FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the theme unified environment setting desired by the user is newly set in the mobile phone 10 having the above configuration.
In order to change the display of the standby screen of the mobile phone 10 to the display of the unified theme environment setting unified with a desired theme related to a specific character or the like, the user first operates the mobile phone 10. , Start the WEB browser (S1), select and access the address of the WEB server 32, which is the content download site that provides the content of the theme unified environment setting, and the base file of the theme unified environment setting being provided ( An HTTP request for requesting a list of (archive file) is transmitted (S2, S3). The WEB server 32 transmits list display data of a plurality of base files including link destination information to the mobile phone 10 as an HTTP response in response to this request. Based on the HTTP response received from the WEB server 32, the WEB browser of the mobile phone 10 displays a list of base files for the unified theme environment setting on the screen of the display unit 125 (S4). Next, when the user selects a desired base file to be downloaded from the list of base files (S5), the WEB browser transmits an HTTP request for requesting the base file selected by the user to the WEB server 32, and is being downloaded. A message to the effect (message in DL) is displayed on the display unit 125 (S6).

  Here, the download of the base file selected by the user is, for example, a use (for example, “http: //” specified in OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) which is standardizing a WEB application technology by a mobile communication terminal. The following procedure may be followed in accordance with the specifications of www.openmobilealliance.org/ ", OMA-Download-OTA-v1_0" Generic Content Download Over The Air "). That is, when receiving the HTTP request for the base file, the WEB server 32 supplies a download descriptor corresponding to the requested base file to the WEB browser of the mobile phone 10. When the download descriptor is supplied, the WEB browser displays a DL confirmation screen, confirms the download to the user, and supplies the download script to the download agent. When the user instructs download, the WEB server 32 is requested to transmit a base file, and a message indicating that the download is in progress (message in DL) is displayed (S6). Note that the update file described later may also be downloaded according to a procedure compliant with the specifications defined by the OMA (Open Mobile Alliance).

  In the mobile phone 10, when the download of the base file is completed and the downloaded base file is stored in the archive file storage area 121a, the download agent notifies the WEB browser to that effect (S7). The WEB browser displays a predetermined confirmation message, and confirms whether or not the base file downloaded to the user is expanded into element data and set in the element data group for control (S8). When the user instructs the application of the downloaded base file (Yes in S8), the WEB browser displays a message indicating that the base file is being applied, and the element data of the base file stored in the archive file storage area 121a. (Image file, sound file) is developed in the element data storage area 121b as a set data group for control (S9). When the element data for which the expansion has been completed is set in the control setting data group, the display control unit 124 can generate image data of the display image corresponding to the new element data of the desired theme unified environment setting. Thus, the sound signal processing unit 123 can generate ringtone / ringtone melody data corresponding to the new element data (S10).

  When applying a base file downloaded from the WEB server 32, if a base file of another theme unified environment setting with a different content ID has already been applied, first, the elements of the base file being applied By deleting the file from the element data storage area 121b at once, the application of the base file is canceled and the initial setting is temporarily restored. Thereafter, the base file downloaded from the WEB server 32 is expanded as a setting data group for control in the element data storage area 121b, thereby applying the new base file.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the theme unified environment setting is updated by applying the update file in the mobile phone 10 having the above configuration. The download of the update file can be performed in the same manner as the base file shown in FIG.

  When the user instructs to apply the update file downloaded from the WEB server 32 by operating the mobile phone 10 (S1), the control unit 120 first has a base file having the same content ID as the update file to be applied. It is determined whether it is applied (S2).

  Here, when it is determined that the same content ID base file is not applied (No in S2), an image for confirming to the user whether or not to switch the theme unified environment setting is displayed (S2). That is, the user is confirmed to search for a base file having the same content ID as that of the update file and to apply the base file if the base user exists. If the user does not want to switch the theme uniform environment setting (No in S2), the process ends. When the user desires to switch the theme uniform environment setting (Yes in S2), the archive file storage area 121a of the internal memory 121 is searched for a base file having the same content ID as the update file (S3). If the archive file storage area is set in an external storage medium such as a memory card, the external storage medium is also searched. If there is no base file with the same content ID (No in S4), the process ends as it is. If a base file with the same content ID exists (Yes in S4), the application of the base file with a different currently applied content ID is canceled (S5), and the base file with the same content ID found in the search is applied. (S6). Thereafter, the update file newly downloaded from the WEB server 32 is applied (S7).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2 that the base file having the same content ID is applied (Yes in S2), the same content ID other than the update file newly downloaded from the WEB server 32 is further added. It is determined whether another update file is applied (S8). When it is determined that another update file with the same content ID is applied (Yes in S8), the application of the update file being applied is cancelled. That is, it returns to the state where only the base file having the same content ID is applied. Thereafter, the update file newly downloaded from the WEB server 32 is applied (S7). On the other hand, when it is determined that another update file with the same content ID is not applied (No in S8), that is, when it is determined that only the base file with the same content ID is applied, the state is left as it is. The update file newly downloaded from the WEB server 32 is applied (S7).

  When canceling the application of the base file or the update file for the theme unified environment setting in the mobile phone 10 having the above-described configuration, the following operation is performed. When canceling the application of the base file, regardless of whether the update file is applied or not, the element data (image file, sound file) of all items set in the element data storage area is the same as the theme unified environment. Reverts to the default settings that have not been set. On the other hand, when canceling the application of the update file, only the application of the update file is canceled and the application of the base file is maintained as it is. However, if the application state of the base file cannot be restored, it is restored to the initial setting state in which the theme uniform environment setting is not set.

  Further, in the mobile phone 10 having the above-described configuration, the main control unit 120 has the expiration date of the base file (for example, the S / D: Separate Delivery time limit defined in the OMA DRM (Digital Rights Management) specification). If it has expired, control may be performed so as to cancel the application of the base file whose expiration date has expired. Here, when update files with the same content ID are applied, the application of the base file as the base is canceled and the application of the update file with the same content ID is also canceled. On the other hand, when only the expiration date of the update file has expired, the application is canceled only for the update file whose expiration date has expired. The process for checking the expiration date of the base file or the update file is automatically executed at a specific operation timing of the mobile phone such as a timing for displaying a standby initial screen on the screen of the display unit 125. This check process may be executed at a timing instructed by the user.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when deleting the base file of the unified theme environment setting in the mobile phone 10 having the above configuration. When the user instructs to delete the base file by operating the mobile phone 10 (S1), first, the control unit 120 updates the archive file storage area 121a with the same content ID as the base file to be deleted. A file is searched (S2). If the archive file storage area is set in an external storage medium such as a memory card, the external storage medium is also searched. If an update file with the same content ID exists (Yes in S3), an image for confirming to the user that the update file with the same content ID is also deleted is displayed (S4). If the user does not want to delete the update file (in S4), the process ends. On the other hand, if the user wants to delete the update file (Yes in S4), first, the update file with the same content ID is deleted from the archive file storage area 121a (S5). Thereafter, the base file to be deleted is deleted from the archive file storage area 121a (S6).

  If there is no update file with the same content ID in step 3 (No in S3), the base file to be deleted is deleted from the archive file storage area 121a without performing the update file deletion process (S6).

  When deleting the update file of the theme unified environment setting, first, it is determined whether or not the update file to be deleted is being applied. If the update file is being applied, the application is canceled. Then, only the update file to be deleted is deleted from the archive file storage area 121a, and the base file having the same content ID is not deleted.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the update process of the element data included in the base file of the unified theme environment setting applied to the mobile phone is instructed, the update target is updated from the WEB server 32 accessed via the network.
