A main body case (not shown) of the cellular phone 1 includes a transmission / reception antenna 2, a speaker 3 for generating sound, a display unit 4 made of a color liquid crystal, a switch input unit 5, a microphone 6 for voice input, and a detachable unit. There are provided a memory card 7 capable of reading and writing data on a storage medium, an acceleration detection unit 8 for detecting movement of the user of the mobile phone 1 by acceleration, and a speaker 9 for notifying an incoming call by a ringer sound. The switch input unit 5 is provided with a character input switch also serving as a dial switch, a clear switch, a cursor switch, a determination switch for determining an icon image selected on the screen, a transmission switch, an off-hook switch, an on-hook switch, and the like. In addition, a vibrator 10 that notifies an incoming call by vibration is built in the main body case.

  Next, an electrical configuration will be described. The wireless transmission / reception unit 11 transmits or receives modulated voice and data via the antenna 2. The wireless signal processing unit 12 demodulates the voice and data received by the wireless transmission / reception unit 11 and modulates the voice and data transmitted by the wireless transmission / reception unit 11. The control unit 13 controls the entire apparatus by exchanging commands and data via the system bus, and includes a clock 131 that keeps the current time inside. The subscriber information storage unit 14 includes an address book area, an incoming call history area, an outgoing call history area, and the like. The system ROM 15 stores a communication control processing program executed by the control unit 13, synthesized voice data, various initial data, and the like. The memory 16 is a work area for temporarily storing data processed by the control unit 13, for example, data such as a schedule input according to an operation from the key input unit 5, and various register and flag areas are provided therein. Is provided.

  The voice signal processing unit 17 converts a voice signal during a call or a voice signal of synthesized voice data from digital to analog and gives it to the speaker 3 for sound generation, and also converts the voice signal from the microphone 6 from analog to digital. Input to the control unit 13. The driver 18 drives the speaker 9 and the vibrator 10. The driver 19 drives the display unit 4. The driver 20 drives the memory card 7. The acceleration detection unit 8 is connected to an acceleration sensor 81 that generates a signal corresponding to an acceleration that is a change in the moving speed of the mobile phone 1, and converts the signal into digital data that can be processed by the control unit 13.

  1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 9 which are flowcharts of the control unit 13 of the mobile phone 1 and FIGS. 10 and 11 showing screens of the display unit 4. FIG. Even when the mobile phone 1 is powered off, the timepiece 131 of the control unit 13 is in an active state, and is in a sleep mode for monitoring changes in the power switch. Therefore, in FIG. 2, first, a change in the power switch is determined (step S1). When the power switch changes from OFF to ON, the flag ONF is set to 1 (step S2), the communication function including the wireless transmission / reception unit 11 and the wireless signal processing unit 12 and other functions are activated and displayed. The backlight of the unit 4 is turned on (step S3). That is, the mobile phone 1 is changed from the sleep mode to the active mode. Thereafter, or when there is no change in the power switch in step S1, it is determined whether or not ONF is 1 (step S4). If the ONF is not 1, the sleep mode is set, and therefore whether or not the power switch has changed is determined in step S1.

  On the other hand, if the ONF is 1 and the mobile phone 1 is in the active mode, it is determined whether or not the flag GF is 1 (step S5). When GF is 1, the management unit notifies the management device of information on the state of use, and when GF is 0, the state of use is kept secret. If GF is 1, it is determined whether or not the flag SF is 0 (step S6). If the SF is 1, the schedule content is notified to the management device, and if the SF is 0, no notification is sent. If SF is 0 in step S6, it is determined whether or not the current setting is the manner mode (step S7). If the mode is the manner mode, the server that is the management apparatus is notified of the manner mode (step S8). If the mode is not the manner mode, the server is notified of "standby" (step S9). In step S5, when GF is 0, the server notifies the server of “secret” to keep the usage information secret (step S9). After notifying the server in any of step S8, step S9 or step S10, a standby screen is displayed (step S11).

  In step S1, when the power switch changes from on to off, it is determined whether or not the flag ONF is 1 (step S12). When the ONF is 1, the server is notified of “OFF”. (Step S13), the communication function including the wireless transmission / reception unit 11 and the wireless signal processing unit 12 is deactivated, and the backlight of the display unit 4 is turned off (step S14). That is, the mobile phone 1 is shifted from the active mode to the sleep mode. Further, the flag ONF is reset to 0 (step S15), and the process proceeds to step S1 to determine whether or not the power switch has changed.

  After the standby screen is displayed in step S11, it is determined whether or not an incoming call is detected in the flowchart of FIG. 3 (step S17). When an incoming call is detected, it is determined whether or not the current use state is the manner mode (step S18). When the manner mode is set, the vibrator 10 is vibrated to notify the incoming call (step S19), and when the manner mode is not set, the incoming call sound of the speaker 9 is notified (step S20). Then, it is determined whether or not an off-hook operation has been performed in response to any incoming call notification (step S21).

  When an off-hook operation is performed, it is determined whether or not GF is 1 (step S22). If GF is 1 and the server is set in a mode for notifying the use state information, "(Step S23). After this notification or when GF is 0 in step S22 and the server is set to a mode in which usage information is not notified, the process proceeds to call processing (step S24). After that, it is determined whether or not an on-hook operation has been performed (step S25). When the on-hook operation has been performed, the end-of-call processing such as line disconnection is performed (step S26), and the process proceeds to step S1 in FIG. Determine whether the power switch has changed.

  If no incoming call is detected in step S17 in FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not an off-hook operation has been performed in the flowchart in FIG. 4 (step S27). If an off-hook operation has been performed, a number input process is performed (step S27). S28). That is, a number input screen is displayed on the display unit 4, and the input number is stored and the number is displayed on the display unit 4 in response to the number input from the key input unit 5. Next, a call process for transmitting the stored number to the nearest base station according to the operation of the transmission switch is performed (step S29). Then, it is determined whether or not the line connection is established (step S30). When the line connection is established, it is determined whether or not GF is 1 (step S31). If GF is 1, the server is notified that the phone is “on the phone” (step S32), and if GF is 0, the server is not notified and the process proceeds to call processing (step S33). . In the call process, it is determined whether or not an on-hook operation has been performed (step S34). When the on-hook operation has been performed, a call ending process is performed (step S35), and the process proceeds to step S1 in FIG. Determine if there is a change.

  If the off-hook operation is not performed in step S27 of FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the menu switch is turned on in the flowchart of FIG. 5 (step S36). When this switch is turned on, a menu list is displayed (step S37), and one menu (for example, the top menu) is focused (step S38). That is, the display mode (for example, display color) of the menu is changed to a different one from the other menus. Next, it is determined whether or not the cursor switch is turned on (step S39). When this switch is turned on, the focus position is moved (step S40). Then, it is determined whether or not the determination switch is turned on (step S41).

  When the determination switch is turned on, it is determined whether or not the focus position is a state notification (step S42). If the focus position is status notification, a status notification availability screen for setting the usage status notification to “permitted” or “impossible” is displayed (step S43). It is determined whether or not the notification “permitted” is selected (step S44). When the notification “permitted” is selected, GF is set to 1 (step S45). If the notification “possible” is not selected, it is determined whether or not the notification “impossible” is selected (step S46). If the notification “impossible” is selected, GF is reset to 0 (step S47). After GF is reset to 0, the process proceeds to step S1 in FIG. 2 to determine whether the power switch has changed.

  After setting GF to 1, the schedule interlocking selection screen is displayed in the flowchart of FIG. 6 (step S48). In other words, a selection screen is displayed for selecting whether the notification of the schedule is “permitted” or “not permitted” of the notification to the server. It is determined whether or not the notification “permitted” is selected (step S49). When “permitted” is selected, the flag SF is set to 1 (step S50). If “permitted” is not selected, it is determined whether or not notification “impossible” is selected (step S51). If “not permitted” is selected, SF is reset to 0 (step S52). After setting or resetting SF, the process proceeds to step S1 in FIG. 2 to determine whether the power switch has changed.

  If the focus position is not a status notification in step S42 in FIG. 5, it is determined in the flowchart in FIG. 7 whether the focus position is a status display (step S53). When the focus position is the status display, a request for acquiring status data is transmitted to the server together with the personal identification data in the address book (step S54). Then, it is determined whether or not status data has been received from the server (step S55), and when received, status data of each individual is displayed (step S56). FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of status data of each individual. In this case, the detailed contents of the individual who has notified the schedule may be displayed in accordance with the operation of the cursor switch and the decision switch. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a detailed schedule is displayed. When the status data of each individual is displayed, it is determined whether or not the clear switch is turned on (step S57). When this switch is turned on, the process proceeds to step S11 in the flowchart of FIG. Display the standby screen.

  5, if the menu switch is not on, it is determined whether or not GF is 1 in the flowchart of FIG. 8 (step S58). If GF is 1, the current time is set. Obtained from the clock 131 (step S59). Next, it is determined whether or not the acquired current time has reached a preset movement detection time (step S60). If the movement detection time has been reached, the acceleration sensor 81 is actuated via the acceleration detector 8 (step S61). Then, a predetermined signal conversion process is performed on the acceleration signal obtained from the acceleration sensor 81 by the acceleration detector 8, and it is determined whether or not the acceleration exceeds a predetermined value (step S62).

  If the acceleration exceeds a predetermined value, the flag MF is set to 1 (step S63), and the server is notified that “moving” (step S64). After this notification or when GF is 0 in step S58, the process proceeds to step S11 in the flowchart of FIG. 2 to display a standby screen. In step S62, if the acceleration is equal to or less than a predetermined value, it is determined whether or not MF is 1 (step S65). If MF is 1, this is reset to 0 (step S66). Then, the process proceeds to step S6 in FIG. 2 to determine whether SF is 0 or not. On the other hand, if MF is already 0 in step S65, the process proceeds to step S11 in the flowchart of FIG. 2 to display a standby screen.

  In step S60, if the current time is not the movement detection time, it is determined whether SF is 1 or not in the flowchart of FIG. 9 (step S67). If SF is 1, or step of FIG. When the current time is acquired in S16, it is determined whether or not the current time has reached the schedule detection time (step S68). If the schedule detection time has been reached, the corresponding area in the memory 16 is searched to check the contents of the schedule (step S69). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a schedule (step S70). If there is a schedule, the contents of the schedule are notified to the server (step S71). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11 in the flowchart of FIG. 2 to display a standby screen.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when a command for notifying usage state information is input from the key input unit 5 that inputs a command and data according to an operation, the control unit 13 When information is transmitted to the server and a command requesting information on the use state of another communication terminal device is input from the key input unit 5, the other use state information is received from the server and displayed on the display unit 4. indicate. The usage status information to be sent to the server includes, for example, a standby or manner mode in which incoming calls can be received, a call that cannot be received, a call that cannot be received, a movement that is unstable, and usage on the receiving side as shown in the screen of FIG. There is a schedule to understand the state of the person. Therefore, by utilizing the resources of the conventional communication line network as they are, there is no need for development costs and capital expenditures for the construction of new management devices, and only the terminal side users and An excellent communication system that takes into account both users on the sending side is realized.
Further, in this case, the control unit 13 receives information on the use state of the personal mobile phone stored in the address book of the subscriber information storage unit 14 from the server and displays it on the display unit 4. Therefore, it is possible to configure the address book so as to be grouped and to receive necessary information on the use state of the mobile phone from the server.

  In the above-described embodiment, the invention of the apparatus in which the control unit 13 executes the communication information processing program stored in advance in the system ROM 15 has been described. However, the communication information processing read from the removable memory card 7 has been described.
