When the motor rotationally drives the pinion in a predetermined direction in response to a control signal (unlocking instruction signal) from the control means 103A, the locking mechanism unit When the locking piece in 101 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, the motor rotates and rotates the pinion in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction in response to a control signal (locking instruction signal) from the control means 103A. The locking piece 101 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state. In the case of a bicycle locking piece, the locking state is a state in which the locking piece is inserted between the spokes of the front wheel or the rear wheel and interferes with the spoke, and the unlocking state is from between the spokes of the front wheel or the rear wheel. It is in a state where it is extracted and does not interfere with the spoke.

  In the determination means 104, the mobile phone device 10 or 10 ', the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, the remote control key 40, etc. are present in a predetermined area corresponding to the location of the user when using the vehicle. Whether or not. The term “within a predetermined area” as used herein can be defined as, for example, an in-vehicle area if the vehicle is a car, or a circle having a radius of about 50 cm to 100 cm centered on the position of the saddle if the vehicle is a bicycle.

Note that the communication means 115 and the determination means 104 also determine the signal strength at the time of communication so that it can be determined whether or not the predetermined area exists.
At this time, the determination means 104 of the present embodiment (first to fifth embodiments) determines whether the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) communicates with the base station to perform location registration or handover as described above. By using the communication signal transmitted from the device 10 (10 ′) or by communicating with the non-contact IC card function unit 13 in the mobile phone device 10 ′, the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) The mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) is determined whether or not it exists in the predetermined area using a dedicated weak signal transmitted from the mobile phone.

  In addition, as described above, the determination unit 104 according to the present embodiment communicates with the non-contact IC card function unit 23 in the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20 so that the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20 is within the predetermined area. It is determined whether or not it exists.

  Further, the determination means 104 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the remote control key 30 exists in the predetermined area by communicating with the non-contact type IC card function unit 33 in the remote control key 30 as described above. Is.

  Further, the determination means 104 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the remote control key 40 exists in the predetermined area by communicating with the non-contact type IC card function unit 43 in the remote control key 40 as described above. Is.

  More specifically, the determination unit 104 receives the communication signal for location registration and handover from the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′), and according to the signal strength of the received signal, the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′). It is determined whether or not is present in the predetermined area. The stronger the signal strength of the received signal, the closer the mobile phone devices 10 and 10 'are to the judgment means 104. Therefore, the judgment means 104 determines that the mobile phone devices 10 and 10 are in the case where the signal strength is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. It is determined that 'is present in the predetermined area.

  Further, the judging means 104 communicates with the non-contact type IC card function unit 13, 23, 33, 43, receives the return signal from the non-contact type IC card function unit 13, and according to the signal strength of the received signal, It is determined whether the physical condition management portable terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 are present within the predetermined area. Since the stronger the signal strength of the received signal, the closer to the judgment unit 104, the judgment unit 104 determines that the physical strength management portable terminal device 20, remote control key 30, remote control when the signal strength is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. It is determined that the key 40 exists in the predetermined area.

  Further, the signals from the mobile phone devices 10 and 10 ', the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 indicate that the user is identified by the biometric data value. A signal including a state flag (active state in the claim), a signal including a non-active state flag indicating that the user is not identified by the biometric data value (a state not in the active state in the claim, Or, a state that does not exist) is included. And the judgment means 104 performs control which switches a locking state with reference to this active state / inactive state flag, when the signal from each portable terminal is received.

  Then, it is determined that the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 are changed from the active state to the non-existing state within the predetermined area. If determined by the above, the control means 103A controls the switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102 so as to switch the locking mechanism unit 101 from the unlocked state to the locked state.

  On the other hand, it is determined that the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 have changed from being not in the predetermined area to being in an active state. And the signals from the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ', the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 are in the active state described above. When the determination is made, the control means 103A controls the switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102 so as to switch the locking mechanism unit 101 from the locked state to the unlocked state.

  In this case, it is desirable that the user touches the vicinity of the sensor portions of the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40.

  The determination means 104 determines whether or not the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 exist within the predetermined area. The previous determination result is held as a flag, for example, and the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, and the remote control key are based on the flag and the latest determination result. 30, the remote control key 40 has changed from being in the predetermined area (inside) to not being in the state (existing outside the predetermined area; outside), or the mobile phone device 10, 10 ′ is not in the predetermined area. It is possible to determine that the state (outside) that does not exist in the region has changed to the state (inside) that exists. This determination may be performed by the determination unit 104, or the control unit 103A may refer to the flag in the determination unit 104 and the latest determination result by the determination unit 104.

  Here, the configuration of the physical condition management portable terminal device 20 will be described with a focus on a portion for confirming or authenticating the identity of the user based on the biometric data value. In the same manner, the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 confirm or authenticate the identity of the user based on the biometric data value.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20 of the present embodiment can be changed by the user as described above. In addition to the biological sensor 22 and the GPS position detection unit 20GS, the weather sensor 20WS, the threshold table 20T, the CPU 25, the stop operation unit 26, the answer input unit 27, and the memory 20M are provided. Configured.

  The weather sensor 20WS predetermines at least one of temperature, water temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, water pressure, sunshine situation, and ultraviolet light amount as weather data in the user's atmosphere (where the user is located). In this embodiment, the temperature (or water temperature), the humidity, and the atmospheric pressure (or water pressure) are detected.

  The biosensor 22, the weather sensor 20WS, and the GPS position detection unit 20GS are built in or externally attached to the main body of the mobile terminal device 20, and are connected by wire or wirelessly via a cable or the like, and are detected at a predetermined cycle. The result is transmitted to the main body of the mobile terminal device 20.

  The threshold value table 20T holds biometric data threshold values for managing the physical condition of the user in advance for each weather condition, and is created and set by a function as a threshold value setting unit 251 of the CPU 25 described later. Thus, the portable terminal device 20 is stored and stored in a storage unit such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a hard disk.

  At this time, the biometric data threshold value differs depending on the user and also varies depending on the living environment, and is set for each user according to the weather conditions corresponding to the environment. For example, when the user is in a hot and humid environment based on the normal body temperature T0, blood pressure P0, and heart rate N0 of the user, the weather conditions are air temperature 25-30 ° C. and humidity 80% or more. The body temperature T1, blood pressure P1, and heart rate N1 are set as biological data threshold values for the time (weather condition 1), and the biological data threshold values when the weather condition is 30 to 35 ° C. and the humidity is 60% or more (the weather condition 2). Body temperature T2, blood pressure P2, and heart rate N2 are set, and body temperature T3, blood pressure P3, and heart rate N3 are set as biometric data threshold values when the weather conditions are 35 ° C. or higher and humidity 50% or higher. And when it is the weather condition 1 (weather condition 3), when any one or all of a user's actual body temperature T, blood pressure P, and heart rate N exceeded threshold value T1, P1, N1, When the weather condition 2 is met, any one or all of the user's actual body temperature T, blood pressure P, and heart rate N exceed the thresholds T2, P2, N2, and when the weather condition 3 is met, When any one or all of the actual body temperature T, blood pressure P, and heart rate N exceed the threshold values T3, P3, and N3, it is determined that the user's physical condition is abnormal (such as heat stroke).

  When the user is in a low temperature environment, body temperature T4 is set as a biometric data threshold when the weather condition is air temperature 0 to 10 ° C. (weather condition 4), and the weather condition is air temperature −10 to 0 ° C. The body temperature T5 is set as the biological data threshold value when the weather condition is (weather condition 5), and the body temperature T6 is set as the biological data threshold value when the weather condition is air temperature −10 ° C. or less (the weather condition 6). If the actual body temperature T of the user falls below the threshold value T4 when the weather condition is 4, and if the actual body temperature T of the user falls below the threshold value T5 when the weather condition is 5, the weather condition If the actual body temperature T of the user falls below the threshold value T6 when it is 6, it is determined that the user's physical condition is abnormal (such as hypothermia).

  Furthermore, when the user is in a high altitude (low atmospheric pressure) environment, heart rate N7 and respiratory rate K7 are set as biometric data thresholds when the weather conditions are atmospheric pressure A2 to A1 (weather condition 7), When the weather condition is atmospheric pressure A3 to A2 (meteorological condition 8), the heart rate N8 and the respiration rate K8 are set as biometric data thresholds, and the weather condition is a temperature of 35 ° C. or higher and a humidity of 50% or higher (weather condition 9 The heart rate N9 and the respiration rate N9 are set as biometric data threshold values. When the weather condition 7 is met, when one or both of the user's actual heart rate N and respiration rate K exceed the thresholds N7 and K7, and when the weather condition 8 is met, the user's actual heart rate When either or both of the number N and the respiratory rate K exceed the threshold values N8 and K8, and when the weather condition is 9, the user's actual heart rate N and / or the respiratory rate K is set to the threshold value. When N9 and K9 are exceeded, it is determined that the user's physical condition is abnormal (such as altitude sickness).

  In addition, when the user is bathing in sea water, bathing, etc., the body temperature T10, heart rate as the biometric data threshold when the weather conditions are water pressure W1-W2 and the water temperature is L2-L1 (meteorological condition 10) N10 is set, body temperature T11 and heart rate N11 are set as biometric data thresholds when the weather conditions are water pressure W2 to W3 and the water temperature is L3 to L2 (weather condition 11), the weather condition is water pressure W3 or more and the water temperature is Body temperature T12 and heart rate N12 are set as biometric data threshold values when L3 or less (weather condition 12). When the weather condition 10 is met, either or both of the user's actual body temperature T and heart rate N falls below the thresholds T10 and N10, and when the weather condition 11 is met, the user's actual body temperature T When one or both of the heart rate N falls below the threshold values T11 and N11, and when the weather condition is 12, the user's actual body temperature T and / or one of the heart rate N is set to the threshold values T12 and N12. If it falls below, it is determined that the user's physical condition is abnormal.

Further, whether or not the user is the user as shown in the following (a) to (i) by whether or not the physical condition management portable terminal device 20 is attached or removed, and comparison with the above-described biometric data threshold value. Identification becomes possible.
(a) No change in biometric data value with device attached (within same threshold range):
(b) Slow changes in biometric data values with the device attached:
(c) With the device attached, the biometric data value changes slowly and returns to the original:
(d) Abrupt changes in biometric data values with the device attached:
(e) Rapid change of biometric data value with device attached: Principal (recovery after abnormal physical condition),
(f) Reattached after device removal, no change in biometric data value:
(g) Reattaching after removing the device, changing the biometric data value, then returning slowly:
(h) Re-install after removing the device, change the biometric data value, then return to a different value: third party,
(i) Re-install after removing the device and the biometric data value remains unchanged: Third party,
In the above case, if the biometric data value has changed and it is difficult to distinguish between the person and a third party, the biometric data value is acquired and compared in a suspended state that is not recognized as the person. If the biometric data value returns, the comparison may be made over time and the identification may be performed such that the other person does not return.

Note that (a) to (i) shown here are examples of basic identification processing for identifying whether or not the user is the user, and various modifications can be added.
In addition, with respect to the number and conditions of the biometric data values used for comparison, if the biometric data values used in the AND condition (all the biometric data values match to identify the person) are increased, the person can be identified under severe conditions. It becomes possible. That is, although the rate of recognizing another person as a person decreases, in some cases, even a person may not be recognized as a person. On the other hand, if the biometric data value used for the AND condition is reduced, or if the OR condition is set with a plurality of biometric data values (if one of them matches, the person is identified), the identification is made under a loose condition, and the identification of the person is easy. On the other hand, there is a possibility that other people may be identified from the person.

Further, in the case of the physical condition of the person, it can be determined by setting whether the person is identified as the person or is not recognized as the person.
This makes it possible to distinguish between the user himself / herself and a third party. In addition, even in the case of the user himself / herself, it is possible to distinguish changes in physical condition, changes when removed during exercise, bathing, etc., and how to return, etc., from those worn by a third party.

  In addition, biometric authentication using fingerprints, palm prints, blood vessels, or irises is troublesome because it is troublesome to read biometric information for authentication, or the scanning device becomes large. Although existing, in this embodiment, since the biometric data value is continuously acquired for a certain period of time while being worn by the user, the conventional problem is solved.

  However, by using a sensor that can be continuously attached to a finger, palm, etc., biometric information such as fingerprints, palm prints, blood vessels, etc. can be obtained continuously, and biometric data values are continuously acquired for a certain period of time, so there is a conventional problem. It will be resolved.

A CPU (Central Processing Unit) 25 executes a predetermined application program, whereby threshold setting means 251, threshold reading means 252, comparison means 253, warning means 254, transmission / reception means 255, control means 256, and inquiry means 257, which will be described later. It functions as.

  The stop operation unit 26 is used to stop a warning operation (sounding operation, blinking operation, etc.) executed by a warning unit 254 described later by a user's conscious operation. 20, an operation switch, a touch panel on a display screen (display), and the like.

The answer input unit 27 is for a user to answer whether or not a notification by a transmission / reception means 255 (to be described later) is executed in response to an inquiry by the inquiry means 257 (to be described later). 20 and the touch panel on the display screen (display).

  The memory 20M is a storage unit such as a non-volatile RAM, and accumulates and stores biometric data values detected at a predetermined cycle by the biometric sensor 22, and the transmission / reception means 255 described later includes the item (38-2). In response to the request from the management means 62 of the management server 60 described above, the biometric data values for a predetermined period (for example, 1 hour) before and after the detection operation interruption of the biometric sensor 22 are read from the memory 20M and The management unit 62 is configured to transmit and notify.

  The threshold value setting means 251 creates and sets the above-described threshold value table 20T for each user and for each weather condition corresponding to the living environment. The normal body temperature T0, blood pressure P0, and heart rate N0 of the user. Is used for inputting and setting a pair of weather conditions and a predetermined biological data threshold as described above, and may be configured to be manually input by a user, an administrator, a supervisor, or the like. Then, it may be configured to automatically input the user's normal body temperature T0, blood pressure P0, heart rate N0, and competition / working environment.

  The threshold value reading means 252 searches and reads out the biometric data threshold value set for the weather condition corresponding to the weather data (temperature / water temperature, humidity, pressure / water pressure) detected by the weather sensor 20WS from the threshold value table 20T. .

  The comparison unit 253 compares the biometric data threshold value read by the threshold value reading unit 252 with the biometric data values (body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate) detected by the biometric sensor 22 and uses them according to the above-described criteria. This is to judge and detect the physical condition of the person. Further, in addition to the physical condition of the user, it is determined whether or not the user himself / herself, as described in (a) to (i) above.

  The operation of the warning means (physical condition warning means) 254 is controlled by the control means 256 described later, and when the user's physical condition is detected as a result of comparison by the comparison means 253, or when the warning means 64, 74 described above gives a warning. When the notification is received by the transmission / reception means 255, a warning is issued to the user. In this embodiment, for example, a buzzer or the like in the portable terminal device 20 is sounded or an LED lamp or the like is blinked. . Such a warning operation (ringing operation or blinking operation) is stopped via the control unit 256 described later when the user operates the stop operation unit 26 as described above. When a mobile phone device is used as the main body of the mobile terminal device 20 as will be described later, the alerting means 254 may cause the mobile phone device to execute a calling operation as a ringing operation.

  The transmission / reception means 255 is controlled by a control means 256 to be described later, and as a result of the comparison by the comparison means 253, when a user's physical condition is detected, a physical condition abnormality notification means for notifying a predetermined contact to that effect. When the user's physical condition is notified, the biological data value detected by the biological sensor 22, the weather data detected by the weather sensor 20WS, and the GPS position detection unit 20GS are detected. The user's location is also notified. At that time, the transmission / reception means 255 may notify the user of the physical condition abnormality by automatically calling a pre-registered telephone number, or automatically transmit an e-mail to a pre-registered mail address. By doing so, the user's physical condition abnormality may be notified.

The predetermined contact information is switched by the control means 256, and details will be described later. Further, the transmission / reception means 255 uses the physical condition management server to detect the biometric data value detected by the biometric sensor 22, the meteorological data detected by the meteorological sensor 20WS, and the location of the user detected by the GPS position detecting unit 20GS. (Not shown) is assumed to perform a function of transmitting at a predetermined cycle. Further, the transmission / reception means 255 transmits / receives data to / from the outside or the non-contact IC card unit 23. In addition to a notification function (transmission function) as will be described later, information such as notification from the outside is also provided. It also has a function to receive.

  The control unit 256 functions as the above-described operation state detection unit, and controls the notification operation of the transmission / reception unit 255 and the warning operation of the warning unit 254 as in the following items (51) to (54). Here, the inquiry means 257 is also controlled by the control means 256, and when the operation of stopping the warning operation of the warning means 254 is executed within a predetermined time, the inquiry means 257 performs the notification operation of the physical condition abnormality by the transmission / reception means 255. Whether or not the answer is actually displayed on the display of the portable terminal device 20 and operated by the user by operating the touch panel or the operation switch (answer input unit 27). It is configured to receive by the control means 256.

(51) If the user's physical condition is detected as a result of the comparison by the comparison unit 253, a warning operation for the user is executed via the warning unit 254.
(52) When the operation for stopping the warning operation of the warning means 254 (the operation of the stop operation unit 26) is not executed even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the warning action, the physical condition abnormality notification by the transmission / reception means 255 is executed. Let In this case, for example, an emergency vehicle such as an ambulance is immediately arranged by notifying a fire department or the like.

  (53) In response to the inquiry from the inquiry unit 257, when the user makes a reply to execute the notification operation of the physical condition abnormality by the transmission / reception unit 255, the notification operation of the physical condition abnormality by the transmission / reception unit 255 is executed. In this case, for example, by making an automatic call to a pre-registered doctor's telephone (for example, the attending doctor's terminal 50), the user can ask the attending doctor for an appropriate treatment.

  (54) When the user refuses to execute the physical condition abnormality notification operation by the transmission / reception means 255 for a predetermined number of times in response to the inquiry by the inquiry means 257, the physical condition abnormality notification operation by the transmission / reception means 255 is forcibly executed. In this case, for example, notification is made to a friend or a close relative (for example, the contact terminal 40).

Next, the operation of the vehicle locking device 100A shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the control means 103A, it is held as a flag, for example, whether the locking mechanism 101 is in the unlocked state or the locked state by the control operation in the previous control cycle, and when the latest control cycle is reached. First, the control means 103A determines whether the locking mechanism unit 101 is in the unlocked state or the locked state by referring to the flag (step S201).

  In addition, in the portable terminals such as the cellular phone device 10, the cellular phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management portable terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40, the detection is performed by the biological sensors 12, 22, 32, and 42 at a predetermined cycle. Whether or not the user is the user is confirmed based on the biometric data value (step S301).

  In this case, the user's hand when carrying or operating the cellular phone device 10 or 10 ′, the user's part worn by the portable terminal device 20 for physical condition management, or the remote control key 30 or 40 when carrying or operating the cellular phone device 10 or 10 ′. The biometric data value is acquired by the user's hand.

  If it is confirmed that the user is the user by comparison with a predetermined threshold (YES in step S302), the CPUs 11, 21, 31, and 41 activate the flags for maintaining lock and controlling switching. (Step S303). On the other hand, if it is not possible to confirm that the user is the user by comparison with a predetermined threshold value (NO in step S302), the CPUs 11, 21, 31, and 41 do not set flags for maintaining lock and controlling switching. Activate (step S303).

  Here, the physical condition management portable terminal device 20 is always worn by the user, acquires the biometric data value, and confirms whether or not the user is the person himself / herself. On the other hand, in mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, mobile phone device 10 ′, remote control key 30, and remote control key 40 other than the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, a biometric data value is acquired when any operation or contact is made, Confirm whether the user is the person himself / herself and retain the confirmation result. In the unlikely event that it is lost and picked up by someone, a biometric data value is acquired by touching the person who picked it up, and as a result of confirmation, a result indicating that the user is not a user may be retained.

  Here, when the locking mechanism 101 of the vehicle locking device 100A is in the unlocked state ("unlocking" route in step S201), that is, the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ', and the portable terminal device for physical condition management. 20, when the mobile terminal such as the remote control key 30 and the remote control key 40 exists in the predetermined area at the timing of the previous control cycle, the determination means 104 receives a signal from the mobile terminal and receives the received signal. Is detected (step S202), and based on the signal strength, it is determined whether or not the mobile terminal is in the predetermined area, and the mobile terminal refers to the flag in the determination means 104 and the mobile terminal It is determined whether or not the state that exists in the active state has changed from the state that exists in the active state to the state that does not exist (from inside to outside) (step S203).

  Mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 remain within the predetermined area and have not left the predetermined area. If it is determined (NO route of step S203), it is determined that the user continues to exist in a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle, and the unlocked state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is (step S204). ), The process returns to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  In addition, mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 do not exist in the predetermined area and go out of the predetermined area. If it is determined that the vehicle is no longer in a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle (the YES route in step S203), the switching operation of the drive mechanism unit 102 is controlled by the control unit 103A. Then, after the locking mechanism unit 101 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state (step S205), the process returns to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  When the locking mechanism 101 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state in this way, the flag in the control unit 103A is changed from the “unlocked state” to the “locked state” and the determining unit 104 The flag in is changed from “inside the predetermined area” to “outside the predetermined area”.

On the other hand, when the locking mechanism 101 is in the locked state (“locking” route in step S201), that is, the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40. If the mobile terminal is outside the predetermined area at the timing of the previous control cycle, the determination means 104 receives a signal from the mobile terminal and detects the signal strength of the received signal (step S206). ) Based on the signal strength, it is determined whether or not the mobile terminal is in the predetermined area, and referring to the flag in the determination means 104, the mobile terminal is present from a state not existing in the predetermined area. It is determined whether (from outside to inside) has been reached (step S207).

In this case, the determination unit 104 determines whether the mobile terminal is in an active state.
It is determined that mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 remain outside the predetermined area but not within the predetermined area. If it is determined (NO route of step S207), it is determined that the user himself / herself does not exist at a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle (has not returned), and the locking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is (step S20). S208), the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  In addition, a state in which mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 do not exist within the predetermined area (from outside to inside). And when the signal from the mobile terminal is in the active state described above and it is determined that the user himself has entered from outside the predetermined area (YES route in step S207), the user himself It is determined that the vehicle has returned to a position where it can be operated and used, and the switching operation of the drive mechanism 102 is controlled by the control means 103A, and the locking mechanism 101 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state (step S209), the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle. When the locking mechanism 101 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state in this way, the flag in the control unit 103A is changed from the “locked state” to the “unlocked state” and the determining unit 104 The flag is changed from “outside the predetermined area” to “in the predetermined area”.

  Thus, according to the vehicle locking device 100A as the first embodiment of the present invention, the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ', the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 are possessed. When the user is using the vehicle with the locking mechanism 101 unlocked, the mobile phone devices 10 and 10 ′ correspond to the location of the user when using the vehicle. If the mobile phone device 10, 10 'does not exist within the predetermined area, the mobile phone device can be assumed that the user does not exist at a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle. When it is determined by the determining means 104 that the state where 10, 10 ′ is in the predetermined state from the active state to the non-existing state is determined by the control means 103A, the drive mechanism 102 switching operation is controlled by the switched automatically from the unlocked state locking mechanism 101 is in the locked state.

  In this way, it is possible to provide a locking function that automatically locks when a user leaves a vehicle such as a bicycle, a motorcycle, or an automobile, and the user does not need to be aware of the locking operation. As well as theft of the vehicle can be reliably prevented.

  On the other hand, if the mobile phone device 10 or 10 'exists in the predetermined area defined above, it can be assumed that the user who owns the mobile phone device 10 or 10' exists in a position where the vehicle can be operated and used. The unlocking condition for switching the locking mechanism 101 from the locked state to the unlocked state is that the mobile phone device 10 or 10 'is in the active state from the state not existing in the predetermined area. Thus, when the user approaches the vehicle and tries to use the vehicle, the locking mechanism unit 101 is automatically unlocked, so that the user does not need to be aware of the unlocking operation and improves the convenience of the user. be able to.

  In addition, the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, the remote control key 40, etc. Since it is confirmed, when the mobile terminal that is the key is lost or stolen, the key cannot be used by a third party, so that the vehicle can be effectively prevented from being stolen. That is, in this embodiment, since locking and unlocking are permitted to the user himself / herself based on the biometric data value, not only the user himself / herself cannot be unlocked but also locked, so that theft is surely prevented. Can be prevented.

[2] Second embodiment:
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the vehicle locking device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the vehicle locking device 100B of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. Similar to the vehicle locking device 100A, the mobile phone device 10 as a mobile terminal, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the vehicle used by the user possessing the remote control key 40 are provided. There is something to be done.

  Here, the vehicle is, for example, a bicycle, a motorbike, a motorcycle, an automobile, or various construction vehicles. The vehicle locking device 100B includes a locking mechanism unit 101, a drive mechanism unit 102, a control unit 103B, a determination unit 104, and a communication unit 115, and includes a speed detection unit 105 and a speed determination unit 106. It is further configured.

In FIG. 3, the same reference numerals as those already described indicate the same or substantially the same parts, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Here, the functions of the control unit 103B, the determination unit 104, and the speed determination unit 106 are realized by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) executing a vehicle locking control program described later.

  The speed detection means 105 newly added in the present embodiment detects the moving speed of a vehicle equipped with the locking device 100B, and the speed determination means 106 is detected by the speed detection means 105. It is determined whether or not the moving speed of the vehicle is zero, that is, whether or not the vehicle is stopped. The speed detecting means 105 is realized by using the function of the speedometer originally provided if the vehicle is a car or a motorcycle, for example, and if the vehicle is a bicycle, whether the front wheel or the rear wheel is rotating is determined. This is realized by a sensor to detect.

  The control means 103B of the second embodiment controls the switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102 as in the control means 103A of the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the speed determination means 106 controls the vehicle. Mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 are the first ones. When the determination unit 104 determines that a state that exists in an active state within a predetermined area defined in the same manner as in the embodiment has changed to a non-existing state (from inside to outside), the control unit 103B opens the locking mechanism unit 101. The switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102 is controlled so as to switch from the locked state to the locked state.

  At this time, it is determined that the moving speed of the vehicle has simply become zero, not the locking condition for switching the locking mechanism unit 101 from the unlocked state to the locked state, but by the speed determining means 106 It is determined that the speed is zero for a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds), and the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, the remote control key 40, etc. It is desirable that the determination by the determination means 104 that the terminal has changed from an active state to a non-existing state (inside to outside) in the predetermined area is the locking condition. Is the locking condition.

  In this case, for example, the speed determination unit 106 refers to the detection result of the speed detection unit 105 at every predetermined control cycle, and starts a timer (not shown) from the time when the moving speed becomes zero, so that the moving speed becomes zero. The elapsed time after becoming the time is counted, and it is determined whether or not the time measured by the timer is equal to or longer than the predetermined time for each predetermined control period thereafter. The timer is reset and stopped when the moving speed is not zero.

  On the other hand, in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ', the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 do not exist within the predetermined area. When it is determined by the determination means 104 that the state has changed from the state to the existing state (from outside to inside), and when the portable terminal is possessed by the user, the control means 103B locks the locking mechanism 101. The switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102 is controlled so as to switch to the unlocked state.

Next, the operation of the vehicle locking device 100B shown in FIG. 3 will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the control means 103B, as in the control means 103A of the first embodiment, whether the locking mechanism unit 101 is in the unlocked state or the locked state by the control operation in the previous control cycle is, for example, a flag When the latest control cycle is held, the control means 103B first refers to the flag to determine whether the locking mechanism 101 is unlocked or locked (step S201). .

  When the locking mechanism 101 is in the unlocked state (“unlocked” route in step S201), that is, the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40. If the mobile terminal is present within the predetermined area at the timing of the previous control cycle, or the mobile terminal is outside the predetermined area but the vehicle stops (the movement speed becomes zero) If the predetermined time has not elapsed yet, the determination means 104 receives a signal from the portable terminal, detects the signal strength of the received signal (step S202), and carries the portable signal based on the signal strength. It is determined whether or not the terminal is within the predetermined area, and the mobile terminal is in the active state within the predetermined area by referring to the flag in the determination unit 104. The absence from the state which determines whether it is (from the inside out) (step S203).

  If it is determined that the mobile terminal remains in the predetermined area and does not go out of the predetermined area (NO route in step S203), the user continues to exist in a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle. The unlocking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is (step S204), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  In addition, mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 do not exist in the predetermined area and go out of the predetermined area. If it is determined that the vehicle is moving (YES route in step S203), the speed detection means 105 detects the moving speed of the vehicle (step S401), and the speed determination means 106 determines whether the moving speed is zero (stopped). Alternatively, it is determined whether or not it is zero (stopped) for a predetermined time (step S402).

If the moving speed is not zero (NO route in step S402), the control means 103B is, for example, an abnormal situation in which the mobile terminal is not in the predetermined area even though the vehicle is moving. An abnormal condition is notified / warned to the user by sounding a buzzer sound or blinking a warning lamp (step S403). In this case, since the vehicle is moving and cannot be locked, the unlocked state of the locking mechanism 101 is maintained as it is (
Step S204), the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  When the moving speed is zero (YES route in step S402), it is determined by the speed determining means 106 whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the moving speed became zero (step S404), and the predetermined time has passed. If not (NO route of step S404), it is determined that there is a possibility that the user himself / herself does not temporarily exist at a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle, and may return immediately, and unlocking of the locking mechanism unit 101 is performed. The state is maintained as it is (step S204), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the speed determination means 106 that the predetermined time has elapsed since the moving speed has become zero (YES route in step S404), the user himself / herself exists at a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle. It is determined that the vehicle has run out and is completely separated from the vehicle, and the switching operation of the drive mechanism unit 102 is controlled by the control unit 103B, and the locking mechanism unit 101 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state (step S205). The process proceeds to step S201 in the control cycle. When the locking mechanism 101 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state in this way, the flag in the control unit 103B is changed from the “unlocked state” to the “locked state” and the determining unit 104 The flag in is changed from “inside the predetermined area” to “outside the predetermined area”.

  On the other hand, when the locking mechanism unit 101 is in the locked state (“locking” route in step S201), that is, when the mobile terminal is outside the predetermined area at the timing of the previous control cycle, Since the same processing (steps S206 to S209) is executed by the locking mechanism unit 101, the drive mechanism unit 102, the control unit 103B, and the determination unit 104, description thereof is omitted.

  Thus, according to the vehicle locking device 100B as the second embodiment of the present invention, the same operational effects as the first embodiment can be obtained, and when the locking mechanism 101 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state. The mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ', the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, the remote control key 40, and the like are not present from the state in which they are active in the predetermined area. In addition to being in a state (from inside to outside), adding that the moving speed of the vehicle is zero or that the moving speed of the vehicle is zero for a predetermined time causes the vehicle to stop. After confirming that the vehicle is in place, the vehicle can be locked safely.

  In addition, by making it a determination condition that the vehicle has been stopped for a predetermined time, it is possible to prevent the user from locking only by leaving the vehicle for a very short time for some reason. When the user leaves the vehicle for a very short time, it is not necessary to perform unnecessary locking and the user does not have to perform an unlocking operation, and convenience can be improved.

  If the predetermined time is set too long, the user will not be locked after leaving the vehicle for a long time and may be stolen. It is preferable to set this time.

  In addition, the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, the remote control key 40, etc. Since it is confirmed, when the mobile terminal that is the key is lost or stolen, the key cannot be used by a third party, so that the vehicle can be effectively prevented from being stolen. That is, in this embodiment, since locking and unlocking are permitted to the user himself / herself based on the biometric data value, not only the user himself / herself cannot be unlocked but also locked, so that theft is surely prevented. Can be prevented.

[3] Description of the third embodiment:
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the vehicle locking device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the vehicle locking device 100C of the third embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment. Similar to the vehicle locking device 100B, the mobile phone device 10 as a mobile terminal, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the vehicle used by the user possessing the remote control key 40 are provided. There is something to be done.

Here, the vehicle is, for example, a bicycle, a motorbike, a motorcycle, an automobile, or various construction vehicles.
In addition to the locking mechanism 101, the drive mechanism 102, the determination unit 104, the speed detection unit 105, the speed determination unit 106, and the communication unit 115 similar to those of the second embodiment, the control unit 103B of the second embodiment is provided. Instead, the control unit 103C is configured, and the sampling unit 107, the first storage unit 108, and the authentication unit 109 are further configured.

In FIG. 5, the same reference numerals as those already described indicate the same or substantially the same parts, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Here, the functions as the control unit 103C, the determination unit 104, the speed determination unit 106, and the authentication unit 109 are realized by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) executing a vehicle locking control program described later. Further, the function as the first storage unit 108 is realized by, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory).

  The collection means 107 newly added in the present embodiment collects the user's biometric information (biological information) when the locking mechanism unit 101 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, and as the biometric information, Examples include fingerprints, palm prints, irises (iris muscle patterns), voice, facial images, blood vessel patterns (fundus retinal vascular network, venous vascular network), dynamic signatures, keystrokes, and the like.

  For example, in the case of a bicycle, the collection means 107 is provided as a handle that is gripped by the user, and is configured as a sensor that captures fingerprint or palm print image information from the user's hand at the same time the user grips the handle. be able to. In addition, the collection unit 107 according to the present embodiment collects image information as described above, extracts feature point information (information regarding a branch point and an end point in the case of a fingerprint) from the collected image information, and biometrics information As the output.

  The first storage means 108 stores the registered biometric information of the user in advance, and the biometric information collected from the user when the user purchases or rents the vehicle (if the fingerprint is the fingerprint image itself) However, here, it is written as registered biometric information).

  The authentication unit 109 compares and collates the biometric information collected by the collection unit 107 with the registered biometric information stored in advance in the first storage unit 108 to authenticate the user.

Similarly to the control unit 103B of the second embodiment, the control unit 103C of the third embodiment controls the switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102, and the speed determination unit 106 controls the moving speed of the vehicle over a predetermined time. It is determined that the state is zero (stopped), and the portable terminal is determined to have changed from a state in which the portable terminal is active in a predetermined area defined in the same manner as in the first embodiment to a state in which it does not exist (from inside to outside). If determined by 104, the control unit 103C controls the switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102 so as to switch the locking mechanism unit 101 from the unlocked state to the locked state.

  Further, in the third embodiment, it is determined that the user is authenticated by the authentication unit 109 and that the portable terminal has changed from a state not existing in the predetermined area (external to internal). When determined by the means 104, the control means 103C controls the switching operation by the drive mechanism section 102 so as to switch the locking mechanism section 101 from the locked state to the unlocked state.

Next, the operation of the vehicle locking device 100C shown in FIG. 5 will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the control means 103C, as in the control means 103A of the first embodiment, whether the locking mechanism unit 101 is in the unlocked state or the locked state by the control operation in the previous control cycle, for example, as a flag If it is held and the latest control cycle is reached, first, the control unit 103C refers to the flag to determine whether the locking mechanism unit 101 is unlocked or locked (step S201). .

  When the locking mechanism unit 101 is in the unlocked state (“unlocked route” in step S201), that is, when the mobile terminal is present in the predetermined area at the timing of the previous control cycle, If the vehicle exists outside the predetermined area but has not yet elapsed for a predetermined time since the vehicle stopped (moving speed becomes zero), the same processing as in the second embodiment is performed. Since it is executed by the drive mechanism unit 102, the control unit 103C, the determination unit 104, the speed detection unit 105, and the speed determination unit 106, description thereof is omitted.

  On the other hand, when the locking mechanism unit 101 is in the locked state (“locking” route in step S201), that is, when the portable terminal is outside the predetermined area at the timing of the previous control cycle, the sampling means 107 Is used to monitor whether or not user biometric information (for example, fingerprint feature point information) has been collected (step S601). If biometric information is not collected (NO route of step S601), the locking mechanism 101 is locked. The state is maintained as it is (step S208), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  When the biometric information is collected (YES route in step S601), the authentication unit 109 compares and collates the collected biometric information with the registered biometric information in the first storage unit 108 (step S602). As a result of the collation, when it is determined that the user is not the person (NO route of step S603), the control unit 103C causes the abnormal to the user, for example, by making a buzzer sound or blinking a warning lamp. After notifying / warning the situation (step S604), the locking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is (step S208), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  When the authenticating unit 109 authenticates the user (YES route in step S603), the signal from the portable terminal is received by the determining unit 104 and the signal strength of the received signal is received in the determining unit 104, as in the first embodiment. Is detected (step S206), and based on the signal strength, it is determined whether or not the mobile terminal is in the predetermined area, and the mobile terminal is present in the predetermined area by referring to the flag in the determination means 104. It is determined whether or not the existing state (external to internal) is changed from the non-performed state (step S207).

  If it is determined that the mobile terminal remains outside the predetermined area and does not exist within the predetermined area (NO route in step S207), the mobile terminal does not exist at a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle (return). The locking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is (step S208), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  In addition, a state in which mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 do not exist within the predetermined area (from outside to inside). And when the signal from the mobile terminal is in the active state described above and it is determined that the user himself has entered from outside the predetermined area (YES route in step S207), the user himself It is determined that the vehicle has returned to a position where it can be operated and used, and the switching operation of the drive mechanism unit 102 is controlled by the control means 103C, and the locking mechanism unit 101 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state (step S209), the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle. When the locking mechanism 101 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state in this way, the flag in the control unit 103C is changed from the “locked state” to the “unlocked state” and the determination unit 104 The flag is changed from “outside the predetermined area” to “in the predetermined area”.

  Thus, according to the vehicle locking device 100C as the third embodiment of the present invention, the same operational effects as those of the first and second embodiments can be obtained, and the locking mechanism 101 can be opened from the locked state. The unlocking conditions for switching to the locked state are that the user's mobile terminal is in the predetermined area, and the user's biometric information and registered biometric information collected by the collecting means 107 at the time of unlocking Therefore, only the user who has been authenticated by the biometric information can unlock the locking mechanism unit 101, and the vehicle can be securely stolen. Can be prevented. In addition, even if the user is authenticated by the biometric information, the locking mechanism unit 101 cannot be unlocked if the user does not have a portable terminal, thereby preventing theft of the vehicle more reliably. can do.

  In addition, the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, the remote control key 40, etc. Since it is confirmed, when the mobile terminal that is the key is lost or stolen, the key cannot be used by a third party, so that the vehicle can be effectively prevented from being stolen. That is, in this embodiment, since locking and unlocking are permitted to the user himself / herself based on the biometric data value, not only the user himself / herself cannot be unlocked but also locked, so that theft is surely prevented. Can be prevented.

[4] Description of the fourth embodiment:
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the vehicle locking device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the vehicle locking device 100D of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment. Similar to the vehicle locking device 100B, the vehicle can be provided in a vehicle, such as a bicycle, a motorcycle, or an automobile, used by a user who has the mobile phone device 10 or 10 'as a mobile terminal.

Here, the vehicle is, for example, a bicycle, a motorbike, a motorcycle, an automobile, or various construction vehicles.
In addition to the locking mechanism 101, the drive mechanism 102, the determination unit 104, the speed detection unit 105, the communication unit 115, and the speed determination unit 106, which are the same as those in the second embodiment, the control of the second embodiment A control means 103D is provided instead of the means 103B, and an extraction means 110, a second storage means 111, and a comparison means 112 are further provided.

In FIG. 7, the same reference numerals as those already described indicate the same or substantially the same parts, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Here, the functions of the control unit 103D, the determination unit 104, the speed determination unit 106, the extraction unit 110, and the comparison unit 112 are realized, for example, by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) executing a vehicle locking control program described later. The The function as the second storage unit 111 is similar to that of the first storage unit 108 of the third embodiment, for example, ROM (Read
Only Memory).

  In the fourth embodiment, when the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) communicates with the base station to perform location registration or handover, the communication signal transmitted from the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) is the mobile phone device 10. It is assumed that identification information that can specify a user possessing (10 ′) is included. Similarly, it is assumed that the mobile phone device 10 (10 ') also includes identification information when communicating with the wireless headset.

In addition, it is assumed that the non-contact IC card function unit 13 in the mobile phone device 10 ′ stores in advance identification information that can identify the user who owns the mobile phone device 10 ′.
The extraction means 110 newly added in the present embodiment is a state in which the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) is not in the predetermined area defined above (external to internal), or a mobile phone When the determination unit 104 determines that the device 10 (10 ′) continues to exist in the predetermined area, the identification information is extracted from the handover communication signal of the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′). In addition, the identification information is extracted by communicating with the non-contact type IC card function unit 13 in the mobile phone device 10 '.

  The second storage unit 111 stores registration identification information that can identify the user in advance, and when the user purchases or rents the vehicle, the predetermined identification information is written as the registration identification information of the user. Yes. At this time, the registration identification information is written, and at the same time, the communication signal of the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) is set to include the same identification information, or the same as the non-contact IC card function unit 13 in the mobile phone device 10 ′. Identification information may be written.

The comparison unit 112 compares the identification information extracted by the extraction unit 110 with the registered identification information stored in advance in the second storage unit 111.
Similarly to the control unit 103B of the second embodiment, the control unit 103D controls the switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102, and the speed determination unit 106 sets the vehicle moving speed to zero (stopped) for a predetermined time. ) And the determination means 104 determines that the mobile terminal has changed from a state that exists in an active state within a predetermined area defined as in the first embodiment to a state that does not exist (from inside to outside). In such a case, the control unit 103D controls the switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102 so as to switch the locking mechanism unit 101 from the unlocked state to the locked state, while the portable terminal exists from a state where it does not exist within the predetermined area. When the determination unit 104 determines that the state (from outside to inside) is reached, the control unit 103D causes the locking mechanism unit 101 to be unlocked from the locked state. And controls the switching operation of the drive mechanism 102 to switch.

  Furthermore, in the fourth embodiment, when the determination unit 104 determines that the mobile terminal has changed from a state that does not exist within the predetermined area (from outside to inside), the control unit 103D includes the comparison unit 112. Only when the comparison result matches, the determination result by the determination means 104 is determined to be valid. If the comparison result is inconsistent, the control means 103D is configured to notify / warn the user to that effect, as will be described later.

Next, the operation of the vehicle locking device 100D shown in FIG. 7 will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
Basically, the operation of the vehicle locking device 100D of the fourth embodiment is the same as the operation of the vehicle locking device 100B of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, and the same processing is described in the second embodiment. Therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  In the fourth embodiment, new steps S801, S802, S803, and S804 are added between the NO route in step S203 and step S204, and a new route is added between the YES route in step S207 and steps S208 and S209. The point that steps S804, S805, and S806 are added is different from the operation of the vehicle locking device 100B of the second embodiment.

  When the determination unit 104 determines that the NO route in step S203, that is, the mobile phone device 10 (10 ') continues to exist in the predetermined area, the extraction unit 110 determines that the mobile phone device 10 (10') The above-described identification information is extracted from the position registration or handover communication signal, or the above-mentioned identification information is extracted by communicating with the non-contact IC card function unit 13 in the mobile phone device 10 ′ (step S801). ).

  Then, the identification information extracted by the extraction unit 110 and the registered identification information stored in advance in the second storage unit 111 are compared by the comparison unit 112, and it is determined whether or not these identification information matches (step S802). ).

  If these pieces of identification information match (YES route in step S802), it is recognized that the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) is registered in advance and the unlocking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is. (Step S204), the process proceeds to Step S201 in the next control cycle.

  If the identification information does not match (NO route of step S802), since the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) possessed by the user is in an abnormal situation such as being replaced with another one, The abnormal state is notified to the user by the control means 103D, or the control means 103D issues a warning to the user by, for example, sounding a buzzer sound or blinking a warning lamp (step S803), and then the locking mechanism. The unlocked state of the part 101 is maintained as it is (step S204), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  In addition, a state in which mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 do not exist within the predetermined area (from outside to inside). When the signal from the portable terminal is in the active state as described above and it is determined that the user himself has entered from outside the predetermined area (YES route in step S207), the extracting unit 110 Thus, the above-mentioned identification information is extracted from the communication signal for handover of the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′), or the above-mentioned identification information is communicated with the non-contact IC card function unit 13 in the mobile phone device 10 ′. Information is extracted (step S804).

  Then, the identification information extracted by the extraction unit 110 and the registered identification information stored in advance in the second storage unit 111 are compared by the comparison unit 112, and it is determined whether or not these identification information matches (step S805). ).

  If these pieces of identification information match (YES route in step S805), the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) is recognized as a registered regular one, and the user himself / herself can use the proper mobile phone device 10 ( 10 ′), and it is determined that the vehicle has returned to a position where the vehicle can be operated and used, and the control unit 103D determines that the determination result by the determination unit 104 (YES determination in step S207) is valid. Then, the switching operation of the drive mechanism unit 102 is controlled, and after the locking mechanism unit 101 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state (step S209), the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  If the identification information does not match (NO route in step S805), the user has returned to a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle, but the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) possessed by the user. However, the control unit 103D determines that the determination result by the determination unit 104 (YES determination in step S207) is invalid, and the abnormal state is the control unit. 103D is notified to the user, or the control means 103D issues a warning to the user by, for example, sounding a buzzer sound or blinking a warning lamp (step S806), and then the locking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 remains unchanged. Is maintained (step S208), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  Thus, according to the vehicle locking device 100D as the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment and the second embodiment can be obtained, and the mobile phone device 10 (10 ') can be used. When the determination means 104 determines that the active state is changed from the state not existing in the predetermined area (when YES is determined in step S207), the handover communication signal or the non-contact IC card function unit The user identification information is extracted from 13, and only when the extracted identification information and the registered identification information in the second period means 111 match, it is determined that the determination result by the determination means 104 is valid. If the user does not have a regular mobile terminal registered in advance, the user will have another mobile phone device and will recognize the presence of the mobile phone device in the predetermined area. Results of determination by the determination means 104 also is invalid and can not be performed to switch the locking of the locking mechanism 101, it is possible to reliably prevent the theft of the vehicle. At that time, the user is notified / warned to that effect, so that the user can recognize the situation.

  In addition, when it is determined by the determination means 104 that the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) continues to exist in the predetermined area (NO route in step S203), the handover communication signal or the non-contact IC card When the identification information of the user is extracted from the functional unit 13 and the extracted identification information does not match the registered identification information in the second period means 111, the mobile phone device possessed by the user as described above 10 (10 ') is an abnormal situation such as a normal one being replaced with another, and the abnormal situation is notified / warned to the user, so the user must be aware of the situation. Can do.

  Further, since the mobile terminal such as the mobile phone device 10 and the mobile phone device 10 ′ is used to check whether the user is the user himself or herself using the biometric data value of the user, the key mobile terminal is lost or stolen. In this case, since the key cannot be used by a third party, theft of the vehicle can be effectively prevented. That is, in this embodiment, since locking and unlocking are permitted to the user himself / herself based on the biometric data value, not only the user himself / herself cannot be unlocked but also locked, so that theft is surely prevented. Can be prevented.

[5] Description of the fifth embodiment:
FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the vehicle locking device according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the vehicle locking device 100E of the fifth embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. The vehicle locking device 100C according to the third embodiment is further provided with extraction means 110, second storage means 111, and comparison means 112 in the vehicle locking device 100D according to the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. Instead of the control means 103C of the third embodiment, a control means 103E is provided.

In FIG. 9, the same reference numerals as those already described indicate the same or substantially the same parts, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Here, the functions of the control unit 103E, the determination unit 104, the speed determination unit 106, the authentication unit 109, the extraction unit 110, and the comparison unit 112 are, for example, a CPU (Central Processi).
ng Unit) is executed by executing a vehicle locking control program to be described later. The functions of the first storage unit 108 and the second storage unit 111 are, for example, ROM (Read
Only Memory).

  And the control means 103E of 5th Embodiment controls the switching operation by the drive mechanism part 102, and it is determined by the speed determination means 106 that the moving speed of the vehicle is zero (stopped) for a predetermined time. When the determination unit 104 determines that the mobile terminal has changed from the active state to the non-existing state (inside to outside) within the predetermined area defined in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the control unit 103E However, the switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102 is controlled so that the locking mechanism unit 101 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state.

  In the fifth embodiment, it is determined that the user is authenticated by the authentication unit 109 and that the portable terminal is in a state (external to internal) that does not exist within the predetermined area. When the determination is made by the means 104, the control means 103D further refers to the comparison result by the comparison means 112, determines that the determination result by the determination means 104 is valid only when the comparison result matches, and the locking mechanism 101 The switching operation by the drive mechanism unit 102 is controlled so as to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. If the comparison result does not match, the control means 103E is configured to notify / warn the user to that effect, as will be described later.

  Next, the operation of the vehicle locking device 100E shown in FIG. 9 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 (steps S201 to S209, S401, S402, S601 to S604, S801 to S806).

  In the control means 103E, as in the control means 103A of the first embodiment, whether the locking mechanism unit 101 is in the unlocked state or the locked state by the control operation in the previous control cycle is, for example, a flag If it is held and the latest control cycle is reached, first, the control means 103E refers to the flag to determine whether the locking mechanism 101 is unlocked or locked (step S201). .

  When the locking mechanism unit 101 is in the unlocked state (“unlocked route” in step S201), that is, when the mobile terminal is present in the predetermined area at the timing of the previous control cycle, If the vehicle exists outside the predetermined area but has not yet elapsed for a predetermined time since the vehicle stopped (after the moving speed becomes zero), the determination means 104 receives a signal from the portable terminal. Then, the signal strength of the received signal is detected (step S202), and based on the signal strength, it is determined whether or not the mobile terminal is within the predetermined area, and the mobile terminal refers to the flag in the determining means 104. It is determined whether or not the state has changed from an existing state in the predetermined area to a non-existing state (from inside to outside) (step S203).

  If it is determined that the mobile terminal remains in the predetermined area and does not go out of the predetermined area (NO route in step S203), the user continues to exist in a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle. The above-mentioned identification information is extracted from the position registration and handover communication signal of the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) by the extraction means 110, or the mobile phone device 10 ′ is contactless. The identification information described above is extracted by communicating with the IC card function unit 13 (step S801).

  Then, the identification information extracted by the extraction unit 110 and the registered identification information stored in advance in the second storage unit 111 are compared by the comparison unit 112, and it is determined whether or not these identification information matches (step S802). ).

  If these pieces of identification information match (YES route in step S802), it is recognized that the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) is registered in advance and the unlocking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is. (Step S204), the process proceeds to Step S201 in the next control cycle.

  If the identification information does not match (NO route of step S802), since the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) possessed by the user is in an abnormal situation such as being replaced with another one, The abnormal state is notified to the user by the control means 103E, or the control means 103E warns the user by, for example, sounding a buzzer sound or blinking a warning lamp (step S803), and then the locking mechanism. The unlocked state of the part 101 is maintained as it is (step S204), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  If it is determined that the mobile terminal does not exist within the predetermined area and has left the predetermined area (YES route in step S203), the speed detection means 105 detects the moving speed of the vehicle ( In step S401, the speed determination means 106 determines whether the moving speed is zero (stopped) or zero (stopped) for a predetermined time (step S402).

  If the moving speed is not zero (NO route in step S402), since the vehicle is moving and the mobile terminal is not in the predetermined area, the control unit 103E An abnormal condition is notified / warned to the user by sounding a buzzer sound or blinking a warning lamp (step S403). In this case, since the vehicle is moving and cannot be locked, the unlocking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is (step S204), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  When the moving speed is zero (YES route in step S402), it is determined by the speed determining means 106 whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the moving speed became zero (step S404), and the predetermined time has passed. If not (NO route of step S404), it is determined that there is a possibility that the user himself / herself does not temporarily exist at a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle, and may return immediately, and unlocking of the locking mechanism unit 101 is performed. The state is maintained as it is (step S204), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the speed determination means 106 that the predetermined time has elapsed since the moving speed has become zero (YES route in step S404), the user himself / herself exists at a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle. It is determined that the vehicle has run out and is completely separated from the vehicle, and the switching operation of the drive mechanism 102 is controlled by the control means 103E, and the locking mechanism 101 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state (step S205). The process proceeds to step S201 in the control cycle. When the locking mechanism 101 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state in this way, the flag in the control unit 103E is changed from the “unlocked state” to the “locked state” and the determining unit 104 The flag in is changed from “inside the predetermined area” to “outside the predetermined area”.

  On the other hand, when the locking mechanism unit 101 is in the locked state (“locking” route in step S201), that is, when the portable terminal is outside the predetermined area at the timing of the previous control cycle, the sampling means 107 Is used to monitor whether or not user biometric information (for example, fingerprint feature point information) has been collected (step S601). If biometric information is not collected (NO route of step S601), the locking mechanism 101 is locked. The state is maintained as it is (step S208), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  When the biometric information is collected (YES route in step S601), the authentication unit 109 compares and collates the collected biometric information with the registered biometric information in the first storage unit 108 (step S602). As a result of the collation, when it is determined that the user is not the person (NO route in step S603), the control means 103E causes the abnormal to the user, for example, by making a buzzer sound or blinking a warning lamp. After notifying / warning the situation (step S604), the locking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is (step S208), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  When the authenticating unit 109 authenticates the user (YES route in step S603), the signal from the portable terminal is received by the determining unit 104 and the signal strength of the received signal is received in the determining unit 104, as in the first embodiment. Is detected (step S206), and based on the signal strength, it is determined whether or not the mobile terminal is in the predetermined area, and the mobile terminal is present in the predetermined area by referring to the flag in the determination means 104. It is determined whether or not the existing state (external to internal) is changed from the non-performed state (step S207).

  If it is determined that the mobile terminal remains outside the predetermined area and does not exist within the predetermined area (NO route in step S207), the mobile terminal does not exist at a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle (return). The locking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 is maintained as it is (step S208), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

  In addition, a state in which mobile terminals such as the mobile phone device 10, the mobile phone device 10 ′, the physical condition management mobile terminal device 20, the remote control key 30, and the remote control key 40 do not exist within the predetermined area (from outside to inside). And the signal from the mobile terminal is in the active state described above, and it is determined that the user himself has entered from outside the predetermined area (YES route in step S207), the extraction means 110 The identification information described above is extracted from the communication signal for handover of the cellular phone device 10 (10 ′), or the identification information described above by communicating with the non-contact IC card function unit 13 in the cellular phone device 10 ′. Are extracted (step S804).

  Then, the identification information extracted by the extraction unit 110 and the registered identification information stored in advance in the second storage unit 111 are compared by the comparison unit 112, and it is determined whether or not these identification information matches (step S805). ).

  If these pieces of identification information match (YES route in step S805), the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) is recognized as a registered regular one, and the user himself / herself can use the proper mobile phone device 10 ( 10 '), it is determined that the vehicle has returned to a position where the vehicle can be operated and used, and the control unit 103E determines that the determination result by the determination unit 104 (YES determination in step S207) is valid. Then, the switching operation of the drive mechanism unit 102 is controlled, and after the locking mechanism unit 101 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state (step S209), the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle. When the locking mechanism unit 101 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state in this way, the flag in the control unit 103E is changed from the “locked state” to the “unlocked state” and the determination unit 104 The flag is changed from “outside the predetermined area” to “in the predetermined area”.

If the identification information does not match (NO route in step S805), the user has returned to a position where the user can operate and use the vehicle, but the mobile phone device 10 (10 ′) possessed by the user. However, the control unit 103E determines that the determination result by the determination unit 104 (YES determination in step S207) is invalid, and the abnormal state is the control unit. 103E is notified to the user, or the control means 103E issues a warning to the user by, for example, sounding a buzzer sound or blinking a warning lamp (step S806), and the locking state of the locking mechanism unit 101 remains unchanged. Is maintained (step S208), and the process proceeds to step S201 in the next control cycle.

Thus, according to the vehicle locking device 100 </ b> E as the fifth embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a comprehensive operational effect in a state in which the first to fourth embodiments are combined.
Further, since the mobile terminal such as the mobile phone device 10 and the mobile phone device 10 ′ is used to check whether the user is the user himself or herself using the biometric data value of the user, the key mobile terminal is lost or stolen. In this case, since the key cannot be used by a third party, theft of the vehicle can be effectively prevented. That is, in this embodiment, since locking and unlocking are permitted to the user himself / herself based on the biometric data value, not only the user himself / herself cannot be unlocked but also locked, so that theft is surely prevented. Can be prevented.
