  In addition, the mobile phone device 10 includes a GPS communication unit 58 connected to the GPS antenna 56. In the GPS communication unit 58, the radio wave (GPS data) related to the current position information captured by the GPS antenna 56 is converted into an electrical signal and output to the control circuit 36. In the control circuit 36, current position information of the mobile phone device 10 is calculated based on the GPS data. Note that the current position information of the mobile phone device 10 output to the control circuit 36 is stored in the RAM 40.

  A control circuit (control unit) 36 is connected to each of the communication unit 12, the baseband unit 14, the switching circuit 22, and the GPS communication unit 58. Switching by the switching circuit 22 described above is performed under the control of the control circuit 36.

  Next, the operation of the cellular phone device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the apparatus of this embodiment.

  The operation of the apparatus of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. First, in step S1, if the control circuit 36 determines that the * key 49 of the numeric keypad 48 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S2.

  In step S <b> 2, the control circuit 36 sounds a predetermined warning sound (for example, a sound of “boo” or a sound of “help someone”) from the second speaker (hereinafter referred to as a buzzer) 34. The warning sound is generated at a loud volume of, for example, 80 decibels to 100 decibels.

  In the subsequent step S3, the control circuit 36 controls the GPS communication unit 58 to receive GPS information, calculate the current position, store the calculated current position in the RAM 40, and advance the process to step S4.

  In step S4, the control circuit 36 controls the communication unit 12 to attach the location information stored in the RAM 40 to an e-mail and transmit it to a predetermined destination (for example, parents, police, etc.) stored in the RAM 40. Let At this time, an e-mail may be sent simultaneously to a plurality of destinations such as the police and parents, or may be sent to one destination.

  As described above, in steps S1 to S4, when the user presses the * key 49, the mobile phone device automatically calculates position information, and the calculated position information is automatically sent to a predetermined destination stored in the RAM 40 in advance. Sent to. For this reason, it is possible not only to automatically sound a warning sound from the buzzer 34 but also to notify the current location information to a predetermined destination only by the user performing a simple operation of pressing the * key 49. It is. In the present embodiment, the buzzer 34 sounds when the * key 49 is pressed. However, the buzzer 34 sounds when the call key 50 or the power key 64 is pressed. It is good also as a structure which 34 rings. Or it is good also as a structure which rings the buzzer 34, when pulling the strap of a mobile telephone or opening / closing a housing | casing.

  Next, in step S5, if the control circuit 36 determines that there is an incoming call, the process proceeds to step S8, and if not, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S5, the control circuit 36 receives the caller's telephone number data via the communication unit 12, and temporarily stores it in a buffer memory (not shown) installed in the control circuit 36. .

  In step S6, when it is determined that there is a ringing stop operation from the input unit 44, the control circuit 36 proceeds to step S7, and otherwise returns to step S5.

  In step S7, the control circuit 36 stops the sound of the warning sound from the buzzer 34, and returns the process to step S1.

  Note that the ringing stop operation in step S6 may be, for example, a long press of a power key or a key operation of a predetermined procedure, an input of a personal identification number, or a secondary battery mounted on a mobile phone device. It may be the timing of removal.

  In step S8, the control circuit 36 stores the telephone number of the other party that received the call in step S5 (more specifically, the telephone number stored in the buffer memory (not shown) in step S5) and the RAM 40. The stored telephone number is compared and if it is determined that they match, the process proceeds to step S10, and if not, the process proceeds to step S9.

  In step S9, the control circuit 36 prohibits ringing of the ring tone and maintains ringing of the warning sound from the buzzer 34, and proceeds to step S5. In step S9, the communication unit 12 receives the incoming signal, but the display 42 does not indicate that the incoming call is received, and even if the call key 50 is pressed, it cannot respond to this incoming call. It has become. This is to give the highest priority to incoming calls from important destinations such as parents and the police during an emergency situation where the buzzer 34 is ringing.

  In step S9, as soon as there is an incoming call to the called party, a predetermined message (for example, “An emergency has occurred. It is also possible to use a configuration in which the transmission is not possible "), or a configuration in which the line is disconnected immediately when an incoming call is received, and the incoming call is rejected. Further, the predetermined message may be automatically sent from the carrier server to the calling party, and the incoming call signal from the base station is not transmitted from the base station to the mobile phone device for incoming calls other than the predetermined destination. As such, it may be configured to be controlled on the telecommunications carrier side. In this case, the data of a predetermined destination stored in the RAM 40 is stored in the server of the communication carrier.

  In step S10, the control circuit 36 stops the sound of the warning sound from the buzzer 34, and sounds the ringtone instead. At this time, the ringing tone ringed from the buzzer 34 is forcibly ringed at a large ringing volume (for example, maximum volume) regardless of the volume setting of the ringing tone. At this time, even if the cellular phone device is in the manner mode, or is set to turn off the ringtone, the so-called radio wave off mode is a mode used where radio waves cannot be transmitted / received such as hospitals. Even in the setting, it may be forced to ring at a high incoming volume (for example, maximum volume). That is, regardless of the setting of the mobile phone, it is possible to forcibly increase the ringtone volume.

  At this time, the volume of the ringtone may be output at the same volume as the volume of the warning sound generated in step S2.

  In the subsequent step S11, if the control circuit 36 determines that an off-hook operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S13, and if not, the process proceeds to step S12.

  The off-hook operation (operation for connecting a line) may be a predetermined key operation, or may be configured to go off-hook when the casing is opened and closed.

  In step S12, when the control circuit 36 detects a signal indicating that the incoming signal has stopped arriving from the communication unit 12, the control circuit 36 determines that the incoming call has ended, and proceeds to step S15. Otherwise, the control circuit 36 proceeds to step S10. Return processing to.

  In step S13, the control circuit 36 controls the communication unit 12 and the baseband unit 14 to start a call, and proceeds to step S14.

  In step S14, when the control circuit 36 detects a signal indicating that the arrival of the incoming signal has stopped from the communication unit 12 or determines that there is an operation for terminating the call, the control circuit 36 proceeds to step S15, and if not, , The process returns to step S13. Note that the call termination operation may be a predetermined key operation or an opening / closing operation of the housing.

  In step S15, the control circuit 36 controls the buzzer 34 to restart the sounding of the warning sound and returns the process to step S5.

  Note that if there is an off-hook operation in step S11, a call is started in step S13. However, if there is an off-hook operation, the voice reception is automatically activated, and the user can talk without having to bring the mobile phone device close to the face. It is good also as a structure which enables it. In this case, the sound from the calling side is output from the buzzer 34, and the sound uttered by the user of the mobile phone device is input from the microphone 30. By adopting such a configuration, even when the user is in contact with a criminal and has a mobile phone device and cannot make a call, the user cannot easily make a call with the calling party, and is in a voice receiving state. It is possible to let the criminals hear the voice from the side (for example, the police are now heading to the crime scene) and give up the crime execution.

  Further, a configuration may be adopted in which the voice receiving state is automatically set when the number of ringing sounds reaches a predetermined number or when a predetermined time elapses after the incoming call. For example, when the user is in a situation where the user is in contact with a criminal and cannot operate the mobile phone device, the user is automatically in a loud voice reception state, and the calling party is notified of the current situation, This is because the caller can confirm that the mobile phone user is in a critical situation and the current state. The conversation at this time may be automatically recorded, that is, the conversation may be automatically recorded after off-hook. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to use it as a document when the police search for the situation after the crime.

  In this embodiment, when a user performs a predetermined operation, a warning sound is automatically output from the buzzer 34 and current position information is calculated, and the calculated current position information is automatically attached to an e-mail and registered in advance. The function to intimidate the criminal by sounding the security buzzer with one key operation and the function to report the current position to a predetermined destination can be automatically executed. Crime avoidance and criminal arrest can be made more reliable.

  Also, when a warning sound is being output, if there is an incoming call, it is output at the maximum volume, so it is easy to receive an incoming call from an emergency partner when the user is in a critical situation Not only can it be recognized, it is possible to inform the surroundings that the user is in a critical situation even if there is an incoming call.
