  Exemplary embodiments of a consumable deteriorated product management apparatus and a consumable deteriorated product according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  First, the concept of the consumable deteriorated product management method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the concept of a consumable deteriorated product management method according to the present invention by a specific example of replacement and replacement of consumable deteriorated products. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a recommended replacement replacement threshold and a replacement required threshold used in the consumable deteriorated product management method shown in FIG. In the present invention, when a certain maintenance is performed, in addition to replenishment / replacement of the consumable deteriorated product necessary at that time, it is determined whether there is a consumable deteriorated product that needs to be replenished or replaced by the next maintenance. Consumables that need to be replenished or replaced before maintenance are recommended to be replenished and replaced during this maintenance.

  For example, in FIG. 1, since the consumption deterioration amount (state) a11 of the consumable deteriorated product A has reached the replenishment / replacement necessary threshold Th11 at the time of the current maintenance, it is necessary to replace or replenish in the current maintenance ( The shaded area indicates the remaining amount).

  On the other hand, for the consumable deteriorated product B, the consumable deterioration amount b11 at the time of the current maintenance does not reach the replenishment / replacement threshold Th12, but the consumable deterioration amount b12 falls below the replenishment / replacement threshold Th12 at the next maintenance.

  In other words, it is not necessary to replenish or replace at the time of this maintenance, but if the consumable deteriorated product B is not replaced in this maintenance, the replenishment or replacement of the consumable deteriorated product B will occur before the next maintenance time. Is required. Therefore, by recommending that the consumable deteriorated product B be replenished / replaced at the time of this maintenance, the maintenance is made more efficient and the number of maintenance is reduced.

  In addition, since the consumption deterioration amount c11 at the time of the current maintenance does not reach the replenishment replacement necessary threshold Th13 and the wear deterioration amount c12 does not reach the replenishment effect necessary threshold Th13 at the next maintenance, We do not recommend replenishment and replacement for this maintenance.

  However, since the consumption deterioration amount c13 reaches the replenishment replacement threshold Th13 at the next maintenance, replenishment replacement is recommended at the next maintenance.

  Furthermore, since the consumption deterioration amount d11 at the time of the current maintenance, the consumption deterioration amount d12 at the next maintenance time, and the consumption deterioration amount d13 at the next maintenance time have not reached the replenishment replacement threshold Th14, No replenishment or replacement is recommended during the next maintenance or the next maintenance.

  In this specification, the term “maintenance” as used herein refers to general work for checking, replenishing, and exchanging consumables of a vehicle. For example, replenishment of gasoline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after purchase of a vehicle. In addition, a periodic inspection that is periodically performed according to the travel distance such as every 1000 km travel is included. It is also estimated that maintenance will be carried out when visiting a gas station, a car supply store, a dealer, or the like.

  Specifically, the prior art can be used for detection of individual states of consumable deteriorated products such as detection that the remaining amount of gasoline is low and detection of deterioration of oil. Further, the schedule for carrying out periodic inspection after purchase can be predicted from the purchase date and time information. Furthermore, a visit to a gas station, a car supply store, a dealer, or the like can be detected from the position information and map information of the vehicle.

  When it is detected that a consumable deteriorated product needs to be replenished or replaced (has reached the replenishment replacement threshold), or when a periodic inspection occurs, a predetermined place (gas station, car supply store) When the visit to a dealer, etc.) is detected, it is determined that “current maintenance” occurs.

  Then, the consumption deterioration state of each consumable product at the time of the current maintenance is compared with the threshold value for replenishment replacement to determine the necessity for replenishment or replacement, and the consumption that has reached the replenishment replacement threshold value at the time of the current maintenance. In addition to requesting replenishment / replacement of deteriorated products, it is recommended to replenish and replace consumable deteriorated products that need replenishment replacement before the next maintenance.

  Judgment whether or not replenishment replacement is required by the next maintenance is performed by, for example, predicting the consumption deterioration state of each consumable deterioration product at the next maintenance, and determining the predicted consumption deterioration state and the replenishment replacement necessary threshold value. In comparison, when the replenishment replacement threshold is reached, it may be determined that replenishment replacement is required by the next maintenance.

  In addition, a recommended replacement replacement threshold is set, and if the depletion condition during the current maintenance has reached the recommended replacement replacement threshold, it is determined that replacement or replacement is required by the next maintenance, and replacement replacement is performed during the current maintenance. May be recommended.

  The replenishment replacement recommended threshold will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, for the consumable deteriorated product A, a replenishment / replacement necessary threshold Th21 and a replenishment / replacement recommended threshold Th22 are set. The replenishment / replacement recommended threshold Th22 is larger than the replenishment / replacement necessary threshold 21.

  Accordingly, if the consumption deterioration amount a21 from Max (full amount) at the time of the current maintenance has reached the replenishment replacement necessary threshold Th21, it is determined that “replenishment replacement is necessary”, and replenishment replacement is recommended from the replenishment replacement necessary threshold Th21. If it is between the threshold Th22, it can be determined that “replenishment replacement should be recommended”, and if it has not reached the recommended replacement replacement threshold Th22, it can be determined that “replenishment replacement is not required”.

  Further, it is desirable to change the recommended replacement threshold value Th22 according to the traveling state of the vehicle. This is because how each consumable deteriorated product is consumed depends on the running state of the vehicle. Specifically, for example, the manner of deterioration of the wiper blade is different between a case where there is a lot of traveling in fine weather and a case where there is much traveling in rainy weather. For this reason, the recommended replacement replacement threshold value for the wiper blade is changed depending on whether or not there is a lot of driving in rainy weather.

  In the case of oil, the degree of deterioration or wear varies depending on the engine speed, the time that the engine is left without being started, and the like, so the recommended replacement replacement threshold value is varied based on the state of use of the engine. Similarly, since the degree of deterioration or wear varies depending on the time of leaving the tire unrotated, the driving frequency of the curve, how to turn the steering, etc., the replenishment replacement recommended threshold value is changed based on the driving history.

  In this way, for each consumable deteriorated product, the recommended replacement replacement threshold that varies based on the usage state is set, and the exhausted deterioration state at the time of the current maintenance is compared with the recommended replacement replacement threshold until the next maintenance. It is possible to easily and accurately determine whether it is necessary to replace the consumable deteriorated product, that is, whether replacement replacement should be recommended during the current maintenance.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, a specific configuration example of the consumable deteriorated product management apparatus for realizing the consumable deteriorated product management method according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram illustrating the configuration of the consumable deteriorated product management system 1 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in the figure, the consumable deteriorated product management system 1 includes a gas station communication terminal device 10, an automobile supply store communication terminal device 20, a dealer communication terminal device 30, a wireless access point 35, a network 37, and a consumable deteriorated product management device 40.

  The input unit 408 is an input device that inputs a user's request or instruction, and is specifically realized by a button or a touch panel display. The display unit 409 is an image display device that notifies the vehicle occupant of the information related to the replacement and replacement of the consumable deteriorated product output from the notification unit 412b. Specifically, the display unit 409 is an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or the like. is there. The voice output unit 410 is a voice synthesizer that synthesizes information related to replenishment and replacement of a consumable deteriorated product output from the notification unit 412b and outputs it to the vehicle occupant.

  The storage unit 411 is a storage device such as a hard disk drive, for example, and stores a consumable deteriorated product management table storage unit 411a, traveling history data 411b, and maintenance history data 411c.

  The input unit 408, the display unit 409, the audio output unit 410, and the storage unit 411 may be configured to be shared with other in-vehicle devices such as the navigation system 41 and an audio system (not shown).

  The control unit 412 is a control unit that controls the consumable deteriorated product management apparatus 40 as a whole, and includes a replenishment replacement recommendation determining unit 412a, a notification processing unit 412b, and a consumable deterioration predicting unit 412c.

  Based on the outputs of the navigation system 41, the consumption meter 42, and the usage time accumulator 43, the replacement replacement recommendation determination unit 412a determines the necessity for replacement replacement of each consumable deteriorated product and whether or not replacement replacement should be recommended. Judgment is made.

  Specifically, the replenishment replacement recommendation determination unit 412a performs “1. Detection of occurrence of current maintenance”, “2. Judgment of necessity of replenishment replacement in current maintenance”, “3. Prediction of next maintenance timing”. "," 4. Judgment of propriety in current maintenance (determination of whether replenishment replacement is required before the next maintenance) ".

  First, for “1. Detection of occurrence of current maintenance”, the replenishment / replacement recommendation determination unit 412a can estimate that the current position of the vehicle is subject to maintenance such as a gas station, a car accessory store, a dealer, etc. If it is necessary to replace any of the consumable and deteriorated products, or if it is time for periodic inspection, the occurrence of “current maintenance” is detected (or predicted).

  Here, whether or not the current position of the host vehicle is a predetermined location can be determined based on the output of the navigation system 41. In addition, it can be determined from the outputs of the consumption meter 42 and the usage time accumulator 43 whether or not any of the deteriorated products has to be replaced. Furthermore, the period of periodic inspection can be determined by storing in advance the purchase time of the host vehicle and the schedule for maintenance, and comparing it with time information output from the navigation system 41 or the like.

  Next, with respect to “2. Judgment of necessity for replenishment replacement in the current maintenance”, the wear deterioration state of each wear deteriorated product at the time of the current maintenance is acquired from the consumption meter 42 and the use time accumulator 43, respectively. It may be compared with the replenishment / replacement necessary threshold set in (1). For this replenishment / replacement necessity threshold, the value stored in the consumable deteriorated product management table 411a is read and used.

  Further, “3. Prediction of the next maintenance time” can be estimated from the schedule of the periodic inspection and the past maintenance history data 411c stored in the storage unit 411. The maintenance history data 411c stores the maintenance date and time performed in the past, and the consumable deteriorated product management table 411a stores the date and time when the last replenishment replacement for each consumable deteriorated product is stored. From one data, it is possible to predict when maintenance will be performed next.

  In addition, “4. Judgment of recommendation possibility in current maintenance” specifically, causes the wear deterioration prediction unit 412c to predict a change in the wear deterioration state until the next maintenance, and the result and the threshold value for replenishment replacement. Based on the comparison, it should be determined whether or not replenishment replacement is required before the next maintenance, and replenishment replacement at this maintenance should be recommended for consumable deteriorated products that require replenishment replacement until the next maintenance. Judge.

  Specifically, the wear deterioration prediction unit 412c includes a wear deterioration rate indicating a ratio of the wear deterioration state per unit usage time to the wear deterioration state at the time of the current maintenance and the time from the current maintenance to the next maintenance scheduled time. Predict the amount of wear deterioration at the time of the next maintenance schedule by adding the product with the use time of the wear deteriorated product.

  In addition, since the change in the consumption deterioration state changes depending on the usage mode, the vehicle travel history (travel distance, driving operation, rainy weather / sunny weather, etc.) is stored in the storage unit 11 as travel history data 411b. By referring to the travel history data 411b, it is possible to accurately predict the transition of the consumption deterioration state.

  In the case where “4. Judgment of Recommendation for Current Maintenance” is determined using the replenishment replacement recommended threshold, the wear deterioration predicting unit 412c executes a process for setting a recommended replacement replacement threshold for each consumable deteriorated product, The replenishment / replacement recommendation determination unit 412b determines whether or not replenishment / replacement at the current maintenance should be recommended by comparing the consumption deterioration state at the current maintenance and the recommended replacement / replacement threshold.

  By the way, in “3. Prediction of next maintenance time”, the replacement replacement is performed next to any of the consumable deteriorated products based on the transition of the consumable deteriorated state of each consumable deteriorated product predicted by the consumable deteriorated product predicting unit 412c. The necessary timing may be set as the next scheduled maintenance date.

  The notification processing unit 412b executes a process of notifying the passenger and a contact person outside the vehicle of the determination result of the replenishment / replacement recommendation determination unit. Specifically, the display unit 409 and the audio output unit 410 are used for the consumable deteriorated product determined to be replenished and replaced by the replenishment replacement recommended determining unit 412a and the consumable deteriorated product determined to be recommended for replacement replacement. To inform the vehicle occupants.

  For example, if the content of this notification is to detect the need for refilling gasoline and recommend changing oil, “please refill gasoline. It is recommended that you change oil at the same time.” Any notification content may be created.

  Further, the notification unit 412b notifies the nearest gas station, car supply store, dealer, etc. via the communication device 46 of information regarding the recommended wear-out deteriorated product. By this notification, for example, it is possible to prepare in advance a consumable deteriorated product necessary at a gas station or a car supply store, and the maintenance work itself can be made more efficient. Furthermore, on the dealer side, it is possible to accurately grasp the state of the customer's vehicle.

  Next, a specific example of the consumable deteriorated product management table 411a shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a specific example of the consumable deteriorated product management table 411a shown in FIG.

  As shown in the figure, the consumable deteriorated product is classified into a consumable product and a deteriorated product. The consumables are members that are consumed and depleted, and specifically, are vehicle coolant, window washer fluid, gasoline, oil, batteries, and tires. Deteriorated products are members whose characteristics change with time, and are vehicle wiper blades, air filters, oil elements, cooling water, fan belts, timing belts, and brake pads.

  As shown in the figure, the consumable deteriorated product management table is a table for managing the consumable deteriorated rate, the use time, the replenishment / replacement threshold, and the latest maintenance date for each consumable deteriorated product. The consumption deterioration rate of the consumables indicates the amount of consumption of the consumables per unit time of the vehicle travel time excluding the battery. Moreover, the consumption deterioration rate of a battery shows the fall of charging / discharging efficiency per unit time.

  The use time is the use time of a consumable deteriorated product. For example, for consumables, it is the running time of the vehicle, but the window washer fluid and the battery strongly depend on the usage mode. For deteriorated products, this is the time measured by the usage time accumulator 43.

  The replenishment / replacement threshold for consumables is a threshold that indicates when consumables need to be replenished or replaced. Further, the threshold value for replacement of the deteriorated product is a replacement life set by using the use time of the deteriorated product, and is a threshold indicating a time for replacing the deteriorated product. The latest maintenance date indicates the latest date when each consumable deteriorated product is replenished and replaced.

  Next, the processing operation of the consumable deteriorated product management apparatus 40 shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the consumable deteriorated product management apparatus 40 shown in FIG. 3, and this processing flow is repeatedly executed when the consumable deteriorated product management apparatus 40 is in operation.

  As shown in the figure, the consumable deteriorated product management apparatus 40 first acquires the state of the consumable deteriorated product from the consumable meter 42 and the use time accumulator 43 (step S101). Then, the replenishment / replacement recommendation determination unit 412b compares the state of the consumable deteriorated product with the replenishment / replacement necessary threshold value, and detects a consumable deteriorated product that needs to be replaced (step S102).

  As a result, if a consumable deteriorated product that needs replenishment replacement is detected (step S102, Yes), the notification unit 412b performs notification of a consumable deteriorated product that requires replenishment replacement (step S103).

  On the other hand, when a consumable deteriorated product that needs to be replaced / replaced is not detected (No at Step S102), the replacement / replacement recommended determination unit 412a predicts or detects the occurrence of maintenance from the scheduled periodic inspection or the current position of the vehicle ( Step S106).

  When the occurrence of maintenance is predicted / detected (step S106, Yes), or after notification of a consumable deteriorated product that needs replenishment replacement (step S103), the replenishment replacement recommendation determination unit 412a replenishes the current maintenance. A replenishment replacement recommendation determination process, which is a determination process of whether there is a consumable deteriorated product to be replaced, is executed (step S104).

  As a result, when there is a consumable deteriorated product that should be recommended for replenishment replacement (Yes in step S105), the replenishment replacement recommendation determining unit 412a performs notification using the notification unit 412b of the consumable deteriorated product that should be recommended for replenishment replacement. (Step S107).

  When there is no maintenance plan (No at Step S106), when there is no consumable deteriorated product that should be recommended for replacement (Step S105, No), or after the completion of Step S107, the consumable deteriorated product management apparatus 40 ends the process. .

  Next, the replenishment replacement recommendation determination process shown in FIG. 5, step S104, will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing in more detail the replenishment replacement recommendation determination process shown in FIG. 5, step S104. As already described, there are two methods for determining whether or not replenishment replacement should be recommended: a method of predicting a consumption deterioration state at the time of the next maintenance and comparing it with a threshold for replacement replacement, and a method of using a recommended replacement replacement threshold. Although there is a method, here, a method of predicting the wear deterioration state at the time of the next maintenance and comparing it with the replenishment replacement necessary threshold value will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in the figure, the replenishment replacement recommendation determination unit 412a first calculates the next maintenance time from the travel history, maintenance history, and the like (step S201). Next, the state of the consumable deteriorated product at the next maintenance is predicted with reference to the consumable deteriorated product management table 411a (step S202).

  Then, the predicted state of the consumable deteriorated product at the next maintenance is compared with the replenishment replacement necessary threshold value, and it is determined whether or not there is a consumable deteriorated product that needs to be replenished and replaced by the next maintenance (step). S203).

  As a result, if there is a consumable deteriorated product that needs to be replenished and replaced by the next maintenance (step S203, Yes), the replenishment / replacement recommendation determining unit 412a needs to be replaced and replaced by the next maintenance. The consumable deteriorated product is determined to be a “consumable deteriorated product that should be recommended for replacement” (step S204), and the replenishment replacement recommended determination processing ends.

  On the other hand, if there is no consumable deteriorated product that needs replenishment replacement until the next maintenance (No in step S203), the replenishment replacement recommendation determining unit 412a determines that there is no consumable deteriorated product that should be recommended for replenishment replacement. Step S205) The replenishment replacement recommendation determination process is terminated.

  By the way, for consumable deteriorated products that are heavily consumed, such as gasoline, and are frequently refilled and replaced, even if there is a sufficient remaining amount during this maintenance, the threshold for replenishment and replacement will be reached by the next maintenance There is.

  For this reason, if such wear-out deteriorated products are judged based on whether or not they need to be replenished / replaced until the next maintenance, and notification is given at the time of this maintenance, replenishment / replacement of these wear-out deteriorated products is always recommended. Therefore, the value as a judgment material for the user decreases.

  For this reason, it is desirable that such a consumable deteriorated product is not notified at the time of the current maintenance, but is notified when the need for replacement replacement increases.

  With reference to FIG. 7, the notification timing control based on the amount of wear deterioration during the current maintenance will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating notification timing control based on the consumption deterioration amount during the current maintenance. In this figure, the consumption deterioration amount a31 from Max (full amount) at the time of the current maintenance has not reached the replenishment replacement necessary threshold Th31, but the consumption deterioration amount a32 at the next maintenance has reached the replenishment replacement necessary threshold Th31. Basically, replacement replacement should be recommended.

  Here, the wear deterioration amount a31 at the time of the current maintenance is acquired, and when the wear deterioration amount a31 has not reached the predetermined value (α), it is recommended that it is almost full at the time of the current maintenance. Since the notification is made more than necessary, the recommended notification is not executed at the time of this maintenance, and the notification for requesting replenishment replacement is executed at the time when the wear deterioration further progresses.

  With reference to FIG. 8, the processing operation of the consumable deteriorated product management apparatus 40 when the notification timing is controlled based on the consumable deterioration amount shown in FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the consumable deteriorated product management apparatus 40 when the notification timing is controlled based on the consumable deterioration amount shown in FIG. Steps S301 to S306 in this flowchart are the same as Steps S101 to S106 shown in FIG. 5, so description thereof is omitted here, and Steps S307 to S309 are described.

  First, in step S307, the replenishment replacement recommendation determination unit 411a determines whether or not the amount of wear deterioration during the current maintenance of the wear deteriorated product to be replaced is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.

  As a result, if the consumption deterioration amount is equal to or greater than the predetermined value (step S307, Yes), the replenishment replacement recommendation determination unit 411a immediately notifies (at the time of the current maintenance) about the consumable deterioration product that should be recommended for replacement replacement. (Step S308), and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the amount of wear deterioration is less than the predetermined value (No in step S307), the replenishment replacement recommendation determination unit 411a performs notification regarding a consumable deterioration product that should be recommended for refill replacement by specifying a time (notification timing). (Step S309), and the process ends.

  As described above, in the consumable deteriorated product management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the state of a plurality of consumable deteriorated products is managed, the occurrence of maintenance is predicted and detected, and replenishment replacement is required until the next maintenance. It is recommended to replace and replace the consumable deteriorated product at the time of this maintenance, so that the efficiency and labor saving of the entire maintenance can be realized.
