Description

The present invention relates to a simple estimation device, a simple estimation system, a control method of the simple estimation system, a program, and a recording medium.

For example, if the body of a car is scratched or dented, the owner will bring it to the car repair shop and prepare a quotation according to the length of the scratch and the size of the dent, and the owner of the car will pay the repair cost after the repair. It has become like.
In recent years, with the improvement of technology, the repair cost of an image obtained by remotely controlling an automobile from an automobile repair shop has been assessed for the size of scratches and dents (for example, patent documents). 1).

The invention described in Patent Document 1 does not require the client and the contractor to directly face each other when inspecting or purchasing an automobile or repairing scratches, etc., and the client bother to bring the automobile to a factory or the like, or the contractor. Can decide each fee and purchase price to a convincing amount in advance without going to the client's house etc., and pay each fee in advance and proceed with each business based on Meiro accounting. Is the purpose.

In the invention described in Patent Document 1, the management center remotely controls a remote camera provided in the assessment space to take a picture of the automobile entered in the assessment space, and assesses the automobile inspection fee, purchase price, and repair fee. , Estimate each fee, and when each fee is paid, and when there is an agreement on the purchase price, the contract for each business is concluded.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-221311

However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 requires a large-scale device such as four remote cameras, a guide rail, a management center, and a monitor screen, and requires initial cost, running cost, and maintenance cost. Moreover, since the pin is in contact with the vehicle for measuring the dent, it takes time to prepare the quotation. Furthermore, scratches may be difficult to see depending on the type of lighting and how the light hits, and it takes time to judge.

By the way, in recent years, since the development of autobrake and automatic driving has been actively carried out, the number of major accidents such as head-on collision, side collision and rear-end collision has decreased. On the other hand, although self-driving vehicles are good at self-driving on trunk roads, small accidents such as rubbing walls and utility poles or coming into contact with oncoming vehicles are likely to occur in narrow alleys. This is because the accuracy of GPS (Global Positioning System) has an error of several centimeters, so it may be unavoidable when turning a curve or avoiding oncoming vehicles.
Repair shops that require large-scale equipment are suitable for repairing automobiles in the event of a major accident, while small-scale repair shops are suitable for repairing minor accidents.

In addition, with the declining birthrate and aging population, labor shortages have become a serious problem at repair shops. In order to deal with the labor shortage, a new system to expand the acceptance of foreign workers started on April 1, 2019. This is a major policy shift that allows de facto unskilled workers to have a status of residence for work purposes, which was previously limited to "highly specialized personnel." For this reason, there is a demand for more efficient repair and maintenance of automobiles and simplification of training.

In addition, for example, it is difficult to judge a car scratch depending on the viewing angle and the degree of light hitting it, and it is judged by a skilled worker, and it takes time to prepare and repair a quotation because it is judged by a limited number of people. ..

Furthermore, the toning of the paint used after repairing scratches and gouges also required skill. The paint usually contains a plurality of paints, and the color mixing ratio differs depending on the vehicle model. For this reason, the paint for the part requiring repair is prepared by a skilled worker and painted with the obtained paint. Further, since it takes about 5 to 6 hours to dry the paint in an environment where dust does not adhere to the painted surface, the client waits for repairs or rents a substitute vehicle to the client. When renting a substitute car to a client, it is necessary to grasp the availability and return status of the substitute car and manage the substitute car, which is reflected in the cost.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is a simple estimate for repairing scratches, dents, and gouges, which can estimate a low-priced repair cost in a short time with a simple configuration, or can prepare an estimate in a short time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device, a simple estimation system, a control method of the simple estimation system, a program, and a recording medium. Another object of the present invention is a simple estimater, a simple estimate system, a control method, a program, and a simple estimate system that can grasp the repair time and the reservation status of repairs without the need for special training for determining scratches and dents. The purpose is to provide a recording medium.

It is characterized by having information on the repair costs made.

According to the first aspect, the repair cost can be instantly grasped visually by simply placing the vehicle in the vicinity of the repair-required part without using electricity or machinery. As a result, the worker can immediately present the repair cost to the client, and the client can immediately know the repair cost, which is a material for deciding whether or not to use the vehicle insurance. In addition, it is possible to deal with relatively low-priced repairs such as partial repairs of minor scratches, dents, and gouges that can be applied to the simple estimator of the present application. For example, if a small scratch occurs on the door, if you bring it to the dealer, the entire door may be replaced, but by repairing the area around the small scratch and performing simple painting, it is necessary for the worker to have advanced skills and techniques. Not cheap repairs can be provided to clients. In the case of an ultra-luxury car that costs 10 million yen per car, it is preferable to have the dealer repair it, and to repair small scratches on a popular car by using the simple estimation technology of the present application.

<Concept>
FIG. 1 is an example of a conceptual diagram of a simple estimation system according to the present invention.
Long simple estimator 10-1 to 10-6, frame type simple estimator 10- around vehicle 1 where small scratches such as scratches and dents occurred, not major accidents such as head-on collision, side collision and rear-end collision. 7. The tablet type simple estimator 10-8 and the smart phone 10-9 are described.

The tablet-type simple estimator 10-8, the smartphone 10-9, and the store-side terminal 401 can be connected to the management server 301 on the network.

The frame-type simple estimator 10-7 is an estimate from the built-in transmitter 202 for the estimate of the repair cost associated with the size of damage and the type of repair of the part requiring repair of the vehicle 1 by the worker of the repair shop. When the signal of the request for printing the document is transmitted to the receiving unit 501, the printer 601 can print the quotation.

The tablet-type simple estimator 10-8 estimates the repair cost from the image obtained by imaging the repaired part of the vehicle 1 by the worker of the repair shop, and when the data is transmitted to the store terminal 401, the printer 601 estimates. The book can be printed.

When the application software for simple estimation is installed in advance from the management server 301, the smart phone 10-9 captures the part requiring repair of the vehicle 1 with the built-in camera with the smart phone 10-9 and sends it to the management server 301. It is possible to estimate repair costs, obtain repair time, and reserve repair shops and scheduled repair dates.

The long simple estimator 10-1 to 10-6 is used by an operator at a repair shop to estimate the repair cost according to the type of damage to the part requiring repair of the vehicle 1. In this case, the quotation will be prepared separately by the worker, etc., but the client can grasp the immediate repair cost.

<First Embodiment>
