[0032] Reference Figure 1 The configuration of the information processing system according to an embodiment is described. Figure 1 The information processing system 1 shown includes an information processing device 11 and a terminal device 12. The vehicle 10 includes the information processing system 1 and a sensor 13. The information processing device 11 and the server 20 are communicatively connected to each other via a network 30 including the Internet.

[0033] Server 20 is used for online meetings. Server 20 can be a cloud server or a field server.

[0034] The information processing device 11 is an in-vehicle device installed on the vehicle 10. The information processing device 11 wirelessly communicates with the server 20 via the network 30, receives video and audio from the server 20 during online meetings, and transmits the received video and audio to the terminal device 12. The information processing device 11 includes an input unit 111, a control unit 112, a storage unit 113, and a communication unit 114.

Furthermore, at least one processor, at least one programmable circuit, at least one dedicated circuit, or any combination thereof of the control unit 112 is configured to perform the functions of the control unit 112.

[0037] Control unit 112 determines whether participation in the online meeting is permitted. Hereinafter, the person to be identified is referred to as the "target person." There may be more than one target person. Control unit 112 determines the target person's role in the online meeting based on meeting information obtained from server 20, and determines whether to allow the target person to participate in the online meeting in vehicle 10 based on that role. The processing details of control unit 112 will be further described below.

[0039] Communication unit 114 includes a communication interface for communicating with server 20 and a communication interface for communicating with terminal device 12. Communication unit 114 receives information about the online meeting (hereinafter referred to as "meeting information") from server 20. Meeting information includes the date and time of the meeting, identification information (e.g., the names of the participants in the meeting), and information indicating the roles of the participants in the online meeting. Information indicating roles in the online meeting includes information indicating whether each participant is an organizer, a required participant, or an optional participant. Additionally, when control unit 112 allows a target person to participate in the online meeting from within the vehicle, communication unit 114 receives video and audio from server 20 during the online meeting.

[0040] Terminal device 12 outputs video and audio received from information processing device 11. Terminal device 12 may be part of a navigation device installed on vehicle 10. Terminal device 12 may also be located in the passenger seat and / or rear seat of vehicle 10. Terminal device 12 may be a device installed on vehicle 10, or a mobile terminal such as a smartphone. Figure 2 Examples of terminal devices 12 (12-1, 12-2, 12-3) installed on vehicle 10 are shown. When the target person is allowed to participate in an online meeting, the target person uses terminal device 12-1 when sitting in the driver's seat or passenger seat, and uses terminal device 12-2 or 12-3 when sitting in the back seat.

[0041] Terminal device 12 can be pre-installed on vehicle 10. Multiple terminal devices 12 can be installed on vehicle 10. Terminal device 12 includes communication unit 121 and output unit 122.

[0042] The communication unit 121 includes a communication interface for communicating with the information processing device 11. The communication unit 121 receives video and audio from the information processing device 11 during online meetings.

[0043] The output unit 122 includes a display that outputs video acquired from the information processing device 11 and a speaker that outputs audio acquired from the information processing device 11.

[0045] Operation of information processing device

[0046] Next, we will refer to Figure 3The first operation of the information processing apparatus 11 according to the embodiment is described below. Hereinafter, the information processing apparatus 11 communicates with the server 20 via the communication unit 114 and the network 30, and communicates with the terminal device 12 via the communication unit 114.

[0047] In step S101, individuals wishing to participate in the online meeting from vehicle 10 input a unique account for each seat via input unit 111. This account includes personal identification information and seat identification information for each seat within vehicle 10. Information processing device 11 transmits this account to server 20. Server 20 authenticates the account and, upon successful authentication, transmits the meeting information to information processing device 11. Information processing device 11 retrieves the meeting information from server 20 and stores it in storage unit 113.

[0048] In step S102, the control unit 112 determines the target person's role in the online meeting based on the personal identification information and meeting information contained in the account. If the role is an organizer or a required participant, the process proceeds to step S103. If the role is neither an organizer nor a required participant, the process proceeds to step S106.

[0049] In step S103, control unit 112 determines whether the target person is the driver of vehicle 10 based on the seat identification information contained in the account (i.e., information indicating the position of each person in the vehicle). When the target person is the driver of vehicle 10, control unit 112 causes the process to proceed to step S104; when the target person is not the driver of vehicle 10, control unit 112 causes the process to proceed to step S106. The order in which the processes in step S102 and step S103 are performed is irrelevant.

[0050] In step S104, the control unit 112 determines whether vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway and whether it is in autonomous driving mode based on map information indicating the current location on the map and state information indicating the driving mode of vehicle 10. The term "autonomous driving" refers to a system (machine) that performs identification, determination, and driving operations on behalf of a human driver. The autonomous driving level, indicating the technical level of autonomous driving, is defined as six stages from 0 to 5. Here, we assume autonomous driving level 3. When vehicles with autonomous driving level 4 or higher are developed in the future, the conditions of step S104 can be appropriately changed; for example, the condition can be changed to "vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway and is in autonomous driving mode, or autonomous driving level 4 or higher." When vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway and is in autonomous driving mode, control unit 112 proceeds to step S106; when vehicle 10 is not traveling on a highway or is not in autonomous driving mode, control unit 112 proceeds to step S105.

[0051] In step S105, control unit 112 determines that participation in the online meeting is not permitted. Control unit 112 may cause terminal device 12 to display a message indicating that participation in the online meeting is not permitted. Control unit 112 may cause terminal device 12 to display the reason for the determination, the conditions under which participation in the online meeting is permitted, etc. When control unit 112 determines that participation in the online meeting is not permitted, control unit 112 terminates the process.

[0052] In step S106, the control unit 112 determines that participation in the online meeting is permitted. The communication unit 114 transmits the video and audio of the online meeting obtained from the server 20 to the terminal device 12. That is, safety is ensured even when the organizer or required participant is the driver, and the vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway in autonomous driving mode. Therefore, participation in the online meeting is permitted. As another example, participation may be denied when the organizer or required participant is the driver, but may be permitted when the organizer or required participant is seated in the passenger seat or back seat, and the vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway in autonomous driving mode.

[0053] In step S107, the control unit 112 allows the target person to participate in the online meeting and controls the activation of the advanced security equipment of the vehicle 10.

[0054] In step S108, control unit 112 notifies server 20 that the target person has joined. Server 20 then displays the target person's joining status on each terminal of the meeting participants. The order in which step S107 and step S108 are performed is irrelevant.

[0055] In step S109, control unit 112 determines whether it was determined to be "yes" in steps S102 to S104 (i.e., after determining permission to participate in an online meeting when vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway and in autonomous driving mode), whether vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway, and whether the autonomous driving mode has been cancelled. When vehicle 10 is not traveling on a highway (i.e., vehicle 10 has exited the highway) or the autonomous driving mode is cancelled, control unit 112 causes the process to proceed to step S110. When vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway and the autonomous driving mode continues, control unit 112 causes the process to proceed to step S111.

[0056] In step S110, the control unit 112 performs control to remove the target person from the online meeting. For example, the control unit 112 instructs the terminal device 12 to display a message on the output unit 122 ordering the target person to leave the online meeting or notifying the target person that their right to participate in the meeting has changed from allowed to disallowed. Then, the control unit 112 stops transmitting video and audio of the online meeting to the terminal device 12.

[0057] In step S111, the control unit 112 acquires a signal from the sensor 13 and determines whether a predetermined threshold or a greater impact is detected. When the predetermined threshold or a greater impact is detected, the control unit 112 causes the process to proceed to step S112, and when the predetermined threshold or a greater impact is not detected, the control unit 112 causes the process to proceed to step S113.

[0058] In step S112, the control unit 112 interrupts the online meeting of the target participant and notifies the server 20 that vehicle 10 has been subjected to a severe impact. The server 20 displays the severe impact on the terminals of each participant in the meeting. That is, when the control unit 112 determines that participation in the online meeting is permitted, and the sensor 13 detects an impact of a predetermined threshold or greater, the control unit 112 interrupts the online meeting and notifies the participants in the online meeting through the server 20 that vehicle 10 has been subjected to a severe impact due to the risk of collision.

[0059] In step S113, control unit 112 determines whether the online meeting has ended. If the online meeting has not ended, the process returns to step S109.

[0060] Next, we will refer to Figure 4 A second operation of the information processing apparatus 11 according to an embodiment is described. The second operation example differs from the first operation example described above in that step S105 is replaced by step S114. Since the other steps are the same as those in the first operation example, their description will be omitted.

[0061] In step S114, control unit 112 determines that only listening to the audio of the online meeting is permitted. Control unit 112 may cause terminal device 12 to display a message indicating that only listening to the audio of the online meeting is permitted. Control unit 112 may cause terminal device 12 to display the reason for the determination, the conditions for being able to participate in the online meeting, etc. When control unit 112 determines that only listening to the audio of the online meeting is permitted, control unit 112 causes the process to proceed to step S108.

[0062] As described above, the information processing apparatus 11 according to this embodiment determines the target person's role in the online meeting based on information about the online meeting, and determines whether to allow the target person to participate in the online meeting in the vehicle based on that role. Therefore, this disclosure can further improve the security of online meetings in vehicles.

[0063] Specifically, when the role is that of an organizer or required participant in an online meeting, the information processing device 11 determines that participation in the online meeting is not permitted or that only listening to the audio of the online meeting is allowed. This allows for restricting the organizer or required participant from attending the online meeting from inside the vehicle.

[0064] Furthermore, when the target person is not the driver, or when the target person is the driver but vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway and in autonomous driving mode, the information processing device 11 determines that participation in the online meeting is permitted. This allows the target person to participate in online meetings when the risk is low.

[0065] Additionally, when the information processing device 11 determines that participation in an online meeting is permitted, the information processing device 11 activates the advanced safety equipment of the vehicle 10. This can support safe driving by the driver and further enhance safety.

[0066] Furthermore, when vehicle 10 is traveling on a highway and in autonomous driving mode, after the information processing unit determines that participation in an online meeting is permitted, if vehicle 10 is no longer traveling on a highway or the autonomous driving mode is deactivated, the information processing unit 11 takes control to remove the target person from the online meeting. This allows for restrictions on participating in online meetings from inside the vehicle when circumstances change and pose a risk to the online meeting.

[0067] Furthermore, after the information processing device 11 determines that participation in the online meeting is permitted, if a predetermined threshold or greater impact is detected using sensor 13, the information processing device 11 interrupts the online meeting and notifies the participants that vehicle 10 has been subjected to a severe impact. This allows for the automatic interruption of the online meeting when a collision risk exists.

[0068] program

[0069] A computer capable of executing program instructions can be used to make the computer act as an information processing device 11. A program can make the computer act as an information processing device 11 by causing the computer to perform the above operations.

[0070] The program can be stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium. Examples of non-transitory computer-readable media include flash memory, magnetic recording devices, optical discs, magneto-optical recording media, or ROM. Distribution of the program is accomplished, for example, by selling, transferring, or renting portable media (e.g., secure digital (SD) cards, digital versatile optical discs (DVDs), or optical disc read-only memory (CD-ROMs)) on which the program is stored. The program can be distributed by storing it in the memory of a server and transferring it from the server to another computer. The program can be offered as a program product.

[0071] For example, a computer temporarily stores a program stored on a portable medium or transferred from a server in main storage. The computer then instructs its processor to read the program stored in main storage and execute the processing corresponding to the read program. The computer can directly read a program from a portable medium and execute the processing corresponding to that program. Each time a program is transferred from a server to the computer, the computer can execute the processing corresponding to the received program. This processing can be performed through a so-called Application Service Provider (ASP) service, which performs its function simply by providing execution instructions and obtaining results, without transferring the program from the server to the computer. A program includes information for processing by an electronic computer; this is equivalent to a program. For example, data that is not a direct command to the computer but has attributes defining the computer's processing corresponds to "data equivalent to a program."

[0072] Although embodiments have been described as representative examples, various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. For example, multiple configuration blocks or processing steps described in the embodiments may be combined into one configuration block or processing step, or one configuration block or processing step may be split into multiple configuration blocks or processing steps.
