Description

  The present invention relates to a terminal automatic setting system, a control area information transmission device, a server device, a portable terminal device, and a program, and in particular, automatically sets a function that enables the operation of a terminal according to a reception status of a recognition signal transmitted by a recognition signal transmission device. The present invention relates to a terminal automatic setting system, a control area information transmitting device, a server device, a portable terminal device, and a program that are set up automatically.

  In recent years, mobile terminals that can be easily carried by individuals, such as mobile phones and notebook PCs, have been rapidly spreading.

  Due to the shape of these mobile terminals, a usage form in which one individual has one terminal is common, and terminal users often carry their own personal information in these terminals.

  A terminal device control system that uses wireless communication between two devices incorporates one into a mobile terminal, and the other is carried by the user as a wearable key or card, so that the user using the mobile terminal is fixed from the mobile terminal. When the user is away, the usage is automatically restricted, preventing other users from using the mobile terminal without permission.

  As a specific example, Patent Document 1 discloses a device use restriction device. This apparatus includes an identification signal transmission unit and a use restriction releasing unit provided integrally with a device subject to use restriction (such as a mobile phone).

  An identification code signal from the identification signal transmission unit is received by the use restriction release unit, and a use restriction release signal is output to the target device based on the received signal. If there is a confirmation code signal sent back to the identification signal transmission unit, it is in a normal state. When the two units are separated by a certain distance or more, the reception level is lowered, so that the use restriction release unit stops the release signal, and the identification signal transmission unit gives a warning.

  With the system as described above, the usage environment of the mobile terminal can be made safer.

  Here, the use restriction of the portable terminal realized by the system as described above is discriminated based on whether it is closer or farther than a certain fixed distance between the two devices.

  For example, the user may go home and use the mobile terminal with the wearable key away from the skin.

  In this case, it is ideal that the usage of the mobile terminal is not restricted even if there is some distance from the key, unlike the usage scene that is assumed when going out, such as applying usage restriction when the distance from the key is even a little. is there.

  In addition, it is desirable that such usage restriction switching is automatically switched according to the usage scene by the user.

  That is, in the manual switching method, there is a problem that due to human error, the setting when staying at home is set to “setting when staying at home” and the use restriction is not expected. Especially in the security field, human error is often the biggest problem.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a user with higher safety and convenience by adding an automatic change function of restriction contents according to the usage status of a terminal to a terminal device control function using wireless communication between two devices.

  The control target terminal 2 includes a recognition signal receiving unit 21, a recognition ID storage unit 22, a terminal function control unit 23, a determination content reception unit 24, a terminal setting information storage unit 25, and a terminal main control unit 26.

  The recognition signal receiving unit 21 receives a signal transmitted from the recognition signal transmission unit 1. When receiving, it also has a function of monitoring the waveform pattern of the signal and the intensity of the radio wave propagating the signal.

  It also has an ID conversion function for uniquely identifying the transmission source unit from the signal waveform pattern.

  It is determined whether or not the ID converted here matches the ID stored in the recognition ID storage unit 22.

  The recognition ID storage unit 22 stores ID information for specifying a recognition signal. By recognizing this ID with the unit identification ID of the recognition signal transmission unit 1, the recognition signal receiving unit 21 recognizes that the signal from the recognition signal transmission unit 1 is directed to itself.

  The terminal function control unit 23 receives information on the signal reception status (hereinafter, recognition signal information) from the recognition signal reception unit 21 and controls the terminal main control unit 26 based on the signal reception status known from the information. The setting contents such as which one of the functions related to the direct operation of the terminal 2 is enabled and which is disabled are determined.

  When determining this setting content, it takes out from the terminal setting information storage unit 25 and table information (hereinafter referred to as determination table information) describing the setting content to be selected according to the reception status received from the determination content receiving unit 24. Table information (hereinafter referred to as setting table information) in which restrictions of actual terminal functions held by the terminal main control unit 26 are described is used.

  The determination content receiving unit 24 has a function of establishing a radio link with the control area information transmission unit 3 and receiving the control area information 4. Further, it has a function of extracting determination table information from the received control area information 4 and passing it to the terminal function control unit 23.

  The wireless link established with the control area information transmission unit 3 uses an existing wireless communication protocol (wireless LAN, Bluetooth, etc.).

  A more detailed description will be given later with reference to FIG.

  The terminal setting information storage unit 25 stores setting table information. The setting table information describes specific terminal functions of the terminal main control unit 26 and setting contents that can be taken by each function.

  The terminal main control unit 26 is implemented with main functions provided to the terminal user by the control target terminal 2.

  For example, when a terminal is compared with a mobile phone, a call function, a volume setting function, a vibration function, a WEB browsing function, a PIM (Personal-Information-Manager) data management function, and the like correspond thereto.

  PIM data is data of a personal information management tool such as a telephone directory and a schedule table.

  The control area information transmission unit 3 operates under program control, and includes a determination content transmission unit 31 and a determination information storage unit 32. The determination content transmission unit 31 has a function of generating the control area information 4 and transmitting it to the control target terminal 2.

  When the control area information 4 is transmitted, a wireless link is established with the terminal 2 to be controlled, and then transmitted. The wireless link uses an existing wireless communication protocol (wireless LAN, Bluetooth, etc.).

  The generation of the control area information 4 is controlled by the ID assigned to the control area information transmission unit 3 and the control area (recognized signal transmission unit 1 as the center, and the recognition signal reception status from now on, stored in the determination information storage unit 32. Information regarding the operation content corresponding to each point (distance from the center) in the control area (hereinafter, an outline operation flag value).

  The determination information storage unit 32 stores the ID assigned to the control area information transmission unit 3, the maximum value of the control area, and the outline operation flag value.

  Although a plurality of control area information transmission units 3 are not shown in FIG. 1, they are provided at the terminal user's home, workplace, various facilities, etc., and transmit control area information according to the respective installation locations.

  For example, the control area information transmission unit 3 at home increases the point in the area for the outline operation equivalent to “PERSONAL” compared to those in the workplace, various facilities, and the like.

  In addition, there is an example in which the control area information transmission unit 3 placed at each place switches control area information transmitted in a time zone such as daytime / nighttime.

  FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing a more detailed internal configuration of the determination content receiving unit 24. The determination content receiving unit 24 includes a network interface unit 241, a determination table generation unit 242, and a control content identifier storage unit 243.

  The network interface unit 241 has a function of establishing a radio link with the control area information transmission unit 3. It also has a function of transferring data transferred via the wireless link to the determination table generation unit 242.

  As a specific example, the network interface unit 241 is assumed to be a wireless LAN interface.

  The determination table generation unit 242 extracts data related to the control area information 4 from the data transferred from the network interface unit 241.

  Further, based on the outline operation flag value included in the extracted control area information 4, ID information corresponding to each item of the setting table corresponding to the flag value is extracted from the control content identifier storage unit 243 and extracted first. The determination table information is generated in combination with the control area information 4 and transferred to the terminal function control unit 23.

  The control content identifier storage unit 243 stores table information (hereinafter, summary operation) in which an ID (hereinafter, setting ID) allocated to each item of the setting table of the terminal setting information storage unit 25 and a summary operation flag value are associated with each other. Flag value-setting ID correspondence table) is stored.

  This setting ID is used to collectively set a set of terminal functions and setting contents described in each item of the table, and the terminal function control unit 23 specifies the set.

  Next, data handled when the functions of the present embodiment are realized will be described.

  FIG. 4 explains details of the control area information 4. The ID of the control area information transmission unit 3 is used by the control target terminal 2 to identify the control area information transmission unit 3.

  The maximum value of the control area indicates the maximum value (radius or the like) of the control area developed around the recognition signal transmission unit 1.

  The outline operation flag value table describes the functional operations that the control target terminal 2 should take according to the points in the control area (the distance from the recognition signal transmission unit 1 as the center). Consists of corresponding summary action flag values.

  The point in the control area is expressed as a ratio when the maximum value of the control area is “100”. The smaller the value shown here, the closer to the recognition signal transmission unit 1.

  Further, the value shown in this table indicates the maximum value for which the related outline operation flag value can be selected. That is, taking FIG. 4 as an example, the actual value corresponding to 10/100 is between 0/100 and 10/100, and the actual value corresponding to 50/100 is between 10/100 and 50/100. .

  The outline operation flag value conceptually indicates the operation (or state) of the control target terminal 2 to be taken in an area within the range indicated by the control area point.

  For example, “PERSONAL” indicates that the control target terminal 2 is held by the user, and “CHARGING” indicates that the control target terminal 2 is being charged and is placed on the charging stand at a location away from the user. It shows that.

  By using such a conceptual expression, the function of the control target terminal 2 is not limited, and the system can be adapted to any portable terminal.

  FIG. 5 explains details of the summary operation flag value-setting ID correspondence table.

  In this table, the setting ID that the control target terminal 2 should take according to the outline operation flag value is associated with each function of the control target terminal 2.

  The value “DRIVING” of the outline operation flag indicates that when the vehicle-mounted control area information transmission unit 3 detects the drive start operation of the vehicle, the control area information alone outline operation until the drive end operation or the parking operation is detected. Since it transmits as a flag value, it corresponds to this.

  The value “HOSPITAL” of the outline operation flag is transmitted because the control area information transmission unit 3 installed in a facility or place such as a hospital where quietness is required transmits as a single outline operation flag value of the control area information. It corresponds to.

  In these control area information, the area maximum value is specified, but the in-area point information is not included.

  This table is stored in the control content identifier storage unit 243 in advance at the manufacturing stage or by downloading from the service center.

  FIG. 6 explains details of the determination table information.

  This table is generated by the determination content receiving unit 24 using the general operation flag values of the general operation flag value table and the general operation flag value-setting ID correspondence table as keys.

  FIG. 7 explains details of the setting table information.

  This table is prepared for each function of the control target terminal 2 and describes specific operation contents for the setting ID.

  Here, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are used as an example to show how the setting content of the telephone function of the control target terminal 2 changes depending on the distance from the recognition signal transmission unit 1.

  According to FIGS. 6 and 7, when the recognition signal transmission unit 1 and the control target terminal 2 with the control area point of 0/100 to 10/100 are close to each other, the setting ID related to the telephone function is 10−. Takes a value of 01.

  The specific telephone function settings corresponding to the setting ID: 10-01 are: OK for incoming / outgoing calls, ON for the vibration function, and “Small” for incoming call volume.

  Further, when the distance between the recognition signal transmission unit 1 and the control target terminal 2 is 10/100 to 50/100 within a control area point, the setting ID related to the telephone function takes a value of 10-02. .

  The specific telephone function setting corresponding to the setting ID: 10-02 is that incoming and outgoing calls are limited to incoming calls only, the vibration function is OFF, and the incoming call volume is “high”.

  Further, when the distance between the recognition signal transmission unit 1 and the control target terminal 2 with a control area point of 50/100 to 100/100 is greatly separated, the setting ID related to the telephone function takes a value of 10-03. .

  The specific telephone function setting corresponding to the setting ID: 10-03 is the answering machine answer mode (no ringer volume, vibration function OFF).

  Finally, that the point in the control area is “OUT OF RANGE” means that the control target terminal 2 is outside the control area of the recognition signal transmission unit 1.

  At this time, the setting ID takes a value of 10-04, and the telephone function cannot be used completely.

  As described above, using the determination table information and the setting table information, the setting contents of the telephone function that are appropriate at each point in the control area can be determined according to the distance relationship between the recognition signal transmission unit 1 and the control target terminal 2. Can be changed automatically.

  Next, the operation of the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a series of operations of the control target terminal 2 in the present embodiment.

  This flowchart starts from the case where the control target terminal 2 forms a wireless link with the control area information transmission unit 3 (step 1).

  The control target terminal 2 that has formed a wireless link with the control area information transmission unit 3 using the network interface unit 241 receives the control area information 4 sent from the control area information transmission unit 3 (step 2), and the determination contents Determination table information is generated based on the control area information 4 at the receiving unit (step 3).

  When the determination table information is generated, the control target terminal 2 next confirms the reception state of the recognition signal transmitted from the recognition signal transmission unit 1 in the recognition signal receiving unit 21 (step 4).

  At this time, it is assumed that the recognition signal is sent from the recognition signal transmission unit 1 at an arbitrary timing.

  Further, the recognition signal receiving unit 21 collates the ID extracted from the recognition signal with the ID stored in the recognition ID storage unit 22 to determine whether or not the received recognition signal has been transmitted to its own device. Check.

  If it is found as a result of the verification that the signal is not directed to itself, the received recognition signal is ignored and is not reflected in the information related to the recognition signal reception status of the recognition signal receiver 21.

  Thereafter, the control target terminal 2 enters a process of changing the setting content of the terminal according to the reception status of the recognition signal.

  First, it is confirmed whether or not the determination table information held by the determination content receiving unit 24 has been updated (step 5).

  If the determination table information has been updated before (step 5: Yes), the control target terminal 2 enters a process of determining the setting content according to the reception status of the recognition signal in the terminal function control unit 23 (step) 7).

  On the other hand, if the determination table information has not been updated (step 5: No), the control target terminal 2 enters a process of determining whether the reception status of the recognition signal has changed in the terminal function control unit 23. (Step 6).

  In step 6, the reception status change determination is performed by using the control area point calculated from the maximum value of the control area included in the control area information 4 and the actual signal reception status obtained by the recognition signal receiving unit 21 as the general operation flag value. This is done by checking against the table.

  Using FIG. 4 as an example, when the point in the control area is changed from 40/100 to 70/100, the outline operation flag value to be selected is changed from “MIDDLE_RANGE” to “CHARGING”. Is considered to have changed.

  On the other hand, when the point in the control area is changed from 40/100 to 20/100, the outline operation flag value to be selected remains “MIDDLE_RANGE”, so it is assumed that the reception status has not changed.

  If it is determined in step 6 that the reception status of the recognition signal has changed (step 6: Yes), the control target terminal 2 sets the specific setting contents according to the reception status as in the case of step 5: Yes. Processing for determination is entered (step 7).

  The specific setting contents are determined by the terminal function control unit 23 using the determination table information.

  A recognition ID is determined based on the previously determined point in the control area, and specific setting contents are determined based on the setting table information extracted from the terminal setting information storage unit 25 based on the ID.

  After the specific setting contents are determined in step 7, the controlled terminal 2 determines its own operation by applying the specific setting contents determined by the terminal function control unit 23 to the terminal main control unit 26 (step 8).

  Incidentally, if it is determined in step 6 that the reception status of the recognition signal has not changed (step 6: No), a series of processing for changing the setting contents according to the reception status described above (steps 7-8) ) Is not performed.

  After performing a series of processes for changing the terminal function based on the reception status of the recognition signal as described above, the control target terminal 2 enters an operation of confirming the status of the radio link with the control area information transmission unit 3. (Step 9).

  If the state of the wireless link has not changed, the control target terminal 2 moves to a process of confirming the reception status of the recognition signal (step 4).

  On the other hand, if the state of the wireless link has changed, the process proceeds to the step of reconnecting the wireless link (step 1).

  In this way, by periodically checking the status of the radio link with the control area information transmission unit 3 and the recognition signal sent from the recognition signal transmission unit 1, the setting contents corresponding to each status change can be obtained. Make changes happen in real time.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, only the ID of the control area information transmission unit 3 is included in the control area information 4 so that the information regarding the actual setting contents is held by the control target terminal 2.

  That is, instead of the control area information transmission unit 3, a control device that transmits identification information such as a unit ID is provided.

  The information included in the control area information 4 is only the ID of the control device, and the control target terminal 2 has a plurality of determination tables in association with the ID.

  That is, the determination table list storage unit stores the maximum value of the control area, one or more outline operation flag values to be applied to the control area, distance information from the center of the area as an application condition of each flag value, and each flag value. A plurality of pieces of determination table information made up of function setting information are stored in association with the control device ID.

  The determination content receiving unit 24 receives the control device ID from the control device, reads the maximum value associated with the control device ID and the determination table information from the determination table list storage unit, and holds them as a current determination table.

  The terminal function control unit 23 periodically checks the reception status of the current determination table and the recognition signal. When the update or change is detected, the terminal function control unit 23 determines the reception status as the maximum value of the current determination table and distance information of each flag value. And the corresponding general operation flag value is determined, and if different from the currently applied flag value, each function of the own apparatus is set using setting information corresponding to the determined flag value.

  The control device may be a device installed at the terminal user's home, workplace, various facilities, etc., and the identification information is periodically provided by a device placed at the nearest base station of the home, workplace, various facilities. An apparatus that transmits or transmits (an apparatus that transmits a beacon radio wave or the like) may be used.

  In this case, the control area information 4 between the control target terminal 2A and the server device 3A is exchanged using a specific protocol (mainly a presence protocol) over a communication link.

An information request unit 27 is included, which adds a specific parameter transferred from the parameter generation unit 28 to the request and transmits the request.

  The specific parameters in this case are (1) position information, (2) temperature information, and (3) light quantity information, respectively.

The control area information request unit 27 holds the communication address (URL, etc.) of the server device 3A.
Alternatively, the address of the communication address storage unit is held.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the server device 3A receives the request for acquisition, looks at the parameters included in the request, and determines whether or not to pass the control area information 4 and how to pass it. A control area information determination unit 34 that determines whether to pass control area information 4 is also provided.

  The communication unit 33 performs communication through the Internet 100. The determination information storage unit 32A stores a plurality of pieces of control area information.

  Moreover, the identification of the control area information corresponding to the positional information of public facilities and places where quietness is required for an unspecified number of users is stored.

  The control area information determination unit 34 accesses the determination data storage unit 35 by the transmission source address or user identification, and accesses the common determination data if the position information is not registered.

  If the position information is registered, the control area information for the identification is read from the determination information storage unit 32A and transmitted as response information.
