Since the voice synthesizing means responds to the mobile terminal by voice and confirms the operation of the position information detecting means and the wireless communication means, the test can be performed after the use of the terminal is started.

(Second Embodiment) A second embodiment of the present invention is an image in which position information received from a mobile terminal and transmission point information registered in advance at a center are plotted on the same map. Information is sent back to the mobile terminal by facsimile or data communication, and after recording the audio information received from the mobile terminal for a certain period of time, the recorded audio information is sent back to the mobile terminal, and the recorded audio information is sent to the mobile terminal together with the recorded audio information. This is a mobile terminal operation test method in which voice information of a constant volume is also sent from the center side to confirm the operation.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the mobile terminal operation test method according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, a map image FAX transmission function 17 is a device that transmits a map image by FAX. Latitude and longitude map search function 18
This is a device that searches a map based on latitude and longitude. The map database 19 is a database that stores map information. FAX 20 is a normal FAX machine.

A mobile terminal operation test method according to the second embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described. The mobile terminal 1 sets the diagnostic mode. Press the test button 8.
The location information and the terminal ID are transmitted. The center receives the position information and the terminal ID. The member is confirmed by the terminal ID. Search the corresponding map by latitude and longitude. Display latitude and longitude on the map. Send the map information to the FAX.

Image information in which the position information received from the mobile terminal 1 and the transmission point information registered in the center in advance are plotted on the same map is sent back to the mobile terminal 1 by facsimile or data communication. The operation of at least the position information detecting means 2 and the wireless communication means 3 is confirmed.

As described above, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal operation test method uses the location information received from the mobile terminal and the transmission point information registered in advance at the center on the same map. The image information plotted in is sent back to the mobile terminal by facsimile or data communication, and after recording the voice information received from the mobile terminal for a certain period of time, the recorded voice information is sent back to the mobile terminal and sent to the mobile terminal. Since the center is configured to send the audio information of a constant volume together with the recorded audio information to check the operation, the image and the audio can be tested.

(Third Embodiment) In a third embodiment of the present invention, the test position information and the terminal I
D, after transmitting center-related information such as member information and telephone number as a test call, the center side transmits the registered terminal I
D. Check whether the information matches with the member information or center related information, and send back the result of registration possible / impossible as data communication and voice information. This is a mobile terminal operation test method in which a call permission / prohibition mode is set and the user is notified by voice, thereby automatically performing a member verification at the time of membership cancellation and a series of procedures of the center / mobile terminal.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart at the time of member registration of the mobile terminal operation test method according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
10 is a flowchart at the time of membership cancellation of the mobile terminal operation test method according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

A description will be given of a mobile terminal operation test method according to the third embodiment of the present invention configured as described above. As shown in FIG. 4, as registration confirmation at the time of enrollment, in addition to information indicating the intention to register from the mobile terminal, test location information and terminal I
D, transmitting center related information such as member information and telephone number as a test call; On the center side, the registered terminal I
D. Check whether the information matches with the member information or the center related information, and send back the result of registration possible / impossible as data communication and voice information. The mobile terminal 1 activates the registration completion procedure, sets a mode for permitting calls to the center when the status changes, and notifies the user by voice to check the membership at the time of joining and to check the center / Automatically perform a series of procedures for mobile terminals.

As shown in FIG. 5, in order to confirm the cancellation at the time of unsubscription, similarly to the operation test, in addition to the information indicating the intention to cancel from the mobile terminal 1, the location information for testing, the terminal ID, the member information and the telephone Transmits center-related information such as numbers. The center side checks whether the registered terminal ID matches the registered member ID or the center-related information. If the registered terminal ID is registered, the content is deleted from the database, and the completion of the cancellation is returned as voice information. For the mobile terminal 1,
In addition to starting the cancellation completion procedure, the system is set to a mode in which calling to the center is prohibited when the status changes, and the user is notified by voice, so that the member verification upon cancellation and a series of procedures for the center / mobile terminal are automatically performed. Do it.

When the dues are delinquent, the center temporarily deletes the membership database. After the delinquency, the call at the time of the first state change is accepted by the center, and unavoidable normal handling is required. However, due to the delinquency, a warning will be issued not to be accepted from the next time, and this will be deleted from the member database.

It is also possible to notify the user by superimposing the registration enable / disable result on the image information from the center. The mobile terminal 1 receives the response signal from the center,
The information is displayed on the display 6 of the mobile terminal 1.

In addition, a communication procedure at the time of an operation test in which only the setting of the operation test flag is changed is used for the normal communication procedure from the mobile terminal 1 to the center.

The information service center includes an operation check terminal that automatically executes an operation check test when receiving an operation test communication procedure from the mobile terminal 1.

As described above, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal operation test method is performed by using the test location information, the terminal ID, the center-related information such as the member information and the telephone number at the time of joining or leaving. After transmitting as a test call, the center side checks whether it matches the registered terminal ID, member information or center related information, and sends back the result of registration possible / impossible as data communication and voice information. The mobile terminal is set to a mode for permitting / prohibiting calls to the center when the status changes, and by notifying the user by voice, the member verification at the time of canceling the membership and a series of operations of the center / mobile terminal are performed. Because the procedure is set up automatically, you can use the test procedure to process membership and cancellation.
