 また、特許文献2には、複数のユーザで使用する表示装置に利用期限や利用回数が定められていて、それらの制限を超えた場合にその表示装置を回収する仕組みの中で、情報流出を防ぐための技術が開示されている。例えば、表示装置の回収が必要になるイベントとして、利用期限や利用回数への到達、表示装置の動作不良を検出し、それらのイベントが検出されると、表示装置の表示内容を回収先の宛先情報に変更し、メモリからデータを削除する方法が記載されている。 Further, Patent Document 2 has a usage time limit and the number of times of use for a display device used by a plurality of users, and information is leaked in a mechanism for collecting the display device when those limits are exceeded. Techniques for preventing this are disclosed. For example, as an event that requires the collection of the display device, the expiration of the usage period or the number of uses, the malfunction of the display device are detected, and when these events are detected, the display content of the display device is sent to the collection destination address It describes how to change to information and delete data from memory.

 以下、本発明の表示装置を、図1~図5を参照して説明する。
 図1は、本発明に係る一実施形態における表示装置の最小構成を示す図である。
 本発明の表示装置10は、図1に示すように、少なくとも表示部11と、予測部13と、画面制御部14と、を備える。
 表示部11は、データを不揮発的に表示する。不揮発的に表示とは、ある表示データを表示させた後、給電を停止した後もその表示データを表示し続けることをいう。表示部11は、例えば、電気泳動ディスプレイである。電気泳動ディスプレイは、データの書き換え時のみ電力を消費し、電源を停止しても表示データが残る表示媒体である。また、表示部11は、例えば、専用ペンによるデータ入力が可能である。
The display device of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a minimum configuration of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the display device 10 of the present invention includes at least a display unit 11, a prediction unit 13, and a screen control unit 14.
The display unit 11 displays data in a nonvolatile manner. “Non-volatile display” means that after a certain display data is displayed, the display data is continuously displayed even after power supply is stopped. The display unit 11 is, for example, an electrophoretic display. An electrophoretic display is a display medium that consumes power only when data is rewritten, and display data remains even when the power is turned off. The display unit 11 can input data with a dedicated pen, for example.
 予測部13は、表示装置10の表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測する。上述のとおり、表示部11に一旦、データの表示を行うと、次に説明する画面制御部14が表示データの書き換えを行わない限り、その表示が残る性質を有している。
 予測部13は、画面制御部14による表示データの書き換え機能の喪失を予測する。書き換え機能の喪失は、例えば、表示装置10に落下などによる強い衝撃が加わったり、筐体を変形させる強い力が加わったり、画面制御を行う回路に劣化などによる不具合が生じた場合に起こる。
 予測部13は、表示装置10に加わる加速度、変形(歪)、回路の動作不良を検出し、その検出結果に基づいて表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測する。
The prediction unit 13 predicts the loss of the display rewriting function of the display device 10. As described above, once data is displayed on the display unit 11, the display remains unless the screen control unit 14 described below rewrites the display data.
The prediction unit 13 predicts the loss of the display data rewriting function by the screen control unit 14. The loss of the rewriting function occurs, for example, when a strong impact due to dropping or the like is applied to the display device 10, a strong force that deforms the casing is applied, or a malfunction occurs due to deterioration in a circuit that performs screen control.
The prediction unit 13 detects acceleration applied to the display device 10, deformation (distortion), and circuit malfunction, and predicts the loss of the display rewriting function based on the detection result.
 画面制御部14は、表示部11に表示される表示内容を制御する。例えば、画面制御部14は、表示部11にユーザが所望するデータを表示したり、表示部11に表示されたデータを消去したりする。
 ユーザが所望するデータとは、例えば、後述する記憶部12が記憶するデータ、または、表示部11に対して入力されたデータである。特に、本実施形態においては、画面制御部14は、予測部13が表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測した場合、表示部11の表示を変更(消去)する。
The screen control unit 14 controls display contents displayed on the display unit 11. For example, the screen control unit 14 displays data desired by the user on the display unit 11 or erases the data displayed on the display unit 11.
The data desired by the user is, for example, data stored in the storage unit 12 described later or data input to the display unit 11. In particular, in the present embodiment, the screen control unit 14 changes (erases) the display of the display unit 11 when the prediction unit 13 predicts the loss of the display rewriting function.
 図2は、本発明に係る一実施形態における表示システムの一例を示す図である。
 図2に示す通り、表示システムは、表示装置10と、データ管理装置20とを含んで構成される。データ管理装置20は、1台または複数台の表示装置10、とネットワーク(NW)を介して接続されている。
 表示装置10は、表示部11と、記憶部12と、予測部13と、画面制御部14と、表示データ退避部15と、表示データ取得部16と、通信部17と、検出センサ18と、表示書換指示部19と、を備える。
 表示部11と、予測部13と、画面制御部14については、図1を用いて説明したとおりである。
 記憶部12は、表示部11に表示するデータを記憶する。
 表示データ退避部15は、記憶部12が記憶するデータをデータ管理装置20に送信することで、そのデータを退避させる(当該データのバックアップを行う)。
 表示データ取得部16は、データ管理装置20から表示部11に表示するデータを取得し、記憶部12に書き込んで記憶させる。
 通信部17は、データ管理装置20との通信を行う。
 検出センサ18は、表示書き換え機能の喪失を判定するための情報を検出するセンサである。
 表示書換指示部19は、画面制御部14に表示書き換え命令を行う。例えば、ユーザがあるデータの表示を指示する操作を表示装置10に行った場合、表示書換指示部19は、ユーザが指示したデータの表示を画面制御部14に指示する。
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a display system in an embodiment according to the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 2, the display system includes a display device 10 and a data management device 20. The data management device 20 is connected to one or a plurality of display devices 10 via a network (NW).
The display device 10 includes a display unit 11, a storage unit 12, a prediction unit 13, a screen control unit 14, a display data saving unit 15, a display data acquisition unit 16, a communication unit 17, a detection sensor 18, A display rewriting instruction unit 19.
The display unit 11, the prediction unit 13, and the screen control unit 14 are as described with reference to FIG.
The storage unit 12 stores data to be displayed on the display unit 11.
The display data saving unit 15 saves the data by transmitting the data stored in the storage unit 12 to the data management device 20 (backs up the data).
The display data acquisition unit 16 acquires data to be displayed on the display unit 11 from the data management device 20, and writes and stores the data in the storage unit 12.
The communication unit 17 communicates with the data management device 20.
The detection sensor 18 is a sensor that detects information for determining the loss of the display rewriting function.
The display rewriting instruction unit 19 issues a display rewriting command to the screen control unit 14. For example, when the user performs an operation to instruct display of certain data on the display device 10, the display rewriting instruction unit 19 instructs the screen control unit 14 to display data instructed by the user.
 データ管理装置20は、認証部21と、表示データ配信部22と、記憶部23と、通信部24と、を備える。
 認証部21は、表示装置10からの接続要求があった場合に、その表示装置10の認証を行う。
 表示データ配信部22は、表示装置10からデータの要求があった場合に、表示装置10へ配信するデータを選択する。また、表示データ配信部22は、表示装置10からデータの退避要求があった場合に、表示装置10から退避データを取得する。
 記憶部23は、表示装置10へ配信するデータを記憶する。また、表示データ配信部22が取得した退避データを記憶する。
 通信部24は、表示装置10との通信を行う。
The data management device 20 includes an authentication unit 21, a display data distribution unit 22, a storage unit 23, and a communication unit 24.
The authentication unit 21 authenticates the display device 10 when there is a connection request from the display device 10.
The display data distribution unit 22 selects data to be distributed to the display device 10 when there is a data request from the display device 10. Further, the display data distribution unit 22 acquires saved data from the display device 10 when there is a data save request from the display device 10.
The storage unit 23 stores data to be distributed to the display device 10. Further, the save data acquired by the display data distribution unit 22 is stored.
The communication unit 24 communicates with the display device 10.
 本実施形態の表示システムにおいて、データ管理装置20は、表示装置10で表示するデータ(コンテンツなど)を、表示装置10ごとに管理している。
 表示装置10は、ユーザの操作に応じて、データ管理装置20からデータを取得し、表示部11にそのデータを表示する。また、表示装置10は、表示部11に表示したデータに対してユーザからの変更があった場合などに、その変更後のデータをデータ管理装置20に送信して、バックアップを取る。
In the display system of the present embodiment, the data management device 20 manages data (contents and the like) displayed on the display device 10 for each display device 10.
The display device 10 acquires data from the data management device 20 in accordance with a user operation and displays the data on the display unit 11. Further, when the data displayed on the display unit 11 is changed by the user, the display device 10 transmits the changed data to the data management device 20 to take a backup.
 ところで、表示装置10に表示するデータには、秘密情報も含まれる。表示部11は、給電を停止しても表示データが残る性質を有しているので、ユーザが意図してデータを消去しなければ、表示部11には秘密情報が表示されたままの状態となり、情報が流出するリスクがある。また、ユーザが表示部11の表示を消すことに成功したとしても、記憶部12には、秘密情報が記憶されている。その為、表示装置10ごと盗難された場合などに、記憶部12が記憶する秘密情報を盗み取られる可能性があるため、ユーザは、記憶部12が記憶する秘密情報を消去しなければならない。
 このような情報流出リスクに対し、例えば、データの表示後一定期間が経過すると、表示部11に表示されたデータを消去し、記憶部12が記憶するデータを削除する制御を行うことなどが考えられる。しかしながら、そのような制御だけでは、例えば、表示装置10を落としてしまい故障させてしまった場合などに、その制御を実行する回路が破損され、表示部11に秘密情報の表示が残ったままになったり、記憶部12に秘密情報が残ったままになったりする可能性がある。
By the way, the data displayed on the display device 10 includes secret information. Since the display unit 11 has a property that display data remains even when power supply is stopped, unless the user intentionally deletes the data, the display unit 11 remains in a state where confidential information is displayed. There is a risk that information will be leaked. Even if the user succeeds in erasing the display on the display unit 11, secret information is stored in the storage unit 12. Therefore, since the secret information stored in the storage unit 12 may be stolen when the entire display device 10 is stolen, the user must erase the secret information stored in the storage unit 12.
For such information leakage risk, for example, when a certain period of time elapses after data is displayed, it is considered to perform control to delete the data displayed on the display unit 11 and delete the data stored in the storage unit 12. It is done. However, with such control alone, for example, when the display device 10 is dropped and broken down, the circuit that executes the control is damaged, and the display of the secret information remains on the display unit 11. Or the secret information may remain in the storage unit 12.
 そこで、本実施形態では、表示部11の表示書き換え機能の喪失や記憶部12からデータを削除する機能が喪失される状況となることを予測し、表示部11の表示を消去または変更したり、記憶部12のデータを削除したりして、情報の流出を防止する。 Therefore, in this embodiment, it is predicted that the display rewriting function of the display unit 11 is lost or the function of deleting data from the storage unit 12 is lost, and the display on the display unit 11 is deleted or changed, The data in the storage unit 12 is deleted to prevent the information from being leaked.
 図3は、本発明に係る一実施形態における表示装置の概略図である。
 表示装置10は、歪センサ18A~18D、及び、加速度センサ18Eを備えている。また、表示装置10は、表示部11にデータを表示する制御回路の通電チェックを行う、図示しない通電センサを1つまたは複数備えている。
 具体的には、図3で示されるように、歪センサ18Aは表示部11の上縁部に沿うように配置され、歪センサ18Bは表示部11の右縁部に沿うように配置され、歪センサ18Cは表示部11の下縁部に沿うように配置され、歪センサ18Dは表示部11の左縁部に沿うように配置されている。
 予測部13は、歪センサ18A~18Dで検出された表示装置10の歪量が所定の閾値を超えた場合、表示書き換え機能の喪失につながる曲げなどの筐体の変形が生じると予測する。
 加速度センサ18Eは、表示装置10の任意の位置に配置され、表示装置10の移動に係る加速度を検出する。予測部13は、加速度センサ18Eで検出された加速度が所定の閾値を超えた場合、表示書き換え機能の喪失につながる衝撃が生じると予測する。
 図示しない通電センサは、例えば、上記制御回路に電流が流れている状態で当該回路の電圧を検出する。予測部13は、通電センサの検出した電圧が所定の範囲外となった場合に、表示書き換え機能の喪失につながる回路の動作不良が生じると予測する。
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The display device 10 includes strain sensors 18A to 18D and an acceleration sensor 18E. In addition, the display device 10 includes one or a plurality of energization sensors (not shown) that perform energization check of a control circuit that displays data on the display unit 11.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the strain sensor 18 </ b> A is disposed along the upper edge of the display unit 11, and the strain sensor 18 </ b> B is disposed along the right edge of the display unit 11. The sensor 18 </ b> C is disposed along the lower edge of the display unit 11, and the strain sensor 18 </ b> D is disposed along the left edge of the display unit 11.
The prediction unit 13 predicts that deformation of the housing such as bending that leads to loss of the display rewriting function will occur when the amount of distortion of the display device 10 detected by the strain sensors 18A to 18D exceeds a predetermined threshold.
The acceleration sensor 18 </ b> E is disposed at an arbitrary position of the display device 10 and detects an acceleration related to the movement of the display device 10. When the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 18E exceeds a predetermined threshold, the prediction unit 13 predicts that an impact leading to the loss of the display rewriting function will occur.
For example, an energization sensor (not shown) detects the voltage of the circuit in a state where a current flows through the control circuit. The predicting unit 13 predicts that when the voltage detected by the energization sensor is out of a predetermined range, a malfunction of the circuit leading to the loss of the display rewriting function will occur.
 図4は、本発明に係る一実施形態における表示消去処理フローの一例を示す図である。
 図4を用いて、予測部13が表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測し、画面制御部14が表示部11の表示を消去または変更する処理について説明する。
 まず、表示装置10は、データ管理装置20から表示データをダウンロードする(ステップS11)。具体的には、ユーザの操作により、表示データ取得部16は、ユーザが指定する、表示部11に表示するための表示データを、データ管理装置20へ要求する。通信部17は、要求する表示データの識別情報、IDとパスワード等の認証情報をデータ管理装置20へ送信する。
 データ管理装置20では、通信部24が表示データの識別情報と認証情報を受信し、表示データの識別情報と認証情報とを認証部21へ出力する。認証部21は、表示装置10から受信した認証情報について、そのユーザがその表示データをダウンロードできるかどうかについて認証を行う。
 認証が失敗した場合、通信部24は、認証失敗を表示装置10へ通知する。認証が成功した場合、認証部21は、表示データの識別情報を、表示データ配信部22へ出力する。表示データ配信部22は、記憶部23から識別情報が示す表示データを読み出して、通信部24を介して表示装置10に送信する。
 表示装置10では、表示データ取得部16が、通信部17を介して取得した表示データを、記憶部12に書き込む。
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display erasure processing flow in one embodiment according to the present invention.
A process in which the prediction unit 13 predicts the loss of the display rewriting function and the screen control unit 14 erases or changes the display on the display unit 11 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the display device 10 downloads display data from the data management device 20 (step S11). Specifically, the display data acquisition unit 16 requests the data management device 20 for display data to be displayed on the display unit 11 specified by the user by an operation of the user. The communication unit 17 transmits the identification information of the requested display data, and authentication information such as an ID and a password to the data management device 20.
In the data management device 20, the communication unit 24 receives the display data identification information and authentication information, and outputs the display data identification information and authentication information to the authentication unit 21. The authentication unit 21 authenticates the authentication information received from the display device 10 as to whether or not the user can download the display data.
When the authentication fails, the communication unit 24 notifies the display device 10 of the authentication failure. When the authentication is successful, the authentication unit 21 outputs the display data identification information to the display data distribution unit 22. The display data distribution unit 22 reads the display data indicated by the identification information from the storage unit 23 and transmits it to the display device 10 via the communication unit 24.
In the display device 10, the display data acquisition unit 16 writes the display data acquired via the communication unit 17 in the storage unit 12.
 次に、表示書換指示部19は、ユーザが指定した表示データの表示を画面制御部14に指示する。画面制御部14は、記憶部12からユーザが指定した表示データを読み出し、表示部11に表示する(ステップS12)。
 画面制御部14が表示データを表示部11に表示すると、その後も、表示書換指示部19は、ユーザの操作に基づいて、ページ送りなど表示の書き換えを画面制御部14に指示する。画面制御部14は、表示書換指示部19の指示を受けて、表示の書き換えを行う。また、画面制御部14は、ユーザが表示部11に入力した入力データを、表示データと紐付けて記憶部12へ書き込むことも行う。
Next, the display rewriting instruction unit 19 instructs the screen control unit 14 to display the display data designated by the user. The screen control unit 14 reads the display data designated by the user from the storage unit 12 and displays it on the display unit 11 (step S12).
When the screen control unit 14 displays the display data on the display unit 11, the display rewriting instruction unit 19 thereafter instructs the screen control unit 14 to rewrite the display such as page turning based on the user's operation. The screen control unit 14 rewrites the display in response to an instruction from the display rewriting instruction unit 19. The screen control unit 14 also writes the input data input to the display unit 11 by the user in the storage unit 12 in association with the display data.
 画面制御部14が表示部11の表示データを書き換えるなどの制御を行っている間、予測部13は、検出センサ18から表示装置10の歪量、表示装置10の加速度、表示制御回路の通電チェックにおける電圧値などを取得し、表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測する(ステップS13)。
 例えば、予測部13は、歪センサ18A~18Dから取得した歪量が所定の閾値を超えた場合に、それ以上表示装置10が変形すると、表示部11の表示を消去したり、表示内容を書き換えたりする機能を提供する回路が故障すると予測する。
 このとき、例えば、表示書き換え機能を提供する回路が配置された位置と、歪センサ18A~18Dによって検出された歪の位置とを比較して、歪を検出した位置が当該回路の近傍であり、かつ、その歪量が所定の閾値を超えた場合に、表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測してもよい。
 あるいは、表示書き換え機能を提供する回路が配置された位置の近傍において、ある方向の歪が発生し(例えば、ひねりが加わった場合)、かつ、その歪量が所定の閾値を超えた場合に表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測してもよい。
While the screen control unit 14 performs control such as rewriting the display data of the display unit 11, the prediction unit 13 checks the distortion amount of the display device 10, the acceleration of the display device 10, and the energization check of the display control circuit from the detection sensor 18. A voltage value or the like is acquired, and the loss of the display rewriting function is predicted (step S13).
For example, the prediction unit 13 erases the display on the display unit 11 or rewrites the display content when the display device 10 is further deformed when the strain amount acquired from the strain sensors 18A to 18D exceeds a predetermined threshold. The circuit that provides the function is expected to fail.
At this time, for example, the position where the circuit providing the display rewriting function is arranged and the position of the distortion detected by the distortion sensors 18A to 18D are compared, and the position where the distortion is detected is in the vicinity of the circuit. In addition, when the amount of distortion exceeds a predetermined threshold, loss of the display rewriting function may be predicted.
Or, when a distortion in a certain direction occurs near the position where the circuit that provides the display rewriting function is arranged (for example, when a twist is added) and the amount of distortion exceeds a predetermined threshold, it is displayed. Loss of the rewriting function may be predicted.
 また、例えば、予測部13は、加速度センサ18Eから取得した加速度またはその加速度に基づいて計算した速度が所定の閾値を超えた場合に、表示装置10に衝撃が加わり、表示部11の表示を消去したり、表示内容を書き換えたりする機能を提供する回路が故障すると予測する。
 例えば、表示装置10が落下して地面と衝突した場合に表示書き換え機能を提供する回路が故障するときの落下速度の閾値を記憶部12が記憶しており、予測部13は、加速度センサ18Eから取得した所定時間における加速度から表示装置10が落下していると判定し、更にそのときの落下速度が上記閾値を超えると、表示書き換え機能が喪失すると予測してもよい。
 また、例えば、予測部13は、表示装置10が備える所定の回路(例えば、上述の制御回路)について通電センサから取得した電圧値などが所定の範囲内にない場合に、表示部11の表示を消去したり、表示内容を書き換えたりする機能を提供する回路が故障すると予測する。
 また、予測部13は、表示書換指示部19が表示の書き換えを指示した場合に、画面制御部14が実際に表示書き換え処理を実行する実績に基づいて、表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測する。
 具体的には、例えば、予測部13は、表示書換指示部19が画面制御部14に表示書き換え指示を行ってから、画面制御部14が表示書き換えを行うまでの時間を監視する。そして、表示書換指示部19が画面制御部14に表示書き換え指示を行ってから、画面制御部14が表示書き換えを行うまでの時間が所定の閾値以上の場合、予測部13は、表示内容を書き換える機能が喪失すると予測する。
 あるいは、表示書換指示部19が画面制御部14に表示書き換え指示を行って、実際に画面制御部14が表示書き換え処理を行った割合(10回指示したが実際には5回しか表示書き換え処理を実行しないなど)が、所定の値に達しない場合、予測部13は、表示内容を書き換える機能が喪失すると予測する。
 あるいは、表示書換指示部19が画面制御部14に表示書き換え指示を行ったにもかかわらず、画面制御部14が表示の書き換えを行わない場合、予測部13は、表示内容を書き換える機能が喪失すると予測する。
 また、例えば、表示書換指示部19が画面制御部14に表示書き換え指示を行っているにもかかわらず、画面制御部14からエラーが返され、画面制御部14がその指示を受け取らないような場合、例えば、エラーが返される回数が所定の閾値以上になると、予測部13は、表示内容を書き換える機能が喪失すると予測する。あるいは、一時間以上、画面制御部14が表示書き換え指示を受け取らないような場合、予測部13は、表示内容を書き換える機能が喪失すると予測する。
For example, when the acceleration acquired from the acceleration sensor 18E or the speed calculated based on the acceleration exceeds a predetermined threshold, the prediction unit 13 applies an impact to the display device 10 and erases the display on the display unit 11. Or a circuit that provides a function of rewriting display contents is predicted to fail.
For example, when the display device 10 falls and collides with the ground, the storage unit 12 stores the threshold of the falling speed when the circuit that provides the display rewriting function fails, and the prediction unit 13 receives the acceleration sensor 18E from the acceleration sensor 18E. It may be determined that the display device 10 is falling from the acquired acceleration for a predetermined time, and if the dropping speed at that time exceeds the threshold value, the display rewriting function is lost.
In addition, for example, the prediction unit 13 displays the display on the display unit 11 when the voltage value acquired from the energization sensor is not within a predetermined range for a predetermined circuit (for example, the above-described control circuit) included in the display device 10. A circuit that provides a function of erasing or rewriting display contents is predicted to fail.
Moreover, when the display rewriting instruction | indication part 19 instruct | indicates rewriting of a display, the prediction part 13 estimates the loss of a display rewriting function based on the performance which the screen control part 14 actually performs a display rewriting process.
Specifically, for example, the prediction unit 13 monitors the time from when the display rewriting instruction unit 19 gives a display rewriting instruction to the screen control unit 14 until the screen control unit 14 rewrites the display. When the time from when the display rewriting instruction unit 19 instructs the screen control unit 14 to rewrite the display until the screen control unit 14 rewrites the display is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the prediction unit 13 rewrites the display content. Expect to lose function.
Alternatively, the display rewriting instruction unit 19 instructs the screen control unit 14 to rewrite the display, and the ratio that the screen control unit 14 actually performs the display rewriting process (instructed 10 times, but in practice the display rewriting process is performed only 5 times. When the predetermined value is not reached, the prediction unit 13 predicts that the function of rewriting the display content is lost.
Alternatively, if the display rewriting instruction unit 19 instructs the screen control unit 14 to rewrite the display, but the screen control unit 14 does not rewrite the display, the prediction unit 13 loses the function of rewriting the display contents. Predict.
Further, for example, when the display rewriting instruction unit 19 gives a display rewriting instruction to the screen control unit 14, an error is returned from the screen control unit 14 and the screen control unit 14 does not receive the instruction. For example, when the number of times an error is returned exceeds a predetermined threshold, the prediction unit 13 predicts that the function of rewriting the display content is lost. Alternatively, when the screen control unit 14 does not receive the display rewriting instruction for one hour or longer, the prediction unit 13 predicts that the function of rewriting the display content is lost.
 予測部13が表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測しない場合(ステップS13;No)、ステップS12からの処理を繰り返す。
 予測部13が表示書き換え機能の喪失を予測した場合(ステップS13;Yes)、予測部13は、表示の停止を指示する信号を画面制御部14へ出力する。
 これにより、画面制御部14は、表示部11の表示を消去する(ステップS14)。または、画面制御部14は、表示部11に表示したデータを、秘密性がない他のデータに書き換える。
When the prediction unit 13 does not predict the loss of the display rewriting function (step S13; No), the processing from step S12 is repeated.
When the prediction unit 13 predicts the loss of the display rewriting function (step S13; Yes), the prediction unit 13 outputs a signal instructing to stop the display to the screen control unit 14.
Thereby, the screen control unit 14 erases the display on the display unit 11 (step S14). Alternatively, the screen control unit 14 rewrites the data displayed on the display unit 11 with other data having no confidentiality.
 次に、表示データ退避部15は、ステップS14で消去、もしくは書き換えられる前の表示データについて、ユーザが追加や変更を行った表示データと対応付けて記録されたデータ(更新データ)を記憶部12から読みだして、通信部17を介してデータ管理装置20へアップロードする(ステップS15)。
 具体的には、表示データ退避部15は、更新データのバックアップをデータ管理装置20へ要求する。通信部17は、更新データが存在する表示データの識別情報、更新データ、IDとパスワード等の認証情報をデータ管理装置20へ送信する。
 データ管理装置20では、通信部24が表示データの識別情報、更新データ、認証情報を受信し、表示データの識別情報と認証情報とを認証部21へ出力する。認証部21は、表示装置10から受信した認証情報について認証を行う。認証が失敗した場合、通信部24は、認証失敗を表示装置10へ通知する。認証が成功した場合、認証部21は、表示データの識別情報、更新データ、認証情報を表示データ配信部22へ出力する。表示データ配信部22は、更新データを、表示データの識別情報及び認証情報及び現在時刻と対応付けて、記憶部23へ書き込む。
Next, the display data saving unit 15 stores the data (update data) recorded in association with the display data added or changed by the user with respect to the display data before being erased or rewritten in step S14. Is uploaded to the data management device 20 via the communication unit 17 (step S15).
Specifically, the display data saving unit 15 requests the data management apparatus 20 to back up the update data. The communication unit 17 transmits identification information of display data in which update data exists, update data, and authentication information such as an ID and a password to the data management apparatus 20.
In the data management device 20, the communication unit 24 receives display data identification information, update data, and authentication information, and outputs the display data identification information and authentication information to the authentication unit 21. The authentication unit 21 authenticates the authentication information received from the display device 10. When the authentication fails, the communication unit 24 notifies the display device 10 of the authentication failure.

Secret information to be deleted.
As a result, when the display device 10 breaks down or is destroyed before the display is erased in a display device having an information leakage prevention function that can erase secret information when the power is turned off or when browsing confidential information is terminated. It is possible to prevent the risk that the display remains on the screen. Moreover, since the secret information of the memory | storage part 12 is deleted in that case, it can prevent taking out secret information from the display apparatus 10 which the third party failed.
 なお、上記の処理フローでは、表示部11に表示されている表示データ(コンテンツ)について、表示を消去したり記憶部12のデータを削除したりする場合を例に説明を行ったが、表示部11に表示されたている表示データが秘密情報である場合のみ、表示の消去・書き換え及び記憶部12からのデータ削除を行うようにしてもよい。
 この場合、記憶部12には、表示データの識別情報と、秘密情報かどうかを区分する区分フラグと、表示データと、が対応付けられて書き込まれており、予測部13は、区分フラグの値が表示データが秘密情報であることを示す場合のみ、ステップS13以降の処理を行うようにしてもよい。
In the above processing flow, the case where the display data (content) displayed on the display unit 11 is deleted or the data in the storage unit 12 is deleted has been described as an example. Only when the display data displayed in 11 is confidential information, display erasure / rewriting and data deletion from the storage unit 12 may be performed.
In this case, the storage unit 12 stores the identification information of the display data, the classification flag that classifies whether the information is secret information, and the display data in association with each other, and the prediction unit 13 sets the value of the classification flag. Only when the display data indicates that it is secret information, the processing after step S13 may be performed.
 また、現在表示部11に表示されている表示データは秘密情報ではないが、記憶部12は、他の表示データも記憶しており、その中に秘密情報が含まれている場合、秘密情報だけを記憶部12から削除するようにしてもよい。その場合、予測部13は、記憶部12が記憶するすべてのコンテンツに対して区分フラグの値をチェックし、秘密情報が含まれている場合のみ、ステップS13以降の処理を行うようにしてもよい。
 このようにすれば、例えば、秘密情報を入手したい者が、表示装置10を盗難し、記憶部12以外を破壊して記憶部12を取出して秘密情報を入手しようと試みた場合などの情報流出のリスクを軽減することができる。
In addition, the display data currently displayed on the display unit 11 is not secret information, but the storage unit 12 also stores other display data. If the secret information is included in the display data, only the secret information is stored. May be deleted from the storage unit 12. In that case, the prediction unit 13 may check the value of the division flag for all the contents stored in the storage unit 12, and may perform the processing after step S13 only when secret information is included. .
In this way, for example, when a person who wants to obtain confidential information steals the display device 10 and tries to obtain confidential information by taking out the storage unit 12 by destroying other than the storage unit 12. Can reduce the risk.
