Description

  The present invention relates to an information presentation control device that controls a device that presents various types of information such as incoming calls and alarms, and more particularly to an information presentation control device that can be used in a portable electronic device.

  With the expansion of the mobile phone service area, it has become possible to communicate and make calls using mobile phone terminals in various places and time zones. However, depending on the situation of the user, incoming calls to the mobile phone terminal may adversely affect the surroundings. For example, if the incoming call notification sound rings at a high volume in a train vehicle, it may lead to the discomfort of surrounding passengers.

  In order to deal with such problems, mobile phone terminals that can change the notification type of incoming calls according to the surrounding situation have been commercialized from an early stage. For example, in a mobile phone terminal having a manner mode function, a user can select whether to notify an incoming call by either sound or vibration according to the surrounding situation.

  However, the conventional mobile phone terminal, in which the user manually switches the notification type of incoming calls, is complicated because the user needs to perform switching operations one by one in accordance with changes in surrounding conditions. In addition, there is a risk that the incoming call notification sound will be heard at a high volume against the user's intention due to forgetting to switch, causing trouble to the surroundings.

In order to solve such problems, conventionally, a technique has been proposed in which the incoming call notification type is automatically changed according to the surrounding situation. For example, the volume control device disclosed in Patent Document 1 detects the presence of another mobile phone terminal equipped with a short-range wireless communication function outside the user's mobile phone terminal, and receives an incoming call notification sound of the own terminal. Automatically adjusts the volume. According to the present invention, when it is detected that a mobile phone terminal exists in the vicinity, it is determined that there is another person who has the mobile phone terminal around the user, and an incoming call of the mobile phone terminal held by the user is received. Since the volume of the notification sound can be automatically reduced, it is possible to prevent the surroundings from being disturbed by a large volume incoming notification sound.
JP 2004-32394 A (page 12, FIG. 3)

  However, in the above-described conventional device, for example, when a user is moving on foot in a crowd where there are many people who have mobile phone terminals around the user, the incoming call is automatically received. Since the volume of the notification sound is reduced, the incoming call notification sound is drowned out by the noise, causing a problem that the user does not notice the incoming call.

  In addition, whether or not a person can endure an incoming notification sound that rings near you depends not only on the ambient noise level, time of day, and whether it is indoors or outdoors, but also environmental conditions. Psychological conditions such as each person's judgment criteria and whether or not the person was expecting that "the incoming call notification sound might sound" when listening to the incoming call notification sound (hereinafter referred to as "psychological preparation state") It is also known that the above changes.

  Here, the configuration of the peripheral device 200 that is a communication partner when the short-range wireless communication unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention performs wireless communication will be briefly described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration of the peripheral device 200 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. 4, the peripheral device 200 includes a second short-range wireless communication unit 11-2, a second information presentation type determination unit 21-2, an information presentation device 4, a wireless communication unit 51, a speaker 52, a microphone 53, and an operation input. The means 60 is constituted. Note that the same configuration as that of the mobile phone terminal 100 in FIG. 2 will be omitted because it will be redundantly described, and a configuration different from the mobile phone terminal 100 in FIG.

  The operation input means 60 receives a user operation input and outputs an operation input signal 601.

  The second information presentation type determination means 21-2 is based on an operation input signal 601 representing a setting operation instructing the user to select “normal notification” or “silent notification” when notifying an incoming call. The notification type is determined. In addition, the second information presentation type determination unit 21-2 selects a notification type in the information presentation apparatus 4 provided in the peripheral device 200, and “notification sound = ON” or “notification sound = OFF”, respectively. Is output as the notification type instruction 211.

  The second short-range wireless communication unit 11-2 wirelessly communicates with the mobile phone terminal existing at a short distance, and sends the notification type information 121 indicating the notification type in the information presentation device 4 in the peripheral device 200 to the mobile phone terminal 100. Send.

  Note that the second short-range wireless communication unit 11-2 in the peripheral device 200 shown in FIG. 4 uses a technique already known in a mobile phone terminal or the like that performs short-range communication using, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark). Since it is configurable, a detailed description is not described herein. In addition, the operation input unit 60 and the second information presentation type determination unit 21-2 in the peripheral device 200 set the notification type to one of “normal notification” and “silent notification” based on the manual operation of the user. Since it is the same as the mechanism provided in the conventional mobile phone terminal that can be set, detailed description is not described in this specification.

 Hereinafter, the operation of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the short-range wireless communication means 11 of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  The short-range wireless communication unit 11 first searches for a peripheral device existing at a short distance (step S101). When the short-range wireless communication unit 11 detects the peripheral device (step S102, YES), it establishes a wireless communication connection with the detected peripheral device (step S111). On the other hand, if the short-range wireless communication unit 11 does not detect the peripheral device (NO in step S102), the short-range wireless communication unit 11 outputs information “non-detection” indicating that the peripheral device is not detected as the acquisition result information 111. Return to the search (step S101).

  The short-range wireless communication unit 11 inquires about a notification type in the peripheral device by establishing a wireless communication connection with the detected peripheral device and then transmitting a setting information acquisition request to the peripheral device. The setting information acquisition request is made by the short-range wireless communication unit 11 transmitting the command “AT + CALM?” To the second short-range wireless communication unit 11-2 of the peripheral device. The short-range wireless communication unit 11 uses either a response “+ CALM: 1” indicating “silent notification (notification sound = OFF)” or a response “+ CALM: 0” indicating “normal notification (notification sound = ON)”. The notification type in the peripheral device is acquired by receiving from the device (step S112).

  Next, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 outputs the notification type acquired from the peripheral device as the acquisition result information 111 (step S113). Further, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 releases the connection with the connected peripheral device (step S117), and returns to the search for the peripheral device (step S101).

  The processing of searching for a peripheral device (step S101), establishing a connection with the peripheral device (step S111), and releasing the connection with the peripheral device (step S117) in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is, for example, in Bluetooth (registered trademark). Since it can be easily executed using processing, detailed description in this specification will be omitted.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the information presentation type determination means 21 of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  When the information presentation type determination unit 21 receives the acquisition result information 111 output from the short-range wireless communication unit 11, the information presentation type determination unit 21 starts the process illustrated in FIG. 6.

  First, the information presentation type determination unit 21 determines whether a peripheral device has been detected based on the acquisition result information 111 (step S201). When the peripheral device is not detected (step S201, NO), that is, when the acquisition result information 111 is “non-detection”, the process proceeds to step S231, and when the peripheral device is detected (step S201, YES), that is, the acquisition result. If the information 111 is “notification sound = ON” or “notification sound = OFF”, the process proceeds to step S211.

  When the peripheral device is detected (step S201, YES), the information presentation type determination unit 21 determines whether the notification type indicated by the acquisition result information 111 is “normal notification” or “silent notification” (step S211). ), If normal notification (“notification sound = ON”), the process proceeds to step S221; if silence notification (“notification sound = OFF”), the process proceeds to step S241.

  When the notification type indicated by the acquisition result information 111 is “silent notification” (step S211, silent notification), in step S241 the information presentation type determination unit 21 sets the notification type in the information presentation device 4 of the mobile phone terminal 100 as silent notification ( In step S242, the timeout time Ts of the time measuring means 70 is set to, for example, “60 seconds”, and measurement of the elapsed time since the notification type is set to “silent notification” is started. Instructs the time counting means 70. Further, in step S251, the information presentation type determination means 21 outputs the notification type determined in step S241 as the notification type instruction 211 and ends the process.

  On the other hand, when the notification type indicated by the acquisition result information 111 is “normal notification” (step S211, normal notification), the information presentation type determination unit 21 acquires time information 701 from the time measuring unit 70 in step S221. Next, the information presentation type determination means 21 determines whether or not the elapsed time has already reached the timeout time Ts (step S222). If the timeout time Ts has elapsed (step S222, YES), the process proceeds to step S231. If it has not elapsed (step S222, NO), the process ends.

  When the elapsed time exceeds the timeout time Ts (step S222, YES), or when the peripheral device is not detected (step S201, NO), the information presentation type determination unit 21 of the mobile phone terminal 100 in step S231 The notification type in the information presentation device 4 is determined to be a normal notification (“notification sound = ON”). Further, in step S251, the information presentation type determination means 21 outputs the notification type determined in step S231 as the notification type instruction 211, and ends the process.

  When the information presentation type determination unit 21 executes the process according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, when one or more peripheral devices having the notification type set to “silent notification” exist in the short distance of the mobile phone terminal 100 (step S201, YES), the information presentation type determination means 21 executes the processing of steps S241, S242 and S251, and determines that the notification type in the information presentation device 4 is "silent notification". In this case, the notification sound is automatically set not to sound.

  If there is no peripheral device at a short distance of the mobile phone terminal 100 (step S201, NO), the notification type in the information presentation device 4 of the mobile phone terminal 100 is determined to be “normal notification” (step S231). Therefore, the mobile phone terminal 100 is automatically set so that a notification sound is generated at the time of notification.

  In addition, as shown in steps S221 and S222, there is a procedure for permitting the change of the notification type to “normal notification” on condition that a predetermined time or more has elapsed since the notification type was determined as “silent notification”. Thus, it is possible to stably maintain a state in which the notification type in the information presentation device 4 of the mobile phone terminal 100 is set to “silent notification”, that is, a notification type that has little influence on the surroundings. For example, when both the peripheral device set to “silent notification” and the peripheral device set to “normal notification” exist in the short distance of the mobile phone terminal 100, the peripheral device set to “silent notification” Immediately after the notification type in the mobile phone terminal 100 is set to “silent notification” based on the notification type acquired from the above, the peripheral device set to “normal notification” is detected and the notification type of the mobile phone terminal 100 is “ Unstable operation such as switching to “normal notification” can be prevented.

  Note that step S112 in FIG. 5 corresponds to the first step described in claim 7, and steps S211, S231, and S241 in FIG. 6 also correspond to the second step described in claim 7, respectively.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the usage situation of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 7 illustrates an example in which a user U who has the mobile phone terminal 100 is on a train and there is a user U-1 who has a peripheral device 200-1 at a short distance of the user U. It is. Hereinafter, an operation example of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the initial state, the notification type in the mobile phone terminal 100 is described as being set to “normal notification”. Also, the user U-1 has set the notification type in the peripheral device 200-1 to "silent notification" by operating the operation input means 60 (Fig. 4) of the peripheral device 200-1, and has received an incoming call. The description will be made assuming that the user is sometimes notified in a mute state.

  First, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 100 executes processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. In step S101, the short-distance wireless communication unit 11 searches for the peripheral device and detects the peripheral device 200-1 (YES in step S102), the second short-distance wireless communication unit 11-2 (FIG. 11) of the peripheral device 200-1. 4) and a connection is established (step S111).

  When the short-range communication means 11 transmits the command “AT + CALM?” In step S112, the second short-range wireless communication means 11-2 of the peripheral device 200-1 accepts this. Since the second short-range wireless communication unit 11-2 acquires “notification sound = OFF” as the notification type information 121, the second short-range wireless communication unit 11-2 transmits a response “+ CALM: 1” to the short-range wireless communication unit 11 (step S112). Further, the short-range wireless unit 11 determines from the response “+ CALM: 1” that the notification type in the peripheral device 200-1 is “silent notification”, and sets “notification sound = OFF” as the acquisition result information 111 in step S113. Output.

  Finally, the near field communication unit 11 releases the connection of the peripheral device 200-1 with the second near field communication unit 11-2 in step S117. The short-range wireless communication unit 11 repeats the processes of steps S101, S102, S111 to S113, and S117, thereby indicating “notification sound = OFF” indicating the notification type in the peripheral device 200-1 as the acquisition result information 111 as the information presentation type. It repeatedly outputs to the determination means 21.

  On the other hand, when the short distance wireless communication unit 11 receives the acquisition result information 111 “notification sound = OFF” output in step S113 in FIG. 5, the information presentation type determination unit 21 starts the process illustrated in FIG.

  First, in step S201, the information presentation type determination means 21 determines that a peripheral device has been detected because the received acquisition result information 111 is “notification sound = OFF” (step S201, YES). It is determined that the notification type shown is “silent notification”, and the process proceeds to step S241.

  In step S241, the information presentation type determination means 21 determines that the notification type in the information presentation apparatus 4 is "silent notification" and sets the timeout time Ts to 60 seconds (step S242). Further, the information presentation type determination unit 21 outputs the notification type “silent notification” determined in step S241 as the notification type instruction 211 to the notification control unit 40, so that the information presentation type is notified so that the notification is silent. The notification type in the device 4 is changed (step S251).

  When the short-range wireless communication unit 11 outputs the acquisition result information 111 “notification sound = OFF” again, the information presentation type determination unit 21 executes the processes of steps S201, S211, S241, S242, and S251 again. As long as the peripheral device 200-1 exists at a short distance of 100, the notification type in the information presentation device 4 is kept as “silent notification”. For this reason, no notification sound is emitted from the notification speaker 44 even when the mobile phone terminal 100 receives an incoming call.

  Here, for example, when the user U gets off the train and the distance between the mobile phone terminal 100 and the peripheral device 200-1 increases, the short-range wireless communication means 11 of the mobile phone terminal 100 disconnects the peripheral device 200-1. Since it becomes impossible to detect (FIG. 5, step S102, NO), the short-range wireless notification means 11 outputs “non-detection” as the acquisition result information 111 (step S121).

  In response to this, when the information presentation type determination means 12 executes the processing of FIG. 6, it is determined that no peripheral device has been detected (NO in step S201), and the notification type of the information presentation device 4 is set to “normal notification” in step S231. Is determined. Further, in step S251, the information presentation type determination means 21 outputs the notification type “normal notification” determined in step S231 as the notification type instruction 211, and returns to step S201. As a result, when the mobile phone terminal 100 receives an incoming call, a notification sound is emitted from the notification speaker 44. However, since the user U-1 is already away from the mobile phone terminal 100, the speaker 44 The notification sound emitted from the user does not bother the user U-1.

As described above, in the mobile phone terminal 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 is based on the result of acquiring the notification type in the peripheral device 200-1 existing at a short distance via wireless. Thus, the information presentation type determination unit 12 determines the notification type in the information presentation device 4 of the mobile phone terminal 100. Accordingly, when the notification type set by the user U-1 of the peripheral device 200-1 is “silent notification”, the notification type in the mobile phone terminal 100 can be set to “silent notification”. Notifying the user U-1 around the terminal 100 of the psychological preparation state, i.e., the notification type corresponding to the expectation of the user U-1 that "the notification sound should not ring even if the call is received" Can do.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the short-range wireless communication means 11 of the mobile phone terminal 300 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 11 includes steps S114 to S116 and step S122 in addition to the processing procedure of the short-range wireless communication means 11 of the mobile phone terminal 100 in the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  In step S114, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 stores acquisition result information 111 indicating the result of the notification type acquisition process (step S112) set in the peripheral device in the storage area. The information presentation type determination unit 21 acquires the acquisition result information 111 including the notification type acquired by the short-range wireless communication unit 11 by referring to the storage area.

  In step S115, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 branches the process depending on whether a setting information acquisition request has been received from a peripheral device (such as the mobile phone terminal 100 (FIG. 2) or another mobile phone terminal) that exists in a short distance. If received (step S115, YES), the process proceeds to step S116. If not received (step S115, NO), the process proceeds to step S117.

  In step S 116, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 acquires the second notification type information 122 corresponding to the second information presentation type information 120 of FIG. 8 from the information presentation type determination unit 21, and the second notification type information 122. When “notification sound = ON”, the response “+ CALM: 0” is transmitted to the peripheral device, and when “notification sound = OFF”, the response “+ CALM: 1” is transmitted to the peripheral device.

  In step S122, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 pauses the processing for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) based on the time information 701, so that the peripheral device is not in the short distance of the mobile phone terminal 300. Wasteful power consumption due to frequent repetition of processing for searching for devices is suppressed.

  FIGS. 12-14 is a flowchart which shows the process sequence of the information presentation classification determination means 21 of the mobile telephone terminal 300 in Embodiment 2 of this invention. FIG. 12 shows a main routine in processing execution of the information presentation type determination means 21. FIGS. 13 and 14 show subroutines called in steps S321 and S311 of FIG. 12, respectively.

  In FIG. 12, the information presentation type determination unit 21 starts processing upon receiving an operation input signal 601 from the operation input unit 60. First, the information presentation type determination unit 21 receives an operation input signal 601 (step S301). Next, whether or not the information presentation type determination means 21 is a notification type setting operation for setting whether the received operation input signal 601 is “normal notification” or “silent notification” when notifying an incoming call. It is determined whether or not (step S302). Here, when the received operation input signal 601 is a setting operation for setting a notification type (step S302, YES), the process proceeds to step S321, and when it is not a setting operation for setting a notification type (step S302, NO). Advances to step S221.

In step S321, the information presentation type determination unit 21 performs a process of determining the presentation type based on the operation input signal 601.
On the other hand, in steps S221, S222, and S311, the information presentation type determination means 21 performs a process of determining the notification type based on the acquisition result information 111 on the condition that the timeout time Ts has already passed (steps S221 to S222). (Step S311).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure in which the information presentation type determination unit 21 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention determines a notification type based on the operation input signal 601.

  In step S401, the information presentation type determination unit 21 branches the process based on the content of the operation input signal 601, and if the operation input signal 601 is a setting operation for setting the notification type to “normal notification”, the process proceeds to step S231. When the input signal 601 is a setting operation for setting the notification type to “silent notification”, the process proceeds to step S241.

In step S231, the information presentation type determination unit 21 determines that the notification type of the information presentation device 4 is “normal notification”, sets the timeout time Ts of the time measuring unit 70 to “30 seconds” (step S411), Proceed to step S251. On the other hand, in step S241, the information presentation type determination unit 21 determines that the notification type of the information presentation apparatus 4 is “silent notification”, and sets the timeout time Ts of the time measuring unit 70 to “60 seconds” (step S421). ), The process proceeds to step S251.
In step S251, the information presentation type determination means 21 outputs the notification type determined in step S231 or S241 as the notification type instruction 211, and proceeds to step S431.

  In step S431, the information presentation type determination unit 21 records the content of the notification type instruction 211 output in step S251, that is, the notification type determined by the information presentation type determination unit 21 in the process before step S251 in the instruction history holding unit 31. .

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure in which the information presentation type determination unit 21 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention determines the notification type based on the acquisition result information 111.

In step S501, the information presentation type determination unit 21 refers to the acquisition result information 111 stored in the storage area by the short-range wireless communication unit 11 in step S114 of FIG. Whether the current peripheral device exists at a short distance by determining the number of peripheral devices detected within a predetermined time before the current time (for example, within 10 seconds) and determining whether this number is greater than zero. Judge whether.
When there is a current peripheral device at a short distance (step S501, YES), the process proceeds to step S502. When there is no current peripheral device at a short distance (step S501, NO), the process proceeds to step S231.

  In step S502, the information presentation type determination unit 21 branches the process depending on the notification type currently set in the information presentation apparatus 4. If the notification type is "silent notification" (step S502, silent notification), the process proceeds to step S511. If the notification type is “normal notification” (step S502, normal notification), the process proceeds to step S521.

  In step S511, the information presentation type determination means 21 is a peripheral apparatus detected by the short-range wireless communication means 11 within a predetermined time, and the information presentation type is different from the currently set notification type in the information presentation apparatus 4. That is, the process branches depending on whether or not the number of peripheral devices whose notification type is “normal notification” is equal to or greater than a certain ratio with respect to the total number of devices, and when the number is equal to or greater than a certain ratio (step S511, 80%). The process proceeds to step S512, and if it does not reach a certain ratio (step S511, less than 80%), the process returns to step S301 (FIG. 12).

  On the other hand, in step S521, the information presentation type determination unit 21 branches the process depending on whether the number of peripheral devices whose notification type is “silent notification” is equal to or greater than a certain ratio with respect to the total number of devices. If the ratio is greater than or equal to the ratio (step S521, 40% or more), the process returns to step S241. If the ratio is less than the predetermined ratio (step S521, less than 40%), the process returns to step S301 (FIG. 12).

  When the number of peripheral devices whose notification type is “normal notification” is greater than or equal to a certain ratio with respect to the total number of devices (step S511, 80% or more), in step S512, the information presentation type determination unit 21 notifies A notification type instruction 211 is output to the notification control means 40 so as to warn the user that the type is to be changed from “silent notification” to “normal notification”. Based on the notification type instruction 211 output at this time, when the notification control means 40 outputs the display instruction 401 and the vibration instruction 402 to the display means 41 and the vibrator 42, the LED of the display means 41 blinks red, and the vibrator 42 Vibrate intermittently.

  Next, in step S301-2, when the operation for canceling the change of the notification type is detected within a predetermined time (step S513, YES), the information presentation type determination unit 21 sets the timeout time Ts to 60 seconds. After setting (step S421), the process returns to step S301 (FIG. 12), and when an operation for canceling the change of the notification type is not detected within a predetermined time (step S513, NO), the process proceeds to step S231.

  Next, in step S231, the information presentation type determination unit 21 determines that the notification type of the information presentation apparatus 4 is “normal notification”, and sets the timeout time Ts of the time measuring unit 70 to “2 seconds” (step S231). S514), the process proceeds to step S251.

  On the other hand, in step S241, the information presentation type determination unit 21 determines that the notification type of the information presentation apparatus 4 is “silent notification”, and sets the timeout time Ts of the time measuring unit 70 to “10 seconds” (step S522). ), The process proceeds to step S251.

When the information presentation type determination unit 21 outputs the notification type instruction 211 in step S251, the notification control unit 40 receives the notification type instruction 211, and controls the vibrator 42 and the sound source module 43 to perform notification when there is an incoming call. Further, the notification control means 40 instructs the display means 41 to display the LED in red when the notification type instruction 211 is “notification sound = ON” and to light the LED green when “notification sound = OFF”. By outputting 401, the user can check the current notification type by viewing the display means 41.
Next, in step S431, the information presentation type determination unit 21 sends the contents of the notification type instruction 211 output in step S251, that is, the notification type determined by the information presentation type determination unit 21 in step S231 or S241 to the instruction history holding unit 31. Record.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12, the information presentation type determination means 21 of the mobile phone terminal 300 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention determines the notification type of the information presentation device 4 based on the acquisition result information 111 (steps). In addition to S221, S222, and S311), a procedure (step S321) for determining a notification type based on the operation input signal 601 is included. According to the above procedure, the notification type of the information presenting device 4 can be selected at the user's discretion, so that the notification type determined based on the notification type in the peripheral device existing at a short distance is not optimal. Even if it is a case, it can be appropriately dealt with by a setting operation by the user.

  Further, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 13, the time-out time (step S411) set when the notification type is “normal notification”, that is, the notification type having a large influence on the surroundings, and the notification type is “silent notification”. This time is shorter than the time-out time (step S421) set at the time. According to the above procedure, the state set to the notification type having a small influence on the surroundings can be stably maintained, and the state set to the notification type having a large influence on the surroundings can be quickly changed according to the situation. Since it can be changed, it is possible to reduce the possibility of inconvenience to the surroundings by the notification operation by the information presentation device 4.

  Further, the timeout time (step S411, step S421) set in the manual setting process (FIG. 13) is longer than the timeout time (step S514, step S522) set in the automatic setting process (FIG. 14). According to the above procedure, the notification type determined based on the user's setting operation is operated so as to be maintained for a certain period of time without being automatically changed immediately thereafter. The notification type in the information presentation device 4 can be maintained with priority given to the user's determination of the mobile phone terminal 300 over the determination of the user.

  Further, in step S431 (FIGS. 13 and 14), the information presentation type determination means 21 indicates the contents of the notification type instruction 211 output in step S251, that is, the notification type determined by the information presentation type determination means 21 as the instruction history holding means 31. Operates to record. According to the above procedure, how the notification type in the information presentation device 4 is changed can be referred to later, so that the cellular phone terminal 300 can be used to confirm a rough history of user behavior later. It becomes possible to use, and convenience improves.

  In FIG. 14, the information presentation type determination means 21 is a notification type of the information presentation apparatus 4 based on the notification type in the peripheral device detected within the predetermined time immediately before, among the peripheral devices detected by the short-range wireless communication means 11. Is determined. According to the above procedure, the influence of peripheral devices that have been detected in the past and later moved out of the communication range of the short-range wireless communication means 11 can be excluded when determining the notification type of the information presentation device 4. The notification type in the telephone terminal 300 can be set as a notification type according to the current psychological preparation state of surrounding people.

  Further, the information presentation type determination means 21 determines whether the notification type in the peripheral device is different from the notification type currently set in the information presentation device 4 among the peripheral devices existing at a short distance in step S511 and step S521. The notification type of the information presentation device 4 is determined based on the number of devices and further the ratio of the number of devices. According to the above procedure, the notification type of the information presentation device 4 can be changed only when the notification type in the information presentation device 4 does not match the trend of the notification type in the peripheral device. The notification type of the information presentation device 4 of the mobile phone terminal 300 is not frequently changed under the influence of the notification type, and the operation is stabilized.

  Also, the condition (80% or more) for proceeding to the processing (steps S512, S301-2, S513, S231, S514) for setting the notification type to “normal notification” in step S511, that is, the notification type having a large influence on the surroundings. ) Is more stringent than the condition (40% or more) for proceeding to the process (steps S241 and S522) for setting the notification type to “silent notification” in step S521, that is, the notification type having a small influence on the surroundings. . According to the above procedure, the probability that the information presentation type determination unit 21 determines the notification type in the information presentation device 4 to be a notification type with a small influence on the surroundings increases, so the notification type that the information presentation apparatus 4 has a large influence on the surroundings increases. It is possible to reduce the possibility of inconvenience to the surroundings by notifying of incoming calls.

  In step S512, the information presentation type determination unit 21 operates to warn the user when the notification type is changed to “normal notification”, that is, a notification type having a large influence on the surroundings. According to the above procedure, the user can recognize in advance that the notification type determination by the information presentation type determination means 21 may not be appropriate for the surrounding situation and an unsuitable incoming notification may be performed.

  In step S513, the information presentation type determination unit 21 cancels the change of the notification type based on the user's stop operation when the notification type is changed to “normal notification”, that is, the notification type having a large influence on the surroundings. Works like this. According to the above procedure, since the determination of the notification type in the information presentation type determination means 21 is not appropriate for the surrounding situation, it is possible to avoid inconvenience that the information presentation that is not appropriate is performed in advance by the judgment of the user.

  Further, in step S513, the information presentation type determination unit 21 operates so as to automatically change the notification type when the user's cancel operation is not performed within a predetermined time. According to the above procedure, it is not necessary for the user to perform an operation of permitting the change of the notification type each time a warning is issued, and convenience is improved.

  Note that step S112 described in FIG. 11 is the first step described in claim 7, and steps S501, S502, S511, S521, S231, and S241 described in FIG. 14 are the second step described in claim 7. Each corresponds.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the usage status of the mobile phone terminal 300 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. FIG. 15A shows that the user U who has the mobile phone terminal 300 is on the train, and the peripheral device 200-1 and the peripheral device 200- having the configuration shown in FIG. The situation where there are a user U-1 and a user U-2 who respectively carry 2 is described as an example. In addition to FIG. 15 (a), FIG. 15 (b) shows that the user U-3 who has another mobile phone terminal 300-3 in the second embodiment of the present invention gets on and uses it. The situation where the person U is at a short distance is described as an example.

  Hereinafter, an operation example of the mobile phone terminal 300 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the initial state, description will be made assuming that the incoming call notification type in the mobile phone terminals 300 and 300-3 is set to “normal notification”. Further, the user U-1 sets the notification type of the peripheral device 200-1 to "silent notification", and the user U-2 sets the notification type of the peripheral device 200-2 to "normal notification". The explanation will be made assuming that

  First, the short-range wireless communication means 11 of the mobile phone terminal 300 executes processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, in step S101, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 searches for a peripheral device and detects the peripheral device 200-1 (YES in step S102), and establishes a connection with the peripheral device 200-1 (step S111). The notification type “silent notification” set in the peripheral device 200-1 is acquired (step S112). Next, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 records the acquisition result information 11 in the storage area (step S114).

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the contents of the notification type acquisition history table T311 that holds the acquisition result information 111 that the short-range wireless communication means 11 records in the storage area.
The notification type acquisition history table T311 includes records (R3111-1 to R3113-4) for each peripheral device detected by the short-range wireless communication unit 11, and each record stores an identifier for identifying the peripheral device. It includes an identifier field F3111, a notification type field F3112 for storing the notification type acquired from the peripheral device, and a notification type acquisition time field F3113 for storing the time when the notification type is acquired from the peripheral device.

  As a result of the short-range wireless communication means 11 first detecting the peripheral device 200-1 and acquiring the notification type “silent notification”, the content of the notification type acquisition history table T311 is the notification type acquisition history shown in FIG. The state is as shown in Table T311-1. The record R3111-1 of the notification type acquisition history table T311-1 includes the peripheral device 200-1 from the peripheral device 200-1 indicated by the peripheral device identifier “00001” by which the short-range wireless communication unit 11 identifies the peripheral device 200-1. This indicates that the notification type “silent notification” set to −1 is acquired at “7:35:20”.

  In step S115 of FIG. 11, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 does not have a peripheral device that transmits a setting information acquisition request at a short distance (step S115, NO), and thus connects to the peripheral device 200-1 in step S117. To release.

  Next, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 performs the same processing for the peripheral device 200-2, so that the content of the notification type acquisition history table T311 is the notification type acquisition history table T311 shown in FIG. -2 state. The record R3112-2 of the notification type acquisition history table T311-2 indicates that the short-range wireless communication unit 11 uses the peripheral device 200-2 from the peripheral device 200-2 indicated by the peripheral device identifier “00002” that identifies the peripheral device 200-2. -2 indicates that the notification type “normal notification” set to “−7: 35: 21” is acquired.

  On the other hand, when the information presentation type determining means 21 executes the process according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 12, it first receives the operation input signal 601 (step S301). Next, the information presentation type determination unit 21 determines whether the received operation input signal 601 is a notification type setting operation (step S302), and is not a notification type setting operation (step S302, NO). Time information 701 is acquired from (step S221). Here, it is assumed that the current time indicated by the time information 701 is “7:35:22”, and the timeout time Ts = 2 seconds has already elapsed since the previous timeout time Ts was set (step S222). YES), the information presentation type determination means 21 executes notification type automatic setting processing (step S311).

  Subsequently, the information presentation type determination means 21 executes processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. The notification type acquisition time (field F3113) held in the notification type acquisition history table T311-2 is 7 o'clock for both the peripheral device 200-1 (record R3111-2) and the peripheral device 200-2 (record R3112-2). Since it is within a predetermined time (10 seconds) before 35 minutes and 22 seconds, the number of detected peripheral devices is 2 (step S501, YES), and the information presentation type determination means 21 proceeds to the process of step S502.

  In step S502, since the notification type in the mobile phone terminal 300 is “normal notification”, the information presentation type determination unit 21 proceeds to step S521. Further, of the two peripheral devices, the peripheral device 200-1 and the peripheral device 200-2, the notification type “silent notification” is one of the peripheral devices 200-1 (step S521, 40% or more), the information presentation type determination means 21 determines that the notification type in the information presentation device 4 of the mobile phone terminal 300 is “silent notification” (step S241).

  Next, after setting the timeout time Ts to 10 seconds (step S522), the information presentation type determination unit 21 outputs a notification type instruction 211 so that the notification type of the information presentation apparatus 4 is set to “silent notification” in step S251. . As a result, the information presenting device 4 is in a state where it does not ring a ringtone when notifying an incoming call.

  Furthermore, in step S431, the information presentation type determination unit 21 records in the instruction history holding unit 31 that the notification type of the information presentation device 4 has been determined as “silent notification”.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the contents of the notification type instruction history table T312 held by the instruction history holding means 31. As shown in FIG. The notification type instruction history table T312 includes records (records R3121 to R3122) that hold the determined notification type for each notification type instruction 211. Each record of the notification type instruction history table T312 includes a notification type instruction time field F3121 indicating the time when the notification type instruction 211 is output, a notification type field F3122 indicating the contents of the notification type instruction 211, and the notification type is set by the user. This field includes a reason field F3123 indicating whether it is determined based on the operation (“manual”) or based on the acquisition result information 111 (“automatic”).

  FIG. 17A shows the contents of the notification type instruction history table T312-1 in the initial state, and FIG. 17B shows the process in which the information presentation type determination means 21 records the instruction history holding means 31 (step S431). The contents of the notification type instruction history table T312-2 at the time of executing are respectively shown. In the notification type instruction history table T312-2, a record R3122 indicating the notification type newly recorded this time is added.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15B, an operation when the user U-3 who has the mobile phone terminal 300-3 gets on and reaches the user U at a short distance will be described.

  First, the short distance wireless communication unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 300 executes the same processing as the processing already described, whereby the content of the notification type acquisition history table T311 becomes as shown in FIG. In the notification type acquisition history table T311-3, a record R3113-3 corresponding to the mobile phone terminal 300-3 possessed by the user U-3 is newly added.

  The information presentation type determination unit of the mobile phone terminal 300 proceeds to the process of step S511 because the notification type in the mobile phone terminal 300 is “silent notification” in step S502 of the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. In step S511, the information presentation type determination means refers to the notification type acquisition history table T311-3, and the peripheral devices set with the notification type “normal notification” are the peripheral device 200-2 and the mobile phone terminal 300-3. (Step S511, less than 80%), the process of setting the notification type to “normal notification” (steps S512 to S514) is not executed, and the notification type in the information presentation device 4 is maintained as “silent notification”. .

  In addition, in step S115 in FIG. 11, when the short-range wireless communication unit 11 receives the setting information acquisition request transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 300-3 (step S115, YES), in step S116, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 transmits a response “+ CALM: 1” to the mobile phone terminal 300-3 based on the second notification type information 122 “notification sound = OFF”.

  On the other hand, processing similar to that performed by the mobile phone terminal 300 is also executed by the mobile phone terminal 300-3. As a result, the notification type in the mobile phone terminal 300-3 becomes “silent notification”, and the incoming call can be notified with the same notification type as the notification type in the peripheral device 200-1 and the mobile phone terminal 300.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a display example of the notification type history held in the instruction history holding unit 31. The information presentation type determination unit 21 displays the content on the display unit 41 according to the content of the notification type instruction history table T312 based on the operation input signal 601 that is the output of the operation input unit 60 that has received the display operation from the user. The display shown in FIG. 18 is performed by outputting a display instruction 401 for performing the operation.

  In FIG. 18, the vertical axis represents time, “0:00” (display D411) represents 0:00, and “6:00” (display D412) represents 6:00. In addition, in each of the rectangular areas of stippling (display D413), black (display D414), white (display D415), and diagonal lines (display D416), the notification type of the information presentation device 4 is “silent notification” in the time zone indicated by the area. , “Normal notification”, “silent notification”, and “normal notification”. Of these, both the stippled (display D413) and black (display D414) areas are cell phones based on the location where the reason field T3123 of the notification type instruction history table T312 was “manual”, that is, based on the user's manual operation. This represents the time zone in which the notification type of the terminal 300 was determined and maintained. On the other hand, each rectangular area of white (display D415) and hatched line (D416) is based on the location where the reason field T3123 of the notification type instruction history table T312 is “automatic”, that is, the notification type of the peripheral device existing at a short distance. Thus, it represents the time zone in which the notification type in the mobile phone terminal 300 was determined and maintained.

  As described above, in the mobile phone terminal 300 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the short-range wireless communication unit 11 acquires notification types in a plurality of peripheral devices that are present at a short distance via the wireless communication. Based on the number of peripheral devices set as the notification type, the information presentation type determination means 12 determines the notification type of the information presentation device 4 of the mobile phone terminal 300, thereby making many uses around the mobile phone terminal 300. The incoming call can be notified by a method according to the psychological preparation state of the person.

  In the mobile phone terminal 300 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the short-range wireless unit 11 uses the notification type of the information presentation device 4 determined by the information presentation type determination unit 21 as a peripheral device 300- 3 can be notified by the method according to the psychological preparation state of the users around the mobile phone terminal 300, and the notification type of the peripheral device 300-3 can be It can be according to the psychological preparation state of the user.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the information presentation type is the incoming call notification type, but is not limited to this, and any information can be used as long as it is a presentation type when presenting information. It may be the illuminance, brightness, and hue when presenting the video, the volume and frequency characteristics when presenting the sound, the language, dialect, and the degree of politeness when presenting the sound.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the notification type is “normal notification” that sounds a notification sound or “silent notification” that does not sound a notification sound. However, the notification type is not limited to this. The volume, length, frequency characteristics, notification sound selection and genre, selection of the device that outputs the notification sound, presence / absence of vibration, pattern difference, and the like may be used.

  In the second embodiment of the present invention, the information presentation type is indicated by the LED color. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the background image, icon, text type, LED, LCD, and key display are not limited to this. It may be indicated by a blinking state or the like.
