In some cases, the voice M11 may be transmitted to the server 100. This can be realized by storing voice information as a user of the communication apparatus 300 in advance. Then, the server 100 outputs display information that causes the display device 240 of the terminal 200 to display a message “M21” “I ’m right” as a message from the user L3. Note that the voice information associated with the child user is not limited to the voice uttered by the child user, but may be a voice set in advance to identify the child user. For example, from the mobile phone owned by the child user It may be a sound to be output or a predetermined sound recorded in advance.

  The communication apparatus 300 outputs audio information corresponding to the audio information collected by the microphone 350 from the speaker 360. For example, the communication apparatus 300 displays a message (message M12 that “a snack apple pie is in the refrigerator” in the example of FIG. 4B) set in advance by the caregiver for the user L3, and the speaker. 360 may be output. The message may be stored in the storage device 380 of the communication device 300, or may be stored in the storage device 150 of the server 100 and transmitted to the communication device 300 via the communication network 600. In addition, the operation | movement by the communication apparatus 300 after the audio | voice by a child user is collected is not restricted to this. For example, the communication apparatus 300 may play music according to a child user, or may output a pre-stored schedule (for example, the start time of learning, the scheduled time for the parent user to return home, etc.) from the speaker 360.

  Furthermore, when the communication apparatus 300 cannot confirm the voice input by the child user for a predetermined time (10 seconds as an example and not limitation) after outputting the message “Return”, the information processing unit 311 of the communication apparatus 300. May output information prompting to input predetermined audio information from the speaker 360. For example, a voice message “Please say now” may be output from the speaker 360. If the voice of the child user cannot be collected from the microphone 350 even after the information prompting the child user to input predetermined voice information is output, the communication device 300 can receive the message, music, schedule, etc. to the child user described above. The output may not be performed.

<Sequence Diagram of Process of Fourth Embodiment>
Here, each process of the transmission apparatus 400, the other communication apparatus 300N, the server 100, and the information processing terminal 200 is demonstrated based on the sequence diagram of FIG. Transmitting section 411 of transmitting apparatus 400 transmits a radio signal including identification information of transmitting apparatus 400 (step P10). The receiving unit 313 of the other communication device 300 receives a radio signal transmitted from the transmitting device 400 when the transmitting device 400 of the child user enters the area of the own device (step P11). And the transmission part 314 of the other communication apparatus 300 transmits the information regarding the transmission apparatus 400 to the server 100 (step P12). Further, the parent user's terminal 200 transmits the position information of the own terminal to the server 100 (step P13). The transmission of the position information from the terminal 200 may be performed in response to a request from the server 100, or may be periodically performed from the terminal 200. The receiving unit 113 of the server 100 receives information regarding the position of the parent user's terminal 200 (step P14). The determination unit 115 of the server 100 determines whether or not the position of the parent user's terminal 200 is separated from the other communication apparatus 300 by a predetermined distance or more (step P15). When the position of the parent user's terminal 200 is a predetermined distance or more away from the other communication device 300 (Yes in Step P15), the server 100 receives the radio signal from the transmission device 400 by the other communication device 300. The output information for outputting the information indicating the fact is transmitted to the parent user's terminal 200 (step P16). Information based on the output information received from the server 100 is output to the display device 240 of the terminal 200 (step P17). Further, in the other communication device 300, when the wireless signal from the transmission device 400 is received, whether or not the voice information associated with the child user is accepted, that is, the microphone 350 receives the voice information of the child user. It is determined whether or not (step P18). When the audio information of the child user is received (Yes in Step P18), the audio information corresponding to the identification information of the transmitting device is output from the speaker 360 of the communication device 300 (Step P20). If the audio information of the child user is not received for a predetermined time or longer (No in Step P18), information prompting the input of the predetermined audio information is output from the speaker 360 of the communication device 300 (Step P19). After step S19, the process returns to step S18, and it is continuously determined whether or not the voice information of the child user has been received. If the position of the parent user's terminal 200 is not separated from the other communication device 300 by a predetermined distance or more (No in step P15), the process is terminated. In consideration of the home of the user N2 who is another user, it is not necessary to output the predetermined audio information in Step P20.

<Effects of Fourth Embodiment>
As described above, according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, it is detected that the child user has entered a place different from the home and notified to the parent user. Can be secured. In addition, since the detection that the child user has entered a place different from the home only needs to be registered in association with the user N2 of the other communication device 300N as a friend of the parent user L1 in the messaging service, a complicated setting is required. Therefore, it is possible to provide an easy-to-use voice notification system. Further, a message can be transmitted from the parent user to the child user from a remote location, and the message may be displayed on a message screen of a group including the user N2 of the other communication device 300N, or the other communication device 300N. May be output by voice. Therefore, the possibility that the message from the parent user is reliably delivered to the child user can be increased.

<Modification of Fourth Embodiment>
In the above description, the mode in which the user N2 is associated as the friend of the user L1 has been described. However, if the user N2 and the user L1 use a predetermined messaging service and own the communication device 300N and the communication device 300, respectively, it is determined that the transmission device 400 of the user L3 is detected by the communication device 300N. The terminal 200 can be notified. In this case, when the communication device 300N of the user N2 receives a predetermined wireless signal, the communication device 300N transmits identification information of the transmission device included in the wireless signal to the server 100. The server 100 can determine the transmission device that has entered the area T30 of the communication device 300N based on the identification information of the transmission device, and can extract information regarding the child user and the parent user associated with the transmission device. In this case, the notification to the parent user L1 is detected by the child user L3 in a predetermined block (for example, XX town xx chome) including the communication device 300N based on the position information of the communication device 300N of the user N2. It may be carried out in the manner described above. Thereby, it is possible to give a sense of security to the parent user L1 while considering the personal information of the user N2.

  As described above, the user N2 and the user L1 may be able to exchange messages via the communication device 300N even if they are not associated as friends in the messaging service. As described above, from the viewpoint of personal information, the user L1 cannot know until the location where the transmission device 400 of the child user L3 is detected is the home of the user N2. However, for example, a message may be transmitted to the user N2 by the server 100 by inputting a message at the terminal 200 of the user L1. In that case, for example, information such as “to user N2” may be supplemented to the message.

  Further, information that prompts the user N2 to be friends (information to be displayed as friend candidates) may be transmitted to the terminal 200 of the user L1. Alternatively, information that prompts to become friends with the user L1 may be transmitted to the terminal of the user N2. In this case, it is assumed that each user permits to display himself / herself as a friend candidate.

<Effects of Modification of Fourth Embodiment>
As described above, according to the modification of the fourth embodiment, the user N2 has the communication device 300N and is configured to detect a radio signal transmitted from a user transmission device that is not associated as a friend. Even if the user L1 is not necessarily a friend, the user L1 can be notified of the detection of the child user of the user L1.

<Fifth Embodiment>
FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram of the fifth embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, when the parent user and the child user are out together (that is, the parent user's terminal 200 and the child user's transmission device 400 are separated from the position of the communication device 300), the child user is the parent user. This is a form in which a notification is made to the parent user and the child user when the user has left. As shown in FIG. 14, there are a plurality of parent users and child users, and each is associated with each other as shown in the user information table 151. It is assumed that at least one other information processing terminal 400B is associated with the child user as the transmission device 400. First, as shown in FIG. 14A, a parent user and a child user are present together in a predetermined area T40. Here, the area T40 is a range in which the parent user's terminal 200 can detect a radio signal transmitted from the transmission device 400. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14B, it is assumed that the transmission device 400 does not exist in any of the areas T40 of the respective terminals 200 of the parent user.

  First, the receiving unit 213 of the parent user's terminal 200 transmits a predetermined radio signal including identification information of the communication device 300 transmitted from the communication device 300 and a transmission device 400 transmitted from the child user's transmission device 400. A predetermined wireless signal including the identification information is received. Thereafter, the determination unit 215 of the terminal 200 determines whether a predetermined wireless signal including the identification information of the communication device 300 has been received for a first predetermined time or more. This can be realized by storing the time when the wireless signal from the communication device 300 is received in the storage device 280 and determining whether or not the first predetermined time or more has elapsed since the latest reception time. If it has not been received for the first predetermined time or more, the determination unit 215 receives the second predetermined time from the latest time when the predetermined radio signal including the identification information of the transmission device 400 transmitted from the child user's transmission device 400 is received. Determine whether the time has passed. The first predetermined time and the second predetermined time may be the same or different. When it is desired to immediately detect that the child user has left, it is preferable that the second predetermined time is short.

  When the second predetermined time has elapsed, a notification request to the child user is transmitted from the transmission unit 214 of the terminal 200 to the server 100. Here, the “notification request” is information for requesting that some notification information be output from the terminal 400B of the child user. In response to the notification request, the transmission unit 114 of the server 100 transmits, to the terminal 400, output information that causes the child user's terminal 400 to output notification information regarding the information processing terminal 200 of the parent user.

  FIG. 15 is an example of notification information displayed on the display device 440 of the child user terminal 400. As shown in the figure, the notification information may be a message M40 displayed on the message screen. The notification information may be a message that prompts a phone call to the parent user as shown in the figure, or a message that indicates a waiting place. Further, for example, notification information by a message “a child user has left” may be output to the terminal 200 of the parent user.

<Effect of Fifth Embodiment>
According to the fifth embodiment, when the child user is separated from the parent user, the notification to the child user is made. Therefore, the safety of the asylum can be ensured.

<Modification>
When a plurality of parent users are associated with child users, the transmission unit 114 of the server 100 transmits output information for outputting notification information when receiving notification requests from all of the terminals 200 of the parent user. . Thereby, the notification to the child user's terminal is performed only when all the parent user's terminals are separated from the child user, and unnecessary notification can be prevented.

<Sixth Embodiment>
It is conceivable that the transmitting device 400A and the other terminal 400B may be in a non-wearing state when the child user is connected to the charger. In the sixth embodiment of the present invention, such a case can be prevented. First, when the remaining battery level of the transmission apparatus 400 falls below a predetermined threshold, the transmission apparatus 400 includes information on the remaining battery level in a radio signal to be transmitted, and generates a predetermined warning sound from the transmission apparatus 400. Information indicating that the battery level of the own device is low is transmitted to the communication device 300, the terminal 200, and the user. Alternatively, the communication device 300 or the terminal 200 may determine the remaining battery level according to the strength of the radio signal transmitted from the transmission device 400. The communication apparatus 300 outputs audio information (for example, a message “please charge”) indicating that the remaining battery level of the transmission apparatus 400 is low from the speaker 360. As a result, it is possible to prompt charging before the battery of the transmitting device 400 runs out.

  In addition, when the transmission device 400 is charged or the battery is replaced, the communication device 300 completes the charging, and voice information (for example, “charging is complete. Please carry it "or" Battery has been replaced, please install it "message). In addition, the communication device 300 receives a wireless signal regardless of the time when the wireless signal from the transmission device 400 does not change after normal charging or when the communication device 300 normally goes out (for example, school time). When a state such as “continuing” is detected, voice information indicating that the transmission device 400 is left unattended (for example, a message such as “Did you forget the transmission device?”) Can be output. In this case, a text message indicating that the transmission device 400 has been left may be transmitted to the parent user's terminal 200. Note that the transmitting device 400 can be easily discovered by the communication device 300, the parent user's terminal 200, and the user by generating a warning sound from the transmitting device 400 and increasing the strength of the radio signal. As a result, it is possible to prevent the child user from forgetting to wear and affecting the monitoring of the child user.

  Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various changes 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 disclosure. By way of example and not limitation, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so that there is no logical contradiction, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. Is possible. Moreover, it is good also as combining suitably the structure shown to each embodiment.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the entry of the communication device 300 into the area is detected, but the parent user's terminal 200 may be notified when the communication apparatus 300 leaves the area.

  Further, in the first embodiment, a mode has been described in which predetermined audio information is output when audio from a child user is input from the microphone 350. However, the audio information may not be output after the audio from the child user is input. In addition, a call may be made to the terminal 200 of the parent user L1 via the communication device 300 in order to enable a call with the terminal 200 of the parent user L1.

  Further, in the fifth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15B, when the child user's transmission device is separated from any parent user's terminal, the other terminal 400B of the child user is transmitted. You may make it operate | move as a detection side of the apparatus 400B. This is effective when there are a plurality of child users, a transmission device 400A is assigned to a certain child user, and another terminal 400B is assigned to at least one child user.

  In the fifth embodiment, when the state shown in FIG. 15B is reached, the parent user's terminal 200 may be controlled to widen the detection range of the radio signal. Conversely, control may be performed so as to increase the strength of the radio signal transmitted from the transmission device 400 of the child user.

  Note that the place where the communication device 300 is installed is not limited to the home, but may be a learning cram school, a classroom in a school, a play facility, or the like.
