The mobile wireless terminal of the present invention is assumed to be a mobile phone having a wireless communication function, a mail transmission / reception function, a Web access function, and the like, and a telephone terminal used in a mobile communication system such as a PHS.

As shown in FIG. 1, a portable wireless terminal 1 is an antenna for receiving radio waves transmitted from a base station of a mobile communication system and transmitting a transmission power to a communication partner or a data transmission destination to the base station. 11 1, Radio communication unit 12 that modulates and demodulates radio waves transmitted and received by antenna 11 1, Control unit 13 that controls each unit 13, Memory unit that stores various parameters, data, application software, etc. , A display unit 15 consisting of a liquid crystal display panel for displaying the identification information of the other party at the time of incoming call ■ outgoing, character data and image data at the time of e-mail ■ web access, etc.15, outputting the other party's voice during the call Voice output section 16, Voice input section 17 for collecting user's voice, Speaker section 18 for outputting ringtone, Vibration for incoming call It has a vibration section 19 for performing an operation, an operation section 20 composed of a plurality of keys for inputting a telephone number, an e-mail text, and various settings when making a call.

In addition, the portable wireless terminal 1 includes an identification information receiving unit 21 for receiving identification information transmitted from the identification information generating device 22. Here, the identification information generating device 22 can be constituted by an RFID tag provided with a chip capable of writing and reading identification information in a non-contact manner, and the identification information receiving section 21 does not respond to this RFID tag. It can be configured with an RFID reader that reads the identification information recorded by performing contact power transmission. The user can use the identification information generator 22 composed of RFID tags as clothing or other belongings. Assuming the case of wearing, the identification information receiving unit 21 is configured to acquire the identification information stored in the identification information generating device 22. Also, the distance at which the RFID reader can read the identification information stored in the RFID tag is within about 70 cm. However, the identification information generator 22 of the present invention has a short range as in the case of using an RFID tag. It is assumed that the radio communication is used.

The control unit 13 realizes various functional units together with hardware by executing an application instead of the configuration of a microprocessor including a CPU, ROM, RAM, and various interfaces. The main ones of the various functional units realized by the control unit 13 will be described based on the functional block diagram shown in FIG.

Incoming detector 31 that detects from the radio wave received via antenna 11 and demodulated by wireless communication unit 12 whether or not it is a signal to the own terminal, own terminal detected by incoming detector 31 Incoming operation section 32, which determines whether the call to is an incoming call or an incoming mail and controls the incoming operation based on the ring tone or vibration pattern set for each caller, incoming call and telephone A call control unit 33 for controlling voice data when making outgoing calls, a mail control unit 34 for controlling sending and receiving of character string data and image data when receiving or sending mail, and a character string data and Web browser 35, which receives image data and controls the display on display unit 15, receives data for transmission from the user, and controls data transmission, and identification information receiving unit 21 Proximity status judging unit 36 that determines the proximity status based on the identification information of identification information generating device 22 received in 1, operation set based on relative distance or relative speed with identification information generating device 22 The operation mode management database 40 for storing the modes, the operation mode for selecting an appropriate operation mode by referring to the operation mode management database 40 based on the judgment result of the proximity status judgment unit 36 and changing the mode. Mode change part 37, operation mode setting reception part for accepting operation mode change from the user.Reception part 39, operation mode change part 37, when there is an operation mode change request or operation mode setting reception part 39 An operation mode setting section 38 for changing and setting the current operation mode when an operation mode setting request is received from the user via the terminal.

Radio waves received via antenna 11 are demodulated by wireless communication unit 12 It is sent to the detector 31. If the incoming call detection section 31 determines that the call is for the terminal itself, it receives an incoming call, incoming mail, or incoming call corresponding to the sender based on the operation mode set in the operation mode setting section 38. The sound or vibration pattern is output via the speaker section 18 or the vibration section 19.

In the case of an incoming call, the control is transferred to the call control unit 33, and when the user starts a call, the voice data received via the voice output unit 16 is output and the user's voice is output. Sound is collected via the voice input unit 17 and transmitted as voice data. When the user operates the operation unit 20 to input the telephone number of the call partner, the call control unit 33 makes a call to the input telephone number, and when the call partner responds, Similarly, transmission and reception control of audio data is performed.

In the case of an incoming mail, the control is transferred to the mail control unit 34, the received character string data and image data are stored in the memory unit 14, and the received data is stored in the display unit T5 according to the user's request. indicate. In addition, when the user operates the operation unit 20 to input a mail text and instructs transmission of a mail with image data attached as necessary, the mail control unit 34 transmits the mail to the specified transmission destination. Sends mail containing character string data and image data to the address.

The Web browser 35 accesses the specified URL in response to the user's request, receives the corresponding character string data or image data, and displays it on the display unit 15.

The operation mode management database 40 stores an operation mode related to an incoming operation for each sender at the time of incoming call or incoming mail according to the proximity between the identification information generating device 22 and the terminal itself. The operation mode table for associating the operation conditions with the operation conditions stored in the operation mode management database 40 can be prepared in advance by using an operation mode pattern by default. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the change input received by the user is received by the management database change receiving unit 43 and the contents of the operation mode management database 40 are updated. The operation mode management database 40 can be constructed in the memory section 14 of the terminal itself, or can be provided in an external server connectable on a network.

The proximity status determination unit 36 is based on the identification information received by the identification information reception unit 21. Then, the proximity state based on the relative distance or relative speed between the identification information generating device 22 and the terminal is acquired.

When the identification information is received from the identification information receiving unit 21 by performing non-contact power transmission to the identification information generating device 22, in proportion to the distance between the identification information generating device 22 and the portable wireless terminal 1, Since the response pulse attenuation increases, the amplitude of the response pulse becomes smaller than that of the pulse during transmission. For this reason, when the amplitude of the response pulse is larger than a predetermined value, the proximity situation determination unit 36 determines that the relative distance between the portable wireless terminal 1 and the identification information generator 22 is small. However, when the amplitude of the response pulse is smaller than a predetermined value, it can be determined that the relative distance between the portable wireless terminal 1 and the identification information generating device 22 is large.

Further, when the identification information is received from the identification information receiving unit 21 to the identification information generating device 22 by contactless power transmission, the portable wireless terminal 1 generates the identification information based on the frequency change of the response pulse. It is possible to determine whether the device 22 is approaching or distant from the device 22. When the portable wireless terminal 1 is moving with respect to the identification information generating device 22, the Doppler effect occurs in the transmitted / received pulse, and when the relative distance increases (when the relative distance is increased), the response pulse When the frequency is smaller than the frequency of the transmission pulse, and the relative distance is decreasing (when approaching each other), the frequency of the response pulse is higher than the frequency of the transmission pulse. From this, the proximity state determination unit 36 determines whether the frequency of the response pulse is lower or higher than the frequency of the transmission pulse, and thereby the identification information generator 22 and the portable wireless terminal 1 are relatively separated from each other. Or approaching.

The operation mode change unit 37 refers to the operation mode management database 40 based on the determination result of the proximity state determination unit 36, and determines the current relative distance between the portable wireless terminal 1 and the identification information generation device 22. Alternatively, select an operation mode corresponding to the relative speed.

The operation mode setting unit 38 sets the ringtone and vibration pattern for an incoming call based on the operation mode selected by the operation mode change unit 37.

The operation mode setting reception section 39 inputs a manual instruction to change the operation mode. For example, the operation information of a manner mode button for switching between a default manner mode and a normal incoming call mode is transmitted to the operation mode setting unit 38.

When the operation mode change unit 37 changes the current operation mode based on the determination result of the proximity state determination unit 36, the operation mode change unit 37 can be configured to notify the user of the operation mode change. is there. In this case, a mode change notification unit 41 for notifying the user that the operation mode is to be changed can be provided.

When the operation mode change unit 37 selects an operation mode different from the current operation mode, the operation mode change unit 37 transmits a change notification request signal for notifying the operation mode change to the mode change notification unit 41. Based on the change notification request signal, the mode change notification unit 41 outputs, for example, a character string on the display unit 15, outputs a notification sound via the speed unit 18, The mode change is notified by blinking the LED.

It is also possible to provide a mode change notification to the luzer by the mode change notification unit 41 and execute the mode change only when the user confirms this. In this case, a confirmation receiving unit 42 for receiving a confirmation instruction from the user is further provided, and a confirmation instruction input via the operation unit 20 is received and a confirmation instruction signal is sent to the operation mode change unit 37. It can be configured to transmit. The operation mode change unit 37 sends a change notification request to the mode change notification unit 41, waits for a confirmation instruction signal from the confirmation reception unit 42, and sends an operation mode change request to the operation mode setting unit 38. Can be configured to do so.

It is also possible to configure so that the identification information receiving section 21 acquires the identification information held by the identification information generating device 22 only when the user performs some operation. For example, user operation information such as operation of a key provided on the operation unit 20 or an operation button provided on the outer surface, opening of a folded mobile terminal, or extension of an antenna. An operation information acquisition unit 44 for acquiring the identification information is provided, and when the operation information acquisition unit 44 detects that a user operation has been performed, the identification information acquisition unit 21 starts the identification information acquisition processing. Configure (First embodiment)

The identification information generating device 22 can use a storage medium using a non-contact IC chip and an RFID (Radio Frequency IDentifioation) tag in which an antenna is embedded. As shown in Fig. 3, mounting devices such as safety pins and clips are provided on the RFID tag 52 in which a storage medium and an antenna are embedded in a resin plate, and a predetermined place on the user's clothes (here, Attach it to the outer surface of the breast pocket) using a fixture.

As the mobile wireless terminal 1, a mobile phone terminal 61 including an RFID reader 62 capable of reading identification information recorded on an RFID tag 52 is assumed. When the identification information stored in the RFID tag 52 is configured to be written from the mobile phone terminal 61 side, an RFID reader Z writer is used instead of the RFID reader 62.

The operation mode control of the mobile phone terminal 61 will be described based on the control flowchart of FIG.

In step S11, it is determined whether operation information has been detected. When the user performs a key operation of the mobile phone terminal 61, opens the folded mobile phone terminal, extends the antenna, or performs any other operation, the operation information acquisition unit. 4 4 detects operation information. When the operation information is obtained by the operation information obtaining unit 44, the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, reception processing of the identification information held by the HFID tag 52 is started. Here, non-contact power transmission to the RFID tag 52 is performed by the RFID reader 62, and the identification information transmitted from the RFID tag 52 is received.

In step S13, it is determined whether or not the identification information transmitted from the RFID tag 52 has been received. If the identification information from the RFID tag 52 has been received, the process proceeds to step S14. If the identification information from the RFID tag 52 has not been obtained even after the lapse of a predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S21. Transition.

In step S21, it is determined that the relative distance between the mobile phone terminal 61 and the RFID tag 52 is sufficiently large, and processing is performed when the relative distance is out of the service area. For example, since the mobile phone 61 was operated in spite of being located far away from the RFID tag 52 attached to the user's clothes, this mobile phone 61 was illegally operated. The function of the mobile phone terminal 61 can be locked when it is determined that the mobile phone terminal 61 is used. In step SI4, the proximity status between the mobile phone terminal 61 and the RFID tag 52 is determined based on the acquired identification information. The proximity state determination unit 36 compares the amplitude of the transmission pulse from the RFID reader 62 with the amplitude of the response pulse received by the RFID reader 62, and based on the amount of attenuation, compares the mobile phone terminal 61 with the RFID tag. It is possible to determine whether the distance to 52 is large or small and use this as proximity information. In addition, the proximity status determination unit 36 compares the frequency of the transmission pulse from the RFID reader 62 with the frequency of the response pulse received by the RFID reader 62, and compares the frequency of the response pulse with the mobile phone terminal 61 based on the frequency change. It is also possible to determine whether the RFID tag 52 is relatively approaching or distant, and use this as proximity information.

In step S15, the operation mode change unit 37 refers to the data stored in the operation mode management database 40, and selects an operation mode based on the determination result of the proximity state determination unit 36.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a correspondence table between the proximity state and the operation mode stored in the operation mode management database 40.

In FIG. 5, the identification information “10” and “20” are set for the two RFID tags, respectively, and the operation mode corresponding to the proximity between the portable terminal 61 and each RFID tag is set for each event. ing. For example, when it is determined that the mobile phone terminal 61 is close to the first RFID tag “10”, the setting is made so that “ringtone 1” is sounded in response to an incoming call. Conversely, if it is determined that the mobile phone terminal 61 is away from the first RFID tag "10", the incoming call is rejected. Similarly, the setting of the ring tone for the incoming mail is set according to the proximity of the mobile phone terminal 61 and the first RFID tag "10". Also, different ringtone settings can be made for a specific source. In the case of Fig. 5, a setting is made so that "Ring tone 3" is sounded for an incoming call from "Mr. A" regardless of the distance between the first RFID tag "10" and the mobile phone terminal 61. When attaching the second RFID tag “20” to a position different from the first RFID tag “Ί0”, as shown in FIG. 5, the mobile phone terminal 61 and the second RFID tag are attached. Set the operation mode corresponding to the proximity situation with "20". It is also possible to arrange three or more RFID tags having different identification information, and in such a case, the operation mode can be set according to the proximity to the mobile phone terminal 61 in each case. Ma If the identification information of all the RFID tags owned by the user cannot be read, all the functions of the mobile phone terminal 6 "I are locked as described in the description of step S21. As shown in Fig. 5, when the identification information of neither the first RFID tag "10" nor the second RFID tag "20" is obtained (if there is a third or later RFID tag) Can be included), and can be set to lock all functions.

In step S16, it is determined whether or not the operation mode selected by the operation mode changing unit 37 is different from the current operation mode. If there is an operation mode different from the currently set operation mode, the process proceeds to step S17.

In step S17, the user is notified of the operation mode change. In this case, the operation mode change unit 37 sends a change notification request signal to the mode change notification unit 41, and the display unit 15, the speaker unit 18, the vibration unit 19, and the like of the mobile phone terminal 61 are transmitted. To notify the user of the change. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when a liquid crystal panel 63 for auxiliary display is provided on the outer surface of the mobile phone terminal 61, a display indicating “change operation mode” is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 63. It can be configured to perform Further, when the LED 64 is provided on the outer surface of the mobile phone terminal 61, the LED 64 can be blinked to notify the change of the operation mode. Further, it is possible to sound a buzzer sound for notifying the operation mode change by the speaker unit 18, to activate the vibration unit 19, and to notify the operation mode change by a combination of these operations. .

In step S18, it is determined whether or not the user has issued a confirmation instruction for the operation mode change notification. After the operation mode change notification is issued, the operation mode can be automatically changed to the operation mode selected by the operation mode change unit 37.However, after the mode change notification is performed and the confirmation instruction from the user is waited, It can be configured to change the operation mode. In this case, for example, when the operation button 65 provided on the outer surface of the mobile phone terminal 61 is operated, it can be determined that the user has issued a confirmation instruction. In FIG. 3, the operation button 65 is arranged on the front of the mobile phone terminal 61, but the operation button can be provided on the side surface or the bottom surface. It is also possible to double the key. If it is determined in step S18 that a confirmation instruction has been received from the user, the process proceeds to step S19. In step S19, the mode is changed to the operation mode selected by the operation mode changing unit 37. The operation mode at the time of an incoming call set by the operation mode setting unit 38 is updated.

In step S20, the operation mode selected by the operation mode change unit 37 is discarded, and the currently set operation mode is maintained.

In such a configuration, the RFID tag 52 is attached to the clothing 51, and the user attaches the mobile phone 61 to the clothing 51 based on the proximity of the RFID tag 51 to the mobile phone 61. The operation mode can be changed by detecting that it has been removed from a pocket or that it has been turned into a pocket. Since the proximity status between the RFID tag 52 and the mobile phone terminal 61 can be automatically detected, the user does not forget to change the operation mode.

Further, when the operation mode is changed after the operation mode change notification is performed and the confirmation instruction from the user is obtained, the operation error due to the erroneous detection of the proximity state can be prevented.

[Other embodiments]

Various types of RFID tags may be used as long as they have a storage medium using a non-contact IC chip and an antenna embedded therein. For example, it can be configured so that it can be attached to a cap of a ballpoint pen owned by a user. If your company requires you to wear a name tag or ID card, you can embed an RFID tag in this name tag or ID card.

In the case of a mobile phone terminal that can emit a button confirmation sound via the speed force section 18 each time a key that composes the operation section 20 is pressed, this button confirmation is performed according to the distance from the RFID tag. It is possible to switch sound on / off. Similarly, if it is possible to generate an opening / closing sound via the speaker unit 18 when the folded mobile phone terminal is opened / closed, the opening / closing sound is switched on / off according to the distance from the RFID tag. It is possible. Furthermore, if it is possible to sound a call confirmation tone via the speaker unit 18 when sending an e-mail, the on / off of the call confirmation tone is switched according to the distance from the RFID tag. It is possible to do. In addition, ringtones, button confirmation sounds, and other sounds output through the speaker section 18 are controlled not only on / off according to the distance to the RFID tag, but also for controlling the volume level. It is also possible to configure. Similarly, in the case of a mobile phone terminal capable of making a loudspeaker call that outputs the other party's voice via the speed output section 18, the configuration is such that the polynomial is changed according to the distance from the RF ID tag. It is also possible to
