Description

  The present invention relates to a business process related to a vehicle and a method for recording / acquiring vehicle information necessary for vehicle maintenance management.

Technical background

  Vehicle information such as specifications of the vehicle body is required for buying and selling and dismantling vehicles. As described above, the business information related to the vehicle always requires the vehicle information necessary for the business process, and accurate vehicle information is required. For this reason, in general, information on the target vehicle will be checked from the vehicle verification, specification table / catalog or the current vehicle, but if the paper materials related to the current vehicle are lost, check the current vehicle directly. However, since the information recording position is different for each vehicle, the vehicle information survey requires a skill level such as familiarity with vehicle technology and takes a lot of time.

  Therefore, vehicle information consisting of identification information for identifying the vehicle and specification information such as vehicle performance and equipment is built in a database, and the desired vehicle information is displayed easily and quickly from the identification information. Applicants have already proposed a vehicle distribution management device and an information management method that can be used (see JP-A-11-353388, JP-A-2000-132630, and JP-A-2000-132630). Therefore, when using such an information management method, a user purchases vehicle information to be downloaded through a communication medium such as a storage medium in which vehicle information is recorded or the Internet, and constructs the vehicle information in a database of a computer to build vehicle information. Can be used.

  By building the vehicle information in the database, the user can simply input the model designation number, category classification number or full model number described in the vehicle verification and other identification information from the vehicle information in the database. It is possible to check the specification information such as the performance and equipment of the vehicle to be displayed accurately and quickly without requiring skill.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  However, in such a conventional vehicle information management method, when the data built in the database is only the current vehicle, it is necessary to retrieve the vehicle number from the current vehicle and search from various databases.

  For this reason, it is necessary to acquire information from the current vehicle, and vehicle knowledge is necessary to acquire the information.However, it takes time because the rust and the stamped position of the chassis number differ depending on the vehicle when marking the existing chassis number. I have.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and basic information and additional information of a vehicle are incorporated into the vehicle according to a unified standard, whereby vehicle information can be easily obtained from the vehicle in the vehicle information, and the computer To provide a vehicle information providing method that assists input work such as input and simplifies work and increases the degree of freedom of selection of vehicle information by a user and improves its versatility. Objective.

Means for solving the problem

  In order to achieve such an object, the vehicle information providing method of the present invention creates vehicle information consisting of vehicle identification information and specification information such as vehicle performance / equipment as a series of basic data. The gist is to record this series of basic data on an integrated IC chip and to use the data for general purposes.

  The gist of the vehicle information providing method of the present invention is that the data recorded in claims 1 and 2 obtained by using an external reader is transmitted to a computer and used.

  Furthermore, the vehicle information of the present invention includes the model designation number described in the vehicle verification, the classification classification number, the model number, the chassis number, and the full model number described in the caution plate or catalog in the identification information in claim 1. , Manufacturer name, vehicle type, shape, shift, grade, year of manufacture, new car body color, equipment, and vehicle body, engine, fuel system, drive system, suspension system, steering system, braking system, chassis number stamped position It is impossible information.

  Further, the vehicle information according to the present invention can additionally record additional vehicle information in claim 2, and can record information such as maintenance information, accident information, and vehicle inspection information.

  Vehicle inspection information can only be read by entering a key.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of vehicle basic information of the present invention.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of vehicle addition information according to the present invention.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of vehicle basic information according to the present invention, and represents the basic information of a vehicle stored in an IC chip. In addition to the vehicle number, which is essential for identification with the vehicle, detailed information such as the manufacturer, model, grade, etc., described in the vehicle catalog is registered.

  The above information is read using an IC chip reader and transmitted to a personal computer, thereby eliminating the need for keyboard input.

  It is assumed that the basic information of the vehicle cannot be changed by changing load and the contents entered at the time of installation.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of additional vehicle information according to the present invention, and represents additional vehicle information stored in an IC chip. In addition to vehicle maintenance information and vehicle accident information, vehicle inspection certificate information can be additionally registered.

  Vehicle maintenance information and vehicle accident information can only be written additionally, and once written data cannot be altered.

  Vehicle maintenance information and vehicle accident information can only be written additionally, and once written data cannot be altered.

Vehicle maintenance information can be input by the maintenance shop that performed the vehicle maintenance.
3 and 4 are simplified diagrams of IC chip data input according to the present invention, where 1 is a vehicle equipped with an IC chip, 2 is an IC chip, and 3 is an IC chip management server. When maintenance is performed, the maintenance shop writes data in 1 and registers the written 1 data in 3.

  (2) In the event of damage, the IC chip will be replaced or mounted in the presence of the Land Transport Bureau.

  Data for performing exchange / addition of 2 is obtained from 3 to 1, and a new IC is reissued.

The invention's effect

  As described above, in the vehicle information management method according to the first aspect of the present invention, the vehicle specification information is stored in advance in the IC chip of the vehicle body. The information of the target vehicle can be easily displayed by extracting information from the vehicle. At this time, the manufacturer name, vehicle type, shape, model, shift, grade, full model number, chassis number, year of manufacture, which can be easily checked from the vehicle verification and current vehicle, as well as catalogs and commercial specifications, etc. In addition, since all or part of the vehicle color at the time of the new vehicle is used, it is possible to easily retrieve the vehicle specification information. Therefore, the troublesome work of searching from a vast amount of data each time and the trouble of inputting vehicle information can be eliminated, and vehicle distribution management and office processing can be performed quickly and accurately.

  Further, in the vehicle information management method according to claim 2 of the present invention, it is possible to more accurately manage vehicle price setting and the like by obtaining information such as vehicle maintenance information and accident information. Excellent effect.

  The existing data is acquired and the paperwork of the vehicle is performed, thus preventing erroneous input in the electronic manifest.
