  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims. In addition, not all the combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential for the solving means of the invention.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows an example of a communication environment of the communication terminal 100. The communication terminal 100 is a mobile phone for children, for example. The communication terminal 100 may be any terminal as long as it has a communication function. For example, the communication terminal 100 may be a general mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a PC (Personal Computer), or the like that is not intended for children. Here, a case where the communication terminal 100 is a mobile phone for children will be mainly described as an example.

  The communication terminal 100 has a function of transmitting mail. The communication terminal 100 transmits mail via the network 10. The network 10 includes, for example, the Internet and a telephone network. The communication terminal 100 may send mail to an arbitrary destination. The communication terminal 100 transmits an e-mail addressed to, for example, the e-mail address of the mother 30 of the user 20, the e-mail address of the dad 40, the e-mail address of the grandma 50, and the e-mail address of the grandpa 60.

  The communication terminal 100 may transmit an email created by the user 20. The mail created by the user 20 may be a mail created by the user 20 using an input device included in the communication terminal 100. The communication terminal 100 may transmit an email created by the user 20 of the communication terminal 100 to a destination designated by the user 20.

  The communication terminal 100 may transmit an email in response to a predetermined condition being satisfied. The communication terminal 100 may transmit a mail to a predetermined destination in response to the predetermined condition being satisfied. The predetermined destinations are, for example, the mail address of the mother 30, the mail address of the dad 40, the mail address of the grandma 50, and the mail address of the grandpa 60.

  For example, the communication terminal 100 transmits an email in response to a condition for notifying the occurrence of an emergency situation being satisfied. As one specific example, the communication terminal 100 transmits an email in response to accepting an operation on the operation unit operated by the user 20 when an emergency situation occurs. As one specific example, the communication terminal 100 transmits an email in response to detecting that the communication terminal 100 has moved at a speed faster than a predetermined speed.

  Further, the communication terminal 100 transmits an email in response to a condition other than the condition for notifying the occurrence of an emergency situation being satisfied. As one specific example, the communication terminal 100 transmits a mail including the position information of the communication terminal 100 when a condition for transmitting the position information of the communication terminal 100 is satisfied. For example, the communication terminal 100 periodically transmits position information of the communication terminal 100 to a predetermined destination.

  As one specific example, the communication terminal 100 receives a setting change instruction for changing the setting of the communication terminal 100 from the outside, and transmits an email in response to the setting change being performed according to the setting change instruction. For example, the communication terminal 100 receives a setting change instruction from the management server 300. The management server 300 may transmit a setting change instruction to the communication terminal 100 in accordance with an instruction from a communication apparatus registered as a management apparatus of the communication terminal 100. The communication device may be any device as long as it has a communication function, such as a mobile phone such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, and a PC. A plurality of communication devices may be registered as management devices of the communication terminal 100. For example, at least one of the mobile phone 200 of the mother 30, the mobile phone 200 of the dad 40, the mobile phone 200 of the grandma 50, and the mobile phone of the grandpa 60 is registered as the management device.

  The communication terminal 100 stores the created mail in the transmission buffer. The communication terminal 100 transmits the mail stored in the transmission buffer. A conventional communication terminal transmits mail stored in a transmission buffer according to the stored order.

  FIG. 2 schematically shows an example of mail stored in the transmission buffer. FIG. 2 shows that an e-mail addressed to grandfather 40 including position information, an e-mail addressed to mother 30 including position information, an e-mail addressed to grandma 50 including position information, an e-mail addressed to grandpa including position information, and that the setting change has been completed. Sending buffer for the mail addressed to the dad 40, the mail addressed to the mom 30 notifying the completion of the setting change, the mail addressed to the dad 40 created by the user 20, and the mail addressed to the mom 30 created by the user 20. The case where it stores in is illustrated.

  When there are a plurality of mail destinations, a plurality of mails may stay in the transmission buffer in this way. Further, for example, mail created while the communication terminal 100 is outside the communication range may stay in the transmission buffer. According to the conventional communication terminal, since mails are transmitted in the order stored in the transmission buffer, in the example shown in FIG. 2, transmission of mails created by the user 20 is delayed. As a result, when the user 20 tries to create and send a mail such as a rescue request in an emergency, the mail 20 may be postponed by another mail and may take time.

  On the other hand, the communication terminal 100 according to the present embodiment transmits the mail created by the user 20 with priority over the mail created when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, when the transmission buffer is in the state shown in FIG. 2, the communication terminal 100 sends an email addressed to the dad 40 created by the user 20 and an email addressed to the mother 30 created by the user 20 from other emails. Also send first. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a mail such as a rescue request created by the user 20 from being postponed.

  FIG. 3 schematically shows an example of the functional configuration of the communication terminal 100.

For example, the input receiving unit 102 receives a mail transmission instruction. The mail creation unit 104 creates a mail according to the input of the user 20.

  The storage processing unit 106 stores the mail created by the mail creation unit 104 in the transmission buffer 108. The storage processing unit 106 may be an example of a first storage processing unit.

  The change instruction receiving unit 112 receives a setting change instruction for changing the setting of the communication terminal 100. For example, the change instruction receiving unit 112 receives a setting change instruction from the management server 300. The setting change execution unit 114 executes the setting change according to the setting change instruction received by the change instruction receiving unit 112. The setting change may be an arbitrary setting change such as a phone book change, a volume change, and a wallpaper change.

  The mail creating unit 116 creates a mail when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The mail creation unit 116 may create a mail for a predetermined destination when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The mail creation unit 116 may create a mail including predetermined contents for transmission. Further, the mail creation unit 116 may create a mail including newly generated content.

  The mail creation unit 116 may create a mail in response to the completion of the setting change by the setting change execution unit 114. The email may be an example of a second type of email.

  The operation unit 118 receives an operation of the user 20. The operation unit 118 may be a so-called pull switch. For example, the operation unit 118 is a switch that operates by pulling a strap of the communication terminal 100. The operation unit 118 may be a so-called emergency button, for example. The mail creation unit 116 may create a mail in response to receiving an operation on the operation unit 118. The mail may be an example of the first type of mail.

  The position information acquisition unit 120 acquires position information of the communication terminal 100. The position information acquisition unit 120 may acquire the position information of the communication terminal 100 using any method. For example, the position information acquisition unit 120 receives latitude / longitude information of the communication terminal 100 from a GPS (Global Positioning System). For example, the position information acquisition unit 120 acquires the position information of the communication terminal 100 from a WiFi access point.

  The position information acquisition unit 120 may acquire the position information of the communication terminal 100 when a condition for transmitting the position information is satisfied. For example, the location information acquisition unit 120 acquires location information of the communication terminal 100 in response to receiving a location information request from the management device. In addition, for example, the position information acquisition unit 120 periodically acquires position information according to a predetermined timing. The mail creation unit 116 may create a mail including the location information of the communication terminal 100 acquired by the location information acquisition unit 120 when the condition for transmitting the location information is satisfied. The email may be an example of a second type of email.

  The speed detection unit 122 detects the moving speed of the communication terminal 100. The mail creation unit 116 may create a mail when the moving speed detected by the speed detection unit 122 is faster than a predetermined speed. The email may be an example of a first type of email.

  The storage processing unit 124 stores the email created by the email creation unit 116. The storage processing unit 124 may store the first type of mail in the transmission buffer 108 in response to the condition for notifying the occurrence of an emergency being satisfied. For example, the storage processing unit 124 stores the mail created by the mail creating unit 116 in the transmission buffer 108 when an operation on the operation unit 118 is accepted. Further, for example, the storage processing unit 124 stores the mail created by the mail creating unit 116 in the transmission buffer 108 when the moving speed detected by the speed detecting unit 122 is faster than a predetermined speed.

  The storage processing unit 124 may store the second type of mail in the transmission buffer 108 when a condition other than the condition for notifying the occurrence of an emergency situation is satisfied. For example, the storage processing unit 124 stores the mail created by the mail creating unit 116 in response to the completion of the setting change by the setting change executing unit 114 in the transmission buffer 108. Further, for example, the storage processing unit 124 stores, in the transmission buffer 108, the mail including the position information created by the mail creating unit 116 when the condition for transmitting the position information acquired by the position information acquiring unit 120 is satisfied. .

  The mail transmission unit 130 transmits the mail stored in the transmission buffer 108. The mail transmission unit 130 may preferentially transmit the mail stored in the transmission buffer 108 by the storage processing unit 106 over the mail stored in the transmission buffer 108 by the storage processing unit 124. Furthermore, the mail transmission unit 130 may preferentially transmit the first type of mail over the second type of mail.

  The mail storage unit 132 stores the mail transmitted by the mail transmission unit 130. The mail receiving unit 134 receives mail. The mail storage unit 132 stores the mail received by the mail receiving unit 134.

  The display control unit 136 may display the mail stored in the mail storage unit 132 on a display included in the communication terminal 100. Here, the display control unit 136 displays the mail stored in the transmission buffer 108 by the storage processing unit 106 and transmitted by the mail transmission unit 130, and stored in the transmission buffer 108 by the storage processing unit 124. The mail sent by may not be displayed.

  FIG. 4 schematically shows an example of the flow of processing by the communication terminal 100. FIG. 4 schematically shows an example of a procedure for storing the created mail in the transmission buffer according to the priority order. Each process illustrated in FIG. 4 is executed mainly by a control unit included in the communication terminal 100.

  In step 402 (step may be abbreviated as S) 402, the mail creating unit 104 or the mail creating unit 116 creates a mail. In S404, it is determined whether the mail transmission unit 130 is transmitting a mail. If it is determined that mail is being transmitted, the process proceeds to S406. If it is determined that mail is not being transmitted, the process proceeds to S410.

  In S406, the mail transmission unit 130 determines whether the priority of the mail created in S402 is higher than the priority of the mail determined to be being transmitted in S404. The mail sending unit 130 has a priority in the order of the mail created by the mail creating unit 104, the first type of mail created by the mail creating unit 116, and the second type of mail created by the mail creating unit 116. You may judge that it is high.

  For example, when the mail created in S402 is a mail created by the mail creation unit 104, and the mail determined to be being transmitted in S404 is a mail created by the mail creation unit 116, the mail transmission unit 130 has priority. It is determined that the ranking is high. Further, for example, the mail created in S402 is the first type of mail created by the mail creation unit 116, and the mail determined to be being transmitted in S404 is the second type of mail created by the mail creation unit 116. If it is a mail, the mail transmission unit 130 determines that the priority is high. If it is determined that the priority is high, the process proceeds to S408. If it is not determined that the priority is high, the process proceeds to S410.

  In S408, the mail transmission unit 130 stops transmitting the mail determined to be being transmitted in S404, and transmits the mail created in S402. In S410, the mail is stored in the transmission buffer 108 according to the priority of the mail created in S402.

  When the mail is a mail created by the mail creation unit 104, the storage processing unit 106 stores the mail in the transmission buffer 108. When a mail having the same priority as the mail is stored in the transmission buffer 108, the storage processing unit 106 may store the mail after the mail having the same priority as the mail. When a mail having a lower priority than the mail is stored in the transmission buffer 108, the storage processing unit 106 may store the mail before a mail having a lower priority than the mail.

  When the mail is a mail created by the mail creating unit 116, the storage processing unit 124 stores the mail in the transmission buffer 108. When a mail having the same priority as the mail is stored in the transmission buffer 108, the storage processing unit 124 may store the mail after the mail having the same priority as the mail. When the mail having the same priority as the mail is not stored in the transmission buffer 108 and a mail having a higher priority than the mail is stored in the transmission buffer 108, the storage processing unit 124 has a higher priority than the mail. The mail may be stored after a high mail. When the mail having the same priority as the mail is not stored in the transmission buffer 108 and a mail having a lower priority than the mail is stored in the transmission buffer 108, the storage processing unit 124 has a higher priority than the mail. The mail may be stored before the low mail.

  FIG. 5 schematically shows an example of the flow of processing by the communication terminal 100. FIG. 5 schematically illustrates an example of processing executed by the mail transmission unit 130 when mails created by the mail creation unit 104 and the mail creation unit 116 are stored in the transmission buffer 108 in the order of creation.

  In S <b> 502, the mail transmission unit 130 selects the mail with the highest priority in the transmission buffer 108. In S504, the mail transmission unit 130 starts transmission processing of the mail selected in S502.

  In S506, the mail transmission unit 130 determines whether a new mail is stored in the transmission buffer 108 during the transmission process started in S504. If it is determined that it has been stored, the process proceeds to S508. If it is not determined that it has been stored, the process proceeds to S512.

  In S508, the mail transmission unit 130 determines whether or not the priority of the mail determined to be stored in S506 is higher than the priority of the mail that is being transmitted. If it is determined to be high, the process proceeds to S510, and if it is not determined to be high, the process proceeds to S512.

  In S510, the mail transmission unit 130 stops the transmission of the mail during the transmission process, and starts the mail transmission process determined to be stored in S506. In step S512, the mail transmission unit 130 determines whether transmission of all mail in the transmission buffer 108 has been completed. If it is determined that the process has not been completed, the process returns to S502. If it is determined that the process has been completed, the process ends.
