(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the configuration of the first embodiment will be described.
FIG. 1 is a main block diagram of hardware according to the first embodiment.

In FIG. 1, a billing system 1 includes a portable terminal 10 and a billing server 20, which are connected by a wireless line and a wired line.
The mobile terminal 10 includes a display unit 11, a walking detection unit 12, a gaze detection unit 13, a communication unit 14, a position detection unit 15, a map storage unit 16, a data storage unit 17, and a control unit 18. For example, a mobile phone. The mobile terminal 10 is installed with a Web browser, e-mail client software, and the like.

  The display unit 11 includes a liquid crystal display (not shown) and the like, and displays an execution screen of software installed in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 18. Further, the control unit 18 can turn off the power of the display unit 11 even while the software is being executed. Therefore, the control unit 18 grasps whether or not an execution screen is displayed on the display unit.

  The walking detection unit 12 includes a triaxial acceleration sensor (not shown) and can detect vertical acceleration regardless of the attitude of the mobile terminal 10. It is possible to detect that the user of the mobile terminal 10 (hereinafter referred to as “user”) is walking by a known method of comparing the output in the vertical direction with a predetermined pattern. Here, traveling is also included in walking.

  Furthermore, every time it detects that one step has been taken, the walking detection unit 12 increments the number of steps recorded in the RAM of the control unit 18 described later (for example, increments the variable walk). Since this step count can be reset from another program, the other program can know the number of steps walked from the arbitrary timing of resetting to the present by referring to the information of the step count recorded in the RAM. it can.

  The gaze detection unit 13 includes a triaxial acceleration sensor (not shown) and an illuminometer (not shown) installed on the same surface as the display unit 11, and estimates whether the user is watching the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10. The gaze detection unit 13 determines that the user is gazing at the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 when all of the following three conditions are satisfied.

  First, it is a condition that some data is displayed on the display unit 11. This is because if there is no display on the display unit, there is no reason for the user to watch the display unit. Since the control unit 18 controls the display on the display unit, the gaze detection unit 13 can make this determination by making an inquiry to the control unit 18.

  Second, it is a condition that the display unit 11 is upward or substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel of the user. This is because when viewing the display unit 11 while walking, it is common to face the display unit 11 upward or face the face. The second condition can be determined by detecting the angle of the display unit 11 using the angle sensor and detecting the user's traveling direction using the acceleration sensor. However, the angle of the display unit 11 can be detected from the direction of gravity measured by the triaxial acceleration sensor using the triaxial acceleration sensor. Further, the traveling direction can be detected by evaluating the instantaneous value of the output of the triaxial acceleration sensor.

  Third, it is a condition that ambient brightness is a certain level or more. This is to prevent malfunction (erroneous charging) when the display unit 11 is displayed in the bag. Ambient brightness can be measured with a luminometer.

The communication unit 14 exchanges data with the accounting server.
The position detection unit 15 includes a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, and detects the position of the mobile terminal 10 and the current date and time by receiving radio waves from a plurality of GPS satellites.

  The map storage unit 16 stores a map indicating whether or not it is a public space, and when combined with the output of the position detection unit 15, the control unit 18 can determine whether or not the position of the mobile terminal 10 is a public space. A public space is a space where an unspecified large number of people can freely come and go without any particular restrictions, such as roads, parks, stations, hospitals, commercial facilities, and the like.

The data storage unit 17 includes a flash memory (not shown) and the like, and stores a user ID and an amount charged per time for watching the mobile terminal while walking. Here, the user ID is a unique identifier for identifying a person who uses this system.
The control unit 18 includes a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM (not shown), and develops and executes a plurality of programs and the like stored in the ROM shown in the flowcharts described later on the RAM.

The billing server 20 is a server that includes a communication unit 21, a database 22, a billing unit 23, and a control unit 24.
The communication unit 21 transmits / receives data to / from the mobile terminal 10.
The database 22 stores data related to billing, and one record includes a user ID, date and time, position, and amount.

  The accounting unit 23 performs accounting processing for the user every time a new recording is made or every certain period (for example, one day or one month) based on the record in the database 22. Here, the billing includes not only the payment of the currency but also an alternative, for example, a point service point. The user has a contract with a billing system service company at the time of purchase of the mobile terminal or at an arbitrary timing, and in addition to issuing an invoice to the user, automatic debiting from the user's bank account can also be used. Alternatively, it is possible to make a contract to pay together with the usage fee of the mobile terminal 10. Furthermore, the user can point out the payee at the time of the contract, and can make a donation to a specific NPO or national treasury, for example.

  The control unit 24 includes a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM (not shown), and develops and executes a plurality of programs stored in the ROM shown in the flowcharts described later on the RAM.

  The operation of the first embodiment of the invention will be described below.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing processing of the charging program executed by the control unit 18 of the mobile terminal 10. The control unit 18 executes the program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 at regular time intervals (for example, every 30 seconds), but does not execute it when the previous processing is not finished. Unless otherwise specified in the following description, the execution subject of each step is the CPU of the control unit 18.

  In step S101, the control unit 18 resets the number of steps stored in the RAM (for example, a variable walk = 0), and proceeds to step S102. Therefore, the number of steps stored in the RAM represents the number of steps the user has walked after executing step S101. In step S <b> 102, the control unit 18 detects whether or not the user is walking using the walking detection unit 12, and proceeds to subsequent step 103. In step S103, the result of step S102 is determined. If the user is walking, the process proceeds to step S104. If the user is not walking, the flowchart of FIG. In step S104, it is detected whether the user is gazing at the display unit 11 using the gaze detection unit 13, and the process proceeds to step S105.

  In step S105, the detection result in step S104 is determined. If the user is gazing, the process proceeds to step S106, and if not gazing, the flowchart of FIG. In step S106, the position detection unit 15 is used to detect the position of the mobile terminal 10, and the process proceeds to step S107. In step S107, the control unit 18 refers to the position of the mobile terminal 10 calculated in step S106 and the map stored in the map storage unit 16, and determines whether the position of the mobile terminal 10 corresponds to a public space. To do. If it is a public space, the process proceeds to step S108. If it is not a public space, the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S108, the number of steps recorded in the RAM (for example, variable walk) is compared with the magnitude of the constant W indicating the limit of walking stored in the data storage unit 17, and if the former is large, the process proceeds to step S110. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S109. However, the constant W represents the maximum number of steps allowed to watch the mobile terminal while walking.

  In step S109, the control unit 18 displays a warning on the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10, and returns to step S102. The warning displayed at this time is, for example, the following. “You will be charged if you do n’t move forward within‘ W-walk ’steps.” However, 'W-walk' is obtained by subtracting the value of the number of steps (for example, variable walk) recorded in the RAM from the value of the constant W indicating the limit of walking stored in the data storage unit 17.

  In step S110, the control unit 18 transmits the user ID stored in the data storage unit 17 and the amount of charging per time, the position of the mobile terminal 10 detected in step S106 and the current date and time to the charging server, Proceed to step S111. In step S111, information on the total number of times and the total amount transmitted from the accounting server is received, and the flowchart of FIG.

The operation of the accounting server 20 corresponding to the flow of the mobile terminal 10 in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
The accounting server 20 always waits for communication, and when receiving communication from the mobile terminal 10, the control unit 24 executes the program shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S201, the control part 24 receives the data which the portable terminal 10 transmitted in step S110, and progresses to step S202. In step S202, the control unit 24 adds the data received in step S201 to the database 22. Then, using the database 22, the total number of times and the total amount in a predetermined period (for example, every month, closing at the end of the month) for the user ID included in the received data are totaled, and the process proceeds to step S 203. In step S203, the total number of times and the total amount collected in step S202 are transmitted to the mobile terminal 10, and the flowchart of FIG.

  As described above, the charging unit 23 may charge the corresponding user every time information related to charging is newly recorded in the database 22, or may charge the user all at regular intervals.

According to the first embodiment described above, the following operational effects are obtained.
(1) The billing system 1 is a billing system that includes a portable terminal 10 and a billing server 20, and the portable terminal 10 includes a walking detector 12 that detects that the owner of the portable terminal 10 is walking, A gaze detection unit 13 that detects that the owner of the terminal 10 is gazing at the mobile terminal 10, and a communication unit 14 that communicates with the accounting server 20. The charging server 20 includes a communication unit 21 that communicates with the mobile terminal 10, a database 22 that records data related to charging, and a charging unit 23 that charges the owner of the mobile terminal 10. The communication unit 14 detects that the walking detection unit 12 is walking the owner of the mobile terminal 10, and the gaze detection unit 13 is that the owner of the mobile terminal 10 is watching the mobile terminal 10. When detected, information related to the owner of the portable terminal 10 is transmitted to the billing server 20. The charging unit 23 charges the owner of the mobile terminal 10 with reference to the database 22 in which information related to the owner of the mobile terminal 10 received by the communication unit 21 is recorded.

  Therefore, since the holder of the portable terminal 10 does not pay attention to the display unit 11 while walking in order to avoid charging, the user can substantially regulate the watching of the display unit 11 while walking. Although the billing process is not necessarily executed immediately, the billing process is performed within a certain period of time, so the display during walking indirectly from the medium / long-term viewpoint to the owner of the mobile terminal 10 The gaze of the part 11 will be regulated.

(2) The mobile terminal 10 includes a position detection unit 15 that detects the position of the mobile terminal 10 and a map storage unit 16 that stores map information including information related to the public space. The position detection unit 15 detects that the walking detection unit 12 is walking the owner of the mobile terminal 10, and the gaze detection unit 13 is watching the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 by the owner of the mobile terminal 10. When it is detected that the mobile terminal 10 is in operation, the position of the mobile terminal 10 is detected. When the control unit 18 determines that the position of the mobile terminal 10 is in the public space based on the map information stored in the map storage unit 16, the communication unit 14 transmits information regarding the owner of the mobile terminal 10 to the billing server 20.
Therefore, the user is conscious of whether or not the current position is a public space, and does not watch the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 while walking in the public space.

(3) The control unit 18 of the mobile terminal 10 displays a warning on the display unit 11 when the walking detection unit 12 detects the user's walking and the gaze detection unit 13 detects gaze on the display unit 11 of the user. . Therefore, the user can stop walking or gazing at the display unit 11 while seeing the warning on the display unit 11, and can ensure the safety of the user himself or those around him.

(Modification 1)
In the first embodiment, the walking detector 12 includes a triaxial acceleration sensor, but may include a GPS receiver. In this case, when the position of the mobile terminal 10 is detected at regular time intervals (for example, every second) and there is a change from the previously detected position, it can be determined that the user is walking.
According to the first modification, since the absolute position of the mobile terminal 10 can be measured, it is possible to directly detect that the user is moving.

(Modification 2)
In the first embodiment, it is determined that the user is gazing at the mobile terminal 10 from the three points of display on the display unit 11, orientation of the display unit 11, and ambient brightness (step in FIG. 2). S104, S105), the user's line of sight may be detected by a known method as described below, and the determination may be made based on the direction and the number of seconds for stopping the line of sight. Alternatively, after determining that the user is gazing at the display unit 11 by the method described in the embodiment, the user's line of sight may be further detected, and the determination may be made based on the direction and the number of seconds for stopping the line of sight.

  First, the front of the display unit 11 is periodically photographed by a camera (not shown) provided on the same surface as the display unit 11, and a human face is detected from the image by a technique such as edge detection or pattern detection. Next, the gaze direction is determined from the positions of the black eyes and the outer corners of the detected human face image. Since the relative position of the camera and the display unit 11 is always constant and the distance between the camera and the face can be estimated from the size of the captured face, whether the user is viewing the display unit 11 from the distance and the direction (angle) of the line of sight You can determine whether or not. If the direction of the line of sight is maintained for several seconds, it is determined that the user is gazing at the display unit.

  According to the second modification, since the user's line of sight is directly detected, it is possible to prevent over-detection (determining that the user is gazing while not gazing at the display unit 11). Further, by storing the image when the line of sight is detected, it can be left as a specific record.

(Modification 3)
In the first embodiment, the charging conditions and the charging amount are fixed, but they may be changed according to the location detected by the position detection unit 15. The charging condition is not only the increase / decrease in the constant W indicating the walking limit, but also the charging condition may be the passage of time or the moving distance instead of the number of steps, or any one of them may be set to the predetermined limit. Exceeding may be a condition for charging.
For example, when the user is on a platform or stairs of a high-risk station, the time limit is added after decreasing the constant W indicating the limit of walking, and / or the billing amount is increased. When the user is in a park with a low risk level, the constant W indicating the limit of walking is increased and / or the charge amount is decreased.

  According to the third modification, the charging condition and the amount to be charged vary depending on the surrounding danger level. Therefore, the mobile terminal 10 is watched while walking in a dangerous place as compared with the case where the restriction is uniformly imposed regardless of the place. Motivation that does not.

(Modification 4)
In 1st Embodiment, although use of the portable terminal 10 was not prevented by a user's action, you may impose the use restriction of the portable terminal 10. For example, the control unit 18 of the mobile terminal 10 restricts the use of the mobile terminal 10 for a certain period of time instead of communication with the billing server 20 (step S110 in FIG. 2) or when communicating with the billing server 20. Or, if the number of billing exceeds a certain number, the use of the mobile terminal 10 may be forcibly restricted by detecting the walking by the walking detecting unit 12. Further, when it becomes a situation where the user should be charged after detecting that the user is in a dangerous place such as a station platform, the use of the mobile terminal 10 may be restricted regardless of the number of times of charging. Here, the restriction on the use of the mobile terminal 10 means, for example, disabling the display of the display unit 11.
According to the fourth modification, the user has no reason to continue to watch the display unit 11 due to the use restriction of the mobile terminal 10, so that the user can be forcibly removed from the display unit 11. Therefore, the user inevitably pays attention to the surrounding situation, and the safety of not only the user but also the surrounding people is improved. Thus, the use restriction of the mobile terminal 10 restricts the gaze of the display unit 11 while walking directly from the short-term viewpoint to the holder of the mobile terminal 10.

(Second Embodiment)
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
The second embodiment is characterized in that, when humans collide with each other, the person who has moved (the person who collided) is charged, and the person who has stopped (the person who has collided) is given the same amount. . Therefore, when the mobile terminal 10 detects a collision, the mobile terminal 10 transmits the data to the billing server, and when the billing server 20 receives data related to the collision from both of the clashes, the mobile terminal 10 determines the accountability of the two and charges.

  The configuration in the second embodiment is almost the same as the configuration in the first embodiment, and the block diagram of the mobile terminal 10 and the block diagram of the accounting server are the same as those in FIG. 1 described in the first embodiment. is there. However, the programs stored in the ROM of the control unit 18 of the portable terminal 10 and the ROM of the control unit 24 of the accounting server are different.

The operation of the second embodiment will be described below.
The program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4 is executed by the control unit 18 of the mobile terminal 10 in the second embodiment, instead of the program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 in the first embodiment. The program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4 is started at the same time when the mobile terminal 10 is started, and is started again as soon as it is finished. Unless otherwise specified in the following description, the execution subject of each step is the CPU of the control unit 18.

  In step S301, it is detected whether the user is walking using the walking detection unit 12, and is recorded in the ring buffer on the RAM, and the process proceeds to step S302. However, here, instead of detecting the walking, it may be determined whether or not the vehicle is in a stationary state based on whether or not the output of the acceleration sensor exceeds a certain level, and this may be recorded. In step S302, the gaze detection unit 13 detects gaze on the display unit 11, and records the presence or absence of gaze in a ring buffer on the RAM. In the subsequent step S303, it is determined whether or not there is a collision, that is, whether or not there is a large acceleration in the horizontal direction. If no collision is detected, the process returns to step S301, and if a collision is detected, the process proceeds to step S304. That is, the acceleration and the gaze on the display unit 11 are continuously recorded until a collision is detected, and both are recorded in the ring buffer. Therefore, when the collision is detected and the process proceeds to step S304, the acceleration up to a certain time before the collision and the presence / absence of gaze on the display unit 11 are recorded.

  In step S304, the date and time when the collision was detected is recorded. In subsequent step S305, the current position is detected by the position detector 15, and the process proceeds to step S306. In step S306, the user ID, the acceleration up to a certain time before the collision, the presence / absence of gaze on the display unit 11, the date and position at which the collision was detected are transmitted to the billing server 20 as the collision data. In a succeeding step S307, a response from the accounting server 20 is received, and the flowchart of FIG. 4 is ended.

  The program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is executed by the control unit 24 of the accounting server 20 in the second embodiment, instead of the program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 in the first embodiment. Unless otherwise specified in the following description, the execution subject of each step is the CPU of the control unit 24.

  In step S401, the control unit 24 receives the collision data (hereinafter referred to as “first collision data”) transmitted from the portable terminal 10 in step S306, and proceeds to step S402. At this time, only one of the collision parties has received the collision data, and the other collision data paired with the collision data (hereinafter referred to as “second collision data”) is attributed. Necessary for judgment.

  In step S402, an attempt is made to receive the second collision data. If the second collision data cannot be received, the process proceeds to step S403, and if received, the process proceeds to step S406. However, at this time, it is not confirmed whether the collision data is paired with the first collision data received in step S401, and this determination is made in the next step S406.

  In step S403, the time from the start of step S401 is evaluated, and it is determined whether a predetermined timeout time has elapsed. If the predetermined time-out period has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S404. If the predetermined time-out period has not elapsed, the process returns to step S402 and attempts to receive again.

  In step S404, the control unit 24 adds the data to the database 22 in order to charge the user ID included in the collision data received up to step S403 or step S410. Then, using the database 22, the total number of times and the total amount in a predetermined period (for example, every month, end of month) for the user ID included in the received data are totaled, and the process proceeds to step S <b> 405. In step S405, the total number of times and the total amount totaled in step S404 are transmitted to the mobile terminal 10, and the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S406, it is determined whether the date and position of the first collision data and the second collision data match. That is, it is determined whether both parties that transmitted the first collision data and the second collision data are the parties that have collided. If the position and time match, the process proceeds to step S407. If the position and time do not match, the process returns to step S402 and attempts to receive again.

  In step S407, referring to the records of the acceleration sensor outputs of the first collision data and the second collision data, it is determined whether or not the vehicle has moved before the collision. Here, it is not necessary to use the walking detector 12, and the determination is made based on whether the magnitude of the acceleration is equal to or greater than a certain magnitude. If it is determined that both have moved before the collision, the process proceeds to step S410. If only one of them has moved, the process proceeds to step S408.

  In step S408, the person who was moving before the collision (hereinafter referred to as “Class A”) is charged, and the person who has stopped before the collision (hereinafter referred to as “B”) is to be charged. Add to database and go to step S409. For example, you can use this for future payments, or if the charge is cash, receive it by transferring to your account, or if the charge is a point service point, receive it by transferring the point service to your account. be able to.

  In step S409, the following message is transmitted to Party A and Party B, and the flowchart of FIG. A message is sent to Party A that says "You are charged because you are responsible for a collision", and you send a message that "You have been charged the amount charged from the person who collided as an apology" .

  In step S410, the record of gaze on the display unit 11 of the first collision data and the second collision data is referred to, and the person who has been gazing at the display unit 11 before the collision is specified. This is because if a person who is watching the display unit 11 collides with a person who is not watching, it can be assumed that the person watching the display unit 11 is responsible for the collision. If both are watching the display unit 11 before the collision, both are responsible for the collision and the process proceeds to step S404 to charge both parties. If only one of them is watching the display unit 11 before the collision, the process proceeds to step S411.

  In step S411, the person who has been gazing at the display unit 11 before the collision (hereinafter referred to as “丙”) is charged, and the person who has not been gazing at the display unit 11 before the collision (hereinafter referred to as “Ding”). To the database), the process proceeds to step S409. In this case, in the explanation of the above step S409, “A” is read as “丙” and “O” is read as “Ding”.

According to the 2nd Embodiment of this invention mentioned above, there can exist the following effects.
The billing system 1 is a billing system that includes a portable terminal 10 and a billing server 20. The portable terminal 10 includes a walking detection unit 12 that detects that the owner of the portable terminal 10 is walking, A gaze detection unit 13 that detects that the owner is gazing at the mobile terminal 10, a communication unit 14 that communicates with the accounting server 20, and a collision detection process that detects that the owner of the mobile terminal 10 has collided (FIG. 4 step S303). The billing server 20 includes a communication unit 21 that communicates with the mobile terminal 10, a database 22 that records data related to billing, a billing unit 23 that charges the holder of the mobile terminal 10, and the responsibility to determine the responsibility of the collision. Judgment processing (step S407 and step S410 in FIG. 5) is provided. When the collision detection process (step S <b> 303 in FIG. 4) detects a collision, the communication unit 14 transmits the detection results of the walking detection unit 12 and the gaze detection unit 13 to the billing server 20. The charging unit 23 uses the detection results of the walking detection unit 12 and the gaze detection unit 13 received by the communication unit 21 from the plurality of portable terminals 10 in the responsibility determination process (steps S407 and S410 in FIG. 5). The person who is determined to be responsible is charged with reference to the database 22 that stores information related to the charging of the person determined to be responsible.
For this reason, in the second embodiment, when a person collides with a person while moving while gazing at the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10, the data is recorded in the database 22 without charge and charged. Unlike the first embodiment, since there is no prior warning and charging is performed, it is a stronger deterrent against moving while gazing at the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10.

(Modification 5)
In the second embodiment, in step S301 in FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the mobile terminal 10 is in a walking state or whether it is in a stationary state, but it is recorded in three stages: a stationary state, a walking state, and a running state. The result of evaluation may be recorded, or the output of the acceleration sensor may be recorded as it is. In this case, the control unit 24 of the billing server 20 may increase or decrease the billing amount according to the operating state of the colliding person and the operating state of the colliding person. For example, when a person in a stationary state without gazing at the display unit 11 and a person in a traveling state while gazing at the display unit 11, the charge amount is increased, and the traveling state without gazing at the display unit 11 is made. When a person collides with a person who is not in a stationary state while gazing at the display unit 11, the charge amount is reduced.
According to this modified example 5, since the billing amount increases when a collision occurs in the running state, it is possible to suppress a dangerous act from a financial aspect. On the other hand, when it is possible to determine that the responsibility is low, such as when it is difficult to avoid, by reducing the charge amount, the user's unfair feeling about the charge can be reduced.

  The first and second embodiments described above can be implemented in combination. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modified examples as long as the characteristics of the present invention are not impaired.
