Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the SMS system. An SMS (Short Message Service) system 100 includes a plurality of communication devices 1 and a telephone communication network N that mediates communication between the communication devices 1 . A communication device (display mode changing device) 1 is configured by a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or the like.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a communication device. The communication device 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11 , a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12 , a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13 , a large capacity storage section 14 , a touch panel display 15 and a communication section 16 . Each configuration is connected by a bus B.

The CPU 11 performs various information processing by appropriately executing the control program 1P stored in the ROM 12 . The control program 1P includes functions for using SMS. Also, the control program 1P incorporates the display mode changing program or the function of the program in the present disclosure. The RAM 13 is, for example, SRAM (Static RAM), DRAM (Dynamic RAM), or flash memory. The RAM 13 temporarily stores data generated when the CPU 11 executes the program.

The large-capacity storage unit 14 is, for example, a hard disk or an SSD (Solid State Drive). The large-capacity storage unit 14 stores various databases (DB: DataBase). The large-capacity storage unit 14 stores a logo image DB 141, an impermissible word DB 142, and an emotional expression DB 143. Also, the control program 1P may be stored in the large-capacity storage unit 14 . All or part of the logo image DB 141 , the prohibited word DB 142 and the emotional expression DB 143 may be stored in a place other than the communication device 1 . For example, it may be stored in a database server or cloud storage.

The touch panel display 15 is a combination of an image display device such as a liquid crystal panel and a position input device such as a touch pad. Instead of the touch panel display 15, a display section such as a liquid crystal panel and an input section such as a keyboard and a trackpad may be provided.

The communication unit 16 is an interface for connecting to the telephone communication network N by wired communication or wireless communication. The communication unit 16 transmits and receives short messages to and from other communication devices via the telephone communication network N. FIG. Note that the CPU 11 may download the control program 1P from an external device via the telephone communication network N via the communication unit 16 and store it in the large-capacity storage unit 14 .

A DB used in the SMS system 100 will be described. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the logo image DB. The logo image DB 141 stores logo images and the like. The logo image DB 141 includes word strings, logo strings, markup strings, and re-change strings. The word string stores words corresponding to logos. The words stored in the word string are words (character strings) corresponding to the named entity. Here, the word corresponding to the named entity is a company name, an abbreviation of the company name, a nickname of the company, a product name, a service name, or the like. The logo column stores logo images (conversion candidates). Instead of storing logo images in the logo string, identification information for acquiring logo images, such as image file names, may be stored. Henceforth, a logo image is also simply called a logo. The markup sequence stores tags that correspond to logos. The tag has a one-to-one correspondence with the logo image. In the SMS system 100, when each communication device 1 stores a logo image, a tag indicating the logo image is embedded in a transmission message without transmitting/receiving the logo image between the communication devices 1.例文帳に追加Upon receiving the message, the communication device 1 converts the tag into a logo image and displays the message. When transmitting a logo image, the communication device 1 on the transmission side transmits text data in which a tag is embedded as a message. At the same time, an image file with attributes attached with tags is transmitted. When the communication device 1 on the receiving side displays the received text data, if a tag is included, it is displayed by replacing it with an image corresponding to the tag. The re-change column stores the text to be replaced (stored mode) when the logo image is re-changed to text.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the prohibited word DB. The prohibited word DB (word storage unit) 142 stores words that prohibit transmission of a message when the word and the logo image are included in the message. The prohibited word DB 142 includes prohibited word strings. The prohibited word string stores prohibited words. For example, the impermissible words are words showing negative emotions such as resentment, jealousy, resentment, hatred, desperation, and destructive impulses, and words used for slanderous expressions.

Functions realized by the CPU 11 of the communication device 1 executing the control program 1P will be described. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the communication device. 6 to 8 are explanatory diagrams showing screen examples. When the CPU 11 of the communication device 1 executes the control program 1P stored in the ROM 12, the first reception unit 101, the extraction unit 102, the collation unit 103, the acquisition unit 104, the second reception unit 105, the change unit 106, the transmission reception Each function of the unit 107 and the determination unit 108 is realized. In this embodiment, each of these functions is implemented by the CPU 11 executing the control program 1P, but some of these functions may be implemented by dedicated hardware circuits.

In this embodiment, the CPU 11 of the communication device 1 executes the control program 1P. Upon receiving an instruction to create a transmission message from the user via touch panel display 15 , CPU 11 displays a creation screen shown in FIG. 6A on touch panel display 15 . The screen shown in FIG. 6A displays a software keyboard for Japanese input. FIG. 6A shows a scene in which a message (character data) is input by kana-kanji conversion. Conversion candidates are displayed for the hiragana characters input by the user. The user has entered "imamakku". Then, "Ima Mac" (Mac is a registered trademark) is selected from the change candidates. FIG. 6B shows after the user has completed the selection of candidates and the conversion has been finalized. When the conversion is confirmed, the first accepting unit 101 accepts the input text. The extraction unit 102 analyzes the text received by the first reception unit 101 and extracts words. A collation unit 103 collates the word (character string) extracted by the extraction unit 102 with the logo image DB 141 to determine whether or not the word is registered. The acquisition unit 104 acquires a logo image for a word (named entity) registered in the logo image DB 141 . Acquisition unit 104 displays the logo image on touch panel display 15 as a conversion candidate. FIG. 6C shows a screen displaying conversion candidates for the word "Mac". Candidates are "McDonald's®", a mark with two arches joined together resembling an M (this mark is a registered trademark), and a bitten apple (this mark is a registered trademark). ). The user selects one of the conversion candidates using the touch panel display 15 in the same manner as kana-kanji conversion. The second reception unit 105 receives the selection result (selection information). The changing unit 106 changes the word to the logo image according to the selection result. That is, the changing unit 106 changes the display mode of the named entity to a logo.

The screen shown in FIG. 7A shows an example of the screen after changing the word to the logo image. On the screen shown in FIG. 7A, when the user selects the send button 71 and instructs transmission (output instruction), the transmission reception unit 107 receives a transmission message (named expression and character data attached to the particular expression). A determination unit 108 determines whether or not the content of the transmitted message is suitable for transmission of the logo image. Here, the prohibited word DB 142 is collated to check whether or not the transmitted message contains a word that cannot be combined with the logo image or a prohibited word. When the determination unit 108 determines that the transmission message does not contain any prohibited words, the transmission reception unit 107 transmits the transmission message including the logo image via the communication unit 16 . FIG. 7B shows an example screen after sending an outgoing message containing a logo image.

When the determining unit 108 determines that the transmitted message includes an impermissible word, the changing unit 106 changes the logo image to characters again. Characters to be re-changed are acquired from the re-change column of the logo image DB 141 . The transmission reception unit 107 transmits, via the communication unit 16, the transmission message in which the logo image is changed again to characters. FIG. 8A shows an example in which a message containing the prohibited word "Gekioko" is input. Following the message input in FIG. 7A, "But I'm very excited..." is input. In FIG. 8A, when the send button 71 is pressed, the logo image is changed to "McDonald's (registered trademark)" and then sent. FIG. 8B shows the message actually sent.

Next, the flow of processing in the communication device 1 will be described using a flowchart. FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of transmission processing. When the CPU 11 of the communication device 1 receives an instruction to create a transmission message from the user, it generates a creation screen for creating a transmission message and displays it on the touch panel display 15 (step S1). An example of the creation screen is shown in FIG. 6 and the like. The user enters a message on the compose screen. The CPU 11 determines whether or not the text has been received (step S2). For example, the CPU 11 accepts the text when the content input by kana-kanji conversion is confirmed on the creation screen. When the CPU 11 determines that the text has been received (YES in step S2), it extracts words contained in the text and compares the extracted words with the words stored in the logo image DB 141 (step S3). The CPU 11 determines whether or not there is a word corresponding to the logo (step S4). When the CPU 11 determines that there is a word corresponding to the logo (YES in step S4), it acquires the logo image from the logo image DB 141 (step S5). The CPU 11 displays the acquired logo image as a candidate on the touch panel display 15 (step S6). The CPU 11 accepts the selection result (step S7). Based on the selection result of the CPU 11, the display of the word is changed to the logo image (step S8). The CPU 11 returns the process to step S4. In step S4, it is determined whether or not there are other words that have not been changed. When the CPU 11 determines that there is no unprocessed word corresponding to the logo (NO in step S4), the process returns to step S2.

If it is determined that the text has not been received (NO in step S2), such as when the text has not been input or the kana-kanji conversion has not been confirmed, the CPU 11 determines whether or not transmission has been instructed (step S9). ). When the CPU 11 determines that transmission is not instructed (NO in step S9), the process returns to step S2. When the CPU 11 judges that transmission is instructed (YES in step S9), it makes a judgment (step S10). For example, it is determined whether or not the accepted text contains any prohibited words stored in the prohibited word DB 142 . The CPU 11 determines whether transmission is permitted (step S11). The CPU 11 determines that transmission is possible when the text does not contain any prohibited words. The CPU 11 determines that the text cannot be transmitted when a prohibited word is included in the text. When the CPU 11 determines that transmission is not possible (NO in step S11), it changes the prohibited words again (step S12). That is, the logo image is changed to the corresponding re-modified text. When the CPU 11 determines that transmission is permitted (YES in step S11), the process proceeds to step S13. The CPU 11 transmits text via the communication unit 16 . Determining whether transmission is possible or not based on whether or not prohibited words are included is an example of a predetermined criterion in the present disclosure.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when a message text including a logo image includes words (impossible words) that may reduce brand power, the logo image is changed to characters. As a result, it is possible to avoid the possibility that a negative image of the logo will be fixed. As a result, it is possible to prevent damage to the brand power of the logo. Although the logo image is used to display the logo, a font corresponding to the logo may be created. Then, a font dictionary that stores characters constituting a logo as fonts is stored in the large-capacity storage unit 14 . Instead of the logo image DB 141, prepare a table that associates the named entity with the font name. When changing the display mode, first, the font name is obtained from the named entity. Set the display font of each character that constitutes the named entity to the font of the obtained font name. Each character is displayed in a mode (another mode) corresponding to the logo stored in the font dictionary, and the logo is displayed as a whole.

When the user is inputting hiragana when composing a message, predictive conversion of an IME (input method editor) may be used. In the example of FIG. 6, when the user inputs "now", the IME may display candidates such as "now mac" and "now mac". When the user selects "now mac", the extraction unit 102 extracts "now" and "mac". The matching unit 103 performs matching with the logo image DB 141 for each of "now" and "Mac". Also, when the user inputs "ma", the IME presents a candidate "Mac", and when the user selects "Mac", the extraction unit 102 passes "Mac" to the matching unit 103 as it is. The matching unit 103 may display a logo corresponding to "Mac" as a conversion candidate. Further, the IME, matching unit 103 and acquisition unit 104 may cooperate. For example, when the user inputs "Ima", "Ima McDonald's" or the like is displayed as a candidate. In other words, instead of showing the character string "mac" for "ma" as a candidate, we predict that "ma" intends "mac", replace "ma" with a logo corresponding to "mac", and use may be displayed.

Modification 1
A modification of the first embodiment will be described. In the above description, when a logo image is re-changed to a word, the words stored in the re-change column of the logo image DB 141 are used. However, when a plurality of words correspond to one logo image, the word may be different from the word input by the user, which makes the user feel uncomfortable. Therefore, when changing the word to the logo image (step S8), the word before change is stored in a temporary storage area provided in the RAM 13 or the large-capacity storage unit 14. FIG. Then, when re-changing (step S12), the words stored in the temporary storage area (stored mode) are used. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the screen. FIG. 10 shows a screen when the logo image of the message shown in FIG. 8A is returned to text. The logo image with the two arches joined has been re-modified to the unmodified word "Mac" (entered named entity) shown in FIG. 6C. In this modified example, it is possible to reduce the user's sense of incongruity when it is changed again.

Modification 2
In this modified example, an annotation message is displayed when the logo image is changed again to words. When the logo image is changed again (step S12), it is displayed that the logo has been restored to characters. FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the screen. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the CPU 11 (notification unit) displays an annotation message (notification) below the corresponding transmission message. In this modified example, it is possible to make the user aware of the re-change.

Modification 3
This modified example is a mode in which prohibited words can be set for each logo image. FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing another example of the logo image DB. The logo image DB 141 includes prohibited word strings in addition to the logo image DB 141 shown in FIG. The prohibited word string stores words that prohibit transmission of a message when the word and the logo image contain a message. When it is determined whether or not the message to be transmitted contains any prohibited words (step S10 in FIG. 9), the prohibited words corresponding to the logo image are also referenced to determine whether transmission is possible or not. In this modified example, prohibited words can be set according to products, services, and companies that use logo images. Therefore, words that are not prohibited in all logo images but are prohibited in specific logo images are set. It becomes possible.

It should be noted that only the prohibited word string of the logo image DB 141 may be referred to without referring to the prohibited word DB 142 upon determination. Also, it may be determined which data to refer to for each logo image. On the other hand, the prohibited words for each logo image may be integrated into the prohibited word DB 142 . For example, implement as follows. A logo ID is assigned to each logo image in the logo image DB 141 . A logo ID column is added to the prohibited word DB 142, and the ID of the logo image corresponding to the prohibited word is stored in the logo ID column. As a result, the prohibited word can be associated with the logo image in the prohibited word DB 142 . In this modified example, the logo image DB 141 also functions as a word storage unit in the present disclosure.

Embodiment 2
This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the method of determining whether or not to allow transmission of a message. In this embodiment, the user's emotion contained in the message is estimated. If the estimated user's emotion is positive, it is possible to send a message containing a logo image. If the user's estimated emotion is negative, it is prohibited to send a message containing a logo image. In this embodiment, the configurations of the SMS system 100 and the communication device 1 are the same as those of the first embodiment. Since the processing performed by the communication device 1 is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, the following description mainly focuses on the differences from the first embodiment.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the emotion expression DB. The emotion expression DB 143 stores words expressing emotions. The emotion expression DB 143 includes word strings, emotion strings, and weight strings. The word string stores words that express emotions. The emotion column stores the emotions expressed by words. Here, positive or negative is stored. The weight column stores the intensity of emotion expressed by the word as a weight. Hereinafter, the positive is also called positive, and the negative is also called negative.

FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of determination processing. This process replaces the determination process (step S10 in FIG. 9) in the first embodiment. The CPU 11 compares the words contained in the message with the words stored in the emotion expression DB 143, and extracts the words expressing the emotion contained in the message (step S21). The CPU 11 acquires the emotion and weight of the extracted word from the emotion expression DB 143 (step S22). The CPU 11 calculates an emotion score from the acquired emotion and weight of the word (step S23). For example, sum the weights of the negative words. The weights of the positive words are also summed. When the same word appears multiple times, the weight of the number of times it appears is summed up as a score. The CPU 11 determines whether or not the negative score is greater than or equal to the positive score (step S24). When the CPU 11 determines that the negative score is equal to or higher than the positive score (YES in step S24), the determination result is NG (transmission not possible) (step S25). When the CPU 11 determines that the negative score is less than the positive score (NO in step S24), the determination result is OK (transmittable) (step S26). The CPU 11 ends the determination process and returns the process to the caller. That is, the steps after step S11 in FIG. 9 are executed.

In the present embodiment, whether or not a message containing a logo image can be sent is determined based on the user's emotion contained in the message. can be sent. It is possible to give flexibility to the decision as to whether transmission is permitted or not.

A learning model may be used to determine whether or not a message including a logo image can be transmitted. In the learning stage, supervised learning is performed. As the material of the message, messages including the product name, service name, or company name are collected from bulletin boards and SNS (Social Networking Service) messages open to the public on the Internet. If the logo image is a company's logo, select the collection message containing the company's name. For each of the selected messages, a correct answer of sendable or unsendable is given. Input multiple pairs of logo images, messages, and given correct answers, and train the learning model. After supervised learning, reinforcement learning may be performed by inputting only the logo image and message into the learning model and feeding back whether the answer output by the learning model is correct or incorrect. This completes the learning stage. The learned learning model is installed in the communication device 1 . In the determination process described above, a logo image and a message are given as inputs to the learning model. Subsequent processing is performed using the result of transmission permission/impossibility output by the learning model.

The technical features (components) described in each embodiment can be combined with each other, and new technical features can be formed by combining them. The embodiments disclosed this time are illustrative in all respects and should not be considered restrictive. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the scope of the claims rather than the above-described meaning, and is intended to include all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the scope of the claims.
