Abstract

An in-vehicle environment setting system 10 includes: a receiving unit 210 that receives, from a vehicle 50 , setting information regarding a setting for an in-vehicle environment of the vehicle 50 and environment information regarding an outdoor environment of the vehicle 50 in a manner associated with an identity of a user 52 who boards the vehicle 50 ; a learning unit 220 that learns a preference of the user 52 related to the setting for the in-vehicle environment based on the setting information and the environment information; a generation unit 230 that generates recommended setting information regarding a recommended setting for the in-vehicle environment preferred by the user 52 based on a learning result of the preference; and a transmission unit 240 that transmits the recommended setting information to a vehicle 60 which is different from the vehicle 50.

Claims (16)

1. A server system configured to:

receive, from a first vehicle, first setting information regarding a setting for an in-vehicle environment of the first vehicle, first environment information regarding an outdoor environment of the first vehicle, and usage style information indicating a user's usage style of the first vehicle in a manner associated with an identity of a user who boards the first vehicle;

learn a preference of the user related to the setting for the in-vehicle environment based on the first setting information, the first environment information, and the usage style information;

generate first recommended setting information regarding a recommended setting for the in-vehicle environment preferred by the user based on a learning result of the preference by taking into consideration a seat position of the user, wherein the seat position differs depending on the usage style; and

transmit the first recommended setting information to a second vehicle that is different from the first vehicle.

2. The server system according to claim 1 , wherein the server system is further configured to generate the first recommended setting information by taking into consideration a difference in the seat position of the user, wherein the seat position of the user while the first vehicle is used as a private car, a shared car or a rented car differs from the seat position of the user while the first vehicle is used as a taxi or a rideshare car.

3. The server system according to claim 1 , wherein the server system is further configured to generate the first recommended setting information by taking into consideration a difference in behavior of the user while the user is on board the first vehicle, wherein the behavior of the user depends on the usage style.

4. The server system according to claim 1 , wherein the server system is further configured to:

receive second environment information regarding an outdoor environment of the second vehicle from the second vehicle;

generate second recommended setting information regarding a recommended setting for an in-vehicle environment of the second vehicle preferred by the user based on the learning result of the preference and the second environment information; and

transmit the second recommended setting information to the second vehicle.

5. A method performed by a server system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first vehicle, first setting information regarding a setting for an in-vehicle environment of the first vehicle, first environment information regarding an outdoor environment of the first vehicle, and usage style information indicating a user's usage style of the first vehicle in a manner associated with an identity of a user who boards the first vehicle;

learning a preference of the user related to the setting for the in-vehicle environment based on the first setting information, the first environment information, and the usage style information;

generating first recommended setting information regarding a recommended setting for the in-vehicle environment preferred by the user based on a learning result of the preference by taking into consideration a seat position of the user, wherein the seat position differs depending on the usage style; and

transmitting the first recommended setting information to a second vehicle that is different from the first vehicle.
