Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle repair system for repairing bicycles parked in locations other than a store. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, bicycle repairs have mostly been carried out at bicycle shops, where the person requesting the repair would bring the bicycle to the shop and tell the repairer what needed to be fixed, and the repairer would then inspect the bicycle to identify the parts that needed repair and carry out the repair.

[0003] However, the customer had to wait at the store or in the vicinity of the store until the bicycle repair was completed, or leave the bicycle at the store and pick it up several hours later or on another day when the store was open.

[0004] To solve this problem, a bicycle repair system is known that completes bicycle repairs as quickly as possible and promptly returns the repaired bicycle.

[0005] The bicycle repair system in Patent Document 1 installs processing devices at multiple bicycle parking lots that input and output information about bicycles that need repair, and has multiple pre-registered repair personnel equipped with information transmission means.The information from the multiple bicycle parking lots and information about the repair personnel is processed by a central processing device at the center, and instructions are given to the repair personnel and they are dispatched, allowing for efficient repairs.

[0006] However, even if a repairman is dispatched quickly, the bicycle will have to wait near the bicycle parking lot until the repair is completed, or the bicycle will be left unlocked in the bicycle parking lot until the person who requested the repair comes to pick it up, which is undesirable. Also, it is necessary to install a processing device that can input and output information in the bicycle parking lot, which increases the cost of the equipment.

[0007] Furthermore, in the parking lot management system and fee settlement device of Patent Document 2, a user stores a bicycle in a rack device, registers the rack number, repair request details, etc. on the fee settlement device, and stores the key in the key storage.The repair request information is then sent from the fee settlement device to the repair company.When the repair company registers that the repair is complete, it determines and registers the repair fee according to the repair details.When a user comes to pick up their bicycle, they enter the rack number into the fee settlement device, and the amount charged, which is the parking fee plus the repair fee, is displayed.Once payment is complete, the user can remove the bicycle and key from the rack device and key storage, and exit the bicycle parking lot.

[0008] However, the parking lot management system and fee settlement device of Patent Document 2 requires a rack device equipped with a vehicle locking device and a vehicle sensor, making the device large-scale, and also requires a fee settlement device, which increases the cost of the equipment. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[Figure 3] 1 is an explanatory diagram of a box with an opening and closing door according to the present invention. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operation of the hardware side of the bicycle repair system according to the present invention. [Figure 5] FIG. [Figure 6] 2 is a flow chart of a bicycle repair system according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The bicycle repair system diagram conceptually (schematically) illustrates one example of the configuration. [Example]

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, bicycle repair system 10 is a system for repairing parked bicycles, and is equipped with a requester's terminal 20 connected to an Internet network 11, where a requester inputs and sends request information for specified items when requesting repairs, and receives repair information from a repairer who will repair the bicycle, and a repairer's terminal 30 connected to network 11, which receives the request information and inputs and sends repair information.

[0028] Furthermore, the repairer's terminal 30 includes a sub-repairer's mobile terminal 31 connected via the network 11 .

[0029] The bicycle repair system 10 also includes a reception desk 21 that serves as a space for parking bicycles 50, a box 22 with an opening / closing door 23 provided in the reception desk 21, a box number lock 24 provided in the box 22 that locks the opening / closing door 23 with a number, a chain lock 26 that is stored in the box 22 and locks the bicycle 50, and a chain lock unlocking means 27 that unlocks the chain lock 26.

[0030] The chain lock unlocking means 27 that unlocks the chain lock 26 is a physically separate key. In the embodiment, the chain lock unlocking means 27 is a physically separate key, but is not limited to this, and the chain lock unlocking means 27 may be a chain lock number.

[0031] Next, the procedure for the client side of the bicycle repair system will be described. As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4, the requester inputs personal information and image information of the area of ​​bicycle 50 they wish to have repaired into requester terminal 20 as request information and sends it to repairer terminal 30, and the unlocking number for box number lock 24 is automatically sent from repairer terminal 30 to requester terminal 20.

[0032] The repairer checks the request information, which includes personal information and image information, and notifies the client terminal 20 of an estimated repair cost for the bicycle 50 by sending it from the repairer terminal 30 to the client terminal 20. After checking the estimated repair cost for the bicycle 50, the client can send confirmation information for the repair request from the client terminal 20 to the repairer terminal 30.

[0033] The requester unlocks the box number lock 24 using the unlocking number, takes out the chain lock 26 from the box 22 and locks the bicycle 50, and the repairer takes the bicycle 50 from the reception desk 21, repairs it, returns the repaired bicycle 50 to its original place and locks it with the chain lock 26.

[0034] The repairer transmits information about the final repair cost for bicycle 50 from repairer terminal 30 to client terminal 20. The client makes payment by, for example, credit card, electronic payment, or bank transfer, and after the repairer confirms the payment, transmits to client terminal 20 the unlocking number for box number lock 24 of box 22, which contains the key to unlock locked chain lock 26. The client then uses the unlocking number to unlock box number lock 24, remove the key, use it to unlock chain lock 26, and collect bicycle 50.

[0035] Specifically, for example, the user registers personal information as a friend using LINE (registered trademark), an application on smartphone (requester's terminal) 20, presses the "repair registration" button from the menu, takes a photo of the area for which repair is desired with smartphone (requester's terminal) 20, sends the image information to repairer's terminal 30, removes reception chain (chain lock) 26 and bicycle cover 25 from locker (box) 22, locks bicycle 50, and puts bicycle cover 25 on to complete the process. Note that at this stage, the "repair request" is not yet complete, only the repair registration.

[0036] This will take you to "Confirm Estimated Amount," where the shop (repair person) will check the registered bicycle 50 for repair, and an estimate will be sent to the LINE (registered trademark) application within about two hours if it is during business hours. After checking the estimate, the requester can cancel, and in that case, the process will end with the bicycle 50 being picked up within 12 hours.

[0037] In "Confirm Repair Request," the requester checks the estimated cost, and if they wish to request repair, they select "Request Repair" in the LINE (registered trademark) application and send it. After that, information on payment methods and the estimated time for repair completion are notified to the smartphone (requester terminal) 20.

[0038] In the "Payment" section, you can choose to pay later (cash or code payment) at the shop (repairer) when picking up the repaired bicycle 50, or you can pay online (by credit card). If you pick up the bicycle 50 at closing time, you can pay online (by credit card).

[0039] After payment, in "Repair Completed," when repairs to the bicycle 50 are completed, the dial number for pickup (the unlocking number for the box number lock 24) is notified to the smartphone (requester's terminal) 20. The requester then receives the repaired bicycle 50 from the repair station (receiving point) 21, and the process is complete.

[0040] In addition, personal information can be registered independently in LINE (registered trademark), which is an application for bicycle repair system 10, and details of a repair request for bicycle repair system 10, for example, Prince Shuley, can also be viewed via the Internet.

[0041] Next, the stand 40 for supporting the bicycle 50 will be described. As shown in Figure 4, stand 40 supports bicycle 50 to prevent it from falling over, and supports bicycle 50 by inserting the front wheel of bicycle 50 into the front wheel support portion of stand 40. With this type of stand 40, bicycle 50 can be easily leaned up simply by inserting the front wheel into the front wheel support portion of stand 40.

[0042] 5, a stand 40 includes an installation section 41, a pole 42 extending upward from the installation section 41, an adjustable pole 43 that is movable up and down and lockably attached to the pole 42 and has a horizontally curved tip, and a hook section 44 that is attached to the adjustable pole 43 and that hooks onto a bicycle 50 (see FIG. 4). With this other type of stand 40, the height can be adjusted with the adjustable pole 43 to accommodate various shapes of bicycles 50, and then the bicycle 50 can be hung on the hook section.

[0043] The overall flow of the bicycle repair system 10 will now be described. As shown in Figure 6, in the bicycle repair system, in STEP 1 (STEP is written as S in the figure), the customer (requester) leaves the bicycle at the reception desk, and in STEP 2, they use their smartphone (the requester's terminal) to register their personal information and other information into the system using the barcode on the information sign.

[0044] In STEP 3, the customer (requester) submits a repair request to the bicycle repair system. In STEP 4, the customer (requester) sends photos of the area to be repaired and the front and side of the bicycle from their smartphone (requester's terminal) to the repairer's terminal.

[0045] In STEP 5, the bicycle repair system notifies the customer (requester) of the box unlock number (unlock number for the box number lock) when the customer (requester) accesses the system for the first time.

[0046] In STEP 6, the customer (requester) unlocks the number lock for the box, takes out the special chain (chain lock) from inside the box, and locks their bicycle.

[0047] In STEP 7, the repair person checks the photos and the request. In STEP 8, the requester notifies the customer (the requester) of the estimated repair cost.

[0048] In STEP 9, the repairer picks up the bicycle from the reception desk and repairs it in-house. In STEP 10, after repairing the bicycle, the repairer returns it to its original location and locks it with the same special chain (chain lock). In STEP 11, the bicycle repair system notifies the customer (client) of the final repair cost.

[0049] In STEP 12, the customer (client) makes payment. In STEP 13, after confirming payment, the repairer notifies the client of the unlocking number for the number lock on the box containing the key to unlock the special chain (chain lock) attached to the bicycle.

[0050] In STEP 14, the customer (requester) unlocks the dedicated chain (chain lock) and returns the dedicated chain (chain lock) and key to the box. In STEP 15, the customer (requester) receives the repaired bicycle and ends their use of the bicycle repair system.

[0051] Next, the effects of the bicycle repair system 10 described above will be explained. In an embodiment of the present invention, the bicycle repair system 10 comprises a requester terminal 20 connected to a network 11, where the requester inputs and sends request information and receives repair information; a repairer terminal 30 that receives the request information and inputs and sends repair information; a reception desk 21 where bicycles 50 are parked; a box 22 with an opening / closing door 23; a box number lock 24 that locks the opening / closing door 23 with a number; a chain lock 26 that is stored in the box 22 and locks the bicycle 50; and a chain lock unlocking means 27 that unlocks the chain lock 26.This eliminates the need for expensive equipment such as a rack device with a vehicle locking device and vehicle sensor, or a fee settlement device, as in prior art.The present invention can be constructed entirely from inexpensive parts, thereby reducing the overall cost of the facility.

[0052] Furthermore, in bicycle repair system 10, the requester enters personal information and image information of the area of ​​bicycle 50 they wish to have repaired into requester terminal 20 as request information and sends it to repairer terminal 30, whereupon repairer terminal 30 automatically sends an unlocking number for box number lock 24 to requester terminal 20, the requester uses the unlocking number to unlock box number lock 24, removes chain lock 26 from box 22 and locks bicycle 50, and the requester picks up bicycle 50 after the repair is complete, allowing the requester of bicycle 50 repair to request repair and pick up repaired bicycle 50 at their own convenience. Furthermore, the repairer picks up bicycle 50 from reception desk 21, repairs it, returns the repaired bicycle 50 to its original location and locks it with chain lock 26, improving security to prevent theft of repaired bicycle 50.

[0053] Furthermore, the chain lock unlocking means 27 that unlocks the chain lock 26 is a physically separate key, which improves security by preventing theft of the bicycle 50 after repairs are completed.

[0054] Furthermore, since the repairer's terminal 30 is equipped with a sub-repairer's mobile terminal 31 connected via the network 11, the repairer can be notified of the receipt of a repair request wherever he is and can respond to the repair request promptly. Furthermore, by preparing multiple sub-repairer's mobile terminals 31, if there are multiple repairers, the person who is most able to respond can be made to make the repair.

[0055] Furthermore, in the bicycle repair system 10, after the unlocking number for the box number lock 24 is automatically sent from the repairer terminal 30 to the requester terminal 20, the repairer checks the request information including personal information and image information and notifies the requester of an approximate repair cost for the bicycle 50 by sending it from the repairer terminal 30 to the requester terminal 20.The requester can then check the approximate repair cost for the bicycle 50 and then send confirmation of the repair request from the requester terminal 20 to the repairer terminal 30.This means that the requester can check how much the repair will cost before requesting repairs, preventing discrepancies in costs before and after requesting repairs and preventing cost-related problems.

[0056] Furthermore, the repairer collects the bicycle 50 from the reception desk, repairs it, returns the repaired bicycle 50 to its original location and locks it with the chain lock 26. After that, the repairer transmits information about the final repair cost for the bicycle 50 from the repairer's terminal 30 to the client's terminal 20. The client makes the payment and the repairer confirms the payment, and then transmits to the client's terminal 20 the unlocking number for the box number lock 24 of the box containing the key to unlock the locked chain lock 26. This eliminates the need for expensive equipment such as a fee settlement device as in the prior art, and makes it possible to ensure cost recovery from the client with inexpensive equipment.

[0057] Furthermore, the chain lock unlocking means 27 that unlocks the chain lock 26 is a chain lock number, and the repairer collects the bicycle 50 from the reception desk, repairs it, returns the repaired bicycle 50 to its original location, and locks it with the chain lock 26. After that, the repairer sends information about the final repair cost for the bicycle 50 from the repairer terminal 30 to the client terminal 20. The client makes payment and the repairer confirms the payment, and then sends to the client terminal 20 the chain lock number that unlocks the locked chain lock 26. This eliminates the need for expensive equipment such as a fee settlement device as in the prior art, and makes it possible to reliably collect costs from the client with inexpensive equipment.

[0058] In the embodiment, the chain lock unlocking means 27 for unlocking the chain lock 26 is a physically separate key, but this is not limiting and the chain lock unlocking means may be a chain lock number. This prevents the key from being lost and makes the overall system more inexpensive.

[0059] In addition, in the embodiment, the chain lock 26 is a chain-like lock, but it is not limited to this and may be a wire-like lock or a solid, curved metal lock that is difficult to cut, thereby improving security.

[0060] That is, the present invention is not limited to the examples as long as the functions and effects of the present invention are exhibited. [Industrial Applicability]
