Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile terminal having a touch panel and a mobile terminal program, and particularly to a technique for preventing the malfunction.

  In recent years, especially after the advent of smartphones, mobile terminals have come to be equipped with touch panels that can operate screens by touching a display such as a liquid crystal panel. An input device having a touch panel accepts an input when the user directly touches the display screen with a fingertip or the like, so that the user can perform an extremely intuitive operation. In order to prevent such an erroneous operation of input to the touch panel, for example, in Patent Document 1, when a touch operation is expected to be an unintended operation such as when a charging device is connected, the operation is invalidated. To prevent accidental operation.

JP 2011-34196 A

  In a mobile terminal with a conventional numeric keypad, the buttons used for off-hook when receiving a voice call are buttons that are not used for application operations such as browser operations and games. Even if there was an incoming call, there was no mistaken operation of the call function with the button that was pressed to operate the application.

  However, in a portable terminal that operates all applications with a single touch panel, since an off-hook operation is also performed with a soft button on the touch panel, an application (browser, game, etc.) that was intentionally started by the user is operated. There was a problem that an application (voice incoming call) that was activated by interruption was intentionally touched, and a button that refuses incoming calls or a button that responds to incoming calls was unintentionally touched. Even if it is a technique like patent document 1, if it hold | maintains in a hand or visually recognizes a display screen, since the operation outside a specific area is not still invalid, this subject cannot fully be solved.

  The present invention has been made in view of this point, and an object of the present invention is to prevent an erroneous operation of an application activated by a voice incoming call interrupt in a mobile terminal having a touch panel.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, an input monitoring unit for monitoring an input operation to the touch panel input unit is provided.

Specifically, the first invention presupposes a mobile terminal capable of communication,
The mobile device

A touch panel having a display area for notifying the user that there is an incoming voice call;
A central control unit that displays in the display area that there is an incoming voice call;
A touch panel input unit that accepts a predetermined operation by selecting a screen on the touch panel;
An input monitoring unit that monitors whether the input to the touch panel input unit is as intended by the user;
The input monitoring unit includes detection means for detecting an operation on the touch panel input unit, and the input monitoring unit monitors an operation for accepting or rejecting an incoming voice call to the touch panel input unit,
The central control unit is configured to prevent erroneous operation based on the detection result of the input monitoring unit.

  According to the above configuration, the operation detected by the touch panel input unit at the time of interruption of the screen that displays that there is an incoming voice call is determined by the input monitoring unit to be the user's intention, and the central control unit determines from the determination result By performing the control, an erroneous operation of unintentionally rejecting an incoming call rejection button or an incoming call response button is prevented.

In the second invention, the portable terminal program is:
For computers built into mobile devices,
A function to display on the touch panel to notify the user that there is an incoming voice call;
A function for accepting a predetermined operation by selecting a screen on the touch panel;
The operation on the touch panel is monitored when there is an incoming voice call. When an operation is performed on the touch panel when there is an incoming voice call, the operation on the touch panel is prohibited for a certain period of time. When not performed, a function that enables an operation of accepting or rejecting an incoming voice call is realized.

  According to the above configuration, the operation of the touch panel is monitored at the time of interruption of the screen that displays that there is an incoming voice call, and when the operation is performed, the operation on the touch panel is prohibited for a certain period of time. It is possible to prevent an erroneous operation such as touching a button for rejecting an incoming call or a button for responding to an incoming call.

  As described above, according to the present invention, a display notifying the user that a voice call has been received is displayed on the touch panel, and the operation on the touch panel input unit when the voice call is received is monitored, and the voice call is received. When there is an operation on the touch panel input unit, the operation on the touch panel input unit is prohibited for a certain period of time, and when there is no operation on the touch panel input unit, an operation to accept or reject a voice call is possible By doing so, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation of an application activated by a voice incoming call interruption.

It is a block diagram of the system of the mobile phone of this embodiment. It is a block diagram of a mobile phone. It is a flowchart explaining the process performed in a mobile telephone.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an outline of a communication system including a mobile phone 1 as a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mobile phone 1 makes a voice call with another mobile phone 1 by communicating with the base station 4 connected to the wireless communication network 3 via the exchange 2.

  FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the mobile phone 1. The mobile phone 1 includes a central control unit 5, a RAM 6 (Random Access Memory) and a ROM 7 (Read Only Memory), a wireless communication unit 8, a touch panel input unit 9, and a touch panel. 10, an input monitoring unit 11, a speaker 12, a vibrator 13, and the like. The central control unit 5 is configured using a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or the like. The central control unit 5 performs overall control of the mobile phone 1 based on programs and data stored in the RAM 6 or the ROM 7 and realizes various functions provided by the mobile phone 1. In the present embodiment, the input monitoring unit 11 is an in-camera, but a proximity sensor or the like may be used.

  The RAM 6 includes a determination method setting information storage unit 6a for storing determination method setting information for determining the validity of the operation of the input monitoring unit 11 performed on the input unit 9, and the ROM 7 stores programs and data. ing.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining processing performed in the mobile phone 1. In step S1001, the mobile phone 1 monitors whether there is an incoming voice call while the power is on. When the mobile phone 1 detects an incoming voice call, the mobile phone 1 proceeds to step S1002 to start a voice incoming call process by playing a ringtone with the speaker 12 or generating a vibration with the vibrator 13.

  Next, in step S1003, it is determined whether a user operation has been performed based on whether the touch panel 10 is lit.

  When the touch panel 10 is turned off, the process proceeds to step S1004, where it is determined that the user has not performed an operation using the touch panel input unit 9, and it is determined that no erroneous operation has occurred. In order to save power, the input monitoring unit 11 is not activated, the touch panel 10 is turned on, and, for example, the text “received an incoming call” is displayed, and then a voice incoming call determination such as “Do you want to receive an incoming call?” Display the screen.

  On the other hand, when the touch panel 10 is lit, the process proceeds to step S1005, where it is determined that there is a possibility that the user is operating the touch panel input unit 9, and the in-camera that is the input monitoring unit 11 is activated.

  Next, in step S1006, the determination method setting information storage unit 6a determines whether the user is operating the touch panel input unit 9. In the case of an in-camera, a finger is detected by an image recognition system. The algorithm of the image recognition system at this time includes template matching as a general technique, but is not limited to this technique.

  If no finger is detected based on the determination result of the image recognition system, it is determined that no erroneous operation occurs, the process proceeds to step S1007, the in-camera (input monitoring unit 11) is terminated, and a voice incoming call determination screen is displayed in step S1004. To do.

  On the other hand, when a finger is detected based on the determination result of the image recognition system, the process proceeds to step S1008 and input by the touch panel input unit 9 is prohibited for a certain time (for example, about 1 second) to prevent an erroneous operation by the user. In step S1007, the in-camera (input monitoring unit 11) is terminated, and a voice incoming call determination screen is displayed in step S1004. At this time, it is made clear that the user is prohibited from operating the touch panel input unit 9 on the voice incoming call determination screen.

  When the prohibition of input by the touch panel input unit 9 is released after a certain time has elapsed, the user can perform an operation on the voice incoming call determination screen, and takes an incoming call or performs an incoming call rejection operation.

  Therefore, according to the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, no erroneous operation occurs even if the voice incoming determination screen is suddenly displayed while the user is operating another application.
