[0030] The storage unit 31 is an example of an operation procedure storage unit, and stores the correct operation type / operation procedure (operation procedure for inputting correct / unlock information) as a list.

The storage unit 32 temporarily stores unlock information (operation input) acquired from the operation acquisition unit 1.

The storage unit 33 is an example of a release information storage unit, and stores the lock release information. The correct unlock information is checked against the acquired unlock information, and if they match, the lock state is released.

[0033] The storage unit 34 is an example of a transmission destination storage unit, and stores an electronic mail address that is a transmission destination of an unauthorized use notification.

The data processing device 2 includes an unlock processing unit (hereinafter simply referred to as “processing unit”) 21 and a lock. A release information collation unit (hereinafter simply referred to as “collation unit”) 22 and a transmission information acquisition unit (hereinafter simply referred to as “acquisition unit”) 23 are provided.

The processing unit 21 refers to the storage unit 31 and determines whether the operation input from the operation acquisition unit 1 is a correct unlocking operation (operation procedure).

[0036] If the operation input is a correct unlocking operation, the processing unit 21 determines whether the operation input is unlock information, and if the operation input is unlock information, the processing unit 21 stores the operation input in the storage unit 32. Memorize the input.

Furthermore, the processing unit 21 determines whether the unlocking operation has been completed based on the list stored in the storage unit 31 and the operation input. When the operation input is not the end of the unlocking operation, the processing unit 21 waits for the operation input from the operation acquisition unit 1.

[0038] When the processing unit 21 determines that the unlocking operation has been completed, the verification unit 22 stores the unlock information (operation input) stored in the storage unit 32 and the storage unit 33.

The acquired information is transmitted to.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the first embodiment.

[0042] The present invention is based on the premise that the terminal device is in a locked state. Therefore, if the terminal device is not locked, the terminal device performs normal operation (step Sl).

[0043] When the terminal device is in the locked state, the operation acquisition unit 1 acquires an operation input (step S2). [0044] The processing unit 21 checks whether the operation input acquired by the operation acquisition unit 1 is correct or not by comparing the operation input with the operation type in the storage unit 31 and a list of operation procedures. (Step S3).

[0045] If it is determined in step S3 that the operation input is a correct unlocking operation, the processing unit 21 determines whether or not the acquired operation input is the unlock information power based on the list of operation procedures in the storage unit 31. (Step S4).

If it is determined in step S4 that the operation input is unlock information, the processing unit 21 stores the acquired operation input in the storage unit 32 (step S5). If the operation input is not determined to be unlock information, the processing unit 21 does not store the acquired operation input in the storage unit 32.

Thereafter, the processing unit 21 refers to the list of operation procedures in the storage unit 31 and determines whether the operation input is the end of the unlocking operation. If the operation input is not completed, the processing unit 21 returns the process to step S2 and waits for an operation input from the operation acquisition unit 1 (step S6).

[0048] If it is determined in step S6 that the operation input is the end of the unlocking operation, the collation unit 22 registers the unlocking information that is the operation input stored in the storage unit 32 and the storage unit 33. The lock release information is collated (step S7).

[0049] The unlock information is not particularly limited as long as it can be collated information such as a release code (pin code), ecological information (face, fingerprint, vein, voice print, iris, etc.), handwriting, and the like.

[0050] If the two unlock information matches in step S7, collation unit 22 causes unlocking unit 4 to unlock the terminal device (step S8).

[0051] The acquisition unit 23 determines that the operation input is correct in step S3 and is not determined to be an unlock operation, or if the two unlock information does not match in step S7, the operation input is illegally used. It is determined that

[0052] When the operation input indicates unauthorized use, the obtaining unit 23 obtains the unauthorized use time from the time obtaining unit 5, and obtains the location of the terminal device or the existence range of the terminal device from the location obtaining unit 6 and the unauthorized use location. , Obtain audio information under unauthorized use from the audio acquisition unit 7, obtain image / moving image information under unauthorized use from the image / moving image acquisition unit 8, The e-mail address of the registered transmission destination is acquired from the storage unit 34 (step S9).

There may be a plurality of registered transmission destinations. In that case, send to multiple registered destinations at once. The obtained information is transmitted.

The communication unit 9 transmits each piece of information acquired in step S 9 to the registered transmission destination e-mail address acquired in step S 9 in the form of a text file and an attached file using binary data. After the transmission, the processing of the terminal device returns to step S2 and waits for an operation input from the operation acquisition unit 1 (step S10).

[0055] The operation from step S2 to step S6 will be described in detail with a specific example.

[0056] For example, when the unlocking operation is started, the clear key is pressed in the storage unit 31, and then four numeric unlock codes (unlock information) are input and the clear key is pressed. Suppose that a list of operation types' operation procedures in which the operation input ends the unlock operation is stored.

[0057] First, when Tariaki is input as an operation input in Step S2, this operation input is corrected and unlocked in Step S3 from the operation type of Tariaki and the operation procedure of starting the unlocking operation. The operation is determined and step S4 is executed.

[0058] In step S4, it is determined from the operation procedure that the clear key and!, And the operation input are not unlock information, and step S6 is executed.

[0059] In step S6, it is determined from the operation procedure that the operation input of the clear key is not the end of the unlocking operation, and the processing power S returns to step S2 and waits for the operation input.

[0060] Furthermore, when a number is input as an operation input in step S2, the operation type of number and

From the operation procedure of the first operation input after pressing the clear key, this operation input is correct.

V, it is determined that the operation is unlocking, and step S4 is executed.

[0061] In step S4, it is determined from the operation procedure that this operation input is unlock information.

Step S5 is executed.

[0062] In step S5, the number that is the operation input is stored in the storage unit 32 as the first unlock information, and then step S6 is executed.

[0063] In step S6, it is determined from the operation procedure that this operation input is not the end of the unlocking operation, and the process returns to step S2 and waits for the operation input.

[0064] Through the same procedure, after that, when three numbers are input and the processing is executed up to step S6, the pressing force of the clear key is also the fourth operation input. It is determined that the unlocking operation has ended, and step S7 is executed.

[0065] If, in the above step, a numeric key input is entered and a clear key is entered, in step S3, the operation input is based on the operation type of the clear key and the operation procedure of starting the unlocking operation. It is determined that the unlocking operation is correct, and step S4 is executed. At the same time, the operating procedure returns. In other words, the operator must enter the release code from the beginning.

In the above description, the unlock information is a number, but it may be ecological information or the like.

[0067] Next, the operation from step S2 to step S6 when the unlock information is ecological information will be described in detail using a specific example.

[0068] For example, the clear key is pressed to start the unlocking operation in the storage unit 31, and after 2 seconds, face information (unlocking information) by face shooting is input and the first operation after pressing the clear key Assume that a list of operation types' operation procedures in which the operation input ends the unlocking operation is stored.

[0069] First, when Tariaki is input as an operation input in Step S2, this operation input is corrected and unlocked in Step S3 from the operation type of Tariaki and the operation procedure of starting the unlocking operation. The operation is determined and step S4 is executed.

[0070] In step S4, it is determined from the operation procedure that the clear key and!, And the operation input are not unlock information, and step S6 is executed.

In step S6, it is determined from the operation procedure that the operation input of the clear key is not the end of the unlocking operation, and the processing power S returns to step S2 and waits for the operation input.

[0072] Furthermore, in step S2, when face information obtained by photographing a face after 2 seconds is input as an operation input, from the operation type of face information and the operation procedure of the first operation input from the clear key, The operation input is correct and it is determined that the operation is an unlock operation, and step S4 is executed.

[0073] In step S4, it is determined from the operation procedure that this operation input is unlock information, and step S5 is executed.

In step S5, face information as an operation input is stored in the storage unit 32 as unlock information, and then step S6 is executed.

[0075] In step S6, from the operation procedure, the operation input, which is face information, ends the unlock operation. And step S7 is executed.

[0076] As described above, steps S2 to S6 can correspond to various operation inputs.

Here, face information is used as an operation input by key input or face photography after n seconds, but is generated by a trigger signal generated by lifting the terminal device or by opening / closing the terminal device. Various operation inputs such as a trigger signal may be used.

[0078] Further, a display (instruction) for prompting a collation operation or the like may be performed at the time of the next operation input of the clear key.

Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described.

[0080] In this embodiment, the operation input is constantly monitored, and the unauthorized use notification is transmitted even when the operation input that is performed only when the operation input cannot be verified is not a correct unlocking operation.

[0081] Therefore, after a malicious third party performs an operation (unauthorized use) that is different from the unlocking operation, an instruction for collation operation of the unlocking information appears or the collation operation is noticed. Even if you quit, you will be notified of unauthorized use.

[0082] For this reason, when the terminal device is stolen, the user misplaces the terminal device, or the user drops the terminal device, the terminal device becomes inoperable. When properly used, the user can specify the unauthorized user and the location of unauthorized use from the information on unauthorized use notification.

[0083] Also, if the user misplaces the terminal device or drops the terminal device, a bona fide third party operates the terminal device slightly to perform an operation (unauthorized use) that is different from the unlocking operation. Just tell me and you will be notified of unauthorized use.

Therefore, the user can obtain information on the lost terminal device from the information on the unauthorized use notification, and can search for the terminal device.

[0085] In the present embodiment, unauthorized information such as unauthorized use time information, terminal device position information, audio information, and image / moving image information is included in the information sent as an unauthorized use notification. There is valid information that can identify the unauthorized use place. Therefore, it becomes easier for the user to identify the unauthorized user's unauthorized use location from the information on the unauthorized use notification. For this reason, it is possible to catch unauthorized users and recover lost terminal devices. Or

Furthermore, in this embodiment, unlock information is acquired based on operation input monitoring, operation type, and operation procedure. For this reason, in this embodiment, there is no indication of the unlock information verification operation! It can also be used with / ヽ terminal devices.
