Abstract

Claims (22)

1. An information processing method, comprising the following performed using a computer:

obtaining second situational information related to a situation of at least one of a vehicle or surroundings of the vehicle at a second time point subsequent to a first time point;

determining a vehicle targeted for monitoring by inputting the second situational information to a trained model obtained by machine learning in which first situational information and a first monitoring result are used, and externally monitoring a vehicle by a first monitoring agent and a second monitoring agent, the vehicle targeted for monitoring being recommended to the second monitoring agent among a plurality of vehicles, the first situational information being related to a situation of at least one of the vehicle or the surroundings of the vehicle at the first time point, the first monitoring result being a result of monitoring by the first monitoring agent based on the first situational information;

generating presentation information indicating the vehicle determined; and

causing a presentation device to output the presentation information.

2. An information processing method, comprising the following performed using a computer:

obtaining second situational information related to a situation of at least one of a vehicle or surroundings of the vehicle at a second time point subsequent to a first time point;

determining one or more vehicles and a monitoring recommended level of each of the one or more vehicles by inputting the second situational information to a trained model obtained by machine learning in which first situational information and a first monitoring result are used, and externally monitoring a vehicle by a first monitoring agent and a second monitoring agent, the one or more vehicles being potential monitoring targets recommended to the second monitoring agent among a plurality of vehicles, the first situational information being related to a situation of at least one of the vehicle or the surroundings of the vehicle at the first time point, the first monitoring result being a result of monitoring by the first monitoring agent based on the first situational information;

generating presentation information indicating the monitoring recommended level determined; and

causing a presentation device to output the presentation information.

3. The information processing method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the presentation information includes an image of a button for starting monitoring of each of the one or more vehicles included in the recommended content.

4. An information processing method, comprising the following performed using a computer:

obtaining second situational information related to a situation of at least one of a vehicle or surroundings of the vehicle at a second time point subsequent to a first time point;

determining a monitoring direction by inputting the second situational information to a trained model obtained by machine learning in which first situational information and a first monitoring result are used, and externally monitoring a vehicle by a first monitoring agent and a second monitoring agent, the monitoring direction being a direction for monitoring as seen from a recommended monitoring target vehicle recommended to the second monitoring agent among a plurality of vehicles, the first situational information being related to a situation of at least one of the vehicle or the surroundings of the vehicle at the first time point, the first monitoring result being a result of monitoring by the first monitoring agent based on the first situational information;

generating presentation information indicating the monitoring direction determined; and

causing a presentation device to output the presentation information.

5. An information processing method, comprising the following performed using a computer:

obtaining second situational information related to a situation of at least one of a vehicle or surroundings of the vehicle at a second time point subsequent to a first time point;

determining recommended content by inputting the second situational information to a trained model obtained by machine learning in which first situational information and information identifying an operation performed by a first monitoring agent on a vehicle targeted for monitoring by the first monitoring agent are used, and externally monitoring a vehicle by the first monitoring agent and a second monitoring agent, the recommended content being related to vehicle monitoring recommended to the second monitoring agent among a plurality of vehicles, the first situational information being related to a situation of at least one of the vehicle or the surroundings of the vehicle at the first time point, the operation being an operation based on a determination made by the first monitoring agent after considering which vehicle is to be monitored;

generating presentation information for the vehicle monitoring based on the recommended content determined; and

causing a presentation device to output the presentation information.
