[0027] Specific embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, vehicle 1 is equipped with a hydrogen tank 2, a fuel cell 3, a refueling device 4, and a charger 5. The hydrogen tank 2 is a tank capable of storing hydrogen and can be refueled at a hydrogen refueling station. When hydrogen in the hydrogen tank 2 is supplied to the fuel cell 3, a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen occurs in the fuel cell 3 to generate electricity. The refueling device 4 is a device for refueling the hydrogen stored in the hydrogen tank 2 into a fuel cell vehicle. The charger 5 is a device for charging an electric vehicle using the electricity generated by the fuel cell 3.

[0029] By installing the hydrogen tank 2, the fuel cell 3, the refueling device 4, and the charger 5 on the vehicle 1, it is possible to deliver hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles and electricity for electric vehicles. For example, even when there is no hydrogen refueling station or charging station (or commercial power supply) near the home of the owner of a fuel cell vehicle or an electric vehicle, the vehicle 1 can be driven to the owner's home to replenish hydrogen for the fuel cell vehicle or charge the electric vehicle.

[0030] When a fuel cell vehicle or an electric vehicle runs out of gas or electricity at a location where there is no hydrogen refueling station or charging station (or commercial power supply) nearby, the vehicle 1 can be driven to that location to replenish hydrogen for the fuel cell vehicle or charge the electric vehicle.

[0031] Therefore, fuel cell vehicles can be easily refueled, and electric vehicles can be easily charged. In addition, when a commercial vehicle used for transporting goods between multiple stores is used as the vehicle 1, it is possible to simultaneously perform goods delivery and hydrogen delivery and improve efficiency.

[0032] Next, the delivery system 10 using the vehicle 1 shown above will be described with reference to Figure 2 The delivery system 10 according to the present embodiment is a system for delivering hydrogen for use in a fuel cell vehicle 20. The delivery system 10 includes a plurality of terminals 11, an in-vehicle device 12, and a server 13 capable of communicating with the plurality of terminals 11 through an Internet communication network 30. Figure 1 The terminal 11 includes a communication terminal that can be used by a user 40 of the delivery system 10, such as a smartphone, a tablet computer, or a personal computer (PC). As

[0033] shown Figure 3As shown, the terminal 11 includes a first communication unit 11A, a second communication unit 11B, an operation unit 11C, a display unit 11D, and a microcomputer (μCOM) 11E. The first communication unit 11A is a communication unit for performing short-range communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) with the in-vehicle device 12. The second communication unit 11B is a communication unit for connecting to the Internet communication network 30. Various operations are performed by the user 40 on the operation unit 11C. The display unit 11D displays various types of information. The μCOM 11E includes: a memory such as a read-only memory (ROM) or a random access memory (RAM); and a central processing unit (CPU) that operates according to a program stored in the memory. The μCOM 11E performs overall control of the terminal 11.

[0034] In the present embodiment, an example in which the operation unit 11C and the display unit 11D are integrally configured as a touch panel will be described. A distribution system application program released by the operating company that operates the distribution system 10 is downloaded to the terminal 11 and stored therein.

[0035] The in-vehicle device 12 acquires hydrogen remaining amount data from the multimedia or instrument installed in the fuel cell vehicle, and sends the acquired hydrogen remaining amount data to the terminal 11.

[0036] As Figure 4 shown, the server 13 includes a communication unit 13A, a database (DB) 13B, and a μCOM 13C. The communication unit 13A is a communication unit for connecting to the Internet communication network 30. The DB 13B stores the registration information (deliverable area, ID (= identification information)) and availability of the vehicle 1 for which hydrogen is to be delivered, and the registration information of the user 40 (address of the terminal 11, vehicle information, name of the user 40, address, contact address, account information of the settlement party, credit card information, etc.).

[0037] Next, the operation of the distribution system 10 having the above configuration will be described with reference to Figure 5 The terminal 11 periodically communicates with the in-vehicle device 12 when it can communicate with the in-vehicle device 12 installed on the fuel cell vehicle 20, and receives hydrogen remaining amount data from the in-vehicle device 12. The μCOM 13C of the server 13 (hereinafter, simply referred to as the server 13) serves as a remaining amount acquisition unit, and periodically sends a hydrogen remaining amount request signal (S1) for requesting the hydrogen remaining amount to the registered terminal 11. When the μCOM 11E of the terminal 11 (hereinafter, simply referred to as the terminal 11) receives the hydrogen remaining amount request signal, the terminal 11 sends a hydrogen remaining amount response signal, which includes the latest remaining amount data received by communicating with the in-vehicle device 12 (S2).

[0038] When the server 13 receives the hydrogen remaining amount response signal, the server 13 determines whether the hydrogen remaining amount is equal to or less than a predetermined value (e.g., 1 / 4 of the tank capacity) (S3). When the hydrogen remaining amount is neither equal to nor less than the predetermined value (No in S3), the server 13 returns to S1. On the other hand, when the hydrogen remaining amount is equal to or less than the predetermined value (Yes in S3), the server 13 serves as a transmitting unit and transmits a hydrogen refueling reservation demand confirmation signal to the terminal 11 (S4).

[0039] When the terminal 11 receives the demand confirmation signal, the terminal 11 performs notification by, for example, displaying the demand confirmation signal on the display unit 11D. Specifically, the terminal 11 displays a message indicating a small hydrogen remaining amount on the display unit 11D. The terminal 11 displays a hydrogen refueling reservation button and a no-reservation button (not shown) on the display unit 11D.

[0040] When the user 40 touches the reservation button, the terminal 11 transmits a response signal indicating the need for reservation to the server 13 (S5). On the other hand, when the user 40 touches the no-reservation button, the terminal 11 transmits a response signal indicating the need for no reservation to the server 13 (S5).

[0041] When receiving the response signal indicating the need for no reservation (No in S6), the server 13 reduces the predetermined value determined in S3, and then returns to S1. On the other hand, when receiving the response signal indicating the need for reservation (Yes in S6), the server 13 serves as an acceptance unit, accepts the reservation, and creates a delivery plan (S7).

[0042] Next, the creation of the delivery plan executed by the server 13 in S7 will be described with reference to Figure 6 First, the server 13 creates a delivery plan based on the position information of the fuel cell vehicles 20 pre-registered in association with a plurality of terminals 11 used for accepting reservations within a certain period (e.g., three days). Specifically, the server 13 acquires the addresses pre-registered in association with a plurality of terminals 11 used for accepting reservations from the registration information of the user 40 stored in the DB 13B as the position information of the fuel cell vehicles 20.

[0043] In Figure 6 the example shown, the position information obtained when accepting reservations for 12 fuel cell vehicles 20 is shown. Next, the server 13 sets delivery areas A1 to A3 based on the position information of the multiple fuel cell vehicles 20 for which reservations have been accepted, and within each delivery area, one vehicle can complete a round trip within a specified period (one day in this embodiment). The server 13 sets the delivery areas A1 to A3 such that all the position information is located in any one of the delivery areas A1 to A3.

[0044] Server 13 adjusts the areas of delivery regions A1 to A3 according to the number of pieces of position information of fuel cell vehicles 20 located within delivery regions A1 to A3, and sets each of delivery regions A1 to A3 such that one vehicle 1 can complete a circuit in one day. In Figure 6 the example shown, three regions are set, namely, a western delivery region A1, a central delivery region A2, and an eastern delivery region A3. For example, server 13 may set the areas of delivery regions A1 to A3 to decrease as the distance from the hydrogen refueling station where vehicle 1 can be refueled increases.

[0045] Next, server 13 sets the respective delivery completion times of delivery regions A1 to A3 based on the number of registered vehicles 1. In Figure 6 the example shown, since only one vehicle 1 is registered, the following schedule is created: delivery is performed in the western delivery region A1 on March 29, delivery is performed in the central delivery region A2 on March 30, and delivery is performed in the eastern delivery region A3 on March 31.

[0046] When server 13 creates a delivery plan, as Figure 5 shown, server 13 sends a reservation candidate date (S8) to terminal 11 according to the created delivery plan. For example, when the position information of the fuel cell vehicle associated with terminal 11 corresponds to the central delivery region A2, server 13 sends March 30 as the reservation candidate date to terminal 11. When terminal 11 receives the reservation candidate date, terminal 11 notifies by displaying the reservation candidate date on display unit 11D or the like. When user 40 accepts the reservation of the reservation candidate date, user 40 performs a reservation confirmation operation. After the reservation confirmation operation, terminal 11 sends a reservation confirmation signal (S9) to server 13.

[0047] When the reservation is determined, server 13 confirms the reservation and ends the process.

[0048] According to the above embodiment, server 13 creates a delivery plan for vehicle 1 based on the position information of fuel cell vehicles 20 pre-registered in association with a plurality of terminals 11 used for accepting reservations. Therefore, an efficient delivery plan can be created.

[0049] According to the above embodiment, server 13 sets delivery regions A1 to A3 to create a delivery plan. Therefore, a more efficient delivery plan can be created.

[0050] According to the above embodiments, the server 13 obtains the remaining amount of hydrogen through communication with the terminal 11, and sends a reservation demand confirmation signal to the terminal 11 when the remaining amount is equal to or less than a predetermined amount. In addition, when a demand response signal indicating the need for reservation is received from the terminal 11 after sending the reservation demand confirmation signal, the server 13 accepts the reservation. Therefore, when the remaining amount of hydrogen or the battery is low, a reservation demand confirmation signal can be sent to the terminal 11, and thus the user can easily make a reservation.

[0051] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and modifications, improvements, etc. can be made appropriately. In addition, the material, shape, size, quantity, arrangement position, etc. of the components in the above embodiments are arbitrary and are not limited as long as the present invention can be implemented.

[0052] Although only hydrogen refueling reservations are made using the above distribution system 10, the present invention is not limited thereto. The distribution system 10 can be used to perform charging reservations for electric vehicles instead of hydrogen refueling reservations. Or, both hydrogen refueling reservations and charging reservations can be made through the distribution system 10.

[0053] Although an example has been described in which the above server 13 obtains the remaining amount of hydrogen by receiving remaining amount data from the terminal 11, the present invention is not limited thereto. The terminal 11 can send its own movement history to the server 13, and the server 13 can obtain the remaining amount of hydrogen based on the movement history of the terminal 11. Based on the movement history, it is roughly known how far the fuel cell vehicle 20 has moved, and the remaining amount of hydrogen can be obtained based on this movement distance. Therefore, even when the terminal 11 cannot communicate with the in-vehicle device 12, the remaining amount can be known.

[0054] Although an example has been described in which when the remaining amount of hydrogen is low, the above server 13 sends a hydrogen refueling reservation demand confirmation signal to the terminal 11 and then accepts the reservation when a response signal indicating the need for reservation is received from the terminal 11, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the user 40 can operate the terminal 11 to send a refueling reservation signal from the terminal 11 to the server 13, and the server 13 can accept the reservation when the refueling reservation signal is received.

[0055] According to an embodiment, a vehicle (1) includes:

[0056] A hydrogen tank (2) that stores hydrogen;

[0057] A fuel cell (3) that generates electricity using the hydrogen in the hydrogen tank (2);

Therefore, the fuel cell vehicle (20) can be easily refueled, and the electric vehicle can be easily charged.

[0066] According to the above configuration, the delivery plan creation unit (13C) creates a delivery plan for the vehicle (1) based on the position information of the fuel cell vehicle (20) or the electric vehicle pre-registered in association with the terminal (11) used to receive the reservation. Therefore, an efficient delivery plan can be created.

[0067] The delivery plan creation unit (13C) may also create a delivery plan by: setting delivery areas (A1 to A3) based on the position information of the fuel cell vehicle (20) or the electric vehicle for which the reservation is received, and determining the completion time of each delivery area (A1 to A3), within each of the delivery areas (A1 to A3), one vehicle (1) can complete a circuit within a predetermined time period.

[0068] According to the above configuration, the delivery areas (A1 to A3) are set, and thus a more efficient delivery plan can be created.

[0069] The server (13) may include: a margin acquisition unit (13C) that acquires the margin of hydrogen in the hydrogen tank installed on the fuel cell vehicle (20) or the remaining power in the battery installed on the electric vehicle through communication with the terminal (11); and

[0070] A transmission unit (13C) that, when the remaining amount obtained by the remaining amount acquisition unit (13C) is equal to or less than a predetermined value, transmits a reservation demand confirmation to the terminal (11), and

[0071] When a response indicating the need for a reservation is received from the terminal (11) after transmitting the reservation demand confirmation, the reservation acceptance unit (13C) can accept the reservation.

[0072] According to the above configuration, when the remaining amount of hydrogen or the battery is small, a reservation demand confirmation can be transmitted to the terminal (11), and thus the user can easily make a reservation.

[0073] The remaining amount acquisition unit (13C) of the server (13) can acquire the movement history of the terminal (11) through communication with the terminal (11), and acquire the remaining amount based on the acquired movement history.

[0074] According to the above configuration, even when the terminal (11) cannot communicate with the instrument of the fuel cell vehicle or the electric vehicle and cannot acquire the remaining amount of hydrogen or the battery measured by the instrument, the server (13) can acquire the remaining amount.
