<First Embodiment>
The alarm output device 1 according to the first embodiment outputs alarm information when the user stays near a facility (hereinafter referred to as a gambling facility) where a user can perform gambling set in advance for a predetermined time or more. It is a device to do. The alarm information is, for example, a loud alarm sound. The alarm output device 1 is attached with a key holder, and can be used by being attached to an object that a user usually wears, for example, a house key, a car key, a wallet or the like. The key holder of the alarm output device 1 is made of a material that is not easily broken. For example, once the key is inserted, the key holder cannot be removed again with a bare hand. The material that is not easily destroyed is, for example, a metal such as iron, and is preferably an alloy of high-hardness steel.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an outline of the operation of the alarm output device 1. In FIG. 1, it is assumed that the user U who has the portable alarm output device 1 is on the vehicle. The vehicle P1 is a vehicle that the user U has parked in the parking lot of the gambling facility A. When the alarm output device 1 possessed by the user U determines that the position of the own device is included in the predetermined range R from the gambling facility A, the alarm output device 1 starts measuring time. If the alarm output device 1 determines that the position of the own device is included in the predetermined range R after a predetermined delay time has elapsed, the alarm output device 1 outputs an alarm sound. As will be described later, the user U can set a delay time, but the delay time has an upper limit. The predetermined delay time is, for example, within 5 minutes.

  The vehicle P2 is a vehicle traveling on a road near the gambling facility A. It is assumed that the vehicle P2 moves out of the range R before entering a range R and before a predetermined delay time elapses. When the alarm output device 1 determines that the position of its own device is included within the predetermined range R from the gambling facility A, the alarm output device 1 starts measuring time. If the alarm output device 1 determines that the position of the own device is not included in the predetermined range R after a predetermined delay time has elapsed, the alarm output device 1 does not output an alarm sound.

  The vehicle P3 is a vehicle that the user U parked in the parking lot of the convenience store B. When the alarm output device 1 possessed by the user U determines that the position of the own device is not included in the predetermined range R from the gambling facility A, the alarm output device 1 does not output an alarm sound.

  In this way, the alarm output device 1 outputs an alarm sound when a predetermined delay time has elapsed since the position of its own device is within a predetermined range from the gambling facility. By doing in this way, the warning output device 1 outputs a warning sound when the user is likely to enter the gambling facility A, and when the user is moving in the vicinity of the gambling facility A or in a nearby convenience store. No warning sound is output when entering B. Therefore, the user can suppress a gambling act without trouble in daily life. The gambling facility is, for example, a pachinko shop, a racetrack, a bicycle race track, a boat race track, or an auto race track, but is not particularly limited. Hereinafter, the configuration and function of the alarm output device 1 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the alarm output device 1. The alarm output device 1 includes an alarm device 10, a microphone 11, a position sensor 12, a communication unit 13, a battery 14, a charging unit 15, a power button 16, a storage unit 17, and a control unit 18. . The control unit 18 includes a sound detection unit 180, a position information acquisition unit 181, a remaining amount detection unit 182, a power supply control unit 183, a setting unit 184, and an output control unit 185.

  The alarm device 10 is, for example, a speaker or an electronic bell that emits an alarm sound. The loudness of the alarm sound output from the alarm device 10 is preferably 100 decibels or more, and more preferably 130 decibels or more.

  The position sensor 12 is, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, receives position information indicating the position of the alarm output device 1 from a GPS satellite, and notifies the position information acquisition unit 181 of the position information. The microphone 11 converts ambient sound into a sound signal and inputs the sound signal to the sound detection unit 180.

  The communication unit 13 is a communication interface for communicating with other terminals. The communication unit 13 may include a wireless communication module or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connection terminal, and the communication method is not particularly limited. The communication part 13 receives the information or instruction | indication which the user input into the other terminal from the other terminal. The communication unit 13 notifies the setting unit 184 of the received information or instruction.

  The battery 14 is a battery that supplies power for operating the alarm output device 1. The battery 14 is a rechargeable secondary battery, for example, a lithium ion battery or a lithium ion polymer secondary battery. The battery 14 is configured so that it cannot be removed from the alarm output device 1.

  The charging unit 15 is a charging unit that charges a battery. Charging unit 15 has a connection terminal for connection to an outlet. When the connection terminal is connected to the outlet, the charging unit 15 starts charging the battery 14 and notifies the output control unit 185 that charging has started.

  The power button 16 is a button for starting or stopping the alarm output device 1. When the power button 16 detects that the user has pressed the power button 16, the power button 16 notifies the power supply control unit 183 that the power button 16 has been pressed.

  The alarm output device 1 may not have the power button 16. The alarm output device 1 may have a sheet for cutting off the connection between the battery 14 and each unit, or a pin for starting the own machine, instead of the power button 16. A user who has purchased the alarm output device 1 activates the alarm output device 1 by removing a sheet or a pin provided in the alarm output device 1 from the alarm output device 1. The sheet or pin of the alarm output device 1 is configured so that once it is removed, it cannot be attached again. Since the user cannot stop the operation of the alarm output device 1 when the operation of the alarm output device 1 is started, it is possible to prevent the gambling action from being performed effectively.

  The memory | storage part 17 is a memory | storage part which memorize | stores the range information which shows the alarm range which is the range of the position which outputs an alarm sound. The range information is, for example, information in which position information indicating a position is associated with a predetermined distance from the position indicated by the position information. Specifically, the range information is information indicating a position within a range R at a predetermined distance from the gambling facility A, as shown in FIG. The predetermined distance is, for example, 50 m. The storage unit 17 may store a plurality of range information. For example, the storage unit 17 stores, as range information, range information indicating a position within the predetermined range R from the gambling facility A, and stores range information indicating a position within the predetermined range L from the gambling facility C. The range information may not be circular.

  The storage unit 17 stores a control program that describes the processing procedure of the control unit 18. The storage unit 17 is a storage medium such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a hard disk.

  The storage unit 17 stores a delay time in association with the alarm range. For example, the storage unit 17 stores 120 seconds that is equal to or longer than the average signal waiting time (75 seconds) as the delay time in association with the range information indicating the predetermined range R from the gambling facility A. In this way, the alarm output device 1 can be configured not to output an alarm sound when waiting for a signal in the vicinity of the gambling facility.

  The control unit 18 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and is a control unit that operates each operation block by executing a program stored in the storage unit 17. The user can input an alarm range to the control unit 18 of the alarm output device 1 via, for example, a terminal connected to the communication unit 13. In addition, when the alarm output device 1 has an operation unit, the user can input the alarm range by operating the operation unit. The control unit 18 executes a program stored in the storage unit 17, thereby executing a sound detection unit 180, a position information acquisition unit 181, a remaining amount detection unit 182, a power supply control unit 183, a setting unit 184, and an output control unit 185. Function as.

  The sound detection unit 180 detects sounds around the alarm output device 1 based on the sound signal input from the microphone 11. The sound detection unit 180 notifies the output control unit 185 of the detected ambient sound.

  The position information acquisition unit 181 acquires position information indicating the position of the alarm output device 1 from the position sensor 12. The position information acquisition unit 181 may acquire position information indicating the position from the communication unit 13. The position information acquisition unit 181 notifies the output control unit 185 of the acquired position information.

  The remaining amount detection unit 182 detects the remaining amount of the battery. For example, the remaining amount detection unit 182 measures the voltage of the battery and detects the remaining amount of the battery based on the measured voltage. Specifically, the remaining amount detection unit 182 notifies the information indicating the ratio of the measured voltage with respect to the maximum voltage, assuming that the maximum voltage of the battery is 100%. The remaining amount detection unit 182 notifies the output control unit 185 of the detected remaining amount of the battery.

  The power supply control unit 183 stops supplying power to at least some circuits other than the position sensor 12, the position information acquisition unit 181, and the output control unit 185 by detecting that the power button is pressed. For example, when the power supply control unit 183 detects that the power button is pressed while power is supplied to the communication unit 13 and the microphone 11, the power supply control unit 183 stops supplying power to the communication unit 13 and the microphone 11. To do. By doing in this way, even if the user presses the power button, the alarm output device 1 can output an alarm sound with reduced power consumption.

  The setting unit 184 sets an alarm range that is a range of positions for outputting an alarm sound. For example, when the user inputs an alarm range, the setting unit 184 stores range information indicating the alarm range input by the user in the storage unit 17. For example, the user may input coordinates indicating the position, select a preset facility name, or specify a specific position on the map displayed on the display unit of the terminal. You may choose. Further, the user may input the distance from the center of the range to the outer periphery of the range as the alarm range. For example, when the user selects gambling facility A and inputs 50 m as a distance, the setting unit 184 associates the gambling facility A with the distance 50 m, and stores a range of 50 m radius centered on the gambling facility A as range information. Store in the unit 17.

  When the user instructs deletion of the range information, the setting unit 184 determines whether a predetermined standby time has elapsed after the user inputs the range information. If the setting unit 184 determines that the predetermined standby time has not elapsed since the user input the range information, the setting unit 184 receives a deletion instruction. The setting unit 184 does not accept a deletion instruction when it is determined that a predetermined waiting time has elapsed since the user input range information. The waiting time is, for example, 10 minutes. In this way, even if the user makes a mistake in the input contents of the range information, the user can correct the range information and the user deletes the range information after the range information is set. Since this is not possible, gambling acts can be effectively suppressed.

  Moreover, the setting part 184 determines whether the information which shows distance as the range information is memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 17, when a user inputs distance as a warning range. When the information indicating the distance is not stored, the setting unit 184 stores the distance input by the user in the storage unit 17 as range information.

  When information indicating the distance is stored, the setting unit 184 determines whether the already stored distance is greater than the newly input distance. When the newly input distance is larger than the already stored distance, the setting unit 184 stores the input distance in the storage unit 17 as range information. The setting unit 184 does not store the input distance in the storage unit 17 when the newly input distance is equal to or less than the already stored distance. By doing in this way, the user can register a new gambling facility in the range information or increase the alarm range, but cannot delete the gambling facility or reduce the alarm range. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the user to approach the gambling facility, and the gambling action can be effectively suppressed.

  The setting unit 184 sets the delay time when the user inputs the delay time via another terminal. The setting unit 184 determines whether or not the input delay time is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value. The upper limit value of the delay time is, for example, 5 minutes. The setting unit 184 stores the delay time in the storage unit 17 when the input delay time is equal to or less than the upper limit value. When the input delay time is longer than the upper limit value, the setting unit 184 discards the input delay time. When the input delay time is discarded, the setting unit 184 may notify other terminals to which the user has input the delay time that the delay time has been discarded.

  When the user inputs information indicating the height in association with the coordinates indicating the position, the setting unit 184 sets an alarm range at the height input by the user. For example, when the user inputs the third floor as the information indicating the height in association with the coordinates indicating the position of the gambling facility, the setting unit 184 sets the third floor of the gambling facility as the alarm range.

  The output control unit 185 causes the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound based on a predetermined condition. Hereinafter, conditions for the output control unit 185 to output an alarm sound will be described.

(Condition 1 for outputting alarm sound)
The output control unit 185 causes the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound based on the acquired position information. Specifically, the output control unit 185 starts outputting an alarm sound when a predetermined delay time has elapsed since the position indicated by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 181 is included in the alarm range. Let FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an operation for outputting an alarm sound based on the position information. First, the output control unit 185 notifies the position information acquisition unit 181 of an instruction to acquire position information indicating the position of the alarm output device 1.

  The position information acquisition unit 181 acquires the position information, and notifies the output control unit 185 of the acquired position information (step S1). The output control unit 185 determines whether or not the position is included in the alarm range (step S2). If the position is not included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 returns to step S1 and notifies the position information acquisition unit 181 of an instruction to acquire position information. When the position is included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 proceeds to step S3.

  The output control unit 185 starts measuring time (step S3). The output control unit 185 determines whether or not a predetermined delay time has elapsed since the position was included in the alarm range (step S4). If the output control unit 185 determines that the predetermined delay time has not elapsed, the output control unit 185 returns to step S3 and continues measuring time. When it is determined that the predetermined delay time has elapsed, the output control unit 185 notifies the position information acquisition unit 181 of an instruction to acquire position information. When the position information acquisition unit 181 receives an instruction to acquire position information from the output control unit 185, the position information acquisition unit 181 acquires the position information (step S5).

  The output control unit 185 determines whether or not the position is included in the alarm range (step S6). If the position is not included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 returns to step S1. When the position is included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 causes the alarm device 10 to start outputting an alarm sound (step S7).

  The output control unit 185 notifies the position information acquisition unit 181 of an instruction to acquire position information, and the position information acquisition unit 181 notifies the output control unit 185 of the acquired position information (step S8). The output control unit 185 determines whether or not the position indicated by the position information is included in the alarm range (step S9).

  When the position indicated by the position information is included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 returns to S7 and causes the alarm device 10 to continue outputting the alarm sound. When the output control unit 185 determines that the position indicated by the position information is not included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 stops the output of the alarm sound (step S10). By doing in this way, since alarm output device 1 outputs a warning sound, for example when a user tries to enter a gambling facility, it becomes difficult for a user to enter a gambling facility, and it suppresses performing a gambling act. be able to. Moreover, since the alarm output device 1 outputs an alarm sound even when the user enters a gambling facility and performs a gambling action, even if the gambling action is started before the delay time elapses, A user's gambling action can be suppressed.

(Condition 2 for outputting alarm sound)
The output control unit 185 causes the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound based on the remaining battery level. The output control unit 185 causes the alarm device 10 to start outputting an alarm sound when the remaining amount of the battery detected by the remaining amount detection unit 182 becomes equal to or less than a predetermined threshold. Then, the output control unit 185 stops the output of the alarm sound when the charging unit 15 starts charging the battery 14 in a state where the position indicated by the position information is not included in the alarm range, and the position indicated by the position information is an alarm. When the charging unit 15 starts charging the battery 14 in a state included in the range, the alarm sound is continuously output. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an operation for outputting an alarm sound based on the remaining battery level.

  First, the output control unit 185 acquires the remaining battery level detected by the remaining level detection unit 182 (step S10). The output control unit 185 determines whether or not the remaining battery level is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold (step S11). The predetermined threshold is 20%, for example. If the output control unit 185 determines that the remaining battery level is greater than the predetermined threshold value, the output control unit 185 returns to step S10 and notifies the remaining battery level detection unit 182 of an instruction to detect the remaining battery level.

  If the output control unit 185 determines that the remaining battery level detected by the remaining amount detection unit 182 is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, the output control unit 185 causes the alarm device 10 to start outputting an alarm sound (step S12). Subsequently, the output control unit 185 determines whether or not the charging unit 15 has started charging the battery (step S13). When the charging unit 15 has not started charging the battery, the output control unit 185 returns to step S12 and continues outputting the alarm sound. When it is determined that the charging unit 15 has started charging the battery, the output control unit 185 notifies the position information acquisition unit 181 of an instruction to acquire position information. The position information acquisition unit 181 acquires position information (step S14).

  The output control unit 185 determines whether or not the position indicated by the position information is included in the alarm range (step S15). When the output control unit 185 determines that the position indicated by the position information is included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 returns to step S12 and continues outputting the alarm sound. If the output control unit 185 determines that the position indicated by the position information is not included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 stops the output of the alarm sound (step S16).

  As described above, the alarm output device 1 outputs an alarm sound and prompts the user to charge when the remaining amount of the battery is reduced, so that it is possible to prevent the remaining amount of the battery from running out and becoming inoperable. Furthermore, since the alarm output device 1 outputs an alarm sound even if charging is performed within a predetermined range from the gambling facility, the user is forced to charge at a place away from the gambling facility, and suppresses the gambling act. be able to.

(Condition 3 for outputting alarm sound)
The output control unit 185 may output an alarm sound based on the detected sound. Specifically, the output control unit 185 starts to output an alarm sound when the sound detected by the sound detection unit 180 satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, the output control unit 185 extracts a characteristic pattern from surrounding sounds, and outputs an alarm sound when the detected pattern matches a pattern specific to the gambling facility stored in the storage unit 17 in advance. Let it begin. A pattern peculiar to a gambling facility is, for example, a frequency distribution pattern of sound generated in a pachinko parlor. A known technique can be used to extract a characteristic pattern performed by the output control unit 185.

  When the output control unit 185 determines that the position indicated by the position information is included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 may transmit information indicating that the position is included in the alarm range to a predetermined output destination. Good. For example, the output control unit 185 transmits warning information indicating that the warning output device 1 is included in the warning range to a predetermined mail address. Specifically, the output control unit 185 transmits a text message “Mr. OO may be gambling” on an e-mail address used by the user's family or an SNS used by the user.

(Modification 1)
In the above description, the output control unit 185 starts outputting an alarm sound when the condition is satisfied, but may control the magnitude of the alarm sound. For example, when the condition is satisfied, the output control unit 185 starts the output of the alarm sound in a state where the sound of the alarm sound is low, and increases the size of the alarm sound every time a certain time elapses. Specifically, the output control unit 185 starts to output an alarm sound when the condition is 10 dB when the condition is satisfied, and sets the alarm sound level to 10 dB every 10 seconds. Increase it step by step.

  In this way, the alarm output device 1 outputs an alarm sound with a small sound when the user is likely to enter a gambling facility or has performed a gambling action, so the user is annoying to the surroundings. You can notice the alarm sound without putting on. Further, when the user ignores the warning sound and enters the gambling facility or continues the gambling action, the warning output device 1 gradually outputs a warning sound with a loud sound. Since it causes trouble, gambling can be suppressed.

(Modification 2)
The alarm output device 1 may be a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is, for example, a smartphone or a tablet PC configured so that it is difficult to remove the battery pack. The control unit 18 of the alarm output device 1 that is a portable terminal maintains at least the operations of the position sensor 12, the position information acquisition unit 181, and the output control unit 185 when receiving an instruction to stop the operation of the own device. The output control unit 185 acquires the position information of the own device and determines whether or not the position of the own device is included in the alarm range. When it is determined that the position is included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 operates the alarm device 10 and causes the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound. By doing in this way, since alarm output device 1 can output an alarm sound even if a user tries to perform a gambling action in a state where operation of alarm output device 1 is stopped, a user can perform a gambling action. It can be suppressed.

  In addition, CPU which is the control part 18 of the alarm output device 1 which is a portable terminal functions as each operation block by executing a program. For example, the control unit 18 of the alarm output device 1 that is a mobile terminal executes a program to obtain a position information acquisition unit 181 that acquires position information and a position indicated by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 181. It functions as an output control unit 185 that starts output of an alarm sound when a predetermined delay time has elapsed since becoming a state included in the alarm range stored in the storage unit 17.

(Modification 3)
The alarm output device 1 may be linked to a mobile terminal. For example, the output control unit 185 of the alarm output device 1 causes the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound when detecting that the distance from the interlocking portable terminal is greater than a predetermined distance. The output control unit 185 may cause the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound when a predetermined delay time has elapsed after detecting that the mobile terminal that operates in conjunction with the mobile terminal is more than a predetermined distance away. The output control unit 185 causes the alarm device 10 to stop outputting the alarm sound when detecting that the mobile phone is within a predetermined distance from the mobile terminal. The output control unit 185 may cause the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound when receiving a notification that the function of acquiring position information is invalid from the mobile terminal.

  The output control unit 185 of the alarm output device 1 may transmit / receive information to / from the mobile terminal at regular intervals, and may output an alarm sound when information cannot be transmitted / received. For example, the output control unit 185 causes the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound when information transmitted from the mobile terminal cannot be received. Specifically, the output control unit 185 alerts the alarm device 10 when the user stops the operation by pressing the power button of the mobile terminal, removes the battery of the mobile terminal, or destroys the mobile terminal. Output sound.

  When the CPU of the mobile terminal linked to the alarm output device 1 detects that the alarm output device 1 is away from the predetermined distance, similarly to the output control unit 185 of the alarm output device 1, the CPU outputs an alarm sound to the speaker. Also good. Further, the CPU of the mobile terminal may transmit / receive information to / from the alarm output device 1 at regular intervals, and may output an alarm sound when information cannot be transmitted / received. For example, when the user destroys the alarm output device 1 and cannot receive information from the alarm output device 1, the CPU of the mobile terminal outputs an alarm sound.

  The alarm output device 1 has at least an alarm device 10, a communication unit 13, a battery 14, and a charging unit 15 when interlocked with a mobile terminal, and a program installed in the mobile terminal displays the CPU of the mobile terminal as location information. You may make it function as an acquisition part and an output control part. For example, the mobile terminal detects a microphone for acquiring ambient sounds, a CPU that is a control unit, a storage unit that stores an operation program executed by the CPU and an alarm range, and position information indicating the position of the own device. A GPS receiver for communication, a communication unit for communicating with the alarm output device 1, and a battery. The CPU of the mobile terminal executes a program to detect the remaining amount of the battery, a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information, and a power supply control unit that controls the supply of power to each unit of the own device , And a sound detection unit that detects surrounding sounds. The CPU of the mobile terminal functions as a determination unit that determines whether or not to output an alarm sound.

  CPU of a portable terminal acquires the positional information which shows the position of an own machine, and transmits positional information to the alarm output device 1 via a communication part. In addition, when the position indicated by the position information is included in the alarm range, the CPU of the mobile terminal transmits instruction information including an instruction to output an alarm sound to the alarm output device 1.

  As described above, since the probability that the user brings the alarm output device 1 increases by linking the portable terminal and the alarm output device 1 that are likely to be carried when the user goes out, gambling can be suppressed. Increases nature. Moreover, since the alarm output device 1 can be made small by using a part of the functions of the portable terminal such as a GPS receiver, the user can easily use the alarm output device 1.

(Modification 4)
In the above description, the alarm device 10 of the alarm output device 1 to which the key holder is attached outputs an alarm sound. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a key holder (hereinafter referred to as a key holder machine) linked to the alarm output device 1 is an alarm. Sound may be output. The keychain machine can be used by being attached to an object that a user usually wears, for example, a house key, a car key, or a wallet. The key holder machine includes a communication unit for communicating with the alarm output device 1, an alarm device for outputting an alarm sound, an output control unit for outputting an alarm sound to the alarm device, and a battery for operating the key holder machine. And have. The battery may be configured not to be removable from the key holder machine. Moreover, the key chain machine may have a charging part and a power button.

  When the output control unit of the key holder machine detects that the alarm output device 1 is away from the predetermined distance, it causes the alarm device to output an alarm sound. When the output control unit detects that it is within a predetermined distance from the alarm output device 1, the output control unit causes the alarm device to stop outputting the alarm sound. By doing in this way, it can prevent that a user goes out without having the key ring machine interlock | cooperated with the alarm output device 1 and the alarm output device 1. FIG.

  In addition, the key holder machine does not need to have an alarm device and an output control unit. The key holder machine communicates with the alarm output device 1 via the communication unit. The output control unit 185 of the alarm output device 1 causes the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound when detecting that the key holder machine is away from a predetermined distance from the own machine because it cannot communicate with the key holder machine. By doing in this way, since the key ring machine interlock | cooperated with the alarm output device 1 can be reduced in size, the usability as a key ring improves. For example, when attached to a car key, it does not get in the way when driving.

  In addition, since the key holder machine is downsized and separated and independent from the alarm output device 1, the user can attach one by one to a plurality of articles carried when going out. For example, the user can wear a plurality of key holder machines, one for each of a key, a wallet, and a bag. In this case, the output control unit 185 of the alarm output device 1 causes the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound when communication with any one of the plurality of key holder machines is disabled. By doing in this way, it can prevent going out without having the alarm output device 1 while improving the usability of the key holder machine.

  Specifically, the user can attach the key holder machine to the key and the wallet. In this way, even if the user places the alarm output device 1 and the wallet at home and tries to go to a gambling facility with only cash, the key holder machine is attached to the car or the house key. Therefore, going to a gambling facility can be suppressed. Thus, since the alarm output device 1 interlocked with the key holder machine attached to a plurality of belongings outputs an alarm sound, it is possible to more reliably suppress the user from going to a gambling facility.

  Note that the key holder attached to the alarm output device 1 and the key holder machine has a key part for locking, and the key part is configured so that it cannot be unlocked with bare hands once locked. It is desirable that the key part of the key ring is configured so that it cannot be unlocked unless it is a predetermined tool. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured so that it cannot be unlocked once locked. Further, the alarm output device 1 and the key holder machine may output an alarm sound when the key part is unlocked regardless of a predetermined tool. For example, the alarm output device 1 and the key holder machine output an alarm sound when the key part is destroyed.

  Each of the alarm output device 1 and the key holder machine may transmit / receive information at regular intervals, and may output an alarm sound when information cannot be transmitted / received. When information cannot be transmitted / received, either one of the operations is stopped. The state where the operation is stopped is, for example, when the user pulls out the battery, presses the power button of the alarm output device 1 or the key holder machine to stop the operation, or the user destroys one of the devices. is there. Specifically, the alarm output device 1 outputs an alarm sound when the interlocking key holder machine is destroyed. Conversely, the key holder machine outputs an alarm sound when the interlocking alarm output device 1 is destroyed.

[Effect of the first embodiment]
As described above, the alarm output device 1 causes the alarm device 10 to start outputting an alarm sound when a predetermined delay time has elapsed since the position indicated by the position information is included in the alarm range. In this way, the alarm output device 1 outputs an alarm sound when the user is likely to enter a gambling facility, or when entering the gambling facility and performing a gambling act. Gambling can be suppressed.

<Second Embodiment>
The alarm output device 3 according to the second embodiment is a car navigation system connected to a vehicle. The alarm output device 3 is connected to a vehicle horn 4 and a vehicle engine 5. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the alarm output device 3 according to the second embodiment. The alarm output device 3 includes a position sensor 31, a display unit 32, a communication unit 33, a storage unit 37, and a control unit 38. The control unit 38 includes a setting unit 380, a position information acquisition unit 381, a display control unit 382, an engine monitoring unit 383, and an output control unit 384.

  The position sensor 31 is a GPS receiver, for example, detects position information indicating the position of the alarm output device 3 and notifies the position information acquisition unit 381 of the position information. The display unit 32 is, for example, a liquid crystal display that displays information based on an instruction from the display control unit 382. The display unit 32 may have a touch panel on the surface. The user can perform various operations or input an alarm range by touching the display unit 32. The display unit 32 receives an alarm range input from the user and notifies the control unit 38 of the input. The communication unit 33 is a communication interface similar to the communication unit 13 of the first embodiment. The communication unit 33 notifies the setting unit 380 of information or instructions received from other terminals.

  The storage unit 37 stores a control program that describes the processing procedure of the control unit 38. The storage unit 37 is a storage medium such as a ROM, a RAM, and a hard disk. The memory | storage part 37 memorize | stores the range information which shows the warning range which is the range of the position which outputs a warning sound.

  The control unit 38 is, for example, a CPU, and is a control unit that operates each operation block by executing a program stored in the storage unit 37. When the control unit 38 receives the alarm range input by the user from the display unit 32, the control unit 38 stores range information indicating the alarm range in the storage unit 37. The control unit 38 functions as a setting unit 380, a position information acquisition unit 381, a display control unit 382, an engine monitoring unit 383, and an output control unit 384 by executing the program stored in the storage unit 37.

  As in the first embodiment, the setting unit 380 sets an alarm range that is a range of positions where an alarm sound is output. When receiving the notification of the alarm range from the communication unit 33 or the display control unit 382, the setting unit 380 stores the notified alarm range in the storage unit 37.

  The position information acquisition unit 381 acquires position information indicating the position of the alarm output device 3 from the position sensor 31. The position information acquisition unit 381 may acquire position information indicating the position from the communication unit 33. The position information acquisition unit 381 notifies the output control unit 384 of the acquired position information. The display control unit 382 is a display control unit that controls the display unit 32 to display various information on the display unit 32. Based on an instruction from the output control unit 384, the display control unit 382 displays warning information indicating that the position of the alarm output device 3 is included in the alarm range indicating the range of the position where the alarm sound is output. To display. The warning information is, for example, a text indicating that the position is included in the alarm range, and an image in which the position of the own device and the alarm range are superimposed on a map including the position of the own device.

  The engine monitoring unit 383 monitors the operating state of the engine 5. For example, when the operating state of the engine 5 changes, the engine monitoring unit 383 notifies the output control unit 384 that the operating state has changed. Specifically, the engine monitoring unit 383 notifies the output control unit 384 that the engine 5 has been started when the engine 5 is started, and outputs that the engine 5 has stopped when the engine 5 has stopped. Notify the control unit 384.

  The output control unit 384 is output control means for causing the horn 4 to output an alarm sound. The output control unit 384 is set to the horn 4 when a predetermined delay time has elapsed after the engine 5 of the vehicle to which the alarm output device 3 is connected is stopped in a state where the position indicated by the position information is included in the alarm range. Start alarm sound output. And the output control part 384 stops the output of an alarm sound, when the engine 5 of a vehicle starts. Hereinafter, operation | movement of the alarm output device 3 is demonstrated in detail using the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the operation of the alarm output device 3 in the second embodiment. Since step S20 is the same operation as step S1, and step S21 is the same operation as step S2, description is abbreviate | omitted. The engine monitoring unit 383 monitors the operation state of the engine 5 and notifies the output control unit 384 of the operation state of the engine 5. The output control unit 384 determines whether or not the engine 5 has stopped (step S22).

  If the output control unit 384 determines that the engine 5 is operating, the process returns to step S20. If the output control unit 384 determines that the engine 5 is stopped, the process proceeds to step S23. Since step S23 and step S24 are the same as step S3 and step S4, they are omitted.

  When it is determined that the predetermined delay time has elapsed, the output control unit 384 causes the horn 4 to start outputting an alarm sound (step S25). The output control unit 384 determines whether or not the engine 5 has been started based on the notification from the engine monitoring unit 383 (step S26). If the output control unit 384 determines that the engine 5 is stopped, the output control unit 384 returns to step S25 and continues outputting the alarm sound. If the output control unit 384 determines that the engine 5 has been started, the output control unit 384 stops outputting the alarm sound (step S27).

  The output control unit 384 determines whether the position of the alarm output device 3 is included in the alarm range when receiving an instruction from the user to stop the operation of the alarm output device 3 by pressing the power button. To do. The output control unit 384 does not stop the operation of the alarm output device 3 when the position is included in the alarm range. In this way, even if the user tries to stop the alarm sound and stop the operation of the alarm output device 3, the alarm output device 3 outputs the alarm sound without stopping the operation. Can be suppressed.

  Note that the output control unit 384 receives at least the position sensor 31, the position information acquisition unit 381, and the output control unit 384 when receiving an instruction from the user to stop the operation of the alarm output device 3 by pressing the power button. The operation may be maintained. By doing in this way, even if the user tries to stop the operation of the alarm output device 3 at a position not included in the alarm range, the alarm output device 3 can maintain the function of outputting an alarm sound.

  Further, the alarm output device 3 may not have a power button. By doing in this way, since the user cannot stop operation | movement of the alarm output device 3, it can suppress a gambling act reliably.

(Modification)
Although the alarm output device 3 in the present embodiment is assumed not to be removable from the vehicle, the alarm output device 3 is not limited thereto, and may be configured to be removable from the vehicle, and may include a battery and a charging unit. The alarm output device 3 configured to be removable from the vehicle may have the same configuration as the alarm output device 1 in the first embodiment.

  The alarm output device 3 configured to be removable from the vehicle may be configured to include an alarm device. The alarm output device 3 configured to be removable from the vehicle causes the horn 4 to output an alarm sound when attached to the vehicle, and causes the alarm device to output an alarm sound when removed from the vehicle. Note that the alarm output device 3 may maintain the connection with the vehicle even when the alarm output device 3 is detached from the vehicle and cause the horn 4 to output an alarm sound.

  The alarm output device 3 that can be detached from the vehicle and has an alarm device may be configured such that the alarm device, the position sensor 31, the battery, the charging unit, and the control unit 38 can be separated from other parts. By doing in this way, since the part which needs to carry the alarm output device 3 can be made small, a user's convenience can be improved. Furthermore, the alarm output device 3 may have a configuration having a smart key of a connected vehicle. By doing in this way, since the user of the alarm output device 3 needs to carry the alarm output device 3, it is possible to prevent misplacement or going out without possessing it, thereby effectively suppressing gambling acts. be able to.

[Effects of Second Embodiment]
As described above, the alarm output device 3 connected to the vehicle starts outputting an alarm sound after a predetermined delay time has elapsed in a state where the position of the connected vehicle is included in the alarm range. By doing in this way, when the user who drives the vehicle to which the alarm output device 3 is connected parks the vehicle in the parking lot of the gambling facility and stops the engine in order to enter the gambling facility, for example, The horn begins to ring, making it difficult to enter the gambling facility, and as a result, gambling acts can be suppressed.

<Third Embodiment>
The alarm output device 1 according to the first embodiment outputs an alarm sound as alarm information when the user stays in the vicinity of a preset gambling facility for a predetermined time or more. On the other hand, the alarm output device 2 according to the third embodiment is an alarm for restricting the operation of other devices when the user stays near a preset gambling facility for a predetermined time or more. It differs from the alarm output device 1 according to the first embodiment in that information is output. The alarm output device 2 according to the third embodiment may not include the alarm device 10. The other device is an electronic device having a communication function such as a smartphone used by the user, a PC, or a smart speaker or an electronic lock at the user's home. In the following description, another device is assumed to be a smartphone.

  The alarm output device 2 possessed by the user U starts measuring time when it is determined that the position of the own device is included within a predetermined range from the gambling facility. When the alarm output device 2 determines that the position of the own device is included in the predetermined range after the predetermined delay time has elapsed, at least a part of the smartphone used by the preset user is used. Outputs alarm information to limit functions.

  A smartphone used by a user is installed with a restriction application (hereinafter referred to as a restriction application) for restricting some functions of the smartphone. The restriction application restricts at least some functions of the smartphone when receiving the alarm information. For example, the restriction application prevents a call or Internet connection. The restricted app may not be able to execute other applications such as SNS or music player. Further, the restriction app may be configured not to be able to perform operations on the touch panel.

  By doing in this way, in order to avoid that the user who uses a smart phone restrict | limits the function of a smart phone, it becomes impossible to approach a gambling facility. Therefore, the alarm output device 2 can suppress the user from going to a gambling facility.

[Configuration of Alarm Output Device 2 According to Third Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the alarm output device 2 according to the third embodiment. The storage unit 17 of the alarm output device 2 according to the present embodiment stores device identification information for identifying another device that outputs alarm information. When the other device is a smartphone, the storage unit 17 stores a MAC address or a telephone number for identifying the smartphone as device identification information. However, the apparatus identification information is not limited to this as long as it can identify other apparatuses.

  The output control unit 185 is alarm information for restricting the operation of the smartphone when a predetermined delay time has elapsed since the position indicated by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 181 is included in the alarm range. Is output to the smartphone. For example, the output control unit 185 outputs alarm information that disables use of at least some functions of the smartphone. Specifically, the output control unit 185 transmits alarm information including an instruction to prevent a call or Internet connection from being made to the smartphone in which the restricted application is installed. Further, the output control unit 185 may output alarm information that allows only a specific function set for the smartphone to be used. The specific function is, for example, a response to an incoming call, an outgoing call telephone number, or a call to a telephone number corresponding to a mobile terminal used by the user's family.

  The output control unit 185 may output alarm information including restriction period information indicating a period for restricting the function of the smartphone. The period during which the function is restricted is, for example, a period longer than the period from when the user finishes using the smartphone until the next use. Specifically, the period for limiting the function is 24 hours. Moreover, the output control part 185 may memorize | store the frequency | count that alarm information was output in a memory | storage part, and may lengthen the period which restrict | limits a function, so that the frequency | count is large. By doing in this way, whenever a user goes to a gambling facility, the period when a smart phone cannot be used becomes long. Therefore, the output control unit 185 can enhance the effect of suppressing the user from going to a gambling facility.

  The output control unit 185 may output alarm information including device identification information for identifying the smartphone stored in the storage unit. By doing in this way, the output control part 185 can output warning information with respect to the predetermined smart phone.

  The output control unit 185 may output the alarm information again after outputting the alarm information. For example, after outputting the alarm information, the output control unit 185 outputs the alarm information again in response to receiving operation information indicating that the smartphone is operating from the restriction app installed on the smartphone. Moreover, the output control part 185 may output alarm information again, when the information which shows having received alarm information from the smart phone is not acquired.

  The output control unit 185 may notify the remaining battery level to the smartphone. The smartphone displays a message prompting charging when the notified remaining battery level is equal to or lower than a reference value that requires charging of the alarm output device 2. By doing in this way, even if the alarm output device 2 does not have a display, it can be recognized that the user needs to charge the alarm output device 2.

  The output control unit 185 outputs alarm information based on the remaining battery level detected by the remaining amount detection unit 182. For example, the output control unit 185 outputs a message that prompts charging when the remaining battery level is equal to or lower than a first threshold value. The first threshold is 30%, for example. The message for prompting charging is, for example, a text such as “The battery level of the alarm output device is 30% or less. Please charge the alarm output device”. The smartphone that has received the alarm information including the message prompting charging displays the message on the display unit of the smartphone. In this way, the alarm output device 2 can prompt the user to charge the alarm output device 2.

  In addition, the output control unit 185 outputs warning information that restricts at least a part of functions of the smartphone when the remaining battery level is equal to or lower than a second threshold value that is smaller than the first threshold value after outputting a message that prompts charging. Is output. The output control unit 185 may output a message prompting charging together with the alarm information. The second threshold is, for example, 10%. The message that prompts charging when the remaining battery level is equal to or lower than the second threshold value is different from the message that is output when the remaining battery level is equal to or lower than the first threshold value. "Because it became the following, the function of the smartphone will be restricted until the alarm output device is charged."

  The smartphone that has received the warning information that restricts at least a part of the function of the smartphone together with the message prompting the charging displays a message on the display unit of the smartphone, and restricts at least a part of the function of the smartphone. As described above, the alarm output device 2 restricts the function of the smartphone when the remaining amount of the battery is equal to or less than the second threshold value. Therefore, the alarm output device 2 does not operate, and the user is predetermined from the gambling facility. It is possible to prevent the user from being able to continue to use the smartphone despite being within the range.

  The output control unit 185 may output the release information for releasing the restriction on the function after outputting the alarm information for restricting at least a part of the functions of the smartphone. For example, when the position indicated by the position information is not included in the alarm range, the output control unit 185 outputs the release information to the smartphone. By doing in this way, the output control part 185 can prompt the user who entered the gambling facility and can no longer use the smartphone to leave the gambling facility in order to use the smartphone.

  The output control part 185 will cancel | release the restriction | limiting of the function of a smart phone, if the user who is not going to the gambling facility starts charge of the alarm output device 2. FIG. Specifically, the output control unit 185 outputs the alarm information when the remaining amount is equal to or less than the threshold value, and then the charging unit 15 starts charging the battery 14 in a state where the position indicated by the position information is not included in the alarm range. If this happens, release information for releasing the restriction on smartphone operation is output. By doing in this way, the output control part 185 can cancel | release the restriction | limiting of the function of the user's smart phone which has suppressed going to a gambling facility.

[Restriction application to restrict smartphone functions]
Hereinafter, a restriction application (restriction application) for restricting the function of the smartphone will be described. The restriction app is a program for causing a processor included in the smartphone to function as a reception unit that receives alarm information and a function control unit that restricts at least some of the functions of the smartphone.

  The receiving unit receives alarm information for limiting at least a part of functions of the smartphone from the alarm output device 2 according to the third embodiment. For example, the receiving unit receives alarm information including device identification information corresponding to the identification information of the own device.

  The function control unit restricts at least a part of functions when the receiving unit receives the alarm information. In addition, when the reception unit receives alarm information including the limited period information, the function control unit limits at least a part of functions during the period indicated by the limited period information. By doing in this way, since a function control part restricts at least some functions of a smart phone, it can control that a user goes to a gambling facility.

  If the restricted state of the smartphone function is canceled by the user restarting the smartphone, the deterrence effect on the user is reduced. Therefore, the restriction application restricts at least some functions of the smartphone even when the power is turned on after the smartphone is turned off. For example, the restriction application specifies a release time for releasing the restriction of the function based on the time when the alarm information is received and the restriction period, and restricts the function until the release time elapses.

  By doing in this way, since a restriction application can restrict a function of a smart phone even if a user restarts a smart phone, it can control that a user goes to a gambling facility. Further, when the alarm output device 2 outputs the alarm information, the restriction application restricts the function of the smartphone from the time when the user turns on the power and receives the alarm information even when the smartphone is off. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from intentionally turning off the smartphone and going to the gambling facility.

  In addition, if a user uninstalls a restriction application, the deterrent effect to a user will be lost. Therefore, it is desirable to prevent the user from easily uninstalling the restricted application.

  Therefore, the restricted application collects an uninstall fee when an uninstall instruction is input from the user. As a method of collecting a fee, a system used for collecting a fee to the user when installing a paid application can be appropriately used. The uninstall fee is preferably a fee corresponding to the amount of money used by the user at the gambling facility, for example. Thus, by incurring a cost when uninstalling, the user hesitates to uninstall the restricted app. Therefore, the restriction application can suppress the restriction application from being uninstalled by the user. Further, when the user uninstalls the restricted application, the user pays a fee corresponding to the amount used at the gambling facility. Therefore, since the user's funds are reduced, the restriction app can make it difficult for the user to use the gambling facility.

  Further, when the restricted application is installed on the smartphone, a password required for uninstallation may be automatically set. The restriction application receives an input of a character string from the user when an uninstall instruction is input from the user. The restricted application will not be uninstalled if the entered string does not match the set password. The restricted application transmits the automatically set password to a device different from the installed smartphone (for example, a mobile terminal used by the user's family). By doing in this way, it can control that a user uninstalls a restriction application.

  The restriction application can appropriately set the alarm range of the alarm output device 2 that outputs alarm information, the delay time, and the time for limiting at least a part of the functions of the smartphone. As the setting method of the alarm range and the delay time, the same setting method as that of the alarm output device 1 according to the first embodiment can be used as appropriate.

[Process to set alarm range]
Hereinafter, processing for setting an alarm range executed by the restricted application will be described. The restriction application displays an input screen for accepting input of various setting values from the user on the display unit of the user's smartphone. Specifically, the limited application sets an alarm range based on an operation input by the user.

  First, the restriction application sets an alarm range that is a range of positions where alarm information is output. The restriction application sets an alarm range of the alarm output device 2 that outputs alarm information based on an operation input by the user. When the user inputs a plurality of alarm ranges, the restriction application sets an alarm range corresponding to each of the plurality of alarm ranges input by the user.

  Next, the restricted application sets a stay allowable time (delay time) indicating a time from entering the alarm range until outputting the alarm information. Specifically, when the limited application receives time input from the user, the limited application determines whether or not the input time is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit time. When the input time is equal to or shorter than the upper limit time, the restriction app sets the input time as the allowable stay time. When the input time is longer than the upper limit time, the restriction application displays error information indicating that the time input by the user cannot be set on the display unit of the smartphone. When the input time is longer than the upper limit time, the restriction application may display information indicating a predetermined allowable stay time on the display unit together with the error information. The predetermined allowable stay time is, for example, an average signal waiting time or longer, specifically 120 seconds.

  Subsequently, the restriction application sets a lock time indicating a time for restricting at least a part of the functions of the smartphone. Specifically, the limited application determines whether the time input by the user is equal to or greater than a predetermined lower limit time. If it determines with the input time being more than the minimum time, a restriction | limiting application will set the input time as a lock time which shows the time which restrict | limits at least one part function of a smart phone. When it is determined that the input time is shorter than the lower limit time, the restriction app displays error information indicating that the time input by the user cannot be set on the display unit of the smartphone. When the input time is shorter than the lower limit time, the restriction app may display information indicating a predetermined lock time on the display unit together with the error information. The predetermined lock time is, for example, 24 hours.

  The restriction application does not delete the alarm range even when receiving an instruction to delete the alarm range. However, if the limit application receives an instruction to delete the alarm range before the predetermined time has elapsed after setting the alarm range, the alarm range is set by allowing the alarm range to be deleted. You may enable it to correct when it is input incorrectly. Note that the restriction app may not receive an instruction to narrow the alarm range even when an instruction to narrow the alarm range is received instead of the instruction to delete the alarm range. Further, the restriction application may collect a fee when changing (resetting) various settings.

  When an instruction to set a new alarm range is input, the restriction application sets a new alarm range and causes the storage unit 17 to store a plurality of alarm ranges. Similarly, when the limit application receives an instruction to expand the set alarm range, the limit application sets a new alarm range that extends the set alarm range based on the input instruction.

(Modification 1)
In the above description, the alarm output device 2 outputs alarm information, and the restriction app installed in the smartphone restricts at least a part of the functions of the smartphone in response to receiving the alarm information. The program for operating not only this but the restriction | limiting application installed in the smart phone as the alarm output device 2 which concerns on 3rd Embodiment may be sufficient. By doing in this way, the user can suppress going to a gambling facility only by installing a restriction application in a smart phone. Therefore, the user can suppress going to a gambling facility more simply.

  In the above description, the alarm output device 2 outputs alarm information for limiting the function of the smartphone. However, the alarm output device 2 provides an alarm for preventing the user's home electronic lock from being opened. Information may be sent to the electronic lock. By doing in this way, alarm output device 2 can motivate a user not to go to a gambling facility in order to prevent being unable to enter the home.

(Modification 2)
In the above description, an example in which the alarm output device 2 operates alone has been described. However, the alarm output device 2 may operate in conjunction with a server that transfers alarm information to a smartphone. Specifically, the alarm output device 2 first outputs the alarm information to a server that transfers the alarm information. Next, when the server receives alarm information from the alarm output device 2, the server outputs the received alarm information to the smartphone. In addition, after outputting the alarm information, the server outputs the alarm information again when it cannot receive information indicating that the alarm information has been received from the restricted application installed in the smartphone. Specifically, after outputting the alarm information, the server outputs the alarm information again when receiving operation information indicating that the smartphone is operating from the restricted application.

The present invention relates to a program and a communication terminal .

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of these points, and a program for suppressing a person who goes to a place where he / she does not want to go like a person with gambling addiction from going to a place where he / she does not want to go, and An object is to provide a communication terminal .

The program according to the present invention stores a computer in a location information acquisition unit that acquires location information indicating the location of the computer, and a location indicated by the location information acquired by the location information acquisition unit in a storage unit included in the computer. Function control that restricts at least a part of functions when a predetermined delay time has elapsed since the alarm range, which is a range of a position that restricts at least a part of functions of the computer, is included Function as part.

  For example, when the function control unit acquires an instruction to uninstall the program, the function control unit uninstalls the program when an uninstallation fee is collected.

  For example, the function control unit collects the uninstallation fee corresponding to an amount used at a facility used by a user who uses the computer.

  For example, when the program is installed in the computer, the function control unit sets a password for uninstalling the program, and transmits the set password to another device.

  The program causes the computer to function as a receiving unit that receives the alarm information from an alarm output device that outputs alarm information for restricting at least a part of the functions of the computer, and the function control unit includes: When the receiving unit receives the alarm information, the at least part of the functions may be restricted.

  For example, the reception unit receives the warning information including restriction period information that is a period for restricting the function, and the function control unit receives the warning information and a period indicated by the restriction period information. Based on this, a release time at which the restriction on at least some of the functions is released is specified, and the functions are restricted until the release time elapses.

  For example, the function control unit restricts the at least some functions when it cannot receive operation information indicating that the alarm output device is operating from the alarm output device.

  For example, when the function control unit receives an input of an expansion instruction to expand the alarm range, the function control unit stores an alarm range in which the alarm range is expanded based on the expansion instruction in the storage unit, and the alarm range is Does not accept input of narrowing instructions.

  For example, when the function control unit receives an input of an additional instruction to add a new alarm range, the function control unit stores the new alarm range in the storage unit based on the addition instruction, and instructs to delete the alarm range. Does not accept input.

  For example, the function control unit executes a fee collection process when changing a setting related to restriction of at least some functions of the computer.

  The communication terminal of the present invention, a storage unit that stores an alarm range that is a range of a position that restricts at least some of the functions of the communication terminal, a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information indicating the position of the communication terminal, When a predetermined delay time has elapsed since the position indicated by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit is included in the alarm range stored in the storage unit, at least of the communication terminal A function control unit that restricts some functions.
