(Operation of Example 1)
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing operations among the monitoring device 30, the monitoring mobile phone 40, the disturbance device 50, and the base station 60 of FIG.

  The monitoring device 30 performs time monitoring for a predetermined time and prompts the monitoring mobile phone 40 to start communication. In response to this, the monitoring mobile phone 40 transmits a call setting signal m1 to the base station 60 through the uplink control channel. At this time, the call setting signal m1 includes a device number for identifying the mobile phone. When the base station 60 receives the call setting signal m1, the base station 60 issues a user authentication request m2 to the monitoring mobile phone 40 through the downlink control channel, and the monitoring mobile phone 40 returns a user authentication response m3 in response thereto. To do.

  In response to this, the base station 60 designates a call channel to be allocated for the call to the monitoring mobile phone 40 that has made the call, using the downlink control channel (m4). The base station 60 and the monitoring mobile phone 40 shift from the control channel to the call channel in response to the designation of the call channel.

Next, the operation of the disturbing device 50 will be described with reference to FIG.
The jamming device 50 constantly monitors the upstream and downstream control channels with the receivers 52 and 53, and when receiving the call setting signal m1 from the monitoring mobile phone 40, determines whether the received signal level is above a certain level. When the level has not been reached, monitoring of the uplink and downlink control channels is continued, and when the level is equal to or greater than a certain value, the device number included in the received call setting signal is stored.

  Thereafter, a signal for designating the communication channel addressed to the stored device number is received from the downlink control channels, and the communication channel information is stored. The stored call channel information is input to the jamming radio wave transmitter 54, and the jamming radio wave transmitter 54 transmits the jamming radio wave to the call channel. At this time, the monitoring mobile phone 40 tries to start communication on the designated call channel, but cannot receive the communication signal due to the jamming radio wave from the jamming radio wave transmitter 54 and cannot shift to the call.

  At this time, the monitoring mobile phone 40 notifies the monitoring device 30 that communication is impossible. When the monitoring device 30 receives a notification indicating that communication is impossible, the monitoring device 30 determines that the interfering device 50 is functioning normally and monitors the mobile phone 40 for monitoring to start communication after monitoring for a certain period of time. repeat.

  On the other hand, when the disturbing device 50 does not function normally due to a failure or the like, the disturbing radio wave m5 is not transmitted, so that the monitoring mobile phone 40 can normally talk. At this time, the monitoring mobile phone 40 notifies the monitoring device 30 that communication is possible.

  When the monitoring device 30 receives a notification that communication is possible, the monitoring device 30 determines that the interfering device 50 is not functioning normally, and causes the LED display unit 34 to turn on or blink the LED 37. Alternatively, the voice guidance unit 35 performs voice guidance from the speaker 36. At this time, the ATM 1 may be notified that the disturbing device 50 is not functioning normally, and the ATM 1 may be notified to that effect.

(Effect of Example 1)
According to the first embodiment, when the communication is attempted by the monitoring mobile phone 40 and communication is possible, the monitoring device 30 detects and displays that the disturbing device 50 is not functioning normally. The administrator can immediately know the failure of the disturbing device 50. As a result, it is possible to take measures such as repairing the obstruction device 50 and posting a warning message at the ATM1 installation location, so that the effect of preventing crimes such as wire fraud can be enhanced.

(Configuration of Example 2)
FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram showing an ATM 1A according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Elements common to those in FIG. 2 showing the first embodiment are denoted by common reference numerals.

  The ATM 1A according to the second embodiment has a configuration different from the configuration of the ATM 1 according to the first embodiment. That is, in ATM1 of FIG. 2, the monitoring device 30 is connected to the communication control unit 19, but in ATM1A of the second embodiment, a monitoring mobile phone 40 is connected instead of the monitoring device 30. The control unit 11A prompts the monitoring mobile phone 40 to start communication and detects that the communication device is capable of detecting whether or not the communication device is capable of detecting the communication device 11Aa. It has display means 11Ab for displaying.

  Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment.

(Operation of Example 2)
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a caution message displayed on the input operation unit 3 in FIG.

  The ATM 1A monitors for a certain period of time and prompts the monitoring mobile phone 40 to start communication. The monitoring cellular phone 40 receives this and performs the same operation as that of the first embodiment together with the base station 60 and the disturbing device 50. The monitoring mobile phone 40 notifies the ATM 1A whether or not communication is possible as a result of the communication attempt.

  When the ATM 1A receives a notification that communication is impossible, the ATM 1A determines that the interfering device 50 is functioning normally, and after monitoring for a certain period of time, repeats the process of prompting the monitoring mobile phone 40 to start communication. .

  When receiving a notification that communication is possible, it is determined that the disturbing device 50 is not functioning normally, and for example, a message shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the input operation unit 3 to prompt the user to pay attention.

(Effect of Example 2)
According to the second embodiment, when the communication is attempted by the monitoring mobile phone 40 and the communication is successful, the ATM 1A detects that the disturbing device 50 is not functioning normally and the input operation screen 3 is concerned with the scam. Since the message and confirmation key are displayed, the effect of preventing crimes such as wire fraud can be enhanced. Further, when the obstructing device 50 is functioning normally, a warning message regarding the transfer fraud is not displayed, so that the transaction time of the transfer transaction is not increased.
