Description

コミュニケーションシステム、コミュニケーションプログラム、およびコミュニケーション処理方法Communication system, communication program, and communication processing method
 この発明は、例えば、ユーザ同士がユーザ端末を用いてコミュニケーションをとるようなコミュニケーションシステム、コミュニケーションプログラム、およびコミュニケーション処理方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a communication system, a communication program, and a communication processing method in which, for example, users communicate with each other using a user terminal.
 従来、ユーザが携帯する端末といえば携帯電話機であった。近年では、ユーザが携帯する端末が、電話機能に加えてインターネット機能や決済機能等の様々な機能が付与されたスマートフォンに移行してきている。このスマートフォンでは、電話によるコミュニケーションに加えて、メールによるコミュニケーションも行えるため、コミュニケーションの幅が広がっている。 Conventionally, a mobile phone is a terminal carried by a user. In recent years, a terminal carried by a user has shifted to a smartphone provided with various functions such as an Internet function and a payment function in addition to a telephone function. With this smartphone, in addition to communication by telephone, communication by e-mail is also possible, so the range of communication is expanding.
 そして、送信したメッセージと届いたメッセージをタイムラインに沿って確認でき、しかもメッセージが送信されると即座に受信するアプリケーションも提供されている。このようなアプリケーションは、比較的長文が用いられるメールに比べて短文でメッセージが送られることが多い。そして、ちょっとしたメッセージが届くとすぐに返信するような利用が行われている。このため、従来に比べてコミュニケーションのレスポンスタイミングが随分早くなっており、素早いレスポンスが望まれるようになってきている。 And there is also an application that can confirm the sent message and the received message along the timeline, and receive it immediately when the message is sent. In such an application, a message is often sent in a short text as compared to an email in which a relatively long text is used. And it is used to reply as soon as a small message arrives. For this reason, the response timing of communication is much earlier than before, and a quick response has been desired.
 このようなスマートフォンによるコミュニケーションに関する技術として、チャットサーバを用いてメッセージをやりとりするメッセージ送受信支援システムが提案されている(特許文献1参照)。このメッセージ送受信支援システムは、多用なコンテンツを利用して円滑なコミュニケーションを図れるようにすることを目的としている。そして、共有を指示されたコンテンツのリソース情報を特定する共有部と、前記リソース情報を含む会話ビューとを備えることで、コンテンツをメッセージに効率的に展開できるとされている。 A message transmission / reception support system for exchanging messages using a chat server has been proposed as a technology related to communication using such a smartphone (see Patent Document 1). This message transmission / reception support system is intended to enable smooth communication using a variety of contents.

 お絵かきリアルタイム処理部18は、ユーザ端末50のお絵かき機能部69によって描画された情報(パケット)を刻々とリアルタイムで受け取って接続相手にリアルタイムで送信する。また、接続相手の両方から同時に描画された場合、この両方の描画内容を描画前の画像に対して合成する合成処理を行ってから接続相手のお絵かき機能部69へ送信する。従って、お絵かきトークをしている利用者は、自分が描画している最中であっても相手の描画も同時に描かれ、1つのキャンパスに接続相手と一緒に描いているようにリアルタイムの描画を行える。 The drawing real-time processing unit 18 receives the information (packets) drawn by the drawing function unit 69 of the user terminal 50 in real time and transmits it to the connection partner in real time. Further, when drawing is performed simultaneously from both of the connection partners, a composition process for combining both of the drawing contents with the image before drawing is performed and then transmitted to the drawing function unit 69 of the connection partner. Therefore, a user who is having a drawing talk draws the drawing of the other party at the same time, even when he / she is drawing, and draws in real time as if he / she is drawing with one of the connected partners on one campus. Can be done.
 メインサーバ10(図2参照)の接続状態確認部19は、お絵かきリアルタイム処理部18によってユーザ端末50と双方向にやり取りしている応答状態を確認している。接続状態確認部19は、相手からの応答が所定時間無くなる、あるいは相手からの応答信号が不適切な信号になっている等、お絵かきトーク中であるユーザ端末50の1つが電波状態の悪いこと等に起因する応答不可状態であると判断すると、接続を切断し、お絵かきトークをしている他方のユーザ端末50(応答のある方のユーザ端末50)に対して、接続が切断されたことを通知する。 The connection state confirmation unit 19 of the main server 10 (see FIG. 2) confirms the response state in which the drawing real-time processing unit 18 is bi-directionally communicating with the user terminal 50. The connection state confirmation unit 19 indicates that one of the user terminals 50 during the drawing talk has a poor radio wave condition such that the response from the other party is lost for a predetermined time or the response signal from the other party is an inappropriate signal. If it is determined that the response is not possible due to, for example, the connection is disconnected, the connection is disconnected to the other user terminal 50 (the user terminal 50 with the response) that is performing the drawing talk. To be notified.
 接続断通知部62は、メインサーバ10からの通知を受けて、例えば「○○が退室しました。」というメッセージをユーザ端末50の画面上に表示する。この通知により、リアルタイムの通信が切断され、お絵かきトークでこちらが描いている描画内容が相手に伝わっていない状態であることをユーザに伝える。 The connection disconnection notification unit 62 receives the notification from the main server 10 and displays, for example, a message “XX has left the room” on the screen of the user terminal 50. By this notification, the real-time communication is cut off, and the user is informed that the drawing contents drawn by the drawing talk are not transmitted to the other party.
 お絵かきトーク画面170(図4(B)参照)で通話操作ボタン173が選択されると、通話開始処理部71(図2参照)は、メインサーバ10とは別に設けられた通話サーバ30に通話依頼信号を送信し、通話機能部73による通話状態へ移行する。このとき、接続相手が通話許可して通話接続が完了するまで、「相手の応答を待っています。」等の接続待ちメッセージを画面上に表示する。 When the call operation button 173 is selected on the drawing talk screen 170 (see FIG. 4B), the call start processing unit 71 (see FIG. 2) calls the call server 30 provided separately from the main server 10. A request signal is transmitted, and the call function unit 73 shifts to a call state. At this time, a connection waiting message such as “Waiting for a response from the other party” is displayed on the screen until the connection partner permits the call and the call connection is completed.
 通話サーバ30は、アドレス割り当て部37により、通話要求してきたユーザ端末50と、その接続相手となっている相手側のユーザ端末50に対して、一時的アドレスをそれぞれ割り当てる。このアドレスによって通話相手を特定することで、双方向の通話を可能としている。すなわち、相手側の電話番号を知らなくても、その都度割り当てられるアドレスを用いてIP電話による通話が可能となる。また、アドレス割り当て部37は、接続相手のユーザ端末50に通話要求があることを通知する。 The call server 30 uses the address assignment unit 37 to assign temporary addresses to the user terminal 50 that has requested the call and to the user terminal 50 that is the connection partner. By specifying the other party by this address, two-way communication is possible. That is, even if the telephone number of the other party is not known, the IP telephone call can be performed using the address assigned each time. In addition, the address assignment unit 37 notifies the connection partner user terminal 50 that there is a call request.
 この通知を受けたユーザ端末50は、図4(C)に示すように、お絵かきトーク画面170に着信中メッセージ191を表示し、着信中であること(通話要求が来て電話のコール状態であること)をユーザに知らせる。このとき、ユーザ端末50は、操作案内メッセージ192も表示し、通話操作ボタン173を選択することで通話開始できること、通話中もお絵かきトークは継続して利用できることをユーザに知らせる。 Upon receiving this notification, as shown in FIG. 4C, the user terminal 50 displays an incoming call message 191 on the drawing talk screen 170, indicating that the incoming call is being received (a call request is received and the call is in a call state). To the user) At this time, the user terminal 50 also displays an operation guidance message 192 and notifies the user that the call can be started by selecting the call operation button 173 and that the drawing talk can be used continuously during the call.
 通話サーバ30の通話リアルタイム処理部38は、アドレス割り当て部37で割り当てられたアドレスのユーザ端末50との間で通話信号(パケット)を送受信し、通話を実施する。この通話リアルタイム処理部38は、IP-PBX(Intenet Protocol Private Branch eXchange)の機能を有しており、通話の中継を実現している。 The call real-time processing unit 38 of the call server 30 transmits and receives a call signal (packet) to and from the user terminal 50 at the address assigned by the address assigning unit 37 to perform a call. The call real-time processing unit 38 has an IP-PBX (Internet Protocol Private Branch eXchange) function, and realizes call relaying.
 ユーザ端末50の通話機能部73は、通話サーバ30を介した接続相手のユーザ端末50との通話(電話)を実行する。この通話中のとき、お絵かきトーク画面170(図4(D)参照)は、通話操作ボタン173の形状および色を変更して、通話中であることをユーザに知らせる。このとき、通話機能部73と並列にお絵かき機能部69も動作しているため、ユーザ端末50は、通話とお絵かきの両方を同時にリアルタイムに送受信できる。従って、図4(D)に示すようにお絵かき部175に描画しながら口頭で説明するといったことができる。 The call function unit 73 of the user terminal 50 executes a call (telephone) with the user terminal 50 of the connection partner via the call server 30. During the call, the drawing talk screen 170 (see FIG. 4D) changes the shape and color of the call operation button 173 to notify the user that the call is in progress. At this time, since the drawing function unit 69 is also operating in parallel with the call function unit 73, the user terminal 50 can simultaneously transmit and receive both calls and drawing in real time. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4D, it can be verbally explained while drawing on the drawing unit 175.
 通話サーバ30(図2参照)の電波状態確認部39は、ユーザ端末50との電波状態を確認する。すなわち、電波状態が良好であると通話が良好に成立するが、電波状態がある程度悪くなると通話の音が途切れる等の状態が発生し、さらに電波状態が悪くなると通話ができなくなる。このため、ユーザ端末50の電波状態を常時確認している。 The radio wave state confirmation unit 39 of the call server 30 (see FIG. 2) confirms the radio wave state with the user terminal 50. That is, if the radio wave condition is good, the call is successfully established, but if the radio wave condition gets worse to some extent, a state in which the sound of the call is interrupted occurs, and if the radio wave condition gets worse, the call cannot be made. For this reason, the radio wave state of the user terminal 50 is constantly confirmed.
 通話切断部41は、電波状態確認部39で確認している電波状態が所定状態より悪くなると、通話の切断を実行する。この所定状態は、完全に通話不可となった状態ではなく、それより前の通話が少々困難になっている電波状態としている。すなわち、電波が完全に遮断されていなくても、ある程度悪くなっている状態(例えば、スマートフォンの機能による電波状態を示すアンテナ表示がフルでもゼロでもなく3本中1本または2本となっている状態など)であると、パケットロス等が発生し始めるため、画面上は通話継続中に見えるにもかかわらず音声が届かないことが生じる。本実施形態では、お絵かきトークをしながら通話も行うため、通常の音声通話のみの電話と違い、音声が届いていないことに気づきにくい。つまり、お絵かきトークのリアルタイム処理が正常動作しながら通話音声が届かないといった状況が生じると、ユーザは音声が届いていないとは思わない。このため、こちらが言ったことを相手が無視して(実際には音声が届いていない)お絵かきトークでの描画を続けているような状態が生じ得る。このような状況を避けるため、パケットロス等によって音声が届かない状況の発生し得る電波状態になると、通話切断部41が強制的に通話を切断し、一時的にユーザ端末50に付与していたアドレスを解放する。 The call disconnecting unit 41 disconnects the call when the radio wave state confirmed by the radio wave state confirmation unit 39 becomes worse than a predetermined state. This predetermined state is not a state in which the call is completely disabled, but a radio wave state in which a previous call is somewhat difficult. In other words, even if the radio wave is not completely cut off, it is in a state where it has deteriorated to some extent (for example, the antenna display indicating the radio wave state due to the function of the smartphone is not full or zero, and is one or two of the three In such a case, packet loss or the like starts to occur, so that the voice may not reach even though the screen appears while the call is continuing. In the present embodiment, since a call is also made while having a drawing talk, it is difficult to notice that the voice has not arrived, unlike a telephone with only a normal voice call. That is, when a situation occurs in which the call voice does not arrive while the real-time processing of the drawing talk is operating normally, the user does not think that the voice has not arrived. For this reason, there may be a situation in which the other party ignores what is said here (no audio actually arrives) and continues drawing with a drawing talk. In order to avoid such a situation, when the radio wave state where the voice cannot reach due to packet loss or the like is generated, the call disconnecting unit 41 forcibly disconnects the call and temporarily gives it to the user terminal 50 Release the address.
 このときアドレスを解放することによって、使われないアドレスが割り当て不可状態で残り続けてアドレスが枯渇することを防止している。通話切断部41は、通話が切断されたことを通話の接続をしていた全て(2人通話であれば2人、グループ通話であればグループ全員)のユーザ端末50に通知する。 At this time, by releasing the address, it is possible to prevent the address from being exhausted due to the unused address remaining unallocated. The call disconnecting unit 41 notifies the user terminals 50 of all the connected terminals (2 persons for a two-party call and all the groups for a group call) that the call has been disconnected.
 ユーザ端末50の通話断通知部63は、通話サーバ30からの通知を受けて、図5(A)に示すように「無料通話を終了しました。」というメッセージをユーザ端末50の画面上に表示する。この通知により、リアルタイムの通話が切断され、会話が相手に伝わっていない状態であることをユーザに伝えるとともに、リアルタイムのお絵かきトークは継続する。 In response to the notification from the call server 30, the call disconnection notification unit 63 of the user terminal 50 displays a message “Free call ended” on the screen of the user terminal 50 as shown in FIG. To do. This notification informs the user that the real-time call is disconnected and the conversation is not being transmitted to the other party, and the real-time drawing talk continues.
 また、上述した通話サーバ30(図2参照)の電波状態確認部39は、電波状態が悪くなって通話が成立しない接続断状態になった場合、通話中であるユーザ端末50の1つが電波状態の悪いこと等に起因する応答不可状態であると判断すると、接続を切断し、通話をしている他方のユーザ端末50(応答のある方のユーザ端末50)に対して、通話の接続が切断されたことを通知する。この状態のときは、メインサーバ10の接続状態確認部19においても応答不可状態であると判断して接続を切断することになるから、お絵かきトークと通話の両方が接続断となる。このため、ユーザ端末50には、図5(B)に示すように、「相手の接続を待っています」といった接続待機メッセージ196と、お絵かきトークと通話が終了したことを示す「○○が退室し無料通話も終了しました」といった全リアルタイム処理終了メッセージ197を表示する。またこのとき、通話切断されたユーザ端末50の通話操作ボタン173の形状と色も通話していない状態の表示に戻す。なお、図示の例はグループでお絵かきトークおよび通話をしていた場合の例であり、そのグループ内の一人の通信が切断されたことを表示している。 Further, the radio wave state confirmation unit 39 of the above-described call server 30 (see FIG. 2) indicates that one of the user terminals 50 that is in a call is If it is determined that the response is not possible due to badness or the like, the connection is disconnected and the connection of the call is disconnected with respect to the other user terminal 50 (the user terminal 50 with the response) that is making a call Notify that In this state, since the connection state confirmation unit 19 of the main server 10 also determines that the response is impossible and disconnects, both the drawing talk and the call are disconnected. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5B, the user terminal 50 has a connection waiting message 196 such as “Waiting for connection of the other party” and “○○ indicating that the drawing talk and the call have ended. An all-real-time processing end message 197 is displayed, such as “Exiting the room and terminating the free call”. At this time, the shape and color of the call operation button 173 of the user terminal 50 that has been disconnected is also returned to the display indicating that no call is in progress. The example shown in the figure is an example in the case where a drawing talk and a telephone call are made in a group, and displays that one person in the group has been disconnected.
 ユーザ端末50において、通話中に通話操作ボタン173(図4(D)参照)が選択されると、通話終了処理部72(図2参照)は、通話を終了して通話相手のユーザ端末50に通話終了を通知するとともに、通話操作ボタン173の形状と色も通話していない状態の表示に戻す。 When the call operation button 173 (see FIG. 4D) is selected during a call on the user terminal 50, the call end processing unit 72 (see FIG. 2) ends the call and informs the user terminal 50 of the call partner. In addition to notifying the end of the call, the shape and color of the call operation button 173 is returned to the display indicating that no call is being made.
 図5(C)は、接続相手のユーザがユーザ端末50において通話を許可しない設定にしている場合のお絵かきトーク画面170を示している。この場合、通話操作ボタン173は、バツ(×)を表示する等、通話不可であることを示す表示を行う。 FIG. 5C shows a drawing talk screen 170 when the user of the connection partner is set not to allow a call on the user terminal 50. In this case, the call operation button 173 displays a message indicating that the call is not possible, such as displaying a cross (x).
 以上の構成及び動作により、早いレスポンスで幅広い手段を通じて円滑なコミュニケーションをとることのできるコミュニケーションシステム1を提供することができ、ユーザの満足度を向上させることができる。 With the above-described configuration and operation, it is possible to provide the communication system 1 that can perform smooth communication through a wide range of means with a quick response, and improve the user satisfaction.
 お絵かきトークや通話では、メッセージを入力し完成させてから送信ボタンを押して送信するようなコミュニケーションとは異なり、描画の開始と共に描画の軌跡に沿って相手側のユーザ端末50にもリアルタイムで表示されていき、また会話もリアルタイムで相手に届くため、非常に緊密なコミュニケーションをとることができる。 Unlike the communication in which a message is entered and completed and then sent by pressing the send button in a drawing talk or a call, it is displayed in real time on the user terminal 50 on the other side along the drawing trajectory as the drawing starts. Because conversations reach the other party in real time, you can communicate very closely.
 メッセージの送受信やお絵かきトークの後に通話を開始できるようにしているため、音の無いコミュニケーションをしてから音のあるコミュニケーションに移行することができる。これにより、通話しようと思ったら相手が声を出して話せない状況であった場合など、無音で通話要求と通話拒否のやりとりをし、かつ、通話できない理由を伝えるといったことができる。これにより、お互いのその時の状況に応じた円滑なコミュニケーションを図ることができる。 Since the call can be started after message transmission / reception or drawing talk, it is possible to shift to communication with sound after communication without sound. As a result, when a caller wants to make a call, for example, when the other party cannot speak aloud, the call request and call rejection can be performed silently, and the reason why the call cannot be made can be communicated. Thereby, the smooth communication according to the situation at the time of each other can be aimed at.
 また、お絵かきトークをして接続相手と無音のリアルタイムコミュニケーションを取っている状態から、通話による音ありのリアルタイムコミュニケーションを追加できるため、通話の要求があって出られない状況であっても、無音でお絵かきトークによって今は通話できないといったことを知らせることができる。このように通話できない理由を即座に伝えられるため、円滑なコミュニケーションをとることができる。 In addition, since you can add real-time communication with sound by calling from a state where you have a drawing talk and have silent real-time communication with the connection partner, even if there is a call request and you can not get out, it will be silent With Drawing Talk, you can tell that you can't talk now. In this way, the reason why the call cannot be made can be immediately communicated, so that smooth communication can be achieved.
 また、お絵かきトークから通話を追加する際、通話要求を受けたユーザ端末50では無音のメッセージにて通話を受けるか確認するため、音を出さずに通話可否を決定することができる。このため、例えば会議中等の電話に出られない状況で通話要求が届いても、手元の操作で音を出さずに通話要求をキャンセルし、さらにお絵かきトークで今は難しいことを無音で伝える、あるいはメッセージ表示画面130に戻ってメッセージで今は難しいことを無音で伝えることができる。 In addition, when adding a call from a drawing talk, the user terminal 50 that has received a call request can determine whether or not the call can be made without making a sound in order to confirm whether or not to receive the call with a silent message. For this reason, for example, even if a call request arrives in a situation where you can not answer the call, such as during a conference, cancel the call request without making a sound with the operation at hand, and further silently tell you what is currently difficult with drawing talk, Alternatively, it is possible to return silently to the message display screen 130 and silently convey what is currently difficult with a message.
 また、電波状態がある程度悪くなると、お絵かきトークを継続しつつ通話を終了するため、こちらの会話が相手に届いていないと思わずにコミュニケーションを続けようとするといった状態を防止できる。 Also, if the radio wave condition deteriorates to some extent, the call is terminated while continuing the drawing talk, so it is possible to prevent a situation in which communication is continued without thinking that this conversation has not reached the other party.
 また、通話依頼のある毎にアドレスを一時的に割り当て、通話が切断されるとアドレスを解放する構成であるため、ユーザ毎に予めアドレスを割り当てる必要がなく、アドレスの枯渇を防止することができる。また、一時的なアドレスを用いて通話を実現するため、相手の電話番号等を知らなくても通話できる。従って、例えば2人でお絵かきトークと通話を行っていて、一人は知っているがもう一人は知らない人をコミュニケーションに追加するときに、電話番号を知らせたりせずとも追加したい人を招待して3者通話を行うことができる。 In addition, since the address is temporarily assigned every time a call request is made and the address is released when the call is disconnected, there is no need to assign an address in advance for each user, and address depletion can be prevented. . Further, since the call is realized using a temporary address, the call can be made without knowing the other party's telephone number. So, for example, when two people are talking to a drawing talk and adding one person who knows but not the other person to the communication, invite the person who wants to add without telling the phone number. Can make a three-party call.
 また、メインサーバ10と通話サーバ30を別のサーバとしたため、パケット量の集中を回避してリアルタイム処理が遅くなることを防止できる。 In addition, since the main server 10 and the call server 30 are separate servers, it is possible to avoid the concentration of the packet amount and prevent the real-time processing from being delayed.
 このようにして、リアルタイム性が高くコミュニケーション手段の幅が広いコミュニケーションシステム1を提供できる。特に、コミュニケーションシステム1は、触覚と視覚、および聴覚によるコミュニケーションを同時に処理でき、しかも、これを手のひらで持つ携帯型の情報端末で実現することができる。 In this way, it is possible to provide the communication system 1 with high real-time characteristics and wide communication means. In particular, the communication system 1 can simultaneously process tactile, visual, and auditory communication, and can be realized by a portable information terminal that has the palm.
 また、コミュニケーションシステム1は、作成し終えたメッセージや写真等を送受信するメッセージのやり取りをしている途中からリアルタイムのお絵かきトークに移行できるため、ユーザ感覚としての応答速度を速めて緊密なコミュニケーションに移行できる。さらに、お絵かきトークを継続しながら通話も同時に開始できるため、描画によるリアルタイムのコミュニケーションと話すこと(音声)によるリアルタイムのコミュニケーションを同時並行にとることができ、幅広い手段を用いて相手のレスポンスがリアルタイムに得られる非常に緊密なコミュニケーションをとることができる。 In addition, since the communication system 1 can shift to a real-time drawing talk from the middle of exchanging messages for sending and receiving messages and photos that have been created, the communication system 1 can increase the response speed as a user sense for close communication. Can be migrated. In addition, since the conversation can be started at the same time as the drawing talk continues, real-time communication by drawing and real-time communication by speaking (voice) can be performed simultaneously, and the response of the other party is real-time using a wide range of means. You can get the very close communication you get.
