  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an incoming call notification operation control method for a mobile terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal device 1 performs wireless authentication with the wireless communication unit 3. If the distance from the wireless communication unit 3 is within the authentication distance, the authentication is established, and if the distance is greater than the authentication distance, the authentication is not established (non-authentication). As the communication means for the wireless authentication, a communication means using a weak radio wave or a short-range communication means (with a communication distance of, for example, several meters or less) can be used.

  Various wireless authentication methods are possible. For example, if the wireless communication unit transmits the ID of the wireless communication unit 3 and is received by the mobile terminal device 1, and the received ID matches the ID of the wireless communication unit 3 stored in the mobile terminal device 1, Authentication on the mobile terminal device 1 side can be established. Similarly, the mobile terminal device 1 transmits the ID of the mobile terminal device 1, which is received by the wireless communication unit 3, and the received ID matches the ID of the mobile terminal device 1 stored in the wireless communication unit 3. Thus, authentication on the wireless communication unit 3 side can be established. If a communication means using weak radio waves or a short-range communication means (with a communication distance of, for example, within several meters) is used as the communication means for this wireless authentication, both are separated by a predetermined distance or more. If the strength of the received signal is less than or equal to a predetermined value, the ID cannot be confirmed, and authentication is not established. On the contrary, if it is within the predetermined distance, the authentication is established.

  Another example of the wireless authentication method may be as follows, for example. First, the wireless communication unit 3 transmits the ID of the wireless communication unit 3, and the mobile terminal device 1 receives it. Next, if the received ID matches the ID of the wireless communication unit 3 stored in the mobile terminal device 1, the mobile terminal device 1 transmits a signal including a random number (challenge signal) and wirelessly transmits it. The communication unit 3 receives it. Next, the wireless communication unit 3 transmits a signal (response signal) including the received random number encrypted with the common key, and the mobile terminal device 1 receives the signal. Next, the mobile terminal device 1 decrypts the encrypted random number with the common key, and conversely decrypts it with the common key. If the decrypted result matches the random number transmitted by itself, the authentication on the mobile terminal device 1 side is confirmed. It can be established. Next, if the mobile terminal device 1 side is authenticated, the mobile terminal device 1 transmits the ID of the mobile terminal device 1, the wireless communication unit 3 receives the ID, and the received ID If the wireless communication unit 3 matches the ID of the portable terminal device 1 stored in the wireless communication unit 3, the authentication on the wireless communication unit 3 side can be established. It is assumed that the mobile terminal device 1 and the wireless communication unit 3 store the same common key. If a communication means using weak radio waves or a short-range communication means (with a communication distance of, for example, within several meters) is used as the communication means for this wireless authentication, both are separated by a predetermined distance or more. If the strength of the received signal is less than or equal to the predetermined value, the authentication is not established, and conversely, if it is within the predetermined distance, the authentication is established.

  As still another example of the wireless authentication method, for example, both the ID, the challenge signal, and the response signal as described above are used, and the strength of the signal received by the mobile terminal device 1 is equal to or higher than the predetermined strength (or higher than the predetermined strength). ) (That is, the distance is within a predetermined distance), the ID received by the mobile terminal device 1 matches the ID of the wireless communication unit 3 stored in the mobile terminal device 1, and the random number included in the response signal If the result of decryption matches the random number included in the challenge signal transmitted by itself, authentication on the mobile terminal device 1 side can be established. Similarly, the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 3 is greater than or equal to a predetermined strength (or greater than the predetermined strength) (that is, the distance is within a predetermined distance), and the ID received by the wireless communication unit 3 is stored in the wireless communication unit 3. If the ID of the mobile terminal device 1 being matched matches, the authentication on the wireless communication unit 3 side can be established. If a communication means using weak radio waves or a short-range communication means (with a communication distance of, for example, within several meters) is used as the communication means for this wireless authentication, both are separated by a predetermined distance or more. If the strength of the received signal is less than or equal to the predetermined value, the authentication is not established, and conversely, if it is within the predetermined distance, the authentication is established.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 1A, the mobile terminal device 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, notifies an incoming call such as a call or an e-mail by sound or vibration in a state where the authentication is established. As shown in B), the incoming call notification operation is restricted in a state where the authentication is not established. As a result, a different incoming call notification operation is performed in the state where the owner is near the mobile terminal device and in the absence of the owner who is away, so that the influence on the surroundings and leakage of personal information can be prevented without losing convenience. The prevented incoming call notification operation can be performed.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the main configuration of the mobile terminal device according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal device 1 will be described as an example having a mobile communication function that communicates with the base station 2 and can be connected to a mobile communication network. However, the mobile terminal device 1 is not necessarily limited to the mobile communication function. In addition, mobile terminal devices having various communication functions can be applied.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal device 1 includes a mobile radio unit 11, a data processing unit 12, a radio authentication unit 13, an incoming call operation control unit 14, a notification unit 15, and an operation unit 16. .

  The mobile radio unit 11 operates as an example of a radio communication unit, and performs radio communication with the base station 2. The data processing unit 12 performs functions of the mobile terminal device 1 such as an electronic payment function and a data reference function in addition to processing of data transmitted and received in the mobile radio unit 11. For example, when an incoming call is detected, information such as the caller's phone number and mail address, or information such as the caller's name with reference to the phone book information registered in advance for the caller, is used as the incoming call operation. Output to the control unit 14. The wireless authentication unit 13 operates as an example of a wireless authentication unit, detects a distance from the wireless communication unit 3, and performs authentication according to whether the distance from the wireless communication unit 3 is within the authentication distance. Do.

  The incoming call operation control unit 14 waits for a predetermined call period and operation input in response to a call from the caller, receives part or all of the mail, and receives notification that the mail has arrived at the server. Controls incoming call operation when an incoming call is received through a station. Furthermore, the incoming call operation control unit 14 operates as an example of an incoming call notification operation control unit. By restricting the operation of the notification unit 15 by an incoming call notification method according to the distance from the wireless communication unit 3, the incoming call operation control unit 14 Controls the notification operation. The notification unit 15 operates as an example of an incoming notification unit. When the mobile radio unit 11 detects an incoming call from the base station 2, the notification unit 15 performs incoming call notification based on an instruction from the incoming call operation control unit 14. The operation unit 16 receives an operation input from a user, for example, and outputs an operation signal to the data processing unit 12, the incoming call operation control unit 14, and the notification unit 15.

  The wireless authentication unit 13 includes a storage unit 131, a wireless unit 132, a determination unit 133, and a data communication unit 134. The storage unit 131 stores an authentication ID such as an identification code used when performing wireless authentication with the wireless communication unit 3. Note that this authentication ID is, for example, an ID that is associated in advance between the mobile terminal device 1 and the wireless communication unit 3, and is always authenticated by grasping that it is a pair with each other via wireless communication. It is something that can be done.

  The wireless unit 132 performs wireless communication with the wireless communication unit 3, transmits the authentication ID stored in the storage unit 131 to the wireless communication unit 3, and transmits a wireless signal from the wireless communication unit 3. Receive.

  The determination unit 133 demodulates the received signal from the wireless communication unit 3 received by the wireless unit 132 and analyzes the ID, and detects the distance to the wireless communication unit 3 from the signal level or error rate of the received signal. To do. If the ID received with reference to the storage unit 131 matches the authentication ID and the distance from the wireless communication unit 3 is within a predetermined distance (authentication distance), it is determined that the authentication has been established, and otherwise In the case of, it is determined that authentication is not established. Then, an authentication flag (for example, 0 when authentication is established and 1 when authentication is not established) is output to the incoming call operation control unit 14 as an authentication result.

  The data communication unit 134 performs data communication with the wireless communication unit 3 via the wireless unit 132. For example, ID exchange for wireless authentication in the wireless unit 132 is performed at a predetermined cycle, and the data communication unit 134 is in accordance with the laws mutually defined with the wireless communication unit 3 between the wireless authentications. By performing data communication, small-capacity data communication is performed.

  The incoming call operation control unit 14 includes a storage unit 141 and an incoming call operation instruction unit 142. The storage unit 141 operates as an example of a storage unit, and stores settings for an incoming call operation and an incoming call notification operation. For example, the wireless authentication unit 13 stores an incoming call notification operation when authentication is established and an incoming call notification operation when authentication is not established. When an incoming call is detected via the mobile radio unit 11, the incoming call operation instruction unit 142 refers to the storage unit 141, and performs a notification unit using an incoming call notification method based on an authentication determination by the determination unit 133 of the wireless authentication unit 13. 15 incoming call notification operations are controlled.

  The notification unit 15 can display desired information (such as caller information at the time of incoming call) and has a screen display 151 having a sub-screen or the like provided at a position visible from the outside, and a desired sound such as a ringtone. A speaker 152 that outputs at a sound volume, a vibration motor 153 that vibrates in a desired vibration pattern, and an LED display 154 that turns on and blinks a lamp such as an LED. Based on the instruction from the incoming call operation instruction unit 142, each of the screen display 151, the speaker 152, the vibration motor 153, and the LED display 154 performs an operation corresponding to the instruction.

  The wireless communication unit 3 includes a wireless authentication unit 33, a notification operation control unit 34, a notification unit 35, and an operation unit 36.

  The wireless authentication unit 33 has the same configuration as the wireless authentication unit 13 and performs wireless authentication with the mobile terminal device 1. The storage unit 331, the wireless unit 332, the determination unit 333, and the data communication unit 334 include the storage unit 131, the wireless unit 132, and the determination unit of the mobile terminal device 1 of the wireless authentication unit 13, respectively. 133, corresponding to the data communication unit 134.

  The notification operation control unit 34 controls the operation of the notification unit 35 based on an instruction from the data communication unit 334 of the wireless authentication unit 33. Similar to the notification unit 15, the notification unit 35 includes a screen display 351, a speaker 352, a vibration motor 353, and an LED display 354. The operation unit 36 receives an operation input from the user and outputs an operation signal to the data communication unit 33 and the notification operation control unit 34.

  Hereinafter, an example of an incoming call notification operation according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. This incoming call operation setting is stored as setting information in the storage unit 141 of the incoming call operation control unit 14.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a first example of an operation procedure of the mobile terminal device according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the incoming call operation instruction unit 142 monitors whether there is an incoming call (step S1). When an incoming call is detected (YES in step S1), the wireless authentication result by the determination unit 133 is referred to (step S2). If the authentication is established (YES in step S2), the notification unit 15 is instructed to notify the incoming call when the authentication is established (first incoming call notification operation) with reference to the setting information in the storage unit 141. The notification unit 15 performs an incoming call notification operation based on the instruction (step S3). If authentication is not established (NO in step S2), the notification unit 15 is instructed to notify the incoming call notification operation (second incoming call notification operation) when authentication is not established with reference to the setting information in the storage unit 141. 15 performs an incoming call notification operation based on the instruction (step S4). When there is an incoming call, when there is a call from the caller, an incoming call notification operation is performed and this call is transmitted to the owner. After receiving the incoming call notification operation, the owner presses the call button to start the call or opens the mail. In this manner, in the absence of the owner, for example, a call operation by the caller or an incoming call operation between the callers via the base station such as reception of an answering machine after a certain number of calls for the call operation is performed. However, by controlling the incoming call notification operation, it is possible to perform an incoming call notification operation that prevents influence on surroundings and leakage of personal information.

  In this way, for example, by setting the screen display 151, the speaker 152, the vibration motor 153, and the LED display 154 as the second incoming call notification operation, the owner is absent. It is possible to prevent the third party from knowing that there was a call in the state and the information of the caller. Further, by omitting the incoming call notification operation when the owner is absent, power consumption can be suppressed.

  In addition, if only the light emission of the LED display 154 is set as the second incoming call notification operation, the incoming call notification by the LED display 154 can be made and the generation of sound from the speaker 152 and the vibration motor 153 can be prevented. be able to. Furthermore, as a second incoming call notification operation, if a so-called manner mode is set, in which an incoming call is notified by light emission from the LED display 154 and vibration of the vibration motor 153, an incoming call notification in the manner mode is possible and a speaker is used. It is possible to prevent the surroundings from being affected by the generation of sound. During the second incoming call notification operation, that is, when the incoming call operation is being performed and authentication is not established, the start of the call by the call button or the like may be restricted.

  Further, as a second incoming call notification operation (incoming call notification operation when authentication is not established), an incoming call notification with a setting (default setting) incorporated in advance in the incoming call notification means can be performed. As a result, for example, when the owner is away from the mobile terminal device, an incoming call notification such as a ring tone of a setting (default setting) incorporated in advance (such as a type of ringtone or a ring volume) is performed, and an incoming personal setting is received. By not performing the incoming call notification with sound or the like, it is possible to prevent other people from knowing personal information such as the preference of incoming call notification, such as a personalized ring tone (type of ringing tone or incoming volume). The pre-installed settings (default settings) are pre-installed settings that are used when the user does not perform any operations or settings, such as “initial settings” or “specified values”. It is generally the same as the setting at the time of factory shipment (initial factory default) or the user's product purchase.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a second example of the operation procedure of the mobile terminal device according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same reference numerals are given to the portions overlapping with those in FIG. 3, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The incoming call operation instructing unit 142 detects that an incoming call has been detected (YES in step S1) and authentication has not been established (NO in step S2), that is, if no owner is present, the incoming call operation is not performed and the data processing unit 12 is not used. The incoming call information and the incoming call information such as the incoming call time are stored in the storage unit 141 as unreported incoming call information (step S11).

  And the wireless authentication result by the determination part 133 is monitored (step S12), and if it is determined that the authentication is established, that is, if the owner approaches the state away from the portable terminal device 1 (YES in step S12). ), Instructing the notification unit 15 to notify the incoming call based on the unreported incoming call information stored in the storage unit 141, and the notification unit 15 performs an incoming call notification operation based on the instruction (step S13). Note that the incoming call notification operation at this time may be a first incoming call notification operation when authentication is established as in step S3, or an arbitrary incoming call notification operation preset in the storage unit 141.

  In this way, it is possible to quickly notify the information of incoming calls that have not been received due to the absence of the owner when the owner approaches the mobile terminal device.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a third example of the operation procedure of the mobile terminal device according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same reference numerals are given to the portions overlapping with those in FIG.

  When an incoming call is detected (YES in step S1) and authentication is not established (NO in step S2), the incoming call operation instruction unit 142 stores unreported incoming call information in the storage unit 141 (step S11). And the wireless authentication result by the determination part 133 is monitored (step S12), and if it is determined that the authentication is established, that is, if the owner approaches the state away from the portable terminal device 1 (YES in step S12). ), The unreported incoming call information stored in the storage unit 141 is output to the data communication unit 134. The data communication unit 134 transmits the input unreported incoming call information to the wireless communication unit 3 via the wireless unit 132 (step S21).

  In the wireless communication unit 3, when the data communication unit 334 of the wireless authentication unit 33 receives the unreported incoming call information via the wireless unit 332, the data communication unit 334 outputs the unreported incoming call information to the notification operation control unit 34. When the notification incoming call information is received, the notification unit 35 is instructed to notify the incoming call by a predetermined incoming call notification operation, and the notification unit 15 performs the incoming call notification operation based on the instruction.

  In this way, it becomes possible for the wireless communication unit 3 to acquire information on an incoming call that has not performed an incoming call notification operation due to the absence of the owner when the owner approaches the mobile terminal device 1. Since 3 notifies the incoming call, it can be notified immediately at a position close to the owner. For example, in the case of notification (manner mode notification) that moves the vibration motor without making a sound, it is better to notify the clothing wireless communication unit than to misplace and notify the non-portable mobile terminal device Notification to the person can be performed more reliably.

  As described above, according to the mobile terminal device and the incoming call notification operation control method thereof according to the embodiment of the present invention, the incoming call notification method is controlled according to the distance from the wireless communication unit 3, so that the owner can Perform incoming call notification operation that prevents influence on the surroundings and leakage of personal information without losing convenience by performing different incoming call notification operations in the state of being near and away from the owner Can do.

  In the above description, the mobile terminal device that performs different incoming call notification operations based on the establishment / non-establishment of wireless authentication has been described. In other words, using the authentication distance for authentication, different incoming call notification operations are performed when the distance to the wireless communication unit 3 is within the authentication distance and when the distance exceeds the authentication distance. However, the reference distance for switching the incoming call notification operation is not limited to the authentication distance, and a distance different from the authentication distance may be used.

  In this case, the determination unit 133 of the wireless authentication unit 13 outputs distance information to the wireless communication unit 3 detected based on the received signal received via the wireless unit 132 to the incoming call operation instruction unit 142. In the storage unit 141, the distance to the wireless communication unit 3 and the incoming call notification method are stored in advance as setting information in association with each other. Then, when an incoming call is detected, the incoming call operation instructing unit 142 performs control processing of the incoming call notification operation with reference to the storage unit 141 based on the input distance information. Thereby, the incoming call notification can be performed by the incoming call notification method according to the distance from the wireless communication unit.

  Various wireless authentication methods are conceivable as described above. As a result of these authentications, an incoming call notification can be performed by an incoming call notification method according to whether authentication is established or not. Although there are various authentication methods, in general, when both are separated by a predetermined distance or more and the strength of the signal received by each of them is less than a predetermined value, the authentication is not established, and conversely, if it is within the predetermined distance, the authentication is established. It becomes. At this time, a plurality of authentication distances can be set. For example, when the distance is set to be short, authentication is not performed if the distance is not less than the set distance even within the authenticable distance (authentication is not established). It can also be considered. Note that the distance is determined by the strength of the received signal.

  In addition, the setting information of the incoming call notification operation can be arbitrarily changed by the user from the operation unit 16 and desired setting can be performed. For example, the operation unit 16 is used to specify the distance to the wireless communication unit 3 that is a reference for switching the incoming notification operation and the operation of the notification unit 15, and the setting information is stored in the storage unit 141 via the incoming operation instruction unit 142. Is remembered as

  In addition, setting information such as an incoming call notification operation of the mobile terminal device 1 may be changed using the operation unit 36 of the wireless communication unit 3. When the user receives an operation input specifying the setting of the incoming call notification operation from the operation unit 36, the data communication unit 334 transmits the setting information specified by the operation input to the mobile terminal device 1 via the wireless unit 332. When the portable communication device 1 receives the setting information via the wireless unit 132, the data communication unit 134 of the wireless authentication unit 13 outputs the setting information to the incoming operation instruction unit 142. The incoming call operation instruction unit 142 stores the setting information of the incoming call notification operation in the storage unit 141 and outputs a setting completion notification to the data communication unit 134.

  The data communication unit 134 transmits the input setting completion notification to the wireless communication unit 3 via the wireless unit 132. The data communication unit 334 of the wireless communication unit 3 receives the setting completion notification via the wireless unit 332 and notifies the setting completion by the notification unit 35 via the notification operation control unit 34. In the wireless communication unit 3, the notification operation control unit 34 detects the case where the setting completion notification is not received within a predetermined time after transmitting the setting information, and notifies the notification unit 35 of that fact. Good.

  Thereby, even when the portable terminal device 1 is put in a bag or the like, the setting can be changed without taking the portable terminal device 1 out of the bag or the like by remote operation, and the portable terminal device 1 is not directly seen. It is possible to grasp that the mobile terminal device 1 is operating. In addition, the exact location of the mobile terminal device 1 can be set without being known to others.

  Although the present invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

  This application is based on a Japanese patent application filed on June 30, 2005 (Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-192260), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
