Then, in step 410, a notification of the completion of the member registration and a report of the receipt of the IC card are received from the person who desires the member registration (service user 30).
At 12, a selection of a car to be used is received from a person who wishes to register as a member (service user 30). When the selection of the car to be used is received, in step 414, the service user 30 is inquired as to whether or not to receive a service other than the car use service.
, The service providing management company 60 presents to the service user 30 the contents of services of each support company other than the car use service.

When the contents of the services of the respective support companies other than the car use service are presented in step 416, the service other than the car use service specified by the service user 30 is received in step 418. When a service other than the car use service is received in step 418, the service user 30 is notified in step 420 that the service other than the car use service specified by the service user 30 can be provided (service use). Registration). Then, step 42
In 2, the service user 30 lends a desired car to the service user 30 and ends the flow.

Next, a description will be given of setting of a boarding driving environment form using an IC card after receiving a car use service, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG.

First, in step 502, when the engine is started (Ig key ON), it is determined in step 504 whether an IC card is set in the vehicle-mounted device 40 of the vehicle. If it is determined in step 504 that the IC card is not set in the vehicle-mounted device 40 of the automobile, the processing flow ends. Also,
In this step 504, I
If it is determined that the C card is set, step 6
At 00, an IC card confirmation process is performed.

The details of the IC card confirmation processing in step 600 are shown in FIG. That is, when the IC card is inserted into the vehicle-mounted device 40 in step 602, an input request for an authentication number (ID code number), which is a member number, is made in step 604. When an input request for an authentication number (ID code number) is made in step 604, an input of the authentication number (ID code number) is made in step 606.
In, it is determined whether or not the input authentication number matches the authentication number (ID code number) recorded on the IC card. If it is determined that the authentication number has been correctly input, in step 610, personal information data for specifying the driver is registered in the vehicle-mounted device 40. If it is determined in step 608 that the authentication number has not been correctly input, it is determined in step 612 whether the number of input errors of the authentication number has reached a prescribed number. If the number of authentication number input errors has not reached the prescribed number in step 614, step 60
Returning to step 4, if it is determined in step 614 that the number of input errors of the authentication number has reached the specified number, a warning is displayed in step 616.

When the IC card confirmation processing is performed in step 600 in this way, in step 506, the personal information for specifying the driver recorded on the IC card is read via the vehicle-mounted device 40 of the automobile.
When the personal information is read in step 506, it is determined in step 508 whether or not the driver recorded on the IC card inserted in the vehicle-mounted device 40 is the same as the driver who took the vehicle last time. This step 50
If it is determined in step 8 that the driver recorded on the IC card inserted in the vehicle-mounted device 40 of the automobile is not the same as the driver who got on last time, the flow ends. If it is determined in step 508 that the driver recorded on the IC card inserted in the vehicle-mounted device 40 is the same as the driver who got on the vehicle last time, step 510 is performed.
In step (2), the user goes to read the driving environment configuration data (set values of the riding driving environment configuration items) recorded in the IC card. When the ride driving environment form data is read in step 510, it is determined in step 512 whether the read driving IC card stores the ride driving environment form data (set values of the ride driving environment form items). I do. If it is determined in step 512 that the boarding environment data is not stored in the IC card, the process proceeds to step 520. If it is determined in step 512 that the boarding driving environment form data is stored in the IC card, in step 514, the boarding driving environment form data (setting value of the boarding driving environment form items) stored in the IC card is changed. The information is read out by the in-vehicle device 40 of the automobile, and the settings of each device are performed.

When setting of each device is performed in step 514, in step 516, the device to be adjusted (the setting device of all riding driving environment forms that can be set by the driver)
It is determined whether or not the set value of has been changed. This step 5
If it is determined in step 16 that the set value of the adjustment target device is not changed, the process proceeds to step 526. Step 5
If it is determined in step 16 that the set value of the device to be adjusted has been changed, it is determined in step 518 whether or not the contents of the boarding driving environment form data (setting values of the boarding driving environment form items) stored in the IC card are to be rewritten. I do. If it is determined in step 518 that the contents of the boarding driving environment form data (setting values of the boarding driving environment form items) stored in the IC card are to be rewritten, step 520 is performed.
In, the contents of the boarding driving environment form data (set values of the boarding driving environment form items) stored in the IC card are rewritten to the currently set boarding driving environment form data, and the routine proceeds to step 526.

If it is determined in step 518 that the contents of the boarding driving environment form data (set values of the boarding driving environment form items) stored in the IC card are not to be rewritten, in step 522, the data already stored in the IC card is stored. It is determined whether or not the data is to be written to a different memory area different from the memory area of the current riding driving environment configuration data (setting value of the riding driving environment configuration items). If it is determined in step 522 that the data is not to be written in another memory area different from the already stored memory area, the flow ends.

If it is determined in step 522 that data is to be written in a memory area different from the memory area already stored, in step 524, the set value of the adjustment target device whose set value has been changed is already stored in the IC card. The data is written in a different memory area from the memory area of the stored riding driving environment configuration data (setting value of the riding driving environment configuration items). In this step 524,
When the set value of the device to be adjusted whose setting value has been changed is written to the IC card, in step 526, when the engine is stopped (Ig key is turned off), the riding driving environment form data (riding driving environment data) stored in the IC card is stored. Is transmitted to the service providing management company 60, and the IC
The setting processing flow of the riding driving environment mode using the card is ended. When the IC card has a plurality of memory areas for the riding driving environment configuration data (setting values of the riding driving environment configuration items), for example, the first memory area stores the riding driving environment configuration data at the time of commuting. In addition, it is possible to store the riding driving environment configuration data for leisure in the second memory area and store the riding driving environment configuration data for shopping in the third memory area.
