Further, an engine switch 10, a shift lever 14, an output device 16, an input device 18, and the like are provided in the vehicle interior of the vehicle 1.

The engine switch 10 is a switch operated by the driver when the engine of the vehicle 1 is started. The engine switch 10 may be referred to as an ignition switch. By the operation of the engine switch 10 by the driver, the vehicle 1 is in a state where the engine is started or the engine is stopped. Further, the operation of the engine switch 10 controls the power supply to the electronic devices mounted on the vehicle 1.

The shift lever 14 is a lever that the driver operates when changing the shift position. The movable range of the shift lever 14 is provided with, for example, a parking position, a reverse position, a neutral position, and a drive position.

When the shift lever 14 is located in the parking position, the power of the engine of the vehicle 1 is not transmitted to the wheels 3, which is a so-called parking state. When the shift lever 14 is in the reverse position, the vehicle 1 is in a state where it can move backward. When the shift lever 14 is in the drive position, the vehicle 1 is in a state where it can move forward.

The output device 16 is an example of an output device. The output device 16 includes an image display function, an audio output function, and the like. The image display function is, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an OELD (Organic Electro-Lumine Display Display). The audio output function is, for example, a speaker.

The input device 18 receives the user's operation input. The user means a person who got on the vehicle 1, and includes a driver. The input device 18 is, for example, a touch panel, a switch, a dial, a joystick, a push button, or the like. The input device 18 may be configured as a touch panel.

In the present embodiment, the vehicle 1 is equipped with the vehicle output device 20. The vehicle output device 20 is a device that can be mounted on the vehicle 1. The vehicle output device 20 provides vacant information on the parking lot of the parking lot. The vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 of the present embodiment are applied to, for example, a parking support system.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the parking support system 100.

The parking support system 100 includes a plurality of vehicles 1 and an output device 52. The output device 52 is installed in the parking lot P. The output device 52 is an example of an output device. The output device 52 includes an image display function, an audio output function, and the like. The image display function and the audio output function are the same as described above.

A vehicle output device 20 is mounted on each of the plurality of vehicles 1 included in the parking support system 100. FIG. 2 shows, as an example, a scene in which the vehicle 1A and the vehicle 1B are in a state before being parked in the parking lot P among the plurality of vehicles 1 (vehicles 1A to 1C). Further, FIG. 2 shows, as an example, a case where the vehicle 1C is parked in the parking lot P among the plurality of vehicles 1. In the parking lot P, as the vehicle 1C, for example, the case where the vehicles 1C1 to 1C11 are parked in each of the parking lots E (parking lots E1 to E11) in the parking lot P is shown as an example.

For example, suppose that the driver of the vehicle 1A is looking for a parking lot P that can be parked. In the present embodiment, the vehicle output device 20 mounted on the vehicle 1A provides the driver of the vehicle 1A with vacant information of the parking lot E of the parking lot P. The vehicle output device 20 will be described in detail.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the vehicle output device 20. The vehicle output device 20 includes a control unit 22. The control unit 22 is configured as a computer including a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The processor is not limited to one, and may be composed of a plurality of processors. Further, the memory is not limited to one, and may be prepared for each processor.

The control unit 22 includes functional units such as a specific unit 22C, a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) interface 22A, a vehicle information interface 22B, a message generation unit 22D, a wireless communication unit 22E, a message analysis unit 22F, and a parking support determination unit 22G. Be prepared.

A part or all of the above-mentioned functional parts may be a software configuration realized by the cooperation of the processor and various programs stored in the memory. Further, a part or all of the above-mentioned functional parts may have a hardware configuration realized by a dedicated circuit or the like.

The GNSS interface 22A is an interface that communicates with a measuring device mounted on its own vehicle 1 (hereinafter referred to as its own vehicle). The GNSS interface 22A acquires vehicle speed information of the own vehicle, vehicle position information of the own vehicle, and the like from the measuring device. The measuring device is, for example, a speedometer that measures the rotation speed and the rotation speed of the wheel 3, and a position measuring device that uses a technique such as GPS (Global Positioning System).

The vehicle information interface 22B is an interface for communicating with electronic devices mounted on the own vehicle. The vehicle information interface 22B acquires vehicle information of its own vehicle from an electronic device. The vehicle information includes, for example, shift position information, engine state information, navigation information, and the like.

The shift position information is information indicating whether the shift lever 14 is located in the parking position, the reverse position, the neutral position, or the drive position. The vehicle information interface 22B receives shift position information from, for example, an electronic device that detects the position information of the shift lever 14.

The engine state information is information indicating the start or stop of the engine of the own vehicle. For example, the engine state information is engine start information or engine stop information. The vehicle information interface 22B receives engine state information from an electronic device that detects the engine state. This electronic device outputs engine start information to the vehicle information interface 22B when the own vehicle changes from the engine stop state to the engine start state by, for example, the operation of the engine switch 10 by the driver. Further, this electronic device outputs engine stop information to the vehicle information interface 22B when the vehicle 1 changes from the engine start state to the engine stop state by, for example, the operation of the engine switch 10 by the driver.

The navigation information is information generated by the navigation system mounted on the own vehicle. The navigation information includes, for example, a destination input by the driver of the vehicle 1, map information including a range from the destination to the current position, position information of the parking lot P, and the like. The vehicle information interface 22B receives navigation information from the navigation system.

The specific unit 22C performs notification processing and availability wait determination processing.

Specifically, the specific unit 22C sends notification information including the vehicle speed information of the own vehicle, the vehicle position information of the own vehicle, and the vehicle information of the own vehicle, received from the GNSS interface 22A and the vehicle information interface 22B, as a message generation unit. Performs notification processing to notify 22D. When power is supplied to each part of the device such as the electronic device mounted on the vehicle 1, the GNSS interface 22A and the vehicle information interface 22B provide the vehicle speed information of the own vehicle, the vehicle position information of the own vehicle, and the vehicle information of the own vehicle. We will continue to accept from electronic devices. Each time the specific unit 22C receives these information from the GNSS interface 22A and the vehicle information interface 22B, the specific unit 22C notifies the message generation unit 22D of the notification information including the received information.

The vacancy waiting determination process by the specific unit 22C will be described later.

The message generation unit 22D uses the notification information received from the specific unit 22C to generate a message to be transmitted to another vehicle. The message is an example of other vehicle information.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of the message 30. The message 30 includes a vehicle ID, a vehicle position information, a vehicle speed information, an engine state information, and a shift position information. The vehicle ID is identification information of the vehicle 1 that is the source of the message 30. The vehicle position information, vehicle speed information, engine state information, and shift position information included in the message 30 are information on the vehicle 1 identified by the vehicle ID.

The message 30 may further include other information. Further, the message 30 may have at least a configuration including a vehicle ID, a vehicle position information, a vehicle speed information, an engine state information, and a shift position information, and may have a message configuration used in known vehicle-vehicle communication.

When the engine of the own vehicle is started, the message generation unit 22D repeatedly executes message generation.

The wireless communication unit 22E transmits the message generated by the message generation unit 22D at predetermined time intervals (for example, 100 ms) by performing road-to-vehicle communication or vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Further, the wireless communication unit 22E receives a message transmitted from another vehicle by performing road-to-vehicle communication or vehicle-to-vehicle communication. The message transmitted from another vehicle is an example of other vehicle information. The structure of the message transmitted from the other vehicle is the same as the structure of the message generated by the message generation unit 22D.

The message analysis unit 22F analyzes a message received by the wireless communication unit 22E from another vehicle. The message analysis unit 22F outputs the message to the parking support determination unit 22G each time the wireless communication unit 22E receives a message that is information on another vehicle.

The parking support determination unit 22G is a functional unit that determines the parking support of the own vehicle. The parking support determination unit 22G includes a prediction unit 22H and an output control unit 22I.

The prediction unit 22H predicts the possibility of leaving the other vehicle parked in the parking lot P based on the other vehicle information and the position information of the parking lot P, which are messages received from the other vehicle.

Specifically, the prediction unit 22H receives the vehicle position information of the other vehicle, the engine state information of the other vehicle, and the shift position information of the other vehicle included in the message received from the other vehicle from the message analysis unit 22F.

Further, the prediction unit 22H receives the determination result of the vacancy waiting determination process from the specific unit 22C.

The vacancy waiting determination process by the specific unit 22C will be described. The vacant waiting determination process is a process of determining whether or not the own vehicle is in the vacant waiting state of the parking lot P.

For example, the specific unit 22C determines that the own vehicle is in the vacant waiting state of the parking lot P when the vehicle speed of the own vehicle is equal to or less than the threshold value. The threshold value may be set in advance.

Further, when it is determined that the input of the output instruction of the parking lot vacant section is received from the input device 18, the specific unit 22C determines that the own vehicle is in the vacant waiting state of the parking lot P. When the driver wishes to provide the vacant information of the parking lot E, he / she may operate the input device 18 to instruct the output of the vacant parking lot. When the input device 18 receives the operation, the input device 18 may notify the control unit 22 of a signal indicating the input of the output instruction of the parking lot vacant section. When the specific unit 22C receives the signal, it may determine that it has received the input of the output instruction of the parking lot vacant section.

Further, the specific unit 22C may determine whether or not the own vehicle is in a vacant waiting state with respect to the parking lot P scheduled to be parked.

The parking lot P to be parked is, for example, an input of an output instruction of a parking lot P existing within a predetermined range from the current position of the vehicle 1, a parking lot P existing at a preset destination, or an empty parking lot section. Is at least one of the parking lots P, which exist in the vicinity of the own vehicle when the vehicle is received.

In this case, the specific unit 22C may determine that the parking lot P scheduled to be parked is in a waiting state when the parking lot P scheduled to be parked exists within a predetermined range from the current position of the vehicle 1. Further, the specific unit 22C accepts an input of an output instruction of the vehicle speed of the own vehicle or less than the threshold value or an empty section of the parking lot, and further, there is a parking lot P scheduled to be parked within a predetermined range from the current position of the vehicle 1. In this case, it may be determined that the parking lot P to be parked is in a waiting state.

The specific unit 22C may specify the parking lot P where the own vehicle is scheduled to park by, for example, the following processing.

For example, it is assumed that the parking lot P in which the own vehicle is scheduled to be parked is a parking lot P existing within a predetermined range from the current position of the vehicle 1. In this case, the specific unit 22C uses the vehicle position information of the own vehicle received from the GNSS interface 22A, the map information included in the navigation information received from the vehicle information interface 22B, and the position information of the parking lot P. Then, the specifying unit 22C uses these information to specify the parking lot P existing within a predetermined range from the position indicated by the vehicle position information of the own vehicle in the map information as the parking lot P to be parked. Just do it.

Further, for example, it is assumed that the parking lot P in which the own vehicle is scheduled to be parked is a parking lot P existing in the vicinity when the input of the output instruction of the parking lot vacant lot is received. In this case, the specific unit 22C receives the vehicle position information of the own vehicle received from the GNSS interface 22A when receiving the input of the output instruction of the parking lot vacant lot, and the map information included in the navigation information received from the vehicle information interface 22B. And the location information of the parking lot P are used. Then, the specifying unit 22C uses these information to specify the parking lot P existing within a predetermined range from the position indicated by the vehicle position information of the own vehicle in the map information as the parking lot P to be parked. Just do it.

Further, for example, it is assumed that the parking lot P in which the own vehicle is scheduled to be parked is a parking lot P existing at a preset destination. In this case, the specific unit 22C specifies the destination information, the map information, and the position information of the parking lot P included in the navigation information. Then, the specifying unit 22C may use these information to specify the parking lot P existing within a predetermined range from the position indicated by the destination information in the map information as the parking lot P to be parked. ..

Then, the specific unit 22C accepts an input of an output instruction of the vehicle speed of the own vehicle or less than the threshold value or an empty section of the parking lot, and further, the specified parking lot P to be parked is within a predetermined range from the current position of the vehicle 1. When there is a parking lot P scheduled to be parked in, it may be determined that the parking lot P scheduled to be parked is in a waiting state.

When the judgment result received from the specific unit 22C indicates that the own vehicle is in the vacant waiting state of the parking lot P, the prediction unit 22H of the parking support determination unit 22G leaves the other vehicle parked in the parking lot P. Predict the possibility. The possibility of leaving the parking lot means the possibility that another vehicle will leave the parking lot E of the parking lot P currently parked. The other vehicle is a vehicle 1 other than the own vehicle.

Specifically, the prediction unit 22H identifies the parking lot P where the own vehicle is scheduled to park. The prediction unit 22H may specify the parking lot P to be parked in the same manner as the specific unit 22C.

Further, the prediction unit 22H obtains the vehicle position information of the other vehicle, the engine state information of the other vehicle, and the shift position information of the other vehicle, which are included in the other vehicle information which is a message received from the other vehicle, from the message analysis unit 22F. get.

The prediction unit 22H extracts a message indicating that the vehicle position information is within the range of the parking lot P to be parked from the messages that are other vehicle information received via the wireless communication unit 22E and the message analysis unit 22F. The extraction process may be performed by the message analysis unit 22F. By this extraction process, the prediction unit 22H extracts a message received from the vehicle 1 located in the parking lot P to be parked.

Then, when the engine state information included in the extracted message is the engine start information, the prediction unit 22H predicts that the vehicle 1 identified by the vehicle ID included in the message may be delivered.

It should be noted that the prediction unit 22H predicts that when a message is received that the included vehicle position information indicates the range of the parking lot P to be parked, another vehicle that is the source of the message may leave the parking lot. good.

As described above, the message generation unit 22D repeatedly executes message generation when the engine of the own vehicle is started. That is, the message generation unit 22D mounted on the other vehicle also repeats the message generation and the transmission of the message by vehicle-vehicle communication or road-to-vehicle communication when the engine of the other vehicle is started. Therefore, when the prediction unit 22H receives a message indicating that the included vehicle position information is within the range of the parking lot P to be parked, the prediction unit 22H predicts that another vehicle that is the source of the message may leave the parking lot. May be good.

Further, the prediction unit 22H may predict whether or not there is a possibility of leaving the goods based on the shift position information. In this case, the prediction unit 22H analyzes a message indicating that the included vehicle position information is within the range of the parking lot P to be parked. The prediction unit 22H analyzes the messages that are sequentially acquired over time. Then, the message generation unit 22D determines whether or not the shift position information included in the message has changed from the information indicating that it is located in the parking position to the information indicating that it is located in the drive position or the reverse position. .. By this process, the prediction unit 22H determines that the shift position of the other vehicle from which the message is transmitted has been changed from the parking position to the drive position or the reverse position. When the message generation unit 22D determines this change, it may predict that another vehicle specified by the other vehicle information may leave the garage.

When the prediction unit 22H predicts that there is a possibility of leaving the garage, the output control unit 22I outputs information indicating that there is another vehicle scheduled to be warehousing and output information including the parking lot E of the other vehicle.

Specifically, the output control unit 22I identifies the vehicle position information included in the message received from another vehicle predicted by the prediction unit 22H that there is a possibility of leaving the vehicle. Then, the output control unit 22I specifies the position indicated by the vehicle position information of the other vehicle in the parking lot P where the own vehicle is scheduled to be parked as the parking lot E of the other vehicle.

Then, the output control unit 22I generates output information including the specified parking section E of the other vehicle and information indicating that there is another vehicle scheduled to be delivered. The output control unit 22I generates at least one of an image and an audio indicating output information. For example, the output control unit 22I generates a display screen showing output information.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing an example of the display screen 40. The display screen 40 is an image display screen showing the output information 42. For example, the output information 42 includes an image 42B showing a parking lot P scheduled to be parked and an image 42E showing a parking lot E of another vehicle scheduled to be released. FIG. 5 shows a case where the parking lot E1 is the parking lot E of another vehicle scheduled to be delivered as an example.

Further, the display screen 40 includes an enlarged image 42C which is an enlarged view of the parking lot P. The enlarged image 42C includes an image 42D showing a list of parking lots E in the parking lot P, an image 42E showing a parking lot E1 of another vehicle scheduled to be released, and an image 42F showing a route to the parking lot E1. included.

The output control unit 22I generates, for example, a display screen 40 showing the output information 42 and displays it on the output device 16 of the own vehicle. The output control unit 22I may display the generated display screen 40 on the output device 52 installed in the parking lot P to be parked. Further, the output control unit 22I may display the display screen 40 on both the output device 16 and the output device 52.

Further, the output control unit 22I may generate a voice indicating the output information 42 and output it from at least one of the output device 16 and the output device 52.

The display screen 40 may be a screen that outputs information step by step. For example, the display screen 40 will be described assuming that the display screen 40 is displayed on the output device 16 of the own vehicle. The output control unit 22I displays, for example, a display screen 40 that does not include the enlarged image 42C on the output device 16. When the user operates the display area of the image 42B of the parking lot P, the output control unit 22I may display the enlarged image 42C. Further, the output control unit 22I may control to further output the sound indicating the output information 42 when the display area of the image 42B representing the parking lot P is operated.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the own vehicle is the vehicle 1A. Further, it is assumed that the vehicle 1A is waiting for the parking lot P to become available. In this case, the output information 42 is output to at least one of the output device 16 of the vehicle 1A and the output device 52 of the parking lot P to be parked. Therefore, the vehicle output device 20 of the present embodiment can provide the driver of the vehicle 1A with the output information 42 including the presence of another vehicle scheduled to be delivered and the parking section E of the other vehicle.

Although the case where the own vehicle is the vehicle 1A has been described with reference to FIG. 2, when the other vehicle 1 (vehicle 1B, vehicle 1C) is provided with the vehicle output device 20, the same control as described above is performed for each vehicle. It shall be performed in each of 1.

Next, the information processing executed by the vehicle output device 20 will be described.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the message transmission process executed by the vehicle output device 20.

The message generation unit 22D generates a message 30 using the notification information received from the GNSS interface 22A and the vehicle information interface 22B via the specific unit 22C (step S100). The wireless communication unit 22E transmits the message generated by the message generation unit 22D by performing road-to-vehicle communication or vehicle-to-vehicle communication (step S102). Then, the process returns to step S100.

The vehicle output device 20 mounted on the vehicle 1 repeatedly executes the processes of steps S100 to S102 when the power supply to the electronic device of the vehicle 1 is started or when the engine is started. Therefore, the vehicle output device 20 transmits a message at predetermined time intervals (for example, 100 ms) by road-to-vehicle communication or vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a flow of message reception processing executed by the vehicle output device 20.

The wireless communication unit 22E receives a message generated by another vehicle by performing road-to-vehicle communication or vehicle-to-vehicle communication (step S200). Each time the wireless communication unit 22E receives a message, the wireless communication unit 22E outputs the received message to the message analysis unit 22F. Then, the wireless communication unit 22E repeats the message reception process.

When the power supply to the electronic device of the vehicle 1 is disclosed, the vehicle output device 20 mounted on the vehicle 1 repeatedly executes the process of step S200. Therefore, the vehicle output device 20 receives a message from another vehicle at predetermined time intervals (for example, 100 ms) by road-to-vehicle communication or vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

Next, an example of the flow of vehicle output processing executed by the vehicle output device 20 will be described.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a flow of vehicle output processing executed by the vehicle output device 20.

The specific unit 22C determines whether or not the own vehicle is in the vacant waiting state of the parking lot P (step S300). The specific unit 22C repeats a negative determination (step S300: No) until it determines that it is in a free waiting state (step S300: Yes). When the specific unit 22C determines that it is in a free waiting state (step S300: Yes), it proceeds to step S302.

In step S302, the prediction unit 22H predicts the possibility of leaving the other vehicle parked in the parking lot P based on the message 30 received from the other vehicle and the position information of the parking lot P where the own vehicle is scheduled to park. (Step S302).

When the prediction unit 22H predicts that there is no possibility of leaving the goods (step S304: No), the process returns to step S300. When the prediction unit 22H predicts that there is a possibility of delivery (step S304: Yes), the process proceeds to step S306.

In step S306, the output control unit 22I generates output information 42 including information indicating that there is another vehicle scheduled to be delivered and parking section E of the other vehicle (step S306). Then, the output control unit 22I outputs the output information 42 generated in step S306 to at least one of the output device 16 and the output device 52 of the parking lot P to be parked (step S308). Then, the process returns to step S300.

As described above, the vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 of the present embodiment receive the message 30, which is other vehicle information including the vehicle position information of the other vehicle, by road-to-vehicle communication or vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Further, the vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 predict the possibility of leaving another vehicle parked in the parking lot P based on the message 30 and the position information of the parking lot P. Then, when the vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 predict that there is a possibility of leaving the vehicle, the vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 output output information 42 including the presence of another vehicle scheduled to be released and the parking lot E of the other vehicle.

Here, in the conventional technique, the congestion status of the parking lot is provided, but the vacancy information of the parking lot E is not provided. Further, in the prior art, in order to provide the congestion status, a congestion status management device installed for each parking lot P and a mobile terminal of the vehicle owner are required.

On the other hand, in the vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 of the present embodiment, the delivery of another vehicle parked in the parking lot P is based on the message 30 received by the road-to-vehicle communication or the vehicle-to-vehicle communication and the position information of the parking lot P. Predict the possibility. Then, the vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 output the output information 42 including the presence of another vehicle scheduled to be delivered and the parking section E of the other vehicle.

Therefore, the vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 of the present embodiment can provide the vacant information of the parking lot E.

Further, in the vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 of the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the vacancy information of the parking lot E without using the congestion status management device installed for each parking lot P and the mobile terminal of the vehicle owner. can. Therefore, the vehicle 1 and the vehicle output device 20 of the present embodiment can provide the vacant information of the parking lot E with a simple configuration and high accuracy.

It should be noted that the above-described embodiment can be appropriately modified and implemented by changing a part of the configuration or function of the vehicle 1. Therefore, in the following, some modifications according to the above-described embodiment will be described as other embodiments.
