Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile phone having a function of displaying the latest incoming call information on a standby screen when a folding mechanism is opened.

  When the user uses the mobile phone, the folding mechanism is opened, the function key is operated, and the menu is clicked. Check the reception status and read the URL, title, icon, etc. displayed on the standby screen. Select the required mail and click it. The general procedure is to view the text on the standby screen. Although this procedure may seem simple at first glance, it is cumbersome and may miss the timing to view important emails and may not be able to handle urgent information.

  Even if you receive an e-mail, you may forget the display operation and cannot see it. In addition, there is a disadvantage that information may be stolen while going to the mail server.

  Users often change their e-mail addresses in order to take measures against spam to refuse to receive abnormal information. A mobile phone whose e-mail address has been changed is disadvantageous in that it cannot receive information. When a user uses a mobile phone, these drawbacks are a great obstacle to operability.

As a measure to improve this, there is a method of displaying the latest information sent from the telephone network without operating the folding mechanism on the back of the cellular phone having the folding mechanism. In order to display the contents of the information instead of displaying the contents, it is necessary to further repeat the procedure.

Since the information is compressed, there is an advantage that it is difficult to eavesdrop on the way of communication.

  The present invention is equipped with a Java (registered trademark No. 4108642) program or a BREW (registered trademark No. 4674665) program, and has a browser for displaying the latest received information on the standby screen, and a standby screen generation program. Provided is a mobile phone in an execution environment, and a server distributes a standby screen generation program and information in order to answer a request from the mobile phone.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an operation in which a user downloads a standby screen generation program from a server and makes the mobile phone resident. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the standby screen generation program, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the server information distribution method.

  With reference to FIG. 1, the main components of the mobile phone 1 and the server 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The mobile phone 1 includes a communication unit 11, an update unit 12, a search unit 13, a display unit 14, a recording unit 15, and an operation unit 16. The communication unit 11 includes a circuit that constantly performs reception, and communicates information with the antenna 20 of the server 2 through the antenna 10. The meaning of always receiving always includes meaning at any time or on time. The recording unit 15 includes a standby screen generation program area 151, a reception information area 152, and a term area 153, and stores the standby screen generation program downloaded from the server 2 at the start of operation in the standby screen generation program area 151. Information that is always obtained is stored in the reception information storage area 152, a term to be extracted from the sentence is set in advance, and stored in the term area 153. The update unit 12 includes a circuit that executes a function for updating information, and operates to compare newly received information with old information on the standby screen and always send new information to the standby screen. The search unit 13 includes a circuit that executes a function for searching for a term, and compares the term existing in the sentence of new information sent to the standby screen with the term registered and stored in the term area 153. , Operates to send the result to the standby screen. The display unit 14 includes a display for displaying information on the standby screen when the folding mechanism is opened. The operation unit 16 includes function keys necessary for executing the operation of the mobile phone.

  The server 2 includes a site screen 21 and a recording unit 22, and the recording unit 22 includes a personal information area 221, a standby screen generation program area 222, and an information area 223. The mobile phone 1 communicates with the antenna 20. Information transmitted from the mobile phone 1 is classified and stored in the information area 223 for each subscriber ID.

  With reference to FIG. 2, a procedure for obtaining the standby screen generation program from the server according to the first embodiment of the present invention and a procedure for making the mobile phone 1 resident will be described. The user accesses the site 21 of the server 2 (step S21). Registration data is input (step S22). The registration data includes personal information in addition to the telephone number. The server reads the model number, serial number, etc. of the mobile phone as a subscriber ID and registers it as a part of personal information. These data are stored in the personal information area 221 of the recording unit 22. The server 2 checks the distribution conditions such as a contract (step S23). Upon completion of the confirmation, it is determined whether or not to distribute the standby screen generation program stored in the program area 222 of the recording unit 22. If the conditions are established, the download of the standby screen generation program is started (step S24). The downloaded standby screen generation program is stored in the standby screen generation program area 151 of the mobile phone 1, and is automatically decompressed, installed, and made resident (step S25).

  The operation steps of the standby screen generation program will be described with reference to FIG. Since the mobile phone of the present invention is loaded with the Java program or the BREW program, the resident standby screen generation program runs without any user intervention. The sequence of steps is always active as long as the mobile phone is powered on. However, it goes without saying that if the operation of the standby screen generation program is manually stopped, the mobile phone returns to a normal function.

  The mobile phone 1 always accesses the server 2 and receives information (step S31). Information that does not pass through the server is received through a general-purpose reception path (step S32). The received information is stored in the reception information area 152 of the recording unit 15 (step S33). An update operation is performed in order to update the old information on the standby screen immediately before a new arrival (step S34). The term existing in the updated latest information sentence is set and registered, and compared with the term stored in the term area 153, the corresponding term is searched (step S35). If there is a corresponding term as a result of the search, in order to call the user's attention, the standby screen expression processing such as layout change, color change, dynamic display, etc. is performed (step S36). Next, the information is sent to the standby screen (step S37). The user opens the mobile phone 1 (step S38). Next, the information is displayed and can be read (step S39).

  Next, the procedure in which the server 2 distributes information to the user's mobile phone 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, step S <b> 31, the user-side mobile phone 1 always accesses the server 2. (Step S41). The server 2 collates with the data in the personal information area 221 whether it is a legitimate access or a registered telephone number (step S42). Next, the subscriber ID recorded in the personal information area 221 is determined, and at the same time, it is also checked whether or not the mobile phone 1 belongs to a legitimate user with the subscriber ID (step S43). Next, the data stored in the information area 223 is extracted for each subscriber ID (step S44). The extracted information is compressed and sent to the subscriber ID (step S45). In this embodiment, since the information transmitted from the server 2 to the mobile phone 1 uses not the e-mail address but the subscriber ID, the standby screen generation program operates and is displayed directly on the standby screen. .

  The second embodiment of the present invention basically has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but the form of the mobile phone is different. The standby screen generation program is resident in a telephone that has no folding mechanism and that simply has a standby screen exposed on the surface or a rotary type telephone that replaces the folding mechanism. The action can be applied.

  The third embodiment of the present invention basically has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but the search step in the standby screen generation program is different. The difference is that the search step in the standby screen generation program is replaced with other operating conditions regardless of terms. Although it is extremely easy to replace the search condition with others, it is possible to apply in a wide range of scenes by making the standby screen suitable for a certain operation condition visible instantly.

  The mobile phone of the present invention downloads information at any time, always displays the latest information on the standby screen, and has a function to search for emergency terms. When the phone is opened, the contents can be accurately and urgently notified. In particular, it can be widely applied to disaster relief and fire fighting activities.
