Therefore, the caller can secure a private space that is not exposed to another person's line of sight without refusing a call with video, and has an advantage that the caller's psychological burden can be reduced.

  In addition, when generating a video to be transmitted as a substitute for the caller's video, if the image information used as material is selectively edited based on the regulation information, the caller can change the regulation information as appropriate according to the content of the call. This makes it possible to change the content of the moving image. In other words, there is an advantage that it is possible to generate a moving image suitable as an alternative to a video image that conveys a caller's facial expression change or the like.

  In addition, it is possible to take a form in which the above-mentioned regulation information is transmitted instead of a moving picture on the premise that image information as a material is shared with a communication terminal or a relay device of the other party. In this case, there is an advantage that the transmission source mobile communication terminal is released from the processing load for moving image generation and the transmission amount is also reduced. The moving image generation process may be performed by the communication terminal or relay device of the other party.

  Further, when the movement of the casing of the mobile communication terminal is detected and the time-series information of the movement satisfies a predetermined time-series condition, the predetermined regulation information corresponding to the time-series condition is acquired. The moving image can be changed in conjunction with the movement of the character, and there is an advantage that a change in the facial expression of the character in the moving image can be realized without key input or the like.

  The antenna 401 is an antenna for receiving a radio signal from a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite. The GPS receiving unit 402 demodulates the radio signal received from the GPS satellite, and calculates the position represented by the latitude and longitude of the mobile phone 1 (more altitude in the case of the three-dimensional mode) based on the demodulated radio signal. Is.

  The acceleration sensors 510-1 to 510-3 detect accelerations in the X and Y axis directions, and are installed at positions separated from each other in the longitudinal direction of the casing made up of the terminal units 1-1 and 1-2. If the hinge part 1-3 side of the terminal unit 1-1 is the upper part and the opposite side is the lower part, the acceleration sensor 510-1 is installed in the lower part of the terminal unit 1-1. The acceleration sensor 510-2 is installed at the hinge portion 1-3 or in the vicinity thereof. The acceleration sensor 510-3 is installed in the upper part of the terminal unit 1-2 if the hinge part 1-3 side of the terminal unit 1-2 is a lower part and the opposite side is an upper part. In this embodiment, the acceleration sensors 510-1 to 510-3 detect the gravitational acceleration components in the X and Y axis directions, and detect the inclination from the DC component of the output and the vibration from the AC component.

  The magnetic sensor unit 520 includes magnetic sensors 521-1 to 521-3, a temperature sensor 522, and a sensor control unit 523. The magnetic sensor unit 520 is incorporated into one package and formed into one chip. The magnetic sensors 521-1 to 521-3 detect the magnetism (magnetic field) in the axial directions of the X, Y, and Z axes orthogonal to each other and output the magnetic field data. The temperature sensor 522 detects the ambient temperature in order to perform temperature compensation of the magnetic sensors 521-1 to 521-3. The sensor control unit 523 performs data processing on detection outputs of the magnetic sensors 521-1 to 521-3, the temperature sensor 522, and the acceleration sensors 510-1 to 510-3.

  The main control unit 601 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that controls main control of the mobile phone 1. A ROM (Read Only Memory) 602 and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 603 are memories that constitute a main memory of the main control unit 601. The ROM 602 holds various types of information (described later) serving as materials for creating a program and animation for the main control unit 601. The RAM 603 provides an area for storing data and the like used during operation by the CPU.

  The notification unit 303 includes a speaker, a vibrator, a light emitting diode, and the like, and notifies the user of an incoming call or mail reception by sound, vibration, light, or the like. The clock unit 304 is a time measuring function unit used by the main control unit 601. The main operation unit 305 has a numeric keypad and function keys, and takes a user's instruction input and gives it to the main control unit 601. The image changeover switch 306 is a push switch that changes whether an image to be transmitted to the other party's mobile phone is an image captured from an electronic camera unit 307 (to be described later) or an animation.

  The electronic camera unit 307 includes an imaging element such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) and an optical system such as a lens, and constitutes a main part of the electronic camera function. The optical system of the electronic camera unit 307 can capture an image with the caller himself as a subject. In addition, the electronic camera unit 307 has a buffer memory (not shown) that temporarily stores captured images, and can capture continuous images by capturing images and storing them in the buffer memory at predetermined time intervals. It is possible.

  The display unit 308 is a liquid crystal display (LCD) that displays images, characters, and the like based on display signals input from the main control unit. The touch panel 309 is incorporated in the surface of the liquid crystal display of the display unit 308 and outputs a signal representing the input content by the user's contact operation to the main control unit 601.

  Next, the operation of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile phone 1 transmits voice and an image to the radio base station 2. When the wireless base station 2 receives the data from the mobile phone 1 and confirms the communication destination telephone number, the wireless base station 2 transmits the data to the wireless base station 2a capable of communicating with the communication destination mobile phone 1a via the network 10. When the wireless base station 2a receives the data from the wireless base station 2 and confirms the communication destination telephone number, the wireless base station 2a transmits the data to the communication destination mobile phone 1a. The cellular phone 1a processes the received data to reproduce sound and display images. On the other hand, the data transmitted from the mobile phone 1a reaches the mobile phone 1 via the radio base station 2a, the network 10, and the radio base station 2. The cellular phone 1 processes the received data to reproduce sound and display images. In this way, a videophone call is made by repeating voice and image transmission / reception between mobile phones via the radio base stations 2, 2 a and the network 10.

  Next, processing of the main control unit 601 in the mobile phone 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 4, when the power of the mobile phone 1 is turned on, a higher-level program is started, and a process for initializing and starting up each part of the mobile phone 1 including the main control unit 601 is executed (step S401). When this initialization process ends, it is determined whether or not the call button has been pressed to start a videophone call (step S402). If the call button has been pressed, the call process is performed (step S403). In this call processing, a telephone number set by the user is input, and the telephone number is transmitted to establish communication with the other party's mobile phone 1a. When the call processing is completed, the process proceeds to image processing, and the image received from the other party's mobile phone 1a is displayed and the image is transmitted on the own device (mobile phone 1) (step S404). Since audio transmission / reception may be the same as a conventional method taken between mobile phones, an explanation will be given below regarding image transmission / reception.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the above-described image processing. First, an image received from the other party's mobile phone 1a is processed and displayed on the screen 701 of the display unit 308 (step S501). Next, the setting of the image changeover switch 306 is confirmed (step S502). Based on this setting, either an image of the caller or an animation is selected as an image that the own device transmits to the other party's mobile phone 1a.

  That is, for example, when the image changeover switch 306 that takes two states of opening and closing is in a state indicating a setting for displaying a caller's video, the main control unit 601 selects a video mode. In this video mode, the video captured from the electronic camera unit 307 is processed and displayed on the screen 702 of the display unit 308 (step S503). It is assumed as a normal usage pattern that the video captured at this time is the video of the caller himself. Also, the video is transmitted to the other party's mobile phone 1a, and the series of processing ends (step S504).

  On the other hand, in the case of setting to display an alternative animation instead of the video of the caller, the main control unit 601 selects an animation mode. In this animation mode, a predetermined animation is transmitted to the other party's mobile phone 1a instead of the caller's video. The animation to transmit can take the form provided by the main control part 601 producing | generating in real time, for example.

  The generation of the animation is performed based on the information regarding the animation stored in the ROM 602 in advance. The information related to the animation includes material information that is a material of the image, and regulation information that specifies the animation by instructing how to select and handle the material information. The material information includes character information corresponding to the character's face and body part, auxiliary material information corresponding to the character's clothes and background, and the like. Character information is prepared for a plurality of preset characters, and is prepared as a continuous image depicting various facial expressions and actions of the character. On the other hand, the regulation information includes a motion selection command for selecting a facial expression and motion in addition to a basic selection command such as which character to select and what clothing to select.

  The main control unit 601 reads regulation information registered in advance by the caller from the RAM 603. If there is missing information, it is supplemented with default information. Animation processing is executed based on the read regulation information, and predetermined animation information is synthesized, for example, to generate an animation, that is, a moving image showing the movement of the character. The generated animation is transmitted to the other party's mobile phone 1a as an alternative to the caller's video.

  Therefore, when the caller wants to make a call but does not want to transmit the video of the caller when there is an incoming videophone call or a communication request, the caller operates the image changeover switch 306 to set the animation mode. It is possible to receive a videophone call with a form of transmitting animation as a substitute for the caller's video. It is possible to take a usage form such as setting the animation mode in advance in a private scene such as at home. It is also possible to use a timer function so that the animation mode is automatically set at night. If this function for switching to an animation mode is assumed, there is an advantage that a videophone function by a mobile phone can be used without the psychological burden of exposing a private scene to another person's line of sight.

  The animation transmitted to the other party's mobile phone 1a is preferably capable of expressing the caller's intention because of the nature of the substitute for the caller's video. In particular, the animation can be expressed in real time according to the content of the conversation. It is desirable to have a function that can be changed. In this embodiment, the request information is dealt with by making it possible to input the rule information for instructing the action selection among the animation rule information described above with a simple operation during a call.

  That is, when transmitting the created animation, the main control unit 601 first takes in the output data of the magnetic sensor and the acceleration sensor as time-series information and stores the time-series information in the RAM 603 in order to define the motion information of the animation (Step 601). S505, step S506). Here, the ROM 602 holds in advance the time series conditions of the movement of the housing corresponding to the animation operation regulations.

  The main control unit 601 performs processing for checking the time series condition against the above time series information, and searches for a location that matches the time series condition (step S507). As such collation processing, various existing methods such as pattern recognition processing using a digital filter can be employed. To give a simple explanation by way of example, for example, the mounting positions of the acceleration sensors 510-1 to 510-3 are upper, middle, and lower, respectively, the large, medium, and small components of the upper, middle, and lower components are the antecedent part, and the corresponding prescribed information is the consequent. A conditional expression for the part is set in advance.

  As an example of the conditional expression, if conditional expression 1 “the movement of the Y-axis component above is large and repeats fluctuations, everything else is small (the terminal unit 1-1 is fixed and the terminal unit 1-2 is swung). Conditional expression 2 “In the X-axis component in the expression 2”, the movement of the X-axis component repeats a large fluctuation and everything else is small. If it is rotated around part 1-3), it is a dance. "Conditional expression 3" The movement of the upper X-axis component is large, the middle X-axis component is medium, the lower X-axis component is small and repeats fluctuation. " If the others are all small (swing left and right with the lower part of the terminal unit 1-1 as the center), sway your hand. " The form to register is preferable.

  In addition, conditional expression 4 “the movement of the X-axis component on the top is moderately fast, the middle X-axis component is small and repeats the fluctuations fast, and everything else is small (swaying from side to side centering on the lower part of the terminal unit 1-1). It is also possible to register not only the character's movement, but also regulation information for designating the facial expression, such as “smile if you move”. Furthermore, conditional expression 5 “contents combining conditional expressions 3 and 4”, the movement of the upper X-axis component is large and medium, the middle X-axis component repeats medium and small fluctuations, and everything else is small (terminal unit 1-1 It is also possible to register prescribed information that combines movement and facial expression, such as “washes with a smile if the rocker swings so that the amplitude repeats large and middle in the left and right directions centering on the lower part of the head.”

  The detected outputs on the X and Y axes of the acceleration sensors 510-1 to 510-3 are distinguished from large, medium and small components of the X and Y axes with respect to movement and speed through a predetermined digital filter. The degree of establishment of the part is evaluated. Then, the establishment degree of the consequent part of the conditional expression is evaluated from the establishment degree of the antecedent part by, for example, the minimum maximum centroid method. In this way, when the time series information is collated with the time series condition and a part satisfying the time series condition is found, the animation defining information corresponding to the time series condition is selected, and the result is stored in the RAM 603 ( Step S508). Next, animation processing is performed by performing animation processing such as masking facial expressions (smiles) and clothes on the basic information of the selected animation (such as a specific character waving) (step S509). ). Finally, the generated animation is transmitted to the partner mobile phone 1a, and the series of processes is terminated (step S511).

  Further, when the movement of the casing of the mobile communication terminal is detected and the time-series information of the movement satisfies a predetermined time-series condition, the predetermined regulation information corresponding to the time-series condition is acquired. The moving image can be changed in conjunction with the movement of the character, and there is an advantage that a change in the facial expression of the character in the moving image can be realized without key input or the like.

  In addition to the information prepared in advance at the time of shipment, the user can register an arbitrary time series condition and associate a desired action, facial expression, and the like. In this case, on the screen for registering the time series condition, a bar graph indicator indicating the current inclination and the degree of movement may be displayed on the display unit 308 so that it can be referred to during registration.

  FIG. 6 is an example of an image output to the display unit 308 of the mobile phone 1. An image 701 displayed on the screen is an image received from the other mobile phone 1 a and is displayed in a small size on the lower right of the screen. The image 702 that is displayed is a moving image generated by the mobile phone 1. FIG. 7 is an example of an image output to the display unit of the other party's mobile phone 1a. A large image is displayed on the screen, and a video transmitted from his / her mobile phone 1 is displayed at the lower right. It is a video of the other party.

  When the image processing (step S404 in FIG. 4) ends, it is determined whether to continue the call or to end the call (step S405). If the call is to be terminated, the main control unit 601 returns to the stage of determining the start of the videophone (step S405: Yes). On the other hand, when the call is continued, the process returns to the call process (step S403), and thereafter step S403 and step S404 are repeatedly executed.

Next explained is the second embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an outline of the mobile phone 11 and the radio base station 12 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, basic information, facial expressions, and information on motion designation of animation are stored in the storage unit 803 in the radio base station 12. The storage unit of the mobile phone 11 holds an identifier (ID) corresponding to the image held in the radio base station 12, and the mobile phone 11 displays this identifier in a setting for displaying an image that is a substitute for the video of the caller. Transmission is performed from the transmission unit 210 to the radio base station 12. The radio base station 12 receives the identifier at the reception unit 801 and outputs the identifier to the moving image generation unit 802. The moving image generation unit 802 generates a moving image from the received identifier and the animation information held in the storage unit 803, and transmits the moving image from the transmission unit 804 to the counterpart mobile phone.

  In the second embodiment, since it is not necessary to store character image information in the mobile phone 11, the storage capacity required for the mobile phone 11 can be reduced. In addition, in the setting for displaying a moving image as a substitute for the caller's video, an identifier having a smaller amount of information compared to the moving image is transmitted to the radio base station 12, and the amount of information flowing on the network is reduced. .

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, but the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and includes a design and the like within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, although the main control unit 601 (see FIG. 1) has been described as a CPU type processor, specifically, a configuration in which BBP (Base Band Processor) or BBP is used as a main and a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is combined as a sub, or the like. Can be taken.

  The program incorporated in the BBP or DSP can be recorded and distributed on a computer-readable recording medium, and may be distributed in a form that realizes a part of the functions. For example, it may be distributed in the form of application software using basic functions provided by an OS (operation system). Further, it is possible to adopt a form in which a predetermined function can be realized in combination with a program of an existing system already recorded in a computer system, that is, a so-called differential program.

  The computer-readable recording medium includes a storage device such as a hard disk and other nonvolatile storage devices in addition to a storage medium such as a portable magnetic disk and a magneto-optical disk. Furthermore, the form provided from another computer system via arbitrary transmission media, such as the internet and other networks, may be sufficient. In this case, the “computer-readable recording medium” includes a medium that holds a program for a certain period of time in a transmission medium such as a volatile memory inside a computer system serving as a host or client on a network.

  In addition, although a configuration in which the control unit is constructed by a coprocessor system such as BBP or DSP has been described, a configuration in which at least a part of the processor is constructed by Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is also possible. In this case, the distribution of the circuit program information to be incorporated into the FPGA can take various forms in the same manner as the distribution of the program.
