[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5446998 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, if, after the user of the vehicle has left the parking lot, the user forgets to give instructions to another vehicle that has temporarily left the road to be re-parked in the parking lot, the other vehicle may be left abandoned on the road, which may obstruct the passage of vehicles traveling on that road.

[0005] One object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique capable of avoiding a situation in which another vehicle that has temporarily exited onto the road after the host vehicle has exited is left abandoned on the road. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A first aspect of the present disclosure relates to an entry / exit support device for a first and second vehicle parked in a parallel parking lot facing a road. The entry / exit support device includes an information processing device that communicates with a user terminal of the first vehicle and a control terminal of the second vehicle. At least the second vehicle is a vehicle having an automatic entry / exit function. When the second vehicle is parked between the entrance / exit of the parking lot connected to the road and the first vehicle, the information processing device transmits a temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle received from the user terminal to the control terminal. Furthermore, when the information processing device receives an entry instruction for the second vehicle from the user terminal after receiving the temporary exit instruction, it transmits an entry instruction to the control terminal. Furthermore, when the information processing device does not receive an entry instruction until a predetermined time has passed after receiving the temporary exit instruction, it transmits a warning notification to the user terminal.

[0007] A second aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for assisting in entry and exit of a first and a second vehicle parked in a parallel parking lot facing a road. The method for assisting in entry and exit includes, when at least the second vehicle is a vehicle having an automatic entry / exit function and the second vehicle is parked between the entrance / exit of the parking lot connected to the road and the first vehicle, transmitting a temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle received from a user terminal of the first vehicle to a control terminal of the second vehicle, transmitting an entry instruction to the control terminal when an entry instruction for the second vehicle is received from the user terminal after receiving the temporary exit instruction, and transmitting a warning notification to the user terminal when an entry instruction is not received until a predetermined time has elapsed after receiving the temporary exit instruction. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present disclosure, if a parking instruction is not received within a predetermined time after a temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle is received, a warning notification is sent to the user terminal. The warning notification can make the user of the first vehicle aware that a parking instruction for the second vehicle that was temporarily exited to allow the first vehicle to leave the parking lot has not been sent from the user terminal, so that the second vehicle can be prevented from being left abandoned on the road facing the parking lot. This eliminates the obstruction to the passage of vehicles traveling on the road. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 6] FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of a warehouse entry / exit support device according to the fourth embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A storage / retrieval assistance device and a storage / retrieval assistance method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0011] 1. First embodiment 1-1. Overview FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview and a specific example of a parking entry / exit support device 1 according to a first embodiment. The parking entry / exit support device 1 is a device that supports the entry and exit of a vehicle parked in a parallel parking type parking lot 7 (hereinafter referred to as a parking lot 7) facing a road 8 on which general vehicles 9 pass. The vehicles that are parallel parked in the parking lot 7 include at least one host vehicle (hereinafter referred to as a first vehicle 2) and at least one other vehicle (hereinafter referred to as a second vehicle 3). The first vehicle 2 may be an autonomous vehicle, a manually driven vehicle, or a vehicle having an automatic parking entry / exit function. The second vehicle 3 is a vehicle having an automatic parking entry / exit function. An example of a vehicle having an automatic parking entry / exit function is an AVP (Automated Valet Parking) vehicle.

[0012] Here, as shown in case (A) of Fig. 1, consider a case where the second vehicle 3 is parked between the entrance / exit of a parking lot 7 connected to a road 8 and the first vehicle 2. In this case, when the first vehicle 2 leaves the parking lot, it is necessary to have the second vehicle 3 temporarily leave the parking lot on the road 8. Therefore, according to the parking lot entry / exit support device 1, an instruction to temporarily leave the parking lot is issued to the second vehicle 3 when the first vehicle 2 leaves the parking lot. A specific example of the parking lot entry / exit support device 1 according to the first embodiment will be described below.

[0013] 1-2.Specific examples As shown in case (A) of FIG. 1, the entry / exit support device 1 includes an information processing device 10. The information processing device 10 includes a processor and a storage device. The processor executes various processes. For example, the processor includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The storage device stores various information. Examples of the storage device include a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory, a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and an SSD (Solid State Drive). The storage device stores an entry / exit support program and the like. The entry / exit support program is a computer program that supports the entry and exit of a first vehicle 2 parallel parked in a parking lot 7. The processor executes the entry / exit support program, thereby realizing various processes by the information processing device 10. The entry / exit support program may be recorded in a recording medium that can be read by the information processing device 10.

[0014] The information processing device 10 also includes a user terminal 5 of a user 4 who uses the first vehicle 2, and a communication device capable of communicating with a control terminal 6 provided in the second vehicle 3. The user 4 includes the driver, passengers other than the driver, etc. Examples of the user terminal 5 include a smartphone, a display mounted on the first vehicle 2, etc. Examples of the control terminal 6 include an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), etc.

[0015] As shown in case (A) of Fig. 1, when the information processing device 10 receives a temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle 3 from the user terminal 5, it transmits the temporary exit instruction to the control terminal 6. Thereafter, when the information processing device 10 receives a loading instruction from the user terminal 5 to cause the temporarily released second vehicle 3 to re-enter the parking lot 7, as shown in case (B) of Fig. 1, it transmits the loading instruction to the control terminal 6. Then, as shown in case (C) of Fig. 1, the second vehicle 3 is re-entered into the parking lot 7 in accordance with the loading instruction.

[0016] Here, in case (B) of FIG. 1, a case where the entry instruction of the second vehicle 3 is not transmitted from the user terminal 5 to the information processing device 10 is considered. In this case, the information processing device 10 does not transmit the entry instruction of the second vehicle 3 to the control terminal 6. As a result, the second vehicle 3 is not re-entered into the parking lot 7, and the second vehicle 3 is left abandoned on the road 8, which may cause an obstruction to the passage of general vehicles 9 traveling on the road 8. Therefore, if the entry instruction of the second vehicle 3 is not received within a predetermined time after the temporary exit instruction of the second vehicle 3 is received, the information processing device 10 transmits a warning notice to the user terminal 5 as shown in case (D) of FIG. 1. The warning notice is, for example, a notice to encourage the user 4 of the first vehicle 2 who has forgotten to re-enter the second vehicle 3 after the first vehicle 2 leaves the parking lot to re-enter the second vehicle 3.

[0017] In this way, according to the entry / exit support device 1 of the first embodiment, when a parking instruction for the second vehicle 3 is received from the user terminal 5 after receiving a temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle 3, a parking instruction for the second vehicle 3 is transmitted to the control terminal 6. Also, according to the entry / exit support device 1 of the first embodiment, when a parking instruction for the second vehicle 3 is not received until a predetermined time has elapsed after receiving a temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle 3, a warning notice is transmitted to the user terminal 5. The warning notice can make the user 4 of the first vehicle 2 aware that a parking instruction for the second vehicle 3 that has temporarily exited the parking lot in order to allow the first vehicle 2 to leave the parking lot has not been transmitted from the user terminal 5, and therefore it is possible to avoid a state in which the second vehicle 3 is left abandoned on the road 8 facing the parking lot 7. Therefore, the obstruction of passage for general vehicles 9 traveling on the road 8 is eliminated.

[0018] 1-3. Processing example FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the information processing device 10 in the storage / retrieval support device 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0019] In step S100, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not a temporary leaving instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received. If it is determined that a temporary leaving instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received (step S100; Yes), the process proceeds to step S110. Otherwise (step S100; No), the process ends.

[0020] In step S110, the information processing device 10 transmits a temporary leaving instruction for the second vehicle 3 to the control terminal 6. After that, the process proceeds to step S120.

[0021] In step S120, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not a warehousing instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received. If it is determined that a warehousing instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received (step S120; Yes), the process proceeds to step S130. Otherwise (step S120; No), the process proceeds to step S140.

[0022] In step S130, the information processing device 10 transmits an instruction to the control terminal 6 to allow the second vehicle 3 to enter the warehouse.

[0023] In step S140, the information processing device 10 judges whether or not a predetermined time has passed since the temporary leaving instruction was received. If it is judged that the predetermined time has passed since the temporary leaving instruction was received (step S140; Yes), the process proceeds to step S150. Otherwise (step S140; No), the process returns to step S120.

[0024] In step S150, the information processing device 10 transmits a warning notice to the user terminal 5.

[0025] 1-4.Modifications 1-4-1. First example The above-mentioned instruction for temporary exit of the second vehicle 3 may include information on the stopping position on the road 8 from which the second vehicle 3 temporarily exits. For example, the stopping position on the road 8 from which the second vehicle 3 temporarily exits may be the shoulder of the road 8, 3 meters ahead of the entrance / exit of the parking lot 7. This makes it possible to prevent the second vehicle 3 from stopping in the center of the road 8. Therefore, obstruction to the passage of general vehicles 9 traveling on the road 8 is eliminated.

[0026] 1-4-2. Second example The above-mentioned entry instruction for the second vehicle 3 may include information on the entry position of the parking lot 7. For example, if the parking lot 7 can accommodate two vehicles and has two parking positions, one at the entrance and one at the back of the parking lot 7, the entry instruction for the second vehicle 3 may specify the entry position of the second vehicle 3 at the back of the parking lot 7. This allows the first vehicle 2 to enter the parking lot without the second vehicle 3 having to temporarily leave the parking lot 7. This makes it possible to reduce the time required for the first vehicle 2 to enter the parking lot. Therefore, when the first vehicle 2 enters the parking lot, the first vehicle 2 does not obstruct the passage of general vehicles 9 traveling on the road 8.

[0027] 2. Second embodiment In the entrance / exit support device 1 according to the first embodiment, if a parking instruction for the second vehicle 3 is not received until a predetermined time has elapsed after a temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle 3 is received, a warning notice is sent to the user terminal 5. However, it is assumed that the entrance / exit support device 1 does not receive a parking instruction for the second vehicle 3 from the user terminal 5 after sending the warning notice to the user terminal 5. In this case, the second vehicle 3 will be left abandoned on the road 8, which may cause an obstruction to the passage of general vehicles 9 traveling on the road 8.

[0028] Therefore, according to the entry / exit support device 1 of the second embodiment, if a parking instruction for the second vehicle 3 is not received from the user terminal 5 until a predetermined time has elapsed after sending a warning notification to the user terminal 5, a forced entry instruction for the second vehicle 3 is sent to the control terminal 6. This makes it possible to avoid a state in which the second vehicle 3 is left abandoned on the road 8. This eliminates the obstruction to the passage of general vehicles 9 traveling on the road 8. Below, a detailed description is given of an example of processing by the information processing device 10 in the entry / exit support device 1 of the second embodiment.

[0029] FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the information processing device 10 in the warehouse entry / exit support device 1 according to the second embodiment.

[0030] In step S200, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not a temporary leaving instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received. If it is determined that a temporary leaving instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received (step S200; Yes), the process proceeds to step S210. Otherwise (step S200; No), the process ends.

[0031] In step S210, the information processing device 10 transmits a temporary leaving instruction for the second vehicle 3 to the control terminal 6. After that, the process proceeds to step S220.

[0032] In step S220, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not a warehousing instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received. If it is determined that a warehousing instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received (step S220; Yes), the process proceeds to step S230. Otherwise (step S220; No), the process proceeds to step S240.

[0033] In step S230, the information processing device 10 transmits an instruction to the control terminal 6 to allow the second vehicle 3 to enter the warehouse.

[0034] In step S240, the information processing device 10 judges whether a predetermined time has passed since the temporary release was received. If it is judged that the predetermined time has passed (step S240; Yes), the process proceeds to step S250. Otherwise (step S240; No), the process returns to step S220.

[0035] In step S250, the information processing device 10 transmits a warning notification to the user terminal 5. After that, the process proceeds to step S260.

[0036] In step S260, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not a warehousing instruction has been received for the second vehicle 3. If it is determined that a warehousing instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received (step S260; Yes), the process proceeds to step S230. Otherwise (step S260; No), the process proceeds to step S270.

[0037] In step S270, the information processing device 10 judges whether or not a predetermined time has passed since the temporary leaving instruction was received. If it is judged that the predetermined time has passed since the temporary leaving instruction was received (step S270; Yes), the process proceeds to step S280. Otherwise (step S270; No), the process returns to step S260.

[0038] In step S280, the information processing device 10 transmits to the control terminal 6 an instruction to forcibly store the second vehicle 3.

[0039] 3. Third embodiment Here, let us consider the congestion state of the road 8 from which the second vehicle 3 temporarily leaves the parking lot. It is assumed that the road 8 is congested depending on the time of day when the first vehicle 2 leaves the parking lot. If the time from when the second vehicle 3 temporarily leaves the parking lot to when it re-enters the parking lot is long, it may hinder the passage of general vehicles 9. For this reason, it is necessary to shorten the time from when the second vehicle 3 temporarily leaves the parking lot to when it re-enters the parking lot. According to the parking lot entry / exit support device 1 according to the third embodiment, if the surroundings of the second vehicle 3 are congested when the second vehicle 3 temporarily leaves the parking lot, before sending the attention notification to the user terminal 5, another attention notification is sent to the user terminal 5. A specific example of the parking lot entry / exit support device 1 according to the third embodiment will be described below.

[0040] FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of the entrance / exit support device 1 according to the third embodiment. As shown in case (A) of FIG. 4, when the area around the second vehicle 3 is congested, the entrance / exit support device 1 transmits another attention notification to the user terminal 5. Specifically, when the congestion level indicating the congestion state of the road 8 from which the second vehicle 3 temporarily leaves is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, that is, when the congestion level of the road 8 is high, the entrance / exit support device 1 transmits another attention notification to the user terminal 5. The congestion level of the road 8 may be classified based on, for example, the number of general vehicles 9 present around the second vehicle 3. In addition, the number of general vehicles 9 may be recognized based on a camera image acquired by a camera mounted on the second vehicle 3, or may be recognized based on an infrastructure camera image acquired by an infrastructure camera installed near the parking lot 7. The other attention notification is, for example, a notification that alerts the user 4 of the first vehicle 2 to reenter the second vehicle 3 because the area around the second vehicle 3 is congested. Examples of the notification device include a speaker, a light, and the like.

[0041] Thereafter, as shown in case (B) of Fig. 4, when the entry / exit support device 1 receives from the user terminal 5 an entry instruction to cause the temporarily exited second vehicle 3 to re-enter the parking lot 7, the entry / exit support device 1 transmits the entry instruction to the control terminal 6. Then, as shown in case (C) of Fig. 4, the second vehicle 3 is re-entered into the parking lot 7 in accordance with the entry instruction.

[0042] 1, it is assumed that the entry instruction for the second vehicle 3 is not transmitted from the user terminal 5 to the entry / exit support device 1. Therefore, if the entry / exit support device 1 does not receive an entry instruction for the second vehicle 3 until a predetermined time has elapsed after receiving a temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle 3, it transmits a warning notification to the user terminal 5.

[0043] In this way, according to the entry / exit support device 1 of the third embodiment, if the area around the second vehicle 3 is congested when the second vehicle 3 temporarily leaves the parking lot, before sending a warning notification to the user terminal 5, another warning notification is sent to the user terminal 5. This shortens the time from when the second vehicle 3 temporarily leaves the parking lot to when it re-enters the parking lot. Therefore, the obstruction of passage for general vehicles 9 traveling on the road 8 is eliminated. Below, a detailed description is given of an example of processing by the information processing device 10 in the entry / exit support device 1 of the third embodiment.

[0044] FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the information processing device 10 in the warehouse entry / exit support device 1 according to the third embodiment.

[0045] In step S300, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not a temporary leaving instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received. If it is determined that a temporary leaving instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received (step S300; Yes), the process proceeds to step S310. Otherwise (step S300; No), the process ends.

[0046] In step S310, the information processing device 10 transmits a temporary leaving instruction for the second vehicle 3 to the control terminal 6. After that, the process proceeds to step S320.

[0047] In step S320, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not the area around the second vehicle 3 is congested. If it is determined that the area around the second vehicle 3 is congested (step S320; Yes), the process proceeds to step S330. Otherwise (step S320; No), the process proceeds to step S120 or step S220.

[0048] In step S330, the information processing device 10 transmits another alert notification to the user terminal 5. After that, the process proceeds to step S340.

[0049] In step S340, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not a warehousing instruction has been received for the second vehicle 3. If it is determined that a warehousing instruction for the second vehicle 3 has been received (step S340; Yes), the process proceeds to step S350. Otherwise (step S340; No), the process proceeds to step S360.

[0050] In step S350, the information processing device 10 transmits an instruction to the control terminal 6 to allow the second vehicle 3 to enter the warehouse.

[0051] In step S360, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not a predetermined time has passed since another alert notification was transmitted. If it is determined that the predetermined time has passed since another alert notification was transmitted (step S360; Yes), the process proceeds to step S370. Otherwise (step S360; No), the process returns to step S340.

[0052] In step S370, the information processing device 10 transmits to the control terminal 6 an instruction to forcibly store the second vehicle 3.

[0053] 4. Fourth embodiment In the storage / retrieval support device 1 according to the third embodiment, when the area around the second vehicle 3 is congested, another attention notification is sent to the user terminal 5. However, the second vehicle 3 is made to wait on the congested road 8 from when the second vehicle 3 leaves the parking lot until the first vehicle 2 issues an instruction to enter the second vehicle 3. In this case, the waiting place for the second vehicle 3 may be changed from the congested road 8 to a road that is not congested. Therefore, according to the storage / retrieval support device 1 according to the fourth embodiment, when the area around the second vehicle 3 is congested at the time of temporary leaving the parking lot, the waiting place for the second vehicle 3 is changed from the place set in the instruction to temporarily leave the parking lot to another place. A specific example of the storage / retrieval support device 1 according to the fourth embodiment will be described below.

[0054] Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of the entrance / exit support device 1 according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in case (A) of Fig. 6, when the area around the second vehicle 3 is congested, the entrance / exit support device 1 changes the stopping position 20 on the road 8 set in the temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle 3 to a stopping position 40 on a road 30 with a low congestion level. The road 30 with a low congestion level means, for example, a road with a congestion level below a predetermined level.

[0055] Then, the entry / exit assistance device 1 transmits a standby instruction to the control terminal 6 to wait at the parking position 40 on the road 30 with a low congestion level until the first vehicle 2 issues an instruction to enter the second vehicle 3. Thereafter, as shown in case (B) of Fig. 6, the second vehicle 3 waits at the parking position 40 on the road 30 with a low congestion level in accordance with the standby instruction.

[0056] In this way, according to the entrance / exit support device 1 of the fourth embodiment, if the area around the second vehicle 3 is congested when the second vehicle temporarily leaves the parking lot, the waiting area for the second vehicle 3 is changed from the area set in the instruction for temporary exit of the second vehicle 3 to another area. This makes it possible to prevent the second vehicle 3 from stopping on the congested road 8 after the second vehicle 3 leaves the parking lot until the first vehicle 2 issues an instruction for the second vehicle 3 to enter the parking lot. This eliminates the obstruction of passage for general vehicles 9 traveling on the road 8.

[0057] 5. Fifth embodiment In the entry / exit support device 1 according to the first embodiment, if a temporary exit instruction for the second vehicle 3 is received, and then an entry instruction for the second vehicle 3 is not received until a predetermined time has elapsed, a warning notification is sent to the user terminal 5. In addition, in the entry / exit support device 1 according to the third embodiment, if the area around the second vehicle 3 is crowded, another warning notification is sent to the user terminal 5 before sending the warning notification to the user terminal 5. However, the warning to the user 4 of the first vehicle 2 is not limited to being sent via the user terminal 5. For example, a warning device provided in the second vehicle 3 may be operated when the warning notification is sent to the user terminal 5 to further notify the user 4 of the first vehicle 2 of a special warning encouraging the user 4 of the first vehicle 2 to re-enter the second vehicle 3. Examples of the warning device include a speaker, a light, and the like.

[0058] In this way, according to the entry / exit assistance device 1 of the fifth embodiment, a notification instruction to call special attention to the user 4 of the first vehicle 2 is transmitted to the second vehicle 3. This makes it possible to prompt the user 4 of the first vehicle 2 who has forgotten to enter the second vehicle 3 after the first vehicle 2 has left the parking lot to re-enter the second vehicle 3. This makes it possible to avoid a situation in which the second vehicle 3 is left abandoned on the road 8. This eliminates the obstruction of passage for general vehicles 9 traveling on the road 8.
