  The target person information 311 stores information about the target person to be registered in the safety confirmation system. Although details will be described later, the telephone number, mail address, location (URL) of the safety confirmation server, safety information, and the like of the subject are stored. The phone book 312 is a phone book possessed by the mobile terminal 104, and the target person information can also use the phone book. The registered information 313 manages the history of whether or not the safety information of the subject has already been registered in the safety confirmation server.

  Next, the flow for shifting to the contact monitoring mode triggered by the notification of the safety confirmation system will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a flow of transition to the contact monitoring mode in the embodiment of the present invention. This contact monitoring program is executed by the personal portable terminal 104, and is activated by a safety information registration notification (S401) from the safety confirmation system to shift the system to the contact monitoring mode (S402).

  After the system shifts to the contact monitoring mode (S402), the system monitors whether or not there is communication from the mobile terminal 105 of the person's family or friend to the mobile terminal 104 of the person.

  The monitoring status is held in the mobile terminal 104. The contact information of the person's family and acquaintance, the safety registrant type for the safety confirmation system, the safety information of the person holding the portable terminal, and the like are managed.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a table for managing the safety information held by the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  A contact 1001 is an item indicating a contact registered in the mobile terminal 104. For example, families A to C and acquaintances A and B are registered. A telephone number 1002 is an item indicating a telephone number corresponding to the contact address. A mail address 1003 is a destination mail address of the e-mail to the contact address. The registration destination 1004 is an item in which the safety registration target person can be discriminated and the URL of the safety confirmation server is stored. If the URL of the safety confirmation server is registered here, it is a safety registration target person, and if not registered, it is not a safety registration target person.

  Safety information 1005 is an item indicating safety information of a safety registration target person. Safety confirmation will be performed when an e-mail is received from a telephone call or contact. As the safety confirmation content, items set in the safety confirmation system such as “safe” and “can go to work” are registered.

  When the safety of the person to be registered is unknown, the safety information is “unknown”. “Unknown” is set immediately after the transition to the contact monitoring mode. “Confirmed” is a status indicating that the safety of the safety registration subject has been confirmed. It may be managed together with information such as “safe” and “can go to office” as described above. “Registered” is a status indicating that the safety of the safety registration subject is registered in the safety confirmation system.

  The contact address 1001, the registered address 1004, and the safety information 1005 may exist in an address book managed by the mobile terminal.

  Next, a flow when an incoming call to the mobile terminal 104 in the contact monitoring mode state will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a flow for managing safety information when a mobile terminal receives an incoming call during the contact monitoring mode in the embodiment of the present invention.

  When an incoming call is received at the portable terminal 104 (S501), it is determined whether the communication monitoring mode is set (S502). Incoming calls include both incoming calls by telephone and incoming calls by e-mail. If it is not in the contact monitoring mode, the process ends without performing anything as a normal incoming call.

  Next, it is determined whether the incoming call is an incoming call or a mail (S503). If the incoming call is an incoming call, it is determined whether the incoming call is a public line (S509). If the call is received through the public line, a call partner confirmation process (S510) is executed. Details of the call partner confirmation process will be described later.

  If it is not an incoming call through the public line, it is searched and judged whether the incoming call is from the other party registered in the telephone number 1002 (S504). If it is not the other party registered in the telephone number 1002, the process ends without performing anything outside the safety registration target person.

  If it is the other party registered in the telephone number 1002, it is searched and determined whether the connection destination is registered in the registration destination 1004 (S506).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether the incoming call is an incoming call or an incoming mail (S503), when an incoming mail is received, a search is made to determine whether an email address is registered in the email address 1003 (S505). If it is not the other party registered in the mail address 1003, the process ends without performing anything outside the safety registration target person. If the other party is registered in the mail address 1003, a search is made to determine whether the connection destination is registered in the registration destination 1004 (S506).

  When it is determined that the registration destination is registered at step S506 when it is received by telephone or mail (S506), if the registration destination is not registered, the process is terminated without taking the person out of the safety registration target. .

On the other hand, as a result of searching and determining whether or not the connection destination is registered in (S506), the safety information 1005 of the safety registration target person indicates that the safety of the safety registration target person has been confirmed if it is a registered partner. The status is changed to “confirmed” (S507). Subsequently, safety information notification processing is executed (S508). Details of the safety information notification process will be described later.

  Next, a flow for notifying safety information from the mobile terminal 104 to the safety confirmation server 101 will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a flow of notifying safety information to the safety confirmation system in the embodiment of the present invention.

  Information to be notified to the safety confirmation system when the safety notification is determined is created (S601). Specifically, the information notified to the safety confirmation system includes the confirmed family name, the name of an acquaintance, the time when an incoming call is received from the mobile terminal 105, and the like. It is created from the clock in the portable terminal, the contact 1001 registered in the portable terminal 104, or the like.

  The information basically notified is the content stored in the table for managing the safety information shown in FIG. The notification timing can be freely set such as a time (on-time) determined in advance by the safety confirmation system or a real time when an incoming call is received.

  After creating the information to be notified to the safety confirmation system, the mobile terminal 104 connects to the connection destination “anpi.co.jp” described in the registration destination 1004 through the base station 103 and notifies the safety confirmation system of the safety information. (S602), safety information update processing is executed (S603). The process ends.

  The notification procedure at this time follows the format agreed with the safety confirmation system such as electronic mail or HTML.

  Next, a flow for setting the safety information managed by the portable terminal 104 to the safety confirmation system in a notification completion state will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a flow of updating the safety information on the terminal side after the notification of the safety information at the mobile terminal in the embodiment of the present invention.

  After notifying the safety confirmation system of the safety information, it is determined that the notification procedure with the safety confirmation system connected to the base station 103 is completed and the notification is correctly performed (S701).

  If a line disconnection or a malfunction notification from the safety confirmation system occurs during the notification procedure and the notification is not performed correctly, the safety information managed by the mobile terminal 104 is not updated. When it is determined that the safety confirmation system has been correctly notified (S701), the status of the safety information 1005 is updated to “registered” (S702), and the contact monitoring mode update process is executed (S703).

  Next, a flow for updating the contact monitoring mode state in the portable terminal 104 will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a flow for shifting to the normal mode after notifying all the safety registrants to the safety confirmation system in the embodiment of the present invention.

  It is confirmed whether or not the safety information 1005 is in a registered status with respect to a family or an acquaintance in which the registration destination 1004 for the safety confirmation system is set (S801). If all the statuses are not registered, the processing is terminated without performing anything in order to continue the contact monitoring mode.

  If all are in the registered status, the mode shifts from the contact monitoring mode to the normal mode (S802).

  Next, a flow when a call is made from the mobile terminal 104 during the contact monitoring mode and a contact is made is shown. In FIG. 5, the safety information is registered when communication is confirmed by an incoming call. However, in the present embodiment, it corresponds to the processing when a call is made from the owner of the portable terminal 104.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a flow for managing safety information when a contact is made from the portable terminal by telephone during the contact monitoring mode in the embodiment of the present invention.

  When a call is made from the portable terminal 104 to another terminal and contact is made (S901), it is determined whether or not the contact monitoring mode is in effect (S902). The case where contact is made may indicate a state where the line is connected, or may be a case where the line is connected for a predetermined time. It is also possible to detect the exchange of words and have a conversation actually occur. If it is not in the contact monitoring mode, nothing is done and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is in the contact monitoring mode, it is determined whether the other party who has made a call and is in contact is registered in the telephone number 1002 (S903). If the other party is not registered in the telephone number 1002, nothing is done and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is the other party registered in the telephone number 1002, it is confirmed whether the registration destination 1004 is registered (S904). If the registration destination 1004 is not registered, nothing is done and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the registered destination 1004 is a registered partner, the status of the safety information 1005 is changed to “confirmed” (S905), and safety information notification processing is executed (S906). Thereafter, the same processing as that for the incoming call to the portable terminal (104) from FIG. 6 is performed.

  In these embodiments of the present invention, when a contact is made with a family member or friend registered as a contact address, the safety confirmation system can be registered at that time. However, when a large-scale disaster occurs, it can be assumed that the cellular phone or the Internet line is punctured.

  In that case, it may be possible to contact family members and friends via a general subscriber telephone line or public telephone line, and even if contact is made with a family member or acquaintance who is registered in the safety confirmation system, the safety confirmation system is in place at that time. You cannot register for. Therefore, an embodiment corresponding to this problem will be described.

  When the portable terminal 104 is contacted from a terminal used by an unspecified number of people such as a public line, a means for selecting a target person for safety management such as a family member or an acquaintance is handled.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a flow for selecting a call partner when receiving a call from a public line in the embodiment of the present invention.

  This process corresponds to the call partner confirmation process in FIG. 5 (S510) and is executed after receiving an incoming call from a public line. Here, the incoming call from the public line means an incoming call from a public telephone or a general line.

  When receiving a call from a public line, the caller cannot be identified from the telephone number of the other party. Therefore, out of the table information for managing the safety information held by the mobile terminal shown in FIG. 10, the contacts 1001 in which the registration destination 1004 is registered are listed (S1101) and displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 104. An example is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 12 is a screen displayed on the mobile terminal 104 when a contact is received from a public line or the like according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  Reference numeral 1201 denotes a screen for selecting whether the call partner is a target person for safety management such as a family member or an acquaintance when the call is finished. The screen 1201 is displayed in a state where the contact 1001 registered in advance in the portable terminal 104 can be selected.

  Reference numeral 1202 denotes a cursor for selecting the displayed contact information. The cursor 1202 is moved by a key on the mobile terminal. 1203 is an item for selecting a party other than the safety registrant as a partner who has been contacted from a terminal used by an unspecified number of people such as a public line. For example, when the other party who has received a call from the public line is family B, if family B is selected with cursor 1202 from displayed screen 1201, safety information 1005 of family B of contact 1001 is updated to “confirmed”. It has become so.

  Returning to the flow of FIG. The operator operates the portable terminal 104 to display the list of contacts in a selectable reception state (S1102). It is determined whether or not the registration destination 1004 is registered in the selected contact (S1103). Here, if only the contacts having the registered address 1004 are displayed, the determination process in S1103 is not necessary.

  If the selected contact is an item indicating the person to be registered for safety and the item indicating the means for connecting to the safety confirmation system is not registered, the process is terminated without performing anything.

  If the URL of the registration destination is registered in the selected contact address, the safety information 1005 is set to confirmed (S1104). Next, the safety information notification process (S1105) shown in FIG. 6 is executed and the process ends.
