Probe information collection and distribution systems, methods, and programs
First Claim
1. A statistical processing server that obtains probe information from an onboard device in a vehicle and performs statistical processing on the probe information, the statistical processing server comprising:
- a memory;
a communication interface that receives data from the onboard device; and
a controller specifically configured to;
obtain a vehicle attribute that specifies an attribute of the vehicle and probe information indicating a state of the vehicle from the received data;
accumulate the probe information in the memory;
obtain an accumulated quantity of the probe information for each of a plurality of categories included in the vehicle attribute;
determine one of the plurality of categories for which statistics of the probe information will be calculated based on the accumulated quantity of the probe information;
calculate the statistics of the probe information of the determined category;
generate distribution data based on the calculated statistics; and
send the distribution data to the onboard device of the vehicle belonging to the determined category.

Abstract
Probe information collection and distribution systems, methods, and programs obtain a vehicle attribute from an onboard device in a vehicle that specifies an attribute of the vehicle and probe information of a measured vehicle behavior. The systems, methods, and programs accumulate the probe information in a memory. The systems, methods, and programs obtain an accumulated quantity of the probe information for each of a plurality of categories included in the vehicle attribute and determine one of the plurality of categories for which statistics of the probe information will be calculated based on the accumulated quantity of the probe information. The systems, methods, and programs calculate the statistics of the probe information of the determined category, generate distribution data based on the calculated statistics, and send the distribution data to the onboard device of the vehicle belonging to the determined category.
