Recently, a business form called a car sharing service has been implemented in which a specific vehicle can be shared among multiple members and rented at any time. For example, there is a business form in which a plurality of corporate users registered with a company that manages and provides the target vehicle use the target vehicle when necessary and pay the cost. For corporate users, there is an advantage that using it for a short time can be cheaper than renting a car. However, in car sharing, a method is generally used in which a parking lot for parking a target vehicle is determined, used by a plurality of users when necessary, and then returned to the rented parking lot after use. Therefore, there is a problem that the convenience of the user is poor. Therefore, it is desired to improve the convenience of the user so that he / she can drop off at the destination. For example, a service is being considered in which a plurality of parking lots are secured, the user is notified of the vacant parking lot, and the user can return the parking lot to the vacant parking lot at the destination (see Patent Document 1). .. However, if there is no vacant parking lot near the destination, the user must prepare a means of transportation after returning the parking lot, which is still inconvenient. Therefore, further improvement in convenience is required.

On the other hand, for a service company that manages and provides target vehicles, when implementing a car sharing service in an urban area, the operating rate of the vehicle can be relatively high, but the parking fee becomes very high. There is. On the other hand, when a car sharing service is provided in the suburbs, the parking fee is low, but the operating rate of the vehicle is significantly reduced. Therefore, it is required to increase the operating rate.

The urban user terminal 106 is a communication terminal possessed by an urban user who uses the vehicle 110 in an urban area. Examples of urban users include corporations or corporate employees who set up offices in urban areas and develop businesses. There may be at least one urban user. Preferably, it is preferably used by a plurality of urban users. In the example of FIG. 1, two (two companies) urban users (1) and (2) are shown. In such a case, a plurality of urban user terminals 106a and 106b will communicate with the server device 100.

The driving agent terminal 104 is a communication terminal possessed by a person who can or can move a vehicle in an urban area. For example, it is a communication terminal owned by a driving agent who is a personal service provider who receives an order for moving a vehicle individually. The drive service agent includes a personal service provider having a house 103 in an urban area. The driving agency includes the case where a general driver runs a personal service provider as a side business. For example, a person called a freelancer (FL) is included. Alternatively, the driving agent may include an ordinary person who can drive a vehicle in an urban area during the daytime on weekdays.

The service server device 100 is an example of a delivery-type car-sharing support device that supports a delivery-type car-sharing service. The service server device 100 is arranged, for example, in a service operating organization (for example, a service operating company) that operates a delivery-type car sharing service. The service server device 100 may be arranged in an urban area or in a suburb. Alternatively, it may be located in a completely different country or region.

It is preferable that the number of vehicles 110 used for the car sharing service is the same as that of commuting users, for example. The service operating organization prepares a suburban parking lot P'in the suburbs desired by the commuting user and an urban parking lot P in a position available to the commuting user in the urban area. When a plurality of vehicles 110 are used, for example, a plurality of suburban parking lots P'with at least the same number of vehicles 110 and a plurality of urban parking lots P with at least the same number of vehicles 110 are prepared.

Here, as described above, in the conventional car sharing, a parking lot for parking the target vehicle is determined and placed, used by a plurality of users when necessary, and returned to the rented parking lot after use. Is common. Therefore, there is a problem that the convenience of the user is poor. Therefore, in the first embodiment, a configuration for increasing the operating rate will be described.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of the contents of the delivery type car sharing service according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 3, in the delivery-type car sharing service according to the first embodiment, the vehicle 110 is parked in the suburban parking lot P'at night. Then, the vehicle 110 is used by the commuting user during the morning commuting time zone (commuting), and the vehicle 110 is carried to the urban parking lot P by the commuting user. Then, during the daytime, the vehicle 110 is used based on the urban parking lot P. During the daytime, the vehicle 110 is used by soliciting usage reservations from urban users. At that time, the driving agent in the urban area transports the vehicle 110 to the place requested by the urban user and hands the vehicle 110 to the urban user. Upon receiving a contact from the server device 100, the driving agent, for example, travels to the urban parking lot P by bicycle, drives the vehicle 100 with the bicycle stored in the trunk of the vehicle 110, and the urban user The vehicle 110 is transported (delivered) to the desired location. Then, after handing over the vehicle 110 to the urban user, he / she moves out by the bicycle stored in the trunk. Then, the urban user drives the delivered vehicle 110 and moves to a desired place. After the movement, the vehicle 110 is picked up at the place requested by the urban user by the driving agent in the urban area. Upon receiving the contact from the server device 100, the driving agent, for example, moves to the pick-up location by bicycle, picks up the vehicle 110 from the urban user, and then stores the bicycle in the trunk of the vehicle 110. To transport the vehicle 110 from the server device 100 to the designated urban parking lot P. If there is a request from another urban user within the same day, it can be used as well if the vehicle 110 is vacant. Then, during the evening commuting time zone (leaving work: return trip), the vehicle 110 is used by the commuting user, and the vehicle 110 is carried from the urban parking lot P to the suburban parking lot P'by the commuting user. Then, at night, the vehicle 110 is parked in the suburban parking lot P'.

In this way, by renting the urban parking lot P only during the daytime, it is possible to effectively use the urban parking lot P as compared with the rent fee of the conventional parking lot rent that is rented all day. Further, since the vehicle 110 is delivered to the place requested by the urban user, the convenience of the user can be improved. Further, since the vehicle 110 can be abandoned at a place desired by the urban user, it is possible to further improve the convenience of the user. As a result, it is possible to improve the operating rate of the vehicle 110. Further, the restraint time of the substitute drive service agent can be limited to the substitute drive service period of the vehicle 110 and the work time of delivery and / or pick-up. As a result, labor can be reduced and the operating rate can be increased. As a result, it is possible to improve the profitability of the car sharing service.

In addition, on holidays, although the operating rate of the vehicle 110 decreases, as shown in FIG. 3, by encouraging holiday users to rent and return the vehicle at the suburban parking lot P', wasteful time during non-operation can be reduced. It is also suitable to reduce.

In the first embodiment, the delivery type car sharing support system 200 is used to support the delivery type car sharing service. Hereinafter, specific operations of each configuration of the delivery-type car sharing support system 200 will be described.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a part of an example of a main part process of the delivery type car sharing support method according to the first embodiment. FIG. 5 describes each step of the delivery-type car-sharing support method (delivery-type car-sharing control method) in the morning commuting time zone. Subsequent steps will be described later.

First, a contract is made in advance between at least one commuting user and a service operating organization that operates a delivery-type car sharing service regarding the use of the vehicle 110 during commuting hours. Further, the storage device 82 stores a vehicle information database (DB) in which vehicle information such as the number of at least one vehicle used for the car sharing service and vehicle type is searchably stored. Further, in the storage device 84, the positions and parking numbers of at least one urban parking lot P in the urban area and at least one suburban parking lot P'in the suburbs where the vehicle used for the car sharing service is parked. A parking lot information database (DB) in which parking lot information such as the above is searchably stored is stored. Further, the storage device 80 registers / stores a commuting information list in which commuting information contracted with at least one commuting user is defined. Further, when there is a reservation for the use of the vehicle 110 in the urban area on weekdays, the weekday reservation list is stored in the storage device 80. In addition, when a holiday user makes a reservation for using the holiday vehicle 110, a holiday reservation list in which the contents of the holiday reservation are defined is stored. At night, the vehicle 110 is parked in the suburban parking lot P'.

In FIG. 5, as a commuting schedule information output process, on the day of the commuting user's commuting user terminal 102 (suburban user terminal), the commuting user's today's commuting schedule information (usage schedule information) is transmitted to the service server via a communication line. Output to device 100. Depending on the day, the time of arrival may change due to circumstances. Therefore, for example, the commuting schedule information of the day is output from the commuting user terminal 102 every day. The commuting schedule information includes, for example, the user ID of the commuting user, the vehicle number of the vehicle 110 to be car-shared, the usage time, the location of the suburban parking lot, and the location of the urban parking lot. For example, the usage time is defined as 7:00 to 8:00, the location of the suburban parking lot is P1', and the location of the urban parking lot is P1. Specifically, a commuting user downloads and installs an application (application software) supplied from a service operating organization on his / her own commuting user terminal 102, and is defined by his / her own commuting information displayed on the application. If there is no change in the usage time of the vehicle 110, the location of the suburban parking lot, the location of the urban parking lot, etc., click the confirmation frame "OK". If, for example, the usage time is changed, the usage time of the vehicle 110 defined in the commuting information is changed and "OK" is clicked. For example, the usage time is changed from 7:00 to 8:30 and fixed. As a result, the commuting schedule information of the day confirmed on the application is output to the service server device 100 via the communication line. Alternatively, the commuter user terminal 102 may be used to access a site launched by a service operating organization that can be accessed via the Internet, and perform the same operation.

In FIG. 5, as a commuting schedule information receiving process, the commuting schedule (change) information receiving unit 52 (scheduled information receiving unit) in the service server device 100 is located in the suburban parking lot P'located in the suburbs where the vehicle 110 is parked at night. To the commuting user terminal 102 (use schedule information) of the commuting user (suburban user) who moves the vehicle 110 to the urban parking lot P located in the urban area where the vehicle 110 is parked during the daytime. Receive from a suburban user terminal) via a communication line. Specifically, the commuting schedule (change) information receiving unit 52 receives the commuting schedule information from the commuting user terminal 102 via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line.

As a pass / fail determination step, the pass / fail determination unit 54 determines whether or not the content defined in the received commuting schedule information on the day is received. Specifically, the pass / fail determination unit 54 registers the usage time of the vehicle 110 and the location of the urban parking lot defined in the received commuting schedule information on the day in the commuting information list stored in the storage device 80. It is determined whether or not the information matches the information of the commuting user. If they match, it is determined that the schedule contents are acceptable, and the information is stored in the storage device 80 as the commuting schedule information of the day. For example, it is stored in the storage device 80 as commuting schedule information 1. On the other hand, when the arrival time at the urban parking lot, which is the end of the usage time, is changed from 8:00 to 8:30, the approval / disapproval determination unit 54 refers to the weekday reservation list stored in the storage device 80. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the reservation time is affected, and if it affects the reservation time, it is determined that the scheduled content is not possible. Whether or not the reservation time is not affected is determined in consideration of the reservation start time and the delivery time at which the vehicle 110 can be moved from the urban parking lot and delivered at the delivery place. If the arrival time at the urban parking lot is 8:30, for example, if the reservation start time is 9:00 and the delivery time is 20 minutes, it is determined that the scheduled content is acceptable. On the other hand, for example, if the reservation start time is 8:50 and the delivery time is 30 minutes, it is determined that the scheduled content is not possible.

As a pass / fail judgment information output process, the pass / fail judgment information output unit 55 outputs the pass / fail judgment information to the commuting user terminal 102 via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line. If the approval / disapproval judgment result is acceptable, information such as a comment indicating that it is acceptable is output. On the other hand, if the result of the approval / disapproval determination is no, a comment is output to urge the commuting user to be in time for the original usage time of the commuting user registered in the commuting information list.

As an unlocking information output process, on the day of the operation, the commuting user terminal 102 (suburban user terminal) outputs the unlocking information for unlocking the door of the vehicle 110 to the service server device 100 via the communication line. Specifically, the commuter user selects, for example, "unlock" from the screen of the application supplied from the service operating organization, and clicks "OK". As a result, the unlocking information confirmed on the application is output to the service server device 100 via the communication line.

As an unlocking step, the unlocking / locking information receiving unit 72 receives the unlocking information from the commuting user terminal 102 via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line. Next, the command processing unit 73 creates an unlock command for the vehicle 110 used by the commuter user of the commuter user terminal 102.

Alternatively, the urban user terminal 106 may be used to access a site launched by a service operating organization that can be accessed via the Internet, and perform the same operation.

As a provisional reservation availability determination process, the approval / disapproval determination unit 59 determines whether or not the content defined in the received reservation information is acceptable. Specifically, the pass / fail determination unit 59 refers to the weekday reservation list stored in the storage device 80, and refers to the day to be used, the time of use, the delivery place of the vehicle, and the vehicle defined in the received reservation information. It is determined whether or not a vehicle 110 suitable for the pick-up location can be secured. Depending on the delivery location of the vehicle, it may take a long time to deliver the target vehicle 110 from the urban parking lot P. Similarly, depending on the pick-up location, it may take a long time to move the target vehicle 110 to the urban parking lot P. Therefore, it is preferable that the pass / fail determination unit 59 determines the pass / fail in consideration of the travel time required. For example, if a tentative reservation from 9:00 to 10:00 and a tentative reservation from 12:00 to 14:00 already exist in the weekday reservation list, the usage time zone defined in the reservation information is from 09:30. If it is 13:00, it is judged as no because the usage time zones overlap. Further, if the usage time zone defined in the reservation information is from 10:00 to 12:00, the delivery time cannot be secured, so it is determined to be negative. Further, if the usage time zone defined in the reservation information is from 10:30 to 11:30 and the delivery time and the collection time can be secured, it is judged to be acceptable.

As a pass / fail judgment information output process, the pass / fail judgment information output unit 60 outputs the pass / fail judgment information to the urban user terminal 106 via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line. If the approval / disapproval judgment result is acceptable, information such as a comment indicating that it is acceptable is output. On the other hand, if the result of the pass / fail judgment is no, a comment is output to display the no result and the available time zone and urge the urban user to change the use time.

As a reservation list creation process, the reservation information processing unit 62 registers reservation information. Specifically, it operates as follows. When it is determined that the provisional reservation is possible, the reservation list creation unit 81 additionally registers the contents defined in the reservation information in the weekday reservation list of the day and stores it in the storage device 80. In the reservation list, for example, the date of use, the time of use, the name of the urban user, contact information, the place of delivery of the vehicle, the place of pick-up of the vehicle, the vehicle number, the identifier of the city parking lot for delivery, the driving agency for delivery, etc. The person name (or identification ID), the identifier of the city parking lot for pick-up, the name of the driving agent for pick-up (or identification ID), whether or not the delivery matching is possible, whether or not the delivery is executed, whether or not the pick-up matching is possible, and whether or not the pick-up is executed are defined. .. At the time of registering the reservation information, information other than the date of use, time of use, name of urban user, contact information, vehicle delivery location, and vehicle pick-up location is blank or unconfirmed. An identifier indicating the above may be defined. In addition, the reservation list includes the end time of use of the commuter user registered in the commuting information list stored in the storage device 80, the vehicle number used at work, the urban parking lot used at work, and leaving work. The start time for commuting, the vehicle number for commuting, and the urban parking lot for commuting are defined.

Specifically, the urban use determination unit 61 refers to the commuting information list stored in the storage device 80 and the commuting schedule information, and refers to the city of the vehicle 110 that is moved to the urban parking lot P by a user living in the suburbs. Determine the available time zone in the department. For example, although the commuting information list defines that the arrival time at the urban parking lot, which is the end of the usage time, is 8:00, the commuting schedule information 1 on the day is later than the time on the commuting information list. If it is defined as 8:30, the available start time of the vehicle 110 on the day in the urban area is determined to be 8:30. Further, if the commuting schedule information 1 of the day is defined as 7:30, which is earlier than the time of the commuting information list, the available start time of the vehicle 110 on the day in the urban area is determined to be 7:30. .. The determination result is output to the reservation list creation unit 81, and the reservation list creation unit 81 rewrites the information of the weekday reservation list.

As a vehicle identification process, the vehicle / parking lot identification unit 63 (vehicle identification unit) stops at the urban parking lot P in the usage time zone defined in the reservation information based on the determined available time zone information. Identify the vehicle 110 (including the vehicle number). Further, the vehicle / parking lot identification unit 63 (vehicle identification unit) is stationed in an urban area where the vehicle 110 that can be used in the usage time zone defined in the reservation information stops based on the determined available time zone information. The position (or identifier) of the parking lot P is specified. The specific result is output to the reservation list creation unit 81, and the reservation list creation unit 81 rewrites the information of the weekday reservation list.

As a proxy recruitment information creation process, the proxy recruitment information creation unit 65 moves the specified vehicle 110 from the urban parking lot P to the delivery location defined in the reservation information, and recruits a delivery driving agent who delivers the vehicle 110.

For example, it is preferable to select registered mail, transfer, or point addition (registration) that can be exchanged for cash or that can be paid at the time of purchase of something (goods or services).

As a proxy recruitment response analysis process, the proxy recruitment response analysis unit 82 analyzes the pick-up proxy recruitment response information. For example, information such as acceptance / non-acceptance, the name (or identification ID) of the driving agent himself, and the telephone number and / or e-mail address of the driving agent terminal 104 is analyzed. The analysis result is output to the matching processing unit 88.

As a matching processing process, the matching processing unit 88 matches the urban user, the driving agent, and the vehicle 110 with respect to the vehicle use in the urban area. Specifically, it operates as follows. The matching unit 68 determines that the matching of vehicle pick-up in the urban area is established when the information indicating that the pick-up operation agency is accepted is defined in the pick-up agency recruitment response information. On the other hand, if there is no response to the effect that acceptance is made by the start time of the substitute work time zone on the day, it is determined that matching is not established.

As a matching result information creation process, when the matching is established as a matching result, the matching result information creation unit 69 provides the urban user name, pick-up matching availability, use date, use time zone, and vehicle pick-up time for the urban user. , Vehicle pick-up location, vehicle number, and pick-up information for urban users in which the name (or identification ID) of the driving agent for pick-up is defined. Similarly, for the drive service agent, the name (or identification ID) of the drive service agent for pick-up, whether or not the pick-up matching is possible, the substitute date, the substitute work time zone, the position of the urban parking lot P, the vehicle number, the pick-up location, and the urban area. Create take-back information for the driving agent with the user name and reward amount defined. When the matching result is unsuccessful, the matching result information creation unit 69 defines the urban user name, the pick-up matching availability, and the location of the designated parking lot near the pick-up location for the urban user. Create pick-up information for customers. The vacant parking lot closest to the pick-up location is selected from the plurality of urban parking lots P prepared in advance.

As a matching result information output process, the matching result information output unit 83 outputs the take-back information for urban users as the matching result to the urban user terminal 106 corresponding to the reservation information via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line. To do. Similarly, the matching result information output unit 83 outputs the take-back information for the driving agent as the matching result to the driving agent terminal 104 via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line.

The driving agent receives the pick-up information for the driving agent at the driving agent terminal 104, and then goes to the designated pick-up place by bicycle, on foot, or by public transportation within the agency work time zone. Then, when the urban user arrives at the pick-up location, the driving agent picks up the target vehicle 110 from the urban user. Then, the driving agent loads the bicycle in the trunk and moves the vehicle 110 to the designated urban parking lot.

If the pick-up matching is not established, the urban user will be asked to move the vehicle 110 to the parking lot defined in the pick-up information. Then, the vehicle 110 can be abandoned at such a parking lot.

When the driving agent drives the target vehicle 110 on behalf of the vehicle and arrives at the designated urban parking lot P as the destination, the driving agent stops the engine, gets off the vehicle 110, and takes out the bicycle from the trunk.

As a locking process, the unlocking / locking information receiving unit 72 receives the locking information from the driving agent terminal 104 via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line. Next, the command processing unit 73 creates a lock command for the vehicle 110. Then, the unlock / lock command output unit 74 outputs the lock command to the vehicle-mounted device 112 of the vehicle 110 via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line. The on-board unit 112 receives the lock command and operates a control circuit (not shown) of the vehicle 110 to lock the door of the vehicle 110. Further, the unlocking information from the driving agent terminal 104 is output to the execution determination unit 71.

If the take-back matching is not established, the locking information is output from the urban user terminal 106 to the service server device 100 via the communication line. Then, the unlocking / locking information receiving unit 72 receives the locking information, and the command processing unit 73 creates a locking command for the vehicle 110. Then, the unlock / lock command output unit 74 outputs the lock command to the vehicle-mounted device 112 of the vehicle 110 via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line. The on-board unit 112 receives the lock command and operates a control circuit (not shown) of the vehicle 110 to lock the door of the vehicle 110.

As an execution determination step, the execution determination unit 71 inputs the take-back execution completion information, and based on the take-back execution completion information, the take-back of the vehicle 110 from the urban user is executed and the vehicle 110 by the driving agent. Determine that the move to the urban parking lot has been performed. Specifically, for example, the locking information for the driving agent to lock the vehicle 110 is used as the pick-up execution completion information. In other words, when the lock information from the driving agent terminal 104 is received, the execution determination unit 71 has executed the pick-up of the vehicle 110 from the urban user and the driving agent parks the vehicle 110 in the urban area. Determine that the move to the parking lot has been performed. Then, the take-back execution determination result is output to the reservation list creation unit 81, and the reservation list creation unit 81 rewrites the information of the weekday reservation list. In other words, the item of whether or not to take over the weekday reservation list is rewritten as, for example, "Yes" or "Complete".

Here, it is preferable that the driving agent confirms that the target vehicle 110 is not scratched or the like when the target vehicle 110 is picked up from the urban user. If there are any scratches, etc., after picking up the target vehicle 110 from the urban user, first stop at the service station and repair it. After that, it is preferable to return to the urban parking lot. Further, it is preferable that the driving agent confirms whether or not the power source (for example, gasoline) of the target vehicle 110 is insufficient when the target vehicle 110 is picked up from the urban user. When the power source (for example, gasoline) is insufficient, after picking up the target vehicle 110 from the urban user, first, the service station is stopped to replenish the power source. After that, it is preferable to return to the urban parking lot.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing another part of an example of the main steps of the delivery type car sharing support method according to the first embodiment. FIG. 8 describes each process of the delivery-type car sharing support method during the evening commuting time.

In FIG. 8, as a return schedule information creation process, the return schedule information creation unit 86 creates today's return commuting schedule information (return schedule information) of the commuting user. The return schedule information includes, for example, the user ID of the commuting user, the vehicle number of the vehicle 110 to be car-shared, the usage time, the location of the suburban parking lot, and the location of the urban parking lot. Depending on the day, the return time to the urban parking lot may be delayed due to an unexpected change in the usage content by the urban user during the day. In addition, the urban parking lots returned may differ due to unexpected changes in usage by urban users during the day. Therefore, we will create return schedule information that defines the latest information about the start time of use on the day and the location of the urban parking lot.

As a return schedule information output process, the return schedule information output unit 87 outputs the return schedule information of the day to the commuting user terminal 102 via the communication control circuit 50 and the communication line.

The commuting user refers to the return schedule information received by the commuting user terminal 102 and goes to the designated city parking lot.

Then, the commuter user gets into the unlocked vehicle 110, starts the engine, and starts using the vehicle 110. Here, the commuting user moves the vehicle 110 from the urban parking lot P to the suburban parking lot P'as a means of commuting. For example, the engine may be started by pressing the engine start button in the vehicle 110. Also, when stopping, the engine may be stopped by pressing the stop button.

As a locking information output process, when the commuter user arrives at the suburban parking lot P', which is the destination of the day, the commuter user stops the engine and when the vehicle 110 gets off, the commuter user terminal 102 (suburban user terminal) The locking information for locking the door of the vehicle 110 is output to the service server device 100 via the communication line. Specifically, the commuter user selects, for example, "lock" from the screen of the application supplied from the service operating organization, and clicks "OK". As a result, the locking information confirmed on the application is output to the service server device 100 via the communication line.

As described above, the vehicle 110 is moved from the urban parking lot P to the suburban parking lot P'on weekdays, for example, in the evening, and the vehicle 110 is parked in the suburban parking lot P'at night.

In addition, on holidays, if there is no commuting by commuting users, it is unlikely that commercial use by urban users during the day will occur. Therefore, on holidays, reservations for use by holiday users are accepted. In such a case, the reservation (change) information receiving unit 58 receives the reservation information from the holiday user terminal 108 of the holiday user. Then, the reservation list creation unit 81 registers in the holiday reservation list. Since the holiday user departs from the suburban parking lot P'parked at night and returns it to the same suburban parking lot P', no driving agent is required. Therefore, the matching process is also unnecessary.

In the service server device 100, when the driving agent stops at the service station for repair or refueling of the vehicle 110 after picking up the vehicle 110, the driving agent terminal 104 receives a notification to that effect, and the service station terminal 109 is notified of the vehicle 110. It is preferable to output information on repair or refueling. As a result, at the service station, the vehicle 110 can be prepared for repair or refueling, and the work can be performed in a short time. As a result, the influence on the next reservation during the day can be reduced.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to further improve the convenience of the user in the car sharing service. In addition, the utilization rate of car sharing services can be further increased.

The embodiment has been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these specific examples. For example, in the above example, an unlock command (or lock command) is issued from the service server device 100 based on the unlock information (or lock information) from the commuter user terminal 102, the driver agent terminal 104, or the urban user terminal 106. Has been described, and the case where the vehicle-mounted device 112 operates a control circuit (not shown) of the vehicle 110 to unlock (or lock) the door of the vehicle 110 is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the commuter user terminal 102, the driving agent terminal 104, or the urban user terminal 106 uses the application to operate a control circuit (not shown) of the vehicle 110 to unlock (or lock) the door of the vehicle 110, and as a result. It is also preferable that the vehicle-mounted device 112 outputs the above to the service server device 100.

Although the description of parts that are not directly necessary for the description of the present invention, such as the device configuration and control method, is omitted, the required device configuration and control method can be appropriately selected and used.

In addition, all delivery-type car-sharing support devices and delivery-type car-sharing support methods that have the elements of the present invention and can be appropriately redesigned by those skilled in the art are included in the scope of the present invention.
