Therefore, by using such mobile body communication, communication can be selectively performed only with mobile bodies 100 located within the communication range of the mobile body communication unit 111.
[0097] As described above, the mobile body 100 is provided with a reservation transfer unit 122. When the usage restriction information is acquired by the usage restriction information acquisition unit 116, the reservation transfer unit 122 may transfer the usage reservation to the available mobile body 100B, which is another available mobile body 100. The transfer of the usage reservation may be performed, for example, as follows. That is, the reservation transfer unit 122 provided in the mobile body 100 inquires of the other mobile body 100 whether or not the usage reservation of the other mobile body 100 has been made. If the usage reservation of the other mobile body 100 has been made, the reservation transfer unit 122 further inquires of the other mobile body 100. If the usage reservation of the inquired other mobile body 100 has not been made, the reservation transfer unit 122 may transfer the usage reservation to the other mobile body 100. That is, if the inquired other mobile body 100 is the available mobile body 100B, the reservation transfer unit 122 transfers the usage reservation to the available mobile body 100B. In this manner, according to this embodiment, the utilization reservation can be transferred to the available mobile unit 100B located within the communication range of the inter-mobile unit communication unit 111.
[0098] As described above, when the management device 400 accepts a usage reservation, the management device 400 provides the registration identification information, etc. to the mobile body 100 for which the usage reservation has been made. In contrast, when the usage reservation is transferred by the reservation transfer unit 122 provided in the maintenance-required mobile body 100A, the reservation transfer unit 122 provided in the maintenance-required mobile body 100A provides the registration identification information, etc. to the available mobile body 100B. When the registration identification information, etc. is provided from the maintenance-required mobile body 100A to the available mobile body 100B, the authentication unit 126 provided in the available mobile body 100B performs the following process. That is, in this case, the authentication unit 126 provided in the available mobile body 100B stores the registration identification information provided from the maintenance-required mobile body 100A in the storage unit 104 provided in the available mobile body 100B. In this way, the transfer of the usage reservation from the maintenance-required mobile body 100A to the available mobile body 100B can be performed using inter-mobile body communication.
[0099] FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment.
[0100] In step S21, the usage restriction information acquisition unit 116 provided in the mobile unit 100 acquires usage restriction information. Then, the process proceeds to step S22.
[0101] In step S22, the inter-mobile body communication unit 111 provided in the mobile body 100 communicates with the other mobile bodies 100. That is, the inter-mobile body communication unit 111 provided in the maintenance requiring mobile body 100A communicates with the other mobile bodies 100. If the available mobile body 100B is present within the communication range of the inter-mobile body communication unit 111 (YES in step S23), the process proceeds to step S24. If the available mobile body 100B is not present within the communication range of the inter-mobile body communication unit 111 (NO in step S23), the process shown in FIG. 6 is completed.
[0102] In step S24, the reservation transfer unit 122 provided in the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A transfers the utilization reservation to the available mobile object 100B, thus completing the process shown in FIG.
[0103] The inter-mobile body communication using the inter-mobile body communication unit 111 may be used as follows. That is, information about one mobile body 100 is supplied from one mobile body 100 to another mobile body 100 through inter-mobile body communication. The other mobile body 100 that receives the information about the one mobile body 100 through inter-mobile body communication supplies the information about the one mobile body 100 to the management device 400 using the communication unit 112. In this way, the information about the one mobile body 100 can be supplied to the management device 400 via the other mobile body 100. It is useful to use such a method in cases where the one mobile body 100 cannot communicate using the communication unit 112, etc.
[0104] The maintenance-requiring mobile object information may be provided by a user of the sharing system 12, or by a person other than the user of the sharing system 12.

[0114] As described above, the owner of mobile communication terminal 200A is not a user of sharing system 12. Therefore, a program for causing a computer to execute the management method according to the present embodiment and the like is not installed in mobile communication terminal 200A. Therefore, it is preferable that information for establishing communication between mobile communication terminal 200A and management device 400 is provided to mobile communication terminal 200A. Information for establishing communication between mobile communication terminal 200A and management device 400 may be provided by information presenting unit 110 provided in mobile object 100, for example, but is not limited to this.
[0115] As described above, information presenting unit 110 may include, for example, a QR code (registered trademark). The QR code (registered trademark) may provide information for establishing communication between mobile communication terminal 200A and management device 400. For example, information indicating the URL of management device 400 may be presented by the QR code (registered trademark). The QR code (registered trademark) may be captured by imaging unit 206A included in mobile communication terminal 200A. Control unit 214A included in mobile communication terminal 200A analyzes the presentation information included in the image acquired by imaging unit 206A. As described above, information indicating the URL of management device 400 may be presented by the QR code (registered trademark). Control unit 214A may acquire information regarding the URL of management device 400 in this manner. Control unit 214A accesses management device 400 based on the information acquired in this manner. In this manner, communication may be established between mobile communication terminal 200A and management device 400.
[0116] When communication is established between mobile communication terminal 200A and management device 400, an input screen for inputting maintenance-requiring mobile object information is displayed on display unit 210A provided on mobile communication terminal 200A. The owner of mobile communication terminal 200A inputs maintenance-requiring mobile object information by performing an input operation on the input screen. The maintenance-requiring mobile object information thus input is provided from mobile communication terminal 200A to management device 400. Thus, according to this embodiment, even if application software for using sharing system 12 is not installed in mobile communication terminal 200A, maintenance-requiring mobile object information can be quickly provided to management device 400.
[0117] FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment.
[0118] In step S31, the mobile communication terminal 200A reads the presentation information presented by the information presentation unit 110. After that, the process proceeds to step S32.
[0119] In step S32, mobile communication terminal 200A accesses management device 400. After that, the process proceeds to step S33.

In this way, the process shown in FIG. 11 is completed.
[0138] The defect content determination unit 225 provided in the mobile terminal 200 may determine the defect content, which is the content of the defect occurring in the mobile object 100. The defect content determination unit 225 may determine the defect content, for example, based on an image acquired by the imaging unit 206. For example, a part of the mobile object 100 is imaged by the imaging unit 206. When an image of a tire provided in the mobile object 100 is imaged by the imaging unit 206, the defect content determination unit 225 may determine whether or not the tire is punctured. For example, the defect content determination unit 225 may determine whether or not the tire is punctured by comparing a reference image showing the punctured tire with an image acquired by the imaging unit 206, but is not limited thereto. Such a reference image may be stored in advance in the storage unit 204 provided in the mobile terminal 200, but is not limited thereto. A display control unit 226 included in the mobile terminal 200 may display the defect content determined by the defect content determination unit 225 on a display unit 210 included in the mobile terminal 200. In this manner, the user may be able to understand the defect content occurring in the moving object 100.

If the available mobile object 100B is not present at a position less than the first distance from the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A (NO in step S93), the control unit 408 transitions to step S95.
[0154] In step S94, the notification unit 418 notifies the mobile terminal 200 of utilization reservation change information for changing the utilization reservation to the available mobile object 100B that is present at a position less than the first distance from the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. Then, the process proceeds to step S96.
[0155] In step S95, the notification unit 418 notifies the mobile terminal 200 of reservation change information for changing the reservation to an available mobile object 100B that is located at a position equal to or greater than the first distance and less than the second distance from the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. Then, the process proceeds to step S96.
[0156] In step S96, the display control unit 226 included in the mobile terminal 200 displays the utilization reservation change information on the display unit 210. In this way, the process shown in FIG.
[0157] As described above, the reception unit 216 provided in the mobile terminal 200 receives input of maintenance-required mobile object information, which is information related to the maintenance-required mobile object 100A. As described above, the maintenance-required mobile object information providing unit 220 provided in the mobile terminal 200 provides the maintenance-required mobile object information received by the reception unit 216 to the management device 400. As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a selection unit 420. The selection unit 420 may select a destination of the maintenance-required information for entrusting maintenance work on the maintenance-required mobile object 100A. The number of destinations is not particularly limited. The selection unit 420 may select a destination of the maintenance-required information from among a plurality of maintenance members registered in advance.
[0158] The selection unit 420 may select a destination of the required maintenance information based on the location of the maintenance-required mobile body 100A corresponding to the maintenance-required mobile body information and the location of the maintenance member. For example, the selection unit 420 may select a maintenance member located at a distance less than a predetermined distance from the maintenance-required mobile body 100A as a destination of the required maintenance information. The selection unit 420 may select a destination of the required maintenance information based on the defect content information and the available work information indicating the maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle. The selection unit 420 selects a maintenance member who can handle the defect specified by the defect content information as a destination of the required maintenance information. On the other hand, the selection unit 420 does not select a maintenance member who cannot handle the defect specified by the defect content information as a destination of the required maintenance information. The required maintenance information distribution unit 414 distributes the required maintenance information to the terminal device 300 held by the maintenance member selected by the selection unit 420.
[0159] As described above, the management device 400 may include the member evaluation unit 422. The member evaluation unit 422 may generate member evaluation information, which is information indicating an evaluation of a maintenance member, based on work evaluation information, which is information indicating an evaluation of a maintenance work performed by the maintenance member.
[0160] The work evaluation information may include, for example, information regarding the evaluation of the work quality, which is the quality of the maintenance work provided by the maintenance member. If the quality of the work provided by the maintenance member is relatively high, the member evaluation unit 422 may set the evaluation of the maintenance member to be relatively high. The work quality may be determined from a long-term perspective. That is, the work quality of the maintenance work may be determined based on the period until the one mobile body 100 again requires the same maintenance work as the one maintenance work performed on the one mobile body 100. Also, for example, the work quality of the maintenance work may be determined based on the travel distance of the one mobile body 100 until the one mobile body 100 again requires the same maintenance work as the one maintenance work performed on the one mobile body 100.
[0161] The work evaluation information may include information regarding the evaluation of the difficulty of the maintenance work provided by the maintenance member. If the difficulty of the maintenance work provided by the maintenance member is relatively high, the member evaluation unit 422 may set the evaluation of the maintenance member to be relatively high.
[0162] The work evaluation information may include information regarding the evaluation of the promptness of the response of the maintenance member. If the response of the maintenance member is prompt, the member evaluation unit 422 may set the evaluation of the maintenance member relatively high.
[0163] The work evaluation information may include information regarding the evaluation of the appropriateness of the parts selected by the maintenance member. If the parts selected by the maintenance member during the maintenance work are appropriate, the member evaluation unit 422 may set a relatively high evaluation for the maintenance member. As described above, for example, for a moving body 100 used in an area prone to salt damage, it is preferable to select parts that have been sufficiently treated with anti-rust treatment. Also, as described above, for a moving body 100 used in an area with many slopes, it is preferable to select brake pads with sufficient durability.
[0164] The member evaluation section 422 can generate member evaluation information about a maintenance member by comprehensively evaluating a plurality of pieces of work evaluation information about the maintenance member.
[0165] The work evaluation information may be generated based on at least one of a maintenance history and a usage history of the mobile body 100. For example, the period until a mobile body 100 again requires maintenance work having the same content as a maintenance work performed on the mobile body 100 may be understood based on the maintenance history of the mobile body 100. Also, for example, the travel distance of the mobile body 100 until the mobile body 100 again requires maintenance work having the same content as a maintenance work performed on the mobile body 100 may be understood based on the usage history of the mobile body 100.
[0166] The selection unit 420 may select a maintenance member based on the member evaluation information generated by the member evaluation unit 422. The selection unit 420 may, for example, preferentially select a maintenance member with a relatively high evaluation.
[0167] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with a remuneration information input receiving unit 316. The remuneration information input receiving unit 316 may receive an input of remuneration information, which is information regarding remuneration when the maintenance member performs maintenance work. Such remuneration information may be set for each of a plurality of types of maintenance work. The input of the remuneration information may be received as follows. That is, the display control unit 330 provided in the terminal device 300 displays an input screen for inputting the remuneration information on the display unit 310 provided in the terminal device 300. The remuneration information may be input by the maintenance member on the input screen. The remuneration information input in this manner may be received by the remuneration information input receiving unit 316.
[0168] When the remuneration information input receiving unit 316 receives an input of the remuneration information, the control unit 314 included in the terminal device 300 supplies the remuneration information related to the maintenance member to the management device 400. As described above, the remuneration information related to each maintenance member may be stored in the maintenance member information storage unit 432. As described above, the remuneration information may be set for each of a plurality of types of maintenance work that the maintenance member may provide.
[0169] The selection unit 420 may select a maintenance member based on remuneration information corresponding to the maintenance member. For example, if there are multiple maintenance members who can perform the maintenance work required by the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A, the selection unit 420 may select the maintenance member who has the lowest remuneration for the maintenance work.
[0170] FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment.
[0171] In step S101, the reception unit 216 included in the mobile terminal 200 receives input of maintenance-required mobile object information, which is information related to the maintenance-required mobile object 100A. Then, the process proceeds to step S102.
[0172] In step S102, the maintenance-requiring mobile object information providing unit 220 included in the mobile terminal 200 provides the maintenance-requiring mobile object information to the management device 400. After that, the process proceeds to step S103.
[0173] In step S103, the selection unit 420 in the management device 400 selects a delivery destination of the maintenance requirement information. Then, the process proceeds to step S104.
[0174] In step S104, the management device 400 distributes the maintenance-required information to the distribution destination selected by the selection unit 420. In this way, the process shown in FIG.
[0175] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with a completion information receiving unit 318. The completion information receiving unit 318 may receive input of work completion information indicating that maintenance work on the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A has been completed. When the input of work completion information is received by the completion information receiving unit 318, the control unit 314 provided in the terminal device 300 supplies the work completion information to the management device 400. The work completion information for each maintenance work may be stored in the maintenance history storage unit 434 or the like provided in the management device 400. The management device 400 may store the position of the rental port 22 where the mobile object 100 for which maintenance work has been completed was located as the position of the maintenance member.
[0176] FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment.
[0177] In step S111, the completion information receiving unit 318 included in the terminal device 300 can receive input of task completion information. After that, the process proceeds to step S112.
[0178] In step S112, the control unit 314 included in the terminal device 300 supplies work completion information to the management device 400. After that, the process proceeds to step S113.
[0179] In step S113, the control unit 408 included in the management device 400 stores the work completion information in the maintenance history storage unit 434, etc. After that, the process proceeds to step S114.
[0180] In step S114, the control unit 408 included in the management device 400 stores the position of the rental port 22 where the mobile unit 100 for which maintenance work has been completed was located as the position of the maintenance member. In this way, the process shown in FIG.
[0181] As described above, the management device 400 may include a selection unit 420. As described above, the selection unit 420 selects a destination of the maintenance-required information from among a plurality of preregistered maintenance members based on the location of the maintenance-required mobile object 100A and the location of the maintenance member. For example, the selection unit 420 may select a maintenance member located less than a predetermined distance from the maintenance-required mobile object 100A as a destination of the maintenance-required information. The location of the maintenance member may be preregistered in the maintenance member information storage unit 432, for example, but is not limited thereto. When information indicating the current location of the terminal device 300 held by the maintenance member is supplied from the terminal device 300 to the management device 400, the location of the maintenance member may be grasped based on the current location.
[0182] The selection unit 420 may select a destination for the required maintenance information based on defect content information indicating the content of the defect occurring in the maintenance-requiring mobile body 100A and available work information indicating the maintenance work that the maintenance members can handle.
[0183] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with the required-maintenance information distribution unit 414. As described above, the required-maintenance information distribution unit 414 may distribute the required-maintenance information to the terminal device 300 owned by the maintenance member selected by the selection unit 420.
[0184] As described above, the terminal device 300 may include the display control unit 330. The display control unit 330 may display information indicating maintenance work on the display unit 310 based on the required maintenance information distributed from the management device 400.
[0185] FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen.
[0186] The display control unit 330 may display a display screen 332 on the display unit 310. A map 334 may be displayed on the display screen 332. The display control unit 330 may display information 336 indicating maintenance work on the map 334. The information 336 indicating maintenance work may be displayed at a position corresponding to the position of the maintenance-requiring mobile body 100A.
[0187] The display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 figures (symbols, marks) 338G, 338B, 338P, 338V, and 338Y according to the maintenance work. The display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 figures 338G, 338B, 338P, 338V, and 338Y in a manner according to the type of maintenance work. When describing the figures without distinguishing them, the reference symbol 338 is used, and when describing the individual figures with distinction, the reference symbols 338G, 338B, 338P, 338V, and 338Y are used. The display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 figures 338 in a color according to the type of maintenance work. For example, a first color may be applied to the figure 338 indicating a first type of maintenance work among the multiple maintenance works. A second color may be applied to the figure 338 indicating a second type of maintenance work among the multiple maintenance works. A third color may be applied to the figure 338 indicating a third type of maintenance work among the multiple maintenance works. A fourth color may be applied to the graphic 338 that indicates a fourth type of maintenance work among the plurality of maintenance works. A fifth color may be applied to the graphic 338 that indicates a fifth type of maintenance work among the plurality of maintenance works.
[0188] The display control unit 330 may display text information 340 indicating the type of maintenance work along with the graphic 338.
[0189] If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "inspection," the maintenance work may be represented, for example, by a green graphic 338G. If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "charging," the maintenance work may be represented, for example, by a blue graphic 338B. If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "maintenance," the maintenance work may be represented, for example, by a pink graphic 338P. If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "moving," the maintenance work may be represented, for example, by a purple graphic 338V. If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "cleaning," the maintenance work may be represented, for example, by a yellow graphic 338Y.
[0190] The aspect according to the type of maintenance work is not limited to a color. For example, the aspect according to the type of maintenance work may be a shape. That is, a figure 338 having a shape according to the type of maintenance work may be displayed on the display unit 310.
[0191] The display control unit 330 may display the graphic 338 on the display unit 310 in a manner according to the amount of work (man-hours) required for the maintenance work. For example, the graphic 338 may be displayed on the display unit 310 in a size according to the amount of work required for the maintenance work. For example, if the amount of work required for the maintenance work is relatively small, the maintenance work may be represented by a graphic 338 of a relatively small size. For example, if the amount of work required for the maintenance work is medium, the maintenance work may be represented by a graphic 338 of a medium size. For example, if the amount of work required for the maintenance work is relatively large, the maintenance work may be represented by a graphic 338 of a relatively large size.
[0192] The display control unit 330 may display the graphic 338 on the display unit 310 in a manner according to the distance between the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A and the maintenance member. The graphic 338 may be displayed on the display unit 310 in a size according to the distance between the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A and the maintenance member. For example, when the distance between the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A and the maintenance member is relatively small, the maintenance work may be indicated by a graphic 338 of a relatively large size. For example, when the distance between the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A and the maintenance member is medium, the maintenance work may be indicated by a graphic 338 of a medium size. For example, when the distance between the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A and the maintenance member is relatively large, the maintenance work may be indicated by a graphic 338 of a relatively large size.
[0193] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with the reception unit 315. The reception unit 315 receives an acceptance operation input, which is an input of an operation of acceptance by the maintenance member for the maintenance work displayed on the display unit 310. In other words, the reception unit 315 receives an acceptance operation input, which is an input of an operation of acceptance by the maintenance member for the maintenance work displayed on the display unit 310. The reception unit 315 may receive an acceptance operation input for the maintenance work based on an operation by the maintenance member on a figure 338 displayed on the display unit 310. When the maintenance member taps on the figure 338 displayed on the display unit 310, the maintenance member may accept the maintenance work indicated by the figure 338.
[0194] There may be cases where one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires multiple maintenance works. When one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires multiple maintenance works, the display control unit 330 may display as follows. That is, in such a case, the display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 the maintenance works that have been accepted and the maintenance works that have not been accepted among the multiple maintenance works in different manners. For example, the maintenance works selected by the maintenance member may be highlighted, and the maintenance works not selected by the maintenance member may be displayed in a flashing manner. Highlighting of the maintenance works may be performed, for example, by increasing the color density of the figure 338, but is not limited to this.
[0195] For example, if the maintenance member is available for "maintenance" but not available for "movement," the maintenance member can accept the "maintenance" but cannot accept the "movement." When the maintenance member selects, for example, the graphic 338P indicating "maintenance," the graphic 338P may be highlighted and the graphic 338V indicating "movement" may be displayed blinking. The highlighting may be performed, for example, by increasing the color density of the graphic 338P, but is not limited to this.
[0196] Fig. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen. In the example shown in Fig. 18, the graphic 338P showing "maintenance" selected by the maintenance member is highlighted. The graphic 338V showing "movement" not selected by the maintenance member is displayed in a blinking manner.
[0197] When the maintenance member selects the graphic 338P indicating the maintenance work of "maintenance" and the other maintenance member selects the graphic 338V indicating the maintenance work of "movement," the entrustment of these maintenance works may be established. In other words, multiple maintenance members may jointly undertake multiple maintenance works.
[0198] If a predetermined time has elapsed since the maintenance member selected the "maintenance" maintenance task, but the "movement" maintenance task is not selected by another maintenance member, the following will occur: That is, in such a case, the "maintenance" maintenance task selected by the maintenance member may be canceled.
[0199] When displaying information 336 indicating a maintenance task on the display unit 310, the display control unit 330 may selectively display information indicating a maintenance task that the maintenance member can handle on the display unit 310. The available task information indicating the maintenance task that the maintenance member can handle may be stored in advance in, for example, the storage unit 304 provided in the terminal device 300. The maintenance task that the maintenance member can handle may be grasped based on the available task information related to the maintenance member. Therefore, even if the maintenance required information supplied from the management device 400 includes a maintenance task that the maintenance member can handle and a maintenance task that the maintenance member cannot handle, the following occurs. That is, even in such a case, the display control unit 330 may display only the maintenance task that the maintenance member can handle on the display unit 310.
[0200] Fig. 19 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen. In the example shown in Fig. 19, only maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle is displayed. For example, if the maintenance member can only perform the maintenance work of "cleaning", the maintenance works of "inspection", "charging", "maintenance", and "moving" are not displayed on the display screen 332.
[0201] When a single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires a plurality of maintenance works, the display control unit 330 may do the following. That is, in such a case, the display control unit 330 may display the maintenance works required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A only when the maintenance member can handle all of the maintenance works required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. That is, when the maintenance member cannot handle any of the maintenance works required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A, the display control unit 330 does not display all of the maintenance works required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. As described above, the available work information indicating the maintenance works that the maintenance member can handle may be stored in advance in, for example, the storage unit 304 provided in the terminal device 300. Whether the maintenance member can handle all of the maintenance works required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A may be understood based on the available work information related to the maintenance member. Therefore, the display control unit 330 can display on the display unit 310 the maintenance work required by one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A when all of the multiple maintenance works required by the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A can be handled.
[0202] 20 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen. For example, a case will be described in which one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires both "maintenance" maintenance work and "movement" maintenance work. If the maintenance member in question is capable of performing the "maintenance" maintenance work but is incapable of performing the "movement" maintenance work, the following will occur. That is, neither the "maintenance" maintenance work nor the "movement" maintenance work occurring on the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A in question will be displayed on the display unit 310.
[0203] The display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 in different modes the maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle and the maintenance work that the maintenance member cannot handle. As described above, the available work information indicating the maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle may be stored in advance in, for example, the storage unit 304 provided in the terminal device 300. The maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle may be grasped based on the available work information related to the maintenance member. Therefore, the display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 in different modes the maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle and the maintenance work that the maintenance member cannot handle. For example, the maintenance work that the maintenance member cannot handle may be displayed in gray.
[0204] 21 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen. If the maintenance member is unable to perform the "movement" maintenance work, the "movement" maintenance work may be displayed, for example, grayed out, as shown in FIG.
[0205] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with the contract information supply unit 320. When a contract operation input is accepted by the accepting unit 315, the contract information supply unit 320 supplies, to the management device 400, contract information indicating that a contract operation input for the maintenance work has been performed by a maintenance member.
[0206] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a processing unit 423. The processing unit 423 may establish the entrustment of the maintenance work to the maintenance member based on the entrustment information. When a single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires multiple maintenance works, the processing unit 423 may perform the following process. That is, when all of the multiple maintenance works required for a single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A have been entrusted to one or more maintenance members, the processing unit 423 may establish the entrustment of these maintenance works to the maintenance members.
[0207] FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment.
[0208] In step S121, the selection unit 420 in the management device 400 selects a delivery destination of the required-maintenance information from among a plurality of maintenance members registered in advance. Then, the process proceeds to step S122.
[0209] In step S122, the required-maintenance information distribution unit 414 included in the management device 400 distributes the required-maintenance information to the terminal device 300 possessed by the maintenance member selected by the selection unit 420. After that, the process proceeds to step S123.
[0210] In step S123, the display control unit 330 provided in the terminal device 300 displays information indicating the maintenance work on the basis of the maintenance requirement information on the display unit 310. After that, the process proceeds to step S124.
[0211] In step S124, the reception unit 315 included in the terminal device 300 receives an accepted operation input, which is an input of an accepted operation by a maintenance member for the maintenance work displayed on the display unit 310. After that, the process proceeds to step S125.
[0212] In step S125, the acceptance information supplying unit 320 included in the terminal device 300 supplies acceptance information indicating that an acceptance operation input for the maintenance work has been performed by a maintenance member to the management device 400. After that, the process proceeds to step S126.
[0213] In step S126, the processing unit 423 in the management device 400 establishes the entrustment to the maintenance member based on the entrustment information, thus completing the process shown in FIG.
[0214] Fig. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment. Fig. 23 shows an example in which one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires a plurality of maintenance operations.
[0215] In step S131, the display control unit 330 included in the terminal device 300 displays information indicating the maintenance work on the display unit 310. After that, the process proceeds to step S132.
[0216] In step S132, one of the multiple maintenance works required for one of the maintenance-requiring mobile objects 100A is selected by a maintenance member. After that, the process proceeds to step S133.
[0217] In step S133, the display control unit 330 highlights the maintenance work selected by the maintenance member.
[0218] In step S134, the display control unit 330 causes the maintenance work that has not been selected by the maintenance member to be displayed in a blinking manner, thus completing the process shown in FIG.
[0219] FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment.
[0220] In step S141, the control unit 314 included in the terminal device 300 extracts maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle from the maintenance requirement information distributed from the management device 400. After that, the process proceeds to step S142.
[0221] In step S142, the display control unit 330 displays information indicating the maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle on the display unit 310. In this manner, the process shown in FIG.
[0222] Fig. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment. Fig. 25 shows an example in which a single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires a plurality of maintenance works.
[0223] In step S151, the control unit 314 provided in the terminal device 300 determines whether the maintenance member can handle all of the multiple maintenance tasks required by one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. If the maintenance member can handle all of the multiple maintenance tasks required by one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A (YES in step S151), the process proceeds to step S152. If the maintenance member cannot handle all of the multiple maintenance tasks required by one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A (NO in step S151), the process proceeds to step S153.
[0224] In step S152, the display control unit 330 included in the terminal device 300 displays all of the maintenance works required for the one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. In this way, the process shown in FIG.
[0225] In step S153, the display control unit 330 included in the terminal device 300 does not display all of the maintenance works required for the one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. In this way, the process shown in FIG.
[0226] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with the image acquisition unit 322. The image acquisition unit 322 may acquire the image acquired by the imaging unit 306. The image acquired by the image acquisition unit 322 may be provided to the management device 400.
[0227] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a moving object determination unit 417. The moving object determination unit 417 may determine whether or not the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A is included in the image. The moving object determination unit 417 may determine whether or not the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A is included in the image based on, for example, information about the current position of the terminal device 300, an image acquired by the image acquisition unit 322 provided in the terminal device 300, and information about the position of the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A.
[0228] The mobile object determination unit 417 can determine whether or not the maintenance member is located near the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A, based on information about the current location of the terminal device 300 and information about the location of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. The information about the location of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A can include, for example, the management number of the port lock mechanism 38 that locks the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A.
[0229] The moving object determination unit 417 may determine whether or not the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A is included in an image acquired by the image acquisition unit 322 provided in the terminal device 300, based on a management number or the like shown in the image. When the moving object determination unit 417 determines that the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A is included in the image, the control unit 408 provided in the management device 400 provides information regarding the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A to the terminal device 300. More specifically, the control unit 408 may supply information indicating the position of the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A in the image to the terminal device 300.
[0230] The QR code (registered trademark) provided on the information presentation unit 110 provided on the moving body 100 may be read by the terminal device 300 to determine which of the multiple moving bodies 100 included in the image is the maintenance-requiring moving body 100A. That is, the QR code (registered trademark) provided on the moving body 100 is imaged by the imaging unit 306 provided on the terminal device 300. The control unit 314 provided on the terminal device 300 obtains information on the moving body 100 by analyzing the information presented by the QR code (registered trademark). The control unit 314 provides the information on the moving body 100 to the management device 400. The control unit 408 provided on the management device 400 may determine whether the moving body 100 is the maintenance-requiring moving body 100A or not based on the information provided from the terminal device 300 and the information stored in the moving body information storage unit 428.
[0231] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with a display control unit 330. The display control unit 330 may display an image acquired by the imaging unit 306 on the display unit 310. FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen. FIG. 26 shows an example in which a plurality of moving objects 100 are displayed on the display screen 344. When the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A is included in the image, the display control unit 330 may superimpose a figure 342 corresponding to the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A on the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A. In other words, the display control unit 330 superimposes a figure 342 indicating that the moving object 100 corresponds to the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A on the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A. As described above, the management device 400 may supply information indicating the position of the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A in the image to the terminal device 300. Therefore, the control unit 314 provided in the terminal device 300 can grasp the position of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A in the image. The display control unit 330 can superimpose a figure 342 indicating that the mobile object 100 corresponds to the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A on the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. The figure 342 corresponding to the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A can be, for example, an arrow, but is not limited to this. The figure 342 may be, for example, a circle, an ellipse, or the like surrounding the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. The figure 342 may also be a figure corresponding to the outer shape of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A.
[0232] The management device 400 may provide the terminal device 300 with information indicating a maintenance target part, which is a part of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A that is to be subjected to maintenance, for example.

For example, when an appropriate work state can be realized by changing the position and posture of the maintenance member, the display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 figures, text information, etc. for prompting a change in the position and posture of the maintenance member. When an appropriate work state can be realized by changing the position and posture of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A, the display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 figures, text information, etc. for prompting a change in the position and posture of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A.
[0237] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with the voice information providing unit 324. The voice information providing unit 324 may provide voice information for prompting a change in the work state. For example, if an appropriate work state can be achieved by changing the position and posture of the maintenance member, the voice information providing unit 324 may provide voice information for prompting a change in the position and posture of the maintenance member. If an appropriate work state can be achieved by changing the position and posture of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A, the voice information providing unit 324 may provide voice information for prompting a change in the position and posture of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A.
[0238] The display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 information indicating a storage location of a tool used during maintenance work on the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. The display control unit 330 may superimpose a graphic, text information, or the like indicating a storage location of a tool used during maintenance work on the storage location. The audio information providing unit 324 may provide audio information indicating a storage location of a tool used during maintenance work. As described above, the work information storage unit 433 stores information indicating a storage location of a tool used during maintenance work. The control unit 408 provided in the management device 400 may determine whether or not the storage location is included in the image based on, for example, information regarding the current location of the terminal device 300, an image acquired by the image acquisition unit 322 provided in the terminal device 300, and information indicating a storage location of a tool used during maintenance work. When it is determined that the storage location is included in the image, the control unit 408 provides information indicating the storage location to the terminal device 300. The display control unit 330 provided in the terminal device 300 can display, on the display unit 310, information indicating the storage location of tools used during maintenance work, based on the information supplied from the management device 400.
[0239] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a position / posture suitability determination unit 425. The position / posture suitability determination unit 425 may determine the suitability of the position / posture, etc., during the maintenance work. The position / posture suitability determination unit 425 may determine the suitability of the position / posture during the maintenance work based on appropriate position / posture information, which is information indicating an appropriate position / posture according to the maintenance work, and an image acquired by the imaging unit 306. Note that the appropriate position / posture information is stored in the work information storage unit 433, as described above.
[0240] When the position and posture suitability determination unit 425 determines that the position and posture are inappropriate, the control unit 408 included in the management device 400 may supply information for prompting the change of the position and posture to the terminal device 300. The display control unit 330 included in the terminal device 300 may display information for prompting the change of the position and posture on the display unit 310 based on the information supplied from the management device 400. The display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 a figure, text information, etc. for prompting the change of the position and posture. For example, when the position and posture of the maintenance member is inappropriate, the display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 a figure, text information, etc. for prompting the change of the position and posture of the maintenance member. When the position and posture of the maintenance-requiring mobile body 100A is inappropriate, the display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 a figure, text information, etc. for prompting the change of the position and posture of the maintenance-requiring mobile body 100A. When the position and posture of the part is inappropriate, the display control unit 330 may display on the display unit 310 a figure, text information, etc. for prompting the change of the position and posture of the part. The audio information providing unit 324 can provide audio information to prompt these changes in position and attitude.

[0264] FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of the layout of service bases.
[0265] As described above, the management device 400 may include a setting unit 440. The setting unit 440 may set a management area 350. The management area 350 is an area where management is performed to provide maintenance for the mobile body 100. The setting unit 440 may set a plurality of management areas 350, but here, one of the plurality of management areas 350 will be described as an example. The setting unit 440 may set the management area 350 based on map information. The map information may be stored in advance in the map information storage unit 438. A part of an area (not shown) indicated by the map information may be set as the management area 350.
[0266] As described above, the management device 400 may include the determination unit 442. The determination unit 442 may determine the positions of the service bases 352. The service bases 352 are bases that provide maintenance work for the mobile body 100. The determination unit 442 may determine the positions of the service bases 352 so that the service bases 352 are arranged approximately evenly within the management area 350. That is, the determination unit 442 may determine the positions of the service bases 352 so that the distances between the service bases 352 are approximately equal to each other. In other words, the determination unit 442 may determine the positions of the service bases 352 so that the maximum value of the access time to the nearest service base 352 is equal to or less than a predetermined maximum access time. For example, if the predetermined maximum access time is, for example, 10 minutes, the determination unit 442 determines the positions of the service bases 352 so that the access time of the user to the nearest service base 352 is equal to or less than 10 minutes regardless of where the user is located within the management area 350. The access time may be calculated based on map information, but is not limited to this. The information on the access time may be linked to the map information.
[0267] The determination unit 442 may determine the number of service bases 352 in the management area 350 based on the maintenance demand in the management area 350. Information on the maintenance demand may be stored in advance in the storage unit 404. Information on the maintenance demand may be linked to map information in advance. When the maintenance demand in the management area 350 is relatively large, the determination unit 442 may set the number of service bases 352 in the management area 350 to be relatively small. When the maintenance demand in the management area 350 is medium, the determination unit 442 may set the number of service bases 352 in the management area 350 to be medium. When the maintenance demand in the management area 350 is relatively small, the determination unit 442 may set the number of service bases 352 in the management area 350 to be relatively small.
[0268] FIG. 35 is a diagram showing an example of the layout of service bases.
[0269] The determination unit 442 may determine the location of each service base 352 based on the services that the service base 352 can handle. For example, the determination unit 442 may appropriately arrange the advanced service base 352A and the non-advanced service base 352B. The advanced service base 352A is a service base that can handle various services. The non-advanced service base 352B is a service base that can handle only some services. As described above, the maintenance member information storage unit 432 provided in the management device 400 stores maintenance member information. The maintenance member information may include available work information, which is information on maintenance work that the maintenance members can handle. The available work of the service base 352 may be grasped based on the maintenance member information on the maintenance members belonging to the service base 352.
[0270] The determination unit 442 may determine the position of the service base 352 so that the non-high-altitude service bases 352B are not adjacent to each other. That is, the determination unit 442 may place the advanced service base 352A between one non-high-altitude service base 352B and another non-high-altitude service base 352B. Since the non-high-altitude service bases 352B may be prevented from being adjacent to each other, this may contribute to shortening the access time to the advanced service base 352A.
[0271] FIG. 36 is a diagram showing an example of the layout of service bases.
[0272] The determination unit 442 may determine the location of each service base based on the operation time of the service base. For example, the determination unit 442 may appropriately locate the long-term service base 352C and the short-term service base 352D. The long-term service base 352C is a service base with a relatively long operation time. The short-term service base 352D is a service base with a relatively short operation time. As described above, the maintenance member information storage unit 432 provided in the management device 400 stores the maintenance member information. The maintenance member information may include information regarding the operation time of the maintenance member. The operation time of the service base 352 may be ascertained based on the maintenance member information regarding the maintenance members belonging to the service base 352.
[0273] The determination unit 442 may determine the position of the service base 352 so that the short-term service bases 352D are not adjacent to each other. That is, the determination unit 442 may place the long-term service base 352C between one short-term service base 352D and another short-term service base 352D. This contributes to improving convenience because it is possible to prevent the short-term service bases 352D from being adjacent to each other.
[0274] FIG. 37 is a diagram showing an example of the layout of service bases.
[0275] The determination unit 442 may determine the position of the service base 352 so that the service base 352 is at least located in the low-altitude location 350L, which is a location in the management area 350 where the altitude is relatively low. The map information may include information on the altitude of each location. The determination unit 442 may grasp the low-altitude location 350L in the management area 350 based on the map information. The determination unit 442 places the service base 352 at least in the low-altitude location 350L. People tend to gather in locations with relatively low altitudes. For this reason, the demand for maintenance is relatively high in locations with relatively low altitudes. In addition, it is not easy for a user to move a mobile object 100 with a malfunction from a location with a relatively low altitude to a location with a relatively high altitude on foot. On the other hand, it is relatively easy to move a mobile object 100 with a malfunction from a location with a relatively high altitude to a location with a relatively low altitude. For this reason, at least the service base 352 may be located at a low elevation location 350L within the managed area 350.
[0276] As described above, the management device 400 may include a correction unit 444. There may be a bias in the operation of the service bases 352. That is, there may be a bias in the number of visitors at each service base 352. In the service bases 352 with a relatively large number of visitors, the time until the maintenance is completed tends to be relatively long. On the other hand, in the service bases 352 with a relatively small number of visitors, the time until the maintenance is completed tends to be relatively short. If the bias in the operation, that is, the bias in the number of visitors, is corrected, the time until the maintenance is completed can be equalized as a whole. Therefore, in this embodiment, the correction unit 444 delivers information for sending customers to the mobile terminal 200 when a bias occurs in the operation of the service bases 352. The display control unit 226 included in the mobile terminal 200 may display the information for sending customers on the display unit 210 included in the mobile terminal 200.
[0277] The information for sending customers may be, for example, information for encouraging the user to use service bases 352 with a relatively small number of visitors. The correction unit 444 may extract service bases 352 with a relatively small number of visitors from among a plurality of service bases 352 located within a predetermined distance from the location of the mobile terminal 200 carried by the user. The correction unit 444 may deliver information indicating the service bases 352 thus extracted to the mobile terminal 200.
[0278] The information for directing customers may be information indicating the number of visitors at each service base 352. The correction unit 444 may distribute the information indicating the number of visitors at each service base 352 to the mobile terminal 200. The display control unit 226 included in the mobile terminal 200 may display the information indicating the number of visitors at each service base 352 on the display unit 210 included in the mobile terminal 200. The user may know which service bases 352 have a relatively small number of visitors based on the information. The use of service bases 352 with a relatively small number of visitors may be encouraged by the information.

[0288] In step S242, the determining unit 442 included in the management device 400 determines, based on the map information, the low altitude location 350L in the management area 350. After that, the process proceeds to step S243.
[0289] In step S243, the determination unit 442 determines the position of the service base 352 so that the service base 352 is located at least in the low altitude location 350L. In this manner, the process shown in FIG.
[0290] FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment.
[0291] In step S251, correction unit 444 included in management device 400 determines whether or not a bias equal to or greater than a predetermined bias threshold occurs between service bases 352. If a bias equal to or greater than the predetermined bias threshold occurs between service bases 352 (YES in step S251), the process proceeds to step S252. If a bias equal to or greater than the predetermined bias threshold does not occur between service bases 352 (NO in step S251), the process shown in FIG. 41 is completed.
[0292] In step S252, the correction unit 444 delivers information for sending customers to the mobile terminal 200. In this way, the process shown in FIG.

The work standard generating unit 450 may adopt, as a work standard, a maintenance work whose evaluation indicated by the work evaluation information is equal to or higher than the evaluation standard. For example, a maintenance work that can achieve relatively high durability despite being relatively low in cost has a relatively high work evaluation. On the other hand, a maintenance work that can achieve relatively low durability despite being relatively high in cost has a relatively low work evaluation. A maintenance work that can achieve relatively high durability despite being relatively low in cost may be adopted as a work standard. A maintenance work that can achieve relatively low durability despite being relatively high in cost is not adopted as a work standard.
[0344] The work standard generating unit 450 may generate work standards according to the region. For example, for a mobile body 100 used in an area prone to salt damage, the work standard may be to select parts that have been sufficiently treated for rust prevention. Whether or not the mobile body 100 has been used in an area prone to salt damage may be understood, for example, based on the usage history of the mobile body 100. For example, for a mobile body 100 used in an area with many slopes, the work standard may be to select brake pads with sufficiently high durability. Whether or not the mobile body 100 has been used in an area with many slopes may be understood, for example, based on the usage history of the mobile body 100.

For example, the member evaluation unit 422 may determine the level of the member evaluation according to the level of the evaluation in the work evaluation information, but is not limited to this.
[0346] As described above, the management device 400 may include a reward determination unit 451. The reward determination unit 451 may determine a reward for a maintenance member based on the member evaluation information generated by the member evaluation unit 422. The reward determination unit 451 may determine the level of reward according to, for example, the level of evaluation in the member evaluation information, but is not limited to this.
[0347] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a work standard information providing unit 452. The work standard information providing unit 452 may provide information related to the work standard. More specifically, the work standard information providing unit 452 may provide the information related to the work standard to a person who is not a maintenance member, for example, for a fee.
[0348] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a fee determination unit 454. The fee determination unit 454 may determine the fee for the information provided by the work standard information providing unit 452 in accordance with the amount of data of the information provided by the work standard information providing unit 452. When the amount of data of the information is relatively large, the fee for the provision of the information may be set relatively high. In addition, the fee determination unit 454 may determine the fee for the information provided by the work standard information providing unit 452 in accordance with the amount of data required to generate the information provided by the work standard information providing unit 452. When the amount of data required to generate the information is relatively large, the fee for the provision of the information may be set relatively high.
