[0010] A function is known that identifies a user when getting into a vehicle and reflects settings tailored to the identified user in the vehicle. Some of these settings are stored on a server. These settings can also be changed from the vehicle or a smartphone. These settings are performed by the user themselves, but there is a risk that functions that the user is not aware of cannot be set. The present disclosure solves this problem.

[0011] Therefore, in the present disclosure, settings can be proposed not only by the user driving the vehicle, but also by a proposer, such as the user's family or a vehicle dealer. When the user accepts the proposal, the proposed settings are reflected in the vehicle. Specifically, a control unit included in an information processing device according to one aspect of the present disclosure acquires first information regarding vehicle settings proposed by a proposer associated with the vehicle driver. The proposer may be notified in advance by the driver of information required for proposing vehicle settings. The first information is information that can identify the settings to be changed. Furthermore, the control unit proposes vehicle settings corresponding to the first information to the driver when the driver uses the vehicle. The time of using the vehicle may be when the vehicle's power switch or ignition switch is turned on. As another example, the time of using the vehicle may be when the driver gets in the vehicle or when driver authentication is completed. The driver is presented with information regarding the settings proposed by the proposer. Based on the presented information, the driver can choose whether or not to accept the proposed settings. This allows the proposer to suggest to the driver the use of more appropriate functions.

[0012] Specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the hardware configurations, module configurations, functional configurations, and the like described in the following embodiments are not intended to limit the technical scope of the disclosure to those configurations alone.

[0013] <Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a vehicle 10, a driver terminal 20, a server 30, and a proposer terminal 40 that constitute a system 1 according to an embodiment. The system 1 is a system that can propose settings for various devices of the vehicle 10 (hereinafter also referred to as vehicle 10 settings) to the driver. The driver terminal 20 is a mobile terminal carried by the driver of the vehicle 10. The proposer terminal 40 is a terminal carried by a proposer who proposes vehicle 10 settings to the driver of the vehicle 10. The driver terminal 20 and the proposer terminal 40 may be terminals having the same functions. Alternatively, a single terminal may have the functions of both the driver terminal 20 and the proposer terminal 40. A proposer is a person related to the driver, such as the driver's family or friends, a salesperson at a dealership of the vehicle 10, or a worker at a repair shop for the vehicle 10. The vehicle 10 is a vehicle associated with the driver terminal 20. There may be multiple vehicles 10, multiple driver terminals 20, and multiple proposer terminals 40. The server 30 may be composed of multiple servers. The vehicle 10, the driver terminal 20, the server 30, and the proposer terminal 40 are connected to one another by a network N1. The network N1 may be a global public communication network such as the Internet, and may be a WAN (Wide Area Network) or other communication network. The network N1 may also include a telephone communication network such as a mobile phone, or a wireless communication network such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

[0014] The server 30 includes a processor (CPU, GPU, etc.), a main memory device (RAM, ROM, etc.), and an auxiliary memory device (EPROM, hard disk drive, removable media, etc.). The auxiliary storage device stores an operating system (OS), various programs, various tables, etc., and by executing the programs stored therein, various functions (software modules) that meet predetermined purposes, as described below, can be realized. However, some or all of the modules may be realized as hardware modules using hardware circuits such as ASICs and FPGAs.

[0015] The server 30 includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a communication module 33. The control unit 31 is a computing unit that executes predetermined programs to realize various functions of the server 30. The control unit 31 can be realized by a hardware processor such as a CPU. The control unit 31 may also be configured to include RAM, ROM, cache memory, etc.

[0016] The storage unit 32 is a means for storing information and is configured with a storage medium such as a RAM, a magnetic disk, or a flash memory. The storage unit 32 stores programs executed by the control unit 31, data used by the programs, and the like. The storage unit 32 also has databases (a setting information DB 321 and a proposed information DB 322). FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the table configuration of the setting information DB 321 and the proposed information DB 322. The control unit 31 acquires information related to the settings of the vehicle 10 (hereinafter also referred to as setting information) and information related to proposed settings of the vehicle 10 (hereinafter also referred to as proposal information), and stores the information in the setting information DB 321 and the proposed information DB 322. The setting information DB 321 stores settings made by the driver himself, and the proposed information DB 322 stores settings proposed by a proposer. The control unit 31 of the server 30 has a function of managing the setting information and proposal information described below and providing the proposal information to the vehicle 10.

[0017] The setting information DB 321 has fields for a vehicle ID, a driver, and a setting. The vehicle ID field stores information (vehicle ID) that can identify the vehicle 10. The driver field stores, for example, information for identifying the driver terminal 20 (driver terminal ID) or information for identifying the driver (driver ID). The setting field stores information related to the settings of the vehicle 10. Note that the setting field may store information related to multiple settings corresponding to multiple devices.

[0018] The proposal information DB322 has fields for a vehicle ID, a proposer, a driver, and settings. The proposer field stores information that can identify the proposer (for example, the proposer ID, name, or affiliation). The vehicle ID field, the driver field, and the setting field are the same as those in the setting information DB321.

[0019] The control unit 31 of the server 30 manages setting information and proposal information. When the control unit 31 receives setting information from the vehicle 10, the control unit 31 stores the setting information in the setting information DB 321. Furthermore, when the control unit 31 receives proposal information, the control unit 31 proposes settings for the vehicle 10 when the driver corresponding to the proposal information drives the vehicle 10. Note that if the driver does not accept the proposal, the corresponding proposal information is deleted from the proposal information DB 322. Note that, as another example, the setting information may be transmitted from the driver's terminal 20. In this case, the driver may be able to change the settings of the vehicle 10 using the driver's terminal 20. The setting information may be transmitted from the driver's terminal 20 to the server 30, and further transmitted from the server 30 to the vehicle 10, thereby changing the settings of the vehicle 10. Note that the driver may register in advance functions whose settings the proposer cannot change.

[0020] The communication module 33 is a communication interface for connecting the server 30 to the network N1. The communication module 33 may be, for example, a network interface board, The server 30 may be configured to include a wireless communication interface for wireless communication, etc. The server 30 can perform data communication with the vehicle 10, the driver terminal 20, and the proposer terminal 40 via the communication module 33.

[0021] The vehicle 10 is a connected car with communication functions. The vehicle 10 is equipped with a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication module 13, a display system device 14, and a body system device 15. These components are interconnected by a CAN bus, which is a bus for an in-vehicle network. These components are also connected to a DCM (Data Communication Module), a head unit, The components may be components of a vehicle navigation system, an air conditioning system, a driving system, etc.

[0022] The control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 can be realized by, for example, a hardware processor such as a CPU. The control unit 11 may also be configured to include RAM, ROM (Read Only Memory), cache memory, etc. The storage unit 12 is a means for storing information and is configured by a storage medium such as RAM, a magnetic disk, or a flash memory. The storage unit 12 stores programs executed by the control unit 11, data used by the programs, etc. The storage unit 12 also stores driver information 121 and setting information 122. The driver information 121 and setting information 122 are provided from the server 30.

[0023] The driver information 121 is information for identifying the driver. The driver information 121 may be, for example, information related to biometric information or a password for authenticating the driver. The driver information 121 may also be information for authenticating the driver terminal 20. The driver information 121 may also include information related to the driver's name or driver ID.

[0024] The setting information 122 is information regarding the settings of the display system devices 14 and the body system devices 15 according to the driver. The control unit 11 requests the display system devices 14 and the body system devices 15 to change their settings in accordance with the setting information 122 according to the identified driver. The display system devices 14 are, for example, a multimedia display and a meter. For example, the display content, brightness, volume, route selection method, etc. of the display system devices 14 can be changed according to the driver, and the setting information 122 is stored in the storage unit 12 as information for making these changes. The body system devices 15 are, for example, devices that allow the driver to change the driving position, such as the seat position and the steering wheel position, and a driving assistance system. For example, the driving position can be changed or the functions of the driving assistance system can be changed according to the driver. The setting information 122 is stored in the storage unit 12 as information for making these changes. For example, if the driver is elderly or a novice driver, it is possible to set the vehicle to activate functions such as a warning about wrong-way driving, a warning to stop, or a suppression of sudden acceleration. It is also conceivable that a salesperson for the vehicle 10 may remotely set functions that he or she wishes to recommend to the driver or functions that the driver has inquired about.

[0025] The communication module 13 is a communication means for connecting the vehicle 10 to the network N1. In this embodiment, the vehicle 10 can communicate with other devices (for example, the driver's terminal 20 and the server 30) via the network N1 using a mobile communication service such as 3G, LTE, 5G, or 6G. Note that the vehicle 10 and the driver's terminal 20 may be capable of short-range wireless communication.

[0026] The control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 registers the driver, identifies the driver, performs settings according to the driver based on the setting information, and performs settings according to the driver based on the proposal information. The control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 also transmits an inquiry to the driver's terminal 20 as to whether or not to accept the proposal to change the settings.

[0027] The driver terminal 20 is a terminal used by the driver of the vehicle 10, and is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a wearable terminal, or a PC (Personal Computer). The driver's terminal 20 has installed thereon, for example, application software or a web browser for changing the settings of the vehicle 10. The driver's terminal 20 includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, a communication module 23, and a touch panel 24. The control unit 21, storage unit 22, and communication module 23 of the driver's terminal 20 have the same configuration as the control unit 11, storage unit 12, and communication module 13 of the vehicle 10. The touch panel 24 is a device that receives input from the driver and a device that presents information to the driver, and is, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Touch panel, which is composed of a touch panel, It is a panel display.

[0028] The control unit 21 of the driver terminal 20 accepts input of driver information and transmits the driver information to the vehicle 10. The control unit 21 of the driver terminal 20 also transmits the driver ID to the proposer terminal 40 and transmits a response to the server 30 as to whether or not to accept the setting proposal. The control unit 21 can also request the server 30 to change the settings of the vehicle 10 by executing predetermined application software.

[0029] The proposer terminal 40 is a terminal used by a proposer who proposes to change the settings of the vehicle 10, and is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a wearable terminal, or a PC (Personal Computer). The proposer terminal 40 has a control unit 41, a storage unit 42, a communication module 43, and a touch panel 44. These components have the same configuration as the control unit 21, storage unit 22, communication module 23, and touch panel 24 of the driver terminal 20.

[0030] The control unit 41 of the proposer terminal 40 receives the driver ID from the driver terminal 20, accepts input of proposal information from the proposer, and transmits the proposal information to the server 30.

[0031] FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram showing the overall processing of the system 1 when saving proposed information according to the embodiment in the server 30. The driver inputs driver information to the driver terminal 20 via the touch panel 24. At this time, the control unit 21 of the driver terminal 20 accepts the input of the driver information (S01). The driver information may include a name and a driver ID. As another example, the driver information may include information necessary for authenticating the driver, such as a password or biometric authentication information. When the driver information is input to the driver terminal 20, the control unit 21 of the driver terminal 20 transmits the driver information to the vehicle 10 (S02). The control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 that has received the driver information stores the driver information 121 in the storage unit 12. The control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 also generates setting information corresponding to the current settings of the vehicle 10 and transmits the setting information to the server 30 (S04). The control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 may generate setting information and transmit it to the server 30 every time the setting of the vehicle 10 is changed or at predetermined time intervals. The control unit 31 of the server 30 that has received the setting information stores the setting information in the setting information DB 321 (S05).

[0032] Furthermore, the driver inputs the driver ID into the driver terminal 20 via the touch panel 24 in order to communicate the driver ID to the proposer. At this time, the driver may also input information for identifying the proposer terminal 40 (for example, the proposer terminal ID or a phone number). The control unit 21 of the driver terminal 20 accepts the input of the driver ID (S06). The control unit 21 of the driver terminal 20 notifies the proposer terminal 40 of the driver ID (S07). The proposer inputs proposal information into the proposer terminal 40 via the touch panel 44 in order to propose settings for the vehicle 10. At this time, the control unit 41 of the proposer terminal 40 accepts the input of the proposer information (S08). Note that the input of proposal information may be such that the control unit 41 of the proposer terminal 40 displays a pull-down menu or the like on the touch panel 44, from which the proposer can select. Proposer The control unit 41 of the terminal 40 transmits the proposer information to the server 30 (S09). The proposer information includes information that can identify the proposer (for example, the proposer ID or name) and the driver ID received in S07.

[0033] The control unit 31 of the server 30, which has received the proposer information, identifies the driver terminal 20 corresponding to the proposer information and transmits a notification to the corresponding driver terminal 20 that a setting proposal has been made (S10). At this time, the control unit 31 of the server 30 refers to the setting information DB 321 to identify the driver terminal 20 corresponding to the driver ID included in the proposal information. The notification includes an instruction to display on the screen of the touch panel 24 of the driver terminal 20 that a setting proposal has been made and the contents of the setting. The notification also includes an instruction to transmit a response regarding whether or not to accept the proposal. The control unit 31 may provide an option to enable the driver to temporarily use the proposed setting. Then, the driver may be able to determine whether or not to accept the proposed setting after temporarily using the proposed setting. In this case, the control unit 31 may transmit to the driver terminal 20 an instruction to display on the screen of the touch panel 24 of the driver terminal 20 a menu for selecting whether or not to temporarily use the proposed setting. The control unit 31 may also provide an option to enable the driver to use the proposed setting the next time the driver drives. For example, if the driver does not currently have the capacity to accept the change in the settings, the suggestion may be made acceptable for the next or subsequent driving. In this case, the control unit 31 may transmit to the driver terminal 20 a command to display on the screen of the touch panel 24 of the driver terminal 20 a menu for selecting whether or not to accept the suggestion for the next or subsequent driving.

[0034] Upon receiving the notification, the control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20 displays on the screen of the touch panel 24 a message indicating that a setting proposal has been made and the contents of the setting. The control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20 also displays on the screen of the touch panel 24 a GUI for inputting a response as to whether or not to accept the proposal. At this time, if the above options are selectable, the control unit 21 may also display on the screen of the touch panel 24 a GUI for selecting an option. The control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20 then accepts the response input by the driver (S11). The control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20 transmits the response to the server 30 (S12).

[0035] The control unit 31 of the server 30 that has received the response determines whether the driver has accepted the proposal (S13). If the control unit 31 of the server 30 determines that the driver has accepted the proposal, it stores the proposal information in the proposal information DB 322 (S14). On the other hand, if the control unit 31 of the server 30 determines that the driver has not accepted the proposal, it deletes the corresponding proposal information. Note that when the proposal information is deleted, the control unit 31 of the server 30 may notify the proposer terminal 40 that the proposal has been rejected.

[0036] Note that the processes of S10 to S13 may be omitted. In this case, the process of S14 is performed after the process of S09. That is, the control unit 31 of the server 30 that has received the proposal information stores the proposal information in the proposal information DB 322. Then, for example, when the driver starts driving the vehicle 10, the driver terminal 20 may be notified that there is a setting proposal.

[0037] FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing the overall processing of the system 1 when providing the vehicle 10 with a proposed setting according to the embodiment. When the control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20 detects that a driver has boarded the vehicle (S21), it transmits driver information to the vehicle 10 (S22). The driver information is stored in the storage unit 22 of the driver's terminal 20. For example, the vehicle 10 and the driver's terminal 20 may perform short-range wireless communication to detect that a driver has boarded the vehicle. The control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 identifies the driver based on the driver information (S23). Note that the control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 may identify the driver by the driver entering a password into the display device 14 of the vehicle 10 or by performing biometric authentication. When the control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 identifies the driver, it transmits the driver information to the server 30 (S24). The driver information may include a vehicle ID and a driver ID. The control unit 31 of the server 30 that has received the driver information refers to the proposal information DB 322 to identify the proposal information corresponding to the driver (S25). The control unit 31 of the server 30 extracts from the proposal information DB 322 all records in which the vehicle ID and the driver ID match.

[0038] If the proposed information is identified in S25, the control unit 31 of the server 30 transmits the proposed information to the vehicle 10 (S26). At this time, the proposed information includes a command to display a setting proposal on the screen of the touch panel 24 of the driver terminal 20. The proposed information also includes a command to input a response as to whether or not to accept the proposal. The control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 that has received the proposed information transmits the proposed information to the driver terminal 20 (S27). The proposed information includes a command to display a setting proposal on the screen of the touch panel 24 of the driver terminal 20. The proposed information also includes a command to input a response as to whether or not to accept the proposal.

[0039] The control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20, which has received the proposal information, displays on the screen of the touch panel 24 a message indicating that a setting is proposed and the content of the setting. The control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20 also displays on the screen of the touch panel 24 a GUI for inputting an answer as to whether or not to accept the proposal. The control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20 then accepts the answer input by the driver (S28). The control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20 then determines whether or not the driver has accepted the proposal (S29). The control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20, which has determined that the driver has accepted the proposal, then transmits an acceptance permission notice to the vehicle 10 (S30). The control unit 11 of the vehicle 10, which has received the acceptance permission notice, changes the setting corresponding to the proposal information (S31). On the other hand, the control unit 21 of the driver's terminal 20, which has determined that the driver has not accepted the proposal, transmits an acceptance refusal notice to the server 30 (S32). The control unit 31 of the server 30 that has received the acceptance rejection notification deletes the corresponding proposal information from the proposal information DB 322 (S33). Note that, if the driver has responded in S10 to S13 of Fig. 3 that he or she accepts the proposal, the processes from S27 to S30 and S32 to S33 of Fig. 4 can be omitted. That is, when the control unit 11 of the vehicle 10 receives the proposal information in S26, the process of S31 may be executed.

[0040] FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing in the server 30 when the proposed information according to the embodiment is stored in the server 30. The flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is executed at predetermined time intervals in the server 30. In step S101, the control unit 31 determines whether or not setting information has been received from the vehicle 10. The setting information includes a vehicle ID and a driver ID. If the control unit 31 makes a positive determination in step S101, the processing proceeds to step S102, and if the control unit 31 makes a negative determination, the processing proceeds to step S103. In step S102, the control unit 31 updates the setting information DB 321 by storing the setting information in the setting information DB 321.

[0041] In step S103, the control unit 31 determines whether or not proposer information has been received from the proposer terminal 40. The proposer information includes a vehicle ID, a driver ID, and a proposer ID. If the control unit 31 determines yes in step S103, the process proceeds to step S104, and if it determines no, the routine ends.

[0042] In step S104, the control unit 31 transmits a notification to the corresponding driver terminal 20 that there is a setting proposal. This notification includes a command to display the setting proposal and the content of the setting on the screen of the touch panel 24 of the driver terminal 20. Furthermore, this notification also includes a command to transmit a response regarding whether or not to accept the proposal. In step S105, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the driver has accepted the proposal, depending on the response from the driver terminal 20. Note that if there is no response from the driver terminal 20 within a predetermined time, it may be considered that the driver has not accepted the proposal. In step S105 If the control unit 31 makes an affirmative decision, the process proceeds to step S106, and if the control unit 31 makes a negative decision, the process proceeds to step S107. In step S106, the control unit 31 stores the proposed information in the proposed information DB 322. On the other hand, in step S107, the control unit 31 deletes the proposed information.

[0043] FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the processing in the server 30 when providing proposed settings according to the embodiment to the vehicle 10. The flowchart shown in FIG. 6 is executed at predetermined time intervals by the server 30. In step S201, the control unit 31 determines whether driver information has been received from the vehicle 10. The driver information includes a vehicle ID and a driver ID. If the control unit 31 makes a positive determination in step S201, the processing proceeds to step S202, and if the control unit 31 makes a negative determination, the routine ends. In step S202, the control unit 31 identifies proposed information from the driver information. The control unit 31 identifies proposed information by extracting all records that match the vehicle ID and driver ID included in the driver information from the proposed information DB 322.

[0044] In step S203, the control unit 31 determines whether or not there is corresponding proposed information. That is, in step S202, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the proposed information has been identified. If the control unit 31 determines yes in step S203, the process proceeds to step S204, and if the control unit 31 determines no, the routine ends. In step S204, the control unit 31 transmits the proposed information to the vehicle 10. At this time, the proposed information includes a command to display a setting proposal and the contents of the setting on the screen of the touch panel 24 of the driver terminal 20. Furthermore, the proposed information also includes a command to input a response as to whether or not to accept the proposal.

[0045] In step S205, the control unit 31 determines whether or not an acceptance refusal notification has been received from the vehicle 10. That is, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the driver has refused to accept the proposal. If an acceptance refusal notification has not been received even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the control unit 31 transmitted the proposal information in step S204, the control unit 31 determines that the proposal has been accepted. If the control unit 31 makes a positive determination in step S205, the processing proceeds to step S206, and if the control unit 31 makes a negative determination, this routine ends. In step S206, the control unit 31 deletes the corresponding proposal information from the proposal information DB 322.

[0046] As described above, according to this embodiment, the proposer can propose settings for the vehicle 10. Therefore, it is possible to suggest to the driver the use of more appropriate functions. This also makes it possible to use functions that the driver is not aware of.

[0047] <Other embodiments> The above embodiment is merely an example, and the present disclosure may be modified and implemented as appropriate within the scope of its gist. The processes and means described in the present disclosure may be freely combined and implemented as long as no technical contradictions arise. Furthermore, a process described as being performed by one device may be shared and executed by multiple devices. Alternatively, a process described as being performed by different devices may be executed by a single device.
