Description

  The present disclosure relates to a control device, a control method, and a program.

  In recent years, various apparatuses have been provided with a communication function, and various apparatuses have been linked by direct communication between apparatuses or communication via a network. For example, the cooperating apparatuses may provide the user with various functions that cannot be realized by the individual apparatuses by cooperating while performing unique functions. Alternatively, the shared device may function as if the shared device is a device owned by the user by linking the device owned by the user with the shared device. In such a case, the cooperating devices include devices whose main role is to influence the functions of other devices by providing the other devices with information that can be used by themselves. Also good. There are many technologies related to device cooperation, and one of them is described in Patent Document 1.

JP-A-2015-35168

  For example, in order to link two devices, a procedure for pairing the devices is executed. The pairing procedure includes, for example, setting up communication between devices and having each device authenticate each other. After that, various information necessary for each device to operate in cooperation can be exchanged. Such a procedure may be executed by the user giving an explicit operation on, for example, any of the devices or other devices that manage the devices. Further, for example, when each device is close (more specifically, when the communication distance by Bluetooth (registered trademark) or the like is reached), each device is set to automatically proceed with the pairing procedure. It is also possible to set.

  However, for example, the technique described in Patent Document 1 does not necessarily provide sufficient means for the user to recognize such a pairing state. For example, when the pairing procedure is executed by giving an explicit operation by the user, in order to confirm whether the pairing thus established is valid at a later time, There was a need to perform the operation. Further, even when pairing is automatically established, a separate operation is required to confirm whether or not pairing is established between devices desired by the user.

  Therefore, the present disclosure proposes a new and improved control device, control method, and program that allow a user to easily check a pairing state between devices by a simple operation.

  According to the present disclosure, when a physical stimulus is detected by a sensor included in at least one of the first device and the second device, at least one of the first device and the second device. There is provided a control device including an output control unit that changes the display of the pairing state of the first device and the second device by the output device included in the output device.

  In addition, according to the present disclosure, when a physical stimulus is detected by a sensor included in at least one of the first device and the second device, the processor performs the first device or the second device. There is provided a control method including changing display of a pairing state of the first device and the second device by an output device included in at least one of the devices.

  Further, according to the present disclosure, when a physical stimulus is detected by a sensor included in at least one of the first device and the second device, at least the first device or the second device. There is provided a program for causing a computer to realize a function of changing the display of the pairing state of the first device and the second device by an output device included in any one of them.

  As described above, according to the present disclosure, a user can easily check a pairing state between apparatuses by a simple operation.

  Note that the above effects are not necessarily limited, and any of the effects shown in the present specification, or other effects that can be grasped from the present specification, together with or in place of the above effects. May be played.

(1. Overview of Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram for conceptually explaining an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated, in the present embodiment, the pen 100 (pen-type terminal) and the wearable device 200 (more specifically, for example, the ring-type terminal 200a and the wristware 200b. In the following description, the ring-type is used as an example. The terminal 200a may be shown, but the same configuration may be paired with the listware 200b and other wearable devices. The pen 100 may have functions such as computation and communication, and may be capable of executing processing while communicating with a network or another terminal device independently, or used together with the receiver 150. It may be. In the following description, only the pen 100 may be illustrated for the sake of simplicity, but in such a case as well, the process described as being executed in the pen 100 is performed when the receiver 150 is present. , Executed with either the pen 100 or the receiver 150.

  Here, the pairing between the pen 100 and the wearable device 200 is provided by, for example, these devices communicating with each other via Bluetooth (registered trademark) or NFC (Near Field Communication), and further authenticating each other device. Associating one with the other in the service to be performed. At the stage where pairing is established, for example, the pen 100 can specify a user who is writing using the pen 100 based on the user ID registered in the wearable device 200. Wearable device 200 can specify pen 100 as another device used by the user.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for describing an example of a system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the illustrated example, the system 10 includes a pen 100 and a ring-type terminal 200a, a mobile terminal 250, a server 300, a tablet 400a, and an electronic blackboard 400b. In the figure, communication that is enabled before pairing between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a is indicated by a broken line, and communication that is newly enabled after pairing is indicated by a solid line.

  In the state before pairing, the pen 100 communicates with the server 300. The server 300 communicates with, for example, the pen 100, the tablet 400a, and the electronic blackboard 400b via, for example, Wi-Fi, and provides services to these devices. More specifically, for example, these devices may be installed in a school classroom or a conference room and shared by a plurality of users. In this case, the pen 100 is prepared for writing on the electronic blackboard 400b. The tablet 400a is set with the pen 100, and is assumed to be used by a common user. On the other hand, the ring-type terminal 200a communicates with the mobile terminal 250 via, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark) separately from the above devices. The ring-type terminal 200a is used, for example, to output a notification such as an incoming message to the mobile terminal 250 by vibration or to transmit a sensing result such as acceleration or biological information to the mobile terminal 250.

  In the system 10, when the pairing is established between the pen 100 and the ring terminal 200a, for example, the pen 100 is recognized via the ring terminal 200a, so that the pen 100 is, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark). It becomes possible to communicate directly with the mobile terminal 250. Also, the address of the mobile terminal 250 on the network is notified to the server 300 via the ring terminal 200a and the pen 100, and conversely, the mobile terminal 250 is notified of the address of the server 300 on the network via the pen 100 and the ring terminal 200a. By notifying the address, the mobile terminal 250 and the server 300 can communicate with each other. At this time, users of the mobile terminal 250 and the ring-type terminal 200a are recognized as users of the pen 100. Accordingly, the server 300 can provide a service to the tablet 400a and the electronic blackboard 400b after recognizing who the user of the pen 100 is. Further, for example, communication between the tablet 400a or the electronic blackboard 400b and the mobile terminal 250 may be performed by notifying the address of the tablet 400a or the electronic blackboard 400b on the network from the server 300.

  As described above, pairing is established between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a, and various devices including the mobile terminal 250 and the server 300 can communicate with each other, thereby providing various services. It becomes possible. For example, when writing on the electronic blackboard 400b using the pen 100, it is possible to identify the user who wrote (the user of the ring terminal 200a and the mobile terminal 250). In this case, the handwriting can be displayed on the electronic blackboard 400b in a state where the pen 100 is color-coded for each user who has written, for example, without preparing as many pens 100 as the number of users. In addition, a notification of an incoming message to the mobile terminal 250 may be output via the tablet 400a. For example, a message or the like can be confirmed on the shared tablet 400a without taking out the mobile terminal 250 in a classroom or conference room where the tablet 400a and the electronic blackboard 400b are installed.

  Thus, for example, pairing the pen 100 and the ring terminal 200a in the system 10 can bring various benefits to the user. However, for that purpose, it is necessary to execute a procedure for pairing the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a. For example, as a procedure for setting up communication between devices using Bluetooth (registered trademark) or NFC (Near Field Communication), a code displayed on one device is input on the other device or displayed on the other device. A device that performs pairing may be selected from devices that can be paired. According to such a procedure, communication can be reliably set up between desired devices, but at least one device needs to output codes and device information by a display. For example, in the system 10, neither the pen 100 nor the ring terminal 200a has a display capable of displaying codes and device information. Although it is possible for the ring-type terminal 200a to send information related to pairing to the mobile terminal 250 and display the code and device information on the mobile terminal 250, it is troublesome to take out the mobile terminal 250 for each pairing. .

  Therefore, for example, when the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a approach each other, communication between devices using Bluetooth (registered trademark) or NFC is automatically set up. Further, authentication and service between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a are performed. The above association may be completed automatically. However, in this case, it is difficult for the user of the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a to understand that the pairing has been established. Therefore, it is not only possible to confirm whether or not pairing has been established between desired devices, but also when pairing has been established between unintended devices (for example, a plurality of pens 100 are prepared. If the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a that are different from the hand held by the user are paired, the user cannot know that. May occur.

  In this embodiment, for example, when a physical stimulus (such as shaking, hitting, or standing) is detected by a sensor included in the pen 100, the pen 100 and the ring are connected to the pen 100 by the LED lamp included in the pen 100 or the ring terminal 200a. The pairing state with the type terminal 200a is displayed. Such control for display may be executed by the pen 100 (or the receiver 150), for example, or may be executed by the ring terminal 200a or the mobile terminal 250. Hereinafter, some examples of the display of the pairing state in the present embodiment will be further described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a first example of display of a pairing state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the illustrated example, when a physical stimulus such as shaking, hitting, or standing is given to the pen 100, the ring type terminal 200a depends on the pairing state between the pen 100 and the ring type terminal 200a. LED 202 lights up. The lighting of the LED 202 is controlled by, for example, the pen 100 or a receiver 150 used together with the pen 100 as described later. At this time, for example, by making the temporal pattern of the lighting of the LED 202 correspond to the temporal pattern of the physical stimulus to the pen 100, the lighting of the LED 202 in the ring terminal 200a corresponds to the stimulus to the pen 100. It can be clearly shown that it has occurred.

  Further, the state of pairing between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a may be expressed stepwise by the lighting color of the LED 202 or the like. More specifically, for example, when communication between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a is set up, but authentication and service association are not performed, the LED 202 is lit yellow, and the pen 100 and the ring 100 When pairing with the type terminal 200a is completed, the LED 202 may be lit in green. For example, in such a case, the user may be able to change the pairing state by further applying a physical stimulus such as shaking, hitting, or standing on the pen 100. More specifically, when the user shakes the pen 100 and the LED 202 lights in yellow in the above example, the user further shakes the pen 100 to complete the pairing of the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a. May be possible.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a second example of display of the pairing state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the illustrated example, when a physical stimulus such as shaking, hitting, or standing is given to the pen 100, the pen 100 is set according to the pairing state between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a. LED 106 and LED 202 of ring type terminal 200a are lit. As described later, lighting of the LED 106 and the LED 202 is controlled by, for example, the pen 100, the receiver 150 used with the pen 100, the ring type terminal 200a, or the mobile terminal 250 used with the ring type terminal 200a. At this time, for example, by making the lighting patterns of the LED 106 and the LED 202 correspond (for example, synchronizing), it can be clearly shown that the lighting of the LED 106 and the LED 202 is generated in response to the stimulus to the pen 100. Also in this example, as in the example of FIG. 3, the pairing state is expressed stepwise by the lighting color of the LED 106 and the LED 202, or the physical state of the pairing is given by additionally giving a physical stimulus. It may be possible to change.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a third example of a pairing state display according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The illustrated example is similar to the example of FIG. 4 described above, and pairing between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a when a physical stimulus such as shaking, hitting, or standing is given to the pen 100. The LED 106 of the pen 100 and the LED 202 of the ring-type terminal 200a are turned on according to the state. As described later, lighting of the LED 106 and the LED 202 is controlled by, for example, the pen 100, the receiver 150 used with the pen 100, the ring type terminal 200a, or the mobile terminal 250 used with the ring type terminal 200a. In the illustrated example, the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a are arranged so that the LED 106 and the LED 202 are close to each other, so that the lighting is synchronized when the LED 106 and the LED 202 are lit in a pattern corresponding to each other. In addition, various variations are possible, such as controlling each lighting pattern so that light flows between the LED 106 and the LED 202, for example. In this example, as in the example of FIG. 3, the pairing state is expressed stepwise by the lighting color of the LED 106 and the LED 202, or the pairing state is changed by additionally giving a physical stimulus. It may be possible.

(2. Functional configuration)
FIG. 6 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a functional configuration example of a system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the illustrated example, the system 10 includes a pen 100, a receiver 150, a ring terminal 200a, and a mobile terminal 250. As described above with reference to FIG. 2, the system 10 may further include other components.

  The pen 100 includes a writing processing unit 102, a sensor 104, and a communication unit 108. The pen 100 may further include an LED 106. The writing processing unit 102 executes various processes related to writing with the pen 100. For example, the writing processing unit 102 includes a switch for determining whether or not the pen 100 is in contact with a writing surface such as paper or an electronic blackboard 400b. The writing processing unit 102 includes a positioning device for specifying the position of the pen 100 on the writing surface. The positioning device may include, for example, a scanner that reads a unique pattern for each position on the writing surface, or may include a communication device such as an infrared ray that detects a relative positional relationship with the receiver 150. In addition, about the structure of the writing process part 102, it is not restricted to said example, Various structures known as a structure of what is called an electronic pen are employable. Data relating to writing output from the writing processing unit 102 is transmitted to the receiver 150 via the communication unit 108.

  The sensor 104 includes, for example, an acceleration sensor, and detects a physical stimulus such as shaking, hitting, or standing with respect to the pen 100. In another example, the sensor 104 may detect the physical stimulus as described above by using an angular velocity sensor or a combination of an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor. A sensing result by the sensor 104 is transmitted to the receiver 150 via the communication unit 108. The LED 106 is provided as necessary (for example, in the case of the examples of FIGS. 4 and 5 described above), and lights according to a control signal from the receiver 150 received via the communication unit 108. The communication unit 108 includes, for example, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication device, and exchanges various kinds of information as described above with the receiver 150. The communication unit 108 also communicates with the communication unit 206 of the ring type terminal 200a by, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark).

  The receiver 150 includes a communication unit 152, a writing processing unit 154, a pairing processing unit 156, and an output control unit 158. The communication unit 152 includes, for example, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication device, and exchanges various types of information with the pen 100. The writing processing unit 154, the pairing processing unit 156, and the output control unit 158 are realized by a processor such as a CPU operating according to a program, for example. The writing processing unit 154 performs various processes for writing according to the information provided from the writing processing unit 102 of the pen 100, more specifically, for example, processing such as specifying a movement locus on the writing of the pen 100. To do. The configuration of the writing processing unit 154 of the receiver 150 is not limited to such an example, and various configurations known as the configuration of a so-called electronic pen receiver can be employed.

  The pairing processing unit 156 changes the state to pairing between the pen 100 and another device (for example, the ring-type terminal 200a). More specifically, the pairing processing unit 156 starts pairing between the pen 100 and another device or ends pairing. At this time, the pairing processing unit 156 may change the pairing state for each stage such as communication setup, authentication, and association in a service. Here, in addition, as in the example described above with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, for example, the pairing processing unit 156 performs pairing according to the physical stimulus detected by the sensor 104 of the pen 100. The state of the ring may be changed. The pairing processing unit 156 registers a pairing state between the pen 100 and another device in a memory or storage (not shown).

  When a physical stimulus is detected by the sensor 104 of the pen 100, the output control unit 158 determines the ring according to the pairing state between the pen 100 and the ring terminal 200a set by the pairing processing unit 156. A control signal for turning on the LED 202 of the type terminal 200a is generated. The control signal is transmitted from the communication unit 152 of the receiver 150 to the communication unit 206 of the ring terminal 200a via the communication unit 108 of the pen 100. Furthermore, when the pen 100 has the LED 106, the output control unit 158 also generates a control signal for lighting the LED 106. In this case, for example, when a physical stimulus is detected by the sensor 104 of the pen 100, the output control unit 158 performs the pairing state between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a set by the pairing processing unit 156. The control signal may be generated according to the above. For example, the lighting of the LED 106 in the examples of FIGS. 4 and 5 can be realized by such processing of the output control unit 158. When the pairing processing unit 156 changes the pairing state according to the physical stimulus detected by the sensor 104, the output control unit 158 changes the LED 202 of the ring terminal 200a according to the changed pairing state. A control signal for turning on the light may be generated. In addition to the above processing, the output control unit 158 may generate a control signal for turning on the LED 106 when, for example, some processing result is obtained by the writing processing unit 154.

  The receiver 150 including a processor such as a CPU can be realized by, for example, a hardware configuration of an information processing apparatus described later. When the pen 100 has an information processing function and does not require the receiver 150, the pen 100 can be realized by including a hardware configuration of an information processing apparatus to be described later. When the pen 100 is not accompanied by the receiver 150, the functional configuration of the receiver 150 illustrated in FIG. 6 is included in the pen 100. Alternatively, a part of the functional configuration of the receiver 150 may be included in the server 300 that communicates with the pen 100 or the receiver 150.

  Ring-type terminal 200 a includes LED 202 and communication unit 206. Ring-type terminal 200a may further include a sensor 204. The LED 202 is turned on according to a control signal from the mobile terminal 250 received via the communication unit 206. Further, the LED 202 is lit according to a control signal received from the pen 100 via the communication unit 206. As described above, this control signal can be transmitted from the receiver 150 via the pen 100. Alternatively, the communication unit 206 may transfer the control signal received from the pen 100 to the mobile terminal 250, and the output control unit 256 of the mobile terminal 250 may newly generate a control signal for the LED 202 based on the control signal. . The sensor 204 includes, for example, an acceleration sensor and a biological sensor, and detects biological information such as acceleration applied to the ring-type terminal 200a and a user's pulse and sweating. A sensing result by the sensor 204 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 250 via the communication unit 206. The communication unit 206 includes, for example, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication device, and exchanges various types of information as described above with the mobile terminal 250. The communication unit 206 also communicates with the communication unit 108 of the pen 100 by, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark).

  Here, as necessary, for example, an acceleration sensor included in the sensor 204 may be used to detect a physical stimulus such as shaking, hitting, or standing on the ring-type terminal 200a. In this case, as in the case of the pen 100 described above, the sensing result transmitted from the communication unit 206 to the mobile terminal 250 is output from the output control unit 256 according to the physical stimulus detected by the ring terminal 200a. In order to generate a control signal for turning on the LED 106 of the LED 100 and / or the LED 202 of the ring terminal 200a, or to change the pairing state of the pen 100 and the ring terminal 200a. Used. That is, for the part described as the configuration of the present embodiment, the function of the pen 100 and the function of the ring terminal 200a, and the function of the receiver 150 and the function of the mobile terminal 250 can be interchanged.

  Mobile terminal 250 includes a communication unit 252, a pairing processing unit 254, and an output control unit 256. The communication unit 252 includes, for example, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication device, and exchanges various types of information with the ring type terminal 200a. The pairing processing unit 254 and the output control unit 256 are realized by a processor such as a CPU operating according to a program, for example. The mobile terminal 250 can be various terminal devices such as a smartphone and a tablet. Since the functional configuration for realizing the normal function of such a terminal device is already well known, illustration and detailed description thereof are omitted.

  The pairing processing unit 254 executes processing related to pairing between the ring-type terminal 200a and another device (for example, the pen 100). More specifically, the pairing processing unit 254 starts pairing between the ring type terminal 200a and another device or ends pairing. The pairing processing unit 254 may change the pairing state for each stage such as communication setup, authentication, and association in a service. As will be described later, in the illustrated example, the functions of the receiver 150 and the mobile terminal 250 may be interchangeable, so that the pairing processing unit 254 detects the physical detected by the sensor 204 of the ring terminal 200a. It may be possible to change the pairing state of the ring-type terminal 200a and the pen 100 in response to the stimulus. The pairing processing unit 254 registers a pairing state between the ring type terminal 200a and another device in a memory or storage (not shown).

  The output control unit 256 generates a control signal for lighting the LED 202 of the ring type terminal 200a. The control signal is transmitted from the communication unit 252 of the mobile terminal 250 to the ring type terminal 200a. As described above, when the control signal received from the pen 100 by the communication unit 206 in the ring terminal 200a is transferred to the mobile terminal 250, the output control unit 256 is based on the control signal received by the communication unit 252. A control signal for the LED 202 is newly generated. In addition, as will be described later, in the illustrated example, the functions of the receiver 150 and the mobile terminal 250 can be interchanged, so that the output control unit 256 detects physical stimulation by the sensor 204 of the ring terminal 200a. In this case, a control signal for turning on the LED 106 of the pen 100 may be generated according to the pairing state between the ring terminal 200a and the pen 100 set by the pairing processing unit 254. In this case, the output control unit 256 may similarly generate a control signal for turning on the LED 204 of the ring type terminal 200a.

  Note that the mobile terminal 250 including a processor such as a CPU can be realized by, for example, a hardware configuration of an information processing apparatus described later. When the ring type terminal 200a has an information processing function and does not require the mobile terminal 250, the ring type terminal 200a can be realized by a hardware configuration of an information processing apparatus described later. When the ring terminal 200a does not require the mobile terminal 250, the functional configuration of the mobile terminal 250 illustrated in FIG. 6 is included in the ring terminal 200a. Alternatively, a part of the functional configuration of the mobile terminal 250 may be included in a server (which may be different from the server 300) that communicates with the ring terminal 200a or the mobile terminal 250.

(3. Processing flow)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing for changing the display of the pairing state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The illustrated process is executed by, for example, the output control unit 158 of the receiver 150 illustrated in FIG.

  In the illustrated example, the output control unit 158 determines whether a physical stimulus (shaking, hitting, standing, etc.) triggered by the sensor 104 of the pen 100 is detected (S101). Here, when a physical stimulus serving as a trigger is detected (YES), the subsequent processes of S103 to S107 are executed. In this case, first, the output control unit 158 refers to the pairing state between the pen 100 registered in the memory or storage by the pairing processing unit 156 and another device, and the device paired with the pen 100 is identified. It is determined whether or not there is (S103).

  If there is a paired device in the determination in S103 (YES), the output control unit 158 requests the pairing partner (the ring terminal 200a in the above example) to display the pairing status (S105). ). More specifically, the output control unit 158 generates a control signal for lighting the LED 202 of the ring-type terminal 200a in a pattern corresponding to the physical stimulus detected in S101, for example, and the communication unit 152 and the pen 100 to the ring terminal 200a. As an additional process, the output control unit 158 may display the pairing state even with the pen 100 (S107). More specifically, the output control unit 158 generates a control signal for lighting the LED 106 of the pen 100 in a pattern corresponding to the physical stimulus detected in S101, for example, and the pen control unit 158 transmits the pen signal via the communication unit 152. 100 may be transmitted.

  Through the processing described above, the user can easily confirm that pairing has been established between the pen 100 and another device (for example, the ring-type terminal 200a) by giving a physical stimulus to the pen 100. Can be recognized.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing for changing a pairing state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The illustrated processing is executed by, for example, the output control unit 158 and the pairing processing unit 156 of the receiver 150 illustrated in FIG.

  In the illustrated example, the output control unit 158 determines whether a physical stimulus (shaking, hitting, standing, etc.) triggered by the sensor 104 of the pen 100 is detected (S101). Here, when a physical stimulus serving as a trigger is detected (YES), the subsequent processes of S109 to S117 are executed. In this case, first, the output control unit 158 refers to the pairing state between the pen 100 registered in the memory or storage by the pairing processing unit 156 and another device, and there is a device that can be paired with the pen 100. It is determined whether or not (S109). Here, the pairable device may be, for example, a device in which communication between devices is set up but authentication and service association are not performed.

  In the determination of S109, if there is a device that can be paired (YES), the output control unit 158 displays an indication that pairing is possible to the partner that can be paired (ring type terminal 200a in the above example). A request is made (S111). More specifically, the output control unit 158 generates a control signal for lighting the LED 202 of the ring-type terminal 200a in a pattern corresponding to the physical stimulus detected in S101, for example, and the communication unit 152 and the pen 100 to the ring terminal 200a. As an additional process, the output control unit 158 may display that pairing is possible with the pen 100 (S113). More specifically, the output control unit 158 generates a control signal for lighting the LED 106 of the pen 100 in a pattern corresponding to the physical stimulus detected in S101, for example, and the pen control unit 158 transmits the pen signal via the communication unit 152. 100 may be transmitted.

  Further, after the display in S111 (and S113) described above, the pairing processing unit 156 determines whether a physical stimulus (shaking, hitting, standing up, etc.) triggered by the sensor 104 of the pen 100 is detected. It is determined (S115). The physical stimulus serving as the trigger here may be the same stimulus as that detected in S101 or may be a different stimulus (as an example of a different case, the pen 100 is hit once in S101). In S115, the pen 100 is tapped twice, etc.). When a trigger stimulus is detected (YES), the pairing processing unit 156 executes authentication and service registration processing between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a, and completes the pairing (S117). ). Thereafter, in order to indicate that pairing has been established, the output control unit 158 may execute a process for displaying the pairing state as in S105 (and S107) shown in FIG. .

(4. Summary about one embodiment)
In one embodiment of the present disclosure as described above, when a physical stimulus is detected by the sensor 104 included in the pen 100 in the receiver 150, the LED 106 included in the pen 100 and / or the ring terminal 200a. And / or the output control part 158 which changes the display of the pairing state of the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a by the LED 202 is mounted.

  In the example described above, when the physical stimulus is detected by the sensor 104, the output control unit 158 displays the pairing state by the LED 106 and / or the LED 202. This starts the display of the pairing state. This is an example of changing the display of the pairing state. Similarly, the output control unit 158 may detect when a physical stimulus is detected by the sensor 104 while the LED 106 and / or the LED 202 is lit as illustrated in FIGS. The display of the pairing state that has been continued until may be terminated. Further, by combining these, the output control unit 158 starts the pairing state display by the LED 106 and / or the LED 202 when the first physical stimulus is detected by the sensor 104, and starts the second physical stimulation. If a simple stimulus is detected, the display may be terminated.

  In the above example, the displayed pairing status is not only whether or not pairing is completed, but also in the middle of pairing, more specifically, for example, communication between devices is set up And a state in which authentication and service association are not performed. The output control unit 158 may display such a pairing state in stages. More specifically, the output control unit 158 may change the lighting pattern or color of the LED 106 / and / or the LED 202 according to the stage of the pairing state.

  In the present embodiment, additionally, in the receiver 150, when a physical stimulus is detected by the sensor 104 included in the pen 100, pairing that changes the pairing state of the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a is performed. A processing unit 156 is implemented. For example, when the pairing processing unit 156 executes the above processing on the assumption that the output control unit 158 displays the pairing state, the user can execute the intended pairing state change more reliably and easily. Can do. For example, when a physical stimulus to the pen 100 is detected after the device that can be paired is displayed by the output control unit 158 as in the example illustrated in FIG. 8, the pairing processing unit 156 It can be assumed that the stimulus indicates the user's intention to complete the pairing.

  In the above example, the change in the pairing state may include not only authentication after communication setup and association on the service but also communication setup itself. In this case, the pairing processing unit 156 may execute processing prior to the output control unit 158. More specifically, for example, when the first physical stimulus (for example, shaking the pen 100) is detected by the sensor 104 (first case), the pairing processing unit 156 is close to the pen 100, for example. Is set up for communication with the ring-type terminal 200a, and then the output control unit 158 causes the LED 106 and / or the LED 202 to pair with the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a (first state: communication is established). The display of the state of being set up and ready for pairing may be started.

  Here, for example, when the sensor 104 further detects a physical stimulus (for example, hitting the pen 100) (second case), the pairing processing unit 156 performs authentication between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a. The association on the service may be executed to complete the pairing. At this time, the output control unit 158 ends the display of the first state of pairing by the LED 106 and / or the LED 202, and the pairing state after the change by the pairing processing unit 156 (second state: pairing is completed) And display the status of being available). On the other hand, when the second physical stimulus is not detected for a predetermined time or when a different type of stimulus (for example, further shaking the pen 100) is detected, the pairing processing unit 156 determines that the pen 100 and the ring terminal Communication with 200a may be shut down. Similarly, when a predetermined type of physical stimulus is detected by the sensor 104 in a state where pairing has already been established, the pairing processing unit 156 performs pairing between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a. It may be resolved.

(5. Other embodiments)
FIG. 9 is a diagram for describing a first example of another embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 9, the system 20 includes a ring terminal 200a and a camera 500a. In the illustrated example, as in the example described with reference to FIG. 3 above, for example, when a physical stimulus such as shaking or tapping is given to the camera 500a, the camera 500a and the ring-type terminal 200a. The LED of the ring-type terminal 200a is turned on according to the pairing state. In this example, lighting of the LED 202 is controlled by, for example, an output control unit (which may have the same function as the output control unit 158 shown in FIG. 6) realized by a processor included in the camera 500a. At this time, for example, by making the lighting pattern of the LED 202 correspond to the pattern of the physical stimulus to the camera 500a, it is clearly shown that the lighting of the LED 202 in the ring type terminal 200a is generated in response to the stimulus to the camera 500a. can do.

  Similarly to the above example, a pairing control unit (which may have the same function as the pairing processing unit 156 shown in FIG. 6 above) realized by a processor included in the camera 500a is further included in the camera 500a. The pairing state between the camera 500a and the ring-type terminal 200a may be changed according to the physical stimulus given to the device. Similarly to the example described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 above, the camera 500a may be provided with an output device such as an LED, and the pairing state may be displayed. Further, regarding the output control unit and the pairing processing unit as described above, the function of the camera 500a and the function of the ring terminal 200a (and the mobile terminal 250 (not shown)) can be interchanged.

  By pairing the camera 500a with the ring terminal 200a, for example, information such as a public key used for encryption of an image photographed by the camera 500a and an upload destination of the image is transmitted from the ring terminal 200a to the camera 500a. Can be provided. For example, by encrypting an image captured by the camera 500a and stored in a memory card or the like using a public key method, the captured image can be referred to only by a device paired with the ring terminal 200a. Therefore, other devices that are not paired with the ring-type terminal 200a and the camera 500a after the pairing with the ring-type terminal 200a is canceled cannot refer to the captured image, thereby protecting privacy. Above is useful. Further, by providing information about the upload destination of the image from the ring type terminal 200a to the paired camera 500a, the captured image can be displayed without any additional setting on the camera 500a. You can upload to storage associated with your account.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for describing a second example of another embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 10, the system 30 includes a ring-type terminal 200a and a bicycle 500b. In the illustrated example, for example, as in the example described with reference to FIG. 4 above, when a physical stimulus such as hitting the bicycle 500b or rotating a wheel is given, the bicycle 500b and the ring are connected. The LED 200 of the ring type terminal 200a and the LED 506 of the bicycle 500b are turned on according to the pairing state with the type terminal 200a. In this example, the LED 202 and the LED 506 are turned on by, for example, an output control unit (in FIG. 6 described above) realized by a processor included in the bicycle 500b (or a management device provided in the station when the bicycle 500b is a rental bicycle). It can be controlled by the same function as the output control unit 158 shown. At this time, for example, by making the lighting pattern of the LED 202 and the LED 506 correspond to the pattern of the physical stimulus to the bicycle 500b, it can be clearly shown that the lighting is generated in response to the stimulus to the bicycle 500b.

  Similarly to the above example, the pairing control unit realized by the processor of the bicycle 500b (or the management device) (may have the same function as the pairing processing unit 156 shown in FIG. 6 above) However, the pairing state between the bicycle 500b and the ring-type terminal 200a may be changed in accordance with a physical stimulus applied to the bicycle 500b. Similarly to the example described with reference to FIG. 3 above, the bicycle 500b does not necessarily include an output device such as the LED 506. The lighting of the LED 202 and the LED 506 may be controlled as shown in FIG. In addition, regarding the output control unit and the pairing processing unit as described above, the function of the bicycle 500b (or the management device) and the function of the ring terminal 200a (and the mobile terminal 250 (not shown)) can be interchanged.

  By pairing the bicycle 500b with the ring terminal 200a, for example, the bicycle 500b can be lent to the user of the ring terminal 200a. If the payment can be completed using the user ID provided from the ring-type terminal 200a, no other procedure is required for lending. In this case, for example, similar to the example shown in FIG. 8 above, the LED 202 and the LED 506 indicate that the ring type terminal 200a and the bicycle 500b can be paired, and the user of the ring type terminal 200a starts rental. When the intent is displayed, pairing between the ring-type terminal 200a and the bicycle 500b is established, and rental may be started. After that, when the user leaves the bicycle with the bicycle 500b parked at a predetermined place (for example, the same station as when renting), the pairing between the ring-type terminal 200a and the bicycle 500b is released, and the rental ends. May be. The intention to start the rental may be displayed, for example, by giving a physical stimulus (striking, rotating a wheel, etc.) to the bicycle 500b, or a separately provided rental that rings the bell of the bicycle 500b. It may be displayed by a method such as pressing a start button.

  As an additional configuration, for example, when a plurality of selectable bicycles 500b are arranged at a rental bicycle station and the ring-type terminal 200a can be paired with each of them, for example, a management device for the bicycles 500b The pairing control unit implemented in FIG. 1 receives the user profile provided from the ring type terminal 200a by communication between any of the bicycles 500b (or the management apparatus itself) and the ring type terminal 200a, and the user registered in the user profile. One or more bicycles 500b estimated to be suitable for use by the user may be extracted based on height, age, and the like. In this case, the LED 506 is turned on in the extracted bicycle 500b, and the user is notified that the bicycle is suitable for pairing.

  In the example of the bicycle 500b as described above, for example, the bicycle 500b can be rented by a simple procedure, but in addition, a rental log is left in association with the user ID provided by the ring terminal 200a. It is. Therefore, the user can check the status of the rental contract (remaining time, fee, etc.) by accessing the service provider's server using the mobile terminal 250 or the like during the rental, or check the rental history afterwards. It becomes easy to do. Note that the example of the bicycle 500b as described above is not limited to a bicycle, and can be similarly realized with other vehicles such as an automobile.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for describing a third example of another embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 11, the system 40 includes a ring terminal 200a and a device for sale 500c. In the illustrated example, as in the example described with reference to FIG. 4 above, when a physical stimulus such as shaking is given to the device 500c, the device 500c and the ring-type terminal 200a Depending on the state of pairing, the LED 200 of the ring-type terminal 200a and the LED 506 of the device 500c are lit. In this example, lighting of the LED 202 and the LED 506 is controlled by, for example, an output control unit (which may have the same function as the output control unit 158 shown in FIG. 6 above) realized by a processor included in the device 500c. . At this time, for example, by making the lighting pattern of the LED 202 and the LED 506 correspond to the pattern of the physical stimulus to the device 500c, it can be clearly shown that the lighting is generated in response to the stimulus to the device 500c.

  Similarly to the above example, the pairing control unit (which may have the same function as the pairing processing unit 156 shown in FIG. 6 above) realized by the processor included in the device 500c is further included in the device 500c. The pairing state between the device 500c and the ring-type terminal 200a may be changed according to a physical stimulus applied to the device. Further, similarly to the example described above with reference to FIG. 3, the device 500 c is not necessarily provided with an output device such as the LED 506. The lighting of the LED 202 and the LED 506 may be controlled as shown in FIG. In addition, regarding the output control unit and the pairing processing unit as described above, the function of the device 500c and the function of the ring terminal 200a (and the mobile terminal 250 (not shown)) can be interchanged.

  By pairing the device 500c for sale with the ring terminal 200a, for example, the device 500c can be sold to the user of the ring terminal 200a. If the payment can be completed using the user ID provided from the ring-type terminal 200a, no other procedure is required for the sale. In this case, for example, similar to the example shown in FIG. 8 above, the LED 202 and the LED 506 indicate that the ring type terminal 200a and the device 500c can be paired, and the user of the ring type terminal 200a purchases them. When the intention is displayed, pairing between the ring terminal 200a and the device 500c for sale may be established, and the ownership of the device 500c may be transferred to the user of the ring terminal 200a. Note that the intention to purchase may be displayed, for example, by applying a physical stimulus (such as shaking) to the device 500c, or a user operating an input device such as a button or a touch panel provided on the device 500c. May be displayed.

(6. Examples of usage scenarios)
Further, some of the examples described above will be described with more specific scenarios.

(6-1. Pairing start and end of pen and ring type terminal)
First, a scenario in an example of pairing between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a as described above with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5 will be described.

(1) When the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a come close to each other, communication by Bluetooth (registered trademark) is automatically set up between these devices.
(2) When communication is set up, it enters a state of waiting for the user's intention display regarding pairing, and the LED 202 of the ring-type terminal 200a blinks in a predetermined temporal pattern (for example, at a frequency of about 1 Hz). .
(3) When the user swings the pen 100 in synchronization with the blinking of the LED 202 and, for example, the swing of the pen 100 and the blinking of the LED 202 are synchronized two or three times, it is considered that the intention to start pairing is displayed by the user. . In this case, the pairing processing unit 156 of the receiver 150 executes authentication and association processing on the service between the pen 100 and the ring terminal 200a, and pairing between the pen 100 and the ring terminal 200a is performed. Complete. After completion of pairing, the user may be notified of the completion of pairing by turning on the LED 202 in a different pattern (for example, quickly blinking twice).
(4) After pairing is completed according to the procedure as described above, the user shakes the pen 100 at an arbitrary timing, so that the LED 202 is lit in accordance with the manner of swinging. Accordingly, the user can easily recognize that the pairing between the pen 100 and the ring-type terminal 200a is continued.

As a modification, a part of the steps (2) and (3) described above is omitted. For example, the user holds the pen 100 with a hand wearing the ring-type terminal 200a (notification by the LED 202 until this time) If the pen 100 is shaken in this state, the pairing between the pen 100 and the ring terminal 200a may be automatically completed.
As another modification, in (3) above, the user may shake the ring terminal 200 a instead of the pen 100.

  For example, the user may place the pen 100 on a desk and shake only the ring type terminal 200a as an indication of the end of pairing in the above example. Alternatively, the user may shake the pen 100 and the ring type terminal 200a after holding the pen 100 in the hand opposite to the ring type terminal 200a. In any case, since the physical stimulus that does not correspond to each other is detected by the sensor 104 of the pen 100 and the sensor 204 of the ring terminal 200a, the pairing processing unit 156 of the receiver 150 and / or the pairing of the mobile terminal 250 is performed. The processing unit 254 can estimate that the user has an intention to end pairing. Note that the intention to end pairing may be acquired by, for example, pressing a pairing release button provided separately on the pen 100 and / or the ring terminal 200a.

(6-2. Rental bicycles)
Next, a scenario in an example of pairing between the bicycle 500b and the ring terminal 200a as described above with reference to FIG. 10 will be described.

(1) When the bicycle 500b and the ring-type terminal 200a come close to each other, communication by Bluetooth (registered trademark) is automatically set up between these devices. At this point, the bicycle 500b is locked by a bicycle stand that functions as a management device.
(2) When communication is set up, it enters a state of waiting for the user's intention display regarding pairing, and the LED 202 of the ring-type terminal 200a blinks in a predetermined temporal pattern (for example, at a frequency of about 1 Hz). .
(3) When the user grasps the brake lever of the bicycle 500b in synchronization with the blinking of the LED 202, and the movement of the brake lever and the blinking of the LED 202 are synchronized, for example, two or three times, pairing is started by the user (that is, rental starts). It is considered that the intention of was displayed. In this case, a pairing processing unit realized by a processor included in the bicycle stand performs authentication and association processing on the service between the bicycle 500b and the ring terminal 200a, and the bicycle 500b and the ring terminal 200a. Pairing with is completed. After the pairing is completed, the lock by the bicycle stand is released, and the bicycle 500b can be used.
(4) After pairing is completed according to the above procedure, the LED 202 is turned on in accordance with how the user grips the brake lever of the bicycle 500b at an arbitrary timing. Thereby, the user can easily recognize that the pairing between the bicycle 500b and the ring-type terminal 200a is continued.
(5) After use, pairing is completed by returning the bicycle 500b to the bicycle stand. In this state, the user can easily recognize that the rental has been completed normally by gripping the brake lever of the bicycle 500b, and the LED 202 does not light even when the user grips the brake lever.
