Abstract

An information processing device according to an embodiment includes a storage device and one or more processors configured to function as a setting unit and a record control unit. The setting unit sets a record level of history information according to a reliability of derivative information derived from output information of a sensor. The record control unit performs control to store the history information in the storage device according to the record level.

Claims (26)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a storage device; and

one or more processors configured to perform:

acquiring a driving mode indicating a level of autonomous driving of a moving object, the driving mode including a non-autonomous driving mode and autonomous driving modes;

performing setting by correcting a first record level calculated based on a travel-planned route for the moving object to autonomously travel according to a first autonomous driving mode, to a second record level when the driving mode is switched to a second autonomous driving mode having a higher level of autonomous driving than the first autonomous driving mode, the second record level having a more amount of data recorded per unit time than the first record level; and

performing control to store history information in the storage device according to the second record level, the history information including at least one of output information of a sensor mounted on the moving object, derivative information derived from the output information of the sensor, and the travel-planned route, wherein

the derivative information includes a plurality of pieces of derivative information having different record levels according to the respective pieces, and

the plurality of pieces of derivative information include at least two of sensor abnormality information, contradiction information, driver state information, travel-planned route information, travel difficulty information, recommended lane information, peripheral situation analysis result information, and a driving amount of the moving object.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the level of the autonomous driving becomes higher as a level of necessity of operating a control system by a driver of the moving object becomes lower.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the record level is represented by at least one of record object information indicating whether or not information is an object to be recorded, a record detail level, a record interval, and a storage period.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein performing of the setting sets the record level according to a difficulty in traveling the travel-planned route.

5. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the difficulty is determined on the basis of the travel-planned route and the output information of the sensor.

6. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring a driving mode indicating a level of autonomous driving of a moving object, the driving mode including a non-autonomous driving mode and autonomous driving modes;

performing setting by correcting a first record level calculated based on a travel-planned route for the moving object to autonomously travel according to a first autonomous driving mode, to a second record level when the driving mode is switched to a second autonomous driving mode having a higher level of autonomous driving than the first autonomous driving mode, the second record level having a more amount of data recorded per unit time than the first record level; and

performing control to store history information in a storage device according to the second record level, the history information including at least one of output information of a sensor mounted on the moving object, derivative information derived from the output information of the sensor, and the travel-planned route, wherein

the derivative information includes a plurality of pieces of derivative information having different record levels according to the respective pieces, and

the plurality of pieces of derivative information include at least two of sensor abnormality information, contradiction information, driver state information, travel-planned route information, travel difficulty information, recommended lane information, peripheral situation analysis result information, and a driving amount of the moving object.

7. A computer program product containing instructions embodied in and stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:

acquiring a driving mode indicating a level of autonomous driving of a moving object, the driving mode including a non-autonomous driving mode and autonomous driving modes;

performing setting by correcting a first record level calculated based on a travel-planned route for the moving object to autonomously travel according to a first autonomous driving mode, to a second record level when the driving mode is switched to a second autonomous driving mode having a higher level of autonomous driving than the first autonomous driving mode, the second record level having a more amount of data recorded per unit time than the first record level; and

performing control to store history information in a storage device according to the second record level, the history information including at least one of output information of a sensor mounted on the moving object, derivative information derived from the output information of the sensor, and the travel-planned route, wherein

the derivative information includes a plurality of pieces of derivative information having different record levels according to the respective pieces, and

the plurality of pieces of derivative information include at least two of sensor abnormality information, contradiction information, driver state information, travel-planned route information, travel difficulty information, recommended lane information, peripheral situation analysis result information, and a driving amount of the moving object.
