  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, operation | movement of the warehousing process system 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing operation information transmission processing by the warehousing processing system according to the present embodiment. The process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 is executed by the control unit 7 of the in-vehicle device 6 at predetermined intervals, for example.

  In step S <b> 01, the warehousing process control unit 72 determines whether or not the vehicle 2 has entered an area that is a predetermined distance or less from the center 10. The warehousing process control unit 72 can acquire the current position of the vehicle 2 based on information received from the outside by the GPS receiver 3 and determine that the vehicle is approaching a predetermined distance from the center 10. As a result of the determination in step S01, if the vehicle 2 has entered an area of a predetermined distance or less with respect to the center 10, the process proceeds to step S02. Otherwise, it is detected that the vehicle 2 has entered the area. Wait until.

  Here, the above-mentioned “area of a predetermined distance or less with respect to the center 10” may mean an area based on the site of the center 10, or an area based on the installation position of the center-side terminal 11. It may mean what is meant, or may mean an area based on a communication device used by the center side terminal 11 for wireless communication. Further, the “predetermined distance” is not necessarily the same in all directions.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in step S02, the warehousing process control unit 72 determines whether or not the current time is included in the designated time zone for warehousing. The warehousing process control unit 72 acquires the current time based on, for example, a clock installed in the vehicle 2 or the vehicle-mounted device 6 or GPS information received by the GPS receiver 3. As a result of the determination in step S02, if the current time is included in the designated time zone for warehousing, the process proceeds to step S03, and if not, the process returns to step S01.

  In step S03, as a result of the determinations in steps S01 and S02 described above, predetermined warehousing conditions (the vehicle 2 has entered an area within a predetermined distance from the center 10 and the current time is the designated time for warehousing. In order to start the warehousing process, the communication selection unit 73 first selects the communication unit with the highest priority. The communication selection unit 73 refers to the priority information storage unit 76, refers to the priority information of each communication unit 81, 82, 83 set for the vehicle 2, and refers to the first wireless communication unit 81, The communication unit with the highest priority is selected from the second wireless communication unit 82 and the third wireless communication unit 83. The communication selection unit 73 outputs information on the selected communication unit to the warehousing process control unit 72. When the process of step S03 is completed, the process proceeds to step S04.

  In step S <b> 04, the warehousing process control unit 72 starts data transmission of operation information to the center side terminal 11. The warehousing process control unit 72 transmits the operation information of the vehicle 2 stored in the operation information storage unit 77 to the center terminal 11 using the communication unit selected by the communication selection unit 73 in step S03. When the process of step S04 is completed, the process proceeds to step S05.

  In step S05, it is determined by the communication selection unit 73 whether or not a communication speed higher than a specified communication speed is output in the communication unit selected in step S03 and currently used for data transmission of operation information. As a result of the determination in step S05, if the communication speed is equal to or higher than the designated communication speed, the process proceeds to step S12, and if not, the process proceeds to step S06.

  In step S06, the communication selection unit 73 changes the communication unit used for data transmission of operation information from the current one to the communication unit with the next highest priority. As in step S03, the communication selection unit 73 refers to the priority information storage unit 76 and determines the priority from the first wireless communication unit 81, the second wireless communication unit 82, and the third wireless communication unit 83. Select a higher communication section. For example, when the communication unit changing process in this step is the first time, the communication selection unit 73 newly selects a communication unit having the second highest priority in the priority information. In addition, when the communication unit changing process in this step is the second time, the communication selection unit 73 is the communication unit having the third highest priority in the priority information (that is, the communication having the lowest priority in this embodiment). Part) is newly selected. The communication selection unit 73 outputs information on the selected communication unit to the warehousing process control unit 72. The warehousing process control part 72 changes the communication part currently used for the data transmission of operation information to the communication part newly selected by the communication selection part 73. FIG. When the process of step S06 is completed, the process proceeds to step S07.

  In step S07, the communication selection unit 73 determines whether or not the communication speed that is selected in step S06 and is currently used for data transmission of operation information exceeds the specified communication speed. If the result of determination in step S07 is greater than or equal to the specified communication speed, the process proceeds to step S12, and if not, the process proceeds to step S08.

  In step S08, the communication selection unit 73 determines whether or not the communication unit used for data transmission of operation information has been changed a predetermined number of times in the current processing flow. In the present embodiment, since there are three types of communication units included in the in-vehicle device 6, the first wireless communication unit 81, the second wireless communication unit 82, and the third wireless communication unit 83, the predetermined number of communication unit changes in this step Is “twice”. As a result of the determination in step S08, if the communication unit has been changed a predetermined number of times, the process proceeds to step S09. Otherwise, the process returns to step S06 and the communication unit is changed again.

  In step S09, the communication selection unit 73 changes the communication unit used for data transmission of operation information from the currently selected one to the communication unit with the highest priority. As a result of the processing in steps S03 to S08, the specified communication speed cannot be secured in all the communication units 81, 82, 83 included in the in-vehicle device 6, and therefore, the communication unit with the highest priority in this step. Is tentatively selected. The warehousing process control unit 72 changes the communication unit used for data transmission of the operation information to the communication unit with the highest priority selected by the communication selection unit 73. When the process of step S09 is completed, the process proceeds to step S10.

  In step S10, it is determined by the communication selection unit 73 whether or not the specified communication speed is exceeded in the highest priority communication unit selected in step S09 and used for data transmission of the current operation information. Is done. If the result of determination in step S10 is greater than or equal to the specified communication speed, the process proceeds to step S12, and if not, the process proceeds to step S11.

  In step S11, as a result of the determination in step S10, the designated communication speed cannot be secured even in the communication unit with the highest priority temporarily selected in step S09, so the communication speed is recovered by the warehousing process control unit 72. Until then, the transmission of the operation information data to the center terminal 11 is stopped. When the process of step S11 is completed, the process returns to step S10.

  In step S12, as a result of the processing in steps S03 to S11 described above, a communication unit having a specified communication speed or higher can be selected. Therefore, the warehousing process control unit 72 uses the selected communication unit to select the center. Data transmission of operation information to the side terminal 11 is continued. When the process of step S12 is completed, the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S13, the warehousing detection unit 74 determines whether or not the vehicle 2 has entered a predetermined warehousing location. In the present embodiment, a plurality of storage locations A and B are provided in the center 10 as spaces where each vehicle 2 belonging to the center 10 parks at the time of storage, and each of the plurality of storage locations A and B is different. It is designated to communicate with the center side terminal 11 using the communication unit (see FIG. 1). The warehousing detection part 74 can acquire the present position of the vehicle 2 based on the information received from the outside by the GPS receiver 3, and can determine that the vehicle 2 has entered a predetermined warehousing location. If the result of determination in step S13 is that the vehicle 2 has entered a predetermined storage location, the process proceeds to step S14, and if not, the process proceeds to step S15. In this step, before the vehicle 2 actually enters the predetermined storage location, the vehicle 2 has entered the predetermined storage location at the time when the vehicle 2 enters an area within a predetermined distance from the storage location. May be determined.

  In step S14, the communication selection part 73 changes the communication part used for data transmission of operation information to the communication part designated for every warehousing place. Since it is detected in step S13 that the vehicle 2 has entered the predetermined storage location, the communication selection unit 73 selects the communication unit assigned to the storage location with priority over the priority information. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, when the vehicle 2 enters the storage location A, the first wireless communication unit 81 is preferentially selected. Note that the in-vehicle device 6 holds the association between the storage location and the communication unit in advance, and is stored in, for example, the priority information storage unit 76. The warehousing process control part 72 changes the communication part currently used for the data transmission of operation information to the communication part newly selected by the communication selection part 73. FIG. When the process of step S14 is completed, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S15, the warehousing process control unit 72 determines whether or not the warehousing process has been completed. For example, the warehousing process control unit 72 receives a warehousing completion command input from the operator of the vehicle-mounted device 6 via the operation unit 75, or the data transmission of the operation information is completed. It can be determined that the processing is complete. As a result of the determination in step S15, if the warehousing process is completed, the process proceeds to step S16, and if not, the process returns to step S12.

  In step S <b> 16, the warehousing process control unit 72 transmits warehousing completion information notifying the center side terminal 11 that the warehousing process of the vehicle 2 has been completed. When the process of step S16 is completed, this control flow ends.

  Next, the effect of the warehousing process system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  The warehousing processing system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a center-side terminal 11 disposed in the center 10 and an in-vehicle device 6 mounted on the vehicle 2. The in-vehicle device 6 includes a communication unit (first wireless communication unit 81, second wireless communication unit 82, third wireless communication unit 83) that performs data communication with the center-side terminal 11, and a communication unit 81, And a control unit 7 that controls the warehousing process for transmitting the operation information of the vehicle 2 to the center side terminal 11 through 82 and 83. The warehousing process control unit 72 of the control unit 7 operates via the communication units 81, 82, and 83 when a predetermined warehousing condition is satisfied and the vehicle 2 enters an area that is a predetermined distance or less from the center 10. Information is transmitted to the center terminal 11.

  With this configuration, the warehousing process can be started before the vehicle 2 enters the predetermined warehousing location, and the operation information of the vehicle 2 can be transmitted to the center-side terminal 11, so when the vehicle 2 actually enters the warehousing, the terminal 11 The amount of data to be transmitted can be reduced, and as a result, the time required for the warehousing process after the vehicle 2 is parked at the warehousing location can be shortened.

  In the warehousing processing system 1 of the present embodiment, “when the warehousing condition is satisfied” includes a case where the current time is included in a predetermined warehousing time zone (the above-mentioned “designated time zone for warehousing”).

  With this configuration, when the vehicle 2 travels around the center 10 in a time zone other than the warehousing time zone, it is possible to prevent the operation information of the vehicle 2 from being erroneously transmitted to the center side terminal 11, and useless data transmission. Can be suppressed.

  Moreover, in the warehousing processing system 1 of the present embodiment, the vehicle 2 has a plurality of communication units (a first wireless communication unit 81, a second wireless communication unit 82, and a third wireless communication unit 83) having different communication types. When transmitting the operation information, the communication selection unit 73 of the control unit 7 selects one from a plurality of communication units, and when the communication speed of the selected one communication unit is equal to or lower than a predetermined value, the other communication unit is selected. select.

  With this configuration, it is possible to select a communication unit that is advantageous in terms of communication speed and transmit operation information. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the time required to transmit operation information, and it is necessary for the warehousing process after the vehicle 2 is parked at the warehousing location. Time can be further reduced.

  Moreover, in the warehousing process system 1 of the present embodiment, the control unit 7 of the in-vehicle device 6 includes a priority information storage unit 76 that stores priority information including the priorities of the plurality of communication units 81, 82, 83. The communication selection unit 73 of the control unit 7 selects the first communication unit having the highest priority from the plurality of communication units 81, 82, 83 when transmitting the operation information. Moreover, the control part 7 selects the 2nd communication part with the next highest priority, when the communication speed of the selected 1st communication part is below a predetermined value, and the communication speed of the selected 2nd communication part is If it is less than or equal to the predetermined value, the third communication unit with the next highest priority is selected.

  With this configuration, one can be selected from a plurality of communication units 81, 82, and 83 based on a predetermined priority, so that a more appropriate communication unit can be selected. For example, if a high priority is given to the communication units 81, 82, and 83 that have excellent communication performance, a reduction in the case where the communication speed of the selected communication unit is a predetermined value or less can be expected.

  Moreover, in the warehousing processing system 1 of the present embodiment, priority information is set for each vehicle 2 individually. Thereby, the tendency of the communication part which each vehicle 2 selects can be disperse | distributed, and selection of a more suitable communication part is attained.

  Moreover, in the warehousing processing system 1 of the present embodiment, the communication selection unit 73 of the control unit 7 is specified to be assigned to a specific location from among the plurality of communication units 81, 82, 83 when the vehicle 2 is at the specific location. Select the communication part. This specific place is, for example, a warehousing place where the vehicle 2 is parked at the time of warehousing.

  With this configuration, in addition to the selection based on the above priority, the tendency of the communication units selected by each vehicle 2 according to the position of the vehicle 2 can be further distributed, so that a more appropriate communication unit can be selected. It becomes. In the present embodiment, the “entrance location of the vehicle 2” is illustrated as a specific example of the above specific location. However, for example, a specific area around the center 10 may be set as the specific location.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, the said embodiment was shown as an example and is not intending limiting the range of invention.

The above-described embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof, as long as they are included in the scope and gist of the invention.

  In the above-described embodiment, the communication unit having the highest priority is first selected and data transmission is started, and then the communication unit is appropriately changed according to the communication speed while performing data transmission. Other configurations may be used as long as the communication speed is selected. For example, the communication speed of the communication unit may be confirmed first in descending order of priority, a communication unit that can secure the communication speed is determined, and then data transmission may be started.

  In the above embodiment, the current time is included in the warehousing time zone as one of the warehousing conditions for starting the warehousing process, but other conditions may be included. For example, the operation unit 75 of the in-vehicle device 6 is provided with a warehousing start button to be pressed when the driver of the vehicle 2 wants to start the warehousing process, and when this button is pressed, the vehicle 2 is predetermined with respect to the center 10. It is good also as a structure which starts a warehousing process when approaching the area below a distance. In addition, pressing of the warehousing start button may be added as one of the warehousing conditions.
