(First embodiment)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 shows a block configuration diagram of the communication apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication device 10 includes a movement state specifying unit 11, a position specifying unit 12, a congestion state specifying unit 13, and a control unit 14.

  The movement state specifying unit 11 specifies the movement state of the communication device 10.

  For example, the movement state specifying unit 11 specifies the movement state of the communication device 10 based on the movement speed of the communication device 10. The movement state specifying unit 11 specifies that the movement state of the communication device 10 is “moving” when the movement speed of the communication device 10 is faster than 0 km / hour. Further, the movement state specifying unit 11 specifies that the movement state of the communication device 10 is “still” when the movement speed of the communication device 10 is 0 km / hour. The moving speed of the communication device 10 is attributed to an operation such as walking or running of the owner of the communication device 10. That is, the movement state specifying means 11 specifies that the movement state of the communication device 10 is “still” when the owner of the communication device 10 is stationary in the railway car running at 60 km / h. . Here, the criteria for specifying the movement state of the communication device 10 by the movement state specifying unit 11 are not particularly limited. For example, the moving state specifying means 11 specifies that the moving state of the communication device 10 is “moving” when the moving speed of the communication device 10 is faster than 1 km / h, and “still” when the moving state is less than 1 km / h. You may specify that there is.

  The position specifying unit 12 specifies the position of the communication device 10.

  The congestion state specifying unit 13 specifies the congestion state of the position of the communication device 10 specified by the position specifying unit 12.

  For example, when the position of the communication device 10 specified by the position specifying unit 12 is a station, the congestion state specifying unit 13 specifies the congestion state of the station.

  The control unit 14 stops the application running on the communication device 10 based on the movement state of the communication device 10 specified by the movement state specification unit 11 and the congestion state of the position of the communication device 10 specified by the congestion state specification unit 13. Decide whether or not to

  For example, the control unit 14 indicates that the movement state of the communication device 10 specified by the movement state specification unit 11 is “moving” and the congestion state of the position of the communication device 10 specified by the congestion state specification unit 13 is “congested”. If there is, the application running on the communication device 10 is stopped. On the other hand, the control unit 14 indicates that the movement state of the communication device 10 identified by the movement state identification unit 11 is “still” or “moving”, and the congestion state of the position of the communication device 10 identified by the congestion state identification unit 13 Is “off” or “normal”, the operation of the application running on the communication device 10 is continued.

  Next, an operation procedure in which the communication device 10 stops the running application will be described with reference to FIG.

  The movement state specifying unit 11 specifies the movement state of the communication device 10 (S101).

  The position specifying unit 12 specifies the position of the communication device 10 (S102).

  The congestion state specifying unit 13 specifies the congestion state of the position of the communication device 10 specified by the position specifying unit 12 (S103).

  The control unit 14 stops the application running on the communication device 10 based on the movement state of the communication device 10 specified by the movement state specification unit 11 and the congestion state of the position of the communication device 10 specified by the congestion state specification unit 13. It is determined whether or not to perform (S104).

  As described above, the communication device 10 according to the present embodiment determines whether to stop an application that is running on the communication device 10 based on the movement state of the communication device 10 and the congestion state of the position of the communication device 10. . Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not to stop the running application in consideration of the situation where the owner of the communication device 200 is placed, so that an accident can occur without reducing convenience. Can be suppressed.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following embodiments, the present invention will be described by taking a railway as an example, but the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to a railway.

  FIG. 3 shows a system configuration diagram of the communication system 100 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the communication system 100 includes a communication device 200 and a database holding device 300.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the communication device 200 includes a position information acquisition unit 201, a date / time information acquisition unit 202, a congestion information acquisition unit 203, a movement status determination unit 204, a control unit 205, and a second control unit 206. And a display unit 207.

  The position information acquisition unit 201 acquires position information of the communication device 200 based on GPS (Global Positioning System), map information such as route maps and topographic maps. Then, the position information acquisition unit 201 notifies the acquired position information to the congestion information acquisition unit 203, the movement status determination unit 204, and the control unit 205. Here, the position information is information indicating the current position of the communication device 200. For example, the position information acquisition unit 201 acquires, as position information, “communication device 200 is located at a position of 35 degrees 40 minutes 52 seconds north latitude and 139 degrees 46 minutes 0 seconds east longitude” based on GPS. In addition, for example, the position information acquisition unit 201 is based on GPS and map information, and “the communication device 200 is located on the XX railway line” or “the communication device 200 is located at the XX station”. Is obtained as position information.

  The date information acquisition unit 202 acquires date information using a clock function or the like. The date / time information acquisition unit 202 notifies the movement status determination unit 204 and the control unit 205 of the acquired date / time information. Here, the date information is information including date, day of the week, time, and the like. For example, the date information acquisition unit 202 acquires date information “2000, January 1, Monday, AM 0:00” using a clock function or the like.

  The congestion information acquisition unit 203 is based on the position information notified from the position information acquisition unit 201, and the station located in the traveling direction of the railway on which the owner of the communication device 200 rides or the owner of the communication device 200 is located. Identify the station to be. The congestion information acquisition unit 203 acquires the congestion information of the identified station from the database holding device 300 by wireless or the like, and notifies the control unit 205 of this. Below, two operation examples of the congestion information acquisition part 203 are shown.

  As a first operation example, the congestion information acquisition unit 203 has, for example, the position information 30 seconds ago as “communication device 200 is located at station A” and the current position information is “communication device 200 is The station located in the traveling direction of the railway on which the owner of the communication device 200 is traveling is specified as the B station. Then, the congestion information acquisition unit 203 acquires the congestion information of station B from the database holding device 300 and notifies the control unit 205 of this.

  As a second operation example, for example, when the current position information is “the communication device 200 is located at the C station”, the congestion information acquisition unit 203 determines that the owner of the communication device 200 has moved to the C station. Identify that. The congestion information acquisition unit 203 acquires the congestion information of station C from the database holding device 300 and notifies the control unit 205 of this.

  Here, the database holding device 300 grasps the real-time congestion situation of each station of the railway, collects this as congestion information, and stores it in a database held by itself. In addition, the acquisition method of the real-time congestion state of each station of the railway is not particularly limited. For example, the database holding device 300 can grasp the congestion status of each station by analyzing the number of people entering and leaving the station ticket gate in real time. The database holding device 300 is, for example, “very crowded” when the number of people in the station is 50,000 or more, and “congested” when the number of people in the station is 10,000 or more and less than 50,000. If the number of people in the station is 5,000 or more and less than 10,000, the status is “normal”, and if the number of people in the station is less than 5,000, the status is “distant.”

  Further, the database holding device 300 can also store in advance the congestion information of a station that cannot grasp the real-time congestion status in a database held by itself. For example, the database holding device 300 may store the congestion information of OO station in advance in a database held by itself as “normal” for the daytime zone and “quiet” for the late night zone. Here, an example of a database storing congestion information is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, station E corresponds to a station that cannot grasp a real-time congestion situation. For example, when the congestion information acquisition unit 203 requests the congestion information acquisition unit 203 to acquire the congestion information of the E station as the congestion information of the station that cannot grasp the real-time congestion state, the database holding device 300 The congestion information acquisition unit 203 is notified of the congestion information in the midnight and the congestion information in the holiday daytime and midnight. Then, the four pieces of notified congestion information are notified from the congestion information acquisition unit 203 to the control unit 205 as congestion information of the E station.

  Returning to the description of the communication device 200. The movement status determination unit 204 determines the movement status of the owner of the communication device 200 based on the position information notified from the position information acquisition unit 201 and the date information notified from the date information acquisition unit 202. Then, the movement status determination unit 204 notifies the control unit 205 of the determination result as movement status information. Below, five operation examples of the movement status determination unit 204 are shown.

  As a first operation example, the movement status determination unit 204 confirms that the communication device 200 is located on the railway line based on the position information. In addition, the movement status determination unit 204 confirms that the communication device 200 is moving in a fixed direction at a speed of 60 km / h based on the position information and the date / time information. The movement status determination unit 204 determines that the owner of the communication apparatus 200 is “moving on the railroad” based on the confirmed position and movement speed of the communication apparatus 200. Then, the movement status determination unit 204 notifies the control unit 205 of the determination result “moving on the railroad” as the movement status information. For example, the movement status determination unit 204 acquires the date information “January 1, AM 8:59” until the date information “January 1, AM 9:00” is acquired ( If it is confirmed that the position information has moved 1 km in a certain direction within a period of 1 minute), it is determined that the communication device 200 is moving in a certain direction at a speed of 60 km / h.

  As a second operation example, the movement status determination unit 204 confirms that the communication device 200 is located in the station premises based on the position information. Moreover, the movement status determination unit 204 confirms that the communication device 200 is moving at a speed of 4 km / h based on the position information and the date / time information. The movement status determination unit 204 determines that the owner of the communication device 200 is “walking in the station” based on the confirmed position and movement speed of the communication device 200. Then, the movement status determination unit 204 notifies the control unit 205 of the determination result “walking in the station” as the movement status information. Note that the movement status determination unit 204 can check the movement speed of the communication device 200 in the same manner as in the first operation example.

  As a third operation example, the movement status determination unit 204 confirms that the communication device 200 is located in the station premises based on the position information. In addition, the movement status determination unit 204 confirms that the communication device 200 is 0 km / hour (still) for a predetermined time or more based on the position information and the date / time information. The movement status determination unit 204 determines that the owner of the communication device 200 is “stopped in the station premises” based on the confirmed position and movement speed of the communication device 200. Then, the movement status determination unit 204 notifies the control unit 205 of the determination result “stopped in the station premises” as the movement status information. Note that the movement status determination unit 204 can check the movement speed of the communication device 200 in the same manner as in the first operation example. Further, the predetermined time or longer is not particularly limited, such as 20 seconds or longer, 40 seconds or longer, 60 seconds or longer.

  As a fourth operation example, the movement status determination unit 204 changes its own determination result from “moving on the railroad” to “stopping on the station premises” and then “moving on the railroad” within a certain time. Confirm that you have returned to. Based on the result of the confirmation, the movement status determination unit 204 determines that the owner of the communication device 200 is “moving continuously on the railway without getting off at the station”. Then, the movement status determination unit 204 notifies the control unit 205 of the determination result “moving continuously on the railroad without getting off at the station” as the movement status information. The predetermined time is not particularly limited within 20 seconds, within 40 seconds, within 60 seconds, or the like.

  As a fifth operation example, the movement status determination unit 204 confirms that its determination result has changed from “moving on the railroad” to “walking in the station”. As a result of the confirmation, the movement status determination unit 204 determines that the owner of the communication device 200 is “getting off at the station and walking in the station premises”. Then, the movement status determination unit 204 notifies the control unit 205 of the determination result “getting off the station and walking in the station premises” as the movement status information.

  The control unit 205 performs the following three operations. As the first operation, the control unit 205 monitors the operation of the second control unit 206 to acquire information such as the type of application started by the second control unit 206 as application information. As the second operation, the control unit 205 includes the position information notified from the position information acquisition unit 201, the date information notified from the date information acquisition unit 202, the congestion information notified from the congestion information acquisition unit 203, and the movement status determination. Based on the movement status information notified from the unit 204 and all or part of the acquired application information, it is determined whether or not to stop the application started by the second control unit 206. As a third operation, when the control unit 205 determines to stop the application activated by the second control unit 206 in the second operation, the control unit 205 notifies the second control unit 206 of an application stop instruction. To do. At the same time, the control unit 205 notifies the display unit 207 that the application is to be stopped. Three examples of the second operation will be described below.

  The first example is an operation performed by the control unit 205 when the owner of the communication apparatus 200 moves in a crowded place while the application is running. For example, when the movement status information is “walking in the station premises”, the congestion information is “congested”, and the application information is “running game application”, the control unit 205 “ It is determined that the owner is operating the game application while walking in a crowded station. " Based on this determination, the control unit 205 determines that “operating an application while walking in a crowded situation is dangerous for the owner of the communication device 200 and the people around it”. Then, the control unit 205 determines to stop the application activated by the second control unit 206.

  Further, as an example of the first example, the control unit 205 may, for example, have the location information “communication device 200 is located at a transfer station on a main route in the metropolitan area” and the date / time information “Monday, "AM7: 30", congestion information is "congested", movement status information is "getting off at the station and walking in the station", and application information is "activating SNS (Social Networking Service) application" If so, it operates as follows. In this case, the control unit 205 reads: “The owner of the communication device 200 gets off at a transfer station on the main route in the metropolitan area during a rush hour on weekdays and operates the SNS application while walking in a crowded station premises. Is determined. Based on this determination, the control unit 205 determines that “operating an application while walking in a crowded situation is dangerous for the owner of the communication device 200 and the people around it”. Then, the control unit 205 determines to stop the application activated by the second control unit 206.

  The second example is an operation performed by the control unit 205 when the owner of the communication apparatus 200 moves in an uncongested area while the application is running. For example, when the movement status information is “walking in the station”, the congestion information is “quiet”, and the application information is “starting the weather forecast application”, the control unit 205 “ The owner of “is operating the weather forecast application while walking in a quiet station premises.” Based on this determination, the control unit 205 determines that “operating an application while walking in a non-congested situation is not dangerous for the owner of the communication device 200 and the people around it”. Then, the control unit 205 determines to continue the operation of the application activated by the second control unit 206.

  Further, as an example of the second example, the control unit 205, for example, has the position information “Communication device 200 is located at station E in FIG. 4” and the date / time information “Sunday, PM11: 55. ”, The movement status information is“ walking in the station ”, and the application information is“ running the Internet application ”, the operation is as follows. Since the date and time information is “Sunday, PM11: 55”, the control unit 205 specifies that the congestion information of the E station is “quiet”. Based on the specified congestion information, position information, date / time information, movement status information, and application information, the control unit 205 reads: “The owner of the communication device 200 walks in a quiet E station on a holiday late at night. While operating an Internet application. Based on this determination, the control unit 205 determines that “operating an application while walking in a non-congested situation is not dangerous for the owner of the communication device 200 and the people around it”. Then, the control unit 205 determines to continue the operation of the application activated by the second control unit 206.

  Further, as an example of the second example, the control unit 205, for example, has the position information “Communication device 200 is located at station E in FIG. 4” and the date / time information “Tuesday, AM 7:00”. When the movement status information is “walking in the station premises” and the application information is “running the electronic book application”, the operation is as follows. Since the date and time information is “Tuesday, AM 7:00”, the control unit 205 specifies that the congestion information of E station is “normal”. Based on the identified congestion information, position information, date / time information, movement status information, and application information, the control unit 205 reads: “The owner of the communication device 200 is in an E station premises that is not crowded during the morning rush hour. It is determined that the electronic book application is being operated while walking. " Based on this determination, the control unit 205 determines that “operating an application while walking in a non-congested situation is not dangerous for the owner of the communication device 200 and the people around it”. Then, the control unit 205 determines to continue the operation of the application activated by the second control unit 206.

  The third example is an operation performed by the control unit 205 when the owner of the communication device 200 does not move while the application is running. For example, when the movement status information is “station is stopped in the station”, the congestion information is “congested”, and the application information is “running an e-mail application”, the control unit 205 performs “communication” It is determined that the owner of the device 200 stops and operates the e-mail application in a crowded station premises. Based on this determination, the control unit 205 determines that “stopping and operating the application in a crowded situation is not dangerous for the owner of the communication device 200 and the people around it”. Then, the control unit 205 determines to continue the operation of the application activated by the second control unit 206.

  The second control unit 206 activates an application installed in the communication device 200. In addition, when the control unit 205 is notified of an application stop instruction, the second control unit 206 stops the running application. Here, the application refers to a game, SNS, weather forecast, the Internet, an electronic book, an electronic mail, and the like.

  The display unit 207 displays various information. When the control unit 205 notifies the display unit 207 that the application is to be stopped, the display unit 207 displays, for example, a message “Stop the game application” on a display included in the display unit 207.

  Next, an operation procedure in which the communication apparatus 200 stops the running application will be described with reference to FIG.

  The position information acquisition unit 201 acquires position information of the communication device 200 based on GPS and map information. Then, the position information acquisition unit 201 notifies the acquired position information to the congestion information acquisition unit 203, the movement status determination unit 204, and the control unit 205 (S201).

  The date information acquisition unit 202 acquires date information using a clock function or the like. Then, the date information acquisition unit 202 notifies the acquired date information to the movement status determination unit 204 and the control unit 205 (S202).

  The congestion information acquisition unit 203 is based on the position information notified from the position information acquisition unit 201, and the station located in the traveling direction of the railway on which the owner of the communication device 200 rides or the owner of the communication device 200 is located. Identify the station to be. Then, the congestion information acquisition unit 203 acquires the specified congestion information of the station from the database holding device 300 by wireless or the like, and notifies this to the control unit 205 (S203).

  The movement status determination unit 204 determines the movement status of the owner of the communication device 200 based on the position information notified from the position information acquisition unit 201 and the date information notified from the date information acquisition unit 202. Then, the movement status determination unit 204 notifies the control unit 205 of the determination result as movement status information (S204).

  The control unit 205 monitors the operation of the second control unit 206 to acquire information such as the type of the application started by the second control unit 206 as application information (S205).

  In addition, the control unit 205 notifies the position information notified from the position information acquisition unit 201, the date information notified from the date information acquisition unit 202, the congestion information notified from the congestion information acquisition unit 203, and the movement status determination unit 204. Whether or not to stop the application activated by the second control unit 206 is determined based on the movement status information thus obtained and all or part of the application information acquired in S205 (S206).

  When the control unit 205 determines to stop the application activated by the second control unit 206 (YES in S206), the control unit 205 notifies the second control unit 206 of an application stop instruction. At the same time, the control unit 205 notifies the display unit 207 that the application is to be stopped (S207).

  When the control unit 205 has not decided to stop the application activated by the second control unit 206 (NO in S206), the operation step returns to S201.

  When the second control unit 206 is notified of an application stop instruction from the control unit 205, the second control unit 206 stops the running application (S208).

  When the display unit 207 is notified by the control unit 205 that the application is to be stopped, for example, the display unit 207 displays a message that “the game application is to be stopped” (S209).

  As described above, the communication apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment grasps the situation where the owner of the communication apparatus 200 is placed based on the position information, date / time information, congestion information, movement status information, and the like. Then, the communication device 200 determines whether to stop the running application based on the situation where the owner of the communication device 200 is placed.

  Therefore, according to this embodiment, the occurrence of an accident can be suppressed without reducing convenience.

  In the present embodiment, the movement status determination unit 204 confirms the movement speed of the communication device 200 based on the position information and the date / time information, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the movement status determination unit 204 may confirm the movement speed of the communication device 200 using various sensors such as an acceleration sensor.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit 205 stops the application activated by the second control unit 206, and then, based on various information notified from the position information acquisition unit 201 or the like, the control unit 205 When it is determined that the placed situation has improved to a safe state, the stopped application may be restarted. For example, after stopping the application activated by the second control unit 206, the control unit 205 changes the movement status information notified from the movement status determination unit 204 from “walking” to “still”, and then If the movement status information is “still” for a certain period of time, the stopped application may be restarted. When restarting the stopped application, the control unit 205 may notify the display unit 207 that the application is restarted. Accordingly, for example, the display unit 207 may display a message such as “I will restart the game application” on the display of the own unit.
