Failure prediction information output control method and device

Abstract

This failure prediction information output control device comprises: a failure prediction unit (6) that predicts a failure of a vehicle on the basis of a vehicle signal; a failure time estimation unit (7) that estimates time of occurrence of the failure of the vehicle on the basis of the predicted failure; a management and repair-related personnel database (2) that stores identification information of management and repair-related personnel for the vehicle; an occupant detection unit (3) that detects identification information of an occupant; an occupant determination unit (4) that determines whether or not the occupant is the management and repair-related personnel by comparing the identification information of the occupant with the identification information of the management and repair-related personnel; and an output control unit (9) that does not output notification information about the predicted failure to the occupant if the occupant at the predicted time of the failure of the vehicle is a user who is not management and repair-related personnel and the time of occurrence of the failure is determined to be outside a usage period.
