Further, each element of the information processing device 100 may be composed of a single or a plurality of devices, and some elements of the information processing device 100 may be omitted.

The processing device 11 is a processor that controls the entire information processing device 100, and is composed of, for example, a single chip or a plurality of chips. The processing device 11 is composed of, for example, a central processing unit (CPU) including an interface with peripheral devices, an arithmetic unit, registers, and the like. In addition, a part or all of the functions of the processing device 11 are realized by hardware such as DSP (Digital Signal Processor), ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), PLD (Programmable Logic Device), FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). You may. The processing device 11 executes various processes in parallel or sequentially.

The storage device 12 is a recording medium that can be read by the processing device 11, and stores a plurality of programs executed by the processing device 11, various data used by the processing device 11, and a usage history table TBL. The storage device 12 is composed of, for example, one or more types of storage circuits such as ROM (Read Only Memory), EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM), and RAM (Random Access Memory). The details of the usage history table TBL will be described later, but the usage history of the application program (hereinafter, referred to as “application”) is stored therein.

The communication device 13 is a device that communicates with another device via a mobile communication network or a communication network such as the Internet. The communication device 13 is also referred to as, for example, a network device, a network controller, a network card, or a communication module. For example, an application received by the communication device 13 from the distribution server (not shown) via the communication network is stored in the storage device 12.

The display device 14 displays various images under the control of the processing device 11. For example, various display panels such as a liquid crystal display panel and an organic EL display panel are preferably used as the display device 14.

The operation device 15 is a device for inputting information used by the information processing device 100. The operating device 15 accepts operations by the user. Specifically, the operating device 15 accepts an operation for inputting a code such as a number and a character and an operation for selecting an icon displayed by the display device 14. For example, a touch panel that detects contact with the display surface of the display device 14 is suitable as the operation device 15. The operation device 15 may include a plurality of controls that can be operated by the user.

The GPS device 16 receives radio waves from a plurality of satellites and generates position information from the received radio waves. The position information may be in any format as long as the position can be specified. The position information indicates, for example, the latitude and longitude of the information processing apparatus 100. In this example, it is illustrated that the position information is obtained from the GPS device 16, but the information processing device 100 may acquire the position information by any method. For example, the position information may be acquired using the cell ID assigned to the base station that is the communication destination of the information processing apparatus 100. Further, when the information processing device 100 communicates with the access point of the wireless LAN, the database in which the identification address (MAC address) on the network assigned to the access point and the actual address (location) are associated with each other is referred to. You may acquire the location information.

The timekeeping device 17 generates date and time information indicating the current date and time. Specifically, date and time information is generated by counting pulse signals obtained by dividing a clock signal generated by a crystal oscillator or the like. The date and time information includes time information and date information. The time information indicates the time. Time means the time of day. For example, it is 11:10:30 and does not include the date. The timekeeping device 17 generates date and time information, but there are cases where only the time information is used.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram focusing on the function of the information processing device 100. When the processing device 11 executes the program stored in the storage device 12, a plurality of functions (usage history management unit 31, display control unit 32, and icon generation unit 33) illustrated in FIG. 2 are realized.

The usage history management unit 31 manages the usage history of the used application. Specifically, the usage history management unit 31 stores the date and time of use, the name of the application used, the operation content, and the place of use in association with each other in the usage history table TBL. The usage history management unit 31 rearranges the usage history of the plurality of applications stored in the usage history table TBL according to the usage status of the information processing device 100. The usage status of the information processing device 100 means a state in which the information processing device 100 is being used, and is a state peculiar to the device. In other words, an element that cannot be distinguished from the status of other devices does not correspond to the usage status of the information processing device 100. Since the current time is not a state peculiar to the device, the current time alone does not correspond to the usage status of the information processing device 100. The usage status of the information processing device 100 may include the current location of the information processing device 100, an application used immediately before, and the like.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the stored contents of the usage history table TBL. The usage history table TBL stores a plurality of usage histories. One usage history consists of a set of date and time of use, application name used, operation content, and place used. In the example shown in the figure, the usage history R1 to R5 are stored in the usage history table TBL. For example, the usage history R5 indicates that the route between Tokyo and Hamamatsu was searched using the transportation application on June 25, 2017. Furthermore, the usage history R5 indicates that the transportation application was used at latitude 35.704749 degrees and longitude 139.759653 degrees (Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo).

The explanation is returned to FIG. The display control unit 32 generates a usage history screen for displaying the usage history of the application, and displays it on the display device 14. When displaying the usage history screen, the usage history management unit 31 rearranges the usage history in chronological order. For example, when the usage history is as shown in FIG. 3, the application usage history screen is as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the application usage history screen is provided with icon generation buttons B10 to B14 for converting the usage history together with the usage history into a function icon described later and adding it to the home screen.
Further, the display control unit 32 causes the display device 14 to display an icon corresponding to each usage history according to a plurality of usage histories rearranged by the usage history management unit 31. Typically, the display device 14 displays an icon corresponding to each usage history in the order of the rearranged plurality of usage histories. However, the meaning according to the rearranged plurality of usage histories is not limited to this, and the icons corresponding to the rearranged plurality of usage histories are displayed on the display device 14 in the order according to a predetermined rule. Means to let you. For example, the icon corresponding to the second usage history as a result of sorting may be displayed on the display device 14 first.
After the information processing device 100 is activated, when the user releases the lock, the home screen is displayed on the display device 14. The icon is displayed on the home screen.

After being started, when the user inputs an instruction using the operation device 15, the application executes the instructed operation. For example, when the map application is started, it starts operating and displays an input field on the screen for inputting the location of the map to be displayed. When the user inputs a place name in the input field, the map application displays the map of the input place name on the display device 14. In this case, the operation content of the map application is to display the map of the input place name.

The icons of the present embodiment are roughly classified into normal icons and function icons. A normal icon is a shortcut to launch an app. The function icon is used to execute a predetermined operation content in addition to launching the application. For example, clicking the normal icon of the map application starts the map application and waits for the input of the place name. On the other hand, when the function icon of the map application is clicked, the map application is started, and an operation such as displaying a map of "Hamamatsu" is performed.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a home screen that displays a normal icon, and FIG. 6 shows an example of a home screen that displays a function icon. In the present embodiment, the normal icon is pre-installed, and the function icon is generated as needed.
The normal icon X1 shown in FIG. 5 is associated with a mail application that executes sending or receiving a mail. Normally, the icon X2 is associated with a weather application that checks the weather. When you enter the place name and day, the weather app displays the weather of the entered date and time in the entered area.
Normally, the icon X3 is associated with a traffic application that searches for a train route. Normally, the icon X4 is associated with a telephone application used for transmitting or making a telephone call. Normally, the icon X5 is associated with a news application that examines news. Further, when the button B1 is clicked, the usage history screen is displayed. When the button B2 is clicked, a list of applications that can be used by the information processing device 100 is displayed.

The function icon Y1 shown in FIG. 6 is associated with the mail application and is used for viewing received mail. The function icon Y2 is associated with the weather application and is used to display the weather of tomorrow's "Hamamatsu". The function icon Y3 is associated with a traffic application that searches for a train route, and is used to display a train route between "Tokyo" and "Hamamatsu".

The explanation is returned to FIG. The icon generation unit 33 generates a function icon based on the operation signal output from the operation device 15. Specifically, the application usage history screen that displays the plurality of usage histories described above is provided with an icon generation button that instructs the generation of a function icon corresponding to the usage history (for example, B10 to FIG. 4). B14). Then, when the user operates the icon generation button, the icon generation unit 33 generates a function icon that executes the operation content of the usage history corresponding to the operated icon generation button. For example, since the usage history R5 shown in FIG. 3 is the “route between Tokyo and Hamamatsu” as the operation content, the function icon generated based on the usage history R5 is the function icon Y3 shown in FIG. In this case, the icon generation unit 33 combines the image of the normal icon of the traffic application and the image of the text indicating the operation content of the usage history R5 to generate the function icon Y3.
The function icon does not require you to enter instructions after launching the app. Therefore, by adopting the function icon, the convenience of the user who is unfamiliar with the operation of the information processing device 100 can be improved. In particular, an elderly person may not be able to reproduce the operation even if he / she can operate the information processing device 100 and realize a desired function by using the application. Since the function icon includes the operation content, even an elderly person can master the information processing device 100.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the storage process of the usage history. First, when the processing device 11 detects the selection of the icon based on the operation signal output from the operation device 15 (step Sa1), the processing device 11 determines whether or not the selected icon is a normal icon (step Sa2). ..

When the normal icon is selected, the determination result in step Sa2 becomes affirmative, and the processing device 11 starts the application corresponding to the selected normal icon (step Sa3). After that, the processing device 11 receives the input of the operation content (step Sa4) and executes the operation content (step Sa5). Inputting the operation content is to input the parameters necessary for the application to execute the process. For example, in the case of a news app, the parameters include news genres such as economy, international, and sports, and news occurrence dates.

On the other hand, when the icon selected by the user is a function icon and the determination result in step Sa2 is negative, the processing device 11 starts the application corresponding to the selected function icon and associates it with the function icon. The operation content that has been performed is executed (step Sa6).
After that, the processing device 11 stores the application name, the current date and time, the current location, and the operation content as the usage history in the usage history table TBL (step Sa7). The processing device 11 uses the position information output from the GPS device 16 as the current location, and uses the time information output from the timekeeping device 17 as the current time.

By generating the usage history and storing it in the usage history table TBL each time the application is started in this way, the usage history of the user's application is accumulated. Therefore, by analyzing the usage history, it is possible to grasp the tendency of the application used by the user.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a home screen generation process. The processing device 11 detects that the user has selected the home based on the operation signal output from the operation device 15 (step Sb1). After that, the processing device 11 rearranges the usage history according to the usage status of the information processing device 100 (step Sb2). Next, the information processing device 100 causes the display device 14 to display a home screen in which icons corresponding to the usage history are arranged in the order of the rearranged usage history.

There are a first aspect and a second aspect in the rearrangement of the usage history in the present embodiment. In the first aspect, the usage status of the information processing apparatus 100 is the current location of the information processing apparatus 100, and the usage history is rearranged in the order in which the location of the usage history is closer to the current location. This function is carried out by the usage history management unit 31 shown in FIG.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the contents of the first aspect of the sorting process in the first embodiment. The processing device 11 acquires the current position information output from the GPS device 16 as the current location (step Sc1). The position information may be acquired by using the cell ID assigned to the base station that is the communication destination of the information processing apparatus 100. Further, when the information processing device 100 communicates with the access point of the wireless LAN, the database in which the identification address (MAC address) on the network assigned to the access point and the actual address (location) are associated with each other is referred to. You may acquire the location information.
Next, the processing device 11 rearranges a plurality of usage histories in order in which the usage history location is closer to the current location (step Sc2). More specifically, the processing device 11 calculates a distance from the current position information and the position information of the usage history, compares the calculated distances, and rearranges a plurality of usage histories in ascending order of distance.

By performing such sorting, the icons displayed on the home screen will be displayed with priority given to the icons of the applications used in the past at the current location.
For example, suppose an elderly user is at his grandson's house. In this case, the icon of the application used at the grandchild's house in the past is displayed on the home screen with priority over the icon of the application used at home on the home screen. If you took a picture of your grandson at your grandson's house in the past and browsed the picture, the camera app icon and album app icon will be displayed on the home screen. Elderly people are unfamiliar with the information processing device 100 such as a smartphone, and it is not easy to master the operation method. According to the first aspect described above, it is possible to focus on the location and display the icon of the application used in the past with priority on the home screen. As a result, the convenience of the information processing device 100 is improved.
The accuracy of the position information can be set as appropriate. If the accuracy of the position information is lowered, the position information may match in different usage histories. In this case, the order of rearranging the usage history may be determined according to a predetermined rule. Further, if the location information matches, the usage history may not be rearranged. Further, the order of rearranging the usage history may be randomly determined.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the contents of the second aspect of the sorting process in the first embodiment. In the second aspect, step Sc3 is added to the subsequent stages of step Sc1 and step Sc2 shown in FIG. In step Sc3, the processing device 11 rearranges the usage history in the order of proximity to the current time with respect to the usage history that matches the acquired location. As described in the first aspect, if the accuracy of the position information is lowered, the position information may match in different usage histories. However, if the accuracy of the position information is too high, inconvenience may occur. For example, when using the nearest station for commuting, the information processing device 100 may be used when the user waits for a train at the station to view received mails or check the schedule. Here, it is assumed that the place where the received mail is viewed and the place where the schedule is confirmed are separated by about 10 m. In such a case, there is little need to treat it as a different place, but rather it is desirable to treat it as a usage history at the nearest station.

For example, at the nearest station, during the morning commute time, after browsing economic news using the news app, suppose that today's schedule is confirmed using the schedule app. Also, at the nearest station, it is assumed that at night when returning home, after seeing a picture of a child using the album app, listening to music using the music app. In such a case, in the first aspect, the usage history of the news application, the usage history of the schedule application, the usage history of the album application, and the usage history of the music application cannot be prioritized.

On the other hand, in the second aspect, the current time and the time in the usage history are compared. Therefore, when the information processing device 100 is started during the morning commuting time, the icon of the news application and the schedule application are displayed on the home screen. Icon is displayed in preference to the album app icon and the music app icon.
As described above, in the second aspect, as the usage status of the information processing device 100, not only the place of use but also the time of use is adopted, so that the convenience of the information processing device 100 can be enhanced.

<2. Second Embodiment>
The information processing device 100 according to the second embodiment is configured in the same manner as the information processing device 100 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, except for the rearrangement processing of the usage history in step Sb2 of FIG. The operation is the same.

The sorting process of the second embodiment has three modes, but all of them are common in that the application used immediately before is used as an element as the usage status of the information processing device 100.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the contents of the first aspect of the sorting process in the second embodiment. First, the processing device 11 refers to the usage history table TBL and specifies the past usage history of the application used immediately before (step Sd1). Next, the processing device 11 rearranges the usage history in order of the closest usage time of the specified past usage history (step Sd2).

For example, suppose a user goes on a business trip to Hamamatsu tomorrow. Here, it is assumed that the user uses the information processing device 100 to check the weather in Hamamatsu tomorrow. In this case, the usage history of the app used immediately before indicates to check "tomorrow's weather in Hamamatsu" using the weather app. When the usage history table TBL is as shown in FIG. 12, the usage history R1 corresponds to the usage history of the application used immediately before, and the usage history R5 corresponds to the past usage history of the application used immediately before. In this case, the usage time of the specified past usage history is "19:30". When the usage history is rearranged, the usage history table TBL becomes as shown in FIG.

In this case, on the home screen, a function icon corresponding to the search for the "route between Tokyo Hamamatsu" of the transportation application corresponding to the usage history R4 (for example, the function icon Y3 shown in FIG. 6) and the map application "Map of Hamamatsu" are displayed. The function icon corresponding to the display of "" is displayed in preference to other icons.

According to the first aspect of the sorting process in the second embodiment, when the application used immediately before is used in the past, the icons of the applications used before and after the application are displayed preferentially on the home screen. Therefore, after the processing of a certain application is completed, the icon of the related application is displayed with priority. As a result, the convenience of the user can be improved.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the contents of the second aspect of the sorting process in the second embodiment. First, the processing device 11 refers to the usage history table TBL and identifies the usage history closest to the current time among the past usage histories of the application used immediately before (step Se1). Next, the processing device 11 rearranges the usage history in order of the closest usage time of the specified past usage history (step Se2).

The purpose for which the user uses the information processing device 100 often differs depending on the time zone in which the application is used. For example, when the current time is the morning commuting time, the information processing device 100 is used for the purpose of preparing before starting work, and when it is the night return time, the information processing device 100 is used for the purpose of relaxing. To use. Therefore, when referring to the usage history of the application used immediately before, considering the current time is in line with the purpose for which the user uses the information processing device 100. According to the second aspect, among the past usage history of the application used immediately before, the usage history closest to the current time is specified, so that an icon reflecting the purpose of use of the user can be displayed. ..

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the contents of the third aspect of the sorting process in the second embodiment. First, the processing device 11 refers to the usage history table TBL and identifies the usage history closest to the current location among the past usage histories of the application used immediately before (step Sf1). Next, the processing device 11 rearranges the usage history in ascending order of the usage time of the specified past usage history (step Sf2).

When there are multiple usage histories of the application used immediately before, the problem is which usage history is highly relevant to the application used immediately before. In the third aspect, the usage history in which the location is close is specified. For example, suppose your office is in Tokyo and your business trip is in Yokosuka. In this case, the app used in Tokyo, where I work, and the app used in Yokosuka, where I am on a business trip, are often different. According to the third aspect, the usage history is specified in consideration of the location, the application that is likely to be used in the future is estimated in consideration of the time, and the icon of the application is prioritized and displayed on the home screen. Let me. Therefore, since the relevance of the application is analyzed by different factors such as place and time and the icon to be displayed with priority is determined, the icon of the application highly related to the application used immediately before can be displayed on the home screen. Therefore, the convenience of the user can be improved.
