Further, the telephone communication unit 5 takes in the voice data input from the transmission microphone 8 from the acoustic control unit 6, encodes it into a transmission baseband signal, and then gives it to the transmission side of the transmission / reception unit to output from the antenna. . On the other hand, the display data received and acquired via the telephone communication unit 5 by the e-mail function, the Internet connection function, etc. is given to the main display unit 10 such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) via the display control unit 9 for display output. Is done. The sub display unit 11 displays the current date and time, a simple message, an icon, and the like.

  The key operation unit 12 performs dial input, character input, password input, command input, and the like. The CPU 1 executes processing according to a key input signal from the key operation unit 12. A card IF (interface) unit 13 is a slot in which a subscriber card 14 in which subscriber information and the like are recorded is inserted into the slot unit. The card IF (interface) unit 13 reads and writes subscriber information and the like with respect to the subscriber card 14. Do. The subscriber card 14 is a SIM card or a UIM (User Identity Module) card, and is a recording medium in which various subscriber information is recorded in advance. The subscriber card 14 is attached to the card IF unit 13 when the telephone device is used. I have to.

FIG. 2 shows the recorded contents of the subscriber card 14.
In this subscriber card 14, “subscriber registration number (user identification information)”, “subscriber telephone number”, etc. are recorded as subscriber information, as well as “call charge”, “emergency contact number”, "Password" is recorded. This “subscriber telephone number” is also stored in the storage unit 2 on the mobile phone device side, and when the subscriber card 14 is inserted into the card IF unit 13, the CPU 1 reads from the subscriber card 14. It is determined whether or not the user's proper subscriber card 14 is installed by comparing the “subscriber telephone number” read by the card IF unit 13 with the “subscriber telephone number” read from the storage unit 2. Like to do. In this way, when the subscriber card 14 is mounted, the identity is confirmed from the “subscriber telephone number”, and the lock state of the mobile phone device is maintained or released according to the determination result.

  The “emergency contact number” is a telephone number registered in advance for the user himself / herself to contact his / her family member in the event of an emergency such as an accident or illness. In order to distinguish from subscriber information, an emergency identification flag (circle in the figure) is added. Here, if the subscriber telephone numbers do not match as a result of checking the subscriber telephone numbers described above, there is a possibility that, for example, a third-party subscriber card 14 is mounted as an unauthorized card. After instructing the card IF unit 13 to read the “emergency contact number”, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the “emergency contact number” is recorded on the subscriber card 14. In this case, if the “emergency contact number” is not recorded, the mobile phone device is locked and prohibited from being used, but if the “emergency contact number” is recorded, this “emergency contact number” is prohibited. Emergency processing based on the “contact number” is executed.

It is determined whether the device is set to the restricted lock state. If the device is unlocked, its use is permitted. If the device is in the restricted lock state, there is a possibility of unauthorized use by a third party. After instructing the card IF unit 13 to read the “emergency contact number”, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the “emergency contact number” is recorded on the subscriber card 14. In this case, if "Emergency Contact Number" is not recorded, password authentication processing is executed. If "Emergency Contact Number" is recorded, this "Emergency Contact Number" is performed without password authentication. The emergency process based on "is executed.

  Next, the operation concept of the cellular phone device in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. In addition, the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via the transmission medium can be sequentially executed. In other words, in addition to the recording medium, an operation peculiar to this embodiment can be executed by using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

3 to 5 are flowcharts showing the overall operation of the mobile phone device that is started to be executed when the power is turned on.
First, the CPU 1 checks whether or not the subscriber card 14 is installed in the slot of the card IF unit 13 (step S1). If the subscriber card 14 is not installed when the power is turned on, the CPU 1 prompts the subscriber card 14 to be installed. After displaying an NG message indicating an error together with the message (step S2), the power is turned off, but if the subscriber card 14 is mounted when the power is turned on (YES in step S1), the card IF unit 13 "Subscriber telephone number" is instructed to be read, and in response to this, the "subscriber telephone number" read from the subscriber card 14 via the card IF unit 13 and the "subscriber telephone number" stored internally are stored. Number ”is compared to determine whether or not they match (step S3).

  As a result of checking the subscriber telephone numbers described above, if they do not match (NO in step S4), an emergency confirmation screen is displayed on the main display unit 10 (step S5). FIG. 6 is a diagram showing this emergency confirmation screen. In this emergency confirmation screen, an “emergency button” is arranged and displayed, and a message for inquiring whether or not emergency processing can be executed is displayed, and a guidance display is displayed indicating that the “emergency button” should be operated during emergency contact on behalf of the person. If the “emergency button” is not operated (NO in step S6), it is not during an emergency call, but because the person himself / herself has installed a wrong card or another person's card, step S2. Then, after displaying an NG message indicating an error together with a message prompting the user to replace the card with a regular card, the power is turned off.

  Here, the “emergency button” is operated when a third party makes an emergency contact on behalf of the person. In other words, the person himself / herself has fallen down due to an accident or illness, and the person himself / herself cannot contact his / her family, etc. This is a case where the subscriber card 14 is extracted from the mobile phone device attached to a mobile phone device owned by a third party. In such a case, the CPU 1 responds to the operation of the “emergency button” (YES in step S 6), instructs the card IF unit 13 to read the “emergency contact number”, and then instructs the subscriber card 14. It is determined whether the “emergency contact number” is recorded (step S7). As a result, if the “emergency contact number” is not recorded on the subscriber card 14, an NG message is displayed and output (step S 2), the power is turned off, but the “emergency contact number” is recorded. If so (YES in step S7), an emergency call screen is displayed and output (step S8).

  FIG. 7 shows the emergency call screen. On this emergency call screen, “emergency contact number” is displayed in guidance and “call button” is arranged and displayed. By recording the “relationship with the person” on the subscriber card 14, the relationship between the person and the emergency contact information (for example, a relationship for a family member) is displayed on the emergency call screen. May be. Here, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the “call button” has been operated (step S9), or determines whether or not a power OFF operation has been performed (step S10). Now, when the “call button” is operated, this “emergency contact number” is designated as the call destination (step S11), and the telephone call is made using the “subscriber phone number” in the card as the caller (step S12). ). In this case, when the line connection is established, the communication state is maintained until the line connection is interrupted (step S13). When connection is not possible or the line is cut off, the screen returns to the emergency call screen (step S8).

  On the other hand, as a result of collating the subscriber telephone numbers described above, if they match (YES in step S4), this is a case where the user's regular subscriber card 14 is installed, and the flow proceeds to FIG. The CPU 1 determines whether or not the mobile phone device is under the limit lock (security lock) when the power is turned on (step 14). If the limit lock is released (NO in step S14), the power is supplied. All functions are set to an operable state (step S15). Then, the telephone communication unit 5 is activated to register the current position, and a standby state for telephone / mail is set while a predetermined standby image is read out and displayed (step S16).

  In this state, when it is detected that there is an incoming call / mail (YES in step S17), an incoming call notification for generating and outputting an incoming melody is performed, and a call or mail incoming process is executed (step S18). In addition, if any operation is performed in the standby state (YES in step S19), if it is not a power-off operation (NO in step S20), as processing corresponding to the operation, for example, transmission processing, mail creation After performing processing, mail transmission processing, and the like (step S21), the mobile phone enters a standby state (step S16). Thereafter, the above-described operation is repeated until the power-off operation is performed (YES in step S20).

  If the restriction is detected when the subscriber telephone number matches (YES in step S14), the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 5, and the CPU 1 responds to the operation of the “emergency button” with respect to the card IF unit 13. After instructing reading of the “emergency contact number”, it is determined whether or not the “emergency contact number” is recorded on the subscriber card 14 (step S22). If the “emergency contact number” is not recorded, After the password input screen is displayed and output (step S25), a password input waiting state is entered (step S26).

  Here, when the password is input, the CPU 1 obtains the “password” recorded in the subscriber card 14 and compares it with the input password to determine whether they match (step S27). . As a result, when a password mismatch is detected, a message prompting for a regular password and an NG message indicating an error are displayed and output (step S28), and then the power is turned off, but the password match is detected. If so (YES in step S27), the process returns to step S15 in FIG. 4 to set all functions to an operable state.

  If an “emergency contact number” is recorded (YES in step S22), an emergency call screen similar to that described above is displayed and output (step S23), and then the “emergency button” in the emergency confirmation screen is displayed. It is checked whether it has been operated (step S24). Here, the “emergency button” is operated when a third party makes an emergency contact using the mobile phone in a state where the subscriber card 14 is attached to the mobile phone device of the person. If the “emergency button” is not operated (NO in step S24), the password input screen is displayed and output (step S25), and then the password input is waited (step S26), but the “emergency button” is operated. If yes (YES in step S24), the process proceeds to step S8 in FIG. 3 to display and output the emergency call screen described above. In the same manner, in the following, in response to the operation of the “call button”, the CPU 1 designates “emergency contact number” as the call destination and makes a call using the “subscriber phone number” in the card as the call source. (Steps S9 to S13).

 As described above, in this embodiment, when the subscriber card 14 is attached to the card IF unit 13, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the genuine card of the person is attached, and the unauthorized card is attached. If an "Emergency Contact Number" is recorded on the card, the emergency process based on this "Emergency Contact Number" is executed, for example, the person himself or herself by an accident, illness, etc. Even if a third party pulls out the subscriber card 14 from his / her mobile phone and attaches it to a mobile phone owned by a third party, the emergency contact on behalf of the person It can be performed.

 In addition, when the user's authorized subscriber card 14 is attached and the “emergency contact number” is recorded in the card, the CPU 1 sets a restriction lock (terminal lock) when the power is turned on. Even if the user is in an emergency, the emergency process based on this “emergency contact number” is executed, so that a third party can make an emergency call using his / her mobile phone on behalf of the person at the time of the accident. It can be carried out.

 In this case, as an emergency process, the emergency contact address can be known by a third party by reading out the telephone number of the emergency contact address and displaying it. In addition, as an emergency process, by making a call to the telephone number of the emergency contact using the “subscriber telephone number” recorded in the subscriber card 14 as a caller, direct oral communication is possible. Become. In addition, an emergency confirmation screen including a message for inquiring whether or not emergency processing can be executed and an “emergency button” is displayed, and the emergency processing is started on condition of the operation of this “emergency button”. can do.

  In the above-described embodiment, the restriction lock that makes it impossible to use the telephone device when the power is turned on is illustrated. However, the lock is not limited to when the power is turned on, for example, depending on the current time zone, It may be a time lock that limits the time. In addition, in a mobile phone device having a GPS (Global Positioning System) function, a location lock that restricts the use of the phone device according to the current location may be used.
