Description

  The present invention relates to a wireless communication system in which a mobile terminal communicates via a wireless line, a mobile terminal used therefor, a control method for the mobile terminal, and a program.

  Nowadays, mobile terminals such as mobile phones have become daily necessities, and there are many people who have experienced inconvenience or anxiety when a mobile terminal is lost, damaged, or forgotten somewhere. Furthermore, in the case of loss, it may be necessary to purchase a new model if it cannot be found even after extensive search of the previous action range, or if it cannot be repaired at the time of failure. In such a case, it becomes more inconvenient to go to a store before it can be used again. In the case of loss or failure, it may take a long time before it can be used again.

  For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe a method for detecting position information or performing function lock by remote operation as a technique for searching for loss or ensuring security.

  Patent Document 3 describes a method for recovering the internal information of a lost mobile phone while collecting the internal information of the lost mobile phone and reproducing the user-friendliness up to that time with a new mobile phone. ing. Note that the internal information of the mobile phone in Patent Document 3 is phone book information, communication record information, image information, and setting information of various functions.

  If the position information is detected or the function is locked by remote control as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it can be detected quickly when it is lost, or unauthorized use by others can be prevented. However, the unusable time of the mobile terminal cannot be eliminated when it is lost, malfunctioned or not carried.

  In addition, if the technique described in Patent Document 3 is used, even if it is lost, it can be used by reproducing the convenience of use so far on a new mobile phone. However, even if the user-friendliness is reproduced, there is a problem that an incoming call addressed to the original address cannot be received unless address information such as a mobile phone number or an e-mail address used in the previous mobile phone is taken over. In order to take over the address information, it is necessary to go to a service store and perform a procedure for canceling the correspondence between the previous mobile phone and the address information and making it correspond to the new mobile phone. Therefore, the unusable time of the mobile phone is not canceled until the procedure is completed.

  Note that a method of taking over address information is realized by replacing an IC card to be attached to a mobile phone such as a SIM card. However, in order to replace the IC card, the mobile phone with the IC card must be present at hand, and cannot be obtained when it is lost or not carried. In addition, a method of taking over the address information by reading / writing information by remote control on the IC card mounted on the mobile phone is also conceivable, but there is a problem that a remote control command must reach the target mobile phone. is there. For example, when the target mobile phone is out of service area or turned off, the remote operation command is not reached and the address information cannot be taken over. In addition, when the address information in the IC card can be read and written by remote operation, there is a possibility that a situation in which an incorrect setting is made due to an incorrect operation or communication abnormality may occur. It is difficult to completely cope with such a situation, and the risk of unauthorized use may increase if the situation cannot be completely addressed.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a mobile phone system and a device used therefor, a control method for the mobile phone terminal, and a program that can easily eliminate the unusable time of the mobile terminal when lost, failed, or not carried. For the purpose.

The network interface 11 performs wireless communication with a wireless base station (not shown) provided in the core network 2. The data transmitted by the mobile phone 1 is received by the radio base station, so that other devices designated via the core network 2 (for example, the mobile phones 1a-2, 1b, Subscriber terminal management device 3 etc.). In addition, data transmitted from another device to the mobile phone 1 is sent to a radio base station that performs radio communication with the mobile phone 1 in the core network 2, and the radio base station transmits the data to the mobile phone 1. Sent.

  The control unit 12 operates according to a portable terminal control program stored in the storage device 13. The control unit 12 is realized by a CPU, for example. The control unit 12 transmits data (including data obtained by encoding speech) to other devices or receives data from other devices in accordance with the portable terminal control program stored in the storage unit 13. In addition, in response to a control request from the management station, the radio line is controlled to establish a call line, or the received electric field level is measured. In addition, it receives GPS signals and acquires position information. In the mobile terminal of the present invention (that is, a master / reserve compatible mobile phone), the control unit 12 operates according to the master / reserve compatible mobile terminal control program 121a. Note that the master / reserve compatible portable terminal control program 121a is obtained by adding a function specific to the master / reserve method of the present invention to a portable terminal control program for realizing functions required as a portable terminal. . In the present embodiment, the specific function implemented by the master / reserve-compatible portable terminal control program 121a is a function that requests at least the management station to switch master / reserve.

  The storage device 13 is a storage device that stores a mobile terminal control program for controlling the mobile phone 1 (specifically, a master / reserve compatible mobile terminal control program 121a).

  The subaddress storage unit 14 stores a subaddress assigned to the mobile phone 1. Here, the sub-address is an auxiliary address used in addition to the subscriber address (for example, a mobile phone number), and identifies a plurality of mobile phones 1 registered as terminals used by the same subscriber. Information used for the purpose. In the present embodiment, a case where an ascending number from 1 corresponding to the registered order is used will be described as an example. Hereinafter, an address for identifying a terminal used for each subscriber may be referred to as a full address. Here, the full address in the master / reserve mobile phone 1 corresponds to an address obtained by adding a sub-address to the subscriber address. On the other hand, the full address in the mobile phone 1 that is not compatible with master / reserve corresponds to the subscriber address. It should be noted that the address identified between subscribers in this system is a subscriber address regardless of whether it is master / reserve compatible. One subscriber identifies its own terminal by the subaddress.

  Further, the subscriber terminal management device 3 is a device that manages the use terminals for each subscriber. FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the subscriber terminal management device 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the subscriber terminal management device 3 includes a network interface 31, a control unit 32, a storage device 33, and a subscriber terminal data storage unit 34.

  The network interface 31 is a communication interface with the core network 2 (see FIG. 1). The subscriber terminal management device 3 transmits / receives data to / from other devices via the core network 2.

  The control unit 32 operates according to the subscriber terminal management program 321 stored in the storage device 33. The control unit 32 is realized by a CPU, for example. In accordance with the subscriber terminal management program 321 stored in the storage device 33, the control unit 32 specifies the mobile phone 1 that actually receives the incoming call at the address indicated as the destination, or indicates it as the request source (source). The subscriber number is authenticated from the terminal identification number (unique identification number preset in the portable terminal) or address. Also, the master / reserve setting is changed in correspondence between the subscriber number and the portable terminal.

  The storage device 33 is a storage device that stores a subscriber terminal management program 131 for managing a terminal used by each subscriber.

  The subscriber terminal data storage unit 34 is information in which a subscriber number as a subscriber address assigned to a subscriber is associated with a terminal identification number of the mobile phone 1 registered as a terminal used by the subscriber. When a plurality of mobile phones 1 are registered as use terminals, for each mobile phone 1, sub-addresses assigned to the mobile phone 1 and setting information indicating whether the mobile phone 1 is a master or a reserve are further provided. Is information that associates.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of subscriber terminal data. The subscriber terminal data shown in FIG. 4 is information in which a mobile phone number, which is a subscriber number as an address, is associated with a terminal identification number of the mobile phone 1 registered as a terminal used by the subscriber, When a plurality of mobile phones 1 are registered as use terminals, the terminal identification numbers of the respective mobile phones 1 are associated as list information with a master / reserve switch function (switching function). Specifically, as subscriber terminal data, information that associates a mobile phone number with a list number of a terminal identification number list that holds one terminal identification number or a plurality of terminal identification numbers in a list is held. You may make it do. Then, as the terminal identification number list, information in which the terminal identification number of each mobile phone 1 is associated with the setting information indicating whether it is master or reserved and the assigned subaddress may be held. If the mobile phone number and the subscriber number are not unique, the subscriber number, the mobile phone number as the subscriber address information, and the terminal identification number may be stored in association with each other. Alternatively, a subscriber number and a terminal identification number may be held in association with each other, and a subscriber number and a mobile phone number as subscriber address information may be separately stored in association with each other.

  FIG. 4 shows an example in which the mobile phone number “090111... (Lower digits omitted)” and the terminal identification number “10000298149212” are stored in association with each other. This indicates that one mobile phone 1 is registered as a use terminal for a mobile phone number assigned to a certain subscriber. Even if one mobile phone 1 is registered as a use terminal for one mobile phone number, it is treated as if the subaddress “1” or “master” setting is registered in the mobile phone 1. It is also possible.

  FIG. 4 shows an example in which the mobile phone number “090112...” And the list number “List80547” in the terminal identification number list are stored in association with each other. Then, as the terminal identification number list of the list number “List80547”, {subaddress “1”, “master” setting, terminal identification number “8004787827630”}, {subaddress “2”, “reserve” setting, terminal identification number “8004787827631” An example in which “}” is registered is shown. This indicates that two mobile phones 1 are registered as use terminals for the mobile phone number assigned to a certain subscriber. In addition, the mobile phone 1 with the terminal identification number “8004787827630” assigned with the subaddress “1” is registered as a master, and the mobile phone 1 with the terminal identification number “8004787827631” assigned with the subaddress “2” is registered as a reserve. It has been shown. In the terminal identification number list of the list number “List80548”, three mobile phones 1 are registered as use terminals, and the mobile phone 1 to which the subaddress “2” is assigned is registered as a master. It is shown.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. In the following description of the operation of the present embodiment, it is assumed that the subaddress “1” is assigned to the mobile phone 1a-1 and the subaddress “2” is assigned to the mobile phone 1a-2. Unless otherwise specified, in the subscriber terminal management apparatus 3, it is assumed that the mobile phone 1a-1 is registered as a master and the mobile phone 1a-2 is registered as a reserve.

  First, the operation when making a call between mobile terminals as a normal service will be described. 5 and 6 are flowcharts showing an example of the operation of the system in this case. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of an operation when a call is made to the subscriber B using the master / reserve-compatible mobile phone 1a-1. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of an operation when a call is made to the subscriber A using the mobile phone 1b not supporting the master / reserve. In the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, it is assumed that in the subscriber terminal management apparatus 3, the mobile phone 1 a-1 is registered as a master setting and the mobile phone 1 a-2 is registered as a reserve setting.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first, when receiving a call operation from the user (step S11), the control unit 12 of the mobile phone 1a-1 makes a call request specifying the input telephone number as a call destination. Transmit to the management station (step S12). The call request is information for requesting a call with another terminal from the management station. The call request includes information indicating a call destination and a call source. Note that a telephone number as a subscriber address is stored in the information indicating the called party. The information indicating the caller stores at least information that can identify the caller terminal (hereinafter referred to as terminal identification information). The terminal identification information may be a terminal identification number, for example. Moreover, the full address matched with the said mobile telephone 1 may be sufficient. Further, for example, it may be a set of a terminal identification number and a full address. In addition to the call request, information that requests the control station for predetermined control may be collectively referred to as a control request. In addition, the control unit 12 creates a control request according to a message format predetermined by the system.

  The call request transmitted from the cellular phone 1a-1 is transmitted to the management station provided in the core network 2 by being received by the radio base station that is performing radio communication with the cellular phone 1a-1. When the management station accepts the call request, it authenticates the caller terminal and identifies the callee terminal, and then transmits a connection request that also serves as an incoming call notification to the specified callee terminal ( Steps S13 to S15).

  In the present embodiment, the subscriber terminal management device 3 performs part of the authentication of the calling terminal (master confirmation) and the identification of the called terminal. For example, the mobile switching center that terminates the call request receives terminal identification information (in this case, the terminal identification number of the mobile phone 1a-1 or the like) stored in the information indicating the call source included in the received call request. A master confirmation request designating a full address) may be transmitted to the subscriber terminal management apparatus 3. When receiving the master confirmation request, the control unit 32 of the subscriber terminal management device 3 refers to the subscriber terminal data stored in the subscriber terminal data storage unit 34 and is identified by the terminal identification information. It may be confirmed whether or not is a master setting. When one mobile phone 1 is registered as a use terminal for one mobile phone number, the mobile phone 1 may be set as a master setting. And the control part 32 should just transmit the master confirmation response containing the confirmation result which shows whether it is a master setting to a mobile communication switching center.

  In addition, the mobile communication switching center uses a telephone number as a subscriber address (in this case, a mobile phone number assigned to the subscriber B) stored in information indicating a called party included in the received call request. If the telephone number is assigned to a subscriber in the system, a destination terminal specifying request designating the telephone number may be transmitted to the subscriber terminal management device 3. Good. When receiving the destination terminal identification request, the control unit 32 of the subscriber terminal management apparatus 3 refers to the subscriber terminal data stored in the subscriber terminal data storage unit 34 and uses the telephone number as the subscriber address. Of the used terminals registered in association with the subscriber number to be registered, the terminal set as the master setting may be specified as the destination terminal. When one mobile phone 1 is registered as a use terminal for one mobile phone number, the mobile phone 1 may be set as a master setting. If none of the used terminals is registered as a master, the terminal set as a master by default may be specified as the receiving terminal. And the control part 32 should just transmit the destination terminal specific response containing the information which shows the identified receiving terminal to a mobile communication switching center.

  In the management station, in this way, after confirming that the mobile communication switching center has received the master confirmation response and the destination terminal specific response from the subscriber terminal management device 3, the caller terminal is the master setting, A connection request that also serves as an incoming call notification may be transmitted to the identified called terminal (Yes in step S14, S15). The connection request is transmitted to the destination terminal via a radio base station that is performing radio communication with the mobile phone 1 specified as the destination terminal. If the call source terminal is not set as a master, a disconnection notification indicating that the call cannot be made may be transmitted to the call source terminal (No in step S14, S16). After the connection request or the disconnection notification is transmitted, processing according to a normal call connection sequence may be performed.

  In addition, when the destination number is not assigned to the mobile phone 1 in the system, the destination terminal is not specified, and another network operator can perform interconnection with the network. What is necessary is just to perform the process according to a call connection sequence.

  The management station may store the subscriber address of the call source terminal as the call source address in the connection request for the call request for communication between portable terminals as a normal service. The configuration of the management station (such as the relationship between the mobile communication switching center and the subscriber terminal management device 3) is not limited to the example shown above.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the call request from the mobile phone 1a-1 is normally accepted when the subscriber terminal management device 3 confirms that the mobile phone 1a-1 is the master setting. The connection request is transmitted to the mobile phone 1b designated as the called party. In the case of a call request from the mobile phone 1a-2, the subscriber terminal management device 3 confirms that the mobile phone 1a-2 is set to reserve, so that the call cannot be made and is disconnected. It will be returned as a notification.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a description will be given of a case where a call is made to the subscriber A using the cellular phone 1b that is not compatible with master / reserve. The operation performed by each device may be the same as the operation shown in FIG. 5 in that a call between mobile terminals is performed as a normal service. As shown in FIG. 6, when receiving a call operation from the user (step S11), the control unit 12 of the mobile phone 1b directs a call request specifying the input telephone number as a call destination to the management station. (Step S12). Here, the information indicating the caller of the call request stores terminal specifying information (for example, the terminal identification number or full address of the mobile phone 1b) that can specify the mobile phone 1b. Also, the subscriber address (mobile phone number) assigned to the subscriber A is stored in the information indicating the called party.

  The call request transmitted from the mobile phone 1b is transmitted to a management station provided in the core network 2 by being received by a radio base station that is performing radio communication with the mobile phone 1b. In the management station, when receiving the call request, for example, the mobile communication switching center that terminates the call request specified the terminal identification information stored in the information indicating the call source included in the received call request A master confirmation request is transmitted to the subscriber terminal management device 3.

  When the control unit 32 of the subscriber terminal management device 3 receives the master confirmation request, the control unit 32 refers to the subscriber terminal data stored in the subscriber terminal data storage unit 34 and refers to the terminal identification information (terminal identification information or full address). It is confirmed whether or not the mobile phone 1 specified by (1) is the master setting. Here, since only the mobile phone 1b is registered as the use terminal for the mobile phone number assigned to the subscriber B, the mobile phone 1b is determined to be the master setting.

  In addition, the mobile communication switching center uses a telephone number as a subscriber address (in this case, a mobile phone number assigned to the subscriber A) stored in information indicating a called party included in the received call request. And a destination terminal specifying request designating a telephone number is transmitted to the subscriber terminal management apparatus 3. When receiving the destination terminal identification request, the control unit 32 of the subscriber terminal management apparatus 3 refers to the subscriber terminal data stored in the subscriber terminal data storage unit 34 and uses the telephone number as the subscriber address. Among the used terminals registered in association with the subscriber number to be registered, the terminal which is the master setting is specified as the destination terminal. Here, the mobile phone 1a-1 is specified as the destination terminal.

  The management station authenticates the caller terminal and identifies the callee terminal, and then transmits a connection request that also serves as an incoming call notification to the specified callee terminal (steps S13 to S15). .

  Next, the operation when switching between master / reserve will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the system in this case. In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, it is assumed that in the subscriber terminal management device 3, the mobile phone 1 a-1 is registered as a master setting and the mobile phone 1 a-2 is registered as a reserve setting.

  When switching between master / reserve, it is desirable to authenticate whether or not the user is an authorized user in the mobile phone 1. In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, first, when the control unit 12 of the mobile phone 1 a-2 is authenticated as a legitimate user of the mobile phone 1 a-2 by an authentication operation from the user, the menu display is switched. Thus, the master switching operation can be accepted (step S31). When a master switching operation from the user is accepted (step S32), a master switching request is transmitted to the management station (step S33). The master switching request is information that requests the management station to register the mobile terminal as a main terminal. The master switching request includes information indicating the request source. Here, at least the terminal identification information of the mobile phone 1 is stored in the information indicating the request source.

  The master switching request transmitted from the cellular phone 1a-2 is transmitted to the management station provided in the core network 2 by being received by the radio base station that is performing radio communication with the cellular phone 1a-2. When the management station accepts the master switching request, it reserves the request source terminal and identifies the master terminal (step S34), and then rewrites the subscriber terminal data of the corresponding subscriber (step S35).

  In the present embodiment, the subscriber terminal management apparatus 3 performs reservation confirmation of the request source terminal, identification of the master terminal, and rewriting of the subscriber terminal data. For example, the mobile communication switching center that terminates the master switching request may transfer the received master switching request to the subscriber terminal management apparatus 3. When receiving the master switching request, the control unit 32 of the subscriber terminal management device 3 refers to the subscriber terminal data stored in the subscriber terminal data storage unit 34 and indicates the request source included in the master switching request. After specifying which subscriber's terminal the mobile phone 1 specified by the terminal specifying information (here, the terminal identification number or full address of the mobile phone 1a-2) stored in the information is While confirming whether or not the mobile phone 1 is set to reserve, the mobile phone 1 currently set as the master may be specified. In addition, when the requesting mobile phone 1 is set to reserve, the control unit 32 sets the mobile phone 1 as a master setting and sets the mobile phone 1 that is currently set as a reserve setting. The subscriber terminal data may be rewritten with this information. And the control part 32 should just transmit the switching result which shows the mobile telephone 1 which became the reserve setting from the master setting, and the mobile telephone 1 changed from the reserve setting to the master setting to a mobile switching center. .

  In response to the master switching response from the subscriber terminal management device 3, the mobile switching center transmits a switching notification informing the mobile phone 1 that has been set to reserve from the master setting, and the master setting is changed from reserve setting to master setting. It is only necessary to transmit a switching notification to that effect to the mobile phone 1 (steps S36 and S37). When the mobile phone 1 to which the switch notification is to be transmitted cannot be transmitted because the mobile phone 1 is out of service area or in a power-off state, the management station once holds the switch notification, and the mobile phone 1 When the location registration is performed with respect to the management station, it may be retransmitted. Alternatively, the mobile phone 1 may add the setting information indicating whether the mobile phone 1 recognizes the master setting or the reserve setting to the location registration request and transmit it. On the management station side, the switching notification may be transmitted when the mismatch between the setting information included in the location registration request and the setting information of the subscriber terminal data is confirmed without holding the switching notification.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, even when the mobile phone 1 that has been used is lost, damaged, or forgotten to carry, the mobile phone 1 cannot be used. If the other mobile phone 1 registered in advance as a reserve terminal is prepared in the bag, or stored in his / her desk at the work place and the reserve terminal can be used, the reserve terminal is designated as the master. By switching to the terminal, it is possible to continue using the normal service (communication using the subscriber address of the user).

  In the case where the normal service is continuously used by different mobile phones 1, it is preferable to transfer data such as an address book from the original master terminal.

  For this reason, in the present invention, communication between used terminals is provided using the subaddress, and data transfer such as an address book can be performed in the communication between used terminals.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the system in the case of performing communication between used terminals. In the example shown in FIG. 8, in the subscriber terminal management apparatus 3, it is assumed that the mobile phone 1a-1 is registered as the master setting and the mobile phone 1a-2 is registered as the reserve setting.

  As shown in FIG. 8, first, when the control unit 12 of the mobile phone 1a-2 receives a sub-terminal calling operation from the user (step S41), between the used terminals that specify the input sub-address as the call destination A communication call request (sub-terminal call request in FIG. 8) is transmitted to the management station (step S42). Here, the sub terminal refers to each use terminal viewed from the user of the mobile phone 1. The inter-use terminal communication call request is information for requesting the management station to communicate with other use terminals of the subscriber who is the user of the mobile phone 1. The inter-terminal communication call request includes information indicating a call destination and a call source. Note that the sub address is stored in the information indicating the called party. The information indicating the caller stores at least terminal identification information of the caller terminal.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8, the inter-use terminal communication call request transmitted from the mobile phone 1a-2 (reserved terminal) is received by the radio base station that performs radio communication with the mobile phone 1a-2. Is transmitted to the management station provided in the core network 2. When the management station receives the inter-terminal communication call request, it identifies the called terminal (step S43), and also serves as an incoming notification for the inter-terminal communication for the identified called terminal A connection request is transmitted (step S44). As authentication of the calling terminal, it is not necessary to confirm whether or not the calling terminal is the main terminal, and the identification of the called terminal is made by specifying the called destination of the communication call request between the used terminals. Except for the point that is performed based on the sub-address stored in the information indicating and the terminal identification information stored in the information indicating the caller, it may be the same as the case of performing a call between mobile terminals as a normal service.

  Note that the management station includes information indicating that the incoming call is in the communication between the used terminals and the caller address storing the subaddress of the caller terminal in the connection request for the communication call between the mobile terminals. It may be. For example, when the incoming call destination terminal receives the connection request and includes information indicating that the incoming call is in the communication between the used terminals, the incoming call destination terminal receives an incoming call from the user of the mobile phone 1. A call may be made so that the user knows that there is. Such a function is effective when, for example, when a portable terminal is lost, it is desired to respond to the finder who picked up the portable terminal.

  Note that the mobile phone 1 for performing the above operation is, for example, a control request in which a master / reserve compatible terminal control program requests communication with another terminal used by the user of the mobile phone 1 in response to a user operation. This is realized by including a communication process between used terminals for transmitting a control line to the management station or establishing a communication line with the other used terminal in response to a connection request received from the management station by transmitting the control request. Is done.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the system when data such as an address book is transferred using communication between terminals in use. In the example shown in FIG. 9, in the subscriber terminal management device 3, it is assumed that the mobile phone 1a-1 is registered as a master setting and the mobile phone 1a-2 is registered as a reserve setting. In this example, it is assumed that the cellular phone 1a-2 is the cellular phone 1 that has been switched to the reserve setting by the master switching request from the cellular phone 1a-1. That is, it is assumed that data such as an address book that has been used so far is stored in the cellular phone 1a-2 that is reserved.

  In addition, when performing data transfer, it is desirable to make the mobile phone 1 authenticate whether or not the user is a legitimate user. In this example, first, when the control unit 12 of the mobile phone 1a-1 is authenticated by the authentication operation from the user to be an authorized user of the mobile phone 1a-1, the menu display is switched and the data is displayed. The transfer operation can be accepted (step S51). When a data transfer operation is received from the user (step S52), the inter-terminal data communication call that designates the input subaddress (here, the subaddress assigned to the mobile phone 1a-2) as the called party. A request for transmitting a request (sub-terminal call request: data communication in FIG. 9) to the management station is transmitted to the management station (step S53). The inter-terminal data communication call request is information for requesting the management station to perform data communication with other use terminals of the subscriber who is the user of the mobile phone 1. The inter-terminal data communication call request includes information indicating data communication in addition to the information indicating the call destination and the call source. Note that the sub address is stored in the information indicating the called party. The information indicating the caller stores at least terminal identification information of the caller terminal.

  The inter-use data communication call request transmitted from the mobile phone 1a-1 (master terminal) is provided in the core network 2 by being received by the radio base station that is performing radio communication with the mobile phone 1a-1. Sent to the designated management station. When the management station accepts the inter-terminal data communication call request, it identifies the called terminal (step S54), and then sends an incoming notification of inter-terminal data communication to the identified called terminal. The connection request that also serves as a transmission is transmitted (step S55). The connection request is transmitted to the destination terminal via the radio base station that is performing radio communication with the mobile phone 1 (here, the mobile phone 1a-2) identified as the destination terminal. Except for the point that the communication type is data communication, it is the same as the case of performing communication between used terminals. The management station includes the information indicating that the incoming call is in the data communication between the used terminals and the caller address storing the subaddress of the caller terminal in the connection request for the data communication call request between the mobile terminals. It may be.

  When receiving the connection request, the mobile phone 1a-2 (reserved terminal) that has received the connection request performs a call operation if the mobile phone 1a-2 (reserved terminal) includes information indicating no branch that is an incoming call in inter-terminal data communication. The communication line may be established with the caller terminal by automatically responding without performing the process (step S52).

  For example, when the communication line for data communication between terminals is established, the control unit 12 of the caller terminal sends a data read request for reading data instructed at the time of data transfer operation via the communication line. (Step S53). Then, the control unit 12 of the called terminal that has received the data read request reads the data stored in the mobile phone 1 in response to the received data read request, and communicates a data read response including the read data. It may be transmitted to the caller terminal via the line (step S54). The control unit 12 of the calling terminal that receives the data read response performs data transfer by storing the data included in the data read response in the mobile phone 1. The data read request may include information indicating which data is to be read (data type, data index, data address, size, etc.).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, for example, by making a data transfer request specifying an address book, the address book used at the master terminal before switching is continuously used at the master terminal at the switching destination. It becomes possible to do. The data to be transferred is not limited to the address book, and may be a call history, an image, a game application, a music application, or the like.

  As the data transfer sequence, for example, a reserve terminal can be used as a data storage terminal by making a data write request for writing data. The data write request may include information indicating data to be written (data type, data index, data address, size, etc.) and data to be written. Further, an interface in which a called terminal serving as a data write request destination automatically reads / writes data from / to a storage device (external storage device, storage device on a personal computer, etc.) connected to the cellular phone 1 , The storage device connected to it can also be used for data storage.

  Note that the cellular phone 1 for performing the above operation is, for example, a usage in which a master / reserve compatible terminal control program requests data communication with other terminals used by the user of the cellular phone 1 in response to a user operation. On the communication line with the other used terminal established by transmitting the data communication call request between the terminals and the data communication request process for transmitting the data communication call request between terminals to the management station, the mobile phone 1 The data transmission process for transmitting predetermined data read from the storage device included in the data transmission and the data transmitted on the communication line with the other used terminal established by transmitting the data communication call request between the used terminals. This is realized by including a data writing process for receiving and writing the received data in a predetermined area of a storage device included in the portable terminal.

  In the above embodiment, an example of using communication between used terminals so that the finder can respond when the used terminal is lost has been shown. It is preferable that setting change, power-off operation invalidity, normal service lock, etc. can be performed by remote operation. Moreover, it is preferable that the location of another terminal used can be displayed.

  First, the operation for changing the ring volume setting by remote control will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the system when changing the ring volume setting while calling the sub-terminal. In addition, the example shown in FIG. 10 is an example in the case of requesting the change of the incoming call volume of the called terminal during the calling of the communication between used terminals. In FIG. 10, the operations (steps S <b> 41 to S <b> 44) until a call for communication between used terminals is performed are the same as in the example illustrated in FIG. 8. When changing the ring volume of the called terminal, it is desirable to authenticate whether the user is a legitimate user in the requesting mobile phone 1. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 12 of the mobile phone 1a-2 authenticates the mobile phone 1 by authenticating that the user is an authorized user of the mobile phone 1a-2 by an authentication operation from the user. The release state is set (step S61). Note that the authentication operation from the user may be performed from a menu display during calling of communication between used terminals.

  By transmitting an inter-terminal communication call request to the management station, when the called terminal is ringing, if the authentication is canceled, the menu display is switched to accept an incoming volume change operation. When receiving an incoming volume change operation from the user (step S62), an incoming volume change request for changing the incoming volume to the called terminal is transmitted to the management station (step S62). The incoming volume change request includes information indicating how to change the incoming volume. For example, information indicating that the incoming call volume is ringing and information indicating that the ringing volume is maximum are stored.

  The incoming call volume change request transmitted from the cellular phone 1a-2 is transmitted to the cellular phone 1a-1, which is the called terminal, via the management station (step S63). For example, when the control station receives a control request for the called terminal from the mobile phone 1 during the calling of the communication between the used terminals, the management station may transfer it to the called terminal as it is.

  The mobile phone 1a-1 that has received the incoming call volume change request changes the incoming call volume setting of the mobile phone 1a-1 in accordance with the incoming call volume change request (step S64).

  In this way, by changing the ring volume of the called terminal by remote control, it is possible to easily find the terminal that is missing. However, when the destination terminal is on the train or in the office, it may have a function that prevents the setting of the incoming call volume from being changed from other used terminals. For example, it may be in a state where mute cannot be canceled after user authentication. In addition to changing the incoming call volume, the setting of the ringing operation at the time of incoming call may be changed. For example, it may be possible to change the setting so that a voice such as “I am the owner of this mobile phone. Please respond.” It should be noted that the ring volume setting may be changed not only during communication between terminals in use but also in an idle state when the authentication is canceled.

  Note that the mobile phone 1 for performing the above operation is, for example, a control request for a master / reserve compatible terminal control program that requests a change in the settings of other used terminals in response to a user operation (in this case, an incoming call volume) This is realized by including a setting change request process for transmitting (change request) to the management station and a setting change execution process for changing the settings of the mobile phone 1 in response to a control request transferred from the management station.

  Next, the invalid operation of the power OFF operation by remote operation will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the system when the power OFF operation is invalidated by remote operation. Even when the power-off operation is invalidated, it is desirable to authenticate whether or not the user is an authorized user in the requesting mobile phone 1. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 12 of the mobile phone 1a-2 authenticates the mobile phone 1 by authenticating that the user is an authorized user of the mobile phone 1a-2 by an authentication operation from the user. The release state is set, the menu display is switched, and the power OFF lock request operation can be accepted (step S71).

  When receiving the power OFF lock request operation from the user (step S72), the control unit 12 of the mobile phone 1a-2 issues a power OFF lock request for requesting the use terminal corresponding to the input sub address to be invalid. Transmit to the management station (step S72). The power OFF lock request includes information indicating a request destination and information indicating a request source. Note that the input sub-address is stored in the information indicating the request destination. The information indicating the request source stores at least terminal identification information of the request source terminal.

  The power OFF lock request transmitted from the cellular phone 1a-2 is transmitted to the cellular phone 1a-1 that is the request destination terminal via the management station (step S73). For example, the management station may identify the request destination terminal based on the information indicating the request destination and the request source included in the power OFF lock request, and transfer the request destination terminal to the request destination terminal as it is. Note that the method of specifying the request destination terminal is the same as the method of specifying the call destination terminal of the communication between the used terminals.

  The mobile phone 1a-1 that has received the power OFF lock request invalidates the power OFF operation of the mobile phone 1a-1 in accordance with the power OFF lock request (step S74). If the mobile phone 1 to which the power OFF lock request is to be transferred cannot be transferred because the mobile phone 1 is out of service area or in the power OFF state, the management station temporarily holds the power OFF lock request, When the mobile phone 1 performs the next location registration to the management station, it may be retransmitted.

  In this way, by disabling the power-off operation by remote operation, for example, it is possible to invalidate the power-off operation by a user operation aiming to prevent location information from being acquired by a thief. As shown in FIG. 11, after invalidating the power-off operation, the mobile phone 1 may be put into an unauthenticated state.

  It is also possible to perform an invalid remote operation of an operation other than the operation related to the communication other than the used terminal communication by the same operation as the remote operation invalid of the power OFF operation. In such a case, a function lock request for requesting invalidation of an operation other than the operation related to communication other than the used terminal communication may be transmitted instead of the power OFF lock invalidation request. Then, the function lock may be performed at the request destination terminal that has received the function lock request.

  Note that the mobile phone 1 for performing the above operation is, for example, a control request for a master / reserve compatible terminal control program requesting a change in settings of other used terminals in response to a user operation (here, the power is turned off). This is realized by including a setting change request process for transmitting a lock invalidation request or a function lock request) to the management station and a setting change execution process for changing the settings of the mobile phone 1 in response to a control request transferred from the management station Is done.

  Next, the display operation of the location of another terminal used will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the system when displaying the location of another terminal used in the mobile phone 1. Even when the location of another terminal used is displayed, it is desirable to authenticate whether or not the user is a legitimate user in the requesting mobile phone 1. In the example illustrated in FIG. 12, the control unit 12 of the mobile phone 1a-2 authenticates the mobile phone 1 by authenticating that the user is an authorized user of the mobile phone 1a-2 by an authentication operation from the user. In the released state, the menu display is switched so that another use terminal location acquisition operation can be accepted (step S81).

    When the control unit 12 of the cellular phone 1a-2 receives another use terminal location acquisition operation from the user (step S82), the control unit 12 issues a location information acquisition request for information indicating the location of the use terminal corresponding to the input subaddress. It transmits to the management station (step S83). The position information acquisition request includes information indicating an object for which a location is requested and information indicating a request source. Note that the input sub-address is stored in the information indicating the target. The information indicating the request source stores at least terminal identification information of the request source terminal.

  The location information acquisition request transmitted from the cellular phone 1a-2 is transmitted to the management station provided in the core network 2 by being received by the radio base station that is performing radio communication with the cellular phone 1a-2. . Upon receiving the position information acquisition request, the management station identifies the target terminal (step S84), detects the location of the identified target terminal (step S85), and includes location information including information indicating the detected location An acquisition response is transmitted to the request source terminal (step S86). Here, the management station may detect the location of the target terminal, for example, by specifying a radio base station that is performing radio communication with the target terminal. In such a case, information indicating the position of the radio base station is transmitted to the request source terminal as information indicating the location of the target terminal. Alternatively, when the mobile phone 1 is provided with position detecting means (such as a receiving means for receiving a GPS signal), the management station issues a position information acquisition request for information indicating the location of the mobile phone 1 to the target terminal. The location of the target terminal may be detected by transmitting and receiving a position information acquisition response as a response. Then, the received position information acquisition response may be transferred to the request source terminal. In such a case, position information (for example, a GPS signal) detected by the target terminal is transmitted to the request source terminal as information indicating the location of the target terminal.

  The request source terminal that has received the location information acquisition response from the management station displays the location of the target terminal indicated by the location information acquisition response (step S87).

  Thus, by displaying the locations of other used terminals, for example, even if there is no used terminal in the range where the ringing volume can be heard, it is possible to easily find the missing used terminal.

  Note that the mobile phone 1 for performing the above operation is, for example, a control request (in this case, a position request) in which a master / reserve compatible terminal control program requests information indicating the location of another terminal used in response to a user operation. This is realized by including a use terminal location request process for transmitting (information acquisition request) to the management station and a use terminal location display process for displaying information indicating the location of the other use terminal transmitted from the management station.

  In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the subscriber directly inputs the subaddress of the use terminal. For example, the subaddress of all the use terminals of the subscriber who is the user of the mobile phone 1 is stored in the subaddress storage unit 14. Is stored, and information indicating which subaddress is assigned to the mobile phone 1 is stored, and the mobile phone 1 is a list of subaddresses of terminals used by subscribers who are users of the mobile phone 1. Sub addresses may be input by making them displayed, selecting them, and selecting them. In addition, the mobile phone 1 holds information indicating whether the mobile phone 1 is currently a reserve terminal or a master terminal. When the mobile phone 1 is set to reserve, the mobile phone 1 is in a normal service. You may make it refuse the communication call.

  The present invention is preferably applicable to any wireless communication system that provides communication services using mobile terminals such as mobile phones and PHS.
