Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. For the sake of clarity of explanation, the following description and drawings are appropriately omitted and simplified. Also, in each drawing, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations are omitted as necessary. Further, the execution order of the processes shown by a flowchart or a sequence chart is merely an example, and the execution order can be appropriately changed as long as there is no technical contradiction. Also, the features of each embodiment can be combined as long as there is no technical contradiction.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a vehicle 20 equipped with a display system 10 according to an embodiment. The display system 10 is a system that displays predetermined information in order to inform a person around the vehicle 20 that the driving skill of the driver of the vehicle 20 is inexperienced. Here, the person around the vehicle 20 may be, for example, the driver of a vehicle around the vehicle 20, but may also be a person riding in a vehicle around the vehicle 20, or may be a pedestrian existing around the vehicle 20. In the example shown in FIG. 1, an automobile that runs on four or more wheels having a vehicle body 21, a front window 22, a rear window 23, and side windows 24 is illustrated as the vehicle 20.

[0011] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the display system 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle 20 includes an information processing device 100, a reading device 151, an in-vehicle camera 152, a display device 153, and a sensor device 154.

[0012] The reading device 151 is a device that reads the information of the driver's driver's license of the vehicle 20. The driver's license includes driver identification information such as name and information on the driver's driver's license acquisition date. In the present embodiment, the driver's license is constituted by an IC (Integrated Circuit) card, and driver information such as driver identification information and driver's license acquisition date is stored in the storage area of the IC card. The reading device 151 is, for example, an IC card reader, but may also be a scanner or the like that reads the driver information printed on the driver's license. If the driver information can be obtained from other than the driver's license, the display system 10 may not have the reading device 151. When the display system 10 has the reading device 151, the driver shall insert the driver's license into the reading device 151 when driving the vehicle 20.

[0013] The in-vehicle camera 152 is a camera that photographs the driver of the vehicle 20. By performing image recognition processing on the image photographed by the in-vehicle camera 152, it is possible to identify the person in the vehicle 20. If the information for identifying the driver can be obtained from other than the image photographed by the in-vehicle camera 152, the display system 10 may not have the in-vehicle camera 152. For example, when it is possible to read the driver identification information from the driver's license by the reading device 151, the display system 10 may not have the in-vehicle camera 152.

[0014] The display device 153 is a device that displays predetermined information indicating that the driving skill of the driver is inexperienced. Since this information is to inform people around the vehicle 20 that the driving skill of the driver of the vehicle 20 is inexperienced, it will be referred to as inexperienced notification information hereinafter. The inexperienced notification information may be information prescribed by rules such as laws and regulations, such as a novice driver sign (so-called novice mark), or may be other marks, or may be a predetermined character string. The display system 10 may have a plurality of display devices 153. The display device 153 may be, for example, a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or may be a projector that projects an image onto a projection surface. The display screen by the display device 153 may be at a predetermined position of the vehicle 20 and a position visible from the outside of the vehicle 20. Specifically, the display screen by the display device 153 may be on the outer surface or the internal space of the vehicle 20 and at a position visible from the outside of the vehicle 20. Therefore, when the screen exists on the outer surface of the vehicle 20, the display screen by the display device 153 may exist, for example, on the surface of the vehicle body 21, or on the surface of the front window 22, the rear window 23, or the side window 24. Further, when the screen exists in the internal space of the vehicle 20, the display screen by the display device 153 exists at a position where it can be visually recognized from the outside, for example, through the front window 22, the rear window 23, or the side window 24. When the displayed inexperienced notification information is information prescribed by rules such as laws and regulations, such as a novice driver sign (so-called novice mark), it is preferable that the screen exists so that the inexperienced notification information is displayed at a position according to the rules.

[0015] The sensor device 154 is a group of devices that perform sensing to obtain information necessary for the process of determining the driving operation of the vehicle 20, that is, information necessary for the determination process regarding the driving of the vehicle 20 by the driver of the vehicle 20. Specifically, for example, the sensor device 154 performs sensing to obtain information necessary for the process of the driving error detection unit 103 described later. The sensor device 154 may include multiple types of sensor devices. The sensor device 154 may include a vehicle speed sensor or an acceleration sensor for detecting the speed of the vehicle 20, or may include a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) sensor for detecting the position of the vehicle 20. Further, the sensor device 154 may include a camera that captures the periphery of the vehicle 20 in order to identify legal rules to be observed when the vehicle 20 is driving, such as the legal speed of the road on which the vehicle 20 is driving, the position where the vehicle 20 should temporarily stop, signals, etc., from road signs, pavement markings, or traffic lights provided on the road. Also, the sensor device 154 may include a distance measuring sensor for detecting the distance between an object located around the vehicle 20 and the vehicle 20. Here, the object located around the vehicle 20 may be another vehicle, a pedestrian, or an obstacle such as a building. The distance measuring sensor is any known sensor, for example, it may be a millimeter wave radar sensor, a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor, or a sensor using a camera. Note that these are merely examples of the sensor device 154, and other known devices may be used as the sensor device 154 in order to obtain information necessary for the processing of the information processing device 100. For example, the sensor device 154 may include a sensor that detects the driver's operation on any operating instrument that can be used for driving the vehicle 20, such as an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, a steering wheel, a direction indicator.

[0016] Next, the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a driver information acquisition unit 101, a driver identification unit 102, a driving error detection unit 103, a storage processing unit 104, a driving history acquisition unit 105, a driving error acquisition unit 106, a driving determination unit 107, and a display control unit 108.

[0017] The driver information acquisition unit 101 acquires driver information. In the present embodiment, the driver information acquisition unit 101 acquires driver information by receiving from the reading device 151 the driver information read by the reading device 151 from the driver's license. However, the driver information acquisition unit 101 may acquire driver information by other known methods. For example, the driver information acquisition unit 101 may acquire driver information input by the driver via the user interface of the information processing apparatus 100. In the present embodiment, driver identification information and the driver's license acquisition date are acquired as driver information, but only one of them may be acquired.

[0018] The driver identification unit 102 performs a process of identifying the driver of the vehicle 20. The driver identification unit 102 may identify the driver of the vehicle 20 by using the driver identification information included in the driver information acquired by the driver information acquisition unit 101. That is, the driver identification unit 102 may identify the driver of the vehicle 20 by using the driver identification information included in the driver information read by the reading device 151 from the driver's license. Further, instead of identifying the driver based on the driver information acquired by the driver information acquisition unit 101, the driver identification unit 102 may identify the driver by using the in-vehicle camera 152. That is, the driver identification unit 102 may identify the driver of the vehicle 20 by performing image recognition processing on the image of the driver captured by the in-vehicle camera 152. Here, as an example of driver identification, identification using the driver information acquisition unit 101 and identification using the in-vehicle camera 152 have been described, but the driver identification unit 102 may identify the driver by other known methods. For example, the driver identification unit 102 may identify the driver of the vehicle 20 by acquiring the driver identification information input by the driver via the user interface of the information processing device 100. Further, the driver identification unit 102 may identify the driver of the vehicle 20 by acquiring the driver identification information input to the in-vehicle device, such as a navigation device, by an operation on the in-vehicle device from the in-vehicle device.

[0019] The driving error detection unit 103 detects driving errors made by the driver of the vehicle 20. The driving error detection unit 103 detects the occurrence of driving that corresponds to a predefined driving error. Specifically, the driving error detection unit 103 detects a driving error by determining whether the running of the vehicle 20 corresponds to a predefined dangerous driving using the sensing result of the sensor device 154. That is, when the running of the vehicle 20 corresponds to a predefined dangerous driving, the driving error detection unit 103 detects the driving of the vehicle 20 by the driver as a driving error. A driving risk level may be predefined for each of the driving errors to be detected by the driving error detection unit 103. That is, a risk level may be predefined for each running of the vehicle 20 that is the target to be detected as a driving error. Examples of the driving detected as a driving error by the driving error detection unit 103 include sudden acceleration, sudden stop, running at a speed exceeding the legal speed, running without following a signal, violation of a stop sign, approaching another object, and an operation error of a direction indicator. However, these are merely examples, and any driving that violates or is in a preliminary stage of violating traffic rules may be predefined as a driving error.

[0020] The memory processing unit 104 performs a process of storing, in a storage medium, information used for the process of the driving determination unit 107 in association with information for identifying the driver. Specifically, the memory processing unit 104 performs a process of storing, in the storage medium, information indicating the driving history of the driver. Here, the information indicating the driving history may include information indicating the date and time when the driver drove the vehicle 20, or may include information indicating the total driving distance of the vehicle 20 by the driver. Note that the information indicating the driving history may include all of these or only a part of them. The memory processing unit 104 generates information indicating the driving history, for example, by setting the period during which the driver drove from the time when the driver identification unit 102 became able to identify the driver to the time when the driver identification unit 102 became unable to identify the driver. Note that this is merely an example, and the start time and end time of driving by the driver may be determined by other known methods. For example, the start time of the driving system of the vehicle 20 and the end time of the operation of the driving system may be set as the start time and end time of driving by the driver. Also, the start time and end time of driving may be specified based on information obtained from other in-vehicle devices such as a navigation device. Note that the memory processing unit 104 may use the position information of the vehicle 20 detected by the sensor device 154 in order to specify the total driving distance. Also, the memory processing unit 104 performs a process of storing, in the storage medium, information indicating the history of driving mistakes detected by the driving mistake detection unit 103. That is, the memory processing unit 104 performs a process of storing, in the storage medium, the detection results regarding the driving mistakes made by the driver.

[0021] Here, the storage medium in which information is stored by the processing of the memory processing unit 104 may be a storage device (for example, the memory 502 described later) included in the information processing apparatus 100, or may be another storage medium. For example, the storage medium in which information is stored by the processing of the memory processing unit 104 may be a storage area in a driver's license constituted by an IC card. In this case, it is preferable that the reading device 151 also functions as a writing device that executes writing of information to the IC card. By storing information in the driver's license, even when there is a possibility that the same driver drives a plurality of vehicles 20 equipped with the display system 10, the driving history can be carried over. Therefore, even if the number of vehicles 20 that a driver can drive is not limited to one, the immature notification information can be appropriately displayed. Further, the memory processing unit 104 may store information in a storage on a network such as a storage server. Similarly in this case, even if the number of vehicles 20 that a driver can drive is not limited to one, the immature notification information can be appropriately displayed.

[0022] The driving history acquisition unit 105 acquires the driving history of the driver stored by the processing of the memory processing unit 104. The driving history acquisition unit 105 acquires the driving history stored in association with the identification information of the driver currently driving the vehicle 20. Note that the driving history acquisition unit 105 may acquire the driving histories of a plurality of vehicles 20 as the driving history of the same driver. In the present embodiment, the driving history acquisition unit 105 acquires the history of the date and time when the driver drove the vehicle 20 and the total driving distance of the vehicle 20. The information acquired by the driving history acquisition unit 105 is an example of information about the driving actually experienced by the driver, which is used in the processing of the driving determination unit 107 described later.

[0023] The driving error acquisition unit 106 acquires the detection results regarding the driving errors committed by the driver, which are stored by the processing of the memory processing unit 104. The driving error acquisition unit 106 acquires the information on the driving errors stored in association with the identification information of the driver currently driving the vehicle 20. Note that the driving error acquisition unit 106 may acquire the detection results regarding the driving errors for a plurality of vehicles 20 as the detection results regarding the driving errors of the same driver. The information acquired by the driving error acquisition unit 106 is an example of the information on the driving actually experienced by the driver, which is used in the processing of the driving determination unit 107 described later.

[0024] The driving determination unit 107 determines whether the driving of the vehicle 20 by the driver satisfies a predetermined condition regarding the immaturity of driving skills, based on the information on the driving actually experienced by the driver. Here, the above-mentioned predetermined condition is a condition regarding the immaturity of driving skills, and in particular, it is a condition for determining that the driver's driving skills are immature. Hereinafter, this condition will be referred to as the driving immaturity condition. Specifically, the driving determination unit 107 makes the following determination.

[0025] The driving determination unit 107 determines that the driving immaturity condition is satisfied when the elapsed time from the previous driving time point specified from the driving history acquired by the driving history acquisition unit 105 is equal to or more than a predetermined first threshold value. Here, the predetermined first threshold value is the elapsed time indicating a preset boundary for distinguishing whether the driver's driving skills are immature. That is, the driving determination unit 107 determines that the driving immaturity condition is satisfied when the blank period of driving from the driver's previous driving to the current driving is long. For example, the driving determination unit 107 determines that the driving immaturity condition is satisfied when the blank period of driving is one year or more.

[0026] In addition, when the total driving distance specified from the driving history acquired by the driving history acquisition unit 105 is less than a predetermined second threshold value, the driving determination unit 107 determines that the novice driving condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined second threshold value is a driving distance indicating a preset boundary for distinguishing whether the driver's driving skill is novice or not. That is, when the driver has little driving experience, the driving determination unit 107 determines that the novice driving condition is satisfied. For example, when the total driving distance is less than 3,000 kilometers, the driving determination unit 107 determines that the novice driving condition is satisfied.

[0027] In addition, the driving determination unit 107 evaluates the driver's driving skill based on the detection result of the driving mistakes acquired by the driving mistake acquisition unit 106. Then, when the evaluation of the driver based on the detected driving mistakes is less than a predetermined threshold value, the driving determination unit 107 determines that the novice driving condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined threshold value is an evaluation value indicating a preset boundary for distinguishing whether the driver's driving skill is novice or not. That is, when the evaluation based on the detection result of the driving mistakes is less than a predetermined standard (level), the driving determination unit 107 determines that the novice driving condition is satisfied. Note that the predetermined standard is, more specifically, a preset standard for distinguishing whether the driver's driving skill is novice or not. The driving determination unit 107 may evaluate the driving based on the occurrence frequency of the driving mistakes (that is, the detection frequency), or may evaluate the driving based on the risk level of the detected driving mistakes, or may evaluate the driving based on both of them. Here, the occurrence frequency of the driving mistakes refers to the number of driving mistakes occurring per unit time, and can also be referred to as the occurrence rate (detection rate) of the driving mistakes. In this way, the evaluation of the driver may be an evaluation based on the occurrence frequency of the driving mistakes or the risk level of the driving mistakes. Thereby, the driver's driving skill can be evaluated more appropriately. Note that the driving determination unit 107 may calculate a score indicating the proficiency level of the driving as an evaluation of the driving.

[0028] When the operation determination unit 107 determines that the novice driving condition is satisfied, the display control unit 108 controls to display novice notification information at a predetermined position of the vehicle 20 that is visible from outside the vehicle 20. Specifically, the display control unit 108 performs a control process to cause the display device 153 to display the novice notification information. That is, when it is determined that the driver's driving satisfies the novice driving condition, the display control unit 108 controls the display device 153 to display the novice notification information. In addition, when the elapsed time from the acquisition of the driver's driving license to the present for the vehicle 20 does not exceed a predetermined period (for example, one year), the display control unit 108 may perform a control process to cause the display device 153 to display the novice notification information regardless of the determination result of the operation determination unit 107. In particular, when the novice notification information to be displayed is information such as a novice mark that the driver is obliged to display on the vehicle 20 for at least a predetermined period from the acquisition of the driving license according to the regulations, the display control unit 108 may perform the following control. When the elapsed time from the acquisition of the driver's driving license does not exceed a predetermined period, the display control unit 108 displays the novice notification information regardless of whether the driver's operation of the vehicle 20 satisfies the novice driving condition. Then, when the elapsed time from the acquisition of the driver's driving license exceeds a predetermined period, the display control unit 108 displays the novice notification information according to whether the driver's operation of the vehicle 20 satisfies the novice driving condition. By performing such control, it is possible to appropriately balance the obligation to display the novice notification information and the display using the novice driving condition.

[0029] Next, the processing flow of the information processing device 100 for the display of the novice notification information will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing flow of the display processing of the novice notification information by the information processing device 100. Hereinafter, the processing flow of the display processing of the novice notification information will be described with reference to FIG. 4. It is assumed that the processing of the storage processing unit 104 and the driving error detection unit 103 described above is appropriately performed before or during the execution of the processing of the flowchart described below.

[0030] In step S100, the driver identification unit 102 identifies the driver of the vehicle 20. Next, in step S101, the driver information acquisition unit 101 acquires the acquisition date of the driver's driving license of the vehicle 20.

[0031] Next, in step S102, the display control unit 108 determines whether or not the elapsed time since the acquisition of the driver's driving license of the vehicle 20 has exceeded a predetermined period. If the predetermined period has not elapsed since the acquisition of the driving license (No in step S102), the process proceeds to step S107. On the other hand, if the predetermined period has elapsed since the acquisition of the driving license (Yes in step S102), the process proceeds to step S103.

[0032] In step S103, the driving history acquisition unit 105 acquires the driving history of the driver stored by the processing of the storage processing unit 104. After step S103, in step S104, the driving determination unit 107 determines whether or not the driving history acquired by the driving history acquisition unit 105 satisfies the driving inexperienced condition. For example, the driving determination unit 107 determines whether or not the length of the blank period from the previous driving time of the driver to the current driving time is equal to or longer than a predetermined first threshold value. Thereby, it is possible to realize the display of inexperienced notification information based on the decrease in the driving skill level due to the long blank period of driving. Further, for example, the driving determination unit 107 determines whether or not the total driving distance is less than a predetermined second threshold value. Thereby, it is possible to realize the display of inexperienced notification information based on the amount of driving experience. If the driving history satisfies the driving inexperienced condition (Yes in step S104), the process proceeds to step S107. On the other hand, if the driving history does not satisfy the driving inexperienced condition (No in step S104), the process proceeds to step S105. Note that in the blank period of driving and the total driving distance, when the driving inexperienced condition is satisfied, the process may proceed to step S107, or when the driving inexperienced condition is satisfied in either one of them, the process may proceed to step S107.

[0033] In step S105, the driving error acquisition unit 106 acquires the detection result of the driving errors made by the driver, which is stored by the processing of the memory processing unit 104. After step S105, in step S106, the driving determination unit 107 evaluates the driving skills of the driver based on the detection result of the driving errors acquired by the driving error acquisition unit 106, and determines whether the evaluation result of the driving skills satisfies the novice driving condition. That is, the driving determination unit 107 determines whether the evaluation of the driver based on the detected driving errors is less than a predetermined threshold. When the evaluation of the driver based on the driving errors satisfies the novice driving condition (Yes in step S106), the process proceeds to step S107. Thereby, the display of the novice notification information based on the evaluation result of the driver's driving skills can be realized. On the contrary, when the evaluation does not satisfy the novice driving condition (No in step S106), the process proceeds to step S108.

[0034] When the process proceeds to step S107, the display control unit 108 performs control processing to cause the display device 153 to display the novice notification information. Thereby, the display device 153 displays the novice notification information. On the contrary, when the process proceeds to step S108, the display control unit 108 does not perform control processing for displaying the novice notification information. That is, the display device 153 does not display the novice notification information.

[0035] Note that the above-described flowchart includes steps S102, S104, and S106 as determinations for displaying the novice notification information. However, in the information processing apparatus 100, not all of these determination steps need to be performed, and only some of the determination steps may be performed. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 may have only any one of the display functions of the novice notification information based on the elapsed time from the acquisition date of the driver's license, the display function of the novice notification information based on the driving history, and the display function of the novice notification information based on the driving errors.

[0036] The above describes the embodiments. In this embodiment, whether the driving of the vehicle 20 by the driver satisfies the novice driving condition is determined based on information about the driving actually experienced by the driver. And when it is determined that the driving satisfies the novice driving condition, novice notification information is displayed. Therefore, information indicating that the driver's driving skill is novice can be appropriately displayed.

[0037] Note that the above-described functions (processes) of the information processing apparatus 100 may be realized by a computer 500 having, for example, the following configuration.

[0038] FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a computer 500 that realizes the processing of the information processing apparatus 100. As shown in FIG. 5, the computer 500 includes an input / output interface 501, a memory 502, and a processor 503.

[0039] The input / output interface 501 is used to communicate with other devices such as a reading device 151, an in-vehicle camera 152, a display device 153, and a sensor device 154.

[0040] The memory 502 is constituted by, for example, a combination of a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory. The memory 502 is used to store programs executed by the processor 503, data used for processing, and the like.

[0041] The processor 503 reads and executes a program from the memory 502 to perform the processing of the information processing apparatus 100. The processor 503 may be, for example, a microprocessor, an MPU (Micro Processor Unit), or a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The processor 503 may include a plurality of processors.

[0042] The program includes a set of instructions (or software code) that cause a computer to perform one or more functions described in the embodiments when loaded into the computer. The program may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium or a tangible storage medium. By way of example and not limitation, the computer-readable medium or tangible storage medium includes RAM (random-access memory), ROM (read-only memory), flash memory, SSD (solid-state drive) or other memory technologies, CD-ROM, DVD (digital versatile disc), Blu-ray (registered trademark) disc or other optical disc storage. The program may be transmitted on a transitory computer-readable medium or a communication medium. By way of example and not limitation, the transitory computer-readable medium or communication medium includes electrical, optical, acoustic, or other forms of propagated signals.

[0043] As described above, the embodiments have been explained, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist.

[0044] Some or all of the above embodiments may be described as follows, but are not limited thereto.
