For example, it is determined whether the wheelchair is fixed at a normal position based on the information on the state of wheelchair fixation, and it is determined whether the user and the wheelchair are fastened with a seat belt using the information on the state of restraint of the wheelchair. The analyzed wheelchair fixation status information and / or wheelchair restraint status information is transmitted to the status display control unit 43. Here, when the wheelchair 2 is boarded at a predetermined position, the wheelchair fixed state monitoring unit 20 and the wheelchair restraint state monitoring unit 30 are fixed in real time until the wheelchair is disembarked from the transportation means 1 And wheelchair restraint status information is transmitted to the user notification means 40. Wheelchair fixation status monitoring information and wheelchair restraint status information may be generated by an interrupt method. For example, a signal of "1" when a wheelchair is detected is fixed, a signal of "0" when a wheelchair is not fixed, a signal of "1" when a wheelchair is being restrained, and a signal of a wheelchair is not detected. " The signal "0" can be generated as an interrupt.

The status display control unit 43 controls display and transmission of the status information of the wheelchair based on the status information analyzed by the status information analysis unit 42.

Here, the status display control unit 43 controls the status display unit 44 to display the wheelchair status, but controls the display and transmission operation by classifying the control operations according to wheelchair riding, transportation, and wheelchair disembarking. .

In response to such control, the status display unit 44 displays the state of the wheelchair 2 (wheelchair detection state, fixed state, fastening state, etc.) as a figure (pictogram) so that the user can easily recognize the state of the wheelchair Do it.

For example, in the initial state of boarding the wheelchair, as shown in FIG. 4, the status display unit 44 does not display all icons. At this time, the presence or absence of a wheelchair is performed. The presence or absence of a wheelchair is recognized through the time measurement from the wheelchair to the wheelchair fixation.

Next, as a result of confirming whether or not to ride the wheelchair as described above, if it is determined to ride the wheelchair, the wheelchair boarding icon 44b is displayed. At this time, the wheelchair boarding icon 44b lights up in orange, and an alarm sound is generated (every 3 seconds) through the alarm sound generating unit 48 to inform the user of the wheelchair boarding status.

Subsequently, after displaying the state in which the wheelchair has normally boarded at a predetermined position, the corresponding icon is displayed and flashed based on the wheelchair state information and the restraint state information of the state display controller 43 to allow the user to manipulate the state. do. That is, when the wheelchair is completed, the lock icon 44a to implement the fixing device and the seat belt icon 44c to fasten the seat belt are displayed and flashed, and an alarm sound is generated through the alarm sound generating unit 48 (3 seconds).
