For example, when there are three users, user A, user B, and user C, and the area dividing means 6 has divided the image information into three areas, user A will be given area A (area identification information). "1A"), area B (area identification information "1 (area identification information" 1B ")) is allocated to user B, and area C (area identification information" 1C ") is allocated to user C. For the allocation, a flag may be set for each area, for example, in the image information “1” transmitted to the user A, the area A (area identification information “1A”) allocated to the user A is “X”. A flag “Y” is given to the other regions B and C (region identification information “1B”, “1C”), and the image information “1” transmitted to the user B includes a user. The area “B” (area identification information “1B”) assigned to B has an “X” flag, A flag “Y” is given to the areas A and C (area identification information “1A”, “1C”), and the area C assigned to the user C in the image information “1” transmitted to the user C. A flag “X” is given to (region identification information “1C”), and a flag “Y” is given to the other regions A and B (region identification information “1A”, “1B”). The flag “X” indicates that the image information of the area is displayed, and the flag “Y” indicates that the image information of the area is not displayed. This is an area displayed in the image information transmitted to the mobile terminal 3. A conceptual diagram showing this flag is shown in FIG.

In the case of the mobile terminal 3A of the user A, what is stored in the mobile storage device 27 of the mobile terminal 3A is received by the image information receiving means 10 and stored in the mobile storage device 27 by the image information storage means 11. For example, the image information, area identification information “1A”, “1B”, “1C”, and the flag first assigned to user A (“X” for area identification information “1A”, area identification) The information “1B” is “Y”, and the area identification information “1C” is “Y”). Based on this flag, the image display control means 12 of the mobile terminal 3A displays only the area A as the original image, and displays the concealed images for the areas B and C in the mobile terminal 3A. It is displayed on the device 29. Accordingly, only the image in the area shown by the shaded area in FIG. 7A is displayed on the portable display device 29. Similarly, in the mobile display device 29 of the mobile terminal 3B of the user B, the image display control means 12 of the mobile terminal 3B displays only the image in the area shown by the shaded area in FIG. Then, in the mobile display device 29 of the mobile terminal 3C of the user C, the image display control means 12 of the mobile terminal 3C displays only the image in the area shown by the shaded area in FIG. The

  It should be noted that, in practice, shading is not displayed, but only the image corresponding to the shading in the image information is displayed. It should be noted that the display control may be performed on the area where the image is not displayed in black or white, or in a state (hiding state) indicating that the image is not displayed.

  The display control information communication means 13 receives information on a flag including “X” from among the flags initially received from the management server 2 when the users perform a predetermined operation via their mobile terminals 3. Is transmitted to the mobile terminal 3 via the mobile communication device 28, and the flag information including “X” is included in the flag first received from the management server 2 by the mobile terminal 3 of the other party. It is means for receiving via the communication device 28. The flag information received here is transferred to the image information storage unit 11, and the image information storage unit 11 changes the flag information of the portable storage device 27. Then, the image display control means 12 performs image display control based on the flag information. That is, an area to which “X” is given in the flag information received from the other party is further displayed via the portable display device 29.

  As described above, when the display control information communication means 13 performs a predetermined operation from the input device of the mobile terminal 3 by communicating through the mobile communication device 28 of each mobile terminal 3 or by directly talking or the like, Is received by the display control information communication means 13, and the flag information as described above is transmitted and received mutually. Thus, information on the area of the image to be displayed with the other party's mobile terminal 3 can be exchanged.

  Next, an example of the processing process of the image display system 1 of the portable terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4 and the system configuration diagrams of FIGS. In this embodiment, for simplification of explanation, there are three users (user A, user B, user C) and the number of areas divided by the area dividing means 6 is three. As will be described, more users and divided areas may be used.

  A user who desires to use the image display system 1 of the portable terminal accesses the management server 2 by performing a predetermined operation from his / her portable terminal 3 to access his / her portable terminal 3 (preferably with an e-mail address). However, any information that uniquely identifies the mobile terminal 3 may be registered.

  The image selection means 4 of the management server 2 selects and extracts image information to be transmitted to each mobile terminal 3 from among a plurality of pieces of image information stored in the server management apparatus at a predetermined timing. The image identification information assigning means 5 assigns image identification information, for example, “1” to the extracted image information (S100).

  The image dividing means 6 divides the image information selected and extracted by the image selecting means 4 into a plurality of areas (S110). Here, it is divided into three regions. FIG. 5A shows image information before division, and FIG. 5B shows image information after three divisions.

  For each area divided by the area dividing means 6, the area identification information assigning means 7 assigns area identification information (S120). Here, the area identification information “1A” is assigned to the area “A” of the image information “1”, the area identification information “1B” is assigned to the area “B” of the image information “1”, and the image information “ “1C” is assigned as region identification information to the region “C” of “1”.

  For each area assigned by the area identification information assigning means 7, the user assigning means 8 assigns at least one area for each user (S130). Here, since there are three users and three areas, one area is allocated to each user. It is assumed that area A is assigned to user A, area B is assigned to user B, and area C is assigned to user C. Accordingly, the flag information for the area of user A is given the flag “X” for the area identification information “1A” and the flag “Y” for the area identification information “1B” and “1C”. Further, the flag information for the area of user B is given the flag of “X” for the area identification information “1B”, the flag of “Y” for the area identification information “1A” and “1C”, and further used. As for the flag information for the area of the user C, the flag “X” is given to the area identification information “1C”, and the flag “Y” is given to the area identification information “1A” and “1B”. A conceptual diagram showing this flag is shown in FIG.

  The image transmission means 9 sends the image information divided by the area dividing means 6, all the area identification information and the flag information of each area assigned to each user to the server for each mobile terminal 3 of each user. It transmits via the communication apparatus 23 (S140).

  Therefore, the mobile terminal 3A of the user A includes the image information shown in FIG. 5B divided into regions, region identification information “1A”, “1B”, “1C” for identifying the regions, A flag assigned to user A ("X" for area identification information "1A", "Y" for area identification information "1B", "Y" for area identification information "1C") is transmitted. The mobile terminal 3B of the user B includes the image information shown in FIG. 5B divided into each area, area identification information “1A”, “1B”, “1C” for identifying each area, The flag assigned to the person B (“X” for the area identification information “1B”, “Y” for the area identification information “1A”, “Y” for the area identification information “1C”) is transmitted. Furthermore, the mobile terminal 3C of the user C includes the image information shown in FIG. 5B divided into each area, area identification information “1A”, “1B”, “1C” for identifying each area, The flag assigned to the user C (“X” for the area identification information “1C”, “Y” for the area identification information “1A”, “Y” for the area identification information “1B”) is transmitted.

  The image information or the like transmitted in S140 is received by the image information receiving means 10 via the mobile communication device 28 of each user's mobile terminal 3 (S150). The received image information or the like is stored in the portable storage device 27 by the image information storage unit 11.

  The image display control means 12 performs display on the portable display device 29 based on the image information, area identification information, and flag information stored in the portable storage device 27 (S160). In the case of the mobile terminal 3A of the user A, what is stored in the mobile storage device 27 of the mobile terminal 3A is received by the image information receiving means 10 and stored in the mobile storage device 27 by the image information storage means 11. For example, the image information, area identification information “1A”, “1B”, “1C”, and the flag first assigned to user A (“X” for area identification information “1A”, area identification) The information “1B” is “Y”, and the area identification information “1C” is “Y”). Based on this flag, the image display control means 12 of the mobile terminal 3A displays only the image information of the area A among the image information, and the mobile display device of the mobile terminal 3A displays the hidden images for the areas B and C. 29. Accordingly, only the image in the area shown by the shaded area in FIG. 7A is displayed on the portable display device 29. Similarly, in the mobile display device 29 of the mobile terminal 3B of the user B, the image display control means 12 of the mobile terminal 3B displays only the image in the area shown by the shaded area in FIG. Then, in the mobile display device 29 of the mobile terminal 3C of the user C, the image display control means 12 of the mobile terminal 3C displays only the image in the area shown by the shaded area in FIG. The

  Each user communicates with each other by direct conversation or the like via the portable terminal 3 and performs a predetermined operation from the portable input device 25 of the portable terminal 3 of each user. Display control information communication means 13 accepts. Thereby, the flag information including “X” among the flags received first from the management server 2 is transmitted to the other party's portable terminal 3 via the portable communication device 28, and the other party's portable terminal 3 transmits the other party's portable information. Of the flags received first from the management server 2 by the terminal 3, the flag information including "X" is received via the mobile communication device 28 (S170). That is, the flag information is exchanged with the other user.

  Based on the information on the exchanged flag, the display control information communication unit 13 of each portable terminal 3 displays the received image of the flag area (S180).

  For example, when the user A and the user B communicate with each other via their mobile terminals 3, only the image of the area A is initially displayed on the mobile terminal 3A of the user A, and the images of the areas B and C are It is in a hidden state. Further, only the image of the region B is displayed on the mobile terminal 3B of the user B, and the images of the region A and the region C are in a concealed state. Here, when the user A performs a predetermined operation on the mobile terminal 3A and the user B performs the predetermined operation on the mobile terminal 3B, the display control information communication unit 13 of the mobile terminal 3A is connected to the mobile terminal 3A via the mobile communication device 28. Information on the first flag is transmitted from the portable terminal 3A to the portable terminal 3B via each portable communication device 28. That is, the flag information “X” of the region A (region identification information “1A”) is transmitted to the mobile terminal 3B. This is received via the portable communication device 28 by the display control information communication means 13 of the portable terminal 3B.

  When the display control information communication unit 13 of the mobile terminal 3B receives the information of the first flag of the mobile terminal 3A (the flag “X” of the area identification information “1A”) via the mobile communication device 28, the display control information communication unit 13 passes the flag information to the image information storage unit 11, and the image information storage unit 11 changes the flag information in the portable storage device 27 of the portable terminal 3B. At this time, the flag information stored in the portable storage device 27 of the portable terminal 3B is “X” for the region identification information “1A”, “X” for the region identification information “1B”, and “1C” for the region identification information “1C”. "Is" Y ". By this change, the image display control means 12 can further display the area A indicated by the area identification information “1A” whose flag is “X”. In the portable display device 29 of the portable terminal 3B, the area A and the area B are displayed. Is displayed, and only the area C is hidden.

  On the other hand, the display control information communication means 13 of the portable terminal 3B transmits the information of the first flag of the portable terminal 3B from the portable terminal 3B to the portable terminal 3A via the portable communication device 28 via each portable communication device 28. That is, the flag information “X” of the region B (region identification information “1B”) is transmitted to the mobile terminal 3A. This is received via the mobile communication device 28 by the display control information communication means 13 of the mobile terminal 3A. When the display control information communication unit 13 of the mobile terminal 3A receives the information of the first flag of the mobile terminal 3B (the flag “X” of the area identification information “1B”) via the mobile communication device 28, the display control information communication unit 13 passes the flag information to the image information storage unit 11, and the image information storage unit 11 changes the flag information in the portable storage device 27 of the portable terminal 3A. At this time, the flag information stored in the portable storage device 27 of the portable terminal 3A is “X” for the region identification information “1A”, “X” for the region identification information “1B”, and “1C” for the region identification information “1C”. "Is" Y ". By this change, the image display control means 12 can further display the area B indicated by the area identification information “1B” whose flag is “X”. In the portable display device 29 of the portable terminal 3A, the area A and the area B are displayed. Is displayed, and only the area C is hidden. FIG. 8 schematically shows this state. FIG. 8A is a screen as a result of user A having exchanged the flag with user B in the state of FIG. 7A, and FIG. 8B is the state of FIG. 7B. It is a screen as a result of user B exchanging flags with user A. FIG. 8C shows the screen of the user C, but since the user C has not yet exchanged the flag, the same screen as in FIG. 7C is displayed.

  By repeating such processing (S190), for example, since user A is not exchanging with user C, flag information is exchanged between user A and user C, and user B is also exchanged. Is not exchanged with the user C, flag information is exchanged between the user B and the user C. Thus, each user exchanges flag information, so that an image without a concealment state is finally displayed on each portable terminal 3 and can be viewed.

  When the flag information is exchanged between the user A and the user C in the same process as described above, the image information in the area C is further displayed on the mobile terminal 3A of the user A. Further, the image information in the area A is further displayed on the mobile terminal 3C of the user C. FIG. 9A is a screen as a result of user A who has been in the state of FIG. 8A exchanging flags with user C, and FIG. 9C is the state of FIG. 8C. It is a screen as a result of the user C exchanging flags with the user A. FIG. 9B shows the screen of user B. Since user B has not yet exchanged the flag with user C, the same screen as in FIG. 8B is displayed.

Then, when flag information is exchanged between the user B and the user C in the same process as described above, the image information in the area C is further displayed on the mobile terminal 3B of the user B. Further, the image information in the area B is further displayed on the mobile terminal 3C of the user C.
FIG. 10B is a screen as a result of exchanging the flag with user C in the state of FIG. 9B, and FIG. 10C is the state of FIG. 9C. It is a screen as a result of the user C exchanging flags with the user B. FIG. 10A shows the screen of user A. Since user A has already displayed all the areas in the image information, the same screen as in FIG. 9A is displayed.

  Thus, image information can be displayed on the mobile terminal 3 of each user by exchanging flag information between the users. When exchanging flag information, communication with the other party is inevitably performed, so the present invention can be used as a highly entertaining communication tool. Further, unlike the prior art, the displayed image information can be displayed on one portable terminal 3, so that communication can be achieved with a user at a remote location.

In the above-described embodiment, the image selected by the image selection unit 4 is common to each user, but may be different. Even if they are different, only the flag information is exchanged between the mobile terminals 3 of the respective users, so that different images can be displayed on each mobile terminal 3. However, in this case, the number of areas divided by the area dividing means 6 needs to be the same among the users. The area identification information must be common or have a correspondence relationship.

According to the present invention, a completed image can be displayed on one portable terminal 3, so that the user can have a conversation with each other, play a game using the image, etc., and can communicate with each other. I can plan. In addition, since the image itself is displayed on each portable terminal, it is not necessary for the users to be close to each other as in the prior art, and an application system that can communicate with users at remote locations can be realized.
