  The positioning satellite system 100 includes a plurality of positioning satellites 110 and a plurality of quasi-zenith satellites 120. The positioning satellite 110 is an artificial satellite that periodically transmits positioning signals (signals such as L1, L2, and L5) used for positioning. The positioning signal includes information such as a satellite ID for identifying the positioning satellite 110, a positioning signal transmission time (satellite clock time), and a navigation message representing the orbit of each satellite. A positioning system having a plurality of positioning satellites 110 is called a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems). GPS (Global Positioning System), GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System), etc. are examples of GNSS.

  The Quasi-Zenith Satellite 120 (QZS) is an artificial satellite that flies over Japan and is a kind of positioning satellite 110. A quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS) is a positioning system in which a plurality of quasi-zenith satellites 120 fly in a predetermined eight-shaped quasi-zenith orbit and one quasi-zenith satellite 120 is always located above Japan. System). The quasi-zenith satellite 120 periodically transmits a positioning signal and an L6 signal as a positioning reinforcement signal. Since the quasi-zenith satellite 120 exists in a high elevation direction when viewed from various parts of Japan, the positioning signal and the L6 signal transmitted from the quasi-zenith satellite 120 are rarely shielded by buildings, mountains, trees, and the like. That is, even when the vehicle 90 travels in an urban area surrounded by high-rise buildings, the in-vehicle device 50 of the vehicle 90 can receive the positioning signal and the L6 signal from the quasi-zenith satellite 120.

  The L6 signal is a signal transmitted from the quasi-zenith satellite 120 at a predetermined frequency (1277.85 MHz) in the L band.

The in-vehicle device 50 of the vehicle 90 corrects the error amount included in the observation amount of the positioning signal based on the positioning reinforcement information included in the L6 signal, and locates the self position using the corrected observation amount of the positioning signal. By correcting the observation amount of the positioning signal based on the positioning reinforcement information, the self-position can be determined with high accuracy of a centimeter (cm) class with an error of less than 1 meter. Here, the observation amount of the positioning signal is, for example, a pseudo distance between the in-vehicle device 50 and the positioning satellite 110. The error amount included in the observed amount of the positioning signal includes the satellite orbit, the satellite clock error, the satellite signal bias, etc. included in the positioning satellite 110 and the quasi-zenith satellite 120, the positioning satellite 110, the quasi-zenith satellite 120, and the in-vehicle device 50.

The positioning signal receiver 54 receives a positioning signal from the positioning satellite 110 via the positioning signal receiving antenna 52, and calculates an observation amount of the positioning signal based on the reception result. For example, the positioning signal receiving unit 54 is based on the transmission time of the positioning signal transmitted from the positioning satellite 110 (time information of the internal clock of the positioning satellite 110) and the reception time received by itself (time information of its own internal clock). Thus, the pseudo distance between the positioning satellite 110 and the positioning signal receiving antenna 52 to which the positioning signal receiving unit 54 is connected is calculated. Information included in the positioning signal, the phase of the positioning signal (carrier wave) at the time of reception, the reception time when the positioning signal is received, and the like are also examples of the amount of observation of the positioning signal. Information included in the positioning signal includes the transmission time of the positioning signal of the positioning satellite 110, orbit information (almanac, ephemeris, etc.) and the like. The positioning signal receiver 54 outputs the calculated pseudo distance, positioning signal transmission time, reception time, and reception status.

The communication antenna 73 performs data communication with the base station apparatus 150 and exchanges communication data. The communication antenna 71 performs data communication with a plurality of portable terminals 60 and exchanges communication data.

  The settlement apparatus 70 uses a plurality of service areas, based on the self-location and measurement time (time information or log recording time of the in-vehicle device 50) that the log received directly or indirectly from the communication unit 58 has. Service usage status information including frequency is calculated, a usage fee is determined based on the calculated service usage status information, and the usage fee is settled.

  The input / output unit 72 includes an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, and a motion input device for a passenger of the vehicle 90 to input information manually or by gesture input, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (organic electroluminescence) An output display device such as a display and an input / output processing processor for performing input / output processing of data input from the input device or data displayed on the screen of the output display device. Communication antenna 73 inputs a received signal including external input information received from base station apparatus 150 to communication unit 58. The communication unit 58 demodulates the reception signal input from the communication antenna 73 and reproduces external input information. The communication unit 58 inputs the reproduced external input information to the input / output unit 72. The input / output unit 72 inputs the external input information obtained from the communication unit 58 to the log acquisition unit 57. The input / output unit 72 displays the output information output from the log acquisition unit 57 on the output display device.

  The authentication area setting system 500 includes a server, a computer, a display device, an input device, and the like, and may include a cloud system in which a plurality of servers are connected. In the authentication area setting system 500, the position and shape information of a plurality of authentication areas are input by a system administrator or operator (hereinafter referred to as a system operator) or a system user (hereinafter referred to as a system user). The position and shape information of each authentication area includes an authentication area identification number that identifies the authentication area, a point group that discretely represents the boundary line (shape) of the authentication area, and the position coordinates of each point that constitutes the point group Consists of. The position and shape information of each authentication area set by the authentication area setting system 500 is input to the base station apparatus 150 in accordance with a data distribution instruction from a system operator or a system user. The base station device 150 transmits the position and shape information of each authentication area to the communication unit 58 via the communication antenna 73 of the in-vehicle device 50. The communication unit 58 inputs the received position and shape information of each authentication area to the log acquisition unit 57 via the input / output unit 72.

  The self-position locating unit 56 performs independent positioning (positioning performed without using the correction amount calculated by the decoding unit 55) using the observed amount of the positioning signal calculated by the positioning signal receiving unit 54, and determines the approximate position of itself. The approximate coordinate value shown is calculated. The approximate coordinate value obtained by the single positioning of the self-positioning unit 56 includes an error of about 1 meter to 10 meters, and calculates the coordinate value of the centimeter class accuracy (error less than 1 meter) only by the single positioning. It ’s difficult.

  The decoding unit 55 selects, from the region-specific positioning reinforcement information acquired by the L6 signal receiving unit 53, the region-based positioning reinforcement information including the approximate position indicated by the approximate position coordinate value calculated by the self-positioning unit 56. To do. For example, the decoding unit 55 stores map data indicating each region in advance in the in-vehicle device recording unit 59, and the decoding unit 55 determines the region including the approximate position from the map data. Based on the error information corresponding to the region such as satellite clock error, satellite position error, ionosphere delay, troposphere delay, etc. included in the positioning reinforcement information of the selected region, the decoding unit 55 uses the Kalman filter to the positioning signal receiving unit 54. The correction amount for correcting the observed amount of the positioning signal calculated in this way (for example, the correction amount of the pseudo distance) is calculated.

  In addition, the self-positioning unit 56 adds the correction amount calculated by the decoding unit 55 to the observed amount of the positioning signal calculated by the positioning signal receiving unit 54 to correct the observed amount of the positioning signal. The self-location locating unit 56 calculates an error in its positioning coordinate value (a three-dimensional position composed of latitude, longitude, and altitude) and a positioning signal reception time using the corrected amount of positioning signal observed. This orientation coordinate value is obtained as a position coordinate value with an accuracy of centimeter class (an error of less than 1 meter). The self location unit 56 corrects the reception time of the positioning signal using the error of the reception time of the calculated positioning signal, and calculates the error corrected reception time.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation flow of the log acquisition unit 57 of the in-vehicle device 90 according to the first embodiment.
The log acquisition unit 57 receives the position and shape information of each authentication area acquired by the input / output unit 72 from the communication unit 58 from the input / output unit 72. Based on the position and shape information of each authentication area input from the input / output unit 72, the log acquisition unit 57 calculates the position coordinates at each point of the point group representing the boundary line of each authentication area corresponding to the authentication area identification number. By recording in the in-vehicle device recording unit 59, a plurality of authentication areas are set in advance.

  The log acquisition unit 57 outputs, to the screen display device, screen information that prompts the input / output unit 72 to select a specific authentication area from among a plurality of authentication areas. The passenger of the vehicle 90 selects a specific authentication area to be used this time from a plurality of authentication area selection screens displayed on the screen display device of the input / output unit 72, and uses the selected specific authentication area. Is determined (step S101).

  The log acquisition unit 57 obtains the position information of the in-vehicle device 50 measured by the self-location locating unit 56 by obtaining the orientation coordinate value calculated by the self-location locating unit 56 (step S102). At this time, the log acquisition unit 57 obtains the error corrected reception time calculated by the self location unit 56 as time information of the in-vehicle device 50.

Next, the log acquisition unit 57 sets the position information acquired from the self location unit 56 as the current position. The log acquisition unit 57 extracts the coordinate information of the point cloud that represents the boundary line of the specific authentication area that has been determined to be used, recorded in the in-vehicle device recording unit 59, and the point cloud that represents the boundary line of the extracted authentication area. The coordinate information is compared with the orientation coordinate value at the current position. The log acquisition unit 57 determines whether or not the orientation coordinate value obtained from the self-position location unit 56 is a coordinate value existing inside the boundary line of the authentication area (step S103).
As a result of the determination, if the orientation coordinate value acquired from the self-position location unit 56 is present within the boundary line of the authentication area, the in-vehicle device 50 determines that it is within the authentication area range (Yes).
As a result of the determination, if the orientation coordinate value acquired from the self-position location unit 56 exists outside the boundary line of the authentication area, it is determined that the in-vehicle device 50 is outside the authentication area range (No).

  When the log acquisition unit 57 determines in step S103 that the in-vehicle device 50 exists within the authentication area (Yes), the time information, the position information, the speed information of the in-vehicle device 50 obtained from the self-positioning unit 56, Further, acquisition of history information (hereinafter referred to as a log) including data in which the reception status is recorded in time series is permitted (step S104). Also, timer processing for counting the elapsed time (log recording time) from the log acquisition start time is started. At the start time, the count value of the timer is set to zero. Further, the settlement flag is set to 0.

  If the in-vehicle device 50 determines that the in-vehicle device 50 is outside the authentication area (No) in step S103, the log acquisition unit 57 proceeds to the processing in step S112 described later and rejects the acquisition of the log (step S112).

  When the log acquisition is permitted in step S104, the log acquisition unit 57 starts log acquisition (logging) in step S105.

When the log acquisition unit 57 starts acquiring the log in step S105, the log acquisition unit 57 acquires the log. The log acquisition unit 57 acquires the log by continuously recording the time information, the position information, and the reception status of the in-vehicle device 50 obtained from the self-location locating unit 56 in the in-vehicle device recording unit 59 ( Step S107).
At this time, the log acquisition unit 57 adds the log recording time to the acquired log data, associates the log recording time with the orientation coordinate value acquired at the log recording time, and records it in the in-vehicle device recording unit 59. To do. The log recording time is a time corresponding to the count value of the timer.
In addition, the log acquisition unit 57 uses the difference between the position information of the in-vehicle device 50 in the log newly acquired in the current log recording time and the position information of the in-vehicle device 50 in the log acquired in the past log recording time. Find 50 speeds. The obtained speed is recorded in the in-vehicle device recording unit 59 as a part of log data at the current log recording time.

  The log acquisition unit 57 updates the position information acquired from the self-positioning unit 56 as the current position by acquiring the log in step S107 (step S108).

The log acquisition unit 57 extracts the coordinate information of the point group indicating the boundary line of the authentication area recorded in the in-vehicle device recording unit 59, the coordinate information of the point group indicating the boundary line of the extracted authentication area, and the self-location determination. The orientation coordinate value at the current position acquired from the unit 56 is compared. The log acquisition unit 57 determines whether or not the orientation coordinate value at the current position obtained from the self-location location unit 56 is a coordinate value existing inside the boundary line of the authentication area (step S109).
As a result of the determination in step S109, when the orientation coordinate value acquired from the self-position location unit 56 is present within the boundary line of the authentication area, the in-vehicle device 50 determines that it is within the authentication area range (Yes). .
On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S109, if the orientation coordinate value acquired from the self-position location unit 56 exists outside the boundary line of the authentication area, the in-vehicle device 50 is out of the authentication area range (No). to decide.

In step S109, the log acquisition unit 57 extracts the coordinate information of the point group indicating the boundary line of the restricted entry area 305 recorded in the in-vehicle device recording unit 59, and indicates the extracted boundary line of the restricted entry region 305. The coordinate information of the point group is compared with the orientation coordinate value at the current position acquired from the self-location locating unit 56, and the orientation coordinate value at the current position obtained from the self-location locating unit 56 exists inside the restricted entry area. It may be determined whether or not.
In this case, the log acquisition unit 57 sends warning display information indicating that entry is prohibited to the input / output unit 72 of the in-vehicle device 50 when the in-vehicle device 50 enters the inaccessible area. A warning may be displayed on the display screen of the unit 72.

If the log acquisition unit 57 determines in step S109 that the in-vehicle device 50 is outside the range of the authentication area (No), the log acquisition unit 57 ends the logging. At the same time, the settlement flag is set to 1.
At this time, the log acquisition unit 57 stops the acquisition of the position information from the self-location determining unit 56 and sets the count value in the timer process to zero, and then proceeds to the process of step S112 described later to acquire the log. I refuse.

  If the in-vehicle device 50 determines in step S109 that the in-vehicle device 50 exists within the authentication area (Yes), the log acquisition unit 57 checks the presence or absence of a logging end flag (step S110).

  Here, when the passenger of the vehicle 90 connects the in-vehicle device 50 to the settlement device 70 by wire or wireless, the communication unit 58 detects a state in which the in-vehicle device 50 and the settlement device 70 are connected. When this state is detected, the communication unit 58 transmits control information for instructing the log acquisition unit 57 to set the logging end flag, and the log acquisition unit 57 sets the logging end flag to 1.

  Further, the log acquisition unit 57 can set the logging end flag to 1 when the passenger of the vehicle 90 operates the input / output unit 72 and inputs information for instructing the end of logging. For example, when the passenger of the vehicle 90 presses an operation button indicating “execution of settlement” displayed on the display screen of the input / output unit 72, the logging end flag of the log acquisition unit 57 is set to 1. Also good.

When the log acquisition unit 57 confirms that the logging end flag is set to 0 in step S110, the log acquisition unit 57 determines that there is no logging end flag, performs the logging end processing in step S111, and proceeds to step S106. Timer interrupt processing.
This timer interruption process waits for a certain time (for example, 1 second) when the increment of the timer count value reaches a certain number, and when the certain time has elapsed, the process returns to step S105 again, and the processes after step S105 are continued. Do it.
That is, the log acquisition unit 57 acquires the log at a constant time interval (for example, every 1 second) at which the count value of the timer reaches a constant number by the processes of steps S106, S105, and S107.

On the other hand, when it is confirmed in step S110 that the logging end flag is set to 1, the log acquisition unit 57 determines that there is a logging end flag. In this case, the settlement flag is set to 1, and the logging is terminated, the process proceeds to step S112, and the log acquisition is rejected.
At this time, the log acquisition unit 57 stops the acquisition of the position information from the self position determination unit 56 and sets the count value of the timer process to zero. At this time, the log acquisition unit 57 resets the logging end flag to zero.

  The log acquisition unit 57 takes out the recorded log from the in-vehicle device recording unit 59 after refusing the log acquisition of the self-positioning unit 56 in the process of step S112.

  In the process of step S112, when the communication unit 58 is connected to the payment apparatus 70 and the log acquisition unit 57 sets 1 in the payment flag, the log acquisition unit 57 performs the in-vehicle device recording unit via the communication unit 58. The log taken out from 59 is given an in-vehicle device identification code and transmitted to the settlement device 70. In addition, the communication unit 58 transmits the log extracted by the log acquisition unit 57 from the in-vehicle device recording unit 59 to the mobile terminal 60 with the in-vehicle device identification code added via the communication antenna 71.

At this time, the communication unit 58 transmits the log, which is extracted from the in-vehicle device recording unit 59 and provided with the in-vehicle device identification code, from the communication antenna 71 to the mobile terminal 60 and the received log is transmitted from the mobile terminal 60 to the settlement device. 70 may be transferred.
In addition, the communication unit 58 transmits the log, which is extracted from the in-vehicle device recording unit 59 and provided with the in-vehicle device identification code, to the base station device 150 via the communication antenna 73, and the received log is transmitted to the base station. You may make it transfer to the payment apparatus 70 from the apparatus 150. FIG.
Further, the communication unit 58 transmits the log extracted from the in-vehicle device recording unit 59 to the base station device 150 via the communication antenna 73, and the received log is transmitted from the base station device 150 to the mobile terminal 60. After the transfer, it may be transferred from the portable terminal 60 to the settlement apparatus 70.
Note that the communication unit 58 performs an encryption process to conceal communication data so that communication is not intercepted when the log extracted from the in-vehicle device recording unit 59 is transmitted directly or indirectly to the settlement apparatus 70. Needless to say.

  As a result, data is exchanged directly or indirectly between the in-vehicle device 50 and the settlement device 70, and the payment of the usage fee for receiving the use of a specific service within the authentication area 400 is performed. Done.

  The log acquisition unit 57 returns the log to the communication unit 58 in step S112, returns to step S101, and continues the processing from step S101 again.

  Next, a case where the vehicle 90 passes through the second movement route will be described. Since the initial position 320 (position number 0) is outside the authentication area 400, the log acquisition of the position information of the in-vehicle device 50 is not performed by the process of step S103 of the log acquisition unit 57.

  Next, when the vehicle 90 reaches the in-area position 321 (position number 1), the in-area position 321 is inside the authentication area 400, and therefore the position of the in-vehicle device 50 is determined by the processing in step S103 of the log acquisition unit 57. It is confirmed that it is within the range of the authentication area 400. By the processing of steps S104, S105, S107, and S108, the log acquisition of the position information of the in-vehicle device 50 is started, and the logs of the position information (x1, y1, z1) and the speed (vx1, vy1, vz1) of the in-vehicle device 50 are recorded.

The L6 signal receiving unit 63 acquires positioning reinforcement information for each region from the L6 signal reproduced as a digital signal. The positioning signal receiving unit 64 receives a positioning signal from the positioning satellite 110 via the positioning signal receiving antenna 62, and calculates an observation amount of the positioning signal based on the reception result. For example, the positioning signal receiving unit 64 is based on the transmission time of the positioning signal transmitted from the positioning satellite 110 (time information of the internal clock of the positioning satellite 110) and the reception time received by itself (time information of its own internal clock). Thus, the pseudo distance between the positioning satellite 110 and the positioning signal receiving antenna 62 connected to the positioning signal receiving unit 64 is calculated.

The input / output unit 82 inputs external input information obtained from the communication unit 68 to the data integration processing unit 67. The input / output unit 82 displays the output information output from the data integration processing unit 67 on the screen of the output display device.

  The self-location locating unit 66 performs independent positioning (positioning performed without using the correction amount calculated by the decoding unit 65) using the observed amount of the positioning signal calculated by the positioning signal receiving unit 64, and determines the approximate position of itself. The approximate coordinate value shown is calculated. The approximate coordinate value obtained by the single positioning of the self-positioning unit 66 includes an error of about 1 meter to 10 meters, and calculates the coordinate value of the centimeter class accuracy (error less than 1 meter) only by the single positioning. It ’s difficult.

To do. For example, the decoding unit 65 stores map data indicating each region in the mobile terminal recording unit 69 in advance, and the decoding unit 65 determines the region including the approximate position from the map data. The decoding unit 65 uses the Kalman filter based on error information corresponding to the region such as satellite clock error, satellite position error, ionosphere delay, troposphere delay, and the like included in the positioning reinforcement information of the selected region, and the positioning signal receiving unit 64. A correction amount for correcting the observation amount of the positioning signal calculated in (for example, a correction amount of the pseudo distance) is calculated.

  In addition, the self-positioning unit 66 corrects the observation amount of the positioning signal by adding the correction amount calculated by the decoding unit 65 to the observation amount of the positioning signal calculated by the positioning signal receiving unit 64. The self-location locating unit 66 calculates an error in its positioning coordinate value (a three-dimensional position including latitude, longitude, and altitude) and a positioning signal reception time using the corrected amount of positioning signal observed. This orientation coordinate value is obtained as a position coordinate value with an accuracy of centimeter class (an error of less than 1 meter). The self-position locating unit 66 corrects the reception time of the positioning signal using the error of the calculated reception time of the positioning signal, and calculates the error-corrected reception time.

FIG. 8 shows an example of stored data of the service usage history of the service partial area used by the user identified by the service partial area identification unit 501.
The service partial area identifying unit 501 accumulates the information of the service partial area that has been identified for use based on the history information of the position in the log that is extracted from the in-vehicle apparatus recording unit 59 and provided with the in-vehicle apparatus identification code. For example, from log data when passing through the first movement route as shown in FIG. 5A, and log data when passing through the second movement route as shown in FIG. 5B, The service partial area used by the user is identified as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 8, according to the first movement route shown in FIG. 5A, the vehicle 90 has a parking area 303 (service area number C), a parking area 304 (service area number D), and a checkout office 310 (service area number E). ) At this time, the service partial area identification unit 501 records the service use date, service use number, and position in the order of the service area numbers C, D, and E as the accumulated data of the service use history of the data numbers 1 to 3.
Subsequently, the vehicle 90 moves to the parking area 303 (service area number C) and the checkout office 310 (service area number E) by the second movement route shown in FIG. 5B. At this time, the service partial area identifying unit 501 uses the service usage date and time, the service usage number, the position, etc. in the order of the service area numbers C and E as the accumulated data of the service usage history of the data numbers 4 and 5. Record the information.

  Next, the service usage time measuring unit 502 extracts each service partial region identified by the service partial region identifying unit 501 based on the history information of the position in the log that is taken out of the in-vehicle device recording unit 59 and given the in-vehicle device identification code. Then, the time during which the user stays in the service partial area and uses the service is obtained, and the service usage time is calculated.

For example, in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8, the service partial area number C of the data number k1 is the service usage time because the vehicle 90 is stopped at the position (x2, y2, z2) from the log recording time t2 to t4. Is calculated by T1 = t4-t2. In addition, since the vehicle 90 is stopped at the position (x3, y3, z3) from the log recording time t5 to t6, the service partial area number D of the data number k2 indicates the service usage time as T2 = t6- Calculate by t5. In addition, since the vehicle 90 is stopped at the position (x5, y5, z5) from the log recording time t8 to t9, the service partial area number E of the data number k3 indicates the service usage time as T3 = t9− Calculate by t8.
Similarly, since the vehicle 90 stops at the position (x2, y2, z2) from the log recording time t2 to t4, the service partial area number C of the data number k4 indicates the service usage time as T4 = t4. Calculate by -t2. Further, the service partial area number E of the data number k5 indicates that the service use time is T5 = t4− because the vehicle 90 is stopped at the position (x5, y5, z5) from the log recording time t3 to t4. Calculate by t3. The service partial area number E of the data number k3 indicates that the service use time is T5 = t9− because the vehicle 90 is stopped at the position (x5, y5, z5) from the log recording time t8 to t9. Calculate by t8.

The service usage count measuring unit 503 obtains the service part for each service partial area identified by the service partial area identifying unit 501 based on the history information of the position in the log taken out from the in-vehicle apparatus recording unit 59 and given the in-vehicle apparatus identification code. Measures the number of times the service is used in the area.
For example, in FIG. 8, the number of service usages is sequentially increased every time the service partial area is used.
Since the service partial area number C is used twice for the data numbers k1 and k4, the final service usage count is twice.
Further, since the service partial area number E is used twice for the data numbers k3 and k5, the final service usage count is two.
Since the service partial area number D is used only once for the data number k2, the final service usage count is one.

The service usage order measuring unit 504 extracts the service part for each service partial area identified by the service partial area identifying unit 501 based on the history information of the position in the log taken out from the in-vehicle apparatus recording unit 59 and given the in-vehicle apparatus identification code. Measure the service usage order in which services are used in the domain.
For example, in FIGS. 5 and 8, the service use order is the order in which the service partial areas are used, and the order is counted.
Data numbers k1 to k3 have data numbers corresponding to position numbers 2, 3, and 5 giving service partial areas among data numbers 1 to 9 in FIG. Increase by increments.
Since the data number k4 has only one data number corresponding to the position number 2 that gives the service partial area among the continuous first half data numbers 1 to 5 in FIG. 5B, the order is one. .
Since the data number k5 has only one data number corresponding to the position number 5 giving the service partial area among the consecutive second half data numbers 1 to 4 in FIG. 5B, the order is one. .

The service user count unit 505 extracts the service part for each service partial area identified by the service partial area identification unit 501 based on the history information of the position in the log extracted from the in-vehicle apparatus recording unit 59 and given the in-vehicle apparatus identification code. Measure the number of service users who used the service in the domain.
For example, in FIG. 4, the person carrying the mobile terminal 60 parks the vehicle 90 in the parking area 303 and then carries the mobile terminal 60 and enters the service facility 301 (service area number A).
The service user counting unit 505 refers to the position and shape information of the service facility 301 based on the positioning coordinate value measured by the self-positioning unit 66, and the positioning of the self-positioning unit 66. It is determined whether or not the determined coordinate value exists within the area of the service facility 301. At this time, the service user counting unit 505 determines whether or not the mobile terminals 60 of all the passengers in the vehicle 90 exist within the area of the service facility 301.
The service user counting unit 505 counts all the quantities existing in the area of the service facility 301 for the portable terminal 60 that has received the log data from the in-vehicle device 50 having the same in-vehicle device identification code. Measure the number of users.

  As described above, the data integration processing unit 67 uses the service partial area identification unit 501, the service usage time measurement unit 502, the service usage count measurement unit 503, the service usage order measurement unit 504, and the service usage number measurement unit 505 to determine the service usage location, Measure service usage status information in the service area, which includes service usage history such as service usage time, service usage count, service usage order, number of service users, and the like.

  The data integration processing unit 67 of the portable terminal 60 transmits service usage status information in the service area in association with the vehicle-mounted device identification code via the base station 150 or the vehicle-mounted device 50 through the communication unit 68 and the communication antenna 76. Send to.

  The settlement apparatus 70 determines the service partial area in the authentication area based on the log data from the in-vehicle apparatus 50 and the service usage status information in the service area from the mobile terminal 60 corresponding to the in-vehicle apparatus identification code of the in-vehicle apparatus 50. Settle the usage fee. The settlement apparatus 70 settles a service usage fee based on service usage status information such as a service usage location, a service usage time, a time zone, and a service usage frequency.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of service usage locations in the service area 300.
In FIG. 9, as a service partial area, a parking lot 351 is provided in the parking area 311, a leisure facility 352 is provided in the leisure facility area 312, an accommodation facility 353 is provided in the accommodation facility area 313, and the toll road 304 Are provided in the toll road area 314.

  A passenger of the vehicle 90 uses different services in different service usage locations in the service area 300, the parking area 311, the leisure facility area 312, the accommodation facility area 313, and the toll road area 314. The service partial area has a different usage fee system for each service usage location.

  The settlement apparatus 70 sets a basic fee for the service usage of all users who enter the service area 300. Further, the settlement apparatus 70 sets different deduction points according to service usage status information such as service usage location, service usage time, service usage count, service usage order, service usage number, and the like. The settlement apparatus 70 charges the user an amount (FP) obtained by subtracting the reduction point (P) from the basic fee (F) as a service usage fee.

The settlement apparatus 70 obtains a reduction point, for example, as follows according to service usage status information such as service usage location, service usage time (time), service usage count, service usage order, number of service users, and the like.
First, assuming that the basic charge is 100 thousand yen, the reduction points are set to 10 points when a specific combination of service use places is used among all service use places.
In addition, when entering the restricted area, a penalty is imposed with the reduced point as a negative value.

Further, when the service usage time H is between the minimum usage time Hmin and the basic usage time H0, a reduction point is calculated by the following equation.
(H-Hmin) / (H0-Hmin) * 10
Further, when the service use time is included in a specific reduction time zone, a reduction point may be calculated.

Further, when the service usage count (service usage frequency) is N, the reduction point is calculated by the following equation.
N / (reduction limit on the number of times of use) * 10
However, if N is equal to or greater than the usage count reduction limit (for example, 100), it is assumed to be 10 points.

  If the service usage order is G, a reduction point is set to 10 when a service with G = 1 is used.

If the number of service users is J, the reduction points are calculated by the following formula.
J / (Reduction limit on number of users) × 10
However, if J is equal to or greater than the limit for reducing the number of users (for example, 10), the point is 10.

  Thus, the service data in the service area 300 in the service area 300 is transmitted by transmitting the log data of the in-vehicle apparatus 50 directly or indirectly to the settlement apparatus 70 via the mobile terminal 60, the base station 150, or the like. It is possible to automatically grasp the situation information and automatically calculate the usage fee for each user (or perform automatic accounting calculation) and charge the usage fee to each user. The usage fee can be billed and settled by credit card payment, automatic withdrawal processing of the usage fee charge from the bank account, and the like.

This eliminates the need to install fences and gates around each service partial area. In addition, since it is possible to reduce the expenses for installing the fences and gates and the work expenses of the personnel who operate them, it is possible to reduce the operating expenses (costs) of the service.
When the log acquisition unit 57 is installed in the mobile terminal 60, the log data is transmitted from the mobile terminal 60 directly or indirectly through the base station 150 to the settlement apparatus 70, and payment for payment of the service usage fee is made. It can be performed.

  In addition, a user of a service in each service partial area mounts the positioning reinforcement signal and the positioning signal receiving unit 601 on the in-vehicle device 50, or mounts the positioning reinforcement signal and the positioning signal receiving unit 602 on the portable terminal 60. When moving to each service partial area and using the service, for example, it is not necessary to take out a ticket, a service use dedicated card, a credit card, etc. and perform settlement, and the convenience can be greatly improved.

Furthermore, it is possible to prevent a service user from erroneously entering each service partial area (entrance prohibited area) that is prohibited from entering or prohibited from entering. In addition, by acquiring the in-vehicle device identification code of the in-vehicle device 50 mounted on the vehicle 90 that has entered the restricted entry region, entry of the in-vehicle device 50 into the restricted entry region can be monitored.
by this,

  In this way, various fee systems according to the service usage form can be obtained by obtaining reduction points according to service usage status information such as service usage location, service usage time, service usage count, service usage order, number of service users, etc. Thus, it becomes possible to provide a service.
