  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

(First embodiment)
The charge reservation system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the charging reservation system according to the present embodiment includes a management server 10, a communication network 1, a plurality of antenna units 20, and an automobile 30. In addition, the management server 10 and the antenna unit 20 are connected via the communication network 1 so that the antenna unit 20 and the automobile 30 can perform wireless communication.

  The communication network 1 is a network network capable of mutual communication. In this embodiment, the network 1 is a wired communication network such as a network such as a LAN or an intranet, but can be replaced with a wireless communication network.

  The management server 10 includes an arithmetic processing unit 100, a storage unit 110, a communication unit 120, a display unit 130, and an input unit 140. The management server 10 in the present embodiment includes a display unit 130 and an input unit 140, but input / output to the server is installed outside via a serial line (not shown) or the communication network 1. Also good.

  The arithmetic processing unit 100 includes an information registration unit 101, a travel distance calculation unit 102, a charging station search unit 103, and a schedule acquisition / providing unit 104.

  The information registration unit 101 registers information necessary for various calculations in various databases (DB) 111 to 115. In the present embodiment, the vehicle information received via the communication unit 120 is stored in the vehicle information DB 111, the remaining capacity of the storage amount is stored in the storage amount information DB 112, the antenna position is stored in the antenna position information DB 113, and the charging station information is stored in the charging station information DB 114. Information such as a driver's schedule is registered and stored in the schedule information DB 115.

  The schedule acquisition / providing unit 104 acquires the driver's schedule including the travel route and the final destination stored in the schedule information DB 115. The schedule refers to schedule information registered in advance by the driver in association with his / her car information, and is information such as “arrival at CC point in AA at BB”. The driver's schedule may include a planned charging time for charging the storage battery in advance, a planned charge amount, and a travel route to the final destination. For example, if it is planned to stay at a facility with a charging station for one hour, the storage battery is charged at this time. The schedule may be a schedule that takes into account a schedule for two or more days instead of a so-called one-day schedule. The final destination is, for example, the last destination registered in the schedule or the last destination of the day.

  The travel distance calculation unit 102 calculates a travelable distance of the automobile incorporating the scheduled charging time. In the present embodiment, from the vehicle information of the vehicle 30 sent via the antenna unit 20 and the stored amount information that is the remaining capacity of the battery, the point where the information is received (the region where each antenna unit 20 can wirelessly communicate with the vehicle 30 The travelable distance from the predetermined point) is calculated. When there is scheduled charge amount information, the travelable distance may be calculated from the vehicle information and the storage amount information that is the remaining capacity of the battery from the location where the information is received and the scheduled charge amount that is the planned charge amount. In this embodiment, since the position information of each antenna unit 20 is used as the position of the automobile 30, the position detection accuracy can be increased as compared with the case of using GPS (Global Positioning System). Furthermore, unlike GPS position measurement when a car is traveling on a highway, there is an advantage that confusion is unlikely to occur when there is a side road on the highway.

  The charging station search unit 103 receives the information related to the travelable distance sent from the travel distance calculation unit 102 and determines whether the travelable distance is reachable to the final destination of the schedule. When it is possible to reach the final destination, that is, when it is determined that there is no need for a detour for charging on the planned travel route, the processing is terminated. When the final destination cannot be reached, the reachable charging station is extracted from the schedule empty time, the moving route, and the amount of stored electricity (or the travelable distance), and the charging time is calculated. Information about the charging station and the charging time is provided to the automobile 30. When the charging station is extracted, if there is a charging station at the staying place, the staying time is regarded as an empty time and the charging station at the staying place is preferentially guided.

  These extracted charging stations may be reserved automatically. A reservation confirmation as to whether or not to make a reservation with the driver of the car 30 may be made instead of the automatic reservation. For example, the reservation confirmation may be performed by a voice recognition function that performs input by human voice such as a driver, or the reservation may be actually determined by operating the touch panel of the input unit 340 or the like. The information regarding the charging station and the charging time may be information such as charging in advance at the charging station near the middle of the schedule longer than planned.

  In addition, you may arrange | position the information regarding this extracted charging stand and charging time in order of priority according to a predetermined pattern. “According to a predetermined pattern” means, for example, a detour time from a moving route, or acquiring data from the charging station DB 114 and arranging the charging station with a small reservation status and charging time in order.

  Further, as to whether or not the final destination can be reached, the value of the charged amount can be used. For example, when the power storage amount of the automobile 30 is 50% or less on the moving route, the processing when the final destination cannot be reached is performed.

  The storage unit 110 is a database (DB) having a configuration including an automobile information DB 111, a storage amount information DB 112, an antenna position information DB 113, a charging station information DB 114, and a reservation information DB 115. Each DB is a medium for storing data, and various storage media such as generally used disk devices, optical disk devices, and semiconductor memories can be used. These storage media may be used for temporary storage.

  The automobile DB 111 stores the vehicle type of the automobile 30, the average running distance corresponding to the remaining capacity and speed of the storage amount for each vehicle type, and other necessary information necessary for calculating the travelable distance. For example, the average travel distance is a distance corresponding to the remaining amount of each storage amount, assuming that the vehicle travels at a speed limit such as an expressway or a vehicle-only road. Moreover, when traffic congestion has occurred in the vicinity of the position of the received antenna unit 20, the average travel distance corresponding to each power storage amount during low-speed travel may be used. In addition, when using the owner of an automobile or an ETC card, the user information of the card may be stored.

  The storage amount information DB 112 stores the storage amount sent from the automobile 30. The charged amount may be a charge amount, or the battery capacity may be stored as a percentage.

  The antenna position information DB 113 stores position information of each antenna unit 20. For example, it may be latitude / longitude information of each antenna unit 20, or may be a number corresponding to a position given in advance.

  The charging station information DB 114 stores position information of the charging station. For example, information on the number of charging stations in the service area of an expressway and information on charging performance of the charging station (such as the amount of electric power that can be provided to an automobile every hour). The reservation status of the charging station is also stored.

  The schedule information DB 115 stores reservation information for the driver of the automobile 30. For example, schedule information such as which vehicle or user will act according to what schedule in the future. The schedule information may include a time for charging in advance. The schedule information is registered from an external input interface such as a personal computer (not shown).

  The communication unit 120 is connected to the communication unit 320 of the automobile 30 via the communication network 1 and the antenna unit 20, and transmits and receives various information.

  The display unit 130 is a display screen that displays information stored in various DBs.

  The input unit 140 is used to input various information. For example, a keyboard.

  The antenna unit 20 is an antenna that performs various road-vehicle communications. It is arranged on the road at regular intervals. In addition, position information is set for each antenna. In this embodiment, the vehicle 30 is connected by wireless communication, and the management server 10 is connected via the network 1. For example, the antenna unit 20 includes narrowband communication such as a DSRC antenna, but any other antenna that can communicate with the automobile 30 may be used.

  The automobile 30 includes a calculation processing unit 300, a storage unit 310, a communication unit 320, a display unit 330, and an input unit 340.

  The arithmetic processing unit 300 includes a storage amount detection unit 301 and an automobile information storage unit 302. Perform other necessary computations.

  The storage amount detection unit 301 detects the storage amount of the automobile 30. The actual storage amount may be detected by quantification, or may be expressed as a percentage as a ratio of the storage amount to the maximum storage amount of the storage battery loaded on the automobile 30.

  The vehicle information transmission unit 302 reads the vehicle information from the vehicle information DB 312 that stores various types of vehicle information, and provides the vehicle information to the arithmetic processing unit 100. For example, vehicle type information, car owners, and the like. Further, information such as the maximum power storage amount of the battery to be loaded, the traveling speed, and the amount of power used for each traveling speed may be stored.

  The storage unit 310 includes a power storage amount information DB 311 and a car information DB 312 and stores power storage amount information and car information (driver information) of the car 30, respectively.

  The communication unit 320 is connected to the communication unit 120 of the management server 10 via the antenna unit 20 and the communication network 1 and transmits and receives various types of information.

  The display unit 330 is a display screen that displays reservation information, charging station information, a map, and the like. A selection screen for whether or not to make a reservation may be output. In the present embodiment, the medium is displayed as an image or the like. However, other output functions, for example, an audio output unit by audio output may be used.

  The input unit 340 is used for inputting various information. For example, it is a touch panel displayed on a button or the display unit 330. Further, the input signal may be obtained by recognizing a voice uttered by a driver of the automobile 30 or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the information registration unit 101 is an information registration program, the travel distance calculation unit 102 is a travel distance calculation program, the charging station search unit 103 is a charging station search program, and the charging station reservation unit 104 is a charging station reservation program. There may be.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the first embodiment.

  First, the automobile 30 enters a predetermined road where the antenna unit 20 is installed.

  Next, when communication is established between the antenna unit 20 and the communication unit 320 installed at predetermined intervals in a predetermined road, the automobile 30 is detected by the storage amount detection unit 301 via the communication unit 320. The information on the vehicle is transmitted from the stored power amount and the vehicle information transmission unit 302 to the antenna unit 20 (S101).

  The management server 10 receives the transmitted information by the communication unit 120, and stores information on the vehicle in the vehicle information DB 111 and information on the storage amount in the storage amount information DB 112. The received position information of the antenna unit 20 is stored in the antenna position information DB 113 (step S201).

  The schedule acquisition / providing unit 104 reads the travel route information and the schedule including the final destination stored in the schedule information DB 115, and provides them to the travel distance calculating unit 102 (step S202).

  The travel distance calculation unit 102 calculates a travelable distance of the automobile incorporating the scheduled charging time. In the present embodiment, from the vehicle information of the vehicle 30 sent via the antenna unit 20 and the storage amount information that is the remaining capacity of the battery (or the planned storage amount if the scheduled charging time is incorporated in the schedule information). The travelable distance from the point where the information is received (the predetermined point in the area where each antenna unit 20 can wirelessly communicate with the automobile 30) is calculated (step S203).

  The charging station search unit 103 receives the information related to the travelable distance sent from the travel distance calculation unit 102 and determines whether the travelable distance is reachable to the final destination of the schedule. When it is possible to reach the final destination, that is, when it is determined that no detour for charging is necessary on the way, the process is terminated (step S204-NO). When the final destination cannot be reached, the reachable charging station is extracted from the schedule empty time, the moving route, and the amount of stored electricity (or the travelable distance), and the charging time is calculated. Information about the charging station and the charging time is provided to the automobile 30. If there is a charging station at the staying place, the charging station is preferentially guided (step S205).

  Information on the charging station and the charging time is displayed on the display unit 330 (step S102).

  Thereafter, the provided charging station may be automatically reserved, or may be reserved at the discretion of the driver. The same applies to the following embodiments.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the remaining amount information of the storage battery (battery) mounted on the vehicle is transmitted to the management server 10 via the antenna unit 20, and the amount of charge in the middle of the movement path is also taken into account. Thus, the optimal charging station or charging time can be guided to the automobile 30 from the calculated travelable distance.

<Modification 1>
In the first embodiment, the position information of the antenna unit 20 is used, but in this embodiment, instead of this, a position information acquisition unit 305 is provided in the arithmetic processing unit 300 in the automobile 30 as shown in FIG. You may use the positional information acquired by GPS.

  The travel route information included in the schedule information may be calculated by the arithmetic processing unit 300 and acquired.

  By doing so, it is possible to divert the calculation processing amount of the server by diverting the position acquisition function and the movement route calculation function of the car navigation system.

  As described above, the functions of the arithmetic processing units and the storage units of the server and the car can share processing with various combinations.

(Second Embodiment)
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the automobile 30 includes a road traffic information acquisition unit 304, a travel distance calculation unit 307, a schedule information DB 313, and a road traffic information DB 116.

  The road traffic information acquisition unit 304 acquires road traffic information such as traffic jam information and provides it to the travel distance calculation unit 307.

  The position information acquisition unit 305 acquires position information of the automobile 30.

  The travel distance calculation unit 307 calculates the travelable distance by incorporating traffic jam information in addition to the vehicle information, the power storage information, and the planned charge amount.

  The schedule information DB 313 stores schedule information. It has the same function as the schedule information DB 115 of the first embodiment.

  The operation will be described with reference to FIG.

  The storage amount detected by the storage amount detection unit 301, the information related to the vehicle provided by the vehicle information transmission unit 302, and the position information detected by the position information acquisition unit 305 are provided to the travel distance calculation unit 307 (step S301).

  The schedule acquisition / providing unit 303 reads the travel route information stored in the schedule information DB 313 and the schedule including the final destination, and provides the schedule to the travel distance calculating unit 307 (step S302).

The road traffic information acquisition unit 304 acquires road traffic information such as traffic jam information from the road traffic information DB 116. In this embodiment, the information is acquired from the DSRC antenna, but the road traffic information may be acquired through another Internet line or the like. The acquired road traffic information is provided to the travel distance calculation unit 307 (step S302-1).
The travel distance calculation unit 307 calculates the possible travel distance of the automobile by acquiring the schedule information and incorporating road traffic information in the travel route to the destination included in the schedule information. In other words, in this embodiment, the vehicle 30 travels from the location where the information is received from the position information, the vehicle information, the storage amount information that is the remaining capacity of the battery (the planned storage amount if there is planned charge information), and the road traffic information. The possible distance is calculated (step S303).

  The charging station search unit 306 receives the information regarding the travelable distance sent from the travel distance calculation unit 307 and determines whether the travelable distance is reachable to the final destination of the schedule. When it is possible to reach the final destination, that is, when it is determined that there is no need for a detour for charging, the process is terminated. When the final destination cannot be reached, the reachable charging station is extracted from the schedule empty time, the moving route, and the amount of stored electricity (or the travelable distance), and the charging time is calculated. If there is a charging station at the place where the charging station and charging time information are displayed on the display unit 330, the charging station is preferentially guided (steps S304 and S305).

  According to the present embodiment, a more accurate travelable distance can be calculated. Therefore, it is possible to provide a more appropriate charging stand from an accurate travelable distance.

<Modification 2>
This example is a modification of the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 6, instead of the road traffic information acquisition unit 304 of the second embodiment, a health state information acquisition unit 308 is replaced with a road traffic information DB 116, and a health state information DB 314 is provided.

  The health condition information acquisition unit 308 acquires information on the amount of eyelid opening of the driver of the automobile 30 (others, face color, head movement, etc.), performs pattern matching with the pattern recorded in the health condition information DB 314, Determine if your health is good. The health condition information regarding this health condition is sent to the charging station search unit 306.

  Receiving this health condition information, the charging station search unit 306 determines whether or not to charge to the final destination of the schedule together with the travel distance information calculated by the travel distance calculation unit 307. If it is determined that the distance to the final destination is short and there is no need for a detour for charging, the process ends. When it is determined that a break should be acquired to the final destination, the reachable charging station is extracted from the schedule free time, the movement route, and the amount of stored electricity (or the travelable distance), and the charging time is calculated together. Information on the charging stand and the charging time is displayed on the display unit 330.

  The operation will be described with reference to FIG.

  The storage amount detected by the storage amount detection unit 301, the information related to the vehicle provided by the vehicle information transmission unit 302, and the position information detected by the position information acquisition unit 305 are provided to the travel distance calculation unit 307 (step S401).

  The schedule acquisition / providing unit 303 reads the travel route information stored in the schedule information DB 313 and the schedule including the final destination, and provides the schedule to the travel distance calculating unit 307 (step S402).

The health condition information acquisition unit 304 acquires road traffic information such as traffic jam information from the health condition information DB 314. The acquired health condition information is provided to the travel distance calculation unit 307 (step S402-1).
The travel distance calculation unit 307 calculates the possible travel distance of the automobile by acquiring the schedule information and incorporating the health condition information in the travel route to the destination included in the schedule information. That is, in the present embodiment, the travelable distance from the point where the information is received is calculated from the position information of the vehicle 30, the vehicle information, the storage amount information that is the remaining capacity of the battery, the planned storage amount, and the road traffic information (step S403). ).

  The charging station search unit 306 receives the information regarding the travelable distance sent from the travel distance calculation unit 307 and determines whether the travelable distance is reachable to the final destination of the schedule. When it is possible to reach the final destination, that is, when it is determined that there is no need for a detour for charging, the process is terminated. When the final destination cannot be reached, the reachable charging station is extracted from the schedule empty time, the moving route, and the amount of stored electricity (or the travelable distance), and the charging time is calculated. Information on the charging station and the charging time is displayed on the display unit 330 (steps S404 and S405).

  Thus, by incorporating the health condition of the driver into the schedule information, it is possible to provide information on the charging station equipment more appropriate for the driver.

<Other variations>
