DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] An information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a permission unit that permits a terminal device associated with a user to receive delivery of mobile object information including information about a mobile object, the mobile object information including first information and second information different from the first information. The permission unit permits the terminal device to receive delivery of the first information from a first time point related to the time the user boarded the mobile object to a second time point related to the time the user dismounted the mobile object, and permits the terminal device to receive delivery of the second information from a third time point before the first time point to the first time point and from the second time point to a fourth time point after the second time point. The first information preferably includes a detailed location of the mobile object, and the second information preferably does not include the detailed location of the mobile object. The second information preferably includes information indicating the area in which the mobile object is located. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to switch the mobile object information to be delivered to the terminal device associated with the user depending on whether the user is boarding the mobile object. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to distribute information for which privacy protection is required only to the terminal device associated with the user riding on the mobile object, for example. As a result, in this embodiment, it is possible to distribute information about the mobile object while protecting privacy.

[0015] An information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a permission unit that permits a terminal device associated with a user to receive delivery of mobile object information, including information about a mobile object. The mobile object information includes third information and fourth information different from the third information. The permission unit permits the terminal device to receive delivery of the third information from a first time point related to the time the user boards the mobile object to a second time point related to the time the user dismounts the mobile object, and permits the terminal device to receive delivery of the fourth information from a third time point before the first time point to a fourth time point after the second time point. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to switch the number of types of mobile object information to be delivered to a terminal device associated with the user depending on whether the user is boarding a mobile object. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to distribute information for which privacy protection is required only to terminal devices associated with users who are boarding a mobile object. As a result, this embodiment makes it possible to distribute information about mobile objects while protecting privacy.

[0016] The third information may preferably include video or audio of the inside of the vehicle, thereby enabling the user of the terminal device to check the state of the inside of the vehicle.

[0017] The fourth information may preferably include information relating to the location of the mobile unit, thereby enabling the user of the terminal device to confirm the location of the mobile unit.

[0018] The mobile object information is preferably distributed in real time, so that the user of the terminal device can obtain the mobile object information in real time.

[0019] Furthermore, an information processing method according to one embodiment of the present invention is an information processing method executed by a computer, and includes an authorization step of authorizing a terminal device associated with a user to receive delivery of mobile object information including information about a mobile object, the mobile object information including first information and second information. In the authorization step, the terminal device is authorized to receive delivery of the first information from a first time point related to the time the user boarded the mobile object to a second time point related to the time the user dismounted the mobile object, and the terminal device is authorized to receive delivery of the second information from a third time point before the first time point to the first time point and from the second time point to a fourth time point after the second time point. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to switch the mobile object information delivered to a terminal device associated with the user depending on whether the user is boarding a mobile object. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to deliver information for which privacy protection is required only to terminal devices associated with users boarding a mobile object. As a result, this embodiment makes it possible to deliver information about mobile objects while protecting privacy.

[0020] An information processing method according to one embodiment of the present invention is an information processing method executed by a computer, and includes an authorization step of authorizing a terminal device associated with a user to receive delivery of mobile object information including information about a mobile object, the mobile object information including third information and fourth information. In the authorization step, the terminal device is authorized to receive delivery of the third information from a first time point related to the time the user boarded the mobile object to a second time point related to the time the user dismounted the mobile object, and the terminal device is authorized to receive delivery of the fourth information from a third time point before the first time point to a fourth time point after the second time point. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to change the number of types of mobile object information to be delivered to a terminal device associated with the user depending on whether the user is boarding a mobile object. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to deliver information for which privacy protection is required only to terminal devices associated with users who are boarding a mobile object. As a result, this embodiment makes it possible to deliver information about mobile objects while protecting privacy.

[0021] An information processing program according to an embodiment of the present invention causes a computer to execute the above-described information processing method, and therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to distribute information about a moving object while protecting privacy using a computer.

[0022] Furthermore, a computer-readable storage medium according to an embodiment of the present invention stores the information processing program, which allows the information processing program to be distributed as a standalone program in addition to being incorporated into a device, and makes it easy to perform version upgrades, etc. [Example]

[0023] <Information processing device 100> 1 is a diagram showing an information processing device 100 according to this embodiment. The information processing device 100 has 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.

[0024] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a mobile object information distribution system including an information processing device 100. As shown in Fig. 2(A), 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, or as shown in Fig. 2(B), the information processing device 100 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.

[0025] 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 equipment 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(B). The terminal device 200 is, for example, a smartphone or a personal computer.

[0026] 3 is a diagram showing the control unit 110. The control unit 110 includes a riding status confirmation unit 111, a permission unit 112, and a mobile object information distribution processing unit 113.

[0027] The riding status confirmation unit 111 confirms the riding status of the moving body M. For example, the riding status confirmation unit 111 confirms the time when the user got on the moving body M and the time when the user got off the moving body M. The moving body M is a moving body that multiple users ride, and the riding status confirmation unit 111 confirms the time when the user got on the moving body M and the time when the user got off the moving body M for each of the multiple users, and stores the time in the memory unit 120.

[0028] The permission unit 112 permits the terminal device 200 associated with the user to receive delivery of mobile body information including information about the mobile body M. Each of the multiple terminal devices 200 is associated with one or more users of the multiple users. For example, the storage unit 120 stores a table listing users who plan to ride the mobile body M and the terminal devices 200 associated with the users.

[0029] The mobile object M is, for example, a shuttle bus for a facility such as a kindergarten, a nursery school, or a daycare center. In this case, the users who plan to ride the mobile object M are the children of the kindergarten or nursery school or the facility users of the daycare center who plan to ride the shuttle bus, and the terminal devices associated with the users are terminal devices (for example, smartphones or personal computers) associated with each of the children or facility users who plan to ride the shuttle bus. The terminal devices associated with each of the children or facility users who plan to ride the shuttle bus are, for example, terminal devices used by the parents of the children or facility users.

[0030] The mobile object information includes first information and second information different from the first information. In this embodiment, the permission unit 112 permits the terminal device 200 to receive delivery of the first information from a first time point related to the time when a user associated with the terminal device 200 got on the mobile object M to a second time point related to the time when the user got off the mobile object, and permits the terminal device 200 to receive delivery of the second information from a third time point before the first time point to the first time point and from the second time point to a fourth time point after the second time point (see FIG. 4).

[0031] Here, the first point in time may be the time when the user gets on the moving body M, or may be a predetermined time before the time when the user gets on the moving body M, or may be a predetermined time after the time when the user gets on the moving body M. The second point in time may be the time when the user gets off the moving body M, or may be a predetermined time before the time when the user gets off the moving body M, or may be a predetermined time after the time when the user gets off the moving body M.

[0032] The third point in time is, for example, a point in time related to any of the following: the time when the device that acquires mobile object information is powered on, the time when the engine switch of the mobile object is turned on, the time when the mobile object starts moving, the time when an instruction to start distribution is given, and the time when an instruction (e.g., a request to end distribution) is given from the terminal device. The fourth point in time is, for example, a point in time related to any of the following: the time when the device that acquires mobile object information is powered off, the time when the engine switch of the mobile object M is turned off, the time when the mobile object M stops moving, the time when an instruction to end distribution is given, and the time when an instruction (e.g., a request to end distribution) is given from the terminal device.

[0033] The first information preferably includes the detailed location of the moving body M (for example, the latitude and longitude and link where the moving body M is located), and the second information preferably does not include the detailed location of the moving body M. The moving body information is acquired, for example, by a device (for example, a GPS antenna) installed in the moving body M. When the information processing device 100 is an in-vehicle device installed in the moving body M, the information processing device 100 may acquire the moving body information from such a device, or may have its own device for acquiring the moving body information, such as a GPS antenna. When the information processing device 100 is a device installed outside the moving body M that communicates with the in-vehicle device 300 installed in the moving body M, the in-vehicle device 300 may acquire the moving body information from such a device, or may have its own device for acquiring the moving body information, such as a GPS antenna.

[0034] The mobile object information distribution processing unit 113 distributes the mobile object information to the terminal device 200. At this time, for example, when the information processing device 100 is an in-vehicle device installed in the mobile object M, the mobile object information distribution processing unit 113 distributes the mobile object information to the terminal device 200 by using communication with the terminal device 200 via the communication unit 130. Also, 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 mobile object information distribution processing unit 113 may acquire the mobile object information from the in-vehicle device 300 by using communication with the in-vehicle device 300 via the communication unit 130, as shown in FIG. 6(A), and distribute the acquired mobile object information to the terminal device 200 by using communication with the terminal device 200 via the communication unit 130. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6(B), the mobile object information may be transmitted from the in-vehicle device 300 to the terminal device 200 by using communication with the in-vehicle device 300 via the communication unit 130.

[0035] At this time, in this embodiment, when the terminal device 200 is permitted to receive the first information, the mobile information distribution processing unit 113 distributes the first information of the mobile information to the terminal device 200, and when the terminal device 200 is permitted to receive the second information, the mobile information distribution processing unit 113 distributes the second information of the mobile information to the terminal device 200.

[0036] For this reason, in this embodiment, it is possible to switch the mobile object information to be distributed to a terminal device associated with a user depending on whether the user is riding in the mobile object. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to distribute information for which privacy protection should be taken into consideration only to terminal devices associated with a user riding in the mobile object. As a result, in this embodiment, it is possible to distribute information about the mobile object while protecting privacy.

[0037] For example, the second information may include information indicating the area in which the moving object is located, instead of the detailed location of the moving object. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a display on the terminal device 200. FIG. 5(A) is a display example on the terminal device 200 that has received the first information, and FIGS. 5(B), 5(C), and 5(D) are display examples on the terminal device 200 that has received the second information. In the example shown in FIG. 5(A), an arrow A points to the location of the moving object M, and this display allows the user of the terminal device 200 to know the detailed location of the moving object M. On the other hand, in the examples shown in FIGS. 5(B), 5(C), and 5(D), the location of the moving object M is indicated by a circle C and an area S, and this display allows the user of the terminal device 200 to know the area in which the moving object is located, as a rough location of the moving object M. Note that the black circles shown in FIGS. 5(A), 5(B), 5(C), and 5(D) are used to indicate the location of the moving object 200, and are not displayed on the terminal device 200.

[0038] In this case, the second information may include a circle C of radius R that includes the position of the moving body M, as shown in Figures 5(B) and 5(C), as information indicating the area where the moving body M is located. In this case, the position of the moving body M may be located at the center of the circle C, as shown in Figure 5(B), or the position of the moving body M may be located at a position shifted from the center of the circle C, as shown in Figure 5(C). Furthermore, the second information may include an area S that is shaped other than a circle and that includes the position of the moving body M, as shown in Figure 5(D), as information indicating the area where the moving body M is located.

[0039] <In-vehicle video and audio distribution> The mobile object information may include third information and fourth information different from the third information. The third information may include, for example, information inside the mobile object (video or audio inside the mobile object), and the fourth information may include, for example, information about the location of the mobile object. The mobile object information may be acquired, for example, by devices (e.g., a camera, a microphone, 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 mobile object information from these devices, or may have its own devices for acquiring the mobile object information, such as a camera, a microphone, or 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 mobile object information from these devices, or may have its own devices for acquiring the mobile object information, such as a camera, a microphone, or a GPS antenna.

[0040] At this time, the permission unit 112 may, for example, permit the terminal device 200 associated with the user to receive delivery of third information from a first time point related to the time the user boarded the mobile body M to a second time point related to the time the user disembarked from the mobile body M, and may permit the terminal device 200 associated with the user to receive delivery of fourth information from a third time point before the first time point to a fourth time point after the second time point (see Figure 7).

[0041] At this time, the mobile information distribution processing unit 113 distributes the third information and the fourth information to the terminal device 200 when the terminal device 200 is permitted to receive the third information and the fourth information (from the first time point to the second time point), and distributes the fourth information to the terminal device 200 when the terminal device 200 is not permitted to receive the third information but is permitted to receive the fourth information (from the third time point to the fourth time point).

[0042] In this way, in this embodiment, it is possible to switch the number of types of mobile body information to be distributed to a terminal device associated with a user depending on whether the user is riding on a mobile body or not. Therefore, for example, it is possible to distribute information for which privacy protection is required only to terminal devices associated with a user riding on a mobile body.

[0043] <Checking the boarding status of moving object M> The riding status confirmation unit 111 may confirm the riding status of the mobile body M by authenticating a user who has boarded the mobile body M or a user who has disembarked from the mobile body M, for example, based on an input from the user. In this case, for example, if the information processing device 111 is an in-vehicle device installed in the mobile body M, the information processing device 100 may have an input device (for example, a card reader, a camera, a switch, a keyboard, a touch panel, or a microphone) for receiving an input from the user, and the input from the user may be received by this input device. Also, for example, if the information processing device 100 is a device installed outside the mobile body M that communicates with an in-vehicle device 300 installed in the mobile body M, the input from the user may be received by the in-vehicle device 300. In this case, the riding status confirmation unit 111 may receive information indicating that an input from the user has been received or that the user has been authenticated from the in-vehicle device 300, using communication with the in-vehicle device 300 via the communication unit 130.

[0044] At this time, the riding status confirmation unit 111 may store in the storage unit 120, for each user scheduled to use the moving body M, the status of whether or not the user is riding on the moving body M. Then, the riding status confirmation unit 111 may store, for example, the time when an input is received from a user who is not riding on the moving body M (or the time when the user is authenticated) in the storage unit 120 as the time when the user got on, and change the status of the user. Furthermore, the riding status confirmation unit 111 may store, for example, the time when an input is received from a user who is riding on the moving body M (or the time when the user is authenticated) in the storage unit 120 as the time when the user got off, and change the status of the user.

[0045] The input by the user is, for example, the input of the user's ID. The input of the user's ID may be input by the user operating keys, or may be reading the user's ID stored on the user's ID card using a card reader.

[0046] The user input may also be an input of a facial image of the user. The input of the facial image of the user may be a photograph of the user's face taken with a camera, or may be a photograph of a card with the user's facial photo printed on it with a camera. The photograph of the user's face taken with a camera may be a photograph of each user getting on or off the vehicle, or may be a photograph of the user present inside the moving body M.

[0047] <Mobile information distribution> The mobile object information distribution processing unit 113 distributes the first information and the second information in real time when the mobile object information is acquired.

[0048] In this case, for example, when the permission unit 112 receives a request for distribution of mobile information from the terminal device 200, it checks whether the time when the request was received is within the first information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (the period when the terminal device 200 is permitted to receive the first information) or whether the time when the request was received is within the second information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (the period when the terminal device 200 is permitted to receive the second information), and if the time when the request was received is within the first distribution permission period, it permits the terminal device 200 to receive the first information (i.e., starts distribution of the first information by the mobile information distribution processing unit 113), and if the time when the request was received is within the second distribution permission period, it permits the terminal device 200 to receive the second information (i.e., starts distribution of the second information by the mobile information distribution processing unit 113).

[0049] Here, as described above, the first information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 is the period from a first time point related to the time when the user associated with the terminal device 200 got on the mobile body M to a second time point related to the time when the user got off the mobile body M. Also, the second information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 is a period consisting of a period from a third time point before the first time point related to the time when the user associated with the terminal device 200 got on the mobile body M to the first time point, and a period from a second time point related to the time when the user associated with the terminal device 200 got off the mobile body M to a fourth time point after the second time point.

[0050] Furthermore, the mobile object information distribution processing unit 113 also distributes the third information and the fourth information in real time when the mobile object information is acquired.

[0051] In this case, when the permission unit 112 receives a request for distribution of mobile information from the terminal device 200, it checks whether the time at which the request was received is within the fourth information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (the period during which the terminal device 200 is permitted to receive the fourth information distribution), and if the time at which the request was received is within the fourth distribution permission period, it further checks whether the time at which the request was received is within the third information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (the period during which the terminal device 200 is permitted to receive the third information distribution), and if the time at which the request was received is within the third distribution permission period, it permits the terminal device 200 to receive the third information and the fourth information (i.e., starts distribution of the third information and the fourth information by the mobile information distribution processing unit 113), and if the time at which the request was received is not within the third distribution permission period, it permits the terminal device 200 to receive the fourth information (i.e., starts distribution of the fourth information by the mobile information distribution processing unit 113).

[0052] Here, as described above, the third information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 is the period from a first time point related to the time when the user associated with the terminal device 200 gets on the mobile body M to a second time point related to the time when the user gets off the mobile body M. Furthermore, the fourth information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 is the period from a third time point before the first time point to a fourth time point after the second time point.

[0053] After permitting the distribution of mobile body information to the terminal device 200, the permission unit 112 may revoke the permission for the distribution of mobile body information to the terminal device 200 when it receives a request from the terminal device 200 to terminate the distribution of mobile body information (i.e., terminate the distribution of mobile body information to the terminal device 200 by the mobile body information distribution processing unit 113).

[0054] After permitting the distribution of the first information to the terminal device 200, the permission unit 112 may, for example, revoke the permission for the distribution of the first information to the terminal device 200 when the first information distribution permission period for the terminal device 200 ends (i.e., terminate the distribution of the first information to the terminal device 200 by the mobile information distribution processing unit 113), and permit the terminal device 200 to receive the distribution of the second information.

[0055] After permitting the distribution of the second information to the terminal device 200, the permission unit 112 may, for example, revoke the permission for the distribution of the second information to the terminal device 200 when the second information distribution permission period for the terminal device 200 has expired (i.e., terminate the distribution of the second information to the terminal device 200 by the mobile information distribution processing unit 113), and permit the terminal device 200 to receive the distribution of the first information if it is within the first information distribution permission period.

[0056] After permitting the distribution of the third information and the fourth information to the terminal device 200, the permission unit 112 may revoke the permission for distribution of the third information to the terminal device 200 when the third information distribution permission period for the terminal device 200 ends (i.e., terminate the distribution of the third information to the terminal device 200 by the mobile information distribution processing unit 113).

[0057] After permitting the distribution of the fourth information to the terminal device 200, the permission unit 112 may revoke the permission for the distribution of the fourth information to the terminal device 200 when the fourth information distribution permission period for the terminal device 200 ends (i.e., terminate the distribution of the fourth information to the terminal device 200 by the mobile information distribution processing unit 113).

[0058] In addition, the third information and the fourth information may be stored in the memory unit 120, and the mobile information distribution processing unit 113 may distribute the third information and the fourth information stored in the memory unit 120.

[0059] In this case, when the permission unit 112 receives a request for distribution of mobile information from the terminal device 200, it is preferable to permit the terminal device 200 to receive distribution of the third information within the third distribution permission period of the terminal device 200, and to permit the terminal device 200 to receive distribution of the fourth information within the fourth distribution permission period of the terminal device 200.

[0060] <Processing Operation in Information Processing Device 100> FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of processing operations executed in the information processing device 100 so that the mobile object information distribution processing unit 113 distributes the first information and the second information in real time.

[0061] 8 is executed when a request for distribution of mobile object information is received from the terminal device 200. If the time when the request is received from the terminal device 200 is within the first information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S801, YES), the permission unit 112 permits the terminal device 200 to receive distribution of the first information (step S802). If the time when the request is received from the terminal device 200 is not within the first information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S801, NO) but is within the second information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S803, YES), the permission unit 112 permits the terminal device 200 to receive distribution of the second information (step S804). If the time when the request was received from the terminal device 200 is not within the first information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S801, NO), and if the time when the request was received from the terminal device 200 is not within the first information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S803, NO), the processing is terminated.

[0062] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of processing operations executed in the information processing device 100 so that the mobile object information distribution processing unit 113 distributes the third information and the fourth information in real time.

[0063] 9 is executed when a request for distribution of mobile object information is received from the terminal device 200. If the time when the request was received from the terminal device 200 is within the fourth information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S901, YES), it is confirmed whether the time when the request was received from the terminal device 200 is within the third information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S902). If the time when the request was received from the terminal device 200 is not within the fourth information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S901, NO), the processing is terminated. If the time when the request was received from the terminal device 200 is within the third information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S902, YES), the terminal device 200 is permitted to receive distribution of the third information and the fourth information (step S903). If the time when the request is received from the terminal device 200 is not within the third information distribution permission period of the terminal device 200 (step S902, NO), the terminal device 200 is permitted to receive the fourth information distribution (step S904).

[0064] 10 shows an example of processing operations executed by the information processing device 100 in order for the mobile information distribution processing unit 113 to distribute the stored third information and fourth information. The processing operations shown in FIG. 10 are executed when a request for distribution of the third information and the fourth information is received from the terminal device 200. The permission unit 112 permits the terminal device 200 to receive distribution of the third information (fourth information) during the third distribution permission period (fourth distribution permission period) of the terminal device 200 (step S1001).

[0065] The present invention has been described above in terms of preferred embodiments thereof. While 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.
