The display unit 18 uses high-definition liquid crystal or organic EL, and displays a standby image, character information, and the like.

  The RTC (real-time clock module) 19 constitutes a clock unit, and the CPU 11 acquires the current date and time from the RTC 19. The notification unit 20 includes a sound speaker, an LED (light emitting diode), and a vibration motor. The notification unit 20 is driven when a call is received or when a mail is received to notify an incoming call, and is also driven when an alarm is notified. The style detection sensor (style detection unit) 21 detects a connected state (for example, an open / closed state) of two housings constituting the apparatus main body, and the CPU 11 detects each connection based on a detection signal from the style detection sensor 21. A change in the connection state of the casing (change in the style of the apparatus main body) is discriminated.

FIG. 3 is an external view of the mobile phone device 1.
The cellular phone device 1 includes an operation unit housing 1A and a display unit housing 1B that constitute the device main body, and a hinge unit 1C that folds the display unit housing 1B and connects the operation unit housing 1A so as to be freely opened and closed.

The operation unit housing 1A is provided with an operation unit 17 inside thereof, and the display unit housing 1B is provided with a display unit 18 inside thereof. FIG. 3A shows a closed style in which the display unit housing 1B is folded and closed with respect to the operation unit housing 1A. In this closed style, the display unit 18 is closed. FIG. 3B shows an open style in which the display unit housing 1B is opened with respect to the operation unit housing 1A. In this open style, the contents of the display unit 18 can be read.

  After receiving the mail, the CPU 11 determines the current style based on the detection signal from the style detection sensor 21, creates a mail (reply mail) according to the current style, and creates a specific partner (the mail sender). ). For example, if a change is made from the open style to the closed style immediately after receiving an email, a reply email with the content indicating that the reply to the received email is temporarily suspended can be created and sent to the email sender. If the message remains in the closed style even after receiving the email, create a reply email with the content indicating that the email content is left unconfirmed and send it to the email sender, or reply after receiving the email When the key is operated, a reply mail indicating that there is a will to reply to the received mail is created and transmitted to the mail transmission source.

  In addition, when automatically creating and sending a reply mail as described above, an optimal fixed sentence is selected from a large number of mail sentences (standard sentences) prepared in advance, and this fixed sentence is used. Create reply emails. As this e-mail text (canonical text), for example, "Please note that the reply is temporarily suspended. Please understand." "E-mail is not in a situation that can be confirmed. "Please understand that the contents of the e-mail will be confirmed later for convenience.", "We are currently creating a reply e-mail. Has been.

  Next, the operation concept of the mobile phone device 1 in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. In addition, the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via the transmission medium can be sequentially executed. That is, in addition to the recording medium, an operation specific to this embodiment can be executed using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

  4 to 7 are flowcharts showing an outline of the operation of the characteristic part of the present embodiment in the entire operation of the mobile phone device. When the flow of FIGS. Returning to the operation flow (not shown).

  4 and 5 are flowcharts showing a mail reception process that is started when a mail is received via the wireless communication unit 15.

  First, when receiving a mail, the CPU 11 stores and stores the mail in a reception folder (not shown), and after driving the notification unit 20 to notify the reception of the mail (step A1), the CPU 11 accesses the style detection sensor 21. Then, it is determined whether the current style is a closed style in which the display unit 18 is closed (step A2).

  If it is the closed style (YES in step A2), whether the casing open operation has been performed, that is, whether the change operation from the closed style to the open style has been performed with reference to the detection signal from the style detection sensor 21. If the closed style is maintained (NO in step A3), it is checked whether a predetermined time (for example, 15 minutes) has elapsed since the mail was received (step A4). That is, in step A1 described above, notification of mail reception is performed, and an operation of a timer (not shown) that measures the predetermined time is started. In this state, it is checked whether the time in the closed style after receiving the mail exceeds the above-mentioned predetermined time, in other words, whether the received mail is left unchecked (unopened) for a predetermined time.

  If the predetermined time has passed in the closed style (YES in step A4), the mail address of the sender is acquired from the received mail, and the mail contents are left unconfirmed to this mail address. A reply mail (unconfirmed mail) having the contents shown is created and transmitted (step A5). For example, if you are sleeping when you receive an e-mail, or if you are not aware of the e-mail reception because you are left unattended, you will not be able to check the received e-mail. Create a reply e-mail with content indicating that it is left as it is and send it automatically.

  In this way, when the reply mail is automatically transmitted, if the current reply mail is successfully transmitted (YES in step A6), the mail reception process of FIGS. 4 and 5 is terminated, but when the mail transmission fails ( NO in step A6) After one minute has passed, the same reply mail is retransmitted (step A7), and it is checked whether the retransmission is successful (step A6). In this case, even if the retransmission is performed three times in succession, if the transmission fails, the mail reception process in FIGS. 4 and 5 may be terminated after notifying that effect. Note that the number of tries in this case is arbitrary, and may be two times or four times or more, for example.

  On the other hand, when the mail is received and the display unit 18 is in an open style (NO in step A2), a message requesting that the received mail should be opened is displayed (step A8). If the opening operation for instructing to open the mail is not performed (NO in step A9), the process proceeds to step A13. However, when the opening operation is performed (YES in step A9), the received mail is read and After opening the contents (step A10), the mail contents are displayed in detail (step A11). Then, a reply mail (confirmation mail) indicating that the confirmation of the received mail has been started is created and transmitted (step A12). It should be noted that even in the automatic reply in this case, similar to the case of the automatic reply described above, the operation of resending in response to the mail transmission failure is repeated. Thereafter, the CPU 11 refers to the detection signal from the style detection sensor 21 to check whether a change operation from the open style to the closed style (case closing operation) has been performed (step A13), or some key operation is performed. (Step A14).

  If the open style is changed to the closed style after receiving the mail (YES in step A13), it is checked whether a reply is not made to the received mail, that is, whether the mail has not been replied (step A15). . If the above confirmation mail has already been replied (NO in step A15), the mail receiving process in FIGS. 4 and 5 is terminated. If the mail has not been replied (YES in step A15), the received mail is The mail address of the transmission source is acquired, and a reply mail (mail to be replied later) indicating that the reply to the received mail is temporarily suspended is created and transmitted to the mail address (step A16). . For example, if you know that you have received an email, but you cannot reply immediately for some reason, or if you want to reply after confirming the details of the email in detail later, Create a reply e-mail with the content indicating that it will be put on hold and send it automatically. Note that even in the automatic reply in this case, as in the case of the automatic reply described above, the operation of re-sending in response to the failure of the mail transmission is repeated.

  Further, when any key operation is performed in the state where the content of the received mail is displayed in detail (YES in step A14), the flow of FIG. 5 is checked, and it is checked whether the end key for ending the mail reception process is operated. Or (step A17), it is checked whether a reply key for instructing transmission of a reply mail has been operated (step A21). Now, when a key other than the end key operation or the reply key operation is operated (NO in step A21), for example, after the received mail is deleted (step A30) as processing corresponding to the operation key, FIG. Returning to step A13 of FIG. 4, when the end key is operated (YES in step A17), a feeling selection menu for selecting the user's intention for the received mail is displayed (step A18).

  FIG. 8 shows a feeling selection menu screen. This menu screen includes items “1: OK”, “2: Thanks”, “3: Confirm later”, and “4: Reply later”. The user selects a desired item by key operation from the feeling selection menu screen. Here, “1: OK” indicates an item selected when confirming the content of the received mail and notifying the user of the approval. “2: Thanks” indicates items that are selected when the user confirms the content of the received mail and informs that he / she is grateful. “3: Confirm later” temporarily holds the confirmation of the content of the received mail. “4: Reply later” indicates an item selected when a reply to the received mail is temporarily suspended.

  When a desired item is selected from the feeling selection menu by a key operation, that is, an intention selection operation (feeling key operation) is performed to select an arbitrary item from the feeling selection menu screen according to the user's intention. If this is the case (YES in step A19), the mail address of the sender is obtained from the received mail, and a reply mail (a feeling mail corresponding to the operation key) is sent to the mail address to convey the contents corresponding to the selected item. Transmit (step A20). For example, if the item “1: OK” is selected, a feeling mail including a message indicating that the message has been approved is created, and if the item “2: Thank” is selected, the user is grateful. Create a reply message with a message and reply. It should be noted that even in the automatic reply in this case, as in the case of the automatic reply described above, the operation of resending in response to a failure in mail transmission is repeated.

  When the reply key for instructing transmission of the reply mail is operated (YES in step A21), the reply mail creation screen is displayed (step A22), and the mail address of the sender is selected from the received mail. Obtain and send a reply e-mail with content indicating that there is an intention to reply to this e-mail address (step A23). For example, a reply mail creation screen is opened and a reply mail having a content indicating that creation of the reply mail has been started is created and transmitted. Note that even in the automatic reply in this case, as in the case of the automatic reply described above, the operation of re-sending in response to the failure of the mail transmission is repeated. Thereafter, after a reply mail creation process is performed (step A24), the created mail is transmitted in response to the mail transmission operation (YES in step A25) (step A26). Thereafter, the process returns to step A13 in FIG.

  When an interruption operation for instructing the interruption of the reply mail is performed (YES in step A27), the contents of the mail created up to the middle are set in a transmission tray (not shown) and temporarily stored (step A28). ) A reply mail (interrupt mail) indicating that the creation of the reply mail has been temporarily suspended is created and transmitted (step A29). It should be noted that even in the automatic reply in this case, similar to the case of the automatic reply described above, the operation of resending in response to the mail transmission failure is repeated. Thereafter, the process returns to step A13 in FIG.

6 and 7 are flowcharts that are started when a mail button for instructing activation of a mail application is operated.
First, after displaying a menu screen for mail processing (step B1), the CPU 11 discriminates the selection item when an arbitrary processing item is selected from the menu screen by a key operation. If the menu item related to the mail folder is selected (YES in step B2), if the selected item is “Receiving folder” (YES in step B3), the contents of the receiving folder are read and displayed in a list. (Step B4).

  When a desired mail is selected from the received mail list screen by key operation (step B5), the contents of the mail are displayed in detail (step B6), and the contents indicating that confirmation of the received mail is started Is created and sent (step B7). It should be noted that even in the automatic reply in this case, similar to the case of the automatic reply described above, the operation of resending in response to the mail transmission failure is repeated. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the next step B8 to check whether any key operation has been performed.

  If any key operation is performed (YES in step B8), it is checked whether the reply key is operated (step B9) or the end key is operated (step B10), and the end key is operated. If YES in step B10, the mail processing of FIGS. 6 and 7 is terminated, but if the reply key is operated (YES in step B9), a reply mail creation screen is displayed (step B11). Then, mail creation processing is performed (step B12), and after the created mail is transmitted (step B13), the process returns to step B1 described above.

  When a menu item related to the mail folder is selected (YES in step B2), if the selected item is neither “Reception folder” nor “Send tray” (NO in step B14), another folder is selected. An operation process is executed (step B18). When the item “outgoing tray” is selected (YES in step B14), the contents of the mail being created temporarily stored in the sending tray as described above are read (step B15), and this is returned. After being displayed on the mail creation screen (step B16), a reply mail having contents indicating that the mail creation has been resumed is created and transmitted (step B17). It should be noted that even in the automatic reply in this case, similar to the case of the automatic reply described above, the operation of resending in response to the mail transmission failure is repeated. Then, in order to complete the mail in the middle of preparation, it moves to step B12, mail preparation processing is performed, and this preparation mail is transmitted (step B13).

  On the other hand, whether an item other than the menu item related to the mail folder has been selected from the above-mentioned mail menu screen, that is, the item “Create Mail” has been selected (step B19 in FIG. 7), and the end of the mail processing is instructed. It is checked whether or not the “end” item has been selected (step B27). When the “end” item has been selected (YES in step B27), the mail processing in FIGS. 6 and 7 is ended. Further, when the item “Create Mail” is selected (YES in Step B19), the contents of the reception history file or the address book are read and displayed in a list, and then an operation for selecting an arbitrary transmission partner is performed. If this is the case (step B20), it is checked whether the selected partner is the sender of the mail received within a predetermined time (for example, within 5 hours) (step B21).

  If the selected partner selected from the reception history file or the address book is not the sender of the mail received within the predetermined time (NO in step B21), the mail creation screen is displayed (step B24), and the mail creation processing is performed. (Step B25). Then, after sending this created mail (step B26), the process returns to step B1 in FIG. Further, if the above-mentioned selected partner is the sender of the mail received within the predetermined time (YES in step B21), the reply to the received mail has not been made, that is, the mail has not been replied or left. (Step B22).

  If a reply has already been made to the received mail (NO in step B22), the process proceeds to step B24 described above, but if the reply has not been answered (YES in step B22), the received mail is A reply mail having contents indicating the intention to reply is created and transmitted (step B23). It should be noted that even in the automatic reply in this case, similar to the case of the automatic reply described above, the operation of resending in response to the mail transmission failure is repeated. Thereafter, the mail creation screen is displayed (step B24), mail creation processing is performed (step B25), and the created mail is transmitted (step B26).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the style detection sensor 21 determines that the connection state of the plurality of housings 1A and 1B has changed, the CPU 11 sends an e-mail with the content corresponding to the connection state to the specific partner. Therefore, it is possible to transmit a mail having contents that accurately and surely convey the intention of the sender side, and a smooth mail transmission that reduces the burden on the user becomes possible.

  In addition, when the connection state of the plurality of housings 1A and 1B changes after receiving the electronic mail from the wireless communication unit 15, a reply mail having contents corresponding to the connection state is transmitted to the transmission source of the received mail. So, when you send an email, you can reply to the recipient without being aware of it, and the sender can check the status and intention of the recipient. In addition to facilitating mail transmission / reception, it is effective for maintaining mutual trust.

  When the display unit 18 is closed by a closing operation after receiving a mail, a reply mail having a content indicating that a reply to the received mail is temporarily suspended is transmitted. In the case where the reply cannot be made or the reply is made after confirming the details of the mail in detail, it is possible to reliably and easily tell the temporary suspension of the reply by the close operation after the mail is received.

  If the display unit 18 remains closed and no opening operation is performed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the reception of the mail, a reply mail with a content indicating that the received mail content is left unconfirmed is sent. If you are sleeping when receiving an e-mail or leaving your mobile phone device unattended because you are not aware of the e-mail, check the received e-mail without performing any special operations. It is possible to reliably tell that the situation is not possible, or that it has been left unconfirmed.

  When a specific operation is performed after the content of the received mail is displayed, a reply mail with the content corresponding to the specific operation is sent, so the sender of the mail is the recipient of the mail. The recipient can easily send an appropriate reply mail, which facilitates the sending and receiving of mail and is effective in maintaining a trust relationship. It will be something.

  As a specific operation, when a reply key is operated, a reply mail with the content indicating that there is an intention to reply to the received mail is sent. Can immediately tell you that you are willing to reply.

  As a specific operation, if an interruption operation is performed during the creation of a reply email, a reply email with the content indicating that the reply has been temporarily suspended is sent, so there is an intention to reply, but it will be handled immediately It is possible to notify immediately when the creation is interrupted that a situation that cannot be performed has occurred.

  As a specific operation, when a resume operation is performed to instruct to resume the reply mail after it has been interrupted, a reply mail with the content indicating that reply mail creation has been resumed will be sent, so a reply will be sent soon Can be communicated.

  As a specific operation, after a received mail is displayed, if an intention selection operation (feeling key operation) is performed to select an arbitrary intention according to the user's intention from the feeling selection menu, contents indicating the selected intention Since the reply mail is sent, the intention can be accurately communicated only by performing the decision making operation.

  When an open operation is performed as a specific operation in a state where the display unit 18 is closed, a reply mail having a content indicating that confirmation of the content of the received mail is started is transmitted. You can tell immediately that you started.

  As a specific operation, when a new mail creation operation is performed with the sender of the received mail as the other party, a reply mail with the content indicating the intention to reply is sent, so a new mail is created. Can tell you that you will reply soon. Since the other party in this case is the sender of the received mail that has not yet sent the reply mail among the received mails, it is possible to tell the reply to the unanswered partner soon.

  When sending a reply mail, if a transmission failure is detected, the mail is repeatedly sent, so that the reply mail can be sent more reliably.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a connection state (for example, an open / closed state) of two casings constituting the apparatus main body is detected and a reply mail having contents corresponding to the connection state is transmitted, a reply mail is sent. The timing of creation and transmission was not mentioned at the start or end of the case closing operation or case opening operation, but it may be from the start to the end or immediately after the end. May be. That is, a reply mail may be created and transmitted in response to a case closing operation or a case opening operation.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the display unit housing 1B is folded and connected to the operation unit housing 1A in a foldable open / close type mobile phone device is illustrated. The display unit housing 1B is connected to the operation unit housing 1A so that the display unit housing 1B can be folded and opened, and the display unit housing 1B is rotatably connected to the operation unit housing 1A. It may be a mobile phone device.

In the above-described embodiment, the reply mail having the contents corresponding to the connection state of the plurality of housings 1A and 1B is transmitted to the sender of the received mail. However, when the reply mail is automatically transmitted. For example, in the case of a mobile phone device owned by a child, when changing from a closed style to an open style, a new mail is sent to a specific partner, such as sending a contact mail notifying the current position to the parent. The same can be applied to the case of transmitting to the same. Even in this case, mails having different contents can be transmitted according to changes in the style, so that the intention of the sender can be accurately and reliably transmitted.
Other than the mobile phone device, for example, a mobile terminal device such as a PDA, a digital camera, or a music player having an electronic mail transmission / reception function may be used.
