As a process at subsequent step S35, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the radio wave intensity detected by the process at step S34 is equal to or greater than a first radio wave intensity threshold value. Here, the first radio wave intensity threshold is a radio wave intensity that can be estimated that the transmitting terminal 10 exists within a preset distance from the mobile communication terminal 50. For example, the preset distance is a distance that can be estimated that the user of the mobile communication terminal 50 is carrying the transmitting terminal 10 while attached to a bicycle, a stroller, a school bag, or the like. The first radio field intensity threshold is set, for example, experimentally, empirically, or theoretically. If the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the radio field intensity is equal to or greater than the first radio field intensity threshold value, the process proceeds to step S36. On the other hand, if the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the radio field intensity is equal to or lower than the first radio field intensity threshold value, the process proceeds to step S37.

Through the processes in steps S31 to S35 described above, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 confirms whether or not the transmission terminal 10 associated in advance exists nearby. Hereinafter, this confirmation process is referred to as a corresponding terminal confirmation process.

When the notification processing unit 111 determines that the terminal transmission information has been received, the notification processing unit 111 proceeds to the process of step S52. When terminal transmission information is received, the terminal transmission information is either terminal transmission information transmitted from the transmission terminal 10 or terminal transmission information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 50.

As a process of step S52, the notification processing unit 111 acquires a transmission terminal ID and attachment target information included in the transmission terminal information received by the process of step S51.

(Operation, action, etc.)
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a series of processes in the position information providing system 1 according to the first embodiment. With reference to FIG. 9, an example of operations and actions in the position information providing system 1 will be described below.

By this registration process, as shown in FIG. 1, the transmission terminal 10 is associated with the user 1000 of the mobile communication terminal 50.

  In addition, when the notification processing unit 111 of the transmission terminal detection device 100 receives the transmission terminal information (information including the transmission terminal ID and the attachment target information) transmitted by the transmission terminal 10, the attachment included in the received transmission terminal information. Based on the target information, it is notified that there are bicycles, strollers, and elementary school students nearby (step S1003).

  In addition, when the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 of the mobile communication terminal 50 receives the transmission terminal information (information including the transmission terminal ID and the attachment target information) transmitted by the transmission terminal 10 by the transmission terminal auxiliary process, the corresponding terminal confirmation process Is performed (step S1004). The transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 matches the transmission terminal ID included in the transmission terminal information with the transmission terminal ID stored in the storage unit 55 and the intensity of the radio wave that has received the transmission terminal information by the corresponding terminal confirmation process. Is greater than or equal to the first radio field intensity threshold (the transmitting terminal 10 is in the short distance of the mobile communication terminal 50). If it determines with the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 satisfy | filling the conditions, it will perform transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant communication (step S1005).

ID and information including attachment target information).

  When the notification processing unit 111 of the transmission terminal detection device 100 receives the terminal transmission information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 50, a nearby bicycle, stroller, elementary school student is based on the attachment target information included in the received terminal transmission information. It is notified that there is (step S1006).

  In the mobile communication terminal 50, the calling terminal auxiliary unit 62 cannot receive the calling terminal information from the calling terminal 10 (that is, the short-range wireless communication with the calling terminal 10 is interrupted), When the radio field intensity of the distance wireless communication becomes less than the first radio field intensity threshold, the calling terminal auxiliary communication is terminated. Thereby, in the transmission terminal detection device 100, the notification based on the terminal transmission information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 50 ends.

By such processing, the transmitting terminal detection apparatus 100 can notify that there are bicycles, strollers, and elementary school students nearby when the short-distance wireless communication with the transmitting terminal 10 is possible.
When the user of the mobile communication terminal 50 has the transmission terminal 10 associated with the mobile communication terminal 50 and the transmission terminal 10 is near the mobile communication terminal 50, the transmission terminal detection device 100 Can notify that there is a bicycle, a stroller, or an elementary school student by short-range wireless communication with the mobile communication terminal 50.

Since it is larger than that (because of the boost radio wave intensity), the terminal transmission information transmitted from the transmitting terminal 10 can be received via the short-range wireless communication with the mobile communication terminal 50. As a result, the transmitting terminal detection device 100 can notify that there are bicycles, strollers, and elementary school students nearby even when the transmitting terminal 10 is far away and short-distance wireless communication with the transmitting terminal 10 is not possible. As a result, the user of the transmitting terminal detection device 100 can know the existence of a bicycle or the like that is not reached by the short-range wireless communication radio waves of the transmitting terminal 10.

The registration place is a place where bicycles and pedestrians need to pay particular attention. For example, the registered places are places with a heavy traffic volume, intersections, places where traffic accidents are likely to occur, and intersections.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a calling terminal assistance process according to the fourth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 17, first, as a process of step S <b> 151, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the transmission terminal information has been received through communication by the short-range wireless communication unit 53. When determining that the transmission terminal information has been received, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 proceeds to the process of step S152. On the other hand, if it determines with the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistance part 62 not receiving transmission terminal information, it will progress to the process of step S161.

As the process of step S152, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 acquires the transmission terminal ID and the attachment target information included in the transmission terminal information received by the process of step S151.
As the process of subsequent step S153, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the transmission terminal associated with the transmission terminal information received by the process of step S151 is transmitted in advance. Specifically, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 receives the transmission terminal information received by the process of step S151 when the transmission terminal ID acquired by the process of step S152 matches the transmission terminal ID stored in the storage unit 55. Is determined to have been transmitted by a caller terminal associated in advance. If the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the transmission terminal information received in advance in the process of step S151 is transmitted in advance, the process proceeds to the process of step S154. On the other hand, if the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that this is not the case, the transmitting terminal auxiliary process ends.

As the process of step S154, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 detects the intensity of the radio wave that has received the transmission terminal information by the process of step S151, that is, the radio field intensity of the transmission terminal associated in advance.
As the process of subsequent step S155, the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the radio wave intensity detected by the process of step S154 is greater than or equal to the first radio wave intensity threshold value. If the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the radio field intensity is equal to or greater than the first radio field intensity threshold, the process proceeds to step S156. On the other hand, if the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the radio field intensity is less than the first radio field intensity threshold value, the process proceeds to step S161.

  As the process of subsequent step S160, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the current position is included in the attention area based on the comparison result obtained by the process of step S159. Here, the attention area is an area indicated by the attention area associated with the registered location in the hazard map with the position of the registered location of the hazard map as the center. The registration location used at this time is a registration location associated with a time zone including the current time. Therefore, the current position may or may not be included in the attention area depending on the current time. The transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the current position is included in the caution area when the current position exists in the area of the caution range. If the calling terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the current position is included in the attention area, the process proceeds to step S160. On the other hand, if the calling terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the current position is not included in the caution area, the process proceeds to step S161.

(Operation, action, etc.)
FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a series of processes in the position information providing system 1 according to the fourth embodiment. With reference to FIG. 18, an example of operations and actions in the position information providing system 1 will be described below. In the fourth embodiment, there is a feature in the transmission terminal auxiliary process, and the transmission terminal auxiliary process will be mainly described.

  In 4th Embodiment, the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 of the mobile communication terminal 50 will respond, if the transmission terminal information (information including transmission terminal ID and attachment object information) which the transmission terminal 10 transmitted is received by transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant process. Terminal confirmation processing is performed (step S1041). The transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 matches the transmission terminal ID included in the transmission terminal information with the transmission terminal ID stored in the storage unit 55 and the intensity of the radio wave that has received the transmission terminal information by the corresponding terminal confirmation process. Is greater than or equal to the first radio field intensity threshold (the transmitting terminal 10 is in the short distance of the mobile communication terminal 50). When determining that the condition is satisfied, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 compares the current position, the current time, and the hazard map of the mobile communication terminal 50 (step S1042). If the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the current position of the mobile communication terminal 50 is included in the attention area as a result of the comparison, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 performs transmission terminal auxiliary communication (step S1043).

  The transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 uses the same terminal transmission information (transmitting terminal) as that transmitted by the transmitting terminal 10 associated with its own mobile communication terminal 50 by short-range wireless communication with boosted radio field intensity as transmitting terminal auxiliary communication. ID and information including attachment target information).

  When the notification processing unit 111 of the transmission terminal detection device 100 receives the terminal transmission information transmitted by the mobile communication terminal 50, the notification processing unit 111 is close based on the received terminal transmission information (attachment target information included in the terminal transmission information). It is notified that there are bicycles, strollers, and elementary school students (step S1044).

  And in the mobile communication terminal 50, the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 becomes unable to receive transmission terminal information from the transmission terminal 10, or the field strength of short-distance wireless communication with the transmission terminal 10 is less than a 1st field strength threshold value. When this happens, the calling terminal auxiliary communication is terminated. Further, the calling terminal auxiliary unit 62 ends the calling terminal auxiliary communication when the current position of the mobile communication terminal 50 is not included in the attention area. Thereby, in the transmission terminal detection device 100, the notification based on the terminal transmission information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 50 ends.

By such processing, the transmitting terminal detection apparatus 100 can notify that there are bicycles, strollers, and elementary school students nearby when the short-distance wireless communication with the transmitting terminal 10 is possible.
Then, when the transmission terminal 10 is near the mobile communication terminal 50 and the current position of the mobile communication terminal 50 is included in the caution area, the transmission terminal detection device 100 is connected to the mobile communication terminal 50 with short-range wireless communication. Communication can inform you that there are bicycles, strollers, and elementary school students nearby.

  Furthermore, even if the transmitting terminal 10 cannot perform near field communication with the transmitting terminal 10 because the transmitting terminal 10 is far away, the signal strength of the short distance wireless communication of the mobile communication terminal 50 is the same as that of the transmitting terminal 10. Since it is larger than that (because of the boost radio wave intensity), the terminal transmission information transmitted from the transmitting terminal 10 can be received via the short-range wireless communication with the mobile communication terminal 50. As a result, the transmitting terminal detection device 100 can notify that there are bicycles, strollers, and elementary school students nearby even when the transmitting terminal 10 is far away and short-distance wireless communication with the transmitting terminal 10 is not possible. As a result, the user of the transmitting terminal detection device 100 can know the existence of a bicycle or the like that is not reached by the short-range wireless communication radio waves of the transmitting terminal 10.

  Further, since it is a condition that the mobile terminal 50 includes the current position of the mobile communication terminal 50 within the caution area, the mobile communication terminal 50 must be aware of its current position. The terminal transmission information is transmitted by the boost radio wave intensity only when in the area. As a result, the transmitting terminal detection apparatus 100 can reliably receive the terminal transmitting information when the mobile communication terminal 50 is in the attention area. As a result, the user of the transmitting terminal detection device 100 can surely know the existence of a bicycle or the like at a place where there is a lot of traffic, an intersection or a place where a traffic accident is likely to occur, an intersection, or the like.

Next, an eighth embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the eighth embodiment, the position information providing system 1 is cited. In the eighth embodiment, the same configurations and the same processes as those in the first to seventh embodiments will be described with the same reference numerals, and the description will be omitted or simplified to avoid redundant descriptions.

  In the eighth embodiment, when the mobile communication terminal 50 is approaching the intersection, the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 of the mobile communication terminal 50 determines the movement status of the mobile communication terminal 50 by short-range wireless communication with boosted radio wave intensity. Executes the calling terminal auxiliary process for sending.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a calling terminal assistance process in the eighth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 28, first, as a process of step S271, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the transmission terminal information has been received by communication by the short-range wireless communication unit 53. When determining that the transmission terminal information has been received, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 proceeds to the process of step S272. On the other hand, if the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the transmission terminal information has not been received, the process proceeds to step S282.

As the process of step S272, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 acquires the transmission terminal ID and the attachment target information included in the transmission terminal information received by the process of step S271.
As processing of subsequent step S273, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the transmission terminal 10 previously associated with the transmission terminal information received by the processing of step S271 has transmitted. Specifically, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 receives the transmission terminal information received by the process of step S271 when the transmission terminal ID acquired by the process of step S272 matches the transmission terminal ID stored in the storage unit 55. Is determined to have been transmitted by the transmitting terminal 10 associated in advance. If the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the transmission terminal 10 received in advance in the process of step S271 is associated with the transmission terminal 10 in advance, the process proceeds to the process of step S274. On the other hand, if the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that this is not the case, the transmitting terminal auxiliary process ends.

As the process of step S274, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 detects the intensity of the radio wave that has received the transmission terminal information by the process of step S271, that is, the radio field intensity of the transmission terminal 10 associated in advance.
As the process of subsequent step S275, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the radio wave intensity detected by the process of step S274 is equal to or greater than the first radio wave intensity threshold value. If the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the radio field intensity is equal to or greater than the first radio field intensity threshold, the process proceeds to step S276. On the other hand, if the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the radio field intensity is less than the first radio field intensity threshold value, the process proceeds to step S282.
The processes from step S271 to step S275 are the corresponding terminal confirmation process.

  As a process of step S276, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the utility pole side transmission terminal information has been received through communication by the short-range wireless communication unit 53. If it determines with the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 having received telephone pole side transmission terminal information, it will progress to the process of step S277. On the other hand, if it determines with the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistance part 62 not having received telephone pole side transmission terminal information, it will progress to the process of step S282.

As the process of step S277, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 acquires the transmission terminal ID, the attachment target information, and the position information included in the utility pole side transmission terminal information received by the process of step S277.
Here, the process of step S276 and step S277 is a utility pole side terminal confirmation process.

  As a process of step S278, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 estimates the movement status of its own mobile communication terminal 50 based on the reception status of the signal of the utility pole side transmission terminal information. Specifically, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62, when the time interval at which the utility pole side transmission terminal 200 receives a signal from the utility pole side transmission terminal 200 is shorter than the time interval at which the utility pole side transmission terminal 200 transmits a signal by short-range wireless communication, It is estimated that the mobile communication terminal 50 is approaching the utility pole to which the utility pole-side transmission terminal 200 is attached. On the other hand, when the time interval for actually receiving a signal from the power pole side transmission terminal 200 is longer than the time interval for the power pole side transmission terminal 200 to transmit a signal by short-range wireless communication, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 It is estimated that the mobile communication terminal 50 is moving away from the utility pole to which the transmission terminal 200 is attached.

Alternatively, when the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 continuously receives signals from the utility pole-side transmission terminal 200 and the received time interval is shortened, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 is connected to the utility pole to which the utility pole-side transmission terminal 200 is attached. It is estimated that the own mobile communication terminal 50 is approaching. On the other hand, when the received time interval becomes longer when signals are continuously received from the utility pole-side transmitting terminal 200, the mobile communication terminal 50 of the mobile phone terminal 50 is connected from the utility pole to which the utility pole-side transmitting terminal 200 is attached. Estimated to be away. Moreover, the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 estimates that the utility pole side transmission terminal 200 has stopped, when the time interval received when receiving the signal from the utility pole side transmission terminal 200 is constant.
As the process of subsequent step S279, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 acquires information on the current position (longitude, latitude) of the mobile communication terminal 50 from the positioning unit 56.

  As the process of step S280, the calling terminal auxiliary unit 62 uses the mobile communication terminal 50 based on the movement status of the mobile communication terminal 50 estimated by the process of step S278 and the position information of the mobile communication terminal 50 acquired by the process of step S279. It is determined whether 50 is moving toward the intersection. For example, the map information including the position information of the intersection is stored in the storage unit 55, and the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 compares the map information with the current position and movement status of the mobile communication terminal 50, and It is determined whether or not there is an intersection in the direction toward the communication terminal 50. When the transmitting terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that the mobile communication terminal 50 is moving toward the intersection through such processing, the processing proceeds to processing in step S281. On the other hand, if the calling terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines that this is not the case, for example, if it is determined that the mobile communication terminal 50 is stopped or the mobile communication terminal 50 is moving away from the intersection, the process proceeds to step S282.

  As processing of subsequent step S281, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 performs transmission terminal auxiliary communication. Specifically, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 controls the short-range wireless communication unit 53 as the transmission terminal auxiliary communication, and terminal transmission information (information including the transmission terminal ID and attachment target information) acquired by the process of step S272. Including the position information of the portable communication terminal 50 acquired by the process of step S279, and transmitting by near field communication with boosted radio wave intensity.

  On the other hand, as a process of step S282, when the transmission terminal auxiliary communication is performed by the short-range wireless communication unit 53, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 stops the transmission terminal auxiliary communication.

(Operation, action, etc.)
FIG. 29 is a diagram illustrating a series of processes in the position information providing system 1 according to the eighth embodiment. With reference to FIG. 29, an example of operations and actions in the position information providing system 1 will be described below. In the eighth embodiment, there is a feature in the transmission terminal auxiliary process, and the transmission terminal auxiliary process will be mainly described.

  In 8th Embodiment, the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 of the portable communication terminal 50 will respond, if the transmission terminal information (information including transmission terminal ID and attachment object information) which the transmission terminal 10 transmitted is received by transmission terminal assistance processing. Terminal confirmation processing is performed (step S1081). The transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 matches the transmission terminal ID included in the transmission terminal information with the transmission terminal ID stored in the storage unit 55 and the intensity of the radio wave that has received the transmission terminal information by the corresponding terminal confirmation process. Is greater than or equal to the first radio field intensity threshold (the transmitting terminal 10 is in the short distance of the mobile communication terminal 50). And if the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 determines with satisfy | filling the conditions, it will perform a telephone pole side terminal confirmation process (step S1082). The transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 acquires the utility pole side transmission terminal information from the utility pole side transmission terminal 200 by the utility pole side terminal confirmation process. And the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 estimates the movement condition of the own mobile communication terminal 50 based on the acquired telephone pole side transmission terminal information (step S1083). Furthermore, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 acquires information on the current position of the mobile communication terminal 50 of itself (step S1084). Then, the calling terminal auxiliary unit 62 determines whether or not the mobile communication terminal 50 is heading for an intersection based on the movement status and the current position of the mobile communication terminal 50 of itself (step S1085). When determining that the mobile communication terminal 50 is heading for the intersection, the transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 performs transmission terminal auxiliary communication (step S1086).

  The transmission terminal auxiliary unit 62 transmits the same terminal transmission information (information including the transmission terminal ID and the attachment target information) that is transmitted from the transmission terminal 10 associated with its own mobile communication terminal 50 as the transmission terminal auxiliary communication. The information is transmitted by short-range wireless communication with boosted radio field strength including the current position information of the mobile communication terminal 50.

  When the notification processing unit 111 of the transmission terminal detection device 100 receives the terminal transmission information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 50, the notification processing unit 111 receives the terminal transmission information (attachment target information and position information included in the terminal transmission information) based on the received terminal transmission information. The presence of nearby bicycles, strollers, and elementary school students including their positions is notified (step S1087).

  And in the mobile communication terminal 50, the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 becomes unable to receive transmission terminal information from the transmission terminal 10, or the field strength of short-distance wireless communication with the transmission terminal 10 is less than a 1st field strength threshold value. When this happens, the calling terminal auxiliary communication is terminated. Moreover, the transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant part 62 complete | finishes transmission terminal auxiliary | assistant communication, when it becomes impossible to receive telephone pole side transmission terminal information from the utility pole side transmission terminal 200. FIG. Thereby, in the transmission terminal detection device 100, the notification based on the terminal transmission information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 50 ends.

  Through such processing, the mobile communication terminal 50 determines whether or not the mobile communication terminal 50 is heading for the intersection based on the power pole side transmission terminal information transmitted from the power pole side transmission terminal 200, and when the mobile communication terminal 50 is heading for the intersection. In addition, the current position information can be included in the terminal transmission information and transmitted to the transmission terminal detecting device 100. At that time, the mobile communication terminal 50 transmits the signal by short-range wireless communication with boosted radio wave intensity.

  As a result, the transmitting terminal detection device 100 can reliably receive the terminal transmission information when there is a mobile communication terminal 50 that is approaching a nearby intersection, and can be notified based on the terminal transmission information. As a result, the user of the transmitting terminal detection device 100 can know the presence and position of a bicycle or the like that is approaching a nearby intersection. For example, if the transmission terminal detection device 100 is a vehicle-mounted device, the driver knows the presence and position of a bicycle that is approaching the intersection where the host vehicle is about to enter by notification from the transmission terminal detection device 100. Can do.

  In addition, since the mobile communication terminal 50 transmits the terminal transmission information only when the mobile communication terminal 50 is heading for the intersection, the mobile communication terminal 50 transmits the terminal transmission information in vain, such as when there is a low need for notification from the transmission terminal detection device 100. Can be prevented. As a result, for example, the mobile communication terminal 50 can reduce power consumption.

(Effect in 8th Embodiment)
(1) The mobile communication terminal 50 can communicate with the calling terminal detection apparatus 100 by the short-range wireless communication unit 53 based on the communication state between the calling terminal 10 and itself. As a result, the mobile communication terminal 50 can communicate with the transmitting terminal detection apparatus 100 by using the function equivalent to or higher than that of the transmitting terminal 10 together with or instead of the transmitting terminal 10. As a result, the transmission terminal detection device 100 can more easily detect information of the transmission terminal 10, for example, information transmitted by the transmission terminal 10.

(2) The mobile communication terminal 50 can communicate with the transmitting terminal detection device 100 by the short-range wireless communication unit 53 in which the radio field intensity is controlled based on the communication state between the transmitting terminal 10 and itself. As a result, the transmission terminal detection device 100 can more easily detect information of the transmission terminal 10, for example, information transmitted by the transmission terminal 10.

(3) When the mobile communication terminal 50 is associated with the transmission terminal 10 in advance, the short-range wireless communication unit 53 performs a transmission terminal detection device based on the communication state between itself and the transmission terminal 10. Communication with 100 is possible.

(4) The mobile communication terminal 50 transmits itself and the transmission when the radio wave intensity of the transmission terminal 10 is equal to or greater than the first radio wave intensity threshold, that is, when the transmission terminal 10 is within a preset distance.

It can be transmitted by the wireless communication of the unit 53.

(7) The mobile communication terminal 50 communicates with the transmitting terminal detection device 100 by the short-range wireless communication unit 53 based on the communication state between itself and the transmitting terminal 10 and information from the utility pole-side transmitting terminal 200.
