  In order to increase the possibility that content information reflecting the recent content holding state of the device can be provided to the user quickly when the user browses the content information, the information communication apparatus according to the present disclosure provides a facility An information communication device capable of communicating with a device in the facility, wherein a detection unit that detects the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility, and communication with the device in the facility when the movement is detected by the detection unit Thus, content information indicating the content held by the device is acquired, and the acquisition unit stores the acquired content information in a storage medium.

  As a result, the content information is acquired by the information communication device when the movement of the user is detected. Therefore, after the movement (for example, after entering the facility), the user reflects the relatively new content holding state of the device. Information can be confirmed. Note that the information communication apparatus efficiently acquires content information when detecting the movement of the user (that is, at the detection timing). For this reason, for example, if content information is not acquired otherwise, the cost (power consumption) of processing required to acquire content information can be suppressed as compared with the case where content information is always acquired (collected).

  Here, for example, the detection unit detects a user's movement in a predetermined direction from the location where the information communication apparatus is not located to the location where the information communication device is located, and the acquisition unit is configured to detect the detection unit. When the movement of the user in the predetermined direction is detected, the content information may be acquired and stored in the storage medium. Note that the information communication device may be a stationary device installed in a facility, for example, or may be a device (a cloud server or the like) installed outside the facility.

  Thereby, the user's moving direction is distinguished, and the content information is acquired when the user's movement in a predetermined direction is detected. For this reason, when the user browses the content information with the information communication device after the user has moved between the inside and outside the facility (for example, after entering the facility), the information communication device displays the relatively new content holding state of the device. The reflected content information can be quickly provided to the user. Note that the information communication apparatus efficiently acquires the content information when detecting the movement of the user to a place (inside or outside the facility) where the information communication apparatus is used.

  Further, for example, when the movement is detected by the detection unit, the acquisition unit acquires content information indicating content held by the device from each of the plurality of devices in the facility and stores the content information in the storage medium. It may be stored.

  Thus, the user can comprehensively recognize the content information related to the content held by a plurality of devices in the facility by confirming the content information from the storage medium of the information communication apparatus.

  In addition, for example, when the acquisition unit acquires content information indicating content held by the device from each of the plurality of devices and stores the content information in the storage medium, the acquisition unit has already acquired the content information from the device in the storage medium When information is stored, the stored content information may be updated with the stored content information.

  Thus, the user can recognize the content information related to the latest state of the content held by the equipment in the facility only by checking the updated content information from the storage medium of the information communication device.

  Further, for example, the information communication device may include the storage medium, and the information communication device may further include an output unit that outputs content information stored in the storage medium.

  Thereby, since content information is output from an information communication apparatus, the user can confirm content information easily.

  For example, the information communication apparatus further includes a request reception unit that receives a request from an information terminal, and the output unit transmits the content information to the information terminal when the request reception unit receives the request. It is good also as performing the said output by transmitting.

  Accordingly, the user can check the content information related to the content held by each device in the facility using the information terminal that accesses the information communication apparatus.

  An information communication system according to the present disclosure includes a device in a facility, a detection device that detects movement of a user between the inside and outside of the facility, an information communication device that has a storage medium and can communicate with the device and the detection device, The information communication device receives content information indicating the content held by the device by communication with the device when receiving notification from the detection device regarding detection of user movement between the inside and outside of the facility. Acquire and store in the storage medium.

  This information communication system acquires content information in conjunction with detection of user movement between facilities and outside. For this reason, when the user browses the content information after the movement (for example, after entering the facility), the content information reflecting the relatively new content holding state of the device can be quickly provided to the user.

  Here, for example, the detection device detects a moving direction of the user between the inside and outside of the facility, transmits the notification indicating the moving direction to the information communication device, and the information communication device A detection unit that detects the movement of the user in the movement direction based on the notification received from the device, and the detection unit that moves the information communication device between the inside and outside of the facility from a direction where the information communication device is not located to a predetermined direction. When the movement of the user is detected, an acquisition unit that performs the acquisition of the content information may be included.

  Thereby, when the user moves to a location where the information communication device is located between the inside and outside of the facility, the content information related to the content held by the device is acquired by the information communication device. For this reason, when the user browses the content information by operating the information communication apparatus or the like, the user can browse the content information reflecting the recent content holding state of the device. For example, when the detection device detects that the user has moved in a direction (direction B) other than the direction (direction A) in which the information communication device is located between the inside and outside of the facility, the information communication device acquires content information. You don't have to. Further, when the detection device detects that the user has moved in the direction B, for example, it is configured not to notify the information communication device, or the detection device is detected to have moved in the direction B, for example. You may comprise so that it may not. For example, if the information communication apparatus does not acquire content information when the user moves in the direction B, the content information is acquired (collected) when the user moves in either the direction A or the direction B. In comparison, the processing cost (power consumption) required for acquiring the content information can be suppressed.

  In addition, for example, the information communication device is located in the facility, the information communication system is further located outside the facility, and includes an external information communication device capable of communicating with the device and the detection device, The detection device transmits the notification to the external information communication device, and the external information communication device detects the movement of the user in the movement direction by receiving the notification, and moves in a direction different from the predetermined direction. When the movement of the user is detected, the content information is acquired and held by communication with the device, and when accessed from an information terminal used by the user, the held content information is It is good also as transmitting to the said information terminal.

  Thereby, the user can confirm the content information acquired by the information communication device inside the facility, and the content acquired by the external information communication device by accessing the external information communication device using the information terminal outside the facility. You can check the information.

  In addition, for example, the information terminal may function as the detection device, and the detection device may detect the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility depending on whether or not the information terminal is connected to the local area network in the facility.

  Accordingly, when the user carries the information terminal, the movement of the user can be detected in the information communication system without providing a sensor for detecting the movement of the user in the facility. Then, the information communication device or the external information communication device can acquire the content information in conjunction with the detection of the movement of the user between inside and outside the facility. For this reason, the user carrying the information terminal can browse the content information reflecting the relatively new content holding state of the device by the information communication device or the external information communication device.

  An information acquisition method according to the present disclosure is an information acquisition method in an information communication apparatus capable of communicating with equipment in a facility, the detection step for detecting movement of a user between the inside and outside of the facility, and the movement in the detection step And acquiring the content information indicating the content held by the device by communication with the device and storing the acquired content information in a storage medium.

  As a result, content information is acquired when the movement of the user is detected, so that after the movement (for example, after entering the facility), the user reflects the relatively new content holding state of the device from the information communication device. You can check the information.

  Further, the control program in the present disclosure is a control program for causing an information communication apparatus including a microprocessor, which can communicate with equipment in a facility, to execute predetermined information acquisition processing. A detection step for detecting the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility, and when the movement is detected in the detection step, the content information indicating the content held by the device is acquired and acquired by communication with the device And acquiring the content information in a storage medium.

And a network 21 that is communicably connected to each other. The network 21 is, for example, a local area network (LAN), and may be a wired communication network or a wireless communication network. In the facility 20, a device 30a, a device 30b, and an information communication device 100 are installed. The facility 20 is mainly described as being a residence of a user who is a user of the information communication system 10, but may be a building other than a residence (a dwelling unit of a housing complex, a store, a hospital, a building, etc.), for example. .

  The devices 30a and 30b are servers in the home network, and have a function of holding content and transmitting content information, which is information about the held content, or content in response to a request or the like. Here, for convenience of explanation, an example in which two devices 30a and 30b are installed in the facility 20 will be described. However, how many devices having the same functions as the devices 30a and 30b are installed in the facility 20. May be. For convenience, the device 30a and the device 30b are a recording / reproducing apparatus (for example, a recording / reproducing apparatus) that performs processing such as reception and recording (holding), reproduction, recording reservation (that is, recording scheduling) of a broadcast program in accordance with a user operation or the like. ). In this case, the device 30a and the device 30b include a processor (microprocessor), a memory, a hard disk device, a broadcast receiving circuit, a communication interface (I / F), and the like. In addition, the device 30a and the device 30b have unique identification information for communication such as a MAC (Media Access Control) address, for example, and exchange content information, content, and the like with other devices according to a predetermined protocol. You can send and receive. The device 30a and the device 30b have, for example, an IP (Internet Protocol) address (including the acquired link local address), and can perform communication using an IP packet. The device 30a and the device 30b exchange commands and responses in accordance with, for example, UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). The device 30a and the device 30b may conform to a guideline established by DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). In the example of the recording / reproducing apparatus, for example, data (data representing program contents) related to at least one of video and audio constituting a broadcast program transmitted from a broadcast station via a communication path such as a broadcast wave or a cable is content. is there. For example, when a user performs a recording reservation operation for a broadcast program, the device 30a receives and holds a broadcast program (content) broadcast at a time specified by the recording reservation operation. Further, for example, when the user performs a content reproduction instruction operation, the device 30a outputs the held content (for example, transmission of a video signal and an audio signal for reproducing video and audio related to the content). Note that user operations on the device 30a and the like are performed via a user interface (buttons and the like) or a remote controller (such as an infrared remote controller) of the device 30a and other devices (for example, information terminals). 50 etc.).

  The detection device 40 has a function of executing a movement detection process for detecting the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20, and transmits a notification (movement detection notification) to the information communication device 100 when the movement of the user is detected. To do. The detection device 40 may detect the movement of the user between inside and outside the facility by any method. For example, the detection device 40 includes an open / close sensor that detects the opening / closing of the entrance door of the facility 20 (house), so that the opening of the entrance door is regarded as the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20. May be detected. In addition, the detection device 40 distinguishes whether the user moves into the facility (inside the house) between the inside and outside of the facility 20 or the user moves out of the facility (outside the house), and information indicating the movement direction is notified of the movement detection. May be included in the transmission. For example, in the case where the detection device 40 includes a human sensor installed inside the entrance door of the entrance door in addition to the opening / closing sensor of the entrance door, immediately after the entrance door opens and closes, When the presence is detected, the user moves to the inside of the house, and when the presence of a person is not detected, it can be determined that the user moves to the outside of the house.

  The information terminal 50 is a computer such as a tablet or a smartphone including a communication I / F, a memory, a processor, a display, and an input device (for example, a button, a keyboard, a touch panel, etc.), and is used by a user. The information terminal 50 may include, for example, a speaker or a headphone connection terminal and the like and can output sound. The information terminal 50 acquires content information from the information communication apparatus 100 and displays the content information on the display. In response to a user operation, the information terminal 50 acquires the content based on the content information and displays the content video on the display screen. For example, content audio is output from a speaker or the like.

  The information communication device 100 is a so-called stationary device installed in the facility 20. The information communication device 100 indicates content held by each device (device 30a, device 30b) in the facility 20 when receiving a movement detection notification related to detection of user movement between inside and outside the facility 20 from the detection device 40. It has a function of acquiring content information through communication with the device and storing it in a storage medium such as a memory. Further, the information communication apparatus 100 can output the content information stored in the storage medium in accordance with a user operation or the like. The information communication apparatus 100 includes a memory 101, a processor 102, a communication I / F 103, and a user I / F 104. The information communication apparatus 100 may include a storage medium such as a hard disk, for example. The memory 101 is a ROM that stores a program and data in advance, a RAM that is used to store data when the program is executed, and may include a nonvolatile memory, for example. The memory 101 stores in advance a control program for realizing a predetermined information acquisition process related to an information acquisition method for acquiring content information from each device in the facility 20, a setting value for use in the control program, and the like. . The processor 102 controls the communication I / F 103 and the like by executing a control program, and performs various processes such as a predetermined information acquisition process. The memory 101 is also used for temporarily storing each value used when the control program is executed by the processor 102. The communication I / F 103 is a communication circuit or the like for exchanging information with other devices via the network 21 or the like. The user I / F 104 is a display device (display) and an input device (for example, a button, a keyboard, a touch panel, etc.) for receiving an operation from the user and presenting information to the user. The information communication apparatus 100 does not have to have the user I / F 104. For example, the information communication apparatus 100 communicates with the information terminal 50 via the network 21 or the like using the communication I / F 103. It can be used as a user interface (display device and input device) of the device 100. The information communication device 100 has unique identification information for communication such as a MAC address, for example, and transmits content information and the like with other devices according to a predetermined protocol (the same protocol as the devices 30a and 30b). Can be sent and received between. The information communication apparatus 100 has an IP address, for example, and can perform communication using an IP packet.

  Hereinafter, the information communication apparatus 100 in the information communication system 10 described above will be described in detail.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the information communication apparatus 100. In the figure, devices (device 30a, device 30b, detection device 40, and information terminal 50) that communicate with the information communication device 100 are appended.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the information communication apparatus 100 includes a detection unit 110, an acquisition unit 120, a storage medium 130, a request reception unit 140, and an output unit 150.

  The detection unit 110 is realized by, for example, the communication I / F 103, the processor 102 that executes a control program, and the like, and has a function of detecting the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 and transmitting the detection to the acquisition unit 120. At the timing when the movement of the user is detected, the information communication apparatus 100 acquires (collects) the content information related to the content held by the device installed in the facility 20. Since the movement detection notification is transmitted when the detection device 40 detects the movement of the user, the detection unit 110 can receive the movement detection notification. In addition, when the detection unit 110 repeatedly inquires of the detection device 40 and a movement is detected, a movement detection notification indicating that may be received. The detection unit 110 detects the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 based on receiving the movement detection notification from the detection device 40. Collecting content information at the timing when the user's movement between the inside and outside of the facility 20 is detected regardless of the direction of movement of the user is more efficient than constantly collecting the content information, and is required for, for example, content information collection processing An increase in power consumption can be suppressed.

  Based on receiving the movement detection notification from the detection device 40, the detection unit 110 is located in a predetermined direction between the inside and outside of the facility 20 (from the direction where the information communication device 100 is not located (outside the facility 20)) It is good also as detecting a user's movement to the direction to). In this case, for example, the detection unit 110 detects the movement of the user into the facility 20 and notifies the acquisition unit 120 of the detection, and does not notify the acquisition unit 120 of the movement of the user outside the facility 20. As a result, when the user enters the facility 20 (home) and confirms the content information to view the content held in the device 30a or the like, the information communication apparatus 100 collects the content information more efficiently. become able to. When using a method in which the movement detection notification includes information indicating the movement direction, the detection unit 110 can detect the movement of the user into the facility 20 based on the movement direction. Even when using a method in which the movement detection notification does not include information indicating the moving direction, the detection unit 110 estimates the facility according to a certain condition such as when the time period when the movement detection notification is received is from evening to night. The movement of the user into 20 may be detected.

  The acquisition unit 120 is realized by the communication I / F 103, the processor 102 that executes a control program, and the like. When the detection unit 110 detects the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 (that is, at the timing when the detection is transmitted), the acquisition unit 120 holds these devices by communication with the devices 30a and 30b. It has a function of acquiring content information indicating content and storing the acquired content information in the storage medium 130. In addition, in the case where the detection unit 110 has a function of detecting a user's movement in a predetermined direction from the direction where the information communication device 100 is not located to the location where the information communication device 100 is located between the inside and outside of the facility 20, When the movement of the user in a predetermined direction is detected, the content information is acquired from the devices 30a and 30b and stored in the storage medium 130. Further, content information is not acquired for a user movement in a direction different from the predetermined direction. For example, the acquisition unit 120 transmits a server search command to the network 21 by multicast to acquire content information from the devices (device 30a and device 30b) in the facility 20. Based on the response to the server search command, the acquisition unit 120 transmits a command for requesting content information to a content information disclosure function such as CDS (Content Directory Service) of each server. Since the content information is transmitted from each of the device 30 a and the device 30 b in response to the command, the acquisition unit 120 acquires the content information by receiving and stores it in the storage medium 130. When the acquisition unit 120 acquires content information indicating the content held by the device 30a and the device 30b and stores the content information in the storage medium 130, the acquisition unit 120 stores the content information already acquired from the device in the storage medium 130. When stored, the stored content information may be updated (for example, so-called overwriting or the like) with the content information acquired and stored.

  The storage medium 130 is the memory 101 or a hard disk, and can hold content information and the like. The storage medium 130 may hold content information with a certain data structure as a database for managing content information, for example.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of content information stored in the storage medium 130 by the acquisition unit 120. As shown in the figure, the content information includes a title (broadcast program name), date and time (broadcast date and time), storage device name, and storage destination for each content as a broadcast program recorded by a recording / playback device such as the device 30a. Information such as URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The storage destination device name is the model name of the device (device 30a or device 30b) holding the content, and the storage destination URL is a URL indicating the storage location of the content. For example, when HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) is used as a communication protocol for transmitting content, the storage destination URL is address information including the IP address and port number of the storage destination device as shown in FIG. Is expressed as When a content acquisition request (for example, an HTTP GET request) is transmitted to this URL, the content (data including video and audio) can be acquired as a response thereto. The information terminal 50 and the information communication apparatus 100 can reproduce (for example, display) content by accessing this URL.

  The request receiving unit 140 is realized by, for example, the communication I / F 103, the processor 102 that executes a control program, and the like, and has a function of receiving an output request for content information stored in the storage medium 130 by the information communication apparatus 100. The output request may include a transmission request from another device. The request reception unit 140 can receive a transmission request for content information from the information terminal 50. When the request receiving unit 140 is realized including the user I / F 104, it can receive an operation for requesting output of content information (for example, display on a display device) by the user.

  The output unit 150 is realized by, for example, the communication I / F 103, the processor 102 that executes a control program, and the like, and outputs content information stored in the storage medium 130 when an output request is received by the request reception unit 140. It has a function. For example, when the request reception unit 140 receives a transmission request for content information, the output unit 150 transmits the content information to a device (for example, the information terminal 50) that has transmitted the transmission request. Output can be done. When the output unit 150 is realized including the user I / F 104, the content information can be output by displaying the content information on the display device. That is, the user confirms the contents of the storage medium 130 of the information communication apparatus 100 through the user I / F 104 (for example, a display device) by operating the user I / F 104 (for example, an input device). obtain.

[1-2. Operation]
Hereinafter, the operation of the information communication system 10 having the above-described configuration will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of movement detection processing in the detection device 40. Here, using the example in which the detection device 40 can distinguish whether the user moves into the house or the user moves out of the house by having the opening / closing sensor and the human sensor of the entrance door described above, for example, This will be described with reference to FIG.

  The detection device 40 detects the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 (inside and outside the house) by distinguishing the moving direction (step S11). For example, when the opening / closing sensor detects the opening / closing of a front door, the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 is detected depending on whether the location of the user is different from the previous location, inside or outside the facility 20. For example, if the first time is determined to be, for example, in-home, and if the user has moved to a different location from the previous time (that is, moved from the home to the outside or moved from the home to the home) based on whether the previous time was in the home or outside the home, step S12 Otherwise, step S11 is repeated.

  When the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the house is detected in step S11, the detection device 40 stores whether the user's location is inside or outside the house for the next detection in step S11 ( Step S12).

  Subsequent to step S12, the detection apparatus 40 transmits a movement detection notification indicating the detected movement direction of the user to the information communication apparatus 100 (step S13), and returns to the process in step S11 again. Note that in step S13, the detection device 40 may transmit the movement detection notification to the information communication device 100 only when the moving direction of the user is from outside the house to the house.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example of the information communication apparatus 100. Hereinafter, operations related to transmission / reception of content information in the information communication apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the information communication apparatus 100 detects the movement of the user into the facility 20 by referring to the movement detection notification by the detection unit 110 (step S21), the information communication apparatus 100 performs predetermined information acquisition processing (processing in steps S22 to S24). In other cases, the processing of steps S22 to S24 is skipped. When the movement detection notification indicates the movement direction from outside the house to the house when the movement detection notification is received from the detection device 40, the detection unit 110 detects the movement of the user into the facility 20, and from the house In the case of indicating the moving direction to the outside of the house, the movement of the user into the facility 20 is not detected. In the case where the movement detection notification does not indicate the movement direction, the detection unit 110 assumes that the movement of the user into the facility 20 is detected upon reception of the movement detection notification in step S21. .

  In step S22, the information communication apparatus 100 transmits a command requesting content information to the device 30a and the device 30b. Subsequently, the acquisition unit 120 of the information communication apparatus 100 acquires content information related to the content held by the device 30a and the device 30b that responds to the command by receiving the content information (Step S23). And the acquisition part 120 stores the acquired content information in the storage medium 130 (step S24). In step S <b> 24, if content information from each device is already stored in the storage medium 130, the acquisition unit 120 updates the content information with the acquired content information. Note that the information communication apparatus 100 may execute predetermined information acquisition processing (that is, processing in steps S22 to S24), for example, by interrupt processing for the processor 102 in response to the movement detection notification from the detection device 40.

  In addition, when the information communication apparatus 100 receives a request for content information from the request reception unit 140 (step S25), the output unit 150 reads out and outputs the content information from the storage medium 130 (step S26). For example, upon receiving a content information transmission request from the information terminal 50, the information communication apparatus 100 transmits the content information stored in the storage medium 130 to the information terminal 50. Thereby, the information terminal 50 can display the content information on the display. FIG. 6 shows an example of a display screen on the information terminal 50 that has acquired the content information from the information communication apparatus 100. A GUI (Graphical User Interface) screen 51 shown in the figure includes a display column 51a that displays content information in a list format. For example, when the user performs an operation of selecting any content (broadcast program) from the content information displayed in the display column 51a and pressing the play button 51b, the information terminal 50 stores the content information of the content. The content can be reproduced (eg, displayed) by accessing a device holding the content based on the URL, transmitting a content acquisition request, and receiving the content.

[1-3. Effect]
According to the information communication system 10 described above, when the user returns to the facility 20 (house) and browses the content information using the display device (display) of the information terminal 50 or the information communication device 100, the user can check the information on the devices in the home. Content information reflecting a relatively new content holding state can be browsed. This is because, when the information communication apparatus 100 detects that the user has entered the facility 20 (that is, at the timing of detection), it acquires (that is, collects) content information from the home devices (the devices 30a and 30b). It depends on. In the information communication system 10, the information communication device 100 collects content information when the user moves to the home before the user browses the content information by the information communication device 100 at home. The possibility that content information can be provided quickly is increased. If the content held in the devices 30a and 30b in the home is enormous, it may take several minutes to collect the content information, so when the user tries to browse the content information In addition, it is not possible to provide content quickly by starting to collect content information. Moreover, if the collection of content information is repeated at all times (for example, every hour), useless power consumption may increase. Therefore, in the information communication system 10, the information communication apparatus 100 collects the content information in response to detection of the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the house in order to efficiently cope with the case where the user browses the content information after entering the house. Like to do.

  An example of a usage scene of the information communication system 10 is as follows.

  First, it is assumed that the content information collected in the storage medium 130 of the information communication apparatus 100 before 21:00 on one day (January 29) is the content illustrated in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, information about the first and second episodes of program A is included. The third episode of the program A broadcast in the time from 21:00 to 22:00 on that day is recorded by the device 30a, which is the server A, due to the user performing a recording reservation operation in advance.

  At 23:00 on that day, the user returns home to the facility 20 (house). The information communication apparatus 100 collects content information from the devices in the home and updates the contents of the storage medium 130 when the return home (that is, the movement of the user into the facility 20) is detected. Thereby, the storage medium 130 includes information related to the third episode of the program A.

  Thereafter, when the user operates the information terminal 50 to watch a program while bathing at home at 23:30 on that day, the information terminal 50 acquires content information of the information communication apparatus 100 and displays it in a list format. Thereby, the user can browse the display screen shown in FIG. Then, the user can select the third episode of program A from the screen 51 of FIG. 6 displayed on the information terminal 50 and press the play button 51b to view the third episode of program A on the information terminal 50. it can.

  As described above, according to the information communication system 10, when the user browses, the content information reflecting the holding state of the relatively new content (content newly recorded before the user returns home) of the home device can be quickly obtained. Can be provided to users.

(Embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, an information communication system 10a in which a browsing function for content information outside the facility 20 is added to the information communication system 10 shown in the first embodiment will be described.

  The information communication system 10a includes a function that allows a user to browse content information related to content held by each device in the facility 20 by accessing a cloud server or the like using the portable information terminal 50a.

[2-1. Constitution]
FIG. 7 is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating an example of the information communication system 10a.

  As shown in the figure, the information communication system 10a includes, in the facility 20, devices such as a device (server A) 30a, a device (server B) 30b, a detection device 40a, an information communication device 100, and a router 60, and these devices. It includes a network 21 that connects devices so that they can communicate with each other, and an external information communication device 100a that is located outside the facility 20 and functions as a cloud server or the like. An information terminal 50a carried by the user is shown in FIG. The external information communication device 100 a can perform wireless communication or wired communication with the information terminal 50 a carried by the user and the router 60 via the network 22. The network 22 is, for example, a WAN (Wide Area Network), and may include a telephone line network, the Internet, and the like. Among the components of the information communication system 10a shown in FIG. 7, the same components as those of the information communication system 10 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. The information communication system 10a is the same as the information communication system 10 in the points not particularly shown here.

  The detection device 40a has a function of executing a movement detection process for detecting the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20, similar to the detection device 40 shown in the first embodiment, but the movement detection notification is sent to the information communication device 100. As well as the external information communication device 100a. For example, the detection device 40a stores in advance the address (IP address or the like) of the external information communication device 100a based on a user operation or the like, and uses the address to send the external information communication device 100a to the external information communication device 100a via the router 60. Send a move detection notification. Similarly to the detection device 40, the detection device 40a may detect the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility by any method. Further, the detection device 40a distinguishes whether the user moves into the facility (inside the house) between the inside and outside of the facility 20 or the user moves out of the facility (outside the house), and information indicating the moving direction is notified of the movement detection. May be included in the transmission.

  The information terminal 50a is a computer such as a smartphone that can be carried by the user, has the same configuration and functions as the information terminal 50 shown in the first embodiment, is used by the user outside the facility 20, and the external information communication device 100a Can communicate. The information terminal 50a can access the external information communication device 100a to request content information, receive the content information transmitted from the external information communication device 100a, and display it on the display. The information terminal 50a communicates with the information communication apparatus 100 in the facility 20 instead of the information terminal 50 described in the first embodiment when the user carrying the information terminal 50a is located in the facility 20. It may be used.

  The external information communication device 100a receives the content held by each device (device 30a, device 30b) in the facility 20 when receiving the movement detection notification related to the detection of the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 from the detection device 40a. The content information shown is acquired by communication with the device via the network 22, the router 60, the network 21, and the like, and stored in a storage medium such as a memory. The external information communication apparatus 100a includes a memory 101a, a processor 102a, and a communication I / F 103a. The external information communication device 100a may include a storage medium such as a hard disk, for example. The memory 101a is a ROM that holds a program and data in advance, a RAM that is used to store data when the program is executed, and may include, for example, a nonvolatile memory. The memory 101a stores in advance a control program and set values for use in the control program. The processor 102a executes the control program stored in the memory 101a to control the communication I / F 103a and the like, and in the facility 20 like the processor 102 of the information communication apparatus 100 described in the first embodiment. A predetermined information acquisition process or the like according to an information acquisition method for acquiring content information from each device is executed. The communication I / F 103a is a communication circuit or the like for exchanging information with the information terminal 50a or devices in the facility 20 via the network 22 or the like. The external information communication apparatus 100a has an IP address, for example, and can perform communication using an IP packet. In the external information communication device 100a, for example, information necessary for communicating with the devices 30a and 30b (for example, the IP address of the router 60) is set by a user or the like. The router 60 can operate based on the setting by the user or the like so that, for example, the external information communication apparatus 100a can acquire content information from each device (device 30a, device 30b) in the facility 20. Further, the router 60 can operate so that the information terminal 50a can access each device in the facility 20 by using a storage destination URL (see FIG. 3) related to the content described in the content information. Note that the device 30a and the device 30b may or may not have a global IP address. In order for the external information communication device 100a or the information terminal 50a to communicate with devices that do not have a global IP address in the facility 20 beyond the router 60, various existing technologies can be applied. The external information communication device 100a can output (transmit) content information collected from each device in the facility 20 and stored in a storage medium such as the memory 101a in response to a request from the information terminal 50a.

  Hereinafter, the external information communication apparatus 100a in the information communication system 10a described above will be described in detail.

  FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram of the information communication apparatus 100 and the external information communication apparatus 100a. In the figure, devices that communicate with the information communication device 100 or the external information communication device 100a are appended. Instead of the information terminal 50, the information terminal 50a may be used for communication with each of the information communication apparatus 100 and the external information communication apparatus 100a. The information communication apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 8 is the same as that shown in Embodiment 1 (see FIG. 2).

  As shown in FIG. 8, the external information communication device 100a has substantially the same components as the information communication device 100. Specifically, the detection unit 110a, the acquisition unit 120a, the storage medium 130a, and the request reception unit 140a and an output unit 150a.

  The detection unit 110a is realized by, for example, the communication I / F 103a, the processor 102a that executes a control program, and the like. The detection unit 110a receives a movement detection notification that is transmitted when a movement of the user is detected from the detection device 40a. It has a function of detecting the movement of the user between and transmitting the detection to the acquisition unit 120a. The external information communication device 100a acquires (collects) content information related to content held by the device installed in the facility 20 at the timing when the user's movement is detected by receiving the movement detection notification.

  Based on receiving the movement detection notification from the detection device 40a, the detection unit 110a is located in a predetermined direction between the inside and outside of the facility 20 (the one in which the information communication device 100 is not located (outside the facility 20) (the one in the facility 20 It is good also as detecting a user's movement to the direction different from (the direction to). In other words, the direction different from the predetermined direction is a direction from the direction where the external information communication device 100a is not located (inside the facility 20) to the direction where it is located (outside the facility 20). In this case, for example, the detection unit 110a detects the movement of the user outside the facility 20 and transmits the detection to the acquisition unit 120a, and does not transmit the detection of the user movement into the facility 20 to the acquisition unit 120a. Accordingly, the user should go out of the facility 20 (inside the house) to outside the facility 20 (outside the house) and view the content held in the home device 30a or the like by the portable information terminal 50a. When confirming the content information, the external information communication apparatus 100a can efficiently collect the content information. When the movement detection notification transmitted by the detection device 40a uses a method including information indicating the movement direction, the detection unit 110a can detect the movement of the user outside the facility 20 based on the movement direction.

  The acquisition unit 120a is realized by the communication I / F 103a, the processor 102a that executes a control program, and the like. When the detection unit 110a detects the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 (that is, at the timing when the detection is transmitted), the acquisition unit 120a holds these devices by communication with the device 30a and the device 30b. It has a function of acquiring content information indicating content and storing the acquired content information in the storage medium 130a. In addition, the acquisition unit 120a has a function in which the detection unit 110a has a function of detecting a user's movement in a predetermined direction from the location where the external information communication apparatus 100a is not located to the location where the facility 20 is located. It works as follows. That is, when the movement of the user in the predetermined direction is detected, the acquisition unit 120a acquires content information from the devices 30a and 30b, stores the content information in the storage medium 130a, and stores the user information in a direction different from the predetermined direction. Content information is not acquired for movement. For example, the acquisition unit 120a acquires content information for each device via the network 22, the router 60, and the network 21 in order to acquire content information from each device (device 30a and device 30b) in the facility 20. Send a command requesting Since the content information is transmitted from each of the device 30a and the device 30b in response to the command, the acquisition unit 120a acquires the content information by receiving it and stores it in the storage medium 130a. When the acquisition unit 120a acquires content information indicating the content held by the device 30a and the device 30b and stores the content information in the storage medium 130a, the acquisition unit 120a stores the content information already acquired from the device in the storage medium 130a. When it is stored, the stored content information may be updated with the content information acquired and stored.

  The storage medium 130a is a memory 101a or a hard disk, and can hold content information and the like. The content information that can be held in the storage medium 130a is the same as that held in the storage medium 130 of the information communication apparatus 100 (see FIG. 3). However, the content information stored in the storage medium 130a and the storage medium 130 may differ depending on the difference between the collection timing of the content information by the acquisition unit 120a and the collection timing of the content information by the acquisition unit 120.

  The request reception unit 140a is realized by the communication I / F 103a, the processor 102a that executes a control program, and the like, and has a function of receiving a request (transmission request) for content information stored in the storage medium 130a by the external information communication apparatus 100a. The request reception unit 140a can receive a request for content information from the information terminal 50a.

  The output unit 150a is realized by the communication I / F 103a, the processor 102a that executes a control program, and the like, and outputs a content information stored in the storage medium 130a when a transmission request is received by the request reception unit 140a. Have For example, when the request receiving unit 140a receives a content information transmission request from the information terminal 50a, the output unit 150a can output the content information by transmitting the content information to the information terminal 50a.

  Such an external information communication device 100a is connected to the device 30a and the device 30b when the movement of the user to the outside of the facility 20 is detected, for example, by receiving a movement detection notification indicating the movement direction from the detection device 40a. Through communication, content information related to the content held by each of the device 30a and the device 30b is acquired and held. The external information communication device 100a can transmit the held content information to the information terminal 50a when accessed from the information terminal 50a used by the user.

[2-2. Operation]
The operation of the information communication system 10a having the above configuration will be described below.

  For example, the detection device 40a can execute the movement detection process illustrated in FIG. 4 in the same manner as the detection device 40 described in the first embodiment. However, in step S13, a movement detection notification indicating the moving direction of the user is transmitted not only to the information communication apparatus 100 but also to the external information communication apparatus 100a. The detection device 40a transmits a movement detection notification to the information communication device 100 only when the user moves into the facility 20 among the movements of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20, and the user moves outside the facility 20. Only in this case, the movement detection notification may be transmitted to the external information communication apparatus 100a.

  The information communication apparatus 100 performs the operation illustrated in FIG. 5 as described in the first embodiment.

  Similarly to the information communication apparatus 100, the external information communication apparatus 100a generally performs the operation illustrated in FIG. 5, and the operation of the external information communication apparatus 100a will be described with reference to FIG. However, in step S21, instead of detecting the movement of the user into the facility 20, the movement of the user outside the facility 20 is detected, and when the movement of the user outside the facility 20 is detected, steps S22 to S24 are performed. The predetermined information acquisition process is performed at That is, when the detection unit 110a of the external information communication device 100a receives the movement detection notification from the detection device 40a in step S21, if the movement detection notification indicates the movement direction from inside the house to outside the house, the detection unit 110a goes outside the facility 20. Detect user movement. The detection unit 110a does not detect the movement of the user outside the facility 20 when the movement detection notification indicates a movement direction from outside the house to the inside of the house. If the movement detection notification does not indicate the movement direction, the detection unit 110a assumes that the movement of the user to the outside of the facility 20 is detected in step S21 upon reception of the movement detection notification. .

  In step S22, the external information communication apparatus 100a requests content information from the devices 30a and 30b. Subsequently, the acquisition unit 120a of the external information communication device 100a acquires content information related to the content held by the device 30a and the device 30b that responds to the request by receiving the content information (Step S23). Then, the acquisition unit 120a stores the acquired content information in the storage medium 130a (step S24). In step S24, if the content information from each device in the facility 20 is already stored in the storage medium 130a, the acquisition unit 120a updates the content information with the acquired content information. Note that the external information communication device 100a may execute predetermined information acquisition processing (that is, processing in steps S22 to S24), for example, by interrupt processing for the processor 102a in response to the movement detection notification from the detection device 40a. .

  Further, when the external information communication apparatus 100a receives a request for content information from the information terminal 50a by the request reception unit 140a (step S25), the content information is read from the storage medium 130a by the output unit 150a and is sent to the information terminal 50a. Send. Thereby, in the information terminal 50a, content information can be displayed on the display similarly to the information terminal 50 shown in Embodiment 1 (see FIG. 6). Then, in response to a user operation, the information terminal 50a accesses a device that holds the content (for example, the device 30a) based on the storage destination URL of the content information of the content selected by the user, and transmits a content acquisition request. By receiving the content, it can be reproduced (for example, displayed).

[2-3. Effect]
According to the information communication system 10a described above, when the user goes out of the facility 20 (house) and accesses the cloud server (external information communication apparatus 100a) with the information terminal 50a to browse content information, Content information reflecting a relatively new content holding state of the device can be browsed. Further, according to the information communication system 10a, as in the information communication system 10 shown in the first embodiment, the user returns to the facility 20 (house) and receives the information terminal 50 (or the information terminal 50a carried by the user). ) Alternatively, when browsing the content information by the display device (display) of the information communication apparatus 100, the content information reflecting the relatively new content holding state of the home device can be browsed.

  In the information communication system 10a, when the external information communication device 100a detects that the user has left the facility 20 (that is, at the detection timing), it acquires content information from the home devices (device 30a and device 30b) ( That is collecting). In the information communication system 10a, when the user moves outside the house (outside home) before accessing the external information communication device 100a using the portable information terminal 50a and browsing the content information, the user moves outside the house. The external information communication apparatus 100a collects content information. For this reason, the possibility that content information can be quickly provided to the user during browsing by the user is increased.

(Other embodiments)
As described above, the first embodiment has been described as an example of the technique disclosed in the present application. However, the technology in the present disclosure is not limited to this, and can also be applied to embodiments in which changes, replacements, additions, omissions, and the like are appropriately performed.

  The detection devices 40 and 40a shown in the above-described embodiments may detect the occurrence of an event for estimating that the user has moved between inside and outside the facility 20. Examples of methods in which the detection devices 40 and 40a detect the movement of a user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 include the following. You may detect a user's movement from the image group image | photographed with the surveillance camera provided in the entrance / exit (for example, entrance) of the facility 20. FIG. The movement of the user may be detected based on the detection result of locking, unlocking, and the like by a locking / unlocking system of an entrance / exit door of the facility 20 (for example, an entrance door). Further, the movement of the user into the facility 20 may be detected by detecting that the switch for turning on the illumination of the facility 20 is turned on. By detecting that a vehicle has entered a parking area of the facility 20 (for example, a garage in a house) with a sensor, detecting the movement of the user into the facility 20 and detecting that the vehicle has exited with the sensor The movement of the user outside the facility 20 may be detected. The detection devices 40 and 40a may be functionally included in devices such as the router 60 and the information communication device 100 in the facility 20. In the detection devices 40 and 40a, the information terminal 50a carried by the user (that is, an information terminal that can be specified by registering identification information such as a MAC address in advance) is connected to the LAN (network 21) in the facility 20. The movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 may be detected depending on whether or not it has been done. Further, when the information terminal 50a has a GPS (Global Positioning System) signal reception function, the function is used to detect the movement of the user based on whether the information terminal 50a is located in the facility 20 or the vicinity thereof. Also good. In the case where the information communication apparatus 100 includes a sensor or the like that detects the movement of the user, the detection unit 110 can detect the movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 according to the detection result of the sensor or the like. Moreover, the detection apparatuses 40 and 40a may be functionally included in the information terminal 50a carried by the user. In this case, the information terminal 50a functions as the detection devices 40 and 40a by performing the movement detection process shown in FIG. The movement of the user between the inside and outside of the facility 20 can be detected based on whether or not it is connected (or connected to the network 22 such as a WAN).

  Further, the information communication apparatus 100 shown in the first embodiment may be an apparatus that can be accessed from an information terminal or the like that is located outside the facility 20 and that is used by a user who has gone out of the facility 20. However, when the operation shown in FIG. 5 is performed when the user is located outside the facility 20, the information communication apparatus 100, as in the external information communication apparatus 100a shown in the second embodiment, is moved into the facility 20 in step S21. Instead of detecting the movement of the user, the movement of the user to the outside of the facility 20 is detected, and when the movement of the user to the outside of the facility 20 is detected, it is necessary to perform predetermined information acquisition processing in steps S22 to S24. . That is, the detection unit 110 of the information communication device 100 detects the movement of the user in a predetermined direction from the location where the information communication device 100 is not located to the location where the information communication device 100 is located, and the acquisition unit 120 detects the detection. When the movement of the user in the predetermined direction is detected by the unit 110, the content information is acquired and stored in the storage medium 130.

  In addition, the devices for which the information communication device 100 collects content information may be one or more devices that hold content in the facility 20, or may be registered in the information communication device 100 in advance. It may be a specific device or a plurality of devices.

  The information communication device 100 stores the collected content information as the storage medium 130 such as the memory 101 included in the information communication device 100. For example, the information communication device 100 stores the content information. Alternatively, it may be stored in an external storage medium such as a hard disk in an external hard disk device.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the content is a broadcast program has been shown. However, the content may be digital information of a different type from a broadcast program (video, audio, etc.), for example, music such as music It may be content or image content such as a photograph. For example, when a device installed in the facility 20 downloads and holds music, photographic images, etc. from the Internet or the like, the information communication device 100 or the external information communication device 100a is held by the device. Content information about content such as music and photographic images is collected and stored in a storage medium. Moreover, although an example was shown in FIG. 3 about content information, content information may contain what kind of information regarding each content other than the information for identifying each content, such as the title about each content.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the device 30a, the device 30b, and the like are compliant with UPnP is shown. However, this is only an example, and any communication protocol can be used in the information communication systems 10 and 10a. In addition, the information communication device 100 that communicates with the detection devices 40 and 40a, the device 30a, the device 30b, and the like may perform communication with each device, the detection device, and the like via the network 21, or individual communication paths. You may go through.
