Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a migration destination communication terminal to properly display migration data when the migration data is moved to the migration destination communication terminal having an application installation format different from a migration source communication terminal.SOLUTION: A data migration support device extracts data item names and data values composing migration data to be moved from a migration source communication terminal to a migration destination communication terminal, generates verification data including mutually different data item names and corresponding data values, and deletes any of the data values included in the verification data to generate a changed verification data. The device determines whether captured screens of the verification data before and after the change are the same or different, for each data item name. As for a data item name having different captured screens before and after the change among the data item names included in the migration data, the device stores a corresponding data value with the same data item name. As for a data item name having the same captured screen before and after the change, the device stores a corresponding data value with a different data item name.

Description

  The present invention relates to a data migration support apparatus, a data migration support method, and the like.

  Manufacturers or manufacturers of mobile phone terminals have developed mobile phone terminals equipped with an open source operating system (OS) that can be obtained free of charge in order to reduce user convenience and cost. In addition, in order to differentiate our products from those of other companies, we may modify the standard phone book application included in the open source OS and add our own functions.

  Therefore, even if mobile phone terminals manufactured by two manufacturers have the same OS installed, the implementation of the phone book application differs depending on the modification made independently by each manufacturer, and may behave differently. There is sex. For example, a phone book application of model A can register a social network service (SNS) account as contact attribute information, but a phone book application of another model B does not have an input field for such attribute information. In some cases, registration is not possible.

  On the other hand, when changing the model, it is desired to transfer all data stored in the old mobile phone terminal to the new mobile phone terminal. However, due to differences in the implementation form of applications installed on mobile phone terminals, part of contact attribute information registered in the source mobile phone terminal may not be transferred when changing models. Concerned. For example, contact attribute data such as the above-mentioned social network service account may not be properly displayed as phonebook data even if it is copied to the transfer destination mobile phone terminal.

  Inventors of the present invention migrated in order to properly display attribute information, etc. that cannot be properly displayed on the migration destination mobile phone terminal simply by copying from the migration source to the migration destination. We focused on writing to other attribute information that can be displayed on the previous mobile phone terminal. For example, the transfer source mobile phone terminal can be displayed properly because the SNS account exists as contact attribute information, but the transfer destination mobile phone terminal is appropriate because the SNS account does not exist as contact attribute information. Suppose that it could not be displayed. In this case, by handling the SNS account information as a memo that is attribute information existing in the destination mobile phone terminal, the SNS account @aa is also displayed on the destination mobile phone terminal as shown below It is possible to do.

Name: A Phone number: 090-AAAA-BBBB
Notes:
SNS account name: @aa
However, before migrating data, identify what data item names cannot be displayed by the phone book application installed in the destination mobile phone terminal, and change the data item name to another data item name. It is not easy for the mobile phone terminal of the transfer destination to appropriately display the transfer data.

  An object of the present invention is to enable a migration destination communication terminal to appropriately display migration data when the migration data is transferred to a migration destination communication terminal whose application implementation is different from the migration source communication terminal. That is.

A data migration support apparatus according to an embodiment includes:
Means for receiving migration data to be transferred from the migration source communication terminal to the migration destination communication terminal;
Extracting data item names and data values constituting the migration data, generating verification data including one or more different data item names and data values corresponding to the data item names, and the verification data Means for generating verification data after change by deleting a data value corresponding to any data item name included in
Means for determining for each data item name the difference between the screen capture of the screen displaying the verification data before the change and the screen capture of the screen displaying the verification data after the change,
Among the data item names included in the migration data, for the data item names with different screen captures before and after the change, the corresponding data value is the same as the data item name included in the migration data. On the other hand, with respect to data item names having different screen captures before and after the change, data storage means for storing corresponding data values with different data item names that can be displayed on the migration destination communication terminal; Is a data migration support device.

  According to one embodiment, when migration data is transferred to a migration destination communication terminal that has a different application implementation and migration from the migration source communication terminal, the migration destination communication terminal can appropriately display the migration data. it can.

The figure which shows an example of the data written in the communication terminal of a transfer origin and a transfer destination. The figure which shows the data written in the communication terminal of a transfer destination.

  In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention enables a migration destination communication terminal having a different application implementation form to automatically determine the display possibility of migration data.

  In general, the present invention relates to a data migration support apparatus that supports an operation of migrating telephone directory data used on an old model to a new communication terminal when changing the model of a mobile phone terminal. The data migration support apparatus may be built in the migration destination communication terminal or may exist on the network. In the latter case, the data migration support apparatus receives data from the migration source communication terminal, corrects the data as necessary, and transmits the data to the migration destination communication terminal.

Four. Example of operation The classification of these items is not essential to the present invention, and the items described in two or more items may be used in combination as necessary. It may be applied to the matters described in (if not inconsistent).

<1. System>
FIG. 1 shows an outline of a system used when transferring telephone directory data from a migration source to a migration destination in the embodiment of the present invention. The system includes a transfer source communication terminal 1, a transfer destination communication terminal 2, and a communication network 3 that relays communication between the communication terminals. For example, when changing the model or purchasing a model, the migration data stored in the communication terminal 1 is transferred to the communication terminal 2 via the communication network 3. The communication network 3 can be a communication network according to any suitable communication protocol known in the art. For example, the transfer data transferred from the transfer source communication terminal 1 to the transfer destination communication terminal 2 can be exchanged via a wired or wireless communication network 3. Further, the migration data may be migrated using an external storage such as an SD card without going through the communication network 3.

  The communication terminals 1 and 2 are typically mobile phones, but may be other devices. For example, communication terminals 1 and 2, user devices, information terminals, high-function mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable personal computers, palmtop computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, etc. However, it is not limited to these.

  The source and destination communication terminals 1 and 2 are arbitrary, but for convenience of explanation, the source communication terminal 1 is a communication terminal used by the user before the transfer, and the transfer destination communication terminal 2 Assume that the same OS as the installed OS is installed. However, it is assumed that the communication terminals 1 and 2 are manufactured by different manufacturers and the specific implementation forms of the applications are not the same.

<2. Source communication terminal>
FIG. 2 shows a functional block diagram of a communication terminal used in the system shown in FIG. FIG. 2 exemplarily shows functional units that are particularly used in the present embodiment, among various functional units included in the communication terminal.

  The transfer source communication terminal 1 includes a telephone directory data storage unit 11, a telephone directory data acquisition unit 12, and a transmission / reception unit 13.

  The phone book data storage means 11 stores phone book data. The phone book data includes one or more combinations of data item names (attribute information) and data values. The phone book data includes data acquired through the network in addition to data manually input by the user.

  The phone book data acquisition unit 12 acquires the phone book data stored in the phone book data storage unit 11 and gives it to the transmission / reception unit 13 in a model change or other situation.

  The transmission / reception means 13 transmits the telephone book data (migration data) acquired by the telephone book data acquisition means to the destination communication terminal via the communication network 3. Further, the transmission / reception means 13 may output the migration data to an external storage such as an SD card.

<3. Destination communication terminal>
The transfer source communication terminal 2 includes transfer data storage means 21, telephone book data storage means 22, telephone book content display means 23, screen capture acquisition means 24, display possibility determination means 25, and verification data generation. Means 26, transition type determination means 27, and transmission / reception means 28 are provided.

The transmission / reception means 28 receives the migration data from the migration source communication terminal 1 via the communication network 3. Further, the transmission / reception means 28 may input migration data from an external storage such as an SD card.
The migration data storage means 21 stores the migration data received by the transmission / reception means 28. The migration data is data that is migrated from the migration source to the migration destination communication terminal, and is typically telephone directory data. The phone book data includes one or more combinations of data item names (attribute information) and data values.

  The phone book data storage unit 22 stores phone book data used in the communication terminal 2. The telephone directory data stored in the telephone directory data storage unit 22 is created by modifying the migration data stored in the migration data storage unit 21 as necessary by a method described later.

  The phone book content display means 23 displays the stored phone book data. The phone book content display means 23 may include an arbitrary visual display unit that visually outputs information. Examples of such a display unit include, but are not limited to, a display, a control panel including a keypad, a cathode ray tube (CRT), a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic EL panel, and a touch screen.

  The screen capture obtaining unit 24 obtains a screen capture or a hard copy of the screen for a screen when verification data before and after change, which will be described later, is displayed on the phone book content display unit 23. The screen capture acquisition unit 24 may be realized by an API that acquires a hard copy of a screen among application program interfaces (APIs) provided in the OS of the transfer destination communication terminal 2.

  The display possibility determination means 25 determines whether or not a specific data item can be displayed on the transfer destination communication terminal 2 by comparing screen captures of verification data before and after the change.

  The verification data generation unit 26 generates verification data for determining the display possibility of the data value from the migration data stored in the migration data storage unit 21. Both migration data and validation data are common in that they contain one or more combinations of data item names and data values. However, the migration data may contain any number of data values and contact IDs with the same data item name, whereas the verification data does not have multiple identical data item names (attribute information). It is different. That is, the data item names included in the verification data are all different from each other.

  The transfer format determining means 27 is the phone book data storage means 22 that converts the data included in the transfer data or verification data as phone book data according to the determination result of the data display possibility in the display possibility determination means 25. Determine how to store the file. Specifically, when the data value included in the migration data is stored in the telephone directory data storage means 22, the data item name included in the migration data is used as it is, or another data item name is used. It is determined whether to store.

<4. Example of operation>
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an operation example together with various means shown in FIG. As a premise for explanation, it is assumed that the telephone directory data stored in the transfer source communication terminal 1 is about to be transferred to the transfer destination communication terminal 2. Further, it is assumed that the migration source communication terminal 1 is a communication terminal used by the user before the migration, and the same OS as the OS installed in the migration destination communication terminal 2 is installed. However, it is assumed that the communication terminals 1 and 2 are manufactured by different manufacturers and the specific implementation forms of the applications are not the same.

  In step S01, the phone book data acquisition unit 12 of the transfer source communication terminal 1 acquires the phone book data to be transferred to the transfer destination communication terminal 2 from the phone book storage unit 11. Then, the telephone directory data is transmitted to the destination communication terminal 2 by the transmission / reception means 13. The transfer destination communication terminal 2 stores the telephone book data (transfer data) received by the transmission / reception means 28 in the transfer data storage means 21.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of migration data or telephone directory data. In the case of the illustrated example, the telephone directory data includes a contact identifier ID, a data item name (contact attribute information), and a data value. The migration data storage means 21 may store, for example, the phone book data to be migrated in the file system of the migration destination communication terminal 2 in the CSV (Comma Separated Values) file format. However, it is not mandatory to use a CSV file. In the case of the illustrated example, the data item names (attribute information) of phone (phone), sns (social network service), mail (mail), company (company), department (department), and note (memo) are their own data. Stored with value and contact ID.

  In step S02 of FIG. 3, the verification data generation unit 26 acquires the migration data (phone book data) from the migration data storage unit 21, and generates verification data. The verification data generation means 26 writes the generated verification data into the telephone directory data storage means 22. The telephone directory data storage means 22 corresponds to an area for storing telephone directory data of the destination communication terminal 2.

  The verification data is telephone book data or a contact profile created for the sake of convenience in order to determine whether display is possible as described later. Both migration data and validation data are common in that they contain one or more combinations of data item names and data values. However, the migration data may contain any number of data values and contact IDs with the same data item name, whereas the same multiple data item names (attribute information) do not exist in the verification data. It is different. In other words, among the data item names appearing in the migration data, different data item names are included in the verification data, and the contact ID and data value correspond to any one data item name.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the difference between the migration data and the verification data. The migration data (left) is the phone book data actually saved in the migration source communication terminal 1. The verification data (right) is created based on this migration data. First, in the migration data, five rows (records) from phone (phone), sns (social network service), mail (mail), company (company), department (department) in order from the above record (i.e., row) Since there are no duplicate data item names for these data, the data for five lines from above constitute the data for five lines from the top of the verification data as they are. As the contact ID in the verification data, the contact ID “001” in the migration data may be used as it is, but in the example shown in the figure, a contact ID “999” is set to distinguish them. Next, data “002, phone (telephone), 09011113333” in the third line from the bottom of the migration data is not data constituting the verification data. This is because the data item name “phone” already exists in the first line of the verification data. And for the data for the two lines from the bottom of the migration data, the data item names “website” and “note” are not yet included in the verification data, so these are just for verification. Included in the data. The data item names (attribute information) included in the verification data created in this way are all different. The number of rows of verification data is equal to the number of different data item names included in the migration data. In the case of the illustrated example, the different data item names included in the migration data are phone (phone), sns (social network service), mail (mail), company (company), department (department), website (web Since there are seven (site) and note (note), the verification data has seven lines of data.
In step S03 of FIG. 3, the display possibility determination unit 25 updates or changes the verification data written in the phone book data storage unit 22, while the specific data item name (attribute information) in the phone book data. It is determined whether or not the information can be displayed. As will be described later, this determination is performed by comparing the screen capture reflected in the phone book content display means 23 with respect to the verification data before and after the update, and determining whether there is a change. First, the phone book content display means 23 displays a screen listing the contact profile information using the phone book application installed in the transfer destination communication terminal 2. Specifically, the profile information corresponding to a specific contact can be displayed by calling an API provided in the OS. The screen displayed by the phone book content display means 23 is stored in the file system of the destination communication terminal 2 as a bitmap format file by the screen capture acquisition means 24. However, the storage method itself is arbitrary. The screen capture acquisition means 24 may be realized by an API that acquires a hard copy of a screen provided in the OS of the communication terminal 2 that is the transfer destination.

  6 and 7 show a state in which it is determined whether or not data of a specific data item name can be displayed. First, for the screen when the verification data as shown in the upper left of FIG. 6 is displayed on the screen, as shown in the upper right of FIG. 6, the image capture acquisition means 24 captures the screen (comparison reference screen capture). To get. Next, one of the data item names included in the verification data is designated. For example, assume that the first data item name “phone” is specified. In this case, by deleting the data value 009111212222 corresponding to the data item name phone (telephone) in the verification data, the verification data after the change is generated (lower left in FIG. 6). Instead of deleting the data value 09011112222, it may be changed to a different data value. For the screen when the verification data after the change is displayed on the screen, the screen capture acquisition means 24 acquires a screen capture (comparison target screen capture) (lower right in FIG. 6). The display possibility determination means 25 compares the screen capture of the comparison reference (upper right of FIG. 6) with the screen capture of the comparison target (lower right of FIG. 6), and determines whether there is a difference or a difference. In the case of the current example, “09011112222” is displayed for the data item name “phone” in the verification data before the change, but such information is not displayed in the verification data after the change. It is different in point. Therefore, the display possibility determination means 25 determines that there is a difference or difference, that is, the data item to be verified can be displayed on the transfer destination communication terminal.

  Next, among the data item names included in the verification data, the data item name following the phone is specified. For example, assume that the following data item name “sns” (social network service) is designated. In this case, first, as shown in the upper right of FIG. 7, the image capture acquisition unit 24 performs screen capture (comparison standard comparison) when the verification data as shown in the upper left of FIG. 7 is displayed on the screen. Screen capture). Next, the verification data after the change is generated by deleting the data value @aa corresponding to the data item name sns (social network service) in the verification data (lower left in FIG. 7). Instead of deleting the data value @aa, it may be changed to a different data value. For the screen when the verification data after the change is displayed on the screen, the screen capture acquisition unit 24 acquires the screen capture (comparison target screen capture) (lower right in FIG. 7). The display possibility determination means 25 compares the screen capture of the comparison reference with the screen capture of the comparison target, and determines the difference or the presence / absence of the difference. In the case of the current example, the comparison reference and the screen capture of the comparison target are the same, and there is no difference. Therefore, the display possibility determination means 25 determines that there is no difference or no difference, that is, the data item to be verified cannot be displayed on the transfer destination communication terminal.

  Such a determination is executed for each data item included in the verification data, and the determination result as shown in FIG. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 8, it is indicated that there is no difference (NG) in the data items sns (social network service) and department (department) among the seven data items, and there is a difference in the other items. (OK) is shown. If there is no difference, it means that the data value of the data item name cannot be properly displayed, so “NG” is indicated. On the other hand, if there is a difference, it means that the data value of the data item name can be displayed appropriately, so “OK” is indicated.

  In step S04, the migration format determination unit 27 writes the migration data stored in the migration data storage unit 21 in the telephone book data storage unit 22 according to the determination result made by the display possibility determination unit 25. Decide what to do. The migration format determination means 27 reads the records constituting the migration data from the migration data storage means 21 one by one (reads one row of data), and determines the data item according to the determination result as shown in FIG. To do. In this case, when storing the data value included in the migration data in the phone book data storage means 22, use the data item name (data item name corresponding to the data value) in the migration data as it is, Alternatively, it is determined whether to use another data item name. For example, if the determination result for a certain data item is OK, the data item name is used as it is. If the determination result is NG for a certain data item, another data item name different from the data item name is used. Another data item name is an appropriate arbitrary data item name that can be displayed on the destination communication terminal 2.

  In accordance with an instruction from the migration format determination means 27, the telephone directory data storage means 22 stores the data value. Specifically, among the data items included in the migration data, the data items for which the judgment result is OK (data items with different screen captures before and after the change) are included in the migration data. The corresponding data value is stored with the same data item name. On the other hand, for data items whose determination result is NG (data items with different screen captures before and after the change), they correspond with different data item names that can be displayed on the destination communication terminal. Data value is stored.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of the output result of the migration format determination means 27. Since the determination result shown in FIG. 8 indicates OK for phone, mail, company, website, and note, the data values and the like of these data items are written in the telephone book data storage means 22 with the same data item name. On the other hand, since NG is shown for the data items of sns and department, if the same data item name is used, the data value is not properly displayed. For this reason, for data items whose determination result is NG, any appropriate data item name that can be displayed on the destination communication terminal 2 is used. In the illustrated example, note is used as such an appropriate data item name. That is, the data values corresponding to sns and department are stored in the telephone book data storage means 22 under the data item name “note”. When data values are stored with different data item names in the phone book data storage means 22, the data item names of the migration data may be concatenated and stored before the data values.

  FIG. 10 shows the modified migration data written in the telephone directory data storage means 22. All of the data items of phone, mail, company, website, and note can appropriately display data values in the destination communication terminal 2. Therefore, the information included in the transfer data can be displayed as much as possible on the transfer destination communication terminal. In the case of the illustrated example, “aa @” for sns and “service section” for Department are not displayed unless they are according to the present invention, but can be displayed to the user according to the present invention. Which data item stores the data value corresponding to the data item whose determination result is NG may be determined in advance by the system, or may be arbitrarily set by the user. For example, a data item that does not depend on a specific data attribute such as note may be set as the storage destination.

  Although the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, they are merely exemplary and those skilled in the art will appreciate various variations, modifications, alternatives, substitutions, and the like. For example, the present invention may be applied to any appropriate mobile communication system that migrates telephone directory data or the like. Although specific numerical examples have been described in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, these numerical values are merely examples and any appropriate values may be used unless otherwise specified. The classification of items in the above description is not essential to the present invention, and the items described in two or more items may be used in combination as necessary, or the items described in one item may be used in different items. It may be applied to the matters described in (if not inconsistent).
