The vehicle 2 and the server device 3 may be connected to each other via a network 4. As examples of the network 4, various networks such as a mobile network, a mobile communication network, a satellite communication network, the Internet, an intranet, and an extranet are expected.In the incentive system 1 described in detail below, when predetermined delivery information obtained from the vehicle 2 is delivered from the vehicle 2 to the server device 3, an incentive regarding decoration of the vehicle 2 is given to the vehicle 2 from the server device 3 in response to the delivery of the delivery information. Then, decoration corresponding to the given incentive is performed on the vehicle 2.1.2. Configuration of Vehicle 2FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of the vehicle 2, for example, the vehicle 2 is an automobile having one or both of an internal combustion engine and an engine as a drive source.As illustrated in FIG. 2, the vehicle 2 includes a controller 11, a memory 12, an input unit 13, a display device 14, a sound output unit 15, a sensor unit 16, an external environment recognizer 17, an internal environment recognizer 18, an in-vehicle fault diagnostic device 19, a navigation device 20, a driver monitoring system 21, and a communication unit 22.In the vehicle 2, the controller 11, the storage 12, the input unit 13, the display device 14, the sound output unit 15, the sensor unit 16, the external environment recognizer 17, the internal environment recognizer 18, the in-vehicle fault diagnostic device 19, the navigation device 20, the driver monitoring system 21, and the communication unit 22 are coupled to each other via a bus 23. Between the components, control signals, data and the like to be used are transmitted and received.The controller 11 is formed of a computer including a central processing unit (CPU), a read only memory (ROM), and a random access memory (RAM). The controller 11 controls the entire vehicle 2 by causing the CPU to execute various types of processing according to a program read from the ROM or the memory 12 and loaded into the RAM.The controller 11 includes functional units such as an information supplier 31, a lifestyle information acquirer 32, an incentive acquirer 33, and an incentive acquirer 34. These functional units will be described in detail later.The memory 12 is formed of a hard disk drive (HDD), a flash memory, or the like. The memory 12 stores a program for realizing the processing according to the present embodiment. The memory 12 stores information for processing according to the present embodiment, such as map information, failure diagnosis information, map creation support information, and incentive data.The input unit 13 is a device such as a touch panel or a button that can be operated by a user. When an operation by the user is detected by the input unit 13, a signal corresponding to the input operation is input to the controller 11.The display device 14 includes an interior display device 14 athat displays an image mainly for an occupant of the vehicle and an exterior display device 14 bthat displays an image mainly for the exterior environment of the vehicle.The interior display device 14 ais, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic electroluminescence (EL) display, and displays various images (screen views) based on an instruction from the controller 11. The interior display device 14 adisplays various operation menus, icons, messages, and the like, that is, performs display as a graphical user interface (GUI) on the basis of an instruction from the controller 11.FIGS. 3 and 4 are views of examples of the exterior display device 14 b. As illustrated in FIG. 3, an example of the exterior display device 14 bis an LCD or an organic electroluminescence (EL) display mounted on a rear end portion of the vehicle 2, for example, an upper portion of a rear bumper.As illustrated in FIG. 4, another example of the exterior display device 14 bis an in-vehicle projector that projects an image, for example, onto a rear side window.In this way, the exterior display device 14 bdisplays an image mainly directed to the exterior of the vehicle. For example, up to four ornaments 100, which will be described in detail later, may be displayed on the exterior display device 14 bbased on the instruction of the controller 11. The number of ornaments 100 that can be displayed on the exterior display device 14 bmay be any number.The sound output unit 15 includes a speaker, an amplifier, and the like, and outputs various sounds based on an instruction from the controller 11. The sound output unit 15 can desirably output a sound to the inside of the vehicle, and can desirably output a vehicle approach sound or the like informing the outside environment of the vehicle that the vehicle 2 approaches to the outside environment of the vehicle.The sensor unit 16 represents a plurality of sensors present in the vehicle 2 overall. The sensor unit 16 includes, for example, a vehicle speed sensor, a wheel speed sensor, an engine speed sensor, an accelerator operation degree sensor, a brake sensor, a steering angle sensor, a yaw rate sensor, a G sensor, and a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) sensor. These sensors are merely examples, and some of these sensors may not be present, or sensors other than these sensors may be present.The vehicle speed sensor detects the speed of the vehicle 2. The engine speed sensor detects the speed of an engine. The accelerator pedal operation amount sensor detects the operation amount of the accelerator pedal by using the operation amount of an accelerator pedal. The brake sensor detects the brake operation amount of the brake by using the operation amount of the brake pedal.The steering angle sensor detects the steering angle of a steering wheel. The yaw rate sensor detects the yaw rate acting on the vehicle 2. The G sensor detects accelerations acting in the traveling direction, the vehicle width direction, and the vertical direction of the vehicle 2. The GNSS sensor detects the current position of the vehicle 2 based on a signal transmitted from an artificial satellite.The external environment recognizer 17 includes a stereo camera that captures an area in front of the vehicle 2 and a computer that performs image processing. In the external environment recognizer 17, the computer performs predetermined image processing regarding recognition of an external environment, on the basis of image data obtained from the stereo camera capturing an image in the traveling direction of the vehicle 2.For example, the external environment recognizer 17 performs the following processing as image processing based on image data obtained by stereo imaging. First, the external environment recognizer 17 generates distance information for each pixel based on a triangulation principle using the deviation (parallax) between corresponding positions in a pair of captured images as image data.Then, the external environment recognizer 17 performs known grouping processing on the distance information, and compares the distance information subjected to the grouping processing with three-dimensional road shape data, object data, and the like stored in advance. Accordingly, the external environment recognizer 17 recognizes a guideline, a road marking, a guardrail along a road, a side wall such as a curb, an object such as a vehicle, a stop line, a traffic light, a railroad crossing, a pedestrian crossing, a lane, and the like.The external environment recognizer 17 may recognize an object in the environment on the basis of the image data, and may also recognize the behavior of the object. For example, the external environment recognizer 17 may also recognize the position, the speed, the acceleration, a change in the heading direction, the lighting state of a turn signal indicator, and the like of a preceding vehicle with respect to the vehicle 2. The lighting state of the turn signal indicator indicates whether the turn signal indicator is lighting, blinking, or turned off.When a predetermined object is detected among the detected objects, the external environment detector 17 causes the memory 12 to store external environment information indicating the detected object.The interior environment recognizer 18 includes a camera that captures the interior of the vehicle and a computer that performs image processing. The interior environment recognizer 18 recognizes an object in the vehicle and a feature (content) of the object by performing predetermined image processing by the computer on the basis of image data obtained from the camera capturing an image of the vehicle interior.For example, the interior environment recognizer 18 recognizes a person, a pet, a musical instrument, a bicycle, or the like, which are located in the vehicle.When recognizing a person present in the vehicle, the interior environment recognizer 18 recognizes the sex and age of the person. Upon recognizing a pet, a musical instrument, or a bicycle in the vehicle, the interior environment recognizer 18 recognizes the type of the pet, the musical instrument, or the bicycle.The image processing in this case can be performed with an existing technique, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted.Then, when a predetermined object is recognized in advance, the interior environment recognizer 18 causes the memory 12 to store interior environment information indicating the recognized object and the feature (content) of the object.The on-vehicle fault diagnostic device (OBD) 19 includes a computer and diagnoses a fault of the vehicle 2 based on, for example, a detection result detected by the sensor unit 16. When finding a fault, the in-vehicle fault diagnostic device 19 causes the memory 12 to store fault diagnostic information indicating the content of the fault.The failure diagnosis information stored in this case is information for the repair of the vehicle 2, and is useful information for creating a database constructed by collecting failure information, for example, for each type of vehicle.The navigation device 20 has a computer. The navigation device 20 displays, on the interior display device 14 a, a map image including the current position of the vehicle 2 calculated by the GNSS sensor on the basis of the map information stored in the memory 12.Upon receiving a destination input through the input unit 13, the navigation device 20 searches for a route to the destination and gives guidance for the searched route. For example, the navigation device 20 causes the interior display device 14 ato display the searched route superimposed on a map, or causes the sound output unit 15 to output a voice for guidance along the searched route.The navigation device 20 searches from the map information for a location specified as a destination, a location visited by the vehicle 2 on a map or the like, and causes the storage 12 to store the location or the like as destination information.When the current position of the vehicle 2 is not on a road included in the map information, i.e., when the vehicle 2 is not traveling on such a road, the navigation device 20 causes the storage 12 to store the route of the current position of the vehicle 2 as map creation support information when the vehicle 2 is not traveling on such a road.The map creation support information stored in this case may indicate a road that is not registered in the map information, i.e., a new road, and is useful information for creating a map.The driver monitoring system 21 includes a camera that captures an image of the driver (user) and a computer that performs image processing. The driver monitoring system 21 is a system that detects drowsiness, kicking, inattentive driving, or the like of the driver by performing predetermined image processing on an image captured by the camera, and may also identify the driver. Thus, when identifying the driver, the driver monitoring system 21 causes the memory 12 to store user identification information for identifying the driver.The communication unit 22 performs the communication processing via the network 4. The controller 11 performs various kinds of data communication with an external device connected to the network 4, for example, the server device 3, via the communication unit 22.1.3. Configuration of Server Device 3FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration of the server device 3. as shown in FIG. 5, the server device 3 is a computer including a CPU 41, a ROM 42, a RAM 43, a memory 44, and a communication unit 45.In the server device 3, the CPU 41, the ROM 42, the RAM 43, the memory 44, and the communication unit 45 are connected to each other via a bus 46. Control signals, data and the like are transmitted and received between the units.The CPU 41 executes various kinds of processing according to a program read from the ROM 42 or the memory 44 and loaded into the RAM 43. The RAM 43 also stores data and the like for the CPU 41 to execute the various kinds of processing as needed.The CPU 41 serves as the information detector 51, the evaluation unit 52, and the incentive determiner 53.The memory 44 is formed of an HDD, a flash memory, or the like. The memory 44 stores a program for realizing the processing according to the present embodiment. The memory 44 stores information transmitted from the vehicle 2 and also stores data of an incentive to be given to the vehicle 2.1.4. Incentive ProcessingNext, the incentive processing performed by the incentive system 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the incentive processing in the vehicle 2; FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the incentive processing in the server device 3.When the incentive processing is started in the vehicle 2 as illustrated in FIG. 6, the controller 11 determines whether delivery information can be sent to the server device 3. In the vehicle 2, for example, a situation in which communication can be performed via the communication unit 22, a situation in which a battery of the vehicle 2 is charged, or the like is set as a transmittable condition, and whether the transmittable condition is satisfied is determined in this step.When transmission is possible (YES in step S 1), the information supplier 31 acquires failure diagnosis information stored in the memory 12 and map creation support information as supply information (step S 2).The lifestyle information acquirer 32 also acquires interior environment information, exterior environment information, destination information, and user input information as lifestyle information (step S 3).The user input information is information related to the lifestyle of a user (e.g., a driver) and input by the user. For example, the user input information is input by an operation of the input unit 13 by the user or acquired via a smartphone.It can be said that this information indicates the user's lifestyle, such as a hobby, a type of life, and destinations of the user.The information supplier 31 transmits the acquired supply information and lifestyle information associated with the vehicle 2 to the server device 3 (step S 4). In this case, the communication unit 22 transmits the delivery information and the lifestyle information in association with, for example, a unique ID of the vehicle 2.In the server device 3, as illustrated in FIG. 7, upon receiving the delivery information and the lifestyle information, the information acquirer 51 causes the storage 44 to store the delivery information and the lifestyle information in association with the unique ID of the vehicle 2 (step S 11).Then, the evaluation unit 52 outputs points as an evaluation value according to the supply information stored in the memory 44 (step S 12). As a method of assigning points, the number of times of failure diagnosis may be assigned directly as points, or points may be given for each content of the failure diagnosis, and the points may be assigned according to the failure contents indicated in the failure diagnosis information.Points may also be assigned for each predetermined distance according to the length of the route included in the map creation support information.Then, the incentive determiner 53 determines an ornament 100 or a sound effect to be given as an incentive based on the points given by the evaluation unit 52 and the captured lifestyle information (step S 13).FIG. 8 is a table showing examples of the ornament 100. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the ornament 100 is an image indicating a predetermined lifestyle, and an ornament name and a condition of allocation are set. The incentive determiner 53 determines the ornament 100 or the sound effect corresponding to the user's lifestyle.An ornament "Park Fan" is, for example, an ornament 100 for giving a user who frequently visits parks. For the ornament "Park-Fan", the condition that the number of visits to a national park is at least 5 is set as the allocation condition. The number of visits to a national park may be calculated using the destination information.An ornament "Advertiser" is an ornament 100 for assignment to a user who has provided useful information for constructing a map, i.e., a user who has made a large contribution to map creation. For the ornament "Abenteuer", one of a condition that the number of times of providing map-making assistance information is 10 or more, a condition that the length of a route (a road) provided by map-making assistance information is 10 km or more, and a condition that the area of a map created based on map-making assistance information is 50,000 m 2 or more is set as a condition of allocation.An ornament "mountain bike" is an ornament 100 for assignment to a user who may be mountain bikes. For the ornament "mountain bike", the condition that a mountain bike has been mounted to the vehicle 2 once and the condition that the number of visits to a bicycle store is 10 or more are set as allocation conditions.Whether a mountain bike has already been mounted to the vehicle 2 may be determined based on whether a mountain bike is included in the detected objects in the interior environment information. The number of visits to a bicycle store can be calculated using the destination information.An ornament "military" is an ornament 100 for assignment to a user having an entrance experience to the military. For the ornament "military", the condition that a user has an entrance experience to the military is set as a condition for the assignment. Whether a user has an entrance experience in the military may be determined by determining whether information indicating that the user has an entrance experience in the military is included in the user input information.As illustrated in FIG. 9, the sound effect is a sound effect output from the sound output unit 15, and a setting condition is set. For example, for the sound effect "engine sound", an engine sound is output from the sound output unit 15 as a vehicle approach sound or a start sound. For the sound effect "engine sound", the condition that the number of visits to a race track is 5 or more is set as a default condition. The number of visits to a race track may be calculated using the destination information.The incentive determiner 53 determines the number of incentives to be given according to the assigned points. For example, the incentive determiner 53 increases the number of incentives to be given after every predetermined number of points reached (e.g., every 10 points).The items for giving an incentive may be set for each type of incentive. For example, 10 points may be required for issuing an ornament 100, and 20 points may be required for a sound effect. The points for issuing an ornament 100 may be different for different ornaments 100.A case where an ornament 100 is given every predetermined number of points reached will be described below. For example, when all 10 points are given an ornament 100 for a vehicle ID having 30 points, the incentive determiner 53 determines the assignment of three ornaments 100.At this time, the incentive determiner 53 first extracts the ornaments 100 that satisfy the allocation conditions. Then, when the number of ornaments 100 satisfying the distribution conditions is three or less, the incentive determiner 53 determines the ornaments 100 satisfying the distribution conditions as the ornaments 100 to be distributed.On the other hand, when the number of ornaments 100 satisfying the allocation conditions is more than three, the incentive determiner 53 determines the allocation of three ornaments 100 according to the priorities predetermined in advance.In this case, for example, a priority is given for the assignment of an ornament 100 for each ornament 100, and the incentive determiner 53 determines three high-priority ornaments 100 among ornaments 100 satisfying the assignment conditions as the ornaments 100 to be assigned.Alternatively, when the number of ornaments 100 satisfying the issuing conditions is more than three, the incentive determiner 53 may determine the ornament 100 selected by the user as the ornament 100 to be issued.For example, the incentive determiner 53 sends a list of ornaments 100 satisfying certain conditions to the vehicle 2 to display the list on the interior display device 14 aof the vehicle 2. In the vehicle 2, three ornaments 100 are selected from the ornaments 100 indicated in the list by an operation of the input unit 13 by the user. Then, information indicating the ornament 100 selected by the operation of the user on the input unit 13 is transmitted from the vehicle 2 to the server device 3, and thus the incentive determiner 53 determines the three ornaments 100 selected by the user as the ornament 100 to be issued.When the incentive determiner 53 determines the incentive to be given (the ornament 100), the incentive determiner 53 transmits the data of the determined incentive to the vehicle 2 having the corresponding vehicle ID via the communication unit 45.In the vehicle 2, when the incentive detector 33 receives the data of the incentive (YES in step S 5), the incentive generator 34 causes the memory 12 to store the data of the incentive and gives the incentive based on the data (step S 6). For example, upon receiving data of an ornament 100, the incentiveer 34 causes the exterior display device 14 bto display the ornament 100 based on the data.When data of a sound effect is received, the exciter 34 causes the sound output unit 15 to output the sound effect based on the data at a predetermined timing.As described above, the number (four in this case) of ornaments 100 that can be displayed on the exterior display device 14 bis determined in advance.Thus, the incentive determiner 53 may determine the number of ornaments 100 that can be displayed maximally on the exterior display device 14 b.The incentive determiner 53 determines the number of ornaments 100 according to the points. When more ornaments 100 than the number of ornaments 100 that can be displayed on the exterior display device 14 bare determined, the incentiveer 34 may cause the user to select the ornaments 100 to be displayed on the exterior display device 14 bfrom the determined ornaments 100.Alternatively, if more ornaments 100 than the number of ornaments 100 that can be displayed on the exterior display 14 bare determined, the incentiveer 34 may alternate the determined ornaments 100 to be displayed on the exterior display 14 b.In this way, a decoration corresponding to the user's lifestyle may be performed in the vehicle 2 in response to providing information about the vehicle 2. Thus, in the vehicle 2, the spaced-apart drive for providing information related to the vehicle 2 can be increased and a feeling of satisfaction can be provided to the user.Second EmbodimentIn the first embodiment, the case where an incentive is given in association with each vehicle ID of the vehicle 2 has been described. In a second embodiment, a case where an incentive is given in association with a user ID of a driver (user) will be described. Hereinafter, the driver will be referred to simply as a user.As described above, the driver monitoring system 21 can also identify the user, and when the user is identified, user identification information for identifying the user is stored in the memory 12.In the vehicle 2, when the user identification information is acquired, the user identification information is transmitted from the information supplier 31 to the server device 3. In the server device 3, the CPU 41 sets the user ID based on the received user identification information.In the server device 3, each user is assigned a unique user ID, and delivery information, lifestyle information, evaluation value, user identification information, information on a given incentive, and the like are stored in the memory 44 in association with the user ID.When the user ID cannot be identified, the information acquirer 51 notifies the vehicle 2 of a new unique user ID and causes the storage 44 to store the user ID in association with the user ID information.On the other hand, when the user ID can be identified, the incentive determiner 53 notifies the vehicle 2 of the identified user ID, and when there is an incentive associated with the user ID, the incentive determiner 53 transmits data of the incentive to the vehicle 2.Accordingly, the incentiveer 34 in the vehicle 2 may give the incentive associated with the user identifier based on the received incentive data.In the vehicle 2, the information supplier 31 transmits the delivery information and the lifestyle information in association with the user ID to the server device 3.Accordingly, in the incentive system 1, delivery information and lifestyle information for the same user using different vehicles 2 can be collected, and an incentive can be shared between the different vehicles 2 used by the same user.In the incentive system 1, by managing an incentive for each user ID, even when a plurality of users such as family members use the same vehicle 2, each user using the same vehicle 2 can be made to use a different incentive.3. Modification: ModificationAlthough the embodiments according to the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described examples and can employ various configurations.For example, in the above-described embodiments, the controller 11 of the vehicle 2 includes the functional units such as the information supplier 31, the lifestyle information acquirer 32, the incentive acquirer 33, and the incentive acquirer 34. However, these functional units may also be included in another computer in the vehicle 2. Alternatively, these functional units can also be contained in the server device 3.In the above-described embodiments, the CPU 41 of the server device 3 includes the functional units such as the information acquirer 51, the evaluation unit 52, and the incentive determiner 53. However, these functional units can also be contained in the computer of the vehicle 2.In the above-described embodiments, the ornament 100 and the sound effect are given as incentives. However, the incentive may be other than the ornament 100 and the sound effect as long as the incentive relates to decoration of the vehicle 2.In the above-described embodiments, the failure diagnosis information and the map creation support information have been described as examples of the delivery information, but the delivery information is not limited thereto as long as the delivery information is information obtained from the vehicle 2.In the second embodiment described above, the user ID is set for each driver. However, the user ID may be set for any person as long as the person travels in the vehicle 2, and the user ID may be set for a person seated on an occupant seat, for example.In the above-described embodiments, the ornament 100 designated by the server device 3 is displayed on the external display device 14 b. However, if the user does not wish to display the ornament 100, the ornament 100 may be hidden as well.4.
