Abstract

An information processing device includes a storage unit configured to store first information, the first information indicating a behavior history of a user during driving of a vehicle in a first period and a control unit configured to perform a driving evaluation of the user based on the first information for the first period and configured to acquire a degree of credence based on a result of the driving evaluation of the user, the degree of credence indicating a degree of credit of the user in a predetermined service.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing device comprising:
a storage unit configured to store first information, the first information indicating a behavior history of a user during driving of a vehicle in a first period; and a control unit configured to perform a driving evaluation of the user based on the first information for the first period and configured to acquire a degree of credence based on a result of the driving evaluation of the user, the degree of credence indicating a degree of credit of the user in a predetermined service.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to acquire the degree of credence of the user in the predetermined service based on first credit information about credit of the user and on the result of the driving evaluation of the user that is weighted more heavily than the first credit information.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to count at least one of a cumulative time of traveling with a speed equal to or less than a legal speed, the number of times of sudden braking operations, the number of times of sudden starting operations, the number of times of sudden steering operations, the number of times of horn sounding operations, the number of times of behaviors to give way to a pedestrian, and the number of times of behaviors to allow another vehicle to merge into traffic based on the first information for the first period and is configured to perform the driving evaluation of the user based on the count.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the control unit is configured to acquire an adding point according to at least one of the cumulative time of traveling with a speed equal to or less than a legal speed, the number of times of behaviors to give way to a pedestrian, and the number of times of behaviors to allow another vehicle to merge into traffic and to acquire a subtracting point according to at least one of the number of times of sudden braking operations, the number of times of sudden starting operations, the number of times of sudden steering operations, and the number of times of horn sounding operations and is configured to acquire a total value of the adding point and the subtracting point as the result of the driving evaluation of the user.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the control unit is configured to adjust the point of each of the cumulative time of traveling with a speed equal to or less than a legal speed, the number of times of sudden braking operations, the number of times of sudden starting operations, the number of times of sudden steering operations, the number of times of horn sounding operations, the number of times of behaviors to give way to a pedestrian, and the number of times of behaviors to allow another vehicle to merge into traffic based on a tendency of influence on the degree of credence of the user for each of the cumulative time of traveling with a speed equal to or less than a legal speed, the number of times of sudden braking operations, the number of times of sudden starting operations, the number of times of sudden steering operations, the number of times of horn sounding operations, the number of times of behaviors to give way to a pedestrian, and the number of times of behaviors to allow another vehicle to merge into traffic that are acquired from first information in a second period that is earlier than the first period.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to perform the driving evaluation based on the first information as well as on road situation information indicating a road situation when the first information is acquired.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined service is a social network service.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is further configured to receive the first information from the vehicle at a predetermined cycle and to store the received first information in the storage unit.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to send a notification about the degree of credence to a user terminal associated with the user.

10 . An information processing method comprising:
storing first information in a storage unit, the first information indicating a behavior history of a user during driving of a vehicle in a first period; performing a driving evaluation of the user based on the first information for the first period; and acquiring a degree of credence based on a result of the driving evaluation of the user, the degree of credence indicating a degree of credit of the user in a predetermined service.

11 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , the information processing method further comprising acquiring the degree of credence of the user in the predetermined service based on first credit information about credit of the user and on the result of the driving evaluation of the user that is weighted more heavily than the first credit information.

12 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , the information processing method further comprising:
counting at least one of a cumulative time of traveling with a speed equal to or less than a legal speed, the number of times of sudden braking operations, the number of times of sudden starting operations, the number of times of sudden steering operations, the number of times of horn sounding operations, the number of times of behaviors to give way to a pedestrian, and the number of times of behaviors to allow another vehicle to merge into traffic based on the first information for the first period; and performing the driving evaluation of the user based on the count.

13 . The information processing method according to claim 12 , the information processing method further comprising:
acquiring an adding point according to at least one of the cumulative time of traveling with a speed equal to or less than a legal speed, the number of times of behaviors to give way to a pedestrian, and the number of times of behaviors to allow another vehicle to merge into traffic; acquiring a subtracting point according to at least one of the number of times of sudden braking operations, the number of times of sudden starting operations, the number of times of sudden steering operations, and the number of times of horn sounding operations; and acquiring a total value of the adding point and the subtracting point as the result of the driving evaluation of the user.

14 . The information processing method according to claim 13 , the information processing method further comprising adjusting the point of each of the cumulative time of traveling with a speed equal to or less than a legal speed, the number of times of sudden braking operations, the number of times of sudden starting operations, the number of times of sudden steering operations, the number of times of horn sounding operations, the number of times of behaviors to give way to a pedestrian, and the number of times of behaviors to allow another vehicle to merge into traffic based on a tendency of influence on the degree of credence of the user for each of the cumulative time of traveling with a speed equal to or less than a legal speed, the number of times of sudden braking operations, the number of times of sudden starting operations, the number of times of sudden steering operations, the number of t
