Information processing device, information processing method, and non-transitory computer reading storage medium providing notification when user instruction for in-vehicle device indicates a predetermined level of risk

An information processing method to be executed by a computer, the information processing method comprising:

• acquiring a speech of a user to instruct a predetermined device to execute a predetermined function;
• acquiring a level of a risk expected to occur when the predetermined device executes the predetermined function;
• outputting a notification confirming with the user whether to permit the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function when the level of the risk is equal to or higher than a predetermined level;
• and
• causing the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function when the user permits the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function;
• wherein:
• the user is an occupant of a vehicle;
• and
• the predetermined device is an in-vehicle device mounted on the vehicle;
• and
• further comprising:
• acquiring first information including information on a traveling condition of the vehicle when the user makes the speech;
• acquiring second information including information on a traveling condition of the vehicle when the user permitted the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function in a past;
• and
• causing the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function without outputting the notification in a case where the traveling condition indicated by the first information for the vehicle when the user makes the speech agrees with the traveling condition indicated by the second information for the vehicle when the user permitted the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function in the past.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute an information processing method, the information processing method comprising:

• acquiring a speech of a user to instruct a predetermined device to execute a predetermined function;
• acquiring a level of a risk expected to occur when the predetermined device executes the predetermined function;
• outputting a notification confirming with the user whether to permit the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function when the level of the risk is equal to or higher than a predetermined level;
• and
• causing the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function when the user permits the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function;
• wherein:
• the user is an occupant of a vehicle;
• and
• the predetermined device is an in-vehicle device mounted on the vehicle;
• and
• the information processing method further comprises:
• acquiring first information including information on a traveling condition of the vehicle when the user makes the speech;
• acquiring second information including information on a traveling condition of the vehicle when the user permitted the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function in a past;
• and
• causing the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function without outputting the notification in a case where the traveling condition indicated by the first information for the vehicle when the user makes the speech agrees with the traveling condition indicated by the second information for the vehicle when the user permitted the predetermined device to execute the predetermined function in the past.
