When “Exit” from area A is detected, an email with the message “I'm out of school!” Is automatically sent to the preset mail transmission destination address “abc@ef.co.jp” in the movement section a. .

  In addition, when leaving the area B (●● station), the control unit 111 refers to the past location information (location information history) stored in the storage unit 110 and performs two predetermined points in the movement section b. The travel speed is calculated based on this travel speed, and “Take a train (express)!” Or “Take a train (each stop) )! ”Is extracted, the selected message and a predetermined destination address are extracted from the storage unit 110, and an email is generated by combining the extracted message and the destination address. Automatic transmission to a predetermined destination. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, “express” and “each stop” have different transmission destinations “abc@ef.co.jp” and “qwe@rt.co.jp”, respectively. .

  Similarly to the above, when the holder of the mobile communication terminal 100 is close to the area D (home), the control unit 111 determines the moving speed with reference to the past position registration information in the moving section d, and the process shown in FIG. Select either the message “I will be home soon (walking)!” Or “I will be home soon (taxi)!”, And the selected message and the specified destination address “qwe@rt.co.jp” ”Is extracted from the storage unit, a mail is generated by combining the message and the destination address, and the mail is automatically transmitted to a predetermined destination“ qwe@rt.co.jp ”.

  In addition, in FIG. 3, when the owner of the mobile communication terminal 100 approaches a shop (store name) in the area C, the control unit 111 enters the area C based on the entry / exit determination information shown in FIG. 6. Then, from the storage unit 110, a predetermined message “I will go back to shopping at XX shop” and a predetermined destination address “abc@ef.co.jp” are extracted, and the message and the destination address are combined. Generate an email and automatically send the email to the specified destination “qwe@rt.co.jp”.
