FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  The information processing apparatus 10 of the present embodiment is an ID card such as an employee ID card, for example, and includes a control unit 11, a display unit 12, a storage unit 13, a network communication unit 14 (NW communication unit in FIG. 2), A short-range communication unit 15 (NF communication unit in FIG. 2), an acceleration sensor 16, and an angular velocity sensor 17 are provided. These components can transmit / receive data or signals to / from each other through a bus.

  The display unit 12 includes a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic EL (OLED: Organic Light-Emitting Diode), and the like.

  The storage unit 13 is a large-capacity rewritable nonvolatile memory (EEPROM or the like), and stores a plurality of contents displayed on the display unit 12.

  The network communication unit 14 is a communication interface including a communication module such as a LAN chip (not shown). The network communication unit 14 is connected to a server or the like via a network such as a public line network, and makes a data call with the server or the like.

  The short-range communication unit 15 is a communication interface such as blue tooth and performs data communication with an external transmitter (beacon).

  The acceleration sensor 16 is a known three-axis acceleration sensor, and detects acceleration in the three directions of the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis of the information processing apparatus 10 (particularly, the display unit 12) to indicate the acceleration in the three directions. The respective detection signals XS, YS, and ZS are output. Since the acceleration sensor 16 is built in the information processing apparatus 10, the acceleration sensor 16 detects the acceleration in three directions applied to the information processing apparatus 10.

  The angular velocity sensor 17 is a known angular velocity sensor, and detects the rotation angle around the reference axis of the information processing apparatus 10 (particularly the display unit 12). Since the angular velocity sensor 17 is built in the information processing apparatus 10, the angular velocity sensor 17 detects the rotation angle of the information processing apparatus 10 around the reference axis. Here, two angular velocity sensors 17 are provided. One angular velocity sensor 17 detects the rotation of the information processing apparatus 10 in the horizontal direction H and outputs a detection signal HS indicating the rotation angle. The other angular velocity sensor 17 detects the rotation of the information processing apparatus 10 in the vertical direction V and outputs a detection signal VS indicating the rotation angle.

  The control unit 11 includes a processor, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. The processor is a CPU (Central Processing Unit), MPU, ASIC, or the like. The control unit 11 functions as the control unit 21, the displacement determination unit 22, the position determination unit 23, and the communication control unit 24 when the control program stored in the ROM or the storage unit 13 is executed by the processor. . In addition, each said component of the control unit 11 may be comprised by a hard circuit, respectively, not based on the operation | movement based on the above-mentioned control program.

  The control unit 21 performs overall operation control, but mainly performs display control of the display unit 12. The communication control unit 24 controls the communication operation of the communication unit 14.

  The displacement determination unit 22 inputs the detection signals XS, YS, ZS of the acceleration sensor 16 and the detection signals HS, VS of the two angular velocity sensors 17, and determines the displacement of the information processing apparatus 10 based on these detection signals. To do. For example, when the detection signal XS exceeds a preset first threshold value, the displacement determination unit 22 determines that the detection signal XS is shaken in the lateral direction, and when the detection signal YS exceeds a preset first threshold value, FIG. If it is determined that the information processing apparatus 10 has been swung in the vertical direction and the detection signal ZS exceeds a preset first threshold, it is determined that the information processing apparatus 10 has been swung in the front-rear direction as illustrated in FIG. To do.

  Further, when each of the detection signals HS exceeds a preset second threshold value, the displacement determination unit 22 causes the information processing apparatus 10 to rotate in the horizontal direction H or reciprocate as shown in FIG. If each detection signal VS exceeds a preset second threshold value, the information processing apparatus 10 is rotated or reciprocated in the vertical direction V as shown in FIG. Determined).

  Further, the displacement determination unit 22 determines whether the information processing apparatus 10 is swung in various other directions based on the detection signals XS, YS, ZS of the acceleration sensor 16 and the detection signals HS, VS of the two angular velocity sensors 17. Determine whether.

  That is, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10, the displacement determination unit 22 can determine the shake.

  The position determination unit 23 determines the position of the information processing apparatus 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that the user of the information processing apparatus 10 can move to the communication areas E1 to EN of a plurality of beacons (Beacon) B1 to BN. Each beacon has a function of transmitting unique identification information to the information processing apparatus. As shown in FIG. 6, a position table PT in which the identification signals of the beacons B1 to BN and the positions P1 to PN of the beacons B1 to BN are associated with each other is stored in the storage unit 13 in advance. Here, when the user of the information processing apparatus 10 moves to one of the communication areas E1 to EN, the short-range communication unit 15 receives the identification signal transmitted from the beacon of the moved communication area. The position determination unit 23 reads a position corresponding to the received identification signal from the position table PT, and determines the read position as the position of the information processing apparatus 10. Therefore, any one of the positions P1 to PN of the beacons B1 to BN is determined as the position of the information processing apparatus 10.

  The storage unit 13 stores a content table CT as shown in FIG. In the content table CT shown in FIG. 7, the contents C1 to CN associated with the positions P1 to PN of the beacons B1 to BN and the prescribed contents YC and LC that are not associated with any position. And are registered.

  The content associated with the location of the beacon is content that provides the user with information that is useful when located at the location. For example, when the beacon B1 is arranged in the canteen, the content C1 corresponding to the position P1 of the beacon B1 is a canteen menu as shown in FIG. Or when beacon B2 is arrange | positioned in the meeting room, the content C2 corresponding to the position P2 of beacon B2 is the schedule table of a meeting room as shown in FIG.8 (B).

  The specified content includes, for example, a user's face photograph as shown in FIG. 9A, identification information (content) YC such as the department to which the user belongs, and a company logotype (content) as shown in FIG. 9B. LC. These contents YC and LC are contents necessary for using the information processing apparatus 10 as an ID card.

  Here, when the user of the information processing apparatus 10 does not enter any of the communication areas E1 to EN, the short-range communication unit 15 does not receive the identification signal transmitted from the beacon, and thus the position determination The unit 23 does not read the position corresponding to the received identification signal from the position table PT. When the position determination unit 23 does not determine the position of the information processing apparatus 10, the control unit 21 reads two specified contents YC and LC that are not associated with any position from the content table CT. Any one of the contents YC and LC is displayed on the display unit 12. Then, every time the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 and the displacement determination unit 22 determines the shake, the control unit 21 alternately displays the contents YC and LC on the display unit 12.

  Therefore, when the user of the information processing apparatus 10 has not entered the communication area, each time the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10, two contents YC and LC that are not associated with any position are displayed on the display unit 12. Are displayed alternately.

  For example, when the user of the information processing apparatus 10 has entered the communication area E1, the short-range communication unit 15 receives the identification signal transmitted from the beacon B1 in the communication area E1, and the position determination unit 23 The position P1 corresponding to the received identification signal is read from the position table PT, and the read position P1 is determined as the position of the information processing apparatus 10. The control unit 21 reads the content C1 associated with the determined position P1 and the two prescribed contents YC and LC not associated with any position from the content table CT, and the displacement determination unit 22 shakes the content. Is determined, the content C1 associated with the two prescribed contents YC and LC and the position P1 is sequentially switched and displayed on the display unit 12.

  Therefore, when the user of the information processing apparatus 10 has entered the communication area E1, each time the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10, as shown in FIG. 10, two specified contents YC, LC and position P1 are displayed. The associated content C1 is sequentially and cyclically switched and displayed on the display unit 12.

  When the user of the information processing apparatus 10 has entered another communication area, each time the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10, the two specified contents YC and LC and the beacon positions of the other communication areas are located. The associated contents are sequentially and cyclically switched and displayed on the display unit 12.

  Next, a processing procedure for switching the content displayed on the display unit 12 in accordance with a swing operation of the information processing apparatus 10 by such a user will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the user hangs the strap ST of the information processing apparatus 10 on his / her neck, hangs the information processing apparatus 10 and turns on the switch of the information processing apparatus 10 to activate the information processing apparatus 10 (S101). When the information processing apparatus 10 is activated, the control unit 21 reads, for example, one specified content YC from the content table CT, and displays the one specified content YC on the display unit 12 (S102).

  In this state, the control unit 21 waits for the shake determination of the information processing apparatus 10 by the displacement determination unit 22 (S103 “No”). In the state where the information processing apparatus 10 is suspended from the user's neck, the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken with the user's movement, but the shaking is small, and the detection signals XS, YS, and ZS of the acceleration sensor 16 are The first threshold value is not exceeded, and the detection signals HS and VS of the respective angular velocity sensors 17 do not exceed the second threshold value, so that the displacement determining unit 22 does not determine the shake of the information processing apparatus 10. And

  Here, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with his / her hand, the detection signals XS, YS, and ZS of the acceleration sensor 16 exceed the first threshold, or the detection signals HS and VS of the angular velocity sensors 17 are the first. Exceeding the two threshold values, the displacement determination unit 22 determines the shake of the information processing apparatus 10 (S103 “Yes”). When the shake of the information processing apparatus 10 is determined, the control unit 21 determines whether the position determination unit 23 determines the position of the information processing apparatus 10 (S104).

  At this time, if the user of the information processing apparatus 10 does not enter any of the communication areas E1 to EN, and the position of the information processing apparatus 10 is not determined by the position determination unit 23 (step S104 “No”), The control unit 21 reads the other specified content LC from the content table CT, displays the other content LC on the display unit 12, and displays the content from one specified content YC to the other specified content LC. Switching (S105).

  Thereafter, in a state where the position determination unit 23 has not determined the position of the information processing apparatus 10 (“No” in step S104), the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10, and the displacement determination unit 22 causes the information processing apparatus 10 to shake. Each time it is determined (S103 “Yes”), the two specified contents YC and LC are alternately displayed on the display unit 12 (step S105).

  When the displacement determination unit 22 determines the shake of the information processing apparatus 10 (S103 “Yes”), the position determination unit 23 determines the position of the information processing apparatus 10 (S104 “Yes”). ). For example, when the user of the information processing apparatus 10 has entered the communication area E1, the short-range communication unit 15 receives the identification signal transmitted from the beacon B1 in the communication area E1, and the position determination unit 23 receives the identification signal. The position P1 corresponding to the identified signal is read from the position table PT, and the read position P1 is determined as the position of the information processing apparatus 10. The control unit 21 reads and acquires the content C1 associated with the determined position P1 from the content table CT (S106).

  Then, the control unit 21 sets the display order of the content C1 associated with the position P1 to the display order subsequent to the two specified contents YC and LC, and the time when the displacement determination unit 22 determines the shake (S103 “Yes”). ]), The content in the display order next to the content displayed on the display unit 12 is displayed on the display unit 12 (S107). For example, if the specified content YC is displayed at that time, the specified content LC in the next display order is displayed. If the specified content LC is displayed at that time, the next display order is displayed. The content C1 associated with the position P1 is displayed.

  Thereafter, the control unit 21 determines whether or not the position of the information processing apparatus 10 determined by the position determination unit 23 has changed (S108), and the deflection of the information processing apparatus 10 by the displacement determination unit 22 is repeated. The determination is waited (S109).

  For example, the position of the information processing apparatus 10 determined by the position determination unit 23 does not change (S108 “No”), the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10, and the displacement determination unit 22 determines whether the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken. When it is done (S109 “Yes”), the control unit 21 selects the content of the next display order from the content C1 associated with the two specified contents YC and LC and the position P1, and selects the selected content. The content is displayed on the display unit 12, and the display of the content is switched (S110). For example, if the specified content LC is displayed, the content C1 associated with the position P1 of the next display order is displayed. If the content C1 is displayed, the next display order is specified. Content YC is displayed.

  Thereafter, when the position of the information processing apparatus 10 determined by the position determination unit 23 does not change (S108 “No”), the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 and the displacement determination unit 22 shakes the information processing apparatus 10. Each time the determination is made (S109 “Yes”), the two specified contents YC and LC and the contents C1 associated with the position P1 are cyclically switched and displayed sequentially on the display unit 12 (step S110).

  Further, when the user of the information processing apparatus 10 goes out of the communication area E1 or moves to another communication area, the control unit 21 determines that the position of the information processing apparatus 10 determined by the position determination unit 23 has changed. (S108 “Yes”), one of the two prescribed contents YC and LC is displayed on the display unit 12, and the process returns to S102.

  As described above, in the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, when the user of the information processing apparatus 10 has entered the communication area of the beacon, each time the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10, two prescribed contents YC, The contents associated with the LC and the position of the beacon are sequentially and cyclically switched and displayed on the display unit 12. Therefore, only by performing a simple operation of shaking the information processing apparatus 10, it is possible to switch and display the two specified contents and the contents corresponding to the position of the information processing apparatus 10.

  In the above embodiment, one content is set in association with the position of the information processing apparatus 10 (beacon position), but a plurality of contents may be set. In this case, each time the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10, the specified content and each content associated with the position of the information processing apparatus 10 are sequentially switched and displayed.

  In the above embodiment, the identification signal transmitted from the beacon is received by the information processing apparatus 10, and the position of the beacon corresponding to the received identification signal is determined as the position of the information processing apparatus 10. A GPS receiving unit that receives each GPS signal transmitted from the GPS satellite and a determination unit that determines the position of the information processing device 10 based on these GPS signals to determine the position of the information processing device 10 Also good. In this case, the content corresponding to the position of the information processing apparatus 10 determined based on the GPS signal is read from the content table and displayed on the display unit 12.
