Description

  The present invention estimates the attribute of the user of the vehicle based on the category type of the vehicle, the vehicle type, the grade that is a subclass of the vehicle type, the exterior color, and the like for the user of the vehicle such as an automobile. The present invention relates to a facility information distribution server and facility information distribution method for distributing facility information according to user attributes.

Conventionally, when providing facility information to a vehicle such as an automobile, facility information (for example, coupon information) is uniformly distributed at a distance from the current position of the vehicle. For this reason, the user needs to search for a facility that matches his / her attributes from among a lot of distributed facility information.
For example, when moving to a destination, there is a need to stop at the facility for meals, toilets, refueling, and the like. As a solution, an in-vehicle navigation device mounted on a vehicle transmits a current position of the vehicle to a navigation server, and a facility in which the navigation server is within a predetermined range of the current position of the vehicle or a future destination point. A navigation system has been devised that presents the searched facility to the user after searching (for example, Patent Document 1).
