BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an embodiment of a mobile phone carry-in monitoring system to which the present invention is applied. As shown in FIG. 1, the portable telephone carry-in monitoring system 10 detects the portable telephone 100 by receiving a radio wave emitted from the portable telephone 100, and outputs detectors 1, 2, 5, 6, and 6 that output a predetermined signal. And monitors whether or not the mobile phone 100 has been brought into a vehicle in which the mobile phone 100 is prohibited from being carried, based on signals output from the detectors 1, 2, 5, and 6, and issues a predetermined warning signal. The control device 3 includes a control device 3 that outputs a signal, a speaker 4 that outputs a predetermined warning corresponding to a control signal output from the control device 3 by horn or voice announcement, and the like.
[0008]
FIG. 2 is a front view of a train car. As shown in FIG. 1, the detectors 1 and 2 are provided at the entrance of the vehicle and detect the mobile phone 100 within a predetermined range A. That is, when each of the detectors 1 and 2 receives a radio wave emitted from the mobile phone 100 that has moved into the range A, it supplies a predetermined signal to the controller 3 as a detection signal.
[0009]
FIG. 3 is a side view of a train car. In this example, the detector 1 is provided outside the vehicle, and the detector 2 is provided inside the vehicle. In FIG. 3, the detector 1 and the detector 2 are in contact with each other, but they can be installed at a predetermined interval. When the holder of the mobile phone 100 tries to enter the vehicle from the entrance, the radio wave emitted from the mobile phone 100 is first received by the detector 1 and then received by the detector 2.
[0010]
When the detector 1 receives a radio wave emitted from the mobile phone 100, the detector 1 supplies a predetermined signal to the controller 3 as a detection signal. Further, when the detector 2 receives a radio wave emitted from the mobile phone 100, the detector 2 supplies a predetermined signal to the control device 3 as a detection signal. The value of this detection signal can be changed according to the level of the reception level of the radio wave emitted from the mobile phone 100. Therefore, in this case, the closer the mobile phone 100 is to the detectors 1 and 2, the larger the value of the detection signal becomes.
[0011]
Control device 3 determines whether portable telephone 100 is about to be brought into the vehicle and whether it is brought into the vehicle based on the detection signals supplied from detectors 1 and 2. For example, the value of the detection signal supplied from the detector 1 and the detection supplied from the detector 1 when the mobile phone 100 is at the position shown in FIG. 3 (the position closest to the detector 1). If the difference from the signal value is smaller than the predetermined value, it is determined that the mobile phone 100 is about to be brought into the vehicle.
[0012]
When the control device 3 determines that the mobile phone 100 is about to be brought into the vehicle based on the detection signals from the detection devices 1 and 2, the sound corresponding to the warning message from the speaker 4 or the warning message by the voice announcement is provided. Supply signal. Thereby, a warning message by a warning sound or a sound announcement is output from the speaker 4 (primary notification). The warning message by the voice announcement output at this time can clearly convey that the carry-in of the mobile phone 100 into the vehicle is prohibited.
[0013]
Further, based on the detection signals from detectors 1 and 2, control device 3 determines that mobile phone 100 has been brought into the vehicle as shown in FIG. 4 despite the warning by the voice announcement. In this case, the value of a predetermined counter indicating the number of mobile phones 100 brought into the vehicle is increased by one, and a warning is cut off to inform that the mobile phone 100 has been brought into the vehicle, and the user is taken to another vehicle. An audio signal corresponding to the message prompting the user to perform the operation is supplied to the speaker 4 (second notification). As a result, the speaker 4 shakes off the warning to notify that the mobile phone 100 has been brought into the vehicle, and a voice announcement urging the user to board another vehicle flows.
[0014]
The count value of the counter increases by one each time the mobile phone 100 is brought into the vehicle, and the control device 3 allows the owner of the mobile phone 100 to enter and exit the vehicle based on the detection signals from the detectors 1 and 2. When it is determined that the user has gone out of the vehicle, the count value of the counter is reduced by one, so that the count value of the counter indicates the number of mobile phones 100 in the vehicle.
[0015]
Further, even after a lapse of a predetermined time, if the counter value of the above counter is 1 or more (when the owner of mobile phone 100 remains in the vehicle), control device 3 responds to the predetermined horn sound. An audio signal is supplied to the speaker 4. As a result, a horn sound is output from the speaker 4. Finally, the control device 3 supplies the speaker 4 with an audio signal prompting the owner of the mobile phone 100 to get on another vehicle. As a result, the speaker 4 outputs a voice announcement urging the holder of the mobile phone 100 to get out of the vehicle and board another vehicle.
[0016]
The warning by the audio announcement and the warning by the horn sound can be repeatedly performed while the count value of the counter is 1 or more.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 5, the detectors 5 and 6 shown in FIG. 1 include a vehicle 200 in which the mobile phone 100 cannot be brought in (a vehicle in which the mobile phone cannot be brought in) and a vehicle 200 in which the mobile phone 100 can be brought in ( When the mobile phone 300 is connected to the vehicle 200, the mobile phone 100 is provided near an exit from the vehicle 200, into which the mobile phone 100 cannot be carried, to the connecting portion.
[0018]
When the holder of the mobile phone 100 moves from the vehicle 200 in which the mobile phone 100 cannot be carried to the vehicle 300 in which the mobile phone 100 can be carried, the mobile phone 100 is detected by the detector 5 and the detector 6. , A detection signal is supplied to the control device 3. When the control device 3 determines that the holder of the mobile phone 100 has moved from the vehicle 200 in which the mobile phone 100 cannot be carried to the vehicle 300 in which the mobile phone 100 can be carried in the same manner as described above, Decrease the count value of the counter by one. Thereby, the number of mobile phones 100 existing in vehicle 200 in which mobile phone 100 cannot be brought in is updated.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 6, when the holder of the mobile phone 100 moves from the vehicle 300 in which the mobile phone 100 can be carried to the vehicle 200 in which the mobile phone 100 cannot be carried, the detector 6 and the detection The mobile phone 100 is detected by the device 5, and a detection signal is supplied to the control device 3. When the control device 3 determines that the holder of the mobile phone 100 has moved from the vehicle 200 in which the mobile phone 100 cannot be carried to the vehicle 300 in which the mobile phone 100 can be carried in the same manner as described above, The count value of the counter is increased by one. Thereby, the number of mobile phones 100 existing in vehicle 200 in which mobile phone 100 cannot be brought in is updated.
[0020]
As described above, since the count value of the counter indicates the number of mobile phones 100 in the vehicle 200 in which the mobile phone 100 cannot be brought in, when the counter value is 1 or more, the count of the mobile phone 100 The mobile phone 100 is present in the vehicle 200 that cannot be brought in. Therefore, while the mobile phone 100 is in the vehicle 200, a warning by a horn sound or a voice announcement can be issued.
[0021]
Further, when the power of the mobile phone 100 is turned on, the holder who brings the mobile phone 100 into the vehicle 200 in which the mobile phone 100 cannot be brought into the vehicle 200 subsequently turns off the power of the mobile phone 100, Since the count value of the counter once counted does not decrease, a warning can be issued to the owner until the user leaves the vehicle with the mobile phone 100 (secondary notification). Further, the crew can be notified of the count value of the counter (third notification). The crew member receiving this notification can move to the vehicle 200 and warn the owner of the mobile phone 100.
[0022]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, a plurality of mobile phones 100 can be detected, and a smooth flow of people at the time of getting on and off can be achieved without forcibly interrupting the carrying of the mobile phone. While keeping, accurately grasping the number of mobile phones 100 brought into the vehicle 200, in conjunction therewith, gives a warning over three stages, even if the owner of the mobile phone 100 is riding, Use of the mobile phone 100 can be suppressed more reliably.
[0023]
That is, in the present embodiment, when the user gets on the vehicle, the presence or absence of the mobile phone 100 is determined and a warning is issued (primary notification) to urge the user to stop bringing the mobile phone 100 into the vehicle. Further, the count value of the counter increases by one each time the mobile phone 100 is brought into the vehicle ignoring this warning, and the count value decreases by one each time the mobile phone 100 is taken out of the vehicle. While the count value is 1 or more, it can be considered that the mobile phone 100 is in the vehicle. Therefore, a warning can be given to the holder of the mobile phone 100 without fail, and the holder can be continuously warned to take all the mobile phones 100 in the vehicle out of the vehicle (secondary). notification). In addition, by notifying the crew of the count value (third notification), the crew can check the number of mobile phones 100 remaining in the vehicle, and can go directly to the vehicle and give a warning.
[0024]
