[Hardware configuration of mobile terminal]
First, the hardware configuration of the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal 1 is, for example, a mobile phone, and a normal computer can be used as a hardware configuration. The mobile terminal 1 includes a CPU 101, a storage unit 102 including a ROM and a RAM for storing various programs and data, a storage device (hard disk device) 103 for storing various programs and data, and a telephone network.

These components are connected to each other via a system bus 111. A touch panel is provided on the surface of the display unit 109. Therefore, the user can specify a region or tap by touching a predetermined portion of the information while viewing the information displayed on the display unit 109.

In the storage unit 102, a mobile OS (operating system) 120 for providing basic functions of the mobile terminal 1 and one application among a plurality of applications are selected according to the user's operation on the mobile terminal 1, and the user An application selection program 121 that executes an application using parameters included in the information specified by the input information, a Web browser 122 that is application software for browsing information such as an HTML document published on the Web, a text file A text editor 123 that is an application for creating and editing, an image editor 124 that is an application for creating and editing an image, and a camera that captures an image by taking a picture with a camera. Photographing program 125 and the like are stored.

Note that these programs are also stored in the storage device 103 (not shown), and are read from the storage device 103 to the RAM of the storage unit 102 by the CPU 101 when the mobile terminal 1 performs processing. FIG. 1 shows an example of a state in which these programs are read from the storage device 103 to the storage unit 102. These programs can be stored and distributed on a storage medium such as a magnetic disk (floppy (registered trademark) disk, hard disk, etc.), optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.), semiconductor memory, etc. It can be downloaded from the connected external server to the storage device 103 via the communication unit 104.

When the mobile OS 120 is executed by the CPU 101, the basic functions of the mobile terminal 1 are the storage unit 102, the storage device 103, the communication unit 104, the touch sensor unit 105, the acceleration sensor unit 106, the gyro sensor unit 107, and the camera. The imaging unit 108, the display unit 109, and the power supply unit 110 are managed. Then, the application selection program 121 and the like are executed in a state where the portable OS 120 is executed by the CPU 101.

The storage device 103 stores an application candidate list DB 130 in which a list of a plurality of application candidates is stored as a DB (database), and a plurality of application programs such as a Web browser 122, a text editor 123, an image editor 124, and a camera shooting program 125. Is stored in the application program DB 131 and the like.

As described above, in the mobile terminal 1, under the hardware configuration illustrated in FIG. 1, the control unit 100 executes various processes to be described later by executing the application selection program 121.

[Functional configuration of mobile terminal]
Next, the functional configuration of the mobile terminal 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the mobile terminal 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates a functional configuration when the control unit 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 executes the application selection program 121. The portable terminal 1 includes a panel contact detection unit 10, a vibration detection unit 11, a designation information detection unit 12, a designation information analysis unit 13, an application candidate processing unit 14, an application execution unit 15, an application candidate list DB 130, and an application program DB 131. ing. The portable terminal 1 specifies one or more parameters included in the designation information for information (designation information) designated by the user's operation, and selects one application among a plurality of applications related to the parameter. Select, pass the parameters to the selected application, and execute the selected application.

The panel contact detection unit 10 includes a touch sensor that detects a user operation on the touch panel. The panel contact detection unit 10 generates information on a position where the user's finger touches the touch panel (an area represented by coordinates on the touch panel) and information on contact indicating that the touch has been made according to a user operation on the touch panel. Then, the panel contact detection unit 10 outputs the contact information (contact position and presence of contact) to the designation information detection unit 12, the designation information analysis unit 13, and the application candidate processing unit 14.

For example, assume that when a text sentence is displayed on the screen of the display unit 109 shown in FIG. 1, the user touches a predetermined word part of the text sentence. The panel contact detection unit 10 generates a position of a predetermined word touched by the user (an area in which the touched position on the touch panel is represented by coordinates) as contact information (contact position and presence of contact).

The vibration detection unit 11 includes an acceleration sensor that detects the vibration of the mobile terminal 1. In order to determine the position touched by the user, the vibration detection unit 11 holds data of the mobile terminal 1 when holding and shaking the mobile terminal 1 (when the mobile terminal 1 is vibrated). Generate. Then, the vibration detection unit 11 outputs vibration information (data indicating the magnitude of vibration) to the specified information detection unit 12.

The designation information detection unit 12 receives contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the panel contact detection unit 10 and receives vibration information (data indicating the magnitude of vibration) from the vibration detection unit 11. Then, the designation information detection unit 12 stores the contact information (contact position and contact presence) when the contact information with contact is input in the storage unit 102 shown in FIG. Compare with threshold. When the designation information detection unit 12 determines that the vibration information data is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value, the designation information detection unit 12 reads the contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the storage unit 102 and displays it in the area indicated by the contact position. Information (for example, a word string such as a Japanese sentence or an English sentence, a latitude and a longitude at a point on a map) is detected as designation information. Specifically, the designation information detection unit 12 displays, on the screen, the information displayed in the area indicated by the contact position among the information displayed on the screen of the display unit 109 illustrated in FIG. The information is identified by associating the coordinates of the information with the coordinates of the area indicated by the contact position. Thereby, the designation | designated information detection part 12 can detect the information currently displayed on the area | region which a contact position shows as designation | designated information. Then, the designation information detection unit 12 outputs the designation information to the designation information analysis unit 13. On the other hand, if the specified information detection unit 12 determines that the vibration information data is not equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value, the specified information detection unit 12 inputs new vibration information from the vibration detection unit 11 and sets the new vibration information data and the predetermined value. Compare with threshold.

For example, when a certain text sentence is displayed on the screen of the display unit 109 shown in FIG. 1, the user touches a predetermined word portion of the text sentence, and then the mobile terminal 1 is moved. Suppose that it is shaken. The designation information detection unit 12 inputs contact information of a portion of a predetermined word touched by the user and stores the contact information in the storage unit 102. Thereafter, when the user shakes the mobile terminal 1, the vibration information is input and the storage unit Contact information is read from 102, and a predetermined word touched by the user is detected as designation information based on the contact position included in the contact information.

As described above, according to the designation information detection unit 12, since the contact information (contact position and presence of contact) is temporarily stored, the user touches a predetermined portion with a finger, and then touches the touched finger. The mobile terminal 1 can be shaken away from the touch panel. Therefore, the user does not have to shake the mobile terminal 1 while maintaining a state in which the predetermined part is touched. Therefore, the touch operation on the touch panel and the operation of shaking the mobile terminal 1 can be performed separately. A series of operations becomes easier.

The designation information analysis unit 13 receives the contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the panel contact detection unit 10, inputs the designation information from the designation information detection unit 12, analyzes the designation information, and is included in the designation information And determines whether the parameter is one or more. For example, when the designation information is a text sentence including a word string, the parameter is data of a word specified from the text sentence. Further, for example, when the designation information is latitude and longitude at a point on the map, the parameters are data of latitude and longitude at the point. The parameter may be a file name. What the parameters are is predefined. For example, when the specified information is a text sentence composed of a word string, the specified information is analyzed by morphologically analyzing the word string into a plurality of words, and excluding particles etc. from the decomposed words. Select only the words that

When the designated information analysis unit 13 determines that there is one parameter, it outputs the one parameter to the application candidate processing unit 14. On the other hand, if the designation information analysis unit 13 determines that there are a plurality of parameters, the designation information analysis unit 13 displays the plurality of parameters on the display unit 109 illustrated in FIG. 1, and selects one parameter among the plurality of parameters by a user operation. Let me specify. Then, the designation information analysis unit 13 inputs contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the panel contact detection unit 10 when the user taps one parameter portion of the plurality of parameters. The parameter displayed in the indicated area is specified by associating the coordinates of a plurality of parameters displayed on the screen with the coordinates of the area indicated by the contact position. Thereby, the designation | designated information analysis part 13 can specify one parameter of several parameters according to a user's operation. Then, the specified information analysis unit 13 outputs the specified one parameter to the application candidate processing unit 14.

In addition, when it is determined that there are a plurality of parameters, the designation information analysis unit 13 may cause two or more parameters among the plurality of parameters to be designated by a user operation. In this case, the designation information analysis unit 13 inputs contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the panel contact detection unit 10 when the user taps a part of two or more parameters among a plurality of parameters. The parameters displayed in the region indicated by the position (two or more tapped regions) are specified by associating the coordinates of the plurality of parameters displayed on the screen with the coordinates of the region indicated by the contact position. Thereby, the designation | designated information analysis part 13 can specify two or more parameters among several parameters according to a user's operation. Then, the designation information analysis unit 13 outputs the specified two or more parameters to the application candidate processing unit 14. Here, the two or more parameters specified by the user's operation include all parameters in a plurality of parameters included in the specification information. That is, when all of a plurality of parameters are specified by a user operation, the designation information analysis unit 13 outputs all the parameters to the application candidate processing unit 14. Further, when the designation information analysis unit 13 determines that there are a plurality of parameters, the plurality of parameters are displayed on the display unit 109 without prompting the user to perform a designation operation. You may make it output to the application candidate process part 14 as it is.

Further, the user may perform an operation of shaking the mobile terminal 1 in addition to the operation of tapping, instead of the operation of tapping one parameter or two or more parameters displayed on the display unit 109. . That is, the designation information analysis unit 13 is generated by the user's tap operation from the panel contact detection unit 10 when specifying one parameter or two or more parameters among the plurality of parameters according to the user's operation. Contact information (contact position and presence of contact) is input, and vibration information generated by the user shaking the mobile terminal 1 is input from the vibration detection unit 11, and the vibration information data is a predetermined threshold value. When it determines with it being above, you may make it specify one parameter or two or more parameters which a contact position shows among several parameters.

The application candidate processing unit 14 inputs contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the panel contact detection unit 10, inputs one parameter from the specified information analysis unit 13, and specifies the classification of the input parameter. Then, the application candidate processing unit 14 reads a plurality of application candidates (names) related to the parameters from the application candidate list DB 130 using the parameter classification as a key. Then, the application candidate processing unit 14 displays a plurality of application candidates on the display unit 109 illustrated in FIG. 1, and designates one application candidate among the plurality of application candidates by a user operation. Then, the application candidate processing unit 14 selects one application from a plurality of application candidates based on the input contact information (contact position and contact), and executes the input one parameter and the name of the selected application. To the unit 15.

The application candidate processing unit 14 includes a parameter classification specifying unit 20, an application candidate display processing unit 21, and an application selection unit 22. The parameter classification specifying unit 20 determines whether the input parameter is a word, whether the input parameter is a file name, whether the input parameter is a latitude and longitude at a point on the map, etc. To analyze the parameters and identify the classification of the parameters. As described later, the parameter classification includes, for example, “word”, “text file / txt”, “map / point”, and the like. For example, when the parameter ends with “.” (Dot) and “txt” extension, the parameter classification specifying unit 20 specifies the parameter classification as “text file / txt”, and the parameter is a point on the map. In the case of latitude and longitude, the parameter classification is specified as “map / point”.

The application candidate display processing unit 21 searches the application candidate list DB 130 using the parameter classification specified by the parameter classification specifying unit 20 as a key, and reads a plurality of application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification. Then, the application candidate display processing unit 21 displays a plurality of application candidates on the display unit 109.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration of the application candidate list DB 130. This application candidate list DB 130 is an example. The application candidate list DB 130 includes parameter classifications and application candidates corresponding to the classifications. As a parameter classification, “word”, “word / camera”, “word / barcode”, “text file / txt”, “image file / bmp”, “moving image file / mpeg”, “map / point”, and the like are stored in the application candidate list DB 130. Has been. Further, a plurality of application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification are stored in the application candidate list DB 130. For example, “Web search”, “dictionary search”, “wisdom bag search”, and “image search” are stored as application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification “word”, and application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification “word / camera” are stored as “Web search”, “dictionary search”, “wisdom bag search”, “image search”, “camera shooting” are stored, and “Web search”, “dictionary search”, “wisdom bag” as application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification “word / barcode”. Stores “search”, “image search”, and “barcode import”. In addition, “text editor a” and “text editor b” are stored as application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification “text file / txt”, and “image image” is stored as an application candidate corresponding to the parameter classification “image file / bmp”. “Editor a” and “Image editor b” are stored, and “Movie editor a” and “Movie editor b” are stored as application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification “Movie file / mpeg”. Further, “route search”, “restaurant search”, and “bank search” are stored as application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification “map / point”.

Note that the application candidate list DB 130 is newly registered, deleted, modified, and the like by a user operation on the mobile terminal 1. An application candidate registration unit (not shown in FIG. 2) performs parameter classification, application candidate registration, deletion, correction, and the like in accordance with a user operation.

Returning to FIG. 2, for example, when the parameter is composed of the word “camera” and the parameter classification specifying unit 20 specifies the parameter classification “word / camera”, the application candidate display processing unit 21 sets the parameter The application candidate list DB 130 is searched using the classification “word / camera” as a key, and a plurality of application candidates “Web search” “dictionary search” “wisdom bag search” “image search” corresponding to this parameter classification “word / camera”. "" Camera shooting "is read out. Then, the application candidate display processing unit 21 displays a plurality of application candidates “Web search” “dictionary search” “wisdom bag search” “image search” “camera shooting” on the display unit 109.

The application selection unit 22 inputs contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the panel contact detection unit 10 when the user taps one application candidate portion of the plurality of application candidates, and the contact position indicates The application candidates displayed in the area are selected by associating the coordinates of the plurality of application candidates displayed on the screen with the coordinates of the area indicated by the contact position. Thereby, the application selection part 22 can select one application of several application candidates according to a user's operation. Then, the application selection unit 22 outputs the parameters and the name of the selected application to the application execution unit 15.

Note that the application candidate processing unit 14 may directly input the designation information as a parameter from the designation information detection unit 12 instead of inputting one parameter from the designation information analysis unit 13. That is, the application candidate processing unit 14 receives the designation information from the designation information detection unit 12 and extracts the designation information as one parameter, thereby handling the inputted parameter as one parameter.

Further, when two or more parameters are input from the designated information analysis unit 13, the application candidate processing unit 14 performs the same processing as when one parameter is input. That is, the application candidate processing unit 14 reads out a plurality of application candidates related to each parameter from the application candidate list DB 130 using each parameter classification as a key, and displays all the read application candidates on the display unit 109. In response to a user operation, one application among a plurality of application candidates is designated, and the input two or more parameters and the name of the selected one application are output to the application execution unit 15.

The application execution unit 15 inputs one parameter and one application name from the application candidate processing unit 14, reads the application program from the application program DB 131 using the application name as a key, and reads one input parameter. The application program, and execute the application.

The application execution unit 15 performs the same processing as when one parameter is input when two or more parameters and one application name are input from the application candidate processing unit 14. That is, the application execution unit 15 reads the application program from the application program DB 131 using the name of the application as a key, passes the input two or more parameters to the read application program, and executes the application.

(Modification of specified information detector)
Next, a modification of the designation information detection unit 12 shown in FIG. 2 will be described. This modification of the designation information detection unit 12 detects designation information by shaking the mobile terminal 1 while the user touches a predetermined part on the touch panel with a finger.

As described above, when the user performs a touch operation, the designation information detection unit 12 illustrated in FIG. 2 stores the input contact information (contact position and presence of contact) in the storage unit 102, and the user selects the mobile terminal 1. When it is vibrated, contact information (contact position and presence of contact) is read from the storage unit 102, and information displayed in the area indicated by the contact position is detected as designation information. According to the designation information detection unit 12 illustrated in FIG. 2, after the user touches a predetermined portion on the touch panel with a finger, the user can shake the mobile terminal 1 by releasing the touched finger from the touch panel.

On the other hand, in the modified example of the designation information detection unit 12, when a touch operation is performed by the user, contact information (contact position and presence of contact) is input from the panel contact detection unit 10, and the user vibrates the mobile terminal 1. Then, vibration information (data indicating the magnitude of vibration) is input from the vibration detector 11. And the modification of the designation | designated information detection part 12 is contact information (contact position and contact) currently input from the panel contact detection part 10, when it determines with the data of vibration information being more than a predetermined threshold value. The information displayed in the area indicated by the contact position is detected as the designated information.

As described above, according to the modification of the designation information detection unit 12, the designation information is detected based on the contact information (contact position and presence of contact) input when the user vibrates the mobile terminal 1. I made it. Thus, the user needs to maintain a state where a predetermined part on the touch panel is touched with a finger and shake the mobile terminal 1 without releasing the touched finger from the touch panel. Therefore, the user does not specify erroneous information by a touch operation on the touch panel, and can reliably specify desired information.

(Modification of application candidate processing unit)
Next, a modified example of the application candidate processing unit 14 illustrated in FIG. 2 will be described. The modification example of the application candidate processing unit 14 moves a pointer indicating one application candidate among the plurality of application candidates according to the attitude of the mobile terminal 1 when a plurality of application candidates are displayed on the screen. When the user shakes the mobile terminal 1, one application corresponding to the position of the pointer is selected.

As described above, the application candidate processing unit 14 illustrated in FIG. 2 displays a plurality of application candidates on the display unit 109, and the user taps one application candidate part among the plurality of application candidates. One application is selected from a plurality of application candidates based on the input contact information (contact position and presence of contact). On the other hand, in the modified example of the application candidate processing unit 14, the tap operation by the user is not necessary.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a modified example of the application candidate processing unit 14. The modification example of the application candidate processing unit 14 shown in FIG. 3 includes a parameter classification specifying unit 20, an application candidate display processing unit 21, a pointer moving unit 23, and an application selection unit 24. Comparing the modification example of the application candidate processing unit 14 shown in FIG. 2 and the application candidate processing unit 14 shown in FIG. 3, both are the same in that they include a parameter classification specifying unit 20 and an application candidate display processing unit 21. However, a modification of the application candidate processing unit 14 is different in that a pointer moving unit 23 and an application selecting unit 24 are provided instead of the application selecting unit 22 provided in the application candidate processing unit 14.

The parameter classification identification unit 20 identifies the classification of the parameter input from the designation information analysis unit 13 as described above. Further, as described above, the application candidate display processing unit 21 reads out a plurality of application candidates from the application candidate list DB 130 using the parameter classification as a key, and displays them on the display unit 109.

When a plurality of application candidates are displayed on the display unit 109 by the application candidate display processing unit 21, the pointer moving unit 23 sets a pointer to the application candidate displayed in the uppermost row, and the pointer moves to the application candidate part. Displays that is set. For example, the pointer moving unit 23 reversely displays the application candidate. Further, the pointer moving unit 23 receives angle information (data indicating the angle of the mobile terminal 1) from the angle detection unit 16, and angle information when a plurality of application candidates are displayed on the display unit 109 by the application selection unit 24. Is stored in the storage unit 102.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating the angle of the mobile terminal 1 in the process of the modification example of the application candidate processing unit 14. The pointer moving unit 23 inputs the angle α shown in FIG. 13 from the angle detection unit 16 as angle information when a plurality of application candidates are displayed on the display unit 109 by the application candidate display processing unit 21, and stores them in the storage unit 102. Remember. Here, the angle detection unit 16 includes a gyro sensor that detects the attitude of the mobile terminal 1. The angle detection unit 16 acquires posture information of the mobile terminal 1 (information for specifying the posture of the mobile terminal 1 in space) by the gyro sensor unit 107 illustrated in FIG. 1, and based on the posture information of the mobile terminal 1. , Detecting an angle α between the horizontal plane r and the portable terminal 1 (the smallest angle α among the angles between the axis q on the horizontal plane and the axis (central axis) p on the front surface of the portable terminal 1), The data is output to the pointer moving unit 23.

Returning to FIG. 3, the angle detection unit 16 detects a new angle between the horizontal plane r and the mobile terminal 1 when the user changes the posture of the mobile terminal 1, and new angle information (angle β). Is output to the pointer moving unit 23. The pointer moving unit 23 receives new angle information from the pointer moving unit 23, reads the angle α from the storage unit 102, and points to the application candidate based on the angle β and the angle α indicated by the new angle information. Move.

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the movement of the pointer in the processing of the modification example of the application candidate processing unit 14. As shown by the right arrow in FIG. 14, the pointer moving unit 23 compares the angle β and the angle α indicated by the new angle information, and when the angle β> the angle α (the user sets the posture of the mobile terminal 1 vertically). When the screen direction is changed), the pointer pointing to the application candidate is moved to the application candidate in the lower direction of the screen at a predetermined speed. In the example of FIG. 14, the pointer moves in the order of (a) Web → (b) Dictionary → (c) Wisdom bag → (d) Image → (a) Web →. On the other hand, as indicated by the left arrow in FIG. 14, the pointer moving unit 23 indicates an application candidate when the angle β <the angle α (when the user changes the orientation of the mobile terminal 1 to the horizontal plane r). Is moved at a predetermined speed to an application candidate in the upward direction of the screen. In the example of FIG. 14, the pointer moves in the order of (d) image → (c) wisdom bag → (b) dictionary → (a) Web → (d) image →. The pointer moving unit 23 may change the moving speed of the pointer according to the difference between the angle β and the angle α. For example, the pointer moving unit 23 moves the pointer at a high speed when the difference is larger than a predetermined value.

Then, when the user designates one application candidate while looking at the application candidate indicated by the pointer, if the posture of the mobile terminal 1 is returned to the vicinity of the original angle α, the pointer moving unit 23 causes the angle β to be the angle α ±. It is determined that it is within the range of z, and the movement of the pointer is stopped.

Returning to FIG. 3, when the user designates one application candidate, stops the pointer according to the position, and shakes the mobile terminal 1, the application selection unit 24 inputs vibration information from the vibration detection unit 11. When it is determined that the data indicated by the vibration information is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the pointer moving unit 23 selects the application candidate indicated by the pointer as one application among the plurality of application candidates. Then, the application selection unit 24 outputs the parameters and the name of the selected application to the application execution unit 15.

Thus, according to the modification example of the application candidate processing unit 14, when a plurality of application candidates are displayed on the screen, one application candidate among the plurality of application candidates is selected according to the attitude of the mobile terminal 1. The pointer shown is moved, and the user shakes the mobile terminal 1 to select one application corresponding to the position of the pointer. Thereby, since the user does not need to tap the touch panel, a desired application candidate can be designated by a simple operation.

(Modification of application selector)
Next, a modification of the application selection unit 22 shown in FIG. 2 will be described. In this modification of the application selection unit 22, one application candidate among a plurality of application candidates related to a parameter is automatically selected by a predetermined process instead of being selected by a user operation.

As described above, the application selection unit 22 shown in FIG. 2 selects an application when the user taps and designates one application candidate among a plurality of application candidates. According to the application selection unit 22 illustrated in FIG. 2, the user can specify a desired application candidate among a plurality of application candidates displayed on the screen.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an application candidate attribute DB used by a modification of the application selection unit 22. This application candidate attribute DB is a DB attached to the application candidate list DB 130 shown in FIG. 4, and includes application candidates and application candidate attributes. As application candidates, “Web search”, “dictionary search”, “wisdom bag search”, “image search”, and the like are stored in the application candidate attribute DB. Application candidates correspond to application candidates in the application candidate list DB 130 shown in FIG. In addition, as an attribute of the application candidate, for example, a word included in a sentence such as a function description of the application candidate is stored.

Note that the application candidate attribute DB is newly registered, deleted, modified, and the like by a user operation on the mobile terminal 1. The application candidate attribute registration unit not shown in FIG. 2 registers, deletes, modifies, etc. application candidates and their attributes in accordance with user operations. Further, the application candidate attribute DB may be newly registered, deleted, modified, etc. based on information acquired from the Internet. In this case, the application candidate attribute registration unit not shown in FIG. 2 reads application candidates from the application candidate list DB 130, accesses the Internet via the communication unit 104 shown in FIG. 1, and explains the application candidates. It is also possible to acquire information, extract attributes (for example, words) that characterize application candidates from the information, and store them in the application candidate attribute DB.

The modification example of the application selection unit 22 reads the attribute of the application candidate corresponding to the plurality of application candidates displayed on the display unit 109 from the application candidate attribute DB. Moreover, the modification of the application selection part 22 extracts the word of parameter itself as a parameter attribute. In addition, the modification of the application selection part 22 accesses the internet via the communication part 104 shown in FIG. 1, acquires the information explaining the parameter, and extracts the attribute (for example, word) characterizing the parameter from the information You may make it do.

The modification of the application selection unit 22 accesses the Internet via the communication unit 104 shown in FIG. 1, and the attribute of the application candidate and the attribute of the parameter are simultaneously set for each application candidate among the plurality of application candidates. The number of appearing Web pages (A) is calculated, the number of Web pages (B) where the attribute of the application candidate appears is calculated, and the number of Web pages (C) where the attribute of the parameter appears.

A modification of the application selection unit 22 calculates A / (B + C), thereby calculating the word co-occurrence, that is, the degree of association between the parameter attribute and the application candidate attribute (between the parameter and the application candidate). Relevance). The modification of the application selection unit 22 obtains the word co-occurrence degree for each application candidate, and then selects the application candidate having the largest word co-occurrence degree as one application among the plurality of application candidates.

As described above, according to the modification of the application selection unit 22, the degree of association between a parameter and a plurality of application candidates is obtained for each application candidate, and the application candidate having the highest degree of association is selected. Thereby, the user does not need to perform an operation of designating a desired application candidate among the plurality of application candidates displayed on the screen, and thus the operation load on the user can be reduced. Moreover, in the modification of the application selection part 22, the search application specialized for the specific objectives, such as goods search and a person name search, can be selected automatically according to a parameter.

Note that a modification of the application selection unit 22 automatically selects one application from a plurality of application candidates by learning past selection results without using the degree of association between parameters and application candidates. May be. Specifically, in the modification of the application selection unit 22, a log indicating the association between a parameter and an application selected for the parameter is stored in the storage unit 102, and one application is selected from a plurality of application candidates. In this case, the log is read from the storage unit 102, and the application candidate having the largest number of associations with the parameter is selected as one application among the plurality of application candidates.

[Handling of mobile devices]
Next, the process of the portable terminal 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described in detail. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing processing by the application selection program 121. When the user's finger touches the touch panel of the mobile terminal 1, the designation information detection unit 12 of the mobile terminal 1 inputs contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the panel contact detection unit 10 and stores the input contact information. 102 (step S1).

When the user shakes the mobile terminal 1, the designation information detection unit 12 inputs vibration information (data indicating the magnitude of vibration) from the vibration detection unit 11, and determines the presence or absence of vibration based on the vibration information data ( Step S2). If the designation information detection unit 12 determines that there is vibration in step S2 (step S2: Y), the designation information detection unit 12 reads the contact information from the storage unit 102, and uses the information displayed in the area indicated by the contact position as the designation information. Detect (step S3). On the other hand, when it is determined in step S2 that there is no vibration (step S2: N), the designation information detection unit 12 proceeds to step S1.

The designated information analyzing unit 13 analyzes the designated information detected in step S3 by the designated information detecting unit 12 by morphological analysis or the like, and specifies parameters included in the designated information (step S4). And the designation | designated information analysis part 13 determines whether there are a plurality of parameters (step S5), and when it determines with one parameter (step S5: N), it transfers to step S8 and a parameter is. If it is determined that there are a plurality of parameters (step S5: Y), a plurality of parameters are displayed on the display unit 109 (step S6), and one parameter among the plurality of parameters is designated by a user operation. Then, when the user's finger touches the touch panel of the mobile terminal 1 by the user's operation, the designated information analysis unit 13 inputs contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the panel contact detection unit 10, and the contact position indicates One parameter displayed in the area is specified (step S7). Note that the designation information analysis unit 13 may specify two or more parameters by a user operation.

The application candidate processing unit 14 analyzes the parameter classification specified in step S4 or step S7 by the designation information analysis unit 13, and specifies the parameter classification (step S8). Specifically, the application candidate processing unit 14 determines whether the parameter is a word, whether the parameter is a file name, whether the parameter is a latitude and longitude at a point on the map, and the like. By analyzing the parameters, the parameter classification is specified.

The application candidate processing unit 14 reads out a plurality of application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification from the application candidate list DB 130, displays them on the display unit 109 (step S9), and selects one of the plurality of application candidates by a user operation. Specify one application candidate. Then, the application candidate processing unit 14 inputs contact information (contact position and presence of contact) from the panel contact detection unit 10 when the user taps a desired application candidate part by the user's operation, and the region indicated by the contact position Is selected as one application among a plurality of application candidates (step S10).

The application execution unit 15 executes the application selected in step S10 by the application candidate processing unit 14 using the parameters specified in step S4 or step S7 by the designation information analysis unit 13 as input information (step S11).

(Processing of parameter classification specifying unit in application candidate processing unit)
Next, the process of step S8 shown in FIG. 6 (process for specifying parameter classification) will be described. The process of step S8 is performed by the parameter classification specifying unit 20 of the application candidate processing unit 14. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing of the parameter classification specifying unit 20 in the application candidate processing unit 14.

The parameter classification specifying unit 20 of the application candidate processing unit 14 reads out the parameter classification from the application candidate list DB 130, and analyzes which classification the input parameter belongs to (step S21). Steps S22 to S32 described later are set based on the parameter classification read from the application candidate list DB.

If the parameter classification specifying unit 20 determines that the parameter is a word, the parameter classification specifying unit 20 determines whether the parameter (word) is “camera” (step S22). If the parameter is “camera”, the parameter classification is “word”. / Camera "(step S23). If the parameter classification specifying unit 20 determines that the parameter is a word, the parameter classification specifying unit 20 determines whether the parameter is “barcode” (step S24). If the parameter is “barcode”, the parameter classification is “ "Word / barcode" is specified (step S25). As described above, the parameter classification specifying unit 20 is configured to use predetermined parameters (for example, camera, barcode, etc.) such as “word / camera” and “word / barcode” stored as parameter classifications in the application candidate list DB 130. ) And the classifications registered as words are determined in step S22 and step S24. Then, if the parameter is other than the predetermined parameter determined in step S22, step S24, etc., the parameter classification specifying unit 20 specifies the parameter classification as “word” (step S26).

On the other hand, if the parameter classification specifying unit 20 determines that the parameter includes a file name, it determines whether or not the extension of the parameter (file name) is “txt” (step S27). The parameter classification is specified as “text file / txt” (step S28). If the parameter classification specifying unit 20 determines that the parameter is a file name, the parameter classification specifying unit 20 determines whether the extension of the parameter is “bmp” (step S29). If the parameter is “bmp”, the parameter classification is determined. Is specified as “image file / bmp” (step S30). As described above, the parameter classification specifying unit 20 stores predetermined parameters such as “text file / txt”, “image file / bmp”, “moving image file / mpeg” stored as parameter classifications in the application candidate list DB 130. For the classification registered as a file (file format) together with (for example, txt, bmp, mpeg which are file name extensions), the determination in step S27, step S29, etc. is performed. Then, if the parameter is other than the predetermined parameter determined in step S27, step S29, etc., the parameter classification specifying unit 20 specifies the parameter classification as “file” (step S31).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the parameter is composed of the latitude and longitude at the point on the map, the parameter classification specifying unit 20 specifies the parameter classification as “map / point” (step S32).

(Processing of Application Candidate Display Processing Unit in Application Candidate Processing Unit)
Next, the processing in step S9 shown in FIG. 6 (application candidate reading / display processing) will be described. The process in step S9 is performed by the application candidate display processing unit 21 of the application candidate processing unit 14. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing processing of the application candidate display processing unit 21 in the application candidate processing unit 14.

Application candidate display processing unit 21 of application candidate processing unit 14 reads application candidates corresponding to the parameter classification from application candidate list DB 130 (step S41). For example, when the parameter classification is “word”, the application candidate display processing unit 21 searches the application candidate list DB 130 using the parameter classification “word” as a key, and the application candidate corresponding to the parameter classification “word”. “Web search” “dictionary search” “wisdom bag search” “image search” are read out.

The application candidate display processing unit 21 displays the names of the plurality of application candidates read out in step S41 on the display unit 109 (step S42), and designates one application candidate among the plurality of application candidates by a user operation. Let

Next, as shown in FIG. 9B, the user shakes the mobile terminal 1 to vibrate. Then, the designation information detection unit 12 inputs the vibration information from the vibration detection unit 11, determines the presence of vibration based on the vibration information data, reads the contact information from the storage unit 102, and displays it in the area indicating the contact position. Information "protocol" is detected as specified information. Then, the designation information analysis unit 13 identifies one parameter “protocol” from the designation information “protocol”, and the application candidate processing unit 14 identifies the classification of the parameter “protocol” as “word” from the storage device 103. A plurality of application candidates “Web search”, “dictionary search”, “wisdom bag search”, and “image search” corresponding to the parameter classification “word” are read and displayed on the display unit 109.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9C, the user selects one application candidate “Web search” among a plurality of application candidates “Web search”, “dictionary search”, “wisdom bag search”, and “image search”. Tap. Then, the application candidate processing unit 14 inputs from the panel contact detection unit 10 the contact position and the presence of contact represented by the coordinate area of the tapped position as contact information, and the application “Web search” based on the contact position. Select.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9D, the application execution unit 15 executes the application “Web search” selected by the application candidate processing unit 14 using the parameter “protocol” as input information. As a result, the result of “Web search” using “protocol” as a search term is displayed on the display unit 109 of the mobile terminal 1.

[Specific example 2 of screen display and operation]
Next, the user designates a predetermined area of the text sentence displayed on the screen, and the word “Internet”, “standardization”, “communication protocol”, and “protocol” included in the predetermined area “1” A specific example 2 in which “protocol” is designated as a search term and the mobile terminal 1 performs a Web search using the search term will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining screen display and operation when one search term “protocol” is designated from among a plurality of search terms “Internet”, “standardization”, “communication protocol”, and “protocol”.
