Description

  The present invention relates to a terminal device that handles electronic mail as image data, an electronic mail transmission method, and an electronic mail program.

  It is common practice to save the data after receiving the email. The received e-mail data is stored in various formats depending on the receiving environment. For example, an e-mail received using a mobile phone terminal is stored in a different format for each mobile phone service provider. In addition, electronic mail received using a personal computer is stored in a different format for each electronic mail software used. Therefore, even when the received e-mail is stored carefully, it is necessary to store it separately in each file format or to perform data conversion processing, and management of stored data is complicated.

On the other hand, the type and model of electronic mail are often different between a transmission-side device and a reception-side device. Therefore, the characters that can be displayed, the number of lines, the display size, and the like are different between the transmission side and the reception side, and may not be displayed on the reception side device in the display format intended by the sender.
For example, so-called model-dependent characters such as circled characters and Roman numerals are not guaranteed to be correctly displayed on the recipient's device even if transmitted as they are.
In addition, pictograms used in mobile phone terminals are different for each mobile phone service provider. Regarding this, there is also a service in which pictograms that differ for each mobile phone service provider correspond to each other on the server and are converted to each other. However, this is merely a pseudo conversion, and there is no guarantee that the pictograph intended by the sender will be transmitted to the receiver.
In addition, a so-called emoticon that expresses a person's face or the like is sometimes used with a character string in which a plurality of characters are arranged, but if a line break occurs in the middle of the character string that forms the emoticon, In some cases, it is difficult to determine whether it is.
Furthermore, as a technique for sending an e-mail with an illustration or photograph as a background, there is a technique for sending an e-mail using the HTML format. However, HTML format e-mails were not displayed correctly if the receiving device or e-mail software did not support them.

  In order to deal with such a problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228561 proposes a technique for converting an e-mail into image data in a raster format and transmitting it.

(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a terminal device 100 using an electronic mail transmission method according to the present invention.
The terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment includes an input operation unit 10, a body creation unit 20, a header creation unit 30, an image generation unit 40, a transmission unit 50, an image data transmission control unit 60, and a display unit 70. Is a mobile phone terminal.

  The input operation means 10 is an input device on which a user of the terminal device 100 performs an input operation, and includes, for example, an input key or a touch panel.

  The body creation means 20 is a part that creates the body of the electronic mail. Specifically, the text creation means 20 is used to input characters and pictograms by the user using the input operation means 10, and to specify character decorations according to the instructions of the user, and to specify illustrations and photographs as the background. Or insert it into a sentence to create an email body.

  The header creation means 30 creates a header necessary for the e-mail. The contents of the header are not different from ordinary e-mails, and are the sender's mail address, the destination mail address, the subject, the transmission date and time, and the like. The header creation unit 30 creates a header according to the destination and subject input by the user using the input operation unit 10. However, since the header creation unit 30 of the present embodiment creates a header before sending an email, the date and time when the email was created is set as a provisional value. The header creation unit 30 creates information on the sender of the header based on the sender's mail address set in the terminal device 100.

  The image generation means 40 generates image data using the header created by the header creation means 30 and the text created by the text creation means 20. The image data created by the image generation means 40 includes header image areas 401b, 401c, 401d (see FIG. 4) based on at least part of information included in the header, and a text image area 401a based on the text (see FIG. 4). ). Specifically, the header based on the header image area includes the sender's mail address, the destination mail address, the subject, and the transmission date and time. Of these, the sender's email address and the recipient's email address may be converted directly into an image, but the name and name in the name column (name column) of the address book that stores the sender and recipient's email addresses It is desirable to convert it to an image. Further, the image may be formed by writing the address together with the name. The transmission date / time is imaged with the above-mentioned provisional transmission date / time (date and time when the e-mail was created).

The image data generated by the image generation means 40 is raster format image data. The raster format image data is image data expressed by a sequence of dots, for example, JPEG / JPEG2000, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PICT, etc. In this embodiment, the highly versatile JPEG is used. Yes. Note that image data in a raster format other than JPEG may be generated.
Further, the image generation means 40 sets a file name based on at least a part of the information included in the header as the file name of the generated image data. The image generation means 40 of the present embodiment generates image data with the subject name as the file name. For example, in the case of the subject of an e-mail “summer greeting”, the file name of the generated image data is “summer greeting.jpg”.

  The transmission unit 50 transmits the image data generated by the image generation unit 40 attached to an electronic mail. In the present embodiment, since the terminal device 100 is a mobile phone terminal, an e-mail is transmitted by the communication function of the mobile phone service.

  In addition, when the image data is attached to the e-mail and transmitted, the transmitting unit 50 transmits the e-mail by replacing the text created by the text creating unit with an alternative text. Here, the alternative text is text data for substituting for the text area in normal electronic mail. In this embodiment, the text is converted into image data, and the recipient wants to see the image data. However, if the body is transmitted as it is together with the image data as in the conventional case, the recipient may first see the body of the text data and may not see the image data. Therefore, in this embodiment, the imaged text is replaced with an alternative text at the time of transmission. The alternative text of this embodiment is the text “There is no text, please see the attached file”. Note that the text to be replaced may be another text, or the text may be simply deleted. It is also possible to send the text without deleting or replacing it.

  The image data transmission control unit 60 performs control so that the operation of the image generation unit 40 and the operation of the transmission unit 50 are linked when an operation for transmitting an electronic mail in an image format is performed by the user. Specifically, the image data transmission control unit 60 controls the image generation unit 40 to set the transmission date and time as the actual transmission date and time before transmitting in the image format. Thereafter, the image data transmission control means 60 controls the transmission means 50 to replace the body text of the email with the alternative text, and send the email with the image data attached. As described above, when an operation for transmitting an e-mail in an image format is performed, the image data transmission control unit 60 converts the e-mail into image data, attaches the image data, replaces the text, and transmits the e-mail. The image generation means 40 and the transmission means 50 are linked so that the above operation can be automatically executed.

  The display unit 70 displays a text and header creation screen by the text creation unit 20 and the header creation unit 30 and displays an image generated by the image generation unit 40.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an operation related to the electronic mail of the terminal device 100 of the present embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the mail creation screen.

  In step (hereinafter referred to as S) 10, the header creation means 30 creates a header based on the destination and subject input by the user in the destination input area 301 and the subject input area 302 (header creation step). The header creation unit 30 creates information on the sender of the header based on the sender (user) information set in the terminal device 100. Note that the subject line is not mandatory.

  In S20, the text creating unit 20 creates a text based on the text entered by the user in the text input area 303 (text creating step). It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the text only as shown in FIG. 3, but a background image or a pictograph or illustration may be added.

  In S30, it is determined whether normal transmission or image format transmission is to be performed. Here, normal transmission refers to performing the same transmission as conventional normal electronic mail transmission. On the other hand, the image format transmission is transmission of the header and the body imaged by the image generation means 40. Whether normal transmission or image format transmission is performed is determined depending on whether the normal transmission button 304 is selected or the image format transmission button 305 is selected. If normal transmission is performed, the process proceeds to S100, and if image format transmission is performed, the process proceeds to S40.

  In S40, the image generation means 40 generates raster format image data (see image data 401 in FIG. 4) including the subject, destination, sender, text, and provisional transmission date and time (image generation step). In this embodiment, image data in JPEG format is generated.

In S50, the image generation unit 40 displays the generated image data on the display unit 70, and allows the user to determine whether the generated image is appropriate.

Here, the image data generated by the image generation means 40 will be described.
The image data 401 includes a body image area 401a and header image areas 401b, 401c, and 401d.
The body image area 401a is an area in which the body text of the e-mail created by the body text creating means 20 is imaged in the form of the font and arrangement as it is.

  The header image area 401b is an area in which the subject in the header created by the header creating means 30 is directly imaged. The header image area 401b of the present embodiment is centered and arranged at the center in the left-right direction above the text image area 401a.

  The header image area 401c is an area in which information about the sender in the header created by the header creating means 30 is imaged. Even if the sender is stored as an e-mail address in the header, the sender name registered as the e-mail sender is imaged in this embodiment. The header image area 401c of the present embodiment is arranged right-aligned to the right in the left-right direction below the text image area 401a.

  The header image area 401d is an area obtained by imaging information on the transmission date and time in the header created by the header creating means 30. In S50 in which the image data confirmation shown in FIG. 4 is performed, since transmission has not yet been performed, the transmission date and time of the header image area 401d displayed for confirmation is the same as the date and time when the confirmation display is performed. To display the image. The header image area 401d of the present embodiment is arranged right-aligned to the right in the left-right direction below the text image area 401a and the header image area 401d.

  In S60, it is determined whether or not to approve the image data displayed in S50. Specifically, whether or not to approve the image data is determined based on whether the confirmation button 402 or the correction button 403 is selected on the image data confirmation screen shown in FIG. When the confirmation button 402 is selected and the image data is approved, the process proceeds to S70, and when the correction button 403 is selected and the image data is corrected (not approved), the process returns to S10 and the transmission shown in FIG. Display the mail composition screen again.

  In S70, the image generation unit 40 generates raster format image data in which the provisional transmission date and time of the header image area 401d of the previously generated image data is corrected to the current date and time (image generation step).

In S80, the transmission means 50 replaces the text with an alternative text for image transmission. It is also possible to delete the text without replacing it with the alternative text.
In S90, the image data generated in S70 is attached to the electronic mail as attached data.
In S100, an e-mail attached with image data is transmitted (transmission step). Note that the header is sent as it is because it is necessary for sending an e-mail.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a display example on the receiving terminal that has received the electronic mail transmitted in the image format by the terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment.
The e-mail transmitted in the image format by the terminal device 100 according to the present embodiment can be viewed without requiring any special operation or the like as long as it is a device in which conventional ordinary e-mail software is installed. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the transmission date / time area 501 and the subject area 502 represent header information. An alternative text replaced at the time of transmission is displayed in the text area 503. In this embodiment, “There is no body text, please see the attached file” is displayed. An attached image data display area 504 is displayed below the text area 503. In the example of FIG. 5, the attached image data is reduced and displayed.

  As described above, the image data attached to the received e-mail includes all of the subject, the sender, the transmission date and the text. The file name of the image data has the same file name as the subject. Therefore, if the recipient saves the image data, the recipient can view necessary information as an e-mail even if the e-mail software used or the mobile phone terminal used changes. Further, if the image data attached to the e-mail includes the background, pictographs, etc., it can be received in the form intended by the sender like a paper letter sent by mail or the like. Therefore, it can also be used for storing emails as important data.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, raster-format image data is generated based on a part of the header and the text, and this is attached to an e-mail and transmitted. Therefore, it can be communicated to the recipient in the form intended by the sender.
Further, since the image data generated by the image generation means 40 is in a raster format, it can be browsed with ordinary e-mail software, and can be easily realized without being affected by the reception environment on the receiving side. In addition, if the image data is stored, browsing at a later date can be easily performed without using e-mail software, and management is also easy.
Further, the image data transmission control means 60 automatically executes a series of operations from generation of image data to transmission with attachment to an e-mail. Therefore, the sender can transmit the electronic mail according to the present invention with a simple operation.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, image data is generated by the terminal device 100 that transmits an e-mail. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform image conversion or the like on the server, and the processing load on the server that processes a large amount of mail at once is not increased.
In addition, since it is image data, it is difficult to be quoted or tampered with compared to a normal text-format e-mail, and safety can be improved.

  The terminal device processing and the e-mail transmission method of the present invention are recorded by recording the processing of the terminal device on a computer-readable recording medium, causing the terminal device to read and execute the e-mail program recorded on the recording medium.
