Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a position notification system for notifying the current position of a moving user only when the moving user desires (when desired, desired partner, etc.). The present invention relates to a mobile communication device and a communication management device used in a system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a position notifying system for notifying the position of a moving user cannot provide the position of the moving user as seen in a position information service in a PHS (Personal Handy Phone System). But
It was not possible to select whether or not to notify the position according to the intention of the moving user.

[0003]

In the above-described location information service in the conventional PHS, if a PHS of a moving user is designated in advance, regardless of the intention of the moving user, the desired mobile user can be designated. Location is provided at any time. Therefore, there is a problem in that the corresponding mobile user is inevitably notified of the position even if he does not want to notify his / her current position.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a more effective position notification system that enables a moving user to arbitrarily select whether or not to notify his / her current position, and to facilitate this selection, and this system.
