背景技术Background technique

经由互联网传递的、称作电子邮件的系统被广泛用作使用个人计算(PC)或者移动电话或者类似装置的邮件。在电子邮件中，从发送终端发送的邮件被临时存储在邮件服务器中，接收终端访问该邮件服务器并查询新到达的邮件是否以他自己的地址出现，如果出现新邮件，接收终端请求该邮件转发到接收终端。所以，不管新到达的邮件是否出现，接收终端都需要处理一定的通信量，以便查询邮件服务器，从而造成效率差的问题。A system called e-mail delivered via the Internet is widely used as mail using a personal computer (PC) or a mobile phone or the like. In e-mail, the mail sent from the sending terminal is temporarily stored in the mail server, and the receiving terminal accesses the mail server and inquires whether a newly arrived mail appears in his own address, and if a new mail appears, the receiving terminal requests that the mail be forwarded to the receiving terminal. Therefore, no matter whether the newly arrived mail appears or not, the receiving terminal needs to process a certain amount of traffic in order to query the mail server, thus causing a problem of poor efficiency.

相反，在移动电话中，经由控制信道发送的PUSH型消息(以下称之为“PUSH消息”或者简称“消息”)被用作新到达邮件的通知。业务名称的不同依赖于公司；然而，该系统通常称作SMS。SMS是发射和接收短消息的系统，诸如邮件之类的消息经由称之为寻呼信道的控制信道，从SMS服务器发送到诸如移动电话之类的终端。例如，在用于移动电话的CDMA系统的情况下，在用于移动站控制的寻呼信道上使用数据脉冲串消息发送SMS。SMS被用作新到达电子邮件的通知。在此情况下，如果接收终端位于通信业务范围之内，并且处于能够接收的状态下(即，业务可以操作的状态)，则当电子邮件经由电子邮件服务器到达SMS服务器时，立即将该接收的通知作为PUSH消息转发到接收终端，而该接收终端能够接收该通知并自动获得新到达的电子邮件。因此，用户不需要从一个终端周期地进行访问，以确认电子邮件是否已经到达，并且不需要像电子邮件情况那样，进行不需要的通信以执行查询。然而，由于控制信道具有小传输容量，因此消息被限制到近似100字节的短消息。In contrast, in a mobile phone, a PUSH type message (hereinafter referred to as "PUSH message" or simply "message") sent via a control channel is used as a notification of newly arrived mail. The business name varies depending on the company; however, the system is usually called SMS. SMS is a system for transmitting and receiving short messages, such as mail, from an SMS server to a terminal, such as a mobile phone, via a control channel called a paging channel. For example, in the case of a CDMA system for mobile phones, SMS is sent using data burst messages on the paging channel for mobile station control. SMS is used as notification of new arrival emails. In this case, if the receiving terminal is within the scope of the communication service and is in a state capable of receiving (that is, a state in which the service can be operated), when the email arrives at the SMS server via the email server, the received The notification is forwarded to the receiving terminal as a PUSH message, and the receiving terminal can receive the notification and automatically obtain the newly arrived e-mail. Therefore, the user does not need to periodically access from a terminal to confirm whether e-mail has arrived, and does not need to perform unnecessary communication to perform an inquiry as in the case of e-mail. However, since the control channel has a small transmission capacity, the messages are limited to short messages of approximately 100 bytes.

请注意，日本待审专利申请公开No.2002-320025中公开了SMS。Note that SMS is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-320025.

在日本，SMS通常用来提供新到达电子邮件的通知，然而，它还用于诸如下面描述的应用自动启动系统。这种应用自动启动系统的例子包括这样的系统：为了操作诸如移动电话之类的移动通信终端所拥有的照相机或者游戏机或类似装置的功能，指定特殊应用，以便使用这些SMS消息自动启动来自诸如移动电话或者PC之类的另一个终端的该应用。In Japan, SMS is commonly used to provide notification of newly arrived e-mails, however, it is also used in application auto-start systems such as those described below. Examples of such application automatic launch systems include systems in which special applications are designated to be automatically launched using these SMS messages from such as This application of another terminal such as a mobile phone or a PC.

然而，在利用服务器向诸如移动电话之类的移动通信终端发送数据的系统中，涉及传递到移动电话的数据的消息是从服务器发送的。响应该消息，移动电话启动对应于该消息的应用程序。作为向传递数据的服务器进行请求的已启动应用的结果，移动电话所拥有的数据被更新，并且移动电话可以在适当时机接收最新数据。However, in a system that utilizes a server to transmit data to a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone, a message related to data delivered to the mobile phone is transmitted from the server. In response to the message, the mobile phone launches an application corresponding to the message. As a result of the launched application making a request to the server delivering the data, the data held by the mobile phone is updated, and the mobile phone can receive the latest data at an appropriate time.

这种类型的应用自动启动系统的一个例子包括利用PUSH消息向移动通信终端提供各种信息(即，内容)的信息提供服务器系统，这些信息例如包括瞬间变化的信息，如股票价格信息、新闻和气象预报信息。An example of this type of application automatic start system includes an information providing server system that utilizes PUSH messages to provide various information (i.e., content) to mobile communication terminals, such information including instantaneously changing information such as stock price information, news and Weather forecast information.

即，用户的移动通信终端(以下称之为“用户终端”)存储若干应用程序，以便接收上述的各种信息。当服务器为用户获取诸如股票价格信息的新信息时，为了对显示该股票价格信息已经被更新的消息周期地进行PUSH传递，服务器建立一个PUSH消息，该消息指令从接收该股票价格信息的用户终端所保持的应用程序中启动一个应用程序，并使用SMS把该PUSH消息发送给用户终端。当用户终端接收PUSH消息时，它自动地启动由所接收的消息指令的一个应用程序，比如环球网(WWW)浏览器或者新闻播音员，并向服务器请求股票价格信息或者类似信息。服务器随后向用户终端发送包含股票价格信息或类似信息的数据。作为用户终端以此方式获得已更新信息的结果，用户能够在该信息更新时，观看股票价格、新闻、天气预报等。That is, a user's mobile communication terminal (hereinafter referred to as "user terminal") stores several application programs in order to receive the above-mentioned various information. When the server obtains new information such as stock price information for the user, in order to periodically carry out PUSH delivery to the message showing that the stock price information has been updated, the server sets up a PUSH message, and the message instruction is sent from the user terminal receiving the stock price information Start an application program among the application programs held, and use SMS to send the PUSH message to the user terminal. When a user terminal receives a PUSH message, it automatically starts an application program instructed by the received message, such as a World Wide Web (WWW) browser or a newscaster, and requests stock price information or the like from a server. The server then sends data containing stock price information or the like to the user terminal. As a result of the user terminal obtaining updated information in this way, the user can view stock prices, news, weather forecasts, etc. as the information is updated.

根据基于此类应用程序启动的信息提供系统，用户能够自动地从服务器接收预期信息并显示该信息，而不必执行任何类型的操作。According to an information providing system activated based on such an application, a user can automatically receive desired information from a server and display the information without having to perform any kind of operation.

此外，地图信息提供系统也已经被建议为一种应用自动启动系统。该地图信息提供系统能够使移动电话接收PUSH型SMS并下载地图。In addition, a map information providing system has also been suggested as an application automatic launching system. The map information providing system enables mobile phones to receive PUSH type SMS and download maps.

还存在诸如图37和图38所示的传统PUSH数据传递系统。There are also conventional PUSH data delivery systems such as those shown in FIGS. 37 and 38 .

图37是这种PUSH数据传递系统的系统结构图，展示了它在犯罪预防系统中使用的一个实例。Fig. 37 is a system configuration diagram of this PUSH data delivery system, showing an example of its use in a crime prevention system.

在图37中，当呼叫服务器1021确认被传递的数据更新时，该服务器向移动通信终端1022发送一个消息，该消息包含显示该类型数据被传递的信息。移动通信终端1022具有：响应单元，响应来自呼叫服务器1021的呼叫，切换到数据能够被发送或者被接收的状态；检测数据类型的数据类型检测单元；以及应用启动单元，启动对应于数据类型的应用。图38是移动通信终端1022的结构的概念图。In FIG. 37, when thecall server 1021 confirms that the transferred data is updated, the server sends a message to themobile communication terminal 1022, which contains information showing that the type of data is transferred. Themobile communication terminal 1022 has: a response unit, which switches to a state where data can be sent or received in response to a call from thecall server 1021; a data type detection unit for detecting the data type; and an application starting unit, which starts an application corresponding to the data type . FIG. 38 is a conceptual diagram of the structure ofmobile communication terminal 1022. As shown in FIG.

当照相机装置1023检测到异常时，通知呼叫服务器1021一个异常已经发生，并且还在发生异常的同时提供图象信息。呼叫服务器1021经由互联网1024将该图像信息加载到WEB服务器1025，同时向通信终端1022发送一个通知它图象信息已经被加载的消息。移动通信终端1022分析接收的消息，启动有关应用，访问WEB服务器1025，并下载被加载到WEB服务器1025的异常发生时的图像信息。When thecamera device 1023 detects an abnormality, it notifies thecall server 1021 that an abnormality has occurred, and also provides image information while the abnormality has occurred. Thecall server 1021 loads this image information to theWEB server 1025 via the Internet 1024, and sends a message to thecommunication terminal 1022 to inform it that the image information has been loaded. Themobile communication terminal 1022 analyzes the received message, activates the relevant application, accesses theWEB server 1025, and downloads the image information loaded on theWEB server 1025 at the time of abnormal occurrence.

这样，移动通信终端1022的用户能够确认异常已经发生时的情况，而不需要使用移动通信终端的显示器持续监视专用终端。In this way, the user of themobile communication terminal 1022 can confirm the situation when an abnormality has occurred without continuously monitoring the dedicated terminal using the display of the mobile communication terminal.

使用PUSH数据传递系统的业务包括电子邮件的自动接收以及诸如库存管理数据库之类的数据库的自动更新。在上述系统的情况下，通过为移动通信终端提供数据类型检测单元以及应用启动单元，能够同时接收多个数据传递业务。Businesses that use the PUSH data delivery system include automatic receipt of emails and automatic updates of databases such as inventory management databases. In the case of the above system, by providing the mobile communication terminal with a data type detecting unit and an application starting unit, multiple data delivery services can be received simultaneously.

按常规，移动电话已经被发展成并入游戏功能和邮件建立功能。使用这些类型的移动电话，甚至在用户正在操作移动电话时，用户也能够连续执行操作一个扩展的时段，以便玩游戏或者建立邮件文本。所以，如果在用户正在操作移动电话时一个输入信号到达，那么该操作的图象显示执行到突然中断时间时，并且使屏幕显示改变到提供输入呼叫的通知的屏幕显示。输入信号包括涉及短消息和电子邮件的接收的输入信号以及电话呼叫，并且同样切换屏幕显示。Conventionally, mobile phones have been developed to incorporate gaming functions and mail creation functions. With these types of mobile phones, even while the user is operating the mobile phone, the user can continuously perform operations for an extended period of time in order to play a game or create a mail text. Therefore, if an incoming signal arrives while the user is operating the mobile phone, the image display of the operation is performed up to the time of sudden interruption, and the screen display is changed to a screen display providing notification of an incoming call. The input signals include those related to the reception of short messages and e-mails, and telephone calls, and also switch screen displays.

特别是，当上述SMS是关于短消息中存储的标识信息的指定移动电话所保存的应用的业务，然后自动启动该应用时，在某些情况下，屏幕上所显示的不是输入信号的通知，而是关于由输入信号启动的一个应用的通知。例如，屏幕上所显示的可以是应用已经被建立的通知、应用已经结束的通知、在应用执行期间出现错误的通知或者一个应用需要从用户输入的通知。In particular, when the above-mentioned SMS is about the service of an application stored in a mobile phone specifying the identification information stored in the short message, and then automatically starts the application, in some cases, what is displayed on the screen is not a notification of an input signal, Instead, it is a notification about an app started by an input signal. For example, what is displayed on the screen may be a notification that an application has been created, that an application has ended, that an error occurred during application execution, or that an application requires input from a user.

为了避免当游戏或者邮件文本消息的建立被(无意产生的)输入信号的到达而中断时带来的烦恼，某些传统的移动电话(例如，见日本待审专利申请公开JP2002-223271)已经装备了停止输入信号达到的等候操作的模式，以便在游戏期间不产生输入信号的到达。图39显示了该移动电话操作流程的概况。In order to avoid the annoyance caused when the establishment of a game or email text message is interrupted by the arrival of an (inadvertently generated) input signal, some conventional mobile phones (see, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication JP2002-223271) have been equipped with A mode of waiting for the arrival of the input signal is stopped so that the arrival of the input signal does not occur during the game. Fig. 39 shows an outline of the mobile phone operation flow.

在图39中，在等候时，用户指令音乐播放(处理步骤S1101)，然后开始播放音乐。然后，当收到输入呼叫时(处理步骤S1102)，在确定处理步骤S1103中确定是否已经设置标志F。该标志F显示移动电话是否处于等候操作停止模式。如果标志F已经被设置(即，如果F＝1)，则通过处理步骤S1104禁止输入信号达到的通知操作。然后，在处理步骤S1105中，等候播放音乐的结束。当音乐结束时，在处理步骤S1106中，通过播放输入信号已经达到的事实进行通知，并结束程序。In FIG. 39, while waiting, the user instructs music playback (processing step S1101), and then music playback starts. Then, when an incoming call is received (processing step S1102), it is determined in determination processing step S1103 whether the flag F has been set. This flag F shows whether the mobile phone is in the waiting operation stop mode. If the flag F has been set (ie, if F=1), the notification operation of the arrival of the input signal is prohibited by processing step S1104. Then, in processing step S1105, the end of playing music is waited for. When the music ends, in processing step S1106, it is notified by the fact that the playback input signal has arrived, and the procedure is ended.

在确定处理步骤S1103中，如果标志F被复位(即，如果F＝0)，则执行处理步骤S1107。在处理步骤S1107中，以与输入信号的正常达到的相同方式，在屏幕上显示一个通知，或者通过播放显示输入信号到达的音调进行通知，或者通过驱动振动器进行通知。因此，如果用户执行摘机操作，则在处理步骤S1108执行对话处理，并在处理步骤S1109等候挂机操作。当检测到挂机操作时，在处理步骤S1110中，使移动电话恢复到能够播放音乐的状态，然后结束程序。In determination processing step S1103, if the flag F is reset (ie, if F=0), processing step S1107 is performed. In processing step S1107, in the same manner as the normal arrival of the input signal, a notification is displayed on the screen, or notified by playing a tone showing the arrival of the input signal, or by driving a vibrator. Therefore, if the user performs an off-hook operation, dialogue processing is performed at processing step S1108, and an on-hook operation is awaited at processing step S1109. When an on-hook operation is detected, in processing step S1110, the mobile phone is restored to a state where music can be played, and then the procedure ends.

此外，按常规，如果在游戏运行时检测到输入信号的达到，则推荐不给予输入信号达到的通知的方法，以及将游戏数据存储到存储器中、给予输入信号达到的通知然后重新开始游戏的方法。Also, conventionally, if the arrival of an input signal is detected while the game is running, a method of not giving notification of the arrival of the input signal is recommended, and a method of storing game data in memory, giving a notification of the arrival of the input signal, and restarting the game .

按常规，对诸如建立电子邮件文本的应用具有日语输入功能的移动电话已经被广泛使用。移动电话装备了0至9的数字按键以及两个#和*键。然而，使用这些按键难于输入日语，因此需要大量的操作键。虽然输入日语自然是困难的，但是输入英文字符串也是困难的，因为有不少类型的字符。为此，在用于包括英语的每种世界语言的移动电话中需要，响应按键操作显示待输入的字符串的多个候选者，以及通过执行设置操作从这些候选者中选择待输入的字符串的功能。当输入日语时，存在大量的同音异义词。因此，在个人计算机中，通常使用显示待输入的字符串的多个候选者，然后通过执行设置操作从这些候选者中设置待输入的字符串的功能。当然，在移动电话的日语输入功能中也需要该能力。Conventionally, mobile phones having a Japanese input function for applications such as creating e-mail texts have been widely used. The mobile phone is equipped with a number key from 0 to 9 and two # and * keys. However, it is difficult to input Japanese using these keys, thus requiring a large number of operation keys. Although it is naturally difficult to input Japanese, it is also difficult to input English character strings because there are many types of characters. For this reason, in a mobile phone for every world language including English, it is necessary to display a plurality of candidates for a character string to be input in response to a key operation, and to select a character string to be input from among the candidates by performing a setting operation function. When entering Japanese, there are a large number of homophones. Therefore, in a personal computer, a function of displaying a plurality of candidates of a character string to be input and then setting a character string to be input from among the candidates by performing a setting operation is generally used. Of course, this capability is also required in the Japanese input function of the mobile phone.

以下是具有这种类型的日语输入功能的移动电话的一个例子(参见日本待审专利申请首次公开JP06-152711)。The following is an example of a mobile phone having this type of Japanese input function (see Japanese Unexamined Patent Application First Publication JP06-152711).

下面将使用具有日语输入功能的传统移动电话的例子进行说明。The following will be described using an example of a conventional mobile phone having a Japanese input function.

这种类型的装置设置有按图40所示的方式安排的按键。用于“AIUEO”的5个片假名字母符号(即，正方形日语字母)被分配给数字1的按键901。同样，用于“KA KI KU KE KO”的片假名字母符号被分配给数字2的按键；用于“SA SI SU SE SO”的片假名字母符号被分配给数字3的按键；用于“TA TI TU TE TO”的片假名字母符号被分配给数字4的按键；用于“NA NI NU NE NO”的片假名字母符号被分配给数字5的按键；用于“HAHI HU HE HO”的片假名字母符号被分配给数字6的按键；用于“MA MIMU ME MO”的片假名字母符号被分配给数字7的按键；用于“YA YU YO”的片假名字母符号被分配给数字8的按键；用于“RA RI RU RE RO”的片假名字母符号被分配给数字9的按键；用于“WA WO N”的片假名字母符号被分配给数字0的按键。除此之外，还设置了转换按键902和设置按键903。This type of device is provided with keys arranged in the manner shown in FIG. 40 . Five katakana alphabet symbols (ie, square Japanese letters) for "AIUEO" are assigned to the key 901 ofnumber 1 . Similarly, the katakana alphabet used for "KA KI KU KE KO" is assigned to the button ofnumber 2; the katakana alphabet used for "SA SI SU SE SO" is assigned to the button ofnumber 3; The katakana alphabet for "TI TU TE TO" is assigned to thenumber 4 key; the katakana alphabet for "NA NI NU NE NO" is assigned to thenumber 5 key; the tablet for "HAHI HU HE HO" Kana alphabets are assigned to thenumber 6 key; Katakana alphabets for "MA MIMU ME MO" are assigned to thenumber 7 key; Katakana alphabets for "YA YU YO" are assigned to thenumber 8 Keys; the katakana alphabet for "RA RI RU RE RO" is assigned to thenumber 9 button; the katakana alphabet for "WA WO N" is assigned to thenumber 0 button. In addition, aconversion button 902 and asetting button 903 are also provided.

例如，为了输入日语汉字(即，日语书面文中使用的中文字符)字符“Tokyo”，指定用于“TOUKIYOU”的片假名字母符号。“TO”的片假名符号对应于数字4的按键。同样，“U”的片假名符号对应于数字1的按键901；“KI”的片假名符号对应于数字2的按键；“YO”的片假名符号对应于数字8的按键；“U”的片假名符号对应于数字1的按键901。因此，如果，输入“41281”并按压转换键902，则以片假名字母符号显示“Tokyo”。如果按压设置键903，则设置用日语汉字字符书写的字“Tokyo”。For example, to input the kanji (ie, Chinese characters used in Japanese written text) character "Tokyo", the katakana alphabetic symbols for "TOUKIYOU" are specified. The katakana symbol of "TO" corresponds to the key ofnumber 4. Similarly, the katakana symbol of "U" corresponds to thebutton 901 ofnumeral 1; the katakana symbol of "KI" corresponds to the button ofnumeral 2; the katakana symbol of "YO" corresponds to the button ofnumeral 8; The kana symbol corresponds to thenumber 1key 901 . Therefore, if "41281" is input and theconversion key 902 is pressed, "Tokyo" is displayed in katakana alphabetic characters. If theset key 903 is pressed, the word "Tokyo" written in Kanji characters is set.

在图41中，由状态910至918显示作为上述操作结果的屏幕上字符串显示的转换。In FIG. 41, the transition of the character string display on the screen as a result of the above operation is shown by states 910 to 918.

在图41中，当从状态910开始依序按压数字键之后，其中用日本汉字字符书写的字符串“明天”的输入已经被设置，就在屏幕上的字符串输入区域中立即显示数字(状态911至915)。如果随后按压转换键902，则这些数字被转换成片假名字母符号(状态916)。处理用于“TOUKIYOU”的片假名字母符号外，其它日本字对应于数字串“41281”。例如，用于“耐久力”的汉字符号对应于“TAIKYUU”的片假名字母符号；用于“第九”和“补假”的汉字符号对应于“DAIKIYUU”的片假名字母符号；用于“胎儿产前护理”的汉字符号对应于“TAIKIYOU”的片假名字母符号；用于“运气最差”和“DAIKYO”(公司名)的汉字符号对应于“DAIKYOU”的片假名字母符号；用于“罢工”和“大事业”的汉字符号对应于“TAIGIYOU”的片假名字母符号；用于“搜索”、“追踪”和“调查”的汉字符号对应于“TUIKIYUU”的片假名字母符号；用于“低级”、“常规假日”和“网球”的汉字符号对应于“TEIKIYUU”的片假名字母符号；用于“供应”和“帝国首都”的汉字符号对应于“TEIKIYOU”的片假名字母符号；用于“等级”、“TOKYU”(公司名)和“投球”的汉字符号对应于“TOUKIYUU”的片假名字母符号；用于“相同等级”的汉字符号对应于“DOUKIYUU”的片假名字母符号；用于“斗牛”的汉字符号对应于“TOUGIYUU”的片假名字母符号；用于“相同的省”、“Taosim”和“铜镜”的汉字符号对应于“DOUKIYOU”的片假名字母符号；用于“相同职业”的汉字符号对应于“DOUGIYOU”的片假名字母符号。需要注意的是，由于“DA”的片假名字母符号是“TA”的片假名+指示浊辅音的浊音符号的组合，因此输入“TA”的片假名，以替代“DA”的片假名。同样，由于“DO”的片假名字母符号是“TO”的片假名+指示浊辅音的浊音符号的组合，因此输入“TO”的片假名，以替代“DO”的片假名。通过重复按压转换键902，在屏幕上连续显示这些符号。最后，通过按压设置按键903，设置“东京”的汉字符号(状态918)。In Fig. 41, after starting from state 910 and pressing number keys in sequence, wherein the input of character string "tomorrow" written with Japanese kanji characters has been set, numbers are immediately displayed in the character string input area on the screen (state 911 to 915). If theconvert key 902 is subsequently pressed, the numbers are converted to katakana alphabetic characters (state 916). Except for the katakana alphabetic symbols used for "TOUKIYOU", other Japanese characters correspond to the numeral string "41281". For example, the kanji symbols used for "endurance" correspond to the katakana alphabet symbols of "TAIKYUU"; The Kanji symbols for "Fetal Prenatal Care" correspond to the Katakana alphabet symbols for "TAIKIYOU"; the Kanji symbols for "Worst Luck" and "DAIKYO" (company name) correspond to the Katakana alphabet symbols for "DAIKYOU"; The kanji symbols for "strike" and "big cause" correspond to the katakana alphabet symbols of "TAIGIYOU"; the kanji symbols for "search", "trace" and "investigation" correspond to the katakana alphabet symbols of "TUIKIYUU"; Kanji symbols for "Low Class", "Regular Holiday" and "Tennis" correspond to Katakana alphabetic symbols for "TEIKIYUU"; Kanji symbols for "Supply" and "Imperial Capital" correspond to Katakana alphabetic symbols for "TEIKIYOU" ; Kanji symbols for "rank", "TOKYU" (company name) and "pitching" correspond to katakana alphabetic symbols for "TOUKIYUU"; Kanji symbols for "same grade" correspond to katakana alphabetic characters for "DOUKIYUU" Symbols; Kanji symbols for "Bullfighting" correspond to Katakana alphabetic symbols for "TOUGIYUU"; Kanji symbols for "Same Province", "Taosim" and "Bronze Mirror" correspond to Katakana alphabetic symbols for "DOUKIYOU" ; Kanji notation for "same occupation" corresponds to katakana alphabet notation for "DOUGIYOU". It should be noted that since the katakana letter symbol of "DA" is a combination of the katakana of "TA" + the voicing symbol indicating a voiced consonant, the katakana of "TA" is input instead of the katakana of "DA". Also, since the katakana letter notation of "DO" is a combination of katakana of "TO" + a voiced consonant symbol indicating a voiced consonant, the katakana of "TO" is input instead of the katakana of "DO". By repeatedly pressing theswitch key 902, these symbols are continuously displayed on the screen. Finally, by pressing thesetting button 903, the Chinese character symbol of "Tokyo" is set (state 918).

在上述的应用自动启动系统中，存在以下问题。例如，当用户终端到达通信业务覆盖范围之外时，或者当关断电源时，即用户终端处于不能接收的状态时，即使服务器获得新信息并使用SMS消息指令用户终端提供应用，也不能启动该应用，因为用户终端不能接收SMS消息。此后，当用户终端再次移动回到通信业务范围时，或者当接通电源时，即当用户终端处于能够接收的状态时，接收SMS消息，启动该应用，并获得和显示该信息。在此情况下，存在服务器所获得的信息价值降低的可能性，或者在用户终端处于不能接收的状态的时间期间已经成为没有价值。例如，由于股票价格定时更新，因此即使用户终端再次变成能够接收，并接收SMS消息，以及启动应用，也只能获得最后更新之前的旧股票价格信息。In the above-mentioned automatic application startup system, there are the following problems. For example, when the user terminal arrives outside the coverage area of the communication service, or when the power supply is turned off, that is, when the user terminal is in a state of being unable to receive, even if the server obtains new information and uses an SMS message to instruct the user terminal to provide an application, the application cannot be started. application because the user terminal cannot receive SMS messages. Thereafter, when the user terminal moves back to the communication service range again, or when the power is turned on, that is, when the user terminal is in a state capable of receiving, the SMS message is received, the application is started, and the information is obtained and displayed. In this case, there is a possibility that the value of the information obtained by the server decreases, or becomes worthless during the time when the user terminal is in a state where reception cannot be performed. For example, since the stock price is regularly updated, even if the user terminal becomes capable of receiving SMS messages again, and starts the application, only the old stock price information before the last update can be obtained.

当用户终端根据SMS消息的延迟接收启动应用，并获得具有有效期限的信息时，存在以下问题。When a user terminal starts an application based on delayed reception of an SMS message, and obtains information with an expiration date, there are the following problems.

为了获取不再有效的信息，不必要地消耗了用户终端的资源。The resources of the user terminal are unnecessarily consumed in order to obtain information that is no longer valid.

为了获取不再有效的信息，不必要地消耗了网络的资源。The resources of the network are unnecessarily consumed in order to obtain information that is no longer valid.

为了获取不再有效的信息，不必要地消耗了服务器的资源。Server resources are unnecessarily consumed in order to obtain information that is no longer valid.

此外，在基于上述传统技术的应用自动启动系统中，存在以下问题。Furthermore, in the application automatic launch system based on the above-mentioned conventional technology, there are the following problems.

当收到一条消息并使用包含在该消息中的应用启动命令启动移动电话的应用时，如果该消息试图启动未安装在移动电话上的应用，则不能完成启动(启动失败)。然而，消息内容需要重发许多次，并依据该业务可以发送大量数据。所以，移动电话的负荷是巨大的，并且对用户造成极大的不便。When a message is received and an application of a mobile phone is started using an application start command included in the message, if the message tries to start an application not installed on the mobile phone, the start cannot be completed (start failure). However, the content of the message needs to be retransmitted many times, and a large amount of data can be sent depending on the service. Therefore, the load on the mobile phone is enormous and causes great inconvenience to the user.

当应用是附加有效期限的应用，如共享软件，并且该有效期限已经过期时，因此即使发送消息也不能启动应用。When the application is an application to which an expiration date is attached, such as shareware, and the expiration date has expired, the application cannot therefore be started even if a message is sent.

只要正在发送消息的用户或者业务供应商不停止该业务，试图启动未安装在移动电话上的应用的消息就一直发送。Messages attempting to start applications not installed on the mobile phone are sent as long as the user or service provider who is sending the message does not stop the service.

此外，为了停止未安装在移动电话上的应用的业务，用户需要执行麻烦的作业，比如跟踪WEB页，使用浏览器访问所提供业务的取消设置屏幕的WEB页，或者找到业务供应商的电话号码并和他们对话。In addition, in order to stop the service of the application not installed on the mobile phone, the user needs to perform troublesome work such as tracing the WEB page, using a browser to access the WEB page of the cancellation setting screen of the provided service, or finding the phone number of the service provider and talk to them.

此外，如果尝试下载一个未安装在移动电话上的应用，则必需追踪WEB页，使用浏览器访问展示业务供应商的下载屏幕的WEB页。In addition, if an attempt is made to download an application not installed on the mobile phone, it is necessary to trace the WEB page and use a browser to access the WEB page displaying the download screen of the service provider.

此外，如果有效期限已经过期的应用的连续使用是需要的，则必须追踪WEB页，使用浏览器访问展示业务供应商的下载屏幕的WEB页。In addition, if continuous use of the application whose expiration date has expired is required, it is necessary to trace the WEB page and use a browser to access the WEB page displaying the download screen of the service provider.

此外，在使用弹出窗口在屏幕上显示告警的移动电话的情况下，例如，当移动电话从业务范围之外返回到业务范围之内时，如果直到接收时间点的已经在服务器中累积的多个SMS消息以及对应于这些SMS消息的多个应用不能被启动，则由于移动电话的性质，出现以下问题：不能显示展示告警的大量弹出窗口，以及如果用户关闭弹出窗口，则以后不能确认告知该应用启动失败的信息。Furthermore, in the case of a mobile phone that displays an alert on the screen using a pop-up window, for example, when the mobile phone returns from outside the business range to within the business range, if a plurality of SMS messages and the multiple applications corresponding to these SMS messages cannot be launched, then due to the nature of mobile phones, the following problems arise: a large number of pop-up windows showing warnings cannot be displayed, and if the user closes the pop-up window, the application cannot be confirmed later Information about startup failure.

此外，在使用上述传统技术的应用自动启动系统中，如果收到SMS通知，则随后无任何限制地启动该应用，即使在移动通信终端的功能被限制的情况下，比如方式模式(即，设置的一种模式，以便处于对他人的考虑使移动终端能够被使用，例如，不给予铃声而改为用振动器产生振动的一种模式)和驾驶模式(即，通过始发呼叫的人，由于用于目前正在驾驶车辆，不能应答电话的事实的模式，在该模式中，输入信号的达到以输入信号的到达历史来记录，没有给予的铃声，并结束通话)，所以出现了一些问题，比如给予的铃声。In addition, in the application automatic launch system using the above-mentioned conventional technology, if an SMS notification is received, the application is subsequently launched without any restrictions, even in the case where the functions of the mobile communication terminal are limited, such as the mode mode (i.e., setting a mode in which the mobile terminal can be used in consideration of others, e.g. a mode in which a vibrator is used instead of giving a ringtone) and a driving mode (i.e. by the person originating the call, due to mode for the fact that the vehicle is currently being driven, and the phone cannot be answered, in which the arrival of the input signal is recorded with the arrival history of the input signal, there is no ringtone given, and the call is ended), so some problems arise, such as Give the ringtone.

图42A和图42B展示了当以方式模式执行SMS通知时的传统显示屏幕的实例。42A and 42B show examples of conventional display screens when SMS notification is performed in mode mode.

如果SMS通知发生在图42A所示的等待屏幕的显示期间，则按照惯例，不管移动电话是否处于方式模式，都启动应用，而不对其进行任何限制。结果，展示如图42B所示的应用启动显示。If the SMS notification occurs during the display of the waiting screen shown in FIG. 42A, the application is launched without any restriction by convention regardless of whether the mobile phone is in mode mode or not. As a result, an application launch display as shown in FIG. 42B is presented.

此外，在SMS中，由于单一消息中仅包含少量数据，因此仅仅传递信息概要，此后使用该信息逻辑位置上的终端(例如，统一资源定位器URL)获得该信息的细节。然而，当获得该信息时，自动处理一系列动作，比如：Also, in SMS, since only a small amount of data is included in a single message, only the summary of the information is delivered, after which details of the information are obtained using a terminal (eg, Uniform Resource Locator URL) at the logical location of the information. However, when this information is obtained, a series of actions are automatically processed, such as:

1.接收SMS PUSH消息1. Receive SMS PUSH message

2.启动应用2. Start the application

3.获得信息(即，访问网络)3. Obtaining information (ie, accessing the network)

当该处理发生时，在诸如容量之类的费率表依赖收费系统的控制下，依据更新的频率或者信息量增加通信收费金额，但不通知用户。所以，存在向用户征收高收费金额的可能性。此外，在使用移动终端的将来数据通信业务中，将交换的数据量将随着通信速率增加而增加，所以用户的经济负担将趋于增加。When this processing takes place, the amount of communication charge is increased according to the frequency of updates or the amount of information under the control of the rate table dependent charging system such as capacity, but the user is not notified. Therefore, there is a possibility that a high fee amount is charged to the user. Furthermore, in future data communication services using mobile terminals, the amount of data to be exchanged will increase as the communication rate increases, so the user's financial burden will tend to increase.

此外，由于诸如移动电话之类的移动通信终端的性能和功能性在近些年中得到改善，因此可以认为，将来除了提供犯罪预防系统的通信业务(参见图37)以及电子邮件自动接收业务之外，还将提供PUSH数据传递业务。In addition, since the performance and functionality of mobile communication terminals such as mobile phones have been improved in recent years, it is considered that in the future, in addition to providing communication services of crime prevention systems (see FIG. 37 ) and e-mail automatic reception services, In addition, PUSH data transfer service will also be provided.

如果业务以这种方式继续多样性(diversify)，并且用户能够利用单一移动通信终端接收多个传递业务，则存在将同时接收多个启动消息的可能性。If services continue to diversify in this way, and a user is able to receive multiple delivery services with a single mobile communication terminal, there is a possibility that multiple activation messages will be received simultaneously.

此外，在移动通信终端的电源被关断的同时，或者在移动通信终端位于通信业务范围之外(或如果从用于多个业务的单个服务器发送启动消息)的同时，如果多个传递服务器向移动通信终端发送上述的启动消息，则当移动通信终端再加电时，或者当终端从业务范围之外返回到业务范围之内时，可能容易出现实际上在短时间内同时接收多个消息的情况。这样，如果移动通信终端按接收的顺序处理这些消息，则具有高紧急等级的通知消息，如来自犯罪预防系统的通知的处理被延迟直至以后处理。Furthermore, while the power of the mobile communication terminal is turned off, or while the mobile communication terminal is outside the range of communication services (or if a start message is sent from a single server for multiple services), if a plurality of delivery servers send When the mobile communication terminal sends the above-mentioned startup message, when the mobile communication terminal is powered on again, or when the terminal returns from outside the service range to within the service range, it may be easy to receive multiple messages simultaneously in a short period of time. Condition. Thus, if the mobile communication terminal processes the messages in the order received, the processing of a notification message having a high urgency level, such as a notification from a crime prevention system, is delayed until later processing.

此外，已经安装上述游戏功能和邮件文本创建功能和类似功能的传统移动电话需要装备操作模式，包括停止无线部分操作的模式的操作模式，以及移动电话操作中的游戏模式。如果输入信号的到达被完全拒绝，则容易理解这些类型的模式，然而，在实际应用中，用户可能希望在等候输入信号的同时玩游戏。此外，难于理解的是，以拒绝输入信号达到的模式执行邮件文本的建立操作，并且移动电话的无线部分功能仅仅在邮件被发送时可用，以及存在这些操作使用户迷惑的可能性。In addition, a conventional mobile phone that has installed the above-mentioned game function and mail text creation function and the like needs to be equipped with operation modes, including an operation mode of a mode in which the operation of the wireless part is stopped, and a game mode in the operation of the mobile phone. These types of modes are easy to understand if the arrival of the input signal is completely rejected, however, in a practical application the user may wish to play a game while waiting for the input signal. In addition, it is difficult to understand that the creation operation of the mail text is performed in the mode of denying the arrival of the input signal, and the wireless part function of the mobile phone is only available when the mail is sent, and there is a possibility that these operations confuse the user.

移动电话软件现在已经出现，它装备有非常类似于台式计算机上使用的多处理运行环境。在这种类型的软件环境中，不能造出清晰特点，即移动电话必需设置一个游戏模式，因为应用(程序)正在运行，并且也不一定做此事。换言之，它被视为同意一种操作成为可能，其中当前运行的游戏或者应用被隐藏在后台中，同时处理已经中断该游戏或者应用的作业，并且当该作业已经结束时重新开始该中断地游戏或者应用。Mobile phone software is now available that is equipped with a multiprocessing runtime environment very similar to that used on desktop computers. In this type of software environment, it is not possible to create a clear feature that the mobile phone has to set a game mode because the application (program) is running and does not necessarily do it. In other words, it is considered possible to allow an operation in which a currently running game or application is hidden in the background while processing a job that has interrupted the game or application, and restarting the interrupted game when the job has ended or apply.

这样，如果在等待输入信号到达的同时正在运行游戏或应用，则传统技术造成以下问题：输入信号的到达意想不到地出现在屏幕上，导致操作错误或者感觉烦恼或者惊讶战胜了用户。In this way, if a game or an application is running while waiting for an input signal to arrive, the conventional technique causes a problem that the arrival of an input signal unexpectedly appears on the screen, causing an operation error or feeling annoyance or surprise overpowering the user.

此外，具有日语输入功能的传统移动电话显示的字符串是在字符输入期间按序输入的，但是还没有被设定。如果电话机的输入信号是在从多个候选者中选择字符串的操作中途到达，则存在以下问题，显示被切换到输入信号到达的通知屏幕上，中断了注意力在选择字符串操作的用户的思路。特别是，如果选择正在从大量候选者中进行，则由于必需通过顺序显示候选者来寻找预期字符，因此存在输入信号将在这种寻找期间到达并将中断该寻找的较高可能性。此外，当输入信号的到达或者电话机转换结束时，显示被恢复到原始字符输入屏幕。然而，在此情况下，移动电话返回到候选者被显示的原始状态，或者复原字符串被丢失的状态。即使候选者已经被显示，也将存在以下问题：用户难于再调用和继续他或她的被中断动作，并且如果复原字符串已经被丢失，则用户必需麻烦地重复按键操作并从头开始进行候选者选择。In addition, a conventional mobile phone with a Japanese input function displays a character string that is sequentially input during character input, but has not been set. If the input signal of the telephone arrives in the middle of the operation of selecting a character string from multiple candidates, there is a problem that the display is switched to the notification screen of the arrival of the input signal, interrupting the user who is concentrating on the operation of selecting the character string train of thought. In particular, if the selection is being made from a large number of candidates, since the desired character must be found by sequentially displaying the candidates, there is a high probability that an input signal will arrive during such a search and will interrupt the search. In addition, when the input signal arrives or the switching of the telephone set ends, the display is restored to the original character input screen. However, in this case, the mobile phone returns to the original state where the candidates are displayed, or the state where the recovery character string is lost. Even if the candidate has been displayed, there will be the following problems: it is difficult for the user to recall and continue his or her interrupted action, and if the recovery character string has been lost, the user must troublesomely repeat the keystroke and start the candidate from the beginning choose.

Operation error. Furthermore, it is also possible to obtain the effects of the present invention in every aspect of the mobile communication terminal without limiting the operation of the mobile communication terminal to a specific mode and execution of a specific application. Therefore, it is possible to provide a mobile communication terminal that is easy for users to understand and use.

根据本发明第七方面的移动通信终端，包括：显示单元，用于显示输入信号到达的通知或者作为输入信号到达的结果而产生的通知；和控制单元，用于监视在字符输入操作期间，复原字符是否被显示在显示单元上，以及当在显示单元上显示通知时，确定复原字符是否正在被显示在显示单元上，并且根据确定的结果，控制通知的显示。A mobile communication terminal according to a seventh aspect of the present invention, comprising: a display unit for displaying a notification of arrival of an input signal or a notification generated as a result of the arrival of an input signal; and a control unit for monitoring, during a character input operation, recovery Whether characters are displayed on the display unit, and when the notification is displayed on the display unit, it is determined whether recovery characters are being displayed on the display unit, and according to a result of the determination, display of the notification is controlled.

根据本发明第七方面的程序在计算机上运行：通知显示处理，用于显示输入信号到达的通知或者作为输入信号到达的结果而产生的通知；监视处理，用于监视在字符输入操作期间，复原字符是否被显示在显示单元上；和控制处理，用于在显示通知时，确定复原字符是否正在被显示在显示单元上，并且根据确定的结果，控制通知的显示。The program according to the seventh aspect of the present invention runs on the computer: notification display processing for displaying notification of the arrival of the input signal or a notification generated as a result of the arrival of the input signal; monitoring processing for monitoring during the character input operation, restoring whether characters are being displayed on the display unit; and control processing for determining whether recovery characters are being displayed on the display unit when displaying the notification, and controlling display of the notification based on a result of the determination.

根据本发明的第七方面，如果在字符输入操作期间，正在屏幕上显示复原字符，则不显示输入信号到达的通知。因此，可以获得在用户执行设置操作之前不会被输入消息到达的通知中断的效果。所以，在电话会话结束和屏幕返回到原始字符输入屏幕之后，能够从下一个字符输入再次开始，并且不会浪费在输入操作中途之前已经执行的工作。此外，能够提供一种可舒服使用的移动通信终端，即使中断了用户的注意力，也不会造成由此产生的任何烦恼的感觉。According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, if the recovery character is being displayed on the screen during the character input operation, the notification of the arrival of the input signal is not displayed. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect that is not interrupted by notification of the arrival of an input message until the user performs a setting operation. Therefore, after the telephone session ends and the screen returns to the original character input screen, it is possible to start again from the next character input without wasting the work that has been performed before the middle of the input operation.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

(第一实施例)(first embodiment)

在本实施例中，当服务器把应用启动指令给予移动通信终端时，设置有效期限，并且移动通信终端不服从有效期限已经过去的启动指令。In this embodiment, when the server gives the application activation instruction to the mobile communication terminal, an effective period is set, and the mobile communication terminal does not obey the activation instruction whose effective period has passed.

图1是基于本发明第一实施例的应用启动的信息提供系统的结构图。本实施例展示了本发明应用于服务器向用户提供股票价格信息的服务器系统的情况。FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of an application-activated information providing system based on the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment shows the application of the present invention to a server system in which the server provides stock price information to users.

图1所示的系统由以下部件构成：股票价格信息服务器1；SMS服务器6，将来自股票价格信息服务器1的SMS消息发送给用户；用户终端7，充当属于用户的移动通信终端；和移动交换系统8，用于中继股票价格信息服务器1、SMS服务器6、用户终端7之间的通信。移动交换系统8和用户终端7通过两条传输路径连接，这两条传输路径是用于数据通信的业务信道和用于SMS(即，PUSH消息)通信的寻呼信道。The system shown in Fig. 1 is made up of following parts: stockprice information server 1;SMS server 6, sends the SMS message from stockprice information server 1 to the user;User terminal 7, acts as the mobile communication terminal that belongs to the user; And mobile exchange Thesystem 8 is used for relaying the communication between the stockprice information server 1 , theSMS server 6 and theuser terminal 7 . Themobile switching system 8 and theuser terminal 7 are connected by two transmission paths, a traffic channel for data communication and a paging channel for SMS (ie PUSH message) communication.

股票价格信息服务器1连接到由证券交换机和证券公司构成的证券交易网络2。股票价格信息服务器1具有本地股票价格数据库(DB)3和用户DB4。进行股票价格交易的信息被记录在本地股票价格DB 3中，并实时更新股票价格信息。正在接收股票价格信息提供业务的用户所持有的股票的名称、所持有的股票数量、用户监视的股票的购买价格等被预先存储在用户DB4中。图2展示了本地股票价格DB3中记录的内容的实例，图3展示了用户DB4中记录的内容的实例。The stockprice information server 1 is connected to asecurities exchange network 2 constituted by securities exchanges and securities companies. The stockprice information server 1 has a local stock price database (DB) 3 and a user DB4. Information on stock price transactions is recorded in the localstock price DB 3, and the stock price information is updated in real time. The name of the stock held by the user receiving the stock price information providing service, the number of the stock held, the purchase price of the stock monitored by the user, etc. are stored in the user DB4 in advance. FIG. 2 shows an example of the contents recorded in the local stock price DB3, and FIG. 3 shows an example of the contents recorded in the user DB4.

当股票价格信息服务器1从证券交易网络2接收到股票价格的更新信息时，确定被更新的股票是否是用户DB4中记录的股票。如果是用户DB4中记录的股票，则执行更新启动处理。在更新启动处理中，首先从本地股票价格DB 3和用户DB 4中存储的信息中建立如图4所示的用于用户的股票价格更新信息，并且在临时存储单元5中获得一个空间，并将该信息存储在该空间内。When the stockprice information server 1 receives update information of stock prices from thestock exchange network 2, it is determined whether the updated stock is a stock recorded in the user DB4. If it is a stock recorded in the user DB4, update start processing is executed. In update and start processing, first set up the stock price update information for the user as shown in Figure 4 from the information stored in the localstock price DB 3 and theuser DB 4, and obtain a space in thetemporary storage unit 5, and Store that information in that space.

然后，股票价格信息服务器1发送如图5所示的应用启动邮件，以便对用户DB4中存储的用户的SMS地址更新数据。在该启动的内容中，用展示邮件是特定消息(即，指令应用启动的消息)的二字节二进制码、标识待运行的应用的代码、应用启动参数和该邮件有效期限的日期和时间记录该邮件。Then, the stockprice information server 1 transmits an application activation mail as shown in FIG. 5 in order to update data on the SMS address of the user stored in the user DB4. In the content of the startup, the date and time record of the two-byte binary code showing that the mail is a specific message (that is, a message instructing the application to start), the code identifying the application to be run, the application startup parameters, and the validity period of the mail the mail.

当用户终端7处于能够接收SMS消息的状态下，经由SMS服务器6和移动交换系统8，通过寻呼信道接收如图6所示的SMS消息。When theuser terminal 7 is in a state capable of receiving SMS messages, theSMS server 6 and themobile switching system 8 receive the SMS messages shown in FIG. 6 through the paging channel.

图7展示了当用户终端7接收SMS消息时的处理流程。FIG. 7 shows the processing flow when theuser terminal 7 receives an SMS message.

当用户终端7接收上述SMS消息时，首先，辨别SMS消息的文本的前两个字节，确定它们是否为展示消息是一个特定消息的二进制码(步骤S1-此后省略步骤措辞)。如果该消息不是特定消息，执行常规SMS消息接收处理(S2)。如果二进制码展示消息是特定消息，读取待启动的应用码，并确定该应用码是否被注册到图8所示的应用列表上(S3)，它是在安装应用时注册的。如果待启动的应用未被注册在应用列表上，则不启动该应用，并在日志中记录不启动的原因(S6)。然后，确定有效期限是否被附加到启动消息上，并确定是否在有效期限内收到启动消息(S4)。如果在有效期限内收到启动消息，则启动在应用列表上记录的应用(S5)。如果未在有效期限内收到启动消息，则不启动应用并且在日志中记录不启动的原因(S6)。When theuser terminal 7 receives the above-mentioned SMS message, first, distinguish the first two bytes of the text of the SMS message to determine whether they are binary codes showing that the message is a specific message (step S1 - step wording omitted hereafter). If the message is not a specific message, normal SMS message reception processing is performed (S2). If the binary code display message is a specific message, read the application code to be started, and determine whether the application code is registered on the application list shown in Figure 8 (S3), which is registered when the application is installed. If the application to be started is not registered in the application list, the application is not started, and the reason for not starting is recorded in the log (S6). Then, it is determined whether an expiration date is attached to the start message, and whether the start message is received within the expiration date (S4). If the activation message is received within the validity period, the application recorded on the application list is activated (S5). If the start message is not received within the validity period, the application is not started and the reason for not starting is recorded in the log (S6).

利用图9所示的过程执行是否在有效期限内接收启动消息的S4确定。The S4 determination of whether the start message is received within the valid period is performed using the procedure shown in FIG. 9 .

首先，检查有效期限的时间是否作为绝对时间(例如，2003年11月11日上午9点48分0秒)被记录在该消息中(步骤S11)。绝对时间与UNTL报头一起被记录(参见图5)。这样，做出UNTL报头是否被记录在消息中的确定，并且如果记录了该报头，则把该绝对时间作为有效期限的时间(S12)。如果未纪录UNTL报头，则检查是否在消息中记录了有效期(S13)。有效期与WHLE报头(未示出)一起被记录。如果WHLE报头被记录在该消息中，则把SMS消息报头中记录的该有效期+消息到股票价格信息服务器1的存储时间而获得一个值计算为有效期限的时间(S14)。通常，立即执行从信息提供服务器(这里是股票信息服务器1)到SMS服务器6的邮件传递，并且把消息存储时间和信息提供服务器发射消息的时间基本上视为同一时间。First, it is checked whether the time of the expiration date is recorded in the message as an absolute time (for example, November 11, 2003, 9:48:00 AM) (step S11). The absolute time is recorded together with the UNTL header (see Figure 5). Thus, a determination is made as to whether or not the UNTL header is recorded in the message, and if the header is recorded, the absolute time is taken as the time of the expiration date (S12). If the UNTL header is not recorded, it is checked whether an expiration date is recorded in the message (S13). The validity period is recorded together with a WHLE header (not shown). If the WHLE header is recorded in the message, then the validity period+message recorded in the SMS message header to the storage time of the stockprice information server 1 obtains a value and is calculated as the time of the validity period (S14). Normally, mail delivery from the information providing server (here, the stock information server 1) to theSMS server 6 is performed immediately, and the message storage time and the time when the information providing server transmits the message are regarded as substantially the same time.

如果既没有记录UNTL报头也没有记录WHLE报头，则检查图10所示的应用类型列表(S15)。在应用类型列表中，为每类应用记录有效期。应用类型包括，例如股票价格业务，天气预报业务、新闻业务、报警业务、游戏和类似业务。如果记录了有效期，则把SMS消息报头中记录的该有效期加该消息到服务器的存储时间而获得一个值计算为有效期限的时间(S16)。如果未纪录有限期限，则设置无期限或者不切合实际的有效期限，如2099年12月31日。If neither the UNTL header nor the WHLE header is recorded, the application type list shown in FIG. 10 is checked (S15). In the application type list, record the validity period for each type of application. Application types include, for example, stock price services, weather forecast services, news services, alarm services, games and the like. If the valid period is recorded, then the valid period recorded in the SMS message header is added to the storage time of the server to obtain a value calculated as the valid period (S16). If no limited period is recorded, set an unlimited or unrealistic effective period, such as December 31, 2099.

用户终端17用附加到邮件上的参数启动应用strenew。应用strenew利用HTTP协议从股票价格服务器1获取更新信息。如果需要，可以构建用户终端7，以便自动连接互联网。如果从应用strenew得到用于更新的接入，股票价格信息服务器1搜索临时存储单元5并经由移动交换系统8通过业务信道发射用户代码匹配的更新信息。当结束数据传送时，从临时存储单元5中删除更新消息。当用户终端7获取更新消息时，它显示股票价格已经改变的事实，并利用图11所示的更新通知屏幕通知用户。同时，股票价格信息服务器1为下载已经结束的用户删除价格更新信息，并释放为价格更新信息所获得的存储空间。在结束该交易日时，更新概述建立日的信息并利用类似方法进行一个更新。The user terminal 17 starts the application strenew with the parameters appended to the mail. The application strenew obtains update information from thestock price server 1 using the HTTP protocol. If desired, theuser terminal 7 can be constructed so as to automatically connect to the Internet. If access for update is obtained from the application strenew, the stockprice information server 1 searches thetemporary storage unit 5 and transmits the update information matching the subscriber code through the traffic channel via themobile switching system 8 . When the data transfer is ended, the update message is deleted from thetemporary storage unit 5 . When theuser terminal 7 acquires the update message, it displays the fact that the stock price has changed, and notifies the user with the update notification screen shown in FIG. 11 . Simultaneously, the stockprice information server 1 deletes the price update information for the user whose download has ended, and releases the storage space obtained for the price update information. At the end of the trading day, update the information summarizing the establishment day and use a similar method to make an update.

以上是当本发明应用于向用户提供股票价格信息的信息提供服务器系统时的说明，并且是股票价格信息服务器1用作电子邮件服务器(例如，信息提供服务器)的一个实例的说明。然而，本发明还可以应用于提供其它类型信息的系统。例如，本发明还可以应用于图10所示的各种信息提供业务系统，比如股票价格业务、天气预报业务、新闻业务、报警业务和游戏。天气预报服务器、新闻服务器、报警服务器、游戏服务器等分别用作这些情况之每一个的服务器。The above is an explanation when the present invention is applied to an information providing server system that provides stock price information to users, and is an explanation of an example where the stockprice information server 1 is used as an electronic mail server (for example, an information providing server). However, the invention can also be applied to systems providing other types of information. For example, the present invention can also be applied to various information providing service systems shown in FIG. 10, such as stock price service, weather forecast service, news service, alarm service, and games. A weather forecast server, a news server, an alarm server, a game server, etc. are used as servers for each of these cases, respectively.

图12是展示本发明第一实施例的充当用户终端7的移动通信终端的结构的方框图。FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing the structure of a mobile communication terminal serving asuser terminal 7 of the first embodiment of the present invention.

在图12中，CPU 10控制整个操作，并且还确定有效期限是否被附加到来自诸如股票价格信息服务器1的服务器的SMS消息上。该CPU还确定消息的有效期限，并且根据SMS消息中包含的指令控制应用的启动。通信单元11与服务器一起管理SMS消息和电子邮件通信，并且具有诸如常规移动电话的移动通信终端的通信功能。应用存储单元12存储多种类型的应用，这些应用对应于如图10所示的多种业务。此外，应用列表和每个应用的有效期等被记录在应用存储单元12中。按键和显示单元13设有操作按键，并且还显示诸如服务器所供应的股票价格的信息。ROM 14存储CPU 10的程序和类似内容。RAM 15用于工作任务。In FIG. 12, theCPU 10 controls the entire operation, and also determines whether an expiration date is attached to an SMS message from a server such as the stockprice information server 1. The CPU also determines the validity period of the message and controls the launching of the application according to the instructions contained in the SMS message. Thecommunication unit 11 manages SMS message and e-mail communication together with the server, and has a communication function of a mobile communication terminal such as a conventional mobile phone. Theapplication storage unit 12 stores various types of applications corresponding to various services as shown in FIG. 10 . In addition, an application list, a validity period of each application, and the like are recorded in theapplication storage unit 12 . The key anddisplay unit 13 is provided with operation keys, and also displays information such as stock prices supplied by the server. TheROM 14 stores programs of theCPU 10 and the like.RAM 15 is used for work tasks.

(第二实施例)(second embodiment)

在本实施例中，描述了存在响应SMS消息的接收而试图启动应用的失败情况，以及建立和显示指示该事实的启动失败消息的情况。In this embodiment, a case is described where there is a failure in attempting to start an application in response to reception of an SMS message, and a start failure message indicating that fact is created and displayed.

图13展示了涉及本发明第二实施例的系统结构。Fig. 13 shows the system structure related to the second embodiment of the present invention.

在图13中，SMS服务器104经由分组网络103接收由内容服务器101向移动电话102传递的信息。如果移动电话102是CDMA型电话，则SMS服务器104通过寻呼信道发射PUSH消息，所发射的PUSH消息由移动电话102接收。在此情况下，即使移动电话102正在进行数据通信或者利用PUSH消息的传输经由业务信道并行进行电话呼叫。也可以执行消息接收处理。当移动电话12接收PUSH消息时，它启动对应于该PUSH消息的应用，并且为了经由业务信道的数据通信，经由分组服务数据节点(PSDN)105开始与内容服务器101通信。需要注意的是，在该实施例中，SMS用于消息的传输和接收；然而，使用电子邮件取代SMS也是可能的。In FIG. 13 ,SMS server 104 receives information delivered bycontent server 101 tomobile phone 102 viapacket network 103 . If themobile phone 102 is a CDMA type phone, theSMS server 104 transmits a PUSH message over the paging channel, and the transmitted PUSH message is received by themobile phone 102 . In this case, even if themobile phone 102 is in data communication or a phone call is made in parallel via the traffic channel with the transmission of the PUSH message. Message reception processing can also be performed. When themobile phone 12 receives a PUSH message, it starts the application corresponding to the PUSH message and starts communicating with thecontent server 101 via the Packet Served Data Node (PSDN) 105 for data communication via the traffic channel. Note that in this embodiment, SMS is used for the transmission and reception of messages; however, it is also possible to use email instead of SMS.

图14展示了用作本发明第二实施例的移动通信终端的移动电话102。FIG. 14 shows amobile phone 102 serving as a mobile communication terminal of the second embodiment of the present invention.

当控制单元123经由天线121和无线单元122接收到PUSH消息时，它启动SMS发射器124。控制单元123执行语音单元125、操作单元126、显示单元127、SMS发射器124、邮件器128和应用单元129的综合控制。多个应用被存储在应用单元129中。When the control unit 123 receives a PUSH message via the antenna 121 and the wireless unit 122 , it activates the SMS transmitter 124 . The control unit 123 performs comprehensive control of the voice unit 125 , the operation unit 126 , the display unit 127 , the SMS transmitter 124 , the mailer 128 and the application unit 129 . A plurality of applications are stored in the application unit 129 .

SMS发射器124设置有分析PUSH消息中所包含的应用信息的装置；根据分析结果启动应用的装置；建立装置，当不能启动应用时，建立差错消息，然后建立包括PUSH消息和差错消息的信息的SMS消息(此后称之为启动失败SMS消息)；以及一个发射装置，向邮件器128发送启动失败SMS消息。邮件器128接收和服务PUSH消息和电子邮件，并且还根据操作单元126的用户操作在显示单元127上显示信息。The SMS transmitter 124 is provided with a device for analyzing the application information contained in the PUSH message; a device for starting the application according to the analysis result; a device for establishing, when the application cannot be started, setting up an error message, and then setting up a message comprising the PUSH message and the information of the error message SMS message (hereinafter referred to as start failure SMS message); and a transmitter for sending the start failure SMS message to mailer 128 . The mailer 128 receives and serves PUSH messages and emails, and also displays information on the display unit 127 according to user operations of the operation unit 126 .

图15显示了SMS发射器124的操作顺序。FIG. 15 shows the sequence of operations of the SMS transmitter 124 .

当移动电话102收到SMS消息(S101)时，把SMS消息发送给SMS发射器124。SMS发射器124确定SMS消息是否是应用启动消息(S102)。如果SMS消息不是应用启动消息，则由于SMS消息仅仅是短消息，因此实际上它被发送给邮件器128(S107)。When themobile phone 102 receives an SMS message (S101), it sends the SMS message to the SMS transmitter 124. The SMS transmitter 124 determines whether the SMS message is an application start message (S102). If the SMS message is not an application start message, since the SMS message is only a short message, it is actually sent to the mailer 128 (S107).

如果SMS消息是应用启动消息，则分析SMS消息(S103)。从应用启动消息中提取应用名或者PUSH消息业务名、业务提供商的联系细节(包括电话号码和电子邮件地址)或者业务的设置URL地址(在本实施例中，使用业务删除设置URL)、当启动应用时所需的参数。If the SMS message is an application start message, the SMS message is analyzed (S103). Extract the application name or PUSH message service name, service provider's contact details (including phone number and email address) or the setting URL address of the service (in this embodiment, use the service delete setting URL) from the application start message, when Parameters required when starting the application.

然后，根据应用启动消息的分析结果，启动应用单元129中的对应的应用(S104)。如果不能启动应用(即，如果步骤S105中的确定结果为NO)，则把PUSH消息中包含的应用名或者PUSH消息业务名、业务取消设置URL地址、包含不能启动应用的原因的差错消息和接收PUSH消息的时间建立为文本数据启动失败SMS消息(这不局限于SMS消息并且可以采用诸如电子邮件的消息数据的形式)(S106)。然后把该消息发送给邮件器128(S107)。不能启动应用的原因可以包括以下事实：应用未被安装在移动电话上，应用的有效期限已过期，或者时间是在SMS消息中包含的SMS消息的有效期限之外。Then, according to the analysis result of the application activation message, the corresponding application in the application unit 129 is activated (S104). If the application cannot be started (that is, if the determination result in step S105 is NO), then the application name or PUSH message service name, service cancellation setting URL address, the error message and the received The time of the PUSH message is established as text data start failure SMS message (this is not limited to SMS message and may take the form of message data such as email) (S106). The message is then sent to the mailer 128 (S107). Reasons why the application cannot be launched may include the fact that the application is not installed on the mobile phone, the validity period of the application has expired, or the time is outside the validity period of the SMS message contained in the SMS message.

图16展示了SMS消息的数据结构的实例。Figure 16 shows an example of the data structure of an SMS message.

常规SMS消息是短文本消息，然而，启动应用的SMS消息是二进制数据。启动应用的SMS消息主要包括业务提供商的信息和应用提供商的信息。例如，业务名称、业务提供商的名称、业务提供商的URL、业务提供商的URL、业务提供商的电子邮件地址、应用提供商的电话号码、应用提供商的URL、应用提供商的电子邮件地址。Regular SMS messages are short text messages, however, SMS messages that launch applications are binary data. The SMS message for starting the application mainly includes the information of the service provider and the information of the application provider. For example, business name, name of business provider, URL of business provider, URL of business provider, email address of business provider, phone number of application provider, URL of application provider, email of application provider address.

在图16所示的数据结构的实例中，包括：用来确定SMS消息是否为启动应用的SMS消息或者是否为常规文本SMS消息数据的报头；PUSH消息的名称或者应用的名称；业务取消设置URL地址；启动应用时所需的参数。需要注意的是，也可以使用业务持续设置URL或者业务预约设置URL来替代业务取消设置URL地址，或者可以包括所有这些之外的其它项。In the example of the data structure shown in Fig. 16, include: be used for determining whether SMS message is the SMS message of starting application or whether it is the header of regular text SMS message data; The name of PUSH message or the name of application; Service cancellation setting URL Address; parameters required when launching the application. It should be noted that, instead of the service cancellation setting URL address, the business continuation setting URL or the business reservation setting URL may also be used, or other items other than all these may be included.

图17展示了启动失败SMS消息的一个实例，它是当对应于股票价格业务的应用不存在时的实例。Fig. 17 shows an example of a startup failure SMS message when the application corresponding to the stock price service does not exist.

当用户希望时或者当SMS消息被接收时，邮件器128被启动。如果邮件器128收到启动失败SMS消息时，就存储该消息并把该消息显示为未读取的SMS消息或者电子邮件。由于启动失败SMS消息中包含发件人和标题，因此如果这些被显示为图17左侧所示的列表，就能够立即启动失败SMS消息的内容。如果用户选择启动失败SMS消息，则如图17右侧所示，可以显示启动失败的应用或者业务的名称、差错消息和可以进行业务取消设备的URL。Mailer 128 is activated when desired by the user or when an SMS message is received. If the mailer 128 receives the startup failure SMS message, it stores the message and displays the message as an unread SMS message or email. Since the sender and title are included in the start failure SMS message, if these are displayed as the list shown on the left side of FIG. 17, the contents of the start failure SMS message can be immediately obtained. If the user selects the SMS message of failure to start, as shown on the right side of FIG. 17 , the name of the application or service that failed to start, an error message, and the URL of the device that can cancel the service may be displayed.

如果用户希望确定股票价格信息业务，则通过简单地选择图17所示的取消设置的URL，启动浏览器，并且一旦进行了预定设置就可以取消业务。此外，尽管图中有省略，但是如果SMS消息中包含电话号码，而不是进行业务取消设置，那么如果选择了该电话号码，则能够对业务提供商进行电话呼叫。If the user wishes to confirm the stock price information service, then by simply selecting the URL for canceling the setting shown in FIG. 17, the browser is started, and the service can be canceled once predetermined settings are made. Also, despite the omission in the figure, if a phone number is included in the SMS message instead of service cancellation setting, then if the phone number is selected, a phone call can be made to the service provider.

此外，由于只要用户不删除启动失败SMS消息，启动失败SMS消息的数据就被保持为SMS消息，因此如果用户观看启动失败SMS消息并访问业务提供商，则用户可以在任何时候取消应用启动差错的业务。In addition, since the data of the startup failure SMS message is maintained as an SMS message as long as the user does not delete the startup failure SMS message, the user can cancel the application startup error at any time if the user watches the startup failure SMS message and accesses the service provider. business.

根据本实施例，可以获得以下效果：According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained:

如果收到SMS消息并且存在应用启动的失败，则通过把其信息转换成消息数据并将其存储为消息数据并在屏幕上显示，就可以给予用户一个告警。If an SMS message is received and there is a failure to start the application, an alert can be given to the user by converting its information into message data and storing it as message data and displaying it on the screen.

如果收到SMS消息并且存在应用启动的失败，如果业务提供商信息被转换成文本消息并被显示，以及如果选择了该消息，则通过执行有关的操作(比如选择启动浏览器的URL)，用户就能够容易地确定业务，继续业务，或者预订该业务。If an SMS message is received and there is a failure to start the application, if the service provider information is converted into a text message and displayed, and if the message is selected, by performing a related operation (such as selecting a URL to launch a browser), the user It is possible to easily determine the service, continue the service, or reserve the service.

即使同时收到大量的SMS消息并且存在应用启动的失败，则由于SMS消息被存储为消息数据，因此用户能够在它希望的任何时间观看作为消息数据的失败原因，而不需要执行任何复杂操作，比如每次一个地关闭弹出窗口，因此在此情况下启动失败SMS消息被显示在弹出窗口上。Even if a large number of SMS messages are received at the same time and there is a failure of application startup, since the SMS messages are stored as message data, the user can view the cause of failure as message data at any time it wants without performing any complicated operations, For example, the pop-up windows are closed one at a time, so in this case the startup failure SMS message is displayed on the pop-up window.

通过在消息数据中包含发件人信息和标题，当用户观看SMS列表时，用户能够立即确定SMS消息的内容。By including the sender information and title in the message data, the user can immediately determine the content of the SMS message when viewing the SMS list.

需要注意的是，除了存储启动失败消息以及通过在显示单元上作为文本或者弹出显示该消息来通知用户关于该消息的内容外，还可以按收到常规消息时把它显示为最新到达的消息的相同方式，通过点亮或者闪烁或者熄灭LED或者类似器件、通过使用振动器或类似物进行振动、或者通过使用扬声器或类似物发声，来进行通知。It should be noted that, in addition to storing the startup failure message and informing the user about the content of the message by displaying the message as text or pop-up on the display unit, it is also possible to display it as the latest arriving message when a regular message is received. In the same way, notification is made by turning on or blinking or turning off an LED or the like, by vibrating using a vibrator or the like, or by making a sound using a speaker or the like.

(第三实施例)(third embodiment)

在本实施例中，通过根据SMS通知(即，消息)中包含的应用信息和移动通信终端的状态确定能否启动应用，而不试图启动因移动通信终端的状态而限制启动的应用。In this embodiment, it is determined whether the application can be started according to the application information contained in the SMS notification (ie, message) and the status of the mobile communication terminal, without attempting to start the application whose startup is restricted due to the status of the mobile communication terminal.

图18是本发明第三实施例的应用自动启动系统的结构图。Fig. 18 is a structural diagram of an application automatic launching system according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

图18展示了当从另一个移动终端202或者PC203对移动终端20如混合移动终端进行用于应用启动的PUSH型SMS通知时的网络结构，该混合移动终端是通过将cdma 20011x与1xEVDO(仅进化数据)组合形成的。18 shows the network structure when PUSH-type SMS notification for application startup is performed from anothermobile terminal 202 orPC 203 to a mobile terminal 20 such as a hybrid mobile terminal by combining cdma 20011x with 1xEVDO (evolution only data) are combined.

当通知来自移动终端202时，经由cdma2000 1x基站204、交换站205、电话有线网206如互联网、交换站207和cdma 1x基站208传送该通知。当通知来自PC203时，经由互联网(IP网)209、网关(G.W.)210、交换站207和cdma2000 1x基站208传送该通知。移动终端201与PC 203之间的高速分组通信是经由IP网络209、交换站211以及1xEVDO基站212实施的。When notification comes frommobile terminal 202, the notification is transmitted via cdma20001x base station 204, switchingstation 205,telephone cable network 206 such as Internet, switchingstation 207 and cdma1x base station 208. When notification comes fromPC 203, the notification is transmitted via Internet (IP Network) 209, Gateway (G.W.) 210,Switching Station 207 and cdma20001x Base Station 208. High-speed packet communication between themobile terminal 201 and thePC 203 is implemented via theIP network 209, switchingstation 211, and1xEVDO base station 212.

图19是展示本发明第三实施例的移动通信终端的结构的方框图。FIG. 19 is a block diagram showing the structure of a mobile communication terminal of a third embodiment of the present invention.

在图19中，存储在ROM单元219中的SMS发射器391设有一个确定装置，该确定装置分析来自移动终端202或者PC203的SMS通知中包含的应用信息，并且在方式模式时，确定应用启动是否可能。In FIG. 19, theSMS transmitter 391 stored in theROM unit 219 is provided with a determining means which analyzes the application information contained in the SMS notification from themobile terminal 202 or thePC 203, and in the mode mode, determines that the application starts Is it possible.

多个应用被存储在RAM单元220的应用单元402中。上述确定所必需的应用信息和显示自动启动是否可能的信息被存储在RAM单元220的数据库(DB)401中，用于每个应用。A plurality of applications are stored in theapplication unit 402 of theRAM unit 220 . Application information necessary for the above determination and information showing whether automatic activation is possible are stored in the database (DB) 401 of theRAM unit 220 for each application.

除此之外，移动通信终端还设有语音处理单元214、发射单元215、接收单元216、显示单元217、操作单元218、天线221、无线单元222等等，以便实施常规移动电话功能。此外，控制单元213中的CPU的程序被存储在ROM单元219中。In addition, the mobile communication terminal also has avoice processing unit 214, a transmittingunit 215, a receivingunit 216, adisplay unit 217, anoperating unit 218, anantenna 221, awireless unit 222, etc., in order to implement conventional mobile phone functions. In addition, programs of the CPU in thecontrol unit 213 are stored in theROM unit 219 .

图20展示了SMS发射器391中的确定装置分析应用信息并控制上述确定所需的数据库401的结构的实例。FIG. 20 shows an example of the structure of thedatabase 401 required for the determination means in theSMS transmitter 391 to analyze application information and control the above determination.

在图20中，箭头A表示安装在移动终端201中的应用的应用号，而箭头B表示该应用的应用名。箭头C表示用于常规操作的自动启动设置的ON/OFF分类，而箭头D表示方式模式的自动启动设置地ON/OFF分类。这ON/OFF涉及是否将自动启动应用或者是否将不自动启动应用。这些数据项为每个应用而存储(这里，00到10)。In FIG. 20, arrow A indicates the application number of the application installed in themobile terminal 201, and arrow B indicates the application name of the application. Arrow C indicates ON/OFF classification of automatic start setting for normal operation, and arrow D indicates ON/OFF classification of automatic start setting for mode mode. This ON/OFF relates to whether the application will be automatically launched or whether the application will not be automatically launched. These data items are stored for each application (here, 00 to 10).

例如，在常规操作期间当自动启动设置为ON时，启动为应用号01而记录的播放器应用，然而，在方式模式中，当自动启动设置为OFF时，不启动播放器应用。对于用户希望在方式模式中施加自动启动限制的应用，这是有效的。当自动启动设置为ON时，以常规模式启动为应用号10所记录的GPS应用。此外，当自动启动设置为ON时，还可以以方式模式启动该GPS应用。对于用户不希望以方式模式施加自动启动限制的应用，这是有效的。For example, when the auto-start setting is ON during normal operation, the player application registered for application number 01 is started, however, in mode mode, when the auto-start setting is OFF, the player application is not started. This is valid for applications where the user wishes to impose autostart restrictions in mode mode. When Auto Launch is set to ON, the GPS application registered forapplication number 10 is launched in normal mode. In addition, when the automatic start is set to ON, the GPS application can also be started in mode mode. This is valid for applications where the user does not wish to impose autostart restrictions in mode mode.

下面结合附图21的流程图描述基于上述结构的操作。The operation based on the above structure will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 21 .

当控制单元213经由天线221和无线单元222收到SMS通知时，启动SMS发射器391，并分析SMS通知中包含的应用信息(S201)。即，控制单元将SMS通知中包含的应用信息与数据库401中的相应信息进行比较，并且对于匹配数据库401中信息的应用信息，以基于图20中箭头D的方式模式确定该应用的ON/OFF设置(S202)。此外，控制单元213确定移动通信终端当前是否处于方式模式，如果自动启动是方式模式的ON，则执行启动处理(S203)。如果自动启动是方式模式中的OFF，则执行启动无效处理并将其显示在显示单元217上(S204).When thecontrol unit 213 receives the SMS notification via theantenna 221 and thewireless unit 222, it activates theSMS transmitter 391, and analyzes application information contained in the SMS notification (S201). That is, the control unit compares the application information contained in the SMS notification with the corresponding information in thedatabase 401, and for the application information matching the information in thedatabase 401, determines ON/OFF of the application in a manner based on arrow D in FIG. setting (S202). Furthermore, thecontrol unit 213 determines whether the mobile communication terminal is currently in the manner mode, and if the automatic activation is ON of the manner mode, performs activation processing (S203). If automatic activation is OFF in the mode mode, activation invalidation processing is performed and displayed on the display unit 217 (S204).

图22A和图22B展示了当以方式模式给予SMS通知时的本发明的显示屏幕的实例。22A and 22B show examples of display screens of the present invention when SMS notifications are given in mode mode.

当SMS通知在图22A所示的等候显示期间到达，并且移动通信终端已经被置于方式模式时，那么当根据确定结果不能启动一个应用时，则通过弹出窗口或者全屏幕显示展示基于包含时标和原因的SMS通知的应用自动启动结果，如图22B所示。所以使用户得知该事实。同时，还可以通过输入信号到达灯的闪烁图案，使用户得知该事实。When the SMS notification arrives during the waiting display shown in FIG. 22A , and the mobile communication terminal has been placed in the mode mode, then when an application cannot be started according to the determination result, a display based on the time stamp is displayed through a pop-up window or a full screen display. The application auto-launch result of the SMS notification of the reason, as shown in FIG. 22B. So make the user aware of that fact. At the same time, it is also possible to inform the user of this fact by the flashing pattern of the input signal reaching the lamp.

如果确定结果展示不可能启动，则可以在一个预定时间之后做出另一个确定，并且如果现在不能取消方式模式，则能够启动，或者如果预定时段取消了方式模式，则能够进行启动。If the determination shows that activation is impossible, another determination may be made after a predetermined time and activation is enabled if the mode mode cannot be canceled now, or if the mode mode is canceled for a predetermined period of time.

在本实施例中，给出了关于能否以方式模式启动应用的确定的说明。然而，该说明也适应于关于移动通信终端的某些功能或者其它功能受到限制的模式(不同于方式模式)下能否启动应用的确定，这些模式例如是使附近的人免于打扰的静音或不发光的模式(即状态)，也就是驱动模式、能量转换模式(即，例如通过降低显示，减少能量消耗的模式)，静音模式(即，既不振铃也不振动的模式)。此外，上述模式中的自动启动设置可以仅仅是ON或OFF的设置。如果自动启动设置仅仅是OFF，那么如果不进行设置，则以此模式进行自动启动。如果自动启动设置仅仅为ON，则当不进行设置时，以此方式执行自动启动。In this embodiment, a description is given about the determination of whether an application can be started in mode mode. However, the description also applies to the determination of whether the application can be launched in a mode (different from the mode mode) in which certain functions or other functions of the mobile communication terminal are restricted, such as mute or Modes (i.e. states) that do not emit light, i.e. drive modes, energy conversion modes (i.e. modes that reduce energy consumption, eg by lowering the display), silent modes (i.e. modes that neither ring nor vibrate). In addition, the automatic start setting in the above mode may be ON or OFF setting only. If the automatic start setting is only OFF, then if no setting is made, automatic start is performed in this mode. If the auto start setting is ON only, auto start is performed in this way when no setting is made.

(第四实施例)(fourth embodiment)

在本实施例中，当每次收到PUSH消息时，检查待启动的应用和其成本，并检查通过启动该应用和访问网络所产生的费用与累积通信费用之和是否将超过为累积通信费用而设置的上限。只有在不超过上限的情况下，才启动该应用。In this embodiment, when a PUSH message is received each time, check the application to be started and its cost, and check whether the sum of the fee generated by starting the application and accessing the network and the accumulated communication fee will exceed the cumulative communication fee And set the upper limit. Only start the app if the upper limit is not exceeded.

本发明第四实施例的SMS系统的结构图与涉及第二实施例的图13所示的相同，并且整个操作也与第二实施例的操作相同。The configuration diagram of the SMS system of the fourth embodiment of the present invention is the same as that shown in FIG. 13 relating to the second embodiment, and the overall operation is also the same as that of the second embodiment.

也就是说，在图13中，内容服务器101经由分组网络103发送启动移动终端102的应用的信息。SMS服务器104接收该信息以及SMS服务器104经由常规寻呼信道相移动终端102发送作为PUSH消息的该信息。移动终端102经由寻呼信道接收PUSH消息，结果是能够经由与寻呼信道并行的业务信道进行数据通信和会话。That is, in FIG. 13 , thecontent server 101 transmits information to start the application of themobile terminal 102 via thepacket network 103 . TheSMS server 104 receives this information and theSMS server 104 sends this information to themobile terminal 102 via a conventional paging channel as a PUSH message. Themobile terminal 102 receives the PUSH message via the paging channel, with the result that data communication and conversations are enabled via the traffic channel parallel to the paging channel.

当移动终端102接收PUSH消息时，它根据该PUSH消息启动应用。为了使用该应用进行数据通信，该移动终端经由PSDN 105通过业务信道与内容服务器101开始通信。When themobile terminal 102 receives a PUSH message, it launches an application according to the PUSH message. In order to use the application for data communication, the mobile terminal starts communicating with thecontent server 101 via the traffic channel via thePSDN 105.

图23是展示本发明第四实施例的充当移动通信终端的移动终端102的结构的方框图。图24A和图24B是展示本发明第四实施例的流程图。下面利用图23、图24A和24B说明第四实施例的结构和操作。FIG. 23 is a block diagram showing the structure of amobile terminal 102 serving as a mobile communication terminal according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. 24A and 24B are flowcharts showing a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The structure and operation of the fourth embodiment will be described below using Fig. 23, Figs. 24A and 24B.

首先，PUSH消息接收单元521接收来自SMS服务器104的PUSH消息(图24A中的步骤S501，此后将省略“步骤”措辞)。然后由PUSH消息分析单元522分析所接收的PUSH消息的内容(S502)，并且确定启动哪个应用。PUSH消息中含有标识应用的ID，并且在移动终端的应用信息累积单元523中预先存储拥有该ID和其关联的应用的应用信息。多个应用被存储在应用单元529中。First, the PUSHmessage receiving unit 521 receives a PUSH message from the SMS server 104 (step S501 in FIG. 24A, the wording "step" will be omitted hereafter). The content of the received PUSH message is then analyzed by the PUSH message analysis unit 522 (S502), and it is determined which application is launched. The PUSH message contains an ID identifying the application, and the application information of the application owning the ID and its associated application is pre-stored in the applicationinformation accumulating unit 523 of the mobile terminal. A plurality of applications are stored in theapplication unit 529 .

图25展示了应用信息的结构的一个实例。Fig. 25 shows an example of the structure of application information.

应用信息包括展示当收到PUSH消息时是否自动启动与PUSH消息关联的应用的信息，以及利用图23所示的网络访问单元524的应用是否将产生收费的信息。The application information includes information showing whether the application associated with the PUSH message is automatically started when the PUSH message is received, and whether the application using thenetwork access unit 524 shown in FIG. 23 will generate a charge.

在图23中，应用启动单元525检查是否可以利用应用信息自动启动已经决定启动的应用(S503)，如果没有设置自动启动，则不启动该应用。此时，如果已经做出了一个设置，以做出关于不自动启动应用的事实的通知，则通知单元526将该事实通知给用户。另一方面，如果已经设置了自动启动，则利用应用信息检查内容的使用是否将招致收费(S504)。如果将不招致收费，则启动应用(S505)。如果已经做出了通知设置，则通知用户该应用已经被启动。如果内容的使用将招致收费，则检查费用。In FIG. 23, theapplication starting unit 525 checks whether the application that has been decided to start can be automatically started by using the application information (S503), and if the automatic start is not set, the application is not started. At this time, if a setting has been made to make notification about the fact that the application is not automatically launched, thenotification unit 526 notifies the user of the fact. On the other hand, if automatic activation has been set, it is checked using the application information whether the use of the content will incur a charge (S504). If no charge will be incurred, the application is started (S505). If notification settings have been made, the user is notified that the application has been launched. Check the fee if usage of the content will incur a fee.

如果内容的使用将招致收费，应用启动单元525则确定当前累积的通信费用+启动该应用和访问网络将产生的费用的总额是否将超过用户预先设置的累积通信费用的上限值(S506)。如果该总额未超过上限，则启动该应用(S505)。如果该总额超过上限，则不启动该应用。此时，不管是否做出通知用户该自动启动没有发生的设置，或者是否做出不通知用户该自动启动没有发生的设置，通知单元526都做出一个对用户的通知。结果，使用户得知累积通信费用已经到达用于设置的累积通信费用的上限值，并且如果需要，用户能够使用操作装置(未示出)执行一个如提升上限的动作。If the use of the content will incur a charge, theapplication launching unit 525 determines whether the total of the current accumulated communication fee+the fee for starting the application and accessing the network will exceed the upper limit of the accumulated communication fee preset by the user (S506). If the total amount does not exceed the upper limit, start the application (S505). If the total exceeds the upper limit, the application is not launched. At this time, thenotification unit 526 makes a notification to the user regardless of whether a setting is made to notify the user that the automatic activation has not occurred, or whether a setting is made to not notify the user that the automatic activation has not occurred. As a result, the user is informed that the accumulated communication charge has reached the upper limit value for the set accumulated communication charge, and if necessary, the user can perform an action such as raising the upper limit using an operation device (not shown).

需要注意的是，通知单元526具有利用扬声器、LED、LCD和振动器等通过声音、屏幕显示、振动等进行通信的功能。It is to be noted that thenotification unit 526 has a function of communicating through sound, screen display, vibration, etc. using a speaker, LED, LCD, vibrator, and the like.

图24B是关于在应用启动时通知用户的流程图。FIG. 24B is a flow diagram related to notifying the user when the application is launched.

当启动应用时(S511)，检查是否为该应用设置一个通知(S512)。如果已经设置了一个通知，则通知用户该应用已经被启动(S513)。When an application is started (S511), it is checked whether a notification is set for the application (S512). If a notification has been set, the user is notified that the application has been started (S513).

图26展示了通知用户的条件与应用启动条件之间关系的矩阵。Fig. 26 shows a matrix of the relationship between the conditions for notifying the user and the conditions for launching the application.

当启动招致收费的矩阵以及实施数据通信或者收到一个业务时，由通信费用计算单元527计算费用，并且在累积费用信息累积单元528中累积通信费用信息。此外，更新累积的通信费用。如果按月额计算通信费用，则提供在每月底重置累积的费用的处理。When a matrix incurring a charge is activated and data communication is performed or a service is received, the charge is calculated by the communicationcharge calculation unit 527 and the communication charge information is accumulated in the accumulated chargeinformation accumulation unit 528 . Also, the accumulated communication fee is updated. If the communication fee is calculated on a monthly basis, a process of resetting the accumulated fee at the end of each month is provided.

在某些情况下，即使达到累积的通信费用的上限值，根据应用，用户也可以不考虑该费用并继续获取信息。为了对待这种情况，增加例如下述的应用信息的属性值的设置是可能的。例如，允许自动启动以及允许为每个应用进行网络访问的设置，或者根据用户的喜好为每个应用设置优先级以及由此控制接收间隔的设置。作为选择，还能够提供关于每个应用的累积通信费用的信息，并设置每个应用的上限值。图27是应用信息的一个扩展实例。In some cases, even if the upper limit value of the accumulated communication fee is reached, depending on the application, the user may continue to acquire information regardless of the fee. In order to deal with this situation, it is possible to increase the setting of the attribute value of the application information described below, for example. For example, settings that allow automatic startup and allow network access for each application, or settings that prioritize each application and thereby control the reception interval according to the user's preferences. Alternatively, it is also possible to provide information on accumulated communication charges for each application and set an upper limit value for each application. Fig. 27 is an example of extension of application information.

还可能做出这样一种设置，如果到达累积通信费用的上限值并且不执行自动启动，则SMS服务器104不发送后续的PUSH消息。特别是，向SMS服务器104发射暂停请求，并且当用户做出提升累积通信费用的上限值和重置累积通信费用之一时，向SMS服务器104发送重新开始传送的请求，并且允许SMS服务器104重新开始传送。It is also possible to make such a setting that theSMS server 104 does not send a subsequent PUSH message if the upper limit value of the accumulated communication fee is reached and automatic activation is not performed. Particularly, transmit suspension request toSMS server 104, and when the user makes one of raising the upper limit value of accumulative communication fee and reset accumulative communication fee, send the request of resuming transmission toSMS server 104, and allowSMS server 104 to restart. Start sending.

根据该实施例，即使做出一个设置以便不进行关于应用启动的通知，如果已经到达通信费用的上限值并且不启动该应用，则通过将该事实通知用户，能够区别该事实和没有自动启动的常规操作，并使用户得知已经到达通信费用的上限值。通过做出一个设置，以便由于用户的通信费用的上限的设置，使一个应用不会被PUSH消息的接收而启动，即使费率表是一个费用依赖收费系统，用户也能够保持低于固定费用的通信成本。不利用自动启动，可以控制资源消耗，从而降低电池的消耗。According to this embodiment, even if a setting is made so as not to perform notification about the application startup, if the upper limit value of the communication fee has been reached and the application is not started, by notifying the user of this fact, it is possible to distinguish the fact from the fact that there is no automatic startup normal operation, and let the user know that the upper limit of the communication fee has been reached. By making a setting so that an application is not started by reception of a PUSH message due to the setting of the upper limit of the user's communication fee, the user can keep below the fixed fee even if the rate table is a fee-dependent charging system Communication costs. By not utilizing autostart, resource consumption can be controlled, thereby reducing battery consumption.

(第五实施例)(fifth embodiment)

在本实施例中，当出现多个未处理的启动消息时，建立并显示对应于未处理的启动的应用列表，并且用户能够选择用户根据屏幕上显示的列表希望启动的应用。In this embodiment, when a plurality of unprocessed startup messages appear, a list of applications corresponding to unprocessed startups is created and displayed, and the user can select an application that the user wishes to start according to the list displayed on the screen.

图28是展示本发明第五实施例的移动终端的结构的方框图。FIG. 28 is a block diagram showing the structure of a mobile terminal of a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

在图28中，无线单元601经由无线链路与服务器一起实施数据的传输和接收。In FIG. 28, thewireless unit 601 implements data transmission and reception together with the server via a wireless link.

消息传送和接收单元602经由无线单元601与服务器和其它终端一起交换SMS消息。The message transmitting and receivingunit 602 exchanges SMS messages with the server and other terminals via thewireless unit 601 .

消息分析单元603分析所接收的SMS消息，并确定所接收的SMS消息是否为常规SMS消息或者是否为PUSH数据传递业务的应用启动消息。Themessage analysis unit 603 analyzes the received SMS message, and determines whether the received SMS message is a regular SMS message or an application initiation message of the PUSH data delivery service.

启动消息存储单元604临时存储应用启动消息。The startupmessage storage unit 604 temporarily stores the application startup message.

应用启动单元605根据应用启动消息启动应用。Theapplication starting unit 605 starts an application according to the application starting message.

被显示为应用A、B、C的应用程序606是用于PUSH数据传递业务的程序。Application programs 606, shown as application A, B, C, are programs for the PUSH data transfer service.

SMS消息应用607发射和接收常规SMS消息应用。此外，SMS消息应用607用来建立邮件和阅读邮件。SMS messaging application 607 transmits and receives conventional SMS messaging applications. In addition,SMS messaging application 607 is used to create and read emails.

显示单元608例如显示消息和各种类型的数据，并且还显示多个未处理的启动消息的列表(如下所述)。Thedisplay unit 608 displays, for example, messages and various types of data, and also displays a list of a plurality of unprocessed startup messages (described below).

除此之外，尽管图中未示出，但是在该结构中还包括构成常规移动电话功能的单元，例如，诸如键盘之类的操作单元、控制整个终端的控制单元、存储器等。In addition to this, although not shown in the drawings, units constituting the functions of a conventional mobile phone, for example, an operation unit such as a keypad, a control unit for controlling the entire terminal, a memory, and the like are also included in the structure.

下面利用图29中所示的流程图说明当接收SMS消息时的操作。The operation when receiving an SMS message will be described below using the flow chart shown in FIG. 29 .

消息被大致分成两类，即用于SMS的常规消息和启动PUSH传递业务的应用的消息。利用报头中包含的标识符，或者把指示应用启动消息的码嵌入消息数据的前面，然后再利用该码，可以执行消息的辨别。这里使用具有后者格式的应用启动消息进行说明。具体而言，指示应用启动消息的码被安置在多个字节(这里视为N个字节)中，这些字节之后是消息数据，其后是确定待启动的应用的代码(这里视为M个字节)，以及启动应用所需的参数数据。Messages are roughly divided into two categories, regular messages for SMS and messages for applications that initiate PUSH delivery services. Discrimination of the message can be performed using the identifier contained in the header, or embedding a code indicating the application start message in front of the message data and then using the code. Here, an application launch message having the latter format is used for illustration. Specifically, the code indicating the application start message is arranged in a plurality of bytes (herein regarded as N bytes), these bytes are followed by the message data, followed by the code for determining the application to be started (herein regarded as N bytes) M bytes), and the parameter data required to start the application.

从服务器发送的消息经由无线链路发送到移动通信终端。无线单元601接收该消息，并且如果它是SMS消息数据，则把它发送到消息传送和接收单元602(步骤S601-此后省略“步骤”措辞)。如果接收的数据是常规数据，则消息传送和接收单元602指令消息分析单元603分析所接收的数据(S602)。消息分析单元603确定该消息是否是来自消息数据的前N个字节的应用启动消息(S603)，并且，如果是应用启动消息，则把消息数据临时存储在启动小存储单元604中(S604)。随后通知应用启动单元605，已经存储了消息数据(605)。需要注意的是，假定启动消息存储单元604具有FIFO结构。如果在S603中确定该消息不是应用启动消息，则把消息数据传递到SMS消息应用607并启动该应用(S606)。Messages sent from the server are sent to the mobile communication terminal via the wireless link. Thewireless unit 601 receives the message, and if it is SMS message data, sends it to the message transmitting and receiving unit 602 (step S601 - the word "step" is omitted hereafter). If the received data is regular data, the message transmission andreception unit 602 instructs themessage analysis unit 603 to analyze the received data (S602). Themessage analysis unit 603 determines whether the message is an application startup message from the first N bytes of the message data (S603), and if it is an application startup message, the message data is temporarily stored in the startup small storage unit 604 (S604) . Theapplication launching unit 605 is then notified that the message data has been stored (605). It should be noted that it is assumed that the startmessage storage unit 604 has a FIFO structure. If it is determined in S603 that the message is not an application start message, the message data is passed to theSMS message application 607 and the application is started (S606).

然后结束接收处理(S607)。Then the receiving process is ended (S607).

下面利用图30所示的流程图说明基于存储的启动消息启动应用的操作。The operation of starting an application based on a stored start message will be described below using the flowchart shown in FIG. 30 .

当应用启动单元605从存储消息的消息分析单元603接收到通知时(S611)，它阅读启动消息存储单元604(S612)。然后检查未处理的应用启动消息是否出现(S613)，如果没有出现这种消息，则结束该处理。如果出现未处理的应用启动消息，则检查是否出现了多个这种消息(S614)。如果一个这种消息出现，则检查设置是否是使用户确认应用起动的设置(S615)。When theapplication activation unit 605 receives a notification from themessage analysis unit 603 storing the message (S611), it reads the activation message storage unit 604 (S612). Then it is checked whether an unprocessed application start message appears (S613), and if there is no such message, the process ends. If an unprocessed application start message occurs, it is checked whether a plurality of such messages have occurred (S614). If such a message appears, it is checked whether the setting is a setting for the user to confirm the application start (S615).

PUSH数据传递业务中记录的应用具有关于自动启动的设置。自动启动允许设置是，当收到应用启动消息时启动应用，然后发射和接收数据，并且不要求用户执行启动确认的设置。自动启动允许设置是用户设置的并且被应用起动单元605控制和引用(refer)。应用启动单元605引用自动启动允许设置，并且如果自动启动允许设置是ON，则执行来自应用A/B和C中的对应的应用，不等候用户的启动确认(S618)。The applications recorded in the PUSH data transfer service have settings regarding automatic startup. The auto-launch permission setting is a setting that starts an app when an app launch message is received, then transmits and receives data, and does not require the user to perform a launch confirmation. The automatic launch permission setting is set by the user and is controlled and referred by theapplication launch unit 605 . Theapplication launch unit 605 refers to the automatic launch permission setting, and if the automatic launch permission setting is ON, executes the corresponding application from among the applications A/B and C without waiting for the user's launch confirmation (S618).

然而，如果自动启动允许设置为OFF，则应用启动单元605在显示单元608上显示应用起动确认屏幕，并且等候用户的启动确认(S617)。如果选择了“启动”，则应用起动单元605执行相应的应用(S618)。然后由该应用执行与服务器的数据通信处理(S619)。当该结束该通信时，子程序返回到S613的处理，并且确认应用启动消息是否出现于启动消息存储单元604中。需要注意的是，当结束通信并释放通信资源时，应用启动单元605还可以从启动消息存储单元604中删除已处理的应用启动消息。However, if the automatic startup permission setting is OFF, theapplication startup unit 605 displays an application startup confirmation screen on thedisplay unit 608, and waits for a startup confirmation by the user (S617). If 'launch' is selected, theapplication launching unit 605 executes the corresponding application (S618). Data communication processing with the server is then performed by the application (S619). When it is time to end the communication, the subroutine returns to the processing of S613, and it is confirmed whether an application start message is present in the startmessage storage unit 604 or not. It should be noted that when the communication ends and the communication resources are released, theapplication initiation unit 605 may also delete the processed application initiation message from the initiationmessage storage unit 604 .

然而，在S617中选择了“取消”，则删除已选择的应用启动消息(S620)，并且子程序返回到S613的处理。However, if "Cancel" is selected in S617, the selected application start message is deleted (S620), and the subroutine returns to the process of S613.

在上述S614中，如果多个未处理的应用起动消息出现，则应用启动单元605建立并显示其列表(S621)。此时，在应用启动确认屏幕上的列表中显示与所有未处理应用起动相对应的业务名称和应用名称。作为该显示的结果，用户能够立刻知道收到了哪个启动消息。In the above-mentioned S614, if a plurality of unprocessed application launch messages appear, theapplication launch unit 605 builds and displays a list thereof (S621). At this time, business names and application names corresponding to all unprocessed application launches are displayed in a list on the application launch confirmation screen. As a result of this display, the user can immediately know which activation message has been received.

图31展示了显示单元608显示的启动确认屏幕上的列表的实例。FIG. 31 shows an example of a list on the start confirmation screen displayed by thedisplay unit 608. Referring to FIG.

为每个应用启动消息显示接收时间和业务名或者应用名，并且按照最早接收时间的顺序安排该接收时间和业务名或者应用名。如果单屏幕上不能包含所有消息，则通过滚动观看所有消息。对应于软键的命令被显示在屏幕之下，并且通过按压对应的软键能够启动或者取消已选择的应用。The reception time and business name or application name are displayed for each application start message, and the reception time and business name or application name are arranged in order of earliest reception time. View all messages by scrolling if they cannot be contained on a single screen. The commands corresponding to the softkeys are displayed below the screen, and the selected application can be activated or canceled by pressing the corresponding softkey.

接着，当用户从图31所示的启动确认屏幕选择一个应用(S622)时，显示应用启动确认屏幕，并且等待用户的启动确认(S623)。如果选择了“启动”，则运行相应的应用(S618)。然后子程序返回到S613的处理。Next, when the user selects an application from the launch confirmation screen shown in FIG. 31 (S622), the application launch confirmation screen is displayed, and the user's launch confirmation is waited (S623). If "Start" is selected, the corresponding application is run (S618). Then the subroutine returns to the processing of S613.

一旦已经处理了一个应用起动消息，则确认未处理应用启动消息是否出现在启动消息存储单元604中(S613)。如果出现了未处理消息，应用启动单元605结束该处理并准备下一个消息接收。Once an application start message has been processed, it is confirmed whether an unprocessed application start message is present in the start message storage unit 604 (S613). If an unprocessed message occurs, theapplication starting unit 605 ends the processing and prepares for the next message reception.

根据本实施例的移动通信终端，如果同时或者基本上同时收到多个应用启动消息，则能够在列表中显示正在接收哪个消息，从而能够使用户决定启动(即，处理)应用的顺序。结果，用户能够从用户分配最高优先级的消息开始进行处理，从而能够实现极方便地提供给用户的PUSH数据传递业务。According to the mobile communication terminal of this embodiment, if a plurality of application start messages are received at the same time or substantially at the same time, which message is being received can be displayed in a list, thereby enabling the user to decide the order in which applications are started (ie, processed). As a result, the user can start processing from the message to which the user assigns the highest priority, so that the PUSH data delivery service provided to the user extremely conveniently can be realized.

需要注意的是，该实施例还可以利用，可以为PUSH数据传递业务中记录的应用设定优先级和自动启动允许设置的结构。优先级既可以是两段的，如高或常规，也可以使三段的，如高、中、低。It should be noted that this embodiment can also utilize a structure that can set priorities and allow automatic startup settings for applications recorded in the PUSH data transfer service. Priority can be two-tiered, such as high or regular, or three-tiered, like high, medium, or low.

在此情况下，应用启动单元605引用建立启动应用的列表时的优先级信息的等级，并且进行操作以便在列表的顶部显示具有优先级高等级的应用。In this case, theapplication launching unit 605 refers to the rank of the priority information at the time of building the list of launched applications, and operates to display applications having a high rank of priority at the top of the list.

其原因是为了避免诸如以下的问题。例如，如果同时或者基本上同时收到大量应用启动消息，造成这些消息不能在启动确认屏幕的单屏幕上显示时，具有优先级高等级的通知，例如，依据安全观点是极其重要的通知如犯罪预防系统中故障的通知也许被埋藏在其它通知中，并且可能不被用户注意到。The reason for this is to avoid problems such as the following. For example, if a large number of application launch messages are received at the same time or substantially at the same time, so that these messages cannot be displayed on a single screen of the launch confirmation screen, notifications with a high priority level, such as notifications that are extremely important from a security point of view, such as criminal Notifications to prevent failures in the system may be buried among other notifications and may not be noticed by the user.

通过利用上述结构，即使多个应用起动消息被同时或者基本上同时接收，用户也能够快速访问用户分配高优先级的信息，从而进一步增加了用户的便利性。By utilizing the above structure, even if a plurality of application launch messages are received at the same time or substantially at the same time, the user can quickly access information to which the user assigns a high priority, thereby further increasing the user's convenience.

需要注意的是，在本实施例中，如果没有来自用户的引用已显示的应用列表的启动指令，则根据这些应用在列表上的顺序处理允许自动启动的应用。此外，优先级等级还可以被用作自动启动的顺序。It should be noted that, in this embodiment, if there is no launch instruction from the user referring to the displayed application list, the applications that are allowed to be automatically launched are processed according to the order of these applications on the list. In addition, priority levels can also be used as an autostart sequence.

(第六实施例)(sixth embodiment)

在本实施例中，当用户周期地按压并释放操作按键以便玩游戏或者建立电子邮件时，测量当释放按键直至再按压该按键之间经过的时间。当进行一个输入信号已经到达的通知时，如果输入信号到达之前的经过时间低于阈值，则确定正在玩游戏或者正在建立电子邮件，并且不显示关于输入信号的到达的通知。In this embodiment, when the user periodically presses and releases an operation key to play a game or create an e-mail, the time elapsed between when the key is released and the key is pressed again is measured. When a notification that an input signal has arrived is made, if the elapsed time before the arrival of the input signal is lower than the threshold, it is determined that a game is being played or an e-mail is being established, and the notification about the arrival of the input signal is not displayed.

图32是表示作为本发明第六实施例的移动通信终端的实例的移动电话的结构的方框图。FIG. 32 is a block diagram showing the structure of a mobile phone as an example of a mobile communication terminal according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention.

在图32中，无线装置701是实现移动电话功能的装置，并且被形成模块。OS 703经由无线装置驱动器702与无线装置701交换信息。此外，OS 703被链接到显示驱动器707和按键驱动器710，并且控制诸如液晶显示器的显示单元708和按键驱动器709。OS 703还设有绘图应用程序接口(API)706，并且控制一个应用在显示单元708上的信息显示。In FIG. 32, awireless device 701 is a device that realizes the function of a mobile phone, and is formed into a module.OS 703 exchanges information withwireless device 701 viawireless device driver 702. Furthermore, theOS 703 is linked to adisplay driver 707 and a key driver 710, and controls adisplay unit 708 such as a liquid crystal display and akey driver 709. TheOS 703 is also provided with a graphics application program interface (API) 706, and controls information display on adisplay unit 708 by an application.

如果应用位于屏幕的前台，则该应用从OS 703接收按键事件的通知，并接收用户在按键装置709上操作一个操作按键的通知。当输入信号已经到达时，第一应用705出现在屏幕上，并且把该到达通知给用户。此时，如果还得知主叫用户号码，则显示呼叫用户号码并发出铃声。第二应用712是用户启动的游戏。If the application is in the foreground of the screen, the application receives a notification of a button event from theOS 703, and receives a notification that the user operates an operation button on thebutton device 709. When the input signal has arrived, thefirst application 705 appears on the screen and notifies the user of the arrival. At this time, if the number of the calling party is also known, the number of the calling party is displayed and a ring tone is issued. Thesecond application 712 is a user-initiated game.

这里，假定第二应用712已经被启动，以便用户在等候输入信号到达的同时玩游戏。用户以快速节奏在按键装置709上重复它的操作键。该按键事件经由按键装置710通知给第二应用712、按键监视单元711和OS703。按键通知单元711设有测量时间的计数器，并利用具有预定频率的时钟取定该计数器。Here, it is assumed that thesecond application 712 has been launched so that the user plays a game while waiting for an input signal to arrive. The user repeats its operation keys on thekey device 709 in a rapid rhythm. The key event is notified to thesecond application 712 , the key monitoring unit 711 and theOS 703 via the key device 710 . The key notification unit 711 is provided with a counter for measuring time, and uses a clock with a predetermined frequency to determine the counter.

图33展示了按键监视单元711的处理流程。FIG. 33 shows the processing flow of the key monitoring unit 711.

在初始化(步骤S721-此后省略“步骤”措辞)后，当按键驱动器710通知已经按压了一个操作键(S722)时，停止计数器的计数并把计数器复位至零(S723)。当按键驱动器710进一步通知已经释放了操作键(S724)时，启动该计算器(S725)。After initialization (step S721—the word "step" is omitted hereafter), when the key driver 710 notifies that an operation key has been pressed (S722), counting of the counter is stopped and the counter is reset to zero (S723). When the key driver 710 further notifies that the operation key has been released (S724), the calculator is started (S725).

在正在重复按压和释放操作键的同时，如果OS 703收到关于自操作键释放时起的经过时间，则读出和通知计数器的值。所以，在按压操作键的同时，读取得计数器值总是为零。While the operation key is being repeatedly pressed and released, if theOS 703 receives information about the elapsed time since the operation key was released, the value of the counter is read and notified. Therefore, while pressing the operation key, the counter value read is always zero.

接着，将假定输入信号在运行第二应用712的同时到达。无线装置701检测输入信号的到达并产生一个中断。无线装置驱动器702检测该中断，并且OS 703启动输入信道到达响应处理模块704的操作。输入信号到达响应处理模块704确定到达的输入信号是电话呼叫、短消息还是电子邮件，并且确定诸如移动电话当前是否处于方式模式的各种其它条件，或者确定是否已经做出了拒绝输入信号到达的一个设置，并启动合适的第一应用705。Next, it will be assumed that the input signal arrives while thesecond application 712 is running. Theradio 701 detects the arrival of an incoming signal and generates an interrupt. Thewireless device driver 702 detects the interrupt, and theOS 703 initiates the operation of the input channel arrivalresponse processing module 704. The input signal arrivalresponse processing module 704 determines whether the incoming input signal is a phone call, short message or e-mail, and determines various other conditions such as whether the mobile phone is currently in mode mode, or whether a decision to reject the incoming signal arrival has been made One is set and the appropriate first application is launched 705 .

第一应用705试图获取利用绘图API 706在显示单元708上绘图的授权。OS 703检测已经做出绘图授权的请求以作为输入信号到达的结果，并且进行关于从操作键的释放开始的经过时间的对按键监视单元711的查询。作为答复，按键监视单元711向OS 703发送计数器的值。如果经过的时间等于或大于预定阈值，例如一秒，则OS 703立即接收来自第一应用705的请求。结果，输入信号到达的显示通知被描绘在显示单元708的屏幕上。Thefirst application 705 attempts to obtain authorization to draw on thedisplay unit 708 using thedrawing API 706. TheOS 703 detects that a request for drawing authorization has been made as a result of the arrival of an input signal, and makes an inquiry to the key monitoring unit 711 regarding the elapsed time from the release of the operation key. In reply, the key monitoring unit 711 sends the value of the counter to theOS 703. If the elapsed time is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, such as one second, theOS 703 immediately receives the request from thefirst application 705. As a result, a display notification of the arrival of the input signal is drawn on the screen of thedisplay unit 708 .

然而，如果计数器值小于预定阈值，则确定用户正在玩游戏，并且不发送对绘图授权的请求的答复，它决定暂时不显示输入信号到达通信。此时，OS 703利用经过的时间小于阈值来启动用于该时段的计数器，并且在超时事件中，进行关于自操作键释放开始的经过时间的对按键监视单元711的新查询。结果，在用户正在继续游戏并且正在重复敲击操作键的时间期间，能够在不是自操作键的释放开始的经过时间高于该阈值的长时段，删除输入信号到达的通知。如果用户的操作键的操作停止，则输入信号到达通知做出一个中断并显示在屏幕上。然而，此时由于用户继续操作的愿望已经结束，因此用户不会做出错误操作。此外，它还能减少当执行与用户操作愿望相反的操作(即，中断屏幕显示)时引发的烦恼的感觉或吃惊的程度。However, if the counter value is less than a predetermined threshold, it is determined that the user is playing a game, and instead of sending a reply to the request for drawing authorization, it decides not to display the incoming signal arrival communication for the time being. At this time, theOS 703 starts a counter for the period with the elapsed time being less than the threshold value, and in the event of a timeout, makes a new inquiry to the key monitoring unit 711 regarding the elapsed time since the release of the operation key. As a result, during a time when the user is continuing the game and repeatedly tapping the operation key, the notification of the arrival of the input signal can be deleted for a long period other than the elapsed time from the release of the operation key being higher than the threshold. If the user's operation of the operation key stops, the input signal arrival notification makes an interruption and is displayed on the screen. However, at this time, since the user's desire to continue the operation has ended, the user does not make an erroneous operation. In addition, it can also reduce the degree of annoyance or surprise caused when performing an operation contrary to the user's operation desire (ie, interrupting the screen display).

在该实施例中，第一应用705是用来告知输入信号到达的应用，然而，它也可以是执行其它类型处理的应用。也就是说，如果短消息到达，则输入信号到达响应处理模块704能够根据短消息内包含的标识符，启动如第一应用705的相关应用。该类型短消息业务(SMS)的实例包括由SMS告知中心的电子邮件的到达的应用，响应SMS消息的到达启动邮件应用，以及进行该邮件应用以从中心接收邮件。可选的实例包括与特定内容提供商订立合同的应用，并且通过SMS消息告知用户关于新合同的开始，允许用户立即启动该业务。In this embodiment, thefirst application 705 is an application for notifying the arrival of an input signal, however, it may also be an application for performing other types of processing. That is to say, if the short message arrives, the input signal arrivalresponse processing module 704 can start a related application such as thefirst application 705 according to the identifier contained in the short message. Examples of this type of Short Message Service (SMS) include applications that are notified by SMS of the arrival of electronic mail at the center, launching a mail application in response to the arrival of the SMS message, and conducting the mail application to receive mail from the center. An optional example includes an application that enters into a contract with a particular content provider, and informs the user of the start of the new contract via SMS message, allowing the user to start the service immediately.

图34是展示通过SMS消息到达指令应用启动时的处理的流程图。FIG. 34 is a flow chart showing the process when an SMS message arrives to instruct application startup.

当SMS消息到达(S731)时，分析该消息中包含的标识符(S732)，并且启动对应于该标识符的应用(S733)，并且该应用调用绘图API 706(S734)。此时，检查计数器值是否等于或者大于阈值(S735)，如果计数器值等于或者大于阈值，则实施绘图处理(S736)。如果计数器值小于阈值，则在计数器值已经到达阈值之后执行绘图(S737)。When an SMS message arrives (S731), an identifier contained in the message is analyzed (S732), and an application corresponding to the identifier is started (S733), and the application calls the drawing API 706 (S734). At this time, it is checked whether the counter value is equal to or greater than the threshold (S735), and if the counter value is equal to or greater than the threshold, drawing processing is performed (S736). If the counter value is smaller than the threshold, drawing is performed after the counter value has reached the threshold (S737).

第一应用705的实例包括向显示单元708请求绘图授权的应用，以及在后台中执行处理的应用。如果应用请求绘图授权，则不论应用的类型如何，都能够实现本发明的效果。此外，在本实施例中，由于OS 703延迟了绘图授权的请求，因此当出现OS 703自己显示对用户的通知之需要时，可以按第一应用705的相同方式，获得本实施例的效果。例如，如果试图启动第一应用705，但是由于不充足的资源，例如存储器，而不能启动该应用，则输入信号到达响应处理模块704可以显示差错消息。Examples of thefirst application 705 include applications that request drawing authorization to thedisplay unit 708, and applications that execute processing in the background. If an application requests drawing authorization, the effects of the present invention can be achieved regardless of the type of application. In addition, in this embodiment, since theOS 703 delays the drawing authorization request, when theOS 703 needs to display a notification to the user by itself, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained in the same manner as thefirst application 705. For example, if an attempt is made to launch thefirst application 705, but the application cannot be launched due to insufficient resources, such as memory, the input signal arrivalresponse processing module 704 may display an error message.

(第七实施例)(seventh embodiment)

在本实施例中，监视单元监视在字符输入操作期间是否显示复原字符，并且当显示关于输入信号到达的通知时，对监视单元查询复原字符是否正在被显示。如果该查询的答复是正在显示复原字符，则禁止该通知的显示。In the present embodiment, the monitoring unit monitors whether a restored character is displayed during a character input operation, and when a notification about the arrival of an input signal is displayed, inquires of the monitoring unit whether the restored character is being displayed. If the answer to the query is that restoration characters are being displayed, the display of the notification is suppressed.

图35是用作本发明移动通信终端的第七实施例的移动电话的实例的方框图。Fig. 35 is a block diagram of an example of a mobile phone used as the seventh embodiment of the mobile communication terminal of the present invention.

需要注意的是，在本实施例中，图35所示的按键装置809具有图40所示的按键布局，并且根据执行图41所示的屏幕转换的过程实施字符串输入操作。It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the key device 809 shown in FIG. 35 has the key layout shown in FIG. 40 , and implements the character string input operation according to the process of executing the screen conversion shown in FIG. 41 .

在图35中，无线装置801是实现移动电话终端的功能的装置，并且被形成模块。OS 803经由无线装置驱动器802与无线装置801交换信息。此外，OS 803被链接到显示驱动器807和按键驱动器810，并控制诸如液晶显示器的显示单元808和按键驱动器809。OS 803还设有绘图API 806，并且控制第一应用805和第二应用812在诸如液晶显示器的显示单元808上的信息显示。In FIG. 35 , a wireless device 801 is a device that realizes the functions of a mobile phone terminal, and is formed into a module. The OS 803 exchanges information with the wireless device 801 via the wireless device driver 802. Furthermore, the OS 803 is linked to a display driver 807 and a key driver 810, and controls a display unit 808 such as a liquid crystal display and a key driver 809. The OS 803 is also provided with a drawing API 806, and controls information display of the first application 805 and the second application 812 on a display unit 808 such as a liquid crystal display.

如果一个应用位于屏幕的前台，则该应用接收来自OS 803的按键事件的通知，并接收用户已经操作按键装置809的通知。当输入信号已经到达时，第一应用805出现在屏幕上，并且把该到达通知给用户。此时，如果还得知主叫用户号码，则显示该主叫用户号码并且发出输入信号到达声音。第二应用812是用户启动的字符输入应用。If an application is in the foreground of the screen, the application receives a notification of a key event from the OS 803, and receives a notification that the user has operated the key device 809. When the input signal has arrived, the first application 805 appears on the screen and notifies the user of the arrival. At this time, if the calling party number is also known, the calling party number is displayed and an incoming signal arrival sound is emitted. The second application 812 is a character input application initiated by the user.

这里假定第二应用812已经按照用户在等待输入信号到达的同时输入文本的顺序启动。当在屏幕上显示第二英勇812时，显示编辑箱813。编辑箱813是属于OS 803地公共部件，并且接收来自用户的字符。当用户选择编辑箱813时，一个按键事件被传递到编辑箱813。编辑箱813还链接到输入支持单元814，它根据该按键事件搜索候选字符串，并输入到编辑箱813。此后，在本实施例中，使用作为实例的诸多字符进行说明。It is assumed here that the second application 812 has been launched in the order in which the user entered text while waiting for the input signal to arrive. When the second hero 812 is displayed on the screen, an edit box 813 is displayed. The edit box 813 is a common part belonging to the OS 803, and receives characters from the user. When the user selects the edit box 813, a key event is passed to the edit box 813. The edit box 813 is also linked to the input support unit 814 , which searches for a candidate character string according to the key event and inputs it to the edit box 813 . Hereinafter, in this embodiment, explanations are made using various characters as examples.

例如，如果用户使用按键输入“41281”，则编辑箱813在屏幕上显示“41281”。接着，当用户按压转换键902时，编辑箱813将该按键事件通知给输入支持单元814。输入支持单元814搜索候选者，然后用于“TOUKIYOU”的片假名字母字符串并供应到编辑箱813。编辑箱813利用绘图API806在屏幕上显示用于“TOUKIYOU”的片假名字母字符串。此时，编辑箱813在监视单元815中登记编辑箱813自己处于前台并且正在显示复原字符串的事实。For example, if the user inputs "41281" using keys, the edit box 813 displays "41281" on the screen. Next, when the user presses theconversion key 902 , the edit box 813 notifies the input support unit 814 of the key event. The input support unit 814 searches for candidates, and then the katakana letter string for “TOUKIYOU” is supplied to the edit box 813 . The edit box 813 displays a character string of katakana letters for "TOUKIYOU" on the screen using the drawing API 806 . At this time, the edit box 813 registers in the monitoring unit 815 the fact that the edit box 813 itself is in the foreground and is displaying the restored character string.

当用户按压设置键903时，该按键事件被传递到编辑箱813并告知输入支持单元814。编辑箱813随后存储设定的字符串并且还删除监视单元815中关于正在显示字符串候选者的事实的登记。此外，当按键焦点(光标)移到编辑箱813之外时，强制地设定复原字符串，并且把删除的通知传递到监视单元815。此外，由于如果第一应用812出现在后台侧按键焦点也移动到编辑箱813之外，因此把相同类型的删除通知传递到监视单元815。When the user presses the settingkey 903 , the key event is passed to the edit box 813 and notified to the input support unit 814 . The edit box 813 then stores the set character string and also deletes the registration in the monitoring unit 815 of the fact that character string candidates are being displayed. Furthermore, when the key focus (cursor) is moved out of the edit box 813 , a restoration character string is forcibly set, and a notification of deletion is delivered to the monitoring unit 815 . In addition, since the side key focus also moves out of the edit box 813 if the first application 812 appears in the background, the same type of deletion notification is delivered to the monitoring unit 815 .

结果，即使起动了用于执行字符串输入的多个应用，以及编辑箱813和输入支持单元814的多个事例被出现，由于信息被收集在监视单元815中，因此能够精确地确定字符串候选者目前是否被显示在屏幕上。As a result, even if a plurality of applications for performing character string input are started, and a plurality of instances of the edit box 813 and the input support unit 814 are present, since information is collected in the monitoring unit 815, it is possible to accurately determine character string candidates or is currently displayed on the screen.

还将假定在第一应用812的编辑箱813仍然在显示单元808上显示复原字符串的同时，输入信号到达。无线装置801检测输入信号的到达并且产生一个中断。无线装置驱动器802检测该中断，以及OS 803使输入信号到达响应处理单元804执行输入信号到达响应处理。输入信号到达响应处理单元804识别已到达的输入信号是电话呼叫、短消息还是电子邮件，并确定诸如移动电话目前是否处于方式模式的各种其它条件，或者确定是否做出了一个拒绝输入信号到达的设置，并启动合适的第一应用805以给予输入信号到达的通知。It will also be assumed that the input signal arrives while the edit box 813 of the first application 812 is still displaying the restored character string on the display unit 808 . The radio 801 detects the arrival of an incoming signal and generates an interrupt. The wireless device driver 802 detects the interrupt, and the OS 803 causes the input signal arrival response processing unit 804 to perform input signal arrival response processing. The input signal arrival response processing unit 804 identifies whether the incoming input signal is a phone call, short message or e-mail, and determines various other conditions such as whether the mobile phone is currently in the mode mode, or determines whether a rejection of the input signal arrival is made. settings, and launch the appropriate first application 805 to give notification of incoming signal arrival.

第一应用805试图获取使用绘图API 806在显示单元808上绘图的授权。OS 803检测作为输入信号到达的结果已经做出绘图授权的请求，并且指令监视单元815确定是否正在显示复原字符串。如果监视单元815答复目前未显示复原字符串，则OS 803立即接受来自第一应用805的请求，并在显示单元808的屏幕上绘出输入信号到达的显示通知。The first application 805 attempts to obtain authorization to draw on the display unit 808 using the drawing API 806. The OS 803 detects that a request for drawing authorization has been made as a result of the arrival of the input signal, and the instruction monitoring unit 815 determines whether a restored character string is being displayed. If the monitoring unit 815 replies that the recovery character string is not currently displayed, the OS 803 immediately accepts the request from the first application 805, and draws a display notification of the arrival of the input signal on the screen of the display unit 808.

然而，如果监视单元815答复目前正在显示一个复原字符串，而没有发送对绘图授权请求的响应，则决定暂时不显示输入信号到达通知。此时，为了将一个输入信号已经达到通知给用户，它能够利用通知装置(未示出)执行通知操作，比如使LED闪烁、发出预定通知音调、或者启动振动。However, if the monitoring unit 815 replies that a recovery character string is currently being displayed without sending a response to the drawing authorization request, it is decided not to display the input signal arrival notification temporarily. At this time, in order to notify the user that an input signal has arrived, it can perform a notification operation such as blinking an LED, emitting a predetermined notification tone, or activating vibration using a notification device (not shown).

当用户按压指令设定字符串的设定按键903时，监视单元815对来自OS 803的查询答复，目前未显示复原字符串。结果，OS 803在预定时间间隔启动定时器，并且开始查询监视单元815。当监视单元815答复目前未显示复原字符串时，对第一应用805的请求分配资源，并且给予在显示单元808上绘图的授权。When the user presses thesetting button 903 of the instruction setting character string, the monitoring unit 815 replies to the inquiry from the OS 803, and the restored character string is not displayed at present. As a result, the OS 803 starts a timer at predetermined time intervals, and starts polling the monitoring unit 815. When the monitoring unit 815 replies that the restored character string is not currently displayed, resources are allocated to the request of the first application 805 and authorization to draw on the display unit 808 is given.

作为选择，在从输入信号到达通知的显示禁止开始经过一个预定事件之后，再显示该通知也是可能的。Alternatively, it is also possible to display the notification after a predetermined event has elapsed from the display inhibition of the input signal arrival notification.

(第八实施例)(eighth embodiment)

在第八实施例中，第一应用805通知输入信号的到达。相比之下，在本实施例中，第一应用将是执行特定处理的若干应用。即，当指令应用起动的短消息到达时，输入信号到达响应处理单元804确定短消息内包含的标识符，并选择与该标识符关联的应用，并启动作为第一应用805的该应用。In the eighth embodiment, the first application 805 notifies the arrival of an input signal. In contrast, in this embodiment, the first applications will be several applications that perform specific processing. That is, when a short message instructing application startup arrives, the input signal arrival response processing unit 804 determines the identifier contained in the short message, selects an application associated with the identifier, and starts the application as the first application 805 .

这一类型的短消息业务(SMS)的实例包括由SMS消息通知中心的电子邮件到达的应用，有线应用响应SMS消息到达而启动，并且该邮件应用使得接收来自中心的邮件。可选的实例包括与特定内容提供商订立合同的应用，并且通过用SMS消息告知用户新内容业务的开始，允许用户立即启动该业务。第一应用805的实例包括向显示单元808请求绘图授权的应用以及在后台执行处理的应用。Examples of this type of Short Message Service (SMS) include an application that is notified by an SMS message of the arrival of email from a center, a wireline application that is launched in response to the arrival of an SMS message, and the mail application that enables the receipt of mail from the center. An optional example includes an application that contracts with a specific content provider and allows the user to immediately start a new content service by informing the user of the start of the service with an SMS message. Examples of the first application 805 include applications that request drawing authorization to the display unit 808 and applications that perform processing in the background.

如果应用能够在显示单元808上做出一个显示，则不论应用类型如何，都能够实现本发明的效果。If the application can make a display on the display unit 808, the effect of the present invention can be achieved regardless of the application type.

图36是展示本发明第八实施例的操作的流程图。Fig. 36 is a flowchart showing the operation of the eighth embodiment of the present invention.

当SMS消息到达(步骤S831-此后省略“步骤”措辞)时，分析该消息内包含的标识符(S832)。然后选择对应于该标识符的应用，并作为第一应用启动该应用(S833)。第一应用805然后调用绘图API 806(S834)。When an SMS message arrives (step S831 - the word "step" is omitted hereafter), the identifier contained within the message is analyzed (S832). The application corresponding to the identifier is then selected and started as the first application (S833). The first application 805 then calls the drawing API 806 (S834).

此时，向监视单元815查询显示单元808上是否正在显示复原字符串(S835)。如果目前未显示该字符串，则实施绘图处理(S835)。如果正在显示复原字符串，则禁止绘图处理(S837)，并且在预定时间之后(作为选择，在已经设定字符串之后)，进行关于通知的绘图(S838)。At this time, the monitoring unit 815 is inquired whether the restored character string is being displayed on the display unit 808 (S835). If the character string is not currently displayed, drawing processing is performed (S835). If the restored character string is being displayed, drawing processing is prohibited (S837), and after a predetermined time (alternatively, after the character string has been set), drawing on the notification is performed (S838).

需要注意的是，在第七和第八实施例中，由于OS 803延迟了绘图授权的请求，因此当出现OS 803自己显示对用户通知之需要时，可以以第一应用805相同的方式，获得本实施例的效果，例如，如果试图启动第一应用805，但是由于诸如存储器的不充足资源的原因不能启动该应用时，则输入信道到达响应处理单元804可以显示一个差错消息。It should be noted that, in the seventh and eighth embodiments, since the OS 803 delays the drawing authorization request, when the OS 803 needs to display the user notification by itself, it can obtain the same method as the first application 805. Effects of this embodiment, for example, if an attempt is made to start the first application 805 but the application cannot be started due to insufficient resources such as memory, the input channel arrival response processing unit 804 can display an error message.

根据本实施例，由于在字符串输入操作期间复原字符串(例如，图41中的状态911至917之任何一个显示的字符串)正在被显示在显示单元808上时，因此可以获得不中断输入信号到达通知，并在用户执行设置操作之前显示该通知的效果。结果，在结束电话通话之后，屏幕返回到原始字符输入屏幕，并且能够从下一个字符输入再次开始启动，并且不会浪费字符串输入操作中途前已经执行的工作。此外，还能够提供使用舒适的移动电话，如果用户输入操作的注意力被打断，该移动电话不会造成可能出现的任何烦恼的感觉。According to this embodiment, since a restored character string (for example, a character string displayed in any one of states 911 to 917 in FIG. 41 ) is being displayed on the display unit 808 during a character string input operation, an uninterrupted input can be obtained. The signal arrives at the notification, and the effect of that notification is shown before the user performs the set action. As a result, after the telephone call is ended, the screen returns to the original character input screen, and it is possible to start again from the next character input without wasting the work already performed halfway through the character string input operation. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a mobile phone that is comfortable to use without causing any annoying feeling that may arise if the user's concentration on input operations is interrupted.
