Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing system such as a security system that monitors intrusions into a property or a monitoring system that monitors the status of users in a property, and a program for a mobile terminal used in such a system. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, systems have been known that allow a user to remotely switch security modes using a mobile terminal from a location away from a security target such as a home.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses that a security application installed on a mobile device such as a smartphone can be used to remotely set / cancel a security device from the mobile device, and that the mode switching results from the security device can be obtained and displayed on the mobile device. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-137673 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the mobile device is not always in the user's possession, and may be placed on a desk or other such location in an environment where a third party is present. In the prior art such as Patent Document 1, when the security status of the property (such as security mode being off) or the current status of the users in the property (such as going out / coming home, or sleeping in their bedrooms) is notified to mobile devices carried by multiple users, if the switched security mode is also displayed as a notification, it can be seen by a third party, revealing the security status.

[0006] On the other hand, if notification information is displayed in a confidential manner, the user must launch a dedicated application to check the detailed information, and the user cannot immediately check or understand the notification content.

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

[0008] To achieve the above object, an information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a non-wearable portable terminal carried by a user, a wearable portable terminal carried by the user, and an information processing device capable of communicating with at least the portable terminal and monitoring the status of a monitoring target. The information processing device transmits notification information regarding the status of the monitoring target. The portable terminal displays a message corresponding to the notification information, excluding sensitive information included in the received notification information that is restricted from exposure to third parties. The wearable device displays a message corresponding to the notification information, including the restricted information included in the received notification information.

[0009] As a result, the information processing system displays a message excluding sensitive information on a mobile device whose screen may be viewed by a third party, while displaying a message including sensitive information on a wearable device whose screen is unlikely to be viewed by a third party, thereby ensuring the security of the notification content for the user and preventing a decrease in user convenience. The notification information may be transmitted from the information processing device to the mobile device and then forwarded to the wearable device, or information for each device may be transmitted directly from the information processing device to the mobile device and the wearable device. Each of the messages may be displayed on a lock screen (a screen that appears when the power key is pressed when the screen is off).

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

[0011] This prevents sensitive information from being displayed when the wearable device is not worn by the user, and prevents third parties from viewing the contents of the sensitive information.

[0012] The pairing state may be a state in which the wearable device is worn by the user, predetermined authentication has been performed by the user, and the user continues to wear the wearable device. In this case, the wearable device may be capable of displaying the message including the sensitive information while in the pairing state.

[0013] This prevents sensitive information from being displayed and viewed by a third party while the wearable device is being worn by the third party. Predetermined authentication includes, for example, entering a predetermined passcode or password, entering a predetermined gesture, face authentication by turning your face toward the screen, fingerprint authentication by tapping the fingerprint sensor, pulse detection by a pulse sensor, etc.

[0014] The mobile device may display summary information indicating an abstract version of the sensitive information as a message excluding the sensitive information, and the wearable device may display detailed information indicating the specific content of the sensitive information as a message including the sensitive information.

[0015] This allows the user to understand the gist of the notification while ensuring security by displaying a message on the mobile device, and allows the user to safely understand the specific content of the notification by displaying a message on the wearable device.

[0016] The information processing device may be a monitoring device that watches over a subject or monitors for intrusions into a monitored area where the subject is located. In this case, the sensitive information may be information related to the privacy of the subject or information related to the security of the monitored area.

[0017] This prevents sensitive security information, such as when security is released or when the target person goes out, from being seen by a third party. Here, the target person may be the user of the mobile device or wearable device, or the user's parent or other person being watched over other than the user.

[0018] The monitoring device may monitor for intrusions into the monitored area based on a plurality of security modes. In this case, the sensitive information may be information related to the switched security mode, and the mobile device may indicate that the security mode has been switched without indicating the switched security mode in a message excluding the sensitive information, and the wearable device may indicate the switched security mode in a message including the sensitive information.

[0019] This allows the user to understand that the security mode has been switched without third parties being able to see sensitive information such as the deactivation of the security mode through a message on the mobile device, and allows the user to safely understand the security mode after the switch through a message on the wearable device.

[0020] When the notification information is highly urgent information, the mobile terminal may display the message including the sensitive information.

[0021] This allows the same information to be sent to both the mobile device and the wearable device in an emergency, making it possible to prioritize emergency response over the security of the notification content.

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

[0023] This increases user convenience by displaying the same notification on the mobile device, since in an emergency, if the wearable device and mobile device are not paired, the user may not be able to view the notification on the wearable device.

[0024] A program according to another aspect of the present invention is a program for installing a mobile terminal carried by a user, receiving notification information regarding the state of the monitoring target from an information processing device that monitors the state of the monitoring target; displaying a message according to the notification information excluding sensitive information that is included in the notification information and whose exposure to a third party is restricted; and transmitting the notification information including the sensitive information to a wearable terminal worn by the user, and displaying a message corresponding to the notification information. [Effects of the Invention]

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

[Figure 4]FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of notification processing by the security system according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] 10A and 10B are diagrams showing examples of notification screens of a smartphone and a wearable device in a security system according to one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

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

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

[0030] The security device 100 is installed in a surveillance area (target of security), such as a home or business, monitors the surveillance area for abnormalities, and reports any detected abnormalities to a security center. As will be described in detail later, the security device 100 guards the surveillance area using multiple security modes (e.g., out-of-home security mode, at-home security mode, partial set mode, at-home mode, etc.).

[0031] Smartphone 200 is a mobile terminal carried by a resident of a house in the above-mentioned monitoring area, and is capable of connecting to a mobile network such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 3G, or Wi-Fi. If multiple users reside or occupy a building to be guarded, there may be multiple smartphones 200 for each security target. Note that smartphone 200 may be any non-wearable mobile terminal that is carried without being worn by the user, and may be, for example, a mobile terminal, a personal computer, or a tablet terminal.

[0032] The smartphone 200 can switch the security mode by communicating with the security device 100. As shown in the figure, the smartphone 200 may be located inside a house that is within a monitored area, or may be located outside the monitored area, such as in an office where the user works.

[0033] When the smartphone 200 is located within a monitored area, it can communicate with the security device 100 via the mobile network described above as well as short-range wireless communication such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) or Wi-Fi. The security mode switching operation is input on an application (hereinafter referred to as the "security application") that is installed on the smartphone 200 and provides security mode information and other security information.

[0034] The wearable terminal 300 is a device that can be worn on a part of the body of the user of the smartphone 200, such as a smart watch, a wristband, a smart ring (with a projection function), or smart glasses. The wearable terminal 300 is not limited to the above examples as long as it is a wearable device that is worn and carried by the user. The wearable terminal 300 is mainly used by the user to input the security mode switching operation and to view notification information related to the security mode.

[0035] The smartphone 200 is paired with the wearable terminal 300, and after determining various conditions, notifies the wearable terminal 300 and controls the screen (such as displaying a screen on which the security mode switching operation can be input).

[0036] The wearable terminal 300 is paired with the above-mentioned wearable terminal 300, and when it is detected that the wearable terminal 300 is being worn or detached by the user, the wearable terminal 300 is locked (a state in which operations cannot be accepted), and the user can operate the wearable terminal 300 by performing a predetermined unlocking operation. The predetermined unlocking operation is, for example, an operation of inputting a predetermined passcode or password, a screen operation such as swiping, an input operation of a predetermined gesture, a face authentication operation of turning the face toward the screen, a fingerprint authentication operation of tapping the fingerprint sensor, or an unlocking operation on the paired smartphone 200.

[0037] Furthermore, when the wearable terminal 300 is unlocked while worn by the user, the user's identity is considered to have been authenticated and the wearable terminal 300 can be operated without the need for another unlocking operation as long as the user continues to wear the wearable terminal 300. The wearing state can be determined, for example, by whether or not a pulse is detected by a pulse sensor mounted on the wearable terminal 300. Note that pairing refers to a state in which the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 are wirelessly connected, a state in which the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 are wirelessly connected and worn, or a state in which the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 are wirelessly connected and worn and further a predetermined unlocking operation has been performed (identity authentication has been performed).

[0038] Therefore, when a screen (hereinafter also simply referred to as a switching screen) on which a security mode switching operation can be input is displayed on the wearable terminal 300 by the smartphone 200, the user can switch the security mode after identity verification (security is also guaranteed) without the need to unlock the wearable terminal 300. Furthermore, even when the smartphone 200 is in a locked state, the switching operation can be performed using the wearable terminal 300 without the need to unlock the smartphone.

[0039] The center server 400 is a server installed in a security center operated by a security company, and is capable of communicating with the security device 100 and the smartphone 200 via the Internet. A controller is stationed at the security center, and when an abnormality report is received from the security device 100, the controller takes necessary measures such as dispatching a security guard to the object being guarded by the security device 100.

[0040] The center server 400 also stores information such as the location of the building that is the monitored area, and information about users of the security contract who live or reside in the building. For example, the center server 400 pairs the smartphone 200 of each user who lives or resides in the building that is the monitored area with the security device 100, and stores information that groups them by monitored area for authentication. The center server 400 also stores information about the authentication card that has been paired and grouped in the same way as the smartphone 200.

[0041] The security mode switching is performed according to the flow shown in (1) to (8) in the figure. That is, (1) the smartphone 200 requests the center server 400 to switch the security mode via the mobile network based on a security mode switching operation by the wearable terminal 300, (2) the center server 400 authenticates the smartphone 200 (the group to which the smartphone 200 belongs), and if the authentication is successful, transfers the security mode switching request to the security device 100, (3) requesting the security device 100 to switch the security mode. Then, (4) the security device 100 switches the security mode in response to the security mode switching request, and (5) notifies the center server 400 of the completion of the security mode switching.

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

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

[0044] In this embodiment, when the user terminal 200 displays notification information of a push notification received from the security device 100 (center server 400) on the smartphone 200 and also displays it on the wearable terminal 300, the smartphone 200 performs a summary display (non-confidential display) that displays summary information (summary information showing abstract content of the sensitive information) excluding sensitive information related to the security of the area to be monitored from the notification information, and the wearable terminal 300 performs a detailed display (non-confidential display) that displays detailed information (detailed information showing specific content of the sensitive information) including the sensitive information. Details of this display process will be described later. Note that the sensitive information related to the security of the monitored area is part of the information related to the security of the monitored area, such as information about the security mode after switching that reveals the current security information of the monitored object, and information about the operator who set the security mode switch for the monitored object.

[0045] [Security device configuration] 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the security device 100. As shown in the figure, the security device 100 is made up of a main device 101, various sensors 10 and 12, and the like.

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

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

[0048] If an abnormality occurs, the reporting unit 130 reports it to the security center via a communication line. The alarm unit 140 generates various alarm sounds. The display unit 150 is composed of an LED (Light Emitting Diode), a liquid crystal display, etc., and displays various information on and off the main device.

[0049] The communication I / F 170 is an interface for wired or wireless communication with various sensors, etc. The communication I / F 170 also functions as an interface for wireless communication with the smartphone 200, which serves as a remote control unit for switching the security mode.

[0050] The operation unit 160 is configured with, for example, operation buttons, a touch panel, etc., and accepts user operations such as switching the security mode, etc. When the operation unit 160 is a touch panel, the operation unit 160 can be integrated with the display unit 150.

[0051] The operation unit 160 also has buttons that can be used for purposes other than switching between security modes, such as an emergency call button that can be operated when the user is attacked by an intruder or feels something is wrong with their body, and a cancel operation button that can be used to cancel an abnormality if the user accidentally causes one.

[0052] The control unit 110 is composed of a processor, memory, etc., and controls the operation of the security device. Functionally, it implements a mode storage means 112, a monitoring and control information storage means 114, an intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116, a mode control means 118, etc. The mode storage means 112 stores each security mode along with its identification information, and stores information about the currently set security mode, for example, as mode identification information. The monitoring and control information storage means 114 stores the installation area and address codes of various sensors, and stores the correspondence between security modes and various sensors in a monitoring state. When an intrusion monitoring sensor detects an intrusion, the intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116 performs processes such as determining an abnormality and outputting an abnormality signal or determining and outputting an alarm sound based on the current security mode stored in the mode storage means 112 and the content stored in the monitoring and control information storage means 114. The mode control means 118 sets (switches) the security mode based on a mode switching operation by the user via the operation unit 160 and the smartphone 200. When the security mode is changed, the mode control means 118 stores the switched-to security mode in the mode storage means 112 as the current security mode.

[0053] Although not shown, the main device 101 also stores group setting information regarding multiple smartphones 200 and the above-mentioned authentication cards that are paired with the security device 100 and grouped, as well as the identification information of each user (user name, user ID, etc.).

[0054] [Security mode type] Here, we will explain the types of security modes that the security device 100 has. In this embodiment, the security device 100 has the following security modes: away security mode (unmanned monitoring mode), at-home security mode (manned monitoring mode), partial set mode, and alert cancellation (at-home) mode.

[0055] The monitoring and emergency notification by the fire sensor 12 are performed regardless of the security mode. Any abnormality caused by these is reported by a different alarm sound. On the other hand, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 differs depending on the security mode.

[0056] The out-of-home alert mode is a mode that is set when all users of the building to be guarded leave the building and it becomes unattended (goes out). In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed by all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the building to be guarded.

[0057] The in-home security mode is a mode used when there is a user (person) in the security area and it is desired to monitor for intrusions from outside, and is particularly used when the user is sleeping. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the perimeter area of ​​the building, such as windows, front doors, and gardens, out of all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10.

[0058] The partial set mode is a mode used when monitoring only a portion of a security target, for example, when the user is present only on the first floor of a building that is the monitoring area and the second floor needs to be monitored. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 that are present in the portion of the security target. The partial set mode can exist as one form of the in-home security mode.

[0059] The disarm mode is used when the user is at home with the windows open, etc. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is not performed.

[0060] [Smartphone configuration] 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the smartphone 200. As shown in the diagram, the smartphone 200 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 22, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 23, an input / output interface 25, and a bus 24 connecting these elements to one another.

[0061] The CPU 21 accesses the RAM 23 and other memory as needed, and performs various arithmetic processing while comprehensively controlling each block of the smartphone 200. The ROM 22 is a non-volatile memory that permanently stores firmware such as the OS, programs, and various parameters to be executed by the CPU 21. The RAM 23 is used as a working area for the CPU 21, and temporarily stores the OS, various applications currently being executed, and various data currently being processed.

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

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

[0064] The operation reception unit 27 is, for example, a touch panel, a button, a key, or another input device. When the operation reception unit 27 is a touch panel, the touch panel can be integrated with the display unit 26.

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

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

[0067] The communication unit 29 is a module for wireless communication such as the LTE, BLE, or Wi-Fi, and is responsible for communication processing between the security device 100 and the center server 400 via a mobile network, a short-range wireless communication network, and the Internet. Among the communication unit 29, the wireless communication module such as BLE or Wi-Fi is responsible for communication between the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300.

[0068] Communication unit 29 also functions as the location acquisition means for acquiring location information of smartphone 200. To acquire the location information, a positioning method using, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) or a mobile phone base station is used. Alternatively, for example, using the short-range wireless communication or specified low-power wireless communication with security device 100 in the monitored area (inside the residence), it may be determined that smartphone 200 is in the monitored area if it is within the communication range of security device 100, and that smartphone 200 is outside the monitored area if it is outside the communication range. Furthermore, multiple positioning means such as GPS and short-range wireless communication may be combined as necessary to detect the location of smartphone 200 more accurately.

[0069] Although not shown, the basic hardware configuration of the wearable terminal 300 is similar to that of the smartphone 200.

[0070] The state of the security mode currently set in the monitored area is notified from security device 100 to a security application on smartphone 200 each time the security mode is switched in security device 100, and is stored by the security application as the latest security mode state. Alternatively, the security mode state may be stored in center server 400, and the security application may obtain it from center server 400 when it detects that the user has left or returned home. Furthermore, the security mode information may be stored in association with information about the operator who switched the security mode.

[0071] [Security system in operation] Next, the operation of the security system configured as described above will be described. The operation is performed by the cooperation of hardware such as CPU 21 and communication unit 29 of smartphone 200 and software (security application) stored in storage unit 28. For convenience, in the following description, the security application or CPU 21 of smartphone 200 will be the subject of operation.

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

[0073] 4, when a user inputs an operation to switch the security mode (step 41), the CPU of the wearable terminal 300 transmits a security mode switching request to the smartphone 200 (step 42). The security mode switching request includes mode identification information that identifies the security mode after switching.

[0074] As a prerequisite for inputting the switching operation, as described above, the wearable terminal 300 enters a locked state when the sensor or the like detects that the wearer is wearing the wearable terminal 300, and the wearable terminal 300 becomes operable when the user performs a predetermined unlocking operation. After that, as long as the wearable terminal 300 remains in this state, the user's identity is authenticated and the wearable terminal 300 can be operated without the need for another unlocking operation. In other words, the security mode switching request is transmitted when the wearable terminal 300 is detected as being worn by the user and a predetermined authentication process is executed.

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

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

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

[0078] Next, when the CPU 21 of the smartphone 200 receives the security mode switching completion notification, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the smartphone 200 has been paired with the wearable terminal 300 (step 46).

[0079] If it is determined that pairing has been completed (Yes in step 46), the CPU 21 transmits the security mode switching completion notification to the wearable terminal 300 as a push notification (step 46). That is, the CPU 21 transmits the security mode switching completion notification to the wearable terminal 300 and causes it to be displayed, on the condition that the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 are paired.

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

[0081] As described above, the display of the push notification screen 31 on the wearable terminal 300 is premised on the wearable terminal 300 being worn by an authenticated user, and the push notification screen 31 is not displayed when removal of the wearable terminal 300 is detected. This prevents sensitive information from being displayed and viewed by a third party when the wearable terminal 300 is not worn by the user.

[0082] Furthermore, even if wearing of the wearable terminal 300 is detected, if user authentication has not been successful (including when the wearable terminal 300 is worn by a user other than the user), the push notification screen 31 is not displayed. This prevents sensitive information from being displayed when a third party is wearing the wearable terminal 300 and the contents of the sensitive information from being viewed by the third party.

[0083] Before transmitting the security mode switching completion notification to the wearable terminal 300, the CPU 21 may inquire again of the wearable terminal 300 whether wearing of the wearable terminal 300 has been detected and whether user authentication has been completed.

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

[0085] This makes it possible to prevent sensitive security information, such as the security being released or the target person going out, from being seen by a third party. Note that the CPU 21 does not necessarily have to display all security mode switching completion notifications as confidential, but may display confidential when the security mode after switching is a specific security mode (for example, a release mode, in which some or all of the security is released), and may not display confidential when the security mode is any other security mode.

[0086] The smartphone 200 stores the message contents of each of the push notification screens including sensitive information as shown in Figure 5(A) above and the push notification screen not including sensitive information as shown in Figure 5(B) above (notifying only the fact of mode switching) for each security mode (mode identification information) after switching, for example as a table, and displays a message corresponding to the mode identification information included in the security mode switching request on the push notification screen.

[0087] While the figure shows an example of a push notification in the case of a security mode switching operation, other examples include when a user changes the security set time and receives a security set time change completion notification from the security device 100, the smartphone 200 displays a confidential push notification on the display 26 stating simply that the security time has been changed, stating "The security time has been changed." On the other hand, the wearable terminal 300 displays a push notification without concealing sensitive information such as the changed security set time and the name of the user who performed the change, such as "The set time has been changed to 11 o'clock" or "Taro changed the set time to 11 o'clock."

[0088] Furthermore, when the security device 100 detects an abnormality in the monitored area, the security device 100 may transmit an abnormality notification to the smartphone 200. When the security device 100 receives the abnormality notification, the smartphone 200 displays a confidential push notification on the display unit 26, stating "Trouble has occurred," simply notifying the user that an abnormality has occurred. On the other hand, the wearable device 300 displays sensitive information such as the type of abnormality and its location (facility) in the push notification, without any confidentiality, such as "A fire, equipment trouble, or intrusion has occurred."

[0089] Furthermore, the security device 100 may notify other users' smartphones 200 of the return / departure of family members or housemates, based on changes in the location information of the smartphone 200 (movement inside or outside the monitored area). When the smartphone 200 receives the return / departure notification, the smartphone 200 displays a confidential push notification on the display unit 26, such as "There has been movement in the family," simply notifying the fact that there has been movement in the family. On the other hand, the wearable terminal 300 displays, without any confidentiality, sensitive information such as the name of the family member who has gone out / returned and whether they have gone out or returned, such as "Taro has gone out (returned home)," as a push notification.

[0090] If CPU 21 determines that the signal received from security device 100 is a signal other than the security mode switching completion notification, it also displays the notification content without concealment on smartphone 200. Notification information other than the security mode switching completion notification transmitted from security device 100 is information that does not correspond to personal information of the user or security information of the security area, such as notices (surveys, crime prevention information for the surrounding area, news, etc.).

[0091] That is, the smartphone 200 displays a notification indicating the type of the received sensitive information without notifying the content of the sensitive information, and the wearable terminal 300 displays a notification indicating the content of the received sensitive information.

[0092] [summary] As described above, according to this embodiment, the security system displays a push notification screen that excludes sensitive information related to the security of the monitored area on smartphones 200 whose screens are likely to be viewed by third parties, while displaying a push notification screen that includes sensitive information on wearable devices 300 whose screens are unlikely to be viewed by third parties, thereby ensuring the security of the notification content to users while preventing a decrease in user convenience.

[0093] [Variations] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

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

[0095] The information processing device may also be a control device in a control system that controls home facilities and electrical appliances. In this case, the control device notifies the smartphone 200 of the resident of the home when the facility or electronic device is operated or a problem is detected. When this notification is received, the smartphone 200 displays a push notification on the display unit 26 in a concealed manner, for example, "Facility has been operated," simply notifying the user that the facility has been operated. Meanwhile, the wearable device 300 displays the name of the operated facility or electrical appliance in the push notification without concealment, for example, "The electric lock has been unlocked" or "The air conditioner has been operated."

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

[0097] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been shown in which confidential display is also performed for abnormality occurrence information, but if the notification information is highly urgent information such as abnormality occurrence information or notification that the monitored person has fallen (fallen and is not moving), it is necessary to notify the user as soon as possible, so as an exception, the information may also be displayed on the smartphone 200 without confidentiality.

[0098] Furthermore, only when the notification information is highly urgent and the wearable terminal 300 and the smartphone 200 are not paired, the smartphone 200 may display the information without concealment.

[0099] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been shown in which the contents of the message to be displayed on the push notification screen in the confidential display process and the non-confidential display process are stored in a table. Alternatively, the security mode switching completion notification sent from the center server 400 or the security device 100 may include message information regarding the contents of the notification message to be displayed on the lock screen of the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300.

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

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

[0102] In the above embodiment, the security device 100 monitors for intrusions into the monitored area. However, at least some of the functions of the security device 100 may be held by the center server 400 (e.g., cloud). In one example, the center server 400 has a mode storage means 112, a monitoring control information storage means 114, and a mode control means 118, and performs a security mode setting process for the monitored area based on a mode switching operation performed on the smartphone 200 or the security device 100, and may also perform intrusion monitoring based on the detection results of the various sensors 10 or 12, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
