  Next, the information server 200 and the peripheral device 400 that communicate with the mobile communication terminal 100 having such a configuration will be described.

  The information server 200 (see FIG. 1) is an information processing apparatus such as a workstation or a personal computer having a server function, and acquires various types of information and stores them in an internal storage device. Further, the information server 200 has a function of distributing information accumulated via the communication network NW. In the present embodiment, according to a request (pre-registration) from the mobile communication terminal 100 that is a service providing destination, Information (update information) is distributed to the mobile communication terminal 100. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the information server 200 provides a service for distributing information that changes at any time, such as stock price information, in real time.

  The peripheral device 400 (see FIG. 1) is various electronic devices that can wirelessly communicate with the mobile communication terminal 100. That is, a configuration for performing wireless communication using the same wireless communication method (for example, infrared (IrDA), Bluetooth (trademark), wireless LAN, etc.) as the wireless communication method realized by the short-range wireless unit 113 of the mobile communication terminal 100 ( Electronic device provided with short-range wireless communication means).

  Any electronic device having such a wireless communication function can be used as the peripheral device 400. In the present embodiment, for example, a television receiver, a monitor device, a desktop personal computer (PC), a home game machine, a mobile PC, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants: portable information terminal), a portable game machine, a digital camera, Electronic devices such as portable audio players and projectors are assumed as the peripheral device 400.

  The peripheral device 400 that can be employed in the present embodiment outputs information acquired from the mobile communication terminal 100 via the short-range wireless communication means by sound, display (characters, images), light, or the like in addition to the original function. What has the function to do is desirable. In this case, the mobile communication terminal 100 and the peripheral device 400 can communicate with each other by using a wireless communication module or program conforming to an interconnection standard such as DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). .

  Next, the operation of the mobile communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention as described above will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, the “information notification process” executed by the mobile communication terminal 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Here, for example, the mobile communication terminal 100 accesses the information server 200 at regular intervals to request information distribution, and the “information notification process” is started simultaneously with the information distribution request to the information server 200. Shall.

  When the process is started, the control unit 116 controls the wireless communication unit 101 to receive information distributed from the information server 200, and stores the received information in the storage unit 115 (step S101).

  When receiving the distribution information from the information server 200, the control unit 116 determines whether or not the information received this time is update information (step S102). Here, it is assumed that the information server 200 acquires the stock price information distributed in real time, and it is determined whether or not the current received stock price information is update information for the previously received stock price information. In this case, for example, it is determined whether or not it is update information based on the creation date and version information and the like of the distributed information.

  If it has not been updated from the previously received information (step S102: No), the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is update information from the information received last time (step S102: Yes), the control part 116 is the information (henceforth "notification object information") with which the update information received should notify the user of the mobile communication terminal 100. (Step S103).

  Here, it is assumed that information indicating a notification condition set in advance by the user is stored in the storage unit 115, and the control unit 116 determines whether or not the information received this time matches the notification condition. To do. For example, in the case of stock price information, even if the distribution information as a whole is updated, it is not useful information for the user if there is no change in the stock price for the brand desired by the user. Therefore, for example, an arbitrary brand is designated as the notification condition, and when comparing the information received last time with the information received this time, it is determined whether or not there is a change in the information about the designated brand. Thus, it is determined whether or not the notification condition is met.

  Here, when it is determined that the information received this time does not match the notification condition and notification to the user is unnecessary (step S103: No), the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the notification condition is met and the information received this time is information to be notified to the user (notification target information) (step S103: Yes), the control unit 116 controls the state detection unit 111 to Whether the mobile communication terminal 100 is in a state recognized by the user when the received information is notified by the mobile communication terminal 100 (hereinafter referred to as “recognizable state”). Is determined (step S105).

  Here, whether or not the current state of the mobile communication terminal 100 is recognizable by acquiring a detection signal indicating the open / closed state and posture of the mobile communication terminal 100 and the peripheral light amount from the state detection unit 111. Is determined. For example, when the mobile communication terminal 100 is closed, there is a high possibility that the mobile communication terminal 100 is not in use. There is a high possibility that it is stored in. In such a state, even if the received information is displayed on the display unit 107, there is a high possibility that the user cannot recognize it. Hereinafter, such a state is referred to as a “recognition impossible state”.

  On the other hand, if the mobile communication terminal 100 is in an open state, it is highly likely that the user is using the mobile communication terminal 100. Furthermore, if the mobile communication terminal 100 is in a normal use posture or the surrounding light amount is bright, the recognition is possible. Can be determined.

  If it is determined that such a state is recognizable (step S105: Yes), the control unit 116 controls the display unit 107 because the received information is displayed on the display unit 107 and is recognized by the user. Thus, a message indicating that the information has been updated and the update information received this time are displayed and output, and if necessary, output processing is performed, for example, sound is reported from the speaker 109 (step S106). The process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the recognition is impossible (step S105: No), the control unit 116 executes “alternative notification processing” for notifying the user by using the peripheral device 400 alternatively (step S200). . This “substitution notification process” will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the process is started, the control unit 116 controls the short-range wireless unit 113 to search for a peripheral device 400 that can communicate with the mobile communication terminal 100 around the mobile communication terminal 100 (step S201). Here, the peripheral device 400 capable of communication is searched for by performing an operation in accordance with a protocol for link establishment and connection control defined in accordance with the employed communication method.

  Here, when the peripheral device 400 capable of communication is not in the vicinity of the mobile communication terminal 100 (step S202: No), the process is terminated, and the flow returns to the “information notification process” (FIG. 4). In this case, since there is no method for notifying the user of the received information at the present time, the “information notification processing” is also terminated as it is, and for example, notification is attempted again when the next information is received.

  On the other hand, when the peripheral device 400 that can communicate with the mobile communication terminal 100 is present around the mobile communication terminal 100 (step S202: Yes), the control unit 116 uses the peripheral device 400 to update the distribution information. To the user (update notification). In this case, the control unit 116 determines whether or not update notification can be performed step by step in the searched peripheral device 400 (step S203).

  That is, in the “substitution notification process”, the user is notified that the desired information (stock price information, etc.) has been updated by using the peripheral device 400 instead of the mobile communication terminal 100 in the unrecognizable state. Here, since the mobile communication terminal 100 is in a non-recognizable state, a state in which the user cannot use the mobile communication terminal 100 (for example, when moving or during a meeting) can be considered. It is desirable that the notification using 400 is also performed in a method that is as inconspicuous as possible.

  In this case, for example, notification is made from a device with a small output scale (for example, a portable audio player or a device with a small display screen), and if the user cannot recognize, the device gradually increases in output scale. Select devices in stages to give notifications.

  In this way, when there are a plurality of (a plurality of types) of peripheral devices 400 that can communicate with the mobile communication terminal 100, or even the same peripheral device 400 can perform stepwise output (for example, output that gradually changes the volume and display state). (Step S203: Yes), the control unit 116 ranks the stage outputs (step S204). Here, ranking is made according to the type, output scale, screen size, volume, etc. of the searched peripheral device 400.

  That is, in the ranking in step S204, the order to be used (selected peripheral device 400 or output level (volume etc.)) is determined, and 1 to n (n = number of peripheral devices 400 that can communicate or The number of output level stages) is assigned.

  In this case, the control unit 116 sets an initial value “1” to the pointer P that designates the order (step S205), and controls the short-range wireless unit 113 to set the Pth order ( Information (hereinafter referred to as “update notification information”) notifying that the information has been updated is transmitted to the corresponding peripheral device 400 at the corresponding peripheral device 400 or output level (step S206).

  Here, the update notification information transmitted to the peripheral device 400 includes, for example, that the distribution information desired by the user (for example, stock price information) has been updated, that the mobile communication terminal 100 has received the update information, It is assumed that the information is character information or voice information. Therefore, if the user recognizes such update notification information, the mobile communication terminal 100 is operated to perform an operation for confirming the update information (hereinafter referred to as “confirmation operation”).

  The control unit 116 starts timing from the time when the update notification information is transmitted to the peripheral device 400, and determines whether or not a confirmation operation has been performed within a predetermined elapsed time based on an input signal from the operation unit 108 or the like. (Step S207).

  Here, if the confirmation operation is not performed within the predetermined time (step S207: Yes), the control unit 116 determines that the output is not recognized by the user by the output based on the setting of the P-th order. Is set (step S208), and if this order is within n, which is the total number of rankings (step S209: No), the processing after step S206 is performed and the next order is designated. Update notification in settings.

  As described above, if the user does not recognize the update notification using the peripheral device 400, the order of ranking performed in step S204 is gradually shifted to perform stepwise output. In this process, when the user recognizes the update notification and a confirmation operation is performed (step S207: No), the process is terminated at that time.

  Also, if the user does not recognize the output scale in stages (Step S209: Yes), the process is also terminated. In this case, for example, a notification regarding the next update information reception is attempted.

  On the other hand, for example, when the searched peripheral device 400 is one type and the step-by-step output level cannot be changed, such as when the step-by-step output level cannot be changed (step S203: No), the control unit 116 Then, the update notification information is transmitted to the searched peripheral device 400 by controlling the short-range wireless unit 113 (step S210).

  Similarly, in this case, the control unit 116 counts the elapsed time from the transmission time point, and if there is no confirmation operation within a predetermined time (step S211: Yes), the same within the range of the specified number of retransmissions. The update notification information is repeatedly transmitted to the peripheral device 400 (step S212: No, step S210).

  If there is a confirmation operation within a predetermined time after transmitting the update notification information (step S211: No), the process is terminated at that time. Also, when the number of retransmissions exceeds the specified number (step S212: Yes), the process is terminated at that time. In this case, for example, a notification regarding the next update information reception is attempted.

  By the above processing, when the user cannot recognize information output from the mobile communication terminal 100, for example, when the mobile communication terminal 100 is stored in a bag, the mobile communication terminal 100 is A certain peripheral device 400 can be used to notify the user of information acquisition at the mobile communication terminal 100.

  In the above processing, the rankings related to the peripheral devices 400 used for the update notification are performed. However, the setting of the output related to the update notification is arbitrary, and is not limited to the above-described example.

  For example, the update notification may be performed by combining a plurality of peripheral devices 400 based on the type of the searched peripheral device 400. For example, when a portable audio player that does not have a display screen and a projector that does not have a voice output function can communicate with the portable communication terminal 100, the portable audio player outputs voice update notification information, and the projector outputs character information. The update notification information may be output in combination.

  The output method may be arbitrarily set by the user. In this case, for example, if a voice update notification is desired, the peripheral device 400 having a voice output function may be searched.

  In the above processing, whether or not the received information is update information or whether or not it is notification target information is determined, but is it possible to recognize without performing these determinations? It may be determined whether or not.

  Further, the update notification information may be simply transmitted to the searched peripheral device 400 without performing the process related to the stepwise output.

  As described above, by applying the present invention as described in the above embodiment, it is possible to achieve efficient information acquisition.

  The said embodiment is an example and the application range of this invention is not restricted to this. That is, various applications are possible, and all embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention.

  For example, the peripheral device 400 shown in the above embodiment is an example, and various electronic devices can be used as long as they can communicate with the mobile communication terminal 100 and can output information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 100. Can be employed as the peripheral device 400. Further, the communication method between the peripheral device 400 and the mobile communication terminal 100 is also arbitrary.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the information server 200 delivered the information according to the request | requirement from the mobile communication terminal 100, the method by which the mobile communication terminal 100 acquires information is arbitrary, In the example mentioned above It is not limited. For example, the information server 200 may perform push delivery. In this case, the “information notification process” (FIG. 4) may be started when the mobile communication terminal 100 receives the push delivered information.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the mobile communication terminal 100 implement | achieved by the mobile telephone terminal was illustrated, the information delivered via a communication network is acquired, The notification concerning the said acquisition is notified to an external device (peripheral device 400). Any electronic device (for example, a personal computer or a PDA) can be used as the mobile communication terminal 100 as long as it can be performed.

  Moreover, the portable communication terminal according to the present invention is applied not only to the portable communication terminal having the configuration according to the present invention in advance, but also to a computer that controls an electronic device applicable as the portable communication terminal according to the present invention.
