Next, based on the processing flow of FIGS. 3-7, the effect | action of the shared vehicle management system 1 by 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
First, the reservation process of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The user uses the communication means 4 to access the authentication screen for accepting the reservation of the central management apparatus 10 via the communication line 5, such as unique user identification information (for example, ID number), password, etc. The authentication information is input, and the authentication information is transmitted to the central management apparatus 10. Thereby, the central management apparatus 10 receives authentication information (step S1).

  Based on the customer database, the central management apparatus 10 determines whether or not the user who transmitted the authentication information is a registered member (step S2). If it is determined that the member is a registered member, the central management apparatus 10 transmits reservation acceptance information to notify that the reservation can be accepted. If it is determined that the member is not a registered member, the central management apparatus 10 notifies that the reservation cannot be accepted.

When the reservation can be received, the user inputs the use reservation condition (vehicle selection condition) on the reservation reception screen and transmits it to the central management apparatus 10. Thereby, the central management apparatus 10 receives use reservation conditions (step S3). Usage reservation conditions include rental date and time, rental location (parking lot), destination, return location (parking lot), travel route, desired vehicle type, number of passengers, presence / absence of load, etc. Enter the date and time and the rental location as mandatory reservation conditions.
In the present embodiment, a user can use a plurality of parking lots 100, and the “rental place” is information for specifying a parking lot 100 that is convenient for the user to access. The “return location” is information for identifying the parking lot 100 where the user returns the vehicle 3 to be used.

The “desired vehicle type” is information for specifying a vehicle that the user desires to use. For example, a specific vehicle type (for example, “AAA” of “A” company) of a specific automobile manufacturer, It is a size, a vehicle type (for example, a sedan, a wagon, etc.).
The central management device 10 searches the vehicle 3 that matches the use reservation condition using the vehicle information database, transmits a search result guidance screen, and notifies the user of the search result (step S4).

  The user confirms the search result including at least the lending date and time and the lending place on the search result guide screen, and transmits a reservation confirmation input for confirming the reservation to the central management apparatus 10. Thereby, the central management apparatus 10 receives the reservation confirmation input, and the reservation is confirmed based on the search result (step S5). When the reservation is confirmed, the central management apparatus 10 stores vehicle reservation information including information such as a rental date and time, a rental location (parking lot), and a vehicle type in association with the user identification information. A searched vehicle that matches the vehicle reservation information is secured as a reserved vehicle (candidate vehicle).

  Of the use reservation conditions, “Destination”, “Travel route”, “Preferred vehicle type”, “Presence / absence of load” are not essential items. For this reason, when the user does not specify the “desired vehicle type”, a large number of vehicles 3 specified only by “use date / time”, “rental location”, etc. are specified, and the plurality of vehicles 3 are reserved. . Further, even when the “desired vehicle type” is specified by the vehicle name “AAA” of “A” company, there may be a plurality of vehicles 3 that satisfy other conditions such as “use date” and “rental area”. . Therefore, the central management apparatus 10 makes a reservation so that at least one vehicle 3 that matches the vehicle reservation information is secured.

  In addition to the reserved vehicle, the user may further add candidate vehicles from the input device of the controller 20 of the parking lot 100 or the like. In this case, the user inputs the user identification information and the vehicle selection condition to the input device or the like, so that the controller 20 inquires whether or not the candidate vehicle can be added to the central management device 10, and the central management device 10 performs the reservation process. The same processing is performed. As a result, the vehicle desired by the user is additionally set as a candidate vehicle as a vehicle that matches the vehicle selection condition associated with the user identification information. As a result, additional candidate vehicles other than the reserved vehicle are included in the candidate vehicles, and the user can select a vehicle more suitable for the needs.

Next, based on FIG. 4, the lending process of this embodiment is demonstrated.
After the reservation, when the user goes to the designated parking lot 100 and the ID card 6 is brought close to or inserted into the ID card reader 24 of the controller 20, the ID card reader 24 reads the user identification information stored in the ID card 6. The management control unit 21 serving as a user recognition unit receives user identification information from the ID card reader 24 (step S11).

  The management control unit 21 as vehicle reservation information acquisition means makes an inquiry to transmit the vehicle reservation information associated with the received user identification information to the central management device 10 via the communication interface 22, and as a result, In order to release the door lock of the vehicle 3 that matches the received vehicle reservation information, the management control unit 21 as a lock control means transmits a door lock release command signal (door unlock signal) via the communication unit 23. (Step S12). In response to the inquiry from the management control unit 21, the central management device 10 searches for vehicle reservation information associated with the user identification information, and transmits the corresponding vehicle reservation information to the controller 20. In the present embodiment, the vehicle reservation information is transmitted to the controller 20 as information related to the candidate vehicle. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and vehicle identification information (identification number) that can uniquely identify the reserved vehicle. ) Etc. may be transmitted.

  FIG. 2 shows a case where three of the parked vehicles 3a to 3d are vehicles that match the vehicle reservation information. Therefore, a door lock release command signal is transmitted to the vehicles 3a-3c. For example, when the user has set a reservation condition for the “desired vehicle type” with the vehicle name “AAA” of “A” company, different colors (for example, red, white, blue) allocated to the parking lot 100 The door lock release command signal is transmitted to the “AAA” vehicle or the “AAA” vehicle having a different interior.

  In addition, when “Destination” is set as the reservation condition, a vehicle having a short travelable distance calculated based on the remaining fuel / battery remaining amount with respect to the distance from the rental location to the destination or further to the return location 3 is determined to be a vehicle that does not match the vehicle reservation information. Furthermore, when “passenger number” is set as the reservation condition, the vehicle 3 having a smaller number of seats than the number of passengers is determined to be a vehicle that does not match the vehicle reservation information.

  In the vehicles 3a-3c that match the vehicle reservation information, the vehicle control unit 31 receives a door lock release command signal via the communication unit 33. Then, the vehicle control unit 31 outputs a door lock release control signal for causing the door lock control device 35 to release the door lock in response to the door lock release command signal. Thereby, in the corresponding vehicles 3a to 3c, the lock mechanism 35a is operated, and all or a part of the front door, the rear door, the trunk lid, and the back door are unlocked. Moreover, the lock sensor 35b detects unlocking by unlocking. The vehicle control unit 31 transmits a door lock release signal indicating that each door or the like is unlocked to the controller 20 via the communication unit 33.

  When receiving the door lock release signal from the corresponding vehicle 3a-3c, the management control unit 21 activates an internal timer (for example, 10 minutes) (step S13). This timer is for the user to limit the selection time for selecting one of the candidate vehicles 3a-3c that can be used. In the meantime, the user can actually compare the three vehicles 3a-3c, confirm the appearance, interior, etc., and select one to be used.

Next, the management control unit 21 determines whether or not the timer time has elapsed (step S14).
If the timer time until the timer expires after the door lock is released has not elapsed (step S14; No), the management control unit 21 as the use vehicle setting means determines whether or not a vehicle selection signal has been received. (Step S15). The management control unit 21 identifies the vehicle 3 that has transmitted the vehicle selection signal as the selected vehicle. The user can select the vehicle to be used by operating the input display device 34 in the vehicle 3 and inputting a vehicle selection signal (for example, pressing the enter button). In this case, the vehicle control unit 31 transmits the vehicle selection signal and the vehicle identification information VIN of the selected vehicle to the controller 20 (management control unit 21) via the communication unit 33.

  In the present embodiment, the user is configured to output a vehicle selection signal to the controller 20 by the input display device 34 in the vehicle 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the controller 20 is provided with an input device. The user may input a vehicle selection signal using this input device.

When the vehicle selection signal is not received after the door lock is released and before the timer time elapses (step S15; No), the management control unit 21 repeats the processes of steps S14 and S15 until the timer time elapses.
On the other hand, when the timer time has elapsed without receiving the vehicle selection signal after the door lock is released (step S14; Yes), the management control unit 21 uses the communication unit to lock all candidate vehicles 3a-3c. A door lock operation command signal (door lock signal) is transmitted through the terminal 23 (step S18).

  In response to the door lock operation command signal, in the vehicles 3a to 3c, the vehicle control unit 31 outputs a door lock control signal for causing the door lock control device 35 to operate the door lock. Accordingly, in the vehicles 3a to 3c, the front door, the rear door, the trunk lid, and the back door are locked by the lock mechanism 35a, and the lock sensor 35b detects the locked state. The vehicle control unit 31 transmits a door lock signal indicating that each door is locked to the controller 20 via the communication unit 33.

  As the candidate vehicles 3a-3c are door-locked in this way, the candidate vehicles 3a-3c are disabled from traveling, and the candidate vehicles 3a-3c are prevented from being illegally used by third parties to ensure security. can do. In this case, the user can resume the lending process by approaching or inserting the ID card 6 into the ID card reader 24 again.

  On the other hand, when the vehicle selection signal is received after the door lock is released and before the timer time elapses (step S15; Yes), the management control unit 21 serving as the travel impossibility control means is not a vehicle other than the vehicle to which the vehicle selection signal is input. A door lock operation command signal is transmitted to the selected vehicle so that all doors and trunk lids are locked, and a vehicle selection signal and vehicle identification information of the selected vehicle are transmitted to the central management device 10 (steps). S16). Thereby, the central management apparatus 10 updates the vehicle information database of the vehicle which was not selected, and cancels a reservation state. For example, when the user inputs a vehicle selection signal with the vehicle 3a, the doors of the vehicles 3b and 3c are locked. As a result, it is possible to prevent the unselected vehicles 3b and 3c from traveling and being illegally used by a third party.

As a result, the user can know that the user has forgotten to close the door or the like, and the door or the like can be reliably returned to the closed state. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the security of candidate vehicles that are not selected as use vehicles.

  In the present embodiment, the management control unit 21 is configured to command the operation of the notification device 42 of each candidate vehicle 3. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the vehicle control unit 31 of each candidate vehicle 3 You may comprise so that the alerting | reporting apparatus 42 may be operated by determining whether the ID card 6 is in the vicinity and determining whether the door or the like is in an open state.

Next, based on FIG. 6, the delivery process of this embodiment is demonstrated.
This process is a process performed during the lending process after the vehicle is selected by the user.
The management control unit 21 transmits the vehicle selection signal and the vehicle identification information of the selected vehicle to the central management device 10 (step S70), and then the vehicle 3 parked in the parking lot 100 other than the selected use vehicle. (Or a candidate vehicle of the user) is inquired about the open / closed state of a door or the like (step S71).

When the doors and the like of all other vehicles 3 are in the closed state (step S71; No), the management control unit 21 gives the engine operation permission to the use vehicle (step S75) and ends the process. Thereby, the user can start the engine of a utilization vehicle.
On the other hand, when the door or the like of the other vehicle 3 is in the open state (step S71; Yes), the management control unit 21 is selecting or confirming the vehicle in which the door or the like is open by another user. It is determined whether the vehicle is a candidate vehicle for another user (step S72). That is, it is determined whether or not the vehicle is a candidate vehicle for another user and is currently selectable. Specifically, the management control unit 21 selects the vehicle according to the vehicle selection condition associated with the user identification information of another user, and outputs a door lock release command signal along with the vehicle selection condition. It is determined whether or not is released.

  When the open vehicle such as a door is a candidate vehicle of another user (step S72; Yes), the management control unit 21 gives an engine operation permission to the vehicle to be used (step S75), and ends the process. . In this case, the door etc. is opened because the user who has already selected the vehicle to use has not forgotten to close the door etc., but other users are currently selecting and opening the door etc. . Therefore, security for a vehicle with a door or the like opened can be ensured by another user.

  On the other hand, when the open vehicle such as a door is not a candidate vehicle of another user (step S72; No), it is considered that the user who has already selected the use vehicle forgot to close the door or the like of the other candidate vehicle. Therefore, the management control unit 21 does not give the engine operation permission for the selected use vehicle so as not to run or restricts the engine start (step S73), and the doors of other vehicles are open. The door open state notification signal for notifying this is transmitted to the vehicle control unit 31 of the vehicle in use (step S74), and the process returns to step S71 again.

  Thereby, the user cannot start the engine of a utilization vehicle and cannot leave the parking lot 100 with a utilization vehicle. In addition, the vehicle control unit 31 that has received the door open state notification signal can notify the user that the door of the candidate vehicle is open by the notification device 42.
