Note that the information processing apparatus 10 may accept a reservation for a rental car or the like from the user on a website for reservation of a rental car or the like or at the lending/return terminal 20 . Further, when accepting a reservation from the user terminal 40 , the information processing apparatus 10 may distribute a two-dimensional barcode in which the rental ID is encoded or a character string of the reservation ID to the user terminal 40 .

In step S101, the information processing apparatus 10 confirms the content of the rental application (reservation) made by the user. Here, for example, when the lending ID is read by the two-dimensional barcode reader 21 or the like of the lending/returning terminal 20, the information processing device 10 stores the user DB (database) 601 and the lending DB 701 based on the lending ID. You may acquire the reservation content registered. Then, the information processing apparatus 10 may cause the rental/return terminal 20 to display the contents of the user's reservation, and cause the rental/return terminal 20 to receive a confirmation operation from the user.

In the example of FIG. 6, user information, rental history, and privilege information are recorded in the user DB 601 in association with user IDs. The user ID is user identification information. User information is various information about a user. User information may include, for example, the user's name, address, date of birth, driver's license number, and the like. The rental history is a history of a user renting a rental car or the like. The lending history may include a lending ID, which is lending identification information.

In the example of FIG. 8, the information processing apparatus 10 displays the user's name, the scheduled rental date and time, the scheduled return date and time, the departure store, the vehicle type, the fact that the ETC card is to be rented, etc. in the area 802 of the display screen 801 of the rental/return terminal 20. is displaying information. When the "next" button 803 is pressed by the user, the following processing is executed.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 10 performs identity verification of the user (step S102). Here, the information processing device 10 compares the face image of the user captured by the camera 23 of the lending/returning terminal 20 with the face image of the driver's license read by the driver's license reader 22 of the lending/returning terminal 20. You can also verify your identity. This makes it possible to verify the identity of the user who comes to the store to pick up a rental car or the like. Note that the information processing apparatus 10 can perform face image matching using, for example, a known technique.

Subsequently, the information processing device 10 charges the user for the fee for renting the rental car (step S103). Here, the information processing apparatus 10 calculates the rental fee based on the user's rental contents recorded in the rental DB 701 . Then, the information processing device 10 causes the rental/return terminal 20 to display information indicating the calculated rental fee. Note that the rental charge may include, for example, a commission for renting the ETC card, an insurance premium, and the like. Also, the rental charge may include the charge for products rented or sold at the rental car shop, such as child seats, baby seats, and travel pamphlets.

Subsequently, the information processing device 10 receives payment for the rental fee (step S104). Here, the information processing device 10 receives the rental fee from the user based on the information from the settlement device 24 of the rental/return terminal 20 .

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 10 outputs information indicating that the rental contract has been completed (step S105). Here, the information processing device 10 may cause the printer 25 of the rental/return terminal 20 to print the rental certificate. The information processing device 10 may also transmit the data of the loan certificate to the user terminal 40 .

Note that the user may receive the rental car key and the ETC card from the store clerk at the store where the lending/return terminal 20 is installed by presenting the received rental certificate to the store clerk. Also, the rental car may be parked in the parking lot of the store.

Subsequently, the information processing device 10 records the rental content (step S106). Here, the information processing apparatus 10 records the rental date and time in the rental DB 701 .

<<Return process>>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11, an example of the processing of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the embodiment when the rental car is returned will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of return processing of the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of the lending/returning terminal 20 according to the embodiment. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the ETC card DB 1101 according to the embodiment.

In step S201, the information processing apparatus 10 confirms the contents of rental to the user. Here, for example, when the lending ID is read by the two-dimensional barcode reader 21 or the like of the lending/returning terminal 20, the information processing device 10 is registered in the user DB 601 and the lending DB 701 based on the lending ID. You may acquire the contents of the rental. Then, the information processing apparatus 10 may cause the lending/returning terminal 20 to display the user's lending content, and allow the lending/returning terminal 20 to accept a confirmation operation from the user.

Further, the information processing apparatus 10 refers to the rental contents registered in the rental DB 701 and determines whether or not the ETC card is lent to the user. When the ETC card is not lent to the user, the information processing device 10 does not turn on the ETC card reader 26 of the lending/returning terminal 20 . On the other hand, when the ETC card is lent to the user, the information processing device 10 activates the ETC card reader 26 of the lending/returning terminal 20 . As a result, for example, power saving of the lending/returning terminal 20 can be achieved.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 10 determines the user's fee for using the ETC card or the like based on the information read from the ETC card (step S202). Here, the information processing apparatus 10 calculates the fee for the rental car or the like based on the user's rental contents recorded in the rental DB 701 .

10, the information processing apparatus 10 causes the lending/returning terminal 20 to display a display screen prompting the user to insert the ETC card into the ETC card reader 26 or the like. In the example of FIG. 10 , the information processing apparatus 10 displays an image prompting the user to set the ETC card in the ETC card reader 26 in the area 1002 of the display screen 1001 of the lending/returning terminal 20 . When the user presses the "next" button 1003, the following processing is executed.

Subsequently, the information processing device 10 bills the user for the usage fee for the ETC card, etc. (step S203). , and the period during which the ETC card has been lent to the user. In this case, the information processing device 10 determines, as the amount to be billed to the user, the total amount of the tolls during the period in which the ETC card was lent to the user, among the one or more tolls read from the ETC card. good too.

Further, when the ETC card is set (placed) in the ETC card reader 26 by the user, the information processing apparatus 10 fixes the ETC card to the ETC card reader 26 until the charge to be charged to the user is determined. You may operate the fixing mechanism which carries out. As a result, for example, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the ETC card is pulled out by the user from the ETC card reader 26 before the reading of information from the ETC card is completed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the omission of billing for the usage fee of the ETC card. In this case, for example, when the user presses the "Next" button 1003 in FIG. an electronic lock that is fixed to the

Further, the information processing device 10 superimposes on the map the route traveled by the rental car during the period when the ETC card was lent to the user and the place (position) where the toll read from the ETC card was paid. may be displayed on the lending/returning terminal 20. Thereby, for example, the user can easily recognize whether or not the toll payment by the ETC card was made by the user. In this case, the information processing device 10 may acquire information on the history of the route traveled by the rental car from the car navigation device of the rental car rented to the user, for example, through wireless communication or the like.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 10 receives payment for the usage fee of the ETC card or the like (step S204). Here, the information processing apparatus 10 receives payment from the user for the sum of the rental fee and the usage fee for the ETC card, etc., through the settlement device 24 of the lending/returning terminal 20 .

Subsequently, the information processing device 10 outputs information (receipt data) indicating that the payment of the usage fee for the ETC card or the like has been completed (step S205). Here, the information processing device 10 may transmit the receipt data to the clerk terminal 30 of the store where the ETC card was returned by the user. The information processing device 10 may cause the printer 25 of the lending/returning terminal 20 to print the receipt data.

In addition, when the route traveled by the rental car rented to the user during the period in which the ETC card was lent to the user does not match the travel date and time and travel section read from the ETC card, the information processing device 10 Information to that effect may be output. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the ETC card usage fee is not billed due to, for example, the user pulling out the ETC card from the ETC card reader 26 before the reading of information from the ETC card is completed. In this case, for example, if there is a tollgate on a toll road on the route traveled by the rental car and the payment history at the tollgate is not recorded on the ETC card, the information processing device 10 displays a message to that effect. You can output.

The user may present the output receipt to a store clerk at the store where the lending/return terminal 20 is installed, and return the rental car key and the ETC card to the store clerk. In addition, the user may return (post or store) the rental car key and the ETC card to a return device such as a return box. Also, the rental car may be parked in the parking lot of the store.

Subsequently, the information processing device 10 records the return content (step S206). Here, the information processing apparatus 10 records the return date and time in the lending DB 701 . In addition, the information processing device 10 records the history of payment by the ETC card in the ETC card DB 1101 .

In the example of FIG. 11, the ETC card DB 1101 records a payment history (an example of "information indicating the payment status of tolls") associated with a set of an ETC card ID and a user ID. The ETC card ID and user ID may be recorded by the information processing device 10 when the ETC card is lent to the user. In the example of FIG. 11, the payment history includes sets (records) of information indicating payment date/time, entrance toll gate, exit toll gate, and toll. It should be noted that the combination data of the entrance toll gate information and the exit toll gate information is an example of traffic section information.

When at least part of the toll paid during the period in which the ETC card was lent to the user is returned to the rental car company by the toll road company, the information processing device 10 returns the electronic money. A privilege corresponding to the amount of electronic money may be given to the user. As a result, for example, when the operator of the toll road can receive a service such as a discount if the use of the ETC card meets predetermined conditions, one or more users whose use of the ETC card meets the predetermined conditions , the discount amount can be returned. Therefore, for example, if at least a part (for example, 20%) of the toll is returned as electronic money at a later date due to driving through a predetermined section multiple times during a predetermined time period on weekdays, it is possible to travel the predetermined section. Benefits can be given to each user who has done so.

In this case, the information processing device 10 gives points corresponding to the amount of electronic money returned by the toll road operator (for example, 1 point equals 1 yen), and the user pays the rental fee for the next rental car service. may be available for payment of Further, the information processing device 10 may be configured to exchange the points for points of various payment services available at the user terminal 40 or the like at a predetermined ratio.

(Example of deciding which ETC card to lend to the user)
The information processing apparatus 10 may determine the ETC card to be lent to the user based on the user's past rental travel route history and the payment history of each ETC card. As a result, for example, it is possible to improve the probability that the current rental meets a predetermined condition for receiving a return or the like from a toll road operator. In this case, the information processing apparatus 10 may predict (infer) the user's travel route for the current rental by using AI, for example, based on the user's past rental travel route history. Then, the information processing apparatus 10 may determine an ETC card to be lent to the user that meets a predetermined condition for receiving a return or the like from the toll road operator on the predicted travel route.
