FIG.

  In FIG. 3, the communication device 200 is installed by an arbitrary method such as a method of being attached to a signboard or the like indicating that construction is underway, or a method of installing by a column in one corner of the construction site. When finished, it can be easily moved to the next construction site. In addition, the communication device 200 transmits danger information indicating that construction is underway at a predetermined cycle, and each communication device 200 is a communication terminal that exists in a narrow range of about several meters in the danger areas # 301 and # 302. The danger information is transmitted so as to reach only the device 100. Each communication device 200 transmits only danger information in danger areas # 301 and # 302. The communication device 200 is not limited to being installed in the dangerous areas # 301 and # 302, but is installed in the vicinity of the dangerous areas # 301 and # 302 so that the owner of the communication terminal device 100 can use the dangerous area # 301, It is also possible to notify the danger information to the communication terminal device 100 so as not to enter # 302.

  When the owner of the communication terminal device 100 is in the position # 303 outside the danger areas # 301 and # 302, the communication terminal device 100 does not receive the danger information transmitted from the communication device 200, but the communication When the owner of the terminal device 100 moves from the position # 303 to the position # 304, the communication terminal device 100 enters the dangerous area # 301. Therefore, the communication terminal device 100 is transmitted from the communication device 200 in the dangerous area # 301. The received danger information is received (step ST401).

  Next, communication terminal apparatus 100 determines whether or not the danger information control unit 105 is communicating with the communication partner (step ST402). Specifically, the danger information control unit 105 determines whether information indicating that communication with the communication partner is in progress is input from the control unit 109. If communication is in progress, communication terminal apparatus 100 next determines whether or not a call is in progress at risk information control section 105 (step ST403). Specifically, the danger information control unit 105 determines whether information indicating that a call with the communication partner is in progress is input from the control unit 109. If the call is in progress, communication terminal apparatus 100 then outputs a reception notification sound for notifying that danger information has been received during the call in voice section 112 (step ST404).

  Next, the danger information control unit 105 of the communication terminal device 100 notifies the call partner whether or not the output instruction unit 104 has instructed to transmit the received danger information to the communication partner. It is determined whether or not the call button is turned on (step ST405). If the call button is not turned on, the danger information control unit 105 has not instructed the output instruction unit 104 to output the received danger information, that is, does not transmit the contents of the danger information to the communication partner. It is determined whether or not the hold button is turned on so that only the user can know the contents of the danger information (step ST406). When the hold button is turned on, the danger information control unit 105 instructs the control unit 109 to temporarily stop the voice data output to the voice unit 112 and put the call on hold. . Next, communication terminal apparatus 100 outputs the contents of the danger information as voice data or display data at voice section 112 or display section 111 (step ST407). Next, the danger information control unit 105 determines whether or not the output instruction unit 104 has instructed cancellation of the hold of the call, that is, whether or not the hold button is turned off (step ST408). When the hold button is turned off, the danger information control unit 105 instructs the control unit 109 to resume the output of audio data from the control unit 109 to the audio unit 112, and communicates with the communication partner. (Step ST409). If the hold button is not turned off, the communication terminal apparatus 100 continues to output the display data of the danger information content on the display unit 111 or the voice data of the danger information content from the voice unit 112 (step). ST407).

  On the other hand, when transmitting danger information to the communication apparatus of the communication partner in step ST405, that is, when the call button for notifying the other party of the received danger information is turned on, the communication terminal apparatus 100 Information is transmitted to the communication device of the communication partner (step ST410), and the content of the danger information is output as voice data or display data from the voice unit 112 or the display unit 111 (step ST411). Next, after terminating the transmission of the danger information and outputting the contents of the danger information by voice, communication terminal apparatus 100 returns to a state in which a call with a normal communication partner is in progress (step ST409). If the hold button is not turned on in step ST406, the danger information control unit 105 does not output the danger information.

  If communication terminal apparatus 100 is not communicating with the communication partner in step ST402, it outputs a reception notification sound for notifying that danger information has been received by voice section 112 (step ST412). Next, the danger information control unit 105 of the communication terminal device 100 determines whether or not the output instruction unit 104 has instructed the output of the voice information of the danger information (step ST413). When the output of the danger information voice information is instructed, communication terminal apparatus 100 outputs the danger information as voice data from voice section 112 (step ST414). On the other hand, in step ST413, when the output of the danger information voice data is not instructed by the output instruction unit 104, the danger information control unit 105 does not output the voice data.

  Next, risk information control section 105 of communication terminal apparatus 100 determines whether or not the output instruction section 104 is instructed to output character information of the risk information (step ST415). When the output of the character information of the danger information is instructed, communication terminal apparatus 100 outputs the danger information as display data on display unit 111 (step ST416). On the other hand, in step ST415, when the output of the danger information display data is not instructed by the output instruction unit 104, the danger information control unit 105 does not output the display data.

  In step ST403, if the telephone call is not in progress, a reception notification sound for notifying that the danger information has been received is output by the voice unit 112 (step ST417). Next, danger information control section 105 of communication terminal apparatus 100 determines whether or not output of voice information of danger information is instructed by output instruction section 104 (step ST418). If the output of the danger information voice information is instructed, communication terminal apparatus 100 outputs the danger information as voice data in voice section 112 (step ST419). On the other hand, in step ST418, when the output of the danger information voice data is not instructed by the output instruction unit 104, the danger information control unit 105 does not output the voice data.

  Next, the danger information control unit 105 determines whether or not output of the danger information display data is instructed by the output instruction unit 104, that is, whether or not the character information button is turned on (step ST420). When the character information button is turned on, the dangerous communication terminal device 100 outputs the danger information to the display unit 111, and the display unit 111 displays the danger information display data input from the danger information control unit 105 and the control unit 109. Both of the display data input from step S421 are displayed (step ST421). Next, after terminating the output of the danger information display data on display unit 111, communication terminal apparatus 100 returns to the state during communication with the normal communication partner (step ST422). On the other hand, in step ST420, when the character information button is not turned on, the display unit 111 displays only the display data input from the control unit 109.
