Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a display control device, an unauthorized boarding prevention system, a display control method, and a program.

Background Art

[0002] Various countermeasures have been taken as measures against unauthorized boarding in public transport such as railways. For example, ticket gates are installed at stations, and the gates are opened and closed according to the authentication results of tickets (time-type, QR Code (registered trademark)), transportation IC cards, and mobile terminals, thereby preventing unauthorized boarding. Patent Document 1 describes that unauthorized boarding is prevented by closing the gate of the ticket gate when a commuter pass is authenticated at the ticket gate of an entry station or exit station outside the boarding section of the commuter pass. In addition, when no ticket gate is installed at a station, station staff irregularly check tickets and the like to deter unauthorized boarding.

[0003] In recent years, instead of station ticket gates, studies have been conducted on the introduction of a face authentication service that provides an area for performing user face authentication (hereinafter referred to as "ticket gate area"), identifies the boarding station and alighting station based on face authentication, and settles the boarding fare.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] Embodiment 1 The following describes an example of the configuration of the display control device 10 related to this disclosure, with reference to Figure 1. The display control device 10 communicates with XR (cross-reality) devices worn by users and administrators in public transportation such as railways to prevent fare evasion. Here, XR is a general term for VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), MR (mixed reality), SR (substitutional reality), etc., and the XR device may be a VR device, AR device, MR device, SR device, or a device that includes multiple functions of these. A user is a person who uses the public transportation. An administrator is a person who manages the public transportation; for example, if the public transportation is a railway, it is a station attendant. Specifically, for example, in public transportation where an area for user authentication (hereinafter referred to as the "ticket gate area") is provided instead of a ticket gate, the display control device 10 communicates with an XR device worn by a user who enters the ticket gate area to determine whether the user is allowed to use the public transportation. Furthermore, if the display control device 10 determines that the user is unable to use the public transportation, it will send a prescribed notification to the user or administrator. More specifically, the display control device 10 comprises a first acquisition unit 11, a determination unit 12, a second acquisition unit 13, a generation unit 14, and a display control unit 15.

[0014] The first acquisition unit 11 acquires user identification information and XR device location information from the XR device when a user wearing the XR device enters the ticket gate area of ​​a public transportation system. Here, the user identification information may be the identification information of the XR device worn by the user. The XR device location information may be, for example, location information received by the XR device from GPS (Global Positioning System).

[0015] The determination unit 12 determines whether the user is eligible to use public transportation based on the location information acquired by the first acquisition unit 11 and the eligibility information for use identified based on the user's identification information. Here, the eligibility information for use may be, for example, ticket information, account information, balance information, etc. The determination unit 12 then determines whether the user is eligible to use public transportation based on the location information and the eligibility information for use. For example, the determination unit 12 determines that the user is not eligible to use public transportation if the location information is outside the boarding section of the ticket information included in the eligibility information for use. The determination unit 12 also determines that the user is not eligible to use public transportation if there is no ticket information in the eligibility information and there is also no account information and balance information. Furthermore, the determination unit 12 determines that the user is not eligible to use public transportation if there is no ticket information and no account information in the eligibility information and the balance indicated in the balance information is less than the minimum fare.

[0016] The second acquisition unit 13 acquires an administrator view image, which is the view image of the administrator, from an XR device worn by an administrator of public transportation, or acquires a user view image, which is the view image of the user, from an XR device worn by a user. Note that the second acquisition unit 13 may acquire the administrator view image, which is the view image of the administrator, from the XR device worn by the administrator of public transportation, and may also acquire the user view image, which is the view image of the user, from the XR device worn by the user. Here, the view image is an image that the XR device provides to the wearer of the XR device as the field of view of the wearer. For example, when the XR device is an MR device, the MR device is equipped with a camera, and the camera captures an area corresponding to the field of view of the wearer. Then, the MR device provides the wearer with an image captured by the camera or an image obtained by performing some kind of image processing or the like on the image as a view image.

[0017] The generation unit 14 generates at least one of a processed administrator view image obtained by performing predetermined processing on the administrator view image and a processed user view image obtained by performing predetermined processing on the user view image, according to the determination result from the determination unit 12. For example, when the determination unit 12 determines that the user is not permitted to use the public transportation, the generation unit 14 generates at least one of the processed administrator view image and the processed user view image.

[0018] The display control unit 15 causes the XR device worn by the administrator to display the processed administrator view image, or causes the XR device worn by the user to display the processed user view image. Specifically, the display control unit 15 transmits the processed administrator view image to the XR device worn by the administrator, thereby causing the XR device worn by the administrator to display the processed administrator view image. Alternatively, the display control unit 15 transmits the processed user view image to the XR device worn by the user, thereby causing the XR device worn by the user to display the processed user view image.

[0019] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a display control method according to the present disclosure. First, a first acquisition unit 11 acquires user identification information and XR device position information from an XR device when a user wearing the XR device enters a ticket gate area of public transportation (Step S11: first acquisition processing). Next, a determination unit 12 determines whether the user is permitted to use the public transportation, based on the position information acquired by the first acquisition unit 11 and boarding qualification information identified based on the user identification information (Step S12: determination processing). In Step S12, when the determination unit 12 determines that the user is permitted to use the public transportation (Step S12; Yes), the present processing ends. In Step S12, when the determination unit 12 determines that the user is not permitted to use the public transportation (Step S12; No), a second acquisition unit 13 acquires at least one of an administrator field-of-view image and a user field-of-view image (Step S13: second acquisition processing). Next, a generation unit 14 generates at least one of a processed administrator field-of-view image obtained by performing predetermined processing on the administrator field-of-view image and a processed user field-of-view image obtained by performing predetermined processing on the user field-of-view image (Step S14: generation processing). Next, a display control unit 15 causes the processed administrator field-of-view image to be displayed on the XR device worn by the administrator, or causes the processed user field-of-view image to be displayed on the XR device worn by the user (Step S15: display control processing), and the present processing ends.

[0020] In the display control device 10 according to this disclosure, when a user wearing an XR device enters the ticket gate area of ​​a public transportation facility, the first acquisition unit 11 acquires the user's identification information and the location information of the XR device from the XR device. Next, the determination unit 12 determines whether the user is permitted to use the public transportation facility based on the boarding eligibility information identified based on the user's identification information and the location information of the XR device. Next, if the determination unit 12 determines that the user is not permitted to use the public transportation facility, the generation unit 14 performs a predetermined process on the administrator's view image or user's view image acquired by the second acquisition unit 13 to generate an administrator-processed view image or a user-processed view image. Then, the display control unit 15 displays the administrator-processed view image on the XR device worn by the administrator, or displays the user-processed view image on the XR device worn by the user. Therefore, measures against fare evasion can be taken without installing ticket gates in public transportation facilities such as stations, or installing dedicated equipment such as cameras for biometric authentication. Thus, fare evasion can be prevented at a reduced cost.

[0021] Embodiment 2 Next, with reference to Figure 3, an example of the configuration of the fare evasion prevention system 100 according to this disclosure will be described. In Embodiment 2, a railway will be used as an example of public transportation. The fare evasion prevention system 100 includes XR devices 200_1 to 200_k worn by users U_1 to U_k (where k is an integer of 1 or more) who enter the ticket gate area of ​​a station, XR devices 300_1 to 300_i worn by station staff A_1 to A_i (where i is an integer of 1 or more) at the station, and a display control device 400. Hereinafter, when users U_1 to U_k are not particularly distinguished, they will simply be referred to as user U. Similarly, when station staff A_1 to A_i are not particularly distinguished, they will simply be referred to as station staff A. Similarly, when XR devices 200_1 to 200_k are not particularly distinguished, they will simply be referred to as XR device 200. Similarly, when XR devices 300_1 to 300_i are not specifically distinguished, they are simply referred to as XR device 300. XR devices 200 and 300 are capable of communicating with the display control device 400 via network N.

[0022] The ticket gate area includes an area where ticket gate devices such as bars are not installed. The XR device 200 is able to communicate with the display control device 400 at least in this ticket gate area. An example of a ticket gate area is shown in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 4, the ticket gate area R1 is an area indicated by hatching, which includes the boundary L1 between the inside and outside of the station.

[0023] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the XR device 200. The XR device 200 includes a storage unit 210, a memory 220, a camera 230, a communication unit 240, an output unit 250, and a control unit 260.

[0024] The memory unit 210 is a storage device that stores programs 211 for realizing each function of the XR device 200. The memory unit 210 also stores an application 212 for the XR device 200 to perform the processing necessary for user U to purchase a train ticket. The memory unit 210 may also store passenger eligibility information 213. Passenger eligibility information 213 may include, for example, ticket information, account information, and balance information. Here, ticket information is information about the train ticket purchased by user U. Account information is information about the account used by user U to pay for train travel. Balance information is information about the remaining balance of train fares paid in advance by user U. Memory 220 is a volatile storage device such as RAM, and is a storage area for temporarily holding information when the control unit 260 is operating. Camera 230 is a camera that captures an area corresponding to user U's field of view. Communication unit 240 is a communication interface with network N.

[0025] The output unit 250 outputs the information processing results of the control unit 260. For example, the output unit 250 has a display unit 251 and an audio output unit 252. The display unit 251 is a display device that displays the information processing results of the control unit 260. The XR device 200 may also have an input unit (not shown) that accepts input, and the display unit 251 and the input unit may be configured integrally, such as a touch panel. The audio output unit 252 includes a speaker (not shown) and outputs the information processing results of the control unit 260 as audio.

[0026] The control unit 260 is a processor, or control device, that controls each component of the XR device 200. The control unit 260 loads program 211 from the storage unit 210 into the memory 220 and executes program 211. In this way, the control unit 260 realizes the functions of the output control unit 261.

[0027] The output control unit 261 controls the output unit 250 and causes the output unit 250 to output the information processing result, thereby informing the user U of the information processing result. For example, the output control unit 261 causes the display unit 251 to display a field of view image based on the image captured by the camera 230. The output control unit 261 also causes the display unit 251 to display a user-processed field of view image transmitted from the display control device 400. Furthermore, for example, the output control unit 261 causes the audio output unit 252 to output an audio message indicating that it has been determined that the user U is not permitted to use the railway.

[0028] The XR device worn by station employee A is the same as the XR device worn by user U, except that its memory unit does not store application 212 or boarding eligibility information 213, so its explanation will be omitted. Note that in the XR device worn by station employee A, "user field of view information" in the above explanation should be read as "administrator field of view information," and "user-processed field of view image" as "administrator-processed field of view image."

[0029] Figure 6 shows an example of the configuration of the display control device 400. The display control device 400 includes a storage unit 410, a memory 420, a communication unit 430, and a control unit 440.

[0030] The memory unit 410 is a storage device that stores programs 411 for realizing each function of the display control device 400. The memory unit 410 also stores a user list 412. The memory 420 is a volatile storage device such as RAM, and is a storage area for temporarily holding information when the control unit 440 is operating. The communication unit 430 is a communication interface with the network N.

[0031] The storage unit 410 stores a user list 412. Figure 7 shows an example of the user list 412. As shown in Figure 7, the user list 412 is information that associates user ID 412A, which is the identification information of user U, location information 412B, and boarding eligibility information 412C. The user list 412 may also include other information such as the date and time of user U's railway use. User ID 412A is the identification information of user U that the first acquisition unit 441, described later, acquires from the XR device 200. For example, user ID 412A may be the identification information of user U used to identify user U when user U purchases a ticket using the XR device 200 or a mobile terminal (not shown) that user U possesses, or it may be the identification information of the XR device 200. Location information 412B is the location information of the XR device 200 that the first acquisition unit 441 acquires from the XR device 200. For example, location information 412B may include the name of the station where user U entered the railway (entry station), the name of the transfer station, the name of the station where user U exited the railway (exit station), etc. Also, boarding eligibility information 412C may be information acquired by the first acquisition unit 441 from the XR device 200, or it may be information that user U has previously registered in the user list 412 in association with user ID 412A using the XR device 200 or a mobile terminal (not shown) that user U possesses. For example, boarding eligibility information 412C may include ticket information related to the ticket purchased by user U, account information related to the account used to pay for railway travel by user U, balance information related to the remaining balance of railway fares paid in advance by user U, etc. Account information refers to the account number of the account used to pay for travel.

[0032] The control unit 440 is a processor, or control device, that controls each component of the display control device 400. The control unit 440 loads the program 411 from the storage unit 410 into the memory 420 and executes the program 411. In this way, the control unit 440 realizes the functions of the first acquisition unit 441, the determination unit 442, the second acquisition unit 443, the generation unit 444, the display control unit 445, the position acquisition unit 546, and the transmission unit 547.

[0033] The first acquisition unit 441 acquires user U's identification information and the location information of the XR device 200 from the XR device 200 when user U, wearing the XR device 200, enters the railway ticket gate area R1. Here, user U's identification information may be user U's identification information used to identify user U when user U purchases a train ticket using the XR device 200 or a mobile terminal (not shown) owned by user U, or it may be the identification information of the XR device 200. If user U's identification information is user U's identification information used to identify user U when user U purchases a train ticket using a mobile terminal, the user U's identification information is transmitted to the XR device 200 from the mobile terminal in advance. The location information of the XR device may be, for example, location information received by the XR device 200 from GPS, or it may be the names of the entry station, transfer station, or disembarking station identified by the location information. The first acquisition unit 441 may also acquire user U's identification information, the location information of the XR device 200, and user U's boarding eligibility information from the XR device 200. The first acquisition unit 441 then associates user U's identification information, the location information of the XR device 200, and user U's boarding eligibility information and stores them in the user list 412. Specifically, the first acquisition unit 441 stores the acquired user U's identification information as user ID 412A, the location information of the XR device 200 as location information 412B, and user U's boarding eligibility information as boarding eligibility information 412C in the user list 412.

[0034] The determination unit 442 determines whether user U is eligible to use the railway based on the location information acquired by the first acquisition unit 441 and the eligibility information for use identified based on user U's identification information. Specifically, the determination unit 442 searches the user list 412 based on user U's identification information acquired by the first acquisition unit 441 and extracts the eligibility information for use 412C associated with user ID 412A that matches user U's identification information. Then, the determination unit 442 determines whether user U is eligible to use the railway based on the location information acquired by the first acquisition unit 441 and the eligibility information for use 412C. For example, the determination unit 442 determines that user U is not eligible to use the railway if the location information is outside the boarding section of the ticket information included in the eligibility information for use 412C. Also, the determination unit 442 determines that user U is not eligible to use the railway if there is no ticket information in the eligibility information for use 412C, and there is also no account information and balance information. Furthermore, the determination unit 442 determines that user U is ineligible to use the railway if the boarding eligibility information 412C does not contain boarding ticket information or account information, and the balance indicated in the balance information is less than the minimum fare.

[0035] Furthermore, the determination unit 442 may determine the attributes of user U by performing image recognition processing on the image captured of user U, and determine whether user U is eligible to use the railway based on the location information, boarding eligibility information, and attributes. For example, the determination unit 12 may determine whether user U is an "adult" or a "child" by performing image processing on the image captured of user U, and if the attribute is "adult" and "child fare" is set as the boarding eligibility information, it will determine that user U is not eligible to use the railway. The image captured of user U may be an image from the administrator's view of the XR device 300, or an image captured by a camera installed at a station or the like.

[0036] The second acquisition unit 443 acquires an administrator's field of view image, which is the field of view of station employee A, from an XR device 300 worn by station employee A, or acquires a user's field of view image, which is the field of view of user U, from an XR device 200 worn by user U. Alternatively, the second acquisition unit 443 may acquire an administrator's field of view image, which is the field of view of station employee A, from an XR device 300 worn by station employee A, and also acquire a user's field of view image, which is the field of view of user U, from an XR device 200 worn by user U.

[0037] The generation unit 444 generates at least one of an administrator-processed view image, which is obtained by performing a predetermined process on the administrator's view image, and a user-processed view image, which is obtained by performing a predetermined process on the user's view image, according to the determination result by the determination unit 442. For example, if the determination unit 442 determines that the user U is unable to use the railway, the generation unit 444 generates at least one of the administrator-processed view image and the user-processed view image.

[0038] Specifically, if user U is unable to use the railway, the generation unit 444 may generate a processed administrator view image by adding a predetermined mark to the image area of ​​user U and the surrounding image area included in the administrator view image. For example, the generation unit 444 may generate a processed administrator view image by adding marks such as "×" or "!" to the image area near user U included in the administrator view image.

[0039] Furthermore, if user U is unable to use the railway, the generation unit 444 may generate a user-processed field of view image that restricts the railway services provided to user U via the user field of view image. For example, the generation unit 444 generates a user-processed field of view image in which at least a portion of the timetable or route map displayed in the user field of view image is obscured. The generation unit 444 may also generate a user-processed field of view image in which a virtual wall or virtual ticket gate is displayed on the user field of view image.

[0040] Furthermore, if user U is unable to use the railway, the generation unit 444 may generate a user-processed field of view image in which a display indicating the determination result is added to the user's field of view image. For example, the generation unit 444 may generate a user-processed field of view image in which the background color of the user's field of view image is changed to red, a user-processed field of view image in which the user's avatar is displayed and marks such as "×" and "!" are displayed above the avatar's head, or a user-processed field of view image in which a virtual station attendant is displayed and the station attendant informs the user that "You are not eligible to board the train."

[0041] The display control unit 445 displays the administrator-processed field of view image on the XR device 300 worn by station employee A, or displays the user-processed field of view image on the XR device 200 worn by user U. Specifically, the display control unit 445 transmits the administrator-processed field of view image to the XR device 300 worn by station employee A, thereby displaying the administrator-processed field of view image on the XR device 300. Alternatively, the display control unit 445 transmits the user-processed field of view image to the XR device 200 worn by user U, thereby displaying the user-processed field of view image on the XR device 200. The display control unit 445 may also display the administrator-processed field of view image on the XR device 300 and the user-processed field of view image on the XR device 200.

[0042] In the fraud prevention system 100 related to this disclosure, when a user U wearing an XR device 200 enters the railway ticket gate area R1, the first acquisition unit 441 acquires the user U's identification information and the location information of the XR device 200 from the XR device 200. Next, the determination unit 442 determines whether or not user U is permitted to use the railway based on the boarding qualification information identified based on user U's identification information and the location information of the XR device 200. Next, if the determination unit 442 determines that user U is not permitted to use the railway, the generation unit 444 performs a predetermined process on the administrator's view image or user's view image acquired by the second acquisition unit 443 to generate an administrator-processed view image or a user-processed view image. Then, the display control unit 15 displays the administrator-processed view image on the XR device 300 worn by station employee A, or displays the user-processed view image on the XR device 200 worn by user U. Therefore, measures to prevent fare evasion can be taken without installing ticket gates at stations or specialized equipment such as biometric authentication cameras. Consequently, fare evasion can be prevented at a lower cost.

[0043] Furthermore, if user U is unable to use the railway, the generation unit 444 generates a processed view image for the administrator by adding a predetermined display to the image area of ​​user U and the surrounding image area included in the administrator's view image. This allows station staff A to quickly identify user U who is riding the train without authorization and take appropriate action, such as issuing a warning.

[0044] Furthermore, if user U is unable to use the railway, the generation unit 444 generates a user-processed field of view image that restricts the railway services provided to user U via the user's field of view image. This causes inconvenience to user U, potentially discouraging user U from attempting to ride the train evasively.

[0045] Furthermore, if user U is unable to use the railway, the generation unit 444 generates a user-processed view image in which a display indicating the determination result is added to the user's view image. This can deter user U from attempting to ride the train illegally.

[0046] Furthermore, the first acquisition unit 441 acquires user U's identification information, the location information of the XR device 200, and user U's boarding eligibility information from the XR device 200. The determination unit 442 then determines whether user U is eligible to use the railway based on the location information and boarding eligibility information acquired by the first acquisition unit 441. This eliminates the need for user U to register their identification information and boarding eligibility information in the user list 412 in advance.

[0047] Furthermore, the determination unit 442 determines the attributes of user U, and based on the location information, boarding eligibility information, and attributes, it determines whether user U is eligible to use the railway. As a result, the determination unit 442 can determine, for example, that if user U's attribute is "adult" and "child fare" is set as the boarding eligibility information, user U is not eligible to use the railway.
