Abstract
A controller obtains sensor information from sensors mounted on a vehicle running on a road, and an information offer selector allows the driver of the vehicle to select on a screen whether to provide the sensor information to a center apparatus. If the driver allows provision of the sensor information, then the sensor information is transmitted to the center apparatus via radio communications. Thus, only the sensor information that is allowed by the driver is provided to the other vehicles.
Claims26
An on-board sensor information providing program that allows a computer to function as:
- an acquisition unit that acquires sensor information used for vehicle running support from a sensor mounted on-board a vehicle;
- a selection unit that allows a driver of the vehicle to select whether to provide the sensor information to an external system;
- and
- an offer unit that provides the sensor information, the provision of which has been permitted by the driver, to the external system.
An on-board sensor information providing apparatus, comprising:
- an acquisition unit that acquires sensor information used for vehicle running support from a sensor mounted on-board a vehicle;
- a selection unit that allows a driver of the vehicle to select whether to provide the sensor information to an external system;
- and
- an offer unit that provides the sensor information, the provision of which has been permitted, to the external system.
An on-board sensor information providing method, comprising:
- acquiring sensor information used for vehicle running support from a sensor mounted on-board a vehicle;
- allowing a driver of the vehicle to select whether to provide the sensor information to an external system;
- and
- providing the sensor information, the provision of which has been permitted, to the external system.
An on-board sensor information using program that allows a computer to function as:
- a reception unit that receives sensor information from an on-board sensor information providing apparatus, the on-board sensor information providing apparatus having
- an acquisition unit that acquires the sensor information used for vehicle running support from a sensor mounted on-board a vehicle;
- a selection unit that allows a driver of the vehicle to select whether to provide the sensor information to an external system;
- and
- an offer unit that provides the sensor information, the provision of which has been permitted by the driver, to the external system;
- a reliability calculation unit that calculates a reliability of the sensor information based on the sensor information provided to the external system and reference information;
- and
- a use unit that uses the sensor information for supporting running of the vehicle on a road.
