(First embodiment)
The first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
This embodiment exemplifies a case where the present invention is applied to a mobile phone as a mobile terminal device, and FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing basic components of the mobile phone.
The cellular phone is a folding type cellular phone in which two casings (an operation unit casing and a display unit casing) are foldably attached, and has a voice call function, an e-mail function, an Internet connection function (Web access function), and the like. In addition, it has a non-contact IC card function. As described above, the non-contact IC card function mounted on the mobile phone constitutes a regular ticket function used when entering and leaving a transportation facility, an electronic payment function used when shopping, and the like. Therefore, predetermined processing (periodic ticket processing, electronic payment processing, etc.) is executed with a non-contact IC compatible external device (reader / writer device: not shown) by short-range communication.

  The control unit 1 operates by supplying power from the power supply unit 2 including a secondary battery, and controls the overall operation of the mobile phone according to various programs in the storage unit 3. Are provided with a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory. The storage unit 3 is an internal memory such as a ROM or a RAM, and has a program area and a data area, and the present embodiment is realized in this program area in accordance with operation procedures shown in FIGS. A program is stored for this purpose. The data area of the storage unit 3 temporarily stores flag information (standby flag F1, restriction flag F2, function flag F3, etc.), timer information, and various information necessary for the operation of the mobile phone. An operation table T1 and a position table T2, which will be described later, are stored.

  Although not shown, the operation unit 4 includes various keys such as a cross key (decision key and cursor key), numeric keys / character keys, and a key for instructing the use of a non-contact IC card function. The controller 1 performs input, command input, and the like, and the controller 1 performs various processes such as a transmission process as a process corresponding to the key operation signal from the key input unit 4. The display unit 5 uses, for example, a high-definition liquid crystal or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and displays, for example, a standby image, an icon, date and time information, text data, mail, a web page, and the like. Although the display unit 5 is a display unit provided in a mobile phone, it may be any external display device such as an external monitor.

  The wireless communication unit 6 includes a wireless unit, a baseband unit, a demultiplexing unit, and the like. When the call function is activated, a signal is taken in from the receiving side of the baseband unit, demodulated into a received baseband signal, and output to the control unit 1, the control unit 1 receives the call speaker SP via the telephone unit 7. Output audio. When the input voice data from the call microphone MC is supplied from the telephone unit 7 via the control unit 1, the wireless communication unit 6 encodes the transmission baseband signal and then transmits it to the transmission side of the baseband unit. To transmit from the antenna AT1.

  The non-contact communication unit 8 is a non-contact IC chip and is a constituent element of the above-described non-contact IC card function. Although not shown, it is transmitted from an external device (automatic ticket gate, electronic payment machine, etc.) compatible with non-contact IC. By receiving the received radio wave via the antenna AT2, data is transmitted / received to / from this external device using the electromotive force induced by electromagnetic waves as the operating power. The control unit 1 executes a regular ticket process, an electronic payment process, and the like with the external device via the non-contact communication unit 8. In this case, in a state where the use of the non-contact IC card function is restricted, the restriction can be lifted by inputting the user's password and will be described in detail later. In the embodiment, further, a non-contact IC card function according to a combination of a swing operation (motion) of how the mobile phone is shaken and a moving environment (current position) that changes according to the movement of the mobile phone The usage restriction of is canceled.

  The position detector 9 has a GPS receiver (Global Positioning System), receives a GPS signal from the antenna AT3 using a GPS satellite (not shown) and a ground station, and based on this GPS signal, The position (longitude / latitude information) is detected, and the control unit 1 acquires the current position information from the position detection unit 9 as a moving environment that changes according to the movement of the mobile phone. The motion detection unit 10 detects a swing operation (motion) of the mobile phone as a predetermined operation, and has, for example, a three-axis type acceleration sensor (three-axis direction vibration sensor). This acceleration sensor detects acceleration components in three axial directions (X, Y, and Z directions) orthogonal to each other. Based on each acceleration component, the motion detection unit 10 detects the direction in which the mobile phone is swung. Or the magnitude of acceleration (vibration) corresponding to the swing operation of the mobile phone is detected. Here, the control unit 1 determines that the swing operation has been performed when the swing magnitude is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

  Based on the detection results of the position detection unit 9 and the operation detection unit 10, the control unit 1 temporarily cancels the use restriction of the non-contact IC card function. That is, the control unit 1 determines whether or not the swing operation (motion) detected by the motion detection unit 10 is a predetermined operation (for example, a swing operation that draws a circle or a square), and the predetermined operation If so, it is determined whether or not the current position detected by the position detection unit 9 is a predetermined position (for example, a ticket gate position or a store position of a transportation station), and a predetermined operation is performed. When it is detected that the user is in a predetermined position within a predetermined time, the restriction on the non-contact IC card function is temporarily released.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the standby flag F1, the restriction flag F2, and the function flag F3.
The standby flag F1 is set until a current position coincides with a predetermined position after a predetermined swing operation (motion) is performed (until a position where the restriction of the non-contact IC card function can be temporarily released) is reached. ) Is a flag indicating whether or not a waiting state. As shown in FIG. 2 (1), if the value of the standby flag F1 is “0”, it indicates a state where the restriction cannot be released (a state that is not a standby state). This shows a state (standby state) where the restriction can be removed.

  The restriction flag F2 is a flag indicating whether or not the restriction of the non-contact IC card function is released (restricted). When the value is “0” as shown in FIG. In this case, the state is not limited (a state where the restriction is released), and “1” indicates the state is restricted (a state where the restriction is not released). The function flag F3 indicates whether the non-contact IC card function is used as a regular ticket function or a function other than the regular ticket function (such as an electronic payment function), as shown in FIG. 2 (3). When the value is “0”, it indicates that the function is used as a function other than the regular ticket function, and when the value is “1”, the function flag F3 indicates that the function is used as a regular ticket function. Can be set arbitrarily.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the operation table T1 and the position table T2.
The motion table T1 is referred to when determining whether or not the swing operation (motion) detected by the motion detection unit 10 is a predetermined motion. As illustrated in FIG. ”And“ function flag ”. “Operation” indicates a predetermined operation, and in the example shown in the figure, “a swing operation that draws a circle while pressing a side key” and “a swing operation that draws a square while pressing a side key” are stored. . The side key is a push button type key disposed on the side of the mobile phone. The “function flag” indicates whether the non-contact IC card function is used as a regular ticket function or a function other than the regular ticket function (such as an electronic payment function), and is the function flag F3 described above. . In the example shown in the figure, “swing motion that draws a circle” is associated with a function that is used as a function other than the regular ticket function, and “swing motion that draws a square” is used as a regular ticket function. It is associated. The contents of the operation table T1 can be set arbitrarily.

  The position table T2 is referred to when determining whether or not the current position detected by the position detector 9 is a predetermined position. As shown in FIG. It has a configuration having a “registered position”. “Registered position” indicates a predetermined position (longitude and latitude information). In the example shown in the figure, “Registered position” corresponding to “Function flag” “1” indicates “Entry ticket gate” at the ticket gate of a transportation station. "Position" and "Exit ticket gate position" are stored, and "Other positions (store positions, etc.)" are stored as "Registered positions" corresponding to "Function flag" of "0".

  Next, the operation concept of the mobile phone in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. Further, it is possible to sequentially execute the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via a transmission medium such as a network. The same applies to other embodiments described later. In addition to the recording medium, an operation peculiar to the present embodiment can be executed using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

4 to 6 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the mobile phone (characteristic operation of the present embodiment) that is started when the power is turned on.
First, the control unit 1 executes initialization processing according to the power-on operation, sets the standby flag F1 and the limit flag F2 to “0” (step A1 in FIG. 4), and then waits for display of a standby image. A state is reached (step A2). Now, when an incoming call is detected (YES in step A3), a call process for making a call possible is started by a response operation (off-hook operation) for this incoming call (YES in step A4) (step A5). After that, when an on-hook operation is performed (YES in step A6), the end of the call is terminated by disconnecting the line connection (step A7), and then the process returns to step A3 described above.

  On the other hand, when the motion detection unit 10 detects a swing operation (motion) of the mobile phone (YES in step A8), the operation table T1 is referred to (step A9), and the current swing operation is stored in the operation table T1. It is checked whether the operation is a stored motion (predetermined swing operation corresponding to the table) (step A10). If the motion is not stored in the motion table T1 (NO in step A10), the current swing operation is ignored. Therefore, the process returns to step A3.

  If the current swing operation is an operation (predetermined swing operation) stored in the operation table T1 (YES in step A10), the function flag F3 corresponding to the operation is read (step A11). For example, if the current swing operation (motion) is “a swing motion that draws a circle while pressing a side key”, “0” is read as the function flag F3, and a swing that draws a square while pressing a side key is performed. If “operation”, “1” is read as the function flag F3. Next, the standby flag F1 is set to “1” in order to indicate a standby state from when a predetermined swing operation (motion) is performed until reaching a predetermined position (registered position) (step A12). The first timer measurement operation is started in order to detect whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the predetermined swing operation (motion) was performed (step A13).

  Then, in addition to activating the position detection unit 9 to make the current position detectable (step A14), the current position is acquired from the position detection unit 9, and a tracking management server (not shown) that is a predetermined notification destination ) Is started (step A15), and then the process returns to step A3. The tracking management server collects and manages the current location of the mobile phone of the user who has been registered in advance as a response to the loss of the mobile phone, in response to an inquiry from the user, A service is provided for transmitting the current location of the mobile phone to the inquired user. In this way, an operation of transmitting the current position of the mobile phone to the tracking management server in response to a predetermined swing operation is started. Hereinafter, the operation of transmitting the current position of the mobile phone to a predetermined notification destination (tracking management server) is performed at a predetermined timing (from a predetermined swing operation until the position detection unit 9 is stopped). For example, it is repeatedly executed every 10 seconds).

  When the standby flag F1 becomes “1” by performing the predetermined swing operation (motion) in this way, this is detected in step A18 of FIG. 5 (YES in step A18), and the next step A19 is performed. Then, it is checked whether a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the first timer measurement operation, that is, whether a time-out has occurred. Here, the predetermined time is a time arbitrarily set in advance by a user operation in consideration of the time required from the home to the nearest station, for example, when going to work or going to school. This is the approximate time from when the swing operation (motion) is performed until the arrival at the nearest station.

  The predetermined time at the time of shopping is a time arbitrarily set in advance by a user operation in consideration of the time required from the home to the nearest supermarket, and a predetermined swing operation (motion) is performed at home. It is the approximate time from shopping to accounting in the nearest supermarket. The predetermined time varies depending on whether the non-contact IC card function is used as a regular ticket function or a function other than the regular ticket function (such as an electronic payment function). For example, 15 minutes is 30 minutes when used as a function other than the regular ticket function (such as an electronic payment function).

  Here, before the predetermined time has elapsed (NO in step A19), the current position is acquired from the position detector 9 (step A20), the position table T2 is referred to (step A21), and the function flag F3 is “ Whether the current position matches the “registered position” by comparing the “registered position” corresponding to “0” or “1” with the current position, for example, whether it has arrived at the entrance ticket gate position or store position of the nearest station (Step A22). If it has not arrived at the “registered position”, that is, if a mismatch between both positions is detected (NO in step A22), the process returns to step A3 in FIG. When a position match is detected (YES in step A22), after the restriction flag F2 is set to “0” in order to cancel the use restriction of the non-contact IC card function (step A23), the non-contact IC card function is used forever. In order to prevent a possible state, the second timer that measures the time until it is used is started (step A24).

  Then, in order to end the standby state, the standby flag F1 is set to “0” (step A25), and after the first timer measurement operation is stopped (step A26), the limit flag F2 is set to “0” and the function flag F3. Is "1" (step A27). Now, when the restriction flag F2 is “0” and the function flag F3 is “0”, that is, “the swinging motion of drawing a circle while pressing the side key” is performed, so that the non-contact IC card function Is designated to be used for purposes other than the regular ticket function (NO in step A27), after that, after the position detector 9 is stopped in order not to require the current position (step A28), Returning to step A3 of FIG. The operation of transmitting the current position of the mobile phone to a predetermined notification destination (tracking management server) is also stopped according to the stop of the position detection unit 9. In addition, when the function flag F3 is “1” (YES in step A27), that is, “the swinging motion of drawing a square while pressing the side key” is performed, and the non-contact IC card function is periodically boarded. If it is specified that the ticket function is used (YES in step A27), the process returns to step A3 in FIG.

  Further, after a predetermined swing operation (motion) is performed, that is, when a predetermined time has elapsed after the first timer measurement operation is started (YES in step A19), the same as described above Then, after setting the standby flag F1 to “0” (step A25), the first timer measurement operation is stopped (step A26). If the limit flag F2 = “0” and the function flag F3 = “1” (YES in step A27), the process directly returns to step A3 in FIG. 4, but the limit flag F2 = “0” and the function flag F3 = “ If it is not 1 ″ (NO in step A27), the operation of the position detector 9 is stopped (step A28), and the process returns to step A3 in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the standby flag F1 is “0” (NO in step A18 in FIG. 5), it is checked whether or not a use operation of the non-contact IC card function has been performed (step A29), and the use operation is performed. If not (NO in step A29), the process returns to step A3 in FIG. Now, when an operation (other operation) other than the use operation of the non-contact IC card function is performed (YES in step A16 in FIG. 4), for example, after performing a calling process as a process corresponding to the operation (Step A17), the process returns to Step A3 in FIG. When the use operation of the non-contact IC card function is performed (YES in step A29 in FIG. 5), it is checked whether the restriction flag F2 is “0” (step A30). Here, when the restriction flag F2 is “1” (NO in step A30), an error message indicating that the non-contact IC card function cannot be used due to restriction is displayed (step A31), and then FIG. Return to step A3. When the limit flag F2 is “0” (YES in step A30), it is checked whether the function flag is “0” (step A32).

  If the function flag is “0”, that is, if it is used as a function (such as electronic payment processing) other than the regular ticket processing (YES in step A32), the process proceeds to the next step A33, where the user moves the cellular phone. Is held over an external device (such as an electronic payment machine), that is, whether the use of the non-contact IC card function is detected by receiving a signal from the external device (step A33). (NO in step A33), it is checked whether a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) has elapsed from the start of the second timer measurement operation (step A34).

  Here, when the use of the non-contact IC card function is detected within a predetermined time after the restriction on the use of the non-contact IC card function is released (YES in step A33), the electronic settlement is performed as a process using the non-contact IC card function. The process is executed (step A35). Then, the limit flag F2 is set to “1” (step A36), the second timer measurement operation is stopped (step A37), and the process returns to step A3 in FIG. In addition, if the use of the non-contact IC card function is not detected even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the use restriction of the non-contact IC card function is released (YES in step A34), the non-contact IC card processing is not performed. In step A36, the limit flag F2 is set to “1” to limit the use of the non-contact IC card function, and then the second timer measurement operation is stopped (step A37).

  When the function flag is “1”, that is, when the function flag is used as a function of the regular ticket processing (NO in step A32), the process proceeds to step A38 in FIG. Whether the use of the non-contact IC card function is detected by receiving a signal from the entrance automatic ticket checker, and if the use is not detected (NO in step A38) It is checked whether a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes) has elapsed since the start of the second timer measurement operation (step A50). Here, when the use of the non-contact IC card function is not detected even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the use operation of the non-contact IC card function is performed (YES in step A50), the process proceeds to the next step A51, In order to limit the use of the non-contact IC card function, the restriction flag F2 is set to “1”. Then, the second timer measurement operation is stopped (step A52), and the operation of the position detector 9 is stopped (step A49), and then the process returns to step A3 in FIG. The operation of transmitting the current position of the mobile phone to a predetermined notification destination (tracking management server) is also stopped according to the stop of the position detection unit 9.

  Further, when the use of the non-contact IC card function is detected at the position of the entrance automatic ticket gate within a predetermined time after the use operation of the non-contact IC card function is performed (YES in step A38), the non-contact IC card function As a process that uses, the process proceeds to execution of a regular ticket process (entrance process) that permits admission (step A39). Then, the restriction flag F2 is set to “1” in order to restrict the use of the non-contact IC card function (step A40), and after the second timer measurement operation is stopped (step A41), the position detector 9 The position is acquired (step A42), the position table T2 is referred to (step A43), and the current position is determined by comparing the “registered position” corresponding to the function flag F3 “1” with the current position. ”, Or in this case, it is checked whether it has arrived at the position of the automatic ticket gate leaving (step A44).

If it is detected that the current position coincides with the “registered position” and arrives at the position of the automatic ticket gate that has left (YES in step A44), the restriction is made to release the use restriction of the non-contact IC card function The flag F2 is set to “0” (step A45). Then, the user checks whether the mobile phone is held over an external device (leaving automatic ticket gate), that is, whether the use of the non-contact IC card function is detected by receiving a signal from the leaving automatic ticket gate, The process waits until usage is detected (step A46).
Now, when the use of the contactless IC card function is detected by the automatic ticket gate (YES at step A46), the regular ticket that permits the exit and settles the fare as a process using the contactless IC card function Processing (exit processing) is executed (step A47). Then, in order to restrict the use of the non-contact IC card function, the restriction flag F2 is set to “1” (step A48), and after the operation of the position detection unit 9 is stopped (step A49), step A3 in FIG. 4 is performed. Return to.

  As described above, the mobile phone according to the first embodiment is limited in the use of installed functions when the mobile environment that changes according to the movement of the mobile phone after a predetermined operation is performed is a predetermined environment. Therefore, the restriction release by a third party on the installed function can be effectively prevented, the possibility of unauthorized use can be kept low, and the safety can be improved.

  When the current position as a moving environment that changes according to the movement of the mobile phone is a predetermined position, the restriction on the use of the built-in function is canceled depending on where the current position is. Can be prevented.

When the current position is the entrance position of the transportation facility (entrance ticket gate position) after the predetermined operation is performed, the control unit 1 cancels the restriction of the regular ticket function as an installed function, Restrict the use of the commuter pass function according to the use of the commuter pass function at the entrance position, and then restrict the use of the commuter pass function when the current position is the exit position of the transportation facility (exit ticket gate position). After the cancellation, the regular ticket function is restricted again depending on the use of the regular ticket function at the exit position of the transportation system, so the regular boarding every time you enter the transportation system or leave the transportation system The use of the ticket function can be restricted or canceled, and the safety of the regular ticket function can be further enhanced.
The ticket gates are not limited to train ticket gates, but may be non-contact IC card readers installed at bus entrances and exits.

  When the time from when a predetermined operation is performed until the predetermined environment is reached is within the predetermined time, the restriction of the installed function is canceled, and when the predetermined time is exceeded, the restriction of the installed function is continued. As a result, if the specified environment has not been reached after the specified operation has been performed, it is possible not to maintain the standby state where the restriction can be released forever, and to improve safety. Is possible.

  When the built-in function is used after the restriction of the built-in function is released, the built-in function is restricted again. It becomes possible to raise.

  When a predetermined operation is performed, the current mobile environment is notified to a predetermined notification destination (tracking management server). For example, when a mobile phone is lost, another terminal such as a personal computer is used. The location of the mobile phone can be known by making an inquiry to the notification destination.

  Of the multiple types of functions, the use function is selected and the usage restriction is released according to the type of the function that corresponds to the type of the function that is used. The restriction on the use of functions can be lifted. For example, when a swing operation that draws a circle is performed as a predetermined operation, the restriction of the non-contact IC card function other than the regular ticket function is released, and the swing operation that draws a square In the case of the non-contact IC card function, the restriction of the regular ticket function can be released.

  In the first embodiment described above, when the function is used after the restriction of the mounting function is released, the use of the mounting function is restricted again. However, after the restriction of the mounting function is released, When the current moving environment is not a predetermined environment (predetermined position), the function may be restricted again. Thus, it is possible to prevent the user from forgetting to apply the restriction again and to save the trouble of applying the restriction again.

In the first embodiment described above, the non-contact IC card function (periodic ticket function, electronic payment function) is exemplified as the mounting function. However, the non-contact IC card function includes, for example, a personal authentication function, an electronic ticket function, and the like. There may be.
In the above-described first embodiment, the non-contact IC card function is shown as the mounting function.

  In the first embodiment described above, when a predetermined swing operation (motion) is performed, the position detection unit 9 is activated to acquire the current position. However, the predetermined position is always acquired while acquiring the current position. You may make it monitor whether it reached | attained the position.

When the mobile phone is held over (omitted), the control unit 1 of the mobile phone detects entry / exit to a predetermined facility by communicating between the external device and the non-contact communication unit 8.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the standby flag F1 and the restriction flag F2 in the second embodiment.
The standby flag F1 is a flag indicating whether or not a standby state from when a predetermined swinging operation (motion) is performed until a predetermined environment is entered (entering a predetermined facility). In the second embodiment, , It indicates whether or not it is in a standby state in which the use restriction of the address book function can be canceled when entering a predetermined facility. Here, as shown in FIG. 8 (1), if the value of the standby flag F1 is “0”, it indicates a state where the restriction cannot be removed (a state that is not in the standby state), and if it is “1”. The state (standby state) in which the restriction can be removed is shown. The restriction flag F2 is a flag indicating whether or not the restriction of the address book function is released (not restricted). When the value is “0” as shown in FIG. Indicates a released state (unrestricted state), and “1” indicates a restricted state (unreleased state).

FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the mobile phone that is started in response to power-on in the second embodiment.
First, similarly to the first embodiment described above, the control unit 1 executes an initialization process according to the power-on operation and sets the standby flag F1 and the limit flag F2 to “0” (step B1 in FIG. 9). ), A standby state such as displaying a standby image (step B2). If an incoming call is detected (YES in step B3), a call process for making a call ready is started by a response operation (off-hook operation) for this incoming call (YES in step B4) (step B5). Thereafter, when an on-hook operation is performed (YES in step B6), a call termination process is executed to disconnect the line connection and terminate the call (step B7), and then the process returns to step B3 described above.

  On the other hand, when the motion detection unit 10 detects a swing operation (motion) of the mobile phone (YES in step B8), it is checked whether the current swing operation is a predetermined swing operation (step B9). If it is not an operation (NO in step B9), the process returns to the above-described step B3 in order to ignore the current swing operation. If it is a predetermined swing operation (YES in step B9), the standby flag F1 is set to “1” in order to set the standby state after the swing operation is performed to the entrance (step B10). Then, after a timer measurement operation is started in order to detect whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the predetermined swing operation was performed (step B11), the process returns to the above-described step B3.

  When the standby flag F1 becomes “1” by performing the predetermined swing operation (motion) in this way, this is detected in step B14 of FIG. 10 (YES in step B14), and the next step B15 is performed. Then, it is checked whether a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the timer measurement operation. Here, the predetermined time is, for example, an approximate time from when a predetermined swing operation (motion) is performed near a predetermined facility to when the user enters the facility. If it is before this predetermined time has passed (NO in step B15), it is checked whether or not the entrance to the predetermined facility has been detected by communicating between the facility-side external device and the non-contact communication unit 8 (step S15). B16).

  If entry to the predetermined facility is not detected (NO in step B16), the process returns to step B3 in FIG. 9, but if entry to the predetermined facility is detected (YES in step B16), use restriction of the address book function is restricted. In order to cancel, the restriction flag F2 is set to “0” (step B17), and then the standby flag F1 is set to “0” to end the standby state (step B18). Then, after stopping the timer measurement operation (step B19), the process returns to step B3 in FIG. Also, when a predetermined time elapses after a predetermined swing operation (motion) is performed (after the timer measurement operation is started) (YES in step B15), standby is performed in the same manner as described above. The flag F1 is set to “0” (step B18), the timer measurement operation is stopped (step B19), and the process returns to step B3 in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the standby flag F1 is “0” (NO in step B14 in FIG. 10), it is checked whether or not an operation for using the address book function has been performed (step B20). (NO in step B20), the process returns to step B3 in FIG. 9, but when an operation other than the operation for using the address book function (other operation) is performed (YES in step B12 in FIG. 9), the operation corresponding to the operation is performed. As processing, for example, after performing transmission processing (step B13), the process returns to step B3. When an operation for using the address book function is performed (YES in step B20 in FIG. 10), it is checked whether the restriction flag F2 is “0” (step B21).

  Here, when the restriction flag F2 is “1” (NO in step B21), an error message indicating that the address book function cannot be used due to restriction of the address book function is displayed (step B22), and then the step of FIG. Returning to B3, if the restriction flag F2 is “0” (YES in step B21), the process proceeds to the execution of the address book function, and the address book is read and displayed (step B23). Thereafter, communication between the external device on the facility side and the non-contact communication unit 8 determines whether or not the exit from the predetermined facility has been detected, and waits until the exit is detected (step B24). If the exit from the predetermined facility is detected (YES in step B24), the restriction flag F2 is set to "1" (step B25), and the process returns to step B3 in FIG.

  As described above, in this second embodiment, when entering a predetermined facility as a moving environment that changes according to the movement of the mobile phone, the restriction on the installed function (address book function) is canceled. The restriction release by the third party of the function can be effectively prevented, the possibility of unauthorized use can be kept low, and the safety can be improved.

  When the time from when a predetermined operation is performed until the predetermined environment is reached is within the predetermined time, the restriction of the installed function is canceled, and when the predetermined time is exceeded, the restriction of the installed function is continued. As a result, if the specified environment has not been reached after the specified operation has been performed, it is possible not to maintain the standby state where the restriction can be released forever, and to improve safety. Is possible.

  When the current mobile environment is not the predetermined environment (predetermined facility) after the restriction of the installed function is released, the function is restricted again, so that it can be prevented to forget to apply the restriction again and the restriction is restricted again. You can save time and effort.

  In the second embodiment described above, the use restriction of the address book function is released as the installed function, but it may be a schedule function, a data file browsing function, etc. You may make it restrict | limit use of the function selected from inside. In this case, a predetermined operation associated with each of a plurality of types of mounted functions, for example, among “a swinging motion for drawing a square” and “a swinging motion for drawing a circle” as in the first embodiment. Depending on which type of mounted function corresponding to the predetermined operation has been performed, the mounted function may be selected and its use restriction may be released. As described above, if the predetermined operation is made different according to the installed function, the desired function can be selected and the use restriction can be released only by performing the predetermined operation.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, as a predetermined operation, the operation of shaking the mobile phone is detected by the acceleration sensor. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a finger or the like is approached by an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like. May be detected. For example, the number of times of approach per unit time, the approaching time, etc. are detected as the user's motion, or the movement of the user's finger is detected as the motion by analyzing the image taken by the imaging device You may do it.
