[motion]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
(Step S11: Area specifying process)
First, the area specifying unit 101 of the management device 100 specifies a supply promotion target area for promoting the supply of vehicles to be rented. Specifically, the area identifying unit 101 refers to the management table, the area where the vehicle demand is equal to or more than a threshold, the area where the vehicle supply is equal to or less than the threshold, the area where the difference between the vehicle demand and the supply is equal to or more than the threshold, or An area in which the profit from which the vehicle supplier can obtain is equal to or higher than a threshold value is specified as a supply promotion target area. Each threshold used here is a value optimized for each purpose. At this time, the area specifying unit 101 specifies the supply promotion target area for each vehicle attribute.

(Step S12: Supplier Candidate Identification Process)
Next, the supply source candidate specifying unit 102 specifies a supply source candidate that can supply the vehicle in the supply promotion area specified by the area specifying unit 101. Specifically, the supplier candidate identification unit 102 refers to the vehicle table and identifies the vehicle ID of the vehicle whose storage area is included in the supply promotion target area from the vehicle ID group that is not supplied. Further, the owned vehicle of the contact corresponding to the vehicle ID is specified as the supplier candidate. Further, the supplier candidate identification unit 102 refers to the vehicle table to identify the vehicle ID of the vehicle in which the supply promotion target area and the travel route at least partially overlap, and further identifies the contact information corresponding to the vehicle ID. identifies the owner as a supply source candidate.

(Step S13: promotion process)
Next, the processing unit 103 performs processing for urging the supply source candidates specified by the supply source candidate specifying unit 102 to supply the vehicle. Specifically, the processing unit 103 sends a message giving the privilege that the supply source candidate is more valuable as the demand of the vehicle is larger, on condition that the vehicle can be supplied. It is transmitted to the owner terminal 200) of the owner. In addition, the processing unit 103 transmits a message to the contact, which gives a condition that the vehicle can be supplied with a privilege in which the supply source candidate is more valuable as the vehicle supply is smaller. In addition, the processing unit 103 sends a message to the contact, which gives a condition that the vehicle can be supplied with a privilege in which the larger the profit obtained by renting the vehicle is, the more the value of the supply source candidate is obtained. The privilege here is, for example, value information that can be applied to the communication charge of the owner terminal, or value information that can be used in a commercial store instead of money.

(Step S14: registration process)
Upon receiving a notification from the owner terminal 200 that the vehicle can be supplied in response to the above process, the registration unit 104 causes the registration unit 104 to perform a registration process required for the vehicle sharing service, specifically, a vehicle table. Perform processing to change "non-supply" to "supply possible". As a result, the vehicle can be supplied.

According to the embodiment described above, in a service in which the owner of a vehicle lends the vehicle to the user, it is possible to promote the supply of the vehicle to be rented.

[Modification]
The above-described embodiment can be modified as follows. In addition, the following modified examples may be implemented in combination with each other.
[Modification 1]
The supply level specific method, the demand level specific method, and the profit level specific method are not limited to the embodiments, and any method can be used.

[Modification 2]
Although the movement range of the vehicle (vehicle-mounted terminal 400) is used as the movement range of the supply source candidate in the embodiment, the movement range of the owner terminal 200 used by the supply source candidate may be used. In this case, the management device 100 obtains the moving speed in the range where the owner terminal 200 has moved from the moving time and the moving distance, and based on the obtained moving speed, the owner's moving means (for example, walking, bicycle, vehicle or rail transportation). (Institution) is specified, and the movement range moved by the vehicle is set as the movement range of the supply source candidate.
Further, when the owner terminal 200 and the in-vehicle device 400 respectively notify the management device 100 of the position, the management device 100 determines that the owner terminal 200 and the in-vehicle device 400 notify the position. When they match, the position may be set as the movement range of the owner.

[Modification 3]
The vehicle is not limited to an automobile and may be a two-wheeled vehicle or the like.

[Modification 4]
For example, it is assumed that one supplier candidate (one household) owns a plurality of vehicles, with the supplier candidate as a household unit. The attribute of the vehicle of attribute 1 is attribute 1 and the attribute of the vehicle of other attribute is attribute 2. The movement range of the vehicle of attribute 1 and the movement range of the vehicle of attribute 2 are different, but the movement range of the vehicle of attribute 2 is the vehicle of attribute 1 If there is a demand for, the management device 100 identifies the movement range of the vehicle having the attribute 2 as the supply promotion target area for the vehicle having the attribute 1. In this case, the management device 100 may determine that one supplier candidate owns a plurality of vehicles by whether or not the vehicles are parked at the same place every night for a certain period of time. Further, in this case, the management device 100 may perform a process of urging the owner of one of the vehicles (for example, the vehicle having the attribute 1) to supply the vehicle.

[Modification 5]
The supply promotion target area may be changed depending on the temporal conditions such as the period and the season. For example, the management device 100 may determine a demand period such as a period when a bus leaves on a temporary flight. Further, in Modifications 7 to 10, the supply promotion target area may be specified for each period.

[Modification 6]
The presence or absence of a car navigation device, a child seat, a carrier, or the like, which is an optional equipment attached to the vehicle, may be included in the attributes of the vehicle.

[Modification 7]
The management device 100 may specify the supply promotion target area based on, for example, a word (for example, “Tokyo Car Share” or the like) included in a search log in various search sites of SNS (Social Networking Service).

[Modification 8]
The management device 100 may specify the supply promotion target area based on the number of spheres of the user terminal 300 in the wireless cell of each base station. For example, the management device 100 specifies an area in which the number of users of the user terminal 300 in the wireless cell of each base station is equal to or greater than a threshold value as a supply promotion target area.

[Modification 9]
The management device 100 may specify the supply promotion target area based on the usage status of the transportation facility (for example, the purchase history of the commuter pass or the usage frequency of the taxi). For example, the management device 100 identifies an area in which the number of commuter tickets purchased or the frequency of taxi usage is equal to or greater than a threshold value as a supply promotion target area.

[Modification 10]
The management device 100 may specify the supply promotion target area based on the number of handovers of the user terminal 300 per unit time. For example, if it is assumed that there are many people who want to move in an area with a large number of handovers and that there is a large demand for using a vehicle as a means of transportation, for example, the management device 100 is an area in which the number of handovers of the user terminal 300 is equal to or greater than a threshold value. Is specified as a supply promotion target area.
Moreover, the management apparatus 100 may specify the supply promotion target area based on the time interval of the handover of the user terminal 300. For example, if it is assumed that there are many people who want to move in an area where the handover time interval is short and there is a large demand for using a vehicle as a transportation means, for example, the management device 100 determines that the handover time interval of the user terminal 300 is The area below the threshold value is specified as the supply promotion target area.

[Modification 11]
In the supply source candidate specifying process, the supply source candidate specifying unit 102 may specify the vehicle supply source candidate based on information other than the vehicle table stored in the storage unit 13. Specifically, the supplier candidate specifying unit 102 is a vehicle stored in a computer other than the management device 100 (for example, a server device or a database system provided for providing a service different from the service provided by the management device 100). Specify the candidate supplier by referring to the storage location, the moving route of the vehicle, the contact information for the owner of the vehicle, and the like. Then, the registration unit 104 receives the notification that the vehicle can be supplied from the supply source candidate identified based on the information other than the vehicle table stored in the storage unit 13 as described above, and the registration unit 104 displays the vehicle table. When the registration is performed, the supplier of the vehicle may be provided with a privilege of greater value than in the case of the registration based on the vehicle table stored in the storage unit 13.
In addition, the method of contacting the owner of the vehicle is not limited to e-mail or the like, and may be a method of contacting by telephone, SNS (Social Networking Service), website, or the like.
