Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. Hereinafter, a mobile phone will be described as an example of the mobile wireless terminal of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. A mobile phone 100 according to the present embodiment includes a wireless unit 10 (first communication unit) that performs voice and data communication with a public line network 200 via an antenna 13, and data transmitted and received by the wireless unit 10. , A payment unit 18 for performing payment through short-range wireless communication with an external terminal (a data processing device external to the mobile phone) 300, and a control unit 17 for controlling these units. Having. The wireless unit 10 has a transmitting unit 11 and a receiving unit 12. As the settlement unit 18, a known non-contact type IC card (with a built-in IC chip) capable of storing information of electronic money or a function thereof is incorporated, and the external terminal 3 is connected via a communication unit 19.
Data is transmitted / received while being away from the partner device by wireless communication such as 00 and electromagnetic waves, and the payment is settled. The term "built-in" includes a mode in which the device is temporarily inserted into a mobile phone from the outside and used. External terminal 300 in the present embodiment
Is an automatic ticket gate installed at a railway station.
Under the control of 1, data is exchanged with the communication unit 19 of the mobile phone 100 by wireless communication via the communication unit 30 (second communication unit). The control unit 31 controls the external terminal 30
0 as well as perform necessary settlement processing.

The operation of the mobile phone 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the user carrying the mobile phone 100 enters the station through the automatic ticket gate (S11, Yes),
The mobile phone 100 is connected to the external terminal 300 via wireless communication.
And boarding station information, and make payment for the lowest fare with the external terminal 300 (S1).
2). At this time, information that the railway fare has been paid is sent to the control unit 17 of the mobile phone 100, and based on this information, the control unit 17 switches the mobile phone 100 to the transmission inhibition mode and inhibits the transmission operation. (S13).
As a result, the transmitting operation of the transmitting unit 11 of the mobile phone 100 is suppressed, and the mobile phone 100 does not emit high-frequency power. However, in the present embodiment, the receiving operation of the receiving unit 12 of the wireless unit 10 is maintained in a operable state. It does not affect other operations.

Thereafter, when the user leaves the station after passing through the automatic ticket gate at the getting off station (S14, Yes),
Payment processing is performed so that the remaining amount of the railway fare is settled (S15). At this time, information is sent to the control unit 17 of the mobile phone 100, and based on this information, the control unit 17 switches the operation of the mobile phone 100 to the original transmission enabled state (S16).

In the present embodiment, only the transmission operation of the mobile phone 100 is suppressed during the period from the ticket gate when getting on to the ticket gate when getting off, so that the receiving function is operable.
Cell search for mobile phones can be performed. as a result,
If the transmission function becomes operable after getting out of the ticket gate at the time of getting off, location registration can be performed quickly, and the time required for making a call is short. Further, if a data distribution service via a common channel, a broadcast channel, or the like can be used, such a service can be enjoyed using the reception function even after entering the station. Naturally, a user operation that does not use the communication function, such as reading a received mail or creating a new mail, can be executed even while riding.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, a call cannot be made between the entrance to the station using an automatic ticket gate and the exit, in order to suppress the transmission function of the mobile phone. In the present embodiment, instead of suppressing transmission, the communication system is changed. In other words, PDC (Personal Digital Cellular)
And W-CDMA (Wideband-Code Division Multiple Acc
ess) and a second communication method that does not adversely affect electronic medical devices such as a cardiac pacemaker.
The first communication method is switched to the second communication method after entering the station. As the second communication method, Bluetooth (trademark) using radio waves of low output power and IrDA (Infrared Da) using infrared rays are used.
ta Association). In such a mobile phone having at least two communication methods, when entering a station, the communication function is switched from the first communication method to the second communication method instead of suppressing the transmission function. (Note that the “first communication method” here is the communication method of the first communication means in the claims, and the “second communication method” is the communication method of the third communication means in the claims. Note that this corresponds to the scheme.)

It is necessary to refrain from using a mobile phone in a train because the electromagnetic waves emitted from the antenna affect electronic medical devices typified by the passenger's cardiac pacemaker, which are closely associated with the passenger, and the voice of speech interferes with the surroundings. Therefore, the former problem is solved by switching the communication system to the second communication system, and at the same time the communication system is switched, the voice communication is suppressed and the available communication is data. Limit to communication only. In this way, by enabling the exchange of text messages represented by e-mails and the connection to the Internet homepage, data communication means can be secured without disturbing surrounding passengers.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. This figure is the same as FIG. 1, but the mobile phone 100 has a BT wireless unit 14 compatible with the second communication system in addition to the communication unit 10 compatible with the first communication system. The second communication method here uses Bluetooth as an example of a communication method in which the transmission / reception signal does not affect the electronic medical device.
Stands for Bluetooth. The BT radio unit 14 can communicate with the data server 700 via the BT antenna 15 and a BT base station (described later) even after boarding, and can perform processing such as data download.

FIG. 4 shows a first embodiment according to the second embodiment.
1 is a conceptual diagram of a system that converts communication of a first communication method into communication of a second communication method by a BT base station 600 as a terminal of the communication method (for example, PDC). The BT base station 600 is installed at a predetermined location of the vehicle 690, performs communication using the first communication method with the PDC communication base station 202, and converts the communication into communication using the second communication method. By performing communication with the mobile phone 100,
The communication between the mobile phone 100 and the communication base station 202 is relayed.

In some mobile communication systems, transmission power is controlled in accordance with the distance between the base station and the terminal. In such a communication system, a mobile telephone communication base station is mounted on a vehicle such as a train. For example, the transmission power is expected to be weak because the distance between the communication base station and the terminal in the vehicle is small. However, since the communication base station itself moves, interference between the communication base station and another communication base station may occur. It becomes a problem. On the other hand, the BT base station according to the present embodiment is equivalent to the mobile phone 100 from the viewpoint of the communication base station 202, and does not have the above-described problem such as interference.

FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of BT base station 600. When relaying a signal from the communication base station 202 according to the first communication scheme to the mobile phone 100 via the second communication scheme, the BT base station 600 converts a received signal received through the antenna 601 into an antenna duplexer. The signal is supplied to a receiving circuit (RX) 605 through a changeover switch (Duplexer) 603. The changeover switch 603 functions to switch between transmission and reception. Here, the receiving circuit 605 performs processing such as band limitation and automatic gain control necessary for the received signal to have an appropriate level. Further, a desired reception frequency is converted to a predetermined frequency by a mixer (not shown), A / D converted, and appropriate decoding is performed by a reception demodulation unit 607 by removing effects such as fading and error correction. Done.
This data passes through a data processing unit 610 and is subjected to a predetermined modulation by a BT modulation unit 611, so that the transmission circuit (BT-T
X) The signal is output as a radio wave from the BT antenna 618 via the switch 616 by the switch 613.

Conversely, when relaying a signal from the mobile phone 100 to the communication base station 202, the signal from the mobile phone 100 received by the BT antenna 618 is
6 and received by a receiving circuit (BT-RX) 614 via
The data demodulated by the T demodulation unit 612 is processed by the data processing unit 610.
Send to The data processing unit 610 sends the received data to the modulation unit 608, undergoes a predetermined modulation process, is converted into an analog modulation signal by the transmission circuit (TX) 606, is converted to a desired transmission frequency, and is switched. The light is radiated from the antenna 601 via the switch 603.

The operation of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When a user carrying the mobile phone 100 enters the station through an automatic ticket gate (S21, Yes),
The mobile phone 100 receives the boarding station information from the external terminal 300 and makes a payment with the external terminal 300 for collecting the lowest fare (S22). At this time, information that the railway fare has been paid is sent to the control unit 17 of the mobile phone 100, and based on this information, the control unit 17
Switches the communication method of the mobile phone 100 to the second communication method and allows only data communication (S23). As a result, the function of the wireless unit 10 of the first communication method is suppressed in the mobile phone 100, and the mobile phone 100 does not emit high-power high-frequency waves. Instead, BT as the second communication method
Only data communication of the radio unit 14 is permitted.

Thereafter, when the user passes through the automatic ticket gate at the disembarkation station and leaves the station (S24, Yes),
Payment processing is performed so that the remaining amount of the railway fare is settled (S25). At this time, information is sent to the control unit 17 of the mobile phone 100, and based on this information, the control unit 17 switches the communication system of the mobile phone 100 to the original first communication system (S26).

As described above, according to the second embodiment, even after boarding, the communication function is maintained only for data communication.

In the first and second embodiments, an example of a ticket gate of a railway has been described. However, the same applies not only to a railway but also to other public transportation using an automatic ticket gate. Further, by providing a similar automatic ticket gate at the entrance of a concert or a lecture, it is possible to prevent the surroundings from being disturbed by setting the mobile phone in a manner mode. In such a case, substantial payment is not necessary, and for example, a formal payment may be performed with the price being 0 yen.
