保持部4は、背面対向面35における中央部に設けられている。換言すれば、保持部4は、カバー本体3のうちの背面板部35aに設けられている。背面板部35aは、板状のスマートフォン2におけるタッチパネルディスプレイ21が設けられた面(正面)の反対側の面(背面)を覆う部分である。この保持部4は、スマートフォン2をカバー本体3に対してスライド移動可能に保持するための部材である。ここでいうカバー本体3に対して移動可能に保持するとは、カバー本体3における背面板部35aに対して移動可能に保持することを意味する。保持部4は、板部41と、板部41に貼り付けられた粘着シート42と、板部41をスマートフォンカバー1の上下方向にスライド移動可能に保持するスライド機構43と、を備える。
The holding part 4 is provided in the center part in the back facing surface 35. In other words, the holding portion 4 is provided on the back plate portion 35 a of the cover body 3. The back plate portion 35a is a portion that covers a surface (back surface) opposite to the surface (front surface) on which the touch panel display 21 is provided in the plate-like smartphone 2. The holding unit 4 is a member for holding the smartphone 2 slidably with respect to the cover body 3. Here, holding in a movable manner with respect to the cover main body 3 means holding in a movable manner with respect to the back plate portion 35 a in the cover main body 3. The holding unit 4 includes a plate portion 41, an adhesive sheet 42 attached to the plate portion 41, and a slide mechanism 43 that holds the plate portion 41 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction of the smartphone cover 1.
板部41は、概略長方形状の板状の樹脂製の部材であり、板部41の長手方向はスマートフォンカバー1の上下方向と一致する。図1A及び図1Bに示すように、板部41の正面(カバー本体3が折りたたまれたときに正面対向面33に対向する面)には長方形状の粘着シート42が貼り付けられおり、スマートフォン2の背面に接着する接着面42aが形成されている。スマートフォン2は、接着面42aに着脱可能に接着されるが、粘着シート42の粘着力は強力である。そのため、粘着シート42は一度スマートフォン2に貼付されると容易にはスマートフォン2から剥がれにくい。また、接着面42aは、背面対向面35よりも突出する位置に設けられている。
The plate portion 41 is a substantially rectangular plate-shaped resin member, and the longitudinal direction of the plate portion 41 coincides with the vertical direction of the smartphone cover 1. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a rectangular adhesive sheet 42 is attached to the front surface of the plate portion 41 (the surface facing the front facing surface 33 when the cover body 3 is folded), and the smartphone 2 An adhesive surface 42a is formed to be adhered to the back surface. The smartphone 2 is detachably attached to the adhesive surface 42a, but the adhesive strength of the adhesive sheet 42 is strong. Therefore, the adhesive sheet 42 is not easily peeled off from the smartphone 2 once it is attached to the smartphone 2. Further, the adhesive surface 42 a is provided at a position protruding from the back facing surface 35.
図4Aに示すように、板部41の背面には、小突起41aが形成されている。また、板部41の左右両側には、板部41の背面側(図4Aの紙面手前側)に突出する一対の側壁41b,41cが形成されている。
As shown in FIG. 4A, a small protrusion 41 a is formed on the back surface of the plate portion 41. A pair of side walls 41b and 41c are formed on the left and right sides of the plate portion 41 so as to protrude to the back side of the plate portion 41 (the front side in FIG. 4A).
図4B及びCに示すように、スライド機構43は、ベース431と、ベース431の上に板部41が配置された状態で上から被せられる蓋部432と、を備える。
ベース431は、スマートフォンカバー1の上下方向に沿った長さが板部41よりも十分に長く、左右方向に沿った長さが板部41よりもやや長い概略長方形状の板状の樹脂製の部材であり、板部41の背面と対向する。ベース431は、当該ベース431の上に板部41が配置された状態で、スマートフォンカバー1の上下方向に沿った板部41のスライド移動をガイドする。また、ベース431の正面には、小突起431aが形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, theslide mechanism 43 includes a base 431 and a lid portion 432 that is covered from above with the plate portion 41 being disposed on the base 431.
Thebase 431 is made of a substantially rectangular plate-like resin whose length along the vertical direction of the smartphone cover 1 is sufficiently longer than the plate portion 41 and whose length along the left and right direction is slightly longer than the plate portion 41. It is a member and faces the back surface of the plate portion 41. The base 431 guides the sliding movement of the plate portion 41 along the vertical direction of the smartphone cover 1 in a state where the plate portion 41 is disposed on the base 431. A small protrusion 431a is formed on the front surface of the base 431.
ベース431は、スマートフォンカバー1の上下方向に沿った長さが板部41よりも十分に長く、左右方向に沿った長さが板部41よりもやや長い概略長方形状の板状の樹脂製の部材であり、板部41の背面と対向する。ベース431は、当該ベース431の上に板部41が配置された状態で、スマートフォンカバー1の上下方向に沿った板部41のスライド移動をガイドする。また、ベース431の正面には、小突起431aが形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, the
The
蓋部432は、概略U字状の板状の樹脂製の部材であり、蓋部432の外径はベース431の下端部を除く外形と略一致している。蓋部432は、板部41がベース431の上に配置された状態で、ベース431の下端部を除く外縁を上から覆うように被せられる。これにより、背面対向面35と垂直な方向の板部41の移動が規制される。
The lid portion 432 is a substantially U-shaped plate-shaped resin member, and the outer diameter of the lid portion 432 substantially matches the outer shape excluding the lower end portion of the base 431. The lid portion 432 is covered so as to cover the outer edge excluding the lower end portion of the base 431 from above with the plate portion 41 being disposed on the base 431. Thereby, the movement of the plate part 41 in the direction perpendicular to the back surface 35 is restricted.
板部41は、スライド機構43により、図1Aに示す第1の位置と図1Bに示す第2の位置との間でスライド移動可能に保持される。板部41が第1の位置に位置している状態では、図2Aに示すように、スマートフォン2の背面全体がカバー本体3に覆われる。一方、板部41が第2の位置に位置している状態では、図2Bに示すように、スマートフォン2の背面における端部がカバー本体3よりも外側へ突出する。また、板部41が第1の位置に位置している状態では、前述の閉状態において、スマートフォン2のタッチパネルディスプレイ21の全部がカバー本体3(正面板部33a)により覆われる。また、板部41が第2の位置に位置している状態では、閉状態においても、タッチパネルディスプレイ21の一部(タッチパネルディスプレイ21における上部)がカバー本体3から露出する。板部41が第2の位置に位置している状態では、スマートフォン2のカメラ部22のレンズ22aがカバー本体3よりも外側へ突出して、カメラ部22による撮像が可能になる。
The plate part 41 is slidably held by the slide mechanism 43 between a first position shown in FIG. 1A and a second position shown in FIG. 1B. In the state where the plate portion 41 is located at the first position, the entire back surface of the smartphone 2 is covered with the cover body 3 as shown in FIG. 2A. On the other hand, in the state where the plate portion 41 is located at the second position, the end portion on the back surface of the smartphone 2 protrudes outside the cover body 3 as shown in FIG. 2B. Further, in the state where the plate portion 41 is located at the first position, the entire touch panel display 21 of the smartphone 2 is covered with the cover body 3 (front plate portion 33a) in the above-described closed state. In the state where the plate portion 41 is located at the second position, a part of the touch panel display 21 (the upper portion in the touch panel display 21) is exposed from the cover body 3 even in the closed state. In a state where the plate part 41 is located at the second position, the lens 22a of the camera part 22 of the smartphone 2 protrudes outward from the cover body 3, and imaging by the camera part 22 becomes possible.
図4Bに示すバネ5は、磁力を有する金属製のバネである。バネ5は、ジグザグ形状をしており、その両端部がカールして輪状部5a,5bが形成されている。
バネ5は、板部41が第1の位置及び第2の位置に維持されるように板部41を位置決めする役割を担っている。具体的には、バネ5の一方の輪状部5aが、ベース431の小突起431aに引っ掛けられ、他方の輪状部5bが、板部41の小突起41aに引っ掛けられる。小突起431a,41aは、板部41がベース431の上下方向の中央部(つまりスライド移動可能な範囲における中央位置)に位置したときにバネ5が最短になるように設けられている。このため、バネ5は、ベース431の中央部よりも第1の位置に近い範囲では第1の位置側へ板部41を付勢し、中央部よりも第2の位置に近い範囲では第2の位置側へ板部41を付勢する。 Thespring 5 shown in FIG. 4B is a metal spring having a magnetic force. The spring 5 has a zigzag shape, and both ends thereof are curled to form ring-shaped portions 5a and 5b.
Thespring 5 plays a role of positioning the plate portion 41 so that the plate portion 41 is maintained at the first position and the second position. Specifically, one annular portion 5 a of the spring 5 is hooked on the small protrusion 431 a of the base 431, and the other annular portion 5 b is hooked on the small protrusion 41 a of the plate portion 41. The small protrusions 431a and 41a are provided so that the spring 5 is shortest when the plate portion 41 is located at the center in the vertical direction of the base 431 (that is, the center position in the range in which sliding is possible). For this reason, the spring 5 biases the plate portion 41 toward the first position in the range closer to the first position than the center portion of the base 431, and the second in the range closer to the second position than the center portion. The plate portion 41 is biased toward the position side.
バネ5は、板部41が第1の位置及び第2の位置に維持されるように板部41を位置決めする役割を担っている。具体的には、バネ5の一方の輪状部5aが、ベース431の小突起431aに引っ掛けられ、他方の輪状部5bが、板部41の小突起41aに引っ掛けられる。小突起431a,41aは、板部41がベース431の上下方向の中央部(つまりスライド移動可能な範囲における中央位置)に位置したときにバネ5が最短になるように設けられている。このため、バネ5は、ベース431の中央部よりも第1の位置に近い範囲では第1の位置側へ板部41を付勢し、中央部よりも第2の位置に近い範囲では第2の位置側へ板部41を付勢する。 The
The
また、板部41(スマートフォン2)がスライド移動することに伴い、スマートフォン2に対するバネ5の位置が変化する。ここでいう「位置が変化する」とは、その物体における少なくとも一点の位置が変化することをいう。つまり、その物体の重心の移動を伴わない回転も、ここでいう位置の変化に含まれる。
Also, as the plate part 41 (smartphone 2) slides, the position of the spring 5 with respect to the smartphone 2 changes. Here, “the position changes” means that the position of at least one point in the object changes. That is, the rotation that does not involve the movement of the center of gravity of the object is also included in the change in the position.
スマートフォン2がスライド移動することで、磁気センサ23に対するバネ5の位置が変化する。また本実施形態では、板部41が第1の位置に位置している状態よりも第2の位置に位置している状態の方がバネ5についての磁気センサ23の検出値が高くなるように、バネ5が設けられている。
The position of the spring 5 relative to the magnetic sensor 23 changes as the smartphone 2 slides. In the present embodiment, the detection value of the magnetic sensor 23 for the spring 5 is higher in the state where the plate portion 41 is located in the second position than in the state where the plate portion 41 is located in the first position. A spring 5 is provided.

Next, the slide interlocking process executed by the
このスライド連動アプリは、撮像モードとアルバムモードとの2つのモードを有しており、これらのモードが切替可能となっている。撮像モードは、カメラ部22による撮像を行うためのモードである。撮像モードでは、タッチパネルディスプレイ21に、カメラ部22のレンズ22aから見える風景が表示される。また、撮像モードは、タッチパネルディスプレイ21に、ソフトウェアボタンとして、撮像を行うシャッターボタン、画質やセルフタイマーの設定等を行う各種設定ボタン、及び、アルバムモードとの間でモードを切り替えるモード切替ボタンが表示される。
This slide-linked application has two modes, an imaging mode and an album mode, and these modes can be switched. The imaging mode is a mode for performing imaging by the camera unit 22. In the imaging mode, a landscape that can be seen from the lens 22 a of the camera unit 22 is displayed on the touch panel display 21. Also, the imaging mode is displayed on the touch panel display 21 as software buttons, such as a shutter button for imaging, various setting buttons for setting image quality, a self-timer, and the like, and a mode switching button for switching the mode between album modes. Is done.
一方、アルバムモードは、撮像した画像が表示されるモードである。アルバムモードでは、タッチパネルディスプレイ21に、撮像した画像の一覧、撮像した画像を編集するための各種設定ボタン及びモード切替ボタンが表示される。なお、スライド連動アプリの起動時には、モードはアルバムモードに設定される。
On the other hand, the album mode is a mode in which captured images are displayed. In the album mode, the touch panel display 21 displays a list of captured images, various setting buttons for editing the captured images, and a mode switching button. Note that when the slide-linked application is activated, the mode is set to the album mode.
S101で、制御部28は、通常操作が行われたか否かを判定する。制御部28は、タッチパネルディスプレイ21に表示された各種ソフトウェアボタンのいずれかが操作された場合に、通常操作が行われたと判定する。一方、制御部28は、各種ソフトウェアボタンのいずれも操作されていない場合に、通常操作が行われていないと判定する。制御部28は、通常操作が行われたと判定した場合に、処理をS102に移行させる。
In S101, the control unit 28 determines whether or not a normal operation has been performed. The control unit 28 determines that a normal operation has been performed when any of the various software buttons displayed on the touch panel display 21 is operated. On the other hand, the control unit 28 determines that the normal operation is not performed when none of the various software buttons is operated. When it is determined that the normal operation has been performed, the control unit 28 shifts the process to S102.
S102で、制御部28は、S101の操作内容に応じた通常処理を実行する。例えば、制御部28は、S101でシャッターボタンが操作されたと判定した場合に、カメラ部22に撮像を行わせる。制御部28は、S102の処理を実行すると、処理をS103に移行させる。
In S102, the control unit 28 executes normal processing according to the operation content in S101. For example, the control unit 28 causes the camera unit 22 to perform imaging when it is determined in S101 that the shutter button has been operated. When executing the process of S102, the control unit 28 shifts the process to S103.
一方、制御部28は、前述したS101で通常操作が行われていないと判定した場合に、前述したS102を飛ばして、処理をS103に移行させる。
S103で、制御部28は、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動したか否かを判定する。ここで、制御部28は、磁気センサ23の検出値に基づいて、スマートフォン2が移動したか否かを判定する。 On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal operation is not performed in S101 described above, thecontrol unit 28 skips S102 described above and shifts the process to S103.
In S103, thecontrol unit 28 determines whether the smartphone 2 has moved from the first position to the second position. Here, the control unit 28 determines whether the smartphone 2 has moved based on the detection value of the magnetic sensor 23.

具体的には、S101~S107の処理は、後述する終了操作が行われたと判定されるまで複数周期実行される。
そして、制御部28は、磁気センサ23の検出値が、1周期前のS103ではスライド判定しきい値未満であって、最新のS103では上記スライド判定しきい値以上である場合に、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動したと判定する。ここでいうスライド判定しきい値とは、所定のしきい値である。なお、1周期目のS103では、制御部28は、磁気センサ23の検出値に関係なく、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動していないと判定する。 Specifically, the processes of S101 to S107 are executed for a plurality of cycles until it is determined that an end operation described later has been performed.
Then, when the detected value of themagnetic sensor 23 is less than the slide determination threshold value in S103 one cycle before and is equal to or higher than the slide determination threshold value in the latest S103, the control unit 28 It determines with having moved to the 2nd position from the 1st position. Here, the slide determination threshold is a predetermined threshold. In S103 of the first cycle, the control unit 28 determines that the smartphone 2 has not moved from the first position to the second position regardless of the detection value of the magnetic sensor 23.
そして、制御部28は、磁気センサ23の検出値が、1周期前のS103ではスライド判定しきい値未満であって、最新のS103では上記スライド判定しきい値以上である場合に、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動したと判定する。ここでいうスライド判定しきい値とは、所定のしきい値である。なお、1周期目のS103では、制御部28は、磁気センサ23の検出値に関係なく、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動していないと判定する。 Specifically, the processes of S101 to S107 are executed for a plurality of cycles until it is determined that an end operation described later has been performed.
Then, when the detected value of the
また、このスライド判定しきい値は、バネ5の磁気及び地磁気以外の磁気による磁気センサ23への影響が無視できる状況において、スマートフォン2が第1の位置に位置している状態での磁気センサ23の検出値よりも高く、スマートフォン2が第2の位置に位置している状態での磁気センサ23の検出値よりも低くなるように設定される。
Further, the slide determination threshold value is the magnetic sensor 23 in a state where the smartphone 2 is located at the first position in a situation where the influence of the magnetism of the spring 5 and magnetism other than geomagnetism on the magnetic sensor 23 can be ignored. Is set to be lower than the detection value of the magnetic sensor 23 in a state where the smartphone 2 is located at the second position.
制御部28は、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動したと判定した場合に、処理をS104に移行させる。
S104で、制御部28は、所定の処理である第1の処理を実行する。本実施形態では、第1の処理は、スライド連動アプリの機能を実行する処理、具体的には、モードを撮像モードに切り替え、カメラ部22に撮像を行わせる処理である。つまり、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動し、カメラ部22のレンズ22aがカバー本体3から露出すると、自動的にモードが撮像モードに切り替えられ、カメラ部22による撮像が行われる。なお、最新のS104が実行される前にモード切替ボタンが操作されて既にモードが撮像モードである場合は、最新のS104の実行前後でモードは撮像モードのままである。制御部28は、S104の処理を実行すると、処理をS105に移行させる。 When thecontrol unit 28 determines that the smartphone 2 has moved from the first position to the second position, the control unit 28 shifts the process to S104.
In S104, thecontrol unit 28 executes a first process which is a predetermined process. In the present embodiment, the first process is a process for executing the function of the slide-linked application, specifically, a process for switching the mode to the imaging mode and causing the camera unit 22 to perform imaging. That is, when the smartphone 2 moves from the first position to the second position and the lens 22a of the camera unit 22 is exposed from the cover body 3, the mode is automatically switched to the imaging mode, and imaging by the camera unit 22 is performed. Is called. If the mode switching button is operated before the latest S104 is executed and the mode is already the imaging mode, the mode remains in the imaging mode before and after the latest S104 is executed. When executing the process of S104, the control unit 28 shifts the process to S105.
S104で、制御部28は、所定の処理である第1の処理を実行する。本実施形態では、第1の処理は、スライド連動アプリの機能を実行する処理、具体的には、モードを撮像モードに切り替え、カメラ部22に撮像を行わせる処理である。つまり、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動し、カメラ部22のレンズ22aがカバー本体3から露出すると、自動的にモードが撮像モードに切り替えられ、カメラ部22による撮像が行われる。なお、最新のS104が実行される前にモード切替ボタンが操作されて既にモードが撮像モードである場合は、最新のS104の実行前後でモードは撮像モードのままである。制御部28は、S104の処理を実行すると、処理をS105に移行させる。 When the

一方、制御部28は、前述したS103で、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動していないと判定した場合に、前述したS104を飛ばして、処理をS105に移行させる。
On the other hand, when it is determined in S103 described above that the smartphone 2 has not moved from the first position to the second position, the control unit 28 skips S104 described above and shifts the process to S105.
S105で、制御部28は、スマートフォン2が第2の位置から第1の位置に移動したか否かを判定する。ここで、制御部28は、磁気センサ23の検出値に基づいて、スマートフォン2が移動したか否かを判定する。
In S105, the control unit 28 determines whether or not the smartphone 2 has moved from the second position to the first position. Here, the control unit 28 determines whether the smartphone 2 has moved based on the detection value of the magnetic sensor 23.
具体的には、制御部28は、磁気センサ23の検出値が、1周期前のS103では前述したスライド判定しきい値以上であって、最新のS103ではスライド判定しきい値未満である場合に、スマートフォン2が第2の位置から第1の位置に移動したと判定する。なお、1周期目のS105では、制御部28は、磁気センサ23の検出値に関係なく、スマートフォン2が第2の位置から第1の位置に移動していないと判定する。制御部28は、スマートフォン2が第2の位置から第1の位置に移動したと判定した場合に、処理をS106に移行させる。
Specifically, the control unit 28 determines that the detection value of the magnetic sensor 23 is equal to or greater than the above-described slide determination threshold in S103 one cycle before and is less than the slide determination threshold in the latest S103. It is determined that the smartphone 2 has moved from the second position to the first position. In S105 in the first cycle, the control unit 28 determines that the smartphone 2 has not moved from the second position to the first position regardless of the detection value of the magnetic sensor 23. When it is determined that the smartphone 2 has moved from the second position to the first position, the control unit 28 causes the process to proceed to S106.
S106で、制御部28は、前述した第1の処理と異なる所定の処理である第2の処理を実行する。本実施形態では、第2の処理は、スライド連動アプリの機能を実行する処理であり、具体的には、モードをアルバムモードに切り替え、撮像した画像の一覧がタッチパネルディスプレイ21に表示されるアルバム表示を実行する処理である。つまり、スマートフォン2が第2の位置から第1の位置に移動し、カメラ部22のレンズ22aがカバー本体3に覆われると、自動的にモードがアルバムモードに切り替えられ、アルバム表示が行われる。なお、最新のS106が実行される前にモード切替ボタンが操作されて既にモードがアルバムモードである場合は、最新のS106の実行前後でモードはアルバムモードのままである。制御部28は、S106の処理を実行すると、処理をS107に移行させる。
In S106, the control unit 28 executes a second process which is a predetermined process different from the first process described above. In the present embodiment, the second process is a process for executing the function of the slide-linked application. Specifically, the mode is switched to the album mode, and an album display in which a list of captured images is displayed on the touch panel display 21. Is a process of executing. That is, when the smartphone 2 moves from the second position to the first position and the lens 22a of the camera unit 22 is covered with the cover main body 3, the mode is automatically switched to the album mode and album display is performed. If the mode switching button is operated before the latest S106 is executed and the mode is already the album mode, the mode remains in the album mode before and after the latest S106 is executed. When executing the process of S106, the control unit 28 shifts the process to S107.
一方、制御部28は、前述したS105で、スマートフォン2が第2の位置から第1の位置に移動していないと判定した場合に、前述したS106を飛ばして、処理をS107に移行させる。
On the other hand, when it is determined in S105 described above that the smartphone 2 has not moved from the second position to the first position, the control unit 28 skips S106 described above and shifts the process to S107.
S107で、制御部28は、終了操作が行われたか否かを判定する。制御部28は、スマートフォン2のホームボタン27aが操作された場合に、終了操作が行われたと判定する。
In S107, the control unit 28 determines whether or not an end operation has been performed. The control unit 28 determines that the end operation has been performed when the home button 27a of the smartphone 2 is operated.
このS107で、制御部28は、終了操作が行われたと判定した場合に、スライド連動処理を終了する。一方、制御部28は、終了操作が行われていないと判定した場合に、前述したS101に戻り、S101以降の処理を繰り返す。
In S107, when it is determined that the end operation has been performed, the control unit 28 ends the slide interlocking process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the end operation has not been performed, the control unit 28 returns to S101 described above and repeats the processing after S101.

スイッチ62は、スマートフォンのスライド移動に連動して切り替えられる。本実施形態では、スイッチ62は、ベース431に設けられている。スイッチ62は、板部41が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動すると板部41からの外力により押し込まれてオンの状態になる。また、スイッチ62は、板部41が第2の位置から第1の位置に移動すると板部41からの外力から解放されてオフの状態になる。
Switch 62 is switched in conjunction with the slide movement of the smartphone. In the present embodiment, the switch 62 is provided on the base 431. The switch 62 is turned on by being pushed by an external force from the plate portion 41 when the plate portion 41 moves from the first position to the second position. Further, the switch 62 is released from the external force from the plate portion 41 and is turned off when the plate portion 41 moves from the second position to the first position.
音声再生部63は、専用のICチップを備えて構成されており、スイッチ62の切替えに基づいて、所定の音をスピーカ61に出力させる。本実施形態では、スマートフォン2は、スリープ状態において、音声認識機能を起動させるための所定のキーワードが処理実行音としてマイク26に入力されると、スリープ状態から起動状態(具体的には音声操作を受け付ける音声操作状態)に遷移するように構成されている。音声再生部63は、板部41が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動してスイッチ62がオフの状態からオンの状態に切り替えられると、このキーワードの音声をスピーカ61に出力させる。このため、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動されると、そのキーワードの音声がスマートフォン2のマイク26に入力され、自動的にスマートフォン2がスリープ状態から起動状態に遷移する。
The audio playback unit 63 is configured with a dedicated IC chip, and causes the speaker 61 to output a predetermined sound based on the switching of the switch 62. In the present embodiment, when a predetermined keyword for activating the voice recognition function is input to the microphone 26 as a process execution sound in the sleep state, the smartphone 2 performs a voice operation from the sleep state (specifically, a voice operation). (Accepted voice operation state). When the plate unit 41 is moved from the first position to the second position and the switch 62 is switched from the off state to the on state, the sound reproducing unit 63 causes the speaker 61 to output the sound of the keyword. For this reason, when the smartphone 2 is moved from the first position to the second position, the voice of the keyword is input to the microphone 26 of the smartphone 2, and the smartphone 2 automatically transitions from the sleep state to the activated state.

本実施形態では、スマートフォン2は、マイク26に処理実行音が入力されることにより、スリープ状態から起動状態に遷移する処理を実行するように構成されている。また、スマートフォンカバー6は、スマートフォン2がカバー本体3に対して移動された場合に、処理実行音をスピーカ61に出力させることで、スマートフォン2により検出される、音の入力状態を変化させる。したがって、スマートフォン2をカバー本体3に対して移動させるだけで、スマートフォン2をスリープ状態から起動状態に遷移させることができる。
In the present embodiment, the smartphone 2 is configured to execute a process of transitioning from a sleep state to an activated state when a process execution sound is input to the microphone 26. In addition, the smartphone cover 6 changes the sound input state detected by the smartphone 2 by causing the speaker 61 to output a process execution sound when the smartphone 2 is moved with respect to the cover body 3. Therefore, the smartphone 2 can be changed from the sleep state to the activated state simply by moving the smartphone 2 with respect to the cover body 3.
特に、音声認識機能を標準の機能として有するスマートフォンは広く利用されているため、専用のアプリケーションを用いなくても、スライド移動に連動させてスマートフォンをスリープ状態から起動状態に遷移させることができる。

Since the basic configuration of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description of the common configuration will be omitted, and the description will focus on the differences.
第3実施形態のスマートフォン2は、第1実施形態と同一の構成である。第3実施形態のスマートフォン2には、第1実施形態と同様にスライド連動アプリがインストールされている。第3実施形態のスライド連動アプリは、基本的には第1実施形態のスライド連動アプリと同様のアプリであるが、スライド連動処理の内容が一部異なる。第3実施形態のスライド連動処理については後述する。
The smartphone 2 of the third embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment. Similar to the first embodiment, the slide-linked application is installed in the smartphone 2 of the third embodiment. The slide-linked application of the third embodiment is basically the same application as the slide-linked application of the first embodiment, but the contents of the slide-linked process are partially different. The slide interlocking process of the third embodiment will be described later.
一方、図7A及び図7Bに示す第3実施形態のスマートフォンカバー7は、NFCタグ71を更に備え、前述したバネ5に代えて第2実施形態と同様のバネ(つまり通常の金属製のバネ)を備える点で、第1実施形態と相違する。なお、図7A及び図7Bでは、NFCタグ71及びスマートフォン2のNFCアンテナ25は、透過して図示されている。
On the other hand, the smartphone cover 7 according to the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B further includes an NFC tag 71, and instead of the spring 5 described above, a spring similar to the second embodiment (that is, a normal metal spring). It differs from a 1st embodiment by a point provided with. 7A and 7B, the NFC tag 71 and the NFC antenna 25 of the smartphone 2 are illustrated in a transparent manner.
NFCタグ71は、スマートフォン2のNFCアンテナ25から発信される電波による電力で駆動することにより、NFCアンテナ25に所定の情報である処理実行情報を送信するためのタグである。NFCタグ71は、カバー本体3における上部に内蔵されており、板部41がスライド移動されてもカバー本体3におけるNFCタグ71の位置が変化しないように設けられている。その結果、NFCタグ71は、スマートフォン2のスライド移動に伴い、スマートフォン2に対する位置が変化する。
The NFC tag 71 is a tag for transmitting processing execution information, which is predetermined information, to the NFC antenna 25 by being driven by electric power generated by radio waves transmitted from the NFC antenna 25 of the smartphone 2. The NFC tag 71 is built in the upper part of the cover main body 3 and is provided so that the position of the NFC tag 71 in the cover main body 3 does not change even if the plate portion 41 is slid. As a result, the position of the NFC tag 71 relative to the smartphone 2 changes as the smartphone 2 slides.
また、図7Aに示すように、スマートフォン2が第1の位置に位置している状態では、NFCタグ71は、NFCアンテナ25とのNFC通信が行われない距離に位置する。一方、図7Bに示すように、スマートフォン2が第2の位置に位置している状態では、NFCタグ71は、NFCアンテナ25とのNFC通信が行われる距離に位置する。また、NFCタグ71は、スマートフォン2が第2の位置に位置し、NFCアンテナ25からの電波を受信している間は、NFCアンテナ25に対し処理実行情報を送信し続ける。
Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, in the state where the smartphone 2 is located at the first position, the NFC tag 71 is located at a distance where NFC communication with the NFC antenna 25 is not performed. On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 7B, the NFC tag 71 is located at a distance where NFC communication with the NFC antenna 25 is performed in a state where the smartphone 2 is located at the second position. Further, the NFC tag 71 continues to transmit process execution information to the NFC antenna 25 while the smartphone 2 is located at the second position and receives the radio wave from the NFC antenna 25.

The smartphone 2 of the fourth embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment. However, the above-described slide-linked application is not installed in the smartphone 2 according to the fourth embodiment.
また、第4実施形態のスマートフォン2は、カメラアプリの起動時において、イヤホンジャック24に接続されたイヤホンケーブルの音量調節ボタンがシャッターボタンとして機能するように構成されている。より詳細には、スマートフォン2は、イヤホンケーブルの音量調節ボタンが操作されてイヤホンジャック24に音量を調節するための信号(以下、音量調節信号)が入力されると、カメラ部22による撮像を行うように構成されている。
Also, the smartphone 2 of the fourth embodiment is configured such that the volume control button of the earphone cable connected to the earphone jack 24 functions as a shutter button when the camera application is activated. More specifically, the smartphone 2 performs imaging by the camera unit 22 when a volume adjustment button of the earphone cable is operated and a signal for adjusting the volume (hereinafter referred to as a volume adjustment signal) is input to the earphone jack 24. It is configured as follows.
一方、図8に示す第4実施形態のスマートフォンカバー8は、スマートフォン2のスライド移動に連動させてスマートフォン2にカメラ部22による撮像を行わせる。このスマートフォンカバー8は、音量調節信号が入力されることでカメラ部22による撮像を行うというスマートフォン2の機能を利用して、スマートフォン2にカメラ部22による撮像を行わせる。具体的には、スマートフォンカバー8は、スイッチ81、ケーブル82及び信号出力部83を更に備え、前述したバネ5に代えて第2実施形態と同様のバネを備える点で、第1実施形態と相違する。
On the other hand, the smartphone cover 8 of the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 8 causes the smartphone 2 to perform imaging by the smartphone 2 in conjunction with the slide movement of the smartphone 2. The smartphone cover 8 causes the smartphone 2 to perform imaging by the camera unit 22 by using a function of the smartphone 2 that performs imaging by the camera unit 22 when a volume adjustment signal is input. Specifically, the smartphone cover 8 further includes a switch 81, a cable 82, and a signal output unit 83, and is different from the first embodiment in that the smartphone cover 8 includes a spring similar to the second embodiment instead of the spring 5 described above. To do.
スイッチ81は、スマートフォン2のスライド移動に連動して切り替えられる。本実施形態では、スイッチ81は、第2実施形態のスイッチ62と同様にベース431に設けられている。スイッチ81は、板部41が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動するとオンの状態に切り替えられる。また、スイッチ81は、板部41が第2の位置から第1の位置に移動するとオフの状態に切り替えられる。
The switch 81 is switched in conjunction with the slide movement of the smartphone 2. In the present embodiment, the switch 81 is provided on the base 431 similarly to the switch 62 of the second embodiment. The switch 81 is switched to an on state when the plate portion 41 moves from the first position to the second position. The switch 81 is switched to an off state when the plate portion 41 moves from the second position to the first position.
ケーブル82は、スマートフォン2とスマートフォンカバー8とを電気的に接続するためのものである。ケーブル82の一端にはプラグが設けられており、このプラグがスマートフォン2のイヤホンジャック24に差し込まれる。
The cable 82 is for electrically connecting the smartphone 2 and the smartphone cover 8. A plug is provided at one end of the cable 82, and this plug is inserted into the earphone jack 24 of the smartphone 2.
信号出力部83は、専用のICチップを備えて構成されており、板部41が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動してスイッチ81がオンの状態に切り替えられると、音量調節信号をケーブル82に出力する。

[4-2.効果]
以上詳述した第4実施形態によれば、前述した第1実施形態の効果(1a)及び(1b)と同様の効果に加え、以下の効果が得られる。 [4-2. effect]
According to the fourth embodiment described in detail above, the following effects are obtained in addition to the effects (1a) and (1b) of the first embodiment described above.
以上詳述した第4実施形態によれば、前述した第1実施形態の効果(1a)及び(1b)と同様の効果に加え、以下の効果が得られる。 [4-2. effect]
According to the fourth embodiment described in detail above, the following effects are obtained in addition to the effects (1a) and (1b) of the first embodiment described above.
本実施形態では、ケーブル82を用いるため、スマートフォン2が状態変化を検出することができる確実性を向上させることができる。すなわち、例えば第2実施形態のようにスマートフォン2のスライド移動に連動させて音を出力する構成では、外部が騒がしい状況などではスマートフォン2が音を検出しづらい。換言すれば、スマートフォン2が状態変化を検出しづらい。これに対して、本実施形態では、スマートフォン2が移動された場合に、ケーブル82を介して音量調節信号がスマートフォン2に入力されることにより、スマートフォン2への信号の入力状態が変化される。したがって、音を出力する構成と比較して、外部状況に影響されずにスマートフォン2により検出される状態を変化させる。よって、スマートフォンカバー8によれば、スマートフォン2が状態変化を検出することができる確実性を向上させることができる。ひいては、スマートフォン2のスライド移動に連動して処理が実行される確実性を向上させることができる。
In this embodiment, since the cable 82 is used, it is possible to improve the certainty that the smartphone 2 can detect the state change. That is, for example, in the configuration in which sound is output in conjunction with the slide movement of the smartphone 2 as in the second embodiment, it is difficult for the smartphone 2 to detect sound in a situation where the outside is noisy. In other words, it is difficult for the smartphone 2 to detect the state change.

As mentioned above, although the form for implementing this indication was demonstrated, this indication is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can carry out various modifications.
(5a)上記第1,第3及び第4実施形態では、スマートフォン2のスライド移動に連動して実行されるアプリの機能はカメラ部22による撮像等である。すなわち、保持部4は、スマートフォン2を第1の位置と第2の位置との間で移動可能に保持する。第1の位置は、当該スマートフォン2の背面に設けられたカメラ部22のレンズ22aがカバー本体3により覆われる位置である。第2の位置は、レンズ22aがカバー本体3から露出する位置である。そして、スマートフォンカバー1,7,8は、スマートフォン2が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動された場合に、スマートフォン2により検出される状態を変化させることにより、レンズ22aを用いる処理としてカメラ部22による撮像等をスマートフォン2に実行させた。しかし、スマートフォンのスライド移動に連動して実行されるアプリの機能はこれに限られるものではない。例えば、スマートフォンのスライド移動に連動して、スマートフォンのフラッシュ用のライトを点灯させてもよい。
(5a) In the first, third, and fourth embodiments, the function of the application that is executed in conjunction with the slide movement of the smartphone 2 is imaging by the camera unit 22 or the like. That is, the holding unit 4 holds the smartphone 2 so as to be movable between the first position and the second position. The first position is a position where the lens 22 a of the camera unit 22 provided on the back surface of the smartphone 2 is covered by the cover body 3. The second position is a position where the lens 22 a is exposed from the cover body 3. The smartphone covers 1, 7, and 8 are cameras that perform processing using the lens 22 a by changing the state detected by the smartphone 2 when the smartphone 2 is moved from the first position to the second position. The smartphone 2 is caused to perform imaging by the unit 22. However, the function of the application executed in conjunction with the slide movement of the smartphone is not limited to this. For example, a flash light for a smartphone may be turned on in conjunction with the slide movement of the smartphone.
また、上記第1,第3及び第4実施形態では、スマートフォン2をスライド移動させることで、起動状態のスマートフォン2にカメラ部22による撮像等の所定のアプリの機能を実行させる。しかし、起動状態のスマートフォンに実行させる処理はこれに限られるものではない。
In the first, third, and fourth embodiments, the smartphone 2 is slid to cause the activated smartphone 2 to execute a predetermined application function such as imaging by the camera unit 22. However, the process executed by the activated smartphone is not limited to this.
例えば、スマートフォンカバーは、起動状態のスマートフォンにより検出される状態を変化させることにより、スマートフォンに所定のアプリを起動する処理を実行させてもよい。また、逆に、スマートフォンに所定のアプリを終了する処理を実行させてもよい。
For example, the smartphone cover may cause the smartphone to execute a process of starting a predetermined application by changing the state detected by the activated smartphone. Conversely, the smartphone may be caused to execute a process for ending a predetermined application.
具体的には例えば、スマートフォンが第1の位置から第2の位置にスライド移動した場合に、カメラアプリを起動する処理を実行させてもよい。また、スマートフォンが第2の位置から第1の位置にスライド移動した場合に、カメラアプリを終了する処理を実行させてもよい。つまり、前述したカメラ部22のレンズ22aを用いる処理は、カメラ部22による撮像に限られず、カメラアプリの起動などの、カメラ部22による撮像を行うための準備であってもよい。
Specifically, for example, when the smartphone slides from the first position to the second position, a process for starting the camera application may be executed. Further, when the smartphone slides from the second position to the first position, a process for terminating the camera application may be executed. That is, the process using the lens 22a of the camera unit 22 described above is not limited to imaging by the camera unit 22, but may be preparation for performing imaging by the camera unit 22 such as activation of a camera application.
このような構成によれば、起動状態のスマートフォンをカバー本体に対して移動させるだけで、スマートフォンに所定のアプリを起動又は終了させることができる。特に、カメラアプリなどの、スマートフォンカバーの装着時において利用するためにスマートフォンを第2の位置に移動させる必要があるアプリについては、スマートフォンの移動とアプリの起動とを同時に行うことができるため、手間を軽減することができる。
According to such a configuration, a predetermined application can be activated or terminated on the smartphone simply by moving the activated smartphone relative to the cover body. Especially for apps that require the smartphone to be moved to the second position in order to be used when the smartphone cover is attached, such as a camera app, it is possible to move the smartphone and start the application at the same time. Can be reduced.
また例えば、スマートフォンカバーは、起動状態のスマートフォンにより検出される状態を変化させることにより、スマートフォンに起動状態からスリープ状態に遷移する処理を実行させてもよい。このような構成によれば、起動状態のスマートフォンをカバー本体に対して移動させるだけで、起動状態からスリープ状態に遷移させることができる。
Further, for example, the smartphone cover may cause the smartphone to execute a process of transitioning from the activated state to the sleep state by changing the state detected by the activated smartphone. According to such a configuration, it is possible to transition from the activated state to the sleep state by simply moving the activated smartphone with respect to the cover body.
また例えば、スマートフォン2をスライド移動させることで、電源オフ状態又はスリープ状態のスマートフォン2に所定のアプリの機能を実行させてもよい。同様に、スマートフォン2をスライド移動させることで、電源オフ状態又はスリープ状態のスマートフォン2に所定のアプリを起動又は終了する処理を実行させてもよい。
For example, the smartphone 2 in the power-off state or the sleep state may be caused to execute a predetermined application function by sliding the smartphone 2. Similarly, a process of starting or ending a predetermined application may be executed on the smartphone 2 in the power-off state or the sleep state by sliding the smartphone 2.
また例えば、前述したように、スマートフォン2が第1の位置に位置している状態では、閉状態において、スマートフォン2のタッチパネルディスプレイ21の全部がカバー本体3(正面板部33a)により覆われる。一方、スマートフォン2が第2の位置に位置している状態では、閉状態においても、タッチパネルディスプレイ21の一部(タッチパネルディスプレイ21における上部)がカバー本体3から露出する。このことを利用して、例えばスマートフォンカバーは、スマートフォンが第1の位置から第2の位置に移動された場合に、スマートフォンにより検出される状態を変化させることにより、タッチパネルディスプレイにおけるカバー本体から露出している部分に所定の情報を表示する処理をスマートフォンに実行させてもよい。上記各実施形態では、タッチパネルディスプレイ21における上部が、タッチパネルディスプレイ21におけるカバー本体から露出している部分である。
For example, as described above, when the smartphone 2 is located at the first position, the entire touch panel display 21 of the smartphone 2 is covered with the cover body 3 (front plate portion 33a) in the closed state. On the other hand, in a state where the smartphone 2 is located at the second position, a part of the touch panel display 21 (an upper portion in the touch panel display 21) is exposed from the cover body 3 even in the closed state. Using this, for example, the smartphone cover is exposed from the cover body in the touch panel display by changing the state detected by the smartphone when the smartphone is moved from the first position to the second position. You may make a smart phone perform the process which displays predetermined | prescribed information in the part which has. In each said embodiment, the upper part in the touchscreen display 21 is a part exposed from the cover main body in the touchscreen display 21. FIG.
所定の情報として例えば、電話の着信があった場合に、発信者の情報が表示されてもよい。このような構成によれば、閉状態、具体的にはスマートフォンカバーが2つ折りにされた状態のままでも、スマートフォンをスライド移動させることで、タッチパネルディスプレイに表示された所定の情報を確認することができる。そして、スマートフォンカバーを2つ折りにした状態のままで、電話に出るか否かの判断等を行うことができる。また、この場合において例えば、スマートフォンを、当該スマートフォンを第2の位置から第1の位置にスライド移動させてカバー本体に収納することで、着信を拒否できる構成としてもよい。
As the predetermined information, for example, when there is an incoming call, the caller information may be displayed. According to such a configuration, it is possible to confirm predetermined information displayed on the touch panel display by sliding the smartphone even in a closed state, specifically, a state in which the smartphone cover is folded in half. it can. Then, it is possible to determine whether or not to answer the call while the smartphone cover is folded in two. In this case, for example, the smartphone may be configured to reject incoming calls by sliding the smartphone from the second position to the first position and storing the smartphone in the cover body.
また例えば、スマートフォンに電話が掛かっていないときなどにおいて、タッチパネルディスプレイにおけるカバー本体から露出する部分に、直近のスケジュール等が表示されるようにしてもよい。
Also, for example, when a phone call is not being made on the smartphone, the most recent schedule or the like may be displayed on the portion of the touch panel display exposed from the cover body.
(5b)上記第1実施形態では、磁力を有する部品としてバネ5を例示したが、磁力を有する部品はこれに限られるものではない。磁力を有する部品は、例えば、スマートフォン2のスライド移動に伴い磁気センサ23の検出値を変化させるためだけに別途カバー本体3に設けられた磁石等であってもよい。換言すれば、磁力を有する部品を設けるに当たり、板部41の位置決め等に使用される部品を流用しなくてもよい。
(5b) In the first embodiment, the spring 5 is exemplified as the component having magnetic force, but the component having magnetic force is not limited to this. The component having magnetic force may be, for example, a magnet or the like separately provided on the cover main body 3 only for changing the detection value of the magnetic sensor 23 as the smartphone 2 slides. In other words, in providing a component having magnetic force, it is not necessary to divert a component used for positioning the plate portion 41 or the like.
(5c)バネ5、ひいては磁力を有する部品の位置の変化の仕方は上記第1実施形態のものに限られるものではない。磁力を有する部品は例えば、カバー本体3に対して平行移動してもよい。同様に、NFCタグの位置の変化の仕方も上記第3実施形態のものに限られるものではない。
(5c) The method of changing the position of the spring 5 and thus the component having magnetic force is not limited to that of the first embodiment. For example, the component having magnetic force may be moved in parallel with respect to the cover body 3. Similarly, the method of changing the position of the NFC tag is not limited to that of the third embodiment.
(5d)上記第2実施形態では、音声再生部63は、スマートフォン2をスリープ状態から起動状態に遷移させるための処理実行音をスピーカ61に出力させるが、処理実行音はこれに限られるものではない。音声再生部は、例えば、処理実行音として、スマートフォン2に所定のアプリを起動する処理を実行させるための音声をスピーカに出力させてもよい。また例えば、音声再生部は、処理実行音として、スマートフォン2に所定のアプリの機能を実行させるための音声をスピーカに出力させてもよい。
(5d) In the second embodiment, the sound reproduction unit 63 causes the speaker 61 to output a process execution sound for causing the smartphone 2 to transition from the sleep state to the activated state. However, the process execution sound is not limited to this. Absent. For example, the sound reproducing unit may cause the speaker to output a sound for causing the smartphone 2 to execute a process of starting a predetermined application as the process execution sound. Further, for example, the sound reproducing unit may cause the speaker to output sound for causing the smartphone 2 to execute a function of a predetermined application as the process execution sound.
また、上記第2実施形態では、スマートフォンカバー6は、1種類の処理実行音のみ出力可能であるが、スマートフォンカバーが出力可能な処理実行音の種類はこれに限られるものではない。スマートフォンカバーは例えば、2種類以上の処理実行音を出力可能であってもよい。この場合において例えば、スマートフォンカバーは、音声再生部の設定等を変更することにより、スピーカから出力される処理実行音を変更可能であってもよい。また例えば、音声再生部の設定等を変更しなくても複数種類の処理実行音が出力されてもよい。具体的には例えば、上記各実施形態のようにスマートフォン2、ひいては携帯情報端末がカバー本体に対して複数種類の移動が可能である場合において、移動の種類に応じて異なる種類の処理実行音が出力されてもよい。ここでいう複数種類の移動とは、例えば、方向が異なる移動や、平行移動及び回転移動などを指す。
Moreover, in the said 2nd Embodiment, although the smart phone cover 6 can output only one type of process execution sound, the kind of process execution sound which a smart phone cover can output is not restricted to this. For example, the smartphone cover may be capable of outputting two or more types of process execution sounds. In this case, for example, the smartphone cover may be able to change the process execution sound output from the speaker by changing the setting of the sound reproduction unit or the like. Further, for example, a plurality of types of process execution sounds may be output without changing the settings of the audio playback unit. Specifically, for example, when the smartphone 2 and thus the portable information terminal can move a plurality of types with respect to the cover body as in each of the above-described embodiments, different types of processing execution sounds are generated depending on the type of movement. It may be output. The multiple types of movements referred to here indicate, for example, movements in different directions, parallel movement, rotational movement, and the like.
また例えば、スマートフォンひいては携帯情報端末は、前述したように、音声認識機能を作動させるための所定のキーワートが処理実行音としてマイクに入力されると、音声操作を受け付ける音声操作状態に遷移するように構成されているとする。この場合において、音声再生部は、携帯情報端末が移動された場合に、スピーカに、そのキーワードを第1の音声として出力させ、その後に、携帯情報端末に所定の処理を実行することを指示する音声を第2の音声として出力させてもよい。第2の音声は、例えば、所定のアプリの起動や、所定のアプリが有する所定の機能の実行など、具体的な操作内容を表す音声であってもよい。つまり、音声再生部が、複数の処理実行音を、間隔を空けて発することで、携帯情報端末に複数の処理を順に実行させるようにしてもよい。このようにすれば、例えば、携帯情報端末をスリープ状態から起動状態(具体的には音声操作状態)に遷移させ、その後にカメラアプリを起動させるといったことが可能となる。
In addition, for example, as described above, when a predetermined keyword for operating the voice recognition function is input to the microphone as a process execution sound, the smartphone and the portable information terminal may transition to a voice operation state in which a voice operation is accepted. Assume that it is configured. In this case, when the portable information terminal is moved, the voice reproduction unit causes the speaker to output the keyword as the first voice, and then instructs the portable information terminal to execute a predetermined process. The sound may be output as the second sound. The second sound may be a sound representing specific operation content such as activation of a predetermined application or execution of a predetermined function of the predetermined application. That is, the audio reproduction unit may cause the portable information terminal to sequentially execute a plurality of processes by emitting a plurality of process execution sounds at intervals. In this way, for example, the portable information terminal can be changed from the sleep state to the activated state (specifically, the voice operation state), and then the camera application can be activated.
このように、スマートフォンカバーを複数種類の処理実行音を出力可能な構成とすることで、スマートフォン2の音の入力状態の多様な変化を実現することできる。したがって、これに応じて、スマートフォン2に音の入力状態の変化に応じた複数種類の処理を実行させることができる。
Thus, by making the smartphone cover configured to output a plurality of types of processing execution sounds, various changes in the sound input state of the smartphone 2 can be realized. Therefore, according to this, the smart phone 2 can be made to perform the multiple types of process according to the change of the sound input state.
(5e)上記第2実施形態では、スマートフォンカバー6は、スマートフォン2がスライド移動された場合に、スマートフォンが標準的に有している機能である音声認識機能に働きかけることで、スマートフォン2に所定の処理を実行させた。しかし、スマートフォン、ひいては携帯情報端末に処理を実行させる方法はこれに限られるものではない。例えば、上記第1及び第3実施形態のように、インストールされた専用のアプリに働きかけることで、携帯情報端末に所定の処理を実行させてもよい。
(5e) In the second embodiment, when the smartphone 2 is slid, the smartphone cover 6 acts on the voice recognition function, which is a function that the smartphone has as a standard function. The process was executed. However, the method of causing the smartphone, and thus the portable information terminal, to execute processing is not limited to this. For example, as in the first and third embodiments, the mobile information terminal may be caused to execute a predetermined process by working on an installed dedicated application.
(5f)上記第3実施形態では、スマートフォン2のスライド移動に伴いNFC通信が行われている状態と行われていない状態とが切り替えられることにより、スマートフォン2により検出される状態が変化される。しかし、NFC通信を用いてスマートフォン2により検出される状態を変化させる構成はこれに限られるものではない。
(5f) In the third embodiment, the state detected by the smartphone 2 is changed by switching between a state where NFC communication is performed and a state where the NFC communication is not performed as the smartphone 2 slides. However, the configuration for changing the state detected by the smartphone 2 using NFC communication is not limited to this.
例えば、NFCタグを、スマートフォンカバーがスマートフォン2に装着されている状態においてNFCアンテナ25と常時NFC通信を行うように設ける。そして、スマートフォン2の移動に連動して切り替えられるスイッチ等を用いて、スマートフォン2の移動に連動してNFCタグから送信される情報の内容が変更されてもよい。
For example, the NFC tag is provided so as to always perform NFC communication with the NFC antenna 25 in a state where the smartphone cover is attached to the smartphone 2. And the content of the information transmitted from an NFC tag may be changed in connection with the movement of the smart phone 2 using the switch etc. which are switched in response to the movement of the smart phone 2.
また例えば、スマートフォンカバーは、NFCアンテナ25からの電波を遮蔽する遮蔽部材を備えていてもよい。具体的には、遮蔽部材は、スマートフォンの移動に伴い、NFCタグを覆う位置と、NFCタグを覆わない位置と、の間で移動するように設けられていてもよい。この構成では、NFCタグが遮蔽部材により覆われている状態では、NFCタグがNFCアンテナ25からの電波を受信せず、処理実行情報をNFCアンテナ25に送信しない。一方、NFCタグが遮蔽部材により覆われていない状態では、NFCタグがNFCアンテナ25からの電波を受信し、処理実行情報をNFCアンテナ25に送信する。
For example, the smartphone cover may include a shielding member that shields radio waves from the NFC antenna 25. Specifically, the shielding member may be provided so as to move between a position covering the NFC tag and a position not covering the NFC tag as the smartphone moves. In this configuration, in a state where the NFC tag is covered with the shielding member, the NFC tag does not receive the radio wave from the NFC antenna 25 and does not transmit the processing execution information to the NFC antenna 25. On the other hand, in a state where the NFC tag is not covered by the shielding member, the NFC tag receives radio waves from the NFC antenna 25 and transmits processing execution information to the NFC antenna 25.
例えば、上記実施形態の板部41に、前述した遮蔽部材としての機能を持たせてもよい。具体的には、板部が第1の位置に位置している状態において、当該板部により覆われる位置にNFCタグを設ける。このNFCタグは、板部が移動してもその位置が変わらないように設けられる。このような構成によれば、板部が第1の位置から第2の位置に移動されるとNFCタグが露出し、NFCタグがNFCアンテナ25からの電波を受信できるようにすることができる。
For example, the plate portion 41 of the above embodiment may have the function as the above-described shielding member. Specifically, the NFC tag is provided at a position covered by the plate portion in a state where the plate portion is located at the first position. The NFC tag is provided so that its position does not change even if the plate portion moves. According to such a configuration, the NFC tag is exposed when the plate portion is moved from the first position to the second position, and the NFC tag can receive radio waves from the NFC antenna 25.
また、上記第3実施形態では、スマートフォン2は、NFCタグ71からの処理実行情報の受信の有無に基づいて、所定の処理を実行する。換言すれば、処理実行情報は、当該情報がNFCタグ71から送信された情報であることを識別可能なレベルの情報であればよい。しかしながら、NFCタグ71から送信される情報はこれに限られるものではなく、当該情報は例えば、携帯情報端末に実行させる処理を特定するような、より精細な情報であってもよい。
In the third embodiment, the smartphone 2 performs a predetermined process based on whether or not the process execution information is received from the NFC tag 71. In other words, the process execution information may be information of a level that can identify that the information is information transmitted from the NFC tag 71. However, the information transmitted from the NFC tag 71 is not limited to this, and the information may be, for example, more detailed information that specifies processing to be executed by the portable information terminal.
(5g)上記第4実施形態では、ケーブル82はスマートフォンカバー8の一部であるが、スマートフォンカバーの構成はこれに限られるものではない。例えば、スマートフォンカバーとケーブルとは別体であってもよい。換言すれば、ケーブルは、スマートフォンカバーに着脱可能に接続されてもよい。
(5g) In the fourth embodiment, the cable 82 is a part of the smartphone cover 8, but the configuration of the smartphone cover is not limited to this. For example, the smartphone cover and the cable may be separate. In other words, the cable may be detachably connected to the smartphone cover.
(5h)上記各実施形態では、スマートフォンカバー1,6~8は、スマートフォン2により検出される状態を変化させるように構成されている。より詳細には、スマートフォンカバー1,6~8は、スマートフォン2が備えるセンサにより検出される状態を変化させるように構成されている。センサとは、磁気、音、特定の電波、光、加速度、高度、圧力などの物理量を検出し、電気信号に変換する機能を有する装置を意味する。例えば、センサには、磁気を検出する磁気センサ23、音を検出するマイク26、特定の電波を検出する電波センサ(例えばNFCアンテナ25)、光を検出する光センサ(例えばカメラ部22)、加速度を検出する加速度センサ、高度を検出する高度センサ、圧力を検出する圧力センサなどが含まれる。これらのうち、上記各実施形態では、磁気センサ23により検出される、磁気の状態等が変化されたが、スマートフォンカバーが変化させる、スマートフォンにより検出される状態はこれに限られるものではない。
(5h) In the above embodiments, the smartphone covers 1, 6 to 8 are configured to change the state detected by the smartphone 2. More specifically, the smartphone covers 1 and 6 to 8 are configured to change a state detected by a sensor included in the smartphone 2.

例えば、スマートフォンは、所定の光である処理実行光を検出する光センサ(例えばカメラ部22)を備え、当該光センサにより処理実行光が検出されることにより所定の処理を実行するように構成される。そして、スマートフォンカバーは、処理実行光を出力する発光体(例えばLED)を備え、スマートフォンの移動に連動して切り替えられるスイッチの切替えに基づいて、発光体に処理実行光を出力させてもよい。このような構成によれば、スマートフォンにより検出される、光の入力状態を変化させることで、スマートフォンに所定の処理を実行させるができる。
For example, a smartphone includes an optical sensor (for example, the camera unit 22) that detects processing execution light that is predetermined light, and is configured to execute predetermined processing when the processing execution light is detected by the optical sensor. The The smartphone cover may include a light emitter (for example, LED) that outputs process execution light, and may cause the light emitter to output process execution light based on switching of a switch that is switched in conjunction with the movement of the smartphone. According to such a structure, a smart phone can be made to perform a predetermined | prescribed process by changing the input state of the light detected by a smart phone.
また例えば、スマートフォンは、Bluetooth(登録商標。以下、BT。)通信を行うためのアンテナである端末側BTアンテナを備え、端末側BTアンテナを介して所定の情報であるBT処理実行情報を受信することにより所定の処理を実行するように構成される。そして、スマートフォンカバーは、端末側BTアンテナとBT通信可能なアンテナであるカバー側BTアンテナを備え、スマートフォンの移動に連動して切り替えられるスイッチの切替えに基づいて、カバー側BTアンテナにBT処理実行情報を送信させてもよい。このような構成によれば、スマートフォンにより検出される、情報の受信状態を変化させることで、スマートフォンに所定の処理を実行させるができる。
In addition, for example, the smartphone includes a terminal-side BT antenna that is an antenna for performing Bluetooth (registered trademark, hereinafter referred to as BT) communication, and receives BT processing execution information that is predetermined information via the terminal-side BT antenna. Thus, a predetermined process is executed. The smartphone cover includes a cover-side BT antenna that is an antenna capable of performing BT communication with the terminal-side BT antenna, and performs BT processing execution information on the cover-side BT antenna based on switching of a switch that is switched in conjunction with movement of the smartphone. May be transmitted. According to such a structure, a smart phone can be made to perform a predetermined | prescribed process by changing the reception state of the information detected by a smart phone.
また例えば、スマートフォンは、当該スマートフォンの加速度を検出する加速度センサを備え、加速度センサの検出値に基づいて、自身がカバー本体に対して移動されたことを検出してもよい。そして、スマートフォンは、自身がカバー本体に対して移動されたことを検出した場合に、所定の処理を実行するように構成されていてもよい。このような構成によれば、スマートフォンにより検出される、加速の状態を変化させることで、スマートフォンに所定の処理を実行させることができる。また、スマートフォンは例えば、当該スマートフォンが移動後の位置に停止する直前に発生する、移動と逆方向に作用する加速度を検出することにより、自身が移動されたことを検出してもよい。
Also, for example, the smartphone may include an acceleration sensor that detects the acceleration of the smartphone, and may detect that it has moved relative to the cover body based on the detection value of the acceleration sensor. And the smart phone may be comprised so that a predetermined | prescribed process may be performed, when detecting that self is moved with respect to the cover main body. According to such a structure, a smart phone can be made to perform a predetermined | prescribed process by changing the state of acceleration detected by a smart phone. In addition, for example, the smartphone may detect that it has moved by detecting an acceleration that occurs in a direction opposite to the movement that occurs immediately before the smartphone stops at the position after the movement.
また、スマートフォンは、加速度センサと、磁気センサ23などの他のセンサと、を併用して、自身がカバー本体に対して移動されたことを検出してもよい。このような構成によれば、他のセンサのみを用いる構成と比較して、スマートフォンの移動の検出精度を向上させることができる。
Further, the smartphone may detect that it has moved relative to the cover body by using the acceleration sensor and another sensor such as the magnetic sensor 23 in combination. According to such a structure, the detection accuracy of the movement of a smart phone can be improved compared with the structure using only another sensor.
