[0045]
Further, to the ring short-range wireless interface 33, an antenna (hereinafter, referred to as a ring short-range communication antenna) 34 for communicating with the mobile phone 2 is connected.
[0046]
In this case, the interrupt detection unit 20 of the mobile phone 2 monitors the presence or absence of an interrupt operation when the mobile phone 2 is activated by being instructed to turn on the power via the operation unit 14 and enters a standby state, When the interruption operation is detected in the standby state, the detection result is transmitted to the use function management unit 21 via the telephone control unit 10 as an interruption operation detection signal together with the content of the interruption operation.
[0047]
When the interrupt function detection unit 20 receives the interrupt operation detection signal from the interrupt detection unit 20 via the telephone control unit 10, the use function management unit 21 starts the personal authentication process and sends a search signal to the telephone short-range wireless interface 22 in a predetermined manner. By performing transmission processing and transmitting from the telephone short-range communication antenna 23, the mobile phone 2 is centered within a communication range (hereinafter, referred to as a short-range communication range) compliant with a predetermined short-range wireless communication standard. It is searched whether the personal authentication ring 3 exists.
[0048]
As a result, if the response signal is not returned from the personal authentication ring 3 within a predetermined time after the transmission of the search signal, the use function management unit 21 determines that the mobile phone 2 is located relatively far away from the authorized user, It is determined that the personal authentication ring 3 does not exist within the communication range, and the interrupt detection unit 20 waits for the interrupt operation to be detected again.
[0049]
As shown in FIG. 2, the ring control unit 30 of the personal authentication ring 3 uses an electromagnetic coupling method with the mobile phone 2 when the personal authentication ring 3 exists within the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2. The search signal transmitted from the mobile phone 2 is received by the ring short-range communication antenna 34 and subjected to a predetermined reception process in the ring short-range wireless interface 33 to be captured.
[0050]
Then, in response to receiving the search signal, ring controller 30 determines that personal authentication ring 3 is present within the short-range communication range of mobile phone 2 (that is, the user of mobile phone 2 removes personal authentication ring 3). The ring short-range wireless interface 33 performs predetermined transmission processing on the reply signal for notifying that the user is wearing the ring, and transmits the signal from the ring short-range communication antenna.
[0051]
The use function management unit 21 of the mobile phone 2 receives the reply signal transmitted from the personal authentication ring 3 by the telephone short-range communication antenna 23, performs predetermined reception processing in the telephone short-range wireless interface 22, and captures the response signal. Thus, it is recognized that the personal authentication ring 3 capable of short-range communication exists within the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2.
[0052]
Then, in response to the reception of the reply signal, the use function management unit 21 performs a predetermined transmission process on the telephone short-range wireless interface 22 with an ID request signal requesting a user ID unique to the authorized user who owns the mobile phone 2. From the telephone short-range communication antenna 23.
[0053]
In addition, the ring control unit 30 of the personal authentication ring 3 receives the ID request signal transmitted from the mobile phone 2 by the ring short-range communication antenna 34, performs predetermined reception processing in the ring short-range wireless interface 33, and captures the received signal. .
[0054]
Then, the ring control unit 30 reads the user ID stored in advance from the ring storage unit 31 in response to the ID request signal, and uses the read user ID as an ID notification signal in the ring short-range wireless interface 33 at a predetermined rate. After performing transmission processing, the ring is transmitted from the short-range communication antenna 34.
[0055]
The use function management unit 21 of the mobile phone 2 receives the ID notification signal transmitted from the personal authentication ring 3 by the telephone short-range communication antenna 23, performs predetermined reception processing in the telephone short-range wireless interface 22, and captures it. .
[0056]
In response to the ID notification signal, the use function management unit 21 reads the user ID unique to the regular user stored in advance from the telephone storage unit 12 via the telephone control unit 10 and stores the read user ID. The user ID is compared with the user ID obtained based on the ID notification signal.
[0057]
As a result, if the user ID stored in the telephone storage unit 12 matches the user ID acquired from the personal authentication ring 3, the use function management unit 21 determines that the user currently using the mobile telephone 2 Is a legitimate user wearing the personal authentication ring 3.
[0058]
In this way, the use function management unit 21 personally authenticates the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user, thereby permitting use of all functions achievable by the mobile phone 2 and allowing the authorized user to use the mobile phone 2. Is used as desired.
[0059]
If the user ID stored in the telephone storage unit 12 does not match the user ID obtained from the personal authentication ring 3, the use function management unit 21 determines whether the user currently using the mobile telephone 2 It is determined that the user is different from the authorized user (ie, a third party).
[0060]
In this way, if the user of the mobile phone 2 cannot personally authenticate the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user, the usage function manager 21 limits the use of all functions that can be realized by the mobile phone 2.
[0061]
Thus, the use function management unit 21 prevents the third party from using the mobile phone 2 improperly, and also holds the mobile phone 2 in the mobile phone 2 (that is, stores it in the phone storage unit 12). It prevents leakage of various personal information including display information and audio information.
[0062]
Actually, even if the mobile phone 2 is activated in response to the power-on instruction and enters the standby state, the use function management unit 21 performs the personal authentication process if the interrupt detection unit 20 does not detect the interrupt operation. I try not to do it.
[0063]
Thereby, the use function management unit 21 prevents a significant consumption of the battery power by periodically searching for the personal authentication ring 3 during the standby state, and reduces the battery power to the function of the mobile phone 2. Is effectively used to achieve
[0064]
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the mobile phone 2 is activated in response to the power-on instruction and enters the standby state, the use function management unit 21 searches for the personal authentication ring 3 until the interruption operation is detected. Is not performed, it is difficult to determine whether or not the user who has activated the mobile phone 2 is an authorized user. Therefore, a mode for specifying a function that can be realized in accordance with the result of the personal authentication process (hereinafter, referred to as a mode) , Which is referred to as a realization function specifying mode) is set to a confidential mode M1 for restricting the use of all the functions which is the initial mode, and the realization of all the functions in the mobile phone 2 is restricted.
[0065]
When the interrupt operation is detected by the interrupt detection unit 20 in the standby state, the use function management unit 21 starts the personal authentication process, and the personal authentication ring 3 exists within the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2. A search is performed to determine whether or not to do so.
[0066]
As a result, if the personal authentication ring 3 does not exist within the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2, the use function management unit 21 cannot perform personal authentication as to that the user of the mobile phone 2 is an authorized user. The user is determined to be a third person other than the authorized user, and the state of the secret mode M1 is continued.
[0067]
Further, the use function management unit 21 holds the user ID unique to the authorized user even when the other device that is in the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2 and that can perform the short-range communication. In this case, the user of the mobile phone 2 cannot be personally authenticated as an authorized user, so that the state of the secret mode M1 is continued in this case as well.
[0068]
On the other hand, when the personal authentication ring 3 exists within the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2 and the use function management unit 21 can personally authenticate the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user, By setting the realization function specifying mode to the full function use permission mode M2 for permitting the use of all functions instead of the confidential mode M1, the mobile phone 2 is brought into a state where all functions can be realized.
[0069]
As described above, the use function management unit 21 determines that the personal authentication ring 3 and the mobile phone 2 are relatively close to each other by using the mobile phone 2 by the authorized user wearing the personal authentication ring 3. Only when it exists within the communication range, it is realized by using all of the functions.
[0070]
When the use function management unit 21 is set to the all-function use permission mode M2, the search for whether or not the personal authentication ring 3 is within the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2 is periodically performed at predetermined time intervals. Then, the state of the all-function use permission mode M2 is continued as long as the personal authentication ring 3 is present in the short-range communication range and the user of the mobile phone 2 can be personally authenticated as an authorized user. .
[0071]
By the way, when the personal authentication ring 3 is removed from the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2 in the all-function usage permission mode M2, the usage function management unit 21 can personally authenticate the authorized user who uses the mobile phone 2 at that time. Can not.
[0072]
However, at this time, the use function management unit 21 sets the realized function specifying mode to the hold mode M3 for holding the restriction on the use of all functions instead of the all function use permission mode M2, and temporarily shifts to the confidential mode M1. , The mobile phone 2 is kept allowed to use all functions.
[0073]
When the use function management unit 21 sets the hold mode M3 instead of the all function use permission mode M2, the use function management unit 21 performs a predetermined search to determine whether or not the personal authentication ring 3 is within the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2. It is performed periodically at time intervals, and the personal authentication ring 3 is set within a preset hold mode duration (for example, 5 seconds) from the time when the hold mode M3 is set (hereinafter referred to as the hold mode setting time). If the user of the mobile phone 2 enters the short-range communication range and can be personally authenticated as an authorized user, the mode is set to the all-function use permission mode M2 instead of the hold mode M3.
[0074]
Accordingly, even if the personal authentication ring 3 is temporarily unintentionally temporarily out of the short-range communication range due to a change of the mobile phone 2 by the authorized user and the like, the use function management unit 21 executes the function in the all-function use permission mode M2. To prevent interruption of functions such as telephone calls and transmission / reception of e-mails in the middle, thereby preventing the functions being realized from being interrupted halfway without the intention of an authorized user and making the mobile phone 2 unusable. To prevent.
[0075]
Further, the use function management unit 21 determines that the user of the mobile phone 2 is an authorized user while the personal authentication ring 3 is kept out of the short-distance communication range even if the hold mode continuation time has elapsed from the hold mode setting time. If authentication is not possible, the secret mode M1 is set instead of the hold mode M3, and the use of all functions of the mobile phone 2 is restricted.
[0076]
When the use function management unit 21 sets the secret mode M1 instead of the hold mode M3, the personal authentication process is not performed until the interrupt operation is detected by the interrupt detection unit 20 again. To preserve.
[0077]
In this way, the use function management unit 21 basically conceals the settings of the confidential mode M1, the all-function use permission mode M2, and the hold mode M3 that constitute the realized function specifying mode in accordance with the presence or absence of the personal authentication of the authorized user. From the setting of the mode M1, all the functions are permitted, the mode M2, the hold mode M3, and the confidential mode M1 are cyclically changed in the order of setting. Even if the mode is set to the mode M3, if the authorized user can be again personally authenticated within the hold mode continuation time from the hold mode setting time, the mode is returned to the all-function use permission mode M2.
[0078]
Here, as shown in FIG. 4, in the all-function use permission mode M2, the use function management unit 21 performs all functions of the mobile phone 2 (ie, a calling function and a receiving function for calling and e-mail, a calling function, a mail creating function). , A mail browsing function, an Internet use function, an address book creation function, an address book browsing function, and other various functions).
[0079]
The use function management unit 21 basically allows all the functions of the mobile phone 2 to be used in the hold mode M3, but allows the authorized user to arbitrarily select in advance whether or not to use each function. You have set.
[0080]
Accordingly, the use function management unit 21 determines that the personal authentication ring 3 has been removed from the short-range communication range, for example, from the authorized user of the mobile phone 2 to a third party who does not want to use the mobile phone 2. When the mode shifts from the all-function use permission mode M2 to the hold mode M3, it is possible to prevent the unauthorized use of the mobile phone 2 by the third party and the leakage of the personal information of the authorized user to the third party.
[0081]
In addition to this, the use function management unit 21 does not execute the function selected by the authorized user in the hold mode M3 in the same manner as in the case of executing the function in the all function use permission mode M2. From the function use permission mode M2, it is also possible to select and set whether or not to use a disguise function for disguising display information as personal information to be continuously displayed.
[0082]
As a result, the use function management unit 21 changes the hold mode M3 instead of the all-function use permission mode M2 because the personal authentication ring 3 is removed from the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2 from the authorized user to the third party. When the setting is set to "3", the display information displayed up to that point (that is, the display information displayed according to the function executed in the all-function use permission mode M2) is disguised and displayed. Do not be suspicious of hiding important display information.
[0083]
Therefore, the use function management unit 21 deletes the display information displayed on the telephone display unit 13 in the all-function use permission mode M2 at the time of shifting to the hold mode M3, for example. This prevents the display information displayed on the telephone display unit 13 from being stolen at the time of shifting to the all-function use permission mode M2.
[0084]
Furthermore, the use function management unit 21 sets the use of all functions in the confidential mode M1 so as to restrict the use of the functions and prevent the functions from being realized, or display the mail display function and the address book display function on the telephone display unit 13. Only for the function of displaying information, the legitimate user is allowed to select whether or not to use the disguise function of disguising and displaying the display information (e-mail text and address book).
[0085]
Thus, the use function management unit 21 prevents, for example, the mobile phone 2 from being used improperly by a third party and leaking personal information including display information of the authorized user to the third party.
[0086]
Incidentally, in the all-function use permission mode M2, the telephone control unit 10 reads out the use function setting screen data stored in advance from the telephone storage unit 12 in response to the use function setting request input through the operation unit 14. By transmitting the data to the telephone display unit 13, a use function setting screen (not shown) based on the use function setting screen data is displayed on the telephone display unit 13.
[0087]
In this state, the telephone control unit 10 selects the use of all functions and the impersonation function for the hold mode M3 and the confidential mode M1 arbitrarily on the use function setting screen via the operation unit 14, and the selection is made. Information indicating whether or not all functions and impersonation functions are used (hereinafter, this is referred to as function selection information) is notified to the used function management unit 21.
[0088]
Thereby, the use function management unit 21 sets the function selection information for the hold mode M3 and the confidential mode M1 together with the all function use permission information for permitting the use of all functions in the all function use permission mode M2 in the list shown in FIG. Such a use function management table is stored in a memory (not shown) in the use function management unit 21.
[0089]
In practice, when the cellular phone 2 is started by receiving an instruction to turn on the power supply via the operation unit 14, the telephone control unit 10 reads the mode setting processing program from the telephone storage unit 12, and reads the read mode setting processing program. The use function management unit 21 is controlled according to the following.
[0090]
As a result, when the mobile phone 2 is activated, the use function manager 21 enters the mode setting procedure RT1 shown in FIG. 5 from the start step under the control of the phone controller 10 in accordance with the mode setting processing program. Move to step SP1.
[0091]
In step SP1, the use function management unit 21 determines whether the user who activated the mobile phone 2 is an authorized user or not at this time. The mode is set to M1, the setting content (that is, the secret mode) is notified to the telephone control unit 10, and the process proceeds to step SP2.
[0092]
In step SP2, the use function management unit 21 waits for the interruption operation to be detected by the interruption detection unit 20, and provides an interruption operation detection signal when the interruption operation is detected by the interruption detection unit 20. Then, the process moves to step SP3.
[0093]
In step SP3, the utilization function management unit 21 determines whether the interruption operation detected by the interruption detection unit 20 is based on the interruption operation detection signal. It is determined whether the operation is an operation.
[0094]
If a negative result is obtained in step SP3, this means that the interrupt operation is an interrupt operation for using the mobile phone 2, unlike the operation of the operation unit 14 for inputting the power-off command. At this time, the used function manager 21 proceeds to the subsequent mode transition processing routine SRT10.
[0095]
At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the used function management unit 21 enters the mode transition processing routine SRT10 from the start step and proceeds to step SP11, which measures the hold mode continuation time provided internally in step SP11. (Hereinafter, referred to as elapsed time) of the counter (not shown), and proceeds to step SP12.
[0096]
In step SP12, the use function management unit 21 executes the short-range wireless communication for the personal authentication process, and transmits the search signal via the telephone short-range wireless interface 22 and the telephone short-range communication antenna 23 in order, so that the mobile phone Then, it is determined whether or not the personal authentication ring 3 exists within the short-range communication range 2 and the process proceeds to step SP13.
[0097]
In step SP13, the use function management unit 21 determines whether or not the user of the mobile phone 2 has been able to personally authenticate as an authorized user at this time.
[0098]
If an affirmative result is obtained in step SP13, this means that the search signal is transmitted, and the personal authentication ring 3 is present in the short-range communication range, so that the personal authentication process described above with reference to FIG. This indicates that the user No. 2 has been personally authenticated as an authorized user. At this time, the use function management unit 21 proceeds to step SP14.
[0099]
In step SP14, the use function management unit 21 sets the all-function use permission mode M2 instead of the confidential mode M1 at this point, and proceeds to step SP15.
[0100]
Then, in step SP15, the use function management unit 21 notifies the telephone control unit 10 that the all function use permission mode M2 has been set, and then returns to step SP12 after a predetermined delay time has elapsed.
[0101]
In this way, the use function management unit 21 again executes the short-range wireless communication for personal authentication in step SP12, and while the personal user of the mobile phone 2 can be personally authenticated as an authorized user, the use function management unit 21 returns to steps SP12 to SP13. -The processing of -SP14-SP15 is cyclically repeated to continue the state of the all-function use permission mode M2.
[0102]
Then, when cyclically repeating the processing of steps SP12-SP13-SP14-SP15, the used function management unit 21 returns to step SP12 after a predetermined delay time has elapsed from step SP15, thereby returning to step SP12-SP13-SP14. -A series of processing of SP15 is periodically executed at a predetermined delay time interval, and thus the power consumption of the battery and the processing load of the use function management unit 21 are reduced by the delay time.
[0103]
By the way, if a negative result is obtained in step SP13 described above, this means that the search signal is transmitted, and the personal authentication ring 3 does not exist within the short-range communication range. Indicates that personal authentication could not be performed. At this time, the available function management unit 21 proceeds to step SP16.
[0104]
In step SP16, the used function management unit 21 determines whether or not the realized function specifying mode at this time is the secret mode M1.
[0105]
If an affirmative result is obtained in step SP16, this means that the realized function specifying mode at this time remains the confidential mode M1 set in step SP1 described above, and personal authentication of the authorized user could not be performed. 2 indicates that the third party is improperly used, and at this time, the use function management unit 21 proceeds to step SP17.
[0106]
In step SP17, the used function management unit 21 continues the state of the confidential mode M1 set in step SP1 described above, and notifies the telephone control unit 10 of the continuation of the confidential mode M1, and after a predetermined delay time has elapsed. It returns to step SP2.
[0107]
If a negative result is obtained in step SP16, this indicates that the realized function specifying mode at this time is the all-function use permission mode M2 or the hold mode M3. At this time, the use function management unit 21 proceeds to step SP18. Move on.
[0108]
Here, if the realized function specifying mode at the time of step SP16 is the all-function use permission mode M2, the used function management unit 21 determines in step SP18 that the authorized user cannot personally authenticate the authorized user in step SP13. The mode is set to the hold mode M3 instead of the use permission mode M2, the elapsed time is started by an internal counter, and the routine goes to step SP19.
[0109]
Then, in step SP19, the use function management unit 21 notifies the telephone control unit 10 that the hold mode M3 has been set, and proceeds to step SP20.
[0110]
In step SP20, the use function management unit 21 determines whether or not the elapsed time measured by the internal counter has reached the hold mode continuation time.
[0111]
If a negative result is obtained in step SP20, this means that the elapsed time counted from the hold mode setting time has not yet reached the hold mode continuation time, and at this time, the use function management unit 21 After the elapse of the delay time, the process returns to step SP12.
[0112]
If the realized function specifying mode at the time of step SP16 is the hold mode M3, the use function management unit 21 changes the state of the hold mode M3 in step SP18 because the authorized user could not be personally authenticated in step SP13. At the same time, the elapsed time is counted by the internal counter, and the routine goes to step SP19.
[0113]
Then, in step SP19, the use function management unit 21 notifies the telephone control unit 10 of the continuation of the hold mode M3, and proceeds to step SP20.
[0114]
Thus, in step SP20, the used function management unit 21 determines whether the elapsed time measured by the internal counter has reached the hold mode continuation time.
[0115]
In this way, when the elapsed time measured by the internal counter does not reach the hold mode continuation time and obtains a negative result in step SP20, the use function management unit 21 returns to step SP12 again to return to the personal authentication process. Steps are performed until short-range wireless communication is performed and the authorized user can be personally authenticated within the hold mode duration, or until the elapsed time reaches the hold mode duration without personal authentication of the authorized user. The processing of SP12-SP13-SP16-SP18-SP19-SP20 is cyclically repeated to maintain the state of the hold mode M3.
[0116]
Then, the usage function management unit 21 obtains a positive result in step SP13 when the authorized user can be individually authenticated within the hold mode continuation time, so that the cyclic function of steps SP12-SP13-SP16-SP18-SP19-SP20 is performed. Then, the process goes out of the routine and proceeds to step SP14, where the all-function use permission mode M2 is set again in place of the hold mode M3, and the elapsed time measured by the internal counter is reset.
[0117]
When the elapsed time reaches the hold mode continuation time without being able to personally authenticate the authorized user, the use function management unit 21 obtains a positive result in step SP20, so that steps SP12-SP13-SP16-SP18-SP19- The process exits from the cyclic processing of SP20 and moves to step SP21.
[0118]
At this time, in step SP21, the use function management unit 21 sets the secret mode M1 instead of the hold mode M3, resets the elapsed time measured by the internal counter, and proceeds to step SP17.
[0119]
Incidentally, the usage function management unit 21 proceeds to step SP2 after a predetermined delay time has elapsed from step SP17, and when the processing of steps SP12-SP13-SP16-SP18-SP19-SP20 is cyclically repeated, the usage function management unit 21 determines the predetermined time from step SP20. By returning to step SP12 after the elapse of the delay time, the mode transition processing routine SRT10 when the third party is using the mobile phone 2 illegally, and the steps SP12-SP13-SP16 in the mode transition processing routine SRT10 The series of processing of -SP18-SP19-SP20 is periodically executed at a predetermined delay time interval, and thus the power consumption of the battery and the processing load of the use function management unit 21 are reduced by the delay time.
[0120]
In this way, the use function management unit 21 executes the personal authentication process for determining whether or not the user of the mobile phone 2 is an authorized user in the mode transition processing routine SRT10, and according to the execution result, the confidential mode M1 The mode is appropriately set to the function use permission mode M2 and the hold mode M3, and when the mode is set to the secret mode M1, the process returns to step SP2 (FIG. 5) and waits for the interruption operation to be detected again.
[0121]
Then, when an interrupt operation different from the operation of the operation unit 14 for inputting the power-off command is detected in step SP2 of the confidential mode M1, the usage function management unit 21 proceeds to the mode transition processing routine SRT10 each time.
[0122]
If a positive result is obtained in step SP3 (FIG. 5), this means that the interruption operation detected by the interruption detection unit 20 is performed by operating the operation unit 14 to which the power-off command for stopping the activation of the mobile phone 2 is input. At this time, the use function management unit 21 proceeds to step SP4 and ends the mode setting processing procedure RT1.
[0123]
By the way, when the cellular phone 2 is activated by an instruction to turn on the power via the operation unit 14, the telephone control unit 10 stores the telephone memory separately from the control of the use function management unit 21 described above with reference to FIGS. The function realization processing program is read from the unit 12, and functions available in the secret mode M1, the all-function use permission mode M2, and the hold mode M3 are realized according to the read function realization program.
[0124]
That is, when the mobile phone 2 is activated, the telephone control section 10 proceeds to a step SP31 following the function realization processing procedure RT2 shown in FIG.
[0125]
In step SP31, the telephone controller 10 determines whether or not the realized function specifying mode at this time is the secret mode M1.
[0126]
If a positive result is obtained in step SP31, this means that the currently used function specifying mode has been notified from the use function management unit 21 as the secret mode M1, and at this time, the telephone control unit 10 Move on to SP32.
[0127]
In step SP32, has the telephone control unit 10 been requested to realize various functions such as the arrival of a call and an e-mail and the input of a command for executing a process corresponding to the various functions via the operation unit 14? Determine whether or not.
[0128]
If an affirmative result is obtained in step SP32, this means that there is an incoming call or an e-mail, or a command to execute a process corresponding to various functions is input via the operation unit 14, and the like. This indicates that the realization of the function has been requested, and at this time, the telephone controller 10 proceeds to step SP33.
[0129]
In step SP33, the telephone control unit 10 reads the function selection information for the confidential mode M1 from the use function management unit 21, and is set so as to restrict the use of all functions in the confidential mode M1 according to the content of the read function selection information. If so, all instructions for executing a process corresponding to various functions input via the operation unit 14 and incoming calls for calling and e-mail are invalidated, and the process proceeds to step SP34 without realizing all functions. .
[0130]
In step SP33, the telephone control unit 10 determines whether to use the impersonation function in the confidential mode M1 according to the contents of the function selection information for the confidential mode M1 read from the use function management unit 21. Display information (e-mail, address book, incoming call history, etc.) for display notification information (e.g., the name, telephone number, and mail address of the other party) for incoming mail notification and various information input via the operation unit 14. The outgoing call history, etc.) is displayed on the telephone display unit 13 in place of the forgery display information stored in the telephone storage unit 12 in advance in association with the type of the display information, so that the user of the mobile telephone 2 at this point in time is displayed. The process proceeds to step SP34 after displaying the disguise display information as if it were recognized as genuine display information.
[0131]
Incidentally, if a negative result is obtained in step SP32, this means that the realization of various functions is not required, and at this time, the telephone control unit 10 proceeds to step SP34.
[0132]
In step SP34, the telephone control unit 10 determines whether or not a power-off command for stopping the activation of the mobile telephone 2 has been input via the operation unit 14.
[0133]
If a negative result is obtained in step SP34, this means that the power-off command has not been input through the operation unit 14, and the telephone control unit 10 returns to step SP31.
[0134]
In this way, the telephone control unit 10 responds to requests for realizing various functions while cyclically repeating the processing of steps SP31-SP32-SP33-SP34 while the secret mode M1 is set. The processing is executed according to the setting contents of the used function.
[0135]
If a negative result is obtained in step SP31, this indicates that the currently used function specifying mode has been notified from the used function management unit 21 as the all-function use permission mode M2 or the hold mode M3. At this time, the telephone controller 10 proceeds to step SP35.
[0136]
In step SP35, the telephone control unit 10 determines whether or not the realized function specifying mode at this time is the all-function use permission mode M2.
[0137]
If a positive result is obtained in step SP35, this means that the currently used function specifying mode is notified from the used function management unit 21 to be the all-function use permission mode M2. 10 moves to step SP36.
[0138]
In step SP36, the telephone control unit 10 determines whether the realization of various functions has been requested.
[0139]
If an affirmative result is obtained in step SP36, this means that there is an incoming call or an e-mail, or a command for executing a process corresponding to various functions is input via the operation unit 14, and the like, and the like. This indicates that the function has been requested, and at this time, the telephone controller 10 proceeds to step SP37.
[0140]
In step SP37, the telephone control unit 10 reads out all function use permission information for the all function use permission mode M2 from the use function management unit 21.
[0141]
Then, the telephone control unit 10 enables all requests for realization of various functions such as an incoming call for e-mail, an instruction for executing a process corresponding to various functions via the operation unit 14, and the like, and The process according to the request for realizing the various functions is executed, and the process proceeds to step SP34.
[0142]
Incidentally, if a negative result is obtained in step SP36, this means that the realization of various functions is not required, and at this time, the telephone control unit 10 proceeds to step SP34.
[0143]
In this way, the telephone control unit 10 responds to the request for realizing various functions while cyclically repeating the processing of steps SP31-SP35-SP36-SP37-SP34 while the all-function use permission mode M2 is set. , All of the functions perform processing according to the function.
[0144]
Further, if a negative result is obtained in step SP35, this indicates that the currently used function specifying mode has been notified from the use function management unit 21 as the hold mode M3, and at this time, the telephone control unit 10 Move on to SP38.
[0145]
In step SP38, the telephone control unit 10 determines whether the realization of various functions has been requested.
[0146]
If an affirmative result is obtained in step SP38, this means that there is an incoming call or an e-mail, or a command for executing a process corresponding to various functions is input via the operation unit 14, and the like. This indicates that the function has been requested, and the telephone control unit 10 proceeds to step SP39.
[0147]
In step SP39, the telephone control unit 10 reads out the function selection information for the hold mode M3 from the use function management unit 21 and uses the function selection information in advance in the request for realizing various functions according to the content of the read out function selection information. Only the request corresponding to the function selected in (1) is validated, the processing corresponding to the validated request is executed, and the routine goes to step SP34.
[0148]
Further, in step SP39, the telephone control unit 10 may use the impersonation function in advance in the hold mode M3 if it is set based on the contents of the function selection information for the hold mode M3 read from the use function management unit 21. At this time, the display information at the time of realizing the function selected is displayed on the telephone display unit 13 instead of the disguise display information previously stored in the telephone storage unit 12 in association with the display information. The user of the mobile phone 2 is shown disguise display information as if recognizing the display information as genuine display information, and the process proceeds to step SP34.
[0149]
Incidentally, if a negative result is obtained in step SP38, this means that the realization of various functions is not required, and at this time, the telephone control section 10 proceeds to step SP34.
[0150]
In this way, while the telephone control unit 10 is set to the hold mode M3, the telephone control unit 10 responds to the request for realizing various functions while cyclically repeating the processing of steps SP31-SP35-SP38-SP39-SP34. The processing is executed according to the setting contents of the use function for M3.
[0151]
If a positive result is obtained in step SP34, this indicates that the power-off command has been input via the operation unit 14. At this time, the telephone control unit 10 proceeds to step SP40 and executes the function realization processing procedure RT2. finish.
[0152]
As a result, when the use of all functions is disabled in the confidential mode M1, the telephone control unit 10 can individually authenticate the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user and shift to the all-function use permission mode M2. Then, use of all functions is enabled at that time.
[0153]
When the display information for impersonation is displayed on the telephone display unit 13 in the confidential mode M1, the telephone control unit 10 can personally authenticate the user of the mobile telephone 2 as an authorized user, and is permitted to use all functions. When the mode is shifted to the mode M2, the display information for disguise displayed on the telephone display unit 13 up to that point is returned to the original display information and displayed.
[0154]
Further, when the function is realized in the all-functions use permission mode M2, the telephone control unit 10 cannot hold the personal authentication of the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user and shifts to the hold mode M3. According to the setting contents of the use function for the mode M3, the function realized up to that point is continuously realized, or the realization state of the function realized up to that point is changed to the all-function use permission mode M2 thereafter. In consideration of a possibility of returning to the above, the function is stored in the telephone storage unit 12 and the function is suspended.
[0155]
In addition, the telephone control unit 10 determines that the user of the mobile telephone 2 is an authorized user when the display information is displayed on the telephone display unit 13 with the realization of the function in the all-function use permission mode M2. If the mobile terminal shifts to the hold mode M3 without being able to perform authentication, the display information displayed on the telephone display unit 13 up to that point is deleted or the telephone The display information displayed on the display unit 13 is changed to display information for disguise.
[0156]
On the other hand, when the realization of the function is temporarily suspended in the hold mode M3, the telephone control unit 10 can personally authenticate the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user, and the all-function use permission mode M2 Then, the function that has been suspended up to that point is restored according to the realization status of the function stored in the telephone storage unit 12.
[0157]
When the function is realized in the hold mode M3, the telephone control unit 10 can personally authenticate the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user and shifts to the all-function use permission mode M2. Is continued as it is.
[0158]
Further, when the display information for impersonation is displayed on the telephone display unit 13 in the hold mode M3, the telephone control unit 10 can personally authenticate the user of the mobile telephone 2 as an authorized user, and is permitted to use all functions. When the mode is shifted to the mode M2, the display information for disguise displayed on the telephone display unit 13 up to that point is returned to the original display information and displayed.
[0159]
When the function is realized in the hold mode M3, the telephone control unit 10 cannot personally authenticate the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user even if the elapsed time reaches the hold mode continuation time. When the mode shifts to the secret mode M1, the function realized up to that point is interrupted.
[0160]
In addition, when the display information is displayed on the telephone display unit 13 in the hold mode M3, the telephone control unit 10 personally authenticates the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user even if the elapsed time reaches the hold mode continuation time. When the mode is shifted to the confidential mode M1 without being able to perform the setting, the display information that has been displayed on the telephone display unit 13 up to that point is deleted or the telephone display is performed up to that point according to the setting of the use function for the confidential mode M1. The display information displayed on the unit 13 is changed to display information for disguise.
[0161]
Further, when the display information for impersonation is displayed on the telephone display unit 13 in the hold mode M3, the telephone control unit 10 determines that the user of the mobile phone 2 is an authorized user even if the elapsed time reaches the hold mode continuation time. When the mode is shifted to the confidential mode M1 without being able to perform personal authentication, the forgery display information displayed on the telephone display unit 13 up to that point is deleted or the The disguise display information displayed on the telephone display unit 13 up to the point in time is displayed as it is.
[0162]
In the case of this embodiment, the telephone control unit 10 of the mobile telephone 2 uses the use function management unit 21 and the telephone short-range wireless interface 22 when communication and e-mail are received in the all-function use permission mode M2. Then, the personal identification ring 3 is notified via the telephone short-range communication antenna 23 in sequence.
[0163]
When the ring control unit 30 of the personal authentication ring 3 receives the notification of the arrival of the communication and the e-mail from the mobile phone 2 via the ring short-range communication antenna 34 and the ring short-range wireless interface 33 sequentially, the ring storage unit. An incoming call notification message stored in advance in the unit 31 is displayed on the ring display unit 32.
[0164]
Thus, the telephone control unit 10 personally authenticates the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user and shifts to the full-function use permission mode M2, for example, when the mobile phone 2 is in a bag or in a pocket of a regular user's clothes. Even if there is an incoming call for communication and e-mail while in the middle of a class, the fact that there is an incoming call is notified to the regular user by the incoming call notification message displayed on the ring display section 32 of the personal authentication ring 3. Can be.
[0165]
Further, in the case of this embodiment, in the portable terminal system 1, for example, both the parent and the child are described as FIGS. An individual who has a personal authentication ring 3 storing a user ID and has the same configuration as the personal authentication ring 3 worn on the parent, but has a child-specific user ID stored in the ring storage unit. Wear an authentication ring.
[0166]
In addition, in the mobile terminal system 1, both the parent-child user ID and the child-specific user ID are stored in the telephone storage unit 12 of the mobile phone 2 in which both the parent and the child are authorized users. When the management unit 21 uses the personal authentication ring 3 worn by the parent when the mobile phone 2 is used by the parent, the management unit 21 personally authenticates the parent. Uses the personal authentication ring worn by the child to personally authenticate the child.
[0167]
Then, when the user of the mobile phone 2 is personally authenticated as a parent, the use function management unit 21 of the mobile phone 2 permits the use of all functions in the all-function use permission mode M2 as in the case described above with reference to FIG. Is set to
[0168]
In addition, when the user of the mobile phone 2 is personally authenticated as a child, the use function management unit 21 sets an upper limit of a call time when making a call outside of home, for example, in the all-function use permission mode M2. In this case, it is set so that a telephone call cannot be made for a time longer than the upper limit, or a use form of the function is restricted such that a specific information providing server on the Internet cannot be accessed.
[0169]
Further, when the user of the mobile phone 2 is personally authenticated as a child, the usage function management unit 21 uses the usage mode set for the all-function usage permission mode M2 in the hold mode M3 and the confidential mode M1. The user is allowed to arbitrarily select whether or not to use the function and whether or not to use the camouflage function based on the above.
[0170]
Thus, in the portable terminal system 1, the parent who is the authorized user is allowed to use the cellular phone 2 in the same manner as described above with reference to FIGS. 2 is basically the same as the case described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, but is restricted in the form of use of the functions.
[0171]
Therefore, in the portable terminal system 1, when there are a plurality of authorized users for one portable telephone 2, the portable telephone 2 is prevented from being used improperly by a third party. By changing the mode of use of the functions available for each authorized user who uses the telephone 2, for example, the parent can refrain from using the mobile telephone 2 in such a way that a high usage fee is charged to the child. Can be managed.
[0172]
In the above configuration, when activated, the mobile phone 2 sets the realized function specifying mode to the confidential mode M1, and in this state, when an interrupt operation such as an incoming call or an e-mail or an operation of the operation unit 14 is detected. Then, it searches for the personal authentication ring 3 worn by the authorized user within the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2 by the short-range wireless communication.
[0173]
As a result, the mobile phone 2 is located at a relatively distant place from the authorized user, and if the personal authentication ring 3 worn by the authorized user does not exist within the short-range communication range of the mobile phone 2, the mobile phone 2 Since the user 2 cannot be authenticated as an authorized user, the state of the confidential mode M1 is continued and the use of all functions is restricted.
[0174]
In addition, as a result of searching for the personal authentication ring 3, the mobile phone 2 is in the vicinity of the legitimate user, for example, when the mobile phone 2 is held in the hand of the legitimate user. When the personal authentication ring 3 worn by the user is present, the personal authentication process described above with reference to FIG. 2 is executed, and the user of the mobile phone 2 can be personally authenticated as an authorized user. Instead, all the functions are permitted to be used by setting the all-functions use permission mode M2.
[0175]
Although the mobile phone 2 periodically executes the personal authentication process in the all-function use permission mode M2, the personal authentication ring 3 worn by the authorized user is separated from the mobile phone 2 and the mobile phone 2 is used. When the individual cannot be personally authenticated, the restriction on the use of all functions is suspended by setting the hold mode M3 instead of the all function use permission mode M2 at that point, and the function arbitrarily selected in advance is used. And / or changing display information to be displayed when a function arbitrarily selected in advance is realized to display information for disguise.
[0176]
Here, if the personal authentication ring 3 cannot be separated and the user of the mobile phone 2 cannot be personally authenticated as an authorized user even when the hold mode duration time has elapsed from the hold mode setting point of time, the hold The secret mode M1 is set in place of the mode M3 to restrict use of all functions, or display information at the time of an incoming call and display information corresponding to a browsing request are changed to display information for disguise and displayed.
[0177]
On the other hand, when the personal authentication ring 3 approaches and personally authenticates the user of the mobile phone 2 as an authorized user before reaching the hold mode continuation time from the hold mode setting time, the mobile phone 2 switches to the hold mode M3. Instead, the mode is returned to the all function use permission mode M2, and the use of all functions is permitted again.
[0178]
Therefore, the mobile phone 2 can be changed from one hand to the other hand by the authorized user in the all-function use permission mode M2, or the authorized user can deliberately show the display information to a friend, and thus the mobile phone 2 can be brought into a short distance. Even if the personal authentication ring 3 is unintentionally removed from the communication range and the personal user who is using the mobile phone 2 cannot be temporarily personally authenticated, it is not intended by the authorized user. It is possible to prevent the function being realized from being interrupted.
[0179]
The mobile phone 2 allows the authorized user to arbitrarily select a function to be used in the hold mode M3, thereby browsing display information that the authorized user does not want to show to a third party in the all-functions use permission mode M2. When the mobile phone 2 is deprived by a third party and shifts to the hold mode M3 when it is not desired to be used by a third party, the function previously realized is interrupted or the function previously realized is performed. Is changed to display information for disguise, the function can be limited to the state intended by the authorized user. Thus, unauthorized use of the mobile phone 2 by a third party or unauthorized use of the mobile phone 2 can be prevented. Leakage of personal information of the user can be prevented.
[0180]
Further, when detecting an interrupt operation in the confidential mode M1, the mobile phone 2 searches for the presence of the personal authentication ring 3 within the short-range communication range. By periodically executing the personal authentication process at a predetermined delay time interval in M3, the power consumption of the battery can be reduced.
[0181]
According to the above configuration, the mobile phone 2 executes the short-range wireless communication with the personal authentication ring 3, and as a result, the user ID held by the mobile phone 2 and the user ID held by the personal authentication ring 3 are used. When the user of the mobile phone 2 is personally authenticated as an authorized user, the user is set to the all-function use permission mode M2 instead of the confidential mode M1, and personally authenticates the user of the mobile phone 2 in the all-function use permission mode M2. When the mobile phone 2 is no longer available, the user is set to the hold mode M3 instead of the all function use permission mode M2 to temporarily suspend the restriction on the use of all functions. In the meantime, even if the personal authentication ring 3 comes off and the personal user using the mobile phone 2 cannot be temporarily personally authenticated, the authorized user intends to do so. It is possible to prevent the function being realized from being interrupted even though the personal authentication ring is temporarily out of the short-range communication range with the mobile phone, thereby making full use of the function of the mobile phone. A mobile terminal system can be realized.
[0182]
In the above-described embodiment, when the mode is changed to the hold mode M3 and the confidential mode M1 in a state where the impersonation function is used for the hold mode M3 and the confidential mode M1, the output information becomes the target of the camouflage. The case where the display information is displayed in place of the display information for disguise has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reproducible voice such as a message for answering message or the like in the hold mode M3 and the secret mode M1 is described. The information is set so as to be disguised, and is stored in advance in the telephone storage unit 12 in correspondence with the type of the audio information in response to the reproduction command of the audio information to be the output information to be disguised in the hold mode M3 and the hold mode M1. The impersonation message may be output from the speaker 16 so that the user of the mobile phone 2 can listen to the message.
[0183]
As a result, in the mobile phone 2, it is possible to prevent the leakage of the voice information as the personal information together with the display information as the personal information.
[0184]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, a description is given of a case where an incoming call notification message is displayed on the ring display unit 32 of the personal authentication ring 3 when a call or an e-mail is received in the all-function use permission mode M2.

Phone state information and the like may be transmitted to the personal authentication ring 3 and displayed on the ring display unit 32.
[0185]
By doing so, even when the mobile phone 2 is placed in a bag or in a pocket of a regular user's clothes, the current date and time or the mobile phone can be set with the personal authentication ring 3 without taking out the mobile phone 2 one by one. 2 can be confirmed.
[0186]
In addition to notifying the authorized user of the incoming call to the mobile phone 2 with the personal authentication ring 3, the mobile phone 2 receives the incoming call in, for example, the hold mode M <b> 3 when the ringer of the mobile phone device 2 rings. The ringer sound may be stopped by short-range wireless communication at that time by bringing the personal authentication ring 3 close to and entering the short-range communication range.
[0187]
In this way, even if the user has forgotten to set the ringer not to ring when an incoming call is received, the sound of the ringer is quickly stopped without operating the operation unit 14 at the time of the incoming call, thereby reducing annoying surroundings. Can be.
