It is assumed that use registration is performed through the mobile communication network 210 using the H.12. At the time of this use registration, information such as identification information (telephone number assigned to the mobile communication terminal), the user's name, date of birth, type of car, latest car inspection date of the car, etc. It is sent to the car information management server 11 and stored as the member data 121 of the storage unit 120. In the following, a registered user is referred to as a “member”.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an initial menu displayed when a registered member accesses the vehicle information management server 11 from the mobile communication terminal 212. As shown in this figure, the items of “1. Refueling record input”, “2. Fuel consumption graph display”, “3. Refueling log display”, and “4. Other” are displayed on the screen of the mobile communication terminal 212. And it is in a selectable state. By the time the initial menu is displayed, the vehicle information management server 11 has already obtained the member identification information, that is, the telephone number of the mobile communication terminal, by the above-described method.

FIG. 3 shows the contents displayed on the screen when "1. Refueling record input" is selected in the menu shown in FIG. 2 and the screen state when the user inputs data correspondingly. FIG. The user can input data in accordance with the screen of FIG. 3 when refueling a car at a gas station or the like. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, a message prompting the user to input an odometer value (cumulative mileage information) is displayed. In response, the user reads the odometer of the car and
The value is input in kilometers as shown in FIG. When this is completed, a message prompting input of the refueling amount (energy supply amount information) is displayed next, as shown in FIG. In response, the user reads the value displayed on the display or the receipt of the refueling post installed at the gas station, and inputs the value in tenths of a liter as shown in FIG. 3 (d). . Once this is complete,
As shown in FIG. 3E, a message prompting the user to enter the amount is displayed. In response, the user inputs the amount of money in yen as shown in FIG. Further, the position information of the mobile communication terminal at the time of this input is sent to the vehicle information management server 11 by the above-described method.

The data thus input is stored in the storage unit 120 shown in FIG. FIG.
Data 121 and vehicle type data 122 stored in
FIG. 3 is a table showing a data structure and an example of data. FIG.
Is the price data 123 also stored in the storage unit 120
FIG. 3 is a table showing a data structure and an example of data.

The data shown in FIG. 4A is the member data 1
21 and a member attribute. As a member attribute,
There are data items such as a member ID (identification information), a name, a vehicle type code, a previous vehicle inspection time, and a previous oil change odometer value. For the member ID, the telephone number of the mobile communication terminal is used as it is. The data shown in FIG. 4B is a part of the member data 121, and a time-series refueling record for each member is held. The refueling record includes data items such as a member ID, a refueling date and time, an odometer value, a refueling amount, and a refueling location. The data shown in FIG. 4C is vehicle type data 122, which holds data such as a manufacturer name, a model name, and an engine displacement for each vehicle type code. Note that, here, the vehicle type code is not allocated at a coarse level such as a vehicle type series, but at least the main factors that influence fuel efficiency, for example, vehicle size, vehicle weight, aerodynamic characteristics, engine displacement, transmission type ( (Manual or automatic) and so on.

The price data shown in FIG. 5 holds the fuel price (unit price) calculated from the refueling amount and amount input by the member, together with its location information and date and time information. If you want to maintain prices for multiple types of fuels (eg, gas oil, unleaded gasoline, unleaded gasoline)
As in the example shown in FIG. 5, a data item called product type is provided so that it can be distinguished. When dealing only with the price of a single type of fuel (for example, unleaded gasoline), there is no need to distinguish such product types. This product type is
When the member inputs the refueling data, the input may be made from a screen (not shown), or the product type may be set in advance as a member attribute. By holding the price data on the server in this way, information can be shared between members, and it is possible to refer to the mobile communication terminal or the computer terminal by region or in time series.

Next, an example in which data is referred from a mobile communication terminal will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which a fuel consumption graph (a) and a refueling log (b) that can be referred to by the member are displayed on the screen of the mobile communication terminal.

When the fuel efficiency graph shown in FIG. 6A is displayed, the service control unit calculates the fuel efficiency based on the data shown in FIG. Assuming that the fuel is supplied to the same level (for example, “full tank”) every time, the refueling amount at the i-th refueling is F (i),
Assuming that the odometer value is M (i), the previous time (n-1 time)
The fuel efficiency from the time of refueling to the time of this (n-th) refueling is calculated by (M (n) -M (n-1)) / F (n). The average fuel efficiency from the time of refueling at any time (the m-th time) to the time of refueling this time is (M (n) -M (m)) / (F (n) + F (n-1) + ... + F (M + 1)). Even when refueling is not performed to the same level every time, it is possible to calculate an approximate value of the average fuel efficiency by the above equation. The information of the refueling log shown in FIG. 6B is also sent from the service control unit on the vehicle information management server to the mobile communication terminal based on the data shown in FIG. 4B and displayed.

In addition to the information shown in the figure, it is possible to display on the mobile communication terminal information such as the fuel price data described above, guidance for vehicle inspection time, guidance for periodic inspection time, and information for oil change time. . Guidance on the timing of these inspections and replacements is made based on the number of days and mileage since the last inspection or the last replacement.

Next, the use of the vehicle information management system from the computer terminal 201 will be described. In the case of access from a computer terminal, as described above, member authentication is performed using a previously registered member ID and password (password information). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of such a member authentication screen. The authentication screen as shown in this figure is displayed on a Web browser running on the computer terminal 201, for example. Then, the member enters the member ID and password and “login”
By pressing the button, the member ID and password are sent to the computer interface unit 132 on the vehicle information management server via the Internet, and the authentication process is performed.

Once the authentication is performed, the member inputs refueling information, refers to a fuel efficiency graph of his / her vehicle, refers to a refueling log, refers to fuel price data on the computer terminal. For example, the same service as the mobile communication terminal can be used, such as receiving guidance for inspection and replacement. Furthermore, in the case of a computer terminal,
The user can refer to a fine graph or the like corresponding to the size of the screen and the height of the resolution. In addition, the refueling log and the data on fuel efficiency can be downloaded from the vehicle information management server in a format that can be read by spreadsheet software.

Further, based on pre-registered vehicle type information, the number of years elapsed since the vehicle was registered, and the total mileage information, an estimate of a used vehicle purchase reference price (present value of the registered vehicle), Information on insurance expiration and renewal of insurance, estimate of replacement of new car, news on registered car models, and information on CUG (Closed User Group) bulletin board system written by members using the same car model It is possible to use various services specific to the computer terminal, such as usage, fuel efficiency ranking information within the same vehicle type, and average fuel efficiency ranking information between vehicle types.

The data for each individual stored for the above services is utilized as marketing data for car dealers, auto parts dealers, used car buyers, car mechanics, and the like. It is also possible to do. As an example of data use, it is possible to extract members whose vehicle inspection time is approaching and link it to sales activities to find out potential new car replacement customers.

Next, the use of the vehicle information management system from the telephone terminal 221 will be described. FIG. 8 shows the telephone network 2
6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for providing a service by voice via a communication device 20; First, a voice message prompting the input of a member ID is transmitted from the voice service processing device 15 to the telephone terminal 221 in accordance with an instruction from the voice interface unit 133 (step 501). When the signal sound transmitted by the member operating the push button is recognized as the member ID (step 502), a message for prompting the input of the password is transmitted (step 503). Then, the member is authenticated by recognizing the password entered by the member and comparing it with the member data (step 504). Here, it is determined whether or not the authentication is OK (step 505). If the authentication is an error, an error message is sent (step 505), and the process returns to the member ID input process.

If authentication is OK in step 505, a message prompting entry of a number corresponding to each service content is transmitted (step 507), and the number entered by the member is recognized accordingly (step 508). (Steps 509 and 5).
10, 511, and 512). Thereafter, it is determined whether the member has finished using the service (step 51).
3) If completed, terminate the processing for this user and release communication resources. If not, the process returns to step 507, and causes the member to select the next service.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the refueling record input process in step 509 in FIG. In the refueling record input process, first, the voice service processing device 15 according to the instruction from the voice interface unit 133.
A voice message urging the user to input the value of the odometer is transmitted to the telephone terminal 221 (step 551). In response, the numerical value input by the member is recognized and recorded in the member data of the storage unit (step 552). Next, a message prompting input of the refueling amount is transmitted (step 553), and the numerical value input by the member is recognized and recorded in the member data of the storage unit (step 554).

When the refueling record is input by voice via the telephone network 220 and the telephone network 220 does not provide detailed location information of the telephone terminal 221, the telephone number of the telephone terminal 221 is notified. Identify the approximate location at the city level from the area code, or allow members to enter code information about the location, such as a zip code, to get information about where the refueling was done,
Record in price data.
