  The hard disk device 210 records matrix information (= related information) in which one or more portable devices 100 are associated with one or more vehicle units 300. In addition, preference information (= setting information) associated with a combination of the portable device 100 and the vehicle unit 300 is recorded. Details of the matrix information and the preference information will be described later.

  The data receiving unit 220 carries a portable device unique code, which is an identification code unique to each portable device 100, and a driving device adjustment request using a communication I / F (= communication means, second communication means) not shown. From the machine 100. When this reception is performed, the identification unit 230 determines the vehicle unit 300 associated with the portable device 100 based on the matrix information.

  The data transmission / reception unit 240 communicates with the vehicle unit 300 using the communication I / F. The data transmission / reception unit 240 transmits the preference information associated with the portable device and the driving device adjustment request to the vehicle unit 300 based on the determination result of the identification unit 230. Further, adjustment result information indicating the adjustment result of the driving device is received as a response to the adjustment request.

  The vehicle unit 300 includes at least a data transmission / reception unit 310, a driving device adjustment unit 320 (= driving device adjustment unit), a travel detection unit 330 (= travel detection unit), an adjustment availability determination unit 340 (= adjustment prohibition unit), and an adjustment result.

Receiving this, the identification unit 230 updates the preference information associated with the vehicle unit 300 based on the adjustment result information.

<2. About matrix information>
Here, an example of matrix information according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the table of FIG.

  Matrix information is information in a matrix format that represents vehicle unit unique codes in columns and portable machine unique codes in rows. When the vehicle unit is associated with the portable device, the intersection of the corresponding vehicle unit unique code column and the row of the portable device unique code is indicated with a mark “◯”.

  FIG. 2 is an example of a matrix table. The vehicle unit 1 that is one of the vehicle unit unique codes is associated with the portable device 1 and the portable device 2 among the five portable device unique codes. Further, the vehicle unit 2 is related only to the portable device 1. Similarly, the vehicle unit 3 and the portable device 3, the vehicle unit 4 and the portable device 4, and the vehicle unit 5 and the portable device 5 are associated with each other.

  The vehicle unit unique code is information for distinguishing vehicle units. In the above example, it is simply expressed as “vehicle unit 1” or the like, but in actual operation, for example, a MAC address is used as a vehicle unit specific code. The MAC address is a 48-bit address assigned to a MAC (medium access control) layer that is a sub-layer of the data link layer among the seven layers of the OSI reference model. Similarly, the MAC address is used as the portable device specific code for the portable device.

  For example, the MAC address of the portable device 1 is represented as “FF 00 00 00 00 01”, the portable device 2 is represented as “FF 00 00 00 00 02”, and the portable device 3 is represented as “FF 00 00 00 00 03”. Similarly, the MAC address of the vehicle unit 1 is represented as “00 00 00 00 00 01”, the vehicle unit 2 is represented as “00 00 00 00 00 02”, and the vehicle unit 3 is represented as “00 00 00 00 00 03”.

  Next, registration of matrix information will be described. Registration of matrix information is performed by the user using the portable device 100. Specifically, when the user performs a registration operation on the portable device 100, the code acquisition unit 120 acquires a vehicle unit specific code from the vehicle. Then, the acquired vehicle unit unique code and the portable device unique code of the portable device 100 are transmitted to the server device 200 using the transmission means 110.

  The server device 200 receives both codes described above using the data receiving unit 220. Both received codes are given to the identification unit 230. The identification unit 230 collates both codes with the matrix information recorded on the hard disk device 210.

  For example, it is assumed that the received portable device unique code is “FF 00 00 00 00 01” and the vehicle unit unique code is “00 00 00 00 00 01”. In this case, the value of the portable device unique code represented by the portable device 1, the portable device 2, and the portable device 3 registered in the matrix information is sequentially compared with “FF 00 00 00 00 01”.

  Next, the value of the column representing the vehicle code registered in the matrix information is sequentially compared with “00 00 00 00 00 01”. As a result, since it matches the portable device 1 “FF 00 00 00 00 01” and the vehicle unit 1 “00 00 00 00 00 01”, it is determined that both received codes are included in the matrix information. Registration is not performed. If not included in the matrix information, the identification unit 230 registers both received codes in the matrix information recorded in the hard disk device 210.

  From the viewpoint of security, an examination mechanism may be provided when both codes are newly registered in the matrix information. For example, an administrator of the server apparatus 200 is set separately, and owner information of the portable device 100 and the vehicle unit 300, a borrowed certificate, or the like is sent to the administrator of the server apparatus 200. Then, the document may be examined, and the administrator may determine whether or not to register in the matrix information based on the result.

<3. About preference information>
Here, an example of the preference information according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The preference information is a value indicating the content of adjustment for the driver to adjust the driving device according to his / her preference. The preference information includes, for example, a seating position, an adjustment value of a room mirror, a right side mirror, and a left side mirror. In the example of FIG. 3, the seating position includes a value indicating that adjustment is performed by moving 10 centimeters forward with respect to the origin of the seating position and moving leftward by 10 centimeters while maintaining the reference value in the left-right direction. ing.

  As for the rearview mirror, values obtained by rotating 10 degrees in the vertical direction and 25 degrees in the horizontal direction are shown. Similarly, for the right side mirror, the vertical direction is a reference value, and the horizontal direction is a value rotated by 10 degrees. As for the left side mirror, the vertical direction is a reference value and the horizontal direction is a value rotated by 20 degrees.

<4. Adjustment instruction processing>
Here, an example of the adjustment instruction process of the driving device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing flow shown in FIG. 4 can be started at an arbitrary timing in a state where the server apparatus 200 is activated and the server apparatus 200 can communicate with the portable device 100 and the vehicle unit 300.

  After the start of this process, in step S110, the data receiving unit 220 determines whether or not the driving device adjustment request including the portable device unique code and the vehicle unit unique code has been received from the portable device 100. The driving device adjustment request is transmitted when the user performs a predetermined operation on the portable device 100, for example, by pressing a transmission start button assigned in advance to a button (= operation means) of the portable device 100.

  When reception is not detected, it transfers to step S110 again and the driving device adjustment request is continuously monitored. If reception is detected, the identification unit 230 collates the portable device unique code and the vehicle unit unique code included in the driving device adjustment request with the matrix information in step S120. As a result of the collation, if it is determined that the two codes are not associated with each other, the operation apparatus adjustment request is discarded in step 125, and then the present process is terminated.

  When it is determined that the association is made, the identification unit 230 reads the preference information associated with the corresponding portable device 100 from the hard disk device 210 in step S130. Then, the data transmission / reception unit 240 transmits the read preference information to the vehicle unit 300 in step S140.

  When the data transmission / reception unit 310 of the vehicle unit 300 receives the above-described preference information, the adjustment availability determination unit 340 determines whether or not the driving device can be adjusted in step S150. The adjustment availability determination unit 340 determines whether adjustment is possible based on the travel information acquired from the travel detection unit 330. The travel information is, for example, information indicating an engine start state, a side brake state, and the like. When the engine is stopped, it is determined that the vehicle can be adjusted because the vehicle cannot travel. When the engine is started and the side brake is released, it is determined that the vehicle cannot be adjusted because the vehicle is ready to run.

  If it is determined that adjustment is not possible, the adjustment availability determination unit 340 discards the received preference information in step S155, and then ends this process. When it is determined that adjustment is possible, the adjustment availability determination unit 340 gives an instruction to adjust the driving device based on the preference information to the driving device adjustment unit 320 in step S160, and then ends this process.

<5. Adjustment process>
Here, an example of the adjustment process of the driving device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing flow shown in FIG. 5 can be started at an arbitrary timing in a state where the power source of the vehicle unit 300 is activated and communication with the server device 200 is possible.

  After the start of this process, the driving device adjustment unit 320 determines in step S210 whether or not an adjustment instruction for the driving device has been detected. The adjustment instruction is issued, for example, when the passenger performs an adjustment operation using an operation device (not shown) provided in the vehicle unit 300 and the adjustment availability determination unit 340 determines that the adjustment is possible. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, it is also issued when preference information is received from the server device 200. When the adjustment instruction is not detected, the process proceeds to step S210 again, and the adjustment instruction is continuously detected.

  When the adjustment instruction is detected, the driving device adjustment unit 320 adjusts the driving device. In step S220, the adjustment result information acquisition unit 350 acquires adjustment result information of each driving device from a drive control unit (not shown). The adjustment result information includes the same type of information as part or all of the above-described preference information. Further, in step S230, the acquired adjustment result information is compared with the preference information. In step S240, it is determined whether or not there is a difference between the adjustment values included in both pieces of information.

  If there is no difference, it is not manual adjustment, that is, adjustment based on an instruction from the server device 200. In this case, after the adjustment by the driving device adjustment unit 320 is performed, the present process is terminated. If there is a difference, it is determined that manual adjustment is performed by the controller device, and the process proceeds to the next step S250.

  In step S250, the vehicle unit 300 uses the data transmission / reception unit 310 to transmit the adjustment result information to the server device 200 via the public network. Receiving the adjustment result information, the identification unit 230 of the server device 200 updates the corresponding preference information based on the received adjustment result information and records it in the hard disk device 210 in step 260.

  At this time, the identification unit 230 collates the received preference information with the matrix information. In the matrix information, when there is one portable device 100 associated with the vehicle unit 300 on which the driving device adjustment is performed, the preference information of the portable device 100 is updated based on the adjustment result information.

  When there are a plurality of portable devices 100 associated with the vehicle unit 300 described above, the preference information of the portable device 100 that has made a driving device adjustment request to the vehicle unit 300 is updated. Note that if the portable device 100 that has made the driving device adjustment request does not exist or cannot be determined, the received adjustment result information is discarded.

  According to the present embodiment described above, when a plurality of users share the vehicle unit 300 and a certain user uses the vehicle unit 300 in which the setting has been changed by another user, each user possesses it. It is possible to easily change the setting of the vehicle equipment using the preference information associated with the portable device 100 to be performed. Further, even if a setting request is received from the portable device 100 in a state where the driving device cannot be adjusted, such as during driving, the safety is not deteriorated. In addition, when the driving device is manually adjusted in the vehicle unit 300, the preference information existing in the server device 200 is updated, so that the user can easily change the preference information.
