When sending an image file attached to the created mail, after the user selects the destination from the address book, obtain the image format, image size, file size information that the destination terminal can receive, and follow the information The data conversion unit 13 automatically converts the image file into an image file that can be displayed on the destination terminal and sends the image file. In addition, the data conversion unit 13 may be realized by hardware or may be realized by software.
[0015]
FIG. 2 shows an example of an address book profile setting. Reference numeral 50 denotes an example of an address book profile setting screen. In the present embodiment, the MEMO of the name 51, the phone numbers 1 of the readings 52 and 53, the phone number 2 of the 54, the mail address 1 of the 55, the mail address 2 of the 56, and the MEMO of the 57 can be set. When 55 mail addresses 1 or 56 mail addresses 2 are selected on the address book profile setting screen 50, the screen shifts to a mail address setting screen 60.
[0016]
On the mail address setting screen 60, a mail address 61, an attachment conversion presence / absence setting 62 for setting whether or not to perform a conversion process when sending an image attached mail to this mail address, and a display at the destination terminal are possible. An attachment conversion setting 63 for registering information for converting to a format is set. The attachment conversion presence / absence setting 62 can be individually set in a portable mode for attaching an image file of an image size for a portable terminal and a PC mode for attaching a high-definition image file for a PC or the like. By providing a plurality of modes in this way, the user can make settings in accordance with the mobile or PC.
[0017]
When the attachment conversion presence / absence setting 62 is set to “none” in the mobile mode and the PC mode, the mail is sent without performing any conversion processing on the attached file. When the attachment conversion presence / absence setting 62 is set to “Yes”, the attached file is converted into a format that can be displayed on the destination terminal and transmitted according to the contents set in the attachment conversion setting 63. When the attachment conversion setting 63 is selected on the mail setting screen 60, the screen shifts to the attachment conversion setting screen 64.
[0018]
On the attachment conversion setting screen 64, the communication carrier setting 65, the image type setting 66, the attached image size setting 67, the attached file size setting 68, and the automatic conversion setting 69 are provided as information for converting to a format that can be displayed on the destination terminal. Set. It is not necessary to perform all of these settings. For example, if the communication carrier setting 65 has been performed, even if the items of the image type setting 66, the attached image size setting 67, and the attached file size setting 68 are not set, the attached image conversion processing is performed. It can be performed.
[0019]
When the communication carrier setting 65 is selected on the attachment conversion setting screen 64, the screen shifts to a communication carrier setting screen 70. On the communication carrier setting screen 70, a main mobile phone communication carrier group 71 is displayed, and the communication carrier of the mail address being set is selected. If there is no item applicable to the main mobile phone communication carrier group 71, the other item 72 is selected. When the communication carrier is selected by the user, the image carrier is set to the standard image type, size, and the like of the communication carrier. By automatically performing the standard setting in this way, the user does not need to perform each setting such as the image type setting 66 and the attached image size setting 67 one by one, so that usability can be improved. Each condition of the carrier standard setting may be obtained by reading a condition stored in the storage unit 8 in advance, or may be obtained by downloading using the Internet or the like. For example, even when the number of communication carriers increases, the carrier standard setting conditions can be obtained by using the Internet.
[0020]
Before performing the standard setting, a display such as "Do you want to perform the carrier standard setting? YES / NO" may be displayed, and the setting may be performed only when the confirmation of the user is obtained. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the setting from being performed against the user's intention. When the user answers “NO”, the setting items are displayed in a list, and the items selected by the user are set according to the user input. The setting method of each item will be described later. On the other hand, for the items not selected, the carrier standard is set. As a result, the user can set only necessary items according to his / her preference.
[0021]
Note that the communication carrier may be automatically determined from the mail address, and the communication carrier setting request to the user may be omitted. Thereby, the user's trouble can be saved, and the usability can be improved. Further, the standard setting corresponding to the model may be performed even when the user inputs the model name of the mobile phone without being limited to the communication carrier.
[0022]
Next, a method for setting each item will be described. When the image type setting 66 is selected on the attachment conversion setting screen 64, the screen shifts to the image type setting screen 73. On the image type setting screen 73, an image format that can be displayed on the receiving terminal is set. On the image type setting screen 73, an image format group 75 such as JPEG, PNG (Portable Network Graphics), and BMP (Bit Map) is displayed. When the user selects one from the displayed format group 75, the selected format is set. Note that the image format group 75 shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. Further, by allowing the user to add an image format to the image format group 75, usability can be further improved.
[0023]
If the user selects the carrier standard setting 74, a communication carrier input request screen is displayed, and the standard setting corresponding to the carrier input by the user is performed. Alternatively, the standard setting of the carrier corresponding to the address may be automatically performed. According to this, even when the user does not know which image format to select, it is possible to select a format corresponding to the carrier. If the user selects "do not set" 76, the image format is not converted. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the image format from being converted against the user's intention.
[0024]
When the attached image size setting 67 is selected on the attached conversion setting screen 64, the screen shifts to the image size setting screen 80. On the image size setting screen 80, the maximum display size that the attached image file can display on the destination portable terminal is set. The image size setting screen 80 displays an image size group 78 such as QVGA (Quarter VGA: 240 × 320 dots) and QCIF (Quarter Common Intermediate Format: 144 × 176 dots). Note that the image size group 78 shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. Further, the user can add an image size to the image size group 78 by key input. By making it possible to add data in this way, various size settings can be made according to the transmission destination, and usability can be improved. When the user selects the other item 79, another image size example not displayed in the image size group 78 is displayed. Thus, various size settings can be made without the user inputting the size using the key.
[0025]
Also, as in the case of the image type setting, by providing the carrier standard setting 77, a format corresponding to the carrier can be selected even if it is not clear whether the image format may be selected. Further, by providing “not set” 81, it is possible to prevent the image format from being converted against the user's intention.
[0026]
When the attachment file size setting 68 is selected on the attachment conversion setting screen 64, the screen shifts to the attached file size setting screen 82. On the attached file size setting screen 82, the maximum file size that can be received by the destination terminal is set. On the file size setting screen 82, a file size selection group 84 is displayed. Also, by providing the carrier standard setting 83 as in the case of the image type setting, a file size corresponding to the carrier can be selected even if the user does not know the attached file restriction. Further, by providing “not set” 85, it is possible to prevent the image format from being converted against the user's intention.
[0027]
When the automatic conversion setting 69 is selected on the attached conversion setting screen 64, the screen shifts to the automatic conversion setting screen 86. On the automatic conversion setting screen 86, it is set whether to automatically convert the attached image file when transmitting the attached image or to ask the user for confirmation every time. When the automatic conversion 87 is set, the image is automatically converted to the set image format without asking the user for confirmation when transmitting the attached image. When the transmission confirmation 88 is selected, a message is displayed to the user as to whether or not to convert the attached image file into the set image format, so that the user can confirm each time the mail is transmitted. Further, in the enlargement setting 89, when the image size of the attached image file is smaller than the display screen size of the transmission destination, it is possible to set whether to perform enlargement processing and transmit, or to transmit with the same screen size without enlargement. .
[0028]
In the above embodiment, the items to be set are selected from the attached conversion setting screen 64, and then the contents of each item are set. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after performing the image format setting on the image type setting screen 73, an inquiry display “Do you want to set the image type?” Is displayed, and if the user desires, the screen shifts to the image size setting screen 80. good. Thereby, the user can move to the next setting screen without returning to the attached conversion setting screen 64, so that the setting can be performed efficiently.
[0029]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing mail transmission of the mobile phone according to the first embodiment. When mail transmission is instructed, mail transmission processing is started. First, it is determined whether an image file is attached (S101). If the image file is not attached, the mail is transmitted as it is (S112). If an image file is attached, the information of the attached image file is acquired (S102), and the attachment conversion presence / absence setting 62 confirms "Yes" / "No" (S103). If the attachment conversion presence / absence setting 62 is "none", the mail is sent as it is (S112).
[0030]
If the attachment conversion presence / absence setting 62 is “present”, various information set in the attachment conversion setting 63 is acquired (S104). Next, the image format of the attached image file is compared with the image format set on the image type setting screen 73 to determine whether to convert the image format (S105). If the image format of the attached image file does not match the image format set on the image type setting screen 73, the attached image file is converted into the image format set on the image type setting screen 73 (S107), and the process proceeds to S106. If the image format of the attached image file matches the image format set on the image type setting screen 73, or if “not set” 76 is set, the process proceeds to S106 without converting the image format.
[0031]
In S106, the image size (the number of dots) of the attached image file is compared with the image size set on the image size setting screen 80. If the image size of the attached image file is larger than the image size set on the image size setting screen 80, or if the enlargement setting 89 is set to “enlarge”, the image size set on the image size setting screen 80 is used. A scaling process is performed so as to be (S108).
[0032]
Next, the file size of the attached image file is compared with the file size limit set on the attached file size setting screen 82 (S109). If the size of the attached image file is larger, a message is displayed asking the user whether or not to increase the compression ratio of the image file, and whether or not to change the compression ratio of the image file is determined based on the input result of the user. A determination is made (S110). If it is determined that the image file may be compressed (Yes in S110), the compression ratio of the image file is changed (S113). With JPEG or the like, which is an image file format that has been irreversibly compressed, the image file size can be reduced by lowering the image quality. In S113, the image file is regenerated by increasing the compression ratio without changing the image type. After the compression processing, a mail with the image file attached is transmitted (S112).
[0033]
On the other hand, when it is determined that the compression ratio of the image file is not changed (No in S110), it is determined whether to reduce the image file size by reducing the image size of the attached image file (S111). If the image size is to be reduced (Yes in S111), a reduction process or a cutout process is performed so that the image size becomes equal to or less than the limit value set on the attached file size setting screen 82 (S114).
[0034]
If the image size is not to be reduced (No in S111), the e-mail is transmitted with the image file attached without performing the processing (S112). In addition, since the file size of the attached image file exceeds the limit value, a warning display indicating that the receiving terminal may not be able to receive or display the image file is performed, and the user is asked whether to transmit the image file without processing. After confirmation, transmission may be performed. Further, together with the warning display, an inquiry may be made again as to whether or not to change the compression ratio or the number of pixels of the image file. If the user selects the change, the image processing may be performed in S113 or S114. Thereby, it is possible to inform the user of the possibility of the reception failure and to prompt the image processing.
[0035]
In the present embodiment, when the file size of the attached image file is larger than the set value, the user is allowed to select whether to reduce the file size or to reduce the size. This saves the user from having to select each time. If the image file cannot be compressed, or if the user has registered that the image cannot be compressed, S110 may be omitted and the process may proceed to S111.
[0036]
With reference to FIG. 4, a case where a mail with a file attached is transmitted from the mobile phone A to the mobile phone B and the mobile phone C will be described. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the display area size of the display screen 43 of the mobile phone A is 220 × 176, and the standard image format is JPEG. Further, the size of the display area of the display screen 44 of the mobile phone B is 160 × 120, and only an image in the image format of JPEG can be displayed. The size of the display area of the display screen 45 of the mobile phone C is 220 × 176, and only the image format of PNG can be displayed. In the address book stored in the storage unit of the mobile phone A, attachment settings for sending files to the mobile phones B and C are registered.
[0037]
When the user of the mobile phone A instructs to send a mail with a screen size of 220 × 176 and an image file of the image format JPEG attached, the mobile phone A automatically converts the image file in the data conversion unit according to the attachment setting. After the conversion, e-mail is sent to the mobile phones B and C. Specifically, the image size of the image file transmitted to the mobile phone B is converted from 220 × 176 to 160 × 120, and the image format of the image file transmitted to the mobile phone C is converted from JPEG to a PNG format file.
[0038]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the attachment settings such as the image file format and the image size are stored in association with the mail address in the address book, and the image file is automatically converted according to the stored attachment settings. Therefore, it is not necessary to give a conversion instruction each time an image file is transmitted, and the usability can be improved. Further, in this embodiment, when performing the attachment setting, the carrier standard setting can be performed by inputting the communication carrier and the mail address, so that the trouble of registering all the items one by one can be omitted.
[0039]
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the setting of the address book profile including the attachment conversion setting is performed using the mail. The configuration of the mobile phone in the present embodiment is the same as the configuration of the mobile phone shown in FIG.
[0040]
FIG. 5 shows an example of a mail used for setting an address book profile in the present embodiment. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 200 denotes a mail transmission date and time, 201 denotes a sender mail address, 202 denotes a mail title, 203 denotes a mail text, 204 denotes a profile setting identification code, and 205 denotes a profile setting parameter. is there.
[0041]
When sending an e-mail for registering an address book profile, send the e-mail with a specific subject in the e-mail title. For example, by setting the mail title 202 to “*** attachment setting ***”, the mail can be identified as a mail for profile registration. In the mail text, a profile setting identification code 204 indicating which item of the address book is to be set, and a profile setting parameter 205 which is a setting content for the item are described. In the example of FIG. 5, only one setting item is described for each line. However, if the item and the item delimiter are clear, they may be described successively. Further, the identification code shown in FIG. 5 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. Other symbol groups and character groups may be used. Before describing the mail body 203 in FIG. 5, FIG. 6 will be described first.
[0042]
FIG. 6 shows a comparison table between the setting items of the address book and the profile setting identification codes. 6, a column 210 is an identification number, and a column 211 is a menu item A, which is an item corresponding to the menu on the address book profile setting screen 50. A column 212 is a menu item B, which is an item corresponding to a menu mainly on the attachment conversion setting screen 64 below the menu on the address book profile setting screen 50. A menu item C 213 is an item corresponding to the menu below the menu item B. The column 214 is a setting parameter.
[0043]
As in the example shown in FIG. 5, when + 1 + Hitachi Taro is described in the mail text, if there is no profile registered as “Hitachi Taro” in the information that has already been registered, “Hitachi Taro” is newly added. "Profile. If the profile has already been registered, the user is notified that the profile of "Hitachi Taro" already exists and the user is prompted to select whether to modify the profile. By performing the notification in this manner, it is possible to prevent the overwriting from being performed against the user's intention.
[0044]
If there is a description of + 2 + Hitachitaro in the mail text, the name is registered in the profile reading 52 in which the name is registered with +1+. Similarly, when there is + 3 + 09023456xxx, 090234456xxx is registered for telephone number 1. +51+ indicates that the mail address is set to the mail address corresponding to the mail address 1, and + 51 + vwxyz @ xxx. ne. jp.jp, the mail address corresponding to the mail address 1 is vwxyz @ xxx. ne. jp is registered. +521+ indicates the setting of the portable mode attachment conversion presence / absence setting 62, and when + 521 + Y is described, the portable mode attachment conversion presence / absence setting 62 is registered as “present”. +531+ indicates that the communication carrier setting 65 is registered, and if + 531 + A is described, the company A is registered as the communication carrier. +532+ indicates that the image type setting of the attachment conversion setting 63 is to be performed. When + 532 + A is described, the carrier standard is set in the image type setting 66. +533+ indicates that the image size setting of the attachment conversion setting 63 is to be performed, and when + 533 + B is described, 176 × 220 is set to the image size setting 67.
[0045]
5 and 6 are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, the telephone number information may be omitted, or other information such as an address may be added.
[0046]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a registration method using an e-mail for registering an address book profile. When an e-mail is received by the mobile phone, the e-mail title is obtained (S220), and it is checked whether the e-mail title is a specific title such as "*** attachment setting ***". Is determined (S221). If it is determined that the mail is not the profile setting mail, the receiving process is performed as a normal mail (S231).
[0047]
If it is determined that the mail is a profile setting mail, information used for managing the profile such as a name, a telephone number, and a mail address is acquired from the mail text (S222). Then, a search is performed from the information such as the name, telephone number, and mail address in the mail text to determine whether the profile to be registered is already registered in the address book (S223). If it is determined that the profile is already registered, a message is displayed asking the user whether or not to overwrite the profile. If the overwrite registration is instructed (Yes in S224), the mail text information is obtained (S226). ). On the other hand, when the overwrite rejection is instructed (S224 No), the user is made to select whether or not to newly register (S225). When newly registering, the process proceeds to S226, and when not newly registering, the process proceeds to S231.
[0048]
After acquiring the text information for each line in S226, it is determined whether or not the acquired text information is a combination of a valid profile setting identification code 204 and a profile setting parameter 205 (S227). If the description is valid, the information described in the profile setting parameter 205 is registered in the corresponding item according to the profile setting identification code 204 described in FIG. 6 (S228). If the description is invalid, the data in that line is ignored (S229). In S230, it is determined whether or not there is a continuation of the data in the text, and if there is, the process proceeds to S226 to obtain the text of the next line.
[0049]
As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to easily add and modify the profile of the address book by transmitting and receiving the mail in which the profile information is described. In the present embodiment, the description has been made on the assumption that the user inputs the mail text using an input unit such as a key. However, the profile information is stored in the storage unit in advance, and the user instructs the transmission of the profile information. Then, the text may be read from the storage unit and the text may be automatically created. The user can save time and effort in creating the mail body, thereby improving usability.
[0050]
Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which the profile is described in the text in the text is shown. However, the profile may be described in the attached file, and may be described in the binary format or another format instead of the text format. No problem.
[0051]
Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, profile information is registered using the short-range communication unit.
[0052]
FIG. 8 shows a mobile phone according to the third embodiment in FIG. The same parts as those of the mobile phone shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. The mobile phone according to the present embodiment includes the short-range communication unit 14. As the short-range communication unit, for example, an infrared transmission device or a weak radio wave wireless communication device such as Bluetooth (trademark of Ericsson) can be considered. In the present embodiment, a case where an infrared transmission device is used will be described as an example. .
[0053]
The profile of the transmitting side is stored in advance in the storage unit 8 or the storage medium 12 of the mobile phone on the profile transmitting side. The profile on the transmitting side may be set by selecting one's own profile from the menu format, or may be set by the user using the key input unit 7.
[0054]
When transmitting his / her profile to another mobile phone, the short-range communication unit 14 of the transmitting mobile phone and the receiving mobile phone is arranged so as to be in a good communication state. For example, when the short-range communication unit 14 is an infrared transmission communication device, the distance between the short-range communication unit 14 of the transmitting side mobile phone and the short-range communication unit 14 of the receiving side mobile phone is about 20 cm, and there is an obstacle that blocks infrared rays between them. There is no state. The control unit 9 of the transmitting mobile phone sends data such as the type of communication and the communication speed supported by the transmitting mobile phone to the short-range communication unit 14 according to a predetermined protocol.

The short-range communication unit 14 encodes the data sent from the control unit 9 and transmits the encoded data as an optical signal. The short-range communication unit 14 of the receiving-side mobile phone receives the optical signal transmitted from the transmitting-side mobile phone, combines the optical signal, and sends the received data to the control unit 9. After transmitting information indicating the communication type and communication speed supported by both the transmitting mobile phone and the receiving terminal device from the receiving mobile phone, the profile information is transmitted from the transmitting mobile phone to the receiving mobile phone. . The receiving-side mobile phone notifies the receiving-side user that the profile information has been transmitted, and allows the user to select whether to register or discard the transmitted profile information in the address book.
[0056]
FIG. 9 shows a flowchart at the time of profile transmission. When transmitting a profile from the transmitting-side mobile phone, first, it is checked whether or not the transmitting-side profile is set (S251). If the profile to be transmitted has been set, communication with the receiving-side mobile phone is started (S252). If the transmitting side profile is not set, the transmitting side user is notified that the profile to be transmitted is not set (S255), and the profile transmitting process is ended (S257).
[0057]
After starting communication with the receiving mobile phone (S252), a response from the receiving mobile phone is confirmed (S253). If there is a response from the receiving mobile phone and normal transmission and reception can be established between the transmitting and receiving mobile phones, the profile is transmitted from the transmitting mobile phone to the receiving mobile phone (S254), and the end of data transmission is confirmed. To end the communication (S257). If there is no response from the receiving-side mobile phone (S253, No), the transmitting-side user is notified that communication with the receiving-side mobile phone could not be established (S256), and the transmission process ends (S257).
[0058]
FIG. 10 shows a flowchart at the time of profile reception. After confirming the reception of data to the short-range communication unit 14 (S261), the receiving-side mobile phone sends back information indicating the communication type and the communication speed to the transmitting-side mobile phone, and establishes communication with the transmitting-side mobile phone (S262). Thereafter, the profile transmitted from the transmitting-side mobile phone is received and stored in the storage unit 8 or the buffer area in the storage medium 12 (S263). Then, a display for confirming whether to register the profile received by the user in the address book is performed (S264). If the user wishes to register (S264 Yes), the received profile is newly registered or overwritten and corrected in the address book (S265), and the profile receiving process ends (S267). On the other hand, if the user does not wish to register (S264 No), the profile information stored in the storage unit 8 or the buffer area in the storage medium 12 is discarded (S266), and the profile reception process ends (S267).
[0059]
Note that the short-range communication unit 14 normally stops operation of the short-range communication unit 14 and starts operation of the short-range communication unit 14 when the key input unit 7 is operated by a user. It is possible to prevent profile reception and reduce power consumption.
