  If it is determined that an operation for terminating the input of the e-mail has been performed (S203: yes), the process proceeds to a mail transmission process of an e-mail creation / transmission process (S108).

  If it is determined that the emotion expression sentence insertion key 7 has been pressed (S202: yes), the process returns to the e-mail creation / transmission process and shifts to the emotion mode designation process (S103) of the e-mail creation / transmission process.

  The emotion mode designation process (S103) will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of emotion mode designation processing. As shown in FIG. 11, when the emotion mode designation process is started, the value of e_mode stored in the emotion mode storage area 402 is initialized to 0 (S301).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a favorable mode is designated by operating the key input unit 3 (S302). When the favorable mode is designated (S302: yes), 1 is stored in the emotion mode storage area 402 as the value of e_mode (S304), and the process proceeds to the measurement value collection process (S105) of the e-mail creation / transmission process.

  When the favorable mode is not specified (S302: no), it is determined whether or not the disgust mode is specified by operating the key input unit 3 (S303). When the aversion mode is designated (S303: yes), 2 is stored in the emotion mode storage area 402 as the value of e_mode (S305), and the process returns to the e-mail creation / transmission process. The process proceeds to S105).

  When the disgust mode is not designated (S303: no), the process returns to the e-mail creation / transmission process, becomes no in S104, and proceeds to S108. That is, the process proceeds to the measurement value collection process while 0 is stored in the emotion mode storage area 402 as the value of e_mode.

  The measurement value collection process (S105) will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the measurement value collection process. As shown in FIG. 12, when the measurement value collection process is started, the sensing data storage buffer 403 is initialized (S501). Here, initialization means that all stored measurement values are set to zero.

  Next, the body temperature sensor 11, heart rate sensor 12, pressure sensor 13, and sweat sensor 14 are activated (S502).

  Here, each sensor measures in order of the body temperature sensor 11, the heart rate sensor 12, the pressure sensor 13, and the perspiration sensor 14. When each sensor measures, the measured value is immediately transmitted to the CPU 4. That is, the body temperature sensor 11 first measures and transmits the measured value to the CPU 4. When the body temperature sensor 11 finishes transmitting the measured value, the heart rate sensor 12 then measures and transmits the measured value to the CPU 4. When the heart rate sensor finishes transmitting the measurement value, the pressure sensor 13 next measures and transmits the measured value to the CPU 4. When the pressure sensor 13 finishes transmitting the measurement value, the perspiration sensor 14 measures next, and transmits the measured value to the CPU 4. When the sweating sensor 14 finishes transmitting the measurement value, the body temperature sensor 11 waits for 5 seconds and then measures again.

  After starting each sensor as described above in S1, the CPU 4 determines whether or not a measurement value from each sensor has been received (S503). When the measurement value is not received (S503: no), the process waits until the measurement value is received. When the measurement value is received (S503: yes), the measurement value is stored in the sensing data storage buffer 403 of the RAM 400 (S504).

  When the measured values are stored in the sensing data storage buffer 403, the CPU 4 determines whether the measured values from all the sensors are stored in the sensing data storage buffer 403 (S505). When the measured values of all the sensors are not stored (S505: no), the process returns to S503. When the measured values of all the sensors are stored (S505: yes), the process returns to the e-mail creation / transmission process, and the process proceeds to the emotion inference process (S106) of the e-mail creation / transmission process.

  The emotion inference process (S106) will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of emotion inference processing. As shown in FIG. 13, when the emotion inference process is started, the emotion state inference value storage area 405 is initialized (S601). Here, the initialization is to set the emotion state inference value stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405 to zero.

  Next, a body temperature state determination process (S602) is performed. Here, the state determination process will be described. FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of the body temperature state determination process. As shown in FIG. 14, when the body temperature state determination process is started, the value of the variable temp stored in the determination result storage area 404 is initialized to 0 (S621).

  It is determined whether the measured value of the body temperature sensor 11 stored in the sensing data storage buffer 403 is 36 ° C. or less (S622). When the measured value is equal to or lower than 36 ° C. (S622: yes), 1 is stored as the value of the variable temp in the determination result storage area 404 (S624), and the process proceeds to the next heart rate state determination process (S603).

  When the measured value is not 36 ° C. or lower (S622: no), it is determined whether or not the measured value is 36.5 ° C. or lower (S623). When the measured value is 36.5 ° C. or lower (S623: yes), 2 is stored as the value of the variable temp in the determination result storage area 404 (S625), and the process proceeds to the heart rate state determination process (S603).

  When the measured value is not 36.5 ° C. or less (S623: no), 3 is stored in the determination result storage area 404 as the value of the variable temp (S626), and the process proceeds to the heartbeat state determination process (S603).

  Next, the heart rate state determination process (S603) will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the heartbeat state determination process. As shown in FIG. 15, when the heartbeat state determination process is started, the value of the variable hbeat stored in the determination result storage area 404 is initialized to 0 (S631).

  It is determined whether or not the measured value of the heart rate sensor 12 stored in the sensing data storage buffer 403 is 75 times / minute or less (S632). When the measured value is 75 times / minute or less (S632: yes), 1 is stored in the determination result storage area 404 as the value of the variable hbeat (S634), and the process proceeds to the next pressure state determination process (S604).

  If the measured value is not 75 times / minute or less (S632: no), it is determined whether the measured value is 85 times / minute or less (S633). When the measured value is 85 times / minute or less (S633: yes), 2 is stored in the determination result storage area 404 as the value of the variable hbeat (S635), and the process proceeds to the pressure state determination process (S604).

  When the measured value is not less than 85 times / minute (S633: no), 3 is stored in the determination result storage area 404 as the value of the variable hbeat (S636), and the process proceeds to the pressure state determination process (S604).

  Next, the pressure state determination process (S604) will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the pressure state determination process. As shown in FIG. 16, when the pressure state determination process is started, the value of the variable press stored in the determination result storage area 404 is initialized to 0 (S641).

  It is determined whether or not the measured value of the pressure sensor 13 stored in the sensing data storage buffer 403 is 1 kg weight or less (S642). If the measured value is 1 kg weight or less (S642: yes), 1 is stored in the determination result storage area 404 as the value of the variable press (S644), and the process proceeds to the next sweating state determination process (S605).

  If the measured value is not 1 kg weight or less (S642: no), it is determined whether or not the measured value is 5 kg weight or less (S643). If the measured value is 5 kg weight or less (S643: yes), 2 is stored in the determination result storage area 404 as the value of the variable press (S645), and the process proceeds to the perspiration state determination process (S605).

  When the measured value is not 5 kg weight or less (S643: no), 3 is stored in the determination result storage area 404 as the value of the variable press (S646), and the process proceeds to the perspiration state determination process (S605).

  Next, the sweating state determination process (S605) will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the sweating state determination process. As shown in FIG. 17, when the sweating state determination process is started, the value of the variable sweat stored in the determination result storage area 404 is initialized to 0 (S651).

  It is determined whether or not the measured value of the sweat sensor 14 stored in the sensing data storage buffer 403 is 1 mg or less (S652). When the measured value is 1 mg or less (S652: yes), 1 is stored in the discrimination result storage area 404 as the value of the variable sweat (S654), and the process proceeds to the next process (S606).

  When the measured value is not 1 mg or less (S652: no), it is determined whether or not the measured value is 10 mg or less (S653). When the measured value is 10 mg or less (S653: yes), 2 is stored in the discrimination result storage area 404 as the value of the variable sweat (S655), and the process proceeds to the next process (S606).

  When the measured value is not 10 mg or less (S653: no), 3 is stored as the value of the variable sweat in the determination result storage area 404 (S656), and the process proceeds to the next process (S606).

  When the values of the four variables are stored in the discrimination result storage area 404 in the above-described steps S602 to S605, the values of the four variables stored in the discrimination result storage area 404 and the values stored in the emotion state inference table storage area 301 are stored. Based on the one emotion state inference table 311 or the second emotion state inference table 312, an emotion state inference value is calculated and stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405 (S606). At this time, the value of the variable e_mode stored in the emotion mode storage area 402 is referred to, and when the value of the variable e_mode is 1 (when the favorable mode is designated by the user), the first emotion state inference table 311 Is used to calculate the emotional state inference value. When the value of the variable e_mode is 2 (when the disgust mode is designated by the user), the emotion state inference value is calculated using the second emotion state inference table 312.

  If the combination of the values of the four variables stored in the discrimination result storage area 404 does not apply to any combination of the first emotion state inference table 311 or the second emotion state inference table 312, the emotion state inference Leave the value value at 0.

  In S606, after the emotion state inference value is stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405, the process returns to the e-mail creation / transmission process, and the process proceeds to the emotion expression sentence insertion process (S107).

  The emotion expression sentence insertion process (S107) will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart of emotion expression sentence insertion processing. As shown in FIG. 18, when the emotion expression sentence insertion process is started, the emotion state inference value stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405 and the emotion expression sentence table 321 stored in the emotion expression sentence table storage area 302 are displayed. Based on the above, the emotion expression text to be inserted into the e-mail is determined (S701). If the emotion state inference value stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405 is 0, it is determined not to insert an emotion expression sentence into the e-mail.

  Then, the second character data corresponding to the determined emotion expression text is stored in the text creation area 401 (S702). At this time, the third character data corresponding to the symbol “☆:” indicating that it is automatically input by the computer is also stored in the sentence creation area 401. More precisely, the second character data is stored after the third character data. The second character data and the third character data to be inserted are stored in the position of the sentence creation area 401 corresponding to the position of the cursor 8 (described later) when the emotion expression sentence insertion key 7 is pressed.

  In S701, since the emotional state inference value is 0, if it is determined not to insert the emotional expression text in the e-mail, nothing is stored in the text creation area 401 in S702.

  The mail transmission process (S108) will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the mail transmission process. As shown in FIG. 19, when the mail transmission process is started, it is determined whether or not a mail transmission operation has been performed by the key input unit 3 (S801). When an operation for mail transmission is performed (S801: yes), an electronic mail is transmitted from the transmission / reception unit 6 (S802), and the process returns to the electronic mail creation and transmission process.

  If the mail transmission operation is not performed (S801: no), the process returns to S102 of the e-mail creation / transmission process, and the e-mail is not transmitted.

  FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram of a screen during text input of an e-mail displayed on the display 2 in S201 described above. The display 2 displays a sentence corresponding to the sentence data stored in the sentence creation area 401. In this screen, a cursor 8 indicating the position being input is displayed. The cursor 8 moves to the next input position every time the first character data is input by the key input unit 3. Alternatively, when a cross button (not shown) of the key input unit 3 is operated, the cursor 8 at the input position designated by the cross button moves.

  When the emotion expression sentence insertion key 7 is pressed in the state of FIG. 20, the answer becomes yes in S202, and the emotion expression sentence is inserted with the symbol “☆:” at the position of the cursor 8 in FIG. The Since the symbol “☆:” is inserted in front of the emotional expression text in this way, the person who receives the e-mail is objectively input based on the user's biometric information or the environment surrounding the text creation device. It is possible to determine whether the character is a new character. The schematic diagram of the screen when the emotion expression text is inserted is shown in FIGS.

  Here, it is assumed that the measurement values measured in the measurement value collection process (S105) are a body temperature of 36.6 ° C., a heartbeat of 90 times / minute, a pressure of 10 kg weight, and a sweating amount of 3 mg. In this case, the value of the variable temp is 3 in the body temperature state determination process (S602) of the emotion inference process (S105), the value of the variable hbeat is 3 in the heart rate state determination process (S603), and the variable press in the pressure state determination process (S604). The value of 3 is calculated, and the value of the sweat state determination process (S605) variable sweat is calculated as 2.

  Accordingly, in the emotion mode designation process (S103) of the e-mail creation / transmission process, when the favorable mode is designated, the text “☆: I am very happy!” Is inserted as shown in FIG. Third character data and second character data indicating “☆: I am very happy!” Are stored at the position of the sentence creation area 401 corresponding to the position of the cursor 8 in FIG. When the disgust mode is designated, a sentence “☆: Very angry!” Is inserted as shown in FIG.

  In the first embodiment, the CPU 4 that executes S102 corresponds to the first storage control means of the present invention. The CPU 4 that executes S105 corresponds to the measurement value acquisition means of the present invention. The CPU 4 that executes S106 and S701 corresponds to the conversion means of the present invention. The CPU 4 that executes S106 corresponds to the inference means of the present invention.

  A second embodiment will be described. Although the emotion mode is selected in the first embodiment, a plurality of emotion expression sentence candidates are displayed on the display 2 in the second embodiment, and the user selects an emotion expression sentence to be inserted.

  In the second embodiment, the same components as those described in the first embodiment will be described using the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment. Here, the mobile phone 1 according to the first embodiment is described. Only different parts will be described.

  FIG. 23 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the mobile phone 100. The appearance of the mobile phone 100 is the same as that of the mobile phone 1 of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 23, a hard disk 350 and a RAM 450 are connected to the CPU 4 of the mobile phone 100 instead of the hard disk 300 and the RAM 400 in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 24 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the hard disk 350. As shown in FIG. 24, the hard disk 350 includes an emotion state inference table storage area 351 and an emotion expression table storage area 302. Since the emotion expression table storage area 302 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  The emotional state inference table storage area 351 stores the emotional state inference table 313. The emotion state inference table 313 is shown in FIG. The emotion state inference table 313 stores what kind of “emotional state” the values of the variables “temp”, “hbeat”, “press”, and “sweat” are. Since these four variables are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  In the second embodiment, the “emotional state” is “excited”, “goose bumps”, “slightly excited”, “favorable”, “great excitement”, “tragic”, “depressed”, “confused” 8 states are handled. The emotion state inference table 313 shown in FIG. 25 includes 8 items of “excited”, “goose bumps”, “slightly excited”, “favorable”, “great excitement”, “tragic”, “depressed”, and “confused”. The values of variables “temp”, “hbeat”, “press”, and “set” corresponding to the two states are associated with each other.

  In the emotion state inference table 313 shown in FIG. 25, when the variable temp is 3, the variable hbeat is 3, the variable press is 3, and the sweat is 2 or less, the emotional states “excited” and “excited” are associated with each other. It has been. In addition, when temp is 2 or less, hbeat is 2 or less, press is 2 or less, and sweat is 3, the emotional state “goose bumps” is associated. When temp is 3, hbeat is 2 or less, press is 2 or less, and sweat is 2 or less, “slight excitement” of the emotional state is associated. When temp is 2, hbeat is 2, press is 2, and sweat is 2, the emotional state “favorable” is associated. Also, when temp is 1, hbeat is 1, press is 3, and sweat is 2, the emotional state “sorrow” is associated. Further, when temp is 1, hbeat is 1, press is 1, and sweat is 1, the emotional state “depression” is associated. When temp is 2, hbeat is 3, press is 2, and sweat is 2, the emotional state “confused” is associated.

  As the emotional state inference values indicating the respective “emotional states”, “1” is associated with “excitement”, “2” is associated with “goose bumps”, and “3” is associated with “a little excitement”. Yes. “Favorite” is associated with “4”, “Excitement” is associated with “101”, “Sorrow” is associated with “102”, and “Depression” is associated with “103”. “Confusion” is associated with “104”. The emotion state inference value is used in the emotion expression sentence insertion processing.

  FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the RAM 450. As shown in FIG. 26, the RAM 450 includes a sentence creation area 401, a sensing data storage buffer 403, a discrimination result storage area 404, and an emotion state inference value storage area 405.

  Since the sentence creation area 401, the sensing data storage buffer 403, the discrimination result storage area 404, and the emotion state inference value storage area 405 are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  Next, a process for creating and sending an e-mail in the mobile phone 100 of the second embodiment will be described. The main process of the mobile phone 100 of the second embodiment is the same as the main process of the mobile phone 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the e-mail creation / transmission process in the second embodiment performed by the CPU 4.

  When the e-mail creation / transmission process is started, a mail creation process (S1102) is first executed. In the mail creation process, the input of the e-mail address, title, and text is accepted from the key input 3. Details of the mail creation process (S1102) of the second embodiment are the same as those of the mail creation process (S102) of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  If it is determined that the emotion expression sentence insertion key 7 has been pressed in the mail creation process, a measurement value collection process (S1105) is executed. In the measurement value collection process, measurement values from each sensor (body temperature sensor 11, heart rate sensor 12, pressure sensor 13, sweat sensor 14) are stored in the sensing data storage buffer 403. The details of the measurement value collection process (S1105) of the second embodiment are the same as those of the measurement value collection process (S105) of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  When the measurement value collection process ends, the emotion inference process (S1106) is executed. In the emotion inference process, the above-described emotion state inference value candidates are calculated based on the measured values from each sensor acquired in S1105 and stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405. Details of the emotion inference process (S1106) will be described later.

  When the emotion inference process is completed, an emotion expression sentence insertion process (S1107) is executed. In the emotion expression sentence insertion process, an emotion expression sentence to be inserted into the e-mail is determined based on the emotion state inference value candidates stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 406, and the emotion expression sentence is stored in the sentence creation area 401. The second character data shown is stored. The emotion expression sentence insertion process (S1107) will be described later.

  When the emotional expression sentence insertion process is completed, a mail transmission process (S1108) is executed. In the mail transmission process, in S1102 to S1107, the text data stored in the text creation area 401 is transmitted to the transmission partner as an electronic mail. The details of the mail transmission process (S1108) of the second embodiment are the same as those of the mail transmission process (S108) of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  When the mail transmission process ends, the process returns to the main process and proceeds to the next S14 (see FIG. 8). Hereinafter, emotion inference processing (S1106) and emotion expression sentence insertion processing (S1107) different from the first embodiment will be described in detail. In the second embodiment, since the user is not allowed to select the emotion mode, the processing corresponding to S103 and S104 in the first embodiment is not performed.

  The emotion inference process (S1106) will be described. FIG. 28 is a flowchart of emotion inference processing in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 28, when the emotion inference process is started, the emotion state inference value storage area 405 is initialized (S1601). Here, the initialization is to set the emotion state inference value stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405 to zero.

  Next, a body temperature state determination process (S1602) is performed. Since the body temperature state determination process (S1602) in the second embodiment is the same as the body temperature state determination process (S602) in the first embodiment, a description thereof will be omitted.

  Next, a heartbeat state determination process (S1603) is executed. Since the heart rate state determination process (S1603) in the second embodiment is the same as the heart rate state determination process (S603) in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, a pressure state determination process (S1604) is executed. Since the pressure state determination process (S1604) in the second embodiment is the same as the pressure state determination process (S604) in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  Next, a sweating state determination process (S1605) is executed. Since the sweating state determination process (S1605) in the second embodiment is the same as the sweating state determination process (S605) in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  When the values of the four variables are stored in the determination result storage area 404 in the above-described S1602 to S1605, the values of the four variables stored in the determination result storage area 404 and the emotion stored in the emotion state inference table storage area 351 are stored. Based on the state inference table 313, emotion state inference value candidates are calculated and stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405 (S1606).

  At this time, the combination of the values of the four variables stored in the determination result storage area 404 may correspond to a plurality of emotion states unlike the first embodiment, but in this case, all the corresponding emotions The emotion state inference value corresponding to the state is stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405.

  The emotion inference value candidate means an emotion inference value stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405 in this way.

  For example, when 3 is stored as temp, 3 as hbeat, 3 as press, and 2 as sweat are stored in the determination result storage area 404, “excited” and “large” are stored as emotional states by referring to the emotional state inference table 313. Both “excitement” apply. In this case, emotion state inference value storage area 405 stores both 1 and 101 as emotion state inference value candidates.

  If the combination of the values of the four variables stored in the discrimination result storage area 404 does not apply to any combination of the emotion state inference table 313, the value of the emotion state inference value remains 0. .

  In step S606, after the candidate emotional state inference value is stored in the emotional state inference value storage area 405, the process returns to the e-mail creation / transmission process, and the process proceeds to the emotional expression sentence insertion process (S1107).

  The emotion expression sentence insertion process (S1107) will be described. FIG. 29 is a flowchart of emotion expression sentence insertion processing in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 29, when the emotion expression sentence insertion processing is started, the candidate emotion state inference value stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405 and the emotion expression sentence stored in the emotion expression sentence table storage area 302 are displayed. Based on the table 321, a screen for displaying emotion expression sentence candidates corresponding to the candidate emotion inference values stored in the emotion state inference value storage area is displayed on the display 2 (S1701). If the emotion state inference value stored in the emotion state inference value storage area 405 is 0, the emotion expression sentence candidates are not displayed on the display 2.

  FIG. 30 shows a schematic diagram of a screen for displaying emotion expression sentence candidates. As shown in FIG. 30, candidates for emotion expression sentences are displayed in the window 9. The selected emotional expression text is highlighted. The emotion expression text is selected by the user operating the key input unit 3.

  When the CPU 4 accepts that any one is selected (S1702), the CPU 4 stores the second character data corresponding to the selected emotion expression text in the text creation area 401 (S1703). At this time, the third character data corresponding to the symbol “☆:” indicating that it is automatically input by the computer is also stored in the sentence creation area 401. More precisely, the second character data is stored after the third character data.

  In S1701, since the emotional state inference value is 0, if no emotional expression text is displayed on the display 2, the user cannot select the emotional expression text, so no response is accepted in S1702. The process advances to step S1703, and in step S1703, nothing is stored in the text creation area 401, and the process returns to the e-mail creation / transmission process.

  In the second embodiment, the CPU 4 that executes S1701 corresponds to the display control means of the present invention. The CPU 4 that executes S1702 corresponds to selection means of the present invention.
