Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrict only call transmission attended with a voice speech if a high speed mobile means of a mobile terminal is a public transportation facility and to restrict all call transmission when a high speed mobility means of the mobile terminal is other than the public transportation facility. SOLUTION: A mobile terminal receives a radio signal transmitted from each space mode switching signal transmitter installed at each entrance and each exit of a public transportation facility so as to select a space mode denoting whether or not a user of the mobile terminal uses the public transportation facility to be 'in public zone' or 'outside of public zone', and selects a mobile denoting a mobile speed of the user of the mobile terminal to be 'high-speed' or 'low speed' by detecting the mobile speed and comparing it with a predetermined speed threshold. Then if the 'in public zone' and the 'high-speed' modes are selected depending on the combination of the space mode and the mobile mode, only a call associated with a speech is restricted and if the 'outside of public zone' and the 'high-speed' modes are selected, all call transmission is restricted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technology for restricting calls during high-speed movement in a mobile communication system, and more particularly, to high-speed movement using public transportation by determining a high-speed moving means of a mobile terminal. Occasionally, a method of restricting calls during high-speed movement, which restricts only voice calls and permits outgoing calls by data communication, and allows all calls to be restricted when moving at high speeds other than public transportation For mobile terminals.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, various outgoing / incoming call control methods for a mobile terminal moving at high speed have been proposed.

[0003] These outgoing / incoming call restricting methods detect whether or not a mobile terminal is moving at high speed, and when the mobile terminal is moving at high speed, restrict the outgoing / incoming call of the mobile terminal to thereby prevent the mobile terminal from moving. It is intended to prevent traffic accidents due to the use of terminals and to prevent unwanted calls to nearby passengers on the train.

[0004] Regarding the restriction on outgoing / incoming calls during high-speed movement,
For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-327664, a fading pitch is detected from reception level information of a mobile phone to recognize whether the mobile phone is in a running state or a stopped state, and based on the recognition result, the mobile phone is determined. A technology that can automatically regulate incoming calls to a telephone has been proposed.

[0005] For example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-336741.
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H10-260, the mobile phone body detects the moving speed by measuring the number of fadings, and when it is recognized that the mobile phone is moving at high speed, the mode is switched to an automatic incoming call answering mode, and even if the user does not answer, A technique has been proposed in which a message indicating that the message is transmitted to a caller, the contents of the caller's response can be stored in a memory, and incoming calls to a mobile phone moving at high speed can be restricted.

[0006] For example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 7-245782, when a user gets on a train, a mobile radio device carried by the user is provided with a mode switching signal transmission device installed at a ticket gate in a station. A technique has been proposed in which, when a mode switching signal being transmitted is received, the mode is switched to a pager mode, and voice communication is regulated.

[0007] For example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-322747.
In the official gazette, when a user gets on a train, a wireless terminal carried by the user receives a position control signal from a specific wireless base station installed at a ticket gate in a station yard, and then changes from a normal operation mode. A technique has been proposed in which an operation mode is switched to a specific space mode (high-speed movement mode) to control outgoing / incoming calls. According to the present technology, when a wireless terminal receives a wireless signal including specific spatial information, it recognizes that it has entered a specific space, and switches the operation mode to the specific spatial mode. In the specific space mode, the communication mode is switched to a communication mode other than the voice communication, so that the wireless terminal does not receive a call using the voice service. In addition, in the specific space mode, transmission of wireless signals is stopped, so that wireless terminals cannot communicate with the wireless base station. This is a mobile communication system that can prevent giving of

[0008]

While a mobile terminal user is driving a car, the operation of the mobile terminal or a call may distract the user and cause a serious accident. Therefore, it is desirable to restrict all outgoing / incoming calls and prohibit all operations of the mobile terminal while moving at high speed in a car.

[0009] When a mobile terminal user uses public transportation such as a train or a bus, annoying calls to nearby passengers due to voice calls during boarding have become a problem. for that reason,
If the mobile terminal user uses public transportation such as a train or bus, restrict only outgoing calls with voice while riding,
It is desirable that data communication while moving, which is one of the advantages of the mobile terminal, is enabled.

However, the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-32
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7464 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-336641, it is stated that incoming calls during high-speed movement can be regulated.
A calling operation can be performed when the mobile terminal user is moving at high speed in a car, which involves a risk of a traffic accident.

In the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-322747, control is performed so as to stop all transmission of radio signals in a specific space. , You will not be able to make voice calls. According to the technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-245782, the mode is switched to the pager mode when passing through a ticket gate or the like in a station yard.
Similarly to the technology described in the official gazette, voice communication cannot be performed even when the user is at a platform or the like of a station other than while riding.

Further, in both the technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-322747 and the technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-245782, when traveling at high speed by public transportation such as a train or a bus, Calls without voice, such as data communication that does not bother passengers, are restricted.

[0013] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems by recognizing high-speed moving means of a mobile terminal and, when the high-speed moving means is a public transportation, restricts only outgoing calls accompanied by voice calls. (The transmission without voice call is not restricted), and when the high-speed transportation means is not a public transportation, it is possible to control to restrict all the transmission.

[0014]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a mobile terminal used in a mobile communication system transmits a spatial mode switching signal provided at each entrance of public transportation. The mobile terminal determines whether or not the mobile terminal user is using public transportation based on a radio signal transmitted from the mobile terminal, detects the mobile terminal user's travel speed, and determines the detected travel speed to be a predetermined speed threshold. If the mobile terminal user is using public transportation, and if the moving speed of the mobile terminal user exceeds the speed threshold, restricting only the transmission with voice,
When the mobile terminal user does not use public transportation and the moving speed of the mobile terminal user exceeds a speed threshold, all outgoing calls are restricted.

That is, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a mobile terminal used in a mobile communication system, which is transmitted from a spatial mode switching signal transmitter installed at an entrance of public transportation. When a wireless signal is received, the space mode indicating whether the mobile terminal user is using public transportation is set to “public area” indicating that the mobile terminal user is using it, and installed at the exit of public transportation. Means for setting the spatial mode to “outside the public sphere” indicating that the spatial mode is not used, when a radio signal transmitted from the spatial mode switching signal transmitter is received, and at a predetermined cycle,
Means for detecting the moving speed of the mobile terminal user, and, if the detected moving speed exceeds a predetermined speed threshold, indicating that the mobile terminal user is performing a moving mode indicating whether or not the mobile terminal user is moving at high speed. Means for setting the moving mode to "low speed" indicating that the moving mode is not performed when the detected moving speed does not exceed a predetermined speed threshold; Within "
When the travel mode is “high speed”, only outgoing calls with voice are restricted, and when the spatial mode is “out of public area” and the travel mode is “high speed”, all outgoing calls are restricted. And a mobile terminal.

[0016] According to the present invention, a mobile terminal user can use a data communication system that does not disturb surrounding passengers, even if voice calls that disturb surrounding passengers are restricted when using public transportation. It is possible to do. Specifically, when the mobile terminal user is on a train, the space mode is “public area” and the travel mode is “high speed”.
As a result, transmission with voice is restricted, but transmission is not restricted for data communication, which solves the problem that data communication cannot be performed as in the related art.

Further, according to the present invention, even if a mobile terminal user uses public transportation, if he does not move at high speed, voice communication and data communication can be performed without restriction. . Specifically, when the mobile terminal user is at a station platform or the like, the spatial mode is “public area”, but the mobile mode is “low speed”.
The problem that calling is not regulated and voice communication cannot be performed unlike the related art is solved.

[0018]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(First Embodiment) First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The mobile terminal according to the first embodiment has a "spatial mode" for determining the means of travel of the mobile terminal user. In the following, the spatial mode is described separately for “public area” and “outside public area”. “Public area” is a spatial mode indicating that the mobile terminal user uses public transportation, and “out of public area” is another spatial mode.

Further, the mobile terminal according to the first embodiment comprises:
It has a "movement mode" for determining the movement speed of the mobile terminal user. In the following, the movement modes are described separately for “high speed” and “low speed”. "high speed"
Is a movement mode indicating that the moving speed is higher than a predetermined speed threshold, and "low speed" is a moving mode indicating that the moving speed is lower than a predetermined speed threshold.

FIG. 1 shows the transmission restriction conditions of the mobile terminal according to the first embodiment.

As described above, the mobile terminal according to the first embodiment has the spatial mode and the mobile mode, and a value indicating each mode is set.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the first embodiment,
If the spatial mode is “public area” and the travel mode is “high speed”, that is, if the mobile terminal user is moving at high speed using public transportation, only calls with voice are restricted. It is supposed to.

Also, as shown in FIG. 1, in the first embodiment, when the spatial mode is “out of public sphere” and the travel mode is “high speed”, When a high-speed movement is performed using the moving means, all outgoing calls are restricted.

Also, as shown in FIG. 1, in the first embodiment, if the mobile mode is “slow” regardless of the spatial mode, that is, if the mobile terminal user is not moving at high speed, the call is transmitted. Is not regulated.

As described above, the first embodiment controls transmission restriction in accordance with the spatial mode and the mobile mode of the mobile terminal.

FIG. 2 shows a system near a station ticket gate and a railway line as an example of a public transportation system for realizing the transmission restriction method according to the first embodiment, and a movement mode of a mobile terminal according to the first embodiment. , A spatial mode, and a transmission restriction state.

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 2, the state of the transmission restriction according to the first embodiment when the mobile terminal user actually uses the public transportation (train as an example) while carrying the mobile terminal. Will be described.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 101 denotes a mobile terminal;
Is a mobile terminal user, 103 is a spatial mode switching signal transmitter, 104 is a spatial mode switching signal receiving zone, 105 is an automatic ticket gate, 106 is a train, 107 is a station platform, 10
8 is a car.

The spatial mode switching signal transmitter 103 is installed at each of the entrances and exits of public transportation (here, ticket gates at stations), and outputs a spatial mode switching signal for switching the spatial mode of the mobile terminal 101. We always send.

The spatial mode switching signal includes an entrance signal for notifying that it is an entrance of a public transport system and an exit signal for notifying that it is an exit. The mode is switched from “out of the public sphere” to “out of the public sphere”, and when the exit signal is received, the spatial mode is switched from “the public sphere” to “out of the public sphere”.

The spatial mode switching signal receiving zone 104 includes:
This is the range in which the mobile terminal 101 can receive the spatial mode switching signal. It is not necessary to cover a wide area as in a general wireless base station, but it is only necessary to cover only the vicinity of a ticket gate of a station.

As shown in FIG. 2, when a mobile terminal user 102 carrying a mobile terminal 101 passes through an automatic ticket gate 105 on the entrance side of the station premises to get on a train 106,
The mobile terminal 101 receives an entrance signal transmitted from the spatial mode switching signal transmitter 103.

Upon receiving the entrance signal, the mobile terminal 101 switches its own space mode to "public area" indicating that the mobile terminal 101 is traveling using public transportation.

When the mobile terminal user 102 is
5, while walking to the platform 107 or waiting for the train 106 at the platform 107, the mobile terminal 1
Although the spatial mode of 01 is set to “public area”,
Since the movement mode remains "low speed" and does not change, as shown at 201, the transmission is not restricted.

Thus, when the user is not moving at high speed even when using public transportation, such as when the user is at the platform 107 of a station, calling is not restricted, and both voice communication and data communication become possible. .

As shown in FIG. 2, when the mobile terminal user 102 gets on the train 106 and the train 106 departs and starts moving at high speed, the moving mode of the mobile terminal 101 is switched from “low speed” to “high speed”. Take the place.

Here, since the spatial mode of the mobile terminal 101 is in the “public area”, the mobile terminal 101 determines the public transportation mode based on the combination of the spatial mode (“public area”) and the mobile mode (“high speed”). It is determined that the user is moving at a high speed by using, and as shown at 202, only outgoing calls with voice are restricted and outgoing calls without voice are not restricted.

At this time, if the mobile terminal user 102 is making a voice call, the mobile terminal 101 issues a warning to disconnect the voice call during the call, and then switches the voice call during the call. Disconnect, then restrict only outgoing calls with voice, not outgoing calls without voice. At this time, when the mobile terminal user 102 is performing data communication, the mobile terminal 101 does not disconnect the data call.

Thus, when high-speed traveling is started using public transportation, voice communication that causes annoying surroundings becomes impossible, and data communication that does not cause annoying surroundings becomes possible.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the mobile terminal user 102 arrives at the destination station and gets off the train 106,
The movement mode of the mobile terminal 101 switches from “high speed” to “low speed”.

At this time, regardless of the spatial mode, the mobile terminal 101 releases all outgoing call restrictions, and as shown at 203, no outgoing call is restricted.

Thus, when the user is not moving at high speed even when using public transportation, such as when getting off the train 106 and staying at the platform 107 of the station, outgoing calls are not restricted, and voice calls are not Communication is also possible.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the mobile terminal user 102 passes through the automatic ticket gate 105 on the exit side of the station premises to leave the station premises, the mobile terminal 101
An exit signal transmitted from the spatial mode switching signal transmitter 103 is received.

Upon receiving the exit signal, the mobile terminal 101 switches its own space mode to "out of public sphere" indicating that the mobile terminal 101 is moving using a means of transportation other than public transportation.

Here, for example, the mobile terminal user 102
Is a means of transportation other than public transportation (for example, car 1
08), a description will be given of the state of transmission restriction according to the first embodiment when moving at high speed.

After the mobile terminal user 102 leaves the station premises, changes to the car 108 and starts moving at high speed, the moving mode of the mobile terminal 101 switches from "low speed" to "high speed".

Here, since the spatial mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “outside the public sphere”, the mobile terminal 101 determines whether the public mode of the public transportation It is determined that the user is moving at high speed by using other means of transportation, and as indicated by 204, all outgoing calls are restricted.

At this time, if the mobile terminal user 102 is performing a voice call or data communication, the mobile terminal 101 issues a warning to disconnect the voice call or data call during the call, Disconnect the active voice or data call and then bar all outgoing calls.

When the mobile terminal user 102 arrives at the destination and stops the automobile 108, the moving mode of the mobile terminal 101 is switched from "high speed" to "low speed".

At this time, the mobile terminal 101 releases all outgoing call restrictions regardless of the spatial mode, and the outgoing call is no longer restricted.

Thus, when high-speed movement is started using a means of transportation other than public transportation such as the automobile 108, neither voice communication nor data communication is possible.

As described with reference to FIG. 2, in the first embodiment, mobile terminal 101 changes the transmission restriction state as shown in FIG. 1 according to the combination of the spatial mode and the mobile mode. I try to make it.

That is, when the mobile terminal 101 travels at high speed using public transportation, it restricts only transmission with voice, enables only data communication without voice, and uses a means of transportation other than public transportation. When you move at high speed, all outgoing calls are regulated. Even if public transportation is used, voice communication and data communication are possible if high-speed movement is not started.

Although FIG. 2 shows an example in which the spatial mode switching signal transmitter 103 is installed at the ticket gate of the station, the existing automatic ticket gate 105 is provided with the spatial mode switching signal transmitter 10.
It is also possible to provide the third function.

When the mobile terminal user 102 uses the train 106, he / she must use the automatic ticket gate 10 when entering or leaving the station.
Pass 5 The automatic ticket gate 105 is the mobile terminal user 1
It is possible to recognize whether the mobile terminal user 102 enters or leaves the station yard from the direction of the ticket or commuter pass inserted by 02.

Therefore, the automatic ticket gate 105 is provided with a function of a spatial mode switching signal transmitter 103 to transmit an entrance signal when the mobile terminal user 102 enters, and to output an exit signal when leaving the mobile terminal user 102. Make outgoing calls. Mobile terminal 1
01 may switch the spatial mode from “out of the public sphere” to “out of the public sphere” when receiving the entrance signal, and may switch the spatial mode from “out of the public sphere” to the spatial mode when receiving the exit signal.

As described above, the function of the mode switching signal transmitter 103 is provided in the automatic ticket gate 105 so that the mobile terminal user 10
By transmitting different types of spatial mode switching signals depending on the direction of insertion of a ticket or commuter pass inserted by the station 2, the automatic ticket gate 1 does not divide the ticket gate of the station into an entrance and an exit.
05 can be shared.

In FIG. 2, an example has been described in which two types of spatial mode switching signals, an entrance signal and an exit signal, are used. However, one type of spatial mode switching signal may be used.

When one type of spatial mode switching signal is used, when receiving the spatial mode switching signal, the mobile terminal 101 monitors the reception state for a certain period of time, and the spatial mode switching signal is not received. Mobile terminal user 102 receives spatial mode switching signal receiving area 104
Is determined to have passed.

At this time, if the current spatial mode is “outside the public sphere”, the mobile terminal 101 determines that the vehicle has passed the entrance of the public transport, and changes the spatial mode from “outside the public sphere” to “out of public sphere”. Switch to "public area". Conversely, if the current space mode is "public area", it is determined that the vehicle has passed the exit of public transportation, and the space mode is switched from "public area" to "outside public area".

As described above, by switching the spatial mode of the mobile terminal 101 using one type of spatial mode switching signal, only one type of mode switching signal transmitter 103 needs to be installed. It can be realized with little capital investment.

Further, in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal user 102
However, the example in which the train 106 is used as public transportation has been described. However, in the case of using a bus, transmission control can be similarly performed.

That is, a spatial mode switching signal transmitter 103 for transmitting an entrance signal is installed at the entrance of a bus, and a spatial mode switching signal transmitter 103 for transmitting an exit signal at the exit of the bus. Then, mobile terminal user 1
When the 02 moves at high speed by bus, voice communication that causes annoying surroundings becomes impossible, and data communication that does not cause annoying surroundings becomes possible.

Next, the configuration and operation of the mobile terminal 101 for realizing the above-mentioned call regulation will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 3 shows a mobile terminal 1 according to the first embodiment.

And a control unit 313 for controlling them, and an antenna 301
It is comprised including.

Here, the moving speed detecting unit 312 detects the moving speed of the mobile terminal 101 at regular intervals using a clock or the like. The method of detecting the moving speed is a known fact,
For example, the moving speed can be detected by measuring the number of fadings.

Further, moving speed detecting section 312 compares the detected moving speed with a preset speed threshold to determine the moving mode of mobile terminal 101. What is travel mode?
This is set according to the moving speed detected at a constant cycle, and as described above, there are “high speed” and “low speed”. As a threshold value used as a reference when determining the movement mode,
A speed threshold is provided. If the moving speed is higher than the speed threshold, the speed is set to “high speed”. If the moving speed is lower than the speed threshold, the speed is set to “low speed”.

This speed threshold may be changeable by the operation of the mobile terminal user 102. However, the mobile terminal user 102 intentionally increases the speed threshold to increase the “low speed” range. In order to prevent the user from trying to escape from the transmission restriction, it is preferable that the value can be changed below a certain upper limit.

The specific speed threshold (or the upper limit of the speed threshold) can be set to 15 km / h.

The storage unit 305 has a storage area shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the storage area.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 401 denotes a spatial mode storage area, 402 denotes a movement mode storage area, and 403 denotes a regular detection mode storage area.

The space mode storage area 401 is an area for storing the space mode of the mobile terminal 101, and the movement mode storage area 402 is an area for storing the movement mode of the mobile terminal 101. The mode storage area 403 is an area for storing the movement mode determined when the movement speed is detected at a constant cycle.

The space mode is set to determine the means of travel of the mobile terminal user 102, and includes the “public area” and the “outside public area” as described above.

The moving mode is set to determine the moving speed of the mobile terminal user 102. As described above, there are “high speed” and “low speed”.

As a storage method of each of the storage areas 401 to 403, for example, there is a method of setting a flag.

Specifically, the flag is set to “1” when the space mode is “public area”, and is set to “0” when the space mode is “outside public area”, and is set in the space mode storage area 401. When the moving mode is “high speed”, the flag is set to “1”, and when the moving mode is “low speed”, the flag is set to “0”.
Move mode storage area 402 / periodic detection Move mode storage area 403 is set.

Next, a data processing route in the mobile terminal 101 will be described.

First, when the mobile terminal user 102 makes a call with voice, the mobile terminal 101
03 and the voice conversion processing unit 307 to establish a voice data processing route.

According to the established processing route, the microphone 3
08, the voice data of the mobile terminal user 102 is input by the voice conversion processing unit 307 to an analog / digital (A
/ D) After the conversion, the modulated /
The signal is transmitted to the demodulation unit 303, modulated by the modulation / demodulation unit 303, transmitted to the radio signal transmission / reception unit 302, and transmitted from the radio signal transmission / reception unit 302 to the radio base station via the antenna 301.

Conversely, when the voice data of the other party is received by the radio signal transmitting / receiving section 302 via the antenna 301, it is transmitted to the modulation / demodulation section 303, and the modulation / demodulation section 30
After being demodulated at step 3, the signal is transmitted to the audio conversion processing unit 307 via the selector 304, is subjected to digital / analog (D / A) conversion at the audio conversion processing unit 307, and is output from the speaker 309 as audible data. It will be.

As described above, by establishing a processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307, voice data to be transmitted and received can be processed. When making outgoing calls, a voice call becomes possible.

On the other hand, the mobile terminal user 102
When data communication is performed using the external device connected to the mobile terminal 1, the mobile terminal 1 is connected when the connection is requested from the external device.
01 recognizes that data communication is performed. Therefore, the mobile terminal 101 connects between the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the external terminal 306, and establishes a processing route for communication data (digital data).

Digital data input from the external device is transmitted to the modulation / demodulation unit 303 via the selector 304 via the established processing route, and is modulated by the modulation / demodulation unit 303. And transmitted from the radio signal transmitting / receiving unit 302 to the radio base station via the antenna 301.

Conversely, digital data received by radio signal transmitting / receiving section 302 via antenna 301 is modulated / modulated.
After being transmitted to the demodulation unit 303 and demodulated by the modulation / demodulation unit 303, it is output to an external device via the selector 304 and the external terminal 306.

As described above, by establishing a processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the external terminal 306, digital data to be transmitted and received can be processed. When data communication is performed using an external device connected to the device, data communication becomes possible.

When the mobile terminal user 102 operates the keypad 311 to perform data communication using only the mobile terminal 101, the mobile terminal 101 operates by operating the keypad 311 by the mobile terminal user 102. Since an instruction to switch to the mode for performing data communication is issued, it is possible to recognize that data communication is performed using only mobile terminal 101.

Therefore, mobile terminal 101 stores the digital data input from keypad 311 by the subsequent operation of mobile terminal user 102 in storage unit 305 and displays it on display 310 as visible data.

Subsequently, when the mobile terminal user 102 performs a calling operation, the digital data stored in the storage unit 305 is transmitted to the modulation / demodulation unit 303, and thereafter, the data communication using an external device is performed. Similarly, after being modulated by the modulation / demodulation unit 303, it is transmitted to the radio signal transmission / reception unit 302, and transmitted from the radio signal transmission / reception unit 302 to the radio base station via the antenna 301.

Conversely, digital data received by radio signal transmitting / receiving section 302 via antenna 301 is modulated / modulated.
After being transmitted to the demodulation unit 303 and demodulated by the modulation / demodulation unit 303, it is stored in the storage unit 305 and displayed on the display 310 as visible data.

As described above, when an external device is not connected, digital data to be transmitted and received is stored in the storage unit 30.
5 and the modulation / demodulation unit 303 allow data communication using only the mobile terminal 101.

The processing route for performing a voice call and the processing route for performing data communication have been described above. However, in the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 101 sets these processing routes in the spatial mode and the mobile mode. By controlling the selector 304 in accordance with the combination of the above, it is possible to realize the transmission restriction of the mobile terminal 101.

That is, under the control of the selector 304,
If the processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307 is cut off, voice data will not be transmitted, so that voice calls can be disabled.

When the processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the external terminal 306 is cut off under the control of the selector 304, digital data is not transmitted, so that data communication using an external device is disabled. can do.

Further, if the visual display of digital data input from the keypad 311 and stored in the storage unit 305 by the operation of the mobile terminal user 102 on the display 310 is suppressed, data communication using only the mobile terminal 101 is possible. Can be disabled.

Therefore, when the space mode is “public area” and the travel mode is “high speed”, the mobile terminal 101 determines that the mobile terminal 101 is traveling at high speed using public transportation. Modulation / demodulation unit 303 and voice conversion processing unit 307
By interrupting the processing route connecting between and, it is possible to restrict only outgoing calls with voice and not to restrict outgoing calls without voice.

When the space mode is “out of public sphere” and the movement mode is “high speed”, the mobile terminal 101 performs high speed movement using a means of transportation other than public transportation. Therefore, in addition to blocking the processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307, the processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the external terminal 306 is blocked. Thus, all outgoing calls can be controlled. The mobile terminal 101
At this time, the visual display on the display 310 of the digital data input from the keypad 311 and stored in the storage unit 305 by the operation of the mobile terminal user 102 is further suppressed.

Hereinafter, the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
1 will be described.

First, spatial mode switching processing by mobile terminal 101 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, mobile terminal 101 constantly monitors whether or not a radio signal has been received by radio signal transmitting / receiving section 302, and upon receiving a radio signal (step 5).
01), the type of the received signal is determined (step 50)
2).

If the received signal is other than the spatial mode switching signal (step 502), the mobile terminal 101 performs processing for each radio signal (step 505), and if the received signal is a spatial mode switching signal (step 502). Step 50
2) Further, the type of the spatial mode switching signal is determined (step 503).

If the received spatial mode switching signal is an entrance signal (step 503), mobile terminal 101 switches the spatial mode from “out of public area” to “public area” (step 504), and receives the spatial mode switching signal. If the signal is an exit signal (step 503), the spatial mode is switched from "public area" to "out of public area" (step 50).
6).

By setting the space mode in the space mode switching process shown in FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not the mobile terminal user 102 uses public transportation as a means of transportation.
The mobile terminal 101 can determine itself. Next, the mobile mode setting process and the transmission restriction process by the mobile terminal 101 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, the moving terminal 101 detects the moving speed of the mobile terminal 101 at a constant period using a clock or the like by the moving speed detector 312 (step 601).

Subsequently, the mobile terminal 101 compares the detected moving speed with a predetermined speed threshold to determine the moving mode (step 602). If the moving speed is higher than the speed threshold, it is determined to be “high”, and if the moving speed is lower than the speed threshold, it is determined to be “low”.

Here, the case where the movement mode determined in step 602 is “high speed” will be described first.

If the moving mode determined in step 602 is “high speed”, the mobile terminal 101
"High speed" in the periodic detection movement mode storage area 403
Is set (step 603), and the current mobile mode of the mobile terminal 101 (the mobile mode set in the mobile mode storage area 402 of the storage unit 305) is determined (step 604).

When the moving mode of the current mobile terminal 101 is “low speed”, it means that the mobile terminal user 102 has started moving at high speed from a state where it has been stopped or moving at low speed. Therefore, the mobile terminal 101 switches the current movement mode of the mobile terminal 101 from “low speed” to “high speed” (step 605).

Subsequently, the mobile terminal 101 stores in the storage unit 305
With reference to the spatial mode storage area 401 of the mobile terminal 10.
One spatial mode is determined (step 606).

If the spatial mode is “public area” (step 606), the mobile terminal 101 determines whether the mobile terminal user 102 is in the public area based on the combination of the spatial mode (“public area”) and the mobile mode (“high speed”). Judge that you are traveling at high speed using transportation.

If there is a call in progress (step 607), the mobile terminal 101 determines the type of the call (step 608), and if the call is a voice call, the mobile terminal user 102 Means that you are on a call, so you'll soon be unable to make calls. Please hang up the phone. Is output from the speaker 309 to notify the mobile terminal user 102 that the voice call during the call is to be disconnected (step 60).
9). Then, after waiting for a predetermined time to elapse (step 610), the current call is disconnected (step 611).

Here, the voice call is not immediately cut off but is cut off after a predetermined time has elapsed, so that the mobile terminal user 1
02 can inform the other party that the call will be disconnected.

Subsequently, when there is no call in progress, the mobile terminal 101 controls the selector 304 to cut off a processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307. Then, only outgoing calls with voice are restricted (step 612).

[0118] Further, the mobile terminal 101 executes step 608.
If it is determined that the data call is a data call in the determination of the type of the telephone call in the above, it means that the mobile terminal user 102 is performing data communication, so the telephone call is not disconnected,
Proceeding to step 612, the selector 304 is controlled to cut off the processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307, thereby restricting only the transmission with voice.

At this time, since the processing route between the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the external terminal 306 has been established, or the connection between the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the storage unit 305 has been established, the mobile terminal The user 102 can continue data communication.

[0120] Further, the mobile terminal 101 executes step 607.
If it is determined that there is no telephone call in the determination of the presence or absence of a telephone call in step (a), the process proceeds to step 612, where the selector 304 is controlled to control the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307.
By interrupting the processing route connecting between and, only outgoing calls with voice are restricted.

By the processing of step 612, the microphone 30
8 and A / D converted by the voice conversion processing unit 307 are not transmitted to the modulation / demodulation unit 303.
Further, since the voice data of the other party is not transmitted from the modulation / demodulation unit 303 to the voice conversion processing unit 307, the voice data is not output to the speaker 309, and the voice call is disabled.

The external terminal 306 and the modulation / demodulation unit 30
3, and the digital data input from the keypad 311 and the received digital data by the operation of the mobile terminal user 102 are stored in the storage unit 305. Since data is displayed on the display 310, data communication other than voice communication is possible.

On the other hand, the mobile terminal 101 determines in step 606
When the spatial mode is determined to be “out of the public sphere” in the determination of the spatial mode in, the mobile terminal user 102 determines whether the public terminal is in the public transportation mode based on the combination of the spatial mode (“out of the public sphere”) and the travel mode (“high speed”). It is determined that the vehicle is moving at high speed using a means of transportation other than the institution.

Therefore, if there is a call during a call (step 613), the mobile terminal 101 transmits to the mobile terminal user 102
Means that you are on a call or a data call. Please hang up the phone. Is output from the speaker 309 to notify the mobile terminal user 102 that the voice call in progress or the data call in progress is to be disconnected (step 614). When the spatial mode is "out of public area", both voice communication and data communication are restricted, so that a predetermined time elapses regardless of voice call or data call (step 615). The middle call is disconnected (step 616).

Here, the voice call or the data call is not immediately cut off, but is cut off after a predetermined time elapses, so that the mobile terminal user 102 can notify the other party that the call will be cut off, Data during data communication can be saved.

Subsequently, when there are no more calls in progress, the mobile terminal 101 controls the selector 304 to connect the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307 with a processing route and a modulation / demodulation unit. A route connecting the demodulation unit 303 and the external terminal 306 is cut off, and digital data input from the keypad 311 and stored in the storage unit 305 by operation of the mobile terminal user 102 is visually displayed on the display 310. , All the transmissions are restricted (step 617).

Further, the mobile terminal 101 executes the step 613.
When it is determined that there is no telephone call in the determination of the presence or absence of the telephone call in step (a), the process proceeds to step 617, where the selector 304 is controlled to control the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307.
And a processing route connecting between the control unit and the modulation / demodulation unit 3
In addition to blocking the route connecting between the external terminal 03 and the external terminal 306, the display of the digital data input from the keypad 311 and stored in the storage unit 305 by the operation of the mobile terminal user 102 on the display 310 is suppressed. By doing so, all outgoing calls are regulated.

By the processing in step 617, the microphone 30
8 and A / D converted by the voice conversion processing unit 307 are not transmitted to the modulation / demodulation unit 303.
Further, since the voice data of the other party is not transmitted from the modulation / demodulation unit 303 to the voice conversion processing unit 307, the voice data is not output to the speaker 309, and the voice call is disabled.

Further, the digital data input via external terminal 306 is not transmitted to modulation / demodulation section 303, and the received digital data is also transmitted from modulation / demodulation section 303 to external device via external terminal 306. , And data communication using the external terminal 306 becomes impossible. Also, the digital data input from the keypad 311 and stored in the storage unit 305 by the operation of the mobile terminal user 102, and the modulation / demodulation unit 303 after reception.
Since the digital data demodulated in the above and stored in the storage unit 305 is not displayed on the display 310, data communication using only the mobile terminal 101 becomes impossible.

[0130] The mobile terminal 101 determines in step 604
In the determination of the movement mode (the movement mode of the current mobile terminal 101) in, when it is determined that the current movement mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “low speed”, nothing is performed, and the state of the transmission restriction is not changed.

That is, while the mobile terminal user 102 continues to move at high speed, the moving mode of the mobile terminal 101 remains “high speed”, and the mobile terminal 101 repeats the detection of the moving speed at regular intervals. Therefore, the state of the transmission restriction can be maintained.

Next, a case where the movement mode determined in step 602 is “low speed” will be described.

If the moving mode determined in step 602 is “low speed”, the mobile terminal 101
05 "Low speed" in the periodic detection movement mode storage area 403
Is set (step 618), and the current mobile mode of the mobile terminal 101 (the mobile mode set in the mobile mode storage area 402 of the storage unit 305) is determined (step 619).

If the mobile terminal 101 is currently in the “high speed” mobile mode, it means that the mobile terminal user 102 has finished moving at a high speed and has stopped or is moving at a low speed. 101 is the current mobile terminal 101
Is switched from "high speed" to "low speed" (step 620).

Subsequently, the mobile terminal 101 re-establishes the processing route of the data that has been blocked, and releases all outgoing call restrictions (step 621).

If it is determined in step 619 that the moving mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “high speed” in the determination of the moving mode (current moving mode of the mobile terminal 101), nothing is performed, and the state is changed. Do not change. this is,
The mobile terminal user 102 is in a state of stopping or moving at a low speed.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 101 can restrict its own transmission in accordance with the combination of the spatial mode and the mobile mode.

That is, the mobile terminal 101 is
When the user No. 02 is moving at high speed using public transportation, the processing of step 612 restricts only the transmission with voice and enables only the data communication without voice. When the user 102 is moving at high speed using a means of transportation other than public transportation, all calls can be restricted by the processing of step 617. The mobile terminal 101 is a mobile terminal 102.
Even if the user uses public transportation, high-speed movement is not started, and if the movement mode is not switched to "high-speed", the call is not regulated and both voice communication and data communication are possible. be able to. By the way, the transmission restriction during high-speed movement has been described above. However, by realizing the transmission restriction according to the first embodiment, the reception restriction is also performed at the same time.

Hereinafter, the processing at the time of an incoming call will be briefly described.

As described above, the mobile terminal user 102
However, when the mobile terminal 101 moves at high speed using public transportation such as a train 106 or a bus, the mobile terminal 101 controls the selector 304 to connect the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307. Block the processing route.

Therefore, the received voice data of the communication partner is not transmitted from the modulation / demodulation unit 303 to the voice conversion processing unit 307 and is not output to the speaker 309, so that voice communication is disabled.

On the other hand, the external terminal 306 and the modulation / demodulation unit 30
3 is not interrupted, and the digital data stored in the storage unit 305 is displayed on the display 310, so that data communication other than voice communication is possible for both outgoing and incoming calls.

As described above, the mobile terminal user 1
When the mobile terminal 02 moves at high speed using a means of transportation other than public transportation such as the automobile 108, the mobile terminal 101 controls the selector 304 to switch between the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307. , A processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the audio conversion processing unit 307, and a processing route connecting the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the external terminal 306 are blocked. The display of the digital data input from the keypad 311 and stored in the storage unit 305 by the operation of the user 102 and the digital data received and stored in the storage unit 305 is suppressed on the display 310.

Therefore, the received voice data of the other party is not transmitted from the modulation / demodulation section 303 to the voice conversion processing section 307 and is not output to the speaker 309, so that voice communication is disabled.

Further, the digital data input through the external terminal 306 is not transmitted to the modulation / demodulation unit 303, and the received digital data is not output to the external device through the external terminal 306. Data communication using the external terminal 306 becomes impossible.

Further, the digital data demodulated by modulation / demodulation section 303 and stored in storage section 305 is no longer displayed on display 310, so that mobile terminal 101
Data communication using only the data is also impossible.

When all outgoing calls (that is, incoming calls) are regulated and digital data is received by data communication using only the mobile terminal 101, the received digital data is displayed on the display. 31
Although not displayed at 0, it is stored in the storage unit 305.

[0148] Therefore, when the outgoing call restriction is released, the mobile terminal 101 displays visible information such as "there is received data".
It is preferable to display on the display 310 to notify the mobile terminal user 102 that there is received digital data. Thereby, the mobile terminal user 102
By operating the keypad 311, the digital data stored in the storage unit 305 can be displayed on the display 310, and the contents of the digital data received during the transmission restriction can be confirmed.

When the space mode is set to “public area”, the control may be performed so that the notification method at the time of the incoming call is automatically switched to the vibration method. The notification sound will not bother others.

[0150] Further, when all calls are restricted, if there is an incoming call by voice to the mobile terminal 101, the mobile terminal 101 accepts the incoming call. It is preferable to transmit a voice message indicating that 101 is under regulation.

In the first embodiment, it is preferable that the mobile terminal 101 makes a notification as described below so that the mobile terminal user 102 can easily recognize the call restriction state.

When the space mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “public area” and the mobile mode is “high speed”, the mobile terminal user 102 is moving at high speed using public transportation. In addition, the mobile terminal 101 restricts only outgoing calls with voice. Therefore, in such a case, the mobile terminal 101 displays visible information such as “calling is restricted (only voice)” on the display 310, and informs the mobile terminal user that only transmission with voice is restricted. 10
Notify 2.

When the mobile terminal user 102 performs a calling operation when the space mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “public area” and the mobile mode is “high speed”, “calling with voice is restricted. I am. Is output from the speaker 309, and the mobile terminal user 102 is audibly notified that only transmission with voice is restricted.

When the space mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “outside the public sphere” and the mobile mode is “high speed”, the mobile terminal user 102 moves at high speed using a means of transportation other than public transportation. Mobile terminal 10
1 regulates all outgoing calls. Therefore, in such a case, the mobile terminal 101 displays
Visible information such as “Call restriction (all)” is displayed, and the mobile terminal user 102 is notified that all transmissions are restricted.

If the mobile terminal user 102 performs a call operation when the space mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “out of public sphere” and the movement mode is “high speed”, “all calls are restricted. . ] And other voice messages and alerts,
The information is output from the speaker 309 and the mobile terminal user 102 is audibly notified that all outgoing calls are restricted.

(Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described only with respect to differences from the above-described first embodiment.

In the above-described first embodiment, when the mobile terminal user 102 moves at high speed using public transportation, transmission with voice is restricted, and high-speed movement is performed using transportation means other than public transportation. When moving, all outgoing calls were regulated.

However, in the case of emergency such as when a suddenly sick person appears among the passengers around the public transportation or the passengers of the car 108, or when a trouble occurs in the car 108,
It is desirable to be able to communicate with the outside.

Therefore, in the second embodiment, even during high-speed movement, in the event of an emergency, the calling restriction is released, and it is possible to make a call only to a pre-registered emergency contact regardless of the movement mode and the space mode. To be.

[0160] The mobile terminal 101 according to the second embodiment includes:
An emergency release button for releasing the outgoing call restriction in an emergency is provided. Further, it is assumed that, for example, “110 (police)” and “119 (fire department)” are registered as pre-registered emergency contacts in the mobile terminal 101 according to the second embodiment. The emergency contact information may be capable of additionally registering two or three telephone numbers, such as the home of the mobile terminal user 102, a hospital, an automobile repair shop, and the like.

Next, the mobile terminal 10 according to the second embodiment
The emergency call barring release process by No. 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the emergency release button is pressed (step 701), mobile terminal 101 stops moving speed detector 312 (step 702). This is when the mobile terminal user 102 is on a call with an emergency contact,
This is to prevent the mobile terminal 101 from detecting the moving speed and repeating the transmission restriction process.

Subsequently, the mobile terminal 101 releases the call restriction (step 703). And mobile terminal user 1
A timer for measuring a waiting time from 02 to a transmission request is started (step 704), and it is monitored whether there is a transmission request (step 705).

When there is an outgoing call request from the mobile terminal user 102 by an outgoing call operation, the timer is canceled (step 70).
6). Then, it is determined whether or not the telephone number of the destination is a telephone number of an emergency contact registered in advance (step 707).

If the call is to an emergency contact registered in advance, the call is sent to the corresponding emergency contact (step 70).
8). Thereafter, it is monitored whether or not the mobile terminal user 102 is engaged in a call (step 709). When the call ends, the stopped moving speed detection unit 312 is activated (step 710), and a series of processing ends. I do.

When the moving speed detecting section 312 operates, the mobile terminal 101 detects the moving speed and regulates the transmission according to the latest moving mode and the space mode as described in the first embodiment. Release calling restrictions.

If the mobile terminal user 102 attempts to make a call to an emergency contact other than the pre-registered emergency contact, it is determined in step 707 that the contact is not an emergency contact. The unit 312 is operated (step 710), and a series of processing ends.

Thus, it is possible to prevent the mobile terminal user 102, who is moving at high speed, from intentionally pressing the emergency release button and attempting to talk with a person other than the emergency contact.

Further, after the timer for measuring the waiting time until the mobile terminal user 102 makes a call request is started (step 704), a certain waiting time is maintained until the mobile terminal user 102 makes a call request. The monitoring of whether the time has elapsed (step 711) and the monitoring of whether there is a transmission request (step 705) are repeated. Then, if a certain waiting time has elapsed and no transmission is requested from the mobile terminal user 102, the timer is canceled (step 7).
12) Then, the moving speed detector 312 that has been stopped is operated (step 710), and a series of processing ends.

As a result, after the emergency release button is pressed, the function of the moving speed detection unit 312 does not remain stopped, and the operation can be reliably restarted.

Here, the example in which the emergency release button is provided on the mobile terminal 101 has been described. However, the emergency release button is not provided, and the combination of “#”, “*”, or a number on the keypad 311 is used for the emergency release. The same function as the button may be used to release the outgoing call restriction in an emergency.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, the mobile terminal user 102 operates the emergency release button or the keypad 3
By pressing 11, regardless of the movement mode and the space mode, the outgoing call restriction is released, so that even during high-speed movement, it is possible to make an outgoing call only to the pre-registered emergency contact in an emergency. Become.

(Third Embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described only with respect to differences from the above-described first embodiment.

In the above-described first embodiment, when the movement mode is switched from “low speed” to “high speed”, all outgoing call restrictions are immediately released.

However, in a temporary low-speed state or a stopped state, such as in a train 106 approaching the station and gradually decelerating, or in a car 108 waiting for a traffic light, etc.
It is desirable that transmission be restricted.

Therefore, in the third embodiment, the timing for releasing the transmission restriction is controlled so that the transmission restriction is not released in a temporary low-speed state or a stopped state.

[0177] The mobile terminal 101 according to the third embodiment includes:
When the detected moving speed is compared with a preset speed threshold value and it is determined that the moving mode is “low speed”, “low speed” is set in the periodic detection moving mode storage area 403 of the storage unit 305. At this time, the current mobile terminal 10
1 is determined, and if the current movement mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “high speed”, the detection of the movement speed is repeated at a constant cycle.

Specifically, if the current moving mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “high speed”, the mobile terminal 101 activates a state duration measuring timer and measures the duration of the “low speed” state. To do. If the “low speed” state has passed a predetermined time, the mobile terminal 101 determines that the high-speed movement has completely ended, cancels the state duration measurement timer, and sets the current movement mode of the mobile terminal 101. To
Switch from "high speed" to "low speed". afterwards,
All transmission restrictions are released, and the detection of the moving speed is repeated at a constant cycle. If the mobile terminal user 102 starts high-speed movement again while the state duration measurement timer is running, “high speed” is set in the periodic detection movement mode storage area 403 of the storage unit 305. The terminal 101 releases the state duration measurement timer, and repeats the detection of the moving speed at a constant period without releasing the transmission restriction.

As described above, according to the third embodiment, by providing the state duration measuring timer, it is possible to prevent the transmission restriction from being released unless the high-speed movement is completely completed.

Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the mobile terminal user 102 who is using public transportation from inconveniencing surrounding passengers by trying to make a call in a temporarily low speed state or a stopped state, or while driving the automobile 108. Mobile terminal user 102
However, it is possible to prevent a call during driving of a car with a danger of a traffic accident due to an attempt to make a call while waiting for a traffic light, and to regulate the call more effectively.

On the other hand, if the mobile terminal user 102
It is also conceivable that the user wants to make a call immediately after getting off the vehicle 6 or immediately after stopping the car 108 completely.

In the operation of the mobile terminal 101 described above, “low speed” is set in the periodic detection movement mode storage area 403 of the storage unit 305 and the state duration measurement timer is started, and then the “low speed” state is determined in advance. Until the elapsed time elapses, the outgoing call restriction is not released.

Thus, the mobile terminal 1 according to the third embodiment
01 may be further provided with a button for releasing the state duration measurement timer, and when this button is pressed, the transmission restriction may be released immediately.

Specifically, in such a case, when the state duration measuring timer release button is pressed, the mobile terminal 101 releases the state duration measuring timer and moves the periodical detection movement of the storage unit 305. If “low speed” is set in the mode storage area 403, “low speed” is set in the movement mode storage area 402 of the storage unit 305, and the current movement mode of the mobile terminal 101 is changed from “high speed” to “low speed”. To switch to Then, all the transmission restrictions are released, and the detection of the moving speed is repeated at a constant cycle.

[0185] Here, an example in which the mobile terminal 101 is provided with a state duration measurement timer release button has been described.
Instead of providing a state duration measurement timer release button, a combination of “#”, “*”, or a number on the keypad 311 is used as the same function as the state duration measurement timer release button to release the state duration measurement timer. It may be.

In this way, the mobile terminal user 102
Is the state duration measurement timer release button or keypad 3
By pressing the button 11, the state duration measuring timer for measuring the duration of the "low speed" state is released, and the transmission restriction is released immediately. Therefore, immediately after getting off the train or from the car 108 Can be transmitted immediately after completely stopping.

[0187] Supplementally, even if the mobile terminal user 102 cancels the state duration measurement timer and makes a call, the mobile terminal 101 continues to detect the moving speed, so that the mobile terminal 101 continues to detect the moving speed. When the movement starts, if the spatial mode is “public area”, transmission with voice is restricted again, and if the spatial mode is “out of public area”, all transmissions are restricted again. Therefore, the mobile terminal user 10
2 can prevent the intentional depressing of the state duration measurement timer release button to make a call in a temporary low-speed state or a stopped state even in an emergency, and the original object is achieved. ing.

(Fourth Embodiment) Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described only with respect to differences from the above-described first embodiment.

In the above-described first embodiment, when the mobile terminal user 102 moves by using a taxi, the space mode is “out of public sphere”, and as in the case of using a general automobile 108, All transmissions were to be regulated.

However, the mobile terminal user 102
Since a taxi rides as a passenger, the mobile terminal 10
There is no danger of a traffic accident due to the operation 1 and no trouble to the surroundings by voice call. When the mobile terminal user 102 uses a taxi, all outgoing calls are not restricted, and neither voice call nor data communication It is desirable to be able to do so.

Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, an in-vehicle transmitter is installed in a taxi, and the mobile terminal 101 notifies the mobile terminal 101 that the mobile means of the mobile terminal user 102 is a taxi.
To be recognized. Then, the mobile terminal 101
If the mobile means of the mobile terminal user 102 is a taxi, call barring is not performed.

First, an in-vehicle transmitter installed in a taxi will be described.

Generally, a taxi meter for indicating the presence or absence of a passenger is installed in a taxi. Usually, a taxi meter indicates "taxied" when traveling with passengers, "vacant" when there are no passengers, "payment" when toll is being settled, etc. The state can be switched by an operation, and by this switching, it is possible to recognize the presence or absence of a passenger.

Therefore, this taxi meter is provided with a function of transmitting a taxi in-car notification signal for notifying that the vehicle is in a taxi car, and can be used as an in-car transmitter.

The in-vehicle transmitter (taximeter) starts transmitting a taxi in-car notification signal when the state changes from “empty” to “rent”, and during the “rent”, the taxi in-cab notice is always sent. Send a signal. Then, when the state changes from "rent running" to "payment", transmission of the in-cab notification signal is stopped.

Next, when the mobile terminal user 102 actually uses a taxi, the mobile terminal 1 according to the fourth embodiment will be described.
01 will be described.

When the mobile terminal user 102 gets into a taxi as a passenger, and the taxi driver switches the state of the in-vehicle transmitter from “empty” to “pay”, the in-vehicle transmitter sends an in-cab notification signal. Thereafter, while the state is “rent running”, the in-vehicle transmitter always transmits a taxi in-car notification signal.

When the taxi starts moving at high speed, the mobile terminal 101 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same operation as the operation of the mobile terminal 101 according to the first embodiment described above, based on the moving speed detected at a constant cycle. The mobile mode is set to “high speed”. At this time, since the spatial mode of the mobile terminal 101 is “out of public area”, all outgoing calls are restricted.

In the fourth embodiment, when the mobile terminal user 102 makes a call request by a call operation or when the mobile terminal 101 receives a call, the mobile terminal 101 It is determined whether a notification signal has been received.

[0200] While the mobile terminal user 102 is in a taxi as a passenger, the mobile terminal 101 receives the taxi in-car notification signal constantly transmitted from the on-board transmitter, so that the above-described determination indicates that the mobile terminal 101 is in the taxi. It can be determined that there is. Therefore, the mobile terminal 101 re-establishes the processing route of the data that has been blocked up to that point, and enables outgoing / incoming calls regardless of voice communication and data communication.

Thereafter, the mobile terminal 101 stops the moving speed detecting section 312 until the end of the call, so that the moving route is not detected and the processing route is not interrupted during the call. At the same time, when the call ends, the moving speed detecting unit 312 is operated.

The moving speed detector 312 that has been stopped
If the mobile phone is moving at a high speed when is operated, all calls will return to the restricted state.

Thus, even if the taxi starts moving at high speed, if the in-vehicle notification signal is received, the mobile terminal 101
Can make and receive calls.

When the taxi arrives at the destination and the taxi driver changes the state of the in-vehicle transmitter from "pay" to "pay-out", the transmission of the in-cab notification signal from the in-vehicle transmitter stops.

When the taxi stops, the mobile terminal 101 according to the fourth embodiment changes the travel mode from the travel speed detected at a constant cycle, similarly to the operation of the mobile terminal 101 according to the above-described first embodiment. Set to "low speed" and release the call restriction.

As described above, according to the fourth embodiment, when the mobile terminal user 102 is moving at high speed using a taxi, the mobile terminal user 102 can perform both voice communication and data communication. Become.

(Fifth Embodiment) Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described only with respect to differences from the above-described first embodiment.

In the first embodiment described above, the spatial mode switching signal transmitter 103 is installed at the entrance of the public transportation. Therefore, considering the bus as an example of the public transportation, the bus entrance and the exit of the bus are considered. The spatial mode switching signal transmitter 103 was to be installed at the exit.

[0209] However, in practice, the bus frequently stops at a red light or gets caught in congestion, for example, and is frequently "low speed".
It is conceivable that the situation may occur. If the call restriction is released each time and the voice communication is enabled, it becomes very annoying to surrounding passengers.

Therefore, in the fifth embodiment, as in the case of the taxi in the above-described fourth embodiment, an in-vehicle transmitter is installed in the bus, and the mobile terminal user 1
02 so that the mobile terminal 101 can recognize that the means of transportation is a bus. Then, when the moving means of the mobile terminal user 102 is a bus, the mobile terminal 101 restricts outgoing calls with voice regardless of the moving speed.

[0211] Specifically, first, an in-vehicle transmitter dedicated to the bus is installed at each of the entrance and exit of the bus. The in-vehicle transmitter installed at the entrance emits a signal indicating that it is a bus entrance, and the in-vehicle transmitter installed at the exit is an exit signal notifying that it is a bus exit. Outgoing. Here, the entrance signal and the exit signal need to be signals that enable the mobile terminal 101 to distinguish from the entrance signal and the exit signal described in the first embodiment.

The mobile terminal 1 according to the fifth embodiment
01 receives the entrance signal and determines that the vehicle is in the bus until the exit signal is received, and restricts transmission with voice.

[0213] More specifically, upon receiving the entrance signal, the mobile terminal 101 recognizes that the mobile terminal user 102 has got on the bus, and controls the selector 304 so that the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing are performed. The processing route connecting to the section 307 is cut off, and transmission with voice is restricted.

[0214] Further, the mobile terminal 101 stops the moving speed detecting unit 312 until it receives the exit signal, so that the mobile terminal 101 transmits a voice call during the movement using the bus regardless of the moving speed. Be regulated.

At this time, even if the moving speed detection unit 312 is stopped, the processing route connecting the external terminal 306 and the modulation / demodulation unit 303 is not interrupted. The digital data input and stored from the keypad 311 and the digital data received and stored in the storage unit 305 are displayed on the display 310, so that data communication other than voice communication is possible.

Thereafter, upon receiving the exit signal, the mobile terminal 101 recognizes that the mobile terminal user 102 has got off the bus, and controls the selector 304 to control the modulation / demodulation unit 303 and the voice conversion processing unit 307. Re-establish the processing route connecting between, and release the outgoing call restriction with voice.

Further, the mobile terminal 101 operates the moving speed detecting unit 312 which has been stopped.

As described above, according to the fifth embodiment, when the mobile terminal user 102 is using the bus, only voice calls that cause annoyance to surrounding passengers are performed regardless of the moving speed. Can be regulated.

[0219]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Recognize the high-speed means of movement of the mobile terminal, and if the high-speed means is public transportation, control to restrict only outgoing calls with voice calls (do not restrict outgoing calls without voice calls)
When the high-speed transportation means is other than public transportation, it is possible to control so as to regulate all outgoing calls.

[0220] Therefore, when using a public transportation system, the mobile terminal user can perform data communication that does not bother the surrounding passengers, even if the voice call that causes annoying surrounding passengers is restricted. It is possible. In addition, the mobile terminal user can use the mobile terminal effectively, such as when meeting at the station premises, because voice calls are not restricted unless they are traveling at high speeds, even when using public transportation. It is.
