Description

  The present invention includes, for example, a portable terminal device such as a mobile phone, a PHS phone (PHS: Personal Handyphone System), a PDA device (PDA: Personal Digital Assistant), a notebook personal computer device, a desktop personal computer device, etc. The present invention relates to a terminal device and a file control program suitable for application to a terminal device.

  The mobile phone can be carried and can communicate such as a call at a desired timing and in a desired place as long as the radio wave from the base station can reach. In addition, recent cellular phones are provided with a mail transmission / reception function, a web browsing function, a camera function, an infrared communication function, and the like in addition to a call function. Such a multi-function mobile phone is very convenient for the user and is generally widely used.

  Here, as one of the reasons for the widespread use of mobile phones, it can be mentioned that a desired ringtone can be selected. This ringtone was a ringtone with a single electronic sound in the early days, but in recent years the process of audio evolution such as chording, stereo, high-quality sound, surround sound, etc. has been inherited. Then, the music itself is a ring tone.

  In this way, music data that can be used as a ringtone is downloaded from a predetermined website and stored in the memory of the mobile phone, but the downloaded data is only music data. For this reason, the opportunity to acquire information related to music data such as album jackets, lyrics cards, and commentary attached when purchasing analog records and compact discs is decreasing.

  Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-215174 (Patent Document 1) discloses a portable terminal device that displays image data related to music data. In the case of this portable terminal device, music data and image data and text data related to the music data are downloaded in a batch from a predetermined website and stored in a storage medium of the portable terminal device. The image data is a jacket image, an artist image, or a sales advertisement image, and the text data is lyrics. The portable terminal device automatically reproduces the image data and text data during the reproduction of the music data and displays it on the display unit. This makes it possible to check image data and text data while listening to music.

JP 2002-215174 A (pages 4 to 6: FIG. 4)

  However, in the case of the mobile terminal device disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, music data and related data (image data, text data, etc.) are associated with each other in advance, and at the time of downloading, the music data and related data Are downloaded to the user's mobile terminal device as a batch of data.

  Therefore, the related data associated with the music data is fixed, and there is a problem that it is difficult for the user to associate with the image data or text data later.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a terminal device and a file control program that can easily associate a desired related data file with a desired data file at a desired timing. With the goal.

The terminal device according to the present invention is a means for solving the above-described problems.

Control means for controlling the playback means so as to play back the related file designated for playback among the related files displayed on the display means by the related file search means.

  In such a terminal device according to the present invention, a relation code is added in the form of being added to the header information of each file or the file name of each file. As this relation code, a unique code may be automatically formed, or a code input by a user may be used. Further, the relation code can be added to a desired file at a desired timing. As a result, it is possible to recognize and manage files having the same relationship code as related files.

In addition, the file control program according to the present invention is:
The same relation code indicating that the files are related to each other is reproduced from the storage means in which a plurality of files each added to the header information or the file name are stored. Reproduction control means for reproducing the reproduction means;
Based on the relation code added to the file being played back by the playback means, the related means having the same relation code added and having a relationship with the file being played is searched from the storage means and displayed. Related file search means to be displayed in
Among the related files displayed on the display means, the above-mentioned problem is solved by causing the computer to function as a control means for controlling the reproduction of the reproduction means so as to reproduce the related file designated for reproduction.

  In such a file control program according to the present invention, a relation code is added in the form of being added to the header information of each file or the file name of each file. As this relation code, a unique code may be automatically formed, or a code input by a user may be used. Further, the relation code can be added to a desired file at a desired timing. As a result, it is possible to recognize and manage files having the same relationship code as related files.

  In the present invention, a relation code is added in the form of being added to the header information of each file or the file name of each file, and files having the same relation code are recognized as related files. Since the relation code can be added to a desired file at a desired timing, a desired related file can be easily associated with the desired file at a desired timing.

The two-dimensional code link file is a two-dimensional code that can receive a predetermined service by being read and analyzed by a code reader device.

File association
In the mobile phone according to the present embodiment, the same “relation code (relation code)” is added to each desired file among the music files and related files stored in the memory 14. A plurality of files with the same “relation code” can be easily associated with each other.

  This relationship code is a file provided by a provider who provides a music file and related files (for example, an administrator of a website that distributes music files) as shown in FIG. Are added in advance. As will be described later, the control unit 15 of the mobile phone detects the relevance of each file based on the relation code added to each file, and manages each file.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the same relation code is added to the header information of each file selected by the user or selected by the user as shown in FIG. 3 (c). The same relation code may be added to the file name of each file (= the relation code is incorporated into a part of the file name).

  In this case, the user performs an operation to specify file association via the operation unit 6. When this designation operation is detected, the control unit 15 reads the file name of each file stored in the memory 14, for example, and controls the display on the display unit 5 as shown in FIG. FIG. 4A shows the “file name of a music file of a song called rainy day”, “file name of a song of a song called rainy day (text file)”, and “the lyrics of a song of a cloudy sky (text file)” "File name of image file", "File name of image file titled" Hydrangea "", and "File name of image file titled" Summer Festival "" are shown .

  By operating the operation unit 6, the user selects and operates a file to be associated from among the files displayed on the display unit 5 as illustrated in FIG. The example shown in FIG. 4 (b) is an image with the titles "Music file of song called Rainy Day", "Text file of song lyrics called Rainy Day", and "Hydrangea". An example in which “file” is selected as a file to be associated is shown.

  When the user selects the file to be associated in this way, the user presses the enter key of the operation unit 6. In this case, when the control unit 15 detects the pressing operation of the determination key, for example, as shown in FIG. 4C, the display unit 5 controls to display the file name of each file whose association is designated by the above selection by the user. .

  Further, the control unit 15 forms a unique relation code (the relation code may be a code input by the user), and this is a reserved area of header information of each file selected by the user. (See FIG. 3 (b)), or the file name of each file is rewritten and controlled by incorporating a relation code into a part of the file name of each file selected by the user (see FIG. 3 (c)). ).

  When the unique relation code formed by the control unit 15 is “1234”, for example, a new file name created by incorporating the relation code into a part of the file name is “day when it rains. 1234.txt (txt is the extension of the text file) "or" day when it rains. 1234.jpg (jpg is the extension of the image file) ".

[Management operation of associated files]
Next, when a relation code is added to each file in this way, each file associated automatically or semi-automatically is recognized and managed by the control unit 15.

[Automatic management]
First, when a music file or a related file is downloaded by a provider who provides the music file or its related file, each associated file can be automatically managed. The flowchart of FIG. 5 shows the flow of operation in the case of this automatic management. This flowchart is started based on a file management program stored in the memory 14 by the control unit 15 when a file is downloaded from a website on the mobile phone or when a file is read from the external memory 11. Let

  When this flowchart is started, the control unit 15 confirms the downloaded or read file in step S1, and advances the process to step S2.

  Next, in the case of this mobile phone, the user can select and set in advance whether or not to perform the automatic management, and this setting information is stored in the memory 14. Therefore, in step S2, the control unit 15 determines whether or not automatic management is set based on the setting information stored in the memory 14, and if this automatic setting is not made, Then, the flowchart of FIG. 5 is finished as it is.

  On the other hand, when the automatic setting has been made, the control unit 15 advances the processing to step S3, and determines whether or not a relation code is added to the downloaded or read file.

  Specifically, in this example, as shown in FIG. 6A, for example, a relation code such as “code: 1234” is added to the header information in advance by each provider in each file. Therefore, the control unit 15 searches the header information to determine the presence / absence of the relation code. If the relation code is not added, the file cannot be automatically managed. Therefore, the flowchart of FIG. 5 is ended as it is, and if the relation code is added, the process proceeds to step S4. .

  In step S4, the control unit 15 determines whether or not a folder (relation folder) corresponding to the relation code detected in step S3 exists in the memory 14. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 6B, when a text file with a relation code “code: 1234” is downloaded, the control unit 15 performs step S <b> 4 in FIG. 6C. As shown in FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not a relation folder having the relation code “code: 1234” exists in the memory 14.

  That is, in FIG. 6C, a folder formed by the music file a and the image file a to which “code: 1234” is attached is this relation folder. Similarly, a folder formed by the music file b and the image file b with “code: 5252” and a folder formed by the music file c and the image file c with “code: 8818” are It is a relation folder.

  In the case of this example, since the downloaded text file is assigned the relation code “code: 1234”, the control unit 15 determines the relation corresponding to the relation code “code: 1234” in step S4. The folder (= relation folder of the music file a and the image file a) is detected.

  Next, when it is determined in step S4 that the relation folder corresponding to the relation code does not exist in the memory 14, the control unit 15 proceeds to step S6 and is attached to the file stored in the memory 14. A relation folder corresponding to the relation code is formed in the memory 14, and the process proceeds to step S5.

  Next, in step S4, it is detected that a relation folder corresponding to the relation code exists in the memory 14, or processing is performed by newly forming a relation folder corresponding to the relation code in step S6. In step S5, the control unit 15 controls the movement of the downloaded file or the like to the detected or newly formed relation folder, and ends the flowchart of FIG.

  Specifically, the downloaded file is a text file with a relation code “code: 1234”, and a relation “code: 1234” composed of a music file a and an image file a in the memory 14. When the folder is detected, as shown in FIG. 6D, the control unit 15 controls the movement of the text file with the relation code “code: 1234” attached to the relation folder “code: 1234”. To do. Then, the relation folder of “code: 1234” is updated as a relation folder consisting of the music file a, the image file a, and the text file a, and the flowchart of FIG. 5 ends.

[Semi-automatic management]
Next, as described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4C, when the association of each file is performed manually, the control unit 15 performs the operations shown in the flowchart of FIG. Semi-automatic management. This flowchart starts when the control unit 15 detects that file association is designated by the user via the operation unit 6.

  In step S11, as described with reference to FIG. 4A, the control unit 15 controls the display of the list of file names of each file stored in the memory 11 on the display unit 5, and the process proceeds to step S12. Proceed.

  As described with reference to FIG. 4B, the user selects a file to be associated from the list-displayed files and operates the enter key to designate the association of the selected file. However, in step S12, the control unit 15 determines whether or not the file to be associated has been selected by determining whether or not the determination key is operated, and the timing at which the selection is detected. Then, the process proceeds to step S13.

  Next, in step S13, the control unit 15 adds a relation code to each file selected by the user in step S12. The addition of the relation code may be added to the reserved area of the header information of each file as described with reference to FIG. 3B, or as described with reference to FIG. It may be added as part of the file name of the file. Further, as the relationship code added to each file, the control unit 15 may form a unique relationship code, or a relationship code input by the user may be used.

  Next, in step S <b> 14, the control unit 15 creates a relation folder in the memory 14 for storing each file specified in step S <b> 12. A predetermined folder name is added to this relation folder.

  As the folder name of the relation folder, the control unit 15 adds all or part of the relation code added to each file in step S13 to the relation folder as the folder name. Alternatively, the control unit 15 controls the display unit 5 to display a message that prompts the user to input a folder name, such as “Please enter a folder name”, and the folder name input by the user in response to this message. All or part of the folder name is added to the relation folder.

  Next, in step S15, the control unit 15 stores each file with the relation code added to the relation folder with the folder name added, and ends the flowchart shown in FIG. As a result, it is necessary to manually select a file to be associated, but after this file is selected, each file is automatically stored and managed in a related folder.

  As described above, the mobile phone according to the present embodiment specifies a desired file, so that a relation code is automatically or semi-automatically added to each file, and files with the same relation code added to each other. Are managed as related files. For this reason, it is possible to easily manage a desired file with relevance at a desired timing.

[Relation management table]
In the above description, each file having the same relation code is managed as a file having relevance by adding the same relation code to each file having relevance. As shown in FIG. 3D, for example, file A, file B and file E are the first file group, file D, file C and file F are the second file group, etc. A relation management table for managing which file group belongs may be provided in the memory 14, and the relation of each file may be managed by this relation management table.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the update operation of the relation management table that manages the relevance of each file. The flowchart of FIG. 8 starts when the control unit 15 detects that file association is designated by the user via the operation unit 6.

  In step S21, the control unit 15 controls the display unit 5 to display a list of file names of each file stored in the memory 11 as described with reference to FIG. Proceed.

  As described with reference to FIG. 4B, the user selects a file to be associated from the list-displayed files and operates the enter key to designate the association of the selected file. However, in step S22, the control unit 15 recognizes each file manually selected by the user and advances the process to step S23.

  In step S23, the control unit 15 forms a relation folder in the memory 14 for storing each file designated by the user in step S21, and each file designated by the user in this relation folder. And the process proceeds to step S24.

  In step S24, as shown in FIG. 3D, the control unit 15 newly forms a relation management table indicating the relationship between each folder and the file stored in each folder in step S23. The relation management table is updated by storing and controlling the folder name of the relation folder and each file name stored in the relation folder, and the flowchart of FIG. 8 ends.

  By providing the relationship management table in the memory 14 in this way, it is possible to manage the relevance of each file without using a relationship code.

[Playback operation]
Next, by storing each file in association with each other in this way, it becomes possible to reproduce the other file related to the one file during the reproduction of the one file.

[Play music files]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of an operation for reproducing a text file such as lyrics during reproduction of a music file. This flowchart starts when a user designates playback of a music file via the operation unit 6.

  In step S31, the control unit 15 reads out the music file selected by the user and designated for reproduction from the memory 14, controls the sound generation via the speaker unit 3, and displays the file name and the like of the music file in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the display is controlled on the display unit 5 and the process proceeds to step S32.

  Next, in step S32, the control unit 15 searches the memory 14 for a file related to the music file designated to be played by the user (= the music file currently being played), as shown in FIG. 10B. A list of file names of the related files is displayed on the display unit 5. In the example shown in FIG. 10B, the file name of the music file currently being played is “day when it rains (= song name)”. ”,“ Hydrangea flower image ”,“ the rainy day homepage URL (official site) ”,“ the rainy day message dial (telephone service) ”, and“ discount coupon ”related files 14 is stored in the memory.

  The user selects a desired file from the related files displayed in this way and designates playback. When the text file “Lyrics on a rainy day” is selected from the related files by the user, the control unit 15 selects the text file from the files stored in the memory 14 in step S33. The search is advanced to step S34.

  In step S34, the control unit 15 determines whether or not the text file can be played back during playback of the music file. If it is determined that the text file cannot be played back, in step S36, for example, “the file is An error message such as “Cannot be reproduced” is displayed on the display unit 5 and the flowchart of FIG. 9 is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the text file can be reproduced, the control unit 15 uses the lyrics of the song “rainy day” currently being reproduced as shown in FIG. 10C in step S35. A text file is read from the memory 14 and displayed on the display unit 5 and the flowchart of FIG. 9 is terminated.

  In this example, the reproduction of the text file is designated from the list during the reproduction of the music file. However, the same operation flow is performed when the reproduction of the image file is designated from the list. In this case, in step S34, the control unit 15 determines whether or not the image file can be played back during playback of the music file. If it is determined that the image file cannot be played back, in step S36, for example, An error message such as “The file cannot be reproduced” is displayed on the display unit 5 and the flowchart of FIG. 9 ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the image file can be reproduced, the control unit 15 matches the song “rainy day” currently being reproduced as shown in FIG. 10D in step S35. For example, an image of a hydrangea flower, which is an image, is read from the memory 14 and displayed on the display unit 5, and the flowchart of FIG. 9 ends.

[Message Dial]
Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a flow of an operation of receiving a telephone service related to the music being reproduced during reproduction of the music file. This flowchart starts when a user designates playback of a music file via the operation unit 6.

  In step S41, the control unit 15 reads out the music file selected by the user and designated for reproduction from the memory 14, controls the sound generation via the speaker unit 3, and displays the file name and the like of the music file in FIG. As shown, the display control is performed on the display unit 5 and the process proceeds to step S42.

  Next, in step S42, the control unit 15 searches the memory 14 for a file related to the music file designated to be played by the user (= the music file currently being played), as shown in FIG. 10B. A list of file names of the related files is displayed on the display unit 5. The user selects a desired file from the related files displayed in the list and designates playback. When “message dial” is selected from the related files by the user, the control unit 15 searches for the text file of the message dial from each file stored in the memory 14 in step S43, and As shown in FIG. 12, a message asking whether or not to dial is displayed on the display unit 5 and the process proceeds to step S44.

  When execution of dial transmission is designated by the user in response to this message, the control unit 15 determines in step S44 whether or not dial transmission is possible during reproduction of the music file, and dial transmission cannot be performed. In step S45, for example, an error message such as “Dialing is not possible during music playback” is displayed on the display unit 5 and the flowchart of FIG. 11 is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that dial transmission is possible, the control unit 15 controls to stop the reproduction of the music file currently being performed in step S46. Then, in step S47, the communication circuit 2 is controlled so as to dial the “message dial” telephone number. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the telephone is connected to the telephone service operated by the seller of the above “day when it rains”, and for example, the message of the singer can be heard.

[Access to website and discount coupon service]
Next, when “Homepage link” is selected from the list of files, a related web site is automatically accessed, and a predetermined service such as downloading of a “discount coupon” can be received.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a flow of an operation of accessing a Web site related to the music being reproduced and receiving a discount coupon download service during reproduction of the music file. This flowchart starts when a user designates playback of a music file via the operation unit 6.

  In step S51, the control unit 15 controls the reproduction of the music file selected by the user and designated to be reproduced, and reads the file names of the related files of the music file from the memory 14 and displays them in a list on the display unit 5 for processing. Advances to step S52.

  When the “homepage link” shown in FIG. 10B is selected by the user during the reproduction of the music file, the control unit 15 attempts to access the website during the reproduction of the music file in step S52. If it is possible, a text file stored in the memory 14 in which the URL of the home page related to the music file being reproduced is recorded is read out. In step S53, the communication circuit 2 is controlled to access the URL website. As a result, the Web site related to the music file currently being played is automatically accessed, and the user can browse the home page as shown in FIG. 14, for example.

  Here, in this Web site, for example, a “discount coupon” download service is held, and when the user downloads this “discount coupon”, the control unit 15 performs step S54 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the display unit 5 controls the display of the “discount coupon” image downloaded from the Web site. The example of FIG. 15A is an example in which a discount coupon is downloaded with a so-called two-dimensional code.

  Next, the control unit 15 controls the display unit 5 to display a message asking whether or not to save the downloaded discount coupon in the memory, and when “save” is selected by the user, in step S55 and step S56. Then, the saving coupon file is controlled to be stored in the relation folder as the related file of the music file, thereby completing the flowchart of FIG.

  For example, a user who has downloaded a discount coupon in this manner brings the mobile phone to a store or the like, displays the discount coupon on the display unit 5 and hands the mobile phone to a store clerk. The store clerk reads the discount coupon that is a two-dimensional code by using a code reader device as shown in FIG. If it is recognized by this reading operation that the discount coupon is a regular discount coupon, it is possible to receive a predetermined service such as, for example, a 100-yen discount can be purchased on a “rainy day” CD.

[Ring melody download service]
Next, a novel network service described below can be provided using the browsing function of the mobile phone of the embodiment. The flow of this service is shown in the flowchart of FIG. 16 and the schematic diagram of FIG.

  First, as shown in step S61 and FIG. 17 in the flowchart of FIG. 16, this service is carried out by a user carrying the mobile phone to a store and using an electronic wallet function provided in the mobile phone. Purchase a product. The store clerk transmits service point data corresponding to the purchased product to the user's portable terminal device via the reader / writer device at the time of payment using the electronic wallet function (contactless wireless communication function). . The control unit 15 of the user's mobile terminal device stores and controls the service point data in the memory 14. As a result, as shown in step S62 and FIG. 17, the memory 14 of the user's mobile terminal device stores the service point data every time a product is purchased at a predetermined store.

  This service point can be exchanged for a prize corresponding to the accumulated point. For this reason, the user accesses a predetermined website using the browsing function of the mobile phone as shown in step S63 and FIG. 17 at the timing when service points worth exchanging with desired prizes are accumulated in the memory 14. To do.

  Then, as shown in step S64 and FIG. 17, the desired ringing melody and the service point stored in the memory 14 are exchanged. When this exchange operation is performed, the control unit 15 transmits the above-described service point data stored in the memory 14 via the base station, the communication network (shown as a communication network in FIG. 17), and the host server device. The service point data for the point corresponding to the incoming melody to be exchanged is transmitted to the Web server device on the Internet, and the service point data for the transmitted point is deleted from the memory 14.

  When receiving the service point data, the Web server device returns the incoming data of the incoming melody to the user's mobile terminal device. The control unit 15 of the user's mobile terminal device captures the incoming data via the antenna 1 and the communication circuit 2 and controls the storage to the memory 14.

  Here, in the incoming data downloaded from the Web server device, as described with reference to FIG. 3A, a relation code is inserted in the reserved area of the header information. Therefore, as described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5, the control unit 15 forms a relation folder in the memory 14 based on the relation code included in the incoming data, and stores the incoming data in the relation folder. To do.

  Accordingly, it is possible to provide a new network service that enables downloading of incoming melody or the like from a predetermined Web site with service points accumulated by purchasing a product at a predetermined store.

[Present service based on television broadcast viewing certificate]

When this operation is performed, the control unit 15 performs channel selection control of the program designated by the user via the television unit 13 shown in FIG. 1 and controls display of the program video on the display unit 5 as well as program audio. Sound generation is controlled through the speaker unit 3.

  Next, on the broadcast station side, as shown in FIG. 19, broadcasting is performed by superimposing the viewing certificate data on the television signal of this program at a predetermined timing. When detecting the reception of the viewing certificate data, the control unit 15 of the mobile phone extracts the viewing certificate data from the television signal in step S76. In the viewing certificate data, as described with reference to FIG. 3A, a relation code is inserted in the reserved area of the header information. This relation code is the same relation code as the relation code attached to the music file being reproduced by the user. For this reason, the control unit 15 searches the memory 14 for a relation folder in which the music file being played by the user is stored based on the relation code attached to the data of the viewing certificate, and in step S77, The viewing certificate data is stored in this relation folder.

  Next, in step S78, the user re-views the homepage related to the music file being reproduced by displaying the file list again and selecting the “homepage link” again. This homepage is solicited to give a present to a user who has posted a viewing certificate. For this reason, in step S79, the user fills in the present application form with the necessary information, and attaches the viewing certificate acquired in step S76 and step S77 and transmits it.

  Each data of the application form and the viewing certificate is transmitted by the control unit 15 to the Web server device of the broadcasting station via the base station, the communication network (communication network), the host server device, and the Internet. On the broadcast station side, a winner is determined from the users whose application forms and viewing certificates are tabulated by the Web server device, and a prize is mailed to the user's home or the like at a later date.

  This makes it possible to provide a new network service that provides a present service based on a television broadcast viewing certificate.
