  In the mobile communication system according to the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 10 is located in an approach area including a position (approach position) where the current position measured by the positioning process has approached a specific partner terminal registered in advance in the past. When it is determined that the incoming call is received from the specific destination terminal, the secret mode is switched to non-notification.

<Configuration of mobile terminal>
Next, the configuration of the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment will be described in detail. The mobile terminal 10 has hardware including a GPS receiver, Bluetooth (registered trademark) and other short-range communication devices, a communication interface with the radio base station 30, a processor, a memory, a display, and an input key. Stores software modules to be executed by the processor. The functional configuration of the mobile terminal 10 to be described later may be realized by the hardware described above, may be realized by a software module executed by a processor, or may be realized by a combination of both.

  FIG. 2 is a functional configuration diagram of the mobile terminal according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 10 includes a location information acquisition unit 11, a location history database (DB) 12, a location information determination unit 13, a near field communication unit 14, a near field communication device information database (DB) 15, an approach The determination unit 16, the approach position specifying unit 17, and the secret mode management unit 18 are provided.

  The position information acquisition unit 11 acquires position information indicating the current position of the mobile terminal 10. Specifically, the location information acquisition unit 11 receives a GPS signal from the GPS satellite 20 at a predetermined time interval (for example, every 5 minutes), and indicates the current location of the mobile terminal 10 based on the received GPS signal. Calculate location information. Further, the position information acquisition unit 11 stores the calculated position information in a position history table 121 of a position information history DB described later. The position information is, for example, latitude and longitude, and the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is specified by the latitude and longitude.

  The position history DB 12 includes a position history table 121 and an approach position table 122.

  The position history table 121 stores a history of position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 11. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a position history table according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the position history table 121 stores the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 11 and the acquisition date and time of the position information in association with each other. The location history table 121 stores the latest 25 location information, and is configured to delete the oldest location information when new location information acquired by the location information acquisition unit 11 is stored. May be.

  The approach position table 122 (approach position storage unit) stores an approach position that is a position approached in the past with a specific destination terminal registered in advance. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an approach position table according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the approach position table 122 stores the approach position specified by the approach position specifying unit 17 described later.

  The position information determination unit 13 (determination unit) determines whether or not the current position of the mobile terminal 10 indicated by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 11 is within the approach area. Here, the approach area is an area including an approach position approached in the past with a specific partner terminal, for example, an area within a predetermined range (for example, within 10 meters) from the approach position stored by the approach position table 122. It is.

  Specifically, the position information determination unit 13 calculates a distance between the current position indicated by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 11 and the approach position stored in the approach position table 122, and the distance is calculated. It is determined whether or not it is a predetermined threshold value (for example, 30 meters) or less. The position information determination unit 13 determines that the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is within the approach area when the distance between the current position and the approach position is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold. On the other hand, when the distance between the current position and the approach position is greater than a predetermined threshold, the position information determination unit 13 determines that the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is not within the approach area.

  The near field communication unit 14 performs near field communication with a near field communication device within a near field communication range (for example, within 10 meters) using a near field communication function such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). Specifically, the near field communication unit 14 determines that the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is not within a predetermined range from the approach position stored by the approach position table 122 by the position information determination unit 13. A search signal for searching for a short-range communication device within the range is transmitted, and a response signal is received from the short-range communication device that has received the search signal. The response signal includes short-range communication device information that identifies the short-range communication device that has transmitted the response signal.

  The short-range communication device information DB 15 (short-range communication device information storage unit) stores short-range communication device information for identifying a short-range communication device mounted on a specific partner terminal. The near field communication device information includes, for example, a near field communication address such as a Bluetooth address and a link key (authentication code) such as a PIN code, and identifies a paired (authenticated) near field communication device.

  The approach determination unit 16 determines whether or not a specific destination terminal is approaching the mobile terminal 10. Specifically, the proximity determination unit 16 receives a response signal including the short-range communication device information stored in the short-range communication device information DB 15 within a predetermined time after the search signal is transmitted by the short-range communication unit 14. When received by the distance communication unit 14, it is determined that a specific counterpart terminal is approaching the mobile terminal 10. On the other hand, the approach determination unit 16 receives the response signal when the response signal is not received by the short-range communication unit 14 within the predetermined time or when the response signal is received by the short-range communication unit 14 within the predetermined time. When the short-range communication device information stored in the short-range communication device information DB 15 is not included in the signal, it is determined that a specific partner terminal is not approaching the mobile terminal 10.

  When the approach determining unit 16 determines that the specific destination terminal is approaching the mobile terminal 10, the approach position specifying unit 17 indicates the position indicated by the position information most recently acquired by the position information acquiring unit 11. Specified as the approach position. The approach position specifying unit 17 stores the specified approach position in the approach position table 122.

  The secret mode management unit 18 (control unit) controls switching to the secret mode. Specifically, the secret mode management unit 18 switches to the secret mode when the position information determination unit 13 determines that the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is within the approach area. Moreover, the secret mode management part 18 switches to secret mode, when it determines with the specific other party terminal approaching the mobile terminal 10 by the approach determination part 16. FIG. On the other hand, the secret mode management unit 18 cancels the secret mode when the approach determination unit 16 determines that a specific counterpart terminal is not approaching the mobile terminal 10.

  Moreover, the secret mode management part 18 does not alert | report the incoming call from the specific other party terminal registered beforehand, when it switches to a secret mode. Specifically, in the secret mode, when there is an incoming call, e-mail, or the like from a specific destination terminal in the secret mode, the secret mode management unit 18 notifies information (for example, a call or e-mail). Incoming mark, etc.) and / or registration information (for example, the user name of the partner terminal) about the specific partner terminal may not be displayed on the display unit (not shown). In addition, in the secret mode, the secret mode management unit 18 may not perform the ringing operation for notifying the incoming call when there is an incoming call such as a call or an e-mail from a specific destination terminal. In addition, the secret mode management unit 18 may prevent the display unit (not shown) from displaying information on a specific destination terminal in the address book and a call history with the specific destination terminal in the secret mode. Good. Further, in the secret mode, the secret mode management unit 18 displays e-mail transmission / reception history, unsent e-mail history, sent / received e-mail itself, unsent e-mail itself, and the like in the specific destination terminal. You may make it not display on a part (not shown).

  On the other hand, when the secret mode management unit 18 cancels the secret mode and receives a call or e-mail from a specific destination terminal, the secret mode management unit 18 notifies the incoming information or the specific partner. Registration information about the destination terminal is displayed on a display unit (not shown). Similarly, in such a case, the secret mode management unit 18 may perform a ringing operation to notify an incoming call from a specific partner terminal, information on a specific partner terminal in the address book, or the specific partner A call history with a destination terminal may be displayed on a display unit (not shown).

<Operation of mobile terminal>
Next, the operation of the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal according to the first embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the mobile terminal in the first embodiment.

  Note that the flowchart in FIG. 5 is repeated at a time interval (for example, every 5 minutes) at which the location information acquisition unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 acquires location information based on the GPS signal. Further, it is assumed that the secret mode for the mobile terminal 10 is canceled at the start of the flowchart of FIG. Further, both the mobile terminal 10 and the specific destination terminal have a short-range communication function, and the near-field communication device information DB 15 of the mobile terminal 10 has a paired (authenticated) near-end for the specific destination terminal. It is assumed that distance communication device information is registered.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the position information acquisition unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 receives a GPS signal from the GPS satellite 20 and acquires position information indicating the current position of the mobile terminal 10 based on the received GPS signal ( Step S101).

  The position information determination unit 13 determines whether or not the current position of the mobile terminal 10 indicated by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 11 is within the approach area (step S102). Specifically, as described above, the position information determination unit 13 calculates the distance between the current position indicated by the position information acquired in step S101 and the approach position stored in the approach position table 122, and It is determined whether or not the distance is a predetermined threshold value (for example, 30 meters) or less. The position information determination unit 13 determines that the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is within the approach area when the distance between the current position and the approach position is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold.

  When the position information determination unit 13 determines that the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is not within the access area (step S102; No), the access determination unit 16 determines that the specific destination terminal registered in advance is the mobile terminal 10. It is determined whether or not the vehicle is approaching (step S103). Specifically, the short-range communication unit 14 transmits a search signal for searching for a short-range communication device within the short-range communication range (for example, within 10 meters). When the response signal including the short-range communication device information stored in the short-range communication device information DB 15 is received by the short-range communication unit 14 within a predetermined time from the transmission of the search signal, the proximity determination unit 16 10, it is determined that a specific destination terminal is approaching.

  If it is determined by the approach determination unit 16 that the specific destination terminal has not approached within the predetermined range from the own terminal (step S103; No), it is not necessary to set the mobile terminal 10 in the secret mode. Ends (step S104).

  On the other hand, when it is determined by the approach determination unit 16 that a specific counterpart terminal is approaching the mobile terminal 10 (step S103; Yes), the secret mode management unit 18 switches the terminal to the secret mode (step S105). ). The approach position specifying unit 17 specifies the current position indicated by the position information acquired in step S101 as the approach position, and stores the specified approach position in the approach position table 122 (step S106).

  For example, in the case illustrated in FIG. 6A, the short-range communication unit 14 of the mobile terminal 10 receives the near-field communication device information DB 15 stored in the short-range communication device information DB 15 from the short-range communication device of the specific destination terminal that has received the search signal. A response signal including distance communication device information is received. For this reason, the approach determination unit 16 determines that a specific partner terminal is approaching, and the secret mode management unit 18 switches the own terminal to the secret mode. Further, the approach position specifying unit 17 specifies the current position indicated by the position information acquired in step S <b> 101 as the approach position L, and stores the specified approach position L in the approach position table 122.

  When the position information determination unit 13 determines that the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is within the proximity area (step S102; Yes), the secret mode management unit 18 sets the terminal to the secret mode (step S107). For example, in the case shown in FIG. 6B, the current position of the mobile terminal 10 indicated by the position information acquired in step S101 is within the approach area A within a predetermined range from the approach position L stored in the approach position table 122. Therefore, the secret mode management unit 18 sets the own terminal to the secret mode.

<Action and effect>
According to the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment, the position information determination unit 13 determines that the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is within an approach area within a predetermined range from the approach position stored in the approach position table 122. If this happens, the secret mode is automatically set. For this reason, without the user of the mobile terminal 10 forgetting to set the secret mode, an incoming call from a specific destination terminal can be appropriately not notified, and user convenience can be improved.

  In addition, according to the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment, every time the approach determination unit 16 determines that a specific destination terminal registered in advance is approaching the mobile terminal 10, The current position is stored in the approach position table 122 as the approach position with the specific partner terminal. As the approach position in the approach position table 122 accumulates, the approach area that is likely to approach a specific destination terminal gradually expands, so that the mobile terminal 10 can set the secret mode with higher accuracy.

  Furthermore, according to the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment, the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is not within an approach area within a predetermined range from the approach position stored in the approach position table 122 by the position information determination unit 13. Only when it is determined, it is determined whether or not a specific destination terminal is approaching within a predetermined range of the mobile terminal 10 using short-range communication. Therefore, each time the position information acquisition unit 11 acquires position information based on the GPS signal, the power consumption of the mobile terminal 10 is compared with a case where the approach determination of a specific destination terminal using short-range communication is performed. Can be prevented from increasing.

[Modification]
Next, a modification of the mobile communication system according to the first embodiment will be described. In the mobile communication system according to the modified example, the secret mode management unit 18 of the mobile terminal 10 is in the cell where the mobile terminal 10 is located, depending on the number of times of approaching the specific destination terminal in the past (number of approaches), This is different from the first embodiment in that the mode of non-notification of incoming calls from a specific destination terminal in the secret mode is changed.

  FIG. 7 is a functional configuration diagram of a mobile terminal according to a modification. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the mobile terminal 10 according to the modification further includes a cell information acquisition unit 19. The cell information acquisition unit 19 receives a control signal from the radio base station 30, and acquires cell information indicating a cell in which the mobile terminal 10 is located based on the received control signal.

  Further, the location history DB 12 of the mobile terminal 10 according to the modification further includes an approach frequency table 123. FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating an example of the approach position table according to the modification. FIG. 8B is a diagram showing an example of the approach number table according to the modification.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the approach position table 122 associates and stores the cell in which the mobile terminal 10 is located at the approach position in addition to the above approach position. Here, the cell where the mobile terminal 10 is located is identified by the cell information acquired by the cell information acquisition unit 19.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, the approach count table 123 stores the cell in which the mobile terminal 10 is located and the number of approaches in the cell that have approached the specific partner terminal in the past in association with each other. Here, as the number of times of approach, the number of approach positions stored in association with the same cell in the approach position table 122 shown in FIG. 8A can be used.

  For example, in the approach position table 122 shown in FIG. 8A, the approach positions “latitude 35 degrees 40 minutes 52.975, longitude 139 degrees 45 minutes 57.902” and “latitude 35 degrees 40 minutes 50.975, longitude 139 degrees” The cell in which the mobile terminal 10 is located at “45 minutes 55.902” is both “cell 1”. Therefore, the approach count table 123 shown in FIG. 8B stores “2 times” as the number of approaches in “cell 1”. Similarly, the approach count table 123 stores “1 time” as the approach count in “cell 2”.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal according to the modification. Note that steps S201 to S205 in FIG. 9 are the same as steps S101 to S105 in FIG.

  In step S206 of FIG. 9, the approach position specifying unit 17 specifies the current position indicated by the position information acquired in step S201 as the approach position. Further, the approach position specifying unit 17 specifies the cell where the mobile terminal 10 is located in the approach position based on the cell information acquired most recently by the cell information acquiring unit 19. The approach position specifying unit 17 associates the specified approach position with the cell and stores them in the approach position table 122 (step S206).

  The approach position specifying unit 17 refers to the approach position table 122 updated in step S206, and updates the approach number table 123 that stores the number of approaches with a specific destination terminal in the cell where the mobile terminal 10 is located ( Step S207).

  When the position information determination unit 13 determines that the current position of the mobile terminal 10 is within the approach area (step S202; Yes), the secret mode management unit 18 refers to the approach count table 123, and the mobile terminal 10 It is determined whether or not the number of times of approach in the cell that is located is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (step S208). Specifically, the secret mode management unit 18 has an access count stored in association with the cell indicated by the cell information most recently acquired by the cell information acquisition unit 19 in the access count table 123 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. It is determined whether or not.

  When the number of approaches is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (step S208; Yes), the secret mode management unit 18 switches to the complete secret mode in which the incoming call from a specific partner terminal is completely not notified (step S209).

  In the complete secret mode, when there is an incoming call, e-mail, or the like from a specific destination terminal, the secret mode management unit 18 notifies information (for example, a call or e-mail incoming mark) that notifies the incoming call, The display operation of the registration information (for example, the user name of the partner terminal) of the specific partner terminal and the ringing operation for notifying the incoming call are not performed.

  On the other hand, when the number of approaches is less than the predetermined number (step S208; No), the secret mode management unit 18 switches to the individual secret mode that partially notifies the incoming call from a specific partner terminal (step S210).

  In the individual secret mode, when there is an incoming call or e-mail from a specific destination terminal, the secret mode management unit 18 provides notification information (for example, a call or e-mail incoming mark) for notifying the incoming call. A terminal that is displayed on a display unit (not shown), hides registration information (for example, the user name of the partner terminal) of the specific partner terminal, and has not registered the specific partner terminal in the address book May be treated as

  Further, in the individual secret mode, the secret mode management unit 18 does not apply the secret mode to all of the specific destination terminals registered in advance, but the mobile terminal 10 among the specific destination terminals. The secret mode may be applied only to a partner terminal approaching in the approach area where the current position is located.

  Moreover, in the individual secret mode, the secret mode management unit 18 may be configured to hide only information preset by the user.

  According to the mobile communication system according to the modified example, the incoming call from a specific destination terminal is not notified according to the number of times of approach that has previously approached the specific destination terminal in the cell where the mobile terminal 10 is located. Since the aspect can be changed, the convenience of the user of the mobile terminal 10 can be further improved.
