Description

情報処理装置、情報処理方法、及び、プログラムを記録したコンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer-readable recording medium storing program
　本発明は、情報処理装置、情報処理方法、及び、プログラムを記録したコンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体に関する。 The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a computer-readable recording medium on which a program is recorded.
　近年、情報処理装置は、マルチタスクシステムを採用しており、複数の処理を並行して行うことが可能である。マルチタスクシステムにおいては、複数のアプリケーションプログラムを実行させることが可能であり、ユーザが、現在、操作、或いは、視認しているアプリケーションプログラム以外であっても、バックグラウンドでアプリケーションプログラムの処理を継続させておくことが可能である。 In recent years, information processing apparatuses have adopted a multitasking system and can perform a plurality of processes in parallel. In a multitasking system, multiple application programs can be executed, and even if the user is not currently operating or viewing an application program, processing of the application program is continued in the background. It is possible to keep.
　情報処理装置の動作状態には、一般的に、複数の段階がある。代表的な動作状態としては、アプリケーションプログラムを操作している状態、或いは、操作が可能な状態である通常モード、画面の描画処理やバックライト点灯がオフになり、アプリケーションプログラムの実行状態の視認が困難な状態であるスリープモード、及び、アプリケーションプログラムに対する操作の大半を受け付けないシャットダウンモードがある。 The operation state of the information processing apparatus generally has a plurality of stages. Typical operating states include the state in which the application program is being operated or the normal mode in which the application program can be operated, the screen drawing process and backlight lighting are turned off, and the execution status of the application program can be visually confirmed. There are a sleep mode, which is a difficult state, and a shutdown mode, which does not accept most operations for application programs.
　マルチタスクシステムでは、スリープモード移行前に実行中であったアプリケーションプログラムは、スリープモード中も継続して実行されるので、電力は消費され続ける。そして、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムが多いほど、情報処理装置の消費電力は大きい。そのため、近年では、消費電力を抑えるための様々な技術が提案されている。例えば、特許文献１には、携帯電話機の筐体が閉じられると、停止の可否を示すフラグに基づいて、アプリケーションプログラムの実行を停止させる技術が開示されている。 In the multitasking system, the application program that was being executed before the transition to the sleep mode is continuously executed even during the sleep mode, so that power continues to be consumed. The more application programs that are being executed, the greater the power consumption of the information processing apparatus. Therefore, in recent years, various techniques for suppressing power consumption have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for stopping the execution of an application program based on a flag indicating whether or not to stop when a casing of a mobile phone is closed.
国際公開第２００７／９９７３１号International Publication No. 2007/99731
　一方で、スリープモードにおいても、カウントダウン機能等、ユーザが意図的に実行させたい機能がある場合があり、アプリケーションプログラムの実行を継続するか否かについては、ユーザが要否判断をしたいという要望がある。しかしながら、ユーザが実行の継続の要否を判断すると、アプリケーションプログラムの終了処理を忘れる恐れがあり、消費電力を節約することができないという問題があった。また、どのアプリケーションプログラムがバックグラウンドで実行中であるかを確認する操作が必要であり、ユーザにとっては、その操作が煩雑であるという問題があった。 On the other hand, even in the sleep mode, there may be a function that the user wants to execute intentionally, such as a countdown function, and there is a request that the user wants to determine whether or not to continue execution of the application program. is there. However, when the user determines whether or not to continue execution, there is a possibility that the application program termination process may be forgotten, and power consumption cannot be saved. In addition, an operation for confirming which application program is being executed in the background is required, and there is a problem that the operation is complicated for the user.
　本発明では、上記のような課題を解決するもので、スリープモードへの移行前に実行中のアプリケーションプログラムの実行状態を示す画像を提示し、実行継続の要否の判断を促すのに好適な情報処理装置、情報処理方法、及び、プログラムを記録したコンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-described problems, and is suitable for presenting an image showing the execution state of an application program being executed before shifting to the sleep mode and prompting the user to determine whether or not to continue execution.

A voice processing unit 15, a display 16, operation keys 17, a touch panel 18, a camera 19, a speaker 20, a microphone 21, and a power supply unit 22.
　ＣＰＵ１０は、携帯型通信装置１全体の動作を制御し、各構成要素と接続され、制御信号やデータをやりとりする。例えば、ＣＰＵ１０は、ＲＯＭ１１に記憶されたプログラム、データを読み出して、所定の処理を実行する。また、ＣＰＵ１０は、内部にカウンタ（図示せず）を備えるので、処理を行うタイミングを図る。 The CPU 10 controls the operation of the entire portable communication device 1 and is connected to each component to exchange control signals and data. For example, the CPU 10 reads a program and data stored in the ROM 11 and executes predetermined processing. Further, since the CPU 10 includes a counter (not shown) inside, the timing for performing the processing is achieved.
　ＲＯＭ１１には、携帯型通信装置１全体の動作制御に必要なオペレーティングシステムのプログラムや各種のデータが記憶される。 The ROM 11 stores an operating system program and various data necessary for operation control of the entire portable communication device 1.
　ＲＡＭ１２は、データやプログラムを一時的に記憶するためのもので、ＣＰＵ１０が各種処理を実行する際に必要となるデータや画像処理部１４により加工された画像情報データを記憶する。 The RAM 12 is for temporarily storing data and programs, and stores data necessary for the CPU 10 to execute various processes and image information data processed by the image processing unit 14.
　無線通信部１３は、他の携帯型通信装置の無線通信部との間で、無線通信を行うユニットであり、図示せぬアンテナ（内蔵アンテナ等）を介して所定のデータを送受信する。なお、無線通信部１３は、所定のアクセスポイントとの間で、無線ＬＡＮ通信を行うこともできる。また、無線通信部１３には、固有のＭＡＣ（Media Access Control）アドレスが付与されている。 The wireless communication unit 13 is a unit that performs wireless communication with a wireless communication unit of another portable communication device, and transmits and receives predetermined data via an antenna (not shown) (such as a built-in antenna). The wireless communication unit 13 can also perform wireless LAN communication with a predetermined access point. The wireless communication unit 13 is given a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address.
　画像処理部１４は、ＲＯＭ１１から読み出されたデータ、カメラ１９により撮影された画像のデータ、または、ＣＰＵ１０が処理したデータを加工処理し、ＲＡＭ１２に格納する。 The image processing unit 14 processes the data read from the ROM 11, the image data captured by the camera 19, or the data processed by the CPU 10, and stores the processed data in the RAM 12.
　音声処理部１５は、ＲＯＭ１１から読み出した音声データをアナログ音声信号に変換し、スピーカ２０や携帯型通信装置１に接続されるヘッドフォンから出力させる。また、音声処理部１５は、マイク２１に入力された音声を、デジタル音声信号に変換し、ＲＡＭ１２に格納する。 The audio processing unit 15 converts the audio data read from the ROM 11 into an analog audio signal, and outputs the analog audio signal from the speaker 20 or the headphones connected to the portable communication device 1. In addition, the sound processing unit 15 converts the sound input to the microphone 21 into a digital sound signal and stores the digital sound signal in the RAM 12.
　ディスプレイ１６は、図２Ｂに示すように、ＬＣＤ（Liquid Crystal Display）等の表示デバイス１６ａと表示デバイス１６ａの後面に配置されたバックライト（光源）１６ｂと表示デバイス１６ａの前面に配置された保護ガラス１６ｃとから構成される。ディスプレイ１６は、画像処理部１４により制御され、ＲＡＭ１２に格納されたデータが示す画像を適宜表示する。 As shown in FIG. 2B, the display 16 includes a display device 16a such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), a backlight (light source) 16b disposed on the rear surface of the display device 16a, and a protective glass disposed on the front surface of the display device 16a. 16c. The display 16 is controlled by the image processing unit 14 and appropriately displays an image indicated by the data stored in the RAM 12.
　操作キー１７は、携帯型通信装置１に配置されたボタン型の操作キー１７ａ、１７ｂ、１７ｃ（図２Ａ）等から構成され、ユーザの操作に従って、所定の指示入力を受け付ける。操作キー１７には、携帯型通信装置１の筐体側面に配置された音量を調節するためのボタン（図示せず）等も含まれる。 The operation key 17 is composed of button- type operation keys 17a, 17b, 17c (FIG. 2A) arranged in the portable communication device 1, and receives a predetermined instruction input according to a user operation. The operation key 17 includes a button (not shown) for adjusting the volume arranged on the side surface of the casing of the portable communication device 1.
　タッチパネル１８は、ディスプレイ１６（正確には、保護ガラス１６ｃ）の前面に重畳して配置され、ユーザの指又はタッチペンの接触による入力を受け付ける。また、タッチパネル１８は、透明部材から構成される。このため、ユーザは、タッチパネル１８を通してディスプレイ１６の表示を視認しつつ、タッチパネル１８へのタッチ操作を行うことができる。 The touch panel 18 is arranged so as to be superimposed on the front surface of the display 16 (more precisely, the protective glass 16c), and accepts an input by contact of a user's finger or touch pen. The touch panel 18 is made of a transparent member. For this reason, the user can perform a touch operation on the touch panel 18 while visually recognizing the display on the display 16 through the touch panel 18.
　カメラ１９は、ユーザの指示に従い空間等を撮影し、撮影した映像を電気信号に変換する。カメラ１９は、例えば、ＣＭＯＳ（Complimentary MOS）センサ等から構成される。 The camera 19 shoots a space or the like according to a user instruction and converts the shot video into an electric signal. The camera 19 is composed of, for example, a CMOS (Complimentary MOS) sensor or the like.

After the power supply is started, the power supply unit 22 can reduce the supplied power to an arbitrary level by a further control signal from the CPU 10.
　なお、本実施形態に係る情報処理装置は、上述した典型的な携帯型通信装置１上に実現されるが、一般的なコンピュータ、タブレット型コンピュータ、或いは、ゲーム装置上に実現することもでき、これらの実施形態も本発明の範囲に含まれる。 The information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment is realized on the typical portable communication apparatus 1 described above, but can also be realized on a general computer, a tablet computer, or a game apparatus. These embodiments are also included in the scope of the present invention.
（２．携帯型通信装置の機能構成）
　以下、携帯型通信装置１の機能構成をハードウェア構成に関連付けて説明する。
　携帯型通信装置１は、機能的には、図３に示すように、設定部１０１と、実行部１０２と、表示制御部１０３と、受付部１０４と、から構成される。 (2. Functional configuration of portable communication device)
Hereinafter, the functional configuration of the portable communication device 1 will be described in association with the hardware configuration.
As shown in FIG. 3, the portable communication device 1 functionally includes a setting unit 101, an execution unit 102, a display control unit 103, and a reception unit 104.
　携帯型通信装置１は、動作モードとして、通常モード、又はスリープモードが設定される。 The portable communication device 1 is set to a normal mode or a sleep mode as an operation mode.
　通常モードとは、携帯型通信装置１においてアプリケーションプログラムが実行されており、その実行状態を示す画像がディスプレイ１６に表示されている状態である。一方、スリープモードとは、通常モードよりも消費電力が低い状態であり、例えば、携帯型通信装置１においてアプリケーションプログラムが実行されているが、ディスプレイ１６へ電力が供給されず、なにも画面に表示されない状態、または供給電力が低減され、画像等が画面に薄暗く表示される状態である。これにより、スリープモードでは、携帯型通信装置１の消費電力が節約され、省電力化が図られる。 The normal mode is a state in which an application program is executed in the portable communication device 1 and an image indicating the execution state is displayed on the display 16. On the other hand, the sleep mode is a state in which the power consumption is lower than that in the normal mode. For example, the application program is executed in the portable communication device 1, but no power is supplied to the display 16, and nothing is displayed on the screen. This is a state where no image is displayed, or a state where the supplied power is reduced and an image or the like is displayed dimly on the screen. Thereby, in the sleep mode, power consumption of the portable communication device 1 is saved, and power saving is achieved.
　以下、ユーザによる操作によりスリープモードが設定されることを、「手動スリープモード」という。一方、携帯型通信装置１が、ユーザより何も操作を受け付けず、所定の時間（以下、「第１所定時間」という）経過した場合に、自動的にスリープモードが設定されることを、「自動スリープモード」という。本実施形態は、手動スリープモードに設定される場合に、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムの一覧が提示されるものである。 Hereinafter, the setting of the sleep mode by the user's operation is referred to as “manual sleep mode”. On the other hand, when the portable communication device 1 does not accept any operation from the user and a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as “first predetermined time”) has elapsed, the sleep mode is automatically set. This is called “automatic sleep mode”. In the present embodiment, when the manual sleep mode is set, a list of running application programs is presented.
　設定部１０１は、後述する受付部１０４により受け付けられた設定指示に基づいて、通常モード又はスリープモードを設定する。 The setting unit 101 sets a normal mode or a sleep mode based on a setting instruction received by the receiving unit 104 described later.
　例えば、ウェブブラウザ３０が起動されており、図２Ａに示すように、ウェブブラウザ３０がディスプレイ１６に表示されている状態を通常モードとする。また、ウェブブラウザ３０は起動されているが、電源部２２からディスプレイ１６への電力の供給は停止されており、図５に示すように、何も表示されていない状態はスリープモードの一例である。設定部１０１は、設定指示に基づいて、通常モードからスリープモードへ、又は、スリープモードから通常モードへ切り替える。 For example, let us assume that the web browser 30 is activated and the web browser 30 is displayed on the display 16 as shown in FIG. 2A. Moreover, although the web browser 30 is activated, the supply of power from the power supply unit 22 to the display 16 is stopped, and as shown in FIG. 5, the state where nothing is displayed is an example of the sleep mode. . The setting unit 101 switches from the normal mode to the sleep mode or from the sleep mode to the normal mode based on the setting instruction.
　本実施形態において、ＣＰＵ１０が設定部１０１として機能する。 In this embodiment, the CPU 10 functions as the setting unit 101.
　実行部１０２は、複数のアプリケーションプログラムを実行する。 The execution unit 102 executes a plurality of application programs.
　複数のアプリケーションプログラムとは、例えば、ウェブブラウザ３０、電子メールまたはショートメッセージメール等のメールソフト、ワープロソフト等である。実行部１０２は、複数のアプリケーションプログラムを起動させておくことができ、それらの処理を並行して行う。 The plurality of application programs are, for example, a web browser 30, e-mail software such as e-mail or short message mail, word processor software, and the like. The execution unit 102 can activate a plurality of application programs, and performs these processes in parallel.
　本実施形態において、ＣＰＵ１０が実行部１０２として機能する。 In this embodiment, the CPU 10 functions as the execution unit 102.
　表示制御部１０３は、設定部１０１が通常モードを設定する場合、アプリケーションプログラムの実行状態を示す画像等を画面に表示し、設定部１０１がスリープモードを設定する場合、アプリケーションプログラムを示すサムネイル画像、アイコン等から構成される識別情報を画面に表示する。 When the setting unit 101 sets the normal mode, the display control unit 103 displays an image or the like indicating the execution state of the application program on the screen, and when the setting unit 101 sets the sleep mode, the thumbnail image indicating the application program is displayed. Identification information composed of icons or the like is displayed on the screen.
　ここで、アプリケーションプログラムの実行状態とは、例えば、アプリケーションプログラムの機能が発揮されている状態をいう。 Here, the execution state of the application program means, for example, a state in which the function of the application program is exhibited.
　例えば、ウェブブラウザ３０が現在実行されている場合には、アプリケーションプログラムを実行すると、ウェブページが表示されている。設定部１０１が携帯型通信装置１を通常モードに設定する場合、表示制御部１０３は、図２Ａに示すように、ウェブページをディスプレイ１６に表示する。 For example, when the web browser 30 is currently being executed, the web page is displayed when the application program is executed. When the setting unit 101 sets the portable communication device 1 to the normal mode, the display control unit 103 displays a web page on the display 16 as shown in FIG. 2A.
　一方、アプリケーションプログラムを示す識別情報とは、例えば、当該アプリケーションプログラムのサムネイルやアイコン等である。 On the other hand, the identification information indicating the application program is, for example, a thumbnail or an icon of the application program.
　例えば、現在、ウェブブラウザ３０、メールソフトが起動されており、設定部１０１が携帯型通信装置１をスリープモードに設定する場合、表示制御部１０３は、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムの実行状態を示す画像等の表示を停止し、それらのアプリケーションプログラムを示す画像のサムネイル４１、４２、４３を図４に示すようにディスプレイ１６に表示する。 For example, when the web browser 30 and the mail software are currently activated and the setting unit 101 sets the portable communication device 1 to the sleep mode, the display control unit 103 displays an image indicating the execution state of the application program being executed. Are stopped, and thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 of images indicating those application programs are displayed on the display 16 as shown in FIG.
　ここで、サムネイル４１、４２、４３は、携帯型通信装置１に備わるハードキー近辺のディスプレイ１６に表示させる。例えば、サムネイル４１、４２、４３は、操作キー１７ａ、１７ｂ、１７ｃの近辺に表示され、サムネイル４１は操作キー１７ａと、サムネイル４２は操作キー１７ｂと、サムネイル４３は操作キー１７ｃと、対応付けられる。あるいは、サムネイルは、携帯型通信装置１の筐体側面に配置される音量調節ボタンの近辺に配置され、当該音量調節ボタンと対応付けられるようにしてもよい。これにより、スリープモード移行時に、手袋をしている等により指でタッチパネル１８に接触しても反応しない場合などに、ハードキーにより、サムネイル４１、４２、４３の選択を受け付けることができる。 Here, the thumbnails 41, 42, 43 are displayed on the display 16 near the hard key provided in the portable communication device 1. For example, the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 are displayed in the vicinity of the operation keys 17a, 17b, and 17c. The thumbnail 41 is associated with the operation key 17a, the thumbnail 42 is associated with the operation key 17b, and the thumbnail 43 is associated with the operation key 17c. . Alternatively, the thumbnail may be arranged in the vicinity of the volume adjustment button arranged on the side surface of the casing of the portable communication device 1 and associated with the volume adjustment button. Thereby, at the time of transition to the sleep mode, the selection of the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 can be accepted by the hard key when there is no reaction even if the finger touches the touch panel 18 due to wearing gloves or the like.
　なお、表示制御部１０３は、サムネイル４１、４２、４３の表示と同時に、図４に示すように、ユーザに実行中のアプリケーションの終了を促すメッセージ４０を提示することもできる。 Note that the display control unit 103 can also present a message 40 prompting the user to end the application being executed, as shown in FIG. 4, simultaneously with the display of the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43.
　また、図４では、アプリケーションプログラムの実行状態はディスプレイ１６に表示されないが、表示制御部１０３は、アプリケーションプログラムの実行状態をディスプレイ１６に表示したまま、メッセージ４０及びサムネイル４１、４２、４３を重ねて、前面に表示するようにしてもよい。 In FIG. 4, the execution state of the application program is not displayed on the display 16, but the display control unit 103 superimposes the message 40 and the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 while displaying the execution state of the application program on the display 16. It may be displayed on the front.
　本実施形態において、ＣＰＵ１０、画像処理部１４、及びディスプレイ１６が協働して表示制御部１０３として機能する。 In the present embodiment, the CPU 10, the image processing unit 14, and the display 16 cooperate to function as the display control unit 103.
　受付部１０４は、通常モード、又は、スリープモードを指定する設定指示を受け付ける。 The accepting unit 104 accepts a setting instruction that specifies the normal mode or the sleep mode.
　例えば、携帯型通信装置１が通常モードの時に（図２Ａ）、ユーザが操作キー１７ａを３秒間押圧すると、受付部１０４は、当該押圧をスリープモードへ移行する設定指示として受け付ける。受付部１０４がスリープモードの設定指示を受け付けると、設定部１０１は、携帯型通信装置１をスリープモードに設定する。 For example, when the portable communication device 1 is in the normal mode (FIG. 2A), when the user presses the operation key 17a for 3 seconds, the receiving unit 104 receives the press as a setting instruction for shifting to the sleep mode. When the reception unit 104 receives a sleep mode setting instruction, the setting unit 101 sets the portable communication device 1 to the sleep mode.
　一方、例えば、携帯型通信装置１がスリープモードの時に（図５）、ユーザが操作キー１７ａを３秒間押圧すると、受付部１０４は、当該押圧を通常モードへ移行する設定指示として受け付ける。受付部１０４が通常モードの設定指示を受け付けると、設定部１０１は、携帯型通信装置１を通常モードに設定する。 On the other hand, for example, when the portable communication device 1 is in the sleep mode (FIG. 5), when the user presses the operation key 17a for 3 seconds, the receiving unit 104 receives the press as a setting instruction to shift to the normal mode. When the accepting unit 104 accepts the normal mode setting instruction, the setting unit 101 sets the portable communication device 1 to the normal mode.
　また、受付部１０４は、表示制御部１０３がアプリケーションプログラムの識別情報を画面に表示すると、当該識別情報を選択する選択指示を受け付ける。 Further, when the display control unit 103 displays the identification information of the application program on the screen, the reception unit 104 receives a selection instruction for selecting the identification information.
　例えば、図４に示すように、サムネイル４１、４２、４３が、アプリケーションプログラムの識別情報として、ディスプレイ１６に表示され、ユーザが指等でサムネイル４１、４２、４３のいずれかに接触すると、当該接触を選択指示として受け付ける。あるいは、操作キー１７ａ、１７ｂ、１７ｃのいずれかが押圧されると、当該押圧を選択指示として受け付ける。 For example, as shown in FIG. 4, thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 are displayed on the display 16 as identification information of the application program. When the user touches any of the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 with a finger or the like, the contact is made. Is accepted as a selection instruction. Alternatively, when any of the operation keys 17a, 17b, and 17c is pressed, the press is accepted as a selection instruction.
　そして、実行部１０２は、当該受付部１０４が受け付けた選択指示により特定されるアプリケーションプログラムの実行を終了する。 And the execution part 102 complete | finishes execution of the application program specified by the selection instruction | indication which the said reception part 104 received.
　例えば、サムネイル４１にユーザの指が接触し、又は、操作キー１７ａが押圧されると、実行部１０２は、サムネイル４１が示すアプリケーションプログラム（例えば、ウェブブラウザ）の実行を終了する。 For example, when the user's finger touches the thumbnail 41 or the operation key 17a is pressed, the execution unit 102 ends the execution of the application program (for example, a web browser) indicated by the thumbnail 41.
　また、受付部１０４は、画面に表示された識別情報の全てを一括して選択する一括選択指示を受け付ける。 Also, the accepting unit 104 accepts a collective selection instruction for collectively selecting all of the identification information displayed on the screen.
　例えば、図４に示すように、サムネイル４１、４２、４３が表示された状態で、メッセージ４０への接触が検出されると、当該接触を、サムネイル４１、４２、４３を選択する一括選択指示として受け付ける。 For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when contact with the message 40 is detected in a state where the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 are displayed, the contact is used as a collective selection instruction for selecting the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43. Accept.
　そして、実行部１０２は、サムネイル４１、４２、４３が示す各アプリケーションプログラムの実行を終了する。 And the execution part 102 complete | finishes execution of each application program which the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 show.
　なお、受付部１０４は、表示制御部１０３により識別情報が画面に表示されてから所定の時間（以下、「第２所定時間」という）が経過するまでに、選択指示又は一括選択指示を受け付けなかった場合、いずれの識別情報も選択されなかったと判断する。この場合、設定部１０１は、スリープモードへの移行を開始する。 The receiving unit 104 does not receive a selection instruction or a batch selection instruction until a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as “second predetermined time”) has elapsed since the display control unit 103 displayed the identification information on the screen. If it is, it is determined that no identification information has been selected. In this case, the setting unit 101 starts transition to the sleep mode.
　本実施形態において、ＣＰＵ１０、操作キー１７、及びタッチパネル１８が協働して受付部１０４として機能する。 In the present embodiment, the CPU 10, the operation key 17, and the touch panel 18 cooperate to function as the receiving unit 104.
（３．実施形態の携帯型通信装置の動作）
　以下、本実施形態の携帯型通信装置１の動作について説明する。携帯型通信装置１に電源が投入されると、図６の制御フローチャートに示す処理を開始する。 (3. Operation of portable communication device of embodiment)
Hereinafter, the operation of the portable communication device 1 of the present embodiment will be described. When the portable communication device 1 is powered on, the process shown in the control flowchart of FIG. 6 is started.
　ＣＰＵ１０は、操作キー１７やタッチパネル１８等によるユーザの操作が検知されたか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０１）。ＣＰＵ１０が、操作が検知されたと判断すると（ステップＳ１０１；Ｙｅｓ）、ＣＰＵ１０は、当該操作が設定指示であるか否かを判断する。すなわち、受付部１０４は、設定指示を受け付けたか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０２）。一方、ＣＰＵ１０が、操作が検知されていないと判断すると（ステップＳ１０１；Ｎｏ）、その内部カウンタのカウントをクリアし、制御フローはステップＳ１０９に進む。次に、ＣＰＵ１０は内部カウンタで０からカウントし、第１所定時間を経過したか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０９）。 The CPU 10 determines whether or not a user operation by the operation key 17 or the touch panel 18 is detected (step S101). When the CPU 10 determines that an operation has been detected (step S101; Yes), the CPU 10 determines whether or not the operation is a setting instruction. That is, the receiving unit 104 determines whether a setting instruction has been received (step S102). On the other hand, if the CPU 10 determines that no operation is detected (step S101; No), the count of the internal counter is cleared, and the control flow proceeds to step S109. Next, the CPU 10 counts from 0 with an internal counter and determines whether or not the first predetermined time has elapsed (step S109).
　例えば、ユーザがタッチパネル１８に接触してウェブブラウザを操作した場合、ＣＰＵ１０は、タッチパネル１８による操作が検知されたと判断する。一方、ユーザが、操作キー１７やタッチパネル１８に触れず、なにも操作しなかった場合、ＣＰＵ１０は、第１所定時間（例えば、３分）経過したか否かを判断する。 For example, when the user touches the touch panel 18 and operates the web browser, the CPU 10 determines that an operation by the touch panel 18 is detected. On the other hand, when the user does not touch the operation key 17 or the touch panel 18 and does not perform any operation, the CPU 10 determines whether or not a first predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) has elapsed.
　ＣＰＵ１０が第１所定時間を経過したと判断すると（ステップＳ１０９；Ｙｅｓ）、ＣＰＵ１０は、携帯型通信装置１をスリープモード（自動スリープモード）に移行させる（ステップＳ１０８）。一方、ＣＰＵ１０が第１所定時間を経過していないと判断すると（ステップＳ１０９；Ｎｏ）、制御フローはステップＳ１０１に戻る。 When the CPU 10 determines that the first predetermined time has elapsed (step S109; Yes), the CPU 10 shifts the portable communication device 1 to the sleep mode (automatic sleep mode) (step S108). On the other hand, when the CPU 10 determines that the first predetermined time has not elapsed (step S109; No), the control flow returns to step S101.
　例えば、ＣＰＵ１０が、何も操作が検知されず、３分経過したと判断すると、ＣＰＵ１０は自動スリープモードに移行する。一方、ＣＰＵ１０が、３分経過していないと判断すると、引き続き操作が検知されたか否かを判断する。 For example, when the CPU 10 determines that no operation is detected and 3 minutes have elapsed, the CPU 10 shifts to the automatic sleep mode. On the other hand, if the CPU 10 determines that 3 minutes have not elapsed, it determines whether an operation has been detected.
　ステップＳ１０２において、受付部１０４が、設定指示を受け付けたと判断すると（ステップＳ１０２；Ｙｅｓ）、設定部１０１は、当該設定指示がスリープモードを指定する指示か否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０３）。一方、ＣＰＵ１０は、当該操作が設定指示でないと判断すると、すなわち受付部１０４が、設定指示を受け付けないと判断すると（ステップＳ１０２；Ｎｏ）、制御フローはステップＳ１０１に戻る（図６では、”Ａ”で示される）。 In step S102, when the receiving unit 104 determines that a setting instruction has been received (step S102; Yes), the setting unit 101 determines whether or not the setting instruction is an instruction for specifying a sleep mode (step S103). On the other hand, when the CPU 10 determines that the operation is not a setting instruction, that is, when the receiving unit 104 determines that the setting instruction is not received (step S102; No), the control flow returns to step S101 ("A" in FIG. 6). ”).
　例えば、ユーザが操作キー１７ａを３秒間押圧すると、受付部１０４は、設定指示を受け付けたと判断する。一方、操作キー１７ａが３秒間押圧されなかった場合、ＣＰＵ１０は、引き続き操作が検知されたか否かを判断する。 For example, when the user presses the operation key 17a for 3 seconds, the receiving unit 104 determines that a setting instruction has been received. On the other hand, when the operation key 17a is not pressed for 3 seconds, the CPU 10 determines whether or not an operation has been continuously detected.
　設定部１０１は、設定指示がスリープモードを指定する指示であると判断すると（ステップＳ１０３；Ｙｅｓ）、表示制御部１０３は、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムがあるか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０４）。一方、設定部１０１は、設定指示がスリープモードを指定する指示でないと判断すると（ステップＳ１０３；Ｎｏ）、携帯型通信装置１を通常モードに設定する（ステップＳ１１１）。そして、制御フローはステップＳ１０１に戻る（図６では、”Ａ”で示される）。 When the setting unit 101 determines that the setting instruction is an instruction to specify the sleep mode (step S103; Yes), the display control unit 103 determines whether there is an application program being executed (step S104). On the other hand, when the setting unit 101 determines that the setting instruction is not an instruction to specify the sleep mode (step S103; No), the setting unit 101 sets the portable communication device 1 to the normal mode (step S111). Then, the control flow returns to step S101 (indicated by “A” in FIG. 6).
　例えば、通常モードに設定されている状態で、操作キー１７ａが３秒間押圧された場合、設定部１０１は、スリープモードを指定する指示であると判断する。そして、表示制御部１０３は、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムがあるか否かを判断する。一方、スリープモードに設定されている状態で、操作キー１７ａが３秒間押圧された場合、設定部１０１は、通常モードを指定する指示であると判断する。この場合、設定部１０１は、通常モードにするため、例えば、表示制御部１０３のディスプレイ１６に電力を供給し、携帯型通信装置１をスリープモードから通常モードに移行させる。すなわち、携帯型通信装置１を、図５の状態から、図２Ａの状態に移行させる。 For example, when the operation key 17a is pressed for 3 seconds in the state set to the normal mode, the setting unit 101 determines that the instruction is for designating the sleep mode. Then, the display control unit 103 determines whether there is an application program being executed. On the other hand, when the operation key 17a is pressed for 3 seconds while the sleep mode is set, the setting unit 101 determines that the instruction is for designating the normal mode. In this case, to set the normal mode, the setting unit 101 supplies power to the display 16 of the display control unit 103, for example, and shifts the portable communication device 1 from the sleep mode to the normal mode. That is, the portable communication device 1 is shifted from the state of FIG. 5 to the state of FIG. 2A.
　表示制御部１０３が、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムがあると判断すると（ステップＳ１０４；Ｙｅｓ）、表示制御部１０３は、当該アプリケーションプログラムのサムネイルをアプリケーションプログラムの識別情報として画面に表示する（ステップＳ１０５）。一方、表示制御部１０３が、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムがないと判断すると（ステップＳ１０４；Ｎｏ）、設定部１０１は、携帯型通信装置１をスリープモードに設定する（ステップＳ１０８）。そして、制御フローはステップＳ１０１に戻る（図６では、”Ａ”で示される）。 When the display control unit 103 determines that there is an application program being executed (step S104; Yes), the display control unit 103 displays a thumbnail of the application program on the screen as identification information of the application program (step S105). On the other hand, when the display control unit 103 determines that there is no application program being executed (step S104; No), the setting unit 101 sets the portable communication device 1 to the sleep mode (step S108). Then, the control flow returns to step S101 (indicated by “A” in FIG. 6).
　例えば、ウェブブラウザ３０、メールソフト、及びワープロソフトが起動された状態で、スリープモードの設定指示がされた場合、表示制御部１０３は、ウェブブラウザ３０、メールソフト、及びワープロソフトが実行中であると判断する。そして、表示制御部１０３は、図４に示すように、これらのアプリケーションプログラムを示す画像等から構成されるサムネイル４１、４２、４３をディスプレイ１６に表示する。一方、スリープモードの設定指示がされた時点で、いずれのアプリケーションプログラムも実行されていなかった場合、設定部１０１は、携帯型通信装置１をスリープモードに移行するため、例えば、ディスプレイ１６への電力の供給を停止する。 For example, when a sleep mode setting instruction is issued while the web browser 30, mail software, and word processing software are activated, the display control unit 103 is executing the web browser 30, mail software, and word processing software. Judge. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the display control unit 103 displays thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 including images indicating these application programs on the display 16. On the other hand, when no application program is executed when the sleep mode setting instruction is given, the setting unit 101 shifts the portable communication device 1 to the sleep mode. Stop supplying.
　表示制御部１０３により識別情報が画面に表示されると、受付部１０４は、識別情報を選択する選択指示を受け付けたか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０６）。受付部１０４が、選択指示を受け付けたと判断すると（ステップＳ１０６；Ｙｅｓ）、受付部１０４は、設定部１０１に、当該選択指示を出力する。設定部１０１は、選択指示により特定されるアプリケーションプログラムの終了処理を開始するよう実行部１０２に指示し、実行部１０２は、その終了処理を開始する（ステップＳ１０７）。そして、実行部１０２により、選択されたアプリケーションプログラムの実行の終了処理が開始されると、設定部１０１は、携帯型通信装置１をスリープモードに設定する（ステップＳ１０８）。一方、受付部１０４が、選択指示を受け付けていないと判断すると（ステップＳ１０６；Ｎｏ）、ＣＰＵ１０はその内部カウンタのカウントをクリアし、制御フローはステップＳ１０９に進む。次に、ＣＰＵ１０は内部カウンタで０からカウントし、ＣＰＵ１０は、識別情報が画面に表示されてから第２所定時間を経過したか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１１０）。 When the identification information is displayed on the screen by the display control unit 103, the receiving unit 104 determines whether or not a selection instruction for selecting the identification information has been received (step S106). When the reception unit 104 determines that a selection instruction has been received (step S106; Yes), the reception unit 104 outputs the selection instruction to the setting unit 101. The setting unit 101 instructs the execution unit 102 to start the end process of the application program specified by the selection instruction, and the execution unit 102 starts the end process (step S107). When the execution unit 102 starts execution of the selected application program, the setting unit 101 sets the portable communication device 1 to the sleep mode (step S108). On the other hand, when the reception unit 104 determines that the selection instruction has not been received (step S106; No), the CPU 10 clears the count of the internal counter, and the control flow proceeds to step S109. Next, the CPU 10 counts from 0 with an internal counter, and the CPU 10 determines whether or not a second predetermined time has elapsed since the identification information was displayed on the screen (step S110).
　例えば、ディスプレイ１６に表示されたサムネイル４１、４２、４３のいずれかへの接触が検出されたとすると、受付部１０４は、選択指示を受け付けたと判断し、実行部１０２は、接触されたサムネイル４１、４２、４３に対応するアプリケーションプログラムの実行を終了する。そして、設定部１０１は、例えば、ディスプレイ１６への電力の供給を停止する。一方、接触及び操作キー１７の押圧が検知されない場合、受付部１０４はサムネイル４１、４２、４３がディスプレイ１６に表示されてから第２所定時間（例えば、１０秒）を経過したか否かを判断する。 For example, if contact with any of the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 displayed on the display 16 is detected, the reception unit 104 determines that a selection instruction has been received, and the execution unit 102 determines that the contacted thumbnail 41, The execution of the application programs corresponding to 42 and 43 is terminated. And the setting part 101 stops supply of the electric power to the display 16, for example. On the other hand, when contact and pressing of the operation key 17 are not detected, the reception unit 104 determines whether or not a second predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed since the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 were displayed on the display 16. To do.
　受付部１０４が、識別情報が画面に表示されてから所定の時間を経過したと判断すると（ステップＳ１１０；Ｙｅｓ）、実行部１０２によるアプリケーションプログラムの終了処理は開始されず、設定部１０１は携帯型通信装置１をスリープモードに設定する（ステップＳ１０８）。一方、受付部１０４が、識別情報が画面に表示されてから所定の時間を経過していないと判断すると（ステップＳ１１０；Ｎｏ）、制御フローはステップＳ１０６に戻る。 When the reception unit 104 determines that a predetermined time has elapsed since the identification information is displayed on the screen (step S110; Yes), the execution unit 102 does not start the application program termination process, and the setting unit 101 is not portable. The communication device 1 is set to the sleep mode (step S108). On the other hand, when the reception unit 104 determines that the predetermined time has not elapsed since the identification information is displayed on the screen (step S110; No), the control flow returns to step S106.
　ステップＳ１０８では、設定部１０１は、携帯型通信装置１をスリープモードに設定するため、表示制御部１０３のディスプレイ１６への電力供給を停止する。すなわち、図８Ａに示すように、ＣＰＵ１０が、電源部２２にディスプレイ１６への電力の供給停止を指示し（ステップＳ８０１）、電源部２２は電力の供給を停止する（ステップＳ８０２）。その後、制御フローはステップＳ１０１に戻る。 In step S108, the setting unit 101 stops the power supply to the display 16 of the display control unit 103 in order to set the portable communication device 1 to the sleep mode. That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, the CPU 10 instructs the power supply unit 22 to stop supplying power to the display 16 (step S801), and the power supply unit 22 stops supplying power (step S802). Thereafter, the control flow returns to step S101.
　一方、ステップＳ１１１では、設定部１０１は、図８Ｂに示すように、通常モードにするため、ディスプレイ１６への電力を供給する。すなわち、ＣＰＵ１０が、電源部２２にディスプレイ１６への電力の供給を指示し（ステップＳ８０３）、電源部２２は電力を供給する（ステップＳ８０４）。その後、制御フローはステップＳ１０１に戻る。 On the other hand, in step S111, the setting unit 101 supplies power to the display 16 to enter the normal mode as shown in FIG. 8B. That is, the CPU 10 instructs the power supply unit 22 to supply power to the display 16 (step S803), and the power supply unit 22 supplies power (step S804). Thereafter, the control flow returns to step S101.
　例えば、サムネイル４１、４２、４３がディスプレイ１６に表示されてから１０秒経過したとすると、サムネイル４１、４２、４３が示すアプリケーションプログラムの実行は終了されず、設定部１０１は、例えば、ディスプレイ１６への電力の供給を停止する。一方、サムネイル４１、４２、４３がディスプレイ１６に表示されてから１０秒経過していない場合、引き続き受付部１０４は、選択指示を受け付けたか否かを判断する。 For example, if 10 seconds have elapsed since the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 are displayed on the display 16, the execution of the application program indicated by the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 is not terminated. Stop supplying power. On the other hand, when 10 seconds have not elapsed since the thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 are displayed on the display 16, the receiving unit 104 continues to determine whether or not a selection instruction has been received.
　なお、ステップＳ１０２において、受付部１０４がユーザによる操作が設定指示を受け付けたと判断した場合に（ステップＳ１０２；Ｙｅｓ）、表示制御部１０３は、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムがあるか否かを判断させるようにしてもよい。そして、表示制御部１０３は、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムがあると判断した場合は、識別情報（サムネイル４１、４２、４３）やメッセージ４０を表示させる領域を点灯（点滅）させ、実行中のアプリケーションプログラムがないと判断した場合は、全画面を消灯するようにしてもよい。 In step S102, when the reception unit 104 determines that the user's operation has received a setting instruction (step S102; Yes), the display control unit 103 determines whether there is an application program being executed. It may be. If the display control unit 103 determines that there is an application program being executed, the display program displays the identification information ( thumbnail 41, 42, 43) or the area where the message 40 is displayed (flashes), and the application program being executed is displayed. If it is determined that there is no image, the entire screen may be turned off.
　このような構成にすることにより、設定指示が受け付けられた時点で、ユーザは、ステップＳ１０６に関連する何らかの操作を起こすべきかどうかを判断することが可能である。 With this configuration, when a setting instruction is accepted, the user can determine whether or not to perform any operation related to step S106.
　また、ステップＳ１０７の代わりに、図７に示すステップＳ１０７ａを適用することができる。ステップＳ１０７ａでは、実行部１０２により、選択されたアプリケーションプログラムの実行の終了処理が終了した後、制御フローはステップＳ１０４に戻り、ステップＳ１０４～ステップＳ１０７を通して、他のアプリケーションプログラムの実行の終了処理を行うことができる。これにより、複数の実行中のアプリケーションプログラムがある場合、ユーザは、任意の数のアプリケーションプログラムを終了させることができる。 Further, step S107a shown in FIG. 7 can be applied instead of step S107. In step S107a, after the execution unit 102 finishes execution of the selected application program, the control flow returns to step S104, and through steps S104 to S107, execution of another application program is finished. be able to. Thereby, when there are a plurality of running application programs, the user can terminate any number of application programs.
　なお、上記ステップＳ１０１においてＣＰＵ１０によって検出される操作は、たとえば、着信応答操作、および発信操作を含む。 Note that the operations detected by the CPU 10 in step S101 include, for example, an incoming call response operation and a transmission operation.
　着信応答操作は、他の携帯型通信装置１からの電話、メール、ショートメッセージ等の発信を無線通信部１３で着信したとき、ユーザが、タッチパネル１８または操作キー１７を操作することによって、その着信に応答する操作である。また、発信操作は、ユーザがタッチパネル１８または操作キー１７を操作することより他の携帯型通信装置１への電話、メール、ショートメッセージ等の発信を発生する操作である。 The incoming call response operation is performed when the user operates the touch panel 18 or the operation key 17 when the wireless communication unit 13 receives a call, mail, short message or the like from another portable communication device 1. It is an operation that responds to. The call operation is an operation for generating a call, mail, short message, or the like to another portable communication device 1 when the user operates the touch panel 18 or the operation key 17.
　着信応答操作または発信操作が検出されると（ステップＳ１０１：Ｙｅｓ）、ＣＰＵ１０は、当該操作が設定指示であると判断する。すなわち、受付部１０４は、着信応答操作または発信操作による設定指示を受け付けたと判断する（ステップＳ１０２：Ｙｅｓ）。 When the incoming call response operation or the outgoing call operation is detected (step S101: Yes), the CPU 10 determines that the operation is a setting instruction. That is, the reception unit 104 determines that a setting instruction by an incoming call response operation or a transmission operation has been received (step S102: Yes).
　受付部１０４は、そのような設定指示を設定部１０１に入力し、設定部１０１は、設定指示がスリープモードを指定すると判断する（ステップＳ１０３：Ｙｅｓ）。その後、制御フローは、ステップＳ１０４に進む。ステップＳ１０４以降の処理は、上述の処理と同じ処理を行う。 The reception unit 104 inputs such a setting instruction to the setting unit 101, and the setting unit 101 determines that the setting instruction specifies the sleep mode (step S103: Yes). Thereafter, the control flow proceeds to step S104. The processing after step S104 performs the same processing as that described above.
　本実施形態によれば、スリープモード移行時に、ユーザは、選択的にアプリケーションプログラムを実行継続させ、または、終了処理をすることができる。これにより、ユーザの利便性を考慮しつつ、消費電力を抑えることができる。また、情報処理装置の特定の段階、すなわち、スリープモードへの移行時に実行中のアプリケーションプログラムが提示される。これにより、消費電力を抑えるために常にアプリケーションプログラムが実行中であるかを確認しなければならないという負担を軽減することができる。また、不必要なアプリケーションプログラムの実行を終了しないまま電力が消費される事態を起こしにくくすることができる。 According to the present embodiment, at the time of shifting to the sleep mode, the user can selectively continue execution of the application program or perform end processing. Thereby, power consumption can be suppressed while considering user convenience. In addition, an application program being executed at a specific stage of the information processing apparatus, that is, at the time of transition to the sleep mode, is presented. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden of having to check whether the application program is always being executed in order to reduce power consumption. In addition, it is possible to make it difficult to cause a situation where power is consumed without completing execution of unnecessary application programs.
　なお、本実施形態では、手動スリープモードへの移行時にアプリケーションプログラムの識別情報が画面に表示されることとしたが、これに限らない。例えば、自動スリープモードに移行する場合にも、アプリケーションプログラムの識別情報が画面に表示されるようにしてもよい。これにより、自動的にスリープモードに移行した場合も、ユーザは、適宜、終了するアプリケーションプログラムを選択することができる。 In this embodiment, the application program identification information is displayed on the screen when shifting to the manual sleep mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the identification information of the application program may be displayed on the screen when shifting to the automatic sleep mode. Thereby, even when the mode automatically shifts to the sleep mode, the user can select an application program to be ended as appropriate.

For example, a computer program for executing the above operation is stored and distributed on a computer-readable recording medium (flexible disk, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.), and the computer program is installed in the computer. Thus, an information processing apparatus that executes the above-described processing may be configured. Alternatively, the computer program may be stored in a storage device included in a server device on a communication network such as the Internet, and the information processing device may be configured by being downloaded by a normal computer system.
　また、情報処理装置の機能を、ＯＳ（オペレーティングシステム）とアプリケーションプログラムの分担、またはＯＳとアプリケーションプログラムとの協働により実現する場合などには、アプリケーションプログラム部分のみを記録媒体や記憶装置に格納してもよい。 Further, when the functions of the information processing apparatus are realized by sharing of an OS (operating system) and an application program, or by cooperation between the OS and the application program, only the application program part is stored in a recording medium or a storage device. May be.
　また、搬送波にコンピュータプログラムを重畳し、通信ネットワークを介して配信することも可能である。たとえば、通信ネットワーク上の掲示板(BBS：Bulletin Board System)に前記コンピュータプログラムを掲示し、ネットワークを介して前記コンピュータプログラムを配信してもよい。そして、このコンピュータプログラムを起動し、ＯＳの制御下で、他のアプリケーションプログラムと同様に実行することにより、前記の処理を実行できるように構成してもよい。 Also, it is possible to superimpose a computer program on a carrier wave and distribute it via a communication network. For example, the computer program may be posted on a bulletin board (BBS: Bulletin Board System) on a communication network, and the computer program may be distributed via the network. The computer program may be started and executed in the same manner as other application programs under the control of the OS, so that the above-described processing may be executed.
