The vehicle data 858 used includes the vehicle ID 859.

11 to 13 are flowcharts showing a flow of processing in the vehicle door control device 30, the user terminal 50, and the management server 70.

At the time of account registration, as shown in FIG. 11, the user terminal 50 first connects to the management server 70 via the network N, and notifies the management server 70 of the account registration request (step S101). Then, when the management server 70 receives the account registration request from the user terminal 50 (step S301), the user management unit 731 generates the user information 810 related to the user of the user terminal 50 and registers it in the user information DB 81 (step S301). Step S303).

Next, when making a reservation for using the share car, the user terminal 50 first connects to the management server 70 via the network N, and notifies the management server 70 of the reservation request for use (step S105). Then, when the management server 70 receives the usage reservation request from the user terminal 50 (step S305), the password issuing unit 735 assigns a reservation number to the usage reservation and issues a reservation password (step S307). Subsequently, the reservation management unit 733 generates reservation information 850 related to the usage reservation including the reservation number and the reservation password, and registers it in the reservation information DB 85 (step S309). After that, the reservation management unit 733 transmits the generated reservation information 850 to the user terminal 50 that has notified the usage reservation request (step S311). Then, when the user terminal 50 receives the reservation information (step S111), it stores the reservation information as the terminal reservation information 590 in the terminal storage unit 58 (step S113).

On the other hand, the vehicle door control device 30 periodically makes an inquiry to the management server 70, for example. That is, when the inquiry timing comes (step S215: YES), the target vehicle reservation information management unit 331 notifies the management server 70 of the inquiry (step S217). Then, when the management server 70 receives this inquiry notification (step S317), the reservation information providing processing unit 737 sends undelivered reservation information about the share car of the vehicle door control device 30 that notified the inquiry to the vehicle door. Reply processing to the control device 30 (step S319). Then, when the vehicle door control device 30 receives the reservation information (step S219), the target vehicle reservation information management unit 331 stores the received reservation information as the target vehicle reservation information 380 in the storage unit 37 (step S221). ..

Next, when the start date and time of use arrives and the user gets on the vehicle 1 of the share car, as shown in FIG. 12, the user terminal 50 first uses the vehicle door control device 30 in the vehicle 1 of the share car. And perform short-range wireless communication. Then, the terminal reservation information 590 for the corresponding use reservation is transmitted to the vehicle door control device 30 together with the unlock request (step S123).

On the other hand, in the vehicle door control device 30, the terminal reservation information acquisition control unit 333 receives and acquires the terminal reservation information transmitted from the user terminal 50 (step S223). Then, when the terminal reservation information is acquired, the use permission / rejection determination unit 337 in the activation execution control unit 335 first performs the first conformity determination as the use permission / rejection determination (step S225). Here, the target vehicle reservation information 380 is referred to, and when there is the target vehicle reservation information 380 having the same reservation number and the same reservation password as the terminal reservation information acquired in step S223, it is determined that the user authentication information is suitable.

When there is the target vehicle reservation information 380 determined to be conforming in the first conformity determination (step S227: YES), the use permission / disapproval determination unit 337 subsequently performs the second conformity determination (step S229). Here, it is determined whether or not the current date and time match the usage date and time according to the target vehicle reservation information 380 determined to match in step S225. If it is determined to be compatible, the license approval / disapproval determination is determined to be acceptable.

Then, in the case of passing (step S231: YES), the activation execution control unit 335 causes the power supply control unit 313 of the activation control unit 31 to perform power supply control (step S233). By the control here, the power supply to the key circuit unit 15 is started. After that, the activation execution control unit 335 causes the activation control unit 31 to perform unlocking activation control (step S235). By the control here, the key circuit unit 15 transmits a door unlock signal, and the vehicle door 19 of the vehicle 1 is unlocked.

After the lock is unlocked and the user gets on the vehicle 1, the vehicle electronic key 10 is brought into the vehicle 1 in the same manner as in the conventional state. That is, since power is supplied to the key circuit unit 15, the circuit can be operated. Therefore, when the engine button of the vehicle 1 is pressed to start the engine, a predetermined authentication process is performed by wireless communication between the vehicle 1 and the key circuit unit 15, and at that time, the key circuit unit 15 performs a predetermined authentication process. It is possible to transmit the authentication key to the vehicle 1 side.

After that, the activation execution control unit 335 transmits and processes a completion notification to the effect that the boarding procedure has been completed to the management server 70 (step S237). The management server 70 receives this (step S337) and uses it for another process such as use management of the share car.

By the above processing, when the user terminal 50 transmits given information (terminal reservation information in the above embodiment) to the vehicle door control device 30 in the vehicle 1 and the vehicle door control device 30 acquires this, it is activated. The control unit 31 controls the unlocking activation to unlock the vehicle door 19.

If it is determined in the first conformity determination that it does not conform (step S227: NO), or if it is determined that it does not conform in the second conformity determination and the license approval / disapproval determination fails (step S231: NO). , Performs predetermined error processing (step S239). At that time, an error notification indicating that the error processing has been performed may be transmitted to the management server 70.

Next, when the end date and time of use arrives and the user returns the share car, as shown in FIG. 13, the user terminal 50 first has a short distance from the vehicle door control device 30 in the vehicle 1 of the share car. Perform wireless communication. Then, the terminal reservation information 590 for the corresponding use reservation is transmitted to the vehicle door control device 30 together with the lock request (step S141).

On the other hand, in the vehicle door control device 30, the terminal reservation information acquisition control unit 333 receives and acquires the terminal reservation information transmitted from the user terminal 50 (step S241). Then, when the terminal reservation information is acquired, for example, the first conformity determination is performed in the same manner as in step S225 (step S243), and there is the target vehicle reservation information 380 determined to be conforming in the first conformity determination. Occasionally (step S245: YES), a second conformity determination is made in the same manner as in step S229 (step S247). Then, when it is determined in the second conformity determination (step S249), the activation execution control unit 335 causes the activation control unit 31 to perform locking activation control (step S251). By the control here, the key circuit unit 15 transmits a door lock signal, and the vehicle door 19 of the vehicle 1 is locked. The second conformity determination in step S243 may be omitted, and only the first conformity determination (that is, user authentication) in step S247 may be performed. After that, the activation execution control unit 335 causes the power supply control unit 313 of the activation control unit 31 to end the power supply control (step S253). By the control here, the power supply to the key circuit unit 15 is terminated. In addition, the activation execution control unit 335 transmits and processes a notification to the management server 70 that the return procedure has been completed (step S255). The management server 70 receives this (step S355) and uses it for another process such as use management of the share car.

If it is determined in the first conformity determination that it does not conform (step S245: NO), or if it is determined that it does not conform in the second conformity determination and the license approval / disapproval determination fails (step S249: NO). , Performs predetermined error processing (step S257). At that time, an error notification indicating that the error processing has been performed may be transmitted to the management server 70.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the vehicle door control device 30 installed in the vehicle, the key circuit unit 15 of the vehicle electronic key that transmits the vehicle door unlocking signal is attached to the activation control unit 31. By configuring the door unlocking signal, the activation control of transmitting the door unlocking signal from the key circuit unit 15 can be realized. Moreover, when the given information called the first user authentication information (terminal reservation information 590) is acquired from the user terminal 50, the activation control is performed. More specifically, the vehicle use permission / rejection is determined based on the target vehicle reservation information 380 acquired from the management server 70 and the terminal reservation information 590 acquired from the user terminal 50, and when it is determined that the vehicle is acceptable, the activation control unit 31 Can be made to perform activation control. Therefore, it is possible to properly unlock the vehicle door 19 after determining whether or not the user is a legitimate user.

Further, the vehicle door control device 30 of the present embodiment is not a mechanism that uses a vehicle diagnostic connector, but a mechanism that does not require access to an in-vehicle network (CAN). Further, since the mechanism is not such that a special device is incorporated in the vehicle door to unlock the vehicle door, it is not necessary to construct the vehicle door.

In addition, as a mechanism that does not use the vehicle diagnostic connector, a mechanism that unlocks the vehicle door by incorporating a special device inside the vehicle door can be considered, but in that case, specialized wiring work is required. Therefore, problems such as construction cost and construction time are expected. According to this embodiment, it is not necessary to incorporate such a special device in the vehicle door, and no specialized wiring work is required, so that the construction cost and the construction time can be reduced.

The application mode of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and components can be added, omitted, or changed as appropriate as long as the gist of the invention is not deviated.

[Modification 1]
For example, the configuration of the activation control unit is not limited to the configuration in which the circuit unit 15 as illustrated in FIG. 3 is attached. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the activation control unit 31A in the first modification. In FIG. 14, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those in the above embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 14, the activation control unit 31A of this modification has a control circuit 311, a push-down mechanism unit 315, and an attachment unit 317 to which the vehicle electronic key 10 is attached, and the vehicle electronic key 10 is attached to the attachment unit. By attaching it to 317, activation control becomes possible. Unlike the activation control unit 31 of the above embodiment, the vehicle electronic key 10 can be attached to the attachment unit 317 of the activation control unit 31A as it is. The push-down mechanism section 315 includes a push-down section for separately pushing down the door unlock button 11 and the door lock button 13 of the vehicle electronic key 10. If the vehicle electronic key 10 is provided with other buttons, they are also provided with a push-down portion thereof. For example, the push-down mechanism unit 315 can be configured by using a motor, a solenoid, or the like.

Then, in this modification, the activation execution control unit 335 of the vehicle door control device 30 controls the execution of the activation control by operating the push-down mechanism unit 315 at the time of pass determination of the pass / fail determination. Specifically, when the vehicle door 19 is unlocked, the push-down portion of the door unlock button 11 is pushed down to transmit a door unlock signal. On the other hand, when the vehicle door 19 is locked, the push-down portion of the door lock button 13 is pushed down to transmit a door lock signal.

In this modified example as well, the power supply control unit 313 will supply power to the vehicle electronic key 10. A dummy battery plug having a plus / minus contact at the same position as the button battery and having the same shape as the button battery is housed in the accommodating portion 17, and the power supply control unit 313 supplies power via the dummy battery plug. It is preferable to say that. In this case, the vehicle electronic key 10 does not need to be disassembled, and a dummy battery plug is only housed in the housing portion 17 instead of the button battery.

[Modification 2]
Further, the user terminal 50 may accept operation instructions for the door unlock button 11 and the door lock button 13 after the boarding procedure and until the return procedure is performed. For example, it can be realized by displaying an operation screen for giving an operation instruction of each of the buttons 11 and 13. Then, when the operation instruction is received, the operation information is transmitted to the vehicle door control device 30 by short-range wireless communication. On the other hand, in the vehicle door control device 30, when the operation information of each of the buttons 11 and 13 is received, the activation execution control unit 335 causes the activation control unit 31 to perform unlocking / activation control, or the activation control unit 31 performs locking / activation control. Let me do it. When the vehicle electronic key 10 is provided with a button other than the door unlock button and the door lock button 13, the operation instruction is also accepted on the operation screen, and the signal related to the pressing of the corresponding button is received by the key circuit. The control for transmitting from the unit 15 may be performed.

[Modification 3]
Further, in the vehicle door control device 30, acquisition of the second user authentication information (reservation information 850) from the management server 70 performed by the target vehicle reservation information management unit 331 and from the user terminal 50 performed by the terminal reservation information acquisition control unit 333. The first user authentication information (terminal reservation information 590) may be acquired by appropriately adopting a known encryption method.

Further, although the user terminal 50 has been described as being an electronic device personally owned by the user, it may be an electronic device prepared separately. For example, it may be an electronic device provided by a business operator that provides the car sharing service of the above embodiment to a user in the form of paid / free or loan. In that case, the electronic device can be used in the same manner as the user terminal 50 of the above embodiment, with the setting registration completed so that the electronic device can communicate with the management server 70 and the vehicle door control device 30. It is preferable to keep it in a state.

Further, when acquiring the first user authentication information, the user may accept the input operation of the reservation number and the reservation password. Then, the first conformity determination (user authentication) may be performed using the input contents.

[Modification example 4]
Further, in the above embodiment, a configuration has been described in which a reservation password is issued at the time of a user reservation procedure and user authentication is performed by using the reservation password together with the reservation number. On the other hand, user authentication may be performed using only the reserved password. Further, the issuance of the reservation password is not indispensable, and the user authentication may be performed using the login password issued at the time of account registration.

In this case, in the reservation information 850, the login password is included as the second user authentication information in the user data 856. Then, when the vehicle door control device 30 acquires the first user authentication information, the user accepts the input of the login password, and the user authentication is performed using the input contents. Alternatively, the vehicle door control device 30 may perform user authentication by transmitting and receiving necessary data to and from the management server 70 at the time of the user's boarding procedure, locking procedure, and the like.

[Modification 5]
Further, in the above embodiment, the user terminal 50 is illustrated as the information-carrying medium 5, but an IC card 501 (see FIG. 1) owned by the user can also be used. For example, an IC card 501 equipped with an IC chip 503 corresponding to the NFC standard can be used, and an IC driver's license is suitable. When an IC card (IC driver's license) 501 is used as the information-carrying medium 5, a reading device for reading the IC card 501 is installed in the window portion of the rear seat of the vehicle or the like. Then, when the IC card 501 is held over the window, the reading device reads the license number and outputs it to the vehicle door control device 30. In this case, the vehicle door control device 30 uses the license number input from the reading device to appropriately send and receive necessary data to and from the management server 70 to perform a license / rejection determination including user authentication. .. Then, on that basis, the activation control of the unlocking activation control and the locking activation control is performed.

When the user terminal 50 (electronic device such as a smartphone) supports the NFC standard, the vehicle door control device 30 acquires necessary information from the user terminal 50 via a reading device and performs user authentication. You can also do it. For example, it can be used as an emergency measure when short-range wireless communication connection by Bluetooth (registered trademark) or the like becomes impossible.

[Modification 6]
Further, the processing flow in the vehicle door control device 30, the user terminal 50, and the management server 70 is not limited to the processing flow shown in FIGS. 11 to 13. 15 and 16 are flowcharts showing a flow of processing in the vehicle door control device 30, the user terminal 50, and the management server 70 in the modified example 6. In addition, in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the same reference numerals are given to the same processing steps as those in the above embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 15, the process relating to the use reservation of the share car in this modification is basically performed in the same manner as in the above embodiment, but the vehicle door control device 30 does not particularly perform the process when the share car use reservation is made. The inquiry to the management server 70 and the acquisition of the reservation information (steps S215 to S221 and S317 to S319 shown in FIG. 11) described in the above embodiment are not performed.

Next, when the start date and time of use arrives and the user gets on the share car, as shown in FIG. 16, the user terminal 50 first comes close to the vehicle door control device 30 in the vehicle 1 of the share car. Perform wireless communication. Then, the terminal reservation information 590 for the corresponding use reservation is transmitted to the vehicle door control device 30 as unlock request information (given information) (step S161).

On the other hand, the vehicle door control device 30 receives and processes the unlocking request information transmitted from the user terminal 50 (step S261). Then, in this modification, the vehicle door control device 30 transmits the acquired unlocking request information to the management server 70, and makes an inquiry to the management server 70 (step S263). Then, when the management server 70 receives the unlock request information (step S363: YES), the management server 70 first makes a first conformity determination as a use / disapproval determination (step S365). Here, referring to the reservation information DB 85, it is determined that the user authentication information is suitable when there is the reservation information 850 which has the same reservation number and the same reservation password as the unlock request information which is the terminal reservation information acquired in step S223. ..

When there is reservation information 850 determined to be conforming in the first conformity determination (step S367: YES), the management server 70 subsequently performs a second conformity determination (step S369). Here, it is determined whether or not the current date and time match the usage date and time according to the reservation information 850 determined to match in step S225. If it is determined to be compatible, the license approval / disapproval determination is determined to be acceptable.

If it is determined in the first conformity determination that it does not conform (step S367: NO), or if it is determined that it does not conform in the second conformity determination and the license approval / disapproval determination fails (step S371: NO). , Performs predetermined error processing (step S373).

Then, if the result is passed (step S371: YES), the management server 70 transmits an unlocking permission signal to the vehicle door control device 30 (step 375). On the other hand, in the vehicle door control device 30, if the unlocking permission signal is received (step S275: YES), the activation execution control unit 335 causes the power supply control unit 313 of the activation control unit 31 to perform power supply control. (Step S277). By the control here, the power supply to the key circuit unit 15 is started. After that, the activation execution control unit 335 causes the activation control unit 31 to perform unlocking activation control (step S279). By the control here, the key circuit unit 15 transmits a door unlock signal, and the vehicle door 19 of the vehicle 1 is unlocked. After that, the activation execution control unit 335 transmits and processes a completion notification to the effect that the boarding procedure has been completed to the management server 70 (step S281). The management server 70 receives this (step S381) and uses it for another process such as use management of the share car.
