JP4853827B2 - Mobile terminal, alarm output control method, and alarm output control program - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile terminal that outputs an alarm as a sound when a predetermined event occurs, an alarm output control method, and an alarm output control program, and in particular, outputs an alarm according to a current location such as a company or a hospital. The present invention relates to a mobile terminal, an alarm output control method, and an alarm output control program.

  Mobile terminals such as mobile phones can generate various alarms using sound, for example, for schedule management. If one or several times are set in advance, an alarm such as a melody can be output from the speaker at a predetermined volume at that time. Since the mobile terminal is a device carried by each person, it is convenient to use the alarm function at various places such as travel destinations.

  However, there are many places where alarm sounds should not sound. It is not preferable that the alarm once set on the mobile terminal is sounded at home instead of being sounded at work or on the train. In many cases, he / she hesitates to set an alarm to prevent the alarm from sounding in such a place where it should not sound. As a result, the alarm function may not be used in a place where an alarm may be sounded, and an important time may not be noticed.

Therefore, a proposal has been made to detect the current position of the mobile terminal and turn on / off the alarm function in accordance with this (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this proposal, alarm output on / off is set in advance for each location such as a company or home. Then, the current position of the mobile terminal is determined by latitude and longitude, and the alarm function is turned on / off according to the determined location.
JP 2002-330470 A (paragraph 0016, FIG. 3)

  However, in this proposal, since the alarm function is turned on / off only at a place, there is a problem that the control for the alarm is rough and often does not match the actual situation of society. For example, there are many assumptions that an alarm should not sound at a company but an alarm may sound at home. However, it is not always preferable that an alarm be sounded at home during holidays. In some cases, it is better to have an alarm sound within a company.

  As described above, the alarm for schedule management has been mainly described. However, there is a similar problem with respect to the output mode of the alarm as a sound such as whether the ringing tone of the telephone is output from the speaker or is switched to the vibration using the vibrator. .

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal, an alarm output control method, and an alarm output control program capable of realizing fine alarm function management.

In the present invention, (a) the name of each place such as a predetermined facility where the output of an alarm as a sound may be regulated by a social request unrelated to the convenience of an individual user, from a comprehensive name. A dictionary in which individual specific names are classified hierarchically and the specific names are registered in association with the location information of the respective locations, and (b) the above-described comprehensive names or specific names (C) a dictionary search unit for searching the dictionary with the name input by the input unit; and (d) a name for which a match is detected by the search of the dictionary search unit. If the name is a specific name, the position information corresponding to each of the specific names belonging to the name is associated with the alarm, and the name where the match is detected is the specific name. In And location-specific output form associating means for associating the alarm location information described above to respond, by (e) a position detector for detecting a current position, (to) by location output form association means the position detecting unit has the while detecting the associated position and the position information by the alarm mode setting means for setting the form of the alarm to the corresponding output form the mobile terminal comprises.

Also, in the present invention, (a) the name of each place such as a predetermined facility that may be controlled by a social request unrelated to the convenience of each user is comprehensively included. The above-mentioned comprehensive names or specific names described in a dictionary in which specific names and position information of each place are registered in association with each other are classified hierarchically from names to individual specific names. An input step for inputting a name; (b) a dictionary search step for searching the dictionary with the name input in this input step; and (c) a name for which a match is detected by the search in this dictionary search step. In the case of a specific name, the position information corresponding to each of the specific names belonging thereto is associated with the alarm described above, and the name where the match is detected is the specific name described above. Is a location-specific output mode correspondence step for associating an alarm that the positional information corresponding to the name if it is referred, a position detection step of detecting a current position of (d) the mobile terminal, (e) the position detecting while detecting the position associated with the location-specific output mode correspondence step described above in step, the position information by the alarm mode setting step and the alarm output control method for setting the form of alarm output form corresponding is It has .

Furthermore, in the alarm output control program of the present invention, it is determined in advance that there is a possibility that the output of the alarm as a sound (b) may be regulated by a social request unrelated to the convenience of each user. The names of each location, such as a facility, are classified hierarchically from comprehensive names to individual specific names, and written in a dictionary in which specific names and location information of each location are registered in association with each other. (B) a dictionary search process for searching the dictionary with the name input by the input process, and (c) a dictionary search process. When the name detected by the search is the above-mentioned comprehensive name, the position information corresponding to each of the specific names belonging to the name is associated with the alarm, and And location-specific output mode correspondence processing for associating an alarm that the positional information corresponding to the name in the case name match is found the being a specific nomenclature described above, the current position of (d) the mobile terminal (E) a position where an alarm form is set in the corresponding output form while the position associated by the location-specific output form association process is detected in this position detection process. It is characterized in that information-specific alarm form setting processing is executed.

As described above, according to the present invention, a specific place is searched by its name using a dictionary, and an alarm output form as a sound is associated with a target place. Then, the current position is detected, and the alarm form is set as the corresponding output form while the position of the target place is detected. Therefore, for example, when searching for “hospital” as a comprehensive name, it is possible to easily set an alarm output form as a sound to a preset form without searching for the name of each hospital.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples.

  FIG. 1 shows an outline of an alarm output control system using a mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention. This alarm output control system 100 is a system for controlling an alarm function of a mobile phone 102 as a mobile terminal possessed by a user 101. For example, when the user 101 is at home 103, on the train 104, or when working at the company 105, the response to an event such as an incoming call may differ. is there. Specifically, a ringing tone as an alarm is generated, a call is made with vibration by a vibration function, or nothing is done.

  In the alarm output control system 100 of the present embodiment, the output form of the alarm as sound is linked to the place. For this reason, in order to specify the current position, the communication satellite 111 constituting the GPS (Global Positioning System) is used, or the position information is obtained from the mutual relationship of the base station 113 connected to the mobile communication network 112. A determination is made. The mobile phone 102 itself has a built-in schedule function 114 so that the user 101 can set a schedule (or output form) to be prioritized in relation to the alarm output form. Thus, for example, in a company where the user 101 is set not to ring an incoming call, a ringing tone can be output when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  FIG. 2 shows a main part of the circuit configuration of the mobile phone of this embodiment. The cellular phone 102 includes a telephone control unit 121 that controls the entire telephone including transmission / reception processing. The telephone control unit 121 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 122 and a program storage unit 123 that stores a program executed by the CPU 122. The telephone control unit 121 is connected to a battery 124 and is connected to the following units in the apparatus together with the power supplied thereby.

  Among these, the baseband processing unit 125 is connected to an RF (Radio Frequency) processing unit 127 to which an antenna 126 is connected, a speaker 128, and a microphone 129. The RF processing unit 127 demodulates the reception signal obtained from the antenna 126 and converts it into a reception baseband signal. Further, the transmission baseband signal is modulated, converted into a transmission signal, and transmitted. The baseband processing unit 125 extracts reception data from the reception baseband signal converted by the RF processing unit 127. Then, an audio signal is generated and amplified from the extracted received data and supplied to the speaker 128 to reproduce the audio. In addition, the baseband processing unit 125 inputs an electrical signal corresponding to voice from the microphone 129 and generates a transmission baseband signal for sending to the other party.

  The clock unit 131 measures the date and time, and notifies the telephone control unit 121 of an alarm when the current time reaches the set alarm time. The operation unit 132 includes dial keys (not shown) and various function keys, and inputs data corresponding to these keys by the operation of the user 101 shown in FIG. The display unit 133 is configured by one or a plurality of liquid crystal displays or organic displays, and outputs visual information such as characters and graphics.

  The memory 134 is composed of a storage medium such as a semiconductor memory that is also used as the program storage unit 123 as necessary, and stores various data and fixed data necessary when the CPU 122 executes the program. It has become. Among these, the specific place registration unit 135 is an area in which a place where the user 101 may regulate the output of the alarm is divided into several groups and registered as specific places. The location-specific alarm registration unit 136 is an area in which an alarm output form is set and registered in relation to the location. The priority schedule registration unit 137 is an area for registering, as a schedule, priority items for changing the alarm output form in units of groups for all or some of the groups registered by the location-specific alarm registration unit 136. The dictionary 138 is registered in advance in association with position information for various places and routes.

  The position information detection unit 139 detects the current position of the mobile phone 102 by receiving radio waves of time signals with high accuracy from a plurality of communication satellites 111 shown in FIG. The detected current position is stored in the corresponding area of the memory 134. However, if it is only necessary to detect a rough position to some extent, the position information of the place where the communicating base station 113 (see FIG. 1) is arranged is extracted from the received signal and temporarily stored in the memory 134. That's fine. It is also possible to detect the current position of the mobile phone 102 with relatively high accuracy from the positional information of each of a plurality of base stations that can communicate at the same time and the distance relationship estimated from the intensity of radio waves that arrive from them. When the position of the mobile phone 102 changes due to movement, the position information detection unit 139 overwrites the corresponding area in the memory 134 with the new position information.

  FIG. 3 shows the flow of registration in the specific location registration unit shown in FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the specific place is a place where alarm output regulation as a sound is grouped, such as a company, work place, moving, and home. There is no need for special management on the user 101 side where there are no restrictions for 24 hours, 365 days for various alarms such as incoming calls, e-mails, and battery charging prompts. Therefore, the place where the alarm output is not restricted is not a specific place of the present embodiment.

  The user 101 illustrated in FIG. 1 operates the operation unit 132 of the mobile phone 102 illustrated in FIG. 2 to set the specific location registration mode. In this state, an instruction to acquire position information is displayed on the display unit 133 (step S201). Whether the user registers a specific place with respect to the current position, or obtains and registers position information from the dictionary 138 for a specific place, facility, or route (hereinafter collectively referred to as a place). Is selected (step S202, step S203).

  When the user 101 selects acquisition of the current location information (step S202: Y), the mobile phone 102 uses the information obtained from the communication satellite 111 or the base station 113 shown in FIG. Is acquired (step S204). A location that is not listed in the home or the dictionary 138 is acquired using the mobile phone 102 when the user 101 is at the location.

  On the other hand, for relatively famous places such as movie theaters and hospitals that are listed in the dictionary 138, and those that cannot be determined by a single point, such as in the Shinkansen and private railways, or in the local bus, search the dictionary. It is convenient to select. When the dictionary search is selected (step S203: Y), although not shown in detail, the user 101 inputs the name of the place from the operation unit 132 and displays the corresponding place. Reading is performed (step S205). Of course, even if a specific name is not input from the operation unit 132, the classification item may be displayed on the display unit 133 and sequentially selected to reach a place to be designated. For example, you may arrive at the hospital called “Shinjuku General Hospital” via the “hospital” from the item “medical”.

  If this dictionary search is selected, the name of the specific hospital or facility such as “Shinjuku General Hospital” or “Yodohashi Clinic” must be specified if the same treatment is performed for alarms in “hospital” in general. However, it is possible to stop the location designation in the group “Hospital”. However, when a place is comprehensively designated in the group “hospital”, all target position information within the range registered in the dictionary 138 is read.

  Similarly, when a route is designated, a corresponding position information group or a position information calculation formula is read out. For example, when “ABC Express Line Train” is designated, a group of position information on routes other than the station premises or a calculation formula for position information leading to this is registered. The reason for excluding the station premises is that calls are not restricted within the station premises, so it is impossible to distinguish whether the user 101 is on a stopped train in the premises or at another place such as a platform. When the position information group data is enormous, the route is limited to the boarding section of the user 101 or only the route identification information is registered in the dictionary 138, and the mobile communication network 112 shown in FIG. The position information corresponding to this identification information may be acquired sequentially from a server dedicated to position information (not shown) on the Internet.

  When the position information of the specific place is acquired in step S204 or step S205, a classification instruction for the specific place is displayed on the display unit 133 (step S206). This is a measure for grouping similar places that perform the same processing.

FIG. 4 shows a display example of a classification instruction for a specific place. In this example, the following (1) to (4) are selected.
(1) Company, work place (2) Home (3) Other (4) Specific classification name ()

  Here, if it is difficult to classify collectively as “Other” in (3) due to the schedule described later, the classification name is put in brackets of “Specific classification name” in (4). By registering, one specific location with the same classification name can be registered or grouped and registered. For example, when performing a circle activity in several places, the name of the circle activity may be registered here.

  When the user 101 selects the position information acquired in step S204 or step S205 as any one of the specific locations (1) to (4), the user 101 selects the displayed “registration” button (step S207: Y). Thereby, the location information and the specific location are registered in the specific location registration unit 135 in a linked form (step S208).

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the registration contents of the specific location registration unit. Here, specific locations are classified as “company, work location”, “home”, “commuter train”, and “others”, and specific locations in Tokyo City and XY City, Kanagawa Prefecture are a combination of latitude and longitude. Is displayed. Here, for the sake of illustration, the latitude and longitude are respectively displayed in a simplified manner up to four digits after the decimal point. As for the “commuter train”, the ABC express line between Shinjuku and DEF and the entire JKL line are registered in the specific location registration unit 135 as specific locations.

  In FIG. 3, the registration process to the specific location registration unit 135 has been described, but the user 101 can also perform registration change and deletion processes by operating the mobile phone 102. The registration can be changed or deleted when the user goes to the corresponding place or by inputting the place in the dictionary 138. A description of this process is omitted.

  FIG. 6 shows a flow of location-specific alarm registration processing for registration in the location-specific alarm registration unit. This will be described with reference to FIGS. The user 101 operates the operation unit 132 of the mobile phone 102 to set the location-specific alarm registration processing mode. When this mode is set, a specific place list is displayed on the display unit 133 (step S221).

  FIG. 7 shows a state where the specific place list is displayed on the display unit. The display unit 133 displays a list of specific locations registered in the specific location registration unit 135 (FIG. 3), and instructs the user 101 to specify specific locations where alarms are registered or corrected. Here, “Registered” is displayed for “company, work place” and “home” because the user 101 has already registered the alarm. Of course, the user 101 can call and correct the contents of alarms already registered.

  “Commuters” and “Others” are in an “unregistered” state in which an alarm has not yet been registered. In such a case, the mobile phone 102 of this embodiment sets the alarm to “ON” as an initial setting. Therefore, for example, when there is an incoming call, a ringing tone as an alarm is output regardless of whether the user is on the “commuter train” or “other”. When the user 101 registers an alarm for a specific location such as “commuter train”, for example, this item is designated with a cross key or a numeric keypad (not shown) of the operation unit 132, and a “select” button is designated (pressed). )

  Returning to FIG. 6, the description will be continued. When the user 101 selects an item at a specific location (step S222: Y), a display screen (not shown) is displayed on the display unit 133 to select whether to change the alarm to “off” or “on” ( Step S223, Step S224). When the alarm is changed to OFF (step S223: Y), the alarm at the specific location is registered as OFF (step S225). If the alarm is changed to ON (step S224: Y), the alarm at the specific location is registered as ON (step S226).

  When the above registration (including change) is performed for one specific location item, if an instruction to continue the processing is input (step S227: N), the process returns to step S221 to return the specific location item. Processing is performed. When an instruction to end the process is input (step S227: Y), the alarm registration process ends (end). The result of the above alarm registration process is registered in the location-specific alarm registration unit 136 of the memory 134.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of registration contents of the location-specific alarm registration unit. In the location-specific alarm registration unit 136, alarm on / off states are registered for four specific locations, “company / work location”, “home”, “commuter train”, and “other”. Here, the alarm “off” means a form in which no alarm sound is output from the speaker 128 shown in FIG. 2, and the alarm “on” means that an alarm sound is output from the speaker 128 when an event that outputs an alarm occurs. An output form.

  Here, it is divided into several specific locations, and alarms are turned on / off for each location. Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 1 described above, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation where an alarm is sounded by mistake in a place where the alarm should not be sounded. However, in reality, there are cases where the alarm should not be sounded depending on the time even where the alarm can be sounded. In addition, when the person in charge of disaster prevention is called from the headquarters by an emergency instruction telephone regarding disaster prevention, it may be permitted to sound an alarm even when riding in public transportation. Assuming such various cases, the priority schedule registration process is to register exceptions to the alarm on / off setting registration.

  FIG. 9 shows the flow of the priority schedule registration process. This will be described with reference to FIGS. The user 101 operates the operation unit 132 of the mobile phone 102 to set the priority schedule registration processing mode. When this mode is set, a specific location list is displayed on the display unit 133 (step S251). Here, the user 101 selects a specific location where an exception of the location-specific alarm registration processing of FIG. 6 is to be determined (step S252: Y). Therefore, when there is no problem in all the contents registered in the location-specific alarm registration unit 136, it is not necessary to perform the priority schedule registration process.

  FIG. 10 shows a state where the specific location list is displayed on the display unit. The display unit 133 displays a list of specific locations registered in the specific location registration unit 135 (FIG. 3), and instructs the user 101 to specify a specific location where the priority schedule is registered or corrected. The user 101 can call and correct the contents of the registered priority schedule again. In this example, it is assumed that the user 101 shown in FIG. 1 designates “company / work location” with the cross key or the numeric keypad of the operation unit 132 shown in FIG. 2 and designates (presses) the “select” button. Continue.

  In FIG. 9, when the user 101 designates the “select” button (step S252: Y), in this example, a priority schedule list corresponding to “company, work place” is displayed on the display unit 133 (step S253). Here, the user 101 selects a corresponding item from the displayed items. Although the items are preset, the user 101 can add or edit them if necessary. Here, items such as “time zone”, “incoming telephone number”, and “conference” are prepared for selection by the user 101 (steps S254 to S256). When the user 101 selects the item “time zone” (step S254: Y), as shown in FIG. 8, “on” is set as an exception that the alarm is “off” in “company, work place”. Time zone setting registration can be performed (step S257).

  FIG. 11 shows an example of an operation screen that appears on the display unit during the exceptional time zone registration process in step S257 of FIG. The display unit 133 confirms and displays that the alarm is set to “OFF” for “company, work place”, and as an exception to this, requests the input of the time zone when the alarm is set to “ON”. Since the contents of the exception time zone registration process performed previously are also displayed on the display unit 133, the user 101 can not only perform a new exception registration process but also check and correct the registration contents. is there.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, from 12:10 to 12:50 on weekday lunch breaks that are working days, I spend my private time at a restaurant or coffee shop away from the office or work place. Various alarms such as incoming calls are turned on. Further, in the case of a holiday attendance, “ON” is similarly set as an exception from 10:00 to 14:00. The user 101 designates (presses) the “Register” button after inputting the exceptional time zone, whereby the content is registered (overwritten) in the priority schedule registration unit 137 (step S257).

  In FIG. 9, when the user 101 selects the “incoming phone number” item (step S 255: Y), the calling side of the calling side that turns “on” as an exception that the alarm is “off” in “company, work place”. The telephone number can be set and registered (step S258). If the user 101 selects the item “conference” (step S256: Y), the alarm setting for the conference that is “on” as an exception that the alarm is “off” in “company, work place”. Registration can be performed (step S259). Similarly, the user 101 can select an item for which an exception is to be provided from the priority schedule list and perform an exceptional change process for the alarm.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of the operation screen that appears on the display unit during the exceptional telephone number registration process in step S258 of FIG. The display 133 confirms that the alarm is set to “off” for “company, work place”, and as an exception to this, the other party's phone that turns on the ringing tone (alarm) for incoming calls. You are prompted for a number. Since the incoming telephone number that is the exception made before is also displayed on the display unit 133, the user 101 can not only perform the process of newly registering the exception, but also check and correct the registration contents. . In the example shown in FIG. 12, on weekdays that are work days, a telephone call can be made from a supervisor on the go. In the case of holiday work, a ringing tone can be output when a phone call is received from a family member.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of an operation screen that appears on the display unit during the exceptional conference registration process in step S259 of FIG. The display unit 133 confirms and displays that the alarm is set to “off” for “company, work place”, and the form of the alarm regarding the conference can be set as an exception to this. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the alarm at the start time of the conference is set to be output. On the other hand, the alarm sounding during the meeting is “off” as a rule.

  The contents shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 are also registered (overwritten) in the priority schedule registration unit 137 when the user inputs and designates (presses) the “registration” button. (Step S258, Step S259). If the user 101 performs priority exception processing such as step S257 shown in FIG. 9 and then performs other exception processing (step S260: N), the user 101 returns to step S253 and continues the processing. When all necessary processes are completed (step S260: Y), the priority schedule registration process is terminated (END).

  When the registration to each of the registration units 135 to 137 of the memory 134 shown in FIG. 2 is performed as described above, the telephone control unit 121 checks the registration contents every time various events such as incoming calls occur. Thus, the alarm output is controlled.

  FIG. 14 shows the state of alarm output control of this mobile phone. This will be described with reference to FIGS. The cellular phone 102 monitors the occurrence of an event in which some alarm is output from the speaker 128 (step S281). As described above, such an event is a ringing tone when receiving an incoming call, a notification sound when receiving an e-mail, the arrival of a time set by the scheduler, or a communication error when the remaining battery 124 is low. Etc. are included.

  When an event for outputting an alarm occurs (step S281: Y), the telephone control unit 121 reads the current location (step S282). The reading of the current location includes a case of reading the latest data cached in the memory 134 in a predetermined case such as when the mobile phone 102 is not moved, and the communication satellite 111 and the base station 113 are not necessarily read. It is not necessary to acquire the current position each time using.

  When the current position of the mobile phone 102 is acquired, the specific location of the mobile phone 102 is specified by collating with the registered contents of the specific location registration unit 135 (step S283). For example, when it is determined that the user 101 holding the mobile phone 102 is on the ABC express line, “commuter train” is specified as the specific place. When the specific location is specified, the telephone control unit 121 reads the on / off state of the specified location alarm from the location-specific alarm registration unit 136 (step S284). Then, the priority items to be prioritized stored in the priority schedule registration unit 137 are read (step S285).

  The telephone control unit 121 determines whether or not the corresponding event corresponds to an exceptional matter to be prioritized from the read result of the priority schedule registration unit 137 (step S286). For example, the alarm is set to “OFF” for “company, work place”, but the event about the current alarm is due to the time zone shown in FIG. 11, the incoming telephone number shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the conference start time shown in FIG. 13 is to be notified.

  As a result, when the corresponding event corresponds to an exceptional matter to be prioritized (step S286: Y), the on / off of the alarm as the read result of step S284 is reversed (step S287). If an alarm event occurs at 12:30 on weekdays for “company, work place”, the alarm that was “off” is inverted and turned “on”. On the other hand, if the exception that should be prioritized does not correspond (step S286: N), for example, if an alarm event occurs at 13:00 on weekdays in this example, the alarm remains “off”.

  In the next step S288, it is determined whether or not the alarm after such processing is “ON”. If it is “ON”, a predetermined alarm sound is output from the speaker 128 (step S289). If the alarm is “off”, the alarm is not output from the speaker 128 (end). Naturally, the sound when the alarm is “on” varies depending on the type of alarm.

  In the embodiment described above, the current location is read or acquired in step S282, but it is first determined whether there is a possibility that an alarm may be output due to a factor other than the location or a change may be made. If the alarm is not output or changed, the process may be stopped. For example, if no alarm is set on the mobile phone 102 at the present time and the alarm is not turned on as a result, that is, no warning sound is output from the speaker 128 (FIG. 2) or the like. Even if an alarm event occurs in step S281 of step 14, the process of specifying the current location after step S282 is wasted. This is because no alarm is output as a result. Therefore, unlike the embodiment, a processing procedure for checking first whether an alarm is set may be performed.

  In the embodiment, when the alarm setting is switched from “on” to “off”, or from “off” to “on”, the display unit 133 confirms the changed content. When switching from “ON” to “ON”, a preset sound may be reproduced and output from the speaker 128. When the alarm setting is changed from “ON” to “OFF”, a preset message for notifying that the alarm has been stopped is displayed on the display unit 133. As a result, the user 101 of the mobile phone 102 can know whether the alarm is “on” or “off” depending on whether sound is generated. The preset voice and the preset message may be processed and reproduced after being stored in the memory 134 in advance.

  Further, in the embodiment, only the alarm as a sound is turned on / off, but various changes can be made to the alarm “off”. For example, the volume of the alarm may be sufficiently reduced to output a sound that does not bother others. In addition, when the alarm as a sound is not output, it is natural that the vibrator may be vibrated instead.
