Abstract

An information processing device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information indicating a state of a vehicle from the vehicle; and a notification unit that performs a first notification regarding the state when the information processing device is outside a predetermined range including the vehicle, and that performs a second notification including more information on the state than the first notification when the information processing device is in the predetermined range.

Claims (33)

1. An information processing device comprising:

an acquisition unit that acquires information indicating a state of a vehicle from the vehicle; and

a notification unit that performs a first notification regarding the state when the information processing device is outside a predetermined range including the vehicle, and that performs a second notification including an information on the state different from the first notification when the information processing device is in the predetermined range, wherein

the first notification indicates that the vehicle is not in a predetermined state, and the second notification identifies a specific reason why the vehicle is not in the predetermined state.

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

the notification unit includes a speaker so that the first notification is performed by emitting sound, and the second notification is performed by emitting sound different from the sound of the first notification.

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

the acquisition unit acquires first information corresponding to the first notification from the vehicle when the information processing device is outside the predetermined range, and acquires second information corresponding to the second notification from the vehicle when the information processing device is in the predetermined range.

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

the second notification indicates that a window of the vehicle is open.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a determination unit that determines whether the information processing device is outside or in the predetermined range.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein

the determination unit determines whether the information processing device is outside or in the predetermined range, based on states of communication radio waves of the information processing device and the vehicle.

7. A method that is carried out by a processor of a computer, the method comprising:

acquiring information indicating a state of a vehicle from the vehicle;

performing a first notification regarding the state, when an information processing device is outside a predetermined range including the vehicle; and

performing a second notification including an information on the state different from the first notification, when the information processing device is in the predetermined range, wherein

the first notification indicates that the vehicle is not in a predetermined state, and the second notification identifies a specific reason why the vehicle is not in the predetermined state.

8. A vehicle state presentation system comprising:

a vehicle; and

the information processing device of claim 1 .

9. The vehicle state presentation system according to claim 8 , wherein

the notification unit includes a speaker so that the first notification is performed by emitting sound, and the second notification is performed by emitting sound different from the sound of the first notification.

10. The vehicle state presentation system according to claim 8 , wherein

the acquisition unit acquires first information corresponding to the first notification from the vehicle when the information processing device is outside the predetermined range, and acquires second information corresponding to the second notification from the vehicle when the information processing device is in the predetermined range.

11. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the second notification includes a second word utterance that is different from a first word utterance included in the first notification.

12. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the state indicates a potentially undesirable condition in which the vehicle was left when a user of the vehicle left the vehicle.

13. The vehicle state presentation system according to claim 9 , wherein the second notification includes a second word utterance that is different from a first word utterance included in the first notification.

14. The vehicle state presentation system according to claim 8 , wherein the state indicates a potentially undesirable condition in which the vehicle was left when a user of the vehicle left the vehicle.

15. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the state indicates a potentially undesirable condition in which the vehicle was left when a user of the vehicle left the vehicle.

16. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the first notification is performed by emitting sound, and the second notification is performed by emitting sound different from the sound of the first notification.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the second notification includes a second word utterance that is different from a first word utterance included in the first notification.
