The score calculator 330 uses the driving information to calculate a score according to the driving operation of the driver of the vehicle 12 for each predetermined distance. For example, the score calculation unit 330 calculates the driving operation score for each driver in the driving rank information shown in FIG. 5 each time the vehicle 12 travels 10 km.

As shown in FIG. 5, the score calculation unit 330 uses the driving information for each driver acquired by the acquisition unit 300 to calculate scores for calculation targets such as acceleration, deceleration, and curves. The score calculation unit 330 calculates the score so that the higher the skill of the driving operation related to the calculation target or the safer the driving, the higher the numerical value. For example, the score calculation unit 330 calculates the score so that the numerical value increases as the vehicle accelerates and decelerates more slowly.

It should be noted that the score calculation unit 330 according to the present embodiment has described a form in which the score is calculated such that the higher the skill of the driving operation related to the calculation target or the safer the driving, the higher the numerical value. However, it is not limited to this. The score calculator 330 may change the calculated numerical value according to the classification and the driving rank. For example, when the category of the driver is "excellent", the score calculation unit 330 may determine that the driver drives safely and add a predetermined score to the driver's score. In addition, the score to be calculated according to the driving rank is calculated so that the higher the driving rank of the driver, the lower the calculated score, or the lower the driving rank, the higher the calculated score. You can change it. For example, the score calculation unit 330 changes the calculated score so that the higher the driving rank of the driver, the smaller the calculated score (the larger the value to be subtracted) when calculating the score. Further, the score calculation unit 330 changes the score to be calculated (the value to be added to a larger value) when calculating the score, as the driving rank of the driver is lower.

Also, the score calculator 330 adds a score according to the current location of the vehicle 12 . Specifically, the score calculation unit 330 uses the position information of the vehicle 12 acquired by the position information acquisition unit 310 to determine whether the vehicle 12 is present at a predetermined position (score addition point). and if present, add the score.

The rank determining unit 340 determines the driving rank of the driver of the vehicle 12 according to the total score calculated by the score calculating unit 330 during a predetermined period. The rank determining unit 340 calculates the total score of each driver for a period of one month and determines the driving rank of the driver. For example, the rank determination unit 340 sets the driving rank to bronze when the driver's total score is less than 1000 points in a period of one month, and sets the driving rank to silver when the total score is 1000 or more and 1999 or less. And if it is 2000 points or more, it will be determined as gold.

In addition, as an initial value, the rank determination unit 340 determines that the driving rank of the driver is Bronze, which is the lowest driving rank. If it becomes, determine the driver's driving rank to the initial value of Bronze.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the predetermined period has passed, the form in which the driving rank is set to the initial value has been described. However, it is not limited to this. The previous driving rank may be inherited, or a driving rank that is lower than the previous driving rank by a predetermined rank may be determined. For example, if the previous driving rank was gold, the driving rank may be lowered by one rank to silver, and if the overall rank is four ranks or more, the driving rank may be lowered by two ranks or more.

The presentation unit 350 presents the driving rank of the driver to the driver. Specifically, the presentation unit 350 transmits the determined driving rank to the vehicle 12 driven by the driver and presents the driving rank.

When presenting the driving rank to the driver, the presenting unit 350 presents a score according to the driver's driving operation. Specifically, the presentation unit 350 calculates the total score of each calculation target for each driver for a period of one month, and presents it to the driver. For example, the presenting unit 350 totals the scores of the calculation targets such as acceleration, deceleration, and curves of the driver for a period of one month, and presents the total value of each calculation target. That is, as shown in FIG. 7 as an example, the presentation unit 350 presents to the driver the driving rank of the driver, the score for each calculation target, and the total value of the scores.

It should be noted that the presenting unit 350 according to the present embodiment has explained the mode of presenting the driving rank of the driver. However, it is not limited to this. The driving rank of other drivers may be presented. For example, the ranking of the driving rank to which the driver belongs may be presented to present the order of the driver and the other drivers.

The granting unit 360 grants incentives according to the driving rank to which the driver belongs. Here, the incentive is, for example, a reward such as points that can be used as a price when purchasing a product, a discount coupon, or a gift certificate that can be exchanged for a product. In this embodiment, a mode has been described in which rewards such as discount coupons and gift certificates are given according to the driving rank to which the driver belongs. However, it is not limited to this. A sticker indicating the driving rank of the driver may be provided. For example, if a driver has obtained the highest rank of gold, a vehicle sticker indicating that the driver has obtained gold is sent to the driver and attached to the vehicle to indicate that the driver has obtained the gold driving rank. Is possible.
