Information providing method, vehicle system and management device
A vehicle system includes an information providing device, an information collection device, a communication device and a controller. The information providing device provides information to a user of a vehicle about an object that is located in a periphery of the vehicle. The information collection device collects information data related to the object located in the periphery of the vehicle. The communication device communicates with the information collection device and the information providing device. The controller controls the communication device. The controller determines a possibility that an object will enter a monitoring region around the periphery of the vehicle in a case where the vehicle stops at a stop location, and upon determining there is a possibility that the object will enter the monitoring region, information data related to the object is transmitted to an information providing device.
1 . An information providing method for an information processing device that outputs information to a display device that selectively provides information to a user who is scheduled to deboard a vehicle, the information providing method comprising:
acquiring stop location data indicating a stop location at which the vehicle stops;
detecting the vehicle that is traveling is about to stop at the stop location;
detecting an object located in a periphery of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling towards the stop location;
acquiring movement information data, which is information related to movement of the object that was detected;
determining, before the vehicle stops at the stop location, a possibility that the object will enter a monitoring region set around the periphery of the vehicle based on the movement information data in a case where it is determined that the vehicle will stop at the stop location; and
selectively transmitting information data related to the object to the display device for the user who is scheduled to deboard the vehicle at the stop location upon determining the possibility that the object will enter the monitoring region,
the movement information data including a speed and a direction of movement of the object.
2 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
the display device is a mobile information terminal owned by the user who is scheduled to deboard the vehicle at the stop location.
3 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
in addition to the detecting the vehicle that is traveling is about to stop at the stop location, detecting a presence or absence of the user who is scheduled to deboard the vehicle at the stop location.
4 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
the information data related to the object include a direction from which the object enters the monitoring region.
5 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , further comprising
identifying a type of object based on a detection result of the object, and
the information data related to the object include type of object data.
6 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
the information data related to the object include image data capturing at least one of the object and voice data describing the object.
7 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
when a plurality of users board the vehicle and a plurality of display devices are associated with the plurality of users,
the information data related to the object is transmitted to the display device, out of the plurality of display devices, that is associated with the user who is scheduled to deboard at the stop location.
8 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , further comprising
determining whether an arrival time until the vehicle arrives at the stop location is less than or equal to a preset determination time, and
start detection of a target object if the arrival time is less than or equal to the determination time.
9 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
the information data related to the object is transmitted to the display device before the vehicle stops at the stop location.
10 . A vehicle system comprising:
a display device configured to selectively provide information to a user who is scheduled to deboard a vehicle;
an information collection device configured to collect information data related to an object located in a periphery of the vehicle;
a communication device configured to communicate with the information collection device and the display device; and
a controller configured to control the communication device, wherein
the controller is configured to
acquire stop location data indicating a stop location at which the vehicle stops,
detect the vehicle that is traveling is about to stop at the stop location,
detect an object located in a periphery of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling towards the stop location using data acquired from the information collection device,
acquire movement information data, which is information related to movement of the object that was detected using the information collection device,
determine, before the vehicle stops at the stop location, a possibility that the object will enter a monitoring region set around the periphery of the vehicle based on the movement information data in a case where it is determined that the vehicle will stop at the stop location, and
selectively transmit information data related to the object to the display device to the user who is scheduled to deboard the vehicle at the stop location upon determining the possibility that the object will enter the monitoring region,
the movement information data including a speed and a direction of movement of the object.
11 . A management device comprising:
an information collection device configured to collect information data related to an object located in a periphery of a vehicle;
a communication device configured to communicate with a display device that selectively provides information to a user who is scheduled to deboard the vehicle; and
a controller configured to control the communication device, wherein
the controller is configured to
acquire stop location data indicating a stop location at which the vehicle will stop,
detect that the vehicle that is traveling is about to stop at the stop location,
detect an object located in a periphery of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling towards the stop location using data acquired from the information collection device,
acquire movement information data, which is information related to a movement of the object detected by the information collection device,
determine, before the vehicle stops at the stop location, a possibility that the object will enter a monitoring region set around the periphery of the vehicle based on the movement information data in a case where it is determined that the vehicle will stop at the stop location, and
selectively transmit information data related to the object to the display device for the user who is scheduled to deboard the vehicle at the stop location upon determining the object will possibly enter the monitoring region,
the movement information data including a speed and a direction of movement of the object.
12 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
the movement information data includes historical information related to the movement of the object as the vehicle is traveling.
13 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
the movement information data includes historical information related to the speed and the direction of movement of the object as the vehicle is traveling.
14 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
the detecting the object located in the periphery of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling towards the stop location, the acquiring movement information data, the determining the possibility that the object will enter the monitoring region, and the selectively transmitting the information data related to the object to the display device for the user who is scheduled to deboard the vehicle at the stop location are repeated until it is determined that the user scheduled to deboard the vehicle has deboarded the vehicle.
