  In recent years, vehicles have been used in a form shared with other users such as car sharing. For example, there are multiple vehicle operation bases that can receive and return shared vehicles and exchange (transfer) to another shared vehicle in a certain area. It is also possible to return the vehicle at the vehicle operation base or exchange the shared vehicle received at one vehicle operation base at another vehicle operation base. In that case, an electric vehicle may be used as a shared vehicle.

  And when considering car sharing of electric vehicles, even if it goes to the vehicle operation base, there is no shared electric vehicle that can be used, or there is a common that can be used, in relation to the use timing of the shared electric vehicle by other users Even if there is an electric vehicle, there is a case where the travelable distance is short (that is, when the remaining amount of electric energy is small). Therefore, even if it is attempted to replace the shared electric vehicle at the vehicle operation base between the current location and the destination, there is a problem that it is not known which shared electric vehicle should be replaced at which vehicle operation base.

  In addition, the information providing apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is an apparatus that provides information in real time to an electric vehicle that has already started operation. For example, the information providing apparatus may be provided with information at home before departure. Not available for

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to propose information about the operation process of the shared electric vehicle before departure to the user who plans to use the shared electric vehicle. The point is to provide an operation process proposal device.

The characteristic configuration of the operation process proposing device according to the present invention for achieving the above object is an operation process proposing device that proposes an operation process of a vehicle to a user,
Base information on the location of a plurality of vehicle operation bases capable of receiving and returning a shared electric vehicle operated by electric energy and exchanging with another shared electric vehicle, and being operated in each of the plurality of vehicle operation bases The vehicle information about the available time zone and the travelable distance of the shared electric vehicle is stored, the replenishment location information about the replenishment location where the electric energy required for the operation of the shared electric vehicle can be replenished, and the map information about the road map Storage means for

The stroke candidate determining means replaces the shared electric vehicle at the vehicle operation base in the middle of the stroke, and replenishes the shared electric vehicle with electric energy at the replenishment location in the middle of the stroke. The operation process candidate including either one can be determined.

According to the above characteristic configuration, the process candidate determination means includes the departure place, the destination, and the target departure date / time or the target arrival date / time included in the response input input by the user at the user terminal, and the storage means. Based on the base information, vehicle information, charging location information and map information stored in the vehicle, use a shared electric vehicle to depart from the vehicle operation base corresponding to the departure location, then pass through the destination, The operation process candidate of the shared electric vehicle that can be returned to the vehicle operation base corresponding to is determined. And a process candidate transmission means transmits the information about the operation process candidate determined by the process candidate determination means to a user terminal. In other words, there is a restriction on the available time zone for the shared electric vehicle, but the process candidate determining means determines the vehicle operation base corresponding to the departure place while taking into consideration the available time zone and the available distance of the shared electric vehicle. It is possible to determine a suitable common electric vehicle operation process candidate that can be returned to the vehicle operation base corresponding to the departure place through the destination after the departure. In addition, the process candidate determining means replaces the shared electric vehicle at the vehicle operation base in the middle of the process, and / or replenishes the shared electric vehicle with electric energy at the replenishment location in the process. Operation process candidates including one can be determined. As a result, for a user who uses the user terminal, a round trip between the departure point and the destination can be performed using the shared electric vehicle in a state where replacement or charging of the shared electric vehicle can be included in the middle of the process. It is possible to present information on operation process candidates that can be reliably performed.
In addition, the user can contact the information about the operation process candidate using the user terminal before departure.
Therefore, it is possible to provide an operation process proposal device capable of proposing information about the operation process of the shared electric vehicle before departure to the user who plans to use the shared electric vehicle.

The operation process candidate is a process that can use the shared electric vehicle to depart from the vehicle operation base corresponding to the departure place, and then return to the vehicle operation base corresponding to the departure place through the destination. Therefore, when a user selects and inputs an operation process candidate, the user receives a shared electric vehicle at the vehicle operation base corresponding to the departure place, passes through the destination, and is shared at the vehicle operation base corresponding to the departure place. It can be considered that the user wishes to use a shared electric vehicle that is scheduled to return the electric vehicle.
Therefore, in this feature configuration, the selection input accepting unit accepts the user's selection input for the operation process candidate from the user terminal, and the use reservation accepting unit can be specified by the operation process candidate information received by the selection input receiving unit. It is determined that a reservation for use of the shared electric vehicle has been received during the use time period of the shared electric vehicle. That is, the process of presenting operation process candidates using the shared electric vehicle to the user and the step of accepting the use reservation of the shared electric vehicle from the user can be smoothly performed in a series of procedures.

  Still another characteristic configuration of the operation process proposal device according to the present invention is that the information on the operation process candidates received by the use reservation receiving unit is transmitted to the shared electric vehicle by the start of the use time period of the user. It is in the point provided with the operation process information transmission means which transmits to the route guidance device carried in.

  According to the above characteristic configuration, information on operation process candidates selected and input by the user is transmitted to the route guidance device of the shared electric vehicle before the user starts using the shared electric vehicle. That is, the user does not have to input the destination by operating the route guidance device after receiving the shared electric vehicle.

  Still another characteristic configuration of the operation process proposal device according to the present invention is that the process candidate determination unit determines the operation process candidate including exchanging the shared electric vehicle at the vehicle operation base at the destination. In the point.

According to the above configuration, when a shared electric vehicle is exchanged at the vehicle operation base at the destination, the shared electric vehicle is returned when the destination arrives, stays at the destination, and then the new shared electric vehicle A plurality of shared electric vehicles can be used by a procedure such as receiving a signal (that is, exchanging a shared electric vehicle). In other words, since it is possible to change the shared electric vehicle and act at the destination at the same time, it is possible to use time more effectively than when stopping at a specific vehicle operation base only for exchanging the shared electric vehicle. Can propose operational process candidates.
In addition, when the charge required for using the shared electric vehicle is determined by a usage-time system, the shared electric vehicle is newly operated while acting at the destination, that is, after returning the shared electric vehicle. The usage fee for the shared electric vehicle is not charged until the vehicle is received (that is, while staying at the destination). As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost required during the round trip between the departure place and the destination using the shared electric vehicle.

The plurality of vehicle operation bases 3 are distributed at a distance in a certain area. This vehicle operation base 3 becomes a base for car sharing, for example, and the user can receive and return the vehicle. The shared electric vehicle 4 operated in the vehicle operation base 3 is a vehicle shared by users of this operation process proposal system. For example, a user can become a vehicle sharer by inputting information such as an address and a telephone number into an operation process proposal service provided in the operation process proposal system and registering as a member. Such a user uses the user terminal 1 to make a reservation for use of the shared electric vehicle 4 operated at the vehicle operation base 3, and pays a usage fee in a predetermined time unit such as 15 minutes. Can be used. The user terminal 1 is, for example, a computer device, a tablet information terminal, a small information terminal such as a smartphone. Each shared electric vehicle 4 is equipped with a route guidance device 4a such as a car navigation device.

  The operation process proposal device 10A is an apparatus for proposing the process when such a user intends to go out using the shared electric vehicle 4, and is an information processing function, an information storage function, and an information process. This is realized by one or a plurality of computer devices having the communication function. Specifically, the operation process proposal device 10A of the present embodiment includes a storage unit 11, an input request information creation unit 12, an input request information transmission unit 13, a response input reception unit 14, and a process candidate determination unit 15. The process candidate transmission means 16 is provided.

  The storage means 11 includes base information about a plurality of vehicle operation bases 3 that can receive and return the shared electric vehicle 4, an available time zone and travel of the shared electric vehicle 4 operated at the plurality of vehicle operation bases 3. The vehicle information about the possible distance, the replenishment place information about the replenishment place where the electric energy required for driving the shared electric vehicle 4 can be replenished, and the map information about the road map are stored. The base information is information about the position of each vehicle operation base 3.

  For example, the operation process proposal device 10 </ b> A periodically accesses an information storage unit (not shown) of each vehicle operation base 3 via the information communication network 2, and is shared by the vehicle operation base 3. About the available time zone for the electric vehicle 4 (that is, the time zone in which no reservation for use is made) and the distance that can be traveled by the electric energy stored in the power storage device (not shown) of the shared electric vehicle 4 And the vehicle information can be stored in the storage unit 11.

The replenishment location information is information about a replenishment location of electrical energy that is open to the public. The vehicle operation base 3 may be a charging place.
Alternatively, the supplement location known by the user can be registered as non-public information. For example, if an electric energy replenishment place is installed in an acquaintance's house and the user may use the replenishment place, the place can be registered as replenishment place information.

  The map information includes information about the road map. In addition, it is preferable to include information on the reference travel speed in each section of the road in the map information. If there is information about this reference traveling speed, for example, if the route (road) and distance between the starting point and the destination are determined, the time required for traveling by the shared electric vehicle 4 is derived. Can do. The reference traveling speed may be a speed derived from the time taken by the actually traveled vehicle or a speed limit determined in the section. The reference traveling speed can be stored in the storage unit 11 as one piece of vehicle information.

  The input request information creation means 12 is for requesting the user to input an input item including a departure point, a destination, and a target departure date and time from the departure point or a target arrival date and time at the destination. Create input request information.

  The input request information transmitting unit 13 transmits the input request information created by the input request information creating unit 12 to the user terminal 1.

  The response input receiving unit 14 receives a response input for the input request information input by the user at the user terminal 1.

  The process candidate determination means 15 includes a departure place, a destination, a target departure date / time or a target arrival date / time included in the response input to the input request information, and base information and vehicle information stored in the storage means 11 and Based on the supplementary place information and the map information, the shared electric vehicle 4 is used to leave the vehicle operation base 3 corresponding to the departure place, and then return to the vehicle operation base 3 corresponding to the departure place through the destination. An operation process candidate of the shared electric vehicle 4 that can be used is determined. At this time, the stroke candidate determining means 15 replaces the shared electric vehicle 4 at the vehicle operation base 3 in the middle of the stroke, and replenishes the electric electric vehicle 4 with electric energy at the replenishment location in the middle of the stroke. An operation process candidate including at least one of the above can be determined.

  The process candidate transmission unit 16 transmits information about the operation process candidate determined by the process candidate determination unit 15 to the user terminal 1.

Next, a procedure when the user uses the operation process proposal service provided by the operation process proposal system will be described.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display device of the user terminal 1. When the user accesses the operation process proposal service realized by the operation process proposal apparatus 10A using the user terminal 1 by using an Internet browser or the like, the input request information creation means 12 of the operation process proposal apparatus 10A. Creates input request information for requesting the user to input an input item including a departure point, a destination, and a target departure date and time from the departure point or a target arrival date and time at the destination. The input request information transmitting unit 13 transmits the input request information created by the input request information creating unit 12 to the user terminal 1. As a result, a screen as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the user terminal 1. On this screen, the departure point input field 5 for requesting the input of the departure point, the destination input field 6 for requesting the input of the destination, and the input of the target departure date / time from the departure point or the target arrival date / time to the destination are input. A requested target date and time input field 8 is displayed. In addition, in the present embodiment, a route point input field 7 for requesting a route point input, a break necessity input column 9 for requesting whether a break is necessary, and a search instruction button 23 are also displayed. ing.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2, the user inputs “home” in the departure place input field 5, enters “△△△ aquarium” in the destination entry field 6, and “2015 4” in the target date / time entry field 8. 1st month arrival at 12:00 ". As described above, since the user has registered as a member after entering an address or the like in the operation process proposal service provided in the operation process proposal system, even if the user inputs “home” The operation process proposal device 10A can specify an address or the like. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the input to the waypoint input field 7 is not essential, and therefore the input may not be performed.

When the user selects and inputs the search instruction button 23 after inputting each item, the input information is transmitted from the user terminal 1 to the operation process proposal device 10A via the information communication network 2.
Then, the response input acceptance unit 14 of the operation process proposal device 10 </ b> A accepts a response input for the input request information input by the user at the user terminal 1.

Next, the process candidate determination unit 15 of the operation process proposal device 10A stores the departure place, the destination, the target departure date / time from the departure place or the target arrival date / time to the destination, and the storage unit 11. Based on the current base information, vehicle information, supplement location information, and map information, the shared electric vehicle 4 is used to depart from the vehicle operation base 3 corresponding to the departure location, and then to the departure location. The operation process candidate of the shared electric vehicle 4 that can be returned to the vehicle operation base 3 to be operated is determined.
Then, the process candidate transmitting unit 16 of the operation process proposing device 10 </ b> A transmits the operation process candidate determined by the process candidate determining unit 15 to the user terminal 1.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display device of the user terminal 1. Specifically, FIG. 3 shows an example of operation process candidates determined by the process candidate determination unit 15. As shown in the figure, operation route candidates “route 1”, “route 2”, and “route 3” are displayed in a list. In FIG. 3, when the user selects “Route 1” on the user terminal 1, the characters “Route 1” are displayed in bold underlined. Further, in the map display field 20, operation route candidates, that is, routes, of “Route 1”, “Route 2”, and “Route 3” are displayed. When the re-search button 21 is selected and input, the re-search by the process candidate determination unit 15 is performed.

  As indicated by a broken line in the map display field 20 of FIG. 3, in the “route 1”, the process candidate determining means 15 has departed from the base A (vehicle operation base 3) corresponding to “home” as the departure place. A shared electric vehicle that arrives at the destination at the target arrival date “April 1, 2015 12:00” and then returns to the base A (vehicle operation base 3) corresponding to “home” as the departure point Four operation process candidates, that is, route candidates are determined. In this case, the base C (vehicle operation base 3) corresponds to the destination “ΔΔΔ aquarium”.

Further, in FIG. 3, “transfer” is displayed adjacent to the base C (vehicle operation base 3). This is because the process candidate determination means 15 is in the middle of the process of the base C (vehicle operation base 3). It has shown that the operation process candidate including exchanging the common electric vehicle 4 was determined.
The round trip distance between the departure point and the destination is limited to the travelable distance of one common electric vehicle 4 when the common electric vehicle 4 is not supplemented with the electric energy required for operation. Therefore, it is inevitably impossible to go to a destination far away from the departure place. However, in the present embodiment, the process candidate determination means 15 includes an operation process candidate including transferring a plurality of shared electric vehicles 4 operated at the plurality of vehicle operation bases 3 at the vehicle operation base 3 in the middle of the process. To decide. In other words, since the total travelable distance of the plurality of shared electric vehicles 4 is the movable distance, it is possible to go to a destination far from the departure point.

  In particular, in this example, the process candidate determination means 15 determines an operation process candidate including changing the shared electric vehicle 4 at the vehicle operation base 3 at the destination. Thus, when exchanging the shared electric vehicle 4 at the base C (vehicle operation base 3) at the destination, the shared electric vehicle 4 is returned when it arrives at the destination, and stays at the destination. A plurality of shared electric vehicles 4 can be used by the procedure of receiving the shared electric vehicle 4 (that is, exchanging the shared electric vehicle 4). That is, since the exchange of the shared electric vehicle 4 and the action at the destination can be performed at the same time, the time is more effective than when stopping at a specific vehicle operation base 3 only for the exchange of the shared electric vehicle 4. Can propose operational process candidates that can be used. In addition, when the charge required to use the shared electric vehicle 4 is determined by a usage-time usage system, the shared electric vehicle 4 is newly shared while acting at the destination, that is, after the shared electric vehicle 4 is returned. Until the electric vehicle 4 is received (that is, while staying at the destination), the usage fee of the shared electric vehicle 4 is not charged. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost required during the round trip between the departure place and the destination using the shared electric vehicle 4.

  More specifically, the process candidate determining means 15 in this case, from the base A (vehicle operation base 3) corresponding to the departure place to the base C (vehicle operation base 3 corresponding to “ΔΔΔ aquarium” as the destination. ), The time required for the shared electric vehicle 4 to travel is derived as 2 hours based on the distance between them that can be specified based on the map information and the reference traveling speed that can be specified based on the vehicle information. Accordingly, the target arrival date and time is “April 1, 2015 12:00” input by the user, so the departure date and time is “1 April 2015 10:00”. Further, the process candidate determination means 15 determines the stay time at “ΔΔΔ Aquarium” as the destination as a predetermined value of 2 hours 30 minutes. As a result, the process candidate determination means 15 (1) The user uses one shared electric vehicle 4 operated by the base A (vehicle operation base 3) from 10:00 on April 1, 2015 to 2015. Use until April 1st, 12:00 and return at the base C (vehicle operation base 3) (outward), and (2) the user operates the base C (vehicle operation base 3) The common electric vehicle 4 is used from 14:30 on April 1, 2015 to 16:30 on April 1, 2015, and is returned at the base A (vehicle operation base 3) (return trip) ).

In addition, in “Route 2” indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 3, operation process candidates via the base B (vehicle operation base 3) are proposed. Therefore, the user can know in advance that the shared electric vehicle 4 can be charged at the base B (vehicle operation base 3).
Furthermore, “route 3” indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3 proposes an operation process candidate that passes through a supplement location. This replenishment place is a charging place stored in the storage means 11 by the user himself / herself registering. Also in this case, the user can know in advance that the shared electric vehicle 4 can be charged at this charging place.

The route via the base B such as “Route 2” and the route via the replenishment location such as “Route 3” is a break for the user. As shown in FIG. 2, since the user has input that a break is not required, “Route 2” and “Route 3” are operation process candidates that do not meet the user's request. The proposal is made at a lower level than “Route 1”.
In addition, when a place is input in the waypoint input field 7 shown in FIG. 2, the process candidate determination unit 15 determines an operation process candidate that passes through the place.

  As described above, by using the shared electric vehicle 4 shared by a plurality of users, the shared electric vehicle 4 has restrictions on the usable time zone. The common electric vehicle which can return to the vehicle operation base 3 corresponding to the departure place through the destination after leaving the vehicle operation base 3 corresponding to the departure place while considering the available time zone 4 and the travelable distance 4 operational process candidates can be determined. In addition, the process candidate determination unit 15 replaces the shared electric vehicle 4 at the vehicle operation base 3 in the middle of the process, and replenishes the shared electric vehicle 4 with electric energy at the replenishment location in the process. An operation process candidate including at least one of the above can be determined. As a result, for the user who uses the user terminal 1, the starting point and the destination can be used by using the shared electric vehicle 4 in a state where the replacement or charging of the shared electric vehicle 4 can be included in the middle of the process. It is possible to present information on operational process candidates that can reliably make a round trip to and from. In addition, the user can use the user terminal 1 to contact information about the operation process candidate before departure. Therefore, it is possible to provide the operation plan proposing device 10 </ b> A capable of proposing information on the operation process of the shared electric vehicle 4 before departure to the user who plans to use the shared electric vehicle 4.

Also in FIG. 5, when the user selects “Route 1” on the user terminal 1, the characters “Route 1” are displayed in bold underlined.

  In addition, in this embodiment, a determination button 22 is also displayed. When the user selects and inputs this decision button 22, this is transmitted as a reservation application for the shared electric vehicle 4 to the operation process proposal device 10B. That is, in the operation process proposal device 10B, the selection input receiving unit 17 receives a user's selection input for one of the operation process candidates displayed as a list as shown in FIG. Determines that the use reservation of the shared electric vehicle 4 has been received in the use time zone of the shared electric vehicle 4 that can be specified by the information about the operation process candidate received by the selection input receiving means 17. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 5, as described as a specific example in the first embodiment, the selection input receiving means 17 is (1) operated by the user at the base A (vehicle operation base 3). A reservation to use one shared electric vehicle 4 from 10:00 on April 1, 2015 to 12:00 on April 1, 2015 and return it at the base C (vehicle operation base 3), and ( 2) The user uses one shared electric vehicle 4 operated by the base C (vehicle operation base 3) from 14:30 on April 1, 2015 to 16:30 on April 1, 2015. Then, it is determined that the reservation to be returned at the base A (vehicle operation base 3) has been accepted.

Then, in the operation process proposal device 10B, the information about the reservation is stored in the storage means 11, and the available time zone for the shared electric vehicle 4 operated in each vehicle operation base 3 (that is, the use reservation is made). Rewrite information about (time zone not included).
Thereby, the reservation application of the shared electric vehicle 4 is completed. Note that the user accesses the operation process proposal device 10B using the user terminal 1 so that “10:00 to 12:00” and “14:30 to 16:30” described above are used. The use reservation time of the shared electric vehicle 4 can also be changed.

  In addition, when the process of charging at the base B (vehicle operation base 3) is selected as in “Route 2” described above, the use reservation accepting means 18 also accepts the reservation of the charging facility at the base B. decide. Note that the use reservation accepting means 18 does not make a reservation for a non-public charging place stored in the storage means 11 by the user himself / herself, such as the charging place of “Route 3”.
