The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program.

In recent years, vehicles (connected cars) for communication connection to networks, including electric vehicles, have become widespread. In the future, the spread of connected cars will further increase, and remote control of vehicles and communication control will be performed on a daily basis. Here, in a remote control system related to a car, there is a system that enables (permits) charging of an electric car on the condition of payment etc. via a network or the like (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP 2013-45456 A JP 2011-211880 A

However, in the automobile sales and leasing industry including electric vehicles, new control via a network is required. However, simply applying the conventional technology including the

patent documents

1 and 2 can meet such a requirement. There is a situation that can not respond.

Specifically, for example, in the past, a car would move even if the user did not pay a fee. Therefore, the credit has become severe in order to cope with malicious users who are behind in charge of leasing and selling cars.
For this reason, for example, credit can be omitted for users who can not make a loan because they can not buy a car, and users who can not borrow because they can not get a credit even though they want to borrow a car. There is a need for a way to protect the assets that provide the vehicle while using the vehicle.
However, simply applying the conventional techniques including

Patent Documents

1 and 2 can not meet such a demand.
In addition, this point is the same situation not only for general vehicles but also for moving objects such as other vehicles including electric vehicles and ships (hereinafter referred to as “mobility”).

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and realizes new control of mobility through the network, and users who can not make a loan because they can not pass credit, and even if they want to borrow mobility For users who can not borrow because they do not pass, the purpose is to protect assets on the side that provides mobility while letting them omit mobility and use mobility.

In order to achieve the above object, an information processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention is
Communication means for communicating with the predetermined mobility;
Trigger generation means for generating a trigger indicating a trigger of start of remote control for the mobility when a predetermined condition is satisfied;
Remote control means for performing remote control via the communication means to limit activation of the mobility when the predetermined trigger is generated;
Equipped with

The predetermined condition may be one or more conditions set in advance in view of protecting the mobility as an asset.

In addition, when the user pays a predetermined amount, the mobility is given a license to the user.
The predetermined condition may be that there is no payment of the predetermined amount for the mobility.

Further, the predetermined condition may be a condition that mobility theft has been confirmed.

Also, an information processing method and program according to an aspect of the present invention are methods and programs corresponding to the above-described information processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention.

According to the present invention, new control of mobility through the network is realized, and users who can not prepare a loan because they can not pass credit, or users who can not borrow because they can not borrow even if they want to borrow mobility On the other hand, it is possible to protect the asset on the side of providing the mobility, while omitting the credit and letting the car to be used.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an entire configuration of an information processing system including an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the hardware of the server as one Embodiment of the information processing apparatus of this invention. In order to facilitate comparison with the present invention, it is a functional block diagram for explaining the conventional concept of mobility control. It is a functional block diagram explaining the concept of control of mobility to which the present invention is applied. It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the hardware of mobility to which this invention shown in FIG. 4 is applied. It is a functional block diagram which shows the functional structure of the server of FIG. 1, and MCCS. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of a series of processes which are performed by the server of FIG. 6 from confirmation of whether payment by the user was made to collection | recovery of mobility. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of a series of processes performed by the server of FIG. 6 from alerting of the theft to notifying a police agency that the theft has been made.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an entire configuration of an information processing system S including an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the information processing system S, a server 1 and n (n is an arbitrary integer value) MCCS (Mobility Cloud Connecting System) 2-1 to n mutually communicate via a network N. Connected and configured.
Each of the MCCSs 2-1 to 2-n is mounted on each of n pieces of mobility, transmits information on the mounted mobility to the server 1, and starts the mobility according to the remote control from the server 1. Execute control.
Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to individually distinguish each of MCCSs 2-1 to 2-n, these will be collectively referred to as “MCCS 2”.
Also, the communication means for the server 1 to perform remote control for mobility via the MCCS 2 is any means such as a means using a mobile phone, a means using Wi-Fi (High Fidelity), a means using a beacon, etc. Can be adopted.
Furthermore, the MCCS 2 may be installed in the mobility when remotely controlled by the server 1, and may be installed (mounted) in advance at the time of manufacture of the mobility, or may be installed by retrofitting.

The server 1 executes the remote control to make the mobility on which the MCCS 2 is mounted incapable of being activated (restricts activation) and cancels the state in which the mobility can not be activated (cancels the restriction of activation) be able to.
Specifically, for example, when a predetermined one or more conditions are satisfied, the server 1 generates a trigger of start of remote control for mobility and starts execution of remote control for limiting activation of mobility via MCCS 2 be able to.

The conditions for generating the trigger are not particularly limited.
Specifically, for example, in the mobility equipped with the MCCS 2 of the present embodiment, when the user pays a predetermined amount, the user is given a license. Therefore, it can be adopted that one of the conditions is that the user has not paid the fee. When this condition is adopted, when it is confirmed that the user has not paid the fee, a trigger is generated to start execution of remote control that restricts the activation of mobility via MCCS 2.
Also, for example, as one of the other conditions, detection of abnormal behavior of mobility (theft etc.), detection of unauthorized use of mobility by the user, detection of absence of condition that the user can use mobility (Drinking etc.) can be adopted respectively.
Furthermore, multiple types of conditions can be combined as conditions for generating a trigger. In this case, the type and number of conditions to be combined are not particularly limited. In addition, in the case of a plurality of types of conditions, it can be designed freely as AND conditions or OR conditions.
Further details will be described below.

It is assumed that it is adopted that the payment of the charge by the user is not made as the condition of the trigger occurrence. In this case, the server 1 confirms whether the fee to be paid by the user has been paid by the due date. Specifically, for example, it is assumed that mobility is leased to a user, and a predetermined lease fee is collected each month. In this case, the server 1 periodically checks the payment record of the charge by the user, the due date, the payment amount and the like on a monthly basis.
Then, when confirming that the user has not made payment, the server 1 starts remote control of mobility activation restriction (which makes mobility activation impossible).
That is, the service provider can use the mobility as usual as long as the user pays the fee without delinquent by providing the mobility equipped with the MCCS 2 to the user. However, when the user lags the charge, the service provider can easily realize the restriction on the activation of the mobility by utilizing the remote control of the server 1.

Thus, when the user delays payment of the charge, the remote control of the server 1 restricts the mobility activation. After that, when the user pays the charge, the server 1 is used as a trigger to release the mobility activation restriction.
That is, the user can not use mobility unless he / she pays a fee.

In this manner, by adopting that the user is not paying the charge as the condition for triggering the start restriction of mobility, it is possible to omit the credit and use the mobility. It is possible to play Furthermore, for malicious users who do not pay a fee, forced activation of mobility can be performed by applying mobility activation restrictions, so the property of the service provider (the provider of mobility) should be preserved. Can. That is, it is possible to achieve the effect that it is possible to avoid the risk that may occur by omitting the credit.

Further, it is assumed that occurrence of anomalous behavior of mobility is adopted as a condition of trigger generation for starting activation limitation of mobility.
Here, the MCCS 2 can periodically transmit various data including position information of mobility to the server 1. Therefore, when the MCCS 2 incorporates various sensors such as an acceleration sensor, output information of these various sensors is also periodically transmitted to the server 1.
That is, the server 1 acquires, for example, data such as position information of mobility, acceleration information, a registered user, and a use date and time, as data periodically transmitted from the MCCS 2 installed in the mobility. The server 1 confirms the occurrence of abnormal behavior based on these data. Then, when it is confirmed that the abnormal behavior has occurred, the server 1 starts remote control of mobility activation restriction (which makes it impossible to activate the mobility).

Here, occurrence of abnormal behavior of mobility may be recognized as mobility theft as it is, that is, trigger is generated immediately upon occurrence of abnormal behavior of mobility, and immediately You may initiate mobility activation restrictions.
However, there is also the possibility that the mobility has not been stolen, that is, there has been a possibility of misidentification, merely due to the occurrence of abnormal behavior of the mobility.

Therefore, when the server 1 detects an abnormal behavior of mobility, it may first notify the user terminal (not shown) to that effect without immediately starting remote control of activation limitation of mobility. For example, when it is confirmed that the mobility has been stolen, the user who has received this notification notifies the server 1 of that effect using the user's terminal (not shown). The server 1 may generate a trigger upon receiving this contact, and may start remote control of mobility activation restriction.
Here, as described above, since the location information of the mobility is also sent to the server 1, even if the mobility is stolen, the current location can be easily determined. For example, the current location is notified to the police agency. You can also have police agencies secure mobility.

Alternatively, when an abnormal behavior of mobility is detected, the server 1 may comprehensively judge the detection result and the like to determine that the mobility is suspected of being stolen. Then, the server 1 may generate a trigger based on this certification and start remote control of mobility activation limitation.
Specifically, for example, the server 1 may perform the certification by combining a plurality of confirmation contents shown in (1) to (7) below.
(1) Based on the location information, it is confirmed that mobility is moving in the horizontal or vertical direction even though the engine of mobility is not activated.
(2) By using the position information and the geofencing technology of installing a virtual fence on the map, it is confirmed whether the mobility deviates from a preset travelable range.
(3) It is confirmed whether the data of the acceleration sensor transmitted from the MCCS 2 to the server 1 is within the range of values obtained by normal use.
(4) By setting the usable time of mobility for each user in advance, it is confirmed whether the use of mobility by the user is a use within the set usable time.
(5) The identifier (user ID) used for the user authentication is confirmed as to whether or not the user is authenticated for permission to use the mobility.
(6) Based on the data obtained by accumulating the results obtained from the sensor group 402 (see FIG. 5) of MCCS 2, the driving operation having a characteristic different from the characteristic of the driving operation by the user authorized for use permission is performed Check if it is Here, the feature of the driving operation in this case refers to a feature possessed by each user appearing in, for example, an accelerator, a brake, a shift timing, how to turn a steering, and the like.
(7) Confirm whether the sensor installed in the door or glass of mobility has reacted.
In addition, it is automatically determined by the server 1 that mobility is suspected of being stolen.
Also in this case, when the server 1 detects mobility theft, since the location information of the mobility is acquired, the user can proceed with the subsequent response while taking coordination with a police agency or the like.

In addition, it is assumed that unauthorized use of mobility by a user is adopted as a condition of trigger generation for starting activation limitation of mobility.
In this case, the server 1 confirms whether the use of the mobility of the user has passed the contractual due date. Specifically, when the user tries to use mobility, the server 1 performs confirmation by the MCCS 2 transmitting the current date and time to the server 1. Thereby, the server 1 generates a trigger when it detects an illegal use of mobility (for example, a contract overdue use), and starts remote control of mobility activation limitation.

In addition, it is assumed that the condition that the user can not use the mobility, such as drunkenness, is adopted as the condition of the trigger occurrence for starting activation restriction of the mobility.
In this case, the server 1 sets in advance a numerical value output by the monitoring sensor of the MCCS 2 when the user tries to use the mobility as confirmation that the user is not in a condition where the user can use the mobility or the like. It checks whether or not it exceeds the threshold. Specifically, for example, when the user's alcohol zone is confirmed by the numerical value obtained by the alcohol sensor of MCCS 2, the server 1 generates a trigger and starts remote control of mobility activation restriction.

Also, as in car sharing, mobility can be shared by a plurality of users. In this case, the server 1 can be configured not to activate the mobility by remote control for persons other than the user, that is, to whom mobility is not lent.
That is, a user who wants to use mobility by car sharing applies to the service provider (mobility provider) for use of mobility.
At this time, when mobility is used by the user, the server 1 can start the mobility by performing remote control. After that, when the mobility is returned from the user, the server 1 can execute remote control to prevent the mobility from being activated again.
That is, it can be adopted that it is not confirmed that the user is a valid user as a condition of trigger generation for starting activation restriction of mobility.
In this case, as long as it is not confirmed that the user is a valid user, that is, whenever the valid user is not using mobility, mobility activation restriction will be continued.

By adopting various conditions as described above as conditions of trigger generation for starting activation limitation of mobility, it is possible to maintain mobility which is an asset of a service provider (side providing mobility). it can.
However, it is dangerous to immediately start the start restriction of mobility under the above conditions.
That is, when the server 1 can not start the mobility by executing the remote control, it is necessary to prevent the safety and traffic around the user and the mobility from being affected.
Therefore, in addition to the above conditions, it is preferable that the server 1 generates a trigger only when, for example, the following (1) to (11) are satisfied to start remote control of mobility activation limitation. Note that it is not necessary to use all of the following (1) to (11) in the AND condition, and any number of arbitrary combinations of the following (1) to (11) can be used. In this case, the AND condition and the OR condition can be appropriately selected and used.

(1) The current location of mobility is within a specific location or range (2) The current location of mobility is within a specific location or range (3) within a specific date or time range (4) identification (5) Mobility engine is not running (6) Mobility is not running (7) Mobility door key is locked (8) Mobility parking The brake is applied (9) The accessory power supply for mobility is off (10) A certain amount of time has passed since mobility was parked and stopped (11) Remote control execution has specific authority Being based on human instruction to have

The details of the functional configuration of the server 1 and the MCCS 2 will be described later with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the server 1 as an embodiment of the information processing apparatus of the present invention.

The server 1 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 101, a read only memory (ROM) 102, a random access memory (RAM) 103, a bus 104, an input / output interface 105, an input unit 106, and an output unit 107. , Storage unit 108, communication unit 109, and drive 110.

The CPU 101 executes various processes in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 102 or a program loaded from the storage unit 108 to the RAM 103.
The RAM 103 appropriately stores data and the like necessary for the CPU 101 to execute various processes.

The CPU 101, the ROM 102 and the RAM 103 are mutually connected via a bus 104. An input / output interface 105 is also connected to the bus 104. An input unit 106, an output unit 107, a storage unit 108, a communication unit 109, and a drive 110 are connected to the input / output interface 105.

The input unit 106 includes a keyboard, a mouse, and the like, and inputs various information in accordance with an instruction operation of the operator.
The output unit 107 is configured by a display, a speaker, and the like, and outputs an image and sound.
The storage unit 108 is configured by a hard disk, a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), or the like, and stores various data.
The communication unit 109 controls communication performed with the MCCS 2 via the network N including the Internet.

A removable medium 120 made of a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a semiconductor memory or the like is appropriately attached to the drive 110. The program read out from the removable medium 120 by the drive 110 is installed in the storage unit 108 as needed. The removable media 120 can also store various data stored in the storage unit 108 in the same manner as the storage unit 108.

Although not shown, each of the MCCS 2 has basically the same configuration and function as each of the CPU 101 to the drive 110 shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram illustrating a conventional mobility control concept to facilitate comparison with the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 3, the conventional mobility includes an operation unit 401, a control unit 404, a drive unit 405, and a power supply unit 406.
The operation unit 401 transmits predetermined operation information to the control unit 404.
The control unit 404 executes traveling control on the drive unit 405 based on the operation information from the operation unit 401. For example, in the case of an electric vehicle in which an electric motor is adopted as the drive unit 405, a so-called VCU (Vehcle Control Unit) constitutes the control unit 404. Further, for example, in the case of a gasoline automobile in which an engine is adopted as the drive unit 405, a so-called ECU (Engine Control Unit) constitutes the control unit 404.
The driving unit 405 is a driving mechanism for moving the mobility, for example, an inverter or an electric motor in the case of an electric vehicle, and an engine or the like in the case of a gasoline vehicle.
The power supply unit 406 performs power control on the drive unit 405.

FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram illustrating the concept of mobility control to which the present invention is applied.
As shown in FIG. 4, the mobility to which the present invention is applied is, in addition to including the operation unit 401, the control unit 404, the drive unit 405, and the power supply unit 406, as in the conventional case. Equipped with

The MCCS 2 communicates with the server 1 via the network N. Thereby, the server 1 can perform remote control of mobility and monitor the status via the MCCS 2.
The MCCS 2 executes travel control for the drive unit 405 via the control unit 404 and travel control for the drive unit via the control unit 404 and the power supply unit 406.
In other words, in the present invention, in addition to the judgment logic of the control unit 404 such as the ECU / VCU (ECU unit) 501 etc. conventionally mounted on mobility, the judgment logic of MCCS 2 itself and the judgment logic existing on the server 1 Drive control and power control for the drive unit 405 via the MCCS 2.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of mobility to which the present invention shown in FIG. 4 is applied.

The mobility shown in FIG. 5 assumes, by way of example, an electric car or a gasoline car (including two-, three-, and four-wheeled vehicles).
The operation system 504 includes, for example, a starter switch / key cylinder 601, an accelerator 602, a brake 603, a steering 604, and a shift 605, which are connected to the MCCS 2 by control lines.

The MCCS 2 includes a communication unit 403 and a control unit 404. The communication unit 403 performs communication by 2G, 3G, 4G, and the like.
The communication method between MCCS 2 and ECU / VCU 501 is not particularly limited. For example, communication using various communication lines such as CAN communication including OBD and serial communication including RS232C, RS485, and USB can be employed.

As communication between the MCCS 2 and the power source (gasoline or battery & BMS), communication is performed in which various information such as gasoline amount, voltage, charge amount, temperature and the like are transmitted to the MCCS 2.
Conventionally (normally), the operation system 504 and the ECU / VCU 501 are directly connected, but the MCCS 2 takes a form of interruption here. That is, the MCCS 2 can control the operation system 504 by intervening in the information control of the ECU / VCU 501.
The MCCS 2 can also electrically control an operation system 504 including an ignition (not shown), a starter / key cylinder 601, an accelerator 602, a brake 603, a steering 604, a shift 605, a door lock (not shown) and the like. .

In the MCCS 2, various internal sensors including a voltage sensor, a temperature sensor, a position information sensor (GPS), an acceleration sensor (G sensor) and the like can be provided as the sensor group 402. The MCCS 2 transmits the signal detected by each of the various sensors to the server 1. The server 1 appropriately uses these signals when executing the control described above.

As described above, conventionally (normally), a signal is directly transmitted from operation system 504 to ECU / VCU 501, but in the mobility to which the present invention is applied, MCCS 2 is interposed between operation system 504 and ECU / VCU 501. Therefore, the MCCS 2 can control a signal transmitted from the operation system 504 to the ECU / VCU 501.
For example, the ON signal of the starter switch can be converted to an OFF signal by the MCCS and transmitted to the ECU / VCU 501.

Also, for example, the signal of the accelerator input 100 can be converted into a signal of 70 by the MCCS and transmitted to the ECU / VCU 501.
Thus, in the mobility to which the present invention is applied, the MCCS 2 can convert the signal from the operation system 504 including the starter switch / key cylinder 601 and the accelerator 602. As a result, it is possible to execute remote control along with condition determination by the server 1 not only for mobility activation control but also for limitation of acceleration performance by accelerator control and traveling speed limitation.

FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing the functional configuration of the server 1 and the MCCS 2 of FIG.

First, the functional configuration of the server 1 will be described.
In the CPU 101 (FIG. 2) of the server 1, the vehicle information acquisition unit 201, the payment information acquisition unit 202, the trigger generation unit 203, and the remote control unit 204 function.

The vehicle information acquisition unit 201 acquires, via the communication unit 109, the information on mobility transmitted from the MCCS 2.
The payment information acquisition unit 202 acquires information on the presence or absence of payment of a fee by the user.

The trigger generation unit 203 uses the information acquired by the vehicle information acquisition unit 201 and the payment information acquisition unit 202 as appropriate, and determines whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. When the trigger generation unit 203 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the trigger generation unit 203 generates a trigger for starting remote control for mobility.
Such trigger generation unit 203 includes a trigger transmission unit 301, a nonpayment detection unit 302, a theft detection unit 303, an unauthorized use 304, and an alcohol detection unit 305.
In the example shown in FIG. 6, for convenience, it is assumed that a detection signal from any of the nonpayment detection unit 302 to the alcohol detection unit 305 is output as the trigger generation condition.
That is, when the detection signal is output from any of the non-payment detection unit 302 to the alcohol detection unit 305, the trigger transmission unit 301 generates a trigger and transmits it to the remote control unit 204.
The nonpayment detector 302 detects nonpayment by the user. Theft detection unit 303 detects mobility theft. The unauthorized use unit 304 detects unauthorized use of mobility by a user. The alcohol detection unit 305 detects that the user is drunk (alcohol).

When mobility is shared (such as car sharing), as described above, a functional block (not shown) from which a detection signal is output when a legitimate user is not using it is a trigger. It is provided in the generation unit 203. That is, the non-payment detection unit 302 to the alcohol detection unit 305 are merely examples, and the functional block changes as appropriate according to the condition adopted as the trigger generation condition.

The remote control unit 204 performs remote control for mobility by communicating between the communication unit 109 and the MCCS 2 installed in the mobility.
For example, when the trigger is transmitted from the trigger transmission unit 301, the remote control unit 204 starts remote control of mobility activation restriction.
Specifically, for example, in FIG. 5, the mobility starter switch / key cylinder 601, the accelerator 602, the brake 603, the steering 604, and the shift 605 are remotely controlled by the remote control unit 204.

Next, the functional configuration of MCCS 2 will be described.
In the MCCS 2, the sensor group 402, the communication unit 403, and the control unit 404 function.
Each of the various sensors of the sensor group 402 detects various signals related to mobility. The types of various sensors are not particularly limited. For example, a voltage sensor, a temperature sensor, a position information sensor, an acceleration sensor or the like can be employed.
The control unit 404 includes a start control unit 701 and a sensor information acquisition unit 702. The activation control unit 701 executes control of activation of mobility under the execution of control by the remote control unit 204 of the server 1. The sensor information acquisition unit 702 acquires signals detected by the various sensors of the sensor group 402.
The signal acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 702 is transmitted to the server 1 via the communication unit 403 of the MCCS 2 as sensor information on mobility.

Next, a process to be performed to save the asset of the mobility provider when the user does not pay the fee will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of a series of processes performed by the server 1 from confirmation of whether payment by the user is made to recovery of mobility. In FIG. 7, a vehicle is assumed as an example of the mobility.

In step S11, the trigger generation unit 203 of the server 1 checks whether a predetermined time has elapsed from a predetermined time point. For example, if the vehicle is a lease and the lease fee is paid each time, the predetermined time of the last promised payment date is the "predetermined time" and one month is the "certain time".
If the predetermined time has not elapsed, it is determined as NO in step S11, and the process is returned to step S11. That is, the process of step S11 is repeatedly performed.
On the other hand, if the predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined as YES in step S11, and the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, the nonpayment sensor 302 checks whether the user has paid the fee.
When payment information is acquired by the payment information acquisition unit 202, YES is determined in step S12, and the process is returned to step S11. That is, the determination process of step S11 is repeated until the predetermined time elapses (until the next month). In this case, since the remote control for limiting the start of the vehicle is not performed, the user can continue to get on the vehicle.
On the other hand, when payment information is not acquired by payment information acquisition part 202, it is judged with it being NO in Step S12. In this case, the trigger transmission unit 301 generates a trigger and transmits the trigger to the remote control unit 204. The process then proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, the remote control unit 204 communicates with the communication unit 109 and the MCCS 2 to start remote control for restricting the activation of the vehicle on which the MCCS 2 is mounted. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the nonpayment sensor 302 checks again whether or not the user has paid the fee.

If it is not confirmed at this stage that the user has paid the fee, it is determined as NO in step S14, and the process proceeds to step S15.
In step S15, the server 1 issues an instruction for recovering the vehicle from the user for the purpose of preserving the property. Thus, the series of processing ends.

On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the user paid the fee, it is determined as YES in step S14, and the process proceeds to step S16.
In step S16, the remote control unit 204 executes remote control for releasing the activation restriction of the vehicle. This allows the user to use the vehicle.
Thereafter, the process returns to step S11. That is, the determination process of step S11 is repeated until the predetermined time elapses (until the next month). In this case, since the remote control for limiting the start of the vehicle is not performed, the user can continue to get on the vehicle.

Next, a process that is executed to secure the asset of the mobility provider when mobility theft is detected will be described.
FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing a flow of a series of processes performed by the server 1 from detection of theft to notifying a police agency that the theft has been made. In addition, FIG. 8 assumes the vehicle as an example among mobility similarly to FIG.

In step S21, the remote control unit 204 of the server 1 executes remote control so that the MCCS 2 is in the power saving standby state.

In step S22, the remote control unit 204 confirms whether a predetermined time has elapsed from a predetermined time. The "predetermined time" and the "fixed time" mentioned here are different from those in FIG. That is, the "predetermined time" is the time when vehicle information was obtained last time. And "a fixed time" is the time of the interval which acquires vehicle information, ie, sampling time.
If the predetermined time has not elapsed, it is determined as NO in step S22, and the process returns to step S21. That is, the loop process of steps S21 and S22 is repeatedly executed until the fixed time elapses, and the MCCS 2 maintains the power saving standby state.
When the predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined as YES in step S22, and the process proceeds to step S23.

In step S23, the vehicle information acquisition unit 201 acquires vehicle information from the MCCS 2.

In step S24, the theft detection unit 303 determines whether the theft of the vehicle has been detected based on the acquired vehicle information.
If the theft of the vehicle can not be detected, the process returns to step S21.
On the other hand, if the theft of the vehicle can be detected, it is determined in step S24 that the result is YES. In this case, the trigger transmission unit 301 generates a trigger and transmits the remote control unit 204. The process then proceeds to step S25.

In step S25, the remote control unit 204 communicates with the communication unit 109 and the MCCS 2 to start remote control for restricting the start of the vehicle on which the MCCS 2 is mounted.
In step S26, the server 1 executes control to notify the police agency that the vehicle has been stolen. Thus, the series of processing ends.

It is not limited to the example of FIG.

Also, the location of the functional block is not limited to FIGS. 3, 4 and 6, and may be arbitrary.
Further, one functional block may be configured by hardware alone, may be configured by software alone, or may be configured by a combination of them.

When the process of each functional block is to be executed by software, a program constituting the software is installed on a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium.
The computer may be a computer incorporated in dedicated hardware. In addition, the computer may be a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, such as a general-purpose smartphone or personal computer other than a server.

A recording medium including such a program is provided not only to removable media distributed separately from the apparatus main body to provide the program to the user, but also provided to the user in a state of being incorporated in the apparatus main body. It comprises a recording medium etc. The removable medium 120 is made of, for example, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or a magneto-optical disk. The optical disc is constituted of, for example, a CD-ROM (Compact Disk-Read Only Memory), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) or the like. The magneto-optical disk is configured by an MD (Mini-Disk) or the like. Further, the recording medium provided to the user in a state of being incorporated in the apparatus main body is, for example, a ROM in which a program is recorded, a hard disk or the like.

In the present specification, in the step of describing the program to be recorded on the recording medium, the processing performed chronologically according to the order is, of course, parallel or individually not necessarily necessarily chronologically processing. It also includes the processing to be performed.

In addition, in the present specification, the term "system" refers to an overall device composed of a plurality of devices, a plurality of means, and the like.

In this embodiment, the device that can not be activated by execution of remote control by the server 1 is mobility (moving objects such as other vehicles including electric vehicles and ships), but the mobility includes, for example, motorcycles, agricultural machines, Moving objects such as industrial machines can also be included.

In other words, the information processing apparatus to which the present invention is applied only needs to have the following configuration, and can have various configurations including the server 1 of FIG. 6 described above.
That is, an information processing apparatus (for example, the server 1 in FIG. 6) to which the present invention is applied is
Communication means (e.g., communication unit 109 in FIG. 6) for communicating with predetermined mobility;
Trigger generation means (for example, a trigger generation unit 203 in FIG. 6) for generating a trigger of start of remote control for the mobility when a predetermined condition is satisfied;
Remote control means (for example, the remote control unit 204 in FIG. 6) that executes remote control via the communication means to limit activation of the mobility when the predetermined trigger is generated;
You just have to
As a result, new control of mobility via the network is realized, and credit is available to users who can not make a loan because they do not pass credit, and for users who can not borrow because they do not pass credit even if they want to borrow mobility. Can be omitted to use mobility.

The predetermined condition may be one or more conditions set in advance in view of protecting the mobility as an asset.
In addition, when the user pays a predetermined amount, the mobility is given a license to the user.
The predetermined condition may be that there is no payment of the predetermined amount for the mobility.
Further, the predetermined condition may be a condition that mobility theft has been confirmed.
As a result, it is possible to protect assets on the side of providing mobility.
