[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 It is a diagram showing a structural example of an information processing system 100 including an information processing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1 In the shown information processing system 100, the information processing device 1, the server 2, the vehicle 3, and the portable device 4 held by the user of the vehicle 3 exchange information via the communication network 5, and various recommendation information is output from the information processing device 1 to the user.

[0010] As a functional structure of the information processing device 1, for example, it includes a communication unit 11, an acquisition unit 12, a storage unit 13, a judgment unit 14, and a recommendation unit 15. Although the hardware structure of the information processing device 1 is omitted here for illustration, it includes, for example, a computer system including a processor, a memory, a user input interface, and a communication interface. That is, in the information processing device 1, the processor of the computer system reads and executes the program stored in the memory, thereby realizing the functions of each module.

[0011] The acquisition unit 12 acquires the driving information of the vehicle 3 stored in the server 2 via the communication unit 11 and the communication network 5. The driving information of the vehicle 3 includes acceleration / deceleration operation information, air conditioner usage information, and charging history information.

[0012] The acceleration / deceleration operation information is information indicating the acceleration / deceleration operation status of the user (driver) of the vehicle 3. The acceleration / deceleration operation information in the present embodiment is information corresponding to the action of the driver operating the accelerator pedal (not shown) of the vehicle 3 to adjust the driving force of the drive device 31 (acceleration operation) and the action of the driver operating the brake pedal (not shown) of the vehicle 3 to adjust the braking force of the braking device 32 (braking operation).

[0013] The air conditioner usage information is information indicating the usage status such as the on / off, temperature setting, and air volume setting of the air conditioner device 33 mounted in the vehicle 3. The air conditioner device 33 is, for example, a vehicle air conditioner, a heater, etc.

[0014] The charging history information is information indicating the charging history of the battery 34 mounted in the vehicle 3. The battery 34 is, for example, a lithium ion battery. The charging history information also includes information on charging modes such as normal charging and rapid charging.

[0015] The acceleration / deceleration operation information, air conditioner usage information, and charging history information stored in the server 2 are information stored in association with the identification information (vehicle ID) of the vehicle 3 for the data (acceleration / deceleration data, air conditioner usage data, air conditioner setting data, and charging data) that will be transmitted from the communication device 35 of the vehicle 3 to the server 2 via the communication network 5 at a necessary timing, as described later. In addition, the communication network 5 includes, for example, the Internet, WAN (Wide Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network), provider devices, radio base stations, and the like.

[0016] That is, the acquisition unit 12 of the information processing device 1 transmits a signal requesting the driving information of the vehicle 3 to the server 2 via the communication unit 11 and the communication network 5. In response to the request from the information processing device 1, the server 2 transmits the acceleration / deceleration operation information, air conditioner usage information, and charging history information stored in association with the identification information of the vehicle 3 to the acquisition unit 12 via the communication network 5 and the communication unit 11. The acquisition unit 12 stores the driving information (acceleration / deceleration operation information, air conditioner usage information, and charging history information) of the vehicle 3 acquired from the server 2 in the storage unit 13 and passes it to the determination unit 14.

[0017] The determination unit 14 determines whether the vehicle 3 is performing energy-saving driving based on the driving information of the vehicle 3 from the acquisition unit 12. Energy-saving driving is a method of using a vehicle that takes into account reducing the load on the environment and represents a driving method and user's attentiveness that can reduce power (fuel) consumption and / or carbon dioxide emissions. In the present embodiment, the determination unit 14 infers the user's (driver's) intention related to the driving method (awareness of energy conservation) based on the acceleration / deceleration operation information. In addition, the determination unit 14 infers the user's intention related to the air conditioner usage method (awareness of energy conservation) based on the air conditioner usage information. Moreover, the determination unit 14 infers the user's intention related to the charging method (awareness of energy conservation) based on the charging history information. Then, the determination unit 14 comprehensively determines whether the vehicle 3 is performing energy-saving driving based on the respectively inferred user intentions. In addition, the specific determination method will be described later. The determination result of the determination unit 14 is passed to the advice unit 15.

[0018] When the determination unit 14 determines that the vehicle 3 is performing energy-saving driving, the recommendation unit 15 generates and outputs information for recommending to the user a battery degradation suppression control for suppressing the degradation of the battery 34 of the vehicle 3. The battery degradation suppression control is, for example, a battery temperature adjustment control for adjusting the temperature of the battery 34. Hereinafter, a case where the recommendation unit 15 outputs information for recommending the battery temperature adjustment control will be described. However, the battery degradation suppression control in the present invention is not limited to the battery temperature adjustment control.

[0019] Specifically, the recommendation unit 15 in the present embodiment generates recommendation information composed of characters, images, etc. for recommending the battery temperature adjustment control to the user in association with the identification information of the vehicle 3 determined by the determination unit 14 to be performing energy-saving driving. The recommendation information generated by the recommendation unit 15 is output to the communication unit 11. The communication unit 11 transmits the recommendation information from the recommendation unit 15 to the vehicle 3 or the portable device 4 via the communication network 5.

[0020] The vehicle 3 that has received the recommendation information from the information processing device 1 via the communication network 5 includes, in addition to the aforementioned drive device 31, brake device 32, air conditioning device 33, battery 34, and communication device 35, a display device 36 and a control device 37. The vehicle 3 in the present embodiment is, for example, an electric vehicle, but may also be a hybrid vehicle.

[0021] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the control device 37 installed in the vehicle 3 in the present embodiment. In Figure 2 it, the control device 37 includes a drive control unit 371, a brake control unit 372, an air conditioning control unit 373, a battery control unit 374, a data generation unit 375, and a display control unit 376.

[0022] The drive control unit 371 controls the driving force of the drive device 31 installed in the vehicle 3 according to the operation amount of the accelerator pedal by the user (driver) of the vehicle 3. The drive device 31 is an electric motor, an engine, or the like. The electric motor is driven by receiving power supply from the battery 34. The drive control unit 371 is configured to be able to output a signal indicating the operation state of the user on the accelerator pedal to the data generation unit 375.

[0023] The brake control unit 372 controls the braking force of the brake device 32 installed in the vehicle 3 according to the operation amount of the brake pedal by the user (driver) of the vehicle 3. The brake device 32 is a foot brake, a regenerative brake, an engine brake, or a parking brake, etc. The brake control unit 372 is configured to be able to output a signal indicating the operation state of the user on the brake pedal to the data generation unit 375.

[0024] The air-conditioning control unit 373 controls the operation of an air-conditioning device 33 such as a vehicle air conditioner or a heater installed in the vehicle 3 according to the operation status of an air-conditioning operation panel (not shown) provided in the vehicle 3. A user of the vehicle 3 performs operations such as switching the on / off of the air-conditioning device 33, setting the temperature and the air volume, and switching between the automatic mode and the manual mode on the air-conditioning operation panel. The air-conditioning control unit 373 is configured to be able to output a signal indicating the control status (on / off, temperature and air volume setting, etc.) of the air-conditioning device 33 to the data generation unit 375.

[0025] The battery control unit 374 controls the charging and discharging of a battery 34 installed in the vehicle 3. When an external charger (not shown) is connected to the charging interface of the battery 34, the battery control unit 374 controls the charging status of the battery 34 by communicating with the external charger. A temperature adjustment unit 34A capable of adjusting the temperature of the battery 34 is provided in the battery 34 in the present embodiment. The temperature adjustment unit 34A has, for example, an air-cooling device and a liquid-cooling device. The air-cooling device includes a fan that cools the battery 34 by blowing air to the battery 34, and the liquid-cooling device includes a heat carrier circuit that adjusts the temperature of the battery 34 by circulating a heat carrier in the battery 34. The battery control unit 374 in the present embodiment can also control the operation of the temperature adjustment unit 34A according to the setting of the battery temperature adjustment control. The battery control unit 374 is configured to be able to output a signal indicating the charging and discharging status of the battery 34 to the data generation unit 375.

[0026] The data generation unit 375 generates acceleration / deceleration operation data corresponding to the respective operation statuses of the user (driver) on the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal by using the respective output signals from the drive control unit 371 and the brake control unit 372. The change of the acceleration / deceleration operation data over time indicates how the user operates the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, that is, indicates the driving style (driving habit) of the user on the vehicle 3.

[0027] In addition, the data generation unit 375 generates air-conditioning usage data indicating the operation status (on / off) of the air-conditioning device 33 and air-conditioning setting data indicating the respective settings of the temperature and the air volume of the air-conditioning device 33 by using the output signal from the air-conditioning control unit 373. The change of the air-conditioning usage data and the air-conditioning setting data over time indicates how the user of the vehicle 3 uses the air-conditioning device 33.

[0028] Moreover, the data generation unit 375 generates charging data indicating the charging status of the battery 34 by using the output signal from the battery control unit 374. The charging data includes not only whether the battery 34 is being charged, but also information such as the remaining battery level of the battery 34 at the start of charging and the charging mode (normal charging, fast charging, etc.). The change of the charging data over time (charging history) indicates at what timing and in what mode the user of the vehicle 3 charges the battery 34.

[0029] As described above, the acceleration / deceleration operation data, air conditioner usage data, air conditioner setting data, and charging data generated by the data generation unit 375 are output to the communication device 35 of the vehicle 3. The communication device 35 transmits the output data of the data generation unit 375 to the server 2 via the communication network 5 ( Figure 1 ). The server 2 that has received the transmission data from the vehicle 3 generates acceleration / deceleration operation information by storing the acceleration / deceleration operation data in association with the identification information of the vehicle 3, generates air conditioner usage information by storing the air conditioner usage data and the air conditioner setting data in association with the identification information of the vehicle 3, and generates charging history information by storing the charging data in association with the identification information of the vehicle 3.

[0030] In addition, the communication device 35 of the vehicle 3 receives the advice information on the battery temperature adjustment control transmitted from the information processing device 1 to the communication network 5, and transmits the advice information corresponding to the identification information of the own vehicle in the advice information to the display control unit 376 of the control device 37 ( Figure 2 ).

[0031] The display control unit 376 controls the display state of the display device 36 mounted in the vehicle 3. The display device 36 is a display of a car navigation system or the like. The display control unit 376 displays characters, images, etc. for advising the battery temperature adjustment control on the display device 36 according to the advice information transmitted from the communication device 35. In addition, in this embodiment, an example in which the advice on the battery temperature adjustment control is displayed on the display device 36 of the vehicle 3 is described. However, when a display of a car navigation system or the like is not provided in the vehicle 3, the advice on the battery temperature adjustment control can be displayed on the portable device 4 ( Figure 1 ) held by the user of the vehicle 3.

[0032] The portable device 4 is a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like having a communication function capable of connecting to the communication network 5. An application program corresponding to the information processing device 1 is installed on the portable device 4, and the identification information of the vehicle 3 owned by the user of the portable device 4 is pre-registered in the application program.

[0033] Next, with reference to Figure 3 's flowchart, the operation of the information processing device 1 of this embodiment will be described in detail. In the information processing device 1 of this embodiment, first, in Figure 3 step S100, the acquisition unit 12 accesses the server 2 via the communication unit 11 and the communication network 5, and acquires the acceleration / deceleration operation information of the vehicle 3 stored in the server 2.

[0034] Then, in step S110, the determination unit 14 infers the intention of the user (driver) of the vehicle 3 regarding the driving method (awareness of energy conservation) based on the acceleration / deceleration operation information obtained in step S100. Specifically, for example, when the number of occurrences of emergency acceleration and emergency braking during a predetermined period (e.g., one month, etc.) indicated by the acceleration / deceleration operation information is below a predetermined value (e.g., three times or less, etc.), it can be inferred that the user's driving method is energy-conserving. This inference of the intention related to the user's driving method is preferably performed after the driving distance of the vehicle 3 has reached 3000 km since the start of use by this user. In this way, the accuracy of the intention inference related to the user's driving method can be improved.

[0035] In the next step S120, the acquisition unit 12 acquires the air conditioner usage information of the vehicle 3 stored in the server 2. Then, in step S130, the determination unit 14 infers the intention of the user of the vehicle 3 regarding the air conditioner usage method (awareness of energy conservation) based on the air conditioner usage information acquired in step S120. Specifically, for example, when the temperature setting in summer indicated by the air conditioner usage information is 28°C or higher, it can be inferred that the user's air conditioner usage method is energy-conserving. This inference of the intention related to the user's air conditioner usage method is preferably performed after one year has passed since the start of use by this user. In this way, the accuracy of the intention inference related to the user's air conditioner usage method can be improved.

[0036] In the next step S140, the acquisition unit 12 acquires the charging history information of the vehicle 3 stored in the server 2. Then, in step S150, the determination unit 14 infers the intention of the user of the vehicle 3 regarding the charging method (awareness of energy conservation) based on the charging history information acquired in step S140. Specifically, for example, when the number of times of starting charging within the range where the remaining battery level of the battery 34 is between 20% and 80% during a predetermined period (e.g., one month, etc.) indicated by the charging history information is above a predetermined value (e.g., three times or more, etc.), it can be inferred that the user's charging method is energy-conserving. This inference of the intention related to the user's charging method is preferably performed after the driving distance of the vehicle 3 has reached 3000 km since the start of use by this user. In this way, the accuracy of the intention inference related to the user's charging method can be improved.

[0037] In the next step S160, the determination unit 14 comprehensively determines whether the vehicle 3 is performing energy-saving driving based on the inference results in the above steps S110, S130, and S150. In the present embodiment, when at least one of the user's intentions related to the driving method, the intention related to the air conditioner usage method, and the intention related to the charging method is inferred as an energy-saving intention, it is determined that the vehicle 3 is performing energy-saving driving. In other cases, it is determined that the vehicle 3 is not performing energy-saving driving. When it is determined that the vehicle 3 is performing energy-saving driving ("Yes"), the process proceeds to the next step S170. On the other hand, when it is determined that the vehicle 3 is not performing energy-saving driving ("No"), the process returns to step S100 and the above series of processes are repeated.

[0038] In step S170, the advice unit 15 generates advice information composed of text, images, etc. for advising the user on battery temperature adjustment control in association with the identification information of the vehicle 3 determined to be performing energy-saving driving in step S160. This advice information includes, for example, text information such as "Performing energy-saving driving can extend the life of the battery. Do you want to perform better battery temperature management than the current one to extend the life of the battery?", and image information depicting a button with the word "Yes" and a button with the word "No".

[0039] The advice information generated by the advice unit 15 is output to the communication unit 11 and sent from the communication unit 11 to the vehicle 3 (or the portable device 4) via the communication network 5. In the vehicle 3, the advice information from the information processing device 1 is received by the communication device 35 and transmitted to the display control unit 376. As a result, the text and images (buttons) included in the advice information are displayed on the display device 36.

[0040] Figure 4 An example of the screen of the display device 36 showing the advice on battery temperature adjustment control through the process of step S170 is shown. The user of the vehicle 3 confirms the content of the advice displayed on the display device 36. If the user accepts the advice, the "Yes" button is touched. If the user does not accept the advice, the "No" button is touched. When the "Yes" or "No" button is touched, a signal representing its content is output from the display control unit 376 to the communication device 35 and sent to the information processing device 1 via the communication network 5.

[0041] In the next step S180 ( Figure 3), the suggestion unit 15 determines whether the user of the vehicle 3 has accepted the suggestion. If the user has accepted the suggestion, that is, a signal indicating that the "yes" button has been touched is sent from the vehicle 3 to the information processing device 1 via the communication network 5 ("yes"), the process proceeds to the next step S190. On the other hand, if the user has not accepted the suggestion, that is, a signal indicating that the "no" button has been touched is sent from the vehicle 3 to the information processing device 1 via the communication network 5 ("no"), the process returns to step S100 and the above series of processes are repeated.

[0042] In step S190, the suggestion unit 15 generates confirmation information indicating that the battery temperature control is set. The confirmation information includes, for example, text information such as "Battery temperature control is being set. If you want to continue setting, press the "Battery temperature control setting" button." and image information such as a button with the text "Battery temperature control setting" and a button with the text "Cancel".

[0043] The confirmation information generated by the suggestion unit 15 is output to the communication unit 11, and is transmitted from the communication unit 11 to the vehicle 3 (or the portable device 4) via the communication network 5. In the vehicle 3, the confirmation information from the information processing device 1 is received by the communication device 35 and transmitted to the display control unit 376. As a result, the characters and images (buttons) included in the confirmation information are displayed on the display device 36.

[0044] Figure 5 An example of a display screen for setting the battery temperature control by the process of step S190 is shown. The user of the vehicle 3 confirms the content displayed on the display device 36, and in the case of continuing to set the battery temperature control, touches the "battery temperature control setting" button. When the user touches the "battery temperature control setting" button, although the figure is omitted here, the setting screen of the battery temperature control is displayed on the display device 36 through the display control unit 376. In addition, when not setting the battery temperature control, the user stops the process by touching the "cancel" button.

[0045] Next, effects of the information processing device 1 of the present embodiment will be described. In the information processing device 1 of the present embodiment as described above, when the determination unit 14 determines that the vehicle 3 is performing energy-saving driving based on the driving information of the vehicle 3 acquired by the acquisition unit 12, the suggestion unit 15 outputs information for suggesting the battery degradation suppression control to the user. According to such information processing device 1, the battery degradation suppression control can be effectively suggested to the user who is more likely to be attentive to energy-saving driving. On the other hand, the battery degradation suppression control is not suggested to the user who is less likely to be attentive to energy-saving driving, so that the situation that the user is disgusted can be avoided.

[0046] In addition, in the information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the determination unit 14 infers the user's intention regarding the driving method based on the acceleration / deceleration operation information, and determines whether the vehicle 3 performs energy-saving driving based on the inference result. Thus, it is possible to more effectively recommend battery degradation suppression control for a user with a high energy-saving intention related to the driving method of the vehicle 3.

[0047] In addition, in the information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the determination unit 14 infers the user's intention regarding the air conditioner usage method based on the air conditioner usage information, and determines whether the vehicle 3 performs energy-saving driving based on the inference result. Thus, it is possible to more effectively recommend battery degradation suppression control for a user with a high energy-saving intention related to the usage method of the air conditioner 33 of the vehicle 3.

[0048] In addition, in the information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the determination unit 14 infers the user's intention regarding the charging method based on the charging history information of the battery 34, and determines whether the vehicle 3 performs energy-saving driving based on the inference result. Thus, it is possible to more effectively recommend battery degradation suppression control for a user with a high energy-saving intention related to the battery charging method.

[0049] In addition, in the information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, as a recommendation for battery degradation suppression control, a recommendation for battery temperature adjustment control for adjusting the temperature of the battery is made. In this way, it is possible to make a recommendation for control that can reliably suppress degradation of the battery 34 at high temperatures or low temperatures.

[0050] As described above, embodiments of the present invention have been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the information processing apparatus 1 communicates with the communication device 35 of the vehicle 3 via the communication network 5 has been described, but it is also possible to directly transmit information between the information processing apparatus 1 loaded in the vehicle 3 and the control device 37.

[0051] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the determination unit 14 of the information processing apparatus 1 determines that the vehicle 3 performs energy-saving driving when at least one of the user's intentions related to the driving method, the air conditioner usage method, and the battery charging method is inferred as an energy-saving intention has been described. However, it is also possible to determine that the vehicle 3 performs energy-saving driving on the condition that the user's intention related to all of the above methods is inferred as an energy-saving intention. Alternatively, the energy-saving intention of the user is inferred by setting priorities for the driving method, the air conditioner usage method, and the battery charging method, and thus the energy-saving driving of the vehicle 3 is determined.
