Description

車両遠隔制御システム、車載器、車両、サーバ、車両遠隔制御方法、車両遠隔制御プログラム及び記憶媒体Vehicle remote control system, vehicle-mounted device, vehicle, server, vehicle remote control method, vehicle remote control program, and storage medium
　本発明の実施形態は、車載器を搭載する車両に対して適用される車両遠隔制御システム、車載器、車両、サーバ、車両遠隔制御方法、車両遠隔制御プログラム及び記憶媒体に関するものである。 The embodiment of the present invention relates to a vehicle remote control system, an on-vehicle device, a vehicle, a server, a vehicle remote control method, a vehicle remote control program, and a storage medium applied to a vehicle equipped with an on-vehicle device.
　車両の規制を行う国や自治体にとって、車両のユーザの行動を管理することは難しく、違法ないし不適切な車両の運行がなされる状況があることが課題とされている。途上国においても車両の運行は、ユーザが収入を得るために重要な手段となっているが、必ずしも、この車両の運行が法令を遵守した運用になっていない場合もある。例えば、定められた各種税金を納付していない者でも自由に車両を使用できる状況が発生すると、税金未納者が納税を行わない状況が放置されるおそれがあるうえ、車両を使用している納税者にとっては納税義務に対する意識が希薄になりかねない。 It is difficult for countries and local governments that regulate vehicles to manage the behavior of vehicle users, and there are situations where illegal or improper vehicle operation may occur. Even in developing countries, vehicle operation is an important means for users to earn income, but this vehicle operation may not always be in compliance with laws and regulations. For example, if there is a situation in which a person who has not paid various prescribed taxes can use the vehicle freely, there is a risk that the taxpayers will not be able to pay the tax and the tax payment that uses the vehicle will be left. For people, the awareness of tax payment obligations may be weakened.
　また、ユーザに車両の保険への加入を法令により義務づけている場合でも、保険未加入であっても車両を運転可能な状況であると、保険未加入者による車両の運行を効果的に阻止することは難しい。 In addition, even if the user is obliged to take out the insurance of the vehicle by law, if the vehicle can be driven even if the insurance is not insured, the operation of the vehicle by the uninsured is effectively prevented. It's difficult.
　また、ユーザに車両の定期点検（以下「車検」という。）を義務づけている場合でも、未車検の車両が運行可能な状態であると、ユーザが車検を受けないままの状態が放置されるおそれがある。 Further, even if the user is required to perform a regular inspection of the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as “vehicle inspection”), if a vehicle that has not yet undergone vehicle inspection is in a operable state, the user may be left in a state where the vehicle inspection is not performed. There is.
　また、法令により、ナンバープレートのナンバーに応じて特定エリアへの車両の進入を規制する場合でも、ユーザが規制を守る保証はなく、また、ユーザにその規制内容が周知されていなければ、特定エリアへの車両の進入を規制することは難しい。 In addition, even if the vehicle is restricted from entering a specific area according to the number of the license plate by law, there is no guarantee that the user will comply with the restriction, and if the content of the restriction is not known to the user, It is difficult to regulate the entry of vehicles into.
　近年では、車両の運行状況を監視したり、あるいは、車両を遠隔制御したりする技術が知られている。車両の運行を監視する技術としては、特許文献１～特許文献３が挙げられる。特許文献１には、車両の走行状況、走行場所、走行時刻に応じて事故発生のリスクを定量化して収集する運行状況監視システムが記載されている。 In recent years, technologies for monitoring the operation status of vehicles or remotely controlling vehicles have been known. As a technique for monitoring the operation of a vehicle, there are Patent Documents 1 to 3. Patent Document 1 describes an operation status monitoring system that quantifies and collects the risk of accident occurrence according to the running status, running location, and running time of a vehicle.
　特許文献２には、車両の形式、ユーザの等級や属性を基に、保険料を計算すると共に、車両の形式や位置データを基に、自動車取得税、自動車重量税等を計算する方法が記載されている。 Patent Document 2 describes a method of calculating an insurance premium based on a vehicle type, a grade and an attribute of a user, and a vehicle acquisition tax, a vehicle weight tax, etc. based on a vehicle type and position data. Has been done.
　特許文献３には、車両種別やナンバープレートのナンバー等による時間規制が行われている道路または区域を示す情報である通行規制情報に基づき、規制されている道路または区域を避ける経路を検索し、規制対象車両となってる場合には規制対象車両であること及び通行規制解除までの時間を報知するナビゲーション装置が記載されている。 In Patent Document 3, a route that avoids a regulated road or area is searched based on traffic regulation information that is information indicating a road or area that is subject to time regulation by vehicle type or license plate number. When the vehicle is a regulated vehicle, a navigation device is described that informs that the vehicle is a regulated vehicle and the time until the traffic regulation is released.
　車両を遠隔制御する技術としては、特許文献４及び特許文献５が挙げられる。特許文献４には、車両の起動不可状態と起動可能状態とを切り替える外部リレーを制御する車載器を、サーバからのリレー制御指令により遠隔制御する車両遠隔制御システムが記載されている。 Patent Literature 4 and Patent Literature 5 are examples of technologies for remotely controlling a vehicle. Patent Document 4 describes a vehicle remote control system that remotely controls an on-vehicle device that controls an external relay that switches between a non-startable state and a startable state of a vehicle by a relay control command from a server.
　特許文献５には、車検が無効な場合や免許証が無効な場合には、車両のエンジンの始動を禁止する手段を設けると共に、保険の適用の可否を表示する運転許可装置が記載されている。 Patent Document 5 describes a driving permission device that, when the vehicle inspection is invalid or the license is invalid, provides a means for prohibiting starting of the engine of the vehicle and displays whether or not insurance is applicable. .
特開２００４－２４０６８８号公報JP, 2004-240688, A 特開２００４－２１３１６３号公報JP 2004-213163 A 特開２０１０－２０４００１号公報JP, 2010-204001, A 特許第６２３８０３８号公報Japanese Patent No. 6238038 特開２０１７－０４３１９０号公報JP, 2017-043190, A
　特許文献１～特許文献３の技術では、車両の運行を監視するものではあるが、車両を遠隔制御するものではない。特許文献１のシステムでは、事故発生のリスクを定量化して収集することはできるが、車両の遠隔制御を行うことはできないシステムであり、また、特許文献１には、このリスクをどのように活用するかまでは記載されいない。 The technologies of Patent Documents 1 to 3 monitor the operation of the vehicle, but do not remotely control the vehicle. In the system of Patent Document 1, the risk of accident occurrence can be quantified and collected, but the system cannot control the vehicle remotely. In Patent Document 1, how to utilize this risk. It is not stated until you do.
　特許文献２の方法では、保険料の計算や、自動車取得税、自動車重量税等の計算はできるが、車両の遠隔制御を行うものではなく、また、特許文献２には保険料や税金の納付を促進することまでは記載されていない。 The method of Patent Document 2 can calculate insurance premiums, vehicle acquisition tax, vehicle weight tax, etc., but does not perform remote control of the vehicle, and Patent Document 2 pays insurance premiums and taxes. It is not described until the promotion of.
　特許文献３の装置では、規制対象車両となってる場合には規制対象車両であること及び通行規制解除までの時間が報知されるが、車両の遠隔制御を行うものではないため、規制対象車両となっている場合にも当該車両の運行が可能となってしまう。 In the device of Patent Document 3, when the vehicle is a restricted vehicle, it is notified that the vehicle is a restricted vehicle and the time until the passage restriction is released. However, since the vehicle is not remotely controlled, Even if it is, the vehicle can be operated.
　また、特許文献４のシステムでは、車両の起動不可状態と起動可能状態とを遠隔制御により切り替えるものであり、車両のリース料金やレンタル料金の支払いに応じた車両の起動不可状態と起動可能状態との切り替えについては実現可能であるが、特許文献４には、税金や保険や車検や車両規制等の問題についてまでは記載されていない。 In addition, the system of Patent Document 4 switches between a non-startable state and a startable state of a vehicle by remote control, and a non-startable state and a startable state of the vehicle according to payment of a lease fee or rental fee of the vehicle. However, Patent Document 4 does not describe problems such as tax, insurance, vehicle inspection, vehicle regulation, and the like.
　また、特許文献５の装置では、免許証がＩＣ運転免許証である必要があると共に、車検協会が正確な車検情報を一元管理していることが必須の条件となるが、例えば途上国の状況を踏まえた場合、必ずしもＩＣ運転免許証の普及や、車検情報の一元管理が望めない場合もある。 Further, in the device of Patent Document 5, the license must be an IC driver's license, and it is essential that the vehicle inspection association centrally manages accurate vehicle inspection information. For example, the situation in developing countries Based on the above, it may not always be possible to expect widespread use of IC driver's licenses and centralized management of vehicle inspection information.
　このような従来の問題点に鑑み、本願の実施形態の課題は、税金、保険、車検等の情報提供サービスから得られる情報が限られている条件の中でも、税金、保険、車検及び車両規制等の問題に対処し得る車両遠隔制御システム、車載器、車両、サーバ、車両遠隔制御方法、車両遠隔制御プログラム及び記憶媒体を提供することにある。 In view of such a conventional problem, the problem of the embodiment of the present application is that the tax, insurance, vehicle inspection, vehicle regulation, etc. are provided even under the condition that the information obtained from the information providing service such as tax, insurance, vehicle inspection, etc. is limited.

　後述のように、義務情報演算手段７１で演算された義務情報の一部は税金管理システム８１、保険管理システム８２、車検管理システム８３、車両規制データベース８４へ入力されると共に、税金管理システム８１、保険管理システム８２、車検管理システム８３、車両規制データベース８４から出力される情報は、義務情報演算手段７１でのさらなる義務情報の演算に用いることができる。例えば、税金管理システム８１からはユーザの税金納付の有無を含む税金納付情報が出力され、また、保険管理システム８２からはユーザの保険料納付の有無を含む保険料納付情報を出力される。車載器１は電子ナンバープレート等から車検情報を収集し、車両情報をサーバ３に送信することにより、サーバ３の義務情報演算手段７１では車検が有効であるか否かを判断することができ、この車検に関する情報は、車検管理システム８３に提供することができる。あるいは、例えば車検管理システム８３において一元的に車検情報が管理されている場合等には、サーバ３は車検管理システム８３から車検情報を得ることも可能である。義務情報演算手段７１は、サーバ車両規制データベース８４から取得された車両規制情報及び車載器１から収集された車両情報から、車両規制に関する車両規制情報を把握することができる。 As will be described later, a part of the obligation information calculated by the obligation information calculation means 71 is input to the tax management system 81, the insurance management system 82, the vehicle inspection management system 83, the vehicle regulation database 84, and the tax management system 81, The information output from the insurance management system 82, the vehicle inspection management system 83, and the vehicle regulation database 84 can be used for further calculation of obligation information by the obligation information calculation means 71. For example, the tax management system 81 outputs tax payment information including the presence / absence of tax payment by the user, and the insurance management system 82 outputs insurance premium payment information including the presence / absence of payment of insurance premium by the user. The vehicle-mounted device 1 collects vehicle inspection information from an electronic license plate or the like and transmits the vehicle information to the server 3, so that the duty information calculation means 71 of the server 3 can determine whether the vehicle inspection is valid or not. Information regarding this vehicle inspection can be provided to the vehicle inspection management system 83. Alternatively, for example, when the vehicle inspection management system 83 centrally manages the vehicle inspection information, the server 3 can obtain the vehicle inspection information from the vehicle inspection management system 83. The obligation information calculation means 71 can grasp the vehicle regulation information regarding the vehicle regulation from the vehicle regulation information acquired from the server vehicle regulation database 84 and the vehicle information collected from the vehicle-mounted device 1.
　サーバ３は、車載器１から定期的に受信する車両情報から車両の稼働状況を把握することができる。サーバ３は、車載器１から車両情報を受信することにより、必要に応じて、駐車状況、すなわち、所定の駐車場に車両を駐車中であるか、所定の駐車場以外の場所に車両を駐車中であるか、車両２の稼働状況、車両２による通勤での使用状況、車両２がタクシーである場合には車両２の稼働状況、車両２が営業用車両である場合には車両２の稼働状況、車両２が運送用車両である場合には車両２の稼働状況、車両２が建設機械である場合には車両２の稼働状況、及び、車両が盗難された可能性を示す情報等を把握することができる。収入予測部６１では後述のように、これらの車両２の稼働状況から各ユーザの収入を予測することができ、この予測された収入に関する情報、あるいは、予測された収入に基づく税金に関する情報は、税金管理システムに提供される。また、車両情報から保険料金に関する情報を得ることができるため、この保険料金に関する情報は、保険管理システムに提供される。 The server 3 can grasp the operating status of the vehicle from the vehicle information that is regularly received from the vehicle-mounted device 1. By receiving the vehicle information from the vehicle-mounted device 1, the server 3 parks the vehicle in a parking condition, that is, in a predetermined parking lot or parks the vehicle in a place other than the predetermined parking lot as necessary.

Further, since the information regarding the insurance fee can be obtained from the vehicle information, the information regarding the insurance fee is provided to the insurance management system.
　対応する車両を起動可能状態ないし起動不可状態へ変更するか否かの判断、後述の車両の運行状態の判断、後述の盗難発生時や異常発生時のユーザへの問い合わせ及び警察への通報等は、サーバ３により自動的に行うようにしてもよいし、その一部又は全部を管理者がマニュアルで行うようにしてもよい。これらの判断をサーバ３により自動的に行う場合には、管理者の負担を軽減することが可能である。一方、これらの判断の一部又は全部を管理者がマニュアルで行うようにした場合には、サーバ３において複雑な条件判断を行う必要がないため、サーバ３の構成を簡略化できる。 For determining whether to change the corresponding vehicle to a startable state or a non-startable state, determining the operating state of the vehicle described below, inquiring to the user when the theft or abnormality occurs, and reporting to the police, etc. The server 3 may automatically perform this, or a part or all of it may be manually performed by the administrator. When these determinations are automatically performed by the server 3, it is possible to reduce the burden on the administrator. On the other hand, when the administrator manually makes some or all of these judgments, it is not necessary for the server 3 to make complicated condition judgments, so that the configuration of the server 3 can be simplified.
　サーバ３では、車両２の起動不可状態ないし起動可能状態への制御に際して、例えば、図３のような演算が行われている。ステップＣ１で演算がスタートする。ステップＣ２では、税金納付情報によりユーザによる税金納付があるか否かを判定し、イエスの場合にはステップＣ３へ進み、ノーの場合ステップＣ７へ進む。なお、ステップＣ２においては、併せて、ユーザの収入予測や税金額を税金管理システム８１に提供することができる。ステップＣ３では、保険料納付情報によりユーザによる保険料納付があるか否かを判定し、イエスの場合にはステップＣ４へ、ノーの場合にはステップＣ７へ進む。なお、ステップＣ３においては、併せて、ユーザの保険料金に関する情報を保険管理システム８２に提供することができる。ステップＣ４では、車検が有効であるか否かを判定し、イエスの場合にはステップＣ５へ、ノーの場合にはステップＣ７へ進む。なお、ステップＣ４においては、併せて、車検情報を車検管理システム８３に提供することができる。ステップＣ５では、車両が車両規制対象でないことを確認し、イエスの場合、すなわち、車両規制対象でない場合には、ステップＣ６へ進み、ノーの場合、すなわち、車両規制対象である場合には、ステップＣ７へ進む。ステップＣ６では、車両２は、起動可能状態となるように制御される。一方、ステップＣ７では、車両２は、起動不能状態となるように制御される。以下、各ステップについて詳細に説明する。 At the server 3, when the vehicle 2 is controlled to the non-startable state or the startable state, for example, the calculation shown in FIG. 3 is performed. The calculation starts at step C1. In step C2, it is determined from the tax payment information whether or not there is tax payment by the user. If yes, the process proceeds to step C3, and if no, the process proceeds to step C7. In addition, in step C2, the income forecast of the user and the tax amount can also be provided to the tax management system 81. In step C3, it is determined from the insurance premium payment information whether or not the insurance premium is paid by the user. If yes, the process proceeds to step C4, and if no, the process proceeds to step C7. In addition, in step C3, the insurance management system 82 can be provided with the information regarding the insurance fee of the user. In step C4, it is determined whether the vehicle inspection is valid. If yes, the process proceeds to step C5, and if no, the process proceeds to step C7. In addition, in step C4, vehicle inspection information can also be provided to the vehicle inspection management system 83. In Step C5, it is confirmed that the vehicle is not subject to vehicle regulation. If the result is Yes, that is, if it is not subject to vehicle regulation, the procedure proceeds to Step C6. Proceed to C7. In Step C6, the vehicle 2 is controlled so as to be in the startable state. On the other hand, in step C7, the vehicle 2 is controlled so as to be in the unbootable state. Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail.
［税金に関する演算］
　ステップＣ２では、義務情報演算手段７１の収入予測演算手段７２においてユーザの収入を予測し、この予測した収入額に基づいて、義務情報演算手段７１において、税金、例えば所得税の金額を計算し、税金管理システムに出力することができる。車両情報収集部３２では、車載器１から無線通信ネットワーク３４及び送受信部３３を介して、車両２の車両情報を収集し、この車両情報は、義務情報演算手段７１に送信され、収入予測部６１に提供される。車両情報には、例えば、車両２に搭載されたＧＰＳ２４からの位置情報、外部バッテリ２１の電源入力の情報、及び、走行状態識別線（ＡＣＣ線、ＩＧ線）２２からのＩＧＮ入力情報だけではなく、図示省略されているが、車両２の起動状態を制御する外部リレー２０の情報、速度情報、タコメータの情報、タコグラフの情報、ドアロックの情報、イモビライザーの情報、エンジンスタートボタンの情報、タクシーの料金メータの情報、アクセルペダルの踏み込み量の情報（例えばスロットルバルブの開度の情報等も含む。以下、同様。）、電子ナンバープレート情報、ナビゲーションシステムの情報（例えば位置情報ないし経路情報等）、車載記憶手段の情報、及び、その他車両の稼働状況を把握できる各種情報等が含まれるため、収入予測演算手段７２では、この車両情報を用いて、ユーザの収入を予測することができる。 [Calculations on taxes]
In step C2, the income prediction calculation means 72 of the duty information calculation means 71 predicts the income of the user, and the duty information calculation means 71 calculates the amount of tax, for example, the amount of income tax, based on the predicted income amount. Can be output to the management system. The vehicle information collection unit 32 collects vehicle information of the vehicle 2 from the vehicle-mounted device 1 via the wireless communication network 34 and the transmission / reception unit 33, and this vehicle information is transmitted to the duty information calculation unit 71 and the income prediction unit 61. Provided to. The vehicle information includes, for example, not only position information from the GPS 24 mounted on the vehicle 2, information on power supply input to the external battery 21, and IGN input information from the traveling state identification line (ACC line, IG line) 22, but also Although not shown, information on the external relay 20 that controls the starting state of the vehicle 2, speed information, tachometer information, tachograph information, door lock information, immobilizer information, engine start button information, and taxi information. Information on the charge meter, information on the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal (including information on the opening of the throttle valve, etc .; the same applies hereinafter), electronic license plate information, information on the navigation system (eg position information or route information), Since the information of the on-vehicle storage means and other various information that can grasp the operating status of the vehicle are included, the income forecast The arithmetic unit 72, by using the vehicle information, it is possible to predict the income of the user.
　例えば、車両が運送用トラックのである場合には、車両の稼働時間が長いことは運送に係る受注が順調であることを示すため、車両の稼働時間をユーザの収入と関連する指標として収入を予測することができる。また、車両の稼働時間の全てが積み荷を運ぶための走行とは限らない。そこで、ＧＰＳによる位置情報やタコグラフの情報を併せて分析すれば、特定の配送ルートを把握でき、収入に結び付く車両の稼働状況を分析することが可能である。また、複数の車載器１から収集された車両情報を、車両やユーザの区分ごとに分析することにより、各車両のさまざま稼働状況の中から収入に結び付く車両の稼働状況をより適切に把握することができるようになる。なお、サーバ３は税金管理システム８１に接続されているため、ユーザの税金及び収入に関する情報を入手するできる場合もあり、これらの情報は収入予測部６１におけるユーザの収入予測に用いることもできる。例えば、サーバ３においては、過去の税金及び収入に関する情報は税金管理システム８１から入手可能である。 For example, if the vehicle is a truck for transportation, the long operating time of the vehicle indicates that the order for transportation is good, so the revenue is predicted using the operating time of the vehicle as an index related to the user's income. can do. In addition, not all the operating hours of the vehicle are traveling for carrying the load. Therefore, if the position information by GPS and the information of the tachograph are also analyzed together, it is possible to grasp the specific delivery route and analyze the operating status of the vehicle, which leads to income. Further, by analyzing the vehicle information collected from a plurality of vehicle-mounted devices 1 for each vehicle or user category, it is possible to more appropriately understand the operating status of the vehicle that leads to income from the various operating statuses of each vehicle. Will be able to. Since the server 3 is connected to the tax management system 81, it may be possible to obtain information about the user's taxes and income, and this information can also be used for the user's income prediction in the income prediction unit 61. For example, in the server 3, information regarding past taxes and income can be obtained from the tax management system 81.
　多数の車載器１からの膨大な車両情報を分析するためには、ＡＩを用いた機械学習を用いることも有用である。車両情報収集部３２において収集された車両情報と、これに関連したユーザの収入情報（例えば、過去の税金及び収入に関する情報は税金管理システム８１から入手可能である。）とにより、教師あり学習によってＡＩを学習することにより、収入予測部における収入情報の予測精度を向上すことが可能である。また、車両の車両情報とユーザとの収入との間には、車両２及びユーザのカテゴリーに応じて、さまざまな相関があり、統計分析が可能なものもある。これらの統計分析の結果をＡＩによる学習に利用することにより、より収入情報の予測精度を向上することができる。機械学習に使われるアルゴリズムとしては、例えばニューラルネットワークを用いることができ、特に、ディープラーニングを採用することも可能である。車両情報は時系列データであることから、例えば再帰型ニューラルネットワークを用いることができる。 It is also useful to use machine learning using AI in order to analyze a huge amount of vehicle information from many onboard devices 1. Based on the vehicle information collected by the vehicle information collection unit 32 and the user's income information related to the vehicle information (for example, information about past taxes and income can be obtained from the tax management system 81), learning with a teacher is performed. By learning the AI, it is possible to improve the accuracy of income information prediction in the income prediction unit. In addition, there are various correlations between the vehicle information of the vehicle and the income of the user, depending on the categories of the vehicle 2 and the user, and there are some that can be statistically analyzed. By utilizing the results of these statistical analyzes for learning by AI, the accuracy of income information prediction can be further improved. As an algorithm used for machine learning, for example, a neural network can be used, and in particular, deep learning can also be adopted. Since the vehicle information is time-series data, a recursive neural network can be used, for example.
　また、収入情報には、税金の計算に必要となる経費に関する情報も含まれる。ユーザの所得税は、収入情報に従って、経費情報も考慮されたうえで、演算される。ここでは、収入予測部６１が収入情報を演算するものとして説明したが、収入予測部６１が独立したものである必要はない。義務情報演算手段７１において、車両情報に基づく所得税演算を一体的に行うこと、例えば、車両情報に基づいてＡＩによる機械学習によって、所得税を演算するようにすることもできる。 -In addition, the income information also includes information on expenses required for tax calculation. The income tax of the user is calculated in accordance with the income information and also the expense information. Here, the income prediction unit 61 is described as calculating income information, but the income prediction unit 61 does not have to be independent. In the duty information calculation means 71, income tax calculation based on vehicle information may be integrally performed, for example, income tax may be calculated by machine learning by AI based on vehicle information.
　義務情報演算手段によって演算される税金は、所得税だけに限定されるものでは無い。例えば、自動車税、自動車取得税、自動車重量税等の車両２に関する税金も演算することが可能である。また、車両情報には例えばＧＰＳからの位置情報や経路情報、電子ナンバープレートからの登録情報等も含まれていることから、車両２の管理場所が把握できる。車両２に関する税金が地方税である場合には、自動車の登録場所ないし管理場所における税金が計算され、その税金の納付先も決定される。電子ナンバープレートの登録情報、車検情報等により車両２のカテゴリー、大きさ、重量、登録日、車両装備品、所有者及び使用者等の情報が把握されているため、自動車税、自動車取得税、自動車重量税等を正確に計算することができる。電子ナンバープレートの登録情報、車検情報等には、車両２の所有者、使用者、納税義務者等の情報、すなわちユーザの情報も含まれているため、常に車両２のユーザを正確に特定することが可能であり、税金額だけではなく、納税義務者を正確に把握することも可能である。また、車両２に関する税金を従量制とすること、すわなち、車両２の走行距離に応じた税額とすること等も可能となる。 The tax calculated by the obligation information calculation means is not limited to income tax. For example, it is possible to calculate taxes related to the vehicle 2, such as a vehicle tax, a vehicle acquisition tax, and a vehicle weight tax. Further, since the vehicle information includes, for example, position information and route information from GPS, registration information from an electronic license plate, etc., the management place of the vehicle 2 can be grasped. When the tax relating to the vehicle 2 is a local tax, the tax at the registration location or management location of the vehicle is calculated, and the tax payment destination is also determined. Vehicle tax, vehicle acquisition tax, because the information such as the category, size, weight, registration date, vehicle equipment, owner and user of the vehicle 2 is known from the registration information and vehicle inspection information of the electronic license plate. It is possible to accurately calculate automobile weight tax, etc. Since the registration information, vehicle inspection information, etc. of the electronic license plate also include information on the owner, user, taxpayer, etc. of the vehicle 2, that is, user information, the user of the vehicle 2 is always specified accurately. It is possible to grasp not only the tax amount but also the taxpayer. It is also possible to set the tax on the vehicle 2 to be a pay-as-you-go system, that is, to set the tax amount according to the mileage of the vehicle 2.
　サーバ３において、車両２のユーザの情報を把握できるため、例えばユーザに関する住民税等の計算をすることも可能である。さらに、サーバ３では、書類上の住所だけではなく、実際に、定常的に使用している駐車場の位置も把握できる。 Since the server 3 can grasp the information of the user of the vehicle 2, for example, it is possible to calculate the residence tax or the like regarding the user. Further, the server 3 can grasp not only the address on the document but also the position of the parking lot that is actually used regularly.
　さらに、法人が車両２を所有している場合には、車両２の車両情報から、法人税を予測することも可能である。例えば、法人がタクシー会社、運送会社等の場合には、車両２の車両情報から法人の売り上げが予想できるため、収入予測部６１においては法人の売り上げを予測し、この金額から法人税を演算することが可能である。なお、ここでは税金に関する演算に着目したが、サーバ３においては、法人が所有している各車両の車両情報を収集して把握することが可能である。このため、例えばタクシー会社においては、各車両のドライバーの売り上げを正確に把握することができ、これにより各ドライバーに対する適切な給与計算も可能となる。 Furthermore, if the corporation owns the vehicle 2, it is also possible to predict the corporate tax from the vehicle information of the vehicle 2. For example, when the corporation is a taxi company, a transportation company, etc., the sales of the corporation can be predicted from the vehicle information of the vehicle 2. Therefore, the income prediction unit 61 predicts the sales of the corporation and calculates the corporation tax from this amount. It is possible. It should be noted that although the focus is on the calculation related to taxes here, the server 3 can collect and grasp the vehicle information of each vehicle owned by the corporation. For this reason, for example, a taxi company can accurately grasp the sales of the driver of each vehicle, and accordingly, it becomes possible to calculate an appropriate salary for each driver.
　義務情報演算手段７１において演算された税金情報は、税金管理システム８１に提供される。税金管理システム８１においては、義務情報演算手段７１から提供された税金情報を用いて、納税義務者に対する課税管理を行う。納税管理システム８１において、義務情報演算手段７１から提供された税金情報を利用できる範囲は、車両２やユーザのカテゴリーによっても異なる。例えば、車両２がタクシー、運送用トラック、建設機械等である場合には、かなり正確にユーザの収入を予測できるため、ユーザの所得税を正確に演算できる。実際のユーザによる納税額と義務情報演算手段７１で演算された当該ユーザに対する税金の金額とが異なっている場合には、税金管理システム８１において納税義務者による納税に誤りがある可能性を把握することができる。例えば税務署の担当者は、税金管理システム８１を用いることにより、納税義務者にもかかわらず税金の納付がないことや、納税額に誤りの可能性があることを把握することができるため、必要に応じて当該納税義務者による税金の納付を再確認することが可能となる。さらに、必要な場合には適切に税務調査等を行うことができる。特に途上国において、政府が住民や法人ないし団体等の収入状況を把握しにくい状況にあっては、車両２が普及している状況を鑑みると、車載器１から収集した車両情報に基づく税金額の把握は、政府にとって極めて有用である。 The tax information calculated by the duty information calculation means 71 is provided to the tax management system 81. The tax management system 81 uses the tax information provided from the duty information calculation means 71 to perform taxation management for the taxpayer. In the tax payment management system 81, the range in which the tax information provided by the duty information calculation means 71 can be used varies depending on the vehicle 2 or the category of the user. For example, when the vehicle 2 is a taxi, a truck for transportation, a construction machine, or the like, the income of the user can be predicted fairly accurately, so that the income tax of the user can be accurately calculated. If the actual tax payment amount by the user and the tax amount calculated for the user by the obligation information calculation means 71 are different, the tax management system 81 grasps the possibility that the taxpayer has an error in the tax payment. be able to. For example, the person in charge of the tax office can use the tax management system 81 to know that the taxpayer has not paid the tax and that the tax payment amount may be incorrect. Accordingly, it becomes possible to reconfirm the tax payment by the taxpayer. Furthermore, it is possible to appropriately conduct tax examinations, etc., if necessary. Especially in developing countries, when it is difficult for the government to grasp the income situation of residents, corporations or groups, tax amount based on vehicle information collected from the vehicle-mounted device 1 is taken into consideration in consideration of the prevailing situation of the vehicle 2. Understanding is extremely useful to the government.
　ここでは義務情報演算手段７１が所得税の金額などを含む税金情報を演算するものとして説明したが、本実施形態はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば義務情報演算手段７１は、ユーザの収入情報を演算し、義務情報演算手段７１から税金管理システム８１へはこの収入情報を提供するようにしてもよく、この場合には税金管理システム８１において収入情報を基にユーザの所得税等の金額が演算される。また、税額演算の一部を義務情報演算手段７１において行うこととしもよく、この場合、サーバ３においては車載器１から収集した全ての車両情報を把握しているため、データに関する制約等がなく、より迅速な演算が可能となるケースがある。 Here, the duty information calculation means 71 has been described as calculating tax information including the amount of income tax, but the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the duty information calculation means 71 is the income information of the user. The income information may be provided from the duty information calculation means 71 to the tax management system 81. In this case, the tax management system 81 calculates the amount of income tax of the user based on the income information. To be done. Further, part of the tax amount calculation may be performed by the duty information calculation means 71. In this case, since the server 3 grasps all the vehicle information collected from the vehicle-mounted device 1, there are no restrictions on data. There are cases where more rapid calculations are possible.
　税金管理システム８１を用いることにより政府は課税管理を容易かつ的確に行うことができる。政府が管理する住民、法人ないし団体等の戸籍情報、住民情報、登記情報、所得情報、収入情報及び資産情報等と、税金管理システム８１とを連携させることにより、税金管理システム８１によって、住民、法人ないし団体等に関する全ての種類の税金を管理することができる。したがって、税金管理システム８１は、車両２のユーザの全ての税金を把握すると共に、納税の有無を含む税金納税情報を管理することができる。サーバ３は、税金管理システム８１に接続されているため、ユーザの納税の有無を含む税金納税情報を取得することができる。納税管理システム８１への接続の方式は、特に限定されているものではないが、例えば納税管理システム８１にＡＰＩ（アプリケーション・プログラミング・インタフェース、Application Programing Interface）を設けることもできる。また、サーバ３側にもＡＰＩを設けておく場合には、税金管理システム８１からだけではなく、保険管理システム８２、車検管理システム８３、車両規制データベース８４からもサーバ３で管理する情報、例えば車両情報、収入情報、税金情報を、ＡＰＩを介して取得することが可能である。 By using the tax management system 81, the government can easily and appropriately perform taxation management. By linking the tax management system 81 with family registration information, resident information, registration information, income information, income information, asset information, etc. of residents, corporations or groups managed by the government, the tax management system 81 enables the residents, It can manage all kinds of taxes related to corporations and groups. Therefore, the tax management system 81 can grasp all the taxes of the user of the vehicle 2 and manage the tax payment information including the presence or absence of tax payment. Since the server 3 is connected to the tax management system 81, it is possible to obtain tax payment information including the presence or absence of tax payment by the user. The method of connection to the tax payment management system 81 is not particularly limited, but for example, the tax payment management system 81 may be provided with an API (Application Programming Interface, Application Programming Interface). When the API is provided also on the server 3 side, information managed by the server 3 from not only the tax management system 81 but also the insurance management system 82, the vehicle inspection management system 83, and the vehicle regulation database 84, for example, the vehicle. Information, income information, and tax information can be acquired via the API.
　義務情報演算手段７１では、税金管理システム８１から取得した税金納付情報により、ユーザの納税の有無を把握することができる。政府としては、納税を適切に行っていないユーザに対して税金の適切な納付を促す仕組みがあると有効である。そこで、ユーザの納税がない場合には、車両２を起動不可能状態とすることが考えられる。これは、図３において、ステップＣ２の判断がノーの場合である。ただし、何の猶予もなく突然に車両２が使用できなくなると、交通手段や収入を得るための手段が使えなくなることになるため、ユーザにとって酷な状況が予想される。そこで、ステップＣ２における税金納付無しの判断にあたっては、車両２のユーザに対して、ユーザ端末３７を介して、事前に所定の期間内に所定の税金納付を行わないと車両２を起動不可状態にする旨の警告を行い、所定の期間待って、それでも税金の納付がない場合には、車両２を起動不可状態に切り替えるようにしてもよい。また、税金の滞納金額が少額にもかかわらず一律に車両２を起動不可状態とすると、ユーザにとっては酷な状況ともなるため、滞納額が所定の金額を超えている場合にのみ、車両２を起動不可状態とするようにしてもよい。車両２の起動可能状態ないし起動不可状態の切替制御は、遠隔制御指令３１からの遠隔制御指令として、送受信部３３及び無線通信ネットワーク３４を介して車載器１に送られ、後述のように車両２の起動状態が制御される。なお、税金管理システムにおける税金の支払いの確認に、金融システム３６のＡＰＩ３９(図１１参照。)を用いるようにしてもよい。 The duty information calculation unit 71 can grasp the presence or absence of tax payment by the user from the tax payment information acquired from the tax management system 81. It is effective for the government to have a system for promptly paying the tax appropriately to the user who has not paid the tax properly. Therefore, it is conceivable that the vehicle 2 is set in the unbootable state when the user does not pay the tax. This is the case when the determination in step C2 is no in FIG. However, if the vehicle 2 suddenly becomes unusable without any grace, the means of transportation and means for earning income will become unusable, and a severe situation for the user is expected. Therefore, when it is determined in step C2 that the tax is not paid, the vehicle 2 cannot be started unless the user of the vehicle 2 pays a predetermined tax in advance within a predetermined period via the user terminal 37. If the tax is still not paid, the vehicle 2 may be switched to the non-startable state. Further, if the vehicle 2 cannot be activated even if the tax delinquent amount is small, it will be a terrible situation for the user. Therefore, only when the delinquent amount exceeds the predetermined amount, the vehicle 2 is not activated. You may make it a non-startable state. The switching control of the startable state or the non-startable state of the vehicle 2 is sent as a remote control command from the remote control command 31 to the vehicle-mounted device 1 via the transmission / reception unit 33 and the wireless communication network 34, and the vehicle 2 will be described later. The startup state of is controlled. Note that the API 39 (see FIG. 11) of the financial system 36 may be used to confirm the tax payment in the tax management system.
　図３では、ステップＣ２でイエスの場合には、ステップＣ３の保険料の判定を行うものとして説明されているが、これは単なる例示であり、各ステップの判断は、単独の判断であっても、あるいは、任意の２以上の判断であってもよく、さらには、この判断の順序は任意である。例えば、ステップＣ２の税金納付の判断だけで、イエスの場合にはステップＣ６へ進み、車両２を起動可能状態とし、ノーの場合にはステップＣ７へ進み、車両２を起動不可能状態としてもよい。また、２つの判断を行う例としては、ステップＣ２の税金納付についてのイエスの判定の後に、ステップＣ４へ進み、車検が有効であるか否かを判断し、イエスの場合には、ステップＣ６へ進み、車両２を起動可能状態とし、ステップＣ２でノーの場合あるいはステップＣ４でノーの場合には、ステップＣ７へ進み、車両２を起動不可能状態としてもよい。さらに、ここでは４種類の判定を例示したが、これ以外の判定を追加することもでき、例えば、車両２をリースする場合においては、リース料金の支払いの有無に関する判定を加えること（後述の実施形態２を参照）、また、例えば、車両２をレンタルする場合においては、レンタル料金の支払いの有無に関する判定を加えること、また、例えば、車両２をカーシェアリングする場合においては、車両利用料金の支払いの有無に関す判定を加えること等も可能である。 In FIG. 3, if YES in step C2, it is described that the insurance premium is determined in step C3, but this is merely an example, and the determination in each step may be a single determination. Alternatively, any two or more judgments may be made, and the order of this judgment is arbitrary. For example, if the tax payment is determined only in step C2, if yes, the process proceeds to step C6 to set the vehicle 2 in a startable state, and if not, the process proceeds to step C7 to set the vehicle 2 in a non-startable state. . In addition, as an example of making two determinations, after determining YES in step C2 regarding tax payment, the process proceeds to step C4 to determine whether the vehicle inspection is valid, and if YES, to step C6. If the vehicle 2 is ready to be started and the answer is NO in step C2 or the answer is NO in step C4, the process may proceed to step C7 to make the vehicle 2 unbootable. Furthermore, although four types of determinations are illustrated here, determinations other than this can be added. For example, in the case of leasing the vehicle 2, a determination regarding whether or not to pay the lease fee should be added (implementation described later. For example, in the case of renting the vehicle 2, a determination as to whether or not to pay the rental fee is added, and, for example, in the case of car-sharing the vehicle 2, payment of the vehicle usage fee is performed. It is also possible to add a determination regarding the presence or absence of.
　前述の収入予測部６１においては、車両２及びユーザのカテゴリーに応じて、さまざまな予測手法が採用されるところ、次に、この予測手法を（イ）～（ホ）に例示する。また、前述のようにこれらの予測手法に対して機械学習を適用することにより、より正確な収入情報の予測が可能となる。 In the above-described income prediction unit 61, various prediction methods are adopted according to the category of the vehicle 2 and the user. Next, this prediction method is illustrated in (a) to (e). Further, as described above, by applying machine learning to these prediction methods, more accurate prediction of income information becomes possible.
（イ）個人タクシーの例
　車両が個人タクシーである場合には、賃走の区間が長い程、ユーザの収入が多いことが予想できる。例えば、タクシーメータが、「空車」「賃走」「回送」「迎車」の４種類からなる場合を説明するが、本発明はタクシーメータの形式を限定するものではなく、「賃走」に相当する区間を把握できるものであれば、どのような車両情報を用いてもかまわない。ここで各メータの表示と、収入の状態は次のとおりである。「空車」は、乗客を乗せていない場合であって、乗車が可能な状態である。この状態では収入は見込めない。「賃走」は、乗客を乗せて走っている状態で、収入が発生している状態である。この賃走の区間が長い程、収入が高くなる。「回送」は、運転手の仕事終わり車庫に帰る時や、休憩の時等で乗客を乗せられない状態である。この状態では収入は見込めない。「迎車」は予約の乗客を迎えに行くときであり、課金が可能であるため、収入が発生している状態である。賃走及び迎車の状態の走行時間及び走行距離を算出することにより、ユーザの収入を予測することが可能である。 (A) Example of individual taxi When the vehicle is an individual taxi, it can be expected that the longer the fare section is, the more the user's income is. For example, a case where the taxi meter is composed of four types of "empty car", "fare", "forwarding", and "pick-up vehicle" will be described, but the present invention does not limit the format of the taxi meter and corresponds to "fare". Any vehicle information may be used as long as it can grasp the section to be used. Here, the display of each meter and the state of income are as follows. "Empty vehicle" is a state in which no passengers are on board and the passengers are allowed to board. No income can be expected in this state. “Rent” is a state in which income is generated while passengers are running. The longer the fare section, the higher the income. The "forwarding" is a state in which passengers cannot be loaded when returning to the garage after the driver's work or when taking a break. No income can be expected in this state. The “pick-up” is when the reserved passengers are picked up, and since the billing is possible, the income is generated. It is possible to predict the user's income by calculating the traveling time and the traveling distance in the state of renting and waiting.
　また、より正確にユーザの収入を予測するためには、例えば、
・走行距離に対する空車率や賃走率を求めて、効率よく収入を得ることができているかを把握すること、
・営業運転状態（空車、賃走、迎車）の走行距離及び走行時間から、労働時間を把握すること、
・ＧＰＳの位置情報、速度情報、タコメータの情報、タコグラフの情報、アクセルペダルの踏み込み量の情報等を用いて、燃費を計算することにより経費を予測すること、
・ＧＰＳの位置情報、速度情報、タコメータの情報、タコグラフの情報等を用いて、ユーザが走行している地域の需要を予測すること、
等も可能である。 In order to more accurately predict the user's income, for example,
・ By obtaining the vacancy rate and rent rate with respect to the mileage, to understand whether you can earn income efficiently,
・ Understanding working hours from the mileage and hours of business operation (empty car, rent, pick-up),
-Predicting expenses by calculating fuel consumption using GPS position information, speed information, tachometer information, tachograph information, accelerator pedal depression amount information, etc.
Predicting the demand in the area where the user is traveling, using GPS position information, speed information, tachometer information, tachograph information, etc.
Etc. are also possible.
（ロ）運送用トラックの例
　車両が運送用トラックである場合には、走行距離が長い方が輸送用トラックにより積み荷を搬送している区間が長いこと、すなわち、運送に係る受注が順調であることを示すため、走行距離は収入を予測する指標となる。また、ユーザが複数台の運送用トラックを所有する運送会社の場合には、各車両の稼働状況を把握することにより、ユーザの全体の収入を予測することができる。より正確にユーザの収入を予測するためには、例えば、
・走行距離や走行時間から、車両の稼働率を把握すること、
・ＧＰＳの位置情報を用いて、特定の配送ルートを運行しているかどうかを把握すること、
・ＧＰＳの位置情報、速度情報、タコメータの情報、タコグラフの情報、アクセルペダルの踏み込み量の情報等から、積み荷の状況、積み荷の量、積み荷の有無等を把握すること、
・ＧＰＳの位置情報、速度情報、タコメータの情報、タコグラフの情報、アクセルペダルの踏み込み量の情報等から、積み荷の状況を推定し、走行距離に占める積み荷の積載区間、あるいは、積み荷の積載率を把握すること、
・ＧＰＳの位置情報、速度情報、タコメータの情報、タコグラフの情報、アクセルペダルの踏み込み量の情報等を用いて、燃費を計算することにより経費を予測すること、
等も可能である。 (B) Examples of transportation trucks If the vehicle is a transportation truck, the longer the mileage is, the longer the section in which the cargo is transported by the transportation truck, that is, the order for transportation is favorable. To show that, mileage is an index for predicting income. Further, in the case of a transportation company in which the user owns a plurality of transportation trucks, it is possible to predict the total income of the user by grasping the operating status of each vehicle. To more accurately predict user revenue, for example,
・ Understand the operating rate of the vehicle from the distance traveled and the time traveled,
-To know whether or not a specific delivery route is operated using GPS position information,
-To grasp the status of cargo, quantity of cargo, presence of cargo, etc. from GPS position information, speed information, tachometer information, tachograph information, accelerator pedal depression information, etc.
-Estimate the status of the load from GPS position information, speed information, tachometer information, tachograph information, accelerator pedal depression amount information, etc. To grasp,
-Predicting expenses by calculating fuel consumption using GPS position information, speed information, tachometer information, tachograph information, accelerator pedal depression amount information, etc.
Etc. are also possible.
（ハ）建設機械の例
　車両がショベルカーやクレーン車等の建設機械の場合には、車両の稼働時間は車両が所定の作業のために利用されている期間を示すため、車両の稼働時間はユーザの収入を予測する指標となる。また、ユーザが複数の建設機械を所有する会社である場合には、各建設機械の稼働状況を把握することにより、ユーザの全体の収入を予測することができる。より正確に収入を予測するためには、例えば
・ＧＰＳの位置情報、速度情報、タコメータの情報、タコグラフの情報等から、待機位置から作業現場までの移動距離を把握すること、
・建設機械のアワーメーター情報、ＩＧＮ入力情報、エンジンスタートボタンの情報等から、特定の作業現場における作業期間や作業内容を把握すること、
・建設機械のアワーメーター情報、ＩＧＮ入力情報、エンジンスタートボタンの情報、燃料計情報等を用いて、燃費を計算することにより経費を予測すること、
等も可能である。 (C) Example of construction machine When the vehicle is a construction machine such as a shovel car or a crane truck, the operating time of the vehicle indicates the period in which the vehicle is used for a predetermined work. It is an index for predicting user income. Further, when the user is a company that owns a plurality of construction machines, it is possible to predict the total income of the user by grasping the operating status of each construction machine. In order to predict income more accurately, for example, ・ From the GPS position information, speed information, tachometer information, tachograph information, etc., grasp the movement distance from the standby position to the work site,
・ Understanding the work period and work content at a specific work site from the hour meter information of construction machinery, IGN input information, engine start button information, etc.
・ Predict costs by calculating fuel consumption using hour meter information of construction machinery, IGN input information, engine start button information, fuel gauge information, etc.
Etc. are also possible.
（ニ）通勤のために車両を利用する例
　車両を通勤に利用しているユーザは、車両の稼働状況から通勤しているかどうかを判断できるため、車両の稼働状況はユーザの収入を予測する指標となる。ユーザは通勤以外にも車両を利用することもあるため、ユーザの収入をより正確に予測するためには、車両が通勤に利用されている状況を把握する必要がある。例えばＧＰＳの位置情報を用いれば、特定の駐車場から、出勤に関連する所定の場所（例えば職場の駐車場）までの車両の移動が出勤に関連するものであると把握することができる。 (D) Example of using a vehicle for commuting A user who is commuting to a vehicle can determine whether or not he / she is commuting based on the operating status of the vehicle, so the operating status of the vehicle is an index for predicting the user's income. Becomes Since the user may use the vehicle in addition to commuting, it is necessary to grasp the situation in which the vehicle is used for commuting in order to more accurately predict the income of the user. For example, if the position information of GPS is used, it can be understood that the movement of the vehicle from a specific parking lot to a predetermined place related to attendance (for example, a parking lot at work) is related to attendance.
（ホ）営業用車両の例
　車両が営業用車両の場合には、車両は専ら営業活動のために利用され、車両の稼働状況から営業活動の状況を判断できるため、車両の稼働状況はユーザの収入を予測する指標となる。また、例えばＧＰＳの位置情報を用いれば、営業活動を行っている地域や範囲を特定することもできるため、営業活動の状況をより正確に把握することも可能である。 (E) Example of business vehicle When the vehicle is a business vehicle, the vehicle is used exclusively for business activities and the operating status of the vehicle can be determined from the operating status of the vehicle. It is an index to predict income. Further, for example, by using the position information of GPS, it is possible to specify the area or range in which the business activity is performed, so that the situation of the business activity can be grasped more accurately.
　ここでは義務情報演算手段７１が収入予測部６１を備える場合の例を説明したが、本実施形態はこれに限定されるものではなく、必ずしも収入予測部６１を有する必要はない。例えば、車両情報収集部３２で収集された車両情報を用いて、義務情報演算手段により義務情報を演算することも可能である。例えば上記（イ）の車両が個人タクシーである場合には、賃走の区間の長さがほぼユーザの収入を決定づけるため、賃走の合計距離データ等の車両情報から収入情報ないし税金情報を演算することができる。また、上記（ロ）の車両が運送用トラックである場合には、積み荷を積んで走行している走行距離等の車両情報から直接収入情報ないし税金情報を演算することができる。 Here, an example in which the duty information calculation unit 71 includes the income prediction unit 61 has been described, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the income prediction unit 61 does not necessarily have to be included. For example, the obligation information can be calculated by the obligation information calculation means using the vehicle information collected by the vehicle information collecting unit 32. For example, if the vehicle in (a) above is an individual taxi, the length of the fare section determines the user's income, so income information or tax information is calculated from vehicle information such as total mileage data. can do. If the vehicle (b) is a transportation truck, income information or tax information can be calculated directly from vehicle information such as the distance traveled with the cargo loaded.
　また、税金管理システムにおいて税金額を演算する場合においては、税金管理システム８１に対して、サーバ３から収入情報ないし税金情報だけではなく、車両情報収集部３２で収集された車両情報を提供することも可能である。あるいは、税金管理システム８１において税金額を演算する場合においては、税金管理システム８１に対して、サーバ３から車両情報収集部３２で収集された車両情報だけを提供することも可能である。さらに、税金管理システム８１に対して、サーバ３からは情報提供を行わない場合もあり得るが、この場合、税金管理システムにおいて、ユーザの収入情報ないし税金情報の演算が行われる。すなわち、税金管理システム８１においてユーザの税金納付情報が適切に把握できている場合においては、サーバ３から税金管理システム８１の対しての情報提供は必須ではない。一方、税金管理システム８１からサーバ３に対しては、ユーザの税金の支払いの有無を含む税金納付情報が提供される。そして、例えばこの税金管理システム８１からサーバ３に対しての税金納付情報の提供がＡＰＩ連携により行われる場合には、サーバ３における義務情報演算手段７１において、迅速に納税の有無を判断することができるため、税金納付に伴う車両２の起動可能状態への切替制御を迅速に実施することが可能となる。 Further, when calculating the tax amount in the tax management system, not only the income information or the tax information from the server 3 but also the vehicle information collected by the vehicle information collection unit 32 is provided to the tax management system 81. Is also possible. Alternatively, when the tax amount is calculated in the tax management system 81, it is possible to provide the tax management system 81 with only the vehicle information collected by the vehicle information collection unit 32 from the server 3. Further, although there is a case where the server 3 does not provide information to the tax management system 81, in this case, income information or tax information of the user is calculated in the tax management system. That is, when the tax management system 81 can properly grasp the tax payment information of the user, the information provision from the server 3 to the tax management system 81 is not essential. On the other hand, the tax management system 81 provides the server 3 with tax payment information including whether or not the user pays tax. Then, for example, when the tax payment information is provided from the tax management system 81 to the server 3 through API cooperation, the duty information calculation means 71 in the server 3 can promptly determine the presence or absence of tax payment. Therefore, it is possible to promptly perform the switching control to the startable state of the vehicle 2 due to the tax payment.
［保険料に関するの演算］
　ステップＣ３では、義務情報演算手段７１においてユーザに対する車両２の保険情報が演算され、この保険情報が保険管理システム８２に提供される。保険情報としては、保険料に関する情報を含めることができる。車両２に関する保険には法令により強制的に加入が義務付けられるものと、任意加入のものとに分けられる。例えば、日本では、自賠責保険への加入が義務付けられており、さらに、任意保険への加入も推奨されている。例えば、途上国においても車両２に関する保険を義務付けている場合が多く、この場合、保険に未加入である車両２が運行されると、事故が起こった場合に被害者への補償がなされないおそれがあるため、保険に未加入の車両の運行を禁じることが望ましい。このような観点から、車両２に関する強制保険の保険料が納付されているかどうか、義務情報演算手段により判断し、所定の保険料が納付されていない場合には、遠隔制御指令部３１から車載器１に車両２を起動不可状態に切り替えるための遠隔制御指令を送信する必要がある。また、義務情報演算手段においては、任意保険の保険料金を含む保険情報を演算することも可能である。なお、強制的に加入が義務付けられる保険の範囲については、政府の定め、ないし、法令の定めによる。また、車両２についての保険は、車両２に掛けられる場合もあるが、車両２のユーザに掛けられる場合や、車両２とユーザ（運転者）との組み合わせに対して掛けられる場合もある。サーバ３においては、車両２の車両情報、及び、後述のユーザ情報管理部３８によるユーザ情報との両方を把握しているため、車両２に関する保険情報を適切に管理することが可能である。 [Calculation of insurance fee]
In step C3, the obligation information calculation means 71 calculates insurance information of the vehicle 2 for the user, and the insurance information is provided to the insurance management system 82. The insurance information can include information on insurance premiums. The insurance for the vehicle 2 is classified into those compulsorily required to join the insurance by law and those for voluntary joining. For example, in Japan, it is compulsory to take out liability insurance, and it is also recommended to take out voluntary insurance. For example, even in developing countries, it is often the case that the insurance for the vehicle 2 is obligatory. In this case, if the vehicle 2 which is not covered by insurance is operated, the victim may not be compensated in case of an accident. Therefore, it is desirable to prohibit the operation of vehicles not covered by insurance. From this point of view, it is judged by the obligation information calculation means whether or not the compulsory insurance premium for the vehicle 2 has been paid. If the predetermined insurance premium has not been paid, the remote control command section 31 causes the vehicle-mounted device to be mounted. It is necessary to transmit a remote control command for switching the vehicle 2 to the non-startable state to the vehicle 1. Further, the obligation information calculation means can also calculate insurance information including the insurance charge of voluntary insurance. The scope of insurance compulsory to join is determined by the government or by law. The insurance for the vehicle 2 may be applied to the vehicle 2, but may be applied to the user of the vehicle 2 or the combination of the vehicle 2 and the user (driver). Since the server 3 knows both the vehicle information of the vehicle 2 and the user information by the user information management unit 38 described later, it is possible to appropriately manage the insurance information about the vehicle 2.
　そして、義務情報演算手段７１は、車両情報収集部３２で収集された車両情報を把握することができるため、この車両情報を利用したきめ細やかな保険料演算が可能となり、これにより、車両２のカテゴリーやユーザの使用状況に適した保険の設定が可能となる。保険料の演算に当たっては、例えば次のような情報を参酌することができる。
・車両のカテゴリー（車種、車両の大きさ、重量、用途）
・走行距離、走行時間
・走行速度、制限速度
・加速度
・位置情報、走行経路、走行時間帯 Since the duty information calculation means 71 can grasp the vehicle information collected by the vehicle information collection unit 32, it is possible to perform a detailed insurance premium calculation using this vehicle information. It is possible to set insurance suitable for the category and the usage status of the user. In calculating the insurance premium, for example, the following information can be taken into consideration.
・ Vehicle category (vehicle type, vehicle size, weight, application)
・ Distance, time / speed, speed limit / acceleration / position information, route, time zone
　車両のカテゴリーに応じた保険料を設定することができる。例えば、車種、車両の大きさ、重量、用途に応じて、保険料を設定することができる。例えば、小型車と大型車とでは保険料の設定が異なり、また、自家用車、タクシー、配送用車両及び建築機械等の用途の違いによっても保険料の設定は異なる。 You can set insurance premiums according to the vehicle category. For example, the insurance premium can be set according to the type of vehicle, the size, weight, and application of the vehicle. For example, the insurance premium setting differs between a small car and a large car, and the insurance premium setting also differs depending on the use of a private car, taxi, delivery vehicle, construction machine, or the like.
　走行距離や走行時間によっても保険料の設定は異なる。例えば、車両２の走行距離や走行時間が大きくなるほど、事故のリスクは高まるため、所定の期間における走行距離や走行時間を特定して保険料を設定しておくことができる。車両２の走行距離や走行時間は車両情報として収集されているので、所定の期間における当該車両の走行距離や走行時間は予想できる。ただし、納車時にはまだ走行距離や走行時間等は収集されていないため、ユーザが見込みの走行距離や走行時間を設定する必要がある。所定の期間における走行距離や走行時間が予め設定した範囲を超えそうな場合には、予めユーザ端末３７を介してユーザに報知して、追加の保険料の支払いをユーザに促し、あるいは、保険の契約によっては自動的にユーザに追加の保険料の支払いを求める。 The insurance premium setting varies depending on the distance and time traveled. For example, the risk of an accident increases as the traveling distance and traveling time of the vehicle 2 increase, and thus the insurance premium can be set by specifying the traveling distance and traveling time in a predetermined period. Since the traveling distance and traveling time of the vehicle 2 are collected as vehicle information, the traveling distance and traveling time of the vehicle in a predetermined period can be predicted. However, since the traveling distance and traveling time have not been collected at the time of delivery, it is necessary for the user to set the expected traveling distance and traveling time. When the mileage or the traveling time in a predetermined period is likely to exceed a preset range, the user is notified in advance via the user terminal 37 to prompt the user to pay an additional insurance premium, or Some contracts automatically require users to pay additional premiums.
　走行速度及び制限速度の情報を保険料に反映することも可能である。制限速度の情報は例えばナビゲーションシステムの地図情報、道路に設置されたビーコン等からの情報、あるいは、道路交通情報通信システム（Vehicle Information and Communication System、VICS（登録商標））等に含まれている。この制限速度と車両２の速度とを対比することにより、車両２のユーザが制限速度をどの程度守っているかを把握することができる。例えば、制限速度を遵守しているユーザは、制限速度を守っていないユーザよりも、安全運転を行っていると判断し、安全運転を行っているユーザ（そのユーザに係る車両２）の保険料を割り引くことが可能である。一方、速度順守の観点から危険運転であると判断されたユーザの保険料は割増しにすることも考えらえられる。この時の保険料の割引額ないし割増額は、どの程度制限速度を遵守しているかという程度を、車両情報、例えば、制限速度及び走行速度から段階的に、あるいは、一定の数式により定量化することによって決定することができる。 -It is also possible to reflect the information on the traveling speed and the speed limit in the insurance premium. The information on the speed limit is included in, for example, map information of a navigation system, information from a beacon or the like installed on a road, or a road traffic information communication system (Vehicle Information and Communication System, VICS (registered trademark)) or the like. By comparing this speed limit and the speed of the vehicle 2, it is possible to grasp how much the user of the vehicle 2 is keeping the speed limit. For example, a user who adheres to the speed limit determines that he / she is driving safely than a user who does not adhere to the speed limit, and the insurance premium of the user (vehicle 2 related to the user) who is driving safely. Can be discounted. On the other hand, it is conceivable that the premium of the user judged to be a dangerous driving may be increased from the viewpoint of speed compliance. At this time, the discount amount or the premium amount of the insurance premium quantifies the extent to which the speed limit is complied with from the vehicle information, for example, the speed limit and the traveling speed stepwise or by a certain mathematical formula. Can be determined by:
　車両の加速度情報から、ユーザの運転の特性を推定し、安全運転かどうかを判断することができる。急加速、急減速、急ハンドルが少ないユーザは、これが多いユーザよりも安全運運転であると判断することができ、この判断により安全運転を行っているユーザ（そのユーザに係る車両２）の保険料を割り引くことが可能である。一方、急加速、急減速、急ハンドルの観点から危険運転であると判断されたユーザの保険料は割増しにすることも考えらえられる。この時の保険料の割引額ないし割増額は、どの程度の急加速、急減速、急ハンドルが検出されたかという程度を、車両情報、例えば、車両２の加速度、あるいは、アクセルセンサ、ブレーキセンサ、ステアリングセンサ等から段階的に、あるいは、一定の数式により定量化することによって決定することができる。  It is possible to estimate the driving characteristics of the user from the acceleration information of the vehicle and judge whether it is safe driving. A user who has less sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, or sudden steering can determine that driving is safer than a user who has much of this, and the insurance of the user (vehicle 2 related to that user) performing safe driving can be determined based on this determination. It is possible to discount the fee. On the other hand, it is conceivable that the premium of the user judged to be dangerous driving may be increased from the viewpoint of sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, and sudden steering. At this time, the discount amount or the premium amount of the insurance premium is based on the extent to which the rapid acceleration, the rapid deceleration, and the sudden steering wheel are detected, the vehicle information, for example, the acceleration of the vehicle 2, the accelerator sensor, the brake sensor, It can be determined stepwise from a steering sensor or the like, or by quantifying with a certain mathematical formula.
　車両２の位置情報、走行経路、及び、走行時間帯から、事故のリスクを推定して、保険料に反映させることもできる。位置情報、走行経路、及び、走行時間帯等からは、車両２が市街地にいるのか郊外にいるのか、車両２が交通量の多い道路を走行しているかどうか、事故の発生確率が高い状況にあるかどうか等を推定し、事故のリスクを段階的に、あるいは、一定の数式により定量化して、保険料の割引額ないし割増額を計算することができる。 The risk of an accident can be estimated from the location information of the vehicle 2, the travel route, and the travel time zone, and reflected in the insurance premium. From the location information, travel route, travel time, etc., it is determined whether the vehicle 2 is in the city or in the suburbs, whether the vehicle 2 is traveling on a road with a lot of traffic, and the probability of occurrence of an accident is high. It is possible to calculate the discount amount or premium amount of the insurance premium by estimating whether or not there is the risk, and quantifying the risk of the accident stepwise or by a certain mathematical formula.
　義務情報演算手段７１において演算された保険情報は保険管理システム８２に提供される。保険情報としては、車両２ないしユーザに関する保険料の情報を含むものとすることができるが、これに限らず、保険料の情報までは含まず、保険情報として保険料を演算するための車両情報を含むようにすることができ、保険情報として車両情報を保険管理システム８２に提供する場合には、保険管理システム８２において車両２ないしユーザに対する保険料を含む保険情報が演算される。保険料を含む保険情報はユーザ端末３７を介してユーザに提供される。保険料の中、加入が法令で義務図けられている強制保険については、ユーザ端末３７を介して必ずユーザに加入するように報知される。例えば、日本においては、自賠責保険は車検の際に強制加入されるため、後述の車検の有効期限と共に、強制保険の加入がユーザ端末３７によって報知されるようにしてもよい。 The insurance information calculated by the obligation information calculation means 71 is provided to the insurance management system 82. The insurance information may include information on insurance premiums related to the vehicle 2 or the user, but is not limited to this and does not include information on insurance premiums, but includes vehicle information for calculating insurance premiums as insurance information. When the vehicle information is provided to the insurance management system 82 as the insurance information, the insurance management system 82 calculates the insurance information including the insurance premium for the vehicle 2 or the user. The insurance information including the insurance premium is provided to the user via the user terminal 37. For compulsory insurance, which is required by law to join the insurance, the user terminal 37 is informed that the user must join the insurance. For example, in Japan, liability insurance is forcibly enrolled at the time of vehicle inspection. Therefore, the compulsory insurance enrollment may be notified by the user terminal 37 together with the expiration date of vehicle inspection described below.
　ユーザにより強制保険の保険料が適正に支払われたかどうかは保険管理システム８２により把握される。例えば保険管理システム８２は、金融システム３６のＡＰＩを利用して、ユーザにより保険料金が支払われたことをリアルタイムで把握することができる。義務情報演算手段７１においては、保険管理システム８２から保険料納付情報を受信し、車両２ないしユーザが強制保険の保険料を支払っているかどうか、すなわち、強制保険に加入しているか否かを判定し、強制保険に加入していない場合（図３のステップＣ３においてノーの場合）には、該当するユーザによる車両２の利用を禁止するために、遠隔制御指示部３１から、車載器１に対して該当車両２を起動不可状態に切り替えるための遠隔制御指令を送信する。一方、強制保険に加入している場合、すなわち、図２のステップＣ３においてイエスの場合には、他に必要な条件の判断を行う。なお、上述のステップＣ２の税金に関する判定の場合と同様に、ステップＣ３の保険に関する判断だけを単独で行い、イエスの場合には車両２を起動可能状態に制御し、ノーの場合には車両２を起動不可状態に制御するようにしてもよい。また、車両の起動状態の制御に際し、ステップＣ３の保険に関する判定に加えて、他の１又は複数の判定を加えてもよい。ただし、何の猶予もなく突然に車両２が使用できなくなると、交通手段や収入を得るための手段が使えなくなることになるため、ユーザにとって酷な状況が予想される。そこで、ステップＣ３における税金納付無しの判断にあたっては、車両２のユーザに対して、ユーザ端末３７を介して、事前に所定の期間内に所定の保険料を行わないと車両２を起動不可状態にする旨の警告を行い、所定の期間待って、それでも保険料の納付がない場合には、車両２を起動不可状態に切り替えるようにしてもよい。 The insurance management system 82 determines whether or not the user has properly paid the compulsory insurance premium. For example, the insurance management system 82 can use the API of the financial system 36 to know in real time that the insurance fee has been paid by the user. The obligation information calculation means 71 receives the insurance premium payment information from the insurance management system 82, and determines whether the vehicle 2 or the user has paid the insurance premium of the compulsory insurance, that is, whether or not the compulsory insurance is subscribed. However, when the compulsory insurance is not taken out (No in step C3 of FIG. 3), the remote control instructing unit 31 instructs the vehicle-mounted device 1 to prohibit the use of the vehicle 2 by the corresponding user. Then, a remote control command for switching the vehicle 2 to the non-startable state is transmitted. On the other hand, in the case where the member has the compulsory insurance, that is, in the case of YES in step C3 of FIG. 2, determination of other necessary conditions is performed. As in the case of the tax determination in step C2, only the insurance determination in step C3 is independently performed. If the determination is yes, the vehicle 2 is controlled to be in the startable state, and if the determination is no, the vehicle 2 is activated. May be controlled to a non-startable state. Further, when controlling the activation state of the vehicle, one or more other determinations may be added in addition to the insurance determination in step C3. However, if the vehicle 2 suddenly becomes unusable without any grace, the means of transportation and means for earning income will become unusable, and a severe situation for the user is expected. Therefore, when it is determined that the tax is not paid in step C3, the vehicle 2 cannot be started unless the user of the vehicle 2 receives a predetermined insurance premium within a predetermined period in advance via the user terminal 37. It is also possible to give a warning to that effect, wait for a predetermined period, and if the insurance premium is still not paid, switch the vehicle 2 to the non-startable state.
　任意保険の保険料についても、上述のとおり車両情報を用いて、義務情報演算手段７１又は保険管理システム８２において演算することが可能である。義務情報演算手段７１において任意保険の保険料を含む保険情報が演算される場合においては、その保険情報は保険管理システム及びユーザ端末３７に送信され、ユーザに対して推奨される任意保険への加入を促すことができる。保険管理システム８２において任意保険の保険料を含む保険情報が演算される場合には、この保険情報はサーバ３を介してユーザ端末３７に送信され、ユーザに対して推奨される任意保険への加入を促すことができる。保険管理システム８２はユーザにより任意保険の保険料が支払われたかどうかを把握することができる。また、任意保険への加入の可否の情報についても、サーバ３に提供されるようにしてもよい。ただし、任意保険の保険料が支払われない場合には、強制保険の場合とは異なり、車両２を起動不可状態へ切り替える遠隔制御指令を送信することは行わない。 The insurance premium for voluntary insurance can also be calculated by the obligation information calculation means 71 or the insurance management system 82 using the vehicle information as described above. When the obligation information calculation means 71 calculates insurance information including the insurance premium of voluntary insurance, the insurance information is transmitted to the insurance management system and the user terminal 37, and participation in voluntary insurance recommended for the user. Can be encouraged. When the insurance management system 82 calculates the insurance information including the insurance premium of the voluntary insurance, this insurance information is transmitted to the user terminal 37 via the server 3 and joins the voluntary insurance recommended to the user. Can be encouraged. The insurance management system 82 can grasp whether or not the user has paid the premium of the voluntary insurance. Also, information on whether or not to join the voluntary insurance may be provided to the server 3. However, when the insurance premium of the voluntary insurance is not paid, unlike the case of the compulsory insurance, the remote control command for switching the vehicle 2 to the non-startable state is not transmitted.
［車検に関する判定］
　図３のステップＣ４では、義務情報演算手段７１において車検が有効であるか否かを判定し、車検が有効であるか否かを判定し、車検が有効でない場合には、ノーの判定となり、ステップＣ７で、遠隔制御指令部３１から車両２を起動不能状態に切り替えるための遠隔制御指令が送信される。また、ステップＣ４でイエスの場合には、他の条件の判定を行う。なお、上述のステップＣ２の税金に関する判定の場合と同様に、ステップＣ４の車検に関する判断だけを単独で行うようにしてもよい。また、車両２の車検の判定に加え、他の１又は複数の判定を加えてもよい。法令によって車検が義務付けられている場合には、車両２のユーザに車両２の車検を受けることを促すことが必要である。義務情報演算手段７１において、車検の有効性を判断し、車検が有効でない場合に、当該車両を起動不能状態に切り替えるようにすると、車両２を利用したいユーザに対して、車検を受けるように促すことができる。一方、予告なしに車両２が起動不能状態に制御されてしまうと、ユーザにとっては酷な状況ともなるため、車両２を起動不可状態に切り替える前には事前に車検を受ける期限を所定期間前にユーザ端末３７を介してユーザに報知し、期限までにユーザが車両２の車検を受けるように促すようにする。また、車検の期限が切れた場合には、車両２は起動不可状態となるが、車検を受けるための移動及び車検のための走行試験に際しては、ユーザ端末３７からサーバ３への申請によって、あるいは、ユーザから管理者（管理者端末３５）への申請によって、一時的に車両２を起動可能状態に切り替えることにより、車検を受けることが可能となる。 [Judgment regarding vehicle inspection]
In step C4 of FIG. 3, the duty information calculation means 71 determines whether the vehicle inspection is valid, determines whether the vehicle inspection is valid, and if the vehicle inspection is not valid, the determination is no. In step C7, the remote control command unit 31 transmits a remote control command for switching the vehicle 2 to the unbootable state. If YES in step C4, other conditions are determined. As in the case of the tax determination in step C2, only the vehicle inspection determination in step C4 may be performed independently. In addition to the vehicle inspection determination of the vehicle 2, one or more other determinations may be added. When the vehicle inspection is obligatory by law, it is necessary to urge the user of the vehicle 2 to undergo the vehicle inspection. The duty information calculation means 71 determines the validity of the vehicle inspection, and when the vehicle inspection is not effective, if the vehicle is switched to the inoperable state, the user who wants to use the vehicle 2 is prompted to receive the vehicle inspection. be able to. On the other hand, if the vehicle 2 is controlled to be in the inoperable state without any notice, it may be a terrible situation for the user. The user is notified via the user terminal 37, and the user is urged to undergo the vehicle inspection of the vehicle 2 by the deadline. Further, when the vehicle inspection expires, the vehicle 2 is in a non-startable state, but when traveling to receive the vehicle inspection and the running test for the vehicle inspection, an application from the user terminal 37 to the server 3 or The vehicle inspection can be performed by temporarily switching the vehicle 2 to the startable state in response to an application from the user to the administrator (administrator terminal 35).
　車検を受けた車両２には、例えば電子ナンバープレート、車載記憶装置、車載器１のメモリまたはＩＣカード等に少なくとも車検を受けたことを示す車検情報が記録される。この車検情報には、車検証の情報、車検を受けた期日、次回の車検期限、所有者、使用者、納税義務者、車両番号、型式、自動車の種別、車体の形状、長さ、幅、高さ、重量、定員、積載量、排気量、燃料の種類、点検項目とその結果、及び、部品交換や故障の履歴等の情報が含まれる。これらの情報を電子ナンバープレート等の記憶手段に記憶することにより、車検期限の情報、点検結果の情報、部品交換や故障履歴の情報を容易に読み出すことができるため、車両のメンテンナンス等にも有用である。 In the vehicle 2 that has undergone vehicle inspection, at least vehicle inspection information indicating that the vehicle inspection has been performed is recorded in an electronic license plate, an in-vehicle storage device, a memory of the in-vehicle device 1, an IC card, or the like. This vehicle inspection information includes vehicle verification information, date of vehicle inspection, next vehicle inspection deadline, owner, user, taxpayer, vehicle number, model, vehicle type, body shape, length, width, It includes information such as height, weight, capacity, load capacity, displacement, fuel type, inspection item and its result, and parts replacement and failure history. By storing this information in a storage means such as an electronic license plate, it is possible to easily read out information on vehicle inspection deadlines, information on inspection results, information on parts replacement and failure history, which is also useful for vehicle maintenance. Is.
　電子ナンバープレート等に記憶された車検情報は、車両情報として車載器１を介して車両情報収集部３２に収集され、義務情報演算手段７１において、車検が有効かどうかの判断に用いられる。そして、図３のＣ４の車検が有効であるか否かの判断において、ノーの場合には、遠隔制御指令部３１から車両２を起動不可状態に切り替えるための遠隔制御指令が車載器１へ送信される。図３のＣ４の判断がイエスの場合には、例えばステップＣ５に進む等の他の条件の判断が行われる。 The vehicle inspection information stored in the electronic license plate or the like is collected as vehicle information in the vehicle information collection unit 32 via the vehicle-mounted device 1, and is used by the duty information calculation means 71 to determine whether the vehicle inspection is valid. Then, in the determination of whether or not the vehicle inspection of C4 in FIG. 3 is valid, if the determination is NO, the remote control command for switching the vehicle 2 to the non-startable state is transmitted from the remote control command unit 31 to the vehicle-mounted device 1. To be done. If the determination in C4 of FIG. 3 is YES, determination of another condition, such as proceeding to step C5, is performed.
　車検が有効か否かの判断結果を含む車検情報は、義務情報演算手段７１から車検管理システム８３に提供されることにより、車検管理システム８３において車載器１により収集された車検情報が利用される。車検管理システム８３において全ての車両２の全ての車検情報が把握できているとは限らないので、この場合には、車載器１により車検情報を収集することは有効である。なお、車検管理システム８３において、車両２の車検情報が適切に収集されているような状況においては、義務情報演算手段７１は車検管理システム８３から提供された車検情報に基づいて車両２の車検が有効か否かを判断することもできる。 The vehicle inspection information including the determination result of whether the vehicle inspection is valid is provided from the duty information calculation means 71 to the vehicle inspection management system 83, and thus the vehicle inspection information collected by the vehicle-mounted device 1 in the vehicle inspection management system 83 is used. . Since the vehicle inspection management system 83 does not always know all the vehicle inspection information of all the vehicles 2, in this case, it is effective to collect the vehicle inspection information by the vehicle-mounted device 1. In the situation where the vehicle inspection information of the vehicle 2 is properly collected by the vehicle inspection management system 83, the duty information calculation means 71 performs the vehicle inspection of the vehicle 2 based on the vehicle inspection information provided from the vehicle inspection management system 83. It is also possible to judge whether it is valid or not.
［ナンバープレート番号などによる車両規制］
　車両２のナンバープレート番号に応じて、例えば都心部など、特定の地域への車両２の乗り入れを禁止する時間帯を法令により定める場合がある。車両２のナンバープレート番号は電子ナンバープレート、車載記憶装置、車載器１のメモリ等に記憶されておくこができ、車両２が駐車されている状態であっても、これらの車両２のナンバープレート番号の情報は、車両情報として車載器１を介して車両情報収集部３２により事前に収集され、義務情報演算手段７１に送られている。また、駐車時に車両２の位置情報は、車両２のＧＰＳから車両情報として車載器１を介して、車両情報収集部３２により収集され、義務情報演算手段７１に送られている。さらに、サーバ３に接続された車両規制データベース８４からは、関連する車両規制データが取得され、義務情報演算手段７１に提供される。サーバ３から車両規制データベース８４への接続は例えばＡＰＩを用いることができる。車両２のナンバープレート番号、車両２の位置が、車両規制データにより規制対象となっている場合には、図３のステップＣ５において車両規制対象でないとの判定で、ノーとなり、遠隔制御指令部３１において車両２を起動不可状態に変更するための遠隔制御指令が車載器１に送られるので、この場合には、ユーザは駐車中の車両２を起動することはできない。 [Vehicle regulation by license plate number, etc.]
Depending on the license plate number of the vehicle 2, for example, a time zone in which the vehicle 2 is prohibited from entering a specific area such as a city center may be stipulated by law. The license plate number of the vehicle 2 can be stored in an electronic license plate, a vehicle-mounted storage device, a memory of the vehicle-mounted device 1, or the like, and even if the vehicle 2 is parked, these license plate numbers of the vehicle 2 are stored. The number information is previously collected as vehicle information by the vehicle information collection unit 32 via the vehicle-mounted device 1 and sent to the duty information calculation means 71. Further, the position information of the vehicle 2 during parking is collected from the GPS of the vehicle 2 as vehicle information via the vehicle-mounted device 1 by the vehicle information collection unit 32 and sent to the duty information calculation means 71. Further, related vehicle regulation data is acquired from the vehicle regulation database 84 connected to the server 3 and provided to the duty information calculation means 71. The API can be used to connect the server 3 to the vehicle regulation database 84, for example. When the license plate number of the vehicle 2 and the position of the vehicle 2 are restricted by the vehicle restriction data, it is determined that the vehicle is not restricted in step C5 of FIG. In, the remote control command for changing the vehicle 2 to the non-startable state is sent to the vehicle-mounted device 1. Therefore, in this case, the user cannot start the parked vehicle 2.
　また、車両２の予定している経路が、車両２の通過予定時刻において車両規制地域に含まれる場合にも、車両は車両規制の対象になる。そこで、駐車中の車両２を使用する前にユーザはユーザ端末３７から車両２の目的地及び予定経路を登録する。義務情報演算手段では、登録された車両２の予定経路が、車両規制に含まれる場合には、図２のステップＣ５において車両規制対象でないとの判定で、ノーとなり、遠隔制御指令部３１において車両２を起動不可状態に変更するための遠隔制御指令が車載器１に送られるので、この場合には、ユーザは駐車中の車両２を起動することはできない。図２のステップＣ５において車両規制対象でないとの判定で、ノーとなった場合には、サーバ３はユーバ端末３７を介してユーザに対して車両２が車両規制の対象となっていること、及び、車両２の車両規制の範囲を報知する。サーバ３から車両規制の報知を受け取った後に、ユーザはユーザ端末３７から車両２の目的地及び予定経路を再度登録することができ、この再登録された目的地及び予定経路が規制対象の範囲に含まれなければ、図２のステックＣ５ではイエスの判断となり、ステップＣ５において遠隔制御指令部３１から車載器１に対して車両２を起動可能状態に切り替える遠隔制御指令が送信される。ユーザによるユーザ端末３７を介したサーバ３への目的地及び予定経路の再登録は何度でも受け付けられるようにしておくことが望ましい。それにより、車両規制が行われている状態であっても、ユーザの車両２利用の利便性を保つことができる。また、駐車中にユーザによりユーザ端末３７から登録された目的地及び走行経路の情報は、サーバ３から車載器１へ送られ、車両２のナビゲーション装置に登録しておくことができる。 Also, if the planned route of the vehicle 2 is included in the vehicle regulation area at the scheduled passage time of the vehicle 2, the vehicle is subject to the vehicle regulation. Therefore, before using the parked vehicle 2, the user registers the destination and the planned route of the vehicle 2 from the user terminal 37. If the registered planned route of the vehicle 2 is included in the vehicle regulation, the duty information calculation means determines that the vehicle is not subject to the vehicle regulation in step C5 of FIG. Since the remote control command for changing No. 2 into the non-startable state is sent to the vehicle-mounted device 1, the user cannot start the parked vehicle 2 in this case. When it is determined that the vehicle is not subject to the vehicle regulation in step C5 of FIG. 2, the server 3 indicates that the vehicle 2 is subject to the vehicle regulation to the user via the user terminal 37, and , The range of the vehicle regulation of the vehicle 2 is notified. After receiving the notification of the vehicle regulation from the server 3, the user can re-register the destination and the planned route of the vehicle 2 from the user terminal 37, and the re-registered destination and the planned route are within the restricted range. If not included, the determination in step C5 in FIG. 2 is YES, and in step C5, the remote control command unit 31 transmits a remote control command for switching the vehicle 2 to the startable state to the vehicle-mounted device 1. It is desirable that the user can accept re-registration of the destination and the planned route to the server 3 via the user terminal 37 any number of times. As a result, the convenience of the user's use of the vehicle 2 can be maintained even when the vehicle regulation is being performed. The information on the destination and the travel route registered by the user from the user terminal 37 during parking can be sent from the server 3 to the vehicle-mounted device 1 and registered in the navigation device of the vehicle 2.
　車両２の起動後に目的地や走行経路を変更したりする場合も起こり得る。起動後に車両２のナビゲーション装置に新たな目的地ないし走行経路が入力された場合には、この新たな目的地ないし走行経路の情報がサーバ３へ送信され、義務情報演算手段７１において、車両規制データベース８４からの情報と照合し、車両２の走行経路が車両規制に含まれていないか否かを判定し、その判定結果をユーザ端末３７及び／又は車載器１に対して、送信する。車載器１に送られた判定結果は、例えばナビゲーション装置のディスプレイに表示するようにしてもよい。判定結果が車両規制対象である場合には、判定結果と共に、車両規制の範囲と期間がユーザ端末３７、ナビゲーション装置のディスプレイ等に報知される。また、この報知と併せて、迂回経路や経路沿いの駐車場の情報を提供するようにしてもよい。 ・ It may happen that the destination or the travel route is changed after the vehicle 2 is started. When a new destination or a travel route is input to the navigation device of the vehicle 2 after the start-up, the information on the new destination or the travel route is transmitted to the server 3, and the duty information calculation means 71 causes the vehicle regulation database. The information from 84 is collated to determine whether the travel route of the vehicle 2 is not included in the vehicle regulation, and the determination result is transmitted to the user terminal 37 and / or the vehicle-mounted device 1. The determination result sent to the vehicle-mounted device 1 may be displayed on the display of the navigation device, for example. When the determination result is the vehicle regulation target, the range and the period of the vehicle regulation are notified to the user terminal 37, the display of the navigation device, and the like together with the determination result. In addition to this notification, information on the detour route and the parking lot along the route may be provided.
　ナビゲーション装置に新たな目的地ないし走行経路が設定されることなく、ユーザが目的地や走行経路を変更することも起こり得る。ナビゲーション装置に新たな目的地ないし走行経路が設定されることなく、ユーザが目的地や走行経路を変更した場合には、すなわち、車両２の走行経路がナビゲーション装置に設定された経路あるいはユーザ端末３７から事前に登録された経路から外れた場合には、ナビゲーション装置からの現在位置及び登録経路を外れていることの情報が車載器１からサーバ３に送られ、義務情報演算手段７１において、車両位置、予想経路、車両規制情報等に基づいて車両２の予想経路が車両規制に含まれるか否かを判断し、その判定結果をユーザ端末３７及び／又は車載器１に対して、送信する。車載器１に送られた判定結果は、例えばナビゲーション装置のディスプレイに表示するようにしてもよい。判定結果が車両規制に含まれている場合には、判定結果と共に、車両規制の範囲と期間がユーザ端末３７、ナビゲーション装置のディスプレイ等に報知される。また、この報知と併せて、迂回経路や経路沿いの駐車場の情報を提供するようにしてもよい。なお、車両規制データベース８４から得られた車両規制情報は、随時、車載器１に送信し、車両２のナビゲーション装置のディスプレイ等に表示するようにしてもよい。車両２が起動中である場合には、車両２の走行経路が車両規制に含まれることが判定されたても、車両２を起動不能状態に切り替えることはできないが、車両規制の範囲と期間をユーザ端末３７、ナビゲーション装置のディスプレイ等を介してユーザに報知することによって、ユーザに対して車両規制情報を報知することにより、車両規制を遵守するように促すことが可能である。 The user may change the destination or the traveling route without setting a new destination or traveling route in the navigation device. When the user changes the destination or the traveling route without setting a new destination or the traveling route in the navigation device, that is, the traveling route of the vehicle 2 is the route set in the navigation device or the user terminal 37. When the vehicle deviates from the route registered in advance from the vehicle, the information on the current position from the navigation device and the fact that the vehicle is out of the registered route is sent from the vehicle-mounted device 1 to the server 3, and the duty information calculation means 71 causes the vehicle position to be detected. It is determined whether the predicted route of the vehicle 2 is included in the vehicle regulation based on the predicted route, the vehicle regulation information, and the like, and the determination result is transmitted to the user terminal 37 and / or the vehicle-mounted device 1. The determination result sent to the vehicle-mounted device 1 may be displayed on the display of the navigation device, for example. When the determination result is included in the vehicle regulation, the vehicle regulation range and period are notified to the user terminal 37, the display of the navigation device, and the like together with the determination result. In addition to this notification, information on the detour route and the parking lot along the route may be provided. The vehicle regulation information obtained from the vehicle regulation database 84 may be transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device 1 and displayed on the display or the like of the navigation device of the vehicle 2 at any time. When the vehicle 2 is being started up, even if it is determined that the travel route of the vehicle 2 is included in the vehicle regulation, the vehicle 2 cannot be switched to the non-startable state, but the vehicle regulation range and the period are set. It is possible to prompt the user to comply with the vehicle regulation by notifying the user of the vehicle regulation information by notifying the user via the user terminal 37, the display of the navigation device or the like.
［サーバ３における車両２の運行管理］
　次に、サーバ３により自動的に車両の運行状況を判別する方法について詳細に説明する。事前に登録された駐車場に相当する場所で、所定時間以上、車両の動力がオフ状態となっている場合には、所定の駐車場に車両を駐車中であると判断する。また、事前に登録された駐車場以外の場所で、所定時間以上、車両の動力がオフ状態となっている場合には、所定の駐車場以外の場所に車両を駐車中であると判別する。さらに、車両が事前に登録された駐車場以外の場所にあり、車両の動力が所定の時間以上オフ状態とはなっていない場合にはユーザが車両を利用して移動中であると判別する。 [Operation management of vehicle 2 in server 3]
Next, a method for automatically determining the operation status of the vehicle by the server 3 will be described in detail. When the power of the vehicle is off for a predetermined time or longer at a place corresponding to a parking lot registered in advance, it is determined that the vehicle is parked in the predetermined parking lot. When the power of the vehicle is off for a predetermined time or longer in a place other than the parking lot registered in advance, it is determined that the vehicle is parked in a place other than the predetermined parking lot. Further, when the vehicle is located in a place other than the pre-registered parking lot and the power of the vehicle has not been off for a predetermined time or longer, it is determined that the user is moving using the vehicle.
　また、車両がユーザの事前登録した範囲から所定期間以上外れていた場合には、車両が盗難された可能性があると判別する。車両が盗難された可能性があると判別された場合には、ユーザが事前に登録している連絡先にその車両運行状況を通知すると共に、盗難の有無の問い合わせを行う。所定の期間内にユーザからの回答がない場合、及び、ユーザから盗難である旨の回答があった場合には、管理者に盗難の発生を報知すると共に、車載器１に対して起動不可状態に対応するリレー制御指令を送信する。管理者は、サーバ３から盗難発生の報知があった場合には、ユーザに連絡を取って盗難の発生状況を確認した上で、必要に応じて警察に車両の盗難を通報する。 Also, if the vehicle is out of the range pre-registered by the user for a predetermined period or more, it is determined that the vehicle may have been stolen. When it is determined that the vehicle may have been stolen, the user notifies the contact information registered in advance by the user of the operating status of the vehicle and inquires whether the vehicle has been stolen. If there is no response from the user within a predetermined period, or if the user responds that the theft has occurred, the administrator is notified of the occurrence of the theft and the vehicle-mounted device 1 cannot be activated. The relay control command corresponding to is transmitted. When the administrator informs of the theft, the administrator contacts the user to check the occurrence status of the theft, and then reports the theft of the vehicle to the police, if necessary.
　さらに、車載器１には、車載器１を車両２から抜去、又は、車載器１に接続されている配線の切断若しくは引抜の異常を検出する手段が設けられており、これらの異常を検出すると車載器１はサーバ３にかかる異常の発生を報知する。この報知が発生するとサーバ３は速やかに管理者に報知を行う。管理者は、サーバ３からこの異常の報知があった場合には、ユーザに連絡を取って盗難の発生状況を確認した上で、必要に応じて警察に車両の盗難を通報する。 Further, the vehicle-mounted device 1 is provided with means for detecting an abnormality of the vehicle-mounted device 1 being removed from the vehicle 2, or a disconnection or a pull-out of a wiring connected to the vehicle-mounted device 1 being detected. The vehicle-mounted device 1 notifies the server 3 of the occurrence of an abnormality. When this notification occurs, the server 3 promptly notifies the administrator. When the server 3 reports this abnormality, the administrator contacts the user to check the occurrence status of the theft, and then notifies the police of the vehicle theft if necessary.
　車載器１を車両２から抜去する場合として、例えば、（１）窃盗犯による盗難の場合、（２）ユーザによる車両の悪用の場合、及び、（３）未払いユーザによるやむを得ない緊急時の車両利用の場合、が想定される。（１）及び（２）のような盗難や悪用の場合を想定した場合には、車両を起動不可状態にすることが望ましい。一方、（３）のような緊急時の場合、例えば急病人の搬送を想定した場合には、車両を起動可能状態とすることが望ましい。後述のように、外部リレー２０は、その接続を切り替えることにより、配線の切断若しくは引抜時に、起動不能状態とするモードにするのか、それとも、起動可能状態とするモードにするのかを選択することができる。そこで、車載器１が前記異常の検出した場合、及び、外部リレー２０の配線の切断若しくは引抜時に、管理者が（１）及び（２）のような盗難や悪用の場合を想定する場合には外部リレー２０を起動不可状態になるように予め設定し、管理者が（３）のような緊急時の場合を想定する場合には外部リレー２０を起動可能状態になるように予め設定しておけばよい。 When the vehicle-mounted device 1 is removed from the vehicle 2, for example, (1) theft by a thief, (2) abuse of the vehicle by the user, and (3) unavoidable emergency vehicle use by the unpaid user If, then is assumed. In the case of theft or abuse as in (1) and (2), it is desirable to put the vehicle in a non-startable state. On the other hand, in the case of an emergency such as (3), for example, when transporting a suddenly sick person, it is desirable to put the vehicle in a startable state. As will be described later, by switching the connection, the external relay 20 can select whether the mode is set to a non-startable state or a startable state when the wiring is cut or pulled out. it can. Therefore, when the vehicle-mounted device 1 detects the abnormality, and when the administrator assumes the case of theft or misuse such as (1) and (2) when the wiring of the external relay 20 is cut or pulled out, Set the external relay 20 in advance so that it cannot be activated, and if the administrator assumes an emergency case such as (3), set the external relay 20 in advance so that it can be activated. Good.
　次に図２を参酌して車載器１の構成と車両２への接続を説明する。図２は内燃機関車両に接続する場合の例である。なお、図１と同一の部位については同一の符号を付し、詳細な説明は省略する。１１は演算処理を行うＣＰＵ、１２は無線通信ネットワークを介してサーバ３の送受信部と無線通信を行う無線通信モジュール、１３はリレーの状態等を記憶するメモリであり、例えば不揮発性メモリとして構成されており、１４は車載器の各種設定を行うコンソール、１５は車両２の外部バッテリ２１からの電力により充電される車載器内部のバッテリである内部バッテリ、１６は車両２の外部バッテリ２１からの電源入力を検知する電源入力検知部、１７は車両２の走行状態識別線（ＡＣＣ線、ＩＧ線）２２に接続されてエンジンのオン・オフ状態を検知するＩＧＮ入力検知部、１８は外部リレー２０に接続されるリレー入出力部、１９は車両２のＧＰＳ２４に接続されて車両の位置情報を検出するＧＰＳ入出力部である。また、図示されていないが、車載器１では加速度センサの情報、車速パルスの情報、燃料センサの情報、速度情報、タコメータの情報、タコグラフの情報、ドアロックの情報、イモビライザーの情報、エンジンスタートボタンの情報、タクシーの料金メータの情報、アクセルペダルの踏み込み量の情報（例えばスロットルバルブの開度の情報等も含む。以下、同様。）、及び、その他車両の稼働状況を把握できる各種情報を検出して収集できるようにしてもよい。これらの各種情報を車両情報として利用することも可能である。ここで、外部バッテリ２１とは、車載器１内部の内部バッテリ１５と区別した用語であり、車載バッテリのことを意味する。外部リレー２０は車両２のエンジン起動制御線（ＳＴ線）に接続されており、図３では外部リレー２０は車両２と車載器１との間に示されているが、実際には車両２のエンジンルームの内部に設けられており、外部リレーは外部から目視することはできない場所に配置されている。したがって、窃盗者あるいはユーザが故意に外部リレー２０を取り外すことはできない構造となっている。リレー入出力部１８は、外部リレー２０が起動不可状態にあるか起動可能状態にあるかを検出すると共に、リレー制御指令に基づいて外部リレー２０を起動不可状態又は起動可能状態に切り替える制御を行う。 Next, the configuration of the vehicle-mounted device 1 and the connection to the vehicle 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows an example of connecting to an internal combustion engine vehicle. The same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 11 is a CPU that performs arithmetic processing, 12 is a wireless communication module that wirelessly communicates with a transmission / reception unit of the server 3 via a wireless communication network, and 13 is a memory that stores a relay state and the like, and is configured as, for example, a nonvolatile memory. Reference numeral 14 is a console for performing various settings of the vehicle-mounted device, 15 is an internal battery that is a battery inside the vehicle-mounted device that is charged by electric power from the external battery 21 of the vehicle 2, and 16 is a power source from the external battery 21 of the vehicle 2. A power input detection unit that detects an input, 17 is an IGN input detection unit that is connected to a running state identification line (ACC line, IG line) 22 of the vehicle 2 to detect an on / off state of an engine, and 18 is an external relay 20. A relay input / output unit 19 connected is a GPS input / output unit connected to the GPS 24 of the vehicle 2 to detect vehicle position information. Although not shown, in the vehicle-mounted device 1, acceleration sensor information, vehicle speed pulse information, fuel sensor information, speed information, tachometer information, tachograph information, door lock information, immobilizer information, engine start button. Information, information on taxi fare meters, information on the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal (including information on the opening of the throttle valve, for example. The same applies below), and other information that can be used to ascertain the operating status of the vehicle. You may make it possible to collect it. It is also possible to use these various types of information as vehicle information. Here, the external battery 21 is a term distinguished from the internal battery 15 inside the vehicle-mounted device 1, and means the vehicle-mounted battery. The external relay 20 is connected to the engine start control line (ST line) of the vehicle 2, and the external relay 20 is shown between the vehicle 2 and the vehicle-mounted device 1 in FIG. It is installed inside the engine room, and the external relay is located in a place where it cannot be seen from the outside. Therefore, the structure is such that the thief or the user cannot intentionally remove the external relay 20. The relay input / output unit 18 detects whether the external relay 20 is in the non-startable state or the startable state, and controls the external relay 20 to switch to the non-startable state or the startable state based on the relay control command. .
　電源入力検知部１６と外部バッテリ２１、ＩＧＮ入力検出部１７と走行状態識別線２２、リレー入出力部１８と外部リレー２０、ＧＰＳ入出力部１９とＧＰＳ２４は、ＣＡＮ等の車両ＬＡＮを介することなく、それぞれ直接個別の配線で接続されている。これにより、ＣＡＮ等の車両ＬＡＮを用いることがないので、ＣＡＮ等の車両ＬＡＮによるセキュリティに対しては脆弱であるという問題が生じることはない。 The power input detection unit 16 and the external battery 21, the IGN input detection unit 17, the traveling state identification line 22, the relay input / output unit 18, the external relay 20, the GPS input / output unit 19 and the GPS 24 do not need to pass through a vehicle LAN such as CAN. , Each of them is directly connected by individual wiring. As a result, since the vehicle LAN such as CAN is not used, there is no problem that the vehicle LAN such as CAN is vulnerable to security.
　車載器１は内部バッテリ１５の電力により駆動される。内部バッテリは常に車両２の外部バッテリ２１の電力により充電されており、車載器１が抜去された場合、充電ラインが切断又は引抜された場合等の異常時であっても、所定の時間、車載器を駆動し続けることができ、このため、かかる異常の発生を現在地情報と共にサーバ３へ報知することができる。なお、直近の現在地情報その他の情報はメモリ１３に格納されている。 The vehicle-mounted device 1 is driven by the power of the internal battery 15. The internal battery is always charged by the electric power of the external battery 21 of the vehicle 2, and even if the vehicle-mounted device 1 is removed, the charging line is disconnected or pulled out, or the like, the vehicle is mounted on the vehicle for a predetermined period of time. It is possible to continue driving the vessel, and therefore, the occurrence of such an abnormality can be notified to the server 3 together with the current location information. The latest current location information and other information are stored in the memory 13.
　ＣＰＵ１１は、無線通信モジュール１２、メモリ１３、コンソール１４、内部バッテリ１５、電源入力検知部１６、ＩＧＮ入力検知部１７、リレー入出力部１８、ＧＰＳ入出力部１９、及び、図示されない加速度センサ等に接続されている。車両情報検出手段としては、電源入力検知部１６、ＩＧＮ入力検知部１７、ＧＰＳ入出力部１９、及び、加速度センサ等を備えている。リレー入出力部１８は、外部リレー２０の状態を検出すると共に、外部リレー２０を起動不可状態か起動可能状態かのいずれか一方に制御するものであり、外部リレー２０の状態も車両情報として使用可能である。 The CPU 11 includes a wireless communication module 12, a memory 13, a console 14, an internal battery 15, a power input detection unit 16, an IGN input detection unit 17, a relay input / output unit 18, a GPS input / output unit 19, an acceleration sensor (not shown), and the like. It is connected. The vehicle information detection means includes a power input detection unit 16, an IGN input detection unit 17, a GPS input / output unit 19, and an acceleration sensor. The relay input / output unit 18 detects the state of the external relay 20 and controls the external relay 20 to either the unstartable state or the startable state, and the state of the external relay 20 is also used as vehicle information. It is possible.
　ＣＰＵ１１は、メモリ１３に格納されたプログラムによって、外部リレー２０の制御及び車両情報の収集を行う。以下、車載器１の動作について説明する。
［車両情報の収集について］
　車載器１は所定の周期、例えば３０秒おきに、又は、車両動力のオン等の特定のイベント発生時に、あるいは、その両方で車両情報の収集を行い、サーバ３へその車両情報を送信する。この時の車両情報としては、電源入力検出部１６で検出される外部バッテリ２１からの電源入力の情報、ＩＧＮ入力検知部１７で検出される走行状態識別線（ＡＣＣ線、ＩＧ線）の情報、例えばエンジンのオン、オフの状態を示す情報、リレー入出力部１８で検出される外部リレー２０の状態、ＧＰＳ入出力部１９で検出されるＧＰＳからの位置情報、図示しない加速度センサから検出される加速度の情報、車速パルスの情報、燃料センサの情報、及び、車両情報を取得した時刻の情報の中の少なくとも１つを含んでいる。なお、ＧＰＳの位置情報から速度を演算することも可能である。サーバ３では、これらの車両情報を基づいて、車両の運行状況を把握する。 The CPU 11 controls the external relay 20 and collects vehicle information according to a program stored in the memory 13. The operation of the vehicle-mounted device 1 will be described below.
[Collecting vehicle information]
The vehicle-mounted device 1 collects vehicle information at a predetermined cycle, for example, every 30 seconds, or when a specific event such as turning on of vehicle power occurs, or both, and transmits the vehicle information to the server 3. As the vehicle information at this time, information on the power input from the external battery 21 detected by the power input detection unit 16, information on the traveling state identification line (ACC line, IG line) detected by the IGN input detection unit 17, For example, the information indicating the on / off state of the engine, the state of the external relay 20 detected by the relay input / output unit 18, the position information from the GPS detected by the GPS input / output unit 19, and the acceleration sensor (not shown) are detected. It includes at least one of acceleration information, vehicle speed pulse information, fuel sensor information, and time information when vehicle information is acquired. It is also possible to calculate the speed from the GPS position information. The server 3 grasps the operation status of the vehicle based on these vehicle information.
［外部リレーの制御について］
　車載器１がサーバ３からリレー制御指令を受信すると、その制御値をメモリ１３に記憶し、その値に対応する状態になるように外部リレー２０を制御する。車両情報連動制御手段は、ＣＰＵ１１、メモリ１３、ＩＧＮ入力検知部１７及びリレー入出力部１８を含み、外部リレー２０を切り替える際に、後述のように、車両の動力のオン、オフ切替タイミングを考慮して、リレー制御指令を採用する場合と、採用しない場合（リレー制御指令を無視する場合）とを判別する。内燃機関車両の場合には動力のオン、オフは、例えばＩＧＮ入力検知部１７で検出される走行状態識別線（ＡＣＣ線、ＩＧ線）の情報、例えばエンジンのオン、オフの状態を示す情報により検出する。 [Control of external relay]
When the vehicle-mounted device 1 receives the relay control command from the server 3, the control value is stored in the memory 13 and the external relay 20 is controlled so as to be in a state corresponding to the value. The vehicle information interlocking control unit includes the CPU 11, the memory 13, the IGN input detection unit 17, and the relay input / output unit 18, and when switching the external relay 20, the ON / OFF switching timing of the vehicle power is taken into consideration as described later. Then, the case where the relay control command is adopted and the case where it is not adopted (the case where the relay control command is ignored) are determined. In the case of an internal combustion engine vehicle, the power is turned on / off according to, for example, information of a running state identification line (ACC line, IG line) detected by the IGN input detection unit 17, for example, information indicating an on / off state of the engine To detect.
　次に図４を参照して、内燃機関車両におけるエンジン起動制御線（ＳＴ線）を外部リレー２０でカットする場合（図３の場合）のリレーの制御値（ＳＴ線リレーの制御値）について説明する。図４Ａはエンジン起動制御線が１本の車種の場合を示し、図４Ｂはエンジン起動制御線が２本の車種の場合を示している。初めに図４Ａのエンジン起動制御線が１本の車種の場合について説明する。リレーＡのリレー値はオープンの時"０"であり、クローズのとき"１"である。外部リレー制御値は、"００"と"０１"の２種類となる。外部リレー制御値が"００"の時は、ステータスは起動可能状態（通常）、車両状態は起動可となる。一方、外部リレー制御値が"０１"の時は、ステータスは起動不可状態、車両状態は起動不可となる。 Next, referring to FIG. 4, a description will be given of the relay control value (ST line relay control value) when the engine start control line (ST line) in the internal combustion engine vehicle is cut by the external relay 20 (in the case of FIG. 3). To do. FIG. 4A shows a case where the vehicle type has one engine start control line, and FIG. 4B shows a case where the vehicle type has two engine start control lines. First, the case where the vehicle has one engine start control line in FIG. 4A will be described. The relay value of the relay A is "0" when it is open and "1" when it is closed. There are two types of external relay control values, "00" and "01". When the external relay control value is "00", the status is startable (normal) and the vehicle is startable. On the other hand, when the external relay control value is "01", the status is unstartable and the vehicle status is unstartable.
　次に図４Ｂのエンジン起動制御線が２本の車種の場合について説明する。リレーＡ、リレーＢ共に、リレー値はオープンの時"０"であり、クローズのとき"１"である。外部リレー制御値は、"００" と"０１"と"１０" と"１１"の４種類となる。外部リレー制御値が"００"の時は、ステータスは起動可能状態（通常）、車両状態は起動可となる。外部リレー制御値が"０１"の時は、ステータスは意図しない値、車両状態は起動可となる。外部リレー制御値が"１０"の時は、ステータスは意図しない値、車両状態は起動可となる。外部リレー制御値が"１１"の時は、ステータスは起動不可状態、車両状態は起動不可となる。 Next, a case where the engine start control line in FIG. 4B has two vehicle types will be described. The relay value of both the relay A and the relay B is "0" when open and "1" when closed. There are four types of external relay control values: "00", "01", "10", and "11". When the external relay control value is "00", the status is startable (normal) and the vehicle is startable. When the external relay control value is "01", the status is an unintended value, and the vehicle state is startable. When the external relay control value is "10", the status is an unintended value and the vehicle state is startable. When the external relay control value is "11", the status is unstartable and the vehicle status is unstartable.
　リレー監視部は、ＣＰＵ１１とメモリ１３とリレー入出力部１８とを含み、後述のように、ファームウエアの不具合により、外部リレー制御値が本来起動可能状態であるときにリレー状態を監視し、当該監視によりリレー状態が起動可能状態以外になっていた場合にはリレー状態を起動可能状態、すなわち、外部リレー制御値を"００"とし、外部リレー２０を起動可能状態とする。 The relay monitoring unit includes the CPU 11, the memory 13, and the relay input / output unit 18, and monitors the relay state when the external relay control value is originally in a startable state due to a malfunction of firmware, as described later, and When the relay state is other than the startable state by monitoring, the relay state is set to the startable state, that is, the external relay control value is set to "00" and the external relay 20 is set to the startable state.
　さらに、図５を参照して、外部リレー２０の配線について説明する。外部リレー２０は、接続状態を変更することにより、ノーマルオープンとノーマルクローズとを選択することができる。４１は電磁石のコイル、４２はスイッチ、４３と４４はリレー入出力部１８側の端子、４５はエンジン起動制御線（ＳＴ線）側の一方の端子、４６はノーマルクローズ端子、４７はノーマルオープン端子である。スイッチ４２はノーマルクローズ端子４６側にバネで付勢されているので、コイル４１に通電していない時にはスイッチ４２はノーマルクローズ端子４６側に接触している。コイル４１に通電した時には、スイッチ４２は電磁石に吸い付けられ、ノーマルオープン端子４７に接触する。したがって、外部リレー２０をノーマルクローズ型として使用したい場合には、ＳＴ線の他方の端子をノーマルクローズ端子４６に接続し、逆に、外部リレー２０をノーマルオープンズ型として使用したい場合には、ＳＴ線の他方の端子をノーマルオープン端子４７に接続する。 Further, the wiring of the external relay 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The external relay 20 can select normally open or normally closed by changing the connection state. 41 is an electromagnet coil, 42 is a switch, 43 and 44 are terminals on the relay input / output unit 18 side, 45 is one terminal on the engine start control line (ST line) side, 46 is a normally closed terminal, and 47 is a normally open terminal. Is. Since the switch 42 is biased toward the normally closed terminal 46 by a spring, the switch 42 is in contact with the normally closed terminal 46 side when the coil 41 is not energized. When the coil 41 is energized, the switch 42 is attracted to the electromagnet and contacts the normally open terminal 47. Therefore, if the external relay 20 is to be used as a normally closed type, the other terminal of the ST line is connected to the normally closed terminal 46, and conversely, if the external relay 20 is to be used as a normally open type, ST Connect the other terminal of the wire to the normally open terminal 47.
　図２を参酌して、外部リレー２０をノーマルクローズ型として使用したい場合と、外部リレー２０をノーマルオープンズ型として使用したい場合との違いを説明する。電源入力検出部１６、ＩＧＮ入力検知部１７、リレー入出力部１８、及び、ＧＰＳ入出力部１９のいずれか少なくとも１つには、配線の切断又は引抜を検出する手段（図示省略）が設けられている。配線の切断又は引抜を検出する手段としては、例えば特許文献２に開示されているような配線の切断又は引抜に伴う配線の電圧変化を利用するという公知の手段を用いることができる。また、電源入力検知部１６が外部バッテリ２１からの電源入力を検知しない場合には、電源入力検知部１６と外部バッテリ２１との間の配線に切断又は引抜が生じたと判断することもできる。車載器の抜去についても、これらの配線の切断又は引抜に基づいて検出することができる。配線の切断又は引抜を検出した場合には、後述のように、外部リレー２０を起動不可状態（オープン）にするか、あるいは、起動可能状態（クローズ）にするかのどちらかに制御するように決めておく。 With reference to FIG. 2, the difference between the case where the external relay 20 is used as a normally closed type and the case where the external relay 20 is used as a normally open type will be described. At least one of the power input detection unit 16, the IGN input detection unit 17, the relay input / output unit 18, and the GPS input / output unit 19 is provided with a means (not shown) for detecting disconnection or extraction of wiring. ing. As a means for detecting the disconnection or extraction of the wiring, for example, a publicly known means for utilizing the voltage change of the wiring due to the disconnection or the extraction of the wiring as disclosed in Patent Document 2 can be used. Further, when the power input detection unit 16 does not detect the power input from the external battery 21, it can be determined that the wiring between the power input detection unit 16 and the external battery 21 is cut or pulled out. The removal of the vehicle-mounted device can also be detected based on the disconnection or removal of these wirings. When the disconnection or pulling out of the wiring is detected, the external relay 20 is controlled to be either in a non-startable state (open) or a startable state (closed) as described later. Make a decision.
　また、配線の切断又は引抜を検出した場合には、前述のとおり外部リレー２０を制御すると共に、無線通信モジュール１２を介してサーバ３にその異常を報知する。サーバ３がその異常の報知を受信すると、サーバ３は速やかに管理者に報知を行う。管理者は、サーバ３からこの異常の報知があった場合には、ユーザに連絡を取って盗難の発生状況を確認した上で、必要に応じて警察に車両の盗難を通報する。一方、車載器１は、前記異常を報知すると共に、車載器１に搭載された警報器（図示省略）により警報音を鳴らす。また、車載器１に警報器を搭載する代わりに、車両の警笛、ヘッドランプ、ウインカー、ハザードランプ等を利用して警報を行うことができるように、これらの制御回路の入力端子に車載器１の警報出力の出力信号を入力するように配線することもできる。 Further, when the disconnection or pulling out of the wiring is detected, the external relay 20 is controlled as described above and the abnormality is notified to the server 3 via the wireless communication module 12. When the server 3 receives the notification of the abnormality, the server 3 promptly notifies the administrator. When the server 3 reports this abnormality, the administrator contacts the user to check the occurrence status of the theft, and then notifies the police of the vehicle theft if necessary. On the other hand, the vehicle-mounted device 1 notifies the abnormality and sounds an alarm sound by an alarm device (not shown) mounted on the vehicle-mounted device 1. Further, instead of mounting the alarm device on the vehicle-mounted device 1, the vehicle-mounted device 1 is connected to the input terminals of these control circuits so that the alarm can be issued by using a horn, headlamp, blinker, hazard lamp, etc. of the vehicle. It is also possible to wire to input the output signal of the alarm output of.
　ここでは、異常の報知として、配線の切断又は引抜を検出した場合を例にして説明したが、車載器１にさらに故障検出手段を設け、当該故障検出手段が車載器１の故障を検出した場合に、無線通信モジュール１２を介してサーバに対して車載器１の故障を報知するようにしてもよい。サーバ３が車載器１の故障の報知を受信すると、サーバはかかる故障の発生を管理者に通報し、かかる通報を受けた管理者は該当する車両のユーザに連絡をとって、車載器１を修理又は交換するように手配する。 Here, as the abnormality notification, the case where the disconnection or the withdrawal of the wiring is detected has been described as an example, but when the vehicle-mounted device 1 is further provided with a failure detection unit and the failure detection unit detects a failure of the vehicle-mounted device 1. Alternatively, the failure of the vehicle-mounted device 1 may be notified to the server via the wireless communication module 12. When the server 3 receives the notification of the failure of the vehicle-mounted device 1, the server reports the occurrence of the failure to the administrator, and the administrator who receives the report contacts the user of the vehicle concerned to check the vehicle-mounted device 1 Arrange for repair or replacement.
　リレー入出力部１８と外部リレー２０との間の配線の切断又は引抜が生じた場合には、外部リレー２０のコイル４１への電流供給が停止するため、ノーマルクローズ型の場合には外部リレー２０はクローズとなり、ＳＴ線が接続された状態となり、ノーマルオープン型の場合には外部リレー２０はオープンとなり、ＳＴ線は遮断（カット）された状態となる。 When the wiring between the relay input / output unit 18 and the external relay 20 is cut or pulled out, the current supply to the coil 41 of the external relay 20 is stopped. Therefore, in the case of the normally closed type, the external relay 20 is used. Is closed, the ST line is connected, and in the case of the normally open type, the external relay 20 is open and the ST line is cut (cut).
　前述のように、管理者が車載器１を車両２から抜去する場合としては、（１）窃盗犯による盗難の場合、（２）ユーザによる車両の悪用の場合、及び、（３）未払いユーザによるやむを得ない緊急時の車両利用の場合、が想定されるところ、（１）及び（２）のような盗難や悪用の場合を想定した場合には、車両を起動不可状態にすることが望ましいので、外部リレー２０としてノーマルオープン型を採用し、配線の切断又は引抜を検出した場合にも外部リレー２０を起動不可状態（オープン）に制御するように予め決めておくとよい。一方、（３）のような緊急時の場合、例えば急病人の搬送を想定した場合には、車両を起動可能状態とすることが望ましいので、外部リレー２０としてノーマルクローズ型を採用し、配線の切断又は引抜を検出した場合にも外部リレー２０を起動可能状態（クローズ）に制御するように予め決めておくとよい。 As described above, when the administrator removes the vehicle-mounted device 1 from the vehicle 2, (1) theft by a thief, (2) the vehicle abused by the user, and (3) the unpaid user In the case of unavoidable emergency vehicle use, where is assumed, it is desirable to put the vehicle in a non-startable state, assuming the case of theft or misuse such as (1) and (2). It is advisable to adopt a normally open type as the external relay 20 and predetermine it so that the external relay 20 is controlled to a non-startable state (open) even when disconnection or pulling out of the wiring is detected. On the other hand, in the case of an emergency such as (3), for example, when transporting a suddenly sick person, it is desirable to put the vehicle in a startable state. Therefore, a normally closed type is adopted as the external relay 20, and It is preferable to determine in advance that the external relay 20 is controlled to the startable state (closed) even when the disconnection or the pulling out is detected.
　また、車載器１は電波状況が悪い場合であって、サーバ３からのリレー制御指令がなくとも、スタンドアローンでフェイルセイフに動作をすることができる。例えば、電波状況が悪い場所で車両が起動不可状態となり、起動可能情報に対応するリレー制御指令を受け取ることができなくなる事態を回避することができる。車載器は、電波状況が悪い時には通信のリトライを繰り返して、通信を確立しようとする。所定回数、例えば２０回以上、連続してリトライしても通信が確立できない場合には、通信不能と判断し、外部リレー２０の状態が起動不可状態のときには、起動可能状態に切り替える。これにより、電波状況が悪い時に、サーバ3から起動可能状態へ変更するリレー制御信号を送信できないために、車両が起動不能状態のまま放置される事態を避けることができる。この通信不能のときに車両を起動可能状態に切り替える処理を採用するか否かについては、車両の出荷時等に切り替えることができる。 Also, the vehicle-mounted device 1 can operate in a fail-safe manner in a stand-alone manner even when the radio wave condition is bad and there is no relay control command from the server 3. For example, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the vehicle cannot be started in a place where the radio wave condition is bad and the relay control command corresponding to the startable information cannot be received. When the radio wave condition is bad, the vehicle-mounted device tries to establish communication by repeating communication retry. When the communication cannot be established even if the communication is continuously retried a predetermined number of times, for example, 20 times or more, it is determined that the communication is impossible, and when the state of the external relay 20 is the non-startable state, the state is switched to the startable state. Thus, when the radio wave condition is bad, it is possible to avoid a situation where the vehicle is left in the unbootable state because the relay control signal for changing the server 3 to the bootable state cannot be transmitted. Whether or not to adopt the process of switching the vehicle to the startable state when communication is impossible can be switched when the vehicle is shipped or the like.
［省電力モードについて］
　内燃機関車両のエンジンがオフの時には、エンジンがオフしてから所定の時間、例えば１０分が経過した後には、外部バッテリ２１の電力の消耗を防ぐために、車載器は省電力モードに移行し、電源管理のような最低限の機能以外を停止する。省電力モードでは、電源入力検知部１６とＩＧＮ入力検知部１７とリレー入出力部１８と計時回路（図示省略）は常に起動しているが、その他の回路は停止状態となっている。省電力モードの時には、車載器１はサーバ３とは通信を行っていない。省電力モードの時に、電源入力検出部が電源入力の喪失を検出した場合、ＩＧＮ入力検知部１７がエンジンのオン状態（ＡＣＣオンやＩＧオン）を検出した場合、及び、計時回路が所定の時間を計時した場合（例えば、１時間おきに）には、省電力モードのときでも常に起動している対応する回路がＣＰＵに割り込みをかけて車載器１を省電力モードから通常モードに切り替える。また、省電力モードの時にもリレー入出力部には常に電力が供給されているため、外部リレー２０の状態を常に保持することができる。 [Power saving mode]
When the engine of the internal combustion engine vehicle is off, the vehicle-mounted device shifts to the power saving mode in order to prevent power consumption of the external battery 21 after a predetermined time, for example, 10 minutes, has elapsed since the engine was turned off. Stop all but the minimum functions such as power management. In the power saving mode, the power supply input detection unit 16, the IGN input detection unit 17, the relay input / output unit 18, and the timing circuit (not shown) are always activated, but the other circuits are in a stopped state. In the power saving mode, the vehicle-mounted device 1 is not communicating with the server 3. In the power saving mode, when the power input detection unit detects the loss of the power input, when the IGN input detection unit 17 detects the engine ON state (ACC ON or IG ON), and when the timekeeping circuit has reached a predetermined time. When the time is measured (for example, every one hour), the corresponding circuit that is always activated even in the power saving mode interrupts the CPU to switch the vehicle-mounted device 1 from the power saving mode to the normal mode. In addition, since the relay input / output unit is always supplied with power even in the power saving mode, the state of the external relay 20 can always be maintained.
［無線通信モジュールについて］
　前述のように車載器１は通常モードにおいては所定の周期、例えば３０秒おきに、又は、車両動力のオン等の特定のイベント発生時に、あるいは、その両方で車両情報の収集を行い、サーバ３へその車両情報を送信する。常に起動している対応する回路がＣＰＵに割り込みをかけて車載器１を省電力モードから通常モードに切り替える際には、車載器１を起点としてサーバ３と通信を行い、リレー制御指令の受信や車両情報の送信を行う。通常モードにおいては、車載器１起点の通信に加え、サーバ３起点の通信が可能であり、車載器１はリレー制御指令等の情報を受信可能である。電波状況が悪い時には、通信を確立するまでに、複数回、例えば５回程度の通信を繰り返すことがある。電波状況が悪く通信が確立できない場合でも、車載器１は、直近の通信によりサーバ３から受信したリレー制御指令をメモリに記憶しているので、車載器１はスタンドアローンで動作することが可能である。また、車載器１は収集した車両情報をメモリに記憶しているので、通信回線が回復したときにそれらをまとめてサーバ３へ送信することができる。なお、電波状況が悪い場合には、起動不可状態に対応するリレー制御指令を送信又は受信しないようにしておくこともでき、この場合には、電波状況が悪いために、起動不可状態から起動可能状態への変更ができなくなる不都合を回避することができる。 [About wireless communication module]
As described above, the vehicle-mounted device 1 collects vehicle information at a predetermined cycle in the normal mode, for example, every 30 seconds, or when a specific event such as turning on of vehicle power occurs, or both, and the server 3 Send the vehicle information to navel. When the corresponding circuit that is always activated interrupts the CPU to switch the vehicle-mounted device 1 from the power saving mode to the normal mode, it communicates with the server 3 starting from the vehicle-mounted device 1 to receive a relay control command and Send vehicle information. In the normal mode, in addition to communication from the vehicle-mounted device 1 starting point, communication from the server 3 starting point is possible, and the vehicle-mounted device 1 can receive information such as a relay control command. When the radio wave condition is bad, the communication may be repeated a plurality of times, for example, about 5 times before the communication is established. Even when the radio wave condition is bad and communication cannot be established, the vehicle-mounted device 1 stores the relay control command received from the server 3 in the latest communication in the memory, so the vehicle-mounted device 1 can operate in a stand-alone manner. is there. Further, since the vehicle-mounted device 1 stores the collected vehicle information in the memory, it can collectively transmit them to the server 3 when the communication line is restored. If the radio wave condition is bad, it is possible not to send or receive the relay control command corresponding to the non-startable state. In this case, it is possible to start from the non-startable state because the radio wave condition is bad. The inconvenience that the state cannot be changed can be avoided.
　次に、図６を参酌して、メモリ１３内の構成を説明する。メモリ１３は、通信部５０、リレー制御部５１、リレー監視部５５及びエンジン連動制御部５７からなる４つの処理部を含んでいる。また、リレー制御部５１はリレー設定値５２、車種毎起動不可リレー値５３及び車種毎起動可能リレー値５４を含み、リレー監視部５５はリレー監視実行フラグ５６を含み、エンジン連動制御部５７はリレー変更禁止期間５８、エンジン停止時刻５９及びエンジン状態再評価期間を含んでいる。 Next, the configuration in the memory 13 will be described with reference to FIG. The memory 13 includes four processing units including a communication unit 50, a relay control unit 51, a relay monitoring unit 55, and an engine interlocking control unit 57. In addition, the relay control unit 51 includes a relay set value 52, a vehicle type start-disabled relay value 53 and a vehicle type startable relay value 54, a relay monitoring unit 55 includes a relay monitoring execution flag 56, and an engine interlocking control unit 57 includes a relay. A change prohibition period 58, an engine stop time 59, and an engine state re-evaluation period are included.
　通信部５０は、サーバ３との通信のためのデータ領域である。無線通信モジュール１２を介して、車両情報のサーバ３への送信、サーバ３からのリレー制御指令の受信を行うために用いられる。リレー制御部は、サーバ３からのリレー制御指令により与えられたリレー値に対応する状態へ外部リレー２０を変更するためのデータ領域である。リレー監視部５５は、後述のように設定された起動不可状態・起動可能状態のリレー状態値に基づき、リレー状態が起動可能状態でなければならない状況、すなわち、初期状態又はサーバ３からの最後のリレー変更要求が起動可能状態への変更である場合には、外部リレー２０の状態を定期的に監視し、この監視の結果、外部リレー２０が起動可能状態以外のリレー状態になっている場合は、起動可能状態に変更する。エンジン連動制御部５７は、サーバ３からリレー制御指令を受信した際、過去Ｘ分（例えば２分）の間にエンジンがオンになっていた場合は、リレー制御指令を無視し、起動不可状態へのリレー制御指令を実行してからＹ秒（例えば５秒）の間にエンジンのオンを検出した場合には、リレーを起動可能状態に変更する。 The communication unit 50 is a data area for communication with the server 3. It is used for transmitting vehicle information to the server 3 and receiving a relay control command from the server 3 via the wireless communication module 12. The relay control unit is a data area for changing the external relay 20 to a state corresponding to the relay value given by the relay control command from the server 3. The relay monitoring unit 55 determines that the relay state must be the startable state, that is, the initial state or the last state from the server 3, based on the relay state values of the start-disabled state and the startable state set as described below. If the relay change request is a change to the startable state, the state of the external relay 20 is regularly monitored, and as a result of this monitoring, if the external relay 20 is in a relay state other than the startable state, , Change to bootable state. When the engine interlocking control unit 57 receives the relay control command from the server 3, if the engine is turned on within the past X minutes (for example, 2 minutes), the engine interlocking control unit 57 ignores the relay control command and enters the unstartable state. When the ON state of the engine is detected within Y seconds (for example, 5 seconds) after the execution of the relay control command of No. 1, the relay is changed to the startable state.
　ここで、Ｘ分を例えば２分としたことの根拠を説明する。エンジン停止後１０分程度で車載器１は省電力モードに切り替えられ、電力の消費を抑える。省電力モードの状態でユーザが車両に乗り込みエンジンを始動すべくキーをシリンダーに差し込み、イグニッションオン状態にすると、ＩＮＧ入力検知部１７は走行状態識別線（ＡＣＣ線、ＩＧ線）２２からエンジンがオン状態になったことを検出して、ＣＰＵ１１に対して割り込みをかけて、車載器１を通常モードに切り替える。車載器１が通常モードに切り替えられたことをサーバ３が認識するまでには、電波状況が良い時には１分程度、電波状況が悪く通信を５回程度繰り返す必要がある場合には１分３０秒程度かかる。車両の動力がオフにされてからある程度の期間は起動不可状態への切り替えを指示するリレー制御指令を採用しない（無視する）ことにより、車両の動力をオフにした後すぐに再度車両の動力をオンにするような場合にも、不用意に車両が起動不可状態に切り替えられてしまうことを防止することができる。例えば、駐車場においてトランクや座席から荷物を積み下ろしするまでの間、車両を駐車スペースから少しずらした位置で一端停車させた状態で車両の動力をオフにし、荷物の積み下ろしの後、再び車両の動力をオンにして車両を駐車スペースに入れなおすような場合に、不用意に車両が起動不可状態に切り替えられてしまうことを防止することができる。逆にＸ分が長すぎる場合には、車両を起動不可状態に切り替えることができなくなってしまうケースが発生することから、過去２分間の間にエンジンがオンになっていた場合には、リレー制御指令を無視することとした。 Here, explain the reason why X minutes is set to 2 minutes, for example. About 10 minutes after the engine is stopped, the vehicle-mounted device 1 is switched to the power saving mode to suppress power consumption. When the user gets into the vehicle in the power saving mode and inserts the key into the cylinder to start the engine and turns the ignition on, the ING input detection unit 17 turns on the engine from the running state identification line (ACC line, IG line) 22. When the state is detected, the CPU 11 is interrupted and the vehicle-mounted device 1 is switched to the normal mode. Before the server 3 recognizes that the vehicle-mounted device 1 has been switched to the normal mode, it takes about 1 minute when the radio wave condition is good, and 1 min 30 seconds when the communication condition needs to be repeated about 5 times when the radio wave condition is bad. It takes a while. By not adopting (ignoring) the relay control command that instructs switching to the unstartable state for a certain period after the power of the vehicle is turned off, the power of the vehicle is turned on again immediately after turning off the power of the vehicle. Even when the vehicle is turned on, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from being inadvertently switched to the non-startable state. For example, in the parking lot, until the load is unloaded from the trunk or seats, turn off the power of the vehicle with the vehicle temporarily stopped at a position slightly displaced from the parking space, load the load, and then load the vehicle again. It is possible to prevent the vehicle from being inadvertently switched to the non-startable state when turning on and re-entering the vehicle in the parking space. On the other hand, if X minutes is too long, it may happen that the vehicle cannot be switched to the non-startable state. Therefore, if the engine has been on for the past two minutes, relay control I decided to ignore the directive.
　次に、Ｙ秒を例えば５秒としたことの根拠を説明する。車載器１は、車両の動力がオンの間にリレー制御指令を受け取った場合には、安全を考慮してリレー制御指令を受け付けない（リレー制御指令を無視する）。車両の動力がオンである間は、ユーザが車両で移動中であるため、例えば電波状況が悪いために車両を起動不可状態へ変更するリレー制御指令の受信が遅延されてしまった場合等、不用意に車両が起動不可状態となることを防止している。一方、車載器１が車両の起動を認識するまでには、実際に車両が起動をしてから3秒程度かかる。車両を起動した直後に、車載器１がリレー制御指令を受信した場合、車載器１は車が起動していないと判断し、リレー制御指令を採用してしまい、車両が起動しているにも関わらず、車両が起動不可状態に切り替えられる状況が発生する。後述のように、イグニッションスイッチがプッシュ式の場合、起動不可状態にする方法として、プッシュボタンを無効にする方法と、イモビライザーを発動（認証用の線をカット）する方法とがあるが、この中、プッシュボタンを無効にするものの場合、前記３秒間の間に起動不可状態に切り替えられると、エンジンを切れなくなってしまう不具合が生じる。一方、イモビライザーを発動する方法の場合、前記３秒間の間に起動不可状態に切り替えられると、プッシュボタンは効くので、エンジンをオフすることはできる状態であるが、ギアがドライブＤには入らなくなるという不具合が生じる。以上のことから、Ｙ秒として、３秒よりも余裕を持たせた５秒を採用した。 Next, explain the reason why the Y seconds are set to 5 seconds, for example. When the vehicle-mounted device 1 receives the relay control command while the power of the vehicle is on, it does not accept the relay control command in consideration of safety (ignoring the relay control command). While the power of the vehicle is on, the user is moving in the vehicle, so that the reception of a relay control command for changing the vehicle to a non-startable state is delayed due to poor radio wave conditions, for example. It is easy to prevent the vehicle from becoming unstartable. On the other hand, it takes about 3 seconds until the vehicle-mounted device 1 recognizes that the vehicle has started up. When the vehicle-mounted device 1 receives the relay control command immediately after the vehicle is started, the vehicle-mounted device 1 determines that the vehicle is not started, adopts the relay control command, and the vehicle is started. Regardless, a situation occurs in which the vehicle is switched to the non-startable state. As will be described later, when the ignition switch is a push type, there are methods to disable the push button, a method to disable the push button and a method to activate the immobilizer (cut the line for authentication). If the push button is disabled, the engine cannot be turned off if it is switched to the non-startable state within the three seconds. On the other hand, in the case of the method of activating the immobilizer, if it is switched to the non-startable state within the above-mentioned 3 seconds, the push button is effective, so the engine can be turned off, but the gear cannot enter the drive D. The problem occurs. From the above, 5 seconds, which is more than 3 seconds, was adopted as Y seconds.
　次に、図６に示されているメモリ１３の各変数について説明する。リレー設定値５２は、現在の外部リレー２０の状態に対応するリレー値である。車種毎起動不可リレー値５３は、車両を起動不可状態にする外部リレー２０の状態に対応する車種毎の設定値である。車種毎起動可能リレー値５４は、車両を起動可能状態にする外部リレー２０の状態に対応する車種毎の設定値である。リレー監視実行フラグ５６は、外部リレー２０の監視を実行させるか否かを決定するフラグであり、初期状態（車両の出荷時）、又は、サーバ３からの最後のリレー制御指令が起動可能状態への変更である場合にオンとなる。リレー変更禁止期間は、エンジンが停止された後、外部リレー２０の変更を禁止する期間（Ｘ分、例えば２分）である。エンジン停止時刻は、前回エンジン停止を検出した時刻である。エンジン状態再評価期間は、起動不可状態への制御を行った後、エンジンのオンを再評価する期間（Ｙ秒、例えば５秒）である。 Next, each variable of the memory 13 shown in FIG. 6 will be described. The relay set value 52 is a relay value corresponding to the current state of the external relay 20. The non-startable relay value 53 for each vehicle type is a set value for each vehicle type corresponding to the state of the external relay 20 that puts the vehicle in a non-startable state. The startable relay value 54 for each vehicle type is a set value for each vehicle type that corresponds to the state of the external relay 20 that makes the vehicle startable. The relay monitoring execution flag 56 is a flag for determining whether or not to monitor the external relay 20, and is in an initial state (when the vehicle is shipped) or in a state in which the last relay control command from the server 3 can be activated. It is turned on when it is a change of. The relay change prohibition period is a period (X minutes, for example, 2 minutes) in which the change of the external relay 20 is prohibited after the engine is stopped. The engine stop time is the time when the last engine stop was detected. The engine state re-evaluation period is a period (Y seconds, for example, 5 seconds) in which the engine is re-evaluated after the control to the unstartable state is performed.
　車種毎起動不可リレー値５３及び車種毎起動可能リレー値５４は、車両の車種に応じて１つだけ記憶しておいてもよいし、あるいは、複数車種の値を記憶しておき、車両の車種に応じて選択するようにしてもよい。また、車種毎起動不可リレー値５３及び車種毎起動可能リレー値５４は、コンソール１４から設定するようにしてもよいし、サーバ３から設定するようにしてもよいが、ノイズによるファイルセーフの観点からはサーバ３から設定することが望ましい。 Only one non-startable relay value 53 for each vehicle type and one startable relay value 54 for each vehicle type may be stored depending on the vehicle type of the vehicle, or the values of a plurality of vehicle types may be stored and the vehicle type of the vehicle may be stored. You may make it select according to. Further, the vehicle-non-startable relay value 53 and the vehicle-type startable relay value 54 may be set from the console 14 or the server 3, but from the viewpoint of file safety due to noise. Is preferably set from the server 3.
　次に、メモリ１３の各処理部の動作について図７～図９のフローチャートを参照して説明する。まず、図７を参照してリレー制御部５１の動作について説明する。Ｓ１１でリレー制御部処理が開始されると、まずＳ１２でリレー設定値５２を与えられたリレー値で上書きする、次にＳ１３でリレー状態をリレー設定値５２の状態へ変更する。続いてＳ１４でリレー制御指令のリレー値が車種毎起動可能リレー値５４と同一か否か判断し、Ｙｅｓの場合はＳ１５に進み、リレー監視実行フラグ５６をオンにし、Ｓ１６に進む。Ｓ１４の判断でＮｏの場合はＳ１６に進み、通信部を呼び出し、サーバ３へリレー状態変更完了を通知し、続いて、Ｓ１７でリレー制御部処理を終了する。リレー制御部５１は、後述する図８のリレー監視部５５のＳ２５、及び、後述する図９のエンジン連動制御部５７のＳ３６により呼び出されて処理が開始される。 Next, the operation of each processing unit of the memory 13 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 to 9. First, the operation of the relay controller 51 will be described with reference to FIG. When the relay controller processing is started in S11, first, the relay set value 52 is overwritten with the given relay value in S12, and then the relay state is changed to the state of the relay set value 52 in S13. Subsequently, in S14, it is determined whether or not the relay value of the relay control command is the same as the vehicle type startable relay value 54, and if Yes, the process proceeds to S15, the relay monitoring execution flag 56 is turned on, and the process proceeds to S16. In the case of No in S14, the process proceeds to S16, the communication unit is called, the relay state change completion is notified to the server 3, and then the relay control unit process is ended in S17. The relay control unit 51 is called by S25 of the relay monitoring unit 55 of FIG. 8 described later and S36 of the engine interlocking control unit 57 of FIG. 9 described later to start the processing.
　次に、図８を参照して、リレー監視部の動作を説明する。Ｓ２１でリレー監視部処理が開始されると、まずＳ２２でリレー監視実行フラグ５６がオンであるか否かを判断する。上述のように、リレー監視実行フラグ５６は、外部リレー２０の監視を実行させるか否かを決定するフラグであり、初期状態（車両の出荷時）、又は、サーバ３からの最後のリレー制御指令が起動可能状態への変更である場合にオンとなる。Ｓ２２の判断がＹｅｓの場合にはＳ２３に進み、外部リレー２０のリレー状態を取得した後、Ｓ２４に進む。一方、Ｓ２２の判断がＮｏの場合にはＳ２６に進み、リレー監視部処理を終了する。Ｓ２４では、Ｓ２３で取得したリレー値が車種毎起動可能リレー値５４以外の値であるか否かを判断し、Ｙｅｓの場合にはＳ２５に進み、リレー制御部５１を呼び出し、リレー設定値５２を起動可能状態に対応する車種毎起動可能リレー値５４で上書きした上で、外部リレー２０の状態を車種毎起動可能リレー値５４に対応する状態へ変更した後、Ｓ２６に進み、リレー監視処理を終了する。一方、Ｓ２４の判断でＮｏの場合には、そのままＳ２６に進み、リレー監視処理を終了する。 Next, the operation of the relay monitoring unit will be described with reference to FIG. When the relay monitoring unit process is started in S21, it is first determined in S22 whether the relay monitoring execution flag 56 is on. As described above, the relay monitoring execution flag 56 is a flag that determines whether or not to monitor the external relay 20, and is in the initial state (when the vehicle is shipped) or the last relay control command from the server 3. Is turned on when is a change to the ready state. When the determination in S22 is Yes, the process proceeds to S23, the relay state of the external relay 20 is acquired, and then the process proceeds to S24. On the other hand, if the determination in S22 is No, the process proceeds to S26, and the relay monitoring unit process ends. In S24, it is determined whether or not the relay value acquired in S23 is a value other than the vehicle type startable relay value 54, and if Yes, the process proceeds to S25, the relay control unit 51 is called, and the relay set value 52 is set. After overwriting with the startable relay value 54 for each vehicle type corresponding to the startable state, after changing the state of the external relay 20 to the state corresponding to the startable relay value 54 for each vehicle type, the process proceeds to S26 and the relay monitoring process ends. To do. On the other hand, if the determination in S24 is No, the process directly proceeds to S26, and the relay monitoring process ends.
　リレー監視部の動作は、定期的に行われ、例えば通常モードでは３０秒毎、省電力モードでは１時間毎に行われる。このリレー監視部の動作により、本来起動可能状態であるとき（リレー監視実行フラグがオンのとき）には、車載器のファームウェアの不具合によりメモリ１３が本来の数値と異なる数値に書き換えられてしまった場合でも、常に車両が起動可能状態となるように外部リレー２０を制御することにより、意図せずに車両が起動不可状態になってしまい、正当な車両の利用を妨げてしまうことを防止できる。例えば、車載器のファームウェアの不具合によりメモリ１３のリレー設定値５２の値が意図しない値に書き換えられてしまったような場合でも、リレー監視実行フラグがオンのときには、常に車両が起動可能状態となるように外部リレー２０を制御することにより、車両を起動可能状態に維持することができる。 The operation of the relay monitoring unit is performed periodically, for example, every 30 seconds in the normal mode and every hour in the power saving mode. Due to the operation of the relay monitoring unit, when the system is originally in a startable state (when the relay monitoring execution flag is on), the memory 13 is rewritten to a different value from the original value due to a malfunction of the firmware of the vehicle-mounted device. Even in such a case, by controlling the external relay 20 so that the vehicle is always in the startable state, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from being unintentionally set to the unstartable state and hindering the proper use of the vehicle. For example, even if the value of the relay set value 52 in the memory 13 is rewritten to an unintended value due to a defect in the firmware of the vehicle-mounted device, the vehicle is always in the startable state when the relay monitoring execution flag is on. By controlling the external relay 20 in this manner, the vehicle can be maintained in a startable state.
　続いて、図９を参酌してエンジン連動制御部５７の動作を説明する。Ｓ３１でエンジン連動制御部処理が開始されると、Ｓ３２に進み、通信部５０を通してリレー制御指令を受け取り、次にＳ３３に進み、現在のエンジン状態がオフか否かを判断する。Ｓ３３の判断でＹｅｓの場合はＳ３４に進み、Ｓ３４では現在時刻とエンジン停止時刻の差分がリレー変更禁止期間５８（Ｘ分）以上か否かを判断する。Ｓ３３の判断でＮｏの場合及びＳ３４の判断でＮｏの場合には、Ｓ３５へ進み通信部５０を呼び出してサーバ３へリレー制御指令無視を通知した後、Ｓ４１へ進み、エンジン連動制御部の処理を終了する。Ｓ３４の判断でＹｅｓの場合には、Ｓ３６へ進み、リレー制御部５１を呼び出し、外部リレー２０の状態をリレー制御指令に対応する状態へ変更し、Ｓ３７へ進む。Ｓ３７ではエンジン状態再評価期間６０（Ｙ秒）だけ待機した後、Ｓ３８へ進み、Ｓ３８では実行したリレー制御指令は起動不可状態への変更であり、かつ、現在のエンジン状態はオンであるか否かを判断する。Ｓ３８の判断でＹｅｓの場合には、Ｓ３９へ進み、Ｓ３９ではリレー制御部５１を呼び出し、外部リレー２０の状態を車種毎起動可能リレー値５４に対応する状態へ変更した後、Ｓ４０に進む。Ｓ４０では、通信部５０を呼び出し、サーバ３へリレー制御指令無視を通知した後、Ｓ４１へ進み、エンジン連動制御部の処理を終了する。一方、Ｓ３８の判断でＮｏの場合には、そのままＳ４１へ進み、エンジン連動制御部の処理を終了する。 Next, the operation of the engine interlocking control unit 57 will be described with reference to FIG. When the engine interlocking control unit process is started in S31, the process proceeds to S32, the relay control command is received through the communication unit 50, and then the process proceeds to S33, in which it is determined whether the current engine state is off. In the case of Yes in S33, the process proceeds to S34, and in S34, it is determined whether the difference between the current time and the engine stop time is the relay change prohibition period 58 (X minutes) or more. In the case of NO in the determination of S33 and in the case of NO in the determination of S34, the process proceeds to S35, the communication unit 50 is called and the server 3 is notified of the ignoring of the relay control command, and then the process proceeds to S41, and the process of the engine interlocking control unit finish. If Yes in the determination of S34, the process proceeds to S36, the relay control unit 51 is called, the state of the external relay 20 is changed to the state corresponding to the relay control command, and the process proceeds to S37. In S37, after waiting for the engine state re-evaluation period 60 (Y seconds), the process proceeds to S38, and in S38, the relay control command executed is a change to the non-startable state and the current engine state is ON. To judge. In the case of Yes in S38, the process proceeds to S39, in which the relay control unit 51 is called to change the state of the external relay 20 to the state corresponding to the vehicle type startable relay value 54, and then the process proceeds to S40. In step S40, the communication unit 50 is called to notify the server 3 that the relay control command is ignored, and then the process proceeds to step S41 to end the processing of the engine interlocking control unit. On the other hand, in the case of No in S38, the process directly proceeds to S41, and the processing of the engine interlocking control unit is ended.
　エンジン連動制御部５７の動作は、定期的に行われ、例えば通常モードでは３０秒毎、省電力モードでは１時間毎に行われる。Ｓ３５及びＳ４０では、通信部５０を呼び出してサーバ３へリレー制御指令無視を通知しているところ、サーバ３はこのリレー制御指令が無視されたことを受信すると、図７のＳ１６でリレー状態変更完了が通知されるまで、繰り返し、リレー制御指令を送信する。このエンジン連動制御部５７の動作により、サーバからの指示により車両を起動不可状態に変更する際、車両の安全を考慮し、車両が危険な場所又は他人の迷惑になる場所におかれた状態で起動不可状態になってしまうことを防止できる。リレー変更禁止期間５８（Ｘ分、例えば２分）を考慮することにより、車両の動力をオフにした後すぐに再度車両の動力をオンにするような場合にも、不用意に車両が起動不可状態に切り替えられてしまうことを防止することができる。また、エンジン状態再評価期間６０（Ｙ秒、例えば５秒）を考慮することにより、車両の動力がオンになった直後（Ｙ秒以内）に車載器１が起動不可状態に対応するリレー制御指令を受け取った場合には、リレー制御指令を採用しない（リレー制御指令を無視する）ことにより、車両の動力がオン時に起動不可状態に切り替わるという不具合を防止することができる。 The operation of the engine interlocking control unit 57 is performed periodically, for example, every 30 seconds in the normal mode and every hour in the power saving mode. In S35 and S40, the communication unit 50 is called to notify the server 3 that the relay control command is ignored. However, when the server 3 receives the fact that the relay control command is ignored, the relay state change completion is completed in S16 of FIG. The relay control command is repeatedly transmitted until is notified. Due to the operation of the engine interlocking control unit 57, when changing the vehicle to the non-startable state according to the instruction from the server, in consideration of the safety of the vehicle, the vehicle is placed in a dangerous place or a place where it is a nuisance to others. It is possible to prevent the unbootable state. By considering the relay change prohibition period 58 (X minutes, for example, 2 minutes), even if the vehicle power is turned on again immediately after the vehicle power is turned off, the vehicle cannot be carelessly started. It is possible to prevent switching to the state. In addition, by considering the engine state re-evaluation period 60 (Y seconds, for example, 5 seconds), the relay control command corresponding to the inoperable state of the vehicle-mounted device 1 immediately after the power of the vehicle is turned on (within Y seconds). If the relay control command is received, the relay control command is not adopted (the relay control command is ignored), so that it is possible to prevent a problem that the power of the vehicle is switched to the non-startable state at the time of turning on.
　ここまでは、内燃機関車両へ適用し、外部リレーにより内燃機関のエンジン起動制御線（ＳＴ線）を切断することにより起動不可状態へ切り替える車両遠隔制御システムの態様を説明したが、以下では、図１０を参照して、内燃機関車両以外の動力を用いた車両、例えば電気自動車（以下「ＥＶ車両」という。）やハイブリッド電気自動車（以下「ＨＥＶ車両」という。）を含む車両に適用し、起動不可状態へ切り替えるためにＳＴ線制御以外の制御を含む車両遠隔制御システムの態様を説明する。なお、図１～図９と同様な構成については、同一の符号を用いて、その説明は省略する。 So far, the aspect of the vehicle remote control system applied to the internal combustion engine vehicle and switched to the unstartable state by disconnecting the engine start control line (ST line) of the internal combustion engine by the external relay has been described. 10, the invention is applied to a vehicle using power other than an internal combustion engine vehicle, for example, a vehicle including an electric vehicle (hereinafter referred to as “EV vehicle”) and a hybrid electric vehicle (hereinafter referred to as “HEV vehicle”), and started. An aspect of the vehicle remote control system including control other than ST line control for switching to the disabled state will be described. The same components as those in FIGS. 1 to 9 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.
　図１０は起動不可状態の制御方式を説明したものである。図１０は、車両の種類として、内燃機関車両、ＥＶ車両、パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両、シリーズ方式ＨＥＶ車両及びシリーズ・パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両に分類すると共に、イモビライザを搭載しているか否かに区分した上で、さらに、起動方式をキー式とプッシュ式に区分した上で、起動不可状態の制御方式としてＡ方式、Ｂ方式及びＣ方式の３つの方式の中からどの方式を採用可能かをまとめたものである。３つの制御方式としては、Ａ方式はＳＴ線をカットするもの、Ｂ方式は鍵認証を不可とするもの、Ｃ方式はプッシュボタンを無効化するものである。 Fig. 10 illustrates the control method in the unbootable state. FIG. 10 shows that the types of vehicles are classified into internal combustion engine vehicles, EV vehicles, parallel HEV vehicles, series HEV vehicles, and series / parallel HEV vehicles, and whether or not an immobilizer is installed. In addition, after categorizing the start method into the key method and the push method, it is a summary of which method can be adopted from among the three methods of A method, B method, and C method as the control method in the non-startable state. is there. Of the three control methods, the A method cuts the ST line, the B method disables key authentication, and the C method disables the push button.
　キー式及びプッシュ式は、動力を始動するための操作方法で分けたものである。キー式とは、動力を始動するためにキーシリンダにキーを差し込み、ＯＦＦ、ＡＣＣ、ＩＧＮ及びＳＴＡＲＴを切り替える方式のものである。プッシュ式とは、スマートキー式の場合の方式であり、動力始動用プッシュボタンを押すことにより、動力をオンとする方式のものである。 Key type and push type are divided according to the operation method for starting the power. The key type is a system in which a key is inserted into a key cylinder to start power, and OFF, ACC, IGN and START are switched. The push type is a system of a smart key type, and is a system of turning on the power by pushing a push button for power start.
　なお、ＨＥＶ車両の定義は、次のとおりである。パラレル方式は、モータとエンジンで車輪を駆動する方式であり、モータを使ってバッテリを充電する方式である。シリーズ方式は、エンジンで発電機を駆動して充電し、モータで車輪を駆動する方式である。シリーズ・パラレル方式は、モータとエンジンで車輪を駆動すると共に、エンジンで発電機を駆動して充電してモータを駆動することができる方式である。 The definition of HEV vehicle is as follows. The parallel system is a system in which wheels are driven by a motor and an engine, and a battery is charged by using the motor. The series system is a system in which an engine drives a generator to charge the battery, and a motor drives wheels. The series / parallel system is a system in which a motor and an engine can drive wheels, and an engine can drive a generator to charge and drive a motor.
　ここで、車載器１の構成は、ＥＶ車両及びＨＥＶ車両に対しても図３で示した内燃機関車両用のものと共通の部分が多いが、ＥＶ車両には内燃機関が無い点、及び、ＨＥＶ車両ではモータだけで走行できるモードが存在する点で内燃機関車両の場合と相違する。ＥＶ車両の場合には、ＩＧＮ入力検知部１７に替えて、プッシュボタンが押されて動力がオンとなっていることを検知する手段を設けることが望ましく、また、外部リレー２０については、後述のように、電子的な手段に置き換えてもかまわない。ＨＥＶ車両の場合には、ＩＧＮ入力検知部１７に替えて、動力がオンとなっていることを検知する手段を設けることが望ましく、また、外部リレー２０については、後述のように、電子的な手段に置き換えてもかまわない。 Here, the configuration of the vehicle-mounted device 1 has many parts common to those for the internal combustion engine vehicle shown in FIG. 3 also for the EV vehicle and the HEV vehicle, but the EV vehicle has no internal combustion engine, and The HEV vehicle is different from the case of the internal combustion engine vehicle in that there is a mode in which the vehicle can be driven only by the motor. In the case of an EV vehicle, it is desirable to provide a means for detecting that the push button is pressed to turn on the power, instead of the IGN input detection section 17, and the external relay 20 will be described later. As such, it may be replaced by electronic means. In the case of an HEV vehicle, it is desirable to provide a means for detecting that the power is on, instead of the IGN input detection section 17, and for the external relay 20, an electronic relay as described later. It may be replaced with a means.
　以下、Ａ方式、Ｂ方式及びＣ方式の３つの制御方式について詳細に説明する。各方式によって、外部リレー２０を挿入する配線が異なるが、いずれの方式の場合にも、起動不可状態のときには動力を始動することが不可能であり、起動可能状態のときには動力を始動することが可能である。 The following is a detailed description of the three control methods, method A, method B, and method C. The wiring for inserting the external relay 20 is different depending on each method, but in any method, it is impossible to start the power in the unstartable state, and it is possible to start the power in the startable state. It is possible.
　Ａ方式は、本実施形態として、先に説明した方式であり、外部リレー２０によって内燃機関のエンジン起動制御線（ＳＴ線）を切断することにより起動不可状態へ切り替える方式であり、内燃機関車両に適用できる。Ａ方式ではＳＴ線に外部リレー２０が挿入されており、起動不可状態の時に、外部リレー２０を開とすることにより、セルモータへの電力供給を遮断するため、エンジンの始動を阻止することができる。 The method A is the method described above as the present embodiment, and is a method of switching to the unstartable state by disconnecting the engine start control line (ST line) of the internal combustion engine by the external relay 20, and is used in an internal combustion engine vehicle. Applicable. In the A method, the external relay 20 is inserted in the ST line, and when the external relay 20 is opened in the unstartable state, the power supply to the starter motor is cut off, so that the start of the engine can be prevented. .
　Ｂ方式は、本実施形態の別の実施例であり、イモビライザーを搭載した車両で採用する方式である。イモビライザーとは、キーに埋め込まれたトランスポンダーと呼ばれるＩＣチップに固有のＩＤコードを記録させておき、トランスポンダーのＩＤコードを車両本体の電子制御装置に登録されているＩＤコードにより認証して、認証が成立した場合にのみエンジンを始動させることできる装置である。Ｂ方式では、イモビライザーにおける車両がトランスポンダーから受け取ったトランスポンダー側のＩＤコードの信号線、又は、イモビライザーにおける車両側のＩＤコードの信号線に対して外部リレー２０を挿入し、起動不可状態では外部リレー２０を開とすることにより、ＩＤコードの認証が不成立となるため、起動不可状態ではエンジンを始動することができない。ここでは、外部リレー２０を用いて起動不可状態とする例を説明したが、起動不可状態のときに、ＩＤコードの認証を不成立とさせれば、どのような手段を用いてもよく、例えば電子的な手段を用いてもよい。なお、電子的な手段を用いる場合にも、リレー入出力部１８（図３を参照。）で、起動不可状態であるか起動可能状態であるのかを検出できるようにしておくことが望ましい。 The B method is another example of this embodiment and is a method adopted in a vehicle equipped with an immobilizer. An immobilizer is an IC chip called a transponder embedded in a key that has a unique ID code recorded therein, and the ID code of the transponder is authenticated by the ID code registered in the electronic control unit of the vehicle body for authentication. It is a device that can start the engine only when it is established. In the B method, the external relay 20 is inserted into the signal line of the ID code on the transponder side received by the vehicle in the immobilizer from the transponder, or the signal line of the ID code on the vehicle side in the immobilizer. Since the ID code authentication is not established by opening, the engine cannot be started in the non-startable state. Here, an example is described in which the external relay 20 is used to disable the activation, but any means may be used as long as the ID code authentication is not established in the activation disabled state. Means may be used. Even when an electronic means is used, it is desirable that the relay input / output unit 18 (see FIG. 3) be able to detect whether it is in the non-startable state or the startable state.
　Ｃ方式は、本実施形態のさらに別の実施例であり、スマートキー式の場合の動力始動用プッシュボタンを備えた車両に採用する方式である。スマートキー式の車両では、動力始動用のキーシリンダーは無く、プッシュボタンが押されたことを電子制御装置へ伝えることによって動力を始動する。例えば、ＥＶ車両にはキー式のものは存在せず、全てプッシュ式である。Ｃ方式は、外部リレー２０をプッシュボタンの配線に挿入し、起動不可状態では外部リレー２０を開とすることにより、起動不可状態ではプッシュボタンを操作しても動力がオンとならない。ここでは、外部リレー２０を用いて起動不可状態とする例を説明したが、起動不可状態のときに、プッシュボタンが押されたことを電子制御装置へ伝えなくすれば、どのような手段を用いてもよく、例えば電子的な手段を用いてもよい。なお、電子的な手段を用いる場合にも、リレー入出力部１８（図３を参照。）で、起動不可状態であるか起動可能状態であるのかを検出できるようにしておくことが望ましい。 The C method is still another example of this embodiment, and is a method adopted in a vehicle equipped with a push button for power start in the case of a smart key type. In the smart key type vehicle, there is no key cylinder for starting the power, and the power is started by notifying the electronic control unit that the push button has been pressed. For example, no EV type vehicle has a key type, and all are EV type. In the C method, the external relay 20 is inserted in the wiring of the push button and the external relay 20 is opened in the non-startable state, so that the power is not turned on even if the push button is operated in the non-startable state. Here, the example in which the external relay 20 is used to make the start-up impossible state has been described. However, if the push-button is not notified to the electronic control unit in the start-up impossible state, any means can be used. Alternatively, electronic means may be used, for example. Even when an electronic means is used, it is desirable that the relay input / output unit 18 (see FIG. 3) be able to detect whether it is in the non-startable state or the startable state.
　イモビライザーありで、キー式の場合、内燃機関車両ではＡ方式又はＢ方式、ＥＶ車両は存在せず、パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両、シリーズ方式ＨＥＶ車両及びシリーズ・パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両ではいずれもＢ方式である。 ㆍ In case of key type with immobilizer, there are no A type or B type internal combustion engine vehicles, EV vehicles, and all B type in parallel type HEV vehicles, series HEV vehicles and series parallel type HEV vehicles.
　イモビライザーありで、プッシュ式の場合、内燃機関車両ではＡ方式、Ｂ方式又はＣ方式、ＥＶ車両ではＢ方式又はＣ方式、パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両、シリーズ方式ＨＥＶ車両及びシリーズ・パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両ではいずれもＢ方式又はＣ方式である。 In case of push type with immobilizer, A type, B type or C type for internal combustion engine vehicle, B type or C type for EV vehicle, parallel type HEV vehicle, series type HEV vehicle and series / parallel type HEV vehicle are all The B method or the C method.
　イモビライザー無しで、キー式の場合、内燃機関車両ではＡ方式、ＥＶ車両は存在せず、パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両、シリーズ方式ＨＥＶ車両及びシリーズ・パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両ではいずれの方式も対応不可である。 In the case of a key type without an immobilizer, there are no A-type and EV-type internal combustion engine vehicles, and neither of the parallel-type HEV vehicles, series-type HEV vehicles, and series-parallel-type HEV vehicles is compatible.
　イモビライザー無しで、プッシュ式の場合、内燃機関車両ではＡ方式又はＣ方式、ＥＶ車両ではＣ方式、パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両、シリーズ方式ＨＥＶ車両及びシリーズ・パラレル方式ＨＥＶ車両ではいずれもＣ方式である。 ㆍ In the case of push type without immobilizer, A type or C type for internal combustion engine vehicle, C type for EV vehicle, parallel type HEV vehicle, series type HEV vehicle and series / parallel type HEV vehicle are all C type.
［実施形態２］
　実施形態１では、図２のステップC２～Ｃ５の判定を行う例を説明したが、実施形態２では、さらに、カーリースのリース料の支払いの有無の判定を追加した例を、図１１～図１２を参酌して説明する。なお、図１１～図１２においては、図１～図１０と同一の構成については同一の符号を用い、その説明を省略する。実施形態２では、カーリースの場合を例に挙げて、ユーザによる車両についての所定の支払が行われなかった場合に車両を起動不可状態に切り替える制御、及び、ユーザによる所定の支払がなされた場合に車両を再び起動可能状態に切り替える制御について説明する。図１１は、第２実施形態に係る車両遠隔制御システムのブロックであり、図１２は、車両起動制御のフロー図である。 [Embodiment 2]
In the first embodiment, an example in which the determinations in steps C2 to C5 in FIG. 2 are performed has been described, but in the second embodiment, an example in which the determination of whether or not the lease fee for the car lease is paid is further added is shown in FIGS. 12 will be explained. 11 to 12, the same components as those in FIGS. 1 to 10 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. In the second embodiment, taking the case of car leasing as an example, the control for switching the vehicle to a non-startable state when the user does not make a predetermined payment for the vehicle, and the case where the user makes a predetermined payment The control for switching the vehicle to the startable state again will be described. 11 is a block diagram of a vehicle remote control system according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 12 is a flow chart of vehicle start control.
　サーバ３は、ユーザ情報管理部３８及び支払状況監視部３０を備えている。支払状況監視部３０は、金融システム３６のＡＰＩ３９を用いてユーザの支払状況を監視する。支払状況監視部３０において監視されたユーザの支払情報は、ユーザ情報管理部３８に送られるので、ユーザ情報管理部３８は、リアルタイムでのユーザの支払状況を把握することができる。ユーザ情報管理部３８は義務情報演算手段７１と接続され、義務情報演算手段７１にて演算された各種義務情報はユーザ情報管理部３８へ送られる。また、ユーザ情報管理部３８はユーザ端末３７と通信可能である。図１１では、無線通信ネットワーク３４による通信、及び、ユーザ情報管理部３８とユーザ端末３７との間の通信を別々に描いているが、無線通信ネットワーク３４により、ユーザ情報管理部３８とユーザ端末３７との間の通信を行うようにしてもよい。すなわち、ユーザ情報管理部３８とユーザ端末３７との間の通信も、例えば２Ｇ、３Ｇ、４Ｇ、５Ｇ、Ｗｉ－Ｆｉ（登録商標）、ＷｉＭＡＸ（登録商標）、無線ＬＡＮ、ビーコン、Ｂｌｕｅｔｏｏｔｈ（登録商標）、ＺｉｇＢｅｅ（登録商標）等が挙げられる。 The server 3 includes a user information management unit 38 and a payment status monitoring unit 30. The payment status monitoring unit 30 monitors the payment status of the user using the API 39 of the financial system 36. Since the payment information of the user monitored by the payment status monitoring unit 30 is sent to the user information management unit 38, the user information management unit 38 can grasp the payment status of the user in real time. The user information management unit 38 is connected to the duty information calculation unit 71, and the various pieces of duty information calculated by the duty information calculation unit 71 are sent to the user information management unit 38. Further, the user information management unit 38 can communicate with the user terminal 37. Although the communication by the wireless communication network 34 and the communication between the user information management unit 38 and the user terminal 37 are separately depicted in FIG. 11, the user information management unit 38 and the user terminal 37 are illustrated by the wireless communication network 34. It may be configured to communicate with the. That is, the communication between the user information management unit 38 and the user terminal 37 also includes, for example, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi (registered trademark), WiMAX (registered trademark), a wireless LAN, a beacon, and Bluetooth (registered trademark). ), ZigBee (registered trademark), and the like.
　また、ユーザ情報管理部３８には、税金管理システム８１、保険管理システム８２、車検管理システム８３、車両規制データベース８４の情報が提供されており、各ユーザに対応する情報の管理が可能である。このユーザ情報管理部３８を用いることにより、例えば、実施形態１と同様に、図３のＣ２の税金納付の判定の際に、車両２のユーザに対して、ユーザ端末３７を介して、事前に所定の期間内に所定の税金納付を行わないと車両２を起動不可状態にする旨の警告を行い、所定の期間待って、それでも税金の納付がない場合には、車両２を起動不可状態に切り替えるような管理を行うことができる。 Further, the user information management unit 38 is provided with the information of the tax management system 81, the insurance management system 82, the vehicle inspection management system 83, and the vehicle regulation database 84, and the information corresponding to each user can be managed. By using the user information management unit 38, for example, similarly to the first embodiment, when the tax payment of C2 of FIG. 3 is determined, the user of the vehicle 2 is previously notified via the user terminal 37. If a predetermined tax payment is not made within a predetermined period, a warning that the vehicle 2 will be disabled will be issued. After waiting for a predetermined period, if the tax is still not paid, the vehicle 2 will be disabled. It is possible to manage such switching.
　図１２を用いて、車両２をリースする場合における、リース料金の支払いの有無に関する判定について詳細に説明する。なお、リース料金支払いに関する判定は、実施形態１の図３のＣ２～Ｃ５の判定に加えることができる。
　ステップＡ１でフローがスタートする。ステップＡ２では、車両の納車時（出荷時）には、車両の起動が可能となるように、車両のエンジン起動外部リレー２０は起動可能状態に設定されている。ステップＡ３では、支払状況監視部３０は、金融システム３６のＡＰＩ３９を用いてユーザの支払状況をリアルタイムで監視して、ステップＡ４では、各車両のユーザから所定の期間内に利用料金の支払いがあったか否か（滞納があるか否か）を判断する。所定の期間内に利用料金の支払いがない際（ステップＡ４でＹｅｓの場合）にはステップＡ５に進む。ステップＡ５では、ユーザに対して料金未納であるため、所定の期間に料金を支払わないと車両を起動不可状態に切り替える旨を警告して、ステップＡ６へ進む。ステップＡ４でＮｏの場合には、ステップＡ３に戻る。 The determination regarding whether or not the lease fee is paid when the vehicle 2 is leased will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The determination regarding the payment of the lease fee can be added to the determination of C2 to C5 in FIG. 3 of the first embodiment.
The flow starts at step A1. In step A2, when the vehicle is delivered (at the time of shipment), the engine start external relay 20 of the vehicle is set to the startable state so that the vehicle can be started. In step A3, the payment status monitoring unit 30 monitors the payment status of the user in real time using the API 39 of the financial system 36, and in step A4, does the user of each vehicle pay the usage fee within a predetermined period? Determine whether or not (whether there is delinquency). If the usage fee has not been paid within the predetermined period (Yes in step A4), the process proceeds to step A5. In step A5, since the user has not paid the fee, the user is warned that the vehicle will be set to the unstartable state unless the fee is paid within a predetermined period, and the process proceeds to step A6. If No in step A4, the process returns to step A3.
　ステップＡ６では、支払状況監視部３０は、金融システム３６のＡＰＩ３９を用いてユーザの支払状況をリアルタイムで監視して、ステップＡ７では、各車両のユーザから所定の期間内に利用料金の支払いがあったか否かを判断する。ステップＡ７の判断がＮｏの場合には、ステップＡ８へ進む。ステップＡ８では、車両の運行状況を確認した上で、所定の条件を満たしている場合には、対応する車両２を起動不可状態とするために、サーバ３は遠隔制御指示部３１から起動不可状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令を対応する車載器１へ送信して、ステップＡ９へ進む。車載器１は、起動不可状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令を受け取ると、エンジン起動外部リレー２０を起動不可状態に切り替えるので、対応する車両２は起動不可状態、すなわち、内燃機関車両の場合にはエンジンの始動が不可能な状態となる。本実施形態では、ステップＡ４でＹｅｓの場合（滞納を検出した場合）には、ステップＡ５で一旦ユーザに車両を起動不可状態に切り替える旨の警告を行ったが、本発明はこれに限定されるものでは無く、例えば、ステップＡ４でＹｅｓの場合に、直接ステップＡ８に進み、車両を起動不可状態に切り替えることも可能である。このように、滞納の検出時に直接ステップＡ８に進み車両を起動不可状態に切り替えるか、あるいは、一旦警告を行い車両を起動不可状態に切り替える前に所定の猶予期間を与えるかどうかは、その地域の法令や商慣行等を考慮して決定される。 In step A6, the payment status monitoring unit 30 monitors the payment status of the user in real time using the API 39 of the financial system 36, and in step A7, does the user of each vehicle pay the usage fee within a predetermined period? Determine whether or not. If the determination in step A7 is no, the process proceeds to step A8. In step A8, after confirming the operation status of the vehicle, if the predetermined condition is satisfied, the server 3 is disabled from the remote control instructing unit 31 in order to render the corresponding vehicle 2 unbootable. The engine start relay control command corresponding to is transmitted to the corresponding vehicle-mounted device 1, and the process proceeds to step A9. When the vehicle-mounted device 1 receives the engine start relay control command corresponding to the unstartable state, it switches the engine start external relay 20 to the unstartable state, so that the corresponding vehicle 2 is in the unstartable state, that is, in the case of the internal combustion engine vehicle. Makes it impossible to start the engine. In the present embodiment, in the case of Yes in step A4 (when delinquency is detected), the user is once warned in step A5 to switch the vehicle to the unstartable state, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, for example, in the case of Yes in step A4, it is also possible to directly proceed to step A8 and switch the vehicle to a non-startable state. As described above, when the delinquency is detected, the process directly proceeds to step A8 to switch the vehicle to the unstartable state, or whether a predetermined grace period is given before the warning is given and the vehicle is set to the unstartable state is determined depending on the area. It is decided in consideration of laws and business practices.
　一方、ステップＡ７の判断がＹｅｓの場合には、ステップＡ３に戻り、支払状況監視部３０は、金融システム３６のＡＰＩ３９を用いてユーザの支払状況をリアルタイムで監視を行う。サーバ３から車載器１へ起動不可状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令がない状態では、通常、エンジン起動外部リレー２０は起動可能状態に設定されている。したがって、所定の期間内に利用料金の支払いがあった場合（ステップＡ７でＹｅｓの場合）には、サーバ３から車載器１へ起動不可状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令が送信されないので、エンジン起動外部リレー２０は起動可能状態の設定のままであり、対応する車両２は起動可能状態、すなわち、内燃機関車両の場合にはエンジンの始動が可能な状態となる。 On the other hand, if the determination in step A7 is Yes, the process returns to step A3, and the payment status monitoring unit 30 uses the API 39 of the financial system 36 to monitor the payment status of the user in real time. When there is no engine start relay control command from the server 3 to the vehicle-mounted device 1 corresponding to the non-startable state, the engine start external relay 20 is normally set to the startable state. Therefore, if the usage fee is paid within the predetermined period (Yes in step A7), the engine start relay control command corresponding to the unstartable state is not transmitted from the server 3 to the vehicle-mounted device 1. The starting external relay 20 remains set to the startable state, and the corresponding vehicle 2 is in the startable state, that is, in the case of an internal combustion engine vehicle, the engine can be started.
　ステップＡ９では、ユーザに対して料金未納のため車両が起動不可状態であることを報知すると共に、所定の期間を指定して所定の料金を支払うように促して、ステップＡ１０へ進む。ステップＡ１０では、支払状況監視部３０は、金融システム３６のＡＰＩ３９を用いてユーザの支払状況をリアルタイムで監視して、ステップＡ１１では、当該車両のユーザから所定の期間内に利用料金の支払いがあったか否かを判断する。ステップＡ１１の判断でＹｅｓの場合（支払い有りの場合）には、サーバ３は対応する車両を再び起動可能状態とするために、遠隔制御指示部３１から起動可能状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令を対応する車載器１へ送信する。車載器１が起動可能状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令を受信すると、エンジン起動外部リレー２０は起動可能状態に切り替えられ、対応する車両は再び起動可能状態となる。 At step A9, the user is notified that the vehicle is in an unstartable state because the fee has not been paid, and at the same time, the user is urged to pay a prescribed fee by designating a prescribed period, and the process proceeds to step A10. In step A10, the payment status monitoring unit 30 monitors the payment status of the user in real time using the API 39 of the financial system 36, and in step A11, does the user of the vehicle pay the usage fee within a predetermined period? Determine whether or not. If the determination in step A11 is Yes (when payment is made), the server 3 sets the engine start relay control command corresponding to the startable state from the remote control instructing unit 31 in order to set the corresponding vehicle to the startable state again. Is transmitted to the corresponding vehicle-mounted device 1. When the vehicle-mounted device 1 receives the engine start relay control command corresponding to the startable state, the engine start external relay 20 is switched to the startable state, and the corresponding vehicle becomes the startable state again.
　利用料金が月額料金の場合には、例えば前月の２５日までに所定の金額が支払われているか否かを確認する（ステップＡ４に対応）。所定の支払が行われていない際には、ユーザに対して滞納であること及び１週間以内に所定の料金の支払いがない場合には車両を起動不能状態にすることのメッセージを送信する（ステップＡ５に対応）。このメッセージの送信から１週間以内に所定の料金の支払いがない場合には、車両の運行状況を確認した上で、所定の条件を満たしていることを条件としてサーバ３は遠隔制御指示部３１から起動不可状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令を対応する車載器１へ送信する（ステップＡ８に対応）。車両を起動不可能状態にした後、所定の期間例えば1か月が経過してもユーザから所定の料金の支払いがない場合（ステップＡ１１の判断でＮｏの場合）には、管理者は車両情報収集部３２で収集された特定の車両の位置情報を利用して、当該車両の回収する手配を行う（ステップＡ１４に対応、その後はステップＡ１５でエンドとなり、処理を終了する）。 If the usage fee is a monthly fee, for example, check whether or not the prescribed amount has been paid by the 25th day of the previous month (corresponding to step A4). When the predetermined payment has not been made, a message is sent to the user indicating that the user is delinquent and that if the predetermined charge has not been paid within a week, the vehicle will be in an inoperable state (step). Corresponding to A5). If the predetermined fee has not been paid within one week from the transmission of this message, the server 3 confirms that the predetermined condition is satisfied after confirming the operation status of the vehicle, and the server 3 sends it from the remote control instruction unit 31. An engine start relay control command corresponding to the unstartable state is transmitted to the corresponding vehicle-mounted device 1 (corresponding to step A8). If the user does not pay the predetermined fee even after a lapse of a predetermined period, for example, one month after making the vehicle into the unbootable state (No in the determination in step A11), the administrator sets the vehicle information. The position information of the specific vehicle collected by the collection unit 32 is used to make an arrangement to collect the vehicle (corresponding to step A14, and thereafter, the process ends in step A15, and the process ends).
　一方、起動不可状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令を車載器１へ送信した後に、所定の期間内にユーザによる所定の金額の入金が確認された際（ステップＡ１１の判断でｙｅｓの場合）には、サーバ３は遠隔制御指示部３１から起動可能状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令を対応する車載器１へ送信し、再び、車両を起動可能状態とする（ステップＡ１２に対応）。また、サーバ３から車載器１へ起動不可に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令がない状態では、通常、エンジン起動外部リレー２０は起動可能状態に設定されているので、対応する車両は起動可能状態とされる。したがって、毎月２５日までに所定の料金の支払いを済ませていれば、ユーザは車両を起動可能状態のまま利用することができる。 On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the user deposits a predetermined amount of money within a predetermined period after transmitting the engine start relay control command corresponding to the unstartable state to the vehicle-mounted device 1 (in the case of yes in the determination in step A11). The server 3 transmits the engine start relay control command corresponding to the startable state from the remote control instructing unit 31 to the corresponding vehicle-mounted device 1, and brings the vehicle into the startable state again (corresponding to step A12). In addition, in a state where there is no engine start relay control command from the server 3 to the vehicle-mounted device 1, the engine start external relay 20 is normally set to the startable state, so that the corresponding vehicle is in the startable state. To be done. Therefore, if payment of a predetermined fee is completed by the 25th day of every month, the user can use the vehicle in a startable state.
　ステップＡ８で車両が起動不可状態に切り替えられ、ステップＡ９でユーザに所定の支払を促した後、ユーザはすぐに車両を使いたければ、速やかに所定の支払を行うことになる。この場合、ユーザはすぐに車両を使いたい状況であるため、所定の支払が行われてから実際に車両が起動不可状態から起動可能状態に切り替えられるまでにタイムラグがると、すぐに車両を使いたいユーザにとっては不利益であり、問題がある。そこで、ステップＡ１０において金融システム３６のＡＰＩ３９を用いてユーザの支払状況をリアルタイムで監視しているため、ステップＡ１１においてはユーザから所定の支払があったことをリアルライムで把握することができ、ステップＡ１２において、所定の支払があってからすぐにサーバ３は遠隔制御指示部３１から起動可能状態に対応するエンジン起動リレー制御指令を対応する車載器１へ送信し、再び、車両を起動可能状態とし、ステップＡ１３でリターンとなる。 After the vehicle is switched to the non-startable state in step A8 and the user is prompted to make a predetermined payment in step A9, if the user wants to use the vehicle immediately, the user will promptly make the predetermined payment. In this case, the user wants to use the vehicle immediately, so if there is a time lag between the time when the prescribed payment is made and the time when the vehicle is actually switched from the non-startable state to the startable state, the vehicle is immediately used. It is disadvantageous and problematic for users who want to use it. Therefore, since the payment status of the user is monitored in real time using the API 39 of the financial system 36 in step A10, it is possible to recognize in real time that the user has made a predetermined payment in step A11. In A12, immediately after the predetermined payment is made, the server 3 transmits an engine start relay control command corresponding to the startable state from the remote control instruction unit 31 to the corresponding vehicle-mounted device 1 to make the vehicle startable again. , And returns at step A13.
　車両２を起動不可状態とする際には、車両の運行状態を考慮する必要がある。すなわち、ユーザが車両で移動中に起動不可状態に切り替えた場合には、ユーザにとって過酷な状況が想定されるばかりではなく、他車両の交通を妨害する恐れがあるし、また、後述のように、車両の動力オン状態での外部リレーの起動不可状態への切り替えは車両の種類によっては不具合を生ずる恐れがあり、安全性の観点からも避けるべき条件が存在する。ここで、車両の運行状態をサーバ３が自動的に判断して、車両を起動不可状態に切り替える場合と、起動不可状態への切り替えを見送る場合について例を挙げて説明する。例えば、サーバ３は、車両から収集されたＧＰＳによる位置情報や車両の動力のオン・オフ情報により車両の運行状況を確認し、車両の動力がオフであり、かつ、車両が所定の駐車場にあることを条件として、車両が所定の駐車場に駐車中であると判断し、対応する車両２の車載器１に対して外部リレー２０を起動不可状態にするリレー制御指令を送信して、車両２を起動不可状態に切り替える。この場合には、車両２は所定の駐車場に駐車中であるので、他車両の交通を妨害する恐れがない。また、例えば、サーバ３は、車両の運行状況を確認し、車両の動力がオンであり、かつ、車両が所定の駐車場ではない場所にあるときには、ユーザが車両を利用中であると判断し、対応する車両の車載器１へ外部リレー２０を起動不可状態に切り替えるリレー制御指令を送信することを見送る。このように本発明では、後述のように車載器１が安全性の判断を行うように構成されているため、サーバ３における判断を比較的単純化することができる。 -When setting the vehicle 2 to the non-startable state, it is necessary to consider the operating state of the vehicle. That is, when the user switches to the unbootable state while moving in the vehicle, not only is a severe situation for the user assumed, but traffic of other vehicles may be disturbed, and as described later, The switching of the external relay to the non-startable state when the vehicle power is on may cause a problem depending on the type of vehicle, and there are conditions to be avoided from the viewpoint of safety. Here, a case where the server 3 automatically determines the operation state of the vehicle and switches the vehicle to the unstartable state and a case where the switching to the unstartable state is forgotten will be described as an example. For example, the server 3 confirms the operation status of the vehicle based on the GPS position information collected from the vehicle and the on / off information of the vehicle power, the vehicle power is off, and the vehicle is in a predetermined parking lot. On the condition that there is such a condition, it is determined that the vehicle is parked in a predetermined parking lot, and a relay control command for disabling the external relay 20 to the in-vehicle device 1 of the corresponding vehicle 2 is transmitted, Switch 2 to the unbootable state. In this case, since the vehicle 2 is parked in the predetermined parking lot, there is no risk of obstructing the traffic of other vehicles. Further, for example, the server 3 confirms the operation status of the vehicle, and determines that the user is using the vehicle when the power of the vehicle is on and the vehicle is not in a predetermined parking lot. , Sending off the relay control command for switching the external relay 20 to the non-startable state to the vehicle-mounted device 1 of the corresponding vehicle. As described above, according to the present invention, since the vehicle-mounted device 1 is configured to make the safety judgment as described later, the judgment in the server 3 can be relatively simplified.
　ここでは、各ユーザから所定の期間内に所定の料金の支払いがあったかどうかの判断、ユーザへのメッセージの送信、車両の運行状態の判断、起動不可状態及び起動可能状態に対応するリレー制御指令の送信の判断、並びに、盗難発生時や異常発生時のユーザへの問い合わせ及び警察への通報等を全てサーバで自動的に行う例を説明したが、この判断の中、一部又は全部を管理者が管理者端末３５からマニュアルで行うようにしてもよい。 Here, it is judged whether each user has paid a predetermined fee within a predetermined period, a message is sent to the user, the operation status of the vehicle is judged, and a relay control command corresponding to the unstartable state and the startable state is issued. We have explained an example in which the server automatically determines the transmission, inquires to the user and reports to the police when a theft occurs or an abnormality occurs. May be performed manually from the administrator terminal 35.
　本実施形態では、車両２をリースする場合を例示したが、本実施形態はリースの場合に限定されるものではなく、例えばカーレンタルやカーシェアの場合にも適用可能である。カーレンタルないしカーシェアの場合には、遠隔制御指令に施錠指令及び解錠指令が含まれ、ユーザ情報管理部３８は、ユーザ端末３７との通信により車両の予約を管理し、予約状況及び支払状況に対応して、ユーザ端末３７へドアロックキー情報を送信すると共に、ユーザ端末３７から施錠指令及び解錠指令を受け付ける。車載器１は、遠隔制御指令としての施錠指令及び解錠指令に基づいて、車両２のドアロックキーの施錠及び解錠を制御する。 In the present embodiment, the case of leasing the vehicle 2 has been illustrated, but the present embodiment is not limited to the case of leasing, and can be applied to the case of car rental or car sharing, for example. In the case of car rental or car sharing, the remote control command includes a lock command and an unlock command, and the user information management unit 38 manages the reservation of the vehicle by communicating with the user terminal 37, and the reservation status and payment status. Corresponding to, the door lock key information is transmitted to the user terminal 37, and a lock command and an unlock command are received from the user terminal 37. The vehicle-mounted device 1 controls the locking and unlocking of the door lock key of the vehicle 2 based on the locking and unlocking commands as remote control commands.
