[0059] (Contents of processing of navigation device 300)

Next, the contents of the processing of the navigation device 300 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the process using the passenger information in the navigation device according to the first embodiment. In this figure, a case where preference information which is a passenger's preference is used as the passenger information will be described. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, the navigation apparatus 300 first determines whether or not a content reproduction instruction has been given (step S501). The content reproduction instruction may be configured, for example, by a passenger operating the user operation unit 302.

[0060] In step S501, waiting for the content playback instruction, and if there is an instruction (step S501: Yes), the passenger photographing unit 313 then photographs the passenger image (step S501: Yes). Step S502). The passenger image is shot, for example, by taking a still image of the passenger's face.

[0061] Then, the navigation control unit 301 generates passenger identification information from the passenger image taken in step S502 (step S503). The identification information includes, for example, information obtained by extracting the feature points of the passenger's face, and is collated with the registered identification information recorded on the recording medium 305.

[0062] Subsequently, the navigation control unit 301 collates the registered identification information pre-registered in the recording medium 305 with the identification information generated in step S503, and the identification information matches. It is determined whether or not (step S504). And the identification information matches If so (Step S504: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 reads from the recording medium 305 the passenger preference information of the registered identification information that matches the identification information (Step S505). The preference information is, for example, information related to the passenger's content preference, and if it is music, it includes information about genres such as Japanese music, Western music, and singer, and if it is video, such as animation and use.

Next, the navigation control unit 301 determines the content to be played based on the preference information read in step S 505 (step S 506), and outputs it to the display unit 303 or the audio processing unit 314.

[0064] Then, the audio processing unit 314 performs audio processing and outputs the content to the speaker 312. The display unit 303 or the speaker 312 reproduces the content (step S507), and the series of processing ends.

In step S504, if the identification information does not match (step S504: No), it is determined whether or not to register a passenger (step S508). For example, the passenger registration may be configured to display a message indicating that the passenger registration is required on the display unit 303 and to prompt the passenger to determine whether or not to register!

[0066] If the passenger is not registered in step S508 (step S508: No), the navigation control unit 301 outputs a content selection request to the display unit 303 (step S510). Also, the selection of content is accepted (step S511). Then, the navigation control unit 301 outputs the content to the display unit 303 or the audio processing unit 314 based on the content selection. Then, the audio processing unit 314 performs audio processing and outputs the content to the speech power 312. The display unit 303 or the speaker 312 reproduces the content (step S507), and the series of processing ends.

[0067] In addition, if step S508 is not required! /, Do not register the passenger! / (Step S508: Yes), a message such as prompting the passenger to register is displayed on the display 303. Then, registration identification information and preference information of the passenger are registered (step S509). Registration of registration identification information of a passenger is performed by, for example, extracting feature points from a passenger image photographed by the passenger photographing unit 313. In addition, the preference information may be registered by the user operating the user operation unit 302. Then, the process returns to step S504 and the same processing is repeated. [0068] Note that, in the description of Fig. 5, the configuration is such that a passenger image is photographed (step S502) after waiting for the content reproduction instruction (step S501: Yes). The passenger image may be taken before the content reproduction instruction is given (step S502). For example, take a picture of the passenger at predetermined intervals during boarding, when starting the vehicle engine, when operating the passenger, and during travel (step S502), and wait for the content playback indication. Moho.

[0069] In the description of FIG. 5, the passenger image is taken and the identification information is generated based on the information obtained by extracting the feature points of the passenger's face, but the passenger is not the identification information of the individual passenger. The configuration may be such that the number of people and the configuration are generated as identification information. Specifically, for example, the number and composition of passengers can be identified. If you are riding with a large number of people, content such as live music is played, and if you are a family with children, programs for children, etc. The content may be played back.

In the description of FIG. 5, in step S 505, preference information is read from the recording medium 305 as passenger information of the passenger whose identification information matches, but the age and gender of the passenger are read. Thus, it may be configured to play content suitable for age and gender. Specifically, for example, a child-aged passenger can play content such as a program for children, and a female-only passenger can play content such as a cooking program.

Further, in the explanation of FIG. 5, instead of reading the passenger's preference information that may be recorded in association with the passenger's viewing history in the content recorded in the recording medium 305, the content is recorded according to the viewing history. Thus, the content that was viewed halfway during the last boarding may be replayed from the continuation.

[0072] Next, a case where a passenger's behavior is photographed by the passenger photographing unit 313 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the contents of the process using the behavior information in the navigation device according to the first embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 6, first, the navigation apparatus 300 determines whether or not a content reproduction instruction has been given (step S601). The content reproduction instruction may be, for example, a configuration in which the passenger operates the user operation unit 302. [0073] In step S601, waiting for the content playback instruction, and if there is an instruction (step S601: Yes), next, the passenger photographing unit 313 photographs the behavior of the passenger. (Step 602). For example, the movement of the occupant's eyeball may be photographed.

[0074] Then, the navigation control unit 301 generates the passenger's behavior information from the movement of the passenger's eye shot in step S602 (step S603). The behavior information includes, for example, information obtained by extracting feature points of the passenger's eye movements, and specific behavior information including characteristics of eye movements such as sleepiness and fatigue recorded in the recording medium 305 in advance. Are to be verified.

[0075] Subsequently, the navigation control unit 301 collates the specific behavior information registered in advance in the recording medium 305 with the behavior information generated in step S603! /, Then, it is determined whether or not the passenger is in a specific behavior state (step S604). If it is in the specific motion state (step S604: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 determines the content to be played based on the specific motion state (step S605). Specifically, for example, when the passenger shows sleepy behavior, if the passenger is a driver, the content to be played is relatively noisy and the content is determined. It may be configured to determine the content of the song that has arrived.

Next, the navigation control unit 301 reads the content determined in step S 605 from the recording medium 305 and outputs it to the display unit 303 or the audio processing unit 314. Then, the audio processing unit 314 performs audio processing and outputs the content to the speaker 312. The display unit 303 or the speaker 312 reproduces the content (step S606), and the series of processing ends.

In step S604, if the passenger is not in the specific behavior state (step S604: No), the process returns to step S602 and the same process is repeated. If the occupant is not in the specific behavior state, the occupant may be notified to that effect and be prompted to select content. In addition, it is possible to set the content in the case of not being in the specific behavior state in advance and play it back.

In the description of FIG. 6, after an instruction for content reproduction is given, In this case (step S601: Yes), the force that is configured to capture the passenger's behavior (step S602) may be configured to capture the passenger's behavior (step S602) before the content playback instruction is issued. For example, brute force, take a picture of the passenger's behavior at predetermined intervals during boarding, when the engine of the vehicle is started, when the passenger operates, and during travel (step S602), and a content playback instruction is issued. You can wait.

[0079] In addition, in the description of FIG. 6, in step S602, movement information is generated by photographing movements of the passenger's eyeballs. For example, force may generate behavior information. For example, if a passenger opens a window, it may be a behavior that makes V feel hot and feels uncomfortable, and even if behavior information is generated on the behavior of the whole body and noise, it generates noise. Yo ヽ.

It should be noted that content output in the first embodiment may control content reproduction for each of the forces that are configured via one or more display units 303 or speaker force 312. For example, a display unit 303 may be provided for each seat of the vehicle, and content suitable for each passenger of each seat may be reproduced.

[0081] Further, in the first embodiment, the processing using the passenger information and the processing using the behavior information are processed together with the respective functions of the forces described with reference to Figs. 5 and 6. It is good as composition.

Further, in the first embodiment, the passenger is photographed from the passenger photographing unit 313 such as a camera, and the passenger identification information or the behavior information is generated. Instead of taking a picture, it may be configured to generate identification information that identifies the passenger or passenger behavior information from information acquired by other sensors.

[0083] The identification information or the behavior information may be generated using, for example, a seating sensor that detects a load distribution or a total load on a seat on which a passenger is seated. Information on the number and physique of the passengers can be obtained by the seating sensor. One or more fingerprint sensors may be provided at predetermined positions in the vehicle. The fingerprint sensor can acquire the passenger's fingerprint information and identify the passenger. A voice sensor such as a microphone may be provided in the car. Voice information such as the volume, sound quality, and pitch of the passenger can be acquired by the voice sensor, so that the passenger can be identified, and the number, gender, sleepiness, etc. can be determined. Also, pulse A human body sensor for measurement may be used. For example, by using information such as the pulse, the physical condition of the passenger can be grasped, and the behavior of the passenger can be determined.

[0084] In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which personal information is acquired from a mobile phone owned by the passenger! Alternatively, information such as the number of people may be acquired by detecting the attachment / detachment of a seat belt or a child seat.

As described above, according to the content providing apparatus, the content providing method, the content providing program, and the computer-readable recording medium according to the first embodiment, the user can input the content by his / her input operation. Even without setting, content can be output based on the passenger information and behavior of the passenger. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently output content suitable for the passenger.

[0086] As described above, the navigation device 300 according to the first embodiment captures the passenger and generates identification information and behavior information of the passenger. The content to be played can be determined by comparing the identification information, behavior information with the registered identification information, and the specific behavior information. wear.

[0087] In addition, instead of taking a picture of a passenger, information obtained by various means such as a seating sensor, a fingerprint sensor, and a voice sensor can be used, so that versatility can be improved. Monkey.

[0088] In addition, if the driver plays drowsiness to play content that matches the behavior of the passenger, if the driver plays noisy music, the drowsiness will be eliminated, and inconvenient behavior will be corrected. Can do.

[0089] In addition, since content can be played back based on the passenger's viewing history, for example, the content that the passenger has recently viewed can be prevented from being repeated, or the content that the passenger has watched halfway can be continued. Can be used to provide complete content to passengers. Therefore, even if the passenger does not set the content himself, the content provision can be optimized.

[0090] (Embodiment 2)

Example 2

[0105] Example 2 of the present invention will be described below. In the second embodiment, an example in which the content providing device of the present invention is implemented by the navigation device 300 shown in FIG. 3 will be described. Note that the description of the hardware configuration of the navigation device 300 is omitted for functions that are the same as those in FIG. The interior of the vehicle equipped with the navigation device 300 is almost the same as that in FIG.

[0106] (Hardware configuration of navigation device 300)

In FIG. 3, the map information recorded on the recording medium 305 includes destination point information and stop-off point information. Destination information and stop-point information are based on, for example, the passenger's registered identification information, and the passenger information determined based on the passenger information of the identified passenger and the specific behavior information of the passenger. Is associated with a specific behavior state. Then, the destination point information and the stop point information are read according to the result of the passenger identification and behavior determination in the navigation control unit 301. Passenger information is, for example, information including characteristics such as preference, age, and gender, and the layout of passengers and personnel. The specific behavior state is, for example, the physical state of the passenger such as sleepiness, fatigue, or physical condition.

[0107] Further, the destination point information and the stop point information include facility information such as restaurants and amusement facilities. The facility information is, for example, discount information according to the number of passengers, age, etc., recommended information, vacancy information of the facility, etc., and the facility power can also be acquired by the communication unit 308 described later. [0108] Also, the current position acquired by the position acquisition unit 304 or the departure point designated by the user from the user operation unit 302 is set as the departure point of the route searched by the route search unit 309. In addition to setting the destination point specified by the user or the facility that has been searched for map data by genre search, etc. as the destination point, the passenger information of the passenger and the specific behavior of the passenger described above are set. A configuration may be adopted in which the destination point is set from destination point information associated with the state.

[0109] Further, a stop point may be set on the route searched by the route search unit 309. The setting of the stop point is, for example, a point specified by the user from the user operation unit 302 or the stop point information based on the stop point information associated with the above-described passenger information of the passenger or the specific behavior state of the passenger. May be set.

[0110] The setting of the destination point and the stop point may be configured such that a request for use of the facility is made via the communication unit 308 as necessary, and the point where the request is accepted is set. Requests regarding the use of facilities, for example, to confirm availability of passengers, ask for availability, reserve restaurants with discounts by passengers, and reserve waiting times. You may make reservations to amusement facilities that can be reduced, and set the destination or stopover point for facilities that you have confirmed or reserved.

[0111] The passenger identification unit 701, the passenger information acquisition unit 702, and the behavior detection unit 705, which are functional configurations of the content providing apparatus 700 according to the second embodiment, are a navigation control unit 301 and a passenger photographing unit 313. Thus, the point information setting unit 703 realizes the function by the route search unit 309, and the point information output unit 704 realizes the function by the display unit 303 and the speaker 312.

[0112] (Contents of processing of navigation device 300)

Next, the contents of the processing of the navigation device 300 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the process using the passenger information in the navigation device according to the second embodiment. In this flowchart, a process for setting a destination point using passenger information will be described. In the flowchart of FIG. 9, the navigation apparatus 300 first determines whether or not a route guidance request has been made (step S901). The route guidance request is, for example, when the passenger is a user It may be configured to operate the operation unit 302.

[0113] In step S901, after waiting for a route guidance request, if there is a request (step S901: Yes), then the passenger photographing unit 313 photographs a passenger image (step S902). For example, the passenger image is taken by taking a still image of the face of the passenger.

[0114] Then, the navigation control unit 301 generates passenger identification information from the passenger image captured in step S902 (step S903). The identification information includes, for example, information obtained by extracting the feature points of the passenger's face, and is collated with the registered identification information recorded on the recording medium 305.

[0115] Next, the navigation control unit 301 collates the registered identification information pre-registered in the recording medium 305 with the identification information generated in step S903, so that the identification information matches. It is determined whether or not (step S904). If the identification information matches (step S 904: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 obtains the destination point associated with the passenger information of the passenger of the registered identification information that matches the identification information from the recording medium 305. Information is read (step S905). The destination point information associated with the passenger information relates to the passenger's preference, for example, and may be configured to read destination point information such as a restaurant preferred by the passenger. In addition, information indicating that the passenger has stopped in the past may be managed in association with the destination information, and the destination information may be removed and the other destination information may be read. The determination of “stopped in the past” can be made, for example, when a destination point of the vehicle is set in the past and the vehicle has arrived at the destination point. In addition, the passenger may set their own evaluation for the destination information that the passenger has visited in the past, and read the high-V destination information of the evaluation! The “specific evaluation setting” may be configured such that the passenger inputs an original score for the destination point felt by the passenger and sets the target point having a high score as the high evaluation destination point.

[0116] Then, the route search unit 309 sets a destination point based on the destination point information read in step S905 (step S906).

[0117] Then, the route guidance unit 310 generates route guidance information for guiding the user to the destination set in step S906 and outputs the route guidance information to the navigation control unit 301. . Then, the navigation control unit 301 controls the navigation device 300 based on the route guidance information, guides the route (step S907), and ends the series of processes.

[0118] If the identification information does not match in step S904 (step S904: No), it is determined whether or not to register a passenger (step S908). For example, the passenger registration may be configured to display a message indicating that the passenger registration is required on the display unit 303 and to prompt the passenger to determine whether or not to register!

[0119] In step S908, when the passenger is not registered (step S908: No), the navigation control unit 301 outputs a destination selection request to the display unit 303 (step S910). The destination selection is accepted from (Step S911). Then, the route search unit 309 sets a destination point based on the selection of the destination point in step S911 (step S906). Then, the route guidance unit 310 generates route guidance information for guiding the user to the destination set in step S906 and outputs the route guidance information to the navigation control unit 301. Then, the navigation control unit 301 controls the navigation device 300 based on the route guidance information, guides the route (step S907), and ends the series of processes.

[0120] If the passenger is to be registered in step S908 (step S908: Yes), the registration identification information of the passenger is displayed, for example, by prompting the display 303 to prompt the passenger to register. Is registered (step S909). Registration of registration identification information of a passenger is performed by, for example, extracting feature points from a passenger image photographed by the passenger photographing unit 313. In addition, the passenger information may be registered by operating the user operation unit 302 by the user. Then, the process returns to step S904 and the same processing is repeated.

[0121] In the description of Fig. 9, a configuration is adopted in which a passenger image is photographed (step S902) after waiting for a route guidance request and when there is a request (step S901: Yes). The passenger image may be taken before the route guidance is requested (step S902). For example, the passenger image may be taken at the time of boarding, when the engine of the vehicle is started, or when the passenger is operated (step S902), and a route guidance request may be waited.

[0122] In the description of Fig. 9, the passenger image is taken and the identification information is generated based on the information obtained by extracting the feature points of the passenger's face, but the passenger is not the identification information of the individual passenger. Personnel Or the structure which produces | generates a structure as identification information may be sufficient. Specifically, for example, the number and composition of passengers should be identified so that the boarding of many people and boarding with families with children can be identified.

[0123] Further, in step S905, the destination point information associated with the passenger information is, for example, related to the passenger's preference, but is also associated with age, gender, placement, personnel, history, etc. It is good also as composition which has. More specifically, if the passenger is an elderly person, a restaurant for the elderly, a facility that the passenger has visited in the past, or a shop that has a reputation for the passenger in the past. In addition, discount shops according to the number of passengers, shops with recommended services, facilities for families for families, and amusement facilities for friends are linked to destination information. .

[0124] In addition, the setting of the destination point in step S906 may be configured such that a request for using the facility is made via the communication unit 308 as necessary, and the point where the request is accepted is set. More specifically, depending on the number of passengers, you may make reservations for restaurants and amusement facilities and set the power.

[0125] Next, a case where the passenger's behavior is photographed by the passenger photographing unit 313 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the contents of the process using the behavior information in the navigation device according to the second embodiment. In this flowchart, the behavior information is used for V and the process of setting a stop point is described. In the flowchart of FIG. 10, first, the navigation apparatus 300 determines whether or not there is a request for route guidance (step S1001). The route guidance request may be configured, for example, by the passenger operating the user operation unit 302! /.

[0126] In step S1001, a request for route guidance is waited for and if there is an instruction (step S1001: Yes), then the passenger photographing unit 313 photographs the behavior of the passenger (step S1002). For example, the movement of the passenger's eyeball may be imaged.

[0127] Then, the navigation control unit 301 generates the passenger's behavior information from the movement of the passenger's eye shot in step S1002 (step S1003). The behavior information includes, for example, information obtained by extracting feature points of the movement of the passenger's eyeball, and is recorded in advance. The specific behavior information including the characteristics of eye movements such as sleepiness and fatigue recorded in the medium 305 is checked.

[0128] Next, the navigation control unit 301 compares the specific behavior information registered in advance on the recording medium 305 with the behavior information generated in step S1003, and the passenger identifies It is determined whether or not the force is in the behavior state (step S1004). If it is in the specific behavior state (step S 1004: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 reads the stop point information associated with the specific behavior state based on the specific behavior state (step S 1005). . Specifically, for example, when the passenger shows sleepy behavior, if the passenger is a driver, the point where the passenger can take a break can be read as the stop point information from the recording medium 305.

[0129] Next, the route search unit 309 sets a stop point based on the stop point information read in step S1005 (step S1006). Then, the route guidance unit 310 generates route guidance information for guiding the user to the stop point set in step S 1006 and outputs the route guidance information to the navigation control unit 301. Then, the navigation control unit 301 controls the navigation device 300 based on the route guidance information, guides the route (step S 1007), and ends the series of processes.

In step S 1004, if the passenger is not in the specific behavior state (step S 1004: No), the process returns to step S 1002 and the same processing is repeated. If the passenger is not in a specific motion state, the passenger may be notified of this fact and prompted to set a stop point. In addition, when the state is not a specific behavior state, a route may be guided in advance by setting a break point as a stop point every predetermined time.

[0131] In the description of FIG. 10, the configuration is such that the behavior of the passenger is photographed (Step S1002) after waiting for the request for route guidance (Step S1001: Yes). It may be configured so that the behavior of the passenger is photographed before the force route guidance is requested (step S1002). For example, intensify and photograph the passenger's behavior at predetermined intervals during boarding, when the vehicle engine is started, when the passenger is operating, and during travel (step S 1 002). You may wait. Alternatively, the behavior of passengers can be photographed at predetermined intervals, and behaviors such as fatigue and sleepiness can be promptly guided to resting points. As good as.

[0132] In the description of Fig. 10, behavior information is generated by photographing the movement of the passenger's eyeballs in step S1002, but the opening and closing of the window, the movement of the entire body of the passenger, the volume in the vehicle, etc. Forces may also generate behavior information. For example, if a passenger opens a window, the behavior may be hot and uncomfortable, and the behavior information related to the behavior may be generated based on the movement and volume of the entire body. ,.

[0133] In addition, the setting of the stop point in step S1006 may be configured such that a request for use of the facility is made via the communication unit 308 as necessary, and the point where the request is accepted is set. More specifically, depending on the number of passengers, you may make a reservation for a restaurant to take a break and set the power.

[0134] Further, in the second embodiment, the processing using the passenger information and the processing using the behavior information are processed together with the functions of the respective forces described with reference to Figs. 9 and 10. It is good as composition.

[0135] In the second embodiment, the passenger is photographed from the passenger photographing unit 313 such as a camera, and the identification information of the passenger or the behavior information is generated. Instead of taking a picture, it may be configured to generate identification information that identifies the passenger or passenger behavior information from information acquired by other sensors.

[0136] Identification information or behavior information may be generated using, for example, a seating sensor that detects a load distribution and a total load on a seat on which a passenger is seated. By using the seating sensor, it is possible to obtain information on the passenger's personnel and physique. One or more fingerprint sensors may be provided at predetermined positions in the vehicle. The fingerprint sensor can obtain the passenger's fingerprint information and identify the passenger. In addition, a voice sensor such as a microphone may be provided in the vehicle. Voice information such as the volume, sound quality, and pitch of the passenger can be obtained by the voice sensor, so that the passenger can be identified, and the personnel, gender, sleepiness, etc. can be determined.

[0137] It is also possible to obtain personal information from the mobile phone owned by the passenger! Alternatively, information such as personnel may be acquired by detecting the attachment / detachment of a seat belt or child seat.

[0138] As described above, according to the second embodiment, the user can input the ground by his / her input operation. Even without setting point information, point information can be output based on the passenger information and behavior of the passenger. Therefore, it is possible to output point information suitable for the passenger efficiently and accurately.

[0139] According to the second embodiment, the passenger is photographed to generate the identification information and behavior information of the passenger. In addition, because the identification point, behavior information, registered identification information, and specific behavior information can be compared to set the target point or stopover point, it is possible to set the optimal point for the passenger's situation that the passenger does not set himself. Can be planned.

[0140] In addition, when setting a destination point or stopover point, it is possible to make a reservation by setting a facility according to the passenger's personnel, etc., thus reducing wasteful waiting time after reaching the destination point or stopover point Can be achieved. In addition, discount information, recommended information, and vacancy information of facilities according to the passenger's personnel and age, etc. can be acquired, so it is possible to set the optimum destination or stopover point for the passenger.

[0141] In addition, instead of taking a picture of the passenger, information obtained by various means such as a seating sensor, a fingerprint sensor, and a voice sensor can be used, so that versatility can be improved. Monkey.

[0142] In addition, since the stop point is set in accordance with the behavior of the passenger, if the driver is rested by drowsiness, guiding him to a place where he can take a break can lead to relieving drowsiness and driving safely. it can.

[0143] In addition, since the destination point or stop point can be set based on the history of the destination point or stop point of the passenger, for example, the passenger may be repeatedly guided to the most recent point. Can be prevented. On the other hand, it is also possible to guide to a point that is reputable to the passenger. Therefore, the point setting can be optimized even if the passenger does not set the destination point or the stop point by himself / herself.

[0144] Note that the content providing method described in the first and second embodiments is realized by executing a program prepared in advance on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. Can do. This program is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM ゝ MO, and a DVD, and the recording medium power is read by the computer. Therefore, it is executed. The program may be a transmission medium that can be distributed via a network such as the Internet.
