  The wireless communication circuit 32 is a circuit for transmitting and receiving radio waves for voice calls and mails through the antenna 34. In the embodiment, the wireless communication circuit 32 is a circuit for performing wireless communication by the CDMA method. For example, when the user operates the input device 40 to instruct a telephone call (calling), the wireless communication circuit 32 executes a telephone call process under the finger of the processor 30 and sends a telephone call signal via the antenna 34. Output. The telephone call signal is transmitted to the other party's telephone through the base station and the communication network. When an incoming call process is performed at the other party's telephone, a communicable state is established, and the processor 30 executes a call process.

  The normal call processing will be described in detail. The modulated audio signal transmitted from the other party's telephone is received by the antenna 34. The received modulated audio signal is demodulated and decoded by the wireless communication circuit 32. The received voice signal obtained by these processes is converted to a voice signal by the D / A converter 38 and then output from the speaker 18. On the other hand, the transmission voice signal captured through the microphone 20 is converted into voice data by the A / D converter 36 and then given to the processor 30. The audio data is subjected to encoding processing and modulation processing by the wireless communication circuit 32 under the instruction of the processor 30, and is output via the antenna 34. Therefore, the modulated voice signal is transmitted to the other party's telephone through the base station and the communication network.

  When a telephone call signal from the other party's telephone is received by the antenna 34, the radio communication circuit 32 notifies the processor 30 of an incoming call (incoming call). In response to this, the processor 30 controls the display driver 42 to display caller information (such as a telephone number) described in the incoming call notification on the display 14. In accordance with these processes, the processor 30 causes the speaker 18 to output a ring tone (sometimes called a ringing melody or a ringing voice).

  When the user performs a response operation using the call key 22 (FIG. 1) included in the input device 40, the wireless communication circuit 32 executes a call state establishment process under the instruction of the processor 30. Further, a communicable state is established, and the processor 30 executes the normal call processing described above.

Further, when the call termination operation is performed by the call termination key 24 (FIG. 1) included in the input device 40 after the transition to the call ready state, the processor 30 controls the wireless communication circuit 32 to terminate the call to the other party. Send a signal. Then, after transmitting the call end signal, the processor 30 ends the call process. The processor 30 also ends the call process when a call end signal is received from the other party first.

  The microphone 20 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the A / D converter 36, and the audio signal from the microphone 20 is input to the processor 30 as digital audio data through the A / D converter 36 as described above. The speaker 18 is connected to the D / A converter 38. The D / A converter 38 converts digital audio data into an audio signal and supplies the audio signal to the speaker 18 through an amplifier. Therefore, the sound data is output from the speaker 18.

  The processor 30 adjusts the volume of the sound output from the speaker 18 by controlling the amplification factor of the amplifier connected to the D / A converter 38, for example, in response to the volume operation by the user. Can do.

  The display driver 42 is connected to the display 14 shown in FIG. 1. Accordingly, the display 14 displays a video or an image according to the video or image data output from the processor 30. That is, the display driver 42 controls display on the display 14 connected to the display driver 42 under the instruction of the processor 30. The display driver 42 includes a video memory that temporarily stores image data to be displayed. The display 14 is provided with a backlight using, for example, an LED as a light source, and the display driver 42 controls the brightness of the backlight and lighting / extinguishing in accordance with instructions from the processor 30.

  The touch panel 16 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the touch panel control circuit 48. The touch panel control circuit 48 applies necessary voltage and the like to the touch panel 16 and also displays a touch start signal indicating the start of touch by the user on the touch panel 16, an end signal indicating the end of touch by the user, and a touch position touched by the user. The indicated coordinate data is input to the processor 30. Therefore, the processor 30 can determine which icon or key the user touched at that time based on the coordinate data.

  In the embodiment, the touch panel 16 is a capacitance type that detects a change in capacitance between electrodes caused by an object such as a finger approaching the surface. For example, one or more fingers touch the touch panel 16. Detect that. The touch panel 16 is provided on the display 14 and is a pointing device for instructing an arbitrary position within the screen. The touch panel control circuit 48 functions as a detection unit, detects a touch operation within the touch effective range of the touch panel 16, and outputs coordinate data indicating the position of the touch operation to the processor 30. That is, the user inputs an operation position, an operation direction, and the like to the mobile phone 10 by touching, sliding, and releasing the surface of the touch panel 16.

  For example, referring to FIG. 4A, when the finger is slid and released so that the moving distance of the lock object Ob becomes a predetermined distance or more, as shown in FIG. The display disappears. When the display of the lock object Ob disappears, the standby screen shown in FIG. 4C is displayed in the state display area 62 of the display 14. In addition, the locked state is also released when a touch operation (flick) of flipping a finger at a predetermined speed or higher is performed on the lock object O. Thus, in this embodiment, the lock object Ob is displayed at the lower center of the screen so that the user can operate the lock object Ob with one hand. Therefore, the user can easily perform the unlocking operation with one hand. Further, since the direction of the touch operation for releasing the locked state with respect to the lock object Ob is not limited, the unlocking operation of the locked state can be easily performed with either of the left and right hands.

  If the movement distance of the lock object Ob is less than the predetermined distance or the flick speed is slow, the lock state is not released and the lock icon Ob returns to the original location.

  FIG. 5 is an illustrative view showing one example of a configuration of a notification table. The notification table is a table in which notification information for notifying the user is recorded. The notification information is recorded in the notification table when the missed call occurs, when voice is recorded by the answering machine function, or when a new mail is received by the mail function, and when the notification information occurs. .

  Referring to FIG. 5, in the notification table, a “time column” for recording the time when the notification information occurs, a “function column” for recording the function corresponding to the notification information, and the content of the notification information are recorded “ “Content column” and “additional information column” in which additional information of the notification information is recorded are included. Each row of the additional table corresponds to one piece of notification information.

For example, the notification information generated at 13:20 (13:20) and 14:38 (14:38) indicates that the incoming call from “Ms. ++” is unanswered (missed call). The telephone number “Ms. ++” is recorded as additional information. In addition, the notification information generated at 15:10 (15:10) indicates that the sender has received a mail from “Mr. ***” (subject “Hello”). As additional information, A part of the text (“What what ...”) is recorded.

  When the other party's voice is recorded by the answering machine function, the recording time and the like are recorded in the notification table as notification information, and the other party's telephone number is recorded as additional information.

  Here, when the lock state is set, the notification information recorded in the notification table is displayed on the lock screen. With reference to FIG. 6, a notification area 72 for displaying notification information is provided in the function display area 62. When one piece of notification information is recorded in the notification table, notification information N1 corresponding to the notification information is displayed in the notification area 72.

  Referring to FIGS. 10A and 10B, the notification information N3 is for notifying new mail, and when the finger is released in the notification area 72 in which the notification information N3 is displayed, the notification information N3 is notified. New mail corresponding to N3 is displayed on the display 14. In the function display area 62 of the display 14, details of the received mail are displayed, and a reply key 74 for replying to a new mail (received mail) is displayed on the lower left. That is, the user can reply to the displayed received mail if necessary.

  As described above, when the user confirms the notification information N displayed on the lock screen, the user can release the lock state and execute a function corresponding to the notification information N if necessary. In particular, the user can confirm the details of the notification information N corresponding to the additional information, then release the lock state and determine whether to execute the function corresponding to the notification information N.

  If the touch position is included in the display of the missed call notification information N2 after touching the lock object Ob, the other party's telephone number is displayed as additional information. When released, the telephone function is executed so that a call can be made to the telephone number of the additional information. That is, the user can respond to a missed call by omitting the operation of releasing the lock state.

  Furthermore, when the notification information N by the answering machine function is displayed on the display 14, the display of the notification information N includes the time when the voice was recorded, the name of the other party, and the like. Then, after the touch on the lock object Ob, when the touch position is included in the display of the notification information N of the answering machine, the other party's telephone number is displayed as additional information, and when it is released, the recorded voice can be reproduced. The answering machine function is executed in a state where That is, the recorded voice can be confirmed without the operation of releasing the lock state.

  Although the features of the embodiment have been outlined above, a detailed description will be given below using the memory map shown in FIG. 11 and the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  Referring to FIG. 11, program storage area 302 and data storage area 304 are formed in RAM 46 shown in FIG. As described above, the program storage area 302 is an area for reading and storing (developing) part or all of the program data set in advance in the flash memory 44 (FIG. 2).

  The program storage area 302 includes a lock control program 310 for releasing the lock state and executing a function when the lock state is released. Note that the program storage area 302 also includes programs for executing a telephone function, an answering machine function, a mail function, and the like.

Subsequently, a touch buffer 330 is provided in the data storage area 304 of the RAM 46, and touch coordinate map data 332, GUI data 334, GUI coordinate data 336, and notification table data 338 are stored. The data storage area 304 is also provided with a touch flag 340, a lock flag 342, and an operation counter 344.

  The touch buffer 330 stores touch coordinate data output from the touch panel control circuit 48. The touch coordinate map data 332 is data for associating the touch coordinates in the touch operation with the display coordinates on the display 14. That is, the result of the touch operation performed on the touch panel 16 is reflected on the display 14 based on the touch coordinate map data 332.

  The GUI data 334 is data for displaying a GUI such as an image or a character string for displaying the lock object Ob, the scroll bar B, and the notification information N. The GUI coordinate data 336 is data indicating the coordinate position where the above-described GUI is displayed. As shown in FIG. 5, the notification table data 338 is data in which notification information is stored in association with functions corresponding to the notification information.

  The touch flag 340 is a flag for determining whether or not the touch panel 16 is touched. For example, the touch flag 340 is composed of a 1-bit register. When the touch flag 340 is turned on (established), a data value “1” is set in the register. On the other hand, when the touch flag 340 is turned off (not established), a data value “0” is set in the register. The touch flag 340 is switched on / off based on a signal output from the touch panel control circuit 48.

  The lock flag 342 is a flag for indicating whether or not the lock state is set. For example, the lock flag 342 is turned on in accordance with processing for turning off the power of the display 14 and the touch panel 16. Further, the lock flag 342 is turned off in accordance with the processing of the lock control program 310 described above. Since the configuration of the lock flag 342 is substantially the same as that of the touch flag 340, detailed description of the configuration is omitted.

  The operation counter 344 is a counter for measuring a touch operation time. The operation counter 344 starts counting (measurement) when the touch position enters the notification area 72 while being touched. Therefore, the operation counter 344 is sometimes called an operation timer.

  The data storage area 304 stores image data displayed in a standby state, character string data, and the like, and is provided with counters and flags necessary for the operation of the mobile phone 10.

  The processor 30 executes a plurality of tasks including a lock control process shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 in parallel under the control of a Linux (registered trademark) -based OS such as Android (registered trademark) and REX, and other OSs. To process.

  The lock control process is started when the power of the display 14 is turned on while the lock state is set (the lock flag 340 is on).

  In step S1, the processor 30 acquires date and time information from the RTC, reads out the image data of the lock object Ob included in the GUI data 334, and displays the function display area 62 of the display 14 as shown in FIG. Display the lock screen.

Subsequently, in step S3, the processor 30 determines whether there is notification information. That is, it is determined whether notification information is recorded in the notification table data 338. Step S3
If “NO”, that is, if the notification information is not recorded in the notification table data 338, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S3, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, if the notification information is recorded in the notification table, the processor 30 displays the notification information in a step S5. The processor 30 that executes the process of step S5 functions as a display processing unit.

  Subsequently, in step S11 of FIG. 13, it is determined whether or not a touch operation has been performed. That is, it is determined whether the touch flag 340 is turned on and the touch coordinates stored in the touch buffer 330 have been updated. If “NO” in the step S11, for example, if a touch operation is not performed, the process in the step S11 is repeated. If “YES” in the step S11, that is, if a touch operation is performed, the processor 30 determines whether or not the lock object Ob is touched in a step S13. That is, the coordinate range of the lock object Ob is read from the GUI coordinate data 336, and it is determined whether or not touch coordinates indicating the current touch position stored in the touch buffer 330 are included in the coordinate range.

  If “NO” in the step S13, that is, if the touch operation is not performed on the lock object Ob, the processor 30 determines whether or not the scroll operation is performed in a step S15. That is, in the state in which the touch coordinates indicating the current touch position stored in the touch buffer 330 are included in the coordinate range of the scroll bar B included in the GUI coordinate data 336, It is determined whether a touch operation of sliding in the direction is performed.

  If “NO” in the step S15, that is, if the scroll operation is not performed, the process returns to the step S11. If “YES” in the step S15, that is, if a scroll operation is performed, the processor 30 updates the display of the notification information in a step S17, and returns to the step S11. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when a scroll operation is performed to move the scroll bar B downward, notification information that is not displayed is read from the notification table data 338, and as shown in FIG. 8B. Update.

  If the lock object Ob is touched and “YES” is determined in the step S13, the processor 30 determines whether or not the touch position is in the notification area in a step S19. That is, the coordinate range of the notification area 72 is read from the GUI coordinate data 336, and it is determined whether or not the coordinate range that includes the current touch position stored in the touch buffer 330 is included in the coordinate range. If “NO” in the step S19, that is, if the touch position is not included in the notification area 72, the process proceeds to a step S35.

  If “YES” in the step S19, for example, as shown in FIG. 9B, if the current touch position is included in the notification area 72 displaying the notification information N3, the processor 30 determines the time in the step S21. Start measurement. That is, the operation counter 344 starts measuring time. Subsequently, in step S23, the processor 30 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. That is, it is determined whether the predetermined time has been measured by the operation counter 344. If “NO” in the step S23, that is, if the predetermined time is not measured by the operation counter 344, the processor 30 repeats the process of the step S23.

If “YES” in the step S23, the processor 30 displays additional information in the notification area 72 in a step S25 when a predetermined time elapses after the touch position enters the notification area 72. As shown in FIG. 9B, if the touch position is included in the display of the notification information N3, additional information (“What what ...”) corresponding to the notification information N3 is read from the notification table data 338, Additional information is displayed instead of the notification information N3. Step S
The processor 30 that executes the process 25 functions as an additional information display unit.

  Subsequently, in step S <b> 27, it is determined whether or not the touch position has moved out of the notification area 72. That is, it is determined whether or not the coordinate range of the notification area 72 included in the GUI coordinate data 336 includes touch coordinates indicating the current touch position stored in the touch buffer 330. If “YES” in the step S27, for example, when the user's finger goes out of the notification area 72 by a slide, the process returns to the step S19. Further, when returning to step S19, the display of the additional information disappears and the original notification information is displayed.

  On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S27, for example, if it is not out of the notification area 72, the processor 30 determines whether or not it is released in a step S29. That is, it is determined whether or not the touch position is released in a state where it is included in the notification area 72. The processor 30 that executes the process of step S29 functions as a determination unit.

  If “NO” in the step S29, that is, if not released, the processor 30 returns to the step S27. On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S29, that is, if released within the display of the notification information N, the processor 30 turns off the lock flag 342 in a step S31, and performs a function corresponding to the notification information N in a step S33. Run. Then, when the process of step S33 ends, the processor 30 ends the lock control process. For example, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, when released within the display of the notification information N3 for notifying new mail, the mail function is executed in step S33 and the new mail is displayed on the display 14. To do. The processor 30 that executes the processes of steps S31 and S33 functions as an execution unit.

  Here, if “NO” in the step S19, that is, if the touch position is not included in the notification area 72 after touching the lock object Ob, the processor 30 determines whether or not a releasing operation is performed in a step S35. to decide. For example, it is determined whether or not a flick touch operation for flipping the screen out of the screen or a slide touch operation for moving the lock object Ob by a predetermined distance or more is performed on the lock object Ob. If “NO” in the step S35, for example, if a place where nothing is displayed is touched, the processor 30 returns to the step S1 to display the lock screen again. Even if the moving distance of the lock object Ob is less than the predetermined distance or the flick speed is slow, “NO” is determined in step S5, and the lock screen is displayed again. Therefore, the display position of the lock object Ob Returns to its original position. If “YES” in the step S35, that is, if the unlocking operation is performed, the processor 30 turns off the lock flag 340 in a step S37, displays a standby screen in a step S39, and performs a lock control process. Exit. That is, when the release operation is performed, the locked state is released, and a standby screen as shown in FIG. 4C is displayed in the function display area 62 of the display 14.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, since the above processing is executed, the user can easily execute a predetermined function by a touch operation.

  In addition to the mail function, the mobile phone 10 of the present embodiment has a short message service (SMS) function, a first blog function for posting (uploading) and browsing messages, and the number of characters in the message is limited. 2 The blog function can be executed. The mail function, the short message function, the first blog function, and the second blog function may be collectively referred to as “message function”.

For example, when a message is received by the short message service function, the reception time of the new message and the sender name are recorded as notification information in the notification table, and a part of the body of the new message is recorded as additional information. . Also, the new message notification information N displayed on the display 14 includes the reception time and the caller name, similar to the new mail notification information N3. When the touch position is included in the notification information N after touching the lock object Ob, a part of the text of the new message is displayed as additional information, and when released, the locked state is released and the details of the new message are displayed. The short message function is executed as displayed. Thus, in this embodiment, if a message is received by the mail function or the short message function, a reply can be made without releasing the lock state. In another embodiment, the notification information N of the short message service function may include only one of the incoming time and the caller name.

In addition, referring to FIGS. 14A to 14C, when it is received that a new comment has been posted for the posted article, the new comment for the article posted as notification information is displayed in the notification table. The post time and the name of the contributor are recorded, and a part of the new arrival comment is recorded as additional information. In addition, the new comment notification information N4 in the first blog function includes a posting time (15:25) and a poster name (XXX). When the touch position moves within the display of the notification information N4 after touching the lock object Ob, a part of the new comment (Thank
you!) is displayed, and when released, the locked state is released and the first blog function is executed so that a new comment is displayed. In another embodiment, the notification information N of the first blog function may include only one of the posting time and the poster name.

Further, referring to FIGS. 15A to 15C, when the fact that a comment is posted in the second blog function is received, the comment posting time and the poster name are registered as notification information in the notification table. In addition, a part of the comment is recorded as additional information. The comment notification information N5 in the second blog function includes the posting time (15:30) and the name of the poster (Weather News).
And are included. When the lock object Ob is moved into the display area of the notification information N5, a part of the comment (Today's weather) is displayed, and when the finger is released from the lock object Ob, the lock state is released and posted. The second blog function is executed so that the comment is displayed. In another embodiment, the notification information N of the second blog function may include only one of the posting time and the poster name.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the convenience of communication using the first blog function or the second blog function can be improved. And notification information N of various functions can be displayed on the lock screen.

<Second embodiment>
In the second embodiment, the notification information N displayed in the locked state is switched to the secret display. Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described. Since the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the above, a duplicate description will be omitted. By switching the notification information N to secret display, the security of the notification information N displayed on the lock screen can be improved.

  Referring to FIGS. 16A to 16C, when a touch operation (secret operation) that extends from below to above the notification area 72 is performed after the lock object Ob is touched, the secret mode is set. The notification information N is switched to the secret display. For example, when the missed call notification information N2 is switched to the secret display, a character string indicating the missed call notification (for example, “Missed call”) is displayed instead of the name of the other party. In addition, if the notification information is N3 for new mail, the sender name of the new mail is not displayed.

However, in the secret mode, additional information is not displayed even if the touch position enters the display of the notification information N after standing on the lock object Ob. Even when released, the locked state is released and the function corresponding to the notification information N is not executed.

  Note that when the secret operation is performed again in the secret mode, the secret mode is canceled. In another embodiment, in the secret mode, the locked state may be released if a normal release operation is performed. Further, when three or more pieces of notification information are recorded in the notification table, the scroll operation may be processed effectively even in the secret mode.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a part of the lock control process of the second embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 17, the same steps as those in the first embodiment are not shown.

  If “NO” is determined in step S19 of the lock control process, the processor 30 determines whether or not the secret operation is performed in step S51. That is, it is determined whether a secret operation as shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B has been performed. If “NO” in the step S51, that is, if the secret operation is not performed, the process proceeds to a step S35. On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S51, that is, if a secret operation is performed, the processor 30 switches the notification information to a secret display in a step S53. For example, as shown in FIG. 16C, the name of the other party is not included in the notification information N. Subsequently, in step S55, it is determined whether or not a secret release operation is performed. For example, it is determined whether the secret operation has been performed again. If “NO” in the step S55, that is, if the secret release operation is not performed, the processor 30 repeats the process of the step S55.

  On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S55, that is, if a secret release operation is performed, the processor 30 switches the notification information to the normal display in a step S57, and returns to the step S11. For example, the notification information N2 and N3 displayed in secret as shown in FIG. 16C returns to the state shown in FIG.

<Third embodiment>
In the third embodiment, a plurality of pieces of notification information N displayed on the lock screen are classified and displayed by category. In the following, the third embodiment will be described. However, since the third embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the above, a duplicate description will be omitted. By displaying a plurality of notification information N by category, the user can easily find the necessary notification information N.

  18A to 18C, in addition to the date and time display 70 and the plurality of notification information N, a plurality of category icons C are displayed on the lock screen of the third embodiment. The plurality of category icons C include all category icons Ca, telephone category icons Cb, mail category icons Cc, short message category icons Cd, first blog category icons Ce, and second blog category icons Cf. Then, by performing a touch operation on an arbitrary category icon C, the user can classify and display a plurality of pieces of notification information N into categories corresponding to the arbitrary category icon C.

  However, since all notification information N is displayed in the initial state, all category icons Ca are selected.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 18B and 18C, when a touch operation is performed on the telephone category icon Cb, notification information of missed calls and answering machines corresponding to the telephone function is extracted from the notification table, Notification information N1, N2 is displayed in the notification area 72. Further, when a touch operation is performed on the telephone category icon Cb, the display of the telephone category icon Cb is reversed. That is, it can be seen that a plurality of pieces of notification information are classified corresponding to the telephone function.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a part of the lock control process of the third embodiment. However, in the flowchart of FIG. 19, the same steps as those in the first embodiment are not shown.

  If “NO” in the step S15 of the lock control process, that is, if the scroll operation is not performed, the processor 30 determines whether or not the category icon C is touched in a step S61. For example, as shown in FIG. 18B, it is determined whether a touch operation has been performed on the category icon C. If “NO” in the step S61, that is, if the touch operation is not performed on the category icon C, the process returns to the step S11. On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S61, for example, when a touch operation is performed on the telephone category icon Cb, the processor 30 displays the notification information N by category in a step S63, and the process returns to the step S11. That is, when a touch operation is performed on the telephone category icon Cb, notification information of missed calls and answering machines is extracted from the notification table, and the extracted notification information is displayed in the notification area 72.

  In the third embodiment, when the category icon C corresponding to the function is selected by the lock object Ob after being released after being touched on the lock object Ob, the locked state is released and the selected category is displayed. A function corresponding to the icon C may be executed.

<Fourth embodiment>
In the fourth embodiment, instead of the notification information N displayed in the notification area 72, a task icon Ta is displayed on the display 14 as notification information. In the following, the fourth embodiment will be described, but except for the above, the fourth embodiment is the same as the first embodiment, and a duplicate description will be omitted.

  Referring to FIG. 20A, a mail function task icon Ta is displayed on the display 14. This task icon Ta is displayed in the status display area 60 when the mobile phone 10 receives a new mail, for example. Then, referring to FIGS. 20B and 20C, when the lock state is set, the user performs a touch operation on the lock object Ob, and selects the mail function task icon Ta by the lock object Ob. If the finger is released after this, a list of received mails including new mails is displayed in the function display area 62. As described above, the user can use the task icon Ta also used in the conventional mobile phone to release the lock state and execute the function related to the task icon Ta.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 20B, when the task icon Ta is selected by the lock object Ob, the display of the task icon Ta is enlarged in order to clarify that the task icon Ta is selected.

  In another embodiment, a task icon Ta indicating a missed call of the telephone function may be displayed in the status display area 60. For example, when the above-described operation is performed on the task icon Ta corresponding to the missed call of the telephone function and the telephone function is executed, an incoming call history including the missed call is displayed in the function display area 62.

  It should be noted that the first to fourth embodiments can be arbitrarily combined, and a specific combination can be easily imagined, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

In another embodiment, a security setting may be made in which a security screen that prompts the user to enter a password is displayed when the unlocking operation is performed. For example, when a release operation is performed on the lock object Ob, the security screen shown in FIG. When a correct password is entered on the security screen, a standby screen shown in FIG. However, if an incorrect password is entered, the password must be entered again.

  Referring to FIG. 22, when the security setting is performed, when lock flag 342 is turned off in step S37 of the lock control process, processor 30 determines whether or not the security setting is performed in step S71. . That is, it is determined whether the flag corresponding to the security setting is on. If “NO” in the step S71, that is, if the security setting is not set, the processor 30 proceeds to a step S39 to display a standby screen. On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S71, that is, if the security setting is made, the processor 30 displays a security screen in a step S73, and determines whether or not the password is correct in a step S75. That is, the security screen shown in FIG. 21 is displayed on the display 14, and it is determined whether the password input on the screen is correct. If “NO” in the step S75, that is, if the input password is incorrect, the processor 30 returns to the step S73. On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S75, that is, if the inputted password is correct, the processor 30 displays a standby screen in a step S39. When the security setting is made, the above-described security screen is displayed even after the lock object Ob is released in a state where the display area of the notification information N is included. Therefore, in the lock control process of another embodiment, steps similar to steps S71 to S75 are added between step S31 and step S33.

  In another embodiment, the notification information N may be displayed when the user performs an operation on the mobile phone 10. For example, when an operation for turning on the power of the display 14 is performed, the notification information N is not displayed on the display 14 at this point even if the notification information is recorded in the notification table. If the user operates the menu key 26, the notification information recorded in the notification table is displayed on the display 14.

  Further, in order to prevent the display content of the notification information N from being hidden by the lock object Ob, the lock object Ob that has moved into the display area of the notification information N may be reduced. Further, if the lock object Ob moves within the display area of the notification information N, the notification information N may be enlarged and displayed.

  Further, when an incoming call occurs when the touch operation is performed on the lock object Ob, the display of the lock object Ob is erased and a call incoming response screen is displayed. The incoming call response screen includes an incoming call response object for releasing the lock state and responding to an incoming call. Then, when an operation similar to the release operation for the lock object Ob is performed on the incoming call response object, a call is started.

  The function for recording the notification information may include a music player function and the like. For example, the notification information of the music player function includes a song title and a playback time of music that is played in a locked state, and the additional information includes artist information, a jacket image, and the like.

  In another embodiment, a function corresponding to SNS (Social Network Service) such as Facebook (registered trademark) or Mixi (registered trademark) may be included in the function of recording the notification information. In this case, the notification information N corresponding to the first blog function and the second blog function described above is displayed on the lock screen as the notification information of the function.

The program used in this embodiment may be stored in the HDD of the data distribution server and distributed to the mobile phone 10 via the network. Further, the storage medium may be sold or distributed in a state where a plurality of programs are stored in a storage medium such as an optical disk such as a CD, a DVD, or a BD (Blue-Ray Disk), a USB memory, and a memory card. When the program downloaded through the above-described server or storage medium is installed in a portable terminal having the same configuration as that of this embodiment, the same effect as that of this embodiment can be obtained.

  The specific numerical values given in this specification are merely examples, and can be appropriately changed according to a change in product specifications.
