Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile entity information management apparatus and mobile entity information management method for managing information related to mobile entities.

In a parking lot of a mobile object such as a car, it is widely practiced to provide a priority parking space as distinguished from a general parking space.
The priority parking space is provided in a convenient place such as a place where parking is easy or a place with a roof, and a mobile body on which a predetermined passenger gets on is used preferentially. Here, a predetermined passenger who preferentially uses the priority parking space is, for example, a passenger of an elderly person, a passenger with a child using a stroller, and a passenger using a wheelchair because walking is difficult.

By utilizing the priority parking space in this manner, it is possible to improve the convenience of the predetermined occupants and to secure the safety of the predetermined occupants.
In the following description, these predetermined occupants who should use the priority parking space will be appropriately referred to as "priority occupants".

  An example of a technology relating to the use of a priority parking space is disclosed, for example, in Patent Document 1. In the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, a management device installed in a parking lot identifies an occupant who has visited the parking lot by reading an ID from an ID card carried by the occupant. Next, the management apparatus searches the database related to the occupant, and when it is determined that the identified occupant is the priority occupant, the priority parking space is assigned to the priority occupant.

<Overall Configuration of Mobile Body Information Management System 1>
A mobile entity information management system 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows the entire configuration of the mobile entity information management system 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile body information management system 1 is configured to include an in-vehicle navigation device 10, a mobile terminal 20, a mobile body information management device 30, and a facility terminal 40. These devices and terminals are communicably connected to each other via a communication network 60. Although the information transmitted and received by each of these devices and each terminal is also illustrated in the drawing, these pieces of information are merely examples. In the present embodiment, information other than that illustrated may be transmitted and received.

  The in-vehicle navigation device 10 is a device that performs navigation (route guidance) for an occupant getting on the vehicle 50a. In addition, the in-vehicle navigation device 10 also has a function of measuring the position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 (that is, the position information of the vehicle 50a). The on-vehicle navigation device 10 performs route guidance from the current position to the destination based on the occupant's request and the measured position information.

  In addition, the in-vehicle navigation device 10 also has a function of acquiring occupant information which is information on an occupant in the vehicle 50a.

Then, the in-vehicle navigation device 10 appropriately transmits the measured position information and the acquired occupant information to the moving object information management device 30 together with the moving object ID which is identification information for identifying the in-vehicle navigation device 10. Here, since the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the vehicle 50a are used as a one-to-one pair, the transmitted position information can be substantially regarded as the position information of the vehicle 50a. Similarly, the transmitted occupant information can be regarded as occupant information of the occupant of the vehicle 50a.
The in-vehicle navigation device 10 can be realized by a portable car navigation device installed in a vehicle 50a which is a mobile body, or a PND (Portable Navigation Device) simply installed in the vehicle 50a which is a mobile body. .

  The portable terminal 20 is a portable terminal used by a passenger getting on the vehicle 50b. Similar to the on-vehicle navigation device 10 described above, the portable terminal 20 has a function of performing navigation (route guidance), a function of positioning the positional information of the portable terminal 20 (that is, positional information of the vehicle 50b), and It has a function of acquiring occupant information, which is information on the occupant in charge.

Then, as in the case of the on-vehicle navigation device 10 described above, the portable terminal 20 moves the position information and the acquired occupant information together with the moving body ID which is identification information for identifying the portable terminal 20. It appropriately transmits to the management device 30. Here, since the portable terminal 20 and the vehicle 50b are used as a one-to-one pair, the transmitted position information can be substantially regarded as the position information of the vehicle 50b. Similarly, the transmitted occupant information can be regarded as occupant information of the occupant of the vehicle 50b.
The mobile terminal 20 can be realized by a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a notebook computer, or another portable electronic device.

  In the figure, although the set of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the vehicle 50a and the set of the portable terminal 20 and the vehicle 50b are illustrated, there is no particular limitation on the number of these sets, and in the present embodiment May contain any number of these sets.

Further, in the following description, when calling the vehicle 50a on which the in-vehicle navigation device 10 is mounted and the vehicle 50b on which the occupant using the portable terminal 20 gets, the alphabet at the end is omitted and simply referred to It is called "vehicle 50".
Furthermore, the vehicle 50, and the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20 used by the vehicle 50 move along with the movement of the vehicle 50. Therefore, in the following description, the vehicle 50, the in-vehicle navigation device 10, and the portable terminal 20 will be appropriately referred to as a "mobile".

The mobile body information management device 30 is a device for notifying a facility such as a commercial facility (sometimes called "POI (Point Of Interest)") information of an occupant visiting the facility.
Specifically, the mobile body information management device 30 receives the information on the movement of the mobile body and the information on the occupant of the mobile body. In addition, the mobile entity information management device 30 stores information on facilities. Furthermore, the mobile body information management device 30 estimates the destination of the mobile body based on the information on the movement of the mobile body, and extracts a specific facility from the information on the facility according to the estimation result.
Then, the moving body information management device 30 transmits information on the occupant of the moving body to the facility terminal 40 corresponding to the extracted facility.
Here, the information on the occupant of the moving body can include information indicating whether the occupant includes a priority target occupant.

As a result, the facility that has become the destination can obtain information on the occupant. Therefore, it becomes possible for the facility side to grasp information on the occupant, and the facility side can allocate the priority parking space to the mobile object of the priority target occupant. In addition, it is possible to determine whether the mobile unit parked in the priority parking space is the mobile unit of the priority target occupant or the like on the facility side.
That is, according to the mobile body information management device 30, each parking space can be appropriately utilized.
The mobile body information management device 30 can be realized by, for example, a server device.

The facility terminal 40 is a terminal used by a facility operator. The facility terminal 40 outputs the information about the occupant visiting the facility, which is received from the mobile body information management device 30, to the facility operator. By referring to this output, the facility operator can grasp information on the occupant as described above. Further, in accordance with this, as described above, the operator of the facility can allocate the priority parking space to the mobile object of the priority target occupant.
The facility terminal 40 can be realized by, for example, a personal computer.

  The vehicle 50 is a moving body on which an occupant of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 or the portable terminal 20 gets on. The vehicle 50 is realized by, for example, a four-wheeled vehicle, a motorcycle, a bicycle, or the like.

  The communication network 60 is realized by a network such as the Internet or a mobile telephone network, or a network combining these. In addition, a LAN (Local Area Network) may be included in part of the network (for example, between the mobile entity information management device 30 and the facility terminal 40).

<Functional block provided in in-vehicle navigation device 10>
Next, functional blocks included in the in-vehicle navigation device 10 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG.
Here, the in-vehicle navigation device 10 receives power supply from the vehicle 50a, and is automatically started up by turning on the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a (starting the engine) by an occupant getting on the vehicle 50a. Then, the in-vehicle navigation device 10 operates until the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a is turned off (the engine is stopped) by the occupant getting on the vehicle 50a.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the in-vehicle navigation device 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, a sensor unit 14, a display unit 15, and an input unit 16.

  The control unit 11 is configured of an arithmetic processing unit such as a microprocessor and controls each unit constituting the in-vehicle navigation device 10. Details of the control unit 11 will be described later.

  The storage unit 12 is composed of a semiconductor memory or the like, and performs transmission processing of control programs called firmware or operating system, a program for performing route guidance processing, and location information to the mobile information management apparatus 30. In addition, various information such as facility information for route guidance and map information including facility ID are stored.

  The respective information stored in the storage unit 12 may be configured to be stored in advance in the storage unit 12, may be configured to be appropriately updated by the control unit 11, or may be connected to the communication network 60. The configuration may be appropriately downloaded from a server device (not shown) or the like as needed. Furthermore, it may be appropriately corrected according to the input of the occupant.

In the drawing, as information stored in the storage unit 12, position information 121, occupant information 122, and mobile object ID 123, which are information related to transmission processing of position information, are illustrated.
The position information 121 is the position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 (that is, the position information of the vehicle 50a) measured by the sensor unit 14 described later. The position information 121 may include not only the information indicating the measured position but also the time at which the positioning was performed.

The occupant information 122 is information on an occupant in the vehicle 50a. The occupant information 122 is acquired, for example, by an occupant information acquisition unit 112 described later.
The occupant information 122 includes information indicating whether the occupant includes a priority target occupant. In addition to the occupant information, for example, the number of occupants, the attributes of the occupant (for example, the occupant is an elderly person, the occupant uses a stroller, the occupant uses a wheelchair, the sex of the occupant, Information such as the age of the occupant, taste of the occupant, etc.) may be included.

The mobile object ID 123 is information for identifying the in-vehicle navigation device 10 or the vehicle 50a in which the in-vehicle navigation device 10 is installed.
As mobile object ID123, a serial number etc. which were uniquely assigned to in-vehicle navigation device 10 can be used, for example. In addition, in order to connect the communication unit 13 to the communication network 60 which is a network such as a mobile telephone network, the mobile ID 123 is a telephone number assigned to a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) inserted in the communication unit 13. It can be used as In addition, the VIN (vehicle identification number) uniquely assigned to the vehicle 50a and the number of the license plate can be used as the moving object ID 123.

  Moreover, in addition to the identification information by the combination of these characters and numerical values, the mobile object ID 123 also includes information indicating the feature of the vehicle 50a in which the in-vehicle navigation device 10 is installed. For example, the information includes the vehicle classification of the vehicle 50a, the model name of the vehicle 50a, the model number of the vehicle 50a, and the color of the appearance of the vehicle 50a.

  The communication unit 13 has a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or the like, and conforms to a standard such as 3G (3rd Generation) LTE (Long Term Evolution) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark) via the communication network 60. 60 realizes wireless communication with another device (e.g., mobile object information management device 30) via 60. The communication unit 13 transmits, for example, position information 121, occupant information 122, and moving object ID 123 stored in the storage unit 12 to the moving object information management device 30, which will be described later. Used for However, there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the data transmitted / received between the communication part 13 and another apparatus, You may make it transmit / receive information other than the positional information 121, the passenger | crew information 122, and mobile object ID123.

The sensor unit 14 is configured of, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, and the like. The sensor unit 14 has a function as position detection means for detecting position information, receives a GPS satellite signal by a GPS sensor, and measures the position information (latitude and longitude) of the in-vehicle navigation device 10. The positioning by the sensor unit 14 is performed at a predetermined time interval (for example, an interval of 3 seconds) as described above. The position information that has been measured is stored in the storage unit 12 as position information 121.
The sensor unit 14 can further enhance the positioning accuracy of the position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 based on the angular velocity measured by the gyro sensor or the acceleration sensor, or the acceleration.
Further, when GPS communication becomes difficult or impossible, the sensor unit 14 uses Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) communication, and the position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 according to the base station information acquired from the communication unit 13 It is also possible to calculate

  The display unit 15 is configured of a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic electroluminescence panel. The display unit 15 receives an instruction from the control unit 11 and displays an image. As information displayed by the display unit 15, for example, the current position of the in-vehicle navigation device 10, the map information around the current position of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 read from the map information, the destination set for the occupant, the other in-vehicle There are queuing information notified from the navigation device 10, route information, various occupant interfaces, and the like.

  The input unit 16 is configured by a physical switch called a ten key or an input device (not shown) such as a touch panel provided overlapping on the display surface of the display unit 15 or the like. An operation such as selection operation by a passenger or enlargement / reduction of a map can be realized by outputting to the control unit 11 an operation input from the input unit 16, for example, depression of a ten key by a passenger, and a signal based on touch of a touch panel. it can.

In addition, although not shown, a speaker, a microphone, etc. can also be provided. The speaker outputs a sound to the driver, and the microphone collects sound and the like emitted by the driver.
By doing so, it is also possible to output information as voice from a speaker, or to input various selections and instructions by the driver voice-inputted via a microphone to the control unit 11 by voice recognition technology.

  Next, details of the control unit 11 will be described. The control unit 11 is configured by a microprocessor having a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), and an input / output (I / O). The CPU executes each program read from the ROM or the storage unit 12, reads the information from the RAM, the ROM, and the storage unit 12 at the time of execution, and writes the information to the RAM and the storage unit 12. It exchanges signals with the communication unit 13, the sensor unit 14, the display unit 15, and the input unit 16. And, in this way, the processing in the present embodiment is realized by the hardware and software (program) working together.

  The control unit 11 includes, as functional blocks, a route guidance unit 111, an occupant information acquisition unit 112, and a moving body information transmission unit 113.

The route guidance unit 111 is a portion that performs route guidance processing to a destination such as a facility or the like input or selected by the occupant.
The route guidance processing to the destination is equivalent to the route guidance processing in a general car navigation system. That is, the route guidance unit 111 generates a map to the destination based on the map information (not shown) stored in the storage unit 12 and the sensor unit 14 measures the map on the generated map. Route guidance is performed by superimposing the current position of the in-vehicle navigation device 10, the position of the destination, and the route information to the destination on the display unit 15. In this case, a voice for route guidance may be output from a speaker (not shown). Further, information on congestion of roads, information on weather, and the like may be acquired by communication by the communication unit 13, and the acquired information may be used for route guidance processing.
The route guidance processing to the destination is well known to those skilled in the art, and thus the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The occupant information acquisition unit 112 acquires occupant information of an occupant on the vehicle 50a. Here, as described above, the occupant information acquired by the occupant information acquisition unit 112 includes information indicating whether the occupant includes a priority target occupant.
The occupant information acquisition unit 112 receives, for example, an input from the occupant via the input unit 16 as to whether the occupant is a priority target occupant. Then, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 acquires this input as occupant information.

  Alternatively, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 may acquire occupant information from, for example, information used in application software that operates in the in-vehicle navigation device 10. For example, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 acquires registration information indicating whether the occupant is a priority occupant from application software that requires registration of information on the occupant. Then, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 acquires this registration information as occupant information.

In addition, an in-vehicle camera (not shown) is installed above the sun visor of the vehicle 50a or the like, and the occupant information acquisition unit 112 performs occupant information based on the detection result of the in-vehicle camera. May be acquired. In this case, the in-vehicle camera captures an image of the seating state of each seat of the vehicle 50a and performs image recognition to detect whether the occupant in each seat is a priority target occupant. Then, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 acquires this detection result as occupant information.
In this case, the in-vehicle camera may perform image recognition to detect whether a wheelchair or a stroller is brought into the vehicle. Then, when it is detected that a wheelchair or a stroller is brought into the vehicle, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 determines that a priority target occupant is present, and acquires the determination result as occupant information.

  In addition, other sensors or switches for detecting the elevation of the slope for getting on and off the wheelchair and sensors or switches for detecting the opening and closing of the back door for getting on and off the wheelchair are installed in the vehicle 50a. It is also good. In this case, when it is determined that the wheelchair has got on / off based on the detection results of these sensors and the like, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 determines that the priority target occupant is present, and acquires the determination result as the occupant information.

In addition to the information indicating whether the occupant includes a priority target occupant, the occupant information includes, for example, the number of occupants and the attributes of the occupant (for example, the occupant is an elderly person and the occupant uses a stroller Information such as the sex of the occupant, the age of the occupant, the taste of the occupant, and the like may be included.
In this case, for example, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 measures the number of passengers based on the detection results of a known weight sensor (pressure sensor), a door open / close switch, or a sensor installed in the vehicle 50a. The number of people is acquired as crew information.

  Further, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 may acquire attribute information of these occupants, for example, based on the image captured by the in-vehicle camera installed in the vehicle 50 described above. For example, the in-vehicle camera captures the seating state of each seat of the vehicle 50, and performs image recognition, whereby the seating state of the occupant in each seat and the attribute of the occupant can be detected.

  Furthermore, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 also detects a sensor or switch that detects the elevation of the slope for getting on and off the wheelchair described above, and a sensor or switch that detects the opening and closing of the back door for getting on and off the wheelchair. Based on the results, occupant attributes can be detected.

  Furthermore, for example, by analyzing the history of route guidance by the route guidance unit 111, for example, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 may acquire information such as the taste of the occupant as occupant information.

  The occupant information acquisition unit 112 may acquire the occupant information at the time of departure of the vehicle 50a, or when the vehicle 50a stops while traveling and a person is newly carried. On the other hand, since it is estimated that the state in the vehicle is not changed while the vehicle 50a is traveling, even after the occupant information is acquired once, the occupant information is not acquired while the vehicle 50a is traveling Good.

  The occupant information acquisition unit 112 stores the acquired occupant information as the occupant information 122 in the storage unit 12.

  The moving body information transmitting unit 113 transmits the position information 121, the occupant information 122, and the moving body ID 123 stored in the storage unit 12 to the moving body information management device 30 by wireless communication using the communication unit 13. It is a part.

Transmission of the position information 121, the occupant information 122 and the moving object ID 123 to the moving object information management apparatus 30 by the moving object information transmission unit 113 is performed by turning on the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a The operation is periodically performed after the on-vehicle navigation device 10 is automatically started and until the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a is turned off (the engine is stopped) at the end of the drive. For example, each time the sensor unit 14 performs positioning at a predetermined time interval (for example, an interval of 3 seconds), transmission is performed in real time. That is, once the drive is started, transmission is performed in real time until the drive ends.
Also, instead of transmitting to the mobile information management device 30 in real time, a plurality of them (for example, position information 121 and mobile ID 123 updated at an interval of 3 seconds for 3 minutes) are collected once, It may be sent to the That is, so-called burst transmission may be performed. The length of the predetermined time interval, and whether to transmit in real time or to perform burst transmission can be arbitrarily set according to the environment to which the present embodiment is applied.
As described above, by performing real-time transmission and burst transmission, the moving body information transmission unit 113 includes the position information 121 for identifying the movement route of the vehicle 50a measured by the sensor unit 14 and the occupant information acquisition unit 112. The acquired occupant information 122 and the moving body ID 123 are transmitted to the moving body information management device 30.

In this case, the ignition switch is turned on (the engine is started), and the position specified by the position information 121 positioned immediately after the on-board navigation device 10 is automatically started is moved as the first vehicle position in the drive, that is, the departure position. It can be sent to the physical information management device 30. Furthermore, the position specified by the position information 121 positioned immediately before the ignition switch is turned off (engine stop) can be transmitted to the mobile information management device 30 as the final vehicle position in the drive, that is, the arrival position. For example, after adding information indicating that it is the position information 121 indicating the departure position or the position information 121 indicating the arrival position (for example, the flag indicating these is set to 1) to the position information 121, It is transmitted to the mobile entity information management device 30.
When the ignition switch is turned on (the engine is started) for the position information 121 (that is, the arrival position) located immediately before the ignition switch is turned off (the engine is stopped), the in-vehicle navigation device 10 is restarted. May be sent to

Also, even in the case of performing burst transmission, when it is determined by the route guidance unit 111 that the vehicle 50a has arrived at a destination such as a facility, the mobile entity information transmission unit 113 performs transmission in real time You should switch to In this way, after arrival at a destination such as a facility, the ignition switch is turned off (engine is stopped) before the location information 121 of the destination such as a facility is transmitted, and the location of the destination such as a facility It is possible to prevent the situation where the information 121 is not transmitted to the mobile entity information management device 30.
The occupant information 122 may not be periodically transmitted as in the position information 121, but may be transmitted only when the content of the occupant information 122 is changed.

In addition, the mobile object information transmission unit 113 transmits information of the destination set in the route guidance unit 111 to the mobile object information management device 30 together with the position information 121, the occupant information 122, and the mobile object ID 123 described above. You may
For example, when the occupant sets the destination in the route guidance unit 111, the mobile object information transmission unit 113 performs this purpose based on the route guidance map information (not shown) stored in the storage unit 12. The location information (latitude and longitude) of the ground and the facility ID of the facility corresponding to this destination are acquired. Then, the mobile entity information transmission unit 113 transmits the acquired information to the mobile entity information management device 30 as information on the destination.
Thereby, the destination estimation part 312 in the below-mentioned mobile body information management apparatus 30 can specify the plant | facility which the vehicle 50 is going to visit.
The destination information may further include the estimated arrival time to the destination calculated by the route guidance unit 111. As a result, the destination estimating unit 312 in the moving object information management device 30, which will be described later, can also specify the estimated time of arrival at the facility that the vehicle 50 is going to visit.

<Functional Block of Mobile Terminal 20>
Next, functional blocks included in the mobile terminal 20 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 3.
Here, although the on-vehicle navigation device 10 described above receives the supply of power from the vehicle 50a, the portable terminal 20 receives the supply of power from a battery (not shown) provided in itself. However, in order to charge the battery, the portable terminal 20 may receive power supply from a cigar socket or the like of the vehicle 50b.

As shown in FIG. 3, the portable terminal 20 includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, a communication unit 23, a sensor unit 24, a display unit 25, an input unit 26, and a short distance communication unit 27. It consists of
Here, the control unit 21, the storage unit 22, the communication unit 23, the sensor unit 24, the display unit 25, and the input unit 26 have the same functions as the functional blocks of the same name included in the on-vehicle navigation device 10 described above. Have. That is, in the description of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 described above, each word of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 is replaced with the "mobile terminal 20" and each word of the "vehicle 50a" is replaced with the "vehicle 50b". The description of the functional blocks will be omitted, and redundant description will be omitted.

On the other hand, the portable terminal 20 is different from the in-vehicle navigation device 10 in that the portable terminal 20 includes the short distance communication unit 27 and the like, and thus the difference will be described below.
The short distance communication unit 27 performs non-contact short distance communication conforming to a standard such as NFC (Near Field Communication) or Bluetooth (registered trademark), or performs short distance communication by wire via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable or the like. It is part of.

On the other hand, the vehicle 50 b includes a short distance communication unit for communicating with the short distance communication unit 27. For example, an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) of the vehicle 50b includes a short distance communication unit.
Then, the case where the portable terminal 20 can communicate with the ECU by short-distance communication means that the portable terminal 20 exists in the vehicle 50b. In this case, the position information measured by the sensor unit 24 of the mobile terminal 20 corresponds to the position information of the vehicle 50b.

  Therefore, while the portable terminal 20 can perform near field communication with the ECU via the near field communication unit 27, the mobile terminal information transmission unit 213 is activated. Then, in the same manner as the mobile object information transmission unit 113 of the on-vehicle navigation device 10, the activated mobile object information transmission unit 213 performs position information 221 for identifying the movement route of the vehicle 50b measured by the sensor unit 24; The occupant information 222 acquired by the information acquisition unit 212 and the moving object ID 223 are transmitted to the moving object information management device 30.

  For example, when the passenger carries the portable terminal 20 and gets on the vehicle 50b and turns on the start switch of the vehicle 50b such as an ignition switch, the vehicle 50b and the portable terminal 20 are connected (paired) and The position information 221, the occupant information 222, and the moving body ID 223 which have been measured are transmitted from the portable terminal 20 to the moving body information management device 30. In this case, the position specified by the position information 121 measured immediately after pairing of the vehicle 50b and the portable terminal 20 can be transmitted to the mobile information management device 30 as the first vehicle position in the drive, that is, the departure position. .

  Furthermore, when the start switch of the vehicle 50b such as an ignition switch is turned off, the pairing of the vehicle 50b and the portable terminal 20 is released. In this case, the position specified by the position information 121 positioned immediately before the cancellation can be transmitted to the mobile entity information management device 30 as the final vehicle position in the drive, that is, the arrival position.

  In this case, it may be transmitted in real time or may be transmitted in bursts, or if it is determined that the user has arrived at the destination, the point may be switched to transmission in real time, or the departure position Alternatively, information indicating that it is an arrival position may be added, an arrival position may be transmitted at restart, or information of a destination set in the route guidance unit 111 may be transmitted. The point or the occupant information 222 is not periodically transmitted, but may be transmitted only when the content of the occupant information 222 is changed, as in the mobile information transmission unit 113. .

  When the vehicle 50b has a function of positioning the position information, not the position information measured by the sensor unit 24 but the position information measured by the vehicle 50b is used as the position information 121 in the mobile object information management apparatus 30. You may make it transmit. In this case, the sensor unit 24 may be omitted from the portable terminal 20.

<Functional Block of Mobile Object Information Management Device 30>
Next, functional blocks provided in the mobile entity information management device 30 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile entity information management device 30 is configured to include a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a communication unit 33.

  The control unit 31 includes an arithmetic processing unit such as a microprocessor, and controls each unit constituting the mobile entity information management device 30. Details of the control unit 31 will be described later.

  The storage unit 32 is constituted by a semiconductor memory or the like, and each program such as a control program called a firmware or an operating system, a program for performing a service providing process, and various information such as map information etc. It is memorized. In the figure, map information 321 and mobile entity information database 322, which are information related to the processing for service provision, are illustrated as the information stored in the storage unit 32.

  The map information 321 includes information about features such as roads and facilities, road information, facility information, and parking lot information. In addition, the map information 321 further includes display map data for displaying a background such as a road and a road map, position information of nodes (for example, intersections of roads, bending points, end points, etc.) and type information thereof It includes road network data including link position data and type information of links, which are routes connecting between nodes, and link cost data on cost information (for example, distance, required time, etc.) of all links.

As road information, information on so-called road maps such as road types and traffic lights is stored.
As facility information, position information of each facility is stored as information of latitude and longitude. In addition, as facility location information, facility identification information (facility ID), name, facility type (and / or genre), telephone number, address, business hours, menus provided if the facility is a restaurant, product service etc. Incidental information such as facility information may be included.
As parking lot information, position information of the parking lot is stored as latitude and longitude information. When a parking lot is a parking lot attached to each facility, the facility and the parking lot are linked and stored.

  The map information 321 may be configured to be stored in advance in the storage unit 32, or may be appropriately downloaded from a server device (not shown) connected to the communication network 60 as needed. . Furthermore, the map information 321 may be appropriately corrected according to the input of the occupant.

The mobile information database 322 is constructed based on the position information 121, the occupant information 122 and the mobile ID 123 received from the in-vehicle navigation device 10, and the position information 221 received from the portable terminal 20, the occupant information 222 and the mobile ID 223 It is a database.
The mobile body information database 322 is constructed and updated by a mobile body information database updating unit 311 described later. Details of the mobile entity information database 322 will be described later in the description of the mobile entity information database update unit 311.

  In the following description, when the position information 121 and the position information 221 are described without distinction, the reference numerals are omitted and they are called "position information". Similarly, when the passenger information 122 and the passenger information 222 are described without distinction, the reference numerals are omitted and they are referred to as "passenger information". Similarly, when the mobile object ID 123 and the mobile object ID 223 are described without distinction, the reference numerals will be omitted and they will be called “mobile object ID”.

The communication unit 33 has a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or the like, and is used for wireless connection conforming to a standard such as 3G (3rd Generation) LTE (Long Term Evolution) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark) or wired connection such as a wired LAN. Then, communication with other devices via the communication network 60 is realized via the communication network 60. The communication unit 33 is used to receive, for example, position information, occupant information, and mobile object ID transmitted from each of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20. In addition, the communication unit 33 is also used to transmit visit information to the facility terminal 40, for example.
However, there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the data transmitted / received between the communication part 33 and another apparatus, You may make it transmit / receive information other than these information.

  Next, details of the control unit 31 will be described. The control unit 31 is configured of a microprocessor having a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), and an input / output (I / O). The CPU executes each program read from the ROM or the storage unit 32, reads the information from the RAM, the ROM, and the storage unit 32 at the time of execution, and writes the information to the RAM and the storage unit 32, It exchanges signals with the communication unit 33. And, in this way, the processing in the present embodiment is realized by the hardware and software (program) working together.

The control unit 31 includes, as functional blocks, a mobile body information database update unit 311, a destination estimation unit 312, and a visit information transmission unit 313.
The mobile body information database updating unit 311 is a portion that updates the mobile body information database 322 based on the position information, the occupant information, and the mobile body ID that the communication unit 33 has received from the mobile body.

An example of the data structure of the mobile entity information database 322 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the mobile body information database 322 includes “mobile body ID”, “departure position”, “arrival position”, “route information” and “crew information” as attributes.
As shown in FIG. 5, the "departure position", the "arrival position", the "path information", and the "passenger information" are stored in association with one drive unit.

  As described above, the “mobile ID” in the mobile information database 322 is information for identifying the on-vehicle navigation device 10, the portable terminal 20, which is the transmission source of the position information, etc., and the vehicle 50 on which these are mounted. is there.

The “departure position” in the mobile body information database 322 is information for specifying the position where the passenger has left the vehicle 50 in the drive. The mobile unit information database updating unit 311 specifies the departure position from the position information received together with the mobile unit ID. For example, as described above, when the position information includes information indicating the departure position, the information indicating the departure position is stored in the field of the departure position in the mobile entity information database 322.
If the position information does not include information indicating the departure position, for example, it is assumed that the position corresponding to the position information received first after the transmission of the position information is started is the departure position. You can also.

  The “arrival position” in the mobile body information database 322 is information for specifying the position at which the occupant arrived by the vehicle 50 in the drive. The mobile unit information database updating unit 311 specifies an arrival position facility from the position information received together with the mobile unit ID. For example, as described above, when the position information includes information indicating the arrival position, the information indicating the arrival position is stored in the field of the arrival position in the mobile entity information database 322. In addition, when the information which shows an arrival position is temporarily not contained in position information, for example, transmission of position information etc. is once started, position information is finally received, and transmission of position information is not performed for a predetermined time. In this case, the position corresponding to the last received position information can be regarded as the arrival position. In addition, when the position corresponding to the position information to be transmitted does not change for a predetermined time or more, this position can be regarded as the arrival position.

  Also, when the mobile entity information database updating unit 311 has not received information indicating the arrival position since transmission of location information and the like has been started once, or when any position can not be regarded as the arrival position. In addition, since the drive of the mobile unit continues and is still moving, the arrival position field stores information "moving".

  Furthermore, “route information” in the mobile entity information database 322 is all the position information received from the start of transmission of position information and the like until the end. All of the position information makes it possible to identify the movement path from the departure position to the arrival position in one drive.

  Furthermore, as described above, the “occupant information” in the mobile body information database 322 is information on the occupant of the vehicle 50 corresponding to the on-vehicle navigation device 10 or the portable terminal 20 that is the transmission source of the position information and the like. As described above, the occupant information includes information indicating whether the occupant includes a priority target occupant.

  The mobile body information database updating unit 311 updates the mobile body information database 322 based on the received information each time position information and the like are received from the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the mobile terminal 20.

  The destination estimation unit 312 is a part that estimates a facility designated as a destination for each drive of each vehicle 50. Here, the facilities determined to be destinations by the destination estimation unit 312 are facilities corresponding to future destinations (ie, facilities to be visited from now) and facilities corresponding to the current destination (ie, present) The facility being visited may be either or both.

Various methods can be considered as a method by which the destination estimation unit 312 estimates a facility set as a destination.
For example, when information on a destination in route guidance is received from a mobile body, the destination estimation unit 312 can estimate a facility designated as a destination based on the information on the destination. . For example, when the location information of the facility designated as the destination and the facility ID of the facility designated as the destination are received from the moving object as the destination information in the route guidance, these information and the map information 321 The destination facility can be estimated by comparing the

  In addition, the destination estimating unit 312 can also estimate the facility set as the destination by referring to the moving body information database 322. For example, in the case where information indicating the arrival position is stored in the mobile body information database 322, the arrival position and the position of the facility included in the map information 321 (and of the parking lot linked to the facility) By comparing the location), it is possible to estimate the destination facility.

  In addition, for example, when the information indicating the arrival position is not stored in the mobile body information database 322 (that is, when the drive is continued and the information “moving” is stored), The destination estimation unit 312 can also estimate the facility designated as the destination in the current drive from the travel route in the current drive and the travel route in the past drive. For example, by comparing the movement path in the current drive and the movement path in the past drive, the movement path in the past drive closest to the movement path in the current drive is identified. Then, the arrival position of the movement route in this past drive is regarded as the arrival position of the movement route in the current drive. Then, as described above, it is possible to estimate the destination facility in the current drive from the arrival position regarded as the arrival position of the moving route in the current drive.

Although the destination estimation unit 312 may estimate the facility designated as the destination for each drive of each mobile unit, each of the mobile units that can determine that the priority target passenger is on the basis of the passenger information. The destination facility may be estimated for the drive only.
The destination estimating unit 312 links the moving object ID of the moving object to be estimated and the facility ID of the facility determined to be the estimated destination, and outputs the result to the visit information transmitting unit 313.

The visit information transmission unit 313 is a part that transmits visit information to the facility terminal 40. Here, the visit information includes information on an occupant or the like of a mobile body who is to visit a facility designated as a destination (or is currently visiting a facility designated as a destination).
Specifically, the visit information transmission unit 313 generates visit information by correlating the moving object ID of the moving object which is the target of the estimation by the destination estimation unit 312 with the occupant information corresponding to the moving object ID. . Then, the generated visit information is transmitted to the facility terminal 40 corresponding to the facility determined to be the destination estimated by the destination estimation unit 312.
Although the destination estimation unit 312 may generate and transmit visit information for each drive of each mobile unit, a mobile unit that can determine that the priority target passenger is on the basis of the passenger information. The generation and transmission of visit information may be performed only for each drive of

<Functional Block of Facility Terminal 40>
The facility terminal 40 can be realized by a general personal computer, and thus the detailed description is omitted. As shown in FIG. 6, the customer terminal 4 is configured to include at least a control unit 41, a storage unit 42, a communication unit 43, a display unit 44, and an input unit 45. The configuration of each part is, for example, the same as the configuration of each part where the names of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20 are the same.

  The storage unit 42 is configured by a semiconductor memory or the like, and stores various programs such as firmware and a control program called an operating system, a program for performing a service providing process, and various other information. In the figure, as the information stored in the storage unit 42, the providable service information 421 is illustrated.

The available service information 421 is information for specifying a service to be provided to a mobile unit on which the priority target passenger is riding at a facility corresponding to the facility terminal 40.
Here, the service to be provided is, for example, a service that precedes the moving object on which the priority target passenger is riding. More specifically, for example, the priority parking space, which is normally closed, is opened in advance, or a moving body on which a child or the elderly is riding is guided to a space near the entrance of the shopping center, It is a service that specifies a parking place.

  Besides, the service to be provided is, for example, a service for confirming whether the mobile body currently parked in the priority parking space is a mobile body on which the priority target passenger is riding. With this service, for example, it is possible to detect that a mobile object on which a priority target passenger is not riding is mistakenly parked in the priority parking space, and by urging the mobile object to move to a general parking space, priority parking Space can be released. In addition, it can be found that the mobile unit on which the priority target passenger is riding is parked in a general parking space, and the mobile unit can be urged to move to the priority parking space.

The available service information 421 may be, for example, parking lot information including information such as the number and position of priority parking spaces and general parking spaces, the parking status of each parking space, and services as information for providing such services. Includes information such as the number of business people deployed to provide
In addition, the providable service information 421 can be appropriately updated, for example, by an operation of the facility operator via the input unit 45. Also, the providable service information 421 can be updated as appropriate, for example, by communication via the communication unit 43 with a device that manages the parking status of the parking lot.

The control unit 41 includes a service providing information generation unit 411.
The service provision information generation unit 411 generates service provision information, which is information for providing a service to a mobile object on which a priority target passenger is riding at the facility, the operator of the facility corresponding to the facility terminal 40 Part of the
The service provision information generation unit 411 receives, from the destination estimation unit 312 of the mobile unit information management apparatus 30, the visit information on the mobile unit determined to be on board the priority target passenger, and the available service information 421. And generates service provision information based on the

Further, the service providing information generation unit 411 causes the display unit 44 to display the generated service providing information. Alternatively, the service providing information generation unit 411 causes the generated service providing information to be voice-outputted from a speaker (not shown).
As a result, the operator of the facility terminal 40 can provide a service to the mobile unit on which the priority target passenger is on the basis of the service providing information.

<Specific example of service provision information>
Next, a specific example of the service providing information generated by the service providing information generation unit 411 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 7 shows a display example when the service providing information is displayed on the display unit 44. As shown in FIG. Here, as described above, the service providing information is generated based on the visit information on the mobile object determined to be a passenger of the priority target and the available service information 421. In the display example of FIG. 7, a mobile object image 71, mobile object details 72, target occupant details 73, and target occupant details 73 are displayed as information corresponding to these pieces of information.

  The moving body image 71 is an image showing the appearance of the vehicle 50 which is a moving body on which the priority target passenger is riding. The service providing information generation unit 411 generates a moving object image 71 based on information such as the model name of the vehicle 50, the model number of the vehicle 50, and the color of the appearance of the vehicle 50, which are included in the moving object ID used to generate the visit information. To get For example, the service providing information generation unit 411 acquires the mobile object image 71 by searching a database provided by a car maker or the like based on the information of the vehicle 50.

  The mobile unit detail 72 is information indicating details of the vehicle 50 which is a mobile unit on which the priority target passenger is riding. The moving object details 72 include, for example, information such as the type of moving object, vehicle classification, vehicle type, and color. The service providing information generation unit 411 acquires these pieces of information from the mobile unit ID used to generate the visit information. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, when the service providing information generation unit 411 receives the mobile body ID and the estimated arrival time to the destination calculated by the route guidance unit 111 or the route guidance unit 211. The estimated arrival time may be displayed.

  The target occupant detail 73 is information on the priority target occupant getting on the moving body. The service providing information generation unit 411 acquires the target occupant detail 73 based on the occupant information used to generate the visit information. The target occupant details 73 may include not only the presence or absence of a priority target occupant, but also information such as the number of priority target occupants and attributes of the priority target occupant (for example, the priority target occupant is an elderly person). .

  The service details 74 are specific contents of the service provided by the facility operator. The service provision information generation unit 411 determines the specific content of the service provided by the facility operator based on the presence or absence of the priority target occupant, the attribute of the priority target occupant, and the available service information 421, and the service Displayed as details 74. For example, when the priority target passenger is a priority target passenger using a wheelchair, for example, the service providing information generation unit 411 is not currently used based on the available service information 421 and can be used by a wheelchair. Identify preferred parking spaces. Then, the service providing information generation unit 411 displays, as a service detail 74, an instruction to guide to the identified priority parking space. The content of the service details 74 may be, for example, specific content such as “guide to parking space A12” illustrated.

  The operator of the facility terminal 40 facilitates the moving object on which the priority target passenger is riding by referring to the information such as the moving object image 71, the moving object detail 72 and the target occupant detail 73 included in the service providing information. Can be identified. Further, the operator of the facility terminal 40 can refer to the service details 74 to provide an appropriate service that can currently be provided to the priority target passenger who is in the identified mobile unit.

<Operation of this embodiment>
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9. Here, FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a basic operation at the time of mobile object information database update processing based on the collected position information, occupant information and the like. Further, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation at the time of the service providing process.

First, collection of position information of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and an operation at the time of updating the mobile object information database will be described with reference to FIG.
In step S11, the mobile entity information transmission unit 113 determines whether to start transmission of position information. Here, as described above, the transmission is started when the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a is turned on.
If the ignition switch remains off, it is determined No in step S11, and the determination in step S11 is repeated. In this case, transmission by the mobile entity information transmission unit 113 is not started.
On the other hand, when the ignition switch is turned on, it is determined as Yes in step S11, and the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, the sensor unit 14 acquires position information by measuring the position of the in-vehicle navigation device 10.
In step S13, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 acquires occupant information.

  In step S14, the moving body information transmitting unit 113 transmits the position information obtained in step S12, the occupant information obtained in step S13, and the moving body ID to the moving body information management device 30 in a predetermined manner. Real-time transmission or burst transmission is performed periodically (step S13).

In step S15, the mobile entity information transmission unit 113 determines whether to end the transmission of the position information. As described above, the transmission is ended when the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a is turned off.
If the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a remains on, it is determined as No in step S15, and acquisition of position information in step S12, acquisition of occupant information in step S13, and transmission in step S14 are repeated again.

  On the other hand, when the ignition switch of the vehicle 50a is turned off, it is determined as Yes in step S15, and the process proceeds to step S16.

In step S16, the mobile entity information database updating unit 311 of the mobile entity information management device 30 updates the mobile entity information database 322 based on the position information, the occupant information, and the like transmitted by repeating step S12 to step S14 ( Step S15).
By the operation described above, mobile object information database update processing based on the collected position information, occupant information and the like is realized.

  Next, an operation at the time of collection of position information on the portable terminal 20 and updating of the mobile entity information database will be described. In the portable terminal 20, the sensor unit 14 in the above description is replaced with the sensor unit 24, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 is replaced with the occupant information acquisition unit 212, and the mobile information transmission unit 113 is replaced with the mobile information transmission unit 213. Replace the criterion that becomes Yes in step S11 with “when the start switch of vehicle 50b such as ignition switch is turned on and vehicle 50b and portable terminal 20 are paired”, and the criterion that becomes Yes in step S15 is “ignition” When the start switch of the vehicle 50b such as a switch is turned off and the pairing of the vehicle 50b and the portable terminal 20 is released, the above-described configuration may be substituted. Therefore, duplicate explanations are omitted.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9, an operation at the time of service providing processing will be described.

  In step S 21, the destination estimation unit 312 of the mobile entity information management device 30 refers to the inside of the mobile entity information database 322. Then, the destination estimating unit 312 refers to the occupant information of the moving object information that is not the target of determination, which is the moving object information of each drive, and there is a moving object on which the priority target occupant is riding. Determine if If there is no moving object on which the priority target passenger is riding, it is determined as No in Step S21, and the determination of Step S21 is repeated at a predetermined cycle. On the other hand, if there is a moving object on which the priority target passenger is riding, it is determined as Yes in step S21, and the process proceeds to step S22.

In step S22, the destination estimating unit 312 estimates a facility designated as a destination for the mobile object on which the priority target passenger is riding.
In step S23, the visit information transmission unit 313 generates visit information.
In step S24, the visit information transmission unit 313 transmits the visit information generated in step S23 to the facility determined as the destination in step S22.

In step S25, the service providing information generation unit 411 of the facility terminal 40 that has received the visit information generates service providing information based on the received visit information and the available service information 421. Then, the service providing information generation unit 411 causes the display unit 44 to display the generated service providing information. Alternatively, the service providing information generation unit 411 causes the generated service providing information to be voice-outputted from a speaker (not shown).
As a result, the operator of the facility terminal 40 can provide a service to the mobile unit on which the priority target passenger is on the basis of the service providing information.

According to the present embodiment described above, the facility side which is the destination can acquire the information on the occupant. Therefore, it becomes possible for the facility side to grasp information on the occupant, and the facility side can allocate the priority parking space to the mobile object of the priority target occupant. In addition, it is possible to determine whether the mobile unit parked in the priority parking space is the mobile unit of the priority target occupant or the like on the facility side.
That is, according to this embodiment, each parking space can be used appropriately.

In other words, it is sufficient if each device is equipped with a function capable of executing the series of processes relating to the mobile object information management function of the present invention as a whole, and what function blocks are used to realize this function is particularly shown in FIG. It is not limited to the example of FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG.
In addition, the embodiment described above may be modified, for example, as a modification described below. Note that the modifications described below may be further combined.

First Modification
In the above-mentioned embodiment, in order to provide a service in a parking lot in facilities, such as a commercial facility, mobile body information management device 30, facility terminal 40 grade, etc. were used.
By changing this, the mobile body information management device 30, the facility terminal 40, etc. may be used for other applications.

For example, visit information may be generated regarding the use of a road rather than a visit to a facility, and this visit information may be transmitted to a police station or the like that has jurisdiction over the road rather than the facility.
In this case, the facility terminal 40 is installed in the police station or the like.
In addition, the destination estimating unit 312 of the mobile entity information management device 30 specifies the road on which each mobile unit is currently traveling by referring to the route information included in the mobile entity information database 322. Then, the visit information transmission unit 313 of the mobile entity information management device 30 generates visit information when the identified road is a road on which only the mobile object on which the priority target passenger has ridden should travel. Then, the visit information transmission unit 313 transmits the generated visit information to the facility terminal 40 installed in the police or the like that has jurisdiction over the identified road.

  By referring to the visit information, a staff member such as a police station in which the facility terminal 40 is installed can grasp the traveling condition of the road on which only the mobile unit on which the priority target passenger has traveled should travel. Therefore, for example, the congestion status of this road can be grasped.

In addition, the police officer can grasp the occupant information of the moving object traveling on the road on which only the moving object on which the priority target occupant gets on is to travel. Therefore, the police officer can specify the moving object which is traveling on the road on which only the moving object on which the priority object passenger is traveling should travel, even though the priority object passenger is not on board. Thus, the police officer can take measures such as control on the mobile unit.
Thus, the embodiments described above can be beneficially used for other applications.

  The determination criterion as to whether or not the priority target passenger is a passenger may be changed in accordance with the road on which only the mobile unit on which the priority target passenger has traveled should travel. For example, in the case of a car pool lane in which only mobile objects on which a plurality of occupants are able to travel is targeted as a road on which only a mobile object on which a priority target occupant is to travel is to travel It is preferable to determine that the moving object is a moving object on which the priority target passenger gets on.

Second Modified Example
In the above-described embodiment, in addition to identification information based on a combination of characters and numerical values, the mobile object ID includes information indicating the feature of the vehicle 50 on which the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the portable terminal 20 are installed. For example, information such as a vehicle classification of the vehicle 50, a model name of the vehicle 50, a model number of the vehicle 50, and a color of the vehicle 50 is included.

  Instead of doing this, a database is constructed in which a mobile ID and information indicating the feature of the vehicle 50 corresponding to the mobile ID are linked in the mobile information management device 30 or the facility terminal 40. You may do so. Then, the mobile body information management device 30 or the facility terminal 40 that has received the mobile body ID may acquire information indicating the feature of the vehicle 50 by referring to a database built therein.

<Third Modification>
In the above-described embodiment, the occupant information acquisition unit 112 of the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the occupant information acquisition unit 212 of the portable terminal 20 acquire the occupant information.
Instead of this, a database is constructed in which the moving object ID and the occupant information of the occupant of the vehicle 50 corresponding to the moving object ID are linked to the moving object information management device 30 or the facility terminal 40. You may do so. Then, the mobile body information management device 30 or the facility terminal 40 that has received the mobile body ID may acquire the occupant information by referring to the database built therein.

<Other Modifications>
As another modification, the in-vehicle navigation device 10 or the portable terminal 20 may be realized by another device having no route guidance function. That is, the route guidance function by the in-vehicle navigation device 10 or the portable terminal 20 is not an essential configuration. In this case, the mobile object information management device 30 further includes a route guidance function, and the mobile object information management device 30 performs route guidance by communicating with the in-vehicle navigation device 10 and the mobile terminal 20. Good.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the mobile entity information management apparatus 30 is realized by one server apparatus or the like as another modification, but each function of the mobile entity information management apparatus 30 is appropriately set to a plurality of server apparatuses. It may be a distributed processing system that is distributed. In addition, each function of the mobile entity information management apparatus 30 may be realized by using a virtual server function or the like on the cloud.

  Furthermore, as another modification, the mobile entity information management apparatus 30 may have a function as the facility terminal 40. In this case, the mobile entity information management apparatus 30 having the function of the facility terminal 40 may be realized by the distributed processing system or the like as described above.
