  In other words, the mobile phone of the present invention is in a state where the upper and lower casings are closed when the end button is pressed after making a call, when the end button is pressed when receiving a call, when there is a missed call, or when there is a new mail. When opening from the open state, on the event screen, what character is displayed, outgoing history, outgoing time, incoming history, incoming time, upper case and lower side by the case open / close detection mechanism Each character is judged from the time when the housing is in the open state, and the determined character is displayed on the display screen of the display unit.

  More specifically, in the mobile phone of the present invention, the character effect means is one of the three types of characters appearing in the number of the same number existing in the transmission history (the number of transmissions in the transmission history for each destination). In addition, one of the two patterns is determined at the time (minute) (odd number or even number) at the time of transmission.

  Further, in the mobile phone of the present invention, the character effecting means can be set to any of the three types of characters appearing in the number of the same number existing in the incoming call history (the number of incoming calls in the incoming call history for each caller). Each of the two patterns is determined at the time (minute) (odd number or even number).

  Further, in the mobile phone of the present invention, when the character effect means has a missed call and a new mail, the upper case and the lower case are changed from the closed state to the open state by the case open / close detection mechanism. When it is detected, the character is displayed, and it is determined as one of the two patterns of the character at the time (minute) (odd number or even number) when the mobile device is opened.

  Furthermore, in the mobile phone of the present invention, when the character presentation means detects that the upper casing and the lower casing have changed from the closed state to the open state by the casing opening / closing detection mechanism, The display condition for the character display is varied depending on the time (minute) when the telephone is opened.

  On the other hand, in the mobile phone of the present invention, the character effecting means varies the animation display of the character according to the current time and the success or failure of the mail transmission at the time of mail transmission. In this case, in the mobile phone of the present invention, the character effect means causes a dedicated animation display to be performed on a specific date (which can be arbitrarily set) set in the terminal.

  Thereby, in the mobile phone of the present invention, it is possible to increase the number of display patterns of animation display without occupying a large storage area in the memory and without performing the setting operation every time.

  The mobile phone of the present invention is a mobile phone capable of displaying any of a plurality of prestored characters as animations, and when various events of the own terminal are detected, character animation is displayed according to the history information corresponding to the events. By controlling the above, it is possible to increase the number of display patterns for animation display without occupying a large storage area in the memory and without performing the setting operation every time.

  Another mobile phone of the present invention is a mobile phone capable of displaying any one of a plurality of pre-stored characters. When various events of the terminal are detected, a predetermined operation related to the event is generated. By controlling the animation display of the character accordingly, it is possible to increase the number of animation display display patterns without occupying a large storage area in the memory and without performing the setting operation every time.

Stored character] is displayed.

  Each of the character presentation means 121 displays a character and a message according to the material allocation table (see FIGS. 10 to 12). This character effect is passed by pressing any key and time out with 5 seconds.

  When a character is displayed by the character presentation means 121, even if the menu button or the digit button is pressed, the menu screen or the like is not shifted. The characters and comments are displayed at the display positions as shown in FIG. 3, that is, the message display area 162 and the image display area 163.

  Hereinafter, the display method of each of the character effects on the event screens (1) to (4) will be described. In the following description, images stored in the storage area 131 of the built-in character # 1 (for normal use) and the storage area 132 of the built-in character # 1 (for anniversary) shown in FIG. It is assumed that an image stored in the download character storage area 135 shown in FIG.

  The character presentation means 121 displays the character in the image display area 163 of the display screen 161 when returning to the standby screen when the end button is pressed after calling. The character presentation means 121 determines what kind of character to display from the transmission history and the time of transmission.

  The character production means 121 has the time (minute) (odd number or even number) at the time of transmission to any of the three types of characters appearing in the number of the same number existing in the transmission history (the number of transmissions in the transmission history for each destination). Determine one of the two patterns.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, when the built-in character # 1 is selected and it is normal, when the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 1 to 2, the time (minute) at the time of outgoing is set. If the number is odd, “A1” is determined, and if the number is even, “A5” is determined. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 3-5, “B2” is determined if the time (minute) at the time of outgoing is an odd number, and “B6” is determined if the time is even. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is six or more, it is determined as “C3” if the time (minute) at the time of outgoing is an odd number, and “C7” if it is an even number. In the above case, each message is a corresponding fixed message.

  If built-in character # 1 is selected and the date falls under the anniversary function setting in the schedule function, if the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 1 to 2, the time (minute) at the time of outgoing call is odd Regardless of the even number, “A9” is determined. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 3 to 5, the time (minutes) at the time of outgoing call is determined to be “B10” regardless of whether it is odd or even. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 6 or more, the time (minutes) at the time of outgoing call is determined to be “C11” regardless of whether it is odd or even. In the above case, each message is a corresponding fixed message.

  In addition, when the built-in character # 2 is selected and it is normal time, when the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 1 to 2, if the time (minute) at the time of outgoing call is an odd number, “A13” If the number is even, “A17” is determined. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 3-5, “B14” is determined if the time (minutes) at the time of outgoing is an odd number, and “B18” is determined if the number is even. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 6 or more, it is determined as “C15” if the time (minute) at the time of outgoing call is an odd number, and “C19” if it is an even number. In the above case, each message is a corresponding fixed message.

  If built-in character # 2 is selected, and the date falls under the anniversary function setting in the schedule function, if the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 1-2, the time (minute) at the time of outgoing call is an odd number Regardless of the even number, “A21” is determined. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 3-5, the time (minutes) at the time of outgoing call is determined to be “B22” regardless of whether it is odd or even. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 6 or more, the time (minutes) at the time of outgoing call is determined to be “C23” regardless of whether it is odd or even. In the above case, each message is a corresponding fixed message.

  Furthermore, if the download character is selected, when the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 1 to 2, regardless of whether the time (minutes) at the time of outgoing is odd or even, “DL-A” To be determined. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is 3 to 5, the time (minutes) at the time of outgoing call is determined to be “DL-B” regardless of whether it is odd or even. When the number of outgoing calls in the outgoing call history for each destination is six or more, the time (minutes) at the time of outgoing call is determined to be “DL-C” regardless of whether it is odd or even. In the above case, each message is a corresponding fixed message.

  The character presentation means 121 displays the character in the image display area 163 of the display screen 161 when returning to the standby screen when the end button is pressed after receiving a call. The character presentation means 121 determines what kind of character to display from the incoming call history and the time of incoming call.

  The character presentation means 121 can display the time (minutes) (odd number or even number) at the time of incoming call in any of the three types of characters appearing based on the number of the same number existing in the incoming call history (number of incoming calls in the incoming call history for each caller). ) To determine one of two patterns.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the character displayed in the image display area 163 of the display screen 161 when returning to the standby screen when the call end button is pressed after the telephone call is the character after the telephone call (FIG. 10). The character shown in FIG.

  The characters and messages described above are displayed in the message display area 162 and the image display area 163 of the display screen 161 after making a call and after receiving a call, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, as a message, “the name or telephone number of the other party” and “the call time was ΔΔ minutes □□ seconds” are displayed together with the character. In this case, as the message, it is possible to change the ending or use a dialect according to the type of character (difference in type according to “standard”, “male”, “female”, etc.). Yes. In the case of non-notification (non-notification setting, notification impossible, public telephone), information on the other party is not displayed, but only the call time is displayed.

  In addition, when returning to the standby screen after making a phone call as described above, and when returning to the standby screen after receiving a call, priority is given to the information display from the network side, so display such as message display, frequency display, reason display, etc. When performing, the character effect is not performed.

  When the character presentation means 121 detects that the upper case and the lower case have changed from the closed state to the open state by the case opening / closing detection mechanism 19 when there is a missed call and when there is a new mail, The character is displayed, and one of the two patterns of the character is determined at the time (minute) (odd number or even number) when the cellular phone is opened. However, the character presentation means 121 does not display a character even if there is a missed call or a new mail with the upper housing and the lower housing open.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 12, when the built-in character # 1 is selected and it is normal, if the state of the mobile phone is “Missed call”, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is open may be an odd number. “D4”, and “D8” if the number is even. In the case of “with new mail”, “D4” is determined if the time (minute) when the mobile phone is opened is odd, and “D8” is determined if the time is even. In the case of “both missed calls and new mail”, “D4” is determined if the time (minute) when the mobile phone is opened is an odd number, and “D8” is determined if the time is even.

  If built-in character # 1 is selected and the day of the anniversary function is set by the schedule function, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is opened is odd or even when the mobile phone status is “Missed call” Regardless, it is determined to be “D12”. In the case of “with new mail”, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is opened is determined to be “D12” regardless of whether it is odd or even. In the case of “both missed calls and new mail”, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is opened is determined to be “D12” regardless of whether it is odd or even.

  In addition, when the built-in character # 2 is selected and in the normal time, when the state of the mobile phone is “Missed call”, if the time (minute) when the mobile phone is open is an odd number, “D16”, even If there is, “D20” is determined. In the case of “with new mail”, “D16” is determined if the time (minute) when the mobile phone is opened is odd, and “D20” is determined if the time is even. In the case of “both missed calls and new mail”, it is determined as “D16” if the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is open is odd, and “D20” if it is even.

  If built-in character # 2 is selected and the date falls under the anniversary function setting in the schedule function, if the status of the mobile phone is “Missed call”, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is opened is odd or even. Regardless, it is determined to be “D24”. In the case of “with new mail”, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is opened is determined to be “D24” regardless of whether it is odd or even. In the case of “both missed calls and new mail”, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is opened is determined to be “D24” regardless of whether it is odd or even.

  Furthermore, if the download character is selected, when the state of the mobile phone is “Missed call”, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is opened is determined to be “DL-D” regardless of whether it is odd or even. The In the case of “with new mail”, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is opened is determined to be “DL-D” regardless of whether it is odd or even. In the case of “both missed calls and new mail”, the time (minutes) when the mobile phone is opened is determined to be “DL-D” regardless of whether it is odd or even.

  The characters and messages described above are displayed in the message display area 162 and the image display area 163 of the display screen 161 after making a call and receiving a call, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, as a message, one of two messages, “I got a phone call” and “I'm coming mail”, is displayed with a character. In the case of both “Missed call” and “New mail”, both messages are displayed simultaneously.

  In this case, as the message, the ending is changed according to the character type (difference of the type according to “standard”, “male”, “female”, etc.), the dialect is used, or the message content is changed. It is possible.

  When the case opening / closing detection mechanism 19 detects that the upper case and the lower case have changed from the closed state to the open state, the character effect means 121 performs the character effect, but the time when the mobile phone is opened ( The display conditions for the character display differ depending on the minute). In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, the date and time “April 11, 12:34”, the message “Waiting”, and the character are displayed. However, the character is not displayed every time the cellular phone is opened, and there is a time zone during which the character is not displayed. This display has randomness at the tenths and ones places.

  The order of priority when displaying each character is “when there is a missed call or new mail”> “when the upper housing and lower housing change from the closed state to the open state”> “when normally opened / closed” The animation of the character is performed based on the priority order. However, at the time of auto display or priority call setting, the character effect is not performed when the upper case and the lower case change from the closed state to the open state.

  The character rendering means 121 displays a specific character on the day corresponding to the anniversary setting by the schedule function, and displays a specific built-in character on the anniversary even if download is designated.

  Further, the character effect means 121 performs the character effect even when the sound mode is set. This is because the display is for 5 seconds. The character presentation means 121 displays an English wording message in the bilingual mode. The above-mentioned message is displayed because it is necessary to notify information because the character effect is also performed in the browser.

  FIGS. 13 to 15 are flowcharts showing the effect character display determination process by the character effect means 121 of FIG. The character effect by the character effect means 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. The processes shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 are realized by the control unit 12 executing the program of the recording medium 20.

  The character presentation means 121 opens the upper case and the lower case from the closed state by the case opening / closing detection mechanism 19 when the outgoing call process or the incoming call process is performed, when there is a missed call, or when there is a new mail. It is detected that the change to the state has been detected, and that the case opening / closing detection mechanism 19 has detected that the upper case and the lower case have changed from the closed state to the open state at the normal time. Is activated, and the following effect character display determination process is executed.

  The character effect means 121 determines the character selection when determining the effect character display (step S1 in FIG. 13), and invalidates the character effect display if the standard is selected (step S3 in FIG. 13).

  Further, if the character is selected, the character effect means 121 determines the character effect in the screen display setting (step S2 in FIG. 13), and if it is set to OFF, the character effect display is invalidated (step S3 in FIG. 13). ).

  If the character effect in the screen display setting is a built-in character, the character effect means 121 determines whether or not “anniversary setting in the schedule function = the clock date of the mobile device” (step S4 in FIG. 13).

  If the character presentation means 121 is not “the anniversary date setting in the schedule function = the clock date of the mobile device”, if the character # 1 is selected in the character selection determination (step S5 in FIG. 13), the character presentation display is valid. (Step S6 in FIG. 13), the character effect image is the normal character # 1 (step S7 in FIG. 13), and the character effect message is the message for character # 1 (step S8 in FIG. 13).

  If character # 2 is selected in the character selection determination (step S5 in FIG. 13), the character effect means 121 validates the character effect display (step S9 in FIG. 13), and sets the character effect image as the normal character # 2 ( In FIG. 13 step S10), the character effect message is set as the message for character # 2 (step S11 in FIG. 13).

  If the character presentation in the screen display setting is the original image [DL (download) character], the character presentation means 121 determines whether or not “anniversary setting in schedule function = date of clock of mobile device” (FIG. 14). Step S12).

  If the character presentation means 121 is not “anniversary setting in the schedule function = the date of the clock of the mobile device”, the character presentation display is validated (step S13 in FIG. 14), and the character presentation image is set as the download character (step S14 in FIG. 14). ).

  Subsequently, the character effector 121 determines the character effect original image message in the screen display setting (step S15 in FIG. 14), and if it is pattern # 1, the character effect message is set as the download character pattern # 1 (FIG. 14). 14 step S16), if the pattern is # 2, the character effect message is the downloaded character pattern # 2 (step S17 in FIG. 14), and if pattern # 3, the character effect message is the download character pattern # 3 ( FIG. 14 step S18).

  In step S4 and S12 described above, the character effector 121 determines that character # 1 is determined in the character selection determination if “anniversary setting in the schedule function = the clock date of the mobile device” (step S19 in FIG. 15). The character effect display is enabled (step S20 in FIG. 15), the character effect image is the anniversary character # 1 (step S21 in FIG. 15), and the character effect message is the character # 1 message (step S8 in FIG. 13). .

  When the character effector 121 determines that the character selection is character # 2 (step S19 in FIG. 15), the character effect display is validated (step S22 in FIG. 15), and the character effect image is the anniversary character # 2. In FIG.15 step S23), the character effect message is set as the message for character # 2 (step S11 in FIG. 13).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the character production means 121 is set to one of the three types of characters appearing at the time of transmission by the number of the same number existing in the transmission history (the number of transmissions in the transmission history for each destination). By determining each of the two patterns at time (minutes) (odd number or even number), the number of display patterns for the animation display can be reduced without occupying a large storage area in the memory 13 and without performing the setting operation every time. Can be increased.

  Also, in this embodiment, the character production means 121 has a time at the time of incoming call to any of the three types of characters appearing in the number of the same number existing in the incoming call history (the number of incoming calls in the incoming call history for each caller). (Minute) By deciding either one of the two patterns (odd number or even number), the number of display patterns for the animation display can be increased without occupying a large storage area in the memory 13 and without performing the setting operation every time. Can be made.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the character effect means 121 has a missed call and a new mail, the case opening / closing detection mechanism 19 changes the upper case and the lower case from the closed state to the open state. When this is detected, the character is displayed, and the memory 13 occupies a large storage area by determining one of the two patterns of the character at the time (minute) (odd number or even number) when the mobile device is opened. The number of display patterns for animation display can be increased without performing the setting operation every time.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the character effect means 121 detects that the upper case and the lower case have changed from the closed state to the open state by the case opening / closing detection mechanism 19, the character effect means 121 performs the character effect. The number of display patterns for animation display can be reduced without occupying a large storage area in the memory 13 and without performing the setting operation every time by changing the display condition in the character display according to the time (minute) when the cellular phone is opened. Can be increased.

  Although the foldable mobile phone 1 has been described in the present embodiment, the present invention can also be applied to a mobile phone in which the upper housing and the lower housing are integrated, or a foldable mobile phone that is opened and closed to the left and right. . In this embodiment, the method for determining the character by combining the history information and the occurrence time is described. However, even if the character is determined based only on the history information, the character is determined based only on the occurrence time. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  The character presentation means 121 displays the character in the display area 163 of the display screen 161 after the end of mail transmission. The character presentation means 121 determines what kind of character to display from the time at the time of mail transmission and the success or failure of the mail transmission.

  In the normal time, the character presentation means 121 determines one of two patterns at the 10th place of the transmission time (minute) (even number or odd number), and displays a dedicated character on a specific day. . The character rendering means 121 also determines whether mail transmission is successful or unsuccessful, and determines a character to be displayed according to the determination result.

  The character presentation means 121 determines a message to be displayed together with the character at the 1st place of the transmission time (minutes). That is, the character presentation means 121 selects the built-in character # 1, and displays the character image A5, B6 or C7 if the transmission time (minutes) is an odd number and the transmission is successful if it is normal. If it is an even number and transmission is successful, one of the character images A1, B2, and C3 is displayed. Messages display messages # 1 to # 10 corresponding to the 1's place of transmission time (minutes).

  For example, when the mail is transmitted at “12:34” and transmission is successful, “Character Image B6” is displayed as the character and “Message # 5” is displayed as the message from the correspondence shown in FIG. Incidentally, in the case of failure, “Character image D8” is displayed as a character and “Message # 12” is displayed as a message from the correspondence shown in FIG.

  Also, if the message was transmitted on a specific day, “Character Image A9” is displayed as the character and “Message # 5” is displayed as the message when successful, as shown in FIG. From the correspondence, “Character image D12” is displayed as a character, and “Message # 12” is displayed as a message.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, instead of having a character for each event, a built-in character or a downloaded character is randomly used for each event. → The above characters can be used not only for opening but also for mail.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the amount of message data to be displayed together with the character is smaller than that for character image data, it is possible to increase the number of messages and make it appear more complicated.
