In FIG. 1, the information management server 100 includes a setting unit 101, a receiving unit 102, a determining unit 103, a transmitting unit 104, a selecting unit 105, a recording unit 106, a creating unit 107, and an extracting unit 108. I have.

  The setting unit 101 corresponds to information related to a travel locus (hereinafter referred to as “travel locus information”) at the time of entry from the start of parking of the moving object to the completion of parking in the parking space and the rank of the driver's garage entry skill. Attached and set. The parking space is an area where one moving body can be parked, for example, an area partitioned by a white line or the like. The parking start position is, for example, a predetermined position near the parking space, and is detected by a navigation device mounted on the moving body.

  The parking start timing may be, for example, when a preset parking start position is detected, or when parking start is selected by an operation input from the driver using the operation button, It may be when it is detected that the position is located in the back gear, or when it is detected that the moving body has moved backward.

  The parking completion position is when the parking space is within the parking space, and is detected by the moving body. The parking completion may be, for example, when a preset parking completion position is detected, when parking completion is selected by an operation input from the driver using the operation button, or when the parking brake is It is also possible to detect when it is engaged or when the position of the gear is located in the parking gear.

  In addition to the information on the trajectory traveled by the moving body, the travel trajectory information includes, as will be described later, information on the steering angle of the steering wheel when entering the garage, information on the moving distance of the moving object when entering the garage, and the garage of the moving object. It may include the time required for putting. Further, the travel locus information may include information on the position in the parking space at the time of parking completion, specifically, information on whether the vehicle is parked in the center of the parking space, parked on the right side or on the left side.

  The driver's garage skill is, specifically, whether the garage is good or bad. The rank may be a two-level rank indicating whether the driving skill is good or poor, or a multi-level rank expressed in more detail.

  The travel locus information and rank set in the setting unit 101 will be supplemented with specific examples. For example, the time required for entering the garage as the travel locus information and the rank corresponding to the time are set. In this case, the shorter the time required for entering the garage, the higher the rank is set. The receiving unit 102 receives travel locus information from a moving object. The timing of receiving from the moving body is arbitrary, and for example, it is received when the moving body completes parking.

  The determination unit 103 determines the rank set in the setting unit 101 based on the travel locus information received by the reception unit 102. For example, when the setting unit 101 is set with the time required for entering the garage and the rank corresponding to the time, the time required for the receiving unit 102 to enter the garage (for example, , It is assumed that travel locus information including a short time is received. At this time, the determination unit 103 applies the time received by the reception unit 102 to the time set in the setting unit 101, and determines a rank (for example, a higher rank) corresponding to the time.
