Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle-mounted device that records the operation state of a vehicle.

  When managing operation data of a truck vehicle or the like, usually, the vehicle-mounted device attached to the vehicle is in a leaving state, and after loading the vehicle, the driver operates the vehicle-mounted device to switch the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle. Thereby, onboard equipment records a loading state as a real vehicle state. Since the actual vehicle state is stored in the internal memory of the vehicle-mounted device, the state is maintained. In the operation in which the loaded state is the actual vehicle state, the crew member performs an operation of switching the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle after loading, so that the empty vehicle state is not erroneously recorded.

  On the other hand, there are users (operators, etc.) who operate the delivery state as the actual vehicle state. In this case, for example, the crew member performs an operation of switching to the actual vehicle state when leaving the vehicle. The fact that the loaded state is switched to the actual vehicle state is stored in the internal memory of the vehicle-mounted device. In the case of operation in which the leaving state is the actual vehicle state in this way, the user always wants the vehicle-mounted device to be in the actual vehicle state after leaving.

  As a prior art, there is known an operation recording device that starts a data recording and collecting operation when it is detected that a vehicle has traveled a predetermined distance without a driver performing a leaving operation (see Patent Document 1). Therefore, it is assumed that the vehicle-mounted device can be set to automatically switch from the empty state to the actual vehicle state when the predetermined condition is satisfied by using such prior art.

JP-A-6-331393

  However, even if the actual vehicle state is stored in the internal memory of the vehicle-mounted device, when the vehicle-mounted device program or the setting file is loaded into the vehicle-mounted device, the internal memory of the vehicle-mounted device is initialized and becomes an empty vehicle state. Moreover, since the setting which makes a leaving state into an actual vehicle state is cancelled | released, if switching operation by a crew member is not performed at the time of the next leaving, an onboard equipment will remain in an empty state. For this reason, when the crew member does not notice that the loading has occurred and forgets the switching operation, not the actual vehicle state but the empty vehicle state is recorded as the operation data. As a result, there is a problem that the operation data in the actual vehicle state is not correctly reflected in the daily driving report, and the convenience may be reduced.

  In addition, although patent document 1 shows the operation recording apparatus which starts a specific operation | movement automatically even if a driver | operator does not operate, about the setting of the loading state (actual vehicle state, empty vehicle state) of a vehicle Nothing is shown.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an on-board device that allows a user to select an operation related to switching of a set operation state and can improve convenience. It is in.

  The CPU 11 comprehensively controls each part of the digital tachograph 10. The nonvolatile memory 25 stores an in-vehicle device program executed by the CPU 11. In addition, the nonvolatile memory 25 stores the upgraded in-vehicle device program and the setting file 50 (see FIG. 2) transmitted from the office PC 30. Moreover, the non-volatile memory 25 memorize | stores the driving | running state (status) including the loading state of a vehicle. The loaded state represents either a state in which a load is loaded on the vehicle or a state in which no load is loaded. The status of the vehicle is an actual vehicle state or an empty vehicle state. The vehicle status stored in the nonvolatile memory 25 is switched to an empty vehicle state or an actual vehicle state by an empty vehicle / actual vehicle switching button 22z described later.

  In addition, the status of the vehicle at the time of warehousing is stored in the memory area 25z of the nonvolatile memory 25. The memory area 25z is an area where data is not erased (initialized) even when the vehicle-mounted device program and the setting file 50 are loaded. The non-volatile memory 25 stores an automatic vehicle flag f1 at the time of delivery and an initialization flag f2 at the time of delivery. The unloading automatic actual vehicle flag f1 is a flag for automatically setting the vehicle status to the actual vehicle state when the unloading operation is performed, and the unloading automatic actual vehicle setting is performed with the value 1 (on). When set to 0 (off), automatic vehicle setting is not performed when leaving. The unloading initialization flag f2 is a flag for setting the vehicle status to initialization (empty state) when the unloading automatic actual vehicle setting is not performed, and the unloading initialization setting is set to a value 1 (on). The value is 0 (off) and the initialization setting at the time of delivery is not performed. Note that the nonvolatile memory 25 retains data even when the ignition key is turned off and battery power is not supplied.

The vehicle speed sensor 51 may be provided as an option in the digital tachograph 10 or may be provided as a device different from the digital tachograph 10. A rotation pulse from an engine rotation speed sensor (not shown) is input to the engine rotation I / F 12B. An external device (not shown) is connected to the external input I / F 13.

  The sensor input I / F 14 is connected to an acceleration sensor (G sensor) 28 that detects acceleration (G value) (senses an impact), and receives a signal from the G sensor 28. Signals such as a temperature sensor (not shown) for detecting the engine temperature (cooling water temperature) and a fuel amount sensor (not shown) for detecting the fuel amount are input to the analog input I / F 29. CPU11 detects various driving | running states based on the information input via these I / F.

  The GPS receiver 15 is connected to the GPS antenna 15a, receives a signal transmitted from a GPS satellite, and acquires current position information (GPS information). The operation input I / F 16 is connected to a handy key (H / T) 23 that can be input (pressed) by the crew. Various buttons such as a delivery button are arranged on the handy key 23.

  When the communication unit 24 performs wide area communication and is connected to the wireless base station 8 via a mobile network (mobile communication network), the communication unit 24 communicates with the office PC 30 via the network 70 such as the Internet connected to the wireless base station 8. Communicate. The power supply unit 21 supplies power to each unit of the digital tachograph 10 when the ignition switch is turned on.

  On the other hand, the office PC 30 is a PC that operates on a general-purpose operating system. The office PC 30 functions as an operation management device (external device), and includes a CPU 31, a communication unit 32, a display unit 33, a storage unit 34, a card I / F 35, an operation unit 36, an output unit 37, a voice I / F 38, and an external I / O. / F48.

  The CPU 31 comprehensively controls each unit of the office PC 30. The communication unit 32 can communicate with the digital tachograph 10 via the network 70.

  The display unit 33 displays an operation management screen, an operation daily report (see FIG. 7) screen, and the like. The storage unit 34 stores an operation management program for managing the operation status based on the data measured by the digital tachograph 10.

The output unit 37 outputs various data. A microphone 41 and a speaker 42 are connected to the audio I / F 38. The administrator can also make a voice call using the microphone 41 and the speaker 42. An external storage device (not shown) or the like can be connected to the external I / F 48.

  FIG. 2 is a table showing the registered contents of the setting file 50. The setting file 50 includes various setting items related to the digital tachograph 10. Specifically, the setting file 50 includes, for example, a vehicle number (No.), crew identification information (ID), presence / absence of automatic vehicle setting at the time of delivery (ON / OFF), presence / absence of initialization setting at shipment (ON / OFF). OFF) and the like are included.

  Vehicle No. Is an automobile registration number stipulated by law. In addition, vehicle No. In addition to the automobile registration number, a number assigned by the establishment for each vehicle may be used. The crew ID is information for identifying the crew. The automatic vehicle setting at the time of delivery is a function for automatically setting the vehicle status to the actual vehicle state at the time of delivery. The unloading initialization setting is a function that initializes the vehicle status stored in the memory area 25z at the time of unloading and unloading (here, set to an empty state).

  Operation | movement of the operation management system 5 which has the said structure is shown. First, the operation of the digital tachograph 10 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a status (operation state) management procedure by the digital tachograph 10. First, the CPU 11 of the digital tachograph 10 stands by until a shipping operation is performed (S1).

  Here, the exit operation is determined by the crew member pressing the exit button 22x of the SW input unit 22 or the exit button of the handy key 23. In addition, the communication unit 24 of the digital tachograph 10 may be determined as an exit operation by communicating with a wireless communication device such as an access point installed at a gate that passes at the time of exit. In addition, when it is determined that the operation is a shipment operation upon completion of loading on a truck vehicle, for example, a crew member instructs a handy terminal connected to a digital tachograph to be able to communicate and manage the completion of loading. Thus, the digital tachograph may be determined as a shipping operation. In addition, a sensor that detects that the luggage door of the truck vehicle is locked may be connected to the digital tachograph, and when the digital tachograph detects that the sensor is turned on, it may be determined that the operation is a delivery operation.

  When the exit operation is performed, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the exit actual vehicle flag f1 is set to a value 1, that is, whether or not the exit actual vehicle setting is on (ON) (S2). . When the unloading automatic actual vehicle setting is ON, the CPU 11 sets the vehicle status to the actual vehicle state and stores it in the nonvolatile memory 25 (S3). At this time, the CPU 11 holds the status at the time of warehousing stored in the memory area 25z of the nonvolatile memory 25 as it is. Here, the status at the time of warehousing is rewritten when warehousing again without being used.

  The CPU 11 uses the communication unit 24 to transmit a status command indicating the actual vehicle state at the time of delivery to the office PC 30 via the network 70 such as a mobile communication network and an Internet communication network (S4). Thereafter, the CPU 11 ends this operation.

  On the other hand, if the automatic vehicle setting at the time of delivery is OFF (OFF) in step S2, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the initialization flag f2 at the time of delivery is set to a value 1, that is, the initialization setting at the time of delivery is ON. Is determined (S5). When the delivery initialization setting is on, the CPU 11 sets the vehicle status to an empty state and stores it in the nonvolatile memory 25 (S6). At this time, the CPU 11 erases the status at the time of warehousing stored in the memory area 25z of the nonvolatile memory 25.

  CPU11 transmits the status command which shows an empty vehicle state at the time of delivery with respect to office PC30 via the network 70 by the communication part 24 (S7). Thereafter, the CPU 11 ends this operation.

  On the other hand, if the initialization setting at delivery is OFF in step S5, the CPU 11 sets the status of the vehicle to the status at the previous entry and stores it in the nonvolatile memory 25 (S8). In addition, the status (actual vehicle state or empty vehicle state) at the time of the previous storage is stored in the memory area 25z of the nonvolatile memory 25. Further, as described above, the memory area 25z of the nonvolatile memory 25 in which the status at the time of warehousing is stored is an area where data is not erased even when the on-vehicle device program or the setting file is loaded. The nonvolatile memory 25 is a memory that retains data even when the ignition key is turned off and battery power is not supplied. Therefore, the status at the time of the previous warehousing is securely held in the memory area 25z of the nonvolatile memory 25.

  CPU11 transmits the status command showing the driving | running state (actual vehicle state or empty state) of the vehicle at the time of the last warehousing at the time of delivery to office PC30 by the communication part 24 via the network 70 (S9). Thereafter, the CPU 11 ends this operation.

  In steps S4, S7, and S9, the CPU 11 records the status command together on the memory card 65 via the card I / F 18. Thereby, when communication with the office PC is impossible, the office PC 30 can read the status of the vehicle by causing the office PC 30 to read the status command recorded in the memory card 65, which will be described later. This can be reflected in the daily driving report 100. In steps S4, S7, and S9, the CPU 11 may display the vehicle status (empty state or actual vehicle state) on the display unit 27. Thereby, the crew can visually check the status of the vehicle stored in the digital tachograph 10.

  In this case, the digital tachograph sends the vehicle status to the office PC as a trigger when the exit operation is performed, but after the arrival, the crew member uses the memory card after the entry, regardless of the communication state. Data including the vehicle status (empty state or actual vehicle state) may be read into the office PC. This data may include operation data such as the position of the vehicle and the vehicle speed, as well as the status during the delivery. The digital tachograph may transfer the data to the office PC by wireless LAN communication via an access point installed near the gate without using a memory card.

  The above process is a process at the time of delivery. When the vehicle enters, when the crew member presses the entry button 22y of the digital tachograph 10, the CPU 11 displays the status at the time of entry (actual vehicle state or empty vehicle state) in the nonvolatile memory 25. Is stored in the memory area 25z. Thereby, the memory area 25z of the non-volatile memory 25 holds the status at the time of the previous entry. The warehousing operation is not limited to pressing the warehousing button 22y by the crew member, but may be performed by the digital tachograph 10 receiving a signal from an access point installed near the gate. At this time, the access point may notify the office PC 30 that the vehicle has entered.

  Next, the loading process will be described. Here, the case where the digital tachograph 10 loads the updated setting file 50 is shown, but the present invention is similarly applicable not only to the setting file but also to the case where the on-vehicle device program is loaded. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the loading of the setting file 50 is performed during warehousing, but may be performed during warehousing.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the loading processing procedure. This process is executed, for example, when the digital tachograph 10 receives data (including a setting file and an in-vehicle device program) related to various digital tachograph controls from the office PC 30.

  The CPU 11 of the digital tachograph 10 determines whether or not the setting file 50 is included in the received data, that is, whether or not the setting file 50 has been received from the office PC 30 (S21). If the setting file 50 has not been received, the CPU 11 ends this operation.

  When the setting file 50 is received, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the setting file 50 is for the own vehicle (own apparatus) (S22). The association between the host vehicle and the setting file 50 is performed based on whether or not the vehicle number registered in the setting file 50 matches the vehicle number of the host vehicle.

  Note that the digital tachograph 10 stores its own device ID, and may be linked depending on whether or not this own device ID matches the vehicle-mounted device ID registered in the setting file 50. Further, when ON / OFF of the specific vehicle is registered in the setting file 50 and the own vehicle corresponds to ON of the specific vehicle, as a next step, the association between the vehicle and the setting file described above may be confirmed. . By enabling ON / OFF of a specific vehicle, for example, it is useful when it is desired to change the setting for each company or department of a customer company or for each vehicle.

  When it is the setting file 50 for the own vehicle in step S22, the CPU 11 acquires the setting file 50 and performs a status setting change process at the time of delivery (S23). This exit status setting change process will be described later. Thereafter, the CPU 11 ends this operation.

  On the other hand, if it is not the setting file 50 for the host vehicle in step S22, the CPU 11 discards the received setting file 50 (step S24). Thereafter, the CPU 11 ends this operation.

  Here, after receiving the setting file, the digital tachograph determines whether or not the setting file is for the device itself. However, it may be determined before the setting file is received. Thereby, when it is not for the own vehicle (device), useless data communication can be omitted by not loading.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the procedure for changing the status setting at the time of delivery in step S23. CPU11 discriminate | determines whether the automatic vehicle setting at the time of delivery contained in the setting file 50 is ON (ON) (S31). When the unloading automatic actual vehicle setting is ON, the CPU 11 sets the unloading automatic actual vehicle flag f1 stored in the nonvolatile memory 25 to a value 1 (S32). When the unloading automatic actual vehicle flag f1 is 1, that is, when the unloading automatic actual vehicle setting is ON, the CPU 11 switches the status to the actual vehicle state when the unloading operation is performed. The unloading automatic actual vehicle flag f1 is stored in the non-volatile memory 25, and is therefore retained even when the vehicle battery power is turned off. Thereafter, the CPU 11 ends this operation.

  On the other hand, when the automatic vehicle setting at the time of delivery is off (OFF) in step S31, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the initialization setting at the time of delivery included in the setting file 50 is on (ON) (S33). . When the delivery initialization setting is ON, the CPU 11 sets the delivery initialization flag f2 stored in the nonvolatile memory 25 to a value 1 (S34). If the exit initialization flag f2 is a value 1, that is, the exit initialization setting is on, the CPU 11 switches the status to an empty state when the exit operation is performed. In addition, since the shipping-time initialization flag f2 is stored in the nonvolatile memory 25, it is retained even when the battery power of the vehicle is turned off. Thereafter, the CPU 11 ends this operation.

  Next, the operation of the office PC 30 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation management procedure by the office PC 30. This process is executed by the CPU 31 in the office PC 30. The CPU 31 determines whether data is received from the digital tachograph 10 (S51). Here, a case is shown in which data is transmitted from a digital tachograph by wireless communication, but as described above, data recorded in a memory card may be read. Further, when the vehicle is stored, the CPU 31 may receive data by transferring data to the office PC by wireless LAN communication by an access point installed near the gate.

  When the data received from the digital tachograph 10 includes a status command at the time of delivery, the CPU 31 acquires the status command at the time of delivery (S52). CPU31 memorize | stores the status command at the time of delivery in the memory | storage part 34 with the other operation data acquired from the digital tachograph 10 (S53). In step S53, the CPU 31 displays the operation data, the state of delivery / reception, and the status at the time of delivery (actual vehicle state or empty vehicle state) on the display unit 33 in real time. The operation data includes vehicle position information, travel distance, travel time, vehicle speed, time information, and the like.

  Then, the CPU 31 creates the daily driving report 100 based on the data stored in the storage unit 34 in accordance with the operation by the administrator of the office PC 30 (S54). Thereafter, the CPU 31 ends this operation. Note that the process of step S54 is executed as a separate routine, and may be omitted here.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a daily driving report 100. In the daily driving report 100, in addition to operation data such as an operation date, a travel distance, and a travel time, the vehicle No. , Crew ID, actual vehicle distance, actual vehicle rate, status from delivery to entry, etc. are written. The daily driving report 100 includes ON / OFF of automatic actual vehicle setting at the time of delivery, ON / OFF of initialization setting at the time of delivery, and ON / OFF of specific vehicle settings.

  In the daily driving report 100, since the setting of the specific vehicle is ON, the digital tachograph 10 records operation data. For example, when the crew member notifies the digital tachograph 10 of the completion of loading at the handy terminal, this shipping operation is referred to as operation No. in the daily operation report 100. Recorded as shown in FIG. The crew members leave the truck and leave the gate of the distribution center to start the collection and delivery work. Thereafter, when the truck vehicle returns to the distribution center, stops the truck vehicle, and the crew member presses the warehousing button 22y of the digital tachograph 10, this warehousing operation is performed as work No. Recorded as shown in 2. In this case, the work time is recorded as 3 hours and 33 minutes, and the travel distance is 30 km. The status during delivery is recorded as an actual vehicle. Here, since the automatic vehicle setting at the time of delivery is ON, the status is switched to the actual vehicle at the same time as the delivery. The status is stored in the memory area 25z of the nonvolatile memory 25 by pressing the warehousing button 22y.

  Similarly, when the delivery work is started again, when the crew member notifies the digital tachograph 10 of the completion of loading at the handy terminal, this delivery work is indicated as work No. in the daily operation report 100. Recorded as shown in FIG. The crew members leave the truck and leave the gate of the distribution center to start the collection and delivery work. Thereafter, when the truck vehicle returns to the distribution center, stops the truck vehicle, and the crew member presses the warehousing button 22y of the digital tachograph 10, this warehousing operation is performed as work No. Recorded as shown in FIG. This working time is recorded as 1 hour 5 minutes and the travel distance is 10 km. The status during delivery is recorded as an actual vehicle. In addition, the daily driving report 100 describes that the actual vehicle rate is 80%, which represents the ratio of the actual vehicle distance (40 km) that has traveled with a load that leads to income out of the total travel distance (50 km).

  In this way, the daily driving report 100 states that when the car is released, the status automatically switches to the actual vehicle, so that an operation mistake by the crew (for example, forgetting to press the outgoing button) is recorded in the driving daily report with the vehicle empty. (Recording errors) can be prevented. Therefore, the manager does not have to correct the daily driving report due to an input error by the crew. Conventionally, when there is an input error, depending on the location, it may take time for the operation manager to find the error, or it may take time to correct, but such labor is eliminated. As a result, erroneous daily reports due to omissions in correction of input mistakes and tabulation of actual vehicle rates and the like are eliminated. In addition, the daily working report makes it possible for the crew's working status to be accurate, and the crew can receive a legitimate evaluation.

<Advantages of digital tachograph 10>
As described above, the digital tachograph 10 according to the present embodiment is mounted on a vehicle and records an operation state including a loading state of the vehicle. The loaded state is a state in which a load is loaded on the vehicle. The CPU 11 of the digital tachograph 10 detects the exit and entry of the vehicle by pressing the exit button 22x, the entry button 22y, completion of loading by the handy terminal, etc. (entrance / entrance detection means). The CPU 11 performs steps S3, S6, and S8, and switches the loading state between the actual vehicle state and the empty vehicle state (switching means). The CPU 11 sets whether or not the loading state is switched to the actual vehicle state when the shipment is detected by setting the automatic vehicle flag f1 at the time of delivery to the value 1 or resetting it to the value 0 (first setting means). To do.

  In this way, if it is set to switch to the actual vehicle state at the time of delivery, it will automatically enter the actual vehicle state when the vehicle is delivered, so the user who wants to operate in the actual vehicle state at the time of delivery will be The operation state can be switched to the actual vehicle state without manual operation. That is, in the case of operation in which the leaving state is the actual vehicle state, the operation state can be switched to the actual vehicle state without manual operation at the time of leaving. Therefore, it is possible to prevent recording in an empty state due to an operation error by the crew.

  Further, the CPU 11 of the digital tachograph 10 stores the setting of the loading state in the memory area 25z (storage means) of the nonvolatile memory 25 when entry is detected. The data stored in the memory area 25z is not erased when the on-vehicle device program or the setting file 50 is loaded (data on the control of the on-vehicle device is input). Whether or not the CPU 11 initializes the loading state stored in the memory area 25z to an empty state by setting the shipping initialization flag f2 to a value 1 or resetting it to a value 0 (second setting means). Set. If the loading state is detected, the CPU 11 is not set to switch the loading state to the actual vehicle state, and if it is set not to initialize the loading state, the CPU 11 sets the loading state. The loaded state stored in the memory area 25z is set.

  As a result, it is possible to always set the empty state when leaving the vehicle, and it is also possible to set the operation state (actual vehicle state or empty state) at the time of the previous storage stored in the memory area 25z, The same operation as before can be secured.

  In addition, the digital tachograph 10 includes a communication unit 24 (communication device) that wirelessly transmits an operation state to an office PC 30 (external device) installed outside the vehicle. When at least the loading state is switched, the communication unit 24 performs the processes of steps S4, S7, and S9, and transmits the loading state to the office PC 30.

  Thereby, office PC can acquire a driving | running state (an actual vehicle state or an empty vehicle state) from a digital tachograph, and in the office PC30, that the driving | running state of the vehicle carrying the said digital tachograph 10 switched. It is possible to immediately grasp or correctly create a daily driving report reflecting actual vehicle conditions and empty vehicle conditions.

  The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. The above-described embodiments can be accompanied by various modifications and improvements within the technical scope of the present invention.
