Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a vehicle, an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program. BACKGROUND

[0002] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2016-56614 discloses an electronic key system capable of preventing an electronic key from being left inside a vehicle in a situation in which a door of the vehicle is locked. In the electronic key system, when a prescribed operation that instructs locking of a door of a vehicle is performed, a vehicle-side receiving mechanism of an in-vehicle device receives an unlocking signal transmitted by an electronic key based on a situation in which the electronic key is determined to be located inside the vehicle, and a door lock control mechanism unlocks the door based on a situation in which the unlocking signal is received.

[0003] In a case in which an information processing apparatus used for locking of a door is placed inside a vehicle, it is considered to cause an alarm to operate to draw the user's attention to the forgetting of the information processing apparatus.

[0004] Here, even in a case in which an information processing apparatus used for locking of a door is placed inside a vehicle, it is possible to erroneously detect that the information processing apparatus is not present inside the vehicle. In a case in which such erroneous detection occurs, it can be considered that, although the information processing apparatus is actually placed inside the vehicle, the user does not notice the forgetting of the information processing apparatus because the alarm does not operate. SUMMARY

[0005] The present disclosure was accomplished in view of the above-described situation, and aims to enable the user to notice forgetting of an information processing apparatus used for locking of a door even in a case in which it is not possible to confirm that the information processing apparatus is present inside a vehicle.

[0006] A first aspect is a vehicle including: a confirmation unit that, when a door of the vehicle is locked, confirms whether an information processing apparatus used for locking of the door is located inside the vehicle; a determination unit that, in a case in which the information processing apparatus is not confirmed by the confirmation unit to be located inside the vehicle, determines whether vibration or movement of the information processing apparatus is detected within a prescribed time from when the door is locked; and an operation unit that, in a case in which vibration or movement of the information processing apparatus is not detected by the determination unit, causes an alarm to operate.

[0007] In the vehicle of the first aspect, when a door of the vehicle is locked, the confirming section confirms whether an information processing device used for locking the door is located in the vehicle. In a case where the confirming section does not confirm that the information processing device is located in the vehicle, the determining section determines whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked. Further, in a case where the determining section does not detect the vibration or movement of the information processing device, the operating section operates an alarm. Here, the "information processing device used for locking the door" is an information processing device in which a digital key is registered, and refers to an information processing device capable of locking the door by an operation on the information processing device. According to this vehicle, even in a case where it is not possible to confirm that the information processing device used for locking the door is present in the vehicle, the user can be made aware of forgetting of the information processing device.

[0008] The vehicle of the second aspect is completed on the basis of the vehicle of the first aspect, and the determining section detects movement of the information processing device on the basis of a change in strength of an electric wave emitted from the information processing device to the vehicle.

[0009] The vehicle of the second aspect detects movement of the information processing device on the basis of a change in strength of an electric wave emitted from the information processing device to the vehicle. Here, the "strength of an electric wave emitted from the information processing device to the vehicle" refers to the strength of an electric wave emitted at the time of communication between the information processing device and the vehicle. According to this vehicle, movement of the information processing device can be detected using the strength of an electric wave emitted from the information processing device to the vehicle.

[0010] The vehicle of the third aspect is completed on the basis of the vehicle of the first or second aspect, and the confirming section determines whether the information processing device is located in the vehicle when the door is locked by an operation of a user who holds a physical key used for locking the door contacting a door handle.

[0011] The vehicle of the third aspect determines whether the information processing device is located in the vehicle when the door is locked by an operation of a user who holds a physical key used for locking the door contacting a door handle. Here, the "physical key used for locking the door" refers to a key capable of locking the door by an operation on the key. According to this vehicle, in a door locking operation in which forgetting of the information processing device is likely to occur, the user can be made aware of forgetting of the information processing device.

[0012] The information processing device of the fourth aspect is an information processing device used for locking a door of a vehicle, including: a confirmation unit that confirms whether the information processing device is located in the vehicle when the door of the vehicle is locked; a determination unit that determines whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked, when the confirmation unit does not confirm that the information processing device is located in the vehicle; and an operation unit that operates an alarm when the determination unit does not detect the vibration or movement of the information processing device.

[0013] In the information processing device of the fourth aspect, when the door of the vehicle is locked, the confirmation unit confirms whether the information processing device is located in the vehicle. When the confirmation unit does not confirm that the information processing device is located in the vehicle, the determination unit determines whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked. Moreover, when the determination unit does not detect the vibration or movement of the information processing device, the operation unit operates an alarm. According to this information processing device, even when it is not possible to confirm that the information processing device used for locking the door is present in the vehicle, the user can be made aware of the forgotten information processing device.

[0014] The information processing device of the fifth aspect is achieved on the basis of the information processing device of the fourth aspect, and the operation unit operates an alarm related to the vehicle. According to this information processing device, the user is easily made aware of the forgotten information processing device.

[0015] The information processing device of the sixth aspect is achieved on the basis of the information processing device of the fourth or fifth aspect, and when the door is locked by a user holding a physical key used for locking the door contacting a door handle, the confirmation unit determines whether the information processing device is located in the vehicle. According to this information processing device, in the door locking operation in which it is possible that the information processing device is forgotten, the user can be made aware of the forgotten information processing device.

[0016] The seventh aspect is an information processing method in which, when a door of a vehicle is locked, a confirmation unit confirms whether an information processing device used for locking the door is located in the vehicle, a determination unit determines whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked, when the confirmation unit does not confirm that the information processing device is located in the vehicle, and an operation unit operates an alarm when the determination unit does not detect the vibration or movement of the information processing device.

[0017] In the information processing method of the seventh aspect, when the door of the vehicle is locked, the confirming section confirms whether the information processing device used for locking the door is located in the vehicle. In a case where the information processing device is not confirmed to be located in the vehicle by the confirming section, the determining section determines whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked. Further, in a case where vibration or movement of the information processing device is not detected by the determining section, the operating section operates an alarm. According to this information processing method, even in a case where it is not confirmed that the information processing device used for locking the door is located in the vehicle, the user can be made to notice that the information processing device is forgotten.

[0018] The eighth aspect is an information processing method in an information processing device used for locking a door of a vehicle. When the door of the vehicle is locked, a confirming section confirms whether the information processing device is located in the vehicle. In a case where the information processing device is not confirmed to be located in the vehicle by the confirming section, a determining section determines whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked. Further, in a case where vibration or movement of the information processing device is not detected by the determining section, an operating section operates an alarm.

[0019] For the information processing method of the eighth aspect, when the door of the vehicle is locked, the confirming section confirms whether the information processing device is located in the vehicle. In a case where the information processing device is not confirmed to be located in the vehicle by the confirming section, the determining section determines whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked. Further, in a case where vibration or movement of the information processing device is not detected by the determining section, the operating section operates an alarm. According to this information processing method, even in a case where it is not confirmed that the information processing device used for locking the door is located in the vehicle, the user can be made to notice that the information processing device is forgotten.

[0020] The ninth aspect is a non-transitory recording medium that records a program causing a computer to execute processing of: when a door of a vehicle is locked, confirming whether an information processing device used for locking the door is located in the vehicle, in a case where it is not confirmed that the information processing device is located in the vehicle, determining whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked, and in a case where vibration or movement of the information processing device is not detected, operating an alarm.

[0021] According to the program recorded on the non-transitory recording medium of the ninth aspect, when a door of a vehicle is locked, a computer confirms whether an information processing device used for locking the door is located in the vehicle, and in a case where it is not confirmed that the information processing device is located in the vehicle, the computer determines whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked, and in a case where the vibration or movement of the information processing device is not detected, the computer causes an alarm to operate. According to the program, even in a case where it is not confirmed that the information processing device used for locking the door is present in the vehicle, the user can be made to notice forgetting of the information processing device.

[0022] The tenth aspect is a non-transitory recording medium recording a program for causing a computer provided to an information processing device used for locking a door of a vehicle to execute processing of: when the door of the vehicle is locked, confirming whether the information processing device is located in the vehicle, in a case where it is not confirmed that the information processing device is located in the vehicle, determining whether vibration or movement of the information processing device is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked, and in a case where the vibration or movement of the information processing device is not detected, causing an alarm to operate.

[0040] USING Figures 1-14A vehicle system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.

[0041] [First Embodiment]

[0042] Figure 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a vehicle system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0043] (Overall Configuration)

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 , the vehicle system 10 according to the present embodiment is configured to include a vehicle 12 and a smartphone 14 that is an information processing apparatus for controlling the vehicle 12. In addition, the vehicle system 10 includes a portable device dedicated to the vehicle 12, that is, a physical key 50 for controlling the vehicle 12.

[0045] The vehicle 12 is configured to be able to directly receive local communication from the smartphone 14 and the physical key 50 without going through a network. The communication includes wireless communication and infrared communication.

[0046] A door lock device 28 performs locking and unlocking of a driver's seat door, a front passenger's seat door, a rear door, and a tailgate. Locking and unlocking of each door involved in the door lock device 28 can be achieved by an operation of a user who holds the physical key 50 contacting a door handle 13, an operation on the physical key 50, and an operation on the smartphone 14.

[0047] As shown in Figure 2 , the on-vehicle device 11 mounted on the vehicle 12 includes a control ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 20, a digital key control ECU 21, an LF (Low Frequency) communication section 22, an RF (Radio Frequency) communication section 24, a display section 25, a BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy) communication section 26, and an alarm section 27.

[0048] The LF communication section 22 is a communication unit that performs wireless communication in the LF band, and transmits a request signal toward the physical key 50. The LF communication section 22 according to the present embodiment is provided for the driver's seat door, the front passenger's seat door, the rear door, and the tailgate.

[0049] The RF communication section 24 is a communication unit that performs wireless communication in the RF band, and receives a response signal from the physical key 50.

[0050] The BLE communication section 26 is a communication unit that performs wireless communication using Bluetooth (registered trademark), and performs communication with the BLE communication section 14C described later.

[0051] The display unit 25, for example, is provided in the instrument panel, meter panel, etc., and is a liquid crystal monitor used to display the current location, driving route, and images related to attention information.

[0052] The alarm unit 27 is, for example, a speaker, installed in the dashboard, center console, front pillar, front bulkhead, etc.

[0053] The control ECU 20 is configured to include a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 20A, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 20B, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 20C, and an input / output (I / F) 20D. The CPU 20A, ROM 20B, RAM 20C, and I / F 20D are interconnected via an internal bus (not shown) to enable communication.

[0054] CPU20A is the central processing unit, which executes various programs and controls other components. Specifically, CPU20A reads programs from ROM20B and uses RAM20C as its working area to execute the programs.

[0055] ROM20B stores various programs and data.

[0056] RAM20C is used as a working area to temporarily store programs or data.

[0057] The input / output I / F20D is an interface used to communicate with the LF communication unit 22, the RF communication unit 24, the display unit 25, the alarm unit 27, and the door locking device 28, respectively.

[0058] Furthermore, the control ECU 20 may include a storage unit in addition to or in place of the ROM 20B. This storage unit may be, for example, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive).

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in the control ECU20 of this embodiment, the CPU20A functions as the physical key comparison unit 110, the display control unit 112, and the alarm control unit 114 by executing a program.

[0060] The physical key collation section 110 collates the physical key 50 based on the wireless communication with the physical key 50 by the LF communication section 22 and the RF communication section 24, collating the ID of the physical key 50 with the pre-registered ID information. Specifically, the physical key collation section 110 transmits a response request signal to the physical key 50 having the same ID as the pre-registered ID information by the LF communication section 22, and determines that the matching of the physical key 50 is successful in a case where a response signal from the physical key 50 is received by the RF communication section 24.

[0061] In a case where the matching of the physical key 50 is successful, the physical key collation section 110 performs the vehicle control including the locking of the door, the unlocking of the door, the power-on of the vehicle 12, and the engine start of the vehicle 12 based on the wireless communication with the physical key 50 by the LF communication section 22 and the RF communication section 24.

[0062] The display control section 112 controls the display of the display section 25. The alarm control section 114 controls the operation of the alarm involved in the alarm section 27.

[0063] The digital key control ECU 21 is configured to include a CPU 21A, a ROM 21B, a RAM 21C, and an input / output I / F 21D. The CPU 21A, the ROM 21B, the RAM 21C, and the input / output I / F 21D are connected to be communicable with each other via an internal bus not shown. The CPU 23A is one example of a processor, and the RAM 23C is one example of a memory.

[0064] Each function of the CPU 21A, the ROM 21B, the RAM 21C, and the input / output I / F 21D is the same as that of the CPU 20A, the ROM 20B, the RAM 20C, and the input / output I / F 20D described above.

[0065] The information processing program 102 is stored in the ROM 21B of the present embodiment.

[0066] The input / output I / F 21D is an interface for communicating with the BLE communication section 26 and the door locking device 28, respectively.

[0067] Further, the digital key control ECU 21 can include a storage as a storage section in addition to or instead of the ROM 21B. The storage is constituted by, for example, an HDD or an SSD.

[0068] It is difficult to accurately detect whether the smartphone registered with the digital key is in the vehicle by comparison with the physical key. Therefore, in a state where the smartphone registered with the digital key is present in the vehicle, the door of the vehicle can be locked at times, and there is a possibility that the smartphone is forgotten.

[0069] Specifically, the smartphone forms an area with Bluetooth band (2.4 GHz) electric waves. The straightness of the electric waves is high, and it is difficult to form an area covering the entire area inside the vehicle cabin in a vehicle in which there are many metal objects.

[0070] In addition, in the vehicle control using the digital key, the Bluetooth electric waves of the smartphone are used, and the deviation in the electric wave strength between models is large, and it is difficult to form an area covering the entire area inside the vehicle cabin in all models.

[0071] In view of this, in the present embodiment, even in a case where it cannot be confirmed that the smartphone 14 in which the digital key 140 is registered is located inside the vehicle 12, the on-board device 11 causes the alarm to operate when the vibration of the smartphone 14 is not detected within a prescribed time from the locking of the door.

[0072] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 In the digital key control ECU 21 of the present embodiment, the CPU 21A functions as a digital key collating section 120, a confirming section 122, a determining section 124, and an operating section 126 by executing the information processing program 102.

[0073] The digital key collating section 120 performs authentication processing of the digital key by collating the ID of the digital key registered in the smartphone 14 with the ID information registered in advance based on the wireless communication with the smartphone 14 in the BLE communication section 26. In a case where the authentication of the digital key is successful, the digital key collating section 120 performs vehicle control including the locking and unlocking of the door, the power-on of the vehicle 12, and the starting of the engine of the door lock device 28.

[0074] When the door of the vehicle 12 is locked, the confirming section 122 confirms whether or not the smartphone 14 is located inside the vehicle 12. Specifically, when the door is locked by the operation of the user who holds the physical key 50 contacting the door handle 13, the confirming section 122 determines whether or not the smartphone 14 is located inside the vehicle 12 based on the electric wave strength of the Bluetooth electric waves emitted from the smartphone 14 to the vehicle 12.

[0075] In a case where the confirming section 122 does not confirm that the smartphone 14 is located inside the vehicle 12, the determining section 124 determines whether or not the vibration of the smartphone 14 is detected within a prescribed time from the locking of the door. Specifically, in a case where the confirming section 122 does not confirm that the smartphone 14 is located inside the vehicle 12, the determining section 124 determines whether or not the vibration of the smartphone 14 is detected within a prescribed time from the locking of the door based on the vibration information indicating the vibration of the smartphone 14 within the prescribed time from the locking of the door, which is transmitted from the smartphone 14.

[0076] In a case where the vibration of the smartphone 14 is not detected by the determination section 124, the operation section 126 causes the alarm section 27 to operate an alarm. Also, in a case where it is confirmed by the confirmation section 122 that the smartphone 14 is located inside the vehicle 12, the operation section 126 causes the alarm section 27 to operate an alarm. For example, a buzzer that reports the forgetting of the smartphone 14 is sounded by the alarm section 27.

[0077] (Physical Key)

[0078] The physical key 50 is an electronic device that a user of the vehicle 12 can carry. The physical key 50 includes a microcomputer, an LF communication section, and an RF communication section.

[0079] The LF communication section is a communication unit that performs wireless communication in the LF band, and receives a response request signal from the LF communication section 22. The RF communication section is a transmission unit that performs wireless communication in the RF band, and transmits a response signal to the RF communication section 24.

[0080] The microcomputer collates ID information included in the response request signal received from the LF communication section 22 with an ID inherent to the physical key 50, and in the case where they match, transmits a response signal through the RF communication section. Also, if a user operation to an operation section (not shown) provided to the physical key 50 for each of the locking, unlocking of the door of the door locking device 28, the power on of the vehicle 12, and the engine start is accepted, the microcomputer transmits a signal corresponding to the user operation to the RF communication section 24 of the on-vehicle device 11 through the RF communication section.

[0081] (Smartphone)

[0082] The smartphone 14 is a communication terminal held by a user. The smartphone 14 of the present embodiment is configured to accept a user operation for each of the locking, unlocking of the door of the door locking device 28, the power on of the vehicle 12, and the engine start by communication with the on-vehicle device 11 in a case where matching of a registered digital key is successful, and can implement the locking, unlocking of the door of the door locking device 28, the power on of the vehicle 12, and the engine start. As shown in FIG. 1, the smartphone 14 is configured to include a control device 70, a touch panel 14A, a communication section 14B, a BLE communication section 14C, and a vibration sensor 14D. Figure 5

[0083] The control device 70 has, as an example of hardware, a processor, that is, a CPU 72, a ROM 73, a RAM 74, a storage 75, and an input / output I / F 76. The CPU 72, the ROM 73, the RAM 74, the storage 75, and the input / output I / F 76 are connected to each other via a bus 78.

[0084] ​The functions of CPU 72, ROM 73, RAM 74, and I / O 76 are the same as those of CPU 20A, ROM 20B, RAM 20C, and I / O 20D described above. The storage 75 in this embodiment can be either the internal storage of the smartphone 14 or a micro SD card.

[0085] CPU 72 reads the program from ROM 73 and executes the program using RAM 74 as the working area. In this embodiment, digital key 140 is registered in memory 75. ROM 73 stores a vehicle control application program used for vehicle control involving user operations using digital key 140.

[0086] In this embodiment, the control device 70 is connected to a touch panel 14A, a communication unit 14B, a BLE communication unit 14C, and a vibration sensor 14D via an input / output I / F 76. Furthermore, the touch panel 14A, communication unit 14B, BLE communication unit 14C, and vibration sensor 14D can also be directly connected to the bus 78.

[0087] If the vehicle control application is executed, the CPU 72 causes the touch panel 14A to display icons for locking / unlocking the door of the door locking device 28, turning on the power to the vehicle 12, and starting the engine. If the user operates on these icons, a signal indicating the vehicle control corresponding to the operated icon (locking / unlocking the door of the door locking device 28, turning on the power to the vehicle 12, or starting the engine) is sent to the BLE communication unit 26 of the vehicle unit 11 via the BLE communication unit 14C.

[0088] In addition, when the door is locked by the user holding the physical key 50 touching the door handle 13, if a locking completion notification is received from the vehicle 12 via the BLE communication unit 14C, the CPU 72 will send the vibration information of the vibration sensor 14D output within a specified time to the vehicle 12 via the BLE communication unit 14C.

[0089] (Processing flow)

[0090] Next, use Figures 6-8 The flowchart illustrates the processing flow in the vehicle system 10 of this embodiment.

[0091] First, if a user located inside vehicle 12 requests to stop the engine, the CPU 21A of the digital key control ECU 21 of the vehicle unit 11 executes the information processing program 102. Figure 6 , Figure 7 The method shown is to prevent forgetting.

[0092] First, in step S100, the CPU 21A determines whether or not connection is made between the BLE communication section 26 and the BLE communication section 14C of the smartphone 14 with wireless communication using Bluetooth (registered trademark) in the communication. In the case where connection is not made between the BLE communication section 26 and the BLE communication section 14C of the smartphone 14, the CPU 21A ends the prevention of forgetting processing. On the other hand, in the case where connection is made between the BLE communication section 26 and the BLE communication section 14C of the smartphone 14, the CPU 21A moves to step S102. Further, when there is a case where the smartphone 14 is connected even once in the running of the vehicle 12, it can move to step S102.

[0093] In step S102, the CPU 21A requests the display of the notification of the prevention of forgetting of the smartphone 14 to the control ECU 20. Also, the control ECU 20 is controlled to display the notification of the prevention of forgetting of the smartphone 14 by the display section 25. For example, the display section 25 is caused to display the message "Please take the smartphone with you." Further, it can also request the display of the notification of the prevention of forgetting of the smartphone 14 by the smartphone 14, and the touch panel 14A of the smartphone 14 is caused to display the above message. In addition, in the case where matching with the physical key 50 is successful, the notification of the prevention of forgetting of the smartphone 14 can not be displayed.

[0094] In step S104, the CPU 21A determines whether or not a door lock operation is accepted from the user. For example, if the user appears outside the vehicle 12, and a door lock operation of the door using the smartphone 14 or the physical key 50 is accepted by the operation of the user, it moves to step S106. In addition, the vehicle-mounted device 11 locks each door by the door locking device 28.

[0095] In step S106, the CPU 21A determines whether or not the door lock operation accepted in the above step S104 is a door lock operation of the door which becomes an object of the operation of the prevention of forgetting alarm as the confirmation section 122.

[0096] Specifically, the operation of bringing the user holding the physical key 50 into contact with the door handle 13 is taken as the locking operation of the door that becomes the target of the operation of the forgetting prevention alarm, and when the locking operation of the door accepted in the above step S104 is the locking operation of the door that becomes the target of the operation of the forgetting prevention alarm, the CPU 21A moves to step S108. On the other hand, when the locking operation of the door accepted in the above step S104 is not the locking operation of the door that becomes the target of the operation of the forgetting prevention alarm, the CPU 21A ends the forgetting prevention processing. For example, in the case of the locking operation of the door with respect to the physical key 50, the locking operation of the door with respect to the smartphone 14, the locking operation of the door involved with the mechanical key that mechanically locks and unlocks the door locking device 28 built into the physical key 50, the CPU 21A ends the forgetting prevention processing.

[0097] In step S108, the CPU 21A determines whether or not the smartphone 14 is located inside the vehicle 12 as the confirmation section 122 based on the wave intensity of the Bluetooth wave transmitted from the smartphone 14 to the vehicle 12. Specifically, in the case where the wave intensity of the Bluetooth wave transmitted from the smartphone 14 to the vehicle 12 is equal to or less than a threshold value, it is determined that the smartphone 14 is located outside the vehicle 12, and the CPU 21A moves to step S114. On the other hand, in the case where the wave intensity of the Bluetooth wave transmitted from the smartphone 14 to the vehicle 12 is greater than the threshold value, it is determined that the smartphone 14 is located inside the vehicle 12, and moves to step S110.

[0098] In step S110, the CPU 21A requests the control ECU 20 to operate the alarm involved with the alarm section 27 as the operation section 126. Further, the control ECU 20 controls the alarm section 27 to sound a buzzer that reports the forgetting of the smartphone 14.

[0099] In step S112, the CPU 21A requests the unlocking of the door locking device 28. The door locking device 28 performs the unlocking of each door. Then, the CPU 21A moves to step S120.

[0100] In step S114, the CPU 21A sends the locking completion notification to the smartphone 14 through the BLE communication section 26.

[0101] At this time, if the smartphone 14 receives the locking completion notification, the CPU 72 of the smartphone 14 performs the Figure 8 vibration information transmission processing illustrated in FIG. 6 by executing the application program for the vehicle control.

[0102] In step S130, the CPU 72 acquires the output of the vibration sensor 14D, that is, the vibration information.

[0103] In step S132, the CPU 72 determines whether or not a prescribed time has elapsed from the reception of the lock completion notification. In the case where the prescribed time has not elapsed, the CPU 72 returns to the above-described step S130. On the other hand, in the case where the prescribed time has elapsed from the reception of the lock completion notification, the CPU 72 moves to step S134.

[0104] In step S134, the CPU 72 transmits time series data constituted by the vibration information acquired in the above-described step S130 within the prescribed time from the reception of the lock completion notification to the vehicle 12 via the BLE communication section 14C, and ends the vibration information transmission processing.

[0105] Then, in the above-described Figure 6 step S116, the CPU 21A determines, as the determination section 124, whether or not the vibration of the smartphone 14 is detected within a prescribed time from the lock of the door based on the time series data of the vibration information received from the smartphone 14. For example, in the case where the time series data of the vibration information received from the smartphone 14 includes vibration information indicating a vibration of a certain magnitude or greater, it is determined that the vibration of the smartphone 14 is detected within the prescribed time from the lock of the door, and the CPU 21A ends the prevention of forgetting processing. On the other hand, in the case where the time series data of the vibration information received from the smartphone 14 does not include vibration information indicating a vibration of a certain magnitude or greater, it is determined that the vibration of the smartphone 14 is not detected within the prescribed time from the lock of the door, and the CPU 21A moves to step S118.

[0106] In step S118, the CPU 21A requests, as the work section 126, the control ECU 20 to cause the alarm work involving the alarm section 27. Also, the control ECU 20 controls the alarm section 27 to sound a buzzer that reports the forgetting of the smartphone 14.

[0107] In step S120, the CPU 21A determines, as the work section 126, whether or not a certain time has elapsed from the alarm work involving the alarm section 27, or whether or not there is an operation to the physical key 50 or the smartphone 14. In the case where a certain time has elapsed from the alarm work involving the alarm section 27, or there is an operation to the physical key 50 or the smartphone 14, the processing moves to step S122.

[0108] In step S122, the CPU 21A requests, as the work section 126, the control ECU 20 to stop the alarm involving the alarm section 27. Also, the control ECU 20 controls the alarm involving the alarm section 27 to be stopped. Then, the CPU 21A ends the prevention of forgetting processing.

[0109] Next, the use Figure 9The timing chart of FIG. 10 illustrates one example of the flow of the process when the above-described prevention of forgetting processing and the vibration information transmission processing are executed. Here, the case where the user is present outside the vehicle 12, the user holding the physical key 50 performs the operation of contacting the door handle 13, it is determined that the smartphone 14 is not located inside the vehicle 12, and there is no vibration of the smartphone 14 is illustrated as an example.

[0110] First, in step S140, the control ECU 20 and the digital key control ECU 21 cause the locking of the door of the door locking device 28 to be executed in accordance with the operation of the user holding the physical key 50 contacting the door handle 13.

[0111] Then, in step S142, the digital key control ECU 21 transmits the lock completion notification to the smartphone 14.

[0112] In step S144, the digital key control ECU 21 stands by for a prescribed time after the locking of the door.

[0113] In step S146, the digital key control ECU 21 requests the vibration information from the smartphone 14.

[0114] In step S148, the smartphone 14 transmits the time series data of the vibration information.

[0115] In step S150, the digital key control ECU 21 determines whether or not to cause the alarm to operate based on the time series data of the vibration information. Here, since there is no vibration of the smartphone 14, it is determined that the alarm is not caused to operate.

[0116] In step S152, the digital key control ECU 21 requests the control ECU 20 to cause the alarm operation involving the alarm portion 27.

[0117] In step S154, the control ECU 20 controls the buzzer to sound, which reports the forgetting of the smartphone 14, by the alarm portion 27.

[0118] (Summary of the First Embodiment)

[0119] The vehicle 12 of the present embodiment is configured such that, when the door of the vehicle is locked, in the case where it is not confirmed that the smartphone 14 is located inside the vehicle 12, if the vibration of the smartphone 14 is not detected within a prescribed time from when the door is locked, the digital key control ECU 21 causes the alarm to operate. Thereby, even in the case where it is not confirmed that the smartphone 14 in which the digital key is registered is located inside the vehicle 12, since the alarm is caused to operate in the case where the smartphone 14 is considered to be forgotten, the user can be made to notice the forgetting.

[0120] (Modified Example)

[0121] Further, in the present embodiment, a case where the alarm for calling the user's attention to the forgetting of the smartphone 14 is operated in the vehicle 12 is exemplified, but is not limited thereto. For example, the smartphone 14 can operate the alarm for calling the user's attention to the forgetting of the smartphone 14. In this case, the vehicle 12 can request the smartphone 14 to operate the alarm, and the smartphone 14 can operate the alarm through the speaker.

[0122] Further, in the present embodiment, a case where it is determined whether or not the vibration of the smartphone 14 is detected within a predetermined time from the door being locked is exemplified, but is not limited thereto. For example, it can be determined whether or not the movement of the smartphone 14 is detected within a predetermined time from the door being locked. In this case, the movement of the smartphone 14 can be detected based on the change in the strength of the electric wave emitted from the smartphone 14 to the vehicle 12. For example, when the amount of change in the strength of the electric wave emitted from the smartphone 14 to the vehicle 12 within a predetermined time from the door being locked is less than a threshold value, it can be considered that the smartphone 14 is forgotten. On the other hand, when the amount of change in the strength of the electric wave emitted from the smartphone 14 to the vehicle 12 within a predetermined time from the door being locked is equal to or more than the threshold value, it can be considered that the smartphone 14 is located outside the vehicle 12.

[0123] [2nd Embodiment]

[0124] In the 1st embodiment, the on-vehicle device determines whether or not the smartphone is located in the vehicle and operates the alarm. In contrast, in the 2nd embodiment, the point of the smartphone itself determining whether or not the smartphone is located in the vehicle and operating the alarm is different from the 1st embodiment. Hereinafter, the difference from the 1st embodiment will be described. The same reference numerals are attached to the same structures and the description thereof is omitted.

[0125] (Overall Structure)

[0126] As described above Figure 1 , the vehicle system 210 according to the present embodiment includes the vehicle 12, the smartphone 214, and the physical key 50.

[0127] When the door of the vehicle 12 is locked, the digital key control ECU 21 of the on-vehicle device 11 mounted on the vehicle 12 transmits a lock completion notification to the smartphone 214.

[0128] Specifically, when the door is locked by the operation of the user who holds the physical key 50 contacting the door handle 13, the digital key control ECU 21 transmits the lock completion notification to the smartphone 214.

[0129] (Smartphone)

[0130] As Figure 10As shown, the smartphone 214 of this embodiment is configured to include a control device 270, a touch panel 14A, a communication unit 14B, a BLE communication unit 14C, a vibration sensor 14D, and a speaker 214E.

[0131] The control device 270 includes, as an example, a processor (CPU 272), ROM 273, RAM 74, memory 75, and input / output (I / F) 76. The CPU 272, ROM 273, RAM 74, memory 75, and I / F 76 are interconnected via a bus 78.

[0132] The functions of CPU272, ROM273, RAM74 and I / F76 are the same as those of CPU20A, ROM20B, RAM20C and I / F20D mentioned above.

[0133] CPU 272 reads information processing program 273A from ROM 273 and executes information processing program 273A using RAM 74 as the working area. In this embodiment, ROM 273 stores an application program, namely information processing program 273A, for vehicle control related to user operations using digital key 140.

[0134] like Figure 11 As shown, the CPU 272 functions as the confirmation unit 212, the determination unit 213, and the working unit 216 by executing the information processing program 273A.

[0135] When the door of vehicle 12 is locked, the verification unit 212 verifies whether the smartphone 214 is inside vehicle 12. Specifically, when the door is locked by a user holding the physical key 50 touching the door handle 13, the verification unit 122 determines whether the smartphone 214 is inside vehicle 12 based on the intensity of the Bluetooth waves emitted from vehicle 12 to smartphone 214.

[0136] If the verification unit 212 fails to confirm that the smartphone 214 is inside the vehicle 12, the determination unit 213 determines whether vibration of the smartphone 214 has been detected within a predetermined time since the door was locked. Specifically, if the verification unit 122 fails to confirm that the smartphone 214 is inside the vehicle 12, the determination unit 213 determines whether vibration of the smartphone 214 has been detected within a predetermined time since the door was locked based on vibration information indicating the vibration of the smartphone 214 within a predetermined time since the door was locked.

[0137] If the determination unit 213 does not detect vibration of the smartphone 214, the operation unit 216 activates the alarm connected to the speaker 214E. Additionally, if the confirmation unit 212 confirms that the smartphone 214 is inside the vehicle 12, the operation unit 216 activates the alarm connected to the speaker 214E. For example, the buzzer reporting that the smartphone 214 has been forgotten is sounded via the speaker 214E.

[0138] (Processing flow)

[0139] Next, use Figure 12 , Figure 13 The flowchart illustrates the processing flow in the vehicle system 210 of this embodiment. Processes identical to those in the first embodiment are labeled with the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0140] First, if a user located inside vehicle 12 requests to stop the engine, the CPU21A of the digital key control ECU21 of the on-board unit 11 executes a program to perform the operation. Figure 12 The lockout completion notification shown is processed.

[0141] First, in step S100, CPU 21A determines whether a wireless communication connection using Bluetooth (registered trademark) is established between BLE communication unit 26 and BLE communication unit 14C of smartphone 214. If no connection is established between BLE communication unit 26 and BLE communication unit 14C of smartphone 214, CPU 21A terminates the lockout completion notification process. On the other hand, if a connection is established between BLE communication unit 26 and BLE communication unit 14C of smartphone 214, CPU 21A proceeds to step S102.

[0142] In step S102, CPU 21A requests control ECU 20 to display a notification to prevent forgetting smartphone 214. Furthermore, control ECU 20 controls the display unit 25 to show the notification. Alternatively, smartphone 214's touch panel 14A can display the message upon request.

[0143] In step S104, CPU 21A determines whether a door locking operation has been initiated by the user. For example, if a user is outside vehicle 12 and a door locking operation using smartphone 214 or physical key 50 is initiated based on the user's operation, the process proceeds to step S106. Additionally, the vehicle unit 11 locks each door via door locking device 28.

[0144] In step S106, the CPU 21A determines whether or not the door locking operation accepted in the above step S104 is a door locking operation that becomes a target of the operation of the forgetting prevention alarm. The forgetting prevention alarm is an alarm that is sounded when the user who has forgotten to lock the door is located in the vehicle 12. The forgetting prevention alarm is sounded when the user who has forgotten to lock the door is located in the vehicle 12. The forgetting prevention alarm is sounded when the user who has forgotten to lock the door is located in the vehicle 12. The forgetting prevention alarm is sounded when the user who has forgotten to lock the door is located in the vehicle 12.

[0145] Specifically, the operation in which the user who holds the physical key 50 comes into contact with the door handle 13 is taken as a door locking operation that becomes a target of the operation of the forgetting prevention alarm, and when the door locking operation accepted in the above step S104 is a door locking operation that becomes a target of the operation of the forgetting prevention alarm, the CPU 21A proceeds to step S208. On the other hand, when the door locking operation accepted in the above step S104 is not a door locking operation that becomes a target of the operation of the forgetting prevention alarm, the CPU 21A ends the lock completion notification processing. For example, in the case of a door locking operation with respect to the physical key 50, a door locking operation with respect to the smartphone 214, or a door locking operation involving a mechanical key that mechanically locks and unlocks the door locking device 28 built into the physical key 50, the CPU 21A ends the lock completion notification processing.

[0146] In step S208, the CPU 21A transmits a lock completion notification to the smartphone 214 via the BLE communication section 26.

[0147] At this time, if the smartphone 214 receives the lock completion notification, the CPU 272 of the smartphone 214 causes the application program for vehicle control to operate as a forgetting prevention processing illustrated in FIG. 8. Figure 13

[0148] First, in step S210, the CPU 272 determines whether or not the smartphone 214 is located inside the vehicle 12 as a confirmation section 212 based on the wave intensity of the Bluetooth wave transmitted from the vehicle 12 to the smartphone 214. Specifically, in the case where the wave intensity of the Bluetooth wave transmitted from the vehicle 12 to the smartphone 214 is equal to or less than a threshold value, it is determined that the smartphone 214 is located outside the vehicle 12, and the CPU 272 proceeds to step S216. On the other hand, in the case where the wave intensity of the Bluetooth wave transmitted from the vehicle 12 to the smartphone 214 is greater than the threshold value, it is determined that the smartphone 214 is located inside the vehicle 12, and the process proceeds to step S212.

[0149] In step S212, the CPU 272 causes the alarm involving the speaker 214E to operate as an operation section 216. For example, a buzzer that reports forgetting of the smartphone 214 is sounded by the speaker 214E.

[0150] ​In step S214, the CPU 272 requests unlocking of the door locking device 28 through the BLE communication section 14C. The door locking device 28 performs unlocking of each door. Then, the CPU 272 moves to step S220.

[0151] In step S216, the CPU 272 acquires the output of the vibration sensor 14D, that is, vibration information, from when the locking completion notification is received until a prescribed time elapses, and determines whether or not vibration of the smartphone 214 is detected within the prescribed time from when locking of the door is performed, on the basis of time series data constituted by the acquired vibration information. For example, in a case where the time series data of the acquired vibration information includes vibration information indicating vibration of a size or more, it is determined that vibration of the smartphone 214 is detected within the prescribed time from when locking of the door is performed, and the CPU 272 ends the forgetting prevention processing. On the other hand, in a case where the time series data of the acquired vibration information does not include vibration information indicating vibration of a size or more, it is determined that vibration of the smartphone 214 is not detected within the prescribed time from when locking of the door is performed, and the CPU 272 moves to step S218.

[0152] In step S218, the CPU 272 causes the buzzer involved in the alarm operation of the speaker 214E to sound, as the operation section 216, to report forgetting of the smartphone 214.

[0153] In step S220, the CPU 272 determines whether or not a prescribed time has elapsed from the alarm operation of the speaker 214E, or whether or not there is an operation to the smartphone 214, as the operation section 216. In a case where a prescribed time has elapsed from the alarm operation of the speaker 214E, or there is an operation to the smartphone 214, the processing moves to step S222.

[0154] In step S222, the CPU 272 causes the alarm of the speaker 214E to stop, as the operation section 216. Then, the CPU 272 ends the forgetting prevention processing.

[0155] Next, one example of the flow of processing in a case where the above-described locking completion notification processing and forgetting prevention processing are performed will be described using the timing chart of Figure 14 Here, a case where the user is present outside the vehicle 12, the user holding the physical key 50 performs an operation of coming into contact with the door handle 13, it is determined that the smartphone 214 is not located inside the vehicle 12, and there is no vibration of the smartphone 214 will be described as an example.

[0156] First, in step S230, the control ECU 20 and the digital key control ECU 21 cause locking of the doors of the door locking device 28 to be performed in accordance with the operation of the user holding the physical key 50 coming into contact with the door handle 13.

[0157] Then, in step S232, the digital key control ECU 21 transmits a lock completion notification to the smartphone 214.

[0158] In step S234, the smartphone 214 acquires vibration information from when the door is locked until a prescribed time elapses.

[0159] In step S236, the smartphone 214 determines whether or not to operate the alarm based on the time series data of the vibration information. Here, since there is no vibration of the smartphone 214, it is determined to operate the alarm.

[0160] In step S238, the smartphone 214 operates the alarm involved with the speaker 214E, and the buzzer that reports the forgetting of the smartphone 214 sounds.

[0161] (Summary of the Second Embodiment)

[0162] The smartphone 214 of the present embodiment is configured such that when the door of the vehicle is locked, in a case where it is not confirmed that the smartphone 214 is located in the vehicle 12, if the vibration of the smartphone 214 is not detected within a prescribed time from when the door is locked, the control device 270 operates the alarm. Thereby, even in a case where it is not confirmed that the smartphone 214 in which the digital key is registered is located in the vehicle 12, since the alarm is operated in a case where the smartphone 214 is considered to be forgotten, the user can be made to notice the forgetting.

[0163] (Modified Example)

[0164] Further, in the present embodiment, a case where the alarm that makes the user notice the forgetting of the smartphone 214 is operated in the smartphone 214 is exemplified and described, but is not limited thereto. For example, the vehicle 12 can operate the alarm that makes the user notice the forgetting of the smartphone 214. In this case, the vehicle 12 can be requested to operate the alarm from the smartphone 214, and the vehicle 12 can operate the alarm involved with the alarm portion 27. By operating the alarm on the vehicle 12 side, compared to a case where the alarm is operated on the smartphone 214 side, it is easier to make the user notice the forgetting.

[0165] In addition, in the present embodiment, the case where it is determined whether or not the vibration of the smartphone 214 is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked is described as an example, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, it can be determined whether or not the movement of the smartphone 214 is detected within a predetermined time from when the door is locked. In this case, the movement of the smartphone 214 can be detected based on the change in the strength of the electric wave emitted from the vehicle 12 to the smartphone 214. For example, in a case where the amount of change in the strength of the electric wave emitted from the vehicle 12 to the smartphone 214 within a predetermined time from when the door is locked is less than a threshold value, it can be considered that the smartphone 214 is forgotten. On the other hand, in a case where the amount of change in the strength of the electric wave emitted from the vehicle 12 to the smartphone 214 within a predetermined time from when the door is locked is equal to or more than a threshold value, it can be considered that the smartphone 214 is located outside the vehicle 12.

[0169] In addition, in each of the above-described embodiments, the case where the physical key 50 performs wireless communication in the LF band and the RF band with the on-vehicle device 11 is described as an example, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the physical key 50 can perform wireless communication with the on-vehicle device 11 using Bluetooth (registered trademark), NFC, or UWB (Ultra Wide Band).

[0170] In addition, in each of the above-described embodiments, the case where the smartphone 14, 214 performs wireless communication with the on-vehicle device 11 using Bluetooth (registered trademark) is described as an example, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the smartphone 14, 214 can perform wireless communication with the on-vehicle device 11 using NFC or UWB.

[0171] In the above-described embodiments, the case where the vehicle 12 is a vehicle that drives by causing an engine to operate using gasoline as a power source has been described as an example, but the present technology is not limited thereto. The vehicle 12 can also be a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), a battery electric vehicle (BEV), or the like.

[0172] Further, the various processes described in the above-described embodiments that are read in and executed by the CPUs 21A, 272 can also be executed by various processors other than CPUs. As the processor in this case, a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or the like that can change the circuit structure after manufacture, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), or the like that is designed to have a dedicated circuit structure in order to execute a specific process, that is, a dedicated circuit, or the like can be exemplified. In addition, the various processes can be executed by one of these various processors, or can be executed by a combination of two or more processors of the same kind or different kinds (for example, a plurality of FPGAs, a combination of a CPU and an FPGA, or the like). In addition, the hardware configuration of these various processors is more specifically a circuit that is combined with circuit elements such as semiconductor elements.

[0173] In addition, in the above-described embodiments, the case where each program is stored (installed) in advance in a non-transitory recording medium that is readable by a computer has been described as an example. For example, in the in-vehicle device 11, the information processing program 102 is stored in advance in the ROM 21B. In addition, for example, in the smartphone 214, the information processing program 273A is stored in advance in the ROM 273. However, the present technology is not limited thereto, and each program can be provided in a manner in which it is recorded in a non-transitory recording medium such as a Compact Disc Read Only Memory (CD-ROM), a Digital Versatile Disc Read Only Memory (DVD-ROM), and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory.
