Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile phone operation control system and a control method thereof, and more particularly to a mobile phone operation control system and a control method thereof for automatically setting a mobile phone having a drive mode function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a drive mode (D mode), which is one of the functions of a mobile phone, is a function to be set by a user while driving a car, and the period during which the drive mode is set is set. For incoming calls, the mobile phone responds with a voice message to the effect that the user cannot answer the phone while driving, and the simple answering machine function (message memo function) saves the incoming call requirements from the caller. It was something to keep.

In the conventional mobile phone having such a drive mode, various function settings are made manually or by a user. For example, when a user drives a vehicle, a combination of various operation buttons provided on the operation unit of the mobile phone, or a dedicated D mode button is pressed to drive the mode. That is, since the user is driving the vehicle, a message indicating that the user cannot respond to the incoming call is sent, and the operation is switched to the simple answering machine function.

However, in the above-mentioned mobile phone, the setting is switched by the user's own manual operation or voice input, so unless the user himself / herself is aware of the setting of the drive mode, when the vehicle is driven (running). Middle), there was a problem that you forget the operation itself of switching the setting of your mobile phone to the drive mode.

Further, since the setting is switched by the user's own manual operation or voice input, the user once sets the drive mode, but unless the user himself / herself is aware of the cancellation of the drive mode, gets out of the car, or
When the vehicle is not in the running state, there is a problem that the user must cancel the setting of the drive mode.

In order to solve such a problem, for example, as a conventional example 1, a "cellular phone stop device" disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-294970 is known. This mobile phone stop device, when detecting the running state of the vehicle,
By radiating electromagnetic waves into the vehicle, the operation of the mobile phone is stopped to disable the call, that is, the incoming call is restricted.

Further, as a conventional example 2, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-12
The "mobile phone system for automobiles" disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2161 is known. In this mobile phone system for automobiles, the main body of the mobile phone is held by a dedicated holder that is installed inside the vehicle while the vehicle is running, and the holder is supplied with electric power from the battery for the automobile to increase the voltage of the battery for the automobile. It is to detect whether or not the vehicle is running and to limit the use of the mobile phone when it is detected to be running.

Further, as a conventional example 3, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-16
An "in-vehicle wireless telephone system" disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 8767 is known. This in-vehicle wireless telephone system detects that the vehicle is running by detecting the on / off state of the ignition switch or the vehicle speed exceeding a certain speed, and limits the use of the mobile phone. is there.

Further, as a conventional example 4, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-33.
A "calling / restricting radio wave signal transmitter and a mobile phone / calling control system using the same" disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 1955 is known. This outgoing and incoming call control radio signal transmitter and outgoing and incoming call control system for mobile phones using it
If it is determined that the place where the outgoing / incoming call control radio wave transmitter is installed is inside the car, the outgoing call control radio wave transmitter and the mobile phone body are 1:
Under the environment of No. 1, the outgoing / incoming restrictions are set only for the mobile phone of a specific line carrier.

[0010]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example 1, the traveling state of the automobile is detected, and the electromagnetic waves are transmitted to all the mobile phones existing in the automobile, and the mobile phones that have received the electromagnetic waves. Each of the telephones is subject to a restriction such as a call stop or an operation stop, and there is a problem that not only the driver but also the operation of the passenger's mobile phone is controlled.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional example 2, there is a problem that the operation cannot be switched unless it is held by a dedicated holder for holding the portable telephone brought into the vehicle.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional example 3, whether or not the vehicle is running is detected based on the on / off state of the ignition switch or the vehicle speed, and when it is running, the vehicle is wirelessly present inside the vehicle. Since the operation of the mobile phone is restricted, the operation is restricted for all the mobile phones brought into the vehicle.
Had the same problem with.

Further, in the above-mentioned Conventional Example 4, when the outgoing call control of the portable telephone is performed, the use of the portable telephones of all users who use the portable telephones of the same line carrier is restricted.
