Description

User information management apparatus and user information management method

The present invention provides a user of a vehicle such as a car with user information on parking contents, such as when and how far the user has parked so far, from a plurality of unspecified large number of vehicles. The profile of the user is estimated by comparing the statistical information on parking at the parked facility (= POI (Point Of Interest)) of each vehicle created using the collected probe information, and the profile of the estimated user The present invention relates to a user information management apparatus and user information management method for providing facility information recommended to the user based on the above.

Conventionally, when providing facility information to vehicles, such as a car, facility information (for example, coupon information) was distributed uniformly by the distance from the current position of vehicles. For this reason, the user had to search for a facility that matches his / her attribute from among a large number of distributed facility information.
For example, when moving to a destination, there is a need to stop at a facility by eating, toileting, refueling, etc. along the way. As the solution method, the on-vehicle navigation device mounted on the vehicle transmits the current position of the vehicle to the navigation server, while the navigation server detects facilities within a predetermined range of the current position of the vehicle and a future arrival point. A navigation system has been devised which presents the searched facility to the user after the search (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP, 2015-184072, A

In the system disclosed in Patent Document 1, facility information (for example, coupon information) is distributed uniformly at a distance from the current position of the vehicle, so for example, counter restaurant information is provided to the family layer On the contrary, there was a risk of providing single-person restaurant information for the family or delivering facility information different from the needs. For this reason, it is necessary for the user to search for facilities matching the user's attributes from facility information including facility information not suitable for the user, and priority is given to facilities information originally matching the user's attributes with respect to the user. There was a risk that information on facilities that should be displayed could not be provided efficiently.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems. The present invention makes it possible for a user who is in a vehicle to be able to recommend facility information that matches user profile information created based on the user's previous parking content, thereby satisfying the user.

The traffic information includes, for example, the number of traveling vehicles for each link, the required travel time, traffic congestion information, traffic regulation information, and factors affecting the movement cost such as weather information. In addition, the past traffic information and the like of the link are also recorded.

<Facility information area 112>
The facility information area 112 of the storage unit 11 includes facility identification information (facility ID), name, facility type (and / or genre), telephone number, address, business hours, latitude and longitude, etc. Facility information database in which information of each facility is stored including information provided, menus provided if the facility is a restaurant, facility information on commodity services, statistical index of facility parking lot, space information, coupon issue information, etc. 1121 is included.

Here, the facility ID is unique identification information assigned to each facility. It is preferable that the facility ID is further hierarchically classified by genre in each facility type for each facility type, and the ID is assigned. For example, as a facility type, a store type such as a restaurant, a supermarket, or a gym can be mentioned as an example. Furthermore, when the facility type is a restaurant, for example, genres based on the contents of provided food such as Japanese food, Chinese food, Western food, Italian food, French food, coffee shop etc. as classification according to multiple genres. A genre etc. based on the viewpoint of speed and convenience, such as a restaurant etc., is mentioned as an example. Here, the genre can be given by combining a plurality of genres according to the content. For example, Western food and fast food are examples. The facility type, genre, etc. are not limited to this.

<Statistical index of facility parking lot>
Next, the statistical index of the facility parking lot will be described. The statistical index of facility parking lot refers to the parking date and time, parking time, number of times of parking, and unique user of the unspecified number of moving objects in the facility parking lot obtained based on the probe information etc. collected from the unspecified number of moving objects The time of any combination such as season, month, day, weekday / holiday, and time zone, etc. in the facility parking lot calculated from parking information including the number (the number of different mobile units parked in the parking lot) etc. It is a statistical value which shows the characteristic of the said facility parking lot which shows the average value of parking time, the average value of the number of parkings, dispersion | distribution, a standard deviation value etc. in a zone | band. In addition, a mobile body parked in the said parking lot area as what shows the area | region (a "parking lot area") of predetermined magnitude | size centering on facility parking lot position information, for example, about facility parking lot position. In this case, it may be regarded as parked at the parking lot position.
In addition, as a statistical index of facility parking lot, although a statistical value in a time zone of arbitrary combinations, such as a season, a month, a day, weekdays and holidays, and a time zone, is preferred as mentioned above, it is not limited to this. For example, it may be a combination of weekdays and holidays, and time zones.

Based on the statistical index of each facility parking lot, for example, the degree of congestion on a weekday (for each time zone) of the facility, the average stopping time per vehicle, the average stopping time for each holiday (for each time zone), etc. The characteristics of are known. Note that the statistical index of the facility parking lot may include, for example, information divided into categories of vehicles (mobiles). Here, the category type means, for example, a type such as a minivan or a sedan.
From the statistical index of the facility parking lot, it is possible to estimate the feature of the user who uses the facility. For example, based on the average parking time in the facility parking lot, the facility does not keep the user waiting in a holiday lunch time zone, or it is a facility with a short service provision, a short stay time, or a long time It is possible to estimate the type of facility with a long stay time, etc. In addition, it is preferable that the statistical index of the facility parking lot be appropriately updated.
In addition to the statistical index for each facility parking lot, the facility information database 1121 or the facility information area 112 is an average for all facilities belonging to the facility parking group grouped by facility type and / or facility category. The parking time and the standard deviation value (also referred to as “statistical index of facility parking lot group”) can be calculated and stored. By doing so, statistical index of facility parking lot group as a kind of virtual facility parking lot can be obtained. In that case, it is preferable that the statistical index of the facility parking lot group is appropriately updated along with the statistical index of the facility parking lot.
Further, grouping of facility parking lots is not limited to grouping by facility type and / or facility genre. For example, the facility parking lot statistical index (average parking time and standard deviation value, etc.) for facilities included in the types (for example, places where meals are provided, such as cafeterias and restaurants) where the service content provided by the facilities can be replaced respectively Based on, it may be a grouping into which facilities having similar statistical indices are grouped. As a result, facilities belonging to the same group will be composed of facilities having a similar distribution of stay time, for example, when recommending facilities by stay time, they can be used as a set of alternative facilities . That is, when the distribution of stay time of a ramen shop and a fast food shop is similar, both a ramen shop or a fast food point can be selected as a recommended facility.
Note that the facility information database 1121 is not limited to one physically composed of one database. The data contained in the facility information database 1121 may be distributed to a plurality of files, and for example, it may be a distributed database linked by a facility ID or the like.

For example, in the case of a user who only stays for 30 minutes at a standard facility (POI), for example, staying at 1 hour on a holiday daytime, it is impatient to compare the behavior characteristic of the user with the standard user User profile information of can be created and updated automatically.

(2) The server system 1 is a facility suitable for, for example, stopping by a user who is the user of the mobile unit 6 based on user profile information including user preferences and user behavior characteristics. Information can be provided. The facility information according to the user profile information that is automatically created and updated is preferentially provided without any special operation by the user, and the user satisfaction is improved.

(3) The server system 1 can appropriately estimate, for the user who is the user of the mobile object 6, the stay time in the facility where the user stops by in the route, based on the user profile information including the behavior characteristic of the user. For example, for impatient users, it is possible to improve arrival prediction accuracy at a destination or the like by calculating a stop time shorter than the average user.

The user information management system 100 of the present invention can be executed by hardware or software.
