Abstract
A tire operation service system includes a tire information monitoring device to monitor information on a tire and detect position information and unique identifying information, a tire operation server including a user information database stored with user information corresponding to the identifying information and a shop information database stored with position information on each shop and connected to the tire information monitoring device via a communication network, and a shop terminal and a user terminal connected to the tire operation server via a communication network, wherein the tire operation server includes a user information extraction unit, a nearby shop extraction unit, a shop-with-handling-ability extraction unit, and a shop information transmission unit.
Claims12
A tire operation service system comprising:
- a tire information monitoring device installed in a vehicle to monitor information on a tire mounted on the vehicle and a detect position information, including unique identifying information;
- a tire operation server including a user information database stored with user information corresponding to the identifying information and a shop information database stored with position information on each shop and connected to the tire information monitoring device via a communication network;
- and
- a shop terminal and a user terminal connected to the tire operation server via a communication network, wherein
- the tire operation server comprises:
- a user information extraction unit that, on a basis of identifying information transmitted from the tire information monitoring device together with tire abnormality information, extracts user information corresponding to the identifying information from the user information database;
- a nearby shop extraction unit that, on a basis of position information transmitted from the tire information monitoring device together with the tire abnormality information and the user information extracted by the user information extraction unit, extracts nearby shops matching the position information and the user information from the shop information database;
- a shop-with-handling-ability extraction unit that extracts a handling-ability shop, in which failure handling is possible, from the nearby shops on a basis of information on possibility of failure handling transmitted from a shop terminal of the nearby shops;
- and
- a shop information transmission unit that transmits shop information on the handling-ability shop to the user terminal.
A tire operation service method using a tire information monitoring device installed in a vehicle, including a function of monitoring information on a tire mounted on the vehicle and a function of detecting position information, and including unique identifying information, a tire operation server including a user information database stored with user information corresponding to the identifying information and a shop information database stored with position information on each shop and connected to the tire information monitoring device via a communication network, and a shop terminal and a user terminal connected to the tire operation server via a communication network;
- the method comprising:
- the tire operation server performing:
- a user information extraction step of, on a basis of identifying information transmitted from the tire information monitoring device together with tire abnormality information, extracting user information corresponding to the identifying information from the user information database;
- a nearby shop extraction step of, on a basis of position information transmitted from the tire information monitoring device together with the tire abnormality information and the user information extracted by the user information extraction unit, extracting nearby shops matching the position information and the user information from the shop information database;
- a shop-with-handling-ability extraction step of extracting a handling-ability shop, in which failure handling is possible, from the nearby shops on a basis of information on possibility of failure handling transmitted from a shop terminal of the nearby shops;
- and
- a shop information transmission step of transmitting shop information on the handling-ability shop to the user terminal.
