DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] An information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile object position information acquisition processing unit that acquires information about a mobile object traveling to a plurality of destinations, and a distribution processing unit that distributes distribution information including information about the current location of the mobile object to a terminal device associated with the destinations, the distribution information including first information and second information different from the first information, and the distribution processing unit distributes the first information to a terminal device associated with a destination to be visited next by the mobile object, and distributes the second information to a terminal device associated with a destination other than the destination to be visited next by the mobile object. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent a third party from identifying a destination associated with each terminal device (for example, a home location of a user of the terminal device), and to distribute information different from information distributed to a terminal device associated with another destination to be visited next by the mobile object. As a result, it is possible to distribute information about the mobile object while protecting privacy.

[0012] The first information may include a detailed current location of the mobile object, and the second information may not include a detailed current location of the mobile object. In this way, it is possible to prevent a destination associated with each terminal device (e.g., a home location of a user of the terminal device) from being identified by a third party, while delivering a detailed location of the mobile object to a terminal device associated with a destination that the mobile object will visit next.

[0013] The second information may include information indicating the area in which the mobile object is currently located. In this manner, users of multiple terminal devices can confirm the approximate location of the mobile object while preventing a third party from identifying a destination associated with each terminal device (e.g., the home location of the user of the terminal device).

[0014] The two-dimensional area including all of the plurality of destinations may be divided into a plurality of divided areas, and the second information may include information indicating which of the plurality of divided areas the moving object is in. In this manner, it is possible for users of a plurality of terminal devices to confirm the approximate location of the moving object while preventing others from identifying the destinations associated with each terminal device (for example, the home location of the user of the terminal device).

[0015] It is preferable to further include an area division processing unit that divides a two-dimensional area including all of the plurality of destinations into the plurality of divided areas. In this way, each time the destinations traveled by the mobile object are changed, the two-dimensional area including all of the destinations traveled by the mobile object can be divided into a plurality of divided areas. Therefore, even if the destinations traveled by the mobile object are changed, it is possible for users of a plurality of terminal devices to confirm the approximate location of the mobile object while preventing others from identifying the destinations associated with each terminal device (for example, the home location of the user of the terminal device).

[0016] It is preferable that the divided area includes a plurality of buildings. In this way, it is possible to prevent a third party from identifying the location of a visit destination (for example, the home location) based on information indicating which of the plurality of divided areas the visitor is located in.

[0017] It is preferable that the divided area includes one or less of the visited destinations. In this way, it is possible to more reliably prevent a visited destination associated with each terminal device (for example, the home location of the user of the terminal device) from being identified by a third party.

[0018] The distribution processing unit may distribute the first information to a terminal device associated with a destination to be visited next by the mobile body after the mobile body enters a divided area including the destination to be visited next by the mobile body. In this manner, it is possible to prevent a user of a terminal device associated with the next destination from identifying a detailed location of the previous destination.

[0019] The distribution processing unit may distribute the first information to a terminal device associated with a destination to be visited next by the mobile object after the mobile object leaves a divided area including a destination visited most recently by the mobile object. This also makes it possible to prevent a detailed location of the most recently visited destination from being identified by a user of a terminal device associated with the next destination.

[0020] The system may further include a travel route division processing unit that divides a travel route of the mobile object into a plurality of divided sections, and the distribution processing unit may distribute the first information to a terminal device associated with a destination to be visited next by the mobile object after the mobile object enters a divided section including the destination to be visited next by the mobile object. This also makes it possible to prevent a detailed location of the previous destination from being identified by a user of a terminal device associated with the next destination.

[0021] The system may further include a travel route division processing unit that divides a travel route of the mobile object into a plurality of divided sections, and the distribution processing unit may distribute the first information to a terminal device associated with a destination to be visited next by the mobile object after the mobile object leaves a divided section that includes a destination visited immediately before. This also makes it possible to prevent a detailed location of the immediately before destination from being identified by a user of a terminal device associated with the next destination.

[0022] The delivery processing unit may deliver the first information to a terminal device associated with a destination visited next by the mobile body after the mobile body satisfies a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition may include at least one of the following: the mobile body makes a right or left turn a predetermined number of times after leaving a destination visited last, the mobile body travels a link different from the link where the destination visited last is located after leaving the destination visited last, and the mobile body moves a predetermined distance away from the destination visited last after leaving the destination visited last. This also makes it possible to prevent a detailed location of the destination visited last from being identified by a user of a terminal device associated with the next destination.

[0023] Moreover, an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is an information processing method executed by a computer, and includes a mobile object position information acquisition process step of acquiring mobile object position information acquired by a mobile object traveling to a plurality of destinations, and a distribution process step of distributing distribution information including information on the current location of the mobile object to a terminal device associated with the destinations, the distribution information including first information and second information different from the first information, and in the distribution process step, the first information is distributed to a terminal device associated with a destination to be visited next by the mobile object, and the second information is distributed to a terminal device associated with a destination other than the destination to be visited next by the mobile object. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent a third party from identifying a destination associated with each terminal device (for example, a home location of a user of the terminal device), and to distribute information different from information distributed to a terminal device associated with another destination to be visited next by the mobile object. As a result, it is possible to distribute information about the mobile object while protecting privacy.

[0024] Moreover, an information processing program according to an embodiment of the present invention causes a computer to execute the above-mentioned information processing method, thereby making it possible to distribute information about a moving object while protecting privacy using a computer.

[0025] Moreover, a computer-readable storage medium according to an embodiment of the present invention stores the above-mentioned information processing program, which makes it possible to distribute the above-mentioned information processing program as a standalone program in addition to being incorporated into a device, and makes it easy to perform version upgrades, etc. EXAMPLES

[0026] <Information processing device 100> 1 is a diagram showing an information processing device 100 according to this embodiment. The information processing device 100 includes a control unit 110, a storage unit 120, and a communication unit 130. The control unit 110 is configured by, for example, a computer. The storage unit 120 is a storage device for storing information, such as a hard disk or memory. The communication unit 130 is a communication device for transmitting and receiving information to and from other devices.

[0027] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a mobile object information distribution system including an information processing device 100. The information processing device 100 may be an in-vehicle device (e.g., a drive recorder or a smartphone) installed in a mobile object M such as a vehicle as shown in Fig. 2(A), or may be a device (e.g., a server) installed outside the mobile object M that communicates with an in-vehicle device 300 (e.g., a drive recorder or a smartphone installed in the mobile object M) installed in the mobile object M as shown in Fig. 2(B).

[0028] When the information processing device 100 is an in-vehicle device installed in a moving body M such as a vehicle, the mobile body information distribution system includes an information processing device 100 and a plurality of terminal devices 200 as shown in Fig. 2(A). When the information processing device 100 is a device installed outside the moving body that communicates with a device 300 installed in the moving body M, the mobile body information distribution system includes the information processing device 100, a plurality of terminal devices 200, and the in-vehicle device 300 as shown in Fig. 2(A). The terminal device 200 is, for example, a smartphone or a personal computer.

[0029] The mobile object M is a mobile object that travels to a plurality of destinations, and each of the plurality of terminal devices 200 is associated with one of the destinations. For example, the storage unit 120 stores information about the destinations that the mobile object M is scheduled to visit, and a table that lists the terminal devices 200 associated with the destinations.

[0030] The mobile object M is a mobile object that multiple users ride on, and is, for example, a shuttle bus for a facility such as a kindergarten, a nursery school, or a daycare center. In this case, the destinations visited by the mobile object M include locations related to the home (home, a road facing the home, and a meeting place near the home) of the user riding the mobile object M (for example, a kindergarten riding the shuttle bus, a nursery school child, or a daycare facility user). The terminal device associated with the destination is, for example, a terminal device used by a person related to the destination (for example, a guardian of a nursery school child or a facility user related to the destination).

[0031] 3 is a diagram showing the control unit 110. The control unit 110 has a mobile object location information acquisition processing unit 111 and a distribution processing unit 112.

[0032] The mobile object position information acquisition processing unit 111 acquires the position of the mobile object M. The position of the mobile object M is acquired, for example, by a device (for example, a GPS antenna) installed in the mobile object M. When the information processing device 100 is an in-vehicle device installed in the mobile object M, the information processing device 100 may acquire the position of the mobile object M from this device, or may have its own device for acquiring the position of the mobile object, such as a GPS antenna. When the information processing device 100 is a device installed outside the mobile object M that communicates with the in-vehicle device 300 installed in the mobile object M, the in-vehicle device 300 may acquire the position of the mobile object from these devices, or may have its own device for acquiring the position of the mobile object, such as a GPS antenna.

[0033] The distribution processing unit 112 distributes distribution information including information on the current position of the mobile body M to the terminal device 200 associated with the visit destination. At this time, for example, when the information processing device 100 is an in-vehicle device installed in the mobile body M, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the distribution information to the terminal device 200 by using the communication with the terminal device 200 by the communication unit 130. Also, when the information processing device 100 is a device installed outside the mobile body M that communicates with the in-vehicle device 300 installed in the mobile body M, the distribution processing unit 112 may acquire the position of the mobile body from the in-vehicle device 300 by using the communication with the in-vehicle device 300 by the communication unit 130 as shown in FIG. 4(A), and distribute distribution information including information on the acquired position of the mobile body to the terminal device 200 by using the communication with the terminal device 200 by the communication unit 130, or may transmit the distribution information from the in-vehicle device 300 to the terminal device 200 by using the communication with the in-vehicle device 300 by the communication unit 130 as shown in FIG. 4(B).

[0034] In this embodiment, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the distribution information in a manner that makes it impossible to identify the detailed current location of the moving object M. In other words, it is preferable that the distribution information does not include, for example, the detailed current location of the moving object M.

[0035] Thus, in this embodiment, the detailed location of the mobile object is not distributed to the terminal device. Therefore, in this embodiment, the user of the terminal device cannot know the detailed location of the mobile object. As a result, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent a third party from identifying the location of a destination (e.g., the home location) from the location of the mobile object (e.g., the stopping location of the mobile object). Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to distribute information related to the mobile object while protecting privacy.

[0036] 5 is a diagram showing a terminal device 200. The terminal device 200 has a control unit 210, a communication unit 220, and a display unit 230. The control unit 210 is configured by, for example, a computer. The communication unit 230 is a communication device for transmitting and receiving information to and from other devices. The display unit 240 is a display device for displaying information such as a display.

[0037] 6 is a diagram showing the control unit 210 of the terminal device 200. The control unit 210 has a reception processing unit 211 that receives distribution information distributed from the information processing device 100 by a communication unit 220, and a display processing unit 212 that performs a display indicating the current position of the moving object M on a display unit 230 based on the distribution information.

[0038] For this reason, in this embodiment, the detailed location of the mobile object is not displayed on the display unit of the terminal device, and the user of the terminal device cannot know the detailed location of the mobile object. As a result, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent a third party from identifying the location of a destination (e.g., the home location) from the location of the mobile object (e.g., the stopping location of the mobile object). Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to distribute information about the mobile object while protecting privacy.

[0039] <Information about the current location of moving object M> The distribution processing unit 112 may distribute, as information regarding the current location of the moving object M, for example, details of the moving object M, not its current location, but an area in which the moving object M currently exists, as shown in Fig. 7. In other words, the distribution information may include, for example, information indicating the area in which the moving object M currently exists.

[0040] For example, the distribution processing unit 112 may distribute a circle C of radius R including the current position of the mobile unit M as shown in Figs. 7(A) and (B) as the area in which the mobile unit M currently exists. In this case, the current position of the mobile unit M may be located at the center of the circle C as shown in Fig. 7(A), or the current position of the mobile unit M may be located at a position shifted from the center of the circle C as shown in Fig. 7(B). Furthermore, the distribution processing unit 112 may distribute a rectangular area S including the current position of the mobile unit M as shown in Fig. 7(C) as the area in which the mobile unit M currently exists. In general, map data is divided into certain rectangular areas. Therefore, this rectangular area may be used as the area in which the mobile unit M currently exists. In other words, the distribution information may include information indicating which area of ​​this rectangular area the mobile unit M exists in as information indicating the area in which the mobile unit M currently exists.

[0041] In this way, it becomes possible for users of multiple terminal devices to confirm the approximate location of a moving object while preventing others from identifying the destinations associated with each terminal device (e.g., the home location of the user of that terminal device).

[0042] Also, as shown in Fig. 8, a two-dimensional area WA including all the destinations visited by the mobile object M may be divided into a plurality of divided areas DA, and the distribution processing unit 112 may distribute information indicating which of the plurality of divided areas DA the mobile object is in. In other words, the distribution information may include information indicating which of the plurality of divided areas DA the mobile object M is in. In this case, as shown in Fig. 8, the divided area DA may include one or less destinations, that is, the divided area DA may not include two or more destinations.

[0043] This also enables users of multiple terminal devices to confirm the approximate location of a moving object while preventing others from identifying the destinations associated with each terminal device (e.g., the home location of the user of the terminal device).

[0044] Also, for example, if two destinations are in the neighborhood, it is conceivable that the residents of the two destinations already know each other's homes. Therefore, for example, if any of the following conditions is satisfied: "the two destinations are within a specified distance," "the two destinations are on the same link," "the two destinations are in the same housing complex," or "the two destinations are in the same address," the two destinations may be included in the same divided area DA.

[0045] Also, for example, if the divided area DA contains only one building and that one building is a visitor, the location of the visitor (e.g., the home location) may be identified by others from information indicating which of the multiple divided areas the building is located in. Therefore, it is preferable that the divided area DA contains multiple buildings, and in particular, it is preferable that the divided area DA contains multiple buildings other than the visitor. In particular, it is preferable that the divided area DA contains a predetermined number of houses (e.g., detached houses and condominiums).

[0046] The information processing device 100 may further include an area division processing unit 113 that divides a two-dimensional area WA including all of the destinations visited by the mobile object M into a plurality of divided areas DA. In this case, the area division processing unit 113 may divide the two-dimensional area WA including all of the destinations visited by the mobile object M into a plurality of divided areas DA so that the divided area DA includes one or less destinations, that is, so that the divided area DA does not include two or more destinations. The area division processing unit 113 may also divide the divided area DA so that a plurality of buildings are included.

[0047] In this way, each time the destinations traveled by the mobile object are changed, it is possible to divide the two-dimensional area including all of the destinations traveled by the mobile object into multiple divided areas. Therefore, even if the destinations traveled by the mobile object are changed, it is possible for users of multiple terminal devices to confirm the approximate location of the mobile object while preventing others from identifying the destinations associated with each terminal device (for example, the home location of the user of the terminal device).

[0048] 9 is a diagram showing an example of the processing operation in the area division processing unit 113. A two-dimensional area WA including all the destinations visited by the mobile object M is divided into multiple divided areas DA (step S901). If there is a divided area DA including multiple destinations (step S902, YES), the size of the divided area DA is reduced until the number of destinations included in that area is one or less (step S903). If there is no divided area DA including multiple destinations (step S902, NO), the processing ends.

[0049] When changing the size of the divided area DA, the divided area DA may be enlarged or reduced by combining or dividing the divided area DA, as shown in FIG. 10(A), or the divided area DA may be enlarged or reduced by widening or narrowing the distance between the grid lines that define the divided area DA, as shown in FIG. 10(B).

[0050] When dividing a two-dimensional area WA including all the destinations visited by a mobile object M into a plurality of divided areas DA, the size of all the divided areas DA may be the same as shown in Fig. 8, or the size of the divided areas DA may be changed according to the density of the destinations as shown in Fig. 11. In the example shown in Fig. 11, the sizes of the divided areas DA2 and DA3 in an area where destinations are densely located are smaller than the size of the divided area DA1 in an area where destinations are not densely located.

[0051] <Delivery of detailed current location of moving object M> The distribution information may include first information and second information different from the first information, and the distribution processing unit 112 may distribute the first information of the distribution information to a terminal device 200 associated with a destination to be visited next by the mobile body, and distribute the second information of the distribution information different from the first information to a terminal device associated with a destination other than the destination to be visited next by the mobile body.

[0052] In this way, it is possible to prevent others from identifying the destinations associated with each terminal device (e.g., the home location of the user of the terminal device), while delivering information to the terminal device associated with the next destination visited by the mobile object that is different from the information delivered to terminal devices associated with other destinations.

[0053] In this case, for example, the first information may include a detailed current location, and the second information may not include a detailed current location. Also, in this case, the second information may include information indicating the area in which the moving object is currently located, as shown in FIG.

[0054] In this way, it is possible to prevent others from identifying the destinations associated with each terminal device (e.g., the home location of the user of the terminal device), while delivering the detailed location of the mobile object to the terminal device associated with the next destination that the mobile object will visit.

[0055] <Switching distribution information by dividing the area> If the detailed location of the mobile body M is distributed to the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination immediately after leaving the previous destination, there is a possibility that the detailed location of the previous destination will be identified by the user of the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination.

[0056] Therefore, it is preferable that the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the second information to the terminal device 200 associated with the destination to be visited next by the mobile object M after the mobile object M enters the divided area DA including the destination to be visited next by the mobile object M. At this time, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the first information to the terminal device 200 associated with the destination to be visited next by the mobile object M before the mobile object M enters the divided area DA including the destination to be visited next by the mobile object M. That is, as shown in FIG. 12(A), even after the mobile object M leaves the previous destination PD, before the mobile object M enters the divided area DAnd including the next destination ND, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the second information to the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination ND, and as shown in FIG. 12(B), after the mobile object M enters the divided area DAnd including the next destination ND, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the first information to the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination ND.

[0057] In this way, it is possible to prevent the user of the terminal device associated with the next destination from identifying the detailed location of the previous destination.

[0058] In addition, the distribution processing unit 112 may distribute the first information to the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination visited by the mobile object M after the mobile object M leaves the divided area DA including the destination visited most recently by the mobile object M. In this case, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the second information to the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination visited by the mobile object M before the mobile object M leaves the divided area DA including the destination visited most recently. That is, as shown in FIG. 13(A), even after the mobile object M leaves the most recently visited destination PD, before the mobile object M leaves the divided area DApd including the most recently visited destination PD, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the second information to the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination ND, and as shown in FIG. 13(B), after the mobile object M leaves the divided area DApd including the most recently visited destination PD, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the first information to the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination ND.

[0059] This also makes it possible to prevent the user of the terminal device associated with the next destination from identifying the detailed location of the previous destination.

[0060] <Switching distribution information by division section> The information processing device 100 may further include a travel route division processing unit 114 that divides the travel route of the moving object M into a plurality of divided sections. In this case, the travel route division processing unit 114 may divide the travel route TR of the moving object M into a plurality of divided sections DS so that each divided section DS includes one or less destinations, that is, so that each divided section DS does not include two or more destinations, as shown in Fig. 14 .

[0061] At this time, the distribution processing unit 112 may distribute the first information after the mobile object M enters a divided section DS including a destination to be visited next by the mobile object M. At this time, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the second information to the terminal device 200 associated with the destination to be visited next by the mobile object M before the mobile object M enters a divided section DS including the destination to be visited next.

[0062] This also makes it possible to prevent the user of the terminal device associated with the next destination from identifying the detailed location of the previous destination.

[0063] The distribution processing unit 112 may distribute the first information after the mobile object M leaves the divided section DS including the destination visited most recently by the mobile object M. In this case, before the mobile object M leaves the divided section DS including the destination visited most recently by the mobile object M, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the second information to the terminal device 200 associated with the destination to be visited next by the mobile object M.

[0064] This also makes it possible to prevent the user of the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination from identifying the detailed location of the previous destination.

[0065] <Switching distribution information according to conditions> Furthermore, the distribution processing unit 112 may distribute the first information to the terminal device 200 associated with the destination to be visited next by the mobile object M after the mobile object M has satisfied a predetermined condition. In this case, before the mobile object M has satisfied the predetermined condition, the distribution processing unit 112 distributes the second information to the terminal device 200 associated with the destination to be visited next by the mobile object M.

[0066] The specified condition may include at least one of the following conditions: "After leaving the previously visited destination, the mobile body M makes a right or left turn a specified number of times (e.g., once)," "After leaving the previously visited destination, the mobile body M travels along a link other than the link in which the previously visited destination is located," and "After leaving the previously visited destination, the mobile body M moves a specified distance away from the previously visited destination."

[0067] This also makes it possible to prevent the user of the terminal device 200 associated with the next destination from identifying the detailed location of the previous destination.

[0068] The present invention has been described above in terms of preferred embodiments thereof. Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to specific examples, various modifications and variations can be made to these examples without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims.
