The position information is transmitted to the position registration management device 5 via 4B.

  For example, when the location information of the second mobile device 2B is received from the communication-regulated base station 4A, the location registration management apparatus 5 registers the location information of the second mobile device 2B, and via the communication-regulated base station 4A. A location registration response is notified to the second mobile device 2B. Thereafter, the location registration management device 5 notifies the status management device 6 of the location information of the second mobile device 2B.

  The location information of the second mobile device 2B is notified from the communication restriction base station 4A, and indicates that it exists in the communication restriction area A1. When the terminal state registration unit 61 of the state management device 6 receives the position information of the second mobile device 2B, the data indicating that the second mobile device 2B exists in the communication restriction area A1, that is, the communication restriction state. Data indicating the presence is stored in the terminal state storage unit 62.

When the terminal state registration unit 61 of the state management device 6 receives the position information of the third mobile device 2C, the data indicating that the third mobile device 2C exists in the communication non-restricted area A2, that is, communication non-restricted Data indicating a state (not a communication restriction state) is stored in the terminal state storage unit 62. The terminal state registration unit 61 notifies the location registration management device 5 of a location registration response when performing communication non-regulatory registration related to the third mobile device 2C. Note that the terminal state registration unit 61 may store only data indicating the communication restriction state or only data indicating the communication non-restriction state in the terminal state storage unit 62.

  Next, operation processing when there is a communication request from the first mobile device 2A will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the communication control device 3A when there is a communication request from the first mobile device 2A. FIG. 12 shows an operation sequence in the communication system 1A when there is a communication request from the first mobile device 2A to the second mobile device 2B, and the code number input value from the first mobile device 2A is the restriction unlock code. It is a sequence chart which shows the case where it does not correspond to a number. FIG. 13 shows an operation sequence in the communication system T when there is a communication request from the first mobile station 2A to the second mobile station 2B, and the code number input value from the first mobile station 2A is the restriction release password. It is a sequence chart which shows the case where it corresponds to a number.

  As shown in FIG. 11, for example, when the communication control device 3A receives a communication request from the first mobile device 2A to the second mobile device 2B (step S1), it makes an inquiry to the location registration management device 5. Then, it is determined whether there is a second mobile station 2B on the receiving side under the radio base station (step S2). If the communication control device 3A determines that there is no incoming second mobile device 2B under the control of the radio base station, the communication control device 3A transmits an incoming call failure notification to the first mobile device 2A that is the outgoing communication terminal (step In step S8, the operation process ends.

  In step S2, the transmission / reception control unit 31 of the communication control device 3A inquires of the state management device 6 whether the incoming call is acceptable or not when it is determined that the second mobile station 2B on the incoming side exists under the radio base station. (See FIG. 12). The communication availability determination unit 63 of the state management device 6 refers to the terminal state storage unit 62 in response to an inquiry from the communication control device 3A, and determines whether or not it is in a communication restriction state based on the position information of the second mobile device 2B. to decide. Then, the communication availability determination unit 63 notifies the communication control device 3A of the determination result (the reception availability determination result), for example, the reception failure. The transmission / reception control unit 31 of the communication control device 3A determines whether or not the second mobile device 2B exists in the communication restricted area A1, based on the result of the incoming / outgoing admission determination (ie, in a communication restricted state) (step S3). ). Step S3 corresponds to a state determination step.

  If it is determined in step S3 that the communication is restricted, communication control corresponding to the communication request from the first mobile device 2A is stopped and a communication restriction notification is issued (step S4). It waits until it receives a PIN code input value from one mobile device 2B (step S5). In step 4, when the communication control according to the communication request is stopped, auxiliary communication control is performed although it does not respond to the communication request such as guidance to the answering machine center, guidance during regulation or incoming call notification. You may make it do.

  In the communication restriction notification, the transmission / reception control unit 31 sends a communication restriction response (see FIG. 12) to the first mobile device 2A, and further sends a communication restriction guidance transmission request to the sound source storage device 7. Upon receiving the guidance transmission request from the communication control device 3A, the sound source storage device 7 notifies the communication control device 3A of a communication restriction guidance transmission response, and sends the communication restriction guidance data to the first mobile device 2A on the transmission side. Notice. In addition to the content that the second mobile device 2B cannot communicate because the second mobile device 2B exists in the communication restricted area A1, the communication restricted communication guidance data includes content that prompts the user to enter a password in an emergency. It is out. The communication restriction guidance data corresponds to input guidance information.

  When the first mobile device 2A receives the password input operation by the user via the operation input receiving unit 23 after outputting the communication restriction guidance by voice, the first mobile device 2A notifies the sound source storage device 7 of the password input value. To do. When receiving the password input value from the first mobile device 2A, the sound source storage device 7 notifies the communication control device 3A of the password input value. When receiving the password input value from the first mobile device 2A, the transmission / reception controller 31 of the communication control device 3A notifies the password verification unit 33 of the password input value (step S5). Steps S4 and S5 correspond to a password information acquisition step. Note that the communication control device 3 </ b> A does not receive the personal identification number input value and terminates without performing subsequent processing when a predetermined time (about several minutes at the maximum) has elapsed.

  Next, the personal identification number collation unit 33 obtains the regulation cancellation code number “4321” (see FIG. 3) of the second mobile device 2B stored in the regulation cancellation code number storage unit 32. Further, the personal identification number collating unit 33 collates the personal identification number input value with the restriction cancellation personal identification number “4321” (step S6). If the password verification unit 33 determines that the password input value and the restriction unlock password do not match, the transmission / reception controller 31 notifies the first mobile device 2A on the caller side that the incoming call cannot be received. First, a transmission request for connection impossible guidance (see FIG. 12) is sent to the sound source storage device 7 (step S8). When receiving the connection impossible guidance transmission request, the sound source storage device 7 sends a connection impossible guidance transmission response to the communication control device 3A, and transmits connection impossible guidance data to the first mobile device 2A.

  When it is determined in step S6 that the password from the first mobile device 2A matches the restriction unlock code, the transmission / reception control unit 31 executes an emergency connection process (step S9). When performing an emergency connection, the transmission / reception control unit 31 transmits the first mobile device 2A on the transmission side and the second mobile device on the reception side so that communication according to the communication request from the first mobile device 2A is possible. 2B is connected. Step S9 corresponds to an emergency communication step.

  Note that the third mobile device 2C exists in the communication non-restricted area A2. Therefore, when there is a communication request from the first mobile device 2A on the transmission side to the third mobile device 2C on the reception side, the communication availability determination unit 63 of the state management device 6 is not in the communication restricted state. The communication control apparatus 3A is notified of the determination result (incoming / outgoing determination result), for example, reception possibility. The transmission / reception control unit 31 of the communication control device 3A determines that the third mobile device 2C is not in a communication restriction state based on the incoming call permission / inhibition determination result (step S3), and executes processing for normal connection (step S7). ). When performing normal connection, the first mobile device 2A on the transmission side and the third mobile device 2C on the incoming side are connected so that communication according to the communication request from the first mobile device 2A is possible.

  According to the communication system 1A, the communication control device 3A, and the communication method described above, for example, when the second mobile device 2B on the incoming side exists in the communication restriction area A1, the communication control device 3A The communication control according to the communication request from the first mobile device 2A is stopped. Therefore, it is possible to reliably execute communication restriction in the communication restriction area A1. Further, the communication control device 3A collates the password input value received from the first mobile device 2A on the caller side with the deregistration password stored in the deregulation password storage unit 32, and if the two match, Only the specific communication control according to the communication request is executed. As a result, it is possible to reliably execute communication restriction in the communication restriction area A1 and to cope with an emergency. In particular, in the specific communication control, the first mobile device 2A on the transmission side and the second mobile device 2B on the reception side are communicably connected, so that the user of the second mobile device 2B can meet the requirements of an emergency. The user of the first mobile device 2A that has contacted can quickly transmit the urgent requirement to the user of the second mobile device 2B.

  Furthermore, when the communication control device 3A stops the communication control according to the communication request, the communication control device 3A transmits the communication restriction guidance data including the input guidance of the password to the first mobile device 2A on the transmission side, and waits. When the password input value from the first mobile device 2A is received, the password input value is compared with the restriction release password. As a result, it is possible to prompt the user of the first mobile device 2A to input a personal identification number, and it is possible to collate the input personal identification number input value with the deregulation personal identification number.

  As illustrated in FIG. 17, the communication control device 3B executes the processing of step S11 to step S18 in the same manner as the processing of step S1 to step S8 executed by the communication control device 3A according to the first embodiment. On the other hand, the communication control device 3B, unlike the process of step S9 executed by the communication control device 3A, executes a process of making an emergency connection to the area manager (step S19). Hereinafter, the description will be focused on differences from the communication method executed by the communication control device 3A according to the first embodiment.

  The communication control device 3A waits until it receives a personal identification number from the first mobile device 2B after performing the communication restriction notification. After the first mobile device 2A outputs voice guidance for notifying that communication is being restricted, when the operation input receiving unit 23 receives a password input operation by the user, the password input value is input to the sound source storage device 7. Notice. When receiving the password input value from the first mobile device 2A, the sound source storage device 7 notifies the communication control device 3A of the password input value.

  When the personal identification number collating unit 33 of the communication control device 3A receives the personal identification number input value via the sound source storage device 7 (step S15), it collates the personal identification number input value with the restriction release personal identification number (step S16). If it is determined by the password verification unit 33 that the password input value matches the restriction unlock password, the transmission / reception controller 31 performs a process for emergency connection to the area manager (step) S19). When an emergency connection is made to the area manager, the transmission / reception control unit 31 specifies the communication restriction area A1 where the second mobile device 2A on the receiving side exists. Furthermore, the transmission / reception control unit 31 refers to the administrator information storage unit 34 and acquires identification information, for example, a telephone number, of the communication terminal 2D for the manager corresponding to the communication restriction area A1 where the second mobile device 2A exists. To do. Furthermore, the transmission / reception control unit 31 connects the first mobile station 2A on the transmission side and the communication terminal 2D for the manager so that they can communicate with each other.

  According to the communication system 1B, the communication control device 3B, and the communication method according to the present embodiment, the administrator of the communication restriction area A1 is contacted instead of the user of the second mobile device 2B on the incoming side. It becomes possible to communicate the urgent requirements to the user of the second mobile device 2B via the administrator.

  In addition, this invention is not limited only to said embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the communication terminal on the incoming side enters the communication restriction area is exemplified, but it can also be applied when the communication terminal on the outgoing side makes a communication request from within the communication restriction area. In that case, the communication control may be stopped or specific communication control may be executed in response to the communication request.

  Further, the personal identification information transmitted for canceling the communication restriction from the communication terminal on the calling side is not limited to the personal identification number composed of one or a plurality of numbers, and may be a combination of kana, romaji and other symbols. Also, a communication request is made with a prefix (a special number at the beginning of the phone number) added as personal identification information. If the prefix matches the predetermined communication restriction release information, specific communication control is performed according to the communication request, Biometric authentication may be performed at the communication terminal on the side, biometric authentication information may be transmitted together with the communication request, and specific communication control may be performed when the biometric authentication information matches the communication restriction release information. In addition, after accepting the input guidance information of the password information from the communication control device, the communication terminal on the transmission side transmits the password information by DTMF operation or performs biometric authentication and transmits the biometric information as the password information. Or you may.

  The communication request transmitted from the communication terminal on the calling side may be a voice call or packet call communication request. The communication terminal on the calling side is not limited to a mobile device, and may be a communication terminal such as a fixed telephone, a facsimile, or a videophone.
