2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram (part 1) of a conventional example, wherein FIG. 9A is an explanatory diagram of PHS zone switching, and FIG.
FIG. 2 is a system configuration diagram of S. FIG. 10 is an explanatory view (part 2) of a conventional example. Hereinafter, a conventional example will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, a PHS portable terminal (PHS telephone) is referred to as a “PHS terminal”.

Conventionally, a PHS terminal has been used as a simple portable telephone. The PHS terminal communicates with the base station as appropriate, and the exchange of the telephone company identifies the base station antenna with which the PHS terminal communicates, thereby obtaining the PHS terminal.
In which area the HS terminal is located or moved can be specified. As an application example, it is well known that a "position display service" for notifying a third-party service user of a PHS location area is provided. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

In a mobile communication system such as a PHS, a range in which radio waves can reach from an antenna of a base station is called a zone, and the zones are arranged. When a PHS terminal used in a certain zone moves to an adjacent zone, the base station is switched to a base station in an adjacent zone to maintain a call. In this case, between the base stations, a network is used to select the other party with an exchange and connect the line, as in a normal telephone network.

[0005] In a mobile communication system such as a PHS, an incoming call cannot be made without knowing where the PHS terminal is. For this reason, the PHS terminal occasionally emits a radio wave to inform the network side of its position, and a base station in that area transmits a call signal by radio wave to transmit the P number of that number.
Only the HS terminal rings a bell or the like.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, base stations are arranged as A, B, and C, and zones a, b, and c of the respective base stations A, B, and C are arranged. Deploy. Then, each base station and the switching mechanism 1 are connected by a line.
In this state, if the PHS terminal 2 moves in the order of zone a of the base station A → zone b of the base station B → zone c of the base station C, the switching mechanism 1 moves in accordance with the movement of the PHS terminal 2. The base station is switched in the order of base station A → base station B → base station C.

The system configuration of the PHS is, for example, as shown in FIG.
It looks like the figure. In this example, a control device 7 is added to existing telephone network equipment including an exchange 6 (a local exchange, a toll exchange, etc.). The control device 7 has a function of checking where the PHS terminal 2 is located, and includes a memory 8 for storing position information of the PHS terminal 2 and the like.

In the PHS system, zones a,
, a PHS connecting device 5 for connecting each of the base stations A, B, C,.
To the exchange 6 of the existing telephone network equipment.
In this case, between each base station and the PHS connection device 5, an IS
They are connected by a DN line.

The exchanges 6 are installed in each area (in the city, outside the city, etc.), and a center for controlling all the exchanges is installed. In this center, the exchanges and the exchanges are provided. Is provided with a control device 7 connected to the control device. The information of the control devices 7 connected to the exchanges 6 in each area is all collected and managed by the control device 7 in the center.

Since the PHS terminal is used by moving anywhere, several zones are collectively used as a location registration unit, and a control signal is constantly exchanged with the base station to determine which location registration unit the PHS terminal 2 is in. Control device 7
(The control device 7 connected to the exchange 6 and the control device 7 in the center). The exchange 6 connects to the base station where the PHS terminal is located based on the information from the control device 7.

In the above system, for example,
It is assumed that the PHS terminal 2 is at the position A in the zone a as shown in FIG. At this time, the PHS terminal 2
The control device 7 which is appropriately communicating with the antenna a of the base station within the PHS terminal 2 connected to the exchange 6 of the telephone company
By identifying which base station antenna is communicating with which zone, the PHS terminal 2 is located in which zone,
Or, it can be specified whether or not it has moved.

Thereafter, assuming that PHS terminal 2 has moved from position A in zone a to position B in zone b, at this position, PHS terminal 2 communicates with antenna b of the base station in zone b. At this time, the PHS terminal 2 is
Has moved into zone b. Then, the position information and the like are stored in the memory 8. At this time, for example, a “position display service” for notifying the service user 9 (for example, a family) as a third party of the location area of the PHS terminal 2 is provided.

[0013]

The above-mentioned prior art has the following problems.

(1): For example, when a user of a PHS terminal falls asleep on a train on his way home, for example, PHS
Even if you have a terminal, you may get over if there is no function that can be activated by a buzzer or the like at the getting off station.

(2): Some PHS terminals have a function of operating a buzzer at a preset time. For example, if you return home by train from your office,
It is also conceivable that a time is set in the S terminal so that a buzzer sounds near the disembarkation station, and the buzzer is activated at the set time to warn the user, thereby preventing overtaking. However, in a PHS terminal having a time setting type buzzer function, it is necessary to adjust the setting of the buzzer sound start time every time the return time differs. Therefore, it is troublesome and troublesome, and the usability is poor.

(3): In the "position display service", P
Although the service user (a third party other than the person having the PHS terminal) can be displayed on the display device to inform the user where the person holding the HS terminal is, as described above, When you fall asleep on a train, it is impossible to wake up a person who has fallen asleep.

The present invention solves such a conventional problem,
It is an object of the present invention to ensure that a user of a portable terminal can be notified of arrival at a destination regardless of time.

§4: Other explanations The present invention can be implemented as follows.

(1): In the case of Example 1, when a specific number for registration is dialed from the PHS terminal 2, a telephone number (wired telephone number) of a home or a villa is continuously dialed. Antenna I within a certain distance from home, etc.
It is also possible to automatically register D as the antenna ID of the alarm target. By doing so, the PHS terminal 2
It is possible to automatically register a specific area from a distant place even if it is not a place where there is.

(2): In the case of Example 2, when dialing a specific number for registration from the PHS terminal 2, the home telephone number is continuously dialed, so that the antenna ID at a certain distance from the home or the like can be obtained. It is also possible to pull out from the control device 7 side of the center and automatically register it inside the PHS terminal 2 as an antenna ID to be alarmed.

(3): The present invention can be applied not only to the PHS but also to other portable telephone systems.

[0082]

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

(1): In the conventional time setting type alarm, for example, it is necessary to adjust the alarm setting every time the return time differs, but in the present invention, the arrival at the destination regardless of the time is required. The user can be notified. Therefore, adjustment and setting at each time become unnecessary, and the convenience of the user is improved.

(2): For example, if you enter the city where your home is located on a train on your way home, you will receive a PHS alarm.
Having a terminal also makes it possible to prevent a train or a bus from getting over.

(3): Since the PHS has a narrower zone than other mobile phones, a specific area can be set finely if a PHS terminal is used as a mobile terminal.

(4): When registering table data on the control device side, the portable terminal that has requested the alarm and the specific area to be alarmed are connected to the network control device (the control device connected to the exchange and the control device in the center). ), And the control device compares the information obtained by the communication with the registration information every time the mobile terminal communicates with the base station. In addition, when registering a specific area, a specific number for registration is dialed from the portable terminal, the exchange on the network detects the antenna ID of the base station that accepted the dial, and the control device sets the antenna ID as the antenna ID to be alarmed. Register automatically.

In this way, it is only necessary to add a simple program or the like to the control device side without any special change on the portable terminal side, so that it can be realized at low cost. In addition, it is possible to reliably notify the user of the portable terminal of arrival at the destination regardless of the time.

(5): When registering data in a portable terminal,
The mobile terminal that has requested the alarm and the information on the specific area to be alarmed are registered in the mobile terminal, and each time the mobile terminal communicates with the base station, the information (antenna ID) obtained through communication with the base station is registered. Compare information.

Also, at the time of registration of the specific area, by dialing a specific number for registration from the portable terminal,
On the mobile terminal side, the antenna ID that accepted the dial
Is automatically registered as an alarm target antenna ID in the internal storage means.

In this manner, even if a special change is not required on the control device side, only a simple program or the like needs to be added on the portable terminal side. In addition, it is possible to reliably notify the user of the portable terminal of arrival at the destination regardless of the time.
