Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile phone device, a vehicle control device using the same, and a vehicle operation management system, and in particular, detects that a driver of a vehicle has eaten or consumed a prohibited drug such as alcohol, and uses the driver of the vehicle with a drug concentration exceeding a specified value. The present invention relates to a mobile phone device with a drug detection function for preventing dangerous driving, a vehicle control device using the same, and a vehicle operation management system.

  If the mobile phone is within range (that is, within the service area of the wireless base station), the user can communicate with other communication devices (mobile phone or landline phone) wherever the user moves. It is rapidly becoming popular. In addition, with the increase in functionality of mobile phones, their uses or application ranges are not limited to simple communication means, but are rapidly expanding to various fields such as photographing means, personal authentication means, and electronic money. With such high functionality, it is no longer an exaggeration to say that mobile phones are now one of the indispensable electronic devices for modern people. It is common to wear or put on the side.

  On the other hand, vehicles (including those that freely travel on roads such as automobiles, buses, and trucks, and trains that travel on predetermined tracks) are also widely used as personal high-speed means of transportation to relatively long distances. ing. It is common to have at least one vehicle in a family and use it for business or leisure. In this way, since the vehicle can run at high speed, if the driver makes a mistake, the driver (driver) himself is killed and injured, as well as the driver and passenger of other vehicles, as well as the pedestrian walking on the road, Furthermore, it can be a weapon that destroys roadside structures. Although the driver's driving skills may be inexperienced or careless when driving a vehicle, in particular, the driver may drink alcohol and other prohibited drugs such as driving and driving with reduced ability to exercise and attention. Driving (dangerous driving) is a major social problem.

  Various efforts have been made to eliminate or reduce traffic accidents due to such drinking or dangerous driving. One of these is the strengthening of penalties under laws and regulations (Road Traffic Law and Criminal Law). However, no matter how strict the penal regulations are, it is difficult to eliminate drivers who ignore the law. Therefore, a measure is required to make it impossible for the unqualified driver who eats or drinks prohibited drugs such as alcohol to drive the vehicle, and the solution to this problem can only be expected if this measure is taken reliably.

As measures for preventing such drunk driving, a mobile phone to which an alcohol detection function capable of detecting alcohol is added has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). Also, a drunk driving check device that provides an alcohol concentration contained in the blood or sweat of the vehicle driver in the driving operation unit of the vehicle itself and warns when the predetermined alcohol concentration is exceeded, or performs subsequent processing to control the driving state. Is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 3).

  Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of a preferred embodiment of a cellular phone device and a vehicle control device using the same according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, FIG. 1 is a functional block configuration diagram showing a configuration of a mobile phone device with an alcohol detection function (hereinafter simply referred to as a mobile phone device) which is a first embodiment of a mobile phone device according to the present invention. The cellular phone device 10 includes a radio unit 11, an antenna 12, a display unit 13, an operation unit 14, a memory unit 15, a control unit 16, a speaker unit (or alarm unit) 17, an alcohol detection unit 21, a user identification unit (fingerprint authentication). Part) 22 and the vehicle communication part 23. The mobile phone device 10 has the same configuration as that of a general mobile phone device except for the alcohol detection unit 21, the fingerprint authentication unit 22, and the vehicle communication unit 23.

  In the mobile phone device 10 shown in FIG. 1, a wireless unit 11, a display unit 13, an operation unit 14, a memory unit 15, a speaker unit 17, an alcohol detection unit (drug detection unit) 21, a fingerprint authentication unit (user identification unit) 22, and The vehicle communication unit 23 is connected to a control unit (for example, CPU: central processing unit) 16. The antenna 12 is connected to the wireless unit 11.

  Next, components of the mobile phone device 10 shown in FIG. 1 and main functions of the elements 11 to 23 will be described. The wireless unit 11 wirelessly transmits and receives information to and from at least one mobile phone base station having a relatively narrow service area via the antenna 12. The display unit 13 is, for example, a liquid crystal display panel (LCD) that displays various information and alarms. The operation unit 14 performs key operations of various keys including a determination key as described later. The memory unit 15 stores various information, programs, data, and the like. The speaker unit 17 notifies a user of an alarm or the like by sounding.

  The alcohol detection unit 21 detects the alcohol concentration of the user and determines whether or not the detected alcohol concentration exceeds a preset reference value. The fingerprint authentication unit 22 performs fingerprint authentication to identify the user (or user) of the mobile phone device 10. The vehicle communication unit 23 performs wireless communication with the vehicle. The control unit 16 controls operations of the wireless unit 11, the display unit 13, the operation unit 14, the memory unit 15, the speaker unit 17, the alcohol detection unit 21, the fingerprint authentication unit 22, and the vehicle communication unit 23. The antenna 12 transmits a radio output signal from the radio unit 11 to the nearest base station, receives a radio signal from the radio base station, and inputs the radio signal to the radio unit 11.

  Next, the operation of the cellular phone device 10 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of fingerprint authentication (user identification) processing and alcohol (prohibited drug) concentration detection (or measurement) processing in the mobile phone device 10 shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the vehicle door lock / unlock process in the mobile phone device 10 shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a vehicle engine start process in the mobile phone device 10 shown in FIG.

  First, when any key of the operation unit 14 of the mobile phone device 10 is operated, it is determined whether or not the fingerprint of the user is authenticated by the fingerprint authentication unit 22 within a preset designated time (step S101). ). Here, when fingerprint authentication is not performed (step S101: NO), the fingerprint authentication unit 22 detects the fingerprint pattern of the user and performs fingerprint authentication processing for comparison with the fingerprint pattern registered in the memory unit 15 in advance. Perform (step S102). On the other hand, if fingerprint authentication has been completed (step S101: YES), the operation proceeds to the operation continuation step (step S110).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the authentication is matched in the fingerprint authentication process (step S103). If the authentication does not match (step S103: NO), the display unit 13 is displayed with an authentication mismatch (NG) and a warning is given by the sounding of the speaker unit 17 (step S111), and the mobile phone device 10 is returned to the standby state. On the other hand, if the authentications match (step S103: YES), the display unit 13 displays authentication OK and the speaker unit 17 makes a sound to that effect (step S104).

  Next, the alcohol detector 21 measures the alcohol concentration from the user's sweat (step S105). After the alcohol concentration is measured, it is determined whether or not the alcohol concentration is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (ie, exceeds the reference value) (step S106). If the reference value is not exceeded (step S106: NO), the process proceeds to step S112, and it is determined whether fingerprint authentication and alcohol concentration detection processing (processing (1)) are in progress. If this process is not in progress (step S112: NO), the process proceeds to step S110. If the process is in progress (step S112: YES), a door lock / unlock process (process (2)) described later or the engine is performed. The process proceeds to the start process (process (3)). On the other hand, when the alcohol concentration exceeds the reference value (step S106: YES), the operation prohibition time corresponding to the alcohol concentration in FIG. 5 is set in the timer (not shown) of the control unit 16 (step S107). Then, it is determined whether or not the processing of (1) is being performed (step S108). If the processing is not being performed (step S108: NO), the operation prohibition display is displayed on the display unit 13 and the speaker unit 17 is sounded to that effect. (Step S109). When the process (1) is being performed (step S108: YES), the process proceeds to the process (2) or the process (3).

  Here, a setting example of the operation prohibition period corresponding to the alcohol concentration shown in FIG. 5 will be described. In the specific example shown in FIG. 5, the alcohol concentration is divided into six categories, that is, “exhilaration period” of 0.02 to 0.04%, “early tipsy” of 0.05 to 0.1%, and 0.11 to 0.001. 15% tipsy season, 0.16-0.3% “drunk”, 0.31 to 0.40% “drunk” and 0.41 to 0.50% “coma” "." And the operation prohibition time corresponding to each division is set as 3 hours, 7 hours, 9 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours. In addition, in FIG. 5, the clinical symptom of each division | segmentation of alcohol concentration and the amount of alcohol corresponding to it are also illustrated.

  The process (1) described above includes determining by the timer of the control unit 16 whether or not the “operation prohibition time” set as illustrated in FIG. 5 has elapsed. As will be described later, once the alcohol concentration of each section described above is detected once by the alcohol detection unit 21, the vehicle communication unit 23 determines whether the vehicle is in communication with the vehicle until the “driving prohibition period” set according to the section elapses. By disabling communications such as door opening and closing and engine start, troubles with not only the user (driver) but also other vehicle drivers and pedestrians due to drunk driving are effectively avoided or prevented. .

  Next, vehicle control using the mobile phone device 10 of the present invention, that is, wireless remote operation of locking / unlocking the vehicle door will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a vehicle door lock / unlock operation by the mobile phone device 10.

  The vehicle communication unit 23 of the mobile phone device 10 performs wireless (wireless) communication with a remote control reception unit (not shown) mounted on the vehicle. That is, the user of the mobile phone device 10 transmits remote data from the vehicle communication unit 23 to lock / unlock the vehicle door. First, it is determined whether or not the user's fingerprint has been authenticated within a preset designated time (step S201).

  If fingerprint authentication is not performed (step S201: NO), fingerprint authentication processing and alcohol detection processing ((1) processing) similar to the key operation are performed. If the fingerprint has been authenticated (step S201: YES), it is determined whether the vehicle door is locked or unlocked (step S202). In the case of the lock operation, remote data transmission is performed as it is (step S206). On the other hand, in the case of the unlocking operation, it is determined whether or not the alcohol is detected (step S203).

  Here, for example, when the alcohol concentration corresponding to the category shown in FIG. 5 is not detected by the alcohol detection unit 21, that is, when the alcohol concentration is not detected (step S203: NO), remote data transmission is performed in the same manner as the lock operation (step S203: NO). Step S206). On the other hand, when the alcohol concentration exceeding the reference value is detected, that is, in the alcohol detection state (step S203: YES), an operation prohibition display is displayed on the display unit 13 and a sound to that effect is given to the speaker unit 17 (step S204). ), Warn the user of “prohibition of drunk driving”. Here, the vehicle is not driven while the user is drinking, but the door may be unlocked in order to take out luggage or the like on the vehicle. Therefore, the user confirms whether or not to perform an unlocking operation (step S205). When unlocking is performed for this purpose (step S205: YES), remote data transmission is performed (step S206). On the other hand, when not unlocking (step S205: NO), the operation ends (step S207), and the remote operation ends.

  Next, a vehicle engine starting operation using the cellular phone device 10 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the engine start operation of the vehicle by the mobile phone device 10.

  First, similarly to the vehicle door locking / unlocking operation described above with reference to FIG. 3, the vehicle communication unit 23 of the mobile phone device 10 performs wireless communication with the remote control receiving unit mounted on the vehicle to start the engine. The condition is determined based on whether or not alcohol is detected. That is, it is determined whether or not the fingerprint authentication unit 22 has authenticated the user's fingerprint within the preset designated time (step S301). If fingerprint authentication has not been performed (step S301: NO), fingerprint authentication processing and alcohol detection processing similar to the key operation are performed. On the other hand, when fingerprint authentication has been completed (step S301: YES), the alcohol detection state by the alcohol detection unit 21 is determined (step S302). If no alcohol is detected (step S302: NO), remote data for permitting engine start is transmitted (step S304), and engine start permission for the vehicle, that is, engine start is enabled (step S305). On the other hand, when an alcohol concentration exceeding the reference value is detected (step S302: YES), a warning is given to the display unit 13 by "running prohibition display" and the speaker unit 17 ringing (step S303). A warning of “prohibition of drunk driving” is issued, the engine start of the vehicle is stopped, and the process is terminated (step S306).

  Next, a second embodiment of the cellular phone device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration of a mobile phone device 20 having a drug detection function, which is a second embodiment of the mobile phone device according to the present invention.

The antenna 12 is connected to the wireless unit 11 for wireless communication with a wireless base station in the service area.

  Next, the fingerprint authentication processing and drug detection processing operation of the mobile phone device 20 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, when any one of the key operation of the operation unit 14 of the mobile phone device 20, the lock / unlock operation of the vehicle door, or the engine start operation of the vehicle is performed, the fingerprint authentication unit 22 within the preset designated time. It is determined whether or not the user's fingerprint has been authenticated (step S401). Here, when the fingerprint authentication is not performed (step S401: NO), the fingerprint authentication unit 22 detects the user's fingerprint pattern and performs a fingerprint authentication process for comparison with a fingerprint pattern registered in the memory unit 15 in advance. (Step S402).

  Next, a match of fingerprint authentication is determined (step S403). If the fingerprint authentications do not match (step S403: NO), the display unit 13 displays fingerprint authentication NG (non-match) and gives a warning to that effect by ringing on the speaker unit 17 (step S411). Return to the standby state. On the other hand, if the authentications match (step S403: YES), the display unit 13 displays an authentication OK (match) and notifies the speaker unit 17 by sounding (step S404).

  Following this step S404, a drug detection process is performed by the drug detection unit 21 to inspect whether the user's sweat contains a specific prohibited drug (step S405). After this drug detection process, it is determined whether or not a prohibited drug is included (step S406). If a prohibited drug exceeding the prescribed amount is detected (step S406: YES), the GPS unit 25 measures the current position and the camera unit 24 takes a picture of the user (step S407). Further, the information of the prohibited drugs detected, the measured current position information, and the photographed user's photographing data are collected and automatically transmitted by e-mail to a police station (or a driver management center in the case of a bus or taxi company) (step) S408).

  In addition, about the process of step S407 and step S408, it is preferable to perform a process in the background, without performing the display and operation | movement during a process in the display part 13 and the speaker part 17, so that a user may not interrupt a process on the way. Thereafter, a drug detection display, a driving prohibition display, and the speaker unit 17 are sounded on the display unit 13 (step S409). Finally, the operation of the cellular phone device 20 is locked, that is, the operation is disabled (step S416).

  On the other hand, when the prohibited drug exceeding the prescribed amount is not detected in the determination of the prohibited drug described above (step S406: NO) and when the fingerprint authentication is completed in the determination of fingerprint authentication (step S401: YES), the vehicle Door lock / unlock operation processing? Is determined (step S412). If the vehicle lock / unlock process is determined in this determination (step S412: YES), remote data is transmitted from the vehicle communication unit 23 to the vehicle to the remote control receiver (step S413), and the operation is terminated (step S417). . On the other hand, if the lock / unlock operation determination is not a lock / unlock operation (step S412: NO), an engine start process? Is determined (step S414). In the case of the engine start process (step S414: YES), the engine start is permitted, the remote data is transmitted from the vehicle communication unit 23 of the mobile phone device 20 to the remote control receiver of the vehicle (step S415), and the vehicle engine is started.
