[0003] For example, in Patent Document 1 below, by using a security application installed on a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, it is possible to remotely set / release the security device from the mobile terminal, and to obtain the mode switching result by the security device and display it on the mobile terminal. It is disclosed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, the mobile terminal is not always in the possession of the user, and may be placed on a desk or the like in an environment where a third party is present. In the prior art such as Patent Document 1 above, when notifying a plurality of users' mobile terminals of the security status of the property (such as the security mode being the release mode) and the current status of the user in the property (such as being out / returning home, resting in the bedroom, etc.), if the switched security mode etc. is also notified and displayed, it will be seen by a third party and the security situation will be revealed.

[0006] On the other hand, if notification information is displayed in a concealed manner, users must launch a dedicated application or take other steps to view detailed information, making it impossible to immediately check or understand the content of the notification.

[0007] In view of the above circumstances, the object of the present invention is to provide a security system, a mobile terminal, and a program that can ensure the security of the notification content while preventing a decrease in user convenience when notifying the user about the status of the monitored object. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To achieve the above objective, an information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a non-wearable portable terminal carried by a user, a wearable terminal carried by the user, and an information processing device that can communicate with at least the portable terminal and monitors the state of a monitored object. The information processing device transmits notification information regarding the state of the monitored object. The portable terminal displays a message corresponding to the notification information, excluding sensitive information contained in the received notification information that is restricted from being exposed to third parties. The wearable terminal displays a message corresponding to the notification information, including the restricted information contained in the received notification information.

[0009] This allows the information processing system to display messages excluding sensitive information on mobile devices where there is a risk of the screen being viewed by a third party, while displaying messages containing sensitive information on wearable devices where there is virtually no risk of the screen being viewed by a third party. This ensures the security of notifications to the user while preventing a decrease in user convenience. The notification information may be transmitted from the information processing device to the mobile device and then forwarded to the wearable device, or the information processing device may directly transmit information for each device to both the mobile device and the wearable device. The messages may also be displayed on the lock screen (the screen that appears when the power key is pressed when the screen is off).

[0010] The above-mentioned wearable terminal further includes a detection means for detecting the wearing status of the wearable terminal, and when the detection means detects that the wearable terminal is in a pairing state, the above-mentioned message including the sensitive information may be displayed.

[0011] This prevents sensitive information from being displayed when the wearable device is not being worn by the user, thus preventing third parties from seeing its contents.

[0012] The above pairing state may also refer to a state in which the wearable device is worn by the user and the user has performed the prescribed authentication, and the user continues to wear the device. In this case, the wearable device may be able to display the above message, including the sensitive information, while in the above pairing state.

[0013] This prevents sensitive information from being displayed to a third party while they are wearing the wearable device, thus preventing them from seeing the content. The prescribed authentication methods include, for example, entering a prescribed passcode or password, performing a prescribed gesture, face recognition by facing the screen, fingerprint authentication by tapping a fingerprint sensor, and pulse detection by a pulse sensor.

[0014] The mobile terminal may display summary information that abstracts the sensitive information as a message excluding the sensitive information, while the wearable terminal may display detailed information that shows the specific content of the sensitive information as a message including the sensitive information.

[0015] This allows users to understand the gist of a notification while maintaining security through message display on their mobile device, and to safely understand the specific content of the notification through message display on their wearable device.

[0016] The above-mentioned information processing device may be a monitoring device that monitors the subject or monitors for intrusion into the monitored area where the subject is located. In this case, the sensitive information may be information relating to the subject's privacy or information relating to the security of the monitored area.

[0017] This prevents sensitive security information, such as whether security has been deactivated or whether the person in question has left the premises, from being seen by a third party. Here, the person in question may be a user of a mobile device or wearable device, or a parent or other person being monitored who is not the user.

[0018] The monitoring device may perform intrusion monitoring of the monitored area based on multiple security modes. In this case, the sensitive information may be information relating to the security mode after the switch, and the mobile terminal may indicate that the security mode has been switched without indicating the security mode after the switch as a message excluding the sensitive information, while the wearable terminal may indicate the security mode after the switch as a message including the sensitive information.

[0019] This allows users to be informed that the security mode has been switched via messages on their mobile device, without sensitive information such as the deactivation of security mode being seen by third parties, and also allows users to safely be aware of the switched security mode via messages on their wearable device.

[0020] The above mobile device may display the above message, including the above sensitive information, if the above notification information is of high urgency.

[0021] This allows for prioritizing emergency response over the security of notification content by sending the same message to both mobile devices and wearable devices during emergencies.

[0022] When the notification information is highly urgent information and the wearable terminal and the mobile terminal are not in a paired state, the mobile terminal may display the message including the confidential information.

[0023] Thereby, when the wearable terminal and the mobile terminal are not paired in an emergency, the user may not be able to view the notification to the wearable terminal. Therefore, by displaying the same notification on the mobile terminal, the convenience of the user can be improved.

[0024] A program according to another aspect of the present invention causes a mobile terminal possessed by a user to receive notification information regarding the state of a monitoring target from an information processing device that monitors the state of the monitoring target, display a message corresponding to the notification information excluding confidential information whose disclosure to a third party is restricted and included in the notification information, and transmit the notification information including the confidential information to a wearable terminal worn by the user and cause the wearable terminal to display a message corresponding to the notification information.

Advantages of the Invention

[0025] As described above, according to the present invention, when notifying a user of the state of a monitoring target, it is possible to prevent a decrease in user convenience while ensuring the security of the notification content. However, this effect does not limit the present invention.

[Figure 2] It is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of a security device according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] It is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of a smartphone according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4]This is a sequence diagram showing the flow of notification processing by a security system according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] This figure shows examples of notification screens for smartphones and wearable devices in a security system according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0028] [System Configuration] Figure 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a security system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] As shown in the figure, this security system includes a security device 100, a smartphone 200, a wearable terminal 300, and a central server 400 of the security center.

[0030] The security device 100 is installed in a monitoring area (security target) such as a residence or business premises, and monitors for abnormalities in the monitoring area, reporting any detected abnormalities to the security center. As will be described in detail later, the security device 100 provides security for the monitoring area using multiple security modes (for example, away mode, home mode, partial set mode, home mode, etc.).

[0031] Smartphone 200 is a mobile device owned by a resident of a residence in the above-mentioned monitored area, and is capable of connecting to mobile networks such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 3G, and Wi-Fi. If multiple users reside or occupy a building under security, there may be multiple Smartphone 200s for each person under security. Smartphone 200 can be any non-attached mobile device that is carried by the user and is not worn by the user, such as a mobile terminal, personal computer, or tablet device.

[0032] The smartphone 200 can switch between security modes by communicating with the security device 100. As shown in the figure, the smartphone 200 may be located inside a house within the monitoring area, or it may be located outside the monitoring area, for example, inside an office where the user works.

[0033] When the smartphone 200 is located within the monitoring area, it can communicate with the security device 100 not only via the mobile network mentioned above, but also via short-range wireless communication such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) or Wi-Fi. The operation to switch between security modes is entered on an application (hereinafter referred to as the "security application") installed on the smartphone 200 that provides security mode information and other security information.

[0034] The wearable device 300 is a device that can be attached to a part of the user's body, such as a smartwatch, wristband, smart ring (with projection function), or smart glasses. The wearable device 300 can be any wearable device that is worn and carried by the user, and is not limited to the examples above. The wearable device 300 is mainly used by the user to input the operation of switching the security mode described above or to view notification information related to the security mode.

[0035] The smartphone 200 is paired with the wearable terminal 300 and, after making various conditional judgments, sends notifications to the wearable terminal 300 and performs screen control (such as displaying a screen where the security mode can be switched).

[0036] The wearable device 300 is paired with the above-mentioned wearable device 300, and when it is detected that the user is putting it on or taking it off, it enters a locked state (operation not accepted). The user can operate the wearable device 300 by performing a predetermined unlock operation. Predetermined unlock operations include, for example, entering a predetermined passcode or password, screen operations such as swiping, inputting a predetermined gesture, face recognition operations such as facing the screen, fingerprint recognition operations such as tapping the fingerprint sensor, or unlock operations on the paired smartphone 200.

[0037] Furthermore, when the wearable terminal 300 is worn by the user, once the lock state described above is released, the user's authentication is considered to have been completed, and operations can be performed without the need for further unlocking, as long as the wearable terminal 300 continues to be worn. The wearing state can be determined, for example, by whether or not a pulse is detected by the pulse sensor installed in the wearable terminal 300. Pairing refers to any of the following states: when the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 are wirelessly connected, when they are wirelessly connected and worn, or when they are wirelessly connected and worn, and a predetermined unlocking operation has been performed (user authentication has been completed).

[0038] Therefore, when a screen allowing the user to input a security mode switching operation (hereinafter also referred to simply as the switching screen) is displayed on the wearable terminal 300 by the smartphone 200, the user can perform the security mode switching operation in a verified (security guaranteed) state without having to unlock the wearable terminal 300 again. Furthermore, even if the smartphone 200 is locked, the switching operation can be performed using the wearable terminal 300 without having to unlock the smartphone.

[0039] The center server 400 is a server installed in a security center operated by a security company, and can communicate with the security device 100 and smartphone 200 via the internet. A control officer is stationed at the security center, and when an abnormality report is received from the security device 100, necessary measures such as dispatching security guards to the area protected by the security device 100 are taken.

[0040] The central server 400 also stores information such as the location of buildings in the monitoring area and information about users of security contracts who reside or occupy those buildings. For example, the central server 400 pairs each user's smartphone 200 with the security device 100 and stores information grouped by monitoring area for authentication purposes. The central server 400 also stores information about the authentication cards, which have been paired and grouped in the same way as the smartphones 200.

[0041] The switching of the security mode described above is performed in the following sequence as shown in (1) to (8) in the same diagram. Specifically, (1) when the smartphone 200 requests a security mode switch from the center server 400 via the mobile network based on the security mode switching operation performed by the wearable terminal 300, (2) the center server 400 authenticates the smartphone 200 (and the group to which it belongs), and if the authentication is successful, forwards the security mode switch request to the security device 100, thereby (3) requesting a security mode switch from the security device 100. Then, (4) the security device 100 receives the security mode switch request and switches the security mode, and (5) notifies the center server 400 that the security mode switch has been completed.

[0042] (6) The central server 400 receives the notification and requests an API for push notifications on the internet (for example, Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)) to send a push notification that the mode switch is complete. (7) Upon receiving the request, the API sends a push notification to the smartphone 200 that the mode switch is complete, and (8) the smartphone 200 receives the push notification and displays the mode switch completion on the wearable device 300.

[0043] As described above, in the security mode switching process, the center server 400 only mediates (and authenticates) the communication between the security device 100 and the smartphone 200. Therefore, in this embodiment, even though the communication is actually mediated by the center server 400, the mediation process may be omitted and the communication may be described as communication between the security device 100 and the smartphone 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the user terminal 200 displays push notification information received from the security device 100 (center server 400) on the smartphone 200 and also displays it on the wearable terminal 300, the smartphone 200 displays an overview (unconfidential display) of the notification information excluding sensitive information related to the security of the monitored area (overview information showing an abstraction of sensitive information), and the wearable terminal 300 displays detailed information including the sensitive information (detailed information showing the specific content of the sensitive information). Details of this display process will be described later. Sensitive information related to the security of the monitored area refers to some information related to the security of the monitored area, such as information on the security mode after switching which shows the current security information of the monitored area, and information on the operator who set the security mode switch for the monitored area.

[0045] [Security system configuration] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the security device 100. As shown in the figure, the security device 100 consists of a main unit 101 and various sensors 10 and 12, etc.

[0046] The intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is a sensor for detecting intruders, including sensors that detect the opening and closing of doors and windows, sensors that detect heat emitted by the human body as a heat source, and sensors that detect when infrared rays are blocked by the human body. These intrusion monitoring sensors are broadly divided into those installed in the outer perimeter area of ​​the building, which is the monitoring area, and those installed in other areas. Furthermore, the intrusion monitoring sensors installed in the outer perimeter area of ​​the building are distinguished into those installed in entrance and exit areas and those installed elsewhere. The fire sensor 12 is a sensor that detects heat and smoke associated with a fire.

[0047] The main unit 101 consists of a control unit 110, a notification unit 130, a notification unit 140, a display unit 150, an operation unit 160, and a communication interface (I / F) 170.

[0048] The notification unit 130 notifies the security center via a communication line when an abnormality occurs. The alert unit 140 generates various alert sounds. The display unit 150 consists of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), liquid crystal displays, etc., and displays various information on and outside the main unit, respectively.

[0049] The communication interface 170 is an interface for communicating with various sensors via wired or wireless means. It also functions as an interface for wireless communication with the smartphone 200, which acts as a remote control unit for switching security modes.

[0050] The control unit 160 is composed of, for example, control buttons or a touch panel, and accepts user operations such as switching the security mode. If the control unit 160 is a touch panel, it can be integrated with the display unit 150.

[0051] The control unit 160 also includes buttons for purposes other than switching security modes, such as an emergency call button to be operated when the user is attacked by an intruder or feels a physical abnormality, and a cancel operation button to cancel an abnormality if the user has accidentally triggered one.

[0052] The control unit 110 is composed of a processor, memory, etc., and controls the operation of the security device. Functionally, it implements a mode storage means 112, a monitoring and control information storage means 114, an intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116, a mode control means 118, etc. The mode storage means 112 stores each security mode along with their identification information, and stores information related to the currently set security mode, for example, by mode identification information. The monitoring and control information storage means 114 stores the installation area, address code, etc., of various sensors and stores the correspondence between security modes and various sensors to be monitored. When an intrusion monitoring sensor detects an intrusion, the intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116 performs processes such as determining an abnormality and outputting an abnormality signal, or determining and outputting an alarm sound, based on the current security mode stored in the mode storage means 112 and the contents stored in the monitoring and control information storage means 114. The mode control means 118 performs the above security mode setting (switching) process based on mode switching operations from the user via the operation unit 160 and the smartphone 200. When the mode control means 118 changes the security mode, it stores the destination security mode as the current security mode in the mode storage means 112.

[0053] Although not shown in the diagram, the main unit 101 also stores group setting information related to multiple smartphones 200 paired with the security device 100 and grouped together, as well as the authentication cards mentioned above, and the identification information (username, user ID, etc.) of each of these users.

[0054] [Type of security mode] Here, the types of security modes available to the security device 100 will be described. In this embodiment, the security device 100 has the following security modes: away security mode (unattended monitoring mode), home security mode (attended monitoring mode), partial setting mode, and de-security (at home) mode.

[0055] Monitoring and emergency notifications by the fire sensor 12 are performed regardless of the security mode. Any abnormalities caused by these sensors are announced by a separate alarm sound. On the other hand, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 differs depending on the security mode.

[0056] The "away security mode" is set when all users of the building being secured leave the building and it becomes unoccupied (goes out). In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed by all intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the building being secured.

[0057] The home security mode is used when a user is present (inhabited) within the security area and it is desired to monitor for external intrusions, and is particularly used while sleeping. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the outer areas of the building, such as windows, front doors, and gardens, out of all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10.

[0058] The partial set mode is used when you want to partially monitor an area, such as when a user is only on the first floor of a building that is a monitoring area, and you want to monitor the second floor. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 located in the area being monitored. This partial set mode may exist as one form of the home monitoring mode.

[0059] The de-alert mode is used when the user is at home and leaves windows open. In this mode, the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 does not perform monitoring.

[0060] [Smartphone configuration] Figure 3 shows the configuration of the smartphone 200 described above. As shown in the figure, the smartphone 200 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, ROM (Read Only Memory) 22, RAM (Random Access Memory) 23, an input / output interface 25, and a bus 24 that connects these components to each other.

[0061] The CPU 21 accesses RAM 23 and other memory as needed, performing various calculations and comprehensively controlling all blocks of the smartphone 200. ROM 22 is a non-volatile memory that permanently stores the OS, programs, and firmware such as various parameters to be executed by the CPU 21. RAM 23 is used as a working area for the CPU 21 and temporarily holds the OS, various running applications, and various data being processed.

[0062] The input / output interface 25 is connected to a display unit 26, an operation reception unit 27, a storage unit 28, a communication unit 29, and the like.

[0063] The display unit 26 is a display device that uses, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an OLED (Organic ElectroLuminescence Display), or a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube).

[0064] The operation reception unit 27 is, for example, a touch panel, buttons, keys, or other input device. If the operation reception unit 27 is a touch panel, the touch panel may be integrated with the display unit 26.

[0065] The storage unit 28 is, for example, a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory (SSD; Solid State Drive), other solid memory, or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS, various applications, and various data are stored in this storage unit 28.

[0066] In particular, in this embodiment, the storage unit 28 stores the security application and other programs that enable the smartphone 200 to perform security mode switching processing in conjunction with the wearable terminal 300 and the security device 100. The security application also stores information about the security mode currently set on the security device 100, data (text information and image information) necessary for displaying the security mode switching screen (push notification screen) and other screens that display information about the operation on which the security mode has been switched, which are displayed on the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300, setting information for determining whether the switching operation is possible depending on the location of the smartphone 200, and location information of the house (for example, latitude and longitude information indicating the center position of the house) for determining whether the smartphone 200 is inside or outside the monitoring area.

[0067] The communication unit 29 consists of various modules for wireless communication, such as LTE, BLE, and Wi-Fi, and is responsible for communication processing between the security device 100 and the center server 400 via mobile networks, short-range wireless communication networks, and the internet. Furthermore, the wireless communication modules within the communication unit 29, such as BLE and Wi-Fi, are responsible for communication between the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300.

[0068] Furthermore, the communication unit 29 also functions as a location acquisition means for acquiring the location information of the smartphone 200. For acquiring location information, positioning methods such as GPS (Global Positioning System) or base stations for mobile phones are used. Alternatively, for example, by using the above-mentioned short-range wireless communication or low-power wireless communication with the security device 100 within the monitoring area (inside the house), it may be determined that the smartphone 200 is within the monitoring area if it is within the communication range of the security device 100, and outside the monitoring area if it is outside the communication range. In addition, multiple positioning means such as GPS and short-range wireless communication may be combined as needed to detect the location of the smartphone 200 more accurately.

[0069] Although not shown in the diagram, the basic hardware configuration of the wearable device 300 is the same as that of the smartphone 200.

[0070] The current security mode status in the monitored area is notified from the security device 100 to the security application on the smartphone 200 each time the security mode is switched by the security device 100, and the security application stores this status as the latest security mode status. Alternatively, the security mode status may be stored in the central server 400, and the security application may retrieve it from the central server 400 when it detects the user leaving or returning home. Furthermore, the security mode information may be linked to and stored information about the operator who switched the security mode.

[0071] [Security system operation] Next, the operation of the security system configured as described above will be explained. This operation is performed through the cooperation of the hardware of the smartphone 200, such as the CPU 21 and the communication unit 29, and the software (security application) stored in the memory unit 28. For convenience, in the following explanation, the security application of the smartphone 200 or the CPU 21 will be referred to as the operating entity.

[0072] Figure 4 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of notification processing to the smartphone 200 and wearable terminal 300 when the security system switches security modes. Figure 5 shows examples of the notification screen of the smartphone 200 (Figure (A)) and the notification screen of the wearable terminal 300 (Figure (B)).

[0073] As shown in Figure 4, when the CPU of the wearable terminal 300 receives input from the user to switch security modes (step 41), it sends a security mode switching request to the smartphone 200 (step 42). This security mode switching request includes mode identification information that identifies the security mode after the switch.

[0074] As a prerequisite for inputting the switching operation, the wearable terminal 300 enters a locked state when its attachment to the user is detected by the sensor or the like, as described above. The user can then operate the wearable terminal 300 by performing a predetermined unlocking operation. Subsequently, as long as the attachment state continues, the user's authentication is considered to have been completed, and further unlocking operations are unnecessary, allowing for continued operation. In other words, the security mode switching request is transmitted when the attachment of the wearable terminal 300 to the user is detected and a predetermined authentication process is performed.

[0075] Next, when the CPU 21 of the smartphone 200 receives the security mode switching request, it transmits it to the security device 100 (step 43). If the security mode switching operation is performed by the smartphone 200, the smartphone 200 transmits the security mode switching request to the security device 100 without going through the wearable terminal 300.

[0076] Next, when the security device 100 receives the security mode switching request, it switches the current security mode to the security mode corresponding to the mode identification information included in the request (step 44). If a security mode switching operation is performed by the security device 100, the current security mode is switched to the security mode corresponding to that switching operation.

[0077] Next, the security device 100 generates a security mode switching completion notification (push notification) indicating that the switching of the security mode has been completed and sends it to the smartphone 200 (step 45).

[0078] Next, when the CPU 21 of the smartphone 200 receives the notification that the security mode switchover is complete, it determines whether or not the smartphone 200 is already paired with the wearable terminal 300 (step 46).

[0079] If the CPU determines that pairing has been completed (Yes in step 46), the CPU 21 sends the security mode switching completion notification as a push notification to the wearable terminal 300 (step 46). In other words, the CPU 21 sends and displays the security mode switching completion notification to the wearable terminal 300, provided that the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 are paired.

[0080] Upon receiving the notification that the security mode has been switched, the wearable terminal 300 displays a push notification screen 31 (the first push notification screen) indicating the notification on the lock screen 30 of the display unit (a screen that is displayed when the power key is pressed or the terminal is tilted to a predetermined position when the screen is off, such as in sleep mode) (non-confidential display). As shown in Figure 5(A), the content of the push notification screen 31 is, for example, "Taro has set the unlock mode," and includes sensitive information such as the name of the security mode after the switch and the name of the user who performed the switching operation (sensitive information is not concealed). The operator's name does not have to be displayed.

[0081] As mentioned above, the display of the push notification screen 31 on the wearable device 300 is based on the premise that the wearable device 300 is being worn by an authenticated user. If the removal of the wearable device 300 is detected, the push notification screen 31 will not be displayed. This prevents sensitive information from being displayed when the wearable device 300 is not being worn by the user, thus preventing its contents from being seen by a third party.

[0082] Furthermore, even if the wearing of the wearable device 300 is detected, the push notification screen 31 will not be displayed if user authentication is not successful (including when the device is being worn by a user other than the intended user). This prevents sensitive information from being displayed and viewed by a third party while they are wearing the wearable device 300.

[0083] Before sending a notification that the security mode has been switched to the wearable terminal 300, the CPU 21 may again inquire with the wearable terminal 300 to confirm whether it has been detected as being worn and whether user authentication has been completed.

[0084] On the other hand, if it is determined that the devices are not paired (No in step 46), the CPU 21 does not send a security mode switch completion notification to the wearable terminal 300, and instead displays a push notification screen 51 (second push notification screen) on the lock screen 50 of the display unit 26 that does not contain the sensitive information indicated in the security mode switch completion notification (concealed display) (step 49). As shown in Figure 5(B), the content of the push notification screen 51 simply notifies the fact that the security mode has been switched, such as "The security mode has been changed," and excludes (conceals) sensitive information such as the name of the security mode after the switch and the name of the user who performed the switching operation. Furthermore, even if it is determined that the devices are paired (Yes in step 46), the smartphone 200 sends a security mode switch completion notification to the wearable terminal 300 and then displays another push notification screen 51 that does not contain sensitive information on the lock screen 50 of the display unit 26 (step 49).

[0085] This prevents sensitive security information, such as whether security has been deactivated or whether the target person has left the premises, from being seen by a third party. Furthermore, the CPU 21 does not necessarily hide all security mode switching completion notifications; it hides them only if the switched security mode is a specific security mode (for example, deactivation mode, or any mode where some or all security is deactivated), and does not need to hide them if the security mode is any other.

[0086] The smartphone 200 stores the message content of both a push notification screen containing sensitive information, as shown in Figure 5(A), and a push notification screen that does not contain sensitive information (only notifying of the fact of mode switching), as shown in Figure 5(B), for each security mode after switching (mode identification information), for each mode, and displays a message on the push notification screen corresponding to the mode identification information included in the security mode switching request.

[0087] The figure shows an example of a push notification in the case of a security mode switching operation. However, in addition to this, for example, if a user performs an operation to change the security set time and receives a notification from the security device 100 that the security set time change has been completed, the smartphone 200 will display a confidential push notification on the display unit 26 that simply states the fact that the security time has been changed, such as "The security time has been changed." On the other hand, the wearable terminal 300 will display sensitive information such as the changed security set time and the name of the user who performed the change operation as a push notification, for example, "The set time has been changed to 11:00" or "Taro changed the set time to 11:00," without concealing it.

[0088] Furthermore, if the security device 100 detects an abnormality in the monitored area, the security device 100 may send an abnormality notification to the smartphone 200. Upon receiving the abnormality notification, the smartphone 200 displays a confidential push notification on the display unit 26, simply stating "A problem has occurred," indicating only the fact that an abnormality has occurred. On the other hand, the wearable terminal 300 displays sensitive information such as the type and location (equipment) of the abnormality as a push notification, for example, "A fire, equipment malfunction, or intrusion has occurred."

[0089] Furthermore, the security device 100 may notify other users' smartphones 200 of the return / departure of family members or cohabitants based on changes in the location information of the smartphone 200 (movement inside or outside the monitoring area). Upon receiving such a return / departure notification, the smartphone 200 displays a confidential push notification on the display unit 26, simply stating "There has been movement from a family member," indicating only the fact that there has been movement from a family member. On the other hand, the wearable terminal 300 displays sensitive information such as the name of the family member who has left / returned, and whether it is a leave or return, without concealment, as a push notification, for example, "Taro has left (returned home)."

[0090] Furthermore, if the CPU 21 determines that the signal received from the security device 100 is a signal other than a security mode switching completion notification, it will display the notification content on the smartphone 200 without concealing it. Notification information other than the security mode switching completion notification transmitted from the security device 100 is information that does not constitute user personal information or security information for the security area, such as announcements (surveys, crime prevention information for the surrounding area, news, etc.).

[0091] In other words, the smartphone 200 displays a notification indicating the type of sensitive information received, but does not disclose the content of the sensitive information, while the wearable terminal 300 displays a notification indicating the content of the sensitive information received.

[0092] [summary] As described above, according to this embodiment, the security system displays a push notification screen excluding sensitive information related to the security of the monitored area on a smartphone 200 that may be seen by a third party, while displaying a push notification screen including sensitive information on a wearable terminal 300 that is unlikely to be seen by a third party. This ensures the security of the notification content to the user while preventing a decrease in user convenience.

[0093] [Differentiation] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0094] In the above-described embodiment, a security system in which the security device 100 is applied as the information processing device was shown. However, the information processing device is not limited to a security device, and may be, for example, a monitoring device in a monitoring system that monitors the status of users in a property. In this case, when the monitoring device detects the daily activities of the person being monitored (e.g., an elderly person), it notifies the smartphone 200 of the monitoring person's child, parent, or other caregiver of the detected activity. Upon receiving this activity notification, the smartphone 200 displays a confidential push notification on the display unit 26, for example, "There has been movement from the person being monitored," simply notifying only the fact that there has been movement from the person being monitored. On the other hand, the wearable terminal 300 displays sensitive information such as the name (relationship) and details of the activity of the person being monitored who performed the activity, without concealment, as a push notification, for example, "Your mother woke up, went to bed, and was active in the living room / garden." In this way, information related to the privacy of the person being monitored is treated as sensitive information.

[0095] The information processing device may also be a control device in a control system that controls the equipment and electrical appliances of a residence. In this case, the control device notifies the resident's smartphone 200 when equipment or electronic devices are operated or when some kind of trouble is detected. Upon receiving this notification, the smartphone 200 displays a confidential push notification on the display unit 26, for example, "Equipment has been operated," simply notifying the fact that the equipment has been operated. On the other hand, the wearable terminal 300 displays the name of the operated equipment or electrical appliance without concealment as a push notification, for example, "The electric lock has been unlocked" or "The air conditioner has been operated."

[0096] In addition, the information processing device may be a home server that provides notifications regarding various IoT (Internet of Things) devices in a smart home, or a HEMS (Home Energy Management System) that provides notifications regarding usage status in a HEMS that visualizes and controls the usage status of electricity, water, gas, etc., and when providing such notifications, the smartphone 200 may perform a confidential display and the wearable terminal 300 may perform a non-confidential display.

[0097] In the embodiments described above, an example was shown in which information about anomalies is also concealed. However, in cases where the notification information is highly urgent, such as information about an anomaly or a notification that the person being monitored has fallen (fallen and is not moving), it is necessary to notify the user as quickly as possible. Therefore, as an exception, the information may be displayed without concealment on the smartphone 200 as well.

[0098] Furthermore, if the notification information is of high urgency and the wearable terminal 300 and the smartphone 200 are not paired, the smartphone 200 may also display the information without concealing it.

[0099] In the above-described embodiment, an example was shown in which the content of the message to be displayed on the push notification screen during the concealed display processing and the non-concealed display processing is stored in a table. Alternatively, the security mode switching completion notification sent from the central server 400 or the security device 100 may include message information relating to the content of the notification message to be displayed on the lock screen of the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300.

[0100] In the above-described embodiment, notification information was transmitted from the security device 100 to the smartphone 200, and then forwarded from the smartphone 200 to the wearable terminal 300. However, notification information for each terminal may also be transmitted directly from the security device 100 to the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300. For example, if the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 are far apart and cannot communicate with each other, the wearable terminal may have an application that allows it to communicate with the central server 400 independently without going through the smartphone, or to perform screen control, etc. In this case, the security device 100 includes a message for concealment display in the security mode switching completion notification sent to the smartphone 200, and includes a message for non-concealment display in the security mode switching completion notification sent to the wearable terminal 300.

[0101] In the above-described embodiment, when changing the manner in which notification information is displayed on the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300, the criterion was whether or not the notification information included sensitive information. This sensitive information includes information whose exposure to third parties is restricted for reasons such as security or the possibility of some inconvenience occurring if it is seen by a third party. In this case, information that is considered sensitive information for one user may not be considered sensitive information for another user. Each user may be able to individually set this restriction information on the security device 100, the smartphone 200, or the central server 400.

[0102] In the above-described embodiment, the security device 100 performed intrusion monitoring in the monitoring area. However, at least some of the functions of the security device 100 may be performed by a central server 400 (such as a cloud). In one example, the central server 400 may have a mode storage means 112, a monitoring and control information storage means 114, and a mode control means 118, and may perform security mode setting processing within the security target based on mode switching operations performed by the smartphone 200 or the security device 100, and may also perform intrusion monitoring etc. based on detection results from various sensors 10 or 12, etc. [Explanation of Symbols]
