Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

It should be understood, however, that the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and all of the technical ideas that fall within the scope of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.

1 is an overall configuration diagram of an online car rental and management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the online car rental and management system of the present invention includes a user terminal 100, a rental car management server 200, and a rental car maker terminal 300. As shown in FIG.

At this time, rental car information provided by the rental car management server is obtained through the user terminal and outputted to the screen.

In addition, the user terminal and the car rental company terminal may be general computer terminals, and may be a smart phone, a tablet PC, a notebook, and the like. In case of a portable smart phone or a tablet PC, It is advantageous that information can be easily provided while moving through the terminal.

That is, the rental car management server manages an application (application) for performing a reservation. When a user terminal or a car rental company terminal accesses and activates the corresponding application, the service described in the present invention can be used.

The reservation date and time information set by the user using the user terminal is transmitted to the rental car management server in real time through the network including the user identification information.

2 is a block diagram of a user terminal of an online car rental and management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the user terminal confirms or inputs information for reserving a rental car.

At this time, the user terminal 100 includes a reservation screen display unit 105, a condition search screen display unit 110, a location based vehicle information request unit 115, a vehicle list screen display unit 120, A vehicle maintenance status information display unit 135, a real-time reservation screen display unit 140, and a settlement screen display unit 145. The display unit 130 displays the vehicle maintenance status information,

The reservation screen display unit 105 outputs a membership registration page and a reservation date and time input window provided on the rental car management server on the screen.

As shown in Fig. 6, when a user terminal is connected to a web site or an app site managed by a car rental management server, a main screen is output, and a sidebar type menu is output as shown in Fig.

First of all, we will not provide any specific explanation for this because we will generally provide the member registration page.

At this time, if reservation is selected as shown in FIG. 8, the reservation date and time are provided on the screen, and the location-based vehicle can be searched.

On the other hand, an input field for inputting the vehicle type is provided by the user in advance, and a screen can be provided so that the vehicle type can be selected in advance and can be searched based on the position.

To this end, the condition search screen display unit 110 displays a selection window for location based reservation vehicle search, region search, and vehicle search on the screen.

In the case of the regional search and the search by vehicle, the general search method is not described in detail.

A feature of the present invention is a function of searching for a reserved vehicle according to a location basis.

Based vehicle information request unit 115 acquires location information of the current user in the case of the location based reservation vehicle search and requests the car rental management server for the location based reservation available vehicle information.

Thereafter, the rental car management server obtains, from the vehicle list screen display unit 120, any one of the preferred vehicle type list information, the general search vehicle list information, and the similar condition reservation reservation vehicle list information, and outputs the acquired information to the screen.

That is, as shown in FIG. 9, available vehicle list information is output to the surroundings.

If the vehicle does not exist, the re-input request screen display unit 125 outputs a re-input window for re-inputting the reservation date and time provided by the rental car management server.

 In the case of the present invention, companies providing rentalable vehicles distributed nationwide are provided by the rental car management server, thereby providing rental car information to the user terminal in real time.

Accordingly, the problem that the conventional service is limited is improved, so that the users can access the rental car anytime and anywhere, thereby providing the expandability.

In addition, small and mid-sized car rental companies that face regional limitations can offer their car rental business online or in the app environment, providing opportunities to provide services that are not competitive with large corporations.

On the other hand, the user selects a specific vehicle by viewing the vehicle list information. The vehicle detailed information screen display unit 130 requests the detailed information of the vehicle and the option information to the rental car management server and displays the detailed information of the vehicle and the option information On the screen.

In addition, the vehicle maintenance status information display unit 135 requests maintenance information on the selected vehicle to the rental car management server, and outputs the maintenance status information of the vehicle provided by the rental car management server to the screen.

In general, the rental car reservation service does not provide the vehicle maintenance status, so that the users often experience a failure of the vehicle when using the service. However, by providing the maintenance status information voluntarily by the rental car company as described above, It is possible to provide an effect that can be achieved.

In the conventional case, the rental car maker only informs the maintenance status orally, and the rental is proceeded without such a process.

Therefore, the user can not know the cause of the problem even when the vehicle has trouble at any time and place.

The real-time reservation screen display unit 140 provides a real-time reservation window to request a reservation to the rental car management server, and reservation will be performed using the unique information of the user.

Then, the settlement screen exposing unit 145 provides a real time settlement window, requests settlement to the rental car management server, and obtains the settlement completion notice information to display it on the screen.

The vehicle status information feedback processing unit may further include an input window for inputting vehicle status information not included in the vehicle maintenance status information to the user terminal so as to input information.

That is, when the vehicle maintenance status is inquired and the vehicle status information that has not yet been found is input to the input window, the information is fed back from the user to the rental car management server, and the rental status information is provided to the rental car business terminal, To be reflected in the maintenance of the vehicle.

This is to prevent anxiety about the state of maintenance of the vehicle after the rental in advance.

In addition, the user can additionally make a rental lease agreement with the rental car company online by using the user terminal, and in order to allow the user to inquire the contract content in real time through the user terminal during the contract period, the rental car management server The user provides the vehicle rental contract creation page information to the user terminal, and the user inputs the information into the input field of the corresponding creation page, acquires the final created information, and provides the information to the rental car company terminal to perform the contract.

Thereafter, the contract information is stored and managed by the rental car management server, and the user can access and confirm the information with the user terminal.

3 is a block diagram of a rental car management server of an online car rental and management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, the rental car management server 200 includes a member information acquisition unit 205, a member information database 210, a reservation information acquisition unit 215, a reservation information database 220, a rental car information acquisition unit The vehicle information DB 230, the preferred vehicle sorting provisioning unit 235, the general search vehicle information providing unit 240, the similar condition reservation offer information providing unit 245, the re-search request unit 250, The reservation vehicle image information requesting unit 275 and the reserved vehicle appearance image information database 280. The reservation information storage unit 250 stores the reservation information of the reservation vehicle image information, .

The member information obtaining unit 205 obtains member information provided from the user terminal by providing a member registration page to the user terminal, and stores member information for each member in the member information server 210.

The reservation information acquisition unit 215 provides a reservation date and time input window to the user terminal to acquire the reservation date and time information input by the user. The reservation information acquisition unit 215 acquires reservation date and time information for each member in the reservation information database 220 .

The rental car information obtaining unit 225 obtains the detailed information, option information, and maintenance information of the reserved vehicle provided from the rental car maker terminal by providing detailed information, option information, and maintenance information input page of the car, to the car rental company terminal.

To this end, the system of the present invention may be configured to manage the information provided through the app by providing rental car maker application for rental car company terminal and rental car reservation application which is operated by users' terminals.

The vehicle information divider 230 stores detailed information, option information, and maintenance information of the vehicles owned by the rental car companies.

In order to do this, unique information that can identify the rental car company is given, and the information of the rentalable vehicles is classified and stored.

The preferred car sorting unit 235 obtains the location-based reservation request vehicle information provided by the user terminal and sorts the preferred car model by analyzing the usage pattern of the user with reference to the car information database, Generates a vehicle list, and provides the vehicle list to the user terminal.

For example, when a user is located in Udong, Haeundae-gu, Busan, they will provide rental car information provided by car rental companies located within a radius of 10 km from the relevant area.

The radius range may be configured to be set by the user in advance, but the service radius may be designated by the service provider in advance.

For example, when the reservation date and time are set at 10:00 am on December 25, 2013, the preferred car sorting and providing section extracts and provides rentable vehicle list information within a radius of 10 km from Udon at that time.

At this time, preferably, the extracted vehicle is provided as a list of vehicles, such as an equus, a chairman, a Santa Fe, a Genesis, a Mercedes, etc. In general, a user who is generally constituted provides a setting window for selecting his or her preferred vehicle as Genesis You may.

In addition, based on the past reservation record booked by the users, the preferred vehicle type through analysis of the usage pattern of the user is sorted, and the vehicle list is ranked in the order of the preferred vehicle type, and the vehicle list is regenerated and provided.

In other words, if you used Genesis 5, Benz 4, Santa Fe, 3, and Chairman 2, you would sort by Genesis, Benz, Santa Fe, Chairman, and Equus to regenerate your vehicle list. So that it is possible to generate preferred vehicles.

The means of ranking the preferred vehicle to the higher level is to regenerate it in descending order based on the analysis result of the usage pattern of the user.

The above condition means a case where a location-based vehicle exists.

On the other hand, when the general search vehicle information providing unit 240 requests the user terminal to search by region or by vehicle rather than search by location based reservation vehicle, a vehicle list is generated by referring to the vehicle information database of the vehicle for each region or vehicle This is a structure for providing to a user terminal, which is for processing in use in a general search method.

On the other hand, if the location-based vehicle list information can not be obtained, if the user is informed that there is no vehicle search, the user can not use the location-based vehicle list because he or she can not provide the limitation of the service.

This is fatal for small and mid-sized car rental companies, which are not able to secure competitiveness.

Accordingly, the similar-condition reservation proposal information providing unit 245 re-extracts the vehicle information of the time zone where the reservation date of the area near the location, the vehicle list that can be rented at the time, or the reservation date of the location, Or a nearby time zone vehicle list to provide to the user terminal.

For example, referring to the reservation date and time set by the user, a list of vehicles that can be rented from the left side of the vicinity of Udon, Haeundae-gu, is extracted and provided.

Or a list of vehicles that can be borrowed at another time zone of the reservation date.

In other words, the search time can be drastically reduced because the vehicle in the nearby area is shown or the vehicle in another time zone in the area is automatically provided without any separate input process.

If the vehicle does not exist, the re-search request unit 250 may re-enter the reservation date and time again by the operation of the preferred car sorting service, general search vehicle information providing unit, And provides it to the user terminal.

Conventionally, when a vehicle does not exist on a reservation date and time zone desired by the user, the user may have to reload the reservation page to delay the reservation time. In the case of the present invention, however, A re-input window is generated and provided so that unnecessary loading time can be minimized.

The vehicle detailed information extracting unit 255 extracts detailed information and option information of the corresponding vehicle requested from the user terminal from the vehicle information database and provides it to the user terminal as shown in FIG.

The detailed information of the vehicle means the year, cc, auto / manual, color, etc. of the vehicle. Option information includes a rental period, insurance coverage, insurance company designation, article attendance, license type, payment method, And other detailed information.

In the conventional case, when the initial reservation is made, the vehicle detailed information and the vehicle maintenance status information are requested. If the vehicle does not exist, the loading process is re-loaded into the page to be re-entered, However, in the case of the present invention, since the detailed information is requested after the vehicle to be reserved is selected, it is not necessary to repeat the initial input process.

That is, it is intended to solve the problem of turning to the first inputting process because it is subjected to a sequential reservation process.

The vehicle maintenance information extracting unit 260 extracts the maintenance information of the corresponding vehicle requested by the user terminal from the vehicle information database and provides the maintenance information to the user terminal.

The vehicle maintenance information means, for example, mileage, air filter replacement date, engine oil replacement date, tire replacement date / condition, and the like.

The reservation processing unit 265 acquires the option information and the reservation request signal provided from the user terminal, reserves the corresponding vehicle, and stores the reservation information in the reservation information database.

On the other hand, the user can confirm the reservation details upon completion of the reservation as shown in Fig.

The settlement performing unit 270 acquires settlement request information provided by the user terminal, performs settlement, generates payment completion notice information and provides the settlement notice information to the user terminal, and provides the reservationer information and settlement history information to the rental car company terminal do.

The reason why the information is provided to the rental car maker terminal in addition to the user terminal is to allow the car maker to recognize the rental car in advance and to carry out maintenance and car washing of the rented car in advance and to consult with the users in advance .

In addition, the reserved vehicle appearance image request unit 275 requests the car rental company terminal for the reserved vehicle appearance image information.

In the case of the vehicle exterior image, it is one of the most sensitive parts to be checked by the users at the time of rental.

Therefore, it is intended to provide the user with the appearance image information in advance to confirm whether or not there is a problem before reserving.

This is to allow the user to confirm the appearance of the reserved vehicle so that the user can confirm whether or not the vehicle is scratched beforehand.

In the case of the vehicle exterior image, not only the entire appearance provided to users in advance for reserving, but also a possibility of notifying the users of the presence or absence of scratches in the company in advance.

If the reservation is proceeded as described above, the reservation, payment option, and payment window are provided without complicated input for reservation as in the prior art, so that the reservation and settlement can be completed quickly with only four touches.

However, since the process of confirming whether or not the scratches provided by the vendor is performed more positively as described above, it is often the case that scratches occur when scratches occur when returning a rental vehicle. Therefore, It is necessary to check whether there is any other scratch in addition to the scratches provided in the apparatus.

To this end, the rental car management server 200,

A photographing outline area display module 291 for outputting a photographing outline area of the rented vehicle on the screen,

A photographed image information acquisition module 292 for acquiring photographed image information about a car located in the shooting outer area,

A scratch information input module 293 for providing an input window for inputting a scratch content when scratches are present on the obtained shot image,

And a scratch information transmitting module (294) for matching and transmitting the scratch information and the captured image when the scratch information is input, wherein the scratch information generating module (290)

The scratch information generating unit may be configured to provide the scratch information to the user terminal and the car rental company terminal after the settlement is completed.

The photographing outline area exposing module outputs the photographing outline area of the leased vehicle to the screen.

If the vehicle-specific outline setting information for designating an outer area for photographing the appearance of all the vehicles is loaded in the user terminal in advance, the information display time due to the loading time of unnecessary information may be delayed due to the nature of the smart phone or the tablet PC So that if a rented vehicle is designated, a page on which the outline of the vehicle is displayed is provided.

For example, an exterior photographing area of a Genesis model is obtained from a photographing outline area exposing module, and an exterior photographing area is output to a screen of a smartphone, thereby matching the appearance of Genesis to the photographing area.

For example, when the front, rear, left, right, driver's, assistant, and rear magnet outer contours are presented, the exterior appearance of the generic to be photographed is matched.

At this time, the photographing icon can be pressed or the photographing can be automatically carried out when the photographer enters the appearance.

Since all the vehicle types do not have the same appearance, it is difficult to shoot the appearance of each vehicle type. Therefore, it is necessary to show the outer shape of the vehicle to guide the vehicle to the outside and shoot quickly.

The shot image information acquisition module acquires shot image information about a vehicle located inside the shot area, and the shot information input module provides an input window for inputting the content of the shot when the shot has a scratch on the shot image .

For example, when the front of Genesis is photographed and the actual appearance is checked, if the scratches are present, the contents of the scratches (for example, two scratches on the bumper near the front driver's seat) are input.

Further, it is also possible to further include a flaw enlargement module (not shown) for providing a guide window for enlarging and photographing the vicinity of the flaws upon input so as to magnify and photograph the flaw again.

At this time, when the scratch information is inputted, the scratch information transmitting module matches the scratch information and the captured image.

The user confirms whether there is a flaw by checking the image of the exterior of the vehicle in advance and confirms whether or not there is another flaw after confirming in real time with reference to the flaw itself by himself or herself, . ≪ / RTI >

A feature of the present invention is that a photographing request signal is sent to the user terminal and the rental car maker terminal so as to photograph the outside of the vehicle after the settlement is completed.

Alternatively, the user and the car rental business person may provide each other at the meeting.

On the other hand, the rental car management server 200, in a further configuration,

A scratch information acquiring unit 297 for acquiring scratch information and shot image information provided from the user terminal and the rental car maker terminal and storing the acquired scratch information and shot image information in the scratch information database,

And a scratch information database 298 for storing scratch information and image information of the vehicle.

The vehicle exterior image is for the user to check the exterior appearance of the vehicle, and may provide not only the appearance but also the interior photograph.

The vehicle exterior image is intended to inform the user of the presence of a flaw in the presence of a flaw and the purpose of providing the vehicle status to the user before being rented by the rental car company.

In general, a rental car company visits a designated place to receive the vehicle, and checks the state of the flaw with the person in charge.

However, in the above-mentioned method, when the user can not properly check the state of the scratches or can not memorize the contents, the user has to pay for the additional vehicle damage.

In order to remedy the above-mentioned problem, the present invention proposes a process of automatically informing a user of a flaw condition in advance, and checking a flaw condition of a relevant part within a predetermined time when a user is guided to the vehicle in advance, .

The scratch information requesting unit 296 provides a scratch confirmation request message to the user terminal and the car rental company terminal. The user and the car rental company take an image of the exterior of the vehicle, and when there is a scratch, the contents of the scratch are described .

At this time, the scratch information acquiring unit 297 acquires the scratch information and the shot image information provided from the user terminal and the car rental company terminal, and stores the acquired scratch information and shot image information in the scratch information directory.

Since the scratch information provided by the car rental company and the scratch information provided by the user are stored as described above, the car rental company and the user can check the information when the trouble occurs in the future.

Meanwhile, the rental car management server 200 further includes a scratch size analyzing unit for analyzing the size of the scratches present in the captured image of the vehicle, generating a data field including the analyzed scratch size information, and re-storing the data field in the scratch information box Lt; / RTI >

That is, the size of the flaw existing in the image provided by the rental car company or the user is analyzed to generate and store the data field for the flaw size information.

Since the technique of analyzing the size is a known technique, a detailed description will be omitted.
