Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile terminal device, and particularly to a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone having a diary creation function, a database device, and a communication network system.

  When creating a diary, there is generally a method of writing a sentence in a diary, but for example, there is a method of pressing a stamp corresponding to an action to be recorded in a calendar or a schedule book or pasting a sticker.

  In this case, writing a sentence is annoying, but it is conceivable to enjoy the action of stretching and pushing, and the action of looking back on the result and the pressed stamp or seal later. In recent years, it is possible to create a diary as described above using calendar application software or diary application software of a portable terminal device. Whatever method is used, it is important to keep a diary in order to make the diary meaningful. However, when creating a diary as described above, for example, when creating a diary with a mobile terminal device, the screen generally transitions from the standby screen to the menu screen, and application software such as a calendar is selected and started to input diary information. You need to take a detour such as selecting the date and time you want to enter, entering and saving diary information. Even in a simplified procedure, select a shortcut menu such as a shortcut icon on the desktop from the standby screen, start application software such as a calendar, select the date and time you want to enter diary information, and enter the diary information. Save or press the shortcut key assigned to start application software such as calendar, start application software such as calendar software, select the date and time you want to enter diary information, and enter diary information If you want to create a diary, such as saving and saving, you need to take a roundabout procedure.

  Often this procedure is cumbersome and it becomes cumbersome to continue gradually while creating a diary later. Patent Document 1 has been proposed as a method for reducing the burden of creating such a diary.

  Patent Document 1 automatically acquires position information on a regular basis, and collates and registers the action pattern registered in advance by a diary creation request event from the user and the recorded position information. It automatically creates a diary in combination with certain text information (automatically creates a diary from date and position information).

The event search database 11 includes a data search unit 12 that acquires event and location information from the event search database based on information received from the communication unit 9 and date information acquired by the date information acquisition unit 10. . The portable terminal device and the database device provided with the diary creation function with which the input operation is simple are connected via the communication network 13 by the communication unit 7 and the communication unit 9.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8, an operation in which the portable terminal device having a diary creation function with a simple input operation according to Embodiment 2 acquires any or all of event information and location information from the database device via the communication network will be described. I will explain. FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram showing transmission / reception of information between a database device and a portable terminal device having a diary creation function with a simple input operation according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, a portable terminal device having a diary creation function with a simple input operation transmits current location information and a category to the database device. At this time, personal information may be transmitted. The database device that has received the information transmitted from the portable terminal device searches for the corresponding event and location information from the received information and the time information acquired from the date / time information acquisition unit 10. The database device transmits the event and location information obtained by the search to the mobile terminal device. At this time, a plurality of candidate information may be sent. If personal information is received, the information to be transmitted may be narrowed down based on the personal information, or the notification order may be changed. A mobile terminal device that has a diary creation function that can receive input information received from the database device and that can be used for simple operations. The location information is based on the location information received from the database device. Update events in the table.

  Next, an operation in which the portable terminal device having a diary creation function with a simple input operation according to the second embodiment updates the event and the position information will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation in which the recording control unit 4 of the mobile terminal device having a diary creation function with a simple input operation according to the second embodiment of the present invention updates the event and position information. As shown in FIG. 9, when the recording control unit 4 detects a key input from the key input unit 1, the recording control unit 4 acquires time information from the date / time information acquisition unit 2 and position information from the position information acquisition unit 3 (step S901). It is determined whether the acquisition of position information has been successful (step S902), and if successful, the detected key is determined (step S904). If it cannot be obtained, an event correspondence table update process (step S903) is performed. The event correspondence table update process (step S903) will be described later with reference to FIG. Next, as in the case of success, the detected key is determined (step S904). With the key detected by the key input unit 1, an event corresponding to the acquired time information and position information is acquired from the event correspondence table of the corresponding category (step S905). It is determined whether the event acquisition is successful (step S906), and if successful, the acquired event, time information, and position information are recorded in the diary recording unit 5 (step S907). If the event cannot be obtained, an event correspondence table update process (step S903) is performed. The event correspondence table update process (step S903) will be described later with reference to FIG. Next, as in the case of success, the acquired event, time information, and position information are recorded in the diary recording unit 5 (step S908). Subsequently, the event correspondence table update process (step S903 in FIG. 9) will be described with reference to FIG. Current location information (longitude, latitude, etc.) is acquired from the position information acquisition unit 3 (step S1001). Next, personal information is acquired from the personal information acquisition unit 8 (step S1002). (When the personal information acquisition unit 8 is provided) Next, the detected key is determined and the category is classified (step 1003).
