Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flowchart of a shared bicycle management method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 1, the shared bicycle management method includes the following steps: First, in step (a), the cloud shared bicycle management device 200 can use the shared bicycle data collection unit 210 in a wired or wireless manner Obtain the shared bicycle information of each shared bicycle rental station 100. Among them, the shared bicycle data includes the rental number of each shared bicycle 110, the bicycle number of each shared bicycle 110, the pick-up time of each shared bicycle 110, the longitude of each shared bicycle 110, Pickup latitude of each shared bicycle 110, return time of each shared bicycle 110, return longitude of each shared bicycle 110, return latitude of each shared bicycle 110, and rental of each shared bicycle The total number of bicycles in station 100, the current number of bicycles in each shared bicycle rental station 100, and the current number of empty bicycles in each shared bicycle rental station 100.

Furthermore, in step (b), the computing unit 220 of the cloud shared bicycle management device 200 performs data calculation in the manner of artificial intelligence and big data data processing based on the shared bicycle data obtained by the shared bicycle data collection unit 210, and Generate a shared bike reward scheme. Among them, the shared bicycle reward scheme should be a car pickup reward scheme or a car return reward scheme, and the calculation method of the shared bicycle reward scheme will be described in the following paragraph, and at the same time, it will be further explained in conjunction with FIG. 3.

3 is a flowchart of a calculation method of a shared bicycle reward scheme according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the calculation method of the shared bicycle reward scheme includes the following steps: First, a map is divided into a plurality of areas, and each area includes at least one shared bicycle rental station 100. Furthermore, the computing unit 220 calculates the shared bicycle pick-up speed and shared bicycle return speed of the shared bicycle rental station 100 in each area according to the aforementioned shared bicycle data. Finally, the car picking reward scheme is generated according to a car picking reward formula, or the car returning reward scheme is generated according to a car returning reward formula.

In this embodiment, X is the shared bicycle pickup speed, X _{t =1} is the number of shared bicycles 110 taken out within a unit time period, Y is the shared bicycle return speed, Y _{t =1} is within a unit time period The number of shared bicycles 110 returned, t is a unit time period, and here a unit time period is one hour. When X _t <Y _t , it means that the return speed of the shared bicycle rental station 100 in the area during this period is greater than the speed of the car pickup, which may cause the number of bicycles 110 in the shared bicycle rental station 100 to be too large, which may affect the user terminal 300 It takes a long time to return the car. At this time, it is suitable to use the car picking reward scheme, and the car picking reward formula is (X _t -Y _t )/2 ^Xt , that is, the shared bike return speed minus the shared bike pick up speed Afterwards, with the number of shared bikes taken out, divide the square root by an increment of 2.

In the same way, X is the shared bicycle pickup speed, X _{t =1} is the number of shared bicycles 110 taken out in a unit time period, Y is the shared bicycle return speed, Y _{t =1} is the shared return in one unit time period The number of bicycles 110, t is a unit time period, and here a unit time period is one hour. On the other hand, when X _t ≥ Y _t , the speed at which the shared bicycle rental station 100 in this area picks up the vehicle is faster than the return speed, which may cause the insufficient number of bicycles 110 in the shared bicycle rental station 100 to affect The user terminal 300 cannot pick up the car in real time. At this time, it is suitable to use the car return reward scheme, and the formula for the car return reward is (Y _t -X _t )/2 ^Yt , that is, the shared bicycle picking speed minus the shared bicycle return car After the speed, the number of square roots is divided by 2 in increments with the number of bikes returned.

It can be clearly seen from the above car pickup reward formula and car return reward formula that when the shared bicycle reward scheme adopts the car pickup reward scheme, the reward points, bonuses or discounts will decrease with the number of shared bicycles 110 taken out; Similarly, when the shared bicycle reward scheme adopts the car return reward scheme, the reward points, bonuses or discounts will also decrease with the number of shared bicycles 110 returned.

Next, in step (c), a transmission unit 230 of the cloud shared bicycle management device transmits the shared bicycle reward scheme (car pickup reward scheme or a car return reward scheme) to at least one through wireless or wired means Shared bicycle client 300. Among them, the at least one bike sharing client 300 can use a Windows PC, a multimedia information platform (Kiosk), a smart phone (Smart Phone), a smart TV (Smart TV) and a tablet PC (Tablet PC) And other electronic devices receive the shared bicycle reward scheme transmitted by the transmission unit.

Finally, in step (d), the at least one bike sharing client 300 may, according to the received bike sharing reward scheme, go to the neighboring bike sharing rental station 100 to perform a car pickup or return operation. Among them, when the shared bicycle reward scheme is a car pickup reward scheme, the user 300 can receive a reward (points, bonuses or discounts) after the car pickup action; otherwise, when the shared bicycle reward scheme is a car return scheme, then The user terminal 300 can receive rewards (points, bonuses, or discounts) after returning the car.

The following will further explain the calculation method of the shared bicycle reward scheme with specific implementation data.

表一、初始單車位數　　　　 表二、一單位時間後單車位數First, divide the map into 9 areas, and each area contains at least one shared bicycle rental station, and set the shared bicycle rental station in each area to a balanced state. The current number of bicycles in the shared bicycle rental station in the area There are 6 of them, as shown in Table 1 below. After a unit time (here, one hour), the current number of bicycles in shared bicycle rental stations in each area changes in quantity. The number is shown in Table 2 below.

Table 1. Initial number of bicycles Table 2. Number of bicycles per unit time

表三、共享單車還車速度　　　　 表四、共享單車取車速度According to the records obtained by the shared bicycle data collection unit, the data of car pickup and return within a unit time (that is, t=1) are as follows. Among them, Table 3 is the number of vehicles returned per unit time (that is, shared bicycle return speed), and Table 4 is the number of vehicles collected per unit time (that is, shared bicycle return speed).

Table 3. Shared bicycle return speed table 4. Shared bicycle pickup speed

According to the above car pickup reward formula (where X is the shared bicycle pickup speed, Y is the shared bicycle return speed, and t is the unit time period), when X _t <Y _t , it represents the number of shared bicycle return in the unit period In many cases, in order to maintain the balance of the number of shared bicycles in shared bicycle rental stations, the system will reward the user who takes out each shared bicycle. The calculation formula of the car pickup reward scheme is (X _t -Y _t )/2 ^Xt . In other words, for the first shared bike that was taken out during the unit time period, the corresponding car user's car reward scheme was the best; for each shared bike that was subsequently taken out, its corresponding client's The car pickup reward scheme will decrease as the number of shared bikes taken out increases by the square root of the increment divided by 2.

On the other hand, when X _t ≥ Y _t , it means that the number of shared bicycles in the unit time period is large. In order to maintain the balance of the number of shared bicycles in the shared bicycle rental station, the system will reward the client who returns each shared bicycle. The calculation formula of the return reward scheme is (Y _t -X _t )/2 ^Yt . In other words, for the first shared bike that was returned within the unit period, the corresponding user's car return reward plan was the best; and then for each shared bike that was returned, its corresponding client's The car return reward scheme will decrease as the number of shared bikes returned increases by the square root of the increment divided by 2.

Taking the data in Table 1, 2, 3, and 4 located in the center grid area as an example, the number of shared bicycles in the shared bicycle rental station is 6, and the number of shared bicycles after a unit time is 10; further, in unit time In the shared bike rental station, the number of returning cars is 6, and the number of taking cars is 2. The changing process is: 6 (initial) + 6 (returning a car)-2 (collecting a car) = 10 (final)

Since 2 (car pickup speed) <6 (car return speed), that is, X _t <Y _t is met, it means that the shared bicycle reward plan for this period is the car pickup reward scheme, so each unit will share a bicycle from this area within the unit time The shared bicycles taken out of the rental station can be rewarded at the user end: (6-2)/2 ^Y , where Y is the serial number of the shared bicycles taken out, that is, the first reward for the shared bicycles taken out: (6-2)/ 2 ¹ = 2, the second reward for taking out a shared bike: (6-2)/2 ² = 1, the third reward for taking out a shared bike: (6-2)/2 ³ = 0.5, the fourth one for taking out a shared bike Bicycle reward: (6-2)/2 ⁴ = 0.25, and so on.

If the reward for the car-rewarding scheme is F yuan, the reward for the first user who takes out the shared bicycle is 2F yuan, and the reward for the second user who takes out the shared bicycle is F yuan. The reward for the three users who take out the shared bicycle is 0.5F yuan, the reward for the fourth user who takes out the shared bicycle is 0.25F yuan, and so on. Through the above-mentioned methods, the speed of picking up and returning cars is controlled in a rewarding or compulsory manner, so that the number of shared bikes in shared bike rental stations tends to be in a good and stable state.

However, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of implementation of the present invention cannot be limited by this, that is, simple changes and modifications made according to the patent application scope and description of the present invention are still within the present invention. Covered.
