  Next, as an example of processing executed by the mobile terminal 1 in response to the occurrence of an event, incoming call response processing executed when there is an incoming call will be described with reference to FIG.

  The control unit 21 stands by until an incoming call from another communication device is detected (step S101). And the control part 21 will be notified based on the telephone number of the sender | caller notified from the wireless communication part 10, if the information which shows an incoming call is notified from the wireless communication part 10, and detects an incoming call (it is YES at step S101), The relationship between the user and the caller is specified (step S102). In step S102, the table in FIG. 4 is used to specify the relationship between the user and the caller. For example, when the caller is “Sato”, the telephone number “0903333ΔΔΔΔ” is notified from the wireless communication unit 10 to the control unit 21, so that the telephone number “09033333Δ” in the table of FIG. “Company colleague” associated with “ΔΔΔ” is identified as the relationship between “Sato” and the user.

  Next, the control unit 21 uses the table in FIG. 3 to display an image for selecting a process to be executed for an incoming call on the display unit 16 (step S103). As a result, on the display unit 16, (11) communication connection with the caller destination, (12) output of the hold message, and (13) output of the response message, which are associated with “incoming” in the table of FIG. Are displayed on the display unit 16.

  As a method for displaying the options at this time, there are a format in which the options shown in FIG. 5 are used and the options are sequentially switched, and a format in which the options shown in FIG. 6 are used and the options are simultaneously displayed on the display unit 16. . The display order and display area of each option in these formats are set based on the relationship between the caller and the user specified in step S102.

  For example, when the relationship of “company colleague” is specified in step S102, the display order and display time of (11) to (13) are displayed in the table of FIG. The display order and display time associated with “colleague” are set. As a result, as shown in FIG. 19, the options (11) to (13) are displayed in the order (11) → (12) → (13), and the options (11), (12), and (13) are displayed. Are displayed at 1.5 seconds, 1.0 second, and 0.7 seconds, respectively.

  Further, in the format in which the options are displayed all at once, the size of the display area (11) to (13) is the size of the display area associated with “company colleague” in the table of FIG. Is set. As a result, as shown in FIG. 20, the options (11) to (13) are displayed so as to increase in the order of (13) → (12) → (11).

  When the options (11) to (13) are displayed on the display unit 16 as described above, the control unit 21 executes the incoming call in response to the user touching the display unit 16. A process to be performed is selected (step S104). At this time, based on the information notified from the display unit 16 (information indicating that the user has touched / information indicating the location touched by the user), processing to be executed for the incoming call is selected.

  For example, when each of the options (11) to (13) is displayed in a sequentially switched format in step S103, the time point when the user touches the display unit 16 is specified based on information indicating that the user has touched. Thus, the process related to the option displayed on the display unit 16 at the time is selected.

  Moreover, when each option of (11)-(13) is displayed on the display part 16 all at once by step S103, the location which the user touched is specified based on the information which shows the location which the user touched, The process related to the option displayed at the location is selected.

  In step S104, when (11) communication connection with a destination or (12) output of a hold message is selected, these processes are executed in steps S105 and S106.

  And after step S105 and step S106 are performed, the control part 21 returns to step S101.

  On the other hand, if (13) response message output is selected in step S104, the process proceeds to step S107.

  In step S107, the control unit 21 displays message options for responding to incoming calls on the display unit 16 using the table in FIG. 7 (step S107). As a result, the display unit 16 displays (21) “Meeting in progress. I will try again in 30 minutes” (22) “I will try again later”, (23) “Email the requirement” Please contact us. ”, (24) Four options are displayed on the display 16:“ I am currently on the train. ”

  As a method for displaying the options (21) to (24) at this time, the table in FIG. 8 is used to sequentially switch the options, or the table in FIG. 9 is used to display the options all at once. There is a format. The display order and display area of each option in these formats are set based on the relationship between the caller and the user specified in step S102.

  For example, if “company colleague” is specified in step S102, the display order and display time of the options (21) to (24) are displayed in the table of FIG. The display order and display time associated with “colleague” are set. As a result, as shown in FIG. 21, the options (21) to (24) are displayed in the order of (21) → (22) → (23) → (24), and (21), (22), ( The display times of the options 23) and (24) are set to 1.5 seconds, 1.0 seconds, 0.7 seconds, and 0.5 seconds, respectively.

  In the format in which the options are displayed all at once, the size of the display area of the options (21) to (24) is the size of the display area associated with “company colleague” in the table of FIG. Is set to As a result, as shown in FIG. 22, the options (21) to (24) are displayed so as to increase in the order of (24) → (23) → (22) → (21).

  Next, in response to the user touching the display unit 16, the control unit 21 selects a response message to be output to the destination (step S108). In step S108, a response message is selected by the same method as in step S104. That is, when the messages of (21) to (24) are displayed in a sequentially switched format in step S107, the message displayed on the display unit 16 is selected when the user touches the display unit 16. Is done. If the messages (21) to (24) are displayed all at once in step S107, the message shown at the position touched by the user is selected.

  When the response message is selected in step S108, the control unit 21 connects communication with the destination (steps S109, S110, S111, S112), and the response message selected in step S108 is sent to the destination. On the other hand, it is output as synthesized speech (steps S113, S114, S115, S116). For example, in step S108, if (21) “Meeting now. Call again in 30 minutes” is selected, communication with the callee is connected in step S109, and then (21 ) Is output to the destination.

  And when step S113, S114, S115, S116 is performed, the control part 21 returns to step S101.

  Then, after returning to step S101, the process of FIG. 18 is resumed in response to the fact that a new incoming call is generated in the portable terminal 1 and information indicating the incoming call is notified from the wireless communication unit 10 to the control unit 21. Is done.

  According to the incoming call corresponding process in FIG. 18, when an incoming call is received at the mobile terminal 1, the user can perform a process for causing the mobile terminal 1 to execute an incoming call with a simple operation of touching the display unit 16, A message to be output to the destination can be selected.

  Note that the method of returning the response message to the destination is not limited to the above-described synthetic voice method, and may be an electronic mail method. In this case, instead of steps S109 to S116, an e-mail addressed to the destination is generated, and the message selected in step S108 is transmitted by the e-mail. The destination address is set to a mail address associated with the telephone number notified from the wireless communication unit 10 in the table of FIG. For example, when the caller is “Sato”, the telephone number “0903333ΔΔΔΔ” is notified from the wireless communication unit 10 to the control unit 21, so that the telephone number “09033333Δ” in the table of FIG. The mail address “DDD @ EEEE” associated with “ΔΔΔ” is set as the destination.

  In steps S104 and S108, processing to be executed for an incoming call and a message to be output to a call destination can be selected based on the number of locations where the display unit 16 has been touched. In this case, in order to execute step S103, for example, a touch location number table shown in FIG. In the touch location number table, the process names of (11) to (13) in FIG. 3 and the number of touch locations assigned to them are shown. Then, when the user touches the display unit 16 in the situation where the options (11) to (13) are displayed on the display unit 16 in step S103, the number of touched locations is displayed in the touch location number table. The assigned option is specified, and the process related to the option is selected. For example, when one touch is detected by a touch with one finger, (11) a communication connection with the destination is selected, and two touches are detected by a touch with two fingers In this case, (12) output of a hold message is selected.

  Next, as another example of the process executed in response to the occurrence of an event, a station premises entrance response process executed in response to a user entering the station premises will be described with reference to FIG.

  The control unit 21 waits until it detects that the user has entered the station (step S201). When the information indicating that the user has entered the station is notified from the RFID unit 20 and it is detected that the user has entered the station (YES in step S201), the control unit 21 3, an image for selecting a process to be executed for entering the station is displayed on the display unit 16 (step S202). As a result, on the display unit 16, (31) No setting change, (32) Silent mode setting, (33) Power OFF, which are associated with “entry into the station” in the table of FIG. Three options are shown on the display 16.

  As a display method of the options at this time, there are a format in which each option is sequentially switched using the table of FIG. 10 and a format in which each option is simultaneously displayed on the display unit 16 by using the table of FIG. .

  For example, in the format in which each option is switched, the options (31) to (33) are displayed in the order of (31) → (32) → (33) based on the table of FIG. 10, and (31), (32 ) And (33) are set to display times of 1.5 seconds, 1.0 second, and 0.7 seconds, respectively.

  Further, in the format in which the options are displayed all at once, the size of the display area of the options (31) to (33) is in the order of (33) → (32) → (31) based on the table of FIG. It is displayed to be larger.

  When the options (31) to (33) are displayed on the display unit 16 as described above, the control unit 21 enters the station yard in response to the user touching the display unit 16. A process to be executed is selected (step S203). This selection is performed by a method similar to steps S104 and S108 in FIG. Therefore, detailed description is omitted.

  If (31) No setting change is selected in step S203, the process returns to step S201.

  On the other hand, if (32) silent mode setting is selected in step S203, the process proceeds to step S204. In this step S204, the table of FIG. 12 is used. (41) “Release silent mode after 15 minutes”, (42) “Release silent mode after 30 minutes”, (43) “Release silent mode” Three options “none” are displayed on the display unit 16.

  As a display method of the options at this time, there are a format in which each option is sequentially switched using the table of FIG. 13 and a format in which each option is simultaneously displayed on the display unit 16 by using the table of FIG. .

  For example, in the format in which each option is switched, the options (41) to (43) are displayed in the order of (41) → (42) → (43) based on the table of FIG. ) And (43) are set to 1.5 seconds, 1.0 second and 0.7 seconds, respectively.

  Further, in the format in which the options are displayed all together, the size of the display area of the options (41) to (43) is in the order of (43) → (42) → (41) based on the table of FIG. It is displayed to be larger.

  And after step S204 is performed, according to a user touching the display part 16, the control part 21 performs the process which the portable terminal 1 performs among the processes which concern on the option displayed by step S204.
