2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as an application program that can be used on a portable terminal such as a smart phone, an application program that remotely operates an air conditioning system of a vehicle has become popular. When a terminal installed with such an application program is operated to activate the air conditioning system of the vehicle, the terminal transmits a request for activation of the air conditioning system to the server device. The server device that has received the operation request transmits a command for operating the air conditioning system to the vehicle linked to the requesting terminal. In the vehicle that has received the command, the air conditioning system is shifted from a stopped state (OFF state) to an operating state (ON state), and the interior (cabin) of the vehicle is air-conditioned. As described above, according to so-called remote air-conditioning, in which a terminal such as a smartphone is used to remotely operate the air-conditioning system of the vehicle, before the user gets in the vehicle, the environment in the vehicle compartment is adjusted according to the user's preference. can be done. The "server device" here is a device that manages vehicles through mobile communication or the like, and is operated by, for example, a vehicle manufacturer or a company entrusted by the manufacturer.

By the way, when the user temporarily leaves the vehicle while away from home or the like, a situation may arise in which a fellow passenger is left behind in the passenger compartment. At that time, if the user turns off the ignition switch of the vehicle and takes out the key of the vehicle, the passenger left behind in the passenger compartment cannot operate the air conditioning system. Furthermore, if a fellow passenger left behind in the passenger compartment does not have a means of communication such as a mobile phone, he/she cannot request the user to remotely operate the air conditioning system. As a result, the environment of the passenger compartment may become an environment that is uncomfortable for the fellow passenger or an environment that adversely affects the physical condition of the fellow passenger. On the other hand, if the passenger is left behind in the passenger compartment and the temperature of the passenger compartment is out of the predetermined temperature range, a method of automatically notifying the terminal of the user to that effect is conceivable. However, since there are individual differences in the temperature at which fellow passengers feel hot or cold, even if the temperature of the passenger compartment is within the above temperature range, the passenger who is left behind may feel uncomfortable or feel unwell. There is a possibility of collapsing. Therefore, it is desirable to improve the convenience of remote air-conditioning by taking measures to prompt the user to remotely operate the air-conditioning system at any timing desired by the passenger left behind in the passenger compartment.

Therefore, in the information processing device according to the present disclosure, the control unit detects operation of a predetermined switch provided in the vehicle compartment. The predetermined switch is a switch that can be arbitrarily operated by a fellow passenger of the vehicle. Such predetermined switches may be provided around each seat (eg, door trim, roof lining, etc.) other than the driver's seat. Also, the predetermined switch may be, for example, a push-button type switch that can be easily operated by a child or an elderly person. When the passenger's operation of a predetermined switch is detected, the control unit transmits to the terminal of the user information prompting the user to perform a remote operation for operating the air conditioning system. As a result, when the user is away from the vehicle, it is possible to make the user aware that a fellow passenger is left behind in the vehicle, and to prompt the user to remotely operate the air conditioning system. be able to.

Therefore, according to the information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure, it is possible to prompt the user located outside the vehicle to remotely operate the air conditioning system at any timing desired by the passenger left behind in the vehicle. It becomes possible to improve the convenience of remote air conditioning.

Note that the information processing device according to the present disclosure may be applied to a device mounted on a vehicle. In this case, the control unit may transmit information for prompting a user such as a driver to perform a remote operation to activate the air conditioning system to the user's terminal via the server device.

Also, the information processing device according to the present disclosure may be applied to a server device. In this case, the server device may detect the operation of the predetermined switch by transmitting information indicating that the predetermined switch has been operated from the vehicle to the server device.

<Embodiment>
Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the configuration described in the present embodiment is an example, and does not limit the configuration of the present disclosure.

(System configuration)
In this embodiment, an example in which the present disclosure is applied to a system that implements remote air conditioning (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "remote air conditioning system") will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a remote air conditioning system according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the remote air conditioning system includes a vehicle 1, a user terminal 200, and a server device 300.

The vehicle 1 is an ICEV (Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle), HV (Hybrid Vehicle), PHV (Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle), or EV (Electric Vehicle), and is driven by a driving user. The vehicle 1 is equipped with an air conditioning system 10 that performs air conditioning (for example, cooling, heating, etc.) of the passenger compartment. Such a vehicle 1 has a function of controlling the air conditioning system 10 according to commands from the server device 300 . Further, the vehicle 1 in this example has a function of transmitting a proposal request to the server device 300 when a contact button 11, which will be described later, is operated by a fellow passenger. A fellow passenger user is a user other than the driving user who is riding in the vehicle 1 . A proposal request is a signal for requesting transmission of proposal information from server device 300 to user terminal 200 . The proposal information is information for prompting the operating user to perform a remote operation to operate the air conditioning system 10 .

The user terminal 200 is a computer used by the driving user. For example, the user terminal 200 is a small computer that can be carried by the user, such as an electronic smart key (portable device), a smart phone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, or a wearable computer (smart watch, etc.). The user terminal 200 may be a terminal used by a user other than the driving user who has the right to use or own the vehicle 1 . An application program for using remote air conditioning is installed in the user terminal 200 . Such a user terminal 200 has a function of receiving a remote operation by a driving user and transmitting operation information indicating the content of the operation to the server device 300 . In addition, the user terminal 200 in this example also has a function of presenting to the driving user information prompting a remote operation for operating the air conditioning system 10 when proposal information is received from the server device 300 .

The server device 300 associates the user terminal 200 with the vehicle 1 to which the driving user who uses the user terminal 200 has the right of use or ownership. For example, when the server device 300 receives the operation information from the user terminal 200, the server device 300 transmits a command according to the operation content indicated by the operation information to the vehicle 1 linked to the user terminal 200. Further, when receiving a proposal request from the vehicle 1 , the server device 300 transmits proposal information to the user terminal 200 linked to the vehicle 1 . Note that, when receiving the proposal request from the vehicle 1 , the server device 300 may transmit the proposal information to the user terminal 200 on condition that the driving user is away from the vehicle 1 . That is, if the driving user is positioned near the vehicle 1 when the proposal request from the vehicle 1 is received, the server device 300 may not transmit the proposal information to the user terminal 200. . This is because, if the driving user is located near the vehicle 1, the fellow passenger can verbally request the driving user to operate the air conditioning system 10. FIG. A determination as to whether the driving user is away from the vehicle 1 may be made by comparing the position information of the user terminal 200 and the position information of the vehicle 1 . At that time, if the distance between the position of the user terminal 200 and the position of the vehicle 1 is greater than a predetermined distance (the distance at which the driving user can see the entire vehicle interior (for example, several tens of centimeters to about 1 meter)) , it is determined that the driving user is away from the vehicle 1, and if the distance between the position of the user terminal 200 and the position of the vehicle 1 is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, even if it is determined that the driving user is not away from the vehicle 1. good.

In the remote air-conditioning system described above, for example, when the operating user remotely operates the user terminal 200 to operate the air-conditioning system 10 , operation information including the details of the operation is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the server device 300 . In the server device 300 that has received the operation information, the vehicle 1 linked to the user terminal 200 is identified, and a command (operating command) for operating the air conditioning system 10 is transmitted to the identified vehicle 1. be done. In the vehicle 1 that has received the operation command, the air conditioning system 10 is shifted from a stopped state (OFF state) to an operating state (ON state). Thereby, before the user gets into the vehicle 1, the passenger compartment can be kept at a comfortable temperature in advance.

Further, in the remote air-conditioning system in this example, when the fellow passenger of the vehicle 1 operates the contact button 11 , a proposal request is transmitted from the vehicle 1 to the server device 300 . Upon receiving the proposal request, the server device 300 identifies the user terminal 200 linked to the vehicle 1 and transmits the proposal information to the identified user terminal 200 . At the user terminal 200 that has received the proposal information, the driving user is presented with information prompting a remote operation for operating the air conditioning system 10 of the vehicle 1 . When the driving user who has received such a presentation performs a remote operation for operating the air conditioning system 10 on the user terminal 200, the operation information is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the server device 300 and from the server device 300 to the vehicle 1. is sequentially transmitted, the air conditioning system 10 of the vehicle 1 is shifted from the stopped state to the operating state. As a result, when the driving user is away from the vehicle 1, the passenger compartment can be kept at a comfortable temperature even if the passenger is left behind in the passenger compartment.

When the vehicle 1 is an ICEV, HV, or PHV equipped with an internal combustion engine, the heating device is a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between cooling water circulating in the internal combustion engine and air for heating. and an on-off valve for blocking or conducting the flow of cooling water from the internal combustion engine to the heat exchanger. Also, the cooling device includes, for example, an electric compressor for compressing the refrigerant, a condenser for cooling the refrigerant compressed by the compressor, and a receiver for temporarily storing the refrigerant cooled by the condenser. It includes a dryer, an expansion valve for atomizing the refrigerant, and an evaporator for exchanging heat between the cooling air and the refrigerant. If the vehicle 1 is an ICEV, HV, or PHV, the compressor for compressing the refrigerant may be configured to operate using the output of the internal combustion engine. Such an air conditioning system 10 is controlled by an ECU 100 .

The contact button 11 is a push-button type switch that can be arbitrarily operated by the fellow passenger. The contact button 11 in this example makes the driving user who is away from the vehicle 1 recognize that the fellow passenger is left behind in the vehicle room, and prompts the remote operation for operating the air conditioning system 10. This button is operated for the purpose of Such a contact button 11 is desirably arranged at a position where it is easy for the fellow passenger to operate. Accordingly, the contact button 11 may be arranged in the door trim, roof lining, or the like around the passenger's seat. In that case, the contact button 11 may be arranged for each seat other than the driver's seat. In this example, when the contact button 11 is operated (pressed), an ON signal is input from the contact button 11 to the ECU 100 .

(ECU hardware configuration)
Here, the hardware configuration of the ECU 100 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The ECU 100 is a microcomputer for controlling various devices mounted on the vehicle 1 . Such an ECU 100 has a processor 101 , a main memory section 102 and an auxiliary memory section 103 . The processor 101, main memory unit 102, and auxiliary memory unit 103 are connected to each other by a bus. The main storage unit 102 and the auxiliary storage unit 103 are computer-readable recording media. The hardware configuration of the ECU 100 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 2, and components may be omitted, replaced, or added as appropriate. In the ECU 100, the processor 101 loads a program stored in the auxiliary storage unit 103 into the work area of the main storage unit 102 and executes the program, and realizes a function that meets a predetermined purpose through the execution of the program.

The processor 101 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a DSP (Digital Signal Processor). The processor 101 controls the ECU 100 and performs various information processing operations.

The main storage unit 102 is a computer-readable recording medium. The main storage unit 102 includes, for example, RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory). In the main storage unit 102, as described above, a work area is set for the processor 101 to execute the program.

The auxiliary storage unit 103 is a computer-readable recording medium. The auxiliary storage unit 103 includes, for example, EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM) or HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The auxiliary storage unit 103 stores various programs, various data, and various tables in a recording medium in a readable and writable manner. The programs stored in the auxiliary storage unit 103 include an OS (Operating System) and a program for implementing functions related to remote air conditioning. Part or all of the information stored in the auxiliary storage section 103 may be stored in the main storage section 102 .

A series of processes executed by the ECU 100 configured as described above can be executed by hardware, but can also be executed by software.

(ECU functional configuration)
Next, the functional configuration of the ECU 100 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the ECU 100 in this example includes, as its functional components, a detection unit F110, a communication processing unit F120, and an air conditioning control unit F130. The detection unit F110, the communication processing unit F120, and the air conditioning control unit F130 are realized by the processor 101 of the ECU 100 executing a program related to remote air conditioning stored in the auxiliary storage unit 103. FIG. Any one of the detection unit F110, the communication processing unit F120, and the air conditioning control unit F130, or a part thereof, may be formed by a hardware circuit.

The detection unit F110 detects an operation of the contact button 11 by the fellow passenger. Specifically, the detection unit F110 detects an operation of the contact button 11 by the fellow passenger when an ON signal is input from the contact button 11 to the ECU 100 . The detection unit F110 notifies the communication processing unit F120 that the operation of the contact button 11 has been detected.

The communication processing unit F<b>120 transmits a proposal request to the server device 300 , triggered by detection of the operation of the contact button 11 . Specifically, when the detection unit F110 detects that the contact button 11 has been operated, the communication processing unit F120 determines that the ignition switch (or power switch) is in the OFF state and the air conditioning system 10 is in the stopped state (OFF state). ). If the ignition switch is in the OFF state and the air conditioning system 10 is in the stopped state, the communication processing unit F120 transmits the proposal request to the server device 300 through the communication unit 12. FIG. The proposal request is a signal for requesting transmission of proposal information from server apparatus 300 to user terminal 200, as described above. When the detection unit F110 detects the operation of the contact button 11, if the ignition switch is in the ON state and/or the air conditioning system 10 is in the operating state (ON state), the communication processing unit F120 makes a proposal to the server device 300. Do not send requests. This is because when the ignition switch is in the ON state, the fellow passenger can operate the air conditioning system 10 by operating an air conditioning switch or dial provided in the vehicle. Also, if the air conditioning system 10 is already in operation, it is not necessary to operate the air conditioning system 10 by remote operation.

After the proposal request is transmitted, when the communication unit 12 receives an operation command from the server device 300, the operation command is transmitted from the communication unit 12 to the ECU 100 through the in-vehicle network. When the operation command from server device 300 is received by ECU 100 in this manner, communication processing unit F120 passes the operation command to air conditioning control unit F130.

The air conditioning control unit F130 shifts the air conditioning system 10 from the stopped state to the operating state according to the operation command. When the air-conditioning system 10 is configured to cool or heat the passenger compartment using the output or exhaust heat of the internal combustion engine, such as when the vehicle 1 is an ICEV, the air-conditioning control unit F130 The internal combustion engine is started, and after the internal combustion engine is completely started, the air conditioning system 10 is shifted from the stopped state to the operating state.

(Processing flow)
Next, the flow of processing performed by the ECU 100 in this embodiment will be described based on FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing routine executed by the ECU 100 triggered by the contact button 11 being operated. 4 is executed by the processor 101 of the ECU 100, the functional components will be mainly described for convenience.

In FIG. 4, when the contact button 11 is operated, an ON signal is input from the contact button 11 to the ECU 100, so that the detection unit F110 of the ECU 100 detects the operation of the contact button 11 (step S101). In this case, the detection unit F110 notifies the communication processing unit F120 that the contact button 11 has been operated. The communication processing unit F120 executes the process of step S102 with the notification as a trigger.

In step S102, the communication processing unit F120 of the ECU 100 determines whether the ignition switch of the vehicle 1 is in the OFF state (IGOFF) and the air conditioning system 10 is in the stopped state (air conditioning OFF). At that time, if the ignition switch is in the ON state and/or the air conditioning system 10 is in the ON state (negative determination in step S102), the execution of this processing routine ends. On the other hand, if the ignition switch is off and the air conditioning system 10 is off (affirmative determination in step S102), the process of step S103 is executed.

In step S<b>103 , the communication processing unit F<b>120 transmits the proposal request to the server device 300 through the communication unit 12 . The proposal request is a signal for requesting transmission of proposal information from server apparatus 300 to user terminal 200, as described above.

Here, the server device 300 that has received the proposal request from the vehicle 1 identifies the user terminal 200 linked to the vehicle 1, and transmits the proposal information to the identified user terminal 200. FIG. At the user terminal 200 that has received the proposal information, the driving user is presented with information prompting a remote operation for operating the air conditioning system 10 of the vehicle 1 . For example, in the user terminal 200, a screen as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on a touch panel display or the like by a remote air conditioning application program. That is, a message (see D1) and a button (D2 in FIG. 5) for remotely operating the air conditioning system 10 is displayed on the touch panel display of the user terminal 200 or the like. The driving user sees a screen such as that shown in FIG. can recognize that When the operating user who recognizes these items touches a button for remotely operating the air conditioning system 10 on the screen shown in FIG. The operation information in this case is information indicating that an operation for operating the air conditioning system 10 has been performed. In the server device 300 that has received such operation information, the vehicle 1 linked to the user terminal 200 is specified, and an operation command is transmitted to the specified vehicle 1 .

Here, returning to FIG. 4, the communication processing unit F120 executes the process of step S104 after completing the process of step S103 described above. In step S104, the communication processing unit F120 determines whether the communication unit 12 has received an operation command within a predetermined period of time after the proposal request is transmitted. The predetermined time is several minutes (for example, about 2 to 5 minutes). In addition, the time required from the transmission of the proposal request to the receipt of the operation command is determined in advance based on the results of experiments, simulations, etc., and the time obtained by adding a predetermined margin to the determined time is a predetermined time. can be set to Here, if the communication unit 12 does not receive the operation command within a predetermined period of time after the proposal request is transmitted (step S1
04), the communication processing unit F120 executes the processes of steps S103 and S104 again. Note that if a negative determination is made in step S104, the execution of this processing routine may be ended. In that case, the fellow passenger may operate the contact button 11 again. Further, if the communication unit 12 receives an operation command within a predetermined period of time from the transmission of the proposal request (affirmative determination in step S104), the process of step S105 is executed.

In step S105, the air conditioning control unit F130 operates the air conditioning system 10. FIG. That is, the air conditioning control unit F130 shifts the air conditioning system 10 from the stopped state to the operating state. When the air-conditioning system 10 is configured to cool or heat the vehicle interior using the output or exhaust heat of the internal combustion engine, the air-conditioning control unit F130 starts the internal combustion engine. After completion, the air conditioning system 10 may be shifted from the stopped state to the operating state.

According to the processing routine of FIG. 4, when the driving user turns off the ignition and leaves the vehicle 1, the passenger who is left behind in the vehicle operates the contact button 11 to notify the driving user of the vehicle. can be made to recognize that the fellow passenger is left behind, and can be prompted to operate the air conditioning system 10 by remote operation. As a result, even if the driving user takes out the key of the vehicle 1 when leaving the vehicle 1, or if the fellow passenger who is left behind in the vehicle does not have a means of communication such as a mobile phone, the fellow passenger can It is also possible to operate the air conditioning system 10 at any desired timing. Therefore, the convenience of remote air conditioning can be improved.
