2. Description of the Related Art Mobile devices such as mobile phones and PHSs (personal handy phone systems) have the advantage that they can be carried around at any time and can be used at any time.
However, since it may affect the equipment of the aircraft when brought in the aircraft, it is instructed to turn off the power especially before and after takeoff and before and after landing.

As a conventional technique for restricting the use of a mobile device in an aircraft, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-94036 (“mobile communication system”) and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-11505.
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 4 (“Mobile Phone Usage Restriction System”). The former places a base station with a message transmission function near the place where the use of the mobile device is restricted, and sends a message prompting to turn off the power of the mobile device when the mobile device enters the control range of the base station. The latter is designed to forcibly turn off the mobile device when boarding an aircraft.

[0004]

However, in the conventional mobile communication system, when the user who owns the mobile device gets on the aircraft, the power of the mobile device is turned off to limit the communication. Then, I do not know why the communication is restricted for the source user who called the mobile device, and for the destination user,
There is a problem that it is not possible to recognize whether or not there is an incoming call while the aircraft is in flight.

The present invention has been made in view of the above point, and it is possible to know that a user who owns a mobile device has received an incoming call even when communication is restricted when he / she boarded an aircraft. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile communication system and a mobile communication method that allow a caller user who has called a user to know the reason for the communication restriction of the callee.

When there is an incoming call to the mobile device, a notification means for notifying the source device of the aircraft operation information from the mobile device is adopted.

In the exchange control station according to the present invention, in the exchange control station, the notifying means is in the aircraft via an aircraft telephone network when an incoming call is received by a mobile device whose registration information is recorded in the storage means. The incoming call information is notified to the communication terminal device provided in.

In the exchange control station of the present invention, in the exchange control station, the storage means can store the message of the originator, and the notification means receives a message reproduction request from a mobile device in the aircraft. Then, the message of the sender stored in the storage means is transmitted to the mobile device.

A mobile communication system of the present invention has a configuration including the above-mentioned wireless communication device, the above-mentioned mobile device, and the above-mentioned exchange control station.

According to the mobile communication method of the present invention, the operation information of an aircraft is transmitted to a mobile device near the boarding gate near the boarding gate of the aircraft, and the mobile device transmits the aircraft operation information to its current location. Is notified to the exchange control station via a base station in charge of, and the exchange control station stores the notified aircraft operation information together with the location registration information of the mobile unit, and the mobile unit receives an incoming call. If there is, a message notifying the aircraft operation information notified from the mobile device is notified to the transmission source device.

According to the present invention, when a user who owns a mobile device such as a mobile phone or PHS receives an incoming call in a state where communication is restricted by boarding an aircraft, the originating user is notified of the operation information of the boarding aircraft. Since the notification is sent, the source user can know why the communication is restricted.

Further, the user who owns the mobile device can confirm the incoming call to himself by the communication terminal device provided in the aircraft. Furthermore, when the sender user has registered a message, the message from the sender user can be confirmed.
