Operator management device, operator management system, and operator management method
First Claim
1. An electronic car sharing determination method for a plurality of shared vehicles allocated to stations using a shared vehicle management device in communication with an onboard device of a first shared vehicle and an operator terminal device, the method comprising:
- determining, by the onboard device, a state information of the first shared vehicle including an energy amount sensed by an energy amount sensor of the first shared vehicle;
acquiring, by the shared vehicle management device, the state information of the first shared vehicle of the plurality of shared vehicles from the onboard device;
calculating, by the shared vehicle management device, a utilization rate of the first shared vehicle;
determining, by the shared vehicle management device, that a transportation object vehicle to be transported to an energy supply facility for restoring is the first shared vehicle so that the state information changes to a predetermined target value, the determination being made on a basis of the energy amount of the first shared vehicle being less than a predetermined remaining amount threshold and the utilization rate is less than a predetermined rate, among the plurality of shared vehicles of which the remaining amount of energy is more than the predetermined remaining amount threshold;
calculating, by the onboard device, the state information further including a remaining amount of energy used to drive the first shared vehicle to the energy supply facility;
acquiring, from the onboard device of the first shared vehicle that further includes a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, a first current position of the shared vehicle;
acquiring, from a second GPS receiver in the operator terminal device, a second current position of the operator terminal device;
determining, by the shared vehicle management device and using the first current position and the second current position, the operator terminal device based on the device being within a short distance from the transportation object vehicle as the operator device to receive an electronic task instruction to transport the transportation object vehicle;
transmitting, by the shared vehicle management device, the electronic task instruction to the operator terminal device to transport the transportation object vehicle to the energy supply facility; and
receiving, by the shared vehicle management device, execution progress information of the electronic task instruction from the operator terminal device until the transportation object vehicle arrives to the energy supply facility.

Abstract
An operator management device for managing work of an operator in a car sharing system that allows users to use shared vehicles allocated to stations includes a vehicle state acquisition unit configured to acquire state information of the shared vehicle, a transportation object vehicle specifying unit configured to specify a transportation object vehicle to be transported to a facility for restoring the shared vehicle so that the state information changes to a predetermined target value, on a basis of the state information of the shared vehicle and a utilization rate of the shared vehicle for rent at each station, and an operator management unit configured to generate an instruction of a task for the operator who transports the specified transportation object vehicle to the facility and manage execution of the task.
