Description

  The present invention relates to a communication terminal apparatus and a program having a communication function for making / receiving calls.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, mobile phone devices record their own telephone number as a subscriber number in a memory card (IC card) as a portable recording medium, not in its main body memory (internal memory). Models that can make and receive calls based on telephone numbers are becoming popular. This memory card is generally called a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card or a UIM (User Identity Module) card, in which communication contract information such as a telephone number (subscriber number) is recorded. By attaching this memory card to the mobile phone device, it becomes possible to use one mobile phone device as appropriate, for example, for business use or for private use. Conventionally, as a terminal using this type of memory card, for example, a technique capable of mounting a plurality of memory cards is known (see Patent Document 1).

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
This embodiment exemplifies a case where the present invention is applied to a mobile phone device as a communication terminal device. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing basic components of the mobile phone device.
This cellular phone device is, for example, a foldable one in which two casings (an operation unit casing and a display unit casing) are attached so as to be openable and closable, and includes a call function, an e-mail function, an Internet connection function (Web access function) ) Etc. are provided. The control unit 1 operates by supplying power from a power supply unit 2 including a secondary battery, and controls a central central processing unit that controls the overall operation of the mobile phone device according to various programs in the storage unit 3 Have The storage unit 3 is an internal memory, and has a program area and a data area. In this program area, a program for realizing the present embodiment in accordance with an operation procedure shown in FIGS. Stored.

  The communication unit 4 takes in a signal from the reception side of a transmission / reception unit (baseband unit) connected to an antenna constituting the radio unit, demodulates it to a reception baseband signal, and then receives audio from the reception speaker SP via the telephone unit 5. Output. In addition, the communication unit 5 takes in the input voice from the transmission microphone MC via the telephone unit 5, encodes it into a transmission baseband signal, and then gives it to the transmission side of the transmission / reception unit to output from the antenna. On the other hand, the display data received and acquired via the communication unit 4 is displayed on the display unit 6 using high-definition liquid crystal or organic EL. The operation unit 7 performs dial input, character input, password input, command input, and the like. The control unit 1 executes processing according to a key input signal from the operation unit 7.

  The fingerprint input unit 8 obtains a digital image (fingerprint information) obtained by converting a charge amount according to the unevenness of the fingerprint into a voltage value and gives it to the control unit 1. The control unit 1 is input from the fingerprint input unit 8. The fingerprint information is transmitted to an authentication server (not shown) via a mobile communication system including a mobile communication network. In this case, the authentication server compares the characteristic portions (fingerprint center point, branch point, end point, delta, etc.) based on the received fingerprint information and pre-registered fingerprint information, and the two match characteristically. Fingerprint authentication (user authentication) is performed based on whether or not, and the result is returned. The first SIM card reading unit 9 and the second SIM card reading unit 10 are configured to store the contents of the SIM card when a SIM card (not shown) in which a telephone number or the like is recorded is inserted into the slot. (Communication contract information including a telephone number) is read, and the telephone number read from the corresponding SIM card is given to the control unit 1.

 The first SIM card reading unit 9 stores a SIM card in which a main telephone number (first telephone number) serving as a main telephone number for the mobile phone device (hereinafter referred to as the own terminal) is recorded. Is inserted (inserted), and when the SIM card is inserted, the main telephone number becomes valid and the outgoing / incoming call becomes possible. The second SIM card reading unit 10 has a secondary telephone number as a primary telephone number for another mobile phone device (hereinafter referred to as another terminal) and a secondary telephone number for the terminal itself. A SIM card in which a telephone number (second telephone number) is recorded is inserted. The primary phone number is the subscriber number for which the contract was made with the telecommunications carrier for the own terminal, whereas the secondary phone number was not signed for the own terminal, but the other terminal was signed. Subscriber number. Note that the owners of the own terminal and the other terminal are not limited to the same person, and may be different, for example, brothers, couples, and employees.

 Here, for example, when two SIM cards are mutually used by the brothers, the phone number recorded on the brother's SIM card is the secondary phone number in the brother's mobile phone device. In the portable telephone apparatus, the telephone number recorded on the brother's SIM card is the secondary telephone number. The control unit 1 is attached to the first SIM card reading unit 9 when using the telephone number in the SIM card attached to the second SIM card reading unit 10 (sub-phone number in its own terminal). If the primary telephone number in the SIM card is valid, the outgoing / incoming call with the secondary telephone number is valid. If the primary telephone number is invalid, the outgoing / incoming call with the secondary telephone number is invalidated. I have to.

  Next, the operation concept of the cellular phone device in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. In addition, the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via the transmission medium can be sequentially executed. In other words, in addition to the recording medium, an operation peculiar to this embodiment can be executed by using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

2 and 3 are flowcharts showing the overall operation of the mobile phone device that is started to be executed when the power is turned on.
First, when power is supplied to each unit, the control unit 1 performs power ON processing (step S1), and then accesses the first SIM card reading unit 9 to access the SIM card to the slot unit. Is checked (step S2). If the SIM card is not inserted (NO in step S2), the system waits until the SIM card is inserted. If the SIM card is inserted (YES in step S2), the SIM card is inserted. It is checked whether the recorded telephone number is a telephone number contracted with the terminal itself (step S3).

  Here, the control unit 1 uses the telephone number in the SIM card inserted in the first SIM card reading unit 9 as a caller's telephone number to make a call to the mobile communication system described above. It is checked whether the number is a telephone number (main telephone number) contracted with the terminal itself. That is, when the current area position is registered through the nearest base station constituting the mobile communication system, the user identification information (subscriber telephone number) stored and managed on the mobile communication system side is stored. Is inquired as to whether or not the corresponding telephone number is registered, and it is checked whether or not it is the main telephone number contracted on the own terminal side (the same applies hereinafter).

  If it is not the telephone number (main telephone number) contracted with the terminal itself (NO in step S3), a message notifying that the SIM card should be replaced is output (step S4), and the process returns to step S2 described above. However, if it is the primary telephone number contracted with the own terminal (YES in step S3), the “expiration date” set in advance in association with the primary telephone number is read out and compared with the current date and time, and the expiration date is exceeded. (Step S5). This “expiration date” corresponding to the main telephone number is a time limit for making and receiving calls using the main telephone number, and can be arbitrarily set by a user operation or the like. In other words, in order to be able to deal with the loss or theft of the terminal itself, for example, if the current date is September 1, 2007, and if September 30, 2007 is set as the “expiration date”, 2007 Even if the terminal is lost after October 1st, the main telephone number becomes invalid and it is impossible to make or receive calls using that telephone number. The “expiration date” corresponding to the main telephone number may be stored in the storage unit 3 in the terminal itself, or may be stored in the SIM card in association with the main telephone number.

  If the “expiration date” corresponding to the main telephone number has been exceeded (NO in step S5), a message to that effect is output (step S6), and then outgoing / incoming calls with this main telephone number are invalidated. However, if the “expiration date” has not been exceeded (YES in step S5), the telephone number is set as a main telephone number so as to be able to make and receive calls (step S7). Then, the second SIM card reading unit 10 is accessed to check whether a SIM card is inserted in the slot (step S8).

  If a SIM card is not inserted (NO in step S8), the process proceeds to a user authentication process described later (steps S11 to S14), but if a SIM card is inserted in the second SIM card reading unit 10 ( YES in step S8), it is checked whether the telephone number recorded in the SIM card is a telephone number contracted with another terminal (step S9). In this case, as in the case where the presence / absence of a contract at the own terminal is checked, the telephone number is contracted at another terminal by making a call to the mobile communication system using the telephone number as the source telephone number. Check whether or not.

  As a result, if the telephone number in the SIM card inserted in the second SIM card reading unit 10 is not a telephone number contracted with another terminal (NO in step S9), the process proceeds to the user authentication process (step S9). If it is a telephone number contracted with another terminal (YES in step S9), this telephone number is set as a sub telephone number so as to be able to make and receive calls (step S10). Thereafter, the process proceeds to user authentication processing (steps S11 to S14).

  In the user authentication process, while waiting for input while displaying a message for prompting fingerprint input (step S11), when fingerprint information is input from the fingerprint input unit 8 (YES in step S12), the fingerprint information is transferred to mobile communication. It transmits to an authentication server (not shown) via a system (step S13). Here, the authentication server compares the feature parts (fingerprint center point, branch point, end point, delta, etc.) based on the received fingerprint information and pre-registered fingerprint information, and the two match characteristically. Fingerprint authentication is performed based on whether or not to do so, and the result is returned. If the authentication result from the authentication server is authentication OK indicating that the user is an authorized user (YES in step S14), the control unit 1 updates the “expiration date” corresponding to the main telephone number (step S15). For example, every time that the user is authenticated, the “expiration date” is postponed by adding one day to the “expiration date” corresponding to the main telephone number.

  Then, as described above, in a standby state where a call can be made / received with at least one of the primary telephone number and the secondary telephone number (a state where a standby screen is displayed) (step S16), the control unit 1 Check whether there is an incoming call addressed to the number (step S17 in FIG. 3), check whether there is an outgoing operation with the main telephone number as the caller (step S22), or check whether there is an incoming call addressed to the sub-phone number ( In step S24), the presence / absence of a call operation with the sub-phone number as the caller is checked (step S29). Now, when an incoming call addressed to the main telephone number is received (YES in step S17), when an off-hook operation is performed and line connection is established (YES in step S18), a call-enabled state is set accordingly (step S18). Step S19). In this state, if an on-hook operation is performed (YES in step S20), the line connection is interrupted (step S21), and then the above standby state is restored (step S16 in FIG. 2).

  If a call operation with the main telephone number as the caller is performed (YES in step S22), the call is ready (step S19) by an incoming call response from the callee (YES in step S23). ). In this state, in response to the on-hook operation (YES in step S20), the line connection is cut off (step S21). On the other hand, when an operation (other operation) other than the call operation using the main telephone number or the sub-phone number as the caller is performed (NO in step S29), as a process corresponding to the operation, for example, the main telephone After performing the process of setting the “expiration date” corresponding to the number, e-mail creation process, transmission / reception process, and the like (step S32), the process returns to the standby state described above (step S16 in FIG. 2).

  Further, when an incoming call addressed to the secondary telephone number is received (YES in step S24), when an off-hook operation is performed and line connection is established (YES in step S25), a call-enabled state is set accordingly (step S25). Step S26). If an on-hook operation is performed in this state (YES in step S27), the line connection is interrupted (step S28), and then the above standby state is restored (step S16 in FIG. 2). If a call operation is performed with the sub-phone number as the caller (YES in step S29), the call is ready (step S26) in response to the incoming call from the callee (YES in step S30). ). In this state, in response to the on-hook operation (YES in step S27), the line connection is blocked (step S28).

 As described above, in this embodiment, when the control unit 1 uses the telephone number in the SIM card attached to the second SIM card reading unit 10 (sub-phone number in its own terminal), If the primary telephone number in the SIM card attached to the SIM card reading unit 9 is valid, the incoming / outgoing call with the secondary telephone number is valid. If the primary telephone number is invalid, the secondary telephone number is valid. Since the outgoing / incoming call is invalidated, it is possible to prevent the secondary telephone number from being used on the own terminal even though the primary telephone number of the own terminal is not valid. it can. In other words, if the telephone numbers of the terminal and other terminals are valid, there is an effect that both terminals can use the telephone numbers.

 Based on whether or not the main phone number of the terminal itself is contracted with a telecommunications carrier, the validity of the main phone number is determined. Therefore, the main phone number of the terminal itself is contracted with the carrier. Only in some cases, a SIM card that can be used as a secondary telephone number can be arbitrarily selected. Accordingly, as a result, it is possible to suppress the replacement of the terminal itself and the cancellation of the contract of the main telephone number, and it can be useful for collecting sales incentives.

  Since it is determined whether the main telephone number is valid or invalid on the condition that the SIM card in which the main telephone number of the terminal is recorded is installed, the first and second SIM card reading units 9 10, by attaching a corresponding SIM card, it is possible to make and receive calls with the primary telephone number and the secondary telephone number, and it is not necessary to replace the SIM card.

  The control unit 1 monitors whether or not the “expiration date” corresponding to the main telephone number has been exceeded. If the “expiration date” has been exceeded, the control unit 1 invalidates the main phone number of the terminal itself. Therefore, it becomes possible to cope with the loss or theft of the terminal itself. In this case, the control unit 1 can update the “expiration date” corresponding to the main telephone number every time it is authenticated as a legitimate user by fingerprint authentication. If so, you can continue to use your primary phone number.

  In the embodiment described above, the first SIM card reading unit 9 and the second SIM card reading unit 10 are provided, and the primary telephone number of the own terminal is recorded in the first SIM card reading unit 9. However, the main telephone number of the terminal itself may be stored in the built-in memory. In this case, a contract is made by storing the main telephone number in the built-in memory on the telecommunications carrier side, and the contract state is maintained until the main telephone number is deleted from the built-in memory. Therefore, the control unit 1 stores the main telephone number in the built-in memory. The validity / invalidity (contract / cancellation) of the main telephone number may be determined by determining whether the telephone number is stored.

  In the above-described embodiments, the case where there is one type of sub-phone number is illustrated, but there may be a plurality of sub-phone numbers. In this way, even if a plurality of secondary telephone numbers can be used, it is only necessary to be able to make and receive calls at each secondary telephone number only when the primary telephone number of the terminal itself is valid.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the main phone number of the own terminal is invalid, the input operation is also prohibited. However, only the outgoing / incoming call with the main phone number and the sub phone number is prohibited, The input operation may be valid. In this case, even if the primary telephone number of the terminal itself is invalid, for example, for special emergency calls such as 110 and 119, outgoing calls using the secondary telephone number may be permitted.

  In the above-described embodiments, fingerprint authentication is exemplified as user authentication. However, password authentication, voice authentication, or the like may be used. In addition, the extension of the “expiration date” corresponding to the main telephone number is updated every time the user authentication is authenticated as a legitimate user. You may make it update once.

  In addition, the portable recording medium is not limited to the SIM card but may be a UIM card, and the shape thereof is not limited to the card type but may be a stick type. Further, the present invention is not limited to the mobile phone device, and can be similarly applied to a PDA with a communication function, an electronic camera, an electronic wristwatch, a PC (personal computer), and the like.
