[Outline of communication system]
First, the outline of the communication system S according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The communication system S includes a mobile terminal 1 and a CS terminal 10 that is a computer used by an operator of a call center (hereinafter referred to as CS). The mobile terminal 1 and the CS terminal 10 are connected to each other via a communication line such as a mobile phone network or the Internet.

  The mobile terminal 1 is, for example, a smartphone or a tablet. The CS terminal 10 has at least a function of making a call with the mobile terminal 1 and a function of transmitting a DTMF signal to the mobile phone in a call. When the operator of the CS terminal 80 receives an inquiry from the user of the mobile terminal 1, the CS terminal 80 uses the CS terminal 80 to transmit a change auxiliary signal composed of a DTMF signal to the mobile terminal 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the user of the mobile terminal 1 does not know how to set the operation mode of the mobile terminal 1, the user makes a call to the CS and inquires about the setting method. The CS operator checks the setting method desired by the user and provides information to the user. Specifically, the CS operator transmits a change auxiliary signal configured by a DTMF signal to the mobile terminal 1 during a call. When the mobile terminal 1 receives the change assist signal, the mobile terminal 1 displays an explanation image for assisting the setting change operation by the user. The explanatory image is an image that includes a description of a setting method when setting the operation of the mobile terminal 1 using any one of a plurality of menus displayed on the display unit 7.

[Configuration of mobile terminal 1]
Next, the functional configuration of the mobile terminal 1 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the mobile terminal 1.
As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 1 includes a control unit 2, an input unit 3, a communication unit 4, a speaker 5, a microphone 6, a display unit 7, and a storage unit 8. The

The input unit 3 is an operation receiving unit configured by, for example, a button, a contact sensor provided so as to overlap the display unit 7, and the like. The input unit 3 accepts an operation for selecting, for example, information displayed on the display unit 7 from the user of the mobile terminal 1.
The communication unit 4 performs wireless communication with the base station. That is, the communication unit 4 modulates the signal output from the control unit 2 to generate an RF (Radio Frequency) signal, and wirelessly transmits the RF signal to the base station via an antenna (not shown). In addition, the communication unit 4 demodulates the RF signal received via the antenna and outputs the demodulated signal to the control unit 2.

  The speaker 5 outputs sound. The speaker 5 outputs the sound of the DTMF signal included in the change auxiliary signal transmitted from the CS terminal 10, for example. The microphone 6 receives sound input and outputs the input sound to the control unit 2. For example, the microphone 6 receives a sound of a DTMF signal output from the speaker 5.

  The display part 7 is comprised by a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, etc., for example. The display unit 7 displays characters, figures, and the like according to the control of the control unit 2.

  The storage unit 8 is configured by, for example, a ROM and a RAM, and stores various data such as an application program for displaying an explanation screen on the mobile terminal 1 and an explanation image displayed on the display unit 7.

  FIG. 3 is a table showing the relationship between the change auxiliary signal stored in the storage unit 8 and the set content. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the storage unit 8 stores operation definition information and setting contents in association with the change auxiliary signal.

  The operation definition information is information that defines an operation for assisting a change in operation mode setting of the mobile terminal 1. For example, the operation definition information “Z01A” corresponding to the change auxiliary signal “# 222” is necessary for assisting the data roaming setting, that is, the setting change for roaming data in order to use the mobile terminal 1 overseas. The operation contents including the display order of various explanatory images are defined.

  In addition, the content of the operation | movement required in order to assist a setting change may differ for every model of the portable terminal 1. FIG. The size of the explanation image that can be displayed varies depending on the screen resolution of the display unit 7, that is, the total number of pixels. For example, the position where the menu including the name of the item to be set is displayed differs depending on the model or screen resolution, or the wording of the name is different. Therefore, it is preferable to optimize the display position of the explanatory image and the text of the explanatory text in the explanatory image for each model or screen resolution. Therefore, the operation definition information may be stored in association with the change auxiliary signal and the mobile phone model. Referring to FIG. 4A, even with the same change assist signal “# 222”, the model “ABC11” is associated with the action definition information “Z01A”, and the model “DEF22” is associated with the action definition information “Z01B”. It is attached.

  The control unit 2 is configured by, for example, a CPU, and executes a program stored in the storage unit 8, thereby detecting the detection unit 21, the determination unit 22, the extraction unit 23, the acquisition unit 24, the display control unit 25, and the setting change. It functions as the unit 26.

  The detection unit 21 detects outgoing / incoming calls of the mobile terminal 1. The determination unit 22 determines whether the detected outgoing / incoming call is an outgoing call corresponding to a specific telephone number or an incoming call from a specific telephone number. The specific telephone number is, for example, a CS telephone number. That is, the detection unit 21 and the determination unit 22 monitor whether or not the incoming / outgoing call of the mobile terminal 1 is for the CS.

  The extraction unit 23 starts extracting the DTMF signal from the sound signal during the call on condition that the determination unit 22 determines that the call is for a specific phone number or an incoming call from the specific phone number. . The extraction unit 23 extracts a DTMF signal when the sound signal during a call includes a DTMF signal. When the extraction unit 23 detects a change auxiliary signal that is a DTMF signal group composed of a plurality of DTMF signals, the extraction unit 23 refers to the table stored in the storage unit 8 and identifies the setting content corresponding to the change auxiliary signal.

  In the present embodiment, each change auxiliary signal is a DTMF signal group starting from a specific DTMF signal (for example, #). The DTMF signal is a composite signal of two sound frequency bands of a low group and a high group, and has 16 kinds of codes including numbers from 0 to 9 and symbols of *, #, A, B, C, and D. This is a composite signal.

  In the present embodiment, the extraction unit 23 outputs DTMF signals corresponding to 12 types of codes excluding A, B, C, and D, which are rarely used for a telephone button among 16 types of codes corresponding to the DTMF signal. Extract. At this time, since the change auxiliary signal starts from a specific DTMF signal (for example, #), the extraction unit 23 first executes a process of extracting only the specific DTMF signal, and then Extraction of DTMF signals corresponding to the other 11 types of codes may be started on condition that a specific DTMF signal is extracted. Thereby, since the CPU usage rate of the portable terminal 1 is reduced, power consumption can be suppressed.

  The timing at which the extraction unit 23 ends the extraction of the DTMF signal is arbitrary. For example, the extraction of the DTMF signal may be terminated at the timing when the call with the CS is terminated, or may be terminated at other timing. Also good. For example, the extraction unit 23 may end the extraction of the DTMF signal from the sound signal on the condition that the DTMF signal corresponding to the action definition information, that is, the change auxiliary signal is extracted.

  In addition, the extraction unit 23 extracts a sound signal from a sound signal on the condition that a predetermined time elapses after a predetermined number of DTMF signals are extracted from a plurality of DTMF signals included in the DTMF signal group corresponding to the operation definition information. The extraction of the DTMF signal may be terminated. Considering that the change auxiliary signal starts from a specific DTMF signal (for example, #), the extraction unit 23, for example, for the entire length necessary to form the change auxiliary signal after the specific DTMF signal is extracted. The extraction of the DTMF signal may be terminated on the condition that time elapses.

  The acquisition unit 24 acquires a description image corresponding to the change auxiliary signal configured from the extracted DTMF signal and position information indicating a position where the description image is displayed. That is, when the extracted DTMF signal matches the change auxiliary signal, the acquisition unit 24 acquires operation definition information corresponding to the change auxiliary signal, and acquires an explanation image for the setting item defined by the operation definition information. . In addition, the acquisition unit 24 acquires position information indicating a position on a screen on which a menu corresponding to the setting method described by the description image is displayed. The position information is, for example, coordinates on the display unit 7 where the menu is displayed. The acquisition unit 24 may acquire the description image and the position information suitable for the model of the mobile terminal 1 or the screen resolution with reference to the model information of the mobile terminal 1.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing coordinates on the display unit 7. The display unit 7 includes, for example, 640 pixels in the X direction and 960 pixels in the Y direction. The upper left coordinate is (0, 0), the upper right coordinate is (640, 0), and the lower left coordinate is ( 0,960), and the lower right coordinates are represented as (640,960).

  FIG. 5 is a table in which the description image and the position information are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 8. The storage unit 8 may store a different table for each model in association with the model of the mobile terminal 1.

  For example, in order for the user of the mobile terminal 1 to perform “data roaming setting”, “network setting” is selected from a plurality of menus displayed on the “setting” screen, and “data roaming setting” is selected on the “network setting” screen. And a predetermined operation needs to be performed on the “data roaming setting” screen. In this case, the storage unit 8 includes an operation definition information including an operation procedure until the data roaming setting is performed, and an explanation image for specifying an explanation image to be displayed on each screen that requires an operation until the data roaming setting is performed. The ID and the coordinates indicating the position where the explanation image is displayed are stored in association with each other. Depending on the configuration of the screen for displaying each explanation image, the preferred position for displaying the explanation image is different, so the coordinates corresponding to each explanation image ID in FIG. 5 are different. In addition, the coordinate in FIG. 5 is a coordinate of the predetermined position of an explanatory image, for example.

  The display control unit 25 causes the display unit 7 to display a menu screen including a plurality of menus for setting the operation mode. The setting change unit 26 changes the setting of the mobile terminal 1 based on a user operation received by the input unit 3 while the menu screen is displayed on the display unit 7.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a screen that transitions until data roaming is set. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a menu screen 71 including a menu for setting various operation modes. The acquisition unit 24 reads from the storage unit 8 an explanation image and position information corresponding to the change auxiliary signal received from the CS terminal 10 before displaying the menu screen 71 or in a state where the menu screen 71 is displayed.

  The display control unit 25 causes the display unit 7 to display an explanation image based on the position information read by the acquisition unit 24. At this time, the display control unit 25 displays the explanation image at a position that does not overlap with a predetermined area of the menu corresponding to the setting method explained by the explanation image. The predetermined area is, for example, an area in which the wording shown in the explanation image is displayed. The display control unit 25 preferably displays the explanation image at a position that does not overlap the entire menu including the wording shown in the explanation image.

  For example, when the change auxiliary signal transmitted from the CS terminal 10 is # 111 corresponding to the data roaming setting, the display control unit 25 first reads the description image with the description image ID 111-01 from the storage unit 8. The explanation image is displayed so that a predetermined position (for example, the upper left position) of the explanation image becomes the coordinates (100, 150).

FIG. 6B shows a state in which the explanation image A with ID 111-01 is displayed on the menu screen 71. In the explanation image A, it is shown that it is necessary to press “network setting” among a plurality of menus displayed on the menu screen 71. In this case, the display control unit 25 causes the explanation image A to be displayed at a position where the explanation image A does not cover the menu that explains the setting method, that is, a position that does not overlap the position where the menu “network setting” is displayed. In this way, the user of the mobile terminal 1 can press the menu “network setting” while viewing the explanation image A.
In FIG. 6B, the menu at the position overlapping the explanation image cannot be visually recognized, but the display control unit 25 has a predetermined transparency so that the menu overlapping the explanation image can be seen to some extent. An image may be displayed.

  When the input unit 3 accepts an operation of “network setting” that is a menu corresponding to the setting method described by the explanation image A, the display control unit 25 displays the explanation image A displayed on the display unit 7 as another explanation image. Switch to B. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 6C, the display control unit 25 displays the menu screen 72 of “network setting” and the description image B of ID 111-02. In the explanation image B, it is indicated that it is necessary to press “data roaming setting” among a plurality of menus displayed on the menu screen 72.

  When the menu to be displayed on the display unit 7 is switched, the display control unit 25 changes the position at which the description image is displayed based on the position information on which the menu after switching is displayed. That is, when switching from the menu screen 71 to the menu screen 72, the display control unit 25 switches from the description image A to the description image B, and sets the display position of the description image B to a position different from the display position of the description image A. . In FIG. 6C, the explanation image B is displayed at a position where the menu “data roaming setting” which explains the setting method is not hidden. Similarly, when “Data roaming setting” is pressed on the screen of FIG. 6C, the screen shifts to the menu screen 73 of FIG. 6D, and the display control unit 25 performs PRL (Preferred Roaming List) setting. The explanatory image C is displayed at a position that does not overlap the menu.

  The display control unit 25 may display an explanation image indicating that the operation is wrong when the input unit 3 receives a user operation for selecting a menu other than the menu explained in the explanation image. Good. In this case, the display control unit 25 may display an explanation image so as to hide menus other than the menu to be operated in order to prevent a user's operation mistake.

  Further, the display control unit 25 may switch the menu displayed on the display unit 7 to another menu when the input unit 3 accepts a user operation in the area of the explanation image A. For example, when the user touches the explanation image A, the display control unit 25 determines that “network setting” described in the explanation image A is selected even if the user does not press the menu “network setting”. Then, the description screen B corresponding to the menu screen 72 displayed after the switching may be displayed together with the switching to the network setting menu screen 72.

  Further, the display control unit 25 may display an explanation image corresponding to the model acquired by the acquisition unit 24 on the display unit 7. Specifically, the display control unit 25 causes the display unit 7 to display an explanatory image including the wording selected based on the model of the mobile terminal 1 displaying the menu or the screen resolution of the display unit 7. That is, the display control unit 25 selects and displays an explanation image including the wording of the menu displayed on the mobile terminal 1 from among a plurality of explanation images related to equivalent functions. The display control unit 25 may display the explanation image selected based on the model at the position selected based on the model of the mobile terminal 1.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a menu screen of a model (DEF22) different from the model (ABC11) shown in FIG. For example, in the model DEF22, it is assumed that the menu screen 74 has a menu “overseas setting” and the user needs to select the “overseas setting” menu when performing roaming settings. In this case, the display control unit 25 displays the description image D having a different wording from the description image A illustrated in FIG. 6B at a position different from the position where the description image A is displayed.

Various variations can be considered as the explanation image displayed by the display control unit 25.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the display unit 7 on which the menu screen 75 and the explanation image E are displayed. The display control unit 25 displays the explanation image E at a position that does not overlap the wording of the menu so as to overlap with a partial area of the menu “sound setting” corresponding to the change auxiliary signal. As described above, the display control unit 25 displays the explanatory image in the vicinity of the menu to be operated by the user and prevents the wording of the menu from being hidden, thereby improving the operability for the user.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the display unit 7 on which the menu screen 75 and the explanation images F and G are displayed. As illustrated in FIG. 9, the display control unit 25 may display a plurality of explanation images corresponding to the change auxiliary signal at positions where the respective explanation images do not overlap with the menu related to the setting content corresponding to the change auxiliary signal. Good. Such a display method is particularly effective when the display position of the menu corresponding to the change auxiliary signal is near the center of the display unit 7.

  When the display position of the menu corresponding to the change auxiliary signal is near the center, or there are many contents to be described in the explanation image, and most of the menu corresponding to the change auxiliary signal is hidden, the display control unit 25 explains. The display mode of the menu may be changed in synchronization with the timing for displaying the image. For example, the display control unit 25 displays the menu corresponding to the change auxiliary signal in the vicinity of any one of the four corners of the display unit 7 so that the user can change the menu while the explanation image is displayed. The menu corresponding to the auxiliary signal can be operated.

In addition, when the user performs an operation of scrolling the menu screen, the display control unit 25 may switch the display position or display mode of the explanation image in accordance with the display position of the menu screen after scrolling.
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing menu screens and explanatory images before and after scrolling. FIG. 10A shows a state where the menu screen 71 and the explanation image A shown in FIG. 6B are displayed. FIG. 10B shows a state in which the user scrolls the menu screen 71 and the menu screen 76 is displayed. In the state of FIG. 10B, the display control unit 25 changes the description image H, which is different in size and display content from the description image A before scrolling, to the description image A in accordance with the state of the menu screen 76 after scrolling. They are displayed at different positions. Thus, even if the display position of the menu screen is switched, the operability can be maintained by the display control unit 25 switching the position and mode of the explanation image according to the scroll of the menu screen. .

[Operation sequence]
Next, an operation sequence when the mobile terminal 1 displays an explanation image will be described.
FIG. 11 is an operation sequence of a control operation for displaying an explanation image and a control operation for changing a setting. In the mobile terminal 1, for example, the control unit 2 executes the first program incorporated when the mobile terminal 1 is shipped, so that the setting change control operation is performed, and the mobile terminal 1 is shipped. After that, the explanatory image display control operation is performed by executing the second program downloaded from the server. The second program is a program created in a language different from that of the first program, for example, a program described in HTML5. As shown in FIG. 11, the mobile terminal 1 is added to the mobile terminal 1 by changing the first program and the second program as appropriate, and changing the settings of the mobile terminal 1. The display operation of the explanation image can be linked.

Hereinafter, the operation sequence will be described with reference to FIG.
