<First Embodiment>

[Delivery Service]

Use Fig. 1 to explain the concept of the outgoing service in this embodiment. In this embodiment, as a means of transportation equipped with a mobile battery, an electric bicycle is taken as an example for description, but it is not limited to this. In addition, the number of mobile batteries mounted in the means of transportation may be one or more than one. In addition, the mobile battery is made detachable with respect to the means of transportation.

In addition, the so-called "service" described below refers to a service provided by access by means of transportation that is equipped with a mobile battery and can use the power to perform operations.

In FIG. 1, the service base 101 is the base of the service company, and the person who provides the service (hereinafter referred to as the service personnel) performs delivery to each delivery destination with the service base 101 as the center. Here, the outgoing delivery system uses the means of transportation 102, and a plurality of means of transportation 102 and a mobile battery 103 that can be mounted on the means of transportation 102 are maintained at the service site 101. In addition, in this embodiment, the mobile battery 103 held in the service site 101 is charged for the next use.

There are a plurality of delivery destinations (hereinafter referred to as visit destinations) serving as service provision destinations around the service base 101. The mobile batteries 110 to 112 are respectively arranged in the visit destinations 104 to 106 among the plurality of visit destinations. The mobile batteries 110 to 112 are set to be charged, and can be used as needed. The portable batteries 110 to 112 are described as being rechargeable from a household power source. On the other hand, no portable batteries are placed in the visit destinations 107 to 109.

The dotted line 113 shown in Fig. 1 represents the mobile battery 103 equipped with a fully charged battery. The transportation means 102 can move from the service base 101. Here, the maximum range that the means of transportation 102 can go back and forth from the service site 101 with one charge is shown.

Furthermore, since there are situations where the service personnel visit multiple destinations in one delivery, the movable range changes in this situation. Furthermore, the movable range varies according to external factors (weather or road shape, attributes of passengers, etc.) or internal factors (deterioration degree of the means of transportation 102 or mobile battery 103, etc.).

Based on this situation, for example, consider a case where a service is provided to a visit destination 106 located outside the area indicated by the dotted line 113. According to the conventional situation, since the visit destination 106 is outside the area of the dotted line 113, the transportation means 102 cannot be used as a mobile means to provide services.

[Operation range of means of transportation]

Expansion of the operation range of the means of transportation in this embodiment will be explained using Fig. 2.

As explained using FIG. 1, when the service base 101 is the center, the movable range of the transportation means 102 by one charge is limited to a certain range. In contrast to this, in this embodiment, the movable range of the means of transportation 102 is expanded by arranging mobile batteries for each visit destination.

When the means of transportation 201 is equipped with a fully charged mobile battery, the range from the current position to the dotted line 202 is set as a movable range. In this case, the means of transportation 201 can move to the visiting destinations 203 and 204. Here, set as the visit destination 203~206 are respectively equipped with charged mobile batteries 207~210. At this time, the service personnel visit the visit destination 203 by means of transportation 201, and can move within the range shown by the dotted line 211 centered on the visit destination 203 by changing to a mobile battery 207. As a result, the service personnel can move (arrive) to the visit destination 205. Furthermore, by replacing it with a mobile battery 209 arranged at the visit destination 205, it is possible to expand a further movable range. In addition, at the time of replacement, the previously installed (used) mobile battery is charged at each visit destination.

In this way, it is possible to expand/change the movable range of the transportation means by timely replacement with the charged mobile batteries arranged at each visit destination. As a result, for example, it is possible to provide services to the visiting destination 106 far away from the service site 101 as shown in FIG. 1, that is, located at a location that cannot be moved to by a mobile battery that is fully charged once.

[Software configuration example]

An example of the configuration of the software of the information processing device that functions as the server of the service management system of the present embodiment will be explained using FIG. 5.

The server 500 of this embodiment includes user information management means 501, battery information management means 502, battery information collection means 503, service range determination means 504, service range notification means 505, user information DB 506, battery information DB 507, and service The information DB508 and the map information DB509 are constituted.

The user information management means 501 manages and updates the user information held in the user information DB (database) 506. The so-called user here includes the service user who becomes the destination of the service and the service personnel who performs the service.

The battery information management means 502 manages and updates the information held in the battery information DB 507. The mobile battery to be managed here includes a mobile battery arranged in the service site 101, a mobile battery arranged in a visit destination, and a mobile battery in use by means of transportation.

The battery information collecting means 503 collects real-time information from the mobile battery of the management object, and provides it to the battery information management means 502. The collection method here can include collection from mobile batteries via wireless communication, or input from the manager, but is not particularly limited. In addition, it can also accept the registration of newly used mobile batteries, or the deletion of mobile batteries that are not subject to management.

The service range determination means 504 is based on the battery information DB507, service information DB508, Or the information managed in the map information DB509, etc., to determine the currently available services and the available scope.

The service range presentation means 505 provides the user with the service range determined by the service range determination means 504. The method of providing is not particularly limited. For example, when the service user applies for the service, it can indicate the service that can be provided based on the location of the service user (for example, the home of the destination provided). The application here can be a configuration that can be applied from a web page via a web browser, or it can be a configuration that can be applied via an application installed on an information processing terminal (portable terminal).

The user information DB506 holds information of each user. For example, as information related to a user who is a service user, there may be information on the location of the home where the destination is to be provided (visited destination), whether a battery can be installed, access history, service utilization history, etc. In addition, as information related to the user as a service person, information about the currently used means of transportation or mobile battery, or current location, access history, content of available services, access schedule, etc. can be listed.

The battery information DB507 holds the information of each mobile battery. As the information of the mobile battery, for example, the current usage status, arrangement location, charging status (remaining amount of power), memory capacity status, usage history, etc. can be listed.

The service information DB508 holds service-related information. As the information related to the service, the content of the service that can be provided, the resources required for the service, the schedule of the service, etc. can be listed.

The map information DB509 holds map information of the service base or the surrounding area of the visited destination. Here, it is also possible to map the information of the visit destination based on the use history of the service user.

Furthermore, the various means of the server shown in FIG. 5 can also be constructed by using a plurality of information processing devices for load distribution. In addition, each database is not limited to the structure maintained by the server itself with various means, and may be constituted as a machine connected by means of communication via a network. In this case, the server can obtain the required information by accessing external machines and referring to various databases. In addition, it can also be configured to implement part of the means shown in FIG. 5 by the terminal device side (or application software in the terminal device).

[Processing process]

(The scope of service determines the processing)

Using FIG. 6, the process flow of determining the range of services that can be provided in the server 500 will be described. This processing is realized by a method in which the CPU of the server 500 reads and executes a program held in an HDD or the like, and operates as the service range determination unit 504. This processing may be performed at predetermined intervals, for example, or when an instruction from the user is accepted.

In S601, the server 500 obtains the location information of the service base. At this time, you can also obtain information on the surrounding road conditions, weather, and traffic jams around the service base.

In S602, the server 500 uses the location information of the service base as a starting point, and uses a fully charged mobile battery to specify the range that can be moved by means of transportation. Here, The movable range can also be specified based on the specifications of the means of transportation used or the information of the mobile battery. In addition, the movable range can also be specified based on the round-trip movement or the conditions of the surrounding roads of the service base.

In S603, the server 500 obtains from the battery information DB507 the information on the disposition status and the charging status of the mobile battery disposed at each disposition location other than the service base. For example, information such as the mobile batteries 110 to 112 shown in FIG. 1 belongs to this information.

In S604, the server 500 determines whether there are other mobile batteries that can be used within the range specified in S602 based on the mobile battery information obtained in S603. The mobile battery that can be used here includes a situation where a use permission is granted at the location of the deployment destination, or a mobile battery that has been charged above a predetermined threshold. In addition, the criteria used to determine that it is available are not particularly limited, and can be specified by the user of the placement destination, or can be specified in accordance with a contract or the like. Alternatively, when another user makes a reservation for use, the portable battery may be determined to be unusable. When a mobile battery that can be used is installed (YES in S604), go to S608, and when it is not installed (NO in S604), go to S605.

In S605, the server 500 uses the position where the available mobile battery is configured as a starting point, and specifies the movable range using the mobile battery. Here, the movable range can also be specified based on the specifications of the means of transportation used or the information of the mobile battery. In addition, the movable range can also be specified according to the movement of back and forth, or the conditions of the surrounding roads of the location for placement, etc. When there are a plurality of mobile batteries that can be used, the movable range is specified with the position of each mobile battery as the starting point.

In S606, the server 500 updates the serviceable range based on the range specified in S605. At this time, regarding the movable range, the reliability can also be set. For example, in an area specified as a range that can be moved from a service site and a location where a mobile battery is disposed, the repeated area is a range where a plurality of mobile batteries can be used. That is, even if it is assumed that the portable battery to be used is suddenly used by another user, it will be a situation that another portable battery that becomes a substitute is located nearby. Therefore, it is also possible to perform the following control, that is, to preferentially use the mobile battery arranged in the position included in the overlapping area.

In S607, the server 500 specifies the range updated in S606 as a serviceable range. Then, this processing flow ends.

In S608, the server 500 specifies the range specified in S602 as the range in which the service can be provided. Then, this processing flow ends.

Furthermore, in the above, although the content of the service is not specifically considered, for example, when there is time required for the service, or the parts that need to be moved during the service, it can also be determined according to the characteristics of the service. Specify the scope of services that can be provided.

[Reward for mobile battery configuration]

As described above, as an outbound service company, it is possible to expand the range of services that can be provided due to the large number of places where mobile batteries can be placed outside the service base 101. On the other hand, as the side that deploys mobile batteries (for example, service users), because of the deployment of mobile batteries, In addition, there is a burden of charging, so it is better to get rewards that match it.

Therefore, the present embodiment considers the function of the mobile battery and the characteristics of the delivery service, and is configured as a reward for the service user. Furthermore, a description will be given of a form used to also improve the convenience of the delivery service company side.

Here, take home medical service as an example, and describe it as an outgoing service. In family medical services, there is a feature of regular visits to a predetermined place (such as a home). In addition, in home medical care, there are situations in which the acquisition/management is related to the daily habits or behavior patterns of the service users in the place (movement between houses or the use of electrical products, the use of drugs, etc.) Information or biological information (blood pressure or body temperature), or use such as medical-related machines. Examples of devices that collect or use such information include devices that measure blood pressure, various sensors, and household appliances. Here, for convenience, this type of machine is referred to as a "base machine".

The mobile battery 400 of this embodiment has the structure shown in FIG. 4, and it collects predetermined types of data from various base devices installed in the home while charging at the installation place (such as a home). In addition, the description will be given as the data collected at the service base 701 collected by the mobile battery 400 and maintained.

In this way, when the mobile battery 400 is charged, the predetermined information of the site is collected, so that, for example, the user can seek to improve the service content by providing information useful for the service to the service company in real time. Furthermore, as a service company, the required information can be stored in mobile batteries.

[Data collection order]

Using FIG. 7, the procedure of collecting data from the base machine at the position where the mobile battery 400 is arranged in the present embodiment will be described. At this time, at each installation location, a base device that communicates with the mobile battery 400 and can send and receive information is arranged. In addition, the means of transportation 702 of this embodiment is capable of network communication with the outside. Here, each installation location is shown as a charging base 703.

In S711, the mobile battery 400 is charged at the service site 701.

In S712, the mobile battery 400 used in the visit of the service personnel is rented at the service base 701. At this time, the power storage means 401 of the mobile battery 400 is rented in a fully charged or nearly fully charged state. On the other hand, the data memorized in the memory means 402 of the mobile battery 400 becomes the minimum required state, and the memory area is fully secured.

In S713, the means of transportation 702 uses the mobile battery 400 that has been rented for driving. Along with this, the power consumption of the mobile battery 400 is performed. Furthermore, at this time, the mobile battery 400 can memorize the power consumption status in the memory means 402 as history information.

In S714, the mobile battery 400 is installed at the charging site 703. For example, as described above, the service personnel replace the mobile battery with less remaining capacity of the electric power carried on the means of transportation 702 with a mobile battery that has been charged at the charging station 703, thereby installing the mobile battery at the charging station 703 .

In S715, the mobile battery 400 is charged at the charging site 703. At this time, it is also possible to send location information to the server 500 to update the location information of the portable battery 400 (a place where charging is being performed) accompanying the restart of charging of the mobile battery 400. Alternatively, it may also be configured as follows. That is, as the mobile battery 400 is removed from the means of transportation 702 and replaced with another mobile battery, the means of transportation 702 will provide information related to the location where the mobile battery 400 is removed Notify the server 500. In addition, information related to the replacement history can also be recorded.

In S716, the mobile battery 400 is used to collect data at the charging site 703. The data collection here is the information sent from various base machines installed at the charging base 703 by the communication means 403 or the input/output means 404 of the mobile battery 400. The base equipment here includes, for example, medical equipment used in home medicine, or electrical products, photographing devices (cameras), detection equipment (sensors), recording devices (microphones), etc., and are not particularly limited. In addition, the collected data is not particularly limited, and may be still images, moving images, sound, and so on. Furthermore, the settings related to the communication between the base machines that provide the data to be collected have been made in advance. In addition, the mobile battery 400 can also record the collected history information and the like.

In S717, the charged mobile battery 400 is rented at the charging site 703. For example, a newly-visited service person may rent the mobile battery 400 by replacing it.

In S718, the transportation means 702 sends the various data stored in the memory means 402 of the mounted mobile battery 400 to the server 500 set up at the service base 701 or the like. Here, the means of transportation 702 has a communication means for communicating with the outside. Furthermore, there are no particular restrictions on communication specifications, etc., and the communication method can be switched as necessary.

In S719, collect the data sent from the transportation means 702 at the service base 701. At this time, the information related to the mobile battery before replacement can also be collected together. For example, information related to the location information or the time of replacement of a mobile battery installed with replacement can be cited.

In S720, the means of transportation 702 uses the mobile battery 400 that has been rented for driving. Along with this, the power consumption of the mobile battery 400 is performed. Furthermore, at this time, the mobile battery 400 can memorize the power consumption status in the memory means 402 as history information. Moreover, this step can be carried out simultaneously with the sending of the data in S718.

In S721, the used mobile battery 400 is returned at the service location 701.

Furthermore, in the above example, it was shown that the service personnel replaced the mobile battery at a charging base (visited destination), but it is not limited to this. For example, in the case of visiting multiple charging locations (visit destinations), each time the mobile battery is replaced, the data stored in the memory means of each mobile battery will be sent from the transportation 702 to the server 500.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when using transportation using mobile batteries to provide outgoing services, the scope of service provision is expanded, and information collection using the functions of mobile batteries is possible. In this way, the convenience of delivery service can be improved.

<Second Embodiment>
