Description

  The present invention relates to a data transmission system, a data transmission terminal, a data transmission method, and a program that provide an intuitive interface in data transmission.

  Conventionally, when data is transmitted and received between terminals such as mobile phones at a short distance, the user has to select and activate a communication method. For example, when using infrared communication, data is selected and the infrared communication function of the terminal is activated. Then, data is transmitted and received by facing the terminal of the terminal and the terminal of the other party (see Non-Patent Document 1). Note that the infrared communication function of the terminal can also be activated before data selection. Also, when using Bluetooth (registered trademark), data is selected and the Bluetooth function of the terminal is activated. Then, a Bluetooth-compatible terminal in the communication range is detected, and data transmission / reception is performed by designating a terminal to be transmitted from the detected terminals (see Non-Patent Document 2). Note that the Bluetooth function of the terminal can be activated before data selection.

Therefore, the description of the present embodiment does not limit the contents of the invention described in the claims.

<First Embodiment>
The data transmission terminal 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG.

  The data transmission terminal 10 according to the present embodiment is a terminal having a function of transmitting data to other terminals by short-range wireless communication, and is, for example, a mobile phone or a smartphone. As shown in FIG. 1, the data transmission terminal 10 includes an input reception unit 11, a transmission destination candidate detection unit 12, a transmission destination identification unit 13, a positional relationship diagram generation unit 14, and a transmission unit 15. A terminal to which the data transmission terminal 10 transmits data is a transmission destination terminal 20.

  The input receiving unit 11 receives selection of data to be transmitted and a transmission instruction for the selected data from the user via the input unit 16 such as a touch panel. For example, when a thumbnail or data name of data such as image, video, music, text, etc. displayed on the touch panel is long pressed, or when data is displayed or played, it is displayed on the touch panel By pressing the transmission instruction button, the input receiving unit 11 receives selection of data to be transmitted and a transmission instruction for the selected data.

  The input receiving unit 11 receives terminal information of the data transmission destination terminal 20 from the user via the input unit 16. Here, the terminal information is information that uniquely identifies the terminal, and includes a telephone number, a mail address, a terminal owner name, a device name, and the like. By registering terminal information in the telephone book stored in the data transmission terminal 10 and selecting the transmission destination terminal 20 from the telephone book, the terminal information of the data transmission destination terminal 20 is passed to the input reception unit 11. Can do. Note that either the selection of data, the transmission instruction of the selected data, or the input of the terminal information of the transmission destination terminal 20 may be first.

  The transmission destination candidate detection unit 12 searches for transmission destination candidate terminals that exist within a predetermined range and can communicate with the data transmission terminal 10. For example, a destination candidate terminal capable of communication using Bluetooth is searched by a pairing function of Bluetooth (registered trademark). In this case, the range within the predetermined range, that is, the searchable range is determined according to the class of radio wave intensity set in the use of Bluetooth. That is, the search range for the destination candidate terminal is within 100 m for Class 1, within 10 m for Class 2, and within 1 m for Class 3. In addition, you may search a transmission destination candidate terminal using near field communication, such as an infrared sensor, WiFi (trademark), and an ultrasonic wave.

  The predetermined range may be a circle centered on the data transmission terminal 10 and having a radius that is a communicable distance unique to the communication method, or the position of the data transmission terminal 10 is detected by an acceleration sensor, a magnetic sensor, or the like.

Here, the positional relationship information includes the direction and distance in which the transmission destination candidate terminal exists centering on the data transmission terminal 10.

  Based on the terminal information of the transmission terminal received by the input reception unit 11 and the terminal information of the transmission destination candidate terminal acquired by the transmission destination candidate detection unit 12, the transmission destination specifying unit 13 uses the transmission destination candidate detection unit 12. The destination terminal 20 is identified from the searched destination candidate terminals.

  When the input receiving unit 11 does not receive the terminal information of the transmission destination terminal 20, the positional relationship diagram generation unit 14 performs the data transmission terminal 10 and the search based on the positional relationship information acquired by the transmission destination candidate detection unit 12. A positional relationship diagram of the destination candidate terminals thus generated is generated. The generated positional relationship diagram is displayed on the display unit 17 such as a display of the data transmission terminal 10, and the user determines the transmission destination terminal 20 by selecting the transmission destination terminal 20 to which data is to be transmitted in the positional relationship diagram. be able to.

  The transmission unit 15 transmits data to the transmission destination terminal 20 by the available communication method detected by the transmission destination candidate detection unit 12 for the transmission destination terminal 20 specified by the transmission destination specification unit 13. When a plurality of communication methods are detected, the communication method detected by the user may be presented to determine the communication method by which the user transmits data, or a preset priority order or transmission may be performed. It may be determined by data attribute information, for example, the size or type of data. Further, when the positional relationship information is acquired by the transmission destination candidate detection unit 12, a communication method for transmitting data may be determined based on the distance between the data transmission terminal 10 and the transmission destination terminal 20.

  When the transmission destination terminal 20 is selected from the positional relationship diagram displayed on the display unit 17, the transmission unit 15 uses the communication method acquired by the transmission destination candidate detection unit 12 for the selected transmission destination terminal 20. The data is transmitted to the destination terminal 20. Note that the method of determining the communication method when a plurality of communication methods is detected is the same as the case of transmitting data to the transmission destination terminal 20 specified by the transmission destination specifying unit 13.

<Processing flow of information transmission system>

  Further, the “computer system” includes a homepage providing environment (or display environment) if a WWW (World Wide Web) system is used. The program may be transmitted from a computer system storing the program in a storage device or the like to another computer system via a transmission medium or by a transmission wave in the transmission medium. Here, the “transmission medium” for transmitting the program refers to a medium having a function of transmitting information, such as a network (communication network) such as the Internet or a communication line (communication line) such as a telephone line.

  The program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above. Furthermore, what can implement | achieve the function mentioned above in combination with the program already recorded on the computer system, what is called a difference file (difference program) may be sufficient.
