Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a card set for exploring driving mindset.

Background Art

[0002] In order to cultivate a safe driving mindset, enlightenment activities are carried out in license renewal training, traffic safety classrooms, etc.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] The efforts in license renewal training and traffic safety classrooms are short-term and single-shot, and have not achieved sufficient results in cultivating a safe driving mindset. In order to cultivate a safe driving mindset, it is effective for the driver to first discover their own problems, formulate an action plan to solve those problems, execute along that plan, and manage the progress. However, in this process, there is a problem that the step of setting goals of "what kind of state to aim for", which is originally necessary, is easily missing when discovering problems.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a tool that can support goal setting related to a driver's driving with a simple configuration.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The card set for exploring driving mindset according to one aspect of the present invention consists of N cards, and on each card, a sentence representing a desire related to the driving of a different vehicle is displayed. The sentences are classified into M (2 ≤ M < N) attributes, and an identifier corresponding to the attribute is assigned to each card.

Effects of the Invention

[0006] According to the above card set for exploring driving mindset, it is possible to support goal setting related to a driver's driving with a simple configuration.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0007] [Figure 1] It is a front view of a card of the card set for exploring driving mindset according to an embodiment. [Figure 2A] It is a table showing the attributes, identifiers, management codes, and sentences of each card of the card set for exploring driving mindset according to an example. [Figure 2B] It is a continuation of FIG. 2A.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a card set S for exploring driving mindset according to an embodiment (hereinafter, also simply referred to as card set S) will be described.

[0009] The card set S is composed of N cards 1. As illustrated in FIG. 1, each card 1 is, for example, rectangular. The front surface of the card 1 includes, for example, a central portion where a sentence 2 is displayed and an outer frame portion 3a having the function of an identifier 3. The back surface of the card 1 is not particularly limited as long as the front surface of the card 1 cannot be seen through.

[0010] The sentence 2 is different for each card 1, and each represents a desire related to the driving of a vehicle. Examples of desires include "aspirations", "hopes", "purposes", "goals", "beliefs", "concepts", "visions", "thoughts", etc. that a driver has regarding driving. The display form of the sentence 2 (for example, language used, font, color of characters, number of characters, layout of characters, etc.) is not particularly limited.

[0011] The N sentences 2 are classified into M (2≦M<N) attributes A according to their contents. The classification method is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to classify them so that desires related to the driving of a vehicle can be clearly distinguished for each attribute A. The attribute A may have a single - layer structure or a multi - layer structure.

[0012] An identifier 3 is assigned to each attribute A. That is, each card 1 is assigned an identifier 3 according to the attribute A of the sentence 2 of the card 1. Examples of the identifier 3 include a color, a symbol, a mark, a diagram, an identification code, a wireless tag, and a combination thereof. Examples of the identification code include a QR code (registered trademark) and a barcode, and examples of the wireless tag include an IC tag and an RFID. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the outer frame 3a is colored with a color (first identifier) ​​as the identifier 3. Note that the color is not limited to a single color and may be multiple colors. Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 1, marks (second identifiers) 3b having a function similar to that of the color may be attached to the diagonal corners of the center of the card 1. By attaching the marks 3b, identification becomes easier.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, numbers may be assigned to diagonal corners of the card 1 as management codes 4. Numbers are assigned to each card 1 to facilitate management of the cards 1 after use of the card set S, for example. Numbers may be reassigned for each attribute A, or each unique number may be assigned to each card 1 in the card set S. The management codes 4 may be letters or symbols.

[0014] <Example> A card set S1 for exploring driving mindsets according to an embodiment will be described below. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the card set S1 according to the embodiment is composed of 40 different cards 1 (N=40). Each card 1 displays a sentence 2 expressing an elderly driver's desires regarding driving. The sentences 2 are classified into four types of attributes A, specifically, "the driver's inner self," "the driver's relationship with the physical aspects," "the driver's relationship with his / her family and friends," and "the driver's relationship with society" (M=4). Each card 1 is assigned an identifier 3 corresponding to the attribute A, which is a color of "red," "blue," "green," or "yellow," and a mark 3b of "heart," "spade," "clover," or "diamond."

[0015] The following describes how to use the card set S1 according to the embodiment, but the usage is not limited to this.

[0016] When playing with multiple players, first shuffle the card set S1 and deal five cards 1 to each player. Each player places the cards 1 they were dealt face up in their hand. The remaining cards in the card set S1 are placed face down as a deck (draw pile). Then, each player takes turns performing the following operations. First, remove one card 1 from the deck (draw pile) and add it to their hand. Next, select the card 1 from their hand that differs most from their desire and place it face up next to the deck (draw pile) as a new deck (return pile). The next player repeats the same operation. The operation ends when there are no more decks (draw piles). Finally, each player checks the statements 2 displayed on the five cards 1 in their hand and the attribute A of each card 1, and shares the contents with the other players. Each player can check the classification of each attribute at any time.

[0017] When playing alone, first, shuffle the card set S1 and place it face down as the deck (draw pile). Next, take five cards 1 from the deck (draw pile), and select one card 1 with the sentence 2 that best matches your desire, and keep it as your hand. Repeat this process eight times. Next, examine the sentences 2 displayed on the eight cards 1 in your hand, and select the five that best match your desire. Finally, check the sentences 2 displayed on each of the five cards 1 in your remaining hand, and the classification of attribute A for each card 1.

[0018] Traditionally, driving has been thought of as a means to get to a destination. However, this device is unique in that it encourages a change in thinking, from viewing driving simply as a means of transportation to viewing it as a goal in itself. When people realize that "driving is a goal in itself," the following psychological change is thought to occur. When people realize that "driving is a goal in itself," they develop a desire to explore "the purpose of driving for them." Once they find that goal, they desire to achieve it. Therefore, they create a plan to achieve that goal and execute it according to that plan. This device is intended to utilize this psychological change to encourage behavioral change in drivers.

[0019] In many cases, one's "goals for driving" cannot be achieved in the short term. However, by continuing to drive over the long term, the chances of achieving those goals increase. Safe driving is essential to continuing to drive for a long time. This creates a strong desire to "not get into an accident," which becomes the driving force behind increasing the driver's awareness of safe driving.

[0020] Many people are not conscious of or aware of their own driving goals. However, there are many cases where people react emotionally to someone else's criticism of their driving. This is considered evidence that many people have driving goals and objectives within them. These goals and objectives are usually stored deep in the mind, in the subconscious, without the person even being aware of them.

[0021] It has been reported that drivers tend to become more confident in their driving as they get older. It is believed that the confidence of older drivers is rooted in the driving goals and objectives stored deep within their minds. The core of this idea is to uncover and clarify the driving goals and objectives that are not clearly stated and are so vague that even the driver himself is unaware of their existence or content. This process is an important factor in promoting behavioral change and leading to safe driving for older drivers.

[0022] In order to clarify the driving purpose and goal hidden deep in one's heart, internal dialogue with oneself is essential. However, it is difficult to prompt abstract and effective introspection with open questions in the 5W1H format. In such cases, closed questions in the Yes / No format are effective. By answering binary-choice questions, the subconscious is activated, and a certain degree of clarification becomes possible. However, in a simple question-and-answer format, the answers remain superficial, and it is difficult to reach the deep psychology.

[0023] (1) The driving mind exploration card set S according to the embodiment consists of N cards 1, and on each card 1, a sentence 2 representing a desire related to driving a vehicle different from each other is displayed. The sentence 2 is classified into M attributes A (2 ≤ M < N), and an identifier 3 corresponding to the attribute A is assigned to each card 1.

[0024] The user of the driving mind exploration card set S makes a choice of keeping the card 1 with the content closer to the desire related to driving their own vehicle and discarding the other cards 1 from among the multiple cards 1. In particular, even when multiple cards 1 that equally match the user's desire appear simultaneously, the user is forced to make an ultimate choice of narrowing it down to one instead of adopting all of them. In the process of making this ultimate choice, the user is compelled to judge based on the values deep in their heart. This process of choice acts on the user's deep psychology, serves as an opportunity to consider the desires and values sought in driving, and is strongly impressed on the user's mind. Through this process of the ultimate choice of narrowing it down to one, the user becomes aware of their own values and can discover desires related to driving that they have never considered before. As a result, the user can clarify the hitherto vague desires related to their own driving.

[0025] By clarifying their own driving aspirations, users can easily set specific goals to achieve those aspirations and take concrete actions to drive safely. In this way, the card set S can support drivers in setting driving goals with a simple configuration.

[0026] Furthermore, through the aforementioned selection process, the user can articulate their own driving aspirations from the content of sentence 2 displayed on the finally selected card 1, or from the content that came to mind during the selection process. This allows the user to clearly communicate their own driving aspirations to others that they have not been able to communicate well to those around them. Furthermore, when the user has communicated their driving aspirations to others, they can accurately communicate to them the things they should pay attention to when driving.

[0027] Furthermore, the user can receive feedback on the characteristics and points to note for each selected card 1. This feedback allows the user to understand the characteristics of his or her own desires regarding driving and the points to note in realizing those desires.

[0028] The Driving Mindset Exploration Card Set S is in a physical card format. This allows even elderly drivers with low IT literacy to intuitively use the Driving Mindset Exploration Card Set S without needing any special knowledge or skills to operate digital devices. In addition, the cards 1 can be freely rearranged at hand to suit the user's thought process, allowing for flexible operation at the user's own pace of thinking. In this way, the Driving Mindset Exploration Card Set S's card format allows drivers of a wide range of ages to engage in deep introspection at their own pace.

[0029] (2) Attribute A may include the driver's inner self, the driver's relationship with the physical world, the driver's relationship with his / her family and friends, and the driver's relationship with society. By checking Attribute A of Card 1 that the user finally selected, the user can understand the tendency of his / her desires or values ​​regarding driving a vehicle.

[0030] (3) The identifier 3 may include one or more of a color, a symbol, a mark, a figure, an identification code, and a wireless tag. This allows for easy statistical processing when analyzing the trends in user values.

[0031] In the above embodiment, an example for elderly drivers was shown, but the content of Sentence 2 can be adapted for younger drivers, who have a higher accident rate than other age groups, or for student cyclists, who have a higher accident rate than other age groups. For example, a card set for younger drivers can have content that helps them to be more aware of their connection with society through driving and their responsibilities as drivers. Also, a card set for student cyclists can have content that helps them become more aware of their own driving characteristics and to be more conscious of safer driving. [Explanation of symbols]
