  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of a virtual telephone receiver 100 according to the present embodiment. As the virtual call receiving device 100, for example, an information terminal such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a PDA, or a personal computer is used. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an embodiment in which a smartphone is used as the virtual telephone receiving device 100.

  The virtual telephone receiving device 100 includes a touch panel 101, a communication module 102, a microphone 103, a control device 104, and a speaker 105.

  The touch panel 101 is an electronic component that combines a display device such as a liquid crystal panel and a position input device such as a touch pad, and is an input device that can operate a device by pressing a display on a screen. For example, the user of the virtual telephone receiving device 100 can operate the virtual telephone receiving device 100 by touching or sliding display items such as buttons and menus displayed on the liquid crystal panel using a finger or a touch pen. . The touch panel 101 detects an operation such as a touch or a slide by the user and outputs a detection signal to the control device 104.

  The communication module 102 is a module for connecting to the Internet via a LAN or a cellular phone communication network by wireless or wired.

  The microphone 103 is a sound collection device for inputting a speech voice by a user. Analog data input from the microphone 103 is converted into a digital signal by the control device 104.

  The control device 104 is configured by a CPU, a memory, and other peripheral circuits, and controls the entire virtual telephone receiving device 100. Note that the memory constituting the control device 104 includes, for example, a volatile memory such as SDRAM and a non-volatile memory such as flash memory. The volatile memory is used as a work memory for the CPU to expand the program when the program is executed and a buffer memory for temporarily recording data. The nonvolatile memory stores firmware for operating the virtual telephone receiver 100 and software program data for operating various applications.

  In the present embodiment, a virtual phone call application program for operating a smartphone as the virtual phone call receiving device 100 in the present embodiment is recorded in this nonvolatile memory. The virtual telephone call application program is provided by being published on a server connected via the Internet, and the user obtains it by downloading and installs it in advance. Alternatively, the virtual phone call application program may be provided by being recorded on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM.

  The speaker 105 is an output device for outputting sound. The control device 104 outputs voice data when there is an incoming call from another user or voice data for a call recorded in a nonvolatile memory through the speaker 105 as will be described later.

  In virtual telephone receiver 100 according to the present embodiment, the user selects one of the preset incoming situations that matches the current situation, and performs a virtual response according to the selected incoming situation. An incoming call can be instructed. Here, the virtual incoming call in the present embodiment is different from the normal incoming call from other telephone subscribers. It means an incoming call that is controlled in a pseudo manner as if there was an incoming call from the three parties. Hereinafter, the process in the virtual telephone receiving device 100 of the present embodiment will be described.

  As described above, the user installs the virtual phone call application in advance in the virtual phone call receiving device 100 and then touches the virtual phone call application icon displayed on the touch panel 101 to start the virtual phone call application. Can be instructed. When the control device 104 detects that the user has instructed activation of the virtual phone call incoming application, the control device 104 displays the incoming call situation selection screen shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, in order to support the discipline of children, a plurality of incoming situations that tend to be selfish for children are prepared in advance. In this embodiment, as an incoming situation, when the child does not listen to the parent, when the child does not sleep, when the child does not brush his teeth, when the child does not clean up, when the child hurts and does not stop crying, Incoming situations are prepared in advance assuming a plurality of situations such as when a child does not take medicine.

  In the incoming situation selection screen shown in FIG. 2, the application name of the virtual telephone incoming application is displayed at the top of the screen, and the incoming situation selection button for selecting the above incoming situation is arranged in the button arrangement area below it. . In the example shown in FIG. 2, as an incoming situation selection button, a “when you do not listen” button 2 a, a “when you do not sleep” button 2 b, a “when you do not brush your teeth” button 2 c, and a “when you do not clean up” ”Button 2 d,“ when it hurts and does not stop crying ”button 2 e, and“ when no medicine is taken ”button 2 f are displayed.

  In the present embodiment, in the incoming situation corresponding to each button displayed on the incoming situation selection screen, the user who wants to suppress the child's selfishness, for example, the parent, responds to the current incoming situation on the incoming situation selection screen. By touching the incoming situation selection button, it is possible to instruct a virtual incoming call that can be expected to have the effect of stopping the child from being selfish.

  When it is detected that one of the incoming situation selection buttons is touched on the incoming situation selection screen, the control device 104 identifies the incoming situation based on the touched button, and based on the identified incoming situation. Then, a process for a virtual incoming call that can be expected to have the effect of stopping the child from selfishness is performed. Hereinafter, the contents of the virtual incoming call that can be expected to have the effect of stopping the child from selfishness and the process for the virtual incoming call executed by the control device 104 will be described. In the following description, a parent is assumed as a user instructing an incoming call, a child is assumed as a user responding at the time of incoming call, a user instructing an incoming call is called an incoming call instructing user, and a user responding at the time of incoming call is called a responding user. In order to distinguish between the two.

  In this embodiment, for each incoming situation, a virtual incoming call is made by outputting a pseudo incoming call screen, a pseudo call screen, and a pseudo call voice. For this purpose, image data for displaying a pseudo incoming call screen (hereinafter referred to as “incoming call display data”) and image data for displaying a pseudo call screen in association with each incoming call situation in advance. (Hereinafter referred to as “call display data”) and call voice data for outputting a pseudo call voice are recorded in the above-described nonvolatile memory. These data are provided together with the program data of the virtual incoming call application.

  The simulated incoming call screen and the pseudo call screen are reproduced accurately so that they can be mistaken for the actual incoming call screen and the call screen. If the recording is made to be similar to the conversation, the responding user will not be aware that the incoming call is a virtual incoming call in the virtual incoming call process described later, and may actually think that there was an incoming call. it can.

  When the control device 104 detects that any one of the incoming situation selection buttons is touched on the incoming situation selection screen, the control device 104 identifies the incoming situation based on the touched button, and associates the incoming situation with the identified incoming situation. The recorded incoming call display data, call display data, and call voice data are read from the memory, and processing for virtual incoming call is executed. Hereinafter, it demonstrates concretely using FIGS. 3-8.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of an incoming call screen and a call screen displayed on the touch panel 101 in a process executed when the “when not to say” button 2 a is touched by the incoming call instruction user. In this embodiment, in an incoming call situation where the child does not hear what the child says, there is an incoming call from “Akaoni” where the child has fear, and the responding user answers the incoming call. Then, I will explain an example of disciplinary support by talking to "Akaoni".

  When the control device 104 detects that the “when you do not hear” button 2 a is touched by the incoming call instruction user, the control device 104 outputs a preset ring tone via the speaker 105, and FIG. The incoming call screen shown in a) is displayed on the touch panel 101. On this incoming call screen, there is displayed incoming call display data in which “Akaoni” is drawn as a character that makes an image of the other party who has received a call, a “response” button 3a, and a “reject” button 3b. . This makes it possible for the responding user to feel as if a call has actually come from “Akaoni”.

  The incoming call instructing user or responding user touches the “reject” button 3b on the incoming call screen when rejecting the incoming call. When detecting that the “reject” button 3b is touched on the incoming call screen, the control device 104 returns the display on the touch panel 101 to the incoming call situation selection screen shown in FIG. Further, the control device 104 stops the ringing tone being output.

  On the other hand, when responding to an incoming call, the responding user touches the “response” button 3a on the incoming call screen. When the control device 104 detects that the “response” button 3a is touched on the incoming call screen, as described above, the control device 104 associates with the incoming call situation corresponding to the “when you do not hear” button 2a in advance. Call voice data recorded in the memory is read and played back. As a result, call voice data suitable for an incoming situation where the child does not hear anything is output from the speaker 105. As this call voice data, “Akaoni” screams with a frightening voice, such as a voice message recorded with a message that is intended to listen to the child with fear For example, the responding user who has heard this can expect to hear what the parent says.

  In addition, the control device 104 displays the call screen shown in FIG. On the call screen, display data during a call in which “Akaoni” is drawn as a character for making an image of a call partner and an “end call” button 3c are displayed. This makes it possible for the responding user to feel as if he / she is really talking to “Akaoni”.

  Thereafter, the control device 104 displays the call-time display data to be displayed on the call screen as the call voice data is reproduced, as shown in FIGS. 3 (c), 3 (d), 3 (e) and 3. The animation is changed and displayed in the order of (f). As a result, “Akaoni” can be moved to enhance the realism. In order to perform this animation display, for example, animation data for switching and displaying image data at a predetermined timing is recorded as call display data, and the control device 104 starts reproduction of call voice data. The reproduction of the animation data may be started on the call screen.

  Alternatively, a plurality of image data may be recorded as call display data for one incoming situation, and the switching timing of the call display data on the call screen may be set in advance. For example, the call screen shown in FIG. 3B is switched to the call screen shown in FIG. 3C after 5 seconds from the reproduction of the call voice data, and the call screen shown in FIG. In addition, information indicating the switching timing is recorded in association with the call voice data, and the control device 104 may switch the display data during the call to be displayed on the call screen based on the information indicating the switching timing.

  When the control device 104 detects that the “end call” button 3c is touched by the user on the call screen, the control device 104 stops the reproduction of the call voice data and displays the display on the touch panel 101 as shown in FIG. Return to the situation selection screen.

When an affirmative determination is made in step S130, the process proceeds to step S140, and the control device 104 stops the reproduction of the call voice data. Then, it returns to step S10.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S130, the process proceeds to step S150. In step S150, control device 104 determines whether or not the reproduction of the call voice data has been completed. If a negative determination is made in step S150, the process returns to step S130. On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in step S150, the process returns to step S10.

According to the present embodiment described above, the following operational effects can be obtained.
(1) The control device 104 outputs an incoming situation selection screen displaying a list of a plurality of incoming situations to the touch panel 101, and accepts selection of any one incoming situation from the incoming instruction user on the incoming situation selection screen. An incoming call instruction for a virtual telephone corresponding to the selected incoming situation is accepted, and an incoming call notification is made when an incoming call instruction for a virtual telephone is accepted. After that, a response instruction for an incoming call is accepted from the responding user, and when the response instruction is accepted, the call voice data corresponding to the incoming situation is read and output from the call voice data recorded in the memory in advance. . Accordingly, it is possible to provide a virtual incoming call having a content suitable for the incoming call situation and a virtual call based on an instruction from the incoming call instruction user.

(2) The call voice data is recorded in the memory in association with each incoming situation, and the control device 104 reads the call voice data recorded in association with the incoming situation for which the incoming instruction has been received from the memory and reproduces it. I tried to do it. Accordingly, if call voice data having contents suitable for the incoming situation is prepared in advance, the responding user can hear the voice having contents suitable for the incoming situation.

(3) The control device 104 reads the incoming call display data corresponding to the incoming call situation instructed to be received from the incoming call display data recorded in the memory in advance, and displays the incoming call display data. Is displayed on the touch panel 101. As a result, it is possible to make the responding user feel as if there was an incoming call from the other party displayed in the incoming call display data.

(4) A response button 3a for accepting a response instruction from the user is displayed on the incoming screen together with display data at the time of the incoming call. When the control device 104 detects a touch of the response button 3a by the response user, the response user The response instruction by was accepted. In this way, by allowing the responding user to respond to a virtual incoming call with the same operation as during a normal incoming call, the incoming call can be made more realistic.

(5) The control device 104 starts the output of the call voice data, reads out the call display data corresponding to the incoming call situation that received the call instruction from the call display data recorded in the memory in advance, Displayed on the call screen. This makes it possible for the responding user to feel as if he / she is actually talking to the other party displayed in the call display data.

(6) The control device 104 displays the display data during a call with animation. As a result, it is possible to increase the realism by giving movement to the display data during a call.

-Modification-
Note that the virtual telephone receiving device of the above-described embodiment can be modified as follows.
(1) In the embodiment described above, when the control device 104 detects that any one of the incoming situation selection buttons 2a to 2f is touched on the incoming situation selection screen, the control apparatus 104 responds to the touched button. An incoming screen on which incoming display data is displayed is displayed on the touch panel 101, and a preset ring tone is output via the speaker 105, so that a response user is addressed based on an instruction from the incoming instruction user. An example of performing a virtual incoming call has been described. However, the incoming call instructing user may be able to set a waiting time from when the incoming call instruction is given until there is a virtual incoming call. For example, the control device 104 causes the touch panel 101 to display a timer setting screen for accepting a setting of a waiting time until a virtual incoming call is made based on an instruction from the incoming instruction user, and the incoming call is received on the timer setting screen. The designation of the standby time by the instructing user may be accepted.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a timer setting screen. The incoming call instructing user can display the timer setting screen on the touch panel 101 by touching a timer setting screen calling button (not shown) displayed on the incoming situation selection screen. In the timer setting screen shown in FIG. 10, a setting target situation selection list box 10a, standby time setting buttons 10b to 10d, a “SET” button 10e, and a “Back” button 10f are displayed. When the control device 104 detects that the “Back” button 10 f has been touched, the control device 104 returns the display on the touch panel 101 to the incoming situation selection screen shown in FIG. 2.

  The setting target situation selection list box 10a is a list box for selecting an incoming situation, and the incoming call instructing user touches the setting target situation selection list box 10a to display a list of incoming situations and waits from the list. Set the time and select the incoming situation for which you want to give incoming instructions.

  Thereafter, the incoming call instructing user includes a waiting time setting button 10b for setting 10 seconds as a waiting time, a waiting time setting button 10c for setting 20 seconds, and a waiting time setting button 10d for setting 30 seconds. Select and touch the button corresponding to the waiting time to be set. The control device 104 displays a check mark on the button touched by the incoming call instruction user among the waiting time setting buttons 10b to 10d to indicate the current selection status. The example shown in FIG. 10 shows an example in which the standby time setting button 10b for setting 10 seconds later is touched.

  The incoming call instruction user touches any one of the standby time setting buttons 10b to 10d to select the standby time, and then touches the “SET” button 10e to select the incoming situation selected in the setting target situation selection list box 10a. As an object, an incoming call instruction is performed with the time selected by the standby time setting buttons 10b to 10d set as the standby time.

  When the control device 104 detects that the “SET” button 10 e is touched by the incoming call instruction user, the control device 104 selects the incoming situation selected in the setting target situation selection list box 10 a and the waiting time setting buttons 10 b to 10 d. The standby time set by using is specified, and the time measurement using the internal clock is started. Then, when the time measured using the internal clock reaches the set standby time, the control device 104 starts a virtual incoming call process according to the incoming call situation described above.

  If the incoming call instruction user touches the incoming situation selection button and there is a virtual incoming call immediately, a call will be made before the virtual call receiving device 100 is handed over to the responding user, and the responding user will have an unnatural impression. However, if the waiting time can be set as in this modification, the time from when the incoming call instructing user operates the virtual call receiving device 100 until there is a virtual incoming call Therefore, it is highly likely that the responding user sees that the incoming call is received by the virtual telephone receiving device 100 that is not operated by anyone, and it is highly likely that the user feels that a call has been received. be able to.

  In the example of FIG. 10, the incoming call instruction can select the waiting time from 10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds, but the method of setting the waiting time is not limited to this. For example, the waiting time options may be increased, such as 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, or the like. In addition, an input field may be provided so that the incoming call instruction user can directly input the standby time, and the control device 104 may set the time input in the input field as the standby time.

  Further, the incoming call instructing user may arbitrarily set the time at which the user desires a virtual incoming call instead of the above-described waiting time. For example, when the incoming call instructing user wants the child to fall asleep before 21:00, he selects “when the child does not sleep” as the incoming call situation and sets the incoming time to 21:00. In this case, the control device 104 may perform a virtual incoming call process similar to the case where the above-mentioned “when not sleeping” button 2 b is touched at a designated time. As a result, the incoming user can set a time in advance and give a virtual incoming instruction.

(2) In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which a plurality of incoming situations that are likely to be a child's selfishness are prepared in advance to support child discipline. However, this incoming situation may be appropriately added by upgrading the version of the virtual telephone incoming application. In addition, the provider of the incoming virtual phone call application provides a new incoming call situation individually to the user who installed the virtual call incoming application, and the user can select a desired incoming call situation from the additionally provided incoming call situations. You may be able to download and add situations. For example, when a child lies, a child does not want to take a bath, or when a child does not eat vegetables, the user selects a desired incoming situation and additionally obtains it. You can do it. It should be noted that the provider of the virtual telephone incoming call application may additionally provide a new incoming situation free of charge or may additionally provide it for a fee.

  When the user is instructed to add an incoming situation, the control device 104 receives the above-mentioned incoming display data as data necessary for the addition of the incoming situation from an external server connected via a communication line, The call display data and call voice data are received and associated with each other and recorded in a nonvolatile memory. Also, an incoming situation selection button corresponding to the incoming situation that is additionally acquired is added to the incoming situation selection screen.

  As described above, if an incoming situation can be additionally acquired, a new incoming situation can be provided from the provider side, and the version can be upgraded to an application compatible with various situations. In addition, even if there is an incoming call situation that has already been prepared, responding users will become accustomed to the existing version by providing a different version of the incoming call display data, call display data, and call voice data. Even if the effect disappears, you can add a new version and expect the effect again.

(3) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the incoming situation selection screen is the screen shown in FIG. 2 has been described. However, buttons for calling various functions of the virtual telephone incoming call application may be arranged on the incoming situation selection screen. For example, a button to call a tutorial screen that introduces the basic usage of the virtual phone call application and the function of each button, a button to call a screen with inquiries about the virtual phone call application and frequently asked questions, virtual When the incoming call application is reinstalled, a button or the like for calling a function for restoring the incoming situations additionally purchased before the reinstallation may be arranged.

(4) In the above-described embodiment, the control device 104 switches and displays the call-time display data to be displayed on the call screen at every preset time as the call voice data is played back. An example in which animation is displayed has been described. The control device 104 may also display the incoming call display data in an animation on the incoming call screen. Further, the display data during a call or the display data during an incoming call may be a still image without displaying an animation.

(5) In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a plurality of incoming situations that tend to be a child's selfishness are prepared in advance in the virtual telephone incoming call application to support child discipline. However, the virtual call receiving application can discipline the child if the incoming call instructing user gives an incoming call instruction and the responding user responds to the virtual incoming call based on the incoming call instruction, so that the response to the responding user can be expected. It can also be used for purposes other than supporting

(6) In the embodiment described above, incoming call display data, call display data, and call voice data are recorded in a non-volatile memory of the control device 104, that is, in an internal recording medium built in the virtual phone call receiving device 100. An example has been described. However, the electronic medium for recording these data is not limited to the internal recording medium. For example, the recording may be performed on an external recording medium that can be attached to the virtual telephone receiving device 100 such as a memory card inserted in a memory slot (not shown) included in the virtual telephone receiving device 100. Or you may record on the recording device with which an external apparatus is equipped like the hard disk drive of the server connected via the communication line.

  When the data recording destination is an external recording medium, the control device 104 may access the external recording medium and read and acquire the data. If the data recording destination is a recording device provided in the external device, the control device 104 may access the external device via the communication line and download and acquire the data from the recording device. Note that the incoming call display data, the call display data, and the call voice data may all be recorded on the same electronic medium, or may be recorded on different electronic media. For example, image data such as incoming call display data and call display data may be recorded in an internal recording medium, and call voice data may be recorded in a recording device provided in an external device.

(7) In the embodiment described above, the call voice data is recorded together with the program data of the virtual call receiving application so that the way of speaking and how to make a pause is recorded in advance so as to be the same as the actual conversation. An example was described. However, the call voice data may be arbitrarily created by the user. For example, a recording mode for recording call voice data is provided in the virtual telephone incoming call application, and when the control apparatus 104 is set to the recording mode by the incoming call instruction user, the control apparatus 104 receives a call from the incoming call instruction user via the microphone 103. Accept voice input. The incoming call instructing user utters a message having contents suitable for the assumed incoming situation after designating the assumed incoming situation. When the utterance voice from the incoming call instructing user is input via the microphone 103, the control device 104 sets the input voice data as call voice data, and associates this with the incoming call situation designated by the incoming call instructing user. Record in memory. In addition, the control device 104 adds an incoming situation selection button for selecting the designated incoming situation to the incoming situation selection screen. Thus, the incoming call instruction user can arbitrarily add an incoming call situation that is not assumed in the virtual telephone incoming call application.

  In this case, the incoming call instructing user may arbitrarily create incoming call display data and call display data and associate them with the added incoming call situation. Or you may make it select from the display data at the time of an incoming call and display data at the time of a call prepared beforehand, and you may make it link with the added incoming call situation.

  As described above, when the incoming call instructing user can record and create the call voice data, the call voice data is based on the voice of the incoming call instructing user himself or the voice of an acquaintance that the incoming call instructing user can request to speak. It becomes. For this reason, the voice of the other party of the virtual incoming call becomes a familiar voice, and there is a possibility that the responding user may notice that it is a virtual incoming call. In order to solve this problem, the control device 104 may convert the utterance voice data of the incoming call instructing user input via the microphone 103 using a predetermined algorithm to generate call voice data. For the process for converting the audio data, a process mounted on a known voice changer or the like may be used. And the control apparatus 104 should just record the audio | voice data after a voice change in a memory as call audio | voice data. As a result, even if the voice data is recorded with a voice familiar to the responding user, the voice change function is used to change the voice so that the responding user does not notice that it is a virtual incoming call. be able to.

(8) In the above-described embodiment, the call voice data has been described as an example of data recorded in advance so that the way of speaking and how to make a pause are the same as in actual conversation. However, sound effects and music data may be used as long as the sound corresponds to the incoming situation. For example, in order to let the children say something, the sound that the child may be afraid of, such as sound effects such as thunder and ambulance sounds, music that is likely to come out of ghosts, etc. is used as call voice data May be. Also, conversation and sound effects may be combined, such as inserting a sound effect of lightning after a threatening word that lightning will fall if you do not speak.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the configurations in the above-described embodiments as long as the characteristic functions of the present invention are not impaired. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which combined the above-mentioned embodiment and a some modification.
