A battery 13, a first wireless unit 14, a second wireless unit 15, a third wireless unit 16 as a communication unit, a storage 20 as a storage unit, and a controller 21 as a control unit.

  The display 2 includes a display panel 2A and has a display function. The display panel 2A is configured by, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), an inorganic EL, or the like. The display panel 2A displays characters, images, symbols, graphics, or the like, for example.

  The display 2 includes a touch sensor 2B having an input function. The touch sensor 2B is formed in a transparent sheet shape and is disposed on the display panel 2A. The user visually recognizes the display panel 2A through the touch sensor 2B. The touch sensor 2 </ b> B detects, for example, a position where a user's finger, a stylus pen, or the like contacts the display 2 as an input to the user's display 2.

  Key 3 has an input function as a hard key. The key 3 is operated by the user. The controller 21 detects a user operation on the key 3 as an input in cooperation with the key 3. User operations on the keys are, for example, click, double click, push, long push, and multi-push. The key 3 includes operation keys 3A to 3C, a volume key 3D, a power key 3E, and a security buzzer key 3F.

  The operation keys 3A to 3C are keys for displaying a desired screen on the display 2 when the electronic device 1 is in a power-on state. For example, push button type keys are employed as the operation keys 3A to 3C as hard keys. The operation keys 3A to 3C may be soft keys. In this case, for example, touch sensor type keys are employed as the operation keys 3A to 3C. When the operation keys 3A to 3C are soft keys, the input function of the touch sensor 2B may detect a user operation on the operation keys 3A to 3C. In this case, the operation keys 3A to 3C may be arranged in the display 2 (touch sensor 2B).

  The operation key 3A is, for example, a back key. The user presses the operation key 3A to return the current screen displayed on the display 2 to the previous screen.

  The operation key 3B is, for example, a home key. When the user wants to display the home screen on the display 2, the user presses the operation key 3B.

  The operation key 3C is, for example, a menu key. When the user wants to display the menu screen on the display 2, the user presses the operation key 3C. Furthermore, the user can display the setting screen of the electronic device 1 on the display 2 by touching the menu screen displayed on the display 2 with a finger or the like. In addition, the user can shift the electronic device 1 to the in-flight mode from the setting screen of the electronic device 1 displayed on the display 2. The in-flight mode will be described later.

  The volume key 3D is a key for adjusting the volume of sound output from the receiver 5 and the speaker 9. The volume key 3D includes, for example, two keys, an up key and a down key. For example, push-button keys are employed as the up key and the down key as hard keys. When the user wants to increase the volume of the sound output from the receiver 5 or the speaker 9, the user presses the up key marked with “+”. Further, when the user wants to lower the volume of the sound output from the receiver 5 or the speaker 9, the user presses the down key marked with “−”.

  The power key 3E is a key for starting up the electronic apparatus 1. As the power key 3E as a hard key, for example, a push button type key is adopted. The user presses the power key 3E to activate the electronic device 1 whose power is off. The user can also press the power key 3E for a long time (for example, 1 second or longer) to shift the electronic device 1 in the normal mode to the pseudo power-off mode. Further, when the user wants to cancel the pseudo power-off mode of the electronic device 1, the user presses the power key 3E for a long time (for example, 1 second or longer). The normal mode and the pseudo power-off mode will be described later.

  The security buzzer key 3F is a key for causing the electronic device 1 to execute a security buzzer function. For example, a push button type key is adopted as the crime prevention buzzer key 3F as a hard key. For example, when the user encounters a suspicious person, the user presses the security buzzer key 3F.

  Note that the input function of the security buzzer key 3F is enabled not only when the electronic device 1 is in the normal mode but also when the electronic device 1 is in the pseudo power-off mode. This is because the electronic device 1 can execute the security buzzer function not only in the normal mode but also in the pseudo power-off mode. The security buzzer function will be described later.

  The cameras 4A and 4B have a shooting function. The camera 4A is a so-called in-camera and photographs an object facing the front face 1A. The camera 4B is a so-called out-camera and photographs an object facing the back face 1B.

  The receiver 5 converts the sound signal transmitted from the controller 21 into sound and outputs the sound. The receiver 5 outputs the voice of the other party during the call.

  The lamp 6 has a notification function. The lamp 6 includes, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode). For example, the lamp 6 is turned on when the battery 13 is being charged to notify the user that the battery 13 is being charged. Further, for example, the lamp 6 is turned on when mail is received, and notifies the user that mail has been received. Further, for example, the lamp 6 is turned on when an incoming call is received to notify the user that the incoming call has been received.

  The proximity sensor 7 has a detection function. The proximity sensor 7 detects the presence of a nearby object without contact. For example, the user brings the display 2 close to the face when making a call using the electronic device 1. At this time, the proximity sensor 7 detects the user's face as a nearby object. When the proximity sensor 7 detects the user's face as a nearby object, the controller 21 turns off the display function of the display 2.

  The light 8 has a light emitting function. The light 8 includes, for example, an LED. For example, the light 8 emits light when the camera 4B captures an object. For example, the light 8 can emit light as simple illumination.

  The speaker 9 has a notification function. For example, the speaker 9 outputs a predetermined ring tone when there is an incoming call to notify the user that there is an incoming call. Further, for example, the speaker 9 outputs a predetermined alarm sound at a preset time to notify the user that it is the predetermined time.

  The microphone 10 converts the voice of the user who is talking and nearby sounds into audio signals and transmits them to the controller 21.

  The vibrator 11 has a notification function. The vibrator 11 includes a vibrator such as a piezoelectric element. For example, the vibrator 11 vibrates when receiving a mail and notifies the user that the mail has been received. Further, for example, the vibrator 11 vibrates during an incoming call and notifies the user that the incoming call is being received.

  The connector 12 is a terminal to which another device is connected. The connector 12 is, for example, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) terminal. When the USB cable of the charger is connected to the connector 12, the battery 13 is charged. The battery 13 supplies power to the components in the electronic device 1.

  The first wireless unit 14 has a communication function. The first wireless unit 14 communicates with other electronic devices and a server connected to the Internet via the base station. The first wireless unit 14 performs communication based on a communication standard such as LTE (Long Term Evolution).

  The second wireless unit 15 has a reception function. The second wireless unit 15 receives radio waves from a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite. When the second wireless unit 15 receives radio waves from GPS satellites, the controller 21 acquires position information of the electronic device 1.

  The third wireless unit 16 has a communication function. The communication function of the third wireless unit 16 includes a communication function compliant with Bluetooth (registered trademark) and a communication function compliant with WiFi (Wireless Fidelity). The third wireless unit 16 performs short-range wireless communication with other devices using a communication function compliant with Bluetooth (registered trademark). The third wireless unit 16 can also be connected to a WiFi spot by a communication function compliant with WiFi.

  Note that the communication function of the third wireless unit 16 may include, for example, a communication function that conforms to ISO / IEC14443 or ISO / IEC18092. With this communication function, the electronic device 1 can use the non-contact IC card technology. For example, when purchasing a product at a store, the user can pay for the product by holding the electronic device 1 over a predetermined reader.

  The storage 20 stores programs and data as a storage unit. The storage 20 is also used as a storage unit that temporarily stores the processing result of the controller 21. The storage 20 may be composed of any storage device such as a semiconductor storage device and a magnetic storage device. Further, the storage 20 may be composed of a plurality of types of storage devices. The storage 20 may be configured by a combination of a portable storage medium such as a memory card and a storage medium reading device.

  The programs stored in the storage 20 include an application executed in the foreground or background and a control program that supports the operation of the application. For example, the application displays a predetermined image on the display 2 and causes the controller 21 to execute a process corresponding to a user operation detected via the touch sensor 2B. The control program is an OS (Operating System). The application and the control program may be installed in the storage 20 via wireless communication by the first wireless unit 14 or the like or a storage medium.

  The controller 21 controls and manages the entire electronic device 1 as a control unit. The controller 21 is configured by any suitable processor such as a general-purpose CPU (central processing unit) that reads software for executing processing of each function. Or the controller 21 may be comprised by the processor for exclusive use specialized in the process of each function, for example. A program executed by the controller 21 is stored in the storage 20.

  In this embodiment, the controller 21 will perform a security buzzer function, if the user operation with respect to the security buzzer key 3F is detected. For example, the controller 21 causes the speaker 9 to output a buzzer sound or causes the camera 5B to photograph a suspicious person. At this time, the buzzer sound output from the speaker 9 may have a volume exceeding the maximum value that can be set by the user operating the volume key 3D. Further, the controller 21 may make an emergency notification using a mail function or the like to a partner security company or an emergency contact address registered in advance. At this time, the controller 21 may transmit the location information of the user acquired by the second wireless unit 15 together with the emergency notification to a security company or an emergency contact information registered in advance. For example, when an emergency notification is received, the security company determines the position of the user from the position information of the electronic device 1 and prompts a security guard patroling the vicinity of the determined position to the scene, or contacts the police, etc. To do.

  The security buzzer function can be executed not only when the electronic device 1 is in the normal mode but also when the electronic device 1 is in the pseudo power-off mode. When the electronic device 1 is in the pseudo power-off mode and executes the security buzzer function, the controller 21 cancels the pseudo power-off mode and shifts the electronic device 1 to the normal mode.

  In the present embodiment, the controller 21 executes a security buzzer function as a function related to crime prevention, but is not limited to this. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the function which concerns on a crime, ie, a security buzzer function, shall be performed by operation with respect to the security buzzer key 3F as a trigger, it is not limited to this. For example, the security buzzer function may be executed when the user pulls the strap provided in the electronic device 1 with a predetermined force or more.

  The controller 21 executes each function according to the mode of the electronic device 1. The modes of the electronic device 1 include, for example, a normal mode, a sleep mode, a power off mode, a pseudo power off mode, and an in-flight mode. Hereinafter, these modes will be described.

<Normal mode>
The normal mode is a mode in which the power source of the electronic device 1 is on and almost all the functions of the electronic device 1 are executable. The functions of the electronic device 1 include, for example, main functions and additional functions. The main functions are, for example, an incoming call function, an outgoing call function, an e-mail reception function, an e-mail transmission function, a security buzzer function, an answering machine function, and the like. Additional functions include, for example, the display function of the display 2, the notification function of the speaker 9, the notification function of the vibrator 11, the notification function of the lamp 6, the input function of the touch sensor 2B, the light emission function of the light 8, and the input of the operation keys 3A to 3C. Functions, volume key 3D input function, power key 3E input function, first wireless unit 14 communication function, second wireless unit 15 reception function, third wireless unit 16 communication function, battery 13 charging function, etc. is there.

  For example, in the normal mode, when the first wireless unit 14 detects an incoming call from another terminal, the controller 21 executes the incoming call function as a main function. In addition, the controller 21 causes the lamp 6, the speaker 9, and the vibrator 11 to execute a notification function as an additional function.

<Sleep mode>
The sleep mode is a mode in which some of the additional functions of the electronic device 1 are restricted in order to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device 1 when the power of the electronic device 1 is on. In the sleep mode, some of the limited additional functions are, for example, display functions of the display 2.

  For example, when the electronic device 1 is in the normal mode, the controller 21 shifts the electronic device 1 from the normal mode to the sleep mode when a user operation on the operation key 3A or the like is not detected for a predetermined time. The controller 21 may execute the application in the background during the sleep mode. The controller 21 may execute the incoming call function when the first wireless unit 14 detects an incoming call from another terminal. At this time, the controller 21 causes the lamp 6, the speaker 9, and the vibrator 11 to execute a notification function as an additional function.

<Power off mode>
The power-off mode is a mode in which the main function of the electronic device 1 is restricted while the power of the electronic device 1 is in an off state. Note that, in the power-off mode, only the input function of the power key 3E for starting up the electronic device 1 and the charging function of the battery 13 among the additional functions of the electronic device 1 can be executed.

  For example, when the electronic device 1 is in the power-off mode, the controller 21 activates the electronic device 1 when detecting a user operation on the power key 3E. For example, when the controller 21 detects that the USB cable of the charger is connected to the connector 12 during the power-off mode, the controller 21 charges the battery 13.

  Note that the transition of the electronic device 1 to the power-off mode is performed by the guardian operating a menu for the guardian preset in the electronic device 1.

<Pseudo power off mode>
The pseudo power-off mode is a mode in which the power of the electronic device 1 is on and some functions of the normal mode are limited. In other words, in the pseudo power-off mode, the electronic device 1 is turned on and the specific function of the electronic device 1 is maintained to be executable while a part of the functions of the normal mode is restricted to supply power to the user. This is a mode for the electronic device 1 to wear as if is in an off state. For example, in a public place, the pseudo power-off mode is used when it is desired to disguise as if the power is off while maintaining the security buzzer function and answering machine function as specific functions. The In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the specific functions maintained to be executable in the pseudo power-off mode are a security buzzer function and an answering machine function. Further, the specific function maintained to be executable may include the communication function of the first wireless unit 14 or the reception function of the second wireless unit 15. Some functions that are restricted in the pseudo power-off mode include, for example, the display function of the display 2, the notification function of the speaker 9, the notification function of the vibrator 11, the notification function of the lamp 6, the input function of the touch sensor 2B, and the light 8 And at least one of input functions of some hard keys (for example, operation keys 3A to 3C).

  For example, when the controller 21 detects that the power key 3E is pressed for a long time (for example, 1 second or longer) while the electronic device 1 is in the normal mode, the controller 21 shifts the electronic device 1 from the normal mode to the pseudo power-off mode. Let For example, the controller 21 turns off the display function of the display 2 or disables user operations on the operation keys 3A to 3C and the volume key 3D. In this way, the electronic device 1 can be disguised as if it is in a power-off state for the user. In addition, even if the electronic device 1 is in the pseudo power-off mode, the security buzzer function and the answering machine function are maintained in an executable state. Therefore, even if the electronic device 1 is in the pseudo power-off mode, the safety of the user can be ensured.

<Airplane mode>
The in-flight mode is a mode in which a part of the communication function of the electronic device 1 is restricted based on the aircraft safety standard as a predetermined standard when the power source of the electronic device 1 is on. For example, the in-flight mode is a mode used when the user brings the electronic device 1 into an airplane and wants to use the shooting function of the camera 4B.

  Some communication functions restricted based on aircraft safety standards include, for example, the communication function of the first wireless unit 14, the communication function compliant with Bluetooth (registered trademark) of the third wireless unit 16, and the third wireless unit. At least one of the communication functions compliant with the WiFi of the unit 16 is included.

  The reception function of the second wireless unit 15 is a function for receiving radio waves from GPS satellites, and is not a function for transmitting strong electromagnetic waves. Therefore, the reception function of the second wireless unit 15 is not particularly limited in the airplane mode. Further, when the communication function of the third wireless unit 16 includes a communication function based on ISO / IEC14443 or ISO / IEC18092, this communication function may be limited in the in-flight mode.

  For example, when the controller 21 detects a user operation for shifting the electronic device 1 to the in-flight mode via the touch sensor 2B, the controller 21 turns off the communication function of the first wireless unit 14. Further, the controller 21 turns off the communication function compliant with Bluetooth (registered trademark) of the third wireless unit 16 and the communication function compliant with WiFi of the third wireless unit 16.

  The in-flight mode can be used not only when the electronic device 1 is brought into an airplane but also when the electronic device 1 is brought into a place where a restriction on the communication function is required. For example, the in-flight mode can be used when the electronic device 1 is brought into a hospital.

<Processing for security buzzer function>
By the way, after the user shifts the electronic device 1 to the in-flight mode, the user may shift the electronic device 1 to the pseudo power-off mode while the in-flight mode is valid. For example, when the user brings the electronic device 1 into the airplane, the electronic device 1 is switched to the airplane mode, and then when the user gets off the airplane and arrives at a public place, the electronic device 1 is in a state where the airplane mode is valid. There is a case of shifting to the pseudo power-off mode. In addition, for example, when the user brings the electronic device 1 into the hospital, the user moves the electronic device 1 to the in-flight mode, and then considers that the hospital is a public place, and the electronic device 1 is in the state where the in-flight mode is valid The device 1 may be shifted to the pseudo power off mode.

  When the electronic device 1 is shifted to the pseudo power-off mode while the in-flight mode is valid, the electronic device 1 enters the pseudo power-off mode while maintaining the in-flight mode valid. When the in-flight mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode is set, some communication functions of the electronic device 1 are limited as in the in-flight mode.

  Here, as described above, the security buzzer function can be executed even when the electronic device 1 is in the pseudo power-off mode. Therefore, the security buzzer function may be executed even when the in-flight mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode. As described above, the pseudo power-off mode is canceled when the security buzzer function is executed. However, if the crime prevention buzzer function is executed when the airplane mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode, the airplane mode remains valid even if the pseudo power-off mode is canceled. When the security buzzer function is executed in such a state, a situation occurs in which the function related to the communication function restricted by the in-flight mode is not executed.

  For example, when the communication function of the first wireless unit 14 is restricted by the in-flight mode, when the crime prevention buzzer function is executed, the security function or the like that is affiliated with the mail function by the first wireless unit 14 or the like It becomes impossible to notify. Further, even if the user's location information can be acquired by the reception function of the second wireless unit 15, if the communication function of the first wireless unit 14 is restricted by the in-flight mode, the mail function by the first wireless unit 14 is used for security. The user's location information cannot be sent to the company.

  In order to avoid the above situation, in the present embodiment, the controller 21 is a communication that transmits position information when executing the security buzzer function when the in-flight mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode. Remove the function restriction. In this way, even when the in-flight mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode is set, it is possible to transmit the user position information when the security buzzer function is executed.

  The communication function for transmitting the position information is, for example, the communication function of the first wireless unit 14. The controller 21 may cancel the in-flight mode instead of canceling the restriction on the communication function for transmitting the position information.

  The state in which the in-flight mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode is, for example, after the electronic device 1 is shifted to the in-flight mode, and then the electronic device 1 is in the pseudo power-off mode in a state in which the in-flight mode is valid. It can occur by migrating.

  Further, the state in which the in-flight mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode can be generated also by enabling the in-flight mode by remote operation from the outside after the electronic device 1 is shifted to the pseudo power-off mode.

[System operation]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the electronic device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, it is assumed that the electronic device 1 is in the pseudo power-off mode before the process of step S1. In the following description, it is assumed that the security buzzer key 3F is pressed by the user before the process of step S1. In the following description, it is assumed that the communication function for transmitting position information is the communication function of the first wireless unit 14.

  The controller 21 detects a user operation on the crime prevention buzzer key 3F (step S1). Then, the controller 21 cancels the pseudo power-off mode (step S2) and causes the speaker 9 to output a buzzer sound (step S3). In addition, the controller 21 may cause the camera 5B to photograph a suspicious person.

  The controller 21 determines whether the in-flight mode is valid (step S4). When the controller 21 determines that the in-flight mode is valid (step S4: Yes), the controller 21 proceeds to the process of step S5. On the other hand, when the controller 21 determines that the in-flight mode is invalid (step S4: No), the controller 21 proceeds to the process of step S7.

  In the process of step S <b> 5, the controller 21 releases the restriction on the communication function of the first wireless unit 14.

  With the processing in steps S1 to S5, in the present embodiment, when the airplane mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode, the security buzzer function is executed and the communication function for transmitting position information is limited. Is released. In this way, even when the in-flight mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode is set, it is possible to transmit the user position information when the security buzzer function is executed.

  In the process of step S <b> 6, the controller 21 transmits the user position information acquired by the second wireless unit 15 using the mail function or the like by the first wireless unit 14. The reception function of the second wireless unit 15 is not limited by the airplane mode. Therefore, it should be noted that the user's position information can be acquired by the second wireless unit 15 in parallel with the processing of steps S1 to S5.

  Since the process of step S7 is the same as the process of step S6, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the process of step S5, the controller 21 may cancel the in-flight mode instead of releasing the restriction on the communication function of the first wireless unit 14.

  As described above, in the electronic device 1 according to the present embodiment, when the in-flight mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode is performed, when the crime prevention buzzer function is executed, the communication function for transmitting the position information is limited. Canceled. In this way, even when the in-flight mode is valid and the pseudo power-off mode is set, it is possible to transmit the user position information when the security buzzer function is executed. Therefore, this embodiment can provide an improved electronic device 1.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various variations and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, functions included in each component, step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically contradictory, and a plurality of components, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one It is. Also, an embodiment of the present invention has been described centering on the apparatus. However, the present invention can also be realized as a method, a program executed by a processor included in the apparatus, or a storage medium storing the program. Therefore, it should be understood that these are also included in the scope of the present invention.
