Abstract
An information processing device having a to-be-worn portion capable of being worn at one ear of a user, the information processing device comprising: a first sound pickup section configured to pick up external sound; a sound emission section configured to emit sound to the one ear of the user; and a control section configured to determine whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied in a state where the information processing device is in a vehicle, and, when determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied, cause the sound emission section to emit the external sound picked up by the first sound pickup section.
Claims8
An information processing device having a to-be-worn portion capable of being worn at one ear of a user, the information processing device comprising:
- a first sound pickup configured to pick up external sound;
- a sound emitter configured to emit sound to the one ear of the user;
- and
- a computer programmed to:
- authenticate the user based on acquired biological information;
- authenticate a vehicle based on a result of the user authentication;
- determine whether or not a power switch is operated to be ON in a state where the information processing device is in the vehicle;
- and
- when determining that the power switch is operated to be ON after authenticating the vehicle, cause the sound emitter to emit the external sound picked up by the first sound pickup.
A sound emission control method to be executed by a computer of an information processing device which has a to-be-worn portion capable of being worn at one ear of a user, and which includes a sound pickup configured to pick up external sound and a sound emitter configured to emit sound to the one ear of the user, the sound emission control method comprising:
- authenticating the user based on acquired biological information;
- authenticating a vehicle based on a result of the user authentication;
- determining whether or not power switch is operated to be ON in a state where the information processing device is in the vehicle;
- and
- causing, when it is determined that the power switch is operated to be ON after authenticating the vehicle, the sound emitter to emit the external sound picked up by the sound pickup.
A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a sound emission control program to be executed by a computer of an information processing device which has a to-be-worn portion capable of being worn at one ear of a user, and which includes a sound pickup configured to pick up external sound and a sound emitter configured to emit sound to the one ear of the user, the sound emission control program comprising:
- authenticating the user based on acquired biological information;
- authenticating a vehicle based on a result of the user authentication;
- determining whether or not a power switch is operated to be ON in a state where the information processing device is in the vehicle;
- and
- causing, when it is determined that the power switch is operated to be ON after authenticating the vehicle, the sound emitter to emit the external sound picked up by the sound pickup.
