[0031] (Hardware Configuration of the Vehicle Mount 14) Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the vehicle mount 14. As shown in this Figure 3, the vehicle mount 14 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit: processor) 40, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 42, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 44, a storage 46, a communication I / F (communication interface) 48, and an input / output I / F (input / output interface) 50. Each configuration is connected to be communicable with each other via a bus 52.

[0032] The CPU 40 is a central processing unit that executes various programs and controls each part. That is, the CPU 40 reads a program from the ROM 42 or the storage 46 and executes the program using the RAM 44 as a working area.

[0035] The input / output I / F 50 is electrically connected to the headlamp 54, the illuminance sensor 56, and the optical camera 58.

[0036] A pair of left and right headlamps 54 are mounted on the front part of the vehicle V, and information such as the total lighting time is transmitted from the headlamp 54 to the in-vehicle device 14.

[0037] The illuminance sensor 56 is provided inside or outside the vehicle V and is configured to be able to detect illuminance. Further, information regarding the integrated illuminance based on the illuminance acquired from the illuminance sensor 56 is stored in the storage 46 of the in-vehicle device 14.

[0038] The optical camera 58 is provided at a position where the lens constituting the headlamp 54 can be imaged. For example, it may be a small camera provided inside the headlamp 54. Then, the optical camera 58 images the lens at predetermined intervals and transmits the image information to the vehicle-mounted device 14.

[0039] Hereinafter, the details of the configuration of the headlamp 54 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.

[0040] (Headlamp 54) As shown in FIG. 5, the headlamp 54 includes a lens 72 and a housing 74. The lens 72 is formed in a shape that bulges toward the front side of the vehicle and has an open rear side, and a plurality of claw portions 72A are formed along the opening edge of the lens 72.

[0041] The housing 74 is formed in a shape that bulges toward the rear side of the vehicle and has an open front side, and an engaging portion (not shown) that engages with the claw portion 72A is formed. Then, by locking the claw portion 72A to the engaging portion, the lens 72 is attached to the housing 74.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 6, an extension 76, which is a decorative member, is attached to the inner surface of the lens 72. The extension 76 is configured to be visible from the outside of the headlamp 54, and the design of the headlamp 54 can be easily changed by changing the shape, color, etc. of the extension 76.

[0043] Also, a gasket 75 as a sealing material is detachably disposed on the opening edge of the housing 74, and the space between the housing 74 and the lens 72 is sealed by the gasket 75.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 7, the extension 76 is configured to be removable from the lens 72. For example, the extension 76 is fixed to the lens 72 by a fastener such as a screw, and the extension 76 can be removed by loosening the screw.

[0045] (Functional Configuration of Vehicle Lamp Information Notification Device 10) The vehicle lamp information notification device 10 realizes various functions by using the hardware resources shown in FIG. 2. The functional configuration realized by the vehicle lamp information notification device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 4, the vehicle lamp information notification device 10 includes, as a functional configuration, a deterioration status acquisition unit 62, a replacement necessity determination unit 64, a component information acquisition unit 66, and a proposal unit 68. Each functional configuration is realized by the CPU 20 reading and executing a program stored in the ROM 22 or the storage 26.

[0047] The deterioration status acquisition unit 62 acquires information regarding the deterioration status of the headlamp 54. Specifically, the deterioration status acquisition unit 62 acquires information regarding the deterioration status of the headlamp 54 stored in the server 12. For example, the deterioration status acquisition unit 62 acquires information such as the total lighting time of the headlamp 54, the travel distance of the vehicle V, the integrated illuminance calculated based on the data from the illuminance sensor 56, and the image information obtained by imaging the lens 72 with the optical camera 58.

[0048] The replacement necessity determination unit 64 determines whether or not it is necessary to replace or repair the lens 72 based on the information regarding the deterioration status of the headlamp 54 acquired by the deterioration status acquisition unit 62. For example, the replacement necessity determination unit 64 may determine that it is necessary to replace or repair the lens 72 when the total lighting time of the headlamp 54 is greater than a preset threshold value.

[0049] Further, for example, the threshold value for replacing the lens 72 and the threshold value for maintaining the lens 72 may be set separately. That is, when the degree of lens deterioration is low, such as when the lens 72 is whitened, the deteriorated state can be improved by only maintaining the lens 72 without replacement. On the other hand, when the degree of deterioration of the lens 72 is high, such as when the lens 72 is yellowed, the lens 72 needs to be replaced. Therefore, the threshold value when it is possible to take countermeasures against the aging deterioration of the lens 72 by only maintaining the lens 72 is set to a value smaller than the threshold value when the lens 72 needs to be replaced.

[0050] Also, when the driving distance of the vehicle V is greater than a preset threshold value, the replacement determination unit 64 may determine that the lens 72 needs to be replaced or maintained. In this case as well, the threshold value for replacing the lens 72 and the threshold value for maintaining the lens 72 may be set separately. If the necessity of replacing the lens 72 is determined only based on the driving distance of the vehicle V, it is not necessary to acquire the information of the headlamp 54.

[0051] Furthermore, when the value of the integrated illuminance is greater than a preset threshold value, the replacement determination unit 64 may determine that the lens 72 needs to be replaced or maintained. Since the lens 72 deteriorates due to the influence of ultraviolet light and the like, the deterioration of the lens 72 progresses as the time of exposure to sunlight is longer. Therefore, it is possible to determine the necessity of replacing or maintaining the lens 72 based on the value of the integrated illuminance.

[0052] Furthermore, when whitening can be confirmed in the lens 72 from the image information of the captured image of the lens 72, the replacement determination unit 64 may determine that the lens 72 needs to be maintained, and when yellowing can be confirmed in the lens 72 from the image information, the replacement determination unit 64 may determine that the lens 72 needs to be replaced. By capturing an image of the lens 72, the deteriorated state of the lens 72 can be directly determined.

[0053] Further, the necessity determination unit 64 may comprehensively determine that the lens 72 needs to be replaced or maintained based on the above plurality of items. For example, points may be assigned to a plurality of items among the total lighting time of the headlamp 54, the driving distance of the vehicle V, the integrated illuminance, and the image information, and it may be determined that the lens 72 needs to be replaced or maintained when the points are greater than a predetermined threshold value. In this case, even if the integrated illuminance is small, if the points based on other items are high, it can be determined that the lens 72 needs to be replaced or maintained.

[0054] The component information acquisition unit 66 acquires component information for customizing the headlamp 54. Specifically, the information of the extension 76 is acquired from a server or the like in which the information of the extension 76 of the headlamp 54 is stored. At this time, the component information acquisition unit 66 may acquire only the information of the extension 76 applicable to the vehicle V. For example, the component information is information such as the shape and color of the extension 76.

[0055] The proposal unit 68 proposes replacement or maintenance of the lens 72 and also proposes customization of the headlamp 54. In this embodiment, as an example, when the necessity determination unit 64 determines that the lens 72 needs to be maintained, the proposal unit 68 proposes maintenance and customization of the lens 72. The proposal for customizing the headlamp 54 is made based on the information acquired by the component information acquisition unit 66.

[0056] Further, when the necessity determination unit 64 determines that the lens 72 needs to be replaced, the proposal unit 68 proposes replacement and customization of the lens 72. The proposal by the proposal unit 68 is made, for example, by displaying on a display unit provided in the vehicle interior of the vehicle V. Further, the proposal unit 68 may propose replacement or maintenance of the lens 72 by transmitting a message to a mobile terminal or the like carried by the user of the vehicle V.

[0057] (Operation) Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

[0058] (Headlamp Information Notification Process) An example of the flow of the headlamp information notification process by the vehicle lamp information notification device 10 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 8. This process is realized by the CPU 20 reading and executing a program stored in the ROM 22 or the storage 26. In this embodiment, as an example, it is executed at the timing when the vehicle V is started, the timing when the vehicle V stops, or at regular intervals.

[0059] In step S102, the CPU 20 acquires information regarding the deterioration status of the headlamp 54. Specifically, the CPU 20 acquires information regarding the deterioration status of the headlamp 54 from the server 12 by the function of the deterioration status acquisition unit 62.

[0060] In step S104, the CPU 20 acquires component information. Specifically, the CPU 20 acquires information on the extension 76 from an external server or the like by the function of the component information acquisition unit 66.

[0061] In step S106, the CPU 20 determines whether the degree of deterioration of the headlamp 54 is high. If the CPU 20 determines that the degree of deterioration of the headlamp 54 is high based on the information acquired by the deterioration status acquisition unit 62, the process proceeds to step S108.

[0062] In step S108, the CPU 20 proposes the replacement and customization of the lens 72. Specifically, the CPU 20 proposes the replacement of the lens 72 by the function of the proposal unit 68. Further, the CPU 20 proposes the customization of the headlamp 54 by the function of the proposal unit 68 and ends the headlamp information notification process. At this time, the information on the extension 76 may be notified.

[0063] On the other hand, if the CPU 20 determines that the degree of deterioration of the headlamp 54 is not high based on the information acquired by the deterioration status acquisition unit 62 in step S106, the process proceeds to step S110.

[0064] In step S110, the CPU 20 proposes maintenance and customization of the lens 72. Specifically, the CPU 20 proposes maintenance of the lens 72 by the function of the proposal unit 68. Further, the CPU 20 proposes customization of the headlamp 54 by the function of the proposal unit 68 and ends the headlamp information notification process. At this time, the information of the extension 76 may be notified.

[0065] As described above, according to the vehicle lamp information notification system S including the vehicle lamp information notification device 10 according to the present embodiment, based on the information regarding the deterioration status of the headlamp 54 of the vehicle V, by proposing replacement or maintenance of the lens 72, it is possible to prompt the user to replace or maintain the lens 72. In particular, since the illuminance of the light irradiated from the headlamp 54 to the front of the vehicle may decrease due to deterioration of the lens 72, the safety performance can be maintained by regularly prompting replacement or maintenance of the lens 72.

[0066] Further, by proposing customization together with the proposal of replacement or maintenance of the headlamp 54, the user can be prompted to customize the headlamp 54 at the timing of replacement or maintenance of the lens 72. In this way, by proposing customization simultaneously with countermeasures against aging deterioration of the headlamp 54, it is possible to differentiate from a merchant who only performs aging deterioration of the headlamp 54. That is, it is possible to provide a service that differentiates at the time of countermeasures against aging deterioration of the headlamp 54. In addition, the trouble of the user individually customizing the headlamp 54 can be saved.

[0067] In particular, in the present embodiment, by changing the proposed content according to the degree of deterioration of the lens 72, it is possible to improve the aging deterioration of the headlamp 54 in a way that places less burden on the user. For example, when the degree of deterioration of the lens 72 is low, such as when the lens 72 is whitened, the deteriorated state can be improved without replacing the lens 72. As an example of a method for servicing the lens 72, by polishing the hard coat that covers the surface of the lens 72, the unevenness on the surface of the hard coat can be eliminated and the whitening can be resolved. Also, as another method, by attaching a sheet to the surface of the lens 72, similarly, the unevenness on the surface of the hard coat can be eliminated and the whitening can be resolved. With these methods, the aging deterioration state can be eliminated without disassembling the headlamp 54. Note that these methods may be combined.

[0068] On the other hand, when the degree of deterioration of the lens is high, such as when the lens 72 is yellowed, it is necessary to replace the lens 72. Therefore, by changing the proposed content according to the degree of deterioration of the lens 72, it becomes easier for the user to imagine the cost required to improve the aging deterioration state of the lens 72. Also, it is possible to determine whether it is necessary to disassemble the headlamp 54.

[0069] Also, in the present embodiment, by proposing the replacement or servicing of the lens 72 based on at least one of the total lighting time of the headlamp 54, the driving distance of the vehicle V, the integrated illuminance, and the image information obtained by imaging the lens 72, the estimation accuracy of the degree of aging deterioration is improved compared to the case of determining the degree of aging deterioration of the lens 72 based only on the number of days of use.

[0070] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, by acquiring information on the extension 76 for customizing the headlamp 54, it is possible to propose a customization suitable for the vehicle V owned by the user.

[0071] Furthermore, the headlamp 54 of the present embodiment is configured such that the lens 72 can be removed from the housing 74, and the lens 72 and the gasket 75 are configured to be replaceable. Therefore, it is possible to easily replace only the lens 72 without replacing the entire headlamp 54.

[0072] As described above, the headlamp information notification device S and the headlamp information notification device according to the embodiment have been described. However, it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the configuration for acquiring the deterioration status of the headlamp 54 as a vehicle lamp has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it may be applied to a fog lamp which is an auxiliary lamp.
