Description

  The present invention relates to a technology for controlling a call using a mobile terminal in a specific space.

  There is a need in public facilities for restrictions on the use of mobile devices in specific spaces, but as a countermeasure on the part of the administrator, it is currently dependent on the user's conscience, such as prompting a warning of prohibition of use. .

As a conventional solution, there is means such as installation of an electromagnetic wave shield. However, the installation of an electromagnetic wave shield completely restricts the use of the mobile terminal in a specific space, making it impossible to make a call to a legitimate user such as an employee.
In addition, when covering a wide area, the cost is enormous.

  Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  First, a method for registering a terminal that always permits a call within the space that is the subject of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The administrator uses the information control program 331 of the management server 300 to register mobile terminal information that can be transmitted. The administrator designates the individual identification number, model, name, telephone number, registration date / time, and expiration date as portable terminal information, and registers the portable terminal information designated by the information control program 331 in the terminal use permission management table 341 of the database 340. (S201, S202).

Next, the operation at the time of a call in the space that is the subject of the present invention will be described.
The portable terminal 100 transmits a call signal to the small base station 200 using the wireless communication unit 170 and the antenna 171.
The small base station 200 receives a call signal by the antenna 201. The received call signal is amplified by the amplifying unit 200, demodulated by the modem unit 230, and the demodulated call signal is transmitted to the management server 300 via the network.
The management server 300 uses the communication control program 332 to control the call.

Details of the operation of the communication control program 332 that performs call control will be described with reference to FIG.
The communication control program 332 acquires the individual identification number of the mobile terminal from the call information transmitted from the small base station 200 (S301).
The database 340 is accessed using the acquired individual identification number as a search key, and mobile terminal information corresponding to the search key is acquired from the terminal use permission management table 341 (S302).
The communication control program 332 checks whether the mobile terminal information exists in the terminal use permission management table 341 (S303).

If the terminal information exists in the terminal usage permission management table 341 (S303 / Yes), it is checked that the expiration date registered in the terminal usage permission management table 341 has not passed the current time (S304).
If the expiration date has not passed the current time (S304 / Yes), it is determined that the call has no time limit, mobile terminal information is recorded in the call history management table 342 (S305), and the decoded call is made. The communication information is transmitted to the external base station, a signal for enabling a call is acquired (S306), and the signal is transmitted to the small base station (S307).
Modulation recovery section 230 modulates the signal and communicates the signal to portable terminal 100.
The mobile terminal 100 receives the signal and confirms that a call from the mobile terminal 100 is possible.

When the above-mentioned expiration date has passed the current time (S304 / No) or when the mobile terminal information does not exist in the terminal use permission management table 341 (S303 / No), the mobile terminal information is stored in the call prohibition management table 343. Is checked (S308).
If the terminal information is present in the call prohibition management table 343, it is in a call prohibition state, so that information on the call failure is transmitted from the small base station 200 to the portable terminal 100 to disable the call (S309).
On the other hand, when terminal information does not exist in the call prohibition management table 343, a restricted call is permitted. Details of the operation of the restricted call will be described later.

Finally, the operation of a restricted call will be described.
The call control program 200 records terminal information indicating that there is a call restriction in the call history management table 342 (S310), and transmits message information indicating that there is a call restriction from the small base station 200 to the portable terminal 100 (S311).
When a response for transmitting message information is returned from the small base station (S313 / Yes), the information is transmitted to the external base station, and a signal for enabling a call is acquired (S314). The signal is transmitted from the small base station 200 to the portable terminal 100 to enable a call (S315).

  At the same time, as shown in FIG. 4, the call monitoring program 333 acquires the terminal information of the restricted call from the call history management table 342 (S401), and checks whether the call time set by the administrator has been exceeded (S401). S402). When the set call time is exceeded (S402 / Yes), the terminal information is recorded in the call prohibition management table 343 (S403), and a signal for forcibly terminating the call even during the call is carried from the small base station 200. It transmits to the terminal 100 (S404).

That is, the call monitoring program 333 checks the call time in the call history management table 342, and for a terminal that has made a call beyond the set time, information on this mobile terminal is registered in the call prohibition table 343, and then the call Forcibly terminate the call midway.
With respect to this mobile terminal call, the call is disabled within a certain period set by the administrator. As a condition for terminating the call in this way, any portable information can be obtained by using the information on the portable terminal and the validity period, the information on the call history management table 342, and the call prohibition management table 343 acquired from the terminal use permission management table 341. Realize terminal transmission control.
Note that existing technology is used as a method for terminating a call without allowing the call.

  According to such a restricted call operation, when mobile terminal information does not exist in the terminal use permission management table 341 (S303 / No), only a call for a certain period of time is permitted, and an unregistered portable terminal for a certain period of time. When a call is made, the mobile terminal is registered in the call prohibition management table 343 in the database, and the call is disabled for a certain time determined by the administrator. Therefore, an unintended long-time call in a specific space Can be prevented.

According to the present embodiment described above, it is possible to easily control transmission of a mobile terminal in a specific space by using a relatively inexpensive device such as a small base station or a server. The reason will be described below.
In the case of a system that controls transmission using an electromagnetic shield or the like, since it is not possible to select whether or not transmission is possible, there is no need to completely block radio waves in public institutions, public facilities, offices, etc. It is not possible to deal with a space where only those who can talk.
Moreover, when it covers a wide space, the cost for installation is required.
On the other hand, small base stations and servers can be prepared relatively inexpensively, and by allowing a caller information to be registered in a database by specifying a valid period, temporary call permission, etc. Can also be supported.
The present invention is particularly effective in a space where it is desired to control an unspecified number of calls, although it does not completely prohibit calls of portable terminals such as public facilities and offices.

  Each of the above-described embodiments is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, processing for realizing the functions of the apparatus may be performed by causing the apparatus to read and execute a program for realizing the functions of the management server 300. Further, the program is transmitted to another computer system by a transmission wave via a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a magneto-optical disk, or via a transmission medium such as the Internet or a telephone line. Also good. In addition, it is also within the scope of the present invention that the functions of each device are realized by other devices collectively or the functions are distributed by additional devices.
