An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. When possible, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals and duplicate description is omitted.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an information processing system of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system includes an information processing device 100 and a server 200. The information processing device 100 enables communication with the server 200. The server 200 manages the program (software function) of the information processing device 100, and manages the update of the program under the management of the service provider who provides the service using the information processing device 100. In the present embodiment, the update management of the entire program may be performed, or the update management of one or a plurality of functions in the program may be performed.

The information processing device 100 includes a communication unit 101, a microphone 102, a speaker 103 (confirmation unit), a program storage unit 104 (storage unit), a camera 105, and a control unit 106 (update unit, additional unit). .. The information processing device 100 is a device in the shape of a stuffed animal, and is a device that interacts with a user using a microphone 102 and a speaker 103. The information processing apparatus 100 is not limited to this, and the information processing apparatus 100 that performs processing according to a program is not limited in any shape and function. Hereinafter, each configuration will be described.

The communication unit 101 is a portion that wirelessly communicates with the server 200 via a network line. The communication unit 101 receives the update program transmitted from the server 200.

The microphone 102 is a portion that receives the content uttered by the user. The control unit 106 performs voice recognition based on the received voice and determines an instruction from the user.

The speaker 103 is a portion that emits voice to the user under the control of the control unit 106.

The program storage unit 104 is a unit that stores a program having one or more functions (software functions). This program has one or more functions. The information processing apparatus 100 operates according to this program to provide a service based on the above functions to the user. This program is transmitted (downloaded) from the server 200 as needed, and is temporarily stored in the program storage unit 104. After that, based on the user's confirmation, it is updated and the function is activated, and it is updated to an operable state.

The camera 105 is a part for photographing a user and reading various information such as a two-dimensional bar code. The control unit 106 makes various determinations based on the image data read by the camera 105.

The control unit 106 is a unit that controls the communication units 101 to 105 in an integrated manner. In the present embodiment, as described above, the control unit 106 controls the communication unit 101 to receive the program transmitted from the server 200, and stores the received program in the program storage unit 104. After that, the microphone 102 and the speaker 103 are used to have a dialogue with the user, and the program update process, that is, the update process is performed according to the dialogue. The update process brings the received program into an operable state in the information processing apparatus 100.

Prior to performing the update process, the control unit 106 controls the speaker 103 and the microphone 102 to notify the user that the program is to be updated. Then, it is determined whether or not the update is confirmed based on the program to be updated or the usage history of each function included in the program.

The usage history of the program (or each function) to be updated is stored in the server 200, and the server 200 determines whether or not the user is confirmed to update based on the usage history. Then, when the program (or each function) is updated, the server 200 transmits information indicating the presence or absence of confirmation to the information processing device 100. The information processing device 100 notifies the user of the fact of updating the program and the necessity of updating the program based on the information on whether or not the confirmation is made.

Next, the server 200 will be described. The server 200 includes a communication unit 201 (transmission unit), a usage history storage unit 202, and a control unit 203 (determination unit). The communication unit 201 is a part that transmits a program to be updated to the information processing device 100 and receives an identifier of the function of the program used from the information processing device 100 as a usage history.

The usage history storage unit 202 is a portion that stores the identifier of the function of the program transmitted from the information processing device 100 as a usage history together with the date and time of its use. FIG. 2 is a specific example thereof. The usage history storage unit 202 stores the usage date and time and the usage function used in association with each other as usage history information. The function used indicates one of the plurality of functions of the program. Here, it is called a function identifier, which makes it possible to identify the function.

The control unit 203 is a unit that collectively controls the communication unit 201 and the usage history storage unit 202.

Next, detailed operations of the information processing device 100 and the server 200 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information processing device 100 that transmits the usage history.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the information processing apparatus 100, the control unit 106 executes one function of the program designated by the user (S101). The communication unit 101 transmits a function identifier indicating one of the executed functions of the program to the server 200 together with the date and time of the execution (S102).

In the server 200, the communication unit 201 receives the function identifier and the date and time used in the program, and the control unit 203 stores the received function identifier and the date and time in the usage history storage unit 202 (S103).

In this way, the server 200 can store the usage history of each function in the program executed by the information processing apparatus 100.

Next, the update process of the information processing device 100 and the server 200 when updating the program of the information processing device 100 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing in the information processing apparatus 100 and the server 200.

In the server 200, according to the operation by the service provision, the control unit 203 identifies the function to be updated among the programs to be updated based on the usage history information stored in the usage history storage unit 202 (S201).

Then, the control unit 203 calculates the usage frequency of the function to be updated with reference to the usage history information (S202). For example, the control unit 203 calculates the frequency of use of the function to be updated in the past month based on the time of update, and the frequency of use of the function to be updated in the past month based on one month ago. do. The frequency of use for each month is calculated, but the frequency is not limited to this. Further, although the frequency of use in the two periods is calculated, the frequency of use in a larger period may be calculated to calculate the tendency of the frequency of use.

The control unit 203 determines whether or not the user needs to confirm the update according to the frequency of use of the function to be updated (S203). Then, the control unit 203 generates instruction information indicating the necessity / non-necessity of confirmation for the user, and the communication unit 201 processes the update program of the function to be updated and the instruction information indicating the necessity of confirmation. It is transmitted to the device 100 (S204).

In the information processing device 100, the communication unit 101 receives the update program and the instruction information (S205). The control unit 106 determines whether or not to let the user confirm the update based on the instruction information (S206). When it is determined that confirmation is necessary, the control unit 106 confirms to the user that the function to be updated is updated based on the instruction information (S207). For example, the control unit 106 causes the speaker 103 to output a description of the function to be updated and the fact that the function is updated by voice.

The control unit 106 determines whether or not to accept an operation to the effect that the update may be performed from the user (S208). For example, the control unit 106 determines whether or not the function needs to be updated by recognizing and receiving a response to the voice from the user via the microphone 102.

The control unit 106 performs an update process of the program including the function to be updated by using the received update program that can be confirmed by the user that the update is possible (S209). Further, even when the control unit 106 determines in S206 that the instruction information does not need to be confirmed, the control unit 106 uses the update program to update the program including the function to be updated (S209).

After updating the program, the control unit 106 notifies the user that the function to be updated has been updated or has not been updated (S210). For example, the control unit 106 causes the speaker 103 to output a voice indicating that the function to be updated has been updated, or to output a voice indicating that the function has not been updated.

In the information processing device 100, according to the control of the control unit 106, the communication unit 101 transmits information indicating that the program to be updated has been updated or has not been updated (S211).

The server 200 receives the update status information indicating that the program to be updated has been updated or has not been updated, and stores the update status information (S212).

In steps S201 to S204, when a new function is added to the program instead of updating the existing function in the program of the information processing apparatus 100, the control unit 203 prepares an update program for adding the new function. And sends it to the information processing device 100. At that time, the control unit 203 generates instruction information indicating that the user is confirmed to add a new function, and transmits the instruction information together with the update program.

Further, in steps S207 and S208, as a specific method of the update instruction from the user, the voice instruction is shown above, but the following method can be considered.

The information processing device 100 introduces the new function by voice, asks the user whether to update, and updates the update when the user gives a voice instruction for the update.

The paper distributed in advance by the service provider describes the functions that can be updated and how to update. When the user does it, the update will occur. For example, say "Add new feature A".

In addition, the updatable function and the two-dimensional bar code are described on the paper distributed in advance by the service provider, and when the user moves it to the camera 105 of the robot, the update is performed.

In addition, an updateable function is written on the RF tag distributed in advance by the service provider, and when the user holds it over the robot reader (not shown), the update is performed.

In this way, the server 200 determines whether or not to request confirmation from the user when updating each function based on the user's usage history information. Then, the information processing device 100 performs confirmation processing for the user based on the instruction information indicating whether or not to request the confirmation determined by the server 200. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the update of the function based on the usage history of the user, and it is possible to prevent the user from being confused when updating the function.

Next, the process for re-explaining the content of the updated function to the user according to the tendency of the usage history will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing of the information processing apparatus 100 and the server 200 at that time.

In the server 200, the control unit 203 determines the tendency of the usage history of each function based on the usage history information stored in the usage history storage unit 202 (S301). For example, the control unit 203 calculates the usage frequency of the updated function for each predetermined period in the past, and determines whether or not the usage frequency has decreased. In addition, the frequency of use of each function for each predetermined period in the past may be calculated to determine the function whose frequency of use has decreased. The timing of this determination process may be a preset date and time, or may be the timing when the usage history is received from the information processing device 100.

When the control unit 203 determines that the frequency of use is decreasing, the control unit 203 transmits the updated content of the function determined to be decreasing in frequency of use to the information processing apparatus 100 (S303). In addition, regardless of whether or not the function has been updated, the description of the function that has been used less frequently may be described again.

In the information processing device 100, the communication unit 101 receives the updated content (or an explanation of the function whose usage frequency has decreased), and the speaker 103 outputs the sound under the control of the control unit 106 (S304).

In this way, it is judged that the user's understanding of the functions that have been used less frequently, especially the functions that have been used less frequently after the update, may not be caught up and may be confused. Therefore, in the information processing apparatus 100, it is possible to prevent the user from being confused by re-explaining the updated contents or the functions.

Next, the usage state of the user and the processing at that time will be conceptually described. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the frequency of use of each function according to the situation. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing the frequency of use during the most recent predetermined period when each function is updated. As shown in the figure, function A indicates that it has been used for 30 days out of 30 days. Function B indicates that it was used for 10 days out of 30 days. Function C indicates that it has not been used. Function D indicates that it is not installed.

In such a situation, the user has used the function A and the function B. Therefore, when the function A and the function B are the update targets, the user may be confused. In that case, it is preferable to confirm with the user whether or not the update is necessary at the time of updating.

On the other hand, when the function C is the update target, the user is not confirmed whether or not the update is necessary because the function C is unused. Since the user does not use the function C, it is considered that the user will not be confused when using the update even if the update involves a change in the operation method or the like.

FIG. 6B is a diagram showing the frequency of use for one month after renewal and the frequency of use for the most recent predetermined period from the time of renewal in each function.

Function A has been reduced to 10 days out of 30 days after renewal. Therefore, in such a case, it can be determined that the user may be confused about the update of the function A and may not fully understand the operation of the updated function A. In such a case, the server 200 explains the update content or the operation of the function A to the user via the information processing device 100.

On the other hand, since the frequency of use of the function B does not change, no notification is given even if the function B is updated.

Next, the operation and effect of the information processing system including the information processing device 100 and the server 200 of the present embodiment will be described. The information processing device 100 of the present embodiment includes a program storage unit 104 that stores a program (one or a plurality of functions of the program) used by the user, and a control unit 106 that functions as an update unit that updates the contents of software functions. , A microphone 102 constituting a confirmation unit for confirming to the user that the function is to be updated based on the usage history of the function which is one or more functions of the program prior to the update of the function by the control unit 106. And a speaker 103.

Specifically, in the information processing apparatus 100, for the function that the user has used as the usage history, the user is confirmed to the effect of the update.

On the other hand, in the information processing apparatus 100, for a function that the user has never used as a usage history, the user is not confirmed to the effect of the update.

According to the information processing apparatus 100, the user is made to confirm that the function is updated based on the usage history of each function of the user's program. Therefore, the user can know in advance that the function has been updated, and can prevent confusion when using the function. For example, if the user has used a function to be updated, the user may be confused about using the function depending on the content of the update.

On the other hand, depending on the usage history, it may not be necessary to confirm. For example, if the user has never used the feature to be updated, or if the feature is used very infrequently, the user will not be confused even if the feature is updated and the content is changed. .. In such a case, it is not necessary to ask for confirmation, and the burden on the user can be reduced.

In the above-described embodiment, it has been explained that it is not necessary to confirm the update when the function to be updated has never been used, but when the frequency of use is extremely low (the frequency of use is a predetermined value). If it was used more than the specified number of days before), the confirmation may not be necessary.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 notifies the user of information about the updated function when the frequency of use in the predetermined period after the update is lower than the frequency of use in the predetermined period before the update in the updated function.

If the frequency of use decreases after updating the function, it is considered that the user does not understand the updated content and is confused. In such a case, it is possible to help the user's understanding by notifying the user of the information about the updated function such as the updated content again.

Further, in the information processing apparatus 100, the control unit 106 has a function of an additional unit that adds a new function, and the control unit 106 adds the new function when a new function is added to the program. Ask the user to confirm. As a result, it is possible to add a new function after confirming the user's understanding, and it is possible to prevent the user from being confused.

Further, the server 200 includes a control unit 203 that determines whether or not to make the user confirm that the software function is to be updated based on the usage history of the software function in the information processing device 100 that holds the software function. The information processing apparatus 100 is provided with a communication unit 201 that transmits update information, which is an update program for updating software functions, and instruction information indicating the necessity of confirmation. Then, the server 200 causes the information processing apparatus 100 to confirm to the user that the software function is to be updated prior to the update of the software function based on the update program and the instruction information.

In the present embodiment, the function to be updated may be a part of the function in the program having a plurality of functions, or may be the entire program.

In the above description, the server 200 stores the frequency of use of each function for each user and determines whether or not confirmation is necessary when updating the function. The information processing apparatus 100 performs such storage processing and determination processing. You may prepare. In that case, in the information processing device 100, as an information processing system, the usage history storage unit stores the usage history information, and the control unit 106 determines the necessity of user confirmation based on the usage history.

As described above, the usage history storage unit for storing the usage history may be provided by either the information processing device 100 or the server 200, or the other server may include the usage history storage unit and the information processing device 100 or the information processing device 100 or the server 200 may be provided. The server 200 may collect usage history information from the other server when determining the necessity of user confirmation.
