Next, the operation of the mobile terminal device 20 of this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 7 shows a processing flow in the mobile terminal device 20. Each process of the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 7 indicates a processing operation in which the CPU 21 in the mobile terminal device 20 reads and executes a program stored in the storage unit 26.
In step S1, it is determined whether or not a registration button 22A provided on the input device 22 has been pressed. If it is determined that the registration button 22A has been pressed (step S1; YES), the registration process SA is executed. In this registration process SA, message information to be transmitted according to the operation of the mobile terminal device 20 and the transmission destination thereof are stored in the message information storage unit 16C. This registration process SA will be described later with reference to FIG.

  If it is not determined that the registration button 22A has been pressed (step S1; NO), it is determined whether or not the message information transmitted as the message information transmitting means of the server device 10 has been received (step S2). If it is determined that the message information has been received (step S2; YES), it is determined whether or not the message is an urgent message that requires immediate confirmation (step S3). If the message is an urgent message (step S3; YES), this message is notified that it is an urgent message that needs to be confirmed immediately (step S4). Whether or not the message is an urgent message is determined based on whether or not the urgent message has been transmitted from the server device 10 (see step A12 in FIG. 9). The server device 10 determines whether or not to transmit an urgent message based on whether or not an urgent flag transmitted in steps S19 to S25 described later is “1”, and this urgent flag “1”. Is set when the mobile terminal device 20 of the transmission partner is shaken larger than a predetermined threshold by the user.

  Next, in response to receiving the message information, when the user swings the portable terminal device 20 in any of the up, down, left, right, back, and front directions, the acceleration sensor 28 serving as an operation detecting means The operation information of the terminal device 20 is detected (step S5). Here, when the operation information is not detected by the acceleration sensor 28 (step S5; NO), processing for confirming the received content is executed in step S7.

  On the other hand, when the operation information of the mobile terminal device 20 is detected from the acceleration sensor 28 (step S5; YES), the operation amounts of the mobile terminal device 20 in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction are compared. (Step S6). Here, the X direction is the left / right direction, the Y direction is the up / down direction, and the Z direction is the back / front direction.

  If the largest motion amount is in the X direction (step S8; YES), the sign of the motion amount is determined (step S9). If it is positive (step S9; YES), the variable “direction” is determined. “Right” is stored in (step S10), and if negative (step S9; NO), “left” is stored in the variable “direction” (step S11).

  If the largest motion amount is in the Z direction (step S12; YES), the sign of the motion amount is determined (step S13). If it is positive (step S13; YES), the variable “direction” is determined. Is stored (step S14). If negative (step S13; NO), “front” is stored in the variable “direction” (step S15).

  If the largest motion amount is in the Y direction (step S12; NO), the sign of the motion amount is determined (step S16). If it is positive (step S16; YES), the variable “direction” is determined. “Up” is stored in (Step S17), and if negative (Step S16; NO), “Down” is stored in the variable “Direction” (Step S18).

  By the processing from step S8 to step S18, the direction in which the mobile terminal device 20 is swung by the user is stored in the variable “direction”.

  Next, in step S19, it is determined whether or not the interrupt flag is “1”. This interrupt flag can identify whether or not the process is executed when the interrupt button 22B is pressed in step S26, and if it is a process based on reception from the counterpart terminal 20 (step S2) (step S19). NO), the variable “direction” and the terminal ID 26A stored in the storage device 26 are transmitted to the server device (step S20), and the process returns to step S1.

  If the interrupt button 22B provided in the input device 22 is pressed in step S26 (step S26; YES), “1” is set to the interrupt flag (step S27). The case where the interrupt button 22B is pressed is a case where, for example, when a suspicious person enters the store or when a support for a cash register is requested, a staff member who has another mobile terminal device 20 wants to be contacted. By pressing the interrupt button 22B and shaking the mobile terminal device 20 in a predetermined direction, a message can be easily transmitted to the predetermined mobile terminal device 20. Further, by shaking the mobile terminal device 20 greatly, it can be transmitted to the counterpart terminal 20 as an urgent message.

  If the operation information of the mobile terminal device 20 is detected in step S28 (step S28; YES), the processing from step S6 to step S25 is executed. If not detected (step S28; NO), the process returns to step S1. .

  When it is determined in step S19 that the interrupt flag is “1” (step S19; YES), it is determined whether or not the operation amount is larger than a predetermined threshold (step S21). This determines whether or not the user has swung the mobile terminal device 20 larger than a predetermined threshold. When it is determined that the operation amount is larger than the predetermined threshold (step S21; YES), “1” is set to the urgent flag (step S22). On the other hand, when it is not determined that the operation amount is larger than the predetermined threshold (step S21; NO), “0” is set to the urgent flag (step S23).

  Then, the variable “direction”, the terminal ID 26A stored in the storage device 26, and the urgent flag are transmitted to the server device 10 (step S24), and the interrupt flag is cleared to “0” (step S25). Return to step S1.

  The processing from step S1 to step S28 is repeated until the portable terminal device 20 is finished in step S29.

  As described above, when a message is received, the mobile terminal device 20 can be easily transmitted to a predetermined mobile terminal device 20 by shaking the mobile terminal device 20 in various directions. By pressing 22B, a plurality of message information can be easily transmitted at any time while the mobile terminal device 20 is in operation.

FIG. 8 shows a registration processing flow in the mobile terminal device 20.
With this registration processing flow, the “message information ID” of the message information transmitted according to the “direction” that is the operation information of the mobile terminal device 20 and the “transmission destination” are messages in the storage device 16 of the server device 10. It is stored in the information storage unit 16C.

  In step SA1, a message list transmission request is sent to the server apparatus 10. The message list is the content of the message list storage unit 16B stored in the storage device 16 of the server device 10. Next, in step SA2, it is determined whether or not a message list has been received from the server device 10 (step SA2). If it is determined that it has been received (step SA2; YES), the received message list is stored in the portable terminal. The information is displayed on the display device 23 of the device 20 (step SA3). If the user receives an input of “direction” as operation information, message information to be transmitted in accordance with the direction, and “destination” to which the message information is transmitted (step SA4; YES), it is accepted. The terminal ID 26A stored in the storage device 26 together with the input content is transmitted to the server device 10 (step SA5).

Next, operation | movement of the server apparatus 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
FIG. 9 shows a processing flow in the server device 10.
In step A1, it is determined whether or not the message list request in step SA1 in FIG. When it is determined that the message has been received (step A1; YES), the message list information stored in the message list storage unit 16B is transmitted to the requesting mobile terminal device 20 (step A2), and the process returns to step A1.

  In step A3, it is determined whether or not the input content transmitted in step SA5 in FIG. 8 has been received from the portable terminal device 20, and if it is determined that it has been received (step A3; YES), the received “terminal ID, “direction”, “message information ID”, and “destination” are stored in the message information storage unit 16C (step A4), and the process returns to step A1.

  Next, in step A5, it is determined whether or not the variable “direction” information that is the operation information transmitted in step S20 or step S24 in FIG. When it is determined that the variable “direction” has been received (step A5; YES), the message is stored in the message information storage unit 16C and stored in the message list storage unit 16B from the message information ID corresponding to the variable “direction”. Information is specified (step A6).

  Then, the process from step A7 to step A13 is repeated until the transmission of the message information specified by all the “transmission destinations” stored in the message information storage unit 16C is completed. When transmission of message information to all the members has not been completed (step A7; NO), user attributes corresponding to the transmission destination and the transmission source terminal ID are acquired from the user attribute storage unit 16A, and the hierarchical relationship of the attributes is determined. (Step A8). When the attribute of the transmission destination is determined to be upper (step A8; upper), the message information is converted into honorific (step A9). On the other hand, when it is determined that the attribute of the transmission destination is lower (step A8; lower), the message information is converted into polite language (step A10).

  Next, an urgent flag is determined (step A11). When the urgent flag is “1” (step A11; YES), the message information is transmitted to the transmission destination together with the urgent message (step A12). If the urgent flag is “0” or the urgent flag is not set (step A11; NO), only the message information is transmitted to the transmission destination without transmitting the urgent message (step A13).

  In the processing flow of the server device 10, the processing from step A1 to step A13 is repeated until the processing flow is ended in step A14.

  As described above, according to the present invention, a portable terminal system capable of transmitting a plurality of messages with a simple operation and a program thereof can be provided according to the present invention.
