Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to technology relating to communication control between glasses-type information devices worn near one or both eyes, such as smart glasses having communication functions and a function of providing images to the field of view, and other devices. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, glasses-type information devices, such as smart glasses and HMDs (head-mounted displays), have become popular as wearable devices. Some glasses-type information devices have communication functions as well as the ability to provide images to the human field of vision through the glasses, such as VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality). Glasses-type information devices can communicate with other wearable devices.

[0003] In addition, even commonly used smartphones have a function for linking with wearable devices. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that a mobile device is configured to directly push at least some information (e.g., contact information) to a wearable electronic device via a local wireless connection (e.g., Bluetooth (registered trademark), WiFi). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Special publication 2017-509172 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the future, glasses-type information devices are expected to connect to mobile networks (mobile communication networks, the Internet, etc.) and be used in place of smartphones, etc. In such cases, glasses-type information devices may also be expected to take over functions such as push notifications to other wearable devices that were previously performed by smartphones.

[0006] However, glasses-type information devices may be in different states from smartphones, such as when they are worn, when they are not worn and when they are folded, etc. In such cases, there has not been sufficient consideration in the past about how events received by glasses-type information devices (e.g., received emails, app notifications, etc.) should be provided to the user.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an appropriate notification method that is suited to the state (usage state, operation mode, etc.) of the glasses-type information device and that also includes other wearable devices. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention is a glasses-type information device having a control means for controlling display so that, when a notification is received from an application and the glasses-type information device is being worn by a user and in use, an image related to the notification is projected into the user's field of vision, and a transfer means for transferring the notification to another wearable terminal linked to the glasses-type information device when the notification is received from the application and the glasses-type information device is not being worn by a user and not in use, and is characterized in that, when the notification is transferred by the transfer means because the glasses-type information device is not being worn by a user and not in use when the notification is received from the application, control of the display by the control means is not executed. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, a method of appropriate notification, including to other wearable devices, is provided in accordance with the state of the glasses-type information device. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] Example 1 FIG. 1 shows an example of a system configuration diagram including a glasses-type information device and a wearable terminal linked thereto. The glasses-type information device is a device capable of communicating with a mobile network (mobile communication network) 130 and the Internet 140 directly or via a mobile router (not shown), and the present invention gives smart glasses 101 as an example thereof. As glasses-type information devices, monocular smart glasses and head-mounted displays can also be applied. In addition, the wearable terminal is an information device equipped with notification functions such as a display and vibration function, and a communication function such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) that can communicate with the glasses-type information device, and the present invention gives a smart watch 110 as an example thereof.

[0013] The smart glasses 101 are wearable information terminals worn by a user near the eyes, and display a virtual image on a display unit 102 within the user's field of vision without blocking the user's field of vision. Such a display method is called AR (Augmented Reality) or MR (Mixed Reality), and is provided by a function of projecting information onto a transparent display (lens 105) or the user's retina (not shown). Although the figure shows a display that provides an image to one eye, the present invention can also be applied to smart glasses 101 that project an image onto the field of vision of both eyes.

[0014] The display unit 102 is also provided with a camera unit 103 for capturing an image of a subject in the user's line of sight. 104 is a frame and also has a touch sensor, and is an operation frame unit for operating the terminal. The frame 104 has a built-in speaker function and can transmit sound to the user.

[0015] The smart glasses 101 can be equipped with a built-in module such as an eSIM (embedded subscriber identity module) and can connect to the Internet 140 via a mobile network 130 that uses 4G or 5G lines. In addition, the smart glasses 101 can be connected to a mobile router owned by a user via Wi-Fi or USB, and can connect to the mobile network 130 via the mobile router. The smart glasses 101 can also connect to the Internet 140 via Wi-Fi, etc., without going through the mobile network 130.

[0016] The smart watch 110 is a wristwatch-type information terminal worn by a user on the wrist, and the display unit 111 not only displays information such as the time, but also functions as a touch panel and allows the user to operate the terminal. 120 indicates wireless communication for data exchange between the smart glasses 101 and the smart watch 110, and assumes wireless communication based on the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard, but is not limited to this. In addition to display, the smart watch 110 also has a notification function using a vibration function.

[0017] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of each device according to the present invention.

[0018] FIG. 2A is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the smart glasses 101.

[0019] The CPU 201 collectively controls various functions of the smart glasses 101 via the internal bus 206 by a program stored in the ROM 203. The execution result of the program by the CPU 201 can be projected and displayed as an image in the user's field of vision by the display 202. In this embodiment, the display method is assumed to be a method in which the user sees what the display 202 projects in the field of vision through the transparent lens 105. However, it is also possible to adopt a method in which the display 202 projects directly onto the retina. The ROM 203 is a flash memory or the like, and various setting information and application programs, as described above, are stored. The RAM 204 functions as a memory and a work area for the CPU 201. The network I / F (interface) 205 is a hardware module for connecting to the mobile network 130 or Wi-Fi. In addition, when using a mobile router, it is also possible to connect using a USB I / F (not shown) of the smart glasses 101.

[0020] The operation unit 207 accepts input from the user through the operation frame 104, and transmits a signal corresponding to the input to each of the above-mentioned processing units through the operation unit I / F 208. The sensor unit 209 is a simplified illustration of one or more sensors. Specifically, at least one of a GPS, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a proximity sensor, a blood pressure / heart rate measurement sensor, and the like is implemented in the smart glasses 101. In addition, a sensor for detecting biometric information for realizing fingerprint authentication, vein authentication, iris authentication, and the like may also be implemented in the smart glasses 101. The camera 210 has a photographing function, and the photographed image data is stored in the ROM 203. The laser 211 projects various contents onto the display 202, and in the case of a retinal projection method, projects the contents directly onto the retina. The storage device 212 is a storage medium and is a device for storing various data such as applications. It also includes a device for reading data from the storage medium and a device for deleting data. Some terminals do not have the storage device 212 and only have the ROM 203. The short-range communication I / F 213 is an interface used for communication with the smart watch 110 and the like, and realizes wireless communication 120, for example.

[0021] Although not shown, the smart glasses 101 can further include a configuration for realizing voice calls using a network or telephone line so that they can be used in place of modern smartphones. Specifically, the smart glasses 101 will be equipped with a component for connecting to a telephone line, a speaker, a microphone, a voice control chip, and the like.

[0022] FIG. 2B is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the smart watch 110.

[0023] The CPU 221 collectively controls various functions of the smart watch 110 via the internal bus 226 by a program stored in the ROM 223. Results of application programs executed by the CPU 221, notifications from the smart glasses 101, etc. are displayed on the display 222. The ROM 223 is a flash memory or the like, and stores various setting information, application programs, etc. as described above. The RAM 224 functions as a memory or work area for the CPU 221. The short-range communication I / F 225 controls the smart watch 110 to exchange data with an external network device one-way or two-way via the wireless communication 120. The operation unit 227 accepts input from a user through the display unit 111, and transmits a signal corresponding to the input to each of the processing units described above via the operation unit I / F 228. A form in which the display 222 and the operation unit 227 are integrated using a touch panel or the like can also be realized. The sensor unit 229 is simply illustrated as one or more sensors. Specifically, the smart watch 110 is equipped with at least one of a GPS, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a proximity sensor, a blood pressure / heart rate measurement sensor, etc. The smart glasses 101 may also be equipped with a sensor for detecting biometric information to realize fingerprint authentication, vein authentication, iris authentication, etc.

[0024] As mentioned above, the smart glasses 101 can further execute software for implementing a voice communication function.

[0025] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a modular software configuration of each device according to the present invention.

[0026] FIG. 3A shows the software module configuration of the smart glasses 101.

[0027] The communication unit 301 transmits instruction information to the smart watch 110 and status information of the smart glasses 101 to the smart watch 110. In addition to receiving instruction information transmitted from the smart watch 110, the communication unit 301 also receives notifications from an application server that cooperates with the smart glasses 101 via a network using the network I / F 205. The status information means whether the smart glasses 101 are being used by a user, and mode information of the smart glasses 101 (standby mode, power saving mode, etc.). The storage unit 302 exchanges information between the ROM 203, the RAM 204, and other processing units. The storage unit 302 also stores image data captured by the camera 210.

[0028] The display unit 303 displays the results of various applications executed by the CPU 201, such as AR / MR display. For example, AR technology is used to display content (information projection) on the display 202 so that virtual content is superimposed on real space. Note that the present invention can also employ a method of direct projection onto the retina. Here, in the information projection, the position and orientation of the user's own device in real space may be estimated based on a technology such as SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping). The estimation result is used for display processing of the virtual content.

[0029] The operation unit 304 accepts input from the user through the operation frame 104, and accepts and controls various application operations and operation instructions for display on the display 202. The camera control unit 305 controls the start, stop, and shooting of the camera 210, and stores the captured image data in the ROM 203 in cooperation with the storage unit 302. The mode control unit 306 controls switching to multiple modes provided in the smart glasses 101, and switches the smart glasses 101 to a mode desired by the user. The status detection unit 307 manages information such as status changes and usage status detected by the sensor unit 209, and stores it in the ROM 203. The pairing unit 308 controls the network I / F 205 so as to enable bidirectional data communication with an external network device via the wireless communication 120. The application management unit 309 manages the execution status, version information, and notifications received from the server of various applications, and manages them in the ROM 203 and RAM 204 via the storage unit 302.

[0030] FIG. 3B shows the modular configuration of software in the smart watch 110.

[0031] The clock unit 321 manages and controls time information to be displayed on the display 222. The management and control of the time information may be performed by an application program stored in the ROM 223. The communication unit 322 transmits instruction information to the smart glasses 101, and receives status information of the smart glasses 101, as well as notifications from an application server. The storage unit 323 exchanges information between the ROM 223, the RAM 224, and other processing units. The display unit 324 displays the time information managed by the clock unit 321 and the results of various applications executed by the CPU 221. It also displays application notifications transferred from the smart glasses 101. The operation unit 325 accepts input from the user on the display unit 111, and controls the operation of various applications and display on the display 222. The status detection unit 326 manages the status changes detected by the sensor unit 229 as information and stores it in the ROM 223. A pairing unit 327 controls the short-range communication I / F 225 to enable two-way data communication with an external network device via the wireless communication 120. An application management unit 328 manages the execution status, version information, notifications received from the server, and the like of various applications, and manages them in the ROM 223 and RAM 224 via the storage unit 323.

[0032] Both the smart glasses 101 and the smart watch 110 have settings in the storage units 302 and 324 for whether or not to receive notifications from various applications executed inside and outside the device. Table 1 is an example of a notification setting table managed by the storage unit 302 of the smart glasses 101. For example, "Application0001" whose application identification information (Application ID) is "0001" has the notification setting (Notification) enabled (ON). "Application0003" whose application identification information is "0003" has the notification setting disabled (OFF). The notification setting is enabled in response to the user's consent to permission for notifications when application information is registered in the smart glasses 101 at the time of installing the application, etc.

[0033] [Table 1]

[0034] Each terminal controls whether or not to receive a notification for each application, or whether or not to provide the received notification to the user, according to the settings in the application notification setting table. As described above, the method of providing the notification to the user can be display control using the display 202 or the display 222, or a notification using a vibration function, etc.

[0035] Furthermore, both the smart glasses 101 and the smart watch 110 have a setting in the storage units 302 and 324 as to whether or not they will become the notification source and transfer the notification to another linked terminal when they receive a notification from an application executed inside or outside the device. This setting can be set for each application. A linked terminal by pairing or the like can be specified as the notification transfer destination. Information on the application to which the notification is to be transferred can be shared between linked terminals. In other words, the transfer destination terminal can also manage information on the application to which notifications will be transferred in the future.

[0036] Table 2 is an example of a notification source management table managed by the memory unit 302 of the smart glasses 101. For example, a notification from "Application0001" whose application identification information is "0001" will be transferred to the smart watch 110 indicated by the terminal ID (watch_110) set in the transfer destination (TO). A notification from "Application0003" whose application identification information is "0003" will be transferred from the smart watch 110 indicated by the terminal ID (watch_110) set in the transfer source (FROM).

[0037] [Table 2]

[0038] If communication is not possible, such as when pairing with the terminal specified as the forwarding destination is canceled, the notification is not forwarded. Even if notification is enabled and a forwarding destination is set in Tables 1 and 2, the forwarding source device can also notify the user using display control, vibration function, etc. Therefore, it is possible to provide the user with the same notification by "Application0001" whose application identification information is "0001" in both the smart glasses 101 and the smart watch 110.

[0039] In addition, the smart glasses 101 have several operation modes, and mode transitions are controlled by the mode control unit 306 in accordance with user operations or preset conditions. In this embodiment, the definitions of the modes are defined as follows, but are not limited to these. Standby mode: The device is in low power standby mode without closing running apps. It will instantly resume when an operation or notification is received. - Do not disturb mode: An operation mode that is entered at the user's command. An operation mode in which the user is using the device but is prevented from receiving non-urgent information such as notifications from applications. Power saving mode: A state in which only some applications, network functions, and services are running in the background. No display is being performed using the display 202. The device can be switched to the power saving mode even while it is being worn. Drive mode: A mode that is set automatically or at the user's command while the user is driving a vehicle. An operating mode in which some applications such as calling apps and navigation apps can be used.

[0040] 8 is an example of a virtual display of a setting screen for setting notifications in the smart glasses 101. It is assumed that the image is projected into the user's field of vision by the display 202. It is also possible to perform similar settings by accessing an external terminal such as a PC for a user interface such as a web server (not shown) provided by the smart glasses 101.

[0041] Reference numeral 801 denotes a setting area for setting notifications by mode. When the smart glasses 101 are in each mode, it can be set whether or not to notify the user's field of view via the display 202. In the figure, the setting is such that no notification is made in the concentration mode and drive mode, and notification is made in the drive mode. For example, an example of the display mode when a notification is received from an email application is shown in FIG. 5(A). In addition, the display of notifications from the smart watch 110 is also controlled according to this setting.

[0042] An area 802 indicates whether or not to forward notifications to a paired device. When the setting 802 is enabled (ON), notifications from at least some applications are forwarded to the paired smart watch 110.

[0043] 803 is an item to be set when the setting 802 is enabled, and can be set as to whether or not to restrict the display control of notifications on the smart glasses 101 by the display 202 when the smart glasses 101 are not being used by the user (when not in use). When the setting 803 is enabled (ON), the display of notifications on the smart glasses 101 by the display 202 is restricted when the smart glasses 101 are not being used. On the other hand, when the setting 803 is disabled (OFF), even when the smart glasses 101 are not being used, if the conditions for notification, such as a powered state, are met, the smart glasses 101 attempt to execute display control for notifications. The default setting of the setting 803 is enabled.

[0044] 804 is a setting area for setting whether or not to forward notifications from all applications for which the notification setting managed in Table 1 is enabled to the paired device. When setting 803 is enabled (ON), notifications from all applications are forwarded. When setting 803 is disabled (OFF), the application to which notifications are forwarded is selected from a list of applications for which the notification setting is enabled. Notifications from applications for which the setting is enabled (ON) are subject to forwarding. The result of this setting is also used in Table 2 described above.

[0045] 4 shows a flowchart for explaining the notification control process in the smart glasses 101. This process is realized by the CPU 201 executing a program including each step described below.

[0046] In S401, the smart glasses 101 receive a notification from an application via the communication unit 301. An example of an application notification in this embodiment is a notification received from an application server (not shown) that cooperates with an application installed in the smart glasses 101 via a network such as the Internet 140. Other examples of notifications include notifications (such as alarms) automatically generated by an application installed in the smart glasses 101, or notifications generated in response to user operations.

[0047] In S402, the smart glasses 101 refer to the application notification setting table (Table 1) and determine whether the notification setting of the target application is enabled (ON). If the result of the determination in S402 is that the notification setting is OFF, this process ends. If the result of the determination in S402 is that the notification setting is ON, proceed to S403. Note that instead of S401 and S402, it is also possible to realize control such that only notifications from applications whose notification settings are enabled are requested and received.

[0048] In S403, the smart glasses 101 refer to the notification forwarding management table (Table 2) and determine whether a notification forwarding destination (TO) has been specified. If the result of the determination in S403 shows that a forwarding destination has not been specified for the target application, the process proceeds to S409. If the result of the determination in S403 shows that a forwarding destination has been specified, the process proceeds to S404.

[0049] In S404, the smart glasses 101 judge whether or not their usage status is that they are being used by a user (in use). This step is skipped if the setting 803 in Fig. 8 is invalid. If the result of the judgment in S404 is that they are being used, the process proceeds to S405, and if they are not being used, the process proceeds to S406.

[0050] Here, the usage state "in use" means that AR / MR or the like is being displayed using the display 202 in the smart glasses 101, that control is being executed in response to a user operation, and the like. These states are detected and managed by the status detection unit 307. In addition, when the frame of the smart glasses 101 is closed and the smart glasses 101 are in a power saving mode without being worn, it may be determined that the smart glasses 101 are not in use (not in use). When the smart glasses 101 are not worn and are set in a dedicated case for the purpose of charging or the like, it may also be determined that the smart glasses 101 are not in use (not in use).

[0051] In S405, it is determined whether the current mode of the smart glasses 101 is a mode (predetermined mode) that has been set to be disabled in the setting 801. If it is determined in S405 that the current mode is the predetermined mode, the process proceeds to S406, and if it is not the predetermined mode, the process proceeds to S407.

[0052] In S406, the smart glasses 101 transfer the notification from the application to the paired smart watch 110. The display unit 324 of the smart watch 110 displays the notification from the smart glasses 101 received via the communication unit 322 on the display 222, as shown in FIG. 5(B).

[0053] In S407, the display unit 303 of the smart glasses 101 controls the display of the notification from the application using the display 202 as shown in FIG. 5A. In FIG. 5A, a virtual display of a notification icon shown in 501 is projected into the user's field of vision. In S408, similar to S406, the smart glasses 101 transfers the notification from the application to the paired smart watch 110.

[0054] In S409, as in S405, it is determined whether the current mode of the smart glasses 101 is a predetermined mode. If the result of the determination in S409 is that the current mode is the predetermined mode, this process ends, and if the current mode is not the predetermined mode, the process proceeds to S410. In S410, as in S407, the display unit 303 of the smart glasses 101 controls the display of a notification from the application using the display 202.

[0055] In addition, if information from the terminal detects that the user is not wearing the terminal paired with the smart glasses 101, it is also possible to control the notification transfer process of S406 and S408 not to be executed.

[0056] Unlike a smartphone, the smart glasses 101 are worn as glasses, and therefore are used differently by the user. In addition, unlike a smartphone, the smart glasses 101 can project notifications and the like into the user's field of vision, which may cause danger when the user is performing a certain task or driving a vehicle, as the notifications may distract the user from the task or driving.

[0057] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, flexible notification control can be realized in the smart glasses 101 and the paired device according to the usage state and operation mode of the smart glasses 101.

[0058] Example 2 In this embodiment, a description will be given of notification control by the smart watch 110 in accordance with the usage state and operation mode of the smart glasses 101. Unless otherwise specified, the internal configuration of the system and each device is the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0059] 6 is a flowchart showing application notification processing of the smartwatch 110. This processing is realized by the CPU 221 executing a program including each step described below. This flowchart explains the processing when a notification occurs from a clock application with an alarm function in the smartwatch 110 or an application that provides health information such as blood pressure and number of steps.

[0060] In S601, the smartwatch 110 detects a notification event from an application. In S602, the smartwatch 110 refers to the application notification setting table in its own device and determines whether the notification setting of the target application is enabled (ON). If the result of the determination in S602 is that the notification setting of the target application is disabled (OFF), this process ends, and if the notification setting is enabled, the process proceeds to S603.

[0061] In S603, the display unit 324 of the smart watch 110 displays the notification from the target application on the display 222.

[0062] In S604, the smart watch 110 refers to the notification forwarding management table and determines whether the smart glasses 101, which is the paired device, are set as the forwarding destination of the target application. If there is a forwarding setting, the process proceeds to S605, and if there is no forwarding setting, the process ends.

[0063] In S605, the smart watch 110 refers to the use state and mode of the smart glasses 101 and determines whether the transfer is permitted. If the transfer is permitted, proceed to S606, and if the transfer is not permitted, end this process. Here, it is assumed that the smart glasses 101 support a function of responding with the use state and mode in response to a request from the smart watch 110. Note that the smart glasses 101 may support a function of notifying the smart watch 110 of a change event in the use state and mode. For example, as in the first embodiment, if the smart glasses 101 are not in use or are in either the concentration mode or the drive mode, No is determined in S605.

[0064] In S606, the smart watch 110 transfers the notification from the application to the smart glasses 101 via wireless communication 120. The display unit 303 of the smart glasses 101 controls the display of the transferred notification from the application using the display 202.

[0065] Example 3 In this embodiment, a process will be described when the notification content from the application is an exceptional notification including a highly urgent notification such as specific disaster information. Unless otherwise explained, the internal configuration of the system and each device is the same as in the first embodiment, and this control can be realized in addition to the controls in the first and second embodiments.

[0066] Fig. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the notification control process by the glasses-type information device in the third embodiment. Here, the difference from the flowchart shown in Fig. 4 will be explained.

[0067] In S701, the smart glasses 101 in S401 determine whether or not the notification from the application via the communication unit 301 or the like is the above-mentioned exception notification. As described above, exception notifications include notifications of high urgency, such as natural disasters, emergency warnings, civil protection information, etc. If the result of the determination in S701 is that it is not an exception notification, the process proceeds to S402, and if it is determined that it is an exception notification, the process proceeds to S407.

[0068] According to this embodiment, an advantage is obtained in that the user can exceptionally check the exception notification on both the smart glasses 101 and the smart watch 110.

[0069] (Other Examples) The present invention also includes an apparatus or system configured by appropriately combining the above-described embodiments, and a method thereof.
