[0039] The operation of the information processing device 20 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. This operation corresponds to a method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0040] Step S100 : The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 acquires the position information of the vehicle 10 .

[0041] Specifically, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 acquires location information indicating the location of the vehicle 10 acquired by the positioning unit 14 of the vehicle 10 from the vehicle 10 via the communication unit 22. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 stores the acquired location information in the storage unit 23.

[0042] Step S101: The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 acquires season information for the position indicated by the position information acquired in step S100.

[0043] Specifically, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 acquires seasonal information for the position indicated by the position information acquired in step S100 from a server owned by a business providing seasonal information, etc., via the communication unit 22. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 stores the acquired seasonal information in the storage unit 23. Note that, for example, in Japan, the seasonal information may be information indicating that March to May is spring, June to August is summer, September to November is autumn, and December to February is winter, but is not limited thereto. For example, the seasonal information may be information indicating that March to November is other than winter, and December to February is winter.

[0044] Step S102: The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 identifies a driving history in a coastal area for each season indicated by the seasonal information acquired in step S101, based on the position information acquired in step S100.

[0045] First, a case where the number of trips corresponding to the travel history or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips (for example, 0 to 100%) is specified will be specifically described. First, when the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 judges that the travel position of the vehicle 10 in one trip is included in the coastal zone based on the position information stored in the storage unit 23 in step S100, it determines that the trip is a trip including travel in the coastal zone. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 counts up the number of trips including travel in the coastal zone. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 specifies the season in which the trip was made from the seasonal information stored in the storage unit 23 in step S101. The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 performs this series of processes for all trips. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 stores the number of trips including travel in the coastal zone or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips in the storage unit 23 in association with information indicating the specified season. For example, the storage unit 23 of the information processing device 20 stores the number of trips including driving in coastal areas in seasons other than winter from March to November (i.e., spring, summer, and fall) or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips, and the number of trips including driving in coastal areas in winter from December to February or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips. Note that a coastal area is an area within a predetermined range from the coastline, but is not limited to this. Also, one on-period of the ignition switch of the vehicle 10 is defined as one trip.

[0046] Next, a case where the accumulated travel distance corresponding to the travel history is specified will be specifically described. First, when the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 determines that the travel position of the vehicle 10 is included in the coastal zone based on the position information stored in the storage unit 23 in step S100, the control unit 21 adds the accumulated travel distance in the coastal zone. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 specifies the season in which the travel was performed from the seasonal information stored in the storage unit 23 in step S101. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 stores the accumulated travel distance in the coastal zone in the storage unit 23 in association with the information indicating the specified season. For example, the storage unit 23 of the information processing device 20 stores the accumulated travel distance in the coastal zone in seasons other than winter (spring, summer, and autumn) from March to November and the accumulated travel distance in the coastal zone in winter from December to February.

[0047] Finally, a case where the accumulated driving time corresponding to the driving history is specified will be specifically described. First, when the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 determines that the driving position of the vehicle 10 is included in the coastal zone based on the position information stored in the storage unit 23 in step S100, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 adds the accumulated driving time in the coastal zone. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 specifies the season in which the driving was performed from the seasonal information stored in the storage unit 23 in step S101. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 stores the accumulated driving time in the coastal zone in the storage unit 23 in association with information indicating the specified season. For example, the storage unit 23 of the information processing device 20 stores the accumulated driving time in the coastal zone in seasons other than winter (spring, summer, and autumn) from March to November, and the accumulated driving time in the coastal zone in winter from December to February.

[0048] Step S103: The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 identifies a driving history in a heavy snowfall area for each season indicated by the seasonal information acquired in step S101, based on the location information acquired in step S100.

[0049] Here, a case where the number of trips corresponding to the driving history or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips is specified will be specifically described. In addition, when the cumulative driving distance or cumulative driving time corresponding to the driving history is specified, it may be performed in the same manner as in step S102. First, when the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 judges that the driving position of the vehicle 10 in one trip is included in a heavy snow area based on the position information stored in the storage unit 23 in step S100, it determines that the trip is a trip including driving in the heavy snow area. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 counts up the number of trips including driving in the heavy snow area. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 specifies the season in which the trip was made from the seasonal information stored in the storage unit 23 in step S101. The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 performs this series of processes for all trips. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 stores the number of trips including driving in the heavy snow area or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips in the storage unit 23 in association with information indicating the specified season. For example, the memory unit 23 of the information processing device 20 stores the number of trips including driving in heavy snow areas in seasons other than winter from March to November (i.e., spring, summer, and autumn) or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips, and the number of trips including driving in heavy snow areas in winter from December to February or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips. Note that a heavy snow area is an area where the amount of snowfall exceeds a predetermined threshold, but is not limited to this. For example, a heavy snow area may be an area where snow-melting agents are spread on road surfaces.

[0050] Step S104: The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 outputs a vehicle chart in which the driving history in the coastal area identified in step S102 and the driving history in the heavy snow area identified in step S103 are displayed by season.

[0051] Here, a case where a vehicle chart is output that displays the number of trips corresponding to the driving history or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips will be specifically described. A vehicle chart is output that displays the cumulative driving distance or cumulative driving time corresponding to the driving history, in a similar manner. First, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 acquires from the storage unit 23 the number of trips including driving in coastal areas or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips for each season, and the number of trips including driving in heavy snow areas or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips for each season. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 generates information indicating a vehicle chart that displays the number of trips including driving in coastal areas or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips for each season, and the number of trips including driving in heavy snow areas or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips for each season. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 stores the information indicating the generated vehicle chart in the storage unit 23. Then, when the control unit 31 of the terminal device 30 accepts an operation by the user via the input unit 34 to request output of the vehicle medical record, the control unit 31 transmits a signal requesting output of the vehicle medical record to the information processing device 20 via the communication unit 32. Then, when the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 receives the signal from the terminal device 30 via the communication unit 22, the control unit 21 transmits information indicating the vehicle medical record stored in the storage unit 23 to the terminal device 30. Then, the control unit 31 of the terminal device 30 outputs the vehicle medical record acquired from the information processing device 20 to the user via the output unit 35. Thereby, by visually checking the vehicle medical record, the user can grasp the number of trips including driving in coastal areas or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips, and the number of trips including driving in heavy snow areas or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips, for each season.For example, the output section 35 of the terminal device 30 may display, on a screen, a vehicle chart showing the number of trips including driving in coastal areas or the ratio of the number of such trips to the total number of trips and the number of trips including driving in heavy snow areas or the ratio of the number of such trips to the total number of trips during seasons other than winter from March to November (i.e., spring, summer, and autumn), as well as the number of trips including driving in coastal areas or the ratio of the number of such trips to the total number of trips and the number of trips including driving in heavy snow areas or the ratio of the number of such trips to the total number of trips during winter seasons from December to February.

[0052] Instead of the above-mentioned process, in step S104, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 may output a vehicle chart in which the driving history in the heavy snow area identified in step S103 is hidden and the driving history in the coastal area identified in step S102 is displayed when the season indicated by the seasonal information acquired in step S101 is other than winter. In this case, for example, the output unit 35 of the terminal device 30 displays a vehicle chart in which the number of trips including driving in the heavy snow area other than winter from March to November or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips is hidden and the number of trips including driving in the coastal area or the ratio of the number of trips to the total number of trips is displayed. In addition, in the case where the season indicated by the seasonal information acquired in step S101 is winter, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 may output a vehicle chart in which the driving history in the coastal area identified in step S102 is hidden and the driving history in the heavy snow area identified in step S103 is displayed. In this case, for example, the number of trips including driving in coastal areas during the winter season from December to February or the ratio of such trips to the total number of trips is not displayed on the output section 35 of the terminal device 30, and a vehicle chart is displayed on a screen showing the number of trips including driving in heavy snow areas or the ratio of such trips to the total number of trips.

[0053] As described above, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 according to this embodiment acquires position information of the vehicle 10. Furthermore, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 acquires seasonal information for the position indicated by the acquired position information. Furthermore, based on the acquired position information, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 identifies the driving history in the coastal zone for each season indicated by the acquired seasonal information.

[0054] According to this configuration, the driving history in the coastal area is specified for each season. Therefore, by outputting the specified driving history to the vehicle chart, the influence of salt damage can be taken into consideration when assessing the vehicle 10. Therefore, the technology for creating the vehicle chart can be improved.

[0055] Although the present disclosure has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various modifications and alterations based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and alterations are included in the scope of the present disclosure. For example, the functions included in each component or step can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and multiple components or steps can be combined or divided into one.

[0056] As a modified example, an embodiment in which the configuration and operation of the information processing device 20 are distributed among a plurality of computers that can communicate with each other is also possible. Also, for example, an embodiment in which some or all of the components of the information processing device 20 are provided in the vehicle 10 is also possible. For example, a car navigation device mounted in the vehicle 10 may include some or all of the components of the information processing device 20.

[0057] As a modified example, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 may specify the driving history in an unpaved area for each season indicated by the seasonal information acquired in step S101 based on the location information acquired in step S100. For other processes, the explanation in the above-mentioned embodiment is applied. Note that the unpaved area is, but is not limited to, a desert area or a mountain area where there is more sand or mud that may cause corrosion of the vehicle 10 than in a paved area.

[0058] As a modified example, an embodiment is also possible in which a general-purpose computer functions as the information processing device 20 according to the above-described embodiment. Specifically, a program describing the processing contents for realizing each function of the information processing device 20 according to the above-described embodiment is stored in the memory of the general-purpose computer, and the program is read and executed by a processor. Therefore, the invention according to this embodiment can also be realized as a program executable by a processor, or a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores the program.
