The atmospheric pressure sensor 16 generates a signal corresponding to the detection result. The generated signal is input to the control unit 40. The atmospheric pressure sensor 16 is an example of an atmospheric pressure detection unit.

  The control program 30 </ b> A stored in the storage unit 30 provides a function of determining whether the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground based on the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 16. The determination condition data 30 </ b> B stored in the storage unit 30 includes a determination condition for determining whether the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground based on the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 16. The determination condition data 30B includes, for example, a range of atmospheric pressure when the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground.

  When the determination unit 40a receives a notification that the position measurement has failed from the positioning unit 40c, the determination unit 40a determines whether the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground based on the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 16. The determination unit 40 a acquires the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 16 after the measurement of the position of the mobile terminal 1 fails. The determination unit 40a monitors the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 16 when the acquired atmospheric pressure is within the range of atmospheric pressure when the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground. The determination unit 40a determines that the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground when the monitored atmospheric pressure has shifted for a certain time within the range of the atmospheric pressure when the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground. And sends a position measurement execution instruction to the positioning unit 40c.

  On the other hand, when the monitored atmospheric pressure is not within the range of atmospheric pressure when the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground, the determination unit 40a measures again by the atmospheric pressure sensor 16 at a predetermined interval. The obtained atmospheric pressure is acquired, and the determination as to whether the acquired atmospheric pressure is within the atmospheric pressure range when the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground is retried. When the number of retries exceeds a preset threshold, the determination unit 40a ends the position measurement without sending a position measurement execution instruction to the positioning unit 40c.

  When the position measurement unit 40c fails to measure the position, the positioning unit 40c sends a notification to the determination unit 40a that the position measurement has failed. When receiving the position measurement execution instruction from the determination unit 40a, the positioning unit 40c measures the position again.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing by the mobile terminal 1 according to the third embodiment. The processing procedure illustrated in FIG. 10 is realized by the control unit 40 reading and executing the control program 30A and the like stored in the storage unit 30. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 10 is different from the processing procedure of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 7 in the steps S405, S406, S410, and S411.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 40 detects the vibration of the object held by the own device (the portable terminal 1) based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14 (step S401). As a result of the determination, when the control unit 40 detects the vibration of the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) (step S401, Yes), the alarm is output from the speaker 15 via the sound processing unit 20. A sound is output (step S402).

  Subsequently, the control unit 40 measures the position of the mobile terminal 1 and stores the measured position in the storage unit 30 (step S403).

  Subsequently, based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14, the control unit 40 determines whether or not the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is moving by a predetermined moving method (step S404). .

  As a result of the determination, the control unit 40 measures the position of the mobile terminal 1 when the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is moving by a predetermined moving method (Yes in step S404). To determine whether the position has been successfully measured (step S405).

  As a result of the determination, if the position is successfully measured (step S405, Yes), the control unit 40 stores the measured position in the storage unit 30 (step S406).

  Subsequently, the control unit 40 determines, based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14, whether or not the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) has finished moving by a predetermined moving method (step S407). ).

  As a result of the determination, the control unit 40 returns to step S405 when the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) has not finished moving by the predetermined moving method (No in step S407). .

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination, the control unit 40 determines that the position of the mobile terminal 1 when the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) has finished moving by a predetermined moving method (Yes in step S407). And the measured position is stored in the storage unit 30 (step S408).

  Subsequently, the control unit 40 transmits the position data of the portable terminal 1 stored in the storage unit 30 and an email notifying the possibility of theft to the management server 100 (step S409), and returns to the above step S401. .

  In step S405, when the position measurement is not successful (failed) as a result of the determination (step S405, No), the control unit 40 acquires the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 16 and carries it. It is determined whether the terminal 1 is located on the ground (step S410).

  If the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground as a result of the determination (step S410, Yes), the control unit 40 returns to step S405. On the contrary, when the mobile terminal 1 is not located on the ground as a result of the determination (No in step S410), the control unit 40 determines the number of retries that determines whether the mobile terminal 1 is located on the ground as the threshold value. It is determined whether it exceeds (step S411).

  If the number of retries does not exceed the threshold value as a result of the determination (No at Step S411), the control unit 40 returns to Step S410. On the other hand, if the number of retries exceeds the threshold value as a result of the determination (Yes in step S411), the control unit 40 proceeds to step S409, and the position data measured so far and theft are possible. The e-mail for notifying the user is transmitted to the management server 100, and the process returns to step S401.

  In step S404, the control unit 40 determines that, as a result of the determination, the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is not moving by a predetermined moving method (No in step S404), FIG. The process shown in FIG.

  In step S401, when the control unit 40 does not detect the vibration of the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) as a result of the determination (step S401, No), the process illustrated in FIG. To do.

  In the said Embodiment 3, when the positioning of the portable terminal 1 fails, the portable terminal 1 measures a position again at the timing when it can be determined that the portable terminal 1 is located on the ground. For this reason, according to the third embodiment, the position measurement can be executed at a timing at which the position measurement is highly likely to succeed. Therefore, according to the third embodiment, it is possible to provide useful information to the user while further reducing power consumption than the processing described in the second embodiment, and to improve the convenience for the user.

(Embodiment 4)
In the following embodiment 4, an example of control in which the mobile terminal 1 notifies the possibility of theft according to the object on which the own device (mobile terminal 1) is held will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the mobile terminal 1 according to the fourth embodiment. The functional configuration of the mobile terminal 1 according to the fourth embodiment is different from the mobile terminal 1 according to the above-described embodiment in the points described below.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the storage unit 30 further stores anti-theft mode management data 30E and vibration pattern data 30F.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the anti-theft mode management data 30E. As shown in FIG. 12, the anti-theft mode management data 30E includes information on whether or not the anti-theft mode is valid, and information on the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1). It is. As described in the above embodiment, the anti-theft mode notifies the management server 100 of the possibility of the theft when an object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is moving by a predetermined movement method. It is a function to do. In the example shown in FIG. 12, “ON” is stored in the anti-theft mode management data 30E as information as to whether or not the anti-theft mode is valid, and the information on the object in which the own device (mobile terminal 1) is held. "Bicycle" is stored as “ON” indicates that the anti-theft mode is valid. If the anti-theft mode is invalid, for example, “OFF” is stored.

  The vibration pattern data 30F indicates that the own device (mobile terminal 1) moves by the predetermined moving method for each type of vehicle on which the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) may move. The vibration pattern based on the magnitude and direction of the acceleration acting on the mobile terminal 1 when being stored is stored. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the vibration pattern data 30F. In the example illustrated in FIG. 13, for example, the vibration pattern data 30 </ b> F includes vibration patterns such as a bicycle, a motorcycle, a car, and a train.

  The control program 30 </ b> A provides a function for accepting a setting as to whether or not to enable the anti-theft mode and storing it in the storage unit 30. For example, the control program 30A displays a setting screen related to the anti-theft mode on the display unit 11, and allows the user to select or input whether to enable or disable the anti-theft mode on the setting screen. You may have. The control program 30 </ b> A provides a function for receiving a setting for specifying an object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) and storing it in the storage unit 30. For example, the control program 30A displays a setting screen for setting an object to be held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) on the display unit 11, and has a function for selecting or inputting the object on the setting screen. You may have.

  The control program 30A is a function for determining whether the anti-theft mode is valid when detecting vibration of an object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14. I will provide a. As a result of the determination, the control program 30A provides a function for performing notification by an alarm sound when the anti-theft mode is valid.

  The control program 30A compares the vibration pattern for each vehicle type included in the vibration pattern data 30F with the vibration pattern of acceleration based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14, so that the object moves in a predetermined manner. It has a function for judging whether or not it is moving. As a result of the determination, the control program 30A determines whether the object specified from the anti-theft mode management data 30E is a self-propellable object when the object is moving by a predetermined movement method. A function for determining with reference to the condition data 30B is provided. If the result of determination is that the object is a self-propellable object, the control program 30A uses the vibration pattern data 30F as the vibration pattern when moving by a predetermined movement method corresponding to the object. And a function for determining whether or not the vibration pattern and the acceleration vibration pattern based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14 substantially match. The control program 30 </ b> A provides a function for notifying the management server 100 of the possibility of theft of the object if the result of determination is that they do not substantially match. That is, for example, when the own machine (mobile terminal 1) is held by a bicycle, the control program 30A determines whether the bicycle holding the own machine (mobile terminal 1) is moving by self-running. In the case of moving by a moving method other than self-propelled, it is determined that the possibility of theft is high, and the management server 100 is notified.

  The determination condition data 30B includes list information of objects that can be moved by self-running.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 40 includes a reception unit 40d. The receiving unit 40d receives a setting as to whether or not to enable the anti-theft mode, and stores it in the storage unit 30 as a part of the anti-theft mode management data 30E. The receiving unit 40d receives a setting for specifying an object held by the own device (the portable terminal 1) and stores it in the storage unit 30 as a part of the anti-theft mode management data 30E.

  The determination unit 40a compares the vibration pattern for each vehicle type included in the vibration pattern data 30F stored in the storage unit 30 with the vibration pattern of acceleration based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14, It is determined whether the object is moving by a predetermined moving method. For example, the determination unit 40a determines that the target object if any of the vibration patterns for each vehicle type included in the vibration pattern data 30F substantially matches an acceleration vibration pattern based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14. A determination result that an object is moving by a predetermined moving method is derived.

  As a result of the determination, the determination unit 40a determines whether the target specified from the anti-theft mode management data 30E is a self-propellable object when the target is moving by a predetermined movement method. The determination is made with reference to the determination condition data 30B.

  When the determination result shows that the object is a self-propellable object, the determination unit 40a acquires the vibration pattern when the object is moving by the movement method corresponding to the object from the vibration pattern data 30F. Then, it is determined whether or not the vibration pattern and the vibration pattern of acceleration based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14 substantially match. For example, when determining whether the vibration patterns substantially match each other, the determination unit 40a compares the waveforms indicating the time series changes in the magnitude and direction of the acceleration constituting the vibration patterns, and determines a predetermined value between the waveforms. When the similarity is recognized, it is determined that the vibration patterns substantially match each other.

  As a result of the determination, the determination unit 40a determines that the vibration pattern when moving by the movement method corresponding to the object and the vibration pattern of acceleration based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14 substantially match. Then, it is determined that the object is moving due to self-running, and a determination result that there is no possibility of theft is derived. On the other hand, if the vibration pattern when moving by the movement method corresponding to the object does not substantially match the vibration pattern of acceleration based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14, the object The management server 100 determines that the object is moving by a moving method other than self-propelled, derives a determination result that there is a possibility of theft, and sends a mail for notifying the possibility of the theft of the object. Send to. That is, for example, when the own device (mobile terminal 1) is held by a bicycle, the determination unit 40a determines whether the bicycle holding the own device (mobile terminal 1) is moving by self-running. It is determined whether it is moving by a moving method other than the above, and when moving by a moving method other than self-propelled, it is determined that the possibility of theft is high, and the management server 100 is notified.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of processing by the mobile terminal 1 according to the fourth embodiment. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 14 is realized by the control unit 40 reading and executing the control program 30A stored in the storage unit 30. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 14 is different from the processing procedure of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 in the steps S502 and S506 to S508.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the control unit 40 detects the vibration of the object held by the own device (the portable terminal 1) based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14 (step S501).

  As a result of the determination, when the control unit 40 detects the vibration of the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) (step S501, Yes), the anti-theft mode management data 30E is subsequently referred to. In step S502, it is determined whether the anti-theft mode is valid.

  If the anti-theft mode is valid as a result of the determination (step S502, Yes), the control unit 40 outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 15 via the sound processing unit 20 (step S503).

  Subsequently, based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14, the control unit 40 determines whether the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is moving by a predetermined moving method (step S504). .

  As a result of the determination, the control unit 40 notifies the possibility of theft when the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is moving by a predetermined moving method (Yes in step S504). The mail is transmitted to the management server 100 (step S505), and the process shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the result of determination is that the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is not moving by a predetermined moving method (No at step S504), The process shown in FIG.

  In step S502, if the determination result shows that the anti-theft mode is not valid (No in step S502), the determination unit 40a subsequently determines its own device (No.) based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14. It is determined whether the object held by the portable terminal 1) is moving by a predetermined moving method (step S506).

  As a result of the determination, when the target object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is moving by a predetermined moving method (step S506, Yes), the anti-theft mode management is subsequently performed. With reference to the data 30E and the determination condition data 30B, it is determined whether the target object held by the own device (the portable terminal 1) is a self-propellable object (step S507).

  As a result of the determination, when the target object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is a self-propellable object (step S507, Yes), the control unit 40 is subsequently detected in step S506. It is determined whether there is a possibility of theft in the movement (step S508). More specifically, the control unit 40 acquires the vibration pattern when moving by the movement method corresponding to the object from the vibration pattern data 30F, and based on the vibration pattern and the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14. It is determined whether the acceleration vibration pattern substantially matches. When the determination unit 40a determines that the vibration pattern when moving by the movement method corresponding to the object does not substantially match the vibration pattern of acceleration based on the output detected by the acceleration sensor 14, as a result of the determination, A determination result that the object detected in step S506 is likely to be stolen is derived. That is, for example, when the mobile device 1 (mobile terminal 1) is held by a bicycle, the mobile device 1 is self-running to see whether the bicycle holding the mobile device (mobile terminal 1) is moving by itself. This means that it is determined whether or not the vehicle is moving by any other moving method, and if it is moving other than by self-propelled, it is determined that the possibility of theft is high.

  If the result of the determination is that there is a possibility of theft (step S508, Yes), the control unit 40 moves to the above step S505 and transmits a mail notifying the possibility of theft to the management server 100, and FIG. The process shown in FIG. On the other hand, when there is no possibility of theft as a result of the determination (No in step S508), the control unit 40 ends the process illustrated in FIG.

  In step S507, if the result of determination is that the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is not a self-propellable object (step S507, No), it is shown in FIG. The process ends. That is, the portable terminal 1 determines that the user is not wary of theft when the antitheft mode is not valid. Furthermore, the mobile terminal 1 is in a situation where the object moves by any moving method when the object held by the portable terminal 1 is an object that cannot be self-propelled such as a back. However, it is determined that there is a high probability of moving with the user. For this reason, the mobile terminal 1 does not notify the possibility of theft.

  In step S506, the control unit 40 determines that, as a result of the determination, the object held by the own device (mobile terminal 1) is not moving by a predetermined moving method (step S506, No), FIG. The process shown in FIG.
