The operating motion data storage means 166 stores the acquired operating motion data. The operating motion data transmission means 162 transmits the operating motion data to the management server based on the determined transmission conditions. The connection management means 161 issues an alert when the wireless communication with the connected control device for the specially equipped vehicle is disconnected. The transmission condition setting means 163 sets transmission conditions for the operation data transmission means 166 . This transmission condition includes both an automatic transmission mode in which automatic transmission is performed at predetermined time intervals and an occasional transmission mode when a transmission request is received from the user.

The special-purpose vehicle management server 100 includes user-by-user operation data storage means 107 , operation status report data generation and transmission means 103 , and map data generation and transmission means 105 .

As the operating motion data, the time, the accumulated number of loading times, the accumulated number of TG rises, the PTO operating time, and the position data are stored in association with the manufacturing number. Such operating data is provided via user-worn device 160 .

In this embodiment, Windows 10 (registered trademark or trademark) is used as the operating system program (OS) 26o, but it is not limited to this.

Each of the above programs is read from the CD-ROM 25a storing the programs via the optical drive 25 and installed in the hard disk 26. FIG. In addition to the CD-ROM, a program such as a flexible disk (FD) or an IC card may be installed from a computer-readable recording medium to a hard disk. Furthermore, it may be downloaded using a communication line.

In this embodiment, by installing the program from the CD-ROM to the hard disk 26, the computer indirectly executes the program stored in the CD-ROM. However, without being limited to this, the program stored in the CD-ROM may be directly executed from the optical drive 25. FIG. In addition, the programs that can be executed by the computer include those that can be directly executed by simply installing them as they are, as well as those that need to be converted into other formats once (for example, decompressing compressed data). ), and also those that can be executed in combination with other module parts.

(3.2 Hardware configuration of user portable device 160)
User-worn device 160 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure shows an example of a hardware configuration in which the user-worn device 160 is configured using a CPU.

The user-worn device 160 has a configuration of a general smart phone, and includes a CPU 123, a memory 127, a flash memory 126, a display unit 130, a wireless communication unit 128, an operation unit 125, an audio input/output unit 124, a position information detection unit 122, a near It has a distance wireless communication unit 121 and a bus line 129 . The position information detection unit 122 is a module that detects position information by GNNS (Global Navigation Satellite System). The short-range wireless communication unit 121 performs communication according to the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard. In this embodiment, iOS (trademark) is adopted as the OS.

The CPU 123 controls each part via the bus line 129 according to each program stored in the flash memory 126 .

The flash memory 126 has an operating system program 126o (hereinafter abbreviated as OS) and a main program 126m.

The processing of the main program 126m will be described later.

In this embodiment, Bluetooth (registered trademark) is used as the short-range wireless communication unit, but it is not limited to this.

The flash memory 126 has an operation data storage section 126k and a transmission condition storage section 126d. The operating motion data in the operating motion data storage unit 26d is stored in the user-worn device 160 in the following procedure. Based on the main program 126m, the CPU 123 periodically (for example, every 30 seconds) establishes a short-range wireless connection with the vehicle-side controller 201 for the special purpose vehicle, and issues an operation data acquisition command. When the vehicle-side controller 201 of the specially-equipped vehicle receives such an acquisition command, it transmits the operation data stored in the memory (not shown in FIG. Send. When the CPU 123 receives such operating motion data, it stores it in the operating motion data storage unit 126k.

(3.3 Hardware configuration of user-side administrator terminal device 120)
The hardware configuration of the user-side administrator terminal device 120 shown in FIG. 3 is the same as that shown in FIG. 4, and the processing by the main program registered in the hard disk is different as will be described later.

4. User-specific operation data transmission process and map data display process (4.1 Operation data transmission process)
The operation data transmission process from the user-worn device 160 to the specially-equipped vehicle management server 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

In the following, the user (special vehicle operator) with user ID 1001 enters the ID and password of user ID 1001 to log in, and acquires operation data by short-distance wireless connection with the vehicle-side control device for special-purpose vehicles with production number 17R810008M. Then, a case of transmitting this to the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 will be described.

After logging in, when a short-range wireless connection is established with the vehicle-side control device 201 for the special-purpose vehicle having the production number 17R810008M, a screen such as that shown in FIG. The user clicks the transmission setting button 310 here. As a result, the transmission condition setting process shown in FIG. 8A is started.

CPU 123 of user-worn device 160 displays the transmission setting screen shown in FIG. 9B (step S1 in FIG. 8A). The user operates the periodic transmission mode frame 331 and the occasional transmission mode frame 333 to input the frequency of the periodic transmission mode and the transmission conditions of the occasional transmission mode, and selects the setting change button 335 (see FIG. 9B).

After displaying the transmission setting screen, the CPU 123 determines whether the cancel button 337 or the setting change button 335 is selected (steps S3 and S5 in FIG. 8A). In this case, since the setting change button has been pressed, the frequency of the periodic transmission mode and the occasional transmission mode are set in the selected transmission conditions (step S7). Such transmission conditions are stored in the transmission condition storage section 126d of the flash memory 126 (see FIG. 7).

Here, it is assumed that the periodical transmission mode is set to every one minute and the occasional transmission mode is set to ON.

The CPU 123 determines whether the occasional transmission mode is ON (step S8), and if it is ON, sets the transmission button 312 (see FIG. 9A) to active.

In the present embodiment, the active display is displayed by enclosing the outer frame in bold so that the user can understand that the button is selectable, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Also, when the cancel button is pressed in step S3, the transmission setting is terminated. If the occasional transmission mode is OFF in step S8, the transmission button is deactivated (step S10).

In addition, the setting is displayed on the display section 314 of the regular transmission frequency and occasional transmission mode in FIG. 9A (not shown).

As already explained, the operation data is repeatedly and automatically obtained at predetermined time intervals from the vehicle-side controller 201 of the special-purpose vehicle having the production number 17R810008M connected by short-range wireless connection. The CPU 123 of the user-worn device 160 stores this in the operation data storage section 126K (see FIG. 7). For example, in the case of a garbage truck, the operation data includes the accumulated number of times (accumulated number of loading, T/G operation number, PTO operation time), various error histories, and so on.

Processing for transmitting such operating motion data to the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 8B. In the following description, it is assumed that the user selects the occasional transmission button and transmits data, instead of the transmission timing in the periodical transmission mode.

CPU 123 of user-worn device 160 determines whether or not the periodic transmission mode is ON (step S11). In this case, since the periodic transmission mode is on, the transmission frequency is read and set.

Based on the transmission mode set in this manner, the acquired operation data is transmitted to the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 . Transmission processing will be described with reference to FIG. 8B.

Below, the operation screen (see FIG. 9A) is displayed on the user portable device 160, and the processing when the user presses the transmission setting button 310 will be described. It is also assumed that the periodic transmission mode frequency is “5 minutes” and the occasional transmission mode is “on”.

The CPU 123 of the user-worn device 160 determines whether or not the periodic transmission mode is ON (step S11). Since the periodical transmission mode is currently on, the transmission frequency is read from the flash memory 126 and set in the timer (step S12). In this case, since the periodic transmission frequency is 5 minutes, the timer is set to "5 minutes". The CPU 123 starts a timer (step S13). The CPU 123 determines whether or not the remaining time on the timer is "0" (step S15).

In this case, since the remaining time on the timer is not "0", the CPU 123 judges whether or not there is a transmission command from the control device for the specially equipped vehicle (step S17). A transmission command from the special purpose vehicle vehicle side control device will be described later.

If there is no transmission command from the special purpose vehicle control device, the CPU 123 determines whether or not the transmission button has been pressed (step S18). In this case, since the occasional transmission button has been pressed, it is determined whether short-range wireless connection is established (step S19). If the short-range wireless connection is established, the CPU 123 generates operation data by adding the current time to the operation data (accumulated number of loading times, accumulated number of TG rises, PTO operating time and position data), and manages the specially equipped vehicle. The operation data concerning the server 100 is transmitted (step S23).

If the short-range wireless connection is not established in step S19, the CPU 123 displays an alert indicating that the connection has been disconnected (step S21).

The occasional transmission command from the special purpose vehicle control device in step S17 will be described.

In the in-cabin control device UF shown in FIG. 2, the operation switches CR-SW1 to 3 or the operation switches CF-SW1 to 3 are pressed separately from regular exchange of operation data based on commands from the user portable device 160. Then, the operation data at that time (timing) is transmitted to the user-worn device 160 via the short-range wireless unit 63 . This is because these switches indicate that the mounted object K of the specially-equipped vehicle has been operated or that an error has occurred, and it is meaningful to collect the data at that time. The CPU 123 of the user-worn device 160 judges the reception of such data as a transmission command from the special-purpose vehicle control device, and executes the process of step S19 in FIG. 8B.

In this embodiment, when the operation switches CR-SW1 to 3 or the operation switches CF-SW1 to 3 are pushed, the vehicle-side control device for the specially equipped vehicle transmits the operating operation data at that time, but it is limited to this. Instead, when the switch is operated, a message to that effect may be sent to the user-worn device 160, and a command to acquire operating motion data from the user-worn device 160 may be given to the vehicle-side control device for the specially equipped vehicle.

If the periodic transmission mode is off (OFF) in step S11, the process proceeds to step S17 to determine the occasional transmission mode.

As described above, the operation data from each user portable device 160 is transmitted to the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 . Upon receiving such data, the CPU 23 of the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 stores the data in the user-by-user operation data storage unit 26 .

Further, when the periodical transmission mode is ON and the timer remaining amount is "0", the processing from step S19 onwards is executed. As a result, operation data (including position data) is periodically transmitted to the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 .

Thus, in this embodiment, the setting of the periodic transmission mode and/or the occasional transmission mode can be switched off. As a result, when communication with the specially-equipped vehicle management server 100 is difficult to establish, flexible communication settings such as disconnecting the regular transmission mode are possible.

In addition, in the occasional transmission mode, occasional transmission is possible when the operator determines that it is necessary, other than the operation of the switch of the vehicle-side control device for the specially equipped vehicle.

In this way, when the state of any of the loading switch, the tailgate up switch, or the PTO switch changes, and when the manual transmission button is pressed in the event of an error, a transmission is made at any time, and the loading device is activated. Operating operation data such as the number of times, the number of times the tailgate is lifted, PTO connection, error information, safety device activation, etc. are transmitted to the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 .

In steps S19 and S21, it is determined whether or not a short-range wireless connection is currently established, and if it is not connected, an alert is displayed. sexuality is guaranteed. For example, if the user presses the send button at any time while away from the control device for the special-purpose vehicle when an error occurs, the user-portable device does not receive the operation data at the timing when the error occurred, but the previous operation data. Operation data will be sent.

Therefore, using the data accumulated in the user-by-user operation data storage unit 26d of the special-equipped vehicle management server 100, when performing an error analysis using the operation data transmitted by the user using the send button as a guide, an incorrect analysis may occur. can be prevented.

The accumulated operating motion data can be used for various analyses, as in the conventional case.

Next, with reference to FIG. 10, processing for displaying the movement history of each specially equipped vehicle on the user side administrator terminal device based on the user-by-user operating motion data stored in the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 will be described. In the following, using the user ID 1001 used when storing the operation data in the special purpose vehicle management server 100 with the user portable device 160, the administrator of the user ID 1001 logs into the special purpose vehicle management server 100 from the user side administrator terminal device 120. Then, a case of displaying on a map the movement history of a specially equipped vehicle having a vehicle-side control device for a specially equipped vehicle with the production number "10R011001M" will be described.

The operator of the user-side administrator terminal device accesses the login screen using a browser program (not shown) and logs in with the user ID "1001". Since the login process is the same, it will be omitted. The specially equipped vehicle management server 100 transmits a list of vehicles managed by the user together with the initial screen. Such a list of vehicles can be obtained by reading out vehicle management data storing serial numbers of specially equipped vehicles to be managed in association with user IDs from the user-by-user vehicle data storage section 26t (see FIG. 4) and transmitting the data.

The user-side administrator terminal device 120 displays the received initial screen on the monitor. When the operator of the user-side manager terminal device 120 selects the process "display movement history" (not shown) on this initial screen, the list of vehicles received from the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 is displayed (step S31). The user specifies a vehicle for which a map display is desired, and clicks a map display button (not shown) displayed on the monitor.

The CPU of the user-side administrator terminal device 120 determines whether there is such a vehicle selection & map display command (step S33). It is transmitted to the server 100 (step S34).

The CPU 23 of the specially-equipped vehicle management server 100 determines whether or not to receive such a request (step S41), and upon receiving such a request, reads the movement history of the operation data of the selected vehicle (step S42). The map data including the read point data is read from the map data storage unit 26c (see FIG. 4), the map data in which the point data are arranged is generated (step S43), and transmitted (step S44).

The CPU of the user-side administrator terminal device 120 determines whether or not to receive such map data (step S35), and when received, displays on the monitor the map data showing the travel history as shown in FIG. (Step S37). In FIG. 11, the line connecting points 401 to 407 is the travel history.

In FIG. 11, points are displayed on the map data in different shapes, colors, etc. so as to distinguish between the point data in the regular transmission mode and the point data in the occasional transmission mode. Specifically, points 401, 402, and 406 are in regular transmission mode, and points 403, 404, 405, and 407 are in occasional transmission mode. In this case, the user-side manager terminal device 120 transmits a flag for distinguishing between the regular transmission mode and the occasional transmission mode at the time of transmission. generated the map data displayed by

Alternatively, the color may be changed without changing the shape.

In addition, the occasional transmission mode may be displayed so as to distinguish between the case where the user manually presses the occasional transmission button and the case where the user does not. In this case, even in the occasional transmission mode, if the occasional transmission button is manually pressed and not, flags may be set and transmitted.

In this embodiment, the map data is stored in the special-purpose vehicle management server 100, but the special-purpose vehicle management server 100 creates a travel locus, transmits it to the user-side administrator terminal device 120, and transmits it to the user-side administrator terminal device 120. The device 120 may separately request the map database for the map data of the required area at the required scale, and the user-side manager terminal device 120 may combine the two and display them.

By displaying the map data that connects the movement trajectory in chronological order, including the occasional transmission (especially the collection location where the device is moved), it is possible to determine how the actual collection location was reached. This makes it possible to improve work efficiency, such as reviewing the route to the collection site.

(2. Other Embodiments)
The user-side administrator terminal device 120 may be a tablet or the like in addition to a personal computer.

In this embodiment, in FIG. 3, the user terminals of one user are illustrated as one user-side administrator terminal device 120 and one user-portable device 160, but the user-portable device 160 can be used by users simultaneously. It is necessary only for the number of specially equipped vehicles to be used. In general, one user is composed of a plurality of user-portable devices 160 and a plurality of specially equipped vehicles. A plurality of user-side administrator terminal devices 120 may be provided.

The transmission condition setting means 163 (see FIG. 3) of the user-worn device 160 may select data to be transmitted among the operation data in the occasional transmission mode. This makes it possible to transmit only the necessary operating motion data. In this case, the transmission target data may be selected each time, or may be determined in advance. For example, the PTO may be turned on and only the loading switch may be turned on.

Further, although the operation data is transmitted from the user portable device 160 including the date and time data, the special purpose vehicle management server 100 may give the date and time data when the operation data is received.

Further, the operating motion data acquired by the user-worn device 160 may include image data indicating the motion status of the mounted object. As such image data, data captured by the image processing section 51 from the image of the camera 53 (see FIG. 2) can be employed. The user-worn device 160 may transmit the operation data including such image data to the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 .

If the user-worn device 160 is out of the communication range of the wireless communication unit 128 when the transmission condition is met, the user-worn device 160 stores the operating motion data to be transmitted in the operating motion data storage unit 126k, and moves into the communication range. Then, it may be transmitted.

In this embodiment, the user-mobile device 160 and the user-side manager terminal device 120 are logged in with the same user ID, but the worker and manager may have different user IDs. In this case, the IDs of the worker and the administrator may be related so that they can be registered in and read out from the same operating motion data for each user.

In this embodiment, since the garbage collection vehicle is adopted as the specially equipped vehicle, the operating operation data is the accumulated number of loading, the accumulated number of TG rises, the PTO operating time, and the position data. However, any data may be used as long as it is operation data of a specially equipped vehicle.

It should be noted that position data is arbitrary as working motion data. That is, even if the operation data does not have position data, it is possible to determine which garbage station the operation data belongs to based on the time when the course of collection, such as a garbage truck, is determined. Also, in this case, the periodic transmission may be automatically turned off when the vehicle travels a certain distance, and the periodic transmission mode may be turned on when the next occasional transmission is performed.

In the present embodiment, in the disconnection display of FIG. 8B, the occasional transmission button is displayed differently from the normal time (transparent display) and cannot be tapped, thereby informing that the special purpose vehicle vehicle side control device is disconnected. By changing the display in this way, instead of informing you that you are in a disconnected state, the Send Anytime button itself will be displayed in the same way as normal. Confirmation such as YES/NO" may be displayed.

In this embodiment, the operating motion data is stored in the user portable device 160, read out and transmitted to the specially equipped vehicle management server 100. However, the operating motion data is stored in the vehicle side control device, This may be transmitted to the specially equipped vehicle management server 100 .

Although the case where the user-side administrator terminal is composed of a personal computer has been described, it may be a tablet computer or a mobile terminal.
