Thereafter, when using this wireless telephone, the user must first input the data into the data input means 4.
Enter the recitation number from . The data input from the data input means 4 is compared with the recitation number in the storage means 5 in the comparison means 3. This comparison result is transmitted to the control means 1, and if the two are equal, the control means 1 permits the use of the wireless means 2, and if they are not equal, the telephone number stored in the storage means 5 in advance is sent to the telephone number via the wireless means 2. The user makes a telephone call and outputs the alarm generated by the alarm generating means 6. As a result, if someone who does not know the code number tries to use this wireless telephone device, it is possible to automatically contact the owner's home or the police.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, the above-mentioned conventional radio telephone device has a problem in that although it can prevent unauthorized use, it does not have any measures against theft of the radio telephone itself.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wireless telephone device capable of reporting theft of the wireless telephone device.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a control means for controlling the entire device, and a radio means for transmitting and receiving radio signals between a wireless telephone line and a wireless telephone line controlled by the control means. a data input means for inputting data to the control means; a storage means capable of storing and reproducing data from the control section; and input from the input means and data stored in the storage means. a comparison means that outputs a matching signal when the two are equal; a movement detection means that issues a signal to the signal control means described later when detecting movement of the wireless telephone device; The apparatus includes a signal control means that is enabled by a match signal of the comparison means and disabled by a matching signal of the comparison means, and an alarm generation means that generates an alarm according to an instruction from the control means and outputs it to the wireless means.

[0008]

[Operation] According to the above-described structure, when the recitation number stored in advance in the storage means is input from the data input means, the signal control means invalidates the output of the movement detection means because the comparison results of the comparison means are equal. The device can be moved, but if the telephone radio device is moved without inputting the same data as the code number, the signal control means is validating the output of the movement detection means, so the movement detection means will not move relative to the control means. The control section outputs a signal indicating the occurrence of theft, and controls the alarm generation means and the wireless means to call a telephone number stored in advance in the storage means to notify the occurrence of theft.

[0009]

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a control means for controlling the entire device, 2 is a radio means for transmitting and receiving radio signals to and from a radio telephone line, and 4 is a data input means for inputting a code number (for example, (keyboard), 5 is a memory means for pre-memorizing a code number and a telephone number to be contacted in the event of theft; 3 is a memory means for storing the code number pre-stored in the memory means 5 and input data from the data input means 4; 6 is a comparison means for making a comparison; 6 is an alarm generation means for generating an alarm to the wireless means 2 under the control of the control means 1; 7 is a movement detection means for detecting movement of this wireless telephone device and outputting a detection signal to the signal control means 8. Means 8 is a signal control means for switching between valid and invalid detection signal output to the control unit 1 of the movement detecting means 7.

The operation of the radio telephone device having the above-mentioned components will be explained below with reference to the flowchart of the control means 1 in FIG. The storage means 5 stores in advance the code number and the telephone number to call in the event of theft. When the owner leaves the wireless telephone, he
to enter theft detection mode. The instruction may be given from the data input means 4. The control means 1 instructs the signal control means 8 to make the signal from the movement detection means 7 valid, and thereafter waits for a match signal of the recited number from the comparison means 3. When the owner uses the wireless telephone device, he first inputs the password number through the data input means 4. The comparison means 3 compares this input data with the recitation number stored in the storage means 5 in advance, and if they are equal, the control means 1 and the signal control means 8
Outputs the match number for. The signal control means 8 receives this matching signal and invalidates the signal from the movement detection means 7. The control means 1 returns to the normal operation mode upon receiving the match signal. Also, if a third party who does not know the code number tries to move the wireless telephone without being able to enter the correct code number, the comparison method 3
Since no match signal is outputted from , the movement detection number of the movement detection means 7 is input to the control means 1 in a valid state. When the control means 1 receives the movement detection signal, it calls a pre-stored telephone number from the storage means 5 and calls the wireless means 2.
control and make calls via wireless telephone lines. Next, the alarm generation means 6 is instructed to generate an alarm, and the alarm is issued to the other party on the telephone through the wireless means 2.

As described above, according to the wireless telephone device of the embodiment of the present invention, the password number and the telephone number to be contacted in the event of theft are stored in advance in the storage means, and a third party can move the device. If so, the movement detection means sends a signal to the control means to report the occurrence of theft to the number stored in the storage means. When the owner moves the device, he or she keys in the code number to stop the notification.

[0013] The theft detection means in this embodiment is as follows:
In short, any means can be used as long as it performs the function of detecting a change in the position of the device, such as vibration detection means or acceleration detection means.

[0014] Furthermore, the alarm generating means in this embodiment includes:
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi f)
In short, any means can be used as long as it fulfills the function of notifying the occurrence of an abnormal situation such as theft, such as a high frequency multi-frequency signal generating means or a sound generating means.

Further, the data input means in this embodiment is not limited to the keyboard, but any means such as voice input means, in short, control means, etc., can be used as long as it is capable of inputting data to related blocks.

Further, in this embodiment, the comparison means is represented as an independent functional block, but it is of course possible to include it in the control means block.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, when a person who does not know the code number attempts to move the wireless telephone device, an alarm is issued to the pre-registered telephone number. It is possible to provide a wireless telephone device that can notify the occurrence of theft and is extremely effective in preventing theft of the wireless telephone device itself or a car equipped with the wireless telephone.
