Description

  The present invention relates to a refueling fee settlement system, a refueling fee settlement method, a program, and a computer-readable recording medium in a car sharing system, and more specifically, a refueling fee settlement when a user refuels a vehicle. Refueling fee settlement system, refueling fee settlement method, program and computer-readable recording medium for car sharing system.

  In recent years, so-called car sharing has attracted attention as a new form of use of a car in which a single car is shared by a plurality of members.

  Here, the car sharing means that the user does not own the car, becomes a member of the management group, and borrows the car of the group as necessary.

  In addition, car sharing involves sharing a car among members within a community limited to a certain area, and checking the use state of the vehicle and making a reservation through the Internet, etc. Rent / return locations are often set as convenient locations for members to use, such as parking lots in residential apartments or near commuting stations.

  Such car sharing allows the user to reduce costs such as car acquisition costs, maintenance costs and parking fees compared to owning a car.

  In addition, the widespread use of car sharing is expected to reduce the total number of cars, and it is expected to reduce global warming caused by carbon dioxide by reducing traffic congestion in cities and reducing energy consumption. Yes.

By the way, in the conventional car sharing as described above, for example, a system as shown in the block configuration diagram of FIG. 1 is constructed, and the reservation and operation of the vehicle are managed by this system.

  That is, the conventional car sharing system 100 is connected to the personal computer 102 of the management organization of the car sharing system 100 and is also a personal computer 104 of the user who becomes a member of the management organization and the mobile phone 106 of the user. A server 108 connected via a network, a vehicle-mounted device 112 provided in the vehicle 110 and connected to the server 108 via a mobile phone network, a card reader 114 provided in the vehicle 110 and connected to the vehicle-mounted device 112 And a key box 116 which is provided in the vehicle 110 and connected to the vehicle-mounted device 112.

In the above configuration, a case where the vehicle 110 is reserved or used using the car sharing system 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

  First, when a user applies for membership registration to a management organization, the management organization creates a registration code unique to the user, distributes the registration code to the user, and also stores storage means ( (Not shown).

  Further, an IC card storing the same authentication code as the above registration code and an ID and password required when the user logs in to the reservation site provided in the server 108 are distributed to the user. The

  Here, when the user who has acquired the IC card uses the car sharing system 100 to make a reservation or use of the vehicle 110, the user uses the personal computer 104 or the mobile phone 106 to use the server 108. To access the reservation site provided in the site, input the ID and password acquired at the time of membership registration, log in, browse information such as the state of the vehicle 110 and the reservation status of the vehicle 110, and meet the user's request for the vehicle 110 Is reserved (step S202).

  When the reservation of the vehicle 110 by such a user is completed and the reservation time is reached, the reservation information is sent from the server 108 to the vehicle-mounted device 112 using the mobile phone network.

  Then, the user goes to the parking lot where the vehicle 110 is parked at the reserved time (step S204), and the card reader 114 provided in the vehicle 110 reads the IC card acquired at the time of member registration for authentication ( Step S206).

Here, the flowchart of FIG. 3 shows the detailed processing contents of the authentication processing by the IC card before using the vehicle in step S206, and it is the reservation time, and the reservation information is sent from the server 108 to the vehicle-mounted device 112. When sent, under the control of the vehicle-mounted device 112, the LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 blinks to notify the user of the activation of the card reader 114 and the card reader 114 is activated. The user who came to the parking lot where the vehicle 110 is parked at the reservation time tricks the card reader 114 into the IC card acquired at the time of member registration, and causes the card reader 114 to read the IC card (step S302).

  That is, when the user puts the IC card on the card reader 114, the card reader 114 reads the authentication code of the IC card, and outputs the read authentication code to the on-vehicle device 112. Is output to the server 108 (step S304).

  When the authentication code is input to the server 108, the server 108 determines whether or not the authentication code matches the user registration code stored in advance in the server 108 (step S306).

  If it is determined in the determination process in step S306 that the authentication code does not match the user registration code, the server 108 uses the mobile phone network to determine that the authentication code does not match the registration code. The LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 is blinked by the control of the on-vehicle device 112, and the IC card is again sent to the card reader 114 to the user. The user is warned to hesitate (step S308), and the process returns to step S302 again.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the determination process in step S306 that the authentication code and the user's registration code match, the determination result that the authentication code and the registration code match is sent from the server 108 to the mobile phone network. The LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 blinks and the speaker (not shown) provided in the key box 116 is flashed by the control of the on-vehicle device 112. ), The voice guidance indicating that the security of the vehicle 110 has been released is played, and the security of the vehicle 110 is released. Specifically, the door lock of the vehicle 110 is released and the key can be taken out from the key box 116. A state is set (step S310).

  Note that the IC card is inserted into the card reader 114 and the authentication process is started until a determination is made by the determination process whether or not the authentication code matches the registration code (that is, the authentication process is in progress). .) Flashes an LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 under the control of the vehicle-mounted device 112.

  In the above description, when the card reader 114 is activated, the LED lamp provided in the card reader 114 is controlled by the vehicle-mounted device 112 when it is determined that the authentication code and the registration code do not match during the authentication process. (Not shown) blinks, and the blinking patterns of these LED lamps are different. Therefore, the user can know what state the flashing pattern is.

When the authentication by the process of step S206 is completed, the user gets on the vehicle 110 and takes out the key from the key box 116 (step S208), uses the extracted key to start the engine and uses the vehicle 110. (Step S210).

  After that, the user who uses the vehicle 110 parks the vehicle 110 in the determined parking lot by the time the reservation time ends (step S212), returns the key of the vehicle 110 to the key box 116, Is closed (step S214).

  After the process of step S214, the IC card is again put on the card reader 114 provided in the vehicle 110, and the card reader 114 provided in the vehicle 110 is read to receive the authentication (step S216).

Here, the flowchart of FIG. 4 shows the detailed processing contents of the authentication processing by the IC card after use of the vehicle in step S216. In the authentication processing by the IC card after use of the vehicle, first, in-vehicle In the vessel 112, it is determined whether the engine of the vehicle 110 is stopped, the key is returned to the key box 116, and all the doors of the vehicle 110 are closed (step S402).

  In the determination process of step S402, one of the three of "stop of engine of vehicle 110", "return of key to key box", and "all doors of vehicle 110 are closed" is performed. If it is determined that the vehicle 110 is not used, it is determined that the vehicle 110 is continuously used, and the process is terminated without performing the authentication process.

  On the other hand, in the determination process of step S402, when it is determined that the engine of the vehicle 110 is stopped, the key is returned to the key box 116, and all the doors of the vehicle 110 are closed, the vehicle-mounted device 112 is used. By controlling the above, the LED lamp (not shown) provided on the card reader 114 is blinked to notify the user that the card reader 114 is activated, and the user is prompted to insert an IC card into the card reader 114. Is played from a speaker (not shown) provided in the key box 116, and the card reader 114 provided in the vehicle 110 is activated.

  Then, the user puts the IC card on the card reader 114 and causes the card reader 114 to read the IC card (step S404).

  That is, when the user puts the IC card on the card reader 114, the card reader 114 reads the authentication code of the IC card, outputs the read authentication code to the on-vehicle device 112, and the on-vehicle device 112 outputs the mobile phone network. Is output to the server 108 using (step S406).

  When the authentication code is input to the server 108, the server 108 determines whether or not the authentication code matches the user registration code stored in the server 108 in advance (step S408).

  If it is determined in step S408 that the authentication code and the user's registration code do not match, the server 108 sends a determination result that the authentication code and the registration code do not match to the mobile phone network. The LED lamp (not shown) provided on the card reader 114 is blinked by the control of the on-vehicle device 112, and the IC card is again sent to the card reader 114 by the user. Is warned (step S410), and the process returns to step S404 again.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S408 that the authentication code matches the user's registration code, the server 108 registers that matches the authentication code from the reservation information managed by the server 108. The reservation status of the code user is confirmed (step S412), and it is determined whether or not the vehicle 110 used by the user exists (step S414).

  If it is determined in step S414 that the vehicle 110 being used by the user does not exist, the determination result that the vehicle 110 being used by the user does not exist is sent from the server 108 to the mobile phone. The processing is terminated without starting the security of the vehicle 110 in a state where the card reader 114 is activated under the control of the on-vehicle device 112 using the network.

  In other words, if it is determined in step S414 that the vehicle 110 used by the user does not exist, it is determined that the vehicle 110 cannot be returned by the user, and the vehicle 110 is returned. This is a state in which the vehicle 110 is not being used.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S414 that the vehicle 110 used by the user exists, the determination result that the vehicle 110 used by the user exists is sent from the server 108 to the mobile phone network. Is output to the vehicle-mounted device 112, and under the control of the vehicle-mounted device 112, an LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 is blinked to notify the completion of the return processing of the vehicle 110, and the vehicle 110 Is activated, specifically, the door of the vehicle 110 is locked and the key cannot be removed from the key box 116 (step S416).

  Until the IC reader is deceived by the card reader 114 and the authentication process is started, and a determination is made based on the determination process whether or not the vehicle 110 used by the user exists (that is, the return process is in progress). The LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 blinks under the control of the vehicle-mounted device 112.

  In the above description, when the card reader 114 is activated, during the return process, when it is determined that the authentication code and the registration code do not match, and when it is determined that the vehicle 110 used by the user exists The LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 is caused to blink under the control of the vehicle-mounted device 112. The blinking patterns of these LED lamps are different. Therefore, the user can know what the state is based on the difference in the blinking pattern.

When the authentication by the process of step S216 described above is completed, the in-vehicle device 112 confirms the travel distance, travel time, state of the vehicle 110, and the like, and outputs the confirmed information to the server 108. 102, the server 108 is accessed, a fee for using the vehicle 110 is calculated based on the information from the vehicle-mounted device 112, and the calculated fee is notified to the member's personal computer 104 or the mobile phone 106 (step S218).

By the way, in the conventional car sharing system, the fuel charge is included in the usage fee, and usually the administrative organization performs refueling, but the user needs to refuel during long-term use There is.

  When the vehicle 110 is refueled by the user, the user renews the refueling fee, and later sends a receipt to the management organization to charge the refueling fee to the management organization for settlement. It was.

  However, the reimbursement process, in which the user recharges the refueling fee, charges the renewed refueling fee to the management organization at a later date, and is settled, is a burdensome process for the user. It was.

  In addition, the settlement system 16 indicates the fuel card information that is stored in the fuel card read by the fuel card reader 18, the fuel supply date / time information indicating the date and time of fueling the vehicle, and the amount of fuel supplied. The fuel supply amount information and the payment amount information paid by the user according to the fuel supply amount are acquired.

  That is, when the user performs refueling by the settlement system 16, refueling card information, refueling date / time information, fuel refueling amount information, and payment amount information are always acquired.

  Such a settlement system 16 may be constructed by a computer system.

In the above configuration, a case where the reservation and use of the vehicle 110 are performed using the car sharing system 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. First, the function of each component will be described.

  First, the main controller 12 c inputs various information from the server 108, the monitoring unit 12 e, and the GPS satellite 16, stores the input information, and outputs various information to the server 108.

  Further, the main controller 12c performs output for controlling the components such as the operation unit 12d, the monitoring unit 12e, the audio module 12f, the card reader 114, and the key box 116.

  The operation unit 12d controls the main controller 12c when it is determined that the key is used to open the door and start the engine without authentication processing based on the monitoring result of the ignition 110d in the monitoring unit 12e. Thus, the engine starter 110a is controlled so as not to be started so that the engine is not started.

  Further, when the operation unit 12d inputs information from the main controller 12c that the authentication process has been completed, the operation unit 12d controls the door lock / unlock system 110b to lock and unlock the door of the vehicle 110.

  In addition, the monitoring unit 12e monitors the door open / close state by acquiring an open / close signal from the door switch 110c, and monitors whether the engine is in an activated state by acquiring an IG signal from the ignition 110d. And monitoring whether the vehicle 110 is in an operating state by acquiring a potential from the battery voltage detector 110e, and acquiring a remaining fuel signal from the remaining fuel detector 110f. Monitor the amount, monitor the mileage of the vehicle 110 by acquiring a vehicle speed signal from the vehicle speed detector 110g, and monitor the date and time when predetermined processing is performed by acquiring the date and time from the clock 110h. And monitoring the presence or absence of a key by acquiring predetermined information from the key box 116 And it outputs these monitoring results to the main controller 12c.

  The GPS module 12a acquires a GPS signal from the GPS satellite 16 and outputs the GPS signal to the main controller 12c. In the main controller 12c, position information of the vehicle 110 based on the acquired GPS signal. To get.

  The communication module 12b outputs various information in the main controller 12c to the server 108 using the mobile phone network, and inputs various information output from the server 108 using the mobile phone network to the main controller 12c. .

  The voice module 12f plays voice guidance from a speaker (not shown) provided in the key box 116.

  The activation of the card reader 114 is controlled by the main controller 12c, and when the IC card is put in the reading unit (not shown), the authentication code is read from the IC card and read. Is output to the main controller 12c.

  Further, the card reader 114 is provided with an LED lamp (not shown). Under the control of the main controller 12c, the LED lamp (not shown) is blinked to give the card reader a card reader. 114 is prompted to trick the IC card.

  The key box 116 is controlled by the main controller 12c so that the key can be taken out or impossible after the authentication process is completed, and a voice guidance from the voice module 12f is provided (see FIG. (Not shown).

  The settlement system 16 is constructed by a computer system as described above.

Next, the refueling fee settlement process in the car sharing system 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, when using the car sharing system 10, when a user applies for membership registration to a management organization, the management organization creates a registration code unique to the user and distributes the registration code to the user. The data is stored in storage means (not shown) provided in 108.

  Further, an IC card storing the same authentication code as the registration code described above and an ID and password necessary for the user to access the reservation site provided in the server 108 are distributed to the user. The

  Then, the user who has completed membership registration with the management organization and has obtained the IC card accesses the reservation site provided in the server 108 using the personal computer 104 or the mobile phone 106 in the car sharing system 10. The user logs in by entering the ID and password acquired at the time of member registration, browses information such as the state of the vehicle 110 and the reservation status of the vehicle 110, and reserves the vehicle 110 that meets the user's request (step S602).

  When the reservation of the vehicle 110 by the user is completed and the reservation time is reached, this reservation information is output from the server 108 to the main controller 12c via the communication module 12b using the mobile phone network.

  Then, the user goes to the parking lot where the vehicle 110 is parked at the reserved time (step S604), and the authentication process is performed by tricking the card reader 114 provided in the vehicle 110 with the IC card acquired at the time of member registration. This is performed (step S606).

Here, the flowchart of FIG. 7 shows the detailed processing contents of the authentication process before using the vehicle in step S606. In the authentication process before using the vehicle, first, the reservation time is reached and the server 108 When the reservation information is output to the main controller 12c, the LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 is blinked under the control of the main controller 12c to notify the user of the activation of the card reader 114.

  Since the card reader 114 is activated at the reservation time, the user who came to the parking lot where the vehicle 110 is parked at the reservation time tricks the card reader 114 with the IC card obtained at the time of membership registration. The card reader 114 is caused to read the IC card (step S702).

  That is, when the user puts the IC card on the card reader 114, the card reader 114 reads the authentication code of the IC card, outputs the read authentication code to the main controller 12c, and the communication module 12b from the main controller 12c. The data is output to the server 108 via the mobile phone network (step S704).

  When the authentication code is input to the server 108, the server 108 determines whether or not the authentication code matches the user registration code stored in advance in the server 108 (step S706).

  If it is determined in step S706 that the authentication code does not match the user registration code, the server 108 uses the mobile phone network to determine that the authentication code does not match the registration code. Then, the data is output to the main controller 12c via the communication module 12b, and the LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 is blinked under the control of the main controller 12c, so that the IC can be connected to the user again. A warning is given to the card reader 114 to trick the card (step S708), and the process returns to step S702 again.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S706 that the authentication code matches the user's registration code, the server 108 sends a determination result that the authentication code matches the registration code to the mobile phone network. The LED lamp (not shown) provided on the card reader 114 is blinked by the control of the main controller 12c, and the key box is provided via the voice module 12f. A voice guidance indicating that the security of the vehicle has been released is played from a speaker (not shown) provided at 116, and the security of the vehicle 110 is released, specifically, the door lock of the vehicle 110 is released, A state in which the key can be taken out from the key box 116 (Step S710).

  Note that the IC card is inserted into the card reader 114 and the authentication process is started until a determination is made by the determination process whether or not the authentication code matches the registration code (that is, the authentication process is in progress). .) Flashes an LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 under the control of the main controller 12c.

  In the above description, when the card reader 114 is activated, during the authentication process, when it is determined that the authentication code and the registration code do not match, when it is determined that the authentication code and the registration code match, the main code The LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 is caused to blink under the control of the controller 12c. The blinking patterns of these LED lamps are different. Therefore, the user can know what the state is based on the difference in the blinking pattern.

As described above, when the authentication is completed by the authentication process before using the vehicle in step S606, the card reader 114 is turned off by the main controller 12c, and the user gets on the vehicle 110 and presses the key from the key box 114. Taking out (step S608), the engine is started using the taken out key. At this time, in the main controller 12c, based on the monitoring result of the ignition 110d in the monitoring unit 12e, the fuel remaining amount detector 110f in the monitoring unit 12e. Starts monitoring (step S610).

  That is, in the main controller 12c, when the monitoring unit 12e receives the monitoring result of the ignition 110d and determines that the engine of the vehicle 110 is started, the monitoring unit 12e monitors the fuel remaining amount detector 110f, thereby 110 starts monitoring the remaining amount of fuel.

  Then, the user uses the vehicle 110 that has been started by using the engine (step S612).

  Note that when using the vehicle 110, it may be necessary to refuel the vehicle 110. In this case, the user moves the vehicle to a gas station where a refueling card provided in the vehicle 110 can be used in advance. Move and refuel using a refueling card. At that time, the fuel card reader is made to read the fuel card at the gas station. Then, when refueling to the vehicle 110 is completed, the user pays a fee corresponding to the refueling amount to the gas station.

  Here, in the vehicle 110, while the vehicle 110 is being used by the user, the remaining amount of fuel in the vehicle 110 is always monitored by the monitoring unit 12e. Based on this, it is determined whether or not the user has refueled the vehicle 110 in the main controller 12c.

  That is, only when the remaining amount of fuel is confirmed by the monitoring unit 12, the main controller 12c determines that the user has refueled the vehicle 110.

  When the main controller 12c determines that the user has refueled the vehicle 110, that is, when the monitoring result indicating that the remaining amount of fuel has increased from the monitoring unit 12e is output to the main controller 12c, FIG. A processing routine for refueling fee settlement processing shown in FIG.

When the processing routine of the refueling fee settlement processing is started, first, refueling that is information on the date and time when it is determined that the main controller 12c has been refueled based on the monitoring result by the monitoring unit 12e connected to the clock 110h provided in the vehicle 110. The date / time information is stored in a storage area (not shown) provided in the main controller 12c (step S802).

  Next, based on the monitoring result by the monitoring unit 12e connected to the fuel remaining amount detector 110f, the main controller 12c determines the fuel remaining amount information before refueling, which is information on the remaining amount of fuel before refueling, and the remaining fuel amount after refueling. Information on the remaining amount of fuel after refueling is stored in a storage area (not shown) provided in the main controller 12c (step S804).

  And the vehicle information for specifying the vehicle 110 memorize | stored beforehand in the main controller 12c, the fueling date information memorize | stored in the storage area (not shown) of the main controller 12c by the process of step S802, and step S804 By this processing, the fuel remaining amount information before refueling and the fuel remaining amount information after refueling stored in the storage area (not shown) of the main controller 12c are output from the main controller 12c to the server 108 as refueling information detected by the vehicle-mounted device. (Step S806).

  When the user refuels the vehicle 110 and a fee corresponding to the amount of refueling is paid from the user to the gas station and the refueling card reader reads the refueling card, the payment is obtained in the settlement system 16. The refueling card information, the refueling date information, the fuel refueling amount information, and the payment amount information are output from the reimbursement system 16 to the personal computer 102 of the management organization as refueling information detected by the reimbursement system (step S808). Information is output from the personal computer 102 to the server 108 (step S810).

  Next, in the server 108, the vehicle 110 equipped with the refueling card in which the refueling card information is written is specified from the refueling card information in the refueling system detection refueling information output to the server 108 by the process of step S810. Thus, the vehicle information of the refueled vehicle 110 is acquired (step S812), and the acquired vehicle information matches the vehicle information in the refueling information detected by the onboard device output to the server 108 by the process of step S806. It is determined whether or not to perform (step S814).

  In the determination process of step S814, when it is determined that the vehicle information of the vehicle 110 specified from the refueling card information does not match the vehicle information in the refueling information detected by the in-vehicle device, the vehicle 110 specified from the refueling card information. The judgment result that the vehicle information of the vehicle and the vehicle information in the refueling information detected by the in-vehicle device do not match is output to the personal computer 102, the judgment result is displayed on the display screen of the personal computer 102, and notified to the management organization (Step S816).

  In the management organization to which the judgment result is notified by the process of step S816, the cause of the judgment result is investigated from the content of the notified judgment result, and the payment amount information in the refueling information detected by the settlement system is displayed. Based on this, the decision is made to withhold the refund of the fuel charge to the user (step S818), and the determined information is stored in the storage area (not shown) provided in the server 108 in association with the vehicle information as the fuel charge settlement information. Then, this processing routine is finished.

  If it is determined in the determination process in step S814 that the vehicle information of the vehicle 110 specified from the refueling card information matches the vehicle information in the refueling information detected by the onboard device, the process in step S806 is performed next. Whether the refueling date / time information in the refueling information detected by the in-vehicle device output to the server 108 matches the refueling date / time information in the refueling information detected by the settlement system output to the server 108 in step S810. Is determined (step S820).

  In the determination process of step S820, when it is determined that the refueling date / time information in the refueling information detected by the vehicle-mounted device does not match the refueling date / time information in the refueling information detected by the settlement system, the processing in step S816 is performed. Then, the determination result that the refueling date information in the refueling information detected by the on-vehicle device does not match the refueling date information in the refueling information detected by the settlement system is output to the personal computer 102, and the display screen of the personal computer 102 is displayed. The judgment result is displayed above and notified to the management organization.

  When the process of step S816 is completed, the process proceeds to the process of step S818. In the management organization that is notified of the determination result, the cause of the determination result is investigated from the contents of the notified determination result, and the settlement system is detected. The decision is made to suspend the refueling fee reimbursement for the user based on the payment amount information of the refueling information, and the vehicle is stored in a storage area (not shown) provided in the server 108 as the refueling fee settlement information. The processing routine is terminated after storing the information in association with the information.

  If it is determined in step S820 that the refueling date / time information in the refueling information detected by the vehicle-mounted device matches the refueling date / time information in the refueling information detected by the settlement system, then the on-vehicle The difference in the remaining amount of fuel is calculated from the remaining fuel amount information before refueling and the remaining fuel amount information after refueling in the refueling information detected by the detector, and the approximate refueling amount of fuel supplied to the vehicle 110 is calculated ( Step S822), whether or not the calculated fuel amount and the fuel amount information of the fuel amount information detected by the settlement system substantially match, in other words, whether or not they are within a preset difference range. Is performed (step S824).

  In the determination process of step S824, the amount of fuel calculated from the fuel remaining amount information before refueling and the fuel remaining amount information after refueling does not substantially match the fuel amount of fuel information included in the refueling information detected by the settlement system. If it is determined that the difference is not within the preset difference range, the process proceeds to step S816, and the amount of fuel calculated from the fuel remaining amount information before refueling and the fuel remaining amount information after refueling is calculated. The determination result that the fuel supply amount information in the refueling information does not substantially match is output to the personal computer 102, the determination result is displayed on the display screen of the personal computer 102, and the management organization is notified.

  When the process of step S816 is completed, the process proceeds to the process of step S818. In the management organization that is notified of the determination result, the cause of the determination result is investigated from the contents of the notified determination result, and the settlement system is detected. The decision is made to suspend the refueling fee reimbursement for the user based on the payment amount information of the refueling information, and the vehicle is stored in a storage area (not shown) provided in the server 108 as the refueling fee settlement information. The processing routine is terminated after storing the information in association with the information.

  Further, in the determination process of step S824, the amount of fuel calculated from the fuel remaining amount information before refueling and the fuel remaining amount information after refueling substantially matches the fuel refueling amount information in the refueling information detected by the settlement system. That is, when it is determined that the difference is within a preset difference range, a decision is made to refund the refueling fee based on the payment amount information of the refueling information detected by the settlement system to the user (step In step S826, the determined information is stored in association with the vehicle information in a storage area (not shown) provided in the server 108 as refueling fee settlement information, and this processing routine is terminated.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the user has not refueled the vehicle 110, that is, if the monitoring result that the remaining amount of fuel has increased from the monitoring unit 12e is not output to the main controller 12c, the refueling fee settlement processing The process proceeds to step S614 without being performed.

  Then, as the process of step S614, the vehicle 110 is parked at a predetermined return position until the reservation time ends, and the engine of the vehicle 110 is stopped using the key. At this time, in the main controller 12c, Based on the monitoring result of the ignition 12d in the monitoring unit 12e, the monitoring of the fuel remaining amount detector 110f is terminated in the monitoring unit 12e.

  That is, in the main controller 12c, when the monitoring unit 12e receives the monitoring result of the ignition 110d and determines that the engine of the vehicle 110 is stopped, the monitoring unit 12e ends the monitoring of the fuel remaining amount detector 110f. Monitoring of the remaining amount of fuel in the vehicle 110 is terminated.

  Then, the key of the vehicle 110 is returned to the key box 116, and all the doors of the vehicle 110 are closed (step S616).

  After the processing of step S620, the IC card is again put on the card reader 114 provided in the vehicle 110, and the card reader 114 provided in the vehicle 110 is read to authenticate (step S618).

Here, the flowchart of FIG. 9 shows the detailed contents of the authentication process after using the vehicle in step S618. In the authentication process after using the vehicle, first, the ignition 110d, key, and key in the monitoring unit 12e are shown. Whether the engine of the vehicle 110 is stopped by the main controller 12c based on the monitoring result of the box 116 and the door switch 110c, the key is returned to the key box 116, and all the doors of the vehicle 110 are closed. Is determined (step S902).

  In the determination processing in step S902, one of the three of "stop of engine of vehicle 110", "return of key to key box 116", and "all doors of vehicle 110 are closed" is performed. If it is determined that the vehicle 110 is not used, it is determined that the vehicle 110 is to be used continuously, and the process is terminated without performing the authentication process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S902 that the engine of the vehicle 110 is stopped, the key is returned to the key box 116, and all the doors of the vehicle 110 are closed, the main controller 12c. Under the control, an LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 is blinked to notify the user of the activation of the card reader 114 and to the user via the voice module 12f. Voice guidance for prompting the user to pick up the IC card is played from a speaker (not shown) provided in the key box 116, and the card reader 114 provided in the vehicle 110 is activated.

  Then, the user puts the IC card on the card reader 114 and causes the card reader 114 to read the IC card (step S904).

  That is, when the user puts the IC card on the card reader 114, the card reader 114 reads the authentication code of the IC card, outputs the read authentication code to the main controller 12c, and the communication module 12b from the main controller 12c. Then, the data is input to the server 108 using the mobile phone network (step S906).

  When the authentication code is input to the server 108, the server 108 determines whether the authentication code matches the user registration code stored in the server 108 in advance (step S908).

  If it is determined in step S908 that the authentication code does not match the user's registration code, the server 108 determines that the authentication code does not match the registration code. By using the network to output to the main controller 12c via the communication module 12b, and by controlling the main controller 12c, an LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 blinks, thereby The card reader 114 is warned again to pick up the IC card (step S910), and the process returns to step S904 again.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S908 that the authentication code matches the user registration code, the server 108 registers the authentication code that matches the authentication code from the reservation information managed by the server 108. The reservation status of the code user is confirmed (step S912), and it is determined whether or not the vehicle 110 used by the user exists (step S914).

  In the determination process of step S914, when it is determined that the vehicle 110 used by the user does not exist, the determination result that the vehicle 110 used by the user does not exist is obtained from the server 108. Using the cellular phone network, the data is output to the main controller 12c via the communication module 12b. With the card reader 114 activated by the main controller 12c, the processing is terminated without activating the security of the vehicle 110.

  That is, if it is determined in step S914 that the vehicle 110 used by the user does not exist, it is determined that the vehicle 110 cannot be returned by the user, and the vehicle 110 is returned. This is a state where the vehicle 110 is not being used, that is, the user is using the vehicle 110.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S914 that the vehicle 110 used by the user is present, the server 108 determines that the vehicle 110 used by the user is present from the mobile phone. Output to the main controller 12 via the communication module 12b using the network, and the LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 is blinked under the control of the main controller 12c, and the return processing of the vehicle 110 is completed. In addition, the vehicle 110 is activated, specifically, the vehicle 110 is locked and the key cannot be removed from the key box 116 (step S916).

  Note that the IC card is deceived by the card reader 114 and the authentication process is started, until a determination is made based on whether or not the vehicle 110 used by the user exists (that is, during the return process). Is blinking an LED lamp (not shown) provided in the card reader 114 under the control of the main controller 12c.

  In the above description, when the card reader 114 is activated, during the return process, when it is determined that the authentication code and the registration code do not match, and when it is determined that the vehicle 110 used by the user exists The LED lamp (not shown) provided on the card reader 114 is caused to blink under the control of the main controller 12c. The blinking patterns of these LED lamps (not shown) are different from each other. Therefore, the user can know what the state is based on the difference in the blinking pattern.

When the authentication by the authentication process after using the vehicle in step S618 is completed, the power of the card reader 114 is turned off by the main controller 12c, and in the vehicle 110 after the use is finished, the monitoring unit 12e runs the running time, the running distance, The remaining amount of fuel, the state of the vehicle 110, and the like are monitored, and this monitoring information is output to the main controller 12c. Further, the main controller 12c associates the monitoring information with vehicle information that identifies the vehicle 110, and is associated with the vehicle information. The monitored information is output from the main controller 12c to the server 108 via the communication module 12b using the mobile phone network.

  Based on the monitoring information output to the server 108 in this way, the management organization accesses the management system of the server 108 from the personal computer 102, calculates the fee generated by using the vehicle 110, and uses the calculated fee as the personal information of the user. The computer 104 and the mobile phone 106 are notified (step S620).

  More specifically, in the process of step S620, the personal computer 102 determines whether there is refueling fee settlement information associated with vehicle information that matches vehicle information associated with the monitoring information output from the server 108. If there is no refueling fee settlement information, the fee generated by using the vehicle 110 is calculated based on the monitoring information, and the calculated fee is notified to the user's personal computer 104 or the mobile phone 106.

  On the other hand, if there is refueling fee settlement information associated with vehicle information that matches the vehicle information associated with the monitoring information output in the server 108, execution or suspension of refueling fee reimbursement based on the refueling fee settlement information In addition, the fee generated by using the vehicle 110 is calculated based on the monitoring information, and the calculated fee is notified to the user's personal computer 104 and the mobile phone 106.

  In addition, when the refund of the fueling fee is suspended based on the fueling fee settlement information, the reason for the suspension is notified to the user together with the calculated fee via the personal computer 104 or the mobile phone 106. .

  In addition, when a refueling fee is reimbursed based on refueling fee reimbursement information, the amount reimbursed by the reimbursement is combined with the fee calculated based on the monitoring information, that is, the difference is calculated and used The user may be charged or refunded, or the user may be charged and refunded separately.

As described above, in the car sharing system 10, the main controller 12 always uses the monitoring unit 12e from when the user starts the engine to when the engine is stopped until the engine is stopped. When the remaining fuel amount detector 110f is monitored and it is determined that the remaining amount of fuel has increased and the vehicle 110 has been refueled, the refueling information detected by the vehicle-mounted device 12 and detected by the checkout system 16 If the comparison result is determined to match, the user will be reimbursed for the refueling fee paid when refueling. Therefore, the processing to be performed is eliminated, and the burden on the user in the refund of the fueling fee is eliminated.

The embodiment described above may be modified as shown in the following (1) to (11).

  (1) In the above-described embodiment, the refueling fee paid when refueling is simply refunded to the user, but the refueling fee paid when refueling is fixed to the user. It goes without saying that the amount of money (for example, 5% of the fueling fee) may be refunded by adding to the fueling fee.

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, the user pays the fueling fee according to the fueling amount to the gas station, but the fueling fee according to the fueling amount from the fueling company that operates the gas station. May be charged to the management organization side so that the user does not pay the refueling fee.

  Thereby, the user does not need to change the fee generated by refueling, and the burden on the user is further reduced.

  Therefore, in the case of the modified example shown in (1), the user will be reimbursed only for a certain rate that is added to the refueling fee according to the refueling amount by refueling the vehicle 110. .

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, in the determination process in step S824, the fuel supply amount in the fuel supply information detected in the settlement system 16 and the pre-fuel supply fuel in the fuel supply information detected in the vehicle-mounted device 12. The fuel amount calculated from the remaining amount information and the fuel remaining amount information after refueling is compared to determine whether or not they substantially match. However, the present invention is not limited to this. If the remaining amount detector 110f can accurately measure the remaining amount of fuel, the price per liter of fuel is used instead of the fuel amount information as the refueling information detected in the settlement system 16 at the gas station. The information is output to the server 108, and the fuel supply amount is calculated from the price information and the payment amount information of the fuel supply information detected by the settlement system 16 The fuel supply amount calculated in this way matches the fuel supply amount calculated from the fuel remaining amount information before fueling and the fuel remaining amount information after fueling in the fueling information detected by the vehicle-mounted device 12. You may make it judge whether to do.

  (5) Although not particularly described in the above-described embodiment, when the reservation end time of the vehicle 110 is approaching, the monitoring result of the watch 110h by the monitoring unit 12e is received, and the main controller 12c performs a sound.
