  Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[First Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, an example will be described in which the location management system according to the present invention is applied to manage the location of a managed person (for example, a young child) by an administrator (for example, a parent).

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an overall configuration of a location management system 1000 according to the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a location management system 1000 according to the present embodiment includes a manager's mobile phone (mobile terminal) 100 possessed by a manager and a manager's mobile phone (administrator) possessed by the manager. Terminal device (mobile terminal), a preset notification destination) 200, a GPS satellite 300, and a wireless communication network (not shown) including a base station 400.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the manager's mobile phone 100.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the manager's mobile phone 100 includes a radio unit 10 including an antenna (not shown), a location information acquisition unit 20 that acquires current location information of the manager's mobile phone 100, It consists of a timer unit 30 that performs a timing operation such as the current time, a control unit 40, an operation unit 50 that includes operation keys, a display unit 60 that includes a liquid crystal display device that performs a display operation, and a speaker. And a sound generation unit 70.

  Among these, the wireless unit 10 performs wireless communication with the base station 400 via an antenna (not shown), and realizes transmission / reception of an e-mail or a short message or a telephone call.

  In the case of this embodiment, the position information acquisition unit (position information acquisition means) 20 includes a GPS receiver that receives signal radio waves from the GPS satellite 300, for example, and the signal radio waves received by the GPS receiver. Based on the current position information, the current position information of the cellular phone for manager 100 is generated, and the generated current position information is transmitted to the control unit 40.

  The display unit 60 performs display operations such as character information and images under the control of the control unit 40.

  The sound generation unit 70 generates sound such as a call sound and a ringtone under the control of the control unit 40.

  The controller 40 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 41, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 42, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 43. Among these, the ROM 42 stores a control program (program) for the CPU 41, and the CPU 41 performs various control operations in accordance with the control program. The RAM 43 functions as a work area for the CPU 41.

  In addition, the control unit 40 has a function as schedule management means for performing schedule management. That is, when the operation unit 50 receives a schedule input operation (registration operation), the CPU 41 of the control unit 40 stores information on the schedule in the RAM 43. For example, at least information on the business, date and place is managed for each schedule.

  The control unit 40 serves as a determination unit that determines whether or not the current position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 30 matches the schedule (location information) managed by the control unit 40. It has a function.

  That is, the control unit 40 constantly monitors the current time information notified from the time measuring unit 30 to determine whether or not the start time of any schedule being managed has arrived, and determines that it has arrived. In this case, a command is transmitted to the position information acquisition unit 30 to acquire current position information. The position information acquisition unit 30 that has received the command generates current position information based on the signal radio wave from the GPS satellite 300, and transmits the generated current position information to the control unit 40. The control unit 40 determines whether or not the current position information received from the position information acquisition unit 30 matches the schedule location at which the start time has come.

  Here, the determination that the current position information and the schedule location information (hereinafter, planned position information) match is not limited to the case where the planned position information and the current position information completely match. For example, it is preferable that the position indicated by the current position information is determined to match even when the position is within a predetermined tolerance range (for example, within a circle having a predetermined radius) centered on the position indicated by the planned position information.

  Further, when it is determined that they do not match as a result of such a determination operation, the control unit 40 performs a process of notifying the administrator mobile phone 200 to that effect. That is, when the control unit 40 determines that the acquired current position information does not match the schedule, the control unit 40 sends a notification (for example, an e-mail or a short message) to that effect to the administrator's mobile phone 200. The wireless unit 10 is caused to perform processing to transmit to the wireless unit 10 (command is transmitted to the wireless unit 10).

  The wireless unit 10 that has received a command from the administrator mobile phone 200 transmits a notification indicating that the acquired current position information does not match the schedule to the base station 400. As a result, the notification is transmitted to the administrator's mobile phone 200 via the wireless communication network including the base station 400.

  By confirming the notification received by the administrator's mobile phone 200, the administrator can recognize that the administrator's mobile phone 100 is located at a location that does not match the schedule.

  Here, the radio | wireless part 10 and the control part 40 function as a notification means.

  When notifying that it does not match, for example, current position information indicating where the current position of the manager's mobile phone 100 is is also notified.

  The control unit 40 also has a function as a monitoring unit that monitors whether or not the position indicated by the current position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 30 is outside a preset designated range.

  That is, the control unit 40 performs a monitoring operation as a monitoring unit at predetermined time intervals based on the timing information notified from the timing unit 30. In this monitoring operation, the control unit 40 transmits a command to the position information acquisition unit 30 to acquire current position information. The position information acquisition unit 30 that has received the command generates current position information based on the signal radio wave from the GPS satellite 300, and transmits the generated current position information to the control unit 40. The control unit 40 determines whether or not the position indicated by the current position information received from the position information acquisition unit 30 is outside a preset designated range.

  As a result of this determination operation, when it is determined that the user is out of the specified range, the control unit 40 notifies the administrator mobile phone 200 that the manager's mobile phone 100 has moved out of the specified range. Process. That is, the control unit 40 performs a process of transmitting a notification (e.g., an e-mail or a short message) indicating that the manager's mobile phone 100 has moved out of the specified range to the manager's mobile phone 200. 10 (command is transmitted to the wireless unit 10).

  Receiving the command from the administrator mobile phone 200, the radio unit 10 transmits a notification indicating that the administrator mobile phone 100 has moved out of the specified range to the base station 400. As a result, the notification is transmitted to the administrator's mobile phone 200 via the wireless communication network including the base station 400.

  The administrator can recognize that the manager's mobile phone 100 has moved out of the specified range by checking the notification received by the manager's mobile phone 200.

  In addition, the managed-use cellular phone 100 also has a function of changing a schedule that has already been registered (managed). That is, when the operation unit 50 receives a schedule change operation, the CPU 41 of the control unit 40 updates information in the RAM 43 related to this schedule. Here, the control unit 40 functions as a management schedule changing unit.

  Further, when the schedule is changed in this way, the control unit 40 performs a process of notifying the administrator mobile phone 200 of the change of the schedule and the contents of the change in cooperation with the wireless unit 10. (Schedule change notification). That is, when the process of changing the schedule is performed, the control unit 40 sends a notification (for example, an e-mail or a short message) indicating that the schedule has been changed and details of the change to the administrator's mobile phone 200. The wireless unit 10 is caused to perform the process of transmitting to

  The manager's mobile phone 200 may have the same configuration as the manager's mobile phone 100, but the position information acquisition unit 20 may not be provided. Further, the administrator's mobile phone 200 may not have a schedule management function.

  Next, the operation will be described.

  3 to 5 are a series of flowcharts showing the operation of the manager's mobile phone 100 in the case of the first embodiment. Note that the processes in FIGS. 3 to 5 are repeatedly performed by the manager's mobile phone 100 at predetermined intervals.

  When this process is started, first, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 40 of the manager's mobile phone 100 determines whether or not a schedule change operation has been performed on the operation unit 30 (step S1). .

  If it is determined that a schedule change operation has been performed (Yes in step S1), the control unit 40 performs a process of changing the content of the corresponding schedule (step S2), while the fact that the schedule has been changed and A process (step S3) for notifying the manager's mobile phone 200 of the contents of the change (business, time, place, etc.) is performed in cooperation with the radio unit 10. That is, for example, a process of transmitting an e-mail or a short message indicating that the schedule has been changed and the contents of the change to the manager's mobile phone 200 is performed.

  On the other hand, if there is no schedule change operation (No in step S1), steps S2 and S3 are skipped.

  Subsequently, the control unit 40 determines whether or not any schedule time has arrived based on the current time information from the time measuring unit 30 (step S4).

  If it is determined that the time of any schedule has arrived (Yes in step S4), the control unit 40 has already made a notification to the effect that the start time of the schedule has been reached on the administrator's mobile phone 100. Is determined (step S5).

  When the notification that the start time of the schedule has not yet been performed (No in step S5), the control unit 40 displays the notification that the start time of the schedule has arrived on the managed mobile phone 100. The unit 60 or the sound generation unit 70 is performed (step S6).

  Specifically, for example, the notification is performed by causing the sound generation unit 70 to generate an alarm sound or by displaying a pop-up message on the display unit 60. Thereby, the managed person can recognize that it is the time of the schedule.

  Subsequently, if any one or both of the first and second flags to be described later are ON, the control unit 40 performs a process (step S7) for turning off all the ON flags. The process proceeds to 4.

  On the other hand, when the notification that the start time of the schedule has arrived has already been made (Yes in Step S5), Steps S6 and S7 are skipped and the process proceeds to FIG.

  In the process of FIG. 4, the control unit 40 first determines whether or not the first flag is ON (step S11). Here, the first flag is information stored in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 43, for example, and is turned ON when the current position information is first acquired after the schedule is started (step S13 described later). ). When a plurality of schedules are registered, the first flag is turned on in step S13 executed in the time zone of the previous schedule. This first flag is used to start the current schedule. In step S7 (FIG. 3) immediately after that, it is turned OFF.

  Therefore, in step S11 in the first cycle after the schedule is started, it is always determined No (the first flag is not ON).

  In subsequent step S <b> 12, the control unit 40 transmits a command to the position information acquisition unit 30 to acquire current position information. The position information acquisition unit 30 that has received the command generates current position information based on the signal radio wave from the GPS satellite 300, and transmits the generated current position information to the control unit 40. Information is received from the position information acquisition unit 30.

  Subsequently, the control unit 40 performs a process of turning on the first flag (step S13).

  Subsequently, the control unit 40 determines whether or not the current position information received from the position information acquisition unit 30 in the previous step S12 matches the schedule location where the start time has come (step S14). .

  When it is determined that they match (Yes in step S14), the control unit 40 performs the process of turning on the second flag (step S15), and then ends the process of FIG. 4, and again performs the process from step S1 of FIG. repeat.

  Here, like the first flag, the second flag is information stored in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 43, for example, and when it is determined that the acquired current position information matches the current schedule. , ON (steps S15 and S24 described later). The second flag is history information used to determine whether or not the manager's mobile phone 100 has been located at least once at a place that matches the schedule, and that the second flag is ON, This means that the manager's mobile phone 100 is located at least once at a place that matches the schedule. In addition, even when a plurality of schedules are registered and the second flag is turned ON in steps S15 and S24 of the previous schedule time zone, the second flag is displayed when the current schedule is started. It is turned OFF in step S7 (FIG. 3) immediately after that.

  As a result of the determination in step S14 (determination as to whether the acquired current position information matches the schedule) or not (NO in step S14), the control unit 40 determines that the current position information is Then, it is determined whether or not the location matches the previous schedule (step S16).

  If it is determined that they match (Yes in step S16), the control unit 40 obtains that the manager's mobile phone 100 remains at the location of the previous schedule (despite the start time of the new schedule). 4 is terminated after the process of transmitting a notification (step S20) indicating that the current location information does not match the location of the (current) schedule to the manager's mobile phone 200, and the process of FIG. Step 3 from step S1 is repeated.

  By confirming this notification, the administrator remains at the location of the previous schedule, and the current position of the administrator's mobile phone 100 does not match the (current) schedule. You can recognize that.

  Further, when it is determined that they do not match as a result of the determination in step S <b> 16 (No in step S <b> 16), the control unit 40 indicates that the position indicated by the acquired current position information is outside the designated range set in advance. The process which determines whether it is (step S17) is performed.

  When it determines with it being outside a designated range (Yes of step S17), the control part 40 transmits the notification which shows that the mobile phone 100 for managers moved out of the designated range with respect to the mobile phone 200 for administrators. 4 is terminated after the process (step S18) is performed, and the process from step S1 in FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  By confirming this notification, the administrator can recognize that the manager's mobile phone 100 has moved out of the specified range.

  On the other hand, when it determines with it being in the designated range (No of step S17), the control part 40 is located in the place where the to-be-managed person's mobile phone 100 is in the designated range but does not match the current schedule. 4 is terminated after the process of transmitting a notification indicating that the message is present to the administrator mobile phone 200 (step S19), and the process from step S1 of FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  By checking this notification, the administrator can recognize that the managed-use cellular phone 100 is located in a location that is within the specified range but does not match the current schedule.

  Next, the processing in FIGS. 3 to 5 will be described in the second and subsequent cycles after the schedule is started and when the end time of the schedule has not come. For simplicity, it is assumed that the schedule change operation is not performed.

  In this case, No in step S1 in FIG. 3 (no schedule change operation is performed), Yes in step S4 (which is the time zone of any schedule), and Yes in step S5 (notification of the schedule start time) It has already been performed), and the process proceeds to the process of FIG.

  In step S11 of FIG. 4, it is determined as Yes (the first flag is ON) in the processing after the second cycle after the schedule is started. In the subsequent step S21, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) has elapsed since the current position information acquisition operation was performed last time.

  If the elapsed time from the previous acquisition operation (current position information acquisition operation) is less than the predetermined time (No in step S21), the processing in FIG. 4 is terminated, and the processing from step S1 in FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  When the elapsed time from the previous acquisition operation is equal to or longer than the predetermined time (Yes in step S21), the control unit 40 transmits a command to the position information acquisition unit 30 to acquire the current position information. The position information acquisition unit 30 that has received the command generates current position information based on the signal radio wave from the GPS satellite 300, and transmits the generated current position information to the control unit 40. Information is received from the position information acquisition unit 30 (step S22).

  Subsequently, the control unit 40 determines whether or not the current position information received from the position information acquisition unit 30 in the previous step S22 matches the current schedule location (step S23).

  If it is determined that they match (Yes in step S23), the control unit 40 turns on the second flag (step S24), ends the process in FIG. 4, and repeats the process from step S1 in FIG. 3 again. .

  On the other hand, when it is determined that they do not match (No in Step S23), the control unit 40 determines whether or not the second flag is ON (Step S25), and when it is determined that it is ON (Step S25). Yes), a process of determining whether or not the position indicated by the acquired current position information is outside the preset designated range (step S26).

  If it is determined that it is out of the specified range (Yes in step S26), the control unit 40 is out of the specified range before the schedule ends, although the managed mobile phone 100 is once located at a location that matches the schedule. 4 is completed after the process of transmitting a notification indicating that the user has moved to the administrator mobile phone 200 (step S27), and the process from step S1 of FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it is within the designated range (Yes in step S26), the managed mobile phone 100 is once located at a location that matches the schedule, but before the schedule ends, another location (designated range). 4 is terminated after performing the process (step S28) of transmitting a notification indicating that the user has moved to (inside) to the manager's mobile phone 200, and the process from step S1 in FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  If it is determined as a result of the determination in step S25 that the second flag is not ON (No in step S25), the control unit 40 designates the position indicated by the acquired current position information as a preset designation. A process of determining whether or not out of range (step S29) is performed.

  If it is determined that it is out of the specified range (Yes in step S29), the control unit 40 provides a notification indicating that the manager's mobile phone 100 has moved out of the specified range without being located at a location that matches the schedule. After performing the process (step S30) transmitted to the administrator's mobile phone 200, the process of FIG. 4 is terminated, and the process from step S1 of FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it is within the designated range (Yes in step S29), a notification indicating that the manager's mobile phone 100 has moved to a location (within the designated range) that does not match the current schedule is sent. After performing the process of transmitting to the telephone 200 (step S31), the process of FIG. 4 is terminated, and the process from step S1 of FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  If it is determined that the time of any schedule has not arrived as a result of the determination in step S4 in FIG. 3 (No in step S4), the process proceeds to the process in FIG.

  In the process of FIG. 5, the control unit 40 first determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) has elapsed since the previous acquisition of the current position information (step S41).

  If the elapsed time from the previous acquisition operation (current position information acquisition operation) is less than the predetermined time (No in step S41), the processing in FIG. 5 is terminated, and the processing from step S1 in FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  When the elapsed time from the previous acquisition operation is equal to or longer than the predetermined time (Yes in step S41), the control unit 40 transmits a command to the position information acquisition unit 30 to acquire the current position information. The position information acquisition unit 30 that has received the command generates current position information based on the signal radio wave from the GPS satellite 300, and transmits the generated current position information to the control unit 40. Information is received from the position information acquisition unit 30 (step S42).

  Subsequently, the control unit 40 determines whether or not the current position information received from the position information acquisition unit 30 in the previous step S42 matches the previous schedule location (step S43).

  When it is determined that they match (Yes in step S43), the control unit 40 indicates that the manager's mobile phone 100 remains at the location of the previous schedule (even though the end time of the previous schedule has passed). Is sent to the manager's mobile phone 200 (step S44), the process in FIG. 5 is terminated, and the process from step S1 in FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  By confirming this notification, the administrator can recognize that the manager's mobile phone 100 remains at the location of the previous schedule.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that they do not match as a result of the determination in step S43 (No in step S43), the control unit 40 indicates that the position indicated by the acquired current position information is outside the preset designated range. The process which determines whether it is (step S45) is performed.

  If it is determined that it is out of the specified range (Yes in step S45), the control unit 40 transmits a notification indicating that the manager's mobile phone 100 has moved out of the specified range to the manager's mobile phone 200. After performing the process (step S46), the process of FIG. 5 is terminated, and the process from step S1 of FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  By confirming this notification, the administrator can recognize that the manager's mobile phone 100 has moved out of the specified range.

  On the other hand, when it determines with it being in the designated range (No of step S45), the process of FIG. 5 is complete | finished and the process from step S1 of FIG. 3 is repeated again.

  Next, an example of the operation of the manager's mobile phone 100 according to the specific schedule and behavior of the manager will be described.

  For example, as a schedule of a manager of a certain day, “(1) PM16: 00 to PM 18:00 play in A park in A town” and “(2) PM18: 0 to 19 The second schedule of “return to home in A town during 0:00” is set in advance in the manager's mobile phone 100, and the manager carries the manager's mobile phone 100 to A park. Let's go.

  If the managed person does not change the schedule, takes actions as planned, and does not go out of the specified range, a notification is transmitted from the managed mobile phone 100 to the administrator mobile phone 200. Never happen.

  That is, before the start time of the first schedule, No in step S1 of FIG. 3 and No in step S4, so the process of FIG. 5 is substantially repeated. In the process of FIG. 5, “Yes” is determined in step S41 every predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes), but “No” is determined in step S41 at other times, and the process is repeated from step S1 of FIG. Every time it becomes Yes in step S41, that is, at every predetermined time, the current position information is acquired (step S42). However, since it is No in the subsequent step S43 and No in step S45, step S1 in FIG. It becomes repetition from. That is, the notification is not transmitted from the administrator mobile phone 100 to the administrator mobile phone 200.

  Further, when the start time of the first schedule arrives, No in step S1 in FIG. 3, Yes in step S4, and No in step S5, so that a notification that it is the start time of the first schedule is given. 4 is performed at the mobile telephone 100 (step S6), and after step S7 (the flag that is ON is turned OFF), the result in step S11 of FIG. 4 is No, and the current position information is acquired (step S12). Further, the process returns to step S1 in FIG. 3 after step S15 (turns on the second flag) since step S13 (turns on the first flag) and then Yes in step S14. Subsequently, No in step S1, Yes in step S4, Yes in step S5, Yes in step S11 of FIG. 4, and the process proceeds to step S21. In the process of FIG. 4, “Yes” is determined in step S21 every predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes), but “No” is determined in step S21 at other times, and the process is repeated from step S1 of FIG. Every time it becomes Yes in step S21, that is, at every predetermined time, the current position information is acquired (step S22), but in the subsequent step S23, it becomes Yes, so step S24 (turns on the second flag) is performed. After that, the process is repeated from step S1 in FIG. That is, the notification is not transmitted from the administrator mobile phone 100 to the administrator mobile phone 200.

  Further, when the start time of the second schedule arrives, No in step S1 in FIG. 3, Yes in step S4, and No in step S5, so that a notification that it is the start time of the second schedule is given. 4 is performed in the mobile phone 100 for use (step S6), and after step S7 (the first and second flags are turned OFF), No is obtained in step S11 of FIG. 4 and the current position information is acquired (step S12). Furthermore, since it becomes Yes in step S14 through step S13, it returns to step S1 of FIG. 3 through step S15. Subsequently, No in step S1, Yes in step S4, Yes in step S5, Yes in step S11 of FIG. 4, and the process proceeds to step S21. In the process of FIG. 4, “Yes” is determined in step S21 every predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes), but “No” is determined in step S21 at other times, and the process is repeated from step S1 of FIG. Every time it becomes Yes in step S21, that is, at every predetermined time, the current position information is acquired (step S22). However, since it becomes Yes in the subsequent step S23, the process from step S1 in FIG. Repeat. That is, the notification is not transmitted from the administrator mobile phone 100 to the administrator mobile phone 200.

  However, for example, if the manager changes the schedule (operation) to return home before PM 18:00, a schedule change notification indicating that is sent from the manager's mobile phone 100 to the manager's mobile phone 200. So that the administrator can recognize that. This is because the result of step S1 in FIG. 3 is Yes, and the processing of step S2 (schedule change) and step S3 (schedule change notification) is executed.

  When PM 18:00 has passed and the start time of the second schedule has arrived, the administrator's mobile phone 100 notifies that (step S6 in FIG. 3). When the administrator performs an operation to change the time in Park A from “until 18:00” to “until 20:00”, a schedule change notification that the schedule has been changed is sent from the administrator mobile phone 100 to the administrator. Therefore, the administrator can recognize the fact. This is because the result of Step S1 in FIG. 3 in the next cycle is Yes, and the processing of Step S2 and Step S3 is executed.

  In addition, if the manager stays at the first schedule location (A park) without changing the schedule (operation) even if the start time of the second schedule has passed after 18:00 PM, The administrator's mobile phone 100 exceeds the end time of the previous schedule (first schedule) and stays at the location of the previous schedule (A park), and the acquired current position information is the current schedule (second schedule). Since a notification indicating that it does not match the schedule (home road) is transmitted from the managed-cell-phone 100 to the administrator's mobile-phone 200, the administrator can recognize that fact. This is Yes in step S4 in FIG. 3, Yes in step S5, No in step S11 in FIG. 4 after processing in step S6 (notification of start time) and step S7 (flag OFF), and the position in step S12. This is because after the information acquisition process and step S13 (first flag ON), the result of step S14 is No, the result of step S16 is Yes, and the process of step S20 is executed.

  Also, if the managed person is in the A park until 17:00 PM and is about to move several kilometers away from the designated area to the B park in the B town, the manager's mobile phone 100 is temporarily turned off. A notification indicating that the user has moved out of the specified range before the end of the schedule is sent to the administrator's mobile phone 200 from the administrator's mobile phone 100 even though it is located at a location that matches the schedule. Therefore, the administrator can recognize that fact. This is Yes in step S4 of FIG. 3, Yes in step S5, Yes in step S11 of FIG. 4, Yes in step S21 every predetermined time, and step S22 (current position information acquisition) through step S23. This is because the answer is No, Yes in Step S25, Yes in Step S26, and the process of Step S27 is executed.

  Alternatively, after the managed person stays in the A park until 17:00 PM, when the managed person moves away from the A park and moves to a location within the designated range, that fact is managed from the managed cell phone 100. The administrator's mobile phone 200 is notified so that the administrator can recognize it. This is because the process of step S28 in FIG. 4 is executed.

  In addition, for example, if the manager is in a place other than A Park from the start time of the first schedule, if the place is within the specified range, the processing of Step S19 and Step S31 is executed. While the administrator can recognize that, even if the location is outside the specified range, the administrator will also recognize that by executing the processing of step S18 and step S30. Can do.

  When the administrator recognizes that the managed person is not acting according to the schedule or has moved out of the specified range, for example, the administrator contacts the managed person's mobile phone 100 (such as a call or email). ) Can immediately alert the managed person.

  According to the first embodiment as described above, the managed-use mobile phone 100 possessed by the managed person acquires the current position information by the position information acquisition unit 20 when the time zone of the schedule comes. If it is determined whether or not the acquired current position information matches the schedule (steps S14 and S23), and if it does not match the schedule, the administrator mobile phone possessed by the administrator 200 (steps S18, S19, S20, S27, S28, S30, S31), the administrator can immediately recognize that if the managed person takes an action that does not match the schedule. it can. Thus, the manager can immediately contact the manager, recognize the occurrence of the incident, track the whereabouts, or start to investigate at an early stage. In addition, for example, when taken to a neighboring town or the like in a kidnapping case, it is possible to recognize where the person was taken away.

  In addition, when it is determined that the current position information of the mobile phone 100 for manager 100 is acquired, the operation of determining whether or not the acquired current position information matches the schedule, and the schedule does not match, Since all the operations for notifying to the administrator mobile phone 200 are performed by the administrator mobile phone 100, for example, the configuration corresponding to the central computer and the management apparatus in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is not necessary.

  Furthermore, the schedule change operation can be performed on the manager's mobile phone 100, and when the schedule is changed, the fact and the contents of the change are also transmitted from the manager's mobile phone 100 to the manager's mobile phone 200. Therefore, the managed person can change the schedule, and when the schedule is changed, the administrator can promptly recognize that fact.

  Further, the managed mobile phone 100 determines whether or not the managed mobile phone 100 is located outside a designated range set in advance based on the location information acquired by the location information acquisition unit 20, for example. Monitoring is performed every predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) (steps S17, S26, S29, and S45), and if it is determined that the manager's mobile phone 100 is located outside the specified range, that fact is managed. Since the notification is made to the user's mobile phone 200, the administrator can recognize that fact.

  Further, the managed-use mobile phone 100 determines whether or not the managed-use mobile phone 100 stays in a place that matches the managed schedule beyond the time of the schedule (steps S16 and S43). ), And when it is determined that the user stays, the administrator's mobile phone 200 is notified to that effect, so that the administrator can recognize it.

  In addition, the managed mobile phone 100 determines whether or not the managed mobile phone 100 has moved to a place that does not match the schedule before the managed schedule ends (step S23 → step S25 → step S26) is also performed, and when it is determined that the managed mobile phone 100 has moved to a place that does not match the schedule before the schedule is over, the administrator mobile phone 200 is notified accordingly. Since the notification is made, the administrator can recognize that fact.
