Abstract

The server obtains a first reduction amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the vehicle group and converts the first reduction amount of carbon dioxide into a first amount of the biological group. The server acquires a second reduction amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the first vehicle by driving of the first user associated with the first vehicle included in the vehicle group, and acquires a contribution degree of the first user in the first amount of the biological group based on the second reduction amount of carbon dioxide. The server causes the predetermined display device to display information indicating the first amount of the biological group and the degree of contribution of the first user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing device that includes a control unit that executes:
acquiring a first reduction amount of carbon dioxide emitted from a vehicle group; acquiring a second reduction amount of carbon dioxide emitted from a first vehicle included in the vehicle group through driving by a first user associated with the first vehicle; converting the first reduction amount of carbon dioxide into a first amount of a biological group; acquiring a degree of contribution of the first user in the first amount of the biological group based on the second reduction amount of carbon dioxide; and displaying, on a predetermined display device, information indicating the first amount of the biological group and the degree of contribution of the first user.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit
acquires, for each of the multiple vehicle groups, the first reduction amount of carbon dioxide and the first amount of the biological group, and displays, on the predetermined display device, information indicating the first amount of the biological group for each of the vehicle groups and the degree of contribution of the first user.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein:
the vehicle groups are created based on geographic information about vehicles for multiple vehicles; and the control unit causes the predetermined display device to display information indicating the first amount of the biological group for each of the vehicle groups in a corresponding area on a map.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the biological group is a forest; an amount of the biological group is the number of trees included in the forest or an area of the forest; and the control unit
acquires, as the first amount of the biological group, the number of trees or an area of the forest in which the same amount of carbon dioxide as the first reduction amount of carbon dioxide is able to be absorbed, and
acquires, as the degree of contribution of the first user, the number of trees or an area of the forest in which the same amount of carbon dioxide as the second reduction amount of carbon dioxide is able to be absorbed.

5 . A method in which a computer executes:
acquiring a first reduction amount of carbon dioxide emitted from a vehicle group; acquiring a second reduction amount of carbon dioxide emitted from a first vehicle included in the vehicle group through driving by a first user associated with the first vehicle; converting the first reduction amount of carbon dioxide into a first amount of a biological group; acquiring a degree of contribution of the first user in the first amount of the biological group based on the second reduction amount of carbon dioxide; and displaying, on a predetermined display device, information indicating the first amount of the biological group and the degree of contribution of the first user.
