[Functional configuration]
FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration for executing an operation mode switching process among the functional configurations of the information processing apparatus 1 in FIG.
The operation mode switching process means that the user stops the operation of the first mode in which the main microcomputer 10 and the sub-microcomputer 20 function in cooperation and the OS of the main microcomputer 10 that executes the first mode stops. It refers to a series of processes for switching the operation mode between the second mode in which only the function is performed.
Here, in the first mode, both the main microcomputer 10 and the sub-microcomputer 20 function, but in the second mode, only the sub-microcomputer 20 functions. Therefore, the power consumption in the second mode is smaller than the power consumption in the first mode. Is also low.
The second mode includes a plurality of types of operation modes, for example, a 2a mode and a 2b mode. When the user switches the operation mode from the first mode to the second mode, the user selects one of the 2a mode and the 2b mode. Select one to switch the operation mode. Note that the second mode includes two types of operation modes, that is, the second mode and the second mode, but this is merely an example and can include any number of types of operation modes. Further, hereinafter, for the sake of simplicity of description, the second mode may include a 2a mode and a 2b mode, but is not limited thereto.
At least one of the 2a mode and the 2b mode is a mode for acquiring sensor information from the sensor unit 25.

In the operation mode switching process, as shown in FIG. 4, a first program processing unit 111, a first display control unit 112, a setting information acquisition unit 113, a mode selection unit 114, a first mode A switching unit 115, a first data transmitting / receiving unit 116, a used sensor setting unit 117, a second program processing unit 211, a second display control unit 212, a second mode switching unit 213, Functions as the data transmission / reception unit 214.
A sensor information storage unit 141 is set in one area of the first storage unit 14. Similarly, a sensor information storage unit 241 and a setting information storage unit 242 are set in one area of the second storage unit 24.

  The first program processing unit 111 controls the entire operation of the main microcomputer 10. For example, the first program processing unit 111 includes a first display control unit 112, a setting information acquisition unit 113, a mode selection unit 114, a first mode switching unit 115, a first data transmission / reception unit 116, And the use sensor setting unit 117 are operated.

  The first display control unit 112 controls the display on the first display unit 18. For example, the first display control unit 112 displays, for example, sensor information sensed by the sensor unit 25 on the first display unit 18 as a result of processing in the first mode. Further, the first display control unit 112 may display map information or a predetermined picture image on the first display unit 18. Alternatively, the first display control unit 112 may adjust the brightness and color of the display image by controlling the light emission of the first display unit 18.

The setting information acquisition unit 113 acquires setting information in the first mode. This setting information is information used when a mode selection unit 114 described later selects the second mode a or the second mode b as the second mode. For example, when the user selects the 2a mode or the 2b mode from the display screen of the information processing device 1 as described later, the selection result by the user becomes the setting information.
Alternatively, based on the type and number of sensors that function in the first mode and the type and number of sensors that function in the second mode, when switching to the second mode, whether to switch to the 2a mode or the 2b mode Is determined, the selection result of the second mode or the second mode becomes the setting information.
Specifically, the setting information indicates an operation mode in which the type and number of sensors that function in each of the 2a mode and the 2b mode are more similar to the type and number of sensors operating in the first mode. It may be information indicating selection. For example, when the geomagnetic sensor and the acceleration sensor are operating in the first mode, the geomagnetic sensor and the acceleration sensor function in the second mode, and the gyro sensor and the illuminance sensor function in the second mode, the setting information is: This is information indicating that the second mode is selected as the second mode.
Alternatively, when the sensor operating before the stop of the first mode is a sensor that functions in the 2a mode, the setting information may be information indicating that the 2a mode is selected as the second mode. . For example, when the sensor operating in the first mode is a geomagnetic sensor and the geomagnetic sensor functions in the 2a mode, the setting information is information indicating that the 2a mode is selected as the second mode.
Alternatively, when the sensor used during the operation in the first mode is not included in the sensors functioning in the second mode, the setting information is information indicating that the second mode is selected as the second mode. It may be. For example, when the sensor operating in the first mode is a geomagnetic sensor and the geomagnetic sensor does not function in the second mode, the setting information is information indicating that the second mode is selected as the second mode.

  The mode selection unit 114 selects the second mode, the 2a mode or the second b mode, based on the setting information obtained by the setting information obtaining unit 113.

The first mode switching unit 115 switches the operation mode from the first mode to the 2a mode or the 2b mode selected by the mode selection unit 114.
More specifically, the first mode switching unit 115 transmits an operation instruction in the 2a mode or the 2b mode to the sub-microcomputer 20 and ends the operation in the first mode. The operation instruction includes setting information indicating which of the 2a mode and the 2b mode has been selected, and a sensing instruction by a sensor functioning in each of the 2a mode and the 2b mode.
Further, the first mode switching unit 115 may switch the mode so as to stop the first mode and execute the second mode when the operation of the OS executing the first mode is stopped.
Details of the operation mode switching process will be described later using a flowchart.

The first data transmission / reception unit 116 transmits data to the sub microcomputer 20 and receives data from the sub microcomputer 20.
Specifically, the first data transmission / reception unit 116 receives the sensor information sensed by the sensor unit 25 from the sub-microcomputer 20 and further stores the received sensor information in the sensor information storage unit 141 sequentially.
Further, the first data transmission / reception unit 116 transmits the sensor information stored in the sensor information storage unit 141 to the sub microcomputer 20. For example, when the pedometer function using the sensor information is used in both the first mode and the second mode, when the first mode is stopped, the first data transmission / reception unit 116 determines the latest number of steps in the first mode. The sensor information shown is extracted from the sensor information storage unit 141 and transmitted to the sub-microcomputer 20. Thereby, even if the operation mode is switched from the first mode to the second mode, the number of steps can be continuously counted without resetting the number of steps.

  The used sensor setting unit 117 sets the sensor used during the operation in the first mode as the sensor used in the 2a mode or the 2b mode. For example, when the gyro sensor is being used in the first mode, the used sensor setting unit 117 sets the gyro sensor as the sensor used in the second mode.

  The second program processing unit 211 controls the entire sub-microcomputer 20. For example, the second program processing unit 211 includes a second display control unit 212, a second mode switching unit 213, a second data transmission / reception unit 214, a sensor information acquisition unit 215, and a time information acquisition unit 216. And work.

  The second display control unit 212 controls display on the first display unit 18 and the second display unit 27. For example, the second display control unit 212 segments the time information on the second display unit 27 which is a liquid crystal display. In addition, the second display control unit 212 causes the first display unit 18 to output, for example, from the sensor unit 25 acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 215 described later in the second mode as a result of processing in the second mode. Is displayed. Further, the second display control unit 212 may display a predetermined image on the first display unit 18. The predetermined image is, for example, a background image. Further, the second display control unit 212 changes the background image to another image according to a user's button operation or the like via the second input unit 26.

  The second mode switching unit 213 switches the operation mode from the second mode or the second mode to the first mode. More specifically, the second mode switching unit 213 transmits an operation instruction in the first mode to the main microcomputer 10 and ends the operation in the 2a mode or the 2b mode. The operation instruction includes a sensing instruction by a sensor that functions in the first mode. Details of the operation mode switching process will be described later using a flowchart.

The second data transmission / reception unit 214 transmits data to the main microcomputer 10 and receives data from the main microcomputer 10. Specifically, the second data transmission / reception unit 214 transmits the sensor information from the sensor unit 25 acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 215 described later to the main microcomputer 10.
Further, the second data transmission / reception unit 214 transmits the sensor information stored in the sensor information storage unit 241 to the main microcomputer 10. For example, when the pedometer function using the sensor information is used in both the first mode and the second mode, when the second mode is stopped, the second data transmission / reception unit 214 sets the latest step count in the second mode. The sensor information is extracted from the sensor information storage unit 241 and transmitted to the main microcomputer 10. Thus, even if the operation mode is switched from the second mode to the first mode, the number of steps can be continuously counted without resetting the number of steps.
Further, the second data transmission / reception unit 214 receives an operation instruction in the 2a mode or the 2b mode from the main microcomputer 10 and stores the setting information included in the operation instruction in the setting information storage unit 242.

  The sensor information acquisition unit 215 acquires sensor information from the sensor unit 25. In particular, the sensor information acquisition unit 215 acquires information other than the time information from the sensor unit 25. Further, the sensor information acquisition unit 215 stores the sensor information acquired from the sensor unit 25 in the sensor information storage unit 241.

  Time information acquisition section 216 acquires time information from second RTC section 30.
