INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18299059 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device for vehicles that evaluates the driver's driving and adjusts the output method of the evaluation information based on the driver's reaction. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • An information processing device for vehicles evaluates the driving of the driver.
  • The evaluation information is output while the vehicle is being driven.
  • A specification unit identifies the driver's reaction to the evaluation information.
  • An estimation unit determines the appropriate output method for the evaluation information based on the driver's reaction.
  • A changing unit adjusts the output method of the evaluation information to match the estimated method.

Potential Applications

  • Automotive industry: This technology can be applied to vehicles to provide real-time evaluation and feedback to drivers, improving their driving skills and safety.
  • Fleet management: Companies with a fleet of vehicles can use this technology to monitor and evaluate their drivers' performance, enabling them to provide targeted training and improve overall efficiency.

Problems Solved

  • Lack of personalized feedback: The technology addresses the issue of generic evaluation information by adapting the output method based on the driver's reaction, providing personalized feedback.
  • Inefficient evaluation methods: By adjusting the output method, the technology ensures that the evaluation information is delivered in a way that is most effective for the driver, increasing the likelihood of behavior change.

Benefits

  • Improved driving skills: By providing personalized evaluation information, drivers can better understand their strengths and weaknesses, leading to improved driving skills and safer roads.
  • Enhanced driver engagement: The technology encourages drivers to actively respond to the evaluation information, increasing their engagement and motivation to improve.
  • Efficient feedback delivery: By adapting the output method, the technology ensures that the evaluation information is delivered in a way that is most effective for the driver, maximizing the impact of the feedback.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing device includes: a specification unit for specifying a reaction of a driver of a vehicle to evaluation information that evaluates driving of the driver and that is output from an output unit while the vehicle is being driven; an estimation unit for estimating an output method of the evaluation information that is appropriate for the driver based on the reaction of the driver, the reaction being the reaction specified by the specification unit; and a changing unit for changing the output method of the evaluation information to be output from the output unit to the output method of the evaluation information that is estimated by the estimation unit.
