Furthermore, the detection means 111A detects the movement of the user's line of sight or the operation on the user's information as an operation. In this case, when presenting the information to be updated at any time to the user, the update is controlled according to whether the user is looking at the information or performing an operation on the information. , It is possible to help the user understand the content of the information and improve the convenience.

Furthermore, the updating means 111B refers to the operation history storage means 3 that stores the history of the operation detected by the detecting means 111A, and is not currently the target of the operation, but is the target of the operation until a predetermined time ago. Postpone the update. The predetermined time can be set arbitrarily. The setting may be performed by the manufacturer that manufactures and sells the information processing device 1, or may be performed by the user. The operation history storage means 3 may be provided outside the information processing device 1 or may be provided inside.

In this case, for example, if the user has been browsing the information until a predetermined time (although it was the target of the operation), but cannot browse the information due to various reasons, he / she tries to browse the information again after that. When the line of sight is directed to the output means 2, the update of the information is postponed, so that the same information as before the predetermined time can be browsed again. It should be noted that the update of information may be postponed only when the user has been the target of the operation for a predetermined time (regardless of s time, continuous or discontinuous) or more until a predetermined time (t time) before. That is, the target of the operation is t hours before, but if the time is less than s hours, the information may be updated. As a result, the update can be postponed only for the information that is the target of the operation (information that is carefully browsed), and the information that is not the target of the operation (information that is glanced at) is updated. , The convenience of the user can be improved.

Next, a specific example corresponding to the above-described embodiment will be described.

[3. Operation example of navigation device NV]
Next, an operation example of the navigation device NV will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. It is assumed that the line-of-sight detection calibration and the like by the line-of-sight detection camera 227 have been completed. Further, the control unit 211 detects the line of sight of the user, stores the movement history of the line of sight in the storage device 212, and stores the operation history in the storage device 212 when the operation by the user is performed.

First, the control unit 211 acquires information (time information, exchange information, or SNS posting information) (step S11). Next, the control unit 211 specifies an update portion (time display area 401, exchange rate display area 402, or posted information display area 403) to be updated based on the information acquired in the process of step S11 (step S12). For example, if the acquired information is time information, the time display area 401 is specified as an update part, and if the acquired information is SNS posting information, the posting information display area 403 is specified as an update part.

Next, the control unit 211 determines whether or not the information acquired in the process of step S11 is information that does not require update delay (step S13). In this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the time information is information that does not require update delay, while the exchange rate information and SNS posting information are not information that does not require update delay (that is, information that requires update delay). Yes). When the control unit 211 determines that the acquired information is information (time information) that does not require update delay (step S13: YES), the update specified in the process of step S12 based on the acquired information (time information). The information of the portion (time display area 401) is updated (step S21), and the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when the control unit 211 determines that the acquired information is not information that does not require update delay (that is, when it is determined that it is exchange information or SNS posting information) (step S13: NO), then it is used. Acquire the current line-of-sight information and operation information of the person (step S14).

Next, the control unit 211 determines whether or not the user's line of sight is directed to the updated portion specified in the process of step S12, based on the line-of-sight information acquired in the process of step S14 (step S15). At this time, when the control unit 211 determines that the user's line of sight is directed to the update portion (step S15: YES), the control unit 211 uses the information acquired in step S11 to move to the update portion specified by the process of step S12. The update of the displayed information is postponed (step S22), and the process proceeds to step S11. As a result, even if new information is acquired for the updated portion that the user is looking at, the information of the updated portion is not updated by the information, so that the user's understanding of the content of the information is deepened. On the other hand, when the control unit 211 determines that the line of sight of the user is not directed to the update portion (step S15: NO), then the operation of the user is performed based on the operation information acquired in the process of step S14. It is determined whether or not the target is the update portion specified in the process of step S12 (step S16). At this time, for example, when the information acquired in the process of step S11 is the SNS posting information and the user is performing the scroll operation on the posting information display area 403, it is determined as "YES".

When the control unit 211 determines that the operation target of the user is the update portion specified in the process of step S12 (step S16: YES), the control unit 211 identifies it by the process of step S12 based on the information acquired in step S11. The update of the information displayed in the update portion is postponed (step S22), and the process proceeds to step S11. As a result, even if new information is acquired for the updated portion operated by the user, the information of the updated portion is not updated by the information, so that the user's understanding of the content of the information is deepened. On the other hand, when the control unit 211 determines that the current operation target of the user is not the update portion specified in the process of step S12 (step S16: NO), then the user's operation history information and line-of-sight movement Acquire history information, current position information, and surrounding environment information (step S17). Specifically, the control unit 211 acquires the operation history information and the line-of-sight movement history information of the user from the storage device 212, and acquires the latitude, longitude, and altitude data output by the GPS receiving unit 225 as the current position information. The surrounding environment information is acquired by analyzing the image taken outside the vehicle output by the vehicle outside camera 228. The surrounding environment information is information indicating whether or not the current surrounding environment is in a high-risk situation, and the control unit 211 is based on the captured image output by the outside camera 228, and is based on the weather outside the vehicle and the road. Calculate and acquire based on the situation. For example, if it is heavy rain, the road currently being driven is congested, or the road currently being driven is a very narrow road, the surrounding environment information indicating that the situation is high is acquired. Will be done. The control unit 211 transmits the current position of the own vehicle to the server device that holds information indicating the weather, road conditions, etc. for each position via the network, and corresponds to the current position from the server device. The information may be acquired and the surrounding environment information may be calculated based on the information. Further, the control unit 211 transmits the current position of the own vehicle to the server device that calculates the risk level information indicating the risk level of the position for each position via the network, and surrounds the risk level information from the server device. It may be acquired as environmental information.

Next, in the control unit 211, based on the user's operation history information and line-of-sight movement history information acquired in the process of step S17, the updated portion specified in the process of step S12 is the target of the operation within a predetermined time from the present. (Step S18), it is determined whether or not the update portion has become or the line of sight is directed. For example, within 30 seconds from the present, it is determined whether or not the update portion is the target of the operation or the line of sight is directed. When the control unit 221 determines that the update portion is the target of the operation or the line of sight is directed within a predetermined time (step S18: YES), the processing of step S12 based on the information acquired in step S11. The update of the information displayed in the update portion specified by the above is postponed (step S22), and the process proceeds to the process of step S11. As a result, even if new information is acquired for the updated part that the user was looking at until a predetermined time ago or was the target of the operation, the information of the updated part is not updated by the information, so that the user When you look at the information to view it again, you can view the same information as before. On the other hand, when the control unit 211 determines that the update portion is not the target of the operation or the updated portion to which the line of sight is directed within a predetermined time (step S18: NO), then the present acquired in the process of step S17. Based on the position information and the information indicating the hiyari hat point stored in the storage device 212, it is determined whether or not the current position is the hiyari hat point (step S19).

When the control unit 211 determines that the current position is the near hat point (step S19: YES), the control unit 211 updates the information displayed in the update portion specified by the process of step S12 based on the information acquired in step S11. The process is postponed (step S22), and the process proceeds to step S11. As a result, when the current position is the hiyari hat point, even if new information is acquired, the information in the updated part is not updated by the information, so that the user (driver) can concentrate on driving. Improves safety. On the other hand, when the control unit 211 determines that the current position is not the near-hat point (step S19: NO), then the surrounding environment has a high degree of danger based on the surrounding environment information acquired in the process of step S17. It is determined whether or not the situation is present (step S20).

When the control unit 211 determines that the surrounding environment is in a high-risk situation (step S20: YES), the control unit 211 is displayed in the update portion specified by the process of step S12 based on the information acquired in step S11. The update of the information is postponed (step S22), and the process proceeds to step S11. As a result, when the risk of the surrounding environment is high, even if new information is acquired, the information of the updated part is not updated by the information, so that the user (driver) can concentrate on driving. Improves safety. On the other hand, when the control unit 211 determines that the surrounding environment is not in a high-risk situation (step S20: NO), the control unit 211 uses the information (exchange information or SNS posting information) acquired in the process of step S11 to obtain step S12. The information of the update portion (exchange display area 402 or posted information display area 403) specified in the process of is updated (step S21), and the process proceeds to the process of step S11.

As described above, the control unit 211 (an example of the "detection means" and the "update means") of the navigation device NV can update the information output to the display 214c (an example of the "output means"). The operation used by the user is detected, and the update of information is suppressed based on the operation.

Therefore, according to the navigation device NV according to the present embodiment, when the information to be updated at any time is presented to the user, the update of the information is suppressed according to the situation of the user, so that the information of the user can be obtained. It can help understanding the content and improve convenience.

Further, the information acquired in the process of step S11 is the exchange information and the SNS posting information (an example of "first type information") for which the update of the information is postponed according to the operation used by the user, and the information used by the user. It can be distinguished from the time information (an example of "second type information") that updates the information regardless of the operation, and when the control unit 211 identifies that the information is exchange information or SNS posting information ( In step S13: NO), while the update of information is postponed according to the operation used by the user (step S22), when the information is identified as time information (step S13: YES), the user is using it. Information is updated regardless of the operation (step S21).

Therefore, if the information is exchange information or SNS posting information, the update is postponed depending on the operation used by the user, so that the information is updated even though it is the target of the operation used by the user. It can be prevented from being stored. On the other hand, if it is time information, it is updated regardless of the operation used by the user, so that the information to be updated is updated, so that the convenience of the user is not impaired.

Further, the control unit 211 recognizes an update portion (an example of an “output position”) in the display 214c that updates with the information acquired in the process of step S11 (step S12), and outputs the user's operation to the update portion. If the operation is for the information to be performed, the update of the information is postponed. Therefore, when the user's action is the action for the information output to the update part, the update is postponed to help the user understand the content of the information output to the update part and improve the convenience. Can be done.

Furthermore, the control unit 211 detects the movement of the line of sight of the user or the operation of the information output by the display 214c of the user as the operation of the user. Therefore, when presenting information that is updated from time to time to the user, whether the user is looking at the information output by the display 214c or is performing an operation on the information output by the display 214c. Correspondingly, by controlling the update, it is possible to help the user understand the content of the information output on the display 214c and improve the convenience.

Furthermore, the control unit 211 refers to a storage device 212 (an example of "operation history storage means") that stores the detected operation history (operation history information, line-of-sight movement history information) of the user, and is currently a user. However, the update of the information output to the display 214c, which was the target of the user's operation until a predetermined time ago, is postponed. Therefore, for example, if the user has been browsing the information until a predetermined time (although it was the target of the operation), but cannot browse it due to various reasons, he / she looks at the information to browse the information again. Since the update of the information is postponed when the information is turned, the same information as before the predetermined time can be viewed. It should be noted that the update of information may be postponed when the user has been the target of the operation for a predetermined time (regardless of s time, continuous or discontinuous) or more until a predetermined time (t time) before. That is, the target of the operation is t hours before, but if the time is less than s hours, the information may be updated. As a result, the update can be postponed only for the information that is the target of the operation (information that is carefully browsed), and the information that is not the target of the operation (information that is glanced at) is updated. , The convenience of the user can be improved.

[4.3. Modification 3]
In the above embodiment, in the process of step S19, it is determined whether or not the current position is the near-hat point, but it may be determined whether or not the current position is close to the near-hat point. As a result, when the current position is close to the hiyari hat point or when the current position is the hiyari hat point, the update is postponed, the user (driver) can concentrate on driving, and the safety is improved. ..

[4.4. Modification 4]
In the above embodiment, it is not determined whether or not the user is a driver or a passenger, but the control unit 211 uses the navigation device NV from the captured image output by the line-of-sight detection camera 227. It is determined whether or not the driver or the passenger is (here, the line of sight or the operation is being performed), and if the user is the passenger, step S11. After the process of step S12, the process proceeds to the process of step S21, while the process shown in FIG. 4 (that is, the process of suspending the update of information depending on the situation) is performed only when the user is the driver. You may do it.

[4.5. Modification 5]
In the above embodiment, after the update is postponed in the process of step S22, the process proceeds to step S11 and the next information is acquired. Therefore, the update is not performed by the information acquired in the latest process of step S11. Although the information will be discarded, the information acquired in the process of step S11 is stocked in the storage device 212 and the process of step S21 is performed in order to ensure that the information acquired in the process of step S11 is updated. When executing, the information in stock may be used for updating (FIFO (First In First Out)) in order from the oldest information.

[4.6. Modification 6]
Although the above embodiment has described the case where the information processing device is the navigation device NV, it can be applied to any device that outputs information. For example, it can be applied to a PC (personal computer), a notebook PC, a smartphone, a tablet, or the like. For example, when applied to a smartphone, the user's line of sight is detected (the in-camera (camera mounted on the liquid crystal display device side) can be used as the line-of-sight detection camera), and the user posts on SNS. While the article is being browsed, the posted article is not updated, but is updated when the user is not browsing. In addition, articles that have been viewed within the specified time are not updated even if the line of sight is lost, so that, for example, even if the line of sight is removed when getting on and off the train, the article is updated when trying to view it again. You can read the same article without.
