In FIG. 2, the CPU 100 controls the operation of each unit in accordance with a signal supplied from the operation unit 107 or the like. In particular, the CPU 100 controls the display unit 106 according to an interrupt event supplied from each unit.

Here, the interrupt event used in this specification refers to an event to which the present invention can be applied. As will be described in detail below, for example, an interrupt event such as an incoming voice call or an incoming mail supplied from the wireless communication transmitting / receiving unit 103, or an interrupt event (that is, an alarm) read from the alarm storage unit 102c is a typical example. It is.

Hereinafter, as an example of an interrupt event, a description will be given based on three cases: voice incoming, mail incoming, and alarm. However, for example, it may be an interrupt event such as reception of new news, a low voltage alarm, or an out-of-service alarm, and the interrupt event may be arbitrary as long as the present invention can be applied.

The ROM 101 includes a program area and a data area. Various programs executed by the CPU 100 are stored in the program area of the ROM 101. In addition to the various functions described above, the various programs referred to here include an application program that performs a main routine, alarm processing, lighting determination processing A, lighting determination processing B, incoming call processing, lighting determination processing C, and notification screen generation processing described later. Is included. In the data area of the ROM 101, in addition to control data referred to by a predetermined program, various screen data forming a standby screen, for example, are stored.
The CPU 100 controls the operation of each part of the apparatus based on various programs stored in the ROM 101. Here, the CPU 100 and the ROM 101 realize functions of a second detection unit, a determination unit, a lighting control unit, an operation control unit, and a notification control unit.

The RAM 102 includes an extinction condition A storage unit 102a, an extinction condition B storage unit 102b, an alarm storage unit 102c, an address book storage unit 102d, and an image data storage unit 102e.

The extinguishing condition A storage unit 102a stores a table for the extinguishing condition A (hereinafter referred to as “extinguishing condition A table”). Here, the light-off condition refers to a condition for turning off the display unit 106 of the mobile phone 10. Hereinafter, a specific configuration example of the extinction condition A table will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 3, the extinguishing condition A table indicates “parts” indicating which parts, modes, or functions of the mobile phone 10 are related to the success or failure of the conditions, and what these parts modes or functions specifically mean. Consists of three attributes: “content” indicating whether to be a light extinction condition if it is content, and “setting flag” indicating which extinction condition is currently set (adopted) among a plurality of extinction conditions And a body composed of a set of values input for each extinguishing condition corresponding to these three attributes. Details of the items and contents, that is, each turn-off condition, are set in advance by the manufacturer of the mobile phone 10, and the user operates the operation unit 107 to select (adopt) a turn-off condition to be adopted. In response to this selection operation, a flag “1” is set for the selected extinguishing condition and a flag “0” is set for the non-extinguishing extinction condition. Hereinafter, each light-off condition as the light-off condition A shown in the main body will be described in detail.

The first set of the main body indicates a turn-off condition for the display unit 106 of the mobile phone 10 when the display unit 106 is exposed. This extinguishing condition is indicated by a setting flag of “0”, indicating that it has not been selected by the user. Whether or not the display unit 106 of the mobile phone 10 satisfies the condition satisfies an alarm described later. The processing contents of the processing (FIG. 8) and the lighting determination processing A (FIG. 9) are not affected.

The second set of the main body indicates a turn-off condition for the style of the mobile phone 10 when the style is a view style. Since the setting flag of “0” is also attached to this turn-off condition, the processing contents of the alarm processing (FIG. 8) and the lighting determination processing A (FIG. 9) are not affected.

The third set of the main body is a case where the style of the mobile phone 10 and the connection mode of the mobile phone 10 to the charging stand 20 are the case where the style of the mobile phone 10 is the view style and is installed on the charging stand. Indicates the extinguishing condition. Since the setting flag “1” is attached to the extinguishing condition, the processing contents of the alarm process (FIG. 8) and the lighting determination process A (FIG. 9) are affected.
Although details will be described later, in brief, the CPU 100 determines whether to turn off the display unit 106 or turn it on according to whether or not the mobile phone 10 satisfies the turn-off condition (steps SC12 and SC14). , SC15). If it is determined to be in the lighting state, the display unit 106 is turned on (steps SB3 and SB12), but if it is determined to be in the off state, the display unit is displayed according to the processing content of the lighting determination process B described later. The lighting / extinguishing of 106 is controlled (steps SB5, SB6, and SB12).

The fourth set of the main body indicates a turn-off condition when the TV function or the moving image playback function is executed for the function of the mobile phone 10. Since the setting flag of “0” is attached to this extinguishing condition, the success or failure of the condition does not affect the processing contents of the alarm process (FIG. 8) and the lighting determination process A (FIG. 9).

The function related to the turn-off condition of the fourth set of groups is not limited to the TV function and the moving image playback function, and any function may be specified by the user, and a plurality of people may view the display unit 106. The manufacturer of the terminal device may specify in advance a function that is estimated to be high.

As described above, the turn-off condition A is set in advance by the manufacturer of the mobile phone 10, and when the user operates the operation unit 107 to select one turn-off condition, a setting flag is set for the selected turn-off condition. It is desirable to be able to stand up. However, a plurality of extinguishing conditions may be selected in combination with AND or OR, and only one extinguishing condition may be preinstalled in the terminal. Also, the user may be able to freely set the extinguishing condition itself, and more complicated conditions are set not only from two viewpoints of “item” and “content” but also from three or more viewpoints. Also good. The description in this paragraph is the same for the turn-off condition B described below.

Returning to FIG. 2, the extinction condition B storage unit 102b stores a table for the extinction condition B (hereinafter referred to as “extinction condition B table”). Hereinafter, a specific configuration example of the turn-off condition B table will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 4, there are two extinction condition B tables, one for alarms (FIG. 4 (a)) and one for address books (FIG. 4 (b)). Hereinafter, the former is referred to as “light-off condition B table (alarm)”, and the latter is referred to as “light-out condition B table (address book)”. Further, the light-off condition B for the alarm is represented as a light-off condition B (alarm), and the light-off condition B for the address book is represented as a light-off condition B (address book).

In the extinguishing condition B table (alarm) in FIG. 4A, “item” indicating what item is related to success or failure of the extinguishing condition, and what kind of content each item is set as the extinguishing condition “Content” that indicates that the heading is composed of three attributes of “setting flag” that indicates which of the plurality of extinguishing conditions is currently set (adopted), and these three attributes Correspondingly, the main body is composed of a set of values inputted for each extinguishing condition. Details of items and contents, that is, each turn-off condition, are set in advance by the manufacturer of the mobile phone 10, and the user operates the operation unit 107 to select a turn-off condition to be adopted. In response to this selection operation, a flag “1” is set for the selected extinguishing condition and a flag “0” is set for the non-extinguishing extinction condition. Hereinafter, each light-off condition as the light-off condition B (alarm) shown in the main body will be described in detail.

The first set of the main body indicates an extinguishing condition when the extinguishing flag described later with reference to FIG. Since the setting flag of “1” is attached to the extinguishing condition, the processing contents of an alarm process (FIG. 8) and a lighting determination process B (FIG. 10) described later are affected.
Although details will be described later, in brief explanation, the CPU 100 determines whether the display unit 106 is turned off or turned on according to whether or not the light-off condition is satisfied (steps SD5, SD7, SD8). . The display unit 106 is turned off when it is determined to be turned off, and is turned on when it is determined to be turned on (steps SB5, SB6, and SB12).

The group in the second stage of the main body indicates a turn-off condition when there is a schedule content to be described later with reference to FIG. This extinguishing condition has a setting flag of “0”, indicating that it has not been selected by the user. The success or failure of the condition does not affect the processing contents of the alarm processing (FIG. 8) and the lighting determination processing B (FIG. 10).

In the extinguishing condition B table (address book) of FIG. 4B, “item” indicating what item is related to success or failure of the extinguishing condition, and the contents of each item are set as the extinguishing condition. “Content” that indicates whether or not, and a heading composed of three attributes “setting flag” that indicates which of the plurality of extinction conditions is currently set (adopted), and these three attributes And a main body composed of a set of values inputted for each extinction condition. Details of items and contents, that is, each turn-off condition, are set in advance by the manufacturer of the mobile phone 10, and the user operates the operation unit 107 to select a turn-off condition to be adopted. In response to this selection operation, a flag “1” is set for the selected extinguishing condition and a flag “0” is set for the non-extinguishing extinction condition. Hereinafter, each light-off condition as the light-off condition B (address book) shown on the main body will be described in detail.

The first set of the main body indicates an extinction condition when the extinction flag described later with reference to FIG. Since the setting flag of “0” is attached to this turn-off condition, it does not affect the processing content of the lighting determination processing C (FIG. 12) described later.

The second, third and fourth stages of the main body all relate to the item of display contents. Regarding the item of display content, the second row shows the turn-off condition when the phone number or the mail address described later with reference to FIG. 6 is included, and the third row shows the turn-off condition when the name is included. The fourth row shows the turn-off condition when an image is included. The processing content of the lighting determination process C (FIG. 12) depends on the success or failure of the turn-off condition of the second stage to which the setting flag “1” is attached, and the third to which the setting flag “0” is attached. It does not depend on the success or failure of the turn-off conditions of the steps and the fourth step.

Returning to FIG. 2, the alarm storage unit 102c stores an alarm table. Hereinafter, a specific configuration example of the alarm table will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 5, the alarm table includes an “alarm ID” for identifying different alarms, a “date and time” indicating the date and time to be alarmed, a “schedule content” indicating what is in the date and time to be alarmed, and the aforementioned A headline composed of four attributes of “light-off flag” indicating whether or not the display unit 106 should be turned off when a set of user settings is selected in the light-off condition B (alarm) (FIG. 4A). And a main body composed of a set of values input for each alarm corresponding to the four attributes. The alarm date / time, schedule contents, and details of the turn-off flag are all input by the user via the operation unit 107. The alarm ID may be automatically assigned every time a set is created, or may be input by the user. When the “user setting” group is selected as the aforementioned light-off condition B (alarm) (FIG. 4A) (that is, when the flag “1” is set in the user setting group), the light is turned off. Whether or not the flag is 1 indicates whether or not there is an input in the schedule content when the “display content” set is selected (that is, when the “1” flag is set in the display content set). This affects the processing contents of lighting determination processing B, which will be described later (steps SD5 and SD6).

The group whose alarm ID is “AL01” in the first stage of the main body has “every day 06:30” the date and time to be alarmed.
There is no specific schedule, because it is enough to simply inform you of the arrival of time. Therefore, when the set of “display contents” in FIG. 4A is selected as the light extinction condition B (alarm), it is determined in the lighting determination process B described later that there is no schedule contents (in step SD6). NO), it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned on (step SD8).
Further, since the turn-off flag of the group “AL01” is “0”, even if the user-set group is selected as the turn-off condition B (alarm) as shown in FIG. In the determination process B, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned on (steps SD5 and SD8).

For the group whose alarm ID is “AL02” in the second stage of the main body, the date and time to be alarmed is “2008/10/10 10:00”, the schedule content is “Management Strategy Meeting”, and the turn-off flag is “ 0 ".
Since there is an input of “Management Strategy Meeting” in the schedule content, if the “display content” set in FIG. 4A is selected as the extinguishing condition B (alarm), it is assumed that there is a schedule content It is determined in the lighting determination process B (YES in step SD6), and it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off (step SD8).
On the other hand, since the turn-off flag is “0”, when the user setting group is selected as the turn-off condition B (alarm) as shown in FIG. It is determined that it is in a state (steps SD5 and SD8).

The group whose alarm ID is “AL03” on the third stage of the main body is “2008/10/11 19:00” for the date and time to be alarmed, the schedule content is “Waiting with Mr. A”, and the turn-off flag is “1”.
Since there is an input of “Meeting with Mr. A” in the schedule content, there is a schedule content when the “display content” set in FIG. 4A is selected as the extinction condition B (alarm). Is determined in the lighting determination process B (YES in step SD6), and it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off (step SD8).
Since the turn-off flag is “1”, the display unit 106 in the turn-on determination process B even when the user setting group is selected as the turn-off condition B (alarm) as shown in FIG. Is turned off (steps SD5 and SD7).

Returning to FIG. 2, the address book storage unit 102d stores an address book table. Hereinafter, a specific configuration example of the address book table will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the address book table is simply referred to as the address book.

In FIG. 6, the address book table indicates “address book ID” for simply identifying a transmission / reception partner, “name” indicating the name of the other party, “phone number” indicating the telephone number of the other party, and the mail address of the other party. “Mail address”, “Image” indicating the image ID (identification information) of the other party, and “No” indicating whether or not the display unit 106 should be turned off when the user setting group is selected in FIG. It is composed of a headline composed of six attributes of “light-off flag” and a main body composed of a set of values input for each transmission / reception partner corresponding to these six attributes.

The group whose address book ID is “AD01” in the first row of the main body relates to a person whose name is “Aihara OO”. “Aihara OO” has a telephone number “******”, an e-mail address “******”, and an image ID “PC05”. Further, the turn-off flag of the group “AD01” is “1”. In order to avoid a match with a real person, in FIG. 6, a part of the name is indicated as “XX” and the telephone number and the mail address are indicated as “***”. In this product, the actual full name / phone number / mail address is stored in the address book storage unit 102d.

The group whose address book ID is “AD02” in the second stage of the main body relates to a person whose name is “Inoue XX”. “Inoue XX” has a telephone number “****” and an e-mail address “****”. Since there is no registered image, the image ID is not shown. The extinction flag of the group “AD02” is “1”.

The group whose address book ID is “AD03” in the third row of the main body relates to a person whose name is “Ueda OO”. “Ueda XX” has a telephone number “****” and an image ID “PC01”. Since there is no registered email address, the email address is not shown. The extinction flag of the group “AD03” is “0”.

In the above-described turn-off condition B (address book) (FIG. 4B), the turn-off condition in the second stage is selected. Therefore, in the turn-on determination process C (FIG. 12) described later regardless of the contents of the address book. It is determined that the light is off (steps SF1, SF2, SF3, SF12).
However, if the first level, the third level, or the fourth level is selected as the light-off condition B (address book), the address book indicates whether the called party is stored in the address book ( Step SF6, SF9, SF5), if stored, whether the extinction flag is 1 (Step SF8), whether a name is stored (Step SF10), whether an image is stored Reference is made in each determination of (step SF11).
The address book is also referred to in a notification screen generation process (FIG. 13) described later.

Returning to FIG. 2, the image data storage unit 102e stores image data associated with the image ID such as “PC05” and “PC01” described above.

As described above, the image book ID is stored in the address book storage unit 102d, and the image data associated with the image ID is stored in the image data storage unit 102e. Image data may be stored. In this case, the image data storage unit 102e is an unnecessary element.

The configuration of the mobile phone 10 will be further described. In FIG. 2, the wireless communication transmitting / receiving unit 103 exchanges data with the base station BS via the antenna ANT1 under the control of the CPU 100 during data communication. The wireless communication transmitting / receiving unit 103 also outputs the voice data received and demodulated via the antenna ANT1 to the CPU 100 during a voice call, while amplifying the transmission signal obtained by modulating the voice data supplied from the CPU 100 by high frequency. Send out from ANT1.

The television broadcast / radio broadcast receiving unit 104 receives and demodulates a television broadcast signal or a radio broadcast signal via the antenna ANT2 in accordance with a channel selection instruction given from the CPU 100, and receives a received signal (video / TV when receiving television). Audio data or radio audio data when receiving radio) is output to the CPU 100.

The audio signal processing unit 105 includes a speaker SP and a microphone MIC. The audio data supplied from the CPU 100 is D / A converted into an audio signal to generate sound from the speaker SP, or an audio signal output from the microphone MIC is converted into audio data. Or A / D-converted and supplied to the CPU 100. In addition, in the audio signal processing unit 105, when the TV broadcast / radio broadcast reception unit 104 is performing a reception operation, the TV audio data or radio audio data supplied from the CPU 100 is amplified after being D / A converted and released from the speaker SP. Sound. The audio signal processing unit 105 and the speaker SP constitute notification means.

The display unit 106 includes a color liquid crystal panel that includes a display driver and a backlight. The display driver receives display data from the CPU 100 under the control of the CPU 100 and displays the display data on the display unit 106. For example, various kinds of information such as “voice incoming notification screen”, “mail incoming notification screen”, “alarm notification screen” (FIG. 14), and the like are displayed on the display unit 106. On the other hand, the backlight receives power from a power circuit (not shown) under the control of the CPU 100 and irradiates the display unit 106. For example, when the CPU 100 determines that “display unit is turned off” in step SB6, which will be described later, the power from the power supply circuit is turned off, the backlight is turned off, and the display unit 106 is also turned off. If it is determined that the display unit is turned on, the power supply from the power supply circuit is turned on, the backlight is turned on, and the display unit 106 is also turned on.

In the present embodiment, the display unit 106 is turned on / off under the above configuration, but other configurations may be employed. For example, the display content may be made visible or invisible by causing the display device itself to emit light or not. Furthermore, the display content may be displayed or not displayed by supplying / not supplying power to the display unit 106, or the display content may be displayed or not displayed by control by software.

The operation unit 107 includes a power switch for turning on / off power, an off-hook / on-hook switch operated at the start / end of a call, and various operation keys such as a character input switch also serving as a dial switch, as well as a light-off condition A, a light-off condition B, an alarm, And various operation buttons for setting the address book, etc., generate signals corresponding to the operation of these keys and buttons, and output them to the CPU 100.

The RTC 108 generates a real time clock used for timekeeping and timer interruption.

The vibration generation unit 109 includes a vibration motor that generates vibration under the control of the CPU 100. Based on the vibration generation command signal from the CPU 100, the vibration generating unit 109 vibrates, and thereby the mobile phone 10 vibrates. The vibration generating unit 109 constitutes a notification unit.

The style detection unit 110 (first detection means) detects whether or not the style (view style) allows the display unit 106 of the mobile phone 10 to be viewed. For example, in the structure of the mobile phone 10, a lower casing having an operation unit 107 and an upper casing having a display unit 106 are connected via a biaxial hinge, and the first axis of the biaxial hinge is used. Open the lower housing and the upper housing, rotate the upper housing 180 degrees to the left and right with respect to the lower housing via the second axis of the biaxial hinge, and then further lower the housing via the first shaft. In the case where the body and the upper housing can be folded, the style detection unit 110 includes a magnet (not shown) and a magnetic sensor (not shown) provided in each of the two housings. When the magnetic sensor detects the magnetic field lines generated from the magnet, it is detected that the style of the mobile phone 10 is the view style.

The structure of the mobile phone 10 is not limited to the case where the biaxial hinge is provided as described above. If the terminal device has a different casing structure, it can be configured to detect any style based on the different casing structure. For example, if the upper housing having the display unit has a two-stage structure that can slide, and one of the steps can be slid into a T-shape to see the display unit, the slide is completed. An appropriate sensor for detecting this can be provided.

The display unit exposure detection unit 111 includes a contact sensor (not shown) provided near the display unit 106, and detects that the display unit 106 is exposed by detecting that the display unit 106 is not in contact. You may make it detect exposure by detecting the brightness of a display part vicinity with an optical sensor.

The charging stand connection unit 112 generates a charging stand connection detection signal and outputs it to the CPU 100 when it is electrically connected to the charging terminal of the charging stand 20 (see FIG. 1), while charging a battery (not shown).

In the above description, the audio signal processing unit 105, the speaker SP, and the vibration generating unit 109 are disclosed as sections constituting the notification unit. However, the elements constituting the notification means are not limited to these. For example, a light generation unit including an LED or the like may be provided if notification is made by light, and a scent generation unit may be provided if notification is made by a scent.

B. Operation of Embodiment Next, the operation of the above-described embodiment will be described.
(1) Main Routine FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the main routine of the mobile phone 10 according to the present embodiment. The following processing is executed by the CPU 100 (the same applies to subroutines).
First, the CPU 100 determines whether or not an ON operation has been performed on the power supply of the mobile phone 10 (step SA1). If the power-on operation is not performed, the process waits in this step. If the power-on operation is performed, the process proceeds to step SA2 to perform standby processing. The standby process is a process that makes it possible to accept various operations and makes it possible to wait for an incoming call or the like.
Next, in step SA3, it is determined whether or not a setting operation has been performed. When the setting operation has been performed, a setting process is performed (step SA8). As the setting process, for example, there are processes such as setting the extinction condition A (FIG. 3), extinction condition B (FIGS. 4A and 4B), alarm (FIG. 5), and address book (FIG. 6). . For each of the turn-off condition A, the turn-off condition B (alarm), and the turn-off condition B (address book), one turn-off condition is selected via the operation unit 107 for each user wants to adopt. The setting flag is set to “1”. This setting flag is used when reading out desired turn-off conditions A and B in a subroutine to be described later.
When the setting process in step SA8 is completed, the process returns to step SA3.

If the setting operation is not performed in step SA3, it is determined whether or not the current time has been updated (step SA4). The CPU 100 keeps clock and updates the current time every predetermined time accordingly. If it is just the timing of the update time, the determination result in step SA4 is YES, and the process proceeds to alarm processing (step SA9). The alarm process notifies when an alarm matching the current time needs to be issued, and details of the alarm process will be described later in a subroutine. When the alarm process ends, the process returns to step SA3.
On the other hand, if NO in step SA4, it is determined whether or not an incoming call is detected (step SA5).
The incoming call detection is to determine whether or not the mobile phone 10 has received an incoming call from the outside. If there is an incoming call detection, incoming call processing is performed (step SA10). Details of the incoming call processing will be described later in a subroutine.
If NO in step SA5, it is determined whether a power-off operation has been performed (step SA6). If a power-off operation has been performed, a power-off process is performed in step SA11. Thereby, the power of the mobile phone 10 is turned off, and the processing of the CPU 100 ends.
On the other hand, if the power-off operation has not been performed, it is determined in step SA7 whether another operation has been performed. If other operations are performed, other processing is performed (step SA12). Examples of other processing include processing such as creation and transmission of mail. When the other processes are finished, the process returns to step SA3. If no other operation is performed in step SA7, the process immediately returns to step SA3.

(2) Alarm Processing FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of alarm processing as a subroutine.
In the alarm process, the CPU 100 first determines whether there is an alarm that matches the current time (step SB1). Specifically, the CPU 100 refers to an alarm table stored in the alarm storage unit 102c to determine whether there is an alarm that matches the current time. If there is no alarm that coincides with the current time (ie, NO), the alarm process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine.
On the other hand, if there is an alarm that matches the current time (that is, YES), the process proceeds to the lighting determination process A in step SB2. In the lighting determination process A, as will be described in detail later, after the light-off condition A adopted by the user, that is, the light-off condition A with the setting flag being 1, is read, the display unit 106 is turned off or turned on. It is determined whether the state is to be set.
Subsequent to the lighting determination process A in step SB2, in step SB3, it is determined whether or not the determination is made in step SB2 when the display unit 106 is turned off. If it is not determined that the light is off (ie, NO), the process proceeds to step SB12 and the display unit 106 is turned on.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the light is off (that is, in the case of YES), the process proceeds to the lighting determination process B of step SB4. In the lighting determination process B, as will be described in detail later, after the adopted extinguishing condition B (alarm), that is, the extinguishing condition B (alarm) whose setting flag is 1, is read, the display unit 106 is turned off. Or whether the lighting state is set.
Subsequent to the lighting determination process B in step SB4, in step SB5, it is determined whether the determination is made in step SB4 when the display unit 106 is turned off. If it is not determined that the light is off (ie, NO), the process proceeds to step SB12 and the display unit 106 is turned on. On the other hand, if it is determined that the light is off (that is, YES), the process proceeds to step SB6 and the display unit 106 is turned off.

After the display unit 106 is turned off in step SB6, the CPU 100 sets the first user operation to be assigned to the lighting process of the display unit 106 (step SB7). That is, the CPU 100 sets the first user operation in the state where the display unit 106 is turned off after the display unit 106 is turned off in Step SB6 to be assigned to the process of turning on the display unit 106.
Subsequently, the fact that there is an alarm that coincides with the current time is notified by sound through the speaker SP (step SB8), by vibration through the vibration generator 109 and by light through the light generator described above. (Step SB9).
Subsequently, it is determined in step SB10 whether there is a user operation, that is, whether there is a first user operation in step SB7. If there is a user operation, the CPU 100 advances the process to step SB12 according to the place set in step SB7, and the user operation is assigned to the process of lighting the display unit 106.
On the other hand, when there is no user operation, for the notification made by sound or the like (see SB8, SB9), it is determined in step SB11 whether the time to be notified has ended. If the notification time has not yet ended (that is, NO), the process returns to step SB10, and the determination of whether there is a user operation (SB10) and whether the notification time has ended (SB11) is repeated.
On the other hand, when the notification time is over, the display unit 106 displays that there is an alarm that coincides with the current time (step SB18), the alarm processing is finished, and the processing is returned to the main routine.

After the display unit 106 is turned on in step SB12, the CPU 100 sets the first user operation to be assigned to the alarm notification end process (step SB13). That is, after the display unit 106 is lit, the CPU 100 sets the first user operation in the lit state to be assigned to the process for terminating the alarm notification.
Subsequently, the content of the alarm that matches the current time is notified on the screen via the display unit 106 (see step SB14 for the text, and FIG. 14C for the notification screen example of step SB14), and matches the current time. It is notified by sound through the speaker SP that there is an alarm to be performed (step SB9).
Subsequently, it is determined in step SB16 whether there is a user operation, that is, whether there is a first user operation in step SB13. If there is a user operation, the process proceeds to step SB18 according to the setting at step SB13, and the display unit 106 displays that there is an alarm that matches the current time (step SB18), and the alarm process is terminated. Processing returns to the main routine.
On the other hand, when there is no user operation, it is determined in step SB17 whether or not the time to be notified has ended for the notification made via the screen or the like (see SB14 and SB15). If the notification time has not yet ended (that is, if NO), the process returns to step SB16 to repeat the determination of whether there is a user operation (SB16) and whether the notification time has ended (SB17). When the notification time is over, a message indicating that there is an alarm matching the current time is displayed on the display unit 106 (step SB18), the alarm processing is finished, and the processing is returned to the main routine.

(3) Lighting determination processing A
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the lighting determination process A as a subroutine of the alarm process. In the lighting determination process A, the CPU 100 reads the extinguishing condition A with the setting flag = 1, detects a predetermined item according to what the read out extinguishing condition A item is, and the detected item is the extinguishing condition A table. It is determined whether or not the display unit 106 is turned off or turned on by determining whether or not it is as defined in the contents. Hereinafter, the operation of the lighting determination process A will be described in detail.

In the lighting determination process A, the CPU 100 first reads the extinguishing condition A with the setting flag = 1 (step SC1). That is, the CPU 100 reads out the extinguishing condition A whose setting flag is 1 with reference to the extinguishing condition A table stored in the extinguishing condition A storage unit 102a. For example, in FIG. 3, since the setting flag of 1 is set in the third set, the contents of the item “style + charging stand” are “installed on the charging stand in the view style”. The extinguishing condition is read out.
Subsequently, in step SC2, it is determined whether or not item = display section. That is, it is determined whether or not the read item of extinguishing condition A is a display unit.
If item = not display (ie, NO), it is determined in step SC3 whether or not item = style in the same procedure as step SC2, and if item = style, item = style + charging stand in step SC4. It is determined whether or not.
In accordance with the determination results in steps SC2, SC3, and SC4, CPU 100 detects a predetermined matter.

If YES in step SC2, that is, if the read item of extinguishing condition A is a display unit, the exposure of display unit 106 is detected by display unit exposure detection unit 111 (step SC6).
Following step SC6, it is determined in step SC7 whether the display unit 106 is exposed. When it is determined that the display unit 106 is exposed, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off (step SC14), and when it is determined that the display unit 106 is not exposed, the display unit 106 is turned on. It is determined that the state is set (step SC15).

If YES in step SC3, that is, if the read item of extinguishing condition A is a style, the style of mobile phone 10 is detected by style detector 110 (step SC8).
Subsequent to step SC8, CPU 100 determines in step SC9 whether the style of mobile phone 10 is the content style. That is, it is determined whether the style of the mobile phone 10 is a style defined in the contents of the extinction condition A table. When it is determined that the detected style is the content style, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off (step SC14), and when it is determined that the detected style is not the content style, the display unit is displayed. It is determined that 106 is turned on (step SC15).

If YES in step SC4, that is, if the read-out item of the turn-off condition A is style + charging stand, the style of mobile phone 10 is detected by style detecting unit 110 (step SC10), and mobile phone 10 is charged. 20 is further detected by the charging stand connection unit 112 (step SC11).
Subsequent to step SC11, CPU 100 determines in step SC12 whether or not the style of mobile phone 10 is the content style and is installed on charging base 20. That is, the CPU 100 determines whether or not the style of the mobile phone 10 is installed on the charging stand 20 in a style defined in the contents of the extinction condition A table. If YES in step SC12, it is determined that display unit 106 is turned off (step SC14), and if NO in step SC12, it is determined that display unit 106 is turned on (step SC15).

If NO in step SC4, that is, if the read item of extinguishing condition A is not a style + charging stand, the read item of extinguishing condition A is a function, and the mobile phone 10 operates in step SC5. The function being performed is detected (step SC5).
Following step SC5, it is determined in step SC13 whether the detected function is a function of contents. That is, it is determined whether or not the detected function is a function defined in the contents of the turn-off condition A table. If YES in step SC13, it is determined that display unit 106 is turned off (step SC14), and if NO in step SC13, it is determined that display unit 106 is turned on (step SC15).

As described above, in the lighting determination process A, the CPU 100 reads the extinguishing condition A with the setting flag = 1, detects a predetermined item according to what the read out extinguishing condition A item is, and the detected item is It is determined whether or not the display unit 106 is turned off or turned on by determining whether or not it is as defined in the contents of the turn-off condition A table. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, since the turn-off condition A with the setting flag = 1 is the third set, the route of steps SC2, SC3, SC4, SC10, SC11, SC12 is followed, and the display unit 106 Is turned off or turned on.
When it is determined whether the display unit 106 is turned off or turned on through the above steps (steps SC14 and SC15), the process returns to the alarm process.

(4) Lighting determination processing B
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the lighting determination process B as a subroutine of the alarm process. In the lighting determination process B, the CPU 100 reads the turn-off condition B (alarm) with the setting flag = 1, and detects a predetermined matter depending on whether or not the read item of the turn-off condition B (alarm) is a predetermined item. Then, by determining the detected item, it is determined whether the display unit 106 is turned off or turned on. Hereinafter, the operation of the lighting determination process B will be described in detail.

In the lighting determination process B, the CPU 100 first reads out the turn-off condition B (alarm) with the setting flag = 1 (step SD1). That is, the CPU 100 reads out the turn-off condition B (alarm) whose setting flag is 1 with reference to the turn-off condition B table (alarm) stored in the turn-off condition B storage unit 102b. For example, in FIG. 4A, since the setting flag of 1 is set in the first row, the content of the item “user setting” is “extinguishing flag = 1” Is read out.
Subsequently, in step SD2, it is determined whether or not item = user setting. That is, it is determined whether or not the read-out condition B (alarm) item is a user setting.

  When item = user setting (ie, YES), an alarm extinction flag that matches the current time is detected with reference to the alarm table stored in the alarm storage unit 102c (step SD4). It is determined whether or not the turn-off flag is 1 (step SD5). When the turn-off flag is 1, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off (step SD7), and when the turn-off flag is not 1, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned on (step SD8).

  If item = not set by user (that is, NO), item = displayed content, the alarm schedule content that matches the current time is detected (step SD3), and it is determined whether the schedule content exists. (Step SD6). When there is a schedule content, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off (step SD7), and when there is no schedule content, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned on (step SD8).

As described above, in the lighting determination process B, the CPU 100 reads the turn-off condition B (alarm) with the setting flag = 1, and depending on whether or not the item of the read turn-off condition B (alarm) is a user setting, An alarm extinction flag or schedule content that matches the time is detected, and the detected item is discriminated to determine whether the display unit 106 is in the extinguished state or in the illuminated state. For example, in the example of FIGS. 4A and 5, the turn-off condition B (alarm) with the setting flag = 1 is the first set, so the route of steps SD2, SD4, SD5, SD7 is followed. It is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off.
When it is determined whether the display unit 106 is turned off or turned on through the above steps (steps SD7 and SD8), the process returns to the alarm process.

(5) Incoming Call Processing FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of incoming call processing as a subroutine.
In the incoming call process, first, in step SE1, the CPU 100 determines whether or not the detected incoming call is notified of the telephone number (in the case of incoming call) or mail address (in the case of incoming mail) of the called party.
If NO in step SE1, that is, if there is no notification of the telephone number or mail address of the called party in the detected incoming call, the process proceeds to step SE12 and a notification screen generation process is performed. Here, the notification screen generation process, which will be described in detail later, is whether there is a notification of the telephone number or mail address of the called party in the incoming call, if there is, whether the called party is stored in the address book, If it is stored, it is a process of generating a screen to be notified according to what is stored in the called party. After the notification screen generation process in step SE12, the CPU 100 turns on the display unit 106 (step SE13).
On the other hand, if YES in step SE1, that is, if the detected incoming call is notified of the telephone number or mail address of the called party, the process proceeds to step SE2 to perform the above-described lighting determination process A, and then in step SE3. It is determined whether or not it is determined that the light is turned off in the lighting determination processing A of step SE2.
If NO in step SE3, the process proceeds to step SE12 to perform a notification screen generation process, and further proceeds to step SE13 to turn on the display unit 106. On the other hand, if YES at step SE3, the routine proceeds to step SE4, where the lighting determination process C is performed. Here, the lighting determination process C, which will be described in detail later, is based on whether or not the display unit 106 is turned off based on which extinguishing condition is adopted as the extinguishing condition B (address book). This is a process for determining whether to do.
Subsequent to the lighting determination process C, the CPU 100 determines whether or not it is determined in the lighting determination process C that the light is turned off in step SE5.
If NO in step SE5, the process proceeds to step SE12 to perform a notification screen generation process, and further proceeds to step SE13 to turn on the display unit 106. On the other hand, if YES in step SE5, the process proceeds to step SE6 and the display unit 106 is turned off.

After the display unit 106 is turned off in step SE6, the CPU 100 sets the first user operation to be assigned to the lighting process of the display unit 106 (step SE7). That is, the CPU 100 sets the first user operation in the state where the display unit 106 is turned off after the display unit 106 is turned off in Step SE6 to be assigned to the process of turning on the display unit 106.
Subsequently, the detected incoming call is notified by sound through the speaker SP (step SE8), is notified by vibration through the vibration generation unit 109 and by light through the light generation unit (step SE9). .
Further, it is determined in step SE10 whether there is a user operation, that is, whether there is a first user operation in step SE7. When there is a user operation, the user operation is assigned to the process of turning on the display unit 106 in step SE13 after the notification screen generation process in step SE12 according to the setting in step SE7.
On the other hand, if there is no user operation, it is determined in step SE11 whether the incoming call has ended. When the incoming call has not ended yet (that is, in the case of NO), the process returns to step SE10, and the determination of whether there is a user operation (SE10) and whether the incoming call has ended (SE11) is repeated.
On the other hand, when the incoming call is terminated, a message indicating that the incoming call has been received is displayed on the display unit 106 (step SB19), the incoming call process is terminated, and the process returns to the main routine.

After the display unit 106 is turned on in step SE13, the first user operation is set to be assigned to processing for incoming calls (step SE14). In other words, after the display unit 106 is turned on, the first user operation in the lighted state is set to be assigned to processing according to the instruction of the operation.
Subsequently, the screen generated by the notification screen generation processing in step SE12 is notified on the screen via the display unit 106 (step SE15), and the fact that there is an incoming call is notified by sound via the speaker SP (step SE16). ).
Subsequently, it is determined in step SE17 whether there is a user operation, that is, whether there is a first user operation in step SE14. If there is a user operation, processing according to the user operation is performed according to the place set in step SE14 (step SE20). For example, when the incoming call is a telephone and the off-hook button of the operation unit 107 is pressed, the line is connected and a call can be made. When processing according to the user operation is performed in step SE20, the incoming call processing is terminated and the processing is returned to the main routine.
On the other hand, if there is no user operation in step SE17, it is determined in step SE18 whether the incoming call has ended. If the incoming call has not ended yet (that is, if NO), the process returns to step SE17 to repeat the determination of whether there is a user operation (SE17) and whether the incoming call has ended (SE18). On the other hand, when the incoming call is terminated, a message indicating that the incoming call has been received is displayed on the display unit 106 (step SE19), the incoming call process is terminated, and the process returns to the main routine.

(6) Lighting determination processing C
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the lighting determination process C as a subroutine of the incoming call process. In the lighting determination process C, the CPU 100 reads the extinguishing condition B (address book) with the setting flag = 1, and displays depending on whether or not the read item of the extinguishing condition B (address book) is a predetermined item. It is determined whether the unit 106 is turned off or turned on. Hereinafter, the operation of the lighting determination process C will be described in detail.

In the lighting determination process C, the CPU 100 first reads out the turn-off condition B (address book) with the setting flag = 1 (step SF1). That is, the CPU 100 reads the extinguishing condition B (address book) whose setting flag is 1 with reference to the extinguishing condition B table (address book) stored in the extinguishing condition B storage unit 102b. For example, in FIG. 4B, since the set flag of 1 is set in the second set, the content of the item “display content” is “phone number / mail address”. The extinction condition of the case is read out.
Subsequently, in step SF2, it is determined whether or not item = user setting. That is, it is determined whether or not the read item of the extinction condition B (address book) is a user setting.

If the item = user setting (ie, YES), it is determined whether the called party is stored in the address book (FIG. 6) (step SF6). If YES in step SF6, the extinguishing flag of the called party is detected (step SF7), and it is determined whether or not the detected extinguishing flag is 1 (step SF8). When the turn-off flag is 1, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off (step SF12).
When NO is determined in step SF6 and NO is determined in step SF8, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned on (step SF13).

If item = not user setting (ie, NO), item = display content, and the process proceeds to step SF3 to determine whether display content = phone number / mail address. That is, in step SF3, it is determined whether or not the item “display content” of the read out extinguishing condition B (address book) is the content “phone number / mail address”. When the read-out extinction condition B (address book) is display content = phone number / mail address, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off (step SD7). On the other hand, if not, the process proceeds to step SF4, and it is determined whether or not the display content = name.
Thus, when it is determined YES in step SF3, it is different from the case where YES is determined in step SF2 (different from the case where YES or NO is determined in step SF4), and the called party is stored in the address book. Regardless of whether or not the display unit 106 is turned off, the CPU 100 determines. In other words, the CPU 100 determines what the turn-off condition B (address book) for which the setting flag “1” is set is, and determines that the display unit 106 is turned off.

If the display content = name in step SF4, that is, if the display content of the read-out extinction condition B (address book) is a name, it is determined whether the called party is stored in the address book with reference to the address book. (Step SF9). If the called party is stored in the address book, the process proceeds to step SF10 to further determine whether the name of the called party is in the address book. If the name of the called party is in the address book, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned off (step SF12).
When NO is determined in step SF9 and NO is determined in step SF10, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned on (step SF13).

If the display content is not the name, the display content is an image, and the process proceeds to step SF5, where it is determined whether or not the called party is stored in the address book with reference to the address book. If the called party is stored in the address book, the process proceeds to step SF11 to further determine whether the image of the called party is in the address book. The image of the other party in the address book means that not only the image of the other party exists as actual image data in the address book storage unit 102d but also the image ID stored in the address book storage unit 102d and associated with the image ID. This includes the case where the obtained image data exists in the image data storage unit 102e.
The display unit 106 is determined to be turned off when the image of the called party is in the address book (step SF12). On the other hand, when NO is determined in step SF5 and NO is determined in step SF11, it is determined that the display unit 106 is turned on (step SF13).

(7) Notification Screen Generation Processing FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of notification screen generation processing as a subroutine for incoming call processing. In the incoming call processing routine, the content of the incoming call is notified on the screen in step SE15. The notification screen generation processing relates to a processing procedure for determining what screen is to be notified before notification in step SE15 and creating a notification screen. Details will be described below with reference to FIGS. 13, 14A, and 14B.
In the notification screen generation process, the CPU 100 first determines in step SG1 whether or not there is a notification of the telephone number (if the incoming call is a telephone) or mail address (if the incoming call is a mail) of the incoming call.
If there is no notification of the telephone number or mail address of the called party, a screen indicating that only the incoming call is received is generated (step SG2).
On the other hand, when there is a notification of the telephone number or mail address of the called party, it is determined whether or not the called party is stored in the address book of the address book storage unit 102d (step SG3).
If the called party is not stored in the address book, a screen indicating that the called party is receiving and the telephone number or mail address of the called party is generated (step SG10). For example, if the incoming call is a phone call, a screen indicating that the incoming call is received and the other party's phone number is generated. If the incoming call is a mail, a screen indicating that the incoming call is received and the other party's mail address is generated. .
If YES in step SG3, that is, if the called party is stored in the address book, it is determined in step SG4 whether the name of the called party is in the address book.
If there is no name, it is further determined in step SG6 whether the image of the called party is stored in the address book. If there is no image, the process proceeds to step SG10 and the incoming caller's phone number or mail is sent. A screen showing the address is generated. If there is an image, in addition to these, a screen including the image is generated in step SG9.
If it is determined in step SG4 that there is a name, the presence / absence of an image is determined in step SG5 as determined in step SG6, and different screens are generated in steps SG8 and SG7 according to the determination result. That is, when there is no image, a screen indicating that there is an incoming call + phone number / email address + name is displayed (step SG8), and when there is an image, an indication that the incoming call is received + phone number / email address + name + image. (Step SG7) is generated. The configuration example of the screen generated in step SG7 is, for example, FIG. 14A for a voice incoming call and FIG. 14B for a mail incoming call.
As described above, in the notification screen generation process, the CPU 100 stores whether there is a notification of the telephone number or mail address of the called party in the incoming call, and if so, whether the called party is stored in the address book. Then, a screen to be notified is generated according to what is stored in the called party. When the notification screen is generated, the notification screen generation processing is terminated, and the processing is returned to the incoming call processing routine.

According to the present embodiment described above, when an interrupt event such as an alarm occurs, the usage state of the mobile phone 10 is detected by the style detection unit 110, the display unit exposure detection unit 111, the charging stand connection unit 112, and the CPU 100. The CPU 100 detects whether or not the notification content of the generated interrupt event includes a predetermined content such as a turn-off flag or schedule content, and based on the detection result, The CPU 100 determines whether the lighting state of the display unit 106 is turned off or the lighting state, and the lighting state of the display unit 106 is controlled based on the determination result.
Therefore, it is possible to control the off / lit state of the display unit 106 based on the usage state of the mobile phone 10 and the notification content of the interrupt event, and the notification content of the interrupt event can be easily viewed by a third party. Can be prevented. For example, a usage state in which there is a high possibility that the user is not in the vicinity or a usage state in which there is a high possibility that a plurality of people are watching the display unit 106, and the notification content of the interrupt event is not desired to be known to a third party In this case, it is possible to prevent the display unit 106 from being easily seen by a third party by turning off the display unit 106.

  Further, since the CPU 100 controls the allocation of processing contents corresponding to the user operation based on the control result indicating whether the lighting state of the display unit 106 is turned off or turned on, the light-off state / According to the lighting state, it is possible to control the assignment of processing contents corresponding to the user operation, and it becomes easy to operate intuitively.

In addition to these, the following effects (a) to (m) can also be achieved.
(A) When the display unit is turned on, the first user operation can be assigned to the process for the interrupt event, and the operation becomes intuitively easy. For example, when the display unit is turned on at the time of an incoming call, it is easy to operate by assigning the first user operation to a call transition or an answering machine transition.
(B) When the display unit is turned off, the first user operation can be assigned to the lighting process of the display unit, which makes it easy to operate intuitively. For example, when the display unit is turned off when an incoming call is received, the display unit is turned on by the first user operation, and the content of the notification can be confirmed. Subsequent operations can be used to make a call or make an answering machine.
(C) It is possible to prevent the user from not being aware of the occurrence of the interrupt event due to the light-off state. For example, if the so-called silent mode is set in which no sound or vibration is generated when an incoming call is received, the user cannot notice the incoming call if the display unit is turned off. In order to prevent this, it is possible to make the user notice the incoming call by a notification (sound, light, vibration, etc.) different from the display.
(D) Depending on whether or not the display unit is exposed, the display unit can be controlled to be turned off / on, and even if the display unit is exposed, the notification content Can be prevented from being easily seen by a third party.
(E) The display unit can be controlled to be turned off / on according to the style of the housing, and even if the terminal device is in a view style, for example, the notification content can be easily seen by a third party. Can be prevented.
(F) The display unit can be controlled to be turned off / on according to the style of the housing and installed in the charger, and the notification content even if the terminal device is installed in the charger in the view style, for example. Can be prevented from being easily seen by a third party.
(G) The display unit can be turned off / on according to the function being operated. For example, even when a TV function is operated and a plurality of people are viewing, the notification content is displayed. It can be prevented from being easily seen by the three parties.
(H) Depending on whether or not personal information of the called party is included in the notification content, it is possible to control the light-off / lighting state of the display unit, and it is easy for third parties to provide notification content that they do not particularly want to see Can be seen.
(I) Depending on whether or not the information about the user's behavior is included in the notification content, the display unit can be turned off / on, and notification content that is not particularly desired to be viewed can be easily communicated to a third party. Can be seen.
(J) Based on whether the terminal device is used and whether or not it is a designated interrupt event, it is possible to control the off / lit state of the display unit, and easily notify the third party of the notification content of the interrupt event. It can be prevented from being seen. For example, when the user is in a usage state where there is a high possibility that the user is not nearby or in a usage state where there is a high possibility that a plurality of people are watching the display unit, the display unit By turning off the light, it can be prevented from being easily seen by a third party.
(L) It is possible to control whether the display unit is turned off / on depending on whether the call is received from a designated partner, and it is easy for a third party to see a partner who does not want to be seen. Can be prevented.
(M) Depending on whether or not it is a specified interrupt event, it is possible to control the off / lit state of the display unit, and it is easy for a third party to see an interrupt event that you do not want to see. Can be prevented.
