  The affiliation is affiliation information belonging to the management information obtained by the peer-to-peer communication from the other portable terminals existing in the communication area 110, and the affiliation belongs to the owner of the portable terminal existing in the communication area 110. It is affiliation information that identifies the group to be performed. In the entry of the affiliation field 223, for example, affiliation information specifying the affiliation of the owners of the other mobile terminals 102, 103, and 104 existing in the communication area 110 for each group is stored. At this time, when the 27th to 30th characters in the SS-ID format composed of 32 characters are assigned to the affiliation information of the owner, the affiliation information is converted into a code using the affiliation discrimination conversion table. The converted code is stored in the entry of the affiliation field 223.

  The connection time is information related to the connection time between the mobile terminal 101 and another mobile terminal, and is the time managed by the time management unit 215. The entry in the connection time field 224 includes, for example, the connection time between the mobile terminal 101 and the other mobile terminals 102, 103, and 104 existing in the communication area 110 and the time managed by the time management unit 215.

Furthermore, when the owners of the other mobile terminals 102, 103, and 104 existing in the communication area 110 are owners registered in a specific profile, profile information that specifies the owner registered in the specific profile Is stored in the entry of the affiliation field 241. For example, when the owner registered in a specific profile is a general manager, “director” is stored in the entry of the affiliation field 241.

  The storage code is a code for converting the affiliation information into a 4-character code. The entry of the storage code field 242 stores information obtained by encoding the affiliation information into 4 characters. For example, when the affiliation is a general manager of the AA company, “HITB” is stored in the entry of the storage code field 242.

  Next, processing of the portable terminal will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, in the mobile terminal 101, the control unit 208 determines whether or not the operation mode when the mobile terminal 101 receives an incoming call is the normal mode (S0). If the control unit 208 obtains a negative determination result in step S0, it is in a standby state and repeats the process of step S0.

  When a positive determination result is obtained in step S0, that is, when the operation mode is set to the normal mode, the control unit 208 specifies at least another mobile terminal in the reception information received by the transmission / reception unit. Change of the set operation mode based on the received management information on the condition that there is management information including authentication information to be received and operation mode information for specifying an operation mode at the time of reception of another mobile terminal The process for changing the set operation mode from the normal mode to the manner mode is executed on the condition that a positive determination result is obtained in the determination.

  First, as a process when the set operation mode is the normal mode, the control unit 208 executes a process for searching around the mobile terminal 101 at regular intervals, that is, at regular time intervals. (S1).

  At this time, the control unit 208 searches for other mobile terminals in the communication area 110 at a cycle set in advance by the time management unit 215, and in the reception information received by the transmission / reception unit, When there is management information including authentication information (SS-ID), operation mode information, or affiliation information, this management information is registered in the connection management table 220.

  During this time, the time management unit 215 manages the connection time between the mobile terminal 101 and the radio base station based on the reception information received by the transmission / reception unit, registers the management result in the connection management table 220, and the traffic measurement unit 217 The communication time (communication time per unit time) between the mobile terminal 101 and the radio base station is measured based on the reception information received by the reception unit, and the measurement result is registered in the connection management table 220.

  Next, based on the connection time registered in the connection management table 220, the control unit 208 determines whether or not there are more than a set number of mobile terminals in the communication area 110 for the set time (S2). .

  When a negative determination result is obtained in step S2, the control unit 208 returns to the process of step S0, repeats the processes of steps S0 to S2, and when a positive determination result is obtained in step S2, the transmission / reception unit Of the received information received, the received information is received from the mobile terminals 102, 103, 104. Based on the management information including the authentication information (SS-ID) and the operation mode information, each mobile terminal 102, 103, 104 The incoming mode is determined (S3).

  At this time, the control unit 208 determines whether or not the specific mode is equal to or greater than the first threshold based on the management information including the authentication information (SS-ID) and the operation mode information (S4). For example, the control unit 208 determines whether or not the normal mode is greater than or equal to the first threshold as the specific mode based on the management information including the authentication information (SS-ID) and the operation mode information, or As a specific mode, it is determined whether or not the manner mode exists at or above the first threshold value.

  If a negative determination result is obtained in step S4, the control unit 208 returns to step S0 and repeats the processes of steps S0 to S4. If the positive determination result is obtained in step S4, the control unit 208 returns to another mobile phone. It is determined whether or not the terminal affiliation ratio is greater than or equal to the second threshold (S5). That is, when there is management information including affiliation information in which the affiliation of another mobile terminal is specified for each group in the received information, the control unit 208 uses the other mobile terminal based on the management information including the affiliation information. It is determined whether or not a specific group, for example, an owner belonging to the same group as the group to which the owner of the mobile terminal 101 belongs is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

  If the determination result is affirmative in step S5, the control unit 208 proceeds to the process of step S6 in FIG. 8. If the determination result is negative in step S5, the control unit 208 proceeds to step S11 in FIG. Transition to processing.

  When the group to which the owner of the mobile terminal 101 belongs and the group to which the owner of another mobile terminal belongs are the same group, in step S6, the control unit 208 determines that the owner belonging to the same group is, for example, In order to confirm whether or not it is a meeting, the communication amount of the other mobile terminals 102, 103, 104 is acquired from the communication amount measuring unit 217 or the connection management table 220 and confirmed (S6). Based on the traffic volume of the terminals 102, 103, and 104, it is determined whether the traffic volume per unit time of the other mobile terminals 102, 103, and 104 is equal to or less than the third threshold (S7).

  If an affirmative determination result is obtained in step S7, the amount of communication of the other mobile terminal is small, so that the owner of the other mobile terminal can be considered to be in a meeting, for example. For this reason, the control unit 208 determines whether or not the operation mode when the other mobile terminals 102, 103, and 104 are receiving is the manner mode (S8).

  If the control unit 208 obtains a positive determination result in step S8, the operation mode when the other mobile terminals 102, 103, and 104 receive is the manner mode, and thus the other mobile terminals 102, 103, and 104 In order to match the operation mode, the operation mode of the mobile terminal 101 is changed from the normal mode to the manner mode (S9), and the processing in this routine is terminated.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination result is obtained in step S7, that is, if the communication volume of the other mobile terminal is large and packet communication is being performed, the owner of the other mobile terminal assumes that it is not in a meeting. Can be tricked. For this reason, the control unit 208 leaves the operation mode of the mobile terminal 101 as it is, does not change the operation mode (S10), and ends the processing in this routine.

  If a negative determination result is obtained in step S8, the operation mode of the other mobile terminals 102, 103, 104 is set to the normal mode. In order to match, the control unit 208 does not change the operation mode of the self-portable terminal 101 (S10), and ends the processing in this routine.

  If a negative determination result is obtained in step S5, the owner of the other mobile terminals 102, 103, 104 is not an owner belonging to the same group as the owner of the mobile terminal 101. Then, it is determined whether or not the operation mode of the other mobile terminals 102, 103, 104 is the manner mode (S11).

  When a positive determination result is obtained in step S11, the control unit 208 sets the operation mode of the own mobile terminal 101 from the normal mode to the manner mode in order to match the operation mode of the other mobile terminals 102, 103, and 104. Change is made (S12), and the processing in this routine is terminated.

  In addition, when a negative determination result is obtained in step S11, since the incoming mode of the other mobile terminal is the normal mode, in order to match the operation mode of the other mobile terminal 102, 103, 104, the control unit 208 The operation mode of the portable terminal 101 is not changed (S13), and the processing in this routine is terminated.

  The process in steps S11 to S12 is a process for adjusting to the operation mode of the mobile terminal of the owner whose affiliation is different from the owner of the mobile terminal 101. For example, a meeting outside the company, a movie theater, a train, etc. It can be adapted for processing in public places.

  Next, a description will be given of a canceling method for canceling the operation mode whose setting has been changed after the operation mode when the mobile terminal 101 is received is changed from the normal mode to the manner mode.

  When the operation mode of the mobile terminal 101 is automatically changed from the normal mode to the manner mode, the timer built in the time management unit 215 is started, and on the condition that a certain time has elapsed after the timer is started, A method of returning the operation mode to the original operation mode, that is, the normal mode can be used. In this case, by setting the time in advance in the timer, the operation mode can be returned to the original operation mode after the set time.

  As another release method, a mobile terminal registered as another mobile terminal existing in the communication area 101 of the mobile terminal 101 is less than the set number during the set time set in advance in the time management unit 215. There is a method of returning the operation mode automatically changed to the original operation mode, that is, the normal mode. Further, when the communication amount of the mobile terminal registered in the connection management table 220 is equal to or greater than the third threshold, there is a method for returning the operation mode that has been automatically changed to the original operation mode, that is, the normal mode. is there.

  According to the present embodiment, the operation mode of the mobile terminal 101 can be automatically changed according to the setting status of the operation modes of the surrounding mobile terminals 102, 103, and 104. Thereby, it is not necessary to install a dedicated wireless transmission device, and the operation mode of the mobile terminal 101 can be changed without considering the difference between a small indoor conference room and a floor. For this reason, even in a company meeting room or a temporary business meeting, the owner of the mobile terminal 101 can change the operation mode of the mobile terminal 101 to the surrounding mobile terminals 102 without worrying about the setting state of the operation mode. , 103, 104 can be automatically changed according to the setting status of the operation mode.

<Second embodiment>
In this embodiment, when there is an owner registered in a specific profile in the vicinity, the operation mode of the own mobile terminal is automatically set according to the setting state of the operation mode of the owner's mobile terminal registered in the specific profile. The other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, processing different from the first embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the mobile terminal in the present embodiment. 10, in this embodiment, the processes in steps S0 to S5 among the processes shown in FIG. 7 are performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and a positive determination result is obtained in step S5 in FIG. The control unit 208 determines whether or not there is a person registered in a specific profile in the vicinity based on the management information including the affiliation information in the received information (S14). That is, in step S14, it is determined whether the owner belongs to the same group as the owner of the mobile terminal 101 and is the owner of a specific profile, for example, the boss of the same company.
