Description

  The present invention relates to a control method of a lock system.

  Conventionally, a technique has been proposed in which a trunk of a vehicle (consignment receiving vehicle) is used for receiving a package (for example, Patent Document 1). In the unlocking system (locking system) disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the trunk unlocking switch provided on the outer surface of the vehicle is pressed, the operation information and the vehicle information are wirelessly transmitted from the in-vehicle communication device. The wirelessly transmitted operation information and vehicle information are transmitted to the portable terminal via the network. When the operation information and the vehicle information are received, the portable terminal communicates with the vehicle key. When the vehicle information received from the portable terminal is appropriate, the vehicle key transmits a trunk unlocking permission to the in-vehicle communication device via the portable terminal and the network. The trunk control unit receives the trunk unlocking permission via the in-vehicle communication device, and unlocks the trunk according to the trunk unlocking permission.

First Embodiment
<Configuration of lock system>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a lock system according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of the installation state of the lock system of the first embodiment.

  1 and 2, the lock system 10 includes lock devices 11-1 to 11-5, an open / close state detection sensor 13, a communication unit (communication device) 15, and a control unit (control device) 17. There is.

  Here, as an example, the lock system 10 is disposed in the vehicle 1. Specifically, the lock device 11-1 is disposed on the left front door 3-1 of the vehicle 1. Similarly, the lock device 11-2 is disposed at the right front door 3-2, the lock device 11-3 is disposed at the left rear door 3-3, and the lock device 11-4 is disposed at the right rear door 3-4. It is arranged. The lock device 11-5 is disposed at a trunk door 5 </ b> A of the trunk 5 of the vehicle 1. Hereinafter, the left front door 3-1, the right front door 3-2, the left rear door 3-3, and the right rear door 3-4 may be collectively referred to as a door 3.

  The vehicle 1 has a riding space SP1 and a trunk space SP2 as lockable spaces. The boarding space SP1 can not enter or exit by locking the lock devices 11-1 to 11-4 respectively disposed on the four doors 3. On the other hand, the trunk space SP2 is in a state where the luggage can not be taken in and out by locking the lock device 11-5 disposed in the trunk door 5A. Below, trunk space SP2 may be called "specific space."

  Specifically, each of the lock devices 11-1 to 11-5 becomes "locked state" when it receives a locking command signal from the control unit 17, while it receives "locked state" when it receives a unlocking command signal. "become.

  The communication unit (communication device) 15 receives the “locking signal” transmitted from the operation terminal (for example, a vehicle key carried by the user), and outputs the received locking signal to the control unit 17.

  When the control unit (control device) 17 receives a lock signal from the communication unit 15, it does not lock all the lock devices 11-1 to 11-5 but locks the lock devices 11-1 to 11-4. While in the state, the lock device 11-5 is in the unlocked state. That is, while the door 3 can not be opened, the trunk door 5A can be opened. As a result, the vehicle 1 can be put in the “package acceptable state”. The "load-acceptable state" is a state in which the passenger space SP1 can not enter and exit, and the trunk space SP2 can enter and leave the luggage. That is, in the "package acceptable state", it is possible to prevent an unknown person from entering the boarding space SP1, while permitting, for example, a delivery company to place a delivery luggage in the trunk space SP2.

  Then, the control unit 17 detects that the open / close state of the trunk door 5A (that is, the open / close state of the trunk space SP2) has changed from the open state to the closed state in the above-described “package acceptable state”. When a signal is received from the open / close state detection sensor 13, the lock device 11-5 is locked. That is, the control unit 17 changes the lock device 11-5 from the unlocked state to the locked state.

  Under the control of the control unit 17 as described above, for example, when the delivery door opens the trunk door 5A of the vehicle 1 in the luggage receivable state and places the delivery luggage in the trunk space SP2 and then closes the trunk door 5A Since the device 11-5 is in the locked state, it is possible to prevent theft of the delivery package, mischief of the delivery package, and the like.

  The open / close state detection sensor 13 outputs an “open state detection signal” to the control unit 17 when the trunk door 5A is opened, and outputs a “closed state detection signal” to the control unit 17 when the trunk door 5A is closed.

<Operation example of lock system>
An example of the processing operation of the lock system 10 having the above configuration will be described. Here, in particular, an example of the processing operation of the control unit (control device) 17 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing operation of the control unit (control device) in the lock system of the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the processing operation of the control unit (control device) in the lock system of the first embodiment.

  The control unit (control device) 17 waits until receiving the lock signal (NO in step S101), and when the lock signal is received (YES in step S101), does not lock the lock device 11 of the specific space, and locks the space other than the specific space 11 is locked (step S102). That is, the control unit (control device) 17 sends a lock command signal to the lock device 11 in a space other than the specific space. Thereby, the above-mentioned "package acceptable state" is realized. This state is a state at time t1 in FIG.

  Then, the control unit 17 waits until receiving the open state detection signal from the open / close state detection sensor 13 (step S103 NO). In FIG. 4, the timing at time t2 is the timing at which the control unit 17 receives the open state notification signal.

  When the open state notification signal is received (YES in step S103), the control unit 17 waits until the closed state detection signal from the open / close state detection sensor 13 is received (NO in step S104). In FIG. 4, the timing at time t3 is the timing at which the control unit 17 receives the closed state notification signal.

  When the closed state notification signal is received (YES in step S104), the control unit 17 locks the lock device 11 in the specific space (step S105). As a result, the entire locked state is obtained.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, when the control unit (control device) 17 receives the lock signal from the communication unit 15, the control unit (control device) 17 does not lock all the lock devices 11-1 to 11-5. While the lock devices 11-1 to 11-4 other than the specific space are locked, the lock device 11-5 of the specific space is unlocked. That is, the control unit 17 realizes the "package acceptability state". When the control unit 17 receives a lock signal and then receives a detection signal indicating that the open / close state of the specific space has changed from the open state to the closed state, the control unit 17 locks the lock device 11-5.

  With the configuration of the control unit (control device) 17, when, for example, the home delivery service provider opens a specific space and places the delivery baggage in the specific space in the luggage receivable state, the lock device 11-5 is closed. Can be locked, which can prevent theft of the delivery package and mischiefing of the delivery package.

  The following modification may be applied to the lock system 10 described above.

<Modification 1>
In the first modification, the back guide monitor camera 19 shown in FIG. 2 is used for the authentication process. For example, as a premise, the delivery company notifies the recipient of the package in advance (e.g., on the previous day) by e-mail or the like that there is a delivery. Then, the recipient logs in to the authentication site of the home delivery company and inputs that the home delivery is permitted. As a result, the home delivery company can obtain information indicating the site of the home delivery company where the information indicating that the home delivery is permitted is held. Here, the form of “information indicating the site of the home delivery company where the information indicating that the home delivery is permitted is held” is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a one-dimensional barcode, or 2 It may be a dimensional barcode (for example, a QR code (registered trademark)). Alternatively, if the control unit 17 has a character recognition function, it may be a character representing the URL of the site itself. Below, the case where QR Code (registered trademark) is used is described as an example. This is the premise.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing operation of the control unit (control device) of Modification 1 of the first embodiment.

  The control unit (control device) 17 waits until the lock signal is received (NO in step S101), and when the lock signal is received (YES in step S101), the lock device 11 of the specific space and the lock device 11 of the space other than the specific space are locked. (Step S201).

  Next, the control unit 17 waits for the delivery company to receive the QR code (registered trademark) photographed by the back guide monitor camera 19 by holding the QR code (registered trademark) (step S202 NO).

  When the QR code (registered trademark) photographed by the back guide monitor camera 19 is received (YES in step S202), the control unit 17 executes an authentication process (step S203). For example, the control unit 17 accesses the site of the home delivery company indicated by the QR code (registered trademark) via the communication unit (communication device) 15 and determines whether or not it has been permitted. If permitted, the authentication process succeeds (YES in step S204), and if not permitted, the authentication process fails (NO in step S204).

  When the authentication is successful (YES in step S204), the control unit 17 unlocks only the lock device 11 in the specific space (step S205). Thereby, the above-mentioned "package acceptable state" is realized.

  The subsequent processing is the same as the processing described with reference to FIG.

  As described above, by keeping the lock device 11 in the specific space in the locked state and releasing it on the condition that the authentication process is successful, the object not intended by the recipient is put in the specific space for the purpose of mischief. Can be prevented.

<Modification 2>
Also in the second modification, the back guide monitor camera 19 shown in FIG. 2 is used for the authentication process. For example, as a premise, the delivery company notifies the recipient of the package in advance (e.g., on the previous day) by e-mail or the like that there is a delivery. Then, the receiver logs in to the authentication site of the home delivery company, and inputs authentication information (for example, a personal identification number) known only to the receiver. Also, the recipient sets the input authentication information in the control unit (control device) 17 as well. Then, as described later, the delivery company carries out the delivery with the same information as the authentication information input by the recipient. Then, as described later, this information is held over the back guide monitor camera 19.
Alternatively, as a premise, the following procedure may be performed. The delivery company notifies the recipient of the package in advance (such as the previous day) by e-mail or the like that there is a delivery. Then, the recipient logs in to the authentication site of the home delivery company, and acquires authentication information (for example, a personal identification number) issued from the home delivery company. Then, the recipient shoots the acquired authentication information with the back guide monitor camera 19 and sets it in the control unit 17. Then, the delivery company takes delivery with the same information as the authentication information acquired by the recipient side. Then, the delivery company holds this information over the back guide monitor camera 19 as described later.
Here, the form of the authentication information is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional barcode (for example, a QR code (registered trademark)). Alternatively, if the control unit 17 has a character recognition function, it may be a character representing the authentication information itself.

  In the case of the second modification, the control unit 17 waits for the delivery company to receive the password captured by the back guide monitor camera 19 by holding the password up (step S202 NO).

  When the personal identification number photographed by the back guide monitor camera 19 is received (YES in step S202), the control unit 17 executes an authentication process (step S203). Here, if the security code set in advance in the control unit 17 matches the security code captured by the back guide monitor camera 19, the authentication process is successful (step S 204 YES), otherwise the authentication process is not performed. It becomes failure (step S204 NO).

  Even if the communication unit 15 can not connect to the Internet by such authentication processing (for example, the communication unit 15 supports only short distance communication such as infrared communication), the recipient does not intend for mischief purpose Can be prevented from being put into a specific space.

Second Embodiment
In the first embodiment, the control unit 17 changes the open / close state of the trunk door 5A (that is, the open / close state of the trunk space SP2) from the "open state" to the "closed state" in the above-described "package receiving possible state". When the detection signal indicating that is received from the open / close state detection sensor 13, the lock device 11-5 is locked. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the control unit 17 sets the open / close state of the trunk door 5A (that is, the open / close state of the trunk space SP2) in the "open state" to the "closed state" in the "package receiving possible state". The lock device 11-5 is locked only when it detects that a load has been placed in the trunk space SP2 as well as receiving from the open / close state detection sensor 13 a detection signal indicating that it has been changed to The basic configuration of the lock system of the second embodiment is the same as that of the lock system 10 of the first embodiment, and therefore will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the specific space of the second embodiment. In FIG. 6, the infrared ray output unit 21 and the infrared ray sensor 22 are disposed in a specific space (that is, the trunk space SP2).

  The infrared sensor 22 does not output a notification signal while sensing the infrared radiation output from the infrared output unit 21, and outputs a non-sensing notification signal to the control unit 17 if sensing can not be performed.

  The control unit 17 of the second embodiment changes the open / close state of the trunk door 5A (that is, the open / close state of the trunk space SP2) from the "open state" to the "closed state" in the above-described "package receiving possible state". Is received from the open / close state detection sensor 13 and an insensitive notification signal is received from the infrared sensor 22, the lock device 11-5 is locked.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing operation of the control unit (control device) according to the second embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the processing operation of the control unit (control device) of the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the control unit 17 according to the second embodiment receives the closed state notification signal (YES in step S104), the control unit 17 determines whether the non-sensing notification signal is received from the infrared sensor 22 (step S301). . When the no-sensing notification signal has not been received from the infrared sensor 22 (step S301 NO), the processing step returns to step S103. As a result, for example, even if the trunk door 5A is closed before loading the delivery package due to an operation error, the trunk door 5A can be reopened to load the delivery package.

  When the no-sensing notification signal has been received from the infrared sensor 22 (YES in step S301), the control unit 17 locks the lock device 11 in the specific space (step S302). In FIG. 8, the timing at time t4 is the timing at which the non-sensing notification signal is received by the control unit 17.

Third Embodiment
In the third embodiment, when the trunk door changes from the closed state to the open state, and conversely, from the open state to the closed state, the photographed image is stored by photographing for a predetermined period. The basic configuration of the lock system of the third embodiment is the same as that of the lock system 10 of the first embodiment, and therefore will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 9 is a view showing a rear portion of a vehicle equipped with the lock system of the third embodiment. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of processing operation of the control unit (control device) of the third embodiment. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the processing operation of the control unit (control device) of the third embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the control unit 17 of the third embodiment receives the open state notification signal (YES in step S103), as shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 17 causes the back guide monitor camera 19 to capture an imaging range. The photographed image is stored (step S401). The timing at time t2 in FIG. 11 is the imaging start timing corresponding to step S401. The shooting time may be stored together with the shot image.

  In addition, when the control unit 17 of the third embodiment receives the closed state notification signal (YES in step S104), the control unit 17 causes the back guide monitor camera 19 to capture an imaging range and save the captured image (step S402). The timing at time t3 in FIG. 11 is the imaging start timing corresponding to step S402. The shooting time may be stored together with the shot image.

  As described above, in the above-mentioned "package-acceptable state", since the image can be left when the trunk door 5A is opened and closed, it is possible to prevent mischief and is also mischief. Sometimes we can leave evidence.

Fourth Embodiment
In the fourth embodiment, when the temperature in the specific space exceeds the threshold when the lock device in the specific space is locked, the cooling device that cools the inside of the specific space is activated. The basic configuration of the lock system of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the lock system 10 of the first embodiment, and therefore will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 12 is a view showing a rear portion of a vehicle equipped with the lock system of the fourth embodiment. In FIG. 12, the vehicle 1 is connected to the charger 40 via a power supply cable 40A. Further, a cooling device 31 and a temperature sensor 32 are disposed in the trunk space SP2 of the vehicle 1 of the fourth embodiment.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing operation of the control unit (control device) of the fourth embodiment. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the processing operation of the control unit (control device) of the fourth embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 13, after the control unit 17 of the fourth embodiment locks the lock device 11 in the specific space in step S105, the temperature of the specific space has a threshold value based on the temperature information received from the temperature sensor 32. It is determined whether it exceeds (step S501).

  If the temperature of the specific space exceeds the threshold (YES in step S501), the control unit 17 operates the cooling device 31 (step S502). If the temperature of the specific space is below the threshold, the control unit 17 does nothing in particular. In the case shown in FIG. 14, since the temperature of the specific space at time t3 at which the lock device 11 in the specific space is locked is higher than the threshold, the cooling device 31 is activated.

  As described above, by operating the cooling device 31 when the temperature of the specific space exceeds the threshold value, the temperature inside the car becomes high and the parcel delivered to home (for example, sprays, electric appliances, etc.) is broken. It can be prevented.

  As a condition for operating the cooling device 31, in addition to the fact that the temperature of the specific space exceeds the threshold value, it may be added that the vehicle 1 is connected to the charger 40. That is, in this case, when the temperature of the specific space exceeds the threshold and the vehicle 1 is connected to the charger 40, the control unit 17 operates the cooling device 31.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the scope of the present invention.
