JP 2014-229053 A

By the way, in recent years, there has been a problem of unintentional misplacement of children in a car (Forgotten baby syndrome), and it has been pointed out that this misplacement often occurs in an unusual life pattern. For example, there is a case where a driver who does not usually pick up a child happens to send the child to a kindergarten during the day's commute. In this case, because the habits are won by the brain mechanism, it is easy to forget to stop by the kindergarten and go to the commute. The technique of Patent Document 1 described above is not a very effective technique from the viewpoint of preventing children from being left behind in the vehicle, for example, because the timing for notifying the destination is too early and the driver forgets it halfway.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle information providing system and an in-vehicle device capable of effectively notifying a driver that there is a stop destination when there is a destination to be stopped that is different from usual for the driver in traveling of the vehicle. The purpose is to provide.

In the first aspect of the present disclosure, the vehicle information providing system includes a vehicle position detection device that detects a position of the vehicle, a driver identification device that identifies a driver of the vehicle, and accompanying information related to the driver's stoppage. An accompanying information determination device that determines the presence or absence of a vehicle, a routine trip determination device that determines whether a trip of a currently running driver is a routine trip that is routinely performed based on trip information about each driver, and When it is determined by the routine trip determination device that it is a routine trip, based on the accompanying information, a stop destination determination device that determines whether there is a stop destination different from the destination of the routine trip, and the stop purpose When the land determination device determines that there is a stopover destination, the driver is urged to go to the stopover destination. And a notification device for providing broadcast information fit.

According to the above configuration, when the driver travels on the vehicle, the position of the own vehicle is detected by the own vehicle position detection device, the driver of the vehicle is specified by the driver specifying device, and the accompanying information determination device relates to the stop of the driver. The presence or absence of accompanying information is determined.

Then, the routine trip determination device determines whether or not the trip of the driver currently traveling is a routine trip that is performed on a daily basis, based on the trip information regarding each driver. When it is determined that the trip is a routine trip, based on the accompanying information, the stoppage destination determination device determines whether there is a stopover destination different from the destination of the routine trip. When it is determined that there is a stop-off destination, the notification information is provided to the driver by the notification device.

Therefore, the driver is informed that the stop destination exists by obtaining the notification information, and can reaffirm that he is heading to the stop destination. In this case, the notification information can be provided to the driver not during the departure of the vehicle but during the traveling of the vehicle. As a result, when there is a destination to be stopped that is different from usual for the driver during traveling of the vehicle, it is possible to effectively notify the driver that there is a stop destination.

<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. In addition, in this embodiment, it is comprised as a system containing the onboard equipment mounted in the vehicle and the management server which can communicate with onboard equipment. In the present embodiment, for example, a case where a driver of an automobile as a vehicle picks up 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 a vehicle-mounted device 2 mounted on a driver, that is, a vehicle owned by a user or mounted on a vehicle, and a management server 11 provided in an information center and capable of communicating with the vehicle-mounted device 2. Consists of. In this embodiment, the user uses a schedule sharing management service provided by, for example, the third-party server 21, and the management server 11 accesses the user's schedule information, that is, calendar information 22 via the Internet, for example. 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 unit 7, and a communication unit 8, and although not shown, a computer that controls all of them. Etc. are provided. Among them, the notification unit 3 serves as a notification device that provides notification information to the driver, as will be described later, and notifies information by, for example, voice, sound, and screen display. In particular, in this embodiment, passenger information, such as a face photograph or a face illustration, can be displayed as notification information on a meter display, a head-up display, or a display for navigation.

The position information acquisition unit 4 detects the current position, the current time, and the like of the host vehicle based on the reception signal of the GPS receiver, for example. Therefore, the position information acquisition unit 4 realizes a function as the own vehicle position detection device. The data transmission / reception unit 5 performs communication with the outside including the management server 11, and includes a transmission unit 5a and a reception unit 5b. The transmission unit 5 a of the data transmission / reception unit 5 functions as a transmission device that transmits the vehicle position information, driver information, and accompanying information to the management server 11 as described later. The receiving unit 5b functions as a receiving device that receives broadcast information from the management server 11. The vehicle information acquisition unit 6 is connected to an in-vehicle network, for example, and acquires various vehicle information such as ignition information, vehicle speed, and seating information.

The in-vehicle camera unit 7 includes a camera that captures the interior of the vehicle and an image processing device that includes a computer that processes the captured image. This in-vehicle camera unit 7 captures the driver's face in the passenger compartment, and realizes the function of the driver specifying unit 7a as a driver specifying device that specifies the driver by face authentication from the captured image. Further, the in-vehicle camera unit 7 can photograph the passenger's face in the passenger compartment, and can identify the individual of the passenger from the photographed image by face authentication. As the accompanying information specifying device 7b as the accompanying information specifying device, The function is also realized. 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 children, an IC tag, and a smart key, and short-range wireless communication according to, for example, the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard. Is to do. Therefore, the communication unit 8 also realizes a function as a device for specifying a driver or a passenger. In the present embodiment, passenger information is transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2 to the management server 11 as 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 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 for controlling the whole. Among them, the data transmission / reception unit 12 performs communication with the vehicle-mounted device 2 of each vehicle, and includes a transmission unit 12a and a reception unit 12b. The receiving unit 12b functions as a receiving device that receives the vehicle position information, the driver information, and the accompanying information transmitted from the on-vehicle device 2, and the transmitting unit 12a transmits the notification information to the on-vehicle device 2. Functions as a device.

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

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

The usual route estimation unit 15 determines whether the trip of the driver currently traveling is a routine trip that is routinely performed, and functions as a routine trip determination device. In this case, whether or not the routine trip has occurred is determined based on the trip information stored in the driver management table 18. Here, in consideration of at least the boarding time zone and the day of the week, it is determined whether or not the trip of the currently traveling driver is a routine trip that is routinely performed. More specifically, for example, a Bayesian network model is employed for usual driving route estimation.

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

Then, for the combination of road links L with a branch N that is actually bent or passed, the number of passes and the information of the destination reached after passing are 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, it is predicted whether to turn right or left at a certain branch point N, that is, a probability is obtained. The predicted link L is connected by propagating the probability, and the link with the highest probability is set as the usual travel route. As a result, the usual travel route, that is, the routine trip when the driver goes to the company is required.

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

Also in this case, for example, a Bayesian network model is used to estimate the passenger's destination. In that case, a Bayesian network model is created with the boarding time, boarding day, departure place, and getting-off place as nodes, and the most probable getting-off candidate is estimated as the destination of the passenger. For example, when the driver's child is a passenger, the kindergarten is set as the destination of the passenger, that is, the stopover destination.

When the passenger destination estimation unit 16 determines that there is a stopover destination, notification information for prompting the driver to go to the stopover 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 location of the vehicle to the stop destination, and 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 sets a place where the vehicle is within a predetermined distance from the end point, for example, within a radius of 500 m, as the notification timing of the notification information. Functions as a setting device.

In this case, as shown by O in FIG. 6, the driving route R2 to the passenger's destination is overlapped partway with respect to the usual driving route R1 of the driver, and branches at a certain node N. In this case, the node N becomes the end point T. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, a circle with a radius of 500 m is drawn around the end point T, and the place where the vehicle enters the circle is set as the notification timing, and notification is performed.

In the vehicle information providing system 1 having the above-described configuration, for example, when a father as a driver commutes to work from his home on weekdays or goes out on a holiday on a car, he / she manages from the vehicle-mounted device 2. Trip information is transmitted to the server 11. The trip information is accumulated and stored in the driver management table 18 of the management server 11. In some cases, for example, a driver's child is sent to a kindergarten, usually in the mother's car. Also in this case, the trip information of the child who is the passenger is transmitted to the management server 11 from the vehicle-mounted device 2 of the automobile, and is accumulated and stored in the passenger management table 19 together with the trip information of the mother, for example.

And in the vehicle information provision system 1 of this embodiment, as will be described later in the description of the operation, the management server 11 determines whether there is a driver's routine trip when there is a passenger. Then, it is determined whether there is a passenger's routine trip, that is, a stop-by destination, and notification information for urging to stop at the stop-off destination is transmitted. 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. For example, if a driver who doesn't usually pick up a child happens to send the child to kindergarten during the day's commute, the child will be left unintentionally in the car (Forgotten baby syndrome) Effective to prevent.

Next, the operation of the vehicle information providing system 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 7 as well. Here, as described above, in this embodiment, a specific example of a case where a father who does not normally pick up a child happens to send a child to a kindergarten when commuting in a car that day And explain. At this time, as the positional relationship between the driver's home H, company C, and kindergarten P, there are three possible patterns as shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C.

That is, in FIGS. 2A to 2C, the route R of the routine trip from the home H to the company C is indicated by a dashed arrow, and the route on which the driver is traveling this time is indicated by a solid arrow. FIG. 2A shows a pattern in which the kindergarten P is located on the route R of the routine trip from the home H to the company C. In this case, the route O overlaps from the home H to the kindergarten P, and the end point T is in front of the kindergarten P. FIG. 2B shows a pattern in which the kindergarten P is located at a position slightly off the middle of the route R from the home H to the company C. In this case, the route O overlaps to a position where it branches toward the kindergarten P in the middle of the route R, and the branch position becomes the end point T. FIG. 2C shows 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.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are sequences showing communication and processing procedures between the two related to prevention of unintentional misplacement of a child in the vehicle, which is executed by the vehicle-mounted device 2 and the management server 11 in the present embodiment. FIG. 3 and 4 are originally one continuous drawing, but are shown in two drawings for the sake of space.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, first, when the vehicle leaves the home H and starts traveling, the driver information is transmitted to the management server 11 in step A <b> 1 in the vehicle-mounted device 2. In step A <b> 2, the vehicle position information of the vehicle is transmitted to the management server 11. In management server 11, if driver information is received from onboard equipment 2 in Step B1, a driver will be specified in Step B2. At the same time, when the vehicle position information of the vehicle is received at step B3, the company C, which is the destination of the driver, is estimated at step B4. Estimate whether.

If it is estimated that the driver's routine trip has occurred, and there is a passenger in the vehicle, the vehicle-mounted device 2 transmits information on the child who is the passenger to the management server 11 in the next step A3. Is done. At the same time, the vehicle position information of the vehicle is transmitted at step A4. In the management server 11, when the passenger information is received from the vehicle-mounted device 2 in step B6, the passenger is specified in step B7. At the same time, when the vehicle position information of the vehicle is received in step B8, the passenger's destination information, that is, information on the kindergarten P, which is the stop-off destination, is acquired in step B9. The route search to kindergarten P, which is the destination, is performed.

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

In the vehicle-mounted device 2, when notification information is received from the management server 11 at step A5, notification information to the driver is notified at step A6. As described above, the notification information is displayed on the meter display, the head-up display, or the navigation display as passenger information, such as a child's face photograph or face illustration. You may also perform voice alerting, for example, guidance to a stop-by destination by synthetic speech. Thus, the driver is informed that the child is on board, that is, that there is a stop-by destination by obtaining the notification information, and can reaffirm that he is heading to the stop-off destination.

When the notification information is notified in the vehicle-mounted device 2, the process ends. However, if the driver deviates from the route to the searched passenger's destination, that is, the kindergarten P, and a reroute is necessary, the vehicle position information is further obtained from the vehicle-mounted device 2 in step A7. 11 is transmitted. In the management server 11, when the vehicle position information is received in step B14, the route search to the passenger's destination 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 notified that the stop destination exists by receiving notification information from the vehicle-mounted device 2, and heads for the stop destination. Can be conscious again. In this case, the notification information is provided to the driver not during the departure of the vehicle but during the traveling of the vehicle. As a result, according to the present embodiment, when there is a destination to be stopped that is different from usual for the driver in traveling of the vehicle, it is possible to effectively notify the driver that there is a stop destination. There is an effect.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the route end point calculation unit 17 calculates a route from the current location of the vehicle to the stopover destination, and compares the calculated route with the route of the routine trip, and there is an overlapping route. The end point of the overlapping portion is specified, and the notification timing is set before the end point. This makes it possible for the driver to leave the route to the stop destination before the branch to the stop destination even if he or she forgets to go to the stop destination due to routine trips. The notification information can be notified before. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from making a detour while leaving the appropriate route to the stop destination while prompting the driver to go to the stop destination.

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 routinely performed in consideration of at least the boarding time zone and the day of the week. It was configured as follows. The behavior pattern when the user moves with the vehicle is often determined by the day of the week, and more often by the time zone. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether or not the routine trip is performed on a daily basis with considerable certainty by narrowing down at least two conditions of the boarding time zone and the day of the week.

In the present embodiment, the accompanying information includes information related to getting on and off the passenger of the vehicle, and the passenger destination estimation unit 16 is configured to use the place where the passenger gets on and off as a stopover destination. According to this, it becomes effective when, for example, a child is sent to a kindergarten as a passenger, and “unintentional misplacement of the child in the car” can be effectively prevented. In particular, it is configured to automatically determine a place where the passenger gets on and off without performing an input operation or the like as a stopover destination. Thereby, a user's effort is saved and it becomes more effective.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the alerting | reporting part 3 of the onboard equipment 2 was comprised so that information, such as a passenger's face photograph, could be displayed as alerting | reporting information on a meter display, a head-up display, or a display for navigation. Thus, only the passenger information is displayed, and the driver is not instructed to perform a predetermined action, so that the driver can be prevented from feeling troublesome.

<Second Embodiment, Other Embodiments>
8 and 9 show the second embodiment, and the differences from the first embodiment are as follows. In other words, in this embodiment, instead of using the passenger's destination as the stop-off destination, the accompanying information includes information on the goods or services that the driver gives and receives, and the place where the goods or services are sent and received is called It is considered a destination. Here, a specific example is a case where the driver stops at a cleaning shop as a stop-off destination and receives or deposits clothes on the way from the company to his / her home. At this time, the driver, that is, the user has registered in advance in the schedule information 22 that he / she wants to stop at the cleaning shop on the way home to receive clothes.

FIGS. 8 and 9 are sequence diagrams showing communication and processing procedures performed by the vehicle-mounted device 2 and the management server 11. In this case as well, these FIGS. 8 and 9 are originally one continuous drawing, but are divided into two drawings for the sake of space. That is, in FIG. 8, first, when the vehicle leaves the company C and starts running, the in-vehicle device 2 transmits driver information 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.

In the management server 11, when the driver information is received 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 in step B25, whether or not the driver's usual travel route R, that is, a routine trip. Is estimated. If the driver's routine trip is estimated, the driver's schedule information 22 is acquired in the next step B26, whereby it is detected in step S27 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, the management server 11 obtains the overlapping route O between the routine trip route R of the driver and the calculated route to the cleaning shop in step B29, and the end point T is calculated. Is 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. When the current position of the vehicle approaches the vicinity of the end point T (Yes in Step B30), notification information is transmitted toward 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 at step A23, the notification information to the driver is notified at step A24. The notification of the notification information is displayed on the meter display, the head-up display, or the navigation display, for example, indicating that it is necessary to stop at the cleaning shop as notification information. You may also perform voice alerting, for example, guidance to a stop-by destination by synthetic speech. Thus, the driver is informed that there is an event to stop by the cleaning shop by obtaining the notification information, and can reaffirm that he is heading to the stop destination.

When the notification information is notified in the vehicle-mounted device 2, the process ends. However, if the driver leaves the searched stop destination, that is, the cleaning shop P and needs to be rerouted, in step A25, the vehicle position information is further obtained from the vehicle-mounted device 2 in the management server 11. Sent to. In the management server 11, when the vehicle position information is received in step B32, the route search to the stop 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 a destination that should be different from the usual for the driver during traveling of the vehicle, it is possible to effectively notify the driver that there is a destination for stopping. As a result, it is possible to prevent the driver from forgetting to stop and traveling when it is necessary to stop at a place where goods or services are exchanged.

In addition to cleaning shops, the destinations for receiving and receiving goods and services include books borrowed at libraries, DVD return to rental shops, letter posting, shopping, receiving prescription drugs at pharmacies, and destinations. A variety of places such as reminders to ta-shops can be used as stopover destinations. Also in the first embodiment, the stop destination that is the destination of the passenger may be obtained from the schedule information.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the vehicle information providing system is configured as a system including a management server and the vehicle-mounted device. However, as the vehicle information providing system, a system that includes a necessary configuration on the vehicle-mounted device side and does not include a server. It is also possible. Furthermore, although not shown, in addition to the above-described embodiments, the following modifications can be made. That is, when it is determined that the vehicle is traveling in a lane that is not a lane toward the stop destination when there is a branch road ahead of the travel route of the vehicle, the notification unit 3 of the vehicle-mounted device 2 informs that You may comprise so that alerting | reporting may be performed. According to this, even if the driver is inadvertently forgotten, it can be notified before going on the wrong route, and it can be prevented that the driver makes a detour when going to the stopover destination.

Further, as long as a predetermined stop operation is not performed on the vehicle-mounted device 2, a snooze function for repeatedly providing notification information by the notification unit 3 may be provided. According to this, the provision of the notification information is repeated, which is more effective in preventing the driver from inadvertently forgetting. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, various modifications can be made to the hardware configuration of the vehicle-mounted device and the management server.

Although the present disclosure has been described based on the embodiments, it is understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments and structures. The present disclosure includes various modifications and modifications within the equivalent range. In addition, various combinations and forms, as well as other combinations and forms including only one element, more or less, are within the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.
