Abstract

To provide a system for improving an incoming signal in remote education and conference.SOLUTION: The invention relates to a remote teaching or conferencing system in which a first user operates a first communicator, and a second user operates a second communicator. The second communicator comprises a plurality of incoming signal output means corresponding to a plurality of modalities, and modality selection means for selecting at least one modality from the plurality of modalities. An incoming signal is output by the incoming signal output means of at least one modality selected by the selection means. The first communicator comprises modality changing means for detecting and forcibly changing the modality selected by the modality selection means. The modality changing means changes the modality being selected by the second user to another modality multiple times. The change to another modality is performed "gradually" or "abruptly (stepwise)" by multiple changes to achieve a human-friendly incoming signal tailored to a circumstance of the second user.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 27

Description

The present invention relates to information transmission technology, and was created from the problems of ICT application to remote education and conferences in particular, and is a general form of information transmission, as described below.

Since the present invention is a general form of information transmission, in addition to remote education and teleconferences, it can also be applied to remote diagnosis and medical care, remote monitoring of the elderly, remote warnings when disasters are predicted, and remote safety confirmation after a disaster. be done.
And it is an improved invention of Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-100547 [Patent Document 4]. In the following description, Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-100547 [Patent Document 4] is abbreviated as "prior application".

The present invention is similar to the prior application, but the first user operates the first communicator and the second user operates the second communicator, conveying user information from the first user to the second using any communicator It is a general system of this technology, and it is a technology that pays particular attention to "incoming signals".

<Modality>
The information communication technology term "modality" is described. "Modality" is often used but has no formal definition. As for how to use it, there are descriptions in papers, etc. that it mainly distinguishes between light, sound [voice], and mechanical vibration, which are sensed by the visual, auditory, and tactile senses of the sensory organs, and that these are measurement targets with different modalities. be. Smell, taste, and sixth sense are also considered to be extensions of modalities, but there are still few papers describing that smell, taste, and sixth sense are modalities because the measurement technology has not yet been established.

Here, light, sound [voice], and mechanical vibration are a large category M1, and minor species categorized in M1 are M2; Such a state is called the "selected state" M3 of the submodality M2, respectively. Specific examples thereof are shown in Table 1.

Hereinafter, the modality in the present specification includes the so-called modality M1, its subordinate concept submodality M2, and the selection state M3 in the submodality M2. have meaning.

<Object of the present invention>
The present invention is a system for facilitating one-or-more-one-to-one information transmission, including one-to-one, which is carried out remotely, and is particularly aimed at eliminating the drawbacks of conventional remote information transmission, which will be described later. .

<Priority search>
Using J-PLATPAT and Google, researched the prior patent application of the information transmission system with the description of "incoming call", which is the keyword of the present invention, and the document on the public web regarding the information transmission system with the description of "incoming call". bottom. (Survey date is September 30, 2021)

As a result of investigation, technology included in the "modality change" of the present invention, such as easy-to-recognize ringtones and lights that apply multimedia and media mix for incoming calls of mobile phones, etc., and unusual sounds and lights in emergencies. Documents were also found. (Patent Documents 5 to 8)

However, I could not find any prior patents or public web information containing the technology related to the present invention itself and the description suggesting the content of the present invention.
On the other hand, the inventors have invented unique communication devices called "lighting signs" and recognize that they can be effectively used in the practice of the present invention, as they are published prior art. , depending on the case, it will be a usage relationship.

Non-Patent Document 1 is an example of recent remote information transmission technology. Non-Patent Documents 2 and 3 are cited in the following description.

Apart from the uniqueness of the present invention, problems in general "remote" meetings and "remote" classes will be described. The problem simply arises from the fact that the person you are communicating with is not close enough to make contact. This is a matter of course. For example, in a "remote" meeting, if a participant goes to the bathroom without realizing it and doesn't come back, or in a "remote" class, if you think that the participant has disappeared from the screen, you will go out on a date with her before you know it, It means not going back to class.

In situations like the one mentioned above, the chairman of the meeting may go to the bathroom to arrest the potential perpetrator, or the teacher at the podium may , Since it is something that can grasp the flirting situation of a potential date couple, there was no way that the couple could escape from class.

In this way, the problems in "remote" meetings and "remote" classes are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, but many situations, so solutions must be taken for each individual situation. Here, a situation with a problem that can be solved by the present invention will be exemplified based on an actual accident.

<Case file 1: Rapid increase in students who do not attend class>
See Figure 1(a). A teacher [first user: U1] was concerned about Keiko [second user: U2] who was absent or late often. I called him to see if he caught a cold and he was fine. In short, Keiko is a habitual latecomer who sleeps over. As a teacher, I can't leave it alone, but as a teacher, I hesitate to wake up every day. This is because he is accused of stalking and sued by Keiko.

Now that distance learning has become the norm these days, Keiko's remote screen is, of course, pitch black in the morning. This teacher was helpless and at a loss. (Fig. 1(b)) On the other hand, Keiko became a complete late-night type with a satisfying morning sleep. I was now overwhelmed by the life of a woman at night, and had come to rely on drugs for mental stability.

<Case book 2: Teacher stress that can not be strictly warned about throwing chalk>
A certain teacher is called a hot-blooded choker, and when he falls asleep in class (Fig. 3(a)), the slider rotation and knuckle non-rotating high-speed choke attack the dozing students (Fig. 3(b)). Blood-stained chalk was regarded as a symbol of the passionate "blood" of student love.

Now that distance learning has become the norm, the hot-blooded choker used to gnash his teeth at the students sleeping soundly behind the remote screen (Fig. 4). Finally, the hot-blooded choker became a neurotic and became one of the truant teachers.

<Case file 3: The stress of not starting a teleconference and having nothing to do>
Mr. B was looking forward to the remote reunion with Mr. C after a long absence. However, even at 12:00, when the scheduled start time of the "sashi" conference for just the two of us had arrived, permission to enter the remote conference host C was not received at all (Fig. 6(a)). Mr. B, who had run out of numbness, called Mr. C's mobile phone several dozen times and sent the same number of SMS (Short Messages). A few days later, Mr. C was found stabbed to death in his room.

The facts are as follows. Mr. B, who has run out of numbness, goes to Mr. C's house. There, there was Mr. C, who was sound asleep and did not move even when chimes and noises were heard (Fig. 6(b)). Mr. C wakes up in the middle of the night because he forgot to lock the key, and Mr. B with his eyes sitting in the picture is reflected in Mr. C's eyes. Mr. C was astonished by its existence. Mr. C, who wakes up and yells incomprehensible otaku words. When Mr. B shook off the muddler thrown by him, he unfortunately struck C.'s carotid artery and died in a sea of blood, blood, blood. Mr. B, who was suspected of murder, is currently busy with his attorney fees.

These case files are not fictitious. Similar incidents/accidents are increasing in “prevalence” along with the corona disaster (Refer to the 2020 National Police Agency National Incidents/Attempt Accident Database, 2020 Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Survey on School Truancy/Delinquency, etc.). Urgent measures were desired. In particular, unprecedented smart countermeasures using ICT were desired.

<Supplement>
According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "FY2018 Personnel Administration Status Survey of Public School Teachers," the number of people taking sick leave due to mental illness has been around 5,000 per year since 2007, and this is a sudden increase in the corona crisis. It approached 10,000 (Non-Patent Document 2).

Also, crime is increasing rapidly in Corona. Incidents such as so-called maddening acquaintances being killed and injured, which was never possible before, occur frequently. This is proof that many people are depressed into an extraordinary mental state due to excessive stress (Non-Patent Document 3).

As shown in <Case File 1: A sharp increase in the number of students who do not attend class>, remote students were notified of the start of class, so that even those who overslept woke up and started preparing for class. The challenge is to present unprecedented smart countermeasures using ICT.

As shown in <Case Book 2: Stress of Teachers Who Can't Be Severely Warned by Throwing Chalk>, they overcame criticism of power harassment by calling attention to students even in remote classes, not turning a blind eye to behavior that led to delinquency. , We must build a mechanism that enables teachers to have the courage to remotely implement strict cautions. The challenge is to present an unprecedented smart plan using ICT that is effective in building that mechanism.

As shown in <Case Book 3: The stress of not starting a remote meeting and having no action taken>, when a remote meeting fails to contact the parties involved in the meeting, including the host, a communication route other than the meeting tool is used to call attention, Alternatively, a system should be constructed to enable emergency contact. This is not impossible with smartphones and mobile phones, but the challenge is to present unprecedented smart measures using ICT.

In addition, there are also issues that are different in nature from the smart countermeasures that have never been presented using ICT that thoroughly calls attention to the above. It is a task to call the attention of the second user gently, slowly, gradually, and gently, rather than blindly and severely.

The second user is also human. Blindly intense and severe warnings can have the opposite effect, such as going into a frenzy. In addition, there may be a case where the second user is an elderly person or a disabled person and cannot respond as quickly as the first user. At that time, I would like to call attention gently, gradually, gradually, gently.

The above-mentioned ``Unprecedented smart measures using ICT to thoroughly call attention'' and the later ``I want to call attention gently, gradually, gradually, gently, rather than strictly calling attention''. Overall, this proposal aims to present a system that can arrange such various alerts on a case-by-case basis and to arrange human-friendly alerts.

The present invention (Claim 1) is a system for transmitting information by connecting a first communicator operated by a first user and a second communicator operated by a second user by communication means. When there is information to be transmitted to two users, the second communicator generates an incoming signal to notify the second user, and the second communicator operated by the second user is one or more corresponding to multiple modalities. and modality selection means for selecting at least one of a plurality of modalities as an incoming signal, wherein the incoming signal is output by the output means corresponding to the modality selected by the second user as an output by the selecting means. and
A first communicator operated by a first user comprises modality changing means for detecting the modality selected by the modality selecting means and forcibly changing the modality, and the modality changing means is operated a plurality of times, In this system, the modality selected by the second user is changed to a plurality of other modalities, and the incoming signal output means corresponding to the changed modality outputs the incoming signal of the plurality of other modalities.

Here, the modality changing means may be provided in the master system.
That is, (claim 2), a master system connected to either the first communicator or the second communicator via a communication line detects the modality selected by the modality selection means and forces the modality. modality changing means for changing, wherein the operation of the modality changing means is executed a plurality of times, the modality selected by the second user is changed to a plurality of other modalities, and the incoming signal corresponding to the changed modality is changed. In this system, output means outputs incoming signals of a plurality of other modalities.

The second user may operate another first communicator to communicate with the first user. The other first communicator is a communicator operated by the second user to communicate information with the first communicator operated by the first user. A manner in which the second user also operates other first communicators will be described later.

In addition, the use of the second communicator includes, but is not limited to, for enhancing information transmission with the first user and with other second users, for example, for all kinds of communication Operate the second communicator.

That is, the second user may operate the second communicator to enhance communication with the first user and to enhance communication with any other user.

The second communicator is used for any purpose to improve the convenience of the life of the second user without being limited to its purpose.

The core of the present invention, which is equipped with modality changing means for forcibly changing the modality, is the first communicator or the master system, and the latter master system is either the first communicator or the second communicator and the communication means. connected through

A connection via such communication means directly intervenes in the second communicator, or indirectly intervenes in the second communicator via the first communicator to forcibly change the modality.

In particular, the modality change of the present invention has the feature that the operation is performed multiple times. It is a system that can thoroughly call the attention of the second user by executing it multiple times, or can call the attention of the second user gently, slowly, gradually, and gently, instead of blindly intensely and severely.

In addition, the second communicator operated by the second user of the present invention may be in any of the following aspects [1] and [2] (claim 3).
That is, [1] the second communicator is equipped with an information medium provided with two pieces of unique information that are linked to the two paths of the communication means so that information can be transmitted through the two paths, or [2] In the second communicator, two registered accounts that can be connected to two routes of the communication means are registered, and information can be transmitted through the two routes.

Furthermore, regarding the "modality" of the present invention (claim 6), one of a plurality of modalities consists of a plurality of submodalities belonging to the modality, and the modality selection means selects a plurality of submodalities belonging to one modality. The selection includes selecting one from among a plurality of submodalities, and the selection of the modality selection means includes selecting one from among a plurality of submodalities selected. A change of means includes a change between a plurality of submodalities belonging to one modality, and a change of the modality changing means includes changing from one submodality selection state to another selection state. Also, the change of the modality changing means includes selecting one of a plurality of modalities when the second user has not selected a modality.

The program and others of the present invention will be described later.

<Changing modalities and alerting humans>
First, "modality change" and calling attention to humans in the present invention will be explained. In human society, the red and blue lights of police cars, flashing lights at construction sites, and the sounds [voices] that call attention in human society are the beeping sound of police cars and ambulances, and the gate has been closed. Examples include the ticking sound of time. These lights/sounds [voices] are abnormal lights/sounds [voices], that is, combinations of red and blue that are not seen in everyday life, blinking flashes, beeping sounds that are not heard in everyday life. the other. I can't think of a mechanical vibration to call attention in human society. It's not appropriate, but if I had to say it, it would be an act of vibrating intimidation to drive away perverts by vibrating their bodies on a crowded train just like this bastard.

There is also a psychological theory that the poverty extortion vibration is a compensatory act of an unpopular person who is not accepted by others. In other words, in order to alert others, it is necessary to use modalities such as light, sound [voice], and mechanical vibration, which are unusual, unexpected, modalities [M1], submodalities [M2], and submodality selection states [ M3] to others is effective. Examples of this are the combination of colors of police cars, ambulances, and gates, flashing flashes, beeps, and bangs.

(See FIG. 11) The present invention has focused on the fact that modality changes, especially unexpected modality changes, are effective in alerting. I thought that it would be extremely effective if the modalities were suddenly changed to extraordinary, unexpected modalities [M1], submodalities [M2], and submodality selection states [M3]. That is, suppose that the second user operates the second communicator to set his preferred modality, for example, a cute female whining voice, in the submodality selection state. In the system of the present invention, the first communicator (Claim 1) or the master system (Claim 2) unintentionally forcibly changes the voice of a cute woman to, for example, the voice of a fat man. . This is an effective reminder.

In FIG. 11, the student of the second user operates the second communicator and is healed by selecting a dim, dull, mild light of the light modality ("Before" state in FIG. 11). . However, the teacher, who is the first user, should not do such a simple healing, and operate the system to work earnestly on learning. Then, the first communicator (Claim 1) or the master system (Claim 2) changes the second user's vague, dull, and mild light into a triple warning, which surprises the second user. A highly effective alert is accomplished ("After" state in FIG. 11).

Here, the triple alert is high-intensity lightning-like light, loud sound [voice], low-frequency sound reminiscent of cracks in the ground, and low-frequency mechanical vibration sound reminiscent of ground destruction, as shown in Fig. 11. It is a warning by the three major modality all-out attacks. These three major [all] modality all-out attacks also appear in <Case Book 2> to solve problems.

<Case book 1: Solving the problem of the rapid increase in students who do not attend class>
See Figure 2. A certain teacher [first user: U1] was going to apply the alerting function of the system of the present invention, which has already been introduced in the teacher's school, to Keiko [second user: U2], who frequently misses or is late. It's already time to start class. As usual, even at this time, Keiko's remote class multi-monitor sub-screen was pitch black. Therefore, the teacher instructed the second user of Keiko's distance learning multi-monitor display potion "A21" to click "Yes" to force modality change.

Then, from the sloppy Keiko's second communicator, two incoming signals, a waking up voice and a flashing light, were output at a timing Keiko hadn't expected, with an unbelievably high tension. Keiko turns on the power of the first communicator where the distance learning is carried out, even though she has a messy head. The teacher confirmed it in front of the distance learning multi-monitor while grinning and gloating. I was going to start today's class. In this way, a critical situation in which the number of students like Keiko who do not attend classes was suddenly averted. Keiko never saw the bottom of the abyss that greeted her as a woman in the night, and she led a wonderful life, which will be described later.
The resolution of the issue of <Case File 1> is complete.

<Case book 2: Teacher stress that can not be strictly warned about throwing chalk>
A choker teacher was troubled by troubles at home where he didn't go to school. Now, the daily clenching of my teeth has crossed the breaking point, and the moment I pick up my smartphone, wondering if I've made a bomb threat to some government agency, I hear, "I'm the principal. The test run of the new class system has been completed. I want you to be.” It was a request from the principal who took care of everything. The hot-blooded choker turned to the system monitor with a pale face that could not be called hot-blooded.

See FIG. That bastard is sleeping after all. Even with the new class system, the students are still useless. Looking at the new screen on the monitor, the blue-and-white choker felt annoyed. Right before the explosion warning switch turned on in my brain, oh, what is this? [All-modality all-out attack that can't be done with a smartphone] [Glittering/wonderful production, arranged with sensitivity] caught Choker's attention. It was an advertisement for the new system of the present invention (see Figure 5).

<Explanation>
FIG. 5 is an advertisement for the system of the present invention. During distance learning, the teacher's personal computer and the student's personal computer are connected by means of communication, and learning information is transmitted between the communicators of another route, the personal computer. This is the communication between the first user's first communicator and the second user's other first communicator.

Here, in addition to the personal computer, the student may have a smartphone as the second communicator, and in the example of FIG. 5, the penlight type IoT device is used as the second communicator. The second communicator may be dual SIM capable of using two communication lines. SIM will be described later.

Immediately, the teacher put the trial switch to sleep soundly. Then, the three major modalities of Dokkan, Glitter, and Buruburu attack the sound sleep. Wow, I was surprised and jumped up. I took out my textbook and started solving example problems. Hmm, you're willing to study. Then the sun shone through the blue and white days of the choker. Choker used to feel a sense of fulfillment in the days of blood-smeared remote training.

As a result of this, Choker became a user of the new system alerts until he was called Dokkan, Gira Gira, Buruburu Artist, and his personality became brighter. Even if the three major modalities are randomly combined, it is unlikely that they will become an effective awareness for the students. Choker, who is rich in sensibilities, has devised exquisite settings for forced modality changes one after another for each student and each place of awareness, and has accumulated achievements to become a professional in alerting the attention of the new system.
The resolution of the issue of <Case File 2> is complete.

<Case file 3: The stress of not starting a teleconference and having nothing to do>
See FIG. Mr B is accused of murder. His main business is a later career officer. A carrier is a wireless network provider for mobile phones and smartphones. The underlying cause of the accidental carotid artery hit is a thorough discussion with Mr. C, the now deceased base station construction manager, about countermeasures for the slow progress of the expansion of base stations. It was the teleconference. Despite the fact that the super-busy executive gave up valuable time, the construction manager fell asleep from fatigue. It's too bold to take away the reasoning of Officer B. Mr. B's BMP at that time was 190. Officer B, who has been suspended from execution thanks to a super-high-paid lawyer, hears rumors about a certain system. Yes, it is the alert system for case files 1 and 2.

Call the system planner. Mr. B moved quickly. Officer B became a murder suspect due to the stress of not being able to start a teleconference and having nothing to do. In order to eliminate the stress of having nothing to do, I came up with the idea of doing a remote conference support secondary line service on the wireless line that my company is expanding.

A system should be constructed to call attention or to make an emergency contact through a communication route other than the conference tool when contact information for conference participants including the host is unknown during a teleconference. This is not impossible by using mega-carrier lines for smartphones and mobile phones, but it would be an idea for late-starting carriers to use their lines exclusively for such emergency calls and offer them at a low cost.

A few years later, the remote conference support secondary line service became popular, and this latecomer carrier, which was notorious for having few base stations and being difficult to connect, regained its popularity. It is very popular because it is a dedicated secondary line that connects to people who cannot be connected. In that season, the company's own team also won the championship with a "connecting" consecutive hit batting order that led to hits. In front of the grave of Mr. C, the person in charge of the base station who unfortunately lost his life, Mr. B, with tears in his eyes, reported that he was acquitted before the expiration of the suspended sentence, thanks to the business results.
The resolution of the issue of <Case File 3> is complete.

<What is a "teacher" in the remote era?>
What is a teacher? He speaks pompously from a position 20 centimeters above the podium. From the point of view of the students, the content is nothing but silly puns. Many teachers are like that. Demoshika teachers are still rampant. It's a very difficult job to do if you're a teacher or you can only be a teacher. Then the corona era dawned and distance learning began.

There is no pulpit 20 centimeters high. Students mute no matter how pompous they speak. Yes, the curtain has finally opened on the true nature of teachers. It is symbolic that there is no teaching platform 20 centimeters high, and education without barriers between teachers and students is sought. The present invention also takes that into consideration.

In other words, teachers who cannot use computers or who do not understand the meaning of apps will be asked to become students in current ICT-oriented classes. Then, the students who are full of new game ideas playing Netoge all night are asked to take the place of the teacher and teach. No, I don't have a teaching platform, so let's talk about new game scenarios and programming ideas on the web as virtual teachers, and dreams of starting a venture and commercializing it.

Here, I will show you one answer to the aforementioned question, what is a teacher? The ability to force modality change in the remote information transfer of the present invention is the teacher. You may think so, but if you consider the distance learning between teachers and students as a place for remote information transmission, the superior authority of the first [superior] user over the second user of the information transmission field is enforced. It is only possible to make modality changes, and that is all that is necessary and sufficient.

The communicator or master system of the system of the present invention is also equipped with user rank change means for upgrading a second user to a first user or demoting a first user to a second user. may be allowed to promote the second user to the first user, which is the superior right of the first [superior] user to the second user. In other words, the student may be used as an associate teacher to conduct distance learning.

The reason why the "master system" was dared to appear as the subject of promotion and demotion here is to avoid system instability due to the communicator losing its superiority in the system due to the demotion of the first user, and to avoid system instability. This is to avoid a situation in which system control becomes impossible due to promotion or demotion of the second user, resulting in instability.

Of course, the first communicator may be promoted or demoted in consideration of such instability. And the master system is the subject of information transmission other than the first and second users, and there are cases where its existence is successful. This will be described later with an example of watching over the elderly in the description of effects.

<The purpose of life of a “teacher” in the remote age: story after the first day of the casebook>
Oversleeper Keiko became able to wake up every morning with the system of the present invention and discovered herself as a rikejo. The impetus for this was the wise decision of the teacher who always cared about Keiko. One afternoon, Keiko asked her teacher to teach her about her favorite caterpillar.

Keiko was delighted. Keiko loves gypsy moth larvae. If you look closely, the face like a smiling face is very cute. The next day, Keiko, who became the first user, spoke passionately about her knowledge to the students and to the teachers who cared about her as an associate teacher. After that, Keiko received a Ph.D. in insect virology and is still devoting herself to research at the university as a professor.

<The purpose of life of a “teacher” in the remote era: Story after the second day of the case file>
A hot-blooded choker who has heard rumors about Keiko from another school should let the students share their knowledge of the uselessness. I thought. That's right, the reason Dame Dame was sleeping all the time was because Choker's class was full of things she knew. Technically speaking, Dame Dame was gifted with the ability to "visually" comprehend complex formulas that could be applied to cryptography in mathematics.

So, with a quick glance at the DNA sequence, they could find a crisper, a palindrome of the bases AGTC. CRISPR is CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat). Twenty years later, Damame has become a university professor like Keiko, and is still conducting genetic analysis of coronaviruses.

In this way, if it is possible to set "junior teachers", it will have a large educational effect in the long term, and it will have the potential to make a major contribution to cultivating the foundations of young people who will lead the new era.

<System configuration of the present invention>
(See FIG. 10) The communication means of the present invention are broadly classified into Internet lines and wireless lines. The former may also partially construct a wireless line, and the latter may also partially go through the Internet line.

FIG. 10(a) shows the system configuration of the present invention by the first and second communicators, showing modality change of incoming signals by the first communicator.

FIG. 10(b) shows the system configuration of the present invention with the addition of the master system, showing modality change of incoming signals by the master system.

A first communicator connects to an arbitrary communication destination via communication means. The communication means may be wired or wireless, partly wired and partly wireless [wireless line], and even if you connect directly to any communication destination via a wireless main office, you may also connect via a wireless base station. The head office may be connected to any communication destination.

The second communicator also connects to any communication destination via communication means. The communication means may be wired or wireless, partly wired and partly wireless [wireless line], and even if you connect directly to any communication destination via a wireless main office, you may also connect via a wireless base station. The head office may be connected to any communication destination.

<Configuration of the first communicator>
In the present invention, the first user operates the first communicator and the second user operates the second communicator to perform one-to-one (OneToOne) information transmission.
In addition to this one-to-one (OneToOne) information transmission, for example, in remote education [class]/remote conference, the second user may perform information transmission between the first communicators.
This is indicated by the first and second user "CoM" in FIG.
It was also touched upon in <Explanation> of FIG. 5 above.

That is, the second user may also be configured to operate the first communicator.
In that case, the second user's second communicator is a dedicated communicator for alerting, and alerting information is sent over a dedicated line. Therefore, interference avoidance is clarified as a communication technique, and separation of usage is clarified, which is preferable.

Wi-Fi (registered trademark) communication and Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication are also suitable for the wireless communication and wireless lines described above.

<Cradle>
When the second communicator of the present invention is commercialized, it is preferable to use a cradle that is often always connected to a power source. It is also preferable that the cradle is USB-connected to any personal computer or the like and the power supply is also supplied via USB.

Then, a light-weight IoT glowing signboard [Sb] that can be detachably attached to Cr, or a light-weight IoT penlight that is detachable to Cr [Sp ] as the main body of the portable portable second communicator.

In other words, Cr and this portable second communicator main body have the same structure as the well-known structure in which a mobile phone or smartphone (smartphone) main body is charged with Cr.

What is characteristic here is that the light source [Light] assigned to Cr, the sound source [Speaker] assigned to Cr, and the mechanical vibration source [Vibrator] assigned to Cr are the modalities [light, sound, mechanical It is possible to make an incoming signal output according to the vibration].

In addition, the user can also attach the detachable lightweight IoT glowing signboard [Sb] to the Cr, or the lightweight IoT penlight [Sp] detachable to the Cr, to the main body of the portable second communicator. A light source [Light], a sound source [Speaker], and a mechanical vibration source [Vibrator] for outputting an incoming call signal according to the selected modality [light, sound, mechanical vibration] may be provided.

By adopting the configuration of the second communicator using the cradle in this way, it is possible to carry a lightweight IoT glowing signboard [Sb] or a lightweight IoT penlight [Sp] that is fully charged and carried from a fixed cradle. also outputs an incoming call signal according to the modality [light, sound, mechanical vibration] initially selected by the second user. Then, if the modality forced change of the present invention is made by the first user, the second user will receive an unexpected incoming call signal output not only from the main body that the second user is carrying, but also from the cradle that is fixed at a distance. Therefore, it is effective because it provides an extremely effective alert.

The sign Cr written in the drawing is the cradle, Sb is a lightweight IoT glowing sign that can be attached to Cr, Sp is a lightweight IoT penlight that can be attached to Cr, and Lgt-C is a light source attached to Cr. Light], the sound source [Speaker] that Spk-C is placed on Cr, and the mechanical vibration source [Vibrator] that Vib-C is placed on Cr. And Lgt-S is the light source placed at Sb or Sp, Spk-S is the sound source placed at Sb or Sp, and Vib-S is the mechanical vibration source placed at Sb or Sp. Since it is complicated to write these, writing is omitted except for a part.

FIG. 7 shows the significance of the second user using the second communicator in remote conferences and remote classes. If you have a second communicator and can select a modality, you can easily find yourself in a remote conference or class, and you can share your feelings with your friends who are attending the remote conference or class at the same time. In Figure 7(a), a woman is making it easier to find herself by selecting a distinctive modality, and in Figure 7(b), a man is excited by synchronizing his feelings with his peers who are attending a teleconference/class at the same time. is shown.

Figure 8 is a reference photo, showing an experiment in which a light-up signboard IoT device was adopted as the second communicator, and the prototype second communicator was tested for self-portraits in a situation similar to that used in teleconferences and classes. .

Figure 9 is also a reference photo. The second communicator of the cradle power supply type adopts a lighting signboard IoT device similar to that shown in Fig. 8. This lighting signboard IoT device is experimentally powered by a cradle to charge the built-in lithium-ion battery. This is a photograph of an experiment testing self-portrait similar to the situation used in teleconferences and classes by emitting light.

In addition, various application techniques of internally illuminated IoT devices including a glowing signboard IoT device and an IoT penlight are shown in Patent Documents 1 to 3 of the inventors of the present invention. A combined configuration in which this applied technique is applied to the present invention is also suitable and effective, but the description is omitted.

<Specific example of system configuration>
The system configuration described with reference to FIG. 10 will be described again. In the configuration of the system of the present invention, the first communicator and the second communicator may be personal computers, mobile phones/smartphones [smartphones], and any of the aforementioned IoT devices. Furthermore, it may be a communicator that is an information transmission device (communication terminal) that is not classified into these.
There are 3×3 = 9 cases in the 3 illustrated categories.

Although the case where the first communicator of the first user is an IoT device is not excluded, Table 2 exemplifies six simplified system configurations by omitting this case.

In case A, the second communicator is an IoT device, in case B, the second communicator is a mobile phone or smartphone [smartphone], and in case C, the second communicator is a personal computer.

Table 2 lists the differences from the telephone with respect to the second communicator. The phone is always waiting for an incoming signal. In today's world, when mobile phones and smartphones have become digitalized due to advances in ICT technology, always-on standby is done in the form of software, and that software is called a resident-type standby application.

In Table 2, the presence or absence of the resident standby application, or the case where the resident standby application is not executed in order to reduce the consumption of the secondary battery or the like is entered.

Table 2

<Duplication of the line of the second communicator>
The second communicator may be in any of the modes [1] and [2] below. (See Table 3)
That is, [1] the second communicator is equipped with an information medium provided with two pieces of unique information that are linked to the two paths of the communication means so that information can be transmitted through the two paths, or [2] In the second communicator, two registered accounts that can be connected to two routes of the communication means are registered, and information can be transmitted through the two routes.

In Table 3, case A is an IoT device whose second communicator has duplicated lines, and case B is a mobile phone or smart phone whose second communicator has duplicated lines. In case C of Table 3, the second communicator is a personal computer with duplicated lines.

In case A and case B, the second communicator has two SIM cards (SIM1/SIM2) indicated by SIM, and each SIM card is given a unique number called IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity). By linking this with a telephone number, it is possible to communicate independently between the main line and the sub line.

In recent years, eSIM, which is a digitized physical entity called a SIM card, has also become popular, and line duplication using eSIM is also suitable.

In case C, a personal computer has two accounts, typically the second user's personal computer, one is connected to the Internet mainly by cable such as optical fiber, and the other is connected to the Internet by wireless [wireless]. and both register their own accounts with the operator of the Internet connection system.

By registering two unique accounts, a single computer can be connected to the Internet via two different communication lines (means of communication), and information can be transmitted. That is, the line is duplicated.

Table 3

This duplication of the second user's line preferably allows the alert of the present invention to carry one line and another communication on the other line.

For example, in the above-mentioned remote class [education], the other line can be used to transmit class information for teachers and students, and the other line can be used to transmit conference information without disturbance. Dedicated line for calling attention.

<Multiple modality changes>
Multiple modality changes, which is a feature of the present invention over the prior application, will be described.
FIG. 12 shows an example in which modality changes are performed a plurality of times, in which five modality changes are performed stepwise at preset time intervals [T].

<“Gradual” Modality Change>
"Gradually" is a description to be contrasted with "slowly", which will be described later, and can also be rephrased as "rapidly" or "suddenly."calmly".

Also, "stepwise" may be stepwise. In any case, the modality change is "stepwise" at times t1, t2, t3, t4, and t5 in FIG. "Done.

Here, "Q" is the Quotation data table, which is the modality change reference data quoted by the program described later.
That is, "Q" is information data for changing the previous modality to "another modality" at each modality change of multiple times, and the change to "another modality" is executed sequentially at each of the multiple times. Shown on the computer.

OP is the operation [Operation] of the computer, Q1 is the data table of "other modalities" that the computer refers to in the operation [Op1] at time t1, and Q2 is the data table of "other modalities" that the computer refers to in the operation [Op2] at time t2. In the "other modality" data table, Q3 is the "other modality" data table referenced by the computer in operation [Op3] at time t3, and Q4 is the data table in "other modality" referenced by the computer in operation [Op4] at time t4. "Other modalities" data table.

Time t1, t2, t3... ti... is the time of the i-th execution operation [Opi] of the modality changing means, and Op1, Op2, Op3... Opi... is the i-th execution operation of the modality changing means. (Operation) is performed, and each time, the data table is referenced to change the modality to Q1, Q2, Q3 . . . Qi .

Table 4 is the Q-data table of the five multiple operations [operations] illustrated in FIG. 12, and the examples in Table 4 and FIG. The more you go, the more eye-catching, louder, and larger the modality becomes.
Q5, which is the rightmost column in any selection state [M3], is the all-modality all-out attack of the last resort in this example. This last resort is the same for other examples.

Also in Table 4, the original setting of the second user is indicated by "Q0". This "Q0" is an example in which the second user has not set the incoming call signal output as it is blank. Of course, there are cases where some setting is made instead.

Table 4

As indicated by the arrows in Table 4, each modality change interval continues the incoming signal output by the immediately preceding modality. Then, at the next modality change time, the incoming signal of the next modality is output "step by step", "rapidly", or "suddenly".

The preset time interval [T], which is the change interval, is represented by t(i+1)-t(i), where i is a natural number, and is not necessarily constant and may be changed. For example, if [T] is exponentially decreased as i increases, new modalities are changed one after another at short time intervals to output incoming signals that the second user has never felt. , the probability that the alert to the second user will be recognized will increase.

In multiple modality changes, at each change time t1, t2, t3, ti, a "stepwise" modality change is made, and "stepwise" is otherwise discontinuous in time. is the meaning of
Since the change is temporally discontinuous, an incoming call signal with a different modality is suddenly output without any delay, and the second user is highly surprised or startled.

By changing the modality a plurality of times in this manner, an unexpected incoming call signal output for the second user is realized, and the effect of alerting the second user is excellent.
On the other hand, there is a "gentle" modality change, which is described below.

<Data table "Q">
The data table "Q" is set by the first user according to the other party to whom information is to be transmitted, attributes of the second user, attributes of the region, and conditions such as weather, earthquakes, and other emergencies.

Here, the attributes of the other party and the attributes of the region are so-called static attributes that do not change significantly over time, and can be set [preset] in advance based on personal information and regional information.

On the other hand, situations such as weather, earthquakes, and other emergencies change over time, so to speak, as dynamic attributes, and the first user comprehends the situation changes at that time and rewrites the data table "Q" sequentially.

The data table "Q" can be variously arranged by selecting modalities M1, M2, and M3, and can be matched to the attributes of the destination, the attributes of the region, and the conditions such as weather, earthquake occurrence, and other emergencies. .
This versatile arrangement will be explained in the next modality extension.

<Modality extension>
Modalities are exemplified in Table 1, but various modalities can be expanded. Extension means extension from the example in Table 1. To explain this, we replace it with an algebraic expression. (Refer to Figure 13-14)

FIG. 13(b) is obtained by algebraically replacing FIG. 13(a) according to Table 1 with letters.
FIG. 13(c) is an explanation of characters.

FIG. 14 shows an extension of (a) selection state [M3] of modality, and FIG. 14(b) shows an algebraic explanation of extension of submodality [M2].

Again, in the modalities of the present invention, one of a plurality of modalities [M1] consists of a plurality of submodalities [M2] belonging to the modality, and the modality changing means changes the modality [M1]. Changing between submodalities [M2] of one submodality [M2], and changing from the selected state [M3] of one submodality [M2] to another selected state [M3] are included in modality change.
Also, changing the modality changing means includes selecting one of the modalities [M1][M2][M3] when the second user has not selected any modality.

For example, if it is an optical modality, the magnitude of luminance in the selection state [M3] of the luminance submodality can be increased in an analog manner. This is indicated by m1, m2, m2, . . . in FIG. 14(a). Similarly, you can create many shades [Spectrum] in an analog way. This is indicated by s1, s1, s2, and so on. Similarly, the period [frecency] can also be increased in an analog manner. This is indicated by f1, f2, f3, . . .

The extension of this analog submodality selection state [M3] is the same for sound and vibration modalities.

On the other hand, the submodalities [M2] are not limited to the exemplified magnitudes, spectra and frequencies. For example, for light, there are various characteristic light patterns such as sunlight, moonlight, searchlight, and lightning. For sound, there are various melody patterns. It is a characteristic vibration pattern such as a low-frequency sound that causes ground failure, an ultra-low-frequency sound that reminds of ground destruction, and these patterns may be selected.

In FIG. 14(b), the selection states of submodalities of light patterns are x1, x2, x3, the selection states of sound patterns are y1, y2, y3, and the selection states of vibration patterns are z1, z2. ,z3.

In this way, the modality can be freely expanded according to the purpose of use, so that the modality can be changed in various ways, and the variation of calling attention to the second user can also be arranged in extremely various ways.

<Multiple modality changes with extended modality>
FIG. 15 shows an example in which five modalities are changed step by step with a preset time interval [T] according to the expanded data table "Q" indicated by the algebraic modality. is set modality selection state [M3].

Execution of "step-by-step" modality change by data table Q1, Q2...Q5 with steps S1, S2, S3, S4 written in the figure and modality extensions indicated by algebraic characters, explained in the program and flow charts described below. An image is shown in FIG.
FIG. 22 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 21 around time t1 to t3.

<"Gentle" modality change>
FIG. 23 shows an image of the "gradual" modality change in execution of the "gradual" modality change from time t1 to t2 in FIG. 21, and FIG.

That is, the "gentle" modality change means that the modality is changed many times at minute time intervals Δt in the time interval of time t1→t2, for example, and this gives the "gentle" modality change effect.

FIG. 24 is an image diagram explaining a data table to be referred to when modalities are changed many times at minute time intervals Δt.

The minimum value of Δt, which is the minute time interval, is determined by computer performance, but it may be increased to the extent that the user can perceive it as "gentle", which is preferable because it reduces the burden on the computer.

A normal computer system can change the modality hundreds of times per second, and the output of the incoming signal corresponding to the change is to the extent that human sensibilities feel "gentle", "calm" and "gradual". It is good if it can be output.

Table 5 is the Q-data table for the "gradual" modality change, as opposed to the Q-data table referenced for the "gradual" modality change in Table 4.

Table 5

<Combination of "Gradual" and "Gentle">
FIG. 26 is an appeal diagram obtained by adding the combined effect of the "gradual" modality change and the "gradual" modality change to FIG. 11, and FIG. showed that.

FIG. 27 is a partial enlargement of the expectation degree graph. In this way, it is expected that the alert to the second user will increase step by step, or that the alert will be perceived gently and gently. It can be designed according to the actual situation of the user.

Table 6 is a look-up table for an example combination of "gradual" and "gentle" illustrated in FIGS. , the Q data table referenced in the execution of the "gentle" modality change from t3 to just before t4.

Table 6

The "gradual" modality change and the "gentle" modality change described above mean that the modality is repeatedly changed with a difference between the preset time interval [T] and the minute control time interval [Δt].

Therefore, there is no essential difference between the two, and the essence of the invention is that the modality is changed multiple times.

By changing the time interval between the previous modality change and the next one by mixing long, short, and minute times, it is possible to produce a wider variety of incoming signal output, which fits the diverse circumstances of the second user who is the receiver. A warning will be implemented.

<Browsing and Notification to First User>
In the present invention (claim 4), the second communicator detects that the second user has browsed the information that the second communicator wants to convey to the second user, which is notified to the second user by an incoming signal of another modality. It is preferable that a detection means is also provided, and that the output of the incoming call signal of the other modality is continued without stopping the incoming call signal of the other modality unless the information browsing is detected by the information browsing detection means.

Further, in the present invention (claim 5), the second communicator comprises an incoming call signal stop detecting means for detecting the stop of the incoming call signal of another modality, and a means for notifying the first communicator of the stop of the incoming call signal. It is preferable to have both.

These viewing and notification effects are described in the section of the effects of the invention.

<Program>
The core of the invention is the modality change part, and the core of the program is also that part. Such a program is shown in the flow chart of FIG.

That is, (Claim 7), a program for modality change of the system of the present invention, in which the computer of the first communicator performs the following steps [1] [2] [3] [4] a program that causes the computer of the first communicator to function as the modality changing means,
[1] allowing the second communicator to interrupt the operation of the communicator;
[2] detecting a modality setting of the modality selection means;
[3] changing the set modality by interrupting the modality selection means;
[4] A step of causing the incoming signal output means to output an incoming signal with the changed modality.

Also (claim 8), a program for modality change of the system of the present invention, which causes the computer of the master system to execute the same steps [1] [2] [3] [4] as above, A program that causes a computer to function as the modality changing means.

These are shown as steps [S1] [S2] [S2] [S4] in the flow chart of FIG.

<Flowchart>
The present invention preferably combines "viewing" the second user's information, detecting it, and "notifying" the first user's first communicator of the detection result. The effect will be described later. The functional flow chart of the system for "gradual" modality change, including such information "browsing" and its detection, and the operation of "notifying" the first user to the first communicator, is shown in the upper diagram of FIG. 18, FIG. 20.

Also, the system flow chart for "gradual" modality change is shown in FIG.

<Flow of “gradual” modality change>
As shown in FIG. 19, the "gradual" modality change system flow starts with step "1" of determining whether or not there is information to be transmitted from the first user to the second user. If "Yes", the process moves to "A" in the upper diagram of FIG.

On the other hand, taking over point "C" toward the end of program execution in FIG.
The step of "3", detecting stoppage of the output of the incoming call signal in 2 above and determining the stop, is determined based on the detection by the stop detection means of output of the incoming call signal, "31".

and in "4", the step of notifying the first communicator of the termination of the incoming signal;
This is done by means of notifying the first communicator of the "41" incoming signal stop and the flow is completed.

The upper diagram of FIG. 18, including flow points "A" and "B", is the operational flow of modality change described above, wherein "S1" allows the second communicator to interrupt the operation of the communicator; "S2" interrupts the modality selection means to change the set modality; "S3" interrupts the modality selection means to change the set modality; and "S4" changes the incoming signal output means. This is the step of outputting the incoming signal with the changed modality.

FIG. 20 contains the flow to flow point "C" towards the end of program execution, "5" to start measuring the output duration of the incoming signal by one "other modality", "6". is the step of detecting that the information to be transmitted to the second user has been browsed, and this is performed based on the detection by the information browsing detection means of "61".

Then, "7" is the step of continuously outputting the incoming signal by one "other modality" [without stopping]. exceeding the preset duration of .
Here, the preset time interval [T] is preset and stored in "81".

<Flow of “gentle” modality change>
The lower diagram of FIG. 18, including program points "A1" and "B1", forms part of the operational flow for the "gentle" modality change.

In the lower diagram of FIG. 18, "S1" is a step similar to "stepwise" allowing the second communicator to interrupt the operation of the communicator. "S31" is the step of quoting the modality at time ti+1, and "S41" is the preparation step of sending the quoted data to the flow after B1.

In the flow shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 18, the modality at time ti is quoted from the next modality at time ti+1 after a time interval, and the quoted data is sent to the flow after B1.

In the "gradual" modality change, the manipulation and output of each modality change in the minute time interval Δt is performed in the flow of FIG.

That is, in FIG. 25, the step "50" starts measuring the elapsed time from time ti,
"51" is the step of initializing j [setting the initial value to "1"], "52" is the step of generating and storing reference data for each Δt from the difference between Qi and Qi+1, and "53" is the transition state. Qi data storage area.

And "54" is the step of pickUP the j-th Qi(ti+jΔt), that is, the step of taking it out of "53" and executing it, and "55" is the step of incrementing j [increase the j value by one]. .

The change operation of modality change is performed when generating reference data for each Δt from the difference between Qi and Qi+1 of "52", and each generated Qi(ti+Δt), Qi(ti+2Δt ), Qi(ti+3Δt), . The difference is smaller than the individual data difference of the change.

Therefore, compared to a "gradual" modality change, a gentle, gentle, and gradual change in output is alerted.

Then, the output by the "gradual" modality change picks up the j-th Qi(ti+jΔt) of "54", and when this is executed, the incoming signal is output.

<Supplement about "transition state">
The "transition state" in the description and drawings of <"gradual" modality change> in this specification means the transition from the time ti of one "gradual" modality conversion to the time ti of the next "gradual" modality conversion. It is the time to +1.

Also, the Q-data table referenced by one "stepped" modality transformation at time ti is Qi, and the Q-data table Qi+1 of the next "stepped" modality transformation at time ti+1. • Let Qj be the Q-data table referenced in the "stepwise" modality transformation at any time tj.

Then, every time ti+Δt, ti+2Δt, ti+3Δt, .. ti+jΔt, . Δt] times of modality change is called Q-data table of transition state, Qi(ti+Δt), Qi(ti+2Δt), Qi(ti+3Δt), … Qi(ti+ 1-Δt).
The data of the transition state Q-data table is generated at step "52" in the flow chart of FIG. 25, and is temporarily stored in the storage area of "53" in FIG.

Table 7 summarizes the effects [progress from the prior art] for each application of the present application.
The master system is the entity that transmits information other than the first and second users, and there are cases where its existence is successful.

As described in Table 7, the effects of the present invention are [a][b][c][c]. In other words, [a] in distance learning [distance education], attention/confirmation can be done even on a mobile phone, but by skillfully using "gradual" modality change and "gentle" modality change, intense attention and gentle [gentle] confirmation are possible. can.

[b] In the remote conference [web conference], if the host falls asleep or has gone out, an emergency call can be made by mobile phone. By skillfully using , it is possible to give intense attention or gentle [gentle] confirmation.

[c] In remote care, the second user remotely calls and watches over the elderly or disabled people, and as a regular check for calling and monitoring, modality change and "gentle" modality change. By skillfully using , it is possible to make gentle [gentle] calls and confirmations arranged for the elderly and disabled.

Table 7

In particular, it is possible to arrange a so-called media mix call that fits the individual circumstances of the elderly, and it is possible to produce a call based on the choreography of a favorite song or dance, so it is suitable as a call that is friendly to the elderly.

Here, it is preferable that the browsing by the second user makes a response to a call, a normal reaction of an elderly person or the like for the purpose of monitoring, recognition of an evacuation instruction, and judgment of safety. To do this, we added browsing detection to the flowchart above. A known technology may be used for detection of browsing or the like.

[d] Emergency evacuation in the event of a disaster and confirmation of safety after a disaster are similar. You can make gentle [gentle] calls and confirmations arranged according to the user's circumstances.

Again, it is preferable to incorporate the above-described detection of browsing by the second user into the system, and preferably incorporate a flow for notifying the first user's first communicator of the result. To that end, notification to the first user's first communicator has been added to the above flow chart. A known technology may be used for notification.

It is also effective for the master system to change the modality instead of the first communicator as follows. (* in Table 7)

That is, the second user himself or the second user's guardian or caregiver registers/reserves a modality change under special conditions in the master system, and the master system calls or confirms the change.

Examples of such special conditions include the second user's memorandum [forgetfulness prevention], the case of calling the second user's attention to the second user's troubles that parents and caregivers predict and expect, and the like. , or a case where a person who is not the first user calls attention to himself/herself.

In this way, the master system also incorporates information transmission sources other than the first and second users into the system of the present invention, with which caregivers and guardians do not normally exchange information digitally as first and second users. It is possible to obtain the effect of effectively calling attention to an unexpected action or situation of the two users.

In addition, from the perspective that the master system realizes alerting from users other than the first and second users, first and second users such as local governments and governments in emergencies, and international emergency monitoring groups usually exchange information. Information sources that are not available are also incorporated into the system of the present invention, and the effect of alerting people in a gentle and human-friendly manner, which is effective in emergencies such as large earthquakes and emergencies, is obtained.
