[User registration processing by device linkage]
Next, user registration processing by cooperation between the communication device 10 and the electric device 20 (and the peripheral device 30) will be described.

  The user registration application 104a is installed in the communication device 10 from a recording medium bundled with the electric device 20, or is downloaded and installed in the communication device 10 from a dedicated site. FIG. 2 shows an activation process flow executed when the user registration application 104a is activated. The activation process flow shown in FIG. 2 is started when the user registration application 104a is activated.

  The following shows the contents described in the setting saving file of the user registration application 104a. As described below, the setting storage file is a file that is read when the user registration application 104a is activated. In the setting storage file, items [User registration] and [Registration request] are prepared.

[Setting save file]

[User registration]
K-3 = xxxxxxxxxxxx, 1
GR = xxxxxxxxxxx, 1
TEATA = xxxxxxxxxxxx, 1
HD PENTAX-DA 20-40mmF2.8-4ED Limited DC WR = xxxxxxx, 1
AF540FGZ2 = xxxxxxxxxxx, 1
O-GPS1 = xxxxxxxxx, 1

[Registration request]
Flag = 0

  [User registration] of the setting storage file has information on the product name, serial number (for convenience, “xxxxxxxxxxxx”), and registration flag of each device such as the electric device 20 and the peripheral device 30. The registration flag of [User registration] indicates whether or not the device has been registered as a user. The product name and serial number of [User registration] are acquired in the process of executing the user registration mode described later, and the registration flag of [User registration] is set to “1” when the user registration is completed by executing the registration mode. Is done. Each information of [User registration] may be displayed on the main screen of the user registration application 104a. [Registration request] in the configuration save file is information (automatic display flag) that determines whether or not to automatically display the user registration screen at a predetermined timing, for example, when a new device (unpaired device) is detected. )have. The automatic display flag of [Registration request] is set to “0” or “1” through the operation of the operation unit 110 by the user.

  The setting saving file of the user registration application 104 a is stored in the nonvolatile memory 104 of the communication device 10. However, for example, when the model of the communication device 10 is changed, there is a possibility that the information of the setting storage file is lost. For this reason, the master data of the setting storage file may be stored in a predetermined Web server (for example, a Web server provided by a manufacturer). In this case, the setting storage file in the nonvolatile memory 104 is periodically synchronized with the master data on the Web server.

[S11 in FIG. 2 (Determination of Automatic Display Flag of [Registration request])]
In this processing step S11, the automatic display flag of [Registration request] of the setting save file is determined. When the automatic display flag of [Registration request] is determined to be “0” (S11: automatic display flag = 0), the process proceeds to processing step S12 (determination of whether or not [User registration] is described). If it is determined that the automatic display flag of [Registration request] is “1” (S11: automatic display flag = 1), this flow ends and the main screen of the user registration application 104a is displayed on the display unit of the communication device 10. 112 is displayed.

[S12 in FIG. 2 (determining whether [User registration] is described)]
In this processing step S12, it is determined whether or not there is a description of [User registration] in the setting storage file. When a set of at least one product name and serial number is described in [User registration] (S12: described), the process proceeds to processing step S13 (determination of registration flag of [User registration]). If no set of product name and serial number is described in [User registration] and a new device is detected by Bluetooth (registered trademark), for example (S12: NULL), processing step S14 ( Proceed to execution of user registration mode. If a new device is detected, the process may proceed to step S14 (execution of user registration mode) regardless of whether or not [User registration] is described in the setting save file.

[S13 in FIG. 2 (determination of registration flag of [User registration])]
In this process step S13, the registration flag of the device described in [User registration] is determined. If the registration flag of [User registration] is determined to be “0” for a certain device (S13: Registration flag = 0), processing step S14 (execution of user registration mode) to perform user registration with the manufacturer for that device. Proceed to When the registration flag of [User registration] is determined to be “1”, the same determination is performed for the registration flag of the next device described in [User registration]. If the registration flag of all the devices described in [User registration] is “1” (S13: all registration flags = 1), the user to the maker for all the devices described in the setting save file Registration is already in progress. Therefore, this flow is finished, and the main screen of the user registration application 104a is displayed on the display unit 112 of the communication device 10.

[S14 in FIG. 2 (execution of user registration mode)]
In this processing step S14, the user registration mode is executed. FIG. 3 shows a sequence of user registration processing by cooperation between devices executed after transition to the user registration mode. NFC is used to execute the user registration process by cooperation between devices. The role of NFC is to perform pairing between devices simply by proximity wireless communication, and take over (hand over) the communication between devices after pairing to another standard such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (registered trademark). is there. In the present embodiment, the user registration process by inter-device cooperation is executed using NFC that has played such a limited role.

  The communication mode between the communication device 10 and the electric device 20 by NFC includes, for example, an RF communication mode, a tunnel communication mode, and a serial communication mode. In the RF communication mode, the communication module 108 (NFC tag) of the communication device 10 and the communication module 208 (NFC tag or RF tag) of the electric device 20 communicate with each other. In the tunnel communication mode, the communication module 108 (NFC tag) and the electric device CPU 202 communicate directly through the communication mode 208 (NFC tag or RF tag) of the electric device 20. In the serial communication mode, the electric device CPU 202 and the communication module 208 (NFC tag or RF tag) perform serial communication in the electric device 20. The user registration process shown in FIG. 3 is a sequence example using the tunnel communication mode.

  In the activation process flow shown in FIG. 2, the example in which the mode of the user registration application 104a transitions to the user registration mode according to the description content of the setting save file has been described. However, the transition example to the user registration mode is not limited to this. For example, the transition to the user registration mode may be performed when the communication device 10 and the electric device 20 are paired by NFC while the user registration application 104a is activated. Further, transition to the user registration mode may be performed in accordance with a predetermined operation on the main screen of the user registration application 104a.

  After the transition to the user registration mode, as shown in FIG. 3, the communication module 108 (NFC tag) of the communication device 10 and the communication module 208 (NFC tag or RF tag) of the electric device 20 are brought closer (for example, the communication device 10 (Processing step S21), the communication module 208 (NFC tag or RF tag) detects the induced magnetic field and issues a magnetic field detection IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest) to the electric device CPU 202 (processing). Step S22). The electric device CPU 202 that has received the magnetic field detection IRQ requests a request from the communication module 208 (NFC tag or RF tag) (processing step S23). Further, after issuing the magnetic field detection IRQ, the communication module 208 (NFC tag or RF tag) waits for polling by the communication device 10 (processing step S24).

  The communication device CPU 102 (user registration application 104a) establishes a close proximity wireless connection in the tunnel communication mode with the electric device CPU 202 (processing step S25) and issues an acquisition request for the product name and serial number to the electric device CPU 202. (Processing steps S26 and S27). The electric device CPU 202 prepares the product name and serial number of itself (electric device 20) in response to the acquisition request received from the communication device CPU 102 (processing step S28). The electric device CPU 202 returns a response in which the product name and serial number of the electric device 20 are embedded to the communication device CPU 102 (processing steps S29 and S30).

  When the peripheral device 30 is connected to the electrical device 20, the electrical device CPU 202 transmits an acquisition request received from the communication device CPU 102 (user registration application 104 a) to the peripheral device CPU 302. The peripheral device CPU 302 returns a response in which the product name and serial number of itself (peripheral device 30) are embedded in response to the acquisition request received from the electric device 20CPU 202 (processing steps S28a and S28b). The electrical device CPU 202 returns a response in which the product name and serial number of the peripheral device 30 are embedded in addition to the response in which the product name and serial number of the electrical device 20 are embedded (processing steps S29 and S30). When the acquisition request issued in processing step S26 is for the peripheral device 30, only the response in which the product name and serial number of the peripheral device 30 are embedded is returned to the communication device CPU 102 (processing steps S29, S30). ).

  After processing step S30, communication between the communication device 10 and the electric device 20 is handed over to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (registered trademark) via pairing.

  The communication device CPU 102 (user registration application 104a) stores the product name and serial number embedded in the response in the nonvolatile memory 104 (processing step S31) and updates the setting storage file based on these information (processing) Step S32). That is, the communication device CPU 102 writes the acquired product name and serial number of the device in [User registration] of the setting storage file. Further, the communication device CPU 102, for example, accesses a user profile or the like registered in advance in the communication device 10 and collects user information (name, address, telephone number, mail address, etc.) of the communication device 10 (processing step S33). .

  The communication device CPU 102 (the user registration application 104a) displays the user registration form on the display unit 112 (processing step S34), and displays the product name and the acquired device in each text field of the displayed user registration form. Corresponding information is pasted from the serial number and the collected user information (processing step S35).

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a user registration form in which each information is pasted. In the example of the user registration form in FIG. 4, the acquired device information is pasted in the “product name” and “serial number” fields, and “name”, “place”, “phone”, and “e-mail” are pasted. The information collected in the communication device 10 is pasted in the field "." Note that a plurality of sets of “product name” and “serial number” fields may be arranged in order to enable user registration for a plurality of devices at once. In this case, for example, information of each device (for example, both the electric device 20 and the peripheral device 30) acquired by the current communication is pasted in each field. The information in each field can be edited through the operation of the operation unit 10 by the user. Therefore, the user can correct the information in each field as necessary.

  In the example of the user registration form in FIG. 4, an item asking whether to answer a questionnaire is embedded. When the “Next” button is selected and operated with “Yes” selected, the communication device CPU 102 (the user registration application 104 a) displays a questionnaire screen on the display unit 112. When the “next” button is selected after completion of the questionnaire response or when “No” is selected in FIG. 4, the communication device CPU 102 displays a content confirmation screen on the display unit 112. On the content confirmation screen, a “register user” button is arranged. When the “register user” button is selected and operated, the communication device CPU 102 uses the LTE line or 3G line to input the information input in each field of the user registration form (and the information if there is a response to a questionnaire). And uploading to a predetermined Web server (user registration server provided by the manufacturer) on the Internet (processing step S36). This completes user registration of the device with the manufacturer. The URL of the Web server that is the upload destination is stored in advance in the user registration application 104a.

  When the communication device CPU 102 (the user registration application 104a) uploads the information input in each field of the user registration form, the product name and serial number written in [User registration] of the setting storage file in the processing step S32. Set the registration flag to “1”. As a result, the setting storage file is handled as having completed user registration with the manufacturer for the device. Also, consider a case where a “cancel” button arranged on the user registration form in FIG. 4 is selected and operated. In this case, it is considered that the user does not desire user registration of the device at least at the present time. The registration flag of the product name and serial number of the device may be set to “0” so that the user registration mode is executed for the device at the next activation of the user registration application 104a. The registration flag of the product name and serial number of the device may be set to “1” so that automatic transition to the user registration mode based on the description content of the setting save file is not performed for the device.

  According to the unique information transmission system 1 of the present embodiment, the user can perform user registration with respect to the manufacturer with respect to the device only by a simple operation on the communication device 10 (for example, about one to three screen tap operations). , There is no need to perform time-consuming work such as entry and posting of postcards and input of various information on the Web site. Such a reduction in user registration work load is considered to contribute to an increase in the registration rate of user registration. The manufacturer can collect more user usage statuses and the like as the registration rate of user registration increases. For example, the manufacturer can create firmware update data with reference to the collected information and provide it to the user, or reflect the collected information in the next product development. In addition to providing the latest version of firmware, the user can receive, for example, campaign notifications, new models, peripheral equipment guidance, etc. in a timely manner.

  The above is the description of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Embodiments of the present invention are not limited to those described above, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. For example, the embodiment of the present application also includes an embodiment that is exemplarily specified in the specification or a combination of obvious embodiments and the like as appropriate.

  For example, in this embodiment, the user registration application 104a installed in the communication device 10 holds the user registration form (information on items necessary for user registration) and the URL of the user registration server. In the embodiment, the electric device 20 and the peripheral device 30 may hold various information such as information on items necessary for user registration and a URL of a user registration server. In this case, the electric device 20 and the peripheral device 30 communicate with the communication device 10 and pass the above various information to the communication device 10. The communication device 10 executes the processing exemplified in FIG. 3 (processing steps S33 to S36) using the above-described various information passed from the electric device 20 and the peripheral device 30.
