Further, the storage unit 301 stores the incoming mail and the unread flag in association with each other. In addition, the storage unit 301 stores schedule information including schedule item names and schedule times.

  The storage unit 301 stores a notification interval time and a notification duration time. The “notification interval time” here is the time from when the notification of charge setting is possible until when the notification of charge setting is possible again, and is set to 30 minutes, for example. For example, the timer unit 213 sets the notification interval time according to the operation input (time setting operation by the user) received by the operation input unit 141 and writes the notification interval time in the storage unit 301.

  The “notification duration” is the time from the start of the charge setting enable notification to the end of the notification, and is set to 1 minute, for example. For example, according to the operation input (time setting operation by the user) received by the operation input unit 141, the timer unit 213 sets the notification duration and writes it in the storage unit 301.

  Moreover, the display part 111 and the audio | voice output part 121 comprise the 1st notification part. When the notification determining unit 212 determines that the notification (charging setting possible notification) is to be performed, the first notification unit can perform the setting to perform charging setting, that is, to charge the secondary battery included in the power supply unit 182. Make a notice to that effect. For example, the notification determination unit 212 outputs image data of a message screen for prompting charging to the display control unit 112, and the display control unit 112 causes the display unit 111 to display a message for prompting charging according to the image data. Further, the notification determination unit 212 outputs the chime sound audio data to the audio processing unit 123, and the audio processing unit 123 causes the audio output unit 121 to output the chime sound according to the audio data.

  Note that the voice output unit 121 may repeatedly output a chime sound or may output a predetermined number of times (for example, once). Furthermore, when the first notification unit has a plurality of notification means, a different notification duration may be set for each notification means. For example, the display unit 111 may display a message prompting charging for 5 minutes, while the audio output unit 121 may output a chime sound for 10 seconds.

  In addition, when the first notification unit determines that the notification determination unit 212 performs notification (charging setting possible notification) and the e-mail function unit 215 determines that there is an unread e-mail, the first notification unit confirms the unread e-mail. A notification that prompts For example, the notification determination unit 212 outputs image data including a message prompting confirmation of an unread e-mail in addition to a message prompting charging to the display control unit 112, and the display control unit 112 performs charging according to the image data. A message prompting confirmation of unread e-mail and a message prompting confirmation is displayed on the display unit 111. The notification determination unit 212 outputs alarm sound data to the sound processing unit 123, and the sound processing unit 123 causes the sound output unit 121 to output an alarm sound according to the sound data.

  In addition, the first notification unit determines that the notification determination unit performs notification (charge setting available notification), and the schedule function unit determines that the schedule time has passed and there is unconfirmed schedule information, the unconfirmed Notification to prompt confirmation of schedule information of For example, the notification determination unit 212 outputs image data including a message prompting confirmation of an unconfirmed schedule in addition to a message prompting charging to the display control unit 112, and the display control unit 112 prompts charging according to the image data. A message prompting confirmation of the message and the unconfirmed schedule is displayed on the display unit 111. The notification determination unit 212 outputs alarm sound data to the sound processing unit 123, and the sound processing unit 123 causes the sound output unit 121 to output an alarm sound according to the sound data.

  In addition, the structure of a 1st notification part is not restricted to the structure by the display part 111 and the audio | voice process part 123 mentioned above, It can be set as various structures. For example, the first notification unit may be configured by either the display unit 111 or the voice processing unit 123, or the vibration unit 131 may configure the first notification unit and vibrate the mobile phone 1. You may make it notify by doing.

Moreover, the display part 111 and the audio | voice output part 121 comprise the 2nd notification part. When the duration time measured by the timer unit 213 is equal to or longer than a predetermined time (the notification interval time described above), the second notification unit can be notified by voice charging setting, that is, can be set to charge the secondary battery. Make a voice notification to the effect. At that time, when the first notification unit performs voice notification, the second notification unit performs voice notification with a volume larger than that of the first notification unit. As described above, in the present embodiment, the first notification unit includes the audio output unit 121 and performs audio notification. Therefore, in the second notification unit, the audio output unit 121 performs audio notification at a louder volume than when performing the audio notification as the first notification unit.
For example, the notification determination unit 212 outputs image data of a message screen for prompting charging to the display control unit 112, and the display control unit 112 causes the display unit 111 to display a message for prompting charging according to the image data. Further, the notification determination unit 212 outputs the chime sound data having a louder volume than the case of the first notification unit to the sound processing unit 123, and the sound processing unit 123 is the first notification unit according to the sound data. The sound output unit 121 outputs a chime sound having a louder volume than that.

  Note that the configuration of the second notification unit is not limited to the configuration of the display unit 111 and the audio processing unit 123 described above, and various configurations including the audio processing unit 123 may be employed. For example, the second notification unit may be configured by the voice processing unit 123, or the voice processing unit 123 and the vibration unit 131 may configure the first notification unit, output voice, and the mobile phone 1. You may make it notify by vibrating.

Further, as in the case of the first notification unit, the audio output unit 121 may repeatedly output a chime sound or may output a predetermined number of times. Furthermore, when the second notification unit includes a plurality of notification means, a different notification duration may be set for each notification means.
Similarly to the case of the first notification unit, the second notification unit may perform a notification for confirming an unread e-mail or a notification for confirming an unconfirmed schedule in addition to a notification for prompting charging.

Next, the operation of the mobile phone 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

On the other hand, when it is determined that charging is not being performed (step S101: NO), the notification determination unit 212 performs a charge setting enable notification based on determination of whether or not the mobile phone 1 is located in the charge setting enable area. Whether or not (step S111). When it determines with not being located in a charge setting possible area (step S111: NO), the notification determination part 212 determines not to perform charge setting possible notification, and complete | finishes the process of the same figure.

  On the other hand, when it determines with it being located in a charge setting possible area (step S111: YES), the notification determination part 212 determines to perform charge setting possible notification, and first determines the content of notification (step S121). Here, the notification determination unit 212 determines to notify that there is an unread e-mail when there is an unread e-mail in addition to the charge setting possible notification, and confirms the unread e-mail. Prompt. Further, if there is an unconfirmed schedule, the notification determination unit 212 decides to notify that there is an unconfirmed schedule, and prompts the user to confirm the unconfirmed schedule. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

Next, the display unit 111 and the audio output unit 121 as the first notification unit start notification of the content determined in step S121 (step S122).
For example, when it is determined in step S121 that only the charging setting possible notification is performed, as described above, the notification determination unit 212 outputs image data of a message screen that prompts charging to the display control unit 112, and the display control unit 112 Causes the display unit 111 to display a message prompting charging in accordance with the image data. Further, the notification determination unit 212 outputs the chime sound audio data to the audio processing unit 123, and the audio processing unit 123 causes the audio output unit 121 to output the chime sound according to the audio data.

  Alternatively, when it is determined in step S121 that notification that there is an unread e-mail (notification that prompts confirmation of unread e-mail) is made in addition to the notification that charging setting is possible, the notification determination unit 212, as described above, The display control unit 112 outputs image data including a message for prompting confirmation of unread e-mail in addition to the message for encouraging charging, to the display control unit 112. A message prompting confirmation is displayed on the display unit 111. The notification determination unit 212 outputs alarm sound data to the sound processing unit 123, and the sound processing unit 123 causes the sound output unit 121 to output an alarm sound according to the sound data.

  Alternatively, when it is determined in step S121 that notification that there is an unconfirmed schedule (notification that prompts confirmation of the unconfirmed schedule) is made in addition to the notification that the charging setting is possible, as described above, the notification determination unit 212 performs the charging. Image data including a message prompting confirmation of an unconfirmed schedule in addition to a message prompting confirmation is output to the display control unit 112, and the display control unit 112 prompts confirmation of a message prompting charging and an unconfirmed schedule according to the image data. The message is displayed on the display unit 111. The notification determination unit 212 outputs alarm sound data to the sound processing unit 123, and the sound processing unit 123 causes the sound output unit 121 to output an alarm sound according to the sound data.

  Alternatively, when it is determined in step S121 that notification that there is an unread e-mail and notification that there is an unconfirmed schedule are made in addition to the notification that charging setting is possible, the notification determination unit 212 prompts charging. In addition, the display control unit 112 outputs image data including a message for confirming an unread e-mail and a message for confirming an unconfirmed schedule to the display control unit 112. The display control unit 112 performs charging according to the image data. A message prompting confirmation of unread e-mail and a message prompting confirmation of an unconfirmed schedule are displayed on the display unit 111. The notification determination unit 212 outputs alarm sound data to the sound processing unit 123, and the sound processing unit 123 causes the sound output unit 121 to output an alarm sound according to the sound data.

In addition, the timer unit 213 resets its own timer to zero, and starts measuring the elapsed time (timer count-up) after starting notification in step S122 (step S122).
Then, the notification determination unit 212 compares the elapsed time when the timer unit 213 started measurement in step S122 with the notification duration stored in the storage unit 301, and determines whether or not the notification duration has elapsed. (Step S123). If it is determined that the notification duration has elapsed (step S123: YES), the first notification unit ends the notification started in step S122 (step S131). For example, when only the charging setting notification is performed, the display unit 111 ends the display of the message for prompting charging, and the audio output unit 121 ends the output of the chime sound.
Then, the mobile phone 1 performs a re-notification process described later with reference to FIG. 4 (step S132), and thereafter ends the process of FIG.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S123 that the notification duration has not elapsed (step S123: NO), the notification determination unit 212 determines whether or not the operation input unit 141 has received a confirmation operation input (step S141). ). The “confirmation operation input” here is an operation input indicating that the user has confirmed the notification content.
For example, a determination key of the operation input unit 141 is set in advance as a confirmation key. When the operation input unit 141 accepts pressing of the enter key while the charge setting enable notification is being performed, the notification determination unit 212 determines that the operation input unit 141 has received a confirmation operation input.
Further, when notification that there is an unread e-mail in step S122, the notification determination unit 212 is also performed when the operation input unit 141 receives an operation input for displaying the unread e-mail on the display unit 111. Determines that the operation input unit 141 has received a confirmation operation input.
In addition, when the notification that there is an unconfirmed schedule is performed in step S122, the notification determination unit 212 also receives an operation input that causes the display unit 111 to display an unconfirmed schedule. It is determined that the operation input unit 141 has received a confirmation operation input.

  In step S141, when it is determined that the confirmation operation input is not received (step S141: NO), the charging unit 181 determines whether or not the secondary battery included in the power supply unit 182 is charged (step S151). . When it is determined that charging is not performed (step S151: NO), the notification determination unit 212 determines whether or not the mobile phone 1 is located in the charge setting possible area (step S161). When it determines with it being located in a charge setting possible area (step S161: YES), it returns to step S123.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S141 that a confirmation operation input has been accepted (step S141: YES), if it is determined in step S151 that charging is being performed (step S151: YES), or in step S161, the charging setting is set. When it determines with not being located in a possible area (step S161: NO), a 1st notification part complete | finishes the notification started by step S122 (step S171). Thereafter, the mobile phone 1 ends the process of FIG. Then, for example, after 1 hour has passed since the process of FIG. 2 is completed, the mobile phone 1 repeats the process of FIG.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in which the mobile phone 1 determines notification contents. The cellular phone 1 performs the process of FIG. 3 in step S121 of FIG. 2 and step S331 of FIG.
In FIG. 3, first, the e-mail function unit 215 determines whether or not there is an unread e-mail (step S201). When it is determined that there is no unread e-mail (step S201: NO), the schedule function unit 216 determines whether there is an unconfirmed schedule (step S211). When it is determined that there is no unconfirmed schedule (step S211: NO), the notification determination unit 212 determines the notification content as a charge setting possible notification (step S221). Thereafter, the cellular phone 1 ends the process of FIG.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S211 that there is an unconfirmed schedule (step S211: YES), the notification determination unit 212 determines the notification content as a charge setting enable notification and a notification that there is an unconfirmed schedule (step S21). S231). Thereafter, the cellular phone 1 ends the process of FIG.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S201 that there is an unread e-mail (step S201: YES), the schedule function unit 216 determines whether there is an unconfirmed schedule (step S241). When it is determined that there is no unconfirmed schedule (step S241: NO), the notification determination unit 212 determines the notification contents as a charge setting enable notification and a notification that there is an unread e-mail (step S251). Thereafter, the cellular phone 1 ends the process of FIG.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S241 that there is an unconfirmed schedule (step S241: YES), the notification determination unit 212 includes a notification that the charging setting is possible, a notification that there is an unread e-mail, and an unconfirmed schedule. Is determined to be present (step S261). Thereafter, the cellular phone 1 ends the process of FIG.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in which the mobile phone 1 performs a re-notification of a charge setting possible notification. The cellular phone 1 performs the process of FIG. 4 in step S132 of FIG.
In FIG. 4, first, the timer unit 213 resets its own timer to zero, and measures the elapsed time (timer count-up) after performing the charge setting possible notification in FIG. ) Is started (step S301).

Next, the movement presence / absence determination unit 211 determines whether the mobile phone 1 has moved based on the position related information acquired by the position related information acquisition unit 101 (step S302). If it is determined that the mobile phone 1 has moved (step S302: YES), the mobile phone 1 ends the process of FIG.
On the other hand, when it determines with the mobile telephone 1 not moving (step S302: NO), the charging part 181 determines whether the secondary battery which the power supply part 182 has is charging (step S311). When it determines with charging (step S311: YES), the mobile telephone 1 complete | finishes the process of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that charging is not being performed (step S311: NO), the notification determination unit 212 calculates the elapsed time when the timer unit 213 started measurement in step S301 and the notification interval time stored in the storage unit 301. In comparison, it is determined whether or not the notification interval time has elapsed (step S321). If it is determined that the notification interval time has not elapsed (step S321: NO), the process returns to step S302.

  On the other hand, when it determines with notification interval time having passed (step S321: YES), the notification determination part 212 determines with performing the charge setting possible notification. Then, the mobile phone 1 performs the process described with reference to FIG. 3 and determines the notification content (step S331).

Next, the display unit 111 and the audio output unit 121 as the second notification unit start notification of the content determined in step S331 (step S332). In that case, the audio | voice output part 121 performs audio | voice notification with a louder volume than the case where audio | voice notification is performed as a 1st notification part in step S122 (FIG. 2).
For example, when it is determined in step S331 that only the charging setting possible notification is to be performed, the display unit 111 displays a message prompting charging as in the case of step S122. In addition, the audio output unit 121 outputs a chime sound with a louder volume than in the case of step S122.

In addition, the timer unit 213 resets its own timer to zero, and starts measuring the elapsed time (timer count-up) after starting the charge setting possible notification in step S332 (step S333).
Then, the notification determination unit 212 compares the elapsed time when the timer unit 213 starts measurement in step S333 and the notification duration stored in the storage unit 301 to determine whether or not the notification duration has elapsed. (Step S334).
When it is determined that the notification continuation time has not elapsed (step S334: NO), the notification determination unit 212 determines whether the operation input unit 141 has received a confirmation operation input (step S341).
When it is determined that the confirmation operation input has not been received (step S341: NO), the charging unit 181 determines whether or not the secondary battery included in the power supply unit 182 is charged (step S351). When it is determined that charging is not performed (step S351: NO), the notification determination unit 212 determines whether or not the mobile phone 1 is located in the charge setting possible area (step S361). When it determines with it being located in a charge setting possible area (step S361: YES), it returns to step S334.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S334 that the notification duration has elapsed (step S334: YES),
If it is determined in step S341 that a confirmation operation input has been received (step S341: YES), if it is determined in step S351 that charging is being performed (step S351: YES), or in step S361, a charge setting possible area When it determines with not being located in (step S361: NO), a 2nd notification part complete | finishes the notification started by step S332 (step S371). Thereafter, the mobile phone 1 ends the process of FIG.

As described above, after the display unit 111 and the audio output unit 121 serving as the first notification unit make a charge setting possible notification, the movement presence / absence determination unit 211 determines whether or not the mobile phone 1 has moved. When the movement presence / absence determination unit 211 determines that the mobile phone 1 is not moving, the charging unit 181 determines whether or not the secondary battery included in the power supply unit 182 is charged. Furthermore, the notification determination unit 212 determines that the mobile phone 1 has not moved since the notification of charge setting is possible, and determines that the secondary battery included in the power supply unit 182 is not charged. It is determined whether or not the continuation time is equal to or longer than a predetermined notification interval time, and if it is determined that the duration is equal to or longer than the notification interval time, the display unit 111 and the audio output unit 121 as the second notification unit notify Again. In that case, the audio | voice output part 121 performs notification with a louder volume than the case of the charge setting possible notification as a 1st notification part.

Here, even if the display unit 111 and the audio output unit 121 serving as the first notification unit make a notification that the charging setting is possible, the movement of the mobile phone 1 is not detected, and the secondary battery included in the power supply unit 182 is not detected. When the state in which charging is not detected continues, the mobile phone 1 is likely to be misplaced.
For example, when the mobile phone 1 is misplaced in a bag or when it is misplaced in a room different from the room where the user is, the user does not notice the charge setting available notification. Can be left as it is.

As described above, when the mobile phone 1 is misplaced in the bag or when it is misplaced in a room different from the room where the user is located, the second is used when the notification to the user is relatively difficult. The voice output unit 121 as the notification unit notifies the user that the mobile phone 1 can be charged more reliably by performing notification at a higher volume.
If it is determined that the mobile phone 1 is not moving, the user may not have the habit of carrying the mobile phone 1. In such a case, the mobile phone 1 (the display unit 111 and the audio output unit 121 as the second notification unit) notifies the user, thereby notifying the user that the mobile phone 1 is not carried. It may be customary to carry the mobile phone 1.

  Further, when the movement presence / absence determination unit 211 determines whether or not the mobile phone 1 has moved, the user can carry the mobile phone 1 and when the notification to the user is relatively easy, It is possible to suppress the power consumption of the mobile phone 1 by suppressing the notification in the mobile phone 1.

In addition, when the charging unit 181 receives the radio wave transmitted from the charger and starts charging the secondary battery included in the power supply unit 182, the vibration unit 131 performs notification by vibrating the mobile phone 1. . Thereby, the presence or absence of the charge to the secondary battery which the power supply part 182 has can be notified to a user more reliably.
For example, when the mobile phone 1 has a light emitting diode (LED) and notifies the start of charging by causing the light emitting diode to emit light, the light emitting diode is disposed on a surface that cannot be seen by the user. The user needs to confirm the presence or absence of light emission of the light emitting diode by changing the direction of the mobile phone 1 to confirm the presence or absence of charging, which is troublesome for the user. Further, when the mobile phone 1 notifies the start of charging using voice, the user may not be able to hear the notification voice when the ambient noise is high. Therefore, the vibration unit 131 vibrates the mobile phone 1 to notify the start of charging, so that the user can be more surely notified of whether or not the secondary battery included in the power supply unit 182 is charged.

When the notification determination unit 212 determines that notification is to be performed and the e-mail function unit 215 determines that there is an unread e-mail, the display unit 111 and the audio output unit 121 as the first notification unit or the second notification unit. In addition to the notification that charging setting is possible, the notification that prompts the user to confirm unread e-mail is performed.
Here, when there is an unread e-mail, it is considered that the user has no habit of checking the e-mail, and as a result, there is a possibility that there is no habit of carrying the mobile phone 1 and using the mobile phone 1.

  In such a case, the display unit 111 and the voice output unit 121 serving as the first notification unit or the second notification unit perform notification that prompts confirmation of unread e-mail, thereby indicating that the e-mail has not been read. It is possible to make it a habit to check e-mails and to make it a habit to carry the mobile phone 1 and use the mobile phone 1.

When the notification determination unit 212 determines that notification is to be performed and the schedule function unit 216 determines that there is an unconfirmed schedule, the display unit 111 and the audio output unit 121 as the first notification unit or the second notification unit In addition to the notification that charging setting is possible, a notification that prompts confirmation of an unconfirmed schedule is performed.
Here, when there is an unconfirmed schedule, it is considered that the user has no habit of confirming the schedule. As a result, there is a possibility that there is no habit of carrying the mobile phone 1 and using the mobile phone 1.

  In such a case, the display unit 111 and the audio output unit 121 serving as the first notification unit or the second notification unit perform notification for prompting confirmation of the unconfirmed schedule, thereby notifying the user that the schedule has not been confirmed. Therefore, it is possible to make a habit of confirming the schedule, and by extension, it is possible to make a habit of carrying the mobile phone 1 and using the mobile phone 1.
