Description

  The present invention relates to an abandoned bicycle management system and method for performing management such as warning, removal, and storage of a bicycle left in a bicycle abandonment prohibited area such as in front of a station.

Traditionally, local governments have taken measures such as warnings and removal of bicycles illegally left in areas where bicycles are prohibited.
As a general countermeasure, the bicycle organizer first looks around the area where no bicycles are allowed to leave, and if an illegally left bicycle is found, a tag indicating the warning or warning is attached, and the warning tag is attached. For bicycles that are judged to be malicious, such as bicycles that remain attached, stick a tag that states the removal warning.
Next, under the presence of a person in charge of removal, such as a local official, the removal contractor etc. transports the abandoned bicycle, to which the removal warning tag is attached, by truck, and a predetermined bicycle storage location. Move to.

  In consideration of such a countermeasure against a neglected bicycle, in Patent Document 1, when checking an illegally neglected bicycle, an individual RFID tag or IC chip identification tag affixed in advance or at the time of check is individually transmitted for each bicycle. The identification information is read by a portable terminal, and 1 is added to the number of confirmations of leaving the vehicle to be confirmed, and the bicycle is determined to be a removal vehicle only when the number of confirmations of leaving reaches the number of removal decisions.

Also, in Patent Document 2, information on a sign that a bicycle owner is obligated to attach and integrate at a predetermined location of a specific bicycle in the presence of a specific bicycle provider is directly input to a terminal or read. Enter the information mechanically on the machine and use a communication means such as a telephone line or Internet communication to access the storage medium that stores the information that links the specific bicycle information and the owner information to determine the identity of the specific bicycle. I have to.

Next, a parked bicycle management system and method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the parked bicycle management system according to the present embodiment has a management server 1 of an IDC center (Internet data center), a wireless IC tag 2, and a function of reading information of the wireless IC tag 2. The management server 1 includes a reading terminal 3 (3A, 3B, 3C), and the management server 1 is wirelessly or wired between the reading terminal 3, a local government server such as a bicycle countermeasure section of the local government, and a bicycle user's PC 4 or mobile phone 5. It is comprised so that communication can be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the management server 1 includes a communication unit 11 that communicates with the outside, an input unit 12 that receives various inputs from an operator, a display unit 13 such as a display, and a control that controls the entire management server. A unit 14 and a storage unit 15 are provided.

The management server 1 is connected to the bicycle user's PC 4, mobile phone 5, reading terminal 3, local government server, and the like by the communication unit 11. In order to ensure this, it is preferable to provide an unillustrated F / W (firewall).
Further, when communicating with the reading terminal 3, the communication unit 11 confirms the telephone number of the reading terminal 3 that has made a call, and communication is performed only when the call is made from a pre-registered telephone number. To do. As a result, unauthorized entry by a third party can be prevented and unauthorized access to registered personal information of a bicycle user can be prevented.

Since the management server 1 is configured as described above, first, the wireless IC tag use registration from the bicycle user's PC 4 or mobile phone 5 is received by the communication unit 11, and the registered user information is stored in the storage unit 15. Store.
This registration may be accepted by mail or telephone. In this case, the operator inputs from the input unit 12.

  In addition, when a bicycle left in a bicycle-free zone is found with the bicycle organizer terminal 3A, which is a reading terminal 3 carried by a bicycle organizer who organizes the bicycle or looks around the state of neglect, etc. Inquires about the number of warnings to the user so far and accepts warning or removal registration.

In addition, with the removal person terminal 3B, which is the reading terminal 3 carried by the person in charge of removal who has authority to remove the bicycle, such as a local government employee, the removal registration is accepted when the removal is performed.
Moreover, a situation report, statistical data, etc. are transmitted to a local government server, when removal is performed.

  In addition, a user of the stored bicycle is in contact with the storage staff terminal 3C, which is the reading terminal 3 carried by the storage location manager in charge of bicycle management in the bicycle storage location for storing the removed bicycle. When you come to pick up, or when you store your bicycle for recycling or disposal, you can provide information such as the storage location of the target bicycle, and accept registration of return, disposal, and recycling Or

As shown in FIG. 3, the wireless IC tag (bicycle specifying means) 2 includes an IC chip (user information storage unit) 21 and an antenna (wireless response unit) 22, and reads radio waves from the reading terminal 3. In response, the response radio wave is transmitted by the energy of the electromagnetic wave according to the information stored in the IC chip 21. As a result, the reading terminal 3 can wirelessly read information in the IC chip.
The information stored in the IC chip 21 is only the registration number (bicycle specifying information) when the bicycle user performs the wireless IC tag use registration with the management server 1. Thereby, even if a third party reads information in the wireless IC tag 2, it is possible to prevent personal information of the bicycle user from leaking.

The wireless IC tag 2 is preferably attached to the bicycle so as to hang down in a direction away from the frame, as shown in FIG.
The reason is that the energy of electromagnetic waves is used for reading data from the wireless IC tag 2, and therefore the energy of electromagnetic waves is reflected by the metal of the frame when it is attached to the surface of the metal frame.

In addition, by determining the attachment position and angle to the bicycle in advance by the local government or the like, the reading operation can be smoothly performed by the reading terminal 3 for many bicycles.
In addition, if the attachment place which can clear the problem reflected by this metal is predetermined, the attachment place to a bicycle is not limited to the position shown in FIG. 3, Arbitrary positions are decided by the local government etc. It's okay.

Regarding the attachment of the wireless IC tag 2 to the bicycle, it is preferable that as many as possible, if possible, all the bicycles are attached. The reason is that the more bicycles that are not attached can apply the management by the neglected bicycle management system as this embodiment to many bicycles.
For this reason, it is preferable to promote the attachment of the wireless IC tag 2 in some form by the local government or the like. For example, some privilege or other convenient point by attaching the wireless IC tag 2 is provided, or the local government is ordinarily attached to all bicycles. A method such as making it obligatory can be considered.

As shown in FIG. 4, the reading terminal 3 is configured by connecting an IC tag reader 31 to a PC card receiving unit 321 of a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) 32 by a PC card type connection unit 314 by a PC card method.
In other words, when the IC tag reader 31 is connected, the connected PDA 32 functions as a reading terminal provided with reading means for the wireless IC tag 2.

  The IC tag reader 31 includes a wireless reading unit (reading unit) 311 that wirelessly reads user information (registration number) stored in the wireless IC tag 2 and necessary information for connecting to the management server 1 (the management server 1 A management server connection unit 312 for storing address information and the like, a storage unit 313, and the PC card type connection unit 314 described above.

The storage unit 313 stores the terminal ID 313a, and this makes it clear to the management server 1 who the reading terminal 3 is in charge of when communicating with the management server 1.
For this reason, it is possible to prevent unauthorized use of the reading terminal 3 by a third party, or to perform a post-survey of problems such as a case where an erroneous operation is performed by a person in charge.

The PDA 32 includes the PC card receiving unit 321 described above, a position information acquiring unit 322 that acquires the current position information of the PDA 32 using GPS (Global Positioning Systems), a control unit 323 that controls the entire apparatus, and a display such as a liquid crystal screen. A unit 324 and a wireless communication unit 325 are provided.
Since the IC tag reader 31 stores the above-described terminal ID and the PDA 32 includes the position information acquisition unit 322 and can identify an area where the PDA is currently used, the reading terminal 3 is used as the terminal ID. By transmitting the position information to the management server 1 (not shown), the management server 1 can check the usage status of the reading terminal 3 more accurately.

FIG. 5 shows storage information in the reading terminal 3 and the management server 1.
As shown in FIG. 5, the management server 1 associates the registration number in the wireless IC tag use registration with the registration date, the correction date and correction item when there is a correction, and the wireless IC tag 2. Information on the user who uses the bicycle with the attached, status flag indicating the status of the bicycle, information about the bicycle (type, color, manufacturer, model name, serial number, etc.) and if it has been removed A storage location code for storing the removed bicycle, the number of warnings so far (number of parking violation warnings) and the latest warning date and time, the number of previous removals and the latest date and time of removal are stored in the storage unit 15.
In addition, a terminal ID (terminal user identification information) of the reading terminal 3, person-in-charge information associated with each terminal ID (name, person-in-person number, place code in charge, and the like) and a theft report have been issued. Stores the registration number of the bicycle.

The reading terminal 3 stores the registration number read from the wireless IC tag 2 and the terminal ID unique to the reading terminal 3 in the storage unit 313, and makes an inquiry to the management server 1 so that the bicycle status flag, the number of warnings And the latest warning date and time are stored.
Further, when the reading terminal 3 transmits the read registration number to the management server 1, does the management server 1 match the registration number among the registration numbers of the bicycles for which the theft notification has been issued? If there is a match, it is notified that it is a stolen car.

The above-mentioned user information includes at least one of the user's address, telephone number, FAX number, and e-mail address, and is registered in advance and stored in the management server 1. It is used as notification information that enables notification of a warning or removal.
For this reason, preferably, the postal code, address, name, telephone number, FAX number, PC mail address, and mobile phone mail address are registered and stored as user information.

The status flag is stored by the management server 1 while being updated in accordance with the registration from the reading terminal 3, for example, as shown in FIG.
That is, for example, when an inquiry result indicating that there is a match among the registration numbers of the bicycles for which theft notification has been issued as described above with respect to the registration number transmitted to the management server 1, the status flag Is updated to the theft report and is sent to the reading terminal 3.

Next, the operation of the abandoned bicycle management system as this embodiment will be described.
First, an operation when a registered bicycle is left in a bicycle prohibited area and a warning notification is given to the user of the bicycle will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

A user who intends to attach the wireless IC tag 2 to the bicycle first purchases the wireless IC tag 2 and registers the use of the wireless IC tag with the management server 1 of the IDC center (step S1).
The wireless IC tag 2 may be purchased, for example, by purchasing it from a bicycle store when purchasing a new bicycle, and reporting it to the local government when attaching the bicycle to an already used bicycle.
Further, the registration from the user to the management server 1 may be a method of registration from a homepage such as a local government via a network as shown in FIG. 6, or may be registration by mail or FAX. When a registration method that does not use a network such as mail or FAX is used, the operator of the IDC center inputs registration contents from the input unit 12 of the management server 1.

  When the bicycle organizer finds out that the bicycle with the wireless IC tag 2 attached in a predetermined position is left in a bicycle-forbidden area, the bicycle organizer will have his own bicycle organizer terminal. The read radio wave is transmitted to the wireless IC tag 2 of the illegally parked bicycle by 3A, and the registration number stored in the wireless IC tag 2 is acquired by the response radio wave (step S2).

When the registration number of the illegally parked bicycle is acquired in this way, the bicycle organizer terminal 3A automatically connects the communication line to the management server 1 and inquires about the violation history for the registration number (step S3).
Here, when the violation history transmitted from the management server 1 to the bicycle organizer terminal 3A is determined not to be removed, for example, when the number of warnings is 0, that is, when it is the first offense ( In step S4), the bicycle organizer performs warning registration for the bicycle parking violation (illegal neglect) from the bicycle organizer terminal 3A to the management server 1 (step S5).

When the management server 1 receives this warning registration, if the bicycle user's e-mail address (address information) is registered in the management server 1 as user information, an e-mail that notifies the e-mail address of the warning Is transmitted (step S6).
When the bicycle user's e-mail address is not registered as user information, the management server 1 displays the user information of the user on the display unit 13 as information for notifying the user. When the user information is displayed as an unregistered mail address, the IDC center staff issues a warning notification by an appropriate means such as mail, telephone, or fax based on the display.

  When the warning notification is performed in this way, when the bicycle organizer finds the illegal neglect and registers a warning message from the bicycle organizer terminal 3A in the management server 1, if the email address is registered, the warning email is immediately issued. Is sent, and even if the e-mail address is not registered, the staff can respond immediately and can make a warning notice quickly.

Further, when the registration number is transmitted from the bicycle organizer terminal 3A to the management server 1 and the violation history is inquired in step S3 described above, the management server 1 checks the violation history from the storage unit 15 and a theft notification is issued. Check if it matches the bicycle registration number.
When the registration number read at the time of this collation matches the registration number of the bicycle for which the theft notification has been issued, a status flag that has been reported to the theft is transmitted to the bicycle organizer terminal 3A, and the stolen vehicle Notify the police that is found.

  In general, stolen bicycles are often left in areas where bicycles are prohibited, such as in front of the station, so if the registration number matches, the police will be notified to help early detection of the stolen bicycle. You can also In addition, as a result, it is possible to prompt the user of the bicycle to pick up the bicycle as a result as a result, so that it is possible to effectively deal with the arrangement of the bicycle. .

Next, an operation in the case where a registered bicycle is left in a bicycle abandonment prohibited area and the bicycle is removed will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
Here, the operation in which the bicycle organizer finds the bicycle left unattended and obtains the registration number (step S11) and inquires the management server 1 about the violation history for the registration number (step S12) is as described above with reference to FIG. This is the same operation as steps S2 and S3 in the flowchart, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  In this way, when the violation history transmitted from the management server 1 to the bicycle organizer terminal 3A exceeds the predetermined number of warnings to be removed, it is determined that it should be included in the removal target. In this case (step S13), the bicycle organizer performs a removal request registration of the bicycle with respect to the management server 1 from its own bicycle organizer terminal 3A (step S14).

In the case of removal, under the presence of a person in charge of removal, such as a staff member of the municipality, a removal contractor or the like transports the bicycle to be removed by truck.
The person in charge of removal first transmits a radio wave read from his / her person in charge of removal 3B to the wireless IC tag 2 of the bicycle to be removed, and obtains a registration number stored in the wireless IC tag 2 by a response radio wave ( Step S15).

When the registration number of the removal target bicycle is acquired in this way, the removal person in charge terminal 3B automatically connects the communication line to the management server 1, confirms the removal request for the registration number, and removes the bicycle from now on. Register. Further, the person in charge of removal inputs the number of the truck in charge of removal, and the information of the truck in charge of removal is also transmitted to the management server 1 (step S16).
The storage location where the removed bicycle is transported and stored can be specified by the information of the removal truck.

When the management server 1 receives this removal registration, if the bicycle user's e-mail address (address information) is registered in the management server 1 as user information, it is conveyed to the e-mail address that the e-mail is removed. An e-mail notifying that the storage location information and the collection are urged is transmitted, and at the same time, the removal location and the conveyed storage location information are transmitted as data to the local government server (step S17).
Regarding notification to a bicycle user, when the email address of the bicycle user is not registered as user information, the management server 1 displays the user information of the user as information for notification to the user. Displayed on the unit 13. When the user information is displayed as an unregistered e-mail address, the IDC Center staff prompts the user to pick up the removal and the storage location information conveyed by appropriate means such as mail, telephone, or fax. Notify that.

  When the removal notification is made in this way, when the removal target bicycle is loaded on the truck, if the email address is registered, the removal notification email as described above is sent immediately and the email address is not registered. The staff can respond immediately, and can promptly notify the user of removal, storage location, and prompting the collection.

After the bicycle is removed and stored in the bicycle storage location, when the user of the bicycle comes to pick up, the storage location manager of the bicycle storage location inputs the required contents into his / her storage staff terminal 3C. Then, the management server 1 is inquired about the target bicycle (step S18).
Upon receiving this inquiry, the management server 1 searches the storage unit 15 to acquire information on the target bicycle, and transmits the registration number of the target bicycle and the stored position information to the storage staff terminal 3C (step S19). .

When the storage location manager obtains the location information where the target bicycle is stored by the storage staff terminal 3C in this way, the storage location manager transmits a radio wave read from the storage staff terminal 3C to the wireless IC tag 2 of the target bicycle, and responds. The registration number stored in the wireless IC tag 2 is acquired by radio waves (step S20).
After confirming the registration number in this manner, the storage staff terminal 3C automatically connects the communication line to the management server 1 and performs return registration for the registration number (step S21).

  The operations in steps S18 to S21 described above are the same even when the bicycle stored in the bicycle storage place is sent for disposal or recycling. For example, in the case of disposal, the bicycle to be disposed is inquired in step S18. When the position information of the disposal target bicycle is acquired in step S19 and the registration number of the disposal target bicycle is read from the wireless IC tag 2 in step S20, the storage staff terminal 3C automatically performs disposal registration as step S21. .

As described above, according to the abandoned bicycle management system as the present embodiment, it is possible to quickly inquire user information of a neglected bicycle and to immediately send a warning mail to the user or to notify a warning by a staff member. The display unit 13 can display user information on the display unit 13, and even when a bicycle that has been neglected is removed, a display unit can immediately send a removal notification email to the user of the bicycle or notify the removal by a staff member. 13 can display user information.
For this reason, it is possible to contribute to the reduction of the cost of countermeasures against neglected bicycles in local governments.

  Moreover, the registration number of the bicycle recognized as theft due to the theft report is stored, and an inquiry is made as to whether there is a match when the registration number is transmitted from the bicycle organizer terminal 3A. Thus, even when a stolen car is found, the police can be notified immediately, and effective measures can be taken for both returning the stolen car and taking measures against neglected bicycles.

Further, as another embodiment of the parked bicycle management system according to the present invention, it can be applied to the management of entering and leaving a bicycle parking lot as shown in FIG.
In the application example to this bicycle parking lot, as shown in FIG. 8, the entrance / exit gate of the bicycle parking lot has a reading means for the wireless IC tag 2, and the entrance / exit gate, the commuter pass issuing terminal, and the display device are connected to the IDC center. It is connected to the management server 1 and configured.

With this configuration, the entry / exit gate transmits a read radio wave to the wireless IC tag 2 attached to the bicycle that is about to enter or exit the bicycle parking lot, acquires a registration number, and manages the registration number based on the radio wave. The server 1 is inquired to confirm whether or not the time limit of the commuter pass issued by the commuter pass issuing terminal is valid.
If the commuter pass is valid, pass the bicycle as it is, for example, if the expiry date has expired, the display device will display an urge to renew the commuter pass, and the entry / exit gate will block the entry / exit of the bicycle I do.

  According to another embodiment, bicycle parking fee management can be easily realized using the wireless IC tag 2 described above.

Each of the above-described embodiments is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, it was explained that a warning is issued when illegally neglected for the first time and the number of warnings to be removed is exceeded. May be any number of times.
