  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

(1) Configuration of Information Display System First, the functional configuration of the information display system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram for explaining an overall functional configuration of an information display system 10 according to the present embodiment. The information display system 10 is a system including a terminal 1 capable of displaying activation icons (for example, shortcut icons) of a plurality of applications, and a server 2 capable of communicating with the terminal 1.

  Here, the terminal 1 is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a mobile phone that can download and install functions of an application from the outside (for example, the server 2 or the like). The server 2 is a device managed by, for example, a mobile communication carrier. A communication network (not shown) exists between the terminal 1 and the server 2, and this communication network is a mobile telephone communication network, a wireless LAN communication network, the Internet (public IP network), a simple mobile phone (PHS). ) A communication network composed of a network or the like.

(2) Configuration of Terminal 1 Subsequently, the configuration of the terminal 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. FIG. 2 is a physical configuration diagram for explaining an outline of the main physical configuration of the terminal 1.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal 1 includes a CPU 101 (Central Processing Unit), a RAM 102 (Random Access Memory), a ROM 103 (Read Only Memory), an operation unit 104, a wireless communication unit 105, as main physical components. This is a portable computer terminal configured by hardware such as a display 106 and an antenna 107. When these components operate, each function of the terminal 1 is exhibited.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal 1 includes, as main functional components, an application activation determination unit 11 (acquisition unit), a position information acquisition unit 12 (acquisition unit), and a spot information acquisition unit 13 (acquisition unit). , A terminal database 14 (calculation means), a priority order calculation section 15 (calculation means), a display section 16 (display means), and a spot information editing instruction transmission section 17 (change means).

  The application activation determination unit 11 is a sensor portion that receives an activation notification signal from an application (or a module that manages the application) when the application is activated in the terminal 1. When receiving the activation notification signal, the application activation determining unit 11 detects that the application has been activated.

  The position information acquisition unit 12 is a positioning processing part that performs positioning of the terminal 1 and acquires current location information regarding the current position of the terminal 1 when the application activation determination unit 11 detects activation of the application. This current location information is, for example, information including latitude and longitude and current time information indicating the current time. The positioning of the terminal 1 is performed using a signal from a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite, for example. When the positioning of the terminal 1 is completed, the position information acquisition unit 12 outputs the current location information of the terminal 1 to the spot information acquisition unit 13.

  The spot information acquisition unit 13 transmits the current location information of the terminal 1 input from the position information acquisition unit 12 to the server 2 to inquire the server 2 for spot information for identifying the spot where the terminal 1 exists, and acquire the communication. It is a processing part. The spot information acquisition unit 13 acquires spot information from the server 2 by causing the server 2 to collate current location information with map information. Here, the spot where the terminal 1 exists is the detail of the kind of place where the terminal 1 exists.

  This spot information specifies a type of a place narrower than the “area” described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-146286, and as an example, whether it is a station premises, a shopping center, a pub indoors, or a home Or information specifying in detail to the extent that it is in a train. When the spot information acquisition unit 13 acquires the spot information, the spot information acquisition unit 13 writes it as application activation information in the terminal database 14 in association with (attached to) application specifying and time information described later.

  The terminal database 14 is a database that associates (binds) spot information and application specifying / time information and stores them as application activation information. The application identification / time information includes identification information for identifying an application whose activation is detected by the application activation determination unit 11 and time information for identifying an activation time.

  Here, FIG. 3 shows a storage example in the case where the spot information, the specific information for specifying the application whose activation is detected, and the time information for specifying the activation time are stored in association with each other. As shown in FIG. 3, the application name “Appli — 1”, which is identification information for identifying the application whose activation is detected, is “2011/01/05 11:30”, which is the time information for identifying the activation time. It is stored in association with “station” which is spot information at the time. In consideration of changes in the application activation tendency by the user of the terminal 1, the application activation information is deleted after a predetermined number of days have elapsed since it was written to the terminal database 14. This predetermined number of days can be changed by an input setting by the user for the terminal 1, and is, for example, 30 days.

  The priority calculation unit 15 acquires statistical information on the activation time and the activation frequency of each application for each spot based on the application activation information (that is, specific information, time information, and spot information) stored in the terminal database 14. It is an arithmetic processing part. For example, an application whose application name is “Appli_8” is started at the date and time specified by “2011/01/09 11:30” in the spot whose spot information is “Station”, and the spot information If the time information is activated at the date and time specified by “2011/01/10 11:30” at the spot where “station” is “station”, the application at the spot “station” at time “11:30” Statistical information that an application with the name “Appli_8” has been started with a start frequency of twice is acquired. The height of the activation frequency of each application for each activation time and spot is a high priority in displaying the activation icon of each application on the display unit 16.

  Based on the statistical information acquired by the priority calculation unit 15, the display unit 16 includes the activation time corresponding to the current time indicated by the current time information and the application frequency of the corresponding application in descending order of activation frequency in the spot including the current position. A display that preferentially displays a start icon and its control part. For example, at the spot “station” at time “11:30”, an application whose application name is “Appli_8” is started with a start frequency of two times, and other applications are started with a start frequency of one time. In this case, the activation icon of the application having the highest activation frequency and the application name “Appli_8” is displayed with the highest priority. When the activation frequency is the same between applications, the activation times are preferentially displayed in order of newest activation (that is, in the last activation order).

  Here, the display with the highest priority of the activation icon is, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a screen “recommended application” that displays a list of applications recommended to be activated based on the situation of the user of the terminal 1 is displayed. After the icon I for the user is selected by the user, the position that is most easily noticed by the user, such as the position on the uppermost stage and the leftmost position in the display portion of the terminal 1 (that is, the position indicated by “1”) ). When the icon I is selected by the user, the position information acquisition unit 12 is called, positioning of the terminal 1 is performed, current location information regarding the current position of the terminal 1 is acquired, and the above-described various processes are executed. Then, the icon display area is finally called, and a plurality of activation icons based on the assigned priority order are displayed. Sequentially, as the activation frequency indicated by the statistical information becomes lower, the position next to the right of the display position with the highest priority (ie, the position indicated by “2”), and further, the position next to the right (ie, “3”). The position after the uppermost level changes to the level immediately below (that is, the positions indicated by “4”, “5”, and “6”).

  The spot information editing instruction transmission unit 17 is an input receiving part that receives an input stored in the server 2 for changing the size of the spot specified by the spot information at the time of activation. The input for changing the size of the spot is performed by the user of the terminal 1 by an operation such as touch input or key pressing on the terminal 1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, the spot size specified by the spot information at the time of activation is “station”, “track”, “office building”, “ The size is such as “highway”, “sightseeing spot”, “shop”. Since the user of the terminal 1 may wish to define the spot size to be smaller (ie, finely classified), the spot information editing instruction transmission unit 17 meets this need. For example, the spot information editing instruction transmission unit 17 changes the size of a spot called “sightseeing spot” to “hot spring”, “ski resort”, “golf course”, “campsite”, etc. prepared in advance ( That is, the edited content) is received. Upon receipt of the edited content, the spot information editing instruction transmission unit 17 transmits the edited content to the server 2 to perform a change process.

(3) Configuration of Server 2 Subsequently, the configuration of the server 2 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 5. FIG. 5 is a physical configuration diagram for explaining an outline of the main physical configuration of the server 2.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the server 2 includes a CPU 201 (Central Processing Unit), a RAM 202 (Random Access Memory), a ROM 203 (Read Only Memory), and a communication module 204 for performing communication as main physical components. And a computer including hardware such as an auxiliary storage device 205 such as a hard disk. When these components operate, each function of the server 2 is exhibited.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the server 2 includes, as main functional components, a spot information acquisition receiving unit 21 (searching unit), a server database 22 (storage unit), and a spot information editing receiving unit 23 (receiving unit). ).

  The spot information acquisition reception unit 21 is a communication processing part that receives an inquiry about spot information by receiving the current location information of the terminal 1 from the spot information acquisition unit 13. When receiving the current location information of the terminal 1, the spot information acquisition receiving unit 21 uses the server database 22 to collate the current location information with the map information, and acquires spot information corresponding to the current location information. The spot information acquisition reception unit 21 responds by transmitting the acquired spot information to the spot information acquisition unit 13.

  The server database 22 is a database that stores (links) spots on the map and spot information. The spot on the map is an initial setting value associated with the current location information when the current location information of the terminal 1 is compared with existing map information. The spot information can be changed by the user, and the input of the changed setting is received by the spot information editing instruction transmission unit 17.

  Here, FIG. 6 shows a storage example when the spots on the map and the spot information are stored in association with each other. As shown in FIG. 6, the spot “commercial facility” on the map associated with the current location information of the terminal 1 is stored in association with the spot information “department store, supermarket, shopping mall,...”.

  The spot information editing accepting unit 23 is a communication processing part that receives editing content from the spot information editing instruction transmitting unit 17. Upon receipt of the edited content, the spot information editing accepting unit 23 performs processing for changing and updating the spot size indicated by the spot information stored in the server database 22 according to the edited content.

(4) Screen Transition at Terminal 1 When Changing Spot Size Next, an example of screen transition at the terminal 1 when changing the spot size will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a transition diagram showing screen transition in the terminal 1 when changing the size of the spot. For example, when the “menu” button on the terminal 1 is pressed while the above-mentioned “recommended application” screen is displayed on the display unit 16, the browser is activated to display a screen for changing the spot size. Then, the “spot information editing screen” is displayed.

  In this “spot information editing screen”, an “editing object selection screen” is displayed that enables selection of an object to be edited by changing the spot size. In this “edit target selection screen”, “station” button, “railway” button, “office building” button, and “tourist spot” button are shown as candidates for edit target. When selected, a “station information editing screen” that allows the size of the spot “station” to be changed is displayed. This “station information editing screen” includes a “handle with“ station ”” button that does not change the spot size, and a “distinguish“ station ”” button that changes the spot size. Here, in order to change the size of the spot, the user of the terminal 1 may select the “Distinguish“ station ”” button.

(5) Flow of Information Display Processing in Information Display System 10 Subsequently, the flow of information display processing (information display method) in the information display system 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the information display processing, the user edits and changes the information collection phase for collecting information related to the activation history of the user of the terminal 1 and the reference spot size when displaying a list of applications recommended for activation. A spot information editing phase and a display phase for displaying a list of applications recommended to be started.

  Here, FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing in the information collecting phase, FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing in the spot information editing phase, and FIG. It is a flowchart for demonstrating the flow of the process in.

  First, the flow of processing in the information collection phase will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when an application in the terminal 1 is activated, the application activation determining unit 11 receives an activation notification signal from the application and detects that the application has been activated (step S01). When the application activation determination unit 11 detects the activation of the application, the position information acquisition unit 12 performs positioning of the terminal 1 and acquires current location information regarding the current position of the terminal 1 (step S02). When the positioning of the terminal 1 is completed, the position information acquisition unit 12 outputs the current location information of the terminal 1 to the spot information acquisition unit 13.

  Next, when the spot information acquisition unit 13 inquires of the spot information acquisition reception unit 21 of the server 2 about the spot information specifying the spot where the terminal 1 exists, the spot information acquisition reception unit 21 inquires of the server database 22. Then, the acquired spot information is transmitted to the spot information acquisition unit 13 (step S03, acquisition step). And if the spot information acquisition part 13 acquires spot information, it will be linked | related with application specific and time information (it will tie), and will be written in the terminal database 14 as application starting information (step S04). As a result, a series of processing relating to the information collection phase ends (step S05).

  Second, the flow of processing in the spot information editing phase will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the spot size specified by the spot information at the time of start-up is, for example, “station”, “track”, “office building”, “highway”, “tourist spot” by default (ie, initial setting), It is the size to the extent of “shop”. Depending on the user of the terminal 1, there is a case where it is desired to define the spot size to be smaller (that is, finely classified), so the spot information editing instruction transmission unit 17 meets this need. For example, the spot information editing instruction transmission unit 17 changes the size of the spot “sightseeing spot” to “prepared hot spring”, “ski resort”, “golf course”, “campground”, etc. That is, the edited content) is received (step S11). When receiving the edited content, the spot information editing instruction transmitting unit 17 transmits the edited content to the spot information editing receiving unit 23 of the server 2 so that the server database 22 is changed. Thereby, a series of processes regarding the spot information editing phase is completed (step S12).

  Third, the flow of processing in the display phase will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when the user selects an icon I for displaying a screen “recommended apps” indicating a list of applications recommended to be started based on the situation of the user of the terminal 1 (step S21), the position information acquisition unit 12 Called, the location information acquisition unit 12 performs positioning of the terminal 1 and acquires current location information regarding the current location of the terminal 1 (step S22). When the positioning of the terminal 1 is completed, the position information acquisition unit 12 outputs the current location information of the terminal 1 to the spot information acquisition unit 13.

  Next, when the spot information acquisition unit 13 inquires of the spot information acquisition reception unit 21 of the server 2 about the spot information specifying the spot where the terminal 1 exists, the spot information acquisition reception unit 21 inquires of the server database 22. Then, the acquired spot information is transmitted to the spot information acquisition unit 13 (step S23, acquisition step). And the priority calculation part 15 inquires and acquires the stored application starting information (namely, specific information, time information, and spot information) with respect to the terminal database 14 (step S24).

  Next, based on the application activation information stored in the terminal database 14 (that is, specific information, time information, and spot information), the priority calculation unit 15 calculates the activation time and activation frequency of each application for each spot. Information is acquired (step S25, calculation step). Then, the display unit 16 corresponds to the activation time corresponding to the current time indicated by the current time information based on the statistical information acquired by the priority calculation unit 15 and the descending order of activation frequency in the spot including the current position. The application activation icon is preferentially displayed (step S26, display step). Thereby, a series of processing relating to the display phase ends (step S27).

(6) Actions and effects of this embodiment Next, actions and effects of the terminal 1 included in the information display system 10 according to this embodiment will be described. According to the terminal 1, first, specific information, time information, and spot information at the time of starting the application are acquired, and based on these information, statistical information on the start time and the start frequency of each application for each spot is obtained. get. Then, the terminal 1 preferentially displays activation icons in descending order of activation frequency in a spot including the activation time corresponding to the current time and the current position based on the statistical information.

  Thus, the place where the terminal 1 exists is specified by a spot that specifies the type of place narrower than the “area” described in JP 2010-146286 A. Furthermore, it is not based on the statistical information of the activation frequency for each spot, but based on the statistical information of the application activation frequency for each spot and activation time, the activation is performed at the spot including the activation time corresponding to the current time and the current position. Startup icons are recommended and displayed in order of frequency. For this reason, it is possible to more appropriately display the application activation icon based on the past application selection tendency of the user of the terminal 1 and to easily find the activation icon of the target application to be used. Convenience can be improved.

  In addition, the terminal 1 includes a spot information editing instruction transmission unit 17 that receives an input for changing the size of the spot specified by the acquired spot information by a user operation.
