The public line communication unit 12 is a processing unit that performs communication processing and call processing via a public line.

  The network communication antenna 14 is an antenna that transmits and receives radio waves for communication when the mobile terminal 10 communicates with other devices via a wireless network. The network communication unit 15 is a processing unit that connects to another device and performs communication processing when the mobile terminal 10 communicates with the other device via a wireless network. For example, the network communication unit 15 performs communication based on a wireless LAN or Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard which is omnidirectional communication.

  The storage unit 16 is a storage device such as a memory or a hard disk device. The storage unit 16 stores content data 16a, display position information 16b, and the like. The content data 16 a is data that can be viewed on the mobile terminal 10. The display position information 16b is information on coordinates on the touch panel screen 20 that displays the device specifying information 22a to 22d on the touch panel screen 20 shown in FIG.

  Here, the coordinates of the position where the device specifying information 22a to 22d is displayed are registered in advance by the user, and the device specifying information 22a to 22d is displayed at the pre-registered position at the time of data transmission operation. When displaying this machine label 22d, it is desirable to display it on the user side who operates the mobile terminal 10, that is, in the state shown in FIG. In addition, it is desirable that the device specifying information 22a to 22d be displayed on the touch panel screen 20 so that any three pieces of device specifying information 22a to 22d are not arranged in a straight line.

  The display positions of the device specifying information 22a to 22c may be changed after the device specifying information 22a to 22c is once displayed on the touch panel screen 20. Specifically, when the user designates a new display position of the device specifying information 22a to 22c by a touch operation, information on coordinates on the touch panel screen 20 designated by the user is stored as display position information 16b. 16 is stored. And the display position of apparatus specific information 22a-22c is changed to the position corresponding to the coordinate.

  In addition, the coordinate information on the touch panel screen 20 that displays the device specifying information 22a to 22c is not necessarily registered in the display position information 16b in advance. For example, when receiving an instruction from the user to display the display screen shown in FIG. 1, the network communication unit 15 communicates with devices such as the PC 30, the TV 31, and the recorder 32 to become a data transmission destination. The display control unit 17b, which will be described later, detects the device to be obtained and adjusts the display intervals of the device specifying information 22a to 22c corresponding to the detected device, and then displays the device specifying information 22a to 22c on the touch panel screen 20. It is good.

  The control unit 17 is a control device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that controls the mobile terminal 10 as a whole. The control unit 17 includes an information reception unit 17a, a display control unit 17b, a device identification information detection unit 17c, a transfer data identification unit 17d, and a data transmission / reception control unit 17e.

  The information receiving unit 17 a is a processing unit that receives information input by the user via the touch panel unit 11. For example, the information receiving unit 17a is specified by the user when the device specifying information 22a to 22c is once displayed on the touch panel screen 20 and then the specification of a new display position of the device specifying information 22a to 22c is received from the user. Information on the coordinates of the new display position is acquired from the touch sensor unit 11b. And the information reception part 17a memorize | stores the acquired coordinate information in the memory | storage part 16 as the display position information 16b.

  The display control unit 17b is a processing unit that controls display processing of information on the display unit 11a. For example, the display control unit 17b reads the display position information 16b from the storage unit 16, controls the display unit 11a, and sets the device specifying information 22a to 22c at the positions specified by the coordinates registered in the display position information 16b. Display.

  In addition, when the user performs a touch operation of sliding a finger on the touch panel screen 20, the display control unit 17b displays an icon 21 on the touch panel screen 20, and an animation in which the icon 21 moves in the direction in which the finger is slid. Perform processing to display.

  When the user performs a touch operation from one displayed device specifying information to another device specifying information on the touch panel screen 20 as illustrated in FIG. 1, the device specifying information detection unit 17 c A processing unit that identifies a device having data displayed or stored in specific information as a data transmission source device, and is displayed at a position closest to the direction in which the user operated a finger from one device specific information. It is a processing unit that identifies a device corresponding to the device identification information 22a to 22c as a data transmission destination device.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of processing for detecting the device specifying information 22a to 22c displayed at the position closest to the user's operation direction. For example, when the user performs an operation of playing from the recorder label 22c toward the PC label 22a, as shown in FIG. 5, the device specifying information detection unit 17c starts playing from the center point of the recorder label 22c. The device identification information (PC label 22a in the example of FIG. 5) that minimizes the length of the vertical line drawn from the center of the PC label 22a, the TV label 22b, and the machine label 22c with respect to the half line extending in the direction is stored in the data It is specified as device specifying information of the destination device. In addition, about the apparatus specific information which cannot make a perpendicular to the said half straight line, it excludes from the specific object of apparatus specific information.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 4, the transfer data specifying unit 17 d is a processing unit that performs processing for specifying data to be transferred when the data transmission source device has a plurality of contents. For example, in the touch operation shown in FIG. 2, since the TV label 22b is played, the content viewed on the TV 31 becomes the data to be transferred, but when the recorder label 22c is played, it is stored in the recorder. It is necessary to specify data to be transferred from among a plurality of data. As described above, the transfer data specifying unit 17d is a list that allows the touch panel screen 20 to select a plurality of data when the data transmission source device specified by the device specifying information detection unit 17c has a plurality of transferable data. The data selected by the user is specified as transfer data.

  Here, whether or not the data transmission source device specified by the device specifying information detection unit 17c has a plurality of transferable data is acquired in advance by the mobile terminal 10 communicating with each data transmitting / receiving device. Alternatively, the data may be stored in the storage unit 16, or when the data transmission source device is specified, data that can be transferred may be acquired from the specified data transmission source device. A specific example of this process will be described later.

  The data transmission / reception control unit 17e is a processing unit that controls transmission / reception of data performed by the network communication unit 15 with other devices. For example, the data transmission / reception control unit 17e establishes communication with the network communication unit 15 between the data transmission source device and the data transmission destination device specified by the device specification information detection unit 17c, and data is transmitted from the data transmission source device. Processing for requesting the transmission destination device to transmit data to be transmitted is performed. The device specifying information is assumed to be associated with ID information for specifying the data transmission source device and the data transmission destination device.

  Next, a processing procedure in the data transmission operation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an outline of a processing procedure in the data transmission operating device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Here, a case where one piece of data to be transmitted is held in the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user will be described. Therefore, the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user is the data transmission source device. If the data corresponding to the device identification information played by the user does not have the data to be transmitted, the device having the data to be transmitted is identified as the actual data transmission source device. . Further, it is assumed that the user's touch operation on the device specifying information is an operation of playing the device specifying information.

  First, the display control unit 17b of the mobile terminal 10 reads the display position information 16b in which the information on the display positions of the device specifying information 22a to 22d indicating the device that is the target of data transmission / reception is registered from the storage unit 16 (step S101). . Then, the display control unit 17b controls the display unit 11a to display the device specifying information 22a to 22d at the display positions registered in the display position information 16b (Step S102).

  Here, the display position information of the device specifying information 22a to 22d is registered in the display position information 16b. However, when an instruction is received from the user to display the display screen shown in FIG. In addition, the network communication unit 15 communicates with devices such as the PC 30, the TV 31, and the recorder 32 to detect devices that can be data transmission destinations, and the display control unit 17 b detects device specifying information corresponding to the detected devices. The apparatus specifying information 22a to 22c may be displayed on the touch panel screen 20 after adjusting the display intervals of 22a to 22c. As described above, the device label 22d, which is device identification information of the mobile terminal 10, may be displayed at a position near the user side of the touch panel screen 20, that is, in the lower center portion in the state shown in FIG.

  Next, the device identification information detection unit 17c acquires information from the touch sensor unit 11b, and determines whether or not the user has played the device identification information 22a to 22d by a touch operation (step S103). When the user is not performing the operation of playing the device specifying information (NO in step S103), the device specifying information detecting unit 17c repeats the determination process of step S103 until the user plays the device specifying information 22a to 22d.

  When the user performs an operation to play one of the device specifying information 22a to 22d (YES in step S103), the device specifying information detection unit 17c acquires information from the touch sensor unit 11b, and the user plays. The device corresponding to the device specifying information is specified as the data transmission source device (step S104).

  In addition, the device specifying information detection unit 17c detects the direction in which the user has played the device specifying information (step S105). Subsequently, the device identification information detection unit 17c detects the device identification information 22a to 22d displayed at the position closest to the detected direction (step S106). Then, the device identification information detection unit 17c determines whether or not the device identification information 22a to 22c has been successfully detected (step S107). If the detection of the device identification information 22a to 22c is not successful (NO in step S107), the process proceeds to step S103, and the subsequent processing is executed. The case where the detection of the device identification information 22a to 22c is not successful is, for example, the case where the TV label 22b is flipped right above the screen in FIG.

  When the device identification information 22a to 22d has been successfully detected (YES in step S107), the device identification information detection unit 17c identifies the device corresponding to the detected device identification information as the data transmission destination device (step S108). .

  Next, the transfer data specifying unit 17d specifies transfer data to be transferred (step S109). In this case, since one piece of data to be transmitted is held in the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user, this held data becomes transfer data.

  The data transmission / reception control unit 17e requests the network communication unit 15 to establish communication with the identified data transmission source device, and directs the data transmission source device toward the identified data transmission destination device. An instruction to transmit the transfer data to be transmitted is given (step S110). At that time, the mobile terminal 10 notifies the data transmission source device of ID information necessary for communication such as the IP address of the data transmission destination device.

  Thereafter, the display control unit 17b controls the display unit 11a to move the transfer data icon 21 to be transmitted toward the device specifying information closest to the direction in which the user played the device specifying information. The animation to be displayed is displayed (step S111), and the data transmission process ends.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, device specification information 22a to 22c of the data transmitting / receiving device is displayed on the touch panel screen 20 in the direction in which the data transmitting / receiving device is installed.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method for displaying device specifying information in the data transmission operating device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 shows a mobile terminal 10 that transmits data, and a PC 30, a TV 31, and a recorder 32 around the mobile terminal 10.

  In the case of FIG. 7 as well, as in the case of FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 10 displays the PC label 22a, the TV label 22b, and the recorder label 22d as device specifying information of the data transmitting / receiving device on the touch panel screen 20. In the case of FIG. 7, unlike the case of FIG. 1, the display positions of the device specifying information 22 a to 22 c are determined by the data transmitting / receiving devices 30 to 32 indicated by the device specifying information 22 a to 22 c as viewed from the user operating the mobile terminal 10. Displayed in the direction of installation.

  Therefore, if the relative position of the mobile terminal 10 with respect to the data transmitting / receiving devices 30 to 32 changes, the display positions of the device specifying information 22a to 22c displayed on the touch panel screen 20 will change. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment. When the mobile terminal 10 is a data transmission / reception device, the machine label 22d may be displayed. In this case, the machine label 22d is located near the user on the touch panel screen 20, that is, in the case of FIG. Displayed at the bottom center. The data transmission operation process in the second embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment.

  Next, the configuration of the data transmission operation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The mobile terminal 10 which is a data transmission operation device includes a touch panel unit 11, a public line communication antenna 12, a public line communication unit 13, a network communication antenna 14, a network communication unit 15, a storage unit 16, a control unit 17, and a state detection unit. 18. An infrared communication unit 19 is provided.

  Here, the touch panel unit 11, the public line communication antenna 12, the public line communication unit 13, the network communication antenna 14, and the network communication unit 15 are the touch panel unit 11, the public line communication antenna 12, and the public line described in FIG. Since it is the same as that of the communication part 13, the antenna 14 for network communication, and the network communication part 15, description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  The storage unit 16 is a storage device such as a memory or a hard disk device. The storage unit 16 stores content data 16a, transmission / reception device information 16c, and the like. The content data 16 a is data that can be viewed on the mobile terminal 10. The transmission / reception device information 16c is information on a data transmission source device or a data transmission destination device that is a data transmission / reception target. The transmission / reception device information 16c includes information on the direction in which the data transmission / reception device is installed (for example, northwest and east-northeast as viewed from the mobile terminal 10).

  The control unit 17 is a control device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that controls the mobile terminal 10 as a whole. The control unit 17 includes an information reception unit 17a, a display control unit 17b, a device identification information detection unit 17c, a transfer data identification unit 17d, a data transmission / reception control unit 17e, and a direction determination unit 17f.

  The information reception unit 17a, the display control unit 17b, the device identification information detection unit 17c, the transfer data identification unit 17d, and the data transmission / reception control unit 17e are the information reception unit 17a, the display control unit 17b, and the device identification information detection unit described in FIG. 17c, the transfer data specifying unit 17d, and the data transmission / reception control unit 17e are the same as those described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  The direction determination unit 17f is a processing unit that determines in which direction each data transmission / reception device that is a target of data transmission / reception is located in the position close to the user on the screen 20 (display position of the machine label 22d). . For example, when the user points the mobile terminal 10 in a certain direction, the direction determination unit 17f determines whether or not the infrared communication unit 19 described later has received a directional infrared signal transmitted by each device. .

  When the direction determination unit 17f has received an infrared signal, the direction determination unit 17f determines that there is a data transmission / reception device that is a candidate for a data transmission destination in that direction. Then, the direction determination unit 17f acquires information on the current direction (for example, northwest and east-northeast) from the state detection unit 18 described later, and stores the acquired information as transmission / reception device information 16c in the storage unit 16. The user points the mobile terminal 10 in various directions and causes the state detection unit 18 to detect the direction in which the data transmission / reception device is located.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of direction detection of the data transmitting / receiving apparatus. As shown in FIG. 9, the TV 31 includes an infrared communication unit 33 that emits a directional infrared signal in various directions. In addition, the infrared communication unit 19 of the mobile terminal 10 is provided on, for example, the cabinet side on the upper side of the screen of the mobile terminal 10 and has directivity for detecting infrared rays that are incident perpendicularly on the cabinet side on the upper side of the touch panel screen 20. It is a communication part. Moreover, the state detection part 18 of the portable terminal 10 shall detect the direction which the cabinet side surface in which the infrared communication part 19 was provided has faced.

  In the above description, the cabinet side surface of the mobile terminal 10 provided with the infrared communication unit 19 refers to the side surface opposite to the side where the operation unit of the mobile terminal 10 is provided. It goes without saying that any surface is acceptable.

  Further, FIG. 9 shows a state in which the infrared ray irradiated from the infrared communication unit 33 of the TV 31 is received by the infrared communication unit 19 of the mobile terminal 10. In this case, the state detection unit 18 of the mobile terminal 10 detects the direction in which the cabinet side opposite to the operation unit of the touch panel screen 20 is facing as “northwest”.

  Then, the state detection unit 18 stores the detected information in the direction of “northwest” as the direction in which the TV 31 is installed, together with identification information for identifying the TV 31, in the storage unit 16 as transmission / reception device information 16 c.

  When displaying the TV label 22b which is the device specifying information of the TV 31 on the touch panel screen 20 of the mobile terminal 10, the state detection unit 18 detects again the direction in which the infrared communication unit 19 is facing. Then, the display control unit 17b reads the transmission / reception device information 16c including the information on the direction of the TV 31, controls the display unit 11a, and displays the TV label 22b in the "northwest" direction as viewed from the user. The direction information stored as the transmission / reception device information 16c is updated when the infrared rays emitted from the TV 31 are newly received and the direction in which the TV 31 is installed is detected.

  In this way, by detecting the direction in which each data transmitting / receiving device 30 to 32 is installed and displaying the device specifying information 22a to 22c in the direction corresponding to the detected direction, the mobile terminal 10 moves, Even when the installation positions of the data transmitting / receiving apparatuses 30 to 32 are changed, the apparatus specifying information 22a to 22c can be displayed at appropriate positions.

  When there is a data transmission / reception device that is determined to be installed in the same direction, the direction determination unit 17f performs a process of shifting the determined direction by a predetermined angle. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a process of shifting the determination direction of the data transmission / reception apparatus.

  In the example of FIG. 10, the TV 31 is installed on the recorder 32. In this case, when the direction is detected as described above, the directions of the TV 31 and the recorder 32 are the same. When the TV label 22b and the recorder label 22c are displayed on the touch panel screen 20, the TV label 22b and the recorder label 22c are displayed. It will overlap. As a result, the three device specifying information of the TV label 22b, the recorder label 22c, and the main unit label are arranged in a straight line.

  Therefore, the direction determination unit 17f performs a process of shifting the direction determined for either the TV 31 or the recorder 32 (in the case of FIG. 10, the direction determined for the TV 31) by a predetermined angle θ. When the display control unit 17b controls the display unit 11a to display the TV label 22b on the touch panel screen 20, the TV label 22b is shifted in a direction shifted by a predetermined angle θ as shown in FIG. Display. In either case, the three device specifying information is displayed so as not to be aligned.

  The state detection unit 18 is a processing unit that detects the direction of the mobile terminal 10. The state detection unit 18 includes a direction detection unit 18a. The direction detection unit 18a is a sensor that detects a direction in which the mobile terminal 10 is facing, such as an electronic compass. For example, the direction detection unit 18a detects the direction in which the cabinet side surface on which the infrared communication unit 19 of the mobile terminal 10 is provided is facing.

  The infrared communication unit 19 is a processing unit that performs infrared communication with a data transmission / reception device that is a candidate for a data transmission destination. For example, the infrared communication unit 19 performs infrared communication with devices such as the PC 30, the TV 31, and the recorder 32 that include the infrared communication unit 33 such as an infrared emitter that transmits a directional infrared signal.

  Next, a processing procedure of data transmission processing according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an outline of a processing procedure in the data transmission operating device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Here, a case will be described in which one piece of data to be transmitted is held in the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user. Therefore, the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user is the data transmission source device. Further, it is assumed that the user's touch operation on the device specifying information is an operation of playing the device specifying information.

  First, the direction determination part 17f of the portable terminal 10 determines the direction in which each data transmission / reception apparatus is installed (step S201). Specifically, the direction determination unit 17f acquires information on the direction of the mobile terminal 10 when the infrared communication unit 19 receives the infrared signal transmitted from each data transmission / reception device from the state detection unit 18, and sets the direction in the direction. It is determined that a data transmission / reception device is installed.

  Thereafter, the direction determination unit 17f determines whether there is a data transmission / reception device that is determined to be installed in the same direction (step S202). When there is no data transmission / reception device determined to be installed in the same direction (NO in step S202), the display control unit 17b controls the display unit 11a to be in the direction determined by the direction determination unit 17f. The device specifying information 22a to 22c corresponding to the data transmitting / receiving device is displayed at the corresponding position on the touch panel screen 20 (step S203).

  When there is a data transmission / reception device that is determined to be installed in the same direction (YES in step S202), the direction determination unit 17f determines that the data transmission / reception device is installed in the same direction as illustrated in FIG. The process of shifting the direction of the data transmission / reception device by a predetermined angle θ is performed so that the direction of each data transmission / reception device is shifted (step S204), and the process proceeds to step S203. Since the process of step S205 following step S203 is the same as the process A of step S103 to step S111 in the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 6, the description thereof is omitted here.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment, in the three-dimensional coordinate system having the origin on the touch panel screen 20 of the mobile terminal 10, the coordinates of the data transmission / reception device that is the transmission target of data are calculated, and the touch panel screen 20 is based on the calculation result. The device specifying information 22a to 22c of the data transmitting / receiving device is displayed.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining an example of a three-dimensional coordinate system having an origin on the touch panel screen 20 of the mobile terminal 10. In the three-dimensional coordinate system illustrated in FIG. 12, the x axis is provided in parallel with the long side of the touch panel screen 20 of the mobile terminal 10, the y axis is provided in parallel with the short side of the touch panel screen 20, and the x axis and the y axis are A z-axis is provided in the orthogonal direction. The origins of the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis are located on the touch panel screen 20. Hereinafter, this three-dimensional coordinate system is referred to as a local coordinate system.

The mobile terminal 10 calculates the coordinate values (Q _x , Q _y , Q _z ) of the data transmission / reception device (PC 30 in the example of FIG. 12) in this local coordinate system, and PC that is device identification information of the data transmission / reception device The label 22a is displayed in the direction in which the data transmitting / receiving apparatus is installed as viewed from the origin of the three-dimensional coordinate system.

In this case, since the touch panel screen 20 is a two-dimensional plane, the mobile terminal 10 displays the TV label 22a at a position corresponding to the coordinate values (Q _x , Q _y , 0), for example. Alternatively, the mobile terminal 10, the coordinate values on the touch panel 20 is displaying the TV label 22a at a position corresponding to _{(Q x, Q y, 0} ), on the basis of the size of the TV label 22a to the value of _{Q z} It is good also as changing and displaying (for example, displaying so large that _Qz is large). Further, when displaying this machine label, it is displayed at a position corresponding to the coordinate value (0, 0, 0). In the case where the machine label is displayed at the lower center of the touch panel screen 20, the coordinate value (0, 0, 0) may be set at the lower center of the touch panel screen 20.

  Next, the configuration of the data transmission operation device according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of a data transmission operation device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The mobile terminal 10 which is a data transmission operation device includes a touch panel unit 11, a public line communication antenna 12, a public line communication unit 13, a network communication antenna 14, a network communication unit 15, a storage unit 16, a control unit 17, and a state detection unit. 18 is provided.

  Here, the touch panel unit 11, the public line communication antenna 12, the public line communication unit 13, the network communication antenna 14, and the network communication unit 15 are the touch panel unit 11, the public line communication antenna 12, and the public line described in FIG. Since it is the same as that of the communication part 13, the antenna 14 for network communication, and the network communication part 15, description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  The storage unit 16 is a storage device such as a memory or a hard disk device. The storage unit 16 stores content data 16a, transmission / reception device information 16c, own device position information 16d, own device tilt information 16e, own device direction information 16f, and the like.

  The content data 16 a is data that can be viewed on the mobile terminal 10. The transmission / reception device information 16c is information on a data transmission / reception device that is a data transmission / reception target. The transmission / reception device information 16c includes information on the current position where the data transmission / reception device is installed. This information on the current position is information on the coordinate value of the data transmitting / receiving device in the world coordinate system described later.

  The own device position information 16d is information on the current position of the mobile terminal 10 detected by a position detection unit 18b described later. This information on the current position is information on the coordinate value of the mobile terminal 10 in the world coordinate system described later. The device inclination information 16e is information on the inclination of the mobile terminal 10 detected by the inclination detector 18c described later. The own device direction information 16f is information on the direction of the mobile terminal 10 detected by the direction detection unit 18a.

  The control unit 17 is a control device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that controls the mobile terminal 10 as a whole. The control unit 17 includes an information reception unit 17a, a display control unit 17b, a device identification information detection unit 17c, a transfer data identification unit 17d, a data transmission / reception control unit 17e, and a direction determination unit 17f.

  The information receiving unit 17 a is a processing unit that receives information input by the user via the touch panel unit 11. For example, the information receiving unit 17a receives from the user registration of position information (information on the current coordinate value of the mobile terminal 10 in the world coordinate system) of a data transmitting / receiving device that is a data transmission / reception target.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of registration of position information of the data transmitting / receiving device. As shown in FIG. 14, when the user inputs the name and IP address of the device and touches the registration button at the position where the data transmission / reception device is installed, the position detection unit 18 b of the mobile terminal 10 The current position (information on the current coordinate value of the mobile terminal 10 in the world coordinate system) is detected.

  Here, the device name is used as a display name (here, “PC”) for identifying the data transmitting / receiving device in the PC label 22a, for example, as in the PC label 22a shown in FIG. The IP address serves as ID information for identifying a device to which data is to be transmitted. The current position of the data transmitting / receiving apparatus corresponds to the position where the data transmitting / receiving apparatus is installed (information on the current coordinate value of the data transmitting / receiving apparatus in the world coordinate system). The information receiving unit 17a associates this current position with the name of the device and the IP address, and stores it in the storage unit 16 as transmission / reception device information 16c. Instead of the IP address, a MAC address or a device name used for identifying a device on the network may be used as the ID information.

  In this way, registration of information on the direction in which each data transmission / reception device is installed (information on the coordinate value of each data transmission / reception device in the world coordinate system) is received from the user, and the device identification information 22a is based on the direction information. Since ~ 22c is displayed, the mobile terminal 10 can easily identify the direction in which each data transmitting / receiving apparatus is installed without performing complicated processing.

  The display control unit 17b, the device identification information detection unit 17c, and the data transmission / reception control unit 17e are the same as the display control unit 17b, the device identification information detection unit 17c, and the data transmission / reception control unit 17e described in FIG. Then, explanation is omitted.

  The direction determination unit 17f is a processing unit that determines in which direction the data transmission / reception device that is the target of data transmission / reception is located from the origin o of the local coordinate system illustrated in FIG. For example, the direction determination unit 17f determines the direction using the local coordinate system shown in FIG. 12 and the world coordinate system described below.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining an example of the world coordinate system. The world coordinate system is set in a three-dimensional space in which the mobile terminal 10 and a device (PC 30 in the example of FIG. 15) that is a data transmission / reception target are installed, and an X axis, a Y axis, It is a three-dimensional coordinate system constituted by the Z axis.

  First, the direction determination unit 17f detects the coordinates of the positions of the mobile terminal 10 and the data transmission / reception device that is the object of data transmission / reception in the world coordinate system. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining detection of position coordinates in the world coordinate system.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the positions of the mobile terminal 10 and the data transmitting / receiving apparatus (PC 30 in the example of FIG. 16) can be specified by coordinate values in the world coordinate system.

  In this case, the direction determination unit 17f reads the transmission / reception device information 16c stored in the storage unit 16 and detects the coordinates of the current position of the data transmission / reception device in the world coordinate system. In addition, the direction determination unit 17f reads the device position information 16d stored in the storage unit 16 and detects the coordinates of the current position of the mobile terminal 10 in the world coordinate system.

  Then, the direction determination unit 17f calculates the coordinates of the relative position of the data transmitting / receiving device with the current position of the mobile terminal 10 as a reference. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for calculating relative position coordinates.

Here, the coordinates of the mobile terminal 10 in the world coordinate system are (S _X , S _Y , S _Z ), and the coordinates of the data transmitting / receiving device (PC 30 in the example of FIG. 17) in the world coordinate system are (D _X , D _Y , D _Z ). In this case, the direction determination unit 17f uses the coordinates (P _X , P _Y , P _Z ) of the relative position of the data transmitting / receiving device as
_{(P X, P Y, P} Z) = (D X -S X, D Y -S Y, D Z -S Z)
Calculated by

Thereafter, the direction determination unit 17f converts the coordinates (P _X , P _Y , P _Z ) of the relative position of the data transmitting / receiving device in the world coordinate system into coordinates in the local coordinate system. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the world coordinate system and the local coordinate system.

  In FIG. 18, the x axis, the y axis, and the z axis are orthogonal axes that constitute the local coordinate system, and the point o is the origin of the local coordinate system. A point o ′ is a point obtained by vertically projecting the point o on the XY plane of the world coordinate system. The vectors ox, oy, and oz are arbitrary vectors starting from the point o and having end points on the positive directions of the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis of the local coordinate system, respectively. The vectors o′x ′, o′y ′, and o′z ′ are vectors obtained by vertically projecting the vectors ox, oy, and oz on the XY plane of the world coordinate system. Furthermore, the vectors o′x ″, o′y ″, and o′z ″ are vectors that are parallel to the vectors ox, oy, and oz, respectively, and pass through the point o ′.

In FIG. 18, the angles formed by the vector o′x ′ and the vector o′x ″, the vector o′y ′ and the vector o′y ″, and the vectors o′z ′ and o′z ″ are θ _x , θ _y , θ, respectively. are represented as _z. these angles θ _x, θ _y, θ _z is the angle detected by the inclination detecting unit 18c of the mobile terminal 10 shown in FIG. 13.

と表される。 When the vector oy is not perpendicular to the XY plane, the vector o′y ′ is not a zero vector and has a certain length. Here, as shown in FIG. 18, when considering a case where the vector o′y ′ and the Y axis of the world coordinate system are parallel, the unit vector e _{y in} the y axis direction of the local coordinate system is

It is expressed.

  Here, how many times the upward direction of the touch panel screen 20 of the mobile terminal 10 is rotated with respect to true north is detected by a direction detection unit 18a described later. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating the rotation angle from true north.

In the world coordinate system shown in FIG. 19, it is assumed that the positive direction of the Y axis coincides with the direction of true north. In this case, the angle θ _N formed between the Y axis in the world coordinate system and the vector obtained by vertically projecting the positive direction of the y axis in the local coordinate system onto the XY plane of the world coordinate system is the angle detected by the direction detection unit 18a. Become.

と表される。 X-axis of the local coordinate system, the unit vector _{e x} of y-axis direction ', _{e y'} is (Equation 5) or (6), the unit vectors _e x, _{e y} (Formula 1), in the world coordinate system The vector is rotated by θ _N around an axis parallel to the Z axis. Therefore, the unit vectors e _x 'and e _y ' are rotation matrices around the Z axis.

Using,

It is expressed.

The unit vector e _z ′ in the z-axis direction of the local coordinate system can be obtained as follows from the outer product of e _x ′ and e _y ′.

Using the unit vectors e _x ′, e _y ′, e _z ′ thus obtained, the coordinates (P _X , P _Y , P _Z ) of the relative position of the data transmitting / receiving device are converted into the coordinates (Q _X, can be converted _Q Y, the _{Q Z).} Specifically, the direction determination unit 17f calculates Q _X , Q _Y , Q _Z from the inner product of the coordinates (P _X , P _Y , P _Z ) and the unit vectors _xx ′, e _y ′, e _z ′. Is calculated as follows.

When e _y is completely perpendicular to the XY plane, that is, when cos θ _y = 0, the x axis, the y axis, the z axis, the x ′ axis, the y ′ axis, and the z ′ axis The positional relationship between is as shown in FIG. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a positional relationship between the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis and the x′-axis, y′-axis, and z′-axis when cos θ _y = 0.

However, it can be expressed as α ² + β ² = 1.

To calculate the specific value of α and β, as in the case described in FIG. 19, e _x and e _y are necessary to check whether the rotating much about the Z axis of the world coordinate system There is. However, in this situation, since the vector o′y ′ is a zero vector, the angle formed by o′y ′ and any other vector cannot be defined.

Therefore, here, unlike the sensor that measures the angle θ _N formed by the vector o′y ′ and the Y axis of the world coordinate system in FIG. 19, the direction detection unit 18 a has the vector o as shown in FIG. 20. An angle θ _{N ′} formed by “x” and the X axis of the world coordinate system is measured.

Or

It is expressed. Here, which value _ez becomes depends on whether the local coordinate system is a right-handed system or a left-handed system.

Using the unit vectors e _x , e _y , and e _z thus obtained, the coordinates (P _X , P _Y , P _Z ) of the relative position of the data transmitting / receiving device are converted into the coordinates (Q _X , Q of the local coordinate system). _Y , Q _Z ). Specifically, the direction determination unit 17f calculates Q _X , Q _Y , and Q _Z as follows from the inner product of the coordinates (P _X , P _Y , P _Z ) and the unit vectors e _x , e _y , e _z . Thus, the calculation is performed.

When the direction detection unit 18a of the mobile terminal 10 does not have the ability to measure the angle θ _{N ′} , specific values of α and β cannot be calculated, but in actual use, _ey is an XY plane. However, since it is rare that a completely vertical situation lasts for a long time, it is not a big problem.

Using the coordinate values (Q _x , Q _y , Q _z ) calculated as described above, the display control unit 17b controls the display unit 11a to display the device specifying information 22a to 22c of the data transmitting / receiving device on the touch panel screen. 20 is displayed.

For example, the display control unit 17b displays the TV label 22a on the coordinate values (Q _x , Q _y , 0) on the touch panel screen 20, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the display control unit 17b, the coordinate values on the touch panel 20 is displaying the _{(Q x, Q y, 0} ) to the TV label 22a, to change the basis of the size of the TV label 22a to the value of _{Q z} It is good also as displaying (for example, it displays so large that _Qz is large).

  Thus, based on the information on the position where the data transmission / reception device is installed and the information on the direction, position, and inclination of the mobile terminal 10 detected by the direction detection unit 18a, the position detection unit 18b, and the inclination detection unit 18c, By determining the direction in which the data transmission / reception device is installed, the device specifying information 22a can be displayed in a certain direction of the data transmission / reception device regardless of the direction in which the user points the mobile terminal 10. Therefore, for example, even if the user lies down and operates the mobile terminal 10, the user can execute data transmission by an intuitive operation. Note that the inclination detection unit 18 c is not necessarily provided in the mobile terminal 10, and the inclination of the mobile terminal 10 may be fixed to “45 degrees vertically upward” or the like.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 13, the state detection unit 18 is a processing unit that detects the state of the mobile terminal 10 such as the position, inclination, and direction. The state detection unit 18 includes a direction detection unit 18a, a position detection unit 18b, and an inclination detection unit 18c.

  The direction detection unit 18a is a sensor that detects a direction in which the mobile terminal 10 is facing, such as an electronic compass. For example, the direction detection unit 18a detects how many times the upper direction of the touch panel screen 20 is rotated with respect to true north.

  The position detection unit 18 b is a processing unit that detects the position of the mobile terminal 10. The position detection unit 18b is configured by, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, and detects a current position of the mobile terminal 10 by receiving a signal from a GPS satellite. The position detection unit 18b detects the current position of the mobile terminal 10 from the arrival time differences of radio waves output from a plurality of base stations used for calling and communication, and corrects the current position detected by a signal from a GPS satellite. It is good to do.

  Further, the position detection unit 18b may detect the current position of the mobile terminal 10 by acquiring position information from a position information server device (not shown). In this case, it is assumed that a plurality of wireless LAN access points that receive radio waves transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 are installed in an area where the mobile terminal 10 is located. When each wireless LAN access point receives a radio wave from the mobile terminal 10, the wireless LAN access point transmits information on the time when the radio wave is received to the location information server device.

  The position information server apparatus that has received this information calculates the current position of the mobile terminal 10 using the time difference between the received times, and transmits the calculation result to the mobile terminal 10. The position detection unit 18b of the mobile terminal 10 receives this calculation result and detects the current position of the mobile terminal 10.

The inclination detection unit 18c is a sensor that detects the inclination of the mobile terminal 10, such as a gyro sensor. The inclination detector 18c detects the angles θ _x , θ _y , and θ _{z shown} in FIG.

  Next, a processing procedure of data transmission processing according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an outline of a processing procedure in the data transmission operation device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Here, a case will be described in which one piece of data to be transmitted is held in the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user. Therefore, the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user is the data transmission source device. Further, it is assumed that the user's touch operation on the device specifying information is an operation of playing the device specifying information.

  First, the direction determination part 17f of the portable terminal 10 reads the positional information on each data transmission / reception apparatus from the transmission / reception apparatus information 16c of the memory | storage part 16 (step S301). Furthermore, the direction determination unit 17f reads information on the position, tilt, and direction of the mobile terminal 10 from the own device position information 16d, the own device tilt information 16e, and the own device direction information 16f of the storage unit 16, respectively (step S302).

Thereafter, the direction determination unit 17f uses (Equation 1) to (Equation 13) or (Equation 14) to (Equation 22) to determine the relative positional relationship between the mobile terminal 10 and each data transmission / reception device. (Q _x , Q _y , Q _z ) is calculated (step S303). Then, the direction determination unit 17f determines whether or not there is a data transmission / reception device that is determined to be installed in the same direction (step S304).

  When there is no data transmission / reception apparatus determined to be installed in the same direction (NO in step S304), the display control unit 17b controls the display unit 11a to move in the direction determined by the direction determination unit 17f. The device specifying information 22a to 22c corresponding to each data transmitting / receiving device is displayed at the corresponding position on the touch panel screen 20 (step S305).

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the display control unit 17b displays the device specifying information 22a on the coordinate values (Q _x , Q _y , 0) on the touch panel screen 20. Alternatively, the display control unit 17b displays the device specifying information 22a at a position corresponding to the coordinate values (Q _x , Q _y , 0) on the touch panel screen 20, but the size of the device specifying information 22a is set to the value of _Qz . It is good also as changing and displaying based on (for example, displaying so that it is large, so that _Qz is large).

  If there is a data transmission / reception apparatus that is determined to be installed in the same direction in step S304 (YES in step S304), direction determination unit 17f is installed in the same direction as shown in FIG. The process of shifting the direction of the data transmitting / receiving device by a predetermined angle θ is performed so that the direction of each data transmitting / receiving device determined to be shifted (step S306), and the process proceeds to step S305. Since the process of step S307 following step S305 is the same as the process A of step S103 to step S111 in the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 6, the description thereof is omitted here.

  As described above, the second and third embodiments have been described in the case where the device specifying information is displayed in correspondence with the direction in which the data transmitting / receiving device is installed when the device specifying information of the data transmitting / receiving device is displayed on the touch panel screen. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and corrections are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, in the second embodiment, the position of a data transmission / reception device that is a data transmission target is detected using a directional infrared signal, and in the third embodiment, at the position where the data transmission / reception device is installed, Although the position detection unit 18b of the mobile terminal 10 detects the current position of the mobile terminal 10 to detect the position of the data transmitting / receiving device, the position detection method is not limited to this.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining another method of inputting position information. The configuration of the mobile terminal 10 in this case is the same as that shown in FIG. 4, for example. However, as shown in FIG. 22, the information receiving unit 17 a of the mobile terminal 10 has a position where the data transmitting / receiving device is installed when the user holds the mobile terminal 10 at a position where the user normally uses the mobile terminal 10. An input is received from the user on the touch panel screen 20.

  Specifically, the information receiving unit 17a receives an input by the user of the position via the touch panel unit 11, and information on coordinates on the touch panel screen 20 corresponding to the position is displayed as display position information 16b in the storage unit 16. Remember. Then, the display control unit 20b reads the display position information 16b from the storage unit 16, controls the display unit 11a, and specifies the data transmission / reception device at the position specified by the coordinates registered in the display position information 16b. Information 22a-22c is displayed.

  Thereby, even when the mobile terminal 10 does not have a processing unit that detects the position of the mobile device 10 or when the mobile terminal 10 has a processing unit that detects the position but the detection accuracy is low, the mobile terminal 10 Can appropriately display the device specifying information 22a to 22c at the position on the touch panel screen 20 corresponding to the position where the data transmitting / receiving device is installed.

  In addition, when the mobile terminal 10 includes a camera, the position where the data transmission / reception device is installed may be detected by photographing the data transmission / reception device to be transmitted with the camera.

  Specifically, the mobile terminal 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image, extracts an area where the data transmission / reception device is shown, and coordinates on the touch panel screen 20 corresponding to the position included in the extracted area Is stored in the storage unit 16 as display position information 16b. Then, the display control unit 20b reads the display position information 16b from the storage unit 16, controls the display unit 11a, and specifies the data transmission / reception device at the position specified by the coordinates registered in the display position information 16b. Information 22a-22c is displayed.

  In addition, when the data transmission / reception device includes a GPS receiver, the mobile terminal 10 acquires information on the position coordinates obtained based on the signal received by the GPS receiver from the GPS satellite from the data transmission / reception device. Thus, the position of the data transmitting / receiving device may be detected.

  Specifically, for example, the information receiving unit 17a of the mobile terminal 10 illustrated in FIG. 13 receives the position coordinate information from the data transmitting / receiving device. Then, the information receiving unit 17a converts the position coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude) in the coordinate system for position detection using GPS satellites to the position coordinates in the global coordinate system shown in FIG. The coordinates are stored in the storage unit 16 as transmission / reception device information 16c.

  And the direction determination part 17f calculates the relative positional relationship between the portable terminal 10 and a data transmitter / receiver using this position coordinate. Further, the display control unit 17b controls the display unit 11a using the calculation result to display the device specifying information 22a to 22c of the data transmitting / receiving device on the touch panel screen 20.

  Moreover, in the place where the surveillance camera is installed, it is good also as detecting the position of the portable terminal 10 or a data transmission / reception apparatus by analyzing the image which the surveillance camera image | photographed each area.

  For example, the image analysis system connected to the monitoring camera determines whether or not the image of the data transmission / reception device is included in the image captured by the monitoring camera. If the image analysis system determines that the captured image includes the image of the data transmission / reception device, the image analysis system transmits information on the position coordinates of the area to the mobile terminal 10.

  And the information reception part 17a of the portable terminal 10 shown in FIG. 13 memorize | stores the received position coordinate as the transmission / reception apparatus information 16c in the memory | storage part 16, for example. And the direction determination part 17f calculates the relative positional relationship between the portable terminal 10 and a data transmitter / receiver using this position coordinate. Further, the display control unit 17b controls the display unit 11a using the calculation result to display the device specifying information 22a to 22c of the data transmitting / receiving device on the touch panel screen 20.

  Similarly, the current position of the mobile terminal 10 may be detected by receiving position coordinate information from the image analysis system as described above.

  In addition, when a data transmission / reception device such as a television receiver to which data is to be transmitted includes a camera, the current position of the mobile terminal 10 may be detected using an image captured by the camera. For example, it is determined by image analysis whether or not the image of the mobile terminal 10 is included in an image taken by each camera of the data transmission / reception device. When the apparatus determines that the captured image includes the image of the mobile terminal 10, the apparatus transmits information on the position coordinates of the area to the mobile terminal 10.

  For example, the information receiving unit 17a of the mobile terminal 10 illustrated in FIG. 13 stores the received position coordinates in the storage unit 16 as the own device position information 16d. And the direction determination part 17f calculates the relative positional relationship between the portable terminal 10 and a data transmitter / receiver using this position coordinate.

  In the above description regarding the first to third embodiments, the difference in the configuration of the mobile terminal 10 due to the difference in the processing of the arrangement of the data transmitting / receiving device on the touch panel screen 20 will be mainly described, and the processing procedure in the data transmission operating device will be described. As an outline, the explanation has been given on the assumption that one piece of data to be transmitted is held in the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user. In this case, transfer data to be transferred is uniquely determined, and a device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user is also uniquely a data transmission source device.

  However, if the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user has a plurality of content data, or simply reproduces content data from another device without holding the data, transfer It becomes necessary to specify transfer data to be transferred and a data transmission source device. Further, when the data transmission source device or the data transmission destination device is not turned on, it is necessary to take countermeasures. Hereafter, the difference of these various processes in this invention is demonstrated.

(Fourth embodiment)
FIGS. 23A and 23B are diagrams illustrating an example of processing in the data transmission operation device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. For example, in the example of playing the TV label 22b, the operation of playing the device identification information corresponds to the process of transferring the program being played back, so there is no need to select the content to be sent. However, when transmitting content recorded in the recorder (not being played back), it is necessary to select what the user wants to transmit from among the plurality of content in the recorder. An example of the process illustrated in FIGS. 23A and 23B is an example of a content selection method in such a case. The configuration of the mobile terminal 10 may be any of the configurations of the first to third embodiments described above.

  First, in FIG. 23-1 (A), when the user performs an operation of flipping from the recorder label 22c displayed on the touch panel screen 20 toward the PC label 22a, as shown in FIG. 23-1 (B), Nearby, a content list 23 of content in the recorder 32 is displayed in a selectable manner. Next, as shown in FIG. 23-1 (C), when the user selects one from the content list 23 by a touch operation, for example, as shown in FIG. 23-2 (D), the recorder label 22c is displayed. The icon 21 of the selected content data is displayed nearby, and the selected content data starts to be transferred from the recorder 32 to the PC 30. During the transfer of the content data, as shown in FIG. 23-2 (E), an animation in which the icon 21 flies from the recorder label 22c toward the PC label 22a is displayed.

(Detailed flow)
Next, a processing procedure related to the data transmission operating device according to the present invention will be described. FIGS. 24-1 and 24-2 are flowcharts illustrating an example of a processing procedure related to the data transmission operation device according to the present invention. As described above, transfer data to be transmitted and a data transmission source device are specified. It includes a processing procedure for when the data transmission source device or the data transmission destination device is not turned on. Therefore, the processing procedure of the content selection processing described in the fourth embodiment is also included. In addition, although the structure of the portable terminal 10 may be any structure of the 1st-3rd embodiment mentioned above, the structure demonstrated in 3rd Embodiment is demonstrated as an example.

  First, the direction determination part 17f of the portable terminal 10 reads the positional information on each data transmission / reception apparatus from the transmission / reception apparatus information 16c of the memory | storage part 16 (step S401). Furthermore, the direction determination unit 17f reads information on the position, tilt, and direction of the mobile terminal 10 from the own device position information 16d, the own device tilt information 16e, and the own device direction information 16f of the storage unit 16, respectively (step S402).

  Next, the direction determination unit 17f uses (Equation 1) to (Equation 13) or (Equation 14) to (Equation 22) to determine the relative position between the mobile terminal 10 and each data transmission / reception device. The relationship (Qx, Qy, Qz) is calculated (step S403). And the display control part 17b controls the display part 11a, and the apparatus specific information 22a-22c corresponding to each data transmitter / receiver in the position on the touchscreen 20 corresponding to the direction determined by the direction determination part 17f. It is displayed (step S404). Although not shown, when the data transmission / reception devices are installed in the same direction, the directions of the data transmission / reception devices may be shifted.

  Next, the device label 22d, which is device identification information of the mobile terminal 10 itself, is displayed at the lower center of the touch panel screen 20. In this case, the portable terminal 10 itself has a function as a data transmission / reception device, and it is desirable that the user can set in advance whether or not to display the machine label 22d.

  Next, the device identification information detection unit 17c acquires information from the touch sensor unit 11b, and determines whether or not the user has played the device identification information 22a to 22d by a touch operation (step S406). If the user has not performed an operation to play the device specifying information (NO in step S406), the device specifying information detection unit 17c repeats the determination process in step S406 until the user plays the device specifying information.

  When the user performs an operation to play one of the device specifying information 22a to 22d (YES in step S406), the device specifying information detection unit 17c acquires information from the touch sensor unit 11b, and the user plays. It is detected whether or not the device corresponding to the device identification information is turned on. (Step S407). Specifically, communication is established from the mobile terminal 10 to the device corresponding to the device specifying information, and it is detected whether or not the device is turned on.

  In step S407, when the power of the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user is turned on (in the case of YES), the process moves to step S408, and the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user has the specific content. Is displayed (playback display). If it is being displayed (in the case of YES), the process moves to step S409, and it is determined whether or not the content being displayed is content received from an external device (recorder or the like).

  If NO in step S409, the device identification information detection unit 17c identifies the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user as the data transmission source device (step S410), and the transfer data identification unit 17d displays the display. The content data inside is specified as transfer data (step S411). Here, the case of reaching step S410 and step S411 corresponds to, for example, the case where the user plays the TV label 22b while reproducing and displaying the content held by the TV 31, and in this case, the TV 31 is the data transmission source device. Identified as After the process of step S411, the process proceeds to step S417.

  If YES in step S409, the device specifying information detecting unit 17c specifies the external device as the data transmission source device (step S412), and the transfer data specifying unit 17d uses the data of the content being displayed as transfer data. Specify (step S413). Here, the case of reaching step S412 and step S413 corresponds to, for example, the case where the user plays the TV label 22b while the content received by the TV 31 from the recorder 32 is reproduced and displayed. Identified as a data transmission source device. After the process of step S413, the process proceeds to step S417.

  In step S407, if the power of the device corresponding to the device identification information played by the user is not turned on (in the case of NO), that is, if the power is turned off, the process proceeds to step S414, and the user played A power ON command is transmitted to the device corresponding to the device specifying information.

  Here, in order to perform content data transmission / reception processing, both the data transmission source device and the data transmission destination device need to be powered on, but the user performs a content transmission operation on the mobile terminal 10. When this is done, the power of these devices may be turned off. In such a case, the transmission process can be continued by issuing a command to turn on the power to each device before performing the content transmission process.

  Specific examples of power-on commands include Wake On LAN magic packets, which are techniques for powering computers on the LAN, and power-on control commands via LANs that are implemented in TVs of various companies as a function compatible with smartphone remote controls. Etc. are available. In addition, since the MAC address is used for turning on the power by the magic packet, it is necessary to register the MAC address of the data transmitting / receiving apparatus in the mobile terminal 10 in advance. Furthermore, the transmission of the power-on command can use a route different from the route used for content transmission. For example, after the power of the TV 31 is turned on by the infrared remote control signal from the mobile terminal 10, data is transmitted via the LAN. The content data can also be transmitted from the transmission source device.

  In order to turn on the power of the data transmission / reception apparatus by the power-on command, the data transmission / reception apparatus needs to wait for a command even when the power is off. For example, the TV 31 is in a standby state in which a remote control signal or a command from a LAN is received, and the PC 30 is in a state in which standby for Wake On LAN is enabled. For this reason, these methods cannot be used for a data transmission / reception apparatus in a state where the power supply is completely shut down, and a message such as “Please turn on the recorder” is displayed on the touch panel screen 20, for example. It is necessary to encourage the response.

  Returning to FIG. 24-1, when a power ON command is transmitted in step S414 and the power of the device corresponding to the device specifying information played by the user is turned ON, and in the device specifying information played by the user in step S408. When the corresponding device is not displaying the specific content, the process proceeds to step S415, and the device specifying information detection unit 17c specifies the device corresponding to the device specifying information played by the user as the data transmission source device.

  After step S415, the process proceeds to step S416, and the transfer data specifying unit 17d lists the contents in the data transmission source device specified in step S415 so that the user can select as shown in FIG. 23-1 (B). The content data selected by the user is specified as transfer data. Here, the content information to be displayed in the list may be acquired in advance by the mobile terminal 10 communicating with each data transmission / reception device and stored in the storage unit 16 or specified by the data transmission source device. In this case, the data may be acquired from the specified data transmission source device. After the process of step S416, the process proceeds to step S417.

  In step S417, the device identification information detection unit 17c detects the direction in which the user has played the device identification information, and identifies the device identification information displayed at the position closest to the detected direction as the data transmission destination device. Next, the process proceeds to step S418, and after establishing communication with the data transmission destination device using the ID information of the data transmission destination device, the device identification information detection unit 17c turns on the power of the data transmission destination device. Detect whether or not. (Step S419).

  If the power is turned on (YES in step S419), the process proceeds to step 421. If the power is not turned on (NO in step S419), the data transmission destination apparatus is set in step S420. On the other hand, after transmitting the power ON command, the process proceeds to step S421.

  In step S421, it is determined whether there are a plurality of content processing methods that can be used in the data transmission destination device. If there are a plurality of contents (YES in step S421), a list of content processing methods is displayed and the user selects how to process the contents (step S423). Here, depending on the content data transmission destination device, a plurality of processing methods may be available for the received content data. For example, when transmitting moving image content to the PC 30, immediately reproducing the moving image, storing in the storage for later viewing, or registering with DLNA server software and distributing it to the home network, etc. A plurality of processing methods can be used.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating an example of a selection screen for selecting a process in the data transmission destination apparatus, and a process list 24 of available processes is displayed on the touch panel screen 20 in a selectable manner. Information on the content processing method in the data transmission destination device may be acquired in advance by the mobile terminal 10 from each data transmission / reception device and stored in the storage unit 16 or when the data transmission destination device is specified. The data may be acquired from the specified data transmission destination device. In the processing shown in FIGS. 23A and 23B, when the user selects content processing in the data transmission destination device, FIG. 23C and FIG. 23C immediately after selecting the content to be transmitted. 23-2 (D), the screen shown in FIG. 25 is displayed.

  After step S423, the process proceeds to step S424, and the mobile terminal 10 notifies the data transmission destination apparatus of the processing method selected by the user. If there are no multiple content processing methods available in step S422 (in the case of NO), and after step S424, the process proceeds to step S425.

  In step S425, the display control unit 17b causes the display unit 11a to display the content icon 21 in the vicinity of the device identification information played by the user, and then the data transmission / reception control unit 17e causes the network communication unit 15 to Request to establish communication with the data transmission source device, transmit the specification of the content data to be transferred and the ID of the data transmission destination device to the data transmission source device, and transmit the data from the data transmission source device. An instruction to transmit the transfer data to the destination apparatus is given (step S426).

  Next, the mobile terminal 10 determines whether a notification indicating that transmission of content data has been started has been received from the data transmission source device (step S427). If the notification that the transmission of the content data has not started is received (NO in step S427), the process waits until the notification is received. Further, when a notification indicating that transmission of content data has started is received (YES in step S427), an animation in which the content data icon 21 jumps toward the device identification information of the data transmission destination device is displayed. (Step S428).

  After the animation is displayed, it is determined whether or not a content data transmission completion notification is received from the data transmission source device (step S429). If no notification is received (NO in step S429), the process returns to step S428 to notify. Wait until it comes. When the notification is received (YES in step S429), the animation in which the content data icon 21 flies toward the device identification information of the data transmission destination device is terminated (step S430), and the data transmission processing is terminated. To do.

(Fifth embodiment)
In the example of the processing shown in FIGS. 23A and 23B described above, the user determines the data transmission destination device by the operation of playing the device identification information, and selects the content data to be transmitted corresponding to the operation of playing. However, the data transmission destination device may be determined after selecting the content first. FIG. 26A and FIG. 26B are diagrams illustrating an example of processing in the data transmission operation device according to the fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention, for explaining the processing when the content to be transferred is first selected. belongs to.

  First, when the user touches the recorder label 22c displayed on the touch panel screen 20 in FIG. 26-1 (A), the content in the recorder 32 is located near the recorder label 22c, as shown in FIG. 26-1 (B). The content list 23 is displayed in a selectable manner. Next, as shown in FIG. 26-1 (C), when the user selects one from the content list 23 by, for example, a touch operation, the recorder label 22c is displayed as shown in FIG. 26-2 (D). The icon 21 of the selected content data is displayed in a close or overlapping state. Then, as shown in FIG. 26-2 (E), when the user performs an operation of flipping from the recorder label 22c toward the PC label 22a, the selected content data is transferred from the recorder 32 toward the PC 30, and the content While data is being transferred, an animation in which the icon 21 flies from the recorder label 22c toward the PC label 22a is displayed.

  When the TV 31 displays the content data received from the recorder 32, when the user touches the TV label 22b, the TV 31 does not have the content data, but the content data can be specified. The icon 21 may be displayed near the TV label 22b. Then, when the user performs an operation of flipping from the TV label 22b toward the PC label 22a, an animation may be displayed in which the icon 21 flies from the recorder label 22c toward the PC label 22a. In this case, actual content data is transmitted from the recorder 32 to the PC 30.

  Further, in the processing shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B, when the processing method in the data transmission destination apparatus as shown in FIG. 25 is selected, the flipping operation shown in FIG. Since the PC 30 that is the data transmission destination device cannot be specified until the operation is performed, the screen shown in FIG. 25 is displayed after the flipping operation of FIG. 26-2 (E), and after the user selects the processing method, An animation in which the content data icon 21 flies from the TV label 22b toward the PC label 22a is displayed.
