  As described above, the registered portable device can be notified of the current status of the person who owns the portable device 100-1 according to the connectable distance of the network.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, an embodiment of the monitoring system for portable devices of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the configuration of the monitoring system for portable devices of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, in addition to the configuration described in FIG. 1, the short-range communication unit connected to the short-range communication network and the connection status are further connected to the portable device 100-2. Short-range communication control that turns the short-range communication unit 13-1 on when it is out of range from 109-2, and turns off the short-range communication unit 13-1 when connected to a specific base station 109-2.

In addition, the cellular communication determination unit 23-1 that determines the status of the specific portable device 100-2 obtained from the cellular communication reception unit and the connection status are specified to the base station 109-2 by the cellular communication determination unit 23-1. When the mobile device 100-2 is determined to be out of service, the cellular communication configuration unit 21-2 is turned off, and when the cellular communication determination unit 23-1 determines that the mobile device 100-2 is connected to the specific mobile device 100-2, the cellular communication You may provide the cellular communication control part 24-1 which turns ON the structure part 21-2.

  The short distance method is, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark) or ZigBee (registered trademark). Bluetooth is one of the short distance systems that can perform communication at a maximum speed of 24 Mbps as long as the distance between devices is within 10 to 100 m. ZigBee is one of the short distance systems that can perform communication at a maximum speed of 250 kbps if the distance between devices is within 30 m. Although the distance between devices is shorter than Bluetooth and the transfer speed is slow, there are advantages of low power consumption and low cost. In addition, a maximum of 255 devices can be connected to one network. For this reason, it is possible to configure a short-distance network that connects the mobile devices 100-2 located at a short distance, and since the power consumption is low, it is possible to always trace the individual mobile devices 100-2. is there.

  The short-range communication unit 13-1 is mounted on the portable device 100-2 and performs short-range wireless communication. Similarly, a short-distance network is configured by connecting to another portable device 100-2 mounted with a short-range communication unit. The short-range communication control unit 14-1 turns the short-range communication unit 13-1 on or off. When it is not necessary to always connect to a short-distance network, it is turned OFF, so that it is possible to prevent information confusion caused by overlapping connection with two networks, the cellular system and the short-range system. The cellular communication determination unit 23-1 is mounted on the base station 109-2, and the mobile device 100-2 is connected to a specific base station 109-2 that adopts the cellular system with respect to the connection status of the specific mobile device 100-2. It is judged whether it is done. The cellular communication control unit 24-1 turns the cellular communication configuration unit 21-2 ON or OFF. That is, the cellular network is disconnected. When it is not necessary to always configure a cellular network, the mobile device 100-2 is turned off, and information confusion caused by overlapping connection between the cellular system, the short distance system, and the two networks is avoided. Can be prevented.

  For example, in the case of the mobile device 100-2 that is out of range from the cellular small base station installed in the school, it can be assumed that the child who is the owner of the mobile device 100-2 is going to and from school. The short-range communication control unit 14-1 turns on the short-range communication unit 13-1, and the cellular communication control unit 24-1 turns off the cellular communication configuration unit 21-2. Conversely, in the case of the portable device 100-2 connected to the cellular small base station installed in the school, it can be assumed that the child who is the owner of the portable device 100-2 is in the school. The short-range communication control unit 14-1 turns off the short-range communication unit 13-1, and the cellular communication control unit 24-1 turns on the cellular communication configuration unit 21-2. These connection states are notified from the cellular base station 109-2 to the registered mobile device. The registered mobile device is, for example, a mobile phone of a guardian of a child who is attending school.

  As described above, switching between the cellular network and the short-range network according to the situation of the mobile device 100-2 prevents information from being confused by overlapping connection to the two networks. be able to. Therefore, according to the connectable distance of the network, the current status of the person who owns the mobile device 100-2 can be notified to the registered mobile device.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, an embodiment of the monitoring system for portable devices of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the configuration of the monitoring system for portable devices of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, in addition to the configuration as described in FIG. 1, a positioning unit 15-1 that transmits information on a position to the specific base station 109-3 to the portable device 100-3 and When the connection status is out of range from the specific base station 109-3, the period for positioning the position is set to be long, and when connected to the specific base station 109-3, the period for positioning the position is set to be short. The cycle control unit 16-1 may be provided. The location information receiving unit 25-1 that receives information on the location of the specific mobile device 100-3 obtained from the cellular communication receiving unit 22-3 at a certain period and the connection status are received by the base station 109-3. When the unit 25-1 determines that the specific mobile device 100-3 is out of service, the period is set to be long, and the position information receiving unit 25-1 determines that the specific mobile device 100-3 is connected. May include a cellular cycle control unit 26-1 that sets the cycle to be short. The positioning unit 15-1 is mounted on the mobile device 100-3 and first measures the current position of the mobile device 100-3. For example, it is a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver. And the information of the position which measured is output to the cellular communication connection part 11-3. The cellular communication connection unit 11-3 transmits the position information to the cellular communication configuration unit 21-3 of the specific base station 109-3. The cycle control unit 16-1 is mounted on the portable device 100-3 and controls the cycle in which the positioning unit 15-1 measures the current position. The position information receiving unit 25-1 is mounted on the base station 109-3, and acquires information on the current position of the mobile device 100-3 transmitted from the mobile device 100-3. And the present position of portable device 100-3 is grasped from the information on the received position. The cellular cycle control unit 26-1 controls the cycle in which the location information receiving unit 25-1 acquires location information.

  Here, by referring to the current position information of the mobile device 100-3 and the connection status of the mobile device 100-3 to the cellular network that has already been transmitted, The situation of the child who is the owner can be inferred. For example, in the case of the mobile device 100-3 that is out of service area from a cellular small base station installed in a school, it can be estimated that the child who is the owner of the mobile device 100-3 is going to and from school. Then, by confirming the current position with the position information, it is possible to guess at which position between the school and the home the child who is the owner of the portable device 100-3. Here, when the current position of the mobile device 100-3 is far from school or home, the cycle control unit 16-1 sets the cycle in which the positioning unit 15-1 measures the position quickly because the safety is low. The cellular cycle control unit 26-1 sets a cycle in which the location information receiving unit 25-1 acquires location information quickly. Conversely, when the current position of the mobile device 100-3 is close to the school or home, the cycle control unit 16-1 sets the cycle in which the positioning unit 15-1 measures the position late because the safety is high. The cellular cycle control unit 26-1 sets a cycle in which the position information receiving unit 25-1 acquires position information late. Although it is possible to trace the portable device 100-3 by making the period of the positioning unit 15-1 and the cellular cycle control unit 26-1 as short as possible, it is not realistic because of the power consumption. These situations are notified from the cellular base station 109-3 to the registered mobile device. The registered mobile device is, for example, a mobile phone of a guardian of a child who is attending school.

  As described above, by controlling the cycle for measuring the position of the mobile device 100-3, it is possible to achieve both the provision of position information in consideration of safety and power saving. Therefore, according to the connectable distance of the network, it is possible to notify the registered portable device of the current situation of the person who owns the portable device 100-3.

  Note that the cycle control unit 16-1 and the cellular cycle control unit 26-1 may notify the registered mobile device that the number of repetitions has exceeded a certain number when the number of repetitions of the cycle exceeds a certain number. . It is possible to immediately know that the child who is the owner of the portable device 100-3 does not arrive at the school or home within a certain time.

The short-range network 103 is configured in a lattice shape by connecting the short-range communication units 13-2 and the short-range communication units mounted on the other portable terminals 110 to each other. The cellular network 104 is configured by connecting the base station 109-4 and the cellular communication connection unit 11-4 of the portable device 100-4 around the core network 108. Further, the mobile device 100-4 may be provided with a GPS receiving unit 15-2, and the GPS receiving unit 15-2 measures the current position by transmitting / receiving information to / from the GPS satellite 102.

  In the present invention, the mobile device 100-4 moves and repeats connection between the short-range network 103 and the cellular network 104 by moving. Depending on whether or not the portable device 100-4 is connected to the cellular network 104, the connection with the short-range network 103 is turned ON or OFF. Therefore, the confusion of information due to the presence of the mobile device 100-4 in both networks can be prevented. In addition, since the GPS receiver 15-2 is provided, the current position of the mobile device 100-4 can be measured, so that the registered mobile device 101 connected to the cellular network 104 can be notified of the position. it can. At this time, the current status of the mobile device 100-4 can be estimated by referring to information on whether or not the mobile device 100-4 is connected to the cellular network 104. For this reason, depending on the current position of the mobile device 100-4, it is possible to efficiently manage power consumption by changing the period at which the GPS receiver 15-2 measures the current position.

For example, in the case of a portable device that is out of range from a cellular small base station installed in a school, it can be assumed that a child who is the owner of the portable device is going to and from school. Then, by confirming the current position with the position information, it is possible to guess at which position between the school and home the child who is the owner of the portable device. Here, in the cycle control step S16-1, since the safety is low when the current position of the mobile device is far from school or home, the cycle for positioning the position is set fast. Conversely, when the current position of the mobile device is close to the school or home, the safety is high, so the period for positioning the position is set late. Although it is possible to trace the mobile device with the shortest period for positioning the position, it is not realistic because of the power consumption. These situations are notified from the cellular base station to the registered mobile device. The registered mobile device is, for example, a mobile phone of a guardian of a child who is attending school.

It is possible to immediately know that a child who is a portable device owner does not arrive at school or home within a certain time.

  Next, an embodiment of the base station control program of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the base station control program of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 23, the base station control program of the present invention connects a portable device that performs cellular communication in the cellular communication configuration step S21-1. Thereby, the mobile device participates in the cellular communication network. In cellular communication reception step S22-1, the connection status of the mobile device is received from the mobile device. In the cellular communication reception step S22-1, the current state of the mobile device can be estimated by acquiring the current state of connection of the mobile device. For example, if it is known that the mobile phone is connected to a small base station located in a school or the like, it can be understood that the child of the portable device owner is in the school. However, if it is not connected to a small base station, it is presumed that the school is going to and from school.

  Next, an embodiment of the base station control program of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the control program of the base station of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 24, in addition to the steps as described in FIG. 23, after the cellular communication reception step S <b> 22-2, the specific mobile phone obtained in the cellular communication reception step in the cellular communication determination step S <b> 23-1 Determine the status of the equipment. In the cellular communication control step S24-1, when the connection status is determined that the specific portable device is out of service in the cellular communication determination step S23-1, the portable device is disconnected in the cellular communication configuration step S21-2. When it is determined in the cellular communication determination step S23-1 that the mobile device is connected to a specific mobile device, the mobile device may be connected in the cellular communication configuration step S21-2. When it is not necessary to configure a cellular network at all times, it is turned off to prevent information from being confused when the mobile device is connected to the cellular network, the short-range method, and two networks. it can.

  For example, in the case of a mobile device that is out of range from a cellular small base station installed in a school, it can be assumed that the child who is the owner of the mobile device is going to and from school, so the cellular communication control step S24 -1 turns off cellular communication. Conversely, in the case of a portable device connected to a small cellular base station installed in a school, it can be assumed that the child who is the owner of the portable device is in the school, so the cellular communication control step S24. -1, cellular communication is turned on. These connection states are notified from the cellular base station to the registered mobile device. The registered mobile device is, for example, a mobile phone of a guardian of a child who is attending school.

  As described above, the base station switches between the cellular network and the short-range network according to the situation of the mobile device, so that the information is confused by overlapping connection to the two networks. Can be prevented. Therefore, according to the connectable distance of the network, it is possible to notify the registered mobile device of the current status of the person who owns the mobile device.

  Next, an embodiment of the base station control program of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the control program of the base station of the present invention.

Information on the position of a specific portable device is received at a certain period. When connection or out-of-service is determined, if the connection status is determined to be out of service for a specific mobile device in the location information reception step S25-1 in the cellular cycle control step S26-1, the cycle may be set longer. Good. Further, when it is determined in the position information receiving step S25-1 that a specific portable device is connected, the cycle may be set short.

  Here, the situation of the child who is the owner of the mobile device is estimated by referring to the information on the current location of the mobile device and the connection status of the already acquired mobile device to the cellular network. can do. For example, in the case of a portable device that is out of range from a cellular small base station installed in a school, it can be assumed that a child who is the owner of the portable device is going to and from school. Then, by confirming the current position with the position information, it is possible to guess at which position between the school and home the child who is the owner of the portable device. Here, since the cellular cycle control step S26-1 is low in safety when the current position of the mobile device is far from school or home, the cycle for acquiring the position information in the position information reception step S25-1 is set quickly. . Conversely, when the current position of the mobile device is close to school or home, the safety is high, and therefore the period for acquiring the position information is set late in the position information receiving step S25-1. Although it is possible to trace the portable device by minimizing the cycle of the position information reception step S25-1, it is not realistic because of the power consumption. These situations are notified from the cellular base station to the registered mobile device. The registered mobile device is, for example, a mobile phone of a guardian of a child who is attending school.

  As described above, by controlling the cycle for positioning the position of the mobile device, it is possible to achieve both the provision of position information in consideration of safety and power saving. Therefore, according to the connectable distance of the network, it is possible to notify the registered mobile device of the current status of the person who owns the mobile device.

  Moreover, in the cellular cycle control step S26-1, when the number of repetitions of the cycle exceeds a certain number, the registered mobile device may be notified that the number of repetitions has exceeded the certain number. It is possible to immediately know that a child who is a portable device owner does not arrive at school or home within a certain time.
