INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18509606 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

The abstract of this patent application describes an information processing apparatus that presents users with driving assessment missions, allows them to select and clear missions, and then offers more challenging missions based on their performance.

Simplified Explanation:

- An information processing apparatus helps users improve their driving skills by presenting them with missions, allowing them to select and clear missions, and offering more difficult missions as they progress.

Key Features and Innovation:

- Presents users with a variety of driving assessment missions. - Allows users to select and clear missions based on their performance. - Offers more challenging missions as users clear previous ones.

Potential Applications:

- Driver training and education programs. - Driving assessment and evaluation tools. - Gamified driving improvement applications.

Problems Solved:

- Lack of personalized and progressive driving assessment tools. - Limited feedback and motivation for driving skill improvement. - Difficulty in tracking and measuring driving skill progression.

Benefits:

- Personalized and engaging driving assessment experience. - Clear feedback and motivation for users to improve their driving skills. - Progressive and challenging missions to enhance driving abilities.

Commercial Applications:

- "Smart" driving assessment apps for individual users. - Integration into driver education programs and simulators. - Potential partnerships with insurance companies for safe driving incentives.

Questions about Driving Assessment Technology:

1. How does this technology track and measure driving skill progression? - The technology tracks driving skill progression by presenting users with missions, allowing them to clear missions based on their performance, and offering more challenging missions as they progress.

2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond driver training? - This technology can be used for driving assessment and evaluation tools, as well as gamified driving improvement applications.

Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit is configured to execute: a process of presenting a user a plurality of missions respectively corresponding to a plurality of items of driving assessment; a process of setting one or more first missions for the user, the one or more first missions being selected by the user from among the plurality of missions; a process of determining whether the user has cleared the one or more first missions based on the driving assessment corresponding to the one or more first missions; and a process of presenting the user the plurality of missions including a second mission higher in difficulty level than the one or more first missions in response to a situation that the user has cleared the one or more first missions.
