Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a controller, and a provision unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire behavior information and a request for route retrieval from the vehicle. The controller is configured to decide a plurality of temporary routes in a case where the request for route retrieval is acquired, recognize a manner reference score of each of the temporary routes, recognize an evaluation score of each of a plurality of manner items based on the behavior information acquired from the vehicle having requested the route retrieval, calculate a total evaluation score by using the evaluation score of each of the manner items, and select some of the temporary routes as proposal routes based on comparison between the manner reference score and the total evaluation score. The provision unit is configured to provide the proposal routes to the vehicle having requested the route retrieval.

Claims (60)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a controller configured to: acquire behavior information regarding a behavior of a vehicle and a request for route retrieval between two locations from the vehicle;

decide a plurality of temporary routes connecting the two locations to each other in a case where the request for route retrieval is acquired;

recognize a manner reference score of each of the temporary routes;

recognize an evaluation score of each of a plurality of manner items based on the behavior information acquired from the vehicle having requested the route retrieval;

calculate a total evaluation score by using the evaluation score of each of the plurality of manner items;

select some of the temporary routes as proposal routes based on comparison between the manner reference score and the total evaluation score; and

provide the proposal routes to the vehicle having requested the route retrieval,

wherein at least some of the plurality of manner items used to recognize the manner reference scores of the temporary routes are defined for each of the temporary routes;

wherein the controller is further configured to:

recognize the manner reference scores of the temporary routes based on the evaluation score of each of the plurality of manner items of a vehicle having passed through each of the temporary routes;

calculate the total evaluation score based on evaluation scores of at least some of the plurality of manner items used to recognize the manner reference score of each of the temporary routes; and

recognize a recognizable evaluation score of a manner item by using the behavior information whenever the behavior information is acquired, store position information of a vehicle having provided the behavior information in association with the evaluation score, and define a manner item used to recognize the manner reference score of each of the temporary routes based on a ratio of the number of times of recognition of an evaluation score of a manner item associated with position information corresponding to a position included in each of the temporary routes to the number of times of acquisition according to of the behavior information.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to recognize the manner reference scores of the temporary routes based on the evaluation score of each of the plurality of manner items of a vehicle before passing through each of the temporary routes.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the behavior information includes detected information that is detected by a sensor of the vehicle; and

the controller is further configured to recognize the evaluation score by calculating the evaluation score of each of the plurality of manner items based on the detected information included in the behavior information.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the behavior information includes the evaluation score of at least one of the plurality of manner items calculated in the vehicle; and

the controller is further configured to recognize the evaluation score of the manner item by acquiring the behavior information.

5. An information processing system comprising:

an on-vehicle processor that provides behavior information regarding a behavior of a vehicle and a request for route retrieval between two locations;

a controller configured to:

decide a plurality of temporary routes connecting the two locations to each other in a case where the request for route retrieval is acquired;

recognize a manner reference score of each of the temporary routes;

recognize an evaluation score of each of a plurality of manner items based on the behavior information acquired from the vehicle having requested the route retrieval;

calculate a total evaluation score by using the evaluation score of each of the plurality of manner items; and

select some of the temporary routes as proposal routes based on comparison between the manner reference score and the total evaluation score; and

provide the proposal routes to the vehicle having requested the route retrieval,

wherein at least some of the plurality of manner items used to recognize the manner reference scores of the temporary routes are defined for each of the temporary routes;

wherein the controller is further configured to:

recognize the manner reference scores of the temporary routes based on the evaluation score of each of the plurality of manner items of a vehicle having passed through each of the temporary routes;

calculate the total evaluation score based on evaluation scores of at least some of the plurality of manner items used to recognize the manner reference score of each of the temporary routes; and

recognize a recognizable evaluation score of a manner item by using the behavior information whenever the behavior information is acquired, store position information of a vehicle having provided the behavior information in association with the evaluation score, and define a manner item used to recognize the manner reference score of each of the temporary routes based on a ratio of the number of times of recognition of an evaluation score of a manner item associated with position information corresponding to a position included in each of the temporary routes to the number of times of acquisition according to of the behavior information.

6. A storage unit storing an information processing program causing an information processing apparatus to execute

acquiring behavior information regarding a behavior of a vehicle and a request for route retrieval between two locations from the vehicle,

deciding a plurality of temporary routes connecting the two locations to each other in a case where the request for route retrieval is acquired,

recognizing a manner reference score of each of the temporary routes,

recognizing an evaluation score of each of a plurality of manner items based on the behavior information acquired from the vehicle having requested the route retrieval,

calculating a total evaluation score by using the evaluation score of each of the plurality of manner items,

selecting some of the temporary routes as proposal routes based on comparison between the manner reference score and the total evaluation score, and

providing the proposal routes to the vehicle having requested the route retrieval,

wherein at least some of the plurality of manner items used to recognize the manner reference scores of the temporary routes are defined for each of the temporary routes;

wherein the method further includes:

recognizing the manner reference scores of the temporary routes based on the evaluation score of each of the plurality of manner items of a vehicle having passed through each of the temporary routes;

calculating the total evaluation score based on evaluation scores of at least some of the plurality of manner items used to recognize the manner reference score of each of the temporary routes; and

recognizing a recognizable evaluation score of a manner item by using the behavior information whenever the behavior information is acquired, storing position information of a vehicle having provided the behavior information in association with the evaluation score, and defining a manner item used to recognize the manner reference score of each of the temporary routes based on a ratio of the number of times of recognition of an evaluation score of a manner item associated with position information corresponding to a position included in each of the temporary routes to the number of times of acquisition according to of the behavior information.

7. An information processing method comprising:
