(S5). Thereafter, in S6, the threat processing is performed by the threat apparatus 10, and the report processing is performed to the service center 1 and the portable telephone 3.
- the control device 8 in the automobile 2 refers to the abnormality detection-correspondence processing table to perform the threat processing and the notification processing. It is convenient if the change can be made by the user. This is because, for example, when the abnormality detection-response processing table shown in Fig. 3 is prepared by default, the user wants to perform another response processing (or performs the response processing). I don't want to let them) Power.
- the abnormality detection-correspondence processing table it is possible to perform parameter change processing for each user indicating which threat processing and / or notification processing is to be performed when each abnormality is detected. I am doing it. That is, each parameter can be changed by software, and even if the parameter is set in advance, the change processing can be performed through communication. Then, when the user changes each parameter, it is possible to set an abnormality detection-response processing table different from the default, and it is possible to construct a vehicle theft prevention service according to the user's preference.
- the user When changing parameters from the mobile phone 3, the user first accesses a service content change homepage provided by the service server 6 by a browser function. Then, for example, authentication is performed by inputting an ID and a password, and a change processing screen for the service content used by the user is displayed.
- Fig. 4 shows an example of this change processing screen.
- the setting of the threat processing performed when the door opening / closing is detected in the normal mode is displayed. In this example, when the door opening / closing is detected, it is set so that only the sound of the circle is performed.
- the content of the threat processing is selected and clicked (corresponding to a specific button of the input unit 15).
- the service center 1 receives an instruction to change the parameter setting from the vehicle 2 via the communication network 4.
- the service server 6 An instruction is given to the vehicle 2 via the communication network 4 to change the parameter settings.
- the control device 8 changes the parameter setting of the abnormality detection-correspondence processing table, and determines which intimidation processing and / or notification processing to perform at each abnormality detection.
- the control device 8 controls the communication device 7 to transmit information detected by the sensor 9 to the service server 6.
- the service server 6 that has received the information from the car 2 considers the information and appropriately transmits to the car 2 an instruction to set parameters corresponding to the current situation of the car 2.
- the control device 8 Based on the transmitted instruction, the control device 8 changes the parameter setting of the abnormality detection-one-response processing table, and determines which threat processing and Z or notification processing to perform at each abnormality detection. .
- the communication device 7 transmits the position information of the vehicle detected by the GPS antenna of the vehicle to the service server 6, and the service server 6 understands that the car 2 is in the parking lot of the user's home. However, the service server 6 is alerted to vandalism from theft and sends an instruction to the vehicle 2 to set a parameter to make a report “main” from a threat.
- the communication device 7 receives the transmitted parameter setting instruction.-Based on the received instruction, the control device 8 changes the parameters of the abnormality detection-correspondence processing table, and performs caution.
- the service server 6 can automatically perform the parameter change processing according to the parking time, the parking time, and the like as well as the parking place. This makes it possible to operate the optimum vehicle anti-theft service according to the time and place without the user having to perform complicated operations.
- the user can determine whether or not to perform such automatic parameter change from the service server 6, under what conditions, and how many times and for how long. It can be freely determined. This determination can be made from the mobile phone 3 or the car 2 in the same way as the parameter setting is changed.
- the parameter change process is performed via the service center 1 in any case.
- parameter changes can only be made by obtaining permission from the service center 1.
- the service server 6 manages the inspection when a complicated parameter setting or inconsistency occurs. This is because the service server 6 can perform more efficient management than an in-vehicle terminal device having a limited processing speed / memory.
- the complicated parameter settings include, for example, parameter settings according to time zones and parking places, such as forgoing immediate threatening measures in consideration of family malfunctions in the user's home parking lot, or After the abnormal sound is detected by the microphone, the program is set so that the sensitivity of the other sensors 9 is increased to make the alert situation stricter. Inspection of inconsistency is, for example, an inspection of a setting in which no action is taken even if an abnormality is detected during the operation of the vehicle anti-theft service. Attention should be used. This caution is given by e-mail or the like to the user's mobile phone 3, but other methods may be used.
- the service center 1 exchanges information with the automobile 2 through the communication network 4 and performs processing for changing each parameter.
- the user accesses the service center 1 from the mobile phone 3 or the car 2 and sends the car 2 an instruction to perform a parameter change process. Therefore, when the anti-theft system is operated, the service center 1 goes through the service center 1. Therefore, the service center 1 uses the current usage status of the vehicle anti-theft service for each user and the parameters of the abnormality detection-response processing table. Know the user database that includes the number of changes to the user.
- the charging server 5 stores the above user database, and when a parameter is changed, the entire user database is stored. Based on this parameter change, the accounting server 5 performs an accounting operation, accumulates the usage fee, and periodically requests the user to pay.
- the parameters of the abnormality detection-response processing table are changed under the permission of the service center 1, but it is assumed that the permission is granted by the service center 1 and a fee will be charged if the parameters are changed. . That is, the billing server 5 is configured so that the user cannot change the parameters without permission (for free).
- the billing server 5 can also perform a billing process based on detailed fee settings according to the use time, the number of times of use, and the place of use of each function of the abnormality detection-correspondence process. Of course, it is also possible to set such that no billing process is performed for a change within a certain number of times or within a certain period.
- This billing process is per user Do.
- the billing server 5 checks whether or not a certain period of use of the vehicle anti-theft service has ended (S11).
- the certain period refers to a period that is a unit of a billing period, such as one month.
- the charging server 5 checks in S 12 whether an operation for changing the parameter has been performed. If 1 ⁇ 2 at 3 1 2, that is, if there is no parameter change operation, the process returns to S 11.
- 3 1 2 is £ 3, that is, if there is a parameter change operation, it is confirmed in S 13 whether the car 2 can actually perform the processing. This is because, for example, if the sensor 9 does not function for some reason, the process may not be performed even if one of the response processes is selected for the abnormality detection of the sensor 9. To do it. As a result, even if the user operates a parameter change for a process that cannot be used by mistake, the cost is not requested.
- the control device 8 transmits the data of the abnormality detection-response processing table stored in the control device 8 itself. Change parameters. Thereafter, in S16, the accounting server 5 stores the number and contents of the parameter change operation, returns to S11, and repeats until the fixed period ends.
- the billing server 5 determines the number of parameter change operations permitted and permitted by the service center 1 during the fixed period. Integrate based on the information stored in 3.
- the charging server 5 calculates a value for each of the accumulated operations, and in S19 calculates the usage fee of the vehicle anti-theft service for a certain period including the basic fee.
- the service server 6 bills the user for the usage fee (cash, credit, etc.) of the vehicle theft service for the certain period (S20).
- the request method may be a conventional method such as mail or mail.
- billing can also be similarly performed for addition of the following options.
- the option is a function or a device having a function that can be added to the automobile 2 later.
- the user can freely add, for example, a retrofitting horn for intimidation or a new anti-theft sensor 9.
- Each device does not operate simply by connecting it to the in-vehicle terminal device.
- the service providing system downloads data such as rewrite, change, and adjustment from the service server 6 to rewrite the abnormality detection-correspondence processing table and change or adjust the control device 8.
- the user can now use the option from the mobile phone 3 or the car 2. Therefore, the user can purchase an option and use the function of the option to easily improve the in-vehicle terminal device. Also, there is no need for the service provider to remove and improve the control device 8 after installation, and the service can be easily changed.
- the control device 8 may be changed so that it can be used according to the use of the option. For example, if the user has added sensor 9, the settings can be changed frequently and the default state can be constantly updated, and if the horn has been added, the tone and volume can be adjusted according to the application. Then, the control device 8 is set by downloading from the service server 6.
- the billing server 5 performs billing processing in consideration of the use of these options, and finally bills the user. Collect fees by charging for a limited use period or number of options, providing specific options at a fixed fee, or charging for usage of hourly options as a pay-as-you-go system. It is also possible to do. There is a trial period of the option like shareware, and after that, it is possible to perform billing processing such as billing if used. Also, a combination of the above charging processes may be performed.
- the service center 1 can provide an option for restricting functions to all functions including those provided as standard.
- the user can temporarily stop the functions, stop functions that are no longer used, or change options. For example, it is possible to temporarily stop the notification of the vehicle position by GPS, or to suspend the video monitoring by the camera in the vehicle.
