Abstract

A brake ECU executes a process including the steps of: acquiring input information; determining whether predetermined conditions are met; when the predetermined conditions are met, acquiring vehicle speed data; updating a vehicle speed frequency distribution using the acquired vehicle speed data; and sending the updated vehicle speed frequency distribution to a data center.

Claims (28)

1 . An information processing device that calculates an amount of characteristic relating to a driving characteristic of a driver of a vehicle, the information processing device comprising:

an electronic control unit that includes a processor, the electronic control unit being configured to:

acquire an amount of operation of the vehicle;

identify a predetermined driving state during travel of the vehicle using the amount of operation that has been acquired; and

calculate the amount of characteristic in the predetermined driving state, wherein

the predetermined driving state includes a driving state in which the vehicle is steered while moving straight ahead, and

the amount of characteristic includes a time-integrated value of a difference between a first steering amount that is estimated from a behavior of the vehicle and a second steering amount that is an actual amount steered.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic control unit is further configured to calculate a frequency distribution of the time-integrated value.

3 . A vehicle comprising the information processing device according to claim 1 .

4 . An information processing system comprising:

the information processing device according to claim 1 ; and

a server that manages information sent from the information processing device.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic control unit acquires data of the amount of operation of the vehicle from at least one sensor provided on the vehicle.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic control unit acquires data of the amount of operation of the vehicle from a memory in which is stored the data of the amount of operation of the vehicle obtained from at least one sensor provided on the vehicle.

7 . An information processing device that calculates an amount of characteristic relating to a driving characteristic of a driver of a vehicle, the information processing device comprising:

an electronic control unit that includes a processor, the electronic control unit being configured to:

acquire an amount of operation of the vehicle;

identify a predetermined driving state during travel of the vehicle using the amount of operation that has been acquired; and

calculate the amount of characteristic in the predetermined driving state, wherein

the predetermined driving state includes a driving state until the vehicle that is traveling is stopped, and

the amount of characteristic includes a difference between a peak value of a brake oil pressure and a mean value of the brake oil pressure after a peak.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the electronic control unit is further configured to identify to which class the difference corresponds among a plurality of classes that is divided in order of a magnitude of the difference.

9 . A vehicle comprising the information processing device according to claim 7 .

10 . An information processing system comprising:

the information processing device according to claim 7 ; and

a server that manages information sent from the information processing device.

11 . The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the electronic control unit acquires data of the amount of operation of the vehicle from at least one sensor provided on the vehicle.

12 . The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the electronic control unit acquires data of the amount of operation of the vehicle from a memory in which is stored the data of the amount of operation of the vehicle obtained from at least one sensor provided on the vehicle.
