The driving score is evaluated such that the driving score becomes smaller as any one of the values is larger. The driving score determination unit 405 may determine the driving score by the same evaluation as the known eco-drive evaluation method.

The privilege granting unit 407 determines whether each of the accumulated value of the moving cost, the number of times of the detour route, and the driving score satisfies predetermined conditions (FIG. 7B / STEP 414). For example, the privilege granting unit 407 determines whether or not the cumulative value of the movement score is equal to or more than a predetermined value, whether or not the number of times of the detour route is equal to or more than a predetermined number, and whether or not the driving score is equal to or more than a predetermined score threshold Is determined. The privilege granting unit 407 may determine whether each of the traveling cost per driving, the presence or absence of a detour route, and the driving score satisfies predetermined conditions.

If the determination result is affirmative (FIG. 7B / STEP 414 ‥ YES), the privilege providing unit 407 refers to the profile 414 and provides the user ID associated with the processing target vehicle ID and the information indicating the privilege to the privilege. It is added to the information history 416 (FIG. 7B / STEP 414).

情報 The information indicating the privilege is, for example, points, coupons, etc. used when enjoying discounts or services at a specific store. The information may be information (for example, a code for enjoying a privilege) for enjoying services other than stores, such as a reserved seat in public transportation, priority boarding on an aircraft, and a luggage delivery service. The present invention is not limited to actual stores, and points and coupons at virtual stores on the Internet may be used. In addition, the privilege granting unit 407 may grant an item such as a property or costume to the avatar associated with the user ID. Further, a privilege on the road, such as a right to pass through a priority lane (carpool lane) or a parking meter use ticket, may be obtained depending on points.

The privilege granting unit 407 may refer to the position history 411 to recognize the position where the processing target vehicle ID has passed or stopped, and may grant the privilege according to the position.

特典 Also, the privilege granting unit 407 may refer to the profile 414 and grant a privilege corresponding to the attribute or preference associated with the user ID.

For example, when the preference associated with the user ID indicated in the profile 414 is “liquor”, the privilege granting unit 407 selects one of the items corresponding to drinking (for example, the item tagged with “liquor”). Alternatively, an item corresponding to a facility or location that the vehicle to be processed has recently visited (an item to which a tag related to the facility or location is attached) may be assigned to the avatar of the user ID.

In this way, by giving a privilege corresponding to the attribute, preference, and behavior of the user to be processed, the user to be processed can be made to feel fulfilled, and the user to be processed can acquire a privilege for obtaining the privilege. Can encourage action.

For example, at the beginning when the user to be processed starts using the present system, the screen M1 as shown in FIG. 8A is displayed on the vehicle-mounted device 1 associated with the vehicle ID to be processed or the portable wireless device associated with the user ID. It is assumed that it is displayed on the terminal 2. This screen M1 only includes the avatar image M11 associated with the user ID, and does not include any particular items.

8) As the user to be processed continues to use the present system, for example, a screen M2 as shown in FIG. Such a screen may be shared with the user's friends and acquaintances in a community (SNS) on the Internet. By sharing the degree of social contribution, it is expected that Maslow's desire for self-esteem (approval) in the hierarchy of needs hierarchy will be satisfied, leading to a further improvement in user satisfaction.

The screen M2 includes an avatar image M21 associated with the user ID of the user to be processed, and images M22 to M26 indicating avatar items. The images M22 to M26 showing the respective items correspond to the attributes or preferences of the user and are the items corresponding to the position visited by the user.

アイテム By displaying such an item, the user to be processed can enjoy a sense of fulfillment.

Returning to the description of FIG. 7B, the privilege providing unit 407 transmits the privilege information indicating the privilege to the processing target vehicle X or the mobile radio terminal 2 of the processing target user (FIG. 7B / STEP 418). The privilege information can be output to the output unit 14 of the vehicle-mounted device 1 or the output unit 24 of the portable wireless terminal 2. When the privilege information is a point or a coupon, for example, the user causes the store staff to browse the privilege information indicated on the mobile wireless terminal 2. The store clerk can check whether the privilege information can be used, for example, by transmitting the privilege information to the server 4 via the facility terminal 5.

When the determination result in FIG. 7B / STEP 414 is negative (FIG. 7B / STEP 414４NO), the privilege giving unit 407 determines whether two of the three conditions are satisfied (FIG. 7B). / STEP420).

If the determination result is affirmative (FIG. 7B / STEP 420 ‥ YES), the privilege granting unit 407 sends information indicating that the privilege can be enjoyed if the remaining one condition is satisfied, to the vehicle X or the portable wireless terminal 2 to be processed. (FIG. 7B / STEP 422). For example, when it is determined that the two conditions of the traveling cost condition and the detour route condition are satisfied, the privilege granting unit 407 processes the information indicating that the privilege can be enjoyed if the driving score condition is satisfied. X or to the portable wireless terminal 2. The vehicle-mounted device 1 or the portable wireless terminal 2 of the vehicle X that has received these information outputs the information to the output unit 14 or the output unit 24.

{After the processing in FIG. 7B / STEP 418 or FIG. 7B / STEP 422, or when the determination result in FIG. 7B / STEP 420 is negative (FIG. 7B / STEP 420 NO), the privilege granting unit 407 ends the privilege granting processing.

(Operation and effect of the present embodiment)
According to the server 4 having this configuration, not only the result of the selection of the detour route determined by the detour route determination unit 406 but also the travel cost recognized by the cost recognition unit 404 and the driving score determined by the driving score determination unit 405 are calculated. In addition, the user is given a privilege (FIG. 7B / STEP 414 to FIG. 7B / STEP 416).

When traveling on the detour route, the travel cost generally tends to increase. However, by taking this travel cost into account and giving a privilege to the user, the inconvenience that can be given to the user by passing through the detour route is increased. Can be reduced or eliminated.

As described above, according to the server 4 of the present invention, even when the user is prompted to avoid congestion, it is possible to reduce or eliminate the annoyance given to the user and to prompt the user to drive carefully.

According to the server 4, the privilege is granted by the privilege granting unit 407 on condition that the cumulative value of the travel cost is equal to or more than a predetermined cost threshold (FIG. 7B / STEP414４YES) (FIG. 7B). / STEP416).

(4) If the user is urged to travel on a detour route (alternate route), an increase in travel cost is expected. Therefore, by traveling on the detour route, it becomes easier for the user to satisfy conditions relating to travel cost.

According to the server 4 having the above configuration, the bypass route information is information indicating a route that can be visited to the facility. Thus, the user can be encouraged to visit the facility. As a result, the facility is provided with an advantage that it is possible to obtain a good user who is aware of congestion avoidance and careful driving.

According to the server 4 having the above configuration, the privilege corresponding to the information of the position information recognition unit 401 is provided by the benefit providing unit 407. Thereby, the pleasure of moving can be given to the user.

According to the server 4 having the above configuration, when two of the three conditions satisfy the condition and the remaining one does not satisfy the condition (FIG. 7B / STEP420 ‥ YES), the information urging the satisfaction of the remaining one condition is provided. It is output to the output units 14 and 24 of the vehicle X or the portable wireless terminal 2 (FIG. 7B / STEP 422). Thus, the user can be conscious of driving in a well-balanced manner.

(Modification)
The detour route determination unit 406 may recognize, as a detour route, a route that returns to the originally planned route after visiting a facility that performs activities such as eating until traffic congestion is resolved.

The detour route determination unit 406 refers to the position history 411 and the facility information 418, recognizes a facility that the processing target user has visited a certain number of times or more, or a certain number of times, and recognizes a route passing through the facility. Good.

The privilege granting unit 407 may be configured to grant a privilege according to the moving cost, the driving score, and the presence or absence of the detour route at the time of the latest one travel.
