Here, when the mobile terminal 10 and the communication terminal 150 are communicably connected via the public line network 3, the outgoing call may be made not via the telephone line network 4 but via the public line network 3. .

  Next, when the mobile terminal 10 detects the incoming call and obtains the telephone number of the call originator, it checks with the location information transmission permission list stored in the storage unit to determine whether transmission of the location information is permitted. Confirm (step S02).

  If the caller's telephone number is included in the location information transmission permission list, the current location of the terminal is acquired from the GPS 5 (step S03).

  Finally, when the portable terminal 10 responds to the first incoming call, it notifies the position information by voice (step S04).

  If it is inconvenient to perform such a function every time an incoming call is received, it can be performed after a certain period of time from the incoming call, or by pressing a specific numeric key in the voice menu after the incoming call. It may be allowed to demonstrate its function. In the latter case, the caller may be further authenticated by inputting a password by pressing a numeric key or the like. The above is the outline of the position information notification system 1.

[Description of each function]
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the functional blocks of the mobile terminal 10 and the communication terminal 150 and the relationship between the functions.

  The portable terminal 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like as the control unit 11. A compatible device or a wireless device compliant with the IMT-2000 standard, such as a third generation mobile communication system, and a GPS device are provided, and the mobile terminal 10 has, as an input / output unit, data and images controlled by a control unit, An output unit for outputting and displaying sound and an input unit such as a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, etc. for receiving input from the user are provided. And

  In addition, the mobile terminal 10 includes a data storage unit using a hard disk or a semiconductor memory as the storage unit 13. The storage unit 13 stores a movement history list 24 and a position information transmission permission list 25.

  In the portable terminal 10, the current position acquisition module 14, the incoming call detection module 15, the telephone number acquisition module 16, and the message reception detection module are cooperated with the communication / input / output unit 12 by the control unit 11 reading a predetermined program. 17. A mail address acquisition module 18 and a current position notification module 19 are realized. In the mobile terminal 10, the control unit 11 reads a predetermined program, thereby realizing the telephone number authentication module 20, the mail address authentication module 21, and the movement history storage module 22 in cooperation with the storage unit 13.

  Similarly, the communication terminal 150 includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like as the control unit 151, and includes, for example, a WiFi compatible device compliant with IEEE 802.11 (may be wired) as the communication unit. In addition, the communication terminal 150 includes an output unit that outputs and displays data, images, and sound controlled by the control unit as an input / output unit, and an input unit such as a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, and a microphone that receives input from the user.

  When the control unit 151 of the communication terminal 150 reads a predetermined program, the call transmission module 153 and the message transmission module 154 are realized in cooperation with the communication / input / output unit 152.

[Location information processing]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of position information notification processing executed by the mobile terminal 10 and the communication terminal 150. The processing performed by the module of each device described above will be described together with this processing.

  First, the call transmission module 153 of the communication terminal 150 transmits a call to the mobile terminal 10 (step S11).

  Next, when the incoming call detection module 15 of the mobile terminal 10 detects an incoming call from the communication terminal 150 (step S12), the telephone number acquisition module 16 acquires the telephone number of the communication terminal 150 that is the transmission source (step S13). .

  Here, when the call is a voice chat or the like via a specific service or application that is transmitted through the public line network 5 instead of the telephone line network 4, an identifier such as an ID in the service is used instead of a telephone number. Get instead. In other words, an identifier for specifying a call originator may be used, and an identifier equivalent to a telephone number may be acquired.

  Next, the telephone number authentication module 20 collates the location information transmission permission list with the acquired telephone number of the transmission source, and determines whether or not the transmission source is included in the location information transmission permission list 25 (step S14). .

  FIG. 6 is an example of the position information transmission permission list 25 stored in the storage unit of the mobile terminal 10. A user name, a telephone number, and a mail address of a user who can transmit the position information are stored in association with each other.

  Here, as a result of the determination by the telephone number authentication module 20, if the caller's telephone number is not included in the position information transmission permission list 25 (step S15: “NO”), notification of the position information is made. This process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is included (step S15: "YES"), the following processing is subsequently performed to notify the position information.

  Next, the current position acquisition module 14 acquires the current position of the mobile terminal 10 using a position information acquisition function such as a GPS device (step S16).

  Subsequently, the movement history storage module 22 reads the last stored operation and position information from the movement history list 24 of the storage unit (step S17).

  FIG. 7 is an example of the movement history list 24 stored in the storage unit of the mobile terminal 10. When an operation is performed on the mobile terminal 10, the movement history storage module 22 stores the operation, the time when the operation was performed, and the position information at that time in the movement history list 24 in association with each other. By adding this information and transmitting it at the time of notification of the position information, it becomes possible to make use of it for collecting information when the information is lost or stolen. That is, in the case where the user is lost and operated by another person, the time and place of the operation can be notified. Here, the position information is stored as a combination of latitude and longitude, but may be an address or the like.

  Next, when the current position notification module 19 responds to a call from the communication terminal 150, the acquired current position information and movement history are transmitted by voice in the call (step S19). The communication terminal 150 can receive the position information by voice by receiving the call (step S20).

  FIG. 5 is an example of a screen of the mobile terminal 10 that is notifying the current position by voice. Along with the incoming telephone number 51, a user name 52 associated with the location information transmission permission list is displayed on the screen, and a message 53 indicating that the current location is being notified is displayed. Here, when notifying the user of the position information, it is difficult to understand with the expression by latitude and longitude, and therefore, it may be expressed by an address or facility name corresponding to the position information. The voice may be a voice message recorded in advance or a synthesized voice.

  By the way, although the case of making and receiving calls is taken as an example here, this processing is established as it is even if the call is replaced with message transmission / reception. That is, even if the incoming call detection module 15 is replaced with the message reception detection module 17, the telephone number acquisition module 16 is replaced with the mail address acquisition module 18, and the telephone number authentication module 20 is replaced with the mail address authentication module 21, the present invention is established. Has the effects and effects.

  For convenience, the destination of the message is expressed as a mail address. However, if the destination of the message can be identified, the message need not be an email, and may be SMS or chat. In particular, when the information of the message sender is available as a call destination as in SMS, the location information may be notified by replying the message, or the call is sent from here and notified by voice. May be.

  The above is the procedure of the position information notification process.

  The means and functions described above are realized by a computer (including a CPU, an information processing apparatus, and various terminals) reading and executing a predetermined program. The program is provided in a form recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a flexible disk, CD (CD-ROM, etc.), DVD (DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, etc.), for example. In this case, the computer reads the program from the recording medium, transfers it to the internal storage device or the external storage device, stores it, and executes it. The program may be recorded in advance in a storage device (recording medium) such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or a magneto-optical disk, and provided from the storage device to a computer via a communication line.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to these embodiment mentioned above. The effects described in the embodiments of the present invention are only the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are limited to those described in the embodiments of the present invention. is not.
