It is a block diagram of the navigation apparatus NV. It is a flowchart which shows the operation example of the navigation apparatus NV.

  An embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a detection unit 111A and an update unit 111B.

  The detection unit 111A detects an operation used by the user with respect to information output to the output unit 2 in an updatable manner. Information output to the output means in an updatable manner includes weather information, currency exchange information, stock price information, transportation operation information, SNS post information, and the like. The operation used by the user includes the movement of the user's line of sight, the user's operation on the output information when the output unit 2 outputs information, and the like.

  The updating unit 111B suppresses updating of information based on the operation used by the user detected by the detecting unit 111A.

  Therefore, according to the information processing apparatus 1, when presenting information that is updated at any time to the user, by suppressing the update of the information according to the situation of the user, it helps the user to understand the content of the information. Convenience can be improved.

  In addition, the information can be identified as first type information for which update of information is delayed depending on the operation used by the user, and second type information for updating information regardless of the operation used by the user. Yes, if the update unit 111B identifies that the information is the first type information, the update unit 111B checks the update of the information according to the operation used by the user, and if the information is the second type information, Updates information regardless of the action used by.

  In this case, if the information is the first type information, the control for performing the update or performing the update is performed depending on whether or not the user is the target of the operation used. It is possible to prevent the information from being updated despite being the target of the operation being used. On the other hand, if the information is the second type information, it is updated regardless of whether or not it is the target of the operation used by the user, so whether or not it is the target of the operation used by the user. Regardless, the information to be updated (information that needs to be updated at any time (for example, information indicating the current time, speed information of a moving body such as an automobile)) is updated, so that convenience for the user is not impaired.

  Furthermore, the update unit 111B recognizes the output position in the output information, and when the operation detected by the detection unit 111A is an operation for the information output to the output position, the update unit 111B refrains from updating the information. In this case, when the user's action is for the information output at the recognized output position, the user's action is for the information. Can help understanding and improve convenience.

  Furthermore, the detection unit 111A detects a movement of the user's line of sight or an operation on the user's information as an operation. In this case, when presenting information that is updated at any time to the user, by controlling the update depending on whether the user is looking at the information or performing an operation on the information , Helping users understand the content of information and improving convenience.

  Furthermore, the update unit 111B refers to the operation history storage unit 3 that stores the history of the operation detected by the detection unit 111A. The update unit 111B stores information on the information that was not the target of the operation but was the target of the operation until a predetermined time ago. Refrain from updating. The predetermined time can be arbitrarily set. The setting may be performed by a manufacturer that manufactures and sells the information processing apparatus 1 or may be performed by a user. Note that the operation history storage unit 3 may be provided outside or inside the information processing apparatus 1.

  In this case, for example, if the user has browsed the information until a predetermined time ago (although it was the target of the operation), but the information can no longer be browsed due to various circumstances, then the user tries to browse the information again. When the line of sight is directed to the output means 2, since the information update is postponed, the same information as the predetermined time before can be browsed again. It should be noted that the information update may be postponed only when the user has been the target of the operation for a predetermined time (s time, continuous or non-continuous) before the predetermined time (t time). In other words, although the operation target has been set up until time t, when the time is less than s hours, the information may be updated. As a result, only information that has been subject to action (information that has been viewed carefully) can be postponed, and information that has not been subject to action (such as glanced information) will be updated. , User convenience can be improved.

  Next, specific examples corresponding to the above-described embodiments will be described.

  The control unit 211 acquires time information from the system clock, and acquires exchange information and SNS posting information from a server device (not shown). Information indicating the exchange rate between currencies set by the user is acquired as the exchange information, and information indicating a posted article including the keyword set by the user is acquired as the SNS posting information. The control unit 211 acquires time information and an exchange rate at predetermined intervals, and acquires SNS posting information every time a new posted article is uploaded to the server device.

  The control unit 211 identifies the configuration of the screen currently displayed on the display 214c. For example, the position and display content of the part to be updated on the screen (for example, the time display area 401, the exchange display area 402, the posted information display area 403 in FIG. 2), and the position of the part that can be operated by the user in the screen Etc. are specified. In addition, the control unit 211 specifies which update target is the information for updating the information displayed in the update target part. On the other hand, the control unit 211 specifies the direction of the line of sight of the user (driver and passenger) based on the captured image output by the line-of-sight detection camera 227. Specifically, it is specified which user is looking at which of the time display area 401, the exchange display area 402, and the posted information display area 403 on the screen displayed on the display 214c. Further, the control unit 211 identifies the surrounding environment such as the weather outside the vehicle and the road conditions based on the captured image output from the vehicle outside camera 228.

(5) When the acquired information is information for updating an updated part (the line of sight is directed) that has been operated by the user within an arbitrarily set time, the acquired information Refrain from updating.

[3. Example of operation of navigation device NV]
Next, an operation example of the navigation device NV will be described using the flowchart of FIG. It is assumed that the calibration of the gaze detection by the gaze detection camera 227 has been completed. Further, the control unit 211 detects the user's line of sight, 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 an 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 part (time display area 401, exchange display area 402, or posted information display area 403) to be updated with 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 post information, the post 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 an update match (step S13). In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the time information is information that does not require update matching, while the exchange information and SNS posting information are not information that does not require update matching (that is, information that requires update matching). Suppose there is). If the control unit 211 determines that the acquired information is information (time information) that does not need to be updated (step S13: YES), the update identified in the process of step S12 based on the acquired information (time information) The information of the part (time display area 401) is updated (step S21), and the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, if the control unit 211 determines that the acquired information is not information that does not need to be updated (ie, if it is determined to be exchange information or SNS posting information) (step S13: NO), then the use The user's current line-of-sight information and operation information are acquired (step S14).

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

  When the control unit 211 determines that the operation target of the user is the update part specified in the process in step S12 (step S16: YES), the control unit 211 specifies the process in step S12 based on the information acquired in step S11. The update of the information displayed in the update part is postponed (step S22), and the process proceeds to step S11. As a result, even if new information is acquired for the updated part that the user is operating, the information of the updated part is not updated by the information, so that the user's understanding of the information content is deepened. On the other hand, if the control unit 211 determines that the current operation target of the user is not the update part specified in the process of step S12 (step S16: NO), then the user operation history information, the line of sight movement History information, current position information, and ambient environment information are acquired (step S17). Specifically, the control unit 211 acquires user operation history information and line-of-sight movement history information from the storage device 212, acquires latitude, longitude, and altitude data output by the GPS reception unit 225 as current position information, Ambient environment information is acquired by analyzing an image taken outside the vehicle that is output from the outside camera 228. The ambient environment information is information indicating whether or not the current surrounding environment is in a high-risk situation, and the control unit 211 determines whether the weather outside the vehicle or the road is based on the captured image output by the exterior camera 228. Calculate and obtain based on the situation. For example, if there is heavy rain, if the road you are currently driving is congested, or if the road you are currently driving is an extremely narrow road, you can obtain information on the surrounding environment indicating that the risk is high. Is done. Note that the control unit 211 transmits the current position of the host vehicle via the network to the server apparatus that holds information indicating weather, road conditions, and the like for each position, and responds to the current position from the server apparatus. The information may be acquired and ambient environment information may be calculated based on the information. In addition, the control unit 211 transmits the current position of the host vehicle via the network to the server device that calculates the risk information indicating the risk of the position for each position, and the risk information is It may be acquired as environmental information.

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

  When the control unit 211 determines that the current position is a near-miss point (step S19: YES), the information displayed in the update part identified by the process of step S12 is updated by the information acquired in step S11. (Step S22), the process proceeds to step S11. Thereby, when the current position is a near miss point, even if information is newly acquired, the information of the updated part is not updated by the information, so the user (driver) can concentrate on driving, Safety is improved. On the other hand, if the control unit 211 determines that the current position is not a near-miss point (step S19: NO), then the surrounding environment has a high degree of risk based on the surrounding environment information acquired in the process of step S17. It is determined whether 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 updated part identified by the process of step S12 based on the information acquired in step S11. The information update 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 the user (driver) can concentrate on driving, Safety is improved. 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 performs step S12 based on the information (exchange information or SNS posting information) acquired in the process of step S11. The information of the updated part (exchange display area 402 or posted information display area 403) specified in the process is updated (step S21), and the process proceeds to step S11.

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

  Therefore, according to the navigation device NV according to the present embodiment, when information that is updated as needed is presented to the user, by suppressing the update of the information according to the user's situation, the user's information Helps understand the content and improves convenience.

  In addition, the information acquired in the process of step S11 includes the exchange information and SNS posting information (an example of “first type information”) for which the information is updated by the operation used by the user and the user. Time information (an example of “second type information”) for updating information regardless of the operation being performed, and when the control unit 211 identifies the information as exchange information or SNS posting information ( Step S13: NO), while updating the information according to the operation used by the user (step S22), if the information is identified as time information (step S13: YES), the user is using 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 the information is updated regardless of the operation used by the user. Can be prevented. On the other hand, since the time information is updated regardless of the operation used by the user, the information to be updated is updated, so the convenience of the user is not impaired.

  Furthermore, the control unit 211 recognizes an update part (an example of “output position”) on the display 214c that performs the update using the information acquired in step S11 (step S12), and the user's action is output to the update part. If it is an action for the information to be processed, the information update is postponed. Therefore, when the user's action is for the information output to the update part, the user can understand the contents of the information output to the update part and improve the convenience by giving up on the update. Can do.

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

  Furthermore, the control unit 211 refers to a storage device 212 (an example of “operation history storage unit”) that stores a history of detected user actions (operation history information and line-of-sight movement history information). The update of the information output to the display 214c, which was the target of the user's action until a predetermined time before, is postponed. Therefore, for example, when a user browses information until a predetermined time ago (although it was an object of operation) but cannot be browsed due to various circumstances, the user then looks at the information again to browse the information. Since the update of information is postponed when pointing to, the same information as a predetermined time ago can be browsed. It should be noted that the update of information may be postponed if the user has been the subject of operation for a predetermined time (s time, continuous or non-continuous) before a predetermined time (t time). In other words, although the operation target has been set up until time t, when the time is less than s hours, the information may be updated. As a result, only information that has been subject to action (information that has been viewed carefully) can be postponed, and information that has not been subject to action (such as glanced information) will be updated. , User convenience can be improved.

As a result, when the current position is approaching the near-miss point or when the current position is the near-miss point, the update is made, and the user (driver) can concentrate on driving, improving safety. .

[4.4. Modification 4]
In the above embodiment, it is not determined whether 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 the driver is a driver or a fellow passenger (in this case, the user is directing his gaze or performing an operation). If the user is a fellow passenger, step S11 is performed. Then, after the process of step S12, the process proceeds to the process of step S21. On the other hand, the process shown in FIG. 4 only when the user is a driver (that is, the process of keeping up with the update of information depending on the situation). It may be executed.

[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, so that the update by the information acquired in the latest process of step S11 is not performed. 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 update the information acquired in the process of step S11 without fail. May be used for updating (FIFO (First In First Out)) in order from the older information of the stocked information.

[4.6. Modification 6]
In the above embodiment, the case where the information processing apparatus is the navigation apparatus NV has been described. However, the present invention can be applied to any apparatus that outputs information. For example, the present invention can be applied to a PC (personal computer), a notebook PC, a smartphone, a tablet, and the like. For example, if it is 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 submits an SNS. While the article is being browsed, the posted article is not updated and is updated when the user is not browsing. In addition, articles that have been viewed within a predetermined time are updated even if the line of sight is lost, for example, even if the line of sight is removed when getting on and off the train, it is updated when you try to browse again. You can browse the same article.
