The control unit 302 controls the information processing apparatus 30 as a whole. The control unit 302 includes a CPU, RAM, ROM, and the like. The control unit 302 performs processing such as transmitting document data in a range according to the authority of the user among the document data requested by the user of the mounting device 10A to the mounting device 10A via the communication unit 301 and the network 50. Do. Details of processing executed by the control unit 302 will be described later.

The storage unit 303 is, for example, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory such as a flash memory or a hard disk drive. The storage unit 303 stores a user authority management table (see FIG. 3) for managing user authority, document data (see FIGS. 4A and 4B), and a disclosure information control table (see FIG. 4C). ) Is stored.

Here, the user authority management table will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the user authority management table has items of device ID, user name, title, and authority. In the item of device ID, information for identifying each mounting device 10A (here, the device identification number) is stored. The user name item stores the name of a user who uses the mounting apparatus 10A, that is, a regular user set in each mounting apparatus 10A. The title of the user is stored in the title field. The authority item stores the authority that the user has. For example, in FIG. 3, information is stored that the authorized user K of the mounting apparatus 10 A with the device ID “ID0001” is an assistant and has no authority. In addition, information that the authorized user L of the mounting apparatus 10A with the device ID “ID0002” has a job title and has authority A is stored. Further, the user M who uses the mounting apparatus 10A with the device ID “ID0003” stores information that the job title is the personnel department manager and has the authority B. In this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that one user is registered as a regular user for one mounting apparatus 10A.

Next, document data and a disclosure information restriction table will be described. Assume that the storage unit 303 stores, for example, document data D10 as shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the document data D10 includes a company outline, a product cost list, and personnel information. The document data D10 includes, for example, a first part P10 including a company outline, a second part P11 including a product cost list, and personnel information by a company security administrator or the like as shown in FIG. It is assumed that the third part P12 is included. Then, the security administrator determines what authority P10 to P12 are disclosed to the authorized user and stores them in the disclosure information control table (see FIG. 4C).

Here, the disclosure information control table has a data structure as shown in FIG. 4C, for example. Specifically, the disclosure information control table has items of file name, partial information, and authority. The file name item stores the name of the document data. The part information item stores information for identifying each part of the document data. As information for identifying each part of the document data, information such as the start page, start line, end page, and end line of the part is stored. In FIG. 4C, the illustration is simplified. Therefore, codes “P10 to P12” representing each part are stored in the item field of the partial information. The authority item stores the authority range of the user who can disclose each part of the document data.

In the disclosure information control table of FIG. 4C, for example, it is defined that the first part P10 (company outline) of the document data with the file name D10 can be disclosed even to a user who does not have special authority. Further, it is defined that the second part P11 (product cost list) can be disclosed to a user having authority A or B. In addition, it is defined that the third part P12 (personnel information) can be disclosed to a user having authority B. In the following, information that can be disclosed to a user who does not have any authority, that is, information such as the first part P10 in FIG. Information that can be disclosed to the user having the information, that is, information such as the second part P11 and the third part P12 in FIG. 4C is described as “secret information”.

(Processing of information processing system 500A)
Next, the processing of the information processing system 500A will be described in detail based on FIGS. 5 to 6B. 5 is a flowchart showing the process of the mounting device 10A, FIG. 6A is a flowchart showing the process of the information processing device 30, and FIG. 6B shows the process of the portable device 20A. It is a flowchart to show. Note that the processes of FIGS. 5, 6A, and 6B are executed in parallel. As a premise of the processing, the mounting device 10A and the portable device 20A are paired in advance by, for example, bringing the mounting device 10A and the portable device 20A into contact with each other, making them close to each other, or mounting them on the user. Assume that document data can be transferred between the paired mounting device 10A and portable device 20A. Further, the portable device 20A executes the process of FIG. 6B when it exists in the vicinity of the mounting device 10A paired with the portable device 20A. Here, whether or not the portable device 20A and the mounting device 10A paired with the portable device 20A exist in the vicinity can be determined from the detection results of the

position detection units

106 and 206. . Alternatively, when the mounting device 10A and the portable device 20A have a communication unit capable of proximity communication or human body communication, the mounting device 10A and the portable device 20A are close to each other based on the communication state of the communication unit. It can also be determined whether or not it exists.

The processing in FIG. 5 is started at the timing when the user turns on the power of the mounting device 10A or when the pairing with the portable device 20A is established. In the process of FIG. 5, first, in step S11, the control unit 109 of the mounting apparatus 10A waits until the user mounts the mounting apparatus 10A. In this case, the control unit 109 proceeds to step S12 when it can be determined that the user has mounted the mounting device 10A based on the detection result input from the detection unit 111.

In step S12, the control unit 109 detects the user's biological information and authenticates the user. In the first embodiment, the control unit 109 controls the retina detection unit 105 to detect the user's retina and authenticates the user by matching with the user's retina pattern stored in the storage unit 107. .

Next, in step S13, the control unit 109 determines whether or not the user has removed the mounting device 10A, that is, whether or not the user continues to mount the mounting device 10A based on the detection result of the detection unit 111, for example. Judgment. If the determination here is affirmed, the process returns to step S11. If the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the control unit 109 determines whether a display request for information (such as document data) has been received from the user. The user requests display of information by, for example, performing a predetermined operation (such as a tap) on the operation unit 103 or sounding information (for example, a file name) to be viewed toward the microphone 104. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step S13. If the determination is positive, the control unit 109 proceeds to step S15.

When the process proceeds to step S15, the control unit 109 determines whether or not the user wearing the mounting device 10A is a regular user of the mounting device 10A based on the authentication result in step S12. If the user wearing the mounting apparatus 10A is not a regular user, the control unit 109 displays an error display such as “cannot display document data because it is not a regular user” via the display unit 102 in step S23. To display. Thereafter, the process returns to step S14. The error display when the user is not an authorized user is displayed when a user other than the authorized user wears the wearing device 10A (when borrowed from the authorized user or illegally acquired). This is because the confidentiality of the document data is improved by not displaying the document data on the unit 102. On the other hand, if the user wearing the mounting apparatus 10A is a regular user, the control unit 109 proceeds to step S16.

In step S16, the control unit 109 requests the information processing apparatus 30 to transmit the information requested by the user. Note that the control unit 109 also transmits the device ID of the mounting apparatus 10 A to the information processing apparatus 30 at the time of the request. In the user authority management table of FIG. 3, when a plurality of user names (regular users) are registered for one device ID, the control unit 109 transmits the authenticated user name at the time of request. You may do it.

After step S16, the control unit 109 waits until information is received from the information processing apparatus 30 in step S17.

On the other hand, the control unit 302 of the information processing apparatus 30 stands by until an information transmission request is received from the mounting apparatus 10A in step S31 of FIG. Therefore, the control unit 302 proceeds to step S33 when the information transmission request is received from the mounting apparatus 10A (step S16 in FIG. 5 is executed).

In step S33, the control unit 302 extracts information according to the authority of the authorized user of the mounting device 10A from the storage unit 303 and transmits the information to the mounting device 10A. For example, when the device ID received from the mounting apparatus 10A is “ID0002”, the control unit 302 acquires authority A as the authority of the authorized user L from the user authority management table of FIG. And the control part 302 extracts the information which can be disclosed with respect to the user who has the authority A from the memory | storage part 303 based on the disclosure information control table of FIG.4 (c). For example, when the authorized user L requests display of the document data with the file name “D01”, information that can be disclosed to the user having authority A is the first part P10 (public information) from the disclosure information control table. It turns out that it is the 2nd part P11 (secret information). Therefore, the control unit 302 transmits information on the first part P10 and the second part P11 in the document data to the mounting apparatus 10A. After the end of step S33, the control unit 302 ends all the processes in FIG. Note that the control unit 302 also repeats the process of FIG. 6A while the power is on even after the entire process of FIG.

Returning to FIG. 5, the control unit 109 of the mounting apparatus 10 A waits until information is received from the information processing apparatus 30 in step S 17 as described above, and therefore the process of step S 33 in FIG. The process proceeds to step S18 at the timing.

When the process proceeds to step S18, the control unit 109 acquires the user's environment information. In the first embodiment, the control unit 109 acquires information about the network 50 (for example, an in-house LAN or a public wireless LAN) to which the mounting apparatus 10A is connected from the position detection unit 106.

Next, in step S19, the control unit 109 determines whether or not the user is in a predetermined environment. In the first embodiment, the control unit 109 determines whether the network 50 to which the mounting apparatus 10A is connected is an in-house LAN of a company where the user works. That is, the control unit 109 determines whether or not the user wearing the mounting apparatus 10A is in a company where the user works.

If the user is in a predetermined environment (for example, in a company), the determination in step S19 is affirmed, and the control unit 109 proceeds to step S20 and transmits public information and secret information to the portable device 20A. That is, when the user is in the company, the control unit 109 determines that the secret information may be displayed on the portable device 20A, and transmits the information to the portable device 20A without limiting the information. Note that when the user is in the company, the display unit 202 of the portable device 20A displays the document data on the portable device 20A without displaying the document data on the mounting device 10A. This is because it is easier to see than the display unit 102 of the mounting apparatus 10A.

On the other hand, when the user is not in a predetermined environment (for example, in a company), the control unit 109 proceeds to step S21.

In step S21, the control unit 109 displays confidential information on the display unit 102 among the document data received from the information processing apparatus 30. For example, in the case of the authorized user L of the mounting apparatus 10A, the first part P10 (public information) and the second part P11 (secret information) are transmitted from the information processing apparatus 30 as document data. 7A, the second part P11 (product cost list), which is secret information, is displayed on the display unit 102. As shown in FIG.

Next, in step S22, the control unit 109 transmits public information among the document data received from the information processing device 30 to the portable device 20A. In the first embodiment, information of the first part P10 (company outline) is transmitted to the portable device 20A as public information. When the process of step S22 is completed, the control unit 109 returns to step S14.

On the other hand, in the process of FIG. 6B, in step S41, the control unit 209 of the portable device 20A stands by until information is received from the mounting device 10A. Therefore, the control unit 209 moves to step S43 at the timing when the process of step S20 or S22 of FIG. 5 is executed, and displays the received information on the display unit 202. Here, for example, when the authorized user L of the mounting apparatus 10A is in a predetermined environment (for example, in a company), the first part P10 (public information) and the second part P11 (secret information) are mounted as document data. Since it is transmitted from the device 10A, the control unit 209 displays the first part P10 (public information) and the second part P11 (secret information) on the display unit 202. On the other hand, when the authorized user L of the mounting apparatus 10A is not in a predetermined environment (for example, in a company), the first part P10 (public information) is transmitted from the mounting apparatus 10A as document data, and the second part P11 (secret information). ) Is not transmitted, the control unit 209 displays the first part P10 (public information) on the display unit 202. After that, the control unit 209 ends all the processes in FIG. Note that the control unit 209 repeats the process of FIG. 6B while the power is on even after the entire process of FIG.

Note that when the public information is displayed on the display unit 202 and the secret information is not displayed on the display unit 202, the control unit 209 displays a predetermined mark (for example, as illustrated in FIG. 7B) in an area where the secret information is to be arranged. Such as a two-dimensional code C1). As a result, on the mounting device 10A side, a user wearing the mounting device 10A uses the AR (Augmented Reality: Augmented Reality) technology using an image obtained by capturing a predetermined mark by the imaging unit 101, as shown in FIG. It is possible to display a display as shown in FIG.
