Abstract

To allow portable terminals to directly and automatically display or reproduce similar contents such as pictures or videos in their respective standby screens and share the contents with each other.SOLUTION: The control program or the device according to the present invention includes a setting unit, an extraction unit, a sending unit, a reception unit, and a display unit. A sending user sets the type, for example, of such contents as pictures to be shared in the setting unit in the control program. A sending user and a reception user conduct an authentication setting, for example, to make a sending terminal and a reception terminal match with each other in the setting unit in the control program. Pictures, for example, extracted from the sending terminal are uploaded from the sending terminal to the server, and are displayed in the standby screen of the sending terminal itself. Also, the pictures, for example, uploaded from the sending terminal to the server are downloaded to the receiving terminal through the server, and are displayed in the standby screen of the reception terminal when the pictures are received by the reception terminal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

In the field of mobile communication, the present invention provides content such as photographs, images, and videos displayed on so-called standby screens such as lock screens and home screens of mobile terminals such as smartphones used by users and their background screens. It relates to a method for automatically displaying and sharing on the standby screen of a mobile terminal such as a smartphone of a person.

Currently, almost all mobile terminals such as smartphones are equipped with cameras with high pixels, and people are constantly taking a large number of photographs every day. Many people enjoy displaying photos taken with their smartphones and photos and images obtained from the Internet on the lock screen and home screen of their smartphones and other terminals, so-called standby screens.

In addition, you can transfer photos taken with a terminal other than a smartphone, such as photos taken with a digital camera, to your own smartphone or an acquaintance's smartphone by e-mail, etc., receive the photos, and manually display them on the standby screen each time. If so.

Special table 2017-509992 JP-A-2016-62561

In the above-mentioned needs for displaying a photo on a so-called standby screen, there is a case where the photograph displayed on the standby screen of one's own mobile terminal is also desired to be displayed on the standby screen of another person. For example, there is a case where a photograph of one's own child is displayed on the standby screen of one's own smartphone, and at the same time, the photograph is displayed on the standby screen of a family member such as parents who are far away.

However, it is impossible for Mr. A to automatically and simultaneously display the photographs and the like displayed on the standby screen of Mr. A's own smartphone on the standby screen of Mr. B's smartphone.

At present, Mr. A sends image data such as a photo set on the standby screen to Mr. B by e-mail attachment or messaging application, and Mr. B who receives the photo receives the photo. After launching the application and saving the photo in your smartphone, set the display to manually display it on the standby screen each time from the setting menu of your smartphone so that it will be displayed on the standby screen of your smartphone. There must be. This method is very troublesome, for example, both the sender A and the receiver B need to manually perform a plurality of operations each time, and a time lag occurs depending on the timing of transmission and reception, and the simultaneity cannot be satisfied.

In addition, there are applications that automatically switch the display of photos on the standby screen, but they carry image data such as photos to be displayed on the standby screen from a dedicated terminal such as a PC or server to multiple users. It is unilaterally distributed to the terminal, or the photo etc. in the user's own terminal is automatically switched to the standby screen of the own mobile terminal, and the individual user can switch the display. It is not possible to send and receive photos between the mobile terminals used and automatically display the same photos on the standby screens of each other's mobile terminals.

Therefore, according to the present invention, users automatically simultaneously display and share contents such as photos, images, and videos displayed on the standby screen of a mobile terminal such as a smartphone on the standby screen of another mobile terminal such as a smartphone. It makes it possible.

From now on, using the flowchart of FIG. 2, the operation of one embodiment of the first aspect is performed by taking as an example the case where the transmitted / received content is a photograph and the authentication method is a secret secret word consisting of a character string. The operation of is explained.
User A is a transmitting user who transmits a photo.
User B is a receiving user who receives a photo transmitted by sender A.

User A installs an application running on this system on his / her mobile terminal. (Step S1)
User B installs an application running on this system on his / her mobile terminal. (Step S1')

User A selects the type of photo displayed on his / her own standby screen and the standby screen of user B in the setting menu of the installed application. (Step S2)

User A sets the processing requirements for the photo displayed on his / her own standby screen and the standby screen of user B in the setting menu of the installed application. (Step S3)

The user A creates and sets a secret secret word for the user B to receive the photo transmitted from the user A in the setting menu of the installed application. (Step S4)

User A conveys the secret word created above to user B. (Step S5)
Communication at this time is performed outside the system, such as face-to-face, telephone, verbal, email, and messaging apps.

User B sets the secret secret word taught by User A in the setting menu of the installed application. (Step S6)

As a result, the same photo is automatically displayed and played back on the standby screen of the user A and the standby screen of the user B at the same time. (Fig. 5)

The order of the content type setting (step S2) of the user A, the content processing setting (step S3), and the password setting (step S4) may be changed.
