  Although not described in detail here, the customer terminal 40 and the in-vehicle terminal 50 shown in FIG. 3 can adopt the same hardware configuration as that shown in FIG. However, the customer terminal 40 and the in-vehicle terminal 50 often employ an SSD (Solid State Drive) instead of the HDD 24. Further, the customer terminal 40 and the in-vehicle terminal 50 often employ a touch panel having both functions of the input device 26 and the display device 27.

[Point management table]
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the point management table used in the present embodiment. This point management table is created by the environment point setting unit 13 and stored in the point storage unit 14.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the gas company 1 prompts the user (including the individual customer 4) as a small customer of the gas company 1 to register a point member. , Are recorded in the point management table shown in FIG.

  The point management table according to the present embodiment is configured by associating the user ID set for each user with the accumulated points assigned to each user. The accumulated points are determined based on the usage amount (charge) of gas (here, city gas) in the house 3 and the environment determined based on the usage amount (charge) of the LP gas taxi 5. Expressed as the sum of points (cumulative points = household points + environmental points). The point management table is configured by associating the user ID and the accumulated points with the taxi ID, the connection start time, and the fee information acquisition time. Here, the connection start time is a time at which the connection information acquisition unit 11 starts a connection with the customer terminal 40 in response to a connection request from the customer terminal 40. The fee information acquisition time is the time at which the fee information acquisition unit 12 acquires the fee information sent from the vehicle-mounted terminal 50.

[Operation of Management Server]
Next, the operation of the environmental value providing system according to the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the management server according to the present embodiment. Here, the case where the individual customer 4 uses the LP gas taxi 5 will be described as an example, and the operation executed by the management server 10 at this time will be described. Hereinafter, the individual customer 4 is referred to as “user A”, and the LP gas taxi 5 used by the user A is referred to as “taxi X”.

  While the user A is in the taxi X, the customer terminal 40 owned by the user A is operated. At this time, the user A causes the customer terminal 40 to approach the vehicle-mounted terminal 50 mounted on the taxi X, thereby automatically establishing NFC communication between the customer terminal 40 and the vehicle-mounted terminal 50. Then, the in-vehicle terminal 50 transmits the own taxi ID stored in the in-vehicle terminal 50 to the customer terminal 40. Then, the customer terminal 40 transmits a connection request including the user ID stored therein and the taxi ID received from the vehicle-mounted terminal 50 as connection information to the management server 10 via the network 30.

  In the management server 10, the connection information acquisition unit 11 acquires the connection request sent from the customer terminal 40 (Step 10). Subsequently, the environment point setting unit 13 determines whether the user ID included in the connection request acquired in step 10 exists in the point management table stored in the point storage unit 14, in other words, the user A It is determined whether or not the member is a member (step 20). If a negative determination (No) is made in step 20, this process ends.

  On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in step 20 (Yes), the environment point setting unit 13 stores the connection start time at which step 10 was executed in the point management table of the point storage unit 14 (step 30). Here, in step 30, the connection start time is associated with the user ID used in the determination in step 20.

  Further, the environment point setting unit 13 recognizes the taxi ID of the taxi X included in the connection request acquired in Step 10 (Step 40) and stores the taxi ID in the point management table of the point storage unit 14. Here, in step 40, the taxi ID is associated with the user ID used in the determination in step 20.

  Thereafter, when the taxi X on which the user A has boarded arrives at the destination, the user A pays the fare displayed on the taxi meter. When the fare is paid, the in-vehicle terminal 50 mounted on the taxi X transmits fare information including the fare to the management server 10 via the network 30.

  In the management server 10, the fee information acquisition unit 12 determines whether or not the fee information transmitted from the taxi X (the in-vehicle terminal 50) has been acquired (step 50). If a negative determination (No) is made in step 50, the process returns to step 50 and continues.

  On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in step 50 (Yes), the environment point setting unit 13 stores the fee information acquisition time for which the positive determination was made in step 50 in the point management table of the point storage unit 14. Here, at this time, the charge information acquisition time is associated with the user ID used for the determination in step 20.

  Subsequently, the environment point setting unit 13 compares the charge information acquisition time with the connection start time stored in step 30 (step 60). Then, the environment point setting unit 13 determines whether or not the fee information acquired in Step 50 is based on the use of the user A (Step 70). The method of the determination in step 70 will be described later.

  If an affirmative determination (Yes) is made in step 70, the environment point setting unit 13 determines the basic points and the basic points given to the user A for getting on the taxi X (LP gas taxi 5) as environment points. Additional points given based on the taxi X fare information (ride fare) are added as additional points (step 80). More specifically, in the point management table of the point storage unit 14, the environment point setting unit 13 adds the basic point obtained in step 80 and the addition to the numerical value of the environment point associated with the user ID of the user A. The process of adding points and the process of updating the accumulated points accompanying this process are performed. Here, the additional points are set such that the higher the fare, the higher the numerical value of the points. The additional points can be determined based on, for example, the boarding distance, in addition to the fare. In this case, the point value may be set higher as the riding distance becomes longer.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination (No) is made in step 70, the environment point setting unit 13 adds only the basic points to the user A as environment points as addition points (step 90). More specifically, the environment point setting unit 13 adds the basic point obtained in step 80 to the numerical value of the environment point associated with the user ID of the user A in the point management table of the point storage unit 14. And a process of updating the accumulated points accompanying this process. Thus, in step 90, unlike step 80, no additional points are added.

  After executing step 80 or step 90, the environment point setting unit 13 reads the connection start time, the taxi ID, and the fee information acquisition time associated with the user ID of the user A from the point management table of the point storage unit 14. Is deleted, and the series of processing ends.

  As described above, the user A (individual customer 4) who is a point member of the gas company 1 is given an environmental point by using the taxi X (LP gas taxi 5). It can be used for accumulative points including environmental points and household points, for example, to assist in payment for various types of shopping, exchange for merchandise, and the like, and can be used for reducing gas rates.

  Although detailed description has not been given here, for a user having a high numerical value of the environmental points or the accumulated points, for example, the basic points and additional points may be set higher than usual.

[Relationship between connection start time, charge information acquisition time, and additional points]
Now, the above-described determination method in step 70 will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the connection start time, the charge information acquisition time, and the addition points in the present embodiment. Here, FIG. 7A shows an example of a condition under which a positive determination (Yes) is made in step 70, and FIG. 7B shows an example of a condition under which a negative determination (No) is made in step 70. , Respectively.

  In the LP gas taxi 5, a plurality of users may be sequentially boarded during the business hours. At this time, since each user pays the fare, a plurality of pieces of fare information may be sequentially transmitted from one in-vehicle terminal 50 mounted on one LP gas taxi 5. obtain. In the following description, the first charge information acquisition time is referred to as “previous settlement time”, and the second charge information acquisition time following the first charge information acquisition time is referred to as “next settlement time”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7A, the connection start time exists between the previous settlement time and the next settlement time. In such a case, the next settlement time after the connection start time can be estimated to be due to the user A, so that a positive determination (Yes) is made in step 70. As a result, a basic point and an additional point are given to the user A as an additional point of the environment point.

  On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 7B, there is no connection start time between the previous settlement time and the next settlement time. In other words, the connection start time exists after the next settlement time. In such a case, the next settlement time before the connection start time cannot be estimated to be due to the user A, so a negative determination (No) is made in step 70. As a result, the user A is given only the basic points as points to be added to the environment points.

<Modification of First Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, the connection request to the management server 10 is made using the customer terminal 40 that can be connected to the network 30 and that is owned by the user A. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, even when the user A has a membership card (which stores the user ID) that cannot be connected to the network 30, the environment point can be given to the user A. In this case, a connection request including the user ID of the member's card held by user A in taxi X and his / her own taxi ID as connection information is sent from in-vehicle terminal 50 mounted on taxi X via network 30. Then, it may be transmitted to the management server 10.

Further, in the present embodiment, the customer terminal 40 acquires the taxi ID from the in-vehicle terminal 50 using NFC, but the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, a code image including its own taxi ID is posted in the car of each LP gas taxi 5, and the code image is photographed by the customer terminal 40, thereby acquiring the taxi ID of the LP gas taxi 5 on board. It does not matter.

Here, the connection information includes, for example, a user ID of the customer terminal 40 and the like.

  The reduction information setting unit 102 sets and outputs reduction information for reducing (discounting) the fare of the LP gas taxi 5. Further, when the fare of the LP gas taxi 5 is reduced based on the reduction information, the reduction information setting unit 102 stores the result in the reduction storage unit 106.

  The reduction information distribution unit 103 distributes the reduction information set by the reduction information setting unit 102 to the customer terminal 40 that has issued the connection request. Further, the reduction information distribution unit 103 distributes the reduction information set by the reduction information setting unit 102 to the in-vehicle terminal 50 (LP gas taxi 5) whose connection with the customer terminal 40 has been recognized.

  The recognition information acquisition unit 104 acquires the recognition information sent from the in-vehicle terminal 50 (the LP gas taxi 5) whose connection with the customer terminal 40 has been recognized. Here, examples of the recognition information include a user ID of the customer terminal 40 and a taxi ID of the LP gas taxi 5 on which the user is riding.

  The charge information acquisition unit 105 acquires charge information from the in-vehicle terminal 50 via the network 30. Here, the fare information includes, for example, a fare paid by the user when the user gets off the LP gas taxi 5.

  The reduction storage unit 106 stores the reduction fee based on the reduction information in association with the taxi ID.

  The hardware configuration of the management server 10 is the same as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 4).

[Operation of Management Server]
Next, the operation of the environmental value providing system according to the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the management server according to the present embodiment. Here, as in the first embodiment, the case where the individual customer 4 uses the LP gas taxi 5 will be described as an example, and the operation executed by the management server 10 at this time will be described. Hereinafter, similarly to the first embodiment, the individual customer 4 is referred to as “user A”, and the LP gas taxi 5 used by the user A is referred to as “taxi X”.

  The customer terminal 40 owned by the user A is operated. Then, the customer terminal 40 transmits a connection request including the user ID stored therein as connection information to the management server 10 via the network 30. At this time, the user A may be already in the taxi X or may not be in the taxi X yet.

  In the management server 10, the connection information acquisition unit 101 acquires the connection request sent from the user A (customer terminal 40) (step 110). Subsequently, the reduction information setting unit 102 sets reduction information in response to the acquired connection request, and the reduction information distribution unit 103 transmits the network 30 to the user A (customer terminal 40) that has transmitted the connection request. This reduction information is distributed via the server (step 120). Here, examples of the reduction information include an amount (100 yen discount or the like) and a discount rate (10% off or the like).

  Thereafter, the user A holding the customer terminal 40 gets on the taxi X. Then, the user A in the taxi X operates the customer terminal 40. At this time, the user A causes the customer terminal 40 to approach the vehicle-mounted terminal 50 mounted on the taxi X, thereby automatically establishing NFC communication between the customer terminal 40 and the vehicle-mounted terminal 50. Then, the user ID stored in the customer terminal 40 is transmitted from the customer terminal 40 to the in-vehicle terminal 50. Thereby, the in-vehicle terminal 50 recognizes that the user A holding the customer terminal 40 has boarded the taxi X. Then, the in-vehicle terminal 50 transmits the identification information including the taxi ID stored therein and the user ID received from the customer terminal 40 to the management server 10 via the network 30.

  In the management server 10, the recognition information acquisition unit 104 determines whether or not the recognition information transmitted from the taxi X (the in-vehicle terminal 50) has been acquired (step 130). If a negative determination (No) is made in step 130, the process returns to step 130 and continues. On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in step 130 (Yes), the reduction information setting unit 102 sets reduction information for the acquired recognition information, and the reduction information distribution unit 103 sends the recognition information. This reduction information is distributed to the in-vehicle terminal 50 via the network 30 (step 140). Here, the reduction information distributed to the in-vehicle terminal 50 in step 140 has the same content as the reduction information distributed to the customer terminal 40 in step 120.

  Thereafter, when the taxi X on which the user A has boarded arrives at the destination, the user A pays a discount fare reduced from the fare displayed on the taxi meter according to the above-mentioned reduction information. Then, when the discounted fare is paid, the in-vehicle terminal 50 mounted on the taxi X transmits the fare information including the fare before the discount and the reduction information to the management server 10 via the network 30.

  In the management server 10, the fee information acquisition unit 105 determines whether or not the fee information transmitted from the taxi X (the on-board terminal 50) has been acquired (step 150). If a negative determination (No) is made in step 150, the process returns to step 150 and continues. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination (Yes) is made in step 150, the reduction information setting unit 102 stores the reduction fee for the taxi X (= ride fee before discount-ride fee after discount) in the reduction storage unit 106. (Step 160), and the series of processing ends.
