Marks to be displayed include, for example, the autumn leaves mark for elderly drivers, the young leaves mark for beginner drivers, and the mark that reminds drivers of gold licenses after obtaining a gold license. .

 If the identification information does not match in step S504 (step S504: No), it is determined whether or not to register a passenger (step S507). For example, the passenger registration may be configured to display a message indicating that the passenger registration is required on the display unit 303 and to prompt the passenger to determine whether or not to register!

 [0064] In step S507, when the passenger is not registered (step S507: No), the navigation control unit 301 outputs a passenger information input request to the display unit 303 (step S509). Human power also accepts input of passenger information.

 [0065] Then, the navigation control unit 301 outputs to the display unit 303 to notify the vehicle driving information related to the driving of the vehicle to the outside of the vehicle (surrounding vehicles) based on the occupant information input from the occupant. The display unit 303 displays vehicle driving information (step S506). Then, a series of processing ends.

 [0066] When the passenger is registered in step S507 (step S507: Yes), the registration identification information of the passenger is displayed by displaying on the display unit 303 a message prompting the passenger to register. Information is registered (step S508). Registration of registration identification information of a passenger is performed by, for example, extracting feature points from a passenger image photographed by the passenger photographing unit 313. In addition, the passenger information may be registered by operating the user operation unit 302 by the user. Then, the process returns to step S504 and the same processing is repeated.

[0067] In the description of Fig. 5, the force route configured to take a passenger image while waiting for the route to travel (step S501: Yes) (step S502). A passenger image may be taken before traveling (step S502). For example, First, take a picture of the passenger when boarding, when starting the engine of the vehicle, or when operating the passenger.

(Step S502), the route may be traveled.

 [0068] In the description of FIG. 5, the passenger image is taken and the identification information is generated based on the information obtained by extracting the feature points of the passenger's face, but the passenger is not the identification information of the individual passenger. The configuration may be such that the personnel and configuration are generated as identification information. Specifically, for example, it may be possible to identify the passengers and composition of the passengers so that the boarding of adults, boarding with babies, and their boarding positions can be identified!

 In the description of FIG. 5, the registration identification information and the passenger information of the passenger whose registration identification information matches the identification information are registered in the recording medium 305 in advance. It is good also as a structure acquired from an external server etc. via. Further, a configuration in which collation with the identification information in step S504 is performed by an external server. More specifically, the identification information generated in step S503 is transmitted to the external server via the communication unit 308, and the external server collates with the registered identification information registered on the external server. To determine whether the identification information matches the external server. If the identification information matches, the external server transmits the passenger information of the passenger of the registered identification information that matches the identification information to the navigation device 300.

 In the description of FIG. 5, the output of the vehicle driving information is displayed on the display unit 303. However, the sound output from the speaker 312 and the communication unit 308 are displayed in the same manner as the display of the display unit 303. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which at least any one of transmission via the outside is performed. Further, the output of the vehicle driving information may be determined based on a predetermined standard as to whether or not the information is to be notified to the outside of the vehicle (surrounding vehicles). As for the predetermined standard, for example, a threshold value may be set for the age of the elderly or baby, and a threshold value may be set for the number of passengers. Alternatively, criteria such as the number of years of license acquisition may be provided.

[0071] Next, a case where a passenger's behavior is photographed by the passenger photographing unit 313 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the contents of the process using the behavior information in the navigation device that works on the present embodiment. In this flowchart, the process of notifying the vehicle driving information to the outside of the vehicle (the surrounding vehicle) using the behavior information will be described. In the flowchart of FIG. 6, the navigation device 300 first determines whether or not the route is being traveled. (Step S601). Here, waiting for the vehicle to travel along the route, if the vehicle is traveling (step S601: Yes), then the passenger photographing unit 313 photographs the behavior of the passenger (step S602). For example, take a picture of the movement of the eyeball of the passenger.

 [0072] Then, the navigation control unit 301 generates the passenger's behavior information from the movement of the passenger's eye taken in step S602 (step S603). The behavior information includes, for example, information obtained by extracting feature points of the movement of the passenger's eyeball. The behavioral information such as sleepiness, fatigue, and physical condition registered in the recording medium 305 in advance, the driving of the vehicle, etc. It is checked against specific behavior information including the characteristics of eye movements in the driving state, such as whether or not the surrounding passengers are visible and the skill level of driving.

 [0073] Subsequently, the navigation control unit 301 collates the specific behavior information registered in advance in the recording medium 305 with the behavior information generated in step S603! /, Then, it is determined whether or not the passenger is in a specific behavior state (step S604). If the vehicle is in the specific motion state (step S604: Yes), based on the determined specific behavior state, the display unit 303 is notified to notify the vehicle operation information related to the vehicle operation to the outside of the vehicle (surrounding vehicles). The display 303 displays the vehicle driving information (Step S605). Then, a series of processing ends.

[0074] Here, the vehicle driving information may be configured in advance according to a specific behavior state, for example. More specifically, if there is an abnormality in the passenger's health condition, the display unit 303 indicates that the person with poor physical condition is riding. If this is the case, “There was an abnormality in the driver's physical condition. The driver will be decelerated, so please be considerate by others.” If the driver does not know the surrounding situation, the display 303 may indicate that the surrounding situation may not have been confirmed. Please prompt me to drive safely with something nosing. " In addition, the display unit 303 may be configured to detect the driving skill level of the driver and display the rank. The driver's driving proficiency level is determined based on the driver's behavioral ability set in advance, or the driver's behavior is transmitted to an external server. Also, it is possible to receive the determined result from an external server.

 In step S604, if the occupant is not in the specific behavior state (step S604: No), the process returns to step S602 and the same processing is repeated. If the passenger is not in the specific behavior state, a display message or the like may be set in advance when the passenger is not in the specific behavior state.

 [0076] In the description of Fig. 6, the configuration is such that the behavior of the occupant is photographed (Step S602) while waiting for the route to be traveled and when traveling (Step S601: Yes). A configuration may be adopted in which the behavior of the passenger is photographed before traveling along the route (step S602). For example, take a picture of the behavior of the passenger at predetermined intervals during boarding, when the vehicle starts, when the vehicle engine is started, when the passenger operates, and during travel (step S602). May be. Or it is good also as a structure which image | photographs a passenger's behavior for every predetermined interval, and judges whether a passenger, such as fatigue and sleepiness, is a specific behavior state.

 In the description of FIG. 6, the movement information is generated by photographing the movement of the passenger's eyeball in step S602, but the opening / closing of the window, the movement of the entire body of the passenger, the volume in the vehicle, and the like. For example, force may generate behavior information. For example, when a passenger opens a window, the behavior may make the person feel uncomfortable, and behavior information related to the behavior of the whole body and noise may be generated.

 In the description of FIG. 6, the specific behavior information is preliminarily registered in the recording medium 305. However, the specific behavior information may be configured to acquire force such as an external server via the communication unit 308. . In that case, the behavior information generated in step S603 is transmitted to the external server via the communication unit 308, and the external server collates with the specific behavior information registered in advance in the external server. ! /, The matched specific behavior information is transmitted to the navigation device 300.

Further, in the description of FIG. 6, the output of the vehicle driving information is displayed on the display unit 303. However, in the same manner as the display on the display unit 303, the audio output from the speaker 312 and the communication unit 308 are displayed. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which at least any one of transmission via the outside is performed. Further, the output of the vehicle driving information may be determined based on a predetermined standard as to whether or not the information is to be notified to the outside of the vehicle (surrounding vehicles). Predetermined criteria are, for example, to inform elderly people and babies In this regard, a threshold may be set for age, and a threshold may be set for the number of passengers. Alternatively, criteria such as the number of years of license acquisition may be provided.

 [0080] Further, in the present embodiment, the processing using the passenger information and the processing using the behavior information are processed together with the respective functions of the forces described with reference to Figs. 5 and 6. It is good also as a structure.

 In this embodiment, the passenger is photographed from the passenger photographing unit 313 such as a camera, and the passenger identification information or the behavior information is generated. However, the passenger is photographed. Instead, it may be configured to generate identification information for identifying the passenger or passenger behavior information from information acquired by other sensors.

 [0082] For the generation of the identification information or behavior information, for example, a seating sensor that detects the load distribution and the total load on the seat on which the passenger is seated may be used. By using the seating sensor, it is possible to obtain information on the passenger's personnel and physique. One or more fingerprint sensors may be provided at predetermined positions in the vehicle. The fingerprint sensor can obtain the passenger's fingerprint information and identify the passenger. In addition, a voice sensor such as a microphone may be provided in the vehicle. Voice information such as the volume, sound quality, and pitch of the passenger can be obtained by the voice sensor, so that the passenger can be identified, and the personnel, gender, sleepiness, etc. can be determined. A human body sensor that measures pulse, sweating, etc. may also be used. For example, by using information such as pulse and sweating, the physical condition of the passenger can be grasped, and the behavior of the passenger can be determined.

 [0083] It is also possible to obtain personal information from a mobile phone owned by the passenger! Alternatively, information such as personnel may be acquired by detecting the attachment / detachment of a seat belt or child seat.

 [0084] As described above, according to the present embodiment, based on the passenger information and the behavior of the passenger, the mobile body driving information related to the driving of the mobile body can be notified to the outside of the mobile body. Therefore, the mobile body can call attention outside the mobile body and can drive safely on the route.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the passenger is photographed to generate the passenger identification information and behavior information. And obtained by comparing identification information, behavior information with registered identification information, specific behavior information Based on the passenger information and the specific behavior information, the vehicle driving information can be output to notify the outside of the vehicle (the surrounding vehicles). Therefore, it is possible to alert the outside of the vehicle (surrounding vehicles) and ensure the safety of the vehicle and the surroundings.

 [0086] Further, vehicle driving information can be notified outside the vehicle (surrounding vehicles) based on the health condition of the passenger. Therefore, it is possible to promptly and safely transport sick people and injured people by encouraging cooperation outside the vehicle (neighboring vehicles).

 [0087] Further, in the present invention, the output of the vehicle driving information is determined based on a predetermined criterion.

 It can be determined whether or not the information power to inform (the surrounding vehicles) is not. Therefore, it is not necessary to call attention to the outside of the vehicle (surrounding vehicles)! The necessary vehicle driving information can be accurately notified to the outside of the vehicle (surrounding vehicles) without informing the vehicle driving information.

 [0088] In addition, in the present invention, instead of taking a picture of a passenger, information acquired by various means such as a seating sensor, a fingerprint sensor, and a voice sensor can be used. It is possible to improve the performance.

 [0089] Further, in the present invention, if the vehicle driving information to be output to the outside of the vehicle (surrounding vehicles) has a function capable of notifying the passenger in the own vehicle, the passenger is in the driving state of the own vehicle. Can be confirmed. Therefore, passengers can respond quickly to other passengers with abnormal health conditions or reduced driver concentration by stopping the vehicle and taking a break or changing drivers. be able to.

 [0090] In addition, if the function of the present invention is implemented by a device such as a mobile phone that is carried by an individual, people who are suddenly in a state of physical condition such as the elderly can quickly detect it. Can respond.
