  In a service using a conventional avatar, the user needs to create his / her avatar and change the state of the avatar. For example, in a service for reflecting one's own state on an avatar, it is necessary to explicitly reflect one's own state such as a free state, a meeting, or moving on the one's avatar.

  Therefore, when the user neglects an operation for reflecting his / her state on the avatar, a state different from the actual state of the user is transmitted to the third party. In general, since the state such as a meeting or moving is a busy state for the user, there are many cases in which an operation for reflecting the user's state on the avatar is neglected, and the role of the avatar can be fully exhibited. Can not.

  The present invention is made in such a background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a service capable of automatically grasping a user's state and reflecting it on an avatar. Moreover, it aims at providing the service in which a user can adjust the actual state in a user, and the state reflected in an avatar in this case.

  The present invention is characterized in that, based on information obtained from a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone, the state of a user who is the owner of the mobile communication terminal is grasped and reflected in an avatar. At this time, if the state of the user is reflected in the avatar in detail as it is, the detailed state of the user will be unobtrusive to a third party. There are few users who welcome such an unplugged state, and many users rather want to keep a part of their state secret.

And selecting the control information based on the selection result. (Claim 1)

  Information on the other mobile communication terminal 20-2 sharing the control information is determined in advance, and the step of distributing the control information to the other mobile communication terminal 20-2 is executed (Claim 2).

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the mobile communication system of the present invention includes a GPS unit 1, a call detection unit 2, a packet communication analysis unit 3, a voice recognition unit 4, an acceleration sensor 5, The mobile communication terminal 20-1 including the terminal operation detection unit 6 and the charging detection unit 7 is provided. In the user real-time information database 9, the user information collection unit 8 collects various information from a plurality of state detection means. Detection information is stored. Further, the communication function unit 13 transmits this detection information to the server 30. The server 30 is a state inference unit 31 that infers the current state of the owner of the mobile communication terminal 20-1 based on the detection information, and a state that represents the state of the owner inferred by the state inference unit 31. A state information generation unit 32 that generates information, and a control information generation unit 33 that generates control information for controlling the shape or behavior of the avatar based on the state information generated by the state information generation unit 32 are provided. Further, the mobile communication terminals 20-1 and 20-2 execute a program for controlling the shape or behavior of the avatar based on the control information and the user basic information stored in the user basic information database 10 and displaying it on the display 12. The unit 11 is provided. The user basic information includes, for example, a user ID, information for authenticating the user (password, fingerprint information, etc.), the type of avatar used by the user, and the like.

  Here, the feature of this embodiment is that a plurality of control patterns for the shape or behavior of the avatar based on the same state information are provided, and the correspondence between these control patterns and the state information is abstracted. The control information generator 33, which is stored in the database 35, receives information for selecting any one of the control patterns from the mobile communication terminal 20-1 and holds it prior to the generation of the control information. And a means for generating the control information based on the information to be selected, and the mobile communication terminal 20-1 includes a selection information transmission unit 14 for transmitting the information to be selected to the server 30 by the communication function unit 13. (Claims 3 and 5).

  The server 30 refers to the means for holding the information of the other mobile communication terminal 20-2 sharing the control information and the information of the other mobile communication terminal 20-2 held by the means for holding the control information. Is distributed to the other mobile communication terminal 20-2 (claims 4 and 6). Although not shown in FIG. 3, the means for holding and the means for distributing can be realized by providing a user management database, for example.

  Thereby, the state of the owner of the mobile communication terminal 20-1 can be transmitted to the owner of the mobile communication terminal 20-2 using the avatar. Similarly, the state of the owner of the mobile communication terminal 20-2 can be transmitted to the owner of the mobile communication terminal 20-1 using an avatar. In the present embodiment, the two mobile communication terminals 20-1 and 20-2 are exemplified, but the state of the owner of one mobile communication terminal is similarly changed between three or more mobile communication terminals. An avatar can be used for transmission to the owner of another predetermined mobile communication terminal.

  Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described in more detail.

  The service proposed in the present embodiment is transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 20-1 to the server 30 and the action of the user who is the owner of the terminal is abstracted from detailed information in the server 30. This abstracted information is transmitted to an arbitrary mobile communication terminal 20-2 after being converted into information.

  A major feature of the function of the server 30 of this embodiment is that the control information generating unit 33 has a function of converting detailed real-time data transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 20-1 into ambiguous data in the server 30. Is a point.

  Information acquired from the user's mobile communication terminal 20-1 will be described. The information acquired from the user's mobile communication terminal 20-1 is information that allows the user's current behavior to be understood.

  As an example, examples of information acquired by the GPS unit 1 include a user's current position and moving speed. Information acquired from the call detection unit 2 includes the presence / absence of a current call or a call partner. The information obtained from the packet communication analysis unit 3 is information obtained by analyzing a packet such as the presence / absence of current packet communication, identification of whether mail transmission / reception or web browsing is being performed by a browser, or identification of a connection site. The information that can be acquired from the voice recognition unit 4 is the user's emotions assumed from the conversation speed, sound pressure, etc. of the user. Information that can be acquired from the acceleration sensor 5 is the acceleration of the user. That is, when the user collides with an object or falls, the acceleration changes suddenly, so that such a state can be detected. Information that can be acquired by the terminal operation detection unit 6 is a user's key operation. In addition to these pieces of information, the charging detector 7 can obtain information such as whether charging is in progress as information of the mobile communication terminal 20-1.

  If the above detailed data is transferred as it is to the other party's mobile communication terminal 20-2, detailed data such as the user's current position and key operations will be lost to the other party. Although this service is characterized by the fact that the other party's status is known, it is generally considered that the user dislikes a situation in which his / her detailed information is unclear to a third party.

  For the above reasons, the server 30 obtains part or all of the detailed information transferred from the mobile communication terminal 20-1, and then abstracts it by the control information generation unit 33. At this time, the correspondence between detailed user information and ambiguous user information obtained by abstracting this is stored in the abstract database 35. The control information generation unit 33 makes an inquiry to the selection information holding unit 34 to know what kind of ambiguous information should be generated.

  In addition, the selection information holding | maintenance part 34 needs to hold | maintain the selection information from the user of the mobile communication terminal 20-1 beforehand. The user registers in advance in the selection information holding unit 34 a policy regarding how much his state is to be ambiguously converted as selection information.

  The registration method can individually register policies of each ambiguity such as location information, emotion information, movement information, busyness information, etc. In addition to that, specify the overall ambiguity level. The individual ambiguity setting can be automatically determined by the control information generator 33. For example, the ambiguity is classified and set as “high”, “medium”, and “low”. That is, the degree of ambiguity “high” means that it is more ambiguous than “low”.

(First Example)
As a first embodiment, an example of control information generation based on detection information from the GPS unit 1 will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. The control information generation unit 33 generates control information as shown in FIG. 4 based on the detection information sent from the GPS unit 1. The program execution unit 11 controls the shape or behavior of the avatar based on this control information received by the communication function unit 13. An example of the shape or behavior of this avatar is shown in FIG.

  Detection information from the GPS unit 1 is input to the state inference unit 31 to infer whether or not the user is moving and the moving speed if the user is moving. The inference result is input to the state information generation unit 32, and state information that can be recognized by the control information generation unit 33 is generated.

  In the present embodiment, the state inference unit 31, the state information generation unit 32, and the control information generation unit 33 are illustrated as separate blocks in order to make the description easy to understand. However, the state inference unit 31 and the state information generation unit 32 is an internal function of the control information generation unit 33, and it is not necessary to provide separate blocks. The same applies to the following embodiments.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the control information generation unit 33 acquires state information based on the detection information of the GPS unit 1 from the state information generation unit 32 (S1), and recognizes the current state of the user. When there is no movement (S2), there is no change in the avatar (S9). If there is movement (S2), the movement speed information is extracted (S3), and if the movement speed is 4 km / h or less, control information “walking avatar” is generated as shown in FIG. S4). If the moving speed is 10 km / h or less, control information “run avatar” is generated as shown in FIG. 5B (S5). Further, if the moving speed is 10 km / h or more and the same route as that of the public transportation means (train) is followed (S6), it means that the public transportation means (train) is used. ), Control information “get on the avatar train” is generated (S7). Also, if the moving speed is 10 km / h or more and it does not follow the same route as the public transportation means (train) (S6), it uses a transportation means (automobile) other than the public transportation means (train). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5D, control information “get on the avatar car” is generated (S8). In addition, a display indicating the moving direction or a display indicating the current position such as an address can be displayed on each avatar display.

  Here, as a feature of the present embodiment, a part of the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 can be invalidated according to the selection information from the user held in the selection information holding unit 34. For example, when the ambiguous policy registered by the user is “medium”, the flow (S6, S7, S8) in the portion surrounded by the broken line in FIG. 4 is invalidated. Further, the branch condition “less than 10 km / h” in step S3 is changed to “over 4 km / h”.

  As a result, as the display by the avatar, only two of “Avatar walk” or “Avatar run” are displayed according to the moving speed of the user (threshold value 4 km / h), and “Avatar train ride” and “Avatar car” “Ride” is not displayed.

  If the ambiguous policy registered by the user is “high”, the flow (S3, S5 to S8) in the portion surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 4 is invalidated. Further, the YES branch of step S2 and step S4 are directly connected. Thereby, as the display by the avatar, only “walking avatar” is displayed regardless of the moving speed as the user moves.

  In addition, when displaying information on the current position of the user together with each avatar display, if the policy is “low”, a detailed address is displayed according to the ambiguous policy registered by the user. If "", the name of the town can be displayed, and if the policy is "High", the name of the prefecture can be displayed.

(Second embodiment)
As a second embodiment, an example of control information generation based on detection information from the voice recognition unit 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The control information generation unit 33 generates control information as shown in FIG. 6 based on the detection information sent from the voice recognition unit 4. The program execution unit 11 controls the shape or behavior of the avatar based on the control information received by the communication function unit 13. An example of the shape or behavior of this avatar is shown in FIG.

  Detection information from the voice recognition unit 4 is input to the state inference unit 31 to infer the sound pressure and conversation speed during the user's call. The inference result is input to the state information generation unit 32, and state information that can be recognized by the control information generation unit 33 is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the control information generation unit 33 acquires state information based on the detection information of the voice recognition unit 4 from the state information generation unit 32 (S10), and recognizes the current state of the user.

  The control information generating unit 33 holds the previous sound pressure and conversation speed information, and compares this with the current sound pressure and conversation speed information to extract changes (S11). As a result, if there is no change (S12), the avatar is also unchanged (S13). If the sound pressure and the conversation speed are higher than the previous time (S12), it is understood that the user is in an excited state compared to the previous time. Further, the degree of excitement is classified from the degree of change in sound pressure and conversation speed (S15), and when the degree of excitement is small, control information “avatar excitement (small)” is generated as shown in FIG. (S18). When the degree of excitement is medium, control information “avatar excitement (medium)” is generated as shown in FIG. 7B (S17). If the degree of excitement is large, control information “Avatar excitement (large)” is generated as shown in FIG. 7C (S16). If the sound pressure and the conversation speed are lower than the previous time (S12), it is understood that the user is in a calm state compared to the previous time, so as shown in FIG. Control information "Avatar calm" is generated (S14).

  Here, as a feature of the present embodiment, a part of the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 can be invalidated according to the selection information from the user held in the selection information holding unit 34. For example, when the ambiguous policy registered by the user is “medium”, the flow (S16) in the portion surrounded by the broken line in FIG. 6 is invalidated. As a result, the display of “avatar excitement (large)” shown in FIG. 7C is not performed as the display by the avatar.

  Further, when the ambiguous policy registered by the user is “high”, the flow (S16, S17) in the portion surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 6 is invalidated. Thereby, as the display by the avatar, only “avatar excitement (small)” shown in FIG. 7A or “avatar calm” shown in FIG. 7D is displayed.

(Third embodiment)
As a third embodiment, an example of control information generation based on detection information from the communication detection unit 2, the packet communication analysis unit 3, and the terminal operation detection unit 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The control information generator 33 generates control information as shown in FIG. 8 based on the detection information sent from the communication detector 2, the packet communication analyzer 3, and the terminal operation detector 6. The program execution unit 11 controls the shape or behavior of the avatar based on this control information received by the communication function unit 13. An example of the shape or behavior of this avatar is shown in FIG.

  Detection information from the communication detection unit 2, the packet communication analysis unit 3, and the terminal operation detection unit 6 is input to the state inference unit 31, and the user's call state, packet communication state, and terminal operation state are inferred. The inference result is input to the state information generation unit 32, and state information that can be recognized by the control information generation unit 33 is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the control information generation unit 33 acquires state information based on the detection information of the communication detection unit 2, the packet communication analysis unit 3, and the terminal operation detection unit 6 from the state information generation unit 32 (S20). The user's current call state, packet communication state, and terminal operation state are recognized (S21).

  As a result, if all calls, packet communications, and terminal operations are not frequent (S22), control information “Avatar doze” is generated as shown in FIG. 9A (S26). If there are many calls (S23), control information “Avatar on call” is generated as shown in FIG. 9B (S27). If there are many packet communications (S24) and the communication destination is a game site (S25), control information “Avatar game in progress” is generated as shown in FIG. 9D (S29). If the notification destination is mail (S25), control information “Avatar mail is in progress” is generated as shown in FIG. 9E (S30). If the communication destination is Web browsing (S25), control information “Avatar Web browsing is in progress” is generated as shown in FIG. 9F (S31).

  Here, as a feature of the present embodiment, a part of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 can be invalidated according to the selection information from the user held in the selection information holding unit 34. For example, when the ambiguous policy registered by the user is “medium”, the flow (S29) in the portion surrounded by the broken line in FIG. 8 is invalidated. As a result, the display of “in avatar game” shown in FIG. 9D is not performed as the display by the avatar.

  Further, when the ambiguous policy registered by the user is “high”, the flow (S29, S31) in the portion surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 8 is invalidated. As a result, as the display by the avatar, the display of “in avatar game” shown in FIG. 9D and the “in avatar web browsing” state shown in FIG. 9F is not performed.

(Fourth embodiment)
As a fourth embodiment, an example of control information generation based on detection information from the GPS unit 1 and the acceleration sensor 5 will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. The control information generation unit 33 generates control information as shown in FIG. 10 based on the detection information sent from the GPS unit 1 and the acceleration sensor 5. The program execution unit 11 controls the shape or behavior of the avatar based on this control information received by the communication function unit 13. An example of the shape or behavior of this avatar is shown in FIG.

  Detection information from the GPS unit 1 and the acceleration sensor 5 is input to the state inference unit 31 to infer the user's moving speed and acceleration state, respectively. The inference result is input to the state information generation unit 32, and state information that can be recognized by the control information generation unit 33 is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the control information generation unit 33 acquires state information based on the detection information of the GPS unit 1 and the acceleration sensor 5 from the state information generation unit 32 (S40), and obtains the current moving speed and acceleration of the user. Recognize each (S41).

  As a result, if there is no sudden acceleration change (S42), control information “no avatar change” is generated (S45). Alternatively, even if there is a sudden change in acceleration (S42), if there is no change in moving speed (S43), control information “no avatar change” is generated (S45).

  If there is a sudden acceleration change (S42) and the moving speed indicates a stop (S43), it can be determined that there is a high probability that the user has collided with or fell over an object. At this time, it can be inferred that the larger the moving speed immediately before the stop, the larger the accident scale. Therefore, FIG. ) Control information “Avatar accident (large)”, “avatar accident (medium)” as shown in FIG. 11B, and “avatar accident (small)” as shown in FIG. Each is generated (S46, S47, S48).

  Here, as a feature of the present embodiment, a part of the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 can be invalidated according to the selection information from the user held in the selection information holding unit 34. For example, when the ambiguous policy registered by the user is “medium”, the flow (S46) in the portion surrounded by the broken line in FIG. 10 is invalidated. Thereby, the display of the state of “avatar accident (large)” shown in FIG. 11C is not performed as the display by the avatar.

  Further, when the ambiguous policy registered by the user is “high”, the flow (S46, S47) in the portion surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 10 is invalidated. As a result, the display of “avatar accident (medium)” shown in FIG. 11B and “avatar accident (large)” shown in FIG.

(Other examples)
In addition to the first to fourth embodiments, when the charging detection unit 7 detects charging, control information “charging avatar” can be generated.

  In the present embodiment, when installed in a general-purpose information processing apparatus, the mobile communication terminals 20-1 and 20-2 or the server 30 according to the present embodiment are installed in the information processing apparatus. , And can be realized as a program for executing each procedure shown in FIG. This program is recorded on a recording medium and installed in the information processing apparatus, or installed in the information processing apparatus via a communication line, whereby the mobile communication terminals 20-1, 20-2 or The function of causing the server 30 to execute the procedures of FIGS. 4, 6, 8, and 10 can be realized.

  Here, the general-purpose information processing apparatus is, for example, a microprocessor installed in the mobile communication terminals 20-1 and 20-2. Alternatively, it is a processor mounted on the server 30.

  In the present embodiment, the state inference unit 31, the state information generation unit 32, the control information generation unit 33, the selection information holding unit 34, and the abstract database 35 have been described as functional blocks included in the server 30. This is because a plurality of mobile communication terminals can use one server 30 in common, so it has been described as such from the viewpoint of effective use of resources, but the configuration in which the mobile communication terminal has all these functional blocks is excluded. Not what you want.
