For example, when the location management server 20 receives an identification code of a base station where the mobile phone 10 is currently located from the mobile phone 10 located within the communication service area of the mobile communication network, the location code The area name corresponding to the mobile phone 10 is transmitted to the mobile phone 10 as position information.

  In the communication system 1 according to the present embodiment, specific display target information among the display target information stored in the mobile phone 10 is displayed on the screen according to the position and time (situation information) where the mobile phone 10 is located. It is characterized in that it is displayed or not displayed. That is, it is for displaying / hiding specific display target information according to the situation (hereinafter referred to as submarine display). Examples of the display target information include information such as transmission / reception mail history, outgoing / incoming call history, telephone directory, schedule, and the like. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the case where the display target information is a received mail history will be described. Needless to say, the display target information of the present invention is not limited to the received mail history.

  Next, the functional configuration of the mobile phone 10 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile phone 10 includes a submarine information registration unit 11 (registration unit), a reception unit 12 (reception unit), a position / time information acquisition unit 13 (acquisition unit), and a situation determination unit 14 ( A situation determination unit), a mode determination unit 15 (mode determination unit), an extraction unit 16 (extraction unit), and a display unit 17 (display unit).

  The submarine information registration unit 11 writes and registers the submarine information input by the user in a telephone book information storage area M1 and a submarine information storage area M2 of the memory M described later. The submarine information includes, for example, setting information of a submarine mode (display / non-display switching mode), a region and a time zone in which a specific received mail history is displayed. When the submarine mode is set, display / non-display of a specific received mail history is switched based on the region and time zone in which the mobile phone 10 is located. That is, a specific received mail history is displayed in submarine.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 2, the data structure of the telephone directory information stored in the telephone directory information storage area M1 of the memory M described above will be described. The phone book information includes, for example, registration NO, group NO, name, phone number, mail address, and submarine mode as data items.

  The phone book information registration number stores a number for uniquely identifying the phone book information, such as “001”. In the group number, for example, “01”, a number for uniquely identifying a group to which an acquaintance registered in the telephone directory belongs is stored. The group name given to the group number can be arbitrarily set by the user, and includes, for example, relatives, friends, mistresses, company relationships, confidentiality, and the like.

  The name of the phone book information stores names of acquaintances registered in the phone book information, for example, “Momoko Tanaka”. The telephone number stores the telephone number of an acquaintance or the like registered in the telephone book information, for example, “090-1111-2222”, and the mail address includes, for example, “momo@aa.co.jp”. As described above, e-mail addresses of acquaintances registered in the phone book information are stored.

  The submarine mode of the phone book information indicates whether the display mode is set to the submarine mode (ON state) or not (OFF state), such as “ON” and “OFF”, for example. Is stored. When the display mode is set to submarine mode, in principle, the received mail history of received mail received from acquaintances etc. set to submarine mode is excluded from the display target of the received mail list screen. However, the received mail list screen is displayed only when it falls within a specific region or time zone. On the other hand, when the display mode is not set to the submarine mode, the received mail history of the received mail received from an acquaintance who is not set to the submarine mode is always displayed on the received mail list screen.

  In addition, with reference to FIG. 3, the data structure of the submarine information stored in the submarine information storage area M2 of the memory M described above will be described. The submarine information has, for example, a registration number, a condition number, a region, and a time zone as data items.

  The submarine information registration NO is information corresponding to the phonebook information registration NO.

The submarine condition is a condition related to a region or time zone for displaying a submarine according to the region or time zone. In addition, as a case where there are a plurality of submarine conditions, for example, a region and a time zone may be set as OR conditions. That is, it is a case where a specific received mail history is set as a display target of the received mail list screen when corresponding to either one of the region or time zone registered in the submarine information.

  In the submarine information area, for example, an area for displaying a specific received mail history on the received mail list screen, such as “Meguro”, is stored. Thus, when “Meguro” is set in the area of the phone book information, while the mobile phone 10 is in the “Meguro” area, the submarine information in which “Meguro” is registered in the area is displayed. Corresponding received mail history can be displayed on the received mail list screen. That is, while the mobile phone 10 is in the “Meguro” area, the received mail history of the received mail received from “Momoko Tanaka” whose registration NO is “001” shown in FIG. Although displayed on the list screen, while the mobile phone 10 is located outside the “Meguro” area, the received mail history of the received mail received from “Momoko Tanaka” is displayed on the received mail list screen. It will not be displayed.

  In the time zone of the submarine information, for example, a time zone for displaying a specific received mail history on the received mail list screen, such as “2004/4/26 12:00 or later” is stored. As described above, when “2004/4/26 12:00 or later” is set in the time zone of the submarine information, the current time is “2004/4/26 12:00 or later”. The received mail history corresponding to the submarine information in which “2004/4/26 12:00 or later” is registered can be displayed on the received mail list screen. That is, when the current time is “2004/4/26 12:00 or later”, the received mail history of the received mail received from “Umeko Ito” whose registration NO is “003” shown in FIG. When the current time is other than “2004/4/26 12:00 or later”, the received mail history of the received mail received from “Umeko Ito” It will not be displayed on the received mail list screen.

  Here, a method of registering the submarine information will be described with reference to each registration screen shown in FIGS. FIG. 4A is a submarine mode setting selection screen for selecting whether or not to set the submarine mode. When “Yes” is selected on the submarine mode setting selection screen shown in FIG. 4A, a submarine condition setting selection screen for selecting whether or not to set the submarine conditions shown in FIG. 4B is displayed. Is displayed. When “Yes” is selected on the submarine condition setting selection screen shown in FIG. 4B, a setting target selection screen for selecting the setting target of the submarine condition shown in FIG. 4C is displayed.

Is written to.

  In the setting condition input screen shown in FIG. 4 (e), when the region setting and the time zone setting are performed, the setting is “AND condition”. That is, the received mail history is displayed only when it corresponds to both the region and time zone set on this screen. On the other hand, when the submarine condition is set as an “OR condition”, different condition buttons are selected on the setting condition selection screen shown in FIG.

  The receiving unit 12 illustrated in FIG. 1 receives a received mail history list display request output in accordance with a user operation instruction. Further, the position / time information acquisition unit 13 acquires position information regarding the current position where the own device 10 is located from the position management server 20. The position / time information acquisition unit 13 acquires time information related to the current time from a time measurement unit (not shown).

  The status determination unit 14 shown in FIG. 1 reads received mail histories one by one from a received mail history storage area M3, which will be described later, and the position information and / or time information acquired by the position / time information acquisition unit 13 is received. It is determined whether it corresponds to the region and / or time zone of the submarine information registered corresponding to the sender email address (identification code) included in the received email history read from the email history storage area M3.

  More specifically, the situation determination unit 14 stores phone book information corresponding to the received mail history in the phone book information storage area M1 based on the sender mail address included in the read received mail history. In addition to extracting from the phone book information, sub marine information corresponding to the extracted phone book information is extracted from the sub marine information stored in the sub marine information storage area M2. The situation determination unit 14 determines whether or not a location corresponding to the position information acquired from the position management server 20 is included in the area of the extracted submarine information. Moreover, the situation determination part 14 determines whether the time corresponding to the time information acquired from the time measuring part is included in the time zone of the extracted submarine information.

  Here, the data structure of the received mail history stored in the received mail history storage area M3 will be described with reference to FIG. The received mail history includes, for example, a sender mail address, a reception time, and mail contents as data items.

  The sender mail address stores a mail address for uniquely specifying the sender of the received mail, for example, “ume@aa.co.jp”. Using this sender email address as an identification code, the phone book information is searched, and the submarine information corresponding to the phone book information detected by this search is detected, so that the region and time zone registered corresponding to the sender email address Can be referred to. The reception time stores the time when the received mail is received, for example, “2004/05/01 12:03”. The mail content, for example, "Hello ..." as in, subject and body of the received mail is stored.

  In this embodiment, since the case where the display target information is the received mail history is described, the received mail history storage area M3 is provided in the memory M, but the display target information is other than the received mail history. In the case of the above information, a storage area corresponding to each information may be provided. For example, when the display target information is a transmission mail history, a transmission mail history storage area is provided. When the display target information is a transmission / reception history, a transmission / reception history storage area is provided. When the display target information is a schedule, a schedule storage area is provided. That's fine. When the display target information is a transmission mail history, the recipient mail address corresponding to the mail address of the phone book information is set as an identification code included in the transmission mail history, and the display target information is a call history. In some cases, the incoming / outgoing telephone number corresponding to the telephone number in the phone book information is set as an identification code included in the outgoing / incoming call history, and when the display target information is a phone book or schedule, What is necessary is just to set the data item corresponding to any of registration NO, a telephone number, and an e-mail address as an identification code contained in a telephone directory or a schedule. Thus, by providing each display target information with a data item corresponding to the search key of the phone book information as an identification code, by searching the phone book information based on this identification code, it is made to correspond to this identification code. You can refer to the registered region and time zone. Then, display / non-display of the display target information can be switched according to the referenced region and time zone.

Only when it is determined that the user wants to switch the display / non-display of the specific received mail history based on the position information or time information of the own terminal, the specific received mail history is displayed on the own terminal when the display request is received. It can be displayed according to position information or time information, or can be hidden.

  Further, in the mobile phone 10 according to the first embodiment, since the submarine information registration unit 11 is provided, the region and time zone can be registered in correspondence with the sender email address included in the received email history. Based on the above, it is possible to switch the display / non-display of the received mail history for each received mail history.

  In the first embodiment described above, the submarine information is registered separately in the telephone directory information storage area M1 and the submarine information storage area M2, but the configuration for storing each information is not limited to this. In short, it is only necessary that the submarine information can be stored in correspondence with the mail address included in the phone book information.

  Moreover, in 1st Embodiment mentioned above, after performing determination by comparing the area of submarine information with the positional information acquired from the positional management server 20 by step S21 shown in FIG. 7, or step S31 shown in FIG. 7 or S34 shown in FIG. 8 is performed by comparing the time zone of the submarine information and the time information acquired from the timekeeping unit, but the order of the determination is not limited to this. This determination may be performed first.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the communication system 2 in the second embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the communication system 2 includes a mobile phone 10 s (mobile terminal) and a location management server 20, similarly to the communication system 1 in the first embodiment. Since the basic configuration of the mobile phone 10s and the location management server 20 is the same as the basic configuration of the mobile phone 10s and the location management server 20 in the first embodiment, hereinafter, different functions will be mainly described and the same functions will be described. Will not be described.

  The functional configuration of the mobile phone 10s will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, the mobile phone 10 includes a submarine information registration unit 11s (registration unit), a reception unit 12 (reception unit), a position / time information acquisition unit 13 (acquisition unit), and a situation determination unit 14s ( A situation determination unit), a mode determination unit 15s (mode determination unit), an extraction unit 16s (extraction unit), a display unit 17 (display unit), and a mode setting unit 18.

  Here, the function of the mobile phone 10s in the second embodiment is different from the function of the mobile phone 10 in the first embodiment when the display mode is set to the submarine mode in the mobile phone 10s in the second embodiment. In the mobile phone 10 in the first embodiment, the display target information is normally displayed and the display target information is not displayed only when the current position or current time corresponds to the submarine condition. When the display mode is set to the submarine mode, the display target information is normally hidden, and the display target information is displayed only when the current position and the current time satisfy the submarine conditions. . The display target information includes, for example, information such as a sent / received mail history, outgoing / incoming history, phone book, schedule, etc. In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, for convenience of explanation, A case where the display target information is a received mail history will be described.

  In the following, the mode setting unit 18, the submarine information registration unit 11s, the situation determination unit 14s, the mode determination unit 15s, and the extraction unit 16s that are different from the functions in the first embodiment will be described.

  The mode setting unit 18 writes and changes the display mode set by the user's operation instruction in the mode storage area M4 of the memory M. Here, the display mode includes a normal mode and a submarine mode. The normal mode is a mode in which all received mail histories are displayed without being excluded. The submarine mode is the same as the submarine mode in the first embodiment described above. When the submarine mode is set, the specific received mail history is displayed / hidden based on the region and time zone in which the mobile phone 10s is located. Is switched. That is, a specific received mail history is displayed in submarine.

  The submarine information registration unit 11s writes and registers a condition for hiding a specific received mail history selected by the user as a submarine condition in a telephone book information storage area M1 of the memory M described later. Here, as the target of the submarine condition, for example, situation information regarding the situation such as the region and the time zone is applicable. By registering such a submarine condition, while the user who possesses the mobile phone 10 moves into the region registered as the submarine condition or the current time belongs to the time zone registered as the submarine condition, The received mail history selected as a submarine display target by the user is not displayed on the received mail list screen.

  By determining whether or not to display the received mail history based on such a submarine condition, for example, the user who possesses the mobile phone 10 is in Shibuya where the home of A child who is a real girl friend is located In the meantime, it is possible to prevent the received mail history received from the play friend B child from being displayed on the screen. In addition, for example, during the time period from 19:00 to 23:00 when the user who possesses the mobile phone 10 often meets the play friend B child, the history of received mail received from the child A is not displayed on the screen. Can be.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 11, the data structure of the telephone directory information stored in the telephone directory information storage area M1s of the memory M described above will be described. The phone book information includes, for example, registration NO, name, phone number, mail address, region, time zone, and forced display flag as data items. Basic information of the phone book information is constituted by the registered NO, name, telephone number and mail address, and the submarine condition described above is constituted by the region and the time zone.

  The phone book information registration number stores a number for uniquely identifying the phone book information, such as “001”. In the name, for example, the name of an acquaintance registered in the phone book information such as “Momoko Tanaka” is stored. The telephone number stores the telephone number of an acquaintance or the like registered in the telephone book information, for example, “090-1111-2222”, and the mail address includes, for example, “momo@aa.co.jp”. As described above, e-mail addresses of acquaintances registered in the phone book information are stored.

  In the area of the phone book information, for example, an area where the received mail history is not displayed is stored, such as “Shibuya”. Thus, when “Shibuya” is set in the area of the phone book information, the phone book information in which “Shibuya” is registered in the area while the mobile phone 10 is in the “Shibuya” area. Can be excluded from the display target on the received mail list screen. That is, while the mobile phone 10 is in the “Shibuya” area, the received mail history received from “Momoko Tanaka” whose registration NO is “001” shown in FIG. Will not be displayed.

  In the time zone of the phone book information, for example, a time zone in which the received mail history is hidden is stored, such as “19: 00 to 23:00”. As described above, when “19:00 to 23:00” is set in the time zone of the phone book information, the current time belongs to the time zone of “19:00 to 23:00”. The received mail history corresponding to the phone book information in which “19:00 to 23:00” is registered in the band can be excluded from the display target on the received mail list screen. That is, for the received mail history received from “Sakurako Sakurako” whose registration NO is “002” shown in FIG. 11 while the current time belongs to the time zone “19:00 to 23:00” It will not be displayed on the received mail list screen.

  The phone book information forced display flag stores information indicating whether or not the received mail history is forcibly displayed, for example, “ON” or “OFF”. In other words, information indicating whether the submarine condition is validated or invalidated is stored. More specifically, when the forced display flag is “ON”, even if the submarine condition is input in the region or time zone and the submarine condition is satisfied, the forced display flag is set. The received mail history received from an acquaintance or the like whose is set to “ON” is always forcibly displayed on the screen. On the other hand, when the forced display flag is “OFF”, when the submarine condition is input in the region or time zone and the submarine condition is satisfied, the forced display flag is set to “OFF”. Received mail histories received from acquaintances etc. are hidden and not displayed on the screen. With reference to FIG. 11, for example, a case where the user displays a received mail list at 15:00 will be described. Two cases where the registration number is “001” and “003” include 15:00 in the time zone of the phone book information. The compulsory flag of the phone book information whose registration number is “001” is “OFF”, and the compulsory flag of the phone book information whose registration number is “003” is “ON”. Therefore, in this case, the received mail history received from “Momoko Tanaka” whose registration number is “001” is not displayed on the received mail list screen, and “Ito Umeko” whose registration number is “003”. The received mail history received from will be displayed on the received mail list screen. By providing such a compulsory display flag, once the submarine condition is input, the submarine condition can be switched between valid / invalid by simply setting the compulsory display flag ON / OFF. . Therefore, the trouble of repeatedly inputting the same submarine conditions can be saved, and the convenience for the user can be improved.

  The situation determination unit 14s illustrated in FIG. 10 reads the received mail history one by one from the received mail history storage area M3, which will be described later, and the position information and / or time information acquired by the position / time information acquisition unit 13 is received. It is determined whether it corresponds to the area and / or time zone of the telephone book information registered corresponding to the sender mail address (identification code) included in the received mail history read from the mail history storage area M3.

  Specifically, the situation determination unit 14s stores the phone book information corresponding to the received mail history in the phone book information storage area M1 based on the sender mail address included in the read received mail history. Extract from phone book information. The situation determination unit 14s determines whether or not the location corresponding to the position information acquired from the position management server 20 is included in the area of the extracted phone book information. In addition, the situation determination unit 14s determines whether or not the time corresponding to the time information acquired from the time measuring unit is included in the time zone of the extracted phone book information.

  The mode determination unit 15s illustrated in FIG. 10 determines whether or not the display mode stored in the mode storage area M4 is the submarine mode.

  The extraction unit 16s shown in FIG. 10 is the area of the phone book information in which the position information and / or time information acquired by the position / time information acquisition unit 13 is extracted by the situation determination unit 14s in the determination by the situation determination unit 14s And / or if it is determined not to correspond to the time zone, the received mail history corresponding to the area and / or time zone of the telephone directory information is extracted. That is, the extraction unit 16s determines that the location information and / or time information corresponds to the region and / or time zone of the phone book information in the determination by the situation determination unit 14s. The received mail history corresponding to the time zone is not extracted. However, even if it is determined that the position information and / or time information corresponds to the area and / or time zone of the phone book information in the determination by the situation determination unit 14s, the extraction unit 16s sets the compulsory display flag to “ When “ON” is set, the received mail history corresponding to the area and / or time zone of the telephone directory information is extracted.

  Next, received mail history list display processing executed in the mobile phone 10 s will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. First, a summary process of the received mail history list display process will be described with reference to FIG. This list display process is started when the user inputs an instruction to display the received mail list screen.

  First, the receiving unit 12 of the mobile phone 10s receives a received mail history list display request output in accordance with a user operation instruction (step S41). Next, the mode determination unit 15s determines whether or not the display mode stored in the mode storage area M4 is the submarine mode (step S42).

  When this determination is NO (step S42; NO), the display unit 17 displays all received mail histories stored in the received mail history storage area M3 on the received mail list screen (step S43). Then, the received mail history list display process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S42 that the display mode is the submarine mode (step S42; YES), displayable reception is possible from the entire received mail history stored in the received mail history storage area M3. A received mail history extraction process for extracting the mail history is executed (step S44). Details of the received mail history extraction process will be described later.

  Next, the display unit 17 displays the received mail history extracted by the received mail history extraction process on the received mail list screen (step S45). Thus, the received mail history list display process ends.

  Next, the received mail history extraction process (S44 in FIG. 12) will be described with reference to FIG. First, the position / time information acquisition unit 13 of the mobile phone 10 acquires position information related to the current position where the mobile device 10 is located from the position management server 20 and also acquires time information related to the current time from the time measuring unit. (Step S51).

  Next, the situation determination unit 14s reads one received mail history from all received mail histories stored in the received mail history storage area M3 (step S52). Based on the sender email address included in the read received email history, the situation determination unit 14s extracts the phone book information corresponding to the sender email address from the phone book information stored in the phone book information storage area M1. (Step S53).

  Next, the situation determination unit 14s determines whether or not a region corresponding to the position information acquired from the position management server 20 is included in the area included in the phone book information extracted in step S53 described above ( Step S54). That is, it is determined whether or not the mobile phone 10s is in a position where display of the received mail history is prohibited.

  If this determination is YES (step S54; YES), the process proceeds to step S56 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S54 that the area included in the phone book information does not include a location corresponding to the position information acquired from the position management server 20 (step S54; NO), the situation is determined. The unit 14s determines whether or not the time zone included in the telephone directory information extracted in step S53 described above includes the time and day of the week corresponding to the time information acquired by the time measuring unit (step S55). That is, it is determined whether or not the current time is a time or day of the week when display of the received mail history is prohibited.

  When this determination is YES (step S55; YES), the extraction unit 16s excludes the received mail history read in step S52 as a list display target, that is, excludes it from the list display target ( In step S56), the process proceeds to step S58 described later. Thereby, the received mail history that matches the submarine condition can be excluded from the list display target.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S55 that the time zone included in the phone book information does not include the time and day of the week corresponding to the time information acquired from the location management server 20 (step S55; NO), The extraction unit 16s extracts the received mail history read in step S52 as a list display target (step S57).

  Next, the situation determination unit 14s determines whether or not reading of all received mail histories stored in the received mail history storage area M3 has been completed (step S58), and if it is determined that it has not ended (step S58) In S58; NO), the process proceeds to step S52, and when it is determined that the process has been completed (step S58; YES), the received mail history extraction process is terminated.

  As described above, in the mobile phone 10s according to the second embodiment, the received mail history is extracted based on the position information or time information of the own terminal which is the status information when the display request for the received mail history is received. Therefore, specific received mail history that you do not want to be seen by a third party can be displayed or hidden according to the location information or time information of your terminal when a display request is received . That is, for each received mail history that is not desired to be viewed by a third party, display / non-display of each received mail history can be easily switched according to the situation based on the position information and time information.

  Further, in the mobile phone 10s according to the second embodiment, the received mail history can be extracted based on the position information or time information of the own terminal only when the display mode is set to the submarine mode. Only when it is determined that the user wants to switch the display / non-display of the specific received mail history based on the position information or time information of the own terminal, the specific received mail history is displayed on the own terminal when the display request is received. It can be displayed according to position information or time information, or can be hidden.

  In addition, since the mobile phone 10s in the second embodiment includes the submarine information registration unit 11s, it is possible to register the region and time zone in correspondence with the sender email address included in the received email history. Based on the above, it is possible to switch the display / non-display of the received mail history for each received mail history.

  Further, in the mobile phone 10s according to the second embodiment, since the user can arbitrarily set the display mode to either the normal mode or the submarine mode by including the mode setting unit 18, it is based on the user's will. Thus, display / non-display switching of a specific received mail history can be easily executed.

  In the second embodiment described above, the received mail history extraction process (see FIG. 13) is performed when the display mode is the submarine mode. However, the received mail history extraction process is performed in the submarine mode. It is not limited to a certain case. Therefore, for example, even when the display mode is not particularly provided, the received mail history extraction process can be executed. The processing performed in this case is as follows. If the current location or current time at the time of receiving the list display request corresponds to the region or time zone of the phone book information corresponding to the received mail history, the received mail history corresponding to the phone book information is excluded from the display target. On the other hand, when the current position or current time does not correspond to the region or time zone of the phone book information, the received mail history corresponding to the phone book information is displayed.

  In the second embodiment described above, a forced display flag is provided in the phone book information to switch the submarine condition between valid / invalid. However, a method for determining whether the submarine condition is valid or invalid is determined. Is not limited to this. For example, without providing a forced display flag, if a condition is entered in at least one of the area or time zone of the phone book information, the submarine condition is enabled, and no condition is entered in any of them. In some cases, the submarine condition may be invalidated.

  Further, in the second embodiment described above, after the determination is made by comparing the area of the phone book information with the location information acquired from the location management server 20 in step S54 shown in FIG. 13, the step shown in FIG. In S55, the determination is made by comparing the time zone of the phone book information and the time information acquired from the timekeeping unit, but the determination order is not limited to this, and either determination may be performed first.

  Moreover, in 2nd Embodiment mentioned above, although the submarine information is registered into the telephone directory information storage area M1, the structure which stores each information is not restricted to this. In short, it is only necessary that the submarine information can be stored in correspondence with the mail address included in the phone book information.

  In each embodiment described above, the position information and the time information are described as the situation information. However, the situation information is not limited to the position information and the time information. For example, the received mail history display count or non-display count set in the submarine mode may be used. In other words, when the number of display or non-display of received mail history from a specific sender exceeds the specified number when the submarine mode is set, the received mail history of the sender may always be hidden or displayed. Good.

  Moreover, in each embodiment mentioned above, although the positional information regarding the present position of the mobile telephones 10 and 10s is acquired from the position management server 20, the method of acquiring positional information is not restricted to this. For example, position information related to the current position of the mobile phone 10 may be acquired using GPS (Global Positioning System), or position information related to the current position of the mobile phone 10 using the position management server 20 and GPS. It is good also as acquiring.
