Reference numeral (11) denotes a RAM, which is information necessary for the operation of the control circuit (9), for example, a position name (see FIG. 7) corresponding to both a telephone number and position coordinates, and a zip code corresponding to the position coordinates. Remember your address.
[0014]
(12) is a display unit for displaying a telephone number, a position, etc., as shown in FIGS. (13) is an input unit. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, F1 key (131), F2 key (132), call key (133), call end key (134), position feed key (135), A numeric keypad (136) is provided. The F1 key (131) and the F2 key (132) operate the characters on the display unit (12) displayed corresponding to the position of each key. For example, in the state of FIG. 2, the F1 key (131) performs a position registration operation, and the F2 key (132) performs a position deletion operation.
[0015]
(14) is GPS positioning means, which receives radio waves from GPS satellites, measures the coordinates of the current position, and outputs measurement data to the control circuit (9).
[0016]
Next, a position coordinate transmission system will be described. When the location key (135) is operated after the telephone number of the receiving side mobile phone device is designated on the transmitting side mobile phone device, the control circuit (9) is detected by the GPS positioning means (14). The position coordinates thus transmitted are transmitted to a telephone station (not shown) via the baseband (3), the communication unit (1) and the antenna (2). The position coordinates are hexadecimal latitude and longitude data. This may include altitude data. The telephone station transmits the telephone number (caller number) and position coordinates of the transmitting-side mobile phone device to the receiving-side mobile phone device, and the receiving-side mobile phone device receives them.
[0017]
As shown in the time chart of FIG. 5, the position coordinates of the caller may be automatically transmitted before the call signal. When the call key (133) is operated after the telephone number of the called party's mobile phone device is designated by the caller's mobile phone device, the control circuit (9) calls the call and position coordinates. Send to the station. The telephone station transmits the calling party number, the position coordinates, and the calling signal to the called party's mobile phone device, which are received by the called party's mobile phone device. In this case, the called party can know the position coordinates of the calling party without going off-hook, that is, without answering the incoming call. In addition, the called party can know both position coordinates together with his own position coordinates.
[0018]
Although not shown, when the called party goes off-hook in response to the incoming call, the position coordinates of the called party may be transmitted to the calling party via the telephone office. Thereby, the caller can also know the position coordinates of both. When both the calling party and the called party know the positions of each other, the use range is expanded and the effect is increased.
[0019]
Next, registration of a position name corresponding to the received position coordinate will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control circuit (9). When receiving the telephone number and the position coordinates (S1), the control circuit (9) performs a position display process (S2). The position display process is shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8 and will be described in detail later. After performing the position display process, the reception is notified by ringing (S3). The notification of reception may be performed by a vibrator, LED, or voice. Then, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the control circuit (9) causes the display unit (12) to display the character “location registration” corresponding to the F1 key (131) (S4).
[0020]
Here, when the F1 key (131) is operated, the registration process of the position name is performed. In this registration process, as shown in FIG. 7, the name of the location is registered corresponding to both the caller number and the location coordinates. The control circuit (9) stores the registered contents in the RAM (11). For example, in FIG. 7, the telephone number 3 and the position coordinates data 3-2 are received, and the user knows that the call is from a villa by a telephone call. Therefore, when the F1 key (131) is operated while "Location registration" is displayed and "Villa" is input as the name, the villa is associated with both the telephone number 3 and the position coordinates data3-2. It is stored in the RAM (11). Since it corresponds to both the telephone number 3 and the position coordinate data 3-2, as shown in FIG. 7, for one telephone number 3, two of the home of the position coordinate data 3-1 and the villa of the position coordinate data 3-2 are You can register. That is, a plurality of names can be registered for one telephone number.
[0021]
Next, the position display process which is step S2 of FIG. 6 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing this. After receiving the telephone number and the position coordinates (S1), the control circuit (9) displays the position name corresponding to both the received telephone number and the position coordinates as shown in FIG. 2 (S21). Y, S22 Y, S23). Here, considering the measurement error of GPS, if the difference between the received position coordinates and the position coordinates stored in the RAM (11) is within a predetermined distance (for example, within 20 m), the control circuit (9) is regarded as coincident. (S22).
[0022]
If the position name cannot be displayed (N in S21 or N in S22), the postal code corresponding to the received position coordinate is retrieved from the RAM (11) and displayed as shown in FIG. 3 (Y in S24). , S25). Then, an address corresponding to the received position coordinates is retrieved from the RAM (11) and displayed (Y in S26, S27).
[0023]
If the postal code cannot be displayed (N in S24), the latitude and longitude of the received position coordinates are displayed as shown in FIG.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention registers the name of the position corresponding to both the received telephone number and the position coordinates, and in order to display it, the position can be notified with a small storage capacity compared with the map display. Moreover, in order for a user to register, the name which only a specific person understands can be displayed.
[0025]
In the present invention, since the received position coordinates are compared with the registered position coordinates while allowing a predetermined error, the received position coordinates may have an error within an allowable range.
[0026]
The present invention can effectively use a small display area in order to display position information with the registered position name, the address stored in the storage means, and the priority order of the received position coordinates.
[0027]
Since the present invention displays the postal code corresponding to the received position information, it is easier to grasp the position compared to the latitude and longitude.
