FIG. 1A is an external view of a mobile phone according to the present embodiment, FIG. 1A is an external view of the mobile phone in a second state, and FIG. 1B is an external view of the mobile phone in a first state. . FIG. 2 is a functional configuration diagram of the mobile phone shown in FIG. 1. It is an example of the setting screen which a controller shown in FIG. 2 displays on a display. It is a figure which shows the image which the mobile telephone shown in FIG. 1 outputs information to a user with a sound.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, the configuration of the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the feature phone type mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment has a positional relationship between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 changed by the movable unit 4, so that at least FIG. ) And a second state different from the first state shown in FIG. 1A can be taken. The first state is a state in which the size of the predetermined direction of the mobile phone 1 as a whole is smaller than that of the second state. For example, the size in the longitudinal direction in the first state shown in FIG. 1B is smaller than the size in the longitudinal direction in the second state shown in FIG.

  For example, the mobile phone 1 is a foldable openable mobile phone in which an upper housing 2 and a lower housing 3 are connected by a movable part 4 formed of a hinge. The upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 are attached so as to be rotatable with respect to the movable shaft 4X of the movable portion 4, respectively. As a result, the upper housing 2 rotates relative to the lower housing 3 around the movable shaft 4X. In the present embodiment, the first state is a state in which the surface of the upper housing 2 on which the display 13 is disposed faces the lower housing 3.

  The mobile phone 1 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to a foldable mobile phone, and may be a sliding feature phone in which the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 slide with each other. In addition, the mobile phone 1 may have any configuration as long as the mobile phone 1 is deformed so that the size in the predetermined direction is reduced as a whole.

  The mobile phone 1 includes a speaker 11, a microphone 12, a display 13, and a physical key unit 14. As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile phone 1 includes a communication unit 20, a battery 30, a detection unit 40, a memory 50, and a controller 60.

  The speaker 11 is disposed in front of the upper housing 2 shown in FIG. 1A and outputs sound. Note that the speaker 11 may be disposed in the lower housing 3. At this time, the speaker 11 may be arranged at a position in the lower housing 3 that is not hidden by the upper housing 2 in the first state. The microphone 12 is disposed in the lower housing 3 and acquires ambient sound and converts it into an electrical signal.

  The display 13 is disposed on the front surface of the upper housing 2 shown in FIG. The display 13 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or an inorganic EL display. The display 13 displays various types of information such as characters, symbols, images, images of operation objects (icons), and the like to the user who operates the mobile phone 1. The display 13 may be provided with an electrostatic touch sensor. In this case, the display 13 may detect a position where a part of a human body such as a finger is touching and input a command based on the detected position to the controller 60.

  The physical key unit 14 is disposed on the front surface of the lower housing 3 shown in FIG. The physical key unit 14 includes various physical keys that detect pressing input by the user who operates the mobile phone 1.

  The physical key unit 14 includes a center key 14a, a direction key 14b, a menu key 14c, a mail key 14d, a camera key 14e, a web key 14f, a call start key 14g, a clear key 14h, a call end / power key 14i, a numeric key 14j, and Three function keys (a first function key 14k, a second function key 141, and a third function key 14m) and a mode setting key 14n are included. The numeric keypad 14j includes numeric keys from 0 to 9 and other symbol keys.

  The keys 14a to 14m constituting the physical key unit 14 are arranged on the front surface of the lower housing 3 shown in FIG. 1A, and can each be constituted by a push button type automatic return switch or the like. . The mode setting key 14n can be configured with a switch or the like, and is disposed on, for example, the side surface of the lower housing 3 (the left side surface in FIG. 1A).

  When the physical key unit 14 is pressed by the user, a command based on the pressing is input to the controller 60. The numeric keypad 14j may be provided with an electrostatic sensor. In this case, a command based on a position of the numeric keypad 14j touched by a part of a human body such as a finger, a change in the position, or the like is input to the controller 60.

  Since the function of each key constituting the physical key unit 14 can be the same as that of a general mobile phone, a more detailed description is omitted. Further, in FIG. 1A, characters or symbols or the like imprinted on the key tops of the keys constituting the physical key unit 14 are simplified or omitted as appropriate.

  In addition, the communication unit 20, the battery 30, the detection unit 40, the memory 50, and the controller 60 are disposed inside the upper housing 2 and / or the lower housing 3.

  The communication unit 20 is connected to a communication network by wirelessly communicating with, for example, a wireless communication base station via an antenna, and realizes a call and communication function of the mobile phone 1. Since the communication unit 20 can be configured in the same manner as an element that realizes a communication function included in a normal feature phone, a more detailed description is omitted.

  The battery 30 operates each unit including the speaker 11, the microphone 12, the display 13, the physical key unit 14, the communication unit 20, the detection unit 40, the memory 50, and the controller 60 described above. To supply power. The battery 30 is preferably a chargeable / dischargeable secondary battery, but may be a primary battery.

  In the present embodiment, the controller 60 detects the operation of the physical key unit 14 by the user, thereby setting the type of notification and the data that is the target of audio output. For example, the controller 60 causes the display 13 to display a setting screen as shown in FIG. On the setting screen, ON and OFF for selecting whether or not to output sound indicating information based on data at a predetermined time (whether or not to set as a notification target) are displayed (“on-time notification” in FIG. 3). "reference). The information based on the data can be data detected by the detection unit 40. The information based on the data may be information obtained by the controller 60 performing an operation on the data. The information based on the data may be information stored in the memory 50 in association with the data, for example.

  For example, when the user presses the direction key 14b, the controller 60 displays the cursor on or off corresponding to the scheduled notification on the setting screen. At this time, for example, when the user presses the center key 14a, the user is switched from ON to OFF corresponding to the on-time notification on the setting screen, or vice versa. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the cursor is displayed in ON, and the scheduled notification is set to ON. In this case, when a voice notification function to be described later is executed, the controller 60 executes processing related to the scheduled notification. Further, when the scheduled notification is set to OFF, the controller 60 does not execute the process related to the scheduled notification even when the voice notification function is executed. Alternatively, when the scheduled notification is set to OFF, the controller 60 may not execute the voice notification function.

  In addition, ON and OFF for selecting whether to output by voice whether the mobile phone 1 is within a range where radio waves transmitted / received by the communication unit 20 are received or out of range within a range not displayed are displayed. (See “Out-of-service notification” in FIG. 3). For example, when the user presses the direction key 14b, the controller 60 displays the cursor on or off corresponding to the out-of-service notification on the setting screen. At this time, for example, when the user presses the center key 14a, the user is switched from ON to OFF corresponding to the on-time notification on the setting screen, or vice versa. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the cursor is displayed as ON, and the out-of-service notification is set to ON. In this case, when a voice notification function to be described later is executed, the controller 60 executes a process related to the out-of-service area notification. Further, when the scheduled notification is set to OFF, the controller 60 does not execute the process related to the out-of-service area notification even when the voice notification function is executed. Alternatively, if the out-of-service notification is set to OFF, the controller 60 may not execute the voice notification function.

  The setting screen displays ON and OFF for selecting whether or not to output sound indicating information based on the data when there is a change in the data detected by the detection unit 40 (FIG. 3). (See “Event Notification”). For example, when the user presses the direction key 14b, the controller 60 displays the cursor on or off corresponding to the out-of-service notification on the setting screen. At this time, for example, when the user presses the center key 14a, the user is switched from ON to OFF corresponding to the on-time notification on the setting screen, or vice versa. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a cursor is displayed in ON, and event notification is set to ON. In this case, when a voice notification function to be described later is executed, the controller 60 executes processing related to event notification. Further, when the scheduled notification is set to OFF, the controller 60 does not execute the process related to the event notification even when the voice notification function is executed. Alternatively, when the event notification is set to OFF, the controller 60 may prevent the voice notification function from being executed.

  In addition, on the setting screen, a check box for selecting whether or not to output information on data based on data, such as temperature, altitude, atmospheric pressure, number of steps, moving distance, and remaining battery level, is displayed. For example, the controller 60 causes the cursor to be displayed in check boxes corresponding to temperature, altitude, atmospheric pressure, number of steps, distance traveled, and remaining battery level when the user presses the direction key 14b. At this time, for example, when the user presses the center key 14a, the check box is checked or unchecked. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a check box corresponding to the temperature is checked. In this case, when a voice notification function described later is executed, the controller 60 executes a process related to temperature. If the check box corresponding to the temperature is not checked, the controller 60 does not execute the temperature notification process even if the voice notification function is executed. Alternatively, when the check box corresponding to the temperature is not checked, the controller 60 may not execute the voice notification function. The same applies to the altitude, the atmospheric pressure, the number of steps, the moving distance, and the remaining battery level. Note that the heat consumption amount described later may be included in the number of steps or the moving distance in the selection items.

  Further, the controller 60 variably controls the volume output from the speaker 11 based on the pressing of the physical key unit 14 by the user. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the controller 60 causes the display 13 to display a number indicating the volume input based on the operation of the physical key unit 14 by the user. At this time, the controller 60 stores the volume input based on the user's operation in the memory 50. The volume setting on the setting screen of FIG. 3 may be dedicated to the output of sound set on the setting screen (output of sound by execution of a sound notification function described later). In this case, the mobile phone 1 may be configured such that the volume for normal voice output, which is different from the execution of a voice notification function described later, can be set on another screen different from the setting screen of FIG.

  The controller 60 sets a mode related to the sound output of the speaker 11 in response to the pressing of the physical key unit 14 by the user. Specifically, the controller 60 causes the memory 50 to store modes such as a silent mode and a sound output mode that are input based on a user's operation.

  When the mobile phone 1 is set to the silent mode, the controller 60 does not execute an operation of outputting sound from the speaker 11. At this time, the controller 60 may vibrate the mobile phone 1 using a piezoelectric element or the like at a timing at which sound is to be output. At this time, the controller 60 may cause the display 13 to perform a predetermined display at a timing at which sound is to be output.

  When the mobile phone 1 is set to the sound output mode, the controller 60 outputs sound indicating information based on the data detected by the detection unit 40. The controller 60 produces | generates the audio | voice to output by producing | generating the text which shows information and performing the speech synthesis process which shows this text. In addition, the controller 60 may extract audio data that is stored in advance in the memory 50 and sampled in advance.

  The detection unit 40 includes an atmospheric pressure sensor 41, a temperature sensor 42, an acceleration sensor 43, a battery remaining amount sensor 44, a radio wave sensor 45, a state sensor 46, and the like. The detection unit 40 detects data related to the detection target. Here, the detection target is a target on which the detection unit 40 performs detection. This detection target can be the whole or a part of the mobile phone 1, or can be various targets (including the user of the mobile phone 1) in the surrounding environment of the mobile phone 1. The data related to the detection target includes, for example, atmospheric pressure, temperature, the number of steps moved by the user, the remaining battery level of the battery 30, the strength of the radio wave used for communication by the communication unit 20, and the like. The detection unit 40 detects data at a predetermined time or at a predetermined time interval. The predetermined time is, for example, a time set in advance by the user. The predetermined time can be, for example, 00 minutes and 30 minutes at each hour. The predetermined time interval can be an arbitrary time interval, and can be, for example, a 15-minute interval or a 30-minute interval. The predetermined time interval may be a time interval preset by the user, for example. Further, the controller 60 may cause the speaker 11 to output information based on data detected by the detection unit 40 a plurality of times from the speaker 11.

  The atmospheric pressure sensor 41 detects the atmospheric pressure of the surrounding environment of the mobile phone 1 as data relating to the detection target, and outputs it to the controller 60.

  The temperature sensor 42 detects the temperature of the surrounding environment of the mobile phone 1 as data relating to the detection target, and outputs the detected temperature to the controller 60.

  The acceleration sensor 43 periodically detects the acceleration applied to the mobile phone 1 as data relating to the detection target, and outputs acceleration data representing the acceleration associated with each time detected multiple times to the controller 60.

  The battery remaining amount sensor 44 detects the voltage of the battery 30 for detecting the battery remaining amount and outputs the detected voltage to the controller 60 as data relating to the detection target.

  The radio wave sensor 45 detects the intensity of the radio wave used for communication by the communication unit 20 as data related to the detection target.

  The state sensor 46 detects the state of the mobile phone 1 based on the relative rotation of the upper housing 2 with respect to the lower housing 3 around the movable shaft 4X. The state sensor 46 includes, for example, an upper switch 46a and a lower switch 46b. An upper switch 46 a shown in FIG. 1A is arranged in the upper housing 2. Further, the lower switch 46 b is disposed in the lower housing 3. The positions at which the upper switch 46a and the lower switch 46b are respectively disposed are opposed to and in contact with each other in the first state in which the mobile phone 1 is closed (see FIG. 1B). Accordingly, the controller 60 determines that the mobile phone 1 is in the first state when the upper switch 46a and the lower switch 46b are in contact with each other.

  Further, the state sensor 46 may be configured by a switch that switches on / off according to the state of the movable portion 4. In this case, the switch constituting the state sensor 46 is turned off, for example, in the second state (FIG. 1A) in which the mobile phone 1 is opened, and in the first state in which the mobile phone 1 is closed (FIG. 1). It may be turned on in (b)). Thereby, the controller 60 determines that the mobile phone 1 is in the first state when the switch is turned on.

  Moreover, the state sensor 46 may be comprised by the magnetic sensor and the magnet, for example. In this case, the magnetic sensor is disposed in the upper housing 2. Further, the magnet is disposed in the lower housing 3. The positions where the magnetic sensor and the magnet are respectively arranged face each other in the vicinity in the first state where the mobile phone 1 is closed (see FIG. 1B). The magnetic sensor detects the magnetic force and outputs the detected magnetic force to the controller 60. Thus, the controller 60 determines that the mobile phone 1 is in the first state when the magnetic force output from the magnetic sensor is greater than a predetermined threshold. In addition, as a method for determining that the mobile phone 1 is in the first state, in addition to the various means exemplified above, any known technique adopted for a general mobile phone may be used.

  The memory 50 includes an arbitrary storage device such as a RAM and a ROM. The memory 50 stores various information, a program for operating the mobile phone 1, and the like, and also functions as a work memory. The memory 50 also stores a program that causes the controller 60 to execute a specific function.

  The memory 50 stores information based on the data detected by the detection unit 40 in association with the time or order in which the data related to the information is detected.

  The controller 60 controls and manages the entire mobile phone 1 including each functional block of the mobile phone 1. The controller 60 may be a processor such as a CPU that executes a program that defines a control procedure. The program executed by the controller 60 is stored in, for example, the memory 50 or an external storage medium.

  The controller 60 starts the operation of the voice notification function when a start instruction by a user operation is input. In the voice notification function, the controller 60 determines whether or not the mobile phone 1 is in the first state when the detection unit 40 detects data related to the detection target at a predetermined time. When the controller 60 determines that the mobile phone 1 is in the first state, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output the sound indicating information based on the detected data. The sound output at this time can be a sound forming a predetermined language such as Japanese or English. Further, as described above, even when the controller 60 is set to the silent mode, that is, the controller 60 is executing an operation in which no sound is output from the speaker 11, the controller 60 detects the controller 60. Information based on the data is output from the speaker 11 by voice.

  Next, the operation of the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  The controller 60 executes the voice notification function when the mobile phone 1 is in the first state, that is, when the size of the mobile phone 1 in a predetermined direction is smaller than other states that the mobile phone 1 can take. Further, the controller 60 executes the voice notification function only for the data related to the set notification target.

(On-time output)
The controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output information based on the data detected by the detection unit 40 at a predetermined time. Specifically, the controller 60 causes the detection unit 40 to detect data at a predetermined time. When the controller 60 determines that the mobile phone 1 is in the first state, the controller 60 outputs the data detected by the detection unit 40. Further, the controller 60 may output at least a part of the data periodically detected by the detection unit 40 at a predetermined time.

  For example, when the atmospheric pressure sensor 41 detects atmospheric pressure at a predetermined time, the controller 60 determines whether or not the mobile phone 1 is in the first state based on a signal such as magnetic force output from the state sensor 46. . When the controller 60 determines that the mobile phone 1 is in the first state, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output information based on the atmospheric pressure data. In addition, when the temperature sensor 42 measures the temperature at a predetermined time, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output information based on the temperature data from the speaker 11. In addition, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output information based on the data of the number of steps counted continuously from the start of the operation of the voice notification function by the acceleration sensor 43 from the speaker 11 at a predetermined time. Further, when the remaining battery level sensor 44 detects the remaining battery level at a predetermined time, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output information based on the remaining battery level data by voice.

  Further, the controller 60 may output information calculated from the data detected by the detection unit 40.

  For example, based on the acceleration output from the acceleration sensor 43, the controller 60 calculates one or more of the number of steps, the moving distance, and the heat consumption that the user of the mobile phone 1 including the acceleration sensor 43 has moved. Specifically, for example, the controller 60 calculates the number of steps based on the number of vibrations that is a change in acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor 43. Further, the controller 60 calculates the movement distance based on the calculated number of steps and the user's stride. The user's stride may be a general stride during walking or may be a stride stored in advance in the memory 50 by a user operation. Further, the controller 60 calculates the amount of heat consumed based on the moving distance and the age and weight of the user. The age and weight of the user can be the age and weight stored in the memory 50 in advance. Then, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output the calculated number of steps, moving distance, and heat consumption from the speaker 11 as information based on the detected data.

  When the mobile phone 1 has a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver instead of the acceleration sensor 43 or together with the acceleration sensor 43, the controller 60 changes the position received by the GPS receiver from the GPS satellite. The moving distance of the user may be calculated based on the above. In this case, the controller 60 can calculate the number of steps based on the calculated moving distance and the user's stride.

  Further, the controller 60 calculates the remaining battery level of the battery 30 from the voltage of the battery 30 detected by the battery remaining level sensor 44. Then, the controller 60 causes the calculated remaining battery capacity to be output from the speaker 11 by voice as information based on the data.

  Further, the controller 60 calculates the altitude from the atmospheric pressure detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor 41. In this case, the controller 60 causes the calculated altitude to be output from the speaker 11 by voice as information based on the data.

(Event output)
Further, when the information based on the data detected by the detection unit 40 satisfies a predetermined condition, the controller 60 causes the information based on the data to be output from the speaker 11 by voice.

  Specifically, when the information based on the data satisfies a predetermined condition, the controller 60 outputs the information from the speaker 11 by voice. The controller 60 does not output the information when the information based on the data does not satisfy a predetermined condition.

  More specifically, for example, when the atmospheric pressure sensor 41 detects the atmospheric pressure, the controller 60 determines whether or not the atmospheric pressure is less than 900 hpa. When the atmospheric pressure is less than 900 hpa, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output that the atmospheric pressure or the atmospheric pressure has changed.

  For example, when the temperature sensor 42 detects the temperature, the controller 60 determines whether or not the temperature is 30 degrees or higher. When the temperature is, for example, 30 degrees or more, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output the temperature or that the temperature has changed from the speaker 11.

  For example, when the acceleration sensor 43 detects the number of steps, the controller 60 determines whether the number of steps is 3000 steps or more. When the number of steps is, for example, 3000 steps or more, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output a sound indicating that the number of steps or the number of steps has reached a predetermined value.

  For example, when the atmospheric pressure sensor 41 detects the atmospheric pressure, the controller 60 calculates an altitude based on the atmospheric pressure and determines whether the altitude is 1000 m or more, for example. When the altitude is 1000 m or more, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output that the altitude or the altitude has reached a predetermined value.

  For example, when the acceleration sensor 43 detects the number of steps, the controller 60 calculates a moving distance based on the number of steps, and determines whether the moving distance is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance. When the moving distance is equal to or longer than the predetermined distance, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output that the moving distance or the moving distance has reached the predetermined distance. The controller 60 may calculate the amount of heat consumption based on the movement distance and determine whether or not the amount of heat consumption is a predetermined amount or more. In this case, when the heat consumption amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, the controller 60 causes the speaker 11 to output a sound indicating that the heat consumption amount or the heat consumption amount has reached the predetermined amount.

(Output based on multiple detections)
Further, the controller 60 may cause the detection unit 40 to detect data related to the detection target a plurality of times at a predetermined time interval.

  Specifically, when the controller 60 detects data at a predetermined time interval, the controller 60 stores the detected data in the memory 50. The controller 60 may calculate and output a difference between any two pieces of data detected by the detection unit 40 a plurality of times. For example, the controller 60 calculates the difference between the data detected by the detection unit 40 and the data detected before the detection and stored in the memory 50. Further, the controller 60 may calculate a difference between two arbitrary data stored in the memory 50. Further, the controller 60 may calculate and output the transition, change rate, etc. of the data detected a plurality of times.

  More specifically, the controller 60 stores the atmospheric pressure detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor 41 in the memory 50 every time a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the operation of the voice notification function. The controller 60 outputs information based on the atmospheric pressure detected a plurality of times. For example, the controller 60 calculates a pressure difference, which is a difference between the pressure detected by the detection unit 40 and the pressure detected before the detection and is already stored in the memory 50, and outputs the calculated pressure difference from the speaker 11. The controller 60 may cause the speaker 11 to output a plurality of atmospheric pressure changes stored in the memory 50. Further, the controller 60 may calculate a change rate of a plurality of atmospheric pressures stored in the memory 50 and output it from the speaker 11. The controller 60 is not limited to these outputs, and can output arbitrary information based on the atmospheric pressure detected by the detection unit 40 and the atmospheric pressure stored in the memory 50.

  The controller 60 can also output information on the temperature, the number of steps, the remaining battery level, the altitude, the moving distance, and the heat consumption.

(Output based on information stored in memory)
Further, after outputting information based on the data detected by the detection unit 40, the controller 60 may not output information based on the data newly detected by the detection unit 40 until a predetermined situation is reached. The predetermined situation is a situation regarding information based on data detected by the detection unit 40, and may be set in advance.

  For example, an example in which the detection unit 40 is the atmospheric pressure sensor 41 and the predetermined situation is a situation in which an atmospheric pressure of 900 hPa or more is continuously detected a predetermined number of times or more will be described. When the atmospheric pressure sensor 41 detects the atmospheric pressure 895 hpa, the controller 60 outputs the atmospheric pressure by voice and then detects an atmospheric pressure of less than 900 hPa until the atmospheric pressure of 900 hPa or higher is detected continuously for a predetermined number of times or more. The information based on the detected data is not output from the speaker 11 by voice. That is, after the atmospheric pressure sensor 41 detects the atmospheric pressure 895 hpa and outputs the atmospheric pressure by voice, when the atmospheric pressure of 900 hPa or more is detected continuously for a predetermined number of times or more, the controller 60 thereafter detects the atmospheric pressure of less than 900 hPa. When the pressure is detected, the atmospheric pressure is output by voice.

  In addition, for example, an example will be described in which the detection unit 40 is the temperature sensor 42 and the predetermined situation is a situation where a temperature of less than 30 degrees is continuously detected a predetermined number of times or more. When the temperature sensor 42 detects the temperature of 31 degrees, the controller 60 detects the temperature of 30 degrees or more until a temperature of 30 degrees or less is detected continuously after the temperature is output by voice until the temperature is continuously detected less than 30 degrees. However, the information based on the detected data is not output from the speaker 11 by voice. In other words, after the temperature sensor 42 detects a temperature of 31 degrees and outputs the temperature by voice, when a temperature of less than 30 degrees is continuously detected for a predetermined number of times or more, the controller 60 subsequently turns to 30 When a temperature of more than 1 degree is detected, the temperature is output by voice.
