The control unit 101 stores the plurality of received passcodes in the storage unit 102 as shown in FIG. 9B in the order of reception (step S4). Further, the control unit 101 (setting unit 1004) sets the first pass code (in this case, “1001”) received as the pass code for unlocking the electronic lock 3 (step S5). After completing the setting of the passcode, the control unit 101 transmits a message including the device identifier and notifying that the passcode has been received to the vehicle management device 20 (step S6). When the communication unit 205 receives this message, the control unit 201 sets a passcode to be sent to a user who borrows a rental bicycle (step S7). Specifically, the control unit 201 sets the “received” flag stored in association with the device identifier included in the message to “1”. In addition, the control unit 201 sets “1” to the “valid” cell in the row in which the “received” flag is 1. In the “valid” cell, a value indicating which pass code among the first pass code to the fourth pass code is set as the pass code for unlocking the electronic lock 3 is stored. Here, when “1” is stored, the first pass code is set, and when “2” is stored, the second pass code is set. When “3” is stored, the third pass code is set, and when “4” is stored, the fourth pass code is set. By referencing the “received” flag, it is possible to determine whether or not the attached device 10 has received the issued passcode. Further, by referring to the “valid” cell, it is possible to know which pass code is set as the pass code for unlocking the electronic lock 3 in the attached device 10.

  A user who borrows a rental bicycle operates the terminal device 30 to access the vehicle management device 20 and obtains a passcode for unlocking the electronic lock 3. Specifically, first, the user accesses the vehicle management device 20, and the vehicle management device 20 authenticates the user (step S8). Here, when the user operates the Web browser on the terminal device 30 and performs an operation of accessing a Web page for logging in to the vehicle management device 20, a message requesting the Web page is transmitted to the vehicle management device 20. . In response to this message, the vehicle management device 20 transmits a web page for inputting a user identifier and a password for authenticating the user to the terminal device 30.

The vehicle management device 20 transmits a web page of a menu screen of a service provided to the user to the terminal device 30 when the set of the transmitted user identifier and password is stored.

  Next, an operation of selecting a bicycle parking lot for the rental bicycle is performed (step S9). Here, when the user performs an operation of transitioning to a page for selecting a bicycle parking lot from the menu screen, a web page that displays a map of a plurality of bicycle parking lots for rental bicycles is sent from the vehicle management device 20 to the terminal device 30, and this web page Is displayed on the terminal device 30. When the user performs an operation of selecting a bicycle parking lot from the displayed bicycle parking lot, a web page that displays a list of rental bicycles stored in the bicycle parking lot is transmitted from the vehicle management device 20 to the terminal device 30, and the rental bicycle Is displayed on the terminal device 30.

  Next, an operation of selecting a rental bicycle to be borrowed is performed (step S10). Here, when the user performs an operation on the terminal device 30 to select a rental bicycle to be borrowed from the displayed rental bicycle list, the vehicle management device 20 is notified of the identifier of the selected rental bicycle. For example, when a rental bicycle having the attached device 10A is selected, the vehicle management device 20 is notified of the identifier of the rental bicycle.

  When the communication unit 205 receives the rental bicycle identifier selected by the user, the control unit 201 sets the “valid” cell in the pass code received by the attached device 10A fixed to the rental bicycle with the identifier. The passcode specified by the stored value (here, the first passcode “1001” in the row where the “received” flag is 1) is selected. And the control part 201 (2nd transmission part 2002) transmits the web page which displays the selected passcode to the terminal device 30 (step S11). When receiving this Web page, the terminal device 30 displays the received Web page. As a result, the user can know the pass code for using the rental bicycle selected by the user (step S12). Further, the vehicle management device 20 stores the device identifier of the attached device 10A fixed to the selected rental bicycle and the user identifier of the user in association with each other.

  Thereafter, the user goes to the bicycle parking lot where the selected rental bicycle is located, and operates the attached device 10A provided on the selected rental bicycle. Specifically, the user first presses a start button. When the start button is pressed, the control unit 101 controls the display unit 103 so that a message prompting the input of a passcode is displayed. Next, when the user inputs a pass code with the numeric keypad of the operation unit 104, the control unit 101 (pass code receiving unit 1003) receives the input pass code (step S13). The control unit 101 (lock control unit 1002) determines whether the accepted passcode matches the set passcode, and the normal mode is selected, and the accepted passcode matches the set passcode. The electronic lock 3 is unlocked (step S14). Thereby, the user can use the rental bicycle having the attached device 10A.

  When unlocking the electronic lock 3, the control unit 101 controls the communication unit 105 to transmit a message including the device identifier stored in the storage unit 102 and notifying the start of rental to the vehicle management device 20 (step). S15). When the communication unit 205 receives this message, the control unit 201 manages that the rental bicycle having the attached device 10A having the device identifier included in the message is being rented.

  Next, the operation when returning a rental bicycle will be described. When the user goes to the bicycle parking lot where the transmitter 40 is located and the attached device 10A enters the range in which the radio waves output from the transmitter 40 can be received, the short-range communication unit 108 receives the device identifier transmitted by the transmitter 40. (Step S16). The control unit 101 (identifier acquisition unit 1005) acquires the bicycle parking lot identifier received by the short-range communication unit 108. The control unit 101 (determination unit 1006) determines whether the acquired bicycle parking lot identifier is stored in the storage unit 102 (step S17). As described above, in this operation example, the bicycle parking lot identifier transmitted by the transmitter 40 is stored in the storage unit 102. When the received bicycle parking identifier is stored in the storage unit 102, the control unit 101 determines that the rental bicycle can be returned, and controls the display unit 103 so that a message prompting locking is displayed. The user who sees this message locks the electronic lock 3 (step S18).

  When the control unit 101 determines that the rental bicycle can be returned, the control unit 101 accepts pressing of an end button. For example, the control unit 101 may light the end button to indicate to the user that the rental can be completed, or may display a message prompting the user to press the end button on the display unit 103. When the user presses the end button (step S19), the control unit 101 controls the communication unit 105 to transmit a message that includes its own device identifier and notifies the end of rental to the vehicle management device 20 (step S19). S20). When the process of step S20 ends, the control unit 101 (setting unit 1004), among the four stored pass codes, transmits the second pass code (second pass code transmitted next as the pass code for unlocking the electronic lock 3). Here, “2342”) is set (step S21).

  When the communication unit 205 receives the message transmitted in step S20, the control unit 201 identifies a user identifier stored in association with the device identifier included in the received message, and associates the user identifier with the user identifier. The stored e-mail address is acquired from the storage unit 102. Then, the control unit 201 generates an e-mail notifying the end of rental and transmits the acquired e-mail address as a destination (step S22).

  Moreover, the vehicle management apparatus 20 sets the passcode transmitted to the next user (step S23). Specifically, the control unit 201 identifies a row in which the “received” flag is 1 among the rows stored in association with the device identifier included in the received message. The value of the “valid” cell is set to 2. Next, the control unit 201 issues a plurality of new pass codes, and associates the issued first to fourth pass codes, the disaster pass code, and the device identifier included in the received message. Then, the data is stored in the storage unit 202 as shown in FIG. In the newly issued passcode row, the “received” flag is set to “0” and the value of the “valid” cell is set to 0. When the storage of the passcode is completed, the control unit 201 transmits a message requesting to set a passcode to the auxiliary device 10 including the disaster passcode and a plurality of newly issued passcodes (step S24). ). Here, the plurality of pass codes are transmitted in the order of the first pass code, the second pass code, the third pass code, the fourth pass code, and the disaster pass code.

  In the attached device 10A, when the communication unit 105 receives the plurality of pass codes transmitted in step S24, the control unit 101 receives the plurality of received pass codes in the order in which the received pass codes are received as illustrated in FIG. It memorize | stores in the memory | storage part 102 (step S25). The control unit 101 overwrites the passcode stored in the storage unit 102 with the newly received passcode, and deletes the passcode stored in step S4. In addition, the control unit 101 (setting unit 1004) sets the first pass code (in this case, “2001”) that is received as a pass code for unlocking the electronic lock 3 (step S26). After completing the setting of the passcode, the control unit 101 transmits a message including the device identifier and notifying that the passcode has been received to the vehicle management device 20 (step S27). When the communication unit 205 receives this message, the control unit 201 sets a passcode to be transmitted to the next user (step S28). Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 9E, the control unit 201 sets the “received” flag to “1” among the information stored in association with the device identifier included in the message. ”(The first line in FIG. 9C) is deleted, and the“ Received ”flag is“ 0 ”in the“ Received ”line (the second line in FIG. 9C). Is set to “1”, and the value of the “valid” cell in the row is set to 1. That is, the pass code newly issued in step S23 becomes the received pass code.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 10, an operation example when renting a rental bicycle when it is determined that a disaster has occurred will be described. In the following description, the first to fourth pass codes and the disaster pass code are transmitted from the vehicle management device 20 in advance, and the attached device 10A and the attached device 10B store the transmitted pass codes. An example of the operation will be described assuming the current state.

  The attached devices 10A and 10B transmit the device identifier and the position information to the vehicle management device 20 in the first cycle indicating a predetermined cycle (steps S31 and S33). The first period may be set by operating the operation unit 104, or information indicating the first period is transmitted from the vehicle management device 20, and the control unit 101 determines that the first period is in accordance with the transmitted information. The first period may be set. Further, the information periodically transmitted from the accessory devices 10A and 10B to the vehicle management device 20 may include information indicating the remaining amount of the secondary battery serving as a power source, for example. When acquiring the device identifier and the position information, the control unit 201 transmits a response message notifying that the position information has been received to the attached devices 10A and 10B (steps S32 and S34). The control unit 201 stores the device identifier and the position information in association with each other, and monitors the position of the attached device 10.

  The attached devices 10A and 10B transmit the device identifier and the position information in the first period. However, when a disaster occurs and a failure occurs in the communication network 2, the transmitted device identifier and the position information do not reach the vehicle management device 20. Since the vehicle management device 20 does not transmit a response message, the attached devices 10A and 10B cannot receive the response message from the vehicle management device 20.

When the period during which the response message cannot be received from the vehicle management apparatus 20 exceeds a predetermined period, the control unit 101 of the attached devices 10A and 10B sends a message notifying that communication with the vehicle management apparatus 20 cannot be performed. 40 (steps S35 and S36).
The control unit 401 (message acquisition unit 4001) acquires the message transmitted in steps S35 and S36. When the control unit 401 (message transmission unit 4002) acquires a message notifying that communication cannot be performed from a predetermined number or more of the attached devices 10, the control unit 401 (message transmission unit 4002) transmits a message instructing the shift to the disaster mode (step S37, S38). When the control unit 101 (selection unit 1007) of the attached devices 10A and 10B receives the message for instructing the shift to the disaster mode, the control unit 101 (the selection unit 1007) shifts to the disaster mode (steps S39 and S40). The control unit 101 that has shifted to the disaster mode controls the display unit 103 so that a message notifying that the mode is the disaster mode is displayed. Moreover, the control part 101 which transfered to disaster mode sets the period which transmits an apparatus identifier and position information to the vehicle management apparatus 20 to the 2nd period longer than a 1st period.

  When the attached devices 10A and 10B are in the disaster mode, for example, a specific user who is informed of the disaster passcode, such as a public employee or a fire department staff, can use a rental bicycle. The specific user goes to the bicycle parking lot where the rental bicycle is located and operates the attached device 10A or the attached device 10B. Specifically, the user first presses a start button. For example, the control unit 101 of the attached device 10A controls the display unit 103 so that when a start button is pressed, a message that prompts input of a passcode is displayed. Next, when the user inputs the disaster passcode using the numeric keypad of the operation unit 104, the control unit 101 (passcode receiving unit 1003) receives the input passcode (step S41). When the disaster mode is selected and the received passcode matches the stored disaster passcode, the control unit 101 (lock control unit 1002) unlocks the electronic lock 3 (step S42). As a result, the specific user can use the rental bicycle.

  When returning the rental bicycle, the specific user returns the rental bicycle to the bicycle parking lot where the transmitter 40 is located. The short-range communication unit 108 of the attached device 10A receives the device identifier transmitted by the transmitter 40 in the bicycle parking lot when entering the range in which the radio wave output from the transmitter 40 can be received (step S43). The control unit 101 acquires the bicycle parking lot identifier received by the short-range communication unit 108. The control unit 101 determines whether the received bicycle parking lot identifier is stored in the storage unit 102 (step S44). As described above, in this operation example, the bicycle parking lot identifier transmitted by the transmitter 40 is stored in the storage unit 102. When the received bicycle parking identifier is stored in the storage unit 102, the control unit 101 determines that the rental bicycle can be returned, and controls the display unit 103 so that a message prompting locking is displayed. The specific user who sees this message locks the electronic lock 3 (step S45). When the control unit 101 determines that the rental bicycle can be returned, the control unit 101 accepts pressing of an end button. When the user presses the end button (step S46), the control unit 101 enters a state of accepting a passcode.

  Thereafter, when the communication network 2 is restored, the history (location information history and operation history), the device identifier, and the location information from when the response message cannot be received from the vehicle management device 20 until the communication network 2 is restored. Are sent from the accessory devices 10A, 10B to the vehicle management device 20 (steps S47, S49). Upon receiving the device identifier and the position information, the control unit 201 transmits a response message notifying that the position information has been received to the attached devices 10A and 10B (steps S48 and S50). Upon receiving the response message, the control unit 101 (selection unit 1007) of the attached devices 10A and 10B cancels the disaster mode, selects the normal mode (steps S51 and S52), and sets a cycle for transmitting the device identifier and position information. Return from the second period to the first period. When the disaster mode is canceled and the normal mode is selected, the control unit 101 does not unlock the electronic lock 3 even if the input passcode matches the stored disaster passcode.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, when it is determined that a disaster has occurred, a specific user can use a rental bicycle. In this embodiment, even if the facility that transmits disaster information cannot transmit information due to a disaster, the occurrence of a disaster is determined by the accessory device 10 and the transmitter 40, and the accessory device 10 shifts to the disaster mode and is identified. Rental bicycles can be rented to users.

[Modification]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, It can implement with another various form. For example, the present invention may be implemented by modifying the above-described embodiment as follows. In addition, you may combine each of embodiment mentioned above and the following modifications.
