Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a target management system, a target management method, and a target management program, and particularly to a target management system, a target management method, and a target management program related to the driving distance of a vehicle.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, a safe driving support system that issues necessary alerts at appropriate timings while suppressing the issuance of unnecessary alerts to drivers has been known (Patent Document 1). It determines whether a driver can perform a braking operation at an appropriate timing. Specifically, it is determined from the measurement results of brain wave data whether the driver is aware of the driving behavior that is predicted to be taken in the future, and if not, an alert is issued to the driver. Thus, by using brain wave data, which is biometric information, it is possible to detect a near miss, which is an imminent dangerous event such as a signal oversight caused by careless driving, in a short time with high accuracy.

[0003] In addition, a safe driving support system that provides support during vehicle driving in consideration of the driver's cognitive function has been known (Patent Document 2). The safe driving support system includes a wearable terminal having terminal identification information, and a safe driving support in-vehicle device including a criterion determination unit that presents questions to the driver, calculates a correct answer rate from the answers input by the driver, compares the driver's tolerance information with the correct answer rate, and determines whether the driver is in a drivable state. The tolerance information is a predetermined correct answer rate, and the criterion determination unit determines whether the correct answer rate of the answers input by the driver is equal to or higher than the predetermined correct answer rate. The safe driving support in-vehicle device is connected to a vehicle control unit that controls the vehicle driven by the driver, and controls the operation state of the vehicle based on the determination result of the criterion determination unit.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in the safe driving support systems described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the situation of the driver was detected by a wearable device, brain waves, etc., and the state of the driver was determined based on a predetermined judgment criterion, but it was difficult to arouse the driver's own attention.

[0006] Drivers such as long-distance drivers are constantly exposed to attention, so they tend to accumulate fatigue and become distracted. In particular, in the case of drivers who are accustomed to their work, the sense of tension decreases due to familiarity with driving, increasing the likelihood of accidents and traffic violations. In the logistics industry, a lot of losses and costs such as material damage, injuries and deaths, and insurance costs occur due to troubles such as accidents and violations, and reduction of these has been demanded.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a target management system, a target management method, and a target management program that can maintain and arouse the driver's sense of tension and attention by appropriately setting a target and perform safe driving.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] To solve the above problems, there is provided a target management system including a vehicle terminal provided in a moving body driven by a driver, a management terminal communicating with the vehicle terminal, a first terminal disposed at a first business office, and an avatar stored at the first business office. The system includes a distance calculation unit that receives the moving distance of the moving body, adds it to the total past moving distance driven by the driver, and calculates the current total moving distance; a target determination unit that determines whether the current total moving distance calculated by the distance calculation unit has reached a set target value; and a transmission unit that, when the target determination unit determines that the current total moving distance has reached the target value, transmits arrival data indicating that the target value has been reached from the management terminal to the vehicle terminal, and transmits movement instruction data including an instruction to move the avatar from the first business office to a second business office that is separated from the current total moving distance or less from the first business office to the first terminal.

[0009] The system further includes a reception unit that receives arrival data transmitted from a second terminal of the second business office when the avatar arrives at the second business office.

[0010] The target determination unit determines whether the current total moving distance has reached a final target value that is higher than the target value. When the target determination unit determines that the current total moving distance has reached the final target value, the transmission unit transmits the arrival data indicating that the final target value has been reached to the vehicle terminal, transmits the movement instruction data including an instruction to move the avatar from the second business office to a third business office that is separated from the current total moving distance or less from the second business office to the second terminal, and transmits return instruction data including an instruction to perform a predetermined printing process on the avatar after its arrival and return it to the driver to a third terminal of the third business office.

[0011] When the distance calculation unit receives accident data from the vehicle terminal, it subtracts a predetermined value from the current total moving distance to set an accident flag. When it receives violation data from the vehicle terminal, it subtracts a predetermined value from the current total moving distance to set a violation flag.

[0012] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a target management method comprising a vehicle terminal provided in a moving body driven by a driver, a management terminal communicating with the vehicle terminal, a first terminal disposed at a first business office, and an avatar stored at the first business office. The method includes steps of: receiving a moving distance of the moving body, adding it to the total past moving distance driven by the driver to calculate the current total moving distance; determining whether the calculated current total moving distance has reached a set target value; when the current total moving distance has reached the target value, transmitting arrival data indicating reaching the target value from the management terminal to the vehicle terminal, and transmitting movement instruction data including an instruction to move the avatar from the first business office to a second business office located at a distance not exceeding the current total moving distance from the first business office, from the management terminal to the first terminal; and moving the avatar from the first business office to the second business office.

[0013] Further, the method includes steps of: determining whether the current total moving distance has reached a final target value which is higher than the target value; when the current total moving distance has reached the final target value, transmitting the arrival data indicating reaching the final target value from the management terminal to the vehicle terminal, and transmitting the movement instruction data including an instruction to move the avatar from the second business office to a third business office located at a distance not exceeding the current total moving distance from the second business office, from the management terminal to a second terminal disposed at the second business office; and performing a predetermined printing process on the avatar after its arrival at the third business office and returning it to the driver at the third terminal of the third business office.

[0014] Furthermore, the method includes steps of: when receiving accident data from the vehicle terminal, subtracting a predetermined value from the current total moving distance to set an accident flag; and when receiving violation data from the vehicle terminal, subtracting a predetermined value from the current total moving distance to set a violation flag.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a target management program comprising a vehicle terminal provided in a moving body driven by a driver, a management terminal communicating with the vehicle terminal, a first terminal disposed at a first business office, and an avatar stored at the first business office. The information processing terminal is caused to execute steps of: receiving the moving distance of the moving body; calculating the current total moving distance by adding the received moving distance to the past total moving distance driven by the driver; determining whether the calculated current total moving distance has reached a set target value; when the current total moving distance has reached the target value, transmitting arrival data indicating that the target value has been reached from the management terminal to the vehicle terminal, and transmitting movement instruction data including an instruction to move the avatar from the first business office to a second business office located at a distance not exceeding the current total moving distance from the first business office, from the management terminal to the first terminal.

[0016] Furthermore, the information processing terminal is caused to execute steps of: determining whether the current total moving distance has reached a final target value which is higher than the target value; when the current total moving distance has reached the final target value, transmitting the arrival data indicating that the final target value has been reached from the management terminal to the vehicle terminal, and transmitting the movement instruction data including an instruction to move the avatar from the second business office to a third business office located at a distance not exceeding the current total moving distance from the second business office, from the management terminal to a second terminal disposed at the second business office; and performing a predetermined printing process on the avatar after the arrival of the avatar at the third business office and returning it to the driver, by a third terminal at the third business office.

[0017] Furthermore, the information processing terminal is caused to execute steps of: when receiving accident data from the vehicle terminal, subtracting a predetermined value from the current total moving distance and setting an accident flag; and when receiving violation data from the vehicle terminal, subtracting a predetermined value from the current total moving distance and setting a violation flag.

Advantages of the Invention

[0018] With such a configuration, when the moving body reaches the target distance, the avatar will move between business offices by the target distance. Therefore, the driver of the moving body will be conscious of wishing that the avatar, which is their alter ego, will move to the next business office safely, and will pay attention to safe driving. As a result, in order to drive with consideration so as not to cause accidents or traffic violations consciously, it is possible to reduce various losses and costs such as the number of traffic accidents, human lives, injuries, property damage, and insurance costs. As a result, not only the number of traffic accident victims is reduced, but also the interruption of social life such as sudden work due to the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrator in a serious accident, the breakup of the perpetrator's family, and further, the sudden loss of the driver's labor force on the side of the company to which the perpetrator belongs and the company's response to the victim side, etc. This also leads to a decrease in such cases. In addition, it is possible to reduce the cases of suffering such as trauma remaining in both the traffic accident victims and the perpetrators. Also, as the total driving distance of the driver becomes longer, the awareness of wanting to reach the final destination without accidents or violations while paying attention to accidents and violations increases. Therefore, as the usage period of the target management system becomes longer, the driver's safety awareness is further enhanced, and it is considered that this increase in safety awareness often becomes the "normal state" of the driver. As a result, a further reduction in the number of traffic accidents and traffic violations can be expected.

[0023] The communication unit 23 is an interface for the management terminal 2 to communicate with the communication network 6, and is a wired interface compliant with Ethernet (registered trademark) or a wireless interface compliant with the Wi-Fi standard. The communication unit 23 is an example of the transmission unit and the reception unit of the present invention.

[0024] The memory unit 24 is composed of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory), and stores various applications for executing the target management system 1 and various data necessary for managing the driver 10 and targets, etc. The RAM is a volatile memory and is used as a working area for programs.

[0025] The operation unit 25 is an input interface for a user who uses the target management system 1 to input operations, and is composed of a pointing device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, etc.

[0026] The branch terminal 3 mainly has a control unit 31, a display unit 32, a communication unit 33, a memory unit 34, and an operation unit 35, and they are connected to each other by a bus 36. The control unit 31 is a CPU and deploys various applications such as an OS (Operating System) stored in the memory unit 34. The display unit 32 is a display such as a liquid crystal or an organic EL, and displays various information screens.

[0027] The communication unit 33 is an interface for the branch terminal 3 to communicate with the communication network 6, and is a wired interface compliant with Ethernet (registered trademark) or a wireless interface compliant with the Wi-Fi standard. The memory unit 34 is composed of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory), and stores various applications for executing the target management system 1 and various data necessary for managing the driver 10 and targets, etc. The RAM is a volatile memory and is used as a working area for programs. As shown in FIG. 1, the first branch 61, the second branch 62, and the third branch 63 are connected to the communication network 6, and the branch terminal 3 is arranged at each branch. The number of branches connected to the communication network 6 is not limited to this.

[0028] The operation unit 35 is an input interface for a user who uses the target management system 1 to input operations, and is composed of a pointing device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, and the like.

[0029] The vehicle terminal 4 is a dedicated terminal provided in all vehicles 11, and mainly includes a control unit 41, a display unit 42, a communication unit 43, a storage unit 44, an operation unit 45, and an ID recognition unit 46, and is connected to each other by a bus 47. The control unit 41 controls the entire vehicle terminal 4. The display unit 42 displays information about the driver 10 as shown in FIG. 9 and the avatar 5 associated with the driver 10 in the initial registration process described later. The communication unit 43 is a wireless interface for the vehicle terminal 4 to communicate with the communication network 6. The storage unit 44 is composed of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory), and stores various applications for executing the target management system 1 and various data necessary for managing the driver 10 and targets, etc. The RAM is a volatile memory and is used as a working area for programs.

[0030] The operation unit 45 is an input interface for the driver 10 who uses the target management system 1 to input operations, and is composed of various operation input buttons. When there is an accident or violation in the vehicle 11, the driver 10 inputs to the vehicle terminal 4 through the operation unit 45. Accidents and violations can be input in three levels: minor, moderate, and major, and the driver 10 makes a preset input according to the situation. It should be noted that the classification of the levels of accidents and violations from minor to severe is not limited to three levels and can be set arbitrarily. The ID recognition unit 46 reads an ID card in which information about the driver 10 is stored.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, on the front surface of the avatar 5, the name 51 of the driver 10, the crown 55, and the achieved target 56 are printed, and on the back surface, the route history 52 of the driver 10, the accident / violation history 53, and the barcode 54 for management are printed.

[0032] The crown 55, achievement target 56 of "Accident- and violation-free driving between Tokyo and Nagoya", route history 52 on the back, and accident / violation history 53 displayed on the surface of the avatar 5 are not printed in the initial state. As the avatar 5 passes through each local office, the date, name of the transit point, and presence or absence of accidents / violations are printed on the back at each local office. After the avatar 5 reaches the target via the preset transit points, it is returned to the driver 10, and at that time, the crown and the achievement record characters on the surface are printed. This is an example of printing, and the operator of the target management system 1 can freely set the layout and printing content.

[0033] <Overall processing of the target management system> Next, the overall flow of the target management system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The local office terminal in FIG. 4 is any one of the local office terminals 3 installed at the first local office 61, the second local office 62, or the third local office 63. The target management system 1 sets a target for the driver 10 who drives the vehicle 11, and by having the avatar 5, which is a duplicate of the driver 10, move a distance substantially the same as the moving distance of the driver 10, it hopes that the avatar 5, which is a duplicate of the driver 10 himself / herself, can move safely to the next target, thereby reforming the driver's awareness and arousing the maintenance of attention, and driving the vehicle 11 safely. As the total moving distance of the driver 10 increases, the avatar 5 approaches the target, and the awareness of "Since I have come here without accidents or violations, I will complete the journey without accidents or violations like this" works, and as a result, the awareness of safe driving is enhanced.

[0034] In the initial state, the avatar 5 is stored in the first business office 61 where the business office terminal 3 of FIG. 1 is located. At this time, initial settings for associating the avatar 5 with information about the driver 10 are performed (S10 in FIG. 4). The control unit 21 determines whether the driver 10 to be associated with the avatar 5 is registered in the target management system 1 (S1 in FIG. 3). If the driver 10 is not registered in the target management system 1 (S1: NO), on the management terminal 2, initial registration processing for various information of the driver 10 shown in FIG. 5 is performed (S2). Details of the initial registration processing will be described later. If the driver 10 is already registered in the target management system 1 (S1: YES), the initial registration processing is omitted. When the driver 10 gets into the vehicle 11, the login processing described later (S31 in FIG. 8) is performed. Thereby, it becomes possible to add the distance to be traveled by the vehicle 11 from now on to the total travel distance obtained by summing up the distances traveled in the past by the driver 10 in the target management system 1. When the vehicle 11 starts running, the moving distance of the vehicle 11 is transmitted from the vehicle terminal 4 to the business office terminal 3 (S11), and on the management terminal 2, the moving distance of the vehicle 11 is integrated to calculate the total travel distance (S3). The total travel distance mentioned here is the sum of the distances traveled by the driver 10 driving the vehicle 11 after performing the initial registration processing.

[0035] When the management terminal 2 determines that the total travel distance of the driver 10 has reached the target distance set in the initial registration processing of S2 (S4: YES), the management terminal 2 transmits arrival data D1 indicating that the target distance has been reached to the vehicle terminal 4 (S12). At the same time, the management terminal 2 transmits movement instruction data D2 including an instruction to send the avatar 5 from the first business office 61 where the avatar 5 is stored to the second business office 62 whose distance from the first business office 61 is equal to or less than the target distance to the business office terminal 3 of the first business office 61 (S13). The business office terminal 3 of the first business office 61 that has received the movement instruction data D2 moves the avatar 5 from the first business office 61 to the second business office 62 by another vehicle as shown in FIG. 1 (S5). In the present embodiment, according to the distance traveled by the driver 10, the avatar 5 moves in the order of the first business office 61 as the starting point, the second business office 62 as the relay point, and the third business office 63 as the final point via the second business office 62. At this time, a route history 52 as shown in FIG. 7 is printed on the back surface of the avatar 5.

[0036] When the avatar 5 arrives at the second business office 62, the business office arrival process is performed to confirm the arrival of the avatar 5 at the second business office 62 by reading the barcode 54 of the avatar 5 at the second business office 62. After that, arrival data D3 indicating that the avatar 5 has arrived is transmitted from the business office terminal 3 of the second business office 62 to the management terminal 2 (S14). The arrival data D3 may be automatically transmitted by reading the barcode 54 of the avatar 5 that has arrived at the second business office 62. Even during the period from S13 to S14, the moving distance is transmitted from the vehicle terminal 4 to the management terminal 2 at any time, (S15), and the management terminal 2 accumulates the moving distance of the driver 10 to calculate the total moving distance (S6).

[0037] When the management terminal 2 determines that the total moving distance of the driver 10 has reached the final target distance set in the initial registration process of S2 (S7: YES), the management terminal 2 transmits arrival data D1 indicating that the final target distance has been reached to the vehicle terminal 4 (S16). At the same time, movement instruction data D2 including an instruction to send the avatar 5 from the second business office 62 to the third business office 63 where the distance from the second business office 62 is less than or equal to the total moving distance of the driver 10 on the target management system 1 is transmitted from the management terminal 2 to the business office terminal 3 of the second business office 62 where the avatar 5 is stored (S17). The business office terminal 3 of the second business office 62 that has received the movement instruction data D2 moves the avatar 5 associated with the driver 10 to the third business office 63 by another vehicle (S8). In other words, the avatar 5 moves between the business offices while corresponding to the distance traveled by the driver 10. At this time, a route history 52 as shown in FIG. 7 is printed on the back surface of the avatar 5.

[0038] When the avatar 5 arrives at the third business office 63, the barcode 54 of the avatar 5 is read at the third business office 63 to perform an arrival processing at the business office to confirm that the avatar 5 has arrived at the third business office 63. After that, arrival data D3 indicating that the avatar 5 has arrived is transmitted from the business office terminal 3 of the third business office 63 to the management terminal 2 (S18). By reading the barcode 54 of the avatar 5 that has arrived at the third business office 63, the arrival data D3 may be automatically transmitted. At the third business office 63, the route history 52 and the accident / violation history 53 are printed on the back surface of the avatar 5, and predetermined characters indicating goal achievement are printed on the front surface, and the avatar 5 is returned to the driver 10 who is the owner of the avatar 5 (S9). Specifically, print processing shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is performed on the avatar 5 from the management terminal 2 to the business office terminal 3 of the third business office 63, and return instruction data D4 indicating return to the driver 10 is transmitted (S19). A shipping notice indicating that the avatar 5 has been shipped from the third business office 63 to the driver 10 is transmitted from the third business office 63 to the management terminal 2 (S20), and the avatar 5 is returned to the driver 10 by another vehicle. As a method of returning to the driver 10, the use of a courier service (registered trademark) or mail is assumed. At this time, the avatar 5 can also be decorated on the desk like a shield by sandwiching the avatar 5 with a transparent acrylic plate and attaching a stand.

[0039] <Initial registration process> Referring to FIG. 5, the initial registration process of the driver 10 will be described (S21). At the management terminal 2, personal information such as the name of the driver 10, driving history, past driving history in the target management system 1, and resume is input and stored in the storage unit 24.

[0040] At the management terminal 2, a course for the avatar 5 of the driver 10 to move is selected (S22). The avatar 5 in FIG. 7 has the business offices to pass through printed when Tokyo→Nagoya is selected, but the course is not limited to this, and it may be Tokyo→Kagoshima, Tokyo→Hokkaido, Washington→San Francisco (USA), etc. When the course for the avatar 5 to move is selected, an instruction for manufacturing the avatar 5 of the driver 10 is sent from the communication unit 23 of the management terminal 2 to the business office terminal 3 of the first business office 61 which is the initial position of the avatar 5. The operator of the first business office 61 prepares the avatar 5 with the name 51 of the driver 10 printed as shown in FIG. 6. At this time, the crown 55, the achievement goal 56 in FIG. 6, the route history 52 and the accident / violation history 53 in FIG. 7 are not printed.

[0041] When the communication unit 33 of the business office terminal 3 transmits the information of the manufactured avatar 5 to the management terminal 2, the control unit 21 associates the driver 10 with the avatar 5 (S23). At the management terminal 2, a reward can also be set according to the total moving distance of the driver 10 (S24). Specifically, the reward may be set so as to send the specialty of the place that is the final destination to the driver 10, or a certificate of commendation, a trophy, etc. may be sent to the driver 10.

[0042] <Processing of the vehicle terminal> Next, the flow when the driver 10 gets on the vehicle 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. When the driver 10 gets on the vehicle 11 and inserts a predetermined ID card into the vehicle terminal 4, the ID recognition unit 46 recognizes the driver 10 and the control unit 41 requests the information of the driver 10 from the management terminal 2 via the communication unit 43. The management terminal 2 transmits the information regarding the driver 10 stored in the storage unit 24 to the vehicle terminal 4 (S31). The information to be transmitted here is the information displayed on the display unit 42 in FIG. 9, and includes the selected course of the driver 10, the business office information of the current location of the avatar 5, the total moving distance which is the sum of the moving distances from the initial position of the avatar 5, and the distance to the next goal.

[0043] When the login of the driver 10 is completed, as shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 41 displays the information transmitted from the management terminal 2 on the display unit 42. The control unit 41 transmits the moving distance of the vehicle 11 to the management terminal 2 at predetermined time intervals via the communication unit 43 (S32). When the control unit 41 receives the arrival data D1 indicating that the target distance or the final target distance has been reached from the management terminal 2 (S33: YES), it displays a notification indicating that the target has been achieved on the display unit 42 (S34).

[0044] When the control unit 41 does not receive the arrival data D1 from the management terminal 2 (S33: NO) or after receiving the arrival data D1 (S34), it determines whether an accident or violation has been input from the operation unit 45 by the driver 10 (S35). When an accident or violation occurs while the driver 10 is driving the vehicle 11, the driver 10 inputs the details via the operation unit 45. When the control unit 41 determines that an accident or violation has been input from the operation unit 45 by the driver 10 (S35: YES), it transmits accident / violation data D5 regarding the date and time, location, and the degree of the accident or violation to the management terminal 2 via the communication unit 43 (S36).

[0045] When the control unit 41 does not receive an input from the operation unit 45 (S35: NO) or after transmitting the accident / violation data D5 to the management terminal 2 (S36), it determines whether a cancellation process has been performed by the driver 10 (S37). The cancellation process is to reset the total moving distance of the driver 10, return the avatar 5 of the driver 10 to the first business office 61 at the initial position, and start over again.

[0046] When the control unit 41 receives a cancellation process from the operation unit 45 by the driver 10 (S37: YES), it transmits cancellation data D6 to the management terminal 2 (S38). When the control unit 41 does not receive a cancellation process from the operation unit 45 by the driver 10 (S37: NO), the ID recognition unit 46 determines whether the ID card has been withdrawn by the driver 10 (S39). When the ID recognition unit 46 determines that the ID card has been withdrawn by the driver 10, the control unit 41 determines that the end process has been performed by the driver 10, transmits the travel distance so far to the management terminal 2, and ends the process (S39: YES). When the ID recognition unit 46 is in a state where the ID card is recognized (S39: NO), it returns to S32 and transmits the travel distance to the management terminal 2 at any time.

[0047] <Processing of the management terminal> Next, the processing flow of the management terminal 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 10. The management terminal 2 detects the position information of the avatar 5 based on the record in which the barcode 54 of the avatar 5 is read by any business office and stores it in the storage unit 24 (S41). The control unit 21 determines whether it has received the travel distance of the driver 10 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S42). When the control unit 21 receives the travel distance of the driver 10 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S42: YES), the control unit 41 adds the received travel distance to the total travel distance corresponding to the driver 10 (S43). As a result, the total travel distance from the first business office 61 for the driver 10 is stored in the storage unit 24 in association with the driver 10.

[0048] When the control unit 21 does not receive the travel distance of the vehicle 11 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S42: NO) or after adding the travel distance of the driver 10 to the total travel distance (S43), the control unit 21 determines whether it has received accident / violation data D5 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S44). When the control unit 21 receives accident / violation data D5 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S44: YES), the control unit 21 subtracts a preset distance according to the degree of the accident / violation from the total travel distance of the driver 10 (S45). At the same time, the control unit 21 sets an accident or violation flag for the driver 10 and stores the information regarding the location and date / time included in the accident / violation data D5 in the storage unit 24.

[0049] When the control unit 21 determines that it has not received the accident / violation data D5 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S44: NO) or after receiving the accident / violation data D5 from the vehicle terminal 4 and performing the subtraction process of the total travel distance (S45), the control unit 21 determines whether it has received the cancellation data D6 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S46). When the control unit 21 receives the cancellation data D6 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S46: YES), the control unit 21 resets the total travel distance corresponding to the driver 10 to zero and transmits the cancellation data D6 instructing the terminal 3 of the business office where the avatar 5 is located to return the avatar 5 to the first business office 61 which is the initial position (S47). Then, the process of the target management system 1 ends.

[0050] If the control unit 21 does not receive the cancellation data D6 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S46: NO), the control unit 21 determines whether the travel distance of the driver 10 has reached a preset target distance (S48). When the control unit 21 determines that the total travel distance of the driver 10 has reached the preset target distance (S48: YES), the control unit 21 transmits the arrival data D1 to the vehicle terminal 4 of the vehicle 11 being driven by the driver 10 (S49). In addition, the control unit 21 transmits the movement instruction data D2 including an instruction to send the avatar 5 to the third business office 63 which is the next business office preset to the terminal 3 of the business office 62 where the avatar 5 is stored (S50). In this embodiment, only the second business office 62 is used as the business office to pass through, but it may pass through a plurality of business offices.

[0051] The management terminal 2 executes a process substantially the same as that from S41 to S46 until it travels the distance from the second business office 62 to the third business office 63. Specifically, the position information is detected based on the arrival process of the avatar 5 at the business office and stored in the storage unit 24 (S51). When the course set in S22 passes through two or more business offices, the processes from S42 to S51 are repeatedly executed.

[0052] Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the flow after FIG. 10B will be described. The control unit 21 determines whether it has received the moving distance of the driver 10 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S52). When the control unit 21 has received the moving distance of the driver 10 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S52: YES), the control unit 21 adds the received distance to the total moving distance corresponding to the driver 10 (S53). As a result, the moving distance from the second business office 62 for the driver 10 is stored in the storage unit 24, and the total moving distance from the first business office 61 is stored.

[0053] When the control unit 21 has not received the moving distance of the vehicle 11 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S52: NO) or after adding the moving distance of the driver 10 to the total moving distance (S53), the control unit 21 determines whether it has received accident / violation data D5 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S54). When the control unit 21 determines that it has received accident / violation data D5 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S54: YES), the control unit 21 subtracts a preset distance according to the degree of the accident / violation from the total moving distance of the driver 10 on the target management system 1 (S55). At the same time, the control unit 21 sets an accident or violation flag for the driver 10, and stores the information on the location and date / time included in the accident / violation data D5 in the storage unit 24.

[0054] When the control unit 21 determines that it has not received accident / violation data D5 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S54: NO) or after receiving the accident / violation data D5 and performing the subtraction process from the total moving distance (S55), the control unit 21 determines whether it has received cancellation data D6 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S56). When the control unit 21 receives the cancellation data D6 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S56: YES), the control unit 21 resets the total moving distance corresponding to the driver 10 to zero and transmits the cancellation data D6, which instructs the terminal 3 of the business office where the avatar 5 is located to return the avatar 5 to the first business office 61, which is the initial position, to the terminal 3 of the business office of the third business office 63 where the avatar 5 is currently stored (S57). Thereafter, the processing of the target management system 1 ends.

[0055] When the control unit 21 does not receive the cancellation data D6 from the vehicle terminal 4 (S56: NO), the control unit 21 determines whether the moving distance of the driver 10 has reached a preset final target distance (S58). When the control unit 21 determines that the moving distance of the driver 10 has reached the preset final target distance (S58: YES), the control unit 21 transmits the arrival data D1 to the vehicle terminal 4 of the vehicle 11 being driven by the driver 10 (S59). Further, the control unit 21 transmits the return instruction data D7 including an instruction to return the avatar 5 to the driver 10 to the office terminal 3 of the third business office 63 where the avatar 5 is stored (S60). The management terminal 2 detects the position of the avatar 5 based on the arrival-at-office process (S61), performs the same end process as S39 (S62), and ends the process.

[0056] According to such a configuration, when the vehicle 11 reaches the target distance, the avatar 5 will move between the business offices by the target distance. Therefore, the driver 10 of the vehicle 11 will have the awareness of wishing that the avatar 5, which is his own clone, will be safely moved to the next business office, and will pay attention to safe driving. As a result, in order to drive with consideration so as not to cause accidents or traffic violations consciously, it is possible to reduce various losses and costs such as the number of traffic accidents, human lives, injuries, property damage, and insurance costs. As a result, not only the number of traffic accident victims is reduced, but also the interruption of social life such as sudden work due to the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrator in a serious accident, the breakup of the perpetrator's family, and further, the sudden loss of the driver's labor force on the side of the company to which the perpetrator belongs and the company's response to the victim side, etc. Also, it is possible to reduce the cases of suffering such as trauma remaining on both the traffic accident victims and the perpetrators. Further, as the total moving distance of the driver 10 becomes longer, the awareness of wanting to reach the final destination without accidents or violations while paying attention to the avatar 5 increases. Therefore, as the usage period of the target management system 1 becomes longer, the safety awareness of the driver 10 further increases, and it is considered that this increase in safety awareness often becomes the "normal state" of the driver. As a result, a further reduction in the number of traffic accidents and traffic violations can be expected.

[0057] Next, the target management system 101 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. For the same configurations as those in the above-described embodiment, the same reference numerals will be given and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0058] The second embodiment shows the window displayed on the display unit 22 when a course starting from Tokyo and arriving at Nagoya is selected in S22. As shown in FIG. 12, when starting from Tokyo, it finally reaches Nagoya via six business offices such as Yokohama, Odawara, and Atami where there are business offices.

[0059] FIG. 13 shows the information regarding the driver 10 stored in the storage unit 24. When the total travel distance of the driver 10 reaches a predetermined business office, the arrival date, travel distance, accident flag, and violation flag are associated with the driver 10 and stored in the storage unit 24. The notification flow between various terminals in terms of the travel distance and the processing flow when a violation or accident occurs are substantially the same as those in the above-described embodiment.

[0060] Next, the target management system 201 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 14. For the same configurations as those in the above-described embodiment, the same reference numerals will be given and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0061] In the target management system 201 of the third embodiment, the travel distance of the driver 10 is managed by the mobile terminal 204 instead of the vehicle terminal 4. The mobile terminal 204 mainly includes a control unit 241, a display unit 242, a communication unit 243, a storage unit 244, an operation unit 245, and a GPS 246, and they are connected to each other by a bus 247.

[0062] The control unit 241 controls the entire mobile terminal 204. The display unit 242 is a liquid crystal or organic EL panel that displays various information. The communication unit 243 is a wireless interface for the mobile terminal 204 to communicate with the communication network 6. The storage unit 244 is composed of an SSD (Solid State Drive) and a RAM (Random Access Memory), and stores various applications for executing the target management system 201 and various data necessary for managing the driver 10 and targets, etc. The RAM is a volatile memory and is used as a working area for programs.

[0063] The operation unit 245 is an input interface for the driver 10 who uses the target management system 201 to input operations, and is composed of a touch panel. The GPS 246 (Global Positioning System) detects the position information of the mobile terminal 204.

[0064] The driver 10 operates the mobile terminal 204 to log in to a pre-installed application. The management terminal 2 determines whether the driver 10 is driving based on the position and moving speed of the GPS 246, etc. When the control unit 21 determines that the driver 10 is driving, it adds the moving distance to the total moving distance.

[0065] The notification flow between various terminals in terms of the moving distance and the processing flow when a violation or accident occurs are substantially the same as those in the above-described embodiment.

[0066] According to the target management system 201 of the third embodiment, since it is not necessary to provide a dedicated vehicle terminal 4 for the vehicle 11, the target management system 201 can be realized at low cost. In addition, since the driver 10 can be managed by installing an application, the overall cost of the system can be reduced.

[0067] The target management system, target management method, and target management program according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes are possible within the scope of the gist of the invention described in the claims.

[0068] Avatar 5 has built-in means for detecting its position, such as GPS and GNSS, but these elements may not be necessary. As a result, Avatar 5 can be manufactured at low cost. Also, a barcode 54 for management is displayed on the back surface of Avatar 5, but it is not limited to this, and it may be managed by a QR code (registered trademark) or a built-in IC chip, etc. Furthermore, Avatar 5 has built-in means for detecting its position, such as GPS and GNSS, and thus, the management terminal 2 may grasp the positions of all Avatars 5.

[0069] In the above-described embodiment, a point deduction system based on violation / accident data D5 was shown, but it is not limited to this. For example, a point addition system for evaluating and adding points for good driving behaviors based on the self-report of the driver 10 can also be added. Here, good driving behaviors may include helping a stalled car or motorcycle, assisting or rescuing a person with difficulty walking, etc. Note that the details such as the definition of good driving behaviors and the establishment of point addition criteria are entrusted to each operator of the target management system 1.

[0070] In the above-described embodiment, Avatar 5 has a card form, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may have a figure shape like a doll, or may have a shape of a trophy or a shield.
