  Next, regarding the operation of the network system in the present embodiment, (a) the wrist terminal server 15, (b) the mobile terminal 12, (c) the wrist terminal 11, (d) each of the article management by the wrist terminal 11 and the mobile terminal 12 The operation will be described separately.

(A) Operation of Wrist Terminal Server 15 FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the wrist terminal server 15. The process shown in this flowchart is executed by a CPU (not shown) provided in the wrist terminal server 15 reading a predetermined program.

  The wrist terminal server 15 receives distribution information from the various content servers 14a and 14b existing on the network 13 (step A11), and processes the distribution information for the wrist terminal (step A12). The wrist terminal server 15 stores the processed distribution information in the wrist terminal memory 41 shown in FIG. 8 (step A13).

  The wrist terminal memory 41 is provided for each wrist terminal. In the list terminal memory 41, ID information (identification information) unique to the list terminal 11 held by the user, the distribution content type selected by the user, and other various setting information are recorded as the user information 41a. Further, as the distribution information 41b, distribution information received from the various content servers 14a and 14b and processed for the wrist terminal is stored. “Processing for wrist terminal” means performing processing such as editing content information in accordance with the screen of wrist terminal 11 having a wristwatch size.

  The wrist terminal server 15 refers to the wrist terminal memory 41 and selectively receives various pieces of content information for each user, processes each of them, and stores them in the wrist terminal memory 41.

(B) Operation of Mobile Terminal 12 FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation related to the list distribution application of the mobile terminal 12. Note that the processing shown in this flowchart is executed by the CPU 31 provided in the mobile terminal 12 reading the program 35 a stored in the memory 35.

  First, the user taps a setting icon (not shown) provided on the screen of the mobile terminal 12 to activate the “list terminal setting” function. When the “list terminal setting” function is activated (Yes in step B11), the mobile terminal 12 (specifically, the CPU 31) accesses the wrist terminal 11 through the first communication unit 24a and is currently collected by the wrist terminal 11. Requesting information on the article being held (step B12).

  As described with reference to FIG. 1, IC tags 17 a to 17 d are attached to the articles 16 a to 16 d that are belongings of the user, and information on the articles (ID information) is read by the wrist terminal 11 from the IC tags 17 a to 17 d. be able to.

  When the portable terminal 12 receives information on these items from the list terminal 11, the portable terminal 12 sets the item list 52 on the setting screen 51 as shown in FIG. 10 (step B13). The setting screen 51 is provided with a classification name setting unit 53 for setting the classification name of the article. The user inputs a classification name corresponding to the article list 52 to the classification name setting unit 53 by a predetermined operation (step B14).

  In the example of FIG. 10, three items “fishing rod”, “hat”, and “sunglasses” are set in the item list 52, and “fishing” is input to the category name setting unit 53 as the category name for these items. The state is shown.

  Further, the setting screen 51 is provided with a priority setting unit 54 for setting priorities of various information displayed on the wrist terminal 11, and priorities for various information are set by a user operation. (Step B15).

  In the example of FIG. 10, “weather information” is set as information displayed for the second time. The “second time” here means the second time of the flip operation described in FIG. Information to be displayed can be set for the number of flip operations.

  The mobile terminal 12 retains the article information, the classification name, and the display information priority set on the setting screen 51 in the memory 35 as the setting information of the list terminal 11 and transmits the list to the list terminal 11 to transmit the list. It memorize | stores in the memory 25 of the terminal 11 (step B16).

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 11, the relationship between the article held by the user and the classification name of the article is registered in the article management table 55. As shown in FIG. 12, when the classification name of the article is the user action, the priority order of information corresponding to the user action is registered in the priority order setting table 56. The article management table 55 and the priority order setting table 56 are provided in the memory 25 of the wrist terminal 11.

  The setting information at this time is also transmitted to the wrist terminal server 15 and registered in the wrist terminal memory 41 of the wrist terminal server 15 (step B17).

  On the other hand, when the preset traveling time is reached (Yes in step B18), the mobile terminal 12 accesses the wrist terminal server 15 via the network 13 and receives the content information stored in the wrist terminal memory 41. (Step B19). The content information received at this time is stored in a predetermined area of the memory 35. Then, when there is a distribution request from the list terminal 11 (Yes in Step B20), the mobile terminal 12 reads the content information stored in the predetermined area of the memory 35 and transfers it to the list terminal 11 (Step B21). ). The content information transferred from the portable terminal 12 to the wrist terminal 11 has already been processed for the wrist terminal by the wrist terminal server 15.

  The content information transferred to the wrist terminal 11 is displayed according to a preset priority order when the user performs a predetermined operation. The predetermined operation is an operation of turning the wrist (flip operation).

(C) Operation of the wrist terminal 11 FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information acquisition process of the wrist terminal 11. Note that the processing shown in this flowchart is executed by reading the program 25 a stored in the memory 25 by the CPU 21 provided in the wrist terminal 11. The same applies to the processing shown in FIG. 14 described later, and is executed by the CPU 21 reading the program 25a.

  The wrist terminal 11 (specifically, the CPU 21) checks the connection state with the portable terminal 12 at regular intervals (step C11) and determines whether communication is possible (step C12). If communication is possible, that is, if wrist terminal 11 and portable terminal 12 are in a state where short-range wireless communication is possible (Yes in step C12), wrist terminal 11 receives content information from portable terminal 12, The data is stored in 35 predetermined areas (step C13). This content information is periodically received by the mobile terminal 12 from the wrist terminal server 15 (see step B19 in FIG. 9), and is processed for the wrist terminal.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information display process of the wrist terminal 11.

  The wrist terminal 11 (specifically, the CPU 21) determines the current action from the user's belongings (step D11). Specifically, the information of the articles 16a to 16d near the wrist terminal 11 is read from the IC tags 17a to 17d, and is compared with the article management table 55 shown in FIG. The user's behavior is determined from the above.

  For example, if the user has a “commuting bag”, the action at that time can be determined as “work”. If the user has “fishing rod”, “hat”, and “fishing rod”, the action at that time can be determined as “fishing”. In addition to the user's belongings, if the position data of the GPS unit 28 is used, the current behavior of the user can be determined more accurately.

  The wrist terminal 11 analyzes the output data of the motion detection sensor provided in the sensor unit 26, and determines what kind of motion the user is making based on the analysis result (step D12).

  Here, when the user is turning the wrist (Yes in Step D13), the wrist terminal 11 determines that the flip operation shown in FIG. 4 is performed, and switches from the clock screen as the reference screen to the information display. .

  Specifically, the wrist terminal 11 refers to the priority setting table 56 shown in FIG. 12, and selectively reads various information from a predetermined area of the memory 25 based on the user's action and the number of times the wrist is turned. Is displayed on the screen of the display unit 22 (step D14). As a result, for example, when the user is “fishing”, if the user raises his arm to the face position and performs a flip operation once, information on “where now (map service)” is displayed. If it is performed twice, “weather information” is displayed.

  When the user performs an operation with his arms lowered (Yes in Step D15), the wrist terminal 11 returns from the information display to the clock screen which is the reference screen (Step D16).

(D) Operation of article management by wrist terminal 11 and portable terminal 12 FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an article management operation (IC tag processing) of the wrist terminal 11. Note that the processing shown in this flowchart is executed by reading the program 25 a stored in the memory 25 by the CPU 21 provided in the wrist terminal 11.

  The wrist terminal 11 (more specifically, the CPU 21) periodically reads information on articles existing near the wrist terminal 11 from the IC tag (step E11).

  For example, when the articles 16b, 16c, and 16d shown in FIG. 1 exist in the vicinity of the user, information on these articles 16b, 16c, and 16d can be read from the IC tags 17b, 17c, and 17d.

  Here, the list terminal 11 refers to the article management table 55 of FIG. 11 provided in the memory 25, and determines whether or not there is an article list relating to the current belongings (step E13). If there is no corresponding article list (No in Step E13), the list terminal 11 generates an article list based on the article information read in Step E12 (Step E14).

  For example, when the information of the articles 16b, 16c, and 16d shown in FIG. 1 is read from the IC tags 17b, 17c, and 17d, an article list having three articles such as “sunglasses”, “hat”, and “fishing rod” is obtained. Will be generated. The article list generated at this time is stored in the article management table 55 in FIG.

  As described in steps B11 to B17 in FIG. 9, when a request is made from the portable terminal 12, the article information registered in the article list is sent to the portable terminal 12, and the classification name set in the article information is set. Is replied. In the above example, a classification name such as “fishing” is returned to “sunglasses”, “hat”, and “fishing rod”. The list terminal 11 associates the classification name sent from the portable terminal 12 with the article list and registers it in the article management table 55 of FIG. 11 (step E15).

  When information on a newly added article is detected from the IC tag (Yes in step E16), the list terminal 11 adds the article information to the corresponding article list in the article management table 55. (Step E17).

  For example, if the information of “cooler box” is newly detected, the information of “cooler box” is included in the item list of “fishing” as items belonging to the same classification as “sunglasses”, “hat”, and “fishing rod”. It will be additionally registered.

  Furthermore, when there is an article that cannot be read from the IC tag information (an article that cannot be communicated) among the articles registered in the article list (Yes in step E18), the list terminal 11 determines where the user is. For example, an alarm incorporated in the clock unit 27 is sounded to notify the user that there is a lost article (step E19). Note that the notification method is not limited to an alarm, and for example, a message indicating that it has been lost may be displayed on the display unit 22.

  In addition, when detecting that there is a lost article, the wrist terminal 11 acquires the current position (that is, the position when the information of the IC tag of the article cannot be read) from the GPS unit 28, and determines the position. The lost position of the article is recorded in a predetermined area of the memory 25 (step E20). The lost position recorded at this time can be confirmed on the map by the portable terminal 12 as will be described later.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an article management operation (lost object confirmation process) of the mobile terminal 12. Note that the processing shown in this flowchart is executed by the CPU 31 provided in the mobile terminal 12 reading the program 35 a stored in the memory 35.

  The user makes a request for confirmation of lost items by, for example, tapping a “lost item confirmation” icon (not shown) on the screen of the mobile terminal 12. When the portable terminal 12 (specifically, the CPU 31) receives the confirmation request for the lost item (Yes in Step F11), the portable terminal 12 accesses the wrist terminal 11 through the first communication unit 24a and is recorded in a predetermined area of the memory 25. The position data of the lost item is received (step F12).

  The wrist terminal 11 activates the map application based on the position data of the lost item, displays a map corresponding to the position data, and displays a mark indicating the lost position on the map (step F13).

A specific example is shown in FIG.
61 in the figure is a map corresponding to the position data of the lost item. The map data of each area may be registered in advance in the mobile terminal 12, or may be acquired from an arbitrary server on the net. A mark 61 indicating the lost position is displayed in the map 61. Note that the name (article name) 63 of the lost item may be displayed near the mark 61.

  For example, it is assumed that the user goes fishing with “sunglasses”, “hat”, and “fishing rod” and forgets “hat” on the way home.

  In such a case, first, when the user goes out, information of each item of “sunglasses”, “hat”, and “fishing rod” is read from the IC tag and registered in the item list of “fishing”. If the user forgets “hat” when returning, communication with the “hat” IC tag in the article list is disabled. Thereby, the “hat” is determined as a lost article, and the position at that time is recorded in the wrist terminal 11.

  Here, when the portable terminal 12 is operated, the position where the “hat” is lost is sent from the wrist terminal 11, and a mark 61 indicating the lost position is displayed on the map 61. The position where the mark 61 is displayed is not the position where the “hat” is lost, but the position where communication with the tag attached to the “hat” is disabled. Therefore, although there is some error from the actual lost position, the tag information is periodically read at short time intervals (see step E11 in FIG. 15), and therefore the search is performed using the display position of the mark 61 as a guide. be able to.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, by reading the information of the IC tag attached to each item and managing it in association with the user's behavior, the user's behavior at that time can be determined from familiar items. The information corresponding to the action at that time can be displayed as appropriate.

  In this case, if information priorities are set in advance, various information can be viewed according to the priorities.

  In addition, when there is an article whose IC tag information could not be read in each article managed in the article list, an alarm or the like is notified so that the user can immediately notice when the article he possesses is lost. Can do.

  Further, by recording the position when the information of the IC tag cannot be read as the lost position of the article, the lost position can be displayed and confirmed on the map.

  The wrist terminal 11 has a wristwatch shape that can be worn on the wrist of the user, and acquires various types of information from the portable terminal 12 in a bag or the like by short-range wireless communication. The user can selectively view these pieces of information simply by performing an operation such as turning the wrist while wearing the wrist terminal 11 on the wrist. Note that the user's operation for switching the display information is not limited to turning the wrist, and may be, for example, an operation of shaking an arm or an operation of applying vibration to the arm.

  In the above-described embodiment, the processing related to the present invention is executed using the two terminal devices of the wrist terminal 11 and the portable terminal 12 while communicating with each other.
