Hereinafter, a processing procedure at the time of registering the position information of the destination position of the portable wireless terminal will be described with reference to a flowchart 601 in FIG. First, the flowchart 601
In step (hereinafter abbreviated as s) 1, the portable wireless terminal 201 carried by the mobile terminal performs processing based on a normal GPS function. That is, the portable wireless terminal 201 is connected to the GPS satellites 101 to 101.
The GPS data is received by the antenna 213 via the satellite radio waves 301 to 303 transmitted from the base station 103. In addition, this G
The PS data means that the satellite radio waves 301 to 303 transmitted from the GPS satellites 101 to 103 correspond to the portable radio terminal 201.
Means the data required to calculate the propagation time and the like required to reach.

Next, in s2, the current position information of the portable radio terminal 201 is calculated and recognized based on the GPS data. The calculation and recognition of this position information is performed by the portable wireless terminal 2.
This is performed by position information recognizing means (not shown) stored in the storage unit 01. Then, this position information is displayed on a screen as display means of the portable wireless terminal 201 using, for example, latitude and longitude. Therefore, when the person carrying the portable wireless terminal 201 can go to the destination position 502 in advance,
In the portable wireless terminal 201, the position information at the destination position 502 is displayed on the screen.

Next, in s3, the user presses down the position registration button 202 when necessary. The depression of the position registration button 202 is performed, for example, by
This is performed based on an instruction to prompt the carrier to register the position information of the target position, such as “Do you want to register the target position?” On the first screen. Then, when necessary, that is, when the carrier wants to register the position information of the destination position, the depression is performed. Note that the instruction to prompt whether to register the position information of the destination position is given on the screen of the portable wireless terminal 201 as a display unit. further,
In s4, by depressing the position registration button, the position information of the target position at the target position 502 is registered in a registration unit (not shown) housed in the portable wireless terminal 201.

In the conventional wireless terminal with a GPS function, the current position information is calculated and updated each time the mobile terminal moves. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a position registration button 202 and a registration unit for registering the position information. Thus, the position information of the target position can be registered and held. In addition, the portable wireless terminal 201 is replaced with a conventional function by using a flowchart 601.
The procedure of s3 and s4 shown in the above may be added.

Next, a processing procedure at the time of notification of arrival of a target position of the portable radio terminal will be described with reference to a flowchart 604 in FIG. Portable wireless terminal 201 that has prepared for FIG.
The person 203 carrying the vehicle is located at a departure position 5 such as a station or a stop.
From 01, get on a bus 503, a train 504, or the like. In s5 of the flowchart 604, the portable wireless terminal 20
In 1, the current GPS data is received each time the user moves, as in the conventional function, and the current position information is calculated and updated in s 6.

On the other hand, when the position information is calculated in s6, s
At 7, the current position information is compared with the position information of the target position registered in the registration means in advance. As a result, if the current position information does not match the position information of the target position, the process returns to s5, and the GPS data is received again. On the other hand, when the bus 503 or the train 504 approaches the target position 502 and the position information of the target position registered in advance matches the current position information, s7 ends.

In s8, the portable wireless terminal 201 is called up and the portable person 203 is notified of the call. The portable wireless terminal 201 may add the procedures of s7 and s8 shown in the flowchart 604 to the conventional function. The function of calling the portable wireless terminal 201 and notifying the portable person 203 of the effect may use various notification functions of a conventional mobile phone or the like.

In the present embodiment, as described above, a portable wireless terminal such as a cellular phone, PHS, pager, etc.
Register the location information of the destination location using PS,
Since the portable wireless terminal notifies when the portable person 203 arrives at the target position, the portable person easily informs the portable person when the portable person arrives or approaches the target position, and falls asleep. Even so, the arrival at the destination position can be notified. For this reason, the carrier can take a nap or read a book slowly without worrying about getting over in a train or the like.

In this embodiment, the means for notifying arrival at the destination is provided by a mobile phone or P
Since it is integrated with the HS or the pager, the service of notifying the target position can be easily provided without imposing a burden on the carrier to separately have a device for notifying the target position.

Further, in the present embodiment, by integrating with a conventional portable telephone, PHS, and pager, the PHS and GPS antenna for the conventional GPS integrated PHS and the like, and the calculation of the current position information are calculated. Procedures for can be used. Therefore, simply adding a simple function or procedure to a conventional portable wireless terminal can provide a service of notifying a target position at low cost and easily to a carrier.

In addition, when the carrier is an infant, the guardian registers in advance a point slightly before the station where the infant is to be disembarked as the destination position, so that the infant alone can enter the train or the like. Even when boarding, the infant can be notified that the getting off station is near. In addition, since the portable wireless terminal 201 according to the present embodiment is integrated with a PHS or a mobile phone,
If the portable wireless terminal 201 informs and notifies the infant to the guardian at the same time as using the abbreviated dial, etc., it will be possible to guide the infant to get off at the station where they are scheduled to get off more smoothly. it can.

Next, as an application of the present embodiment, for example, a method will be described in which the portable person 203 uses the portable wireless terminal 201 for commuting and efficiently notifies arrival at each destination position during round trip. In FIG. 2 described above, it is assumed that 501 is a station where the residence of the mobile user 203 is located, and 502 is a station where the commuting destination is located. Also,
The portable wireless terminal 201 can store two or more pieces of location information in storage means (not shown) in association with destination names such as station names and place names, and the above-described registration of the location information of the destination location is performed by the storage means. Can be performed by selecting the destination name stored in.

This can be realized, for example, by using the position registration button 202 of the portable radio terminal 201 in association with a PHS or a numeric button which is conventionally provided on a portable telephone and which can also input characters. That is, the user inputs the station name of the station 501 where the user 203 lives as the first destination name by using a numeric button or the like, and presses down the location registration button 201 in correspondence with the input.
Is stored in the storage means in association with the destination name. Similarly, as the second destination name, the station name of the station 502 where the carrier 203 commutes is input, and the location information of the destination position at that station 502 is stored in association with the destination name. Let the means memorize.

After storing in the storage means, a message such as "Please select a destination name" is displayed on the screen of the portable wireless terminal 201. Based on this display, the carrier 203 selects the second destination name when going to work, and selects and sets the first destination name when returning home, so that the destination position can be properly used during a round trip and each destination can be used. At the location, you can receive notification of arrival.

Further, when the time zone for arriving at the destination is determined to some extent, such as when commuting, it is conceivable to register the position information of the destination in association with the time zone. This can be realized by using the position registration button in association with a clock function provided in a conventional PHS or a mobile phone in addition to a numeric button or the like.

That is, for example, the carrier 203 arrives at the station 502 where the commuting destination is at work from 7:00 am to 11:00 am, and arrives at the station 501 where the residence is at home from 17:00 to 24 pm when returning home. Assume that it is until time. In this case, the carrier 203 stores the destination name and the position information of the destination position in association with each other as described above, and also stores the time zone of arrival at the destination.

After the data is stored in the storage means, a message such as "Please select a destination name" is displayed on the screen of the portable wireless terminal 201. However, at this time, a plurality of destination names can be selected.
In the portable wireless terminal 201, when the received current position information and the position information of the target position match in the time zone stored corresponding to the position information of the target position, an arrival notification to the target position is issued. It is configured to be performed. In addition to the case where this time zone is stored in the storage unit in advance, when a destination name is selected, it may be registered in the registration unit in association with the position information of the destination position. In this way, the time zone is stored in association with the position information of the destination position, and the destination name can be selected in a plural number, so that the arrival notification can be received at each destination position during the round trip. Rather, once the destination name is selected, the destination name is alternately changed between the first destination name and the second destination name for the purpose of making a round trip. No need to reselect. further,
When the time zone is different, the arrival notification is not performed. Therefore, when returning home, the portable wireless terminal 201 notifies the arrival at the station 501 where the person 203 lives, but the next morning even if the selection of the destination name is not changed. No arrival notification is made even if the carrier 203 approaches the station 501 at the time of going to work. Therefore, the carrier does not need to change the selection of the destination name every time or turn off the function so as not to notify the arrival at the destination position.

The case where the time zone is stored in the storage means in association with the position information of the target position has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

In the present embodiment, a case has been described in which the portable radio terminal 201 issues a notification when the position information of the target position matches the current position information. However, "match" here does not necessarily mean that the position information recognized by the position information recognition means is completely the same. That is, the case where the position information of the target position registered in advance and the current position information substantially coincide with each other is also included. More specifically, when the position information of the target position is registered at the target position 502, the position information of the target position and the current position information match when the position information of the target position matches the current position information. This includes a case where the position information (position information of the target position in a broad sense) calculated by giving a certain margin to the base and the current position information match. Therefore, the person carrying the portable wireless terminal 201
Target area 512 corresponding to the location information of the target location in a broad sense
When the mobile terminal 201 enters the inside, the portable wireless terminal 201 notifies. Further, the accuracy of the position information does not need to be so high, and it is sufficient if the analysis can be performed at about 100 m. This means that for vehicles with an average speed of 36 km / h (10 m / s) before stopping, 100
This is because even m does not require more than 10 seconds.

In this embodiment, the case has been described in which the portable person 203 causes the portable wireless terminal 201 to store the position information of the destination position in association with the destination name. However, the invention is not intended to be so limited. That is, for example, in a state where the position information of a plurality of destination positions is stored in the storage unit in association with the destination name, the portable wireless terminal 2
01 may be sold.

Since the mobile terminal 904 is to receive and register the position information of the destination position and to notify when the portable person 904 arrives at the destination position, the same effect as the effect shown in the first embodiment is obtained. Besides GPS
The satellite radio waves 301 to 303 from the satellites 101 to 103 have a large reflection in a building in an urban area or the like, and the reception level in a vehicle such as the train 504 is low, and the position information is recognized only by a small portable wireless terminal. The effect can be similarly obtained even when the accuracy is considerably deteriorated.

In this embodiment, recognition of position information using GPS data is performed by a GPS receiver 702 in a position information transmitting terminal 701. Therefore, the portable wireless terminal 901 does not need to include a position information recognizing unit for recognizing position information using GPS data. Therefore, the structure of the portable wireless terminal 901 can be simplified.
