Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal apparatus that stops outgoing calls while detecting incoming calls when located in a specific area or when a specific instruction is given, and an information processing apparatus that communicates with the mobile communication terminal apparatus.

  A mobile communication terminal device such as a mobile phone or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistance) with a communication function is carried by a user and can transmit and receive information using radio waves. However, in certain areas, such as places where transmission of radio waves is prohibited, for example, where electronic devices affected by electromagnetic waves are used, the user must turn on the mobile communication terminal device to prevent radio waves from being transmitted. Need to cut. However, depending on the user's operation to turn off the power, forgetting to turn off the power may cause radio waves to be transmitted even in a specific area.

  As a first conventional technique for stopping outgoing calls in a specific area, there is a mobile terminal usage restriction system that restricts outgoing calls and turns off ringtones when entering a restricted area. This mobile terminal use restriction system restricts outgoing calls and turns off ringtones by receiving a use restriction signal from a use restriction notification device that notifies a use restriction signal indicating a restricted area. Yes (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  As a second conventional technique, there is a mobile radio apparatus that can use only the pager function of a mobile phone in a place where the use of the mobile phone is prohibited. This mobile radio device is provided with a pager function in the mobile phone, and when receiving the mode switching signal from the mode switching signal sending means for sending the mode switching signal, the mobile phone cannot call the mobile phone, operates the pager function, and can only receive an incoming call. (For example, see Patent Document 2).

As a third conventional technique, there is a communication apparatus that performs control determined for each place where the communication apparatus exists. This communication device is a position information notifier that transmits position information or a GPS (Global
(Positioning System) recognizes the location of the communication device, restricts outgoing voice calls, stops ringing, switches operation modes, controls output power, or stops operation (for example, patents) Reference 3).

There is a mobile communication system. In this mobile communication system, when a mobile station device receives a signal from a transmitting device provided in a place where use of a mobile phone is prohibited, the mobile communication device can only perform a process of notifying the owner of an incoming call without sound (for example, Patent Documents). 4).

  As a fifth conventional technique, there is a position information communication terminal that restricts wireless transmission in a restricted area. This position information communication terminal automatically wirelessly transmits the current position to a predetermined destination, and stops the transmission function of the wireless unit when the current position obtained by GPS positioning is within the restricted area ( For example, see Patent Document 5).

  As a sixth prior art, there is a mobile communication system that can make a mobile communication terminal recognize an incoming call to a mobile communication terminal in a transmission prohibited state, that is, a manner mode, when the manner mode is canceled. In this mobile communication system, when a communication management center receives an incoming call to a mobile communication terminal in the manner mode, it stores incoming call occurrence information based on the incoming call and transmits the incoming call occurrence information to the mobile communication terminal. When the mode is released, all stored incoming call occurrence information is transmitted again to the mobile communication terminal, so that the mobile communication terminal can reliably recognize an incoming call to the mobile communication terminal in the manner mode (for example, a patent) Reference 6).

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an operation of a mobile communication system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This figure shows that the mobile phone 10 which is a mobile communication terminal device enters an offline designation area where radio wave transmission is restricted from a communication permission area where radio wave transmission is permitted, and then exits the offline designation area. An example of returning to the communication permission area is shown. The mobile phone 10 has moved from the position of the mobile phone 10a to the position of the mobile phone 10e over time.

  The mobile communication system 1 includes, for example, switching stations (hereinafter, abbreviated as wireless switching stations or switching stations) 30 and 31 that are switching equipment in which a wireless base station or server 20 is installed, and mobile phones. 10 is included. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the mobile phone 10 that is moving within the communication area of the exchange 30. This indicates that the communication is permitted from the communication permitted area outside the boundary line 40 to the offline designated area inside the boundary line 40, and further moved beyond the boundary line 40 to the communication permitted area. A dotted arrow shown in FIG. 1 indicates a communication direction between the exchange 30 and the mobile phone 10.

Further, the transmission function for transmitting information is stopped, and the transmission of the RF signal by the RF transmission unit 111 of the wireless unit A11 is stopped. Even if transmission of the RF signal by the RF transmission unit 111 is stopped, the incoming call function for performing the incoming call processing still works, that is, since the RF reception unit 112 can receive the RF signal, even in the offline mode, the server 20 Incoming calls from can be detected. The control unit A15 notifies the user that the incoming call has been detected by the notification unit 17.

  In the offline mode, the transmission function for transmitting information is stopped and the transmission of the RF signal by the RF transmission unit 111 of the wireless unit A11 is stopped. For example, for the incoming function, some (short-time or low output) ) When the transmission of radio waves is permitted, the transmission of the RF signal for the incoming function need not be stopped.

  The outgoing call function and the incoming call function are functions realized by the control unit A15 executing a program. As described above, when the current position is recognized as being in a specific area, that is, in an offline designated area, the call detection operation by the call function is stopped while the call detection operation by the call detection function is maintained. Can stop and detect incoming information.

  Further, when it is recognized that the current position is in a specific area, that is, in an offline designated area, the RF transmitter 111 further stops the transmission of the RF signal, so that no radio waves are transmitted. Therefore, if the current position is located in the specific area, it is possible to detect incoming calls without transmitting radio waves.

  In the offline mode, when receiving the GPS positioning information from the GPS radio wave receiving unit 12, the control unit A15 calculates the coordinates of the current position specified by the latitude, longitude, and altitude, and stores the associated offline information stored in the terminal information storage unit A14. The designated area information is collated and it is determined whether or not it is located in the offline designated area. If it is determined that it is outside the offline designation area, offline termination processing is performed. In the offline end process, the control unit A15 cancels the offline mode, that is, cancels the stop of the transmission function, cancels the stop of the RF signal transmission by the RF transmission unit 111 of the wireless unit A11, and cancels the offline mode. Is notified to the server 20. The incoming record information indicating the incoming call in the offline mode is received from the server 20, an unreceived message is stored in the terminal information storage unit A 14, and the notification unit 17 notifies the user.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the server 20 installed in the radio base station or the switching center 30 shown in FIG. The server 20 which is an information processing apparatus is an exchange facility installed in the radio base station or the exchange station 30, and includes a radio unit B21, an offline designation area database unit 22, an answering service unit 23, a terminal information storage unit B24, and a control. Part B25 is included.

  The wireless unit B21 performs wireless communication with the mobile phone 10. The offline designated area database unit 22 is a storage device such as a magnetic disk device that stores offline designated area information, for example, map information indicating the offline designated area, as a database. When the offline designated area information is stored on the mobile phone 10 side, it may not be stored as the offline designated area database unit 22.

  The answering machine response service unit 23 performs an answering machine answering service such as storing outgoing call information or received e-mail when receiving a call or e-mail when the mobile phone 10 cannot respond. The terminal information storage unit B24 stores state information about the mobile phone such as the operation mode of the mobile phone such as the normal operation mode, the offline mode, the manner mode, and the drive mode, and the information of the radio base station that communicated last. A storage device such as a magnetic disk device. The control unit B25 is composed of, for example, a CPU, and controls and calculates the entire server 20 by executing a program stored in a memory included in the CPU.

  When the control unit B25 receives GPS positioning information from the mobile phone 10 by the wireless unit B21, the control unit B25 calculates the coordinates of the current position specified by the latitude, longitude, and altitude based on the received GPS positioning information. It is performed at high speed and with high accuracy by technology or the like, and is compared with the offline designated area information stored in the offline designated area database unit 22 to determine whether or not the current position is located in the offline designated area.

  When it is determined that the current position is located in the offline designated area, or when an offline mode transition request is received from the mobile phone 10 by the radio unit B21, the location location of the radio base station etc. in which the mobile phone 10 is accommodated Stop the location registration confirmation operation that periodically checks and registers information. Furthermore, the location information related to the location of the currently accommodated radio base station, that is, information indicating the radio base station that manages the offline designated area where the mobile phone 10 is located is stored in the terminal information storage unit B24. Since the server 20 stores the location-related information of the mobile phone 10 located in the offline designation area in the terminal information storage unit B24, the mobile phone 10 accommodates the mobile phone 10 even if no RF signal is transmitted from the mobile phone 10 in the offline mode. It is possible to recognize the received radio base station, and it is possible to transmit incoming notification information such as an incoming call to the mobile phone 10 in the offline mode.

  The control unit B25 monitors whether there is an incoming voice call or e-mail to the mobile phone 10 in the offline mode, that is, the mobile phone 10 that is not receiving radio waves. When an incoming call is received, a message which is incoming notification information indicating an emergency or important incoming call is created and transmitted to the mobile phone 10. Whether it is urgent or important is, for example, whether the number of incoming calls after entering the offline mode has exceeded the predetermined number of incoming calls, or whether the number of incoming calls within the predetermined period has exceeded the predetermined number of incoming calls It can be determined based on conditions such as whether the caller is a predetermined caller or whether there is an urgent or important instruction from the caller.

  An instruction from the caller indicating that it is urgent or important is, for example, sending confirmation information for confirming whether the call is urgent or important to the caller, and returning an emergency or response in response to the confirmation information. This can be realized by response information indicating the importance. Specifically, when the answering machine answering service unit 23 receives an incoming call to the mobile phone 10 in the offline mode, the answering service terminal 23 sends a message “The phone you have called is currently in the offline mode. Send the message “Push 1” and ask the caller to enter “1” if it is urgent or important. When the answering machine answering service unit 23 receives the information representing “1” from the communication terminal device as the caller, the answering machine answering service unit 23 notifies the control unit B25 that the incoming call is urgent or important. When notified from the answering machine response service unit 23 that the incoming call is an emergency or important incoming call, the control unit B25 creates a message as incoming call notification information for the incoming call and transmits the message to the mobile phone 10.

  Alternatively, the answering machine response service unit 23 transmits a message requesting input of identification information, for example, a password, to the caller communication terminal device, and requests the caller to input the password. To do. When the answering machine answering service unit 23 receives the information representing the password from the communication terminal device of the caller, the answering machine 23 determines whether or not the received password matches the password registered in advance. The control unit B25 is notified that the incoming call is an emergency or important incoming call. When notified from the answering machine response service unit 23 that the incoming call is an emergency or important incoming call, the control unit B25 creates a message as incoming call notification information for the incoming call and transmits the message to the mobile phone 10.

  In this way, when an incoming call is received from another communication terminal device to the mobile phone 10 which is the specific mobile communication terminal device, the confirmation information is transmitted to the other communication terminal device of the transmission source, and the incoming call is notified of the incoming call notification information. Since it is confirmed whether or not it is an emergency call to be transmitted to the specific mobile communication terminal device, it is possible to instruct from the other communication terminal device of the transmission source that it is urgent or important. Therefore, urgent or important information can be notified to the mobile communication terminal device according to the intention of the caller.

  For example, if the incoming call is a voice call, the message transmitted from the control unit B25 to the mobile phone 10 may be a caller ID or the like. Alternatively, if the incoming call is an electronic mail, a subject, that is, a subject or a sender's mail address, or a mail text may be sent out. In this case, since there is no response from the mobile phone 10, it may be repeatedly transmitted a plurality of times in order to increase the probability of reception.

  Not only emergency or important incoming calls but also all incoming calls may be notified to the specific mobile communication terminal device. In this way, even when the mobile phone 10 that is a mobile communication terminal device cannot transmit radio waves, the server sends a caller ID to the mobile communication terminal device, so the mobile phone 10 A caller ID etc. can be received. Therefore, even in the offline mode, the server that is the information processing device transmits the incoming notification information, so that the mobile communication terminal device can receive the incoming notification information. The received incoming notification information can be notified to the user by the notification unit 17.

  When the wireless unit B21 receives the offline mode release notification from the mobile phone 10, the control unit B25 cancels the offline mode, restarts the location registration confirmation operation of the mobile phone, and indicates an incoming call to the mobile phone 10 in the offline mode. The incoming call record information is transmitted to the mobile phone 10.

  As described above, since the incoming call to the mobile phone 10 which is a mobile communication terminal device recognized as being located in the offline designated area which is a specific area is stored as incoming call record information, when the offline mode is canceled, The incoming call record information can be transmitted to the telephone 10. Therefore, the mobile phone 10 can reliably receive an incoming call in the offline mode.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a first offline processing procedure processed by the mobile communication system 1 shown in FIG. The processing procedure on the left side of FIG. 4 with “terminal” in the upper part is the processing procedure performed by the mobile phone 10 shown in FIG. 2, and is processed by the control unit A15. The processing procedure on the right side of FIG. 4 with “radio base station or exchange” at the top is the processing procedure performed by the server 20 shown in FIG. 3, and is processed by the control unit B25. When the power of the mobile phone 10 is turned on and the control unit A15 becomes operable, the process proceeds to step S1.

  In step S <b> 1, in a normal operation, that is, in a standby and call ready state, the GPS radio wave reception unit 12 receives radio waves from GPS satellites and transmits the extracted GPS positioning information, that is, positioning data, to the server 20. In step S <b> 2, coordinate calculation of the current position of the mobile phone 10 is performed based on the GPS positioning information received from the mobile phone 10. In step S <b> 3, the current position obtained by coordinate calculation is collated with offline designated area information stored in the offline designated area database unit 22. In step S4, when the current position obtained by coordinate calculation is located in the offline designated area, the process proceeds to step S5, and when not located in the offline designated area, the process returns to step S2.

  In step S5, related offline designated area information indicating the offline designated area where the current position obtained by coordinate calculation is located is obtained from the offline designated area information stored in the offline designated area database unit 22. In step S <b> 6, the acquired related offline designation area information is transmitted to the mobile phone 10. In step S7, the transmitted related offline designation area information is acquired and stored in the terminal information storage unit A14.

  As described above, the server 20 as the information processing apparatus determines whether or not the current position is located in the specific area, that is, the offline designation area, and the mobile phone 10 as the mobile communication terminal apparatus receives the determination result. Therefore, it is not necessary to store a large amount of data indicating the offline designated area. Therefore, the memory capacity of the mobile phone 10 can be reduced, and the apparatus can be reduced in size, weight, and cost.

  Furthermore, since the server 20 can calculate the coordinate calculation of the current position by a CPU having a high processing speed and can use a coordinate correction technique such as AGPS, the coordinate calculation with higher accuracy can be performed. Therefore, the transmission function for transmitting information can be stopped based on more accurate position information.

  In step S <b> 8, based on the determination that the mobile phone 10 is located in the offline designation area, the mobile phone 10 issues an offline mode transition command for instructing the transition to the offline mode. In step S9, when an offline mode transition command is received from the server 20, an offline mode transition command confirmation indicating that the offline mode transition command has been received is sent to the server 20, and the transmission function for transmitting information is stopped, and the wireless unit The RF signal transmission by the A11 RF transmitter 111 is stopped, and the mode is shifted to the offline mode. In step S10, when the offline mode transition command confirmation is received, offline mode information indicating that the mobile phone 10 that has transmitted the offline mode transition command confirmation is in the offline mode is stored in the terminal information storage unit B24. Stop the registration confirmation operation. In step S11, location location related information such as the accommodated radio base station is stored in the terminal information storage unit B24.

  In step S12, the GPS radio wave receiving unit 12 is caused to receive radio waves from GPS satellites and extract GPS positioning information. In step S13, coordinate calculation of the current position specified by the latitude, longitude, and altitude is performed by the mobile phone 10 alone based on the GPS positioning information extracted by the GPS radio wave receiver 12 (hereinafter referred to as single positioning). In step S14, it is compared with the related offline designation area information stored in the terminal information storage unit A14, and it is determined whether or not the current position is located in the offline designation area. When it is located in the offline designated area, the process proceeds to step S19, and when it is not located in the offline designated area, the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S15, it is determined whether there is an incoming call addressed to the mobile phone 10 in the offline mode. Whether or not the mobile phone 10 that has received the call is in the offline mode can be confirmed by the off-in mode information stored in the terminal information storage unit B24. When there is no incoming call, the process returns to step S15, and when there is an incoming call, the process goes to step S16. Incoming calls include incoming voice calls or incoming e-mails.

  In step S16, the contents of the incoming call are stored in the terminal information storage unit B24 as incoming call record information, and it is determined whether the incoming call is urgent or important. When it is not urgent or important, the process returns to step S15, and when it is urgent or important, the process proceeds to step S17. In step S17, incoming notification information, for example, an emergency or important message is created based on the content of the incoming call. In step S18, the created emergency or important message is transmitted to the mobile phone 10.

  In this way, it is possible to determine whether the incoming call satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, whether it is urgent or important, so that only the incoming call that satisfies the predetermined condition is a mobile phone that is a mobile communication terminal device. 10 can be transmitted. Accordingly, only urgent or important incoming calls can be transmitted to the mobile phone 10. All incoming calls may be transmitted to the mobile phone 10 instead of only urgent or important incoming calls.

  In step S19, it is determined whether an urgent or important message has been received from the server 20. When an urgent or important message is not received, the process returns to step S12. When an urgent or important message is received, the process proceeds to step S20. In step S20, the received emergency or important message is stored in the terminal information storage unit A14. In step S21, incoming information indicating that an emergency or important message has arrived is displayed on the notification unit 17 to notify the user of the arrival of an emergency or important message. The notification of the incoming call may be notified to the user by, for example, vibration or light emission such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode).

  In step S22, the stop of the transmission function is canceled, and the stop of the RF signal transmission by the RF transmission unit 111 is canceled to cancel the offline mode. In step S23, an offline mode release notification for notifying the release of the offline mode is transmitted to the server 20. In step S24, for the mobile phone 10 that has transmitted the offline mode release notification, the offline mode information stored in the terminal information storage unit B24 is rewritten with information indicating that it is not the offline mode, and the state immediately before switching to the offline mode. To. In step S25, the location registration confirmation operation of the mobile phone 10 is resumed.

  In this way, the mobile phone 10 stores the related offline designated area information, determines whether or not the mobile phone 10 has gone out of the offline designated area based on the GPS positioning information, and cancels the offline mode. Transmission and transmission of radio waves can be performed. Therefore, the normal operation can be restored without manual operation.

  That is, when it is recognized that the current position is outside the specific area, that is, the offline designated area, the stop of the transmission operation by the transmission function or the stop of the transmission operation by the RF transmission means is canceled, , Information and radio waves can be transmitted.

  Further, the current position is a specific area, that is, offline based on the related specific area information related to the current position acquired from the server 20, that is, the related offline designation area information, after the offline operation, that is, the transmission operation is stopped. Since it is determined whether or not it is located in the designated area, it is not necessary to receive all offline designated area information from the server 20, and it is also necessary to store all offline designated area information in the mobile phone 10 which is a mobile communication terminal device. There is no. Therefore, the amount of communication information can be reduced, and the memory capacity of the mobile phone 10 can be reduced.

  In step S26, all of the incoming record information indicating the incoming call received by the mobile phone 10 during the offline mode and indicating the incoming call addressed to the mobile phone 10 is acquired from the terminal information storage unit B24. In step S27, the acquired incoming call record information is transmitted to the mobile phone 10. In step S28, the incoming call record information is received from the server 20. In step S29, the mobile phone 10 collates the emergency or important message received during the offline mode, that is, the incoming call notification information with the incoming call record information received from the server 20, and there is an unreceived incoming call record information and an error. The incoming call record information corresponding to the incoming call notification information is stored in the terminal information storage unit A14, the incoming call information indicating that there has been an incoming call is displayed on the notification unit 17, the user is notified, and the process ends.

  As described above, during the call suspension period, that is, during the offline mode, all of the incoming record information indicating the incoming call addressed to the mobile phone 10 stored by the server 20 is received from the server 20 and received while the mobile phone 10 is in the offline mode. Urgent or important messages, that is, messages that could not be received because they were compared with incoming notification information, for example, messages that could not be received because they were out of range due to the influence of buildings, etc., or because the radio wave condition was unstable Alternatively, a message that could not be received correctly can be acquired.

  That is, since all the incoming record information received by the server that is the information processing device during the outgoing call suspension period is received and compared with the incoming call notification information indicating the incoming call detected by the incoming call detection function, the incoming call record information without the corresponding incoming call notification information , And incoming call record information corresponding to incoming error notification information can be acquired. Therefore, the mobile phone 10 that is a mobile communication terminal device can reliably receive an incoming call in the offline mode. Furthermore, if the necessary incoming notification information is not received from the server 20 and only necessary information is acquired after comparing the incoming notification information with the incoming record information, no unnecessary communication occurs and time is not increased. And saves traffic.

  The normal operation is the process from step S1 to step S4, the offline start process, that is, the offline mode start is the process from step S5 to step S11, and the offline mode is the process from step S12 to step S21. That is, the end of the offline mode is a process of steps S22 to S29.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a second offline processing procedure processed by the mobile communication system 1 shown in FIG. In the first offline processing procedure shown in FIG. 4, the server 20 determines whether or not it is located in the offline designated area and whether or not the incoming call addressed to the mobile phone 10 in the offline mode is urgent or important. However, in the second offline processing procedure shown in FIG. 5, these processes are performed on the mobile phone 10 side. The second offline processing procedure shown in FIG. 5 has a part that overlaps with the first offline processing procedure shown in FIG. 4, and the different part will be described. When the power of the mobile phone 10 is turned on and the control unit A15 becomes operable, the process proceeds to step T1.

  In step T <b> 1, the GPS radio wave receiving unit 12 receives radio waves from GPS satellites and transmits the extracted GPS positioning information, that is, positioning data, to the server 20. In step T <b> 2, the coordinate calculation of the current position of the mobile phone 10 is performed based on the GPS positioning information received from the mobile phone 10, and the coordinate data obtained by the coordinate calculation is transmitted to the mobile phone 10. In step T3, the current position indicated by the received coordinate data is collated with the offline designated area information stored in the user setting database unit 13. In steps T1 to T3, GPS positioning information is transmitted to the server 20, the current position is obtained by the server 20, and coordinate data indicating the obtained current position is transmitted to the mobile phone 10, but the CPU of the mobile phone 10 If the processing speed of the mobile phone 10 is high, the mobile phone 10 may perform coordinate calculation.

  As described above, since it is determined whether or not the mobile phone is located in the specific area, that is, the offline designated area, based on the specific area information stored in the mobile phone 10 that is the mobile communication terminal device, that is, the offline designated area information. For example, offline designated area information independent of the offline designated area information stored in the server 20 that is an information processing apparatus can be used, and GPS positioning information that is current position information does not have to be transmitted and received. Therefore, a user-specific offline designation area can be set, and when the coordinate position is calculated by independent positioning, it is not necessary to transmit / receive GPS positioning information or the like to / from the server 20 that is an information processing apparatus. There is no charge.

  In step T4, when the current position indicated by the received coordinate data is located in the offline designated area, the process proceeds to step T5, and when not located in the offline designated area, the process returns to step T1. In step T5, the associated offline designation area information indicating the offline designation area where the current position indicated by the received coordinate data is located is acquired from the offline designation area information stored in the user setting database unit 13. In step T6, the acquired related offline designation area information is stored in the terminal information storage unit A14.

  In step T7, an offline mode transition request for requesting transition to the offline mode is transmitted to the server 20. In step T8, an offline mode transition request is received from the mobile phone 10. In step T9, an offline mode transition approval is issued indicating approval for transition to the offline mode.

  In step T10, upon receiving the approval for transition to the offline mode, the transmission function for transmitting information is stopped, and the transmission of the RF signal by the RF transmission unit 111 of the wireless unit A11 is stopped to shift to the offline mode. In step T11, offline mode information indicating that the mobile phone 10 that has shifted to the offline mode is in the offline mode is stored in the terminal information storage unit B24, and the location registration confirmation operation of the mobile phone 10 is stopped. In step T12, location-related information such as the accommodated radio base station is stored in the terminal information storage unit B24.

  In step T13, the GPS radio wave receiving unit 12 is caused to receive radio waves from GPS satellites and extract GPS positioning information. In step T14, independent positioning is performed based on the GPS positioning information extracted by the GPS radio wave receiver 12. In step T15, it is compared with the related offline designated area information stored in the terminal information storage unit A14 to determine whether or not the current position is located in the offline designated area. When the current position is located in the offline designated area, the process proceeds to step T19, and when not located in the offline designated area, the process proceeds to step T23.

  In step T16, it is determined whether there is an incoming call addressed to the mobile phone 10 in the offline mode. Whether or not the mobile phone 10 that has received an incoming call is in the offline mode can be confirmed by the offline mode information stored in the terminal information storage unit B24. When there is no incoming call, the process returns to Step T16, and when there is an incoming call, the process goes to Step T17. In step T17, the contents of the incoming call are stored in the terminal information storage unit B24 as incoming record information, and incoming call notification information for notifying the mobile phone 10, that is, an incoming message is created. In step T18, the created incoming message is transmitted to the mobile phone 10.

  In step T19, it is determined whether an incoming message has been received from the server 20. When the incoming message is not received, the process returns to step T13, and when the incoming message is received, the process proceeds to step T20. In step T20, the received incoming message is stored in the terminal information storage unit A14.

  In step T21, it is determined whether the received message is urgent or important. When it is not urgent or important, the process returns to step T13, and when it is urgent or important, the process proceeds to step T22. In step T22, incoming information indicating that an emergency or important message has arrived is displayed on the notification unit 17 to notify the user of the arrival of an emergency or important message. Whether it is urgent or important is, for example, whether the number of incoming calls after entering the offline mode has exceeded the predetermined number of incoming calls, or whether the number of incoming calls within the predetermined period has exceeded the predetermined number of incoming calls Alternatively, it can be determined based on conditions such as whether or not the caller is a predetermined caller.

  Thus, since it can be determined whether the incoming call satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, whether it is urgent or important, it is possible to notify the user only of an urgent or important incoming call.

  Furthermore, since the predetermined condition is the number of incoming calls equal to or higher than the predetermined number of incoming calls, or the number of incoming calls equal to or higher than the predetermined number of incoming calls within a predetermined time, the number of incoming calls according to the number of incoming calls or within the predetermined time Depending on whether it is urgent or important. Therefore, when there are many incoming calls from the same party, or when there are multiple incoming calls from the same party within a predetermined time, only the incoming call can be notified to the user.

  Furthermore, since the predetermined condition is caller information indicating the caller, that is, the predetermined caller, it is possible to determine whether it is urgent or important depending on the caller. Therefore, it is possible to notify the user only of incoming calls from a specific partner.

  Steps T23 to T30 correspond to steps S22 to S29 shown in FIG.

  6 and 7 are diagrams showing a third offline processing procedure processed by the mobile communication system 1 shown in FIG. The third offline processing procedure is obtained by adding processing that enables outgoing calls to urgent destinations, for example, outgoing numbers, to the first offline processing procedure shown in FIG. 1, and is shown in FIG. Step U1 to Step U18 and Step U20 to Step U30 correspond to Step S1 to Step S18 and Step S19 to Step S29 shown in FIG.

  In step U19 shown in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not a transmission number has been input by the input unit 16. When the transmission number is input, the process proceeds to step U31 shown in FIG. 7, and when the transmission number is not input, the process proceeds to step U20. The input of the calling number is not limited to the input from the key button, but may be called by the telephone book function or input by the voice recognition function. In step U31, it is determined whether or not the input transmission number is a specific transmission number registered in advance as a specific destination. The specific calling number is a number registered in advance in the terminal information storage unit A14. In the case of Japan, for example, in the case of Japan, the police is “110”, the fire fighting is “119”, and the maritime security is “118”. The emergency special number is a number registered in advance by the manufacturer at the time of shipment, or a number uniquely set by the owner. When the input call number matches the specific call number, the process proceeds to step U32. When the input call number does not match the specific call number, the process returns to step U12 shown in FIG.

  In Step U32, the stop of the transmission operation by the transmission function is canceled, and the offline mode is temporarily canceled. In step U33, a call to the input call number is started. In step U34, it is determined whether or not the call is completed. If the call is not completed, the process returns to step U34, and if the call is completed, the process proceeds to step U35. In step U35, the transmission operation by the transmission function is stopped, the offline mode is resumed, and the process returns to step U12 shown in FIG.

  In this way, when a transmission number that matches a predetermined specific transmission number is input, the stop of the transmission operation by the transmission function is canceled, so that the transmission can be made to that transmission number. Therefore, by registering a call number that may be urgently required as a predetermined call number, an emergency call can be made even by entering the call number even in the offline mode.

  6 and 7, it is determined whether or not the transmission number is input only during the offline mode. However, whether or not the transmission number is input also during the offline start process and the offline end process. It may be determined whether or not an emergency call can be made.

  Furthermore, when it is determined whether or not the emergency call number is registered in advance and emergency call is possible, identification information such as a password or password is registered and the registered identification information is input Alternatively, the offline mode may be temporarily canceled so that a call can be made to the input call number.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a fourth offline processing procedure processed by the mobile communication system 1 shown in FIG. In the first offline processing procedure shown in FIG. 4, the server 20 detects whether or not it is located in the offline designated area and shifts to the offline mode. In the fourth offline processing procedure shown in FIG. Transition to the mode is performed by an offline switch provided in the mobile phone 10. The fourth offline processing procedure shown in FIG. 8 has an overlapping part with the first offline processing procedure shown in FIG. 4, and the different part will be described. When the power of the mobile phone 10 is turned on and the control unit A15 becomes operable, the process proceeds to step V1.

  In step V1, it is determined whether an offline switch provided in the mobile phone 10 has been pressed. The offline switch is a switch provided in the input unit 16, for example. When the offline switch is pressed, the process proceeds to step V2, and when the offline switch is not pressed, the process returns to step V1. In step V2, an offline mode transition request for requesting transition to the offline mode is transmitted to the server 20. In Step V3, an offline mode transition request is received from the mobile phone 10. In step V4, an offline mode transition approval is issued indicating approval for transition to the offline mode.

  In step V5, upon receipt of the offline mode transition approval, the transmission function for transmitting information is stopped, and the transmission of the RF signal by the RF transmission unit 111 of the wireless unit A11 is stopped to shift to the offline mode. In step V6, offline mode information indicating that the mobile phone 10 that has shifted to the offline mode is in the offline mode is stored in the terminal information storage unit B24, and the location registration confirmation operation of the mobile phone 10 is stopped. In step V7, location-related information such as the accommodated radio base station is stored in the terminal information storage unit B24.

  In step V8, it is determined whether or not an offline release switch provided in the mobile phone 10 has been pressed. The off-line release switch is a switch provided in the input unit 16, for example. When the offline release switch is pressed, the process proceeds to step V16. When the offline switch is not pressed, the process proceeds to step V13. Steps V9 to V23 correspond to steps S15 to S29 shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8, the offline switch and the offline release switch are configured as separate switches. However, when one switch is pressed and the switch is pressed when not in the offline mode, the switch to the offline mode is instructed and offline. When pressed in the mode, it may be determined that an instruction to cancel the offline mode is given.

  In this manner, for example, the switch can be switched to the offline mode, that is, transmission of information or radio waves can be stopped. Therefore, it is possible to stop the transmission of information or radio waves while performing an incoming call detection operation by manual operation.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the transition to the offline mode is performed only by the offline switch, but it may be used together with the GPS positioning information shown in FIGS.

  Furthermore, when the mobile phone 10 detects a signal transmitted from the transmitting device, the mobile device 10 prepares a transmitting device for transmitting a signal indicating that it is an offline designated area in another method, for example, the transition to the offline mode. When the mode is shifted to the offline mode and the signal from the transmitting device is no longer detected, the offline mode may be canceled.

  Alternatively, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) may be used. Specifically, every time an IC (Integrated Circuit) tag is mounted on the mobile phone 10 and a transmitter / receiver for accessing the IC tag is installed at the input / output gate in the offline designated area, the mobile phone 10 passes through the input / output gate. In addition, the offline mode may be switched by accessing the IC tag. Alternatively, the mobile phone 10 may be equipped with a transmitter / receiver for accessing the IC tag, and the IC tag may be installed at the input / output gate.

  In the embodiment described above, when the offline mode is canceled, nothing is notified to the user, but when the mode is switched to the offline mode and when the offline mode is canceled, information indicating that the mode has been switched, for example, You may notify a user by displaying on the notification part 17. FIG. Further, an icon indicating the current mode may be displayed on the notification unit 17.

  In the above-described embodiment, the server 20 performs processing such as coordinate calculation of the current position of the mobile phone 10, determination of whether or not the mobile phone 10 is located in the offline designation area, transmission and recording of incoming information during the offline mode, and the like. These processes may be performed by a plurality of servers instead of a single server.

  In the embodiment described above, all of the incoming record information indicating the incoming call addressed to the mobile phone 10 in the offline mode is transmitted from the server 20 to the mobile phone 10 after the release of the offline mode. Alternatively, only the incoming call record indicating the incoming call that could not be detected by the mobile phone 10 may be transmitted from the server 20.

  In the above-described embodiment, when it is confirmed that the mobile communication terminal device is not located in the offline designated area, or when a specific call number is entered, that is, the offline mode is canceled by a request from the mobile communication terminal device. However, if an incident such as a disaster such as an earthquake or flood or an act of terrorism occurs or is predicted, for example, the exchange station will instruct the mobile communication terminal device to cancel offline, and normal calls and communications It is also possible to perform control such as making it possible to restore the position registration / confirmation operation while restricting outgoing calls and communications.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example using the mobile phone 10 has been described as the mobile communication terminal device. However, the mobile terminal includes a PDA, a notebook personal computer, a mobile terminal having a communication function such as car navigation, and the mobile terminal. It is suitable for a mobile communication system.
