DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] In recent years, technology has been developed for remotely controlling a target vehicle from a location away from the target vehicle. An example of remote control is control of opening and closing a retractable roof of a vehicle. For example, when the target vehicle is parked, a user who was in the target vehicle may leave the control vehicle while forgetting to close the retractable roof. In such a case, an information processing device capable of remotely controlling the target vehicle inquires of the user whether or not to close the retractable roof by remote control. Then, when the information processing device receives an instruction to execute control to close the retractable roof from a user who is away from the control vehicle, it executes remote control to close the retractable roof.

[0011] However, even if the retractable roof of a parked vehicle is open, there may be cases where there is no need to close the retractable roof by remote control. If the user is asked whether to close the retractable roof by remote control even though there is no need to close the retractable roof, the user may feel annoyed. The present disclosure has been made in consideration of such problems.

[0012] The information processing device according to the present disclosure is a device that remotely controls a target vehicle having a remotely controllable retractable roof. The information processing device according to the present disclosure includes a control unit. The control unit acquires position information on the parking position of the target vehicle and information on the open / closed state of the retractable roof of the target vehicle. The information processing device may receive this information from the target vehicle. Furthermore, the control unit acquires weather information for the vicinity of the parking position of the target vehicle. At this time, the information processing device may receive weather information for an area identified based on the parking position of the target vehicle from an external server that provides weather information. The weather information includes information indicating whether rain or snow is predicted to occur in the vicinity of the parking position of the target vehicle.

[0013] The control unit also determines whether or not a roof surrounding the target vehicle is present at the parking position when the weather information predicts rainfall or snowfall around the parking position and the retractable roof of the target vehicle is in an open state. In this case, if the weather information predicts a precipitation probability within a predetermined time from the current time in an area specified based on the parking position of the target vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, it may be determined that rainfall or snowfall is predicted around the parking position. The control unit also determines whether or not a roof surrounding the target vehicle is present at the parking position based on the position information of the parking position of the target vehicle. For example, if the parking position of the target vehicle overlaps with the position of a building having a roof on a map, it may be determined that a roof surrounding the target vehicle is present at the parking position.

[0014] Then, when it is determined that there is no roof surrounding the target vehicle at the parking position, the control unit transmits inquiry information. The inquiry information is information for inquiring of the user of the target vehicle as to whether or not to close the retractable roof. Furthermore, when the control unit receives an instruction from the user to execute control to close the retractable roof in response to the inquiry information, the control unit closes the retractable roof of the target vehicle by remote control. This makes it possible to prevent the interior of the target vehicle from getting wet due to rain or snowfall occurring in a situation where there is no roof surrounding the parked target vehicle and the retractable roof of the target vehicle is open.

[0015] On the other hand, even if the retractable roof of the parked target vehicle is open, if there is a roof surrounding the target vehicle, it is possible to prevent the interior of the target vehicle from getting wet due to rain or snow. Therefore, when it is determined that there is a roof surrounding the target vehicle at the parking position, the control unit does not transmit inquiry information. This makes it possible to suppress unnecessary inquiries to the user regarding the remote control of the retractable roof. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to improve the convenience for the user regarding the remote control of the retractable roof of the vehicle.

[0016] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The dimensions, materials, shapes, and relative positions of the components described in the present embodiments are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present disclosure unless otherwise specified.

[0017] <Embodiment> (System Overview) 1 is a diagram showing the flow of information in a remote control system according to this embodiment. The remote control system 1 is a system for remotely controlling a vehicle 10. The remote control system 1 includes the vehicle 10, a management server 100, a user terminal 200, and a weather server 300.

[0018] The vehicle 10 is a vehicle that can be remotely controlled. The vehicle 10 is provided with a sunroof 11 that can be opened and closed by remote control. In this embodiment, the sunroof 11 corresponds to the "opening and closing roof" according to the present disclosure. However, the "opening and closing roof" according to the present disclosure is not limited to a sunroof, and may be the top of an open-top car.

[0019] The vehicle 10 is also equipped with various sensors for detecting the state of the vehicle 10. For example, the vehicle 10 is equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver for acquiring the current position of the vehicle 10. The vehicle 10 is also equipped with a load ( Hereinafter, this may be referred to as the "seat load." A load sensor is installed to detect the seat load.

[0020] The user terminal 200 is a terminal associated with a user of the vehicle 10. The user terminal 200 is held by a user who is not in the vehicle 10. The user is, for example, the owner of the vehicle 10. The user may also be the driver of the vehicle 10 who has parked the vehicle 10 and disembarked from the vehicle 10. The management server 100 is a server device that remotely controls the vehicle 10. The weather server 300 is a server device that provides meteorological information such as a weather forecast.

[0021] 1, only one vehicle 10 is illustrated, but a plurality of vehicles 10 may be remotely controlled by the management server 100. In the present embodiment, the management server 100 corresponds to the "information processing device" according to the present disclosure.

[0022] The vehicle 10, the management server 100, the user terminal 200, and the weather server 300 are connected to each other via a network. Here, the network may be, for example, a WAN (Wide Area Network) which is a public communication network such as the Internet, or a telephone communication network such as a mobile phone. The network may also include a telephone communication network such as a mobile phone, or a wireless communication network such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

[0023] The vehicle 10 transmits vehicle information to the management server 100. Here, the vehicle information is information related to the state of the vehicle 10. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a table configuration of the vehicle information. As shown in Fig. 2, the vehicle information has a vehicle ID field, a date and time field, a position field, a start switch field, a seat load field, and a roof state field.

[0024] In the vehicle ID field, a vehicle ID, which is identification information for identifying the vehicle 10, is input. In the date and time field, a date and time when the vehicle information is transmitted from the vehicle 10 is input. In the position field, position information of the current position of the vehicle 10 is input. In the start switch field, the ON / OFF state of the start switch of the vehicle 10 is input. Specifically, if the start switch of the vehicle 10 is ON, "ON" is input in the start switch field, and if the start switch is OFF, "OFF" is input in the start switch field. In the seat load field, the seat load of each seat of the vehicle 10 detected by the load sensor is input. In the roof state field, the open / closed state of the sunroof 11 is input. Specifically, if the sunroof 11 is open in the parked vehicle 10, "open" is input in the roof state field, and if the sunroof 11 is closed, "closed" is input in the roof state field. The vehicle information may include information indicating the state of the vehicle 10 other than the above.

[0025] The vehicle 10 may transmit vehicle information to the management server 100 at a predetermined cycle. Also, the vehicle 10 may transmit vehicle information to the management server 100 when a predetermined condition is met. Then, when the vehicle 10 is parked and the user is located away from the vehicle 10, the management server 100 executes an inquiry to the user regarding remote control of the vehicle 10, if necessary, based on the vehicle information received from the vehicle 10. Specifically, the management server 100 transmits inquiry information to the user terminal 200. The inquiry information is information for inquiring of the user as to whether or not remote control of the vehicle 10 is required.

[0026] When the user terminal 200 receives the inquiry information from the management server 100, the content of the inquiry is displayed. If the user determines based on the displayed inquiry that it is necessary to execute remote control of the vehicle 10, the user inputs this into the user terminal 200. In this case, an instruction to execute remote control is sent from the user terminal 200 to the management server 100. When the management server 100 receives the instruction to execute remote control from the user terminal 200, it executes the remote control that it has been instructed to execute on the vehicle 10. Specifically, the management server 100 sends a control command for remote control to the vehicle 10. Believe.

[0027] Furthermore, the management server 100 transmits a request to the weather server 300 to provide weather information around the current location of the vehicle 10. When the weather server 300 receives this request, it transmits the weather information around the current location of the vehicle 10. Then, the management server 100 refers to the weather information received from the weather server 300 when determining whether or not to inquire of the user about the remote control of the sunroof 11 of the vehicle 10.

[0028] (Administration Server Configuration) Next, the configuration of the management server 100 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the management server 100. The management server 100 includes a control unit 110, a storage unit 120, and a communication module 130. The control unit 110 has a function of performing arithmetic processing for controlling the management server 100. The control unit 110 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 110 includes a processor such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a main storage device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), and an auxiliary storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory). The CPU is an example of a processor resource. The RAM and ROM are also examples of memory resources. The control unit 110 can execute any information processing based on various programs and various data. However, some or all of the functions of the control unit 110 may be realized by hardware circuits such as ASIC and FPGA.

[0029] The storage unit 120 is configured by any storage device such as a RAM, a ROM, a hard disk drive, or a flash memory. The storage unit 120 may include a removable medium (portable recording medium). Here, the removable medium is, for example, a USB memory, an SD card, or a disk recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD disk, or a Blu-ray disk. The storage unit 120 stores programs executed by the control unit 110 and various data used for executing the programs.

[0030] The storage unit 120 also stores remote control data 121 used to execute a program for remotely controlling the vehicle 10. Furthermore, a map information database (map information DB) 122 and a vehicle information database (vehicle information DB) 123 are constructed in the storage unit 120. Map information of an area including the parking position of the vehicle 10 is stored. The vehicle information DB 123 stores vehicle information received from the vehicle 10. When vehicle information is transmitted from a plurality of vehicles 10 to the management server 100, the vehicle information DB stores vehicle information for each vehicle 10.

[0031] The communication module 130 is a communication interface for connecting the management server 100 to a network. The communication module 130 is, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) interface board or a wireless communication circuit for wireless communication. The management server 100 communicates with the user terminal 200 and the weather server 300 via the communication module 130.

[0032] The weather server 300 is also configured to include a control unit, a storage unit, and a communication module, similar to the management server 100. The user terminal 200 is also configured to include a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a main storage device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), an auxiliary storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a USB memory for connecting the user terminal 200 to a network. The user terminal 200 has a communication interface for communicating with the user. Examples of the user terminal 200 include a smartphone, a tablet computer, a mobile computer, and a wearable computer.

[0033] In this embodiment, the management server 100 does not necessarily have a single physical configuration. For example, the map information DB 122 and the vehicle information DB 123 may be implemented in separate computers that can communicate with each other.

[0034] (Information processing flow) Next, the flow of information processing executed by the management server 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 shows the flow of information processing related to remote control of the sunroof 11 of the vehicle 10 as a control target. Here, it is assumed that the user is present at a location away from the parked vehicle 10. At this time, if the sunroof 11 of the parked vehicle 10 is open, there is a risk that rain or snow will get into the vehicle when rain or snow falls in the area including the parking position. In order to prevent such rain or snow from getting into the vehicle 10, in this embodiment, the management server 100 executes remote control of the sunroof 11 as a control target.

[0035] Furthermore, when "OFF" is entered in the start switch field in the latest vehicle information on the vehicle 10 stored in the vehicle information DB 123, the control unit 110 of the management server 100 determines that the vehicle 10 is currently parked. Furthermore, the control unit 110 of the management server 100 determines whether or not a passenger is present in the vehicle 10 based on the seat load entered in the seat load field in the latest vehicle information on the vehicle 10 stored in the vehicle information DB 123. In other words, when the seat loads on the respective seats of the vehicle 10 are equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, the control unit 110 determines that no passenger is currently present in the vehicle 10. Then, when the control unit 110 determines that the vehicle 10 is currently parked and that no passenger is present in the vehicle 10, it assumes that the user is present at a location away from the parked vehicle 10 and executes the information processing shown in FIG. 4.

[0036] The method of determining that the vehicle 10 is parked is not limited to the above method. For example, it may be determined that the vehicle 10 is parked based on the shift position of the vehicle 10 and the vehicle speed of the vehicle 10. Furthermore, the method of determining that the user is present at a location away from the vehicle 10 is not limited to the above method. For example, it may be determined that the user is present at a location away from the vehicle 10 based on location information of the user terminal 200 carried by the user.

[0037] In this flow, first, in S101, position information of the vehicle 10 (i.e., position information of the parking position of the vehicle 10) is acquired from the latest vehicle information on the vehicle 10 stored in the vehicle information DB 123. Next, in S102, based on the position information of the vehicle 10 acquired in S101, weather information on the vicinity of the parking position of the vehicle 10 is acquired from the weather server 300. At this time, the control unit 110 transmits a request for providing weather information to the weather server 300, and receives the weather information transmitted from the weather server 300 in response to the request.

[0038] Next, in S103, it is determined whether or not rain or snow is predicted to occur around the parking position of the vehicle 10 in the weather information acquired in S102. At this time, if the probability of precipitation within a predetermined time from the current time in the area specified based on the parking position of the vehicle 10 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the control unit 110 determines that rain or snow is predicted to occur around the parking position. Here, if rain or snow is not predicted to occur around the parking position, it is highly likely that remote control (close control) of the sunroof 11 is not necessary. Therefore, if a negative determination is made in S103, the execution of this flow is temporarily terminated. In this case, remote control of the sunroof 11 of the vehicle 10 is not executed.

[0039] On the other hand, if the determination in S103 is affirmative, the process of S104 is executed next. In S104, the open / closed state of the sunroof 11 of the vehicle 10 (i.e., the open / closed state of the sunroof 11 of the parked vehicle 10) is acquired from the latest vehicle information on the vehicle 10 stored in the vehicle information DB 123. Next, in S105, the open / closed state of the sunroof 11 acquired in S104 is Based on this, it is determined whether the sunroof 11 of the parked vehicle 10 is open or not. If the sunroof 11 of the parked vehicle 10 is closed, remote control (closing control) of the sunroof 11 is not necessary. Therefore, if a negative determination is made in S105, the execution of this flow is temporarily terminated, as in the case where a negative determination is made in S103.

[0040] On the other hand, if the result of the determination in S105 is affirmative, the process of S106 is executed next. In S106, it is determined whether or not a roof surrounding the vehicle 10 exists at the parking position. At this time, the control unit 110 acquires a map including the parking position of the vehicle 10 from the map information DB 122. Then, if the parking position of the vehicle 10 overlaps with the position of a building having a roof on the acquired map, the control unit 110 determines that a roof surrounding the vehicle 10 exists at the parking position. Here, if a roof surrounding the vehicle 10 exists at the parking position, even if rain or snow falls while the sunroof 11 of the vehicle 10 is open, the rain or snow will not enter the interior of the vehicle 10. Therefore, remote control (close control) of the sunroof 11 is not required. Therefore, if the result of the determination in S106 is affirmative, the execution of this flow is temporarily terminated, as in the case of ...

[0041] On the other hand, if the result in S106 is negative, the process proceeds to S107. In S107, inquiry information is sent to the user terminal 200. The inquiry information is information for inquiring of the user of the vehicle 10 as to whether or not to execute the closing control of the sunroof 11. When the inquiry information is received from the management server 100 in the user terminal 200, an inquiry as to whether or not to execute the closing control of the sunroof 11 is displayed. If the user determines that it is necessary to execute the closing control of the sunroof 11, the user inputs this to the user terminal 200. In this case, an instruction to execute the closing control of the sunroof 11 is sent from the user terminal 200 to the management server 100. On the other hand, if the user determines that it is not necessary to execute the closing control of the sunroof 11, the instruction to execute the closing control of the sunroof 11 is not sent from the user terminal 200 to the management server 100.

[0042] Therefore, in S108, it is determined whether or not an instruction to execute the close control of the sunroof 11 has been received from the user terminal 200. If a negative determination is made in S108, that is, if an instruction to execute the close control of the sunroof 11 has not been received, execution of this flow is temporarily terminated. In this case, remote control (close control) of the sunroof 11 of the vehicle 10 is not executed. On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in S108, the process of S109 is then executed. In S109, a control command to execute the close control of the sunroof 11 is transmitted to the vehicle 10. When the control command is received from the management server 100 in the vehicle 10, the close control of the sunroof 11 is executed.

[0043] According to the above flow, when the management server 100 receives an instruction from a user to execute control to close the sunroof 11, it closes the sunroof 11 of the vehicle 10 by remote control. This makes it possible to prevent the interior of the vehicle 10 from getting wet due to rain or snowfall occurring in a situation where there is no roof surrounding the parked vehicle 10 and the sunroof 11 of the vehicle 10 is open.

[0044] On the other hand, even if the sunroof 11 of the parked vehicle 10 is open and rain or snow is predicted to occur around the parking position of the vehicle 10, as long as there is a roof surrounding the vehicle 10, no inquiry information is sent from the management server 100 to the user terminal 200. This makes it possible to prevent unnecessary inquiries from being made to the user regarding the remote control of the sunroof 11. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to improve the user's convenience regarding the remote control of the sunroof 11 of the vehicle 10.

[0045] (Modification) A modified example of this embodiment will be described below. In this modified example, a situation detection sensor that detects the situation around the vehicle 10 is provided. Here, the situation detection sensor may be, for example, an in-vehicle camera that captures an image of the surroundings of the vehicle 10. In addition, the situation detection sensor may be, for example, a sonar that detects objects present around the vehicle 10 by emitting ultrasonic waves around the vehicle 10.

[0046] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a table configuration of vehicle information according to a modified example of this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 5, the vehicle information has a surrounding information field in addition to a vehicle ID field, a date and time field, a position field, a start switch field, a seat load field, and a roof state field. In the surrounding information field, surrounding information indicating the surrounding situation of the vehicle 10 detected by a situation detection sensor is input.

[0047] In this modification, the control unit 110 of the management server 100 acquires surrounding information from the latest vehicle information on the vehicle 10 stored in the vehicle information DB 123. The control unit 110 then determines whether or not a roof surrounding the vehicle 10 exists at the parking position of the vehicle 10 based on the acquired surrounding information in addition to the position information of the parking position of the vehicle 10. This makes it possible to more accurately determine whether or not a roof surrounding the vehicle 10 exists at the parking position of the vehicle 10 compared to the case where only the parking position of the vehicle 10 and map information are used. As a result, it becomes possible to more accurately prevent unnecessary inquiries from being made to the user regarding the remote control of the sunroof 11.

[0048] <Other embodiments> The above embodiment is merely an example, and the present disclosure may be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the processes and means described in the present disclosure may be freely combined and implemented as long as no technical contradiction occurs.

[0049] Furthermore, a process described as being performed by one device may be shared and executed by multiple devices. Alternatively, a process described as being performed by different devices may be executed by one device. In a computer system, the hardware configuration (server configuration) by which each function is realized can be flexibly changed.

[0050] The present disclosure can also be realized by supplying a computer program implementing the functions described in the above embodiments to a computer, and having one or more processors of the computer read and execute the program. Such a computer program may be provided to the computer by a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium connectable to the system bus of the computer, or may be provided to the computer via a network. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium includes any type of medium suitable for storing electronic instructions, such as, for example, a magnetic disk (e.g., a floppy disk, a hard disk drive (HDD), etc.), an optical disk (e.g., a CD-ROM, a DVD disk, a Blu-ray disk, etc.), a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), an EPROM, an EEPROM, a magnetic card, a flash memory, or an optical card.
