Processing for establishing a call between the communication devices 150 in the first embodiment will be described below. FIG. 7 is a flow chart of a call establishment process between the call devices 150 in the first embodiment. As a premise for performing the call establishment process, it is assumed that a user who makes a call using the communication device 150 has been registered as a user. This user registration is performed, for example, by storing the identification information of the communication device 150 in the user table in the storage unit 201 of the server 200. It is realized by The server 200 or the calling device 150 controls calls between registered users by referring to the user table as appropriate. This call control is performed through, for example, a user starting a call control program in the call device 150 of each user.

As shown in FIG. 7, first, in order to start a call, the user extracts call-party candidate users in order to designate a call-party through the communication device 150 (S1001). Specifically, the calling device 150 refers to the user table stored in the server 200 through the data processing device 110 , extracts a candidate user to be called, and displays the user name of the extracted user on the display unit 154 . The user table has a configuration as shown in FIG. 8, for example, and stores user names, user IDs, friend user IDs, and affiliated group IDs in association with each other.
The user table is not limited to such a configuration, and any element may be added. For example, an icon or image corresponding to each user may be registered in addition to the above contents.

The user name is the name registered by the user, for example, the name that is displayed to the other party as the other party during a call. A user ID is a unique identifier given to each user.

A friend user ID is a user ID of a user registered as a friend user for each user, and a friend user is, for example, one that can be selected as a call partner candidate at the start of a call, or can be preferentially selected. It is.

The belonging group ID indicates the identifier of the group to which the user belongs, and the group means a group including a plurality of users. If a user belongs to a group, for example, a call (group call) can be made between members belonging to the group. Each group is managed by a group table. The group table has, for example, a configuration as shown in FIG. 9, and stores group names, group IDs, affiliated user IDs, and whether or not the channel is an open channel in association with each other.

The group name is the name of the group, for example, the name displayed as the call channel name when a group call is being made.

The belonging user ID is the user ID of the user belonging to each group.

Whether the group is open or closed means that if the group is open, it is a group that any user can freely join. Conversely, if the group is not open (closed), it means that certain conditions must be met in order to participate in the group. Predetermined conditions include, for example, a user whose participation is approved by a member of the group, a user whose driving score satisfies a predetermined condition, and the like.

Note that the group table is not limited to such a configuration, and arbitrary elements may be added. For example, in addition to the above contents, icons and images corresponding to each group, descriptions of each group, etc. may be registered. may be

Next, it is determined whether or not it is possible to talk with the extracted call partner candidate user (S1003). Whether or not the call is possible is determined according to whether or not the candidate user of the other party of the call satisfies a predetermined condition at that time. Then, the caller candidate user detected as uncommunicable (S1003; N) is displayed on the display unit 154 in a non-selectable manner, that is, in a manner in which the selection operation by the user is not accepted (S1004). On the other hand, the caller candidate users detected as available for communication (S1003; Y) are displayed in a selectable manner on the display unit 154 (S1005).

Here, the predetermined condition is, for example, at least one of the following. Furthermore, the condition may be an appropriate combination of these conditions.
- The candidate user of the other party is not in a state (for example, "busy") in which he/she intends to make a call on his/her telephone device 150. No event is set in the linked schedule information ・The speed of the moving body 100 driven by the candidate user to be called is equal to or less than a predetermined value ・The total driving score (area The driving score calculated without limitation) is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.・The driving score in the area corresponding to the location information of the candidate user to be called is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. This predetermined condition is set by a person such as an administrator of the moving body 100, a discriminator obtained by machine learning, etc., and can be changed according to the situation. is preferred.

Then, the calling device 150 receives a user input for selecting a calling party from the users who are calling party candidate users and who are detected as available for calling (S1007). At this time, one or more users may be selected. Alternatively, it may be user input to select a group to initiate a group call. In the case of a user input for selecting a group, it is preferable to allow selection if at least a predetermined number (for example, one) of the users included in the group can talk. After that, the communication device 150 transmits the user ID or group ID of the selected user to the server 200 (S1009), and the server 200 connects the communication device 150 and the communication device 150 corresponding to the received user ID or group ID. communication connection is permitted (S1011).

Here, in connection with determining whether a call is possible or not based on the driving score, the calculation of the driving score based on the mobile object information and the call control according to the driving score are described below. I will explain the details.

[Calculation of driving score based on mobile object information]
As described above, the data processing device 110 transmits to the server 200 the acceleration information and position information acquired by each functional unit (for example, the acceleration information acquisition unit 113 and the position information acquisition unit 114). These pieces of information are acquired at a predetermined cycle (for example, acceleration information is 0.2 seconds, position information is 1.0 seconds), and are linked with information related to the acquired time (hereinafter referred to as time stamp), and sent to the server. sent. Furthermore, each device (for example, the tire information acquisition device 120, the vehicle interior information acquisition device 130, and the fuel information acquisition device 140) provided in the moving body 100 acquires tire information, vehicle interior information, and fuel information, respectively. The received information is transmitted to the server 200 via the data processing device 110 . These pieces of information are also acquired at predetermined intervals (for example, tire information is 10.0 seconds, in-vehicle information is 5.0 seconds, and fuel information is 15.0 seconds), and are similarly associated with time stamps and sent each time. Alternatively, after being accumulated in each device, it may be transmitted based on a predetermined trigger (for example, every 5 minutes, every engine stop, etc.).
The information acquired about the mobile object 100 in this way is called mobile object information.

The transmitted mobile unit information is accumulated in the storage unit 201 of the server 200 . In accumulating mobile information, identification information for distinguishing which mobile 100 or which device acquired it, for example, identification information of data processing device 110 or mobile 100 that is the transmission source, or identification information of each device and a string. stored with the The identification information includes, for example, the MAC address of the second communication unit 112 of the data processing device 110, and the mobile object 100, the data processing device 110, each device provided in the mobile object 100, or the user can be identified. It is not particularly limited as long as it is a substance. Moreover, it is good also as stringing with several identification information instead of stringing with one identification information of these.
Alternatively, when the mobile information is transmitted to the server 200, the identification information of each device may be associated with the time stamp and transmitted. In this case, it is preferable that a table linking the identification information of each device with the identification information of the data processing device 110 or the moving object 100 or each device is stored in the storage unit 201 in a referable manner.

The processing unit 203 of the server 200 refers to the accumulated mobile body information and identifies mobile body information corresponding to the mobile body 100 for which the driving score is to be calculated. Also, at this time, for example, if the conditions for calculating the driving score, such as period and area, are separately set, the corresponding moving body information is specified using time stamps and position information. The moving body information specified in this way is processed using the driving score calculation program stored in the storage unit 201, and the driving score is obtained as the output.

The driving score is, for example, a score of driving quality. A specific example is logic that tends to lower the driving score when acceleration with a large scalar value is measured. is.

In the first embodiment, the driving score is output as an integer value between 0 and 100, for example, and the larger the value, the better the driving quality. Of course, the driving score is not limited to such a form, and may be output based on an arbitrary set of numbers within an arbitrarily set range, and a smaller value may mean better driving quality. . Further, the calculated driving score is not limited to one dimension, and may be a multi-dimensional output value corresponding to a plurality of arbitrary elements.

[Call control according to driving score]

Further, in the following explanation, it is assumed that this call includes at least user A who drives the mobile object 100, and call control is performed in the communication device 150 owned by user A according to the driving score of user A. shall be

As shown in FIG. 10, the processing unit 203 of the server 200 is based on the mobile body information of the mobile body 100 driven by the user A (for example, based on the position information and the acceleration information included in the mobile body information for a predetermined period in the past). ), the driving score of user A in the peripheral area adjacent to the area where user A is located is calculated (S1021).

The processing unit 203 determines whether or not all of the driving scores of user A calculated for each region satisfy a predetermined condition (S1023). Examples of the predetermined condition include, but not limited to, whether the driving score is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (for example, whether the threshold is 70 points and whether the driving score in each area is equal to or greater than 70 points). If the driving score in all of the surrounding areas satisfies the predetermined condition (S1023; Y), after a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) has passed from the execution of step S1021 or after driving for a predetermined distance (for example, 5 km). In (S1029), the process returns to step S1021 to repeat the call control process.

If there is a driving score that does not satisfy a predetermined condition, for example, if there is an area where the driving score is less than 70 points (S1023; N), the area that does not satisfy the predetermined condition (hereinafter referred to as area Z) Upon entering, the fact that the call is disconnected is displayed on the display unit 154 of the communication device 150 to notify the user A (S1024).

After that, it is determined whether or not the moving body 100 has entered the area Z based on the position information included in the moving body information (S1025). When it is determined that the moving body 100 has entered the area Z (S1025; Y), the communication device 150 disconnects the call by the user A (S1027). If it is determined that the vehicle has not entered the area Z (S1025; N), it is determined whether or not the vehicle has left the area Z by a predetermined distance or more (S1026). The process proceeds to step S1029. Conversely, if it is determined that the vehicle is not separated (S1026; N), the process returns to step S1025 and the determination of whether or not the area Z has been entered is repeated.

Here, in step S1021, the driving score in the surrounding area is to be calculated. , the calculated scores may be stored in the storage unit 201 of the server 200 for a predetermined period (for example, one week), and the already calculated driving scores may be appropriately referred to, thereby omitting recalculation. That is, the calculated driving score may be stored as a cache in the storage unit 201 of the server 200 for a predetermined period so that it can be referenced. However, the calculated driving score and the calculated date and time are linked and stored, and if the calculated date and time is older than a predetermined period (for example, one month), the driving score is newly calculated regardless of the existence of the cache. It is preferable to calculate and refer to the latest driving score.

Also, the notification in step S1024 is not limited to the display on display unit 154 . For example, the disconnection may be notified by outputting an announcement sound from the voice output unit 153 or by vibrating the steering wheel or the driver's seat of the moving body 100, and the form thereof is not particularly limited.

Also, the area may be distinguished by city area, mountain road, highway, or by municipality, and the manner of the area is not particularly limited. For example, if a mobile object 100 driven by user A is located in P town, and areas within a predetermined distance (for example, within 10 km) from the location of the mobile object 100 are Q city and R town, A driving score for a predetermined period in the past in Q city and R town is calculated. Further, the distinction is not limited to the characteristics of roads, geographical names, etc., but may be the distinction based on a predetermined size, for example, an area divided by 10 km square.

In addition, call control is performed according to the driving score based on the moving body information in the past driving. Calls may be uniformly prohibited until mobile unit information is accumulated, or conversely, calls may be uniformly permitted. Furthermore, a driving score to be used as a reference may be set separately, for example, based on the user's driving score in other areas or a comprehensive driving score calculated from the user's driving details without limiting the area. , may decide whether to allow or disallow the call.

In addition, the criteria for determining whether to permit or prohibit a call is not limited to the driving score of the user who is the caller, but also the driving score calculated including the mobile information of other mobiles (hereinafter referred to as the general driving score). Calling) may be included in the determination. That is, in the target area, the determination may be made in consideration of at least one of the quality of driving by user A and the quality of driving by other users.

In addition, if it is determined that the driver has left area Z within a certain period of time (for example, 5 minutes) after disconnecting the call and has entered an area with a driving score that permits talking, control is performed to resume the call. You may In this case, when it is determined that it is likely to leave the area Z in a short time (that is, it is within a predetermined distance from the area Z), or when it is determined that it has left the area Z, the display unit 154 It is preferable to give some kind of notification to user A, such as displaying that the call will be resumed.

Interfaces displayed on the display unit 154 of the communication device 150 in the call establishment process, the call control process, and the call resumption process will be described below.

FIG. 11 shows an example of an interface displayed on the display unit 154 in the call establishment process.
As shown in FIG. 11, the interface is made up of areas 9501, 9502, 9503 and 9504. In FIG.

An area 9501 indicates user information using the communication device 150, and displays the name as the user name and an icon corresponding to the user. As the user name, the user name registered in the user table may be used as it is, or the user using the communication device 150 may set the user name as appropriate. For example, it is also possible to use a nickname or the like. Similarly, the icon may be an image registered in the user table, or may be appropriately set by the user using the communication device 150 .

Area 9502 displays information about the user's business. The left side indicates the presence or absence of business notifications by e-mail, etc., and indicates that there are three new arrival notifications. By performing a selection operation such as tapping the area on the left side, the notification content can be confirmed. The right side shows the contents of the most recent schedule at the present time and the time until the schedule.

Area 9503 indicates the call state. At present, it indicates that a group call has been made for 3 hours with a total of 7 members including 3 persons indicated by the icon, 3 other persons, and the user himself/herself. Note that when the user's call is being controlled (for example, the driving score does not satisfy a predetermined condition in the area where the user is driving), information regarding the control state may be displayed.

A region 9504 displays the other party's user who is allowed to make a call in the communication device 150 and the user status. The icon and user name of the other user are displayed on the left side, and the user status is displayed on the right side.

The user status indicates the status of the user and whether or not it is possible to make calls. For example, "Driving" written in bold indicates that the user is driving a mobile object at that time and can make a call using his/her own communication device 150 . Also, "Driving [not allowed to talk]" indicates that the user is driving a mobile object at that time and the user is not allowed to talk using his/her own communication device 150. FIG. Here, the fact that a call is not permitted means, for example, a state in which a call is disconnected because the driving score does not satisfy a predetermined condition in the region where the mobile body 100 is being driven by the call control processing, or A state in which the user cannot make a call regardless of the user's intention, such as when the administrator has set the user to not allow calls (for example, calls are not allowed in urban areas). Also, "Driving [Busy]" means that the user is driving a mobile object at that time, but the user does not intend to make a call using the communication device 150. indicates Here, the state in which a call is not intended means, for example, a state in which the user has set the communication device 150 through the operation unit 155 to be unable to make a call, or a state in which the user has set the communication device 150 to the storage unit. 157 (or the storage unit 203 of the server 200), the time when an event (for example, the scheduled time of delivery work) is occurring. It refers to a state in which settings have been made to prevent In addition, "No Driving" written in bold means that the user is not driving a mobile object at that time and the user's calling device 150 or a device linked to the same user's account (for example, Indicate that you can make a call through your office PC, etc.).

Although not shown in FIG. 11 , other patterns such as “No Driving [Busy]” indicate that the user is not driving the mobile object at that time and is making a call. Indicates a state that is not intended to be Similarly, "No Driving" indicates that the user is not driving a mobile object at that time and calls are not allowed.

Next, an interface displayed on the display unit 154 in the call control process will be described. FIG. 12 shows an example of an interface displayed on the display unit 154 in call control processing.
The interface shown in FIG. 12 includes areas 9501, 9502, 9503 and 9504, as in FIG. It should be noted that the information indicating each area except for the area 9503 is the same as that of each area in the call establishment process, so the description thereof will be omitted.

If there is a driving score that does not satisfy the predetermined condition in step S1023 (S1023; N), that is, if area Z exists, the user is notified that the call will be disconnected, as shown in FIG. (S1024), the processing unit 156 of the communication device 150 controls the display unit 154 to display that fact in the area 9503. FIG. At this time, the server 200 or the communication device 150 stores the distance to the area Z (the physical distance on the map is acceptable, but the shortest distance on the route along which the mobile body can move is preferable) and its direction to the position information at that time. and displayed in area 9503 including the distance information and direction information.

Next, an interface displayed on the display unit 154 in the call resuming process will be described. FIG. 13 is an example of an interface displayed on the display unit 154 in the call resuming process.
The interface shown in FIG. 13 includes areas 9501, 9502, 9503 and 9504, as in FIG. It should be noted that the information indicating each area except for the area 9503 is the same as that of each area in the call establishment process, so the description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, if the server 200 determines that the moving body 100 has left the area Z and entered an area that satisfies a predetermined condition within a predetermined period of time after the call is disconnected in step S1027, then in step S1027, if the server 200 determines that the mobile body 100 has left the area Z and entered an area that satisfies the predetermined conditions. It is also possible to automatically resume the call that has been made up to. At this time, in order to notify the user of the remaining time during which the call can be resumed, as shown in FIG. is counted, and information on the remaining time for the time when the call can be automatically resumed is displayed in the area 9503 .

In the above description, the communication device 150 is assumed to be a smartphone. It may be realized, or it may be realized as a head-up display, and its form is not particularly limited. Here, the head-up display is a display that projects an image or video onto a windshield or a combiner so that the occupants of a moving vehicle can view it. An example of an interface when the head-up display function is used in the calling device 150 will be described below.

FIG. 14 shows an example of an interface displayed by the display unit 154 of the communication device 150 having a head-up display function.
The interface shown in FIG. 14 comprises areas 9502 and 9503 .

An area 3502 displays information about the user's business, like the area 9502 in FIG. 11 and the like. However, in the example shown in FIG. 14, due to the nature of the head-up display, the displayed information is simplified so as not to hinder the driver's view of the outside of the moving object as much as possible. schedule and the time to that schedule.

An area 3503 indicates a call state, like the area 9503 in FIG. 11 and the like. As in the case of the area 3502, the information to be displayed in the area 3503 is preferably omitted so as not to hinder the driver's view of the outside as much as possible due to the nature of the head-up display.

In addition, when the display unit 154 of the communication device 150 is realized with a head-up display function, for example, it is preferable that the audio input unit 152, the audio output unit 153, and the operation unit 155 are configured to appropriately correspond to the head-up display function. . In the example shown in FIG. 14, a microphone is provided at the center of the driving handle as the voice input unit 152, speakers are provided on the left and right sides of the driver's seat (for example, the door portion) as the voice output unit 153, and the outer edge of the driving handle is provided as the operation unit 155. buttons are provided on the left and right sides of the
By configuring in this way, it is possible to make a call and an operation related to the call without significantly impeding the driver's view and operation.

Note that the operation unit 155 may be configured integrally with the voice input unit 152 . That is, the operation may be made possible by voice input. For example, speech recognition may be used to select a call partner or call channel, disconnect a call, and the like.

A second embodiment according to the present invention will be described below. The second embodiment is processing when there are a plurality of callers who use the communication device to talk while riding in a moving object, and the callers include the driver and non-drivers.

An overview of the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of each part provided in a moving body 300, which is a vehicle in which a driver and a non-driver who are talking on the phone ride.
A mobile body 300 shown in FIG. 15 includes a data processing device 310 , a tire information acquisition device 320 , an in-vehicle information acquisition device 330 , a fuel information acquisition device 340 and a communication device 350 .

The data processing device 310, the tire information acquisition device 320, the vehicle interior information acquisition device 330, and the fuel information acquisition device 340 are similar to the data processing device 110, the tire information acquisition device 120, the vehicle interior information acquisition device 130, and the fuel in the first embodiment. Since the configuration is the same as that of the information acquisition device 140, the description thereof is omitted.

The communication device 350 has the same configuration as the communication device 150 in the first embodiment. It should be noted that the mobile body 300 is provided with at least two communication devices 350, one of which is called a communication device 350A and the other is called a communication device 350B. Here, it is assumed that the communication device 350A is used by the driver riding the mobile object 300, and the communication device 350B is used by the non-driver riding the mobile object 300. FIG.

Call control processing in the call device 350 in the second embodiment, which is different from the first embodiment, will be described below. Note that the call establishment processing and call resuming processing in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart of call control processing in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, first, it is determined whether or not the user making the call using the communication device 350 is the driver (S2021). As a method of identifying whether the user is the driver or not, as an example and not a limitation, when the user gets on the moving body 300, the user performs call processing installed in the communication device 350 to determine whether the user is the driver or not. By inputting this into the program (application), the call processing program registers the driver in the driver table stored in the storage unit 201 of the server 200 . Also, when the user gets off the vehicle 300, it is preferable that the user registers that he or she will get off via the call processing program (cancels registration as a driver).

Of course, the identification method is not limited to the above method. For example, in the case where a plurality of users are on board the mobile object 300 and one of them registers through the call processing program that he is the driver, other users on the same mobile object 300 may automatically be registered as a non-driver. At this time, determination of whether or not the user is on board the moving body 300 is based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit of the data processing device 310 provided on the moving body 300 and the If the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit (not shown) is substantially the same, it may be determined that the user is boarding the vehicle. is stored (information related to connection with the data processing device 310 is registered in the communication device 350, for example, a set of access point name and password is registered), and when the corresponding connection is made in the communication device 350, a call is made. It is very good that the processing program is started and prompts the user to register whether he is the driver or not.

Furthermore, in the case where the communication device 350 is provided integrally with the mobile body 300, driver authentication (for example, face authentication, fingerprint authentication, etc.) is performed at the time of starting the engine, etc., thereby recognizing the driver. By doing so, driver registration may be performed.

In addition, it is determined that the driving of the moving object 300 has ended (for example, based on the displacement of the position information), the user terminates the call processing program, or the user is no longer the driver. , or the user who is a non-driver registers as a driver. In this case, the information indicating that the user is the driver is deleted from the driver table in the storage unit 201 of the server 20 .

When it is determined in step S2021 that the user is the driver (S2021; Y), that is, when it is determined that the user is using the communication device 350A, the call control process in the first embodiment is executed. The same processing as after step S1023 is performed. When it is determined that the user is a non-driver (S2021; N), that is, when it is determined that the user is using the communication device 350B, the user is registered as a driver of the same moving body 300. It is determined whether or not the user is currently talking using the communication device 350A (S2023). If the user who is the driver is on the phone (S2023; Y), the process proceeds to step S2025. If the user who is the driver is not on the phone (S2023; N), the process of step S2023 is performed again after a certain period of time has elapsed.

In step S2025, it is determined whether or not the communication on the communication device 350B and the communication on the communication device 350A by the user who is the driver are being conducted on the same channel. Talking on the same channel means, for example, that they are talking to each other or talking on the same group channel. Here, if the same channel is used for communication (S2025; Y), at least one of the audio input unit and the audio output unit is shared between the communication devices 350A and 350B (S2026). That is, for example, the function of the voice input unit of at least one of the communication device 350A and the communication device 350B is disabled (including substantial disabling, for example, the sound collection function is significantly reduced), and the voice of another one is disabled. Both the driver's and non-driver's voices are input centering on the input unit, and/or the function of the audio output unit of at least one of the communication device 350A and the communication device 350B is disabled (substantially disabled, For example, the output volume is considerably reduced), and the audio is output mainly from another audio output unit. By doing so, it is possible to output the same sound at different timings from a plurality of sound output units within the moving object 300, or to directly hear what the fellow passenger is saying while the same sound is output from the sound output unit with a delay. It is possible to avoid the confusion of the call due to the voice being output and being heard.

It is preferable that the voice input unit and/or the voice output unit to be invalidated (including substantial invalidation; hereinafter the same) are those on the communication device 350B side. This is because the sudden switching of the functions of the communication device 350A used by the driver may adversely affect the driving operation of the driver.

In step S2025, if the same channel is not used for communication (S2025; N), communication device 350B notifies the user that it is recommended to wear a headset via the display unit or the like (S2027). Since calls on different channels occur within the same mobile object 300, at least one of the driver and the non-driver unintentionally hears the call on the other channel, which can lead to confusion. can be avoided.
Here, the headset is a device that is worn on the head and has an audio input unit and an audio output unit. It functions instead. Usually, headsets are structured so that only the person wearing the headset can hear the sound output only in the vicinity of the headset. The structure is such that it picks up sounds emitted only in the vicinity of the set.

In step S2027, the notification to the effect that wearing a headset is recommended is made, but the recommendation is not limited to wearing a headset. The purpose of recommending wearing a headset is to avoid confusion in a call due to mixed output of different channel sounds within the same mobile object. Therefore, it functions as a substitute for the audio output unit of the communication device 350B, and is an audio output device that can concentrate and output audio output near the user (especially near the ear) (for example, earphones, Headphones) is not particularly limited. It should be noted that it is desirable that the earpiece can be worn in such a manner as to block the ear (external auditory canal) of the non-driver. Alternatively, an upper limit may be set for the volume of the audio output units of both the communication device 350A and the communication device 350B (for example, if the output audio exceeds a range with a radius of 1 m, the upper limit may be set to a level below 50 dB). .
Also, from the viewpoint of voice input, this is to avoid confusion in the call due to voice input of an unintended caller (driver or non-driver) to a different channel. Therefore, there is no particular limitation as long as it is a voice input device that functions as a substitute for the voice input unit of the communication device 350B and is capable of collecting sound near the user (especially near the mouth). It should be noted that it is preferable to use a voice input device (for example, a head microphone, a pin microphone, etc.) having directional characteristics capable of collecting voices in the vicinity of the voice input device with high sensitivity.
That is, it is recommended to wear a headset, it is recommended to use an audio output device that can concentrate and output audio output near the user, and it is possible to collect sound in the vicinity of the user. At least one of the recommendations to use the voice input device may be notified.

Here, in step S2027, it was explained that the communication device 350B side is notified that it is recommended to wear a headset. . Alternatively, both the communication device 350A and the communication device 350B may be notified.

After the process of step S2026 or step S2027 is completed, the process returns to step S2023 after a certain period of time has elapsed, and the subsequent processes are performed again.

[Modification]
Modifications of the above embodiment will be described.

In the description of the above embodiment, the application related to call processing is activated by the user starting the program related to call control on the calling device, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the network information of the data processing device (for example, Wi-Fi host name and password) is pre-stored in the storage unit of the communication device, and when the communication device detects information corresponding to the stored network information, the network When the connection is made, an application related to call processing may be automatically activated or the user may be prompted to activate it. Alternatively, if the communication device is fixedly installed in a mobile object, the application related to call processing may be activated upon activation of the mobile object (for example, engine start).

In the above description of the embodiment, it is described that determination and processing related to call control are mainly performed by the server 200, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, while the processing unit 203 of the server 200 makes decisions regarding control of the call, the corresponding processing (for example, connection of the call, disconnection of the call, resumption of the call, etc.) is sent from the processing unit 203 of the server 200. In response to the trigger information, the processing unit 156 of the communication device to be processed may perform the judgment and processing related to the control of the communication, referring to the information stored in the storage unit 201 of the server 200. It may be performed by the processing unit 156 of the communication device. Alternatively, while referring to the information stored in the storage unit 201 of the server 200, the processing unit 156 of the communication device and the processing unit of the communication device of the other party of the communication device for which communication is to be controlled cooperate. Alternatively, the processing unit of the communication device of the other party of the user's call may control the call by the user.
In addition, when the call is controlled by each communication device, it is preferable to store the log information in the storage unit 201 or the like of the server 200 after the control is performed.

In the above description of the second embodiment, the determination as to whether or not the driver is the driver is made based on the information input by the user, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be estimated from the past driver's history of the moving object. Specifically, for example, if the user who was the driver gets on the mobile again and starts the call processing application within a predetermined period before the execution of step S2021, the user is determined to be the driver. Alternatively, the driver may be presumed to be the driver and the user may be asked to confirm. Alternatively, if vehicle insurance information (including user information to which vehicle insurance is applicable) is registered in the server, and a certain user gets on the vehicle and starts the call processing application, the vehicle insurance If the information is referred to and the user is a user to whom vehicle insurance can be applied, the user may be determined to be the driver, or the user may be presumed to be the driver and confirmed by the user. good. Note that when a user who does not match the vehicle insurance information is input as the driver, as a warning, for example, a warning display on the display unit of the user's communication device 350A or an announcement regarding the warning from the voice output unit may be output. may be

In the above description of the second embodiment, in step S2027, if the driver and the non-driver are on different communication channels, a notification is sent to the non-driver to recommend wearing a headset. In the background, when both the driver and the non-driver are talking and the non-driver is wearing a headset, it was detected that the headset worn by the non-driver was disconnected from the intercom. In some cases, the call by the non-driver may be disconnected, or at least one of the voice input and voice output may be disabled while maintaining the call. By doing so, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of howling or to avoid the mixture of calls. Furthermore, it is preferable to notify the other party of the call that the headset has been disconnected.

In addition, when the communication device is not fixedly provided with the mobile body, such as a smartphone, the notification by the display unit, or the operation on the operation unit, if the user is a non-driver, the notification by the display unit , the manual operation of the operation unit is permitted, and if the user is the driver, the manual operation is preferably prohibited. Further, when the user is a driver, the operation on the operation unit may be permitted only by voice input in conjunction with the voice input unit. Furthermore, for example, manual operation may not be permitted until a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds) has elapsed since the vehicle was parked.

In the description of the above embodiment, the communication is controlled according to the user's own driving situation, and the content of the control is displayed on the display unit of the communication device, but the displayed content is limited to this. do not have. For example, the call status may be displayed on the display unit according to the driving status of the user who is the other party of the call. For example, if it is determined in step S1023 that a certain user does not satisfy the predetermined condition (S1023; N), the display of the telephone device of the user who is the other party of the call indicates that the user will soon be unable to make a call. It is also possible to display that the situation exists.

In the description of the above embodiment, the data acquired from each device installed in the mobile body is temporarily transmitted to the server, and the data on the server is referred to for control, but the control method is limited to this. do not have. For example, the call device may acquire acceleration information and position information acquired by the data processing device, and control the call based on at least one of the acquired acceleration information and position information. In this case, as control of the call, for example, when it is determined that an acceleration greater than a predetermined value has occurred, the call may be cut off or temporarily interrupted. A notification may be made to the effect that an accident has occurred or that dangerous driving has been performed.

In the description of the above-described embodiment, an example of calculating the driving score for each area and controlling the call based on the calculated driving score was shown. A distinction may be made. For example, call control may be performed according to properties such as weather and time of day. As a specific example, in the weather, for example, a driving score is calculated according to each type of weather, such as sunny, cloudy, and rainy, and changes in the weather are estimated from weather forecasts, etc., or according to actual changes in the weather. In the time zone, for example, the driving score is calculated according to each time zone, such as early morning, daytime, evening, and nighttime, and the call is controlled according to the change in time. good. Of course, these categories may be combined to control calls.

In the above description of the embodiment, an example was given in which the user made a call through one call channel using the call device. For example, while participating in a call channel for two-way communication with a friend user, it may be superimposed on another call channel at the same time. For example, a call channel for transmitting music, traffic information, etc. may be superimposed on a call channel for a friend user and output as voice. In this case, the control related to the communication channel for transmitting music, traffic information, etc. and the control related to the communication of the communication channel with the friend user may be performed based on different conditions. For example, under conditions where a call is disconnected, by varying the corresponding driving score threshold, the communication channel with the friend user is controlled, while the communication channel that conveys music, traffic information, etc. is output as is. may be

Therefore, in the description of the above embodiment, it is determined in step S2025 whether or not the call channel for the call of the call device 350A and the call channel for the call of the call device 350B are the same. If the call channel for the call of the call device 350B is included in a plurality of call channels for the call of the call device 350A, the processing in step S2026 may be similarly performed.

As an example of a call channel for conveying music, traffic information, etc., there may be a call channel for conveying commercials related to driving areas. This commercial call channel transmits commercials according to the location information of mobile units, for example. Also, by registering this call channel as a friend or listening to it for a certain period of time, benefits (for example, distribution of coupons, awarding of reward points, etc.) may be given to the user. Further, the notification of information through the commercial communication channel is not limited to voice, and may be displayed on the display of the communication device.

In the above description of the second embodiment, the user of the communication device is specified as a non-driver, and the communication channel in the communication by the communication device used by the non-driver and the communication by the communication device used by the driver We have discussed disabling the function of either audio input unit and/or audio output unit when the channels in Not limited. For example, the present invention may be applied to a case where there are two non-drivers riding in a moving body and both of them are talking with each other using a communication device. In this case, it does not matter which of the communication devices having the voice input section and/or the voice output section to be disabled uses, and the target to be disabled may be determined based on a preset priority. good. For example, the communication device 350 installed in the mobile object 300 is considered to effectively function for voice input and output in the entire cabin of the mobile object 300. may be set in advance to have a higher priority than .

In the description of the above-described embodiment, an example of controlling the call by the communication device based on at least the driving score was shown, but the information referred to for controlling the call is not limited to the driving score. For example, the call may be controlled based on information obtained from a device provided in the mobile body or information about the situation surrounding the mobile body. When the information satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, the tire tread is 1.6 mm or less), the call is interrupted and a warning sound is emitted from the voice output unit, or a traffic jam is occurring in the surrounding area. If it is determined, control may be performed such as permitting the call even if the score in the area where the mobile object is located does not satisfy a predetermined condition for making the call. Further, when the in-vehicle carbon dioxide concentration acquired by the in-vehicle information acquisition device 130 satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, 2,500 ppm or more), the call is interrupted with a warning sound or a message to take a rest. Control may be performed such as outputting from the voice output unit, blocking the call, or conversely, outputting music at a high volume to prevent sleepiness.

In the above description of the embodiment, an example was shown in which mobile body information is transmitted to the server 200 through the data processing device 110 from each device provided in the mobile body, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the tire information acquisition device 120, the vehicle interior information acquisition device 130, the fuel information acquisition device 140, and the communication device 150 may directly connect to the Internet from their respective communication units and transmit mobile information to the server 200. good.

In the description of the above-described embodiments, an example in which a call is controlled by a call device implemented by a smart phone or the like, which is separate from a mobile object, has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the mobile unit may have functional units corresponding to each device, and a program installed and executed in the mobile unit may cooperate with each functional unit to function, thereby realizing call control.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Also, the above embodiments can be modified and modified in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention. Also, the above embodiments and modifications can be combined.
