  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  An in-vehicle navigation device including a parking lot information providing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 1, the in-vehicle navigation device 100 includes a processing unit 10 (processing unit) configured by a computer unit (including a CPU). The processing unit 10 includes a GPS unit 16 for providing position information necessary for vehicle navigation, sensors 17 (gyro sensor, acceleration sensor, etc.), and a storage unit 13 (for example, a hard disk unit) that stores map information and various information. ) Is connected. Further, the processing unit 10 includes a display unit 12 provided in the vehicle interior and configured by an LCD or the like, an operation unit 11 including operation buttons and a touch panel configured in the display unit 12, and a speaker provided in the vehicle interior. An output circuit 14 for supplying an audio signal to 15 is connected.

  The processing unit 10 executes processing related to vehicle navigation based on various information from the GPS unit 16 and the sensors 17 and map information read from the storage unit 13, and the vehicle position mark and the map related to navigation are displayed on the display unit 12. A guide route and the like are displayed. Further, the processing unit 10 supplies an audio signal representing the message to the output circuit 14 so that various messages related to route guidance are output from the speaker 15.

  This in-vehicle navigation device 100 has a function as a parking lot information providing device that searches for a parking lot according to a search condition, displays information on the parking lot obtained by the search on the display unit 12, and provides it to the occupant. ing. In order to realize the function as the parking lot information providing device, the processing unit 10 executes processing according to the procedure shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B.

  In FIG. 2A, the processing unit 10 determines whether or not an operation for the parking lot search process has been performed on the operation unit 11 (S1). When the occupant performs an operation for the parking lot search process at the operation unit 11, the processing unit 10 determines that the operation has been performed at the operation unit 11 (YES in S1), and the operation unit for the parking lot search. 11 is acquired (S2). The input of the destination is the same as the operation related to the destination setting in the route search in the in-vehicle navigation device 100, and it corresponds to the point by specifying the point on the map displayed on the display unit 12. This can be done by entering the address, telephone number or facility name.

  When the processing unit 10 acquires the destination, the processing unit 10 executes a parking lot search process in accordance with a search condition that the destination exists within a predetermined range around the destination (S3). This parking lot search process can be performed in accordance with a known method, for example, based on information related to the installation location of the parking lot stored together with the map information in the storage unit 13. When the processing unit 10 finishes the parking lot search process, the processing unit 10 displays a confirmation message as to whether or not to display the charge on the display unit 12, and whether or not an operation for displaying the charge is performed on the operation unit 11. A determination is made (S4). When the user performs an operation for designating the charge display, the processing unit 10 determines that the charge display operation has been performed (YES in S4), and executes the next processing (S5 to S12).

  The processing unit 10 selects one parking lot from the parking lots obtained by the search process (S5), and stores the parking lot additional information stored in advance in the storage unit 13 corresponding to the selected parking lot. Obtain (S6). The parking lot additional information is information on the parking lot, and includes at least information indicating a parking basic fee that is a parking fee per unit time in the parking lot and a charging basic fee that is a charging fee per unit amount of electricity. Including. The parking lot additional information can also be downloaded from the host system using a predetermined wireless communication network. Next, the processing unit 10 acquires the amount of electricity currently stored in the storage battery of the own vehicle (electric vehicle) (S7), and the parking amount is calculated from the current amount of electricity, the power performance of the motor that is the driving source, and the current position. Based on the distance to the parking lot and the like, a prediction calculation is performed on the amount of electricity remaining in the storage battery (hereinafter referred to as the initial remaining amount of electricity) when the host vehicle enters the parking lot (S8).

  Then, the processing unit 10 calculates a parking fee for the elapsed time after the host vehicle is stored in the parking lot based on the information indicating the parking basic fee included in the acquired parking lot additional information, and Elapsed time since the vehicle was stored in the parking lot based on the charging performance (for example, the amount of charge per unit time) of the mounted storage battery and information representing the basic charge for charging included in the parking lot additional information. The charging fee for is calculated (S9). When the processing unit 10 obtains the parking fee and the charging fee, it further adds them to obtain a total fee (S9). Further, the processing unit 10 stores the storage battery corresponding to the elapsed time from the parking lot entry based on the initial remaining electricity amount at the time of parking entry and the charging performance of the own vehicle obtained in the prediction calculation (S8). The amount of electricity is calculated as an available amount of electricity, and the available amount corresponding to the elapsed time is calculated based on the available amount of electricity and the travel characteristics of the vehicle (for example, the travel distance per unit amount of electricity). As information that can represent the amount of electricity, a travelable distance corresponding to the elapsed time is calculated (S10). The parking fee, the charging fee, the total fee, and the travelable distance are calculated for each of the set elapsed times by setting a plurality of elapsed times from warehousing.

  The processing unit 10 stores the parking lot fee, charging fee, total fee and travelable distance corresponding to each of a plurality of elapsed times obtained by the calculation in an internal memory (not shown) (S11) and obtained by searching. It is determined whether or not the processing for all the parking lots has been completed (S12). If processing for all the parking lots has not been completed (NO in S12), the next parking lot is selected (S5), and the above-described processing (S6 to S11) is executed for the parking lot. And the process (S6-S11) mentioned above is repeatedly performed about all the parking lots, and if it complete | finishes (it is YES at S12), the process in the processing unit 10 will transfer to the process shown to FIG. 2B.

  In FIG. 2B, the processing unit 10 executes the display process while determining whether or not an operation for executing another process is performed on the operation unit 11 (S21). In the display process, for example, the following process is performed.

  Provided to the user on the basis of the parking lot search result, the parking fee, the charging fee, the total fee, and the travelable distance in each parking lot stored in the internal memory corresponding to each of a plurality of elapsed times. Information useful for assisting the selection of a parking lot to be generated is generated. For example, on the basis of the search result of the parking lot, parking lot position information MP that represents the position of each parking lot on the map together with the position of the destination is generated. In addition, based on the total charge (addition of parking charge and charging charge) corresponding to each elapsed time for each parking lot, it represents the transition of the total charge according to the elapsed time since entering the parking lot Charge information CG is generated. Further, based on the travelable distance corresponding to each elapsed time for each parking lot, travelable distance information DS that represents the transition of the travelable distance according to the elapsed time from warehousing in each parking lot is generated.

  The parking lot position information MP, the charge information CG, and the travelable distance information DS are displayed on the screen of the display unit 12, for example, as shown in FIG. The parking lot position information MP is displayed as a map showing the four parking lots A, B, C, and D obtained by the search together with the destination (x mark), and the charge information CG is displayed for each parking lot A , B, C, and D, the transition of the total fee according to the elapsed time from warehousing is displayed as a line graph. In addition, the travelable distance information DS may indicate the travelable distance in the portion (up to 1 hour and 50 minutes after entry) from the completion of charging on the graph line of the total charge of each parking lot A, B, C, D. Displayed as a simple scale. In this scale, the distance (260 km) that can be traveled with the initial remaining amount of electricity (the amount of electricity at the time of warehousing) obtained by the prediction calculation (see S8 in FIG. 2A) (the distance that can be traveled in a fully charged state ( (Up to 500 km) is allocated to the sloped portion of each graph line (from the time of entry until 1 hour and 50 minutes have passed).

  The user who has seen the parking lot position information MP displayed on the display unit 12 can know that there are parking lots C, A, D, and B in the order closer to the destination (x mark). In addition, the user who sees the charge information CG displayed on the display unit 12 sums up the parking charge and the charge charge corresponding to the elapsed time (parking time) from the warehousing at each parking lot A, B, C, D. You can know the transition of. In addition, from the charge information CG, the parking fee of the parking lot A is a fixed amount of 500 yen / day, the parking fee of the parking lot D is a fixed amount of 1000 yen / day, In addition, it is possible to grasp that charging is completed (full charge state) after 1 hour and 50 minutes have elapsed since entering the parking lots A, B, and C.

  When priority is given to close to the destination, such as a rainy day, from the parking location information MP and the charge information CG, the parking lot where the vehicle is to be parked is closest to the destination (× mark). Can be determined as In addition, when priority is given to a low charge, it is always possible to determine a parking lot B with a charging facility with the lowest charge as a parking lot to be parked. In addition, in this case, when it is not necessary to charge, the parking lot D can be determined as a parking lot where the own vehicle should be parked. Furthermore, if the parking time is less than 5 hours while considering both the distance from the destination (x mark) and the fee, parking lot A, which is cheaper than parking lot C, is set as the parking lot where the vehicle is to be parked. If the parking time exceeds 5 hours, the parking lot C, which is cheaper than the parking lot A, can be determined as the parking lot where the own vehicle is to be parked.

  In addition, the user who sees the travelable distance information DS displayed on the display unit 12 can know the travelable distance after the elapsed time, that is, at the time of departure of the own vehicle, and the subsequent driving plan is insufficient. It becomes possible to select a parking lot that can be obtained by charging with no running distance. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the travelable distance information DS is particularly effective as information for selecting a parking lot before full charging, that is, when the parking time is shorter than 1 hour 50 minutes.

  In the process shown in FIG. 2A, when the processing unit 10 determines that the operation for displaying the charge is not performed (NO in S4), various calculations (see S5 to S12) for each parking lot are performed. Without performing, the display process (S20) shown in FIG. 2B is performed. In this case, since the processing unit 10 does not acquire information on the parking fee, the charging fee, and the travelable distance, the location of each parking lot is displayed on the map together with the location of the destination based on the search result of the parking lot. Only the parking lot position information MP to represent is generated. Only the parking lot position information MP is displayed on the screen of the display unit 12. In this case, the user can determine the parking lot where the own vehicle should be parked based on the distance from the destination.

  If the processing unit 10 that executes the above-described display process (S20) determines that another process has been performed by the operation unit 11 (YES in S21), the display process is terminated and the specified other process is executed. (S22). For example, if a navigation processing start operation is performed, processing for route guidance to the set destination is performed. If the end operation is performed, the parking lot search process is ended and the in-vehicle navigation device 100 is returned to a predetermined state (for example, an initial state).

  According to the vehicle-mounted navigation device 100 having the function as the parking lot information providing device as described above, for each parking lot obtained by the search, the parking fee for the elapsed time after the electric vehicle enters the parking lot and Since the charge information CG indicating the transition of the total charge obtained by adding the charge charge is displayed on the display unit 12, the user who has seen the charge information CG can see the electric vehicle in the parking lot obtained by the search. It becomes possible to know the transition of the total charge between the parking fee and the charging fee with respect to the parking time (elapsed time from warehousing). As a result, the user can determine the parking lot where the own vehicle should be parked based on the sum of the parking fee and the charging fee. That is, the in-vehicle navigation device 100 (parking lot information providing device) can perform support for selecting a parking lot in consideration of a charge for charging an electric vehicle.

  In the example described above, the charge information CG represents the total charge obtained by adding the parking charge and the charge charge. However, even if the parking charge and the charge charge are separately expressed, the respective expression formats May be different. Moreover, in the example mentioned above, it can drive | work by the amount of electricity which can be used as electric quantity information showing the electric quantity which can be used by the said electric vehicle by the vehicle charge which can be made | formed by the elapsed time after an electric vehicle arrives. Although the travelable distance information DS representing the distance is used, the electricity quantity information itself can be displayed. Moreover, the information showing the ratio with respect to the maximum electric quantity (full charge state) of the electric quantity which can be utilized by charge may be sufficient.

  In the example described above, the charge information CG represents the transition according to the elapsed time of the total charge obtained by adding the parking charge and the charge charge, but represents the charge when a certain elapsed time is set. It may be. In this case, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, the display unit 12 is formed with a parking time setting window 12 a that can variably set the elapsed time from warehousing, that is, the parking time. .

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when one hour (1 hour) is set in the parking time setting window 12a, the processing unit 10 determines the parking fee for one hour for each of the parking lots A, B, C, and D. A total charge obtained by adding the charge charge is generated as charge information CG, and travelable distance information DS representing a distance that can be traveled by charging for one hour is generated. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the processing unit 10, together with the parking lot position information MP in the map format, as described above, together with the charge information CG and the travelable distance information DS corresponding to the parking time of 1 hour. It is displayed on the display unit 12 in a table format.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when 1.5 hours (1.5 hours) is set in the parking time setting window 12a, 1 for each parking lot A, B, C, D together with the parking location information MP. . Displayed on the display unit 12 is the charge information CG indicating the total charge obtained by adding the parking charge for 5 hours and the charge charge, and the travelable information DS indicating the distance that can be traveled by charging for 1.5 hours. Is done. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, when 7 hours (7 hours) is set in the parking time setting window 12a, parking for 7 hours for each of the parking lots A, B, C, and D together with the parking location information MP. Charge information CG indicating the total charge obtained by adding the charge and the charge charge and travelable information DS indicating the distance that can be traveled by charging for 7 hours are displayed on the display unit 12.

  In the in-vehicle navigation device 100 having the function of such a parking lot information providing device, when a certain amount of parking time is known in advance, the user can set the parking time and thereby determine the parking lot selection. Toll information CG and travelable distance information DS can be obtained. For example, when considering whether to select parking lot A or parking lot B that is relatively close to the destination (x mark), if the parking time is relatively short, for example, within one hour, FIG. Since the total charge obtained by adding the parking charge and the charging charge is shown to be cheaper in the parking lot A than in the parking lot C, select the parking lot A as the parking lot where the own vehicle should be parked. Can do. On the other hand, if the parking time is relatively long, for example, 7 hours or more, the charge information CG shown in FIG. 6 shows that the total charge is cheaper in the parking lot C than in the parking lot A. Parking lot C can be selected as a parking lot to be parked.

  As described above, the parking lot information providing apparatus according to the present invention has an effect of being able to perform support for selecting a parking lot that also takes into account the charging fee for the electric vehicle, and provides information on the parking lot such as a vehicle occupant. It is useful as a parking lot information providing device for providing to users.
