[Transfer system including portable terminal according to Embodiment 2]
First, processing performed by the mobile terminal according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. 2 and 3 are diagrams for explaining processing performed by the mobile terminal according to the second embodiment. FIG. 2 shows an example in which four mobile terminals 200a to 200d exist.

  The mobile terminals 200a to 200d according to the second embodiment belong to a group formed by a plurality of mobile terminals (hereinafter referred to as “mobile terminal group”). Here, the “mobile terminal group” refers to a group formed by a user and to which a plurality of mobile terminals that are destinations of call transfer to each other belong. That is, the mobile terminals belonging to the same “mobile terminal group” transfer incoming calls to each other. And the portable terminal which concerns on Example 2 hold | maintains the "authentication code" for identifying a portable terminal group. In addition, the process which forms a portable terminal group is later mentioned using FIG.

  Here, in the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the mobile terminals 200a to 200c are held by the same user U1 and belong to the same mobile terminal group. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the mobile terminals 200a to 200c hold “xxx” as an authentication code for identifying the mobile terminal group. On the other hand, the mobile terminal 200d is held by another user U2 and holds the authentication code “yyy”.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the telephone number of the mobile terminal 200 a is “AAA”. The telephone numbers of the mobile terminals 200b to 200d are “BBB”, “CCC”, and “DDD”, respectively.

  Here, in the example illustrated in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the mobile terminals 200 a to 200 d exist within a short-range wireless communication area. In such a case, the mobile terminal 200a recognizes that the mobile terminals 200b to 200d exist in the vicinity of the own device (mobile terminal 200a) by using short-range wireless communication. Then, the mobile terminal 200a authenticates whether the mobile terminals 200b to 200d that have been recognized to exist in the vicinity belong to the same mobile terminal group as that of the mobile device (mobile terminal 200a).

  Specifically, the mobile terminal 200a authenticates whether or not the authentication code held by the own device matches the authentication code held by the mobile terminals 200b to 200d. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 200a holds an authentication code “xxx”, and the mobile terminals 200b and 200c hold an authentication code “xxx”. On the other hand, the mobile terminal 200d holds the authentication code “yyy”. Therefore, as a result of authentication, the mobile terminal 200a determines that the mobile terminals 200b and 200c belong to the same mobile terminal group as its own device, and determines that the mobile terminal 200d does not belong to the same mobile terminal group as its own device.

  Then, the portable terminal 200a stores a list of portable terminals that exist in the vicinity of the own device and belong to the same portable terminal group as the own device (hereinafter referred to as “authentication list”). In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 200a stores an authentication list including the mobile terminal 200b and the mobile terminal 200c.

  Similarly, the mobile terminal 200b recognizes that the mobile terminals 200a, 200c, and 200d exist in the vicinity of the own device (mobile terminal 200b) using the short-range wireless communication. And the portable terminal 200b memorize | stores the authentication list containing the portable terminal 200a and the portable terminal 200c as a result of authentication. In addition, the mobile terminal 200c stores an authentication list including the mobile terminal 200a and the mobile terminal 200b. On the other hand, the mobile terminal 200d does not store the mobile terminals 200a to 200c in the authentication list because the mobile terminal 200d exists in the vicinity of the mobile device and there is no mobile terminal belonging to the same mobile terminal group as the mobile device.

  In this way, the mobile terminals 200a to 200d recognize mobile terminals that exist in the vicinity of their own devices, and authenticate whether or not the recognized mobile terminals 200 belong to the same mobile terminal group as their own devices. And portable terminal 200a-200d produces | generates and memorize | stores an authentication list | wrist as a result of authentication.

  Here, when any of the mobile terminals 200a to 200d is taken out by the user, the configuration of the mobile terminal included in the authentication list may change. In such a case, the mobile terminals 200a to 200d store the mobile terminals that are no longer in the vicinity among the mobile terminals that exist in the vicinity as the transfer destination mobile terminals. In the following description, a list of mobile terminals that are no longer in the vicinity among mobile terminals that existed in the vicinity will be referred to as a “transfer destination list”.

  This will be specifically described with reference to the example shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 200a shown in FIG. 2 is taken out by the user and short-range wireless communication cannot be performed with the mobile terminals 200b and 200c. In FIG. 3, illustration of the portable terminal 200d is omitted.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the mobile terminal 200 b recognizes that the mobile terminal 200 c exists in the vicinity of the own device using short-range wireless communication, and the mobile terminal 200 c is the same mobile terminal as the own device. Judged to belong to a group. Therefore, the mobile terminal 200b stores an authentication list including the mobile terminal 200c. That is, the mobile terminal 200b deletes the mobile terminal 200a from the authentication list as compared with the state illustrated in FIG.

  At this time, the mobile terminal 200b stores a transfer destination list including the mobile terminals 200a that are no longer in the vicinity among the mobile terminals 200a and 200c that are in the vicinity. Then, the mobile terminal 200b notifies the center device that performs the transfer process of the telephone number of the mobile terminal 200a included in the transfer destination list.

  Similarly, the mobile terminal 200c recognizes that the mobile terminal 200b exists in the vicinity of its own device using short-range wireless communication, and determines that the mobile terminal 200b belongs to the same mobile terminal group as its own device. To do. Therefore, the mobile terminal 200c stores an authentication list including the mobile terminal 200b and also stores a transfer destination list including the mobile terminal 200a that no longer exists in the vicinity. Then, the mobile terminal 200c notifies the center device that performs the transfer process of the telephone number of the mobile terminal 200a included in the transfer destination list.

  Thereby, for example, when there is an incoming call to the mobile terminal 200b and there is no response for the incoming call from the mobile terminal 200b for a certain time, the center device transfers the incoming call to the mobile terminal 200b to the mobile terminal 200a. . For this reason, the user who took out the portable terminal 200a can respond to the incoming call to the portable terminal 200b using the portable terminal 200a. Similarly, since the center device transfers the incoming call to the mobile terminal 200c to the mobile terminal 200a, the user can respond to the incoming call to the mobile terminal 200c using the mobile terminal 200a.

At this time, it is assumed that the company mobile phone E cannot perform near field communication between the personal mobile phone F and the data terminal G. In this case, company mobile phone E deletes personal mobile phone F and data terminal G from the authentication list, and adds personal mobile phone F and data terminal G to the transfer destination list. The company mobile phone E notifies the center device 1 of the phone numbers of the personal mobile phone F and the data terminal G as the transfer destination phone numbers.

  Similarly, the personal mobile phone F deletes the business mobile phone E from the authentication list and adds the business mobile phone E to the transfer destination list. Further, the data terminal G deletes the company mobile phone E from the authentication list and adds the company mobile phone E to the transfer destination list. Then, the personal mobile phone F and the data terminal G notify the center device 1 of the telephone number of the company mobile phone E as the transfer destination telephone number.

  As a result, the center device 1 stores the telephone numbers of the personal mobile phone F and the data terminal G in association with the telephone number of the company mobile phone E as shown in the center of FIG. The center device 1 stores the telephone number of the company mobile phone E in association with the telephone number of the personal mobile phone F. However, FIG. 9 shows an example in which it is not stored due to the service contract contents of company mobile phone E. The center device 1 stores the telephone number of the company mobile phone E in association with the telephone number of the data terminal G.

  After that, as shown on the right side in FIG. 9, for example, when a call is made from the mobile terminal H to the personal mobile phone F, the user takes out the company mobile phone E and goes out. I cannot answer an incoming call. In this case, the center device 1 transfers the incoming call to the personal mobile phone F to the company mobile phone E when there is no response after a predetermined time has elapsed since the incoming call to the personal mobile phone F. As a result, the user can respond to an incoming call to the personal mobile phone F using the company mobile phone E.

  As described above, the mobile terminal 200 according to the second embodiment is particularly effective when applied to a case where the user has three or more mobile terminals. Specifically, when the user has three or more mobile terminals, conventionally, the user is required to perform troublesome transfer setting work and be aware of the transfer setting contents. However, when the mobile terminal 200 according to the second embodiment is used, the user is aware of the transfer setting contents without performing troublesome transfer setting work even when only the specific mobile terminal is taken out. It is possible to respond to an incoming call to each mobile terminal without any problem.

[Example of additional processing to a mobile device group]
Next, processing for adding a mobile terminal to a mobile terminal group will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of processing for adding a mobile terminal to the mobile terminal group. In addition, in FIG. 10, the example which adds the portable terminal F999i and the portable terminal 888T to a portable terminal group using the portable terminal W999 which has the function similar to the portable terminal 200 which concerns on Example 2 is demonstrated. FIG. 10 illustrates an example of adding a mobile terminal to a mobile terminal group using Bluetooth (registered trademark).

  When a predetermined operation is performed by the user, the mobile terminal W999 displays various information regarding the mobile terminal stored in the authentication list of the tag information storage unit 250 as shown in the screen G11 of FIG. Control display.

  When the menu button B11 is pressed on the screen G11, the portable terminal W999 controls the display of the menu list M12 on the display unit 210 as shown in the screen G12 of FIG. When “Register nearby terminal” is selected on the menu list M12, the short-range wireless communication unit 261 of the mobile terminal W999 exists in the vicinity of the mobile terminal W999 as shown in the screen G13 of FIG. In addition, the mobile terminal that does not exist in the authentication list is searched.

  Then, the mobile terminal W999 controls the display unit 210 to display a mobile terminal that newly exists in the vicinity, as shown in a screen G14 in FIG. In the example illustrated in FIG. 10, it is assumed that the mobile terminal F999i and the mobile terminal 888T are selected as the mobile terminal group on the screen G14. Here, it is assumed that a method of authenticating using a PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is adopted.

  In such a case, the portable terminal F999i and the portable terminal 888T display-control information such as “Registration request received. Do you want to send registration information?” As shown in the screen G21 in FIG. When “Yes” is selected on the screen G21 and the PIN code is input, the portable terminal F999i and the portable terminal 888T transmit the telephone number and the PIN code to the portable terminal W999.

  Then, the portable terminal W999 receives the input of the PIN code from the user, and when the input PIN code matches the PIN code received from the portable terminal F999i and the portable terminal 888T, the portable terminal selected on the screen G14 Register the device with the mobile device group. Specifically, as shown on screen G15 in FIG. 10, portable terminal F999i and portable terminal 888T are registered in the portable terminal group. At this time, the portable terminal W999 stores information on the portable terminal F999i and the portable terminal 888T in the authentication list of the tag information storage unit 250.

  Thus, for example, when a user purchases a new mobile terminal or when a new mobile terminal is distributed from a company, the user newly holds the mobile terminal in the mobile terminal group of the already owned mobile terminal. A mobile terminal can be easily registered.

[Effect of Example 2]
As described above, the mobile terminal 200 according to the second embodiment periodically monitors mobile terminals that exist in the vicinity, and receives mobile terminals that no longer exist among mobile terminals belonging to the same mobile terminal group. To the destination mobile device. Thereby, the mobile terminal 200 according to the second embodiment can transfer an incoming call to the mobile terminal taken out by the user.

  By the way, the portable terminal etc. which this application discloses may be implemented with a various different form other than the Example mentioned above. Therefore, in the third embodiment, another embodiment such as a portable terminal disclosed in the present application will be described.

[Fixed-line phone]
In the first and second embodiments, an example in which a mobile terminal group is formed between a plurality of mobile terminals has been described. However, the mobile terminal group may include a landline telephone or a computer that can make a call via a ship server. For example, a fixed telephone capable of performing short-range wireless communication and a mobile terminal may belong to the same mobile terminal group. Thereby, for example, when the user takes out the portable terminal and goes out, the incoming call to the fixed telephone can be transferred to the portable terminal. Thus, even when the user is out, the user can respond to an incoming call to the fixed telephone using the mobile terminal.

[Wireless method]
In the first and second embodiments, RFID, Bluetooth (registered trademark), and the like have been described as examples of short-range wireless communication standards. Here, when the mobile terminal disclosed in the present application is used in a detached house, a low-rise apartment, or an apartment, the mobile terminal disclosed in the present application is several tens [cm (centimeter)] to 2 [m (meter)]. It is desirable to use a standard for short-distance wireless communication that allows a certain degree of wireless communication. As a result, when the user takes out the portable terminal, the carried-out portable terminal can be used as a transfer destination portable terminal. Also, in a house or a company, it is desirable that a portable terminal disclosed in the present application uses an extremely short-distance communication standard when transferring processing is performed when moving a room or a meeting room. Thereby, even when the user moves the room with the portable terminal, the transfer process can be realized.

[Power saving]
As described in the second embodiment, the short-range wireless communication unit 261 of the mobile terminal 200 periodically performs short-range wireless communication with nearby mobile terminals. Here, the short-range wireless communication unit 261 shortens the short-range wireless communication interval when the mobile terminal 200 is being charged or while the mobile terminal 200 is connected to the external power supply after the charging is completed. When not charging, the interval for short-range wireless communication may be increased. Thereby, the portable terminal 200 can suppress battery consumption.

[program]
The various processes described in the above embodiments can be realized by executing a program prepared in advance on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. In the following, an example of a computer that executes a mobile terminal control program having the same function as the mobile terminal 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a computer that executes a mobile terminal control program.

Specifically, the short-range wireless communication program 1041, the presence / absence recognition program 1042, and the transfer destination determination program 1043 are stored in the ROM 1040.

  Then, the CPU 1050 reads and executes the short-range wireless communication program 1041, the presence / absence recognition program 1042, and the transfer destination determination program 1043. Thus, as shown in FIG. 11, the short-range wireless communication program 1041 becomes a short-range wireless communication process 1051, the presence / absence recognition program 1042 becomes a presence / absence recognition process 1052, and the transfer destination determination program 1043 determines a transfer destination determination. Process 1053 is entered. The short-range wireless communication process 1051 corresponds to the short-range wireless communication unit 110 illustrated in FIG. 1, the presence / absence recognition process 1052 corresponds to the presence / absence recognition unit 120 illustrated in FIG. 1, and the transfer destination determination process 1053 includes This corresponds to the transfer destination determination unit 130 shown in FIG.

  Further, the HDD 1030 is provided with transfer destination related information 1031 as shown in FIG. The transfer destination related information 1031 corresponds to, for example, the tag information storage unit 250 illustrated in FIG.

  Note that the programs 1041 to 1043 described above are not necessarily stored in the ROM 1040. For example, the programs 1041 to 1043 may be stored in a “portable physical medium” such as a flexible disk (FD), a CD-ROM, an MO disk, a DVD disk, a magneto-optical disk, or an IC card inserted into the computer 1000. . Alternatively, the programs 1041 to 1043 may be stored in a “fixed physical medium” such as a hard disk drive (HDD) provided inside or outside the computer 1000. Alternatively, the programs 1041 to 1043 may be stored in “another computer (or server)” connected to the computer 1000 via a public line, the Internet, a LAN, a WAN, or the like. Then, the computer 1000 may read and execute each program from the above-described flexible disk or the like.
