[0001] The present disclosure relates to an information processing device. Background Art

[0002] The following techniques are known: in response to detecting the presence of an infant in a vehicle when the vehicle is not in use, adjusting the temperature inside the vehicle by a remote air conditioner; and performing cooling control when the temperature inside the vehicle is above a specified value. The following technique is known: in response to detecting the presence of an infant in a vehicle when the vehicle is not in use, opening a window to promote ventilation (for example, refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2021-183467). Summary of the Invention

[0003] An object of the present disclosure is to suppress an increase in the temperature inside a vehicle when someone remains in a rear seat of the vehicle.

[0004] One aspect of the present disclosure is an information processing device including a control unit configured to execute: in response to someone being present in a rear seat of a parked vehicle, operating a remote air conditioner of the vehicle; and when the remote air conditioner of the vehicle has been operated, opening a window of the vehicle in response to a remaining battery level of the vehicle becoming equal to or less than a specified amount.

[0005] The present disclosure may also be understood as an information processing method in which a computer executes the processing of the above information processing device. Further, the present disclosure may also be understood as an information processing program for causing a computer to execute the above information processing method or a non-transitory storage medium storing the information processing program.

[0006] According to the present disclosure, when someone remains in a rear seat of a vehicle, an increase in the temperature inside the vehicle can be suppressed. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0007] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, features, advantages, and technical and industrial significance of exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described, in which the same reference numerals denote the same elements, where:

[0008] Figure 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a system according to a first embodiment.

[0009] Figure 2 is a block diagram schematically showing an example of configurations of a vehicle, a user terminal, and a server constituting the system according to the first embodiment.

[0010] Figure 3 is a flowchart showing processing in a server according to the first embodiment.

[0011] Figure 4 is a flowchart showing processing in a server according to a second embodiment. Detailed implementation mode

[0012] When there are people, such as infants, in the rear seats of the vehicle, it is considered to operate the remote air conditioner to suppress the temperature rise inside the vehicle. However, in the case of a battery electric vehicle (BEV), when the remaining battery power reaches 0, the remote air conditioner stops, and then the temperature inside the vehicle rises.

[0013] In contrast, the control unit included in the information processing device, which is one of the aspects of the present disclosure, operates the remote air conditioner of the vehicle in response to the presence of people in the rear seats of the parked vehicle. Thereby, the temperature rise inside the vehicle is suppressed. Moreover, when the remote air conditioner of the vehicle has been operated, the control unit opens the window of the vehicle in response to the remaining battery power of the vehicle becoming less than or equal to a specified amount. The specified amount here is the electric energy required to at least open the window. The window can be opened in a fully open manner or in a specified opening degree. This opening degree can also be, for example, an opening degree that can suppress intrusion from the outside into the vehicle. In this way, the remote air conditioner can be operated as much as possible in advance to maintain the interior environment well. In addition, by opening the window when the remaining battery power becomes less than or equal to the specified amount, even if the remote air conditioner stops later, ventilation can be promoted, so the temperature rise inside the vehicle can be suppressed.

[0014] Hereinafter, the detailed implementation mode of the present disclosure will be described based on the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the hardware configuration, module configuration, functional configuration, etc. described in the following implementation modes are not intended to limit the technical scope of the disclosure only thereto.

[0015] First Embodiment

[0016] Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic configuration diagram of the system 1 according to the first embodiment. The system 1 is a system that can remotely operate the air conditioner (hereinafter referred to as the air conditioner) of the vehicle 10. In addition, the system 1 is a system that can open and close the window 10A of the vehicle 10 by remote operation. The window 10A that is opened and closed by remote operation is, for example, a window on the rear seat side, but is not limited thereto. For example, it can also be a window on the driver's seat or passenger seat side, a window on the trunk side, or all the windows included in the vehicle 10.

[0017] In Figure 1In the example shown, system 1 is configured to include vehicle 10, user terminal 20, and server 30. User terminal 20 is a portable terminal held by the user. In addition, vehicle 10 is a vehicle associated with user terminal 20. There may be multiple vehicles 10 and user terminals 20 respectively. In addition, server 30 may also be composed of multiple servers. Vehicle 10, user terminal 20, and server 30 are interconnected via network N1. It should be noted that network N1 is, for example, a worldwide public communication network such as the Internet, and a WAN (Wide Area Network), or other communication networks may also be used. In addition, network N1 may also include a telephone communication network such as a mobile phone, and a wireless communication network such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

[0018] Figure 2 is a block diagram schematically showing an example of the configurations of vehicle 10, user terminal 20, and server 30 that constitute system 1 of the first embodiment. Server 30 can be configured as a computer having a processor (such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)), a main storage device (such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a ROM (Read Only Memory)), and an auxiliary storage device (such as an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), a hard disk drive, and a removable medium). An operating system (OS: Operating System), various programs, various tables, etc. are stored in the auxiliary storage device. By executing the programs stored in this auxiliary storage device, various functions (software modules) consistent with a specified purpose, as described later, can be realized. However, part or all of the modules may also be realized as hardware modules by hardware circuits such as ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) and FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays).

[0019] Server 30 has a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a communication module 33. Control unit 31 is an arithmetic unit that realizes various functions of server 30 by executing specified programs. Control unit 31 can be realized, for example, by a hardware processor such as a CPU. In addition, control unit 31 may also be configured to include a RAM, a ROM, a cache memory, etc. Details of control unit 31 will be described later.

[0020] The storage unit 32 is a component that stores information and is composed of storage media such as RAM, disk, and flash memory. Programs executed by the control unit 31, data used by the programs, etc. are stored in the storage unit 32. In addition, a database (Vehicle Information DB (Data Base) 321) is constructed in the storage unit 32. The control unit 31 acquires information related to the vehicle 10 (hereinafter also referred to as vehicle information). The vehicle information is information for binding the vehicle 10 to the user terminal 20. The vehicle information stores: a vehicle ID, which is an identifier unique to the vehicle 10; a user ID, which is an identifier unique to the user; and a user terminal ID, which is an identifier unique to the user terminal 20. This information is registered in the server 30 by the user in advance using the user terminal 20. When the control unit 31 acquires the vehicle information, the control unit 31 stores the vehicle information in the Vehicle Information DB 321. In addition, the detection values of sensors sent from the vehicle 10 and information related to the state of the vehicle 10 are also stored in the storage unit 32.

[0021] The communication module 33 is a communication interface for connecting the server 30 to the network N1. The communication module 33 can be configured to include, for example, a network interface board, a wireless communication interface for wireless communication, etc. The server 30 can perform data communication with the vehicle 10 and the user terminal 20 via the communication module 33.

[0022] The vehicle 10 is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) equipped with an electric motor. The vehicle 10 includes a control unit 101, a storage unit 102, a communication module 103, a position information sensor 104, and a power switch 105. The vehicle 10 includes a battery 106, an air conditioner 107, an outside air temperature sensor 108, a window actuator 109, a door lock 110, and a camera 111. These components are interconnected via a CAN (Controller Area Network) bus, which is an in-vehicle network. It should be noted that these components can also be components such as a DCM (Data Communication Module), a head unit, a navigation system, an air conditioning system, and a driving system.

[0023] The control unit 101 can be implemented by a hardware processor such as a CPU, for example. In addition, the control unit 101 can also be configured to include a RAM, a ROM (Read Only Memory), a cache memory, etc. The storage unit 102 is a component that stores information and is composed of storage media such as RAM, disk, and flash memory. Programs executed by the control unit 101, data used by the programs, etc. are stored in the storage unit 102.

[0024] The communication module 103 is a communication component for connecting the vehicle 10 to the network N1. In the present embodiment, the vehicle 10 can utilize mobile communication services such as 3G, LTE (Long Term Evolution), 5G, 6G, etc. and communicate with other devices (e.g., the server 30) via the network N1. The position information sensor 104 acquires the position information (e.g., latitude, longitude) of the vehicle 10 at a prescribed cycle. The position information sensor 104 is, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, a wireless communication unit, or the like. The power switch 105 is a switch that is pressed by the user to start the vehicle 10 or stop the functions of the vehicle 10. Each time the user presses the power switch 105, it switches between power-on and power-off. The power-on state is the state where the vehicle 10 is started and is the state where the vehicle 10 can travel. The power-off state is the state where the functions of the vehicle 10 stop and is the state where the vehicle 10 cannot travel (the parked state). It should be noted that even in the power-off state, devices such as the remote air conditioner can operate.

[0025] The battery 106 is a secondary battery that supplies power to the electric motor for driving the vehicle 10, the air conditioner 107, the window actuator 109, and the like. The battery 106 is charged by an external power source. The air conditioner 107 is a device that operates using the power supplied from the battery 106 to adjust the temperature inside the vehicle 10. The outside air temperature sensor 108 is a sensor that detects the temperature outside the vehicle 10. The window actuator is an actuator for opening and closing the window 10A and is typically an electric motor.

[0026] The door lock 110 is a device for locking / unlocking the doors of the vehicle 10. The door lock 110 is configured to be able to lock / unlock the doors of the vehicle 10 through a remote operation from outside the vehicle 10. The camera 111 is a device that uses an imaging element such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor to take pictures. The image obtained by taking pictures can be either a still image or a moving image. The camera 111 is installed inside the vehicle and is configured to take pictures of at least the rear seats.

[0027] The control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 acquires the position information obtained by the position information sensor 104, the remaining battery level of the battery 106, etc. at regular intervals, binds them with the vehicle ID, and sends them to the server 30. In addition, when the power switch 105 is pressed and the power is cut off, and the doors are locked by the door lock 110 through remote operation from outside the vehicle 10, the control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 sends parking information indicating that the vehicle 10 has been parked to the server 30. The parking information includes image data obtained by photographing the rear seat of the vehicle 10 with the camera 111. It should be noted that the parking information may further include information related to the outside air temperature detected by the outside air temperature sensor 108. The control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 takes as a trigger that the power switch 105 is pressed and the vehicle 10 is in a power-off state, and the doors are locked by the door lock 110 through remote operation from outside the vehicle 10, and photographs the rear seat of the vehicle 10 with the camera 111. Then, the control unit 101 sends the image data obtained at this time to the server 30.

[0028] In addition, when the control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 receives an instruction to operate the remote air conditioner from the server 30, the control unit 101 operates the air conditioner 107. In addition, when the control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 receives an instruction to stop the operation of the remote air conditioner from the server 30, the control unit 101 stops the operation of the air conditioner 107. In addition, when the control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 receives an instruction to open the window 10A from the server 30, the control unit 101 operates the window actuator 109 to open the window 10A.

[0029] The user terminal 20 is a terminal used by the user of the vehicle 10, such as a smart phone, a tablet terminal, a wearable terminal, or a PC (Personal Computer). For example, an application software capable of remotely operating the air conditioner of the vehicle 10 is installed in the user terminal 20. The user terminal 20 includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, a communication module 23, and a touch panel 24. The control unit 21, the storage unit 22, and the communication module 23 of the user terminal 20 have the same configuration as the control unit 101, the storage unit 102, and the communication module 103 of the vehicle 10. The touch panel 24 is a device that accepts input from the user and presents information to the user. For example, the touch panel 24 is a touch panel display configured to include an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an EL (Electroluminescence) panel, etc.

[0030] In addition, when the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 receives a notification from the server 30 that someone is staying in the rear seat of the vehicle 10, the control unit 21 causes the touch panel 24 to display an image corresponding to the notification. After that, when a prescribed input is made at the touch panel 24, the control unit 21 sends information corresponding to the input to the server 30.

[0031] When the control unit 31 of the server 30 receives parking information from the vehicle 10, the control unit 31 analyzes the image data included in the parking information to determine whether there is someone in the rear seat. It should be noted that in this analysis, well-known image analysis techniques can be used. In response to determining that there is someone in the rear seat, the control unit 31 obtains the remaining power of the battery 106 of the vehicle 10. And it determines whether the remaining power is more than a prescribed amount. The prescribed amount is the remaining power that can make the window actuator 109 operate to open the window 10A. In response to determining that the remaining power of the vehicle 10 is more than the prescribed amount, the control unit 31 makes the remote air conditioner operate. Thus, the temperature rise inside the vehicle is suppressed. In addition, after making the remote air conditioner operate, when the remaining power of the battery 106 becomes less than or equal to the prescribed amount, an instruction to make the window actuator 109 operate to open the window 10A is sent to the vehicle 10. It should be noted that even when the vehicle 10 is powered off, information related to the remaining power of the battery 106 is sent to the server 30 at regular intervals during the operation of the remote air conditioner. In this way, in a situation where it may become difficult to continue operating the remote air conditioner, ventilation inside the vehicle can be promoted by opening the window 10A. Thus, the temperature rise inside the vehicle can be suppressed. That is, the remote air conditioner is made to operate as much as possible in advance until the remaining power of the battery 106 is about to run out. Thus, the interior environment of the vehicle can be maintained well, and the window 10A can be opened when the remaining power of the battery 106 is about to run out, thereby suppressing the subsequent temperature rise inside the vehicle.

[0032] Figure 3 It is a flowchart showing the processing in the server 30 of the first embodiment. Figure 3 The shown flowchart is executed at regular intervals in the server 30. It should be noted that the description is made on the premise that the required information is stored in the vehicle information DB 321.

[0033] In S101, the control unit 31 determines whether parking information is received from the vehicle 10. If the control unit 31 makes an affirmative determination in S101, the process proceeds to S102. If the control unit 31 makes a negative determination in S101, this routine ends. In S102, the control unit 31 determines whether the outside air temperature detected by the outside air temperature sensor 108 of the vehicle 10 is equal to or higher than a specified temperature. Information related to the outside air temperature detected by the outside air temperature sensor 108 is included in the parking information. The specified temperature is a temperature at which the temperature of the vehicle 10 may rise if the air conditioner 107 is not operated. When the outside air temperature is low, the rise in the vehicle interior temperature is suppressed even if the remote air conditioner is not operated. Therefore, in such a case, there is no need to operate the remote air conditioner. Thus, the outside air temperature being equal to or higher than the specified temperature is set as a working condition for the remote air conditioner. It should be noted that the process of S102 can also be omitted. In the case where the process of S102 is omitted, information related to the outside air temperature detected by the outside air temperature sensor 108 may not be included in the parking information. If the control unit 31 makes an affirmative determination in S102, the process proceeds to S103. If the control unit 31 makes a negative determination in S102, this routine ends.

[0034] In S103, the control unit 31 analyzes the image data included in the parking information. In S104, the control unit 31 determines whether there is a person in the rear seat of the vehicle 10 based on the analysis result in S103. In the processes of S103 and S104, known processes for extracting a person from the image data can be used. If the control unit 31 makes an affirmative determination in S104, the process proceeds to S105. If the control unit 31 makes a negative determination in S104, this routine ends.

[0035] In S105, the control unit 31 refers to the storage unit 32 to obtain the remaining power of the battery 106. It should be noted that the remaining power of the battery 106 is sent by the control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 to the server 30 at regular intervals. And the control unit 31 of the server 30 previously causes the storage unit 32 to store the received remaining power of the battery 106. The control unit 31 refers to the storage unit 32 to obtain the latest remaining power of the battery 106. It should be noted that, as another example, it may also be that the control unit 31 asks the vehicle 10 about the remaining power of the battery 106. In S106, the control unit 31 determines whether the remaining power of the battery 106 obtained in S105 is equal to or less than a specified amount. The specified amount can also be set to a value as close to 0 as possible so that the remote air conditioner can operate as much as possible and the window 10A can be opened. If the control unit 31 makes an affirmative determination in S106, the process proceeds to S107. If the control unit 31 makes a negative determination in S106, the process proceeds to S108.

[0036] In S107, the control unit 31 sends a window opening instruction to the vehicle 10 as an instruction to open the window 10A. The control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 that has received this instruction operates the window actuator 109 to open the window 10A. At this time, the control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 can set the window 10A to fully open, can also set the window 10A to half open, or can also set the opening degree of the window 10A such that a hand cannot reach into the vehicle from the outside. When the window 10A is set to fully open, ventilation inside the vehicle can be further promoted. On the other hand, by setting the opening degree of the window 10A such that a hand cannot reach into the vehicle from the outside, intrusion by a third party into the vehicle can be suppressed. It should be noted that the window opening instruction may also include an instruction to stop the remote air conditioner. Also, the control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 that has received the window opening instruction can also stop the remote air conditioner and open the window 10A. It should be noted that in S107, it may also be that the control unit 31 sends a window opening instruction to the vehicle 10 and notifies the user terminal 20 that the window has been opened.

[0037] On the other hand, in S108, the control unit 31 sends a remote air conditioner operation instruction to the vehicle 10 as an instruction to operate the remote air conditioner. The control unit 101 of the vehicle 10 that has received the remote air conditioner operation instruction operates the remote air conditioner. It should be noted that when the remote air conditioner is already operating, the operation of the remote air conditioner continues in the vehicle 10. When the process of S108 is completed, the process returns to S105. It should be noted that in S108, it may also be that the control unit 31 sends an instruction to operate the remote air conditioner to the vehicle 10 and notifies the user terminal 20 that the remote air conditioner has been operated.

[0038] As described above, according to the present embodiment, even when parking is performed with someone remaining in the rear seat of the vehicle 10, the remote air conditioner operates, so that an increase in the temperature inside the vehicle can be suppressed. In addition, when it becomes difficult to continue operating the remote air conditioner, ventilation can be promoted by opening the window 10A. Thus, the remote air conditioner can be made to operate as much as possible, and even when the remote air conditioner stops, ventilation can be performed. Therefore, an increase in the temperature inside the vehicle can be suppressed.

[0039] Second Embodiment

[0040] In this embodiment, before operating the remote air conditioner, the user terminal 20 is notified that someone has stayed. And, in the case where there is no response to this notification from the user terminal 20, the remote air conditioner is operated. That is, in the case where there is no response from the user even when the user is notified that someone has stayed in the rear seat of the vehicle 10, the degree of emergency is considered to be high, and thus the control unit 31 operates the remote air conditioner. For example, a notification that someone has stayed in the rear seat, an image captured by the camera 111, and an inquiry about whether to operate the remote air conditioner may be sent to the user terminal 20.

[0041] Figure 4 It is a flowchart showing the processing in the server 30 of the second embodiment. Figure 4 The flowchart shown is executed in the server 30 at regular intervals. It should be noted that the description is made on the premise that the required information is stored in the vehicle information DB 321. In addition, for the steps of executing the same processing as the Figure 3 routine shown, the same reference numerals are marked and the description is omitted.

[0042] In Figure 4 the flowchart shown, when the control unit 31 makes an affirmative determination in S104, the process proceeds to S201. In S201, the control unit 31 sends an inquiry to the user terminal 20 about whether to operate the remote air conditioner. The control unit 31 extracts the user ID corresponding to the vehicle ID of the vehicle 10 that has received the parking information from the vehicle information DB 321. Then, the control unit 31 sends an inquiry to the user terminal 20 bound to the user ID. This inquiry may also include a notification that someone has stayed in the rear seat and an image captured by the camera 111. This inquiry can be made either by a push notification or by email. The control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 that has received this inquiry causes the touch panel 24 to display a notification that someone has stayed in the rear seat, an image captured by the camera 111, and an inquiry about whether to operate the remote air conditioner. In addition, for example, the touch panel 24 is caused to display a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for selecting an answer to the inquiry in a manner that allows the user to input an answer to the inquiry. The GUI is, for example, a selection button that displays each statement such as "Operate the remote air conditioner" and "Do not operate the remote air conditioner". When the user touches either selection button, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 generates an answer corresponding to the selection button touched by the user and sends it to the server 30.

[0043] In S202, the control unit 31 determines whether an answer is received from the user terminal 20. For example, if an answer from the user terminal 20 is received within a specified time from when the control unit 31 sends an inquiry in S201, the control unit 31 makes an affirmative determination and the process proceeds to S203. The specified time mentioned here is set to the time required for the user to answer. On the other hand, if no answer is received within the specified time, the control unit 31 makes a negative determination and the process proceeds to S105.

[0044] In S203, the control unit 31 determines whether a remote air conditioner operation request is received from the user terminal 20. The remote air conditioner operation request is a request to operate the remote air conditioner and is included in the answer sent from the user terminal 20. If the control unit 31 makes an affirmative determination in S203, the process proceeds to S105. If the control unit 31 makes a negative determination in S203, this routine ends.

[0045] As described above, according to this embodiment, the user can decide whether to operate the remote air conditioner. In the case where there is no answer from the user, the control unit 31 operates the remote air conditioner, so even when the user cannot answer, the temperature rise inside the vehicle can be suppressed.
