Description

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal that wirelessly communicates with an automobile, an automobile that wirelessly communicates with the mobile terminal, and a communication system that includes the mobile terminal and the automobile, and particularly relates to a communication system that contributes to traffic safety of a person carrying the mobile terminal.

In recent years, automobiles having an automatic driving mode capable of autonomous driving without a driving operation by a driver have appeared (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-48563)). As this type of vehicle, in addition to those that can switch between manual driving mode and automatic driving mode, automatic driving vehicles that have only automatic driving mode and automatic driving vehicles that can autonomously drive unmanned will also appear. Conceivable.

Currently, autonomous driving in the automatic driving mode of this type of vehicle is often restricted, such as being permitted only in places and environments where safety can be easily ensured, but in the near future, public roads will be free. It is presumed that it will be possible to drive.

When a car equipped with an automatic driving mode can freely drive on public roads, a car that can only be driven manually (manual specification car) and a car equipped with an automatic driving mode (for convenience, the following explanation includes an automatic driving mode). Cars will be called self-driving cars) and will run on the same road at the same time.

In the case of a manual specification vehicle, it is unavoidable that some drivers do not strictly comply with traffic regulations or behave unpredictably, but in the automatic driving mode by an autonomous driving vehicle, it is unavoidable. It is predicted that traffic regulations will be strictly observed and that obstacles will always be avoided when driving. That is, it is expected that the manual specification vehicle and the autonomous driving vehicle will take different driving modes.

Therefore, if it is possible to know whether a vehicle traveling in the vicinity is a manual specification vehicle or an autonomous driving vehicle, pedestrians, drivers, and the vehicle (autonomous driving vehicle) itself can move and behave. It is expected that it will be useful for traffic safety, such as preventing the occurrence of accidents by increasing the possibility of being able to secure safety and pay attention to one's behavior and driving by predicting. .. In other words, if you know whether the vehicle you are driving is a manual specification vehicle or an autonomous driving vehicle, you can refer to it for determining your own behavior and behavior, which is preferable in terms of traffic safety.

Therefore, for example, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-228152), whether the operating mode of the own vehicle is the automatic driving mode or the manual driving mode is transmitted to and received from each other by vehicle-to-vehicle communication between the vehicles. It has been proposed that the operation mode of other vehicles around the own vehicle can be grasped. According to the technique of Patent Document 2, it is possible to make the attention paid to other vehicles around the own vehicle heavier or lighter according to the grasped operation mode, which is convenient.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-48563 JP-A-2015-228152

By the way, the technique of Patent Document 2 is to know each other's operation modes by communicating with each other while traveling, and to drive safely with reference to the known operation modes. No proposal has been made that can contribute to traffic safety by communicating between a person and a car.

For example, when a pedestrian tries to cross a pedestrian crossing, it is common to confirm that the car has stopped in front of the pedestrian crossing before performing the crosswalk. When there are pedestrians trying to cross the pedestrian crossing, it is obligatory under traffic law to stop the car in front of the pedestrian crossing, but in practice, the car that does not stop The current situation is that there are many. For this reason, it is often difficult to ensure traffic safety because some people try to cross hard without waiting for the car to stop.

If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic driving mode that enables autonomous driving without the driver's driving operation, as described above, the vehicle will drive on the road in compliance with traffic regulations, so in front of a pedestrian crossing. , If there are pedestrians, it can be expected to stop without fail. Therefore, if it is known which car is operating in the automatic driving mode, it is possible to cross with confidence by waiting for the car to stop in front of the pedestrian crossing.

However, pedestrians cannot visually identify which vehicle is operating in autonomous driving mode. As a result, pedestrians can become frustrated and make dangerous crossings.

Further, in a place where there is no pedestrian crossing, even a car operating in the automatic driving mode does not always stop in order to give priority to the crossing of a pedestrian who is trying to cross. This is because it cannot be determined from the automobile side whether the pedestrian is trying to cross or simply standing there.

The same can be said for pedestrians as well as those who try to pass by wheelchairs or bicycles.

In view of the above points, it is an object of the present invention to ensure that pedestrians, wheelchair users, cyclists, and the like can safely perform behaviors such as crossing.

If it is possible to identify the source, the level, etc., such as the developer and version of AI (Artificial Intelligence) installed and used in autonomous vehicles, that information. May be included as own vehicle information. In addition, in the case of AI, it generally evolves through learning to improve safety and driving performance, so there is a high correlation between driving time and mileage and safety and driving performance that depend on AI. Therefore, the traveling time and the traveling distance may be included as the own vehicle information. AI may be installed in hardware such as LSI or in software. Further, information on the manufacturer and performance of the radar, the camera, and the sensor used in the radar group 206, the camera group 207, and the sensor group 208 may be included as the own vehicle information.

Further, when it is determined in step S103 that the input operation of the vehicle communication request has been performed, the control unit 101 executes the vehicle communication process showing the flow of the processing example in FIGS. 7 and 8 described later (step S108). After confirming the end (step S109), the process is returned to step S101, and the processes after this step S101 are repeated.

Next, the flow of the processing example of the communication processing with the vehicle in step S108 of FIG. 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

The control unit 101 sends a vehicle communication request through the vehicle wireless communication unit 108 (step S111), and determines whether or not the response information from the vehicle to the vehicle communication request has been received (step S112). When it is determined in step S112 that the response information from the vehicle has not been received, the control unit 101 does not generate a wireless communication path and displays through the display screen of the display unit 123 that there is no vehicle capable of communicating. At the same time, it is notified by voice through the speaker 122 (step S113). Of course, by not displaying on the display screen of the display unit 123, it may be notified that there is no vehicle capable of communicating. Then, the control unit 101 ends this processing routine.

Further, when it is determined in step S112 that the response information from the automobile has been received, the control unit 101 generates a wireless communication path with the responding automobile (hereinafter referred to as a responding automobile) (step S114). .. Then, the control unit 101 generates transmission information including the position information of the current location of the mobile terminal 1, the information on whether the mobile terminal 1 is walking or the bicycle is running, and the information on the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3. It is transmitted to the responding vehicle through the wireless communication path (step S115). At this time, as described above, the transmission information generated in step S115 also includes information on the walking speed of the carrier 3, information on the wheelchair moving speed, or information on the bicycle running speed, and information on the moving direction. It may be included in the transmission information.

Next, the control unit 101 receives the reply information from the response vehicle and analyzes the content of the reply information (step S116). Then, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the responding vehicle is involved in the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 (step S117), and when it is determined that the response vehicle is not involved, disconnects the wireless communication path generated in step S114 (step S117). Step S121 in FIG. 8). Then, the control unit 101 retransmits the communication request to the automobile (step S122), determines whether or not the response information from the automobile has been received (step S123), and when it is determined that the response information has been received, the process is shown. The process returns to step S114 of 7, and the processing after this step S114 is repeated.

Further, when it is determined in step S123 that the response information from the automobile is not received, it is displayed through the display screen of the display unit 123 that the automobile 2 corresponding to the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 does not exist, and the voice is transmitted through the speaker 122. (Step S124). Of course, by not displaying on the display screen of the display unit 123, it may be notified that there is no vehicle capable of communicating. Then, the control unit 101 ends this processing routine.

Further, when it is determined in step S117 that the response vehicle is involved in the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the response vehicle behaves according to the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3. (Step S118).

Then, in step S118, when it is determined that the response vehicle does not behave according to the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3, the control unit 101 determines that the response vehicle does not behave according to the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3. In addition to displaying the fact that the mobile phone is not to be used through the display screen of the display unit 123, the mobile phone 3 is notified by voice through the speaker 122 (step S119). That is, in step S119, even if the response vehicle does not behave according to the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3, the reply information of the response vehicle includes the current position information of the response vehicle and the identification of the response vehicle. Since the information, the attribute information of the driver, and the information on the traveling speed and the traveling direction are sent, the control unit 101 sets the information on the map displaying its own position based on the information. The position and movement of the response vehicle are displayed, and the identification information is notified to the mobile phone 3 on the display screen and / or through the speaker 122.

As a result, the carrier 3 knows that there is a car that is involved in his / her behavior schedule, although it is a car that does not give priority to the behavior schedule that he / she is trying to execute. Since you can know where you are, what kind of car you are driving, and what kind of attribute the driver is driving, you can carry out your behavior schedule while paying attention to the car. become able to.

Of course, the reply information of the response vehicle can also include information on whether the response vehicle is an emergency vehicle (ambulance, fire engine, police car, etc.). When the response vehicle is an emergency vehicle, the mobile phone 3 does not prioritize the behavior schedule that he / she is trying to execute by notifying the mobile phone 3 on the display screen and / or through the speaker 122. , The movement of the emergency vehicle can be prioritized, and after the emergency vehicle has passed, one's own behavior schedule can be executed.

Following step S119, the control unit 101 proceeds to step S121 of FIG. 8, disconnects the wireless communication path, and then retransmits the vehicle communication request in step S122 to schedule the behavior of the mobile phone 3. The process for enabling the response of the automobile that behaves in response to the above (processes after step S122) is repeated. In addition, since the current position of the responding vehicle is not sent due to the disconnection of the wireless communication path, the traveling speed and the traveling direction are transmitted, so from the last current position, depending on the traveling speed and the traveling direction. The moving position can be calculated and the display of the car can be continued on the map.

Further, when it is determined in step S118 that the response vehicle will behave according to the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3, the control unit 101 plans to execute the response vehicle in response to the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3. The behavior of the vehicle is displayed through the display screen of the display unit 123, the mobile phone 3 is notified by voice through the speaker 122, the information of the responding vehicle is displayed through the display screen, and the behavior is notified by voice through the speaker 122 (step). S120). Since the current position information of the response vehicle, the identification information of the response vehicle, the attribute information of the driver, and the information of the traveling speed and the traveling direction are sent to the reply information of the response vehicle, this step. Also in S120, the control unit 101 displays the position and movement of the response vehicle on the map displaying its own position based on the information, and also displays the identification information on the display screen. / Or notify the mobile phone 3 through the speaker 122.

As a result, the mobile phone 3 knows that there is a car that gives priority to the behavior schedule that he / she is trying to execute, and at the same time, where the car is currently and what kind of car it is. Since you can know what kind of behavior you will behave, you will be able to safely execute your own behavior schedule while paying attention to the car.

After the notification to the mobile phone 3 is completed in step S120, the control unit 101 transmits a confirmation notification to the responding vehicle (step S131 in FIG. 9). As described above, of course, this confirmation notification may be performed after waiting for the confirmation operation from the mobile phone 3 for the notification to the mobile phone 3.

Next, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the execution of the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 is completed (step S132). The end of the execution of the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 is determined by whether or not the mobile phone 3 has passed the position where the behavior schedule is performed or a predetermined area. When it is determined in step S132 that the execution of the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 has not been completed, the control unit 101 uses the information on the current position of the mobile terminal 1 detected by the current position detection unit 106 and the information on the current position of the mobile terminal 1 and the vehicle. From the information on the current position of the response vehicle 2 received through the wireless communication unit 108, the position of the own terminal displayed on the display screen of the display unit 123 and the position of the response vehicle 2 are updated (step S133). Then, the control unit 101 returns the process to step S132, and repeats the processes after this step S132.

When it is determined in step S132 that the execution of the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 is completed, the control unit 101 transmits a notification of the end of the behavior of the mobile phone to the responding vehicle through the wireless communication path (step S134). Then, the control unit 101 disconnects the wireless communication path from the response vehicle (step S135), and ends this processing routine.

Following step S203, the control unit 201 receives and analyzes the behavior schedule information of the mobile phone 3 from the mobile terminal 1 (step S204). Then, the control unit 201 determines from the analysis result whether or not the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 indicated by the behavior schedule information from the mobile terminal 1 is involved in (affects) the behavior of the own vehicle (step S205). ).

When it is determined in step S205 that the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 indicated by the behavior schedule information does not affect the behavior of the own vehicle (has no influence), the control unit 201 does not participate in the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3. Is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1 (step S206), then the wireless communication path is disconnected (step S207), and this processing routine is terminated.

When it is determined in step S205 that the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 indicated by the behavior schedule information is related to (affects) the behavior of the own vehicle, the control unit 201 determines that the own vehicle has only the automatic driving mode. It is determined whether or not it is a car (step S211 in FIG. 11).

When it is determined in step S211 that the own vehicle is not an autonomous driving vehicle having only an automatic driving mode, the control unit 201 determines whether or not the vehicle is in the automatic driving mode (step S212). When it is determined in step S212 that the vehicle is not in the automatic operation mode, the control unit 201 determines whether or not switching to the automatic operation mode is permitted (step S213). In step S213, for example, the driver is inquired "Is it okay to switch to the automatic operation mode because there is a communication request from the mobile terminal 1?", And in response to the inquiry, permission to switch to the automatic operation mode is operated. Determine if the person has answered. If the driver has previously input to the automobile 2 whether or not to allow switching to the automatic driving mode, the setting input is referred to and the automatic driving mode is entered. Determine if switching is allowed.

Further, when it is determined in step S213 that the switching to the automatic operation mode is not permitted (the driver refuses to switch), the control unit 201 cannot behave in response to the behavior schedule of the carrier 3. Determined (step S214), information to that effect, information on the current position of the own vehicle, information on the traveling speed and the traveling direction, specific information for making the own vehicle visible, and the attributes of the driver. The reply information including the information is generated and transmitted to the mobile terminal 1 through the wireless communication path (step S215). Next, the control unit 201 disconnects the wireless communication path (step S216) and ends this processing routine.

Then, when it is determined in step S211 that the own vehicle is an autonomous driving vehicle having only an automatic driving mode, and when it is determined in step S212 that the vehicle is in the automatic driving mode, further, in step S213, automatic driving is performed. When it is determined that the switching to the driving mode is permitted, the control unit 201 switches the own vehicle to the forced automatic driving mode and notifies the driver to that effect through the speaker 226 (step S221 in FIG. 12).

Then, the control unit 201 determines the behavior of the own vehicle corresponding to the behavior schedule of the portable person (step S222), and includes information on the determined behavior of the own vehicle (including executing the behavior in the forced automatic driving mode). ), Reply information including information on the current position of the own vehicle, information on the traveling speed and the traveling direction, and specific information for making the own vehicle visible, and transmitting a request for communication with the vehicle.

(Step S227). Then, the control unit 201 releases the prohibition of switching to the manual operation mode (step S228), and the driver finishes the behavior processing by the terminal communication through the display screen of the display unit 211 and by the sound emitted by the speaker 226. (Step S229). Then, the control unit 201 ends this processing routine.

[Other examples of communication control]
In the above-described embodiment, the mobile terminal 1 and the automobile 2 communicate with each other on a one-to-one basis. It is also possible to enable the mobile terminal 1 to acquire the reply information from the automobile 2.

That is, in this example, the mobile terminal 1 transmits a communication request to the vehicle by broadcast or multicast, and when the transmission is completed, the mobile terminal 1 waits for the access of the reply information from the vehicle 2. In this case, the vehicle communication request includes the current position information of the mobile terminal 1 and the information on the behavior schedule of the mobile phone. The vehicle 2 that has received the vehicle communication request determines whether or not the vehicle is involved in the behavior schedule of the mobile phone, and when it is determined that the vehicle is involved, generates reply information and uses the reply information as the mobile terminal. The call is made to the mobile terminal 1 until 1 is acquired.

The mobile terminal 1 notifies the mobile phone 3 of each of the reply information from the vehicle sent in response to the communication request to the vehicle. In this case, on the map displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal 1, each position of the automobile to which the reply information has been sent is displayed together with the display of the specific information.

In this way, the mobile terminal 1 receives the reply information from all the vehicles involved in the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 included in the communication request with the vehicle, and transmits the behavior of each vehicle to the mobile phone 3. It will be possible to notify.

Further, in the case of the above-described embodiment, only the position of the vehicle capable of wireless communication with the mobile terminal 1 is displayed on the map, but by doing the following, wireless communication with the mobile terminal 1 is performed. The position of a vehicle having no function can also be notified to the mobile phone 3 including its characteristics (attributes).

That is, the reply information from the automobile to the request for communication with the automobile from the mobile terminal 1 includes the captured images of the front, rear, left and right sides of the own vehicle taken by the camera group of the own vehicle, and is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1. The mobile terminal 1 analyzes the received captured image, recognizes the automobile included in the captured image, and estimates the position of the recognized automobile from the current position and traveling direction of the automobile that sent the captured image. In this case, if there are a plurality of vehicles capable of wireless communication, the mobile terminal 1 presents the recognition results of the captured images from the plurality of vehicles and the current position of the vehicle that has sent the captured images. By using and the traveling direction, it is possible to detect the position of a vehicle that does not have a wireless communication function with higher accuracy.

In the mobile terminal 1, the detected position of the car that does not have the wireless communication function is also displayed on the map in addition to the car 2, so that the mobile phone 3 can grasp the traffic situation around him / herself. You will be able to execute the behavior schedule of.

[Example of vehicle behavior based on vehicle communication requirements for mobile phone behavior schedule]
In the following description, for convenience, all automobiles will be described as having the terminal communication control processing unit 217 of the embodiment. Since the mobile terminal 1 of the embodiment cannot communicate with the vehicle not equipped with the terminal communication control processing unit 217, the vehicle determines the behavior according to the behavior schedule of the mobile phone. Try to exclude it from the target vehicles that will give you.

In the example of FIG. 13, when the mobile phone user 3 possessing the mobile terminal 1 is walking along the right side of the road 7, he / she behaves as if he / she goes straight on the side road 6 in front of the traveling direction and crosses the road. If you plan to do so. In the example of FIG. 13, three automobiles 2A, 2B, and 2C traveling in the same direction as the traveling direction of the mobile phone 3 exist on the road 7.

In this case, when the mobile terminal 1 held by the mobile phone 3 sends a communication request for automobiles at a predetermined position in front of the side road 6, the communication request for automobiles is sent to the three automobiles 2A. , 2B, and 2C are all receivable, and each responds to generate a wireless communication path. However, since the automobile 2A is already traveling at the position where it has passed the side road 6, it is not involved in the behavior schedule of crossing the side road 6 of the mobile phone 3, so the mobile terminal 1 is notified to that effect. Reply to to disconnect the wireless communication path. Further, since the automobile 2C traveling on the overtaking lane side of the two-lane road 7 is scheduled to pass the position of the side road 6 and go straight, similarly, the side road 6 of the carrier 3 It does not participate in the behavioral schedule of crossing. Therefore, the automobile 2C also sends a notification to the mobile terminal 1 that it is not involved in the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 and disconnects the wireless communication path.

In this example, car 2B is going to turn left so as to enter side road 6 from road 7. Therefore, it is determined that the automobile 2B is involved in the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3, and in this example, in the forced automatic driving mode, the crossing of the side road 6 of the mobile phone 3 is prioritized, for example, a left turn to the side road 6 side. It is determined to stop at the point before the operation and wait until the crossing of the mobile phone 3 is completed, and a message to that effect, the position of the own vehicle, and the identification information of the own vehicle are returned to the mobile terminal 1.

Then, the mobile terminal 1 notifies the mobile phone 3 that the vehicle 2B will give priority to the behavior schedule of the vehicle 3 through the display screen and the speaker, and where the vehicle 2B is currently traveling. Therefore, it notifies what kind of characteristics the automobile has in terms of visual recognition. Therefore, the mobile phone 3 possessing the mobile terminal 1 can safely cross the side road 6 while visually recognizing the automobile 2B and confirming its movement behavior.

In the example of FIG. 14, the mobile phone 3 possessing the mobile terminal 1 exits between the building BL1 and the building BL2 on the side of the road 8 having one lane on each side, and crosses the pedestrian crossing from the left side to the right side in FIG. This is an example of the case where you are planning to behave like this. In this example, road 8 has a pedestrian crossing road sign but no traffic light. Three vehicles 2D, 2E, and 2F are traveling in the right lane 8R of the road 8, and two vehicles 2G and 2H are traveling in the left lane 8L.

Then, in the example of FIG. 14, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 1 can send a communication request to a vehicle by, for example, a broadcast, and can sequentially acquire all the replies from the plurality of vehicles 2.

In this case, when a vehicle communication request is sent from the mobile terminal 1 held by the mobile phone 3 between the building BL1 and the building BL2, the vehicle communication request is made by five automobiles 2D, All of 2E, 2F, 2G, and 2H can be received, and each responds to generate a wireless communication path. However, since the car 2F is already traveling at the position where it has passed the pedestrian crossing, it does not participate in the behavior schedule of crossing the pedestrian crossing of the mobile phone 3, so the reply information including that fact is sent to the mobile terminal 1. Reply to to disconnect the wireless communication path.

In addition, the vehicle 2E traveling in the right lane 8R of the road 8 and the vehicle 2G traveling in the left lane 8L are involved in the behavior schedule of crossing the mobile phone 3, but they are too close to the pedestrian crossing. Therefore, it is judged that the vehicle cannot be stopped in front of the pedestrian crossing unless the brake is suddenly applied, and the mobile terminal 1 provides reply information including the fact that it is not possible to perform the corresponding behavior so as to give priority to the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3. Reply to, and then disconnect the wireless communication path.

The vehicle 2E traveling in the right lane 8R of the road 8 and the vehicle 2G traveling in the left lane 8L are involved in the behavior schedule of crossing the mobile phone 3, and the behavior schedule of the mobile phone 3 is set. It is determined that the corresponding behavior can be given priority, and the reply information including that fact is returned to the mobile terminal 1, and then the wireless communication path is disconnected.

The mobile terminal 1 of this example acquires reply information from all of the five automobiles 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, and 2H. The received reply information includes the current positions of the respective automobiles 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, and 2H, specific information, and information on the traveling speed and the traveling direction. 1 uses them to display each of the automobiles 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, and 2H on the map of the display screen. Further, the mobile terminal 1 also notifies the mobile phone 3 of the behavior of each automobile with respect to the crossing of the mobile phone 3 through the display screen and / or the speaker 122.

Therefore, the mobile phone 3 can safely execute the behavioral schedule of crossing the pedestrian crossing that he / she is trying to perform while referring to the notification by the sound emitted from the display screen of the mobile terminal 1 and the speaker 122. .. Of course, it is not limited to the behavior schedule of crossing a pedestrian crossing, but also the behavior schedule of crossing a road without a pedestrian crossing, and the behavior schedule of passing in places where it is difficult to predict the movement of cars such as parking lot entrances and exits and station rotary. You can apply and safely carry out these behavioral appointments you are trying to make.
