  Of the functional configuration of the information disclosure apparatus 100 according to the embodiment, the detection unit 101, the input unit 104, and the authentication unit 105 are determined by the CPU 401, microphone 409, camera 417, input device 411, and various sensors 416. Are realized by the CPU 401 and the output unit 103 by the speaker 410 and the display 413, respectively.

(Contents of processing of navigation device 300)
Next, contents of processing of the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the contents of the disclosure process of the personal information of the passenger in the navigation apparatus according to the present embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, first, the navigation apparatus 300 determines whether or not the vehicle has accepted the passenger (step S501). Here, after waiting for the passenger to be accepted (step S501: Yes), the various sensors 416 accept the input of the passenger identification information (step S502). The identification information may be, for example, a passenger's fingerprint information, voice information, image information, or the like, and may receive input from a microphone 409, a camera 417, or the like in addition to the various sensors 416.

  Subsequently, the CPU 401 authenticates whether there is an unregistered passenger among the passengers whose identification information is input in step S502 (step S503). If there is no unregistered passenger (step S503: No), the CPU 401 determines whether there are two or more passengers based on the identification information input in step S502 (step S505). ).

  If there is an unregistered passenger (step S503: Yes), the passenger is registered (step S504). For example, the passenger may be registered by outputting a message prompting registration on the display 413 and registering the passenger by operating the input device 411 or the like. The passenger registration may be, for example, a configuration registered in advance, or may be a configuration in which the passenger history is accumulated and recorded together with personal information. In other words, even the unregistered passenger may record the input identification information and accumulate and store the personal information in association with the identification information from the time when the identification information is recorded.

  When the number of passengers is one in step S505 (step S505: No), the registered passenger is only the driver, and the process proceeds to step S507 as disclosing personal information of the driver. In step S505, if there are two or more passengers (step S505: Yes), the CPU 401 next determines whether or not to disclose the passenger's personal information (step S506). The determination regarding the disclosure of the personal information may be made based on the identification information input in step S502, for example. If the number of passengers is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, it may be determined that the disclosure will not be made, or if all the passengers are family members. For example, it may be determined that it may be disclosed. In addition, it may be configured to prompt the passengers to make a disclosure decision, prompting the passengers to determine (or not to disclose) personal information, and determining how much personal information to disclose. You may be prompted.

  In step S506, when the passenger's personal information is disclosed (step S506: Yes), the CPU 401 reads the passenger's personal information whose personal information can be disclosed (step S507). For example, the personal information may be read from a recording medium such as the magnetic disk 405 or the optical disk 407. Then, the navigation apparatus 300 uses the personal information read in step S507 to start navigation processing (step S508), and ends a series of processing.

  If it is determined in step S506 that the passenger's personal information is not disclosed (step S506: No), the CPU 401 determines whether or not an input of a password is accepted via the input device 411 (step S509). ). In step S509, when input of a password is not accepted (step S509: No), it transfers to step S508 and continues a process.

  In step S509, when the input of the password is accepted (step S509: Yes), the CPU 401 determines whether or not it matches the disclosure password in the passenger's personal information (step S510). In step S510, when the password does not match the disclosure password (step S510: No), the process proceeds to step S508 and the process is continued.

  In step S510, when the password matches the disclosure password (step S510: Yes), the process proceeds to step S507 and the process is continued. Note that the disclosure password may be set in association with personal information, for example, and may be configured according to the range to be disclosed in each personal information.

  Next, contents of another process of the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the content of the personal information disclosure process of the driver in the navigation device according to the present embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 6, first, the navigation apparatus 300 determines whether or not the vehicle has accepted the passenger (step S601). Here, after waiting for the passenger to be accepted (step S601: Yes), the various sensors 416 accept the input of the passenger identification information (step S602). The identification information may be, for example, a passenger's fingerprint information, voice information, image information, or the like, and may receive input from a microphone 409, a camera 417, or the like in addition to the various sensors 416.

  Subsequently, the CPU 401 determines whether or not the owner is a driver based on the identification information input in step S602 (step S603). For example, in step S602, the determination regarding the driver may determine whether the passenger who has input the identification information as a driver is a registered owner, or the identification information of the passenger who has boarded the driver's seat. You may determine if it belongs to the owner.

  In step S603, when the owner is not a driver (step S603: No), the CPU 401 determines whether or not an input of a password is accepted via the input device 411 (step S608).

  If the owner becomes a driver in step S603 (step S603: Yes), the CPU 401 determines whether there are two or more passengers based on the identification information input in step S602. (Step S604).

  When the number of passengers is one in step S604 (step S604: No), the passenger is only the driver, and the process proceeds to step S606 as disclosing personal information of the driver. In step S604, when there are two or more passengers (step S604: Yes), the CPU 401 next determines whether or not to disclose the owner's personal information (step S605). The determination regarding the disclosure of the personal information may be made based on the identification information input in step S602, for example. If the number of passengers is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, it will be determined that the disclosure will not be made. It may be determined that the information may be disclosed if it is a family. In addition, it may be configured to prompt the owner to make a disclosure decision, prompting the user to determine whether or not to disclose personal information (or not to disclose it), or to determine the extent of personal information to be disclosed. Also good. For example, the degree of disclosure may be disclosed / non-disclosure according to the type of personal information. More specifically, the history of the searched destination point is disclosed and the registered point is not disclosed. It is.

  In step S605, when the owner's personal information is disclosed (step S605: Yes), the CPU 401 reads the owner's personal information (step S606). For example, the personal information may be read from a recording medium such as the magnetic disk 405 or the optical disk 407. Then, the navigation apparatus 300 starts the navigation process using the personal information read in step S606 (step S607), and ends the series of processes.

  If it is determined in step S605 that the passenger's personal information is not disclosed (step S605: No), the CPU 401 determines whether or not a password input is accepted via the input device 411 (step S608). ). In step S608, when input of a password is not accepted (step S608: No), it transfers to step S607 and continues a process.

  In step S608, when the input of the password is accepted (step S608: Yes), the CPU 401 determines whether or not it matches the disclosure password in the passenger's personal information (step S609). In step S609, if the password does not match the disclosure password (step S609: No), the process proceeds to step S607 and the process is continued.

  In step S609, if the password matches the disclosure password (step S609: Yes), the process proceeds to step S606 to continue the process. Note that the disclosure password may be set in association with personal information, for example, and may be configured according to the range to be disclosed in each personal information.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the passenger can be identified and the personal information can be disclosed and the navigation process can be performed based on the determination of whether or not the passenger's personal information is disclosed. . Therefore, it is possible to use a navigation device using personal information while appropriately protecting personal information.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether to disclose personal information based on the number of passengers in the vehicle and the identified result. Furthermore, it is possible to make the passenger judge whether or not the personal information of the passenger is disclosed, and it is possible to use the personal information according to the situation and to prevent unnecessary leakage of personal information.

With the seating sensor, information on the number of passengers and boarding positions can be acquired. The identification information may be input when the passenger gets on the vehicle.

  Of the functional configuration of the information disclosure apparatus 100 according to the embodiment, the detection unit 101, the input unit 104, and the authentication unit 105 are determined by the CPU 401, microphone 409, camera 417, input device 411, and various sensors 416. Are realized by the CPU 401 and the output unit 103 by the speaker 410 and the display 413, respectively.

(Contents of processing of navigation device 300)
Next, contents of processing of the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the contents of the disclosure process of the personal information of the passenger in the navigation apparatus according to the present embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, first, the navigation apparatus 300 determines whether or not the vehicle has accepted the passenger (step S501). Here, after waiting for the passenger to be accepted (step S501: Yes), the various sensors 416 accept the input of the passenger identification information (step S502). The identification information may be, for example, a passenger's fingerprint information, voice information, image information, or the like, and may receive input from a microphone 409, a camera 417, or the like in addition to the various sensors 416.

  Subsequently, the CPU 401 authenticates whether there is an unregistered passenger among the passengers whose identification information is input in step S502 (step S503). If there is no unregistered passenger (step S503: No), the CPU 401 determines whether there are two or more passengers based on the identification information input in step S502 (step S505). ).

  If there is an unregistered passenger (step S503: Yes), the passenger is registered (step S504). For example, the passenger may be registered by outputting a message prompting registration on the display 413 and registering the passenger by operating the input device 411 or the like. The passenger registration may be, for example, a configuration registered in advance, or may be a configuration in which the passenger history is accumulated and recorded together with personal information. In other words, even the unregistered passenger may record the input identification information and accumulate and store the personal information in association with the identification information from the time when the identification information is recorded.

  When the number of passengers is one in step S505 (step S505: No), the registered passenger is only the driver, and the process proceeds to step S507 as disclosing personal information of the driver. In step S505, if there are two or more passengers (step S505: Yes), the CPU 401 next determines whether or not to disclose the passenger's personal information (step S506). The determination regarding the disclosure of the personal information may be made based on the identification information input in step S502, for example. If the number of passengers is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, it may be determined that the disclosure will not be made, or if all the passengers are family members. For example, it may be determined that it may be disclosed. In addition, it may be configured to prompt the passengers to make a disclosure decision, prompting the passengers to disclose (or not disclose) personal information, and determining how much personal information to disclose. You may be prompted.

  In step S506, when the passenger's personal information is disclosed (step S506: Yes), the CPU 401 reads the passenger's personal information whose personal information can be disclosed (step S507). For example, the personal information may be read from a recording medium such as the magnetic disk 405 or the optical disk 407. Then, the navigation apparatus 300 uses the personal information read in step S507 to start navigation processing (step S508), and ends a series of processing.

  If it is determined in step S506 that the passenger's personal information is not disclosed (step S506: No), the CPU 401 determines whether or not an input of a password is accepted via the input device 411 (step S509). ). In step S509, when input of a password is not accepted (step S509: No), it transfers to step S508 and continues a process.

  In step S509, when the input of the password is accepted (step S509: Yes), the CPU 401 determines whether or not it matches the disclosure password in the passenger's personal information (step S510). In step S510, when the password does not match the disclosure password (step S510: No), the process proceeds to step S508 and the process is continued.

  In step S510, when the password matches the disclosure password (step S510: Yes), the process proceeds to step S507 and the process is continued. Note that the disclosure password may be set in association with personal information, for example, and may be configured according to the range to be disclosed in each personal information.

  Next, contents of another process of the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the content of the personal information disclosure process of the driver in the navigation device according to the present embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 6, first, the navigation apparatus 300 determines whether or not the vehicle has accepted the passenger (step S601). Here, after waiting for the passenger to be accepted (step S601: Yes), the various sensors 416 accept the input of the passenger identification information (step S602). The identification information may be, for example, a passenger's fingerprint information, voice information, image information, or the like, and may receive input from a microphone 409, a camera 417, or the like in addition to the various sensors 416.

  Subsequently, the CPU 401 determines whether or not the owner is a driver based on the identification information input in step S602 (step S603). For example, in step S602, the determination regarding the driver may determine whether the passenger who has input the identification information as a driver is a registered owner, or the identification information of the passenger who has boarded the driver's seat. You may determine if it belongs to the owner.

  In step S603, when the owner is not a driver (step S603: No), the CPU 401 determines whether or not an input of a password is accepted via the input device 411 (step S608).

  If the owner becomes a driver in step S603 (step S603: Yes), the CPU 401 determines whether there are two or more passengers based on the identification information input in step S602. (Step S604).

  When the number of passengers is one in step S604 (step S604: No), the passenger is only the driver, and the process proceeds to step S606 as disclosing personal information of the driver. In step S604, when there are two or more passengers (step S604: Yes), the CPU 401 next determines whether or not to disclose the owner's personal information (step S605). The determination regarding the disclosure of the personal information may be made based on the identification information input in step S602, for example. If the number of passengers is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, it will be determined that the disclosure will not be made. It may be determined that the information may be disclosed if it is a family. In addition, it may be configured to prompt the owner to make a disclosure decision, prompting the user to determine whether or not to disclose personal information (or not to disclose it), or to determine the extent of personal information to be disclosed. Also good. For example, the degree of disclosure may be disclosed / non-disclosure according to the type of personal information. More specifically, the history of the searched destination point is disclosed and the registered point is not disclosed. It is.

  In step S605, when the owner's personal information is disclosed (step S605: Yes), the CPU 401 reads the owner's personal information (step S606). For example, the personal information may be read from a recording medium such as the magnetic disk 405 or the optical disk 407. Then, the navigation apparatus 300 starts the navigation process using the personal information read in step S606 (step S607), and ends the series of processes.

  If it is determined in step S605 that the passenger's personal information is not disclosed (step S605: No), the CPU 401 determines whether or not a password input is accepted via the input device 411 (step S608). ). In step S608, when input of a password is not accepted (step S608: No), it transfers to step S607 and continues a process.

  In step S608, when the input of the password is accepted (step S608: Yes), the CPU 401 determines whether or not it matches the disclosure password in the passenger's personal information (step S609). In step S609, if the password does not match the disclosure password (step S609: No), the process proceeds to step S607 and the process is continued.

  In step S609, if the password matches the disclosure password (step S609: Yes), the process proceeds to step S606 to continue the process. Note that the disclosure password may be set in association with personal information, for example, and may be configured according to the range to be disclosed in each personal information.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the passenger can be identified and the personal information can be disclosed and the navigation process can be performed based on the determination of whether or not the passenger's personal information is disclosed. . Therefore, it is possible to use a navigation device using personal information while appropriately protecting personal information.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether to disclose personal information based on the number of passengers in the vehicle and the identified result. Furthermore, it is possible to make the passenger judge whether or not the personal information of the passenger is disclosed, and it is possible to use the personal information according to the situation and to prevent unnecessary leakage of personal information.

  According to the present embodiment, personal information is disclosed in the initial setting, and if a password for disclosure is set by the owner, the passenger enters the password and authenticates with the password for disclosure. Information disclosure or non-disclosure can be set. Therefore, since personal information can be disclosed and used as long as the password is heard from the owner of the personal information, the convenience of the navigation device can be improved while preventing the personal information from leaking.
