　＜制御装置＞
　車両１の制御装置について説明する。図４は車両１の制御装置のブロック図であり、本実施形態の特徴を説明する上で必要な構成のみを図示している。制御装置は、電源２５、通信ユニット４０、主制御ユニット３０を含む。電源２５は車両１の主電源であり、例えば、１２Ｖの鉛蓄電池である。主制御ユニット３０は、車両１を統括的に制御する最上位のＥＣＵ（電子制御ユニット）である。 <Control device>
The control device of the vehicle 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the control device of the vehicle 1, and shows only the configuration necessary for explaining the features of the present embodiment. The control device includes a power supply 25, a communication unit 40, and a main control unit 30. The power source 25 is the main power source of the vehicle 1, for example, a 12 V lead storage battery. The main control unit 30 is a top-level ECU (electronic control unit) that controls the vehicle 1 in an integrated manner.
　主制御ユニット３０は、処理部３１と、ＲＡＭ、ＲＯＭ等の記憶部３２と、外部デバイスと処理部３１との信号の送受信を中継するインタフェース部３３と、通信回路３４とを含む。処理部３１は、ＣＰＵに代表されるプロセッサであり、記憶部３２に記憶されたプログラムを実行する。通信回路３４は、携帯キー３５と近距離無線通信を行う回路である。携帯キー３５は、車両１のオーナが所有する無線通信装置である。主制御ユニット３０は、携帯キー３５との無線相互認証が成立したことを条件としてエンジンの始動を許可する。本実施形態のように複数のユーザ１１１に車両１が貸し出される形態においては、貸し出しの度に携帯キー３５をユーザ１１１に貸与してもよいが、例えば、収納ボックス２４或いは荷室９ａに収納したままとしてもよい。その際、携帯キー３５が荷室９ａ等から取出困難な構造的な方策を施してもよい。 The main control unit 30 includes a processing unit 31, a storage unit 32 such as RAM and ROM, an interface unit 33 that relays transmission and reception of signals between an external device and the processing unit 31, and a communication circuit 34. The processing unit 31 is a processor typified by a CPU, and executes a program stored in the storage unit 32. The communication circuit 34 is a circuit that performs short-range wireless communication with the mobile key 35. The mobile key 35 is a wireless communication device owned by the owner of the vehicle 1. The main control unit 30 permits the engine to start on the condition that wireless mutual authentication with the mobile key 35 is established. In a mode in which the vehicle 1 is rented to a plurality of users 111 as in the present embodiment, the mobile key 35 may be lent to the user 111 each time the vehicle 1 is rented. For example, the mobile key 35 is stored in the storage box 24 or the luggage compartment 9a. You can leave it as it is. At that time, a structural measure may be taken in which the mobile key 35 is difficult to remove from the luggage compartment 9a or the like.
　主制御ユニット３０には、ダイヤルスイッチ２１、スタータスイッチ２ｅ、ＦＩ－ＥＣＵ３６、シートロック装置３７及びダイヤルロック装置３８が電気的に接続されている。ＦＩ－ＥＣＵ３６はパワーユニット１６のエンジンの燃料噴射制御及び点火制御を行う電子制御ユニットである。シートロック装置３７は、シート９を閉位置にロックする装置であり、例えば、シート９をロックする係合機構と、係合機構のロック及びロック解除の動作を駆動する電磁ソレノイド等のアクチュエータとを含む。 A dial switch 21, a starter switch 2e, an FI-ECU 36, a seat lock device 37, and a dial lock device 38 are electrically connected to the main control unit 30. The FI-ECU 36 is an electronic control unit that controls fuel injection and ignition of the engine of the power unit 16. The seat lock device 37 is a device that locks the seat 9 in a closed position. For example, an engaging mechanism that locks the seat 9 and an actuator such as an electromagnetic solenoid that drives the locking and unlocking operations of the engaging mechanism. include.
　ダイヤルスイッチ２１は、回転可能に設けられた操作子２２と、操作子２２の回転位置を検知する検知回路２３と、を含み、車両１のメインスイッチとして機能する。本実施形態の場合、操作子２２は「ＯＮ」、「ＳＥＡＴ」、「ＯＦＦ」、「ＬＯＣＫ」の４つの位置の選択操作が可能に設けられている。検知回路２３は、例えば、操作子２２の各位置毎の電気接点を有するスイッチ回路であり、その検知信号は主制御ユニット３０に入力される。 The dial switch 21 includes a rotatably provided operator 22 and a detection circuit 23 for detecting the rotational position of the operator 22, and functions as a main switch of the vehicle 1. In the case of the present embodiment, the operator 22 is provided so that the operator 22 can select the four positions of "ON", "SEAT", "OFF", and "LOCK". The detection circuit 23 is, for example, a switch circuit having electrical contacts for each position of the operator 22, and the detection signal is input to the main control unit 30.
　「ＯＮ」は、パワーユニット１６のエンジンの始動が可能となる位置であり、また、車両１の灯火器等に電源２５の電力が供給される位置である。主制御ユニット３０は、操作子２２の位置が「ＯＮ」で、かつ、スタータスイッチ２ｅに対する操作を検知すると、携帯キー３５と無線相互認証を行う。そして、無線相互認証が成立するとＦＩ－ＥＣＵ３６にエンジンの始動許可を通知し、エンジンが始動される。 "ON" is a position where the engine of the power unit 16 can be started, and a position where the electric power of the power source 25 is supplied to the lamp or the like of the vehicle 1. When the position of the operator 22 is "ON" and the main control unit 30 detects an operation on the starter switch 2e, the main control unit 30 performs wireless mutual authentication with the mobile key 35. Then, when the wireless mutual authentication is established, the FI-ECU 36 is notified of the engine start permission, and the engine is started.
　「ＳＥＡＴ」は、シート９の開放操作が可能となる位置である。主制御ユニット３０は、操作子２２の位置が「ＳＥＡＴ」の位置である場合、シートロック装置３７を制御してシート９のロックを解除する。なお、操作子２２とシートロック装置３７はワイヤーケーブル等の部材で接続され、機械的にシート９のロックが解除される構造であってもよい。 "SEAT" is a position where the seat 9 can be opened. When the position of the operator 22 is the "SEAT" position, the main control unit 30 controls the seat lock device 37 to unlock the seat 9. The operator 22 and the seat lock device 37 may be connected by a member such as a wire cable to mechanically unlock the seat 9.
　「ＯＦＦ」は、駆動中のエンジンを停止させ、また、車両１の灯火器等に対する電源２５の電力の供給を遮断する位置である。 "OFF" is a position where the driving engine is stopped and the power supply of the power source 25 to the lighting device of the vehicle 1 is cut off.
　「ＬＯＣＫ」は、操向ハンドル２の位置をロックする位置である。図５は操作子２２、ハンドルロック機構３９、ダイヤルロック装置３８の構造を示す模式図である。操作子２２は軸部２２ａを有し、その中心軸線ＡＸ回りに回転可能に支持されている。軸部２２ａには、その回転に連動するハンドルロック機構３９が連結されている。 "LOCK" is a position to lock the position of the steering handle 2. FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing the structures of the operator 22, the handle lock mechanism 39, and the dial lock device 38. The operator 22 has a shaft portion 22a and is rotatably supported around the central axis AX thereof. A handle lock mechanism 39 linked to the rotation of the shaft portion 22a is connected to the shaft portion 22a.
　ハンドルロック機構３９は軸部２２ａの回転に連動して進退するピン３９ａを有する。ステアリングステム１３には、ピン３９ａと係合する係合孔１３ａが形成されている。操向ハンドル２を左旋回方向に最大限切った場合、係合孔１３ａとピン３９ａとが対向するようにハンドルロック機構３９が配置されている。この状態において、操作子２２が「ＬＯＣＫ」位置に回転可能になり、かつ、操作子２２が「ＬＯＣＫ」位置に位置すると、ピン３９ａが係合孔１３ａに進入して係合状態となる。これにより操向ハンドル２がロック状態となる。操作子２２を「ＬＯＣＫ」以外の位置に回転すると、ピン３９ａが係合孔１３ａから離脱して非係合状態となる。これにより操向ハンドル２がロック解除状態となる。 The handle lock mechanism 39 has a pin 39a that moves forward and backward in conjunction with the rotation of the shaft portion 22a. The steering stem 13 is formed with an engaging hole 13a that engages with the pin 39a. When the steering handle 2 is turned to the maximum in the left turning direction, the handle lock mechanism 39 is arranged so that the engagement hole 13a and the pin 39a face each other. In this state, when the operator 22 can rotate to the "LOCK" position and the operator 22 is located at the "LOCK" position, the pin 39a enters the engagement hole 13a and enters the engagement state. As a result, the steering handle 2 is locked. When the operator 22 is rotated to a position other than "LOCK", the pin 39a is disengaged from the engaging hole 13a and becomes unengaged. As a result, the steering handle 2 is unlocked.
　本実施形態の場合、ハンドルロック機構３９は、操作子２２の回転に機械的に連動する機構としたが、操作子２２の回転に電子的に連動する機構（例えば電磁ソレノイド等のアクチュエータによりピン３９ａを進退させる機構）であってもよい。 In the case of the present embodiment, the handle lock mechanism 39 is a mechanism that is mechanically interlocked with the rotation of the operator 22, but a mechanism that is electronically interlocked with the rotation of the operator 22 (for example, a pin 39a by an actuator such as an electromagnetic solenoid). It may be a mechanism for advancing and retreating.
　ダイヤルロック装置３８は、操作子２２に対するロック状態からロック解除状態への切替操作を規制する装置である。ダイヤルロック装置３８は、アクチュエータ３８ａと、リターンスプリング３８ｂとを有し、ピン３８ｃを進退させる装置である。軸部２２ａには、軸線ＡＸと交差する方向に貫通した係合孔２２ｂが形成されている。 The dial lock device 38 is a device that regulates the switching operation of the operator 22 from the locked state to the unlocked state. The dial lock device 38 has an actuator 38a and a return spring 38b, and is a device for advancing and retreating the pin 38c. The shaft portion 22a is formed with an engaging hole 22b penetrating in a direction intersecting the axis line AX.
　本実施形態の場合、アクチュエータ３８ａはプルソレノイドであり、そのプランジャにピン３８ｃが設けられている。アクチュエータ３８ａはその駆動時（通電時）にピン３８ｃを、図５において実線で示す非係合位置に付勢する。リターンスプリング３８ｂは常時ピン３８ｃを、図５において破線で示す係合位置に付勢する。操作子２２が「ＬＯＣＫ」位置に位置している場合、係合孔２２ｂとピン３８ｃとが対向するようにダイヤルロック装置３８が配置されている。したがって、操作子２２が「ＬＯＣＫ」位置に位置している場合のみ、ピン３８ｃは係合孔２２ｂに進入可能となる。ピン３８ｃが係合孔２２ｂに進入すると両者は係合状態となり、操作子２２の回転操作が規制される。ピン３８ｃが係合孔２２ｂから離脱すると両者は非係合状態となり、操作子２２の回転操作の規制が解除される。 In the case of this embodiment, the actuator 38a is a pull solenoid, and the plunger is provided with a pin 38c. The actuator 38a urges the pin 38c to the non-engaged position shown by the solid line in FIG. 5 when it is driven (when energized). The return spring 38b constantly urges the pin 38c to the engagement position shown by the broken line in FIG. When the operator 22 is located in the "LOCK" position, the dial lock device 38 is arranged so that the engagement hole 22b and the pin 38c face each other. Therefore, the pin 38c can enter the engagement hole 22b only when the operator 22 is located at the “LOCK” position. When the pin 38c enters the engagement hole 22b, the two are engaged with each other, and the rotation operation of the operator 22 is restricted. When the pin 38c is disengaged from the engaging hole 22b, both are in a disengaged state, and the restriction on the rotation operation of the operator 22 is released.
　アクチュエータ３８ａには、主制御ユニット３０を介して駆動電力が供給される。本実施形態の場合、主制御ユニット３０は、主制御ユニット３０に対して電源２５から電力が供給されている間、アクチュエータ３８ａに電力を供給してこれを駆動する。したがって、主制御ユニット３０に対して電源２５から電力が供給されている間、ダイヤルロック装置３８による、操作子２２の回転操作の規制は働かない。主制御ユニット３０に対して電源２５から電力が供給されていない場合、アクチュエータ３８ａは駆動されず、ピン３８ｃはリターンスプリング３８ｂによって係合位置に付勢される。したがって、主制御ユニット３０に対して電源２５から電力が供給されていない場合、一度ピン３８ｃが係合孔２２ｂに進入すると、主制御ユニット３０に対して電源２５から電力が供給されるまで、操作子２２の回転操作が規制される。 Drive power is supplied to the actuator 38a via the main control unit 30. In the case of the present embodiment, the main control unit 30 supplies electric power to the actuator 38a to drive the main control unit 30 while the electric power is supplied from the power source 25 to the main control unit 30. Therefore, while the power supply 25 is supplying power to the main control unit 30, the dial lock device 38 does not regulate the rotation operation of the operator 22. When power is not supplied from the power source 25 to the main control unit 30, the actuator 38a is not driven and the pin 38c is urged to the engaging position by the return spring 38b. Therefore, when power is not supplied from the power supply 25 to the main control unit 30, once the pin 38c enters the engagement hole 22b, the operation is performed until power is supplied from the power supply 25 to the main control unit 30. The rotation operation of the child 22 is restricted.
　図４に戻って通信ユニット４０について説明する。通信ユニット４０はユーザ端末１１２との通信により、シェアリングサービスに関する処理を行うＥＣＵ（電子制御ユニット）である。本実施形態の通信ユニット４０は、主制御ユニット３０に対する電源２５からの電力の供給と遮断とを切り替えることにより、車両１の利用の許否を制御する。 Returning to FIG. 4, the communication unit 40 will be described. The communication unit 40 is an ECU (electronic control unit) that performs processing related to the sharing service by communicating with the user terminal 112. The communication unit 40 of the present embodiment controls the permission or disapproval of the use of the vehicle 1 by switching between supplying and shutting off the electric power from the power source 25 to the main control unit 30.
　通信ユニット４０は、処理部４１と、ＲＡＭ、ＲＯＭ等の記憶部４２と、外部デバイスと処理部４１との信号の送受信を中継するインタフェース部４３と、通信回路４４と、切替回路４５と、を含む。処理部４１は、ＣＰＵに代表されるプロセッサであり、記憶部４２に記憶されたプログラムを実行する。通信回路４４は、ユーザ端末１１２と近距離無線通信を行う回路である。通信ユニット４０は、ダイヤルスイッチ２１の検知回路２３と電気的に接続されており、処理部４１は検知回路２３の検知結果である操作子２２の位置の情報を取得可能である。 The communication unit 40 includes a processing unit 41, a storage unit 42 such as RAM and ROM, an interface unit 43 that relays transmission and reception of signals between an external device and the processing unit 41, a communication circuit 44, and a switching circuit 45. include. The processing unit 41 is a processor typified by a CPU, and executes a program stored in the storage unit 42. The communication circuit 44 is a circuit that performs short-range wireless communication with the user terminal 112. The communication unit 40 is electrically connected to the detection circuit 23 of the dial switch 21, and the processing unit 41 can acquire information on the position of the operator 22 which is the detection result of the detection circuit 23.
　切替回路４５は、リレー或いは半導体素子等の回路であり、電源２５と主制御ユニット３０との電気接続を断続する。これにより、切替回路４５は主制御ユニット３０の動作の遮断状態と、動作可能状態とを切り替える。通信ユニット４０には、電源２５から常時電力が供給される。一方、主制御ユニット３０には切替回路４５を介して電源２５から電力が供給されるため、通信ユニット４０は、車両１の貸出に関する認証が成立しない場合や貸出が終了した場合は、主制御ユニット３０に対する電力の供給を遮断してその利用を規制する一方、認証が成立した場合は主制御ユニット３０に対して電力を供給してその利用を許可することができる。 The switching circuit 45 is a circuit such as a relay or a semiconductor element, and interrupts the electrical connection between the power supply 25 and the main control unit 30. As a result, the switching circuit 45 switches between the shutoff state of the operation of the main control unit 30 and the operable state. Electric power is constantly supplied to the communication unit 40 from the power supply 25. On the other hand, since the main control unit 30 is supplied with electric power from the power supply 25 via the switching circuit 45, the communication unit 40 is the main control unit when the authentication regarding the rental of the vehicle 1 is not established or when the rental is completed. While the supply of electric power to the 30 is restricted and its use is restricted, if the certification is established, the main control unit 30 can be supplied with electric power and its use can be permitted.
　本実施形態では、通信ユニット４０が電源２５と主制御ユニット３０との間に介在する構造を採用したことで、通信ユニット４０を持たない既存の鞍乗型車両を車両１に転用することを容易に行うことができる。つまり、既存の鞍乗型車両の制御ユニットと電源との配線に通信ユニット４０を割り込ませ、また、検知回路２３と通信ユニット４０とを電気的に接続すれば、車両１と同様の機能を持たせることができる。 In the present embodiment, by adopting a structure in which the communication unit 40 is interposed between the power supply 25 and the main control unit 30, it is easy to convert an existing saddle-type vehicle that does not have the communication unit 40 into the vehicle 1. Can be done. That is, if the communication unit 40 is interrupted in the wiring between the control unit and the power supply of the existing saddle-type vehicle, and if the detection circuit 23 and the communication unit 40 are electrically connected, the function is the same as that of the vehicle 1. Can be made.
　＜処理例＞
　システム１００で実行させる処理例について図６及び図７を参照して説明する。図６は車両１の貸出開始時におけるサーバ１０１、ユーザ端末１１２、通信ユニット４０の各処理例を示している。図７は車両１の貸出終了時におけるサーバ１０１、ユーザ端末１１２、通信ユニット４０の各処理例を示している。なお、通信ユニット４０の処理部４１が実行するプログラムを通信ユニット４０の記憶部４２にインストールするための態様として、当該プログラムをＣＤ－ＲＯＭ等の記憶媒体に記憶して頒布する態様も採用可能である。 <Processing example>
An example of processing executed by the system 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 shows an example of each processing of the server 101, the user terminal 112, and the communication unit 40 at the start of renting the vehicle 1. FIG. 7 shows an example of each processing of the server 101, the user terminal 112, and the communication unit 40 at the end of renting the vehicle 1. As a mode for installing a program executed by the processing unit 41 of the communication unit 40 in the storage unit 42 of the communication unit 40, a mode in which the program is stored in a storage medium such as a CD-ROM and distributed can also be adopted. be.
　まず、図６を参照して貸出開始時の処理例について説明する。車両１の貸出を希望するユーザ１１１は、ユーザ端末１１２においてシェアリングサービスの提供を受けるためのアプリケーションプログラムを起動する。アプリケーションプログラムは、例えば、サーバ１０１から事前にダウンロードされ、ユーザ端末１１２にインストールされる。 First, an example of processing at the start of lending will be described with reference to FIG. The user 111 who wishes to rent the vehicle 1 activates an application program for receiving the provision of the sharing service on the user terminal 112. The application program is, for example, pre-downloaded from the server 101 and installed on the user terminal 112.
　ユーザ１１１は、車両１の貸出を予約する。具体的には、ユーザ端末１１２によりサーバ１０１にアクセスし、ユーザ端末１１２、サーバ１０１においてそれぞれ予約処理が実行される（Ｓ１１、Ｓ１）。サーバ１０１はユーザ端末１１２に対して利用可能な車両１の情報を送信する。ユーザ端末１１２には予約設定画面が表示され、車両１の利用時間、利用地域、料金プラン等の入力が受付可能となる。 User 111 reserves the rental of vehicle 1. Specifically, the user terminal 112 accesses the server 101, and the user terminal 112 and the server 101 execute the reservation process, respectively (S11, S1). The server 101 transmits information on the available vehicle 1 to the user terminal 112. A reservation setting screen is displayed on the user terminal 112, and input such as the usage time, usage area, and rate plan of the vehicle 1 can be accepted.
　予約が成立すると、Ｓ２でサーバ１０１は車両１の貸出予約に関する情報を生成してデータベース１０１ａに予約ユーザ１１１と予約車両１とを関連付けて保存する。また、サーバ１０１はユーザ端末１１２に予約車両１の貸出に必要な情報（認証情報、予約車両１の個体情報等）を送信し、ユーザ端末１１２はその情報を受信する（Ｓ１２）。 When the reservation is established, the server 101 generates information on the rental reservation of the vehicle 1 in S2 and saves the reserved user 111 and the reserved vehicle 1 in the database 101a in association with each other. Further, the server 101 transmits information (authentication information, individual information of the reserved vehicle 1 and the like) necessary for renting the reserved vehicle 1 to the user terminal 112, and the user terminal 112 receives the information (S12).
　ユーザ１１１は、車両１の貸出場所に赴き、予約対象の貸出車両１に接近する。ユーザ１１１はユーザ端末１１２を操作してユーザ端末１１２と貸出車両１の通信ユニット４０とペアリングを実行する。ペアリング後、ユーザ端末１１２はＳ１２で受信した情報を含む貸出要求を通信ユニット４０に送信し、通信ユニット４０は貸出要求を受信する（Ｓ２１）。Ｓ２２で通信ユニット４０は、貸出要求の認証等を行う貸出処理を実行し、認証が成立した場合に貸出許可の情報をユーザ端末１１２に送信する。 User 111 goes to the rental place of vehicle 1 and approaches the rental vehicle 1 to be reserved. The user 111 operates the user terminal 112 to perform pairing with the user terminal 112 and the communication unit 40 of the rental vehicle 1. After pairing, the user terminal 112 transmits a lending request including the information received in S12 to the communication unit 40, and the communication unit 40 receives the lending request (S21). In S22, the communication unit 40 executes a lending process for authenticating the lending request, and when the authentication is established, transmits the lending permission information to the user terminal 112.
　Ｓ１４で貸出許可の情報を受信したユーザ端末１１２は、Ｓ１５で貸出許可の情報と共にサーバ１０１へ、貸出車両１の貸出開始要求を送信する。Ｓ３でサーバ１０１は貸出開始要求を受信し、データベース１０１ａに保存していた貸出予約に関する情報を、貸出中の情報へ更新する登録処理を行う。貸出中の情報は、例えば、ユーザ１１１と貸出車両１と貸出開始時間を含む。また、サーバ１０１は開始許可情報をユーザ端末１１２に送信する。 The user terminal 112 that has received the rental permission information in S14 transmits a rental start request for the rental vehicle 1 to the server 101 together with the rental permission information in S15. In S3, the server 101 receives the lending start request, and performs a registration process for updating the lending reservation information stored in the database 101a to the lending information. The information being rented includes, for example, the user 111, the rented vehicle 1, and the rented start time. Further, the server 101 transmits the start permission information to the user terminal 112.
　Ｓ１６でユーザ端末１１２は開始許可情報を受信し、受信した開始許可情報に基づく使用開始指示をＳ１７で通信ユニット４０に送信する。通信ユニット４０はＳ２３で使用開始指示を受信し、Ｓ２４で切替回路４５を制御して電源２５から主制御ユニット３０への電力供給を開始する。これにより貸出車両１をユーザ１１１が使用可能となる。 The user terminal 112 receives the start permission information in S16, and transmits a use start instruction based on the received start permission information to the communication unit 40 in S17. The communication unit 40 receives the use start instruction in S23, controls the switching circuit 45 in S24, and starts supplying power from the power supply 25 to the main control unit 30. As a result, the rental vehicle 1 can be used by the user 111.
　電力の供給が開始されると主制御ユニット３０が起動する。主制御ユニット３０は直ちにダイヤルロック装置３８のアクチュエータ３８ａに電力を供給してこれを駆動し、操作子２２の回転操作の規制を解除する。ユーザ１１１が貸出車両１の操作子２２を「ＯＮ」位置に回転し、スタータスイッチ２ｅを押すことでエンジンを始動することができる。 The main control unit 30 starts when the power supply is started. The main control unit 30 immediately supplies electric power to the actuator 38a of the dial lock device 38 to drive the actuator 38a, and releases the restriction on the rotation operation of the operator 22. The user 111 can start the engine by rotating the operator 22 of the rental vehicle 1 to the "ON" position and pressing the starter switch 2e.
　次に、図７を参照して貸出終了時の処理例について説明する。ユーザ１１１が貸出車両１のハンドルロックを行わずにその返却或いは放置がなされると、第三者によるいたずらや盗難の危険性がある。本実施形態は、貸出車両１の貸出終了に際して、貸出車両１のハンドルロックの励行をユーザ１１１に促す仕組みを提供するものである。 Next, an example of processing at the end of lending will be described with reference to FIG. If the user 111 returns or leaves the rental vehicle 1 without locking the steering wheel, there is a risk of mischief or theft by a third party. The present embodiment provides a mechanism for prompting the user 111 to enforce the steering wheel lock of the rental vehicle 1 at the end of the rental of the rental vehicle 1.
　Ｓ４１で、貸出終了を希望するユーザ１１１は、ユーザ端末１１２から貸出車両１の通信ユニット４０に対して貸出終了要求を送信する。通信ユニット４０は、Ｓ５１で貸出終了要求を受信すると、Ｓ５２で検知回路２３の検知結果を取得して操作子２２の位置を検知する処理を行う。通信ユニット４０はＳ５３で操向ハンドル２がロック状態か否かを判定する。この判定ではＳ５２で取得した操作子２２の位置が「ＬＯＣＫ」位置であればロック状態であると判定し、「ＬＯＣＫ」以外の位置であればロック解除状態であると判定する。 In S41, the user 111 who wishes to end the lending transmits a lending end request from the user terminal 112 to the communication unit 40 of the lending vehicle 1. When the communication unit 40 receives the lending end request in S51, the communication unit 40 acquires the detection result of the detection circuit 23 in S52 and performs a process of detecting the position of the operator 22. The communication unit 40 determines in S53 whether or not the steering handle 2 is in the locked state. In this determination, if the position of the operator 22 acquired in S52 is the "LOCK" position, it is determined to be in the locked state, and if it is a position other than "LOCK", it is determined to be in the unlocked state.
　Ｓ５３でロック状態と判定した場合、通信ユニット４０はＳ５４で、ユーザ端末１１２へ終了許可の通知を送信する。続くＳ５５で通信ユニット４０は切替回路４５を制御して電源２５から主制御ユニット３０への電力供給を遮断する。これにより貸出車両１をユーザ１１１が使用不能となり、また、第三者によるいたずらや盗難に対する防犯性を向上できる。また、主制御ユニット３０への電力供給が遮断されることにより、ダイヤルロック装置３８のアクチュエータ３８ａに対する電力供給も遮断され、ダイヤルロック装置３８によって操作子２２の回転操作が規制される。これにより走行ハンドル２のロック状態の解除が不能となり、防犯性を更に向上できる。 When it is determined in S53 that the lock state is set, the communication unit 40 transmits a notification of termination permission to the user terminal 112 in S54. In the following S55, the communication unit 40 controls the switching circuit 45 to cut off the power supply from the power supply 25 to the main control unit 30. As a result, the rental vehicle 1 cannot be used by the user 111, and the crime prevention property against mischief or theft by a third party can be improved. Further, by cutting off the power supply to the main control unit 30, the power supply to the actuator 38a of the dial lock device 38 is also cut off, and the dial lock device 38 regulates the rotation operation of the operator 22. As a result, the locked state of the traveling handle 2 cannot be released, and the crime prevention property can be further improved.
　ユーザ端末１１２は、Ｓ４２で終了許可を受信し、Ｓ４３でサーバ１０１へ受信した終了許可と共に車両１の貸出終了指示を送信する。Ｓ３１でサーバ１０１は貸出終了指示を受信し、データベース１０１ａに保存していた貸出中の情報を貸出終了へ更新する登録処理を行う。貸出終了の情報は、例えば、ユーザ１１１と貸出車両１と貸出開始時間と貸出終了時間とを含む。また、サーバ１０１は貸出終了の登録情報をユーザ端末１１２に送信する。Ｓ４４でユーザ端末１１２は貸出終了の登録情報を受信し、Ｓ４５で車両１の貸出が完了したことをユーザ１１１に報知する。この報知は例えばユーザ端末１１２の表示装置における表示により行うことができる。 The user terminal 112 receives the termination permission in S42, and transmits the rental termination instruction of the vehicle 1 together with the termination permission received in S43 to the server 101. In S31, the server 101 receives the lending end instruction, and performs a registration process for updating the lending information stored in the database 101a to the lending end. The lending end information includes, for example, the user 111, the lending vehicle 1, the lending start time, and the lending end time. Further, the server 101 transmits the registration information of the end of lending to the user terminal 112. In S44, the user terminal 112 receives the registration information of the end of lending, and notifies the user 111 that the lending of the vehicle 1 is completed in S45. This notification can be performed, for example, by displaying on the display device of the user terminal 112.
　Ｓ５３でロック解除状態と判定した場合、通信ユニット４０はＳ５６で、ユーザ端末１１２へ終了不可の通知を送信する。Ｓ４６でユーザ端末１１２は終了不可の通知を受信し、Ｓ４７で車両１の貸出終了が認められないことをユーザ１１１に報知する。この報知は例えばユーザ端末１１２の表示装置における表示により行うことができ、この表示には貸出終了のために必要なハンドルロックの実行を促すメッセージ（例えば、ハンドルロックを行ってから再度、終了操作を行ってください。）を含めることができる。メッセージは終了不可の通知に含まれていてもよいし、ユーザ端末１１２のアプリケーションが予め用意しているメッセージであってもよい。ユーザ１１１がハンドルロックを行なわなければ貸出終了が成立しないため、ハンドルロックをユーザ１１１に促すことができる。 When it is determined in S53 that the lock is released, the communication unit 40 transmits a notification of non-termination to the user terminal 112 in S56. In S46, the user terminal 112 receives the notification that the end is not possible, and notifies the user 111 that the end of lending of the vehicle 1 is not recognized in S47. This notification can be performed, for example, by a display on the display device of the user terminal 112, and a message prompting the execution of the handle lock necessary for the end of lending (for example, the end operation is performed again after the handle lock is performed). Please go.) Can be included. The message may be included in the non-termination notification, or may be a message prepared in advance by the application of the user terminal 112. Since the end of lending cannot be established unless the user 111 locks the handle, the user 111 can be prompted to lock the handle.
　＜他の実施形態＞
　上記実施形態では、主制御ユニット３０の動作の遮断の切り替えを、主制御ユニット３０への電力の供給の有無により行ったが、動作の遮断方法はこれに限られない。例えば、通信ユニット４０と主制御ユニット３０とが無線又は有線で通信可能に接続される。主制御ユニット３０の動作の遮断を行う場合は、通信ユニット４０から主制御ユニット３０に遮断指示を送信し、主制御部ユニット３０がこれを受信して機能を停止してもよい。また、主制御ユニット３０を動作可能とする場合は、通信ユニット４０から主制御ユニット３０に動作許可指示を送信し、主制御部ユニット３０がこれを受信して機能を復帰してもよい。 <Other Embodiments>
In the above embodiment, the interruption of the operation of the main control unit 30 is switched depending on whether or not power is supplied to the main control unit 30, but the method of interrupting the operation is not limited to this. For example, the communication unit 40 and the main control unit 30 are connected wirelessly or by wire so as to be able to communicate with each other. When shutting off the operation of the main control unit 30, the communication unit 40 may send a shutoff instruction to the main control unit 30, and the main control unit 30 may receive this and stop the function. Further, when the main control unit 30 can be operated, the communication unit 40 may transmit an operation permission instruction to the main control unit 30, and the main control unit 30 may receive the instruction to return the function.
　また、上記実施形態では、使用開始指示（Ｓ１７）及び貸出終了要求（Ｓ４１）を、ユーザ端末１１２が通信ユニット４０に送信するシステムとしたが、サーバ１０１が通信ユニット４０に送信するシステムであってもよい。 Further, in the above embodiment, the user terminal 112 transmits the use start instruction (S17) and the lending end request (S41) to the communication unit 40, but the server 101 transmits the system to the communication unit 40. May be good.
　また、上記実施形態では、通信ユニット４０が電力の供給と遮断を切り替える対象を、車両１を統括的に制御する主制御ユニット３０としたが、他の制御ユニットであってもよい。例えば、ＦＩ－ＥＣＵ３６であってもよい。また、図示しないが、燃料ポンプの駆動を制御するＥＣＵ等であってもよく、車両１の少なくとも一部の機能を制御する制御ユニットを対象としてもよい。 Further, in the above embodiment, the target for switching between power supply and cutoff by the communication unit 40 is the main control unit 30 that collectively controls the vehicle 1, but other control units may be used. For example, it may be FI-ECU 36. Further, although not shown, it may be an ECU or the like that controls the drive of the fuel pump, or may be a control unit that controls at least a part of the functions of the vehicle 1.
　また、上記実施形態では、エンジンの始動において携帯キー３５による認証の成立を要件としたが、携帯キー３５に代えて電子キー（仮想キー）が用いられてもよい。電子キーは、貸出予約の成立により、サーバ１０１からユーザ端末１１２へ送信されてもよく、ユーザ端末１１２が、受信した電子キーをエンジンの始動時に主制御ユニット３０へ送信することで認証を行ってもよい。 Further, in the above embodiment, the establishment of authentication by the mobile key 35 is required when starting the engine, but an electronic key (virtual key) may be used instead of the mobile key 35. The electronic key may be transmitted from the server 101 to the user terminal 112 upon establishment of the rental reservation, and the user terminal 112 authenticates by transmitting the received electronic key to the main control unit 30 when the engine is started. May be good.
