Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit is configured to acquire traveling information of one vehicle and appearance information of an occupant of the one vehicle, which are obtained in association with driving of the one vehicle to a lodging facility, estimate biological information of the occupants of the vehicle by comparing the acquired traveling information and the acquired appearance information with traveling information and appearance information previously obtained in association with driving of other vehicles, and determine first information associated with a service provided at the lodging facility. The service is matched with the estimated biological information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
a control unit configured to:
acquire traveling information of one vehicle and appearance information of an occupant of the one vehicle, which are obtained in association with driving of the one vehicle to a lodging facility;
estimate biological information of the occupant of the one vehicle by comparing the acquired traveling information and the acquired appearance information with traveling information and appearance information previously obtained in association with driving of other vehicles; and
determine first information associated with a service provided at the lodging facility, the service being matched with the estimated biological information.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first information includes details of a service provided at the lodging facility reserved by the occupants of the one vehicle in advance.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the control unit is configured to select one lodging facility matching the appearance information and the number of occupants of the one vehicle, from among a plurality of candidate lodging facilities; and the first information includes details of a service provided at the selected lodging facility.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to, upon determining that the biological information reaches a threshold, determine second information matching the biological information, the occupant of the one vehicle which is traveling being informed of the second information, and the second information being associated with details of a service provided in a service facility existing on a travel route to the lodging facility.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:
the control unit is configured to select one service facility matching a driving history of the occupant of the one vehicle, from among a plurality of candidate service facilities; and the second information includes details of a service provided at the selected service facility.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to acquire big data in which the traveling information and the appearance information previously obtained in association with driving of the other vehicles are associated with biological information of occupants of the other vehicles.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the biological information includes a fatigue level of the occupant of the one vehicle.

8 . An information processing system comprising:
the information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ; and the one vehicle configured to provide the traveling information and the appearance information to the information processing apparatus.

9 . A program causing an information processing apparatus to execute an operation, the operation comprising:
acquiring traveling information of one vehicle and appearance information of an occupant of the one vehicle, which are obtained in association with driving of the one vehicle to a lodging facility; estimating biological information of the occupant of the one vehicle by comparing the acquired traveling information and the acquired appearance information with traveling information and appearance information previously obtained in association with driving of other vehicles; and determining first information associated with a service provided at the lodging facility, the service being matched with the estimated biological information.

10 . The program according to claim 9 , wherein the first information includes details of a service provided at the lodging facility reserved by the occupant of the one vehicle in advance.

11 . The program according to claim 10 , wherein:
the operation includes selecting one lodging facility matching the appearance information and the number of the occupants of the one vehicle, from among a plurality of candidate lodging facilities; and the first information includes details of a service provided at the selected lodging facility.

12 . The program according to claim 9 , wherein the operation includes determining, upon determining that the biological information reaches a threshold, second information matching the biological information, the occupant of the one vehicle which is traveling being informed of the second information, and the second information being associated with details of a service provided in a service facility existing on a travel route to the lodging facility.

13 . The program according to claim 12 , wherein:
the operation includes selecting one service facility matching a driving history of the occupant of the one vehicle, from among a plurality of candidate service facilities; and the second information includes details of a service provided at the selected service facility.

14 . The program according to claim 9 , wherein the operation includes acquiring big data in which the traveling information and the appearance information previously obtained in association with the driving of the other vehicles are associated with biological information of occupants of the other vehicles.

15 . A vehicle comprising:
a control unit configured to:
acquire traveling information of the vehicle and appearance information of an occupant of the vehicle, which are obtained in association with driving of the vehicle to a lodging facility;
estimate biological information of the occupant of the vehicle by comparing the acquired traveling information and the acquired appearance information with traveling information and appearance information previously obtained in association with driving of other vehicles; and
determine first information associated with a service provided at the lodging facility, the service being matched with the estimated biological information.

16 . The vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein the first information includes details of a service provided at the lodging facility reserved by the occupant of the vehicle in advance.

17 . The vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein:
the control unit is configured to select one lodging facility matching the appearance information and the number of the occupants of the vehicle, from among a plurality of candidate lodging facilities; and the first information includes details of a service provided at the selected lodging facility.

18 . The vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein the control unit is configured to, upon determining that the biological information reaches a threshold, determine second information matching the biological information, the occupant of the vehicle which is traveling being informed of the second information, and the second information being associated with details of a service provided in a service facility existing on a travel route to the lodging facility.

19 . The vehicle according to claim 18 , wherein:
the control unit is configured to select one service facility matching a driving history of the occupant of the vehicle, from among a plurality of candidate service facilities; and the second information includes details of a service provided in the selected service facility.

20 . The vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein the control unit is configured to acquire big data in which the traveling information and the appearance information previously obtained in associati
