[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-048447 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the above-described conventional operation monitoring system, the detection threshold of the terminal device and the judgment threshold of the operation monitoring device can be set according to the purpose of monitoring, thereby making it possible to provide a vehicle operation monitoring system capable of performing various operation monitoring.

[0005] However, in the above-mentioned operation monitoring system, monitoring is based on operation information communicated only between the terminal device installed in the vehicle and the operation monitoring device located at the base station, so it is only possible to monitor the operation status of a limited number of vehicles, such as vehicles owned by the company itself.

[0006] In other words, if vehicles owned by other companies could be mutually shared with each other, vehicle status information could be managed for all vehicle owners, including not only the company's own vehicles but also those of other companies. However, the problem with the above-mentioned operation monitoring system is that this is not possible.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of these problems, and aims to provide a vehicle movement management system that enables the movement management of all vehicles, including not only vehicles owned by the company but also vehicles owned by other companies, while ensuring security.

Note that the reference symbols and supplementary explanations in this section indicate the correspondence with the embodiments described later to help understand the present invention, and do not limit the present invention in any way.

[0009] [Application example 1] The invention described in Application Example 1 is as follows: A vehicle movement management system (1) that manages the movement of a vehicle (3) by transmitting and receiving information to and from a server (30) via a communication line (5), a movement information acquisition unit (20) that acquires movement information relating to the movement of the vehicle (3); The movement information acquired by the movement information acquisition unit (20) is used to identify the vehicle (3). a behavior information transmitting unit (11) for transmitting the behavior information together with both identification information to the server (30) via the communication line (5); a user identification information storage unit (41) for storing user identification information of a user who uses the vehicle (3); a disclosure request setting unit (42) that sets disclosure vehicle identification information that identifies the vehicle (3) that is the subject of a disclosure request for the movement information, and a disclosure request time for the movement information of the vehicle (3) identified by the disclosure vehicle identification information; a disclosure request information transmitting unit (43) that transmits the disclosure vehicle identification information and the disclosure request time set by the disclosure request setting unit (42) together with the disclosure user identification information that has requested disclosure to the server (30) via the communication line (5); an information presentation unit (44) that receives information from the server (30) via the communication line (5) and presents the received information; Equipped with The server (30) a server-side receiving unit (31) that receives the disclosed vehicle identification information, the disclosed user identification information, and the disclosure request time transmitted from the disclosure request information transmitting unit (43) via the communication line (5), and receives the vehicle status information of the vehicle (3) transmitted from the status information transmitting unit (11) via the communication line (5); a server-side storage unit (32) that stores the vehicle identification information, the user identification information, and a disclosure permission time that is a time during which disclosure of the vehicle's (3) status information is permitted in response to a disclosure request for the vehicle's (3) status information; If the disclosed vehicle identification information and the disclosed user identification information received by the server-side receiving unit (31) match the vehicle identification information and the user identification information stored in the server-side storage unit (32) and the disclosure request time received by the server-side receiving unit (31) is included in the disclosure permission time, the vehicle status information of the vehicle (3) identified by the vehicle identification information is transmitted to the information presenting unit (44) via the communication line (5). On the other hand, if the disclosed vehicle identification information and the disclosed user identification information received by the server-side receiving unit (31) match the vehicle identification information and the user identification information stored in the server-side storage unit (32), but the disclosure request time received by the server-side receiving unit (31) is not included in the disclosure permission time, partial disclosure non-permission information indicating that there is some information that cannot be disclosed among the movement information of the vehicle (3) identified by the vehicle identification information is transmitted to the information presenting unit (44) via the communication line (5). a disclosure permission determination unit (33) for The vehicle movement management system (1) is characterized by the following:

[0010] In such a vehicle movement management system (1), movement management of the vehicle (3) can be conveniently performed while ensuring information security. That is, the status information regarding the status of the vehicle 3 is transmitted together with the vehicle identification information to the server 30 via the communication line 5. The disclosed vehicle identification information, disclosed user information, and disclosure request time are also transmitted to the server 30 via the communication line 5 and stored in the server-side storage unit 32.

[0011] In the server (30), if the disclosed vehicle identification information and disclosed user identification information match the vehicle identification information and user identification information stored in the server-side storage unit (32) and the disclosure request time is included in the disclosure permission time, the server (30) transmits the status information of the vehicle (3) identified by the vehicle identification information to the information presentation unit (44) via the communication line (5). In this case, the user of the vehicle (3) cannot know all of the vehicle (3)'s movement information, but can only know the movement information if the disclosure permission conditions are met. Therefore, the vehicle movement management system (1) ensures the safety of the disclosure information on the movement status of the vehicle (3).

[0012] On the other hand, as long as the disclosure permission conditions are met, it is possible to obtain the movement information not only of the vehicles (3) used by the company or the like, but also of vehicles (3) other than those used by the company, such as vehicles (3) of other companies, thereby ensuring the safety of the information and making it a very convenient vehicle movement management system (1).

[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments, and various forms may be adopted as long as they fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0024] [First embodiment] (Configuration of vehicle movement management system) The configuration of the vehicle status management system 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the general configuration of the vehicle status management system 1.

[0025] The vehicle movement management system 1 is a system that manages the movement of a vehicle 3 by connecting a vehicle terminal 10, a server 30, and a user terminal 40 via a communication line 5 and sending and receiving various information between them.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle movement management system 1 includes a vehicle terminal 10, a server 30, and a user terminal 40. In this embodiment, the vehicle 3 is a vehicle for transporting cargo such as a truck, a passenger bus, a taxi, or the like, and the vehicle-side terminal 10 is installed in the vehicle 3.

[0027] The vehicle-side terminal 10 includes a vehicle-side transmitting unit 11, a vehicle-side control unit 12, and a motion information acquiring unit 20. The vehicle-side transmitting unit 11 is a transmitter that transmits data to the server 30 via the communication line 5.

[0028] The vehicle-side control unit 12 is a device equipped with a CPU, ROM, RAM, I / O, etc. (not shown), and controls the vehicle-side information acquisition unit 20 and the vehicle-side transmission unit 11. The vehicle-side control unit 12 also temporarily stores the vehicle 3's vehicle status information acquired by the vehicle status information acquisition unit 20 in RAM, and transmits the vehicle status information to the server 30 via the communication line 5 using the vehicle-side transmission unit 11.

[0029] The movement information acquisition unit 20 is attached to the vehicle 3 and stores information relating to the movement of the vehicle 3 (hereinafter also referred to as "movement information"). The movement information includes the current position, speed, mileage, engine RPM, temperature inside the vehicle (temperature inside the cargo hold in the case of cargo), and movement status information of the vehicle 3.

[0030] In addition, the status information includes information such as the type of road on which the vehicle 3 is traveling, whether it has left the depot, the time of departure, whether it is waiting for cargo or passengers, the waiting time, whether it is taking a break, the rest time, and the estimated arrival time.

[0031] The movement information acquisition unit 20 includes a GPS receiver 21, a digital tachograph 22, a temperature sensor 23, and a status input device 24. The current position of the vehicle 3 is acquired by a GPS receiver 21, the speed, mileage and engine speed of the vehicle 3 are acquired by a digital tachograph 22, the temperature inside the vehicle 3 is acquired by a temperature sensor 23, and status information is acquired from a status input device 24.

[0032] It should be noted that the dynamic information acquired by the dynamic information acquisition unit 20 does not need to acquire all of the vehicle 3's current location, speed, mileage, engine RPM, interior temperature, or dynamic status information of the vehicle 3; it is sufficient to select and acquire dynamic information depending on the type of vehicle 3 that is the subject of dynamic management.

[0033] The user terminal 40 is a device placed on the user side who uses the vehicle 3, and is equipped with a user terminal storage unit 41, a disclosure request setting unit 42, a user terminal transmitting unit 43, a user terminal receiving unit 44, and a user terminal control unit 46.

[0034] The user terminal storage unit 41 is a unit for storing user identification information, and is specifically an external storage device such as a hard disk. The user identification information means information for individually identifying multiple users, such as an ID code assigned in advance to a company or the like that uses the vehicle 3.

[0035] The disclosure request setting unit 42 is a part that sets the identification information (disclosure identification information) of the vehicle 3 for which disclosure of movement information is requested and the time (disclosure request time) for disclosing the movement information of the vehicle 3 identified by the disclosure vehicle identification information.

[0036] Specifically, it is composed of input devices such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch panel (not shown), and a display device (not shown) that displays input items and input results. The user terminal transmitting unit 43 is a transmitter that transmits data to the server 30 via the communication line 5, and the user terminal receiving unit 44 is a receiver that receives data from the server 30 via the communication line 5.

[0037] The user terminal control unit 46 is a device equipped with a CPU, ROM, RAM, I / O, etc. (not shown), and transmits the disclosed vehicle identification information and disclosure request time set in the disclosure request setting unit 42, together with disclosure user identification information that identifies the user who requested disclosure, to the server 30 via the communication line 5 using the user terminal transmission unit 43.

[0038] The server 30 includes a server-side receiving unit 31, a server-side storage unit 32, a disclosure permission determining unit 33, and a server-side transmitting unit . The server-side receiving unit 31 is a receiver that receives data from the user-side terminal 40 via the communication line 5 .

[0039] The server-side storage unit 32 is a part that stores vehicle identification information that identifies the vehicle 3, user identification information that identifies the user, and disclosure permission time, which is the time during which disclosure of the vehicle 3's status information is permitted in response to a request for disclosure of the vehicle 3's status information, and is specifically an external storage device such as a hard disk.

[0040] Here, the vehicle identification information means information for individually identifying a plurality of vehicles 3, such as an ID code assigned in advance to each vehicle in order to individually identify the plurality of vehicles 3. In addition, the disclosure permission time means the time during which the user of vehicle 3 may disclose to the provider of vehicle 3 the status information of vehicle 3 that the provider is using or that the provider has provided to a third party other than the provider.

[0041] The server-side transmitting unit 34 is a transmitter that transmits data to the user-side terminal 40 via the communication line 5.

[0042] (Vehicle control processing) Next, a vehicle-side control process executed by the vehicle-side control unit 12 provided in the vehicle-side terminal 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing the flow of the vehicle-side control process. The vehicle-side control process starts when the vehicle-side control unit 12 is powered on and ends when the power is turned off.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 2, in S100, the CPU of the vehicle-side control unit 12 acquires the vehicle 3's movement information from the movement information acquisition unit 20 and stores it in RAM, and then in S105, reads out the identification information of the vehicle 3 stored in a ROM (not shown).

[0044] In the following S110, the vehicle identification information read in S105 is added to the vehicle status information of the vehicle 3 acquired in S100, and the vehicle-side transmitter 11 transmits the information to the server 30 via a communication line. After transmission, the process returns to S100, and the vehicle-side control process is repeated.

[0045] (Disclosure permission determination process) Next, a disclosure permission determination process executed by the disclosure permission determination unit 33 of the server 30 arranged on the provider side of the vehicle 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the disclosure permission determination process. The disclosure permission determination process starts when the server 30 is powered on and ends when the server 30 is powered off.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 3, in S200, the CPU reads out the disclosed user identification information, disclosed vehicle identification information, and permitted disclosure time from the external storage device. In the next S205, the server side receiving unit 31 acquires the disclosed user identification information, disclosed vehicle identification information, disclosure request time, and vehicle 3 status information transmitted from the user side terminal 40 via the communication line 5.

[0047] In the next S210, it is determined whether the user identification information read in S200 matches the disclosed user identification information acquired in S205. If it is determined that they match (S210: Yes), the process proceeds to S215, and if it is determined that they do not match (S210: No), the process proceeds to S230.

[0048] In S215, it is determined whether the vehicle identification information read in S200 matches the disclosed vehicle identification information acquired in S205. If it is determined that they match (S215: Yes), the process proceeds to S220, and if it is determined that they do not match (S215: No), the process proceeds to S230.

[0049] In S220, the requested disclosure time read in S200 is compared with the permitted disclosure time acquired in S205 to determine whether the requested disclosure time is within the permitted disclosure time. If it is determined that the requested disclosure time is within the permitted disclosure time (S220: Yes), the process proceeds to S225, and if it is determined that the requested disclosure time is outside the permitted disclosure time (S220: No), the process proceeds to S230.

[0050] In S225, the server-side transmitter 34 outputs the vehicle 3 status information together with the disclosed vehicle identification information to the user-side terminal 40 via the communication line 5, and then the process returns to S205. In S230, the server-side transmitter 34 outputs information indicating that disclosure of the movement information is not permitted together with the disclosed vehicle identification information to the user-side terminal 40 via the communication line 5, and then the process returns to S205.

[0051] (User terminal control processing) Next, the user terminal control process executed by the user terminal control unit 46 of the user terminal 40 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the user terminal control process. The user terminal control process starts when the user terminal 40 is powered on and ends when the user terminal 40 is powered off.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 4, in S300, the CPU reads out the user identification information from the user terminal storage unit 41, and then in S305, acquires the disclosed vehicle identification information and disclosure request time set in the disclosure request setting unit 42.

[0053] Next, in S310, the user terminal transmitting unit 43 transmits the disclosed vehicle identification information and disclosure request time acquired in S305 to the server 30 via the communication line 5 together with the user identification information (disclosed user identification information) read in S300.

[0054] In the next step S315, data including the user identification information of the user terminal 40, which is transmitted from the server 30 via the communication line 5, is acquired from the user terminal receiving unit 44. In the next S320, it is determined whether the data acquired in S315 is status information of the vehicle 3. If it is determined that the data is status information of the vehicle 3 (S320: Yes), the process proceeds to S325, and if it is determined that the data is not status information (S320: No), the process proceeds to S330.

[0055] In S325, the status information of vehicle 3 acquired in S315 is displayed on the display device as "status information of vehicle for which disclosure has been requested", and then the process returns to S305. In S330, it is determined whether the data acquired in S315 is information indicating that disclosure of activity information is not permitted. If it is determined that the data is information that is not permitted to be disclosed (S330: Yes), the process proceeds to S335, and if it is determined that the data is not information that is not permitted to be disclosed (S330: No), the process returns to S305.

[0056] In S335, the disclosure denial information acquired in S315 is displayed on the display device as "Disclosure of vehicle status information requested for disclosure is not permitted", and then the process returns to S305.

[0057] (Features of the vehicle movement management system) In the vehicle movement management system 1 described above, the movement information of the vehicle 3 is transmitted from the vehicle 3 to the server 30 and stored in the server-side storage unit 32. In addition, the user-side terminal 40 on the user side transmits to the server 30 the disclosed vehicle identification information, the requested time for disclosure of the movement information of the vehicle 3, and the disclosed user identification information.

[0058] On the server 30 side, it is determined whether the disclosed vehicle identification information and disclosed user identification information received by the server side receiving unit 31 match the vehicle identification information and user identification information stored in the server side storage unit 32, and if they match, and if the disclosure request time received by the server side receiving unit 31 is included in the disclosure permission time, the status information of the vehicle 3 identified by the vehicle identification information is transmitted to the user side terminal 40 via the communication line 5.

[0059] Then, on the user side where the user terminal 40 is located, the user of the vehicle 3 can know the vehicle 3's status information only if the disclosure permission conditions are met, resulting in a vehicle status management system 1 in which the safety of the disclosure information on the vehicle 3's status is ensured.

[0060] On the other hand, as long as the disclosure permission conditions are met, the vehicle status information can be obtained not only for the vehicle 3 that the user is using, but also for vehicles 3 that are not being used by the user, making it possible to provide a very convenient vehicle status management system 1 while ensuring information security.

[0061] In other words, information can be exchanged between the vehicle 3, the provider of the vehicle 3, and the user of the vehicle 3, allowing for convenient management of the vehicle 3 movement while ensuring information security. In addition, if the temperature inside the vehicle (temperature inside the storage compartment) is obtained as dynamic information, it will be useful for carrying out hygiene management in accordance with ACCAP as established by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and will also be useful when temperature control or temperature control history is required for vaccines, medical supplies, etc.

[0062] [Second embodiment] Next, a vehicle movement management system 1 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the disclosure permission determination process according to the second embodiment. Note that the permission determination process shown in Fig. 5 is similar to the disclosure permission determination process according to the first embodiment, and therefore a description of the same processes will be omitted.

[0063] In addition, since the configuration of the system itself in the second embodiment is the same as the configuration of the vehicle movement management system 1 in the first embodiment, a description of the system configuration and system components will be omitted. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the movement information of the vehicle 3 includes the current position of the vehicle 3, departure time, waiting time, rest time, and estimated arrival time.

[0064] In the second embodiment, the server-side storage unit 32 stores in advance the departure point, route, designated points on the route, and destination of each vehicle 3. As shown in FIG. 5, in S200, the CPU reads out the disclosed user identification information, disclosed vehicle identification information, permitted disclosure time, departure point of vehicle 3, route, designated points on the route, and destination from the external storage device.

[0065] In S207 following S205, map information is read from the server-side storage unit 32, and then the process proceeds to S210. This map information is map information used for so-called car navigation, and is map information that can identify a driving route from the current position of the vehicle 3 to a destination position.

[0066] In S220, the requested disclosure time read in S200 is compared with the permitted disclosure time acquired in S205 to determine whether the requested disclosure time is within the permitted disclosure time. If it is determined that the requested disclosure time is within the permitted disclosure time (S220: Yes), the process proceeds to S223, and if it is determined that the requested disclosure time is outside the permitted disclosure time (S220: No), the process proceeds to S230.

[0067] In S223, the arrival time from the current position of vehicle 3 to the destination is calculated based on the destination of vehicle 3 read out in S200, the vehicle 3 status information (current position) acquired in S205, and the map information read out in S207, and the estimated arrival time at the destination, delay time to the destination, and estimated delay time at the specified point are calculated based on the departure time, waiting time, rest time, and estimated arrival time in the status information.

[0068] In S225, the server-side transmitter 34 outputs the current position of the vehicle 3, the estimated arrival time at the destination calculated in S223, the delay time to the destination, and the estimated delay time at the specified point, along with the disclosed vehicle identification information, to the user-side terminal 40 via the communication line 5, and then the process returns to S205.

[0069] In such a vehicle status management system 1, the user of the vehicle 3 can know the current location of the vehicle that has been permitted to be disclosed, as well as the arrival time of the vehicle 3 at its destination, making the vehicle status management system 1 more convenient.

[0070] [Third embodiment] Next, a vehicle movement management system 2 according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the vehicle movement management system 2 according to the third embodiment. Note that the movement management system 2 shown in Fig. 6 is similar to the vehicle movement management system 1 according to the first embodiment, and therefore a description of the same components will be omitted.

[0071] As shown in Figure 6, the vehicle status information acquisition unit 20 does not acquire vehicle status information from devices such as a GPS receiver 21 or a digital tachograph 22 installed in the vehicle 3, but rather acquires vehicle status information of the vehicle 3 from other systems via a communication line 5.

[0072] Specifically, the vehicle status information acquisition unit 20 is a transceiver that transmits and receives data via the communication line 5. The vehicle status information acquisition unit 20 receives vehicle status information having the same content as the vehicle status information in the first embodiment from other vehicle status management systems 6 or other services 7 via the communication line 5.

[0073] The contents of the vehicle-side control process, disclosure permission determination process, and user-side terminal control process in the third embodiment are the same as the contents of each process in the first and second embodiments.

[0074] [Other embodiments] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment and can be modified in various ways. (1) The vehicle-side transmitter 11, the vehicle-side controller 12, and the movement information acquirer 20 provided in the vehicle 3 may be realized using a portable terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. Similarly, the user terminal 40 may be realized using a portable terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal.

[0075] (2) In the third embodiment, the vehicle status information acquisition unit 20 of the vehicle 3 acquires vehicle status information from other vehicle status management systems 76 or other services via the communication line 5. However, the vehicle status information acquisition unit 20 may be placed in the server 30, and the server 30 may acquire the vehicle status information.

[0076] (3) In addition, the status information of some vehicles 3 may be acquired using the GPS receiver 21 of the status information acquisition unit 20 in the first embodiment, and the status information of other vehicles 3 may be acquired from another status management system 6 or another service 7 as in the second or third embodiment.
