  In each embodiment, a user boarding the vehicle 50 borrows a parking lot (not shown) in units of several hours or one day and parks the vehicle 50 in this parking lot. Then, the business operator settles the parking fee and collects it from the user. In addition, the parking lot may be in a form where the operator lends itself and settles the fee, or an individual who owns the parking lot lends the parking lot, and the operator pays the fee on behalf .

  Detailed descriptions of the functional blocks provided in the in-vehicle device 10, the mobile terminal 20, and the server device 30 will be described later with reference to FIGS.

The network 40 is realized by a network such as the Internet or a mobile phone network, or a network combining these.
The vehicle 50 is a vehicle on which the users of the in-vehicle device 10 and the mobile terminal 20 are boarded, and is realized by, for example, an automobile, a motorcycle, a bicycle, or the like.

Next, an outline of processing in each embodiment will be described.

In addition, communication is performed between the mobile terminal 20 and the server device 30 via the network network 40 in accordance with the second communication method. Here, the first communication method is a non-contact near field communication based on a standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or NFC (Near Field Communication) (registered trademark), or wired via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable or the like. This is short-range communication by or a combination of these. On the other hand, the second communication method may be any communication method and is not particularly limited.

  And in each embodiment, while the short-distance communication by the 1st communication method is continuing between the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10 and the portable terminal 20, the portable terminal 20 is a short distance which can perform short-range communication with the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10, ie, It is assumed that the vehicle 50 is in the vehicle. That is, while the communication using the first communication method is continued between the in-vehicle device 10 and the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 is considered to be moving together with the user and the vehicle 50. And the position of the portable terminal 20 which the portable terminal 20 measured while the communication by the 1st communication system is continuing between the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10 and the portable terminal 20 moves to the position which does not correspond with a parking lot from the position which coincides with a parking lot. If it is determined, the vehicle 50 is determined to have left. If it is determined that the car has been issued, the parking lot lending is terminated when the car has been issued, so a process for paying a charge associated with the lending is performed.

[First Embodiment]
Next, the first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the in-vehicle device 10 a according to the present embodiment includes a control unit 11, a first communication unit 12, and a positioning unit 13.

  The control part 11 is a part for controlling the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10a whole. For example, the control unit 11 controls the arithmetic processing device such as the CPU 110, the storage device such as the ROM 120, the RAM 130, and the storage unit 180, and the hardware such as the bus 140 and the input / output interface 150 described with reference to FIG. This is realized by hardware such as a signal line for inputting / outputting the above signal. In this case, the CPU 110 executes arithmetic processing while developing the program read from the ROM 120 or the storage unit 180 in the RAM 130, and controls each hardware in the in-vehicle device 10a based on the result of the arithmetic processing. Thus, in this embodiment, control in the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10a is implement | achieved by a hardware and software (namely, program) cooperating.

Further, the navigation unit 111 is realized by the control of the control unit 11. The navigation unit 111 is a part that performs navigation processing that is route guidance to the destination selected by the user. Here, the navigation processing by the navigation unit 111 is not unique to the present embodiment, and is equivalent to the navigation processing in a general car navigation device. Specifically, the navigation unit 111 generates a map to a destination based on map information stored inside or outside the control unit 11, and is mounted on the vehicle by the positioning unit 13 described later on this map. The current position of the device 10a, the position of the destination, and the route information to the destination are arranged and output to the user. The output is realized by, for example, displaying an image on a display (not shown) or outputting sound from a speaker (not shown).
Note that the navigation processing by the navigation unit 111 is not unique to the present embodiment, and is well known to those skilled in the art, and thus further detailed description is omitted.

  Moreover, the 1st communication part 12 is a part for the control part 11 to communicate with the portable terminal 20a by a 1st communication system. The first communication unit 12 is realized, for example, by the communication unit 190 described with reference to FIG. More specifically, it is realized by an antenna or a control module for performing communication in accordance with a first communication method such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). In the present embodiment, as described above, in order to consider that the mobile terminal 20a is located in the vehicle 50, when communication using the first communication method is possible between the in-vehicle device 10a and the mobile terminal 20a. Continues communication using the first communication method between the in-vehicle device 10a and the mobile terminal 20a.

  For example, consider a case where the user carries the mobile terminal 20a and gets on the vehicle 50. In this case, the user turns on the ignition switch of the vehicle 50 in order to drive the vehicle 50. As a result, the engine of the vehicle 50 is started, and supply of power to the in-vehicle device 10a is started. Then, the in-vehicle device 10a starts the activation process, and the navigation unit 111 functions and the first communication unit 12 and the positioning unit 13 are operable. Then, communication according to the first communication method is started between the first communication unit 12 and the first communication unit 22 included in the mobile terminal 20a. For example, if the first communication method is Bluetooth (registered trademark), after the pairing for establishing the communication connection between the first communication unit 12 and the portable terminal 20a is performed, communication by the first communication method is performed. Be started.

  Thereafter, the communication continues, but when the user arrives at the destination, the vehicle 50 is stopped and the ignition switch of the vehicle 50 is turned off. As a result, the engine of the vehicle 50 is stopped, and the supply of power to the in-vehicle device 10a is also terminated. Then, the in-vehicle device 10a starts a stop process, the function of the navigation unit 111 stops, and the first communication unit 12 and the positioning unit 13 become inoperable. Then, the communication by the first communication method is terminated between the first communication unit 12 and the first communication unit 22 included in the mobile terminal 20a. For example, if the first communication method is Bluetooth (registered trademark), the communication according to the first communication method, in which the pairing between the first communication unit 12 and the mobile terminal 20a is released, is terminated. In addition, although communication by this 1st communication system may be performed only in order to consider that the portable terminal 20a is located in the vehicle 50, it is performed by the use which transmits / receives information by another use. Also good.

  The positioning unit 13 is a part for measuring the position of the in-vehicle device 10a. The positioning unit 13 is realized by, for example, the positioning unit 200 described with reference to FIG. More specifically, it is realized by a module compliant with GPS, an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or the like. The positioning unit 13 receives, for example, a signal from a GPS satellite, and generates “position information” that is information indicating the position of the in-vehicle device 10a by measuring the position of the in-vehicle device 10a based on the received signal. This position information includes positioning time information that is the time when the position of the in-vehicle device 10a is measured. In addition, the positioning of the position by the in-vehicle device 10a is performed at a predetermined interval (for example, once every several seconds). The positioning unit 13 may further improve the positioning accuracy by correcting the positioning position by GPS based on the acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor and the angular velocity measured by the gyro sensor.

  In the above, each part with which the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10a is provided was demonstrated. Each part demonstrated above is a part relevant to description of this embodiment, and the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10a contains the part other than having mentioned above. For example, a part realized by the input unit 160 and the output unit 170 described with reference to FIG. 2 is included. More specifically, it includes a display unit such as a liquid crystal display or an organic electroluminescence panel for displaying an image in navigation processing, and an operation reception unit such as a button or a touch panel for receiving a user operation.

  The in-vehicle device 10a may be a device used in the vehicle 50, and is not necessarily a navigation device. For example, an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that controls each part of the vehicle 50 may be used. In this case, you may make it abbreviate | omit the navigation part 111 and the positioning part 13 from the vehicle equipment 10a.

  Next, the portable terminal 20a will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile terminal 20 a in this embodiment includes a control unit 21, a first communication unit 22, a second communication unit 23, and a positioning unit 24.

  The control unit 21 is a part for controlling the entire mobile terminal 20a. The control unit 21 is similar to the control unit 11 described above, for example, an arithmetic processing device such as the CPU 110, a storage device such as the ROM 120, the RAM 130, and the storage unit 180, the bus 140, and the input / output interface described with reference to FIG. This is realized by hardware such as signal lines for inputting / outputting signals for controlling each hardware such as 150. In the control unit 21, since the hardware and software (that is, the program) cooperate with each other, it is the same as the control unit 11 described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Further, the communication continuation determination unit 211 and the position information acquisition unit 212 are realized by the control of the control unit 21.
The communication continuation determination unit 211 is a part that determines whether or not communication by the first communication method is continued between the first communication unit 12 and the first communication unit 22 included in the in-vehicle device 10a. The communication continuation determination unit 211 monitors the communication status by the first communication unit 22, and the first communication unit 22 continues to communicate with the first communication unit 12 included in the in-vehicle device 10a according to the first communication method. It is determined whether or not. If the communication continuation determination unit 211 determines that communication using the first communication method is continuing, a signal indicating that communication using the first communication method is continuing is sent to the position information acquisition unit 212. Output.

  While the signal indicating that communication by the first communication method is being continued from the communication continuation determination unit 211, the position information acquisition unit 212 receives the position information generated by the positioning unit 24 described later by positioning. get. Then, the position information acquisition unit 212 transmits the acquired position information to the server device 30a by the second communication unit 23 via the network 40 by the second communication method. In this case, the position information acquisition unit 212 adds the information indicating that communication by the first communication method is ongoing to the transmitted position information and transmits the position information. For example, the value of a flag indicating that the communication by the first communication method is continuing is set to 1, and is transmitted to the position information. The transmission may be performed in real time each time the position information is generated by positioning performed by the positioning unit 24 at a predetermined interval, or may be performed after transmitting a plurality of position information.

  The 1st communication part 22 is a part for the control part 21 to communicate with the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10a by a 1st communication system. The 1st communication part 22 is implement | achieved by the communication part 190 demonstrated with reference to FIG. 2, for example similarly to the 1st communication part 12 with which the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10a is provided. More specifically, it is realized by an antenna or a control module for performing communication in accordance with a first communication method such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The start and end of communication in the first communication method between the first communication unit 22 and the first communication unit 12 included in the in-vehicle device 10a are described above as the description of the first communication unit 12 included in the in-vehicle device 10a. Therefore, the description thereof is omitted.

  The 2nd communication part 23 is a part for the control part 21 to communicate with the server apparatus 30a by a 2nd communication system. Similarly to the first communication unit 22, the second communication unit 23 is realized by the communication unit 190 described with reference to FIG. More specifically, it is realized by an antenna or a control module for performing communication with the server device 30a via an access point or relay device included in the network 40 in accordance with the second communication method. For example, as described above, the second communication unit 23 is used by the position information acquisition unit 212 of the control unit 21 to transmit the position information to the server device 30a.

  The positioning unit 24 is a part for measuring the position of the mobile terminal 20a. The positioning unit 24 is realized by, for example, the positioning unit 200 described with reference to FIG. More specifically, similarly to the positioning unit 13 included in the in-vehicle device 10a, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) compliant module, an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, and the like are configured. Since the positioning method by the positioning unit 24 is the same as that of the positioning unit 13 included in the above-described in-vehicle device 10a, the description thereof is omitted.

  Note that the positioning by the positioning unit 24 is performed at a predetermined interval (for example, once every few seconds) similarly to the positioning unit 13. However, for the purpose of reducing power consumption in the mobile terminal 20a, positioning may be performed only while the communication continuation determination unit 211 determines that communication using the first communication method is ongoing. That is, the positioning may not be performed while the communication by the first communication method is not continued and the position information acquisition unit 212 does not acquire and transmit the position information.

  In the above, each part with which the portable terminal 20a is provided was demonstrated. Each part demonstrated above is a part relevant to description of this embodiment, and the portable terminal 20a contains the part other than having mentioned above. For example, it includes a portion realized by the input unit 160 and the output unit 170 described with reference to FIG. More specifically, it includes a display unit such as a liquid crystal display or an organic electroluminescence panel for displaying an image, and an operation reception unit such as a button or a touch panel for receiving a user operation.

  The portable terminal 20a can be realized by a portable electronic device such as a smartphone, a feature phone, or a tablet-type or notebook-type personal computer.

  Next, the server device 30a will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the server device 30 a in this embodiment includes a control unit 31 and a second communication unit 32.

  The control unit 31 is a part for controlling the entire server device 30a. The control unit 31 is similar to the control unit 11 and the control unit 21 described above, for example, an arithmetic processing device such as the CPU 110, a storage device such as the ROM 120, the RAM 130, and the storage unit 180 described with reference to FIG. And hardware such as signal lines for inputting / outputting signals for controlling each hardware such as the input / output interface 150. In the control unit 31, the hardware and software (that is, the program) cooperate with each other in the same manner as the control unit 11 and the control unit 21 described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Further, the control of the control unit 31 realizes a communication continuation determination unit 311, a position information acquisition unit 312, an exit determination unit 313 and a settlement processing unit 314.
The communication continuation determination unit 311 is a part that determines whether or not communication using the first communication method is continued between the positioning units 13 and 33 included in the in-vehicle device 10a. Therefore, the communication continuation determination unit 311 receives the position information transmitted by the position information acquisition unit 212 included in the mobile terminal 20a. And it is confirmed whether the information which shows that communication by a 1st communication system is continuing is added to the received positional information. For example, it is confirmed whether or not the flag value indicating that the communication by the first communication method is continuing is set to 1 in the position information.

  If the communication continuation determination unit 311 confirms that information indicating that communication using the first communication method is ongoing is added to the received position information, communication using the first communication method is performed. It is determined that it is continuing. If the communication continuation determination unit 311 determines that communication using the first communication method is continuing, the communication continuation determination unit 311 outputs a signal indicating that communication using the first communication method is continuing to the position information acquisition unit 312. To do.

  The position information acquisition unit 312 receives the signal indicating that the communication by the first communication method is continuing from the communication continuation determination unit 311, and the communication continuation determination unit 311 determines the first The position information measured while the communication by the one communication method is continued is acquired. Then, the position information acquisition unit 312 outputs the acquired position information to the leaving determination unit 313.

The exit determination unit 313 acquires position information determined from the communication continuation determination unit 311 as position information measured while communication using the first communication method is continued. And the leaving determination part 313 determines whether the vehicle 50 left the parking lot based on the acquired positional information. For the determination, the exit determination unit 313 specifies the position of the parking lot based on the position information of the parking lot.
Here, the parking lot is a parking lot that is managed by a company that uses the server device 30 a and is lent to the user of the vehicle 50. The parking lot position information may be stored in the exit determination unit 313 or may be acquired from an external storage device via the second communication unit 32.

  And the leaving determination part 313 specifies the movement path | route of the portable terminal 20a based on the position specified by the several positional information which the position information acquisition part 312 acquires and moves with time. And based on the movement route of this portable terminal 20a, the exit determination unit 313 can specify that the position of the portable terminal 20a has moved from a position that matches the position of the parking lot to a position that does not match the position of the parking lot. If it is determined that the vehicle 50 has left the parking lot. When the delivery determination unit 313 determines that the vehicle 50 has exited from the parking lot, it outputs a message to that effect to the settlement processing unit 314.

  The settlement processing unit 314 performs settlement processing upon receiving an input from the exit determination unit 313 indicating that the vehicle 50 has exited from the parking lot. In the present embodiment, as described at the beginning, a user who is on the vehicle 50 borrows a parking lot (not shown) in units of several hours or one day, and this parking lot. The vehicle 50 is parked. And it applies to the business where a business operator pays a parking lot usage fee and collects it from a user. Accordingly, when the delivery is confirmed, the settlement processing unit 314 determines that the parking lot rental to the user has been completed, and performs settlement by calculating the usage fee of the parking lot until the delivery. Then, the settlement processing unit 314 urges the user to pay the usage fee by, for example, sending an email clearly indicating the usage fee to the mobile terminal 20a.

  For example, dedicated application software may be used instead of e-mail for application for use of a parking lot by a user, settlement of a usage fee, or the like. In this case, the application software may be incorporated into the control unit 21 included in the mobile terminal 20a and the control unit 31 included in the server device 30a. In addition, if the individual who owns the parking lot rents the parking lot and the business operator settles the fee on behalf of the person, the terminal such as a personal computer used by the individual who owns the parking lot In addition, notification regarding the application for the use of the parking lot or the settlement of the usage fee may be made.

  The 2nd communication part 32 is a part for the control part 31 to communicate with the portable terminal 20a by a 2nd communication system. The second communication unit 32 is realized by, for example, the communication unit 190 described with reference to FIG. More specifically, it is realized by an antenna or a control module for performing communication with the mobile terminal 20a via an access point or relay device included in the network 40 in accordance with the second communication method. The second communication unit 32 is used, for example, for the communication continuation determination unit 311 to make a determination as described above, or for the position information acquisition unit 312 to acquire position information.

  In the above, each part with which the server apparatus 30a is provided was demonstrated. Each part demonstrated above is a part relevant to description of this embodiment, and the server apparatus 30a contains the part other than having mentioned above. For example, a part realized by the input unit 160 and the output unit 170 described with reference to FIG. 2 is included. More specifically, it includes a display unit such as a liquid crystal display or an organic electroluminescence panel for displaying an image, and an operation reception unit such as a button or a touch panel for receiving a user operation.

Next, a second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, the basic configuration and operation of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment described above. However, in the first embodiment, the departure determination performed in the server device 30a is different in that it is performed in the mobile terminal 20b in the second embodiment. Below, the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted about the point which is common in 1st Embodiment, and difference is demonstrated.

  First, the portable terminal 20b in this embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the mobile terminal 20b in the present embodiment includes a control unit 21, a first communication unit 22, a second communication unit 23, and a positioning unit 24, similarly to the mobile terminal 20a in the first embodiment. Consists of. On the other hand, the control of the control unit 21 is different from the first embodiment in that an exit determination unit 213 is realized in addition to the communication continuation determination unit 211 and the position information acquisition unit 212.

  The exit determination unit 213 has a function equivalent to the settlement processing unit 314 included in the server device 30b in the first embodiment.

Next, the server device 30b in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 9, the server device 30 b in the present embodiment includes a control unit 31 and a second communication unit 32, similarly to the server device 30 a in the first embodiment. On the other hand, the settlement processing unit 314 is realized by the control of the control unit 21, but the communication continuation determination unit 311, the position information acquisition unit 312, and the exit determination unit 313 are omitted from the first embodiment. .
In addition, since the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10b in this embodiment is the same structure as the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10a in 1st Embodiment, the description which referred the figure is abbreviate | omitted.

  The function of each device and terminal in the present embodiment has been described above. Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Here, FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the basic operation of the mobile terminal 20b. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the basic operation of the server device 30b.

  First, referring to FIG. 10, steps S31 and S32 are performed. This is the same processing as Step S11 and Step S12 in FIG.

Subsequently, in step S33, the exit determination unit 213 performs exit determination based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 212 so far.
When it has not left, it determines with No in step S34, and a process progresses to step S35. In step S35, the communication continuation determination unit 211 determines whether communication by the first communication method with the first communication unit 12 included in the in-vehicle device 10b by the first communication unit 22 is continuing (that is, communication is completed). Is not determined).

  If the communication has not ended and the communication is continuing, it is determined Yes in step S25, and the process again proceeds to step S32. And acquisition of the positional information in step S32, step S33, and step S34 and the leaving determination based on the positional information acquired until now are repeated. On the other hand, when the communication is finished and the communication is no longer continued, it is determined No in step S35, and the process is finished.

If it has been released, it is determined Yes in step S34, and the process proceeds to step S36.
In step S36, the exit determination unit 213 informs the second communication unit 32 that the server device 30b includes in the second communication method using the second communication unit 23 that it has determined that the vehicle 50 has exited from the parking lot. Output. Thus, the process ends.
In this way, the mobile terminal 20b performs a delivery determination and transmits to the server device 30b that the delivery has been performed.

  Next, referring to FIG. 11, the settlement processing unit 314 determines whether or not it has been received from the portable terminal 20 b that it has been determined that the vehicle 50 has left the parking lot. If it has not yet been received that it has been determined that the product has been shipped, it is determined No in step S41, and the determination is repeated. On the other hand, if it is determined that it has been shipped, it is determined Yes in step S41, and the process proceeds to step S42.

  In step S42, the payment processing unit 314 performs a payment process. Thus, the process ends. The operation of the present embodiment has been described above. These operations can be realized by the cooperation of the in-vehicle device 10b, the portable terminal 20b, and the server device 30b, and it is not necessary to install the device in the parking lot. That is, according to the present embodiment, there is an effect similar to that of the first embodiment, in which it is possible to make a vehicle exit determination without requiring installation of a device in a parking lot.

  Note that each device and terminal included in the above-described delivery determination system can be realized by hardware, software, or a combination thereof. In addition, a delivery management method performed by each device and terminal included in the delivery determination system described above can also be realized by hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Here, “realized by software” means realized by a computer reading and executing a program.

  The program may be stored using various types of non-transitory computer readable media and supplied to the computer. Non-transitory computer readable media include various types of tangible storage media. Examples of non-transitory computer readable media include magnetic recording media (for example, flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (for example, magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD- R, CD-R / W, and semiconductor memory (for example, mask ROM, PROM (Programmable ROM), EPROM (Erasable PROM), flash ROM, RAM (random access memory)). The program may also be supplied to the computer by various types of transitory computer readable media. Examples of transitory computer readable media include electrical signals, optical signals, and electromagnetic waves. The temporary computer-readable medium can supply the program to the computer via a wired communication path such as an electric wire and an optical fiber, or a wireless communication path.

  Moreover, although the above-described embodiment is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the scope of the present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are made without departing from the gist of the present invention. Implementation in the form is possible. In addition, in the following description, when it demonstrates without distinguishing both 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, it demonstrates without attaching | subjecting the alphabet of the code | symbol end, such as the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10a and the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10b.

  As a modification, for example, in the first embodiment, when transmitting location information from the mobile terminal 20a to the server device 30a, the mobile terminal 20a also identifies the other party that is communicating with the first communication method. Identification information for doing so may also be transmitted. In this case, the communication continuation determination unit 311 stores in advance identification information of the in-vehicle device 10a with which the mobile terminal 20a may communicate. Then, the communication continuation determination unit 311 compares the identification information received together with the position information with the identification information stored in advance, and if the two match, the in-vehicle device 10a and the mobile terminal 20a use the first communication method. You may make it determine with communication continuing.

  Similarly, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the communication continuation determination unit 211 monitors the first communication unit 22 to identify the other party that is communicating with the first communication method. When the identification information is acquired, the acquired identification information is compared with the previously stored identification information, and the two match, the in-vehicle device 10 and the mobile terminal 20 are continuing communication in the first communication method. You may make it determine. Thereby, it can confirm that the other party with which the portable terminal 20 is communicating by the 1st communication system is not apparatuses other than the vehicle-mounted apparatus 10a. In this modification, the identification information of the in-vehicle device 10 with which the mobile terminal 20 may communicate is stored in advance to identify the other party with which the mobile terminal 20 is communicating at the time of warehousing. It may be identification information. That is, you may make it consider the apparatus with which the portable terminal 20 is communicating at the time of warehousing as a vehicle-mounted apparatus.

  As a modification, for example, even if it is determined Yes in step S14, the processing in FIG. 6 may be terminated if the processing in steps S12 and S13 is performed for a predetermined time. This is because if the vehicle 50 starts moving at the time of delivery and a predetermined time has elapsed, it can be determined that the vehicle 50 has been delivered, so there is no need to transmit position information thereafter. For the same purpose, the location information acquisition unit 212 may be notified that the delivery determination unit 313 has determined that the delivery has been performed, and the processing in FIG. 6 may be terminated upon this notification.

  As a modification, for example, either the communication continuation determination unit 211 or the communication continuation determination unit 311 may be omitted. This is because if the determination is made by the communication continuation determination unit 211, the position information is not transmitted while the communication by the first communication method is not continued, and therefore the communication continuation determination unit 311 can be omitted. Further, if the determination is made by the communication continuation determination unit 311, the position information while the communication by the first communication method is not continued is not used for the leaving determination. Further, for example, when there are a plurality of mobile terminals 20, the communication continuation determination unit 311 may be provided and the communication continuation determination unit 211 may be omitted for some mobile terminals 20.

  As a modified example, for example, the mobile terminal 20 may communicate with the in-vehicle device 10 through the first communication method via a predetermined device. For example, when the in-vehicle device 10 is a car audio, the device connected to the car audio by wire and the mobile terminal 20 communicate with each other by the first communication method so that music from the mobile terminal 20 to the in-vehicle device 10 can be obtained. A file may be transmitted. As another example, when the in-vehicle device 10 is an ECU, a device that can be connected to an OBD (On-board diagnostics) port and the mobile terminal 20 communicate with the in-vehicle device 10 through the first communication method via a predetermined device. The information regarding the state of the vehicle 50 may be transmitted from the in-vehicle device 10 to the mobile terminal 20 in such a manner as described above. Thereby, this embodiment can be realized even when the in-vehicle device 10 does not have a communication function.

  As a modification, for example, the mobile terminal 20 acquires the position information measured by the positioning unit 13 by communication using the first communication method, and transmits the position information measured by the positioning unit 13 to the server device 30. Also good. Thereby, even when the portable terminal 20 does not have the positioning unit 24, this embodiment can be realized.
