Description

Information processing device and information processing method

The present invention relates to an information processing device and an information processing method.

Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for determining a driver's driving proficiency level based on information collected from a vehicle. The determination result of the driving proficiency level is used for automobile insurance estimates, used car appraisals, and the like.

Japanese Patent No. 5889761

With the spread of SNS (Social Networking Service), etc., people with common interests are actively interacting with each other, and it is not uncommon for riders of saddle-riding vehicles to participate in such communities. A rider's profile can be an opportunity to interact with other riders or become a topic of conversation, but a rider's experience and skills are particularly useful in forming and deepening a community. However, once an index such as the driving proficiency level of Patent Document 1 is set, it hardly changes and does not continue to be a hot topic. In addition, since there is little change, it is difficult to motivate riders to travel, and as a result of a decrease in the frequency of travel, opportunities to participate in the community also decrease.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rider's index that is useful for motivating continuous topic creation and riding.

According to the invention, for example,
Acquisition means for acquiring information about the travel history of the rider of the straddle-type vehicle;
setting means for setting points to be given to the rider based on the information;
updating means for updating the driving experience level of the rider based on the accumulated points of the points given to the rider;
An information processing apparatus characterized by:

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a rider's index that is useful for continuous topic creation and motivation for riding.

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the invention. Two or more of the features described in the embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. Also, the same or similar configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are omitted.

<First embodiment>
<Overview of the system>
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an information providing system 1. As shown in FIG. A system 1 is a system in which an information processing device 2 functioning as a server provides an SNS that can be used by many users 3 on a communication network such as the Internet. The information processing device 2 provides, for example, pages of individual users 3, bulletin boards that can be used by the users 3, and the like. The user 3 is basically a rider of the straddle-type vehicle 5, but may include a person who has a hobby of the straddle-type vehicle 5, such as a person who is considering purchasing a straddle-type vehicle. The straddle-type vehicle 5 is typically a motorcycle, such as an engine-driven two-wheeled vehicle or an electric two-wheeled vehicle. The user 3 can use the mobile terminal 4 to participate in the SNS provided by the information processing device 2 . The mobile terminal 4 is, for example, a smart phone, and can communicate with the information processing device 2 via a communication network.

<Overview of Certification of Driving Experience Level>
In SNS, interaction is promoted by the profile of each user 3 . In this embodiment, the information processing device 2 certifies the driving experience level of the user 3 and registers it in the profile of each user 3 . It is possible to estimate the experience of each user 3 with the saddle-ride type vehicle 5 based on the driving experience level, and this serves as a trigger for interaction between the users 3 . The certified driving experience level is not a fixed level, but updated according to the distance traveled by the user 3 on the straddle-type vehicle 5 . When the driving experience level is updated, this becomes a topic, and the conversation between the users 3 about the driving route and the events at that time progresses. In addition, since the driving experience level is updated, it motivates the user 3 to drive in order to increase the driving experience level.

Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of driving experience level certification. The user 3A travels in his or her straddle-type vehicle 5 and sends the travel history from the portable terminal 4 to the information processing device 2. FIG. The travel history includes detection results of the sensors of the saddle-riding vehicle 5 during travel, which proves actual travel. The information processing device 2 updates the driving experience level of the user 3A, and the updated driving experience level is reflected in the profile of the user 3A. Another user 3B who sees user 3A's profile sees user 3A's level of driving experience and is interested in interacting with user 3A. In this way, the driving experience level serves as an opportunity for interaction between the users 3 and for creating topics. Furthermore, the user 3 increases the chances of traveling in the straddle-type vehicle 5 in order to attract the attention of other users 3 and improve his own level of traveling experience in order to improve his own satisfaction. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the riding experience level as a rider index that is useful for continuously creating topics and motivating riders to travel.

<Configuration example of information processing device>

In addition to the programs executed by the processing unit 21, the storage unit 22 stores various data. Various types of data include an SNS database 221 and a database 222 storing information on each user 3 . In the database 222, information such as profile information of each user 3 is accumulated. User 3 registers various information in advance to receive the service of system 1 , and the information is stored in database 222 . Level information 222 a is stored in the database 222 as information for managing the driving experience level of each user 3 . The level information 222a includes an "ID" that identifies each user 3, and the user's 3 "driving experience level", "accumulated points" and "other information". When certifying the driving experience level, in the present embodiment, points corresponding to the distance traveled are given to the user 3, and the driving experience level is updated so that the level increases as the accumulated points increase. The driving experience level and accumulated points will only be added and will not be subtracted. Points are basically proportional to the increase in mileage, but by adopting a point system instead of the mileage itself, it is possible to certify the driving experience level by considering other factors. Various types of information received from the mobile terminal 4 are accumulated in "other information".

<Configuration example of mobile terminal and vehicle control unit>

<Processing example>
An example of the processing of the system 1 when the user 3 applies for the driving experience level will be described. FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed by the processing unit 41 of the portable terminal 4, which is executed when the user 3 activates an application program regarding certification of the driving experience level.

In S1, it is determined whether or not the user 3 has instructed to start recording the travel history. As described above, the travel experience level of the present embodiment is based on the travel distance of the straddle-type vehicle 5 . The user 3 launches this program when the saddle-ride type vehicle 5 starts running, instructs the start of recording of the travel history, and carries the mobile terminal 4, or mounts the mobile terminal 4 on the saddle-ride type vehicle 5. Then, the saddle type vehicle 5 is driven. FIG. 6A shows a display example of the display unit 44 of the mobile terminal 4. FIG. The user 3 can instruct the start by touching the start button 44a. If it is determined in S1 that an instruction to start recording has been issued, the process proceeds to S2.

In S2, the current date and time is saved in the storage unit 42 as the running start date and time. In S3 and S4, information for confirming the travel distance and actual travel is collected. These processes are performed periodically until the end of the run. In S3, the GNSS sensor 46a acquires the current position information of the user 3 (straddle-type vehicle 5) and stores it in the storage unit 42. FIG. By collecting the current position information in chronological order, it is possible to calculate the driving route and driving distance. In S4, the detection result of the sensor group 54 is obtained through communication with the control unit 50 of the straddle-type vehicle 5. FIG. By acquiring the detection result of the sensor group 54, it is possible to confirm that the vehicle is actually traveling.

Acceleration/deceleration and roll of the straddle-type vehicle 5 can be confirmed by the inertia sensor 55 . In particular, the straddle-type vehicle 5 has a large roll (bank) during turning. Therefore, the detection result proves that the user 3 actually traveled in the straddle-type vehicle 5 . With the operation detection sensor 56, it can be confirmed that the straddle-type vehicle 5 has been accelerated or braked. The operation frequency in a section of a certain travel route or travel distance proves that the user 3 has actually traveled in the straddle-type vehicle 5 . The vehicle speed sensor 57 allows the vehicle speed of the straddle-type vehicle 5 to be confirmed and the traveling distance to be compared with the average vehicle speed. If the average vehicle speed is mediocre, it proves that the user 3 actually traveled in the straddle-type vehicle 5 .

Note that in S4, in addition to or instead of the detection results of the sensor group 54 of the straddle-type vehicle 5, the detection results of the sensors provided in the mobile terminal 4 may be saved and utilized. For example, the inertia sensor 46b can be used as a sensor for detecting the roll (bank) of the straddle-type vehicle 5 when it turns.

In S5, it is determined whether or not the user 3 has instructed to end the recording of the travel history. FIG. 6B shows a display example of the display unit 44 of the mobile terminal 4. As shown in FIG. The user 3 can instruct the end by touching the run end button 44b. If it is determined in S5 that the end of recording has been instructed, the process proceeds to S6. If not, the process returns to S3 to collect position information and detection information (S3, S4).

In S6, the current date and time is saved in the storage unit 42 as the travel end date and time. In S7, travel history information is created as information for application of the travel experience level. The travel history information includes the travel start/end date and time (S2, S6) of the current travel, the position information collected in S3 and S4, and the detection information. The positional information and detection information may be converted into predetermined information that can be easily used by the information processing device 2 . The information after conversion includes the travel distance, travel start position and travel end position, occurrence and frequency of rolling of the straddle-type vehicle 5 at a predetermined angle or more, or the point thereof, frequency of operation of the straddle-type vehicle 5, or operation point, and on the way. vehicle speed and the like at a plurality of locations of . In S7, level application processing is performed. FIG. 7 shows an example of processing between the processing unit 41 of the mobile terminal 4 and the processing unit 21 of the information processing device 2 in level application processing.

At S11, the portable terminal 4 transmits the travel history information generated at S7 to the information processing device 2. In S<b>21 , the information processing device 2 acquires (receives) travel history information from the mobile terminal 4 . In S22, the information processing device 2 performs actual running confirmation processing. Here, along with specifying the travel distance from each position information of the acquired travel history information, it is confirmed whether or not it is the travel distance actually traveled by the straddle-type vehicle 5 . The detection information collected in S4 can be used for confirmation. That is, as the information after conversion, the occurrence and frequency of rolling of the saddle-riding vehicle 5 by a predetermined angle or more, or the point thereof, the operation frequency or operation points of the saddle-riding vehicle 5, and a plurality of points on the way It is possible to confirm whether or not the vehicle is actually running by the vehicle speed, etc. of the vehicle. If the occurrence of a roll with a predetermined angle or more cannot be confirmed even once, or if the frequency with respect to the travel distance is lower than the threshold (extremely low), it can be determined that the vehicle is not actually traveling. Also, if the operation frequency of the straddle-type vehicle 5 with respect to the traveled distance is lower than the threshold (extremely low), or if the distance between operation points is longer than the threshold (remarkably long), it is determined that the vehicle is not actually traveling. be able to. Also, if the vehicle speed is lower than the threshold value (if the vehicle is stopped) but the current position has changed, it can be determined that the vehicle is not actually traveling.

In S23, the information processing device 2 determines whether or not the travel distance related to the current application is a distance based on actual travel as a result of the actual travel confirmation processing in S22. If it is determined that it is not, the process proceeds to S24.

In addition, in this embodiment, it is confirmed whether or not it is actual driving for each application. However, a method may be used in which a portion of the travel distance is determined to be actual travel and valid, and the remaining travel distance is not actual travel and is determined to be invalid.

In S24, the information processing device 2 notifies the mobile terminal 4 that the application has not been approved. The mobile terminal 4 receives the notification in S12, and displays the content of the notification on the display unit 44 in S13. User 3 can be notified that the level application has not been approved.

In S25, the information processing device 2 sets points to be given to the user 3 for this level application. The points are calculated by, for example, points=running distance×coefficient. In S26, the accumulated points accumulated in the level information 222a of the user 3 who applied for the level are updated by adding the points given this time, and the accumulated points after the addition exceed the threshold for raising the driving experience level. Determine whether or not. If the accumulated points after addition are less than the threshold, the process proceeds to S27, and if the accumulated points are equal to or greater than the threshold, the process proceeds to S28.

Fig. 8 shows an example of the relationship between cumulative points and driving experience levels. User 3 is initially set to a level 1 driving experience level. If you accumulate 51 points or more, you will be promoted to Level 2. When the accumulated points reach 111 or more, you will be promoted to level 3. In the illustrated example, as the driving experience level increases, the number of accumulated points between levels also increases, and the difficulty of upgrading the driving experience level increases. Rarity can be given to high driving experience levels. The threshold used in the determination of S26 is set according to the current driving experience level of the user 3 .

Returning to FIG. 7, in S27, the information processing device 2 notifies the portable terminal 4 of the earned points given to the user 3 although the driving experience level has not been updated due to this application. The mobile terminal 4 receives the notification in S14, and displays the content of the notification on the display unit 44 in S15. It is possible to notify that the user 3 has not leveled up but that he/she has earned points.

In S28, the information processing device 2 updates the driving experience level of the user 3. In the example of FIG. 8, for example, when the accumulated points of user 3 reaches 51, the driving experience level is updated from level 1 to level 2. In S29, the information processing device 2 registers the profile of the user 3 accumulated in the database 222 and the driving experience level of the level information 222a as the updated level. In S<b>30 , the information processing device 2 notifies the portable terminal 4 of the certified updated driving experience level. The mobile terminal 4 receives the notification in S16, and displays the content of the notification on the display unit 44 in S17. The user 3 can be notified that the driving experience level has increased.

<Second embodiment>
In the first embodiment, as a method of setting points in S25, an arithmetic expression of points=running distance×coefficient was exemplified, but the user 3 drives the straddle-type vehicle 5 under various conditions. Therefore, points may be set by weighting with elements other than the travel distance. In this case, the points can be set by, for example, points=running distance*coefficient*weighting coefficient. 9A-9F show examples of weighting elements and coefficients. The minimum value of the weighting factor is 1, and the weighting does not reduce the points. If multiple weighting factors are used, for example, points=mileage*factor*weighting factor 1*weighting factor 2 . . . Points can be calculated as

FIG. 9A shows an example of setting the weighting factor based on the running frequency, and the weighting factor is set so that more points are given to the user who runs more frequently than the user 3 who runs less frequently. . It can be said that the user 3, who travels frequently, has a lot of travel experience even if the travel distance is short. Therefore, such a user 3 is likely to be certified with a higher driving experience level. The running frequency can be, for example, the number of times of running in a predetermined calculation period (for example, one week). good. Information on the frequency of travel may be managed on the information processing device 2 side, or may be managed on the mobile terminal 4 side. When managed by the information processing device 2, the number of times of application within the calculation period is counted as the number of times of running, and stored as "other information" in the level information 222a. may When managed by the mobile terminal 4 side, the information processing device 2 may acquire the number of times of running within the calculation period by counting the number of times of running and including it in the running history information transmitted in S11.

FIG. 9B shows an example of setting a weighting factor based on the safety of the driving mode of user 3, and more points are given to user 3 who is driving safely than user 3 who is rough driving. The weighting factors are set as follows. It can be said that the user 3 who drives safely has a lot of driving experience. Therefore, such users 3 are likely to be certified with a higher driving experience level. Safety can be determined from the detection results of the inertial sensor 55 and the vehicle speed sensor 57 during running. For example, if the number of sudden accelerations and sudden brakes is small, or if the maximum vehicle speed is low, it can be determined that the safety is high. The determination of safety may be performed on the mobile terminal 4 side or may be performed on the information processing device 2 side. When the mobile terminal 4 makes the determination, the information processing apparatus 2 may acquire the safety information, which is the determination result, by including it in the travel history information transmitted in S11. If the information processing device 2 performs this, the detection results of the inertial sensor 55, the vehicle speed sensor 57, etc. may be acquired as safety information when points are awarded. A safety index may be calculated from each detection result of the vehicle speed sensor 57, etc., stored as safety information in the level information 222a as "other information", and may be read out and acquired when points are awarded.

FIG. 9C shows an example of setting the weighting factors based on the information on the driver's license of the user 3. The user 3 has a small history of accidents and violations, and there are many types of straddle-type vehicles 5 that can be driven (for example, normal A weighting factor is set so that more points are awarded to User 3 (both cars and large vehicles). Information on the driver's license may be held in the portable terminal 4 and acquired by the information processing device 2 by including it in the travel history information transmitted in S11, or registered in advance in the database 222 and stored in the information processing device. 2 may be obtained from database 222 .

FIG. 9D shows an example of setting the weighting factor based on the type of road traveled by the user 3 in the straddle-type vehicle 5. More points are given to the user 3 who traveled on a difficult road. A weighting factor is set as given. The illustrated example illustrates an example in which the weighting factor is set so that more points are given when traveling on mountain roads and forest roads. However, other types of travel roads can be classified into paved roads, unpaved roads, gravel roads, roads with many dents, and the like.

The type of travel route can be specified from the travel point and map information. The map information as information on the travel route can be obtained from a map information providing server that can be communicated with via a communication network. The determination of the type of road may be performed on the mobile terminal 4 side or may be performed on the information processing device 2 side. When the information processing device 2 performs this, the position information (or travel route information) included in the travel history information may be used.

FIG. 9E shows an example in which the weighting factor is set depending on whether user 3 travels alone or in two-seater mode. In the case of two-seater travel, more points are given because driving skills are required. The weighting factors are set so that The saddle-ride type vehicle 5 is provided with a sensor for detecting the occupant in the tandem seat to detect whether the vehicle is traveling alone or as a two-seater. Then, the information processing apparatus 2 may acquire the detection result by the portable terminal 4 and include it in the travel history information transmitted in S11.

FIG. 9F shows an example of setting the weighting factor based on the weather when the user 3 travels in the straddle-type vehicle 5. If the weather is bad, more points are given because driving skills are required. The weighting factors are set so that In the illustrated example, the weighting factor is set so that more points are given when the wind is strong, when the temperature is low (the road surface may freeze), or when it rains (the road surface is slippery). An example is illustrated.

The weather during driving can be specified from the date and time, driving location and weather information. Weather information can be obtained from a weather information providing server that can communicate via a communication network. The determination of the weather during running may be performed on the mobile terminal 4 side, or may be performed on the information processing device 2 side. When the information processing device 2 performs this, the location information (or travel route information) and date/time information included in the travel history information may be used.

<Third Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, the detection information collected in S4 is used in the actual running confirmation process in S22. and shooting location. From information such as the background reflected in the image, it is possible to more reliably confirm that the user 3 actually traveled on the straddle-type vehicle 5 . FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B are explanatory diagrams showing an example of actual running confirmation using a photographed image.

FIG. 10A shows a display example displayed on the display unit 44 of the mobile terminal 4 after S6 in FIG. 5 in this embodiment. In the example of FIG. 1, the user 3 is prompted to take a picture of a saddle-riding vehicle (motorcycle) 5 and a background that shows the location. A shooting button 44c is displayed. The user 3 prepares to photograph the saddle-riding vehicle 5 together with scenery, facilities, signboards, road information signs, block display boards, etc. known at that point, and touches the shooting button 44c. An image is thereby captured by the capturing unit 45 . FIG. 10B is an example of photographing information, and the photographing information includes the photographed image IM and its position information PD. In the illustrated example, the photographed image IM shows the saddle-ride type vehicle 5 and the guide sign of the road. The position information PD is the current position of the mobile terminal 4 when the end of recording of the travel history is instructed.

The shooting information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 4 to the information processing device 2 in S11 together with the travel history information. In the actual running confirmation process of S22, the information processing device 2 collects images of the surrounding area from the map information providing server or the like based on the position information PD, and checks whether there is any similarity to the background image in the captured image IM. judge. For example, artificial intelligence may be used to determine the degree of similarity. If an image with a high degree of similarity can be found, the mileage related to this application shall be judged to be the distance based on actual driving. can be done. As another determination method, characters (place names, etc.) included in the background image in the photographed image IM are extracted, and if there is a relationship between the extracted characters and the area indicated by the position information PD (matching of place names, etc.) , can be determined to be actual running. If it is determined that the vehicle is not actually traveling, a notification may be sent to the mobile terminal 4 to prompt the user 3 to take another image.

<Fourth embodiment>
The driving experience level may be divided into multiple types of levels and a comprehensive level. FIG. 11 shows an example thereof. In the illustrated example, a paved road level, a rough road level, and a total level are exemplified. The paved road level is the driving experience level related to driving the straddle-type vehicle 5 on paved roads, and the rough road level is the driving experience level related to driving the straddle-type vehicle 5 on rough roads such as unpaved roads, mountain roads, and forest roads. is. The total level is the total level of these two types of levels. Both levels are information posted on profiles.

The method of calculating the paved road level and rough road level is the same as in the first embodiment. If it is a paved road level, points are set based on the traveling distance on the paved road, and the driving experience level is updated by the accumulated points. If the road level is rough, points are set based on the distance traveled on an unpaved road or the like, and the travel experience level is updated with the accumulated points.

The type of travel route can be specified from the travel point and the map information, as described in the example of FIG. 9D. The map information can be obtained from a map information providing server that can communicate via a communication network. The determination of the type of road may be performed on the mobile terminal 4 side or may be performed on the information processing device 2 side. When the information processing device 2 performs this, the position information (or travel route information) included in the travel history information may be used. It is also possible to combine this embodiment and the second embodiment. In this case, it goes without saying that weighting based on the types of roads illustrated in FIG. 9D is not performed.

According to this embodiment, since the type of road and the driving experience of the user 3 are distinguished, it is possible to attract the interest of other users 3 on the SNS. For example, it becomes an opportunity for interaction between the users 3 who like to travel on rough roads, and creates topics.
