Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a shared car management device and a shared car management method, and in particular to a shared car management device and a shared car management method for assisting the reservation of shared cars. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the rapid development of electronic keys, satellite positioning systems and mobile communication technology, the application of various shared cars has rapidly spread in society. Shared cars refer to multiple vehicles provided by shared car managers (or shared car management systems or shared car management service centers), and multiple unspecified users can make reservations for shared cars through various means such as telephones, mobile phones or tablet computer client applications, and then go to the shared station to get the shared car within the specified time, and go to one or more destinations desired by the user. After use, the shared car is parked at the shared station and the fee is paid according to the length of use or mileage.

[0003] Usually, when a user wants to use a shared car, he can reserve a shared car parked near the user's current location or a shared car parked at a shared station near the user's current location through a client application such as a phone, mobile phone or tablet, and go to the location where the reserved shared car is parked to pick up and start using the shared car. As long as there is an available shared car around the user's current location or there is an available shared car at a shared station near the user's current location, the user can directly make a reservation, pick up and use it.

[0004] However, in reality, due to the increase in the number of users of shared cars or the peak hours of shared cars, sometimes there are no available shared cars around the user's current location or there are no available shared cars at the shared stations around the user's current location. In this case, users cannot use shared cars as needed, which will cause discomfort to users, reduce user experience, and affect the promotion and popularization of shared cars. On the other hand, users may delay their trips due to the inability to use shared cars, which will cause trouble to users.

[0005] As a solution, there is a method of prompting the user to reserve available shared cars at a location relatively far from the user's current location or available shared cars at a shared station relatively far from the user's current location. However, in this method, although the user can indeed reserve a shared car, the user needs to go to a location relatively far from the current location to pick up the car, which is inconvenient for the user, and thus this solution cannot effectively solve the above problem.

[0047] Hereinafter, a shared car management device and a shared car management method using the shared car management device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] (First Embodiment)

[0049] ※ Configuration of the shared car management device 100

[0050] First, refer to Figure 1 , the structure of the shared car management device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described. In addition, the shared car management device includes various components, Figure 1 Only components related to the technical concept of the present invention are shown, while other components are omitted.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the shared car management device 100 of the present invention includes: a user position acquisition unit 101 , a shared car detection unit 102 , a first determination unit 103 and a processing unit 104 .

[0052] The user location acquisition unit 101 acquires the current location of the user. The user location acquisition unit 101 can acquire the current location of the user from a positioning system such as a GPS system, or can acquire the current location of the user by searching and finding a database that stores information about the current location of the user and is built-in or external to the shared car management device 100 (not shown in the figure), or can acquire the current location of the user in real time via a wired or wireless network, communication, etc. In addition, the user location acquisition unit 101 can be activated when the user opens a shared car reservation application installed in a client such as a phone, mobile phone, or tablet computer to acquire the current location of the user. In addition, the user location acquisition unit 101 can acquire the current location of the user at specified intervals to ensure that the acquired current location of the user is the latest current location to cope with changes in the user's location. In addition, the current location of the user acquired by the user location acquisition unit 101 is associated with the user's identification number (such as the user's registered name, telephone number, etc.). In addition, the user position acquisition unit 101 may be built in the shared car management device 100 or may be independent of the shared car management device 100 and may communicate with the shared car management device 100 via wired or wireless means to transmit and receive data.

[0053] The shared car detection unit 102 detects the shared cars that can be reserved within the first specified distance range around the user's current location obtained by the user location acquisition unit 101. Here, as a method for the shared car detection unit 102 to detect the shared cars that can be reserved, it can be through searching a database that stores the related information of the shared cars (such as the shared car number, the shared car parking location, etc.) that is not shown in the figure and is built-in or externally connected to the shared car management device 100, so as to detect the shared cars that can be reserved within the first specified distance range around the user's current location; in addition, it can also be through searching a database that stores the related information of the shared station (such as the name of the shared station, the address of the shared station, the shared car number held by the shared station, etc.) that is not shown in the figure and is built-in or externally connected to the shared car management device 100, so as to detect the shared station and the shared cars that can be reserved that are held by the shared station within the first specified distance range around the user's current location. In addition, the first specified distance is, for example, 100 meters, 300 meters, 500 meters, etc., and of course it can also be set according to actual needs. In addition, the shared cars that can be reserved refer to shared cars that have not been reserved by other users and can be reserved by the user at this time.

[0054] The first judgment unit 103, for example, is composed of a CPU or an MCU, and is used to judge whether a shared car that can be reserved is detected by the shared car detection unit 102. The first judgment unit 103 can, for example, make a judgment based on the detection result of the shared car detection unit 102. In addition, the first judgment unit 103 can also make a comprehensive judgment based on the status information of the shared car obtained from the shared car management center or shared car station (not shown) and the detection result of the shared car detection unit 102. Here, the status information of the shared car can be, for example, the fuel remaining information of the shared car, the reserved time period information of the shared car, etc.

[0055] The processing unit 104, for example, is composed of a CPU or an MCU, and performs processing when the first judgment unit 103 determines that no reservable shared car is detected by the shared car detection unit 102, prompts the user with a reservable shared car and / or a reservable shared station, and assists the user to get the reservable shared car. Here, a reservable shared car refers to a reservable shared car for the user that has not been reserved by other users. In addition, a reservable shared car refers to a reservable shared car for the user that has not been reserved by other users after the first judgment unit 103 determines whether a reservable shared car is detected by the shared car detection unit 102. In addition, a reservable shared station refers to a shared station where a reservable shared car exists.

[0056] In addition, the user location acquisition unit 101, the shared car detection unit 102, the first determination unit 103, and the processing unit 104 are different components or modules, but some or all of them can be integrated into one component or module.

[0057] ※Operation of the shared car management device 100

[0058] Next, a shared car management device 100 and a shared car management method applied thereto according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0059] Figure 2 This is an operation flow chart of the shared car management device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in step S200, the shared car management device 100 obtains the user's current location through the user location acquisition unit 101, and then proceeds to step S202. For example, it is assumed that after the user opens the shared car reservation application, the shared car management device 100 obtains the user's current location "U1" through the user location acquisition unit 101.

[0061] In step S202, the shared car management device 100 detects a shared car that can be reserved within the first specified distance range around the user's current position obtained by the user position acquisition unit 101 through the shared car detection unit 102, and then enters step S204. Here, the first specified distance is set to "500m", that is, here, the shared car detection unit 102 detects a shared car that can be reserved within the range of "500m" around the user's current position "U1". In addition, it is set here that the detection result of the shared car detection unit 102 is that no shared car that can be reserved is detected.

[0062] In step S204, the shared car management device 100 determines whether a shared car that can be reserved is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 through the first determination unit 103. If it is determined that a shared car that can be reserved is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (Yes in step S204), the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that a shared car that can be reserved is not detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (No in step S204), the process proceeds to step S206. Here, according to the detection result of step S202, the first determination unit 103 determines that a shared car that can be reserved is not detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (that is, No in step S204), and therefore proceeds to step S206.

[0063] In step S206, the shared car management device 100 performs processing through the processing unit 104, prompts the user to reserve shared cars and / or reserve shared stations, and assists the user to pick up the reserve shared cars, and then ends the processing. Here, for example, it is assumed that the processing unit 104 performs processing to make the shared car detection unit 102 detect within the range of "600m" around the user's current position "U1", and detects the reserve shared car "C0001", and generates a running route from the user's current position "U1" to the parking position of the reserve shared car "C0001", prompts the user to reserve the shared car "C0001" and the running route, and then ends the processing. In addition, this is an example, and the processing of the processing unit 104 is not limited to this. As long as the user is prompted to reserve shared cars and / or reserve shared stations, and the user is assisted to pick up the reserve shared cars, various processing can be performed, which will be described in detail later.

[0064] According to the shared car management device 100 of the present embodiment, after the user opens the application for reserving a shared car, the shared car management device 100 obtains the user's current location through the user location acquisition unit 101, and then detects the shared cars that can be reserved within a first specified distance range around the user's current location obtained by the user location acquisition unit 101 through the shared car detection unit 102. When the first judgment unit 103 determines that no shared cars that can be reserved are detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (equivalent to no in step S204), the processing unit 104 performs processing, prompts the user with the reservable shared cars and / or reservable shared stations, and assists the user to get the reservable shared cars. Therefore, when a user wants to reserve a shared car, if no shared car that can be reserved is detected within the first specified distance range around the user's current location, the processing unit 104 can also be used to prompt the user of the reservable shared car and / or reservable shared station, thereby assisting the reservation of the shared car, ensuring that the user actually uses the shared car as needed, avoiding discomfort to the user, avoiding reducing the user experience, and contributing to the promotion and popularization of shared cars. On the other hand, it can avoid delays in the user's journey due to the inability to use the shared car, effectively reducing the trouble caused to the user. In addition, the processing unit 104 can also assist the user to pick up the reservable shared car, thereby effectively assisting the user to conveniently pick up the reserved shared car.

[0065] (Second Embodiment)

[0066] Next, a shared car management device 100A according to the second embodiment and a shared car management method to which the device 100A is applied will be described.

[0067] ※ Configuration of the shared car management device 100A

[0068] Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a shared car management device 100A according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 In the diagram of the structure of the shared car management device 100 of the first embodiment, Figure 1 The same components are marked with the same symbols and their descriptions are omitted.

[0069] The shared car management device 100A of the second embodiment is different from the shared car management device 100 of the first embodiment in that the shared car management device 100A of the second embodiment includes a reservation request accepting unit 105 .

[0070] The reservation request accepting unit 105 is used to accept the shared car reservation request from the user. The reservation request accepting unit 105 can be a hardware device capable of input, such as a mouse, keyboard, joystick, trackball, touch screen, light pen, language controller, etc., or it can be a software module that receives signals from hardware devices capable of input, such as a mouse, keyboard, joystick, trackball, touch screen, light pen, language controller, etc., and implements the function of accepting vehicle reservation requests through software. In addition, a vehicle reservation request refers to a request from an unspecified user to a vehicle manager to reserve a shared car. Here, the shared car reservation request may include, for example, the user's user name, the type of reserved vehicle, the reservation start time, the reservation end time, etc. However, it is not limited to this, and the shared car reservation request may also include the expected vehicle usage time, the vehicle usage destination, etc.

[0071] In addition, in the present embodiment, when the reservation request accepting unit 105 accepts a shared car reservation request from a user, the user position acquiring unit 101 acquires the user's current position.

[0072] ※Operation of the shared car management device 100A

[0073] Figure 4 This is an operation flow chart of the shared car management device 100A according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, after the operation starts, in step S400, the shared car management device 100A accepts a shared car reservation request from the user through the reservation request accepting unit 105, and then proceeds to step S402.

[0075] The processing of step S402 to step S408 is the same as the processing of step S200 to step S206 involved in the first embodiment, and therefore, it is not described here in detail.

[0076] According to the shared car management device 100A of this embodiment, the technical effects of the shared car management device 100 of the first embodiment are also achieved. In addition, the shared car management device 100A is further provided with a reservation request accepting unit 105. When the reservation request accepting unit 105 accepts a shared car reservation request from a user, the user position acquiring unit 101 acquires the user's current position. Therefore, the shared car management device 100A of this embodiment can achieve the technical effects of the first embodiment described above when the reservation request accepting unit 105 accepts a shared car reservation request from a user in addition to when the user opens the application for reserving a shared car.

[0077] (Third Embodiment)

[0078] Next, a shared car management device 100B according to a third embodiment of the present invention and a shared car management method to which the device is applied will be described.

[0079] ※ Configuration of the shared car management device 100B

[0080] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of a shared car management device 100B according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 In the diagram of the structure of the shared car management device 100 of the first embodiment, Figure 1 The same components are marked with the same symbols and their descriptions are omitted.

[0081] The shared car management device 100B of the third embodiment is different from the shared car management device 100 of the first embodiment in that the processing unit 104B of the shared car management device 100B of the third embodiment includes a reservable shared car determination unit 1041 , a reservable shared station determination unit 1042 , and a boarding vehicle determination unit 1043 .

[0082] The reservable shared car determination unit 1041 determines the reservable shared cars within the second specified distance range around the user's current location. Here, as a method for the reservable shared car determination unit 1041 to determine the reservable shared cars within the second specified distance range around the user's current location, it can be through searching a database that stores the related information of the shared cars (such as the shared car number, the shared car parking location, the name of the shared station to which the shared car belongs, the address of the shared station to which the shared car belongs, etc.) that is not shown in the figure and is built-in or external to the shared car management device 100, so as to determine the reservable shared cars within the second specified distance range around the user's current location. In addition, the second specified distance is, for example, 100 meters, 300 meters, 500 meters, etc., and of course it can also be set according to actual needs. In addition, the reservable shared car determination unit 1041 can adjust the range of the reservable shared cars by adjusting the second specified distance, so the reservable shared car determination unit 1041 can determine more than one reservable shared car.

[0083] The reservable shared station determination unit 1042 determines the reservable shared station where the reservable shared vehicle closest to the user's current location is located. Here, the reservable shared station determination unit 1042 can, for example, determine the reservable shared station where the reservable shared vehicle closest to the user's current location is located based on the one or more reservable shared vehicles determined by the reservable shared vehicle determination unit 1041 by referring to a database (not shown) built into or externally connected to the shared vehicle management device 100 that stores the associated information of the shared vehicle (such as the shared vehicle number, the shared vehicle parking location, the name of the shared station to which the shared vehicle belongs, the address of the shared station to which the shared vehicle belongs, etc.). In addition, when the reservable shared vehicle determination unit 1041 determines one reservable shared vehicle, the determined one reservable shared vehicle is the reservable shared vehicle closest to the user's current location. In addition, when the reservable shared vehicle determination unit 1041 determines two or more reservable shared vehicles, one or more reservable shared vehicles closest to the user's current location can be determined from the two or more reservable shared vehicles determined according to various well-known methods.

[0084] The boarding vehicle determination unit 1043 determines a vehicle for the user to board that is headed to a reservable shared vehicle station where a reservable shared vehicle closest to the user's current location is located.

[0085] ※Operation of the shared car management device 100B

[0086] Figure 6 This is an operation flow chart of the shared car management device 100B according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0087] like Figure 6 As shown, in step S600, the shared car management device 100B obtains the user's current location through the user location acquisition unit 101, and then proceeds to step S602. For example, it is assumed that after the user opens the shared car reservation application, the shared car management device 100B obtains the user's current location "U3" through the user location acquisition unit 101.

[0088] In step S602, the shared car management device 100B detects a shared car that can be reserved within the first specified distance range around the user's current position obtained by the user position acquisition unit 101 through the shared car detection unit 102, and then enters step S604. Here, the first specified distance is set to "300m", that is, here, the shared car detection unit 102 detects a shared car that can be reserved within the range of "300m" around the user's current position "U3". In addition, it is set here that the detection result of the shared car detection unit 102 is that the shared car "C0003" that can be reserved is detected.

[0089] In step S604, the shared car management device 100B determines whether a shared car that can be reserved is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 through the first judgment unit 103. When it is determined that a shared car that can be reserved is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (Yes in step S604), the processing is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that a shared car that can be reserved is not detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (No in step S604), the process proceeds to step S606. Here, it is assumed that the first judgment unit 103 makes a comprehensive judgment based on the status information of the shared car obtained from the shared car management center or shared station not shown in the figure and the detection result of the shared car detection unit 102. Here, it is assumed that the status information of the shared car obtained is: the shared car "C0003" has been reserved 5 minutes after the current time. Therefore, based on the acquired shared car status information and the detection result of step S604, the first determination unit 103 determines that no reserved shared car is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (ie, No in step S604), and thus proceeds to step S606.

[0090] In step S606, the car management device 100B determines a reservable car within the second predetermined distance around the user's current location through the reservable car determination unit 1041, and then proceeds to step S608. Here, it is assumed that the reservable car determination unit 1041 determines a reservable car "K0003".

[0091] In step S608, the shared car management device 100B determines the reservable shared car station where the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location is located through the reservable shared car station determination unit 1042. Here, as described above, the reservable shared car "K0003" determined by the reservable shared car determination unit 1041 is the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location. Therefore, the reservable shared car station determination unit 1042 can, for example, determine that the reservable shared car station "S0003" where the reservable shared car "K0003" closest to the user's current location is located is located based on the reservable shared car "K0003" determined by the reservable shared car determination unit 1041, by referring to a database (not shown) built into or external to the shared car management device 100 that stores related information of shared cars (such as shared car number, shared car parking location, shared car station name, shared car station address, etc.).

[0092] In step S610, the shared car management device 100B determines, through the boarding car identification unit 1043, a vehicle for the user to board that is headed to a reservable shared car station where a reservable shared car closest to the user's current location is located.

[0093] According to the shared car management device 100B of this embodiment, when a user wants to reserve a shared car, even if no reserved shared car is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (equivalent to no in step S604), processing is performed by the processing unit 104. Specifically, the reservable shared car determination unit 1041 determines the reservable shared cars within the second specified distance range around the user's current location, and the reservable shared station determination unit 1042 determines the reservable shared station where the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location is located. Then, the boarding vehicle determination unit 1043 determines the vehicle for the user to take to the above-mentioned reservable shared station, so as to prompt the user with the reservable shared cars and / or reservable shared stations, and assist the user to get the reservable shared car. Therefore, when a user wants to reserve a shared car, if no shared car that can be reserved is detected within the first specified distance range around the user's current location, the processing unit 104 can also process it, and the reservable shared car determining unit 1041 determines the reservable shared car within the second specified distance range around the user's current location, and the reservable shared station determining unit 1042 determines the reservable shared station where the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location is located. The user can be prompted with the reservable shared car and / or the reservable shared station, thereby assisting the reservation of the shared car, ensuring that the user actually uses the shared car as needed, avoiding discomfort to the user, avoiding reducing the user experience, and contributing to the promotion and popularization of shared cars. On the other hand, it can avoid delaying the user's trip due to the inability to use the shared car, effectively reducing the trouble caused to the user. In addition, the processing unit 104 can also determine the vehicle for the user to take and go to the above-mentioned reservable shared station through the boarding vehicle determining unit 1043 to assist the user in getting the reservable shared car, thereby effectively assisting the user in conveniently getting the reserved shared car.

[0094] (Fourth Embodiment)

[0095] Next, a shared car management device 100C according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention and a shared car management method to which the device is applied will be described.

[0096] ※ Configuration of the shared car management device 100C

[0097] Figure 7 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a shared car management device 100C according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The same components are marked with the same symbols and their descriptions are omitted.

[0098] The difference between the shared car management device 100C of the fourth embodiment and the shared car management device 100 of the first embodiment is that the processing unit 104C of the shared car management device 100C of the fourth embodiment includes a reservable shared station determination unit 1044, a reservable shared car determination unit 1045 and a boarding vehicle determination unit 1043.

[0099] The reservable shared car station determination unit 1044 determines the reservable shared car station to which the user is to go. Here, for example, the reservable shared car station determination unit 1044 may determine the reservable shared car station to which the user is to go based on various information included in the shared car reservation request from the user accepted by the reservation request acceptance unit 105 (not shown), or may determine the reservable shared car station to which the user is to go based on information related to the user and the user's reservation stored in or external to the shared car management device 100C (not shown).

[0100] The reservable shared car determination unit 1045 determines the reservable shared car to be allocated to the user from the shared cars owned by the reservable shared station to which the user is going as determined by the reservable shared station determination unit 104. Here, for example, the reservable shared car determination unit 1045 can determine the reservable shared car to be allocated to the user based on the status information of the shared car obtained from the shared car management center or shared station (e.g., the fuel remaining information of the shared car, the reserved time period information of the shared car, etc.) not shown in the figure. In addition, the method for determining the reservable shared car to be allocated to the user by the reservable shared car determination unit 1045 can be various well-known methods, which will not be described in detail here.

[0101] The boarding vehicle determination unit 1043 determines a vehicle for the user to board that is headed to a reservable shared vehicle station where a reservable shared vehicle closest to the user's current location is located.

[0102] ※Operation of the shared car management device 100C

[0103] Figure 8 This is an operation flow chart of the shared car management device 100C according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

[0104] like Figure 8 As shown, after the action starts, in step S800, the shared car management device 100C obtains the user's current location through the user location acquisition unit 101, and then enters step S802. For example, it is assumed that after the user opens the shared car reservation application, the shared car management device 100C obtains the user's current location "U4" through the user location acquisition unit 101.

[0105] In step S802, the shared car management device 100C detects a shared car that can be reserved within the first specified distance range around the user's current position obtained by the user position acquisition unit 101 through the shared car detection unit 102, and then enters step S804. Here, the first specified distance is set to "300m", that is, here, the shared car detection unit 102 detects a shared car that can be reserved within the range of "300m" around the user's current position "U4". In addition, it is set here that the detection result of the shared car detection unit 102 is that the shared car "C0004" that can be reserved is detected.

[0106] In step S804, the shared car management device 100C determines whether a shared car that can be reserved is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 through the first judgment unit 103. When it is determined that a shared car that can be reserved is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (Yes in step S804), the processing is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that a shared car that can be reserved is not detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (No in step S804), the process proceeds to step S806. Here, it is assumed that the first judgment unit 103 makes a comprehensive judgment based on the status information of the shared car obtained from the shared car management center or shared station not shown in the figure and the detection result of the shared car detection unit 102. Here, it is assumed that the status information of the shared car obtained is: the shared car "C0004" has been reserved 2 minutes after the current time. Therefore, based on the acquired shared car status information and the detection result of step S804, the first determination unit 103 determines that no reserved shared car is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (ie, No in step S804), and thus proceeds to step S806.

[0107] In step S806, the shared car management device 100C determines the reservable shared car station to which the user is to go through the reservable shared car station determination unit 1044, and then proceeds to step S808. Here, it is assumed that, for example, the reservable shared car station determination unit 1044 determines that the reservable shared car station to which the user is to go is the shared car station "S0004" based on information related to the user and the user's reservation stored in or external to the shared car management device 100C (not shown).

[0108] In step S808, the car-sharing management device 100C determines the reservable car-sharing assigned to the user from the reservable car-sharing station to which the user is to go, determined by the reservable car-sharing station determination unit 104, through the reservable car-sharing determination unit 1045. Here, for example, the reservable car-sharing determination unit 1045 can determine that the reservable car-sharing station is the reservable car-sharing station "S0004" and the reservable car-sharing assigned to the user is "K0004" based on the state information of the car-sharing station (e.g., the remaining fuel information of the car-sharing station, the reserved time slot information of the car-sharing station, etc.) obtained from the unillustrated car-sharing management center or the car-sharing station.

[0109] In step S810, the shared car management device 100C determines, through the boarding car identification unit 1043, a car for the user to board that is headed to a reservable shared car station where a reservable shared car closest to the user's current location is located.

[0110] According to the shared car management device 100C of this embodiment, when a user wants to reserve a shared car, even if no reservable shared car is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (equivalent to no in step S804), processing is performed by the processing unit 104. Specifically, the reservable shared station determination unit 1044 determines the reservable shared station to which the user wants to go, and the reservable shared car determination unit 1045 determines the reservable shared car allocated to the user from the shared cars owned by the reservable shared station to which the user wants to go as determined by the reservable shared station determination unit. Then, the boarding vehicle determination unit 1043 determines the vehicle for the user to take to the above-mentioned reservable shared station, so as to prompt the user with the reservable shared car and / or the reservable shared station, and assist the user to get the reservable shared car. Thus, when a user wants to reserve a shared car, if no shared car that can be reserved is detected within the first specified distance range around the user's current location, the processing unit 104 can also process it, and the reservable shared station to which the user is going to be determined by the reservable shared station determination unit 1044 is used to determine the reservable shared station to which the user is going, and the reservable shared car determination unit 1045 is used to determine the reservable shared car allocated to the user from the shared cars owned by the reservable shared station to which the user is going to be determined by the reservable shared station determination unit. The user can be prompted with the reservable shared car and / or the reservable shared station, thereby assisting the reservation of the shared car, ensuring that the user actually uses the shared car as needed, avoiding discomfort to the user, avoiding reducing the user experience, and contributing to the promotion and popularization of shared cars. On the other hand, it can avoid delaying the user's trip due to the inability to use the shared car, effectively reducing the trouble caused to the user. In addition, the processing unit 104 can also determine the vehicle for the user to take to the above-mentioned reservable shared station through the boarding vehicle determination unit 1043 to assist the user in getting the reservable shared car, thereby effectively assisting the user in conveniently getting the reserved shared car.

[0111] (Fifth Embodiment)

[0112] Next, a shared car management device 100D according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention and a shared car management method to which the device is applied will be described.

[0113] ※ Configuration of the shared car management device 100D

[0114] Fig. 9 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a shared car management device 100D according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The same components are marked with the same symbols and their descriptions are omitted.

[0115] The shared car management device 100D of the fifth embodiment is different from the shared car management device 100 of the first embodiment in that the processing unit 104D of the shared car management device 100D of the fifth embodiment includes a reservable shared car determining unit 1046 and a reservable shared car dispatching unit 1047 .

[0116] The reservable shared car determining unit 1046 determines the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location. Here, for example, the reservable shared car determining unit 1046 determines the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location by referring to a database (not shown) that is built into or externally connected to the shared car management device 100 and stores related information of the shared car (such as the shared car number, the shared car parking location, the shared station name to which the shared car belongs, the shared station address to which the shared car belongs, etc.).

[0117] The reservable shared car dispatching unit 1047 issues a dispatching command to dispatch the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location determined by the reservable shared car determining unit 1046 to the user's current location. Here, in the case where the shared car has an automatic driving function, the dispatching command may be a command to dispatch the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location determined by the reservable shared car determining unit 1046 to automatically drive to the user's current location. In addition, the dispatching command may also be a command to dispatch a staff member related to the shared car to deliver the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location determined by the reservable shared car determining unit 1046 to the user's current location.

[0118] ※Operation of the shared car management device 100D

[0119] Fig.10 This is an operation flow chart of the shared car management device 100D according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention.

[0120] like Fig.10As shown, after the action starts, in step S1000, the shared car management device 100D obtains the user's current location through the user location acquisition unit 101, and then enters step S1002. For example, it is assumed that after the user opens the shared car reservation application, the shared car management device 100D obtains the user's current location "U5" through the user location acquisition unit 101.

[0121] In step S1002, the shared car management device 100D detects a shared car that can be reserved within the first specified distance range around the user's current position obtained by the user position acquisition unit 101 through the shared car detection unit 102, and then enters step S1004. Here, the first specified distance is set to "300m", that is, here, the shared car detection unit 102 detects a shared car that can be reserved within the range of "300m" around the user's current position "U4". In addition, it is set here that the detection result of the shared car detection unit 102 is that the shared car "C0005" that can be reserved is detected.

[0122] In step S1004, the shared car management device 100D determines whether a shared car that can be reserved is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 through the first judgment unit 103. When it is determined that a shared car that can be reserved is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (Yes in step S1004), the processing is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that a shared car that can be reserved is not detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (No in step S1004), the process proceeds to step S1006. Here, it is assumed that the first judgment unit 103 makes a comprehensive judgment based on the status information of the shared car obtained from the shared car management center or shared station not shown in the figure and the detection result of the shared car detection unit 102. Here, it is assumed that the status information of the shared car obtained is: the shared car "C0005" has been reserved 2 minutes after the current time. Therefore, based on the acquired shared car status information and the detection result of step S1004, the first judgment unit 103 judges that no reserved shared car is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (ie, No in step S1004), and thus proceeds to step S1006.

[0123] In step S1006, the shared car management device 100D determines the reservable shared car closest to the current location of the user through the reservable shared car determination unit 1046, and then proceeds to step S1008. Here, it is assumed that, for example, the reservable shared car determination unit 1046 refers to a database (not shown) built into or external to the shared car management device 100 that stores related information of shared cars (such as shared car numbers, shared car parking locations, shared car station names, shared car station addresses, etc.), and determines that the reservable shared car closest to the current location of the user is "K0005".

[0124] In step S1008, the shared car management device 100D issues a dispatch command through the reservable shared car dispatching unit 1047 to dispatch the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location determined by the reservable shared car determining unit to the user's current location, and then ends the process. Here, for example, the reservable shared car dispatching unit 1047 issues a dispatch command to dispatch a shared car-related staff to deliver the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location determined by the reservable shared car determining unit 1046 to the user's current location.

[0125] According to the shared car management device 100D of this embodiment, when a user wants to reserve a shared car, even if no reserved shared car is detected by the shared car detection unit 102 (equivalent to no in step S1004), processing is performed by the processing unit 104. Specifically, the reservable shared car determination unit 1046 determines the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location, and the reservable shared car dispatch unit 1047 issues a dispatch command to dispatch the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location determined by the reservable shared car determination unit 1046 to the user's current location, so as to prompt the user of the reservable shared car and / or the reservable shared station, and assist the user to get the reservable shared car. Therefore, when a user wants to reserve a shared car, if no shared car that can be reserved is detected within the first specified distance range around the user's current location, it can also be processed by the processing unit 104. The reservable shared car determination unit 1046 determines the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location, and can prompt the user with the reservable shared car and / or reservable shared station, thereby assisting the reservation of the shared car, ensuring that the user actually uses the shared car as needed, avoiding discomfort to the user, avoiding reducing the user experience, and contributing to the promotion and popularization of shared cars. On the other hand, it can avoid users from delaying their trips due to not being able to use shared cars, effectively reducing the troubles caused to users. In addition, the processing unit 104 can also issue a dispatch command through the reservable shared car dispatching unit 1047 to dispatch the reservable shared car closest to the user's current location determined by the reservable shared car determination unit 1046 to the user's current location, to assist the user in getting the reservable shared car, thereby effectively assisting the user in conveniently getting the reserved shared car.

[0126] (Sixth Embodiment)

[0127] Next, combine Fig.11 and Fig.12, a shared car management device and a shared car management method applied thereto according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention are described. In addition, in this embodiment, the boarding vehicle determination unit of the shared car management device is described in detail, while the configuration and operation of other components of the shared car management device are omitted. In addition, this embodiment can be applied to the third and fourth embodiments described above.

[0128] Fig.11 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the boarding vehicle identification unit of the shared vehicle management device of the present invention. Fig.12 This is a flowchart of the operation of a boarding vehicle identification unit which is a part of the operation of the shared vehicle management device of the present invention.

[0129] like Fig.11 As shown, the boarding vehicle determination unit 1043 of the present invention includes a candidate vehicle determination unit 431 , a candidate vehicle information acquisition unit 432 , a second determination unit 433 , a confirmation information transmission unit 434 , and a confirmation result acquisition unit 435 .

[0130] The candidate vehicle determination unit 431 determines the candidate vehicles within the third prescribed distance range around the user's current location. Here, as a method for the candidate vehicle determination unit 431 to determine the candidate vehicles within the third prescribed distance range around the user's current location, it can be information obtained from a shared car management center, a traffic management department, a taxi company, an online car-hailing operating company, etc. through a network, communication, etc., and combined with the user's current location to determine the candidate vehicles. In addition, the third prescribed distance is, for example, 500 meters, 1 kilometer, 2,000 meters, etc., and of course it can also be set according to actual needs. In addition, the candidate vehicle determination unit 431 can adjust the range of candidate vehicles by adjusting the third prescribed distance, so the candidate vehicle determination unit 431 can determine more than one candidate vehicle. In addition, the candidate vehicle is one or more of a shared car, a taxi, and an online car-hailing vehicle.

[0131] The candidate vehicle information acquisition unit 432 acquires the associated information of the candidate vehicle determined by the candidate vehicle determination unit 431. Here, the candidate vehicle information acquisition unit 432 may acquire the associated information of the determined candidate vehicle from a shared vehicle management center, a traffic management department, a taxi company, an online car-hailing operating company, etc. through a network, communication, etc. In addition, the associated information of the candidate vehicle includes one or more of destination information, movement trajectory information, guidance path information, schedule information, and busy / idle status information.

[0132] The second judgment unit 433, for example, is composed of a CPU or an MCU, etc., and is used to judge whether there is a candidate vehicle that can pass through the reservable shared station among the candidate vehicles based on the associated information of the candidate vehicles obtained by the candidate vehicle information acquisition unit 432. Here, for example, the second judgment unit 433 can judge whether there is a candidate vehicle that can pass through the reservable shared station among the candidate vehicles based on one or more of the destination information, movement trajectory information, guidance path information, schedule information, and busy and idle status information of the candidate vehicle, and in combination with the associated information of the reservable shared station including the name of the shared station, the address of the shared station, and the number of shared vehicles held by the shared station. For the specific judgment method, various well-known methods can be applied, which will not be repeated here.

[0133] The confirmation information sending unit 434 sends confirmation information for confirming that the user can take the candidate vehicle to the reservable shared station to the user and the candidate vehicle determined to be able to pass through the reservable shared station. Here, the confirmation information may be different depending on the type of the candidate vehicle. For example, in the case where the candidate vehicle is a shared vehicle, the confirmation information may be a message such as "Are you willing to take a certain shared vehicle to a certain reservable shared station?" sent by the shared vehicle management center to the user, and a message such as "Are you willing to take passenger X to a certain reservable shared station?" sent to the candidate vehicle determined to be able to pass through the reservable shared station. In addition, in the case of an idle taxi on the candidate vehicle, the confirmation information may be a message such as "Are you willing to take a certain taxi to a certain reservable shared station?" sent by the shared vehicle management center to the user, and a message such as "Are you willing to take passenger X to a certain reservable shared station?" sent to the candidate vehicle determined to be able to pass through the reservable shared station.

[0134] The confirmation result acquisition unit 435 acquires the confirmation result from the user and the candidate vehicle determined to be able to pass through the reservable shared station. Here, the confirmation result reflects the intention of the user and the candidate vehicle determined to be able to pass through the reservable shared station. Therefore, if both parties agree to ride, the confirmation result is that the candidate vehicle is confirmed as the ride vehicle. On the other hand, if either party does not agree to ride, the confirmation result is that there is no suitable ride vehicle.

[0135] Next, combine Fig.12 The flow of the operation of the boarding vehicle identification unit 1043, which is a part of the operation of the shared vehicle management device of the present invention, will be described. Fig.12 The action shown in the flowchart is then Figure 6 Step S610 in or Figure 8 The step S810 in the above is executed. Fig.12 The flowchart can be embedded in Figure 6 Medium Alternative Figure 6Step S610 in can also be embedded in Figure 8 Medium Alternative Figure 8 Step S810 in .

[0136] like Fig.12 As shown, after the action starts, in step S6810, the candidate vehicle determination unit 431 determines the candidate vehicles within the third specified distance range around the user's current location, and then enters step S6812. Here, it is assumed that the third specified distance is 1 kilometer, and the candidate vehicle determination unit 431 determines that the candidate vehicles within 1 kilometer around the user's current location are: shared car G0006, taxi T0006 and online car-hailing S0006.

[0137] In step S6812, the candidate vehicle information acquisition unit 432 acquires the associated information of the candidate vehicle determined by the candidate vehicle determination unit 431, and then proceeds to step S6814. Here, it is assumed that the candidate vehicle information acquisition unit 432 can obtain the associated information of the shared vehicle G0006, taxi T0006 and online car-hailing S0006 from the shared vehicle management center, taxi company, and online car-hailing operation company through the network, communication, etc., respectively: the movement trajectory information of the shared vehicle G0006, the idle taxi T0006, and the idle online car-hailing S0006.

[0138] In step S6814, the second judgment unit 433 judges whether there is a candidate vehicle that can pass through the reservable shared station among the candidate vehicles based on the associated information of the candidate vehicles acquired by the candidate vehicle information acquisition unit 432. If it is judged that there is no candidate vehicle that can pass through the reservable shared station among the candidate vehicles (No in step S6814), the processing is terminated. If it is judged that there is a candidate vehicle that can pass through the reservable shared station among the candidate vehicles (Yes in step S6814), the process proceeds to step S6816. Here, it is assumed that the second judgment unit 433 can judge that the shared car G0006, the taxi T0006, and the online car-hailing S0006 can all pass through the reservable shared station based on the acquired associated information of "moving trajectory information of the shared car G0006, the taxi T0006 is idle, and the online car-hailing S0006 is idle" of the shared car G0006, the taxi T0006, and the online car-hailing S0006.

[0139] In step S6816, the confirmation information sending unit 434 sends confirmation information to the user and the candidate vehicle that is determined to be able to pass through the reservable shared station to confirm that the user can take the candidate vehicle to the reservable shared station, and then enters step S6818. Here, it is assumed that the confirmation information sending unit 434 sends confirmation information to the user and the shared car G0006, the taxi T0006, and the online car-hailing S0006.

[0140] In step S6818, the confirmation result acquisition unit 435 acquires the confirmation result from the user and the candidate vehicles that are determined to be able to pass through the reservable shared station. Here, it is assumed that the confirmation result is that the user agrees to ride, the shared car G0006 does not agree to ride, the taxi T0006 agrees to ride, and the online car-hailing S0006 does not agree to ride. That is, the confirmation result is that the taxi T0006, which is a candidate vehicle, is confirmed as a ride vehicle.

[0141] The shared car management device according to this embodiment can have the technical effects of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
