(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a mobile terminal device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The mobile terminal device 10 is mounted with a sensor unit 11 such as an acceleration sensor, and has a function of detecting acceleration (or vibration frequency) given to the housing. Further, the mobile terminal device 10 has a function of receiving an e-mail (hereinafter, an e-mail with an unsealing condition) in which an unsealing condition is specified for unsealing the e-mail text.

  The opening condition-added mail is created by the terminal on the mail transmission side, and a condition including parameters that can be detected by the sensor unit 11 is designated as the opening condition of the e-mail body. The parameters that can be detected by the sensor unit 11 include, for example, the number of steps calculated from the acceleration or vibration number given to the housing, the walking distance calculated from the number of steps, and the calorie consumption calculated from the number of steps or the walking distance. Is mentioned.

  In addition to the sensor unit 11, the mobile terminal device 10 includes a control unit 12, a radio unit 13, an antenna 14, a signal processing unit 15, a speaker 16, a microphone 17, a voice processing unit 18, and mail management. A storage unit 20 including an area 19, a display unit 21, and various keys 22 are provided. The mobile terminal device 10 includes a computer controlled by a program and hardware controlled by the computer.

  The wireless unit 13 performs wireless communication between the built-in antenna 14 and the nearest base station. The signal processing unit 15 processes transmission / reception signals. The speaker 16 outputs sound. The microphone 17 acquires sound. The audio processing unit 18 processes various audio signals, and performs, for example, processing of a received voice signal supplied to the speaker 16 and processing of an audio signal input from the microphone 17.

  The opening condition is stored in the mail management area 19 of the storage unit 20. The storage unit 20 stores programs, phone book data, and the like. The display unit 21 displays, for example, information such as various characters and images, and particularly displays an e-mail text that is opened when the opening condition is satisfied. The various keys 22 are arranged on the surface of the housing and include operation keys, numeric keys, and the like. The control unit 12 controls these units of the mobile terminal device 10.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, processing when the mail transmitting terminal creates a mail with an opening condition will be described. When starting the mail transmission process, the terminal on the mail transmission side first creates an e-mail with the destination, e-mail text, and attached data attached (step S11). The destination of the e-mail in step S11 is the mobile terminal device 10. Next, the terminal on the mail transmission side designates the number of steps, walking distance, calorie consumption, etc. as parameters of the opening condition during or after completion of the mail generation in step S11, and attaches the opening condition to the e-mail. (Step S12).

  Subsequently, the terminal on the mail transmission side transmits an unsealed mail with an unsealing condition (step S13), and ends the process. In step S13, when sending an e-mail with an unsealing condition, it may be specified whether the unsealing condition is displayed or not displayed on the mobile terminal device 10 on the mail receiving side. In addition, the opening condition attached to the body of the email in step S12 and the display or non-display designation of the opening condition in step S13 are included in the format included in the data area of the email or in a format independent of the mail data. Any of these may be used, and the data is transmitted to the mail server in these formats.

  Note that in step S12 or S13, in addition to the e-mail text, attached data including a notice for opening conditions may be attached to the opening condition-added mail. No opening condition is specified for the attached data. For this reason, in the portable terminal device 10, the parameter of the opening condition is grasped by the user by receiving the mail with the opening condition and opening the attached data.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the operation of the mobile terminal device 10 on the receiving side of the mail with the opening condition will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing when an e-mail with opening condition is received. First, the control unit 12 starts mail reception processing (step S21), and determines whether the type of the received mail is a mail with an opening condition or another mail (step S22). If the control unit 12 determines that the mail received in step S22 is not an opening condition-added mail (N), the control unit 12 notifies the user of the existing mail reception (step S23), and ends the reception process.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 12 determines that the mail received in step S22 is a mail with opening condition (Y), the control unit 12 notifies the user of the reception of the mail with opening condition (step S24). Subsequently, the control unit 12 confirms whether or not the determination process for determining the opening condition of the mail with the opening condition has already been started (step S25).

  In step S25, if the opening condition for another mail with opening condition is already being determined (Y), the process is terminated, and if the opening condition determination process is not started (N), the opening condition is Is started (step S26). Here, the control unit 12 stores the opening condition attached to the opening condition-added mail in the mail management area 19 of the storage unit 20.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the unsealing condition determination process in step S26. First, the control unit 12 reads the opening condition of the mail with the opening condition from the mail management area 19 of the storage unit 20, and acquires the parameters included in the opening condition, that is, the number of steps, the walking distance, the calorie consumption, etc. (step) S31). Furthermore, in step S31, the control unit 12 obtains calculated values of parameters such as the number of steps, walking distance, and calorie consumption based on sensor information such as acceleration and vibration frequency obtained from the sensor unit 11. Hereinafter, the process of step S31 is referred to as an opening condition parameter calculation process.

  Subsequently, the control unit 12 compares the parameter acquired by reading the unsealing condition with the calculated value of the parameter calculated based on the sensor information, and whether or not they match, that is, the calculated value of the parameter is It is determined whether or not the opening condition is satisfied (step S32). If the opening condition is not satisfied in step S32 (N), the process returns to the opening condition parameter calculation process in step S31 again.

  On the other hand, if the calculated value of the parameter satisfies the opening condition in step S32 (Y), the control unit 12 notifies that the opening condition-added mail that satisfies the opening condition exists, and adds the opening condition. The mail is opened (step S33). Next, the control unit 12 determines whether or not there is an unopened mail that does not satisfy the unsealing condition with other unsealed mail (step S34), and if there is an unopened mail (Y), the above The process returns to the unsealing condition parameter calculation process in step S31.

  If there is no unopened mail in step S34, that is, if all the mails with opening conditions are in an opened state (N), the opening condition parameter calculation process is ended (step S35), and the opening condition determination process is ended.

  In the present embodiment, when an e-mail with an opening condition that specifies the number of steps, walking distance, calorie consumption, etc. as an opening condition parameter is received and the parameters that can be detected by the sensor unit 11 satisfy the opening condition, the e-mail body is opened. To give permission. Then, all of the e-mail text can be browsed. In other words, when the user's step count, walking distance, calorie consumption, etc. achieve the opening conditions instead of the user's action area obtained from the GPS location information, the email text of the opening condition mail is automatically opened. . For this reason, even if the user is not conscious of meeting the opening condition, the fact is notified and the e-mail text is displayed.

  Therefore, when the mobile terminal device 10 of the present embodiment is used, a service in which the number of steps, the walking distance, the calorie consumption, and the like are specified as the opening condition is possible. As an example, a case is assumed where information such as a password for acquiring a product in a campaign is described in an e-mail body of an e-mail with opening condition. In this case, when the user receives the opening condition-added mail, the user browses the attached data for notifying the opening condition, and grasps the number of steps, the walking distance, the calorie consumption, and the like, which are parameters of the opening condition that must be satisfied. That is, the user can walk while holding the mobile terminal device 10 and browse the body of the e-mail when the number of steps, walking distance, calorie consumption, etc. satisfy the opening conditions, and then refer to information such as a password. You can use the service that you can get products. In particular, if the user is highly health conscious, it can be considered to actively participate in this service, and can support the maintenance of the user's health.

  In the said embodiment, although the example which designates the number of steps, a walk distance, and calorie consumption as an opening condition was shown, it is not limited to this. In other words, at least one of the date and time (hereinafter referred to as the determination start date and time) at which the opening condition determination process shown in FIG. 5 is started may be designated as the opening condition in addition to the number of steps, the walking distance, and the calorie consumption. . This determination start date may be attached to the e-mail as an unsealing condition in step S12 of FIG. 3 showing the processing of the terminal on the mail transmission side.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the determination process of the opening condition when the determination start date / time is designated in addition to the number of steps, the walking distance, and the calorie consumption as the opening condition. First, the control unit 12 determines whether or not a determination start date and time is specified in the opening condition of the received e-mail with opening condition (step S41). When the determination start date and time is designated in step S41 (Y), the control unit 12 determines whether or not the determination start date and time is before the current time (step S42).

  If the determination start date and time is before the current time in step S42 (Y), the control unit 12 stores the opening condition attached to the opening condition-added mail in the mail management area 19 of the storage unit 20, and calculates the opening condition parameter. Processing is performed (step S43). In step S43, parameters such as the number of steps, walking distance, and calorie consumption included in the opening condition are acquired, and further, calculated values of parameters such as the number of steps, walking distance, and calorie consumption are obtained based on the sensor information of the sensor unit 11. . In step S41, when the determination start date and time is not specified in the opening condition (N), the process proceeds to step S43.

  Subsequently, the control unit 12 determines whether or not the calculated value of the parameter satisfies the opening condition (step S44). When the opening condition is not satisfied (N), the control unit 12 returns to the opening condition parameter calculation process of step S43. . On the other hand, if the opening condition is satisfied in step S44 (Y), a notification indicating that there is an unsealing condition mail that satisfies the unsealing condition, and the unsealing condition mail is opened (step S45), Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S47.

  If the determination start date is after the current time in step S42 (N), the determination start date is stored in the mail management area 19 of the storage unit 20 (step S46), and the process proceeds to step S47.

  In the process of step S47, it is determined whether or not there is an unopened mail whose determination start date and time is before the current time and that does not satisfy the unsealing condition with other unsealed mail. If there is an unopened mail in step S47 (Y), the process returns to step S41, and the subsequent processes are repeated. On the other hand, if there is no unopened mail in step S47 (N), the above-mentioned opening condition parameter calculation processing is ended (step S48), and the opening condition determination processing is ended.

  In this embodiment, if the calculated values of the parameters such as the number of steps, walking distance, calorie consumption, etc. satisfy the opening condition after the determination start date and time specified for each opening condition mail, the e-mail text of the opening condition mail is automatically Open and can be browsed. That is, even if the user is not aware that the opening condition is satisfied, the fact is notified and the e-mail text is displayed.

  As an example, a service that can be provided when the determination start date and time is designated as the opening condition will be described. Here, it is assumed that information such as a password for acquiring a product in a campaign and information that the product is provided only to the first-come-first-served names are described in the e-mail body. In this case, the user perceives the unsealing conditions by browsing the attached data for notifying the unsealing conditions or the notification mail transmitted in advance from the terminal on the mail transmission side. In other words, the user can use the service that the product can be acquired by satisfying the opening conditions such as the number of steps, the walking distance, and the calorie consumption by the determination start date and time designated as the opening condition or immediately after the determination start date and time. it can. In particular, if the user is highly health conscious, it can be considered to actively participate in this service, and can support the maintenance of the user's health.
