DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0013] People who use bicycle parking lots near their nearest stations for commuting to work or school do not use their bicycles during the day. There is a need for a system that allows commuters and students to share and make effective use of bicycles when they are parked and not in use. There is also a need for a system that allows rental items, not just bicycles, to be shared and made effective use of when the owner is not using the item. There is also a need for a system that can promote the sharing of rental items that are temporarily stored in a storage location. The present disclosure provides a sharing management device, a sharing management method, and a program that solves these problems.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a sharing management system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The sharing management system 100 of the present disclosure includes at least a sharing management device 1. The sharing management device 1 is connected to and communicates with terminals 2 each owned by a plurality of users. The sharing management device 1 performs management of lending, borrowing, payment, locking, etc. of lending objects.

[0015] The sharing management device 1 of the present disclosure acquires rental conditions, including at least the storage location and rental date and time of the rental item, from a rental terminal 21 corresponding to the rental person (owner) of the rental item. The sharing management device 1 acquires borrowing conditions, including at least the storage location and rental date and time of the rental item, from a borrower terminal 22 corresponding to the borrower of the rental item. When referring to the rental terminal 21 and the borrower terminal 22 collectively, they will be simply referred to as terminals 2. The sharing management device 1 sends to the borrower terminal 22 a rental list page including at least image information of the rental item identified to be posted on the rental list page based on the rental conditions and rental conditions. The sharing management device 1 identifies the rental item selected on the rental list page as the rental item. The sharing management device 1 outputs unlocking information to unlock the rental item identified as the rental item. Such a sharing management device 1 transmits a rental list page containing images of rental items identified based on the storage location and date and time to the borrower terminal 22, eliminating the need for the borrower terminal 22 to search for the rental item in its storage location. This promotes the sharing of rental items when the lender is not using the item as specified in the rental conditions. In this disclosure, the rental item is assumed to be a bicycle. In other embodiments, the rental item may be an object or device other than a bicycle stored in a designated storage location.

[0016] The sharing management device 1 may transmit unlocking information for unlocking the rental item (bicycle) to the borrower terminal 22. For example, if the unlocking information is a password or a personal identification number, the password or personal identification number may be entered into the locking device 6 that locks the rental item (bicycle), thereby unlocking the lock on the locking device 6.

[0017] Alternatively, the sharing management device 1 may send unlocking information for unlocking the rental item (bicycle) to the locking device 6 that has locked the rental item. For example, if the unlocking information is a password or a personal identification number, the locking device 6 may receive the password or personal identification number indicated in the unlocking information and automatically unlock the locking device 6. The locking device 6 may be attached to the rental item (bicycle) itself, or may be fixedly attached to a pole for hanging, fixing, locking, etc. the rental item (bicycle) or to a storage device for the rental item.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a system configuration diagram of a sharing management system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As an example, the sharing management system 100 is configured by a sharing management device 1, a fee server 3, a database 4, a lock management device 10, and a locking device 6, which are connected to each other via communication. The sharing management device 1 may include at least one function of the fee server 3, the database 4, and the locking management device 10. The sharing management device 1, the fee server 3, the database 4, and the locking management device 10 may be implemented within a cloud server that provides cloud services. Furthermore, the terminals 2 (lender terminal 21, borrower terminal 22) are, for example, smartphones, tablet terminals, or personal computers (PCs) owned by users, and are connected to cloud services such as the sharing management device 1 via 4G (Generation (G) / 5G / 6G networks.) The locking devices 6 are also connected to a group of computers that provide cloud services including the sharing management device 1 via 4G / 5G / 6G networks. The locking devices 6 may be installed at the storage location of the rental items, one for each rental item. Alternatively, the locking devices 6 may be attached to the rental items. The functions of the sharing management device 1, fee server 3, database 4, and locking management device 10 may be implemented in one computer, or may be distributed and implemented across multiple computers.

[0019] FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of a sharing management device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 3, the sharing management device 1 is a computer equipped with hardware such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 102, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 103, a storage device 104, a communication module 105, and an input device 106. The terminal 2, fee server 3, locking management device 10, and locking device 6 are also computers equipped with similar hardware.

[0020] First Embodiment FIG. 4 is a first diagram illustrating functional blocks of a sharing management device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The CPU 101 of the sharing management device 1 executes the sharing management program, which causes the sharing management device 1 to perform functions such as a control unit 11, a lending conditions acquisition unit 12, a borrowing conditions acquisition unit 13, a matching unit 14, a page sending unit 15, an identification unit 16, a payment management unit 17, an unlocking unit 18, and a storage management unit 19.

[0021] The control unit 11 controls the other functional units. The lending condition acquisition unit 12 acquires the lending conditions for lending the lending object from the lender terminal 21. The borrowing condition acquisition unit 13 acquires the borrowing conditions for borrowing the lending object from the borrower terminal 22. The matching unit 14 matches the lending conditions with the borrowing conditions. The page sending unit 15 sends to the borrower terminal a lending list page including at least image information of the lending object identified to be posted on the lending list page based on the lending conditions and borrowing conditions. The identification unit 16 identifies the loan item selected by the borrower on the loan list page as the loan item. The payment management unit 17 detects the completion of payment of the rental fee for the rental item identified as the rental item. The unlocking unit 18 outputs unlocking information for unlocking the locked object identified as the object to be lent to a predetermined output destination. The storage management unit 19 subtracts the rental fee from the storage management fee for the rental item to calculate a new reduced storage management fee for the rental item.

[0022] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user management table stored in the database. Database 4 stores user information for multiple users (lenders or borrowers). User information may include user ID (Identifier, Identification), name, date of birth, address, credit card number, a photo of the item to be lent, a photo of the user's face, and other images. A user can be both a lender and a borrower. When a user performs a lending registration operation using terminal 2, sharing management device 1 issues a lending ID as a management ID, links the issued lending ID to the user information of that user, and registers the issued lending ID in the user management table. When a user performs a borrowing application operation using terminal 2, sharing management device 1 issues a borrowing ID as a management ID, and registers the issued borrowing ID linked to the user information of that user in the user management table.

[0023] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a lending management table stored in the database. When lending based on the results of matching between the lending conditions and the borrowing conditions, the sharing management device 1 generates a lending management table. The lending management table links together information such as the lending ID, bicycle parking lot identifier, bicycle parking lot address, identifier of the item to be lent (such as the type of bicycle), a photo of the item to be lent (such as a photo of the bicycle), the lending date and time, the lending fee, and the borrowing ID, and is registered in the database 4. Note that the lending management table may also be linked to other information, such as a facial photo of the user who will be the lender. The lending fee may be a fee specified by the lending user or the borrowing user in the lending conditions. Alternatively, the lending fee may be a fee determined in advance based on the lending time, day of the week, etc.

[0024] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a processing flow of the sharing management device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Next, the processing flow of the sharing management device will be explained step by step.

[0025] <Action 1: Recruiting lenders> A renter of a bicycle sharing service installs a service app on their own renter terminal 21, which includes functions for authentication, fee payment, rental availability date and time registration, and locking for using the sharing service. Based on the renter's operation of the service app, the renter terminal 21 transmits a rental registration including a bicycle parking lot identifier (bicycle parking lot name, bicycle parking lot ID, bicycle parking space (storage space) ID, etc.), bicycle parking lot address, bicycle type, rental availability date and time, a photo of the bicycle, a facial photo of the renter, and the renter's user information to the sharing management device 1 on a cloud service connected via a 4G / 5G / 6G network. Information such as the bicycle parking lot identifier, bicycle type, rental availability date and time, and bicycle photo are examples of rental conditions. Rental conditions may also include a rental fee. The renter's user information may also include user attributes such as gender and age. The bicycle parking lot identifier is an example of storage location information. The rental condition acquisition unit 12 of the sharing management device 1 receives the rental registration (step S101).

[0026] <Action 2: Registering a lender> The storage management unit 19 acquires a rental registration including rental conditions from the rental condition acquisition unit 12. The storage management unit 19 issues a rental ID and registers user information, rental conditions, rental ID, and a matching success flag in the user management table, linked to the user ID of the renter (step S102). The matching success flag indicates whether the matching has been achieved or not, and an initial matching success flag indicates that the matching has not been achieved. The storage management unit 19 may also identify the renter's bicycle parking lot identifier (bicycle parking lot name, bicycle parking lot ID, bicycle parking space (storage space) ID, etc.) or a locking device ID stored in advance in association with the user ID, and register it in the user management table in association with the rental ID. This makes it possible to identify the locking device of the rental item (bicycle) of the renter indicated by the rental ID. The locking device ID may be included in the rental registration sent from the renter terminal 21.

[0027] <Action 3: Locking the rental item> The control unit 11 of the sharing management device 1 sends the rental ID to the rental terminal 21 of the user who is the rental. When the service app of the rental terminal 21 receives the rental ID, it displays rental registration completion on the display of the rental terminal 21. This lets the rental user know that rental registration is complete. The rental user operates the service app of the rental terminal 21 to input a lock start command. When the rental terminal 21 detects the input to start locking, it sends a lock request including the rental ID to the sharing management device 1 (step S103).

[0028] When the storage management unit 19 of the sharing management device 1 receives a locking request, it sends the locking request to the locking management device 10. Note that the lender terminal 21 may also send the locking request directly to the locking management device 10. The locking management device 10 sends a locking device determination request including the rental ID included in the locking request to the sharing management device 1. When the sharing management device 1 receives a locking device determination request, it obtains the locking device ID registered in the user management table in association with the rental ID and sends it to the locking management device 10. The locking management device 10 records the rental ID and locking device ID in association with each other in the locking management table. The locking management device 10 sends a locking command to the locking device 6 corresponding to the locking device ID. When the locking command is received, the locking device 6 performs locking. In the present disclosure, the locking device 6 locks bicycles that have been registered for rental by the lender. In the present disclosure, bicycles are not individually equipped with locking devices 6, but rather may be hooked, secured, and locked to a locking device 6 fixedly installed in a bicycle parking lot, and the locking device 6 may be activated to physically lock the bicycle. The bicycle's individual locking device 6 may remain unlocked. This allows the borrower to lock the locking device 6 installed individually for the bicycle while using the bicycle. However, in other embodiments, bicycles may be individually equipped with locking devices 6, and the lock management device 10 may send a lock command to the locking device 6 to lock the bicycle.

[0029] <Action 4: Recruiting Borrowers> A borrower of a bicycle sharing service installs a service app on their borrower terminal 22, which includes functions such as authentication, fee payment, scheduled rental date and time registration, and locking for using the sharing service. Based on the borrower's operation of the service app, the borrower terminal 22 sends a rental application registration to the sharing management device 1 on a cloud service connected via a 4G / 5G / 6G network. The rental application registration includes a bicycle parking lot identifier (bicycle parking lot name, bicycle parking lot ID, bicycle parking space (storage space) ID, etc.), bicycle type, scheduled rental date and time, a facial photo of the borrower, and the borrower's user information. Information such as the bicycle parking lot identifier and scheduled rental date and time are one aspect of rental conditions. The bicycle parking lot identifier may be the identifier of the storage space where the borrower's bicycle is stored. Rental conditions may also include the rental fee. The borrower's user information may also include user attributes such as gender and age. The rental conditions acquisition unit 13 of the sharing management device 1 receives the rental application registration (step S104).

[0030] <Action 5: Registering a Borrower> The storage management unit 19 acquires the borrowing application registration including the borrowing conditions from the borrowing conditions acquisition unit 13. The storage management unit 19 issues a borrowing ID and registers the user information, borrowing conditions, borrowing ID, and matching establishment flag in the user management table, linked to the borrower's user ID (step S105). The matching establishment flag indicates whether the matching has been established or not, and the initial matching establishment flag indicates that the matching has not been established.

[0031] <Action 6: Sharing matching process> Through the above process, information based on multiple lending registrations and multiple borrowing application registrations is registered in the user management table. The matching unit 14 of the sharing management device 1 performs a matching process based on the borrowing conditions and lending conditions at the timing of the borrowing application registration registered by the borrowing condition acquisition unit 13, at a predetermined time interval, etc. (Step S106). In this matching process, the matching unit 14 determines whether there are any lending registrations that match the borrowing conditions included in the borrowing application registration but for which matching has not been established.

[0032] In the matching process, the matching unit 14 matches rental registrations with rental application registrations where at least the bicycle parking lot name (or bicycle parking lot ID) matches and the rental date and time match with the planned rental date and time. In the matching process for one rental application registration, the matching unit 14 searches for a rental registration where the bicycle parking lot name (or bicycle parking lot ID) obtained from the rental conditions of the rental application registration matches the bicycle parking lot name (or bicycle parking lot ID) obtained from the rental conditions of the rental registration, and the rental date and time obtained from the rental conditions is included in the rental date and time obtained from the rental conditions, and detects a matching rental registration. Note that the matching unit 14 may compare the rental fee indicated in the rental conditions with the rental fee indicated in the rental fee, and detect a rental registration with rental conditions where the rental fee is less than the rental fee. The identification unit 16 identifies one rental registration from one or more matched rental registrations (step S107). The identifying unit 16 generates a lending management table (FIG. 6) that links the borrowing application registration with the lending registration identified for that borrowing application registration (step S108).

[0033] When the identification unit 16 identifies a loan registration corresponding to the borrowing application registration, it sends an approval request including the borrower's user information and the borrowing conditions of the borrower to the lender terminal 21 (step S109). The service app of the lender terminal 21 displays the user information and borrowing conditions included in the approval request on the display. If the lender approves the loan based on the borrowing conditions, etc., the lender inputs information indicating that the loan is approved into the service app of the lender terminal 21. The service app of the lender terminal 21 sends an approval result including that the loan is approved to the sharing management device 1. If the lender does not approve the loan based on the borrowing conditions, etc., the lender inputs information indicating that the loan is not approved into the service app of the lender terminal 21. The service app of the lender terminal 21 sends an approval result including that the loan is not approved to the sharing management device 1. The identification unit 16 receives the approval result (step S110). If the identification unit 16 obtains an approval result indicating that the loan is approved, it sends the approval result indicating that the loan is approved to the borrower terminal 22. When the specification unit 16 acquires an approval result of denial of lending, it transmits the approval result of denial of lending to the borrower terminal 22. The service application of the borrower terminal 22 displays the approval result (lend OK / lend denial) on the display.

[0034] In addition, if the processing of the matching unit 14 detects multiple loan registrations with loan conditions that match the loan conditions of the loan application registration, the identification unit 16 may send an approval request to the lender terminal 21 of the lender who made those multiple loan registrations.

[0035] If the loan is approved, the page sending unit 15 generates a loan list page based on the loan registration whose loan conditions match the loan conditions of the loan application registration, including the loan conditions included in the loan registration, some or all of the user information of the lender (owner), the loan ID, the borrowing ID assigned to the borrower, etc. (step S111). The page sending unit 15 sends the loan list page to the borrower terminal 22 (step S112). The page sending unit 15 identifies multiple loan registrations that match the loan conditions of the loan application registration, and if it obtains an approval result of loan approval for multiple of them, it may generate a loan list page including information about those loan registrations and send that loan list page to the borrower terminal 22. The service app of the borrower terminal 22 displays the loan list page on its display. The loan list page includes user information for the loan conditions of one or more loan registrations, and the borrower can select one loan registration from among them. The rental list page may display a photo of the bicycle to be rented, and if the user information of the bicycle owner includes a facial photo, image information such as the facial photo may also be displayed on the display. The borrower selects one rental registration from the rental list page displayed on the display of borrower terminal 22. Borrower terminal 22 sends a rental request to sharing management device 1, including the rental ID corresponding to the selected rental registration and the borrowing ID corresponding to the borrowing application registration.

[0036] <Action 7: Payment Management Processing> The identification unit 16 acquires the rental request (step S113). The identification unit 16 outputs payment management instructions including the rental ID and borrowing ID included in the rental request to the payment management unit 17 (step S114). The payment management unit 17 identifies the price for renting the bicycle based on the borrowing ID or rental ID included in the payment management instructions. The payment management unit 17 may identify the rental fee registered in the user management table linked to the borrowing ID as the price for renting the bicycle, or may identify the rental fee registered in the user management table linked to the rental ID as the price for renting the bicycle. The payment management unit 17 sends a payment processing request to the fee server 3 including the fee identified as the price for renting the bicycle and the borrower's credit card number, etc. The fee server 3 uses known technology to perform payment processing for the rental price using the fee identified as the price for renting the bicycle. The fee server 3 and payment management unit 17 may also perform payment processing using other payment methods (such as barcode payment) using known technology. When the payment process is complete, the fee server 3 sends a payment completion notice to the sharing management device 1. The payment management unit 17 of the sharing management device registers a payment completion flag in the lending management table (Figure 6) linked to the lending ID and borrowing ID. The payment management unit 17 outputs a payment completion notice including the lending ID, borrowing ID, etc. to the unlocking unit 18. The payment management unit 17 may register the specified loan price linked to the borrowing ID or lending ID in the lending management table. The payment management process may be performed at other times, such as after the unlocking process described below or after the borrower returns the item.

[0037] <Action 8: Unlocking process> The unlocking unit 18 acquires the bicycle parking lot identifier (bicycle parking lot name, bicycle parking lot ID, bicycle parking space (storage space) ID, etc.) registered in the user management table in association with the rental ID included in the payment completion notice. The unlocking unit 18 identifies the bicycle parking space ID based on the bicycle parking lot identifier, and sends an unlocking request including that bicycle parking space ID to the locking management device 10 (step S115). The locking management device 10 reads the bicycle parking space ID from the unlocking request, and reads the communication address of the locking device 6 corresponding to that parking space ID from a database or the like that stores the address in advance. The unlocking unit 18 sends an unlocking signal to that locking device 6. When the locking device 6 receives the unlocking signal, it unlocks the locking device 6. When the locking management device 10 detects that the locking device 6 has been unlocked, it notifies the unlocking unit 18 of the sharing management device 1 that unlocking has been completed.

[0038] When the unlocking unit 18 detects that the locking device 6 has been unlocked, it obtains the borrowing ID from the unlocking request and sends unlocking completion information indicating that unlocking has been completed to the borrower terminal 22 corresponding to that borrowing ID (step S116). The unlocking completion information may include information such as the bicycle parking lot identifier linked to the rental ID, the bicycle type, and a photo of the bicycle. The borrower terminal 22 receives the unlocking completion information. The service app of the borrower terminal 22 displays the bicycle parking lot identifier (bicycle parking lot name, bicycle parking lot ID, bicycle parking space (storage space) ID, etc.) included in the unlocking completion information on the display. The service app of the borrower terminal 22 may also display information such as the bicycle type and a photo of the bicycle on the display. The borrower identifies the bicycle to be rented from the bicycle parking lot based on the bicycle parking lot identifier (bicycle parking lot name, bicycle parking lot ID, bicycle parking space (storage space) ID, etc.), the bicycle type, a photo of the bicycle, etc. The borrower then uses the bicycle to be rented, whose locking device 6 has been unlocked.

[0039] The processing of such a sharing management device 1 is an example of a process in which rental conditions including at least the storage location and rental date and time of the rental item are obtained from the rental terminal (renter terminal 21) corresponding to the rental item lender, rental conditions including at least the storage location and rental date and time of the rental item are obtained from the borrower terminal 22 corresponding to the borrower of the rental item, a rental list page including at least image information of the rental item identified to be posted on the rental list page based on the rental conditions and rental conditions is sent to the borrower terminal 22, the rental item selected on the rental list page is identified as the rental item, and unlocking information is output to unlock the locking device 6 of the rental item identified as the rental item.

[0040] This type of processing by the sharing management device 1 allows borrowers to easily identify bicycles in a bicycle parking lot where many bicycles are stored based on image information such as a photo of the bicycle, thereby further promoting the bicycle sharing and use system. Furthermore, if a photo of the user's face is displayed on the rental list page, users can get a sense of who the renter is, allowing them to use the bicycle with peace of mind.

[0041] Furthermore, the locking device 6 that receives the unlock signal in the above process may emit a sound from a sound transmitter provided in the device itself, or may perform control such as turning on a lamp provided in the device itself.

[0042] In the above process, the locking management device 10 sends an unlocking signal to the locking device 6, but the sharing management device 1 may also be equipped with a processing unit corresponding to the locking management device 10 and send an unlocking signal directly to the locking device 6 to unlock the locking device 6.

[0043] In another example, the unlocking unit 18 may send unlocking information to the borrower terminal 22, including a bicycle parking lot identifier (bicycle parking lot name, bicycle parking lot ID, bicycle parking space (storage space) ID), a photo of the bicycle, a PIN number for unlocking the locking device 6, etc. The service app on the borrower terminal 22 may then display the bicycle parking lot identifier, a photo of the bicycle, the PIN number, etc., so that the borrower can use the bicycle parking lot identifier and the photo of the bicycle to find the bicycle to be rented and unlock the locking device 6 using the PIN number. The unlocking unit 18 may send a barcode image including the PIN number, etc., to the borrower terminal 22 instead of the PIN number. The borrower terminal 22 may display the barcode on its display. The borrower may then have a barcode reader on the locking device 6 read the barcode to unlock the locking device 6.

[0044] When the unlocking unit 18 detects that the lock has been released, it may also send a request to the storage management unit 19 to process a reduction in the storage management fee. The reduction request may include the borrowing ID and lending ID. The storage management unit 19 reads the rental fee recorded in the rental management table in association with the borrowing ID and lending ID. The storage management unit 19 records the rental fee as a reduced storage management fee in the user information registered in the user management table in association with the lending ID. The storage management unit 19 may calculate a new reduced storage management fee for the bicycle by subtracting the rental fee (rental fee) from the storage management fee at the bicycle parking lot. The storage management unit 19 may perform a payment settlement process for the bicycle storage management based on the new reduced storage management fee. This settlement process may be performed by the fee server 3. The storage management unit 19 may perform fee management processing by treating a portion of the rental fee recorded in the rental management table in association with the borrowing ID and rental ID as revenue for the company that operates the sharing management system. Furthermore, in response to an instruction from the sharing management device 1, the fee server 3 may perform a settlement process by paying the rental fee paid by the borrower minus a bicycle parking margin to the renter.

[0045] According to the processing of the sharing management device 1 described above, bicycles can be rented out for a fee when they are not being used by commuters or students, allowing them to be used for business purposes (delivery / visits / measurements) and tourists to obtain bicycles near stations, and also increasing profits at bicycle parking lots.

[0046] <Action 9: Locking process when the borrower returns the item> After using the bicycle, the borrower returns the bicycle to a designated location in the bicycle parking lot and physically locks it using the locking device 6. The borrower may issue a locking request from a page containing information about the borrower's bicycle, which is displayed on the screen of the service app on the borrower's terminal 22. In this case, the service app on the borrower's terminal 22 sends a locking request including stored information such as the borrowing ID and rental ID to the locking management device 10. The locking management device 10 identifies the locking device 6 based on the bicycle parking lot identifier and other information linked to the rental ID and recorded in the user management table, and sends a locking signal to the locking device 6. The locking device 6 locks the bicycle upon receiving the locking signal. The locking device 6 may be a locking device 6 fixed to the storage space where the bicycle was stored when the borrower began renting the bicycle. Alternatively, the locking device 6 may be a locking device individually attached to the bicycle. Alternatively, the borrower may return the bicycle by locking it in a new storage space of their choice in the same parking lot where the bicycle was locked at the start of the rental. In this case, for example, the borrower may input a bicycle parking lot identifier (such as a storage space identifier) ​​when issuing a locking request from a page containing information about the bicycle they are renting, which is displayed on the service app screen. When the locking management device 10 receives a locking request, it identifies the locking device 6 based on the bicycle parking lot identifier included in the locking request and sends a locking signal to the locking device 6. This allows the user to return the borrowed bicycle to another space in the same parking lot. Note that the locking device 6 may be provided with a user interface, and the locking device 6 may send a locking request to the locking management device 10 based on operation of the user interface, which in turn may send a locking signal to the locking device 6 to lock it. In this case, the locking device 6 may read the barcode displayed by the borrower terminal 22 via the user interface and send a locking request to the locking management device 10, which includes the borrowing ID or lending ID contained in the barcode and the bicycle parking lot identifier (storage space ID, etc.) stored by the locking device 6.

[0047] Second Embodiment FIG. 8 is a second diagram illustrating functional blocks of the sharing management device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0048] The CPU 101 of the sharing management device 1 may execute the sharing management program, so that the sharing management device 1 may further fulfill the functions of a location information acquisition unit 111 and a usage management unit 112.

[0049] The location information acquisition unit 111 acquires location information of the borrower and location information of the rental object identified as the rental object. The usage management unit 112 manages usage based on the location information of the borrower.

[0050] In the second embodiment, the sharing management device 1 outputs unlocking information to the locking device 6 based on the results of comparing the location information of the borrower with the location information of the rental object identified to be rented. Furthermore, the sharing management device 1 may output warning information to the borrower terminal 22 and perform processing to restrict usage if, for example, the rental object, a bicycle, moves beyond a predetermined distance from the bicycle parking area where the bicycle is stored.

[0051] In the first embodiment described above, it was explained that the sharing management device 1 may perform the matching process at the timing of registering a borrowing application, etc. Here, the sharing management device 1 may acquire the location information of the borrower terminal 22 and identify as the bicycle to be rented a bicycle that is locked to a locking device 6 located at a position closest to the acquired location information. For example, the borrower terminal 22 stores location information detected using the borrower terminal's 22's location detection function in the borrowing application registration and sends the borrowing application registration to the sharing management device 1. The location information acquisition unit 111 of the sharing management device 1 acquires the location information from the borrowing application registration and outputs it to the identification unit 16. The identification unit 16 identifies the locking device 6 corresponding to the bicycle parking lot identifier stored in association with the location information closest to the acquired location information, and identifies the bicycle locked to that locking device 6 from the user management table. The identification unit 16 may identify the identified bicycle as the bicycle to rent to the borrower. The subsequent processing is the same as in the first embodiment.

[0052] The location information acquisition unit 111 of the sharing management device 1 then acquires usage information including location information (the current location information of the borrower) and the borrower ID and rental ID that the service app on the borrower terminal 22 periodically sends after the bicycle is rented (after the locking device 6 is unlocked). The location information acquisition unit 111 outputs the usage information to the usage management unit 112. The usage management unit 112 identifies the location information of the bicycle parking lot where the bicycle was kept based on the borrowing ID and rental ID included in the usage management information. The usage management unit 112 compares the location information of the bicycle parking lot where the bicycle was kept with the location information of the current borrower to determine whether the distance is greater than a predetermined distance. Note that if a locking device 6 is attached to the bicycle, the locking device 6 may also send current location information to the sharing management device 1. If the distance between the location information of the bicycle parking lot where the bicycle was kept and the current location information of the borrower is greater than a threshold, the usage management unit 112 may send warning information to the borrower terminal 22 of the borrower who is renting the bicycle. The usage management unit 112 determines whether the bicycle has been returned to the bicycle parking lot where it was kept at the time of rental by the rental end time indicated by the rental date and time recorded in the rental management table based on whether the parking lot is locked or not, and may send warning information to the borrower terminal 22 if the bicycle has not been returned by the rental end time.

[0053] Third Embodiment In the first embodiment described above, it was explained that the sharing management device 1 may perform the matching process when a rental application is registered, or at specified intervals. However, the matching process may also be performed when the borrower is in front of the bicycle to be rented.

[0054] For example, the borrower displays the rental list page for a specific bicycle parking lot on the service app. The rental list displays the bicycle type, image of the bicycle, and storage space ID of the bicycle to be rented at that bicycle parking lot, which have been registered in advance by the borrower. The rental list may also display an image of the borrower's face. The borrower searches for the bicycle they wish to rent from those displayed on the rental list page and moves to it. Assume that a sticker displaying a rental barcode is affixed to the bicycle to be rented. The barcode contains the borrower's user ID. The borrower then launches the service app on the borrower terminal 22 and reads the barcode using the barcode reading function. The borrower registers a rental application in the service app. The borrower may register rental conditions in the sharing management device 1 in advance, or may set the rental conditions when registering the rental application. After receiving the input for the rental application registration, the service app on the borrower terminal 22 sends the rental application registration, including the barcode information and rental conditions, to the sharing management device 1. This borrowing application registration is an example of a request for a judgment as to whether or not the item can be borrowed, including identification information for the item to be borrowed and identification information for the borrower (or borrower terminal). The matching unit 14 of the sharing management device 1 obtains the lender's user ID from the barcode information included in the borrowing application registration, and obtains the borrowing ID and lending conditions that are linked to the user ID and pre-recorded in the user management table. The matching unit 14 also generates a borrowing ID based on the borrowing conditions included in the borrowing application registration. The matching unit 14 (judgment request acquisition means, lending eligibility judgment means) then performs matching processing based on the borrowing conditions and the lending conditions, similar to the first embodiment. If the borrowing conditions and the lending conditions match, the identification unit 16 identifies the item as a lending object, and the sharing management device 1 performs payment management processing and unlocking processing, similar to the first embodiment.

[0055] In the third embodiment described above, the matching processing unit 14 obtains the rental application registration including the barcode information and rental conditions, and obtains the rental conditions linked to the renter's user ID included in the barcode. If the rental conditions read from the rental application registration do not match, the matching processing unit 14 may, as in the first embodiment, generate a rental list page showing a list of other bicycles registered for rental in that bicycle parking lot, send it to the borrower terminal 22, and similarly perform matching processing and identification processing.

[0056] The processing of this third embodiment is an example of a process (corresponding to the above-mentioned matching process) that obtains a request for determining whether or not to lend, which includes identification information for the item to be lent and identification information for the borrower's terminal, and determines whether or not to lend based on the lending conditions corresponding to the identification information for the item to be lent and the borrowing conditions corresponding to the identification information for the borrower's terminal.

[0057] In the third embodiment, the borrowing application registration may be obtained by the locking device 6 reading a barcode displayed on the borrower terminal 22, and the borrowing application registration may be transmitted to the sharing management device 1, for example.

[0058] In the third embodiment, after receiving a rental application registration from the borrower terminal 22 of a borrower at a bicycle parking lot, the sharing management device 1 may transmit a rental list page showing a list of bicycles available for rental stored at that bicycle parking lot. In this case, the sharing management device 1 may transmit to the borrower terminal 22 a rental list page including at least image information of the bicycle identified to be listed on the rental list page based on the rental availability determination (matching process), identify the bicycle selected on the rental list page as the bicycle available for rental, and output unlocking information to the locking device 6 or the like to unlock the locking device 6 of the bicycle identified as the bicycle available for rental.
