. For example, in S1003, the control unit 200 of the vehicle 122 may be configured to perform vehicle control in S1004 or S1005 by receiving a signal indicating the connection state of the key connection terminal 322 in the storage box 120 as a vehicle control device.
