User terminal
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.
1 . 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.
2 . The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry sets the specific period on the basis of a use log representing a period in which the user used the user terminal in the past.
3 . The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry checks a result log for each dummy notification, representing whether or not the user has started use of the user terminal by being triggered by the dummy notification, and controls a behavior of the dummy notification on the basis of the result logs relating to a plurality of the latest dummy notifications.
4 . The user terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the processing circuitry, for the plurality of the latest dummy notifications, stops a function of the dummy notification in a case in which a ratio with which the user has started the use of the user terminal by being triggered by the dummy notifications is a first threshold or less.
5 . The user terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the processing circuitry, for the plurality of the latest dummy notifications, decreases a magnitude of the sound level or the vibration intensity of the dummy notification to be smaller than a magnitude used up to that point in a case in which a ratio with which the user has started the use of the user terminal by being triggered by the dummy notifications is a second threshold or more.
6 . 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.
7 . 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.
