Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a setting device for setting devices used by users, such as devices installed in a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there are devices that change the seat position of the driver's seat installed in a vehicle for each user. Meanwhile, a display device of a mobile phone that changes the display mode when the mobile phone is lent to a third party is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the device described in Patent Document 1, when the device is set to the third party mode and a transition from an already displayed screen is requested, the device transitions to a security lock mode, and it becomes impossible to start a new application and display it on the screen. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2015-88837 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, for devices used by multiple users, such as devices installed in a vehicle, it may be preferable to change the settings for each user depending on the settings. However, the display device described in Patent Document 1 does not change the settings for each user who uses the same device, so it is difficult to reflect the individual settings for each user at an appropriate time when multiple users use the device. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A setting device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a storage unit that stores information on each of a plurality of users who individually use a single space, an identification unit that identifies a user who uses the space, an authentication unit that authenticates a user identified by the identification unit, an input unit that can input a designation of a guest user other than the plurality of users, and a setting unit that sets devices in the space based on the information stored in the storage unit. The information stored in the storage unit includes first information and second information that has a greater usage restriction than the first information. When a user is identified by the identification unit, the setting unit performs a predetermined setting to set devices in the space based on the first information of the user identified by the identification unit that is stored in the storage unit, and when a guest user is designated via the input unit, the setting unit performs a predetermined setting based on the first information of the user who used the space last time. A setting device according to another aspect of the present invention includes a storage unit that stores information on each of a plurality of users who individually use a single space, an identification unit that identifies a user who uses the space, an authentication unit that authenticates a user identified by the identification unit, a setting unit that sets devices in the space based on the information stored in the storage unit, and a detection unit that detects the number of people in the space. The information stored in the storage unit includes first information and second information that has a greater usage restriction than the first information. When a user is identified by the identification unit, the setting unit performs a predetermined setting that sets devices in the space based on the first information of the user identified by the identification unit that is stored in the storage unit, and when the detection unit detects two or more people, the setting unit performs the predetermined setting regardless of whether the user is authenticated by the authentication unit. Effect of the Invention

[0006] According to the present invention, individual settings for each user can be reflected at an appropriate timing. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 10. Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating a space to which a setting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied, and shows, as an example, an interior space 1a of a vehicle 1 used individually by multiple users, such as a shared vehicle for car sharing. As shown in Fig. 1, the interior space 1a is provided with a display 2 that displays a navigation screen, etc., an electric driver's seat 3 that can adjust the front-rear position and height, etc., and devices such as an air conditioner. For a user who repeatedly uses such an interior space 1a, it is troublesome to adjust the settings of each device according to his / her own convenience every time he / she uses the space, so from the viewpoint of convenience, it is preferable to automatically reflect the personal settings of each user.

[0009] On the other hand, if personal information of the user, such as the driving history of the vehicle 1, the home address, and messages addressed to the user received via the in-vehicle communication device, is automatically displayed on the display 2, it is highly convenient for the user, but it may also cause inconvenience to the user. In other words, if personal information of the user is automatically displayed on the display 2 while the vehicle is being used by a user other than the user or when there is a passenger, it may cause inconvenience to the user. Therefore, in this embodiment, the setting device is configured as follows so that the personal settings for each user are reflected at an appropriate time, thereby improving convenience for the user while protecting privacy.

[0010] Fig. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the main parts of the setting device 10. As shown in Fig. 2, the setting device 10 is configured to include a computer having a calculation unit 11 such as a CPU, a storage unit 12 such as a ROM, a RAM, and peripheral circuits thereof. The calculation unit 11 has, as its functional components, an identification unit 13, an authentication unit 14, and a setting unit 15, and the storage unit 12 has, as its functional components, a first information database (hereinafter, D / B) 16 and a second information D / B 17.

[0011] A display 2 provided in the vehicle interior space 1a, an input unit 2a such as a touch panel provided on the display 2, and an actuator 3a that drives various devices such as a position adjustment mechanism for the driver's seat 3 and an air conditioner are connected to the setting device 10. Also connected are a start switch 4 such as an ignition switch that supplies power to the in-vehicle devices including the actuator 3a and starts the vehicle 1, and a detection unit 5 such as a seat sensor or an in-vehicle camera that detects the number of occupants. The detection unit 5 may only detect whether the number of occupants is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, for example, only the presence or absence of a passenger.

[0012] The storage unit 12 stores information on personal settings for each user. The first information D / B 16 stores first information that is not restricted for use by users other than the user, and the second information D / B 17 stores second information that is restricted for use by users other than the user. The first information includes setting information that is not related to the user's personal information, such as the brightness of the display 2, the position of the driver's seat 3, and the air volume and temperature of the air conditioner. The second information includes setting information required to display the user's personal information, such as the driving history of the vehicle 1 when the user used it in the past, the user's home address, and messages addressed to the user personally received via the in-vehicle communication device, on the display 2.

[0013] The identification unit 13 identifies a user who uses the vehicle interior space 1a, more specifically, a user who uses the vehicle interior space 1a as a driver this time from among pre-registered users. For example, the identification unit 13 prompts the user to confirm the user's identity by displaying a pre-registered user name on the display 2 in conjunction with the opening and closing of the driver's door of the vehicle 1.

[0014] Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating a user identification screen D1 displayed on the display 2. As shown in Fig. 3, the user identification screen D1 displays the user name of the user A who used the vehicle 1 last time, i.e., in the most recent drive cycle, and displays a button image 2b for confirming via the touch panel (input unit 2a) that the user is the same as the previous user. Also, a button image 2c for specifying other registered users B, C or a guest user is displayed. A guest user is a user account in which second information is not registered, and when a guest user is specified, user authentication, which will be described later, is not performed.

[0015] The identification unit 13 identifies the user confirmed or designated via the button images 2b and 2c as the user who will use the vehicle interior space 1a this time. When a guest user is designated via the button image 2c, or when no user is designated, the identification unit 13 identifies the user who used the vehicle last time as the user who will use the vehicle interior space 1a this time. When second information with usage restrictions for users other than the user is registered as personal information of the user identified by the identification unit 13, the screen transitions to an authentication screen for authenticating the user.

[0016] Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating a user authentication screen D2 displayed on the display 2, and shows an authentication screen for user B to which the screen transitions when user B, whose second information is registered, is designated on the user identification screen D1 in Fig. 3. As shown in Fig. 4, the user authentication screen D2 displays the user name of user B identified by the identification unit 13, and also displays a numeric keypad image 2d for inputting authentication information (e.g., a PIN). The authentication unit 14 prompts the user to input authentication information by displaying the user authentication screen D2 on the display 2, and authenticates the user identified by the identification unit 13 based on the authentication information input via the input unit 2a.

[0017] Regardless of whether user authentication by the authentication unit 14 is successful or not, when the start switch 4 of the vehicle 1 is turned on, the setting unit 15 sets the brightness of the display 2, the position of the driver's seat 3, the air volume and temperature of the air conditioner, and the like, based on the first information of the user identified by the identification unit 13. Furthermore, if user authentication by the authentication unit 14 is successful, the setting unit 15 performs settings necessary for displaying on the display 2 the driving history of the vehicle 1, the user's home address, messages addressed to the individual user received via the in-vehicle communication device, and the like, based on the second information of the authenticated user.

[0018] Each user can register, as his / her second information, a personal setting that changes the range of information permitted to be displayed on the display 2 depending on the presence or absence of a passenger. For example, a personal setting can be registered such that, when there is a passenger, messages addressed to the individual are not displayed on the display 2. In this case, when two or more passengers are detected by the detection unit 5, the setting unit 15 performs setting based only on the first information of the user identified by the identification unit 13, regardless of whether the user authentication by the authentication unit 14 is successful.

[0019] 5 to 9 are time charts for explaining the operation of the setting device 10. As shown in FIG. 5, when the same user A as the previous user is authenticated before the start of the vehicle, when the driver's door of the vehicle 1 in a non-started state is opened at time t0, a user identification screen D1 (FIG. 3) for identifying the user A who used the vehicle interior space 1a last time is displayed on the display 2. After that, when it is confirmed on the user identification screen D1 that the user who will use the vehicle interior space 1a this time is also the user A, a user authentication screen D2 (FIG. 4) is displayed. Further thereafter, when the authentication of the user A is successful at time t1 before the start of the vehicle 1 and the vehicle 1 is started at time t2, the first information and the second information of the user A are reflected. When the user authentication is completed before the start of the vehicle 1 in this way, all personal settings are automatically reflected when the vehicle 1 is started, which is highly convenient for the user.

[0020] FIG. 6 shows a case where the same user A as the previous user is authenticated after the start of the vehicle 1. As shown in FIG. 6, if authentication of user A is not successful before the start of the vehicle 1, only the first information of user A is reflected when the vehicle 1 is started at time t3. Even in this case, the position of the driver's seat 3 and the like are automatically reflected when the vehicle 1 is started, so that user convenience is ensured. Thereafter, if authentication of user A is successful at time t4 after the start of the vehicle 1, the second information of user A is further reflected. In this way, even when user authentication is completed after the start of the vehicle 1, a certain level of convenience is ensured while protecting the user's privacy.

[0021] Fig. 7 shows a case where the user is changed and authenticated before the start of the vehicle 1. As shown in Fig. 7, at time t5 before the start of the vehicle 1, a user B different from the previous user is specified, and after user B is successfully authenticated at time t6, when the vehicle 1 is started at time t7, the first information and second information of user B are reflected. In this way, even if the user is changed, if user authentication is completed before the start of the vehicle 1, all personal settings are automatically reflected when the vehicle 1 is started, which is highly convenient for the user.

[0022] FIG. 8 shows a case where the user is changed and authenticated after the start of the vehicle 1. As shown in FIG. 8, if the user authentication is not successful before the start of the vehicle 1, when the vehicle 1 is started at time t8, only the first information of the user A who used the vehicle interior space 1a last time is reflected, as in FIG. 6. Thereafter, when a user B different from the previous time is specified at time t9 and authentication of the user B is successful, the first information of the user B is reflected in place of the first information of the user A, and the second information of the user B is reflected. In this way, even if a user different from the previous time gets in the vehicle and does not perform a user change operation, the second information of the previous user is not automatically reflected in conjunction with the start of the vehicle 1, and the user's privacy is protected.

[0023] FIG. 9 shows a case where the user is changed before the start of the vehicle 1 and is authenticated after the start of the vehicle 1. As shown in FIG. 9, when a user B different from the previous user is specified at time t10, if the user authentication is not successful, only the first information of user B is reflected when the vehicle 1 is started at time t11. Even in this case, the driver's seat 3 position and the like are automatically reflected when the vehicle 1 is started, so that the user's convenience is ensured. After that, if the user authentication is successful at time t12, the second information of user B is further reflected. In this way, even if the user authentication is not completed at the time of starting the vehicle 1, the newly specified first information of the changed user B is reflected, so that the user's convenience is ensured.

[0024] If each user does not wish to reflect the second information, the user may specify a guest user on the user identification screen D1, or may specify his / her own user name on the user identification screen D1 and then not input authentication information on the user authentication screen D2. Alternatively, the user may specify his / her own user name on the user identification screen D1 and then specify a guest user. In this case, only the user's own first information can be reflected.

[0025] FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing by the calculation unit 11 of the setting device 10. The processing shown in this flowchart is started, for example, when the driver's door of the vehicle 1 in a non-started state is opened. First, in step S1, a user identification screen D1 (FIG. 3) is displayed on the display 2, and the user who previously used the vehicle interior space 1a is identified. Next, in step S2, it is determined whether the user has been changed via the input unit 2a. If the result in step S2 is affirmative, the changed user is identified in step S3 and the process proceeds to step S4, and if the result is negative, the same user as the previous time is identified and the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, it is determined whether the ignition switch (start switch 4) has been turned on to start the vehicle 1. If the result in step S4 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S5, and if the result is negative, the process returns to step S2.

[0026] In step S5, the devices installed in the vehicle interior space 1a are set based on the first information of the user identified in step S1 or step S3. Then, in step S6, it is determined whether the user authentication is successful. If the result in step S6 is positive, the devices installed in the vehicle interior space 1a are set based on the second information of the user identified in step S1 or step S3 and the process is terminated, and if the result is negative, the process is terminated without reflecting the second information.

[0027] That is, settings that are not related to personal information, such as the position of the driver's seat 3, are automatically reflected in conjunction with the start-up of the vehicle 1 (steps S4, S5). On the other hand, settings that are related to personal information, such as the display of messages addressed to individuals, are not automatically reflected in conjunction with the start-up of the vehicle 1 (steps S6, S7). In this way, the personal settings for each user are reflected at an appropriate time according to the degree of usage restrictions for users other than the user, so that it is possible to protect the privacy of the user while improving convenience for the user.

[0028] According to this embodiment, the following advantageous effects can be obtained. (1) The setting device 10 includes a storage unit 12 that stores information on each of a plurality of users who individually use a single vehicle interior space 1a, an identification unit 13 that identifies a user who uses the vehicle interior space 1a, an authentication unit 14 that authenticates the user identified by the identification unit 13, and a setting unit 15 that sets the devices in the vehicle interior space 1a based on the information stored in the storage unit 12 (FIGS. 1 and 2). The information stored in the storage unit 12 includes first information and second information to which a greater use restriction is imposed than the first information (FIG. 2). When the user is identified by the identification unit 13, the setting unit 15 sets the devices in the vehicle interior space 1a based on the first information of the user identified by the identification unit 13 stored in the storage unit 12 (steps S1 to S5 in FIG. 10). This allows the individual settings for each user to be reflected at an appropriate timing according to the degree of use restriction, thereby improving the convenience of the user while protecting the privacy of the user.

[0029] (2) When the user is authenticated by the authentication unit 14, the setting unit 15 sets the devices in the vehicle interior space 1a based on the second information of the user authenticated by the authentication unit 14, which is stored in the storage unit 12 (steps S6 to S7 in FIG. 10). That is, when the user is authenticated, the device settings are automatically performed reflecting the second information with a high degree of usage restriction, so that convenience for the user can be further improved.

[0030] (3) After the setting unit 15 sets the devices in the vehicle interior space 1a based on the first information of the identified user, when the user is authenticated, the setting unit 15 sets the devices in the vehicle interior space 1a based on the second information of the authenticated user (steps S5 to S7 in FIG. 10). Therefore, for example, the second information of the user is not automatically reflected in conjunction with the start of the vehicle 1 without going through user authentication, and the privacy of the user can be reliably protected.

[0031] (4) When the identification unit 13 identifies a user on the condition that the start switch 4 of the vehicle 1 is turned on, the setting unit 15 sets the devices in the vehicle interior space 1a based on the first information of the user identified by the identification unit 13, which is stored in the storage unit 12 (steps S4 to S5 in FIG. 10). That is, regardless of the success or failure of user authentication, the first information with a low degree of usage restriction is automatically reflected in conjunction with the start of the vehicle 1, thereby ensuring convenience for the user.

[0032] (5) The first information is information that is not related to the user's personal information, and the second information is information that is related to the user's personal information. In other words, each user's history information, personal information such as a home address, and messages addressed to an individual are managed as the second information and are not disclosed to others by being displayed on the display 2 without user authentication, thereby protecting the user's privacy.

[0033] (6) The first information includes setting information related to the driver's seat 3, the air conditioner, and the display 2 of the vehicle 1, and the second information includes setting information related to the display of the destination history, addresses, and messages of the vehicle 1 on the display 2. In this way, the settings of various devices provided in the interior space 1a of the vehicle are classified into those related to the user's personal information and those not, and each setting is reflected at an appropriate time, so that the convenience of the user of the vehicle 1 can be improved while protecting privacy.

[0034] (7) The setting device 10 further includes an input unit 2a that can input the designation of a specific user among the multiple users or a guest user other than the multiple users (FIGS. 3 and 4). The identification unit 13 identifies a user who previously used the vehicle interior space 1a as a user who will use the vehicle interior space 1a this time before a user is designated via the input unit 2a and after a guest user is designated via the input unit 2a. As a result, regardless of whether user authentication is successful or not, any one of the users is identified and the first information of that user is automatically reflected, thereby ensuring user convenience.

[0035] (8) The setting device 10 further includes an input unit 2a that can input a designation of a guest user other than the multiple users (FIGS. 3 and 4). When a guest user is designated via the input unit 2a, the setting unit 15 sets the devices in the vehicle interior space 1a based on the first information of the user who previously used the vehicle interior space 1a. By designating a guest user, only the first information of the user himself or herself and the previous user is reflected, so that convenience for the user can be ensured.

[0036] (9) The setting device 10 further includes a detection unit 5 that detects the number of people in the vehicle interior space 1a (FIG. 2). When a guest user is specified via the input unit 2a and the detection unit 5 detects two or more people, the setting unit 15 sets the devices in the vehicle interior space 1a based on the first information of the user who used the vehicle interior space 1a last time. That is, even when the same user uses the vehicle interior space 1a consecutively, if there is a passenger, the second information is automatically reflected and personal information such as a message is displayed on the display 2, which is inconvenient for the user. When a guest user is specified and a passenger is detected, the user's privacy can be appropriately protected by reflecting only the first information of the user himself / herself as the previous user.

[0037] (10) The setting device 10 further includes a detection unit 5 that detects the number of people in the vehicle interior space 1a (FIG. 2). When the detection unit 5 detects the number of people equal to or greater than two, the setting unit 15 sets the devices in the vehicle interior space 1a based on the first information of the user identified by the identification unit 13 and stored in the storage unit 12, regardless of whether the user has been authenticated by the authentication unit 14. For example, by managing personal settings such as not displaying messages addressed to an individual on the display 2 when there is a passenger in the vehicle interior space 1a as the second information, the privacy of the user can be further protected.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the display 2 and the driver's seat are given as examples of devices used by the user in Fig. 1 and the like, but the devices in the space are not limited to these. For example, the devices may include a rearview mirror and side mirrors whose angles can be adjusted via an operation unit provided in the vehicle interior space 1a.

[0039] In the above embodiment, an example of setting the driver's seat 3 and the display contents of the display 2 provided in the vehicle interior space 1a has been described, but the single space used individually by multiple users is not limited to the vehicle interior space. For example, it may be an audiovisual room used individually by multiple users. In this case, setting information such as the brightness of the display and the sound field of the speakers provided in the audiovisual room can be the first information, and setting information related to the display of the audiovisual history on the display can be the second information. It may be an office space used individually by multiple users. In this case, setting information such as the setting of the air conditioner provided in the office space and the display setting of the computer can be the first information, and setting information related to files accessible by the computer can be the second information.

[0040] In the above embodiment, an example was described in which settings not related to the user's personal information and settings related to personal information were performed in stages, but the first information and second information with usage restrictions are not limited to this and may be, for example, information related to confidential information.

[0041] In the above embodiment, an example is described in which a user confirmed or specified via the button images 2b, 2c in FIG. 3 or the like is specified as a user who will use the vehicle interior space 1a this time, but the specification of the user is not limited to this. For example, a camera provided in the vehicle may be used to recognize the face of a person who opens the driver's door, and a user corresponding to the recognition result may be specified from among pre-registered users based on the recognized gender, age, etc. In addition, in the above embodiment, an example is described in which a user is authenticated based on a PIN number input via a touch panel (input unit 2a), but the user authentication is not limited to this. For example, a camera provided in the vehicle may be used to perform face authentication or iris authentication, and a sensor provided on the steering wheel may be used to perform fingerprint authentication, palm print authentication, finger vein authentication, etc. Voice authentication may be performed using a microphone provided in the vehicle.

[0042] The above description is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment and modifications, as long as the features of the present invention are not impaired. The above-mentioned embodiment and one or more modifications can be arbitrarily combined, and modifications can be combined with each other. [Explanation of symbols]
