The mobile terminal device may be various terminal devices such as a smartphone and a tablet terminal, a television having a telephone function, a car navigation device, a game machine, a computer, and the like.

[1. System overview]
First, an outline of the system will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, in the present embodiment, the mobile phone 10 capable of receiving digital broadcasting will be described as an example. The mobile phone 10 can be connected to the base station 20. The base station 20 is a base station connected to a mobile phone network, and is connected to a mobile phone service such as 3GPP or LTE.

  In addition, the mobile phone 10 receives a digital broadcast from the broadcast station 30. The received digital broadcast may be received via a broadcast wave, or may be received via a network like an IP multicast broadcast.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the mobile phone 10 in this embodiment is connected to a terminal A (10a), a terminal B (10b), and a terminal C (10c). Here, the terminal B (10b) and the terminal C (10c) are mobile phones owned by the same user. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that each terminal (mobile phone) has the same functional configuration and is generally represented as a mobile phone 10.

[2. Functional configuration]
Next, the functional configuration of the mobile phone 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The cellular phone 10 mainly has a functional unit for realizing a telephone function and a functional unit for realizing a digital broadcast receiving function (television function).

  First, the terminal control unit 100 is a functional unit for controlling the entire mobile phone 10. For example, it is constituted by a CPU or the like. Each functional unit is connected to and controlled by the terminal control unit 100.

  The mobile communication unit 110 is connected to the base station 20 via the antenna 115, and realizes various communications such as data communication and voice communication. When there is an incoming call (voice communication incoming call) via the mobile communication unit 110, the incoming call control unit 120 detects the incoming call and notifies the terminal control unit 100 of it.

  The transfer control unit 130 is a functional unit for controlling the start / end of the transfer service for the base station. Specifically, the transfer service starts or ends based on the transfer setting set in the transfer destination setting unit 140. As the transfer setting, for example, a transfer destination telephone number, an address, terminal identification information, and the like are stored.

  The input unit 150 is a functional unit for accepting user operations. For example, it is realized by a hardware key, a software key, or the like. Also, other input means such as voice input may be used.

  The storage unit 160 is a functional unit that stores various programs and various data necessary for the operation of the mobile phone 10. The storage unit 160 is configured by, for example, a semiconductor memory. In this embodiment, the transfer destination information is described as being set in the transfer destination setting unit 140, but may be stored in the storage unit 160.

  The TV control unit 200 is a functional unit for controlling a digital broadcast receiving function (TV function) in the mobile phone 10. The tuner unit 210 receives a broadcast wave from the broadcast station 30 (a transmission device that transmits a broadcast wave) via the antenna 215, and demodulates the video signal and the audio signal. The demodulated video signal is output to the display unit 220, and the audio signal is output to the audio unit 230.

  The display unit 220 is a functional unit for outputting the received digital broadcast video (moving image or still image), and includes a display device such as an LCD or an organic EL panel. In addition, various operation / instruction screens (for example, outgoing call display, incoming call display, etc.) of the mobile phone function are displayed.

  The audio unit 230 is a functional unit for inputting and outputting audio. In the present embodiment, for example, a combination of a speaker and a microphone is used. As the audio output function, it outputs the received digital broadcast audio or the telephone audio. As the voice input function, a user's voice is input, modulated into voice data by the terminal control unit 100, and transmitted from the mobile communication unit 110.

  The viewing state monitoring unit 250 is a functional unit that periodically monitors whether or not it is currently in a digital broadcast viewing state. The terminal control unit 100 is notified of the viewing state.

[3. Processing example]
Then, the process example in this embodiment is demonstrated using figures. 3 and 4 are flowcharts for explaining processing in the mobile phone 10.

[3.1 Transfer destination setting process]
First, the process of setting a transfer destination terminal will be described with reference to FIG. First, when a transfer destination setting process is executed in a transfer source terminal, a search is made for a transfer destination candidate terminal (candidate terminal) (step S52).

  Here, various methods are conceivable as a method for searching for candidate terminals. For example, position information (position information acquired by any method such as GPS, a mobile base station, WiFi, or the like) is acquired, and a terminal near the transfer source terminal (mobile phone 10) is set as a candidate terminal. Alternatively, the candidate terminal may be searched by short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), WiFi, ZigBee, or wireless USB.

  Next, when a candidate terminal can be searched (step S54; Yes), a list of candidate terminals is displayed (step S56). Here, when the transfer destination terminal is selected from the candidate terminals (step S58; Yes), the selected candidate terminal is set as the transfer destination terminal (step S60). Specifically, the transfer destination is set in the transfer destination setting unit 140.

  If no candidate terminal can be searched (step S54; No), no transfer destination is set (step S62). Here, no transfer destination means that the transfer service is not used, and the transfer destination setting unit 140 may be set not to use the transfer service. For example, when the own terminal is set as the transfer destination The forwarding service may not be used.

  Further, when searching for candidate terminals, only the terminals registered in advance may be displayed, or when the transfer destination terminal is set, the transfer destination terminal may authenticate once. In this way, it is possible to limit the transfer destination terminal to a terminal that is managed (used) by itself.

  In the present embodiment, a list of candidate terminals is displayed. However, for example, when there is one other terminal or when it is determined in advance that the terminal is transferred to a predetermined terminal (mobile phone), it is not always necessary. There is no need to display a list. Alternatively, the transfer destination may be set directly (for example, the telephone number or address of the transfer destination is directly input).

[3.2 Transfer service control processing]
Next, the transfer service control process will be described. First, the mobile phone 10 enters a standby state (step S102). The standby state refers to a state where a call can be received from another terminal.

  Next, it is determined whether or not TV viewing has been started (step S104). Here, when the television viewing is started (step S104; Yes), the transfer service is started (step S106). Then, when the television viewing ends (step S108; Yes), the transfer service ends (step S110). In other words, a transfer service is performed during TV viewing.

  In this case, the overall processing of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. For example, when a call is sent from the terminal A (10a) to the terminal B (10b) (step S202), it is determined whether or not the transfer mode is started for the terminal B (10b) (step S204).

  If the terminal B is in the transfer mode, the terminal B is connected to the terminal C (10c) set as the transfer destination (step S204; Yes → step S208). On the other hand, when the transfer mode is not started, the terminal B (10b) is connected as it is (step S204; No → step S206).

[4. Example of operation]
A specific operation example will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an operation of setting a transfer destination terminal.

  FIG. 6A is an example of a display screen W100 when searching for a terminal that is a transfer destination candidate. In the display screen W100, the region R10 notifies the user that the candidate terminal is currently being searched.

  FIG. 6B is an example of the display screen W110 when the transfer destination terminal is selected from the candidate terminals. A list of candidate terminals is displayed in the area R20, and a transfer destination terminal is selected from the list. It is also possible to select transfer cancellation.

  FIG. 6C is an example of a display screen W120 displayed after setting the transfer destination terminal. The area R30 informs that the transfer destination terminal has been set. Further, when the transfer service is being executed, for example, the identification display R32 may be performed.

  Subsequently, an operation example of the entire embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7A, the case where the terminal B (10b) is in the television viewing state will be described. In this case, since the terminal B (10b) is in the television viewing state, the transfer service is started for the terminal C (10c) set as the transfer destination.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), when the calling process is performed from the terminal A (10a) to the terminal B (10b), the terminal B (10b) is watching TV, so the terminal The incoming call (voice communication) is transferred to C (10c).

  As shown in FIG. 7 (c), when the terminal C (10c) is received, the television viewing (reception of digital broadcast) of the terminal B (10b) continues to be executed without interruption. Thereby, the user can receive an incoming call at another terminal.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary for the owner to occupy the terminal during viewing by transferring the incoming call (voice communication such as a telephone call) to another terminal. As a result, even when a plurality of people are watching the television, it is possible to continue watching the television without taking away other people's viewing opportunities.

  In addition, even when watching alone, it is possible to continue watching TV while answering the phone. In particular, when one person owns a plurality of terminals (mobile terminal devices) as in recent years, the user is not aware of the forwarding service setting, and the incoming call is forwarded to another terminal. A good system can be provided.

[5. Modified example]
The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and the design and the like within the scope of the present invention are also within the scope of the claims. include.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a digital broadcast is being received has been described. However, the present invention can be applied to a case where there is an incoming call while another function is being executed. For example, the user may be viewing streaming video from the network or outputting video, audio, or the like stored in the mobile phone 10. Further, the game video may be displayed while the game is being executed, or the video of other software such as navigation may be displayed (the application is being executed).

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, all incoming calls are transferred during all television viewing, but a process of not transferring only specific incoming calls may be performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, even in the transfer mode (step S204; Yes), when the caller is a specific terminal (for example, a caller based on an emergency telephone number registered in advance). (Step S252; Yes), it may be configured to connect to the terminal B regardless of the transfer setting.

  If the transfer service is started but connection to the transfer destination terminal cannot be established, connection to the transfer source terminal may be performed again. That is, in FIG. 5, the connection to the terminal C is attempted in step S208.

  In the embodiment described above, the terminals are in the vicinity, and it is confirmed that they are the same owner by performing authentication at the terminals, for example, but the same terminal is managed by a network operator, for example. The service may be used. That is, it may be confirmed that the terminals belong to the same owner based on the contract status or the like.

  In this way, in this embodiment, since the call is transferred to a nearby terminal, if the other terminal (for example, terminal C) is forgotten at home or work and is not carried, the call is transferred and the incoming call is received. It is possible to prevent things from being noticed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the transfer service (transfer operation) is performed on the base station side, but the mobile terminal device itself may perform it. For example, in the case of an IP phone or the like, the incoming line (communication) and the outgoing line (communication) are established by transferring simultaneously, or one is configured as a 3G line and the other as a line using an IP phone. This is feasible. Further, two 3G lines may be used.

  In addition, the program that operates in each device in the embodiment is a program (a program that causes a computer to function) that controls the CPU and the like so as to realize the functions of the above-described embodiments. Information handled by these devices is temporarily stored in a temporary storage device (for example, RAM) at the time of processing, then stored in various ROM or HDD storage devices, and read and corrected by the CPU as necessary. • Writing is performed.

  Here, as a recording medium for storing the program, a semiconductor medium (for example, ROM, a non-volatile memory card, etc.), an optical recording medium / a magneto-optical recording medium (for example, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), MO (Magneto Optical), etc. Disc), MD (Mini Disc), CD (Compact Disc), BD, etc.), magnetic recording medium (eg, magnetic tape, flexible disk, etc.), etc. In addition, by executing the loaded program, not only the functions of the above-described embodiment are realized, but also based on the instructions of the program, the processing is performed in cooperation with the operating system or other application programs. The functions of the invention may be realized.

  In addition, when distributing to the market, the program can be stored and distributed in a portable recording medium, or transferred to a server computer connected via a network such as the Internet. In this case, of course, the storage device of the server computer is also included in the present invention.

  In addition, a part or all of each device in the above-described embodiments may be realized as an LSI (Large Scale Integration) that is typically an integrated circuit. Each functional block of each device may be individually chipped, or a part or all of them may be integrated into a chip. Further, the method of circuit integration is not limited to LSI, and may be realized by a dedicated circuit or a general-purpose processor. In addition, when integrated circuit technology that replaces LSI appears due to progress in semiconductor technology, it is of course possible to use an integrated circuit based on this technology.
