On the other hand, when the operation unit 320 receives an operation on the mobile terminal device 100 within the predetermined time, the stationary state determination unit 303 does not determine that the mobile terminal device 100 is in a stationary state.

  More specifically, when the operation unit 320 receives an operation on the mobile terminal device 100 within the predetermined time, the stationary state determination unit 303 resets the time measured by the timer 39 (0 seconds). ).

  Thereby, when the user is operating the portable terminal device 100, it can prevent that a speaker outputs a warning sound.

  When the determination result of the stationary state determination unit 303 indicates that the mobile terminal device 100 is in a stationary state, the warning control unit 301 indicates that the mobile terminal device 100 has been left behind in the automatic transaction apparatus 110. The speaker 33 is informed. More specifically, the speaker 33 emits a warning sound. The warning sound is set when the mobile terminal device 100 is designed.

  In step S <b> 510, the CPU 20 determines, as the wireless reception state determination unit 305, whether the mobile terminal device 100 has performed short-range wireless communication with the automatic transaction device 110. When CPU 20 determines that short-range wireless communication has been performed (YES in step S510), CPU 20 switches control to step S520. If not (NO in step S510), CPU 20 switches control to step S510.

  In step S520, the CPU 20 waits for a predetermined time. For example, the CPU 20 waits for 1 second.

  In step S530, the CPU 20 determines whether the acceleration of the mobile terminal device 100 detected by the acceleration sensor 41 is greater than a predetermined acceleration as the stationary state determination unit 303. When CPU 20 determines that the acceleration is greater than a predetermined acceleration (YES in step S530), CPU 20 switches control to step S510. If not (NO in step S530), CPU 20 switches control to step S540.

  In step S540, the CPU 20 starts the timer 39 as the timer control unit 313.

  In step S550, the CPU 20 waits for a predetermined time. For example, the CPU 20 waits for 1 second.

  In step S560, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the acceleration of the mobile terminal device 100 detected by the acceleration sensor 41 is greater than a predetermined acceleration, as the stationary state determination unit 303. When CPU 20 determines that the acceleration is greater than a predetermined acceleration (YES in step S560), CPU 20 switches control to step S510. If not (NO in step S560), CPU 20 switches control to step S570.

  In step S570, the CPU 20 determines, as the timer control unit 313, whether a predetermined time has elapsed. When CPU 20 determines that a predetermined time has elapsed (YES in step S570), CPU 20 switches control to step S580. If not (NO in step S570), CPU 20 switches control to step S550.
