Is received from the wearable terminal 2. The short-range wireless communication unit 14 transmits information indicating that the incoming call is approved to the incoming call notification control unit 16. Note that the incoming call notification control unit 16 notifies the mobile communication unit 11 of an incoming call response when it receives information to approve the incoming call.

  The incoming call notification control unit 16 determines whether the wearable terminal 2 to be received is located around the terminal itself and is communicable with the wearable terminal 2 after the determination unit 12 determines that the incoming wearable terminal 2 is in communication with the wearable terminal 2. A connection is established by short-range wireless communication, and an incoming call process related to broadcast information is performed. The connection is established by short-range wireless communication with the wearable terminal 2 by instructing the short-range wireless communication unit 14 to establish the connection. For example, a connection is established with the wearable terminal 2 that has responded to the distribution of distribution information by the short-range wireless communication unit 14 (the wearable terminal 2 having a USIM having subscriber information included in the distribution information). . The incoming call notification control unit 16 is a part that receives an incoming call notification received by the mobile communication unit 11 from the mobile communication unit 11 and controls incoming call notification processing based on the incoming call notification.

When notifying the caller number, the incoming call notification control unit 16 displays the subscriber information of the communication terminal that requested the call, which is included in the incoming call notification, on the display unit 18. The specific operation by the wearable terminal 2 and the mobile communication network will be described below.

(Incoming call method 1)
Subsequently, the incoming call method according to the method 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a system outline diagram showing a plurality of communication terminals. The communication terminal 3 that performs outgoing call processing (call request) (similar to the communication terminal 1 except that the USIM is provided) performs subscriber information included in the USIM included in the wearable terminal 2 located around the communication terminal 1. To make a call request. This procedure will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the communication terminal 3 makes a call request. Specifically, the communication terminal 3 receives a call request operation and transmits a call notification corresponding to the call request to the mobile communication network. This call notification includes the subscriber information of the caller and the subscriber information of the callee. In the mobile communication network, it is determined whether or not the location of the destination subscriber information is registered. If the location has been registered in the past, the mobile communication network transmits a call notification to the base station in the location registration area where the location has been registered in the past. When there is no response to the call notification, the call notification is transmitted by expanding the transmission area. If the location has not been registered in the past, a call notification is transmitted to an arbitrary base station (for example, all base stations). Here, it is assumed that the mobile communication network transmits the call notification to the base station 4. The base station 4 distributes broadcast information (information including subscriber information of the called party) based on the call notification. And the mobile communication part 11 of the communication terminal 1 located in the cell 6 of the base station 4 receives the notification information.

In the case of the communication terminal 1 shown in FIG. 3, the distribution information is distributed to the wearable terminal 2 </ b> A located in the range of the transmittable / receivable area 5 </ b> A that is the range in which the communication terminal 1 can be distributed. Note that distribution information is not distributed to the wearable terminal 2B located outside the range of the transceivable area 5A because it deviates from the distributable range.

  The wearable terminal 2A that has received the distribution information from the communication terminal 1 compares the subscriber information of the distribution information with the subscriber information stored in the USIM of the wearable terminal 2A. And the USIM information of the wearable terminal 2A are transmitted to the communication terminal 1 using the address information included in the distribution information. This transmission is performed through the connection after the short-range wireless communication unit 14 establishes a connection with the wearable terminal 2A under the control of the incoming call notification control unit 16. Thereby, the short-range wireless communication unit 14 of the communication terminal 1 receives the subscriber information and the USIM information as a response from the wearable terminal 2A, and the determination unit 12 receives the subscriber information to be received based on the response. It is determined that the wearable terminal 2 having the position is located in the vicinity and that the wearable terminal 2 is communicable (step S3 determination step, incoming notification control step).

  The mobile communication unit 11 transmits the subscriber information received as the response and the identification information of the communication terminal 1A to the base station 4 and makes a location registration request (step S4, incoming notification control step). The mobile communication network issues an incoming call notification to the communication terminal 1 that has requested the location registration. The mobile communication unit 11 of the communication terminal 1 accepts the incoming call notification and notifies the incoming call notification control unit 16 of the incoming call notification. The incoming call notification control unit 16 performs incoming call notification processing by the communication terminal 1 itself, or makes an incoming call notification request to the wearable terminal 2A via the connection established as described above (step S5 incoming call control step). .

It is determined whether or not communication with the wearable terminal 2 is possible.

  Here, details of the second method will be described. When the determination unit 12A acquires the notification information from the mobile communication unit 11, the determination unit 12A notifies the subscriber information storage unit 15 of the subscriber information included in the notification information. Here, the subscriber information storage unit 15 searches whether or not the subscriber information is included in the list stored in the subscriber information storage unit 15 itself. The list is a list of information (location registration information) in which subscriber information and USIM information of wearable terminal 2 having the subscriber information are associated with each other. The subscriber information storage unit 15 includes the subscriber information and USIM information associated with the subscriber information when the subscriber information of the notification information is included in the list stored in the subscriber information storage unit 15 itself. To the determination unit 12A. When the subscriber information storage unit 15 does not include the subscriber information of the notification information in the list stored in the subscriber information storage unit 15 itself, the location information registered in the list includes the subscriber information of the notification information. The determination unit 12A is notified of the absence.

  When the determination unit 12A acquires the USIM information and the subscriber information from the subscriber information storage unit 15, the wearable terminal 2 having the same subscriber information as the subscriber information of the notification information is located in the vicinity, It is determined that communication with the wearable terminal 2 is possible. Then, the determination unit 12A sends the USIM information and subscriber information to the mobile communication unit 11. Further, when the determination unit 12A does not acquire the USIM information and the subscriber information from the subscriber information storage unit 15 (that is, the subscriber information indicating that there is no location registration information including the subscriber information of the notification information in the list) If acquired from the storage unit 15), it is determined that the wearable terminal 2 having the subscriber information corresponding to the broadcast information is not located in the vicinity or is not communicable with the wearable terminal 2, and does nothing The process ends.

The wearable terminal 2 is requested to acquire subscriber information and USIM information. Note that the short-range wireless communication unit 14A searches for a surrounding wearable terminal 2 by a known technique. For example, the short-range wireless communication unit 14A transmits a search signal to the surrounding area and receives a response to the search signal to search for the surrounding wearable terminal 2. Then, the short-range wireless communication unit 14A receives subscriber information and USIM information from the wearable terminal 2 in response to the acquisition request, and sends the subscriber information and USIM information to the subscriber information storage unit 15. The short-range wireless communication unit 14A measures the radio wave intensity from the wearable terminal 2 (that is, the intensity of the radio wave received from the wearable terminal 2) by a known technique. The radio field intensity measured by the short-range wireless communication unit 14A is sent to the subscriber information storage unit 15 described later.

  Further, the short-range wireless communication unit 14 </ b> A makes an incoming call notification request to the wearable terminal 2 in response to an incoming call notification instruction from the incoming call notification control unit 16, similarly to the short-range wireless communication unit 14 described above. In addition, since the subscriber information storage unit 15 of the communication terminal 1A stores the subscriber information included in the USIM included in the wearable terminal 2 in advance, the short-range wireless communication unit 14A has the mobile communication unit 11 as an incoming call target. There is no need for short-range wireless communication with the wearable terminal 2 having USIM as the incoming call subscriber information until receiving the incoming call notification instruction from the incoming call notification control unit 16 after receiving the broadcast information including the subscriber information.

  The subscriber information storage unit 15 acquires subscriber information and USIM information from the wearable terminals 2 around the communication terminal 1A, and stores location registration information in which the subscriber information and USIM information are associated with each other as a list. is there. In addition, the subscriber information storage unit 15 performs search processing and deletion processing on the list.

  The subscriber information storage unit 15 is preliminarily determined by the communication terminal 1A among the surrounding wearable terminals 2 at an acquisition timing (for example, timing by a certain period such as every few minutes) predetermined by the communication terminal 1A. The subscriber information and the USIM information are acquired from the wearable terminal 2 having the radio field strength equal to or higher than the short-range wireless communication unit 14A. A known technique is applied as a method for determining whether or not the signal strength is equal to or higher than a predetermined radio wave intensity. The subscriber information storage unit 15 stores subscriber information and USIM information acquired through the short-range wireless communication unit 14A as a list.

  Further, when the subscriber information storage unit 15 receives the subscriber information of the notification information from the determination unit 12A, the subscriber information storage unit 15 corresponds to the location registration information including the subscriber information received from the determination unit 12A (corresponding to the subscriber information received from the determination unit 12A). Search the location registration information) from the list. When the location registration information including the subscriber information received from the determination unit 12A is in the list, the subscriber information storage unit 15 notifies the determination unit 12A of the subscriber information and the USIM information of the location registration information. When there is no location registration information corresponding to the subscriber information in the notification information, the subscriber information storage unit 15 notifies the determination unit 12A that there is no location registration information corresponding to the subscriber information.
