Abstract

An information providing apparatus includes a unit that presents an effectiveness of introducing a service of informing a driver during driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, by comparing driving data when the service is provided and driving data when the service is not provided, and outputting a comparison result.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein an effectiveness measuring program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

performing comparison between first driving data and second driving data, the first driving data acquired when an alarm is issued for a driver driving at certain point on a road, and the second driving data acquired when the alarm is not issued for the driver driving thereon; and

outputting a comparison result.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1, wherein

the first driving data and the second driving data indicate a state of driving of entering the certain point in a predetermined similarity range.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1, wherein

the comparison result indicates whether the first driving data indicates an operation in a more decelerating direction compared to the second driving data.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1, wherein

the comparison is performed by comparing speed or number of revolutions of an engine indicated by each of the first driving data and the second driving data.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1, wherein

the comparison is performed by comparing driving data that corresponds to a position or an area in which the alarm has been issued, out of the first driving data.

6. A presentation method comprising:

presenting an effectiveness of introducing a service of informing a driver during driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, by comparing driving data when the service is provided and driving data when the service is not provided, and outputting a comparison result.

7. A service providing method that is associated with a service of informing a driver currently driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, according to a start request of the service, the method comprising:

identifying driving data that is collected before start of the service in response to a request of the start of the service;

comparing the driving data identified in the identifying and driving data that is collected after the request of the start of the service; and

outputting variations in a driving state before and after the start of the service.

8. A service providing method that is associated with a service of informing a driver currently driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, according to a start request of the service, the method comprising:

updating sequentially the point where hard braking is apt to happen;

informing about the point to the driver driving at a position corresponding to the point updated sequentially;

performing comparison among driving data that are collected at different points of time after start of the service; and

outputting variations in a driving state influenced by changes in the point by the updating.

9. An apparatus that measures an effectiveness, the apparatus comprising:

a unit that compares first driving data and second driving data, and outputs a comparison result, the first driving data acquired when an alarm is issued for a driver driving at a certain point on a road, the second driving data acquired when the alarm is not issued for the driver; and

a unit that outputs a comparison result.

10. A presentation apparatus comprising:

a unit that presents an effectiveness of introducing a service of informing a driver during driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, by comparing driving data when the service is provided and driving data when the service is not provided, and outputting a comparison result.

11. A service providing apparatus that executes a service providing method that is associated with a service of informing a driver currently driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, according to a start request, the apparatus comprising:

a first unit configured to identify driving data that is collected before start of the service in response to a request of the start of the service,

a second unit configured to compare the driving data identified by the first unit and driving data that is collected after the request of the start of the service, and

a third unit configured to output variations in a driving state before and after the start of the service.

12. A service providing apparatus that executes a service providing method that is associated with a service of informing a driver currently driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, according to a start request of the service, the apparatus comprising:

a first unit configured to sequentially update the point where hard braking is apt to happen,

a second unit configured to inform about the point to the driver driving at a position corresponding to the point updated sequentially, and

a third unit configured to perform comparison among driving data that are collected at different points of time after start of the service; and

a fourth unit configured to output variations in a driving state influenced by changes in the point updated by the first unit.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a presentation program of presenting an effectiveness of introducing a service of informing a driver during driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, the program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

comparing driving data when the service is provided and driving data when the service is not provided; and

outputting a comparison result.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a service providing program that causes a computer to execute a process that is associated with a service of informing a driver currently driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, according to a start request, the process comprising:

identifying driving data that is collected before start of the service in response to a request of the start of the service;

comparing the driving data identified by in the identifying and driving data that is collected after the request of the start of the service; and

outputting variations in a driving state before and after the start of the service.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a service providing program that causes a computer to execute a process that is associated with a service of informing a driver currently driving of information related to a point where hard braking is apt to happen, according to a start request of the service, the process comprising:

updating sequentially the point where hard braking is apt to happen;

informing about the point to the driver driving at a position corresponding to the point updated sequentially; and

performing comparison among driving data that are collected at different points of time after start of the service; and

outputting variations in a driving state influenced by changes in the point in the updating.
