[0054] Reference Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 Next, the operation of the system 10 of the present embodiment will be described. This operation corresponds to the vehicle control method of the present embodiment. Figure 4 The operation of the control device 20 is shown. Figure 5 The operation of the vehicle-mounted device 30 is shown.

[0055] exist Figure 4 In step S101, the communication unit 23 of the control device 20 receives the position data D2 from the vehicle-mounted device 30. The position data D2 is data indicating the position of the vehicle 11 measured by the positioning unit 36 ​​of the vehicle-mounted device 30. The control unit 21 of the control device 20 acquires the position data D2 received by the communication unit 23. The control unit 21 refers to the map data D3 and determines whether the position of the vehicle 11 indicated by the acquired position data D2 is consistent with the place 14 where parking is prohibited. The map data D3 is data defining the place 14. The place 14 may be an area where parking is prohibited by law, or an area where personal parking is prohibited, such as in front of a person's house. The map data D3 may be pre-stored in the storage unit 22 of the control device 20, or may be accumulated in an external system such as GIS on the Internet. "GIS" is an abbreviation for geographic information system. If the position of the vehicle 11 is consistent with the place 14, the control unit 21 determines that the vehicle 11 is parked at the place 14. That is, the control unit 21 detects that the vehicle 11 is parked at the place 14. In this case, the process of step S102 is executed. If the position of the vehicle 11 does not match the point 14, the control unit 21 determines that the vehicle 11 has not stopped at the point 14. In this case, the process of step S101 is executed again.

[0056] exist Figure 4In step S102, the control unit 21 of the control device 20 refers to the permission data D4 indicating whether the vehicle 11 is allowed in advance to park the vehicle 11 at the location 14. For example, the permission data D4 includes data indicating whether the parking of the vehicle 11 in the location 14 is specifically allowed by the police when the location 14 is an area where parking is prohibited by law. Or, the permission data D4 includes data indicating whether the parking of the vehicle 11 in front of the house is agreed by the residents when the location 14 is in front of a person's house. Or, the permission data D4 includes data indicating whether the parking of the vehicle 11 at the location 14 is allowed as an exception in an emergency such as an accident or evacuation. The permission data D4 is stored in advance in the storage unit 22 of the control device 20 or an external storage device. Or, the permission data D4 is sent from the terminal device 40 and received by the communication unit 23 of the control device 20. In the case where the vehicle 11 is not allowed in advance to park the vehicle 11 at the location 14, the process of step S103 is executed. In the case where the vehicle 11 is allowed in advance to park, the process of step S101 is executed again.

[0057] exist Figure 4 In step S103, the communication unit 23 of the control device 20 receives the authentication data D5 input by the occupant 12 of the vehicle 11 from the mobile device such as the mobile phone, smart phone or tablet of the occupant 12 or the vehicle-mounted device 30. The authentication data D5 can be either secret data such as a code or password, or encrypted data such as an encryption key. The control unit 21 of the control device 20 obtains the authentication data D5 received by the communication unit 23. The control unit 21 uses the acquired authentication data D5 for authentication. Specifically, the control unit 21 compares the authentication data D5 with the authentication data of one or more users who are pre-registered in the database and are allowed to park at the location 14. If the authentication data D5 does not match the authentication data of any user, the control unit 21 determines that the occupant 12 is not allowed to park at the location 14. That is, the authentication fails. In this case, the processing of step S104 is executed. If the authentication data D5 matches the authentication data of any user, the control unit 21 determines that the occupant 12 is allowed to park at the location 14. That is, the authentication is successful. In this case, the process of step S101 is performed again.

[0058] exist Figure 4In step S104, the control unit 21 of the control device 20 generates control data D1 and instruction data D6. The control data D1 is data for controlling the vehicle 11 to prevent the state of the vehicle 11 from changing to a state in which the power source of the vehicle 11 is stopped and the occupant 12 of the vehicle 11 gets off the vehicle. In the present embodiment, the control data D1 is data including a first instruction to invalidate an operation to stop the power source of the vehicle 11, such as an operation to turn off the ignition of the vehicle 11, but may also be data including other instructions. The control data D1 may be data including a second instruction to lock the seat belt of the vehicle 11 as another instruction, or may be data including a third instruction to lock the door of the vehicle 11. The instruction data D6 is data to instruct that an alarm is prompted to the outside from the vehicle 11. Specifically, the instruction data D6 is data to instruct that an alarm message is displayed on an external display of the vehicle 11, that the hazard warning lights of the vehicle 11 are flashed, that the horn or siren of the vehicle 11 is sounded, or any combination thereof.

[0059] exist Figure 4 In step S105 , the control unit 21 of the control device 20 outputs the control data D1 and the instruction data D6 generated in step S104 . Specifically, the control unit 21 causes the communication unit 23 to transmit the control data D1 and the instruction data D6 . The communication unit 23 transmits the control data D1 and the instruction data D6 to the vehicle-mounted device 30 .

[0060] When sending control data D1 and instruction data D6, Figure 5 In step S111 , the communication unit 33 of the vehicle-mounted device 30 receives the control data D1 and the instruction data D6 from the control device 20 . The control unit 31 of the vehicle-mounted device 30 acquires the control data D1 and the instruction data D6 received by the communication unit 33 .

[0061] exist Figure 5 In step S112, the control unit 31 of the vehicle-mounted device 30 controls the vehicle 11 according to the control data D1 and the instruction data D6 acquired in step S111. Specifically, the control unit 31 controls the vehicle 11 according to the control data D1 to prevent the state of the vehicle 11 from changing to a state in which the power source of the vehicle 11 is stopped and the occupant 12 of the vehicle 11 gets off the vehicle. The control unit 31 controls the vehicle 11 according to the instruction data D6, and an alarm is prompted from the vehicle 11 to the outside. More specifically, the control unit 31 invalidates the operation of stopping the power source of the vehicle 11 according to the first instruction included in the control data D1. The control unit 31 displays the alarm message on the external display of the vehicle 11 according to the instruction included in the instruction data D6. Alternatively, the control unit 31 flashes the hazard warning lights of the vehicle 11. Alternatively, the control unit 31 sounds the horn or siren of the vehicle 11.

[0062] As described above, in the present embodiment, when the control unit 21 of the control device 20 detects that the vehicle 11 is parked at the parking prohibited location 14, it generates control data D1 for controlling the vehicle 11 to prevent the state of the vehicle 11 from changing to a state where the power source of the vehicle 11 is stopped and the occupant 12 of the vehicle 11 gets off. The control unit 21 outputs the generated control data D1. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is easy to prevent unauthorized parking before it occurs.

[0063] In this embodiment, even if the control unit 21 of the control device 20 detects the parking of the vehicle 11 at the point 14, it does not output the control data D1 if the parking of the vehicle 11 is permitted in advance. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to avoid a situation where even unauthorized parking is prohibited.

[0064] In this embodiment, even if the control unit 21 of the control device 20 detects the parking of the vehicle 11 at the location 14, it does not output the control data D1 when the passenger 12 inputs the legitimate authentication data. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to avoid a situation where even unauthorized parking is prohibited.

[0065] As a variation of this embodiment, Figure 4 In step S101, it is determined not only whether the position of the vehicle 11 coincides with the location 14, but also whether the speed of the vehicle 11 is 0. In such a modified example, if the position of the vehicle 11 coincides with the location 14 and the speed of the vehicle 11 is 0, the control unit 21 of the control device 20 determines that the vehicle 11 is parked at the location 14. That is, the control unit 21 detects the parking of the vehicle 11 at the location 14.

[0066] As a variation of this embodiment, Figure 4 In step S104 of the control device 20, or after step S104, the police are informed that the vehicle 11 is parked at the location 14. In such a modified example, the control unit 21 of the control device 20 causes the communication unit 23 to send the notification data D7. The notification data D7 is data for notifying that the vehicle 11 is parked at the location 14. The communication unit 23 sends the notification data D7 to the server device or terminal device of the police.

[0067] As a modification of the present embodiment, a method of contacting the owner 13 of the vehicle 11 may be prepared when the vehicle 11 stops at the spot 14. Such a modification will be described.

[0068] Reference Figure 6 , describing the operation of the control device 20 of this modified example.

[0069] When an action Ax is performed on the vehicle 11 by a person Px who does not have a key for unlocking the door of the vehicle 11, in step S201, the communication unit 23 of the control device 20 receives notification data D8 from the vehicle-mounted device 30. The notification data D8 is data notifying that the action Ax has been performed. The action Ax may be any action, but in the present embodiment, it includes touching the door handle of the vehicle 11 more times than a threshold value. The threshold value is, for example, 3. The person Px is, for example, a resident in front of the home where the vehicle 11 is parked. The control unit 21 of the control device 20 detects the action Ax by acquiring the notification data D8 received by the communication unit 23.

[0070] In step S202, the control unit 21 of the control device 20 causes the communication unit 23 to send an alarm. The communication unit 23 sends the alarm to the terminal device 40. The terminal device 40 receives the alarm from the control device 20. The terminal device 40 notifies the owner 13 of the vehicle 11 of the received alarm. Specifically, the terminal device 40 displays the alarm message on the display. Alternatively, the terminal device 40 outputs the alarm message or the alarm sound from the speaker.

[0071] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, two or more blocks recorded in the block diagram may be merged, or one block may be divided. It is also possible to execute two or more steps recorded in the flowchart in a time series instead of in accordance with the description, but in parallel or in a different order according to the processing capacity of the device executing each step or as needed. In addition, changes can be made without departing from the scope of the gist of the present disclosure.

[0072] For example, you can also omit Figure 4 The processing of step S102 may be omitted. The processing of step S103 may be omitted. In step S104, the instruction data D6 may not be generated. That is, in step S105, the instruction data D6 may not be output.

[0073] For example, the control device 20 may be provided in the vehicle 11. In this case, part of the operation of the vehicle-mounted device 30 may be performed by the control device 20. The vehicle-mounted device 30 may be integrated with the control device 20.
