Description

Electronic device and message notification control method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an electronic device and a message notification control method, and more particularly, to an electronic device and a message notification control method for notifying a message from a contact object.
Background
With the popularization of various social software, communication between electronic devices having a data communication function, such as smart phones, personal computers, and in-vehicle devices, using social software to send and receive messages has become an indispensable part of daily life. When messaging using social software, not only can messaging be performed with a single contact object, but messaging can also be performed in a group of contact objects that include at least one contact object.
For a group contact object, if the user gives a name to it, the electronic device can inform the name of the group contact object through display or voice so that the user can know which group contact object. However, if the group contact object has not been given a name, the user cannot accurately know information related to the group contact object.
For example, when a message is received from a group contact object that has not been given a name, the user cannot accurately know from which group contact object the message was received. At this time, if the electronic device only reports the name of the contact object in which the message is sent out of the group contact objects, the user cannot know in which group contact object the message is sent out.
In addition, when a contact object to which a message is transmitted among group contact objects and a user are not related to friends, for example, the user cannot grasp information related to the contact object. If the electronic device cannot report the name of the group contact object where the contact object is located to the user, the user cannot grasp the information related to the source of the message at all.
As the use of group contact objects in social software becomes more and more common, the above technical problems in the prior art need to be solved.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above-described problems in the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device and a message notification control method for automatically assigning a representative name to a group contact object to which no name is assigned.
One embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device including: a notification unit configured to notify a message from group contact objects, each group contact object including at least one contact object, the electronic device further including: a judging section that judges whether or not the group contact object has been given a representative name; an extraction unit that, when the determination unit determines that a group contact object to which a representative name is not assigned, extracts specific information related to the group contact object based on information of at least one contact object related to the group contact object and/or a user of the electronic device; and a control unit that controls to use the specific information to generate a representative name of the group contact object to which the representative name is not assigned.
Thus, for a group contact object to which no name is given, specific information is extracted from information of a contact object related to the group contact object and/or information of the user related to the group contact object to generate a representative name of the group contact object, and thus the representative name can be automatically given to the group contact object to which no name is given, and the user can be made aware of information representing the group contact object.
In the above electronic device, when the judgment unit judges that a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, the extraction unit may extract first specific information related to the first group contact object based on at least one contact object related to the first group contact object and/or information of the user, extract second specific information related to the second group contact object based on at least one contact object related to the second group contact object and/or information of the user, and control the control unit to use the first specific information to generate a representative name of the first group contact object and the second specific information to generate a representative name of the second group contact object.
In this way, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, different representative names can be automatically given to the plurality of group contact objects to which the representative names are not given by extracting different specific information for generating the representative names of the respective group contact objects, and the user can easily distinguish the plurality of group contact objects.
In the above electronic device, the extracting unit may extract, as the first specific information, a name of a first contact object included in the first group contact object, and extract, as the second specific information, a name of a second contact object different from the first contact object included in the second group contact object.
Thus, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, by extracting the names of mutually different contact objects included in each group contact object to generate the representative names of each group contact object, it is possible to automatically give different representative names to a plurality of group contact objects to which no representative names are given in a more concise and easily distinguishable manner.
In the above electronic device, the extracting unit may extract a first contact object in a specific contact relationship with the user, which is included in the first group contact object, and use a name of the first contact object in the specific contact relationship as the first specific information, extract a second contact object in the specific contact relationship with the user, which is included in the second group contact object and is different from the first contact object, and use a name of the second contact object in the specific contact relationship as the second specific information.
Thus, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, by extracting the names of the contact objects which are different from each other and have a specific relationship (for example, a friend relationship) with the user included in each group contact object, and generating the representative names of the group contact objects, it is possible to automatically give the representative names which are different from each other and which are more familiar to the user to the plurality of group contact objects to which no representative names are given.
In the above electronic device, the extracting unit may extract a name of the user in the first group contact object and the second group contact object, and when the name of the user in the first group contact object is different from the name of the user in the second group contact object, the extracting unit may extract the name of the user in the first group contact object as the first specific information and extract the name of the user in the second group contact object as the second specific information.
Thus, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, different names (for example, nicknames) of the user in the respective group contact objects are extracted, and thus, the representative names which are different from each other and which are derived from the names set by the user themselves can be automatically given to the plurality of group contact objects to which the names are not given, so that the user can more easily distinguish the plurality of group contact objects based on the names originally set by the user themselves.
In the above electronic device, the extracting unit may extract the first specific information based on history information of a message sent by the user to the first group contact object, and extract the second specific information based on history information of a message sent by the user to the second group contact object.
Thus, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, specific information is extracted from messages that the user has conventionally transmitted to the respective group contact objects, and it is possible to automatically give representative names related to messages input by the user themselves to the plurality of group contact objects to which the names are not given, and to make it possible for the user to more easily distinguish the plurality of group contact objects based on messages that are originally input by the user.
In the above electronic device, the extracting unit may analyze, as the first specific information, an attribute of the first group contact object based on history information of a message sent by the user to the first group contact object, and analyze, as the second specific information, an attribute of the second group contact object different from the attribute of the first group contact object based on history information of a message sent by the user to the second group contact object.
In this way, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, the attribute of each group contact object is extracted as specific information from the message that the user has conventionally sent to each group contact object, and thus, the representative names related to the characteristics of the user in each group contact object can be given automatically to the plurality of group contact objects to which no names are given, and the user can more easily distinguish the plurality of group contact objects based on the characteristics of the user in each group contact object.
The electronic device may further include: and a receiving unit configured to receive, as a destination to which the user transmits the message, a name of a contact object input by the user, wherein the receiving unit receives, as a destination to which the user transmits the message, a group contact object to which the representative name has not been added, the group contact object corresponding to the representative name, when the representative name generated by the control unit is received.
Thus, when the user wishes to send a message to a group contact object to which a representative name is not given, the group contact object can be conveniently and accurately set as a transmission destination based on the representative name generated for the group contact object.
The electronic device may further include: and a receiving unit configured to receive a message from a group contact object, wherein the judging unit judges whether or not a representative name has been given to the group contact object after the receiving unit receives the message from the group contact object and before the notifying unit notifies the message, and wherein the extracting unit extracts specific information related to the group contact object when the judging unit judges that the representative name has not been given to the group contact object, and wherein the control unit controls the notifying unit to use the specific information to generate the representative name of the group contact object and notify the generated representative name when the message is notified.
Therefore, when a message is received from a group contact object not endowed with a representative name, the representative name can be endowed to the group contact object in real time, so that the user can know the group contact object for sending the message when the message is notified to the user, the confusion of the user when the message is received is eliminated, and convenience is improved.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a message notification control method for controlling the notification of messages from group contact objects, each group contact object comprising at least one contact object, the message notification control method being characterized by comprising: a judging step of judging whether or not the group contact object has been given a representative name; an extraction step of extracting specific information related to a group contact object based on at least one contact object related to the group contact object and/or information of the user when the judgment step judges that the group contact object to which the representative name is not given; and a control step of controlling to use the specific information for generating a representative name of the group contact object to which the representative name is not given.
The above-described various aspects of the electronic device according to the present invention can be applied to the message notification control method, the message notification control system, the message notification control program, and the recording medium in which the message notification control program is recorded according to the present invention, and can obtain the corresponding technical effects.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings, embodiments and specific examples. The following description is merely an example for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In a specific embodiment, the components of the apparatus may be changed, deleted or added according to the actual situation, and the steps of the method may be changed, deleted, added or added according to the actual situation.
(first embodiment)
A first embodiment of the present invention is specifically described. First, an electronic device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The electronic device 1 is, for example, an electronic apparatus such as a smart phone, a computer, or an in-vehicle device. Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 1 includes a determination unit 11, an extraction unit 12, a control unit 13, and a notification unit 14, which will be described in detail below.
The notification unit 14 can notify a message from a contact object, for example, by displaying the message on a display such as a liquid crystal or an OLED, playing the message on a speaker, or outputting a display signal or an audio signal to an external display device or a playing device through an interface. The notification unit 14 displays a text message by text, plays a voice message by voice, converts a text message into voice, and plays the voice message, or converts a voice message into text and displays the text message. The notification unit 14 may also notify a message from the group contact object. Each group contact object includes at least one contact object. The user may assign a representative name to the group contact object through text or voice input.
If a group contact object has not been given a representative name, the group contact object may be reported in text or speech by using a unified name such as "group chat" or a list of names of all contact objects included in the group contact object as a tentative name of the group contact object. However, regarding the group contact object to which the representative name is not given, the user cannot accurately identify the group contact object based on such a uniform name or a list of names of all contact objects included in the group contact object that is not extracted, or the like.
In this regard, the electronic device 1 has a characteristic configuration of the determination unit 11, the extraction unit 12, and the control unit 13. The judgment unit 11, the extraction unit 12, and the control unit 13 may be realized by a dedicated circuit, for example, by a processor provided in the electronic device 1 executing a program corresponding to the functions of each part.
The judgment section 11 judges whether or not the group contact object has been given a representative name. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the determination unit 11 acquires information on a group contact object from the contact object information stored in the electronic device 1, and determines whether or not the group contact object has been given a representative name. The determination unit 11 may acquire information about the group contact object from a device other than the electronic device 1 or the cloud using data communication.
When the judgment unit 11 judges that the group contact object to which the representative name is not given, the extraction unit 12 extracts specific information on the group contact object based on information on at least one contact object on the group contact object. For example, the extraction unit 12 may extract, as specific information related to the group contact object, a name of a part of the contact objects included in the group contact object, a number of the contact objects included in the group contact object, and/or an establishment time of the group contact object (an addition time of the earliest contact object in the group contact object), and/or a messaging frequency of a part or the whole of the group contact object, and/or an earliest/latest messaging time of a part or the whole of the group contact object, and/or a message history of a part or the whole of the group contact object, and/or an attribute of a part or the whole of the group contact object.
Alternatively, the extraction unit 12 may extract specific information related to the group contact object based on information of the user of the electronic device 1 related to the group contact object. For example, in the case where the user sets his own name (e.g., nickname) for the group contact object, the extraction section 12 may extract the name of the user in the group contact object as specific information related to the group contact object. Alternatively, the extraction unit 12 may extract, as the specific information related to the group contact object, the frequency of messaging by the user himself/herself in the group contact object, the earliest/latest messaging time by the user himself/herself in the group contact object, and/or the message history transmitted by the user himself/herself in the group contact object.
The control unit 13 controls the generation of the representative name of the group contact object to which the representative name is not assigned, using the specific information extracted by the extraction unit 12. For example, the control unit 13 may combine the specific information extracted by the extraction unit 12 with characters (for example, "… … group", "… … group", etc.) indicating the group contact object as the representative name of the group contact object. As shown in fig. 1, the control unit 13 may output the representative name of the group contact object to the contact object information stored in the electronic device 1, for example, and update the contact object information. Alternatively, the control unit 13 may output the representative name of the group contact object to the notification unit 14, so that the notification unit 14 notifies the group contact object by text or voice.
Next, a message notification control method executed by the electronic device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of a message notification control method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
The flow of fig. 2 may be executed at any timing, for example, when a group contact object is newly established in the electronic apparatus 1, or may be executed periodically every hour or every day. Step S101 described below corresponds to a judgment step, step S102 corresponds to an extraction step, and step S103 corresponds to a control step.
In step S101, the determination unit 11 determines whether or not the group contact object has been given a representative name. Fig. 3A and 3B are explanatory tables for specific examples of assigning a representative name to a group contact object in the first embodiment of the present invention. In this specific example, as shown in fig. 3A, the contact object information of the group contact object determined by the determination unit 11 is not given a group contact object name, and all contact objects (members) included in the group contact object are A, B, C, D.
If it is determined in step S101 that the group contact object has been given a representative name (yes in step S101), the present flow is ended. If it is determined in step S101 that the group contact object has not been given a representative name (no in step S101), step S102 is executed.
In step S102, the extraction unit 12 extracts specific information on the group contact object based on at least one contact object related to the group contact object and/or information of the user. In this specific example, the extraction unit 12 extracts, as specific information, a part of the contact objects (members B) included in the group contact object and the number 4 of the contact objects (members) included in the group contact object, as shown in fig. 3B. When extracting a part of the contact objects from all the contact objects included in the group of contact objects, the extracting unit 12 may extract, for example, the first or the first predetermined number of contact objects to be added in the group of contact objects, or the contact object of the earliest/latest message transmission in the group of contact objects.
In step S103, the control unit 13 controls to use the specific information extracted in step S102 to generate the representative name of the group contact object to which the representative name is not given. As shown in fig. 3B, the control section 13 uses the "member B" and "number of members" extracted in step S102: 4", generating the representative name" 4 crowd where B is located "of the group contact object.
That is, instead of simply setting the contact object information of the group contact object acquired by the determining unit 11 (for example, the name list of all the contact objects included in the group contact object shown in fig. 3A) as the representative name of the group contact object, the extracting unit 12 extracts specific information of the group contact object (for example, the name and/or the number of contact objects of a part of the contact objects shown in fig. 3B) from the contact object information of the group contact object in step S102, and uses the specific information to generate the representative name of the group contact object.
According to the electronic device 1 and the message notification control method executed by the same of the present embodiment, for a group contact object to which no name is given, the representative name of the group contact object can be automatically given to the group contact object to which no name is given by extracting specific information from information of the contact object related to the group contact object and/or information of the user related to the group contact object.
(second embodiment)
A second embodiment of the present invention is specifically described. The present embodiment is a specific example of the first embodiment, and is applicable to a case where there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given. The differences of the present embodiment from the first embodiment will be mainly described below, and the description of the same or similar matters as those of the first embodiment will be omitted.
The structure of the electronic device of the present embodiment is the same as that of the electronic device 1 of the first embodiment, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted. The following describes a message notification control method executed by the electronic device 1 according to the present embodiment. Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a message notification control method according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Step S201 in fig. 4 is the same as step S101 in fig. 2 in the first embodiment, and is not described here.
If it is determined in step S201 that the group contact object has not been given a representative name (no in step S201), step S202 is executed. In step S202, the determination unit 11 further determines whether or not the group contact object to which the representative name is not given is one. If it is determined in step S202 that the group contact object to which the representative name is not assigned is one (yes in step S202), steps S203 and S204 are executed. Steps S203 and S204 are the same as steps S102 and S103 in fig. 2, and are not described herein.
If it is determined in step S202 that there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names have not been assigned (no in step S202), step S205 is executed. In step S205, the extracting unit 12 extracts, for a first group contact object among a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not assigned, first specific information related to the first group contact object based on information of at least one contact object related to the first group contact object and/or a user of the electronic device 1.
In step S206, the extracting unit 12 extracts, for a second group contact object among the plurality of group contact objects to which the representative name is not given, second specific information which is related to the second group contact object and which is different from the first specific information, based on information of at least one contact object related to the second group contact object and/or a user of the electronic device 1.
In step S207, the control unit 13 controls the generation of the representative name of the first group contact object using the first specific information, and the generation of the representative name of the second group contact object using the second specific information.
In the present embodiment, the group contact objects to which the representative names are not assigned are not limited to the case where the group contact objects to which the representative names are not assigned are simultaneously determined, but the group contact objects to which the representative names are not assigned by the user may be sequentially determined. In this case, first specific information may be extracted for a first group contact object among a plurality of group contact objects to which a representative name is not given by a user and used to generate a representative name thereof, and second specific information different from the first specific information may be extracted for a second group contact object and used to generate a representative name thereof.
In the related art, if there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, it is difficult for the user to distinguish the plurality of group contact objects. Even if a unified name such as "group chat" or a list of names of all contact objects included in the group contact object is used as a tentative name of the group contact object, it is still difficult for the user to accurately distinguish the plurality of group contact objects. In particular, when messages are received from a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not assigned in a time series, the messages are notified to the user in a mixed manner, and the user cannot know from which group contact object (and which contact object among which group contact object) the message originates, and cannot accurately understand the context and intention of the message.
According to the electronic device 1 and the message notification control method executed by the same of the present embodiment, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not assigned, different specific information is extracted to generate the representative names of the respective group contact objects, so that different representative names can be automatically assigned to the plurality of group contact objects to which the names are not assigned, and the user can easily distinguish the plurality of group contact objects.
Several specific examples of the present embodiment are described below. Fig. 5A and 5B are explanatory tables of specific example 1 in which a representative name is assigned to a group contact object in the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5A, in step S202, the determination unit 11 determines that there are two contact object groups to which no representative name is given, the first group contact object includes a contact object (member) A, B, C, D, and the second group contact object includes a contact object (member) A, B, C, E.
In steps S205 and S206, the extraction unit 12 extracts, as the first specific information, the name of the first contact object included in the first group contact object, and extracts, as the second specific information, the name of the second contact object different from the first contact object included in the second group contact object. As shown in fig. 5B, the extraction unit 12 extracts the name of the member D included in the first group contact object as first specific information, and extracts the name of the member E included in the second group contact object as second specific information. Wherein member D is different from member E.
In step S207, as shown in fig. 5B, the control unit 13 generates "group where D is located" using the first specific information "member D" as a representative name of the first group contact object, and generates "group where E is located" using the second specific information "member E" as a representative name of the second group contact object.
Thus, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, by extracting the names of mutually different contact objects included in each group contact object to generate the representative names of each group contact object, it is possible to automatically give different representative names to a plurality of group contact objects to which no representative names are given in a more concise and easily distinguishable manner.
Fig. 6A and 6B are explanatory tables of specific example 2 in which a representative name is given to a group contact object in the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6A, in step S202, the determining unit 11 determines that there are two contact object groups to which representative names are not assigned, the first contact object group includes a contact object (member) A, B, C, D, F, G, H in which A, B, C, D is in a friend relationship with the user, and the second contact object group includes a contact object (member) A, B, C, E, I, J, K in which A, B, C, E is in a friend relationship with the user.
In steps S205 and S206, the extracting unit 12 extracts a first contact object in a friend relationship with the user, which is included in a first group of contact objects, uses a name of the first contact object in the friend relationship as first specific information, extracts a second contact object in a friend relationship with the user, which is different from the first contact object, which is included in a second group of contact objects, and uses a name of the second contact object in the friend relationship as second specific information. As shown in fig. 6B, the extraction unit 12 extracts the name of the friend D included in the first group contact object as first specific information, and extracts the name of the friend E included in the second group contact object as second specific information. Wherein member D is different from member E.
In step S207, as shown in fig. 6B, the control unit 13 generates "a group in which the friend D is located" as a representative name of the first group contact object using the first specific information "member D", and generates "a group in which the friend E is located" as a representative name of the second group contact object using the second specific information "member E".
The relationship with the user is not limited to the friend relationship, but may be other specific contact relationships such as a relative relationship and a friend relationship.
Thus, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, the representative names of the group contact objects can be automatically given to the plurality of group contact objects to which the representative names are not given, by extracting the names of the contact objects which are different from each other and are in a specific contact relationship with the user included in the group contact objects, and generating the representative names of the group contact objects.
Fig. 7A and 7B are explanatory tables of specific example 3 in which a representative name is given to a group contact object in the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 7A, in step S202, the determination unit 11 determines that there are two contact object groups to which representative names are not assigned, and that the name (for example, nickname) of the user in the first group contact object is a first name, and that the name (for example, nickname) of the user in the second group contact object is a second name.
In steps S205 and S206, as shown in fig. 7B, the extraction unit 12 extracts a nickname of the user in the first group contact object, and "nickname: first, "as first specific information, extracting a nickname of the user in the second group contact object, and combining the nickname: b "as the second specific information, wherein the nickname of the user in the first group contact object is different from the nickname in the second group contact object.
In step S207, as shown in fig. 7B, the control unit 13 uses the first specific information "nickname: the first "generates" i am called a group of first "as a representative name of the first group contact object, using the second specific information" nickname: and B ' generating ' I call group of B ' as the representative name of the contact object of the second group.
Thus, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, different names of the user in the respective group contact objects are extracted, and thus, the representative names which are different from each other and which are derived from the names set by the user themselves can be automatically given to the plurality of group contact objects to which the names are not given, so that the user can more easily distinguish the plurality of group contact objects based on the names originally set by the user.
Fig. 8A, 8B, and 8C are explanatory tables of specific example 4 in which a representative name is given to a group contact object in the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 8A, in step S202, the determination unit 11 determines that there are two contact object groups to which no representative name is given, and the history information of the message sent by the user to the first group contact object includes "tomorrow pick-up child", and the history information of the message sent by the user to the second group contact object includes "tomorrow lunch guest".
In steps S205 and S206, as shown in fig. 8B, the extracting unit 12 extracts "pick-up child" as first specific information from the history information of the message sent by the user to the first group contact object, and extracts "ask" as second specific information from the history information of the message sent by the user to the second group contact object.
In step S207, as shown in fig. 8B, the control unit 13 generates "child pick-up subgroup" as a representative name of the first group contact object using the first specific information "child pick-up", and generates "guest group" as a representative name of the second group contact object using the second specific information "guest.
Thus, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, specific information is extracted from messages that the user has conventionally transmitted to the respective group contact objects, and it is possible to automatically give representative names related to messages input by the user themselves to the plurality of group contact objects to which the names are not given, and to make it possible for the user to more easily distinguish the plurality of group contact objects based on messages that are originally input by the user.
In this specific example, as shown in fig. 8C, in steps S205 and S206, the extracting unit 12 may analyze the attribute "family" of the first group contact object as the first specific information based on the history information of the message transmitted by the user to the first group contact object, and analyze the attribute "meal friend" of the second group contact object different from the attribute of the first group contact object as the second specific information based on the history information of the message transmitted by the user to the second group contact object.
In step S207, as shown in fig. 8C, the control unit 13 generates "family group" as a representative name of the first group contact object using the first specific information "family", and generates "meal friend group" as a representative name of the second group contact object using the second specific information "meal friend".
Here, the extraction unit 12 may extract, for example, attributes related to a group contact object function (for example, shopping, red-envelope, etc.), an active time zone (noon, commute, etc.), an active place (shopping center, office building, etc.), etc. as the group contact object attributes from the history information using artificial intelligence.
In this way, when there are a plurality of group contact objects to which representative names are not given, the attribute of each group contact object is extracted as specific information from the message that the user has conventionally sent to each group contact object, and thus, the representative names related to the characteristics of the user in each group contact object can be given automatically to the plurality of group contact objects to which no names are given, and the user can more easily distinguish the plurality of group contact objects based on the characteristics of the user in each group contact object.
(third embodiment)
A third embodiment of the present invention is specifically described. In this embodiment, the reception of user input is increased in addition to the first or second embodiment. The differences between the present embodiment and the first or second embodiment are emphasized below, and the description of the same or similar contents as those of the first or second embodiment is omitted in the present embodiment.
Fig. 9 is a block diagram of an electronic device 1A according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 9, the electronic device 1A further includes a receiving unit 15. The receiving unit 15 can receive a name of a contact object input by a user as a destination to which the user transmits a message, and can receive text input by the user through a touch panel, a mouse, a keyboard, or the like, or can receive voice input by the user through a microphone, or the like, for example. When receiving the representative name generated by the control unit 13 and input by the user, the receiving unit 15 sets the group contact object to which the representative name is not assigned as the destination of the user transmission message.
The following describes a message notification control method executed by the electronic device 1A according to the present embodiment. Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a message notification control method according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Steps S301, S302, S303 in fig. 10 are the same as steps S101, S102, S103 in fig. 2 in the first embodiment, and are not described here.
In step S304, the reception unit 15 determines whether or not the representative name input by the user is received. If it is determined that the representative name input by the user is not accepted (no in step S304), the present flow is ended. When it is determined that the representative name input by the user is accepted (yes in step S304), step S305 is executed. For example, in the case of specific example 3 of the second embodiment shown in fig. 7A and 7B, if the receiving unit 15 receives "i call a group" inputted by the user by voice, it is determined in step S304 that the representative name inputted by the user is received, and step S305 is executed.
In step S305, the reception unit 15 sets the group contact object to which the representative name has not been given as the destination of the user transmission message. For example, in the case of specific example 3 of the second embodiment shown in fig. 7A and 7B, the reception unit 15 sets the first group contact object as the destination of the user transmission message.
In the prior art, in the case that the user wishes to send a message to a group contact object to which a representative name is not given, the group contact object cannot be effectively called, and thus, a message cannot be sent to the group contact object.
According to the electronic device 1A and the message notification control method executed by the same of the present embodiment, when a user wishes to send a message to a group contact object to which a representative name has not been given, the group contact object can be accurately set as a transmission destination based on the representative name generated from the extracted specific information for the group contact object.
(fourth embodiment)
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described. The present embodiment is defined in the first, second, or third embodiments, wherein the representative name is automatically assigned when a message from the group contact object is received. The differences of the present embodiment with respect to the first, second or third embodiment will be mainly described below, and the description thereof will be omitted in the present embodiment as to the same or similar matters as the first, second or third embodiment.
Fig. 11 is a block diagram of an electronic device 1B according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 11, the electronic device 1B further has a receiving portion 16. The receiving unit 16 can receive a message from a group contact object. The receiving unit 16 may have a data communication function itself, and thus may be capable of receiving a message from a group contact object of another electronic device. Alternatively, the receiving unit 16 may be capable of receiving a message received by another electronic device by establishing a wired or wireless connection with the other electronic device having a data communication function.
The following describes a message notification control method executed by the electronic device 1B according to the present embodiment. Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of a message notification control method according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
In step S401, the receiving unit 16 determines whether or not a message is received from the group contact object. If it is determined in step S401 that the message has not been received from the group contact object (no in step S401), the routine returns to repeatedly execute step S401. When it is determined in step S401 that the message is received from the group contact object (yes in step S401), step S402 is executed. Steps S402, S403, S404 in fig. 12 are the same as steps S101, S102, S103 in fig. 2 in the first embodiment, and are not described here.
In step S405, the control unit 13 controls the notification unit 14 to notify the representative name of the group contact object generated by the control unit 13 in step S404 when notifying the message.
According to the electronic device 1B and the message notification control method executed by the same of the present embodiment, when a message is received from a group contact object to which a representative name is not assigned, the representative name can be assigned to the group contact object in real time, so that when the message is notified to a user, the user can be made aware of the group contact object to which the message is transmitted, the sense of confusion of the user when the message is received is eliminated, and convenience is improved.
The above description of the embodiments and examples of the present invention makes reference to the accompanying drawings. The foregoing embodiments and examples are merely specific examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications, combinations, and reasonable omissions of the elements and the embodiments based on the technical ideas of the present invention, and the manner in which they are obtained is also included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the above embodiments and specific examples may be combined with each other, and the combined embodiments are also included in the scope of the present invention.
For example, in-vehicle devices generally use only voice playback when notifying a message, i.e., playing a voice message in voice, and converting a text message into voice playback for safety. When the name of the contact object or the representative name of the group contact object is reported, the method is also a voice playing mode.
At this time, if the group contact object is not given a representative name when a message from the group contact object is received, the representative name of the group contact object cannot be played to the user, and the user cannot know exactly where the message is received from. Further, even if a unified name such as "group chat" or a name list of all contact objects included in the group contact object is used as a tentative name of the group contact object, and the tentative name is played when a message from the group contact object is received, the user cannot know exactly where the message is received. In addition, when a list of names of all contact objects included in the group contact object is used as a tentative name of the group contact object and played, if the number of contact objects included in the group contact object is large, the time required for playing the tentative name may be too long, which may cause trouble to the user. In contrast, according to the above embodiments, it is possible to extract specific information as a representative name for a group contact object to which a representative name is not given, and thus it is particularly effective in the case of an in-vehicle apparatus.
The steps included in the message notification control method according to the above embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as parts (units) included in the message notification control system, steps included in the message notification control program, or a recording medium storing the message notification control program, and similar technical effects may be obtained.
