Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for notifying a user of a usage state of an application stored in an information terminal device.

An application (for example, news or weather forecast) stored in a memory of a mobile phone or the like as an information terminal device is known to be activated by a predetermined user operation and use the application. .
For each application, the amount of data communication, the amount of resources used by a CPU such as a mobile phone, the communication fee, etc. are different.

  Even if the above application is started, the radio wave condition of a mobile phone or the like is bad and the application may not be used comfortably. Specifically, immediately after starting the application, when connecting to the Internet or the like to acquire information (for example, current news or weather forecast) from a predetermined server or the like, the server connected to the Internet or the like is connected. If the communication time for accessing the application is long, the application cannot be used substantially immediately, and the waiting time for starting the use of the application becomes long, which is inconvenient (uncomfortable) for the user. Further, if the communication time connected to the Internet or the like is long, a communication fee is added accordingly.

  It has been widely known that the user can be notified of the radio wave status of a mobile phone or the like by increasing or decreasing the number of icons displayed on the three bars. Because the amount of communication was different, it was not possible to actually start the application and connect to the Internet.

Further, not only the radio wave state of the mobile phone and the like described above, there are cases where the application cannot be comfortably used even when the application is activated. Specifically, when the user feels inconvenience due to slow operation of the application when the resource usage such as CPU of the application is large and exceeds the predetermined CPU usage rate, memory usage or remaining battery power There is.
In these cases, it was not known if the application could be used comfortably without actually starting the application.

  As a related technology, a technology is disclosed in which a connection to the Internet is constantly performed, a state change (incoming mail, homepage update, etc.) is checked, and when a state change occurs, the icon is changed and clearly shown to the user (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2004-341705 A

  However, the above related technology changes the icon when a state change occurs, but the state change is only a check for incoming mail, homepage update, etc., and can the application of the information terminal device be used comfortably? It is difficult to notify the user before starting the actual application use, such as immediately after starting the application, or because it is always connected to the Internet, so communication charges are not considered .

  An object of the present invention is to provide an information terminal device, a usage state notification method, and a program capable of notifying a user about whether an application can be comfortably used before starting the actual application such as immediately after starting the application or immediately after starting the application. It is to provide.

  The information terminal device of the present invention indicates the usage state of the application when the application in the own device is activated and used to the user before or during the activation of the application according to the current resource status of the own device. It is characterized by notifying.

The usage status notification method of the present invention comprises the step of grasping the current resource status of the device,

Has a function to record and link. It may be realized by a CPU or the like.

  Next, processing operations in the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Hereinafter, a procedure for recording data on the HDD 1 and a procedure for determining whether an application can be comfortably used using the data recorded on the HDD 1 will be described separately.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a procedure for recording data in the HDD 1.
Referring to FIG. 3, the application activation unit 11 of the mobile phone 10 activates one application (for example, news or weather forecast) stored in a predetermined storage unit (ROM, HDD, etc.) of the mobile phone 10 (for example, news or weather forecast). S301). The activation timing may be automatic setting of the mobile phone 10 or may be in accordance with a user operation.
The radio wave state confirmation unit 12 of the mobile phone 10 confirms the radio wave state of the mobile phone 10 (S302). A known mechanism (including an antenna) for notifying the user of the radio wave state by increasing or decreasing the number of displayed icons of the three bars may be used.
The data communication measuring unit 13 of the mobile phone 10 measures the data communication amount and the data communication time in the application activated by the application activation unit 11 (S303). Data communication time is, for example, access when connecting to a predetermined network immediately after starting an application such as news or weather forecast and acquiring information (for example, current news or weather forecast) from a predetermined server or the like Communication time.
Then, the application activation unit 11 of the mobile phone 10 uses, for example, a table as shown in FIG. 4 in the HDD 1 of the mobile phone 10, the application name, the data communication amount / data communication time (by the data communication measurement unit 13). And the data of the radio wave state (by the radio wave state confirmation unit 12) is recorded (S304). It should be noted that the radio wave condition is worse as dBm is negatively larger. By repeating the above steps S301 to S304, a plurality of data is accumulated, and what data communication time is required for which radio wave condition and what amount of data communication is recorded. Further, steps S301 to S304 are repeated for other applications.
In addition to immediately after starting the application, if there is a case where information (for example, current news or weather forecast) is acquired from a predetermined server by connecting to a predetermined network, the access at that time is performed. Data communication time or the like may be measured and stored.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a procedure for determining whether an application can be comfortably used using data recorded in the HDD 1. For the sake of specific explanation, it is assumed that there is data as shown in FIG. 4 in the HDD 1, the icon of the application A is displayed on the display, and it is determined whether the application A can be used comfortably.
Referring to FIG. 5, the application search unit 14 of the mobile phone 10 displays various data (application name, data communication amount / data communication) of a predetermined application (here, application A) displayed by an icon on a display mechanism such as a display. It is searched whether or not the time and the radio wave state are recorded in a table or the like as shown in FIG. 4 of the HDD 1, and those data are transferred to the data communication amount prediction unit 15 (S 501). Note that nothing is performed when there is no data of application A in the HDD 1.
The data communication amount prediction unit 15 of the mobile phone 10 predicts the data communication amount when the application A is used from the weighted average of the data communication amount of the application A, and receives the predicted data communication amount from the application search unit 14. The various data (application name, data communication amount / data communication time, and radio wave condition) are passed to the communication time prediction unit 16 (S502). Specifically, the data communication amount is predicted to be 11 KB ((10 + 8 + 15 + 11) / 4) from the average of the data communication amount of application A.
The data communication time prediction unit 16 of the mobile phone 10 obtains the current radio wave state from the radio wave state confirmation unit 12 (S503), and the radio wave state close to the current radio wave state (for example, the current radio wave state + -5 dBm or the like). Data or the like is detected, the data communication time is predicted from the communication speed, and the predicted data communication time is passed to the comfortable use determination unit 17 (S504). For example, when the current radio wave state is −60 dBm, a value close to −60 dBm (−55 dBm to −65 dBm) is detected from various data (see FIG. 4). In this case, only the data (1) is detected, the data communication speed is 10 KB / second (10 / 1.0), and the communication time is predicted to be 1.1 seconds (11/10). When the current radio wave state is −85 dBm, a value close to −85 dBm (−80 dBm to −90 dBm) is detected from various data (see FIG. 4). In this case, the data (2) and (3) are detected. When a plurality of data is detected, the weighted average of the data communication amount and the data communication time may be calculated. The data communication amount is 11.5 KB, the data communication time is 2.65 seconds, and the communication speed is 4 .34 KB / second (11.5 / 2.65), and the data communication time is estimated to be 2.53 seconds (11 / 4.34).
The comfortable use determination unit 17 of the mobile phone 10 makes a determination such as “comfortable use”, “use with patience”, and “cannot use” from the predicted communication time, and passes the result to the display unit 18 ( S505). The determination of “comfortable use”, “use with patience”, or “cannot use” is, for example, “the user can use comfortably” because the waiting time of the user is short if the predicted communication time is within 2 seconds, 10 seconds If it is within the range, the user's waiting time is not long, so it can be determined in advance that “it can be used if it is patient”, and if it exceeds 10 seconds, the user's waiting time is long so that it cannot be used. May be set (by the setting adjustment unit 19). As described above, when the radio wave condition is -60 dBm, the predicted data communication time is 1.1 seconds, so that it can be "comfortably used" when the radio wave state is -60 dBm, and the predicted data communication time is -85 dBm. Since it is 2.53 seconds, “If you endure, you can use it”. When setting for each application, the setting adjustment unit 19 sets a threshold (time) used for determination such as “can be used comfortably”, “can be used if patience”, “cannot be used”, etc. And the application and the threshold value (time) are linked and recorded in the HDD 2 (the HDD 1 may be shared).
The display unit 18 of the mobile phone 10 is a comfortable usage determination unit when the user moves the cursor or the like to the icon of the application displayed by the icon on a display mechanism such as a display by a predetermined operation, that is, before the application is started. The judgment results of “comfortable use”, “use with patience”, and “unusable” according to 17 are notified (S506). For example, as shown in FIG. 1, so-called balloon display may be performed. Depending on the determination result, the shape, size, color, etc. may be changed or characters etc. may be added and displayed. The notification of the determination result may be made not only by a visual appealing display but also by a sound appealing to hearing, smell, touch, etc., smell, touch, etc.
Further, not only before the application is started but also immediately after the application is started, the user may be notified at the stage before the user can actually start using the application.
In addition, instead of displaying balloons such as “comfortable use”, “use with patience”, and “not available”, the current radio wave status, predicted data communication time, predicted data communication speed, predicted data communication volume, etc. Or the like, and may allow the user to determine whether or not the user can use the device comfortably.
Further, the icon color (icon background, icon mark, etc.) may be changed and specified without placing the cursor on the icon.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment described above, whether or not the application can be comfortably used is determined in the radio wave state, but differs in that it is determined based on the CPU usage rate. Since the basic device configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, a duplicate description is omitted.

Specifically, it is recorded as follows.

  By accumulating data, it becomes possible to know how much memory the corresponding application uses, and it is possible to determine how much memory remaining capacity before using the application can comfortably use the application.

  For example, if the remaining memory capacity during use of the application is less than 50 MB, and it is determined that the application cannot be used comfortably, the remaining memory capacity before starting the application is 61 MB (the maximum memory usage of 11 MB is added to the above 50 MB). Addition) means “comfortable use”.

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment, whether the application can be used comfortably is determined based on the radio wave state, in the second embodiment, the CPU usage rate is determined. In the embodiment, the determination is based on the amount of memory used, but is different in that the determination is based on the remaining battery level. Note that the basic apparatus configuration and processing operations are the same as those in the first to third embodiments described above, and therefore, redundant description will be omitted, and only the characteristic part will be described.

  The HDD 1 records the application name, the remaining battery level before using the application, the remaining battery level after using the application, and the application activation time in a table as shown in FIG. However, do not collect data during charging.

  By accumulating data, it becomes possible to know how much battery the application uses, and from the remaining battery level before using the application, it is possible to determine how long the application can be used later.

Specifically, for example, the determination is made as follows.
First, for each data, the battery consumed per minute is calculated. in this case,
(1) is 0.30% / min ((80.0-75.5) / 15),
(2) is 0.31% / min ((50.0-48.0) /6.5),
(3) is 0.29% / min ((30.0-22.5) / 26),
(4) is 0.30% / min ((100.0-80.5) / 65).
Next, a weighted average is obtained for each application. In this case, it is 0.30% / min.
The amount of time that the application can be used is calculated from the remaining battery power before the application is started, and is displayed with a balloon. If it is 20%, a balloon display such as “It can be used for about 1 hour and 6 minutes” is displayed.
In addition, when it is determined that charging is necessary when the remaining battery level reaches 10%, the time until it reaches 10% may be displayed. At that time, when the remaining battery level is 10% or less, a balloon display indicating “unusable” is displayed.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the determination by the comfortable use determining unit such as “comfortable use” and “not comfortable use” may be made at various levels and classifications. Further, the display on the display unit includes everything that can inform the user of the usability by any method.

  Each of the above-described embodiments is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, processing for realizing the function of the device may be performed by causing the device to read and execute a program for realizing the function of the mobile phone. Further, the program is transmitted to another computer system by a transmission wave via a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a magneto-optical disk, or via a transmission medium such as the Internet or a telephone line.
