Description

Description Communication device and program execution method

The present invention relates to a communication device connected to a telephone line and used, and more particularly, to a communication device and a program execution method for determining an application program to be started according to a destination telephone number. Background art

At present, various functions are added to telephones in addition to the call function. For example, with the spread of mobile phones, camera functions, e-mail sending and receiving functions,

A function for executing a program written in Java (registered trademark) is provided, and the tendency is remarkable. Conventionally, each function of a telephone generally starts an application program that realizes the function by selecting a function from a menu for selecting a function to be executed by a user. However, with the recent increase in the number of functions of telephones, cooperation between functions, such as calling the telephone function from the e-mail transmission / reception function, has come to be taken. This has made it possible to provide services combining multiple functions.

Here, a call recording function is an example of a function combined with the call function. This means that when a certain key is pressed during a call, the call recording function is activated and the contents of the call are recorded. Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 4-48849 (Reference 1) proposes a telephone that extracts telephone number data from an incoming call signal and makes a call using the extracted telephone number data as an example of an extension of this function. . This is because, during a call to the telephone directory guide, when a predetermined key is pressed, the voice recognition device extracts the telephone number data from the reception signal of the voice flowing from the telephone number guide, stores the telephone number, and then transmits the call key. It is a telephone that presses to call the stored telephone number.

Other examples of functions combined with the call function include: There is a way to start the ram. Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 10-107717 (Reference 2) proposes a method of automatically starting an application program according to a caller upon receiving a call. In this method, information associating a telephone number with an application program is stored in a telephone in advance, a telephone number of a caller is extracted from the received information, and an application program associated with the telephone number is started. It is a method of doing. Other methods of starting an application program associated with an incoming telephone number are described in JP-A-2000-307765 (Reference 3), JP-A-2001-57595 (Reference 4), and JP-A-2001-16346. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 11-308363 (Literature 6), Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. I have. Each of the methods described in these documents defines the activation of an application program for an incoming call, extracts the telephone number of the caller, and executes the application program corresponding to the telephone number. Disclosure of the invention

On the other hand, the present invention activates an application program according to a telephone number to be transmitted. The difference between the present invention and the methods described in the above-mentioned documents 2 to 8 is that the activation of the application program is active at the time of making a call, and therefore, in particular, the emergency The effect of the present invention is remarkable when the purpose of the transmission is clear, such as a contact requiring a call.

For example, if a user using the telephone described in Reference 1 wants to take a memo of the call during a call, the user can enter information in a memo pad or operate a keypad to activate the telephone's recording function. During a call, the phone user needs to be aware of and perform some operation. If the other party is a human, you can wait while performing these operations.For example, if the other party is a machine, such as automatic voice guidance, it is necessary to match the other party's pace. May miss the timing to do it. The telephone described in Reference 1 does not automatically activate the speech recognition device, but requires user operation during a call. Also, the directory assistance function is not so often It is not practical to assign a key for this limited function because it is not used, and is generally not an emergency or emergency. Furthermore, when a telephone user operates a plurality of functions simultaneously or in cooperation with each other, some operation by the telephone user cannot be performed smoothly.

Thus, according to the present invention, when a call is made by a communication device, a specific process corresponding to the call destination can be performed by starting an application program corresponding to the call destination telephone number, thereby improving convenience.

Program control unit (program execution means, program control means) 103 is included.

The user of the telephone 100 presses a key (not shown) of the telephone tongue 100, or displays the telephone directory data stored in the telephone 100 in advance on the display of the telephone 100. (Not shown), and select a destination from the displayed phonebook data, and enter the destination telephone number in the telephone number input section 101.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of information stored in the database 104 and associating an application program with a destination telephone number. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the destination telephone number "1 17" is associated with the time setting application program, and the destination telephone number "1 110" is associated with the emergency contact application program. The destination telephone number “104” is associated with the recording application program, and the destination telephone number “1 19” is associated with the emergency contact application program.

The application program control unit 103 is realized by a CPU (central processing unit). For example, the application program control unit 103 is connected to a communication network, downloads an application program from a server connected to the communication network, and downloads the application program. Is stored in the application program storage unit 105 and installed in the telephone set 100. The application program control unit 103 may download the application program from a device connected by a serial cable, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable, infrared communication, or the like.

The database registration unit i 06 may display information indicating the application program on the display unit of the telephone 100, and the user of the telephone 100 may use the keys and the operation unit (not shown) of the telephone 100. ) May be operated to input information for associating the application program with the destination telephone number. Then, the database registration unit 106 may generate information for associating the application program input by the user with the destination telephone number, and store the information in the database 104. That is, the user of the telephone 100 may input information for associating the application program with the destination telephone number via a GUI (Graphical User Interface). Further, the application program downloaded by the application program control unit 103 includes information indicating the corresponding destination telephone number and information indicating the application program, and the database registration unit 106 stores the application program in the application program. Based on the information indicating the corresponding destination telephone number included in the application program downloaded by the program control unit 103 and the information indicating the application program, information for associating the application program with the destination telephone number is stored in the database. It may be stored in 104. The database 104 may store information that associates an application program with a destination telephone number in a binary format or in a text format. Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The user of the telephone 100 presses the key of the telephone 100 or displays the telephone directory data stored in advance in the telephone 100 on the display unit of the telephone 100, and selects a destination from the displayed telephone directory data. The destination phone number in the phone number input area 101.

The telephone number storage unit 102 stores the destination telephone number input to the telephone number input unit 101, and inputs the destination telephone number to the application program control unit 103. The application program control unit 103 searches the database 104 for an application program corresponding to the input destination telephone number.

(Step S101). If no application program corresponding to the input destination telephone number is found (step S102), a normal call is made (step S104). When the application program corresponding to the input destination telephone number is found from the database 104 (step S102), the application program control unit 103 stores the application program stored in the application program storage unit 105. (Step S103). Then, a call is made to the input destination telephone number (step S104).

Here, as an example, it is assumed that the destination telephone number input by the user to the telephone number input unit 101 is “1 17”. It is also assumed that the database 104 stores information that associates “1 17” with the “time setting application program” as shown in the example of FIG. Then, the “time setting application program” becomes the application program to be started in step S103.

Next, as a first specific example of this embodiment, a case where the destination telephone number input by the user to the telephone number input section 101 is “1 17” will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a part for executing the first specific example in telephone 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In a first example, telephone 100 receives a voice signal from a telephone line. The output unit 110 generates the character string data based on the audio signal received by the receiving unit 110, which converts the audio signal received by the receiving unit 110 into audio and outputs the audio signal. A time change application program execution unit that extracts time information from the character string data and changes the time indicated by the clock (not shown) of the telephone 100 based on the extracted time information; and It includes a data storage unit 140 for storing character string data generated by the time change application program execution unit 120.

The time change application program execution unit 120 is realized by the application program control unit 103. The time setting application program executed by the time change application program execution section 120 includes a voice analysis module program 1 21 that converts the audio signal received by the reception section 110 into a character string and generates character string data, and A time setting module program 122 for extracting time information from the character string data and changing the time indicated by the clock (not shown) of the telephone 100 based on the extracted time information. The voice analysis module program 121 converts the voice signal into a character string by using an existing voice recognition method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-089793, for example. Generate data. The time setting module program 122 reads the character string data stored in the data storage unit 140, and reads the characters “hour”, “minute”, and “second” contained in the character string data, Extract character string. For example, in the case of the C language, it is possible to determine whether or not an extracted character string is a numerical value by using a function called is d i g i t (). Then, the time setting module program 1 2 2 identifies the number before “hour” as a number indicating “hour”, and identifies the number before “minute” as a number indicating “minute”. , Identify the number before “second” as a number indicating “second”.

Next, the operation of the first specific example will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the first specific example.

Upon receiving the audio signal (step S201), the receiving unit 110 converts the received audio signal into an audio analysis module program 121 of the clock setting application execution unit 120 and a speaker 130 To enter. The speaker 130 converts the input audio signal into audio and outputs it. The voice analysis module program 1 2 1 analyzes the voice signal, converts it into a character string, generates character string data (step S 2 0 2), and stores the generated character string data in the data storage section 1 40. (Step S203). The telephone set 100 repeats the operation from step S201 to step S203 until the call ends. When the call ends (step S204), the time setting module program 122 of the time setting application program 120 reads out the character string data stored in the data storage section 140 (step S204). 0 5), if the character string data includes a time-related numerical value (step S 206), extract the time-related character string.

(Step S207).

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a character string extracted by the time setting module program 122. In the example shown in Fig. 6, the character string "12: 12: 12: 12 pm" is extracted. When the time setting module program 122 fails to extract the character string relating to the time (step S208), the time setting application program performs an end process (step S210). The extraction of the time-related character string failed when the time setting application program did not provide enough information to set the time, for example, when a call was made and the call was immediately terminated. And so on. If the extraction of the character string relating to the time is successful (step S209), the time setting module program 122 sets the time of the clock of the telephone set 100 (step S209).

Here, an error may occur between the time indicated by the character string relating to the time extracted by the time setting module program 122 and the actual time, depending on the time required for the operation of the time setting application program and the like. For this reason, the time setting application program starts measuring time at the time of startup, and when the time setting module program 122 sets the time, the time setting module program 122 extracts characters related to the time extracted. The time set in the telephone 100 is set to the actual time by adding the time measured since the time setting application program was started to the time indicated in the column. Then, the time on the clock of the telephone 100 can be set to an accurate time. Time setting module program 1 2 2 When the setting of the time of the clock 0 is completed, the time setting application program performs an end process (step S210).

According to the first specific example of this embodiment, the user of telephone 100 can automatically set the clock of telephone 100 to the correct time by calling "1 17".

Also, as a second specific example of this embodiment, a case will be described in which the destination telephone number input by the user to the telephone number input unit 101 is “1 110” or “1 19”.

If the destination telephone number entered by the user in the telephone number input section 101 is “1 110” or “1 19”, the database 104 stores the destination as shown in the example of FIG. Assuming that the information for associating the telephone number “1 1 0” or “1 1 9” with the “emergency contact application program” is stored, the “emergency contact application program” is executed in step S 1 in FIG. This is the application program to be started in 03. For example, if the phone 100 is installed outdoors, the Emergency Contact Application Program identifies the latitude and longitude of the current location using the Global Positioning System (GPS), and identifies the identified latitude and longitude. May be converted to a voice signal and the process performed when the signal is transmitted to the destination may be performed. The telephone 100 may have a function of receiving a GPS signal.

In addition, for example, when the telephone 100 is a mobile phone used indoors, the “emergency contact application program” uses the radio wave intensity received from a plurality of base stations of the mobile phone to transmit from each base station. The current position may be determined by measuring the distance, and the specified current position may be converted into an audio signal, and the process performed when the signal is transmitted to the destination may be performed.

Further, for example, if the telephone 100 is a home telephone used indoors, the "emergency contact application program" stores a telephone directory database, which is a database of telephone numbers and addresses, in advance. The address is extracted from the telephone directory database based on the telephone number of the telephone 100, the extracted address is converted into a voice signal, and the call is transmitted. When sent to The processing may be performed, or the user of the telephone 100 stores the address of the telephone 100 in advance in the storage unit of the telephone 100, and the storage unit of the telephone 100 stores the address. The process of converting the address of the telephone 100 into a voice signal and transmitting it to the destination may be performed. Further, the telephone directory database may be stored in a server connected to telephone 100 via a communication line.

According to the second specific example of this embodiment, the user of telephone 100 does not need to notify his / her current position by voice. Further, the receiving side can know the exact position of the telephone 100 from the received information of the latitude and longitude and the address. This makes it possible to respond quickly in an emergency.

Furthermore, as a third specific example of this embodiment, a case where the destination telephone number input by the user to the telephone number input unit 101 is “104” will be described.

If the destination telephone number entered by the user into the telephone number input section 101 is “104”, the database 104 stores the destination telephone number “104” as shown in the example of FIG. ”And“ recording application program ”are stored. Then, the “recording application program” becomes the application program to be started in step S103 in FIG. The “recording application program” records, for example, received voice. In addition, the “recording application program” extracts, for example, character string data corresponding to a telephone number from a recorded voice, and inputs the extracted character string data to an application program having an address book or memo pad function. Then, a process of storing the information in the storage unit of the telephone 100 may be performed. To extract the character string data corresponding to the telephone number from the recorded voice, for example, the voice recognition is performed in the same manner as in the first specific example, and the voice is converted into character string data. The character string data after "may be extracted. Then, the user of the telephone 100 can know the desired telephone number by referring to the character string data stored in the storage unit of the telephone 100 without taking notes during a call.

Here, the termination processing of the application program will be described. The timing of terminating the application program is, for example, when the call ends. When the application control unit 103 in FIG. 1 receives a call termination notification from a call control unit (not shown) that controls the telephone call of the telephone 100, it notifies the operating application program of the notification. I do. The operation of the application program that has received the call termination notification may be different for each application program. In other words, the execution of the application program does not have to be terminated immediately upon receiving the call termination notification. For example, as in the first specific example, the "time setting application program" When finished, the time setting module program 122 sets the clock time of the telephone 120 based on the character string data stored in the data storage section 140, and then terminates the application program. The ram determines the operation of the termination processing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the destination telephone number stored in the telephone number storage unit 102 in FIG. 1 is the destination telephone number input to the telephone number input unit 101. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the telephone number input unit and the telephone number storage unit may be in any form as long as the destination telephone number is input to the telephone number storage unit 102. Good. That is, it is only necessary that the telephone number storage unit 102 can store the destination telephone number.

In the database 104 shown in the example of FIG. 2, the correspondence between the destination telephone number and the ablation program may be predetermined at the time of shipment of the telephone 100, or may be the telephone 100. The user or the telephone 100 itself may be able to add, change, or delete later. In this embodiment, the application program of the database 104 is managed by name, but may be an index such as a numerical value or a symbol as long as the application program can be specified.

The application program associated with the destination telephone number may be an application program stored in advance in the application program storage unit 105 of the telephone set 100 when the telephone set 100 is shipped, or may be an application program. The control unit 103 may be an application program downloaded and stored in the application program storage unit 105. The present invention is more effective for a destination telephone number such as "104" or "1 19", for which the purpose of the transmission is clear, but the telephone number of a fixed telephone or a mobile telephone. For example, an application program may be associated with the application program.

In the description of the present invention, a program associated with a destination telephone number is referred to as an “application program”. However, any program that performs some kind of processing, such as a thread, a task, or a process, may be used. .

Although the present invention has been described using the telephone 100 as an example, the process of activating an application program corresponding to the outgoing call process can be applied to other communication devices. That is, the present invention can be applied to a facsimile machine, a PC (Personal Computer), a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), etc. compatible with an IP (Internet Protocol) telephone.

As described above, according to this embodiment, since the ablation program according to the destination telephone number is operated, it is possible to cause the telephone 100 to perform processing according to the destination telephone number. The convenience of the user of the telephone 100 is improved.
