  Operation | movement of the emergency recruitment system 1 which has the said structure is shown. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a simultaneous distribution procedure performed in the computer apparatus (PC) 3. As described above, this distribution operation program is stored in the memory in the computer main body 11 and is executed by the CPU in the computer main body 11.

  First, the PC 3 distributes blood transfusion information (recruitment information) including hospital information and demand blood type information simultaneously to the vehicle-mounted devices 5 of all vehicles through the network line 8a by the modem 12 (step S1).

  Thereafter, the PC 3 waits until there is a notification of arrival at the destination, that is, waits for a vehicle that has arrived at the hospital (step S2). However, if there is no notification of arrival after waiting for a certain period of time, the process is terminated.

  When there is a notification of arrival at the destination, the PC 3 determines whether or not the number of blood donation cooperators gathered at the hospital has reached a certain number (step S3). If the recruitment number is not reached, the PC 3 returns to step S2. However, if the recruitment number is not reached even after waiting for a certain time, the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the recruitment number is reached in step S3, the PC 3 distributes the fact to the vehicle-mounted device 5 and ends the recruitment (step S4). Thereafter, the PC 3 ends this operation.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a notification operation procedure performed in the vehicle-mounted device 5. This notification operation program is stored in the memory 27 in the terminal body 5a and is periodically executed by the CPU in the control unit 21.

  The control unit 21 determines whether or not blood transfusion information has been received from the PC 3 (step S11). The processing in step S11 corresponds to recruitment receiving means. If the transfusion information has not been received in step S11, the control unit 21 ends this operation.

  On the other hand, when the blood transfusion information is received, the control unit 21 moves the vehicle from the hospital within a predetermined area (for example, based on the position data of the hospital included in the blood transfusion information and the current position of the vehicle obtained from the GPS antenna 43). It is determined whether it is within 5 km (step S12). Obtaining the current position from the GPS antenna corresponds to current position acquisition means.

  If not within the predetermined area (within range), the control unit 21 repeats the process of step S12. However, if it is not within the area even after repeating the predetermined time and number of times, the process is terminated. On the other hand, when it exists in a predetermined area, the control part 21 notifies a driver | operator etc. with a voice from the speaker 42 with a target hospital and a demand blood type (step S13). Then, the control unit 21 transmits blood transfusion information including the position data of the target hospital and the demand blood group data to the navigation device 46 (step S14).

  The control unit 21 prompts the driver to determine whether or not to display the received blood transfusion information on the screen of the navigation device 46 using the operation switch included in the switch group 45 (step S15). Displaying the blood transfusion information on the screen of the navigation device 46 in step S15 corresponds to a position presenting means for presenting a position where cooperation is required. When not displaying on the screen of the navigation apparatus 46 at step S15, a process is complete | finished.

  On the other hand, when displaying on the screen of the navigation device 46, the control unit 21 prompts the driver to determine whether or not to set the target hospital as the destination by using the operation switch included in the switch group 45 ( Step S16). The process in step S16 corresponds to an instruction receiving unit. If the destination is not set in step S16, the process ends.

  On the other hand, when setting as a destination (destination setting means), the control unit 21 starts route guidance (step S17). When route guidance is started, a travel route is set on the map on the screen of the navigation device 46, and blood transfusion information is displayed on the screen.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a navigation screen 50 of the navigation device 46. The navigation screen 50 includes a mark 51 indicating the current position of the vehicle, a mark 53 indicating the position of the destination hospital, a field 58 indicating information such as demand blood group data, a line 55 indicating a travel route, and an emergency. A message 57 indicating that the information is transfusion information is displayed. In the figure, the line 55 is represented by a series of black circles.

  And the control part 21 waits until route guidance is complete | finished (step S18). When arriving at the destination and finishing the route guidance, the control unit 21 notifies the arrival of the destination to the PC on the hospital side in response to the operation of the operation switch included in the switch group 45 being operated by the driver (step). S19). Thereafter, the control unit 21 ends this operation.

  Thus, according to the emergency recruitment system of the first embodiment, blood donors can be widely recruited, and people can be quickly gathered in the hospital in the event of an emergency.

  Further, since the position of the hospital is displayed as the destination on the navigation screen, and the travel route from the current position is displayed, the partner's car can be guided to the hospital very quickly.

  Further, when the target hospital is not within a predetermined area, blood transfusion information is not emitted from the speaker and is not notified to the driver, so that it is not bothered by unnecessary judgment for blood transfusion.

  Further, since the PC is notified that the vehicle has arrived at the destination, the PC can quickly determine whether or not the number of recruited persons has reached a certain number.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, emergency delivery is performed all at once for the vehicle-mounted devices mounted on the vehicle. However, in the second embodiment, the emergency delivery is mounted on a vehicle existing in a predetermined distance range (in an area). This shows the case where emergency delivery is performed only to the on-board unit.

  In addition, the emergency recruitment system of the second embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the configuration shown in FIG. 1 of the first embodiment, and therefore the same components as those of the first embodiment are the same. The description is omitted by using the reference numerals.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a limited distribution procedure performed by the computer apparatus (PC) 3 in the second embodiment. As described above, this distribution operation program is stored in the memory in the computer main body 11 and is executed by the CPU in the computer main body 11.

  First, the PC 3 requests current position information from all the vehicles (step S31). The process in step S31 corresponds to a request transmission unit. Then, the PC 3 waits until receiving the current position information of the vehicle (step S32). However, if there is no response after waiting for a certain time and number of times, the process is terminated.

  When receiving the current position information of the vehicle, the PC 3 specifies a vehicle within a predetermined area (for example, within 5 km) from the hospital (step S33). In this vehicle identification, for example, vehicles are selected from a vehicle closest to the hospital position until a certain number is reached in order. The processing in step S33 corresponds to position determination means.

  The PC 3 performs limited distribution of the blood transfusion information to the fixed number of vehicles specified in step S33 (step S34).

  Thereafter, the PC 3 waits until there is a notification of arrival at the destination, that is, waits until there is a vehicle that has arrived at the hospital (step S35).

  When there is a notification of arrival at the destination, the PC 3 determines whether or not the number of blood donation cooperators gathered at the hospital has reached a certain number (step S36). If the number has not been reached, the PC 3 returns to step S35.

  On the other hand, when the recruitment number is reached in step S36, the PC 3 distributes that fact to the vehicle-mounted device 5 and ends the recruitment (step S37). Thereafter, the PC 3 ends this operation.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a notification operation procedure performed in the vehicle-mounted device 5. This notification operation program is stored in the memory 27 in the terminal body 5a and is periodically executed by the CPU in the control unit 21.

  The control unit 21 determines whether or not a position information request (current position acquisition request) has been received from the PC 3 (step S41). The process in step S41 corresponds to a request receiving unit. If the request for position information has not been received in step S41, the control unit 21 ends this operation.

  On the other hand, when the position information request is received in step S41, the control unit 21 transmits the current position information of the vehicle obtained from the GPS antenna 43 to the PC 3 (step S42). The processing in step S42 corresponds to position transmission means.

  The control unit 21 determines whether or not blood transfusion information has been received from the PC 3 (step S43). When the blood transfusion information has not been received, the control unit 21 ends this operation.

  On the other hand, when the blood transfusion information is received in step S43, the control unit 21 notifies (notifies) the driver of the target hospital and the demand blood type by voice from the speaker 42 (step S44). And the control part 21 transmits the transfusion information containing the position data and the demand blood type data of the hospital which becomes object to the navigation apparatus 46 (step S45).

  The control unit 21 prompts the driver to determine whether or not to display the received blood transfusion information on the screen of the navigation device 46 using the operation switch included in the switch group 45 (step S46). When not displaying on the screen of the navigation apparatus 46, a process is complete | finished.

  On the other hand, when displaying on the screen of the navigation device 46, the control unit 21 prompts the driver to determine whether or not to set the target hospital as the destination by using the operation switch included in the switch group 45 ( Step S47). If the destination is not set, the process ends.

  On the other hand, when setting as a destination, the control part 21 starts route guidance (step S48). When route guidance is started, a travel route is set on the map on the screen of the navigation device 46, and blood transfusion information is displayed on the screen (see FIG. 4).

  And the control part 21 waits until route guidance is complete | finished (step S49). Upon arrival at the destination, the route guidance is completed, and the control unit 21 notifies the arrival of the destination to the PC 3 on the hospital side in response to the operation switch included in the switch group 45 being operated by the driver (step S21). S50). Thereafter, the control unit 21 ends this operation.

  Thus, according to the emergency recruitment system of the second embodiment, blood transfusion information can be distributed only to vehicles in the vicinity that can become blood transfusion cooperators in an emergency, and quickly and efficiently in an emergency. Can gather people.
