[0033] [Outline of the inspection support system S]

[0034] Figure 1 It is a diagram showing the configuration of the inspection support system S according to the embodiment. The inspection support system S includes an inspection support device 2 that assists in the inspection of the vehicle 1. The vehicle 1 is a commercial vehicle, such as a truck. The inspection support device 2 is a device managed by a practitioner who inspects the vehicle 1, such as an information terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet.

[0035] By starting the inspection application software (hereinafter referred to as the "inspection application"), the inspection support device 2 displays the inspection items and inspection methods required for the inspection of the vehicle 1 on the display. The inspection support device 2 receives the operation of the user U who inputs the inspection results.

[0036] In addition, the inspection support device 2 communicates with the vehicle 1 via wireless communication through the in-vehicle wireless device mounted on the vehicle 1. For example, the inspection support device 2 communicates with the vehicle 1 via Wi-Fi (registered trademark) or Bluetooth (registered trademark). The inspection support device 2 transmits, for example, instruction information for changing the state of the devices of the vehicle 1 to the vehicle 1 via wireless communication.

[0037] Figure 2 It is a diagram showing the screen displayed by the inspection support device 2 immediately after the inspection application is started. As Figure 2 shown, the inspection support device 2 displays a screen for selecting the vehicle 1 to be inspected. In Figure 2 the example, the following are displayed: an operation key K1 for selecting the vehicle with the vehicle registration information "Shinagawa XXX a YYY"; and an operation key K2 for selecting the vehicle with the vehicle registration information "Shinagawa XXX i ZZZ". The vehicle registration information is information for identifying the vehicle 1 and is, for example, pre-registered by the administrator of the inspection support system. For example, the vehicle registration information is the vehicle registration number of the vehicle 1.

[0038] When an operation of selecting the vehicle 1 is performed on the Figure 2 screen, the inspection items required for the inspection of the selected vehicle 1 are displayed. The user U performs the inspection corresponding to the displayed inspection items and inputs the inspection results into the inspection support device 2. In addition, when the inspection support device 2 displays an inspection item that checks by changing the state of the devices of the vehicle 1, it transmits instruction information for changing the state of the device corresponding to the inspection item to the vehicle 1. By doing so, the user U can inspect the vehicle 1 without directly operating the vehicle 1.

[0039] [Configuration of Vehicle 1]

[0040] Figure 3 It is a diagram showing the configuration of the vehicle 1. The vehicle 1 includes an in-vehicle wireless device 11, various lamps 12, various sensors 13, and an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 14. The ECU 14 has a storage unit 141 and a control unit 142.

[0041] The in-vehicle radio 11 is a device for communicating with the inspection assistance device 2 via wireless communication. The in-vehicle radio 11 transmits the information notified from the control unit 142 to the inspection assistance device 2. In addition, the in-vehicle radio 11 notifies the information received from the inspection assistance device 2 to the control unit 142. Alternatively, the in-vehicle radio 11 may transmit the information notified from the control unit 142 to a device other than the inspection assistance device 2 (e.g., a server).

[0042] The various lamps 12 are, for example, brake lights, backlights, etc. The various sensors 13 are, for example, sensors for detecting the depression of the brake pedal, sensors for detecting the case where the gear enters reverse, etc.

[0043] The ECU 14 is a control device for electronically controlling each part of the vehicle 1 by a computer. The storage unit 141 is composed of, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The storage unit 141 stores various programs and various data for enabling the control unit 142 to function.

[0044] The control unit 142 controls each part of the vehicle 1 by executing the programs stored in the storage unit 141. For example, the control unit 142 turns on or off the various lamps 12 based on the information received from the inspection assistance device 2 via the in-vehicle radio 11. In addition, the control unit 142 transmits the information generated based on the detection results detected by the various sensors 13 to the inspection assistance device 2 via the in-vehicle radio 11.

[0045] [Configuration of the inspection assistance device 2]

[0046] Figure 4 FIG. is a diagram showing the configuration of the inspection assistance device 2. The inspection assistance device 2 includes a communication unit 21, an operation unit 22, a display unit 23, a storage unit 24, and a control unit 25. The communication unit 21 is a communication module for communicating with the vehicle 1 via wireless communication.

[0047] The operation unit 22 receives the operation of the user U. The operation unit 22 includes various buttons provided in the inspection assistance device 2 and a touch panel overlapped on the display unit 23. The operation unit 22 detects that the user U has performed an operation and notifies the detected operation content to the control unit 25. The display unit 23 is a display for displaying various screens, for example, a liquid crystal display.

[0048] The storage unit 24 is composed of, for example, a ROM and a RAM. The storage unit 24 stores various programs for enabling the control unit 25 to function. In addition, the storage unit 24 associates and stores vehicle registration information, a wireless identification number, and a vehicle identification number.

[0049] The wireless identification information is information for identifying the in-vehicle radio 11 possessed by the vehicle 1. For example, the information for identifying the in-vehicle radio 11 is the SSID (Service Set Identifier) of the in-vehicle radio 11. Additionally, the wireless identification information may also include an encryption key for connecting to the in-vehicle radio 11. The vehicle identification number is a number unique to the vehicle 1 for identifying the vehicle 1, such as the Vehicle Identification Number.

[0050] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of a data table associating vehicle registration information, wireless identification numbers, and vehicle identification numbers. In Figure 5 In the example, the wireless identification information "123ABC" and the vehicle identification number "DEF987" are associated with the vehicle registration information "Shinagawa XXXあYYY". It is also possible that the storage unit 24 stores the vehicle registration information in association with the inspection items required for the inspection of the vehicle 1 corresponding to the vehicle registration information.

[0051] The control unit 25 includes a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 25 functions as a registration information acquisition unit 251, a determination unit 252, and a display control unit 253 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 24.

[0052] The registration information acquisition unit 251 acquires the vehicle registration information corresponding to the vehicle 1 to be inspected. For example, the registration information acquisition unit 251 acquires the vehicle registration information selected by the user U from among the multiple vehicle registration information displayed on the display unit 23.

[0053] The determination unit 252 refers to the data table associating the vehicle registration information, wireless identification numbers, and vehicle identification numbers stored in the storage unit 24, and determines whether the wireless identification information is associated with the vehicle registration information acquired by the registration information acquisition unit 251. In the case of the example shown in Figure 5 , the determination unit 252 determines that the wireless identification information "123ABC" is associated with the vehicle registration information "Shinagawa XXXあYYY". In the example of Figure 5 , the determination unit 252 determines that the wireless identification information is not associated with the vehicle registration information "Shinagawa XXXいZZZ".

[0054] The display control unit 253 causes an operation screen generated in a form determined based on the determination result of the determination unit 252 to be displayed. For example, when the determination unit 252 determines that the wireless identification information is associated with the acquired vehicle registration information, the display control unit 253 causes an operation screen for communicating with the in-vehicle wireless device 11 and inspecting the vehicle 1 to be displayed on the display unit 23. Additionally, it may be that the display control unit 253 causes an operation screen including information indicating the end of wireless setting to be displayed, where the wireless setting is for wireless communication with the in-vehicle wireless device 11 of the vehicle 1 corresponding to the selected vehicle registration information. Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram showing an example of the operation screen. And, the display control unit 253 causes inspection items associated with the vehicle registration information to be displayed triggered by the selection of the "Inspection Start" key for starting the inspection of the vehicle.

[0055] After the display control unit 253 receives the input of the inspection result corresponding to the displayed inspection item, it causes the inspection items for which the inspection result has not been input to be displayed. By doing so, the inspection assistance device 2 can suppress the situation where the user U forgets to input the inspection result.

[0056] When the determination unit 252 determines that the wireless identification information is not associated with the acquired vehicle registration information, the display control unit 253 causes an operation screen to be displayed on the display unit 23, which includes an input screen for the wireless identification information of the in-vehicle wireless device 11 of the vehicle 1 corresponding to the vehicle registration information. For example, the display control unit 253 causes the input screen for the wireless identification information to be displayed before displaying Figure 6 the operation screen shown. Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram showing an operation screen including an input screen for the wireless identification information. As the wireless identification information, the user U can input the SSID and the network key into the input screen displayed on the display unit 23.

[0057] When the wireless identification information is input, the registration information acquisition unit 251 stores the wireless identification information in association with the vehicle registration information in the storage unit 24. Then, when the in-vehicle wireless device 11 identified by the input wireless identification information and the inspection assistance device 2 are communicably connected, the registration information acquisition unit 251 acquires the vehicle identification number for identifying the vehicle 1 from the in-vehicle wireless device 11. The registration information acquisition unit 251 stores the acquired vehicle identification number in association with the vehicle registration information and the wireless identification information in the storage unit 24.

[0058] When the wireless identification information is associated with the acquired vehicle registration information and the in-vehicle wireless device 11 represented by the wireless identification information is not communicably connected to the inspection support device 2, the display control unit 253 displays the setting screen of the wireless function of the inspection support device 2. Specifically, first, the display control unit 253 displays an operation screen on the display unit 23, and the operation screen includes a wireless setting operation unit for communicably connecting the in-vehicle wireless device 11 and the inspection support device 2. The wireless setting operation unit is, for example, Figure 6 the "Wi-Fi setting" key shown. Next, the display control unit 253 triggers the selection of the "Wi-Fi setting" key and displays the setting screen of the wireless function of the inspection support device 2. Figure 8 FIG. is a schematic diagram showing an example of the setting screen of the wireless function. In addition, the "Wi-Fi setting" key may also be a link button, for example, which is provided in the operating system of the inspection support device 2 installed with the inspection application and is used to execute the Wi-Fi setting function.

[0059] Hereinafter, the process flow of the processing executed by the inspection support device 2 will be described. Figure 9 FIG. is a flowchart of the processing executed by the inspection support device 2. The registration information acquisition unit 251 acquires the vehicle registration information corresponding to the vehicle 1 to be inspected (step S1). The determination unit 252 determines whether the wireless identification information is associated with the vehicle registration information (step S2). When the wireless identification information is not associated with the vehicle registration information (in step S2, "no"), the inspection support device 2 executes the process of registering the wireless identification information (step S3). The process for registering the wireless identification information will be described later.

[0060] When the wireless identification information is associated with the vehicle registration information (in step S2, "yes"), the determination unit 252 determines whether the in-vehicle wireless device 11 and the inspection support device 2 are communicably connected (step S4). When the in-vehicle wireless device 11 and the inspection support device 2 are communicably connected (in step S4, "yes"), the registration information acquisition unit 251 acquires the vehicle identification number from the in-vehicle wireless device 11 (step S5).

[0061] The determination unit 252 determines whether the vehicle identification number associated with the vehicle registration information and the vehicle identification number acquired by the registration information acquisition unit 251 are the same (step S6). When the vehicle identification number associated with the vehicle registration information and the acquired vehicle identification number are the same (in step S6, "yes"), the display control unit 253 displays the operation screen for inspecting the vehicle 1 on the display unit 23 (step S7).

[0062] When the display control unit 253 determines that the in-vehicle wireless device 11 and the inspection support device 2 are not communicably connected (No in step S4), or when the vehicle identification number associated with the vehicle registration information does not match the acquired vehicle identification number (No in step S6), the display control unit 253 causes a notification screen indicating that the in-vehicle wireless device 11 is not connected to be displayed on the display unit 23 (step S8). For example, the display control unit 253 causes a notification screen including information indicating that the in-vehicle wireless device 11 is not connected to be displayed, where the in-vehicle wireless device 11 is identified by wireless identification information associated with the selected vehicle registration information. Alternatively, the display control unit 253 may cause a notification screen including a wireless setting operation unit to be displayed on the display unit 23. Figure 10 It is a schematic diagram showing an example of a notification screen indicating that the in-vehicle wireless device 11 is not connected.

[0063] In this way, the display control unit 253 notifies that the in-vehicle wireless device 11 of the vehicle 1 to be inspected is not connected to the inspection support device 2 and causes a notification screen including a wireless setting operation unit to be displayed. Therefore, the user U can understand that it is necessary to connect the in-vehicle wireless device 11 to the inspection support device 2 in order to perform the inspection. In addition, since the display control unit 253 displays a setting screen for the wireless function when the user U selects the displayed wireless setting operation unit, the user U can quickly perform the setting process for the wireless function.

[0064] Next, the process flow of registering wireless identification information performed by the inspection support device 2 will be described. Figure 11 It is a flowchart of the wireless identification information registration process. When the wireless identification information is not associated with the vehicle registration information (No in step S2 of Figure 9 ), the display control unit 253 causes an input screen for the wireless identification information corresponding to the vehicle registration information to be displayed (step S11). When the wireless identification information is input, the registration information acquisition unit 251 stores the wireless identification information in association with the vehicle registration information in the storage unit 24 (step S12).

[0065] The determination unit 252 determines whether the in-vehicle wireless device 11 identified by the input wireless identification information and the inspection support device 2 are communicably connected (step S13). When the in-vehicle wireless device 11 identified by the input wireless identification information and the inspection support device 2 are not communicably connected (No in step S13), the inspection support device 2 waits until it is communicably connected.

[0066] When the in-vehicle wireless device 11 identified by the input wireless identification information is communicably connected to the inspection support device 2 (in step S13, "Yes"), the registration information acquisition unit 251 acquires the vehicle identification number from the in-vehicle wireless device 11 (step S14). The registration information acquisition unit 251 stores the vehicle identification number acquired from the in-vehicle wireless device 11 in association with the vehicle registration information and the wireless identification information in the storage unit 24 (step S15). Then, the inspection support device 2 ends the process of registering the wireless identification information.

[0067] (Modification Example 1)

[0068] Alternatively, the display control unit 253 may display an operation screen in a form corresponding to the connection state between the in-vehicle wireless device 11 and the inspection support device 2. Specifically, the display control unit 253 makes an operation screen that does not include the wireless setting operation unit be displayed on the display unit 23 on the condition that the in-vehicle wireless device 11 represented by the wireless identification information associated with the selected vehicle registration information and the inspection support device 2 are communicably connected. In addition, alternatively, the display control unit 253 may display a situation where the in-vehicle wireless device 11 and the inspection support device 2 identified by the wireless identification information associated with the vehicle registration information are connected. Figure 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of an operation screen that does not include the wireless setting operation unit. In Figure 12 's example, the "Wi-Fi setting" button as the wireless setting operation unit is not displayed.

[0069] In addition, in Figure 12 's example, adjacent to the vehicle registration information "Shinagawa XXXあYYY", it is displayed as "(Connecting)". In this way, by displaying the connection between the in-vehicle wireless device 11 and the inspection support device 2 on the operation screen that does not include the wireless setting operation unit, the user U can understand that the in-vehicle wireless device 11 and the inspection support device 2 are connected without having to confirm the wireless setting.

[0070] (Modification Example 2)

[0071] The user U may sometimes want to change the wireless device identification information of the in-vehicle wireless device 11 included in the vehicle 1. Therefore, the inspection support device 2 accepts the input of the wireless device identification information and sets the accepted wireless identification information in the in-vehicle wireless device 11.

[0072] Specifically, first, the display control unit 253 makes a change screen for changing the wireless identification information be displayed on the display unit on the condition that the wireless identification information is associated with the vehicle registration information. For example, the display control unit 253 displays the change screen triggered by an instruction to change the wireless identification information associated with the vehicle registration information being input. The registration information acquisition unit 251 acquires the newly input wireless identification information.

[0073] Then, the inspection assistance device 2 sends a change instruction for changing the wireless identification information, which includes the newly input wireless identification information, to the in-vehicle radio 11. When the in-vehicle radio 11 receives the change instruction, it updates the wireless identification information. When the in-vehicle radio 11 has updated the wireless identification information, it causes the updated wireless identification information that cannot be recognized to be displayed on the display unit of the vehicle 1. Specifically, the in-vehicle radio 11 causes updated characters different from the network key (such as asterisks) to be displayed at the position on the display unit of the vehicle 1 that displays the network key of the in-vehicle radio 11. Then, the in-vehicle radio 11 sends a message indicating the completion of the update of the wireless identification information to the inspection assistance device 2. When the registration information acquisition unit 251 receives the message indicating the completion of the update from the in-vehicle radio, it stores the input wireless identification information in association with the vehicle registration information. By doing so, the user U can change the wireless identification information of the in-vehicle radio 11 of the vehicle 1.

[0074] (Modification Example 3)

[0075] Not limited to the above description, it may also be that the inspection assistance system S has an inspection management device that can communicate with the inspection assistance device 2. The inspection management device has at least a part of the functions of the inspection application. The inspection management device is, for example, a server managed by a practitioner who inspects the vehicle 1. In addition, it may also be that the inspection management device has all the functions of the inspection application. In this case, the display control unit of the inspection management device causes various information to be displayed on the inspection assistance device 2 of the user U who inspects the vehicle 1. Specifically, the display control unit of the inspection management device causes an operation screen to be displayed on the inspection assistance device 2, and the operation screen is generated in a form determined based on the determination result of whether the wireless identification information for identifying the in-vehicle radio 11 possessed by the vehicle 1 is associated with the vehicle registration information.

[0076] [Effect of the inspection assistance device 2]

[0077] As described above, the inspection assistance device 2 acquires the vehicle registration information corresponding to the vehicle 1 to be inspected, and determines whether the acquired vehicle registration information is associated with the wireless identification information for identifying the in-vehicle radio 11 possessed by the vehicle 1. Then, the inspection assistance device 2 displays an operation screen generated in a form determined based on the determination result. By doing so, the user U can see the operation screen corresponding to whether the vehicle registration information and the wireless identification information are associated, and thus it is easy to confirm whether a wireless function setting operation is required before inspecting the vehicle 1. Therefore, the inspection assistance device 2 can improve the efficiency of the inspection operation performed by the user U.

[0078] In addition, when the in-vehicle radio 11 and the inspection support device 2 are connected, the inspection support device 2 determines whether the vehicle identification number associated with the vehicle registration information matches the vehicle identification number obtained from the connected in-vehicle radio 11. By doing so, the inspection support device 2 can suppress the following situation: when the in-vehicle radio of a vehicle different from the vehicle 1 to be inspected and the inspection support device 2 are connected, the user U performs an inspection corresponding to the inspection item of a vehicle different from the vehicle 1 to be inspected.

[0079] As described above, although the present disclosure has been described by way of embodiments, the technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the scope described in the above embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the gist thereof. For example, all or part of the device can be configured in such a way that it is functionally or physically dispersed and integrated in any unit. In addition, new embodiments generated by any combination of multiple embodiments are also included in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The effects of the new embodiments generated by the combination have the effects of the original embodiments.
