Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic device and an authentication method in the electronic device.

  When a mobile communication terminal capable of network communication via the Web (World Wide Web) or the like starts communication with an application program (hereinafter simply referred to as an application), it uses a blinking display of an animation, an icon, etc. It is made to recognize that it is. The above apps include browser apps, download apps and the like.

  Incidentally, a UIM (User Identity Module) card is an IC card that records contractor information issued by a mobile communication terminal company, and is used to identify a user by inserting it into a mobile communication terminal. The UIM card is expanded from a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) having the same function, and in addition to subscriber information, private information such as a phone book, personal information for credit settlement, etc. is also encrypted and registered. Is possible.

  When the above-mentioned UIM card is not attached to the mobile communication terminal, an application involving communication by the mobile communication terminal cannot be executed. Therefore, it is necessary to display a warning to notify the user of this (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  The browser is an application that performs data communication. When communication occurs, the browser itself displays the above warning. However, the browser has a cache display function that allows data acquired from an external server via the Web to be stored internally (cache memory) and displayed when the data is displayed again without using the server. Yes. For this reason, when the cache display function is used, communication does not occur, and therefore the stored data can be displayed without displaying a warning.

  On the other hand, the download application has a program structure that is activated after the browser application is activated. Therefore, if UIM authentication is performed during communication after activation of the browser application, the download application does not require UIM authentication.

  However, if the download application is activated by selecting a download link or the like while the cache is displayed when the browser application is activated, UIM authentication is not performed when the download application is activated. Download is not performed, and therefore, the download application remains activated, and the download screen may freeze (stop).

  That is, FIG. 9 shows a screen transition example of the mobile communication terminal when the UIM card is not attached, and after the transition to the music download screen (FIG. 9 (g)), a state in which no communication occurs continues as a result. The screen was stopped with 0% download progress. FIG. 8 shows an example of screen transition in the mobile communication terminal when the UIM card is attached.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and performs operations according to various data by a first function execution unit that is activated when an authentication result in the authentication unit satisfies a predetermined condition. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device capable of performing an operation according to predetermined data stored in various data, and an authentication method in the electronic device.

  The electronic device according to the present invention displays a display unit and a Web menu screen on the display unit, and when a menu item on the displayed Web menu screen is selected, an IC card in which contractor information is recorded is mounted If not, the control unit notifies that the IC card is not attached.

  In the notification method in the electronic device having the display unit according to the present invention, when the electronic device displays a Web menu screen on the display unit and a menu item on the displayed Web menu screen is selected, the contractor information is displayed. If the IC card in which is recorded is not attached, it is notified that the IC card is not attached.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail with reference to the operation flowchart of FIG. 2 and the screen transition diagram of FIG.

  First, a standby screen shown in FIG. 5A is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 17 of the mobile communication terminal. Here, it is assumed that the user activates the Web menu by operating the operation unit 20. At that time, the screen displayed on the display unit 17 changes from the standby screen to the Web menu screen (S201). FIG. 5B shows an example of the Web menu screen.

  Subsequently, it is assumed that the user who viewed the Web menu screen operates the operation unit 20 to select and operate the top menu (S202 “Top”). In response to this, the control unit 16 instructs the authentication unit 11 to perform UIM authentication, acquires the result of UIM authentication from the authentication unit 11, and determines (S203). Here, since it is assumed that the UIM card 21 is not attached, the authentication result is not established (S203 “NG”), and the control unit 16 that has acquired the authentication result from the authentication unit 11 displays the display unit 17 on the display unit 17. The UIM warning display (“UIM card error”) shown in FIG. 5C is performed (S204).

  Incidentally, when the authentication result is established, that is, when the UIM card 21 is attached and the user information (identification information) is collated, the control unit 16 activates the browser application to start the first function. The execution unit 12 is operated, Web connection via the communication unit 18 is permitted (S205), and the screen is changed to a screen for displaying the top menu (S206) (see FIG. 8C).

  On the other hand, in step S202, when the user selects and operates the “previous screen display” menu via the operation unit 20 (S202 “previous”), the control unit 16 receiving this activates the browser application and starts the first function. Cache display by the execution unit 12 is permitted (S207).

  At this time, the control unit 16 checks the contents of the cache stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15 (S208), and if it is not a download link page (S208 “No”), controls the display unit 17 to The contents of the cache are displayed (S209). The contents of the cache displayed here are illustrated in FIG. Here, it is referred to as “news screen”.

  Subsequently, the control unit 16 waits for a menu selection by the user (S210), and for example, there is a selection operation via the operation unit 20 such as selecting “Economy” in the menu item of the “News screen”. In the case (S210 “Yes”), the control unit 16 instructs the authentication unit 11 to perform UIM authentication before performing the Web connection via the communication unit 18 according to the selected menu link. The result of UIM authentication is acquired and the content is determined (S211).

  Here, since it is assumed that the UIM card 21 is not attached, the authentication result is not established (S211 “NG”), and the control unit 16 receiving this controls the display unit 17, The UIM warning display shown in FIG. 5E is performed (S213). Incidentally, when the UIM card 21 is installed and authentication is established (S211 “OK”), the browser application is activated and the operation by the first function execution unit, that is, the Web connection via the communication unit 18 is permitted (S212). ).

  In step S208, if the cache content is a DL (download) link page (S208 “Yes”), the control unit 16 controls the display unit 17 to display the DL link page (f) shown in FIG. Here, “music download screen”) is displayed (S214), and a menu selection operation by the user is awaited (S215).

  Subsequently, the control unit 16 selects the menu by the user operating the operation unit 20 (one of the music menus 1 to 3 in the “music download screen” in FIG. 5F), and the authentication unit 11 is instructed to perform UIM authentication, and the result of UIM authentication is acquired from the authentication unit 11 and determined (S217). Here, UIM authentication is established, that is, the result of UIM authentication satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, the collation of identification information recorded on the UIM card is established when the UIM card is attached). (S216 “OK”), the control unit 16 activates the DL application to operate the second function execution unit 13 (S217), and communicates with other communication servers via the communication unit 18. And download the data from the communication server. If the UIM authentication is not established, that is, if the result of the UIM authentication does not satisfy the predetermined condition (S216 “NG”), the display unit 17 is controlled to display the UIM warning display “ “UIM card error” is performed (S218).

  According to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, when the control unit 16 is performing an operation corresponding to the predetermined data stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15 and a predetermined selection operation is performed, the authentication unit 11 is performed, the second function execution unit 13 is activated when the authentication result in the authentication unit 11 satisfies a predetermined condition, and a warning is issued when the predetermined condition is not satisfied. In the state where the cache is displayed and the DL application is activated by selecting a download link, etc., UIM authentication is performed to prevent the screen from freezing and notify the user that the UIM is not installed. can do.

  Conventionally, UIM authentication is performed when the Web menu is activated from the standby screen, and a UIM warning is displayed when UIM authentication is not established. Therefore, a user including an operation that does not cause communication such as a cache display is displayed. Although the operation is limited, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the user can perform the operation according to the data cached in the predetermined data storage unit 15 until the communication is actually generated. The operation restriction range can be reduced.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 3 is an operation flowchart cited to explain the operation of the electronic apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a screen transition diagram showing an example of screen transition when the UIM card is not installed in that case.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic device according to the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail with reference to the operation flowchart of FIG. 3 and the screen transition diagram of FIG.

  First, a standby screen shown in FIG. 6A is displayed on the mobile communication terminal. Here, it is assumed that the user activates the Web menu by operating the operation unit 20. At that time, the screen displayed on the display unit 17 transitions from the standby screen to the Web menu screen (S301). FIG. 6B shows an example of the Web menu screen.

  Subsequently, it is assumed that the user who viewed the Web menu screen operates the operation unit 20 to select and operate the top menu (S302 “Top”). In response to this, the control unit 16 instructs the authentication unit 11 to perform authentication, acquires the result of UIM authentication from the authentication unit 11, and determines (S303).

  Here, since it is assumed that the UIM card 21 is not attached, the authentication result is not established (the predetermined condition is not satisfied) (S303 “NG”), and the authentication result is acquired from the authentication unit 11. The control unit 16 controls the display unit 17 to perform a UIM warning display (“UIM card error”) shown in FIG. 6C (S304). Incidentally, when the authentication result is established (a predetermined condition is satisfied), the control unit 16 activates the browser application to operate the first function execution unit 12 and performs web connection via the communication unit 18. Is permitted (S305), and a screen for displaying the top menu is displayed (S306).

  The above operation is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the user selects and operates the “previous screen display” menu via the operation unit 20 in step S302 (S302 “previous”), the control unit 16 activates the browser application and starts the first function execution unit 12. As a result, display according to the cache data (predetermined data) stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15 is performed. The cache content displayed here is a “news” screen illustrated in FIG.

  Upon receiving this, the control unit 16 instructs the authentication unit 11 to perform authentication before acquiring the cache display, and acquires and determines the result of UIM authentication from the authentication unit 11 (S307).

  Here, when UIM authentication is established (S307 “OK”), the control unit 16 activates the browser application and performs normal cache display by the first function execution unit 12. Thereafter, web connection or the like via the communication unit 18 is performed in accordance with the selection of a menu item on the “news” screen displayed in cache.

  If UIM authentication is not established (the authentication result does not satisfy a predetermined condition) (S307 “NG”), the menu item in the “news” screen displayed in the cache is determined (S309). The controller 16 determines the presence / absence of a cache link and the presence / absence of a DL link in determining the menu item.

  First, the presence / absence of a cache link is determined by determining whether or not there is a menu item that can be cached among the menu items constituting the “news” screen to be cached. Here, for a menu item to which a link for Web connection is given, it is determined whether or not data (specifically, screen data) linked to the menu item is stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15. The In addition, when the data of the link destination is stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15, when the menu item is selected, the data stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15 can be displayed without a web connection. .

  Subsequently, the control unit 16 determines whether or not each menu item included in the “news” screen displayed in cache includes a menu item to which a DL link for performing a download process with the activation of the DL application is attached. Determine.

  Next, based on the determination result in step S309, the control unit 16 determines whether there is a menu item that does not have a cache link that can be cached among the menu items that constitute the “news screen” that is cached. Alternatively, it is determined whether there is a menu item to which a DL link is assigned (S311).

  When all menu items are menu items that can be cache-displayed according to the cache (predetermined data) stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15 with the cache link attached, and are not menu items with the DL link attached In step S313, normal cache display is performed.

  If all the menu items include a menu item that cannot be cached or includes a menu item with a DL link, the process proceeds to step S312 and the normal cache display in step S313 is performed. In order to restrict the menu selection operation (selection operation), for example, as shown by shading in FIG. 6D or FIG. Is displayed in grayscale. When the menu item is displayed in gray scale, the menu item is displayed in gray on the screen, but the selection operation is impossible. If all menu items include menu items that can be cached, the menu items that can be cached are not displayed in grayscale, but are displayed in a normal manner and can be selected. The

  As described above, when the UIM authentication is not established when the cache is displayed according to the contents of the cache stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15, the menu item of the screen displayed in the cache is stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15. Menu items that can be displayed according to other cache data that can be displayed normally and can be selected, and menu items that cannot be displayed according to other cache data or a menu that accompanies DL application activation by giving a DL link By restricting the selection operation so that the selection operation is disabled by displaying the item in grayscale, the menu item accompanied by the start of the Web connection or DL application that requires establishment of UIM authentication is disabled, and the user selects the menu item. Can be displayed even if UIM authentication is not established. Since the menu item can be a selectable cache display, it can improve the usability for the user.

  Note that it is determined whether or not the menu item is a menu item accompanied by a web connection by starting a browser application, and the menu item accompanied by the web connection is displayed in grayscale so that the selection operation cannot be performed and the selection operation is restricted. Good.

  Subsequently, the control unit 16 waits for a menu selection operation by the user (S314). When the menu is selected (S314 “Yes”), the control unit 16 activates the browser and the first function execution unit 12 performs predetermined data. Cache display according to other cache data stored in the storage unit 15 is performed (S315).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6D, when the “news” screen is displayed in a cache, the menu item of the “latest news screen” that can be displayed in a cache and the selection operation is not restricted is selected. FIG. 6E shows a state in which the cache is displayed according to the cache data. In the “news screen” shown in FIG. 6D, for the menus displayed in gray scale (“economy”, “sports”), the linked image data is not stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15, and Web Since the connection is accompanied and the selection operation is restricted by the gray scale display, the selection operation is not performed and the selection operation is not performed.

  In step S302, when the cache content displayed by the selection operation of the “previous screen display” menu is a DL link page, for example, a “music download” screen illustrated in FIG. 6F is displayed. Since the menu item constituting this “music download” screen is a menu item accompanied by a download process when the DL application is activated, the process proceeds to step S312 by the “Yes” determination in step S311 and the menu accompanied by the activation of the DL application. The item is displayed in grayscale, and the selection operation is restricted by disabling the selection operation. Here, since all menu items (“music 1”, “music 2”, “music 3”) on the “music download” screen shown in FIG. The selection operation is restricted by the scale display and the selection operation is restricted.

  According to the second embodiment of the present invention described above, when the control unit 16 displays predetermined data stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15, the authentication unit 11 performs authentication, and the authentication unit 11 performs the authentication. When the authentication result is not established, by restricting the selection operation performed during the cache display by the first function execution unit 12, specifically, in the state where the cache is displayed by the activation of the browser application, the DL application By disabling selection of a menu that requires activation, it is possible to prevent the screen from freezing and notify the user that the UIM is not installed.

  At this time, the user can display a menu item that cannot be cached in accordance with other cache data or a menu item that requires the activation of a DL application with a web connection, such as grayscale display, so that the UIM can be displayed to the user. It can be recognized that it is not attached. By disabling the selection operation, it is not necessary to display a UIM warning (UIM card error) that occurs when the selection operation is possible. For this reason, the load of the 2nd function execution part 13 is reduced.

  In addition, since the frequency of warning display to the user can be reduced, it is possible to reduce a sense of discomfort (annoyance) addressed to the user by the warning display.

  In addition, when the control unit 16 is performing an operation according to predetermined data stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15, the first result is obtained when the authentication result by the authentication unit 11 does not satisfy the predetermined condition. By restricting the selection operation that accompanies the 12 activation of the function execution unit, the user can recognize that UIM authentication is not established (not mounted) by restricting the selection operation.

  Further, when the control unit 16 is executing an operation according to predetermined data stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15, an operation according to other data stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15 is performed. In the case of execution, it is possible to identify a menu capable of executing an operation according to other data by enabling an operation according to other data without depending on the authentication result by the authentication unit 11. Therefore, usability can be improved, duplication of authentication can be avoided, and processing efficiency when the storage capacity of the predetermined data storage unit 15 is large can be improved.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 4 is an operation flowchart cited for explaining the operation of the electronic device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a screen transition diagram showing an example of screen transition when the UIM card is not installed in that case.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4 and the screen transition diagram of FIG.

  First, a standby screen shown in FIG. 7A is displayed on the screen of the mobile communication terminal. Here, it is assumed that the user activates the Web menu by operating the operation unit 20. At that time, the screen displayed on the display unit 17 changes from the standby screen to the Web menu screen (S401). FIG. 7B shows an example of the Web menu screen.

  Subsequently, it is assumed that the user who viewed the Web menu screen operates the operation unit 20 to select and operate the top menu (S402 “Top”). In response to this, the control unit 16 instructs the authentication unit 11 to perform authentication, acquires the result of UIM authentication from the authentication unit 11, and determines (S403).

  Here, since it is assumed that the UIM card 21 is not attached, the authentication result is not established (S403 “NG”), and the control unit 16 that has acquired the authentication result from the authentication unit 11 displays the display unit 17 on the display unit 17. The UIM warning display (“UIM card error”) shown in FIG. 7C is performed (S404). Incidentally, when the authentication result is established, the control unit 16 activates the browser application to operate the first function execution unit 12, permits web connection via the communication unit 18 (S405), and displays the top menu. The screen transitions to the screen to be displayed (S406).

  The above operations are the same as the operations in the first and second embodiments shown in FIGS.

  On the other hand, when the user selects and operates the “previous screen display” menu item via the operation unit 20 in step S402 (S402 “previous”), the control unit 16 activates the browser application and executes the first function execution unit. 12 displays according to the cache data (predetermined data) stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15. The cache content displayed here is a “program news” screen illustrated in FIG. 7D or a “new product news” screen illustrated in FIG.

  Upon receiving this, the control unit 16 instructs the authentication unit 11 to perform authentication before acquiring the cache display, acquires the result of UIM authentication from the authentication unit 11, and determines (S407).

  If UIM authentication is established (S407 “OK”), the control unit 16 activates the browser application and performs normal cache display by the first function execution unit 12 (S412). After that, in accordance with the selection of the menu item in the “program news” screen or “new product news” screen displayed in the cache, the third function such as Web connection via the communication unit 18, TV, radio, mail application, etc. is executed. The operation process of the application accompanied by the activation of the unit 14 is performed.

  If UIM authentication has not been established (authentication result does not satisfy a predetermined condition) (S407 “NG”), determination of menu items in the “program news” screen and “new product news” screen displayed in cache (S408). The control unit 16 determines that the menu items constituting the screen to be displayed in a cache are menu items associated with the activation of the TV application, the radio application, and the mail application (for example, a TV for triggering the third function execution unit 14 to operate. A start button, a radio start button, and an e-mail address).

  Then, in step S409, according to the determination result in step S408, it is determined whether or not the menu item of the screen displayed in the cache includes a menu item accompanied by activation of the TV application, the radio application, or the mail application. If a menu item that accompanies the activation of the TV application, radio application, or mail application is not included (S409 “No”), the process proceeds to step S411, where normal cache display is performed, and each menu item can be selected.

If it is determined in step S409 that the menu item on the screen displayed in the cache includes a menu item associated with activation of the TV application, radio application, or mail application (S409 “Yes”), the TV application, radio application, or mail is displayed. Menu items with application activation (TV activation button, radio activation button, e-mail address serving as a trigger for operating the third function execution unit 14) are displayed in grayscale so that the user cannot perform selection operations. The selection operation is restricted by controlling the display unit 17.

  According to the third embodiment of the present invention described above, when the control unit 16 displays the predetermined data stored in the predetermined data storage unit 15, the UIM authentication is not established due to the UIM card not being installed or the like. By restricting the selection operation that accompanies the operation of the third function execution unit 14, it is possible to recognize problems caused by starting up of TV applications, radio applications, and mail applications when UIM authentication is not established, such as screen freezes. It can be avoided or the troublesomeness of warning to the user accompanying this activation can be reduced.

  In addition, the user can recognize that the UIM is not installed by displaying a button that requires activation of the TV application or the radio application, or an e-mail address displayed on the screen separately from others such as a gray scale display. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately display a UIM warning (UIM card error). For this reason, the load of the 3rd function execution part 14 is reduced.

  2 to 4 also show each step (process) of the authentication method in the electronic device of the present invention. Specifically, each step constitutes the control unit 16. This corresponds to the CPU processing procedure.

  In other words, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device is permitted to start when the authentication unit 11 and the authentication result in the authentication unit 11 satisfy a predetermined condition, and perform operations according to various data. The function execution unit 12, the second function execution unit 13 activated by a predetermined selection operation performed during the operation of various data by the activation of the first function execution unit 12, and the various types operated by the first function execution unit 12.
