The mobile-to-mobile communication unit 111 can perform mobile-to-mobile communication with other mobile bodies 100 located within the communication range of the mobile-to-mobile communication unit 111. The communication range of the mobile-to-mobile communication unit 111 is, for example, a range with a radius of about 300 meters centered on the mobile-to-mobile communication unit 111, but is not limited to this. The mobile-to-mobile communication unit 111 can only communicate with other mobile bodies 100 located within the communication range. The mobile-to-mobile communication unit 111 cannot communicate with other mobile bodies 100 located outside the communication range. Therefore, by using such mobile-to-mobile communication, communication can be selectively performed only with mobile bodies 100 located within the communication range of the mobile-to-mobile 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 can transfer a usage reservation to another mobile body 100 that is available, that is, an available mobile body 100B. The transfer of a usage reservation can 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 a usage reservation has been made for the other mobile body 100. If a usage reservation has been made for the other mobile body 100, the reservation transfer unit 122 further inquires of the other mobile body 100. If the inquired other mobile body 100 has not yet been reserved for usage, the reservation can be transferred to the other mobile body 100. That is, if the inquired other mobile body 100 is an available mobile body 100B, the reservation transfer unit 122 transfers the usage reservation to the available mobile body 100B. In this way, according to this embodiment, the use reservation can be transferred to the available mobile object 100B located within the communication range of the inter-mobile object communication unit 111.
[0098] As described above, when a usage reservation is accepted by the management device 400, the management device 400 provides registration identification information, etc. to the mobile body 100 for which the usage reservation has been made. In contrast, when a 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 processing. 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 memory 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 mobile-to-mobile 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. After that, the process proceeds to step S22.
[0101] In step S22, the inter-mobile unit communication unit 111 provided in the mobile unit 100 communicates with another mobile unit 100. That is, the inter-mobile unit communication unit 111 provided in the maintenance-requiring mobile unit 100A communicates with another mobile unit 100. If an available mobile unit 100B is present within the communication range of the inter-mobile unit communication unit 111 (YES in step S23), the process proceeds to step S24. If an available mobile unit 100B is not present within the communication range of the inter-mobile unit 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 processing shown in FIG.
[0103] The inter-mobile body communication using the inter-mobile body communication unit 111 may be used as follows. That is, one mobile body 100 supplies information about the 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. Using such a method is useful in cases where the one mobile body 100 cannot communicate using the communication unit 112, for example.
[0104] The provision of the maintenance-requiring mobile object information may be performed by a user of sharing system 12, or by a person other than a user of 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 and the like according to this embodiment 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. The information for establishing communication between mobile communication terminal 200A and management device 400 may be provided by, for example, information presentation unit 110 provided in mobile object 100, but is not limited to this.
[0115] As described above, information presenter 110 may be provided with, 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 related to 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 input in this manner is provided from mobile communication terminal 200A to management device 400. In this way, according to the present embodiment, maintenance-requiring mobile object information can be quickly provided to management device 400 even if application software for using sharing system 12 is not installed on mobile communication terminal 200A.
[0117] FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment.

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 the maintenance work performed by the maintenance member.
[0160] The work evaluation information may include, for example, information regarding the evaluation of 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 a relatively high evaluation for the maintenance member. The work quality may also be determined from a long-term perspective. That is, the work quality for a maintenance work may be determined based on the period until a maintenance work with the same content as the maintenance work performed on a certain mobile object 100 is required again. Furthermore, for example, the work quality for a maintenance work may be determined based on the traveling distance of the certain mobile object 100 until a maintenance work with the same content as the maintenance work performed on the certain mobile object 100 is required again.
[0161] The work evaluation information may include information regarding an 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 a relatively high evaluation for the maintenance member.
[0162] The work evaluation information may include information regarding the evaluation of the maintenance member's response speed. If the maintenance member's response speed is high, the member evaluation unit 422 may set a relatively high evaluation for the maintenance member.
[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 maintenance work are appropriate, the member evaluation unit 422 may assign a relatively high evaluation to the maintenance member. As described above, for example, for a mobile body 100 used in an area prone to salt damage, it is preferable to select parts that have been sufficiently treated with rust prevention. Also, as described above, for a mobile body 100 used in an area with many slopes, it is preferable to select brake pads with sufficient durability.
[0164] The member evaluation unit 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 can be generated based on at least one of the maintenance history and the usage history of the mobile body 100. For example, the period until a mobile body 100 again requires maintenance work of the same content as a maintenance work performed on the mobile body 100 can be determined based on the maintenance history of the mobile body 100. Furthermore, for example, the traveling distance of the mobile body 100 until the mobile body 100 again requires maintenance work of the same content as a maintenance work performed on the mobile body 100 can be determined 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 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 multiple types of maintenance work. The input of 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 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 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 can be stored in the maintenance member information storage unit 432. As described above, the remuneration information can be set for each of multiple types of maintenance work that the maintenance member can provide.
[0169] The selection unit 420 may select a maintenance member based on the 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 will receive 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 receiving unit 216 provided in the mobile terminal 200 receives input of maintenance-requiring mobile object information, which is information related to the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. After that, the process proceeds to step S102.
[0172] In step S102, the maintenance-requiring mobile object information providing unit 220 provided 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 provided in the management device 400 selects a delivery destination for the maintenance requirement information. After that, the process proceeds to step S104.
[0174] In step S104, the management device 400 distributes the maintenance-required information to the distribution destinations selected by the selection unit 420. In this way, the processing 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 a maintenance history storage unit 434 or the like provided in the management device 400. The management device 400 may store the location of the rental port 22 where the mobile object 100, for which maintenance work has been completed, was located as the location 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 work completion information. After that, the process proceeds to step S112.
[0178] In step S112, the control unit 314 provided 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 provided 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 object 100 for which maintenance work has been completed was located as the position of the maintenance member. In this way, the processing shown in FIG. 16 is completed.
[0181] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a selection unit 420. As described above, the selection unit 420 selects a recipient of the maintenance-required information from among a plurality of pre-registered maintenance members based on the location of the maintenance-required mobile object 100A and the locations of the maintenance members. 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 recipient of the maintenance-required information. The location of the maintenance member may be, for example, pre-registered in the maintenance member information storage unit 432, but is not limited to this. When information indicating the current location of a terminal device 300 carried by a maintenance member is supplied from the terminal device 300 to the management device 400, the location of the maintenance member may be determined based on the current location.
[0182] The selection unit 420 may select the recipient of the maintenance requirement information based further 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 perform.
[0183] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with the maintenance-required information distribution unit 414. As described above, the maintenance-required information distribution unit 414 may distribute the maintenance-required information to the terminal devices 300 owned by the maintenance members selected by the selection unit 420.
[0184] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with the display control unit 330. The display control unit 330 may display information indicating maintenance work on the display unit 310 based on the maintenance requirement 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 graphics (symbols, marks) 338G, 338B, 338P, 338V, and 338Y corresponding to the maintenance work on the display unit 310. The display control unit 330 may display graphics 338G, 338B, 338P, 338V, and 338Y in a manner corresponding to the type of maintenance work on the display unit 310. When describing the graphics without distinguishing between them, reference numeral 338 is used, and when describing the individual graphics separately, reference numerals 338G, 338B, 338P, 338V, and 338Y are used. The display control unit 330 may display graphics 338 in colors corresponding to the type of maintenance work on the display unit 310. For example, a first color may be applied to a graphic 338 indicating a first type of maintenance work among the multiple maintenance works. A second color may be applied to a graphic 338 indicating a second type of maintenance work among the multiple maintenance works. A third color may be applied to a graphic 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 together with the graphic 338.
[0189] If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "inspection," the maintenance work may be represented by, for example, a green graphic 338G. If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "charging," the maintenance work may be represented by, for example, a blue graphic 338B. If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "maintenance," the maintenance work may be represented by, for example, a pink graphic 338P. If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "moving," the maintenance work may be represented by, for example, a purple graphic 338V. If the type of maintenance work is, for example, "cleaning," the maintenance work may be represented by, for example, a yellow graphic 338Y.
[0190] The appearance corresponding to the type of maintenance work is not limited to color. For example, the appearance corresponding to the type of maintenance work may be a shape. That is, a graphic 338 having a shape corresponding 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 that corresponds 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 that corresponds 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 that is relatively small. For example, if the amount of work required for the maintenance work is medium, the maintenance work may be represented by a graphic 338 that is medium in 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 that is relatively large.
[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, if the distance between the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A and the maintenance member is relatively short, the maintenance work may be indicated by a graphic 338 of a relatively large size. For example, if 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, if the distance between the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A and the maintenance member is relatively long, 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 a reception unit 315. The reception unit 315 receives an acceptance operation input, which is an operation input by the maintenance member to accept the maintenance work displayed on the display unit 310. In other words, the reception unit 315 receives an acceptance operation input, which is an operation input by the maintenance member to accept 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 graphic 338 displayed on the display unit 310. When the maintenance member taps on the graphic 338 displayed on the display unit 310, the maintenance member may accept the maintenance work indicated by the graphic 338.
[0194] A single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A may require multiple maintenance tasks. When a single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires multiple maintenance tasks, the display control unit 330 may display the tasks as follows. That is, in such a case, the display control unit 330 may display the accepted maintenance tasks and the unaccepted maintenance tasks among the multiple maintenance tasks on the display unit 310 in different ways. For example, the maintenance tasks selected by the maintenance member may be highlighted, and the maintenance tasks not selected by the maintenance member may be displayed in a flashing manner. Highlighting of the maintenance tasks may be performed, for example, by increasing the color density of the graphic 338, but is not limited to this.
[0195] For example, if the maintenance member is available for "maintenance" but not for "movement," the maintenance member can accept the "maintenance" but cannot accept the "movement." When the maintenance member selects, for example, graphic 338P indicating "maintenance," graphic 338P may be highlighted, and graphic 338V indicating "movement" may be displayed flashing. Highlighting may be performed, for example, by increasing the color density of 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, graphic 338P indicating "maintenance" selected by the maintenance member is highlighted. Graphic 338V indicating "movement" not selected by the maintenance member is displayed in a blinking state.
[0197] When a maintenance member selects the symbol 338P indicating the maintenance work of "maintenance" and another maintenance member selects the symbol 338V indicating the maintenance work of "movement," the commissioning of these maintenance works can be established. In other words, multiple maintenance members can jointly undertake multiple maintenance works.
[0198] If a predetermined time has passed since the maintenance member selected the "maintenance" maintenance task, but the "movement" maintenance task has not been selected by another maintenance member, the following will occur: In other words, in such a case, the "maintenance" maintenance task selected by the maintenance member may be canceled.
[0199] When displaying information 336 indicating maintenance work on the display unit 310, the display control unit 330 can selectively display information indicating maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle on the display unit 310. Available work information indicating maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle can 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 can be identified based on the available work information related to the maintenance member. Therefore, even if the maintenance required information supplied from the management device 400 includes maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle and maintenance work that the maintenance member cannot handle, the following occurs. That is, even in such a case, the display control unit 330 can display only the maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle on the display unit 310.
[0200] 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 multiple maintenance tasks, the display control unit 330 may do the following. That is, in such a case, the display control unit 330 may display the maintenance tasks required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A only if the maintenance member is capable of performing all of the maintenance tasks required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. That is, if the maintenance member is unable to perform any of the maintenance tasks required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A, the display control unit 330 does not display all of the maintenance tasks required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. As described above, available task information indicating the maintenance tasks that the maintenance member can perform may be stored in advance in, for example, the storage unit 304 provided in the terminal device 300. Whether the maintenance member is capable of performing all of the maintenance tasks required by the single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A can be determined based on the available task information related to the maintenance member. Therefore, the display control unit 330 can display on the display unit 310 the maintenance work required for one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A when all of the plurality of maintenance works required for one 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 a certain maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires both "maintenance" maintenance work and "movement" maintenance work. If the maintenance member in question is capable of performing "maintenance" maintenance work but is unable to perform "movement" maintenance work, the following will occur. In other words, 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 ways the maintenance work that the maintenance member can handle and the maintenance work that the maintenance member cannot handle. As described above, 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 determined 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 ways 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 grayed out.
[0204] 21 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen. If the maintenance member in question is unable to handle 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 the contract operation input is received by the receiving unit 315, the contract information supply unit 320 supplies the management device 400 with contract information indicating that the 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 finalize the entrustment of the maintenance work to a maintenance member based on the acceptance information. When a single maintenance-requiring mobile body 100A requires multiple maintenance works, the processing unit 423 may perform the following processing. That is, when all of the multiple maintenance works required for a single maintenance-requiring mobile body 100A have been accepted by one or more maintenance members, the processing unit 423 may finalize 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 provided in the management device 400 selects a delivery destination of the maintenance-required information from among a plurality of maintenance members registered in advance. Then, the process proceeds to step S122.
[0209] In step S122, the maintenance-required information distribution unit 414 provided in the management device 400 distributes the maintenance-required information to the terminal devices 300 owned by the maintenance members selected by the selection unit 420. After that, the process proceeds to step S123.

[0215] In step S131, the display control unit 330 provided 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 maintenance works required for one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A is selected by the maintenance member, and then 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 blinks the maintenance work that has not been selected by the maintenance member, 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 provided 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 perform on the display unit 310. In this way, the processing shown in FIG.
[0222] 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management system according to this embodiment. An example in which a single maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A requires a plurality of maintenance works is shown in FIG.
[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 for one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. If the maintenance member can handle all of the multiple maintenance tasks required for 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 for 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 provided in the terminal device 300 displays all of the maintenance works required for the one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A, thus completing the processing shown in FIG.
[0225] In step S153, the display control unit 330 provided in the terminal device 300 does not display all of the maintenance works required for the one maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A, thus completing the processing 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 location of the terminal device 300, an image acquired by the image acquisition unit 322 provided in the terminal device 300, and information about the location of the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A.
[0228] The mobile object determination unit 417 can determine whether 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. 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 can 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 the management number or the like shown in the image. If 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 about the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A to the terminal device 300. More specifically, the control unit 408 can 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 mobile object 100 may be read by the terminal device 300, thereby determining which of the multiple mobile objects 100 included in the image is the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. That is, the QR code (registered trademark) provided on the mobile object 100 is imaged by the imaging unit 306 provided on the terminal device 300. The control unit 314 provided on the terminal device 300 analyzes the information presented by the QR code (registered trademark) to obtain information about the mobile object 100. The control unit 314 provides the information about the mobile object 100 to the management device 400. The control unit 408 provided on the management device 400 may determine whether the mobile object 100 is the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A based on the information provided from the terminal device 300 and the information stored in the mobile object 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 illustrating an example of a display screen. FIG. 26 illustrates an example in which multiple moving objects 100 are displayed on the display screen 344. When a maintenance-requiring moving object 100A is included in the image, the display control unit 330 may superimpose a graphic 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 graphic 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 provide the terminal device 300 with information indicating the position of the maintenance-requiring moving object 100A in the image. 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 graphic 342 indicating that the mobile object 100 corresponds to the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A on the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. The graphic 342 corresponding to the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A can be, for example, an arrow, but is not limited to this. The graphic 342 may be, for example, a circle, oval, or the like surrounding the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. Furthermore, the graphic 342 may be a graphic corresponding to the outer shape of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A.
[0232] The management device 400 may provide the terminal device 300 with, for example, information indicating a maintenance target portion, which is a portion of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A that is the target of maintenance. FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen. FIG. 27 illustrates an example in which information indicating the maintenance target portion is displayed on a display screen 344.

[0235] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a work state suitability determination unit 424. The work state suitability determination unit 424 may determine the suitability of the work state during maintenance work based on an image supplied from the terminal device 300. For example, if the image supplied from the terminal device 300 is a backlit image, the maintenance member will perform the maintenance work in a dazzling condition. Maintenance work in a dazzling condition is inappropriate. The control unit 408 provided in the management device 400 may supply information indicating the result of the determination made by the work state suitability determination unit 424 to the terminal device 300.
[0236] If the work state suitability determination unit 424 determines that the work state is inappropriate, the control unit 408 included in the management device 400 may supply information to the terminal device 300 to prompt the terminal device 300 to change the work state. The display control unit 330 included in the terminal device 300 may display information to prompt the terminal device 300 to change the work state on the display unit 310 based on the information supplied from the management device 400. The display control unit 330 may display graphics, text information, etc., on the display unit 310 to prompt the terminal device 300 to change the work state. For example, if an appropriate work state can be achieved by changing the position and posture of the maintenance member, the display control unit 330 may display graphics, text information, etc., on the display unit 310 to prompt the terminal device 300 to change 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 display control unit 330 may display graphics, text information, etc., on the display unit 310 to prompt the terminal device 300 to change the position and posture of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A.
[0237] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with the audio information providing unit 324. The audio information providing unit 324 may provide audio information to prompt a change in the work state. For example, if an appropriate work state can be achieved by changing the position and posture of a maintenance member, the audio information providing unit 324 may provide audio information to prompt 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 audio information providing unit 324 may provide audio information to prompt 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 the storage location of tools used in maintenance work on the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. The display control unit 330 may superimpose graphics, text information, etc. indicating the storage location of tools used in maintenance work on the storage location. The audio information providing unit 324 may provide audio information indicating the storage location of tools used in maintenance work. As described above, the work information storage unit 433 stores information indicating the storage location of tools used in maintenance work. The control unit 408 included in the management device 400 may determine whether 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 included in the terminal device 300, and information indicating the storage location of tools used in maintenance work. If 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 information supplied from the management device 400.
[0239] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a position and orientation suitability determination unit 425. The position and orientation suitability determination unit 425 may determine the suitability of the position and orientation, etc., during maintenance work. The position and orientation suitability determination unit 425 may determine the suitability of the position and orientation during maintenance work based on appropriate position and orientation information, which is information indicating an appropriate position and orientation for the maintenance work, and an image acquired by the imaging unit 306. Note that the appropriate position and orientation information is stored in the work information storage unit 433, as described above.
[0240] If the position and orientation suitability determination unit 425 determines that the position and orientation is inappropriate, the control unit 408 included in the management device 400 may supply information to the terminal device 300 to prompt the user to change the position and orientation. The display control unit 330 included in the terminal device 300 may display information to prompt the user to change the position and orientation on the display unit 310 based on the information supplied from the management device 400. The display control unit 330 may display graphics, text information, etc., on the display unit 310 to prompt the user to change the position and orientation. For example, if the position and orientation of a maintenance member is inappropriate, the display control unit 330 may display graphics, text information, etc., on the display unit 310 to prompt the user to change the position and orientation of the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. If the position and orientation of a component is inappropriate, the display control unit 330 may display graphics, text information, etc., on the display unit 310 to prompt the user to change the position and orientation of the component. The audio information providing unit 324 can provide audio information to prompt these changes in position and orientation.

[0263] In step S213, the display control unit 330 included in the terminal device 300 displays information for prompting the user to change the position and orientation on the display unit 310. In this way, the processing shown in Fig. 33 is completed.
[0264] FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of the layout of service bases.
[0265] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with 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 multiple management areas 350, but here, an example of one management area 350 among the multiple management areas 350 will be described. 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 be provided with a determination unit 442. The determination unit 442 may determine the locations of the service locations 352. The service locations 352 are locations that provide maintenance work for the mobile objects 100. The determination unit 442 may determine the locations of the service locations 352 so that the service locations 352 are distributed approximately evenly within the management area 350. That is, the determination unit 442 may determine the locations of the service locations 352 so that the distances between the service locations 352 are approximately equal. In other words, the determination unit 442 may determine the locations of the service locations 352 so that the maximum access time to the nearest service location 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 may determine the locations of the service locations 352 so that the access time for the user to the nearest service location 352 is 10 minutes or less, 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. Information relating to access time may be linked to 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 regarding the maintenance demand may be stored in advance in the storage unit 404. Information regarding the maintenance demand may be linked to map information in advance. If the maintenance demand in the management area 350 is relatively high, the determination unit 442 may set the number of service bases 352 in the management area 350 to a relatively small number. If 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 a medium number. If the maintenance demand in the management area 350 is relatively low, the determination unit 442 may set the number of service bases 352 in the management area 350 to a relatively small number.
[0268] FIG. 35 is a diagram showing an example of the layout of service bases.
[0269] The determination unit 442 can 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 can appropriately locate an advanced service base 352A and a non-advanced service base 352B. The advanced service base 352A is a service base that can handle a variety of 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 can include available work information, which is information about maintenance work that the maintenance members can handle. The available work of the service base 352 can be determined based on the maintenance member information about the maintenance members belonging to the service base 352.
[0270] The determination unit 442 can determine the location of the service base 352 so that the non-altitude service bases 352B are not adjacent to each other. That is, the determination unit 442 can place the advanced service base 352A between one non-altitude service base 352B and another non-altitude service base 352B. This can prevent the non-altitude service bases 352B from being adjacent to each other, which can 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 operating 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 operating time. The short-term service base 352D is a service base with a relatively short operating time. 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 information regarding the operating time of the maintenance members. The operating time of the service base 352 may be determined based on the maintenance member information regarding the maintenance members belonging to the service base 352.
[0273] The determination unit 442 can determine the positions of the service bases 352 so that the short-term service bases 352D are not adjacent to each other. That is, the determination unit 442 can place the long-term service base 352C between one short-term service base 352D and another short-term service base 352D. This can prevent the short-term service bases 352D from being adjacent to each other, which contributes to improving convenience.
[0274] FIG. 37 is a diagram showing an example of the layout of service bases.
[0275] The determination unit 442 may determine the location of the service base 352 so that the service base 352 is located at least in a low-altitude location 350L, which is a location in the management area 350 that has a relatively low altitude. The map information may include information regarding the altitude of each location. The determination unit 442 may identify 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, maintenance demand is relatively high in locations with relatively low altitudes. Furthermore, it is not easy for a user to walk a mobile object 100 that has a malfunction from a location with a relatively low altitude to a location with a relatively high altitude. On the other hand, it is relatively easy to move a mobile object 100 that has 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 in the low elevation location 350L of the controlled area 350.
[0276] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a correction unit 444. Uneven operation of the service bases 352 may occur. That is, unevenness in the number of visitors may occur at each service base 352. At service bases 352 with a relatively large number of visitors, the time until maintenance is completed tends to be relatively long. On the other hand, at service bases 352 with a relatively small number of visitors, the time until maintenance is completed tends to be relatively short. Correcting the uneven operation, i.e., the uneven number of visitors, can level out the overall time until maintenance is completed. Therefore, in this embodiment, when uneven operation of the service bases 352 occurs, the correction unit 444 delivers information for directing customers to the mobile terminal 200. The display control unit 226 provided in the mobile terminal 200 may display the information for directing customers on the display unit 210 provided in the mobile terminal 200.
[0277] An example of the information for directing customers may be information for encouraging the user to use service bases 352 with a relatively low number of visitors. The correction unit 444 may extract service bases 352 with a relatively low 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 extracted service bases 352 to the mobile terminal 200.
[0278] The information for directing customers may be information indicating the number of customers at each service base 352. The correction unit 444 may distribute the information indicating the number of customers 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 customers at each service base 352 on the display unit 210 included in the mobile terminal 200. The service base 352 with a relatively low number of customers can be identified by the user based on the information. The information can encourage the use of service bases 352 with a relatively low number of customers.

[0287] In step S241, the setting unit 440 provided in the management device 400 sets the management area 350. After that, the process proceeds to step S242.
[0288] In step S242, the determining unit 442 provided in the management device 400 determines, based on the map information, the low elevation 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 way, the processing shown in Fig. 40 is completed.
[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 deviation equal to or greater than a predetermined deviation threshold occurs between service bases 352. If a deviation equal to or greater than the predetermined deviation threshold occurs between service bases 352 (YES in step S251), the process proceeds to step S252. If a deviation equal to or greater than the predetermined deviation 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 correcting unit 444 delivers information for sending customers to the mobile terminal 200. In this way, the processing shown in Fig. 41 is completed.

[0336] As described above, the terminal device 300 may be provided with the maintenance record providing unit 328. The maintenance record providing unit 328 may provide the management device 400 with the maintenance record received by the receiving unit 315.
[0337] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with the acquisition unit 446. The acquisition unit 446 may acquire the maintenance records provided from the terminal device 300. The acquisition unit 446 may store the acquired maintenance records in the maintenance history storage unit 434.
[0338] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with the work evaluation unit 448. The work evaluation unit 448 may generate work evaluation information, which is information indicating an evaluation of the maintenance work, based on a maintenance record, which is a record related to the maintenance work, and the results of the maintenance work.
[0339] The results of the maintenance work can be understood, for example, based on the period until a maintenance work with the same content as the maintenance work performed on a certain mobile body 100 is required again for that certain mobile body 100. The period until a maintenance work with the same content as the maintenance work performed on that certain mobile body 100 is required again can be understood, for example, based on the maintenance history of that certain mobile body 100.
[0340] Furthermore, the results of the maintenance work can be understood, for example, based on the distance traveled by a single mobile body 100 until the single mobile body 100 again requires maintenance work of the same content as the maintenance work performed on that single mobile body 100. The distance traveled by a single mobile body 100 until the single mobile body 100 again requires maintenance work of the same content as the maintenance work performed on that single mobile body 100 can be understood, for example, based on the usage history of the single mobile body 100.
[0341] As described above, the work evaluation unit 448 can generate work evaluation information indicating an evaluation of the maintenance work based on the maintenance record and the results of the maintenance work. As described above, the maintenance record can include information regarding the parts (used parts) attached to the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A during the maintenance work on the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. The maintenance record can also include information regarding the time required to perform the maintenance work on the maintenance-requiring mobile object 100A. In other words, the maintenance record can include information indicating the cost of the maintenance work. Therefore, the work evaluation unit 448 can generate work evaluation information for the maintenance work based on the information indicating the cost of the maintenance work and the results of the maintenance work.
[0342] The work evaluation unit 448 can store the work evaluation information generated by the work evaluation unit 448 in the maintenance member information storage unit 432 or the like.
[0343] As described above, the management device 400 may be equipped with a work standard generation unit 450. The work standard generation unit 450 may adopt, as a work standard, a maintenance task whose evaluation indicated by the work evaluation information is equal to or exceeds the evaluation standard. For example, a maintenance task that is relatively low in cost but has relatively high durability has a relatively high work evaluation. On the other hand, a maintenance task that is relatively high in cost but has relatively low durability has a relatively low work evaluation. A maintenance task that is relatively low in cost but has relatively high durability may be adopted as a work standard. A maintenance task that is relatively high in cost but has relatively low durability 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 with anti-rust treatment. Whether or not the mobile body 100 has been used in an area prone to salt damage may be determined, 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 determined, for example, based on the usage history of the mobile body 100.
[0345] As described above, the management device 400 may be provided with a member evaluation unit 422. The member evaluation unit 422 may generate member evaluation information indicating an evaluation of a maintenance member based on the work evaluation information described above. As described above, the work evaluation information is information indicating an evaluation of a maintenance work. The member evaluation unit 422 may, for example, 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 be provided with a remuneration determination unit 451. The remuneration determination unit 451 may determine the remuneration of the maintenance member based on the member evaluation information generated by the member evaluation unit 422. For example, the remuneration determination unit 451 may determine the level of remuneration according to 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 work standards. More specifically, the work standard information providing unit 452 may provide the information related to the work standards to persons who are not maintenance members, 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. If the amount of data of the information is relatively large, the fee for providing the information may be set relatively high. Furthermore, 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. If the amount of data required to generate the information is relatively large, the fee for providing the information may be set relatively high.
