By selecting, it is possible to correctly measure the time determined for the action.
The details of the configuration and operation of the communication terminal 1 will be described below.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the communication terminal 1 according to the first embodiment. The communication terminal 1 includes a display unit 11, an input unit 12, a communication interface unit (communication IF unit) 13, a storage unit 14, and a control unit 15.
The display unit 11 is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display. The display unit 11 displays characters, graphics, and the like under the control of the control unit 15.
The input unit 12 includes, for example, a button, a touch panel arranged so as to be superimposed on the display unit 11, and receives an operation input from the user of the communication terminal 1.

  The communication IF unit 13 modulates the signal output from the control unit 15 to generate an RF (Radio Frequency) signal, and the RF signal is transmitted to the base station (not shown) or wireless LAN via an antenna (not shown). Wirelessly to an access point (not shown). The communication IF unit 13 demodulates the RF signal received from the base station or the access point via the antenna, and outputs a signal obtained by the demodulation to the control unit 15. In the following description, it is assumed that the communication terminal 1 communicates with an external device via the communication IF unit 13.

  The storage unit 14 is configured by, for example, a ROM and a RAM. The storage unit 14 stores various programs for causing the communication terminal 1 to function. For example, the storage unit 14 stores a time measurement program for causing the control unit 15 of the communication terminal 1 to function as a reception unit 151, a measurement unit 152, a storage control unit 153, and a notification unit 154 described later.

  Moreover, the memory | storage part 14 links | relates the classification of the action used as the object which measures time, and the regulation time defined with respect to the said action, and memorize | stores it as regulation time information. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the specified time information. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the prescribed time “30 minutes” is associated with “game”, and the prescribed time “1 hour” is associated with “study” and “television”.

  The storage unit 14 stores the schedule type of the user of the communication terminal 1 and the scheduled start time and scheduled end time of the schedule in association with each other as schedule information. Note that the storage unit 14 may read and store a program stored in a storage medium such as an external memory, or may store a program downloaded from an external device via a communication network.

  The control part 15 is comprised by CPU, for example. The control unit 15 controls functions related to the communication terminal 1 by executing various programs stored in the storage unit 14. The control unit 15 includes a reception unit 151, a measurement unit 152, a storage control unit 153, and a notification unit 154.

  The accepting unit 151 accepts a schedule type, a scheduled start time and a scheduled end time of the schedule from the user of the communication terminal 1. The receiving unit 151 stores the received schedule type, the scheduled start time, and the scheduled end time in the storage unit 14 as schedule information in association with each other.

  The accepting unit 151 accepts the type of action the user is trying to measure time and accepts an instruction to start measuring time. Specifically, when the timer mode is selected on the screen for calling the clock function shown in FIG. 2D, the reception unit 151 refers to the specified time information stored in the storage unit 14, and Identify the prescribed time associated with each type of action. And the reception part 151 displays the measurement screen which receives selection of the kind of action and measurement of time on the display part 11, as shown to Fig.3 (a).

  In FIG. 3A, it can be confirmed that “game” is displayed as the type of action on the display unit 11 and the specified time “30 minutes” associated with “game” is displayed. Also, the inverted triangle mark displayed on the right side of “Game” shown in FIG. 3A is a button for accepting selection of the type of action. When this button is touched, the reception unit 151 displays the type of action included in the specified time information stored in the storage unit 14 on the measurement screen, and receives selection of the type of action. Then, when the type of one action is selected, the reception unit 151 displays the type of the selected action and the specified time associated with the type on the measurement screen illustrated in FIG.

In FIG. 3A, a character string “start” is attached, and a measurement start button for accepting time measurement is displayed. When the measurement start button is touched, the reception unit 151 receives a time measurement start instruction corresponding to the selected action type, and causes the measurement unit 152 to start measuring time.
When the receiving unit 151 receives an instruction to start measuring time, the measuring unit 152 starts measuring time.

  When the reception unit 151 causes the measurement unit 152 to start measurement, for example, the time measured by the measurement unit 152 is subtracted from the specified time, and the remaining time corresponding to the selected action type is shown in FIG. Display on the measurement screen as shown. In addition, when the measurement unit 152 starts measurement, the reception unit 151 includes a character string “stop” as illustrated in FIG. 3B, and a measurement interruption button for receiving a time measurement interruption instruction on the measurement screen. Display. When the measurement interruption button is touched, the reception unit 151 receives a time measurement interruption instruction corresponding to the selected action type, and causes the measurement unit 152 to interrupt the time measurement. The receiving unit 151 may receive a time measurement end instruction by receiving a time measurement program end instruction. And the reception part 151 may make the measurement part 152 complete | finish time measurement, if the completion | finish instruction | indication of time measurement is received.

When the reception unit 151 receives a time measurement interruption instruction, the measurement unit 152 interrupts the time measurement.
When the receiving unit 151 receives an interruption instruction, the storage control unit 153 stores the elapsed time indicating the time measured by the measuring unit 152 in the storage unit 14 in association with the type of action received by the receiving unit 151.

  Here, the storage control unit 153 periodically erases the elapsed time stored in the storage unit 14 in association with the type of action once a day at a specified time (for example, when a date is changed). By doing in this way, the communication terminal 1 can reset the elapsed time which the measurement part 152 measured to the designated time. Note that the storage control unit 153 erases the elapsed time according to the date change, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the accepting unit 151 accepts the interruption instruction, the storage control unit 153 stores the elapsed time in the storage unit 14 in association with the type of action and the time at which the action was interrupted, and an action that has passed a predetermined time from the time at which the interruption occurred. You may make it erase | eliminate the elapsed time relevant to the kind of.

  When the measurement interruption button is touched, the reception unit 151 is attached with a character string “resume” as shown in FIG. 3C and displays a measurement restart button for receiving a time measurement restart instruction on the measurement screen. . The reception unit 151 receives an instruction to end time measurement, and after the execution of the time measurement program ends, the time measurement program is re-executed, and the type of action when the instruction to end time measurement is received is selected. In such a case, a screen for accepting a time measurement resumption instruction shown in FIG. 3C may be displayed. When the accepting unit 151 accepts a resumption instruction after accepting an interruption instruction or an end instruction, the measuring unit 152 calculates the time from the elapsed time stored in the storage unit 14 in association with the type of action for which the time measurement is interrupted. Restart the time measurement. When receiving the restart instruction, the reception unit 151 switches the display of the measurement screen to the display illustrated in FIG.

  The notification unit 154 notifies information indicating the relationship between the time measured by the measurement unit 152 and the specified time associated with the type of action received by the reception unit 151. Specifically, the notification unit 154 notifies that the specified time has elapsed when the time measured by the measuring unit 152 has passed the specified time associated with the type of action received by the receiving unit 151. For example, the notification unit 154 notifies the user of the communication terminal 1 that the specified time has passed by switching the measurement screen to the display shown in FIG. Notice. Note that the notification unit 154 indicates that the specified time is approaching before the time measured by the measuring unit 152 has passed the specified time associated with the type of action received by the receiving unit 151. The user may be notified. For example, when the time measured by the measurement unit 152 indicates the first time before the specified time (for example, 5 minutes before), the notification unit 154 is the first time remaining until the specified time. If the measured time indicates a second time before the specified time (for example, one minute before), the user is notified that the remaining time up to the specified time is the second time. To do. Here, the notification unit 154 may change the notification mode so that the user can distinguish between the first time until the specified time and the second time. Further, the notification unit 154 may notify that a specified time has passed or that the specified time has approached by causing a speaker (not shown) provided in the communication terminal 1 to output a notification sound.

  In addition, the notification unit 154 is a scheduled start schedule stored in the storage unit 14 before the time measured by the measurement unit 152 passes the specified time associated with the type of action received by the reception unit 151. When the time comes, measurement by the measurement unit 152 is stopped and the type of the schedule is notified. For example, the notification unit 154 notifies the user of the type of the schedule by causing the display unit 11 to display a notification screen that notifies the type of the schedule for which the scheduled start time has arrived. By doing in this way, even if the communication terminal 1 is measuring the time of the action which the user selected, it can notify the said user of the schedule of the schedule registered beforehand.

[flowchart]
Next, the flow of processing in the communication terminal 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing relating to time measurement in the communication terminal 1 according to the first embodiment.
First, the accepting unit 151 accepts selection of an action type on the measurement screen shown in FIG. 3A (S10).

  Subsequently, the reception unit 151 determines whether or not an instruction to start measuring time has been received by touching a measurement start button provided on the measurement screen illustrated in FIG. 3A (S20). If the reception unit 151 determines that the start instruction has been received, the process proceeds to S30. If the reception unit 151 determines that the start instruction is not received, the process proceeds to S10.

  In S30, the reception unit 151 starts time measurement of the type of action selected in S10. When the time measurement is started, the reception unit 151 displays a measurement interruption button on the measurement screen as illustrated in FIG.

Subsequently, the reception unit 151 determines whether or not an instruction to interrupt time measurement has been received by touching the measurement interrupt button (S40). If the reception unit 151 determines that an interruption instruction has been received, the process proceeds to S50. If the reception unit 151 determines that an interruption instruction is not received, the process proceeds to S90.
In S50, the reception unit 151 causes the measurement unit 152 to stop measuring time. When the time measurement is interrupted, the reception unit 151 displays a measurement restart button on the measurement screen as illustrated in FIG.
Subsequently, the storage control unit 153 stores the elapsed time measured by the measurement unit 152 in the storage unit 14 in association with the type of action selected in S10 (S60).

Subsequently, the reception unit 151 determines whether or not an instruction to restart time measurement has been received by touching the measurement restart button (S70). If the accepting unit 151 determines that the resumption instruction has been accepted, the process proceeds to S80, and if it is determined that the resumption instruction has not been accepted, S70 is re-executed.
In step S80, the reception unit 151 causes the measurement unit 152 to restart time measurement. Here, the reception unit 151 causes the measurement unit 152 to restart time measurement from the elapsed time stored in S60. When the time measurement is restarted, the reception unit 151 displays a measurement interruption button on the measurement screen as illustrated in FIG.

  Subsequently, the notification unit 154 refers to the schedule information stored in the storage unit 14 and determines whether or not there is a plan for which the scheduled start time has arrived (S90). If the notification unit 154 determines that there is a plan that the scheduled start time has arrived, the notification unit 154 moves the process to S100, interrupts the measurement unit 152 to measure the time, and then notifies the type of the schedule at which the scheduled start time has arrived ( S110). In addition, when the notification unit 154 determines that there is no scheduled type for which the scheduled start time has arrived, the process proceeds to S120.

  In S120, the notification unit 154 determines whether the time measured by the measurement unit 152 has passed the specified time associated with the type of action selected in S10. If the notification unit 154 determines that the specified time has elapsed, the notification unit 154 proceeds to S130 to notify that the specified time has elapsed. If the notification unit 154 determines that the specified time has not elapsed, the notification unit 154 proceeds to S40.

[Effect in the first embodiment]
As described above, the communication terminal 1 according to the first embodiment receives the type of action, receives a time measurement start instruction, starts time measurement when the start instruction is received, and the time measured by the measurement unit 152 However, when the prescribed time associated with the type of action accepted by the accepting unit 151 has elapsed, the fact that the prescribed time has elapsed is notified. By doing in this way, the user can measure correctly the time defined with respect to the said action by selecting the kind of action which measures time.

<Second Embodiment>
[Calculate carryover time]
Next, the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, when the communication terminal 1 erases the elapsed time stored in the storage unit 14, if the elapsed time is shorter than the specified time, the difference between the specified time and the elapsed time is carried forward. This is different from the first embodiment in that the time is added and added to the specified time when the time is newly measured. Details of the communication terminal 1 according to the second embodiment will be described below. Note that description of functions similar to those of the first embodiment is omitted.

  In the second embodiment, the storage control unit 153 determines that the elapsed time stored in the storage unit 14 in association with the type of action at a predetermined time is greater than the specified time associated with the type of action. When the time is short, the time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time from the specified time is stored in the storage unit 14 as the carry-over time related to the type of the action. Specifically, the storage control unit 153 stores the calculated carry-over time in association with the type of action and the specified time as the specified time information.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the specified time information according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, it can be confirmed that the specified time information according to the second embodiment is associated with the carry-over time in association with the type of action and the specified time.

  Note that the storage control unit 153 may store the carry-over time and the carry-forward date in association with the specified time information, with the date when the carry-over time has occurred as the carry-forward date. The storage control unit 153 may invalidate the carry-over time associated with the carry-forward date when the carry-forward date is a predetermined time or more before the current date.

Further, the communication terminal 1 may be configured to set an upper limit of the carry-over time for one type of action. Then, when storing the carry-over time in association with the specified time information, the storage control unit 153 invalidates the carry-over time that exceeds the upper limit if the carry-over time exceeds the upper limit set. You may do it.
Further, the communication terminal 1 may be configured to set whether to calculate a carry-over time for each of a plurality of action types.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the reception unit 151 displays the type of action on the measurement screen when the display unit 11 displays a measurement screen that receives selection of the type of action and measurement of time. The total time of the specified time and the carry-over time is displayed as the time determined for the action. Here, the reception unit 151 may display the total time on the measurement screen and the carry-over time. By doing in this way, the user of the communication terminal 1 can check how long the carry-over time is.

  When the time measured by the measuring unit 152 exceeds the total time of the specified time and the carry-over time associated with the type of the action accepted by the accepting unit 151, the notifying unit 154 determines the time determined for the act. Information indicating that has passed has been notified.

[Effects of Second Embodiment]
As described above, the communication terminal 1 according to the second embodiment is configured such that the elapsed time stored in the storage unit 14 in association with the type of action at a predetermined time is the specified time associated with the type of action. Is shorter than the specified time, the time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time is stored in the storage unit 14 as a carry-over time related to the type of the action. When the time measured by the measurement unit 152 exceeds the total time of the specified time and the carry-over time associated with the type of action accepted by the accepting unit 151, the communication terminal 1 is determined for the act. Information indicating that the specified time has passed.

  By doing in this way, the communication terminal 1 can motivate a user not to play a game according to a specified time on a busy study day, for example, but to play a game on a day when there is room for study. Moreover, the communication terminal 1 can motivate a user to carry over the action intensively by, for example, carrying over the time for an action such as a game or television. Thereby, the communication terminal 1 can make it learn to plan and act with respect to a user.

<Third Embodiment>
[Adjusting the specified time for the second action based on the measurement time for the first action]
Subsequently, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the communication terminal 1 adjusts the prescribed time of the second action (eg, game) based on the measurement time of the first action (eg, study).

In the third embodiment, the storage control unit 153 associates the type of action with the time measured by the measurement unit 152 for the action and causes the storage unit 14 to store the result as measurement result information.
Then, the storage control unit 153 adjusts the prescribed time of the second action stored in the prescribed time information of the storage unit 14 based on the measurement time of the first action included in the measurement result information.

  For example, the storage control unit 153 stores the game stored in the specified time information in the storage unit 14 when the measurement time of the study (first action) included in the measurement result information is longer than the specified time by a predetermined time or more. Increase the prescribed time for (second action). In addition, the storage control unit 153 decreases the specified time of the game stored in the specified time information of the storage unit 14 when the study measurement time included in the measurement result information is shorter than the specified time.

  Note that the conditions for adjusting the prescribed time for the second action are not limited to those described above. For example, the storage control unit 153 sets the predetermined time information when the total measurement time of the first action in a predetermined period (one month) is more than a predetermined time compared to the total of the predetermined time of the first action in the period. You may increase the regulation time of the 2nd action memorize | stored in.

  In addition, the storage control unit 153 obtains the total of the measurement times of the plurality of actions included in the measurement result information and the total of the prescribed times for each unit period (for example, one day, one week, one month, etc.). A graph may be displayed on the display unit 11. For example, when a plurality of acts are study subjects, the storage control unit 153 causes the display unit 11 to display a graph that compares and displays the total study time for each subject and the total prescribed time. By doing in this way, the user of the communication terminal 1 can confirm whether he / she is studying according to a predetermined time. Note that the storage control unit 153 displays a warning message indicating that the study time is insufficient, for example, when the total measurement time is lower than the predetermined time by a predetermined percentage or more. Also good. In addition, the storage control unit 153 does not have enough study time on a screen different from the screen related to the timer mode when the study time of the day does not reach the specified time even after a predetermined time (for example, after 18:00). You may be notified. For example, the storage control unit 153 may notify that the study time is insufficient by changing the background color of the clock screen shown in FIG. In this way, the user of the communication terminal 1 can be made aware that the study time is insufficient.

[Effect in the third embodiment]
As described above, the communication terminal 1 according to the third embodiment is based on the measurement time of the first action included in the measurement result information, and the specified time of the second action stored in the specified time information of the storage unit 14. Adjust. By doing in this way, for example, when the user of the communication terminal 1 works hard, the game time can be increased as a reward, and the user's willingness to study can be improved.

<Fourth Embodiment>
[Cooperate with other terminal 2 capable of communicating with communication terminal 1]
Subsequently, a fourth embodiment will be described. The communication terminal 1 is assumed to be used by, for example, a child. In this case, it is preferable that the parent can limit the behavior of the child or grasp the behavior of the child. Therefore, the fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the communication terminal 1 cooperates with another terminal 2 that can communicate with the communication terminal 1.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a communication system S according to the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the communication terminal 1 and the terminal 2 constitute a communication system S.
