The CPU 30A, the ROM 30B, the RAM 30C, the storage 30D, and the communication I/F 30E are connected to each other via an internal bus 30F so as to be able to communicate with each other. The functions of the CPU 30A, the ROM 30B, the RAM 30C, and the communication I/F 30E are the same as those of the CPU 20A, the ROM 20B, the RAM 20C, and the wireless communication I/F 20E of the vehicle-mounted device 20 described above. The communication I/F 30E may perform wired communication.

The storage 30D as a memory is configured with a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or SSD (Solid State Drive) and stores various programs and various data. In this embodiment, the storage 30D stores a driving rank management program 110, a driving information database (hereinafter referred to as "driving information DB") 120, and a driving rank database (hereinafter referred to as "driving rank DB") 130. Note that the ROM 30B may store the driving rank management program 110, the driving information DB 120, and the driving rank DB 130.

The driving rank management program 110 is a program for controlling the center server 30. When the driving rank management program 110 is executed, the center server 30 uses the driving information acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 20 to calculate a score, determines a driving rank according to the score, presents the driving rank to the driver of the vehicle, and grants an incentive according to the driving rank. Note that the driving ranks in this embodiment are ranked in the order of "gold", "silver", and "bronze".

The driving information DB 120 stores driving information received from the vehicle-mounted device 20. The driving rank DB 130 stores driving rank information indicating a driving rank determined for each driver. The driving rank DB 130 stores, for each driver, a score calculated using the driving information and a driving rank determined according to the score.

As an example, as shown in FIG. 5, the driving rank information includes the driver's name, driving rank, total mileage, acquisition date, and a score related to the driving information. The score also includes scores calculated for acceleration, deceleration, curves, etc. as calculation targets. Here, the driver's name is the name of the driver related to the driving information, and the category is the category of the driver's license held by the driver. The total mileage is the total mileage of the vehicle 12 when the driving information was acquired, the acquisition date is the date when the driving information was acquired, and the score is the score calculated using the driving information.

Next, the functions of the center server will be described with reference to FIG. 6. As an example, as shown in FIG. 6, in the center server 30 of this embodiment, the CPU 30A executes the driving rank management program 110 to function as an acquisition unit 300, a position information acquisition unit 310, a reception unit 320, a score calculation unit 330, a rank determination unit 340, a presentation unit 350, an assignment unit 360, and a storage unit 370.

The acquisition unit 300 has the function of acquiring driving information transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 20 of the vehicle 12.

The location information acquisition unit 310 has the function of acquiring the location information of the vehicle 12 transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 20 of the vehicle 12 together with the driving information.

The reception unit 320 receives authentication information for authenticating the driver and the driver's license category from the driver. Specifically, the reception unit 320 receives the authentication information and the driver's license category input from the input unit 29.

The score calculation unit 330 uses the driving information to calculate a score according to the driving operation of the driver of the vehicle 12 for each predetermined distance. For example, the score calculation unit 330 calculates the driving operation score for each driver in the driving rank information shown in FIG. 5 every time the vehicle 12 travels 10 km.

As shown in FIG. 5, the score calculation unit 330 calculates the scores of calculation targets such as acceleration, deceleration, and curves using the driving information for each driver acquired by the acquisition unit 300. The score calculation unit 330 calculates the score so that the higher the driving skill for the calculation target is, or the safer the driving is, the larger the numerical value becomes. For example, the score calculation unit 330 calculates the score so that the more gently the acceleration and deceleration are performed, the larger the numerical value becomes.

The score calculation unit 330 according to the present embodiment has been described as calculating a score such that the higher the driving skill of the calculation target is, or the safer the driving is, the larger the value is. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The score calculation unit 330 may change the calculated value according to the category and driving rank. For example, if the category of the driver is "excellent", the score calculation unit 330 may determine that the driver is a safe driver and add a predetermined score to the driver's score. In addition, the score calculated according to the driving rank may be changed so that the higher the driving rank of the driver is, the lower the calculated score is, or the lower the driving rank is, the higher the calculated score is. For example, the score calculation unit 330 changes the calculated score so that the higher the driving rank of the driver is, the smaller the calculated score is (the larger the value to be subtracted is). In addition, the score calculation unit 330 changes the calculated score so that the lower the driving rank of the driver is, the larger the calculated score is (the larger the value to be added is) when calculating the score.

The score calculation unit 330 also adds a score according to the current location of the vehicle 12. Specifically, the score calculation unit 330 uses the location information of the vehicle 12 acquired by the location information acquisition unit 310 to determine whether the vehicle 12 is located at a predetermined location (score addition point), and adds a score if the vehicle 12 is located at the predetermined location.

The rank determination unit 340 determines the driving rank of the driver of the vehicle 12 according to the total score calculated by the score calculation unit 330 for a predetermined period. The rank determination unit 340 calculates the total score for a one-month period for each driver and determines the driving rank of the driver. For example, the rank determination unit 340 determines the driving rank of a driver as bronze if the total score of the driver for a one-month period is less than 1000 points, as silver if the total score is between 1000 points and 1999 points, and as gold if the total score is 2000 points or more.

The rank determination unit 340 also determines the driver's driving rank to be bronze, which is the lowest driving rank, as the initial value, and when a predetermined period has passed and the next period (e.g., the first day of the following month) arrives, it determines the driver's driving rank to be the initial value of bronze.

In this embodiment, the driving rank is reset to the initial value when a predetermined period of time has passed. However, this is not limiting. The previous driving rank may be carried over, or a driving rank that is a predetermined rank lower than the previous driving rank may be determined. For example, if the previous driving rank was gold, the driving rank may be determined to be silver, which is one rank lower, or if the overall rank is four or more ranks, the driving rank may be determined to be two or more ranks lower.

The presentation unit 350 presents the driver with the driving rank associated with the driver. Specifically, the presentation unit 350 transmits the determined driving rank to the vehicle 12 driven by the driver to present the driving rank.

When presenting the driving rank to the driver, the presentation unit 350 presents a score according to the driver's driving operation. Specifically, the presentation unit 350 calculates the total score for each calculation target for each driver over a one-month period and presents the total score to the driver. For example, the presentation unit 350 totals the scores for calculation targets such as acceleration, deceleration, and curves related to the driver over a one-month period and presents the total value of each calculation target. That is, as shown in FIG. 7 as an example, the presentation unit 350 presents the driver's driving rank, the score for each calculation target, and the total score to the driver.

The presenting unit 350 according to the present embodiment has been described as presenting the driving rank of the driver. However, this is not limiting. The driving ranks of other drivers may also be presented. For example, a ranking of the driving rank to which the driver belongs may be presented, and the ranking of the driver relative to other drivers may be presented.

The granting unit 360 grants an incentive according to the driving rank to which the driver belongs. Here, the incentive is, for example, a reward such as points that can be used as payment when purchasing a product, a discount coupon, or a gift certificate that can be exchanged for a product. In this embodiment, a form of granting a reward such as a discount coupon or a gift certificate according to the driving rank to which the driver belongs has been described. However, this is not limited to this. A sticker indicating the driving rank of the driver may be granted. For example, if a driver achieves the highest rank of gold, it is possible to indicate that the driver has achieved a gold driving rank by sending the driver a vehicle sticker indicating that the driver has achieved gold and attaching it to the vehicle.

The memory unit 370 stores the score calculated from the driving information and the acquired driver classification for each driver.

(Flow of Control)

In step S107, the CPU 30A determines whether the driver's license category has been accepted. If the driver's license category has been accepted (step S107: YES), the CPU 30A proceeds to step S108. On the other hand, if the driver's license category has not been accepted (step S107: NO), the CPU 30A proceeds to step S109.

In step S108, the CPU 30A accepts the driver's license classification and stores it in the driving rank DB 130 as driving rank information.

In step S109, the CPU 30A determines whether or not location information has been acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 20. If location information has been acquired (step S109: YES), the CPU 30A proceeds to step S110. On the other hand, if location information has not been acquired (step S109: NO), the CPU 30A proceeds to step S112.

In step S110, CPU 30A determines whether the acquired location information is a predetermined location (score addition point). If it is a predetermined location (score addition point) (step S110: YES), CPU 30A proceeds to step S111. On the other hand, if it is not a predetermined location (score addition point) (step S110: NO), CPU 30A proceeds to step S112.

In step S111, CPU 30A adds a score according to the location information to the total score of the driver.

In step S112, CPU 30A determines whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed. If the predetermined period has elapsed (step S112: YES), CPU 30A proceeds to step S113. On the other hand, if the predetermined period has not elapsed (step S112: NO), CPU 30A proceeds to step S116.

In step S113, the CPU 30A transmits the driver's driving rank to the vehicle-mounted device 20 and displays it.

In step S114, CPU 30A provides the driver with an incentive based on the driver's driving rank.

In step S115, CPU 30A lowers the driver's driving rank from the currently set driving rank and stores this as driving rank information in driving rank DB 130.

In step S116, the CPU 30A determines whether or not to end the process of managing the driving rank. If the process is to be ended (step S116: YES), the CPU 30A ends the process. On the other hand, if the process is not to be ended (step S116: NO), the CPU 30A proceeds to step S101.

[remarks]
In the above embodiment, the driving rank is presented when a predetermined period of time has elapsed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The driving rank and score of the driver may be presented when an instruction to present the driving rank and score is received, or the driving rank and score of the driver may be presented when the end of driving is detected.

In the above embodiment, the driver's driving rank is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device 20 and presented. However, this is not limited to this. For example, the driving rank may be presented by transmitting it to a pre-registered terminal, etc.

In the above embodiment, the reception unit 320 receives the driver's authentication information and the driver's license category input to the input unit 29. However, this is not limited to the above. An image of the driver's license captured by the camera 27 may be received, and the authentication information and the driver's license category may be detected from the image. For example, the driver may be authenticated by detecting information identifying the driver from the name and facial photograph on the driver's license and comparing the information with the name and facial photograph stored in advance. The driver's license category may also be detected by detecting the characters "good" on the driver's license.

In the above embodiment, the total score is calculated for each driver and a rank is determined. However, this is not limited to the above. The total score may be calculated for each team of one or more pre-registered drivers and a rank may be determined. For example, driving ranks for each number of people, such as for two-person teams and three-person teams, may be set in advance, and the total score for each team may be calculated within a predetermined period to determine the driving rank.

In addition, various processes that CPU 20A and CPU 30A execute by reading software (programs) in the above embodiment may be executed by various processors other than the CPU. Examples of processors in this case include PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices) whose circuit configuration can be changed after manufacture, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), and dedicated electric circuits that are processors having circuit configurations designed exclusively to execute specific processes, such as ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits). In addition, each of the above-mentioned processes may be executed by one of these various processors, or may be executed by a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). In addition, the hardware structure of these various processors is, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements.

In the above embodiment, each program has been described as being pre-stored (installed) in a non-transitory recording medium that can be read by a computer.
