Description

  The present invention relates to an information receiving apparatus, and more particularly, to an information reception notification operation when information with high urgency is received.

  An information receiving device, for example, a mobile communication terminal device receives a received voice, an e-mail, and receives a broadcast (hereinafter, the broadcast will be described as a digital television broadcast, but is not limited to the broadcast, but an analog television broadcast and a radio broadcast. Information is received by means such as In order to receive the received voice, the user of the device needs to make an incoming call or an incoming call, but if an answering machine is set, it is received and recorded without the user's operation.

  The e-mail can be received without any user operation. The broadcast is normally received by an operation by the user, but the broadcast may be automatically received without the user's operation by receiving the emergency warning broadcast when in the standby state.

  When information is received without any operation by the user, the device notifies the user of the device to that effect. For example, prior to the reception and recording of the answering voice of the answering machine, the incoming call is notified, and if the recording is made, the fact that the incoming voice is recorded is notified. When an e-mail is received, an incoming e-mail is notified. When the broadcast is received by the emergency warning broadcast, the device displays the received broadcast video and notifies the user by outputting sound.

  Since these notification operations may be annoying to people around the device, the user of the device, for example, stops the notification by ringing the ring tone and only performs the notification by vibration of the vibrator. May be. Here, it is assumed that people around the device do not include users of the device. However, if the received information is highly urgent information, it is desirable to reduce the possibility that the user will not notice the notification.

  Therefore, when an e-mail is received and the received e-mail includes a predetermined keyword, it is determined that the e-mail has a high degree of urgency, and notification is easily made. It is known to notify an incoming e-mail by means different from the case where no e-mail is received (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Also, when an emergency warning broadcast is received when no broadcast is received by the user and it is determined that the device is located in an area related to the emergency warning broadcast, a warning sound is sounded. A process for displaying a broadcast video is known (for example, see Patent Document 2).
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2006-72755 (second page, FIG. 7) JP 2007-81516 A (page 2-3, FIG. 3)

  However, in the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, even if an e-mail with a high degree of urgency is received, the operation of notifying the arrival of the e-mail is annoying for people around the device. There was a problem in which it was not considered whether there was an advantage over it.

  Further, in the method disclosed in Patent Document 2 described above, even if an emergency alert broadcast related to the region where the device is located is received, the broadcast is immediately received by the emergency alert broadcast, and the user of the device In addition, there is a problem that it is not considered whether or not it is necessary to be viewed by people around the device.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and when receiving information, whether or not the information has a high degree of urgency, and the degree of influence of the information on people around the device. An object of the present invention is to provide an information receiving apparatus that selects a method for notifying reception of information depending on whether the information is high.

  In order to achieve the above object, the information receiving apparatus according to the present invention determines an influence index that is a degree of influence on people around the apparatus of the received information, and determines the received information for the user of the apparatus. The first notification means is operated depending on the index judgment means for judging the emergency index which is the degree of emergency, the influence index judged by the index judgment means, and the emergency index judged by the index judgment means. And a notification control means for operating the second notification means depending on the emergency index determined by the index determination means.

  According to the present invention, when receiving information, depending on whether the information has a high degree of urgency and whether the information has a high influence on people around the device, A method of notifying reception can be selected.

  Embodiments of an information receiving apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a mobile communication terminal apparatus to which an information receiving apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

  This mobile communication terminal apparatus includes a control unit 11 that controls the entire apparatus, an antenna 12a that transmits and receives radio waves to and from a base station (not shown), a communication unit 12b, a transmission / reception unit 13, and a received voice.

An emergency information notification setting 24 a is stored in the notification method selection unit 24.

  The operation of each part of the mobile communication terminal apparatus configured as described above according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The communication unit 12b outputs the high-frequency signal received by the antenna 12a to the transmission / reception unit 13, and transmits the high-frequency signal output from the transmission / reception unit 13 from the antenna 12a.

  The transmission / reception unit 13 amplifies, frequency-converts and demodulates the high-frequency signal from the communication unit 12b, thereby obtaining a digital signal, and transmits the obtained call voice signal to the call unit 14c and the control signal including the incoming signal to the control unit 11, the received e-mail is sent to the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22.

  Further, the transmission / reception unit 13 receives the digital signal, that is, the call voice signal output from the call unit 14c, the control signal output from the control unit 11, and the transmitted e-mail output from the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22. Modulation, frequency conversion and amplification are performed to obtain a high frequency signal, which is sent to the communication unit 12b for transmission.

  The call unit 14c converts the digital audio signal output from the transmission / reception unit 13 into an analog audio signal, amplifies it, and sends the analog audio signal to the speaker 14a. The analog audio signal output from the microphone 14 b is amplified, converted into a digital audio signal, and transmitted to the transmission / reception unit 13.

  The display unit 15 is, for example, an LCD, and performs display operation of characters / numbers and video data under the control of the control unit 11. The displayed data is input operation or incoming signal from the input device 16. In response to an instruction from the control unit 11.

  The input device 16 includes a key including a numeric key and a plurality of function keys for designating a telephone number of the communication partner and for creating an electronic mail to be transmitted. When the key of the input device 16 is operated, the identifier of the key is notified to the control unit 11 and displayed on the display unit 15 as characters or controlled by the control unit 11.

  When the incoming call signal is received and the incoming call operation is not performed by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 for a predetermined time thereafter, the answering machine unit 21 starts an operation according to an instruction from the control unit 11. Then, the incoming call signal is received, a predetermined message stored in the answering machine unit 21 is transmitted to the transmission / reception unit 13 as a transmission voice, and then the received voice received by the transmission / reception unit 13 is sent to the answering machine unit. It memorizes in 21. When the call is disconnected, the control unit 11 is notified that the received voice has been stored.

  The e-mail transmission / reception unit 22 is a processing unit that performs transmission / reception of e-mails. When a user operates a predetermined key of the input device 16, an e-mail transmission operation is started according to an instruction from the control unit 11. .

  Subsequently, the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22 creates an e-mail (transmission e-mail) composed of the e-mail destination e-mail address and the text data in accordance with the key identifier transmitted from the input device 16. Then, the generated transmission mail is transmitted to the transmission / reception unit 13. This transmission mail is transmitted to a mail server device (not shown) via the communication unit 12b, the antenna 12a, and the base station.

  The e-mail transmission / reception unit 22 receives an e-mail (received e-mail) transmitted from the mail server device and received by the transmission / reception unit 13 in response to an instruction from the control unit 11 when an e-mail incoming signal is received. To do. Then, the received mail is stored in the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22 and the operation is terminated.

  Further, the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22 operates the predetermined key of the input device 16 to operate the display unit 15 to display a list of received mails stored in the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22 according to an instruction from the control unit 11. Send and display. Then, one of the received mails is selected by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, and the selected received mail is sent to the display unit 15 for display. With this operation, the user can read the received mail.

  The broadcast receiving unit 23 is a processing unit that receives a digital television broadcast, and starts or ends one of the following two operations according to an instruction from the control unit 11. The first operation is a standby operation, and selects a high-frequency signal of a predetermined channel from high-frequency broadcast signals received by an antenna provided in the broadcast receiving unit 23. Then, the selected high-frequency signal is converted into an intermediate-frequency signal, and the control signal is examined to detect whether or not an emergency warning signal has been received.

  When it is detected that the emergency alert signal has been received during the standby operation, the broadcast receiving unit 23 notifies the control unit 11 to that effect. During the first operation, the broadcast receiving unit 23 does not display the video signal and characters on the display unit 15 and does not generate an audio signal from the speaker 26.

  Here, the predetermined channel is a channel for broadcasting an emergency warning signal. Therefore, a channel broadcast by the Japan Broadcasting Corporation designated as a designated public institution based on the Disaster Countermeasure Basic Act is appropriate, but it is not limited to this. It may be a channel designated by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16.

  The second operation of the broadcast receiving unit 23 is a normal reception operation, in which the selected high-frequency signal is converted into an intermediate-frequency signal, and the converted signal is demodulated to demodulate the encoded television broadcast content. Get. Here, the television broadcast content is a signal encoded by the MPEG system, but is not limited thereto.

  The broadcast receiving unit 23 decodes the obtained television broadcast content and causes the display unit 15 to display the decoded video signal. In addition, the decoded audio signal is generated from the speaker 26. In addition, when character information is included in the television broadcast content, the character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  Here, the brightness at the time of display on the display unit 15 and the volume at the time of generation from the speaker 26 are based on an instruction from the control unit 11, and the instruction is based on a predetermined key operation of the normal input device 16. During the second operation, the broadcast receiving unit 23 detects whether or not the emergency alarm signal described in the first operation has been received, and if detected, notifies the control unit 11 accordingly. The operation is also performed.

  The notification method selection unit 24 performs a notification operation according to an instruction from the control unit 11. At the time of this instruction, an event to be notified is received as a parameter. The event is any one of reception of the incoming call signal by the transmission / reception unit 13, recording by the answering machine unit 21, reception of the incoming mail by the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22, and reception of the emergency alert signal by the broadcast reception unit 23.

  In addition, when the notification operation instruction is continuously performed, the notification method selection unit 24 performs the notification operation based on both instructions when the notification operation according to each instruction is not exclusive. On the other hand, in the case of exclusive, in the notification operation according to each instruction, a notification operation that is easy for the user of the device or people around the device to notice is performed. Alternatively, when there is a new instruction, the notification operation based on the instruction before the instruction is terminated, and the notification operation based on the new instruction is performed.

  The notification method selection unit 24 notifies these events by one or more of generating sound from the speaker 26, vibrating the vibrator 27, and lighting the notification lamp 28. Here, the details of the notification method, that is, the sound to be generated, the vibration pattern, and the lighting pattern follow the emergency information notification setting 24a. In addition to the above, the notification method selection unit 24 notifies the event by causing the display unit 15 to display the event.

  The notification method selection unit 24 is one of the event recorded by the answering machine unit 21, the received mail is received by the e-mail transmitting / receiving unit 22, and the emergency alert signal is received by the broadcast receiving unit 23. , The recorded voice signal, the received mail received, and the received emergency alert signal are analyzed to determine the impact level and the urgency level. Then, a notification method is selected according to the obtained influence level and urgency level.

  The positioning unit 25 is a processing unit that measures positioning, that is, a processing unit that measures the latitude, longitude, and altitude (height from the sea surface) at which the device is located, and starts its operation in response to an instruction from the control unit 11. Then, radio waves transmitted from a plurality of GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites are received, and positioning is performed from the time when the radio waves are received and the orbits of the satellites. Here, the positioning unit 25 provides information on GPS satellites sent from the positioning server device (not shown) via the transmission / reception unit 13 for positioning, for example, the identifier of the satellite to be used, the orbit of the satellite, and the like. It may be used.

  Hereinafter, the notification method selection unit 24 of the mobile communication terminal device according to the embodiment of the present invention determines the influence level and the urgency level of the information received by the device, and appropriately reports according to the determined influence level and the urgency level. A process for selecting and notifying a method will be described.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the emergency information notification setting 24 a stored in the notification method selection unit 24. The emergency information notification setting 24a includes information associated with an influence level 24b, an emergency level 24c, a notification sound 24d from a speaker, a vibration 24e of a vibrator, and a lighting 24f of a notification lamp.

  In FIG. 2, the impact level 24b, the emergency level 24c, the notification sound 24d from the speaker, the vibration 24e of the vibrator, and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp are continuously stored and associated with nine groups. However, this is for ease of understanding and is not limited to this.

  The degree of influence 24b is an index indicating the level of influence of information received by the device on people around the device. The degree of influence 24b is a value of any one of three levels “A”, “B”, and “C” from the highest to the lowest index indicating the level of influence. The urgency 24c is an index indicating the level of urgency of the information received by the device with respect to the user of the device. The degree of urgency 24c is a value of one of three levels of “a”, “b”, and “c” from the highest to the lowest indicating the level of emergency. The influence level 24b and the urgency level 24c are not limited to any one of three levels. Any of four or more levels may be used, or any of two levels may be used.

  The notification sound 24d from the speaker is an attribute of the notification sound generated from the speaker 26. In FIG. 2, the notification sound 24d indicates the volume, and is one of “maximum” and “medium” values. is not. For example, it may be a natural number and a value with which the volume is specified in several stages. Moreover, the file name of the file (not shown) in which the notification sound is stored may be included. Moreover, the time for generating the notification sound may be included. Furthermore, when the generation of the notification sound is performed intermittently, the time when it is generated and the time when it is not generated may be included.

  The vibration 24e of the vibrator is an attribute of the vibration of the vibrator 27. In FIG. 2, the vibration is one of the values of “continuous vibration” and “intermittent vibration”, but is not limited thereto. For example, the strength of vibration may be included. Moreover, the identifier of the vibration pattern may be included. Furthermore, the time for generating vibration may be included. Moreover, in intermittent vibration, the time which is vibrated and the time which is not vibrated may be included.

  The notification lamp lighting 24f is an attribute of lighting of the notification lamp 28. In FIG. 2, the lighting is one of “continuous lighting” and “intermittent lighting”, but the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, lighting brightness, lighting color, and temporal change in color may be included. Moreover, the identifier of the blinking pattern may be included. Furthermore, the lighting time may be included. Moreover, in intermittent lighting, the time to be lit and the time not to be lit may be included.

  In FIG. 2, “*” indicates that the influence level 24b is “C” and the urgency level 24c is “c”, that is, when the information from the low impact level and the low urgency level is received. The attribute of the notification sound 24d, the attribute of the vibration 24e of the vibrator, and the attribute of the lighting 24f of the notification lamp are shown.

  The attributes stored in the notification sound 24d from the speaker of the emergency information notification setting 24a, the vibration 24e of the vibrator, and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp are set by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, and the notification method selection unit 24 Stored in. In FIG. 2, the attribute for notifying that low impact and low urgency information is received, indicated by “*”, is similarly set by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16.

  Note that the attribute for notifying that the information of low influence level and low urgency level has been received may be set not to perform the notification operation. In particular, the attribute of the notification sound 24d from the speaker is often set unless the notification operation is performed so as not to bother people around the device.

  Note that the attributes stored in the notification sound 24d from the speaker, the vibration 24e of the vibrator, and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp may be different information depending on the event that triggered the notification. .

  In the emergency information notification setting 24a shown in FIG. 2, the notification sound 24d from the speaker depends on the influence level 24b and the emergency level 24c. Moreover, the vibration 24e of the vibrator and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp depend on the urgency 24c and do not depend on the influence 24b.

  This is because, for example, when the notification sound 24d from the speaker indicates a high volume, notification is given to the periphery of the device. In other words, people around the device can hear the notification sound and people around the device may feel annoying. Therefore, a loud sound notification sound generated from the speaker 26 is not allowed when the received information does not have a significant effect on people around the device. Therefore, it is essential that the notification sound 24d from the speaker depends on the influence level 24b.

  On the other hand, the fact that the notification sound 24d from the speaker depends on the urgency 24c and does not depend on the influence 24b is not allowed in order to avoid inconvenience to people around the device. This is because although urgent information has been received for the user of the device, it does not necessarily mean that the information is urgent information for people around the device.

  In the present embodiment, the notification sound 24d from the speaker is further made dependent on the urgency 24c. The urgency level 24c is an index indicating the level of urgency with respect to the user of the device, and the received information is used as an index indicating the level of urgency with respect to people around the device. This is to further reduce inconveniences that do not accompany the benefits.

  On the other hand, for example, when the vibration 24e of the vibrator indicates continuous operation and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp indicates continuous flashing, a notification that stops in the vicinity of the apparatus is performed. That is, the user of the device is more surely aware of the notification, while the people around the device are less likely to feel annoying the vibration of the vibrator 27 and the blinking of the notification lamp 28. This is because vibration of the vibrator 27 and lighting of the notification lamp 28 are suitable for notification when urgent information is received for the user of the apparatus.

  The vibration 24e of the vibrator and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp may depend not only on the urgency 24c but also on the influence 24b. The influence degree 24b is an index indicating the level of influence on people around the apparatus, and is used as an index indicating the level of influence on the user of the apparatus.

  Note that a notification method that depends on the degree of influence 24b, that is, a notification method that allows notification to people around the device when the degree of influence 24b is high, and a notification method that depends on the degree of emergency 24c, that is, the degree of emergency 24c. Is high, people around the device are unlikely to feel inconvenience, and the notification method for reliably informing the user of the device is not necessarily exclusive and not fixed.

  For example, in a theater, not only the loud sound of the notification sound from the speaker 26 but also the high-intensity lighting of the notification lamp 28 may be a notification to people around the device. Therefore, it is appropriate that the notification lamp lighting 24f is set depending on the influence level 24b, that is, the notification lamp when the notification to the people in the vicinity of the apparatus is allowed to be turned on is permitted. It is.

  Therefore, the notification method selection unit 24 stores a plurality of emergency information notification settings 24a, and the notification method selection unit 24 determines one emergency from among the stored ones by determination or by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16. The information notification setting 24a may be selected and used. The determination that the notification method selection unit 24 selects one of the plurality of emergency information notification settings 24a is based on, for example, the location where the device is located, the time, and the day of the week. The location where the device is located is measured by the positioning unit 25. The time and day of the week depend on the date and time indicated by a clock (not shown) in the control unit 11.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an operation in which the notification method selection unit 24 selects an appropriate notification method and performs notification according to the selected notification method. The notification method selection unit 24 receives the notification instruction from the control unit 11 and starts the operation (step S101). At this time, an event is received as a parameter. Further, data related to the event is used as a parameter.

  Next, the notification method selection unit 24 determines the influence level of the event (step S102). Here, the degree of influence is an index indicating the level of influence on the people around the device of the information accompanying the event. The influence degree is one of three values “A” (high), “B” (medium), and “C” (low), but is not limited thereto. Either of two values may be used, and any of four or more values may be used. The degree of influence of an event is determined based on different criteria depending on the event as described below.

  First, when the event is reception of an incoming call signal by the transmission / reception unit 13, the notification method selection unit 24 determines that the influence degree is “C”. This is because it is impossible to determine the content of a call started by an incoming call for the signal from the incoming call signal. However, this is not the case when a signal indicating the degree of influence is added to the incoming call signal. The degree of influence is determined according to the added signal indicating the degree of influence.

  Secondly, when the event is a recording by the answering machine unit 21, the notification method selection unit 24 recognizes the voice recorded by the answering machine unit 21, converts it to a sentence, and performs a morphological analysis on the converted sentence. And remember. And the content which a sentence shows is judged using a morphological analysis result. If the morphological analysis result of the sentence includes the word “earthquake forecast” and characters indicating the predicted seismic intensity greater than or equal to the first value at the location where the device is located, the influence degree is determined to be “A”. .

  Note that the notification method selection unit 24 is not limited to determining the content indicated by the sentence by performing morphological analysis on the sentence, and may further make a determination by performing semantic analysis. Further, whether or not a word is included may be determined based on the presence or absence of a character string that matches a predetermined character string.

  In addition, when the sentence includes “Earthquake Forecast” and a predicted seismic intensity that is equal to or less than the first value at the location where the device is located and is equal to or greater than a second value that is smaller than the first value, the notification method is selected. The unit 24 determines that the influence degree is “B”. When the predicted seismic intensity equal to or lower than the second value is included, and when the predicted seismic intensity is not included, the influence level is determined to be “C”. Here, the place where the device is located depends on the positioning result by the positioning unit 25.

  Further, the notification method selection unit 24 makes the same determination by using “typhoon forecast”, predicted wind speed, and predicted rainfall in addition to or instead of “earthquake forecast” and predicted seismic intensity. The same determination is made using the “heavy rain forecast” and the predicted rainfall.

  Further, the “tsunami forecast” and the predicted height of the tsunami are used to make the same determination. However, the tsunami forecast is determined with reference to the altitude of the place where the device is located. The higher the altitude, the lower the impact. Alternatively, the determination is made with reference to the distance from the sea where the device is located. The farther you are from the sea, the lower the impact. The altitude of the place where the device is located is determined by positioning by the positioning unit 25. When a plurality of determinations are made using a plurality of words in this way, the highest influence degree among the determined influence degrees is set as a final determination result.

  Phrases such as “earthquake forecast” used to determine the degree of influence, the threshold value of the predicted seismic intensity, and the like are stored in advance in the notification method selection unit 24 and may not be changed. Additional notification, update storage, and deletion may be performed in the notification method selection unit 24 by a key operation.

  For example, the phrase “fire” and the location of the fire are stored, and the degree of influence is determined according to the size of the fire and the distance between the location of the fire and the location of the device, according to the above description. good. Similarly, use the “accident”, the location where the accident occurred, “the escape of suspects of serious crimes”, the seriousness of crimes and the places where the suspects are expected to escape, etc. It may be judged.

  However, the degree of influence is the degree of influence on people around the apparatus, not the degree of influence only on the user of the apparatus. Thus, words that depend on the personal interests of the user of the device are not used.

  If the caller's caller number related to the recording by the answering machine 21 is not stored in the address book (not shown), the influence level is set to "" regardless of the determination based on the words and phrases included in the above sentence. C ”may be determined. Further, when the number is stored in the address book and associated with the number and predetermined information (information indicating that it is reliable) is not stored, it is determined that the influence degree is “C”. You may do it. The content of the utterance of the caller is a fact and is judged to be reliable, that is, the degree of influence is “A” or “B” only when the utterance is judged not to be a quote or a joke. It is because it is appropriate to judge.

  Third, when the event is reception of the received mail by the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22, the notification method selection unit 24 determines in the same manner as when the event is recording by the answering machine unit 21. Note that when the event is reception of a received mail, a process for recognizing voice is not necessary, and the determination is made based on the subject and body of the received mail. Further, it is determined whether or not the transmission source address of the received mail is stored in the address book, and whether or not predetermined information is stored in association with the address, instead of the call originator number.

  When a signal indicating the degree of influence is added to the incoming signal of the received mail, the notification method selection unit 24 determines the degree of influence according to the added signal indicating the degree of influence. In addition, when the incoming signal of the received mail or information indicating the content of the received mail is included in the header, the notification method selection unit 24 determines the degree of influence based on the information included in the incoming signal or the header. There is no need to analyze the text of the received mail to determine its contents.

  In addition, when the received mail is an electronic mail transmitted from the base station, the notification method selection unit 24 determines that the content of the received mail is reliable regardless of the transmission source address of the received mail. Further, the broadcasted e-mail is a means for sending effective information to a device located near the base station. And since it is thought that the apparatus is located near the base station which transmitted the received mail, you may determine that the degree of influence is high without referring to the positioning result by the positioning unit 25.

  However, since the device is not at all far from the base station, the notification method selection unit 24 may make a determination by referring to the positioning result by the positioning unit 25, and may be transmitted from the base station. Whether or not the device is located near the base station may be determined based on the reception quality of the received radio wave.

  Fourth, when the event is reception of an emergency alert signal by the broadcast receiving unit 23, the notification method selection unit 24 determines in the same manner as when the event is reception of a received mail. If the event is reception of an emergency alert signal, the content is indicated by the type of the emergency alert signal, so that the notification method selection unit 24 does not need to analyze the sentence or judge the content. Further, it is determined that the emergency warning signal is reliable.

  Next, the notification method selection unit 24 determines the urgency of the event (step S103). Here, the degree of urgency is an index indicating the level of necessity for the user of the apparatus to respond urgently according to the information accompanying the event. The degree of urgency is one of three values “a” (high), “b” (medium), and “c” (low), but is not limited thereto. Either of two values may be used, and any of four or more values may be used. The urgency level of the event is determined based on different criteria as described below depending on the event.

  First, when the event is reception of an incoming call signal by the transmission / reception unit 13, the notification method selection unit 24 determines that the degree of urgency is “c”. This is because it is impossible to determine the content of a call started by an incoming call for the signal from the incoming call signal. However, this is not the case when a signal indicating the degree of urgency is added to the incoming call signal. The urgency level is determined according to the added signal indicating the urgency level.

  Secondly, when the event is a recording by the answering machine unit 21, the notification method selection unit 24 uses the morphological analysis result for the sentence obtained by the recognition of the recorded voice stored in the operation of step S102. When the words “earthquake forecast”, “typhoon forecast”, “heavy rain forecast”, or “tsunami forecast” are not included as described in the operation of step S102, it is determined that the degree of urgency is “c”. .

  When these words are included in the morphological analysis result of the stored sentence and, further, the predicted time when an earthquake, typhoon, heavy rain or tsunami occurs is included, the notification method selection unit 24 selects the predicted time and If the time difference from the current time is equal to or shorter than the first time, the urgency is determined to be “a”. If the difference time is equal to or greater than the first time and equal to or less than the second time greater than the first time, the urgency is determined to be “b”.

  When the difference time is equal to or longer than the second time, it is determined that the urgency is “c”. When the estimated time is not included, the notification method selection unit 24 determines that the degree of urgency is “c”. When the time difference from the predicted occurrence time is included from the present time, the notification method selection unit 24 makes the same determination as above based on the time difference.

  The phrase such as “earthquake forecast” used in the above description and the threshold value of the time until the predicted time are stored in advance in the notification method selection unit 24 and may not be changed. Additional notification, update storage, and deletion may be performed in the notification method selection unit 24 by a key operation.

  When determining the degree of urgency, the notification method selection unit 24 is not limited to words such as “earthquake forecast” that suggest not only the user of the device but also the people around the device, and the personal name, company name, etc. The determination may be made using words unique to the user of the apparatus. For these phrases, the expected time is the scheduled arrival time of the person, the start time of the meeting at the company, etc., but is not limited thereto. The predicted time may not be stored, and the notification method selection unit 24 may store the urgency level in association with the stored personal name or company name, and determine the urgency level based on the stored urgency level.

  As already described in the operation of step S102, the notification method selection unit 24 confirms that the caller source number related to the recording by the answering machine unit 21 is not stored in the address book and is reliable. When the information to be shown is not stored together, the urgency level may be determined as “c”.

  Third, when the event is reception of the received mail by the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22, the notification method selection unit 24 determines the urgency as in the case where the event is recording by the answering machine unit 21. However, as described in the operation of step S102, the process for recognizing the voice is not necessary, and the determination is made based on the subject and body of the received mail. Further, the determination is made based on whether or not the transmission source address of the received mail is stored in the address book, and whether or not predetermined information is stored in association with the address.

  In addition, when the influence level determination operation described in the operation of step S102 is applied mutatis mutandis, the notification method selection unit 24 adds a signal indicating the urgency level to the incoming signal of the received mail. The urgency level is determined according to the signal indicating. When the incoming signal of the received mail or information indicating the content of the received mail is included in the header, the notification method selection unit 24 does not need to analyze the text of the received mail and determine the content. If the received mail is an electronic mail transmitted from the base station, the notification method selection unit 24 determines that the received mail is reliable.

  Fourth, when the event is reception of an emergency warning signal by the broadcast receiving unit 23, the notification method selection unit 24 determines the same as when the event is reception of received mail. When the event is reception of an emergency warning signal, the notification method selection unit 24 does not need to analyze sentences or judge contents as described in the operation of step S102. Further, it is determined that the emergency warning signal is reliable.

  Next, the notification method selection unit 24 searches for the notification method from the degree of influence determined by the operation of step S102 and the urgency level determined by the operation of step S103, and information according to the searched notification method. Is received (step S104). That is, using the search key that the degree of influence 24b is equal to the degree of influence determined in the operation of step S102 and the degree of urgency 24c is equal to the degree of urgency determined in the operation of step S103, the associated information is designated as emergency information. Search from the notification setting 24a.

  By this search, the notification method selection unit 24 obtains the notification sound 24d from the speaker, the vibration 24e of the vibrator, and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp. Then, a notification sound is generated from the speaker 26 according to the notification sound 24d from the obtained speaker, the vibrator 27 is vibrated according to the vibration 24e of the obtained vibrator, and the notification lamp 28 is turned on according to the lighting 24f of the obtained notification lamp. .

  When notification by the operation of step S104 is started, the notification method selection unit 24 determines whether or not the broadcast reception unit 23 receives a broadcast without necessarily waiting for the end of the notification (step S105). That is, when it is determined that details relating to the received information are broadcast, it is determined that the broadcast receiving unit 23 receives the broadcast, and when it is determined that the details are not broadcast, it is determined not to be received. To do.

  It is determined in the following cases that details relating to the received information are broadcast. First, the event is the reception of an emergency warning signal by the broadcast receiving unit 23. In this case, naturally, information on an emergency situation, for example, a disaster is broadcast. Second, the event is the reception of the received mail by the electronic mail transmission / reception unit 22, and the received mail is an electronic mail transmitted from the base station at the same time. The reason why the e-mail sent simultaneously is transmitted is considered to be the same as when an emergency warning signal is transmitted. In these cases, the notification method selection unit 24 determines that the broadcast reception unit 23 receives the broadcast.

  When the event is reception of an incoming call signal by the transmission / reception unit 13, recording by the answering machine unit 21, and reception of the received mail by the email transmission / reception unit 22, the received mail being transmitted all at once If it is not an e-mail, the possibility that details relating to the received information are broadcast is not necessarily high. Therefore, the notification method selection unit 24 determines that the broadcast reception unit 23 does not receive the broadcast. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in particular, when the degree of influence determined in the operation of step S102 is high, there is a possibility that details are being broadcast, so the notification method selection unit 24 broadcasts to the broadcast reception unit 23. May be determined to be received.

  If it is determined in step S105 that the broadcast receiving unit 23 does not receive the broadcast, the notification method selection unit 24 ends the notification operation (step S106). If the notification operation started in step S104 has not ended, the notification method selection unit 24 ends the notification operation after the end of the notification operation.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S105 that the broadcast receiving unit 23 receives the broadcast, the notification method selection unit 24 causes the broadcast reception unit 23 to receive the broadcast (step S107), and the notification operation is terminated. (Step S106). Note that if the notification operation started in step S104 has not ended, the notification method selection unit 24 may end the notification operation after waiting for the end of the notification operation, or after the notification operation has continued for a while. The operation may be terminated. This is because the video display and sound generation of the broadcast received by the broadcast receiving unit 23 also serves as a notification operation.

  In the operation of causing the broadcast receiving unit 23 to receive the broadcast in step S107, the notification method selecting unit 24 broadcasts the emergency alert signal received by the broadcast receiving unit 23 or the base station received by the e-mail transmitting / receiving unit 22. If the received e-mail contains a signal indicating the channel, the channel to be received is selected according to the signal.

  When a signal indicating a channel is not included, the notification method selection unit 24 selects a channel broadcast by the Japan Broadcasting Corporation for the reason already described. Here, displaying the received video on the display unit 15 and generating the received audio from the speaker 26 are notification operations.

  Therefore, the notification method selection unit 24 determines the luminance when the received video is displayed on the display unit 15 according to the lighting 24f of the notification lamp searched in step S104. Further, the sound volume when the received sound is generated from the speaker 26 is determined according to the notification sound 24d from the speaker searched in step S104.

  That is, when the lighting 24f of the notification lamp is “continuous lighting”, lighting with high luminance, or lighting for a long time, the received video is displayed with high luminance. On the other hand, when the lighting 24f of the notification lamp is “intermittent lighting”, low-luminance lighting, or lighting for a short time, the received image is displayed on the display unit 15 with low luminance. Further, when the lighting 24f of the notification lamp is “*”, according to the attribute at the time of notifying that the information of the low influence level and the low emergency level stored in the notification method selection unit 24 is received, Display with brightness or low brightness.

  Furthermore, when the notification sound 24d from the speaker is “maximum” or the notification sound is generated for a long time, the received sound is generated at a relatively high volume. When the notification sound 24d from the speaker is “medium” or the notification sound is generated for a short time, the received sound is generated at a relatively low volume. Further, when the notification sound 24d from the speaker is “*”, in accordance with the attribute when notifying that the information of the low influence level and the low urgency level stored in the notification method selection unit 24 is received, Generate at high or low volume.

  Note that the brightness when the received video is displayed on the display unit 15 and the volume when the received sound is generated from the speaker 26 are in accordance with the notification lamp lighting 24f and the notification sound 24d from the speaker, respectively. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the brightness and volume settings associated with the influence level 24b and the emergency level 24c may be stored in the emergency information notification setting 24a, and the notification method selection unit 24 may follow the searched setting.

  In addition, when the event is reception of a call incoming signal by the transmission / reception unit 13, recording by the answering machine unit 21, and reception of the received mail by the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22, the received mail is simultaneously transmitted. If it is not an e-mail, the notification method selection unit 24 displays the received video on the display unit 15 with low brightness regardless of the notification method stored in the emergency information notification setting 24a, and the received voice is displayed. The sound may be generated from the speaker 26 at a low volume.

  This is because information regarding emergency situations, such as disasters, may not be broadcast, and these indications and sounds may not be beneficial to the users of the device and those around it.

  In the above description, the notification method selection unit 24 receives the incoming call signal by the transmission / reception unit 13, records by the answering machine unit 21, receives the incoming mail by the e-mail transmission / reception unit 22, and the emergency alert signal by the broadcast reception unit 23. The notification operation is performed according to an instruction from the control unit 11 at the time of reception, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, the notification method selection unit 24 determines the degree of influence and the degree of urgency from the content of the broadcast received by the broadcast receiving unit 23, that is, the text, sound, and video, and responds to the determined degree of influence and urgency. A notification operation may be performed. In order to determine the degree of influence and the degree of urgency from the video, for example, based on a recognition result of characters included in the video. Further, it is based on the calculation of the similarity between the video and a video shot of damage such as an earthquake. The content of the received broadcast is not necessarily displayed on the display unit 15 and sound is generated from the speaker 26.

  However, there is a possibility that the content that is broadcast on television is fictitious, such as a drama. Therefore, the notification method selection unit 24 receives a broadcast signal received by the broadcast reception unit 23 when a signal indicating that the broadcast is a program such as an anticipation of a disaster such as an earthquake, for example, text is added. You may perform alerting | reporting operation | movement by the content of the broadcast received by the part 23. FIG.

  Further, only after the broadcast receiving unit 23 is operated by the operation of step S107, a notification operation based on the content of the broadcast received by the broadcast receiving unit 23 may be performed. According to this operation, a more appropriate determination can be made as compared with the determination of the influence level and the urgency level in the operation of step S104. This is because the content of the broadcast contains much more information than the information included in the emergency alert broadcast.

  When the received broadcast video is displayed on the display unit 15 or the audio of the broadcast is generated from the speaker 26, the notification method selection unit 24 displays the content of the broadcast received by the broadcast reception unit 23. Compared with the notification method according to the degree of influence and urgency determined from the above, the notification operation is performed only when the brightness of the display and the volume of the sound are not sufficient, that is, it is determined that it is difficult to notice. Also good.

  In the above description, the attributes stored in the notification sound 24d from the speaker of the emergency information notification setting 24a, the vibration 24e of the vibrator, and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp are set by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16. However, it is not limited to this. Some or all of the attributes other than the attribute associated with the influence level 24b of “C” and the urgency level 24c of “c” are set in advance, and the setting is not changed by the key operation of the input device 16. It is also good.

  For example, the notification sound 24d from the speaker stored in association with the degree of influence 24b of “A” and the degree of urgency 24c of “a” stores “maximum” in advance and is updated by key operation of the input device 16 It may be impossible to memorize. Further, the notification sound 24d from the speaker is a file name of a file in which a predetermined notification sound is stored, and may not be updated and stored by a key operation of the input device 16.

  Furthermore, it is stored in one or more of the notification sound 24d from the speaker, the vibration 24e of the vibrator, and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp that are stored in association with one or a plurality of combinations of the predetermined degree of influence 24b and the degree of urgency 24c. The attribute may not be updated and stored by a key operation of the input device 16. In addition, these attributes may not be stored in association with anything other than the combination of the influence level 24b and the urgency level 24c.

  For example, the notification sound 24d from the speaker stored in association with the degree of influence 24b of “A” and the degree of emergency 24c of “a” is, for example, “maximum” and the file name of the file in which the siren sound is stored. Therefore, it may not be possible to update and store the key by operating the input device 16. The file name is stored by the key operation of the input device 16 as an attribute other than the notification sound 24d from the speaker associated with the degree of influence 24b of "A" and the degree of emergency 24c of "a". It's okay if you can't.

  The above description indicates that the information has been received, depending on the influence level and the urgency level of the received information, the notification sound 24d from the speaker of the emergency information notification setting 24a, the vibration 24e of the vibrator, and the notification lamp Although the notification is made according to any of the attributes stored in the lighting 24f and the broadcast reception operation is performed by the broadcast reception unit 23, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, the notification method selection unit 24 may perform notification by causing the display unit 15 to display in addition to these notification operations. That is, the fact that the answering voice is recorded by the answering machine 21 is notified by displaying a cassette tape-shaped graphic, and the received mail is received by the electronic mail transmitting / receiving unit 22 by displaying the envelope-shaped graphic. To do. This display may be displayed in a pictograph column provided at the top of the display unit 15, for example.

  The display attributes of these figures, for example, the change in shape, the color of the figure, the background color of the figure, the size of the figure, the presence / absence of blinking of the figure, the blinking period of the figure, etc. As the level of 24c is higher, for example, it is displayed in a blinking manner in a large and conspicuous color so that it can be easily noticed. The display attributes of these figures are stored in the emergency information notification setting 24a, and the notification method selection unit 24 searches the emergency information notification setting 24a using the determined influence level and / or urgency level as search keys, Notification is made based on the searched attribute.

  The display attributes of these figures are predetermined keys of the input device 16 as well as the attributes stored in the notification sound 24d from the speaker of the emergency information notification setting 24a, the vibration 24e of the vibrator, and the lighting 24f of the notification lamp. Suppose that it is set by operation or cannot be changed.

  Furthermore, the display attribute of a certain figure may be stored in association with one or a plurality of combinations of the predetermined influence degree 24b and the urgency degree 24c, and may not be updated and stored by key operation of the input device 16. In addition, the display attribute of the graphic may not be stored in association with anything other than the combination of the influence level 24b and the urgency level 24c.

  For example, the graphic display attributes stored in association with the degree of influence 24 b of “A” and the degree of urgency 24 c of “a” may not be updated and stored by key operation of the input device 16. Further, the attribute may not be set by the key operation of the input device 16 as an attribute other than the attribute associated with the influence degree 24b of “A” and the urgency degree 24c of “a”. The present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and various modifications are possible.
