[Specific example of executing predetermined processing in association with movement of mobile phone terminal]
FIG. 2 illustrates a specific example in which a predetermined process related to a communication process performed through a wireless LAN is associated in advance with a movement of a mobile phone terminal according to a motion performed by a user, and this is executed. FIG.

  In FIG. 2, a mobile phone terminal 100A possessed by a user 201 and a mobile phone terminal 100B possessed by a user 202 have the same configuration as the mobile phone terminal 100 of this embodiment described with reference to FIG. The one embodiment is applied.

  In the case of the example shown in FIG. 2, at least the mobile phone terminal 100A of the user 201 moves the mobile phone terminal 100A according to the motion of swinging down the user's arm holding the mobile phone terminal 100A. On the other hand, a process of “send the telephone number and mail address of the user of the mobile phone terminal to the other party” is associated in advance.

  Further, at least the mobile phone terminal 100B of the user 202 has a “sent phone call” in response to the movement of the mobile phone terminal 100B in response to the motion of raising the arm of the user holding the mobile phone terminal 100B. The process of receiving the number and the e-mail and registering it in the contact list of the own device is associated in advance.

  Then, communication via the wireless LAN is performed between the mobile phone terminal 100A held by the user 201 shown in FIG. 2 and the mobile phone terminal 100B held by the user 202. However, the mobile phone terminal 100A and the mobile phone terminal are connected in advance. Communication with 100B is established in a wireless LAN ad hoc mode (communication line is connected).

  After the communication is established, as shown in FIG. 2, when the user 201 performs a motion of swinging down the arm holding the mobile phone terminal 100A, the movement (position change pattern) of the mobile phone terminal 100A according to the motion is performed. Based on the detection output from the acceleration sensor 113 of the mobile phone terminal 100A, the data is acquired by the control unit 108.

  Then, when there is a process associated with the acquired movement of the own device, the control unit 108 of the mobile phone terminal 100A executes this. In the case of this example, the process of “send the phone number and mail address of the user of the mobile phone terminal to the other party” is executed, and the data of the phone number and mail address of the user of the mobile phone terminal 100A. The DT is transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 100B of the user 202 to which communication is connected.

  On the other hand, the mobile phone terminal 100B receives the phone number and mail address from the mobile phone terminal 100A and temporarily stores them in a predetermined temporary file. In other words, it is temporarily received. When the temporarily stored telephone number and e-mail address are necessary, the user 202 performs a motion of raising the arm holding the mobile phone terminal 100B. Then, the movement (position change pattern) of the mobile phone terminal 100B according to the motion is acquired by the control unit 108 based on the detection output from the acceleration sensor 113 of the mobile phone terminal 100B.

  Then, when there is a process associated with the detected movement of the own device, the control unit 108 of the mobile phone terminal 100B executes this. In the case of this example, the process of “received telephone number and e-mail sent and register in the contact list of the own apparatus” is executed, and the telephone number transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 100A. And the mail address are formally registered in the contact list of the predetermined memory of the mobile phone terminal 100B.

  In this way, you can send your phone number and e-mail address to the other party that is connected to the communication by simply moving the arm holding the mobile phone terminal down. Just by performing a motion of swinging up the arm holding the phone, the received telephone number and mail address of the other party can be received and registered in a predetermined contact list.

  In other words, in this example, the motion of swinging down the arm holding the mobile phone terminal throws (sends) the telephone number and mail address stored in the mobile phone terminal to the other party. This is an operation for instructing the mobile phone terminal, and in response to this operation, the mobile phone terminal can transmit its own telephone number and mail address to the communication partner.

  On the other hand, the motion of swinging up the arm holding the mobile phone terminal catches and stores the received telephone number and mail address of the other party (receives and stores it in a predetermined storage location) This is an operation for instructing the mobile phone terminal. In response to this operation, the mobile phone terminal registers the telephone number and mail address of the other party received and temporarily stored in a predetermined temporary file in a predetermined contact list. To be able to.

  Since this is a data transmission / reception process, the receiving side receives the transmitted telephone number and e-mail address and temporarily stores them in a temporary file. When the mobile phone terminal itself detects the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal that is physically moved according to the motion of swinging up the arm holding the phone terminal, the temporarily received phone number and email address are formally It is imported (assuming that it has been officially received) and can be officially registered in the target contact list.

  In the temporary reception state (the phone number and mail address are received and temporarily stored in the temporary file), no motion is performed, or the temporarily stored phone number or email is discarded. When a physical movement of the mobile phone terminal corresponding to the motion is detected, the temporarily stored phone number and mail address are discarded (erased).

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the case where the telephone number and the mail address are transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 100 </ b> A of the user 201 to the mobile phone terminal 100 </ b> B of the user 202 is described as an example. is not. For the mobile phone terminal 100A of the user 201, the movement of the mobile phone terminal 100A corresponding to the motion of raising the arm of the user holding the user's mobile phone terminal 100A is A process of “receiving an e-mail and registering it in the contact list of the own device” is associated in advance.

  Similarly, for the mobile phone terminal 100B of the user 202, the movement of the mobile phone terminal 100B corresponding to the motion of swinging down the arm of the user's mobile phone terminal 100B is “the mobile phone terminal The user's telephone number and e-mail address are transmitted to the other party "is associated in advance.

  In this way, the mobile phone terminal 100A and the mobile phone terminal 100B can mutually transmit and receive a telephone number and a mail address. Thereby, for example, at a drinking party or a party, a telephone number or an e-mail address can be easily exchanged with a party at a slightly distant place. Moreover, since the target processing is executed using motion, it is possible to send and receive telephone numbers and e-mail addresses in a fun, easy and reliable manner. Further, when the transmitted telephone number or mail address is unnecessary, it can be easily discarded.

[About motion registration]
Next, a process (hereinafter simply referred to as a motion registration process) for registering physical movement (position change pattern) of a mobile phone terminal according to a user's motion in association with a predetermined process will be described. As described above, this motion registration process is a process that needs to be performed in advance so that a predetermined process corresponding to the motion can be executed. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the motion registration process performed in the mobile phone terminal 100 of this embodiment.

  Corresponding to the executable process displayed on the display unit 107 by the control of the control unit 108 by the user who wants to register the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 corresponding to the user's motion and the predetermined process in association with each other When a motion registration menu item is selected through the operation unit 106 from the menu in which the menu item to be registered is registered, the control unit 108 reads out a program from the memory unit 105 to perform the motion registration process shown in FIG. Execute.

  Then, the user can perform the desired motion to physically move the mobile phone terminal 100 while pressing (depressing) the determination button of the operation unit 106 so that the user can understand where the desired motion is from. Therefore, the control unit 108 operates the acceleration sensor 113 while the determination button is pressed, acquires acceleration data according to the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100, and A physical movement is accepted (step S101). That is, the process in step S101 is a motion acceptance process performed by the user.

  Then, the control unit 108 receives the confirmation input as to whether or not to register the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to the user's motion, which is accepted in step S101, and whether or not to register. Is determined (step S102). For example, when the movement of the own machine according to the received motion is a movement from the upper side to the lower side according to the swing of the arm, the movement of the own machine according to the received motion is A display notifying that it is “down” is displayed on the display unit 107, and a confirmation input as to whether or not to register is accepted, and it is determined whether or not the accepted confirmation input is confirmation OK.

  If it is determined in step S102 that the confirmation is not OK (the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal corresponding to the accepted motion is not registered), the control unit 108 repeats the processing from step S101 and inputs the motion. You will be able to repeat the reception. When it is determined in the determination process of step S102 that the confirmation is OK (physical movement of the mobile phone terminal corresponding to the received motion is registered), a predetermined process (processing content) associated with the received movement of the mobile phone terminal ) Is received (step S103).

  In the mobile phone terminal 100 of this embodiment, a plurality of processes that can be associated with the movement of the mobile phone terminal according to the user's motion are prepared in advance, and the user can perform the plurality of processes prepared in advance. The target process can be selected from among them. Specifically, the control unit 108 creates a list of a plurality of selectable processes and displays it on the display unit 107, and the user can select from the list displayed on the display unit 107 through the operation unit 106. It is possible to select a target process to be associated with the movement of the mobile phone terminal.

  Then, the control unit 108 receives a confirmation input as to whether or not to register the process received in step S103 in association with the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100, and determines whether or not to register. (Step S104). If it is determined in step S104 that the confirmation is not OK (the selected process is not registered in association with the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal), the control unit 108 repeats the process from step S103. The selection reception of the process associated with the movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to the user motion received in step S101 can be repeated.

  When it is determined in the determination process in step S104 that the confirmation is OK (the selected process is registered in association with the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal), the control unit 108 adds the user motion received in step S101. The information indicating the physical movement of the corresponding mobile phone terminal 100 and the process selected in step S103 are associated with each other and registered in a predetermined memory of the memory unit 105 (step S105). The process shown in FIG.

  As described above, the user of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to this embodiment causes the motion registration process to be executed by selecting the motion registration menu item, and physically moves the mobile phone terminal 100 itself while pressing the enter button. By performing the motion to make it possible to input the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal corresponding to the motion to the own device, and by selecting the desired processing content, the mobile phone terminal corresponding to the motion The physical movement and the target process are associated with each other and can be registered in a predetermined memory of the memory unit 105.

[Information transmission process according to motion]
The information transmission process according to the user's motion executed in the mobile phone terminal 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the information transmission process performed in response to the user's motion executed in the mobile phone terminal 100 according to this embodiment, and includes a process for starting a process for connecting communication through a wireless LAN. Is included.

  A user who intends to execute an information transmission process corresponding to a motion performs a motion operation through the operation unit 106 from a menu in which menu items corresponding to executable processes displayed on the display unit 107 are controlled by the control unit 108. When the menu item is selected, the control unit 108 reads out a program for performing information transmission processing using the motion shown in FIG. 4 from the memory unit 105 and executes it.

  First, the control unit 108 can control the wireless LAN communication control unit 112 to connect a communication line through the wireless LAN in the vicinity using the ad hoc mode through the wireless LAN communication control unit 112 and the wireless LAN communication antenna 111. A search is made to see if there is a correct partner (step S201). Next, the control unit 108 displays connectable candidate destinations on the display unit 107 based on the result of the search process in step S201, and accepts a connection destination selection input through the operation unit 106 (step S202).

  Then, the control unit 108 receives a confirmation input as to whether or not the connection destination selected in step S202 is acceptable, and determines whether or not to connect communication with the selected connection destination (step S203). . If it is determined in step S203 that communication is not connected to the selected connection destination, the processing from step S201 is repeated to change the communication connection destination.

  When it is determined in step S203 that communication is to be connected to the selected connection destination, the control unit 108 controls the wireless LAN communication control unit 112 to transmit a connection request, and accordingly A predetermined process for connecting the communication line to the selected connection destination such as receiving a response signal transmitted from the other party is performed, and communication connection is started (step S204). As a result, the communication line is connected one-to-one in the ad hoc mode between the mobile phone terminal 100 executing the process shown in FIG. 4 and the selected connection destination mobile phone terminal, and other devices are connected. An environment in which information can be sent and received with high confidentiality (high secrecy) can be prepared.

  Thereafter, the user of the mobile phone terminal 100 presses a predetermined operation key of the operation unit 106 (for example, a predetermined button such as a determination button), and the mobile phone terminal 100 associated with a process to be executed is associated with it. Since the motion corresponding to the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 is performed, the control unit 108 performs the cellular phone terminal 100 according to the user's motion based on the detection output from the acceleration sensor while the predetermined operation key is pressed. Is acquired (step S205). That is, the process of step S205 is a process of accepting physical movement of the own device according to the user's motion.

  Then, the control unit 108 checks whether or not information indicating a movement that matches the physical movement of the own device detected in step S205 is registered in advance in a predetermined memory of the memory unit 105 (step S206). . In the confirmation process of step S206, when it is determined that information indicating a movement that matches the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 detected in step S205 is not registered, the process from step S205 is repeated, and the user's motion is repeated. The physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 in response to can be accepted again.

  When it is determined in the confirmation process in step S206 that information indicating a movement that matches the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 detected in step S205 is registered, the control unit 108 detects the detected mobile phone terminal 100. The process associated with the information indicating the movement that matches the physical movement is executed (step S207). Thereby, as described above, for example, a series of processes such as “send a telephone number and a mail address to the other party” are executed.

  Thereafter, the connection of the wireless LAN connected in step S204 is terminated (line release) (step S208), and the process shown in FIG. 4 is terminated.

  Note that the mobile phone terminal 100 that is the information receiving side does not need to perform processing such as searching for a partner to communicate in the ad hoc mode (the processing from step S201 to step S203 in FIG. 4). By performing the processing from step S204, after communication is connected on the wireless LAN in response to a connection request from the partner (after connecting the communication line), information from the partner is received and temporarily stored. By performing a motion associated with the process of receiving information and storing it in a predetermined memory, the received and temporarily stored data can be taken in and stored in the target memory so that it can be used To be.

[Summary of operations of mobile phone terminal 100 on transmitting side and receiving side]
Next, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 2, the processing performed in the mobile phone terminal 100A on the transmitting side and the processing performed in the mobile phone terminal 100B on the receiving side are shown in the timing chart shown in FIG. The description will be given with reference. That is, FIG. 5 is for explaining the processing performed in each of the mobile phone terminal 100A and the mobile phone terminal 100B in the example shown in FIG. 2 based on the relationship between the mobile phone terminal 100A and the mobile phone terminal 100B. FIG.

  The mobile phone terminal 100A on the transmission side executes the processing shown in FIG. 4 and executes the processing in steps S201 to S204, and the mobile phone terminal 100B on the reception side also executes the processing shown in FIG. By executing the process of step S204, a communication line connection sequence for connecting communication on the wireless LAN between the mobile phone terminal 100A on the transmission side and the mobile phone terminal 100B on the reception side is executed. Communication is connected between mobile phone terminals (step S301).

  Then, the user of the mobile phone terminal A on the transmitting side performs a motion of swinging down the arm of the mobile phone terminal 100A while holding down a predetermined operation key of the operation unit 106 of the mobile phone terminal 100A. The control unit 108 of 100A receives the physical movement of the own device according to the motion through the acceleration sensor 113 (step S302). That is, the process of step S302 corresponds to a process of receiving a motion of the user of the mobile phone terminal 100A.

  The control unit 108 of the mobile phone terminal 100A indicates that the received physical movement of the own apparatus (physical movement of the own apparatus according to the user's motion) indicates a movement registered in advance in the memory section 105 of the own apparatus. When the movement matches the information, the process associated with the information indicating the matching movement, in the case of the example of FIG. 2, reads out the own telephone number and mail address from the stored memory. Then, a process of transmitting this to the other party is executed (step S303).

  In response to this, the mobile phone terminal 100B on the receiving side receives the telephone number and mail address transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 100A, and temporarily stores them in a temporary file (step S304). Then, the user of the mobile phone terminal 100B determines whether or not a telephone number or an e-mail address from the mobile phone terminal 100A that is a communication partner is necessary (step S305). The determination process in step S305 is performed by the user of the mobile phone terminal 100B.

  In step S305, when the user of the mobile phone terminal 100B determines that the phone number or mail address from the mobile phone terminal 100A is necessary, a motion of raising the arm holding the mobile phone terminal 100B is performed. Therefore, the control unit 108 of the mobile phone terminal 100B receives the motion (position change pattern) of the own device according to the motion through the acceleration sensor 113 mounted on the own device (step S306), and moves the own device. The process previously associated with is executed (step S307). That is, in this step S307, the temporarily stored phone number and mail address from the mobile phone terminal 100A are stored in the predetermined contact list of the own device and stored.

  In step S305, when the user of the mobile phone terminal 100B determines that the phone number or the mail address from the mobile phone terminal 100A is not necessary, the user of the mobile phone terminal 100B temporarily stores it. The telephone number from the cellular phone terminal 100A that is temporarily stored is not performed by performing a predetermined motion for executing a process of officially capturing and storing the telephone number or mail address from the cellular phone terminal 100A. The email address is not saved (step S308). Specifically, the phone number or mail address from the temporarily stored mobile phone terminal 100A is deleted, or when the temporarily stored memory is a RAM, the power is turned off as it is. Or let it be erased.

  Thereafter, in each of the mobile phone terminal 100A and the mobile phone terminal 100B, the connected communication line is released to the control unit 108 automatically or by performing a predetermined operation or a predetermined motion. The control unit 108 controls the wireless LAN communication control unit 112 to release the communication line (step S309), and ends the communication process corresponding to the motion.

  Here, the case where the mobile phone terminal 100A transmits a telephone number and an e-mail address to the mobile phone terminal 100B has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the mobile phone terminal 100B to the mobile phone terminal Of course, it is possible to transmit a telephone number or an e-mail address to 100A, and accept or not to accept it at the mobile phone terminal 100A.

  For example, after the process of step S307 or the process of step S308 shown in FIG. 5, the user of the mobile phone terminal 100B performs a motion of swinging down the arm of the mobile phone terminal 100B, thereby The control unit 108 of the terminal 100B detects the physical movement of the own apparatus according to the motion through the acceleration sensor 113 of the own apparatus, and processes associated with the detected movement, that is, the telephone number of the own apparatus Processing for transmitting the mail address to the communication partner (mobile phone terminal 100A) can be executed.

  The mobile phone terminal 100A receives and temporarily stores the telephone number and mail address from the mobile phone terminal 100B in the same manner as the processing performed on the mobile phone terminal 100B side described with reference to FIG. When the user of 100A determines that information from the mobile phone terminal 100B is necessary and performs a motion to swing up the arm of the mobile phone terminal 100A, the control unit 108 of the mobile phone terminal 100A Detects the physical movement of the machine according to the motion through the acceleration sensor 113 of the machine, and processes associated with the detected movement, that is, the telephone number and mail address received and temporarily stored Is stored in the predetermined contact list of the own device and stored and executed.

  When the user of the mobile phone terminal 100A determines that the information from the mobile phone terminal 100B is not necessary, the user of the mobile phone terminal 100A can temporarily store the phone number or mail from the mobile phone terminal 100B. By not performing a predetermined motion for executing processing to formally capture and store the address, the temporarily stored phone number and mail address from the mobile phone terminal 100B are not saved. Specifically, the phone number or mail address from the temporarily stored mobile phone terminal 100B is deleted, or when the temporarily stored memory is a RAM, the power is turned off as it is. Or let it be erased.

  In this way, after the mobile phone terminal A and the mobile phone terminal B exchange the telephone numbers and mail addresses with each other, the communication connection is terminated (communication line is released), and a series of The information exchange process can be terminated.

  As can be seen from the above description, the user of the cellular phone terminal 100A and the cellular phone terminal 100B can simply move the arm holding the cellular phone terminal down or raise the motion (acts). Only), it is possible to execute a predetermined process related to the communication process performed through the wireless LAN.

[Modification]
By the way, in the above-described embodiment, when a motion operation menu item is selected and the mobile phone terminal 100 is instructed to execute processing by motion, the physical operation of the mobile phone terminal 100 corresponding to the motion is performed. In order to appropriately detect the motion, the motion is performed while pressing a predetermined operation key of the operation unit 106, for example, the determination button.

  In this way, the control unit 108 can appropriately determine the physical property of the own device according to the motion desired by the user based on the detection output from the acceleration sensor 113 while the predetermined operation key is pressed. Movement can be acquired. That is, an operation of swinging up the mobile phone terminal 100 to swing it down, even though it wants to detect the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to the motion of swinging down the arm of the mobile phone terminal 100 It is possible not to detect up to.

  However, it may be troublesome for the user to always press a predetermined operation button when performing a desired motion. Therefore, in the case of the modification described below, even if the user who has the mobile phone terminal 100 performs a motion, it is not necessary to perform the motion while pressing a predetermined operation button. is there.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the mobile phone terminal 100 in this modification. Basically, the same processing as the information transmission processing according to the user motion described with reference to FIG. It is. That is, the process shown in FIG. 6 includes nine steps from step S401 to step S409, but the steps performed in the same manner as the process shown in FIG. 4 are shown in parentheses in FIG. The number of the corresponding step is described.

  That is, in the process shown in FIG. 6, steps S401 to S404 are performed in the same manner as the corresponding steps of steps S201 to S204 shown in FIG. Further, the process of step S406 shown in FIG. 6 is performed in the same manner as the process of step S205 shown in FIG. 4, and the processes of step S408 and step S409 correspond to steps S207 and S208 shown in FIG. This is performed in the same manner as the processing of the step.

  In the process shown in FIG. 6, the process in step S405 and the process in step S407 are different from the process described with reference to FIG. That is, in the case of this modification, as described above, when the user performs the predetermined motion with the mobile phone terminal 100, it is not necessary to perform the operation while pressing the predetermined operation key.

  For this reason, in the process shown in FIG. 6, after the process of step S <b> 404, the control unit 108 of the mobile phone terminal 100 constantly monitors the detection output from the acceleration sensor 113 to physically detect the mobile phone terminal 100. All movements are accepted (acquired) (step S405).

  Then, the control unit 108 checks whether or not information indicating a movement that matches the physical movement of the own device detected in step S405 is registered in advance in a predetermined memory of the memory unit 105 (step S406). . In the confirmation process in step S406, when it is determined that information indicating a movement that matches the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 detected in step S405 is not registered, the process from step S405 is repeated, and the user's motion is repeated. Thus, the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 can be continuously accepted.

  When it is determined in the confirmation process in step S406 that information indicating a movement that matches the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 detected in step S405 is registered, the control unit 108 detects the detected mobile phone terminal 100. It is determined whether or not the process associated with the information indicating the movement that matches the physical movement can be executed (step S407).

  If it is determined in step S407 that the process associated with the information indicating the movement that matches the detected physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 cannot be executed, the process from step S405 is repeated. The physical movement of the machine according to the user's motion can be received.

  If it is determined in the determination process in step S407 that the process associated with the information indicating the movement that matches the detected physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 can be executed, the process in step S408 is performed. In the same way as in step S207 of the process shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 108 executes a process associated with the information indicating the movement that matches the detected physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100. (Step S408).

  As described above, even when a predetermined operation key is not pressed when performing a motion, in step S405, after the motion operation menu item is selected, the control unit 108 The detection output from the acceleration sensor 113 is constantly monitored to accept the physical movement of the own device.

  Then, in step S406, the control unit 108 determines whether or not a motion that matches the registered motion has been input. When the motion is input, in step S407, the control unit 108 physically inputs the input own device. It is possible to determine whether or not the process associated with the motion can be executed.

  By doing in this way, the user himself / herself is not subject to the restriction of performing a motion while pressing a predetermined operation key, and the mobile phone terminal 100 can flexibly respond to the user's own various motions. The physical movement is accepted, and the process is executed only when the movement is a pre-registered movement and the process associated with the movement of the own device is in a state that can be executed. Thus, it is possible to execute a process associated with the physical movement of the own device according to the motion intended by the user, that is, a process intended by the user.

  For example, in order to execute a process of transmitting a telephone number and an e-mail address to a communication partner, it is necessary to perform a motion of swinging down the arm of the person holding the mobile phone terminal 100, but to swing down the arm. Before that, it is necessary to swing up the arm of the person holding the mobile phone terminal 100, and the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 corresponding to the motion of lifting the arm that is not intended to be detected is detected. However, if you have not received the phone number and mail address from the other party, for example, “Retrieve and temporarily store the phone number and mail address from the other party It is possible to avoid the processing of “store and store in the contact list”.

  That is, even when a physical movement of the own device that matches a pre-registered movement is detected, it is confirmed whether or not the process associated with the movement is executable and can be executed. By performing only the operation, it is possible to cause the process intended by the user to be executed according to the motion intentionally performed by the user.

[Application example]
In the embodiment described above, a telephone number or an e-mail address is transmitted according to a motion performed with the mobile phone terminal 100, or the received telephone number or e-mail address is registered in a predetermined contact list. To be able to. However, it is not limited to this. As the data that can be transmitted and received, for example, various information such as a greeting text and map information registered in advance can be transmitted and received in addition to the name and address. In other words, by performing simple motions, processing such as sending various target information and storing temporarily received and stored data in a storage memory when necessary is performed. Can do.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a series of processes such as “a process of reading out target data and transmitting it to the other party” and “a process of storing received and temporarily stored data in the target memory” This processing is associated with the physical movement of the own device, but is not limited to this. For example, a single process such as “process to turn on power”, “process to turn off power”, “connection process of communication line”, “disconnection process of communication line”, etc. It can be associated with a simple movement.

  In addition, as in the case of the above-described embodiment, the predetermined processing associated with the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal 100 is communication such as transmission processing of target data or storage processing of data temporarily received and stored. It is not only a predetermined process related to the process. Various processes such as a display process of image data stored and held and a deletion process of information stored and held can be associated with the movement of the own device.

  In addition, for example, when the mobile phone terminal 100 is regarded as a racket such as tennis or badminton, and data is transmitted and received according to the motion of shaking the racket with the mobile phone terminal 100, so to speak virtually, Games such as badminton can be played.

  For example, the distance between the two is determined in advance, and information indicating that a ball or shuttle has been struck is transmitted when a motion of shaking a mobile phone terminal that looks like a racket is performed. On the other hand, at the other party's mobile phone terminal, motion that shakes the mobile phone terminal that looks like a racket within the time that the ball or shuttle will arrive after receiving information indicating that the ball or shuttle was hit If it is performed, information indicating that the ball or shuttle has been returned is transmitted. Otherwise, it is regarded as a swing delay, and the opponent's score is taken. Games such as virtual tennis and badminton can be played. In addition to this, it is possible to play a more complicated game by defining various conditions.

  In addition, it is possible to play games such as golf and baseball. For example, in the case of golf, it automatically determines whether it is a driver or a putter according to the swinging speed and speed of a mobile phone terminal that looks like a golf club, and also determines the flight distance according to the speed of swinging. It is possible to realize a game of playing golf virtually on a course obtained and assumed by a calculation formula. In addition, in the case of baseball, the result is specified like a third goro, center fly, home run, etc. depending on how the mobile phone terminal is swung like a bat and how fast it is, and a baseball game is virtually played according to this. You can also have fun.

  In addition, by performing a motion that connects a mobile phone terminal with a sign of a ninja, as a process corresponding to the motion of the mobile phone terminal corresponding to the motion, information to apply ninja according to the motion When the specified mobile phone terminal was sent to the other party's mobile phone terminal and placed on the other party's mobile phone terminal that did not receive this, it was placed on the display screen of the mobile phone terminal. For example, in the case of a flame technique, a flame image may be displayed.

  In addition, by performing a series of motions so as to take a predetermined transformation pose with a mobile phone terminal, information indicating that it has been returned to the communication partner is transmitted, and the mobile phone terminal of the communication partner It is also possible to change the character of the user of the transmission source displayed on the display unit.

  As described above, various processes to be executed are registered in association with the physical movement (position change pattern) of the mobile phone terminal 100 according to the motion performed by the mobile phone terminal 100. As a result, a new game or play can be provided.

  In addition, as in the above-described embodiment, although communication is performed by connecting a communication line on a wireless LAN in an ad hoc mode, any mobile phone terminal becomes a router, so that a plurality of mobile phone terminals can be connected via the router. Since the mobile phone terminals can communicate with each other, it is possible to have a chat in which pictures and characters are written in the air and displayed on other mobile phone terminals while holding the mobile phone terminal.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining an example in which a plurality of mobile phone terminals perform communication in an ad hoc mode via a single router on a wireless LAN. In FIG. 7, each of the mobile phone terminals 100A, 100B, 100C, 100D, and 100E has the same configuration as the mobile phone terminal 100 of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1, and the present invention is applied. It is a thing.

  In the example of FIG. 7, the mobile phone terminal 100C functions as a router. In the case of this example, by performing a predetermined operation on the mobile phone terminal 100C through the operation unit 106, the mobile phone terminal 100C operates as a router under the control of the control unit 108. Then, other mobile phone terminals 100A, 100B, 100D, and 100E other than the mobile phone terminal 100C are connected to communicate with each other through the mobile phone terminal 100C functioning as a router.

As described above, by performing communication via the wireless LAN, it is possible to transmit and receive information at low cost without being charged each time communication is performed. However, it is not limited to this. Of course, processing corresponding to communication processing performed via a wide area network such as a public telephone network can be executed according to physical movement of the communication device that changes according to the user's motion.

  In addition, as for the acceleration sensor, if it is only necessary to detect an operation of swinging down an arm with a mobile phone terminal or an operation of swinging up an arm with a mobile phone terminal, a single-axis acceleration sensor may be used. By using a 2-axis or 3-axis acceleration sensor, it is possible to detect a more complicated movement of the machine.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mobile phone terminal has been described as using an acceleration sensor in order to detect the physical movement of the mobile phone terminal. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of using an acceleration sensor such as a gyro, other means capable of detecting the physical movement of the own device may be used.

  As can be seen from these, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a mobile phone terminal equipped with a wireless LAN function and an acceleration sensor has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. is not. The present invention can be applied to various communication devices having various communication functions such as a wireless LAN and also having a function of detecting movement of the own device such as an acceleration sensor.
