FIG. 5 is a diagram showing transition of display contents of function registration on the display unit of the mobile communication terminal shown in FIG.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the function registration operation of the mobile communication terminal shown in FIG. First, when the user operates a menu key and ten keys (not shown) of the key input unit 53 to call the function setting mode of the mobile communication terminals PS1 to PSm, the control unit 5 calls the setting data of the own device from the memory unit 6. ,
The display 5a is displayed on the display unit 54.

In this state, the display unit 54
And the control unit 5 is in a state of waiting for a request to change these setting data.

Here, the base station position information is stored in the terminals PS1 to P1.
The user operates the key input unit 53 to register it in Sm. Display 5
In the example of a, since the setting of “position information” corresponds to “4”, the ten key “4” key is pressed.

Then, the base station position information registration control section 5a starts the base station position information registration control operation according to the flow shown in FIG. First, in step 6a, the base station position information registration control unit 5a displays a new registration / update selection screen on the display unit 54, and waits for an operation designation. At this time, when the ten key "1" is pressed, new registration is selected, and the process proceeds to step 6c, where the display unit 54 is in a state where nothing is included in each setting item of the display 5c.

When "2" is pressed, the update is selected, and the process proceeds to step 6b, where the registered data is called from the base station position information storage area 6a in FIG. The display 5d is displayed. After the selection, the process proceeds to step 6c, and the display 5c displays the existing setting data.

In the display 5c, a position name that can be arbitrarily determined by the user is input from the key input section 53. Next, when a database is selected, for example, C registered in the terminal
The name corresponding to the S-ID is displayed on the display unit 54, for example, as a display 5e. Note that this database creation method is not described here because it is not directly related to the present invention, but a plurality of CS-IDs may correspond to one database name.

When an arbitrary place is registered on the display 5e,
The screen of the display unit 54 returns to the display 5c, and the items of the database are input. Next, when an operation procedure is selected on the display 5c, for example, a setting screen as shown in a display 5f is displayed on the display unit 54, and after selecting various items, the display 5 is displayed again.
Return to c. The execution form of the operation procedure will be described later.

Finally, when all items have been set and registration or cancellation is selected, step 6c ends. In these registration means, remote control using communication or the like may be used.

Next, a method of comparing the base station position information notified from the base station with the base station position information registered by the base station position information registration control unit 5a will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a bit structure of a calling identification code on a broadcast channel broadcast from the mobile communication system base station shown in FIG.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the base station position information comparing operation of the mobile communication terminal shown in FIG. The calling identification code shown in FIG. 7 has a bit structure broadcast on a broadcast channel from the base station side in the PHS public system. It comprises an operator identification code 7a composed of 9 bits, a general call area number 7b composed of 16 bits, and an additional ID 7c composed of 17 bits. Base station position information storage area 6 in FIG.
The data structure of the base station position information a may be any structure that can be compared with the information from the base station.

The comparison method will be described with reference to the operation flow of FIG. First, in step 8a, the control unit 5 extracts the calling identification code notified from the base station from the TDMA decoding circuit 31. The acquired calling identification code is compared in step 8b with the paging area and the data in the base station location information storage area 6a in FIG.

At this time, if they do not match, the process proceeds to step 8c, where it is determined whether or not there is another calling identification code.
Return to b. Note that one or more pieces of base station information can be obtained depending on the situation of the base station around the terminal. Generally, the business operator identification code 7a of the business to which the subscriber contracts is the same.

If the simultaneous call areas match in step 8b, the process proceeds to step 8d. In step 8d, comparison with the additional ID 7c is further performed. If they match, it is determined that the vehicle is in the immediate vicinity of the previously registered base station, and the process proceeds to step 8e, where the information is stored in the operation procedure storage area 6b in FIG. The operation is performed according to the procedure when all the base station information matches.

If there is no match in step 8d, it is determined that the user has entered the area because the coincidence has been made up to the simultaneous call area, and the process proceeds to step 8f, where the simultaneous call area registered in advance in the operation procedure storage area 6b in FIG. Perform the operation according to the procedure when the areas match.

While the same source identification code is continuously obtained, normal processing is not performed on the source identification code, but processing may be performed in a special case. Next, of the various operation procedures registered in advance in the operation procedure storage area 6b of FIG. 4, an operation involving a call will be described.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining that a call operation is performed to a registration destination as a result of the base station position information comparison operation of the mobile communication terminal shown in FIG. First, when the coincidence of the base station position information is detected in step 9a, the base station position information is obtained in step 9b, and the user is warned before calling out. ,
At step 9c, a display is made as to whether or not a call is to be made and the user is confirmed. The user responds, for example, in step 9d
If a calling operation is performed at, dialing to the registration destination is performed at step 9e.

At step 9d, the off-hook button may be pressed, or a selection menu displayed on the screen may be selected. If an operation other than communication is performed, the process ends without calling. If a call is made immediately without giving special attention to the user before calling, steps 9c and 9d are skipped and the operation is performed.

Subsequently, when communication with the other party is established in step 9f, the processing is divided depending on whether it is a telephone call or SMS (short message communication) as shown in step 9g. If the communication is a telephone call, the state is maintained in step 9h until the other party or the user goes on-hook.

On the other hand, in the case of SMS communication, a message registered in advance is transmitted to the destination in step 9i. In this description, the sending destination is described as the SMS communication. However, the same purpose can be achieved by sending a message to a pager or sending to an e-mail server.

When communication with the other party is not established in step 9f, there is a case where the other party is busy and a case where the off-hook is not performed.
The call is continued until the number of times of ringing at j becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined number n or the ringing time becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined time t. Further, if the communication is not established in step 9j, the calling operation is repeated again after a certain period of time.
Is repeated up to a predetermined number m times.

Here, the number of sounds n in step 9j
An example of the application of the setting will be described. For example, if you set to talk to your home at the station or stop just before you get off while getting on a train or bus, and set to stop calling twice, you can negotiate with your family in advance. Turns out to be a phone call to pick you up at the station. The content can be further clarified by setting to use SMS.

Further, it is also possible to automatically register and update the location information of the mobile device in the center server in combination with a system for managing location information, for example. In this case, an arbitrary method may be adopted from the mobile station, such as transmitting the CS-ID of the base station or the position information for specifying the base station to the center server by placing it on the SMS, or transmitting it to the sub-address.

Next, the operation in the terminal among the various operation procedures registered in advance in the operation procedure storage area 6b of FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the operation performed in the mobile communication terminal as a result of the base station position information comparison operation of the mobile communication terminal illustrated in FIG.

First, when coincidence of base station position information is detected in step 10a, position information and electric field strength at that time are obtained in steps 10b and 10c. Next, in step 10d, it is determined whether or not the setting is to sound an alarm.
If an alarm is to be sounded, the registered alarm sound is read out in step 10e. At this time, the setting may be such that the sound volume is changed according to the electric field strength acquired in step 10c. The alarm sound read in step 10e causes the speaker to sound at the volume scale in step 10f.

In step 10g, vibrator 5
2 to determine whether or not to vibrate,
If is to be vibrated, the registered vibrator pattern is read out in step 10h. At this time step 1
The setting may be such that the vibrator pattern is changed according to the electric field strength acquired at 0c. Step 1
The vibrator pattern read at 0h causes the vibrator 52 to vibrate with the vibrator pattern at step 10i.
