Description

The present invention relates to a technique for notifying a user of various notifications in an information processing apparatus.

In various information processing devices such as mobile phones or smartphones, generally, when there is an incoming call, a ringing tone is sounded to notify the user that the incoming call has been received. However, the user often sets the operation mode of the information processing device to the manner mode in which the ringing tone does not sound.
Patent Document 1 discloses a mobile communication terminal that notifies a user that an incoming call has been received even if the manner mode is set by displaying an icon corresponding to the number of ringing tones. More specifically, the mobile communication terminal displays the icon during the ringing period when the ringing tone is ringing, and hides the icon when the caller disconnects the communication when there is no answer to the incoming call. ..

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-151793

However, since the conventional mobile communication terminal hides the icon if the user does not answer during the ringing period, the user can know that there is an incoming call just by looking at the screen of the mobile communication terminal. I can't. Various notifications displayed on the screen in this way are hidden after a predetermined period of time, and are often not confirmed by the user later. On the other hand, if all notifications are displayed, the screen becomes difficult to see.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and one of the problems to be solved is to organize the notifications displayed on the screen and to enable the user to confirm the notifications deemed necessary later. ..

In order to solve the above problems, a program according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention attaches a processor of an information processing apparatus provided with a display device capable of displaying an image to the display device upon receiving a predetermined notification from the software. When a notification image for notifying a predetermined notification is displayed and a predetermined display continuation operation is performed on the notification image, the display continuation operation is performed even when the predetermined termination condition is satisfied. The notification image is displayed on the display device, and if the display continuation operation is not performed on the notification image, the notification image for which the display continuation operation is not performed is hidden when the end condition is satisfied. It functions as a control unit.

The information processing device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention causes the display device to display a display device capable of displaying an image and a notification image notifying the predetermined notification when a predetermined notification is received from the software, and the notification image is displayed. On the other hand, when the predetermined display continuation operation is performed, the notification image on which the display continuation operation is performed is displayed on the display device even when the predetermined end condition is satisfied, and the notification image is displayed. On the other hand, if the display continuation operation is not performed, the processor that hides the notification image for which the display continuation operation is not performed when the end condition is satisfied is provided.

According to the present invention, whether or not the continuous display operation is performed on the notification image determines whether to continue or hide the display when the end condition is satisfied, so that the user can perform the continuous display operation. By executing, the notification images to be continuously displayed can be specified, and the notification images for which the continuous display operation has not been performed can be organized according to the end condition.

Memorize TBLC. The storage device 12 is composed of, for example, one or more types of storage circuits such as ROM (Read Only Memory), EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM), and RAM (Random Access Memory).

The storage device 12 stores software such as an OS (Operating System) and various applications as a plurality of programs. The OS provides a standard interface for operating hardware for an application, and efficiently manages each resource such as hardware. Applications include communication applications such as phone, email, and chat, as well as notification management applications to notify users of notifications generated by multiple software.

The communication device 13 is a device that communicates with another device via a mobile communication network or a communication network such as the Internet. The communication device 13 is also referred to as, for example, a network device, a network controller, a network card, or a communication module. For example, various applications received by the communication device 13 from the server (not shown) via the communication network are stored in the storage device 12. For example, the above-mentioned notification management application may be downloaded from the server by the communication device 13 via the communication network, or may be pre-installed in the information processing device 100.

The display device 14 can display various images under the control of the processing device 11. For example, various display panels such as a liquid crystal display panel and an organic EL display panel are suitably used as the display device 14.

The operation device 15 is a device for inputting a user's instruction. The operating device 15 accepts operations by the user. Specifically, the operation device 15 accepts an operation for inputting a code such as a number and a character and an operation for selecting an image to be displayed by the display device 14.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram focusing on the function of the information processing apparatus 100. When the processing device 11 executes the notification management application stored in the storage device 12, the control unit 32 illustrated in FIG. 2 is realized.

The OS and applications issue various notifications. The various notifications include notifications used for internal processing, and the notifications to be notified to the user are a part of the issued notifications. The control unit 32 manages the notification to be notified to the user as a predetermined notification. When the control unit 32 receives the predetermined notification from the software, the notification image is displayed on the display device 14, so that the user can know the predetermined notification by the image.

In the present embodiment, when the user does not execute the display continuation operation on the notification image, the notification image is changed to non-display when the end condition is satisfied. On the other hand, when the user executes the display continuation operation on the notification image, the notification image is continuously displayed even if the end condition is satisfied.

The control unit 32 determines whether or not the display continuation operation has been performed on the notification image and whether or not the end condition is satisfied. Even when the end condition is satisfied, the control unit 32 causes the display device 14 to display the notification image for which the display continuation operation has been performed when the display continuation operation is performed for the notification image. Further, when the display continuation operation is not performed on the notification image and the end condition is satisfied, the control unit 32 hides the notification image for which the display continuation operation is not performed. Therefore, the user can specify the notification image to be continuously displayed by executing the continuous display operation, and can organize the notification images for which the continuous display operation has not been performed depending on the end condition. As a result, the screen of the display device 14 can be effectively used.

In the notification image table TBLa, the type of software that issues the notification, the sender information indicating the sender, the notification image data GD indicating the notification image, and the notification image ID for identifying the notification image are stored in association with each other. There is. However, the source information is stored only when the software that issues the notification is a communication application. The sender information includes a telephone number in a telephone and an email address in an email. FIG. 3 shows an example of the stored contents of the notification image table TBLa. For example, as record R1, the mail address of "oka@ouchi.co.jp" is stored as a sender in the mail application, and further, image data GD1 indicating a notification image and ID1 are recorded as notification image ID. .. In this example, different image data is stored for each source. The notification image for each sender may be selectable by the user, or may be automatically assigned by the notification management application and then changed by the user.

The image management table TBLb stores the type, size, and position of the image displayed on the display device 14 in association with each other. FIG. 4 shows an example of the stored contents of the image management table TBLb. The image type corresponds to, for example, a notification image, an icon, and a widget. The size represents the number of vertical and horizontal pixels. The position represents the coordinates on the screen in the X and Y directions for the points in the lower left corner of each image. In the example shown in the figure, the image management table TBLb includes records R11 to R15, .... The record R15 means that a notification image having a size of 150 pixels in length × 300 pixels in width is being displayed at the position (X5, Y5).
By referring to the image management table TBLb, it is possible to specify a free area in which various elements are not displayed on the screen of the display device 14.

The incoming call history is stored in the incoming call history table TBLC. FIG. 5 shows an example of the stored contents of the incoming call history table TBLC.

In the case of a telephone, voice data will be recorded if there is a record on the answering machine. On the other hand, in the case of mail, the received mail data corresponds to the communication data. In the example shown in the figure, the incoming call history table TBLC includes records R21 to R25, .... The record R22 receives the communication data MD1 from "oka@ouchi.co.jp" at 13:14 on October 2, 2017, and indicates that the notification image ID is ID1.
By referring to the incoming call history table TBLC, it is possible to know the communication data corresponding to the notification image displayed on the display device 14.

The explanation is returned to FIG. The control unit 32 causes the display device 14 to display various screens based on the operation signal 15a output from the operation device 15, and the control unit 32 controls the audio device 16 to output various sounds.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the processing of the notification management application. First, the processing device 11 determines whether or not a predetermined notification has been received from the software (step Sa1), and repeats this determination until the predetermined notification is received. Here, the software includes both an OS and an application. The predetermined notification received from the OS includes, for example, a notification prompting an OS update, a notification notifying that the remaining storage capacity of the storage device 12 has become less than a predetermined value, and the like. In addition, predetermined notifications received from the application include an incoming mail, an incoming call, and the like.

When the processing device 11 receives a predetermined notification from the software, the processing device 11 displays a notification image notifying the user of the predetermined notification on the display device 14 (step Sa2). For example, if there is an incoming call while receiving an e-mail, the notification image M corresponding to the incoming e-mail is displayed on the display device 14 (left screen of FIG. 7) as shown in FIG. 7, and then the incoming call is received. The notification image C corresponding to is displayed on the display device 14 (center screen of FIG. 7). The notification image C in this example is an image showing a ringing tone as an onomatopoeia, such as "Tourlulu". Since the user is accustomed to hearing the ringing tone, the user can see the notification image C at a glance to know that there is an incoming call.

Next, the processing device 11 determines whether or not a predetermined display continuation operation has been performed on the notification image (step Sa3). The notification image for which the display continuation operation has been performed is in a so-called pinned state. The pinned state means an operating state in which the notification image is displayed on the display device 14 even if the end condition for hiding the notification image is satisfied. The display continuation operation may be any operation as long as it is predetermined, but in this example, a single tap is adopted. That is, when the user taps the notification image once, the notification image is pinned. More specifically, the processing device 11 determines whether or not the user has executed the display continuation operation on the notification image based on the operation signal 15a. For example, the notification image C is displayed on the screen shown in the center of FIG. 7. If the operation signal 15a indicates a single tap in the display area (the portion surrounded by the dotted line) of the notification image C, the processing device 11 determines that the display continuation operation has been performed on the notification image C.

If the display continuation operation is not performed on the notification image, the determination result in step Sa3 is "NO", and the processing device 11 determines whether or not the end condition is satisfied (step Sa4). The termination condition may be different depending on the type of software that generated the predetermined notification, or may be a condition common to a plurality of software.

As a common condition, for example, the display time of the notification image reaches a predetermined time. On the other hand, as an individual condition, for example, when the application that generated the predetermined notification is a telephone, the call to the telephone may be completed. Further, when the application that generated the predetermined notification is an e-mail, it may be that the reception of the e-mail is completed.

Termination conditions in this example include the end of the phone call and the completion of receiving mail. For example, on the central screen of FIG. 7, it is assumed that the user does not execute the single-tap display continuation operation on the mail notification image M, but executes the display continuation operation on the telephone notification image C. In this case, when the reception of the mail is completed and the call of the telephone is completed, the notification image C for which the display continuation operation is performed is continuously displayed on the display device 14 as shown in the screen on the right of FIG. 7, and the mail is displayed. The notification image M of is hidden.

On the other hand, when the display continuation operation is performed on the notification image and the determination result in step Sa3 is "YES", the processing device 11 determines whether or not the first operation predetermined for the notification image has been performed (step Sa6). ). The first operation is an operation for canceling the above-mentioned display continuation operation. The first operation may be any predetermined operation. In this example, the long press operation of pressing the notification image for a predetermined time or longer corresponds to the first operation. The processing device 11 determines whether or not it corresponds to the first operation based on the operation signal 15a.

When the first operation is performed on the notification image for which the display continuation operation is performed, the determination result in step Sa6 becomes "YES", and the processing device 11 changes the notification image for which the first operation is performed to be hidden (step). Sa5).

On the other hand, if the first operation is not performed on the notification image for which the display continuation operation is performed, the determination result in step Sa6 is "NO", and whether or not the processing device 11 has performed the second operation on the notification image. Is determined (Sa7). The second operation in this example is a double tap. When the second operation is performed, the determination result in step Sa7 is "YES", and the information corresponding to the predetermined notification is displayed on the display device 14 (step Sa8). For example, when the predetermined notification is a telephone, the processing device 11 refers to the incoming call history table TBLC and causes the display device 14 to display the incoming call history of the telephone corresponding to the predetermined notification. Further, when the predetermined notification is an e-mail, the processing device 11 refers to the incoming call history table TBLC and causes the display device 14 to display the contents of the e-mail. When the second operation is performed on the notification image in this way, the content of the predetermined notification is displayed on the display device 14, so that the user can confirm the content of the predetermined notification.

After that, the processing device 11 changes the notification image for which the second operation has been performed to be hidden (step Sa5). That is, the processing device 11 changes the notification image for which the display continuation operation and the second operation have been performed to be hidden. On the other hand, if the second operation is not performed on the notification image, the determination result in step Sa7 becomes "NO", and the processing device 11 returns the processing to step Sa6.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the processing device 11 causes the display device 14 to display and display the notification image for which the display continuation operation has been performed, even when the end condition is satisfied. For the notification image that has not been continuously operated, the notification image was hidden when the end condition was satisfied. As a result, only the notification image for which the display continuation operation has been performed can be left on the screen among the notification images, and the other notification images are hidden if the end condition is satisfied. Therefore, the screen of the display device 14 is the notification image. It will not be filled up, and it is possible to leave a notification image that the user considers important.

Further, when the first operation is performed on the notification image for which the display continuation operation is performed, the processing device 11 hides the notification image for which the first operation is performed, so that the notification image is displayed at the user's will. The continuous operation can be canceled to organize the screen of the display device 14.

Further, when the second operation is performed on the notification image on which the display continuation operation is performed, the processing device 11 causes the display device 14 to display information on a predetermined notification corresponding to the notification image on which the display continuation operation is performed. , The user can confirm the content of the predetermined notification. Further, the processing device 11 hides the notification image for which the display continuation operation is performed after displaying the information related to the predetermined notification on the display device 14, so that when the user confirms the content of the predetermined notification, the display device 11 becomes the first. The notification image can be hidden by omitting one operation. As a result, it is possible to organize the notification images with a simple operation and secure a space for displaying a new notification image.

<2. 2nd Embodiment>
In the first embodiment described above, when the first operation is performed on the notification image for which the display continuation operation is performed, the notification image is immediately hidden, but the information processing apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment is the first operation. When is done, it is possible to hide the notification image.
The hardware of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the operation of the notification management application is different.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the notification management application according to the second embodiment. The notification management application of the second embodiment is the same as the notification management application of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 6, except that the notification management application includes steps Sa61 to Sa64. The differences will be described below.

When the first operation is performed on the notification image (Sa6: "YES"), the processing device 11 makes the notification image movable (step Sa61). After that, the processing device 11 determines whether or not the tap operation is completed (step Sa62). The end of the tap operation means that the user releases the finger pressing the notification image from the screen in the first operation. The processing device 11 determines the end of the tap operation based on the operation signal output from the operation device 15.

When the tap operation is completed, the processing device 11 determines whether or not at least a part of the notification image is located outside the screen (step Sa63). For example, suppose that the user moves the notification image C shown on the left screen of FIG. 9 while pressing it with a finger, and releases the finger in the state of the screen on the right of FIG. In this case, since a part of the notification image protrudes from the screen, the determination result in step Sa63 is "YES", and the processing device 11 changes the displayed image to non-display (step Sa5). On the other hand, when all of the notification images are on the screen, the determination result in step Sa63 is "NO", and the processing device 11 displays the notification image at the destination and returns the processing to step Sa6.

As described above, in the second embodiment, when the first operation is performed on the notification image for which the display continuation operation is performed, the notification image can be hidden and the notification image is pressed in the first operation. You can change the position of the notification image or hide the notification image by simply moving your finger. Therefore, the screen of the display device 14 can be easily seen by organizing the notification images for which the display continuation operation has been performed by a simple operation.

<3. Third Embodiment>
In the first embodiment described above, the position of the notification image in which the display continuation operation is performed is fixed. The notification image for which the display continuation operation has not been performed is hidden if the end condition is satisfied, but the notification image for which the display continuation operation has been performed is continuously displayed until a predetermined operation is performed. If the notification image that has been continuously operated to be displayed overlaps with another element such as an icon, the other element becomes difficult to see. The information processing device 100 according to the third embodiment arranges the notification image for which the display continuation operation has been performed in a free area where other elements are not displayed on the screen of the display device 14.
The configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the operation of the notification management application is different. Specifically, when the determination result of step Sa3 shown in FIG. 6 is "YES", the processing apparatus 11 executes the arrangement processing and then proceeds to the processing in step Sa6.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the arrangement processing. First, the processing device 11 determines whether or not the notification image for which the display continuation operation has been performed overlaps with other elements (step Sb1). The processing device 11 refers to the image management table TBLb and determines whether or not the notification image for which the display continuation operation has been performed overlaps with other elements. For example, when the notification image C and the icon overlap as shown in the screen shown on the left side of FIG. 11, the determination result is "YES".

When the determination result in step Sb1 is "YES", the processing device 11 refers to the image management table TBLb and detects an empty area in which other elements such as icons are not arranged (step Sb2). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11, the area E corresponds to a free area.

Next, the processing device 11 determines whether or not the notification image for which the display continuation operation has been performed can be displayed in the empty area (step Sb3). More specifically, when the vertical size of the free area is larger than the vertical size of the notification image and the horizontal size of the free area is larger than the horizontal size of the notification image, the processing device 11 can display the notification image in the free area. judge.

If the determination result in step Sb3 is "YES", the processing device 11 arranges the notification image in the empty area (step Sb4). For example, the notification image that overlaps with the icon is moved to the area E as shown in the screen on the right of FIG. On the other hand, when the determination result in step Sb3 is "NO", the processing device 11 reduces the notification image and arranges it in the empty area (step Sb5).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the notification image for which the display continuation operation is performed overlaps with other elements, the notification image is displayed in the free area, so that other elements such as the icon are hidden in the notification image. It is possible to prevent the icon from becoming difficult to see and to make it easier for the user to operate the icon.

<4. Modification example>
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments exemplified above. Specific modes of modification are illustrated below. Two or more embodiments arbitrarily selected from the following examples may be merged.

In this case, the processing device 11 may refer to the image management table TBLb, detect a portion that does not overlap with the notification image, and set an operation reception area in the portion. For example, on the screen shown on the left side of FIG. 11, it is assumed that the user executes a display continuation operation on the notification image C. In this case, the processing device 11 sets the operation reception area Z in a portion that does not overlap with the icons A1, A2, and A3 as shown in FIG. Then, when the user operates the operation reception area Z, the operation for the notification image C is accepted, and when the portion where the notification image C and the icons A1, A2, and A3 overlap is operated, the operation for each of the icons A1 to A3 is performed.
