Further, the second embodiment of the present disclosure is a technique that utilizes the element technology of the first embodiment, and specifically, a technique for presenting the user (occupant of the vehicle) with an accurate stop position of the vehicle. suggest.

<First embodiment>
An outline of the first embodiment will be described. In conventional car leasing services, after the lease contract ends, the price of the leased vehicle is assessed based on the condition of the leased vehicle returned by the customer, and sales negotiations are conducted with individuals and vehicle purchasers. This resulted in the expense of parking the leased vehicles returned by the customer until the leased vehicles were sold. In addition, it was difficult to secure a sufficient period of time for sales negotiations for leased vehicles. As a result, there were times when the leased vehicle had to be sold at a low price.

In addition, the vehicle-mounted device in the lease residual value setting amount calculation system described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-141600 is connected to a server via a wide area communication network such as the Internet, and registers various information in the server. However, an on-board device that has a function of communicating via a wide area network (for example, a 4G communication function or a 5G communication function) is expensive, and it is considered difficult to popularize such an on-board device from a cost standpoint.

Therefore, in the information processing system of the first embodiment, the traveling data of the leased vehicle during the lease contract period (that is, before the lease contract ends) is sequentially accumulated in the server, and the traveling data of the leased vehicle, etc., is stored during the lease contract period. Allows lessors to view. Further, in the information processing system of the first embodiment, the vehicle-mounted device installed in the leased vehicle uses two routes, i. Register the running data of the car on the server. As a result, it is possible to register the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 in the server in a relatively short span and to reduce the cost of the vehicle-mounted device. The technology described in the first embodiment is useful not only for leased vehicles, but also for collecting and providing travel data for various vehicles.

Details of the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the information processing system of the first embodiment. The information processing system 10 includes a leased vehicle 12 , a communication device 18 provided at a service station (hereinafter also referred to as “SS”), a server 20 and a leaser terminal 22 .

The leased vehicle 12 is a vehicle leased from a lessor to a customer (for example, an individual). The leased vehicle 12 may be an internal combustion vehicle, an electric vehicle, or a hybrid vehicle. An on-vehicle device 14 as an information processing device is mounted on the leased vehicle 12 , and a mobile terminal 16 of a passenger (driver or the like) is brought into the leased vehicle 12 .

The vehicle-mounted device 14 is connected to an OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port of the leased vehicle 12 and has a beacon function. The mobile terminal 16 is an information terminal operated by an occupant of the leased vehicle 12, and is, for example, a smart phone or a tablet terminal. In the portable terminal 16 of the first embodiment, an application (hereinafter also referred to as "car leasing application") having a support function for car leasing customers is installed.

The vehicle-mounted device 14 and the mobile terminal 16 are connected by short-range wireless communication (specifically, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) (“Bluetooth” is a registered trademark)). The mobile terminal 16 performs 4G communication or 5G communication and is connected to the server 20 via a wide area network. The traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 acquired by the onboard device 14 via the OBD port is transmitted to the server 20 via the mobile terminal 16 .

The SS communication device 18 has the function of a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) router (access point and router). The vehicle-mounted device 14 and the communication device 18 of the SS are connected by short-range wireless communication (specifically, Wi-Fi). The communication device 18 of the SS is connected to the server 20 via the wide area network. The traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 acquired by the onboard device 14 via the OBD port is transmitted to the server 20 via the communication device 18 of the SS.

In this way, the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 is registered in the server 20 through the route from the vehicle-mounted device 14 to the communication device 18 of the SS to the server 20 or the route from the vehicle-mounted device 14 to the mobile terminal 16 to the server 20. . As a result, the latest travel data of the leased vehicle 12 is registered in the server 20 at relatively short intervals. In addition, the vehicle-mounted device 14 does not require connection to a wide area network, and does not require a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. Thereby, the main body cost and communication cost of the vehicle-mounted device 14 can be reduced.

The server 20 is a cloud-side information processing device installed in a data center or the like. Server 20 may include the functionality of a web server. The server 20 includes a storage section and a provision section. The storage unit stores the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 . The travel data of the leased vehicle 12 stored in the storage unit of the server 20 can be said to be data relating to the state of the leased vehicle 12 during the lease contract period (in other words, before the lease contract ends).

The leasing company terminal 22 is an information processing device operated by a person in charge of a leasing company that runs a car leasing business. For example, the leaser terminal 22 may be a computer, smart phone, or tablet terminal.

The providing unit of the server 20 provides the leaser terminal 22 with data based on the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 accumulated in the storage unit. For example, the providing unit of the server 20 may transmit the travel data of the leased vehicle 12 itself to the leaser terminal 22 based on a request from the leaser terminal 22 or autonomously. (for example, an estimate of the price of the leased vehicle at the end of the lease contract) may be transmitted to the leaser terminal 22 .

The travel data of the leased vehicle 12 includes information obtainable from the OBD port of the leased vehicle 12 . For example, the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 output by the vehicle-mounted device 14 includes (1) identification information of the leased vehicle 12, (2) acquisition date and time, (3) mileage of the leased vehicle 12, and (4) necessary for safe driving evaluation. (e.g. driving speed, history of hard braking, history of hard steering), and (5) failure data (e.g. OBD error codes).

It should be noted that each device constituting the information processing system 10 may include a computer, as partially already described. The computer may include a processor (eg, CPU or ECU (Electronic Control Unit)), memory, and storage.

The operation of the information processing system 10 of the first embodiment configured as above will be described. The operation of each device of the information processing system 10 may be realized by the processor of each device executing a computer program.

FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the information processing system 10 of the first embodiment. The vehicle-mounted device 14 of the leased vehicle 12 constantly acquires the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 through the OBD port while the power supply (for example, the ignition power supply) of the leased vehicle 12 is on (S10). The vehicle-mounted device 14 stores the obtained traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 .

When the leased vehicle 12 visits the SS for refueling, washing, etc., the vehicle-mounted device 14 establishes a Wi-Fi connection with the communication device 18 of the SS, and transmits the obtained traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 to the communication device 18 of the SS. (S11). The communication device 18 of the SS transfers the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 14 to the server 20 (S12). The server 20 stores the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 transmitted from the communication device 18 of the SS in the storage unit.

On the other hand, when the power of the leased vehicle 12 is switched from off to on, the vehicle-mounted device 14 switches on the BLE communication function. The vehicle-mounted device 14 establishes a BLE connection with the mobile terminal 16 . When the BLE connection with the vehicle-mounted device 14 is established, the car lease application of the mobile terminal 16 transmits a travel data acquisition request to the vehicle-mounted device 14 . As a response to the request, the vehicle-mounted device 14 transmits the obtained traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 to the mobile terminal 16 (S13). The car lease application of the mobile terminal 16 transfers the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 14 to the server 20 (S14). The server 20 stores the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 transmitted from the car lease application of the mobile terminal 16 in the storage unit.

In the first embodiment, the car lease application of the mobile terminal 16 transmits a request for acquiring travel data to the onboard device 14 every time a predetermined period (for example, 10 minutes) elapses. Data is acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 14 . The car lease application of the mobile terminal 16 transmits the latest travel data acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 14 to the server 20 every time a predetermined period (for example, 10 minutes) elapses. As a result, the latest travel data of the leased vehicle 12 can be registered in the server 20 at relatively short intervals.

As a modification, when the car lease application of the mobile terminal 16 is activated based on the operation of the user (occupant of the leased vehicle 12), it transmits a request for acquiring travel data to the vehicle-mounted device 14, and the vehicle-mounted device 14 acquires the data. The traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 may be acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 14 . The car lease application of the mobile terminal 16 may transmit travel data of the leased vehicle 12 acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 14 to the server 20 when activated. As a result, the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 can be collected at a timing desired by the user.

The leasing company terminal 22 transmits to the server 20 a travel data acquisition request designating the identification information of the leased vehicle 12 in accordance with the operation of the person in charge of the leasing company. In response to the acquisition request, the server 20 transmits the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 accumulated in the storage unit to the leaser terminal 22 (S15).

The server 20 calculates the price of the leased vehicle 12 at the end of the lease contract based on the travel data of the leased vehicle 12 accumulated in the storage unit up to a predetermined period (for example, six months) before the end of the lease contract for the leased vehicle 12. is estimated (S16). This price may be the sale price in the used car market. The server 20 transmits price data indicating the estimated price of the leased vehicle 12 at the end of the lease contract to the leaser terminal 22 in response to an acquisition request from the leaser terminal 22 or autonomously (S17). When the lease contract for the leased vehicle 12 ends a predetermined period of time (for example, six months before), the server 20 may automatically detect this and execute the processes of S16 and S17. .

Specifically, the server 20 determines the state of the leased vehicle 12 at the end of the lease contract (e.g., travel distance, degree of deterioration, etc.) may be estimated. Based on pre-stored vehicle price information on the used car market (for example, information indicating the correspondence between the vehicle condition and the sales price), the server 20 creates a lease corresponding to the condition of the leased vehicle 12 at the end of the lease contract. A sales price for vehicle 12 may be estimated. For example, the server 20 estimates a higher value as the price of the leased vehicle 12 at the end of the lease contract, the shorter the estimated value of the mileage of the leased vehicle 12 at the end of the lease contract and the lower the estimated value of the degree of deterioration. good too.

In addition, when the traveling data of the leased vehicle 12 is newly registered from a predetermined period (for example, six months) before the end of the lease contract of the leased vehicle 12 to the end of the lease contract, the server 20 registers the newly registered travel data. Based on the travel data, the price of the leased vehicle 12 at the end of the lease contract may be estimated again and updated. The server 20 may then transmit the updated price data of the leased vehicle 12 to the leaser terminal 22 .

According to the information processing system 10 of the first embodiment, the driving data of the leased vehicle 12 can be provided to the leaser terminal 22 during the lease contract period (in other words, before the lease contract ends), and the leased vehicle can be sold after the lease contract ends. can effectively support For example, the information processing system 10 can assist the person in charge of the lease company in accurately assessing the price of the leased vehicle 12 at the end of the lease agreement during the lease agreement period of the leased vehicle 12 . In addition, support can be provided to secure a sufficient period (for example, six months) for negotiating the purchase and sale of leased vehicles with individuals and vehicle purchasing companies (used vehicle sales companies, etc.). In addition, it becomes easier to sell the leased vehicle immediately after the end of the lease contract, and parking lot costs for storing the leased vehicle are reduced.

Note that while the vehicle-mounted device 14 is connected to the communication device 18 of the SS via Wi-Fi, registration of travel data on the route of the vehicle-mounted device 14-the portable terminal 16-the server 20 may be suppressed. For example, the vehicle-mounted device 14 may disconnect the BLE connection with the mobile terminal 16 while it is connected to the communication device 18 of the SS via Wi-Fi. Transmission of data to the mobile terminal 16 may be suppressed. In this way, by giving priority to the registration of the traveling data along the route of the vehicle-mounted device 14 to the communication device 18 to the server 20 over the registration of the traveling data to the route of the vehicle-mounted device 14 to the mobile terminal 16 to the server 20, An increase in data communication traffic of the terminal 16 can be suppressed.

<Second embodiment>
A second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with a focus on points that are different from the first embodiment, and descriptions of common points will be omitted as appropriate. It goes without saying that the features of the second embodiment can be arbitrarily combined with the features of the first embodiment and modifications. Components of the second embodiment that are the same as or correspond to those of the first embodiment will be appropriately assigned the same reference numerals.

An outline of the second embodiment will be described. In the parking position guidance system described in JP-A-2017-27546, the parking position of the vehicle is specified using the GPS receiver provided in the vehicle-mounted device, and the vehicle-mounted device registers the parking position of the vehicle in the management server. . However, if the position of the vehicle differs from the position of the on-board unit for some reason, such as when the on-board unit is removed, or if the on-board unit is not equipped with a GPS receiver, there is a problem that the parking position of the vehicle cannot be identified correctly. rice field. Moreover, an on-board device having a communication function (for example, a 4G communication function, etc.) with a server on a network is expensive, and such an on-board device is considered to be difficult to spread from the viewpoint of cost.

Therefore, in the information processing system of the second embodiment, the portable terminal of the vehicle occupant (hereinafter also referred to as "user") is located at the position of the own terminal (same as the position of the vehicle) when the power of the vehicle is switched off. and register its position with the server. The mobile terminal obtains from the server the position of its own terminal when the power of the vehicle is switched off, and presents the position to the user as the vehicle stop position. Thereby, the stop position of the own vehicle can be specified correctly, and the correct stop position can be presented to the user. In addition, the main unit cost and communication cost of the vehicle-mounted device can be reduced. In the second embodiment, as an example of the parking position of the vehicle, a technique of guiding the user to the parking position of the vehicle is proposed.

The configuration of the information processing system of the second embodiment is assumed to be the same as the configuration of the information processing system 10 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. As in the information processing system of the first embodiment, the application range of the technology of the information processing system of the second embodiment is not limited to leased vehicles, but can be applied to vehicles in general. The information processing system of the second embodiment can also be said to be a parking position guidance system.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing functional blocks of the mobile terminal 16 of the second embodiment. Each block shown in the block diagram of this specification can be realized by hardware such as a CPU and memory of a computer or a mechanical device, and is realized by a computer program or the like in terms of software. Here, the functional blocks realized by their cooperation are drawn. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these functional blocks can be implemented in various ways by combining hardware and software.

The mobile terminal 16 includes a control section 30 , a communication section 32 and a display section 34 . The control unit 30 executes various data processing. The communication unit 32 communicates with an external device according to a predetermined communication protocol. For example, the communication unit 32 communicates with the vehicle-mounted device 14 using BLE and communicates with the server 20 via a wide area network. The control unit 30 transmits and receives data to and from the vehicle-mounted device 14 and the server 20 via the communication unit 32 .

The display unit 34 displays various information output from the control unit 30 . The display unit 34 also includes a touch screen, receives user operations input on the screen, and inputs data indicating the user operations to the control unit 30 .

The control unit 30 includes a position detection unit 40 , a power state detection unit 42 , a position registration unit 44 , a registered position acquisition unit 46 and a display control unit 48 . A computer program in which the functions of these functional blocks are implemented (herein referred to as a “parking position guide application”) may be installed in the storage of the mobile terminal 16 . The processor of the mobile terminal 16 may display the functions of the plurality of functional blocks by reading the parking position guidance application into the main memory and executing it. In the second embodiment, the parking position guide application is included in the car lease application of the first embodiment.

The position detection unit 40 includes the function of a GPS receiver and detects the current position of the mobile terminal 16 based on GPS signals. The power state detection unit 42 detects that the power of the leased vehicle 12 has been switched from on to off. The location registration unit 44 causes the storage unit of the server 20 to store the location data of the mobile terminal 16 when the power of the leased vehicle 12 is switched from on to off.

The registered position acquisition unit 46 acquires the position data of the mobile terminal 16 stored in the storage unit of the server 20 based on the user's operation. The display control unit 48 causes the display unit 34 to display the position of the mobile terminal 16 acquired by the registered position acquisition unit 46 as the parking position of the leased vehicle 12 .

The location registration unit 44 may register the location data of the mobile terminal 16 in the server 20 as the parking location data of the leased vehicle 12 . The registered position acquiring unit 46 acquires the parking position data of the leased vehicle 12 registered in the server 20, and the display control unit 48 displays the parking position of the leased vehicle 12 acquired by the registered position acquiring unit 46 on the display unit 34. may be displayed.

The operation of the information processing system of the second embodiment configured as above will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the operation of the mobile terminal 16 of the second embodiment. Here, it is assumed that a car lease application (parking position guidance application) has been activated on the mobile terminal 16 .

The position detection unit 40 of the mobile terminal 16 repeatedly detects the current position (for example, latitude and longitude values) of the mobile terminal 16 based on the GPS signal (S20). When the user drives the leased vehicle 12 and reaches the destination, the user parks the leased vehicle 12 in the parking lot. The user switches the power supply (for example, the ignition power supply) of the leased vehicle 12 from on to off and gets off the leased vehicle 12 . Note that switching the power supply of the leased vehicle 12 from ON to OFF includes switching the engine of the leased vehicle 12 from an activated state to a stopped state.

When the power supply of the lease vehicle 12 is switched from on to off, the power supply state detection unit 42 of the mobile terminal 16 detects that fact. In the embodiment, the power supply state detection unit 42 detects that the power supply of the leased vehicle 12 is switched from on to off when BLE communication with the vehicle-mounted device 14 is interrupted (in other words, the connected state changes to the disconnected state). detect that For example, when the power of the leased vehicle 12 is switched off, the vehicle-mounted device 14 may switch off the power of the beacon and switch off the BLE communication. The power state detection unit 42 may detect that the power supply of the leased vehicle 12 has been switched from on to off when a beacon EXIT event has occurred due to disruption of BLE communication with the vehicle-mounted device 14 .

As a modification, the power supply state detection unit 42 may detect that the leased vehicle 12 has been powered off when a predetermined signal is received from the vehicle-mounted device 14 . For example, when the leased vehicle 12 is powered off, the vehicle-mounted device 14 may transmit a special signal to the mobile terminal 16 indicating that the BLE communication will be terminated. The power supply state detection unit 42 may detect that the power supply of the leased vehicle 12 has been switched from on to off when the above signal is received from the vehicle-mounted device 14 .

When it is detected that the power of the leased vehicle 12 has been switched off (Y in S21), the position registration unit 44 of the mobile terminal 16 registers the latest position indicating the current position of the mobile terminal 16 detected by the position detection unit 40. The position data is transmitted to the server 20 via the wide area network (S22). The server 20 stores the location data of the mobile terminal 16 transmitted from the mobile terminal 16 in the storage unit. If it has not been detected that the leased vehicle 12 has been turned off (N in S21), the process of S22 is skipped.

When searching for the leased vehicle 12 in the parking lot, the user displays on the mobile terminal 16 an operation (hereinafter referred to as "parking position guidance instruction") to instruct the car lease application (parking position guidance application) to guide the parking position. Input to part 34 . When the parking position guidance instruction is input (Y of S23), the registered position acquisition unit 46 of the mobile terminal 16 acquires the position data of the mobile terminal 16 stored in the storage unit of the server 20 from the server 20 (S24). .

The display control unit 48 of the mobile terminal 16 causes the display unit 34 to display the position indicated by the position data acquired by the registered position acquisition unit 46 as the parking position of the leased vehicle 12 (S25). In the embodiment, the display control unit 48 causes the display unit 34 to display a parking position guide screen showing the parking position of the leased vehicle 12 on a map. If the parking position guidance instruction has not been input (N of S23), the processing of S24 and S25 is skipped.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a parking position guide screen. The parking position guide screen 60 includes a parking lot image 62 and a parking position indicator 64 . The parking lot image 62 is a map image of the parking lot where the leased vehicle 12 is parked. The parking position indicator 64 is an object that indicates the parking position of the leased vehicle 12 in the parking lot. For example, the display control unit 48 arranges the parking position indicator 64 at a position specified by the latitude and longitude values indicated by the position data on the parking lot image 62 matching the latitude and longitude values indicated by the position data. good too. The user can easily grasp the parking position of the leased vehicle 12 by checking the parking position guide screen 60 displayed on the display unit 34 .

In the second embodiment, the location registration unit 44 of the mobile terminal 16 stores the location data in the server 20 on the cloud when the power of the leased vehicle 12 is switched off. It may be stored in 16 storage units. The registered location acquisition unit 46 may acquire location data stored in the storage unit of the mobile terminal 16 .
