Based on conditions such as the number of times the first application has been started and the like, at least data that can be displayed is selected from the data sent from the second application data reference unit 11 and the data prepared in the display information database unit 16. Are selected, and weights indicating priorities are given to the selected data to create a display information management table.
[0042]
FIG. 7 shows the detailed process of step S11 in FIG. In FIG. 7, the display information management table creator 12 first takes in the data sent from the second application data reference unit 11 as a process of step S31, and then, as a process of step S32, stores the internal storage 89 Of the database prepared in the display information database unit 16 is set as the reference destination. Then, the display information management table creator 12 refers to the data of the display information database 16 and the data transmitted from the second application data reference unit 11 as the process of step S33.
[0043]
Here, the database prepared in the display information database unit 16 can be, for example, the one shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is an example. In FIG. 8, a database prepared in the display information database unit 16 includes information representing any one of various characters such as “cat”, “dock”, “mouse”, “bird”, and the like. Dialogue information (line) and conditions for displaying the image of the character, the text of the dialogue, the background image, and the like on the display unit 82 and outputting sound effects, music, and the like from the ringer 78 (hereinafter referred to as appearance conditions). And the information indicating which of the reference data of FIG. 6 collected by the second application data reference unit 11 is to be used are included in each appearance pattern number (No. 1001, 1002, etc.). They are formed in association with each other. Information indicating the classification of some categories is also prepared in the items of the database. In the example of FIG. 8, a limited category, a general category, and the like are provided as the first category, and further, an anniversary category, a birthday category, an event category, and the like are provided as the second categories that subdivide the first categories. . Note that these categories are merely examples, and may be further divided into more categories.
[0044]
The limited category of the first category is a category indicating that it can appear only once a day even if the appearance condition is satisfied, while the general category is any number of times a day as long as the appearance condition is satisfied. This is a category indicating that it can appear. The second category of the anniversary category is, for example, a category indicating an anniversary such as Children's Day or Christmas, the birthday category is a category indicating the birthday of the user, and the event category is the above anniversary or birthday. This is a category corresponding to any event other than.
[0045]
In the above-mentioned line item, text data of the line itself and a control code for determining the arrangement (for example, document style) of each of the text data, and character images, background images, sound effects and music to appear together with the line And control codes for instructing each of them. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the control code includes a code (image xxx, voice yyy) for specifying an image and a voice, a code (character cc) for specifying a character, and a code for specifying a line feed insertion. A code (line feed), a code for specifying time (time nn), a code for specifying characters (character zzz), a code for specifying reference data (reference aaa), and a code for specifying end of display Code (end) etc. In particular, the code for designating the image and the sound and the code for designating the character are used when the image / sound output data creating unit 14 described later retrieves the image, sound data, and character image data from the image / sound database unit 17. Used for That is, the image / sound database unit 17 includes, for example, a database in which various background images are associated with image numbers (images 001, 002,...) As shown in FIG. A database in which sound effects (music, sound, etc.) are associated with voice numbers (voices 001, 002,...), And various character images (face and figure images) and character numbers (characters 01, 02,...) Are prepared, and image data, audio data, and character image data corresponding to the respective codes are extracted from the image / audio database unit 17. Note that the example of FIG. 12 shows only the database portion of the character “bird”. These characters can be added or changed by downloading, for example.
[0046]
Returning to FIG. 7, the display information management table creator 12 performs the processing in step S34 based on conditions such as the current date and time information and the number of times the first application has been started. Displayable data is selected from the data and the data in the display information database unit 16. Here, the display information management table creator 12 advances the process to step S37 when the data cannot be displayed, and advances the process to step S35 when the data can be displayed.
[0047]
In step S35, the display information management table creator 12 weights the appearance patterns corresponding to the data that can be displayed. The weighting is to set the priority of each appearance pattern, that is, to set the appearance ratio. The priority is determined such that, for example, the appearance pattern when the first appearance character is used is the highest, the appearance pattern corresponding to the birthday, and then the appearance pattern corresponding to various anniversaries. The weighting may be always performed, or may be performed only on a desired or predetermined appearance pattern. The weighting may be performed by the next-stage display information determination unit 13 prior to the determination of the display information, instead of the display information management table creation unit 12. After the processing in step S35, the display information management table creation unit 12 proceeds to step S36.
[0048]
When the process proceeds to step S36, the display information management table creator 12 adds, to the display information management table, an appearance pattern corresponding to each of the displayable data for each of the first categories prepared in advance, and then proceeds to step S37. Processing proceeds to
[0049]
In step S37, the display information management table creator 12 determines whether or not the last reference of the display information database 16 has been completed. The process is passed to the unit 13, and if the last reference is not completed, the process proceeds to step S38.
[0050]
When the process proceeds to step S38, the display information management table creator 12 increments the reference destination of the display information database 16 by 1, and then returns to step S33. Subsequent steps are the same as described above.
[0051]
When the display information management table creation unit 12 creates the display information management table for each category of the first category as in the flowchart of FIG. 7 described above, the data processing unit 1 proceeds to step S12 of FIG. Proceed with the process.
[0052]
When proceeding to the process of step S12 in FIG. 4, the display information determining unit 13 determines the appearance pattern according to the weighting from the display information management table, thereby displaying the character image and the background image data to be displayed on the display unit 82. , Text data of speech, and data such as sound effects output from the speaker of the ringer 78 are determined.
[0053]
FIG. 13 shows the detailed process of step S12 in FIG. In FIG. 13, the display information determining unit 13 first specifies, as a process of step S41, a character corresponding to the accumulated call time, for example, from among the characters that can appear. Next, the display information determination unit 13 determines whether or not the identified character has a first appearance character that has never appeared in the past, as the process of step S42. If it is determined in step S42 that the character is a first-appearing character, the display information determining unit 13 stores the data for the character (character image, background image, sound effect, dialogue, etc.) in the image / audio database in step S47. Obtained from the unit 17. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S42 that there is no first appearance character, the display information determining unit 13 proceeds to step S43.
[0054]
When the process proceeds to step S43, the display information determining unit 13 obtains the number of available appearance patterns for each category of the first classification from the display information management table, and uses the number of appearance patterns to determine a predetermined number of occurrence patterns. A first parameter corresponding to the random function and a second parameter corresponding to the weight are generated. As an example, the number of available appearance patterns of the limited category is “A”, the number of available appearance patterns of the general category is “B”, the random function is “R”, and the weighting coefficient (appearance ratio) is “ When “W” is set, the first parameter can use a value “C” obtained by a calculation formula of R * (A + B), and the second parameter is a calculation of (A + B) * W / 100. The value "D" obtained by the equation can be used. Then, the display information determining unit 13 assigns the appearance pattern to be used to any one of the first categories by comparing the first and second parameters, that is, for example, by determining whether C <D or not, as the process of step S44. Decide what to do. For example, the display information determination unit 13 sets the appearance pattern of the limited category when C <D, and sets the appearance pattern of the general category when C ≦ D.
[0055]
Thereafter, the display information determining unit 13 determines data of a character image, a background image, a sound effect, and the like, and text data of dialogue corresponding to the appearance pattern of the determined category as the process of step S45, as shown in FIG. The process proceeds to step S13.
[0056]
When proceeding to the processing of step S13 in FIG. 4, the image / audio output data creation unit 14 acquires data such as the character image, the background image, and the sound effect determined by the processing in FIG. From these data and the text data of the dialogue, data for image / audio output is generated.
[0057]
Then, the image / audio output data creating unit 14 outputs display data including character image data, background image data, and speech text data to the display unit 82 as processing in step S14, and outputs audio data such as sound effects. Is output to the audio output unit (the speaker of the ringer 78).
[0058]
