Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to an information processing system, an information processing method, and an information processing program. [Background technology]
[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses an information processing system that encourages users to use park-and-ride. This information processing system encourages users to use park-and-ride by providing greater incentives when users travel from a parking lot included in their route to their destination using means of transportation other than a car, compared to when they travel by car. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2018-81022 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0004] The information processing system described in Patent Document 1 does not take into account the balance between the user's use of automobiles and other means of transportation when providing incentives to the user. Therefore, depending on the incentives provided, there is a risk that the user may become overly reliant on automobile use and suffer from a lack of exercise, or that they may become overly reliant on other means of transportation and not fully enjoy the comforts of car ownership, thus reducing their satisfaction with their car-owning lifestyle.
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide an information processing system, an information processing method, and an information processing program that can provide a service that can alleviate lack of exercise while increasing satisfaction with car life. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, an information processing system is provided that includes an acquisition unit that acquires the cumulative value of parameters related to the user's vehicle driving over a predetermined period and the cumulative value of parameters related to the user's activities over a predetermined period; an incentive setting unit that sets an incentive to be given to the user; and an output unit that outputs the set incentive to the user. The incentive setting unit sets at least one of a vehicle-related incentive or a human activity-related incentive based on whether the cumulative value of the driving parameters exceeds a predetermined driving threshold and whether the cumulative value of the activity-related parameters exceeds a predetermined activity threshold. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] According to the present invention, the incentive setting unit sets vehicle-related incentives and / or human activity-related incentives based on whether the cumulative values of driving parameters and activity parameters exceed driving thresholds and activity thresholds, respectively. That is, based on whether the user uses the vehicle frequently and whether the user is highly active, the content of the incentives given to the user is determined to be incentives related to driving using the vehicle and / or human activity. Therefore, for example, vehicle-related incentives can be given to users who use the vehicle infrequently to encourage vehicle use, and human activity-related incentives can be given to users who are less active to encourage them to get more exercise. In other words, it is possible to provide a service that can increase satisfaction with car life while also helping to alleviate a lack of exercise. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0008] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 2 illustrates how the incentive setting unit sets incentives. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a sequence chart of an incentive provision service provided by an information processing system. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0009] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings and other figures.
[0010] [Embodiment] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an information processing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information processing system 100 is a system that provides a service (hereinafter also referred to as an incentive provision service) that provides incentives to users based on the amount of vehicle usage by the user and the amount of user activity.
[0011] As shown in Figure 1, the information processing system 100 comprises a server 1, an in-vehicle terminal 2, and a user terminal 3. The server 1, the in-vehicle terminal 2, and the user terminal 3 are connected to each other via a network such as the Internet. The server 1, the in-vehicle terminal 2, and the user terminal 3 are controllers composed of one or more computers, each including a CPU, ROM, and RAM. The incentive provision service is realized by executing a predetermined program stored in ROM using the CPU.
[0012] Server 1 is composed of one or more computers and includes an acquisition unit 11, an incentive setting unit 12, an output unit 13, and the like.
[0013] The acquisition unit 11 acquires the cumulative value of parameters related to the user's vehicle driving over a predetermined period from the in-vehicle terminal 2 (described later), and acquires the cumulative value of parameters related to the user's activities over a predetermined period from the user terminal 3. In this embodiment, the parameter related to the user's vehicle driving is the user's vehicle driving distance M (hereinafter also referred to as the user's driving distance), and the parameter related to the user's activities is the user's walking amount (number of steps) S. In this embodiment, the vehicle is an automobile.
[0014] The acquisition unit 11 receives the user's mileage M from the in-vehicle terminal 2 and the user's walking amount (number of steps) S from the user terminal 3. The acquisition unit 11 also accumulates and records the received user's mileage M and user's walking amount (number of steps) S for a predetermined period, and records the accumulated value of mileage M for the predetermined period. i And the cumulative value S of the user's walking amount (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i Obtain it.
[0015] The incentive setting unit 12 sets an incentive to be given to the user based on the cumulative value of parameters related to the user's driving using the vehicle during a predetermined period and the cumulative value of parameters related to the user's activities during a predetermined period. In this embodiment, the incentive setting unit 12 sets an incentive based on the cumulative value M of the user's driving distance M during a predetermined period. i and the cumulative value S of walking volume (number of steps) S i Based on this, the incentives to be given to the user are set. Specifically, the incentive setting unit 12 sets the cumulative value M of the user's mileage M over a predetermined period. i The predetermined driving threshold M th Whether or not it exceeds a certain value, and the cumulative value S of the user's walking amount (number of steps). i The predetermined activity threshold S th Based on whether or not it exceeds a certain threshold, at least one of either a vehicle-related incentive or a human activity-related incentive is set. The incentive setting unit 12 also sets up multiple incentives for the user to choose from. Details of the incentive setting will be described later.
[0016] The output unit 13 performs output processing to output the multiple incentives set in the incentive setting unit 12 to the user terminal 3. For example, the output unit 13 outputs the multiple set incentives to the input / output unit 31 of the user terminal 3, which will be described later, for the user to select.
[0017] The in-vehicle terminal 2 is a terminal installed in a vehicle used by a user and consists of one or more computers. The in-vehicle terminal 2 includes an input / output unit 21, a user identification unit 22, a mileage acquisition unit 23, etc., and is connected to the server 1 so as to be able to communicate with each other.
[0018] The input / output unit 21 is a display that allows user input, and is configured as, for example, a touch panel. For example, when the ignition switch of a vehicle equipped with an in-vehicle terminal 2 is turned on, the input / output unit 21 displays a login screen, and the user can log in to the server 1 from the in-vehicle terminal 2 by entering a user ID and password into the input / output unit 21 via the user interface (touch panel). When the vehicle's ignition switch is turned off, the user's login to the server 1 from the in-vehicle terminal 2 is automatically logged off. Note that user input operations to the input / output unit 21 are not limited to operations using the touch panel. For example, the input / output unit 21 may be configured to allow input by the user's voice.
[0019] The user identification unit 22 stores identification information for identifying users, such as the user ID and password of each user. When the user ID and password are input from the user interface of the input / output unit 21, the user identification unit 22 identifies the user and allows the user to log in to the server 1. Note that, as the identification information for identifying the user, biometric information such as the user's face image, iris, fingerprint, etc. associated with the user ID may be used. In this case, the input / output unit 21 is configured to be able to input biometric information such as the user's face image, iris, fingerprint, etc., and the user identification unit 22 identifies the user based on the input biometric information. However, the login method from the in-vehicle terminal 2 of the user is not limited to the above, and any known method may be used. For example, each time the ignition switch is turned on, the in-vehicle terminal 2 may be automatically logged in to the server 1 without any special operation by the user. Also, the logout method from the server 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned method, and any known method may be used. For example, the user may be able to logout from the server 1 by performing a predetermined logout operation, or the in-vehicle terminal 2 may be automatically logged out from the server 1 when a predetermined login continuation period (e.g., 90 days, etc.) elapses.
[0020] The travel distance acquisition unit 23 constantly collects various data from devices such as a clock, an odometer (cumulative distance meter), and a car navigation system provided in the vehicle used by the user, and transmits the travel distance M for each user ID from login to logout to the server 1. The acquisition unit 11 of the server 1 accumulates and records the travel distance M received from the travel distance acquisition unit 23 for each user ID, and every time a predetermined period elapses, the accumulated value M of the travel distance M for each user ID i is transmitted to the incentive setting unit 12.
[0021] In this embodiment, the information on the distance traveled M is sent to the server 1 at the time of logoff, but this is not necessarily the only option. For example, even if the system is set to log off due to user operation or the expiration of a predetermined login period, data upload from the in-vehicle terminal 2 to the server 1 may be performed at the timing of turning the ignition switch on or off, regardless of whether or not the user is logged off (i.e., the on / off timing of the ignition switch is used as the timing for data exchange between the in-vehicle terminal 2 and the server 1). Alternatively, for example, the information on the distance traveled M may be sent to the server 1 at predetermined intervals (for example, once every few minutes) while the vehicle is in motion.
[0022] User terminal 3 is a device operated by the user, such as a smartphone or smartwatch, but in this embodiment it is a smartphone. The user can use the incentive service in this embodiment by installing an application program (hereinafter referred to as app 30) on user terminal 3. User terminal 3 includes an input / output unit 31, a user identification unit 32, a step amount acquisition unit 33, etc., and is connected to server 1 so as to be able to communicate with each other.
[0023] The input / output unit 31 is a display screen that allows user input operations on the user terminal 3, and is configured, for example, as a touch panel. For example, when a user launches the application 30 on their smartphone, the input / output unit 31 displays a login screen, and the user can log in to the server 1 from the user terminal 3 by entering their user ID and password into the input / output unit 31 via the user interface (touch panel). The input / output unit 31 also displays (outputs) multiple incentives set in the incentive setting unit 12, and the user can select the incentive they wish to receive from among the multiple incentives displayed on the input / output unit 31 via the user interface (touch panel). The user can terminate the incentive provision service at any time by selecting logoff in the application 30. Furthermore, similar to the in-vehicle terminal 2, user input operations on the input / output unit 31 are not limited to operations using the touch panel. For example, the input / output unit 31 may be configured to allow input by the user's voice.
[0024] The user identification unit 32 stores identification information for each user, such as the user ID and password. When the user ID and password are entered through the user interface of the input / output unit 31, the user identification unit 32 identifies the user and allows them to log in to server 1. Similar to the user identification unit 22 of the in-vehicle terminal 2, the user identification unit 32 may also use biometric information such as the user's facial image, iris, or fingerprint associated with the user ID as identification information for the user. In this case, the input / output unit 31 is configured to accept input of biometric information such as the user's facial image, iris, or fingerprint, and the user identification unit 32 identifies the user based on the input biometric information. However, the method of login from the user terminal 3 is not limited to the above, and any known method may be used.
[0025] The step count acquisition unit 33 includes, for example, an acceleration sensor that detects the physical movement of the user terminal 3, and acquires the number of steps S when the user walks. The number of steps S for each user ID acquired by the step count acquisition unit 33 is transmitted to the server 1. The number of steps S may be sent to the server 1 as a total at regular intervals (for example, every day), or it may be sent as needed each time the user walks. The acquisition unit 11 of the server 1 accumulates and records the number of steps S received from the step count acquisition unit 33 for each user ID, and after a predetermined period has elapsed, the accumulated value S of the number of steps S for each user ID is recorded. i This is sent to the incentive setting unit 12.
[0026] As described above, the information processing system 100 obtains the user's mileage M from the in-vehicle terminal 2 and the user's walking amount (number of steps) S from the user terminal 3. Then, the server 1 calculates the cumulative value M of the user's mileage M over a predetermined period. i and the cumulative value S of walking volume (number of steps) S i Based on this, at least one of either vehicle-related incentives or human activity-related incentives will be set as incentives to be given to users.
[0027] Incidentally, in information processing systems that provide incentives to users, if incentives are set without considering the balance between the use of automobiles and other means of transportation, there is a risk that users' means of transportation will be biased towards either automobiles or other means of transportation. For example, if incentives related to automobiles are given to users who frequently use automobiles, their automobile use may increase even further, and their use of other means of transportation such as walking may decrease even further. As a result, there is a risk that users' activity levels will decrease, leading to a lack of exercise. On the other hand, if incentives other than those related to automobiles are given to users who frequently use other means of transportation, it will not be possible to encourage them to use automobiles. Consequently, users may not be able to fully enjoy the comforts of car ownership, and their satisfaction with car ownership (car life) may decrease.
[0028] In contrast, in this embodiment, the incentive setting unit 12 sets the cumulative value M of the user's mileage M over a predetermined period. i and the cumulative value S of walking volume (number of steps) S i Each of these is the driving threshold M th Activity threshold S th Based on whether or not a certain threshold is exceeded, incentives related to vehicles and / or related to human activity are set. That is, based on whether or not a user uses their vehicle frequently and whether or not they walk frequently, the content of the incentives given to the user is determined to be vehicle-related and / or related to human activity. Therefore, for example, vehicle-related incentives can be given to users who use their vehicles infrequently to encourage vehicle use, and human activity-related incentives can be given to users who walk infrequently to encourage them to get more exercise. In other words, it is possible to provide a service that can increase satisfaction with car life while also helping to alleviate a lack of exercise.
[0029] Note that the driving threshold M th This corresponds to a target value for the amount of car use by a user over a predetermined period, and can be set to, for example, the average value of the total car mileage nationwide over a predetermined period, but is not limited to this. Furthermore, there is an activity threshold S. th This corresponds to the target value of the user's walking volume over a predetermined period, and can be set to, for example, the ideal number of steps for health over a predetermined period, but is not limited to this. Furthermore, the running threshold M th and activity threshold S th While this can be set in advance, it may also be possible to define only a minimum value and allow users to set it arbitrarily, as long as it does not fall below that minimum value.
[0030] The following describes the details of how incentives are set in the information processing system 100.
[0031] Figure 2 illustrates the setting of incentives by the incentive setting unit 12.
[0032] As shown in Figure 2, the cumulative value M of the user's mileage over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th A value greater than or equal to the cumulative value S of the user's walking volume (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S th Below (bottom left of the table in Figure 2, M) i >M th And S i ≤S th In this case, it can be determined that the user is biased towards using cars rather than other means of transportation such as walking. In other words, the user may be lacking in exercise. In this case, giving the user vehicle-related incentives may exacerbate the lack of exercise. Therefore, M i >M th And S i ≤S th In this case, the incentive setting unit 12 sets incentives related to human activity. Here, incentives related to human activity include, but are not limited to, coupons for physical activity facilities such as gyms, swimming pools, and climbing facilities, or digital coupons that can be used for products related to human exercise, such as walking shoes. By setting and providing such activity-related incentives to users, it is possible to encourage users to overcome their lack of exercise.
[0033] On the other hand, the cumulative value M of the user's mileage M over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th The following conditions apply, and the cumulative value S of the user's walking volume (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S th Larger than (upper right of the table in Figure 2, M) i ≦M th And S i >S th In this case, it can be determined that the user is more inclined to use means of transportation other than automobiles, such as walking, than to automobiles. In other words, the user may not be fully enjoying their car life. In this case, even if the user is given incentives related to human activity, it will not be possible to encourage the use of a vehicle. Therefore, M i ≦M th And Si >S th In this case, the incentive setting unit 12 sets vehicle-related incentives. Here, vehicle-related incentives include, for example, expanding the free charge limit for electric vehicle (EV) charging services, coupons usable at highway service areas, coupons usable for car maintenance at dealerships, and coupons usable for car-related products. However, they are not limited to these. By setting and providing such vehicle-related incentives to users, it is possible to encourage users to use their cars and increase their satisfaction with their car life.
[0034] Furthermore, the vehicle-related incentives set in the incentive setting unit 12 may include, for example, coupons for rental cars or car-sharing services. This makes it possible to provide the incentive service of the present invention even to people who do not own a car.
[0035] Next, the cumulative value M of the user's mileage M over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th A value greater than or equal to the cumulative value S of the user's walking volume (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S th Larger than (top left of the table in Figure 2, M i >M th And S i >S thIn this case, it can be determined that there is no bias in the user's use of automobiles and other means of transportation, and that the amount of travel is high. In other words, it can be said that the user is enjoying both exercise and car life. Therefore, there is no need to correct the balance of the user's use of automobiles and other means of transportation. In this case, the incentive setting unit 12 sets both vehicle-related incentives and human activity-related incentives, and further sets incentives that include both vehicle-related incentives and human activity-related incentives (hereinafter referred to as vehicle and human activity-related incentives). Here, vehicle and human activity-related incentives include, but are not limited to, discount coupons for parking or facility usage fees at sports facilities far from the user's home, or free accommodation plans at hotels near sports facilities. Such incentives can encourage the user to use both vehicles and engage in human activities. In this way, M i >M th And S i >S th In such cases, by setting and providing a variety of incentives to users, it is possible to encourage users to continue enjoying both exercise and their car life.
[0036] Furthermore, the incentive setting unit 12 is M i >M th And S i >S th The duration of the state (number of times in a predetermined period) is calculated, M i >M th And S i >S th The longer the state continues, the more advantageous the incentive becomes for the user. Specifically, for example, M i >M th And S i >S th The longer this state continues, the more the incentive setting unit 12 sets coupons with higher discount rates as incentives, or increases the number of incentives the user can select, so that the user can receive more incentives. However, it is not limited to these. In this way, M i >Mth and S i > S th As the state of continues, by setting more advantageous incentives for the user, the user can be encouraged to be in a state (M i > M th and S i > S th in which both exercise and car life are fully enjoyed).
[0037] On the other hand, the integrated value M of the user's running distance M within a predetermined period i is below the running threshold M th and the integrated value S of the user's walking amount (number of steps) S within a predetermined period i is below the activity threshold S th (lower right of the table in Fig. 2, M i ≦ M th and S i ≦ S th ), since neither the running distance M nor the walking amount (number of steps) S reaches the targeted running threshold M th and activity threshold S th , no incentive is set. In this case, although there is no bias in the user's use of automobiles and other means of transportation, it can be determined that the amount of movement is small. That is, there is a possibility that the user lacks exercise and cannot fully enjoy car life. Therefore, it is preferable to encourage the use of both automobiles and other means of transportation such as walking. Accordingly, the incentive setting unit 12 generates a presentation list of incentives related to human activities given by increasing the running distance M of the automobile and incentives related to vehicles given by increasing the walking amount (number of steps) S. In this way, by generating and presenting to the user a presentation list of incentives given by increasing the usage amount of automobiles and the walking amount, it is possible to encourage the user to use automobiles and eliminate lack of exercise.
[0038] Note that M i ≦ M th and S i ≦ S thThe incentive presentation list generated in the case may include incentives related to both the vehicle and the activities of people.
[0039] As described above, the incentive setting unit 12 is M i >M th and S i ≦S th In the case of, set incentives related to the activities of people, M i ≦M th and S i >S th In the case of, set incentives related to the vehicle. Also, M i >M th and S i >S th In the case of, set incentives related to the vehicle, incentives related to the activities of people, and incentives related to the vehicle and the activities of people, M i ≦M th and S i ≦S th In the case of, generate an incentive presentation list.
[0040] FIG. 3 is a sequence chart of the incentive granting service by the information processing system 100. Note that the following processes are all repeatedly executed by the controller constituting the server 1, the in-vehicle terminal 2, and the user terminal 3 at regular intervals, but the user can terminate the incentive granting service at any time by logging off from the user terminal 3.
[0041] As shown in FIG. 3, when the user logs in from the user terminal 3, the user ID is specified, a login notification is sent from the user terminal 3 to the server 1, and the information processing system 100 (server 1) starts the incentive granting service.
[0042] After logging in from user terminal 3, information on the user's walking amount (number of steps) S is sent from user terminal 3 to server 1 at regular intervals or as needed. When server 1 (acquisition unit 11) receives the information on the user's walking amount (number of steps) S from user terminal 3, it accumulates and records the number of steps S for each user ID.
[0043] On the other hand, when the vehicle's ignition switch is turned on and the user logs in from the in-vehicle terminal 2, the user ID is identified. When the vehicle's ignition switch is turned off and the user logs off from the server 1, the in-vehicle terminal 2 sends information about the vehicle's mileage M from login to logoff to the server 1. As mentioned above, the transmission of the mileage M information from the in-vehicle terminal 2 to the server 1 is not limited to the timing of logoff; for example, it may be transmitted at predetermined intervals (for example, once every few minutes) while the vehicle is running. When the server 1 (acquisition unit 11) receives the mileage M information from the in-vehicle terminal 2, it accumulates and records the mileage M for each user ID. Each time a user logs in and logs off from the in-vehicle terminal 2 (i.e., the vehicle is used by the user), the in-vehicle terminal 2 sends information about the vehicle's mileage M from login to logoff to the server 1.
[0044] Server 1 (acquisition unit 11) receives information on mileage M and step count S from the in-vehicle terminal 2 and user terminal 3, and each time it receives this information, it accumulates and records the mileage M and step count S for each user ID.
[0045] Next, when a predetermined period has elapsed, the server 1 (incentive setting unit 12) calculates the cumulative value M of the user's mileage M during that predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th Whether or not it exceeds the cumulative value S of the user's walking amount (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S th Determine whether or not the limit has been exceeded. The specified period here can be set arbitrarily; for example, it can be one month.
[0046] Next, Server 1 (Incentive Setting Unit 12) calculates the cumulative value M of the user's mileage M over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th Whether or not it exceeds the cumulative value S of the user's walking amount (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S th Incentives are set based on whether or not the target is exceeded.
[0047] M i >M th And S i ≤S th In this case, Server 1 (Incentive Setting Unit 12) sets up multiple incentives related to a person's activities.
[0048] M i ≦M th And S i >S th In this case, Server 1 (Incentive Setting Unit 12) sets up multiple incentives related to the vehicle.
[0049] M i >M th And S i >S th In this case, Server 1 (Incentive Setting Unit 12) is M i >M th And S i >S th Calculate the duration of the state (number of times within a predetermined period). i >M th And S i >S th When the duration of the state is calculated, Server 1 (Incentive Setting Unit 12) sets multiple incentives related to the vehicle, multiple incentives related to human activity, and multiple incentives related to both the vehicle and human activity. Here, Server 1 (Incentive Setting Unit 12) M i >M th And S i >S th The longer the duration of the condition, the more advantageous the incentives will be for the user.
[0050] Mi ≦M th And S i ≤S th In this case, Server 1 (Incentive Setting Unit 12) generates a list of incentives to offer.
[0051] When an incentive is set or an incentive offering list is generated, Server 1 (Output Unit 13) outputs the set incentives or the generated incentive offering list to User Terminal 3 (Input / Output Unit 31). User Terminal 3 (Input / Output Unit 31) outputs (displays) the incentives or incentive offering list input from Server 1 (Output Unit 13).
[0052] When a user selects (inputs) an incentive they wish to receive from among several incentives via the user interface, this input information is sent to Server 1. Upon receiving the user's incentive selection (input) information, Server 1 (Output Unit 13) outputs the incentive selected by the user to User Terminal 3 (Input / Output Unit 31) and grants the incentive to the user. The granting of the incentive is performed, for example, by sending a QR code (registered trademark) from Server 1 (Output Unit 13) to User Terminal 3 (Input / Output Unit 31). The user can then receive discounts on admission fees, etc., by having the QR code (registered trademark) received on User Terminal 3 scanned at a facility, etc.
[0053] Furthermore, when the user terminal 3 (input / output unit 31) outputs (displays) the list of incentives (i.e., M i ≦M th And S i ≤S th In this case, the user will not be eligible for the incentive.
[0054] According to the information processing system 100 of the above-described embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
[0055] The information processing system 100 calculates the cumulative value M of the vehicle's mileage M by the user over a predetermined period.i And the cumulative value S of the user's walking volume (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The system includes an acquisition unit 11 that acquires data and an incentive setting unit 12 that sets an incentive to be given to the user. The incentive setting unit 12 acquires the cumulative value M of the mileage traveled over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th Whether or not it exceeds a certain value, and the cumulative value S of the amount of walking (number of steps) during a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S th Based on whether or not a certain threshold is exceeded, at least one of either a vehicle-related incentive or a human activity-related incentive is set. That is, based on whether or not the user uses the vehicle frequently and whether or not the user walks frequently, the content of the incentive given to the user is determined to be an incentive related to driving and / or human activity. Therefore, for example, a vehicle-related incentive can be given to a user who uses the vehicle infrequently to encourage vehicle use, and an activity-related incentive can be given to a user who walks infrequently to encourage them to get more exercise. In other words, it is possible to provide a service that can increase satisfaction with car life while also helping to alleviate a lack of exercise.
[0056] The information processing system 100, specifically the incentive setting unit 12, calculates the cumulative value M of the vehicle mileage driven by the user over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th It exceeds the cumulative value S of the user's walking volume (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S th In the following cases, incentives related to human activity should be set. By setting and providing activity-related incentives to users who use vehicles frequently but have low levels of physical activity (walking), it is possible to encourage them to address their lack of exercise.
[0057] The information processing system 100, specifically the incentive setting unit 12, calculates the cumulative value M of the vehicle mileage driven by the user over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th The following conditions apply, and the cumulative value S of the user's walking volume (number of steps) over a predetermined period.i The activity threshold S th If the threshold is exceeded, a vehicle-related incentive will be set. In this way, by setting and providing vehicle-related incentives to users who have a high level of activity (walking) and low vehicle usage, it is possible to encourage users to use their cars and increase their satisfaction with their car life.
[0058] The information processing system 100, specifically the incentive setting unit 12, calculates the cumulative value M of the vehicle mileage driven by the user over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th It exceeds the cumulative value S of the user's walking volume (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S th If the threshold is exceeded, incentives related to vehicles, incentives related to human activity, and incentives related to both vehicles and human activity will be set. In this way, by setting and providing diverse incentives to users who use vehicles and are also active (walking), it is possible to encourage them to continue enjoying both exercise and their car life.
[0059] The information processing system 100, specifically the incentive setting unit 12, calculates the cumulative value M of the vehicle mileage driven by the user over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th It exceeds the cumulative value S of the user's walking volume (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S th The longer a user continues to exceed a certain threshold, the more advantageous the incentive becomes. This encourages users to continue enjoying both exercise and their car life.
[0060] The information processing system 100, specifically the incentive setting unit 12, calculates the cumulative value M of the vehicle mileage driven by the user over a predetermined period. i The driving threshold M th The following conditions apply, and the cumulative value S of the user's walking volume (number of steps) over a predetermined period. i The activity threshold S thIn the following cases, a list of vehicle-related incentives and activity-related incentives to present to the user will be generated. For users with low car usage and low activity levels (walking), a list of incentives that can be given for increasing car usage or walking will be generated and presented, encouraging users to use their cars and address their lack of exercise.
[0061] In this embodiment, the user selects the incentive to be given, but this is not necessarily the only option. The incentive may be automatically given without user selection. For example, the cumulative value M of the distance traveled. i The driving threshold M th The following is the cumulative value S of the walking amount (number of steps) S. i The activity threshold S th For users exceeding a certain limit, the server may automatically increase their free EV charging allowance. In this case, for example, server 1 may display a message to user terminal 3 (input / output unit 31) such as, "This month you are a 'walking-focused type,' so next month your free EV charging allowance will increase by N%." This can encourage users to use their vehicles.
[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the travel threshold M th and / or activity threshold S th While the system is designed to provide incentives such as coupons to users exceeding a certain threshold, the types of incentives are not limited to this. For example, the cumulative value M of the distance traveled. i The driving threshold M th Although it exceeds the cumulative value of walking volume (number of steps) S i The activity threshold S th For users who have not exceeded the limit, an incentive to double their step count S may be offered to encourage them to take more exercise. In this case, for example, server 1 may display a message on user terminal 3 (input / output unit 31) such as, "This month you are a 'car life-focused type,' so your step count will be doubled next month."
[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the travel threshold M thand / or activity threshold S th Users who do not exceed any of the above criteria will not be eligible for the incentive, but this is not necessarily the only criterion. For example, the cumulative value of the mileage M. i and the cumulative value S of walking volume (number of steps) S i However, the driving threshold M th and / or activity threshold S th For users who are close to (but just short of) the threshold, incentives such as reduced coupons may be offered. Also, for example, the cumulative value M of the distance traveled. i and the cumulative value S of walking volume (number of steps) S i However, in all cases the driving threshold M th and activity threshold S th For users who have not exceeded the limit, an incentive may be given to double the step count S at a specific location. This can encourage both the use of a vehicle to go to a specific location and activity at that location. In this case, server 1 doubles the amount of walking (steps) of the user transmitted from user terminal 3 to server 1 at the specific location and accumulates the step count S. Also, for example, server 1 may display on user terminal 3 (input / output unit 31) a message such as, "Your step count at XX theme park has been doubled." Also, for example, the accumulated value M of the distance traveled. i and the cumulative value S of walking volume (number of steps) S i However, in all cases the driving threshold M th and activity threshold S th For users who have not exceeded the limit, an incentive may be given to double the step count S while the EV is charging. This can encourage users to use both the vehicle (EV) and to be active (walking). In this case, when the in-vehicle terminal 2 notifies the server 1 that the EV is charging, the server 1 doubles the amount of walking (steps) transmitted from the user terminal 3 to the server 1 and accumulates the step count S until the in-vehicle terminal 2 notifies the server 1 that the EV charging is complete.
[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the parameter related to the user's vehicle driving is defined as the user's vehicle driving distance M, and the parameter related to the user's activity is defined as the user's walking amount (number of steps) S, but this is not necessarily limited to these. For example, the parameter related to the user's vehicle driving may be the user's vehicle driving time, etc. Also, for example, the parameter related to the user's activity may be the user's calories burned, heart rate, etc. In this case, the incentive setting unit 12 sets vehicle-related incentives and / or human activity-related incentives based on whether the cumulative value of the user's vehicle driving time over a predetermined period exceeds a predetermined driving time (driving threshold), and whether the user's calories burned and heart rate over a predetermined period exceed predetermined calories burned and heart rate (activity threshold).
[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cumulative value M of the mileage M is i and the cumulative value S of walking volume (number of steps) S i However, the driving threshold M th and activity threshold S th If both of these are exceeded, then M i >M th And S i >S th We calculated the duration of the condition and decided to set more favorable incentives for longer durations, but this is not necessarily the only option. The cumulative value of the distance traveled M is M. i Only the driving threshold M th The duration of a state exceeding a certain value, or the cumulative value S of walking volume (number of steps) i Only activity threshold S th Incentives may also be set to be favorable if the period of time exceeding the limit is long.
[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an incentive is set and presented to the user after a predetermined period has elapsed, but this is not necessarily the only option. For example, if information on the distance traveled M is transmitted from the in-vehicle terminal 2 to the server 1 at predetermined intervals while the vehicle is in motion, the server 1 will receive the cumulative value S of the user's walking amount (number of steps). i The activity threshold S thWhether or not it exceeds the limit, and the cumulative value of the mileage M. i The driving threshold M th Incentives may be set and presented to the user at all times based on whether or not a certain threshold is exceeded. In this case, the cumulative value of the mileage M is M. i As this increases, the incentives set and presented will change.
[0067] Furthermore, the processing steps shown in this embodiment are merely examples of how to implement this embodiment. The order of some of the processing steps may be changed to the extent that this embodiment can be implemented, and some of the processing steps may be omitted or other processing steps may be added.
[0068] Furthermore, each process shown in this embodiment is executed based on a program that causes a computer to execute each processing procedure. Therefore, this embodiment can also be understood as an embodiment of a program that realizes the function of executing each of these processes, and a recording medium that stores that program. For example, an update process to add new functions to an information processing system can cause the program to be stored in the storage device of the information processing system. This makes it possible to have the updated information processing system perform each of the processes shown in this embodiment.
