BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 41.

(Embodiment 1)

The first embodiment is a mobile phone having a receiver.

There are cases where a driver riding a motorcycle on a highway wants to know the location of a traffic control device. However, since a car navigation system cannot be mounted on a motorcycle, a mobile phone that is convenient for carrying is used. Traffic control on the highway
For example, although it is performed by an automatic speed control device, in other cases, the control may be flexibly performed by so-called mouse control. For the former, its position can be known in advance, but for the latter, it is difficult to know its position in advance. Therefore, in order to give some warning to the driver, information on where the driver is currently traveling is indispensable.

As shown in FIG. 1A, in this embodiment, the GPS signal transmitted from the satellite can be used to specify the traffic control information based on the position where the motorcycle is traveling. Drivers can get traffic control information to know at their position.

FIG. 1B shows an example of the functional blocks of the first embodiment. The figure shows the mobile phone of the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the mobile phone of this embodiment has a receiving unit 100.

The "reception unit" 100 receives the traffic control information based on the position information including the information indicating the own position transmitted from the traffic control information server.

These may be realized by hardware built in the mobile phone or may be realized by software. Further, it may be realized not only by the internal organs but also by external equipment, parts and the like. Further, it may be realized by cooperating both software and hardware. Therefore, in order to realize this receiving unit, in addition to a mobile phone having a built-in function in advance, a method of downloading software and connecting an external device can be adopted.

The "traffic enforcement information" is information on enforcement regarding road traffic, such as when and where enforcement of speed enforcement, seat belt enforcement, parking enforcement, overload enforcement, drunk driving enforcement, etc. Refers to information. A "server" is a computer that provides its own functions and data in a computer network.

The "positional information" is information indicating the position of itself, for example, information such as the north latitude and the east longitude. That is, when the position information is 35.5 degrees north latitude and 139.5 degrees east longitude, the receiving unit 100 of the mobile phone receives the traffic control information based on this position information. Of course, it may be one called "○ prefecture ○ city ○ chome ○ address ○ number".

For example, if the position information indicating the position of the user is 35.5 degrees north latitude and 139.5 degrees east longitude, the same north latitude 3
Receives traffic control information within a radius of 2 km at a position of 5.5 degrees and 139.5 degrees east longitude. Also, "mobile phone" means not only a commonly known mobile phone but also a so-called PHS.
The personal computer includes a (personal handy phone), a PDA that incorporates these functions or can be externally attached, a palmtop computer, a notebook computer, an electronic notebook, a wristwatch type electronic device, and the like. Of course, a mobile phone means an electronic device such as a mobile phone device, and does not mean a phone call which is an act performed by a person.
