Is done.

The SNS server 30 is a server device to which posted comments called tweets, tweets, etc. are posted from each terminal device in SNS (Social Networking Service) such as Twitter (registered trademark) and facebook (registered trademark). Since the SNS server 30 is a conventionally known server device, the detailed configuration is omitted.

  Twitter has a follow function between users as a function of the SNS server 30. The comments posted to the SNS server 30 are only displayed for those of the other user that the user of the terminal device is following. The user can follow the SNS server 30 by executing a predetermined operation procedure to select and register a partner to follow. A user uses a follow function when he wants to selectively display a comment posted by a specific user among other users.

  The user to be followed can freely select, and only follow the person for whom he / she wants to display a comment. For example, if a user who has the same preference or a user who is a friend follows the TV program to be viewed, it is possible to easily see the posted comments of friends and acquaintance users.

  If you and the person you are following are watching the same TV program, even if you simply display the post comments of each user you are following, the post comments for the same program as the TV program you are watching are displayed for each user. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy watching a television program while watching a comment posted by each user for one television program.

  In twitter, the other user who follows him is called a follower. It ’s difficult to see if a follower is watching the same TV show you ’re watching, so let your followers know which TV show you ’re watching and watch the same TV show By urging the user to view the same television program, the possibility of posting a comment on the television program is increased.

  In fact, if followers are encouraged to watch the same TV program, they can easily watch and enjoy the comments posted by friends and acquaintance users while watching the same TV program. It becomes.

  In the present invention, the mobile terminal device 10 out of the two mobile terminal devices 10 and 20 is used as a transmission-side terminal device 10 (mobile terminal transmission device) that transmits guidance information for encouraging viewing of a TV program. 20 is described as a receiving side terminal device 20 (mobile terminal receiving device) that receives guidance information. The two portable terminal devices 10 and 20 can transmit and receive guidance information with each other and have the same configuration. However, in order to make the explanation easy to understand, the transmitting terminal device 10 and the receiving terminal device It is distinguished from 20.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an operation procedure and a display screen of the transmission side terminal device 10. Note that the mobile terminal device of the present invention is configured to be able to execute various applications. In the example shown below, a so-called TV remote controller that remotely controls the TV 3 by operating the first wireless unit 14a. In the application, a comment posting function and a browsing function using the SNS server 30 can also be executed.

  In addition, when executing this application, the user logs in to the SNS in advance or during execution of this application before the execution of this application. Login is performed by a known procedure, and a user name and a password registered in advance in SNS are input.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, icons of various applications are displayed on the home screen displayed on the display unit 11 of the transmission side terminal device 10, and an icon 21 corresponding to the application is tapped from among the icons. Then, this application starts.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, a screen for selecting the model of the television is displayed. Select the manufacturer and type of TV to be operated by the remote control. Since the remote control code for remote control is different for each TV model, this application can control only the TV selected here. The remote control code is incorporated in advance in the application, and when a model is selected by a user tap or the like from the models displayed in the model display area 22, the selected model is stored in the storage unit 16, and FIG. Transition to the area setting screen shown in (c). Note that the TV model may be selected later according to a setting mode that is changed by a specific operation (for example, pressing a hardware key of the mobile terminal device) from any screen of the application.

  On the region setting screen, the user selects the television viewing region of the user who uses the transmission side terminal device 10. The viewing area can be selected, for example, by the prefecture name displayed in the area display area 23. When a viewing area is selected, information about a broadcasting station in the viewing area is acquired from the program information server 40, and a transition is made to the main screen of this application. The broadcast station name of the acquisition result is reflected and displayed on the main screen. The viewing area may be selected later depending on the setting mode of this application.

  If the setting for the TV model and the setting for the viewing area are set at the first activation of the application, the setting contents are stored in the storage unit 16, and are not essential for the second and subsequent activations.

  FIG. 3D shows the main screen of this application. On the main screen, a plurality of lines assigned to each broadcasting station are displayed, and the channel number 24 and the broadcasting station name 25 of the broadcasting station are displayed on each line.

  When the displayed channel number 24 is tapped, a command signal for selecting a broadcasting station in the corresponding row is transmitted to the television 3. Finally, the station that has tapped channel number 24 is recognized as the broadcast station currently being viewed by the user of transmitting terminal device 10, and channel number 24 is highlighted (changes color, blinks, or displays a frame). Etc.), and a “button for inviting friends” 26 is displayed on the same line.

  In addition, when there is a user who has posted a comment related to the broadcast station displayed on the main screen, the user's icon in the SNS is acquired from the SNS server 30 so that the user can be understood, and To display. The fact that there was a user who posted a comment related to the broadcasting station is that the posted comment acquired from the SNS server 30 includes a character string indicating the broadcasting station name or a hash tag of the broadcasting station, and posted the posted comment This can be recognized when the user is a friend registered in advance. The posted comments acquired from the SNS server 30 are not limited to posted comments transmitted by the transmission function of the present application, but also include posted comments transmitted by other applications. As a result, it is possible to easily know which broadcast station has many friends watching.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, two icons 27 indicating the user are displayed, and among users such as friends, the user indicated by each icon 27 has posted a comment related to the corresponding broadcast station. I understand that. When the same user posts a comment multiple times, an icon is displayed only in the broadcast station row for the last posted comment.

  Also, if the comment is posted 30 minutes to 1 hour before the current time, the time has passed since the posting, so the possibility that the broadcast program of the corresponding broadcast station is still being watched is reduced. Therefore, for example, the icon 27 is displayed in gray. Further, when the comment is posted one hour or more before the current time, the icon 27 is hidden. If the icon 27 is not displayed in the row of the broadcast station, a user such as a friend has not posted a comment on the broadcast program of the broadcast station, or even if it has been posted, it is a post that is more than one hour ago. It turns out that there is a high possibility that they are not watching.

  Since the size of the main screen is limited, it is preferable to set the number of icons 27 indicating the user in advance. In this example, a maximum of two icons 27 can be displayed. When many users such as friends are registered, naturally there is a high possibility that two or more users have posted comments. In such a case, an icon 27 indicating one user whose posting time is the latest and an icon 28 indicating how many other users are posting comments regarding the broadcasting station may be displayed.

  A feature of the present invention is that the “button for inviting friends” 26 is displayed on the main screen. When the user taps this “invite friend” button 26, the screen transitions to a posting screen (FIG. 3 (e)) for posting a comment urging the user to view the broadcast station currently being viewed.

  When transitioning to the posting screen, the comment contents are automatically created by embedding the broadcast station name and the broadcast station hash tag with the channel number selected in the standard comment contents created in advance. Is displayed in the comment display area 29 of the posting screen. The comment content may include, for example, a URL for downloading the application. A user who prompts viewing of a broadcast station does not necessarily use the application, and may prompt viewing and display the download destination of the application and prompt the user to download the application.

The destination to which the comment for encouraging viewing of the broadcast station is a user such as a friend, but it is possible to select whether all users such as friends are to be addressed or individual users are to be addressed. When the destination input area 31 is tapped, a destination input screen shown in FIG. The destinations that can be entered are all users such as friends, or individual users. In the address selection area 32 of the address input screen, “all friends” addressed to all users such as friends and “user name” of each user are displayed. By tapping any of them, the user of the address is input. The
In Twitter, when a specific user is the destination, a user ID can be posted after inserting “@” at the beginning of the comment body to post it as a comment addressed to the user indicated by the user ID. In addition, when all the friends are addressed, a comment that can be viewed by all followers can be posted by not including the above description in the comment body.

  In addition, when a specific user is a destination, posting may be performed by a method called a direct message. By inserting the user ID after “d” at the beginning of the comment body, it becomes a direct message and can be posted to the user indicated by the user ID. When “@” is used, a user other than the destination user can also refer to the comment. However, when using the direct message, a user other than the destination user cannot refer to the comment.

  Further, when there are many user names displayed in the destination selection area 32, the user names can be displayed by scroll display or the like, but it is preferable to change the display order by sorting. When the sort selection area 33 on the destination input screen is tapped, each sort method is displayed in a pull-down menu. For example, when the transmission / reception history is selected, in the destination selection area 32, the number of times the post comment is selected as the destination of the post comment by the operation of the “invite friend” button 26 and the post comment by the operation of the “button to invite a friend” 26 A user having a higher sum of the number of times of selection as a destination is displayed higher in the destination selection area 32. When the posting history is selected, the higher the number of comments posted to the SNS, the higher it is displayed. When the favorite is selected, the users registered in the favorite are displayed at the top. Here, with regard to favorite registration, when a user name displayed in the destination selection area 32 is long tapped, a favorite registration screen is displayed so that it can be registered as a favorite.

  When “all friends” or any one of the user names is selected in the destination selection area 32, the posting screen is displayed, and comments can be posted.

  When the user confirms the comment content, inputs the comment destination, and transmits the send button 34, the comment information includes the comment content, the destination user name, and the user name of the user who posts the comment. Then, the user of the transmitting terminal device 10 transmits to the SNS server device 30 post comment information that prompts a user such as a friend to view the broadcasting station that the user is viewing.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an operation procedure and a display screen of the receiving terminal device 20. As described above, the reception-side terminal device 20 has a function equivalent to that of the transmission-side terminal device 10 and is configured to be able to execute this application in the same manner as the transmission-side terminal device 10.

  Below, when the receiving terminal device 20 is in the locked state, a case where posted comment information that prompts viewing is transmitted from the transmitting terminal device 10 to the SNS server 30 will be described.

  Even when the receiving-side terminal device 20 is in a locked state, this application can periodically access the SNS server 30 and acquire posted comment information. For example, it is searched from the SNS server 30 whether or not a comment addressed to all of the friends is posted from a user such as a friend, and if there is a corresponding comment, it is acquired.

  When the posted comment information urging viewing is transmitted from the transmitting terminal device 10 to the SNS server 30, the receiving terminal device 20 uses the receiving terminal device 20 based on the destination user name of the posted comment information. The corresponding post comment information is acquired from the SNS server 30 as post comment information addressed to the user. When the posted comment information that prompts viewing is acquired, the icon indicating the application, the user name of the user of the transmission-side terminal device 10, and the content of the posted comment that prompts viewing are displayed in the message display area of the lock screen illustrated in FIG. 35.

  The lock screen is a screen generated by the OS or the like of the mobile terminal device, and is displayed when a certain time elapses without the mobile terminal device being operated. The contents of the message display area 35 can be displayed by giving an instruction to the OS from an application installed in the mobile terminal device.

  When the user of the receiving terminal device 20 reads the message displayed in the message display area 35 and performs an operation such as tapping or swiping on the message display area 35, the application is activated.

  When this application is activated, an operation confirmation screen shown in FIG. 4B is displayed before the main screen is displayed. Here, the user of the receiving terminal device 20 can select and input what kind of operation is performed in response to the prompt from the user of the transmitting terminal device 10. On the operation confirmation screen, the user name of the user who encourages viewing and the content of the posted comment that encourages viewing are displayed. Viewing the displayed user name and posted comment content, the user of the receiving terminal device 20 selects a desired operation from the following operations.

  When the user wants to watch a television program of a broadcasting station that is prompted to watch and the power of the television 4 is off, the “TV is turned on and the channel is changed” button 36 is tapped. Thereby, the command signal for turning on the power of the television 4 and the command signal for changing to the channel of the corresponding broadcasting station are transmitted from the receiving side terminal device 20 to the television 4. Receiving these command signals, the television 4 turns on the power, changes to the channel of the corresponding broadcasting station, and displays the television program being broadcast.

  When the user wants to watch a television program of a broadcast station that is urged to watch and the television 4 is powered on, the “change channel” button 37 is tapped. Thereby, the command signal for changing to the channel of the corresponding broadcasting station is transmitted from the receiving side terminal device 20 to the television 4. The television 4 receiving this command signal changes to the channel of the corresponding broadcast station and displays the television program being broadcast.

  The above is a case where one-way communication is performed from the first wireless unit 14a of the receiving side terminal 20 to the television 4, but when performing two-way communication, the "TV is turned on and channel change" button 36 is omitted. Only the “change channel” button 37 may be displayed. In this case, when the “change channel” button 37 is tapped, the receiving side terminal 20 acquires the current power state from the television 4, and when the power is off, a command signal for turning on the power, When a command signal for changing the channel is transmitted and the power is ON, only the command signal for changing the channel is transmitted.

  Immediately, when it is not necessary to view the TV program of the broadcast station that is prompted to view, if the user wants to use this application, the “activate application” button 38 is tapped. Thereby, without starting a command signal with respect to the television 4, starting of this application is continued and it changes to the main screen shown in FIG.4 (c).

  When there is no need to watch a TV program of a broadcast station that is urged to be viewed and it is not necessary to activate this application, the “do nothing” button 39 is tapped. As a result, the command signal is not transmitted to the television 4, the application is not activated, and the lock state is restored and the lock screen is displayed. In this case, since the operation confirmation screen is displayed once and any operation is selected, no message is displayed on the lock screen.

  The configuration of the main screen shown in FIG. 4C is the same as that of the main screen shown in FIG. On the main screen, an icon 27 indicating the user who has transmitted the posted comment information that prompts the broadcast station to watch is highlighted. When the main screen is displayed by tapping the "TV on and change channel" button 36 or the "change channel" button 37, the channel number 24 of the broadcast station that is prompted to watch is selected The main screen is displayed.
