DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the vehicle management system according to the embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a vehicle information management server. The vehicle information management server 10 includes a control unit 101 (identification means, information output means, arrangement target identification information storage means, comparison means, owner information extraction means, A waste management slip issuing means, a dumped article information output means) and a vehicle information database 102 (article information storage means, parts configuration information storage means, owner information storage means, waste processing information storage means). Reference numeral 20 denotes a terminal provided in a vehicle manufacturing factory, a vehicle dealer, a vehicle repair factory, a fueling station, a vehicle disposal company, a customs office, a vehicle user's house, or the like. Note that an RFID read / write device (tag information reading means) is connected to the terminal 20 as necessary so that information in a memory in the RFID provided in the vehicle or in the RFID embedded in the vehicle registration certificate can be read and written. It has become. In addition, the waste disposal company includes a waste disposal company that discharges waste, a collection and transportation company that collects and transports the discharged waste, an intermediate treatment business that performs intermediate treatment of waste, and an intermediate treatment. The final processing company that performs the final processing later is included. Reference numeral 21 denotes a mobile terminal held by a vehicle user, for example. Reference numeral 30 denotes a vehicle sales website server provided for selling vehicles using a so-called web interface via a communication network.
[0015]
Reference numeral 80 denotes a communication network. The vehicle information management server 10, the terminal 20, the mobile terminal 21, and the vehicle sales website server 30 can communicate with each other via the communication network 80. The mobile terminal 21 can be connected to the communication network 80 via the mobile phone network 81. Here, the cellular phone network 81 and the communication network 80 are connected via a gateway device or the like (not shown).
[0016]
In the vehicle information management server 10, the vehicle information database 102 holds management information for the entire life cycle of each vehicle from the stage where the vehicle is shipped from the factory to the stage where it is disposed of. Further, as will be described later, the control unit 101 refers to data stored in the vehicle information database 102 while exchanging data with the terminal 20, the mobile terminal 21, the vehicle sales website server 30, etc. Data is written into the vehicle information database 102.
The vehicle information management server 10, the terminal 20, and the vehicle sales website server 30 are realized using a computer. As the mobile terminal 21, a mobile phone terminal (mobile phone terminal or PHS (registered trademark, personal handyphone system) terminal), PDA (personal digital assistant), or the like is used. Each of these devices includes a CPU (central processing unit). The process performed by each of these devices is stored in a computer-readable recording medium in the form of a computer program, and the above process is performed by the CPU reading and executing this program. Here, the computer-readable recording medium means a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, or the like. Alternatively, the computer program may be distributed to the computer via a communication line, and a CPU provided in the computer that has received the distribution may execute the program.
[0017]
Next, means for individually identifying vehicles in this system will be described. The vehicle is provided with an RFID that can be identified by the vehicle ID. A semiconductor memory is built in the RFID 72, and both the rewritable area and the rewritable area exist in the semiconductor memory. In the rewrite prohibition area, at least a vehicle ID for identifying the vehicle is written in advance.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of a place where an RFID is attached when the vehicle is a motorcycle. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 90 denotes a seat for a person to ride, and this sheet is made of a resin member. The RFID is provided inside the sheet.
[0018]
FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view in the longitudinal direction of the sheet. In this figure, reference numerals 71a, 71b, 71c, 71d, 71e, and 71f indicate examples of positions where RFIDs are fixed. The RFID may be attached to any of these 71a to 71f. However, particularly when the RFID is attached at the position 71a or 71f, the distance from the sheet surface to the RFID is short, and therefore the RFID read / write device may be brought closer. it can. Note that FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of the sheet at the AA portion in FIG.
In addition, as shown to Fig.3 (a), in order to play the role of the buffer for the person who rides, the resin member which comprises a sheet | seat has a certain amount of thickness in the up-down direction. Therefore, when the RFID is attached at the positions 71b, 71c, 71d, 71e, the distance to the sheet surface becomes relatively long. On the other hand, when the RFID is attached to the front or rear portion in the seat as in 71a or 71f, the distance to the front or rear seat surface is relatively short, respectively. Therefore, when the reach distance of the RFID read / write signal (electromagnetic wave) is relatively short, by providing the RFID at a position where the distance to the sheet surface such as 71a or 71f is relatively short, the reader can be moved to a place closer to the RFID. It can be taken and read and written easily.
[0019]
2 and 3 show the mounting position of the RFID in the case of a motorcycle (same for a bicycle with a motor), but in addition to the motorcycle, a bicycle, a personal watercraft (PWC), a four-wheel buggy, etc. An RFID can be provided in a seat in a ride-on vehicle. Since the sheet is made of a resin member that allows electromagnetic waves to pass therethrough, mounting the RFID inside the sheet in this way is convenient for reading and writing information stored in the RFID using an electromagnetic wave signal. In addition, in a kuradori type vehicle, there is usually no metal roof covering the upper part of the seat. For example, an RFID read / write device is installed above the stop position of the vehicle on a fueling stand, repair shop, road, etc. It can also be convenient. Further, although the RFID is fixed to the vehicle from the manufacture of the vehicle to the disposal, there is an advantage that the RFID is not easily shifted by providing the RFID in the seat.
In the case of passenger cars, buses, trucks, and other vehicles having a metal roof, RFID is attached to the seat, and a hand-held read / write device is brought into the vehicle to read and write information on the RFID. To do. Alternatively, RFID is attached near the front window or rear window of a passenger car. For example, the RFID may be attached to the dashboard portion, and the RFID may be read and written from above the vehicle. Moreover, you may make it attach RFID in the resin member which comprises a dashboard part.
[0020]
Next, the car registration certificate used in this system will be described. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a vehicle registration certificate. In this figure, a vehicle registration certificate 50 is a certificate issued for each vehicle. As shown in the drawing, the vehicle type and year of the target vehicle (indicated as “Model 2003”) are displayed on the surface. A production number and a production company name are described, and a photograph of the vehicle is printed or affixed. Reference numeral 72 denotes an RFID embedded in the vehicle registration certificate 50. A semiconductor memory is built in the RFID 72, and both the rewritable area and the rewritable area exist in the semiconductor memory.
This vehicle registration certificate is issued by a manufacturer that manufactures a vehicle or a public organization that manages the vehicle registration. The size of the vehicle registration certificate is, for example, about a credit card size of 5.3 centimeters long and 8.5 centimeters wide, and the material thereof is plastic.
[0021]
Next, information held by the RFID provided in the vehicle and the RFID 72 embedded in the vehicle registration certificate 50 will be described. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of data stored in a memory in these RFIDs. As shown in the figure, a rewritable area and a rewritable area exist in the memory. The rewrite prohibition area is prohibited from being rewritten by using, for example, a ROM (read only memory). Alternatively, control is performed so that the rewrite prohibition area is not rewritten by a control function of the RFID.
[0022]
In the rewrite prohibition area, a tag type code and a vehicle ID are stored, and a spare area is further provided. The tag type code is code information for determining whether the RFID is an RFID provided on a vehicle or an RFID provided on a vehicle registration certificate. The vehicle ID is code information for identifying the vehicle individually.
The rewritable area stores owner data, parts configuration data, vehicle history data, and waste management slip issue data, and further includes a spare area. As described later, the owner data, the component configuration data, the vehicle history data, and the waste management slip issuance data are held and managed in the vehicle information database 102 as well. In this system, since the vehicle management server 10 and the terminal 20 can communicate with each other via the communication network 80, data stored in the vehicle information database 102 (owner data, component configuration data, vehicle history data, The waste management slip issue data) and the data stored in the RFID (owner data, parts configuration data, vehicle history data, and waste management slip issue data) are updated synchronously as necessary. . Further, since the RFID storage capacity is limited, the vehicle information database 102 may have a full set of each of these data, and the RFID may have only a subset of each of these data. .
[0023]
Next, each data held in the vehicle information database 102 will be described with reference to FIGS. However, some or all of the data shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 9 is also held on the RFID side for each vehicle.

As in the illustrated example, the component configuration data holds information regarding the component configuration for each vehicle (for each vehicle ID) as data of a tree structure, and symbols N1 to N7 are nodes in this tree structure. The node N1 corresponds to a vehicle and includes data items such as a vehicle ID and a vehicle registration date. This vehicle is composed of a component 01, a component 02, a component 03,..., And information on these components is stored in a node N2, a node N6, and a node N7, respectively. Moreover, the structure of components is hierarchical. For example, the component 01 is further composed of a component 01-01, a component 01-02, a component 01-03,..., And information regarding these components is stored in the node N3, the node N4, and the node N5, respectively. ing. Each of the nodes N2 to N7 includes a part name representing a part name, a part code for identifying a part type, a part production number assigned to each part individual, a part lot number representing a lot at the time of part production, The part manufacturing date that represents the date that the part was manufactured, the date that the part was mounted on the vehicle, or the date that the part was mounted on the upper part, the reason that the part was mounted (event such as “new car manufacturing” or “ Data item such as the reason for mounting the part indicating "replacement by repair").
FIG. 7 illustrates the case where the number of component hierarchies is two, but any number of hierarchies may be used.
[0025]
FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a data structure of vehicle history data included in the vehicle information database. As in the illustrated example, the vehicle history data holds the history information for each vehicle (for each vehicle ID), and includes at least date, history summary, and detail data items. The values of the history summary items are, for example, “new car manufacturing”, “owner registration”, “owner change”, “fueling”, “repair”, “deregistration”, “issue of waste management slip”, etc. . The history information is generated in the terminal 20 every time each event occurs. The information is written to the RFID provided in the vehicle or the RFID of the vehicle registration certificate as necessary, and is transmitted from the terminal 20 to the control unit 101. The control unit 101 writes to the database based on the transmitted information.
When the history outline is “new car manufacture”, the name of the manufacturer and the name of the factory are written as detailed data. When the history summary is “owner registration”, the owner name, owner address, and the like are written as detailed data. When the history summary is “refueling”, information for identifying a refueling station, a refueling amount, odometer information at the time of refueling, and the like are written as detailed data. When the history summary is “repair”, the name of the repair shop, information on the details of repair, and the like are written as detailed data. When the history summary is “change owner”, a new owner name, an address of the new owner, and the like are written as detailed data.
[0026]
FIG. 9 shows an outline of the waste management slip issue data included in the vehicle information database. As in the example shown in the figure, the waste management slip issuance data is generated for each vehicle (for each vehicle ID), the waste management slip issuance flag, the waste processing code, the discharge provider information, the collection / transport carrier information, and the intermediate information. Including data items such as processing company information, final processing company information, the public key of the discharging company, the public key of the collection / transportation company, the public key of the intermediate processing company, and the public key of the final processing company Yes. The waste management slip issued flag is information indicating whether a waste management slip (manifest) has already been issued. The waste processing code is information indicating whether the waste management slip is issued in a paper form or an electronic form. A private key corresponding to each public key is held by each operator's computer. In addition, the business operators at each stage (for example, intermediate processing business operators) may be a plurality of business operators depending on the processing contents. In this case, the public key information for each business operator issues this waste management slip. Retained in the data.
[0027]
FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a list of functions of the control unit 101 of the vehicle information management server 10. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the control unit 101 is roughly divided into a vehicle life cycle management function (a), an arrangement function (b), and a disposal / recycling function (c). Yes.
More specifically, the vehicle lifecycle management functions include (1) new vehicle registration, (2) new vehicle sales (owner new registration), (3) import, (4) used vehicle transfer (owner change registration). ), (5) Export, (6) Deletion of vehicle registration information (registration of discharge company), (7) Refueling, and (8) Repair. Further, the arrangement function includes functions such as (11) vehicle theft arrangement, (12) specific vehicle type / part arrangement, and (13) illegal dumping vehicle management. Disposal / recycling functions include (21) Issuance of waste management slip (manifest), (22) Emission management, (23) Collection / transport management, (24) Intermediate processing management, (25) Final processing management, etc. Each function is included. The outline of each function will be described below.
[0028]
(1) The new vehicle registration function receives the vehicle ID, part configuration data, and the like of the new vehicle from the terminal 20 such as a vehicle manufacturing factory, and registers the new vehicle data in the vehicle information database 102. At this time, information to be written in the RFID provided in the vehicle, the RFID embedded in the vehicle registration certificate or the like is also generated at the same time.
(2) The new car sales (owner new registration) function receives data such as the owner's name and address from the terminal 20 of the store, the server 30 of the vehicle sales website, etc., and the owner data of the vehicle information database 102 Register.
(3) The import function performs the same processing as used car transfer described later in the case of import from a country (region) to be managed by the vehicle management system. In the case of import from other countries (regions), the owner data and parts configuration data are registered as a new vehicle, and past history information is registered as vehicle history data. The functions necessary for processing the import function are received from the customs terminal 20, for example.
[0029]
(4) The used car transfer (owner change registration) function receives the data such as the name and address of the owner after the transfer from the terminal 20 of the used car dealer, etc. Register data and add vehicle history data.
(5) The export function performs the same process as the above-mentioned transfer of used cars in the case of export to a managed country (region) by the vehicle management system. In the case of export to other countries (regions), the owner data is updated or deleted, and the export field record is added as vehicle history data. Functions necessary for processing the export function are received from, for example, the customs terminal 20.
[0030]
(6) The vehicle registration information deletion (discharge company registration) function adds information indicating the registration deletion as vehicle history data, and the discharge company, which is the first contractor for the waste disposal, is added to the vehicle information database 102. Perform the registration process.
(7) The refueling function receives data related to refueling (fuel amount information, odometer information, refueling location information, etc.) from the terminal 20 of the refueling station, and performs processing for registering this as vehicle history data.
(8) The repair function receives data relating to repair from the terminal 20 of the repair shop, and registers this as vehicle history data. Further, when parts are exchanged in the repair, the parts configuration data in the vehicle information database is also updated.
[0031]
(11) The vehicle theft arrangement function performs theft arrangement by the vehicle ID in the case of the vehicle theft. Theft arrangement information is transmitted to terminals 20 such as customs, repair shops, and gas stations. For example, in a fueling station, the vehicle ID can be read from the RFID provided on the vehicle at a position where the vehicle stops for refueling, and the vehicle ID read from the vehicle RFID is compared with the vehicle ID of the theft arrangement information. To be able to. Moreover, when both match as a result of the comparison, refueling may be automatically interrupted, and information on the location of the refueling station may be notified to the vehicle information management server side. As a result, the location of the stolen vehicle can be grasped relatively easily.
[0032]
(12) The specific vehicle type / specific part arrangement function has a corresponding part by searching the part configuration data in the vehicle information database 102 when, for example, the life of a part in a specific lot is approaching. A vehicle is specified and owner data of the vehicle is obtained. As a result, it is possible to send information such as part replacement to the owner. In addition, a part of the vehicle history data includes a history of vehicle inspection, a history of replacement of parts such as tires, a history of maintenance or inspection, etc., and based on this vehicle history data When a predetermined period has passed since the previous vehicle inspection / part replacement / inspection, etc., it is possible to send a guide for the next vehicle inspection / part replacement / inspection. These guides may be mailed to the address of the owner, or an e-mail address may be held as owner data and sent to the address as an e-mail. In addition to the case of the life of a part, for example, in a part in which a control means by software is incorporated, guidance may be sent to the owner for the addition of the function of the software.
(13) The illegally dumped vehicle management function outputs information related to illegally dumped vehicles. For example, when a vehicle that has been illegally dumped is found, the vehicle ID is read from the RFID provided on the vehicle by using a handy terminal device (portable terminal device) or the like at the dumping site. Then, based on the vehicle ID, the control unit 101 reads the vehicle history data and owner data of the corresponding vehicle from the vehicle information database 102. Also, if the vehicle has already been unregistered and is being disposed of, the status of waste disposal is determined based on data written in the vehicle information database 102 from the disposal / recycling function described later. Chase.
[0033]
Next, the disposal / recycling function will be described. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing the processing and data flow in the disposal / recycling function. In FIG. 11, discharge management, collection / transport management, intermediate processing management, and final processing management are functions that the control unit 101 has. Note that the processing shown in this figure is based on the assumption that an electronic waste management slip has already been issued. That is, when the vehicle registration information deletion process is performed, a waste management form issuance process is performed in conjunction with the vehicle registration information deletion process, and the waste management form (waste management form data) as electronic data is stored in the vehicle information database 102. It is recorded. The waste management slip data includes a vehicle ID, and this vehicle ID associates the waste management slip data with other data in the vehicle information database. Instead of holding the waste management slip data in the vehicle information database 102, it is recorded in another storage area in the vehicle information management server 10 or a recording medium (not shown) such as a magnetic disk in another computer. You may make it hold | maintain.
[0034]
Hereinafter, a description will be given along the flow of FIG. First, the emission management function of the control unit 101 reads the vehicle ID of the vehicle to be discarded from the vehicle information database 102 and adds emission information (including information about the emission company) (step S110). Then, information including the vehicle ID and the discharge information is transmitted to the discharge company's terminal 20 via the communication network 80 to request encryption. On the discharge company side, this information is encrypted with the private key of the discharge company and then returned to the discharge management function of the control unit 101. The emission management function writes the returned encrypted information in the vehicle information database 102 as emission company information, and also writes the emission company's public key in the vehicle information database 102 (step S111).
Next, the collection / transport management function of the control unit 101 reads out the discharge provider information from the vehicle information database 102 and adds the collection / transport information (including information related to the collection / transport provider) (step S120). Then, the information after the addition is transmitted to the collection / transportation company terminal 20 via the communication network 80 to request encryption. The collection / transportation company encrypts this information with the private key of the collection / transportation company and returns it to the collection / transport management function of the control unit 101. The collection / transport management function writes the returned encrypted information in the vehicle information database 102 as the collection / transport provider information, and also writes the public key of the collection / transport provider in the vehicle information database 102 (step S121). .
[0035]
Next, the intermediate process management function of the control unit 101 reads the collection / transportation company information from the vehicle information database 102 and adds intermediate process information (including information about the intermediate process company) (step S130). Then, the added information is transmitted to the terminal 20 of the intermediate processing company via the communication network 80, and the encryption is requested. The intermediate processing company side encrypts this information with the intermediate processing company's private key and returns it to the intermediate processing management function of the control unit 101. The intermediate processing management function writes the returned encrypted information in the vehicle information database 102 as intermediate processing operator information, and also writes the public key of the intermediate processing operator in the vehicle information database 102 (step S131).
Next, the final processing management function of the control unit 101 reads the intermediate processing business operator information from the vehicle information database 102 and adds final processing information (including information related to the final processing business operator) (step S140). Then, the information after the addition is transmitted to the terminal 20 of the final processing operator via the communication network 80, and the encryption is requested. The final processing provider encrypts this information with the final processing provider's private key and then returns it to the final processing management function of the control unit 101. The final processing management function writes the returned encrypted information in the vehicle information database 102 as final processing operator information, and also writes the final processing operator's public key in the vehicle information database 102 (step S141).

As described above, by performing the processing from step S110 to S141 according to each stage of the waste processing and managing the information on the waste, it is possible to centrally manage information on the status of the waste processing. In addition, since this information is encrypted with the private key of each operator, decryption using the corresponding public key can ensure that the information is added by the operator and Information sufficient to accurately track the process can be retained in the vehicle information database. Further, the information regarding the waste disposal is associated with the vehicle ID of the vehicle, and the vehicle ID corresponds to the vehicle ID written on the vehicle registration certificate or the RFID provided on the vehicle itself. Therefore, it is possible to reliably identify the individual vehicle that is to be treated as waste.
In the example of FIG. 11, it is assumed that the processing is performed in the order of the discharging company, the collection / transportation company, the intermediate processing company, and the final processing company. In particular, it is only necessary to add information while encrypting disposal / recycling companies. For example, a single business operator performs, for example, both collection / transportation and intermediate processing, intermediate processing is further divided into multiple stages by multiple business operators, or depending on substances that constitute waste The processing companies may be divided.
