AX etc. " As a method of confirming the transmission status and the transmission result in an electronic mail system for transmitting and receiving ()), there is a “transmission status display method in an electronic mail system” described in JP-A-5-37553. This means that for each transmission data, "Waiting for transmission", "Sending", "Sending"
Or, in real time, the change of the transmission status of "not delivered"
A list is displayed on a display device by text expression.

[0003] On the other hand, some commercially available portable information terminal devices with a built-in PHS have a function of presenting the transmission status of a facsimile or the like and the transmission result by an icon. This is an icon indicating that the transmission status of the entire apparatus is in a state where there is no FAX or the like to be transmitted or a state where all transmissions have been completed (hereinafter, referred to as a “transmission completion icon”).
An icon (hereinafter referred to as a “transmission incomplete icon”) indicating that there is a fax or the like for which transmission has not yet been completed (one of “transmission waiting”, “transmitting”, and “not delivered”). ) Are sequentially notified to the operator by two icons. Further, by touching the transmission incomplete icon with a pen, it is possible to confirm the content of each FAX or the like to be transmitted and its transmission status.

[0004]

However, in the case of a conventional list display by text display, it is difficult to confirm at a glance whether or not there is transmission data which has been "unsuccessful" in the entire system. In addition, FA who became "not delivered"
Since the content itself such as X is not displayed, it is necessary to confirm the content separately in order to determine whether or not to retransmit.

[0005] On the other hand, in the case of display by icons, a plurality of fax machines in the state of "waiting for transmission", "transmitting", or "not delivered" as a whole, or a combination of these fax machines. And the like are displayed using the same icon, so it is not possible to know whether or not there is a facsimile or the like for which "non-delivery" has been confirmed just by looking at this icon. In addition, in order to check the contents of individual faxes and the like and the transmission status thereof, it is necessary to touch the transmission incomplete icon with a pen each time, which is troublesome. In addition, individual fax
In the case of "rejection" in transmission of such information, the cause is not known, and it takes time to take appropriate measures.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and even in a portable communication device in which the number of characters that can be displayed is limited as compared with a display device such as a CRT, the transmission status of a facsimile or the like is complicated. It is a first object of the present invention to provide a transmission status presentation device that can easily present to an operator without performing an operation.

[0007] It is a second object of the present invention to provide a transmission status presentation device capable of presenting the cause of a message having a transmission status of "unreachable" to an operator. It is a third object of the present invention to provide a transmission status presentation device that allows the individual transmission status to be checked at a glance in broadcast communication.

Hereinafter, the operation of the transmission status presentation device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of the transmission control process performed by the transmission control unit 220.

For convenience, in the present apparatus 200,
A transmission status flag FS and a transmission retry counter NR are defined for each transmission data (NM in total), and the transmission status flag FS includes "no transmission data (FS = 0)" and "transmission waiting (FS = 1). , "Transmitting (FS = 2)", "transmission completed (FS = 3)", and "non-delivery (FS = 4)".

First, in processes other than the present process, when the operator presses a "send" command from the input unit 270, the specified transmission data is stored in the transmission data storage unit 210, and the content of the transmission status flag FS is changed to " Waiting for transmission (FS =
1) "is set. Thereafter, this processing is started, and the transmission control unit 220 initializes the transmission data number nM
(= 1), transmission waiting counter nW (= 0), non-delivery counter nF (= 0), and transmission retry counters NR (1) to N
R (NM) (= 0) is set (step S601).

Next, the transmission control unit 220 sets the content of the transmission status flag FS of the nM-th transmission data to "transmission waiting (FS
= 1) ”(step S602), and if it is not“ waiting for transmission ”, the process is continued for the next transmission data (step S613). On the other hand, if the content of the transmission status flag is "transmission waiting", the value of the transmission waiting counter nW is incremented by 1 (step S603), and the transmission status flag FS
Is changed to "transmitting (= 2)" (step S60).
4), perform data transmission processing (step S60)
5). In this data transmission process, transmission is performed to the transmission destination specified in the nM-th transmission data. At this time, if the transmission has not been completed, it is determined that “transmission failed”.

The data transmission process (step S60)
When it is determined that “transmission failed” in 5) (step S60)
6), the non-delivery determining unit 221 includes a transmission retry counter NR
Is incremented by 1 (step S609), and when the value of the transmission retry counter NR reaches a specified value ("5" in this embodiment) (step S610), the transmission status flag FS
Is set to "not reached (FS = 4)" (step S6).
11), increment the non-delivery counter by 1 (step S61)
2).

When the above processing is completed for the last transmission data, the above processing is repeated from the first transmission data, and when an "end" command is input by the operator, this processing is ended (step S1). S613 to step S
616).

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the data transmission process (step S605) in FIG. First, the transmission control unit 220 specifies a transmission destination based on the FAX number specified by the operator (step S701), and the transmission unit 23
Pass the fax number to 0.

Next, transmitting section 230 makes a call based on the FAX number (step S702). This allows
The transmitting unit 230 exchanges information with the exchange, and determines the case where "there is no corresponding FAX number", "the other party's power is off", "the other party is talking", and "the other party does not go off-hook". It specifies and sets each error code (step S703 to step S710).

Further, even if the other party goes off-hook, the transmitting section 230 determines that transmission has failed if it is not possible to confirm that both terminals are non-voice terminals or if the other party has interrupted reception. Then, a corresponding error code is set (steps S711 to S716). If none of the above applies, the transmitting unit 230 determines that the transmission has been completed (step S717), and ends this processing.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of a display control process performed by the display control unit 250 for displaying the overall transmission status in the apparatus 200. The transmission waiting counter nW and the non-delivery counter nF set in the transmission control processing shown in FIG. 6 are shared variables used in the display control processing.

First, the display control unit 250 determines one of the icons in FIGS. 4A to 4D according to the values of the transmission waiting counter nW and the non-delivery counter nF (steps S801 and S802). Then, the icon is displayed on the display unit 260 (steps S804 to S807).

Next, if the icon below the posting post icon 303 is the "text" icon shown in FIG.
And nF undelivered mails. Is displayed on the display 260 (step S809).

On the other hand, when the icon below the posting post icon 303 is the "voice" icon shown in FIG.
The transmission control unit 250 passes the text data of “There are nW mails waiting to be sent and nF unreachable mails” to the voice processing unit 280 and presents it to the operator via the speaker 281 (step S810). . Finally, when the display of the entire transmission status is not continued, the present process ends (step S811).

As described above, by using a plurality of different icons, the operator can easily confirm the presence or absence of transmission data for which the "non-delivery" has been determined as the transmission status of the entire apparatus. . Further, it is also possible to confirm the transmission status by displaying images or texts other than those described above or by voices other than the above.

Further, in the present apparatus 200, there are four types of posting post icons. However, other transmission statuses can be displayed by other icons. Furthermore, in the present apparatus 200, an input form using a pressure-sensitive tablet and a pen is used, but it goes without saying that data and the like can be input using a pointing device, a keyboard, or the like other than this. It should be noted that regarding the above error code, the communication procedure (FAX communication, communication device 100
The codes that can be used differ depending on the unique communication between each other, personal computer communication, etc., and the wireless base station and exchange (PHS, digital mobile phone, analog line, etc.) that pass through. Here, an example is shown.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram of a transmission status presentation device 900 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The apparatus 900 displays on the screen in a form in which the contents of the individual transmission data and the transmission status or transmission result can be understood for the individual transmission data determined to be transmitted according to the instruction of the operator. It is characterized by making it. Further, the present apparatus 900 is characterized in that the transmission data for which "non-delivery" is determined is displayed on the screen together with the reason.

The transmission apparatus 900 includes a transmission data storage section 210, a transmission section 230, a display section 260, an input section 270, and an audio processing section 2 included in the transmission status presentation apparatus 200 of the first embodiment.

The cause of the non-delivery is specified based on the cause of the transmission failure when is determined. The reduced display data 921 is data newly generated by the display processing unit 931 to be described later, based on the image data and text data of the original screen, to perform display in a smaller display area according to a prescribed procedure.

Hereinafter, an example of generating the reduced display data 921 stored in the display data storage unit 920 will be described. In the case of a bitmap image data such as an illustration, if the reduced screen is reduced to 25% of the original screen (50% reduction in each of the vertical and horizontal directions), this image data is reduced to 1 bit. It is possible to generate reduced display data by thinning each time and reducing the data amount to 25%.

When text data is similarly reduced, a sentence composed of a 16-bit × 16-bit character font is changed to a sentence composed of an 8-bit × 8-bit character font and displayed in a reduced size. Data can be generated. Further, when it is necessary to increase the reduction ratio, for example, only text data corresponding to the number of characters that can be displayed from the beginning of the text data is used, and the text data thereafter is truncated.

The display processing unit 931 generates reduced display data and generates data for displaying the cause of non-delivery based on the error code specified in the data transmission process (step S605). FIG. 10 shows a display example of a non-delivery cause corresponding to an error code. FIG. 11 (a) and (b)
Is a display example in the present apparatus 900.

101 indicates that the transmission status of the entire apparatus 900 is “there is data waiting to be transmitted and there is unreachable data”. And 1105, one "sending" FAX 1107, and two "sending" FAXs 1103 and 1104, which correspond to the overall transmission status indicated by the posting post icon 1101. I understand.

FIG. 11B shows a state in which the transmission status of each transmission destination of the broadcast is displayed by "touching" the screen of the broadcast FAX 1102 in FIG. 11A (FIG. 11B). FAX 1109-1113). In this figure, it is shown that there is one FAX 1109 that has been “not delivered” and four FAXs 11010 to 1113 that are “waiting for transmission”.
It can be seen that this corresponds to the overall transmission status indicated by the posting post icon 1108.

The transmission status of each FAX shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B changes in real time.
Hereinafter, the operation of the transmission status presentation device 900 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of a transmission control process performed by transmission control section 910 in apparatus 900. This processing is performed by the display status presentation device 20.
0 is substantially the same as the transmission control process at 0, but the initial setting of the non-delivery codes FF (1) to FF (NM) (step S120)
1) and a process of setting a non-delivery code by the non-delivery cause identification unit 911 (step S1202).

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of a display control process performed by the display control unit 930 to display an individual transmission status in the apparatus 900. First, the display control unit 930 specifies the first transmission data to be displayed (step S1301). Next, the display control unit 930 sets the transmission status flag FS of the specified transmission data.
Is determined to be “1 (waiting for transmission)” (step S
1302) If not “1”, the processing is continued for the next transmission data (step S1314). further,
If the value of the transmission status flag FS of the specified transmission data is “3 (transmission completed)” and the content of the specified transmission data is still displayed, the display control unit 930 deletes the display. (Step S1303 to Step S1)
305).

Here, the display control section 930 identifies whether the transmission data is broadcast communication or normal communication (step S130).
6) Display is performed according to each specification using the reduced display data generated by the display processing unit 931 (step S1307 or step S1308). When the display is performed according to the broadcast specification, the display control unit 930 executes a broadcast status display process for displaying the transmission status of each transmission data in response to a “touch” input from the operator ( Step S1310).

Further, based on the display data generated by the display processing unit 931, the display control unit 930 displays the reverse display when the value of the transmission status flag FS of the transmission data is “2 (transmitting)”, and “4”. (Transmission failed) "
Is added, and the cause of the non-delivery is displayed based on the non-delivery code of the transmission data (step S1312 or step S1313). Finally, when the individual transmission status display is not continued, the present processing is ended (step S1314).
-Step S1317).

FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of the broadcast display processing (step S1310) in FIG. For convenience, in the case of broadcast communication in the present apparatus 900,
A transmission status flag FS and a transmission retry count NR are defined for each transmission destination (NB in total).
Are "undetermined destination (FS = 0)", "waiting for transmission (FS =
1), "Sending (FS = 2)", "Sending completed (FS =
3) "and" non-delivery (FS = 4) ".

First, the display control unit 930 specifies the first transmission destination in the broadcast communication (step S140).
1). Next, when the value of the transmission status flag of the first transmission destination is “0 (transmission destination undecided)” (step S1402), the display control unit 930 continues the processing for the transmission status flag of the next transmission destination (step S1402). Step S1410).

When the value of the transmission status flag is “3 (transmission completed)”
In the case of (step S1403), and when the content of the transmission data is still displayed, the display is deleted (step S1405). On the other hand, when the value of the transmission status flag is other than “3 (transmission completed)”, the content of the transmission data is reduced and displayed (step S1406).

Further, if the value of the transmission status flag FS is "2
(Transmitting) ”or“ 4 (non-delivery) ”, reverse display or“ x ”is added, and the cause of the non-delivery is displayed based on the non-delivery code (step S1408 or step S1408). S1409). Finally, when the individual transmission status display is not continued, the present process is terminated (step 141).
0 to step 1413).

As described above, according to the transmission status presenting apparatus 900 according to the present invention, even when there are a large number of transmission destinations such as in the case of broadcast communication, “transmission waiting” is performed for each transmission data. Judgment of the transmission status of "" or "transmitting" and the transmission result of "transmission completed" or "not delivered", and the contents of individual transmission data and their transmission status etc. are displayed on the screen in real time, so the operation The user can see at a glance what transmission data is sent to whom and what transmission status is now.

Further, even if "non-delivery" is determined in the transmission data, the reason is displayed on the screen together with the reason, so that the operator can quickly respond to this. . Also, in the present apparatus 900, the transmission status of each transmission data is set to “waiting for transmission” or “transmitting”,
Although the transmission result is “transmission completed” or “not delivered”, other transmission statuses and the like can be added and defined.

Further, in the present apparatus 900, the reduced display data 921 is stored in the display data storage unit 920, but it may be calculated and generated each time it is displayed on the display unit 260. In addition, as a method of distinguishing the transmission status of each transmission data and the like, reverse display and addition display of “x” are performed, but the above-described distinction can be made by other display methods.

Finally, it goes without saying that the part related to the control processing in the transmission status presenting apparatus according to the present invention can be realized as a program executed on a general-purpose computer system. Therefore, the transmission status presentation program according to the present invention can be stored in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM and distributed.

[0057]

As is apparent from the above description, the transmission status presentation device according to the present invention is used in a portable communication device, and is a transmission status presentation device for presenting the transmission status of a message to be transmitted. A storage unit that stores one or more communication messages, a transmission unit that executes transmission of all communication messages stored in the storage unit to a communication partner designated corresponding to each communication message, Non-delivery determination for determining whether or not at least one of all messages has been attempted to be transmitted by the transmission means but has not been completely reached the communication partner in a “non-reachable” state. Means, and a non-delivery presenting means for presenting the state by an image or sound corresponding to the state when the state is determined to be in a "non-reachable" state by the non-delivery determining means.

Thus, it is determined whether or not there is at least one message in the “unreachable” state in which it is determined that the message to be transmitted has not completely reached the communication partner. Since the message is presented by an image or a sound, the operator can easily recognize that there is a message in a “non-reachable” state without performing any operation, and a prompt response to this is possible.

Here, the non-delivery presenting means presents the “non-delivery” state by using one icon in which an image showing the state of the message in the “non-delivery” state is added to the image showing the posting post. can do. As a result, the status of the message in the “delivered” state is displayed by a simple icon, so that the operator can recognize at a glance the presence of the message in the “delivered” state.

Further, the non-delivery presenting means determines, in the storage means, whether or not a message sent in the process of trying to transmit without reaching the “non-delivery” state is stored in the form of the posting post. By making a difference, the "non-delivery"
Status can be presented. This allows the operator to see the above change at a glance because the message in the process of attempting to transmit that has not reached the “non-reachable” state is presented in a different image when the “non-reachable” state is reached. It can be instantly recognized.

Here, the transmitting means repeats the transmission until the message reaches the communication partner until all of the messages stored in the storage means exceed a certain number of trials. The attainment determination means may determine that the state is in the “non-reachable” state when the number of times repeatedly transmitted by the transmission means for at least one of the messages has reached the predetermined number of trials. it can. As a result, until the number of trials exceeds a certain number, the transmission is repeated until the communication partner is completely reached, and then "not delivered"
Since the state is determined, the operator can be released from watching the transmission during the retransmission retry of the message.

Here, the transmission status presentation device further comprises:
A message display means for displaying the content of one or more messages stored in the storage means on a screen; and a message "not delivered" among the messages displayed by the message display means. A message identification means for identifying the message determined to be in the state, and a corresponding communication displayed on the screen with an image indicating that the message identified by the message identification means is in the "unreachable" state Non-delivery image display means for displaying at a position associated with a sentence. As a result, an image that clearly indicates that the message is in the “unreachable” state is displayed together with the content of the message determined to be in the “non-reachable” state. The sentence can be specified accurately.

Here, the transmission status determining means further comprises:
The message determined to be in the `` unreachable '' state by the unreachable determination unit includes a non-delivery cause identification unit that identifies the cause of the communication in the `` unreachable '' state, and the unreachable image display unit includes:
In addition to the image, a text indicating the cause may be displayed at a position related to the message. This allows
Since the cause of the communication in the “not-reached” state is also displayed on the screen, the operator can quickly perform appropriate processing.

Here, the storage means stores a broadcast message which is a group of messages having the same contents addressed to a plurality of communication partners, and the message display means stores the broadcast message corresponding to the broadcast message. A parent screen display unit that displays a parent screen expressing an overlap of a plurality of messages as an image to be performed, a touch reception unit that receives that an operator has touched a part of the parent screen, and a case where the touch is received. A small-screen display unit that displays a small screen displaying a list of reduced contents of the individual messages and the contents of the communication partner that constitute the broadcast message, and the non-delivery image display unit includes: For the message displayed on the child screen, it is possible to display an image that clearly indicates that the message is in the “unreachable” state and a text indicating the cause.

In this way, even in the case of a broadcast communication having a large number of communication partners, the communication status of each communication partner is displayed in a list, so that the operator can easily check the transmission status of the message for each destination. It becomes possible to grasp.
