Abstract:
A bicycle rental system includes a plurality of rental bicycles, each of which has a locking apparatus, a controlling apparatus, and a parking locker. The locking apparatus is operated to lock the rental bicycle, and the parking locker is able to engage and lock a dock locker of the dock. The controlling apparatus transmits signals to a control system, and receives signals from the control system through a network. The bicycle rental system may return the rental bicycle with or without the docks, and may rent the rental bicycle by a mobile device or a tag device.

Claim (Index 9):
A bicycle rental system, comprising:\n a fixed dock; a rental bicycle including a locking apparatus, a bicycle locking device, and a controlling apparatus, wherein the controlling apparatus includes a processor, to which a display, a code generating module, a reader module, a transceiver module, and a positioning module are electrically connected; a tag device; and a control system receiving signals from the transceiver module of the rental bicycle and transmitting signals to the transceiver module of the rental bicycle; wherein when a user rents the rental bicycle, the user operates the tag device to be detected by the reader module of the controlling apparatus of the rental bicycle to obtain a user data, and then the transceiver module is controlled by the processor to transmit the user data and a position data, which is obtained by the positioning module, to the control system whereby the user is able to ride the rental bicycle; wherein the rental bicycle is returned through a return process without dock or a return process with dock; wherein in the return process without dock, a user engages the bicycle locking device with the locking apparatus to lock the rental bicycle, and then the transceiver module of the rental bicycle is controlled by the processor to transmit a return signal and a position data to the control system to complete the return process without dock; wherein in the return process with dock, a user locks the rental bicycle to the dock, and then the transceiver module of the rental bicycle is controlled by the processor to transmit a return signal and a position data to the control system to complete the return process with dock.
