Abstract
A user terminal (10) according to one embodiment includes: a notification unit (11) configured to perform a notification for the user using at least one of a sound or a vibration; and a control unit (14) configured to control operations of the notification unit (11). The control unit (14) causes the notification unit (11) to execute a dummy notification not including details of which the user is to be notified at a predetermined notification timing separately from a regular notification including details of which the user is to be notified. The notification unit (11) sets a sound level or a vibration intensity of the dummy notification to be lower than a sound level or a vibration intensity of the regular notification.
Claims7
A user terminal held by a user, the user terminal comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- perform a notification for the user using at least one of a sound or a vibration;
- control operations to execute a dummy notification not including details of which the user is to be notified at a predetermined notification timing separately from a regular notification including details of which the user is to be notified;
- and
- set a sound level or a vibration intensity of the dummy notification to be lower than a sound level or a vibration intensity of the regular notification,
- wherein the regular notification is a notification configured to cause a user to check or use the user terminal and is a notification from an actual application, from a plurality of applications, operating on the user terminal;
- and
- the dummy notification is a notification in which only a notification sound or vibration is output and is not from any of the plurality of applications operating on the user terminal,
- wherein the notification timing includes a time point at which a specific period set in advance has elapsed from a time point at which the user's use of the user terminal has ended.
A user terminal held by a user, the user terminal comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- perform a notification for the user using at least one of a sound or a vibration;
- control operations to execute a dummy notification not including details of which the user is to be notified at a predetermined notification timing separately from a regular notification including details of which the user is to be notified;
- and
- set a sound level or a vibration intensity of the dummy notification to be lower than a sound level or a vibration intensity of the regular notification,
- wherein the regular notification is a notification configured to cause a user to check or use the user terminal and is a notification from an actual application, from a plurality of applications, operating on the user terminal;
- and
- the dummy notification is a notification in which only a notification sound or vibration is output and is not from any of the plurality of applications operating on the user terminal,
- wherein the processing circuitry estimates a time frame in which there is a high possibility of the user starting use of the user terminal on the basis of a use log representing a period in which the user used the user terminal in the past and determines the notification timing on the basis of the estimated time frame.
A user terminal held by a user, the user terminal comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- perform a notification for the user using at least one of a sound or a vibration;
- control operations to execute a dummy notification not including details of which the user is to be notified at a predetermined notification timing separately from a regular notification including details of which the user is to be notified;
- and
- set a sound level or a vibration intensity of the dummy notification to be lower than a sound level or a vibration intensity of the regular notification,
- wherein the regular notification is a notification configured to cause a user to check or use the user terminal and is a notification from an actual application, from a plurality of applications, operating on the user terminal;
- and
- the dummy notification is a notification in which only a notification sound or vibration is output and is not from any of the plurality of applications operating on the user terminal,
- wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to
- detect a state of the user terminal, and
- execute the dummy notification during a period in which the user terminal is in a state set in advance as a target for performing the dummy notification on the basis of the detected state.
