Next, another embodiment of the warning operation in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention will be described. That is, the warning output type 24b registered in advance in the storage unit 24
In this case, the fact that a warning display should be output is registered in the display unit 22. In such a case,
In the storage unit 24, image information (that is, warning pattern information) regarding the warning display to be displayed on the display unit 22, character message data (that is, warning character information), or a lookup table for determining the background color, It is stored as image information and / or character information and / or background color 24a ₂ .

Thus, for example, the detection unit 30 of the mobile telephone device 10 shown in FIG. 4 detects the response signal from the transmitter 40 existing in the vicinity, and the reception signal determination unit 34 causes the transmission / reception control unit 21i. When the warning control signal is transmitted to the warning output unit 21f via the, the warning output unit 21f performs an operation of reading the warning output type 24b from the storage unit 24.

Here, the warning output type 24b is, for example,
For example, a display indicating that a warning has occurred is displayed as the warning information on the display unit 22.
If there is registered that it should be output to

In the this case, or it flashes the light emitting unit 22a in the storage unit 24, also blinking cycle and / or emission color 24a ₃ or to change the luminescent color, as the warning information 24a, are registered in advance.

Thus, for example, the detection unit 30 of the mobile telephone device 10 shown in FIG. 4 detects the response signal from the transmitter 40 existing in the vicinity, and the reception signal determination unit 34 causes the transmission / reception control unit 21i. When the warning control signal is transmitted to the warning output unit 21f via the, the warning output unit 21f performs an operation of reading the warning output type 24b from the storage unit 24.

Here, as the warning output type 24b,
For example, there is a case where, as the warning information, it is registered that a display indicating that a warning has occurred should be displayed by blinking the light emitting portion 22a such as an LED arranged in the housing of the mobile telephone device 10 or by emitting light color. Is the light emission output unit 2 of the warning output unit 21f.
If 1f ₃ is activated, the warning information 24a registered in advance in the light emitting unit 22a registered in the storage unit 24, that is, the warning information 24a, that is, the blinking period and / or the emission color 22a _3, is read from the storage unit 24 and the light emitting unit 22a. Is blinked, or the color of the light emitting portion 22a is changed from green to red, for example.

Next, another embodiment of the warning operation in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention will be described. That is, this is the case where the warning output type 24b registered in advance in the storage unit 24 is registered to vibrate the warning display vibrator 27 and output the warning display. In such a case, the vibration pattern 24a ₄ for vibrating the vibrator 27 is also registered in the storage unit 24 in advance as the warning information 24a.

Thus, for example, the detection unit 30 of the mobile telephone device 10 shown in FIG. 4 detects a response signal from the transmitter 40 existing in the vicinity, and the reception signal determination unit 34 causes the transmission / reception control unit 21i. When the warning control signal is transmitted to the warning output unit 21f via the, the warning output unit 21f performs an operation of reading the warning output type 24b from the storage unit 24 via the control unit 21. .

Here, in the warning output type 24b, for example, as the warning information, the fact that a warning has occurred is displayed.
When it is registered that vibration should be output by vibrating 7, the vibration output unit 21 of the warning output unit 24f is registered.
When f ₄ is activated, the warning information 24a, that is, the vibration pattern 24a ₄ for displaying the warning on the vibrator 27 registered in advance in the storage unit 24 is read from the storage unit 24, and according to the vibration pattern 24a ₄ , The vibrator 27 is vibrated.

The warning operation in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention described above can be operated independently, and the warning output type 24b of the storage unit 24 is used.
It is also possible to register a plurality of warning output means so as to operate at the same time. For example, at the same time as outputting the warning sound information from the speaker 25a or the receiver 25b,
Display image information for warning display on the display unit 22,
Alternatively, it is also possible to use it as a warning unit that combines a plurality of arbitrary warning output operations, such as causing the light emitting unit 22a to blink while simultaneously vibrating the vibrator 27.

Next, an embodiment of a different warning operation in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention will be described. In the above-described embodiments of the warning operation, the owner of the mobile telephone device 10 and the surrounding people are merely notified of the occurrence of the warning state automatically. In the example, not only is the notification of the occurrence of the warning state issued, but also the wireless communication operation of the mobile telephone device 10 that transmits and receives a radio wave signal to and from the base station is forcibly controlled. The operation of the mobile telephone device 10 is degenerated to suppress a specific wireless communication operation.

In other words, in FIG. 4, when the reception signal discriminating unit 34 of the mobile telephone apparatus 10 detects the response signal from the transmitter 40, the warning control signal generated in the reception signal discriminating unit 34 is the control unit. The warning output unit 21f of 21 is notified, and is used not only as a warning unit indicating that a warning state is generated for the sound source generation unit 25, the display unit 22, the light emitting unit 22a, or the vibrator 27, but also of the control unit 21. The operation degeneration unit 21g is also notified, degenerates the operation of the mobile telephone device 10, and is used as a control signal for controlling the wireless communication operation.

In such a case, as a control pattern of the wireless communication operation, for example, the power supply of the mobile telephone device 10 is controlled to forcibly turn off the power supply other than the power supply required in the standby state. Or controlling the wireless communication processing unit 28 to reduce (for example, halve) the radio wave output intensity from that during normal operation, or a circuit unit required for a call such as the wireless communication processing unit 28 and the voice conversion unit 29. The degeneration operation for suppressing the wireless communication operation from the mobile telephone device 10 is forcibly executed by controlling the power supply unit of the above and forcibly setting it to off. Also,
An operation degeneration mode 24c that specifies which of the degeneration operations is to be performed is registered in the storage unit 24 in advance.

As the operation degeneration mode 24c, the one registered in advance as a default value in the mobile telephone device 10 may be used as it is, or the owner of the mobile telephone device 10 may use the operation degeneration mode registration unit. It is also possible to register an arbitrary operation degeneration mode at any time using 21c.

Thus, for example, when the detection unit 30 of the mobile telephone device 10 shown in FIG. 4 detects a response signal from the transmitter 40 located in the vicinity, the reception signal determination unit 34 causes the transmission / reception control unit to operate. The warning control signal is transmitted to the warning output unit 21f and the motion degeneration unit 21g via 21i. Warning output unit 21 that has received the warning control signal
In f, as described above, when it is specified that the warning output type 24b is read from the storage unit 24 and is output as audio information as the warning information according to the warning output type 24b, for example. The sound information generation unit 25 converts the audio information 24a ₁ indicating that the warning has been generated into an audible signal and outputs the audio signal from the speaker 25a or the receiver 25b.

On the other hand, the operation degeneration unit 21g that has received the warning control signal is registered in advance in the storage unit 24 in order to degenerate the operation of the mobile telephone device 10 and forcibly control the wireless communication operation. Operation degeneration mode 24c
The mobile phone device 10 is read from the storage unit 24 and based on the operation degeneration mode 24c, the power supply of the mobile telephone device 10, the radio wave output intensity, or the wireless communication processing unit 28 and the voice converting unit 29.
By controlling the power supply of the mobile telephone device 1
The operation of 0 is forcibly degenerated to limit the wireless communication operation.

Next, an embodiment of the above-mentioned warning operation in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention will be described in more detail. That is, not only the notification of the occurrence of the warning state, but also the operation of forcibly degenerating the wireless communication operation of the mobile telephone device 10 that transmits and receives the radio wave signal to and from the base station is described with reference to FIGS. It will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

As described above, FIG. 4 shows an example of the configuration of the mobile telephone system according to the present invention.
Is an operation degeneration mode that degenerates the wireless communication operation of the mobile telephone device 10, and the owner of the mobile telephone device 10
A display unit 22 showing a selection screen for selecting an operation degeneration mode (that is, a control item for controlling a wireless communication operation).
It is one display example. Further, FIG. 7 shows that when the response signal from the transmitter 40 existing in the vicinity is detected, the mobile telephone device 1
9 is a flowchart for explaining an example of an operation in an operation degeneration mode in which the power supply of 0 is forcibly set to off.

Control items for performing control (that is, setting of the operation degeneration mode) on the display unit 22 regarding the wireless communication operation of the mobile telephone device 10 in advance based on an instruction from the owner of the mobile telephone device 10. By displaying the selection screen of (operation degenerate mode), the owner of the mobile phone device 10 selects which control item (operation degenerate mode) to limit the wireless communication operation by using the operation unit 23. can do.

That is, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the power of the mobile telephone device 10 is forcibly set to OFF as a control item (operation degeneration mode) that can be selected by the owner of the mobile telephone device 10. “1. Power supply off control”, “2. Radio wave output intensity control” for controlling the radio communication processing unit 28 to reduce the radio wave output intensity from that during normal operation, or the radio communication processing unit 28 and the voice conversion unit 29. For example, an example is displayed in which three control items (operation degeneration mode) of "3. Call suppression control" for controlling the power supply unit of the circuit unit required for a call and forcibly setting it to OFF are displayed. There is. Although the three control items (operation degeneration mode) are shown in the present embodiment, the mobile telephone system according to the present invention is not limited to such a case, and the operation of the mobile telephone device 10 is degenerated. Control items to be added may be further added or changed.

Here, the control item (operation degeneration mode) selected by the owner of the mobile telephone apparatus 10 is recorded and registered in the operation degeneration mode 24c of the storage unit 24 of the mobile telephone apparatus 10. In the following, as indicated by an underline in FIG. 6, “1. power off control” is selected by the owner of the mobile telephone device 10 and the operation degeneration mode 24 is selected.
The case of being recorded and registered in c will be described. That is,
As a control item (degenerate operation mode), when a response signal from the transmitter 40 existing in the vicinity of the mobile telephone device 10 is detected, the power of the mobile telephone device 10 is turned off, so that the antenna 11 is turned off. The operation in the case of forcibly suppressing the emission of the wireless radio signal will be described as an example based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 using the block diagram of FIG.

First, the mobile telephone device 10 transmits the detection signal of the transmitter 40 from the signal transmitting section 32 (step S).
1). The response signal returned from the transmitter 40 that has received the detection signal is received by the signal receiving unit 33 (step S2) and is the response signal corresponding to the transmitted detection signal in the reception signal determining unit 34. It is determined whether or not (step S3). When it is determined in step S3 that the response signal corresponds to the transmitted detection signal (YES in step S3), the operation degeneration unit 21g is activated via the transmission / reception control unit 21i and stored in the storage unit 24. The operation degeneration mode 24c registered in advance is read.

As described above, in the operation degeneration mode 24c,
When the operation for forcibly turning off the power supply of the mobile telephone device 10 is selected and registered, first, the internal timer 21 provided in the mobile telephone device 10 is first.
Start h (step S4). The internal timer 2
1h is a timer for counting a predetermined time period in order to return the power supply of the mobile telephone device 10 from the off state to the on state, and when the predetermined time period has passed, an internal timer is provided. 21h shows an example in which the value is "0". As the time period counted by the internal timer 21h, the value registered in advance in the internal timer time period 24e of the storage unit 24 as the default value in the mobile telephone device 10 may be used as it is, or
It is also possible for the owner of the mobile telephone device 10 to register an arbitrary value in the internal timer time period 24e at any time using the internal timer time period registration unit 21e.

Then, immediately, the power of the mobile telephone device 10 is forcibly set to be off (only the operation in the standby state during standby is valid, and the power for all other operations is off) (step S5). Thus, the mobile telephone device 1
Even if the power supply required for the minimum operation of 0 is kept on and all the power supplies are not set to off, for example, medical devices and control devices integrated in the transmitter 40 are affected. It is forcibly set to a state where radio waves are not emitted.

After the power of the mobile telephone device 10 is set to off, the internal timer 21h is monitored for elapsed time (step S6). If the internal timer 21h reaches "0" (YES in step S6), the power is turned off. It is determined that the time period forcibly set to off has timed out, the power of the mobile telephone device 10 is returned to on (step S7), the process returns to step S1, and the operation of transmitting the detection signal is temporarily returned. If the transmitter 40 is still present in the vicinity and the response signal is detected again, the same operations as steps S4 to S7 are repeated.

On the other hand, when the transmitter 40 is not present in the vicinity, the response signal is not detected in step S3 (NO in step S3), and thereafter, the transmitter 40 is present in the vicinity. The operation of transmitting the detection signal in steps S1 to S3 is repeated in order to monitor whether or not the state appears again.

Next, an example of a different warning operation in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention will be described. That is, in the present embodiment, the operation when the transmitter side is provided with the information storage unit will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a block configuration diagram showing an example of the configuration of the transmitter when the transmitter has an information storage unit, and FIG. 9 shows the case where the transmitter having the information storage unit is used. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an example of a wireless communication operation in the operation degeneration mode of the mobile telephone device 10.

A transmitter 50 shown in FIG. 8 is a mobile telephone device 1.
A signal receiving unit 51 that receives a detection signal from 0 or a read signal for reading information such as the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a stored in the information storage unit 53, and information that stores information such as the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a. Storage unit 5
3, a signal transmission unit 54 for transmitting a response signal to the detection signal and information stored in the information storage unit 53, and a control unit 52 for controlling the operation of the entire transmitter 50. A non-contact type IC tag can be considered as an example.

The operation degeneration instruction mode 53a stored in the information storage unit 53 is for issuing an instruction to degenerate the operation of the mobile telephone apparatus 10 and suppress the radio communication operation. This is information having the same configuration as the operation degeneration mode 24c stored in the storage unit 24 of the device 10. That is, the wireless communication operation of the mobile telephone device 10 is actively controlled from the transmitter 50 side with respect to the mobile telephone device 10 near the transmitter 50.

When the reception signal discriminating unit 34 of the detecting unit 30 of the mobile telephone apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 4 discriminates that the transmitter 50 exists in the vicinity by the response signal from the transmitter 50, the transmission is started. A read signal for reading the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a of the information storage unit 53 included in the machine 50 is transmitted from the signal transmission unit 32, and according to the read signal, via the control unit 52 of the transmitter 50, Transmitter 50
The operation degeneration instruction mode 53a of the information storage unit 53 is read and returned from the signal transmission unit 54 to the mobile telephone device 10.

In the mobile telephone device 10, based on the control items (operation degeneration mode) registered in the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a of the returned information storage unit 53 of the transmitter 50, the flow chart shown in FIG. The same operation will be performed.

In this embodiment, the operation degeneration instruction mode 5 stored in the information storage unit 53 of the transmitter 50 is used.
3a is read from the information recording unit 53 based on the read signal transmitted from the mobile telephone device 10 after the return of the response signal, and is transmitted to the mobile telephone device 10. The mobile telephone system according to the present invention is
It is not limited to such a case. That is, in the transmitter 50, after the response signal is returned, the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a may be automatically read from the information recording unit 53 and transmitted to the mobile telephone device 10, or
Included in the response signal itself (ie, as the response signal),
The operation degeneration instruction mode 53a may be transmitted.

In the flowchart of FIG. 9, first, the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a stored in the information storage section 53 of the transmitter 50 is read out and transmitted to the mobile telephone device 10 (step S11). Whether or not a control item (operation degeneration mode) instructing to degenerate the operation of the mobile telephone device 10 and suppress the wireless communication operation is registered in the transmitted operation degeneration instruction mode 53a. The operation degeneration unit 21g of the mobile telephone device 10 makes a determination (step S12). If a control item (operation degeneration mode) for degrading the operation of the mobile telephone device 10 and suppressing the wireless communication operation is not set in the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a (NO in step S13), the movement is performed. When the operation of degenerating the operation of the telephone device 10 and suppressing the wireless communication operation is unnecessary, the operation degenerating unit 21g of the mobile telephone device 10 ends without performing any control (step S18). To do.

When a control item (operation degeneration mode) is set in the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a to degenerate the operation of the mobile telephone device 10 and control the wireless communication operation (YES in step S13). When it is determined that the control item (operation degenerate mode) degenerates the operation of the mobile telephone device 10 and the instruction to suppress the wireless communication operation is correct, and it is determined that it is not correct ( In the case of "determination error" in step S14), the operation degeneration unit 21g of the mobile telephone device 10 ends without performing any control (step S18).

The power of the mobile telephone device 10 is set as a control item (degeneration mode) for instructing the operation degeneration instruction data 53a to degenerate the operation of the mobile telephone device 10 and control the wireless communication operation. When it is set that the power should be forcibly set to OFF (in the case of "power supply control" in step S14), the same operation as in the case of the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 is performed, and the movement shown in FIG. The power supply control unit 21g ₁ of the telephone device 10 forcibly turns off the power supply until a predetermined time period elapses (step S15).

Also, the radio wave of the mobile telephone apparatus 10 is set as a control item (operation degeneration mode) for instructing the operation degeneration instruction data 53a to degenerate the operation of the mobile telephone apparatus 10 and control the wireless communication operation. When it is set that the radio wave output intensity of the signal should be controlled to be reduced (in the case of "radio wave output intensity control" of step S14), the radio wave output intensity control unit 2 of the mobile telephone device 10 shown in FIG.
1 g ₂ transmits a control signal for controlling the radio wave output intensity to the wireless communication processing unit 28 and outputs the radio wave output intensity of the radio wave signal output to the outside to, for example, 1 / the maximum output intensity.
The radio wave output intensity designated by the transmitter 50 side is about 2 or 1/3, or the mobile telephone device 10 concerned.
The radio wave output intensity specified by the reduced radio wave intensity 24d stored in the storage unit 24 is reduced and set (step S16).

As described above, the setting of the radio wave output intensity is separately performed by the owner of the mobile telephone device 10 by using the reduced radio wave intensity registration unit 21d of the mobile telephone device 10 to reduce the radio wave in the storage unit 24. It is also possible to register in advance to the strength 24d. Furthermore, in the case where the control of the radio wave output intensity is set in the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a in the information storage unit 53 of the transmitter 50 and the information indicating the radio wave output intensity to be reduced is also stored. Indicates that the radio wave output intensity stored in the information storage unit 53 is the operation degeneration instruction mode 5
It is also possible to read out together with 3a and reduce the radio wave output intensity of the mobile telephone device 10.

Further, as the operation degeneration instruction mode 53a of the information storage unit 53 on the transmitter 50 side, only the setting for instructing the control of the radio wave output intensity is stored, and the information indicating the radio wave output intensity to be reduced is stored. If not,
The value stored in the reduced radio field intensity 24d of the mobile telephone device 10 (default value or the mobile telephone device 10
Based on the value registered by the owner), an operation of setting the output intensity by reducing it to 1/2 or 1/3 of the maximum output intensity is performed.

Further, as a control item (operation degeneration mode) for instructing the operation degeneration instruction data 53a to degenerate the operation of the mobile telephone device 10 and control the wireless communication operation, the wireless communication of the mobile telephone device 10 is performed. When an instruction to control the processing unit 28 and the voice conversion unit 29 to stop the supply of power required for a call is set (in the case of “call control” in step S14), the movement shown in FIG. The call control unit 21g ₃ of the telephone device 10 includes the wireless communication processing unit 2
8 and the voice conversion unit 29 to transmit a control signal for stopping the power supply for a call, and the wireless communication processing unit 28
Also, the supply of the power supply for call of the voice converting unit 29 is stopped to suppress the call operation (step S17).

Next, an embodiment of a different warning operation in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention will be described. That is, in this embodiment, an example is shown in which the transmitter is provided with an active element capable of reacting to a radio signal of a specific frequency band among radio signals from the outside. That is, in such an active element, the frequency band of the radio signal received from the outside is often limited. Therefore, in order to transmit in response to each of the received signals in the plurality of frequency bands, it is necessary to configure a transmitter having a plurality of active elements.

Thus, in the case of a transmitter that receives detection signals from a plurality of mobile telephone devices 10 having different frequency bands as the detection signals transmitted from the mobile telephone device 10, The transmitter is provided with a plurality of active elements that respond to the frequency band of the detection signal from the mobile telephone device 10. For example, 8
When the radio signals of both the mobile telephone device using the 00 MHz band and the mobile telephone device using the 1.5 GHz band are used as the respective detection signals, the detection signals of the respective frequency bands are received. A transmitter including two active elements having a receiving unit and a transmitting unit capable of transmitting a response signal of each frequency band generated based on the received detection signal of each frequency band is configured. It will be. Since the active element can be configured in a small size, the size of the transmitter itself does not increase even if a plurality of active elements are used, not limited to two.

Further, an embodiment of a different warning operation in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention will be described. In any of the embodiments, the transmitter as described above is configured to be small and lightweight and does not require an operating power supply. Therefore, in this embodiment, for example, only various medical devices installed in a hospital are used. Not like a pacemaker,
Even for a small medical device carried by a person, it is possible to prevent the transmitter from not being attached or forgetting to carry it by integrating the transmitter with the medical device.

[0103]

That is, as in a hospital or the like, even if a medical device is installed and the mobile phone device is not used in a specific place other than a specific place, as long as it has a transmitter,
In any place, a mobile telephone device such as a mobile phone or a PHS phone located near the owner of the transmitter can detect the transmitter in the vicinity, and such a situation occurs. In this case, the operation of the mobile telephone device is forcibly degenerated so as not to affect the surroundings, and the power supply of the mobile telephone device is controlled to be turned off.
By controlling to reduce the radio wave output intensity or controlling the power supply of the circuit part used for a telephone call, it is possible to regulate the radio communication operation and prevent the occurrence of radio wave interference. At the same time, it is possible to automatically issue a warning display to the owner of the mobile telephone device and the surrounding people.
