Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a message generation support method and a mobile terminal which not only analyze the message sentence of mail or the like to determine its contents (feelings etc,) but also are capable of supporting generation of a next message sentence rich in expression taking the determination result, history information of mail exchanges, etc. into consideration. <P>SOLUTION: The mobile terminal analyzes a message to be replied to, received from the other party's terminal in a step S11 and calculates and acquires an assisting emphasis index obtained by quantizing a likability rating being an impression to be given to the other party of the message. When a user inputs a text in order to generate a message to be transmitted as a reply to the received message, the likability rating of the text is calculated, and the number of ornamental characters (pictographs/face marks), which corresponds to the history of quantized likability ratings of a series of messages transmitted to and received from the same other party's terminal, are additionally inserted to the message to be transmitted as a reply to the message to be replied to (S12 to S17). Thus generation of the message to be transmitted as the reply is supported in accordance with the history of likability ratings. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a message creation support method and a portable terminal, in particular, SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) in portable terminals such as a cellular phone and a personal handyphone system (PHS). Message creation for mobile devices that can send and receive messages based on e-mail (E-MAIL), near field communication (eg BLUETOOTH), infrared data communication (IrDA), or mobile devices that can be connected to the Internet or BLUETOOTH The present invention relates to a support method and a mobile terminal.

  At present, communication using E-MAIL and IMP (Instant Messaging Presence Services) using mobile terminals is widely spread. The messages sent and received by these use a lot of pictograms and emoticons. Compared to plain text messages that are purely composed of characters on a conventional personal computer (personal computer), The expression is rich.

  However, the communication by E-MAIL and IMP using a mobile terminal allows expressive and likable messages, but the disparity between text-only and unfavorable sentences becomes clear. In communication using messages, temperature differences are likely to occur. Due to this temperature difference, communication may be interrupted, and unexpected troubles such as quarrels in messages may occur.

  In other words, compared to verbal communication, written communication is harder to convey the sender's tension and nuances, and it often causes misunderstandings and unexpectedly offends the other party. For example, even if the sender A sends a pleasant message using a lot of pictograms and emoticons, the receiving side B replies with only the necessary part and responds with an unfriendly message containing just text. . A, who received a reply completely different from her own thoughts, was offended and replied with an unfriendly message that was like a different person from the first message. For the time being, the B side also responded again, but the mood on the A side does not recover and eventually communication is interrupted.

  Such a case is not limited in actual use. On the other hand, suppose that B notices that the second message from A suddenly changes from a message with good sensitivity using a lot of text and the first pictogram and emoticon. And if B recognizes that the first reply message sent by B was inappropriate and B sent a favorable message like A's first message in the second reply, then A ’s mood May have recovered and communication may have continued.

  In this way, messages such as E-MAIL using the current mobile phone are not just text, but are richly expressed by using pictographs and emoticons, but with text-only unfavorable sentences. The disparity becomes clear, and a temperature difference is likely to occur in communication using a message between the sender and the receiver. This temperature difference may cause communication to be interrupted and unexpected troubles such as quarrels on the message.

  In addition, when composing e-mails or entering chat text using a computer equipped with a chat function, it is possible to recognize emotions according to the individuality of the entered text. In addition, a sentence emotion recognition apparatus that enables emotion recognition by determining the emotion that a user has in an object has been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this emotion recognition device, the emotion vector generation unit obtains morpheme information (information on phrases, words, parts of speech, etc.) from the morpheme analysis unit for the input sentence, and refers to the basic emotion dictionary and the learning emotion dictionary. Thus, it has a function of calculating an emotion vector value (emotion value) of the entire sentence. By using this emotion recognition device, there is a possibility that the temperature difference in communication using a message between the sender and the receiver in the above case can be reduced.

  Further, the contents of the text data transmitted from the user are analyzed, and based on the analysis result, a background image and a font that match the contents of the text data are selected, and an image for a mobile terminal with the selected background image as a background is selected. 2. Description of the Related Art A data creation device that creates data is conventionally known (for example, see Patent Document 2). In the data creation device described in Patent Document 2, when a background image that matches the content of text data is selected, if the designated background image ID is not received, the text data classification or the text data theme, etc. An image matching the above is retrieved from the background images stored in the storage unit, and an image that most closely matches the analysis result is selected as the background image. By using this data creation device, there is a possibility that the temperature difference in communication using messages between the sender and the receiver in the above case can be reduced.

  Furthermore, since emoticons included in text sentences are freely created by an unspecified number of people, there is no fixed vocabulary, etc. unlike words, and new ones are always created. Because it is difficult to know the relationship in advance, it is possible to recognize emoticons from sentences containing emoticons consisting of various character combination patterns and replace the meaning expressed by emoticons with appropriate words A device for outputting a text voice is also known in the art (for example, see Patent Document 3).

  In the device described in Patent Document 3, an emoticon of text data input based on the emoticon parts table is specified, a character string (emoticon character string) of the specified emoticon is extracted, and the extracted emoticon character string is extracted. A method for determining the meaning (emotion etc.) and its strength (strength) based on a face part semantic table, a punctuation strength table, an emoticon meaning determination table, etc. is disclosed, and by using this device, Since the meaning and strength of the emoticon can be comprehensively determined, there is a possibility that the temperature difference in communication using a message between the sender and the receiver in the above case can be reduced.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-222294 (page 6) JP-A-2005-242790 (page 9, pages 12-13) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-284192 (6th page)

  However, the sentence emotion recognition apparatus described in Patent Document 1 acquires morpheme information (information on phrases, words, parts of speech, etc.) from the morpheme analysis unit for the input sentence, and refers to the basic emotion dictionary and the learning emotion dictionary. By calculating the emotion vector value (emotion value) of the entire sentence, the content of the sentence is merely evaluated by an index called the emotion vector value. Based on the above, it is not possible to support the communication by e-mail.

  In addition, the data creation apparatus described in Patent Document 2 selects a background image that matches the contents of text data. In addition to simply selecting a background image, the apparatus described in Patent Document 2 Supporting the creation of expressive e-mail texts based on exchange history information, etc., cannot support e-mail communication.

  Furthermore, in the voice output device described in Patent Document 3, the emoticon of the text data is specified, the character string of the specified emoticon (face character string) is extracted, the meaning (emotion etc.) of the extracted face character string, It is a device that determines and outputs the strength (strength) based on a face part meaning table, a punctuation strength table, a face character meaning determination table, and the like, and can evaluate the contents (emotions, etc.) of text data. The document described in Patent Document 3 also supports creation of expressive mail texts based on mail exchange history information and the like, and cannot support communication by mail.

  The present invention not only analyzes message sentences such as e-mails and judges their contents (emotions, etc.), but also creates the next message sentence that is expressive based on the judgment results and e-mail exchange history information. It is an object of the present invention to provide a message creation support method and a portable terminal that enable support.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a method for supporting creation of a message to be transmitted to a counterpart terminal, and is an impression that a reply target message received from the counterpart terminal is analyzed and given to the partner of the message. In the message that is sent in response to the reply target message, the number of the sentiment sent and received in response to the quantified favor history history of the series of messages sent and received with the same partner terminal. A step of inserting and adding characters (pictograms / emoticons), and supporting creation of a message to be transmitted in response to a history of favorability.

  In this invention, words used in messages, decorative characters (pictograms, emoticons, etc.) are analyzed to measure the message's favorability, and the history (transition) of favorability in message exchange (transmission / reception) is quantified. Therefore, it is possible to create a message support that defines the likability of the message to be transmitted in response to the histories (transitions) of likability.

  Here, the step of quantifying and calculating the favorability of the invention described above is performed for each predetermined word and for each decorative character (pictogram / emoticon) among a plurality of predetermined decorative characters (pictograms / emoticons). For each emoticon, the value of the likability is calculated from the analysis result of searching for a predetermined word or decoration character (pictogram / emoticon) in the reply target message using a table in which the likability value is associated. It is characterized by that.

  Further, the step of inserting and adding the decorative character according to the first aspect of the invention includes the first step of associating the likability with the auxiliary enhancement index based on the likability value calculated in the step of quantifying and calculating the likability. Based on the step of calculating the first supplementary reinforcement index from the table and the transition of the value of favorableness calculated for each of the plurality of messages transmitted and received with the partner terminal, A second step of calculating a second auxiliary reinforcement index from the associated second table, and a third step of adding the first and second auxiliary reinforcement indices to obtain a final auxiliary reinforcement index In addition, a decoration character for increasing the liking is inserted and added to the message to be sent in response to the reply target message by the number corresponding to the final value of the auxiliary reinforcement index acquired in the third step. The fourth step and Characterized in that it contains. In the present invention, it is possible to create a message support in which the responsiveness of the message to be transmitted in response is determined according to the auxiliary reinforcement index corresponding to the histories (transitions) of the likability.

  Further, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention sets the value of the auxiliary reinforcement index to a value larger than that when the value of likability is low compared to when the value of likability is high, and the second table is When the trend of likability changes in the direction of declining positivity, the value of the auxiliary reinforcement index is set to a larger value and the change is larger as compared to the case of increasing trend. It is set to the value which becomes. In the present invention, when the favorability is lowered, the value of the auxiliary reinforcement index is set to be larger than that when the favorability is changed. Therefore, the favorability of the response transmission message is set higher than before. In addition, since the value of the auxiliary reinforcement index is set to a larger value as the change in the favorableness change is larger, it is possible to support the creation of a response transmission message having the best favorable response corresponding to the positiveness change.

  In order to achieve the above object, the mobile terminal of the present invention is a mobile terminal provided with message creation support means for supporting creation of a message to be transmitted to the counterpart terminal, and the message creation support means is provided by the counterpart terminal. Analyzing the received reply target message and quantifying the favorable impression, which is the impression given to the other party of the message, and the quantified favorableness of the series of messages sent and received with the same partner terminal It is characterized by having insertion means for inserting decoration characters (pictograms / emoticons) into a message to be transmitted in response to a reply target message in a number corresponding to the history.

  In this invention, words used in messages, decorative characters (pictograms, emoticons, etc.) are analyzed to measure the message's favorability, and the history (transition) of favorability in message exchange (transmission / reception) is quantified. Therefore, it is possible to create a message support that defines the likability of the message to be transmitted in response to the histories (transitions) of likability.

  The present invention also includes an application for transmitting / receiving / saving / deleting / editing / displaying a message based on E-MAIL, MMS, SMS, etc. in a portable terminal. This application recognizes words, emoticons, and pictograms used in messages and analyzes messages in the form of likability. It also extracts the transition of likability from past email exchange histories. A function for controlling the preference of the next message to be transmitted from the function of transmitting to the user, the preference and the transition information thereof. A message is created on the first mobile terminal, transmitted to the second mobile terminal, and returned to the first mobile terminal. In the first portable terminal, the next message is created in consideration of the favorableness of the message created by itself and the favorable message of the message from the second portable terminal. Furthermore, the exchange of messages is repeated, and the transition of the favorability of the exchanged messages is quantified and transmitted to the user. Decorative characters such as pictographs / emoticons are automatically added in creating a message to be transmitted next, according to the transition of the preference of the reply target message and the preference of the message being exchanged. As a result, the creation of messages is supported by promoting an increase in the likability, and communication by messages in the mobile terminal is smoothed and activated.

  According to the present invention, the words used in the message, decorative characters (pictograms, emoticons, etc.) are analyzed to measure the message's favorability, and the history (transition) of the favorability in message exchange (transmission / reception) is measured. By quantifying, users can be advised to create the next e-mail, and automatically complement decorative characters (pictograms, emoticons, etc.) according to the history (trends) in favor. It is possible to support the creation of a message that is defined in a favorable manner that is expressive and fun and that the recipient can have a good feeling.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a main part of an embodiment of a portable terminal according to the present invention. 1, a mobile phone 1 as an example of a mobile terminal includes a central processing unit (CPU) 101, a communication control unit 102, a resource control unit 103, a read only memory (ROM) 104, mail data 105, key input control.

The Java 112 is an environment for executing the Java application 113. The Java application 113 has a function for performing a series of mail-related operations such as message creation, transmission / reception, and likability calculation, enables access to the mail data 105 via the ROM 104, and transmission / reception of mail via the communication control unit 102. Is possible. In this specification, mail and message are used synonymously.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the screen of the display unit 110 when inputting a message text. The input character is displayed and converted on the console 201 at the bottom of the screen, the character string that has been input / converted is inserted into the upper body, and the edited sentence 202 is displayed.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the screen of the display unit 110 showing the transition of the favorability of the message communicating with the counterpart terminal. As shown in the figure, a history transition indicating the number of message (mail) exchanges is displayed on the screen on the vertical axis and the horizontal axis indicates favorableness. The number of message exchanges is the total number of messages sent / received to / from the same party as the message (email) from the other party and the message that you have created and sent, but is not limited to this. The number of messages (email) of either one may be used. In addition, when exchanging messages (mails) with different parties, different history transitions are displayed.

  FIG. 4A shows an example of a table showing a correspondence between a decoration character (emoticon) and a word related to the decoration character, the number of likes, and an impression. FIG. 4B shows a decoration character (pictogram) and a word related to the decoration character (pictogram). An example of the table | surface showing the correspondence of the likability number is shown. The larger the value of the likability number, the better the sensitivity.

  Next, the operation of the embodiment of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 and the sequence diagram of FIG. FIG. 5 shows an example in which messages are exchanged between the mobile phones (mobile terminals) A and B of the present embodiment. First, the mobile terminal A creates a message # 1 using the Java application 113 (step S1 in FIG. 5) and transmits it to the mobile terminal B.

  The mobile terminal B receives the message # 1 from the mobile terminal A, analyzes the content, and calculates the favorability of the message # 1 using the Java application 113 (step S2 in FIG. 5). Subsequently, the portable terminal B creates a reply message # 2 with respect to the received message # 1 using the Java application 113 (step S3 in FIG. 5), and transmits it to the portable terminal A. The mobile terminal A receives the message # 2 from the mobile terminal B, analyzes the content, calculates the favorability of the message # 2 using the Java application 113 (step S4 in FIG. 5), and starts from the message # 1. The history of the change in the favorability is displayed on the screen of the display unit 110. The user of the mobile terminal A creates a reply message # 3 by using the Java application 113 in consideration of the transition of the favorability displayed on the screen (step S5 in FIG. 5), and transmits it to the mobile terminal A. . Thereafter, in the same manner, such message exchange is repeated (steps S6 to S10 in FIG. 5).

  Next, the process for creating a message to be transmitted in steps S1, S3, S5, S7, and S9 in FIG. 5 will be described in further detail with reference to the flowchart in FIG. Before starting to input a message, the Java application 113 calculates and pre-calculates it in the working memory 108 by using the auxiliary reinforcement index calculation method according to the flowchart of FIG. The stored auxiliary reinforcement index (index) indicating how much sentence correction is automatically performed is acquired (step S11 in FIG. 6). This supplementary strengthening index (index) is one for the message to be created. The higher the index value, the more decorative characters (pictograms) that have the effect of increasing the preference for text entered on the console screen. / Emoticon etc.) is automatically inserted.

  Subsequently, a character string is input to the console 201 in the screen shown in FIG. 2 of the display unit 110 of the portable terminal (step S12 in FIG. 6). The Java application 113 determines the character by editing the character string input to the console 201 on the screen of the console 201, and inserts it into the edited sentence (text) 202 shown in FIG. 2 (step in FIG. 6). S13). At this time, the Java application 113 analyzes the character string of the edited portion of the console 201, and the decorative character (pictogram / pictogram / image character) having an effect of increasing the preference according to the magnitude of the value of the auxiliary reinforcement index acquired in step S11. An emoticon or the like) is automatically added to the edited sentence (text) 202 using the correspondence table shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B (step S14 in FIG. 6).

For example, "I'm sorry for being late. I was busy. Thank you for waiting."
On the other hand, emoticons and pictograms are automatically added to improve as follows.

"I'm sorry to be late (c) I was busy with work (e) ( ^{;> _ <;} ).

Thank you for waiting (a) "
However, in the above sentence, (c) is an arbitrary one of the two pictograms indicated by c in FIG. 4 (B), (e) is a pictogram indicated by e in FIG. 4 (B), (a) 4B shows an arbitrary one of the three pictograms indicated by a in FIG. 4B, and these pictograms are inserted into the character string and displayed on the actual screen.

  Next, the cursor is sequentially placed on all automatically inserted decoration characters (pictograms and emoticons), and the user selects the following (1) to (3) (step S15 in FIG. 6). (1) Whether to insert a decoration character here (2) Whether to adopt an automatically inserted decoration character (3) Whether to select a candidate for another decoration character.

  After completing the user selection in step S15, the Java application 113 calculates the preference of the edited sentence 202 and shows it to the user (step S16 in FIG. 6). Subsequently, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the input has been completed (step S17 in FIG. 6). If the input has not been completed, the CPU 101 returns to step S12 to continue the input on the console 201, and when the input is completed. Complete message creation. All temporary data such as the favorability of the previous message and the transition of the favorability are stored in the work memory 108.

  Next, the auxiliary reinforcement index calculation process acquired in step S11 of FIG. 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the present embodiment, the Java application 113 calculates the auxiliary reinforcement index from the transition of the favorability of the reply target message (reply source message when replying) and the favorability of the exchanged message. Also, in this embodiment, the relationship between the positive response of the reply source message and the auxiliary strengthening index is shown in FIG. 8A, and the transition of the positive response of the last two cases (the reply source message and the last message sent by you) and the auxiliary Assume that the relationship of the strengthening index is set as shown in FIG. Note that the values of the last two favorability transitions in FIG. 8B indicate values obtained by subtracting the favorability of the previous message from the favorability of the immediately preceding message, and thus a negative value. Indicates a case where the favorability of the immediately preceding message has decreased from the favorability of the previous message.

  First, the Java application 113 calculates the favorability of the received reply message by a method described later, and calculates the auxiliary reinforcement index using the table of FIG. 8A according to the favorability (step S21 in FIG. 7). . Subsequently, an auxiliary strengthening index is calculated using the table of FIG. 8B from the transition of the two most favorable sensitivities (step S22 in FIG. 7). Subsequently, the sum of the auxiliary reinforcement indices calculated in step S21 and step S22 is taken to calculate the final auxiliary reinforcement index (step S23 in FIG. 7). The auxiliary reinforcement index finally calculated is stored in the work memory 108, for example.

  Next, the favorableness calculation process calculated in step S21 of FIG. 7 will be described in more detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The Java application 113 first analyzes words in the message body (step S31 in FIG. 9). Subsequently, the Java application 113 analyzes whether a pictograph / emoticon that is a decoration character exists in the message (step S32 in FIG. 9). Then, using the results of steps S31 and S32 and the tables shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B held by the Java application 113, the likability of the message body is calculated (step S33 in FIG. 9).

As a result, for example, the message body that is the target for calculating the likability is
“Good morning. It ’s good weather today.”
If there is no decoration character, the favorable rate is “0”. On the other hand, the message body that is subject to likability calculation processing is
“Good morning (^^). Good weather (f) today.”
Suppose that Note that (f) in the message text is the pictograph indicated by f in FIG. 4 (B). The emoticon (^^) in the message body has a favorite number “3” from the table in FIG. 4A, and the emoticon (f) has a favorite number from the table in FIG. 4B. Since it is “2”, the favorability of the entire message body is “5”. Further, in the present embodiment, the favorable sensitivity is “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, and if “5” is exceeded, “5” is handled.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of the change in favorability. Here, in the message transmission / reception shown in FIG. 5, the preference of message # 1 is “3”, the preference of message # 2 is “4”, the preference of message # 3 is “2”, and the preference of message # 4 It is assumed that the sensitivity is “1”. When the next message is transmitted following message # 4, since the favorability of the previous message (message # 4) is “1”, the auxiliary reinforcement index is “3” from step S21 and FIG. Favorability index of message # 3, “1” of message # 4, and the transition of the two most recent favourites are “−1”, so the auxiliary reinforcement index is determined from step S22 and FIG. 8 (B). “2”.

  The supplementary reinforcement index for creating message # 5 from step S23 is “5”, which is the sum of the supplementary reinforcement indices calculated in step S21 and step S22. The author is told that it is necessary to create a message with high likability. In FIG. 10, ▲ and × after message number # 5 indicate the following, respectively.

  ▲: When sending message # 5, notice that a highly sensitive message is sent, receive the support of automatically added emoji and emoticon, return a message with improved preference, to restore and continue communication An example of success.

  ×: Ignoring the need to send a message with high sensitivity when sending message # 5, but continued to reply with a non-preferred message, so communication was interrupted at the end of message # 5 This is an example.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the words used in the message and decorative characters (pictograms, emoticons, etc.) are indexed to measure the message's preference, and the transition of the preference in the message exchange can be measured. By quantifying, the user can be advised to create the next mail. In addition, according to the present embodiment, the sensitivities of mail (message), words that automatically improve the likability in the mail (message), decoration characters (pictograms, emoticons, etc.) By adding, it is possible to promote the creation of a mail (message) that is expressive, enjoyable, and has a good feeling for the recipient, and it is possible to establish communication by using a smoother mail (message).

  That is, in the conventional methods described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, since the next mail is created by using only the latest mail (message) as a judgment material, it is favorable from the other party that exchanges a series of mails. When a good (or bad) mail comes, it is not clear why such a good mail has come, so the next mail may be insensitive to the other person and the communication may be interrupted. is there.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the communication by mail, the reply mail of the other party is influenced by the previous mail, and the history of the favorability of the mail exchange maintains the communication. By using this favorable history (transition) as an important indicator, the other party's reply mail (message) is good (or bad) because the previous mail (message) It is possible to explicitly notify the user that it is caused by likability. Therefore, like this embodiment, the likability is automatically improved in the mail (message) according to the history (transition) of likability. By adding words to be used and decorative characters (emoticons, emoticons, etc.), it is possible to promote the creation of messages (messages) that are expressive, enjoyable, and have a good feeling for the recipient, and smooth messages (messages) Communication established by di) is possible. In addition, the display of favorable history may be used for talk topics and entertainment.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the present invention is not limited to messages such as SMS, MMS, E-MAIL, etc., but can be applied to message exchange by chat running on a browser. May be. In the above embodiment, the Java application is specified as the message processing application. However, this function may be provided in the mailer software in the terminal instead of Java. However, Java applications are more flexible because they can be downloaded more freely.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the history is limited to the two most recent messages. However, the history information may be reflected in a longer span without being limited to this. In the embodiment, both portable terminals A and B that perform communication are provided with a message creation support application based on favorableness. However, there is no necessity, and the portable terminal of the communication partner can send a normal mail. Only an application that performs only transmission and reception may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the mobile terminal is described as a mobile phone. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and SMS, MMS, e-mail (E-MAIL), near field communication (for example, BLUETOOTH), infrared The present invention can be applied to other portable terminals that can send and receive messages based on data communication (IrDA) or the like, or portable terminals that can be connected to the Internet or the BLUETOOTH network. The present invention also includes a computer program that causes a computer to sequentially execute each step in the flowchart shown in FIG.
