Description

本発明は、携帯電話機を通信方式の異なる地域でも使用可能にする通信デバイスに関する。   The present invention relates to a communication device that enables a mobile phone to be used in regions with different communication methods.

特許文献1で開示された通話通知システムは、発信側端末が通信方式の異なる地域へのローミングの手続の完了した着信側端末に発信すると、発信側端末の通信方式の適合する地域における通信事業者の通信システムは着信側端末が通信方式の異なる地域へのローミング端末利用者情報に存在するかしないかを判断し、着信側端末が通信方式の異なる地域へのローミング端末利用者情報に存在すると、前記発信側端末の通信事業者の通信システムが通信方式の異なる地域への電話となることを発信側端末に通知して通信方式の異なる地域への電話として接続するか否かを発信側端末の利用者に確認させるようになっている。   In the call notification system disclosed in Patent Document 1, when a calling terminal sends a call to a receiving terminal that has completed a roaming procedure to an area with a different communication method, a communication carrier in a region where the communication method of the calling terminal is compatible The communication system of the mobile terminal determines whether or not the receiving terminal exists in the roaming terminal user information for an area with a different communication method, and if the receiving terminal exists in the roaming terminal user information for an area with a different communication method, The calling side terminal notifies the calling side terminal that the communication system of the communication carrier of the calling side terminal is a call to an area with a different communication method and determines whether or not to connect as a call to an area with a different communication method. The user is asked to confirm.

ところで、携帯電話機を通信方式の異なる地域で使用する場合、携帯電話機の利用者が携帯電話機の通信方式の適合する地域における通信事業者と通信方式の異なる地域へのローミングの手続を完了していても、携帯電話機が通信方式の異なる地域で通信できない。この場合、帯電話機の利用者は、通信方式の異なる地域に適合する携帯電話機を利用する必要があるが、通信方式の異なる地域に適合する携帯電話機に不慣れで使いにくいという問題がある。   By the way, when a mobile phone is used in an area with a different communication method, the user of the mobile phone has completed the roaming procedure to an area with a different communication method from the carrier in an area where the communication method of the mobile phone is compatible. However, mobile phones cannot communicate in areas with different communication methods. In this case, the user of the band telephone needs to use a mobile phone adapted to an area having a different communication method, but there is a problem that the user is unfamiliar with a mobile phone adapted to an area having a different communication method and is difficult to use.

The suitable region unique identification information 36 is used by attaching the suitable region unique identification information 20 of the mobile phone 1 to the communication device 2 and is the same as the suitable region unique identification information 20.

次に、図1に示した通信システムの作用について説明する。携帯電話機1の通信方式の適合する地域の通信事業者が通信方式の異なる地域の通信事業者と携帯電話機1に対する通信方式の異なる地域へのローミングの契約をしていても、携帯電話機1の利用者が通信方式の異なる地域を来訪した際に通信方式の異なる地域で携帯電話機1を使用して通信を行うことができない。そこで、携帯電話機1の利用者は、通信方式の適合する地域で使用している携帯電話機1を通信方式の異なる地域で使用可能にすべく、まず、通信デバイス2の通信事業者と通信デバイス2の貸借契約を行う。この貸借契約は、携帯電話機1の利用者が通信方式の異なる地域への来訪前にインターネット5を利用して行うか、又は、通信方式の異なる地域への来訪後に通信デバイス2の通信事業者の運営する店舗で行うことが考えられる。そして、携帯電話機1の利用者が通信方式の異なる地域を来訪後に、通信事業者が運営する店舗において、貸借契約済の通信デバイス2を借り受けるとともに、通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19を携帯電話機1の記憶部18にインストールする。   Next, the operation of the communication system shown in FIG. 1 will be described. Even if a telecommunications carrier in a region where the communication system of the mobile phone 1 is compatible has a roaming contract with a telecommunications carrier in a region where the communication method is different from the mobile phone 1 in a region where the communication method is different, the use of the mobile phone 1 When a person visits an area with a different communication method, the mobile phone 1 cannot be used for communication in an area with a different communication method. Therefore, first, the user of the mobile phone 1 uses the communication carrier of the communication device 2 and the communication device 2 so that the mobile phone 1 used in an area where the communication method is compatible can be used in an area where the communication method is different. Make a loan contract. This lending contract is made by the user of the mobile phone 1 using the Internet 5 before visiting an area with a different communication method, or after a visit to an area with a different communication method. It is possible to do it at the store that operates. Then, after the user of the mobile phone 1 visits an area with a different communication method, the mobile device 1 borrows the communication device 2 that has already been lent in a store operated by the communication carrier, and stores the communication device opposite phone application 19 in the memory of the mobile phone 1. Installed in the unit 18.

次に、携帯電話機1の利用者は、適合地域固有識別情報20を携帯電話機1から取外し、その取外した適合地域固有識別情報20を適合地域固有識別情報36として通信デバイス2に装着する。そして、携帯電話機1の利用者は、携帯電話機1と通信デバイス2を操作して携帯電話機1の近距離無線通信部11と通信デバイス2の近距離無線通信部31とを無線通信できるように接続(ペアリング)する。   Next, the user of the mobile phone 1 removes the compatible area specific identification information 20 from the mobile phone 1 and attaches the removed compatible area specific identification information 20 to the communication device 2 as the compatible area specific identification information 36. Then, the user of the mobile phone 1 operates the mobile phone 1 and the communication device 2 so as to perform wireless communication between the short-range wireless communication unit 11 of the mobile phone 1 and the short-range wireless communication unit 31 of the communication device 2. (Pairing).

上記のように、近距離無線通信部11と近距離無線通信部31とがペアリングされたことにより、携帯電話機1と通信デバイス2とが近距離無線通信を行えるようになり、通信デバイス2と基地局3とが無線通信を行なえるようになる。その状態において、携帯電話機1の利用者が携帯電話機1の入力部17を操作してデータ通信を行う場合は、通信デバイス2が特定地域固有識別情報35及び無線通信部30を用いてデータ通信を行う。利用者が携帯電話機1の入力部17を操作して音声通信及びSMS通信を行う場合は、通信デバイス2が適合地域固有識別情報36及び無線通信部30並びにローミング機能を用いて音声通信及びSMS通信を行う。   As described above, since the short-range wireless communication unit 11 and the short-range wireless communication unit 31 are paired, the mobile phone 1 and the communication device 2 can perform short-range wireless communication. The base station 3 can perform wireless communication. In this state, when the user of the mobile phone 1 performs data communication by operating the input unit 17 of the mobile phone 1, the communication device 2 performs data communication using the specific area unique identification information 35 and the wireless communication unit 30. Do. When the user operates the input unit 17 of the mobile phone 1 to perform voice communication and SMS communication, the communication device 2 uses the compatible area unique identification information 36, the wireless communication unit 30, and the roaming function to perform voice communication and SMS communication. I do.

具体的には、携帯電話機1の利用者が携帯電話機1の入力部17を操作してデータ通信を開始すると、携帯電話機1の制御部13が通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19に基づき携帯電話機1の近距離無線通信部11を制御し、近距離無線通信部11が通信デバイス2の近距離無線通信部31と無線通信で音声通信やデータ通信を送受信する。この近距離無線通信部31における音声通信やデータ通信の送受信により制御部34が記憶部33に予め設定されたプログラムに従って無線通信部30を制御する。これにより、携帯電話機1が通信デバイス2を介して基地局3及び通信網4並びにインターネット5と音声通信やデータ通信を送受信することができる。   Specifically, when the user of the mobile phone 1 operates the input unit 17 of the mobile phone 1 to start data communication, the control unit 13 of the mobile phone 1 closes the mobile phone 1 based on the communication device opposing phone application 19. The distance wireless communication unit 11 is controlled, and the short distance wireless communication unit 11 transmits and receives voice communication and data communication by wireless communication with the short distance wireless communication unit 31 of the communication device 2. The control unit 34 controls the wireless communication unit 30 according to a program preset in the storage unit 33 by transmission / reception of voice communication and data communication in the short-range wireless communication unit 31. Thereby, the mobile phone 1 can transmit and receive voice communication and data communication with the base station 3, the communication network 4 and the Internet 5 via the communication device 2.

つまり、携帯電話機1に対する通信方式の異なる地域へのローミングの手続が完了していても、携帯電話機1が来訪した通信方式の異なる地域で利用できない場合には、特定地域固有識別情報35でデータ通信を行い、適合地域固有識別情報36で音声通信及びSMS通信を行う。SMS(英語のshort message service)は、日本語のショートメッセージサービスの略号であり、携帯電話機同士で短いテキスト文章によるメッセージを送受信するサービスである。よって、通信デバイス2の無線通信部30は通信方式の異なる地域の通信方式を採用しているので、携帯電話機1の利用者は、携帯電話機1を通信方式の異なる地域で使用しながら音声通信やデータ通信を行うことができる。   That is, even if the procedure for roaming to an area with a different communication method for the mobile phone 1 is completed, if the mobile phone 1 cannot be used in an area with a different communication method, the data communication is performed using the specific area specific identification information 35. The voice communication and the SMS communication are performed using the suitable area specific identification information 36. SMS (English short message service) is an abbreviation for Japanese short message service, and is a service for sending and receiving messages in short text sentences between mobile phones. Therefore, since the wireless communication unit 30 of the communication device 2 employs a communication system in a region having a different communication method, a user of the mobile phone 1 can perform voice communication or the like while using the mobile phone 1 in a region having a different communication method. Data communication can be performed.

例えば、通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19が携帯電話機1にインストールされ、携帯電話機1の近距離無線通信部11と通信デバイス2の近距離無線通信部31とのペアリングが行われた状態において、携帯電話機1の利用者が入力部17を操作してデータ通信を行うURLを入力すると、入力されたURLが近距離無線通信部11から近距離無線通信部31に送信される。通信デバイス2の制御部34は、近距離無線通信部31からURLに基づく通信を示す情報により特定地域固有識別情報35を発信元とし、近距離無線通信部31が受信したURLを送信先として無線通信部30に送信する。無線通信部30は特定地域固有識別情報35を発信元とし、近距離無線通信部31が受信したURLを送信先として基地局3に送信する。又、適合地域固有識別情報36への音声通信とSMS通信は、通信デバイス2から近距離無線通信部11及び31を経由して通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19に転送される。携帯電話機1の利用者が通信方式の異なる地域に在圏する携帯電話機に音声通信する場合、携帯電話機1の利用者が携帯電話機1の入力部17を操作して通信方式の異なる地域に在圏する携帯電話機の通信方式の異なる地域で使用される電話番号を入力すると、通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19が入力部17から入力された電話番号を近距離無線通信部11から近距離無線通信部31に送信される。通信デバイス2の制御部34は、近距離無線通信部31から通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19に基づく通信を示す情報により適合地域固有識別情報36を発信元とし、近距離無線通信部31が受信した電話番号を送信先として無線通信部30に送信する。無線通信部30は適合地域固有識別情報36を発信元とし、近距離無線通信部31が受信した電話番号を送信先として基地局3に送信する。基地局3は通信網4やインターネット5を介して送信先を特定して携帯電話機1と通信方式の異なる地域に在圏する携帯電話機とを通信可能に接続する。   For example, in a state where the communication device opposing phone application 19 is installed in the mobile phone 1 and the short-range wireless communication unit 11 of the mobile phone 1 is paired with the short-range wireless communication unit 31 of the communication device 2, the mobile phone When one user operates the input unit 17 to input a URL for performing data communication, the input URL is transmitted from the short-range wireless communication unit 11 to the short-range wireless communication unit 31. The control unit 34 of the communication device 2 wirelessly uses the specific area specific identification information 35 as a transmission source based on information indicating communication based on the URL from the short-range wireless communication unit 31 and uses the URL received by the short-range wireless communication unit 31 as a transmission destination. It transmits to the communication part 30. The wireless communication unit 30 transmits the specific area unique identification information 35 as a transmission source and the URL received by the short-range wireless communication unit 31 as a transmission destination to the base station 3. Also, voice communication and SMS communication to the compatible area unique identification information 36 are transferred from the communication device 2 to the communication device opposite phone application 19 via the short-range wireless communication units 11 and 31. When a user of the mobile phone 1 performs voice communication with a mobile phone located in an area with a different communication method, the user of the mobile phone 1 operates in the area with a different communication method by operating the input unit 17 of the mobile phone 1. When a telephone number used in an area with a different mobile phone communication method is input, the telephone number input from the input device 17 by the communication device opposite phone application 19 is transferred from the short-range wireless communication unit 11 to the short-range wireless communication unit 31. Sent. The control unit 34 of the communication device 2 uses the compatible area unique identification information 36 as a transmission source based on information indicating communication based on the communication device facing telephone application 19 from the short-range wireless communication unit 31, and the telephone received by the short-range wireless communication unit 31. The number is transmitted to the wireless communication unit 30 as a transmission destination. The wireless communication unit 30 transmits the telephone number received by the short-range wireless communication unit 31 to the base station 3 using the compatible area unique identification information 36 as a transmission source and the transmission number as a transmission destination. The base station 3 specifies a transmission destination via the communication network 4 or the Internet 5 and connects the mobile phone 1 and a mobile phone located in an area having a different communication method so as to communicate with each other.

その後、携帯電話機1の利用者が、通信方式の異なる地域から通信方式の適合する地域に行く前に、通信デバイス2から適合地域固有識別情報36を取外し、通信デバイス2を通信事業者が運営する店舗に返却する。この時、記憶部18にインストールされた通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19については、携帯電話機1の利用者の選択事項として、携帯電話機1の利用者が通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19を記憶部18から消去するか、又は、携帯電話機1の利用者が通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19を記憶部18から消去しないで記憶部18にンストールしたままとするかは、携帯電話機1の利用者に任せてもよい。   Thereafter, before the user of the mobile phone 1 goes from a region with a different communication method to a region with a suitable communication method, the compatible region unique identification information 36 is removed from the communication device 2, and the communication device 2 operates the communication device 2. Return to the store. At this time, with respect to the communication device opposite phone application 19 installed in the storage unit 18, the user of the mobile phone 1 deletes the communication device opposite phone application 19 from the storage unit 18 as a selection item of the user of the mobile phone 1. Alternatively, it may be left to the user of the mobile phone 1 whether the user of the mobile phone 1 keeps the communication device opposing phone application 19 in the storage unit 18 without deleting it from the storage unit 18.

このように、発明を実施するための形態に係る通信システムによれば、携帯電話機1と通信方式の異なる地域の通信方式に合致する通信方式を採用している通信デバイス2とを近距離無線通信部11及び31による無線通信で音声通信やデータ通信の送受信を行うようにしたので、携帯電話機1の利用者は、使い慣れた携帯電話機1を通信方式の適合する地域と同様に通信方式の異なる地域でも使用することができる。   As described above, according to the communication system according to the mode for carrying out the invention, the short-distance wireless communication is performed between the mobile phone 1 and the communication device 2 adopting a communication method that matches a communication method in a region where the communication method is different. Since the voice communication and the data communication are transmitted and received by the wireless communication by the units 11 and 31, the user of the cellular phone 1 can use the familiar cellular phone 1 in a region where the communication method is different from the region where the communication method is suitable. But it can be used.

次に、図2を用いて、通信デバイス2を使用して携帯電話機1を通信方式の異なる地域で使用可能にする手順について説明する。まず、図2のステップ201において、通信方式の適合する地域から通信方式の異なる地域を来訪する携帯電話機1の利用者は、通信方式の異なる地域への来訪前に通信デバイス2の通信事業者と通信デバイス2の貸借契約をする。   Next, with reference to FIG. 2, a procedure for using the communication device 2 to enable the mobile phone 1 to be used in a region having a different communication method will be described. First, in step 201 of FIG. 2, the user of the mobile phone 1 who visits a region with a different communication method from a region with a suitable communication method is contacted with the communication carrier of the communication device 2 before visiting the region with a different communication method. A loan contract for the communication device 2 is made.

次に、ステップ202において、携帯電話機1の利用者が通信方式の異なる地域を来訪後に、通信事業者の店舗から貸借契約していた通信デバイス2を借り受けるとともに、通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19を携帯電話機1の記憶部18にインストールする。   Next, in step 202, after the user of the mobile phone 1 visits an area with a different communication method, the user borrows the communication device 2 that has been leased from the store of the communication carrier, and sets the communication device opposite phone application 19 to the mobile phone. 1 in the storage unit 18.

そして、ステップ203において、携帯電話機1の利用者は、適合地域固有識別情報20を携帯電話機1から取外し、その取外した適合地域固有識別情報20を適合地域固有識別情報36として通信デバイス2に装着する。その後、携帯電話機1の利用者は、携帯電話機1と通信デバイス2とを操作して携帯電話機1の近距離無線通信部11と通信デバイス2の近距離無線通信部31とを無線通信できるように接続する。   In step 203, the user of the mobile phone 1 removes the compatible region specific identification information 20 from the mobile phone 1 and attaches the removed compatible region specific identification information 20 to the communication device 2 as the compatible region specific identification information 36. . Thereafter, the user of the mobile phone 1 operates the mobile phone 1 and the communication device 2 so that the short-range wireless communication unit 11 of the mobile phone 1 and the short-range wireless communication unit 31 of the communication device 2 can perform wireless communication. Connecting.

これにより、携帯電話機1と通信デバイス2とが無線通信により音声通信やデータ通信を送受信できるようになる。よって、携帯電話機1の利用者と通信デバイス2の通信事業者との間で貸借契約の成立した通信デバイス2を介すことで、携帯電話機1の利用者は携帯電話機1を使用して通信方式の異なる地域での音声通信やデータ通信が可能となる。   Thereby, the cellular phone 1 and the communication device 2 can transmit and receive voice communication and data communication by wireless communication. Therefore, the user of the mobile phone 1 uses the mobile phone 1 to communicate with the communication method through the communication device 2 in which a lease contract is established between the user of the mobile phone 1 and the communication carrier of the communication device 2. Voice communication and data communication in different areas are possible.

そして、ステップ204において、携帯電話機1の利用者が通信方式の異なる地域から出る前に通信デバイス2から適合地域固有識別情報36を取外し、携帯電話機1の利用者が通信デバイス2を通信事業者の運営する店舗に返却する。   In step 204, before the user of the mobile phone 1 leaves the area with a different communication method, the compatible area unique identification information 36 is removed from the communication device 2, and the user of the mobile phone 1 connects the communication device 2 to the communication carrier. Return to the store you operate.

前記発明を実施するための形態では、携帯電話機1に対する通信方式の異なる地域へのローミングの手続が完了していても、携帯電話機1の通信方式が通信方式の異なる地域の通信方式と異なるため、携帯電話機1が通信方式の異なる地域で利用できない場合について説明したが、携帯電話機1に対する通信方式の異なる地域へのローミングの手続が完了していて、携帯電話機1の通信方式が通信方式の異なる地域の通信方式に適合していて通信方式の異なる地域で使用可能である場合であっても、通話及び通信の料金の節約並びに快適な通信環境を求める場合には、適合地域固有識別情報36を使用することなく、特定地域固有識別情報35でデータ通信及び音声通信並びにSMS通信を行うことができるうえ、適合地域固有識別情報20を携帯電話機1から取外して通信デバイス2に適合地域固有識別情報36として装着しなくてもよい。   In the embodiment for carrying out the invention, even if the roaming procedure to the area where the communication method for the mobile phone 1 is different is completed, the communication method of the mobile phone 1 is different from the communication method of the region where the communication method is different. Although the case where the mobile phone 1 cannot be used in an area with a different communication method has been described, the roaming procedure for the mobile phone 1 to an area with a different communication method has been completed, and the communication method of the mobile phone 1 has a different communication method. Even if it is compatible with other communication systems and can be used in areas with different communication systems, the specific identification information 36 for compatible areas is used to reduce the cost of calls and communications and to find a comfortable communication environment. Without being performed, data communication, voice communication, and SMS communication can be performed with the specific region specific identification information 35, and the suitable region specific identification information 20 Remove from the mobile phone 1 to the communication device 2 need not be attached as adapted region-specific identification information 36.

例えば、携帯電話機1から通信方式の異なる地域に在圏する携帯電話機に音声通信する場合、携帯電話機1の利用者は、携帯電話機1の入力部17に対し、通信方式の異なる地域に在圏する携帯電話機の通信方式の異なる地域で使用される電話番号を入力する。入力部17に入力された電話番号は、近距離無線通信部11から近距離無線通信部31に送信される。通信デバイス2の制御部34は、特定地域固有識別情報35を発信元とし、近距離無線通信部31が受信した電話番号を送信先として無線通信部30に送信する。無線通信部30は特定地域固有識別情報35を発信元とし、近距離無線通信部31が受信した電話番号を送信先として基地局3に送信する。基地局3は通信網4やインターネット5を介して送信先を特定して携帯電話機1と通信方式の異なる地域に在圏する携帯電話機とを通信接続する。このように、携帯電話機1から通信方式の異なる地域に在圏する携帯電話機と通信する場合、携帯電話機1が通信方式の異なる地域で使用可能であっても、携帯電話機1を通信方式の異なる地域へのローミングの機能を使用して通信方式の異なる地域に在圏する携帯電話機と通信する場合に比べて通信費用が安くなる。   For example, when voice communication is performed from the mobile phone 1 to a mobile phone located in an area with a different communication method, the user of the mobile phone 1 is located in an area with a different communication method with respect to the input unit 17 of the mobile phone 1. Enter a phone number to be used in an area with a different mobile phone communication method. The telephone number input to the input unit 17 is transmitted from the short-range wireless communication unit 11 to the short-range wireless communication unit 31. The control unit 34 of the communication device 2 transmits the specific area unique identification information 35 to the wireless communication unit 30 using the telephone number received by the short-range wireless communication unit 31 as a transmission destination. The wireless communication unit 30 transmits the specific area unique identification information 35 to the base station 3 using the telephone number received by the short-range wireless communication unit 31 as a transmission destination. The base station 3 specifies a transmission destination via the communication network 4 or the Internet 5 and communicatively connects the mobile phone 1 and a mobile phone located in an area having a different communication method. As described above, when the mobile phone 1 communicates with a mobile phone located in an area with a different communication method, even if the mobile phone 1 can be used in an area with a different communication method, the mobile phone 1 can be used in an area with a different communication method. Compared with the case of using a roaming function to communicate with a mobile phone located in an area with a different communication method, the communication cost is reduced.

なお、通信デバイス2の記憶部33に種々のアプリケーション、例えば、公衆トイレの場所や商店街の場所、あるいは、災害時の避難場所や緊急連絡先などを記憶設定しておけば、通信方式の適合する地域から通信方式の異なる地域への旅行の手助けになる。また、特定地域固有識別情報35を通信速度の速い5Gなどの通信方式を使用すれば、携帯電話機1の利用者が5Gの通信速度を体感することができ、通信デバイス2を貸し出す通信事業者のPRになる。   If the storage unit 33 of the communication device 2 stores and sets various applications, for example, the location of a public toilet, the location of a shopping street, the evacuation location at the time of a disaster, and an emergency contact address, the communication method is adapted. It helps to travel from different areas to different communication systems. Further, if the communication method such as 5G having a high communication speed is used for the specific area specific identification information 35, the user of the mobile phone 1 can experience the communication speed of 5G, and the communication carrier lending the communication device 2 Become PR.

以上のように、無線通信部30が基地局3と音声通信やデータ通信を送受信する場合において、特定地域固有識別情報35及び適合地域固有識別情報36の使い方には、次の2の態様が考えられる。   As described above, when the wireless communication unit 30 transmits / receives voice communication or data communication to / from the base station 3, the following two modes can be considered for using the specific area specific identification information 35 and the suitable area specific identification information 36. It is done.

1つの態様は、携帯電話機1に対する通信方式の異なる地域へのローミングの手続が完了していても、携帯電話機1の通信方式が通信方式の異なる地域の通信方式と異なるため、携帯電話機1が通信方式の異なる地域で利用できない場合であり、この場合には、特定地域固有識別情報35でデータ通信を行い、通信デバイス対向電話アプリ19が適合地域固有識別情報36で音声通信及びSMS通信を行う。SMS(英語のshort message service略号、日本語のショートメッセージサービスの略号)は、携帯電話機同士で短いテキスト文章によるメッセージを送受信するサービスである。   One aspect is that even if the procedure for roaming to an area with a different communication method for the mobile phone 1 is completed, the mobile phone 1 communicates with the mobile phone 1 because the communication method of the mobile phone 1 is different from the communication method of an area with a different communication method. In this case, data communication is performed using the specific area unique identification information 35, and the communication device opposing phone application 19 performs voice communication and SMS communication using the compatible area unique identification information 36. SMS (English short message service abbreviation, Japanese short message service abbreviation) is a service for sending and receiving messages in short text sentences between mobile phones.

もう1つの態様は、携帯電話機1に対する通信方式の異なる地域へのローミングの手続が完了していて、携帯電話機1の通信方式が通信方式の異なる地域の通信方式に適合していて通信方式の異なる地域で使用可能である場合であっても、通話及び通信の料金の節約並びに快適な通信環境を求める場合には、適合地域固有識別情報36を使用することなく、特定地域固有識別情報35でデータ通信及び音声通信並びにSMS通信を行かつ緊急呼発呼及び緊急速報メールの受信を行う。   In another aspect, the procedure for roaming to an area with a different communication method for the mobile phone 1 has been completed, the communication method of the mobile phone 1 is adapted to the communication method of an area with a different communication method, and the communication method is different. Even if it can be used in the area, when the demand for communication and communication charges is reduced and a comfortable communication environment is required, the specific area specific identification information 35 is used without using the compatible area specific identification information 36. Communication, voice communication and SMS communication are performed, and an emergency call and emergency early warning mail are received.

前記2つの態様のどちらを使うかは、携帯電話機1の利用者が選択する事項であり、例えば、近距離無線通信部11及び31が互いに通信可能に接続された後に、携帯電話機1の利用者が入力部17を操作して近距離無線通信部11から近距離無線通信部31を経由して制御部34に2つの態様のどちらを使うかを指示することにより、制御部34が上記指示に対応した2つの態様のどちら1つの態様を実行するように特定地域固有識別情報35及び適合地域固有識別情報36の一方を無線通信部30から基地局3の側に送信する。   Which one of the two modes is used is an item selected by the user of the mobile phone 1. For example, after the short-range wireless communication units 11 and 31 are communicably connected to each other, the user of the mobile phone 1 is used. Operates the input unit 17 and instructs the control unit 34 from the short-range wireless communication unit 11 via the short-range wireless communication unit 31 to use one of the two modes. One of the specific area specific identification information 35 and the suitable area specific identification information 36 is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 30 to the base station 3 side so as to execute any one of the two corresponding aspects.
