FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the application information storage unit M3.
The application information storage unit M3 stores “application ID”, “application name”, “menu information”, “function information”,... As information related to the application (application information). Application identification information for identifying various applications provided in the mobile phone 1, for example, “address book”, “mail application”, “TV”, “text application”, “browsing application”, etc. For example, “A01” , “A02”, “A03”,...

  An “address book” whose “application ID” is indicated by “A01” is an application for editing, browsing, and deleting the address book. The “mail application” whose “application ID” is indicated by “A02” is an application that performs reply / deletion of received mail in addition to creation / transmission of mail. “TV” whose “application ID” is indicated by “A03” is an application that receives digital TV broadcasts. A “text application” whose “application ID” is indicated by “A04” is an application for creating, editing, and deleting a text file. A “browsing application” whose “application ID” is indicated by “A05” is an application for browsing a received Web page or the like. “Application name” is application identification information similar to “Application ID”, for example, “Address book”, “XXX (mail application name)”, “TV”, “XXX (text application name)”. , “XXX (browsing application name)”, and the like.

  “Menu information” is a list of functions (for example, “edit”, “tool”, “setting”, “delete”, etc.) included in the application as information related to the menu included in the application indicated by “application ID”. And a function arrangement information indicating where each function is arranged in the menu. The “function information” is function identification information such as “function ID (for example, B01, B02...)”, “Function name”, “function hierarchical structure information”, etc., as information on functions included in the application. When the application is newly acquired by downloading or the like and loaded (stored) in the mobile phone, the central control unit 11 generates the application information and additionally registers it in the application information storage unit M3. ing.

FIG. 4 is a display state diagram for explaining how an application activation command and a function activation command are added to content (text data).
FIG. 4A illustrates the content (text data) before the application activation instruction and the function activation instruction are added, and FIG. 4B illustrates the content (text) after the application activation instruction and the function activation instruction are added. It is the figure which illustrated data. The central control unit 11 refers to the application information storage unit M3 while analyzing the content (text data), and stores the application identification information “application name” and the function identification information “function information (function information) stored in the application information storage unit M3. For example, it is determined whether or not “function name)” is included. In the example shown in the figure, the text data includes “XX (mail application name)” as the application name, and “tool”, “e-mail account”, “e-mail”, “existing e-mail” as the function name. It shows the case that “display and change of account” is included.

  When the application name and function name are included in the content as described above, the central control unit 11 adds an application activation command for activating this application to the content, or adds the function included in the application. A function activation command for activation is added to the content. At that time, a position to which an application activation instruction and a function activation instruction are added is determined, and an application activation instruction and a function activation instruction are added to the position. In this case, the position of the application name and function name is determined as the position to add the application activation instruction and function activation instruction, and the application activation instruction and function activation instruction corresponding to the position are added. Here, by enclosing the application name and function name with a frame line, the application name and function name are identified and displayed. This clearly indicates that the corresponding application activation instruction and function activation instruction are added. The identification display is not limited to the frame line display as described above, and may be any identification display such as a thick line display, a blinking display, a color change display, and an underline display.

  Further, a function menu image indicating a list of functions included in the application is added below the application name included in the content. In the example shown in the figure, a function menu image that displays “File, Edit, Display, Move, Tool, Help” as a list of each function is added below the application name “XXX”. Shows the case. A function activation command is added to each function in the menu image. Then, in order to clearly indicate that the function activation instruction is added, the function name is identified and displayed by blinking display or the like, similar to the application name and function name described above. The menu displayed in such a menu image is not limited to the top menu of the application, and may be displayed including functions for all layers, for example.

  In this way, in the state where the application activation command and the function activation command are added corresponding to the application name and function name included in the content, the application activation command and the function activation command in this content are When designated, an application and a function corresponding to the designated application activation command and function activation command are activated. For example, if the application name (character string) “TV” is included in the content (text data or e-mail) and the application activation command added to this “TV” is specified, the TV application Is activated.

  Next, the operation concept of the mobile phone in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. Moreover, the operation | movement according to the above-mentioned program code transmitted via transmission media, such as a network, can also be performed sequentially. In other words, in addition to the recording medium, an operation unique to the present embodiment can be executed using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an outline of the overall operation on the side of the mobile phone 1 that is started when the power is turned on.
First, when a power-on operation to turn on the power is performed (YES in step A1), the central control unit 11 reads and displays a predetermined standby image, or communicates with the base station 2A to perform the position measurement. A standby process for registration is performed (step A2). In this state, when an activation operation instructing activation of the text application is performed (YES in step A3), text application processing described later is performed (step A4), and then the process returns to step A3 described above.

  When mail reception is detected (YES in step A5), mail application processing described later is performed (step A6), and when an activation operation for instructing activation of the browsing application is performed (YES in step A7), it will be described later. After performing the browsing application process (step A8), the process returns to step A3 described above. Further, when an incoming call is detected (YES in step A9), a call process for enabling a call is performed (step A10), and then the process returns to step A3 described above. When the power-off operation is performed (YES in step A11), the power-off process is performed (step A12), and then this flow ends. When another operation is performed (YES in step A13). As a process corresponding to the operation, for example, after performing a calling process (step A14), the process returns to step A3 described above.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the text application process (step A4 in FIG. 5) started in response to the text application activation operation.
First, after starting the text application (step B1 in FIG. 6), the central control unit 11 reads the content designated by the user operation as a display target from the text data storage unit M4 and displays it on the display unit 16 (step B2). ). In this case, for example, the text data that was being displayed when the text application was last activated may be read out and displayed as the initial screen when the text application is activated this time. The input state may be displayed. In the state where the content is displayed in this way, it is checked whether or not an operation for instructing the start of the addition process for adding the application activation command is performed in the displayed content (step B3). When the operation is performed (YES in step B3), the process proceeds to an addition process for adding an application activation command and a function activation command to the content being displayed (step B4).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining in detail an additional process (step B4 in FIG. 6 and the like) that is started in response to a start command addition start operation.
First, the central control unit 11 performs application activation command addition processing according to the flowchart of FIG. 8 (step C1 of FIG. 7). That is, the content (here, text data) is analyzed, a character string is extracted based on words, idioms, etc. (step D1 in FIG. 8), and the application name stored in the application information storage unit M3 is read. After (step D2), by comparing the extracted character string with the read application name, it is searched whether or not the application name is included in the extracted character string (step D3).

  As a result, if the application name is not included (NO in step D4), the flow returns to the flow of FIG. 7 from that time, but if at least one application name is included (YES in step D4) ), The application ID corresponding to the search application name is read from the application information storage unit M3 (step D5), and the format of this content (HTML format, XML format, Java (registered trademark), etc.) is determined (step D6). . An application activation command is generated based on the read application ID (step D7). The format of the application activation command is defined by the content format determined as described above. For example, if the format of the application activation command is “start app + application ID” and the application ID read this time is “A02 (mail application)”, “start app + A02” is generated as the application activation command. Note that the format of the application activation instruction is not limited to that according to the content format, but may be uniquely defined in advance.

  Next, the position of the search application name in the content is specified (step D8), a position to which an application activation instruction is added is determined based on the position of the application name (step D9), and the application activation instruction is added to the position. Is added (step D10). In this embodiment, the application activation command is added to the position of the application name, but the position where the application activation command is added is not limited to this. Next, in order to identify that the application activation command has been added, the character string of the search application name is surrounded by a frame line to identify and display the character string (step D11).

  As a result, when the application activation command addition process is completed (step C1 in FIG. 7), it is checked whether an application activation instruction is added in the current process (step C2). Then, the flow returns to the flow of FIG. 6 from the flow of FIG. 7, but when an application activation command is added (YES in step C2), as a function activation command addition process, that is, a process of adding a function activation command in the content , Function activation command addition processing A (step C3) for adding a function menu image below the application name in the content, and function activation for adding a function activation command to the function name included in the content The process proceeds to execution of the instruction addition process B (step C4).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the function activation command addition processing A (step C3 in FIG. 7) in detail.
First, the central control unit 11 reads a function menu image of an application to which an application activation instruction is added from the application information storage unit M3 (step E1 in FIG. 9), and then functions menu based on the position of the search application name described above. The position to add the image is determined (step E2), and the menu image is added to the position (step E3). Here, in this embodiment, a space for a predetermined number of lines is provided below the line including the search application name, and a function menu image is added to the space.

  Then, the function arrangement information indicating which function is displayed at which position in the added function menu image is read from the application information storage unit M3 (step E4), and for each function included in the menu image, the function arrangement information is read. After reading the function ID from the application information storage unit M3 (step E5), the content format is determined (step E6) as in the case of the application activation instruction described above, and a function activation instruction is generated based on this function ID. However (step E7), the format of the function activation command is defined by the determined content format. For example, if the format of the function activation instruction is “start func + function ID” and the function ID read this time is “B02 (edit)”, “start func + B02” is generated as the function activation instruction. Then, referring to the function arrangement information, the position where the function name is in the menu image is specified (step E8), and the position where the activation command is added in the menu image is determined based on the position of the function name. (Step E9), a function activation command is added to the position (Step E10). In order to identify that the function activation command has been added in this way, the character string of the function name is identified and displayed by blinking display or the like (step E11).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the function activation command addition processing B (step C4 in FIG. 7) in detail.
First, the central control unit 11 reads the function name included in the application to which the application activation command is added from the application information storage unit M3 (step F1 in FIG. 10), and then the character extracted in step D1 in FIG. By comparing the column and the read function name, it is searched whether or not the function name is included in the extracted character string (step F2). As a result, if the function name is not included (NO in step F3), the flow returns to the flow in FIG. 7 at that time, but if at least one function name is included (YES in step F3). ), The function ID corresponding to the function name is read from the application information storage unit M3 (step F4), the content format is determined (step F5), and a function activation command is generated based on the function ID (step F5). F6) The format of this function activation command is defined by the determined content format.

  Then, the position of the function name included in the content is specified (step F7), the position to which the function activation instruction is added is determined based on the position of the function name (step F8), and the function activation instruction is added to the position. Is added (step F9). In this embodiment, the function activation command is added to the position of the function name. However, the position where the function activation command is added is not limited to this, and may be an arbitrary position. Next, in order to identify that the function activation command is added, the character string of the function name is identified and displayed by a frame line surrounding it (step F10).

  As a result, when the function activation instruction addition process A (step C3 in FIG. 7) and the function activation instruction addition process B (step C4) are finished, the content (here, text data) to which the application activation instruction and the function activation instruction are added is stored. The added content is stored in the added content storage unit M7 as the added content (step C5 in FIG. 7). Then, after the added content is displayed on the display unit 16 (step C6), the flow returns to the flow of FIG. 6 from the flow of FIG.

  After executing the addition process (step B4 in FIG. 6) in this way, it is checked whether or not an application activation command is added by the current addition process (step B5 in FIG. 6). If an application activation command is not added (NO in step B5), the process returns to the above-described step B3. If added (YES in step B5), the mail application is activated (step B6). When a user operation for designating a transmission partner is performed (step B7), a mail with an attached content to which an application activation instruction or a function activation instruction is added as an attached file is generated, and the mail is addressed to the designated party. Then, the data is transmitted (step B8). Then, after terminating the mail application (step B9), the process returns to step B3 described above.

  On the other hand, in a state where the added content is displayed on the display unit 16, an application activation command or a function activation command added to the content is designated by operating the enter key after the cursor key operation, or a pointer operation is performed. When an operation for instructing activation of the application is performed (YES in step B10 in FIG. 6), the process proceeds to an application activation process described later (step B11). Further, when an operation for instructing to end the application is performed (YES in Step B12), after the text application is ended (Step B13), the process returns to Step A3 in FIG. 5, but when other operations are performed. (YES in step B14) After performing, for example, text data creation processing, text data display processing, text data editing processing, etc. as processing corresponding to the operation (step B15), the processing returns to the above-described step B3.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining in detail an application activation process (step B11 in FIG. 6) that is started in response to an activation instruction designating operation.
First, the central control unit 11 analyzes the activation command designated by the user operation (step G1), checks whether the application activation command is designated (step G2), and if the application activation command is designated (step G2) YES in step G2), the application to be activated is determined based on the application ID specified by the application activation command (step G3), and this identification application is activated (step G4).

  If a function activation command is specified (NO in step G2), the function to be activated is determined based on the function ID specified in the function activation command (step G5), and the function is included. The current application is discriminated (step G6). If the determination application has already been started (YES in step G7), the determination function is started as it is (step G9). If the determination application has not been started (NO in step G7), the application is After activation (step G8), the discrimination function is activated (step G9). When the discrimination function is a higher function including a plurality of lower functions, after displaying the function menu, the lower function selected by the user operation from the menu is activated.

  In this state, it is examined whether an operation for instructing termination of the application activated by the application activation process is performed (step G10), or whether other operations are performed (step G12). As another operation, when an operation related to the active application or function is performed (YES in step G12), the process related to the operation is executed (step G13), and the process returns to the above-described step G10. When the end operation is performed (YES in step G10), the application is terminated (step G11), and the process returns to step B3 in FIG.

  As described above, in this embodiment, if the central control unit 11 includes application identification information (for example, an application name) stored in the application information storage unit M3 in the content to be displayed on the display unit 16. Since the application start command for starting the application indicated by the application identification information is added to the content, the application start command for starting the application can be appropriately added to the content. Convenience can be improved.

  When an application activation command added to the content is specified, the application is activated based on the application activation command. Therefore, the application desired by the user can be easily and appropriately specified only by specifying the application activation command. Can be activated.

  Based on the position of the application identification information included in the content, the position to add the application activation instruction is determined and the application activation instruction is added, so that the application activation instruction can be added to an appropriate position. For example, an application activation command can be added to or near the position of the application identification information.

  Since function identification information (for example, function names of editing, tools, etc.) for identifying the function included in the application indicated by the application identification information in the content is added to the content, the function identification information is appropriately included in the content. Can be added.

  Since the position where the function identification information is added is determined based on the application identification information in the content and the function identification information is added, the function identification information can be added to an appropriate position. For example, a function menu image can be added near the application name.

  Since the function identification information added to the content is displayed on the display unit 16, the function identification information can be notified to the user. For example, a menu image of a function added near the application name can be displayed.

  When the function identification information added to the content is designated, the function indicated by the function identification information is activated, so that the function desired by the user can be activated appropriately and jumped to that function.

  When application identification information is included in the content, a function activation instruction for activating the function included in the application indicated by the application identification information is added to the content. Can be added.

  Since the received content is displayed on the display unit 16, an application activation command can be appropriately added to the received content for display.

  Since the content to which the application activation instruction is added is transmitted, this application can be executed at the transmission destination.

  In the above-described embodiment, when an application name and function name are included in the content, the application name and function name are identified and displayed by surrounding them with a frame line, and the corresponding application activation command and function activation are displayed. Although the fact that the command is added is clearly indicated, this identification display is not limited to the frame line display, as described above, and is optional such as a thick line display, a blinking display, a color change display, an underline display, etc. Also good. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, an “activation mark” may be inserted near the position of the application name, and an application activation instruction may be added to the “activation mark”. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the menu image may not be added near the application name. Similarly, an “activation mark” may be inserted in the content near the position of the function name, and a function activation command may be added to the “activation mark”.

  In addition, as a method of adding an activation command, a space for one line is provided below the line including the application name and function name, and “app activation from here”, “function activation from here”, etc. Such as adding an application activation instruction and function activation instruction to the position determined based on the position of the application name and function name, etc. Any method may be used.

  In the embodiment described above, an activation command is added to the content being displayed. However, for the content stored in the text data storage unit M4, the mail storage unit M5, and the Web page storage unit M6, An activation command may be added and stored in the added content storage unit M7.

Although stored, it may be stored in the same storage unit as the content that is the source of the added content. For example, the added content created based on the text data may be stored in the text data storage unit M4.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a position where a menu image is added is determined based on the position of the application name and the menu image is added to the position, a predetermined number of lines below the line including the application name. A menu space is added to the space, and a menu image is added to the space. The method of adding a menu image to a position determined based on the position of the application name is, for example, by opening another screen (a separate window). Any method such as adding an image may be used.

  In the embodiment described above, when an application activation command is added to text data as in the text application process shown in FIG. 6, the mail application is activated and the added content is transmitted to the designated partner. However, when an application activation command is added to the text data, a confirmation message inquiring whether or not to transmit the added content to the other party is displayed, and then the transmission is affirmed by a user operation. The added content may be transmitted to the other party on condition that a response is received. The timing for transmitting the added content to the other party is arbitrary, and the added content may be transmitted by a user operation.

  In the embodiment described above, the content is text data, mail, or web page, but any content may be used. For example, when an arbitrary content is a television image, the program information may be analyzed, and an application activation command and a function activation command may be added corresponding to the application name and function name. Further, an application activation command and a function activation command may be added by directly recognizing a television image.

In the embodiment described above, the application is an address book, a mail application, a television, a text application, and a browsing application, but any application may be used. The function may be any function such as copy, delete, edit, various settings, help display, and the like.
