(Operation example of the embodiment)
Next, an example of the operation of this embodiment will be described. In the following description, the telephone number given to the user of the mobile terminal 10 and the user ID and password for authenticating the user who owns the terminal device 10 are stored in the storage unit 202 in advance. And

First, the user who has purchased the mobile terminal 10 inserts the SIM 109 into the slot 106 of the mobile terminal 10. By inserting the SIM 109 in the slot 106, the mobile terminal 10 can perform communication via the mobile communication network. The user enables the remote initialization function in case the mobile terminal 10 is stolen. Specifically, the user performs an operation for instructing the execution of the initialization application on the touch panel 103. The control unit 101 executes the initialization application stored in the storage unit 102 when an operation to instruct execution of the initialization application is performed on the touch panel 103. The initialization application becomes resident when instructed to execute it. The initialization application is automatically executed when the power is turned on after the resident application is turned on.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing performed by the control unit 101 when the initialization application is executed. When executing the initialization application, the control unit 101 determines whether the IMSI is stored in the storage unit 102 (step SA1). When the IMSI is not stored in the storage unit 102 (NO in step SA1), the control unit 101 determines that the initialization application is executed for the first time and the remote initialization function is not set. When the control unit 101 determines that the remote initialization function has not been set, the control unit 101 acquires the IMSI stored in the SIM 109 and stores the acquired IMSI in the storage unit 102 (step SA2). Further, the control unit 101 sets the remote initialization function to be valid, and stores the state data indicating that the remote initialization function is valid in the storage unit 102 (step SA3).

FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing a flow of processing performed when the user loses the mobile terminal 10. When the user loses the mobile terminal 10, the user initializes the mobile terminal 10 in order to prevent others from obtaining the address book, photos, etc. stored in the mobile terminal 10. Specifically, the user operates the PC 30 to access the server device 20 with the Web browser executed on the PC 30 (step SB1). When the server device 20 is accessed from the PC 30, the server device 20 transmits the data of the Web page for authenticating the user to the PC 30 (step SB2). This Web page has a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for inputting a user ID and password, and a GUI for transmitting the input user ID and password to the server device 20. The PC 30 displays the web page represented by the data transmitted from the server device 20 (step SB3). The user inputs his/her user ID and password in the displayed Web page and performs an operation of transmitting the input user ID and password. When the operation of transmitting the user ID and the password is performed, the control unit 101 transmits the user ID and the password input on the web page to the server device 20 (step SB4).

The server device 20 acquires the user ID and password transmitted from the PC 30. The server device 20 performs the user authentication process by collating the acquired set of user ID and password with the set of user ID and password stored in the storage unit 202 (step SB5). When the set of the acquired user ID and password is stored in the storage unit 202, the server device 20 determines that the user of the PC 30 is a user who is permitted to use the server device 20. When the user of the PC 30 is the user who is permitted to use the server device 20, the server device 20 transmits the data of the Web page having the GUI for initializing the mobile terminal 10 to the PC 30 (step SB6). ..

The PC 30 displays the web page represented by the data transmitted from the server device 20 (step SB7). This Web page has a GUI for a button "Initialize" and a GUI for a button "Do Not Initialize". When the user performs the operation of clicking the “Initialize” button displayed on this Web page, the PC 30 transmits a message instructing execution of the initialization to the server device 20 (step SB8). When the server device 20 receives the message instructing to execute the initialization, the server device 20 acquires from the storage unit 202 the telephone number stored in association with the received user ID and password of the user of the PC 30. Upon acquiring the telephone number, the server device 20 transmits an initialization message instructing initialization by SMS (Short Message Service) to the acquired telephone number as a destination (step SB9). This initialization message is a control type message and is a message for remotely controlling the mobile terminal 10.

In the lost mobile terminal 10, if the SIM 109 is not replaced, the mobile terminal 10 receives the initialization message transmitted by the server device 20. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing performed by the control unit 101 when receiving the initialization message. Upon receiving the initialization message, the control unit 101 determines whether the remote initialization function is valid (step SC1). When the remote initialization function is valid (YES in step SC1), the control unit 101 performs initialization processing of the mobile terminal 10 (step SC2). Note that the control unit 101, which has acquired the initialization message, carries the mobile phone when the IMSI stored in the SIM 109 and the IMSI stored in the storage unit 102 are the same and the remote initialization function is enabled. The terminal 10 may be initialized.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 10 can prepare for initialization only by starting the initialization application. At the time of initialization, the server device 20 authenticates the user. Then, the mobile terminal 10 can be initialized only by operating the Web page.

Next, an operation example when the SIM 109 is replaced after the remote initialization function is enabled by the original user of the mobile terminal 10 will be described. When replacing the SIM 109, the SIM 109 is replaced with the mobile terminal 10 powered off. When the power of the mobile terminal 10 is turned on after the SIM 109 is replaced, the control unit 101 executes the initialization application and performs the process of step SA1. When the initialization application is executed and the IMSI is stored in the storage unit 102 before the SIM 109 is replaced (YES in step SA1), the control unit 101 acquires the state data stored in the storage unit 102 (YES). Step SA4). The control unit 101 determines whether the acquired state data represents that the remote initialization function is valid (step SA5). When the status data acquired that the remote initialization function is effective indicates (YES in step SA5), the control unit 101 stores the IMSI stored in the SIM 109 mounted in the slot 106 and the storage unit 102. It is determined whether the IMSIs stored in the same are the same (step SA6). When the SIM 109 is replaced, the IMSI stored in the SIM 109 and the IMSI stored in the storage unit 102 are different (NO in step SA6), so the control unit 101 sets the remote initialization function to be invalid, State data indicating that the remote initialization function is invalid is stored in the storage unit 102 (step SA7).

For example, when the mobile terminal 10 is stolen and the theft person replaces the SIM 109 to use the mobile terminal 10, the remote initialization function of the mobile terminal 10 becomes invalid when the power is turned on as described above. In this case, even if the thief accesses the server device 20 and the initialization message is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 in which the SIM 109 of the thief is installed, the remote initialization function is disabled in the mobile terminal 10. Therefore, the mobile terminal 10 is not initialized. Since the mobile terminal 10 is not initialized, the screen is locked when the power is turned on or when returning from the sleep state, and the person who cannot know the personal identification number, that is, the original mobile terminal 10 A person who is not the owner cannot unlock the screen and cannot use the mobile terminal 10. A person who steals the mobile terminal 10 cannot initialize the mobile terminal 10 or unlock the screen, and thus cannot illegally use the terminal. In addition, since the mobile terminal 10 cannot be initialized or the screen cannot be unlocked, resale becomes difficult, and resale becomes difficult.

Next, an operation example when the user of the mobile terminal 10 owns a plurality of SIMs 109 and replaces the SIMs 109 will be described. When the power of the mobile terminal 10 is turned on after the SIM 109 is replaced, the control unit 101 executes the initialization application and performs the process of step SA1. When the initialization application is executed and the IMSI is stored in the storage unit 102 before the SIM 109 is replaced (YES in step SA1), the control unit 101 acquires the state data stored in the storage unit 102 (YES). Step SA4). The control unit 101 determines whether the acquired state data represents that the remote initialization function is valid (step SA5). When the status data acquired that the remote initialization function is effective indicates (YES in step SA5), the control unit 101 stores the IMSI stored in the SIM 109 mounted in the slot 106 and the storage unit 102. It is determined whether the IMSIs stored in the same are the same (step SA6). When the IMSI stored in SIM 109 and the IMSI stored in storage unit 102 are different (NO in step SA6), control unit 101 sets the remote initialization function to be invalid, and the remote initialization function is invalid. The state data indicating that there is is stored in the storage unit 102 (step SA7).

The user who has replaced the SIM 109 inputs a preset personal identification number on the touch panel 103 in order to unlock the screen. When the input personal identification number and the personal identification number stored in the storage unit 102 are the same, the control unit 101 executing the initialization application performs the processing shown in FIG. 9. First, the control unit 101 acquires the IMSI stored in the SIM 109 attached to the slot 106, and updates the IMSI stored in the storage unit 102 with the acquired IMSI (step SD1). Further, the control unit 101 sets the remote initialization function to be valid, and stores the state data indicating that the remote initialization function is valid in the storage unit 102 (step SD2). Then, the control unit 101 unlocks the screen and displays the home screen. When the screen is unlocked, the user can use the mobile terminal 10 and can perform voice communication with the telephone number stored in the SIM 109.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the user who can unlock the screen, that is, the original user of the mobile terminal 10 operates the mobile terminal 10, even if the SIM 109 is replaced, the remote initialization function is disabled. Instead, the mobile terminal 10 can be initialized from the PC 30.

[Modification]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be implemented in various other modes. For example, the present invention may be implemented by modifying the above-described embodiment as follows. The above-described embodiment and the following modified examples may be combined with each other.

In the present invention, the remote initialization function may be set valid/invalid according to the position information obtained by the positioning unit 108 performing positioning. For example, in the terminal device 10, the storage unit 102 stores the home of the user or the position where the user normally moves. In the control unit 101, the remote initialization function is effectively set, and the position represented by the position information obtained by the positioning unit 109 is within a predetermined range from the position represented by the position information stored in the storage unit 102. If it is, the remote initialization function is enabled. Further, in the control unit 101, the remote initialization function is effectively set, and the position information obtained by the positioning unit 109 is represented within a predetermined range from the position represented by the position information stored in the storage unit 102. If no position is entered, the remote initialization function is disabled.

According to this modification, since the mobile terminal 10 that has been stolen and the SIM 109 has been replaced does not perform initialization in a place other than the place where the original user of the mobile terminal 10 moves, a person who stole the mobile terminal 10 cannot Therefore, the mobile terminal 10 cannot be initialized, and the use of the mobile terminal 10 by anyone other than the original owner can be prevented. In this modification, it may be possible to determine whether the position of the mobile terminal 10 is a predetermined position after the screen is unlocked.

In the present invention, the IMSI of the SIM 109 and the contractor information (for example, name) for identifying the contractor of the SIM 109 are stored in the server device 20 in association with each other, and the terminal device 10 identifies the person who can use the terminal device 10. The user information (for example, name) to be used may be stored in the storage unit 102. In this modification, for example, when the power is turned on, the control unit 101 transmits the IMSI stored in the mounted SIM 109 to the server device 20. The server device 20 transmits the contractor information stored in association with the transmitted IMSI to the terminal device 10. When the user information stored in the storage unit 102 contains user information that matches the contractor information transmitted from the server device 20, the control unit 101 validates the remote initialization function and matches the user information. If there is no information, the remote initialization function is disabled.

According to this modification, a person other than the original user of the mobile terminal 10 cannot initialize the mobile terminal 10 that has been stolen and the SIM 109 has been replaced. Therefore, the mobile terminal 10 cannot be initialized, and the use of the mobile terminal 10 by anyone other than the original owner can be prevented.

In the present invention, the remote initialization function may be enabled/disabled according to whether or not the mobile terminal 10 is located within the communication area of the access point of the wireless LAN accessible by the mobile terminal 10. .. For example, in the mobile terminal 10, the storage unit 102 stores the identifier of the access point installed in the user's home, workplace, or place where the mobile terminal 10 is accessible. Examples of the access point identifier include BSSID, ESSID, and SSID. The control unit 101 enables the remote initialization function when the remote initialization function is enabled and the identifier of the accessible access point is the same as the identifier of the access point stored in the storage unit 102. And In addition, the control unit 101 has the remote initialization function enabled, and when the identifier of the accessible access point is different from the identifier of the access point stored in the storage unit 102, or the accessible access is possible. If there are no points, the remote initialization function is invalid. According to this modification, since the mobile terminal 10 that has been stolen and the SIM 109 has been replaced is not initialized in a place other than the communication area of the specific access point, the person who stole the mobile terminal 10 cannot Cannot be initialized, and the use of the mobile terminal 10 by anyone other than the original owner can be prevented.

In the present invention, the mobile terminal 10 may set the validity/invalidity of the remote initialization function according to the connection with the communicable external device. For example, the control unit 101 has the remote initialization function enabled, detects the external device that has been paired with Bluetooth in advance, and enables the remote initialization function when connected to the detected external device. Also, the control unit 101 disables the remote initialization function when the remote initialization function is set to be valid and the external device pre-paired with Bluetooth cannot be detected. According to this modification, since the mobile terminal 10 that has been stolen and the SIM 109 has been replaced does not perform initialization if it cannot connect to the external device owned by the original user, the person who stole the mobile terminal 10 must: Since the mobile terminal 10 cannot be initialized, it is possible to prevent the mobile terminal 10 from being used by anyone other than the original owner.

In the present invention, the characteristics of the user's operation performed on the mobile terminal 10 may be specified, and the remote initialization function may be enabled/disabled according to the specified characteristics. In the present modification, when the user performs an operation of instructing the execution of the same application program in the same time zone, the control unit 101 operates the time zone and the program name of the application program executed in this time zone by the user's operation. Is stored in the storage unit 102. For example, when the user performs an operation of executing the weather forecast application program at 7 o'clock in the morning on a plurality of days, the storage unit 102 stores the time zone of 7 o'clock and the program name of the weather forecast application program. To memorize.

After the characteristics of the user's operation are stored in the storage unit 102, the control unit 101 unlocks the screen and executes the weather forecast application program at 7 o'clock in the morning. Since the characteristics and the operation performed on the mobile terminal 10 match, the remote initialization function is enabled. Further, when the screen is unlocked and the weather forecast application program is not executed at 7 o'clock in the morning, the control unit 101 matches the stored operation features with the operation performed on the mobile terminal 10. Therefore, the remote initialization function is disabled. According to this modification, since the mobile terminal 10 that has been stolen and the SIM 109 has been replaced does not perform initialization unless the operation performed by the original user is performed, the person who steals the mobile terminal 10 can use the mobile terminal 10. The terminal 10 cannot be initialized, and the use of the mobile terminal 10 by anyone other than the original owner can be prevented.

In the present invention, the remote initialization function may be set to be valid/invalid according to whether or not the setting of the terminal device 10 has been changed. For example, the control unit 101 unlocks the screen, has the remote initialization function enabled, and sets any of communication settings, screen settings, call settings, sound and notification settings, and the like. Until the changing operation is performed, the remote initialization function is valid. Further, the control unit 101 has the screen unlocked and the remote initialization function enabled, and is set to any setting such as communication setting, screen setting, call setting, sound and notification setting. When the operation to change is performed, the remote initialization function is invalidated.
