BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The mobile device according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a position information input unit 1, a wireless device 2, a microphone 3, an A / D conversion unit 4, a voice recognition unit 5, a semantic analysis unit 6, a key input unit 7, a schedule management. It has a unit 8, a D / A converter 9, a display 10, a speaker 11, a memory 12, and a sounder 13. In addition, since it is a portable terminal, power is supplied from a battery.
[0012]
A mobile phone will be described as an example of a mobile terminal according to the present embodiment. However, a mobile terminal having similar functions such as portability, information input / output property, and information management property, for example, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), etc. Good.
[0013]
The position information input unit 1 uses a known position information acquisition unit such as a GPS (Global Positioning System), and is connected to the schedule management unit 8.
[0014]
The wireless device 2 is a means for communicating with a base station (not shown), and may be wired / wireless, analog / digital, or a system. The voice signal received by the wireless device 2 is input to the voice recognition unit 5. However, if the audio signal to be received is analog, it must be input to the audio recognition unit 5 via the A / D conversion unit 4.
[0015]
The audio data input to the microphone 3 is converted from an analog signal to a digital signal by the A / D conversion unit 4 and input to the voice recognition unit 5.
[0016]
The voice recognition unit 5 converts voice data input to the wireless device 2 or the microphone 3 into symbol data such as text data. The voice data converted to the symbol data is sent to the semantic analysis unit 6. If the voice data input to the wireless device 2 is already symbol data such as text data, the voice data is sent to the semantic analysis unit 6 without passing through the voice recognition unit 5.
[0017]
The semantic analysis unit 6 extracts words related to the schedule from the symbol data and performs simple semantic analysis using morphological analysis, syntactic analysis, or the like. The data on the schedule obtained by the semantic analysis unit 6 is sent to the schedule management unit 8.
[0018]
The schedule management unit 8 registers the schedule in the memory 12 or updates the schedule in the memory 12 based on the data on the input schedule. Further, the schedule management unit 8 performs a process of inputting position information from the position information input unit 1, a process of outputting audio data to the wireless device 2, a process of outputting display data to the display device 10, and a process of outputting display data to the speaker 11 and the sounder 13. It performs audio output processing, memory management processing of the memory 12, and the like.
[0019]
The digital audio data passes through the D / A converter 9 and is converted into an analog signal, and then output from the speaker 11 to the user.
[0020]
Character data and graphic data from the key input unit 7 and the memory 12 are displayed on the display device 10 via the schedule management unit 8. The display device 10 only needs to display characters, figures, symbols, and the like in a visible manner, and for example, a liquid crystal display can be used.
[0021]
Sound and music data are output from the sounder 13.
[0022]
Schedule data and various data are stored in the memory 12. The memory 12 may be any storage medium that can write and read data, and may be any memory such as a semiconductor memory, a memory using magnetism, and a memory that reads with light.
[0023]
Next, a schedule management method by the portable device according to the present embodiment will be described. First, a method of automatically registering schedule information from voice data during a call will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0024]
At the time of a call using the portable device according to the present embodiment, voice data input to the wireless device 2 or the microphone 3 during the call is recognized by the voice recognition unit 5 and converted into character and symbol data (step S1). .
[0025]
Next, the data that has been replaced with the character data is extracted by the semantic analysis unit 6 with a keyword and a meaning (step S2). The semantic analysis here does not need to be the whole sentence, but first detects words related to the schedule (eg, schedule, meeting, time, schedule, location), and only detects words containing the words related to the schedule. By performing the analysis, the processing can be simplified.
[0026]
The keyword or meaning extracted in step S2 is checked by various methods to determine whether the content is related to the schedule (step S3). If the keyword or meaning is not related to the schedule (NO), the voice data is converted to character data (step S3). S1) If the content is related to the schedule (YES), the schedule management unit 8 compares it with the schedule data currently registered in the memory 12 (step S4).
[0027]
In step S5, if the comparison result in step S4 indicates that the schedule and the currently recognized schedule overlap (YES), the sounder 13 immediately notifies the user that the schedule overlaps by generating a voice message. Or, a display message is displayed on the display unit 10 to inform the user (step S6).
[0028]
Then, the process waits for an instruction from the user as to whether to delete the currently registered schedule and overwrite it or to change the schedule to be registered (step S7). If the change instruction has been input, the process returns to step S1, and after the schedule data is changed (step S8), the process returns to step S1.
[0029]
If the schedules do not overlap in step S5, the contents of the schedule registration and confirmation are performed by a voice message and a display message (step S9). If OK, the schedule management unit 8 registers the schedule in the memory 12 (step S11), and registers. If not, the process returns to step S1. Thus, the schedule can be automatically registered from the contents of the call.
[0030]
Here, when registering the schedule based on the content of the mail instead of the voice, it can be realized by skipping the part of converting the voice data into character data in step S1 and processing.
[0031]
Next, a schedule management method after the date and time of the registered schedule has arrived will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0032]
In the present embodiment, the schedule management unit 8 automatically recognizes the execution of the meeting schedule using the scheduled meeting time and meeting place of the schedule registered in the memory 12 and the location information of the mobile phone, so that the schedule is changed. Whether the digestion has been completed is reflected in the subsequent schedule.
[0033]
First, when the date and time of the registered schedule comes, the schedule management unit 8 acquires the location information of the partner mobile terminal that is to meet with this mobile terminal via the location information input unit 1 (step S21). Note that the location information input unit 1 may have a short-range communication function such as Bluetooth, and may be configured to know whether or not there is a response from the partner terminal near the mobile terminal (location information input unit 1).
[0034]
Next, the schedule management unit 8 determines whether or not the location information of both terminals matches at the registered scheduled position (step S22). If they match, it is regarded as the scheduled execution end, and the end mark is recorded in the schedule of the memory 12. (Step S26). If they do not match within a certain period of time, a message to that effect is displayed on the display device 10 to notify the user (step S23) and wait for an input instruction from the user as to whether or not to make a reservation again (step S24). . If there is an input indicating that re-reservation is not required via the key input unit 7, it is deleted from the schedule (step S25). If there is an input for re-reservation, a call is made to the other party's telephone number via the wireless device 2. Is performed (step S27). This may be an email.
[0035]
Through the above processing, it is possible to automatically recognize the meeting schedule using the position information and perform processing for reflecting whether or not the schedule has been completed.
[0036]
In the above description, by acquiring the position information of the other party's mobile terminal, the execution (digestion) of the schedule of the face end, the meeting, etc. can be reliably managed. However, when the other party is not specified or when there is no other party, etc. It is not always necessary to acquire the location information of the other party's mobile terminal.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the gist of the present invention, it is possible to automatically perform registration information deletion deletion of schedule information, etc., by having a function of performing voice recognition of the contents of a call. This eliminates the need for laborious manual registration work, and makes it easier to use the schedule.
[0038]
In addition, by having the function of acquiring position information, the management of the end of the schedule and the end of the schedule can be automatically performed, and the schedule can be handled more easily.
[0039]
Further, by having a function of recognizing the meaning of character information such as e-mails, it is possible to automatically perform registration information deletion deletion and the like. This eliminates the need for laborious manual registration work, and makes it easier to use the schedule.
