  FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of processing on the control unit 11 side for executing image display control of the mobile phone terminal 1. The process shown in this flowchart is looped at regular time intervals.

  In FIG. 3, first, in step S <b> 1, the control unit 11 detects a detection signal from the body condition parameter detection unit 8 and the acceleration sensor included in the sensor 25, a time count value from the timer 23, an imaging signal from the camera 7, GPS Based on the GPS received signal from the receiving circuit 22 or the like, the user's own state is detected. Here, the user's own state means that the user's body temperature is several times, the user's pulse is fast or slow, how fast the user is moving, and what color or pattern the user is wearing Or something. That is, the control unit 11 recognizes the user's body temperature and pulse based on detection signals such as body temperature and pulse from the body condition parameter detection unit 8. In addition, the control unit 11 extracts the base color of the clothing from the captured data when the user's clothing is photographed by the camera 7 or recognizes the pattern of the clothing by pattern recognition. Further, the control unit 11 detects the moving speed of the user based on the output of the acceleration sensor and the GPS reception signal from the GPS reception circuit 22. Further, in step S1, the control unit 11 detects from the user schedule data held by the data holding unit 16 what the user's own current schedule is as the user's own state. To do. Note that it is possible for the user to set which of the user's own states is detected or how many of those states are to be detected, and the setting data is also stored in the data holding unit 16. Retained. After step S1, the control unit 11 advances the process to step S2.

  When the process proceeds to step S2, the control unit 11 detects the temperature sensor included in the sensor 25, the weather forecast data acquired in advance and held in the data holding unit 16, the time count value from the timer 23, the camera 7 Based on the image pickup signal, the GPS reception signal from the GPS reception circuit 22, the input audio signal from the microphone 5, and the like, the state around the user is detected. Here, the state around the user is the current time (or time zone), the current position where the user is located (including not only latitude and longitude, but also the country, city, town, region, etc.), the townscape around the user, The scenery, the sound environment around the user, etc. That is, the control unit 11 detects the outside air temperature with the temperature sensor included in the sensor 25, recognizes the current time based on the time count value from the timer 23, and reads out from the data holding unit 16 based on the time count value. The weather of the day is recognized from the weather forecast data, or the weather of the day is recognized from an imaging signal when the sky is photographed by the camera 7, for example. Further, the control unit 11 recognizes the current position where the user is present from the GPS reception signal from the GPS reception circuit 22, and recognizes surrounding scenes, streets and landscapes taken by the camera 7, their base colors, and the like. Furthermore, the control unit 11 recognizes ambient environmental sounds based on the input audio signal from the microphone 5. Note that it is possible for the user to set which of these states around the user are detected or how many of them are detected, and the setting data is also held in the data holding unit 16. After step S2, the control unit 11 advances the process to step S3.

  When the processing proceeds to step S3, the control unit 11 detects what state is in the terminal depending on what application is activated and executed. Here, the internal state of the terminal means, for example, whether a call is in progress, a mail operation is being performed, or a camera is being photographed. That is, since the control unit 11 can recognize the application being executed, the control unit 11 recognizes that the mail operation is being performed, for example, when the mail application is being executed, and is busy while the call application is being executed, for example. It can be recognized that there is. It should be noted that it is possible for the user to set which one of the states inside the terminal is detected or how many of them are detected, and the setting data is also held in the data holding unit 16. After step S3, the control unit 11 advances the process to step S4.

  In step S4, the control unit 11 determines whether to change and control the display content of the image. That is, in step S4, the control unit 11 determines the elapsed time from the time when the previous display control was performed, the user's own state detected in the previous step S1, step S2, and step S3, the user surrounding state, the terminal Using the internal state, the difference between each state used in the previous display control and the current state, etc., for example, depending on whether the elapsed time has exceeded a predetermined time or the change in each state is large, etc. It is determined whether to change the display content of. In step S4, the control unit 11 determines to change and control the display content of the monitor 2 when, for example, the elapsed time is equal to or longer than a predetermined time or the change in each state is large. If it is determined that the display content is to be changed, the control unit 11 advances the process to step S5, and otherwise ends the process of this flowchart.

  When the process proceeds to step S5, the control unit 11 refers to the information in the correspondence table held in the data holding unit 16, and the user's own state, the user surrounding state, and the terminal acquired in step S1 to step S3. A display image based on the internal state and the correspondence table is generated, and the display image is displayed on the monitor 2.

[Specific example of monitor display control according to the status]
Here, in the mobile phone terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 11 specifically includes the above-described user's own state, the user's surrounding state, the internal state of the terminal, and a correspondence table as exemplified below. The screen display of the monitor 2 is controlled based on the above. These are all examples.

  FIG. 4 shows an example in which the display screen of the monitor 2 is divided into, for example, an image display area 2a and a background display area 2b. In FIG. 5, the display screen of the monitor 2 is, for example, an image. The example divided into display areas 2a and 2c and background display area 2b is shown. In particular, the image display area 2a in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 is a portion where an image having contents corresponding to the application being executed is displayed. For example, when the mail application is executed, the mail operation image is executed by the schedule application. The schedule book image is displayed when the camera application is being executed, and the photographed image is displayed when the camera application is being executed. Note that the area of each display region in FIGS. 4 and 5 can be changed as appropriate.

  First, a specific example in which display control of the image display areas 2a and 2c, the background display area 2b, and the like in FIGS. 4 and 5 is performed according to the current user's own state will be described.

  FIG. 6 shows a correspondence table between the color system obtained by the control unit 11 analyzing a photographed image taken when the user is wearing clothes with the camera 7 and the color displayed on the screen of the monitor 2. An example is shown.

  Here, when the correspondence table of FIG. 6 is a correspondence table of the color system of the user's clothes and the background display area 2b of the monitor 2 shown in FIGS. For example, if the clothing color system is “white”, the background display area 2b on the screen of the monitor 2 is set to “white”. Similarly, when the clothing color system is “black”, the background display area 2b Is “black” and the clothing color system is “blue”, screen display control is performed so that the background display area 2b is “blue”.

  The correspondence table in FIG. 6 is a correspondence table between, for example, the color system of the user's clothes and the taste (color and pattern) of the image displayed in the image display area 2a of the monitor 2 shown in FIGS. In this case, the control unit 11 controls to change the taste of the image displayed in the image display area 2a of FIGS. 4 and 5 according to the color system of the clothes worn by the user.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a correspondence table between a user's current pulse detected by the body condition parameter detection unit 8 and an image displayed on the screen of the monitor 2.

  Here, when the correspondence table in FIG. 7 is a correspondence table between the user's pulse and the background display area 2b of the monitor 2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the control unit 11 determines that the user's pulse is 90 times, for example. The background display area 2b blinks, for example, to “high speed” when it is “fast” such as more than / minute, and similarly, the background display is displayed when the user ’s pulse is “medium”, for example, 65-90 times / minute. The area 2b is blinked at “medium speed”, and the background display area 2b is blinked at “low speed” when the user's pulse is “slow” such as 65 times / minute or less. Note that the display control of the background display area 2a may be control of the change speed to a different color in addition to the blinking speed control.

  In addition, when the correspondence table in FIG. 7 is a correspondence table between the user's pulse and the image display area 2a of the monitor 2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the control unit 11 determines that the user's pulse is “fast”. In the same way, when the user's pulse is “medium”, the taste of the image display area 2a is changed and controlled at “medium speed”. When the pulse of the user is “slow”, the taste of the image display area 2a is changed and controlled at “low speed”.

For example, when a standby screen is displayed in the image display area 2a, the standby screen image is controlled to be changed to another image at a speed corresponding to the pulse of the user, or the image display area For example, when a moving image in which a character moves is displayed on 2a, it is possible to change and control the speed of the moving image at a speed according to the pulse of the user.

  Furthermore, when the correspondence table in FIG. 7 is a correspondence table between the user's pulse and, for example, the expansion / contraction of the bar graph displayed on the image display area 2c in FIG. Is "fast", the bar graph of the image display area 2c is expanded and contracted to "high speed". Similarly, when the user's pulse is "medium", the bar graph of the image display area 2c is "medium speed" When the user's pulse is “slow”, the bar graph in the image display area 2c is stretched at “low speed”.

  In the example of FIG. 7, the user's pulse is taken as an example, but display control similar to that described above can also be performed in a correspondence table between the moving speed of the user obtained from an acceleration sensor or GPS and an image.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a correspondence table between a user schedule held in the data holding unit 16 and an image displayed on the screen of the monitor 2.

  When the correspondence table in FIG. 8 is a correspondence table between the user's schedule and the image display area 2a of the monitor 2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the control unit 11 has the user's schedule as “work”, for example. Sometimes “image at work” is displayed in the image display area 2a. Similarly, when the user's schedule is “drinking party”, “image of a pub” is displayed in the image display area 2a, and the user's schedule is displayed. Is “meeting”, for example, “image during meeting” is displayed in the image display area 2a, and “travel image” is displayed in the image display area 2a when the user's schedule is “travel”, for example. The image displayed in the image display area 2a may be an image taken by the camera 7 or an image prepared in advance.

  Next, a specific example of performing display control of the image display areas 2a and 2c, the background display area 2b, and the like in FIGS. 4 and 5 according to the current state around the user will be described.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a correspondence table between the time zone determined by the control unit 11 based on the time count value from the timer 23 and the color displayed on the screen of the monitor 2.

  When the correspondence table in FIG. 9 is a correspondence table between the time zone and the background display area 2b of the monitor 2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the control unit 11 has a time zone of, for example, 3:00 to 10:00. In the “morning” time zone, the background display area 2b on the screen of the monitor 2 is set to “white”. Similarly, the time zone is “daytime” such as 10:00 to 16:00. The background display area 2b is “yellow” and the background display area 2b is “dark blue” when the time zone is “night” such as 16:00 to 3:00 the next day. The screen display control is performed.

  Further, when the correspondence table in FIG. 9 is a correspondence table between the time zone and the taste (color shade) of the image displayed in the image display area 2a of the monitor 2 shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. The taste of the image displayed in the image display area 2a of FIGS. 4 and 5 is changed and controlled according to the time zone.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of a correspondence table between “country” determined by the control unit 11 based on latitude and longitude information of GPS and an image displayed on the screen of the monitor 2.

  When the correspondence table in FIG. 10 is a correspondence table between “country” and the background display area 2b of the monitor 2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the control unit 11 indicates that “country” is, for example, “United States”. Sometimes, a “star pattern” image is displayed in the background display area 2 b on the screen of the monitor 2.

[Summary]
As described above, according to the mobile phone terminal of the embodiment of the present invention, the image display on the monitor 2 is switched according to the state of the user's clothing color and schedule, the terminal application, and the like. It is possible to customize various variations according to the situation without any particular conscious operation.

  In the above-described example, the image corresponding to each state is displayed according to the correspondence table stored in advance in the data holding unit 16, but the user changes the setting from a plurality of tables according to his / her preference. Alternatively, an image taken by the camera 7 may be used. Furthermore, you may make it display the image downloaded from the other terminal device using a communication means etc.

  In the description of FIGS. 6 to 12 described above, examples in which each correspondence table corresponds one-to-one with respect to the user's own state, the state around the user, and the state inside the terminal are given. It is of course possible to control the screen display of the monitor 2 by combining each state and each corresponding table. For example, if the schedule of FIG. 8 is “travel” and the travel destination “country” is “United States” in FIG. 10 as a combination of FIG. 8 and FIG. "Image" is displayed, and a "star pattern" taste is displayed in the background display area 2b. In addition, since it is complicated to list all examples of combinations of other states and correspondence tables, their description is omitted.

  Furthermore, in the example of each correspondence table in FIGS. 6 to 12 described above, an example in which one image is prepared for one state is shown, but a plurality of images may be selectively displayed. For example, it is possible to display a different image each time by preparing a plurality of images when the pulse is fast and switching in turn each time the images are displayed. Or you may enable it to display only a favorite image by the selection setting by a user.

  Also, the correspondence table used according to each state, and the correspondence between the state and the image in each correspondence table can be changed as appropriate, for example, by feedback from the user, or can be prioritized by user settings. It is.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example of changing the image display of the monitor 2 according to each state is given. For example, a so-called electronic paper capable of color display is provided on the casing of a mobile phone terminal. It is also possible to change and control the display of the electronic paper as described above.
