Description

MULTIFUNCTION INTEGRATED DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MOBILITY IN

VEHICLE

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to an integrated multi-function device and method for vehicle mobility, particularly electrical mobility. It applies, in particular, to the field of land transport.

STATE OF THE ART

Carsharing services are known, which consist, for an owner of a vehicle, to make this vehicle available to third-party users. These services require a first infrastructure. Carpooling services are also known, which consist, for a vehicle owner, in proposing to carry at least one third in his vehicle. These services require a second infrastructure. For the owner of a vehicle who wishes to offer these two services, it is necessary to implement these two infrastructures. What is complex and difficult and source of incompatibilities between the commitments made on the different services.

In the case of an electric vehicle, the situation is further complicated with the need to allow the vehicle to be recharged with charging stations, public or private, arranged near the roadway. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention aims to remedy all or part of these disadvantages. For this purpose, according to a first aspect, the present invention aims a multifunction integrated device for vehicle mobility, which comprises:

- At least one secure closure fixed housing, each said housing comprising a movable door between a closed position and an open position, the housing comprising a lock for locking the door in the closed position, housing which further comprises:

a means for accessing an identifier of an object,

a means of access to a user's authenticator, means for authenticating a candidate user to determine whether the candidate user corresponds to the user authenticator,

means for identifying an object present in the case, which provides an object identifier or an absence of object identification in the case, a controller of the locking device, adapted to control the lock, function of the signals transmitted by the authentication means and the identification means;

for at least one vehicle, a geolocation system in said vehicle and a system for transmitting, remotely, an identifier and the geographical position of the vehicle; and

at least one remote server for communicating at least one object identifier to each box, to receive the identifier and the geographical position of at least one vehicle and to associate at least one vehicle with an object and to associate a route of vehicle to at least one user.

Thanks to these provisions, a user can retrieve a vehicle key in a secure housing and make a journey by car sharing or carpooling, the server receiving the path data for assigning to each user, driver or passenger carpool, the journey made with the vehicle in question.

When an individual wants to share his vehicle after registering online, he uses a terminal in which he drops his key (advantage: he did not change his own vehicle so he did not incur any costs of access to the offer). The geolocation of the vehicle will be made by a rechargeable / portable geotrator that was in the key box and that it hides in his vehicle.

The advantages are of several kinds:

- better economic efficiency for the user of a car pool by way of the combined carpooling (cost sharing for the user),

- better economic efficiency also for the provider of the charging infrastructure (increased use, therefore the effective recharge time, instead of immobilizing a terminal while the vehicle is loaded full and unused) and

- ease of entry and better economic efficiency car sharing offer for a vehicle owner (because no modification of the vehicle is necessary to put it in carsharing). In embodiments, the device comprises, for at least one vehicle, means for determining whether the journey is made by carpooling, the transmission system of this vehicle being adapted:

to transmit to the server the geographical position of the vehicle at a first frequency if the journey is made without carpooling and

- To transmit to the server the geographical position of the vehicle at a second frequency higher than the first frequency, near a meeting place to start a ride.

Thanks to these provisions, the journey is more precisely determined for the beginning of carpooling phases, which allows the driver and the passenger to find themselves more easily.

In embodiments, the server is configured to assign, to at least one user, an amount based on a route made and the mode of transport with or without carpool.

Thanks to these provisions, different users, car-pooling in a car-sharing vehicle, are automatically allocated amounts corresponding to the service and journey they received.

In embodiments, at least one said remote server hosts a site of the web giving access to carsharing and carpooling services with single authentication.

With these provisions, a user authenticates only once for different mobility services.

In embodiments, carsharing and carpooling services make it possible to carpool with a vehicle obtained by car sharing.

Thanks to these provisions, the invention offers new opportunities for sharing resources, saving energy and reducing pollution.

This allows the driver in a car-sharing situation (thus driving the vehicle of a third-party owner) to also declare himself a carpooling driver and thus offer his services to users of the integrated platform.

The invention thus makes it possible to integrate in a unified ergonomic manner all the types of access and usage rights in a mobility situation that are necessary for the operation of these services, in particular to enable users to interact with each other. and with the platform, in a completely flexible way and in real time, and on both modes at once. These rights concern in particular documents, keys, vehicles, charging energy, GPS trackers, etc.

In embodiments, at least one said vehicle is electric and the site of the fabric gives access to a reservation of at least one electric vehicle charging terminal.

Thanks to these provisions, the invention offers new facilities for using an electric vehicle and thus reduce pollution.

In embodiments, at least one secure housing is provided with an electric charging means of a geolocation system,

Thanks to these provisions, the user can leave the location system in the secure housing, on the one hand, and the latter being recharged in the housing does not need to be recharged in the vehicle, other go.

In embodiments, the object identification means is an electronic tag reader adapted to read an electronic tag associated with the object and retaining the identification code.

Thanks to these provisions, the identification of an object is easy and one avoids the problems of deterioration and masking of the printed labels.

In embodiments, at least one secure housing further includes:

a means of accessing an authenticator of a user who has to make a deposit of the object,

means for authenticating a candidate user to determine whether the candidate user corresponds to the user credential to perform the deposition of the object, the controller of the locking device being adapted to

. when the door is closed and the object identification device indicates a lack of object identification in the housing, transmitting an unlock command to the locking device only after authentication of the user to perform the deposit of the object,

. transmitting a lock command after the object identification device has provided an object identifier that matches the received identifier, and

. triggering an alert and inhibiting the door lock when the object identification device provides an object identifier that does not match the received object identifier. Thus, the box made available to different users can be locked only if it is empty or contains a predetermined object. When the box is empty, for a user to unlock the box, place an object and lock the box, a user credential and an identifier of the object, it is cumulative that the user is authenticated and that the object is identified. In the event that the user is authenticated but the object is not identified, a user-perceptible warning signal is triggered at the box. In the case of carsharing, the box triggers an alert if the object put in the box, for example the key and / or documents, does not correspond to the object associated with the expected vehicle.

In embodiments, the authentication means of the candidate user to determine whether the candidate user corresponds to the user credential to perform the deposition of the object, include reading means, outside the case, an identifier carried by the object, and the determination whether the identifier read corresponds to the received object identifier.

Thanks to these provisions, it authenticates the user to deposit the object by the object itself, for example by reading an electronic tag, which simplifies the procedure and allows to check, even before opening the door of the housing, that the object to be deposited is in the hands of the user and can therefore be in the housing after locking the door.

In embodiments, at least one secure housing further includes:

a means of accessing an authenticator of a user to remove the object,

means for authenticating a candidate user for, after locking the door in the presence of the object in the box, determining whether the candidate user corresponds to the user authenticator having to remove the object,

- the locking device controller being further adapted for, when the door is closed and the object identification device has indicated that the housing contains an identified object, not transmitting an unlock command to the locking device after authentication of the user to remove the object.

Thus, a second authenticator being defined for a second user, who must remove an object from the housing, the housing does not unlock until the authentication through this other authenticator.

In embodiments, at least one box is configured to signal to at least one server that an object whose identifier has been transmitted to the box has been identified in the housing and at least one server is configured to signal, in response to this information, the provision of said object in said housing to a user who has reserved a vehicle associated with said object.

Thus the user who booked the vehicle can immediately go to the box to pick up the vehicle keys.

According to a second aspect, the present invention aims at a multifunction integrated method for vehicle mobility, which implements at least one fixed secure closure housing, each said housing comprising a movable door between a closed position and an open position, the housing having a latch for locking the door in a closed position, which method comprises:

a step of accessing an identifier of an object,

a step of accessing a credential of a user,

a step of authenticating a candidate user to determine whether the candidate user corresponds to the user authenticator,

a step of identifying an object present in the housing, which provides an object identifier or an absence of object identification in the housing,

a control step of the locking device, for controlling the lock, as a function of the signals transmitted by the authentication means and the identification means;

- At least one vehicle, a geolocation step in said vehicle and a step of transmitting, remotely, an identifier and the geographical position of the vehicle; and

at the level of at least one remote server, a step of communicating at least one object identifier to each box, and receiving the identifier and the geographical position of at least one vehicle and a step of associating at least one vehicle with an object and at least one vehicle path with at least one user.

The advantages, aims and particular characteristics of this process being similar to those of the device object of the invention, they are not recalled here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

Other advantages, aims and features of the invention will appear on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example, and with reference to the appended figures in which: FIG. 1 represents, schematically, means implemented in the device which is the subject of the invention,

FIG. 2 represents, in the form of a logic diagram, the steps implemented in a particular embodiment of the method which is the subject of the invention and

- Figure 3 shows, in the form of a logic diagram, steps implemented for the sharing of objects, including vehicle keys.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

As of now, we note that the figures are not to scale.

FIG. 1 shows a vehicle sharing system 10. This system implements at least one server, the "server" subsequently designating one or more servers, which hosts at least one site of the web ("web") and manages object identifiers and authentication credentials. users. The term "the site" designates, subsequently, a site or a plurality of sites, carsharing, car pooling and, possibly, reservation of electric charging stations of vehicles. In the case of a plurality of sites, these sites are preferably linked to a database managed by an ERP (acronym for "enterprise resource planning" for ERP, or ERP). The uniqueness of this back office (support service, or post-market, according to the official French terminology) allows facilitated interactions between the different sites.

The system 10 comprises, for at least one vehicle, a geolocation system 24 positioned in said vehicle and a system 25 for transmitting, remotely, an identifier and the geographical position of the vehicle.

The system 10 comprises a casing 1 1 securely closed with an internal volume 13 and a door 15 movable between a closed position and an open position (shown in Figure 1, in the open position), the housing 1 1 having a locking device 17 with electric control adapted to lock the door in closed position and keep it closed even in case of power failure.

The system also includes the remote server 12, for communicating at least one object identifier to each box 1 1, to receive the identifier and the geographical position of at least one transmission system 25 positioned in a vehicle and to associate with the least one vehicle to an object and to associate a vehicle trip with at least one user. The box 1 1 further comprises means 18 for accessing an identifier of an object associated with a time slot for depositing this object. Preferably, this access means 18 communicates with a server 12, on a mobile telephone network or a network of connected objects, for example Sigfox (registered trademark) or Lora (registered trademark).

The access means 18 may be, preferentially:

a memory internal to the housing 1 1, memory that keeps each object identifier and each time slot of the object thus identified, from the server 12, so that the controller 19 verifies that an object identifier read on an object is the one allowed for the current time range or

- Access to the server 12, to which the controller 19 addresses each object identifier read on an object, the server 12 then performing the verification that said identifier is the one authorized for the current time slot.

The housing comprises, in its interior, a means 22 for electric charging of a geolocation system. This is, for example, a USB connector (acronym for "Universal Serial Bus" for universal serial bus) or a contactless charging means, for example by induction.

The internet server 12 hosts the web site on which, after a single authentication:

a user wishing to make his vehicle available to a third party may select a place, for example a parking space, where he will leave his vehicle available at a time of his choice, the server addressing an identifier of an object, keys and / or administrative documents of the vehicle, to the box associated with the selected place and a time slot during which this object must be deposited in this box,

- a third party user wishing to use a vehicle thus made available chooses the place and / or the vehicle, the server addressing this third party user the confirmation of the place and the vehicle and addressing this third party user and the box associated with the place and the vehicle an authenticator allowing the third-party user to authenticate with the appliance to access the object and a time slot during which this authenticator can be used,

a user wishing to transport a passenger by carpool can indicate a route that he will make, including with a vehicle that he will use for car-sharing, a user wishing to be transported by carpool can indicate a route that he wishes to carry out,

a user wishing to make available an electric vehicle battery charging terminal may indicate the location of this terminal and its hours of availability and / or

a user wishing to reserve an electric charging terminal can indicate the desired location of this terminal.

The server 12 makes proposals for linking the offers and the requests declared on the site and asks the users to validate or refuse the proposed links. It should be noted that the hosted site preferentially authorizes carpooling with a car-sharing vehicle. The cost shared when the carpooler rides in a car-sharing car is no longer just a kilometric charge but also includes the amount spent on renting the car-sharing vehicle. This duplicity of cost-sharing modes completes the car-sharing interconnection.

As regards the functions related to carsharing, the housing 1 1 comprises an identification device or reader 21 of an object present in the interior volume 13 of the housing 1 1. When an object provided with an identifier, for example an electronic tag or a printed code, is positioned in the internal volume 13, the identification reader 21 reads this object identifier and supplies this identifier to a controller 19 of the device The controller 19 is adapted to transmit a lock command to the lock device 17 after the object identification reader 21 has provided an object identifier which corresponds to the identifier received by the housing 11. from the server 12 for the current time. The controller 19 is, furthermore, adapted to trigger an alarm and to inhibit the locking of the door when the object identification reader 21 provides an object identifier which does not correspond to the object identifier received by the box 1 1 from the server 12 for the current time.

The box 1 1 further comprises means 14 for accessing at least one user's authentication credentials and a time slot for using this authenticator. The access means 14 may be, preferentially:

a memory internal to the box 1 1, memory which keeps user credentials and time slots of use from the server 12, for the controller 19 to verify that a user credential received from a user is the authorized one for the current time slot, access to the server 12, to which the controller 19 addresses each user credential received from a user, the server 12 then performing the verification that said authenticator is the authorized one for the current time slot or a deterministic generator of user credentials , an identical generator being implemented by the server 12, which addresses this authenticator to the user for authentication. Preferably, this deterministic generator uses a current time page and a unique box identifier to generate the user credentials, the controller 19 verifying that a user credential received from a user is the authorized authenticator for the user. current time slot.

The box 1 1 also comprises means 20 of authentication of a user, connected to the controller 19, to determine if the user corresponds to the authenticator stored by the storage means 14. The authentication means 20 may be a code lock ("digicode", registered trademark), or, as in FIG. 1, an electronic tag or code reader displayed on a communicating portable terminal screen 16 or communicated at a short distance by such a terminal 16. user is authenticated by what he knows, that is to say a code, or by what he owns, that is to say a code support (an electronic tag or a communicating portable terminal having In a variant (not shown), the authentication of the user is done by a biometric measurement, for example a fingerprint, hand shape, voice or face recognition.

The authentication means 20 are adapted to compare the authenticator obtained from the user with the authenticator accessed by the access means 14.

The controller 19 is adapted for, when the door 15 is closed and the object identification device 21 indicates that the interior volume 13 of the housing 1 1 does not contain any identified object, do not transmit an unlock command to the locking device 17 only after authentication of the user by the authentication means 20.

Thus, contrary to what was known in the prior art, the housing 1 1 made available to different users can be locked only if it is empty or contains a predetermined object. It returns to its locked state, preferably without transmitting a message to the user and the administrator. When the housing 1 1 is empty, for a user to unlock the door 15 of the housing 1 1, places an object there and triggers the locking of the door 15 of the housing 1 1, an authenticator of the user and an identifier of the object are associated with a first time slot and, only during this first time slot and cumulatively, the user is authenticated and the object is identified. In case the user is authenticated but the object is not identified, a user-perceptible alert signal is triggered at the housing 1 1. After a predetermined time, the housing 1 1 is locked again even if the object concerned is not detected. The user and the administrator will then be notified of this "abnormal" action and the user must authenticate again to rest the object to be identified.

The device is locked before authentication of the user who is about to deposit the keys. The user must authenticate to unlock the device and deposit the keys. If after a predetermined time, the keys are not identified in the housing 1 1, then the user is notified of the absence of the keys and is assigned an additional predetermined time to return the keys in a configuration that allows to detect their presence in the housing 1 1. In the absence of identification of the keys, the housing 1 1 locks after this additional time and the user and the administrator are notified of the absence of the object to be identified in the housing 1 1.

In addition, another authenticator is associated with a second time slot after the first time slot, the door 15 of the housing 1 1 not being unlocked until the authentication, through this other authenticator during this time. second time slot. In addition, the housing 1 1 verifies, after unlocking followed by a predetermined duration, for example ten seconds, the lack of identification of the object. In the case where the user is authenticated but the identified object remains in the housing beyond this predetermined time, a warning signal perceptible by the user is triggered at the housing 1 1.

Each successful identification, successful authentication and alert is transmitted to the server 12, where it is time stamped and stored, for traceability. Preferably, the alert is transmitted to a user of the housing 1 1 by light and / or sound means 23 and / or through the communicating mobile terminal 16.

Preferably, each authenticator is single-use and / or limited-use in time, through the time slot to which the authenticator is associated.

In embodiments, the user authentication means 20 are means for authenticating the object that the user must deposit in the user. housing 1 1 during the current time slot, while the object is outside the housing 1 1, reading and recognition of the identifier carried by the object, this identifier being identical to the object identifier received by the housing 1 1 from the server 12, for the current time slot. In these embodiments, where the identification of the object is carried out outside the housing 1 1, the housing uses, preferably, an identifier reader independent of the object identification device 21 located at the interior of the interior volume 13 of the housing 1 1. Thus, depending on the position of the object, two different identifier readers are used and the reading of identifier by an identifier reader makes it possible to know the position of the object, inside or outside the casing 1 1.

It is noted that the user authentication is thus performed by recognition of the user or the presence of the object bearing the received identifier.

As a variant, the authentication and / or identification functions are deported in the server 12, the box 11 then serving as an authenticator reader and / or a peripheral identifier for the server 12, which transmits to the box 1 1 Locking and unlocking instructions and issuing warning signals.

Alternatively, a subscriber to the service implemented by the web site hosted by the server 12 can leave his car key in self-service in any empty vault that does not wait for an object, the server 12 recognizing this key and assigning it to any applicant, who may request it later.

In this case, the secure box has three statuses:

- empty without waiting for a person (for self-service deposit),

- empty but "reserved" for an expected key deposit and

- containing a key.

Preferably, the status of the housing 1 1 is visible outside the housing 1 1, for example by means of diodes of different colors.

With regard to the carpool functions, the device comprises, for at least one vehicle, a means of determining whether the journey is made by carpool. This determination is made either automatically, according to the geolocation of users having previously agreed to this ride in carpooling, or manually by one of these users, with his mobile phone or by pressing a button on the system 24 of geolocation.

The transmission system 25 of this vehicle:

transmits to the server 12 the geographical position of the vehicle at a first frequency if the journey is made without carpooling and - Transmits to the server 12 the geographical position of the vehicle at a second frequency higher than the first frequency, if the trip is made by carpooling.

The server 12 assigns to each user an amount to be paid, according to a route taken and the mode of transport with or without carpooling. In the case of a ride without carpooling, the driver of a car-sharing vehicle is allocated the full cost of the car-sharing. In the case of a carpool trip, this cost is shared between the driver and the passengers.

In the particular embodiment of the method that is the subject of the invention illustrated in FIG. 2, each user who can offer his car-sharing vehicle receives an identifier to be affixed to the objects to be transmitted to the other drivers of his vehicle (key and administrative documents).

Different types of support for this identifier, hardware label for certain visible codes, electronic tag for codes read by radio frequencies. Depending on the type of medium, the sender of the identifier is the server 12, the user writing or printing the identifier, or a manufacturing provider receiving from the server 12 a message with the identifier. Depending on the type of media, the user receives it by mail, e-mail, short message (SMS), e-mail, transmission to an application installed on a communicating mobile terminal or by voice message.

During a step 30, a first user declares the availability of his vehicle, on the site offering carsharing and carpooling services. This statement includes an indication of the location and the time slot of his vehicle.

During a step 31, the site transmits to the first user an authenticator, according to one of the modes of transmission of identifiers detailed above, allowing him to deposit the keys of his vehicle and the related administrative documents in a secure case and a time slot to do it.

During a step 32, a second user performs, on the site, a reservation of the vehicle made available by the first user, during all or part of the time slot proposed by the first user.

During a step 33, the site transmits to the second user, according to one of the modes of transmission of identifiers detailed above:

- the coordinates of the secure housing from which it can remove the objects deposited by the first user and possibly a description of the reserved vehicle; The coordinates can be either an address (street number, etc.), or an electronic link to a geolocalisation interpretable by a GPS software or any mobile application related to the system object of the invention,

an authenticator, according to one of the modes of transmission of identifiers detailed above, allowing him to remove the keys of the vehicle and the related administrative documents in a secure box and

- a time slot to do it.

It is assumed, in the following, that the second user wants to offer a carpool during the journey he will make with the car-sharing vehicle. Of course, the first user can also do this without going through steps 30 to 33. He is then considered as the second user.

During a step 34, the second user proposes the carpool ride on the site. It indicates its intended departure time, the starting point and the point of arrival.

During a step 35, at least one third user accepts the carpool offer.

During a step 36, the site offers the second and third users a time and a meeting place; a step (not shown) of click validation or modification that can be performed by the users, if any.

During a step 37, the second user removes the objects linked to the car-sharing vehicle from the secure box where the first user has arranged them. The steps of depositing and removing the objects are described with reference to FIG.

Note that, alternatively, step 37 is before or simultaneously to one of steps 34, 35 or 36 because it is independent of these steps.

During a step 38, the geolocation means and the associated transmitter provide the geolocation of the vehicle to the server of the site and, through it, to the communicating mobile terminals of each third user, at a low frequency, for example every minutes.

During a step 39, the server determines whether the current time is close to the appointment time, for example less than five minutes, or whether the vehicle is at a journey time from the meeting point. you lower than this duration, or not. If so, during a step 40, the geolocation means and the associated transmitter provide the geolocation of the vehicle to the server of the site and, through it, to the communicating mobile terminals of each third user, at a higher frequency than during step 38, for example every three seconds.

At the end of each portion of the journey for which the number of people in the vehicle is uniform, during a step 41, the server assigns each user an amount, which depends on the mileage traveled and the number of passengers, including the driver, as well as the mode of transport, car sharing and / or carpooling.

Thus, the invention allows a driver in a car-sharing situation (thus driving the vehicle of a third-party owner) to also declare himself a carpooling driver in real time and thus offer his services to users of the site.

In the particular embodiment of the method that is the subject of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 3, the server sends to the box the user's credentials and the identifiers of the objects. As indicated above, alternatively, authentication and / or identification are performed by the server and / or each authenticator is deterministically calculated by the box.

In this embodiment, during a step 50, via an internet server hosting a web site (web), a first user (also called, in the description "user to make the deposit of 'an object') wishing to put his vehicle at the disposal of a third party selects a place, for example a parking space, where he will leave his vehicle available at a time of his choice. During a step 51, the server sends the user to deposit an object an authenticator to use when accessing the box. During the same step 51, the server addresses the box associated with the selected location:

an authenticator of the user to deposit the object,

an identifier of an object, keys and / or administrative documents of the vehicle, and

a time slot for depositing the object during which this object must be deposited in this box.

During a step 52, a second user (also called, in the description, "user to withdraw the object") wishing to use a vehicle thus made available, preferably on the same site of the canvas, the place and /where the vehicle. During a step 53, the server sends this user the confirmation of the place and the reserved vehicle and sends this user and the box associated with the place and the vehicle:

an authenticator allowing the third-party user to authenticate with the box to access the object and

a time-out period for the object, which is later than the time slot for depositing the object, during which this authenticator can be used.

During a step 54, the housing being empty and the housing door being locked, a user candidate to deposit an object is presented in front of the housing and provides a user credential.

During a step 55, the controller of the box verifies that the authenticator of the candidate user to access the internal volume of the box corresponds to the user authentication agent to deposit an object received from the server, for the current time slot. If not, the housing door remains locked.

If so, during a step 56, the controller unlocks the door of the housing and reads the identifier of the deposited object in its interior volume. If, after a predetermined duration, for example ten seconds, no object identifier is read or if a read object identifier does not correspond to the object identifier received from the server for the current time slot , the controller triggers a user-perceivable alert at the housing, during a step 57.

If the only object identifier read corresponds to the object identifier received from the server, during a step 58, the controller locks the door of the housing.

Thus, contrary to what was known in the prior art, the box made available to different users can be locked only if it is empty or contains a predetermined object. When the box is empty, for a user to unlock the door of the box, place an object and trigger the locking of the door of the box, only during the time slot assigned to this object deposit and cumulatively, the user is authenticated and the object is identified. In the event that the user is authenticated but the object is not identified, a user-perceptible warning signal is triggered at the box.

In embodiments, the second user, who will look for the keys deposited in the housing 11 receives a notification as soon as the first user has deposited the keys in this housing 1 January. Thus, at least one housing 11 is configured to signal to at least one server 12 that an object whose identifier has been transmitted to the housing has been identified in the housing. And at least one server is configured to signal, in response to this information, the provision of said object in said housing to a user who has reserved a vehicle associated with said object.

These embodiments have several advantages:

the second user can pick up the keys earlier than expected, as soon as these keys are available in the housing 1 1,

the second user is notified if the first user has not respected his commitment to deposit the keys before the moment when the second user must pick them up, which avoids unnecessary displacement and allows him to request another vehicle to the plate -form or even switch to a carpooling solution;

optionally, the platform takes the initiative to offer the second user another available vehicle near the housing 1 1 where keys were expected;

the first user, who has not respected his / her commitment, can be notified and possibly sanctioned (financially or in terms of reliability rating).

During a step 59, the housing containing an object and the door of the housing being locked, a user candidate to remove the object is in front of the housing and provides a user credential.

During a step 60, the controller of the box verifies that the authenticator of the candidate user to access the internal volume of the box corresponds to the user credential to deposit an object received from the server, for the current time slot. If not, the housing door remains locked.

If so, during a step 61, the controller unlocks the door of the housing and reads the identifier of the deposited object in its interior volume. If, after a predetermined duration, for example ten seconds, an object identifier is read, identical to or different from the identifier of the object present in the housing during step 59, the controller triggers an alert perceptible by the user at the housing, during a step 62.

The controller locks access to the interior volume of the housing either when no object identifier is read, or when an object identifier is read for a duration predetermined, for example one minute, after the triggering of the alert, during a step 63.

Thus, the door of the housing is not unlocked until the authentication of the user to remove the object. In addition, the housing checks, after unlocking followed by a predetermined duration, for example ten seconds, the lack of identification of the object. In the case where the user is authenticated but the identified object remains in the housing beyond this predetermined time, a warning signal perceptible by the user is triggered at the housing.

Each successful identification, successful authentication and alert is transmitted to the server, where it is timestamped and stored, for traceability. Preferably, the alert is transmitted to a user of the box by light and / or sound means and / or through the communicating mobile terminal.

In variants, the authentication means of the user to deposit the object are authentication means of the object that the user must deposit in the housing during the current time slot. This authentication is therefore performed while the object is outside the box, by reading and recognition of the identifier carried by the object, and verification that this identifier is identical to the object identifier received by the box from the server, for the current time slot. In these variants:

during step 54, the housing being empty and the door of the housing being locked, a user candidate to deposit an object is presented in front of the housing and the object it carries provides a candidate object identifier and

during a step 55, the controller of the box verifies that the identifier of the candidate object corresponds to the object identifier to be deposited received from the server, for the current time slot. If not, the housing door remains locked.

User authentication is thus performed by recognizing the user or by the presence of the object bearing the identifier received near the housing.

The restitution of the object or its transmission to a third user is done in the same way, by performing steps 50 to 63, the roles of the users being reversed. As can be understood from reading the foregoing description, the present invention provides an integrated SaaS management infrastructure and software (acronym for "software as a service" for software as a service), integrating in a unique way and ergonomic rights to carsharing, carpooling and charge management of electrical terminals.

Thus, the invention integrates, in a unified ergonomic manner, all the types of access and usage rights in a mobility situation that are necessary for the operation of these services, in particular to enable users to interact with each other and with the user. platform, and this in a completely flexible and real-time, and on both modes, car sharing and car pooling, at the same time. These rights concern in particular documents, keys, vehicles, charging energy, GPS trackers, etc.

Car-sharing vehicles are tracked by geolocation, every minute or so. The operator of the platform knows how to identify the path. In the case of a dynamic carpool, to know exactly the position of the vehicle (via an end user interface) the tracking is done at a frequency of not more than three seconds. This allows the driver (who is not necessarily the owner of the vehicle) to declare himself "carpooling driver": he gives his destination, the system then follows his path and changes the parameters of the tracking tool geolocation of vehicle (in time and destination). The linked geolocation transmitter transmits at a higher frequency, which allows the platform to interpolate the second position and make the vehicle visible on all end customer interfaces, with price and destination. The requesting carpool user can then position themselves and validate the proposal.
