[1. Constitution〕
In the present embodiment, as shown in the configuration diagram of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 1 (“this apparatus” or “this apparatus 1”) that realizes a remote control function for operating a television (represented by “TV”) is also called. ) And the information processing apparatus 2 (also referred to as “partner apparatus” or “partner apparatus 2”) via the communication network N, remote control screens displayed on the apparatus 1 and the partner apparatus 2 respectively. It relates to the system which synchronizes.

  The configuration of the device 1 and the counterpart device 2 may be common, and collectively referred to as “device”. From the viewpoint of the counterpart device 2, the device 1 can also be said to be a counterpart device. However, for convenience of explanation, the device 1 used by the “son” and “Grandpa” are mainly used in accordance with the configuration and operation of the device 1. Taking the synchronization with the counterpart device 2 as an example.

  The devices 1 and 2 are information terminals that operate as a remote controller for a television. For example, a computer program (also referred to as a “remote control application”) such as a dedicated application (application software) is installed and executed on a smartphone. It is realized with.

  That is, the apparatuses 1 and 2 operate the telephone function between the TV operation unit V for operating the TV function and another information processing apparatus, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 (1) and 2 (2), respectively. The remote control screen R including the call operation unit P (call start button and the like) is displayed on the display screen G with a touch panel function.

  The apparatus 1 includes at least an arithmetic control unit 6 such as a CPU, a storage unit 7 such as a main memory and an auxiliary storage device, and a communication network (not shown) (for example, the Internet, a mobile phone, a PHS, a public wireless LAN). A communication unit 8 (for example, various wireless and wired communication adapters, other communication circuits, communication devices, etc.), a liquid crystal or an organic EL with a touch panel function represented by a capacitance method, etc. Display screen G.

  In the present apparatus 1, elements such as each unit shown in FIG. 1 are realized by the arithmetic control unit 6 executing the computer program (information processing program) stored in the storage unit 7. Of the elements to be realized, the mode of the information storage means is free and can be realized in any data format such as a file on the storage unit 7, or may be remote storage by network computing (cloud).

  The storage means may include not only a data storage area but also functions such as data input / output and management. In addition, the unit of the storage means shown in this application is for convenience of explanation, and the configuration can be divided or integrated as appropriate, and the processing data and processing results of each means are stored in addition to the explicit storage means. A storage means is used as appropriate.

  The arrows in the figure (for example, FIG. 1) supplementarily indicate the main direction of the flow of data, control, etc., and do not deny other flows or imply direction limitations. Further, each means other than the storage means is a processing means for realizing and executing the following information processing functions and actions (for example, FIG. 1), but these are functional units arranged for the purpose of explanation. It does not matter if it matches the hardware elements or software modules.

[2. Action)
Of the processing procedure in the apparatus 1 configured as described above, a part particularly related to the present embodiment is shown in the flowchart of FIG.
[2-1. (Overview of action)
Of these, the outline of the action is taken out and described. First, for example, the setting means 20 of the present apparatus 1 selects another information processing apparatus (for example, the partner apparatus 2) to be synchronized with the display of the remote control screen according to the user's operation. (Step S11).

  When an operation on the remote control screen is accepted in the apparatus 1 (step S12: “YES”), the transmission means 32 generates display control data for controlling the display change of the remote control screen by this operation and is set as a synchronization target. It transmits to the partner apparatus 2 (step S13).

  In the partner apparatus 2, the receiving means 40 receives the display control data transmitted from the apparatus 1 that is the synchronization partner (step S17: “YES”). Then, the reflecting means 54 of the present apparatus 1 and the partner apparatus 2 updates the display on the remote control screen based on the operation received on the remote control screen or the received display control data (steps S14 and S22).

[2-2. (Until display control data transmission)
Among the stages of the processing described above, first, the setting of the partner device to be synchronized (step S11) is performed by, for example, the application of the device 1 displaying the remote control screen of FIG. Based on a predetermined operation by each user, information for identifying each other is exchanged by packet communication, SMS (Short Message Service), or the like with the application of the device 2 displaying the 2 (2) remote control screen. By doing.

  A typical example of the operation on the remote control screen is an operation for changing the display state of the operation surface (UI). In this case, the transmission unit 32 generates and transmits display control data for performing control to change the display on the remote control screen in accordance with an operation for changing the operation surface. The device that has received the display control data changes the operation surface of its own remote control screen based on the data. The remote control screen has two areas, a TV operation unit V for operating the TV function, and a call operation unit P for operating a call function with another information processing apparatus.

  The operation on the remote control screen may be an operation on the call operation unit P, or may be an operation on the TV function for the TV operation unit V. As an example of the former, in FIGS. 2 (1) and 2 (2), when a specific button B3 or B4 is pressed, a call is made to a specific partner “company” or “soba restaurant”. Conceivable. The display change operation for the remote control screen is input by an appropriate setting operation such as a long press of a button or a menu call.

  Examples of the latter include the arrangement of television channel buttons (channel selection buttons) and the change of button names. For example, the button B1 in FIG. 2 (1) is a channel selection button for “New Tokyo TV” and the button B2 in FIG. 2 (2) is a channel selection button for “East Capital TV”, and these new settings and changes can be considered. In this case, the transmission means 32 generates display control data for controlling the display change of the remote control screen according to the operation on the television function, and transmits the display control data to the partner apparatus (step S13).

[2-3. Reflection of received display control data)
Reception of display control data from the partner device (for example, device 2) occurs (step S17: “YES”) within a predetermined time (for example, 1 second, 5 seconds, etc.) from the operation performed by the own device (for example, this device 1). If so (step S18: “YES”), a selection operation necessary according to the presence or absence of conflict between the operations of the partner device and the own device is accepted.

  That is, the conflict determination unit 55 determines a conflict between the first display control data generated by the operation on the own device and the second display control data received from the counterpart device by the receiving unit 40. Whether or not there is is determined (step S24).

  Although the conflict condition can be set arbitrarily, for example, immediately after setting the channel selection of the TV station on the own device to the button, the other device may try to set another channel selection on the same button. In addition, there is a case where a channel selection that has already been set to a button in the own device is to be set to another button on the partner device side.

  When the conflict determination unit 55 determines that there is a conflict (step S25: “YES”), the reflection unit 54 compares the remote control screens based on the first display control data and the second display control data, respectively. It is displayed on one screen (step S26), and a selection operation is accepted (step S27).

  In FIG. 4, immediately after “East Capital TV” is set in the device 2, second display control data for setting another channel “New Tokyo TV” is transmitted from the device 1 to the same button. The remote control screen corresponding to each option is displayed in a comparatively compressed manner by compressing the horizontal width in the left-right direction by about half, and one of the selections is required in a dialog box D1 indicated by an ellipse.

  Then, based on the display control data on the side that has received such a selection operation (step S27), the remote control screens of the own device and the partner device are updated (step S28), and the display control data without the selection operation is canceled. Notify other information processing apparatus (step S29). When the display control data without the selection operation is the first display control data based on the operation on the own device, the display update of the remote control screen (step S14) by the operation is performed by the selected second display control data. It is overwritten by the update based on the data (step S28).

  When reception of display control data (step S17: “YES”) is not within a predetermined time from the change operation performed by the own device (step S18: “NO”), or it is determined by the conflict determination means 55 that there is no conflict. In this case (step S25: “NO”), the reflecting means 54 changes the remote control screen based on the display control data generated by the own device or the display control data received from the counterpart device.

  In the processing procedure of FIG. 3, the reflecting means 54 immediately reflects the first display control data by the operation on the own device (step S14), and received the second display control data generated based on the operation on the partner device side (second). The display control data is reflected after the user's consent (steps S19 to S22). However, the display control data waits until it is determined that there is no conflict with the first display control data by the operation of the own device ( Step S25: “NO”) may be reflected.

  However, in the present embodiment, the display control data is received (step S17: “YES”) when the predetermined time has not elapsed since the operation performed by the device itself (step S18: “NO”), or the conflict determination means. Even when it is determined by 55 that there is no conflict (step S25: "NO"), it is reflected after obtaining consent.

  Specifically, the reflecting means 54 temporarily specifies the display change location based on the display control data received by the receiving means 40 on the remote control screen (step S19, “East Capital TV” portion of FIG. 5). In response to accepting the consent operation (step S20) for the change using, for example, the dialog box D2 (step S21: “YES”), the remote control screen is updated (step S22).

[2-4. Transmission of other information
Further, when the display change operation (step S12) is related to a call with another information processing apparatus, the transmission unit 32 sets information indicating the own apparatus in the display control data and transmits the set information (step S12). S13). FIG. 6 shows an example of an operation of providing buttons B3 and B4 for starting a call with the partner apparatus in the call operation unit P for operating the call function. In this case, each device transmits, as information indicating its own device, for example, each other's name of a user who should be a call partner to the partner device.

  The information indicating the device itself may be received from the user each time, and the name or the like may be obtained from registration information of various electronic telephone books or SNS (social networking service) used by the user on the device or the Internet. get.

  In the example of FIG. 6, the device 1 (corresponding to FIG. 6 (1)) transmits a character string “son”, which is information indicating its own device, to the counterpart device 2 (corresponding to FIG. 6 (2)). It is incorporated into the button B4 and displayed. Conversely, the character string “Grandpa” may be transmitted from the partner device 2 to the son's main device 1 and incorporated into the button B3 for display.

  As a result, the information for the other party is set in the button for making a call from the own device to the other party, and the user's name is displayed on the button for making a call from the other device to himself. A display optimized for the partner can be displayed on the partner device.

  In addition, regarding the TV operation unit V and the call operation unit P, the arrangement of whether various buttons are combined or divided into a plurality of parts, and the number and types of components such as buttons belonging to each can be changed. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, on the call display portion P2 of each remote control screen, a partner to be photographed by a built-in camera or the like of each device at the time of a call, or own videophone moving images M1 and M2 are displayed. May be. Such a change in the display position or display size of the moving image on the screen may be synchronized as a display setting operation on the remote control screen.

  Further, the channel operation during a call with the partner apparatus is at least synchronized. That is, the operation synchronization means 38 of the transmission means 32, when an operation of the television operation unit is performed during a call with another information processing apparatus (step S15: “YES”), to reproduce the operation on the partner apparatus. Operation data is generated (step S16), and the operation data alone is transmitted to the partner apparatus in accordance with the display control data (step S16).

  In this case, according to the channel switched on one side of the apparatus, the other side may be forcibly switched as in the case of remote control, or may be switched after accepting consent for switching.

[3. effect〕
As described above, in the present embodiment, the TV operation unit for channel selection and the call operation unit for call control are displayed on the remote control screen of the TV to be displayed, and the contents of the operation for these are transmitted as data. Then, the same display is made on the remote control screen of the other party (for example, FIG. 6). As a result, a common TV remote control screen can be shared, TV operations such as viewing the same channel can be easily shared, and telephone conversations can be easily made on TV topics. Can be promoted.

  In particular, according to the present embodiment, when the display setting of the remote control screen is changed in one information processing apparatus, the display control data is transmitted to the other information processing apparatus, so that the remote control screen of the other information processing apparatus is displayed. The display is changed. By synchronizing the remote control screen between the information processing apparatuses, the same remote control screen can be operated between users. Therefore, it can contribute to promotion of communication via television between users in remote places.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the change location that has received the display setting operation on one remote control screen is temporarily indicated on the other remote control screen, and the update is updated by obtaining the consent to the change and actually reflecting it. The remote control screen can be shared in an equal relationship without unilaterally forcing the relationship.

  In addition, in this embodiment, a display change that does not conflict between the display change operation received by another information processing apparatus and the display change operation received by the own apparatus is reflected in the other, and the conflicting display change is Display control data representing the contents of each is displayed in contrast on at least one of the remote control screens to reflect the selected display control data, and to cancel the unselected display control data to the other.

  Thereby, the non-conflicting display change is reflected in the update of the remote control screen, and the conflicting display change is reflected in the contents of the selected display settings on both remote control screens. Therefore, even if an inconvenient display setting is unexpectedly performed with a user of another information processing apparatus, the display on the remote control screen can be synchronized with the content of any display change.

  In particular, in this embodiment, in the case of a change operation related to a call such as providing a call start button directly connected to each other (for example, buttons B3 and B4 in FIG. 6), information indicating the own device is set in the change data and transmitted. By doing so, it is possible to omit a complicated operation of manually inputting information indicating the own apparatus for the remote control screen of the other party.

  In particular, according to the present embodiment, when the television function is operated by one information processing apparatus, the display control data is transmitted to the other information processing apparatus, so that the operation is performed on the remote control screen of the other information processing apparatus. The display is changed according to the contents of. For this reason, the remote control operation of the other user can be shared between the users by synchronizing the remote control screens between the information processing apparatuses (for example, FIGS. 5 and 6). Therefore, it can contribute to promotion of communication via television between users in remote places.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to sharing the remote control screen, an operation performed on one device during a call (step S15: “YES”) is transmitted to the other as data (step S16), so that the same channel is transmitted. The operation contents such as switching can be transmitted.

[4. Second Embodiment]
In the above embodiment (referred to as the first embodiment), the display control data based on the operation on the partner device is reflected on the remote control screen after waiting for consent or selection in case of conflict, Alternatively, information indicating the right to change the display of the call operation unit may be alternately transferred between apparatuses.

  That is, in the second embodiment (not shown), the transmission means transfers information indicating the right to change the display to another information processing apparatus and holds the information indicating the right together with the transmission of the display control data. In this case, a display change operation on the remote control screen is accepted.

  In this way, in the second embodiment, whenever one of the remote controller screens changes display, the right to change the display is moved to the other. As a result, the location of the right to change can be clarified from time to time, and both users can be involved in a well-balanced manner and a remote control screen that is easy to use for both can be realized smoothly.
