Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a system for locking and unlocking a door of a vehicle by remote control, and more particularly to a system for unlocking the door by a person other than the owner of the vehicle such as a courier.
[0002]
[Prior art]
If the recipient is absent when delivering the package, the courier will have to redeliver the package at another date and time. For the courier service, re-delivery is not preferable because it lowers transportation efficiency and increases costs. Also, for the recipient, the delay in receiving the package may cause inconvenience.
[0003]
As a method of solving such a problem, for example, a method of confirming the receivable date and time in advance by performing a delivery notice by e-mail prior to delivery is known (see Patent Document 1). Also, in apartment buildings such as condominiums, a parcel delivery box may be installed so that luggage can be received without anybody.
[0004]
However, even in the former method, since the recipient needs to be at home within the service time of the courier service, if it is not convenient, the receipt of the package will be delayed. In the latter method, it is difficult to install the home delivery box because it costs a lot to install the delivery box.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-8-287158
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The above problem is considered to occur because it is assumed that the home delivery service is received at home. Therefore, the inventor has obtained an idea that the home delivery service can be received at a place other than the home. However, even if you receive your luggage outside of your home, there is no place to store your luggage. Therefore, the inventor has obtained a further idea that a vehicle (automobile) cannot be used as a delivery box.
[0007]
But here too, new problems arise. That is, in order to use the vehicle as a delivery box, it is necessary for a delivery company to unlock the door of the vehicle. However, it is not practical to exchange keys with a courier, and it is clear that a mechanism that allows anyone to easily unlock the door cannot be adopted for security purposes.
[0008]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a system in which a vehicle owner can permit another person to unlock a vehicle door in a safe and simple manner. Is to provide.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a vehicle lock is operated by the following means and processing. The means and processes described below are realized by a computer reading and executing a program.
[0010]
The present invention is directed to a vehicle including an electric lock device capable of locking and unlocking a door by remote control. The electric lock device has a mobile phone, a PHS, a wireless LAN, and other wireless communication means, and unlocks the door when an unlock signal is received, and locks the door when a lock signal is received.
[0011]
In the present invention, for such a vehicle, registration information including vehicle information for specifying the vehicle and owner information for identifying the owner is stored. That is, information about the vehicle to be operated is stored in the storage unit in advance.
[0012]
As the vehicle information, at least a vehicle type and a vehicle registration number (number) may be registered. This is because the vehicle type and the vehicle registration number can be easily determined from the appearance of the vehicle, and the vehicle registration number can uniquely identify the vehicle.
[0013]
When the password issuing unit receives the password issuing request from the vehicle owner, the password issuing unit generates a password, notifies the owner of the password, and stores the password in the storage unit in association with the registration information.
[0014]
With this configuration, only the owner of the vehicle can make a password issuance request. In addition, since the generated password is notified only to the vehicle owner, at this point, the password is information that can be known only by the vehicle owner and the system.
[0015]
Here, it is also preferable that the password issuing unit authenticates the person who has issued the password issuing request based on the owner information registered in the storage unit. For example, when the user ID and the user password are registered as the owner information, a method of requesting the input of the user ID and the user password when requesting the password is considered. This can prevent an unauthorized password from being acquired by a person other than the owner.
[0016]
Thereafter, when the unlocking means receives an unlocking request including the password, the unlocking means sends an unlocking signal to the vehicle specified based on the password. Thereby, the door of the vehicle is unlocked.
[0017]
As mentioned above, the password is only communicated to the vehicle owner. Then, only the owner of the vehicle or a person who has obtained the password from the vehicle owner (ie, a person who has obtained trust from the vehicle owner) can make an unlock request. It becomes.
[0018]
Therefore, according to the present invention, the owner unlocks the vehicle door only to the specific person by a simple method in which the vehicle owner acquires the password in advance and notifies the password to the specific person. Can be allowed. Since a third party other than the owner and the specific person cannot unlock the vehicle door, the safety of the vehicle is also ensured.
[0019]
By using the present invention, for example, a vehicle can be used as a delivery box. That is, if the owner of the vehicle notifies the home delivery company of the password, vehicle information, parking location of the vehicle, and the like, the home delivery company can request an unlocking at the time of delivery and load the package in the vehicle.
[0020]
In the above configuration, the unlocking request includes the vehicle information, and the unlocking unit outputs the unlocking signal only when the vehicle information included in the unlocking request matches the vehicle information obtained from the storage unit based on the password. Delivery is also preferred. According to this configuration, the validity of the unlocking request is determined based on the two information, the password and the vehicle information, so that unauthorized unlocking can be prevented beforehand and the safety of the vehicle can be improved.
[0021]
It is also preferable that the password issuance request includes the time designation information, and the unlocking means sends the unlock signal only when the unlock request is received within the time designated by the time designation information. According to this configuration, since the unlocking operation can be performed only within the time designated in advance by the vehicle owner, unauthorized unlocking can be prevented beforehand and the safety of the vehicle can be improved.
[0022]
It is also preferable that the monitoring means monitors the current position of the vehicle and whether the vehicle is traveling or parked. For example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) terminal having wireless communication means is mounted on a vehicle, and position information (latitude, longitude, altitude, etc.) of the vehicle is received from the GPS device at regular time intervals, so that the current position of the vehicle is obtained. And state can be obtained.
[0023]
At this time, the unlocking means may transmit the unlocking signal only when the vehicle is parked. This is because unlocking the door while traveling may be dangerous.
[0024]
It is also preferable that the password issuance request includes the location designation information, and the unlocking means sends the unlock signal only when the vehicle is located at the location designated by the location designation information. According to this configuration, the unlocking operation can be performed only when the vehicle is present at a place designated by the owner of the vehicle in advance, so that unauthorized unlocking can be prevented beforehand and the safety of the vehicle can be improved. .
[0025]
It is also preferable that the password is a one-time password. Thereby, the safety of the vehicle can be further enhanced.
[0026]
Further, when the locking means receives a locking request including the password, it is preferable that the locking means transmits a locking signal to the vehicle specified based on the password. Further, it is also preferable that the locking means automatically sends the locking signal after a lapse of a predetermined time from the sending of the unlocking signal.
[0027]
The present invention can be considered as a vehicle lock operation system having at least a part of the above means. Further, the present invention can be regarded as a vehicle lock operation method including at least a part of the above-described processing, or a program for realizing such a method. In addition, each of the above-mentioned means and processing can be combined with each other as much as possible to constitute the present invention.
[0028]
For example, a vehicle lock operation system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes, for a vehicle capable of locking and unlocking a door by remote control, vehicle information for identifying the vehicle and owner information for identifying the owner. Storage means for storing registration information including: a password is generated when a password issuance request is received from the owner of the vehicle, and the password is notified to the owner and stored in the storage means in association with the registration information It is preferable to have a password issuing means and an unlocking means for transmitting an unlocking signal to a vehicle specified based on the password when an unlocking request including the password is received.
[0029]
Further, in the vehicle lock operation method according to one aspect of the present invention, the computer is configured to identify vehicle information and an owner for a vehicle capable of locking and unlocking a door by remote control. When the registration information including the owner information is stored, and a password issuance request is received from the vehicle owner, a password is generated, and the password is notified to the owner and stored in the storage unit in association with the registration information.

[0031]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be illustratively described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0032]
(System configuration)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a vehicle lock operation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0033]
The lock operation system 1 includes a general-purpose computer including a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, a hard disk, and a communication IF (interface) as basic hardware. The lock operation system 1 can transmit / receive data to / from the terminal 3 such as the owner terminal 2 or a mobile phone via the Internet W.
[0034]
The lock operation system 1 has a password issuing unit 10, a vehicle monitoring unit 11, a lock operation unit 12, and a database 13 as functions. The lock operation system 1 has a Web server function, and the owner terminal 2 and the terminal 3 can access the lock operation system 1 by using Web client software. Note that these functions are realized when a program stored in the hard disk is read and executed by the CPU.
[0035]
The database 13 is a storage unit that stores registration information regarding a vehicle to be locked. FIG. 2A shows an example of registration information stored in the database 13. The registration information mainly stores vehicle information such as an automobile registration number (number) and a vehicle type of the vehicle 4 and owner information such as a user ID and a user password.
[0036]
The vehicle 4 targeted by the lock operation system 1 includes an electric lock device 40, a GPS terminal 41, and an antenna 42 as shown in FIG. The electric lock device 40 and the GPS terminal 41 perform wireless communication via a wireless base station 5 such as a mobile phone and a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), and can transmit and receive data to and from the lock operation system 1. is there.
[0037]
The electric lock device 40 is a device that automatically unlocks a door of a vehicle when an unlock signal is received via an antenna 42 and locks the door automatically when a lock signal is received. The lock operation system 1 can remotely control unlocking / locking of the door of the vehicle 4 by transmitting an unlocking signal / locking signal to the vehicle 4.
[0038]
The GPS terminal 41 is a device that measures the position (latitude, longitude, altitude) of the vehicle 4 using radio waves transmitted from the artificial satellite 6. The GPS terminal 41 performs positioning at a certain fixed time interval of several seconds to several tens of minutes, and periodically transmits the position information of the vehicle 4 to the lock operation system 1.
[0039]
The position information transmitted from the GPS terminal 41 is received by the vehicle monitoring unit 11. The vehicle monitoring unit 11 obtains the current position of the vehicle 4 based on the position information, and determines whether the vehicle 4 is traveling or parked based on a chronological change in the current position. Then, the current position and the state are stored in the database 13 (see FIG. 2A). Thus, the lock operation system 1 monitors the current position and the state of the vehicle 4.
[0040]
Next, the operation of the lock operation system 1 having the above configuration will be described.
[0041]
(Password issuing process)
The password issuing process will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of a password issuing process in the lock operation system 1, and FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the owner terminal 2.
[0042]
When the owner of the vehicle 4 starts the Web client software on the owner terminal 2 and inputs the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the password issuing service provided by the lock operation system 1, FIG. Is displayed.
[0043]
When a user ID and a user password are input on the password issue screen and an issue button is pressed, a password issue request is transmitted to the lock operation system 1. At this time, time designation and place designation can be arbitrarily performed. In the time designation, a day and a time when the door is allowed to be unlocked can be designated. In the place designation, a place where the door can be unlocked can be designated.
[0044]
When receiving the password issuance request from the owner terminal 2 (step S100), the password issuing unit 10 of the lock operation system 1 performs user authentication (step S101). In the present embodiment, authentication is performed by extracting the user ID and the user password from the password issuance request and confirming whether or not they match the owner information registered in the database 13.
[0045]
If the user authentication is successful, the password issuing unit 10 generates a password (Step S102). The format of the password generated here may be any format, but in view of the convenience of the notification to the owner and the notification from the owner to another person, a password in a visible format is preferable. In the present embodiment, a character string composed of a combination of alphanumeric symbols is used as the password.
[0046]
Subsequently, the password issuing unit 10 stores the generated password in the database 13 (Step S103). When the password issuance request includes a time designation or a location designation, the information is also stored in the database 13 together with the password.
[0047]
In the example of FIG. 2B, “ABCDE001” is registered as the password, “13:00 to 15:00 on April 7” as the designated time, and “Aichi Prefecture XX City XX Town” is registered as the designated location. These pieces of password information are associated with the registration information of the vehicle 4, and it is possible to obtain the registration information based on the password, and conversely, to obtain the password information based on the vehicle registration number or the user ID. is there.
[0048]
The password information also includes the status and the update time. The status is information indicating whether the password has been used. The initial value of the status is “0”, and is set to “1” when an unlock request is made. When the password information is updated, such as when a password is generated or the status is changed, the time is recorded as the update time.
[0049]
Finally, the password issuing unit 10 notifies the owner of the generated password (Step S104). In the present embodiment, the password is notified by transmitting the password notification screen of FIG. 4B to the owner terminal 2 and displaying the same. Note that the method of notification is not limited to this, and other methods such as e-mail may be used as long as only the owner himself can be notified.
[0050]
The password notified here is used when making a lock request or a lock request to the lock operation system 1. Unlocking and locking requests can be made by anyone who knows the password (hereinafter referred to as "password learner"), so the owner as well as the owner gave me the password. Can also be.
[0051]
(Unlocking process)
Next, the unlocking process will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the unlocking process in the lock operation system 1, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on a terminal that issues an unlock request.
[0052]
The password learner can request the lock operation system 1 to unlock the door of the vehicle 4 from his / her terminal 3. As the terminal 3, it is preferable to use a wireless terminal such as a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant (PDA) having an Internet connection function. Usually, this is because there are many cases where an unlocking request is issued near the vehicle 4, that is, outdoors.
[0053]
When the password learner activates the Web client software on the terminal 3 and inputs the URL of the unlocking service provided by the lock operation system 1, the unlock request screen of FIG.
[0054]
On the unlock request screen, the password issued by the lock operation system 1 and the vehicle information (vehicle registration number and vehicle type) of the vehicle 4 are input, and when the OK button is pressed, an unlock request is transmitted to the lock operation system 1. Is done.
[0055]
When receiving the unlock request from the terminal 3 (step S200), the lock operation unit 12 of the lock operation system 1 extracts a password from the unlock request, and uses the password as a search key to retrieve password information including the same password from the database 13. To find out. If the password information has not been found, it is regarded as an invalid password, and the process ends (step S201).
[0056]
If the password information is found, it is checked whether the status is "0" (step S202). This process corresponds to a process of checking whether the unlock request is the first request or the second or subsequent request. In other words, since the initial value of the status is “0”, the process proceeds to step S203 for the first time, but after the unlock request is made once, the status is set to a value other than “0” and the second and subsequent unlock requests are made. Is invalid. As described above, the present embodiment employs a one-time password mechanism.
[0057]
In step S203, it is checked whether or not a time is specified in the password. If there is no time designation, it is regarded as a valid unlocking request. If there is time designation, it is regarded as a valid unlocking request only when the unlocking request has been received within the designated time (step S204). The process proceeds to S205. By this processing, the unlocking operation can be performed only within the time specified by the owner of the vehicle 4 in advance.
[0058]
In step S205, the lock operation unit 12 acquires the registration information of the vehicle 4 from the database 13 based on the password. Then, the lock operation unit 12 compares the vehicle information included in the unlock request with the vehicle information acquired from the database 13 and confirms whether the two match (step S206). With this processing, it is possible to prevent only those who actually know the vehicle registration number and the vehicle type of the vehicle 4 from making an unlock request.
[0059]
If the vehicle information matches, the lock operation unit 12 checks whether or not the vehicle 4 is parked based on the registration information (Step S206). This is because unlocking the door while the vehicle 4 is running may be dangerous.
[0060]
Subsequently, the lock operation unit 12 checks whether or not the location is specified in the password (step S208). If the location is not specified, it is regarded as a valid unlocking request. If the location is specified, it is regarded as a valid unlocking request only when the vehicle 4 is located within the specified location (step S209), and step S210 is performed. Processing proceeds. By this processing, the unlocking operation can be performed only when the vehicle 4 is parked in a place designated by the owner of the vehicle 4 in advance.
[0061]
In step S210, the lock operation unit 12 sends an unlock signal to the vehicle 4. Thereby, the door of the vehicle 4 is unlocked.
[0062]
After the unlocking operation is performed normally, the lock operation unit 12 sets the status of the password information in the database 13 to “1” and records the update time (Step S211). Therefore, after this, the unlock request using the same password will be treated as invalid.
[0063]
(Locking process)
When the unlocking operation is performed normally, a lock request screen is displayed on the terminal 3. The password learner can request the lock operation system 1 to lock the door by pressing the lock button on the lock request screen.
[0064]
Upon receiving the lock request from the terminal 3, the lock operation unit 12 of the lock operation system 1 confirms the password included in the lock request and sends a lock signal to the vehicle 4. Thereby, the door of the vehicle 4 is locked. After the door locking operation is performed normally, the lock operation unit 12 deletes the password information in the database 13.
[0065]
The lock operation unit 12 periodically monitors the status and update time of the password information in the database 13, and keeps the status constant when the status is “1” (that is, when the door of the vehicle 4 remains unlocked). When a password whose time has elapsed is found, a locking signal is sent to the vehicle to automatically lock the vehicle. Thus, even if the locking request is forgotten, the door is locked, and the safety of the vehicle can be ensured.
[0066]
The lock operation system 1 of the present embodiment described above has the following advantages.
[0067]
Only the owner of the vehicle 4 can issue a password issuance request, and since the generated password is notified only to the owner of the vehicle 4, it is possible to prevent unauthorized unlocking by anyone other than the owner. Can be.
[0068]
In particular, since user authentication is performed when issuing a password, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized person from acquiring an unauthorized password.
[0069]
On the other hand, the request to unlock the door is not limited to the owner of the vehicle 4 but can be made by anyone who knows the password.
[0070]
Therefore, in a simple method, the owner of the vehicle 4 obtains a password in advance and notifies the password to a specific person, and the owner should only permit the specific person to unlock the door of the vehicle 4. Can be. Since a third person other than the person who has obtained the password cannot unlock the door of the vehicle 4, the safety of the vehicle 4 is also ensured.
[0071]
Further, in the present embodiment, the validity of the unlock request is determined based on the password and the vehicle information, so that unauthorized unlocking can be prevented beforehand and the safety of the vehicle 4 can be improved. .
[0072]
Furthermore, the time and place where the unlocking operation can be performed can be limited by specifying the time and place by the owner of the vehicle 4, and the one-time password can be used to prevent the unauthorized unlocking and the vehicle. Safety can be further enhanced.
[0073]
In addition, the said structure is only what illustrated one Embodiment of this invention. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea.
[0074]
For example, the data structure in the database 13, the screen configuration displayed on the owner terminal 2 or the terminal 3, the processing flow, and the like can be appropriately changed according to the system configuration and the embodiment.
[0075]
In the above-described embodiment, the lock operation system 1 and the terminals 2 and 3 perform data communication using the Web. However, an electronic mail or the like can be used instead of the Web. When the lock operation system 1 has a voice recognition function and a voice synthesis function, it is also possible to make a password issue request or unlock request by voice communication.
