Vehicle information processing system

1. A vehicle information processing system for assisting a driver in a specified assistance area, comprising:

a database that stores pedal operation pattern, which is a pattern of a turning off of an accelerator of the vehicle, and assistance information for assisting the driver corresponding to the pedal operation pattern so as to be associated with each other for each assistance area, the pedal operation pattern and the assistance information for a respective assistance area set based upon learned data specific to the driver and the respective assistance area;

a sensor that acquires a current position of the vehicle; and

a controller that:

acquires driving operation information of the driver when it is determined that the driver enters the assistance area based on information received from the sensor;

sets the pedal operation pattern in the assistance area on the basis of the driving operation information;

determines the assistance information for assisting the driver in the assistance area on the basis of the set pedal operation pattern in the assistance area, with reference to the database; and

assists the driver in accordance with the assistance information.

2. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the pedal operation pattern in the assistance area is provided according to an operation factor, and

the controller sets the pedal operation pattern in the assistance area on the basis of the driving operation information of the driver from the time when the driver enters the assistance area to a behavior-before-stop start position.

3. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein, when the set pedal operation pattern in the assistance area is changed, the controller changes the assistance information depending on the changed operation pattern.

4. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

reliability is set to each pedal operation pattern on the basis of a behavior-before-stop start position from an assistance area entrance position, and

the controller determines the assistance information on the basis of the reliability of each pedal operation pattern.

5. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein higher reliability is set to the pedal operation pattern in which the behavior-before-stop start position in the assistance area is closer to the assistance area entrance position.

6. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein the reliability is set on the basis of a number of times the driver performs the same pedal operation pattern in the assistance area.

7. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the reliability set to the pedal operation pattern with high frequency of execution is higher than the reliability set to the operation pattern with low frequency of execution.

8. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein the reliability is set to each pedal operation pattern stored in the database.

9. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the driving operation information of the driver and vehicle position information are stored so as to be associated with each other,

stopping of the vehicle is determined on the basis of the stored information, and

the assistance area is specified on the basis of a frequency of stop in the same area.

10. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the assistance information includes at least one of turning off the accelerator early, changing an amount of regenerative braking, and stopping an engine of the vehicle.

11. The vehicle information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the pedal operation pattern is a pattern including a plurality of instances of the turning off of the accelerator of the vehicle.
