<6. Functional configuration of mobile communication device>
Next, the functional configuration of the mobile communication device will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the smartphone 150. As shown in FIG. 6, the smartphone 150 includes a control unit (computer) 611, a memory unit 612, a display unit 613, an earphone jack connector unit 614, a microphone unit 615, a speaker unit 616, a camera unit 617, a wireless communication unit 618, an external device. A communication I / F unit 619 and a power supply control unit 620 are provided.

  The control unit 611 implements an action body toy operation function to be described later by reading various programs and data stored in the memory unit 612 and executing processing.

  The memory unit 612 stores an operation body toy operation application 600 for realizing an operation body toy operation function. The action body toy operation application 600 includes a display control program 601 that controls display on the display unit 613, a sound output control program 602 that controls sound output to the speaker unit 520 of the action body toy 100, and the action of the action body toy 100. A motor drive control program 603 for outputting a control signal to the control unit 530;

  The display unit 613 displays various images under the control of the display control program 601. Note that the display unit 613 has a touch panel function, and the user can input various instructions by directly touching the display unit 613.

  The earphone jack connector section 614 is normally connected to an earphone jack, and outputs an audio signal (stereo signal) to the connected earphone jack. In the present embodiment, when the earphone jack 114 is connected and the action body toy operation application 600 is activated, an audio signal and a control signal are output.

  The microphone unit 615 detects a user's voice and is usually used during a call or the like. In addition, when the moving body toy operation application 600 is activated, it is used to detect a voice instruction from the user.

  The speaker unit 616 is used to output sound in a state where the earphone jack is not connected to the earphone jack connector unit 614, and is usually used when listening to music or talking.

  The camera unit 617 is used when capturing a still image or a moving image. However, in the present embodiment, it is possible to operate even when the moving body toy operation application 600 is activated. In this case, a still image or a moving image captured through the camera unit 617 is processed, and the Based on the processing result, the display content of the display unit 613 is changed, the audio signal output to the speaker unit 520 of the moving body toy 100 is changed, or the control signal output to the operation control unit 530 of the moving body toy 100 is generated.

The audio signal output to the speaker unit 520 can be changed, or the control signal output to the operation control unit 530 of the moving body toy 100 can be changed.

  The external communication I / F unit 619 is used when a communication cable is connected to an external device in order to perform wired communication with the external device. Since the audio signal and control signal output to the action toy 100 are output via the earphone jack connector unit 614 as described above, the external communication I / F unit 619 is output when these signals are output. Is never used.

  The power supply control unit 620 has a function of managing an internal battery (not shown) that supplies power to each unit of the smartphone 150, and can monitor the remaining capacity of the internal battery. When the action body toy operation application 600 is activated, the power supply control unit 620 outputs to the operation control unit 530 in response to detecting that the remaining capacity of the internal battery is equal to or less than a predetermined value. By adding that fact to the control signal to be performed, it is possible to change the operation content in the moving body toy 100.

<7. Flow of processing in mobile communication equipment>
Next, the flow of processing in the mobile communication device will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a process flow in the smartphone 150 for operating the moving toy 100 using the smartphone 150.

  After the smartphone 150 is turned on, the earphone jack 114 is connected, and the process shown in FIG. 7 is started with the smartphone 150 fitted to the head 110 of the moving body toy 100.

  In step S701, the action body toy operation application 600 is activated in accordance with an instruction from the user. In step S <b> 702, the instruction content input by the user via the touch panel function of the display unit 613 is recognized.

  In step S <b> 703, it is determined whether the instruction content input in step S <b> 702 is an instruction for ending the moving body toy operation application 600. If it is determined in step S703 that the instruction is for ending the moving body toy movement application 600, the process proceeds to step S707, where the movement body toy movement application 600 is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the instruction content input in step S702 is not an instruction for ending the moving body toy operation application 600, the process proceeds to step S704.

  In step S704, it is determined whether or not the remaining capacity of the internal battery detected by power supply control unit 620 of smartphone 150 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. If it is determined in step S704 that the value is not less than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S705, and control is performed so as to perform an operation corresponding to the instruction content input in step S702. Specifically, a face image corresponding to the instruction content is displayed on the display unit 613, an audio signal corresponding to the instruction content is output to the operating toy 100, or a control signal corresponding to the instruction content is output to the operating toy 100. Or output to

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S704 that the value is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S706 to control to perform the operation corresponding to the instruction content input in step S702, and to control the signal corresponding to the instruction content. Is output to the moving body toy 100 together with a control signal indicating that the remaining capacity of the internal battery is equal to or less than a predetermined value. Thereby, in the action | operation body toy 100 which received the said control signal, each operation motor 541-546 can be operated with the operation speed slower than a normal operation speed.

  In this way, when the remaining capacity of the internal battery is reduced, the user can perform a slow operation of the moving toy 100 (that is, the movement of a dog without energy) by reducing the operating speed of the moving toy 100. It can be seen that the smartphone 150 needs to be charged.

  After controlling to perform the operation corresponding to the instruction content in step S705 or step S706, the process returns to step S702 and waits for the next instruction input by the user.

  By repeating the above processing, the user can handle the moving body toy 100 as a pseudo pet.

<8. Example>
