JP, 2014-229053, A

By the way, in recent years, it has been pointed out that a misplaced child (Forgotten baby syndrome) in a car in a car has become a problem, and this misplacement often occurs when a life pattern is different from usual. For example, if a driver who does not usually pick up and drop off a child happens to commute to the kindergarten during the day's commute, he/she forgets to stop in the kindergarten because the habits of his brain mechanism will prevail. It is easy for me to go to work. The technique of Patent Document 1 described above is not so effective from the viewpoint of preventing children from being left behind in the vehicle, such as the driver forgetting the destination halfway because the timing of notifying the destination is too early.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to effectively make a driver have a stop-at destination when there is a different stop-at destination for the driver in traveling of the vehicle. There is a vehicle information providing system and an in-vehicle device that can notify the user.

In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle information providing system (1) of the present invention includes a vehicle position detecting device (4) for detecting the position of the vehicle and a driver identifying device (7) for identifying a driver of the vehicle. And an incidental information judging device (7) for judging the presence or absence of incidental information related to the driver's stopover, and a trip of the driver currently traveling is routinely performed on the basis of trip information concerning each driver. A routine trip determination device (15) for determining whether it is a routine trip, and, when the routine trip determination device (15) determines that it is a routine trip, the destination of the routine trip based on the accompanying information. Is a stop-destination determination device (16) that determines the presence or absence of a different stop-destination, and if the stop-destination determination device (16) determines that there is a stop-destination, An informing device (3) for providing informing information for urging the user to head.

According to the above configuration, when the driver rides on the vehicle and travels, the position of the own vehicle is detected by the own vehicle position detection device (4), the driver of the vehicle is identified by the driver identification device (7), and the accompanying information determination device is provided. By (7), it is determined whether or not there is accompanying information related to the driver's stopover.

Then, the routine trip determination device (15) determines, based on the trip information about each driver, whether the trip of the driver currently traveling is a routine trip that is performed on a daily basis. When it is determined to be a routine trip, the stop-destination determination device (16) determines whether there is a stop-destination different from the destination of the routine trip based on the accompanying information. When it is determined that there is a stop-by destination, the notification device (3) provides the notification information to the driver.

Therefore, the driver can be informed that there is a stop-by destination by obtaining the notification information, and can be reminded that he or she is heading for the stop-by destination. In this case, the notification information can be provided to the driver while the vehicle is traveling, not when the vehicle departs. As a result, when the vehicle has a destination which is different from the usual destination for the driver to travel, it is possible to effectively inform the driver that the destination is the destination.

<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a first embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. In the present embodiment, the system is configured to include an on-vehicle device mounted on the vehicle and a management server that can communicate with the on-vehicle device. Further, in the present embodiment, for example, a case where a driver of a vehicle (automobile) transfers a child to a kindergarten when commuting to a company will be described as a specific example.

FIG. 1 schematically shows the configuration of a vehicle information providing system 1 according to this embodiment. This vehicle information providing system 1 includes an on-vehicle device 2 installed in a vehicle that a driver (user) gets on (owns) and a management server 11 provided in an information center and capable of communicating with the on-vehicle device 2. It is configured to include. Further, in the present embodiment, the user uses, for example, the schedule sharing management service provided by the third party server 21, and the management server 11 can access the user's schedule (calendar) information 22 via the Internet, for example. It is possible.

The vehicle-mounted device 2 includes a notification unit 3, a position information acquisition unit 4, a data transmission/reception unit 5, a vehicle information acquisition unit 6, an in-vehicle camera 7, and a communication unit 8 and, although not shown, a computer or the like that controls them all. The control unit is composed of. Among them, the notification unit 3 functions as a notification device that provides notification information to the driver as described later, and notifies the information by, for example, voice, sound, or screen display. In particular, in the present embodiment, it is possible to display fellow passenger information, such as a facial photograph or a face illustration, as notification information on a meter display, a head-up display, or a navigation display.

The position information acquisition unit 4 detects the current position of the host vehicle, the current time, and the like based on the received signal from the GPS receiver, for example. Therefore, the position information acquisition unit 4 realizes the function as the own vehicle position detection device. The data transmitter/receiver 5 communicates with the outside including the management server 11. As will be described later, the data transmitting/receiving unit 5 has a function as a transmitting device that transmits the vehicle position information, driver information, and associated information to the management server 11, and a function as a receiving device that receives the notification information from the management server 11. Fulfill The vehicle information acquisition unit 6 is connected to, for example, an in-vehicle network, and acquires various vehicle information such as ignition information, vehicle speed, and seating information.

The in-vehicle camera 7 captures a driver's face and realizes a function as a driver identification device that identifies a driver by face authentication. As for a fellow passenger, the individual can be identified by face recognition, and the passenger also functions as a fellow passenger identifying device. The communication unit 8 communicates with a smartphone carried by a person and brought into the vehicle, a communication terminal 9 such as a GPS terminal for a child, an IC tag, a smart key, or the like by short-distance wireless communication according to, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard. This also realizes a function as a device for identifying a driver or a passenger. In the present embodiment, the passenger information is transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2 to the management server 11 as the accompanying information.

The management server 11 includes a data transmission/reception unit 12, a driver determination unit 13, an occupant determination unit 14, a usual route estimation unit 15, a fellow passenger destination estimation unit 16, a route end point calculation unit 17, and a driver management table 18 as a database. And an occupant management table 19. At the same time, the management server 11 includes a control unit (not shown) including a computer or the like for controlling them. The data transmission/reception unit 12 communicates with the vehicle-mounted device 2 of each vehicle, and receives a vehicle position information, driver information, and accompanying information transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2, and a notification device. It has a function as a transmission device for transmitting information to the vehicle-mounted device 2.

The driver determination unit 13 determines, based on the driver information transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2, whether the driver driving the vehicle is a pre-registered driver. Regarding registered drivers, trip information is collected based on the vehicle position information or the like transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2, and is stored and stored in the driver management table 18. The trip information includes, for example, driver ID information, date and time of travel, day of the week, departure point, destination, and travel route data, and is transmitted at intervals of, for example, several seconds.

Further, the occupant determination unit 14 determines whether or not the occupant is a pre-registered occupant (passenger) based on the accompanying information transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2, in this case, the information of the fellow passenger. Regarding registered passengers, trip information is similarly collected based on the vehicle position information or the like transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2, and is stored and stored in the passenger management table 19. In this case, the fellow passenger management table 19 stores data of fellow passengers such as ID information, boarding time, boarding day of the week, departure place, and departure place (destination).

The usual route estimation unit 15 determines whether or not the trip of the driver currently traveling is a routine trip that is performed on a daily basis, and functions as a routine trip determination device. In this case, the determination as to whether or not it is a routine trip is made based on the trip information stored in the driver management table 18, but here, at least the time zone and day of the week in which the passenger is riding are taken into consideration. It is determined whether the driver trip is a routine trip that is performed on a daily basis. More specifically, a Bayesian network model, for example, is adopted for the estimation of the usual traveling route.

Here, the usual method of estimating the travel route will be briefly described with reference to FIG. In the trip information stored in the driver management table 18, information on roads (links) L and intersections (nodes) N, which the vehicle has traveled and which is divided for each intersection on the map, is sequentially stored as route data and turned. Save the intersections and the roads that passed without turning. First, the driver's destination is estimated. At that time, a Bayesian network work model in which the boarding time, the day of the week, the place of departure, and the destination are nodes is created, and the destination is estimated. For example, in the morning hours on weekdays, the company where the driver commute is estimated to be the destination.

Then, for a combination of road links L having a branch N that has actually turned or passed, the information of the number of times of passing and the destination reached after passing is recorded, and the probability of proceeding in each direction of the branch respectively. Ask for. By multiplying the probability by the driver's destination estimation result, whether to turn right or left at a certain branch point N is predicted, that is, the probability is obtained. The predicted link L propagates the probability and is connected, and the one with the highest probability is set as the usual travel route. As a result, the usual traveling route (routine trip) when the driver goes to the company is required.

Returning to FIG. 1, when the usual route estimation unit 15 determines that it is a routine trip of the driver, the passenger destination estimation unit 16 is based on the accompanying information transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2. , Which determines whether there is a stop-by destination different from the destination of the routine trip, and functions as a stop-by destination determining device. In the present embodiment, the fellow passenger destination estimation unit 16 determines, based on the trip information of the fellow passenger stored in the occupant management table 19, whether or not the trip currently running is a routine trip of the fellow passenger, In the case of a routine trip, the place where the passenger gets on and off is determined to be the stop-off destination.

Also in this case, for example, the Bayesian network model is used to estimate the destination of the passenger. At that time, a Bayesian network model is created with the boarding time, the day of the week, the place of departure, and the place of departure as nodes, and the candidate with the highest probability of getting off is estimated as the destination of the fellow passenger. For example, when the driver's child is a fellow passenger, for example, a kindergarten is set as the passenger's destination (stop destination).

Then, when the fellow passenger destination estimation unit 16 determines that there is a stop-by destination, notification information for urging the driver to go to the stop-by destination is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device 2. .. At this time, the route end point calculation unit 17 calculates a route from the current position of the vehicle to the stop-by destination, compares the calculated route with the route of the driver's routine trip, and there is an overlapping route. Specifies the end point of the overlap. The route end point calculation unit 17 is configured to set, as the notification timing of the notification information, a position where the vehicle is within a predetermined distance from the end point, for example, within a radius of 500 m. Functions as a setting device.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, with respect to the driver's usual traveling route R1, the traveling route R2 to the passenger's destination partially overlaps (the overlapping route is indicated by O), and a certain node When branching at N, the node N becomes the end point T. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, a circle with a radius of 500 m is drawn centering on the end point T, and the place where the vehicle enters the circle is set as the notification timing, and the notification is performed.

In the vehicle information providing system 1 having the above-described configuration, for example, when a driver (father) commute to work from his/her home in his/her car on weekdays or when he/she goes out by car on a holiday, management is performed from the vehicle-mounted device 2. The trip information is transmitted to the server 11 and is accumulated and stored in the driver management table 18 of the management server 11. Further, for example, even when a child of a driver is usually sent to a kindergarten by a mother's car, the vehicle-mounted device 2 of the car tells the management server 11 the trip information of the driver (mother) and the passenger. Trip information of (child) is transmitted and accumulated and stored in the passenger management table 19.

Then, in the vehicle information providing system 1 of the present embodiment, as will be described later in the description of the operation, when there is a fellow passenger, the management server 11 determines whether it is a driver's routine trip, and the fellow passenger's routine trip ( It is configured to determine whether or not there is a stop-by destination and transmit notification information for urging the user to stop at the stop-by destination. In the vehicle-mounted device 2, when the notification information from the management server 11 is received, the received notification information is provided to the driver. With this, for example, if a driver who does not usually pick up and drop off a child happens to send the child to a kindergarten at the time of commuting on that day, the driver may forget to leave the child in the car (Forgotten baby syndrome). Effective to prevent.

Next, the operation of the vehicle information providing system 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, as described above, in the present embodiment, a specific example is given in which a driver (father) who does not normally pick up and drop off a child happens to send the child to a kindergarten when commuting by car on that day. While explaining. At this time, as the positional relationship among the driver's home H, the company C, and the kindergarten P, there are three possible patterns as shown in FIG.

That is, in FIG. 2, the route R of the routine trip from the home H to the company C is shown by a broken line arrow, and the route the driver travels this time is shown by a solid line arrow. FIG. 2A is a pattern in which the kindergarten P is located in the middle of the route R of the routine trip from the home H to the company C. In this case, the route H from the home H to the kindergarten P overlaps, and the end point T is before the kindergarten P. FIG. 2B is a pattern in which the kindergarten P is located at a position slightly deviated from the middle of the route R from the home H to the company C. In this case, a route O that overlaps with a position branching toward the kindergarten P in the middle of the route R becomes the overlapping point O, and the branching point becomes the end point T. FIG. 2C is a pattern in which the kindergarten P is located at a position further past the route R from the home H to the company C. In this case, the route R from the home H to the kindergarten P coincides with the overlapping route O, and the end point T is before the company C.

By the way, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are sequences showing a mutual communication and processing procedure executed by the vehicle-mounted device 2 and the management server 11 to prevent unintended placement of a child in the vehicle, which is executed by the vehicle-mounted device 2 and the management server 11 in the present embodiment. It is a figure. Although FIGS. 3 and 4 are originally one continuous drawing, they are shown in two separate drawings due to space limitations.

That is, first, as shown in FIG. 3, when the vehicle leaves home H and starts traveling, in the vehicle-mounted device 2, driver information is transmitted to the management server 11 in step A1. In step A2, the vehicle position information of the vehicle is transmitted to the management server 11. When the management server 11 receives the driver information from the vehicle-mounted device 2 in step B1, the driver is specified in step B2. At the same time, when the vehicle position information of the vehicle is received in step B3, the driver's destination (company C) is estimated in step B4, and the driver's usual traveling route R (routine trip) is calculated in step B5. Estimate whether or not.

If the driver's routine trip is estimated and there is a fellow passenger in the vehicle, the vehicle-mounted device 2 transmits the fellow passenger (child) information to the management server 11 in the next step A3. At the same time, the vehicle position information of the vehicle is transmitted in step A4. In the management server 11, when the information of the fellow passenger is received from the vehicle-mounted device 2 in step B6, the fellow passenger is identified in step B7. At the same time, when the vehicle position information of the vehicle is received in step B8, the destination information of the fellow passenger, that is, the information of the kindergarten P which is the stop destination, is acquired in step B9, and the fellow passenger in step B10. The route to the destination (Kindergarten P) is searched.

Proceeding to FIG. 4, in the management server 11, in step B11, as shown in FIG. 2, the route R of the driver's routine trip and the route to the passenger's destination (kindergarten P) overlap. O is calculated and the end point T is calculated. In the next step B12, it is judged whether or not the current position of the vehicle is close to the end point T (for example, within 500 m). Then, when the current position of the vehicle approaches the vicinity of the end point T (Yes in step B12), the notification information is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device 2 in step B13.

In the vehicle-mounted device 2, when the notification information is received from the management server 11 in step A5, the notification information is notified to the driver in step A6. As for the notification of the notification information, as described above, the information of the fellow passenger, in this case, a face photograph or a face illustration of the child is displayed as the notification information on the meter display, the head-up display, or the display for navigation. Voice notification, for example, guidance to a stop-by destination by synthetic voice may be performed together. With this, the driver can be informed that the child is on board, that is, that there is a stop-by destination, by obtaining the notification information, and can be reminded that he/she is heading to the stop-by destination.

The process ends when the in-vehicle device 2 is notified of the notification information. However, if the driver deviates from the route to the searched passenger's destination (kindergarten P) and needs to reroute, the vehicle position information is further managed from the vehicle-mounted device 2 in step A7. It is transmitted to the server 11. When the management server 11 receives the position information of the vehicle in step B14, the route search to the destination of the fellow passenger is performed again in step B15, and the processing from step B11 is repeated.

As described above, according to the vehicle information providing system 1 of the present embodiment, the driver is informed that there is a stop-by destination by receiving the notification information from the vehicle-mounted device 2, and heads to the stop-by destination. Can be conscious again. In this case, the notification information is provided to the driver while the vehicle is traveling, not when the vehicle departs. As a result, according to the present embodiment, when the driver has a destination to stop in which is different from the usual destination during traveling of the vehicle, it is possible to effectively notify the driver that there is a stop destination. Produce an effect.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the route end point calculation unit 17 calculates a route from the current position of the vehicle to the stop-by destination, compares the calculated route with the route of the routine trip, and when there is an overlapping route, The end point of the overlapping portion is specified, and the notification timing is set before the end point. As a result, even if the driver inadvertently forgets to go to the stop-destination due to the routine of trips, he/she leaves the route to the stop-destination before the branch toward the stop-destination. The notification information can be notified in advance. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from making a detour by deviating from an appropriate route to the stop-by destination while promoting the driver to head to the stop-by destination.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the usual route estimation unit 15 determines whether or not the trip of the driver currently traveling is a routine trip that is performed on a daily basis, at least in consideration of the time of day of riding and the day of the week. As configured. The action pattern when the user moves in the vehicle is often determined by the day of the week, and often by the time of day. Therefore, if the conditions are narrowed down at least under the two conditions of the riding time zone and the day of the week, it becomes possible to judge with a certainty whether or not it is a routine trip that is routinely performed.

In the present embodiment, the accompanying information includes information about getting on and off of a fellow passenger of the vehicle, and the fellow passenger destination estimation unit 16 has a configuration in which the place at which the fellow passenger is getting on and off is the stop destination. According to this, for example, when a child is sent to a kindergarten as a fellow passenger, it is effective, and "unintended misplacement of the child in the vehicle" can be effectively prevented. In particular, the configuration is such that the place where the fellow passenger gets on and off is automatically determined as the stop-by destination without the driver performing input operation. This saves the user the trouble and becomes more effective.

Further, in the present embodiment, the notification unit 3 of the vehicle-mounted device 2 is configured to display information such as a face photograph of the passenger as notification information on the meter display, the head-up display, or the display for navigation. This does not mean that the driver is instructed to perform a predetermined action merely by displaying the information of the passenger, so that the driver can be prevented from feeling annoyed.

<Second Embodiment and Other Embodiments>
FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show the second embodiment, and the points different from the first embodiment are as follows. That is, in the present embodiment, instead of using the passenger's destination as the stop-by destination, the accompanying information includes information on the goods or services given or received by the driver, and the place where the goods or services are given or received is stopped by. It is regarded as the destination. Here, a specific example will be given in which the driver stops at a cleaning shop as a stop-over destination and receives (or deposits) clothes on the way back from the company to his/her home. At this time, the driver (user) has previously registered in the schedule information 22 that he or she will stop at the laundry to receive the clothes on the way back on the day.

8 and 9 are sequence diagrams showing procedures of mutual communication and processing executed by the vehicle-mounted device 2 and the management server 11. Also in this case, although FIGS. 8 and 9 are originally one continuous drawing, they are shown in two separate drawings for the sake of space. That is, first, in FIG. 8, when the vehicle leaves the company C and starts traveling, in the vehicle-mounted device 2, the driver information is transmitted to the management server 11 in step A21. In step A22, the vehicle position information of the vehicle is transmitted to the management server 11.

When the management server 11 receives the driver information from the vehicle-mounted device 2 in step B21, the driver is specified in step B22. At the same time, when the vehicle position information of the vehicle is received in step B23, the driver's destination (for example, home H) is estimated in step B24, and the driver's usual traveling route R (routine trip) is calculated in step B25. ) Estimate whether or not. If it is estimated that the driver's routine trip is performed, the schedule information 22 of the driver is acquired in the next step B26, and accordingly, in step S27, it is detected that there is a cleaning reception event.

Next, in the management server 11, a route search to the cleaning shop is performed in step B28. Then, proceeding to FIG. 9, in the management server 11, an overlapping route O of the route R of the driver's routine trip and the calculated route to the cleaning shop is obtained in step B29, and the end point T is calculated. To be done. In the next step B30, it is determined whether or not the current position of the vehicle is close to the end point T (for example, within 500 m). Then, when the current position of the vehicle approaches the vicinity of the end point T (Yes in step B30), the notification information is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device 2 in step B31.

In the vehicle-mounted device 2, when the notification information is received from the management server 11 in step A23, the notification information is notified to the driver in step A24. The notification of the notification information is displayed on, for example, a meter display, a head-up display, or a display for navigation as the notification information indicating that it is necessary to stop at a cleaning shop. Voice notification, for example, guidance to a stop-by destination by synthetic voice may be performed together. With this, the driver can be informed that there is an event to stop at the laundry by obtaining the notification information, and can be reminded that he/she will be heading to the stop destination.

The process ends when the in-vehicle device 2 is notified of the notification information. However, when the driver deviates from the searched route to the stop-by destination (cleaning shop) P and needs to reroute, the vehicle position information from the vehicle-mounted device 2 is further managed in step A25. 11 is transmitted. When the management server 11 receives the vehicle position information in step B32, the route search to the stop-by destination P is performed again in step B33, and the processing from step B29 is repeated.

Also in the second embodiment as described above, when there is an unusual destination for the driver in traveling of the vehicle, it is possible to effectively inform the driver that there is a destination. As a result, when the driver needs to stop at a place where goods or services are given and received, the driver can be prevented from forgetting the stop and traveling.

In addition to the laundry shops, the destinations for the delivery of goods or services include returning books borrowed from the library and DVDs to rental shops, posting letters, shopping, receiving prescription drugs at pharmacies, and going to Various places can be set as stop-by destinations, such as reminding a shop. Also in the first embodiment, the stop-off destination, which is the destination of the fellow passenger, may be acquired from the schedule information.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the vehicle information providing system is configured as a system including the management server and the vehicle-mounted device. However, as the vehicle information providing system, a system that does not include a server by providing a necessary configuration on the vehicle-mounted device side. It is also possible to Further, although not shown, in addition to each of the above-described embodiments, the following modifications can be implemented. That is, when there is a branch road ahead of the traveling route of the vehicle, and when it is determined that the vehicle is traveling in a lane that is not the lane heading for the stop-by destination, the notification unit 3 of the vehicle-mounted device 2 indicates that. You may comprise so that it may notify. According to this, even if the driver forgets to forget, it is possible to inform the driver before going to the wrong route, and it is possible to prevent from making a detour when going to the stop-by destination.

Further, the vehicle-mounted device 2 may be provided with a snooze function for repeatedly providing the notification information by the notification unit 3 unless a predetermined stop operation is performed. According to this, by repeatedly providing the notification information, it is more effective to prevent the driver from forgetting to forget. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described respective embodiments, and various modifications can be made to the hardware configuration of the vehicle-mounted device or the management server, for example.
