Description

  The present invention relates to an input support program, an input support method, and an information processing apparatus for selecting an input value from displayed input candidate values by a user operation.

  With the increase in information terminals and services using these information terminals in recent years, many people always carry portable terminals that record personal information and use those services in various situations. It was. In current commercial terminals, an authentication method such as a PIN code, a password, and a pattern lock is used for the access control.

  Mobile terminals equipped with video shooting functions are also becoming popular, and anyone can easily shoot videos anywhere. In addition, with the downsizing of photographic equipment and the emergence of wearable devices such as wristwatches and head-mounted displays, it is expected that a situation will occur in the future where a third party will shoot without knowing that it has been taken. .

  Therefore, when a general authentication method as described above is adopted, authentication information that only the user needs to know is specified by a third party by being photographed or peeped by a third party. There is a risk of being.

  Therefore, several techniques have been developed as countermeasure techniques for such problems.

  For example, the method described in Patent Document 1 displays a figure in association with a character on a numeric keypad. The user remembers the numerical value of each digit of the authentication information associated with the figure of each digit in advance. When inputting the numerical value of the digit to be input, the user shifts the figure associated with the digit to be input, and presses the confirmation key when the digit value and the figure of the digit overlap. Thus, the information processing apparatus recognizes the numerical value superimposed on the graphic associated with the digit to be input as the numerical value of the digit to be input. According to this method, there is a plurality of combinations of numerical values and figures even when peeped when the enter key is pressed, so that leakage of the encryption key due to peeping can be avoided.

  Further, according to the method described in Non-Patent Document 1, the number of cells corresponding to the number of input candidate values is provided. When the user selects one of the cells, the number corresponding to the selected cell is vibrated with a vibration pattern corresponding to the number, thereby notifying the user of the numerical value associated with the selected cell. To do. According to this method, no numerical value is displayed, and the numerical value is specified by the vibration pattern. Since a vibration pattern cannot be acquired in a peep, it is possible to avoid leakage of authentication information.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description of the drawings, the same or similar parts are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals.

(Embodiment)
With reference to FIG. 1, an information processing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information processing apparatus 1 selects an input value from the displayed input candidate values by a user operation. This input value is authentication information known by the user, and is a password for starting an application program, a password for enjoying a service, or the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, the form of authentication information is not limited, and any list of characters, symbols, numerical values, etc., or a list including a mixture of characters, symbols, numerical values, etc. may be used.

  The information processing apparatus 1 is a computer including a processing device 10, a storage device 20, a display device 30, a user output device 40, and an input device 50. When the input support program P is stored in the storage device 20 and the processing device 10 executes the input support program P, the computer functions as each unit shown in FIG.

  The display device 30 is a so-called display, and outputs information to the user under the control of the processing device 10. The input device 50 is a keyboard, a mouse, or the like, and inputs a user instruction to the processing device 10 by a user operation of the information processing device 1. The display device 30 and the input device 50 are so-called touch panels or the like, and may be mounted as a single device. In the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the display device 30 and the input device 50 are touch panels will be described.

  The user output device 40 may be any device that can output information to the user without being known by a third party under the control of the processing device 10. The user output device 40 is, for example, a device that enables information to be output to the user by means other than audiovisual, and a vibration sensor can be considered. The user output device 40 is a vibration sensor built in the information processing apparatus 1, and transmits information to a user who holds the information processing apparatus 1 by vibrating. Is not transmitted. The user output device 40 may be a vibration sensor that is connected and controlled from the information processing device 1 in a wired or wireless manner.

  The user output device 40 may be anything as long as it can output information to the user without being known by a third party. For example, the user output device 40 may be headphones and may be transmitted to the user by sound. Further, the user output device 40 may be a device such as a speaker that generates sound at a volume that is inaudible to a third party located in the vicinity and that cannot be recorded by the photographing equipment.

  With reference to FIG. 2, screen V displayed by information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The screen V includes an input digit specifying unit B, an input candidate value display unit C, and an operation input unit T. The input digit specifying unit B is provided with a plurality of squares corresponding to the number of digits of the authentication information input by the user, and when the authentication information is four digits, the input digit specifying unit B has the squares B1, B2, B3 and B4. Is provided. In FIG. 2, the digit B1 that has already been input displays “*”, and the digit B2 that the user inputs next is drawn with a bold line. The screen shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and the shape, arrangement, size, etc. of the cells are not limited to this.

  The input candidate value display unit C includes a plurality of cells C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8 and C9. The plurality of cells are arranged radially as shown in FIG. Each cell displays a number from 0 to 9 one by one. In addition, the cursor A is given to any one of the plurality of cells C0 to C9.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cursor A moves and is displayed while being associated with one of the cells. That is, the cursor A is given to the cell C0 on the screen V0, and the cursor A is given to the cell C5 on the screen V5. As a result, the cursor A is produced so as to rotate and display from the cell C0 to C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C0.

  The cursor A only needs to be moved and displayed while being associated with one of the cells, and is not limited to being displayed so as to rotate. For example, the cursor A may be displayed so as to move randomly.

  When the cursor A is displayed in a predetermined input cell while the cursor A is rotated and displayed on the cell, the user output device 40 of the information processing apparatus 1 outputs, for example, vibration. In the example shown in FIG. 3, when the input cell is the cell C8, while the cursor A is displayed while being rotated clockwise on the cell, when the cursor A reaches the cell C8 as shown in the screen V8, The user output device 40 outputs vibration. Thereby, the position of the input cell can be notified only to the user without being known by a third party.

  The operation input unit T displays display value change instruction buttons T1a and T1b, an enter button T2, and an erase button T3 as soft buttons for the user to operate.

  When the display value change instruction button T1a or T1b is selected, the information processing apparatus 1 changes the plurality of cells C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, and C9 according to the selected button. Change the association of and display. For example, when the display value change instruction button T1a to be changed clockwise is selected, the screen transitions from the screen V5 to the screen V51 in FIG. The screen V51 displays the numerical value displayed in the cell shifted clockwise by one cell compared to the screen V5. Similarly, when the display value change instruction button T1b to be changed counterclockwise is selected, the screen transitions from the screen V5 to the screen V52 in FIG. The screen V52 displays the numerical value displayed in the cell shifted by one cell counterclockwise compared to the screen V5.

  In addition, although the case where a numerical value is shifted and displayed is described here, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one display value change instruction button may be provided, and the display value may be changed randomly each time this button is selected.

  When the determination button T2 is selected, the information processing apparatus 1 determines the input candidate value displayed in the input cell among the input candidate values displayed by the input candidate value display unit C as the input value. The input cell is determined in advance by the input cell determination means 13 described later and notified to the user.

  The user selects the display value change instruction button T1a or T1b so that a numerical value to be input is displayed in the notified input cell. For example, a case where the input cell is C8 and the numerical value “1” is input on the screen V8 shown in FIG. 5 will be described. The user selects the display value change instruction button T1b for shifting the numerical value counterclockwise three times. As a result, the correspondence between the cells and the numerical values is shifted by three cells counterclockwise, and the screen transitions to the screen V81. On the screen V81, the numerical value “1” is displayed in the cell C8. At this timing, when the user selects the determination button T2, the information processing apparatus 1 recognizes the numerical value “1” as an input value.

  On the other hand, when the delete button T3 is selected, the most recently input value is deleted, and control is performed to enable input again.

  The cursor A may be controlled so that the user output device 40 vibrates at the timing when the cursor A continues to rotate and is positioned on the input cell regardless of whether or not the user has recognized the input cell. If the rotation of the cursor A is stopped at the timing when the user grasps the input cell, there is a possibility that a third party who has seen the sight of the user can estimate the position of the input cell and estimate the input value. Therefore, even after the user recognizes the input cell and starts the operation of the display value change instruction buttons T1a and T1b, the cursor A can be rotated and displayed to prevent leakage of the input value. Therefore, on the screen V81, since the cell C8 is an input cell, vibration occurs at the timing when the cursor A reaches the cell C8. On the other hand, since the cursor A is rotated and displayed until the timing when the user selects the determination button T2, the position of the cursor A ends at an arbitrary position. Therefore, even if the recording is recorded, the position of the cursor A does not give any useful information to a third party.

  Next, returning to FIG. 1, the storage device 20 and the processing device 10 of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The storage device 20 stores cursor position data 21, display value data 22, input cell data 23, and input value data 24. The cursor position data 21, the display value data 22, the input cell data 23, and the input value data 24 are data stored by each means of the processing device 10. These data may be stored in a temporary storage area such as a RAM.

  The processing apparatus 10 includes cursor display means 11, value display means 12, input cell determination means 13, input cell notification means 14, input value acquisition means 15, and output means 16.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cursor display unit 11 moves the cursor A while associating it with any of the cells, and displays the cursor A on the display device 30. The cursor display unit 11 preferably continues the process of moving and displaying the cursor A until an instruction to determine an input value is input by a user operation. The cursor display means 11 moves the cursor A at a moving speed at which the user can recognize in which cell the cursor A is displayed. The cursor display unit 11 stores the identifier of the cell in which the cursor A is displayed in the storage device 20 as the cursor position data 21.

  The value display unit 12 displays the input candidate value in association with the cell on the display device 30 and changes the association between the cell and the input candidate value by the user's operation. The value display unit 12 first displays the input candidate value in each cell of the input candidate value display unit C in FIG. Thereafter, when the user clicks the display value change instruction button T1a or T1b, the cell in which the input candidate value is displayed is changed in accordance with the button. For each cell, the value display means 12 generates a combination of the cell identifier and the input candidate value displayed in this cell, and stores it in the storage device 20 as display value data 22. The display value data 22 need not hold the input candidate values displayed in all the cells, but may hold at least the input candidate values displayed in the input cells.

  The input cell determination means 13 determines a cell that allows the user to set an input value from any of the displayed cells. The input cell determination means 13 may determine an input cell at random or may determine an input cell with a predetermined logic. The input cell determination unit 13 stores the determined identifier of the input cell in the storage device 20 as the input cell data 23.

  The input cell notification unit 14 causes the user output device 40 to output the input cell when the input cell is displayed in association with the cursor. Specifically, the input cell notification unit 14 reads the input cell data 23 and the cursor position data 21 from the storage device 20. When the identifier of the cell in which the cursor A of the cursor position data 21 is displayed matches the identifier of the input cell of the input cell data 23, the user is notified of the input cell by, for example, vibrating the vibration sensor. The user recognizes the cell on which the cursor A is displayed as the input cell at the timing when the user feels the vibration, and then the user operates to display the value of the authentication information in the input cell.

  Various methods can be conceived for the input cell notification means 14 to determine the timing to be output to the user output device 40. For example, when the moving speed at which the cursor A moves, the position and time of any timing of the cursor A are known, the input cell notification means 14 determines the timing at which the cursor A is displayed in the input cell from these pieces of information. Can be calculated. The input cell notification unit 14 controls the user output device 40 to output at the calculated timing.

  Here, the cursor A is moved at a moving speed at which the user can recognize in which cell the cursor A is displayed. The moving speed of the cursor A (cursor display time per cell) is, for example, 150 ms to 450 ms. When the moving speed of the cursor A is high (cursor display time per cell is 150 ms), it is difficult to determine whether the input cell vibrates or the next cell after the input cell, and the error rate increases. , Users tend to feel frustrated. Further, when the moving speed of the cursor A is low (the cursor display time per cell is 450 ms), the error rate is low, but the user tends to feel frustration. Therefore, it is more preferable that the moving speed of the cursor A is in the vicinity of the medium speed (the display time of the cursor per cell is 300 ms). Here, the moving speed of the cursor A is an example, and may be set as appropriate according to the user's attributes, settings by the user, program settings, or the like.

  When an instruction for determining an input value is input by a user operation, the input value acquisition unit 15 acquires an input candidate value displayed in association with the input cell as an input value. The input value acquisition means 15 reads the display value data 22 and the input cell data 23 at the timing when the user selects the determination button T2 in FIG. An input cell identifier of the input cell data 23 is acquired, and an input candidate value associated with the input cell identifier in the display value data 22 is acquired as an input value. The acquired input value is stored as input value data 24.

  Here, when the authentication information is composed of a plurality of digits, a new input cell is determined again by the input cell determination means 13, and the input cell notification means 14 notifies the new input cell, and the input value acquisition means. 15 obtains a new input value. The acquired new input value is concatenated with the input value acquired so far and stored as input value data 24. For example, when the enter button T2 is selected when “1” is displayed in the input cell and then the enter button T2 is selected when “5” is displayed in the new input cell, the input value The data 24 holds “15”. In this way, the process is repeated to obtain an input value of the number of digits necessary for the authentication information.

  The output unit 16 outputs the input value held by the input value data 24. The output means 16 outputs the value when the value held in the input value data 24 reaches the number of digits required for the authentication information.

  When the output unit 16 holds a key for collation with authentication information, the output unit 16 may collate the previously held key with the authentication information and output the result. When another application program or device has a key for collation, the output unit 16 inputs the authentication information acquired by the user's operation to the application program or device.

  With reference to FIG. 6, an input support method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The process shown in FIG. 6 shows a process for inputting one digit of authentication information. The process of FIG. 6 is repeated according to the number of digits of the authentication information.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the cursor display means 11 displays the display device 30 so that the position of the cursor A is sequentially changed as shown in step S11. When the cursor position is inquired by the input cell notification means 14, the cursor position may be input to the input cell notification means 14. Further, every time the position of the cursor A changes, the cursor display means 11 may input the position of the cursor to the input cell notification means 14.

  On the other hand, the value display means 12 displays an input candidate value in each cell in step S21. Therefore, in step S22, the process waits for the user to input a display value change instruction by operating the display value change instruction button T1a or T1b. When a display value change instruction is input by the user, the association between the input candidate value and each cell is changed in step S23 by a clockwise or counterclockwise shift or the like.

  After that, when a display value change instruction is input by the user in step S24, the association between the input candidate value and each cell is changed in step S23. When the display value is inquired by the input value acquisition means 15, the display value of each cell at that timing is returned to the input cell notification means 14.

  The input cell notification means 14 appropriately acquires the position where the cursor A is displayed, and determines whether or not the cursor A is displayed in the input cell in step S31. If the cursor A is not displayed in the input cell, the process returns to step S31. When the cursor A is displayed on the input cell, in step S32, the input cell notification means 14 notifies the user of the input cell by vibration. In this process, the processes in steps S31 and S32 are repeated until at least the determination button T2 is selected by the user and the input value is instructed.

  The input value acquisition unit 15 is configured such that the input cell notifying unit 14 notifies the user of the input cell, the user sets the input value in the input cell, the decision button T2 is selected by the user, and the input value is instructed The process will be started later. The input value acquisition unit 15 waits for the determination button T2 to be selected in step S51. When the determination button T2 is selected, the display value at that timing is acquired and the identifier of the input cell is acquired. In step S52, the input value acquisition unit 15 acquires an input candidate value (display value) in the input cell as an input value.

  As described above, according to the input support method according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the user inputs the authentication information, the input cell is notified by a method that only the user can recognize, such as vibration. In addition, since the input cell is set at random each time, it is possible to avoid leakage of authentication information not only for peeping by a human but also for recording of an authentication action by a camera or the like.

  In addition, the input support method according to the embodiment of the present invention displays the input candidate value on the display device 30, and the user shifts the input candidate value so that the authentication information is displayed in the notified input cell. This is realized by a simple input method. In addition, since a plurality of input candidate values are displayed on the display device 30, it is difficult to visually identify the input value, so that leakage of authentication information due to peeping can be avoided. Furthermore, the user only needs to store authentication information such as a personal identification number, and the user's memory burden is similar to that of the existing personal authentication method.

  As described above, the input support method according to the embodiment of the present invention can avoid leakage of authentication information due to peeping at the time of inputting authentication information without increasing the memory burden on the user.

(First modification)
With reference to FIG. 7, an input support method according to a first modification will be described. The cursor display means of the information processing apparatus according to the first modification shown in FIG. 7 displays a plurality of cursors A1, A2, A3 and A4 with different decorations. One of the plurality of cursors having different decorations is known to the user and constitutes a part of the authentication information. The input cell notification means causes the user output device to output when the input cell is displayed with a decoration cursor known by the user.

  The cursors with different decorations can be cursors with different colors such as black, red, blue and green, or cursors with different patterns such as clover and heart, as long as the user can properly identify each cursor. But it ’s okay. At the timing notified by the user output device by vibration or the like, the user recognizes, as an input cell, a cell on which a cursor with a known decoration is displayed. Further, the user sets a value to be input by the user in this input cell and selects the decision button.

  According to such a first modified example, since a plurality of cursors are displayed, leakage of authentication information can be avoided. Even if the third party grasps the timing notified to the user by the user output device according to the instruction of the input cell determining means, the third party cannot determine which cursor indicates the input cell. It is possible to avoid leakage of decoration indicating a cell and input authentication information. Further, in addition to the authentication information according to the embodiment, the user only has to wake up the decoration of the cursor as a key, and while suppressing an increase in the memory burden, it is possible to perform a peeping by a third party or recording with a camera. Security against vulnerabilities can be improved.

(Second modification)
In the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the cells are installed radially has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, cells may be displayed in several stages like a calculator. Also in the information processing apparatus according to the second modification, the input candidate value is displayed in each cell, and the cursor moves while selecting any cell. Further, by selecting the right shift button or the left shift button, it is possible to change the correspondence between the cells and the input candidate values displayed in the cells.

  As described above, any user interface may be used as long as the input support method according to the embodiment of the present invention can be realized.

(Third Modification)
In the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the user uses the information processing apparatus 1 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a user logs in to a server connected via a communication network, the input support method according to the embodiment of the present invention may be used. For example, the output unit 16 transmits the input value data 24 obtained by the input support method according to the embodiment of the present invention to the server, and collates it with authentication information that is a predetermined correct value in the processing in the server. Also good. In this case, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not to start the application based on the collation result acquired from the server and operates.

However, it is understood that the description and drawings constituting a part of this disclosure limit the present invention. Should not. From this disclosure, various alternative embodiments, examples, and operational techniques will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

  For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a case where a user inputs one number as an input value by pressing the enter button T2 will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a single character, symbol, figure, or the like may be set as an input candidate value, or a series of numbers, numbers, symbols, figures, or the like may be set. Thus, when the user presses the enter button T2, the user can input one character, symbol, figure, a series of numbers, numbers, symbols, figures, or the like. In addition, the input method according to the embodiment of the present invention is not only a multi-digit number but also an authentication using a password consisting of an arbitrary character set, a picture or a figure for a child or special use as authentication information, Applicable.
