  The control unit 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 120, and a ROM (Read Only Memory) 130, and functions as a computer that controls each part of the terminal device 1. To do.

The CPU 110 executes various programs (program codes) stored in the ROM 130 according to input signals input from the respective units of the terminal device 1 and outputs output signals to the respective units based on the programs related to the execution. The overall operation of the terminal device 1 is controlled. Specifically, the CPU 110 performs drive control of the communication module unit 10, execution control for various operation signals when the operation unit 40 is operated, image display control via the display unit 50, and audio output unit 55. Perform audio output control.
The RAM 120 has a program storage area for expanding a processing program executed by the CPU 110, a data storage area for temporarily storing input data and a processing result generated when the processing program is executed, and the like. Prepare. Specifically, the RAM 120 is a character string for the CPU 110 to display on the display unit 50, a current value of a flag used when the CPU 110 executes the processing program (0: normal value, -1: error value, 1 : Communication end value), the mode (transmission mode or reception mode) currently set in the own device 1a, the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 31, the angular velocity detected by the angular velocity detection sensor 32, and the like are stored.

  Next, the communication partner search program and attitude / motion acquisition program stored in the ROM 130 will be described.

The communication partner search program sequentially switches between a pattern set on the transmitting side and a pattern set on the receiving side at the time of communication with the communication partner 1b by the own device 1a, and has a function of searching for the communication partner 1b. It is a program for making it run.
Specifically, when the CPU 110 executes the communication partner search program, the transmission mode is set at a random time interval based on a random coefficient stored in advance in the ROM 130 via the communication module unit 10 as shown in FIG. The pattern to be set and the pattern to be set to the reception mode are sequentially switched. At the timing T1 when the own device 1a is in the transmission mode and the communication partner 1b is set in the reception mode, and at the timing T2 when the own device 1a is in the reception mode and the communication partner 1b is set in the transmission mode, the communication module Since the response request signal and the response signal can be transmitted and received by the unit 10, the communication partner 1b is successfully searched (communication state is established). The transmission mode / reception mode set for the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b by the random switching is a temporary setting for establishing a communication state, and when the communication process is executed, the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b Which is set to the transmission mode / reception mode is determined when the communication processing program is executed.

The posture / motion acquisition program is a program that causes the CPU 110 to execute a function of acquiring the posture / motion of the terminal device 1 based on the acceleration and angular velocity of the terminal device 1 detected by the sensor unit 30.
Specifically, the CPU 110 acquires the respective angular velocities in the yaw direction, the rolling direction, and the pitching direction from the angular velocity detection sensor 32 in a state where the terminal device 1 is tilted by the user. Then, the CPU 110 derives the posture of the terminal device 1 as posture change amounts Θx, Θy, and Θz based on the angular velocity. This posture change amount represents, for example, the inclination angle (°) of the terminal device 1 from the plane formed by two axes other than the subscript Θ (for example, the XY axis when the subscript is z), and the two axes Acquired by the average of the inclination angle of each rotation. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, Θz is an inclination angle of the terminal device 1 from the plane formed by the XY axes, and is inclined clockwise (the terminal device 1 is inclined from the bottom surface side to the upper surface side). In this case, a positive direction (0 ° to 180 °) is assumed, and a case where the terminal device 1 is inclined counterclockwise (from the upper surface side toward the bottom surface side) is defined as a negative direction (0 ° to −180 °). Therefore, the CPU 110 determines that the terminal device 1 is in a downward posture when in the range of | 90 ° | <Θz ≦ | 180 ° |, and the terminal device 1 when in the range of | 0 ° | ≦ Θz <| 90 ° |. Can be judged as an upward-facing posture.
Next, the CPU 110 translates the terminal device 1 in the X, Y, and Z axis directions or rotates in the yaw direction (around the Z axis) based on the identified (derived) attitude of the terminal device 1. The acceleration and angular velocity in this case are acquired from the acceleration sensor 31 and the angular velocity detection sensor 32. Then, the CPU 110 performs a predetermined calculation process based on the acquired acceleration and angular velocity, and a translational operation amount indicating the amount of translational movement in the X, Y, and Z axis directions with reference to the attitude of the identified terminal device 1. Mx, My, Mz (m / s) and a rotational operation amount Mr (° / s) indicating the amount of rotational movement in the yaw direction are derived (acquired) as the operation of the terminal device 1.

  Next, the function identification code table 131 and the operation pattern table 132 stored in the ROM 130 will be described.

The function identification code table 131 is a table including a plurality of function identification codes K indicated by 001 to 111 in FIG.
Each function identification code K of 001 to 111 indicates the terminal device 1 in the transmission mode and the reception mode based on the attitude of the terminal device 1, as shown in the first and second stages of the function identification code table 131. The codes are classified according to whether or not the CPU 110 executes processing to be set to any one and whether or not the CPU 110 determines the content of communication processing based on the operation of the terminal device 1.
Here, in the second row of FIG. 6, “both own device / communication partner” means that the CPU 110 determines the contents of communication processing based on the operations of both the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b. “Only one of the own device 1a / communication partner 1b” means that the CPU 110 determines the content of communication processing based on the operation of either one of the own device 1a or the communication partner 1b (the terminal device 1 set to the transmission mode). Point to.
In the third row of FIG. 6, the permitted operation identification code A is a code for identifying the operation of the terminal device 1 permitted by each function identification code K of 001 to 111, and is 4 bits ( 0000-1111). Here, the first bit is an operation to rotate the terminal device 1 in the yaw direction (an operation to rotate around the Z axis corresponding to the rotation operation amount Mr), and the next bit is an operation to translate the terminal device 1 in the Z axis direction. (Operation to swing in the Z-axis direction corresponding to the translation operation amount Mz), the next bit is an operation to translate the terminal device 1 in the Y-axis direction (operation to swing in the Y-axis direction corresponding to the translation operation amount My), The bit represents whether or not to perform the operation of moving the terminal device 1 in the X-axis direction (the operation of shaking in the X-axis direction corresponding to the translation operation amount Mx) (bit value: 1/0).
When the own device 1a communicates with the communication partner 1b, the user specifies in advance one function identification code K from the function identification code K provided in the function identification code table 131 via the operation unit 40. Composed. Of course, the CPU 110 may be configured to designate a specific function identification code K in advance. Also, a plurality of function identification codes K may be designated, or all of the function identification codes K may be designated, or a plurality of function identification codes K may be designated selectively for the purpose of limiting functions.

  Further, based on the combination (operation pattern) of the function identification code K and the operation identification code A permitted by the function identification code K, and the inclination or operation of the terminal device 1 by the user, the operation pattern is communication described later. The contents of the communication processing of the CPU 110 performed when specified by the execution of the processing program are described in the operation pattern table 132 of FIG. The operations (X, Y, Z, R) described in the column of the operation identification code A of the operation pattern table 132 are the types of operations related to the respective operation identification codes A, and are respectively X, Y, Z. Represents translational movement in the axial direction and rotational movement in the yaw direction.

Next, the operation patterns 1 to 11 of the terminal device 1 corresponding to each stage of the operation pattern table 132 are illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 (i) to (xi). Here, the arrows shown in (i) to (xi) of FIGS. 8 and 9 represent translational movement of the terminal device 1 in the X, Y, and Z axis directions and rotational movement in the yaw direction.
Further, in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 (i) to (xi) excluding FIG. 9 (vii) and (viii), the terminal device 1 set to the transmission mode for convenience is the terminal 1a and the terminal set to the reception mode. The apparatus 1 is a communication partner 1b. That is, when processing for setting the terminal device 1 to either the transmission mode or the reception mode is performed in the attitude of the terminal device 1 as in the operation patterns 1 to 6 of FIGS. 8 (i) to (vi) (function identification). When the code K is 001 to 011), the CPU 110 determines that the terminal device 1 in the downward posture (upward) is the transmission mode and the terminal device 1 in the upward posture (downward) is the reception mode.
On the other hand, when the CPU 110 does not perform the process of setting the terminal device 1 to one of the transmission mode and the reception mode in the attitude of the terminal device 1, the function identification code K is 111, which corresponds to FIG. ), The terminal device 1 on the side where the user performs the translational movement operation and the rotation operation of the terminal device 1 is set as the transmission mode, and the terminal device 1 in the stopped state is set as the reception mode. 9 (vii), when the function identification code K is 110 and the operation identification code A is 0010, the communication processing content is data synchronization, and either the own device 1a or the communication partner 1b is When the transmission mode or the reception mode may be used, the CPU 110 uses the transmission mode / reception mode set when the communication partner search program is executed for the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b. In addition, when the function identification code K is 110 and the operation identification code A is 0100 as shown in the operation pattern 8 in FIG. 9 (viii), the CPU 110 correctly translates in the Z-axis direction as viewed from the own device 1a. If (Z (+)), the own device 1a is in the transmission mode, the communication partner 1b is in the receiving mode, and the translation in the Z-axis direction viewed from the own device 1a is negative (Z (-)) It is determined that the machine 1a is in the reception mode and the communication partner 1b is in the transmission mode.

In the contact / proximity column of the operation pattern table 132, as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 (i) to (xi), each operation pattern 1 to 11 is assigned to the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b. Is realized in a close contact state (close contact state) or in a close state (proximity state).
Specifically, the close contact state is, for example, the posture change amounts Θx, Θy, Θz (Θxa, Θya, Θza) of the own device 1a and the posture change amounts Θx, Θy, Θz (Θxb, Θyb, Θzb) of the communication partner 1b. ) || Θxa | −90 ° | = || Θxb | −90 ° |, || Θya | −90 ° | = || Θyb | −90 ° |, || Θza | −90 ° This is a case where | = || Θzb | −90 ° | The positional relationship and posture change amount between the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b in the case where the contact state is established are illustrated in contact types 1 to 4 in FIG. In the proximity state, the posture change amount of the own device 1a and the posture change amount of the communication partner 1b are increased or decreased by a predetermined value in the posture change amount of each of the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b in the close contact state. A state that is within the range (allowable range) below the value. As an example, the proximity formats 1 to 4 in FIG. 11 illustrate the positional relationship and the posture change amount between the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b in the proximity state when the predetermined value is 15 °.

  Next, the communication processing program stored in the ROM 130 will be described.

The communication processing program specifies an operation pattern based on the attitude and operation of the terminal device 1 detected by the sensor unit 30, and has a function of communicating with the communication partner 1b with communication processing content corresponding to the specified operation pattern. This is a program to be executed.
Specifically, when the terminal device 1 is tilted by the user and translated in the X, Y, and Z axis directions and rotated in the yaw direction (around the Z axis), the CPU 110 executes the posture / motion acquisition program, Based on the acceleration and angular velocity of the terminal device 1 detected by the sensor unit 30, the posture change amounts Θx, Θy, Θz and the motion amounts (translation motion amounts Mx, My, Mz, rotation motion amount Mr) are acquired.
Then, when the motion identification code K designated in advance is 110 or 111, the CPU 110 determines the terminal device 1 based on the acquired translational motion amounts Mx, My, Mz and the rotational motion amount Mr as described above. When either the transmission mode or the reception mode is set and the operation identification code K is 001 to 011, it is determined whether the terminal device 1 is in the upward posture or the downward posture based on the posture change amount Θz. Then, the terminal device 1 is set to either the transmission mode or the reception mode.
Further, for example, the CPU 110 determines in advance whether or not the rotational operation amount Mr exceeds a predetermined rotational operation amount Dr (° / s) (that is, within a predetermined time from the attitude of the terminal device 1 as the reference). Whether or not the rotation operation is greater than or equal to the rotation amount), and if the rotation operation amount Mr is greater than or equal to the rotation operation amount Dr, it is determined that the user has performed the rotation operation in the yaw direction. In addition, when the CPU 110 determines that the rotation operation is not performed by the user, the CPU 110 identifies one of the absolute values of the translational operation amounts Mx, My, and Mz that is the maximum value, and thus any one of the XYZ axis directions. It is determined that the user has performed a translational movement in the direction of. Then, the CPU 110 specifies one operation identification code A from 0000 to 1111 based on the determination result.
Next, the CPU 110 refers to the operation pattern table 132 and identifies an operation pattern corresponding to the combination of the identified operation identification code A and the function identification code K designated in advance from the operation patterns 1 to 11. Then, the CPU 110 extracts the communication processing content corresponding to the identified operation pattern, and communicates with the communication partner 1b by transmitting and receiving a communication processing signal corresponding to the communication processing content via the communication module unit 10. In the case of operation patterns 2, 3, 7, and 8, when the own device 1a is set to the transmission mode, the CPU 110 acquires the operation amount of the communication partner 1b from the communication partner 1b via the communication module unit 10. The operation pattern is specified based on both the operation amount of the own device 1a and the operation amount of the communication partner 1b (that is, when the difference between both operation amounts is equal to or less than a predetermined value). In the case of the operation patterns 4 to 6 and 9 to 11, the operation amount of the communication partner 1b is acquired from the communication partner 1b via the communication module unit 10, and the communication partner 1b is determined based on the operation amount of the communication partner 1b. When it is determined that the vehicle is stopped (that is, the translational motion amounts Mx, My, Mz, and the rotational motion amount Mr are all equal to or less than a predetermined value), the motion pattern is specified based on the motion amount of the own device 1a. Do.

"Communication state establishment process"
Next, communication state establishment processing by the terminal device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, when the user performs a communication start operation via the operation unit 40, the CPU 110 executes the communication partner search program and sets the own device 1a to the transmission mode (step S1).
Next, the CPU 110 transmits a response request signal via the communication module unit 10 and searches for the communication partner 1b set in the reception mode (step S2).
Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the search for the communication partner 1b has been successful based on whether or not the response processing signal has been received from the communication partner 1b set to the reception mode (step S3). If it is determined that the process has succeeded (step S3; Yes), the process proceeds to step S9.
On the other hand, if the CPU 110 determines in step S3 that the search for the communication partner 1b has not been successful (step S3; No), it determines whether it is the timing for switching to the reception mode (step S4). If it is determined that the timing is not reached (step S4; No), the processing after step S3 is repeated.

Next, when CPU 110 determines in step S4 that it is the timing for switching to the reception mode (step S4; Yes), CPU 110a sets own device 1a to the reception mode (step S5).
Next, the CPU 110 makes a response request signal receivable via the communication module unit 10 and searches for the communication partner 1b set in the transmission mode (step S6).
Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the search for the communication partner 1b has been successful based on whether or not a response request signal has been received from the communication partner 1b set to the transmission mode (step S7). If it is determined that the process has succeeded (step S7; Yes), a response signal is transmitted to the communication partner 1b, and the process proceeds to step S9.
On the other hand, if the CPU 110 determines in step S7 that the search for the communication partner 1b has not been successful (step S7; No), it determines whether it is the timing for switching to the transmission mode (step S8). If it is determined that the timing is not reached (step S8; No), the processing after step S7 is repeated. On the other hand, when CPU 110 determines that it is the switching timing in step S8 (step S8; Yes), it repeats the processes in and after step S1.

  If it is determined in step S3 or step S7 that the communication partner 1b has been successfully searched (step S3; Yes, step S7; Yes), the transmission mode set in step S1 or set in step S5 is set. The reception mode is determined as the temporary current mode of the own device 1a (step S9), and this process is terminated.

"Function confirmation process"
Next, function confirmation processing by the terminal device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 (i) and (ii). Here, FIG. 13 (i) shows the process when the own device 1a is temporarily set to the transmission mode (the communication partner 1b is the reception mode) in the communication state establishment process, and FIG. The processing when the own device 1a is temporarily set to the reception mode (the communication partner 1b is the transmission mode) in the communication state establishment processing is shown respectively. In the following description, for convenience, it is indicated that the one with the subscript s is on the transmission mode side, and the one with the subscript r is on the reception mode side.

(Transmission mode processing)
First, as shown in FIG. 13 (i), the user designates one function identification code Ks from the function identification code table 131 via the operation unit 40, and the operation identification code As (the designated function identification code). When one of the operation identification codes As allowed by Ks) is selected, the CPU 110 acquires the group identification code Gs of the own device 1a from the ROM 130, and the function identification code Ks, the operation identification code As, and the group identification code Gs. The code string KsAsGs to be configured is set (step S21).
It should be noted that the function identification code Ks is not limited to the case where the user designates / inputs, but the CPU 110 may of course be configured to extract the function identification code Ks designated in advance from the function identification code table 131.

Next, the CPU 110 transmits the code string KsAsGs set in step S1 to the communication partner 1b in the reception mode via the communication module unit 10 (step S22).
Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the code string KrArGr (the code string set for the communication partner 1b in the reception mode) received from the communication partner 1b in the reception mode can be received in step S50 described later (step S23). ), When it is determined that it has not been received (step S23; No), it waits until it is received.
On the other hand, when CPU 110 determines that it has been received in step S23 (step S23; Yes), CPU 110 determines whether or not group identification code Gs matches group identification code Gr (step S24).

If the CPU 110 determines that they do not match at step S24 (step S24; No), the CPU 110 outputs an error sound via the voice output unit 55 (step S25), and the group is established between the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b. The difference is displayed on the display unit 50 as an error screen (step S26), and the process proceeds to step S30.
On the other hand, if the CPU 110 determines in step S24 that they match (step S24; Yes), whether or not the function identification code Ks and the operation identification code As match the function identification code Kr and the operation identification code Ar. Is determined (step S27). If the CPU 110 determines that they do not match in step S27 (step S27; No), the CPU 110 outputs an error sound via the voice output unit 55 (step S28), and functions or operates between the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b. A message indicating that the operation is different is displayed on the display unit 50 as an error screen (step S29). Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed or the user has performed an operation for canceling the error state via the operation unit 40 (step S30), the CPU 110 ends the process and executes the “communication state establishment process” again.
If CPU 110 determines that they match in step S27 (step S27; Yes), it outputs a melody sound for starting communication via voice output unit 55 (step S31) and informs display unit 50 that communication is started. Are displayed (step S32), the flag is set to 0 representing the normal state (step S33), and this process is terminated.

(Reception mode processing)
First, as shown in FIG. 13 (ii), the CPU 110 determines whether or not the code string KsAsGs transmitted in step S22 has been received (step S41), and determines that it has not been received (step S41). No), wait until it is received.
On the other hand, if the CPU 110 determines that it has been received in step S41 (step S41; Yes), it acquires the group identification code Gr of its own device 1a from the ROM 130, and determines whether or not it matches the group identification code Gs. (Step S42).

When the CPU 110 determines that they match in step S42 (step S42; Yes), the CPU 110 determines whether or not there is a function identification code Kr that matches the function identification code Ks from the function identification code table 131. In addition, when there is a function identification code Kr that matches, the operation identification code Ar allowed by the function identification code Kr is determined whether or not there is a match with the operation identification code As, thereby matching the KsAs. It is determined whether or not KrAr to be present exists (step S43).
Next, when it is determined that there is a KrAr that matches KsAs in Step S43 (Step S43; Yes), the CPU 110 uses the group identification code Gr determined to match in Step S42 and the KrAr determined to match in Step S43. The code string KrArGr is generated (step S44). Then, the CPU 110 sets the flag to 0 representing the normal state (step S45), and proceeds to the process of step S50.
On the other hand, if the CPU 110 determines in step S43 that there is no KrAr that matches KsAs (step S43; No), the CPU 110 assigns an error value to KrAr and sets the code string KrArGr (Gr is a value that matches Gs). Generate (step S46). Then, the CPU 110 sets the flag to −1 representing an error state (step S47), and proceeds to the process of step S50.

Next, if the CPU 110 determines that they do not match in step S42 (step S42; No), the CPU 110 generates a code string KrArGr by assigning an error value to KrArGr (step S48). Then, the CPU 110 sets a flag to −1 representing an error state (step S49).
Next, the CPU 110 transmits the code string KrArGr generated in steps S44, S46, and S48 to the communication partner 1b in the transmission mode (step S50). Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the flag is 0 (step S51). If the CPU 110 determines that the flag is not 0 (step S51; No), the CPU 110 outputs an error sound via the audio output unit 55 (step S51). S52) The fact that there is an error is displayed as an error screen on the display unit 50 for a certain period of time (step S53). Then, after a certain period of time has elapsed or the user has performed an operation for canceling the error state via the operation unit 40 (step S54), the present process is terminated and the “communication state establishment process” is executed again. On the other hand, when the CPU 110 determines that the flag is 0 (step S51; Yes), the display unit 50 displays the start of communication (step S55), and ends this process.

  Note that in step S27 and step S43, the determination condition is that the function identification code Ks and the function identification code Kr are completely matched. However, as shown in FIG. 14, the CPU 110 uses the function identification code Ks and the function identification code. Even when Kr is different, a configuration may be adopted in which it is determined that the function identification code Ks and the function identification code Kr match in accordance with the value of one of the function identification codes.

"Communication execution process"
Next, communication execution processing by the terminal device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the currently set flag is 0 (step S101), and determines that it is not 0 (the flag is -1 indicating an error state or 1 indicating a communication end state). In the case (step S101; No), this process is terminated.
On the other hand, if the CPU 110 determines that it is 0 in step S101 (step S101; Yes), it determines whether or not the first digit of the function identification code K is 0 (that is, the attitude of the terminal device 1). Based on this, it is determined whether or not the CPU 110 executes processing for setting either the transmission mode or the reception mode (step S102).
If the CPU 110 determines in step S102 that the first digit of the function identification code K is not 0 (step S102; No), the CPU 110 executes a “second operation determination process” described later (step S103). The subsequent processing is repeated.
On the other hand, if the CPU 110 determines in step S102 that the first digit of the function identification code K is 0 (step S102; Yes), the posture change amount Θx, Θy and Θz are acquired (step S104).
Next, CPU 110 determines whether or not the current mode determined in step S9 is a transmission mode (step S105).

Next, when the CPU 110 determines that the current mode is the transmission mode in step S105 (step S105; Yes), the communication module unit obtains the posture change amounts Θx, Θy, and Θz of the communication partner 1b from the communication partner 1b in the reception mode. 10 (step S106).
Next, the CPU 110 compares the posture change amounts Θx, Θy, Θz of the own device 1a acquired in step S104 with the posture change amounts Θx, Θy, Θz of the communication partner 1b acquired in step S106 (step S106). S107), it is determined whether or not the difference between the comparison results is within an allowable range (step S108).
If the CPU 110 determines that it is not within the allowable range in step S108 (step S108; No), the CPU 110 outputs an error sound via the voice output unit 55 (step S109), and the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b are connected. Is displayed on the display unit 50 as an error screen (step S110). Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed or the user has performed an operation for canceling the error state via the operation unit 40 (step S111), the CPU 110 ends the process and executes the “communication state establishment process” again. .

On the other hand, if the CPU 110 determines that it is within the allowable range in step S108 (step S108; Yes), the attitude change amount Θz of the own machine 1a is in the range of 90 ° <| Θz | ≦ 180 ° (downward posture). ) And the posture change amount Θz of the communication partner 1b is in the range of 0 ° ≦ | Θz | <90 ° (upward posture) (step S112).
If the CPU 110 determines in step S112 that the own device 1a is in the downward posture and the communication partner 1b is in the upward posture (step S112; Yes), the own device 1a is determined in the transmission mode (step S113). Then, an instruction signal for confirming the reception mode is transmitted to the communication partner 1b (step S114). Next, the CPU 110 executes “first operation determination processing” (step S115) and “transmission mode processing” (step S116), which will be described later, and repeats the processing after step S101.

On the other hand, when the CPU 110 determines in step S112 that the posture change amount Θz of the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b is not in the above range (step S112; No), the posture change amount Θz of the own device 1a is 0 ° ≦ It is determined whether or not the range of | Θz | <90 ° (upward posture) and the posture change amount Θz of the communication partner 1b are in the range of 90 ° ≦ | Θz | <180 ° (downward posture). (Step S117).
When it is determined in step S117 that the attitude change amount Θz of the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b is within the above range (step S117; Yes), an instruction signal for switching to the transmission mode is transmitted to the communication partner 1b. (Step S118), a process of switching the own device 1a to the reception mode is executed (Step S119). Next, the CPU 110 executes “first operation determination processing” (step S120) and “reception mode processing” (step S121), which will be described later, and repeats the processing after step S101.
If it is determined in step S117 that the attitude change amount Θz of the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b is not within the above range (step S117; No), an error sound is output via the audio output unit 55 (step S122). Then, the display unit 50 displays an error screen indicating that the transmission / reception mode cannot be determined based on the attitudes of the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b (step S123). Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed or the user has performed an operation for canceling the error state via the operation unit 40 (step S124), the CPU 110 ends the process and executes the “communication state establishment process” again. .

Next, when the CPU 110 determines in step S105 that the current mode is not the transmission mode (the reception mode) (step S105; No), the attitude change amount Θx, Θy of the own device 1a to the communication partner 1b in the transmission mode. , Θz are transmitted via the communication module unit 10 (step S125).
Next, CPU 110 determines whether or not an instruction signal confirming the reception mode is received from communication partner 1b (step S126).
If the CPU 110 determines that the instruction signal has been received in step S126 (step S126; Yes), the CPU 110 executes “first operation determination processing” (step S127) and “reception mode processing” (step S128) described later. Then, the processing after step S101 is repeated.
On the other hand, when CPU 110 determines in step S126 that the instruction signal has not been received (step S126; No), CPU 110 waits for the reception of the instruction signal for switching to the transmission mode, and sets own apparatus 1a to the transmission mode. A switching process is executed (step S129). Then, the CPU 110 executes “first operation determination processing” (step S130) and “transmission mode processing” (step S131), which will be described later, and repeats the processing after step S101.

"Process" is executed (step S515), and this process ends.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 110 determines that the translation operation amount Mz is a negative value in Step S513 (Step S513; No), the CPU 110 transmits an instruction signal for switching to the transmission mode to the communication partner 1b (Step S516). Processing for switching own device 1a to the reception mode is executed (step S517). Next, the CPU 110 executes “reception mode processing” (step S518), and ends this processing.

Next, when it is determined in step S503 that the transmission mode is not set (reception mode is set) (step S503; No), the CPU 110 transmits the operation amount of the own device 1a to the communication partner 1b (step S519).
Then, the CPU 110 determines whether or not an instruction signal for switching to the transmission mode has been received from the communication partner 1b (step S520). When it is determined that the signal has not been received (step S520; No), the “reception mode processing” "Is executed (step S521), and this process is terminated.
On the other hand, when CPU 110 determines that it has been received in step S520 (step S520; Yes), CPU 110 executes processing for switching own device 1a to the transmission mode (step S522).
Then, the CPU 110 generates a communication processing signal with the communication processing content of the operation pattern 8 (step S523), executes the “transmission mode processing” (step S524), and ends this processing.

Next, when the CPU 110 determines that the function identification code K is not 110 (111) (step S501; No), the operation amount of the own device 1a (translation operation amounts Mx, My, Mz, rotation operation amount Mr) is determined. Obtain (step S525).
Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the own device 1a is in the transmission mode (step S526). If the CPU 110 determines that the transmission mode is set in step S526 (step S526; Yes), the CPU 110 acquires the operation amount of the communication partner 1b from the communication partner 1b (step S527).

Next, the CPU 110 compares the operation amount of the own device 1a with the operation amount of the communication partner 1b (step S528), and all the operation amounts (translation operation amounts Mx, My, Mz, rotation operation amount Mr) are predetermined. It is determined whether the own device 1a or the communication partner 1b is equal to or less than the predetermined value (that is, which of the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b is in a stopped state) (step S529).
When the CPU 110 determines that it is neither the own device 1a nor the communication partner 1b in step S529 (step S529; 1. neither), the CPU 110 outputs an error sound via the audio output unit 55 (step S530). ) The fact that the operation pattern cannot be specified is displayed on the display unit 50 as an error screen (step S531). Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed or the user has performed an operation for canceling the error state via the operation unit 40 (step S532), the CPU 110 ends this process and executes the “communication state establishment process” again. .
If CPU 110 determines that it is its own device 1a in step S529 (step S529; 2. own device), it transmits an instruction signal for switching to the transmission mode to communication partner 1b (step S533). A process of switching the machine 1a to the reception mode is executed (step S534). Next, the CPU 110 executes “reception mode processing” (step S535), and ends this processing.
Further, when CPU 110 determines in step S529 that it is communication partner 1b (step S529; 3. communication partner), the process proceeds to step S539 and subsequent steps.

Next, when it is determined in step S526 that the transmission mode is not set (reception mode is set) (step S526; No), the CPU 110 transmits the operation amount of the own device 1a to the communication partner 1b (step S536).
Next, CPU 110 determines whether or not an instruction signal for switching to the reception mode is received from communication partner 1b (step S537). Then, when CPU 110 determines that it has been received in step S537 (step S537; Yes), CPU 110 executes processing for switching own device 1a to the transmission mode (step S538).
Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the rotational motion amount | Mr | of the own device 1a exceeds a predetermined rotational motion amount Dr (step S539). If it is determined that the rotational motion amount | Mr | exceeds the predetermined rotational motion amount Dr (step S539; Yes), the operation pattern A communication processing signal is generated with the communication processing content of step 9 (step S540), and the process proceeds to step S544.

Next, when the CPU 110 determines that the value is lower in step S539 (step S539; No), the CPU 110 determines which of the translational motion amounts | Mx |, | My |, | Mz | takes the maximum value (step S541). .
If the CPU 110 determines in step S541 that the translational motion amount is | Mx | (step S541; 1. | Mx |), the CPU 110 generates a communication processing signal with the communication processing content of the operation pattern 10 (step S542). Then, the process proceeds to step S544. On the other hand, if the CPU 110 determines in step S541 that the translational motion amount is | My | (step S541; 2. | My |), the CPU 110 generates a communication processing signal with the communication processing content of the operation pattern 11 (step S543). Then, the “transmission mode process” is executed (step S544), and this process ends.
Further, when the CPU 110 determines in step S541 that the translational movement amount is | Mz | (step S541; 3. | Mz |), the CPU 110 outputs an error sound via the audio output unit 55 (step S545). The fact that the pattern cannot be specified is displayed on the display unit 50 as an error screen (step S546). Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed or the user has performed an operation for canceling the error state via the operation unit 40 (step S547), the CPU 110 ends this process and executes the “communication state establishment process” again. .

  On the other hand, when CPU 110 determines that it has not been received in step S537 (step S537; No), it executes “reception mode processing” (step S548) and ends this processing.

As described above, according to the terminal device 1 in the present embodiment, the CPU 110 specifies the operation pattern from the operation pattern table 132 based on the operation of the terminal device 1 detected by the sensor unit 30 when the communication partner search is successful. And since it can be made to communicate with the communicating party 1b by the communication processing content according to the said specified operation pattern, the user does not need to set the communication content which should be implemented via an operation panel etc. in advance.
Therefore, the program executed by the terminal device 1 and the control unit 100 can be said to be a terminal device and a program that are highly convenient for the user.

  In the terminal device 1, when searching for the communication partner 1b, the CPU 110 temporarily sets the own device 1a to the transmission mode and the pattern to temporarily set the reception mode when communicating with the communication partner 1b. Can be sequentially switched at random time intervals. That is, the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b cannot search for the communication partner 1b by repeatedly switching between the pattern set in the transmission mode and the pattern set in the reception mode at the same timing (the communication state is changed). It is possible to avoid a situation where the communication partner 1b cannot be established, and to reliably search for the communication partner 1b.

  In the terminal device 1, when the search for the communication partner 1 b is successful, the CPU 110 sets the own device 1 a to the transmission mode or the operation mode 8 based on the operation of the terminal device 1 detected by the sensor unit 30, as in the operation pattern 8. Can be set to receive mode. That is, according to the terminal device 1, the mode can be set together with the execution of the communication process, so that it is possible to save the user from having to complete the mode setting before executing the communication process. Convenience is improved.

  Further, in the terminal device 1, when the search for the communication partner 1 b is successful, the CPU 110 transmits its own device 1 a based on the attitude of the terminal device 1 detected by the sensor unit 30 as in operation patterns 1 to 6. Since the user can set the mode or the reception mode, the user does not need time and effort to set the mode, and the convenience of the terminal device 1 is further improved.

  Further, in the terminal device 1, when the communication partner 1b is successfully searched and the own device 1a is set to the transmission mode, the CPU 110 acquires the operation amount from the communication partner 1b, and the communication partner 1b is determined based on the acquired operation amount. When it is determined that the vehicle is stopped, the operation patterns 4 to 6 and the operation patterns 9 to 11 are specified. That is, as in operation patterns 2, 3, 7, and 8, only the terminal device 1 in the transmission mode operates as compared to the case where communication processing is executed only when both the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b are operated. By doing so, the communication process can be executed, so that the convenience of the user's operation on the terminal device 1 is improved.

  Further, in the terminal device 1, when the search for the communication partner 1b is successful and the own device 1a is set to the transmission mode, the CPU 110 acquires the operation amount from the communication partner 1b, and the operation amount of the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b. The operation patterns 2, 3, 7, and 8 are specified based on both the operation amounts. In other words, since the communication process is executed only when both the own device 1a and the communication partner 1b are operated, it is possible to reliably determine the content of the communication process related to the communication process executed by the CPU 110. It becomes.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal device 1 is configured to acquire the posture change amount and the motion amount using both the acceleration sensor 31 and the angular velocity detection sensor 32. For example, the communication of the motion patterns 3, 6, and 11 is performed. In the case where a translational movement amount is not required as in the case of executing the process, a configuration including only the angular velocity detection sensor 32 may be employed.
Further, for example, in the present embodiment, the own device and the communication partner are two terminal devices 1 provided separately, but the own device has the same function as the terminal device 1 and the communication partner has the same function as the terminal device 1. Of course, other devices (for example, a personal computer) provided may be used. Further, when it is not necessary to grasp the operation of the communication partner as in the case where the communication processes of the operation patterns 4 to 6 and 9 to 11 are executed, the communication partner may be an NFC card or the like.
