Description

携帯装置、携帯装置の制御方法及びサーバ装置Portable device, method for controlling portable device, and server device
　本発明は、近接無線通信を利用して外部装置と通信する携帯装置、携帯装置の制御方法及びサーバ装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a portable device that communicates with an external device using proximity wireless communication, a method for controlling the portable device, and a server device.
　従来、ＲＦＩＤ（Ｒａｄｉｏ　Ｆｒｅｑｕｅｎｃｙ　ＩＤｅｎｔｉｆｉｃａｔｉｏｎ）などを用いて機器間で近接無線通信を行う技術が提案されている。この技術では、例えば、識別（ＩＤ）情報等を保持するメモリ、近接無線通信機能を搭載した集積回路、及びループアンテナを一体化した電子タグを有するＩＣカードなどの外部装置と、ＩＣカードの電子タグと非接触で近接無線通信を行って、電子タグの情報を読み取ったり、電子タグに情報を書き込んだりするリーダ／ライタ装置とが用いられる。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, techniques for performing close proximity wireless communication between devices using RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) have been proposed. In this technology, for example, an external device such as an IC card having an electronic tag integrated with a memory that holds identification (ID) information, an integrated circuit equipped with a proximity wireless communication function, and a loop antenna, and an electronic device of the IC card A reader / writer device that performs proximity wireless communication without contact with a tag to read information on the electronic tag or write information on the electronic tag is used.
　通常は、例えばＩＣカードなどの外部装置には１個の電子タグが設けられ、リーダ／ライタ装置によって、当該１個の電子タグに対応するアプリケーションが実行されるようになっている。したがって、複数のアプリケーションを実行したい場合には、アプリケーションごとに、外部装置を準備する必要があるため、煩雑になる。そこで、例えば、特許文献１では、１枚のＩＣカードに複数の電子タグを設け、複数のアプリケーションを切り替えられるようにしている。これによって、複数のＩＣカード等の外部装置を備える必要がなくなり、利便性を高めることができる。 Usually, an external device such as an IC card is provided with one electronic tag, and an application corresponding to the single electronic tag is executed by the reader / writer device. Therefore, when it is desired to execute a plurality of applications, it is necessary to prepare an external device for each application, which is complicated. Therefore, for example, in Patent Document 1, a plurality of electronic tags are provided on one IC card so that a plurality of applications can be switched. As a result, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of external devices such as IC cards, and convenience can be improved.

Of course, the position where the operation panel 206 is disposed is not limited to the upper part of the external device 2. It may be anywhere as long as it is not difficult for the user to operate. The CPU 203 controls the overall operation of the external device 2 such as controlling a display screen displayed on the display unit of the operation panel 206 in response to an operation on the operation button of the operation panel 206.
　図３に示されるように、家電タグ２０１，２０２は、互いに並んで配設され、操作パネル２０６の直下に埋め込まれている。もちろん、家電タグ２０１，２０２を配設する位置は、操作パネル２０６の直下に限られない。ユーザが携帯端末１を近接させにくい位置でなければどこでもよい。そして、図５に示されるように、携帯端末１を外部機器２の家電タグ２０１，２０２に近接させると、近接無線通信により携帯端末１と外部機器２とが通信可能に接続される。なお、図５には、操作パネル２０６の左半部に近接させた携帯端末１（Ｌ）と、操作パネル２０６の右半部に近接させた携帯端末１（Ｒ）とが示されている。 As shown in FIG. 3, the home appliance tags 201 and 202 are arranged side by side and embedded directly below the operation panel 206. Of course, the position where the home appliance tags 201 and 202 are disposed is not limited to a position directly below the operation panel 206. It may be anywhere as long as the user does not place the mobile terminal 1 in close proximity. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the mobile terminal 1 is brought close to the home appliance tags 201 and 202 of the external device 2, the mobile terminal 1 and the external device 2 are communicably connected by proximity wireless communication. Note that FIG. 5 shows the mobile terminal 1 (L) brought close to the left half of the operation panel 206 and the mobile terminal 1 (R) brought close to the right half of the operation panel 206.
　図１に戻り、ループアンテナ１００は、近接無線通信を行うためのアンテナである。近接無線通信部１０１は、ループアンテナ１００を介して近接無線通信を利用して外部機器２と通信する。通信制御部１０２は、ポーリング信号の出力及びポーリング信号に対する応答信号の受信を制御する。通信制御部１０２は、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１及びポーリング部１０２２を含む。 Returning to FIG. 1, the loop antenna 100 is an antenna for performing close proximity wireless communication. The close proximity wireless communication unit 101 communicates with the external device 2 using close proximity wireless communication via the loop antenna 100. The communication control unit 102 controls the output of a polling signal and the reception of a response signal for the polling signal. The communication control unit 102 includes an ID extraction unit 1021 and a polling unit 1022.
　ポーリング部１０２２は、近接無線通信部１０１からポーリング信号を例えば１０ｍｓｅｃの間隔で連続的に出力させる。ポーリング部１０２２は、この実施形態では、外部機器２からのポーリング信号に対する応答信号を受信した後も、連続してポーリング信号を出力する。ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、ポーリング部１０２２により出力されたポーリング信号に対する応答信号に含まれる識別情報（ＩＤ情報）を抽出する。 The polling unit 1022 continuously outputs a polling signal from the close proximity wireless communication unit 101 at intervals of 10 msec, for example. In this embodiment, the polling unit 1022 continuously outputs a polling signal even after receiving a response signal to the polling signal from the external device 2. The ID extraction unit 1021 extracts identification information (ID information) included in the response signal to the polling signal output by the polling unit 1022.
　タイマー部１０３は、経過時間をカウントする。タイマー部１０３がカウントする経過時間は、カウント値がリセットされた時点からの経過時間になる。タイマー部１０３は、カウントした経過時間を通信制御部１０２に出力する。通信制御部１０２は、タイマー部１０３によりカウントされた経過時間が所定時間に達すると、タイムアウトと判定し、ポーリング部１０２２によるポーリング信号の出力を停止させる。 Timer section 103 counts elapsed time. The elapsed time counted by the timer unit 103 is an elapsed time from the time when the count value is reset. The timer unit 103 outputs the counted elapsed time to the communication control unit 102. When the elapsed time counted by the timer unit 103 reaches a predetermined time, the communication control unit 102 determines that a timeout has occurred and stops the polling signal output by the polling unit 1022.
　システム制御部１０４は、携帯端末１の全体を制御する。記憶部１０５は、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１により抽出されたポーリング信号に対する応答結果を保存する。判定部１０７は、この実施形態では、記憶部１０５に保存されているポーリング信号に対する応答結果（つまり携帯端末１と外部機器２との通信状態）のうち、最近のＮ回（この実施形態ではＮ＝３）のポーリング信号に対する応答結果を抽出する。判定部１０７は、抽出した応答結果をＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８及びＵＩ生成部１０９に出力する。 The system control unit 104 controls the entire mobile terminal 1. The storage unit 105 stores a response result for the polling signal extracted by the ID extraction unit 1021. In this embodiment, the determination unit 107 is the latest N times (N in this embodiment) of the response results to the polling signal stored in the storage unit 105 (that is, the communication state between the mobile terminal 1 and the external device 2). = 3) The response result to the polling signal is extracted. The determination unit 107 outputs the extracted response result to the UI table storage unit 108 and the UI generation unit 109.
　ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８は、ポーリング信号に対する種々の応答結果に対応して、表示部１１０に表示する種々の表示画面（ＵＩ）をＵＩテーブルとして保存している。ＵＩ生成部１０９は、判定部１０７から出力された応答結果に対応する表示画面を表示部１１０に表示させる。表示部１１０は、例えば液晶表示パネルを含み、ＵＩ生成部１０９からの制御に基づき表示画面（ＵＩ）を表示する。 The UI table storage unit 108 stores various display screens (UIs) displayed on the display unit 110 as UI tables in response to various response results to polling signals. The UI generation unit 109 causes the display unit 110 to display a display screen corresponding to the response result output from the determination unit 107. The display unit 110 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, and displays a display screen (UI) based on control from the UI generation unit 109.

　図６は、第１実施形態の携帯端末の動作を示すフローチャートである。図７は、第１実施形態における、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果及び表示部に表示される表示画面を示す図である。図８は、第１実施形態のＵＩテーブル記憶部に保存されているＵＩテーブルを示す図である。図７において、ポーリング応答における識別情報ＩＤ１は、ポーリング信号に対する家電タグ２０１からの応答信号に含まれる識別情報であり、識別情報ＩＤ２は、ポーリング信号に対する家電タグ２０２からの応答信号に含まれる識別情報である。なお、この第１実施形態では、携帯端末１は、アンチコリジョン機能を有する。図６～図８を用いて、携帯端末１の動作が説明される。 FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal according to the first embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a response result to the polling signal and a display screen displayed on the display unit in the first embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a UI table stored in the UI table storage unit of the first embodiment. In FIG. 7, identification information ID1 in the polling response is identification information included in the response signal from the home appliance tag 201 with respect to the polling signal, and identification information ID2 is identification information included in the response signal from the home appliance tag 202 with respect to the polling signal. It is. In the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 1 has an anti-collision function. The operation of the mobile terminal 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
　図６において、まず、携帯端末１において本実施形態のアプリケーションが起動されると、ポーリング部１０２２により、ポーリング信号の出力が開始される（ステップＳ１）。続いて、タイマー部１０３は、タイマーのカウント値をリセットする（ステップＳ２）。つまり、タイマー部１０３におけるカウント値は、ポーリング信号の出力開始時点からの経過時間になる。次いで、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、ポーリング信号に対する家電タグからの応答信号を受信したか否かを判定する（ステップＳ３）。応答信号を受信していなければ（ステップＳ３でＮＯ）、タイマー部１０３によるカウント値がタイムアウトになったか否かを判定する（ステップＳ４）。 In FIG. 6, first, when the application of the present embodiment is activated in the mobile terminal 1, the polling unit 1022 starts outputting a polling signal (step S1). Subsequently, the timer unit 103 resets the count value of the timer (step S2). That is, the count value in the timer unit 103 is an elapsed time from the start of polling signal output. Next, the ID extraction unit 1021 determines whether or not a response signal from the home appliance tag with respect to the polling signal has been received (step S3). If no response signal has been received (NO in step S3), it is determined whether the count value by the timer unit 103 has timed out (step S4).
　タイムアウトになっていれば（ステップＳ４でＹＥＳ）、通信制御部１０２は、その旨をシステム制御部１０４に通知し、システム制御部１０４は、表示部１１０にエラーの表示画面を出力させる（ステップＳ５）。ステップＳ４で、タイムアウトになっていなければ（ステップＳ４でＮＯ）、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果として応答なしを記憶部１０５に記憶させて（ステップＳ５）、ステップＳ１に戻る。 If time-out has occurred (YES in step S4), the communication control unit 102 notifies the system control unit 104 to that effect, and the system control unit 104 causes the display unit 110 to output an error display screen (step S5). ). If the time-out has not occurred in step S4 (NO in step S4), the ID extracting unit 1021 stores “no response” in the storage unit 105 as a response result to the polling signal (step S5), and returns to step S1.
　一方、ステップＳ３において、家電タグからポーリング信号に対する応答信号を受信していれば（ステップＳ３でＹＥＳ）、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、ポーリング信号に対する応答信号に含まれている応答結果を抽出し（ステップＳ７）、抽出した応答結果を記憶部１０５に記憶させる（ステップＳ８）。 On the other hand, if a response signal to the polling signal is received from the home appliance tag in step S3 (YES in step S3), the ID extraction unit 1021 extracts the response result included in the response signal to the polling signal (step S3). S7) The extracted response result is stored in the storage unit 105 (step S8).
　次いで、判定部１０７は、記憶部１０５から、最近の応答結果をＮ回分（この実施形態ではＮ＝３）抽出する（ステップＳ９）。ＵＩ生成部１０９は、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に保存されているＵＩテーブルを用いて、判定部１０７により抽出されたＮ個の応答結果に対応するＵＩを表示部１１０に表示して（ステップＳ１０）、この動作を終了する。 Next, the determination unit 107 extracts N recent response results (N = 3 in this embodiment) from the storage unit 105 (step S9). The UI generation unit 109 displays the UI corresponding to the N response results extracted by the determination unit 107 on the display unit 110 using the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108 (step S10). This operation is finished.
　例えば、図７において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ４に対する応答は、順に、「応答なし」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」である。最初の３回のポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ３の応答結果は、「応答なし」：１回、「識別情報ＩＤ１」：２回である。この応答結果は、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に記憶されている図８に示されるＵＩテーブルにおいて、ＵＩの最上欄（操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域）に対応する応答結果の２段目に対応する。したがって、判定部１０７は、家電タグ２０２の識別情報ＩＤ２に比べて家電タグ２０１の識別情報ＩＤ１を主に受信する（つまり家電タグ２０２の応答に比べて家電タグ２０１の応答の方がより強い）第１通信状態であると判定する。その結果、表示部１１０には、図７に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域が表示される。 For example, in FIG. 7, responses to polling signals P1 to P4 are “no response”, “identification information ID1”, “identification information ID1”, and “identification information ID1” in this order. The response results of the first three polling signals P1 to P3 are “no response”: once and “identification information ID1”: twice. This response result corresponds to the second level of the response result corresponding to the uppermost column of the UI (the area including the left end of the operation panel 206) in the UI table shown in FIG. 8 stored in the UI table storage unit 108. . Therefore, the determination unit 107 mainly receives the identification information ID1 of the home appliance tag 201 compared to the identification information ID2 of the home appliance tag 202 (that is, the response of the home appliance tag 201 is stronger than the response of the home appliance tag 202). It determines with it being a 1st communication state. As a result, an area including the left end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110 as shown in FIG.
　また、次の３回のポーリング信号Ｐ２～Ｐ４の応答結果は、「識別情報ＩＤ１」：３回である。この応答結果は、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に記憶されている図８に示されるＵＩテーブルにおいて、ＵＩの最上欄（操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域）に対応する応答結果の１段目に対応する。したがって、表示部１１０には、図７に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域が表示される。 Also, the response results of the next three polling signals P2 to P4 are “identification information ID1”: 3 times. This response result corresponds to the first level of the response result corresponding to the uppermost column of the UI (the area including the left end of the operation panel 206) in the UI table shown in FIG. 8 stored in the UI table storage unit 108. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the display unit 110 displays an area including the left end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2.
　また、図７において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１６に対する応答は、順に、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「応答なし」、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。上述のように、この第１実施形態では、携帯端末１はアンチコリジョン機能を有する。したがって、１回のポーリング信号の出力に対して、複数の家電タグ２０１，２０２からの応答が識別可能になっている。 In FIG. 7, responses to polling signals P11 to P16 are “identification information ID1 and ID2”, “identification information ID1”, “identification information ID1 and ID2”, “no response”, and “identification information ID1 and ID2” in this order. "Identification information ID2". As described above, in the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 1 has an anti-collision function. Therefore, the responses from the plurality of home appliance tags 201 and 202 can be identified with respect to the output of one polling signal.
　例えば、３回のポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１３に対する応答は、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」が２回、「識別情報ＩＤ１」が１回である。この応答結果は、図８に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に記憶されているＵＩテーブルにおいて、ＵＩの上から２番目の欄（操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域）に対応する応答結果の２段目に対応する。したがって、判定部１０７は、家電タグ２０１の識別情報ＩＤ１及び家電タグ２０２の識別情報ＩＤ２の両方を受信する（つまり家電タグ２０１及び家電タグ２０２の応答がほぼ同等の強さである）第３通信状態であると判定する。その結果、表示部１１０には、図７に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域が表示される。 For example, the responses to the three polling signals P11 to P13 are “identification information ID1 and ID2” twice and “identification information ID1” once. This response result is a two-step response result corresponding to the second column from the top of the UI (an area including the center of the operation panel 206) in the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108 shown in FIG. Corresponds to the eyes. Therefore, the determination unit 107 receives both the identification information ID1 of the home appliance tag 201 and the identification information ID2 of the home appliance tag 202 (that is, the responses of the home appliance tag 201 and the home appliance tag 202 have substantially the same strength). It is determined that the state is present. As a result, an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110 as shown in FIG.
　また、例えば、３回のポーリング信号Ｐ１３～Ｐ１５に対する応答は、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」が２回、「応答なし」が１回である。この応答結果は、図８に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に記憶されているＵＩテーブルにおいて、ＵＩの上から２番目の欄（操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域）に対応する応答結果の３段目に対応する。したがって、表示部１１０には、図７に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域が表示される。 Also, for example, the responses to the three polling signals P13 to P15 are “identification information ID1 and ID2” twice and “no response” once. This response result is a three-stage response result corresponding to the second column from the top of the UI (an area including the center of the operation panel 206) in the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108 shown in FIG. Corresponds to the eyes. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110.
　また、図７において、ポーリング信号Ｐ２１～Ｐ２３に対する応答は、順に、「識別情報ＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。この応答結果は、図８に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に記憶されているＵＩテーブルにおいて、ＵＩの上から３番目の欄（操作パネル２０６の右端を含む領域）に対応する応答結果の１段目に対応する。したがって、判定部１０７は、家電タグ２０１の識別情報ＩＤ１に比べて家電タグ２０２の識別情報ＩＤ２を主に受信する（つまり家電タグ２０１の応答の信号強度に比べて家電タグ２０２の応答の信号強度の方がより強い）第２通信状態であると判定する。その結果、表示部１１０には、図７に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の右端を含む領域が表示される。 In FIG. 7, the responses to the polling signals P21 to P23 are “identification information ID2”, “identification information ID2”, and “identification information ID2” in this order. This response result is one level of the response result corresponding to the third column from the top of the UI (the area including the right end of the operation panel 206) in the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108 shown in FIG. Corresponds to the eyes. Therefore, the determination unit 107 mainly receives the identification information ID2 of the home appliance tag 202 compared to the identification information ID1 of the home appliance tag 201 (that is, the signal strength of the response of the home appliance tag 202 compared to the signal strength of the response of the home appliance tag 201). It is determined that the second communication state is stronger. As a result, an area including the right end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110 as shown in FIG.
　図７において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ４に対する応答結果は、携帯端末１が外部機器２の左方に配設された家電タグ２０１（図３）に近接している状態、つまり携帯端末１が図５に示される携帯端末１（Ｌ）のように外部機器２に近接している状態に対応する。したがって、判定部１０７は、近接無線通信部１０１と家電タグ２０１とが近接無線通信を行う第１通信状態と判定する。ここで、図８に示されるように、ＩＤ情報「ＩＤ１」が２回以上（抽出頻度の第３閾値以上の一例に相当）であって、かつ、ＩＤ情報「ＩＤ２」が０回（抽出頻度の第２閾値未満の一例に相当）のときに、判定部１０７により第１通信状態と判定される。なお、この実施形態では、抽出頻度は、単位ポーリング回数（この実施形態ではＮ＝３）当りの抽出回数としている。 In FIG. 7, the response results to the polling signals P1 to P4 indicate that the portable terminal 1 is close to the home appliance tag 201 (FIG. 3) disposed on the left side of the external device 2, that is, the portable terminal 1 is in FIG. This corresponds to a state in which the mobile terminal 1 (L) shown in FIG. Therefore, the determination unit 107 determines the first communication state in which the proximity wireless communication unit 101 and the home appliance tag 201 perform proximity wireless communication. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the ID information “ID1” is twice or more (corresponding to an example of the third threshold or more of the extraction frequency), and the ID information “ID2” is zero (extraction frequency). (Corresponding to an example less than the second threshold value), the determination unit 107 determines the first communication state. In this embodiment, the extraction frequency is the number of extractions per unit polling count (N = 3 in this embodiment).
　また、図７において、ポーリング信号Ｐ２１～Ｐ２３に対する応答結果は、携帯端末１が外部機器２の右方に配設された家電タグ２０２（図３）に近接している状態、つまり携帯端末１が図５に示される携帯端末１（Ｒ）のように外部機器２に近接している状態に対応する。したがって、判定部１０７は、近接無線通信部１０１と家電タグ２０２とが近接無線通信を行う第２通信状態と判定する。ここで、図８に示されるように、ＩＤ情報「ＩＤ１」が０回（抽出頻度の第１閾値未満の一例に相当）であって、かつ、ＩＤ情報「ＩＤ２」が２回以上（抽出頻度の第４閾値以上の一例に相当）のときに、判定部１０７により第２通信状態と判定される。 In FIG. 7, the response results to the polling signals P21 to P23 indicate that the portable terminal 1 is in proximity to the home appliance tag 202 (FIG. 3) disposed on the right side of the external device 2, that is, the portable terminal 1 This corresponds to a state in which the mobile terminal 1 (R) shown in FIG. Therefore, the determination unit 107 determines that the close proximity wireless communication unit 101 and the home appliance tag 202 are in the second communication state in which close proximity wireless communication is performed. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the ID information “ID1” is 0 times (corresponding to an example less than the first threshold of extraction frequency), and the ID information “ID2” is 2 times or more (extraction frequency). The second communication state is determined by the determination unit 107.
　さらに、図７において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１６に対する応答結果は、携帯端末１が家電タグ２０１と家電タグ２０２との中間位置に近接している状態に対応する。したがって、判定部１０７は、近接無線通信部１０１と家電タグ２０１，２０２とが近接無線通信を行う第３通信状態と判定する。ここで、図８に示されるように、ＩＤ情報「ＩＤ１＆ＩＤ２」が２回以上（抽出頻度の第１閾値以上及び第２閾値以上の一例に相当）のときに、判定部１０７により第３通信状態と判定される。 Further, in FIG. 7, the response results to the polling signals P11 to P16 correspond to a state in which the mobile terminal 1 is close to an intermediate position between the home appliance tag 201 and the home appliance tag 202. Therefore, the determination unit 107 determines that the proximity wireless communication unit 101 and the home appliance tags 201 and 202 are in the third communication state in which the proximity wireless communication is performed. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, when the ID information “ID1 & ID2” is equal to or more than twice (corresponding to an example of an extraction frequency of the first threshold or higher and the second threshold or higher), the determination unit 107 performs the third communication state. It is determined.
　このように、第１実施形態では、ＲＦＩＤリーダ／ライタを備える携帯端末１を、ＲＦＩＤを備える外部機器２に近接させて、外部機器２を制御するための表示画面を携帯端末１の表示部１１０に表示させている。したがって、第１実施形態によれば、外部機器２のユーザインターフェースを向上することができる。また、第１実施形態では、ポーリング信号に対するＮ回の応答結果を用いている。したがって、１回のポーリング信号に対する応答信号に含まれる識別情報を用いる場合に比べて、通信状態をより確実に判定することができる。 As described above, in the first embodiment, the display unit 110 of the mobile terminal 1 displays a display screen for controlling the external device 2 by bringing the mobile terminal 1 including the RFID reader / writer close to the external device 2 including the RFID. Is displayed. Therefore, according to the first embodiment, the user interface of the external device 2 can be improved. In the first embodiment, N response results for the polling signal are used. Therefore, the communication state can be more reliably determined as compared with the case where the identification information included in the response signal for one polling signal is used.
　また、第１実施形態では、判定部１０７は、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果（つまり携帯端末１と外部機器２との通信状態）に基づき、３種類の応答結果（通信状態）を判定する。すなわち、第１実施形態では、判定部１０７は、家電タグ２０１の識別情報ＩＤ１を主に受信する（つまり家電タグ２０２に比べて家電タグ２０１からの応答がより強い）第１通信状態と、家電タグ２０２の識別情報ＩＤ２を主に受信する（つまり家電タグ２０１に比べて家電タグ２０２からの応答がより強い）第２通信状態と、家電タグ２０１，２０２の識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２の両方を受信する（つまり家電タグ２０１及び家電タグ２０２の応答がほぼ同等の強さである）第３通信状態との３種類の通信状態を判定する。そして、ＵＩ生成部１０９は、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に保存されているＵＩテーブルを用いて、３種類の通信状態に対応するＵＩを表示部１１０に表示する。したがって、第１実施形態によれば、２個の家電タグ２０１，２０２より多い３種類のＵＩを表示部１１０に表示することが可能になっている。 In the first embodiment, the determination unit 107 determines three types of response results (communication status) based on the response result to the polling signal (that is, the communication status between the mobile terminal 1 and the external device 2). That is, in the first embodiment, the determination unit 107 mainly receives the identification information ID1 of the home appliance tag 201 (that is, the response from the home appliance tag 201 is stronger than that of the home appliance tag 202), and the home appliance Receives both identification information ID2 and ID2 of the second communication state that mainly receives the identification information ID2 of the tag 202 (that is, the response from the household appliance tag 202 is stronger than that of the household appliance tag 201). (That is, the responses of the home appliance tag 201 and the home appliance tag 202 have substantially the same strength) and the third communication state are determined. Then, the UI generation unit 109 displays UIs corresponding to three types of communication states on the display unit 110 using the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108. Therefore, according to the first embodiment, three types of UI more than the two home appliance tags 201 and 202 can be displayed on the display unit 110.
　なお、上記第１実施形態では、外部機器２を洗濯機としているが、本発明の一局面は、これに限られない。上述のように、他の家電機器や住設機器などを外部機器２としてもよい。例えば外部機器２をテレビジョンとする場合には、図８に示されるように、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８にテレビジョンに対応するＵＩを設定しておけばよい。この点は、後述の他の実施形態についても同様である。 In the first embodiment, the external device 2 is a washing machine, but one aspect of the present invention is not limited to this. As described above, other home appliances and housing equipment may be used as the external device 2. For example, when the external device 2 is a television, a UI corresponding to the television may be set in the UI table storage unit 108 as shown in FIG. This also applies to other embodiments described later.
　また、上記第１実施形態では、外部機器２に配設される操作パネル２０６と、携帯端末１の表示部１１０に表示される操作パネルとは異なるパネルであってもよい。なお、外部機器２は、必ずしも操作パネル２０６を備えなくてもよい。この点は、後述の他の実施の形態でも同様である。 In the first embodiment, the operation panel 206 arranged in the external device 2 and the operation panel displayed on the display unit 110 of the mobile terminal 1 may be different panels. Note that the external device 2 does not necessarily include the operation panel 206. This also applies to other embodiments described later.
　また、上記第１実施形態では、外部機器２からの最近の応答結果がＮ回分抽出され、Ｎ個の応答結果に対応するＵＩが表示部１１０に表示されている。ここで、上記第１実施形態では、Ｎ＝３としているが、本発明の一局面は、これに限られない。例えばＮ＝２でもよく、Ｎ＝４以上の整数でもよく、Ｎは２以上の整数であればよい。この点は、後述の他の実施形態についても同様である。なお、回数をＮ回に定めるのではなく、ポーリングの期間を定めてもよい。この場合、図８のＵＩテーブルのポーリング応答結果は、各ＩＤを検出した回数を示すのではなく、特定期間中のポーリングの回数に対する、各ＩＤを検出した回数の割合を示してもよい。この点も、後述の他の実施の形態でも同様である。 In the first embodiment, the latest response results from the external device 2 are extracted N times, and UIs corresponding to the N response results are displayed on the display unit 110. Here, in the first embodiment, N = 3, but one aspect of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, N = 2 may be sufficient, N = an integer greater than 4 may be sufficient, and N should just be an integer greater than or equal to 2. This also applies to other embodiments described later. The polling period may be determined instead of N times. In this case, the polling response result of the UI table of FIG. 8 may indicate the ratio of the number of times each ID is detected to the number of polls during the specific period, instead of indicating the number of times each ID is detected. This also applies to other embodiments described later.
　また、上記第１実施形態では、第１通信状態と判定されるときは、ＩＤ情報「ＩＤ１」が２回以上（第３閾値以上の一例に相当）とし、第２通信状態と判定されるときは、ＩＤ情報「ＩＤ２」が２回以上（第４閾値以上の一例に相当）とし、第３通信状態と判定されるときは、ＩＤ情報「ＩＤ１＆ＩＤ２」が２回以上（第１閾値以上及び第２閾値以上の一例に相当）として、同じ値（２回）の閾値を用いている。しかし、本発明の一局面は、これに限られず、異なる値の閾値を用いてもよい。 In the first embodiment, when it is determined that the communication state is the first communication state, the ID information “ID1” is set twice or more (corresponding to an example of the third threshold value or more) and the communication state is determined to be the second communication state. ID information “ID2” is twice or more (corresponding to an example of the fourth threshold or more), and when it is determined as the third communication state, the ID information “ID1 & ID2” is two or more times (first threshold or more and the first threshold) The threshold value of the same value (twice) is used as an example of two or more threshold values. However, one aspect of the present invention is not limited to this, and different threshold values may be used.
　例えば、第３通信状態と判定されるときのＩＤ情報「ＩＤ１」の閾値Ｔ１（第１閾値の一例に相当）と、第１通信状態と判定されるときのＩＤ情報「ＩＤ１」の閾値Ｔ３（第３閾値の一例に相当）とを、Ｔ３≦Ｔ１としてもよい。ここで、第２通信状態と判定されるときのＩＤ情報「ＩＤ１」は、例えばＩＤ情報「ＩＤ１」が閾値Ｔ１未満のときに第２通信状態と判定するようにしてもよい。また、例えば、第３通信状態と判定されるときのＩＤ情報「ＩＤ２」の閾値Ｔ２（第２閾値の一例に相当）と、第２通信状態と判定されるときのＩＤ情報「ＩＤ２」の閾値Ｔ４（第４閾値の一例に相当）とを、Ｔ４≦Ｔ２としてもよい。ここで、第１通信状態と判定されるときのＩＤ情報「ＩＤ２」は、例えばＩＤ情報「ＩＤ２」が閾値Ｔ２未満のときに第１通信状態と判定するようにしてもよい。 For example, a threshold value T1 (corresponding to an example of the first threshold value) of the ID information “ID1” when determined as the third communication state, and a threshold value T3 of the ID information “ID1” when determined as the first communication state ( (Corresponding to an example of the third threshold value) may be T3 ≦ T1. Here, the ID information “ID1” when it is determined as the second communication state may be determined as the second communication state when the ID information “ID1” is less than the threshold T1, for example. Further, for example, a threshold T2 (corresponding to an example of a second threshold) of ID information “ID2” when determined as the third communication state, and a threshold of ID information “ID2” when determined as the second communication state T4 (corresponding to an example of the fourth threshold value) may be T4 ≦ T2. Here, the ID information “ID2” when determined as the first communication state may be determined as the first communication state when, for example, the ID information “ID2” is less than the threshold T2.
　例えば、閾値Ｔ３を小さい値にすると、家電タグ２０１を基準として、家電タグ２０２と反対の方向に、第１通信状態と判定される領域が広くなる。例えば、閾値Ｔ１を大きい値にすると、第３通信状態と判定される領域が狭くなる。 For example, when the threshold value T3 is set to a small value, the area determined as the first communication state is widened in the direction opposite to the home appliance tag 202 with the home appliance tag 201 as a reference. For example, when the threshold value T1 is set to a large value, the area determined as the third communication state is narrowed.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating an electrical configuration of the mobile terminal according to the second embodiment. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a response result to a polling signal and a display screen displayed on the display unit in the second embodiment. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a UI table stored in the UI table storage unit according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same elements as in the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described focusing on the differences from the first embodiment.
　図９に示される第２実施形態の携帯端末１ａは、図１に示される第１実施形態の携帯端末１において、通信制御部１０２に代えて通信制御部１０２ａを備え、判定部１０７に代えて判定部１０７ａを備え、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に代えてＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ａを備え、ＵＩ生成部１０９に代えてＵＩ生成部１０９ａを備える。第２実施形態の通信制御部１０２ａは、第１実施形態の通信制御部１０２において、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１に代えて、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１ａを備える。 The mobile terminal 1a of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 9 includes the communication control unit 102a instead of the communication control unit 102 in the mobile terminal 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The determination unit 107 a includes a UI table storage unit 108 a instead of the UI table storage unit 108, and a UI generation unit 109 a instead of the UI generation unit 109. The communication control unit 102a of the second embodiment includes an ID extraction unit 1021a instead of the ID extraction unit 1021 in the communication control unit 102 of the first embodiment.
　本実施形態において、家電タグ２０１が第１電子タグの一例に相当し、家電タグ２０２が第２電子タグの一例に相当し、外部機器２が外部装置の一例に相当し、携帯端末１ａが携帯装置の一例に相当し、近接無線通信部１０１が通信部の一例に相当し、ＵＩ生成部１０９ａが表示制御部の一例に相当する。 In the present embodiment, the home appliance tag 201 corresponds to an example of a first electronic tag, the home appliance tag 202 corresponds to an example of a second electronic tag, the external device 2 corresponds to an example of an external device, and the mobile terminal 1a is portable. The proximity wireless communication unit 101 corresponds to an example of a device, the proximity wireless communication unit 101 corresponds to an example of a communication unit, and the UI generation unit 109a corresponds to an example of a display control unit.
　上記第１実施形態の携帯端末１はアンチコリジョン機能を有していたが、第２実施形態の携帯端末１ａは、アンチコリジョン機能を有しない。したがって、１回のポーリング信号に対して家電タグ２０１，２０２の両方が応答した場合には、両方の応答が混信して、第２実施形態のＩＤ抽出部１０２１ａはいずれのＩＤも抽出できない。その場合には、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１ａは、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果として、記憶部１０５に「混信」と記憶させる。 Although the portable terminal 1 of the first embodiment has an anti-collision function, the portable terminal 1a of the second embodiment does not have an anti-collision function. Therefore, when both home appliance tags 201 and 202 respond to a single polling signal, both responses interfere, and the ID extraction unit 1021a of the second embodiment cannot extract any ID. In this case, the ID extraction unit 1021a stores “interference” in the storage unit 105 as a response result to the polling signal.
　図１０において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ４，Ｐ２１～Ｐ２３に対する応答は、図７に示される第１実施形態と同様である。一方、図１０において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１６に対する応答は、順に、「混信」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「混信」、「応答なし」、「混信」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。 In FIG. 10, responses to polling signals P1 to P4 and P21 to P23 are the same as those in the first embodiment shown in FIG. On the other hand, in FIG. 10, responses to polling signals P11 to P16 are “interference”, “identification information ID1”, “interference”, “no response”, “interference”, and “identification information ID2” in this order.
　したがって、例えば、３回のポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１３に対する応答は、「混信」が２回、「識別情報ＩＤ１」が１回である。この応答結果は、図１１に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ａに記憶されているＵＩテーブルにおいて、ＵＩの上から２番目の欄（操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域）に対応する応答結果の２段目に対応する。したがって、表示部１１０には、図１０に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域が表示される。 Therefore, for example, the response to the three polling signals P11 to P13 is “interference” twice and “identification information ID1” once. This response result is a two-step response result corresponding to the second column (area including the center of the operation panel 206) from the top of the UI in the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108a shown in FIG. Corresponds to the eyes. Accordingly, the display unit 110 displays an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 as shown in FIG.
　また、例えば、３回のポーリング信号Ｐ１３～Ｐ１５に対する応答は、「混信」が２回、「応答なし」が１回である。この応答結果は、図１１に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ａに記憶されているＵＩテーブルにおいて、ＵＩの上から２番目の欄（操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域）に対応する応答結果の３段目に対応する。したがって、表示部１１０には、図１０に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域が表示される。 Also, for example, the response to the three polling signals P13 to P15 is “interference” twice and “no response” once. This response result is a three-step response result corresponding to the second column (area including the center of the operation panel 206) from the top of the UI in the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108a shown in FIG. Corresponds to the eyes. Accordingly, the display unit 110 displays an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 as shown in FIG.
　このように、第２実施形態でも、ＲＦＩＤリーダ／ライタを備える携帯端末１ａを、ＲＦＩＤを備える外部機器２に近接させて、外部機器２を制御するための表示画面を携帯端末１ａの表示部１１０に表示させている。したがって、第２実施形態によれば、第１実施形態と同様に、外部機器２のユーザインターフェースを向上することができる。 As described above, also in the second embodiment, the mobile terminal 1a including the RFID reader / writer is brought close to the external device 2 including the RFID, and a display screen for controlling the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110 of the mobile terminal 1a. Is displayed. Therefore, according to the second embodiment, the user interface of the external device 2 can be improved as in the first embodiment.
　また、第２実施形態では、第１実施形態と同様に、判定部１０７ａは、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果（つまり携帯端末１ａと外部機器２との通信状態）に基づき、３種類の応答結果（通信状態）を判定する。すなわち、第２実施形態では、判定部１０７ａは、家電タグ２０１の識別情報ＩＤ１を主に受信する（つまり家電タグ２０２の応答に比べて家電タグ２０１の応答の方がより強い）第１通信状態と、家電タグ２０２の識別情報ＩＤ２を主に受信する（つまり家電タグ２０１の応答に比べて家電タグ２０２の応答の方がより強い）第２通信状態と、家電タグ２０１，２０２の識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２が混信している（つまり家電タグ２０１及び家電タグ２０２の応答がほぼ同等の強さである）第３通信状態との３種類の通信状態を判定する。そして、ＵＩ生成部１０９ａは、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ａに保存されているＵＩを用いて、３種類の状態に対応するＵＩを表示部１１０に表示する。したがって、第２実施形態によれば、第１実施形態と同様に、２個の家電タグ２０１，２０２より多い３種類のＵＩを表示部１１０に表示することが可能になっている。 Further, in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the determination unit 107a has three types of response results (communication) based on a response result to the polling signal (that is, the communication state between the mobile terminal 1a and the external device 2). Status). That is, in the second embodiment, the determination unit 107a mainly receives the identification information ID1 of the home appliance tag 201 (that is, the response of the home appliance tag 201 is stronger than the response of the home appliance tag 202). And the second communication state that mainly receives the identification information ID2 of the home appliance tag 202 (that is, the response of the home appliance tag 202 is stronger than the response of the home appliance tag 201), and the identification information ID1 of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 And the third communication state in which ID2 is in interference (that is, the responses of the home appliance tag 201 and the home appliance tag 202 have substantially the same strength) are determined. Then, the UI generation unit 109a displays UIs corresponding to the three types of states on the display unit 110 using the UI stored in the UI table storage unit 108a. Therefore, according to the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, three types of UI more than the two home appliance tags 201 and 202 can be displayed on the display unit 110.
　（第３実施形態）
　図１２は、第３実施形態における携帯端末の電気的構成を示すブロック図である。第３実施形態では、第１実施形態と同様の要素に対して、同様の符号が割り当てられている。以下、第１実施形態との相違点を中心に、第３実施形態が説明される。 (Third embodiment)
FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating an electrical configuration of the mobile terminal according to the third embodiment. In 3rd Embodiment, the same code | symbol is assigned with respect to the element similar to 1st Embodiment. Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.
　図１２に示される第３実施形態の携帯端末１ｂは、図１に示される第１実施形態の携帯端末１において、判定部１０７に代えて判定部１０７ｂを備え、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に代えてＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｂを備え、ＵＩ生成部１０９に代えてＵＩ生成部１０９ｂを備え、さらに、電波強度検出部１１２を新たに備える。なお、この第３実施形態の携帯端末１ｂは、第１実施形態と同様に、アンチコリジョン機能を有する。 The mobile terminal 1b of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 12 includes a determination unit 107b instead of the determination unit 107 in the mobile terminal 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. It includes a UI table storage unit 108b, a UI generation unit 109b instead of the UI generation unit 109, and a radio wave intensity detection unit 112. In addition, the portable terminal 1b of this 3rd Embodiment has an anti-collision function similarly to 1st Embodiment.
　電波強度検出部１１２は、近接無線通信部１０１からの信号に基づき、ポーリング信号に対する応答信号に含まれる家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度を検出する。判定部１０７ｂは、電波強度検出部１１２により検出された電波強度と予め設定された閾値とを比較する。判定部１０７ｂは、比較結果をＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｂ及びＵＩ生成部１０９ｂに出力する。ＵＩ生成部１０９ｂは、判定部１０７ｂから出力される判定結果と、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｂに保存されているＵＩテーブルとに基づき、表示部１１０に表示する表示画面（ＵＩ）を生成する。 The radio field intensity detection unit 112 detects the radio field intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 included in the response signal to the polling signal based on the signal from the close proximity wireless communication unit 101. The determination unit 107b compares the radio wave intensity detected by the radio wave intensity detection unit 112 with a preset threshold value. The determination unit 107b outputs the comparison result to the UI table storage unit 108b and the UI generation unit 109b. The UI generation unit 109b generates a display screen (UI) to be displayed on the display unit 110 based on the determination result output from the determination unit 107b and the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108b.
　本実施形態において、家電タグ２０１が第１電子タグの一例に相当し、家電タグ２０２が第２電子タグの一例に相当し、外部機器２が外部装置の一例に相当し、携帯端末１ｂが携帯装置の一例に相当し、近接無線通信部１０１が通信部の一例に相当し、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｂが表示制御部の一例に相当する。 In the present embodiment, the home appliance tag 201 corresponds to an example of a first electronic tag, the home appliance tag 202 corresponds to an example of a second electronic tag, the external device 2 corresponds to an example of an external device, and the mobile terminal 1b is portable. The close proximity wireless communication unit 101 corresponds to an example of a device, the close proximity wireless communication unit 101 corresponds to an example of a communication unit, and the UI generation unit 109b corresponds to an example of a display control unit.
　図１３は、第３実施形態の携帯端末の動作を示すフローチャートである。図１４は、第３実施形態における、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果及び表示部に表示される表示画面を示す図である。図１５は、第３実施形態のＵＩテーブル記憶部に保存されているＵＩテーブルを示す図である。図１３～図１５を用いて、携帯端末１ｂの動作が説明される。 FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal according to the third embodiment. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a response result to a polling signal and a display screen displayed on the display unit in the third embodiment. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a UI table stored in the UI table storage unit of the third embodiment. The operation of the mobile terminal 1b will be described with reference to FIGS.
　図１３のステップＳ２１～Ｓ２５は、図６のステップＳ１～Ｓ５と同様である。なお、図１３では、タイマー部１０３のカウント値がタイムアウトでなければ（ステップＳ２４でＮＯ）、図６と異なり、直接、ステップＳ２１に戻る。 Steps S21 to S25 in FIG. 13 are the same as steps S1 to S5 in FIG. In FIG. 13, if the count value of the timer unit 103 is not timed out (NO in step S24), the process directly returns to step S21, unlike FIG.
　ステップＳ２３において、ポーリング信号に対する家電タグからの応答信号を受信していれば（ステップＳ２３でＹＥＳ）、電波強度検出部１１２は、ポーリング信号に対する応答に含まれている家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度を検出する（ステップＳ２６）。続いて、判定部１０７ｂは、家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度と閾値との比較結果を生成する（ステップＳ２７）。次に、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｂは、家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度と閾値との比較結果に対応する表示画面（ＵＩ）を表示部１１０に表示して（ステップＳ２８）、この動作を終了する。 If a response signal from the home appliance tag for the polling signal is received in step S23 (YES in step S23), the radio wave intensity detector 112 receives the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 included in the response to the polling signal. Is detected (step S26). Subsequently, the determination unit 107b generates a comparison result between the radio field intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 and a threshold value (step S27). Next, the UI generation unit 109b displays a display screen (UI) corresponding to the comparison result between the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 and the threshold value on the display unit 110 (step S28), and ends this operation.
　例えば、図１４において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ４に対する応答は、全て「識別情報ＩＤ１」である。このとき、家電タグ２０１（識別情報ＩＤ１）の電波強度は、閾値ＴＨ１以上であり、かつ、家電タグ２０２（識別情報ＩＤ２）の電波強度は、閾値ＴＨ１未満である。したがって、判定部１０７は、近接無線通信部１０１と家電タグ２０１とが近接無線通信を行う第１通信状態と判定する。ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｂのＵＩテーブルにおいて、この比較結果に対応するＵＩは、図１５に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域になっている。したがって、図１４に示されるように、表示部１１０には、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域が表示される。 For example, in FIG. 14, the responses to the polling signals P1 to P4 are all “identification information ID1”. At this time, the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tag 201 (identification information ID1) is equal to or higher than the threshold TH1, and the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tag 202 (identification information ID2) is less than the threshold TH1. Therefore, the determination unit 107 determines the first communication state in which the proximity wireless communication unit 101 and the home appliance tag 201 perform proximity wireless communication. In the UI table of the UI table storage unit 108b, the UI corresponding to the comparison result is an area including the left end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2, as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, an area including the left end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110.
　また、図１４において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１６に対する応答は、順に、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。このとき、家電タグ２０１（識別情報ＩＤ１）の電波強度は、閾値ＴＨ１以上であり、かつ、家電タグ２０２（識別情報ＩＤ２）の電波強度も、閾値ＴＨ１以上である。したがって、判定部１０７は、近接無線通信部１０１と家電タグ２０１，２０２とが近接無線通信を行う第３通信状態と判定する。ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｂのＵＩテーブルにおいて、この比較結果に対応するＵＩは、図１５に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域になっている。したがって、図１４に示されるように、表示部１１０には、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域が表示される。 In FIG. 14, responses to polling signals P11 to P16 are “identification information ID1 and ID2”, “identification information ID1”, “identification information ID1 and ID2”, “identification information ID2”, “identification information ID1 and ID2 ”and“ identification information ID2 ”. At this time, the radio wave intensity of home appliance tag 201 (identification information ID1) is equal to or higher than threshold TH1, and the radio wave intensity of home appliance tag 202 (identification information ID2) is also equal to or higher than threshold TH1. Therefore, the determination unit 107 determines that the proximity wireless communication unit 101 and the home appliance tags 201 and 202 are in the third communication state in which the proximity wireless communication is performed. In the UI table of the UI table storage unit 108b, the UI corresponding to the comparison result is an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110.
　また、図１４において、ポーリング信号Ｐ２１～Ｐ２３に対する応答は、全て「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。このとき、家電タグ２０１（識別情報ＩＤ１）の電波強度は、閾値ＴＨ１未満であり、かつ、家電タグ２０２（識別情報ＩＤ２）の電波強度は、閾値ＴＨ１以上である。したがって、判定部１０７は、近接無線通信部１０１と家電タグ２０２とが近接無線通信を行う第２通信状態と判定する。ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｂのＵＩテーブルにおいて、この比較結果に対応するＵＩは、図１５に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の右端を含む領域になっている。したがって、図１４に示されるように、表示部１１０には、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の右端を含む領域が表示される。本実施形態において、閾値ＴＨ１が電波強度の第１閾値ないし第４閾値の一例に相当する。 In FIG. 14, the responses to polling signals P21 to P23 are all “identification information ID2”. At this time, the radio wave intensity of home appliance tag 201 (identification information ID1) is less than threshold TH1, and the radio wave intensity of home appliance tag 202 (identification information ID2) is greater than or equal to threshold TH1. Therefore, the determination unit 107 determines that the close proximity wireless communication unit 101 and the home appliance tag 202 are in the second communication state in which close proximity wireless communication is performed. In the UI table of the UI table storage unit 108b, the UI corresponding to the comparison result is an area including the right end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2, as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, an area including the right end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110. In the present embodiment, the threshold value TH1 corresponds to an example of a first threshold value to a fourth threshold value of radio field intensity.
　このように、第３実施形態でも、ＲＦＩＤリーダ／ライタを備える携帯端末１ｂを、ＲＦＩＤを備える外部機器２に近接させて、外部機器２を制御するための表示画面を携帯端末１ｂの表示部１１０に表示させている。したがって、第３実施形態によれば、第１実施形態と同様に、外部機器２のユーザインターフェースを向上することができる。 As described above, also in the third embodiment, the display unit 110 of the mobile terminal 1b displays a display screen for controlling the external device 2 by bringing the mobile terminal 1b including the RFID reader / writer close to the external device 2 including the RFID. Is displayed. Therefore, according to the third embodiment, the user interface of the external device 2 can be improved as in the first embodiment.
　また、第３実施形態では、電波強度検出部１１２は、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果に含まれる家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度を検出し、判定部１０７ｂは、家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度（つまり携帯端末１ｂと外部機器２との通信状態）と閾値ＴＨ１とを比較し、３種類の比較結果（通信状態）を判定する。すなわち、第３実施形態でも、第１実施形態と同様に、判定部１０７ｂは、家電タグ２０１の識別情報ＩＤ１を主に受信する（家電タグ２０２に比べて家電タグ２０１からの応答の信号強度がより強い）第１通信状態と、家電タグ２０２の識別情報ＩＤ２を主に受信する（家電タグ２０１に比べて家電タグ２０２からの応答の信号強度がより強い）第２通信状態と、家電タグ２０１，２０２の識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２の両方を受信する（つまり家電タグ２０１及び家電タグ２０２の応答の信号強度がほぼ同等の強さである）第３通信状態との３種類の通信状態を判定する。そして、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｂは、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｂに保存されているＵＩを用いて、３種類の状態に対応するＵＩを表示部１１０に表示する。したがって、第３実施形態によれば、第１実施形態と同様に、２個の家電タグ２０１，２０２より多い３種類のＵＩを表示部１１０に表示することが可能になっている。 In the third embodiment, the radio field intensity detection unit 112 detects the radio field intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 included in the response result to the polling signal, and the determination unit 107b detects the radio field intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 (that is, The communication state between the portable terminal 1b and the external device 2) is compared with the threshold value TH1, and three types of comparison results (communication state) are determined. That is, also in the third embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the determination unit 107b mainly receives the identification information ID1 of the home appliance tag 201 (the signal strength of the response from the home appliance tag 201 is higher than that of the home appliance tag 202). The first communication state, which is stronger, the second communication state that mainly receives the identification information ID2 of the home appliance tag 202 (the signal strength of the response from the home appliance tag 202 is stronger than that of the home appliance tag 201), and the home appliance tag 201 , 202 is received (that is, the signal strengths of responses of the home appliance tag 201 and the home appliance tag 202 are substantially equal), and the three communication states are determined. . Then, the UI generation unit 109b displays UIs corresponding to the three types of states on the display unit 110 using the UI stored in the UI table storage unit 108b. Therefore, according to the third embodiment, as in the first embodiment, three types of UI more than the two home appliance tags 201 and 202 can be displayed on the display unit 110.
　なお、上記第３実施形態では、電波強度の閾値として、同じ値の閾値ＴＨ１を用いているが、本発明の一局面は、これに限られない。例えば、第３通信状態と判定されるときの家電タグ２０１（識別情報ＩＤ１）の電波強度の閾値Ｔ１１（第１閾値の一例に相当）と、第１通信状態と判定されるときの家電タグ２０１（識別情報ＩＤ１）の電波強度の閾値Ｔ１３（第３閾値の一例に相当）とを、Ｔ１３≦Ｔ１１としてもよい。ここで、第２通信状態と判定されるときの家電タグ２０１（識別情報ＩＤ１）の電波強度は、例えば閾値Ｔ１１未満のときに第２通信状態と判定するようにしてもよい。 In the third embodiment, the threshold value TH1 having the same value is used as the threshold value of the radio wave intensity. However, one aspect of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the threshold T11 (corresponding to an example of the first threshold) of the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tag 201 (identification information ID1) when determined as the third communication state, and the home appliance tag 201 when determined as the first communication state The threshold value T13 (corresponding to an example of the third threshold value) of the radio wave intensity of (identification information ID1) may be set to T13 ≦ T11. Here, the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tag 201 (identification information ID1) when determined as the second communication state may be determined as the second communication state, for example, when it is less than the threshold T11.
　また、例えば、第３通信状態と判定されるときの家電タグ２０２（識別情報ＩＤ２）の電波強度の閾値Ｔ１２（第２閾値の一例に相当）と、第２通信状態と判定されるときの家電タグ２０２（識別情報ＩＤ２）の電波強度の閾値Ｔ１４（第４閾値の一例に相当）とを、Ｔ１４≦Ｔ１２としてもよい。ここで、第１通信状態と判定されるときの家電タグ２０２（識別情報ＩＤ２）の電波強度は、例えば閾値Ｔ１２未満のときに第１通信状態と判定するようにしてもよい。 Further, for example, the threshold T12 (corresponding to an example of the second threshold) of the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tag 202 (identification information ID2) when determined as the third communication state, and the home appliance when determined as the second communication state The threshold value T14 (corresponding to an example of the fourth threshold value) of the radio wave intensity of the tag 202 (identification information ID2) may be set to T14 ≦ T12. Here, the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tag 202 (identification information ID2) when it is determined as the first communication state may be determined as the first communication state when it is less than the threshold T12, for example.
　例えば、閾値Ｔ１３を小さい値にすると、家電タグ２０１を基準として、家電タグ２０２と反対の方向に、第１通信状態と判定される領域が広くなる。例えば、閾値Ｔ１１を大きい値にすると、第３通信状態と判定される領域が狭くなる。 For example, when the threshold value T13 is set to a small value, the area determined as the first communication state is widened in the direction opposite to the home appliance tag 202 with the home appliance tag 201 as a reference. For example, when the threshold value T11 is set to a large value, the region determined as the third communication state is narrowed.

Note that, unlike the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 1c of the fourth embodiment does not have an anti-collision function.
　電波強度検出部１１２は、第３実施形態と同様に、近接無線通信部１０１からの信号に基づき、ポーリング信号に対する応答に含まれる家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度を検出する。判定部１０７ｃは、電波強度検出部１１２により検出された電波強度の合計を生成する。判定部１０７ｃは、生成した合計と予め設定された閾値とを比較する。判定部１０７ｃは、比較結果をＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｃ及びＵＩ生成部１０９ｃに出力する。ＵＩ生成部１０９ｃは、判定部１０７ｃから出力される判定結果と、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｃに保存されているＵＩテーブルとに基づき、表示部１１０に表示する表示画面（ＵＩ）を生成する。 The radio field intensity detection unit 112 detects the radio field intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 included in the response to the polling signal based on the signal from the close proximity wireless communication unit 101 as in the third embodiment. The determination unit 107c generates the sum of the radio field intensities detected by the radio field intensity detection unit 112. The determination unit 107c compares the generated total with a preset threshold value. The determination unit 107c outputs the comparison result to the UI table storage unit 108c and the UI generation unit 109c. The UI generation unit 109c generates a display screen (UI) to be displayed on the display unit 110 based on the determination result output from the determination unit 107c and the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108c.
　本実施形態において、家電タグ２０１が第１電子タグの一例に相当し、家電タグ２０２が第２電子タグの一例に相当し、外部機器２が外部装置の一例に相当し、携帯端末１ｃが携帯装置の一例に相当し、近接無線通信部１０１が通信部の一例に相当し、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｃが表示制御部の一例に相当する。 In the present embodiment, the home appliance tag 201 corresponds to an example of a first electronic tag, the home appliance tag 202 corresponds to an example of a second electronic tag, the external device 2 corresponds to an example of an external device, and the mobile terminal 1c is portable. The proximity wireless communication unit 101 corresponds to an example of a device, the proximity wireless communication unit 101 corresponds to an example of a communication unit, and the UI generation unit 109c corresponds to an example of a display control unit.
　図１７は、第４実施形態の携帯端末の動作を示すフローチャートである。図１８は、第４実施形態における、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果及び表示部に表示される表示画面を示す図である。図１９は、第４実施形態のＵＩテーブル記憶部に保存されているＵＩテーブルを示す図である。以下、図１７～図１９を用いて、携帯端末１ｃの動作が説明される。 FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a response result to a polling signal and a display screen displayed on the display unit in the fourth embodiment. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a UI table stored in the UI table storage unit of the fourth embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation of the portable terminal 1c will be described with reference to FIGS.
　図１７のステップＳ４１～Ｓ４５は、図６のステップＳ１～Ｓ５と同様である。なお、図１７では、タイマー部１０３のカウント値がタイムアウトでなければ（ステップＳ４４でＮＯ）、図６と異なり、直接、ステップＳ４１に戻る。 17 are the same as steps S1 to S5 in FIG. In FIG. 17, if the count value of the timer unit 103 is not timed out (NO in step S44), the process returns directly to step S41, unlike FIG.
　ステップＳ４３において、ポーリング信号に対する家電タグからの応答信号を受信していれば（ステップＳ４３でＹＥＳ）、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、ポーリング信号に対する応答に含まれる家電タグ２０１，２０２の識別情報（ＩＤ）を抽出し、抽出した識別情報を判定部１０７ｃに出力する（ステップＳ４６）。次いで、電波強度検出部１１２は、ポーリング信号に対する応答に含まれている家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度を検出する（ステップＳ４７）。 If the response signal from the household appliance tag with respect to the polling signal is received in step S43 (YES in step S43), the ID extraction unit 1021 identifies the identification information (ID) of the household appliance tags 201 and 202 included in the response to the polling signal. And the extracted identification information is output to the determination unit 107c (step S46). Next, the radio wave intensity detector 112 detects the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 included in the response to the polling signal (step S47).
　続いて、判定部１０７ｃは、家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度の合計を生成し（ステップＳ４８）、生成した合計と閾値とを比較し、比較結果をＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｃ及びＵＩ生成部１０９ｃに出力する（ステップＳ４９）。次に、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｃは、電波強度の合計が閾値より大きければ（ステップＳ４９でＹＥＳ）、対応する表示画面（ＵＩ）を表示部１１０に表示して（ステップＳ５０）、この動作を終了する。一方、電波強度の合計が閾値以下であれば（ステップＳ４９でＮＯ）、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｃは、識別情報に対応する表示画面（ＵＩ）を表示部１１０に表示して（ステップＳ５１）、この動作を終了する。 Subsequently, the determination unit 107c generates a sum of the radio field intensities of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 (step S48), compares the generated sum with a threshold value, and compares the comparison results with the UI table storage unit 108c and the UI generation unit 109c. Output (step S49). Next, if the sum of the radio field intensities is greater than the threshold value (YES in step S49), the UI generation unit 109c displays a corresponding display screen (UI) on the display unit 110 (step S50), and ends this operation. . On the other hand, if the sum of the radio field intensities is less than or equal to the threshold (NO in step S49), the UI generation unit 109c displays a display screen (UI) corresponding to the identification information on the display unit 110 (step S51). Exit.
　例えば、図１８において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ４に対する応答は、全て「識別情報ＩＤ１」である。このとき、家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度の合計は、閾値ＴＨ２に等しい。図１９に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｃのＵＩテーブルにおいて、電波強度の合計が閾値ＴＨ２以下であって、「識別情報ＩＤ１」に対応するＵＩは、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域になっている。したがって、図１８に示されるように、表示部１１０には、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域が表示される。 For example, in FIG. 18, the responses to the polling signals P1 to P4 are all “identification information ID1”. At this time, the sum of the radio field intensities of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 is equal to the threshold value TH2. In the UI table of the UI table storage unit 108c shown in FIG. 19, the UI corresponding to “identification information ID1” is a region including the left end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 where the sum of the radio field intensities is equal to or less than the threshold TH2. It has become. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 18, an area including the left end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110.
　また、図１８において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１６に対する応答は、順に、「混信」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「混信」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」、「混信」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。このとき、電波強度の合計は、閾値ＴＨ２より大きい。図１９に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｃのＵＩテーブルにおいて、電波強度の合計が閾値ＴＨ２より大きい比較結果に対応するＵＩは、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域になっている。したがって、図１８に示されるように、表示部１１０には、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域が表示される。 In FIG. 18, responses to polling signals P11 to P16 are “interference”, “identification information ID1”, “interference”, “identification information ID2”, “interference”, and “identification information ID2” in this order. At this time, the sum of the radio field intensities is larger than the threshold value TH2. In the UI table of the UI table storage unit 108c illustrated in FIG. 19, the UI corresponding to the comparison result in which the total radio field intensity is greater than the threshold value TH2 is an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 18, an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110.
　また、図１８において、ポーリング信号Ｐ２１～Ｐ２３に対する応答は、全て「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。このとき、電波強度の合計は、閾値ＴＨ２に等しい。図１９に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｃのＵＩテーブルにおいて、電波強度の合計が閾値ＴＨ２以下であって、「識別情報ＩＤ２」に対応するＵＩは、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の右端を含む領域になっている。したがって、図１８に示されるように、表示部１１０には、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の右端を含む領域が表示される。 In FIG. 18, the responses to the polling signals P21 to P23 are all “identification information ID2”. At this time, the sum of the radio field intensities is equal to the threshold value TH2. In the UI table of the UI table storage unit 108c shown in FIG. 19, the UI corresponding to “identification information ID2” is a region including the right end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 when the total radio field intensity is equal to or less than the threshold value TH2. It has become. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18, an area including the right end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110.
　このように、第４実施形態でも、ＲＦＩＤリーダ／ライタを備える携帯端末１ｃを、ＲＦＩＤを備える外部機器２に近接させて、外部機器２を制御するための表示画面を携帯端末１ｃの表示部１１０に表示させている。したがって、第４実施形態によれば、第１実施形態と同様に、外部機器２のユーザインターフェースを向上することができる。 As described above, also in the fourth embodiment, the mobile terminal 1c including the RFID reader / writer is brought close to the external device 2 including the RFID, and a display screen for controlling the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110 of the mobile terminal 1c. Is displayed. Therefore, according to the fourth embodiment, the user interface of the external device 2 can be improved as in the first embodiment.
　また、第４実施形態では、電波強度検出部１１２は、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果に含まれる家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度を検出する。第４実施形態の携帯端末１ｃは、アンチコリジョン機能を有していない。このため、１回のポーリング信号に対して家電タグ２０１，２０２の両方が応答すると、両方のポーリング応答が混信して、判定部１０７ｃは、家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度を区別することはできない。しかし、混信している場合には、電波強度の合計が、混信していない場合に比べて増大する。そこで、判定部１０７ｃは、電波強度の合計を生成し、電波強度の合計と閾値とを比較する。そして、判定部１０７ｃは、電波強度の合計が閾値より大きい場合は、家電タグ２０１，２０２の識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２の両方を受信する状態と判定する。 In the fourth embodiment, the radio wave intensity detection unit 112 detects the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 included in the response result to the polling signal. The mobile terminal 1c according to the fourth embodiment does not have an anti-collision function. For this reason, when both home appliance tags 201 and 202 respond to a single polling signal, both polling responses interfere with each other, and the determination unit 107c cannot distinguish the radio field intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202. . However, when there is interference, the total radio field intensity increases compared to when there is no interference. Therefore, the determination unit 107c generates a sum of the radio field strengths, and compares the sum of the radio field strengths with a threshold value. And the determination part 107c determines with the state which receives both identification information ID1 and ID2 of the household appliance tags 201 and 202, when the sum total of field intensity is larger than a threshold value.
　その結果、判定部１０７ｃは、ポーリング信号に対する応答に含まれる識別情報及び家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度に基づき（つまり携帯端末１ｃと外部機器２との通信状態に基づき）、３種類の通信状態を判定する。すなわち、第４実施形態でも、判定部１０７ｃは、家電タグ２０１の識別情報ＩＤ１を受信する第１通信状態と、家電タグ２０２の識別情報ＩＤ２を受信する第２通信状態と、家電タグ２０１，２０２からの応答がほぼ同等の強さであり混信している第３通信状態（電波強度の合計が閾値より大きい状態）との３種類の通信状態を判定する。そして、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｃは、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｃに保存されているＵＩを用いて、３種類の状態に対応するＵＩを表示部１１０に表示する。したがって、第４実施形態によれば、第１実施形態と同様に、２個の家電タグ２０１，２０２より多い３種類のＵＩを表示部１１０に表示することが可能になっている。 As a result, the determination unit 107c has three types of communication states based on the identification information included in the response to the polling signal and the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 (that is, based on the communication state between the mobile terminal 1c and the external device 2). Determine. That is, also in 4th Embodiment, the determination part 107c is the 1st communication state which receives identification information ID1 of the household appliance tag 201, The 2nd communication state which receives identification information ID2 of the household appliance tag 202, and household appliance tag 201,202. The three types of communication states, ie, the third communication state (the state in which the total radio field intensity is greater than the threshold value) in which the response from the mobile station is almost equal in strength and are interfering, are determined. Then, the UI generation unit 109c displays UIs corresponding to the three types of states on the display unit 110 using the UIs stored in the UI table storage unit 108c. Therefore, according to the fourth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, three types of UI more than the two home appliance tags 201 and 202 can be displayed on the display unit 110.

　図２０に示される第５実施形態の携帯端末１ｄは、図１に示される第１実施形態の携帯端末１において、システム制御部１０４に代えてシステム制御部１０４ａを備え、判定部１０７に代えて判定部１０７ｄを備え、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８に代えてＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｄを備え、ＵＩ生成部１０９に代えてＵＩ生成部１０９ｄを備え、さらに、消費電流検出部１１３を新たに備える。なお、この第５実施形態の携帯端末１ｄは、第１実施形態と異なり、アンチコリジョン機能を有していない。 A mobile terminal 1d of the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 20 includes a system control unit 104a instead of the system control unit 104 in the mobile terminal 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. A determination unit 107d; a UI table storage unit 108d instead of the UI table storage unit 108; a UI generation unit 109d instead of the UI generation unit 109; and a current consumption detection unit 113. Note that, unlike the first embodiment, the portable terminal 1d of the fifth embodiment does not have an anti-collision function.
　消費電流検出部１１３は、携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値を検出する。システム制御部１０４ａは、消費電流検出部１１３による消費電流値の検出を制御する。判定部１０７ｄは、消費電流検出部１１３により検出された消費電流値と予め設定された閾値とを比較する。判定部１０７ｄは、比較結果をＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｄ及びＵＩ生成部１０９ｄに出力する。ＵＩ生成部１０９ｄは、判定部１０７ｄから出力される判定結果と、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｄに保存されているＵＩテーブルとに基づき、表示部１１０に表示する表示画面（ＵＩ）を生成する。 The current consumption detector 113 detects the current consumption value of the mobile terminal 1d. The system control unit 104 a controls the detection of the consumption current value by the consumption current detection unit 113. The determination unit 107d compares the current consumption value detected by the current consumption detection unit 113 with a preset threshold value. The determination unit 107d outputs the comparison result to the UI table storage unit 108d and the UI generation unit 109d. The UI generation unit 109d generates a display screen (UI) to be displayed on the display unit 110 based on the determination result output from the determination unit 107d and the UI table stored in the UI table storage unit 108d.
　本実施形態において、家電タグ２０１が第１電子タグの一例に相当し、家電タグ２０２が第２電子タグの一例に相当し、外部機器２が外部装置の一例に相当し、携帯端末１ｄが携帯装置の一例に相当し、近接無線通信部１０１が通信部の一例に相当し、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｄが表示制御部の一例に相当する。 In the present embodiment, the home appliance tag 201 corresponds to an example of a first electronic tag, the home appliance tag 202 corresponds to an example of a second electronic tag, the external device 2 corresponds to an example of an external device, and the portable terminal 1d is portable. The proximity wireless communication unit 101 corresponds to an example of a device, and the UI generation unit 109d corresponds to an example of a display control unit.
　図２１は、第５実施形態の携帯端末の動作を示すフローチャートである。図２２は、第５実施形態における、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果及び表示部に表示される表示画面を示す図である。図２３は、第５実施形態のＵＩテーブル記憶部に保存されているＵＩテーブルを示す図である。以下、図２１～図２３を用いて、携帯端末１ｄの動作が説明される。 FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal of the fifth embodiment. FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating a response result to the polling signal and a display screen displayed on the display unit in the fifth embodiment. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating a UI table stored in the UI table storage unit of the fifth embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation of the portable terminal 1d will be described with reference to FIGS.
　図２１において、この第５実施形態のアプリケーションが起動されると、まず、システム制御部１０４ａは、消費電流検出部１１３に携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値の測定を開始させる（ステップＳ６１）。続くステップＳ６２～Ｓ６６は、図６のステップＳ１～Ｓ５と同様である。なお、図２１では、タイマー部１０３のカウント値がタイムアウトでなければ（ステップＳ６５でＮＯ）、図６と異なり、消費電流検出部１１３により検出された携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値をシステム制御部１０４ａがリセットして（ステップＳ６７）、ステップＳ６１に戻る。 In FIG. 21, when the application of the fifth embodiment is activated, first, the system control unit 104a causes the consumption current detection unit 113 to start measuring the consumption current value of the portable terminal 1d (step S61). Subsequent steps S62 to S66 are the same as steps S1 to S5 in FIG. In FIG. 21, if the count value of the timer unit 103 is not timed out (NO in step S65), unlike FIG. 6, the current consumption value of the portable terminal 1d detected by the current consumption detection unit 113 is set to the system control unit 104a. Is reset (step S67), and the process returns to step S61.
　ステップＳ６４において、ポーリング信号に対する家電タグからの応答信号を受信していれば（ステップＳ６４でＹＥＳ）、判定部１０７ｄは、消費電流検出部１１３により検出されている携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値を抽出する（ステップＳ６８）。続いて、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、ポーリング信号に対する応答に含まれる家電タグ２０１，２０２の識別情報（ＩＤ）を抽出し、抽出した識別情報を判定部１０７ｄに出力する（ステップＳ６９）。 If the response signal from the household appliance tag with respect to the polling signal is received in step S64 (YES in step S64), the determination unit 107d extracts the current consumption value of the portable terminal 1d detected by the current consumption detection unit 113. (Step S68). Subsequently, the ID extraction unit 1021 extracts the identification information (ID) of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 included in the response to the polling signal, and outputs the extracted identification information to the determination unit 107d (step S69).
　続いて、判定部１０７ｄは、携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値と閾値とを比較し、比較結果をＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｄ及びＵＩ生成部１０９ｄに出力する（ステップＳ７０）。次に、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｄは、消費電流値が閾値より大きければ（ステップＳ７０でＹＥＳ）、対応する表示画面（ＵＩ）を表示部１１０に表示して（ステップＳ７１）、この動作を終了する。一方、消費電流値が閾値以下であれば（ステップＳ７０でＮＯ）、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｄは、識別情報に対応する表示画面（ＵＩ）を表示部１１０に表示して（ステップＳ７２）、この動作を終了する。 Subsequently, the determination unit 107d compares the current consumption value of the portable terminal 1d with the threshold value, and outputs the comparison result to the UI table storage unit 108d and the UI generation unit 109d (step S70). Next, if the current consumption value is larger than the threshold value (YES in step S70), the UI generation unit 109d displays the corresponding display screen (UI) on the display unit 110 (step S71), and ends this operation. On the other hand, if the current consumption value is equal to or less than the threshold value (NO in step S70), the UI generation unit 109d displays a display screen (UI) corresponding to the identification information on the display unit 110 (step S72), and performs this operation. finish.
　例えば、図２２において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ４に対する応答は、全て「識別情報ＩＤ１」である。このとき、携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値は、閾値ＴＨ３に等しい。図２３に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｄのＵＩテーブルにおいて、消費電流値が閾値ＴＨ３以下であって、「識別情報ＩＤ１」に対応するＵＩは、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域になっている。したがって、図２２に示されるように、表示部１１０には、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の左端を含む領域が表示される。 For example, in FIG. 22, the responses to the polling signals P1 to P4 are all “identification information ID1”. At this time, the current consumption value of the portable terminal 1d is equal to the threshold value TH3. In the UI table of the UI table storage unit 108d shown in FIG. 23, the UI corresponding to “identification information ID1” whose current consumption value is equal to or less than the threshold value TH3 is displayed in an area including the left end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2. It has become. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22, an area including the left end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110.
　また、図２２において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１６に対する応答は、順に、「混信」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「混信」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」、「混信」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。このとき、携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値は閾値ＴＨ３より大きい。ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｄのＵＩテーブルにおいて、消費電流値が閾値ＴＨ３より大きい比較結果に対応するＵＩは、図２３に示されるように、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域になっている。したがって、図２２に示されるように、表示部１１０には、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の中央を含む領域が表示される。 In FIG. 22, responses to polling signals P11 to P16 are “interference”, “identification information ID1”, “interference”, “identification information ID2”, “interference”, and “identification information ID2” in this order. At this time, the current consumption value of the portable terminal 1d is larger than the threshold value TH3. In the UI table of the UI table storage unit 108d, the UI corresponding to the comparison result whose current consumption value is larger than the threshold value TH3 is an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2, as shown in FIG. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22, an area including the center of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110.
　また、図２２において、ポーリング信号Ｐ２１～Ｐ２３に対する応答は、全て「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。このとき、携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値は、閾値ＴＨ３に等しい。図２３に示されるＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｄのＵＩテーブルにおいて、消費電流値が閾値ＴＨ３以下であって、「識別情報ＩＤ２」に対応するＵＩは、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の右端を含む領域になっている。したがって、図２２に示されるように、表示部１１０には、外部機器２の操作パネル２０６の右端を含む領域が表示される。 In FIG. 22, the responses to the polling signals P21 to P23 are all “identification information ID2”. At this time, the current consumption value of the portable terminal 1d is equal to the threshold value TH3. In the UI table of the UI table storage unit 108d shown in FIG. 23, the UI corresponding to “identification information ID2” whose current consumption value is equal to or less than the threshold value TH3 is included in an area including the right end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2. It has become. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22, an area including the right end of the operation panel 206 of the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110.
　このように、第５実施形態でも、ＲＦＩＤリーダ／ライタを備える携帯端末１ｄを、ＲＦＩＤを備える外部機器２に近接させて、外部機器２を制御するための表示画面を携帯端末１ｄの表示部１１０に表示させている。したがって、第５実施形態によれば、第１実施形態と同様に、外部機器２のユーザインターフェースを向上することができる。 As described above, also in the fifth embodiment, a display screen for controlling the external device 2 by bringing the mobile terminal 1d including the RFID reader / writer close to the external device 2 including the RFID displays the display unit 110 of the mobile terminal 1d. Is displayed. Therefore, according to the fifth embodiment, the user interface of the external device 2 can be improved as in the first embodiment.
　また、第５実施形態では、消費電流検出部１１３は、携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値を検出する。第５実施形態の携帯端末１ｄは、アンチコリジョン機能を有していない。このため、判定部１０７ｄは、１回のポーリング信号に対して家電タグ２０１，２０２の両方が応答すると、混信と判断されて、家電タグ２０１，２０２を区別することはできない。しかし、混信している場合には、携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値が、混信していない場合に比べて増大する。そこで、判定部１０７ｄは、消費電流検出部１１３により検出された携帯端末１ｄの消費電流値と閾値とを比較する。そして、判定部１０７ｄは、消費電流値が閾値より大きい場合は、家電タグ２０１，２０２の識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２の両方を受信する状態と判定する。 In the fifth embodiment, the current consumption detector 113 detects the current consumption value of the mobile terminal 1d. The mobile terminal 1d of the fifth embodiment does not have an anti-collision function. For this reason, when both home appliance tags 201 and 202 respond to a single polling signal, determination unit 107d is determined as interference and cannot distinguish home appliance tags 201 and 202. However, when there is interference, the current consumption value of the mobile terminal 1d increases compared to when there is no interference. Therefore, the determination unit 107d compares the current consumption value of the portable terminal 1d detected by the current consumption detection unit 113 with a threshold value. And the determination part 107d determines with the state which receives both identification information ID1 and ID2 of the household appliance tags 201 and 202, when a consumption current value is larger than a threshold value.
　その結果、判定部１０７ｄは、ポーリング信号に対する応答に含まれる識別情報及び家電タグ２０１，２０２の電波強度に基づき（つまり携帯端末１ｄと外部機器２との通信状態に基づき）、３種類の通信状態を判定する。すなわち、第５実施形態でも、判定部１０７ｄは、家電タグ２０１の識別情報ＩＤ１を受信する第１通信状態と、家電タグ２０２の識別情報ＩＤ２を受信する第２通信状態と、家電タグ２０１，２０２からの応答がほぼ同等の強さであり混信している第３通信状態（消費電流値が閾値より大きい状態）との３種類の通信状態を判定する。そして、ＵＩ生成部１０９ｄは、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８ｄに保存されているＵＩを用いて、３種類の状態に対応するＵＩを表示部１１０に表示する。したがって、第５実施形態によれば、第１実施形態と同様に、２個の家電タグ２０１，２０２より多い３種類のＵＩを表示部１１０に表示することが可能になっている。 As a result, the determination unit 107d has three types of communication states based on the identification information included in the response to the polling signal and the radio wave intensity of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 (that is, based on the communication state between the mobile terminal 1d and the external device 2). Determine. That is, also in 5th Embodiment, the determination part 107d is the 1st communication state which receives identification information ID1 of the household appliance tag 201, the 2nd communication state which receives identification information ID2 of the household appliance tag 202, and household appliance tags 201 and 202. The three types of communication states, ie, the third communication state (the state where the current consumption value is greater than the threshold value) in which the response from the mobile phone is almost the same strength and are causing interference, are determined. Then, the UI generation unit 109d displays UIs corresponding to the three types of states on the display unit 110 using the UIs stored in the UI table storage unit 108d. Therefore, according to the fifth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, three types of UI more than the two home appliance tags 201 and 202 can be displayed on the display unit 110.

FIG. 25 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of an external device used in the sixth embodiment. In the sixth embodiment, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same elements as those in the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the sixth embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.
　図２４に示される第６実施形態の携帯端末１ｅは、図１に示される第１実施形態の携帯端末１において、ＵＩテーブル記憶部１０８、ＵＩ生成部１０９及び表示部１１０を備えておらず、通信制御部１０２に代えて通信制御部１０２ｂを備え、判定部１０７に代えて判定部１０７ｅを備え、さらに、コマンドテーブル記憶部１１４及びコマンド生成部１１５を新たに備える。なお、この第６実施形態の携帯端末１ｅは、第１実施形態と同様に、アンチコリジョン機能を有する。図２５に示される外部機器２ａは、図２に示される外部機器２において、ＣＰＵ２０３に代えてＣＰＵ２０３ａを備える。 The mobile terminal 1e of the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 24 does not include the UI table storage unit 108, the UI generation unit 109, and the display unit 110 in the mobile terminal 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

An external device 2a shown in FIG. 25 includes a CPU 203a instead of the CPU 203 in the external device 2 shown in FIG.
　図２４において、判定部１０７ｅは、第１実施形態の判定部１０７と同様に、記憶部１０５に保存されているポーリング信号に対する応答結果（つまり携帯端末１と外部機器２との通信状態）のうち、最近のＮ回のポーリング信号に対する応答結果を抽出する。判定部１０７ｅは、さらに、抽出した応答結果をコマンドテーブル記憶部１１４及びコマンド生成部１１５に出力する。 In FIG. 24, the determination unit 107 e is the same as the determination unit 107 of the first embodiment in the response result to the polling signal stored in the storage unit 105 (that is, the communication state between the mobile terminal 1 and the external device 2). Then, a response result to the latest N polling signals is extracted. The determination unit 107e further outputs the extracted response result to the command table storage unit 114 and the command generation unit 115.
　コマンドテーブル記憶部１１４は、ポーリング信号に対する種々の応答結果に対応して、コマンド生成部１１５が生成する種々の家電操作コマンドをコマンドテーブルとして保存している。コマンド生成部１１５は、コマンドテーブル記憶部１１４に保存されているコマンドテーブルを用いて、判定部１０７ｅから出力された応答結果に対応する家電操作コマンドを生成する。コマンド生成部１１５は、生成した家電操作コマンドを通信制御部１０２ｂに出力する。通信制御部１０２ｂは、第１実施形態の通信制御部１０２と同様に、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１及びポーリング部１０２２を含み、第１実施形態の通信制御部１０２と同様の機能を有する。通信制御部１０２ｂは、さらに、コマンド生成部１１５から出力された家電操作コマンドを、外部機器２ａの家電タグ２０１または家電タグ２０２に、近接無線通信部１０１を介して送信する。 The command table storage unit 114 stores various home appliance operation commands generated by the command generation unit 115 as a command table in response to various response results to the polling signal. The command generation unit 115 generates a home appliance operation command corresponding to the response result output from the determination unit 107e using the command table stored in the command table storage unit 114. The command generation unit 115 outputs the generated home appliance operation command to the communication control unit 102b. Similar to the communication control unit 102 of the first embodiment, the communication control unit 102b includes an ID extraction unit 1021 and a polling unit 1022, and has the same functions as the communication control unit 102 of the first embodiment. Further, the communication control unit 102b transmits the home appliance operation command output from the command generation unit 115 to the home appliance tag 201 or the home appliance tag 202 of the external device 2a via the proximity wireless communication unit 101.
　図２５において、ＣＰＵ２０３ａは、コマンド受付部２０７を備える。コマンド受付部２０７は、家電タグ２０１または家電タグ２０２に送信された家電操作コマンドを受け付ける。ＣＰＵ２０３ａは、第１実施形態のＣＰＵ２０３と同様に、操作パネル２０６の操作ボタンに対する操作に対応して、操作パネル２０６の表示部に表示する表示画面を制御するなど外部機器２ａの全体の動作を制御する。ＣＰＵ２０３ａは、さらに、コマンド受付部２０７が受け付けた家電操作コマンドに対応して、外部機器２ａの動作を制御する。 25, the CPU 203a includes a command receiving unit 207. The command receiving unit 207 receives a home appliance operation command transmitted to the home appliance tag 201 or the home appliance tag 202. Similar to the CPU 203 of the first embodiment, the CPU 203a controls the overall operation of the external device 2a, such as controlling the display screen displayed on the display unit of the operation panel 206 in response to an operation on the operation button of the operation panel 206. To do. The CPU 203a further controls the operation of the external device 2a in response to the home appliance operation command received by the command receiving unit 207.
　本実施形態において、家電タグ２０１が第１電子タグの一例に相当し、家電タグ２０２が第２電子タグの一例に相当し、外部機器２ａが外部装置の一例に相当し、携帯端末１ｅが携帯装置の一例に相当し、近接無線通信部１０１が通信部の一例に相当する。また、コマンド生成部１１５及び通信制御部１０２ｂが信号制御部の一例を構成し、家電操作コマンドが制御信号の一例に相当する。 In the present embodiment, the home appliance tag 201 corresponds to an example of a first electronic tag, the home appliance tag 202 corresponds to an example of a second electronic tag, the external device 2a corresponds to an example of an external device, and the mobile terminal 1e is portable.

　図２６は、第６実施形態の携帯端末の動作を示すフローチャートである。図２７は、第６実施形態における、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果及びコマンド生成部により生成される家電操作コマンドを示す図である。図２８は、第６実施形態のコマンドテーブル記憶部に保存されているコマンドテーブルを示す図である。以下、図２４～図２８を用いて、携帯端末１ｅの動作が説明される。 FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal of the sixth embodiment. FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating a response result to the polling signal and the home appliance operation command generated by the command generation unit in the sixth embodiment. FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating a command table stored in the command table storage unit of the sixth embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation of the portable terminal 1e will be described with reference to FIGS.
　図２６において、この第６実施形態のアプリケーションが起動されると、処理が開始される。ステップＳ８１～Ｓ８８は、図６のステップＳ１～Ｓ８と同様である。ステップＳ８８に続いて、判定部１０７ｅは、記憶部１０５から、最近の応答結果をＮ回分（この実施形態ではＮ＝３）抽出する（ステップＳ８９）。続いて、コマンド生成部１１５は、コマンドテーブル記憶部１１４に保存されているコマンドテーブルを用いて、判定部１０７ｅにより抽出されたＮ個の応答結果に対応する家電操作コマンドを生成する（ステップＳ９０）。続いて、通信制御部１０２ｂは、コマンド生成部１１５により生成された家電操作コマンドを、家電タグ２０１または家電タグ２０２に送信して（ステップＳ９１）、この動作を終了する。 In FIG. 26, when the application of the sixth embodiment is activated, the processing is started. Steps S81 to S88 are the same as steps S1 to S8 in FIG. Subsequent to step S88, the determination unit 107e extracts the latest response results for N times (N = 3 in this embodiment) from the storage unit 105 (step S89). Subsequently, the command generation unit 115 generates home appliance operation commands corresponding to the N response results extracted by the determination unit 107e using the command table stored in the command table storage unit 114 (step S90). . Subsequently, the communication control unit 102b transmits the home appliance operation command generated by the command generation unit 115 to the home appliance tag 201 or the home appliance tag 202 (step S91), and ends this operation.
　例えば、図２７において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ４に対する応答は、順に、「応答なし」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」である。最初の３回のポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ３の応答結果は、「応答なし」：１回、「識別情報ＩＤ１」：２回である。この応答結果は、図２８に示されるコマンドテーブル記憶部１１４に記憶されているコマンドテーブルにおいて、家電操作コマンドの最上欄である「洗濯のみ開始」に対応する応答結果の２段目に対応する。したがって、コマンド生成部１１５は、図２７に示されるように、「洗濯のみ開始」の家電操作コマンドを生成する。 For example, in FIG. 27, responses to polling signals P1 to P4 are “no response”, “identification information ID1”, “identification information ID1”, and “identification information ID1” in this order. The response results of the first three polling signals P1 to P3 are “no response”: once and “identification information ID1”: twice. This response result corresponds to the second level of the response result corresponding to “start washing only” which is the top column of the home appliance operation command in the command table stored in the command table storage unit 114 shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 27, command generation unit 115 generates a home appliance operation command of “start washing only”.
　また、次の３回のポーリング信号Ｐ２～Ｐ４の応答結果は、「識別情報ＩＤ１」：３回である。この応答結果は、図２８に示されるコマンドテーブル記憶部１１４に記憶されているコマンドテーブルにおいて、家電操作コマンドの最上欄である「洗濯のみ開始」に対応する応答結果の１段目に対応する。したがって、コマンド生成部１１５は、図２７に示されるように、「洗濯のみ開始」の家電操作コマンドを生成する。 Also, the response results of the next three polling signals P2 to P4 are “identification information ID1”: 3 times. This response result corresponds to the first level of the response result corresponding to “start washing only” which is the top column of the home appliance operation command in the command table stored in the command table storage unit 114 shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 27, command generation unit 115 generates a home appliance operation command of “start washing only”.
　また、図２７において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１６に対する応答は、順に、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「応答なし」、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。上述のように、この第６実施形態では、携帯端末１ｅはアンチコリジョン機能を有する。したがって、１回のポーリング信号の出力に対して、複数の家電タグ２０１，２０２からの応答が識別可能になっている。 In FIG. 27, responses to polling signals P11 to P16 are “identification information ID1 and ID2”, “identification information ID1”, “identification information ID1 and ID2”, “no response”, and “identification information ID1 and ID2” in this order. "Identification information ID2". As described above, in the sixth embodiment, the mobile terminal 1e has an anti-collision function. Therefore, the responses from the plurality of home appliance tags 201 and 202 can be identified with respect to the output of one polling signal.
　例えば、３回のポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１３に対する応答は、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」が２回、「識別情報ＩＤ１」が１回である。この応答結果は、図２８に示されるコマンドテーブル記憶部１１４に記憶されているコマンドテーブルにおいて、家電操作コマンドの上から２番目の欄である「洗濯／乾燥開始」に対応する応答結果の２段目に対応する。したがって、コマンド生成部１１５は、図２７に示されるように、「洗濯／乾燥開始」の家電操作コマンドを生成する。 For example, the responses to the three polling signals P11 to P13 are “identification information ID1 and ID2” twice and “identification information ID1” once. This response result is a two-step response result corresponding to “start washing / drying” which is the second column from the top of the home appliance operation command in the command table stored in the command table storage unit 114 shown in FIG. Corresponds to the eyes. Therefore, the command generation unit 115 generates a home appliance operation command “start washing / drying” as shown in FIG.
　また、例えば、３回のポーリング信号Ｐ１３～Ｐ１５に対する応答は、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」が２回、「応答なし」が１回である。この応答結果は、図２８に示されるコマンドテーブル記憶部１１４に記憶されているコマンドテーブルにおいて、家電操作コマンドの上から２番目の欄である「洗濯／乾燥開始」に対応する応答結果の３段目に対応する。したがって、コマンド生成部１１５は、図２７に示されるように、「洗濯／乾燥開始」の家電操作コマンドを生成する。 Also, for example, the responses to the three polling signals P13 to P15 are “identification information ID1 and ID2” twice and “no response” once. This response result is a three-step response result corresponding to “start washing / drying” which is the second column from the top of the home appliance operation command in the command table stored in the command table storage unit 114 shown in FIG. Corresponds to the eyes. Therefore, the command generation unit 115 generates a home appliance operation command “start washing / drying” as shown in FIG.
　また、図２７において、ポーリング信号Ｐ２１～Ｐ２３に対する応答は、順に、「識別情報ＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。この応答結果は、図２８に示されるコマンドテーブル記憶部１１４に記憶されているコマンドテーブルにおいて、家電操作コマンドの上から３番目の欄である「洗濯槽クリーニング」に対応する応答結果の１段目に対応する。したがって、コマンド生成部１１５は、図２７に示されるように、「洗濯槽クリーニング」の家電操作コマンドを生成する。本実施形態において、「洗濯のみ開始」が第１動作の一例に相当し、「洗濯槽クリーニング」が第２動作の一例に相当し、「洗濯／乾燥開始」が第３動作の一例に相当する。 In FIG. 27, responses to polling signals P21 to P23 are “identification information ID2”, “identification information ID2”, and “identification information ID2” in this order. This response result is the first level of the response result corresponding to “washing tub cleaning” which is the third column from the top of the home appliance operation command in the command table stored in the command table storage unit 114 shown in FIG. Corresponding to Therefore, the command generation unit 115 generates a home appliance operation command of “cleaning tub cleaning” as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, “start washing only” corresponds to an example of the first operation, “cleaning tub cleaning” corresponds to an example of the second operation, and “start of washing / drying” corresponds to an example of the third operation. .
　このように、第６実施形態でも、ＲＦＩＤリーダ／ライタを備える携帯端末１ｅを、ＲＦＩＤを備える外部機器２ａに近接させて、外部機器２を制御するための表示画面を携帯端末１ｅの表示部１１０に表示させている。したがって、第６実施形態によれば、第１実施形態と同様に、外部機器２のユーザインターフェースを向上することができる。 As described above, also in the sixth embodiment, the portable terminal 1e including the RFID reader / writer is brought close to the external device 2a including the RFID, and the display screen for controlling the external device 2 is displayed on the display unit 110 of the portable terminal 1e. Is displayed. Therefore, according to the sixth embodiment, the user interface of the external device 2 can be improved as in the first embodiment.
　また、第６実施形態では、第１実施形態と同様に、判定部１０７ｅは、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果（つまり携帯端末１ｅと外部機器２ａとの通信状態）に基づき、３種類の応答結果（通信状態）を判定する。すなわち、第６実施形態では、判定部１０７ｅは、家電タグ２０１の識別情報ＩＤ１を主に受信する（家電タグ２０２に比べて家電タグ２０１からの応答がより強い）第１通信状態と、家電タグ２０２の識別情報ＩＤ２を主に受信する（家電タグ２０１に比べて家電タグ２０２からの応答がより強い）第２通信状態と、家電タグ２０１，２０２の識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２の両方を受信する（家電タグ２０１，２０２からの応答がほぼ同等の強さである）第３通信状態との３種類の通信状態を判定する。そして、コマンド生成部１１５は、コマンドテーブル記憶部１１４に保存されているコマンドテーブルを用いて、３種類の状態に対応する家電操作コマンドを生成する。したがって、第６実施形態によれば、２個の家電タグ２０１，２０２より多い３種類の家電操作コマンドを生成することが可能になっている。 In the sixth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the determination unit 107e has three types of response results (communication) based on a response result to the polling signal (that is, the communication state between the mobile terminal 1e and the external device 2a). Status). That is, in the sixth embodiment, the determination unit 107e mainly receives the identification information ID1 of the home appliance tag 201 (the response from the home appliance tag 201 is stronger than that of the home appliance tag 202), and the home appliance tag 202 mainly receives the identification information ID2 of 202 (the response from the home appliance tag 202 is stronger than the home appliance tag 201) and both the identification information ID1 and ID2 of the home appliance tags 201 and 202 ( Three types of communication states are determined, including the third communication state (the responses from the home appliance tags 201 and 202 have substantially the same strength). And the command production | generation part 115 produces | generates the household appliance operation command corresponding to three types of states using the command table preserve | saved at the command table memory | storage part 114. FIG. Therefore, according to the sixth embodiment, it is possible to generate three types of home appliance operation commands more than the two home appliance tags 201 and 202.

The command generation unit 115a generates a home appliance operation command using a user operation on the operation unit 116 and a command table stored in the command table storage unit 114a. The command generation unit 115a outputs the generated home appliance operation command to the communication control unit 102b. Similar to the communication control unit 102 of the first embodiment, the communication control unit 102b includes an ID extraction unit 1021 and a polling unit 1022, and has the same functions as the communication control unit 102 of the first embodiment.

In the eighth embodiment, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same elements as in the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the eighth embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

A communication control unit 102b is provided instead of the communication control unit 102, a determination unit 107g is provided instead of the determination unit 107, and a time series data generation unit 106, a command table storage unit 114b, and a command generation unit 115b are newly provided. In addition, the portable terminal 1g of this 8th Embodiment has an anti-collision function similarly to 1st Embodiment. In the eighth embodiment, as in the sixth embodiment, the external device 2a shown in FIG. 25 is used.
　通信制御部１０２ｂは、第１実施形態の通信制御部１０２と同様に、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１及びポーリング部１０２２を含み、第１実施形態の通信制御部１０２と同様の機能を有する。つまり、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、ポーリング部１０２２により出力されたポーリング信号に対する応答信号に含まれる識別情報（ＩＤ情報）を抽出する。ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、抽出したＩＤ情報を判定部１０７ｇに出力する。通信制御部１０２ｂは、タイマー部１０３のカウント値が所定時間に達してタイムアウトになったか否かを判定する。通信制御部１０２ｂは、タイマー部１０３のカウント値がタイムアウトになると、その旨を判定部１０７ｇに通知する。 The communication control unit 102b includes an ID extraction unit 1021 and a polling unit 1022, similarly to the communication control unit 102 of the first embodiment, and has the same functions as the communication control unit 102 of the first embodiment. That is, the ID extraction unit 1021 extracts identification information (ID information) included in a response signal to the polling signal output by the polling unit 1022. The ID extraction unit 1021 outputs the extracted ID information to the determination unit 107g. The communication control unit 102b determines whether the count value of the timer unit 103 has reached a predetermined time and timed out. When the count value of the timer unit 103 times out, the communication control unit 102b notifies the determination unit 107g to that effect.
　判定部１０７ｇは、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１から出力されたＩＤ情報に基づき、近接無線通信部１０１と外部機器２ａとの通信状態を判定する。判定部１０７ｇは、判定した通信状態を時系列データ生成部１０６に出力する。 The determination unit 107g determines the communication state between the close proximity wireless transfer unit 101 and the external device 2a based on the ID information output from the ID extraction unit 1021. The determination unit 107g outputs the determined communication state to the time-series data generation unit 106.
　時系列データ生成部１０６は、外部機器２ａに対する携帯端末１ｇの近接状態が時間的に変化して、判定部１０７ｇにより判定された通信状態が、第１通信状態（家電タグ２０２に比べて家電タグ２０１からの応答がより強い状態）、第２通信状態（家電タグ２０１に比べて家電タグ２０２からの応答がより強い状態）または第３通信状態（家電タグ２０１，２０２からの応答がほぼ同等の強さである状態）の間で遷移すると、遷移した通信状態（この実施形態ではＩＤ情報で表される）を時系列に並べた時系列データを生成する。 The time series data generation unit 106 determines that the proximity state of the mobile terminal 1g to the external device 2a changes with time, and the communication state determined by the determination unit 107g is the first communication state (the home appliance tag compared to the home appliance tag 202). 201 is a stronger response), a second communication state (a stronger response from the home appliance tag 202 than the home appliance tag 201), or a third communication state (the responses from the home appliance tags 201, 202 are substantially equivalent). When the transition is made between the strength states, time-series data in which the transitioned communication states (represented by ID information in this embodiment) are arranged in time series is generated.
　判定部１０７ｇは、通信制御部１０２ｂからタイマー部１０３のカウント値がタイムアウトになったことを通知されると、時系列データ生成部１０６により時系列データが生成されているか否かを判定する。判定部１０７ｇは、時系列データ生成部１０６により時系列データが生成されていると判定した場合には、時系列データ生成部１０６に、時系列データをコマンドテーブル記憶部１１４ｂ及びコマンド生成部１１５ｂに出力させる。 When the determination unit 107g is notified from the communication control unit 102b that the count value of the timer unit 103 has timed out, the determination unit 107g determines whether the time-series data is generated by the time-series data generation unit 106. If the determination unit 107g determines that the time-series data is generated by the time-series data generation unit 106, the determination unit 107g stores the time-series data in the command table storage unit 114b and the command generation unit 115b. Output.
　コマンドテーブル記憶部１１４ｂは、種々の時系列データに対応して、コマンド生成部１１５ｂが生成する種々の家電操作コマンドをコマンドテーブルとして保存している。コマンド生成部１１５ｂは、コマンドテーブル記憶部１１４ｂに保存されているコマンドテーブルを用いて、時系列データ生成部１０６により生成された時系列データに対応する家電操作コマンドを生成する。コマンド生成部１１５ｂは、生成した家電操作コマンドを通信制御部１０２ｂに出力する。通信制御部１０２ｂは、さらに、コマンド生成部１１５ｂから出力された家電操作コマンドを、外部機器２ａの家電タグ２０１または家電タグ２０２に、近接無線通信部１０１を介して送信する。 The command table storage unit 114b stores various home appliance operation commands generated by the command generation unit 115b as a command table corresponding to various time-series data. The command generation unit 115b generates a home appliance operation command corresponding to the time series data generated by the time series data generation unit 106, using the command table stored in the command table storage unit 114b. The command generation unit 115b outputs the generated home appliance operation command to the communication control unit 102b. The communication control unit 102b further transmits the home appliance operation command output from the command generation unit 115b to the home appliance tag 201 or the home appliance tag 202 of the external device 2a via the proximity wireless communication unit 101.
　本実施形態において、家電タグ２０１が第１電子タグの一例に相当し、家電タグ２０２が第２電子タグの一例に相当し、外部機器２ａが外部装置の一例に相当し、携帯端末１ｇが携帯装置の一例に相当し、近接無線通信部１０１が通信部の一例に相当する。また、コマンド生成部１１５ｂ及び通信制御部１０２ｂが信号制御部の一例を構成し、家電操作コマンドが制御信号の一例に相当する。 In the present embodiment, the home appliance tag 201 corresponds to an example of a first electronic tag, the home appliance tag 202 corresponds to an example of a second electronic tag, the external device 2a corresponds to an example of an external device, and the portable terminal 1g is portable.

　図３２は、第８実施形態の携帯端末の動作を示すフローチャートである。図３３は、第８実施形態における、ポーリング信号に対する応答結果及び時系列データ生成部により生成される時系列データを示す図である。図３４は、第８実施形態のコマンドテーブル記憶部に保存されているコマンドテーブルを示す図である。以下、図３１～図３４を用いて、携帯端末１ｇの動作が説明される。 FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal of the eighth embodiment. FIG. 33 is a diagram illustrating a response result to the polling signal and time-series data generated by the time-series data generation unit in the eighth embodiment. FIG. 34 is a diagram illustrating a command table stored in the command table storage unit of the eighth embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation of the portable terminal 1g will be described with reference to FIGS.
　図３２において、まず、携帯端末１ｇにおいて第８実施形態のアプリケーションが起動されると、ポーリング部１０２２により、ポーリング信号の出力が開始される（ステップＳ１２１）。続いて、タイマー部１０３は、タイマーのカウント値をリセットする（ステップＳ１２２）。つまり、タイマー部１０３におけるカウント値は、ポーリング信号の出力開始時点からの経過時間になる。 32, first, when the application of the eighth embodiment is activated in the mobile terminal 1g, the polling unit 1022 starts outputting a polling signal (step S121). Subsequently, the timer unit 103 resets the count value of the timer (step S122). That is, the count value in the timer unit 103 is an elapsed time from the start of polling signal output.
　次いで、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、ポーリング信号に対する家電タグからの応答信号を受信したか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１２３）。応答信号を受信していなければ（ステップＳ１２３でＮＯ）、通信制御部１０２ｂは、タイマー部１０３によるカウント値がタイムアウトになったか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１２６）。タイムアウトになっていなければ（ステップＳ１２６でＮＯ）、ステップＳ１２１に戻る。 Next, the ID extraction unit 1021 determines whether or not a response signal from the home appliance tag for the polling signal has been received (step S123). If the response signal has not been received (NO in step S123), the communication control unit 102b determines whether or not the count value by the timer unit 103 has timed out (step S126). If not timed out (NO in step S126), the process returns to step S121.
　一方、ステップＳ１２３において、ポーリング信号に対する家電タグからの応答信号が受信されていれば（ステップＳ１２３でＹＥＳ）、ＩＤ抽出部１０２１は、ポーリング信号に対する応答に含まれている家電タグの識別情報（ＩＤ情報）を抽出し、判定部１０７ｇは、抽出されたＩＤ情報に基づき通信状態を判定する（ステップＳ１２４）。続いて、時系列データ生成部１０６は、判定部１０７ｇにより判定された通信状態に基づき、時系列データを更新する（ステップＳ１２５）。 On the other hand, if the response signal from the household appliance tag with respect to the polling signal is received in step S123 (YES in step S123), the ID extraction unit 1021 identifies the identification information (ID of the household appliance tag included in the response to the polling signal) Information) is extracted, and the determination unit 107g determines the communication state based on the extracted ID information (step S124). Subsequently, the time series data generation unit 106 updates the time series data based on the communication state determined by the determination unit 107g (step S125).
　一方、ステップＳ１２６において、タイムアウトになっていれば（ステップＳ１２６でＹＥＳ）、通信制御部１０２ｂは、タイムアウトになった旨を判定部１０７ｇに通知し、この通知に基づき、判定部１０７ｇは、時系列データ生成部１０６により時系列データが生成されているか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１２７）。時系列データが生成されていなければ（ステップＳ１２７でＮＯ）、判定部１０７ｇは、その旨をシステム制御部１０４に通知し、システム制御部１０４は、表示部１１０にエラーの表示画面を出力させて（ステップＳ１２８）、この動作を終了する。 On the other hand, if a timeout has occurred in step S126 (YES in step S126), the communication control unit 102b notifies the determination unit 107g that the timeout has occurred, and based on this notification, the determination unit 107g It is determined whether or not time series data is generated by the data generation unit 106 (step S127). If time-series data has not been generated (NO in step S127), the determination unit 107g notifies the system control unit 104 to that effect, and the system control unit 104 causes the display unit 110 to output an error display screen. (Step S128), this operation is terminated.
　一方、ステップＳ１２７において、時系列データが生成されていれば（ステップＳ１２７でＹＥＳ）、判定部１０７ｇは、時系列データ生成部１０６に時系列データをコマンドテーブル記憶部１１４ｂ及びコマンド生成部１１５ｂに出力させ、コマンド生成部１１５ｂは、時系列データと、コマンドテーブル記憶部１１４ｂに保存されているコマンドテーブルとを用いて、時系列データに対応する家電操作コマンドを生成する（ステップＳ１２９）。続いて、通信制御部１０２ｂは、コマンド生成部１１５ｂにより生成された家電操作コマンドを、家電タグ２０１または家電タグ２０２に送信して（ステップＳ１３０）、この動作を終了する。 On the other hand, if time series data has been generated in step S127 (YES in step S127), the determination unit 107g outputs the time series data to the time series data generation unit 106 to the command table storage unit 114b and the command generation unit 115b. The command generation unit 115b generates a home appliance operation command corresponding to the time series data using the time series data and the command table stored in the command table storage unit 114b (step S129). Subsequently, the communication control unit 102b transmits the home appliance operation command generated by the command generation unit 115b to the home appliance tag 201 or the home appliance tag 202 (step S130), and ends this operation.
　例えば、図３３において、ポーリング信号Ｐ１～Ｐ４に対する応答は、順に、「応答なし」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」である。続くポーリング信号Ｐ１１～Ｐ１６に対する応答は、順に、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ１」、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「応答なし」、「識別情報ＩＤ１及びＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。上述のように、この第８実施形態では、携帯端末１ｇはアンチコリジョン機能を有する。したがって、１回のポーリング信号の出力に対して、複数の家電タグ２０１，２０２からの応答が識別可能になっている。続くポーリング信号Ｐ２１～Ｐ２３に対する応答は、順に、「識別情報ＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」、「識別情報ＩＤ２」である。 For example, in FIG. 33, responses to polling signals P1 to P4 are “no response”, “identification information ID1”, “identification information ID1”, and “identification information ID1” in this order. The subsequent responses to the polling signals P11 to P16 are “identification information ID1 and ID2”, “identification information ID1”, “identification information ID1 and ID2”, “no response”, “identification information ID1 and ID2”, and “identification information”. ID2 ". As described above, in the eighth embodiment, the mobile terminal 1g has an anti-collision function. Therefore, the responses from the plurality of home appliance tags 201 and 202 can be identified with respect to the output of one polling signal. The subsequent responses to the polling signals P21 to P23 are “identification information ID2”, “identification information ID2”, and “identification information ID2” in this order.
　以上の応答結果から、時系列データ生成部１０６は、図３３に示されるように、識別情報を時系列に並べた「ＩＤ１→ＩＤ１＆ＩＤ２→ＩＤ２」の時系列データを生成する。図３４に示されるように、コマンドテーブル記憶部１１４ｂには、時系列データ「ＩＤ１→ＩＤ１＆ＩＤ２→ＩＤ２」に対応する家電操作コマンドとして、「洗濯／乾燥開始」が保存されている。したがって、コマンド生成部１１５ｂは、「洗濯／乾燥開始」の家電操作コマンドを生成する。 From the response results described above, the time series data generation unit 106 generates time series data of “ID1 → ID1 & ID2 → ID2” in which the identification information is arranged in time series as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 34, “start washing / drying” is stored in the command table storage unit 114b as a home appliance operation command corresponding to the time series data “ID1 → ID1 & ID2 → ID2”. Therefore, the command generation unit 115b generates a home appliance operation command of “start washing / drying”.
　図３３に示される「ＩＤ１→ＩＤ１＆ＩＤ２→ＩＤ２」の時系列データは、ユーザが、携帯端末１ｇを、外部機器２ａの左方に配設された家電タグ２０１（図３）に近接させた後、携帯端末１ｇが外部機器２ａに近接している状態を維持して右方にスライドさせて、外部機器２ａの右方に配設された家電タグ２０２（図３）に近接させる動作を行ったことを示している。なお、「左方」、「右方」は、２つの家電タグの間の相対的な左右を表現している。 The time-series data “ID1 → ID1 & ID2 → ID2” shown in FIG. 33 is obtained after the user brings the mobile terminal 1g close to the home appliance tag 201 (FIG. 3) disposed on the left side of the external device 2a. The mobile terminal 1g is maintained in the state of being close to the external device 2a, and is slid to the right, and the mobile terminal 1g is moved close to the home appliance tag 202 (FIG. 3) disposed on the right of the external device 2a. Is shown. “Left” and “right” represent the relative left and right between the two home appliance tags.
　一方、例えば図３４に示される家電操作コマンド「洗濯のみ開始」に対応する「ＩＤ１→ＩＤ２」の時系列データは、ユーザが、携帯端末１ｇを、外部機器２ａの左方に配設された家電タグ２０１（図３）に近接させた後、携帯端末１ｇを、一旦、外部機器２ａから離し、その後に、携帯端末１ｇを外部機器２ａの右方に配設された家電タグ２０２（図３）に近接させる動作を行ったことを示している。 On the other hand, the time series data of “ID1 → ID2” corresponding to the home appliance operation command “start washing only” shown in FIG. 34, for example, is a home appliance in which the user places the portable terminal 1g on the left side of the external device 2a. After being brought close to the tag 201 (FIG. 3), the mobile terminal 1g is once separated from the external device 2a, and then the home appliance tag 202 (FIG. 3) disposed on the right side of the external device 2a. This indicates that an operation of bringing the object close to the device has been performed.
　また、図３４に示される家電操作コマンド「洗濯槽クリーニング」に対応する「ＩＤ１→ＩＤ２→ＩＤ１」の時系列データは、ユーザが、携帯端末１ｇを、外部機器２ａの左方に配設された家電タグ２０１（図３）に近接させた後、携帯端末１ｇを、一旦、外部機器２ａから離し、その後に携帯端末１ｇを外部機器２ａの右方に配設された家電タグ２０２（図３）に近接させ、その後に携帯端末１ｇを、一旦、外部機器２ａから離し、さらに、携帯端末１ｇを外部機器２ａの左方に配設された家電タグ２０１（図３）に近接させる動作を行ったことを示している。 Also, the time series data of “ID1 → ID2 → ID1” corresponding to the home appliance operation command “washing tub cleaning” shown in FIG. 34, the user placed the mobile terminal 1g on the left side of the external device 2a. After being brought close to the home appliance tag 201 (FIG. 3), the mobile terminal 1g is once separated from the external device 2a, and then the home device tag 202 (FIG. 3) disposed on the right side of the external device 2a. After that, the mobile terminal 1g is once separated from the external device 2a, and further, the mobile terminal 1g is moved close to the home appliance tag 201 (FIG. 3) disposed on the left side of the external device 2a. It is shown that.
