  The telephone can store the telephone numbers of the people (family members, friends, etc.) that the user often calls and the secure telephone numbers of frequently used organizations (public institutions, hospitals, companies, etc.). . Conventionally, since there is no service that provides secure telephone number information to a telephone, the user registers the secure telephone number information in the telephone. However, telephone number registration is particularly difficult and burdensome for elderly users.

  In addition, public institutions having jurisdiction over the region, hospitals that are easily accessible from within the region, and companies that provide services within the region differ depending on the region. Therefore, every time the user moves, the user needs to check the telephone numbers of public institutions, hospitals, businesses, and the like that will be frequently used, and register those telephone numbers in the telephone.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a telephone with information on a safe telephone number that is useful to the user according to the residence area of the user of the telephone.

  In order to solve the above problems, a server according to one aspect of the present invention includes a secure telephone number storage unit that stores information on a secure telephone number, a telephone position specifying unit that specifies a position of the telephone, and the telephone position. A safety telephone that selects a part of the secure telephone number stored in the safety telephone number storage section based on the position of the telephone specified by the identification section and transmits information on the selected secure telephone number to the telephone. And a number transmission unit.

  According to one embodiment of the present invention, information on a safe telephone number that is useful to a user can be provided to the telephone according to the residence area of the user of the telephone.

Embodiment 1
The configuration of the telephone 1 and the safety number management server 100 (server) according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configurations of the telephone 1 and the safety number management server 100. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a communication system S 1 including a plurality of telephones 1 and a safety number management server 100. The safety number management server 100 manages and stores a database (safety number DB 120, see FIG. 4) of safe telephone numbers (hereinafter referred to as safety numbers). The safety number management server 100 provides a safety number list to the telephones 1 nationwide that subscribe to the service. Therefore, the user of the telephone 1 does not need to register the safety number in the telephone 1 himself. Further, it is desirable that the telephone 1 is configured to notify an incoming call by a different method (for example, a ringtone of a different melody) depending on whether the called number is an unknown telephone number or a safety number. In this configuration, the user can determine whether it is safe to respond to the incoming call based on the incoming call notification method.

  Safety numbers include telephone numbers of organizations such as public institutions, hospitals, and businesses. The safety number is not only provided from the safety number management server 100 to the telephone 1, but may be registered in the telephone 1 by the user. In FIG. 1, the safety number provided to the telephone 1 by the safety number management server 100 is described as a server provision number, and the safety number registered by the user in the telephone 1 is described as a user registration number.

(Communication system S1)
In the communication system S1, the telephone 1 and the safety number management server 100 perform data communication. The telephone 1 and the safety number management server 100 may be connected via, for example, a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) or may be connected via a LAN (Local Area Network).

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the communication system S1, the safety number management server 100 receives event logs from the plurality of telephones 1 (P1 in FIG. 2). Moreover, the safety number management server 100 acquires public information from an external organization (for example, NTT) (P2 in FIG. 2). The safety number management server 100 generates the safety number DB 120 using the event log received from the telephone 1 and public information provided from an external organization. Here, the event log may include, for example, communication history information of the telephone 1 and an update history of the telephone directory or speed dial of the telephone 1. The public information may include, for example, information such as the telephone number / address / industry of an individual in addition to information on the telephone number / address / industry of an organization such as a public institution, hospital, or company. A specific example of the event log and safety number DB 120 will be described later.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the telephone 1 requests the safety number management server 100 for a safety number list (P3 in FIG. 2). At this time, the telephone 1 transmits information on the user's residence area (that is, the current position of the telephone 1) to the safety number management server 100. The safety number management server 100 generates a safety number list by selecting a part of safety numbers from the safety numbers included in the safety number DB 120 based on the information on the user's residence area received from the telephone 1. To do. Then, the safety number management server 100 transmits the generated safety number list to the telephone 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the safety number list provided to the telephone 1 by the safety number management server 100 differs depending on the residence area of the user of the telephone 1 (that is, the current location of the telephone 1).

(Telephone 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, the telephone 1 includes an event log transmission unit 11 (transmission unit), a telephone control unit 12, an output unit 13 (notification unit), and a storage unit 14 (safety telephone number storage unit).

  The event log transmission unit 11 transmits the event log 141 (communication history) stored in the storage unit 14 to the safety number management server 100 every predetermined time. A specific example of the event log 141 will be described later. The output unit 13 presents or notifies various information by display, sound, light, or a combination thereof. The telephone control unit 12 controls each part of the telephone 1 in an integrated manner. The telephone control unit 12 includes a called number determination unit 121 (notification unit), a safety number list request unit 122, and a registration unit 123. The output unit 13 may include, for example, a display device, a speaker, and an LED. The storage unit 14 stores an event log 141 and a safety number list 142. Here, the safety number list 142 includes a list of safety numbers (user registration numbers in FIG. 1) input by the user to the telephone 1, and safety numbers received by the registration unit 123 from the safety number management server 100 (provided by the server in FIG. 1). Number) list.

(Telephone control unit 12)
The called number determination unit 121 of the telephone control unit 12 determines whether the called number (incoming phone number) is included in the safety number list 142 of the storage unit 14. When the called number is included in the safety number list 142, the called number determination unit 121 uses the output unit 13 to notify that the called number is safe. For example, the called number determination unit 121 may turn on or blink the LED provided in the output unit 13 or output a message such as “the called number is safe” from a speaker or display device provided in the output unit 13. May be.

  When the called number is included in the safety number list 142 of the storage unit 14, the called number determination unit 121 further determines whether the called number is the user registration number or the server provision number. The called number determination unit 121 changes the notification method according to whether the called number is the user registration number or the server provision number. For example, the called number determination unit 121 may change the blinking speed of the LED included in the output unit 13 according to whether the called number is the user registration number or the server provision number. You may change the tone of the ringtone output from the said speaker with which the part 13 was equipped. As a result, for example, the user can make a determination to respond when an incoming call is received from the user registration number, but not to respond when an incoming call is received from the server provision number. The user registration number is a telephone number of a partner who is close to the user (at least a party that the user is allowed to talk to), but the server registration number is a telephone number of a partner who wants to talk to the user. This is because the telephone number of the other party is not limited and may not be known by the user.

  When the server provision number includes individual and organization telephone numbers, the called number determination unit 121 determines that the called number is (i) the user registration number and (ii) the individual telephone number among the server provision numbers. The notification method may be changed in three ways depending on which number is included and (iii) the telephone number of the organization among the server-provided numbers. In addition, when displaying the call history on the display device of the output unit 13, the telephone control unit 12 may display the server provision number and the user registration number with different icons.

  The safety number list request unit 122 transmits a request for a safety number list to the safety number management server 100. Here, the safety number list requesting unit 122 transmits to the safety number management server 100 telephone position information indicating the current position of the telephone 1 together with the request for the safety number list. Here, the safety number list request unit 122 may specify the current position of the telephone 1 in any way. For example, the safety number list request unit 122 may acquire telephone position information from a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver (not shown) provided in the telephone 1. Alternatively, the safety number list request unit 122 may generate telephone position information from user information (information such as the user's address and postal code) stored in the storage unit 14 of the telephone 1. Alternatively, instead of the safety number list request unit 122, the telephone position specifying unit 112 of the safety number management server 100 uses the information on the telephone number notified from the telephone 1 when communicating with the telephone 1 to use the current location of the telephone 1. May be specified. Further, when the telephone 1 is connected to another information device (such as a mobile phone) by a short-range communication means (Bluetooth (registered trademark) or the like), the telephone 1 uses the location information of the information device acquired by the information device. And the acquired position information of the information device may be used as information indicating the approximate position of the telephone 1.

  The registration unit 123 receives the safety number list from the safety number list generation unit 113 of the safety number management server 100 and registers the received safety number list in the storage unit 14. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the registration unit 123 distinguishes between the safety number (user registration number) input by the user and the safety number (server provision number) received from the safety number management server 100, 14 may be registered. Further, the registration unit 123 may register the server provision number in the storage unit 14 by further distinguishing between the personal phone number and the company telephone number.

(Event log 141)
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the event log 141 stored in the storage unit 14. As shown in FIG. 3, the event log 141 may include information on a target telephone number (incoming telephone number), an event type, a list type, a registration list, a call time, an incoming date and time, and a registered date and time. The target telephone number includes the telephone number of the destination of the call made from the telephone 1, the telephone number of the caller of the telephone that has arrived at the telephone 1, and the telephone number that is the target of the operation. The event type information indicates the type of event that occurred (incoming event or phone book operation event). The list type information indicates the type of the telephone number list in which the target telephone number is registered at the time of occurrence of the event. The information of the registration list indicates the type of the telephone number list in which the target telephone number is registered after the occurrence of the event. The call time information indicates the elapsed time from the start of the call to the end. The information on the incoming date / time indicates the date / time when the telephone 1 made a call to the target telephone number or the date / time when the telephone 1 received an incoming call from the target telephone number. The registration date and time information indicates the date and time when the target telephone number was registered in one of the telephone number lists of the telephone 1.

  The event log 141 may further include information on the total number of incoming calls, the number of permitted incoming calls, and the number of rejected incoming calls. The total number of incoming calls is the total number of times that the telephone 1 has received an incoming call from another telephone. The permitted number of incoming calls is the number of times that the telephone 1 has responded to an incoming call from each called number. The number of rejected incoming calls is the number of times that the telephone 1 rejects a response to an incoming call from each called number.

(Safety number management server 100)
As shown in FIG. 1, the safety number management server 100 includes a server control unit 110 and a safety number DB 120. The server control unit 110 includes a safety number DB generation unit 111 (stored telephone number determination unit), a telephone position specifying unit 112, and a safety number list generation unit 113 (safety phone number transmission unit).

  The safety number DB generation unit 111 generates the safety number DB 120 using the event log received from the telephone 1 and the public information acquired from the external organization. The safety number DB generation unit 111 may determine a telephone number to be registered in the safety number DB 120 based on arbitrary information included in the event log. For example, the safety number DB generation unit 111 refers to the information of the “registration list” in the event log, and stores the telephone numbers registered in the safety number list (user registration numbers) of many telephones 1 in the safety number DB 120. You may register. In addition, the safety number DB generation unit 111 may register the destination telephone numbers of a large number of telephones 1 in the safety number DB 120 with reference to the “event type” information in the event log.

  In addition, a called number with a large “number of rejected incoming calls” is a telephone number with a large number of rejected responses by the telephone set 1 and is therefore likely to be dangerous. Therefore, the safety number DB generation unit 111 refers to the information of “number of rejected incoming calls” in the event log received from the telephone 1, and for each safety number in the safety number list, receives an incoming call from the safety number to the telephone 1. The higher the number of times the telephone 1 rejects the response to, the lower the priority of the safety number in the safety number list may be set. Furthermore, when the number of times that the telephone set 1 rejects the response to the incoming call from the safety number to the telephone set 1 is greater than the threshold, the safety number DB generation unit 111 may delete the safety number from the safety number list.

  The telephone position specifying unit 112 specifies the position a of the telephone 1 based on the telephone position information received from the safety number list requesting unit 122 of the telephone 1. Alternatively, when receiving the event log from the telephone 1, the telephone position specifying unit 112 acquires information on the telephone number of the telephone 1, and based on the area code of the telephone number of the telephone 1, the position a of the telephone 1 May be specified. Then, the telephone position specifying unit 112 outputs information indicating the position “a” of the telephone 1 to the safety number list generating unit 113.

  The safety number list generation unit 113 selects a part of the safety numbers from the safety numbers included in the safety number DB 120 based on the telephone position information (position a) acquired from the telephone position specifying unit 112. A safety number list to be transmitted to the telephone 1 is generated. Then, the safety number list generation unit 113 transmits the generated safety number list to the registration unit 123 of the telephone 1. Note that how the safety number list generation unit 113 generates a safety number list based on information indicating the position a of the telephone 1 will be described below.

(Safety number DB and safety number list)
The number of safety numbers included in the safety number DB 120 is enormous. Therefore, when all the safety numbers included in the safety number DB 120 are to be registered in the telephone 1, it takes a long time to transmit the safety number or the required memory amount of the telephone 1 becomes enormous. Problem arises. Therefore, as described below, in the present embodiment, a part of the safety number list transmitted to the telephone 1 is selected from the safety numbers included in the safety number DB 120 according to the user's residence area. .

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a data structure of the safety number DB 120 provided in the safety number management server 100. As shown in FIG. 4, in the safety number DB 120, the category / phone number / region (address) of the organization and the region where many telephones 1 are transmitted to the phone number of the organization (for example, “region A, B, C”). ) Are associated with each other. Here, whether or not a certain telephone 1 has made a call to a certain organization's telephone number is determined based on whether or not the event log of that telephone 1 includes a history of making a call to that organization. “Category” includes “City Hall”, “Police”, “Hospital”, “School”, “Library”, “Grocery Store”, “Bookstore”, “Barber / Beauty Salon”, “Restaurant”. A company category such as “delivery” may also be included.

  The safety number list generation unit 113 selects one organization for each category from the safety number DB 120 based on the telephone position information received from the safety number list request unit 122 of the telephone 1. For example, when the location a of the telephone 1 is included in the region A, the safety number list generation unit 113 selects the phone number “1 **-***-****” and the region “from the“ city hall ”category. Select one organization identified by XX City. That is, the organization selected by the safety number list generation unit 113 is an organization that frequently receives incoming calls from other telephones 1 existing in the area A including the position a. The user of the telephone 1 at the position “a” is highly likely to use an organization frequently used by other users who live in the area A including the position “a”. Therefore, the telephone set 1 at the position a is considered to have many opportunities to make a call to an organization that frequently receives incoming calls from other telephone sets 1 in the area A including the position a.

  On the other hand, when the position b of the telephone 1 is included in the region D, the safety number list generation unit 113 selects the phone number “2 **-***-****” and the region “from the“ city hall ”category. One organization specified by “XX town” is selected. Similarly, the safety number list generation unit 113 selects one organization from the “police” category based on the telephone position information. That is, the safety number list generation unit 113 selects one organization from each category included in the safety number DB 120 based on the telephone position information. In this way, the safety number list A transmitted to the telephone set 1 at the position a and the safety number list B transmitted to the telephone set 1 at the position b are respectively generated. Thus, since the safety number list is generated based on the telephone position information indicating the position of the telephone 1, as shown in FIG. 4, the safety number list A transmitted to the telephone 1 at the position a, the position It is different from the safety number list B transmitted to the telephone 1 in b. Even when the user's residence area is the area A, the safety number list A may include an organization existing in another area C. For example, when another user who lives in the same area A as the user often uses an organization in another area D, the safety number list A includes the telephone number of the organization in the area D. May be included.

  According to the above-described configuration, only the information on the safety number useful for the user can be provided to the telephone set 1 according to the user's residence area. The safety number transmitted from the safety number management server 100 to the telephone 1 is a part of the safety number included in the safety number DB 120. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the time required for transmitting the safety number and reduce the amount of telephone memory required to store the safety number. Furthermore, since the safety number corresponding to the position of the telephone 1 is automatically registered in the telephone 1, the user does not need to perform a troublesome operation for inputting information such as the safety number and name. In particular, immediately after purchasing the telephone 1, when the telephone number is not yet registered in the telephone 1, the user registers the telephone number and name in the telephone 1 in order to register the telephone number and name in the telephone directory of the telephone 1. Etc. do not need to be entered by the user.

[Embodiment 2]
In another embodiment 2, the safety number DB generation unit 111 receives the number of times an organization has received an incoming call (hereinafter referred to as the number of incoming calls), or the number of times an incoming call from the organization to the telephone 1 is allowed (hereinafter, the number of allowed times). Or the like, it may be determined whether or not to add the telephone number of the organization to the safety number DB 120. In the second embodiment, the safety number DB generation unit 111 of the safety number management server 100 extracts the communication history between the telephone 1 and the organization from the event log of the telephone 1 nationwide, and receives the incoming call of the organization. The number of times or the number of times allowed is calculated. Alternatively, the information on the number of incoming calls or the number of permitted times of the organization may be included in the event log. When the number of incoming calls or the number of permitted times exceeds a threshold, the safety number DB generation unit 111 may register the telephone number of the organization in the safety number DB 120.

  Further, when the safety number management server 100 possesses data in which a name and a telephone number are associated (for example, telephone book data provided by NTT or the like), ) A safety number list including name information associated with the safety number may be transmitted to the telephone set 1. In this configuration, the telephone 1 can register a safety number list including a safety number and a name in the storage unit 14.

[Embodiment 3]
In another embodiment 3, when the user inputs a telephone number to the telephone 1 (or when a further outgoing call operation is performed), the server control unit 110 makes a call to the telephone number (from another telephone number). The frequency information may be transmitted to the telephone set 1 and displayed on the display device of the output unit 13. In the third embodiment, the server control unit 110 calculates the number of incoming calls or the number of permitted times of each safety number included in the safety number DB 120 by the method described in the second embodiment.

  According to the configuration of the third embodiment, the user can determine whether to make a call to the input telephone number using information displayed on the display device as an index. The server control unit 110 may also display information on the time distribution of the number of times the telephone number input by the user has received an incoming call on the display device of the output unit 13. For example, the server control unit 110 displays information such as “from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock: 3 times, from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock: 5 times, from 12 o'clock to 15 o'clock: twice, and from 15 o'clock to 18 o'clock: once.” It's okay. In this configuration, based on the information displayed on the display device, the user determines when to make a call to the telephone number input to the telephone 1 and that the line of the telephone number is likely not congested. can do. In the above example, since the number of calls to the telephone number entered by the user is the smallest in the time zone from 15:00 to 18:00, the user makes a call to the telephone number in the time zone from 15:00 to 18:00. can do.

[Embodiment 4]
In another embodiment 4, in addition to the information indicating the position of the telephone 1, other information regarding the telephone 1 or its user may be transmitted from the telephone 1 to the safety number management server 100. Here, the other information unique to the telephone 1 includes, for example, sensing information (information such as a user's physical condition) and user operation information.

  According to the configuration of the fourth embodiment, the safety number management server 100 can provide the telephone 1 with a safety number list that is more convenient for the user of the telephone 1. For example, when the safety number management server 100 receives information indicating that the user's health condition is bad from the telephone 1, the safety number management server 100 may transmit the telephone number information of the hospital (close to the user's residence area) to the telephone 1. Good. When there are a plurality of users who use one telephone 1, the safety number management server 100 may transmit a different safety number list for each user.

  For example, when the safety number management server 100 receives, as sensing information, information indicating that the user's health condition is poor from the telephone 1, the telephone number information of the hospital that the telephone 1 has transmitted in the past is 1 may be provided. In addition, when there are a plurality of hospital telephone numbers that the telephone 1 has transmitted in the past, the safety number management server 100 provides information on the telephone number of the hospital with the largest number of calls from the telephone 1 to the hospital. Alternatively, information on the telephone number of the hospital that the telephone 1 has transmitted recently may be provided. The safety number management server 100 may provide the telephone 1 with information on telephone numbers of a plurality of hospitals. In this configuration, the priority of the telephone number of the hospital with the highest number of calls from the telephone 1 to the hospital or the telephone number of the hospital that the telephone 1 has recently transmitted may be increased.

  Moreover, the safety number management server 100 may receive information on the user's blood pressure and body temperature as sensing information. In this configuration, the safety number management server 100 has an index value indicating a bad health condition of the user, such as the magnitude of the user's blood pressure increase, the user's body temperature, or the time during which the user's fever is sustained. If it is higher, the telephone number information of the telephone 1 may be provided to 119 (emergency number) or a hospital. In addition, when the user's heart rate is slightly increased, the user's health is not bad, but when it is worse than normal, the safety number management server 100 registers the phone number of the user's family in the telephone 1. The telephone number information of the telephone 1 may be provided to the telephone number of the telephone 1 and the telephone number of the friend of the user who is frequently calling from the telephone 1.

  The safety number management server 100 may receive information acquired by a human sensor provided in the telephone 1 as sensing information. In this configuration, for example, when the frequency of detecting the user by the human sensor is less than normal, or when the human sensor has not detected the user for a predetermined period of time, the safety number management server 100 is The telephone number information of the telephone 1 may be provided to the telephone numbers of family members and friends.

  As described above, the safety number management server 100 collects the transmission history (event log) of the telephone 1. Therefore, the safety number management server 100 obtains the telephone number information that matches the telephone number of the telephone 1 with respect to the area code and the local area code among the telephone numbers that are frequently transmitted from the telephone 1 to the telephone number. May be provided. In this configuration, for example, when an emergency occurs, the user can easily make a call to a close neighbor (for example, a friend who lives in the neighborhood of the user).

[Embodiment 5: Implementation by software]
The control block (especially the event log transmission unit 11 and the telephone control unit 12) of the telephone 1 and the control block (particularly the server control unit 110) of the safety number management server 100 are logical circuits formed in an integrated circuit (IC chip) or the like. It may be realized by a circuit (hardware) or may be realized by software using a CPU (Central Processing Unit).

  In the latter case, the telephone 1 and the safety number management server 100 include a CPU that executes instructions of a program that is software that realizes each function, and a ROM (in which the program and various data are recorded so as to be readable by a computer (or CPU)). A Read Only Memory) or a storage device (these are referred to as “recording media”), a RAM (Random Access Memory) for expanding the program, and the like are provided. And the objective of this invention is achieved when a computer (or CPU) reads the said program from the said recording medium and runs it. As the recording medium, a “non-temporary tangible medium” such as a tape, a disk, a card, a semiconductor memory, a programmable logic circuit, or the like can be used. The program may be supplied to the computer via an arbitrary transmission medium (such as a communication network or a broadcast wave) that can transmit the program. The present invention can also be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave in which the program is embodied by electronic transmission.
