  According to the present invention, an e-mail can be referred to under a plurality of sorting conditions, so that the user can easily find a desired e-mail.

  A portable terminal 100 including an electronic mail apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 100 includes an operation unit 110, a display unit 120, a voice processing unit 130, a communication unit 140, a control unit 150, and a storage unit 160.

  The operation unit 110 receives an operation from the user. The operation unit 110 transmits an operation information signal from the user to the control unit 150. The user sets e-mail distribution conditions using the operation unit 110.

The display unit 120 displays e-mail information, various setting screens, and the like based on the control signal of the control unit 150.
The display unit 120 displays the e-mail for each folder corresponding to the sorting condition.

  The audio processing unit 130 receives audio input from the microphone 132 and transmits an audio signal to the control unit 150. The audio processing unit 130 receives an audio signal from the control unit 150 and outputs the audio signal to the outside through the speaker 131.

  Communication unit 140 is connected to antenna 141. The communication unit 140 receives e-mail data from the communication network via the antenna 141. The communication unit 140 transmits e-mail data to the communication network via the antenna 141. In addition, the communication unit 140 transmits and receives audio data via the antenna 141.

  The control unit 150 controls the operation of each unit of the mobile terminal 100. The control unit 150 executes each process to be described later based on a program stored in the storage unit 160. Note that each configuration of the mobile terminal 100 is connected to the control unit 150, and data exchange between the configurations is performed via the control unit 150.

  The storage unit 160 stores data for realizing the electronic mail function of the mobile terminal 100. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the storage unit 160 includes a received mail storage area 161, a transmitted mail storage area 162, a mail management table storage area 163, a setting condition storage area 164, and a program storage area 165. The

  The received mail storage area 161 is an area for storing e-mail data received by the communication unit 140.

  The outgoing mail storage area 162 is an area for storing electronic mail data transmitted from the communication unit 140.

  The mail management table storage area 163 is an area for storing the mail management table 200 for managing the distribution conditions of the electronic mail data stored in the received mail storage area 161 and the status of the electronic mail data.

The mail management table 200 includes a table as shown in FIG.
Each e-mail data stored in the received mail storage area 161 is given an index number by the control unit 150. Then, for each e-mail data assigned with an Index number, the control unit 150 determines whether the distribution condition is met.

  The determination result is reflected in the mail management table 200. In the example of FIG. 3A, for each index number, the state value when the distribution condition is met is “1”, and the state value when it does not match is “0”. If none of the sorting conditions is met, the status value of “no sorting” is “1”.

  The distribution condition can be arbitrarily set by the user by operating the operation unit 110. For example, a sender, an address book group, a subject, a character string included in the subject, a character string included in the text, and the like attached to the header of the e-mail can be set as the sorting condition.

  In the example of FIG. 3A, three sorting conditions are set, Index0 matches “sorting condition 1”, Index1 matches “sorting condition 2” and “sorting condition 3”, and Index2 , “Distribution Condition 2” is met, Index 3 and 5 and 6 are “Distribution Condition 1” and “Distribution Condition 2”, and Index 4 and 7 are not matched to any of the distribution conditions. ing.

  The mail management table 200 stores the status of the e-mail data. That is, it stores whether the email data is in an unread state, a read state, or a deletion state. In the mail management table 200, the status value “1” is stored as unread, “2” is read, and “3” is deleted.

  In this way, since the status of the e-mail stored in the reception storage area 161 is stored for each distribution condition by the mail management table 200, a desired e-mail can be easily searched from the distribution condition. E-mail processing status can be known for each condition.

  For example, when the mail management table 200 is in the state of FIG. 3B, it is displayed as shown in FIG. 4 in the folder corresponding to each sorting condition. Corresponding electronic mail information (subject, sender, time, etc.) is displayed in the Index number portion. Further, an unread e-mail is displayed so as to be distinguished from the read e-mail, such as being enlarged as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 4, “distribution condition 1” is distributed to the reception folder 1 (FIG. 4A), “distribution condition 2” is distributed to the reception folder 2 (FIG. 4B), and “distribution condition 3” is It is distributed to the reception folder 3 (FIG. 4C), and “no distribution” is set to be distributed to the reception tray (FIG. 4D).

The setting condition storage area 164 is an area for storing the distribution conditions of e-mail data and folders in association with each other.
The setting condition storage area 164 is an area for storing condition settings for the electronic mail function. The condition setting is stored in a condition setting table 210 as shown in FIG. The condition setting table 210 is a table for storing each condition setting flag and its value.

The flags include an unread distribution flag f1, a read flag f2, a deletion flag f3, an unread deletion flag f4, and a deletion distribution flag f5.
These flags can be set (flag value = 1) or reset (flag value = 0) by a predetermined operation of the operation unit 110 by the user. The condition setting can be changed by this operation.

  The unread distribution flag f1 is a flag for determining whether or not a received electronic mail is to be distributed even in an unread state.

  The read flag f2 is set to the read state even in other distribution conditions when the received mail that matches the plurality of distribution conditions is opened under one distribution condition and changes from the unread state to the read state. This is a flag for determining whether or not to set.

  The deletion flag f3 is used to determine whether or not to set a deletion state in other distribution conditions when a received mail that matches a plurality of distribution conditions is deleted in one distribution condition. Flag.

  The unread deletion flag f4 indicates whether a received mail that matches a plurality of distribution conditions is deleted according to one distribution condition, even if the received mail is unread under other distribution conditions. It is a flag for determining whether or not to set.

  The deletion distribution flag f5 is a flag for determining whether or not the received mail that is in the deleted state is also set to the read state when the redistribution process described later is performed.

  The program storage area 165 is an area for storing various programs executed by the control unit 150. The program storage area 165 stores basic software (so-called OS or the like) for controlling the operation of the entire mobile terminal 100, application software for realizing various functions of the mobile terminal 100, and the like.

  Next, the operation of the portable terminal 100 having the above configuration as a mail device will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, an operation for causing the user to set a default setting for the electronic mail function of the mobile terminal 100 will be described.

  When the mobile terminal 100 is initially activated or when an explicit operation is performed by the user, the control unit 150 executes a default setting process illustrated in FIG.

  First, the control unit 150 outputs a default setting screen to the display unit 120 (step S101).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the user has selected a setting for sorting unread received mail (step S102).

  If the setting for sorting unread received mail is selected (step S102; Yes), “1” is set to the unread sorting flag f1 (step S103).

  If the setting for sorting unread received mail is not selected (step S102; No), the unread sorting flag f1 is reset to “0” (step S104).

  Subsequently, when an unread mail that matches a plurality of distribution conditions is opened under one distribution condition, it is determined whether or not the user has selected a setting for setting the read state under all distribution conditions ( Step S105).

  When the setting is selected (step S105; Yes), “1” is set to the read flag f2 (step S106).

  When the setting is not selected (step S105; No), the read flag f2 is reset to “0” (step S107).

  Next, when a received mail that matches a plurality of distribution conditions is deleted under one distribution condition, it is determined whether or not the user has selected a setting for deletion under all distribution conditions (step S108). .

  When the setting is selected (step S108; Yes), “1” is set to the deletion flag f3 (step S109).

  When the setting is not selected (step S108; No), the deletion flag f3 is reset to “0” (step S110).

  Next, when a received mail that matches a plurality of distribution conditions is deleted under one distribution condition, whether or not the user has selected the setting to delete even if the received mail of other distribution conditions is unread Is determined (step S111).

  When the setting is selected (step S111; Yes), “1” is set to the unread deletion flag f4 (step S112).

  When the setting is not selected (step S111; No), the unread deletion flag f4 is reset to “0” (step S113).

  Next, when a redistribution process described later is performed, it is determined whether or not the user has selected a setting for redistributing the deleted received mail (step S114).

  When the setting is selected (step S114; Yes), “1” is set to the deletion distribution flag f5 (step S115).

  When the setting is not selected (step S114; No), the deletion distribution flag f5 is reset to “0” (step S116).

  This completes the default setting process. In this way, the user can make default settings for the email function.

  Next, an operation when the mobile terminal 100 receives an e-mail will be described.

  When receiving the electronic mail, the control unit 150 of the portable terminal 100 executes an electronic mail receiving process shown in FIG.

  In the e-mail receiving process, first, the control unit 150 associates an index number with the received e-mail data (step S11).

  Then, the electronic mail data is stored in the received mail storage area 161 (step S12).

  Subsequently, the control unit 150 adds the index of the received email data to the email management table 200 stored in the email management table storage area 163 (step S13).

  Next, the control unit 150 refers to the condition setting table 210 in the setting condition storage area 164 and determines whether or not the unread distribution flag f1 is set (step S14).

  When the unread distribution flag f1 is not set (step S14; No), the control unit 150 sets a status value “1” (unread) in “no distribution” in the mail management table 200 (step S16). Then, the process ends.

  When the unread distribution flag f1 is set (step S14; Yes), the control unit 150 executes the distribution process shown in FIG. 8 (step S15).

  In the sorting process, the control unit 150 first sets a status value “1” (unread) to “no sorting” in the mail management table 200 (step S21).

  Next, the state value “0” is set in all “sorting conditions (1 to n)” of the mail management table 200 (step S22).

  Then, the control unit 150 reads the sorting condition stored in the setting condition storage area 164 from the top (step S23).

  Subsequently, the control unit 150 determines whether or not a distribution condition exists (step S24).

  If there is no distribution condition in the setting condition storage area 164 (step S24; No), the process is terminated.

  When a distribution condition exists in the setting condition storage area 164 (step S24; Yes), it is determined whether or not the received e-mail data matches the distribution condition (step S25).

  If it does not match the distribution condition (step S25; No), the process returns to step S23 to read the next distribution condition.

  When the distribution condition is met (step S25; Yes), the state value “0” is set to “no distribution” in the mail management table 200 (step S26).

Further, a state value “1” (unread) is set in the matched distribution condition (step S27).
Then, the process returns to step S23 to read the next distribution condition.

  As described above, it is determined whether or not the received e-mail matches all the sorting conditions. If they match, the status value “1” (unread) is set in the sorting conditions.

  When all the sorting conditions have been determined, the sorting process is finished, and the mail receiving process shown in FIG. 7 is also finished.

FIG. 9 shows an example of distribution of received mail.
FIG. 9A shows an example in which the unread distribution flag f1 is not set. For the received mails with Index 0 to 2, no distribution is performed, and the status value of “no distribution” is “1” (unread). Become.

  FIG. 9B shows an example in which the unread distribution flag f1 is set and unread received mail is distributed. The received mail of Index0 matches the “sorting condition 1” and the received mail of Index1 is “distributed”. This is an example in which “condition 2” matches “sorting condition 3” and the received mail of Index 2 does not match any sort condition.

  In this way, the received mail can be sorted by the mail management table 200. Depending on the setting, unread mail can be prevented from being sorted.

  Next, an operation when the state value is set to read when the user opens an unread received mail will be described.

  When the user operates the operation unit 110 to open an unread received mail, the control unit 150 executes the already-read process shown in FIG.

  In the read process, first, the control unit 150 sets the status value of the sorting condition corresponding to the folder in which the unread received mail is opened in the mail management table 200 to “2” (read) (step S31).

  Next, the control unit 150 refers to the condition setting table 210 in the setting condition storage area 164 and determines whether or not the read flag f2 is set (step S32).

  When the already-read flag f2 is set (step S32; Yes), the state value of the other distribution condition is also set to “2” (read) (step S33).

  When the read flag f2 is not set (step S32; No), or when the process of step S33 ends, the read process ends.

FIG. 11 shows a specific example of the read process. FIG. 11 shows an example in which an unread mail of Index1 is opened from a folder corresponding to “sorting condition 2”.
FIG. 11A shows an example in which the read flag f2 is not set. Only the state value of “sorting condition 2” is set to “2” (read).

  FIG. 11B is an example in the case where the read flag f2 is set, and not only “sorting condition 2” but also the state value of “sorting condition 3” is set to “2” (read). .

  In this way, it is possible to perform the read processing of unread mail according to the setting of the read flag f2. Therefore, for example, when the read flag f2 is set, if an email is in a read state under one distribution condition, the electronic mail is already read in another distribution condition. You can know that the mail has been read.

  Next, an operation when the user deletes the received mail will be described.

  When the user operates the operation unit 110 to delete the received mail, the control unit 150 executes a deletion process shown in FIG.

  In the deletion process, first, the control unit 150 refers to the condition setting table 210 in the setting condition storage area 164 to determine whether or not the deletion flag f3 is set (step S41).

  When the deletion flag f3 is not set (step S41; No), the state value of the corresponding part of the mail management table 200 is set to “3” (deletion) (step S42).

  Next, it is determined whether or not “1” (unread) or “2” (read) exists in the status value of the other sorting condition of the received mail that has been deleted (step S43).

  If “1” (unread) or “2” (read) exists in the state values of the other sorting conditions (step S43; Yes), the deletion process ends.

  When “1” (unread) or “2” (read) does not exist in the state values of the other sorting conditions (step S43; No), the process of step S45 described later is performed.

  When the deletion flag f3 is set (step S41; Yes), the control unit 150 refers to the condition setting table 210 in the setting condition storage area 164 and determines whether or not the unread deletion flag f4 is set. (Step S44).

  When the unread deletion flag f4 is set (step S44; Yes), the control unit 150 deletes the corresponding mail line from the mail management table 200 (step S45).

  Then, the deleted e-mail data is deleted from the received mail storage area 161 (step S46), and the deletion process is terminated.

  When the unread deletion flag f4 is not set (step S44; No), the control unit 150 determines whether or not “1” (unread) exists in the state values of other sorting conditions (step S47).

  If “1” (unread) does not exist in the state values of the other distribution conditions (step S47; No), the process proceeds to step S45.

  When “1” (unread) exists in the state values of the other distribution conditions (step S47; Yes), the control unit 150 sets the state value of the distribution condition whose state value is “2” (read) to “3”. "(Deletion)" (step S48), and the deletion process ends.

FIG. 13 shows a specific example of changing the mail management table 200 by deletion processing. FIG. 13 shows an example in which the received mail of Index1 is deleted from the folder corresponding to “sorting condition 2”.
FIG. 13A shows an example in which the deletion flag f3 is not set, and only the state value of “sorting condition 2” is set to the state value “3” (deletion).

  FIGS. 13B and 13C are examples when the deletion flag f3 is set and the unread deletion flag f4 is not set. In FIG. 13B, not only “sorting condition 2”, but also the status value of “sorting condition 1” is set to “3” (deletion), but “sorting condition 3” has a status value “1” (unread ) So do not delete.

  In FIG. 13C, since the status value of all the sorting conditions is “2” (read), the index 1 row is deleted and the index is filled. Further, the corresponding received mail is deleted from the received mail storage area 161.

  FIG. 13D shows an example in which the deletion flag f3 and the unread deletion flag f4 are set. The row of Index1 is deleted including the unread and the Index is packed. Then, the corresponding received mail is deleted from the received mail storage area 161.

  As described above, the deletion process according to the setting condition can be executed.

  Next, an operation when the user operates the operation unit 110 to sort received mail again after changing the sorting condition will be described.

  When the user operates the operation unit 110 to specify a received mail and perform redistribution, the control unit 150 executes redistribution processing illustrated in FIG.

  In the redistribution process, the control unit 150 first determines whether the status value of “no distribution” in the mail management table 200 is “1” (unread) (step S51).

  If the status value of “no distribution” is “1” (unread) (step S51; Yes), it is determined whether or not the unread distribution flag f1 is set (step S52).

  If the unread distribution flag f1 is not set (step S52; No), the redistribution process is terminated.

  When the unread distribution flag f1 is set (step S52; Yes), or when the status value of “no distribution” is not “1” (unread) (step S51; No), the control unit 150 sets The sorting conditions stored in the condition storage area 164 are read from the top (step S53).

  Subsequently, the control unit 150 determines whether or not a distribution condition exists (step S54).

  When the distribution condition no longer exists in the setting condition storage area 164 (step S54; No), the redistribution process is terminated.

  If there is a distribution condition in the setting condition storage area 164 (step S54; Yes), it is determined whether or not the designated e-mail data matches the distribution condition (step S55).

  If it does not match the distribution condition (step S55; No), the process returns to step S53 to read the next distribution condition.

  If it matches the distribution condition (step S55; Yes), it is determined whether or not the state value of the distribution condition is “0” (step S56).

  When the state value is “0” (step S56; Yes), it is determined whether the state value of other distribution conditions including “no distribution” is “0” or “1” (unread) ( Step S57).

  When the status value of “no sorting” and other sorting conditions is “0” or “1” (unread) (step S57; Yes), the e-mail is unread, so the matching sort condition status value Is set to “1” (unread) (step S58).

  If the status values of “no sorting” and other sorting conditions are not “0” or “1” (unread) (step S57; No), since the e-mail has been read, the status values of the matching sorting conditions Is set to “2” (read) (step S61).

  On the other hand, when the state value of the matched distribution condition is not “0” (step S56; No), it is determined whether or not the state value is “3” (deleted) (step S59).

  If the state value is not “3” (deleted) (step S59; No), the process returns to step S53 to read the next distribution condition.

  If the state value is “3” (deleted) (step S59; Yes), it is determined whether or not the deletion distribution flag f5 is set (step S60).

  If the deletion distribution flag f5 is not set (step S60; No), the process returns to step S53 in order to read the next distribution condition.

  If the deletion distribution flag f5 is set (step S60; Yes), “2” (read) is set as the state value of the matched distribution condition (step S61).

  When the state value is set in step S58 or step S61, the process returns to step S53 in order to read the next distribution condition.

  By repeating the processing of steps S53 to S60, it is possible to determine all the distribution conditions and perform redistribution.

  When the determination of all the distribution conditions is completed (Step S54; No), the redistribution process is ended.

FIG. 15 shows a specific example of changing the mail management table by redistribution processing.
FIG. 15A shows an example when the unread distribution flag is not set. The index 0 received mail has a status value “1” (unread) for “no sorting”, so no sorting is performed even if the sorting conditions match. Since the index 1 received mail has a status value “2” (read), it is sorted. In this example, it is consistent with “distribution conditions 2 to 4” and the distribution is performed.

  FIG. 15B is an example when the state value of the distribution destination is “0”. This is an example when the received mails of Index0 and Index1 match “sorting condition 3”. Since the status value of other sort conditions is “1” (unread) for Index0, “sorting condition 3” to be newly sorted The status value of “1” is also set to “1” (unread). In Index1, since the status value of the other sorting condition is “2” (read), the status value of “sorting condition 3” is also set to “2” (read).

  FIG. 15C shows an example in which the status value of the distribution destination is “3” (deleted) and the deletion distribution flag f5 is set. In this example, the received mail of Index1 matches “sorting condition 1” and “sorting condition 2”. In this case, the status value is changed from “3” (deleted) to “2” (read).

  FIG. 15D shows an example where the state value of the distribution destination is “3” (deleted) and the deletion distribution flag f5 is not set. In this case, even if the received mail of Index1 matches “sorting condition 1” and “sorting condition 2”, the status value is not changed from “3” (deleted).

  As described above, the redistribution process according to the setting condition can be executed.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation and application are possible.

  In the above embodiment, the condition setting is determined by the flag set by the default setting process. However, the user may be allowed to select a condition on each processing flow.

In the above embodiment, the received mail is automatically sorted and re-sorted. However, the received mail can be manually sorted by operating the operation unit 110.
For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, the user operates the operation unit 110 to copy the received mail of Index 1 of “sorting condition 1” to “sorting condition 3”. "2" (read) can be set. Also, as shown in FIG. 16B, the user operates the operation unit 110 to move the received mail of Index1 of “sorting condition 1” to “sorting condition 3”. Can be changed to “2” (read) and the status value of “sorting condition 1” can be changed to “3” (deleted).

  In the above embodiment, the distribution of the received mail has been described. However, the same distribution can be performed for the transmitted mail using the mail management table 220 for transmission as shown in FIG. In this state value, for example, “1” indicates not transmitted, “2” indicates transmitted, and “3” indicates deletion.

  In the above embodiment, the program executed by the control unit 150 is stored in advance in the program storage area 165 of the storage unit 160, but may be stored in the program storage area 165 via a communication network.
