Description

  The present invention relates to a display control method, a terminal, and a program.

  With the spread of SNS (Social Network Service), a messaging service for transmitting and receiving contents such as messages between user terminals is widely used.

  Since there is a case where highly confidential information related to a user's business or the like is transmitted / received using a messaging service, various proposals have been made for display settings of transmitted / received messages. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes that content such as a message selected by the user is hidden from the messaging service screen.

JP, 2006-502174, A

  According to the proposed method, it is possible to apply the non-display setting to the content based on the user's selection so that the content is not viewed by others, but the user's operation of selecting the content is complicated. There is a possibility that the setting omission by the user may occur.

  In addition, when a messaging service is used in business, it is possible to display content on each of the user terminals only when each of the user terminals that transmit and receive the content exists in a predetermined location such as an office. In some cases, this is preferable.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to appropriately adjust the content displayed on the terminal screen based on the situation of other terminals existing around the terminal.

  In one aspect, the first user terminal receives an instruction to display content for which display restriction is set from the first user, and the first user is based on the display restriction setting. Adjusting the display range of the content and displaying it on the screen, and the setting of the display restriction is a place where the terminal of the first user and the terminal of the second user exist The display control method is characterized in that the terminal of the first user is set to adjust the display range of the content.

  The content displayed on the terminal screen can be appropriately adjusted based on the situation of other terminals existing around the terminal.

[First Embodiment]
<System configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a system configuration of an information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. The information processing system 1 includes an information processing apparatus 10 and an information processing terminal 20 (hereinafter, terminal 20). The information processing apparatus 10 and the terminal 20 are connected via the network 2.

  One or more portions of the network 2 include an ad hoc network (Ad Hoc Network), an intranet, the Internet, a virtual private network (Virtual Private Network, VPN), a local area network (Local Area Network, LAN), a wireless network LAN (Wireless LAN), Wide Area Network (Wide Area Network, WAN), Wireless WAN (Wireless WAN, WWAN), Metropolitan Area Network (Metropolitan Area Network, MAN), Public Telephone Network (Public Switched Telecommunications) Telephone Land (Public Land Mob ile Network (PLMN), a network using satellite communications, a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), an optical fiber, or a combination of two or more of these.

  The information processing apparatus 10 is realized by a server, for example, and provides the SNS to the user of the terminal 20. The information processing apparatus 10 provides, for example, a messaging service as a service provided by the SNS. The information processing apparatus 10 performs transmission / reception control of contents such as messages, stamps, images, and data of various files transmitted / received between the terminals 20.

  The terminal 20 can be a computer (eg, desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.), media computer platform (eg, cable, satellite set-top box, digital video recorder), handheld computer device (eg, PDA (personal digital assistant), e-mail, etc. Clients), mobile phones (eg, smartphones, feature phones, etc.), wearable terminals (glasses-type devices, watch-type devices, etc.) or other types of computers, or communication platforms, but the invention is not limited thereto. Absent.

  The terminal 20 operates an SNS application, an Internet browser, or the like, and executes various SNS services.

  The terminal 20 has a function of near field communication (Near Field Communication) such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), or Z-Wave (registered trademark). The terminal 20 detects that another terminal 20 exists in the vicinity using short-range wireless communication. For example, the terminal 20 may adjust the output of short-range wireless communication to detect another terminal 20 that is shorter than a predetermined distance from the terminal 20. The terminal 20 may detect another terminal 20 using infrared (Infrared, IR) communication, sound wave communication, or the like.

  The terminal 20 restricts the content displayed on the screen according to the situation of the terminal 20 existing in the vicinity. For example, when the user A carries the terminal 20A, the user B carries the terminal 20B, and the user C carries the terminal 20C, when the terminal 20B is detected in the vicinity, the terminal 20A The fact that the user B exists in the vicinity is displayed on the screen, and information such as a message prompting the user A to restrict the display of the content is displayed. At this time, when the setting of the display restriction of the content transmitted / received to / from the terminal 20C of the user C is received from the user A, the terminal 20A adjusts the content displayed on the screen according to the setting. Specifically, the terminal 20 limits the displayed content more than usual. The terminal 20A notifies the information processing apparatus 10 of the display restriction setting, and the information processing apparatus 10 performs control according to the display restriction setting. For example, the information processing apparatus 10 may stop transmission to the terminal 20A when receiving content addressed to the terminal 20A from the terminal 20C.

  The information processing apparatus 10 stores the display restriction setting, and may inquire whether or not to execute the display restriction setting to the terminal 20A when the terminal 20B exists around the terminal 20A.

  When the above-described content display restriction procedure is executed, content display is appropriately restricted in accordance with the situation of users existing in the vicinity, so content that is not preferable to be viewed by other users is viewed. Can be prevented. For example, when the user A and the user C belong to the same organization and the user B does not belong to the organization, when the terminal 20B of the user B exists in the vicinity, transmission / reception is performed between the terminal 20A and the terminal 20C. Display of content including information on the assigned affiliation is appropriately restricted. Similarly, when the user A and the user C have a special human relationship and the user B does not want to recognize the relationship, the content transmitted and received between the terminal 20A and the terminal 20C is browsed. Can be prevented.

  In the above-described embodiment, the short-range radio is used to detect that the terminal 20 is present in the vicinity of the other terminal 20, but the GPS of the other terminal 20 is detected using the GPS (Global Positioning System). The presence may be detected. In this case, each of the terminals 20 specifies its own position based on the radio wave transmitted from the GPS satellite 4 and transmits the specified self position to the information processing apparatus 10. The information processing apparatus 10 identifies another terminal 20 that exists in the vicinity of the terminal 20 based on the information of each terminal 20's own position, and notifies the terminal 20 of the identification result. Moreover, you may detect that the other terminal 20 exists in the periphery using the information on the connection destination of the terminal 20. In this case, the information processing apparatus 10 identifies other terminals 20 that exist in the vicinity of the terminal 20 based on information on the wireless access point (for example, WLAN access point) to which the terminal 20 and the other terminal 20 are connected. Then, the specific result is notified to the terminal 20.

  In the following, the operation related to the setting of content display restriction in the messaging service will be mainly described. However, it is needless to say that the same operation related to the setting of display restriction can be applied to services other than the messaging service. For example, in a timeline service in which various contents posted by the user are displayed in chronological order, an operation related to the display restriction setting may be applied.

<Operation sequence>
An operation sequence related to content display restriction will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation sequence at the first setting of display restriction.

  In step S201, the terminal 20A executes a process of detecting another terminal 20 existing around the terminal 20A using short-range wireless. As a result of the detection processing, the terminal 20A detects the terminal 20B.

  In step S202, the terminal 20A transmits an SNS user identifier acquisition request to the terminal 20B.

  In step S203, the terminal 20A acquires the user identifier of the SNS of the user B who is the user of the terminal 20B.

  In step S204, the terminal 20A displays on the screen that the user B exists in the vicinity. Thereby, the user A can recognize that the user B exists in the periphery.

  In step S <b> 205, the terminal 20 </ b> A receives from the user A a display restriction setting when the user B exists around the user A, that is, when the terminal 20 </ b> B exists around the terminal 20 </ b> A.

  The setting of the display restriction is to restrict the display of the information related to the user's own information and other users having a relationship on the SNS on the screen.

  For example, in response to an instruction from the user A, the terminal 20A prevents information such as the user name of the user C and an icon from being displayed on the screen.

  For example, in response to an instruction from the user A, the terminal 20A prevents a display menu (for example, talk room) of content transmitted and received between the user A and the user C from being displayed on the screen.

  For example, in response to an instruction from the user A, the terminal 20A prevents the content from the user A to the user C and the content from the user C to the user A from being displayed on the screen.

  For example, in response to an instruction from the user A, the terminal 20A transmits to the information processing apparatus 10 an instruction to stop receiving content from the terminal 20C of the user C or an instruction to stop notification when content is received. To do.

  When setting the display restriction, the terminal 20A may accept a setting for deleting content when a predetermined user exists in the vicinity. This eliminates the possibility that the content is erroneously displayed on the screen.

  For example, in response to an instruction from the user A, the terminal 20A deletes from the terminal 20A at least one of content addressed to the user C from the user A and content addressed to the user A from the user C.

  Here, the terminal 20A sets the display restriction from the user A as follows: “If the user B exists in the vicinity, the content addressed to the user A from the user C is not displayed, and the content addressed to the user A from the user C is received. The explanation will be made on the assumption that "stop" is accepted.

  In step S206, the terminal 20A notifies the information processing apparatus 10 of the display restriction setting.

  In step S207, the information processing apparatus 10 stores the received display restriction setting and applies the content when transmitting the content to the terminal 20A of the user A.

  In step S208, the information processing apparatus 10 receives content addressed to the user A from the user C from the terminal 20C.

  In step S209, the information processing apparatus 10 stores the received content without transmitting it to the terminal 20A because “stop receiving content addressed to the user A from the user C” is set. When the display restriction setting is canceled, the information processing apparatus 10 transmits the content to the terminal 20A.

  By applying the operation sequence of FIG. 2, it is possible to appropriately limit the display range of content displayed when other users exist in the vicinity.

  Next, an operation sequence relating to the setting of the second and subsequent display restrictions will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the second and subsequent display restriction settings, the display restriction setting stored in the information processing apparatus 10 is applied.

  About the procedure of step S301 thru | or step S303, since it is the same as the procedure of step S201 thru | or step S203, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In step S304, the terminal 20A notifies the information processing apparatus 10 of the identifier of the user B. At this time, the terminal 20A may notify the information processing apparatus 10 of the identifier of the user of the terminal 20 existing in the vicinity.

  In step S <b> 305, the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether a display restriction setting applied by the user A to the user B is stored. When the display restriction setting is stored, the information processing apparatus 10 identifies the applied display restriction setting.

  In step S306, the information processing apparatus 10 notifies the terminal 20A of the specified display restriction setting.

  In step S307, the terminal 20A displays the received display restriction setting on the screen.

  In step S308, the terminal 20A receives a display restriction setting application instruction from the user A, and applies the display restriction setting.

  In step S309, the terminal 20A transmits a display restriction setting application instruction to the information processing apparatus 10.

  In step S310, the information processing apparatus 10 receives the instruction and applies the display restriction setting. For example, the information processing apparatus 10 stops the transmission of the content subject to display restriction to the terminal 20A of the user A.

  The detection processing of the peripheral terminals 20 is executed at a predetermined timing, and the terminal 20 notifies the information processing apparatus 10 of the acquired user identifier. When the target user for the display restriction setting does not exist in the vicinity, the terminal 20 cancels the display restriction setting. Similarly, the information processing apparatus 10 cancels the display restriction setting. When the setting is canceled, the content is displayed in a normal display mode, and the content whose transmission has been stopped is transmitted from the information processing apparatus 10 to the terminal 20.

  In the operation sequence of FIG. 3, the information processing apparatus 10 applies the display restriction setting after receiving the instruction to apply the display restriction setting from the terminal 20A in step S309, but displays the display restriction in step S305. When the restriction setting is specified, the information processing apparatus 10 may apply the display restriction setting. The terminal 20A receives the instruction to apply the display restriction setting in step S308 and starts applying the display restriction setting. When the terminal 20A is notified of the display restriction setting in step S306, the terminal 20A May start setting display restrictions.

  If the identifier of the user of the terminal 20 existing in the vicinity is notified to the information processing apparatus 10 by applying the operation sequence of FIG. 3, the terminal 20 acquires an appropriate display restriction setting from the information processing apparatus 10. Can do. The display restriction setting need not be stored in the terminal 20, and the user need not perform the display restriction setting every time the user identifier is detected.

<Screen display>
The screen display of the terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 shows the display of the screen of the terminal 20 when setting the display restriction.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen display of the terminal 20A in step S204. The terminal 20A acquires the identifier of the SNS user from other peripheral terminals 20 using short-range wireless communication. In the example of FIG. 4A, the presence of the user B, the user D, and the user E around the terminal 20A is displayed using the user name and the icons (31, 32, 33) indicating the user. It shows how it is done. When a user's selection is accepted from the user A by a tap or the like, the screen changes to a screen for setting display restrictions.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen display of the terminal 20A in step S205. A message (“Please select a talk room to restrict display to user B”) 34 is displayed together with a talk room list 35. When the selection of the talk room 36 whose display is to be restricted is accepted, the screen transitions to a screen for setting the display restriction of the selected talk room 36. Here, the description will be given assuming that the talk room 36A with “user C” is selected on the screen of FIG.

  FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating an example of a display restriction setting screen. On the display restriction setting screen, the selection of “hide message” (40) and “delete message” (50) of the selected talk room 36 is accepted. When “Yes” (41) is selected in “Hide message” (40), a pattern for hiding the message is selected from patterns 1 to 4 (42A, 42B, 42C, 42D). When “No” (43) is selected in “Hide message” (40), the process of hiding the message (the process of hiding it) is not executed. When “Yes” (51) is selected in “Delete message” (50), when “Send” (52) is selected, the message transmitted by terminal 20A to user C is deleted, and “Receive” is received. ”(53) is selected, the message sent from the user C received by the terminal 20A is deleted, and when“ Transmit + Receive ”(54) is selected, the message sent from the terminal 20A to the user C, And the message which made the user C the terminal 20A received is deleted. When “No” (55) is selected in “Delete message” (50), the message in the talk room 36 is not deleted.

  On the display restriction setting screen, it is also possible to set the handling of a new message addressed to the user A whose source is the user C. When “Yes” (62) is selected in “Reception stop” (61), a new message addressed to user A with user C as the transmission source is not transmitted to terminal 20A. When “No” (63) is selected in “Reception stop” (61), a new message addressed to user A with user C as the transmission source is transmitted to terminal 20A. When “Yes” (65) is selected in “Notification presence” (64), a new message is received when the terminal 20A receives a new message addressed to the user A from the user C. A notice to that effect is displayed. On the other hand, if “None” (66) is selected in “Notification presence / absence” (64), a new message is received when the terminal 20A receives a new message addressed to the user A from the user C as a transmission source. The notification that it was received is not displayed.

  Next, a pattern for hiding a message will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 shows an example of a display pattern when hiding a message. In (A) and (B) of FIG. 5, the area shown in gray indicates that it is not displayed on the screen of the terminal 20.

  When hiding a message, various hiding methods can be set. For example, the terminal 20A may perform control so that all messages are not displayed. As shown in FIG. 5A, not only the area 71 where the message addressed to the user A having the user C as the transmission source is displayed, but the message addressed to the user C having the user A as the transmission source is displayed. The area 72 may be displayed. As a result, the user A can confirm the rough transmission / reception history of the message even when some messages are hidden.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, the icon 73 of the user C and the message transmission / reception time may be displayed. Thereby, the user A can determine whether or not the response has been made to the message. The terminal 20A is, as shown in (C) of FIG. 5, fixed phrase (Hi, good morning, etc.) messages consisting of may be controlled so as to display a dummy screen showing how the transmitted and received.

  In FIGS. 4 and 5, the display restriction setting has been described by taking a message as an example, but it is needless to say that the same display restriction setting can be applied to contents other than the message.

(1) Functional configuration of terminal The functional configuration of the terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The terminal 20 includes a detection unit 210, a transmission / reception unit 220, a display control unit 230, a reception unit 240, a condition setting unit 250, and a control unit 260. These functions are realized by reading out one or more programs stored in the ROM 202 or the like and executing them by the CPU 201. Further, the terminal 20 includes an information storage unit 270. The information storage unit 270 has a setting management table 271. The information storage unit 270 is realized by the storage device 204, for example.

  The detection unit 210 detects other terminals 20 existing around the terminal 20, that is, detects other terminals 20 existing within a predetermined distance from the terminal 20, and the user of the other terminal 20 The identifier of the user used in SNS is acquired.

  The transmission / reception unit 220 transmits / receives data to / from the information processing apparatus 10. The transmission / reception unit 220 notifies the information processing apparatus 10 of the display restriction setting. The transmission / reception unit 220 notifies the information processing apparatus 10 of the identifier of the user who has been detected to exist in the vicinity. Further, the transmission / reception unit 220 receives the display restriction setting from the information processing apparatus 10.

  The display control unit 230 displays various information on the screen in accordance with instructions from the control unit 260, the condition setting unit 250, and the like. The display control unit 230 displays the user information detected by the detection unit 210 on the screen.

  The accepting unit 240 accepts various instructions from the user. The receiving unit 240 receives a display restriction setting from the user.

  The condition setting unit 250 stores the display restriction setting received from the user by the receiving unit 240 in the setting management table 271.

  The control unit 260 executes control necessary for executing various SNS menus.

  The information storage unit 270 stores information necessary for executing various SNS menus. The information storage unit 270 stores information such as identifiers of other users, user names of other users, icons, and the like with which the user of the terminal 20 has established a relationship on the SNS.

  The setting management table 271 stores display restriction settings. FIG. 9 shows an example of the setting management table 271 according to the first embodiment.

  In the example of FIG. 9, the setting management table 271 stores display restriction target users, display restricted contents, display restriction methods, and reception settings in association with each other.

  When the display restriction of the setting number “No. 1” is set, when it is detected that the terminal 20B of the “user B” that is the display restriction target user exists in the vicinity, the display control unit 230 The display on the screen of the information regarding “user A to user C talk room” is restricted. Since “Hide” and “Pattern 2” are set in the display restriction method, the display control unit 230 sets “Talk Room of User A to User C” according to “Pattern 2”, and displays the content of the target talk room. hide. In addition, since “no notification” is set in the reception setting, the transmission / reception unit 220 displays the received content even if the user C receives the content of the transmission source and the destination of the user A. do not do.

  When the display restriction of the setting number “No. 2” is set, when it is detected that the terminal 20D of the “user D” who is the display restriction target user exists in the vicinity, the display control unit 230 The display on the screen of information related to “user A to user E talk room” is restricted. Since “delete” and “received content” are set as the display restriction method, the control unit 260 stores the information in the information storage unit 270 when it is detected that the terminal 20D of “user D” exists in the vicinity. The content of the user E who has been sent and the destination is the user A is deleted. When displaying “user A to user E talk room” on the screen, the display control unit 230 displays only the transmission content (that is, the content of the user A as the transmission source and the destination as the user E). In addition, since “reception stop” is set in the reception setting, the information processing apparatus 10 that has received the display restriction setting stops transmission of content in which the user D is the transmission source and the user A is the destination.

  Note that the information stored in the setting management table 271 may be stored in the information processing apparatus 10, and the terminal 20 may acquire information from the information processing apparatus 10 every time display restriction is set.

(2) Functional configuration of information processing apparatus The functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The information processing apparatus 10 includes a transmission / reception unit 110, a setting execution unit 120, an extraction unit 130, and an SNS processing unit 140. These functions are realized by the CPU 301 executing one or more programs stored in the ROM 303 or the like.

  The transmission / reception unit 110 transmits / receives various data to / from the terminal 20. The transmission / reception unit 110 receives the display restriction setting from the terminal 20. The transmission / reception unit 110 receives from the terminal 20 an identifier of another terminal 20 that has detected that the terminal 20 exists in the vicinity.

  The setting execution unit 120 causes the information storage unit 150 to store the display restriction setting received from the terminal 20. Here, the display restriction setting stored in the information storage unit 150 is the same as the display restriction setting stored in the setting management table 271 of the terminal 20. When the content addressed to the user of the terminal 20 is received, the setting execution unit 120 checks the display restriction setting and determines whether or not the reception setting is set to “reception stop” or “no notification”. . When “stop reception” is set, the setting execution unit 120 stops transmission of the target content to the terminal 20 and causes the information storage unit 150 to store the content. The content is transmitted to the terminal 20 when the display restriction setting is released. If “no notification” is set, the setting execution unit 120 stops sending a notification to the terminal 20 that the target content has been received. When the display restriction setting is canceled, a notification that the content has been received is transmitted to the terminal 20.

  When receiving the user identifier acquired from the terminal 20 located in the vicinity from the terminal 20, the extraction unit 130 extracts the display restriction setting associated with the received user identifier from the information storage unit 150 and extracts it. The display restriction setting is transmitted to the terminal 20.

  The SNS processing unit 140 executes various controls for providing the terminal 20 with an SNS. For example, content transmission / reception control for providing a messaging service is executed.

  The information storage unit 150 stores information necessary for providing the SNS. The information storage unit 150 stores the display restriction setting received from the terminal 20. That is, the same content as the setting management table 271 is stored in the information storage unit 150.

<Operation flow>
(1) Operation Flow of Terminal The operation flow of the terminal 20 will be described using FIG. 11 and FIG. FIG. 11 shows an operation flow of the terminal 20 when the display restriction is set for the first time.

  In step S1101, the detection unit 210 of the terminal 20A detects another terminal 20 existing in the vicinity. As a result of the detection process, the detection unit 210 detects the terminal 20B, and acquires the user identifier in the SNS of the user B from the terminal 20B.

  In step S1102, the display control unit 230 displays the user name, icon, and the like of the user B specified from the identifier of the user B on the screen. Further, the display control unit 230 displays information for inquiring whether to set display restrictions on the screen.

  In step S <b> 1103, the condition setting unit 250 determines whether the reception unit 240 has received a display restriction setting in which the display restriction target user is the user B. If the display limit setting has not been accepted (No in step S1103), the process proceeds to step S1104. On the other hand, if a display restriction setting has been received (step S1103 Yes), the process proceeds to step S1105.

  In step S1104, the display control unit 230 displays the content on the screen in a normal display mode.

  In step S 1105, condition setting unit 250 stores the received display restriction setting in information storage unit 270. The display control unit 230 displays the content on the screen based on the display restriction setting.

  In step S1106, the transmission / reception unit 220 notifies the information processing apparatus 10 of the display restriction setting.

  In step S <b> 1107, the detection unit 210 determines whether or not the terminal 20 of the display restriction target user exists in the vicinity. If it does not exist in the vicinity (No in step S1107), the process proceeds to step S1108. On the other hand, when it exists in the periphery (step S1107 Yes), it progresses to step S1109.

  In step S1108, the condition setting unit 250 cancels the display restriction setting. The display control unit 230 displays the content on the screen in a normal display mode.

  In response to an instruction from the condition setting unit 250, the transmission / reception unit 220 notifies the information processing apparatus 10 that the terminal 20 of the target user for display restriction does not exist in the vicinity. Instead of notifying that the target user's terminal 20 does not exist in the vicinity, the identifier of the user of the terminal 20 existing in the vicinity detected by the detection unit 210 may be notified. In this case, the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether or not it is necessary to continue setting the display restriction based on the notified user identifier.

  In step S1109, the display control unit 230 continues to display content based on the display restriction setting.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of the operation flow of the terminal 20 at the time of setting the second and subsequent display restrictions.

  In step S1201, the detection unit 210 of the terminal 20A detects another terminal 20 existing in the vicinity. As a result of the detection process, the detection unit 210 detects the terminal 20B, and acquires the user identifier in the SNS of the user B from the terminal 20B.

  In step S1202, the transmission / reception unit 220 notifies the information processing apparatus 10 of the identifier of the user B.

  In step S <b> 1203, the condition setting unit 250 determines whether the display restriction setting for the target user as the user B is acquired from the information processing apparatus 10. If the display restriction setting has not been acquired (No at Step S1203), the process proceeds to Step S1204. On the other hand, when the display restriction setting is acquired (step S1203 Yes), the process proceeds to step S1205.

  In step S1204, display control unit 230 displays the content on the screen in a normal display mode.

  In step S1205, the display control unit 230 displays the display restriction setting on the screen.

  In step S1206, condition setting unit 250 determines whether or not reception unit 240 has received an instruction to apply the display restriction setting displayed on the screen. If an application instruction has been received (step S1206 Yes), the process proceeds to step S1207. On the other hand, if an application instruction has not been received, the process advances to step S1204.

  The procedure of step S1207 is the same as the procedure of step S1105, and the procedure of steps S1208 to S1210 is the same as the procedure of steps S1107 to S1109. Therefore, description of these procedures is omitted.

(2) Operation Flow of Information Processing Device An operation flow of the information processing device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. 13 and 14 both show an operation flow of the information processing apparatus 10 when a signal from the terminal 20A of the user A is transmitted and received.

  In step S1301, the transmission / reception unit 110 of the information processing apparatus 10 receives a display restriction setting from the terminal 20A.

  In step S1302, the setting execution unit 120 causes the information storage unit 150 to store the received display restriction setting. The setting execution unit 120 executes control based on the display restriction setting. Specifically, the setting execution unit 120 does not transmit the content subject to the display restriction setting, the content reception notification, or the like to the terminal 20A.

  In step S1303, the transmission / reception unit 110 receives an identifier of a user of another terminal 20 existing in the vicinity from the terminal 20A.

  In step S1304, the setting execution unit 120 determines whether the terminal 20 of the display restriction target user exists around the terminal 20A. When the terminal 20 of the display restriction target user does not exist in the vicinity (No in step S1304), the process proceeds to step S1305. On the other hand, if the terminal 20 of the display restriction target user exists in the vicinity (Yes in step S1304), the process proceeds to step S1306.

  In step S1305, the setting execution unit 120 cancels the display restriction setting. The SNS processing unit 140 transmits content, content reception notification, and the like to the terminal 20A with normal settings.

  In step S1306, the setting execution unit 120 continues the control based on the display restriction setting.

  FIG. 14 shows an operation flow when the information processing apparatus 10 receives an identifier of a user of another terminal 20 existing in the vicinity from the terminal 20.

  In step S1401, the transmission / reception unit 110 of the information processing apparatus 10 receives a notification of an identifier of a user existing in the vicinity from the terminal 20A.

  In step S1402, the extraction unit 130 refers to the display settings stored in the information storage unit 150, and determines whether there is a display restriction setting corresponding to the identifier of the user who has received the notification. When the corresponding display restriction setting is stored (step S1402 Yes), the process proceeds to step S1403. When the corresponding display restriction setting is not stored (No in step S1402), the process proceeds to step S1404.

  In step S1403, the extraction unit 130 specifies a display restriction setting corresponding to the identifier of the user who has received the notification. The extraction unit 130 transmits the specified display restriction setting to the terminal 20 via the transmission / reception unit 110.

  In step S1404, the extraction unit 130 notifies the terminal 20 that the display restriction setting corresponding to the identifier of the user who has received the notification is not stored.

  In step S <b> 1405, the setting execution unit 120 determines whether an instruction to apply display restriction settings is received from the terminal 20. If an application instruction has been received (step S1405 Yes), the process proceeds to step S1406. On the other hand, when the application instruction has not been received (No in step S1405), the process ends.

  In step S1406, the setting execution unit 120 executes control based on the display restriction setting.

  Since the operation procedure from step S1407 to step S1410 is the same as that from step S1303 to step S1306, description thereof will be omitted.

  According to the first embodiment, the display range of the content displayed on the terminal 20 is appropriately adjusted based on the location of the other terminal 20.
