Description
本発明は携帯型装置および携帯型装置の起動方法に関し、特に、2つのシステムを備える携帯型装置および携帯型装置の起動方法に関する。
The present invention relates to a portable device and a method for starting a portable device, and more particularly to a portable device including two systems and a method for starting a portable device.
近年、ハードウェアデバイスの小型化・高性能化が進んでいる。これに伴って、携帯可能な1つの小型端末内で複数の異なる用途のシステムを実現することが可能になってきている。一般に、単一のシステム上では、CPU(Central Processing Unit)やRAM(Random Access Memory)などの1式のハードウェア資源に対して1以上のオペレーティングシステム(Operating System:以下、OSという)が実行される。しかし、上記のような小型端末では、例えば、コンピュータの機能を実行する1式のハードウェア資源と携帯電話の機能を実行する1式のハードウェア資源とが、それぞれ独立したシステムとして搭載される。そして、各システムで個別のOSが実行され、コンピュータと携帯電話との2つの機能が1つの小型端末によって実現される。このような小型端末では、例えば、装置の小型化のためにモニタや入力装置は2つのシステムで共有される。この場合、利用者は、同一の端末にてモニタに表示される画面を切り換えることで、2つのシステムの機能を利用することができる。
In recent years, hardware devices are becoming smaller and higher performance. Along with this, it has become possible to realize a plurality of systems for different uses in one portable small terminal. In general, on a single system, one or more operating systems (hereinafter referred to as OSs) are executed for a set of hardware resources such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The However, in the small terminal as described above, for example, a set of hardware resources for executing the functions of a computer and a set of hardware resources for executing the functions of a mobile phone are mounted as independent systems. An individual OS is executed in each system, and two functions of a computer and a mobile phone are realized by one small terminal. In such a small terminal, for example, a monitor and an input device are shared by two systems in order to reduce the size of the device. In this case, the user can use the functions of the two systems by switching the screen displayed on the monitor at the same terminal.
また、単一のシステム上で複数のOSを実行させて、各OSおよびその上で実行可能なアプリケーションソフト(以下、アプリケーションという)を切り換えて利用するという方法も、従来良く知られている技術である。この方法を用いたシステムの例として、次回のシステム起動時にロードすべきOSをあらかじめ指定する機能を有するデータ処理システムがある。そして、このデータ処理システムでは、メモリに複数のOSが格納されており、システム起動時には、ユーザによって事前に選択できるOSシステムがロードされる技術が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
特開2001-243076号公報
In addition, a method in which a plurality of OSs are executed on a single system and each OS and application software (hereinafter referred to as an application) that can be executed on the OSs are switched and used is a well-known technique. is there. As an example of a system using this method, there is a data processing system having a function of previously specifying an OS to be loaded at the next system startup. In this data processing system, a technique is known in which a plurality of OSs are stored in a memory, and an OS system that can be selected in advance by a user is loaded when the system is activated (for example, see Patent Document 1).
JP 2001-243076 A
しかし、コンピュータと携帯電話との2つの機能が1つの携帯型装置で実現される場合には、次のような問題点があった。
コンピュータ機能と、コンピュータ機能よりも消費電力が小さい携帯電話機能とを単純に合わせた携帯型装置では、ユーザによる利用目的は状況に応じて変化する。このため、事前に選択されているOSが必ずしも、今回利用したいOSであるとは限らないという問題点があった。 However, when the two functions of the computer and the mobile phone are realized by one portable device, there are the following problems.
In a portable device that simply combines a computer function and a mobile phone function that consumes less power than the computer function, the purpose of use by the user varies depending on the situation. For this reason, there is a problem that the OS selected in advance is not necessarily the OS that is desired to be used this time.
コンピュータ機能と、コンピュータ機能よりも消費電力が小さい携帯電話機能とを単純に合わせた携帯型装置では、ユーザによる利用目的は状況に応じて変化する。このため、事前に選択されているOSが必ずしも、今回利用したいOSであるとは限らないという問題点があった。 However, when the two functions of the computer and the mobile phone are realized by one portable device, there are the following problems.
In a portable device that simply combines a computer function and a mobile phone function that consumes less power than the computer function, the purpose of use by the user varies depending on the situation. For this reason, there is a problem that the OS selected in advance is not necessarily the OS that is desired to be used this time.
また、このような携帯型装置の電源がオフまたはサスペンド状態にあれば、携帯電話機能のみを利用したい場合、携帯型装置に共通の電源ボタンを押すと、必要のないコンピュータ機能も起動してしまう。一般的にコンピュータ機能は、携帯電話機能と比較して起動状態またはサスペンド状態からの復帰に時間がかかるとともに、起動状態やサスペンド状態からの復帰のための電力消費も大きい。すなわち、必要のないコンピュータ機能まで起動してしまうことで、使用可能になるまでの時間が長くなり、また余計な電力を消費してしまうという問題があった。
Also, if you want to use only the mobile phone function if the power of such a portable device is off or suspended, pressing the power button common to the portable device will also start unnecessary computer functions . In general, the computer function takes time to recover from the activated state or the suspended state as compared with the mobile phone function, and also consumes a large amount of power to recover from the activated state or the suspended state. In other words, starting up unnecessary computer functions increases the time until it can be used and consumes extra power.
本発明はこのような点に鑑みてなされたものであり、バッテリの無駄な消費を抑えた携帯型装置および携帯型装置の起動方法を提供することを目的とする。

入出力切換部103は、コンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120との操作対象を切り換える。この切り換えによって、表示部101への出力元を切り換えることができる。また、同様にして、入力部102からの入力先を切り換えることができる。利用者は、例えば、携帯端末100に設けられた切換スイッチ(図示せず)を操作することにより、入出力切換部103に対して、この切り換え動作の実行を指示することができる。
The input / output switching unit 103 switches the operation target between the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120. By this switching, the output source to the display unit 101 can be switched. Similarly, the input destination from the input unit 102 can be switched. For example, the user can instruct the input / output switching unit 103 to execute this switching operation by operating a selector switch (not shown) provided in the portable terminal 100.

In the present embodiment, the mobile phone function is realized only by the mobile phone device 120. However, for example, processing functions required for a mobile phone call, e-mail transmission / reception, and the like are performed by software processing in the computer device 110. It may be realized that, under the control of the computer device 110, a call or electronic mail may be transmitted / received via the wireless communication module 124 of the mobile phone device 120. Further, although not shown, the computer device 110 can be provided with a communication module. In this case, it is possible to realize processing functions necessary for telephone calls, transmission / reception of e-mails, browsing of the Internet, and the like by software processing in the computer apparatus 110.
また、以上の表示部101、入力部102、入出力切換部103、電源部104および電源管理部130は、2つの情報処理装置、すなわちコンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120のそれぞれによって共用される構成となっている。また、コンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120との間でも、電源管理部130の制御の下で、バス105を通じたデータの送受信が可能となっている。しかし、各部の共用のため、あるいはコンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120との間の情報転送のために、他の構成が採用されてもよい。

例えば、コンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120との間で直接、情報を受け渡すために、表示部101や入力部102などと接続するバス105とは別のバスが設けられてもよい。この場合、例えば上記のようにコンピュータ装置110でも携帯電話の処理機能を実現可能とされていれば、このバスを介して、発呼や着呼、電子メールの送受信などを制御するためのコマンドが携帯電話装置120との間で送受信されてもよい。
For example, in order to directly pass information between the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120, a bus different from the bus 105 connected to the display unit 101, the input unit 102, or the like may be provided. In this case, for example, if the computer 110 can realize the processing function of the mobile phone as described above, a command for controlling outgoing / incoming calls, transmission / reception of e-mails, and the like is sent via this bus.

電源管理部130は、押圧検出部132および状態制御部133を含む。
押圧検出部132は、例えば、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作の検知機能、押圧操作時における時間計測機能を備えている。そして、押圧検出部132は、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作の種類を、所定の押圧操作条件に従って、検出することができる。この押圧操作条件としては、後述するように、例えば、電源スイッチ130aに対する所定時間内での押圧操作回数、あるいは、連続した押圧操作時間などの条件を適用する。 Thepower management unit 130 includes a press detection unit 132 and a state control unit 133.
Thepress detection unit 132 includes, for example, a detection function of a pressing operation on the power switch 130a and a time measurement function during the pressing operation. And the press detection part 132 can detect the kind of press operation with respect to the power switch 130a according to a predetermined press operation condition. As the pressing operation condition, for example, conditions such as the number of pressing operations for the power switch 130a within a predetermined time or a continuous pressing operation time are applied as described later.
押圧検出部132は、例えば、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作の検知機能、押圧操作時における時間計測機能を備えている。そして、押圧検出部132は、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作の種類を、所定の押圧操作条件に従って、検出することができる。この押圧操作条件としては、後述するように、例えば、電源スイッチ130aに対する所定時間内での押圧操作回数、あるいは、連続した押圧操作時間などの条件を適用する。 The
The
以下に具体例として、電源スイッチ130aに対する0.5秒以内での押圧操作回数を検出する場合について説明する。
押圧検出部132は、まず、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作を検知すると、1回目の押圧操作としてカウントする。同時に、時間計測動作を開始し、0.5秒経過するまでに次回の押圧操作を検知すると、2回の連続押圧操作が行われたことを認識して、そのことを状態制御部133に通知する。一方、0.5秒経過するまでに次回の押圧操作を検知しなかった場合には、1回の押圧操作が行われたことを認識して、そのことを状態制御部133に通知する。 As a specific example, a case where the number of pressing operations within 0.5 seconds with respect to thepower switch 130a is detected will be described below.
First, when detecting a pressing operation on thepower switch 130a, the pressing detection unit 132 counts as the first pressing operation. At the same time, when a time measurement operation is started and the next pressing operation is detected until 0.5 seconds elapses, it is recognized that two continuous pressing operations have been performed, and this is notified to the state control unit 133. To do. On the other hand, if the next pressing operation is not detected before 0.5 seconds elapses, it is recognized that one pressing operation has been performed, and this is notified to the state control unit 133.
押圧検出部132は、まず、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作を検知すると、1回目の押圧操作としてカウントする。同時に、時間計測動作を開始し、0.5秒経過するまでに次回の押圧操作を検知すると、2回の連続押圧操作が行われたことを認識して、そのことを状態制御部133に通知する。一方、0.5秒経過するまでに次回の押圧操作を検知しなかった場合には、1回の押圧操作が行われたことを認識して、そのことを状態制御部133に通知する。 As a specific example, a case where the number of pressing operations within 0.5 seconds with respect to the
First, when detecting a pressing operation on the
また、以下に別の具体例として、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧時操作時間を検出する場合について説明する。
押圧検出部132は、まず、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作を検知すると、同時に、押圧状態が検知されている時間を測定する。そして、押圧状態が連続して検知された時間が例えば1秒間を超えるか否かを判定し、その判定結果を状態制御部133に通知する。 Moreover, the case where the operation time at the time of the press with respect to thepower switch 130a is detected as another specific example is demonstrated below.
First, when detecting a pressing operation on thepower switch 130a, the pressing detection unit 132 measures the time during which the pressing state is detected. Then, it is determined whether or not the time when the pressed state is continuously detected exceeds 1 second, for example, and the determination result is notified to the state control unit 133.
押圧検出部132は、まず、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作を検知すると、同時に、押圧状態が検知されている時間を測定する。そして、押圧状態が連続して検知された時間が例えば1秒間を超えるか否かを判定し、その判定結果を状態制御部133に通知する。 Moreover, the case where the operation time at the time of the press with respect to the
First, when detecting a pressing operation on the
状態制御部133は、押圧検出部132の検出結果が通知されると、検出結果に応じて、あらかじめ設定された動作設定に基づき、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120の起動要求を行う。例えば、上記の具体例でいえば、状態制御部133に、電源スイッチ130aに対して行われた2回の連続押圧操作に対して、コンピュータ装置110の起動要求を行うように設定しておく。そして、実際に押圧検出部132により2回の連続押圧操作が検知されれば、状態制御部133はコンピュータ装置110の起動要求を行う。
When the detection result of the press detection unit 132 is notified, the state control unit 133 makes an activation request for the computer device 110 or the mobile phone device 120 based on the preset operation setting according to the detection result. For example, in the above-described specific example, the state control unit 133 is set so as to make an activation request for the computer device 110 in response to two continuous pressing operations performed on the power switch 130a. Then, if two continuous pressing operations are actually detected by the pressing detection unit 132, the state control unit 133 makes an activation request for the computer device 110.
また、状態制御部133は、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれか一方の起動後、携帯電話装置120を起動させる場合と同じ入力操作が行われた場合には、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120のうち通常起動状態とする装置の入れ替え要求を行う。例えば、既に携帯電話装置120が起動状態である場合に、電源スイッチ130aに対して携帯電話装置120を起動させる場合と同じ押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、携帯電話装置120がサスペンド状態になるような制御要求を行うとともに、コンピュータ装置110の起動要求を行って、コンピュータ装置110を通常起動状態に遷移させる。
In addition, after the activation of either the computer device 110 or the mobile phone device 120, the state control unit 133 performs the same input operation as that for starting the mobile phone device 120, and the computer device 110 and the mobile phone. A request is made to replace a device in the device 120 that is normally activated. For example, when the cellular phone device 120 is already in the activated state, if the same pressing operation is performed on the power switch 130a as when the cellular phone device 120 is activated, the state control unit 133 causes the cellular phone device 120 to suspend. In addition to making a control request to enter a state, the computer device 110 is requested to start, and the computer device 110 is transitioned to a normal start state.
これに対して、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれか一方の起動後、コンピュータ装置110を起動させる場合と同じ押圧操作が行われた場合、状態制御部133はコンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120の停止要求を行う。
On the other hand, after the activation of either the computer device 110 or the cellular phone device 120, when the same pressing operation as that for activating the computer device 110 is performed, the state control unit 133 causes the computer device 110 and the cellular phone device to 120 stop requests are made.
このような構成をなす携帯端末100における電源制御処理の具体的な処理例について説明する。なお、以下では、2種類の押圧操作をそれぞれ適用した場合を例に挙げている。
A specific processing example of the power supply control processing in the mobile terminal 100 having such a configuration will be described. In the following, a case where two types of pressing operations are applied is described as an example.

図4は、実施の形態における携帯端末の状態制御部が押圧操作回数に応じて行った処理を示したフローチャートである。
図4で示すフローチャートでは、押圧操作条件の例として、所定時間内での電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作回数を用いた。また、状態制御部133は、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作回数が1回の場合では携帯電話装置120を、2回の場合ではコンピュータ装置110をそれぞれ起動させる。さらにこの例では、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれかが起動状態の場合に、状態制御部133は、さらに、ユーザによる1回または2回の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120の電源状態を入れ替えるか、または停止させる。なお、1回目の押圧操作から2回目を検知するまでの時間間隔を0.5秒とした。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating processing performed by the state control unit of the mobile terminal according to the embodiment according to the number of pressing operations.
In the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, the number of pressing operations on thepower switch 130 a within a predetermined time is used as an example of the pressing operation condition. In addition, the state control unit 133 activates the cellular phone device 120 when the number of pressing operations on the power switch 130a is one, and the computer device 110 when the number of pressing operations is two. Further, in this example, when either the computer device 110 or the mobile phone device 120 is in the activated state, the state control unit 133 further notifies the computer device 110 when one or two pressing operations are notified by the user. Then, the power state of the mobile phone device 120 is switched or stopped. Note that the time interval from the first pressing operation to the second detection operation was set to 0.5 seconds.
図4で示すフローチャートでは、押圧操作条件の例として、所定時間内での電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作回数を用いた。また、状態制御部133は、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作回数が1回の場合では携帯電話装置120を、2回の場合ではコンピュータ装置110をそれぞれ起動させる。さらにこの例では、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれかが起動状態の場合に、状態制御部133は、さらに、ユーザによる1回または2回の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120の電源状態を入れ替えるか、または停止させる。なお、1回目の押圧操作から2回目を検知するまでの時間間隔を0.5秒とした。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating processing performed by the state control unit of the mobile terminal according to the embodiment according to the number of pressing operations.
In the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, the number of pressing operations on the
[ステップS101]この処理ステップでは、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120ともに電源供給が停止された状態であるとする。このとき、電源スイッチ130aに対して押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、ユーザによって行われた押圧操作が1回であったか、あるいは2回の連続操作であったかの通知を、押圧検出部132から受け付ける。
[Step S101] In this processing step, it is assumed that the power supply is stopped for both the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120. At this time, when a pressing operation is performed on the power switch 130a, the state control unit 133 notifies the pressing detection unit of whether the pressing operation performed by the user was one time or two continuous operations. Accept from 132.
その後の処理は、1回の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS102へ、2回の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS103へ進められる。
[ステップS102]状態制御部133は、1回の押圧操作が通知されると、携帯電話装置120の起動処理部120aに起動要求を通知する。これによって、携帯電話装置120のみが起動される。 Subsequent processing proceeds to step S102 when a single pressing operation is notified, and to step S103 when two pressing operations are notified.
[Step S <b> 102] When notified of one pressing operation, thestate control unit 133 notifies the activation processing unit 120 a of the mobile phone device 120 of the activation request. As a result, only the cellular phone device 120 is activated.
[ステップS102]状態制御部133は、1回の押圧操作が通知されると、携帯電話装置120の起動処理部120aに起動要求を通知する。これによって、携帯電話装置120のみが起動される。 Subsequent processing proceeds to step S102 when a single pressing operation is notified, and to step S103 when two pressing operations are notified.
[Step S <b> 102] When notified of one pressing operation, the
[ステップS103]状態制御部133は、2回の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110の起動処理部110aに起動要求を通知する。これによって、コンピュータ装置110のみが起動される。
[Step S103] The state control unit 133 notifies the activation request to the activation processing unit 110a of the computer device 110 when two pressing operations are notified. As a result, only the computer device 110 is activated.
[ステップS104]コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれかが起動状態であるときに、ユーザにより再び電源スイッチ130aに対して押圧操作が行われる。すると、再び、状態制御部133には、ユーザによって電源スイッチ130aに対して行われた押圧操作の回数が1回であるか、連続2回であるかが押圧検出部132から通知される。そして、その後の処理は、1回の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS105へ、2回の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS106へ進められる。
[Step S104] When either the computer device 110 or the cellular phone device 120 is in the activated state, the user performs a pressing operation on the power switch 130a again. Then, again, the state control unit 133 is notified from the pressure detection unit 132 whether the number of pressing operations performed on the power switch 130a by the user is one time or two times continuously. The subsequent processing proceeds to step S105 when a single pressing operation is notified, and to step S106 when two pressing operations are notified.
[ステップS105]状態制御部133は、1回の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120のうち通常起動状態である装置を入れ替える。例えば、既に、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であって、コンピュータ装置110が停止状態(または、サスペンド状態)であるとする。このときに、押圧操作が1回行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部120aに対して、携帯電話装置120を停止状態(または、サスペンド状態でもよい)になるように制御要求を行い、起動処理部110aに対して、コンピュータ装置110の起動要求を行う。
[Step S105] When notified of one pressing operation, the state control unit 133 replaces the computer 110 and the mobile phone device 120 that are normally activated. For example, it is assumed that the mobile phone device 120 is already in the activated state and the computer device 110 is in the stopped state (or the suspended state). At this time, when the pressing operation is performed once, the state control unit 133 makes a control request to the activation processing unit 120a so that the mobile phone device 120 is stopped (or may be in a suspended state). Then, the activation processing unit 110a is requested to activate the computer device 110.
逆に、コンピュータ装置110が起動状態であって、携帯電話装置120が停止状態(または、サスペンド状態)であるとする。このときに、押圧操作が1回行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部110aに対して、コンピュータ装置110を停止状態(または、サスペンド状態でもよい)になるように制御要求を行い、起動処理部120aに対して、携帯電話装置120の起動要求を行う。
Conversely, it is assumed that the computer device 110 is in the activated state and the mobile phone device 120 is in the stopped state (or the suspended state). At this time, when the pressing operation is performed once, the state control unit 133 makes a control request to the activation processing unit 110a so that the computer apparatus 110 is stopped (or may be in the suspended state), An activation request for the cellular phone device 120 is sent to the activation processing unit 120a.
そして、その後の処理は再びステップS104へ進められ、ユーザによる電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作が待機される。
[ステップS106]状態制御部133は、2回の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を停止させる。例えば、既に、コンピュータ装置110がサスペンド状態であって、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であるとする。このとき、押圧操作が連続2回行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部110a,120aに対して、サスペンド状態のコンピュータ装置110および起動状態の携帯電話装置120が停止状態になるように、停止要求を行う。 Then, the subsequent process proceeds again to step S104, and the pressing operation on thepower switch 130a by the user is on standby.
[Step S106] Thestate control unit 133 stops the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 when notified of two pressing operations. For example, it is assumed that the computer device 110 is already in the suspended state and the mobile phone device 120 is in the activated state. At this time, when the pressing operation is performed twice in succession, the state control unit 133 causes the computer processing unit 110 in the suspended state and the mobile phone device 120 in the activated state to be stopped with respect to the activation processing units 110a and 120a. Make a stop request.
[ステップS106]状態制御部133は、2回の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を停止させる。例えば、既に、コンピュータ装置110がサスペンド状態であって、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であるとする。このとき、押圧操作が連続2回行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部110a,120aに対して、サスペンド状態のコンピュータ装置110および起動状態の携帯電話装置120が停止状態になるように、停止要求を行う。 Then, the subsequent process proceeds again to step S104, and the pressing operation on the
[Step S106] The
逆に、既に、携帯電話装置120がサスペンド状態であって、コンピュータ装置110が起動状態であるとする。このとき、押圧操作が連続2回行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部120a,110aに対して、サスペンド状態の携帯電話装置120および起動状態のコンピュータ装置110が停止状態になるように、停止要求を行う。
Conversely, it is assumed that the mobile phone device 120 is already in the suspended state and the computer device 110 is in the activated state. At this time, when the pressing operation is performed twice in succession, the state control unit 133 causes the suspended mobile phone device 120 and the activated computer device 110 to be in a stopped state with respect to the activation processing units 120a and 110a. Make a stop request.
その後の処理はステップS101へ進められ、再び、ユーザによる電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作が待機される。
なお、<処理例1>では、ステップS101の判定処理で、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作回数が1回か2回かによって、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれか一方を起動させる場合について説明した。これに、例えば、ステップS101において、所定時間内での押圧回数が3回である場合にはコンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を同時に起動させるようにすることも可能である。あるいは、ステップS101において2回の押圧操作が検知された場合には、ステップS103においてコンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120の両方を起動させるようにしてもよい。 Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S101, and the pressing operation on thepower switch 130a by the user again waits.
Note that <Processing Example 1> describes a case in which one of thecomputer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 is activated depending on whether the number of pressing operations on the power switch 130a is one or two in the determination processing in step S101. did. For example, in step S101, when the number of times of pressing within a predetermined time is three, the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 can be activated simultaneously. Alternatively, when two pressing operations are detected in step S101, both the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 may be activated in step S103.
なお、<処理例1>では、ステップS101の判定処理で、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作回数が1回か2回かによって、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれか一方を起動させる場合について説明した。これに、例えば、ステップS101において、所定時間内での押圧回数が3回である場合にはコンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を同時に起動させるようにすることも可能である。あるいは、ステップS101において2回の押圧操作が検知された場合には、ステップS103においてコンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120の両方を起動させるようにしてもよい。 Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S101, and the pressing operation on the
Note that <Processing Example 1> describes a case in which one of the
コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を同時に起動させることで、例えば、携帯電話の通話や電子メールの送受信などに必要な処理機能をコンピュータ装置110でのソフトウェア処理によって実現し、コンピュータ装置110の制御の下で、携帯電話装置120の無線通信モジュール124を介して通話や電子メールの送受信が可能となる。あるいは、これらを同時に起動させることで、コンピュータ装置110において所望のプログラムを実行させながら、携帯電話装置120を待ち受け状態とすることもできる。
By simultaneously starting the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120, for example, processing functions necessary for a mobile phone call, transmission / reception of e-mail, and the like are realized by software processing in the computer device 110, and control of the computer device 110 is performed. Below, it is possible to send and receive calls and emails via the wireless communication module 124 of the mobile phone device 120. Alternatively, by simultaneously starting them, the mobile phone device 120 can be put into a standby state while a desired program is executed on the computer device 110.

図5で示すフローチャートでは、押圧操作条件の例として、電源スイッチ130aに対する連続押圧操作時間を用いた。また、例として、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作時間が1秒未満の場合では携帯電話装置120を、1秒以上の場合ではコンピュータ装置110をそれぞれ起動させる。さらに、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれかが起動状態であるときに、状態制御部133は、1秒未満または1秒以上かが通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120の電源状態を入れ替えるか、または停止させる。
In the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, the continuous pressing operation time for the power switch 130a is used as an example of the pressing operation condition. As an example, the cellular phone device 120 is activated when the pressing operation time on the power switch 130a is less than 1 second, and the computer device 110 is activated when the pressing operation time is less than 1 second. Further, when either the computer device 110 or the mobile phone device 120 is in the activated state, the state control unit 133 is notified of whether it is less than 1 second or more than 1 second, the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120. Change or stop the power state.
[ステップS201]この処理ステップでは、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120ともに電源供給が停止された状態であるとする。このとき、電源スイッチ130aに対して押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、ユーザによって行われた押圧操作が1秒未満の押圧操作であったか、または1秒以上の押圧操作であったかの通知を、押圧検出部132から受け取る。その後の処理は、1秒未満の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS202へ、1秒以上の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS203へ進められる。
[Step S201] In this processing step, it is assumed that the power supply is stopped for both the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120. At this time, when a pressing operation is performed on the power switch 130a, the state control unit 133 notifies whether the pressing operation performed by the user is a pressing operation for less than one second or a pressing operation for one second or more. Is received from the press detection unit 132. The subsequent processing proceeds to step S202 when a pressing operation for less than one second is notified, and proceeds to step S203 when a pressing operation for one second or more is notified.
[ステップS202]状態制御部133は、1秒未満の押圧操作が通知されると、携帯電話装置120の起動処理部120aに対して、起動要求を行う。これによって、携帯電話装置120のみが起動される。
[Step S202] When the pressing operation for less than one second is notified, the state control unit 133 makes a start request to the start processing unit 120a of the mobile phone device 120. As a result, only the cellular phone device 120 is activated.
[ステップS203]状態制御部133は、1秒以上の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110の起動処理部110aに起動要求を通知する。これによって、コンピュータ装置110のみが起動する。
[Step S203] When the pressing operation for 1 second or more is notified, the state control unit 133 notifies the activation processing unit 110a of the computer apparatus 110 of the activation request. As a result, only the computer device 110 is activated.
[ステップS204]コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれかが起動状態であるときに、ユーザにより再び電源スイッチ130aに対して押圧操作が行われる。すると、再び、状態制御部133には、ユーザによって電源スイッチ130aに対して行われた押圧操作の時間が1秒未満または1秒以上であるかが押圧検出部132から通知される。
[Step S204] When either the computer device 110 or the mobile phone device 120 is in the activated state, the user performs a pressing operation on the power switch 130a again. Then, again, the state control unit 133 is notified from the pressure detection unit 132 whether the time of the pressing operation performed on the power switch 130a by the user is less than 1 second or more than 1 second.
そして、その後の処理は、1秒未満の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS205へ、1秒以上の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS206へ進められる。
[ステップS205]状態制御部133は、1秒未満の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120のうち通常起動状態である装置を入れ替える。例えば、既に、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であって、コンピュータ装置110が停止状態(または、サスペンド状態)であるとする。このときに、1秒未満の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部120aに対して、携帯電話装置120をサスペンド状態(または、停止状態でもよい)になるように制御要求を行い、起動処理部110aに対して、コンピュータ装置110の起動要求を行う。 The subsequent processing proceeds to step S205 when a pressing operation for less than one second is notified, and proceeds to step S206 when a pressing operation for one second or more is notified.
[Step S205] When the pressing operation for less than one second is notified, thestate control unit 133 switches the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 that are in the normal activation state. For example, it is assumed that the mobile phone device 120 is already in the activated state and the computer device 110 is in the stopped state (or the suspended state). At this time, if a pressing operation is performed for less than 1 second, the state control unit 133 requests the activation processing unit 120a to place the mobile phone device 120 in a suspended state (or may be in a stopped state). The activation request for the computer device 110 is made to the activation processing unit 110a.
[ステップS205]状態制御部133は、1秒未満の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120のうち通常起動状態である装置を入れ替える。例えば、既に、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であって、コンピュータ装置110が停止状態(または、サスペンド状態)であるとする。このときに、1秒未満の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部120aに対して、携帯電話装置120をサスペンド状態(または、停止状態でもよい)になるように制御要求を行い、起動処理部110aに対して、コンピュータ装置110の起動要求を行う。 The subsequent processing proceeds to step S205 when a pressing operation for less than one second is notified, and proceeds to step S206 when a pressing operation for one second or more is notified.
[Step S205] When the pressing operation for less than one second is notified, the
逆に、コンピュータ装置110が起動状態であって、携帯電話装置120が停止状態(または、サスペンド状態)であるとする。このとき、1秒未満の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部110aに対して、コンピュータ装置110をサスペンド状態(または、停止状態でもよい)になるように制御要求を行い、起動処理部120aに対して、携帯電話装置120の起動要求を行う。
Conversely, it is assumed that the computer device 110 is in the activated state and the mobile phone device 120 is in the stopped state (or the suspended state). At this time, when a pressing operation is performed for less than 1 second, the state control unit 133 requests the activation processing unit 110a to control the computer device 110 to be in a suspended state (or may be in a stopped state). Then, the activation processing unit 120a is requested to activate the cellular phone device 120.
そして、その後の処理は再びステップS204へ進められ、ユーザによる電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作が待機される。
[ステップS206]状態制御部133は、1秒以上の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を停止させる。例えば、既に、コンピュータ装置110がサスペンド状態であって、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であるとする。このときに、1秒以上の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部110a,120aに対して、サスペンド状態のコンピュータ装置110および起動状態の携帯電話装置120が停止状態になるように、停止要求を行う。 Then, the subsequent processing proceeds again to step S204, and the pressing operation on thepower switch 130a by the user is on standby.
[Step S206] Thestate control unit 133 stops the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 when notified of a pressing operation for one second or more. For example, it is assumed that the computer device 110 is already in the suspended state and the mobile phone device 120 is in the activated state. At this time, when a pressing operation for one second or longer is performed, the state control unit 133 causes the computer device 110 in the suspended state and the mobile phone device 120 in the activated state to be stopped with respect to the activation processing units 110a and 120a. As such, a stop request is made.
[ステップS206]状態制御部133は、1秒以上の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を停止させる。例えば、既に、コンピュータ装置110がサスペンド状態であって、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であるとする。このときに、1秒以上の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部110a,120aに対して、サスペンド状態のコンピュータ装置110および起動状態の携帯電話装置120が停止状態になるように、停止要求を行う。 Then, the subsequent processing proceeds again to step S204, and the pressing operation on the
[Step S206] The
その後の処理はステップS201へ進められ、再び、ユーザによる電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作が待機される。
なお、<処理例2>では、ステップS201の判定処理で、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作時間が1秒未満または1秒以上かによって、携帯電話装置120またはコンピュータ装置110を起動させる場合について説明した。これに、例えば、ステップS201において、押圧操作時間が2秒以上である場合にはコンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を同時に起動させることも可能である。あるいは、ステップS201において2秒の押圧操作時間が検知された場合には、ステップS203において、コンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120の両方を起動させるようにしてもよい。 Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S201, and the pressing operation on thepower switch 130a by the user again waits.
In <Processing Example 2>, the case has been described in which themobile phone device 120 or the computer device 110 is activated depending on whether the pressing operation time with respect to the power switch 130a is less than 1 second or more than 1 second in the determination processing in Step S201. For example, in step S201, when the pressing operation time is 2 seconds or more, the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 can be activated simultaneously. Alternatively, when a pressing operation time of 2 seconds is detected in step S201, both the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 may be activated in step S203.
なお、<処理例2>では、ステップS201の判定処理で、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作時間が1秒未満または1秒以上かによって、携帯電話装置120またはコンピュータ装置110を起動させる場合について説明した。これに、例えば、ステップS201において、押圧操作時間が2秒以上である場合にはコンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を同時に起動させることも可能である。あるいは、ステップS201において2秒の押圧操作時間が検知された場合には、ステップS203において、コンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120の両方を起動させるようにしてもよい。 Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S201, and the pressing operation on the

図6は、実施の形態における携帯端末の状態制御部が押圧操作回数および押圧操作時間に応じて行った処理を示したフローチャートである。なお、以下に説明する押圧操作回数および押圧操作時間を組み合わせた起動方法は1例であって、他の組み合わせでも構わない。
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating processing performed by the state control unit of the mobile terminal according to the embodiment in accordance with the number of pressing operations and the pressing operation time. In addition, the starting method which combined the frequency | count of pressing operation demonstrated below and a pressing operation time is an example, Comprising: Another combination may be sufficient.
図6で示すフローチャートでは、押圧操作条件に押圧操作回数および押圧操作時間を用いた。押圧操作回数および押圧操作時間の条件については<処理例1>および<処理例2>と同じとする。
In the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, the number of pressing operations and the pressing operation time are used as pressing operation conditions. The conditions for the number of pressing operations and the pressing operation time are the same as in <Processing Example 1> and <Processing Example 2>.
[ステップS301]この処理ステップでは、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120ともに電源供給が停止された状態であるとする。このとき、電源スイッチ130aに対して押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、ユーザによって行われた押圧操作が1回であったか、あるいは2回の連続操作であったかの通知を、押圧検出部132から受け付ける。
[Step S301] In this processing step, it is assumed that the power supply is stopped for both the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120. At this time, when a pressing operation is performed on the power switch 130a, the state control unit 133 notifies the pressing detection unit of whether the pressing operation performed by the user was one time or two continuous operations. Accept from 132.
そして、その後の処理は、1回の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS302へ、2回の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS303へ進められる。
[ステップS302]状態制御部133は、1回の押圧操作が通知されると、携帯電話装置120の起動処理部120aに起動要求を通知する。これによって、携帯電話装置120のみが起動される。 Then, the subsequent processing proceeds to step S302 when one pressing operation is notified, and proceeds to step S303 when two pressing operations are notified.
[Step S302] When notified of one pressing operation, thestate control unit 133 notifies the activation processing unit 120a of the mobile phone device 120 of the activation request. As a result, only the cellular phone device 120 is activated.
[ステップS302]状態制御部133は、1回の押圧操作が通知されると、携帯電話装置120の起動処理部120aに起動要求を通知する。これによって、携帯電話装置120のみが起動される。 Then, the subsequent processing proceeds to step S302 when one pressing operation is notified, and proceeds to step S303 when two pressing operations are notified.
[Step S302] When notified of one pressing operation, the
[ステップS303]状態制御部133は、2回の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110の起動処理部110aに起動要求を通知する。これによって、コンピュータ装置110のみが起動される。
[Step S303] When the two pressing operations are notified, the state control unit 133 notifies the activation request to the activation processing unit 110a of the computer device 110. As a result, only the computer device 110 is activated.
[ステップS304]コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれかが起動状態であるときに、ユーザにより再び電源スイッチ130aに対して押圧操作が行われる。すると、再び、状態制御部133は、ユーザによって電源スイッチ130aに対して行われた押圧操作の時間が1秒未満または1秒以上であるかが押圧検出部132から通知される。
[Step S304] When either the computer device 110 or the mobile phone device 120 is in the activated state, the user performs a pressing operation on the power switch 130a again. Then, again, the state control unit 133 is notified from the press detection unit 132 whether the time of the pressing operation performed on the power switch 130a by the user is less than 1 second or more than 1 second.
そして、その後の処理は、1秒未満の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS305へ、1秒以上の押圧操作が通知されたらステップS306へ進められる。
[ステップS305]状態制御部133は、1秒未満の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120のうち通常起動状態である装置を入れ替える。例えば、上述の通り、既に、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であって、コンピュータ装置110が停止状態(または、サスペンド状態)であるとする。このときに、1秒未満の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部120aに対して、携帯電話装置120をサスペンド状態(または、停止状態でもよい)になるように制御要求を行い、起動処理部110aに対して、コンピュータ装置110の起動要求を行う。 The subsequent processing proceeds to step S305 when a pressing operation for less than one second is notified, and proceeds to step S306 when a pressing operation for one second or more is notified.
[Step S305] When the pressing operation for less than 1 second is notified, thestate control unit 133 switches the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 that are in the normal activation state. For example, as described above, it is assumed that the mobile phone device 120 is already in the activated state and the computer device 110 is in the stopped state (or the suspended state). At this time, if a pressing operation is performed for less than 1 second, the state control unit 133 requests the activation processing unit 120a to place the mobile phone device 120 in a suspended state (or may be in a stopped state). The activation request for the computer device 110 is made to the activation processing unit 110a.
[ステップS305]状態制御部133は、1秒未満の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120のうち通常起動状態である装置を入れ替える。例えば、上述の通り、既に、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であって、コンピュータ装置110が停止状態(または、サスペンド状態)であるとする。このときに、1秒未満の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部120aに対して、携帯電話装置120をサスペンド状態(または、停止状態でもよい)になるように制御要求を行い、起動処理部110aに対して、コンピュータ装置110の起動要求を行う。 The subsequent processing proceeds to step S305 when a pressing operation for less than one second is notified, and proceeds to step S306 when a pressing operation for one second or more is notified.
[Step S305] When the pressing operation for less than 1 second is notified, the
逆に、コンピュータ装置110が起動状態であって、携帯電話装置120が停止状態(または、サスペンド状態)であるとする。このとき、1秒未満の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部110aに対して、コンピュータ装置110をサスペンド状態(または、停止状態でもよい)になるように制御要求を行い、起動処理部120aに対して、携帯電話装置120の起動要求を行う。
Conversely, it is assumed that the computer device 110 is in the activated state and the mobile phone device 120 is in the stopped state (or the suspended state). At this time, when a pressing operation is performed for less than 1 second, the state control unit 133 requests the activation processing unit 110a to control the computer device 110 to be in a suspended state (or may be in a stopped state). Then, the activation processing unit 120a is requested to activate the cellular phone device 120.
そして、その後の処理は再びステップS304へ進められ、ユーザによる電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作が待機される。
[ステップS306]状態制御部133は、1秒以上の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を停止する。例えば、既に、コンピュータ装置110がサスペンド状態であって、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であるとする。このときに、1秒以上の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部110a,120aに対して、サスペンド状態のコンピュータ装置110および起動状態の携帯電話装置120がそれぞれ停止状態になるように、停止要求を行う。 Then, the subsequent processing proceeds again to step S304, and the pressing operation on thepower switch 130a by the user is on standby.
[Step S306] Thestate control unit 133 stops the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 when notified of a pressing operation for one second or longer. For example, it is assumed that the computer device 110 is already in the suspended state and the mobile phone device 120 is in the activated state. At this time, when a pressing operation for one second or more is performed, the state control unit 133 causes the computer processing unit 110 in the suspended state and the mobile phone device 120 in the activated state to be stopped with respect to the activation processing units 110a and 120a. A stop request is made so that
[ステップS306]状態制御部133は、1秒以上の押圧操作が通知されると、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を停止する。例えば、既に、コンピュータ装置110がサスペンド状態であって、携帯電話装置120が起動状態であるとする。このときに、1秒以上の押圧操作が行われると、状態制御部133は、起動処理部110a,120aに対して、サスペンド状態のコンピュータ装置110および起動状態の携帯電話装置120がそれぞれ停止状態になるように、停止要求を行う。 Then, the subsequent processing proceeds again to step S304, and the pressing operation on the
[Step S306] The
ここで、電源スイッチ130aを一定時間以上押圧することで装置をシャットダウンさせることは、比較的一般的な操作方法である。このため、上記処理で、電源スイッチ130aに対して1秒以上押圧操作が行われたときに、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120の両方を停止させるようにすることで、ユーザにとって自然な操作で実現できる。
Here, it is a relatively general operation method to shut down the apparatus by pressing the power switch 130a for a predetermined time or more. Therefore, in the above processing, when the power switch 130a is pressed for 1 second or longer, both the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 are stopped, so that the operation is natural for the user. realizable.
その後の処理はステップS301へ進められ、再び、ユーザによる電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作が待機される。
なお、上記の各処理例において、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120の両方が停止状態である場合の判定処理(ステップS101,S201,S301に対応)では、電源スイッチ130aの押圧操作回数および押圧操作時間の条件を組み合わせて、携帯電話装置120のみ起動、コンピュータ装置110のみ起動、両方起動という3種類の処理のいずれかを実行するようにしてもよい。例えば、電源スイッチ130aの押圧操作が検知されたとき、押圧操作時間が所定時間未満であるときは、最初の押圧操作の検知時(あるいは押圧操作の解除の検知時)から所定時間以内に2回目の押圧操作が検知されるか否かにより、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれかのみを起動させる。また、最初の押圧操作時間が所定時間以上続いた場合には、コンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120の両方を起動させる。 Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S301, and the pressing operation on thepower switch 130a by the user again waits.
In each of the above processing examples, in the determination processing (corresponding to steps S101, S201, and S301) when both thecomputer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 are in a stopped state, the number of pressing operations and the pressing operation of the power switch 130a. A combination of time conditions may be used to execute one of three types of processing: activation of only the mobile phone device 120, activation of only the computer device 110, and activation of both. For example, when the pressing operation of the power switch 130a is detected and the pressing operation time is less than the predetermined time, the second time within the predetermined time from the detection of the first pressing operation (or the detection of the release of the pressing operation). Only the computer device 110 or the mobile phone device 120 is activated depending on whether or not the pressing operation is detected. When the first pressing operation time continues for a predetermined time or longer, both the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 are activated.
なお、上記の各処理例において、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120の両方が停止状態である場合の判定処理(ステップS101,S201,S301に対応)では、電源スイッチ130aの押圧操作回数および押圧操作時間の条件を組み合わせて、携帯電話装置120のみ起動、コンピュータ装置110のみ起動、両方起動という3種類の処理のいずれかを実行するようにしてもよい。例えば、電源スイッチ130aの押圧操作が検知されたとき、押圧操作時間が所定時間未満であるときは、最初の押圧操作の検知時(あるいは押圧操作の解除の検知時)から所定時間以内に2回目の押圧操作が検知されるか否かにより、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれかのみを起動させる。また、最初の押圧操作時間が所定時間以上続いた場合には、コンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120の両方を起動させる。 Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S301, and the pressing operation on the
In each of the above processing examples, in the determination processing (corresponding to steps S101, S201, and S301) when both the
また、上記の各処理例において、起動処理部110a,120aの制御(または状態制御部133の制御)の下で、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120の電源状態に応じて、表示装置に異なる表示を実行させることができる。例えば、表示装置としてLED素子を用いた場合には、通常起動状態ではLED素子を点灯させ、サスペンド状態ではLED素子を点滅させ、停止状態ではLED素子を消灯させるようにすることが可能である。このような表示装置を設けることにより、上記のステップS104,S204,S304において、ユーザは現在の電源状態を認識した上で電源スイッチ130aへの押圧操作を行うことが可能になる。
In each of the above processing examples, different displays are displayed on the display device according to the power supply state of the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 under the control of the activation processing units 110a and 120a (or the control of the state control unit 133). Can be executed. For example, when an LED element is used as the display device, it is possible to turn on the LED element in the normal startup state, blink the LED element in the suspend state, and turn off the LED element in the stop state. By providing such a display device, in steps S104, S204, and S304 described above, the user can recognize the current power supply state and perform a pressing operation on the power switch 130a.
なお、<処理例3>では、ステップS301の判定処理で、電源スイッチ130aに対する押圧操作回数が1回か2回かによって、コンピュータ装置110または携帯電話装置120のいずれか一方を起動させる場合について説明した。これに、例えば、ステップS301において、所定時間内での押圧回数が3回である場合にはコンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を同時に起動させるようにすることも可能である。あるいは、ステップS301において2回の押圧操作が検知された場合には、ステップS303においてコンピュータ装置110と携帯電話装置120の両方を起動させるようにしてもよい。
Note that <Processing Example 3> describes a case in which one of the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 is activated depending on whether the number of pressing operations on the power switch 130a is one or two in the determination processing in step S301. did. For example, in step S301, when the number of times of pressing within a predetermined time is three, the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 can be activated simultaneously. Alternatively, when two pressing operations are detected in step S301, both the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120 may be activated in step S303.
以上のように、携帯端末100では、電源スイッチ130aへの押圧操作条件に応じて、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120のいずれか一方を起動させることができる。このため、コンピュータ装置110および携帯電話装置120を起動させるための電源スイッチ130aを各々に用意する必要がなく、1つの電源スイッチ130aでユーザが起動させたい装置を容易に起動させ、また必要に応じて起動状態とする装置を入れ替えることができて、バッテリの消費電力を抑え、携帯端末100の操作性が向上する。
As described above, in the mobile terminal 100, either the computer device 110 or the mobile phone device 120 can be activated in accordance with the pressing operation condition to the power switch 130a. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a power switch 130a for activating the computer device 110 and the mobile phone device 120, and a device that the user wants to activate can be easily activated by one power switch 130a. Thus, the device to be activated can be replaced, the power consumption of the battery is suppressed, and the operability of the mobile terminal 100 is improved.
