Abstract

An information processing device includes a processor configured to execute: acquiring information related to driving of a user of a vehicle during a predetermined period; extracting one or more predetermined behaviors according to the acquired information related to the driving; determining one or more first items to be recommended to the user according to degrees of deviation from standard states of the one or more predetermined behaviors corresponding to the respective extracted one or more predetermined behaviors; and transmitting information related to the first items to a terminal of the user.

Claims (45)

1 . An information processing device comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute:

acquiring information related to driving of a driver of a vehicle during a predetermined period;

extracting one or more predetermined actions according to the acquired information related to the driving;

determining one or more first items to be provided to the driver according to degrees of deviation from standard states of the one or more predetermined actions corresponding to the respective extracted one or more predetermined actions; and

transmitting information related to the one or more first items to a terminal of the driver, wherein

the one or more first items include a vehicle equipment item or an accessory installed in the vehicle, and

after the predetermined period ends, the processor extracts the one or more predetermined actions, determines the one or more first items, generates a diagnosis report including information related to the one or more first items, and transmits the diagnosis report to the terminal of the driver.

2 . An information processing device comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute:

acquiring information related to driving of a user of a vehicle during a predetermined period;

extracting one or more predetermined behaviors according to the acquired information related to the driving;

determining one or more first items to be recommended to the user according to degrees of deviation from standard states of the one or more predetermined behaviors corresponding to the respective extracted one or more predetermined behaviors; and

transmitting information related to the one or more first items to a terminal of the user, wherein

the one or more first items include a vehicle equipment item or an accessory installed in the vehicle, and

after the predetermined period ends, the processor extracts the one or more predetermined behaviors, determines the one or more first items, generates a diagnosis report including information related to the one or more first items, and transmits the diagnosis report to the terminal of the user.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to further execute:

acquiring one or more physical amounts relating to the driving of the user during the predetermined period as the information related to the driving of the user during the predetermined period; and

acquiring degrees of deviation from threshold values of the one or more physical amounts as the degrees of deviation from the standard states of the one or more predetermined behaviors.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to further execute:

determining one or more first behaviors to be notified to the user among the one or more predetermined behaviors according to the degrees of deviation from the threshold values of the one or more physical amounts corresponding to the respective extracted one or more predetermined behaviors;

determining the one or more first items according to the one or more first behaviors; and

transmitting the information related to the one or more first items along with messages corresponding to the one or more first behaviors to the terminal of the user.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to determine, as the first item, an item corresponding to a predetermined behavior with a highest degree of deviation.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to determine, as the first item, an item corresponding to a predetermined behavior with a largest number of times of occurrence.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to determine, as the first item, an item corresponding to a predetermined behavior that has occurred last in the predetermined period.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the one or more first items such that the number of the one or more first items is equal to or smaller than a predetermined number.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , further comprising a memory configured to store information related to items corresponding to the one or more predetermined behaviors.

10 . An information processing method executed by a computer, comprising:

acquiring information related to driving of a user of a vehicle during a predetermined period;

extracting one or more predetermined behaviors according to the acquired information related to the driving;

determining one or more first items to be recommended to the user according to degrees of deviation from standard states of the one or more predetermined behaviors corresponding to the respective extracted one or more predetermined behaviors; and

transmitting information related to the one or more first items to a terminal of the user, wherein

the one or more first items include a vehicle equipment item or an accessory installed in the vehicle, and

the method further includes, after the predetermined period ends, extracting the one or more predetermined behaviors, determining the one or more first items, generating a diagnosis report including information related to the one or more first items, and transmitting the diagnosis report to the terminal of the user.

11 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

acquiring one or more physical amounts relating to the driving of the user during the predetermined period as the information related to the driving of the user during the predetermined period; and

acquiring degrees of deviation from threshold values of the one or more physical amounts as the degrees of deviation from the standard states of the one or more predetermined behaviors.

12 . The information processing method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

determining one or more first behaviors to be notified to the user among the one or more predetermined behaviors according to the degrees of deviation from the threshold values of the one or more physical amounts corresponding to the respective extracted one or more predetermined behaviors;

determining the one or more first items according to the one or more first behaviors; and

transmitting the information related to the one or more first items along with messages corresponding to the one or more first behaviors to the terminal of the user.

13 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising determining, as the first item, an item corresponding to a predetermined behavior with a highest degree of deviation.

14 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising determining, as the first item, an item corresponding to a predetermined behavior with a largest number of times of occurrence.

15 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising determining, as the first item, an item corresponding to a predetermined behavior that has occurred last in the predetermined period.

16 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising determining the one or more first items such that the number of the one or more first items is equal to or smaller than a predetermined number.

17 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising storing information related to items corresponding to the one or more predetermined behaviors.
