  Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted as necessary for clarification of the description.

<Embodiment 1 of the Invention>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a mobile rental system according to the present embodiment. The mobile rental system according to the present embodiment includes a rental management system 1 and a mobile 6. The moving body 6 is lent out to the user. The management system 1 and the mobile unit 6 can communicate with each other via the communication network 7. The communication network 7 is, for example, a wired LAN (Local Area Network), a wireless LAN, a network of a communication carrier, the Internet, or a combination thereof.

  The moving body 6 has a moving mechanism 60 and is configured to be able to travel with a person on it. The moving mechanism 60 includes a grounding element such as a wheel and a leg link, and a driving unit such as a motor or an engine for driving the grounding element. In facilities such as shopping malls, a maximum speed that assists walking is required, so an electric parallel motorcycle, an electric wheelchair, an electric cart, or the like may be used as the moving body 6. However, the moving body 6 may be another vehicle such as an automobile or a motorcycle. Moreover, in this Embodiment, the mobile body 6 may be a vehicle which does not have a drive part like a bicycle, for example.

  Furthermore, the moving body 6 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a position detection unit 61 and a wireless communication unit 62. The position detection unit 61 detects the current position of the moving body 6 and generates position information indicating the current position. The current position may be detected using any of various known methods. In the present embodiment, it is only necessary to obtain a positioning accuracy that can identify the store where the mobile body 6 is located. For example, the position detection unit 61 may include a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver and detect the current position by the GPS receiver. Further, the position detection unit 61 may perform position detection by collating the reception results of wireless signals from a plurality of wireless LAN access points with a database that records the arrangement of wireless access points. Further, the position detection unit 61 may use the access point ID included in the received signal from the wireless LAN access point with the strongest reception power as its own position information. For example, if a wireless LAN access point is arranged at each store, the access point ID can be used as location information for specifying the store where the mobile unit 6 is currently located. Moreover, the position detection part 61 may acquire the odometry of the wheel as a grounding element of the moving body 6, and may estimate the position of the moving body 6 using an odometry.

  The wireless communication unit 62 is configured to be able to communicate with the rental management system 1 via the communication network 7. The wireless communication unit 62 may be a transceiver that conforms to a known wireless communication method, for example, wireless LAN, WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), or cdma2000. .

  The display unit 63 acquires information about a nearby store (hereinafter referred to as “nearby store information”) transmitted from the management system 1 via the wireless communication unit 62, and the nearby store information is recognized by the user by at least one of vision and hearing. Is displayed. The display unit 63 may be a display, a speaker, or a combination thereof. Details of the neighboring store information will be described later.

  Next, each element included in the rental management system 1 will be described. The communication interface 10 is connected to the communication network 7 and performs data transmission / reception. The position information acquisition unit 11 acquires the position information of the moving body 6 via the communication network 7 and the communication interface 10. As described above, the position information of the moving body 6 includes information (latitude / longitude obtained by GPS, access point ID, etc.) sufficient to specify the store where the moving body 6 is located. The position information of the mobile body 6 may be acquired from, for example, a position information providing server managed by a communication carrier or the like.

  The current store determination unit 12 determines the current store where the mobile body 6 is located based on the position information. For example, when the position information of the moving body 6 indicates the latitude / longitude obtained by GPS, the current store determination unit 12 may determine the current store by checking the map information. A map API (Application Programming Interface) that can be used on the Internet may be used to determine the current store based on the latitude and longitude obtained by GPS. When the position information of the mobile unit 6 indicates the wireless LAN access point ID, the current store determination unit 12 may determine the current store based on information that defines the correspondence between the access point ID and the store. Information that defines the correspondence between the access point ID and the store may be stored in the store database 13 described later. Note that the current store determined by the current store determination unit 12 does not have to be a store in which the moving body 6 is strictly located at the time of determination, and a store in which the moving body 6 has been positioned in the past (a store that has passed in the past). It may be.

  The store database 13 holds location information and attribute information of a plurality of stores (for example, stores in a shopping mall). The store location information may be latitude / longitude, address, postal code, store booth number in a shopping mall, or the like. Store attribute information is an identifier for classifying stores based on the type of business, products handled, services that can be provided, and the like. The attribute information may be an identifier determined based on the similarity of at least one of the store business type, the handling product, and the service that can be provided. For example, identifiers based on products and available services such as “Women's clothing”, “Men's clothing”, “Food”, “Books”, “Pharmaceuticals”, “Restaurant” are determined, and these identifiers are determined. A corresponding one may be assigned to each store.

  3A to 3D show specific examples of data held in the store database 13. In the example of FIG. 3A, “address” is used as store location information, and “industry code” representing the store's business type is used as attribute information. In the example of FIG. 3B, “zip code” is used as store location information, and “product / service code” representing a product / service provided at the store is used as attribute information. In the example of FIG. 3C, “latitude / longitude” is used as store location information, and “industry code” representing the store's business type is used as attribute information. Finally, in the example of FIG. 3D, a “product / service that represents a product / service provided at the store using a“ booth symbol ”that can identify the location of the store in the shopping mall is used as the location information of the store. "Code" is used as attribute information.

  The store database 13 only needs to be accessible from the management system 1. In the example of FIG. 1, the store database 13 is arranged in the management system 1, but such an arrangement is an example. For example, the store database 13 may be arranged on an external server that can be accessed by the management system 1 via a communication network. Further, the store location information and the store attribute information may be held in separate storage devices that are physically separated. The management entities of these separate storage devices may be different.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the description will be continued. The neighboring store determination unit 14 has an attribute related to the current store determined by the current store determination unit 12 by accessing the store database 13 and satisfies a predetermined distance condition with the location of the current store. Determine nearby stores. The neighboring store determination unit 14 may determine a store that satisfies a predetermined distance condition with the current position of the mobile body instead of the current store location. As described above, when the store where the mobile unit 6 is located in the past is determined as the current store, it is more accurate to select a store close to the mobile unit 6 by using the current location of the mobile unit 6 to determine a neighboring store. It is considered possible.

  To describe a specific example, the neighboring store determination unit 14 may select a store having attribute information that is the same as or similar to the attribute information of the current store with respect to the store attribute. The similarity of store attributes may be determined in advance based on consumer preferences, purchase trends, and the like. In addition, regarding the distance condition, for example, the distance may be within a predetermined distance range centering on the current store location or the current position of the moving body 6. As another example, the distance condition may be the closest location from the current location of the current store or the current position of the moving body 6.

  The information transmission unit 15 transmits information (neighboring store information) related to the neighboring store determined by the neighboring store determination unit 14 to the moving body 6 via the communication interface 10 and the communication network 7. The nearby store information only needs to include information that allows the user of the moving body 6 to recognize the name, location, and the like of the nearby store. For example, the nearby store information may be audio information or video information that guides the name and location of the nearby store. In addition, the neighboring store information may include advertisement information such as introduction of handled products and sale information. The neighboring store information may be held in the store database 13 or may be arranged in a remote storage device (not shown). Further, the transmission of the neighboring store information may be performed by an information distribution system different from the management system 1.

  The fee calculation unit 16 calculates a rental fee for the moving body 6. The charge calculation unit 16 calculates the rental charge of the mobile unit 6 based on the charge standard (charge table) using the rental time, the travel distance of the mobile object, etc. as an index, as is done in the known rental charge calculation. do it. Furthermore, the fee calculation unit 16 according to the present embodiment calculates the rental fee of the mobile unit 6 in accordance with the provision of the nearby store information to the mobile unit 6 when calculating the rental rate of the mobile unit 6. Perform discount processing to reduce the amount. The amount of reduction in the rental fee is appropriately determined from an economic perspective, depending on the amount of money collected from nearby store operators, shopping mall operators, etc. as consideration for providing nearby store information and installing mobile rental systems. It is an established matter.

  The payment of the rental fee calculated by the fee calculation unit 16 may be performed using a known payment method. For example, the electronic payment processing of the rental fee may be performed by credit card, electronic money, bank account debit, or the like. The rental fee may be paid by cash payment when the mobile unit 6 is returned.

  Next, a specific example of rental fee discount processing by the management system 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure of rental fee discount processing by the management system 1. In step S <b> 10, the position information acquisition unit 11 acquires position information of the moving body 6. In step S <b> 11, the current store determination unit 12 determines the current store based on the position information of the moving body 6. In step S12, the nearby store determination unit 14 accesses the store database 13 to determine a nearby store that satisfies predetermined conditions regarding attributes and distances with the current store. In step S <b> 13, the information transmission unit 15 transmits neighboring store information to the mobile body 6. In step S <b> 14, the fee calculation unit 16 performs a discount process for reducing the rental fee of the mobile unit 6 in accordance with the transmission of the nearby store information to the mobile unit 6.

  As described above, the mobile rental system according to the present embodiment has attributes related to the store where the user who rented the mobile 6 has stopped (for example, the similarity of the store's business type, products handled, or available service). ) And satisfying a predetermined distance condition (for example, within a predetermined distance range from the store visited or closest to the store visited) can be provided to the mobile unit 6. The user can recognize information on neighboring stores via the display unit 63 of the moving body 6. That is, in this embodiment, information on nearby stores that are highly relevant to the store on which the user has boarded the mobile object 6 can be applied to the user, and thus the use of the mobile object 6 is continued. It can arouse the motivation of users.

  By the way, in the above description, in order to determine the store (current store) where the mobile body 6 is currently located or located in the past, an example in which the position detection unit 61 is arranged on the mobile body 6 has been shown. However, for example, it is also possible to recognize that a specific mobile body 6 has arrived at a specific store by receiving a wireless signal transmitted from the mobile body 6 by a wireless reception device installed in the store. In this case, it is not necessary to arrange the position detector 61 on the moving body 6.

  FIG. 4 shows the management system 1 modified so that the wireless LAN access point 80 installed in the store determines the current store by receiving the transmission signal of the mobile unit 6. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a procedure of rental fee discount processing by the rental management system shown in FIG. When the access point 80 detects the presence of the moving body 6 by receiving the transmission signal of the moving body 6, the access point 80 transmits its own access point ID to the management system 1. The AP information acquisition unit 17 included in the management system 1 in FIG. 4 acquires the access point ID notified from the access point 80 via the communication network 7 and the communication interface 10 (step S20 in FIG. 5). The current store determination unit 12 determines the current store using the access point ID acquired by the AP information acquisition unit 17 (step S21 in FIG. 5). The processing contents in steps S12 to S14 of FIG. 5 are the same as S12 to S14 shown in FIG.
