Abstract

Disclosed is a display terminal apparatus including a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with a set external device, a display unit, a display information obtaining unit which obtains display information including a display content to be displayed in the display unit, a display period setting of the display content and a changing condition for changing the display period through the wireless communication unit, a display control unit which controls the display period of the display content in the display unit on the basis of the display period setting, a determination unit which determines whether a state corresponds to the changing condition, and a display period changing unit which changes the display period on the basis of a determination result obtained in the determination unit.

Claims

1. A display terminal apparatus, comprising:

a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with a set external device;

a display unit;

a display information obtaining unit which obtains display information including a display content to be displayed in the display unit, a display period setting of the display content and a changing condition for changing the display period through the wireless communication unit;

a display control unit which controls the display period of the display content in the display unit on the basis of the display period setting;

a determination unit which determines whether a state corresponds to the changing condition; and

a display period changing unit which changes the display period on the basis of a determination result obtained in the determination unit.

2. The display terminal apparatus according to claim 1 further comprises an operating unit which receives input operation, wherein

the determination unit determines whether operation corresponding to the changing condition is received in the operating unit.

3. The display terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the determination unit determines whether the state corresponds to any one of a plurality of changing conditions, and

the display period changing unit changes the display period according to a changing content set in advance corresponding to each changing condition.

4. The display terminal apparatus according to claim 1 further comprises a counter unit which counts a current date and time, wherein

the determination unit determines whether the current date and time, which is counted by the counter unit, is corrected by a predetermined time period or more during the display period of the display content, and

the display period changing unit changes the display period so as to end the display period of the display content when it is determined that the current date and time is corrected by the predetermined time period or more by the determination unit.

5. The display terminal apparatus according to claim 1 further comprises:

a counter unit which counts a current date and time, and

a period counter unit which counts an elapsed time relating to the display period of the display content,

wherein

the display control unit controls the display period of the display content according to the elapsed time counted by the period counter unit.

6. The display terminal apparatus according to claim 5, wherein

the period counter unit counts the current date and time by setting the date and time counted by the counter unit as a reference at a timing when the display content is obtained through the wireless communication unit.

7. The display terminal apparatus according to claim 1 further comprises a storage unit in which a predetermined number of display information is stored,

wherein the display information obtaining unit updates the display information relating to the display content, which a predetermined time period elapsed after the display period ended, by rewriting the display information with display information newly obtained.

8. An information display system, comprises:

a display terminal apparatus, and

an external device,

wherein

the display terminal apparatus includes a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with a set external device, a display unit, a display information obtaining unit which obtains display information including a display content to be displayed in the display unit, a display period setting of the display content and a changing condition for changing the display period through the wireless communication unit, a display control unit which controls the display period of the display content in the display unit on the basis of the display period setting, a determination unit which determines whether a state corresponds to the changing condition, and a display period changing unit which changes the display period on the basis of a determination result obtained in the determination unit, and

the external device includes an external wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with another external device, an external setting unit for setting display setup information including the display content to be displayed in the display terminal apparatus, the display period of the display content and the changing condition for changing the display period, an external storage unit in which the display setup information is stored for each display content, and a display information control unit which makes the external wireless communication unit send the display information relating to the display content to the display terminal apparatus at a predetermined timing with display start date and time of the display content being a reference.

9. The information display system according to claim 8, wherein

the external device includes a second communication unit for telephone and/or for performing sending and receiving of electronically transmitted message data, and

when the telephone and/or the electronically transmitted message data arrived through the second communication unit, the external setting unit sets the display setup information including a display content indicating the arrival and the display period which is a predetermined time period from a timing of the arrival.

10. An information display control method for displaying a display content obtained from a set external device in a display terminal apparatus including a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with the external device, comprising:

obtaining display information including a display content to be displayed, a display period setting of the display content and a changing condition for changing the display period through the wireless communication unit;

controlling the display period of the display content on a basis of the display period setting;

determining whether a state corresponds to the changing condition; and

changing the display period on a basis of a determination result obtained in the determining.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program which makes a computer used in a display terminal apparatus which displays a display content obtained from a set external device, the display terminal apparatus including a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with the external device, function as:

a display information obtaining unit which obtains display information including a display content to be displayed, a display period setting of the display content and a changing condition for changing the display period through the wireless communication unit;

a display control unit which controls the display period of the display content on a basis of the display period setting;

a determination unit which determines whether a state corresponds to the changing condition; and

a display period changing unit which changes the display period on a basis of a determination result obtained in the determination unit.
