Abstract
Information processing that protects personal information is disclosed. In one example, an information processing apparatus includes a metadata generation unit that generates metadata from information indicating a state of an occupant riding in a mobile body, the information being obtained from a sensor provided in the mobile body. A first encryption unit encrypts the generated metadata, and a first recording unit stores the encrypted metadata.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing a program, and
- at least one processor configured to execute the program to perform operations comprising:
- generating metadata by electronically processing sensor-obtained information indicating a state of an occupant riding a mobile body, the metadata being generated by abstracting the information to include an action of the occupant and exclude personal information of the occupant;
- performing a first encryption that encrypts the generated metadata using a first common key associated with the occupant;
- and
- storing the metadata encrypted using the first common key;
- wherein the information includes at least a moving image of the occupant;
- wherein the metadata includes information for generation of at least one of a moving image of an avatar or a moving image of a skeleton model while omitting personal identifiers of the occupant;
- and
- performing a second encryption to encrypt the sensor-obtained information using both the first common key and a second common key supplied by the occupant, such that the encrypted sensor-obtained information is accessible only upon provision of both the first common key and the second common key.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program, the program being executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- generating metadata by electronically processing sensor-obtained information indicating a state of an occupant riding a mobile body, the metadata being generated by abstracting the information to include an action of the occupant and exclude personal information of the occupant;
- performing a first encryption that encrypts the generated metadata using a first common key associated with the occupant;
- and
- storing the metadata encrypted using the first common key:
- wherein the information includes at least a moving image of the occupant;
- wherein the metadata includes information for generation of at least one of a moving image of an avatar or a moving image of a skeleton model while omitting personal identifiers of the occupant;
- and
- performing a second encryption to encrypt the sensor-obtained information using both the first common key and a second common key supplied by the occupant, such that the encrypted sensor-obtained information is accessible only upon provision of both the first common key and the second common key.
