Description

  The present invention relates to a portable terminal communication restriction system and a portable terminal communication restriction method for detecting a portable terminal brought into an area where restriction of bringing in a portable terminal is restricted and restricting communication.

  Radio waves transmitted from mobile terminals such as mobile phones cause malfunctions in precision electronic devices such as heart pacemakers and steering instruments. Therefore, in hospitals, airplanes, etc. Regulations are being made. In addition, mobile phone ringing and telephone conversations also disturb others in museums and theaters, so mobile phones are restricted from making calls and receiving calls, and ringing sounds such as alarms and ringtones. Yes.

  However, such a call is left to the manners of the individual owner of the mobile phone device. At present, such manners are not well protected. On the transmission side, since the current position of the other party holding the mobile terminal of the transmission destination is unknown, the transmission is performed without knowing that the other party is in a place not suitable for using the mobile terminal.

  In order to solve such a problem, Patent Literature 1 suppresses incoming calls to a mobile terminal in a closed space in a use-restricted area to make a temporary stop state, and the sender includes contents related to the closed space. A technology has been proposed that issues an announcement and restricts incoming calls into the restricted use area. Whether the mobile terminal is in a closed space is determined by providing an out-of-service area that shields radio waves from the radio base station at the entrance to the closed space, and when the mobile terminal moves from the out-of-service area to the closed space, The position registration signal to be transmitted to the station is determined by receiving it in the closed space.

  In the technique of Patent Document 1, an out-of-service area that shields radio waves from a radio base station is required at the entrance and exit of a closed space that is a restricted use area. The out-of-service area must be formed by being shielded by a shield member or the like. Even if there is no need to suppress mobile phone communication in a closed space such as a movie theater, it will block radio waves from the radio base station, making telephone communication difficult in out-of-service areas. turn into. In addition, it is necessary to receive only location registration information from the mobile terminal in the closed space and accurately grasp the mobile terminal in the closed space. For this purpose, an antenna having directivity that covers the entire closed space and receives position registration information from the portable terminal only in the closed space is required. Therefore, when the closed space becomes large, the cost of equipment such as an antenna and a receiving device increases.

  Therefore, Patent Document 2 provides a communication suppression technique using an incoming call suppression unit that provides an RFID tag for storing mobile phone number information in a mobile phone device, reads the mobile phone number information, and restricts incoming calls to the mobile phone device. Is disclosed. According to this technique, the incoming call suppression means is arranged at the entrance / exit of the use restricted space of the mobile phone device, and stays in the use restricted space by reading the mobile phone number information from the RFID tag of the mobile phone device entering / leaving the space. Recognize mobile phone devices. Then, when the mobile phone device receives an incoming call from another mobile phone device, the mobile phone device replies that the call cannot be made, thereby suppressing the incoming call to the mobile phone device in the restricted use space. By adopting such a technique, the above-mentioned problem of equipment costs is solved.

  The receiving unit 13 of the read / write device 10 receives the tag information and outputs this information to the control unit 14. The receiving unit 13 constitutes a tag information reading unit that reads power setting information indicating whether the power of the mobile terminal 20 is set on or off. The control unit 14 reads the input tag information and identifies that the tag information is power setting information, thereby detecting that the mobile terminal 20 has entered the restricted area (step S104). The control part 14 comprises the terminal detection part which detects a portable terminal by power supply setting information. Next, the control unit 14 determines whether or not the power setting information indicates ON setting (step S105). When the control unit 14 determines that the power setting information is not set to ON (step S105; NO), the control unit 14 proceeds to step S110. On the other hand, if the control unit 14 determines that the power setting information is on setting (step S105; YES), the control unit 14 indicates that the power of the portable terminal 20 is forcibly set to off as shown in FIG. Guidance for notifying the visitors is displayed on the display device 30 installed in the restricted area (step S106). The control unit 14 constitutes a guidance output unit. Thereafter, the control unit 14 outputs an off-force request requesting that the power of the mobile terminal 20 be forcibly turned off to the transmission unit 12.
