  Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol was attached | subjected to the corresponding element in several drawing.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a call origination process by an exemplary communication apparatus 1. FIG. 1 shows a communication device 1 having a call function such as a smartphone. The communication device 1 includes, for example, a storage device, and contact management information such as a telephone book, an address book, and an address book is stored in the storage device. In the example of FIG. 1, a list of contact information 4 registered in the contact management information is displayed on the display screen 2 of the communication device 1. For example, a call is made from the displayed contact information 4. By selecting the contact information 4 of a desired person, the user 3 can make a call to that person.

  However, when selecting specific contact information 401 from the contact information list, the contact information 401 different from the contact information 401 that the user wants to call may be selected by mistake. In particular, it is not uncommon that a large amount of contact information 401 is registered in the contact management information. When the contact information 401 is selected from the large amount of contact information 401 via the touch panel, Misoperation is likely to occur. For example, in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the user 3 wants to call “Mr. E”. However, actually, “Mr. D” displayed in the upper part of “Mr. E” in the list is erroneously selected. Even in such a case, since the communication device 1 makes a call to the selected “Mr. D”, there is a situation in which a call is made by mistake to a partner who does not have a task.

  And if a call is made to the wrong party, the person receiving the call will receive an unwanted call, and the caller will also make a call to an undesired party. . For example, when a call is made to the wrong partner, there is a case where the incoming call from the communication device of the other party is left even if the call with the other party is not connected. As a result, an unnecessary response such as a confirmation call from the other party may occur. Therefore, it is not preferable to make a call to the wrong party. Therefore, it is desirable to suppress erroneous transmission caused by erroneous selection when a call is made by selecting a partner from the contact information list.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a call origination process by the communication apparatus 100 according to the embodiment. FIG. 2 shows a communication device 100 having a call function such as a smartphone. The communication device 100 includes, for example, a storage device, and contact management information such as a telephone book, an address book, and an address book is stored in the storage device. FIG. 2A shows a state in which a list of contact information 401 registered in the contact management information is displayed on the display screen 200 of the communication apparatus 1. The user 3 selects contact information 401 of the person who wants to make a call from the displayed contact information 401. Here, it is assumed that the user 3 wants to call “Mr. E”. However, actually, “Mr. D” displayed in the upper part of “Mr. E” in the list is erroneously selected. In this case, in the call origination process according to the embodiment, the communication apparatus 100 displays the contact information 401 of “Mr. D” selected in the displayed list of contact information 401 and the selected contact information 401. A predetermined number of contact information 401 existing before and after is extracted. For example, in the example of FIG. 2B, two pieces of contact information 401 displayed before and after are extracted. Then, it is determined whether or not the extracted contact information 401 exists in the history information 500 in which telephone communication records are registered. When the extracted contact information 401 exists in the history information 500, a reselection screen for the communication partner is generated from the contact information 401 existing in the history information 500 (FIG. 2C), and the contact information from the user. 401 reselection is accepted. The user 3 can make a call to the communication partner by selecting the contact information 401 of the communication partner to be called from the reselection screen. In this case, the contact information 401 displayed on the reselection screen does not include the contact information 401 that did not exist in the history information 500. That is, the contact information 401 of the other party who has no history of making a call is not displayed on the reselection screen. In recent years, various communication methods have been developed, and it is possible to communicate with others by various methods such as e-mail and social networking services, not limited to telephone. In such a situation, the person who makes a call is limited to a specific person, and there is a tendency that such a person can make a call repeatedly. On the other hand, it is not uncommon to never call another particular person. Therefore, by removing the contact information 401 of the other party who has not made a call and displaying the reselection screen and allowing the user 3 to reselect the caller, erroneous selection at the time of outgoing call can be suppressed. .

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a functional block configuration of the communication apparatus 100 according to the embodiment. The communication device 100 includes a control unit 300 and a storage unit 310, for example.

The communication record 501 includes, for example, information of the communication date and time 502 and the telephone number 503, and these information are associated with each other by the communication record 501. In the communication date and time 502, for example, the date and time when communication is performed in the communication device 100 is registered. In the telephone number 503, the telephone number of the communication partner is registered. The history information 500 may be, for example, a transmission history that is a communication history of a call made by a user of the communication device 100 or an incoming call history that is a communication history of a phone call made to the communication device 100. Alternatively, the history information 500 may be, for example, a communication history including both outgoing and incoming histories. The telephone number 503 is, for example, the telephone number of the other party who made a call from the communication device 100 when the communication record 501 is a communication record of outgoing calls, and the telephone number when the communication record 501 is an incoming communication record. Reference numeral 503 denotes the telephone number of the other party who called the communication device 100. In the history information 500, the communication record 501 as described above may be registered in order from, for example, a new communication record of the communication date and time 502.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of a call origination process by the communication device 100 according to the first embodiment. The operation flow of FIG. 6 is implemented by, for example, reading and executing the program 320 stored in the storage unit 310 by the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100. In one embodiment, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 displays a list of contact information 401 registered in the contact management information 400 on the display screen 200 in a predetermined order according to a predetermined instruction input. . Then, for example, when the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 starts accepting selection of any contact information 401 from the list of contact information 401 displayed on the display screen 200, the transmission of FIG. Start processing. Note that the list of contact information 401 displayed on the display screen 200 of the communication apparatus 100 is information registered in the contact information 401, such as the screen shown on the display screen 200 in FIG. Among them, a form of displaying a list of some information such as the name 402 may be used.

  In step S <b> 601, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 determines whether the contact information 401 has been selected in the displayed list of contact information 401. If the contact information 401 has not been selected (NO in step S601), the flow repeats step S601. On the other hand, when the contact information 401 is selected (YES in step S601), the flow proceeds to step S602. In step S602, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 extracts information from a predetermined number of contact information around the selected contact information in the displayed list of contact information 401, and extracts call target candidates. Generate information. In the first embodiment, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 has a predetermined number of contacts including the selected contact information 401 and the contact information displayed before and after the selected contact information 401. The destination information 401 is extracted, and call target candidate extraction information 700 is generated.

  FIG. 7 is an example of call target candidate extraction information 700 generated in step S602. The example of FIG. 7 uses 5 as the predetermined number to be extracted, and is generated when the contact information 401 of “Mr. D” is selected from the displayed list of contact information 401. The call target candidate extraction information 700 is illustrated. In this case, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 extracts the selected contact information 401 of “Mr. D” from the contact management information 400. Further, contact information 401 of “Mr. C” and “Mr. B” displayed before the selected “Mr. D” is extracted from the list of contact information 401 displayed in a predetermined order. Furthermore, two pieces of contact information 401 “Mr. E” and “Mr. F” displayed after the selected “Mr. D” are extracted. And the control part 300 of the communication apparatus 100 produces | generates the telephone call candidate extraction information 700 from the five said contact information 401 extracted above.

  Subsequently, in step S603, the control unit 300 of the communication device 100 executes a history confirmation process. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of the history check process according to the first embodiment executed in step S603. The history check process in FIG. 8 starts when the process proceeds to step S603 in FIG. 6, for example.

  The processes from step S801 to step S804 are repetitive processes executed for each of the contact information 401 registered in the call target candidate extraction information 700. In step S801, every time the control unit 300 repeats, the control unit 300 selects the contact information 401 from the call target candidate extraction information 700 one by one, and until the selection of all the contact information 401 is completed, the control unit 300 performs steps from step S801 to step S804. Repeat the process. In step S <b> 802, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 determines whether the telephone number 403 of the selected contact information 401 is registered in the telephone number 503 of the history information 500. If the telephone number 403 of the selected contact information 401 is not registered in the telephone number 503 of the history information 500 (step S802 is NO), the flow proceeds to step S804. On the other hand, when the telephone number 403 of the selected contact information 401 is registered in the telephone number 503 of the history information 500 (YES in step S802), the flow proceeds to step S803. In step S <b> 803, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 registers the selected contact information 401 in the reselection candidate information 900. In step S804, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 determines whether or not all the contact information 401 registered in the call target candidate extraction information 700 has been selected. The flow returns to step S801. On the other hand, if all the contact information 401 registered in the call target candidate extraction information 700 has been selected in step S804, the operation flow ends, and the flow proceeds to step S604 in FIG. .

  The reselection candidate information 900 is generated by the history confirmation process described above. FIG. 9 shows an example of reselection candidate information 900 generated in the operation flow of FIG. 8 when the history information 500 of FIG. 5 and the call target candidate extraction information 700 of FIG. 7 are used. For example, when the history information 500 of FIG. 5 and the call target candidate extraction information 700 of FIG. 7 are used, among the contact information 401 included in the call target candidate extraction information 700, “Mr. B” contact information 401 “ “Telephone number 2” is not included in the history information 500. Therefore, the reselection candidate information 900 in FIG. 9 does not include the contact information 401 of “Mr. B”. On the other hand, “phone number 3” of the contact information 401 of “Mr. C” included in the call target candidate extraction information 700 is included in the history information 500. Similarly, “phone number 4”, “phone number 5”, and “phone number” are the phone numbers 403 of “Mr. D”, “Mr. E”, and “Mr. F” included in the call target candidate extraction information 700. 6 ”is included in the history information 500. For this reason, the control unit 300 of the communication device 100 re-registers the contact information 401 of “Mr. B”, “Mr. D”, “Mr. E”, and “Mr. F” by the history confirmation process of FIG. Selection candidate information 900 is generated. In other words, in the history confirmation process, the reselection candidate information obtained by extracting the contact information 401 including the telephone number that the user has called from among the telephone numbers 403 included in the call target candidate extraction information 700. 900 is generated. On the other hand, contact information 401 that has not been called in the call target candidate extraction information 700 is not included in the reselection candidate information 900.

  Subsequently, in step S604 of FIG. 6, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 executes a reselection process. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of the reselection process executed in step S604. The reselection process starts, for example, when the process proceeds to step S604 in FIG.

  In step S <b> 1001, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 creates and displays a reselection screen based on the reselection candidate information 900 and accepts reselection of the contact information 401. The reselection screen is a list of names 402 of contact information 401 registered in the reselection candidate information 900, for example, as the screen displayed on the display screen 200 of FIG. Good. In addition, it may be configured to display a sentence such as “Isn't it an erroneous touch? The name near the touch is displayed” that alerts the user to the possibility of erroneous transmission.

  In step S <b> 1002, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 determines whether the contact information 401 is selected from the list of contact information 401 registered in the reselection candidate information 900 displayed on the display screen 200. If the contact information 401 has not been selected (step S1002 is NO), the flow proceeds to step S1004. On the other hand, when the contact information 401 is selected (YES in step S1002), the flow proceeds to step S1003. In step S1003, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 makes a call to the telephone number 403 included in the selected contact information 401 and places a call. For this reason, even if the user 3 makes a mistake when selecting the other party who wants to make a call from the list of the contact information 401 registered in the contact management information 400, the user 3 makes an erroneous call. You can make a phone call to the target. Subsequently, in step S1004, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 determines whether or not the end of transmission is selected. If the end of transmission has not been selected (NO in step S1004), the flow returns to step S1002. On the other hand, when the end of transmission is selected (YES in step S1004), the operation flow ends and returns to the operation flow in FIG. 6, and the operation flow in FIG. 6 also ends.

  6, 8, and 10 according to the first embodiment described above, a list of contact information 401 registered in the contact management information 400 is displayed when a call is made. . When the contact information 401 is selected from the list, the selected contact information 401 and the contact information 401 displayed before and after the selected contact information 401 are extracted to generate call target candidate extraction information 700. . This is displayed in the vicinity of the contact information 401 of the other party to be called, for example, when the user tries to select the contact information 401 of the other party who wants to make a call from the contact information 401 list. In many cases, the contact information 401 is erroneously selected. Therefore, when an erroneous selection occurs, the contact information 401 of the other party who originally wanted to make a call is likely to be in the vicinity of the selected contact information 401. Therefore, the contact information 401 within a predetermined number of ranges is extracted from the selected contact information 401.

  In the operation flows of FIGS. 6, 8, and 10 according to the first embodiment, the telephone number 403 of the contact information 401 included in the generated call target candidate extraction information 700 exists in the history information 500. Confirm whether or not to do. As described above, in recent years, various communication methods such as e-mail and social networking services have been developed in addition to telephones, and users can communicate with others through various methods. It is. In such a situation, the person who makes a call is limited to a specific person, and there is a tendency that such a person can make a call repeatedly. On the other hand, it is not uncommon to never call another particular person. Therefore, by extracting the contact information 401 in which the telephone number 403 exists in the history information 500 from the contact information 401 included in the call target candidate extraction information 700, the user may be the other party who wants to make a call. It is possible to extract contact information 401 of a person with a high personality. Then, by letting the user reselect the call destination from the list of contact information 401 of the reselection candidate information 900 in which the person who is likely to be the other party that the user wants to call is extracted in this way, It is possible to suppress erroneous transmission due to erroneous selection of a telephone destination.

  6, 8, and 10, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 displays a list of contact information 401 and starts the operation flow of FIG. 6 and the process of step S <b> 601. For example, it functions as the first selection receiving unit 311. In the process of step S602, the control unit 300 of the communication device 100 functions as, for example, the extraction unit 312. Further, in step S603, step S801 to step S804, and step S1001, step S1002, and step S1004, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 functions as the second selection receiving unit 313, for example. In the process of step S1003, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 functions as the transmission unit 314, for example.

  Subsequently, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 11 to 15. Also in 2nd Embodiment, the control part 300 of the communication apparatus 100 performs the transmission process of FIG. In one embodiment, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 displays a list of contact information 401 registered in the contact management information 400 on the display screen 200 in a predetermined order according to a predetermined instruction input. . Then, for example, when the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 starts accepting selection of any contact information 401 from the list of contact information 401 displayed on the display screen 200, the transmission of FIG. Start processing. The list of contact information 401 displayed on the display screen of the communication apparatus 100 is registered in the contact management information 400, for example, as shown in the display screen 200 of FIG. A format that displays a list of some information such as the name 402 of the information may be used.

  In step S <b> 601, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 determines whether the contact information 401 has been selected in the displayed list of contact information 401. If the contact information 401 has not been selected (NO in step S601), the flow repeats step S601. On the other hand, when the contact information 401 is selected (YES in step S601), the flow proceeds to step S602. In step S602, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 extracts information from a predetermined number of contact information 401 around the selected contact information 401 in the list of contact information 401 displayed in a predetermined order. Then, call candidate extraction information 1100 is generated.

In step S1202, when the selected telephone number 403 is not registered in the telephone number 503 of the history information 500 (step S1202 is NO), the flow proceeds to step S1205. On the other hand, when the selected telephone number 403 is registered in the telephone number 503 of the history information 500 (YES in step S1202), the flow proceeds to step S1203.

  In step S1203, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 stores the communication record 501 having the communication date and time 502 closest to the current time among the communication records 501 including the selected telephone number 403 in the telephone number 503 of the history information 500. get. Then, the control unit 300 of the communication device 100 calculates an elapsed date and time 1302 representing the number of days and time that have elapsed from the communication date and time 502 of the acquired communication record 501 to the current time. In step S <b> 1204, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 registers elapsed date / time information 1301 that associates the selected telephone number 403 with the calculated elapsed date / time 1302 in the reselection candidate information 1300. If another elapsed date / time information 1301 is already registered in the reselection candidate information 1300, the elapsed date / time 1302 of the registered elapsed date / time information 1301 and the newly registered elapsed date / time information 1301 are displayed. The elapsed time 1302 is compared. Then, for example, rearrangement is performed in order such that the elapsed date and time are in descending order, and the elapsed date and time information 1301 is registered. Further details of the reselection candidate information 1300 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Subsequently, in step S1205, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 determines whether or not all telephone numbers 403 registered in the call target candidate extraction information 1100 have been selected. If the selection has not been completed (NO in step S1205), the flow returns to step S1201. On the other hand, in step S1205, when all the telephone numbers 403 registered in the call target candidate extraction information 1100 have been selected (YES in step S1205), this operation flow ends, and the flow is as shown in FIG. Proceed to step S604.

  The telephone number 403 existing in the telephone number 503 of the history information 500 among the telephone numbers 403 included in the call target candidate extraction information 1100 by the history confirmation processing according to the second embodiment of FIG. Are extracted together with the elapsed date and time. Then, the extracted telephone number 403 and the elapsed date / time are rearranged in the order of the elapsed date / time, for example, and registered as the elapsed date / time information 1301 in the reselection candidate information 1300, and the reselection candidate information 1300 is generated.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of reselection candidate information 1300 generated when the history information 500 of FIG. 5 and the call target candidate extraction information 1100 of FIG. 11 are used. For example, when the history information 500 in FIG. 5 and the call target candidate extraction information 1100 in FIG. 11 are used, “phone number 2” is included in the history information 500 among the phone numbers 403 included in the call target candidate extraction information 1100. Not. Therefore, “phone number 2” is not included in the reselection candidate information 1300 in FIG. 13. On the other hand, “telephone number 3” is included in the history information 500. Therefore, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 identifies the communication record 501 including the communication date and time 502 of the date and time closest to the current time among the communication records 501 including “phone number 3” registered in the history information 500. The communication date and time 502 is acquired. Then, the elapsed date and time elapsed from the acquired communication date and time 502 to the current time is calculated, and the calculated elapsed days and the “phone number 3” are associated with each other and registered in the reselection candidate information 1300 as the elapsed date and time information 1301. To do. Similarly, among the telephone numbers 403 included in the call target candidate extraction information 1100, “phone number 4”, “phone number 5”, and “phone number 6” are included in the history information 500. Therefore, in the history confirmation process of FIG. 12, the control unit 300 also displays the date and time of “Mr. D”, “Mr. E”, and “Mr. F” that are close to the current time in the communication record 501 including the telephone number 403. The communication record 501 of the communication date 502 is specified, and the communication date 502 is acquired. Then, the elapsed date / time information 1301 elapsed from the acquired communication date / time 502 to the current time is calculated, and the calculated elapsed date / time information 1301 and the telephone number 403 are reselected as the elapsed date / time information 1301 in the shortest order of the elapsed date / time information 1301. The candidate information 1300 is registered. For example, as described above, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 generates the reselection candidate information 1300.

  Subsequently, in step S604 of FIG. 6, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 executes a reselection process. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of the reselection process. The reselection process in FIG. 14 starts when the process proceeds to step S604 in FIG. 6, for example.

  In step S <b> 1401, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 identifies the contact number 401 including the telephone number 1303 of the elapsed date and time information 1301 and the contact information 401 included in the telephone number 403 from the contact management information 400, and the name from the identified contact information 401. 402 is acquired. In step S1402, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 displays the elapsed days of the reselection candidate information 1300 together with the acquired name 402 on the display screen 200 as a reselection screen, for example, in ascending order of elapsed days, and is selected from the user. Accept. The reselection screen displayed on the display screen 200 may be a list of the name 402 and the elapsed date and time 1302, as in the screen displayed on the display screen 200 of FIG. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the user is warned about the possibility of an erroneous call, for example, a text such as “Isn't it an incorrect touch? A name near the touch is displayed.” You may comprise.

  In step S1403, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 determines whether the name 402 has been selected from the reselection screen displayed on the display screen 200. If the name 402 has not been selected (NO in step S1403), the flow proceeds to step S1405. On the other hand, if the name 402 is selected (YES in step S1403), the flow proceeds to step S1404. In step S <b> 1404, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 acquires the telephone number 403 corresponding to the selected name 402 from, for example, the contact management information 400, places a call to the acquired telephone number 403, and places a call. Subsequently, in step S1405, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 determines whether or not the end of transmission has been selected. When the end of transmission has not been selected (NO in step S1405), the flow returns to step S1403. On the other hand, when the transmission end is selected (YES in step S1405), this operation flow ends and returns to the operation flow in FIG. 6, and the operation flow in FIG. 6 also ends.

  6, 12, and 14, the control unit 300 allows the telephones before and after the telephone number 403 selected from the list of telephone numbers 403 of the contact information 401 when making a call. The number 403 is extracted, and call target candidate extraction information 1100 is generated. For example, in the case of an erroneous selection that occurs when the user tries to select the contact information 401 of the other party who wants to make a call from the list of contact information 401, it is displayed in the vicinity of the contact information 401 of the other party who wants to make a call. In many cases, the contact information 401 is erroneously selected. Therefore, when an erroneous selection occurs, there is a high possibility that the contact information 401 of the other party who originally wanted to call is in the vicinity of the selected contact information 401. Therefore, the contact information 401 within a predetermined range is extracted from the selected contact information 401.

  In addition, the control unit 300 of the communication apparatus 100 confirms whether or not the telephone number 403 included in the generated call target candidate extraction information 1100 exists in the history information 500. As described above, in recent years, various communication methods such as e-mail and social networking services have been developed in addition to telephones, and users can communicate with others through various methods. It is. In such a situation, the person who makes a call is limited to a specific person, and there is a tendency that such a person can make a call repeatedly. On the other hand, it is not uncommon to never call another particular person. Therefore, by extracting the telephone number 403 existing in the telephone number 503 of the history information 500 from the telephone numbers 403 included in the call target candidate extraction information 1100, there is a possibility that the user 3 is the other party who wants to make a call. It is possible to extract the telephone number 403 of a high person. Then, from such a reselection screen that displays a list of names 402 corresponding to the telephone numbers 1303 of the reselection candidate information 1300 from which the person who is likely to be the other party who wants to make a call is extracted, Reselect. Therefore, it is possible to suppress erroneous transmission due to erroneous selection of a telephone destination.

  In the second embodiment, the name 402 is displayed on the reselection screen so that the names 402 are displayed in order of increasing elapsed time, for example. By configuring in this way, it becomes easy to display a partner with a high frequency of making a call or a partner with whom there is a recent task, and this leads to further suppression of erroneous selection by the user 3.

  Furthermore, in step S1202, it may be determined whether or not the selected telephone number 403 is registered in the communication record 501 having the communication date and time 502 within a predetermined period in the communication record 501 of the history information 500. I mentioned that. For example, even in the case of a party who frequently called in the past, there may be cases where the user cannot make a call at all due to environmental changes. Therefore, by using the communication record 501 within a predetermined period in step S1202, the telephone number 403 of the other party who has made a call in the past but has recently stopped calling is included in the call target candidate extraction information 1100. You may comprise so that it may not be extracted. By configuring in this way, it is possible to suppress erroneous transmission to a partner who has been calling in the past but has recently stopped calling.

  6, 12, and 14, the control unit 300 of the communication device 100 displays a list of contact information 401 and starts the operation flow of FIG. 6 and the process of step S <b> 601.
