[0013] <Configuration of POI Information Presentation System 1> As shown in FIG. 1, the POI information presentation system 1 according to the present embodiment includes vehicles 100_1 to 100_M, a server 200, and a network N. Hereinafter, vehicles 100_1 to 100_M will be collectively referred to as "vehicle 100". In the present embodiment, the server 200 is connected to be communicable with the vehicle 100 via the network N, for example. Examples of the network N include, for example, the Internet. Details of the vehicle 100 and the server 200 will be described below.

[0014] <Configuration of Vehicle 100> As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle 100 includes a communication device 110, a navigation device 120, an ignition control device 130, a temperature sensor 140, and a vehicle control device 150.

[0015] In the present embodiment, the communication device 110 is, for example, a known wireless communication module and functions as an interface for communicating with the server 200 connected to the network N. In the present embodiment, the communication device 110 transmits parking information input from the vehicle control device 150 described later to the server 200, for example. Details of the parking information will be described later.

[0016] In this embodiment, the navigation device 120 displays the current position of the vehicle 100 on a map and provides, for example, route guidance to a destination specified by the driver. In this embodiment, the navigation device 120 stores in advance, for example, map information, home position information, and POI information. In this embodiment, the navigation device 120 acquires position information (for example, latitude / longitude / altitude) and time information of the vehicle 100 based on radio waves received from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites, for example. In this embodiment, the navigation device 120 outputs, for example, the acquired position information and time information of the vehicle 100 to the vehicle control device 150, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the navigation device 120 detects user operations based on sensor outputs such as touch panels and switches (not shown). In this embodiment, for example, when the navigation device 120 detects a user operation requesting the presentation of POI information, the navigation device 120 displays the POI information that has been pre-stored in a memory (not shown) provided in the navigation device 120 on a display panel (not shown). In this embodiment, for example, when the navigation device 120 detects a user operation requesting the presentation of POI information, the navigation device 120 outputs a POI information acquisition request to the vehicle control device 150, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the navigation device 120 displays POI information acquired from a vehicle control device 150 (described later) on a display panel (not shown), for example. In this embodiment, the navigation device 120 calculates the travel distance of the vehicle 100 when a travel distance information acquisition request is input from the vehicle control device 150, which will be described later, for example. The travel distance may be, for example, the distance traveled by the vehicle 100 from home to the current position, or the straight-line distance from home to the current position. In this embodiment, the navigation device 120 outputs, for example, calculated travel distance information to the vehicle control device 150, which will be described later.

[0017] In this embodiment, the ignition control device 130 controls, for example, the on / off of the ignition of the vehicle 100 . In this embodiment, the ignition control device 130 outputs, for example, information relating to the on / off state of the ignition of the vehicle 100 (hereinafter referred to as "on / off information") to the vehicle control device 150, which will be described later.

[0018] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 140 is, for example, a temperature sensor installed outside the passenger compartment of the vehicle 100, and detects the air temperature around the vehicle 100. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 140 outputs, for example, temperature information around the vehicle 100 to a vehicle control device 150, which will be described later.

[0019] The vehicle control device 150 is configured to include one or more processors and one or more memories communicatively connected to the one or more processors. As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle control device 150 in this embodiment includes a processor 151 and a memory 152. The processor 151 and the memory 152 input and output various types of information. The processor 151 will be described later.

[0020] The memory 152 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like, which are not shown. In this embodiment, the memory 152 stores, for example, a control program and various data input from the processor 151, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the memory 152 stores, in advance, for example, a vehicle ID (for example, a vehicle identification number, etc.).

[0021] In this embodiment, the processor 151 controls the entire vehicle 100 in accordance with a control program stored in the memory 152, for example. In this embodiment, for example, when a POI information acquisition request is input from the navigation device 120, the processor 151 transmits a POI information transmission request to the server 200 via the communication device 110. In this embodiment, when the processor 151 acquires POI information from the server 200 via the communication device 110, for example, the processor 151 outputs the acquired POI information to the navigation device 120.

[0022] In this embodiment, for example, when the ignition of the vehicle 100 is turned off, the processor 151 transmits parking information including at least the position information of the vehicle 100 to the server 200 via the communication device 110. In this embodiment, when the processor 151 determines that the ignition of the vehicle 100 has been turned off, for example, based on ignition on / off information input from the ignition control device 130, the processor 151 acquires location information and time information from the navigation device 120. In this embodiment, when the processor 151 determines that the ignition of the vehicle 100 has been turned off, for example, based on ignition on / off information input from the ignition control device 130, the processor 151 acquires temperature information from the temperature sensor 140. In this embodiment, when the processor 151 determines that the ignition of the vehicle 100 has been turned off, for example, based on ignition on / off information input from the ignition control device 130, the processor 151 outputs a travel distance acquisition request to the navigation device 120 and acquires travel distance information. In this embodiment, when the processor 151 determines that the ignition of the vehicle 100 has been turned off, for example, based on the ignition on / off information input from the ignition control device 130, the processor 151 outputs parking information linked to the vehicle ID (e.g., vehicle identification number, etc.) of the vehicle 100, location information, time information, temperature information, and travel distance information to the communication device 110.

[0023] <Configuration of Server 200> As shown in FIG. 3, the server 200 includes a controller 210 and a communication device 220. The controller 210 will be described later.

[0024] In this embodiment, the communication device 220 is, for example, a known communication module, and functions as an interface for communicating with the vehicle 100 connected to the network N. In this embodiment, for example, when the communication device 220 receives parking information from the vehicle 100, the communication device 220 outputs the received parking information to the controller 210. In this embodiment, for example, when the communication device 220 receives a POI information transmission request from the vehicle 100, the communication device 220 outputs the POI information transmission request to the controller 210. In this embodiment, when POI information is input from the controller 210, for example, the communication device 220 transmits the input POI information to the vehicle 100 via the network N.

[0025] <Configuration of controller 210> The controller 210 includes one or more processors and one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the controller 210 includes a processor 230 and a memory 240. The processor 230 is described below.

[0026] The memory 240 includes a ROM, a RAM, and the like, which are not shown. In this embodiment, the memory 240 stores, for example, a control program and various data input from the processor 230 (described later).

[0027] In this embodiment, the memory 240 includes a parking information storage unit 241 and a POI information storage unit 242.

[0028] The parking information storage unit 241 stores parking information received from a plurality of vehicles 100. In this embodiment, the parking information storage unit 241 stores parking information input from the processor 230, for example. As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the parking information storage unit 241 stores, for example, the vehicle ID of the vehicle 100 that transmitted the parking information, the location information (latitude / longitude / altitude) of the vehicle 100 when the ignition was turned off, temperature information, and travel distance information. In this embodiment, the parking information storage unit 241 stores, for example, all of the parking information received from the vehicle 100.

[0029] In this embodiment, the POI information storage unit 242 stores, for example, POI information generated by the processor 230. The POI information stored in the POI information storage unit 242 will be described later.

[0030] <Configuration of the processor 230> As shown in FIG. 3, the processor 230 includes a POI information generation unit 231 and a server control unit 232. Each part of the processor 230 and the memory 240 input and output various types of information via the bus line BL.

[0031] The POI information generating unit 231 generates POI information based on the parking information. If there is a predetermined number or more pieces of position information within a predetermined range, the POI information generating unit 231 generates POI information including the position information. In this embodiment, the POI information generation unit 231 refers to a data group of location information included in the parking information stored in the parking information storage unit 241, and, for example, as shown in Figure 5, if 100 or more (more than a predetermined number) pieces of location information are confirmed within a circle with a radius of 50 m (within a predetermined range), it determines that a parking lot for a facility, tourist spot, etc. is located within the circle with a radius of 50 m. In other words, the POI information generation unit 231 collects parking history information (location information of where the vehicle 100 was parked) from all vehicles 100 connected to the network N, and if it detects a history of many vehicles 100 parking in a limited area, it determines that a POI (e.g., a facility, tourist spot, etc.) exists in the vicinity of the limited area. In this embodiment, for example, when it is determined that a parking lot exists at a facility, tourist spot, or the like, the POI information generating unit 231 generates POI information including position information of the limited area.

[0032] The POI information generating unit 231 generates POI information to which genre information determined based on at least one of location information, time information, temperature information, and travel distance information is added. In this embodiment, the POI information generation unit 231 determines the genre information to be added to the POI information based on, for example, at least one of the location information, time information, temperature information, and travel distance information contained in the parking information stored in the parking information storage unit 241. An example of a method for determining the genre information to be added to the POI information will be described below. In this embodiment, the POI information generation unit 231 determines the genre information to be added to the POI information based on parking information (location information, time information, temperature information, and travel distance information) received from a vehicle 100 parked within a predetermined range (within a circle with a radius of 50 m), for example. In this embodiment, the POI information generation unit 231 refers to the time information, and if, for example, the proportion of parked vehicles 100 parked between 11:00 and 13:00 and after 19:00 is 70% or more, it determines the genre information to be added to the POI information to be "eatery / restaurant." In this embodiment, the POI information generation unit 231 refers to travel distance information, and if, for example, the proportion of vehicles 100 with travel distances of 50 km or more is 70% or more, it determines the genre information to be added to the POI information to be "tourist spot." In this embodiment, the POI information generation unit 231 refers to time information, and if it determines that there is a tendency for the number of parked vehicles 100 to increase during a specific period, for example, from March to April, it determines the genre information to be added to the POI information to be "cherry blossom spot." In this embodiment, the POI information generation unit 231 refers to the location information, and if, for example, the altitude is 100 m or more and the distance to the sea is within 300 m, it determines the genre information to be added to the POI information to be "viewpoint." In this embodiment, for example, if the altitude is 1500 m or higher and the temperature is 0° C. or lower, the POI information generating unit 231 determines the genre information to be added to the POI information to be "ski resort." In this embodiment, the POI information generating unit 231 stores the POI information to which the genre information has been added in the POI information storage unit 242 via the bus line BL, for example. The POI information generation unit 231 is not limited to the above-mentioned method of determining genre information, as long as it can determine genre information based on at least one of location information, time information, temperature information, and travel distance information.

[0033] In this embodiment, the server control unit 232 controls the entire server 200 in accordance with a control program stored in the memory 240, for example. In this embodiment, when the server control unit 232 receives parking information from the vehicle 100 via the communication device 220, for example, the server control unit 232 stores the received parking information in the parking information storage unit 241 via the bus line BL. The server control unit 232 transmits the POI information generated by the POI information generation unit 231 to the vehicle 100 . In this embodiment, when the server control unit 232 receives a POI information transmission request from the vehicle 100, for example, via the communication device 220, it transmits the POI information stored in the POI information storage unit 242 to the vehicle 100.

[0034] <Processing flow of the vehicle 100> The flow of processing for transmitting parking information to the server 200 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0035] Processor 151 determines whether the ignition of vehicle 100 has been turned off (step S110). When the processor 151 determines that the ignition of the vehicle 100 is not turned off based on the ignition on / off information acquired from the ignition control device 130 ("NO" in step S110), the processor 151 returns the processing and transitions to a standby state. When the processor 151 determines that the ignition of the vehicle 100 has been turned off based on the ignition on / off information acquired from the ignition control device 130 ("YES" in step S110), the processor 151 shifts the processing to step S120.

[0036] Processor 151 acquires the position information and time information of vehicle 100 from navigation device 120 (step S120), and proceeds to step S130.

[0037] Processor 151 acquires temperature information from temperature sensor 140 (step S130), and proceeds to step S140.

[0038] Processor 151 outputs a travel distance acquisition request to navigation device 120 and acquires travel distance information (step S140).

[0039] Processor 151 transmits parking information linked to the vehicle ID (e.g., vehicle identification number, etc.) of vehicle 100, the location information and time information acquired in step S120, the temperature information acquired in step S130, and the travel distance information acquired in step S140 to server 200 via communication device 110 (step S150), and ends the processing.

[0040] <Processing flow of the server 200> The flow of the POI information generation process in the server 200 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0041] The POI information generation unit 231 checks the location information stored in the parking information storage unit 241 and determines whether there are a predetermined number or more (e.g., 100 or more) of location information within a predetermined range (e.g., within a circle with a radius of 50 m) (step S210). The POI information generation unit 231 checks the location information stored in the parking information storage unit 241, and if it determines that there is not a predetermined number or more of location information within a predetermined range ("NO" in step S210), it terminates the processing. The POI information generation unit 231 checks the location information stored in the parking information storage unit 241, and if it determines that there are a predetermined number or more pieces of location information within a predetermined range ("YES" in step S210), it transitions the processing to step S220.

[0042] The POI information generation unit 231 determines the genre information to be added to the POI information based on at least one of the location information, time information, temperature information, and travel distance information stored in the parking information storage unit 241 (step S220), and then proceeds to step S230.

[0043] The POI information generating unit 231 stores the POI information to which the genre information determined in step S220 has been added in the POI information storage unit 242 (step S230), and moves the process to step S240.

[0044] The server control unit 232 determines whether or not a POI information transmission request has been received from the vehicle 100 (step S240). If the server control unit 232 determines that a POI information transmission request has not been received from the vehicle 100 ("NO" in step S240), it ends the process. If the server control unit 232 determines that a POI information transmission request has been received from the vehicle 100 ("YES" in step S240), the server control unit 232 moves the process to step S250.

[0045] The server control unit 232 transmits the POI information stored in the POI information storage unit 242 to the vehicle 100 (step S250), and ends the process.

[0046] <Actions and Effects> As described above, the POI information presentation system 1 according to this embodiment includes the vehicle 100 and the server 200. The vehicle 100 is equipped with a communication device 110 that transmits parking information including at least the location information of the vehicle 100 to the server 200 when the ignition is turned off, and the server 200 is equipped with a parking information storage unit 241 that stores parking information received from multiple vehicles 100, a POI information storage unit 242 that stores POI information, a POI information generation unit 231 that generates POI information based on the location information included in the parking information, and a server control unit 232 that causes the POI information generated in the POI information generation unit 231 to be transmitted to the vehicle 100. If there is a predetermined number or more pieces of position information within a predetermined range, the POI information generating unit 231 generates POI information including the position information. In other words, the server 200 collects parking history information (location information of where the vehicle 100 was parked) from all vehicles 100 connected to the network N, and if it detects a history of many vehicles 100 being parked in a limited area, it determines that there are facilities, tourist attractions, etc. (POI) in the vicinity of the limited area. This allows the POI information presentation system 1 to generate POI information even for newly built facilities, tourist spots, and the like. Depending on the parking history information of the vehicle 100, the POI information presentation system 1 can generate POI information on the day a facility or the like opens, and therefore can present the latest POI information to the user.

[0047] The parking information stored in the server 200 of the POI information presentation system 1 according to this embodiment further includes time information, temperature information, and travel distance information, and the POI information generation unit 231 generates POI information to which genre information determined based on at least one of the location information, time information, temperature information, and travel distance information has been added. In other words, when the POI information generation unit 231 generates POI information based on the location information included in the parking information, it refers to the location information, time information, temperature information, and travel distance information to determine the genre information (e.g., restaurant / tourist spot, etc.) to add to the POI information. As a result, the POI information presentation system 1 can determine the genre information with high accuracy even for newly built facilities, tourist spots, and the like.

[0048] When the server 200 of the POI information presentation system 1 according to this embodiment receives a POI information transmission request from the vehicle 100 , the server 200 transmits the POI information stored in the POI information storage unit 242 to the vehicle 100 . That is, the vehicle 100 can acquire POI information such as newly opened facilities and tourist spots from the server 200. This allows the vehicle 100 to present POI information such as newly opened facilities and tourist spots to the user.

[0049] <Variation 1> The above-mentioned POI information presentation system 1 only needs to acquire parking information when the vehicle 100 is parked in a facility parking lot, etc., so for example, when the door of the vehicle 100 is locked by the user, the parking information may be transmitted to the server 200.

[0050] <Variation 2> The processing executed by the processor 151 and memory 152 of the vehicle control device 150 described above may be executed by a processor and memory included in the navigation device 120.

[0051] <Variation 3> The POI information generating unit 231 of the above-described POI information presentation system 1 may estimate regular holidays, business hours, etc. of facilities (POIs) based on time information included in the parking information. The POI information generating unit 231, for example, checks the day of the week on which the vehicle 100 transmitted the parking information to the server 200, and estimates the regular closing days of the facility. This allows the POI information presentation system 1 to present more detailed POI information to the user of the vehicle 100.

[0052] <Variation 4> The vehicle 100 of the above-described POI information presentation system 1 may transmit parking information including video information of the area around the vehicle 100 to the server 200 . That is, the vehicle 100 captures an image of the area around the vehicle 100 when the ignition is turned off, and transmits parking information including the captured image information to the server 200. The server 200 performs image analysis of the received video information and acquires detailed information about the detected facilities and the like. This allows the user of the vehicle 100 to be presented with more detailed and accurate POI information.

[0053] <Variation 5> For example, when the POI information generation unit 231 of the above-described POI information presentation system 1 confirms multiple pieces of position information of the same vehicle within a predetermined range (a radius of 50 m), the second and subsequent pieces of position information are not counted. This allows the POI information presentation system 1 to avoid detecting, for example, the home or parking lot of the driver of the vehicle 100 as a POI.

[0054] <Variation 6> The POI information generation unit 231 of the above-described POI information presentation system 1 may add popularity information to the POI information based on the number of pieces of location information that can be confirmed within a predetermined range (for example, a radius of 50 m). For example, when 1000 or more pieces of location information are detected within a predetermined range (for example, a radius of 50 m), the POI information generating unit 231 adds popularity information such as "popular spot" to the POI information. For example, if the number of pieces of location information that could be confirmed within a predetermined range in the past week is 500 or more, the POI information generation unit 231 adds popularity information such as "super popular spot" to the POI information. This allows the user of the vehicle 100 to be presented with information about the popularity of new POIs.

[0055] The POI information presentation system 1 of the present invention can be realized by recording the processing of the above-mentioned POI information generation unit 231 and server control unit 232 on a recording medium readable by a computer system, and loading and executing the program recorded on this recording medium into memory. The computer system here includes the OS and hardware such as peripheral devices.

[0056] If the above computer system uses a WWW (World Wide Web) system, it also includes the homepage providing environment (or display environment).
