[0030] The storage unit 33 includes at least one semiconductor memory, at least one magnetic memory, at least one optical memory, or any combination thereof. The semiconductor memory is, for example, a RAM or a ROM. The RAM is, for example, an SRAM or a DRAM. The ROM is, for example, an EEPROM.

In this embodiment, the data used in the operation of the information processing device 30 includes a system program, an application program, a database, and the like.

[0031] The operation of the information processing device 30 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. This operation corresponds to a method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0032] Step S100: The control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 acquires vehicle information from a DCM that corresponds to the communication device 20 mounted on the vehicle 10.

[0033] Specifically, the control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 acquires vehicle information from a DCM equivalent to the communication device 20 via the communication unit 32. The vehicle information includes, for example, information indicating the value of the odometer, the presence or absence of an engine abnormality, the presence or absence of a transmission abnormality, the presence or absence of an abnormality in the brake pressure, the presence or absence of an abnormality in the motor, the presence or absence of an abnormality in the battery, the presence or absence of an illumination of a warning light, the presence or absence of a diagnostic code detection, the presence or absence of an impact detection, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0034] Step S101: The control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 acquires generation information of the DCM that corresponds to the communication device 20 mounted on the vehicle 10.

[0035] Specifically, the control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 acquires generation information from a DCM corresponding to the communication device 20 via the communication unit 22. The generation information includes, for example, information indicating that the generation is "15CY or earlier", "15RC", "17CY", "18DOP", "18DCM", "17plus", or "19DCM", but is not limited to these.

[0036] Step S102: The control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 controls the display contents of the items related to the vehicle information in the vehicle chart based on the generation information acquired in step S101.

[0037] Here, the vehicle information obtainable from the DCM differs depending on the generation of the DCM corresponding to the communication device 20. For example, in the case of a DCM that does not adopt the CAN communication protocol, although information on whether or not a warning light is on, whether or not a diagnostic code is detected, and whether or not an impact is detected can be obtained, information on the value of the odometer, whether or not there is an abnormality in the engine, whether or not there is an abnormality in the transmission, whether or not there is an abnormality in the brake pressure, whether or not there is an abnormality in the motor, and whether or not there is an abnormality in the battery cannot be obtained. Therefore, the control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 decides to display items related to vehicle information obtainable from the DCM of the generation indicated by the generation information obtained in step S101 in the vehicle chart. On the other hand, the control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 decides to hide items related to vehicle information that cannot be obtained from the DCM of the generation indicated by the generation information obtained in step S101. Then, the control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 generates the vehicle chart based on the decision. For example, for a vehicle 10 equipped with a DCM that does not employ a CAN communication protocol, a vehicle chart is generated in which the items "warning light on", "diagnostic code detection", and "impact detection" are displayed as "yes" or "no", and the items "odometer", "engine", "transmission", "brake pressure", "motor", and "battery" are not displayed (e.g., grayed out). Also, for a vehicle 10 equipped with a DCM that employs a CAN communication protocol, a vehicle chart is generated in which the items "warning light on", "diagnostic code detection", and "impact detection" are displayed as "yes" or "no", an odometer value is displayed in the "odometer" item, and "abnormality present" or "abnormality absent" is displayed in the items "engine", "transmission", "brake pressure", "motor", and "battery". Then, the control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 stores information indicating the generated vehicle chart in the storage unit 33. In addition, the control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 may perform this step by referring to a master sheet stored in the memory unit 33, in which information indicating whether or not items related to vehicle information are displayed for each generation indicated by the generation information of the DCM corresponding to the communication device 20 is pre-recorded.

[0038] Step S103: The control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 outputs the vehicle chart.

[0039] Specifically, when the control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 receives a signal requesting output of the vehicle medical record from a user terminal or the like via the communication unit 32, the control unit 31 transmits information indicating the vehicle medical record stored in the storage unit 33 to the user terminal or the like. Then, the vehicle medical record is displayed on the screen of the user terminal or the like.

[0040] As described above, the control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 according to this embodiment acquires vehicle information from the communication device 20 mounted on the vehicle 10. The control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 also acquires generation information of the communication device 20. The control unit 31 of the information processing device 30 also controls the display content of items related to vehicle information in the vehicle chart based on the generation information.

[0041] According to this configuration, the display contents of the vehicle information in the vehicle chart can be changed depending on the generation of the communication device 20. Therefore, the technology for creating the vehicle chart can be improved.

[0042] 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.

[0043] As a modified example, the configuration and operation of the information processing device 30 may be distributed among multiple computers that can communicate with each other. Also, for example, an embodiment in which some or all of the components of the information processing device 30 are provided in the vehicle 10 may be possible.

[0044] As a modified example, an embodiment is also possible in which a general-purpose computer functions as the information processing device 30 according to the above-described embodiment. Specifically, a program describing the processing contents for realizing each function of the information processing device 30 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.
