And a data storage device 12 for storing various data.

  The data processing device 6 includes a communication control unit 7 that controls the communication device 3 that transmits and receives voice and data, a ringing control unit 8 that controls the ringing device 4 such as a speaker and a vibrator, and power supplies for each unit of the mobile phone. It has a power control unit 9 for controlling, and a power OFF notification timer 10 for notifying the power control unit after a set time has elapsed.

  The data storage device 12 has a power-off position information storage area 13 for storing position information of the mobile phone measured when the power is turned off.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 2 shows an operation when the mobile phone is turned off.

  When the user performs a power-off operation, the data processing device 6 selects whether or not to perform a power-off notification for notifying the user that the power of the mobile phone is turned off. Is displayed on the output device 2 to prompt the user to input from the input device 1 (step A11).

  When the user selects to perform power-off notification, the GPS device 5 measures the current position of the mobile phone and stores this position information in the power-off position information storage area 13 (step A12).

  After storing the position information, the data processing device 6 sets the power-off notification timer 10 (step A13) and turns off the power of the mobile phone (A14).

  FIG. 3 shows an operation when a power-off notification is performed.

  When the time set in the power-off notification timer 10 has elapsed (Yes in step A21), the power-off notification timer 10 sends a notification notifying that the set time has elapsed (step A22).

  When the power supply control unit 9 receives the notification, the power supply control unit 9 turns on the power supply in the places other than the communication device 3. At this time, the power supply of the communication device 3 that transmits radio waves that may affect medical devices or the like remains off (step A23).

  After executing the process of turning on the power described above, the data processing device 6 compares the current position (step A24) measured by the GPS device 5 with the position information stored in the position information storage area 13 when the power is turned off. (Step A25). If the current position and the stored position are separated by a predetermined distance or more as a result of comparing the position information, the data processing device 6 is prohibited from using the cellular phone by the influence of radio waves. The sounding device 4 is controlled to perform sounding for notifying that the power remains off (step A26).

  If the current position and the stored position are equal to or less than a predetermined distance (No in step A25), the data processing device 6 determines that the mobile phone is not moved from a place where use of the mobile phone is prohibited. However, notification of power OFF such as ringing is not performed.

  The data processing device 6 compares the current position with the stored position (comparison of whether or not the mobile phone has moved), makes a ringing as necessary, and then restarts the power OFF notification timer 10 again. The power is turned off (operation from step A21 to step A27) (step A28).

  Here, by setting the power-off timer 10 again, the power remains off at regular intervals until the user turns on the power after moving a predetermined distance from the place where the user turned off the power. Can be notified.

  FIG. 4 shows the flow after the power is turned off.

  From the time when the power is turned off until the time X which is the set time of the power off notification timer 10 elapses, only the power off notification timer 10 operates.

  After the elapse of X time, when the GPS device 5 acquires the current position information and has not moved more than a preset distance from the position where the power is turned off, the data processing device 6 sets the power-off notification timer 10 again. Then, the mobile phones other than the power-off notification timer are turned off.

  If the mobile phone has moved beyond a preset distance after the lapse of X hours, the data processing device 6 causes the sounding device 4 to make a ringing sound indicating that the power supply is turned off, and then notifies the power supply OFF again. The timer 10 is set and the power of the mobile phone other than the power OFF notification timer is turned off.

  The above operation is continued until the user turns on the mobile phone.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
