Abstract

An information processing system includes a vehicle and an information processor that acquires information acquired by the vehicle from the vehicle. The vehicle acquires location information of the vehicle, acquires driving information of a driver of the vehicle, and provides route guidance on the basis of route guidance information that is generated in the information processor. The information processor stores traffic accident information, in which driving skill of a driver involved in a traffic accident occurred in the past and the number of the traffic accident at a point where the traffic accident has occurred are associated with location information of the point where the traffic accident has occurred, calculates the driving skill of the driver on the basis of the driving information, and generates the route guidance information on the basis of the calculated driving skill and the traffic accident information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing system comprising:
a vehicle; and
an information processor that acquires information acquired by the vehicle from the vehicle, wherein
the vehicle acquires location information of the vehicle and acquires driving information of a driver of the vehicle, so as to provide route guidance on the basis of route guidance information generated in the information processor,
the information processor stores traffic accident information, in which driving skill of a driver involved in a traffic accident occurred in a past and a number of the traffic accident at a point where the traffic accident has occurred are associated with location information of the point, and calculates the driving skill of the driver on the basis of the driving information, so as to generate the route guidance information on the basis of the calculated driving skill and the traffic accident information, and
when the number of the traffic accident in the traffic accident information changes by the driving skill, the information processor generates the route guidance information that differs by the calculated driving skill.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
when the number of the traffic accident in the traffic accident information is not correlated h the driving skill, the information processor generates a same route guidance information regardless of the calculated driving skill.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the vehicle includes at least one of a cabin camera that is installed in a cabin of the vehicle and an outside camera that captures an image on an outside of the vehicle, and acquires the driving information from at least one of an image captured by the cabin camera and a travel image of the vehicle captured by the outside camera.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an information processing system including a vehicle and an information processor acquiring information acquired by the vehicle from the vehicle, cause the information processing system to:
acquire location information of the vehicle;
acquire driving information of a driver of the vehicle;
provide route guidance on the basis of route guidance information that is generated in the information processor;
store traffic accident information which driving skill of a driver involved in a traffic accident occurred in a past and a number of the traffic accident at a point where the traffic accident has occurred are associated with location information of the point;
calculate the driving skill of the driver on the basis of the driving information;
generate the route guidance information on the basis of the calculated driving skill and the traffic accident information; and
when the number of the traffic accident in the traffic accident information changes by the driving skill, generate the route guidance information that differs by the calculated driving skill.

5. A control method in an information processing system including a vehicle and an information processor acquiring information acquired by the vehicle from the vehicle, the control method comprising:
acquiring location information of the vehicle;
acquiring driving information of the driver of the vehicle;
providing route guidance on the basis of route guidance information that is generated in the information processor;
storing traffic accident information in which driving skill of a driver involved in a traffic accident occurred in a past and a number of the traffic accident at a point where the traffic accident has occurred are associated with location information of the point;
calculating the driving skill of the driver on the basis of the driving information;
generating the route guidance information on the basis of the calculated driving skill and the traffic accident information; and
when the number of the traffic accident in the traffic accident information changes by the driving skill, generating the route guidance information that differs by the calculated driving skill.
