It is set in advance.
[0038]
Next, a flow from reception of an incoming call from the mobile terminal 2 to disconnection of communication with the mobile terminal 2 in the manner that the mobile terminal 4 is in the manner mode setting state will be described with reference to FIG.
[0039]
When the user 10 of the mobile terminal 2 on the transmitting side makes a call to the mobile terminal 4 of the user 6 in the manner mode setting, the call is received by the mobile terminal 4 via the base station 1, the relay station 5, and the base station 3. . When there is an incoming call, the microcomputer 27 of the mobile terminal 4 operates the vibrator generator 24 to notify the user of the incoming call. When the user 6 notices the incoming call due to the vibration by the vibrator and presses a call button (not shown) of the operation unit 22, the mobile terminal 4 responds to the incoming call in the manner mode setting state to the management device 5A (starts a call). Information of the completion is sent. The management device 5A starts timer counting by receiving the information from the mobile terminal 4.
[0040]
Then, in a state where the communication between the mobile terminal 2 and the mobile terminal 4 is continued, when the counting time is several seconds before reaching the talkable time stored in the storage unit 34, After a few seconds, a voice announcement or notification sound (for example, a beeping sound) notifying that the communication will be disconnected is transmitted to the mobile terminal 2 of the user 10 via the base station 1. Thereby, the mobile terminal 2 outputs a voice announcement from a speaker or the like. Then, the management device 5A forcibly cuts off the communication between the mobile terminal 2 and the mobile terminal 4 when the talkable time has elapsed since the start of the call.
[0041]
It is to be noted that a suitable talk time is, for example, about 15 seconds in which necessary minimum information can be transmitted. Also, the announcement to notify the disconnection of the communication in advance is appropriate, for example, 5 seconds before the disconnection of the communication.
[0042]
As described above, according to the mobile communication system of the present embodiment, when the user 6 is on a train (otherwise, while watching a movie in a movie theater or during a meeting, etc.), the mobile terminal 4 owned by the user 6 is silent. Even when the user 6 responds to an incoming call from the calling terminal in the mode setting state and starts a call at the will of the user 6, the communication is forcibly disconnected when the talkable time has elapsed since the start of the call.
[0043]
Therefore, in a public place, annoyance to surrounding people can be minimized, and the user 6 on the train 7 can transmit necessary minimum information to the partner user 10. Further, by giving an announcement to the calling user 10 that the communication will be disconnected after a few seconds before disconnecting the communication, it is possible to reduce the distrust of the user 10 with respect to the forced disconnection.
[0044]
In the present embodiment, the notification that the communication between the mobile terminal 2 and the mobile terminal 4 is to be disconnected is sent only from the management device 5A to the mobile terminal 2 on the calling side. 4, or both the mobile terminal 2 on the calling side and the mobile terminal 4 on the receiving side. By doing so, the user 6 of the mobile terminal 4 on the receiving side knows that the communication will be disconnected after a few seconds, so that it is possible to proceed with the call focusing only on the business to be conveyed.
[0045]
Further, in the present embodiment, the user 10 of the mobile terminal 2 on the transmitting side cannot know whether the mobile terminal 4 on the receiving side is set to the manner mode. The second user 10 may be notified of the state of the mobile terminal 4 on the receiving side.
[0046]
In this case, when the called mobile terminal 4 sets the manner mode, the microcomputer 27 transmits information indicating that the manner mode is set to the management apparatus 5A. Further, when the microcomputer 35 of the management device 5A receives information indicating that the manner mode is set from the receiving mobile terminal 4, the information is stored in the storage unit. When the microcomputer 35 detects the transmission to the mobile terminal 4 that is the transmission source of the information, the microcomputer 35 reads out the information stored in the storage unit 34 and transmits the information to the mobile terminal that is transmitting the information.
[0047]
It should be noted that the notification information to be transmitted to the transmitting mobile terminal is performed before communication between the transmitting mobile terminal and the mobile terminal 4 is established. Further, as the content of the notification, for example, an announcement such as “the other party is in the manner mode setting” is preferable because it is easy to understand.
[0048]
By doing so, the user of the mobile terminal on the calling side can know that the mobile terminal of the call destination is in the manner mode setting based on the notification, so that the user can continue making the call unless urgent. Self-restraint, and if it is an urgent business, the call can be continued.
[0049]
In addition, since the above notification is performed before communication between the originating mobile terminal and the receiving mobile terminal is established, it is possible to receive a call when the receiving mobile terminal is present in a train or the like. It is possible to prevent it before it happens.
[0050]
(Second embodiment)

When the mobile terminal 4 receives a call from the mobile terminal 2 in a manner mode setting state and responds to the call when the mobile terminal 4 is in the manner mode setting state, the communication control function 47 </ b> B stores a call available time stored in the storage unit 46 from the start of the response ( This is a function of disconnecting communication with the mobile terminal 2 after elapse of, for example, 15 seconds.
[0053]
The storage unit 46 stores in advance a program for controlling the microcomputer 47 and information indicating a communicable time. The information indicating the available call time may be set and stored arbitrarily by the user of the mobile terminal 4 via the operation unit 22.
[0054]
When the communication control function 47B of the microcomputer 47 is realized, the audio output unit 45 communicates with the mobile terminal 2 in advance to notify the user of the mobile terminal 4 that the communication with the mobile terminal 2 will be disconnected. At a point several seconds before (for example, 5 seconds before) the point at which the communication is cut off, a voice announcement or a notification sound (for example, a beeping sound) notifying that the communication will be cut off is output a few seconds later.
[0055]
The notification may be performed not only as a voice announcement or a notification sound, but also as characters displayed on the display unit 23, or the mobile terminal 4 may be vibrated by the vibrator unit 24.
[0056]
Next, a flow from when the mobile terminal 4 responds to an incoming call from the mobile terminal 2 in the manner mode setting state until the communication with the mobile terminal 2 is cut off will be described. Note that the flow from the transmission from the mobile terminal 2 to the arrival at the mobile terminal 4 is the same as in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0057]
When the mobile terminal 4 responds to the incoming call from the mobile terminal 2 (starts a call), the microcomputer 47 starts timer counting. Then, when the mobile terminal 4 is in a state where the communication with the mobile terminal 2 is continued, five seconds before the communicable time stored in the storage unit 46 elapses, the communication is disconnected after another five seconds. A sound announcement or a notification sound notifying the fact is output from the sound output unit 45. Then, the communication with the mobile terminal 2 is forcibly cut off at the time when the communicable time elapses after responding to the incoming call.
[0058]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, while the user 6 is on the train (otherwise, while watching a movie in a movie theater or during a meeting, etc.), the mobile terminal 4 owned by the user 6 moves in the manner mode setting state. Even when the mobile terminal 4 responds to the incoming call from the terminal 2, the mobile terminal 4 forcibly disconnects the communication with the mobile terminal 2 when the predetermined talk time elapses.
[0059]
Therefore, in a public place, annoyance to surrounding people can be minimized, and the user 6 on the train 7 can transmit necessary minimum information to the partner user 10. In addition, before disconnecting the communication, by giving an announcement to the user 6 of the mobile terminal 4 that the communication is to be disconnected after 5 seconds, the user 6 can proceed with the call focusing only on the message to be conveyed. .
[0060]
In the first and second embodiments, by forcibly disconnecting the communication between the mobile terminal 2 and the mobile terminal 4, it is possible to raise awareness of manners. By changing the call fee charged to the user of the mobile terminal based on the available time and providing a service for adding points, further improvement in manners awareness can be expected.
[0061]
In this case, the manager of the mobile communication system sets the possible call time when responding to the incoming call in the manner mode setting state and the corresponding call charge as follows, for example.
Talkable time 0 (only incoming call history, voice announcements are sent to the calling side): 0 yen Talkable time 5 seconds: 5 yen Talkable time 10 seconds: 20 yen Talkable time 15 seconds: 50 yen Talkable time 20 Seconds: 100 yen Talk time infinite: 100 yen + 100% call charge after 20 seconds
In this manner, by increasing the call charge when answering an incoming call in the manner mode standby state as the talk time increases, it is possible to urge the user to refrain from talking in the manner mode setting state.
