JP5003138B2 - Address management program, recording medium recording the program, and mobile phone terminal - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to an address management program for transmitting and receiving a short message with a telephone number as a destination by using a short message service, a recording medium recording the program, an address management method, and a mobile phone terminal.

  At present, a so-called number portability system has been introduced in which a current telephone number can be continuously used even if a mobile phone terminal operator (carrier) is changed. With the introduction of this number portability system, the liquidity of users between carriers is expected to increase.

  However, when the carrier of a mobile phone terminal is changed using the number portability system, the current phone number is taken over, but the e-mail address is not taken over. For this reason, when changing careers, it is necessary to inform each acquaintance registered in the address book of the mobile phone terminal of the new mail address, which is a very troublesome work for the user.

  In addition, even when the mail address is changed for the purpose of preventing unwanted mail transmitted unilaterally without the user's consent, the same troublesome work as described above is required. For this reason, there are many users who hesitate to change carriers or email addresses.

  Therefore, in order to reduce the work effort of the user when changing the mail address, for example, a mobile phone terminal is provided that can send e-mails such as a mail address change notification to a plurality of destinations in a lump ( For example, see the following Patent Document 1.)

JP 2003-052071 A

  However, in the above-described prior art of Patent Document 1, when the mail address of the other party is changed, an e-mail addressed to the mail address before the change is not transmitted to the other party, resulting in a transmission error.

  In such a case, in order to convey information to the partner having the transmission error, a troublesome work such as making a call or meeting and talking directly is necessary, and there is still a problem that the burden on the user is still large.

  In addition, when a call is made to a partner who has caused a transmission error, it is necessary to make a call again after some time if the call is in progress or is out of service area. For this reason, there is a problem that not only the transmission of information is delayed, but also that the user forgets to make a call again and the transmission of information is lost.

  In addition, when there are a large number of destinations with transmission errors, it is difficult to convey information without leaking to all parties, and there is a high possibility that transmission leakage will occur. .

  In order to solve the above-described problems caused by the prior art, the present invention can reduce information transmission omission by improving the reachability of information and can improve the convenience of the user, It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording medium on which the program is recorded, an address management method, and a mobile phone terminal.

As a result of receiving the e-mail, the e-mail regarding the non-delivery of the e-mail is received due to the absence of the e-mail address of the e-mail. A telephone number is extracted from a group of address data recorded by associating a mail address with a telephone number, and a short message addressed to the extracted telephone number is transmitted to the other mobile phone terminal by a short message service. It is characterized by that.

  According to the present invention, when the e-mail is not delivered due to the absence of the e-mail address, the short message can be automatically transmitted to the other party of the e-mail by the short message service.

  In the above invention, a short message indicating a transmission request for the current mail address of another mobile phone terminal may be transmitted.

  According to the present invention, a notification request for the mail address of another mobile phone terminal that is not recorded in the address data group can be transmitted to the user of the other mobile phone terminal.

  Moreover, in the said invention, it is good also as deleting the mail address of the said undelivered e-mail from the said address data group.

  According to the present invention, by deleting the mail address of the undelivered e-mail, it is possible to prevent the useless transmission of e-mail addressed to a non-existing mail address.

  In the above invention, as a result of the transmission of the short message, the short message service receives a short message from the other mobile phone terminal, and the transmission source telephone number of the received short message is the address data group. The detected telephone number may be associated with the mail address described in the short message from the other mobile phone terminal.

  According to this invention, it is possible to automatically associate the telephone number of the short message transmission source with the mail address described in the short message.

  According to the address management program, the recording medium on which the program is recorded, the address management method, and the mobile phone terminal according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce information transmission omission by enhancing the reachability of information and to improve user convenience.

(Functional configuration of mobile phone terminal)
Next, the functional configuration of the mobile phone terminals 101 and 102 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the mobile phone terminal 101 according to the embodiment of the present invention. 4, the mobile phone terminal 101 includes an address book DB 105, a receiving unit 401, an extracting unit 402, a transmitting unit 403, a deleting unit 404, a detecting unit 405, and an associating unit 406.

  Specifically, each of these functional configurations 401 to 406 is executed by causing the CPU 201 to execute a program recorded on a recording medium such as the ROM 202, the RAM 203, and the HD 205 shown in FIG. The function is realized by F209.

  The receiving unit 401 has a function of receiving an e-mail regarding non-delivery of the e-mail when the e-mail is not transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 102 and there is no e-mail address of the e-mail.

  The non-delivery e-mail is an e-mail indicating that an e-mail is not delivered to the mobile phone terminal 102 and a transmission error occurs because there is no e-mail address set as a destination. Note that the e-mail regarding non-delivery received by the receiving unit 401 is stored in a recording medium such as the HD 205.

  When the receiving unit 401 receives an undelivered e-mail, the extracting unit 402 records the telephone number associated with the unreachable e-mail address in association with the e-mail address and the telephone number. It has a function to extract from the data group. Specifically, first, an undelivered e-mail stored in a recording medium such as the HD 205 is read, and the e-mail address of the undelivered e-mail is specified from the address book DB 105.

  Then, the telephone number associated with the specified mail address is extracted from the address book DB 105. Note that the telephone number extracted by the extraction unit 402 is stored in a recording medium such as the ROM 202 or the RAM 203.

  The transmission unit 403 has a function of transmitting a short message addressed to the telephone number extracted by the extraction unit 402 to the mobile phone terminal 102 by the short message service. Specifically, a telephone number stored in a recording medium such as ROM 202 or RAM 203 is read, a short message is created with the read telephone number as a destination, and is transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 102.

  By using the short message service, the mobile phone terminal 101 can transmit a short message whose destination is a telephone number without using the Internet. Therefore, a short message can be transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 102 even when the e-mail address of the mobile phone terminal 102 is not known.

  At this time, the short message to be transmitted may be created based on an undelivered e-mail, for example. More specifically, for example, when the undelivered e-mail has contents for notifying the change of the mail address, a short message including at least the contents may be created.

  Further, it may be a short message indicating a transmission request for the current mail address of the mobile phone terminal 102. Thereby, a notification request regarding the mail address of the new mobile phone terminal 102 which is not stored in the address book DB 105 can be transmitted to the user of the mobile phone terminal 102.

  The deletion unit 404 has a function of deleting the mail address of the undelivered electronic mail from the address data group. Specifically, the deletion unit 404 deletes from the address book DB 105 a mail address of the email that has not been delivered, that is, a mail address that no longer exists. As a result, it is possible to delete the waste of sending an e-mail addressed to a mail address that does not already exist.

  The reception unit 401 has a function of receiving a short message from the mobile phone terminal 102 by a short message service as a result of the transmission of the short message by the transmission unit 403. Specifically, the receiving unit 401 receives a reply of the short message transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 102 from the mobile phone terminal 102 by using the short message service.

  More specifically, the receiving unit 401 receives a short message indicating the current mail address of the other mobile phone terminal 102 from the mobile phone terminal 102. Note that the short message received by the receiving unit 401 is stored in a recording medium such as the HD 205.

  The detection unit 405 has a function of detecting the telephone number of the transmission source of the short message received by the reception unit 401 from the address data group. Specifically, for example, a short message stored in a recording medium such as HD 205 is read to detect the telephone number of the transmission source.

  Further, a character string described in a specific format is extracted as a mail address from the text of the short message. For example, the symbol “@” is searched from the text, and a series of character strings before and after that are extracted as mail addresses.

  At this time, the mobile phone terminal 102 that is the transmission source can be identified by collating the detected telephone number of the transmission source with the telephone number registered in the address book DB 105. Note that the telephone number detected by the detection unit 405 and the mail address extracted from the text are stored in a recording medium such as the ROM 202 or the RAM 203.

  The associating unit 406 has a function of associating the telephone number detected by the detecting unit 405 with the mail address described in the short message from the mobile phone terminal 102. Specifically, the telephone number and the mail address stored in the recording medium such as the ROM 202 and the RAM 203 are read out and associated as the telephone number and the mail address of the mobile phone terminal 102.

  The telephone number and mail address of the mobile phone terminal 102 associated by the associating unit 406 may be registered in association with the address book DB 105 as the latest address information. At this time, the user may be allowed to select whether or not to update the address information of the mobile phone terminal 102.

  Specifically, for example, a message indicating whether or not to update the address information of the mobile phone terminal 102 may be displayed on the display 208, and a selection input by the user may be accepted. If a selection input for updating is received, the address information of the mobile phone terminal 102 is updated.

  Note that the reception unit 401 may receive an e-mail from the mobile phone terminal 102 as a result of the transmission of the short message by the transmission unit 403. In this case, the detection unit 405 detects a telephone number from the text of the email received by the reception unit 401 and also detects the email address of the email.

  Specifically, the detection unit 405 detects the email address of the received electronic mail as the email address of the mobile phone terminal 102. Further, a numeric string described in a specific format is detected as a telephone number from the body of the electronic mail. For example, a number string in which 11 numbers are arranged from the text is detected as a telephone number.

(Example of screen displayed on display 208 of mobile phone terminal 101)
Next, an example of a screen displayed on the display 208 of the mobile phone terminal 101 will be described. FIGS. 5-1 to 5-5 are explanatory diagrams illustrating examples of display screens displayed on the mobile phone terminal 101.

  Here, it is assumed that the user of the mobile phone terminal 101 changes the carrier of the mobile phone terminal 101 by using the number portability system. The number portability system is a service that allows users to continue using their current telephone number even if they change careers.

  When the carrier of the mobile phone terminal 101 is changed using the number portability system, the current telephone number is taken over, but the e-mail address is not taken over. Therefore, the user of the mobile phone terminal 101 notifies the contact address registered in the address book DB 105 of the new mail address.

  In FIG. 5A, the created e-mail is displayed on the display 208 of the mobile phone terminal 101. To create an e-mail, first, information for contacting the other party is input to the mobile phone terminal 101. Specifically, for example, when the user operates the operation panel 210 of the mobile phone terminal 101, a message indicating that the mail address has been changed is input.

  At this time, a template recorded in advance in a memory such as the HD 205 may be read out and input as contact information. The input information is set in the contact information work file. The contact information work file is an e-mail creation file and is stored in a recording medium such as the ROM 202 or the RAM 203.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a contact information work file. In FIG. 6, a message indicating that the mail address has been changed is set in the contact information work file. By setting the message to be contacted in the contact information work file, when sending an e-mail to a plurality of destinations, it is not necessary to input information to be contacted individually, and the troublesome work of the user can be reduced.

  Returning to the explanation of FIG. 5A, next, after setting the contact information work file, the record of the other party is designated from among a plurality of records constituting the address book DB 105. Specifically, for example, when the user operates the operation panel 210, the address information of the other party is specified from the address information of the plurality of contacts displayed on the display 208.

  Further, it is possible to designate all contacts as destinations by using a function for collectively designating all records constituting the address book DB 105. When the record designation is completed, the electronic mail shown in FIG.

  Here, since the record of management ID: 001, 002, 003 (see FIG. 3) is designated, “001 @ .ezo.ne.jp” and “002 @ .doco.ne.jp” are used as e-mail destinations. “003 @ .doco.ne.jp” is set. Furthermore, the information set in the contact information work file is displayed as the text. Here, the message shown in FIG. 6 is set in the contact information work file.

  When the record designation is completed, the management ID of the designated record is set in the contact status management DB 106. The contact status management DB 106 is a database that manages the contact status with the other party. Details of the contact status management DB 106 will be described later.

  When the creation of the e-mail is completed, the e-mail is then transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 101 to the destination designated for the record. Specifically, for example, when the user presses a transmission key provided on the operation panel 210 of the mobile phone terminal 101, an e-mail is transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 101 to the other party.

  As a result of the transmission of the e-mail, if the e-mail address set as the destination does not exist, the mobile phone terminal 101 sends a non-delivery notification regarding the non-delivery of the transmitted e-mail to the e-mail server 103 (see FIG. 1). Will be received from.

  In FIG. 5B, the non-delivery notice received as a transmission error is displayed on the display 208 of the mobile phone terminal 101. This non-delivery notification is an e-mail indicating that the e-mail has not been transmitted to the other party's mobile phone terminal 102 because the e-mail address of the other party's mobile phone terminal 102 does not exist.

  For example, the other party's e-mail address is changed because the other party's user changes the carrier using the number portability system or changes the e-mail address as a countermeasure against spam mail. Note that even when the other party's user cancels the contract of the mobile phone terminal 102, the other party's mail address does not exist, but this is not included here.

  Here, it is indicated that the e-mail has not been delivered because the mail address of the other party with the management ID: 002 (see FIG. 3) does not exist. That is, since the user with the management ID: 002 has changed the mail address, “002@doco.ne.jp” set as the e-mail destination does not exist.

  When the non-delivery notice is received, the contact status of the management ID set in the contact status management DB 106 is updated. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the data structure of the contact status management DB 106. In FIG. 7, the contact status management DB 106 stores the contact status of e-mails and short messages for each set management ID.

  As a result of sending an e-mail, when an e-mail is delivered due to the presence of the other party's e-mail address, “Contacted” is set in the column indicating the e-mail contact status. Further, when the e-mail is not delivered due to the absence of the other party's mail address, the item indicating the contact status of the e-mail is set to “not delivered”.

  When a short message is transmitted after the e-mail is not delivered (details will be described later), “contacted” is set in the field indicating the short message contact status. When a short message is sent and a reply to the short message is received, “with reply” is set in the field indicating the contact status of the short message. On the other hand, “no reply” is set for those without a reply.

  Here, with respect to the management ID: 002, since a notification of non-delivery was received as a result of sending an e-mail, “non-delivery” is set in the column indicating the e-mail contact status. In addition, since a short message is transmitted as a result of receiving the non-delivery notification, “Contacted” is set in the field indicating the contact status of the short message. At this time, since there is no reply from the other party with the management ID: 002, “(reply not yet)” is further set in the column indicating the contact status of the short message.

  Next, the mobile phone terminal 101 identifies the other party that has caused a transmission error from the received non-delivery notice. Specifically, for example, the mobile phone terminal 101 determines whether or not the received e-mail is a non-delivery notification. If the e-mail is a non-delivery notification, the content of the non-delivery e-mail is the contact information. It is determined whether or not it matches the contents of the work file.

  If they match, the message indicating that the e-mail address has been changed is not notified to the other party. Next, a short message is notified. In this way, by determining whether or not the content of the contact information work file matches, it is determined whether or not the received non-delivery notice indicates an e-mail non-delivery related to the change of the e-mail address. To do.

  If they match, the mail address of the undelivered e-mail is extracted from the non-delivery notice. More specifically, for example, the symbol “@” in the notification of non-delivery may be searched, and a series of character strings described thereafter may be extracted as the mail address of the other party.

  Next, the corresponding record is searched from the address book DB 105 based on the extracted mail address, and the management ID and telephone number of the record are extracted. Then, a short message is created with the extracted telephone number as the destination. The content of the short message is obtained by adding a message indicating that the electronic mail has not been delivered to the content of the contact information work file shown in FIG.

  Specifically, for example, an additional message stored in advance on a recording medium such as HD 205 is read out and automatically added to the content of the contact information work file, thereby creating the content of the short message.

  In FIG. 5C, the created short message is displayed on the display 208 of the mobile phone terminal 101. Specifically, the telephone number “090-2345-xxx” is set as the destination. In addition, a message is added to the contents of the contact information work file as a transmission message in which a message indicating that a new mail address is to be notified because an e-mail has not been delivered is set.

  When the short message is created, the mobile phone terminal 101 then transmits the created short message. At this time, the short message may be automatically transmitted, or a display to the effect that the short message is transmitted may be displayed on the display 208 to allow the user to select whether or not to transmit the short message.

  Here, when the short message is transmitted, the contact status of the management ID set in the contact status management DB 106 is updated. The management ID at this time is the management ID extracted together with the telephone number. Specifically, when a short message is transmitted, “Contacted” is set in the field indicating the contact status of the short message (see FIG. 7).

  When the reply is received as a result of the transmission of the short message, a new mail address is extracted and stored as the mail address of the corresponding record in the address book DB 105. Specifically, the telephone number of the transmission source is specified from the returned short message and the mail address described in the text is extracted.

  Next, the corresponding record is searched from the address book DB 105 using the specified telephone number, and the management ID of the searched record is extracted. Further, the telephone number of the retrieved record is associated with the extracted mail address. Here, when the management ID is extracted, the contact status set in the contact status management DB 106 relating to this management ID is updated.

  Specifically, as a result of sending a short message, if there is a reply to the short message, “Reply” is set in the field indicating the contact status of the short message. (See FIG. 7).

  When the update of the contact status management DB 106 is completed, the selection of whether or not to update the extracted new mail address as the mail address of the corresponding record is accepted.

  In FIG. 5-4, a selection screen for determining whether or not to update the address book is displayed on the display 208 of the mobile phone terminal 101. Specifically, a selection screen for determining whether or not to update the address book, that is, the address book DB 105, is displayed based on the returned short message.

  The user operates the operation panel 210 of the mobile phone terminal 101 to select “N” or “N” for updating. Specifically, the key of the operation panel 210 is operated to move the cursor 540 displayed on the display 208, and “Y” or “N” is selected.

  Here, when “Y” is selected, the address book DB 105 is updated. Specifically, the mail address of the record with the management ID: 002 is updated from “002@doco.ne.jp” to “002@ezo.ne.jp”.

  If “N” is selected, the address book DB 105 is not updated. Here, the user is allowed to select whether or not to update, but may be automatically updated. That is, when there is a reply, the address book DB 105 is automatically updated.

  Note that, for example, when there is no reply for a certain period after the short message is transmitted, a message to that effect may be displayed on the display 208. In FIG. 5-5, a status notification indicating that there is no response to the short message is displayed on the display 208 of the mobile phone terminal 101.

  Specifically, a message indicating that there is no response from the name “◯ △” is displayed. By confirming this status notification, the user can recognize a partner who has not responded to the short message, and can prevent omission of contact, omission of update of e-mail address, and the like.

(Example of screen displayed on display 208 of mobile phone terminal 102)
Next, an example of a screen displayed on the display 208 of the counterpart mobile phone terminal 102 will be described. 8A and 8B are explanatory diagrams illustrating an example of a display screen displayed on the mobile phone terminal 102.

  In FIG. 8A, a display screen for selecting whether or not to reply to the received short message (see FIG. 5C) is displayed on the display 208 of the mobile phone terminal 102. Here, when “Y” is selected, a short message including the current mail address is automatically created and transmitted.

  In addition, when “N” is selected, there is no transmission. A reply to the short message (see FIG. 5-3) may be automatically made. In this case, when a short message indicating a mail address transmission request is received, a short message including the current mail address is automatically transmitted.

  Here, a short message including the current mail address will be described.

Specifically, for example, it is determined whether or not a non-delivery notice shown in FIG.

  Here, after receiving the non-delivery notification and receiving it (step S1001: Yes), it is determined whether or not the content of the non-delivery notification matches the content of the contact information work file (step S1002). If they match (step S1002: Yes), the extraction unit 402 extracts the mail address of the email that has not been reached from the non-delivery notification (step S1003). If they do not match (step S1002: No), the series of processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

  Then, the corresponding record is searched from the address book DB 105 based on the extracted mail address (step S1004), and the extraction unit 402 extracts the management ID and the telephone number from the address information of the searched record (step S1005).

  Next, a short message whose destination is the extracted telephone number is created (step S1006), and the created short message is transmitted by the transmission unit 403 (step S1007). Specifically, for example, the short message shown in FIG.

  Finally, the contact status management DB 106 is updated (step S1008), and the series of processing according to this flowchart is terminated. Specifically, “not reached” is set in the field indicating the contact status of the e-mail with the management ID detected in step S1005, and “not communicated (reply not yet)” is set in the column indicating the contact status of the short message. Set.

  Note that, after the management ID is extracted in step S1005, a process of setting “not reached” in the column indicating the contact status of the e-mail may be performed. In this case, after the short message is transmitted, a process of setting “contacted (no reply)” in the field indicating the contact status of the short message is performed.

  As a result, even if the e-mail is not delivered due to the absence of an e-mail address, information to be sent to the other party is sent to the other party by a short message using the short message service. can do.

  Further, when an e-mail is not delivered, a short message is automatically transmitted, so that the user's troublesome work for creating a short message is not required and the convenience can be improved. it can.

  In FIG. 11, the mobile phone terminal 101 first determines whether or not a short message notifying the mail address has been received (step S1101). Specifically, for example, when a short message having the telephone number that is the destination of the short message transmitted in step S1007 shown in FIG. 10 is received, it is determined that the short message notifying the mail address has been received. To do.

  If the short message is received and received (step S1101: Yes), the detection unit 405 detects the telephone number and the mail address from the short message (step S1102). Next, based on the detected telephone number, the corresponding record is searched from the address book DB 105 (step S1103), and the detection unit 405 detects the management ID from the address information of the searched record (step S1104).

  Then, the contact status management DB 106 is updated (step S1105). Specifically, “Contacted (with reply)” is set in the column indicating the contact status of the extracted short message of the management ID.

  Next, it is determined whether to update the address book DB 105 (step S1106). Specifically, for example, a selection screen shown in FIG. 5-4 is displayed on the display 208, and a user's selection input from the operation panel 210 is accepted.

  Here, when updating the address book DB 105 (step S1106: Yes), the address book DB 105 is updated with the mail address detected in step S1102 as a new mail address (step S1107), and a series of processing according to this flowchart ends. To do. On the other hand, when the address book DB 105 is not updated (step S1106: No), the series of processes is terminated.

  Thus, whenever a new mail address is transmitted, the contents of the address book DB 105 can be automatically updated. For this reason, the troublesome work of the user concerning the update work of the address book DB 105 can be reduced, and the convenience can be improved.

(Status notification display procedure)
Next, a procedure of status notification display processing executed in the mobile phone terminal 101 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a procedure of status notification display processing executed in the mobile phone terminal 101 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 12, the mobile phone terminal 101 first determines whether or not a display instruction for status notification has been received (step S1201). Specifically, for example, an instruction input from the user regarding the situation notification may be received, or a display instruction for the situation notification may be automatically input at regular intervals.

  Here, when the status notification display instruction is received and is received (step S1201: Yes), the column indicating the status of e-mail contact in the contact status management DB 106 is “not reached” and the short message contact status. It is determined whether or not there is a record in which the column indicating “contacted (not responded)” exists (step S1202).

  When there is a record of “not reached” and “contacted (not replied)” (step S1202: Yes), the extraction unit 402 extracts the management ID of this record (step S1203). Then, the extraction unit 402 extracts the address information corresponding to the management ID from the address book DB 105, displays a status notification indicating that the contact is insufficient (step S1204), and a series of processes according to this flowchart. Exit.

  Specifically, for example, the status notification illustrated in FIG. 5-5 is displayed as the status notification indicating that the communication is insufficient. On the other hand, in step S1202, if there is no record of “not reached” and “contacted (reply not yet)” (step S1202: No), the series of processing is terminated.

  Thereby, it is possible to notify the other party that does not respond to the short message. For this reason, although the information to be contacted is notified by the short message, it is possible to prevent omission of notification due to the other party forgetting to confirm the contents.

  Furthermore, since a partner who does not respond is a partner who does not know the current mail address, forgetting to listen to the mail address can be prevented by knowing the partner who does not respond.
