Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid the useless power consumption of a portable equipment of which usable power capacity is limited as less as possible by restricting transmitting operation in accordance with the environment of the portable equipment itself or a transmitted party. SOLUTION: When a CPU 24 detects that time counted by an internal clock 24a is transmission inhibition time stored in a RAM 30, the processing operation of an RF transmitting part 32 is stopped. At the time of detecting that the time counted by the clock 24a is not the transmission inhibition time during the stop of the processing operation of the RF transmitting part 32, the CPU 24 releases the stop of the processing operation. Even when transmitting processing is executed in error in a time band inhibiting the transmitting processing, the CPU 24 judges the transmitting processing operation and stops the operation until the end of the transmitting processing inhibition time. Thus the portable equipment can limit transmitting operation in accordance with the environment of the equipment itself.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable transmitter and a portable communication device, such as a two-way paging transceiver, which is used by a portable device to transmit and receive data by radio signals.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, along with the implementation for the purpose of wireless mutual data communication represented by a tele-terminal system, etc., a data transmission function has been added to a paging receiver which has been conventionally dedicated to reception, and bidirectional A paging transceiver that enables communication is planned and sold. In this type of paging transceiver, for example, when a user carrying a first paging transceiver transmits a message to a user carrying a second paging transceiver, 1st in 2 paging transceivers
Corresponding to the response request signal in the message sent from the paging transmitter / receiver of the paging transmitter / receiver without automatically waiting for the operation by the user, the response (acknowledge) signal is automatically generated and sent back to the first paging transmitter / receiver. A device having a so-called back transmission function is considered.

By utilizing this acknowledgment transmission function, the user of the first paging transceiver can safely receive the message without imposing an extra burden on the user of the second paging transceiver. In addition to confirming whether or not the question has been answered, it becomes possible to send a question in which answer options are provided in advance as a message and receive the answer to this in response signals.

[0004]

However, a portable device such as the paging transmitter / receiver emits an electromagnetic wave when used, and in a specific environment, for example, in a vehicle equipped with a special instrument such as a passenger plane. Its use is prohibited because it may adversely affect the instrument. Therefore, it is necessary to refrain from using the transmission function of the mobile device under the specific environment as described above.

If the user of the portable device whose transmission output is small and the transmission range is limited is outside the transmission range, contact with the transmission destination even if the transmission operation is performed. I can't take it. Therefore, only after performing the transmitting operation, the user confirms that he / she is outside the area.

Further, in the paging transmitter / receiver having the above-mentioned back-back transmission function, it cannot be confirmed that the other party of the transmission exists in an environment capable of responding. In such a case, therefore, the transmission operation is performed until the response signal is received. Continuing to do so results in wasting power.

As described above, even if a data transmission function is added to a receiver typified by a paging receiver or the like, it often depends on the surrounding environment or the situation of the system to be used. The features were not always suitable for usability.

The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and an object of the present invention is to limit the transmission operation in accordance with the environment in which the user or the other party of the transmission is placed, and the usable power capacity. It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable transmission device and a portable communication device capable of avoiding useless power consumption as much as possible even in a portable device having a limitation in the above and notifying a user of whether transmission is possible.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems That is, the present invention provides (1) transmitting means for performing transmission processing by radio signals;
Clocking means for clocking the current time, storage means for storing the transmission prohibition time, and stopping the processing operation of the transmission means when detecting that the time clocked by the clocking means is the transmission prohibition time, A control means for canceling the stop of the processing operation of the transmitting means when it is detected that the time measured by the time measuring means is not the transmission prohibited time during the stop of the processing operation of the transmitting means. is there.

With such a configuration, by storing the time for prohibiting the transmission process in advance, a meaningless operation of erroneously executing the transmission process at the time for prohibiting the transmission process is performed. In this case, since the control means determines this and stops the transmission processing operation until the time for prohibiting the transmission processing ends, it is possible to limit the transmission operation according to the own environment. It will be possible.

(2) In the above item (1), the storage means stores schedule data including schedule information including time information and environment information of a surrounding environment in which the portable transmitting device is placed corresponding to the schedule information. It's something I remember.

With such a configuration, in addition to the above item (1), by storing the own schedule in the form of data, the control means prohibits the transmission processing in accordance with the contents of the schedule. Since the transmission processing operation is stopped until the time ends, it is possible to limit the transmission operation according to a preset schedule.

(3) In the above item (2), the schedule creating means for creating schedule information in the schedule data stored in the storage means, and the environment information added according to the schedule information created by the schedule creating means. Storage control means for setting and storing schedule data in the storage means is further provided.

With such a configuration, in addition to the above item (2), only by inputting arbitrary schedule information, environment information which may be prohibited from being transmitted is automatically added and set according to the schedule information. Since the schedule data is stored in the storage means as described above, it is possible to simplify the labor required for inputting information that may be prohibited from being transmitted in the schedule data.

(4) Transmitting means for transmitting a response request signal as a radio signal to another portable communication device, and transmission from the other portable communication device in response to the response request signal transmitted by this transmitting means. Receiving means for receiving a response signal by the received wireless signal, and time measuring means for measuring the current time,
Storage means for storing the transmission prohibition time to the other portable communication device, and the transmission means when the time counted by the clock means is detected to be the transmission prohibition time stored in the storage means. When the transmission processing of the response request signal is stopped and it is detected that the time measured by the time measuring means is not the transmission prohibition time stored in the storage means while the transmission processing of the transmitting means is stopped, the transmission of the transmitting means is performed. And a control means for canceling the stop of the processing and starting the transmission of the response request signal to the other portable communication device.

With this configuration, when the response request signal is transmitted to the other portable communication device having the acknowledgment transmission function, a time that is inconvenient for the other portable communication device is transmitted in advance. By storing the time as the processing prohibition time, even if an operation for executing the transmission processing is mistakenly performed during the time when the transmission processing is prohibited, the control means determines this and executes the transmission processing. Since the transmission processing operation is stopped until the prohibition time ends, the other portable communication device is not disturbed.

The power supply circuit 34 is a circuit for supplying power to each circuit according to the operation of the power supply key 14a.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

In this case, the current date and time is "9:00 May 1, 1995 (am)", and the schedule data is "May 1, 1995", that is, "13:00" to "15:00" of the day. Up to ", the processing operation in the case of registering that the" regular meeting "is held at the" X-center "will be illustrated.

FIG. 8 shows the portable communication terminal equipment 1A, 1B.
2 shows the contents of the processing relating to the creation and registration of the schedule data mainly controlled by the CPU 24 after the power is turned on. When the power is turned on by operating the power key 14a of the key input unit 14, the incoming call is first received. While the waiting state is set (step A1), the operation of pressing the schedule mode key 14f to select the schedule mode for inputting the schedule data is waited (step A2).

When it is determined that the schedule mode key 14f has been pressed to select the schedule mode, it is determined whether the schedule data corresponding to the date of the day is already stored in the schedule data memory area SD of the RAM 30. It is searched and judged (step A3), and if stored, the corresponding schedule data is read from the schedule data memory area SD to create a timetable and displayed on the display unit 121 (step A4). If not, a calendar representing the seven days of the current month is created in place of the above timetable and is displayed on the display unit 121, and the number of the day portion is blinked (step A5).

FIG. 9 exemplifies a display screen on the display input section 121 at this time. After it is determined in step A3 that the schedule data corresponding to the date of the day is stored, it is created in step A4. And display input unit 12
1 shows the timetable displayed in 1.

In the figure, the current date and time is "95".
May 1st, 9:00 ”, and the contents and location of the three schedule data (1) to (3) are (1) Office work company (2) Dinner Y-hotel (3) Return home, home. , And 1 of the above three schedule time zones
The time table for the day is displayed on one screen of the display unit 121, and the characters "new" indicating the schedule mode for inputting new schedule data are displayed.

On the timetable, as shown in the figure, the portion TC indicating that the movement to the previous position of the schedule data in (1) above is necessary is hatched, and the vacant time portion PTC is indicated by a large "x" mark. Displayed respectively.

In such a display state, the input pen 1
5, it is determined whether or not a confirmation for newly creating schedule data is made depending on whether or not the "new" character portion of the display input section 121 is pressed (step A6).

When it is determined that the "new" character portion of the display input unit 121 has been pressed to confirm that new schedule data is to be newly created, the start time (ST) and end time (ED) of the actual schedule data are then determined. ), Contents (BUS) and place (PLS), and input schedule data is registered (step A).
7).

The schedule data can be input by pressing any key of the keyboard displayed on the display input section 122 with the input pen 15 as described above, and not only the numbers, symbols, and alphabets but also "Kana" after the alphabet input. It is possible to convert characters into Kana by using the Roman key-to-Kana conversion by key operation, and by converting the character string displayed in Kana using the input pen.

Then, the schedule data to be registered is fixed when all the information of the start time (ST), the end time (ED), the content (BUS) and the place (PLS) of the schedule data are input. Step A
7) It is displayed on the timetable corresponding to the time.

Then, it is judged from the schedule data located before and after based on the determined contents whether or not there is a free time (step A8). If there is a free time, the location information of the schedule data is the schedule information before and after. It is determined whether or not the place is moved depending on whether or not the place information is different from that of the data (step A9).

If it is determined that there is a movement of the place, a display prompting the user to select a means of movement is displayed, and the corresponding free time portion MT on the time table is displayed in blinking (step A10). .

FIG. 10 exemplifies the display screen on the display input unit 121 at this time. Here, "95 5
Enter the start time “13:00”, end time “15:00”, content “regular meeting” and place “X-center” as the (4) th schedule data of “Month 1st”,
From the end time "11:00" of the (1) -th schedule, the start time "13: 0" of this (4) -th schedule
Select and instruct the transportation means up to 0 ", and then the end time" 15:00 "of the (4) th schedule to the start time" 17:00 "of the (2) th schedule.
In order to select and instruct the means of transportation for
While displaying characters such as “(airplane / train / car / walk)”, the part MT of the time is blinked on the timetable.

In such a display state, for example, by selectively operating the portion of the character "train" by the touch operation of the input pen 15, the selection instruction of the moving means is executed. When the instruction to select the transportation means is executed, it is determined whether or not the transmission is prohibited by referring to the transmission determination data MB in the ROM 29 and the registration of the RAM 30 in the memory area MD for the transportation means according to the selection contents (step A11). .

FIG. 11 exemplifies the display screen on the display input section 121 at this time. Here, the contents and location of the “regular meeting X-Center A”, which is the (4) th schedule data, are displayed continuously after the other schedule data of (1) to (3), and the schedule of this (4) is also displayed. By displaying the word "registration" at the data position, the user can be informed that the process of registering a series of schedule data including the transportation means has been completed.

After the registration process including such transportation means, or when it is determined that there is no free time based on the schedule data positioned before and after the schedule data determined in step A8, or when the free time exists in step A9. If it is determined that the place has not moved, the timetable of step A4 is created again,
Return to display processing.

In step A6, when the input pen 15 does not press the "new" character portion of the display input section 121 and the confirmation for newly creating the schedule data is not made, instead of this, It is determined whether or not an operation input for switching the mode is detected (step A12), and when it is detected, a process in another mode according to the detected content is executed (step A13) and it is not detected. In this case, the process again returns to the display process of the time table or calendar according to the presence / absence of the schedule data of the day in step A3.

Next, the processing relating to the transmission based on the schedule data registered as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
5 will be described.

12 to 15 mainly show the CPU 24 after the power is turned on in the portable communication terminal devices 1A and 1B.
The power supply key 14a of the key input unit 14 shows the content of processing relating to transmission of schedule data repeatedly executed at a fixed time controlled by, for example, 5 to 15 minutes.
When the power is turned on by operating the button, the terminal waits for an incoming call (step B1). From this waiting state for incoming calls, the schedule data memory area SD of the RAM 30 is searched for the schedule data of the day and the transportation means memory area MD is searched for the travel means information of the corresponding schedule data of the day at the predetermined time interval (step B
2) First, it is determined whether or not there is any transport prohibition information in the transportation information by referring to the transmission determination data MB in the ROM 29 (step B3).

Here, if it is determined that there is transportation means information for which transmission is prohibited, the CPU 24 displays the transmission prohibition symbol and the prohibition time zone PT on the display input unit 121 (step B4), and then a predetermined value inside the CPU 24. This flag is set with reference to the date and time when the power was turned off last time by the operation of the power key 14a stored in the register, and the flag indicating whether or not the transmission prohibition symbol is lit and displayed correspondingly. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the transmission prohibition symbol was lit up when the power was turned off last time (step B).
5).

Here, if it is determined that the transmission prohibition symbol has been lit and displayed even when the power supply was turned off last time, then the transmission of the schedule data of the day stored in the memory area MD for moving means is prohibited during the time zone. It is determined whether or not the current time falls within a time zone in which transmission is prohibited by referring to (step B6).

When it is determined that the current time is within the time period during which the transmission is prohibited, the date and time when the power is turned off by the previous operation of the power key 14a by the internal register of the CPU 24 is also the prohibited time. It is determined whether or not the user is in the belt (step B7).

Here, if it is determined that the prohibition time zone is not entered, the processing of FIG. 12 is the processing of the first round after the power is turned on, and within the time zone where transmission is currently prohibited. Therefore, the CPU 24 immediately cuts off the power supply to the transmission unit including the encoder unit 31 and the RF transmission unit 32 to stop the transmission operation (step B11).

After that, by driving any one of the speaker, the vibrator, and the LED 13 set in the notifying section 27, an alarm indicating that it is within the transmission prohibition time is issued, and at the same time, the display input section 121 prohibits transmission. The symbol is blinked and the corresponding prohibited time zone is highlighted (step B12).

FIG. 16 exemplifies the display screen on the display input section 121 at this time. Here, the current date, day of the week, and time are "May 1, 1995 (Monday) 16: 0
In addition to being “0”, the transmission prohibition symbol TS indicating that the operation of the transmission unit is currently prohibited is displayed in blinking, and the prohibition time zone PT in which transmission is prohibited on that day is displayed in the window. Then, in the prohibited time zone PT, the time zone corresponding to the current time is “15: 00-00”.
"17:00", in other words, "17:00"
This corresponding time zone is displayed in reverse video to indicate that the transmission prohibited state is not released until it becomes "0".

After the execution of the processing of step B12, the processing of step B12 is repeatedly executed until it is determined that a predetermined time set for alarm notification, for example, 30 seconds has passed, and it is determined that the predetermined time has passed. At that time (step B13), the alarm notification by the notification unit 27 is stopped (step B14), and then the processing from step B2 is repeatedly executed at regular time intervals.

In step B7, the current time is within the prohibited time zone, and the date and time when the power was turned off by the previous operation of the power key 14a is also within the prohibited time zone. If it is determined that the encoder unit 31 and the R unit are not connected, it means that the process of FIG.
While the power supply to the transmission unit including the F transmission unit 32 is cut off, the transmission operation is stopped (step B
8) Then, the prohibited time zone including the corresponding current time is highlighted on the display / input unit 121 (step B9).

After executing the process of step B9, the process of step B9 is repeatedly executed until it is determined that a preset constant time, for example, 30 seconds has elapsed, and when it is determined that the constant time has elapsed (step B10), the processing from step B2 is repeatedly executed again at regular time intervals.

Further, when it is determined in step B6 that the current time is not within the prohibited transmission time period, the date and time when the power was turned off by the previous operation of the power key 14a is prohibited. It is determined whether or not it is in the time zone (step B15).

When it is determined that the prohibition time zone is entered, it is determined that the current time is out of the prohibition time zone, and power is supplied to the transmission section including the encoder section 31 and the RF transmission section 32. After canceling the stop state of the transmission operation that has refused and starting the transmission operation again (step B18), transmission is prohibited by driving one of the speaker, the vibrator, and the LED 13 set in the notification unit 27. At the same time as the alarm notification indicating that the time zone is out of the above, the reverse display of the prohibited time zone on the display input unit 121 is canceled (step B19).

After that, the process of step B19 is repeatedly executed until it is determined that a predetermined time set for alarm notification, for example, 30 seconds has passed, and when it is determined that the predetermined time has passed (step B20). ), The alarm notification in the notification unit 27 is stopped (step B2
1) Then, the processing from step B2 is repeatedly executed again at a constant time interval.

If it is determined in step B15 that the date and time when the power was turned off last time by the operation of the power key 14a is not within the prohibited time zone, only the time zone during which transmission of the day is prohibited is performed. Is displayed as a prohibited time zone PT on the display input unit 121 in a window (step B16), and then a predetermined time, for example, 3
The processing of step B16 is repeatedly executed until it is determined that 0 seconds have elapsed, and when it is determined that the fixed time has elapsed (step B17), the processing from step B2 is repeatedly executed at fixed time intervals.

Further, in step B5, the previous power key 14 stored in the predetermined register inside the CPU 24 is stored.
By referring to the date and time when the power is turned off by the operation of a and the flag indicating whether or not the transmission prohibition symbol is lighted and displayed corresponding to this, the flag is not set and the transmission is performed when the power is turned off last time. If it is determined that the prohibition symbol is not lit and displayed, then an alarm notification indicating that there is a transmission prohibition time zone is performed by driving one of the speaker, the vibrator, and the LED 13 set in the notification unit 27. At the same time, the information of that time zone is displayed on the window by the prohibited input time zone PT on the display input section 121 (step B22).

FIG. 17 exemplifies the display screen on the display input unit 121 at this time. In this case, the current date, day of the week, and time are "1 May 1st, 1995 (Monday) 11:00".
In addition to being "0", the transmission prohibition symbol TS is lit to indicate that there is something that prohibits the operation of the transmission unit in the schedule data of the day, and the prohibition time period PT in which transmission is prohibited on that day Is displayed in the window.

After that, the process of step B22 is repeatedly executed until it is determined that a predetermined period of time for alarm notification, for example, 30 seconds has elapsed, and when it is determined that the predetermined period of time has elapsed (step B23). ), The alarm notification in the notification unit 27 is stopped (step B2
4) Then, the processing from step B2 is repeatedly executed at regular time intervals.

Further, when it is determined in step B2 that there is no transfer prohibition information in the retrieved schedule data, the previous power key 14a stored in the predetermined register in the CPU 24 is operated. Then, the date when the power is turned off is compared with the current date to determine whether or not the date has been updated (step B25).

When it is determined that the date has been updated, it is further determined whether or not the schedule data of the previous day is read from the schedule data memory area SD and the moving means memory area MD and transmission is prohibited (( In step B26), if any of the speaker, the vibrator, and the LED 13 set in the notification unit 27 is driven, an alarm indicating that the date has changed is issued, and at the same time, the transmission prohibition symbol in the display input unit 121 is displayed.

42B, ..., 42C, 42C, ..., 42D, 42D ,.
Are public telephone lines 47A-4 in the areas A-D, respectively.
7D, and the respective public telephone lines 47A to 47D are connected to the operation center via a repeater (not shown). Data is transmitted from the operation center to the transmission base stations 43A to 43D in the areas A to D via a communication satellite (not shown), and the transmission base stations 43A to 43D transmit the data to the portable communication stations existing in the area. It is designed to be transmitted to the terminal devices 1A and 1B.

However, if the portable communication terminal devices 1A and 1B are present in the zones Z1 and Z2, respectively, the transmittable range of the transmitting base stations 43A to 43D is the individual receiving base station 4.
Since it is sufficiently larger than the receivable range of 2A to 42D, data can be transmitted and received by the portable communication terminal devices 1A and 1B, but on the other hand, while moving between the zones, either one of them can move. It becomes impossible to send and receive data.

FIG. 20 shows the structure of the memory area of the RAM 30 provided in the portable communication terminal devices 1A and 1B. The CALL bank memory area CB stores various information of the destination, and the created message data is transmitted. Output box OB for temporarily storing up to, message data memory area MM for storing incoming message data, schedule data memory area SD for managing and storing own schedule data, and area in each zone And a location information memory area ZD for storing location information in the area.

The schedule data stored in the schedule data memory area SD of the RAM 30 of the portable communication terminal device 1A is the same as that illustrated in FIG.

FIG. 21 shows an example of location information stored as environment information in the location information memory area ZD of the RAM 30 of the portable communication terminal device 1A. Zones, areas and locations are stored in the memory area ZD. A plurality of sets of location data including sets of information are stored and stored.

The operation of the second embodiment will be described next.

In this example, the current date and time is "9:00 May 1, 1995 (am)", and the schedule data is "May 1, 1995", that is, "13:00" to "1.
An example of the processing operation in the case of newly registering to hold the “regular meeting” at the “X-center” until 5:00 ”will be described.

FIG. 22 shows the above portable communication terminal equipment 1A, 1
It shows the processing contents relating to the creation and registration of the schedule data mainly controlled by the CPU 24 after the power is turned on in B. When the power is turned on by operating the power key 14a of the key input unit 14, first, While waiting for an incoming call is set (step C1), the operation of pressing the schedule mode key 14f to select a schedule mode for inputting schedule data is waited (step C2).

When it is determined that the schedule mode key 14f is pressed and the schedule mode is selected, it is determined whether the schedule data corresponding to the date of the day is already stored in the schedule data memory area SD of the RAM 30. When it is searched and judged (step C3), if it is stored, the corresponding schedule data is read from the schedule data memory area SD to create a timetable and displayed on the display unit 121 (step C4).

It is assumed that the display screen of the display input section 121 at this time is the same as that shown in FIG. In this case, the current date and time is "May 1, 1995 9: 0
“0”, and the contents and location of the three schedule data of (1) to (3) are (1) office work company (2) dinner Y-hotel (3) returning home, and the above three schedules. Time zone 1
The time table for the day is displayed on one screen of the display unit 121, and the characters "new" indicating the schedule mode for inputting new schedule data are displayed.

Further, on the timetable, a portion indicating that there is no zone change between the schedule data is indicated by hatching, and a portion indicating that zone is changed is indicated by a large "x" mark. .

When it is determined in step C3 that the schedule data corresponding to the date of the current day is not stored in the schedule data memory area SD,
Instead of the above timetable, a calendar representing the seventh day of the current month is created and displayed on the display unit 121. In particular, the number of the current day portion is blinked, and a schedule mode for inputting new schedule data is displayed. Is displayed (step C5).

In the display state of step C4 or C5, the display input section 12 is pressed by the input pen 15.
It is determined whether or not the confirmation for newly creating the schedule data has been made depending on whether or not the "new" character portion of 1 is pressed (step C6).

When it is determined that the "new" character portion of the display input section 121 is pressed to confirm that new schedule data is to be created, the start time (ST) and end time (ED) of the actual schedule data are then determined. ), Contents (BUS) and place (PLS), and input schedule data is registered (step C).
7).

The schedule data can be input by pressing any key of the keyboard displayed on the display / input unit 122 with the input pen 15 to operate not only numbers, symbols and alphabets but also "Kana" key operation after the alphabet input. With kana-kanji conversion, you can enter kana mixed kanji.

[0100] Then, when all the information of the start time (ST), the end time (ED), the content (BUS) and the place (PLS) of the schedule data have been entered, the schedule data to be registered is decided ( Step C
7) It is displayed on the timetable corresponding to the time.

Next, the schedule data located before and after the read contents are read according to the determined contents, and the schedule data and the memory area ZD for location information shown in FIG.
With reference to, it is determined whether transmission is prohibited or not depending on whether or not there is a zone change due to movement of locations between schedule data, and the schedule data is registered in the schedule data memory area SD (step C8). .

FIG. 23 exemplifies the display screen on the display input section 121 at this time. Here, "95 5
It is assumed that the start time “13:00”, the end time “15:00”, the content “regular meeting”, and the place “X-center” are input as the (4) th schedule data of “Month 1st”.

In this case, according to the location information memory area ZD, the location information “company” of the (1) th schedule data and the location information of the (4) th data located before the (4) th schedule. Since both the "X-centers" are the first zone Z1, there is no change in the zone and 2
It is displayed as a moving section TC1 that can be transmitted between two schedules by hatching on the timetable, but the location information “Y-hotel” of the (2) th schedule data located after this (4) th schedule. Is the second zone Z2, and since the zone is different from the location information "X-center" of the (4) th data, there is a change in the zone and there is a movement section PTC1 that prohibits transmission between the two schedules. Then, it is displayed by a large "x" mark on the timetable.

After the registration processing including the setting of the transmission prohibition according to the presence or absence of the change of the zone between the schedule data,
The process again returns to the process of creating and displaying the timetable in step C4.

In step C6, when the input pen 15 does not press the "new" character portion of the display input section 121 and the confirmation for newly creating schedule data is not made, It is judged whether or not an operation input for switching the mode is detected (step C9), and when it is detected, a process in another mode according to the detected content is executed (step C10) and it is not detected. In this case, the process returns to the display process of the time table or calendar according to the presence / absence of the schedule data for the current day in step C3.

The location information memory area ZD shown in FIG. 21 is set in the RAM 30 as shown in FIG. 20, and the stored contents can be changed or updated by the user of the portable communication terminal device 1A. Can be freely set by.

As described above, in the second embodiment, transmission is prohibited by detecting whether or not there is a change in the zone to which the location information set as its own schedule data and the location information of the schedule data located before and after it is detected. An example is shown in which it is determined whether or not to do.

By having such a configuration and operation, there is no receiving base station that actually receives the transmitted data due to the change of the zone during movement, and the communication operation becomes useless even though the communication becomes impossible. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the battery, which is the power source, from being unnecessarily consumed.

(Third Embodiment) A third embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a portable communication terminal device having an automatic response function will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Further, it is assumed that the place information memory area ZD of the RAM 30 stores and stores a plurality of sets of place data including the same zone, area and place information as in FIG.

The operation of the third embodiment will be described next.

Here, the current date and time is "16:00 on May 1, 1995", and message data requesting a response from the portable communication terminal device 1A to the other portable communication terminal devices 1B to 1D is sent. The operation in the case where the portable communication terminal device 1A attempts to receive the response message transmitted from the portable communication terminal devices 1B to 1D in response to the transmission will be described as an example.

FIG. 26 shows each portable communication terminal device 1 at this time.
1A to 1D exemplify the positions of zones and areas in which A to 1D are present. First, the portable communication terminal device 1A that transmits message data requesting a response is near the first area A in the first zone Z1. Is located in. In addition, FIG.
In particular, the portable communication terminal device 1D is located between the first zone Z1 and the second zone Z2 as shown in the schedule data contents of FIG. Shall be located in an environment where it cannot receive this even if it is sent.

27 and 28 show the processing contents in the transmission mode of the message data mainly controlled by the CPU 24 in the portable communication terminal device 1A after the power is turned on, and the power key 14a of the key input unit 14 is shown. When the power is turned on by operating the button, first, the incoming call waiting state is set (step D1), and a predetermined key pressing operation is waited to select a message transmission mode for transmitting message data (step D1). The operation D2) is repeatedly executed.

When it is determined that the predetermined key is pressed and the message transmission mode is selected, it is first determined using the automatic response function whether or not the message data requesting a response is transmitted to the destination (step). D3).

This is determined, for example, by displaying two items of "normal communication" and "automatic response" on the display / input unit 121, and which character portion is selected by the input pen 15. If the character portion of the item "automatic response" is selected and operated by the input pen 15 here, then message data to be transmitted for requesting a response is input and registered (step D4). ).

Input of message data is performed by the display input unit 1
Input any key of the keyboard displayed on 22 Pen 1
By pressing at 5, not only numbers, symbols, and alphabets, but also kana-kanji characters can be input by kana-kanji conversion by operating the "kana" key after entering the alphabet.

When a predetermined key on the display keyboard of the display input section 122 indicating that the message data has been input is pressed, the input message data is given a registration number, and the output box of the RAM 30 is output. Registered and stored in OB.

FIG. 29 exemplifies the display screen on the display input section 121 at this time. Here, the item names of “normal transmission” and “automatic response” are displayed together with “transmission mode” indicating that the message data transmission mode is set, the current time “16:00”, and “automatic response” is displayed. "" Is selected by the cursor over the item name.

At the same time, the content of the message data, "contact me by 2:00 o'clock. RR" is input, and this message data is registered and stored in the output box OB of the RAM 30 together with the registration number "12". Is displayed.

When the processing of step D4 is completed, the destination is selected next (step D5). To select the destination, the destination name (NM) and the destination call number (CN) read from the CALL bank memory area CB and displayed are sequentially moved by operating the cursor key 14b in the vertical direction. It is also possible to select any number of persons by further scrolling and pressing the position of the destination with the input pen 15 when the desired destination name is displayed.

When the destination is selected, the schedule data of each selected destination is then read from the schedule data memory area SD1 and the location information is used to refer to the location information memory area ZD to prohibit transmission. It is determined whether or not the vehicle is moving between the designated places, that is, the zones (step D6).

Here, there is no problem if it is judged from the schedule data that there is no person corresponding to the transmission destination that may exist in the place where the transmission is prohibited. Display the corresponding person in reverse video on the screen, hold the transmission operation until the time when the prohibition of transmission is released, and then display the character prompting you to select whether to transmit, and respond to that display. It is determined whether or not an operation to confirm the destination has been performed (step D8).

FIG. 30 exemplifies the display screen on the display input section 121 at this time. Here, as the transmission destination, "TT" of the calling number "1-111-1111"
San, call number "2-222-2222""N.
Mr. N "and Mr. M. M. who has the calling number" 3-333-3333 "are selected as the transmission destinations, and the third" M. M. "is selected as the destination by the schedule data. Since it is moving between the zone Z1 and the second zone Z2, it is displayed that the response is currently impossible.

Then, together with this display, the transmission operation is suspended until the time when the prohibition of the transmission is released only for the destination to which the response is currently impossible, here, "M.M." Characters that prompt you to select whether or not to perform and the selection item are displayed as "(3) terminal is currently unable to respond! Send? YES NO", which is one of the selection items. "YES" is displayed in reverse video.

When the "YES" character portion is pressed with the input pen 15 in this display state, the operation for confirming the transmission is performed. On the contrary, when the "NO" character portion is pressed, no response is possible at present. The selection for the destination is canceled, and the process returns to step D5.

Then, after it is determined in step D8 that the operation for confirming the transmission destination has been performed, or after it is determined in step D6 that there is no transmission destination for which transmission is prohibited, transmission is executed by a predetermined key operation. It is determined whether or not an instruction to perform is input (step D11).

When it is determined that the instruction input for executing the transmission is made, the message data stored in the output box OB of the RAM 30 is sequentially added with the calling number of the sender whose transmission is not prohibited, and the transmission output is sequentially performed. Execute (step D12).

After that, whether or not there is a holder who has not transmitted by the processing of this transmission output, that is, step D above.
In step 8, it is determined whether or not there is a transmission destination determined as a person who performs transmission after suspending the transmission operation until the time when the prohibition of transmission is released (step D14).

If it is determined that there is no problem, there is no problem, so the process returns to step D1 again. If it is determined that there is, the time period during which the transmission of the corresponding destination is prohibited ends and the transmission process is canceled. The calling number and the message data are held until the designated time (steps D14, D
17) When it is determined that it is time to cancel the transmission process (step D14), the transmission output is executed again by using the call number and the message data that have been held anew (step D15), and then the above steps are performed. D1
Return to processing from.

FIG. 31 exemplifies the display screen on the display input section 121 at this time. Here, in FIG.
At the time of sending the message indicating that the held message data was transmitted and output to the portable communication terminal device 1D of “MM” whose transmission was prohibited at “16:00” Together with the date and time of “May 1, 1995 (Monday) 17:00! Message number 12
Sent to (3). Is displayed.

In step D3, it is assumed that "normal communication" is selected by pressing the input pen 15 instead of "automatic response" in which message data requesting a response from the destination is transmitted using the automatic response function. If you decide,
Next, the normal message data that does not request a response and the input message data are registered in the output box OB (step D9), and then the destination is selected by the same operation as in step D5. (Step D10) The process proceeds to step D11, and it is determined whether or not an instruction input to execute transmission is made by a predetermined key operation.

If it is determined in step D11 that the instruction to execute the transmission has not been input, the data to be transmitted is directly output to the output box OB of the RAM 30.
Stored in the memory (step D16), the above step D1
Return to processing from.

In the third embodiment described above, the transmission side stores and stores the schedule data of the transmission destination so that the transmission side terminal device holds the message data to be transmitted. The operation center that manages the zone may centrally manage schedule data management, message data reservation, and the like.

As described above, according to the third embodiment, the presence / absence of the zone to which the location information set as the destination schedule data and the location information of the schedule data located before and after the location information is changed is detected. An example is shown in which it is determined whether to prohibit transmission from the aircraft side.

By having such a configuration and operation, it is possible to suppress the transmission operation when it is determined that the transmission cannot be received by the transmission destination side, especially when transmitting message data requesting a response. By doing so, it is possible not only to prevent the battery, which is a power source, from being consumed due to unnecessary transmission operation, but also to recognize the state of the transmission destination and to reliably transmit the message data when the transmission becomes possible. It will be.
