BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION (Embodiment 1) A compound communication terminal showing a mobile terminal using an identification number of a wireless base station of a mobile 1 of the present invention as a program starting condition will be described below.
A description will be given with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a compound communication terminal using the identification number of the radio base station as the program starting condition in the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a compound communication terminal, 2 is a communication unit that enables wireless communication,
3 is a storage unit for storing and reading the program,
Reference numeral 4 is an information processing unit that executes software obtained by the communication unit 2 or software stored in the storage unit 3, 5 is a communication information notification unit that notifies information managed by the communication unit 3, and 6 is communication information. An activation table showing the correspondence between the communication information obtained from the notification unit 5 and the activation software, and 7 is a program activation unit that obtains the communication information from the communication information notification unit 5 and refers to the activation table 6 to activate the program.

FIG. 2 is a system configuration diagram showing the operating environment of the composite communication terminal. In FIG. 2, 1 is a compound communication terminal,
Reference numeral 10 is a communication network capable of wireless communication (mobile communication), and 11 is a wireless base station that forms a wireless communication line with a compound communication terminal to perform communication.

The operation of the composite communication terminal configured as described above will be described.

The communication section 2 of the composite communication terminal 1 performs position registration using the identification number of the wireless base station 11 through the wireless base station 11 with respect to the communication network 10 in order to enable wireless communication (incoming call). . Communication network 10 when an incoming call occurs
Refers to the identification number of the location-registered wireless base station 11, and calls the called terminal from the wireless base station having that identification number. In order to perform this location registration, the communication unit 2 of the composite communication terminal 1 stores the identification number of the radio base station 11 currently registered in the communication network 10, and monitors the radio base station 11 that can periodically talk. is doing. When the compound communication terminal 1 moves and it is determined that it is difficult to communicate with the wireless base station 11 that has registered the location, the communication unit 2 of the compound communication terminal 1 newly performs the location registration and identifies the location-registered base station 11. Remember the number. At the same time, the communication information notifying unit 5 notifies the program starting unit 7 of the identification number of the newly-registered wireless base station 11. An interrupt is generated by the notification, and the program starting unit 7 is started. Program startup part 7 that received the notification
Determines the program to be started by referring to the starting table 6 in which the correspondence between the identification number and the program name is shown.
If the determined program is other than the currently running program, the running program is terminated. Then, the newly started program is read from the storage unit 3 into the information processing unit 4 and executed. By this processing, it becomes possible to automatically start a program corresponding to the position of the communication terminal.

In the embodiment, the activation table 6 and the program activation unit 7 are provided outside the program executed by the information processing unit 4. However, the activation table and the program activation means are incorporated in the program executed by the information processing unit. The correspondence between the identification number of the wireless base station 11 and the startup subroutine is described in the startup table, the program starting means is called at the time of processing branch, and the communication information notifying unit 5 receives the information of the identification number of the wireless base station 11, It is also possible to automatically determine the execution subroutine according to the terminal position by changing the processing content by searching the start-up table and determining and executing the execution subroutine.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the compound communication terminal 1 which is a portable terminal, the communication information notifying section 5 for notifying the information managed by the communication section 2 and the communication information obtained from the communication information notifying section 5 are provided. And a program activation unit 7 that obtains communication information from the communication information notification unit 5 and refers to the activation table to activate the program. With this configuration, the program activation unit 7 that has received the notification of the identification number of the wireless base station whose current position is registered from the communication information notification unit 5 refers to the activation table 6 that shows the correspondence between the identification number and the program name. And decide which program to start. Then, by reading the program from the storage unit 3 into the information processing unit 4 and executing it, it becomes possible to automatically start up the program according to the position of the communication terminal.
