Description

  The present invention relates to a portable terminal using GPS (Global Positioning System), a method of operating the portable terminal, and a program.

  2. Description of the Related Art There is known a technique for distributing an electronic mail in which an advertisement of a store located in the vicinity of a mobile terminal is distributed to the mobile terminal based on positioning information obtained by measuring the current position of the mobile terminal using GPS.

  However, in the above-described conventional technology, when a user of a mobile terminal receives an e-mail on which an advertisement of a nearby store is posted on the job, the advertisement may have contents that are completely uninteresting for the user. . Conversely, when the electronic mail is received on a holiday, the advertisement may be beneficial to the user. As described above, in the service using GPS, when the service is performed considering whether the user of the mobile terminal is a work day or a holiday, a service useful for the user may be provided.

  In order to determine whether the user of the mobile terminal is a work day or a holiday, a technique for determining the action base (home, work, etc.) of the user of the mobile terminal is important. With regard to this technology, the current position of the mobile terminal is measured using GPS, and the number of positioning times and the staying time for each mesh created by dividing the map based on the current position and positioning time of the mobile terminal thus positioned. A conventional technique is known in which mesh data is recorded with parameters of positioning accuracy and positioning accuracy, and a mobile terminal user's action base (home, workplace, etc.) is determined using at least one of the above parameters. (Patent Document 1).

JP 2013-235349 (published on November 21, 2013)

  However, the prior art described in Patent Document 1 has the following problems. In other words, when the workplace and home are close to each other, the user of the mobile terminal can be determined only by using the parameters of the number of times of positioning, the staying time, and the positioning accuracy because of the resolution of the current position of the mobile terminal that has been positioned. It is difficult to improve the accuracy of the determination regarding the action base. For this reason, there exists a problem that there exists a possibility of determining incorrectly whether a portable terminal exists in a home or a workplace.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a pattern in which the positional relationship between the home H of the user of the portable terminal and the workplace J becomes a problem. The home region HR is set in a circular shape with the point of the home H as the center. The workplace area JR is set in a circular shape centered on the location of the workplace J. The home region HR is set to a region within a range of 100 m from the point of the home H because the GPS positioning resolution for measuring the current position of the mobile terminal is rough. The workplace area JR is set to an area within a range of 500 m from the location of the workplace J in consideration of the case where the factory J is included in the workplace J. The home H is close to the workplace J and is included in the range of the workplace area JR. A part of the home area HR overlaps a part of the work area JR.

  As a result of positioning the current position of the mobile terminal using GPS, the first positioning position F1 at the first time is in the home area HR and in the work area JR, and the second position at the second time. When the positioning position S1 is outside the home area HR and within the work area JR, it can be identified that the mobile terminal has left the home H. However, although the mobile terminal can identify being at the workplace J, there is a problem that it cannot be identified that the mobile terminal has entered the workplace J. Further, the first positioning position F2 at the first time is in the workplace area JR and outside the home area HR, and the second positioning position S2 at the second time is in the home area HR and the workplace When it is in the area JR, it can be identified that the mobile terminal has entered the home H. However, there is a problem that the mobile terminal cannot identify that it has left the workplace J.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining another pattern in which the positional relationship between the home H and the workplace J of the user of the mobile terminal becomes a problem. The home H is closer to the workplace J, and the entire home area HR overlaps the workplace area JR.

  As a result of positioning the current position of the mobile terminal using GPS, the first positioning position F3 at the first time is in the home area HR and in the work area JR, and the second position at the second time. If the positioning position S3 is also in the home area HR and the work area JR, it can be identified that the mobile terminal is in the work area JR, but the mobile terminal has left the home H Cannot be identified, and it is not possible to identify that they have entered workplace J. Moreover, although it can identify that a portable terminal exists in the home area | region HR, it cannot identify that the portable terminal left the workplace J, and cannot identify that it entered the home H. There is a problem.

  The mobile terminal notifies the user of various information as appropriate by voice, display, or the like. At this time, as described above, if the mobile terminal cannot correctly identify whether the place where the user is located is home H or workplace J, for example, the mobile terminal located at workplace J provides information on play to the user. There is a problem that the mobile terminal may notify the user of inappropriate information in relation to the location where the user is located, such as notification.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal capable of notifying a user of appropriate information according to the first place or the second place where the user is located even if the first place and the second place are close to each other, An object is to provide a method of operating a portable terminal and a program.
