For example, in CO₂The recovery device 10 recovers CO to a certain degree or more₂The user of the vehicle 1A, 1B, 1C goes to the CO₂Any one of the collection stations 2A, 2B. Then, CO recovered in the vehicles 1A, 1B, 1C₂Is collected into CO₂Collection stations 2A, 2B. Together with the collection, CO₂Identification information of the user of the recovery device 10 and the slave CO₂CO collected by the recovery unit 10₂Information on the collection amount and the collection start time is stored in the CO in association with each other₂A storage section 211 of the control device 21 of the collection stations 2A, 2B.

In the absence of CO reception₂When the completion notification is issued (step S104: NO), it is determined whether or not the timer value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (step S105).

In step S105, when the timer value is smaller than the predetermined value (step S105: NO), the process returns to step S104. When the timer value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value (step S105: YES), the control unit 212 sends the CO signal via the communication unit 210₂The administrator of the collection station 2A or the like notifies an error notification (step S106), and the process proceeds to step S108.

Fig. 8 (a) is a control flowchart executed by the transport vehicle, and fig. 8 (b) is a control flowchart executed by the processing plant. In fig. 8 (b), a case of using the fuel conversion process will be described, but the same control is performed for the use of photosynthesis.

First, fig. 8 (a) will be explained. In step S401, CO₂The collection control unit 301 controls the collection of the CO based on the passage of CO₂Connection information detected by the connection sensor of the collection unit 300 for CO₂Whether or not the collecting part 300 is connected to the CO of the processing plant 4₂The collection unit 410 performs the determination. In the absence of CO connection₂In the case of the collection unit 410 (no in step S401), the control flow ends. Is connected to CO₂In the case of the trap 410 (YES in step S401), CO₂The trap 300 starts CO₂The discharge control (step S402) proceeds to step S403.

In step S403, CO₂The collection control unit 301 controls the collection of the CO based on the passage of CO₂Determining CO from information on the remaining amount detected by the storage amount sensor of the tank 302₂Whether the payout is complete. If not (step S403: No), step S403 is repeated until completion. When the discharge is completed (step S403: yes), the control unit 312 causes the communication unit 420 to transmit the discharge completion notification and the information of the database C3110 (the user identification information and the CO associated therewith) to the process plant 4₂The collection amount and the collection start time) (step S404), and the control flow ends.

Next, fig. 8 (b) will be explained. In step S501, the control unit 423 determines whether or not the discharge completion notification and the information of the database C3110 have been received from the transportation vehicle 3 every time a predetermined time elapses. If not (no in step S501), the process proceeds to step S503. When the completion notification and the information are received (yes in step S501), the processing unit 422 updates the information of the database D4210 using the received information (step S502), and the process proceeds to step S503.

In step S503, the control unit 423 detects CO based on the storage amount sensor₂CO in tank 412₂The amount of change of (A), CO is judged₂CO of tank 412₂Whether or not it is already in CO₂The processing device 40 is used for fuel conversion. If not used (step S503: NO), the control flow ends. When used (YES in step S503), the processing unit 422 calculates the fueled CO used for fueling₂The amount (usage amount) V (step S504) shifts to step S505.

In step S505, the processing unit 422 executes the following information processing to end the control flow: the identification information of the user and the CO received from the transportation vehicle 3 and stored in the information of the database D4210₂Information on the amount collected, with CO₂The usage (fueling) of (b) and the usage amount of the fuel are stored in the database E4211 in association with each other.

Fig. 9 is a control flowchart of information processing executed by the processing plant 4 according to embodiment 1.

In step S601, the processing unit 422 processes the signals for CO₂The information in the database D4210 is sorted (sort) in the order of the collection start time from morning to evening, and the process proceeds to step S602.

In step S602, the processing unit 422 extracts CO from the database D4210₂Collecting identification information of user with earliest start time and CO related to the user₂The collection amount S shifts to step S603.

In the step ofIn S603, the processing unit 422 determines whether or not the previous processing remaining amount V' old (the usage amount not associated with the collection amount) is stored in the storage unit 421. If V' old is not stored (NO in step S603), the process proceeds to step S605. When V' old is stored (YES in step S603), the processing unit 422 performs the conversion of the fueled CO calculated in step S504₂The previous processing remaining amount V ' old is corrected in addition to the previous processing remaining amount V ' old (step S604), and the process proceeds to step S605 after deleting the information of the previous processing remaining amount V ' old from the storage unit 421.

In step S605, the processing unit 422 determines that: CO used for fueling calculated by the processing unit 422₂The usage amount V or CO corrected in step S604₂The usage amount V and the CO of the user extracted in step S602₂Whether or not the difference V' (═ V-S) of the collection amount S is 0 or more. In the case where V' is less than 0, i.e. in CO₂Collection S to CO₂When the usage amount V is large (no in step S605), the process proceeds to step S609. When V' is 0 or more, that is, in CO₂Collection S to CO₂When the usage amount V is small (yes in step S605), the processing unit 422 performs: and CO determined as the user₂The collection amount S is used in the process corresponding to this case. That is, the user identification information and CO are performed₂The collected amount S and the usage amount V used for fueling are correlated and stored in the database E4211 (step S606). Then, the control process proceeds to step S607.

In step S607, the information on the user whose association has been completed, which is stored in the database D4210, is deleted. Then, the control process proceeds to step S608.

In step S608, the processing unit 422 stores the difference V 'as V' old in the storage unit 421, and returns to step S602.

In step S609, the processing unit 422 performs: and judged as CO₂Collecting fueled CO in an amount S₂The amount of the amount V has been treated correspondingly to the case where the fuel is already made. That is, the user identification information and CO are recorded₂Collection amount S and C used for fuelingO₂The usage V is associated and stored in the database E4211, and the process proceeds to step S610.

In step S610, the CO of the user is stored in the database D4210₂The collection amount S is changed to the absolute value of the difference V' (CO not used in the fueling process)₂Collection amount), the database D4210 is updated, and the process proceeds to step S611.

In step S611, the processing unit 422 sets the amount of the difference V' old to 0, stores the same in the storage unit 421, and ends the control flow.

From CO, as described above₂CO in a collection device₂The CO is sequentially collected from the user with early start time₂And collecting information processing of which the amount is associated with the amount of use.

In the control flowchart of fig. 9, the description will be specifically made using fig. 3.

As in the upper right table of FIG. 3, the processing unit 422 processes the data for each CO₂The information in the database D4210 is sorted in the order of the collection start time from morning to evening (step S601).

Then, CO is extracted₂Collecting identification information and CO of user A with earliest start time₂The collection amount (20) (step S602).

Next, in step S603, the control unit 423 determines that the previous processing remaining amount V' old is not stored (it is assumed here that it is not stored).

Next, the processor 422 calculates CO₂The amount (30) used is related to the CO of the user A₂The difference V '(30-20) of the collection amount (20) is determined that V' is 0 or more (step S605), and the identification information of the user a and CO are used₂The amount of the catalyst used (20) and CO₂The collection amount (20) and the information on the use of the fuel are stored in the database E4211 in association with each other (step S606).

Next, as in the table in the middle right of fig. 3, the processing unit 422 deletes the information of the user a from the database D4210 (step S607).

Next, the processing unit 422 stores the difference V '(10) calculated in step S605 in the storage unit 421 as V' old (step S608).

Next, the control process returns to step S602, and the processing unit 422 extracts the identification information and CO of the user C whose collection start time is earlier than the user a₂The amount collected (15).

Next, since the previous processing residual amount V' old is (10) in step S603 and is stored in step S608, the processing unit 422 adds this to CO₂And correcting the usage amount V (step S604). Here, it is assumed to be newly fueled CO₂The amount of CO used is 0, corrected₂The usage amount V is the previous processing residual amount V' old (10).

Next, the processing unit 422 calculates the corrected CO₂The amount (10) used is related to the CO of the user C₂When the difference V '(10-15 ═ 5) of the collection amount (15) is determined to be V' smaller than 0 (step S605), the identification information of the user C and CO are used₂The amount of (10) and CO₂The collection amount (15) and the information on the use of the fuel are stored in the database E4211 in association with each other (step S609).

Next, the processing unit 422 calculates the absolute value (5) of the difference V' calculated in step S605 (CO of the user C)₂The amount of collected amount that is not used for fueling) as CO of the user C₂The information stored in the database D4210 is updated (step S610).

Next, the processing unit 422 sets the processing remaining amount V' old to 0 and stores it in the storage unit 421 (step S611), and the control flow ends.

As described above, according to CO₂The extraction processing and the association processing are repeatedly executed in the order of the collection start time from morning to evening.

In step S706, the control unit 423 resets the timer value, and ends the control flow.

In step S707, the control portion 423 determines whether or not the timer value is greater than a predetermined value. If the value is equal to or less than the predetermined value (no in step S707), the process proceeds to step S704. If the value is larger than the predetermined value (step S707: YES), the process returns to step S702.

If no information is received (no in step S801), the control flow ends. If the information is received (step S801: yes), the process proceeds to step S802.

In step S802, the processing unit 502 determines: whether the received information is already stored information about the user whose information has been registered in the database F5010. In the case of registered and stored information, the CO collected from the user is subjected to the processing based on the received information₂Information on the use (fueling) of and the CO₂The information of the usage amount is updated (step S803), and the process proceeds to step S805. If the information is not already stored, the received information is newly added to the database F5010 (step S804), and the process proceeds to step S805.

In step S805, the processing unit 502 determines whether or not the process of updating or adding all the received information has ended. If the process is not ended (no in step S805), the process returns to step S802. When the process is completed (yes in step S805), the process proceeds to step S806.

In step S901, the control unit 110 causes the communication unit 120 to transmit the CO to the information management center 5 every time a predetermined time elapses₂Amount of use of, CO₂The process proceeds to step S902 in response to an update request using the information related to the usage.

In step S902, the control unit 110 starts counting the timer value from the time when the transmission was performed in step S901, and the process proceeds to step S903.

In step S903, the control unit 110 determines whether or not update information is received via the communication unit 120. If the update information is not received (no in step S903), the control unit 110 determines whether or not the timer value is larger than a predetermined value (step S905). When the timer value is equal to or less than the predetermined value (step S905: NO), the process returns to step S903, and when the timer value is greater than the predetermined value (step S905: YES), the process returns to step S901.

When the update information is received in step S903 (yes in step S903), the control unit 110 updates the information of the database a1110 based on the received information (step S904), and subsequently, the control unit 110 resets the timer value (step S906), and the process proceeds to step S907.

In step S907, the control unit 110 causes the information communication terminal 12 to display a screen based on the user' S request, and ends the control flow. A specific control flow of the screen display will be described with reference to fig. 12.

Next, a control flowchart executed by the information management center 5 in fig. 11 (b) will be described.

In step S911, the control unit 503 determines whether or not an update request is received from the vehicle 1A via the communication unit 500. If the update request is not received (no in step S911), the control flow ends. When the update request is received (yes in step S911), the control unit 503 causes the communication unit 500 to transmit the information of the database F5010 to the vehicle 1A (step S912), and ends the control flow.

Fig. 12 is a control flowchart executed by the information communication terminal according to embodiment 1.

In step S908, the terminal control unit 123 determines that: whether or not to be influenced by CO via input 122₂The user of the recycling apparatus 10 inputs CO₂Amount of use, CO₂Display request of the information related to the usage purpose. If the display request is not input (no in step S908), the control flow ends. When the display request is input (step S908: YES), the terminal control unit 123 causes the output unit 121 to display the CO stored in the storage unit 111₂Amount of use, CO₂The user, and the like (step S909), and the control flow is ended.

By the above-described, CO with respect to the working vehicles 1A, 1B, 1C₂CO is recovered and used by the recovery device 10₂CO collected by the collecting stations 2A, 2B₂In vehicles 1A, 1B, 1C, CO₂The pair of CO between the collection stations 2A, 2B, the transport vehicle 3, the processing plant 4 and the information management center 5₂Identification information of the user of the recovery apparatus 10, and CO₂The amount of recovery, the use thereof, and information on the amount of use are managed. Further, CO₂The user of the recycling apparatus 10 can indicate the collected CO₂Can be confirmed, and therefore, the use of CO can be improved₂The awareness of recovery, the awareness of social contribution, and the motivation of the process can promote CO₂And (4) recovering. In addition, by starting from CO₂CO of the collecting device 20₂The users with early collection start time start to process CO in sequence₂Processing information related to collection amount and usage amount, and collecting CO at early point₂Is used as early as possible, and therefore, will improve with respect to CO₂The consciousness and the power of early recovery. Further, by being able to always update and add information to a database or the like, a user can always know the CO from the latest information₂The use purpose, the amount used, and the like. In addition, a new user can easily join the information management system 1000 and can know the usage information. In addition, new usage can be easily added to the information management system 1000.

In addition, in the above embodiment 1, CO is provided₂The recovery apparatus 10 is a vehicle 1A, 1B, 1C, but CO₂The recovery apparatus 10 may be provided for discharging CO₂Other objects of (2). For example, CO₂The recovery device 10 may be installed in a house such as a separate house or an apartment, a public facility, a factory, or other buildings.

In embodiment 1, the user means, for example, that CO is provided₂When the vehicle 1A is a vehicle used for services such as a rental car and a shared car, the owner of the vehicle 1A of the recovery device 10 may be the user of the service or the service provider. In the case where the user is a service user, the usage information may be delivered (handed over) when a plurality of different vehicles are used. When the user is a service provider, the usage information may be delivered to and received from the vehicle. In addition, the system is provided with CO in the rented buildings₂In the case of the recycling apparatus 10, the user may be a holder or a leaseholder.

In embodiment 1, the treatment plant 4 includes CO₂For example, the present invention may be applied to a plurality of applications such as use in fuel production and use in photosynthesis of plants, but each processing plant may have a single use application such as a dedicated fuel production plant. Use of CO from a user in different treatment plants (facilities)₂CO collected by the recovery unit 10₂In the case of (3), the user identification information and the usage information are transmitted from each processing factory to the information management center 5 and collectively managed. In addition, CO₂The use application in the facility is not limited to fuel production and photosynthesis, and includes use in the generation of carbonic acid gas, for example.

In addition, in embodiment 1 described above, the transportation vehicle 3 is used to transport CO₂The collection stations 2A, 2B deliver CO to the treatment plant 4₂However, the transportation may be performed by other transportation facilities such as ships and railways, or may be performed by pipelines. In case of using a pipeline, e.g. from the CO via the communication network 6₂The collection stations 2A, 2B send information directly to the process plant 4.

In addition, in the above embodiment 1, CO is reacted₂After determining whether or not the fuel is actually used for refueling, the amount of refueling CO is calculated₂V, carrying out the reaction of CO₂Information processing in which the collection amount is correlated with the usage amount, but a virtual fuel conversion amount CO may be set before the collection amount is used₂And V, performing associated information processing.

In embodiment 1, the related information is sorted in the database D4210 in the order of the collection start time from the morning to the evening, but the information with the earliest collection start time among the related information may be extracted without sorting.
