  Here, the charge management unit 109 functions as the electromotive force using the power received via the power receiving connector. When the control unit 101 is driven by the power stored in the rechargeable battery 107, the charge management unit 109 controls power supply to the rechargeable battery 107 based on a control signal output from the control unit 101. On the other hand, when the control unit 101 does not drive because no power is stored in the rechargeable battery 107, the charge management unit 109 supplies, for example, the minimum power necessary for the charge control of the control unit 101. The rechargeable battery 107 may be charged.

  Next, the operation of the charging function by the portable terminal charging system 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 101 of the mobile terminal 10 includes functional units such as a charger learning unit 1011, a charger identification information acquisition unit 1012, a charger identification information comparison / determination unit 1013, and a charge control unit 1014. The

  When the non-contact communication unit 105 receives the data signal including the identification information of the charger 20 transmitted by the non-contact IC chip 201 of the charger 20, the charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 receives the charger 20 from the received data signal. Get identification information for. The charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 outputs the acquired identification information of the charger 20 to the charger learning unit 1011 when the charger learning process shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the charging control process shown in FIG. 5 is being executed, the acquired identification information of the charger 20 is output to the charger identification information comparison / determination unit 1013.

  When the identification information input from the charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 is new information, the charger learning unit 1011 adds the identification information to the charger identification information list 1061 of the storage unit 106.

  The charger identification information comparison / determination unit 1013 collates the identification information input from the charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 with the identification information included in the charger identification information list 1061, and when both match, The collation result is output to charging control unit 1014.

  The charge control unit 1014 outputs a control signal instructing the start of charging to the charge management unit 109 based on the input verification result. Receiving the control signal, the charge management unit 109 starts supplying the power received by the power receiving connector 108 to the rechargeable battery 107. The rechargeable battery 107 is charged with the supplied power.

  Processing executed by the control unit 101 configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing charger learning processing, FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing charging control processing, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing charger registration information erasing processing. Each process is performed independently of each other.

  First, the charger learning process will be described with reference to FIG. The charger learning process starts when an operation for selecting execution of the charger learning process is input from the operation unit 104 when the setting screen related to charging is displayed on the display unit 103.

  The control unit 101 displays a password input screen on the display unit 103 and prompts the user to input a password (step S101). On the other hand, the user operates the operation unit 104 to input a password. If the authentication is successful with the entered password (step S102: Yes), a timer provided in the control unit 101 is started (step S103) and waits until a non-contact IC chip is detected (step S104). On the other hand, if the authentication is not successful (step S102: No), an error message is displayed on the display unit 103 to prompt the user to input the personal identification number again.

  When the non-contact communication unit 105 receives a radio signal transmitted from the non-contact IC chip, the non-contact communication unit 105 converts the radio signal into an electric signal that can be handled by the control unit 101 and inputs the electric signal to the control unit 101. When the charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 of the control unit 101 detects the non-contact IC chip by the signal input from the non-contact communication unit 105 (step S104: Yes), it extracts and acquires the identification information from the input signal (step S105). ). The charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 outputs the acquired identification information to the charger learning unit 1011.

  On the other hand, when a non-contact IC chip is not detected (step S104: No), it is determined whether the timer has expired (step S106). If it is determined that the timer has not expired (step S106: No), the detection of the non-contact IC chip is continued (step S104). If it is determined that the timer has expired (step S106: Yes), an error message indicating that the charger could not be detected is displayed (step S110), and the process is terminated.

  The identification information for identifying the charger acquired in step S105 may include arbitrary information, but in this embodiment, the information indicating the type of the charger and the information for identifying the individual in the same type of charger. It is configured.

  The charger learning unit 1011 extracts information indicating the type of the charger from the input identification information, and determines whether or not the type of the charger conforms to the specifications of the mobile terminal 10 (step S107). When it is determined that the type of the charger is suitable for the mobile terminal 10 (step S107: Yes), the process proceeds to step S108. On the other hand, if it is determined that the input identification information is identification information indicating the type of charger that is not compatible with the mobile terminal 10 (step S107: No), an error message indicating that the charger cannot be registered because it is not a compatible model. Is displayed (step S110), and the process is terminated.

  In step S108, the acquired identification information is collated with the identification information stored in the charger identification information list 1061 of the storage unit 106, and when there is no matching identification information (step S108: No), the charger identification is performed. It is additionally registered in the information list 1061 (step S109). On the other hand, if there is matching identification information (step S108: Yes), an error message indicating that this charger has already been registered and cannot be additionally registered is displayed (step S110), and the process is terminated.

  Next, the charging control process will be described with reference to FIG. The charge control process starts when the power receiving connector 108 is connected to the power transmission connector 202 of the charger 20 and the charge management unit 109 starts driving. When the control unit 101 is not driven because the rechargeable battery 107 is not charged, the rechargeable battery 107 is charged with the minimum power required for the charge control by the control of the charge management unit 109. Thereafter, the charging control process is started.

  First, the control unit 101 determines whether there is identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061 of the storage unit 106 (step S201). When there is no identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061 (step S201: No), the process proceeds to step S204 to start charging.

  Here, the reason why charging is started when there is no identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061 is as follows. The first is to allow charging when the mobile terminal 10 is initially set. The second is temporarily registered in the charger identification information list 1061 when charging is not possible because there is no charger having the identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061 while going out. This is because the identification information is erased so that charging is possible. The registration information erasure process (charger registration information erasure process) in the charger identification information list 1061 will be described later.

  On the other hand, when there is identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061 (step S201: Yes), the charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 of the control unit 101 is connected to the portable terminal 10. 20 identification information is acquired (step S202).

  That is, when the mobile terminal 10 is connected to the charger 20, the distance between the mobile terminal 10 and the charger 20 is a distance capable of non-contact communication, so the non-contact communication unit 105 is a non-contact IC chip. The radio signal transmitted from is received. The non-contact communication unit 105 converts the radio signal into an electrical signal that can be handled by the control unit 101 and inputs the electrical signal to the control unit 101. The charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 of the control unit 101 extracts and acquires identification information from the input signal from the non-contact communication unit 105 (step S202). The charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 inputs the acquired identification information to the charger identification information comparison determination unit 1013.

  The charger identification information comparison / determination unit 1013 compares the identification information input from the charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 with the identification information stored in the charger identification information list 1061 of the storage unit 106, and the matching identification information is found. If there is (step S203: Yes), a signal indicating the comparison result is output to the charging control unit 1014. Based on the input signal, the charging control unit 1014 determines that the currently connected charger 20 is a charger that permits charging, and instructs the charging management unit 109 to start charging. Is output (step S204). On the other hand, when there is no matching identification information (step S203: No), since this charger 20 is not registered as a charger that permits charging, an error message indicating that charging cannot be performed is displayed on the display unit 103. (Step S205), the process is terminated.

  After starting charging in step S204, the charge management unit 109 monitors the charge amount of the rechargeable battery 107. When the charge amount expires, the charge management unit 109 stops charging and outputs a signal indicating that the charge amount has expired to the control unit 101. The control unit 101 determines whether or not the amount of charge has expired depending on whether or not the signal is input (step S206). If it is determined that the amount of charge has not expired (step S206: No), charging is continued without performing any processing. On the other hand, if it determines with the charge amount having expired (step S206: Yes), the control part 101 will complete | finish a process.

  Next, the charger registration information erasing process will be described with reference to FIG. The charger registration information erasure process starts when an operation for selecting execution of the charger registration information erasure process is input from the operation unit 104 when the display unit 103 displays the charging setting screen.

  This process starts charging when there is no identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061 of the storage unit 106 in the above-described charging control process (FIG. 5, step S201: No) (step S204). Corresponding to having a function, the identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061 is erased to enable charging.

  The control unit 101 displays a password entry screen on the display unit 103 and prompts the user to enter a password (step S301). On the other hand, the user operates the operation unit 104 to input a password. If the authentication is successful with the entered password (step S302: Yes), the process proceeds to the next process (step S303). On the other hand, if the entered password is different from the registered number and the authentication is not successful (step S302: No), the password is entered again (step S301).

  In step S <b> 303, a message confirming that the identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061 is deleted is displayed on the display unit 103. On the other hand, when the user confirms that the operation unit 104 is erased and presses the confirmation button (step S304: Yes), it is registered in the charger identification information list 1061 of the storage unit 106. The identification information is erased and the process is terminated (step S305). On the other hand, when the user determines to stop the erasing process and presses a cancel button for instructing to cancel the process (step S304: No), the process ends.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a list of identification information of chargers that are allowed to be charged is stored in advance in the storage unit 106 of the mobile terminal 10, and when the mobile terminal 10 is connected to the charger 20, The identification information stored in the non-contact IC chip 201 provided in the charger 20 is acquired, collated with the identification information list stored in the storage unit 106, and charging is started only when they match. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the unauthorized use of the portable terminal 10 from being continued by a third party charging the portable terminal 10 without permission with a simple configuration in which the charger 20 includes a non-contact IC chip. . Moreover, since the user can arbitrarily set the charger 20 that permits charging by the charger learning process, even if the charger is replaced or purchased later, the charger 10 charges the mobile phone 10 with the charger. Can be set to

  As described above, according to the present invention, the identification information of the charger that permits charging is stored in the storage unit of the portable terminal in advance, and the identification information of the charger is read by the portable terminal and stored as the read identification information. It is determined whether or not the identification information matches, and charging from the charger is controlled based on the result. Thereby, unauthorized use of a third-party mobile terminal can be eliminated with a simple configuration.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Of course, the various change in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention is possible.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the mobile terminal according to the present invention includes a charger identification information acquisition unit 1012, a charger identification information comparison / determination unit 1013, a charge control unit 1014, and a storage unit 106. Any structure having at least the rechargeable battery 107 may be used. In this case, the rechargeable battery 107 is charged with power supplied from the external charger, and the storage unit 106 stores identification information of the external charger that permits the power supply to the rechargeable battery 107, and the charger identification information. The acquisition unit 1012 reads the identification information of the external charger, and the charger identification information comparison / determination unit 1013 is one of the identification information stored in the storage unit 106. The identification information read by the charger identification information acquisition unit 1012 is The charging control unit 1014 performs control to start charging from the external charger to the rechargeable battery 107 when it is determined that the charger identification information comparison determination unit 1013 matches. . The portable terminal having the above simple configuration can eliminate unauthorized use by a third party.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it was set as the structure which supplies electric power to the portable terminal 10 from the charger 20 provided with the non-contact IC chip 201 which memorize | stores identification information, the supply source which supplies electric power is not restricted to the charger 20, Non- Other power supply sources such as an AC outlet provided with the contact IC chip 201 may be used.

  In addition, the power supplied from the charger 20 is charged to the rechargeable battery 107 of the mobile terminal 10, but the power supplied from the AC outlet is directly supplied as power for driving the mobile terminal 10. May be. In this case, the AC outlet includes a non-contact IC chip 201 for storing identification information, and when the AC plug including the non-contact communication unit is inserted into the AC outlet, the identification information is acquired and verified to control power supply. Like that.

  In addition, the identification information of the charger 20 is wirelessly transmitted to the portable terminal 10 from the non-contact IC chip 201 provided in the charger. However, the method for acquiring the identification information is not limited to this, and an arbitrary communication method such as infrared communication is used. You may acquire by communication. Moreover, you may transmit using the power transmission line from the power transmission connector 202 of the charger 20 to the power receiving connector 108 of the portable terminal 10. Further, the barcode attached to the charger 20 may be read by a barcode reader provided in the mobile terminal 10.

  Further, the number of identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061 may be an arbitrary number of 1 or more. If the number of registrations is set to be small, unauthorized registration can be avoided.

  Further, the power transmission from the charger 20 to the portable terminal 10 is contact power transmission, but non-contact power transmission using electromagnetic induction or the like may be used. In this case, a wireless communication method is selected so that wireless signals including identification information can be transmitted at a distance between the portable terminal capable of contactless power transmission and the charger.

  Also, in the charging control process, charging is started when there is no identification information registered in the charger identification information list 1061. However, a configuration in which reading of the identification information is temporarily disabled can be configured. It may be possible to charge the battery when it is temporarily disabled. In this case, for the temporary invalid setting, authentication by a personal identification number or the like is performed, and when the authentication is successful, the reading of the identification information is disabled after limiting the time. Then, before the step S202 in the flowchart of the charging control process shown in FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not the reading of the identification information is temporarily invalidated. The process proceeds to S204 to start charging. Thereby, even if reading of identification information is temporarily invalidated when going out, the identification information of the charger registered previously becomes effective when going home, and the effort of re-registration can be saved.

  In addition, by applying a program of processing executed by the control unit 101 of the above-described embodiment to an existing mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can function as the mobile terminal according to the present invention.

  Such a program distribution method is arbitrary, for example, a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read-Only Memory), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), an MO (Magneto Optical Disk), or a memory card. It may be stored and distributed in the network, or distributed via a communication network such as a mobile phone network or the Internet.
