[Background technology]

[0002] In tourist areas, rental cars are commonly used for the convenience of tourists, where they rent a car and use it for a certain period of time before returning it. Rental cars are especially essential on islands such as Jeju Island and in tourist areas where public transportation is inconvenient.

[0003] In addition, in order to ensure the convenience of car rental services as the tourist population increases, reservations for rental cars have begun to be made in advance online, as described in the following patent document, which has increased convenience for rental car users and also increased sales for rental car companies.

[0004] However, recently, as competition among rental car companies has intensified, an increasing number of rental car companies are experiencing operational difficulties. Even if reservations are made online, rental car systems generally gather vehicles at a specific location and hand them over to users who visit the vehicle. This requires on-site personnel to confirm users' reservations, conclude rental contracts, and guide users and manage the vehicles, resulting in high labor costs and increasing inconvenience to users due to long on-site wait times and complicated procedures.

The reference period setting module 552 can set, for example, 1 day, 1.5 days, etc. as a reference period, and can determine a period equal to or shorter than the reference period as an interval period. In addition, the reference period setting module 552 can set an interval period for a specific vehicle by analyzing past data, and can set an average value of the interval periods between unreserved reservation periods as the reference period. For example, if the interval periods between unreserved reservation periods are 3 days, 2 days, and 1 day, the average value of 2 days can be set as the reference period that is determined as an interval period.

[0080] The limit time setting module 553 is configured to set a limit time for offering a special price product during an interval, and sets a time when it is determined that no reservation will be made during the interval as the limit time. The limit time setting module 553 may set a certain period of time before the interval as the limit time, and may set 5 days, 7 days, etc., before the interval as the limit time.

[0081] The special price adjustment module 554 is configured to adjust the price for rental car reservations to a special price by lowering it, and adjusts the price for the in-between period. More specifically, the special price adjustment module 554 determines that an in-between period has occurred when the in-between period for a specific rental car reservation is equal to or less than the reference period set by the reference period setting module 552, and when the limit time set by the limit time setting module 553 for the in-between period is reached, the special price adjustment module 554 lowers the price for the in-between period and provides it.

[0082] The reservation period receiving module 555 is configured to receive information regarding the reservation period desired by the user from the reservation system, and if there is no rental car of the desired vehicle type that matches the reservation period, it can receive information about the reservation period.

[0083] The special price product combination module 556 is configured to combine matching special price products when the reservation period receiving module 555 receives information on the user's reservation period, and combines special rental cars whose prices have been reduced by the special price adjustment module 554 to match the reservation period. In other words, the special price product combination module 556 generates a rental car product combining multiple vehicles when it is possible to match the reservation period desired by the user by combining the periods between the multiple vehicles offered at special prices.

[0084] The combined product providing module 557 is configured to provide the user with a rental car product combined by the special price product combination module 556, and can provide product information via a reservation system connected by the user. When providing a rental car product combining the periods between a plurality of vehicles, the combined product providing module 557 can provide the product at a price lower than the lowered price for the periods between the vehicles, thereby further increasing the reservation rate for the rental car vehicles. In addition, when providing a combined product, the combined vehicles can be exchanged at a location desired by the user, thereby increasing user convenience.

[0085] The vehicle management unit 56 is configured to perform management according to the usage state of the rental car, and adjusts the order of departure through the price and reservation system according to the remaining lifespan of the rental car. The vehicle management unit 56 calculates the remaining lifespan by reflecting not only the degree of use of the vehicle but also the number of years since its depot, whether or not there was an accident, whether or not it was repaired, etc., for the lifespan set for each vehicle, thereby improving the accuracy of the calculation of the remaining lifespan, and sets a higher price as the remaining lifespan increases, so that exposure to users is prioritized, and thus a reasonable price can be provided and the vehicles can be used equally. To this end, the vehicle management unit 56 can include a lifespan information storage module 561, an operation time collection module 562, a number of years since its depot reflection module 563, a weight application module 564, a usage index calculation module 565, a price adjustment module 566, and a vehicle display adjustment module 567.

[0086] The life information storage module 561 is configured to store life information of each rental car vehicle, and for example, can preset and store total time information for each vehicle that can be driven.

[0087] The operation time collection module 562 is configured to collect information on the time when each rental car vehicle is operated, and can collect information on the time when the vehicle is operated using vehicle start-up and speed information collected by the vehicle information collection unit 57.

[0088] The age reflection module 563 is configured to reflect the age of each rental car vehicle in the collected operating time of the vehicle, and may, for example, multiply the operating time by a value set according to the age of the vehicle. Even if a vehicle has the same operating time, its functionality decreases as the age of the vehicle increases, so the operating time may be multiplied by a value set to increase as the age of the vehicle increases.

[0089] The weight application module 564 is configured to apply weights to the driving time depending on the breakdown or accident history of the rental car vehicle, and can multiply the set weight by the driving time each time a breakdown or accident occurs.

[0090] The usage index calculation module 565 is configured to calculate a usage index indicating the degree of use of a rental car, and calculates the usage index according to the ratio of the current operation time to the total operable time of each rental car vehicle stored by the life information storage module 561. At this time, the current operation time of the rental car vehicle may use information reflecting the age at which the vehicle was shipped and the number of accidents and breakdowns that have occurred by the age at which the vehicle was shipped reflecting module 563 and weight application module 564. Therefore, the higher the usage index calculated by the usage index calculation module 565, the shorter the remaining lifespan.

[0091] The price adjustment module 566 is configured to adjust the rental fee for the rental car according to the calculated usage index. Since a higher usage index means that the remaining life of the rental car is shorter, the rental fee can be set lower and the degree of reduction in the rental fee set for each rental car can be increased.

[0092] The vehicle display adjustment module 567 adjusts the departure of rental cars displayed through each reservation system, and prioritizes displaying rental cars with a long remaining life. Therefore, the vehicle display adjustment module 567 can prioritize displaying rental cars of the same model with a lower usage index on the user terminal 3, and can select and use vehicles with a long remaining life first, thereby enabling even use of rental cars.

[0093] The vehicle information collecting unit 57 is configured to collect information measured by the rental car, and can collect and store information measured through various sensors of the rental car in real time.

[0094] The vehicle monitoring unit 58 is configured to monitor the vehicle state of the rental car, and in particular, monitors impacts occurring in the rental car to quickly recognize the occurrence of an accident or abnormality in the rental car. In particular, the vehicle monitoring unit 58 can not only recognize an accident through an impact of a certain level or more, but also check the status of the rental car and take measures when an impact in a dangerous range occurs even if the impact is not above a certain level, and can determine that an abnormality in the vehicle occurs and take measures when an impact below the dangerous range occurs continuously. To this end, the vehicle monitoring unit 58 can include an impact information receiving module 581, an accident determination module 582, a danger recognition module 583, and an abnormality confirmation module 584.

[0095] The shock information receiving module 581 is configured to receive shock information of the rental car, and recognizes vibrations of a certain level or more occurring in the rental car as shock and receives information related thereto. Therefore, the shock information receiving module 581 recognizes only vibrations of a certain level or more caused by accidents or vehicle abnormalities, excluding general vibrations, as shocks and transmits them to the management server 5, thereby reducing the amount of data to be transmitted.

[0096] The accident judgment module 582 is configured to judge that an accident has occurred in a rental car when the impact generated by the rental car exceeds a certain level, and enables measures such as emergency dispatch and reporting due to the accident to be taken automatically and quickly.

[0097] The danger recognition module 583 is configured to recognize that an impact on a rental car is not enough to be recognized as an accident, but occurs within a danger range below that level, and transmits a confirmation signal to the rental car where an impact in the danger range has occurred to check for abnormality, and if there is no response within a certain time, an emergency dispatch is made to confirm the abnormality. Therefore, the danger recognition module 583 can efficiently manage the rental car abnormality by confirming that an impact is not enough to be an accident but is within a danger range and then dispatching an emergency. In other words, the accident determination module 582 can recognize only impacts above a certain level as accidents and dispatch an emergency, thereby preventing the problem of excessive emergency dispatches by sensitively recognizing accidents, and the danger recognition module 583 can also confirm that an emergency dispatch is made for impacts within a danger range below that level, so that a quick response can be made to minor accidents, driver's health abnormalities, and other situations. For this purpose, the danger recognition module 583 may include a danger impact detection module 583a, a confirmation signal transmission module 583b, a response signal confirmation module 583c, and an emergency dispatch instruction module 583d.

[0098] The dangerous impact detection module 583a is configured to detect when the impact of the rental car reaches a dangerous range below a certain level at which it is judged to be an accident, and recognizes impacts that are not large enough to be judged as an accident but are in a dangerous range that may cause a minor accident, and allows measures to be taken against them.

[0099] The confirmation signal transmission module 583b is configured to transmit a confirmation signal to the rental car when an impact within a dangerous range is detected, and the confirmation signal can be transmitted by installing a separate notification device in the rental car itself or via the user terminal 3.

[0100] The response signal confirmation module 583c is configured to confirm a response signal to a confirmation signal, and can transmit the response signal via a notification device installed in the rental car itself or via the user terminal 3, and confirms whether the response signal is received within a certain period of time.

[0101] The emergency dispatch instruction module 583d is configured to determine that an abnormality has occurred in the rental car and instruct an emergency dispatch if a response signal is not received within a certain period of time after sending a confirmation signal, thereby enabling rapid response to accidents that did not involve a major impact, driver abnormalities, etc.

[0102] The abnormality confirmation module 584 is configured to detect the continuous occurrence of abnormal shocks due to a vehicle abnormality, even if there is no possibility of an accident occurring, and to perform notification or inspection for the vehicle abnormality. To this end, the abnormality confirmation module 584 may include an impact information storage module 584a, a repetition frequency calculation module 584b, a reference value comparison module 584c, a consecutive number calculation module 584d, and an abnormality notification module 584e.

[0103] The impact information storage module 584a is configured to store information about impacts within a certain range below the danger range, together with information about the time of occurrence.

[0104] The repetition frequency calculation module 584b is configured to calculate the occurrence frequency of the shock stored by the shock information storage module 584a, so that it is possible to determine how frequently the shock occurs.

[0105] The reference value comparison module 584c is configured to compare the impact occurrence frequency calculated by the repetition frequency calculation module 584b with a reference value, and sets an occurrence frequency that can be determined to be an abnormality in the vehicle as the reference value for comparison.

[0106] The consecutive number calculation module 584d is configured to calculate the consecutive number of times that the frequency of repetition of an impact exceeds a reference value, and is capable of detecting frequent and consecutive occurrences of impacts.

[0107] The abnormality notification module 584e is configured to notify of an abnormality in the vehicle when the frequency of repetition of impacts exceeds a reference value and the number of consecutive occurrences exceeds a set number, and detects an abnormality only when impacts occur frequently and consecutively, so that it is possible to detect and notify only occurrences of impacts due to vehicle abnormalities, excluding occurrences of temporary abnormalities or impacts due to mistakes. The abnormality notification module 584e can notify the rental vehicle of an abnormality so that self-inspection or warning can be performed, and can also be dispatched to the rental vehicle to perform an inspection.

[0108] The fuel cost calculation unit 59 is configured to calculate the fuel cost for operating a rental car, and to charge the calculated fuel cost to the user when returning the rental car. Existing fuel costs for rental cars are paid by calculating the fuel cost using the fuel gauge of the vehicle, or by renting a vehicle filled with fuel and returning it filled with fuel. However, the calculation of the fuel cost using the fuel gauge is less accurate, and even if the vehicle is returned filled with fuel, the rental car user must refuel only near the return location where the unit price of refueling is high, which causes great inconvenience and dissatisfaction for the rental car user. Therefore, in recent vehicle sharing systems, fuel is refueled using a fuel card provided by the operating entity and the fuel cost is automatically charged according to the distance traveled by the vehicle. However, even in such cases, although the user's convenience is increased, the accuracy is reduced by simply charging based on the distance, and a higher fuel cost is charged than if the user refueled directly, resulting in a situation in which the user's loss is rather high. Therefore, in this system, fuel is supplied via a fuel card provided in the rental car, and the fuel cost is automatically calculated according to the vehicle's operating condition, and the fuel cost is calculated by analyzing the correlation between the operating condition and the fuel consumption, thereby allowing convenient and reasonable calculation of the fuel cost. For this purpose, the fuel cost calculation unit 59 can include a correlation analysis module 591, an operating information loading module 592, an oil cost calculation module 593, and an automatic fuel cost billing module 594.

[0110] The operation information collection module 591a is configured to collect operation information of each rental car, and collects starting information, speed information, acceleration / deceleration information, position information, and the like that affect the fuel consumption of the rental car.

[0111] The refueling information collection module 591b is configured to collect refueling information of each rental car, and makes it possible to calculate the amount of fuel consumed during the operation of the rental car based on the collected refueling information.

[0112] The correlation derivation module 591c is configured to derive the correlation between operation information and fuel consumption, and derives the correlation with fuel consumption by mechanical learning using the rental car's operating time, operating distance, speed, acceleration / deceleration, etc. as input variables.

[0113] The driving information loading module 592 is configured to read driving information for each rental car, and calculates driving information using start, speed, acceleration / deceleration, and position information collected during the use of the rental car.

[0114] The fuel cost calculation module 593 is configured to calculate the fuel cost for use of a rental car, and inputs the operation information received by the operation information loading module 592 into the correlation derived by the correlation analysis module 591 to calculate the amount of fuel consumed, and calculates the fuel cost using the amount of fuel consumed.

[0115] The automatic fuel cost billing module 594 is configured to automatically bill the rental car user for the fuel cost calculated by the fuel cost calculation module 593, and preferably, the fuel cost can be billed via the user terminal 3, and the return can be completed only when the billed fuel cost is settled. In this case, the automatic fuel cost billing module 594 can automatically bill the user for the fuel cost when the returning vehicle is confirmed to have passed through the vehicle gate 2 and entered.

[0116] The fuel cost discount unit 60 is configured to discount the fuel cost according to the unit price of fuel for the rental car user using a fuel card installed in the rental car, and to discount the fuel cost calculated by the fuel cost calculation unit 59 and charge the discount. In the present invention, the fuel cost is automatically calculated and charged according to the operating state of the rental car, and refueling is paid for using the fuel card installed in the rental car. In this case, the rental car user may refuel without checking the unit price of fuel at the gas station, which may increase the fuel cost burden on the rental car operator. Therefore, the present invention allows convenient refueling through the operator's fuel card, and discounts the fuel cost according to the unit price of fuel for the rental car user, thereby inducing the rental car user to find a gas station with a low unit price of fuel and thereby reducing the fuel cost burden. To this end, the fuel cost discount unit 60 may include a fuel cost loading module 601, a cost information collection module 602, a standard cost setting module 603, a savings rate calculation module 604, a fuel point calculation module 605 and an automatic fuel cost deduction module 606.

[0117] The refueling unit price loading module 601 is configured to read refueling unit price information of the rental car user refueling, and can receive and read unit price information for the gas station where the user refueled from an external server.

[0120] The reduction ratio calculation module 604 is configured to calculate the ratio by which the rental car user has reduced fuel costs, and calculates the reduction ratio by dividing the difference between the user's fuel unit price loaded by the fuel unit price loading module 601 and the standard unit price by the standard unit price.

[0121] The refueling point calculation module 605 is configured to calculate points based on the rental car user's refueling cost savings ratio, and calculates the refueling points to be discounted by multiplying the savings ratio calculated by the savings ratio calculation module 604 by the amount of refueling the user has used.

[0122] The automatic fuel cost deduction module 606 is configured to automatically reflect and deduct the fuel points calculated by the fuel point calculation module 605 from the fuel cost, and when the automatic fuel cost billing module 594 bills for the fuel cost, only the fuel points are automatically deducted and billed.

[0123] The safe driving reflecting unit 61 is configured to provide points according to the degree of safe driving of the rental car user and reflect them in the calculation of fuel costs, and if the user drives safely to minimize damage to the vehicle, the points are provided for the user to use as fuel costs, etc., thereby encouraging the rental car user to drive safely. The safe driving reflecting unit 61 provides points according to the user's driving time, excludes spinning time, sudden acceleration and deceleration, and overspeeding time from the driving time, and assigns weights to the excluded time according to the degree of sudden acceleration and deceleration and the degree of overspeeding to exclude the time, thereby calculating accurate points according to the degree of safe driving. To this end, the safe driving reflecting unit 61 may include a driving time calculation module 611, a spinning time subtraction module 612, an acceleration / deceleration time subtraction module 613, an overspeeding time subtraction module 614, a weight application module 615, a driving point calculation module 616, and a fuel cost reflection module 617.

[0124] The driving time calculation module 611 is configured to calculate the driving time of the rental car user, and calculates the driving time using information such as speed and location collected from the rental car vehicle.

[0125] The idle time subtraction module 612 is configured to calculate the idle time of the rental car vehicle and subtract it from the operation time, and the idle time can be calculated using vehicle start information, speed information, etc.

[0126] The acceleration / deceleration time subtraction module 613 is configured to calculate the sudden acceleration and deceleration time of the rental car vehicle and exclude it from the driving time, and can exclude it from the driving time if acceleration and deceleration exceeding a certain level occurs using the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration information.

[0127] The overspeed time subtraction module 614 is configured to subtract the overspeed time of the rental car from the travel time, and when the rental car travels at a speed that exceeds a certain degree from the standard speed of the road on which the rental car travels, the time can be subtracted from the travel time. Therefore, the overspeed time subtraction module 614 can store information on the standard speed corresponding to each road, and can determine whether the vehicle is overspeeding using the vehicle's position and speed information.

[0128] The weight application module 615 is configured to apply a weight according to the degree of sudden acceleration, deceleration, and overspeeding when subtracting the driving time due to sudden acceleration, deceleration, and overspeeding, and to perform subtraction by applying the weight according to the degree of sudden acceleration and deceleration, and in the case of sudden acceleration and deceleration, the degree of sudden acceleration and deceleration can be set into a plurality of sections and a weight can be applied to each section, and in the case of overspeeding, the weight can be applied by dividing the sections according to the degree of exceeding the reference speed. Thus, the weight application module 615 can apply a higher weight as the degree of sudden acceleration, deceleration, and overspeeding increases, and thus the subtraction of the driving time can be performed significantly.

[0129] The driving point calculation module 616 is configured to calculate points based on the driving of the rental car user, and calculates the total driving time by excluding time due to skidding, sudden acceleration and deceleration, and overspeeding from the total driving time, and subtracting time by applying weights based on the degree of sudden acceleration and deceleration and overspeeding, and calculates points for the total driving time thus subtracted.

[0130] The oil cost reflection module 617 is configured to reflect the points calculated by the driving point calculation module 616 in the oil cost, and can deduct the calculated points from the oil cost.
