DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiment. Note that in the following drawings, the same parts are assigned the same reference numerals. Furthermore, the descriptions of the embodiments can be used interchangeably unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, the configurations of the embodiments can be combined unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, in each procedure described below in the program of the present disclosure, for example, "procedure" can be read as "processing."

[0017] In this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the term "vehicle" refers to a vehicle defined by the Road Traffic Act. Examples of the vehicle include automobiles, motorized bicycles, and light vehicles.

[0018] [Embodiment 1] A vehicle location guidance assistance program, a vehicle location guidance assistance terminal device, and a vehicle location guidance assistance method according to the present disclosure will be described.

[0019] First, an example of a vehicle location guidance assistance program according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

[0020] The identification code acquisition procedure acquires an identification code including location information of a parked or parked vehicle (S11). The vehicle location information is, for example, section information indicating the location of the parked or parked vehicle in a parking lot or bicycle parking lot. Examples of the section information include latitude, longitude, and floor information. The vehicle location information may also be a section number indicating the location of the parked or parked vehicle in a parking lot or bicycle parking lot. In this case, by linking the section number with the section information, a map information generation device disclosed herein (described later) can identify the latitude, longitude, floor information, etc., where the vehicle is located. The identification code acquisition procedure may further acquire an identification code including reference location information. The reference location information is, for example, information indicating a starting point for starting guidance to the location of the vehicle. The reference may be, for example, the entrance to a parking lot or bicycle parking lot. The identification code may be, for example, a one-dimensional code such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark).

[0021] Next, in the transmission step, the vehicle position information is transmitted to a server (S12). The transmission step may further transmit the reference position information to the server. The server may be, for example, a map information generating device according to the present disclosure, which will be described later.

[0022] Next, the receiving step receives map information including the vehicle's position generated from the vehicle's position information from the server (S13). The map information is, for example, map information generated by the server. The receiving step may further receive guidance information to the vehicle's position based on the vehicle's position information and the reference position information.

[0023] Then, the display step displays the map information (S14). By displaying the map information, a user who has parked or parked a vehicle can find the location of the vehicle based on the displayed map information. The display step may further display the guidance information. The guidance information may include, for example, information indicating the user's current location (guidance start location) and route information to the location of the vehicle. The guidance information may be, for example, information included in the map information or information superimposed on the map information. By displaying the guidance information, the user can confirm the user's current location (guidance start location) and the location where the vehicle was parked or parked, thereby more easily finding the location of the vehicle. The display step may also display an arbitrary application after transmitting the reference location information. The arbitrary application may, for example, be an application for settling a fee incurred for parking or parking the vehicle. The application for settlement is not particularly limited, but for example, the settlement can be completed online by inputting information that identifies the vehicle (for example, a vehicle identification number such as a license plate number or a security registration number). After the processing in the arbitrary application (for example, the settlement) is completed, the display procedure may display the map information and, optionally, the guidance information.

[0024] The display method is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a display on a display device included in a vehicle position guidance assistance terminal device of the present disclosure, which will be described later. The display mode is also not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a mode in which the vehicle position is highlighted on the map using a pin or the like, or a mode in which the section information is displayed. If the guidance information is included, the map information and the guidance information may be highlighted on the map using a pin or the like, or a mode in which a route from the guidance start position to the vehicle position is displayed using a line or the like. In addition to displaying the map information and the guidance information on the display device, the map information and the guidance information may be output, for example, by an audio output device, which will be described later. When providing the guidance, the device 10 may further use a GPS (Global Positioning System) function based on the vehicle position information to provide guidance to the vehicle position. For example, using a gyro function instead of the GPS function may enable guidance indoors, where the GPS function cannot be used.

[0025] Next, an example of a vehicle position guidance assistance terminal device according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0026] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a vehicle position guidance assistance terminal device 10 (the present device 10) of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 2, the present device 10 includes an identification code acquisition unit 11, a transmission unit 12, a reception unit 13, and a display unit 14. Although not shown, the present device 10 of the present disclosure can be connected to a map information generation device of the present disclosure, which will be described later, via a communication network 30.

[0027] The device 10 may be, for example, a single device including the above-described units, or a device in which the units can be connected via a communication network. The device 10 can also be connected to an external device (described later) via the communication network. The communication network is not particularly limited and any known network can be used, for example, a wired or wireless network. Examples of the communication network include the Internet, the World Wide Web (WWW), a telephone line, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Storage Area Network (SAN), a Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN), a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWA), and a Local 5G (L5G). Examples of wireless communication include Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Local 5G, and LPWA. Examples of the wireless communication include direct communication between devices (Ad Hoc communication), infrastructure communication, and indirect communication via an access point. The device 10 may be incorporated into a server as a system. Furthermore, the present device 10 may be, for example, a personal computer (PC, for example, desktop or notebook type) on which the program of the present disclosure is installed, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc. The present device 10 may be in the form of cloud computing or edge computing, for example, in which at least one of the above-mentioned units is located on a server and the other units are located on a terminal.

[0028] 3 shows a block diagram of the hardware configuration of the device 10. The device 10 includes, for example, a central processing unit (CPU, GPU, etc.) 101, a memory 102, a bus 103, a storage device 104, an input device 105, an output device 106, and a communication device 107.

[0029] The central processing unit 101 operates in cooperation with other components via a controller (such as a system controller or an I / O controller) and is responsible for overall control of the device 10. In the device 10, the central processing unit 101 executes, for example, the program of the present disclosure and other programs, and also reads and writes various types of information. Specifically, for example, the central processing unit 101 functions as an identification code acquisition unit 11, a transmission unit 12, a reception unit 13, and a display unit 14. The central processing unit 101 may include, as a computing device, a CPU, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), or a combination of these.

Examples of the external device include an external storage device such as an external database, a printer, an external input device, an external display device, an external imaging device, etc. The device 10 can be connected to an external network (the communication line network) by, for example, a communication device 107 connected to the bus 103, and can also be connected to other devices via the external network.

[0031] The memory 102 may be, for example, a main memory (primary storage device). When the central processing unit 101 performs processing, the memory 102 reads various operating programs, such as the program of the present disclosure, stored in the storage device 104 (described later), and the central processing unit 101 receives data from the memory 102 and executes the programs. The main memory may be, for example, a RAM (random access memory). The memory 102 may also be, for example, a ROM (read only memory).

[0032] The storage device 104 is also referred to as a so-called auxiliary storage device, for example, in contrast to the main memory (primary storage device). As described above, the storage device 104 stores an operating program including the program of the present disclosure. The storage device 104 may be, for example, a combination of a recording medium and a drive that reads and writes from and to the recording medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited and may be, for example, an internal or external type, such as a hard disk (HD), CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, MO, DVD, flash memory, or memory card. The storage device 104 may be, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD) in which the recording medium and drive are integrated.

[0033] In the present device 10, the memory 102 and the storage device 104 can also store various information such as log information, information acquired from an external database (not shown) or an external device, information generated by the present device 10, and information used when the present device 10 executes processing. In this case, the memory 102 and the storage device 104 may store, for example, the vehicle's location information, the identification code, the map information, the guidance information, etc. Note that at least a portion of the information may be stored, for example, in an external server other than the memory 102 and the storage device 104, or may be stored in a distributed manner across multiple terminals using blockchain technology or the like.

[0034] The device 10 further includes, for example, an input device 105 and an output device 106. Examples of the input device 105 include pointing devices such as a touch panel, track pad, and mouse; a keyboard; imaging means such as a camera and scanner; card readers such as an IC card reader and a magnetic card reader; and audio input means such as a microphone. Examples of the output device 106 include display devices such as an LED display and a liquid crystal display; audio output devices such as a speaker; a printer; and the like. In the present disclosure, the input device 105 and the output device 106 are configured separately, but the input device 105 and the output device 106 may also be configured as an integrated device, such as a touch panel display.

[0035] Next, the vehicle position guidance support method of the present disclosure will be described.

[0036] The vehicle location guidance support method of the present disclosure can incorporate the descriptions of the program and vehicle location guidance support terminal device of the present disclosure. The vehicle location guidance support method of the present disclosure is a method implemented by replacing each "procedure" in the program of the present disclosure with a "process." Specifically, the vehicle location guidance support method of the present disclosure includes an identification code acquisition process, a transmission process, a reception process, and a display process. The vehicle location guidance support method of the present disclosure can be implemented using, for example, the device 10 of FIG. 2. Note that the vehicle location guidance support method of the present disclosure is not limited to use of the device 10 of FIG. 2.

[0037] [Embodiment 2] A map information generating program, a map information generating device, and a map information generating method according to the present disclosure will be described. Furthermore, the description of each component in the second embodiment can be applied to the description of each component in the first embodiment, unless otherwise specified.

[0038] First, an example of a program according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

[0039] The information acquisition procedure acquires location information of the parked or parked vehicle (S21). The vehicle location information includes location information contained in an identification code acquired by the user terminal. The information acquisition procedure may further acquire reference location information. The reference location information includes, for example, location information contained in an identification code acquired by the user terminal. The user terminal is, for example, the vehicle location guidance assistance terminal device described above.

[0040] The map information generation step generates map information indicating the position of the vehicle based on the vehicle position information (S22). The map information may be an image, text, audio, or the like. The vehicle position may be displayed, for example, by highlighting the vehicle position on the map with a pin or the like, or by displaying the section information. Furthermore, if guidance information, which will be described later, is included, the map may highlight the user's guidance start position with a pin or the like, or may display a route from the guidance start position to the vehicle position with a line or the like.

[0041] The output step may output the map information to the user terminal (S23). The output step may further output guidance information to the user terminal to guide the user to the vehicle's location based on the vehicle's location information and the reference location information.

[0042] Next, an example of the map information generating device of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0043] Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a map information generating device 20 (the present device 20) according to the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 5, the present device 20 includes an information acquiring unit 21, a map information generating unit 22, and an output unit 23. Although not shown, the map information generating device 20 according to the present disclosure can be connected to the vehicle position guidance assistance terminal device described above via a communication network 30.

[0044] The device 20 may be, for example, a single device including the above-described units, or a device to which the above-described units can be connected via the communication network. The device 20 may also be connectable to an external device (described later) via the communication network. The device 20 may be incorporated into a server as a system.

The device 20 may be, for example, in the form of cloud computing or edge computing, in which at least one of the above-described units is located on a server and the other units are located on a terminal.

[0045] 6 shows a block diagram of the hardware configuration of the device 20. The device 20 includes, for example, a central processing unit (CPU, GPU, etc.) 201, a memory 202, a bus 203, a storage device 204, an input device 205, an output device 206, and a communication device 207.

[0046] The central processing unit 201 operates in cooperation with other components via a controller (such as a system controller or an I / O controller) and is responsible for overall control of the device 20. In the device 20, the central processing unit 201 executes, for example, the program of the present disclosure and other programs, and also reads and writes various types of information. Specifically, for example, the central processing unit 201 functions as an information acquisition unit 21, a map information generation unit 22, and an output unit 23. The central processing unit 201 may include, as a computing device, a CPU, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), or a combination of these.

[0047] The bus 203 can also be connected to, for example, an external device. Examples of the external device include an external storage device such as an external database, a printer, an external input device, an external display device, an external imaging device, etc. The device 20 can be connected to an external network (the communication line network) by, for example, a communication device 207 connected to the bus 203, and can also be connected to other devices via the external network.

[0048] The memory 202 is, for example, a main memory (primary storage device). When the central processing unit 201 performs processing, the memory 202 reads various operating programs, such as the program of the present disclosure, stored in the storage device 204 (described later), and the central processing unit 201 receives data from the memory 202 and executes the programs. The main memory is, for example, a RAM (random access memory). The memory 202 may also be, for example, a ROM (read only memory).

[0049] The storage device 204 is also referred to as an auxiliary storage device, for example, in contrast to the main memory (primary storage device). As described above, the storage device 204 stores an operating program including the program of the present disclosure. The storage device 204 may be, for example, a combination of a recording medium and a drive that reads and writes from and to the recording medium.

The storage device 204 may be, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD) in which the recording medium and drive are integrated.

[0050] In the present device 20, the memory 202 and the storage device 204 can also store various information such as log information, information acquired from an external database (not shown) or an external device, information generated by the present device 20, and information used when the present device 20 executes processing. In this case, the memory 202 and the storage device 204 may store, for example, the vehicle's position information, the identification code, the map information, the guidance information, etc. Note that at least a portion of the information may be stored, for example, in an external server other than the memory 202 and the storage device 204, or may be stored in a distributed manner across multiple terminals using blockchain technology or the like.

[0052] Next, the map information generating method of the present disclosure will be described.

[0053] The map information generation method of the present disclosure can be implemented by incorporating the descriptions of the program and information output device of the present disclosure. The map information generation method of the present disclosure is implemented by replacing the "procedures" in the program of the present disclosure with "processes." Specifically, the map information generation method of the present disclosure includes an information acquisition process, a map information generation process, and an output process. The map information generation method of the present disclosure can be implemented using, for example, the map information generation device 20 of FIG. 5. Note that the map information generation method of the present disclosure is not limited to use of the map information generation device 20 of FIG. 5.

[0054] [Embodiment 3] A vehicle location guidance system according to the present disclosure will now be described.

[0055] An example of a vehicle location guidance system according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the block diagram of Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an example of a vehicle location guidance system 100 according to the present disclosure.

[0056] The vehicle location guidance system 100 of the present disclosure includes the vehicle location guidance assistance terminal device of the present disclosure and the map information generation device of the present disclosure. In the vehicle location guidance system 100 of the present disclosure, the vehicle location guidance assistance terminal device of the present disclosure and the map information generation device of the present disclosure can communicate with each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 , the vehicle location guidance assistance terminal device 10 and the map information generation device 20 are connected via a communication network 30.

[0057] 7 shows an example in which the vehicle position guidance assistance terminal device 10 and the map information generation device 20 are connected via the communication line 30, but for example, another storage device such as a cloud storage may also be connected via the communication line 30 (not shown). When the vehicle position guidance system 100 of the present disclosure includes the storage device, for example, the vehicle position information, the identification code, the map information, the guidance information, etc. can be stored in the storage device, and the vehicle position information, the identification code, the map information, the guidance information, etc. stored in the storage device can be acquired or received by the vehicle position guidance assistance terminal device or the map information generation device.

[0058] The vehicle location guidance system of the present disclosure can be used, for example, to provide guidance on the parking location of a vehicle or a bicycle in a parking lot or bicycle parking area, particularly in a large parking lot or bicycle parking area.

[0059] [Embodiment 4] The procedure for providing vehicle location guidance using the vehicle location guidance system of the present disclosure will be described with specific examples using Figures 8A and 8B. Note that, although the present disclosure shows an example using the present device 10 and the present device 20, the present disclosure is not limited to this. Also, although the present disclosure shows an example when the vehicle is an automobile parked in a parking lot, the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0060] First, as shown in Fig. 8A, a user parks a car in a parking lot. After parking, the user acquires an identification code (QR code (registered trademark)) printed in the parking space using the device 10 (in this disclosure, a smartphone including a vehicle location guidance assistance program (application)) owned by the user. After acquiring the identification code, the device 10 transmits the vehicle location information included in the identification code to the device 20.

[0061] Next, the device 20 identifies the latitude, longitude, and floor information of the parking space from the acquired vehicle position information. Here, for example, a space number may be acquired as the vehicle position information, and the latitude, longitude, and floor information of the parking space may be identified from the space information linked to the space number. The identified information may be held only by the device 20, or may be transmitted to and held by the device 10. The device 20 then generates map information indicating the vehicle's position based on the vehicle's position information.

[0062] Next, the generated map information is output to the device 10. The device 10 can then display the received map information on the display of a smartphone. When the user leaves the parking lot, the user can determine the location where the car is parked based on the displayed map information, and can return to the parking location by following the map display.

[0063] When leaving the parking lot, as shown in FIG. 8B, if the device 10 reads an identification code (QR code (registered trademark)) provided at the entrance or exit of the parking lot, the user's current location can be determined as reference location information. If the reference location information is transmitted to the device 20, and the device 20 generates guidance information based on the reference location information and outputs this to the device 10, the user can know more accurately the route from the current location to the location where the car is parked. This is particularly effective in situations where the user needs to be guided along the route to the location where the car is parked, for example, when there are multiple entrances and exits to the parking lot.

[0064] Furthermore, for example, when the device 10 reads an identification code (QR code (registered trademark)) provided at the entrance or exit of a parking lot, an application for settling parking fees provided in the device 10 may be displayed. The parking fee settlement may be completed online by entering the license plate number of the parked vehicle into the displayed application. Completion of the settlement may trigger the display of the map information and, optionally, the guidance information on the smartphone display.
