When the delivery timing (timing t22) of the delivery content C3 is approaching at the start of the voice call, the following control is performed.

  The control unit 203 stores the voice call data V3 between the determination timing (timing t21) before a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes) and the distribution timing before the distribution timing (timing t22) stored in the storage unit 209. Control whether or not to transmit voice call data V3 based on the contents of voice call data V3 (transmission non-distribution information) or distribution contents C3 (target distribution information) when an operation that requires transmission is performed To do.

  The control unit 203 can transmit the voice call data V3 when the distribution content C3 is redistributed after the timing t22 (timing t23). In addition, when the distribution content C3 is not redistributed after the timing t22, the control unit 203 can also notify that the distribution content C3 is not redistributed prior to the transmission of the voice call data V3.

  In addition, the control unit 203 transmits the voice call data V3 when the name of the distribution content C3 stored in the storage unit 209, for example, the program name to be distributed (priority distribution information identifier) matches the distribution content C3. The distribution content C3 can be received.

  Furthermore, the control unit 203 can also control whether or not to transmit the voice call data V3 based on a transmission destination identifier (for example, a telephone number) indicating the transmission destination of the voice call data V3.

  The communication processing unit 205 executes processing related to transmission or reception of non-distribution information (for example, voice call data V1) other than distribution information (for example, distribution content C1).

  The BCMCS processing unit 207 receives distribution information distributed by the content server 130. In the present embodiment, the BCMCS processing unit 207 constitutes a distribution information processing unit.

  Specifically, the BCMCS processing unit 207 receives the same content distributed simultaneously to a plurality of transmission destinations using broadcast or multicast according to the specifications of BCMCS (broadcast / multicast services).

  The storage unit 209 stores a telephone number, an email address (destination identifier), an email, and the like. The storage unit 209 has priority over the delivery timing of delivery information (for example, timing t13 shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C) and transmission or reception of non-delivery information (eg, voice call data V2). Thus, the name (priority distribution information identifier) of the distribution content to be received can be stored.

  The operation unit 211 includes various keys and a vibrator operated by the user of the wireless communication terminal 200A.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the operation unit 211 includes an unreceived portion C1a (FIG. 7B, (c) that has not yet been received among the distribution content C1 (received distribution information) received by the BCMCS processing unit 207. )) Is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the user of the wireless communication terminal 200A selects either the continuous reception of the distribution content C1 or the transmission of the voice call data V1.

Let the user choose.

  In step S220, the radio communication terminal 200A determines which one of the “delivery content reception”, “end call”, or “continuation” is selected by the user.

  When “distributed content reception” is selected (“distributed content reception” in step S220), in step S230, the radio communication terminal 200A sets the call path set for voice call immediately before the reception of the distributed content C2 is started. Forcibly disconnect.

  Specifically, the radio communication terminal 200A forcibly disconnects the communication path used for transmission / reception of the voice call data V2 at timing t12 (see FIG. 8B).

  When “end call” is selected (“end call” in step S220), in step S240, the radio communication terminal 200A determines the call path set for voice call according to the user's end call operation. Disconnect.

  Specifically, the radio communication terminal 200A disconnects the call path used for transmission / reception of the voice call data V2 before the timing t13 (see FIG. 8A) that is the distribution start time.

  In step S250, the wireless communication terminal 200A displays that it is waiting to receive the distribution content C2.

  In step S260, when the distribution start time (timing t13) of the distribution content C2 comes, the wireless communication terminal 200A starts receiving the distribution content C2 and displays that the distribution content C2 is being received.

  On the other hand, when “continuation” is selected (“continuation” in step S220), in step S270, the wireless communication terminal 200A determines whether or not the distribution content C2 (program) is redistributed.

  When the distribution content C2 is not redistributed (“No redistribution” in step S270), in step S280, the wireless communication terminal 200A determines the distribution content C2 associated with the missed reception opportunity of the distribution content C2 due to the continuation of the voice call. Execute reception failure processing.

  When distribution content C2 is redistributed (“with redistribution” in step S270), in step S290, wireless communication terminal 200A executes rescheduling processing for reception of distribution content C2.

  Specifically, when distribution content C2 is redistributed at timing t14 (see FIG. 8C), radio communication terminal 200A changes the reception schedule so as to start receiving distribution content C2 from timing t14. .

  Here, FIG. 14B shows an example of a screen displayed in step S290. As illustrated in FIG. 14B, the radio communication terminal 200A displays that the distribution content C2 is redistributed and that the distribution content C2 is rescheduled.

(3) Reception of Distribution Information at Start of Voice Call FIG. 6 shows an operation flow when the wireless communication terminal 200A is approaching the distribution time of distribution information distributed by BCMCS at the start of a voice call. FIGS. 9A to 9C show states of distribution content C3 (distribution information) and voice call data V3 transmitted or received by the radio communication terminal 200A.

  In step S310, when the start of a voice call is requested by the user, specifically, when a voice call outgoing operation is performed, the wireless communication terminal 200A approaches the distribution start time of the distribution content C3 to be received. Is displayed. Specifically, when a transmission operation is performed between timing t21 and timing t22 (see FIG. 9A), wireless communication terminal 200A displays that the distribution start time of distribution content C3 is approaching. To do.

  Specifically, the radio communication terminal 200A allows the user to select either “transmission cancellation” for canceling the outgoing voice call or “reception cancellation” for canceling the reception of the distribution content C3.

  In step S320, the radio communication terminal 200A determines which one of “cancel transmission” or “cancel reception” is selected by the user.

  When “call cancel” is selected (“call cancel” in step S320), the wireless communication terminal 200A executes the processes of steps S330 and S340. Steps S330 and S340 are substantially the same as steps S250 and S260 (see FIG. 5).

  When “reception cancellation” is selected (“reception cancellation” in step S320), the wireless communication terminal 200A executes the processes of steps S350 to S370. The processing in steps S350 to S370 is substantially the same as the processing in steps S270 to S290 (see FIG. 5).

  In the process of step S370, when the distribution content C3 is redistributed at timing t23 (see FIG. 9C), the wireless communication terminal 200A changes the reception schedule so as to start receiving the distribution content C2 from timing t23. To do.

  In step S380, radio communication terminal 200A transmits to the designated telephone number. Thereafter, transmission / reception of the voice call data V3 using the call path set by the call operation is continued after timing t22, which is the distribution start time of the distribution content C3 (see FIGS. 9B and 9C). ).

(4) Modification Example In the operation flows shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the distribution content is not redistributed, the reception failure process is executed without receiving the distribution content (steps S280 and S360).

  The radio communication terminal 200A may forcibly receive distribution content that is not redistributed, instead of executing the reception failure process. Here, FIG. 15A shows an example of a screen that is displayed when the distribution content that is not redistributed is forcibly received.

  Also, the wireless communication terminal 200A may forcibly receive the distribution content according to the information amount of the distribution content regardless of whether or not the redistribution is performed. Here, FIG. 15B shows an example of a screen displayed when the distribution content is forcibly received according to the information amount of the trusted content.

(Action / Effect)
According to the wireless communication terminal 200A, in the case where the reception of the distribution content and the voice call compete with each other, depending on the state of the distribution content (for example, the information amount of the unreceived portion C1a and whether the distribution content is redistributed). It is determined whether or not to receive the distribution content without any user operation.

  Further, according to the wireless communication terminal 200A, the user can select, with a simple operation, whether to receive the distribution content or the voice call when the reception of the distribution content competes with the voice call. .

  That is, according to the wireless communication terminal 200A, even if the wireless communication unit 201 is shared by receiving distribution content (distribution information) and transmitting or receiving voice call data (non-distribution information), In addition, the operability of the radio communication terminal 200 </ b> A can be improved when competing with a voice call. Furthermore, according to the radio communication terminal 200A, it is possible to receive necessary distribution content more reliably.
