As shown in FIG. 1, the information providing system 1 includes an information providing device 10, a vehicle V, an in-vehicle device 20, a terminal device 30 and a terminal device 40. FIG. For example, vehicle V is an automobile.

It is also assumed that each device of the information providing system 1 is connected via a network N (for example, the Internet).

For example, the in-vehicle device 20 is a drive recorder mounted on the vehicle V. FIG. Also, for example, the information providing device 10 is a server. Also, for example, the terminal device 30 is a personal computer. Also, for example, the terminal device 40 is a smartphone.

The in-vehicle device 20 includes a camera and an output device. For example, the output device is a display device such as a display and an audio output device such as a speaker that outputs audio.

Also, the in-vehicle device 20 and the terminal device 30 are connected to the information providing device 10 via the network N so as to be capable of data communication. For example, network N is the Internet.

Here, the driver of vehicle V belongs to an organization. In addition, it is assumed that the type is specified for the organization.

For example, the driver of vehicle V belongs to a corporation whose business type is specified. A driver drives a vehicle V on business. The information providing system 1 then evaluates the driver regarding safe driving and the like, and provides the evaluation result to the driver.

The information providing system 1 provides the evaluation result to the in-vehicle device 20, the terminal device 30, or the terminal device 40. FIG. Terminal device 30 and terminal device 40 may be used by a driver.

The flow of processing of the information providing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, first, the information providing device 10 acquires a score from the in-vehicle device 20 (step S1).

Here, for example, the score is the degree of safe driving of the vehicle V driver. In addition, the score may also include the degree of fuel-saving driving.

The information providing device 10 calculates the evaluation value of the driver in all organizations or in the same category based on the score (step S2).

All organizations are all organizations that use the information providing system 1 . The information providing system 1 calculates a relative evaluation value (for example, rank and deviation value) of the driver to be evaluated among the drivers of all organizations.

In addition, the information providing system 1 calculates the relative evaluation values (for example, rank and deviation value) of the driver to be evaluated among the drivers belonging to the organization having the same type as the organization to which the driver to be evaluated belongs. calculate.

The information providing device 10 provides the calculated evaluation value to the terminal device 40 (step S3). The information providing device 10 may provide the evaluation value by screen display, text message or voice.

Further, the information providing device 10 may provide the evaluation value to the in-vehicle device 20 or the terminal device 30 .

The configuration of the information providing device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an information providing device according to the embodiment;

As shown in FIG. 2 , the information providing device 10 has a communication section 11 , a storage section 12 and a control section 13 .

The communication unit 11 is an interface for transmitting and receiving data to and from another device. For example, the communication unit 11 is a NIC (Network Interface Card).

The control unit 13 and the storage unit 12 of the information providing device 10 are, for example, a computer having a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a flash memory, an input/output port, and various circuits. It is realized by

Also, the information providing apparatus 10 may acquire programs and various types of information via other computers or portable recording media connected via a wired or wireless network.

The storage unit 12 stores evaluation information 121 and organization information 122 .

As shown in FIG. 3, the evaluation information 121 is information in which a driver (user) is associated with an organization to which each driver belongs and a score. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of evaluation information.

A user ID is an ID for identifying a driver. The affiliated organization ID is the organization ID of the organization to which the driver belongs. The organization ID is an ID for identifying an organization.

"Dangerous behavior", "violation of road traffic law", "driver's carelessness", "driver characteristics", "e-learning", and "eco-driving" are score items.

That is, there are scores corresponding to each of a plurality of items such as "dangerous behavior", "violation of road traffic law", "driver's carelessness", "driver characteristics", "e-learning", and "eco-driving". Here, it is assumed that a higher score is more desirable.

For example, the score "dangerous behavior" is a score that is deducted when there is dangerous behavior such as sudden start, sudden acceleration, and abrupt steering.

For example, the score “violation of traffic laws” is a score that is deducted when there is behavior that violates traffic laws.

For example, the score "driver's inattentiveness" is a score that is deducted when a driver's image captured by the in-camera is recognized as inattentive, such as falling asleep while driving or driving while driving.

For example, the score "driver characteristics" is a score that is deducted when a behavior that leads to dangerous driving (frequent acceleration and deceleration, etc.) is observed.

For example, the score "e-learning" is a score that is added according to the number of times or participation rate of a designated traffic safety course taken through e-learning. Also, you may score by the score of the confirmation test of e-learning.

For example, the score "eco-driving" is a score that is added when fuel consumption (amount of fuel consumed per distance traveled) is maintained below a certain value.

In addition to the items described so far, for example, there may be items such as "excellent driving" related to considerate driving (for example, mutual compromise, gentle braking).

For example, FIG. 3 shows that a driver with a user ID of "U001" belongs to an organization with an organization ID of "C01."

Also, for example, in FIG. 3, the scores of the driver "U001" for "dangerous behavior", "violation of road traffic law", "driver carelessness", "driver characteristics", "e-learning", and "eco-driving" are shown. 7, 9, 5, 7, 5, 8, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 4, the organization information 122 is information that associates an organization with the type of each organization. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of organization information.

The organization ID is an ID for identifying an organization. The type is the type of organization. For example, an organization is a legal entity. Further, for example, the type is the type of industry.

In addition, the organization information 122 includes information on setting of the in-vehicle device for each organization. Information about settings is represented by the presence or absence of equipment such as an out-camera, an in-camera, and an acceleration sensor in the vehicle.

For example, FIG. 4 shows that the type of organization whose organization ID is "C01" is "transportation". FIG. 4 also shows that the vehicle of the organization "C01" is equipped with all of the out-camera, in-camera, and acceleration sensor.

The control unit 13 has an acquisition unit 131 , a calculation unit 132 and a provision unit 133 . For example, the acquiring unit 131, the calculating unit 132, and the providing unit 133 are implemented by reading and executing programs stored in the ROM by the CPU of the computer.

The subject of each process by the acquisition unit 131 , the calculation unit 132 and the provision unit 133 can be rephrased as the control unit 13 .

The acquisition unit 131 acquires scores regarding safe driving of a plurality of drivers belonging to an organization.

The calculator 132 calculates a first evaluation value and a second evaluation value based on the score.

The first evaluation value is a relative evaluation value of the evaluation target driver among the plurality of drivers.

For example, the calculation unit 132 calculates a first evaluation value, which is a statistical value regarding the score of the driver to be evaluated among the plurality of drivers, and is a statistical value when the scores of the plurality of drivers are used as a population. .

The calculation unit 132 calculates the ranking of the score and the statistical value of the variation as the second evaluation value. The statistical values are, for example, rank, standard deviation and deviation value. In particular, standard deviations and deviations are examples of statistics relating to variability.

The second evaluation value is a relative evaluation value among drivers belonging to an organization that shares the organization type to which the driver to be evaluated belongs.

For example, the calculation unit 132 is a statistical value regarding the score of the driver to be evaluated, which is a statistical value when the score of the drivers belonging to the same organization type to which the driver to be evaluated belongs is taken as a population. A second evaluation value is calculated.

For example, the calculation unit 132 calculates the order and deviation value of the score of the driver "U001" as the first evaluation value when all the drivers whose scores are registered in the evaluation information 121 are taken as the population.

In addition, for example, the calculation unit 132 calculates a population of drivers whose scores are registered in the evaluation information 121 and who belong to an organization whose type is “transportation”. The score ranking and deviation value are calculated as the second evaluation value.

Note that the calculation unit 132 may calculate the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value for the score of each item, or may calculate the total value of the scores.

As a result, the driver can know his/her relative evaluation not only within the organization to which he/she belongs but also within the organization of the same type and in the whole, and can improve his or her motivation for safe driving.

The calculation unit 132 also calculates a second evaluation value based on the type of organization to which the driver to be evaluated belongs, which is obtained by referring to the organization information 122 .

By storing the type of business for each organization in this way, the information providing apparatus 10 can easily calculate the second evaluation value.

Also, as shown in FIG. 4, different organizations may have different vehicle settings, so different scores may be activated for different organizations.

For example, the score "driver's carelessness" is obtained based on the in-camera image. For this reason, the score "driver inattentiveness" is validated in organizations where the in-camera is "present" and invalidated in organizations where the in-camera is "absent".

The acquisition unit 131 acquires a score corresponding to one or more items that are enabled in the organization, among a plurality of items regarding safe driving by the driver.

Then, the calculation unit 132 calculates the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value based on the obtained total score value adjusted according to the items enabled in the organization.

For example, assume that there are six item scores shown in FIG.

In the organization "C01", the maximum value of the total score value is 60 because the score of 6 items is enabled.

On the other hand, in the organization "C02", the score "driver carelessness" is invalidated and the scores of the five items are validated, so the maximum value of the total score value is 50.

In this case, the calculation unit 132 corrects the total score value of the drivers belonging to the organization “C02” to 60/50 times (1.2 times), and calculates the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value. Calculate a value.

By matching the maximum value of the total score value between organizations in this way, it is possible to perform an evaluation that takes into account differences in vehicle settings between organizations.

The providing unit 133 causes the terminal device used by the driver to be evaluated to display a screen showing the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value.

Thereby, the driver can intuitively grasp the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value.

The terminal devices used by the driver to be evaluated include not only the terminal device 30 and the terminal device 40 but also the in-vehicle device 20 .

The provision unit 133 provides the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value by displaying the evaluation result display screen 500 on the terminal device.

Further, when the evaluation values are provided to the in-vehicle device 20, the in-vehicle device 20 obtains the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value, and sends them to an output device provided in the vehicle in which the in-vehicle device 20 is mounted. , to output information indicating the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value. For example, the output device is a display device or an audio output device.

As a result, the driver can check the evaluation value in the vehicle and use the evaluation result in driving.

The in-vehicle device 20 may have functions similar to those of the information providing device 10 . For example, the in-vehicle device 20 obtains scores from a plurality of in-vehicle devices through inter-vehicle communication, and calculates the first evaluation value and second evaluation value of the driver based on the obtained scores.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of an evaluation result display screen. As shown in FIG. 5, the evaluation result display screen 500 displays the ID of the driver (user), the ID of the organization to which the driver belongs, and the type of organization.

Also, on the evaluation result display screen 500, the score (solid line) of each item of the driver "U001" to be evaluated and the overall average (broken line) are displayed in a radar chart.

Also, in the area 501, the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value regarding the total value of the score (points) of the driver "U001" are displayed.

Area 501 shows that the total score of driver “U001” is 41 and the maximum score is 60.

In addition, the region 501 shows that the ranking and deviation value of the total value in the company (organization “C01”) are “8th” and “52”, respectively.

In addition, the region 501 shows that the ranking and the deviation value in the same industry (type “transportation industry”) of the total value are “39th” and “53”, respectively. Ranking and deviation values in the same industry are examples of second evaluation values.

In addition, the region 501 shows that the ranking and the deviation value in the overall total value (all drivers of the evaluation information 121) are "181st" and "56", respectively. The overall rank and deviation value are examples of first evaluation values.

An area 502 shows the score (score) for each item, the company's own company, the same industry, the overall rank and the deviation value. Also, in area 502, the number of occurrences of some items is displayed.

For example, in the area 502, the score "dangerous behavior" of the driver "U001" is 7, the number of occurrences is 1, and the ranking/deviation value of the company, the same industry, and the whole are "5th/55", respectively. "23rd/54th" and "130th/61" are shown.

Also, in area 503, a message corresponding to the score is displayed. In the example of FIG. 5, the message "Make sure to stop at intersections without traffic lights..." is displayed in area 503 .

Further, the providing unit 133 may output a text message indicating the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value to the terminal device used by the driver to be evaluated. For example, the providing unit 133 provides a text message via e-mail, SNS (Social networking service), or the like.

This allows the driver to accurately grasp the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure of the information providing device according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, first, the information providing device 10 acquires the score of the driver (step S101).

The information providing device 10 may acquire the score from the in-vehicle device 20, or may calculate the score based on the information collected from the in-vehicle device 20 or the like. For example, the information providing device 10 calculates a score based on behavior estimated from position information collected from the in-vehicle device 20 .

Next, the information providing device 10 calculates relative evaluation values among all drivers (step S102).

For example, the information providing device 10 calculates a relative evaluation value with all drivers registered in the evaluation information 121 as a population.

Subsequently, the information providing device 10 calculates a relative evaluation value among all drivers belonging to an organization of the same type (step S103).

For example, the information providing device 10 calculates a relative evaluation value for a population of drivers belonging to corporations in the same industry.

The information providing device 10 then provides the calculated evaluation value (step S104).

The information providing device 10 can provide the evaluation value by screen display, text message, or voice.

For example, the information providing device 10 may periodically (for example, once a month) notify the driver of the evaluation value.

So far, an embodiment has been described in which the organization is a legal entity and the type is an industry. In other words, the acquisition unit 131 acquires scores regarding safe driving of a plurality of drivers belonging to a corporation that is an organization. Further, the calculation unit 132 calculates a relative evaluation value among drivers belonging to a corporation having the same business type as the corporation to which the driver to be evaluated belongs as a second evaluation value.

As a result, the awareness of safe driving in the driver's work can be improved.

On the other hand, the organization and type are not limited to those of the embodiment. For example, the type may be each driver's job type (including whether or not he or she is a professional driver), residential area, sex, and age. The organization may also be a driving school attended by drivers in training.

Further effects and modifications can be easily derived by those skilled in the art.
