- the method may comprise a step of modifying the availability status of the vehicle for its reservation by a second user comprising: identifying the second user registered in a database of a service of access to a fleet of vehicles; generation of a free access indicator of a vehicle; first transmission by a server to at least one second user of a set of information including the free access indicator; second automatic transmission of the information set including said free access indicator to at least one vehicle via a short-range wireless link; recording of the set of information received by the vehicle in a memory of said vehicle; activation of an unlocking of access to the vehicle.
- the free access indicator is advantageously associated with the identifier of a second user, the second set of information transmitted to the vehicle further comprising a user identifier.
- the method may further comprise the following step: reception by the server of a request for access to a vehicle by the second user prior to the generation of a free access indicator.
- the method comprises consecutively identifying the second user a comparison between at least one position of the vehicle and a position of said second user to activate the generation of a free access indicator for the second user to be transmitted to the vehicle .
- the method comprises consecutively to the access request, a selection of a vehicle from the second equipment from a list of vehicles generated by said server.
- the process comprises the following steps:
- Update of a database modifying a vehicle availability status within a fleet of vehicles by a calculator of the remote server Another aspect of the invention relates to a system comprising at least one mobile terminal and a server for implementing any of the steps of the method defined above.
- FIG. 2 an exemplary embodiment of an implementation of the steps of the invention in order to modify a vehicle availability status.
- a service all the features offered and provided by the SERV server and at least one EQi equipment connected to the SERV server via a data network.
- the service may include, for example, the following features:
- FIG. 1 represents four entities, including a first equipment EQi of a user Ui, a second equipment EQ 2 of a second user U 2 , a remote server, noted SERV, and an equipment EQCAR arranged in a vehicle CAR.
- the CAR vehicle is a vehicle of a fleet of vehicles dedicated to renting for users subscribing to a service.
- each user Ui is registered with a rights management server which may or may not be the remote server SERV.
- Ui users access a service corresponding to access to a set of vehicles of a park.
- the registration of a user is performed with a web service of a remote server associated with the service.
- the registration comprises the registration of a user identifier Ui and a network address @EQi of the user equipment EQi, it can be a port, an IP address, a MAC address or any other address or combinations of constituent elements of addresses for identifying an EQi user equipment.
- the users Ui are pre-registered from software and are known because an identifier is registered in a remote database.
- a database associates a CAR vehicle with a user Ui when the latter uses a CAR vehicle.
- the SERV server comprises a function making it possible to carry out the associations.
- a user equipment is used by the vehicle as a relay for transmitting data to a remote server SERV.
- the exchanges between the EQCAR vehicle equipment and an EQi user equipment may therefore include authentication data.
- the EQi equipment and the EQCAR equipment attempt to establish a short-range connection L Cpi in order to exchange a message Mi for transmission via a NET data network to a remote server SERV.
- the message Mi can then, for example, include data enabling the user Ui to be given certain temporary rights so that he can exchange data with the remote server SERV, in particular to activate an update of the database which is managed by the SERV server.
- the server SERV can then be coupled or not to another authentication server, for example to allow to recognize the user Ui and to associate him with predefined rights.
- a server for example, managing user rights relating to a set of users of a rental service of a fleet of vehicles and associated services to activate the availability of a vehicle in the park to the place of the vehicle.
- the equipment EQ-i, EQ 2 are mobile electronic equipment comprising a communication interface, for example GSM, GPRS 3G, UMTS, 4G, LTE or Wifi, for establishing a wireless communication link with communication equipment of a data network, such as the internet network.
- the communication equipment may be, for example, a switch, a router, a server of a network, a base station of a mobile terminal network such as an enodeB or a nodeB for LTE, UMTS networks.
- the equipment EQi, EQ 2 are preferably smartphones or digital tablets.
- the equipment includes, for example, an executable code of a downloadable application for performing the functions of the methods of the invention.
- the server SERV performs certain steps of the method of the invention which can also correspond to functions of a software. It can be a single equipment such as a computer with resources to perform the functions of a server. According to an alternative of the invention, the functions of the server SERV can be provided by a plurality of servers, that is computers. For example, an authentication server, in particular for managing the user rights and a server storing the fleet information can be configured to perform the method of the invention.
- the user data and the vehicle data are stored in a cloud, otherwise called “cloud” and having a plurality of memory resources synchronized with each other and accessible from the NET data network.
- Framework of the invention is a cloud, otherwise called “cloud” and having a plurality of memory resources synchronized with each other and accessible from the NET data network.
- the vehicle CAR is in the context of the invention a vehicle of a fleet of vehicles available for booking via a service to which users are subscribers.
- a reservation system makes it possible, from an EQi equipment, to reserve an available vehicle by generating a request from a SERV server.
- the request is then transmitted via a NET data network, represented in FIG. 1, for example the Internet.
- a NET data network represented in FIG. 1, for example the Internet.
- An interest of such a network is to allow users to easily book their vehicle from almost anywhere.
- the SERV server can then manage vehicle availability information in order to inform the service subscribers of the locality of the vehicles and their availability. After using a vehicle, the availability information is then updated by the transmission of messages from the CAR vehicle to the SERV server.
- the SERV server is, in this example, accessible from the NET network.
- the invention is placed in a context in which a park CAR vehicle is parked in an area not covered Pi by a NET data network, te! closed parking, a basement or any other place not having sufficient exposure to allow the passage of wireless communications with a PA access point to the data network.
- the NET network relies on an infrastructure for routing wireless communications from mobile terminals to network devices and vice versa.
- the access point P Ai to the network NET may be, for example, a relay terminal, a base station, a WIFI home access point or any other network equipment capable of providing a communication interface with a data network, as for example internet.
- FIG. 1 represents a case in which the CAR vehicle has been used by a first user Ui. This last station for example the CAR vehicle in a closed parking P1 after having used it. The CAR car becomes available again for other users. In this case, the parking P1 does not allow the CAR vehicle, and more particularly its equipment EQ C AR. receiving or transmitting data within the NET data network via the PAi access point.
- the isolation of the vehicle CAR vis-à-vis the network is shown in Figure 1 by a symbol NO_COUV.
- the CAR vehicle can not declare its availability to an automated fleet management service.
- the invention enables the establishment of a communication between the equipment EQ-i of the first user Ui and the equipment EQ C AR of the vehicle CAR in order to close the phase of use of the vehicle CAR.
- the communication is a short-range communication, noted LCPI, for example of the Bluetooth type. Any other type of short-range protocol can be used.
- the activation of the LCPI short-range communication can be initiated:
- the equipment EQi following a user action Ui, a transmission of a reservation end information then being sent to the equipment EQCAR of the vehicle CAR.
- This initiation can be triggered automatically by the user equipment EQ1.
- the EQ-i equipment includes a function that automatically triggers the Bluetooth connection in order to send a message to the CAR vehicle.
- the end of reservation information may be, for example, generated by the equipment EQi or by an action of the user Ui on a control of the dashboard of the vehicle CAR.
- the LCPI short-range link is a Bluetooth link.
- the scope of such a liaison Bluetooth can be advantageously of fifteen meters.
- An interest is to allow a transfer from the equipment of the vehicle CAR end of use information possibly to a user Ui of the service that might be close to the CAR vehicle. This may be of interest when the first user Ui rushly leaves the vehicle location without receiving the vehicle availability data to update with the server SERV.
- the equipment EQ C AR of the vehicle CAR detects a failure of the connection with a data network and therefore with the remote server SERV and that it detects that it is stationary or at a standstill or that it receives end-of-use information from the CAR vehicle, it automatically initiates a connection procedure on the short-range link with the Ui user's EQi equipment or with any other equipment of a service subscriber likely to be located nearby.
- the user Ui when the user Ui indicates a state of end of reservation in order to release the vehicle CAR, it generates a command from its equipment EQi. The control then automatically activates the short-range wireless link L Cpi in order to exchange the new availability status of the CAR vehicle.
- the CAR vehicle status is selected from the following statuses: ⁇ AVAILABLE; NONJ3ISPONIBLE ⁇ , in this case as "AVAILABLE”.
- the vehicle switches its status to "AVAILABLE” provided that another field is not taken into account in the determination of the status of the vehicle CAR.
- the activation of the short-range link L Cpi makes it possible to transfer a message Mi comprising an availability information to the equipment EQi or to another equipment of a user of the vehicle reservation service.
- the availability information is then stored in the equipment EQi of the user Ui.
- the user Ui then leaves the parking place of the vehicle CAR, for example when leaving a car park Pi. It is then under the cover network of AP access point ! .
- the EQi equipment can therefore access the NET data network and therefore the SERV server.
- the invention makes it possible, when the equipment EQ 1 detects the NET network, to transfer the availability information to the server SERV automatically so that the server can update a database of the available vehicles.
- the car CAR can then be reserved by another user, for example U 2 in FIG.
- FIG. 1 represents a case of a second user U2 entering the car park P1 and wishing to reserve a CAR vehicle of the park by means of the service proposed by the server SERV and a client application of the equipment EQ 2 .
- the server SERV then generates a message M 2 containing free access information I DACCES to the vehicle CAR which is transmitted to the equipment EQ 2 for the purpose that it can be transmitted to the CAR vehicle if the user U 2 approaches sufficiently close to the vehicle CAR, that is to say in the range of the short-range link L C pi of the CAR vehicle.
- This feature enables the CAR vehicle to automatically activate its access by receiving an M 2 message from the SERV server via a subscriber user U 2 to the service.
- the U 2 user may have previously reserved the CAR vehicle or simply allowed, thanks to its equipment EQ 2 , to transmit the message M 2 to the CAR vehicle.
- the method of handing over a vehicle to the fleet of available vehicles is effected by issuing a first message from the vehicle to the SERV server to indicate the end of a previous use and by receiving a second message of availability of the vehicle so that a third party user can book the vehicle.
- the CAR vehicle which can not directly transmit the information because it is not covered by the NET network, uses the LCPI short-range link with at least one EQi user equipment in order to transmit the first signal.
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the main steps of an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 represents four entities already represented in FIG. 1, namely the equipment EQ C AR of the vehicle CAR, the equipment EQi of a first user Ui leaving the vehicle CAR after its use, the server SERV hosting in particular at least a function of the vehicle reservation service and an equipment EQ 2 of a user U 2 likely to evolve near the CAR vehicle or wishing to reserve the latter.
- the method makes it possible to generate an availability indicator I DDISPO making it possible to indicate to the server SERV that a CAR vehicle is available again in the fleet of vehicles available after use by a user U 1 .
- the method of the invention comprises a first GENJ DDISPO step for generating an IDDISPO availability indicator of the CAR vehicle.
- This last indicator IDDISPO is generated after a detection of an end-of-use information of the vehicle is received by the equipment EQ C AR CAR vehicle.
- the generation of the indicator I DDISPO is carried out by means of a computer of the electronic equipment of the vehicle EQCAR-
- the method comprises a transmission step TRANSi_Mi of a message Mi from the server SERV to the equipment EQi via a short-range link LCPI.
- the EQCAR equipment therefore includes a wireless communication interface for establishing short-range links with third-party equipment.
- the CAR vehicle engages a broadcast transmission or several point-point transmissions with a plurality of user equipment Ui likely to be close to the CAR vehicle. This case may occur when the first user Ui does not activate his Bluetooth link or when an event prevents the short-range link L C pi from being operational.
- the CAR vehicle may broadcast by default a message Mi by means of a short-range link with one or more equipment detected near the CAR vehicle whatsoever EQI equipment or another EQi.
- the invention makes it possible to temporarily use an equipment EQi of a user Ui as a relay for transmitting the message M- t .
- the resources of the equipment EQi are then used, such as its memory, its computer and its interface to transmit the message Mi. This last message Mi will then be re-transmitted to the server SERV when the equipment EQi will be covered by the network NET .
- an automatic periodic reconnection is performed so as to favor positive attempts to send the IVL message to the SERV server.
- the vehicle CAR reissues the message Mi until an acknowledgment issued by the server SERV is received by the equipment EQ C AR of the vehicle CAR.
- the second phase of the method makes it possible to use a fleet of user equipment EQi Ui likely to be in the vicinity of the vehicle CAR to re-transmit an acknowledgment or message M 2 containing data enabling the user to clear the message. access to the CAR vehicle, noted as a free access indicator I DACCES-
- the EQCAR equipment issues a CAR vehicle lock command LCK_VEHI when the message Mi is issued.
- This solution makes it possible to secure the access to the vehicle CAR even in the case where the first user Ui does not activate the short-range link L C pi in order to receive the message Mi comprising the availability indicator I DDISPO-
- the vehicle CAR remains in unavailable status with an active locking of the doors while waiting for a return message M 2 from the server SERV, for example when a new vehicle reservation is activated.
- the method of the invention comprises a step of recording the message Mi in a memory of the equipment EQi (or EQi) when the short-range link LCPI is activated. by the EQ-i equipment and the EQ C AR equipment.
- the message data is stored on a device memory while waiting for the EQ-i equipment to transmit to an access point P Ai of the NET network. .
- the data included in the message Mi may comprise for example:
- IP address or a URL in particular the SERV server hosting the service of updating the database of available vehicles so that the message Mi is correctly relayed;
- a token with a time stamp that is to say a date, for example the date on which the message Mi was generated.
- An advantage of the transmission of the IdJSAR identifier is to limit the errors, in particular to qualify the association between a user Ui and an EQCAR vehicle equipment.
- the SERV server will then be able to verify that the CAR vehicle is well associated with the vehicle. Ui user. It will also be able to discriminate different messages coming from the same place in which different vehicles of the park are parked.
- An advantage of the transmission of the server identifier as its IP address or its URL in the message Mi is to provide the equipment EQi, which plays the role of a relay, an address of the SERV server to which to transmit the message Mid.
- This may be of interest in the case of a distributed architecture in which different services are supported by different SERV servers.
- the services associated with the users can be provided by a first SERVI server and the services associated with the vehicles are provided by a second server SERV2.
- SERVI and SERV2 servers are synchronized to update the vehicle availability information.
- An advantage of sharing a secret between the CAR vehicle and the remote server SERV is to secure the transmission of data between the two equipment EQ and EQCAR and also between EQ-i and the server SERV.
- the transmissions can then be encrypted.
- a system of symmetric keys can be set up to encrypt the transmissions between the different equipments.
- an asymmetric key system can be used between on the one hand the server and on the other hand each user equipment EQi.
- An advantage of transmitting a time stamp token is to process, on the server side SERV, a plurality of messages receiving Mi from different EQi equipment.
- the server SERV possibly receiving different messages Mi, is able to manage duplicates.
- the SERV server includes a function that approximates the geographical origin of the messages Mi in order to corroborate the information before processing it.
- the date of time stamp may be the date of generation of the messages Mi by the equipment EQCAR, the date of receipt or transmission of the message M1 by the equipment EQi.
- a server calculator SERV is able to group the various messages Mi from the CAR vehicle whose identifier is analyzed.
- the computer compares the dates of the messages Mi from the different equipment EQi relayed the message Mi.
- An embodiment includes the removal of duplicate messages from the CAR vehicle in a predefined time window.
- the method comprises a step denoted DETJBALI corresponding to the detection of a beacon or an access point PAi to a network. This step is performed by an EQi user equipment. It may be the EQi user equipment that has just used the CAR vehicle or another user Ui located near the CAR vehicle and having received a message Mi from the CAR vehicle.
- the recording of the message Mi in a memory of the equipment EQ or EQi is thus carried out at least until the detection of a PA-i access point to the NET network.
- a computer of the equipment can automatically activate a request for access to the network NET, for example by increasing the frequency of access requests vis-à-vis a preconfigured default value.
- the method then comprises a step TRANS 2 _MI data stored in memory of the equipment EQi to the server SERV via a long-range wireless link L Lpi , for example GSM, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA + , 4G, LTE, LTE-Advanced or 5G, IMT-2020, LTE-B or WIFI.
- L Lpi long-range wireless link
- the message Mi is then sent to the remote SERV server.
- a recording step ENRJ DDISPO of the indicator I DDISPO is engaged on receipt of the message by the server SERV.
- the equipment EQi is able to send to the server SERV in all cases, whether it has received the message Mi or not, a message indicating that the CAR vehicle is available again since the Ui user no longer uses it.
- the server SERV can update its database so that the vehicle can be reserved again.
- the method of the invention therefore comprises a second phase for releasing access to the vehicle for a future reservation.
- An advantage of using the Mi message via an EQi user equipment is not to change the existing processing at the SERV server. Processing consists of updating the database when the CAR vehicle issues an end-of-use message. This change could take place only on the basis of receiving a message generated by the EQ-i user equipment. There is therefore an advantage to implement this mode of relay when the vehicle is blind vis-à-vis the data network.
- the availability information of the vehicle CAR from the message Mi makes it possible to validate the availability of the vehicle CAR vis-à-vis the same information of availability that would have been generated solely from the equipment EQi to the SERV server.
- the method of the invention comprises a step of generating and transmitting an M 2 message aimed at making access to the vehicle CAR free, for example by unlocking its access for a next reservation.
- this step succeeds, for example, a request for reservation of the CAR vehicle by a user U 2 by means of the service.
- the reservation being validated by the server SERV, the latter then re-emits at least one message M 2 on the equipment EQ 2 of a user U 2 .
- This step is denoted TRANS3_ M 2 .
- the SERV server Since the CAR vehicle is not accessible directly via the NET network, the SERV server has the ability to engage different modes in order to release the CAR vehicle for future use.
- the server SERV systematically transmits to each user Ui near the known location of the vehicle CAR a message M 2 that can be retransmitted by the equipment EQi from a user Ui to the vehicle CAR.
- This possibility makes it possible to make the CAR vehicle accessible to any user of the service entering the area P1 not covered by the NET network and wishing to reserve it. It above all makes it possible to ensure that the CAR vehicle can unlock by increasing the chances of receiving an M 2 message with a plurality of users entering the parking P1.
- Another advantage is to make the CAR vehicle easily accessible even if the user would choose his vehicle to rent once in the area P1, that is to say when it is no longer in connection with the SERV server. Having received the message M 2 before entering the car park P1, the user Ui would be able to access the car CAR.
- the server SERV exploits a location data of users Ui subscribed to the service when the equipment EQ 2 authorizes the sharing of the location.
- the server SERV sends a message M 2 only on request from a user M 2 wishing to reserve the vehicle CAR.
- This implementation secures access to the CAR vehicle by limiting access authorizations only after the reservation request has been made.
- the server SERV sends an M 2 message to a plurality of users of the service only when at least one CAR car reservation request has been validated.
- the server SERV sends an M 2 message to a plurality of users of the service only when at least one CAR car reservation request has been validated.
- the method then comprises a step of recording ENR_M 2 of the message M 2 in a memory of an equipment EQ 2 or several equipments EQi.
- the recorded message M 2 is then re-transmitted via a short-range wireless link L C p2, to the car CAR when possible.
- the method therefore comprises a transmission step TRANS 4 _M 2 of the message M 2 when at least one equipment EQ 2 or EQ 1 having received the message M 2 will be in the vicinity of the vehicle CAR.
- the equipment EQ 2 or EQi will then activate, for example, its Bluetooth link in order to detect a vehicle listening.
- the equipment includes a calculator and an interface to attempt to establish a connection with a vehicle in the park.
- the EQi equipment verifies that the identifier of the vehicle corresponds to the identifier contained in the message M 2 .
- One advantage is to secure short-range transmission and access to data exchanged via this link.
- the equipment EQi transmits the message M 2 to any type of vehicle trying to establish a connection with the equipment EQi.
- An advantage of this embodiment is that it does not modify the processing performed on the EQi equipment. The modifications of treatments are only implemented at the level of the EQCAR-
- the method comprises a step of modifying the availability status of the vehicle CAR.
- the CAR vehicle unlocks its access and potentially activates the commands to be operational in order to roll when a user starts the engine of the CAR vehicle.
- the invention also relates to a computer program product comprising instructions for implementing the various phases of the method of the invention.
- steps can be performed by a computer program of one or more equipment EQi, EQ 2 , EQCAR-
- the computer program can be installed on a smartphone or a digital tablet having a wireless communication interface.
- the computer program comprises different executables recorded on different equipment, such as at least one piece of equipment of a vehicle and at least one user equipment, the different executables being able to implement the method of the invention.
- the invention also relates to a mobile terminal having an interface, for example tactile.
- the interface comprises a screen for displaying input fields for defining parameters relating to the description of the vehicle and for displaying for example an interactive digital map.
- the mobile equipment comprises a component for obtaining geolocation information that can be retrieved by the software.
- the requests issued by an EQi user equipment or a vehicle equipment EQ C AR may include data entered or defined by the user Ui and data from another component or another software such as a data location of the vehicle or the user.
- the users are pre-registered from the software and are known because an identifier is registered in a remote database.
- a database associates a CAR vehicle with a user Ui when the latter uses a CAR vehicle.
- the invention also relates to a non-transitory recording medium comprising the data, which, when installed in a computer or mobile terminal type equipment, make it possible to execute the method of the invention.
- the invention relates to a system for updating a CAR vehicle status, of the automotive type, in a database of a remote server SERV.
- the system comprises at least one EQi user equipment and EQCAR vehicle equipment and the data server described above through the process description.
- the vehicle is a vehicle comprising equipment having at least one computer and a memory for implementing the steps of the method.
- the user equipment may be for example a smart phone. It comprises at least one computer and a memory for implementing the steps of the method.
