[motion]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
(Step S11: Living area specifying process)
The management device 100 identifies the living area of the vehicle owner based on the daily travel route and the staying time of the vehicle owner. The position of the owner terminal 200, which is regularly positioned by the positioning unit, is stored in the storage unit in association with the positioning time. The acquisition unit 101 of the management device 100 acquires the set of the position and the time from the owner terminal 200 as the moving route information regarding the route when the vehicle owner moves and the staying time on the route. Next, the lending area determination unit 1021 of the management device 100 compares the acquired movement route information with the map/traffic DB to indicate when and how the owner is moving from where to where. Generate means information. FIG. 6 is an example of the transportation information specified for the owner with the owner ID; U001. In this example, the owner departs from home (point S) on foot, goes to point P1, moves from there to point P2 by rail, then transfers to the bus at point P2 to point P3, and finally I arrived at my work place (point G) on foot. However, FIG. 6 is an example, and for example, the owner may use the vehicle as the transportation means in at least a part of the route. It should be noted that the technology related to such position tracking and living area identification is already known, and therefore the technology may be used in the present embodiment. Further, the travel route of the owner fluctuates depending on the day, but if the difference is within a threshold value, the management device 100 may average them to determine the travel route (living area). For example, weekday/holiday, day of the week For example, the travel route (living area) may be individually set according to the attribute of the day.

(Step S12: loanable area and timing determination process)
The lending area determination unit 1021 of the management device 100 refers to the map/traffic DB based on the travel route of the owner, and the vehicle owner can move from the start point to the vehicle by a means other than the vehicle. All rentable points are extracted, and the set of rentable points is determined as the rentable area. Here, it is premised that the owner moves from the starting point to the rentable point by vehicle and moves from the rentable point to the end point by means other than the vehicle. That is, the owner moves to the rentable point with the vehicle to be rented, and after renting the vehicle to the user at that point, the owner moves to his/her destination by, for example, a railroad or a bus.

Further, the lending time determination unit 1022 of the management device 100 refers to the map/traffic DB based on the travel route of the owner and determines the lending time when the vehicle can be rented at the lending possible point. At this time, the lending time determination unit 1022 calculates the time required by the vehicle from the starting point to each lending possible point, for example, by using an average of daily departure times as the starting time of the starting point. Further, the lending time determination unit 1022 calculates the time required by train, bus, or walking from each lending possible point to the end point by using, for example, an average of arrival times every day as the arrival time at the end point. Then, the lending time determination unit 1022 determines the lending possible time such that the arrival time at the end point falls within a predetermined delay period with respect to the daily arrival time. A method other than the above-mentioned calculation using the average may be arbitrarily used. For example, the lending time determination unit 1022 may perform calculation by excluding an abnormal value.

Here, FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a rentable period of a vehicle in the rentable area. In this figure, the lendable area BA is determined on the basis of the owner's movement route R, and the lendable time is also determined for the areas ba1 to ba5 in the lendable area. In the example of the figure, the lending possible time in the area ba1 is 07:00 to 07:10, the lending available time in the area ba2 is 07:10 to 07:20, and the lending available time in the area ba3 is 07:20 to. It is 07:30, the lending possible time in the area ba4 is 07:30 to 07:40, and the lending available time in the area ba5 is 07:40 to 07:50. For example, in the area ba3, the owner drives the vehicle from the starting point S, arrives at the rentable point at 07:20 to 07:30, passes the vehicle to the user at that point, and then arrives at the end point by a bus or the like. If it moves, it should arrive at its end within a predetermined delay from the usual arrival time.

(Step S13: Return area and return time determination process)
The return area determination unit 1024 of the management device 100 refers to the map/traffic DB based on the travel route of the owner, and the vehicle owner can move from the end point by means other than the vehicle and can move to the start point by the vehicle. All returnable points are extracted, and the set of returnable points is determined as the returnable area. Here, it is premised that the owner moves from the end point to the returnable point by means other than the vehicle and moves from the returnable point to the start point by the vehicle. That is, the owner moves to a returnable point by, for example, a railroad or a bus, and after the vehicle is returned from the user at that point, the owner moves to the destination by the vehicle.

Furthermore, the return time determination unit 1025 of the management device 100 refers to the map/traffic DB based on the travel route of the owner and determines the returnable time when the vehicle can be returned at the returnable point. At this time, the return time determination unit 1025 uses, for example, an average of the daily departure times as the departure time from the end point (work place) to the start point (home), for example, from the end point to each returnable point, Calculate time required by means other than vehicle. Further, the return time determination unit 1025 calculates the time required by the vehicle from each returnable point to the start point by using an average of daily arrival times as the start point arrival time. Then, the return time determination unit 1022 determines a returnable time such that the arrival time at the starting point falls within a predetermined delay period with respect to the daily arrival time. As a result, a set of returnable points and returnable times using the returnable time instead of the lendable time in FIG. 8 is generated. A method other than the above-mentioned calculation using the average may be arbitrarily used. For example, the return time determination unit 1025 may perform the calculation by excluding the abnormal value.

(Step S14: Rental fee determination process)
The lending fee determining unit 1023 of the management device 100 determines the lending fee based on the vehicle lending fee market price at each point in the lending available area and the cost the owner bears to rent the vehicle at each lending available area. To do. The cost incurred by the owner for renting a vehicle at each rentable point is, for example, the cost for the owner to move to the rentable point by vehicle and move from the rentable point to the destination by means other than the vehicle, Alternatively, it includes at least one of the cost for the owner to move to the returnable point by means other than the vehicle and to move from the returnable point to the destination by the vehicle. Further, the cost related to the movement at this time includes the cost for the owner to use the public transportation means at the time of movement (utilization fee of the public transportation means, etc.). Here, FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a market price of a vehicle renting fee, and FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a vehicle renting fee in a rentable area. Information regarding the market price of the rental fee of the vehicle is included in the map/traffic DB, and the rental fee determination unit 1023 refers to this and adds the above-mentioned costs, and the rentable point and the rental fee as shown in FIG. A set of (here, the fee per hour in the lending period) is calculated for each lendable point.

(Step S15: search/presentation process)
Using the user terminal 300, the user inputs a desired lending point, desired lending period, desired lending period, desired return point, desired return date, lending fee per unit time, lending conditions such as vehicle type, and instructs a search To do. The rental condition is notified to the management device 100, the search unit 103 searches for a vehicle that matches the rental condition, and the presentation unit 104 transmits and presents the rental condition regarding the vehicle to the user terminal 300. After that, the management device 100 performs processing relating to arrangement of the vehicle and settlement of the rental fee based on the vehicle specified by the user after viewing the search result and the rental condition.

According to the embodiment described above, it is possible to determine a vehicle that can be rented out at an arbitrary time designated by the user.
